Good morning, McHenry County ...

Election proves interest in local government is climbing The 2017 consolidated municipal election is behind us, and there was more interest this time.

With lots of contested races, McHenry County voters increased turnout from about 10 percent to 15 percent Tuesday night.

No, that’s not the turnout we hoped for, but 33,151 votes cast is an improvement, so let’s focus on the good. More engagement is better than less. It’s better than status quo.

Even our Northwest Herald website traffic, 216,246 page views, reflected a more invigorated public when it comes to municipal elections.

Tuesday was the third biggest day for web traffic in the history of NWHerald.com, only shadowed by the national story the day Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz was found dead and the tragic day that two McHenry County deputies were shot in a domestic incident in Holiday Hills.

We were able to get at least results, stories, photos and briefs from 31 contested races into print for Wednesday morning’s paper.

When you don’t get final results until close to midnight, that’s a lot harder than it sounds.

No, we couldn’t get to everything and are limited by the constraints of time, space and staff, so we had to make decisions – some on the fly, but we brought the best report that we could.

I heard from many Harvard readers about not getting to a contested Harvard alderman race won by Jay Schultz and some referendums there. We’re following up today.

It wasn’t the only thing we couldn’t get to Tuesday night.

I’ll take the fall for that, and in hindsight, I wish we would have had it. But I’m impressed with how many Harvard residents shared their disappointment with us. That shows how much they care about a great town and know they are engaged enough with us to call

‘‘

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons and email.

As an editor, I’ll take that all day. People who don’t complain often don’t care. And as we’ve preached again and again, we all need to care about these local races. Making sure the local newspaper is accountable just as government officials should be is part of the deal.

So thanks to all who participated as candidates, as voters and even just as bystanders. Maybe those who didn’t participate this time will be motivated in two years, when we do it all over again.

We realize that local government isn’t the only thing readers care about.

Outside of the office, I’m sometimes as normal as many of you and promise not to bore you with tax increment financing districts and zoning ordinance discussions in a social setting.

Prep sports, business news, local feature stories about interesting people, new restaurants, entertainment, national and state news are among the many other things we try to offer.

But we put a great deal of effort into local government coverage because we believe it’s important, so it’s great to know that readers agree.

Let’s aim for 20 percent next municipal election.

I’ll gladly take 20 percent more complaints for more community engagement. This is more than just a job to us. This is what news coverage is all about.

People who don’t complain often don’t care. And as we’ve preached again and again, we all need to care about these local races.

Making sure the local newspaper is accountable just as government officials should be is part of the deal. ”

A story about the McHenry County College Board of Trustees election that appeared on page A7 of Wednesday’s paper incorrectly named the school board on which candidate Diane Evertsen served. Evertsen served on the Harvard School District 50 Board.

Voter participation upticks to 15 percent for odd-year election

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The small minority of McHenry County voters who participated in Tuesday’s election upset the political order in some places and left it alone in others.

Voters in Lakewood handed majority control of the Village Board to an insurgent trustee they elected village president, along with a trustee slate he assembled under a new political party to lower taxes.

But Lakewood residents and their fellow voters in Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 spurned a slate of anti-tax candidates and elected an incumbent and a slate backed by the teachers union.

Anti-tax slates for other school boards, which account for most of homeowners’ property tax bills, were larger and healthier than past elections, but likewise fared poorly.

Six such candidates ran in McHenry School District 15, where six of the board’s seven seats were up for grabs because of resignations – only two prevailed.

Voters handed other local governments split decisions on change.

The two open seats on the McHenry County College Board of Trustees were given to incumbent Vice Chairwoman Linda Liddell and former McHenry County Board member Diane Evertsen, who promises fiscal reform and has a track record of voting against spending to back it up.

Evertsen ran with a like-minded candidate in hopes of joining forces with two fiscal hawks on the Board of Trustees to form a majority, but the other candidate fell short. However, voters chose Evertsen over two other establishment candidates with ties to MCC. Voters in McHenry Township also sent a mixed message on change that could set up four years of acrimony, courtesy of a schism in township Republican politics that pitted newcomers against incumbents who quit the party over the caucus rules and ran as independents instead.

Republican candidates defeated the incumbent independents for all four trustee seats and unseated the village clerk. However, the incumbent township supervisor and highway commissioner narrowly

Despite this, two of the winners signal that reform is on township voters’ minds.

The top vote-getter in the 12-candidate trustee field was Wonder Lake barber Bob Anderson, who is one of the loudest and oldest voices in the state for abolishing township government all together.

Dan Aylward, the Republican who handily won village clerk, sparked an anti-tax movement last year by paying his property taxes in dollar bills.

Municipal races also were a mixed bag – voters kept the status quo in some municipalities and gave the reins to newcomers in others.

Incumbent Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager easily defeated two challengers to win a fourth term, and the three incumbents on the Crystal Lake City Council likewise fended

CRYSTAL LAKE – Two incumbents received the top votes in the Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board race, according to unofficial results.

There were four open seats on the board, with two incumbents and three write-in candidates running.

Betsy Les and Eileen Palsgrove led the race with 4,226 and 4,205 votes, re-

spectively, and write-in candidates received a total of 2,464 votes, unofficial results showed.

Write-in candidates were John Pellikan, Jonathan Powell and Daniel Palombit. A breakdown in votes among valid write-in candidates were listed on the clerk’s website Wednesday. Pellikan received 903 votes, Powell received 894 votes and Palombit received 175 votes, according to unofficial results.

The District 155 Education Association supported both Powell and Pel-

likan, according to its Facebook page.

Both are Prairie Ridge High School teachers, according to the school’s website.

Palombit is the associate principal for operations at Dundee-Crown High School, according to the school’s website.

Write-in candidate votes have to be counted by hand and then entered into a server, which is why they came out later, McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan said.

City of Harvard elects new 1st Ward alderman

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The city of Harvard’s 1st Ward will have new representation after voters elected Jay Schultz to office.

The newcomer, owner of J’s Lanes in Harvard, won with 102 votes, unseating incumbent Charles Marzahl, who had 48 votes. Elizabeth Haderlein received 78 votes.

Schultz said that as alderman, he wants to make sure communication is a priority.

“I know the importance of listening to the people talking to you,” he said.

“We can’t fix everything. It doesn’t work that way. But we can talk about it. I want to make Harvard a better community for the people that are here.”

“I know the importance of listening to the people talking to you. We can’t fix everything. It doesn’t work that way. But we can talk about it. I want to make Harvard a better community for the people that are here.”

Jay Schultz, Harvard 1st Ward alderman-elect He added that he doesn’t want to see city government become stagnant and doesn’t want to sit on the council for too many consecutive terms.

“I will do my four years, and I may run one more time,” he said. “But I won’t do it for more than eight years. At that point you become part of the system and don’t see where change needs to happen.”

Schultz said he feels there are enough new people in office at this point for

Harvard to be poised for change.

“We have a terrific new mayor, and I think he will help us go in a good direction,” Schultz said. “We have a new superintendent that will move us in a good direction. … I think a lot of pieces fell into place last night.”

Harvard’s 2nd Ward will be represented by a write-in candidate. Results were not immediately available Wednesday. Kevin Williams and Daniel Carncross both ran.

LOCAL BRIEFS McHenry County coroner identifies man killed in Hebron crash

HEBRON – The McHenry County Coroner’s Office has identified the 29-yearold Gurnee man killed last weekend in a single-vehicle crash as Mark Ofenloch.

Bidet, faucet maker planning to bring jobs to Crystal Lake

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – An Algonquin company that makes bidets and faucets plans to move its manufacturing and distribution to Crystal Lake, bringing 15 jobs to the area.

BBC Innovation Corp. plans to move into the building at 7900 S. Route 31. The space previously was home to Food Warming Equipment, which moved 106 jobs to Tennessee in 2012.

BBC Innovation Corp. makes Bio Bidet and the Flow Faucet line of products. The company outgrew its existing facility at 204 Berg St., Algonquin, account manager Dean Sideris said. It plans to move to the larger Crystal Lake building later this month or in May. BBC Innovation sells its products in 20 countries, including the U.S. and Canada. Most of the company’s sales are residential, Sideris said.

Bidets – popular in Europe, Japan and elsewhere – are gaining ground in the U.S., and BBC Innovation Corp. has been looking to expand for some time, Sideris said.

BBC Innovation has a number of premium and luxury bidets, including one that costs $1,700 and offers a “distinctive blue backlit wireless remote inspired by today’s most exciting technology [that] puts full control in your hands for a refreshing clean,

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year by hosting several special events to highlight the institution’s history. The celebration will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday with a Golden Homecoming.

MCC students, alumni, retirees and current and former employees and board members are encouraged to attend.

Attendees that day will get the chance to talk with current and former students and faculty and preview a special documentary on MCC’s 50th anniversary. Participants also will learn about the college’s plans for the next 50 years, including MCC’s latest initiative, the Liebman Science Center, which is scheduled to open in 2018.

“After 50 years, we want to reflect on and celebrate our rich history and also envision the progress we hope to

make in higher education for the next 50 years. We are committed to developing successful citizens who contribute to the future success of the community,” Christina Haggerty, interim vice president of institutional advancement, said in a news release.

Community members also are invited to stop by the corridor between Buildings B and C at the college to view MCC’s historic 50-year timeline, which will be on display throughout the year.

After the homecoming event, MCC will host its MCC Scots Fest on June 10 to honor the community for its support of the college’s 50 years of progress.

Continued from page A3 off two challengers with ease.

Marengo Mayor Don Lockhart lost his bid for a fourth term to newcomer John Koziol.

In Lake in the Hills, Village President Paul Mulcahy – who was dogged by a charge of domestic battery – lost his bid for a second term to Trustee Russ Ruzanski.

Support on the Algonquin Village Board for the Longmeadow Parkway project likely cost longtime trustees Bob Smith and Brian Dianis their seats, which they lost to challengers Laura Brehmer and Janis Jasper, who live near the planned parkway and oppose it.

In Cary, where two slates lined up behind both mayoral candidates, incumbent Mayor Mark Kownick leads challenger Jim Cosler by 21 votes, according to unofficial totals. But two of the three trustee seats went to the faction backing Cosler’s run.

Regardless of location, voters apparently were in no mood to let former officeholders get their jobs back.

Voters in McHenry overwhelmingly chose political newcomer Wayne Jett over former Mayor Steve Cuda to succeed outgoing Mayor Susan Low. Former MCC Trustee George Lowe came in last in that five-way race,

and former Hebron Village President Frank Beatty came in last in a fourway race for the job.

Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar speaks April 21, 2014, at the State of Illinois building in Chicago. Claar has been mayor of Bolingbrook for more than three decades but faces a spirited challenge from union organizer Jackie Traynere in the Tuesday election. what that home run would be.”

Claar hosted a fundraiser for Trump in September, which angered some voters in the suburb of about 75,000 people.

As a result, support for Traynere poured in from top Democrats nationwide, including from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois and a group spun out of the campaign of former Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.

The municipal contest was seen as an early test of whether local candidates who supported Trump in last year’s blistering presidential election face backlash at the polls. Traynere said Trump’s visit to the community about 30 miles from Chicago “opened a door of opportunity that we wouldn’t have had.”

“There’s clearly something in the air for change,” Traynere said.

Claar previously dismissed the situation in Bolingbrook, saying Democrats are “trying to take over” and partisan

Congressman Randy Hultgren will answer questions during the event.

Questions will come from the audience and must be written on question cards passed out by league members. The questions will be reviewed by league issues specialists for clarity, conciseness, duplication and suitability, according to a news release.

League rules prohibit signs and other politically oriented items within the league session.

The event is being co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County, the League of Women Voters of the DeKalb Area Members At Large Unit, the League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area, the League of Women Voters of McHenry County and the League of Women Voters of Naperville.

politics shouldn’t be a factor in the race.

His tenure has seen major development and growth in Bolingbrook. The municipal contest is technically nonpartisan.

But concerns raised in the presidential campaign and initial months of Trump’s tenure have hit home in the racially diverse community with two mosques and where at least 20 percent of the community is foreign born.

More than 1,000 people signed a petition asking Claar not to hold the Trump fundraiser, noting the Republican’s derogatory comments about immigrants, Muslims and women. Claar also was a Trump delegate at the Republican National Convention. In November, the community backed Hillary Clinton with more than 60 percent of the vote.

Turnout typically is low in such municipal contests where voters weigh in on local offices such as assessor and county commissioner.

CHICAGO – A longtime suburban Chicago mayor who held a fundraiser for President Donald Trump last year has expanded his narrow lead in his re-election battle with a union organizer backed by top Democrats.

With all precincts reporting Wednesday, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar held a 104-vote lead over Will County Commissioner Jackie Traynere. The vote count will be made official April 25 after the vote-by-mail ballots postmarked

by April 4 and provisional ballots are counted. The Will County Clerk’s Office said there are no more than about 400 of those votes to be counted, and Traynere spokesman Tom Bowen did not hold out much hope she could overtake Claar.

“It’s an uphill climb,” he said. “Jackie has called Roger to congratulate him.”

Still, after supporting Trump, a 104vote lead in a race in which about 12,500 votes were cast was a far different experience for a mayor who has been in office since 1986 and whose past three elections came after running unopposed or against write-in candidates. Claar did not return phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment late Tuesday or Wednesday.

However, he told the Chicago Tribune his tight race against Traynere may mean there will be problems for the Republican Party in 2018.

“It’s very troublesome that the civil unrest is taking place across this country and showing up at the ballot box,” said Claar, a member of the Illinois Republican State Central Committee. “The unrest in Washington continues, and unless there’s some real economic indicators or some home runs hit (by the White House and the GOP), it’s going to be problematic in ’18, and I don’t know

14 JOLIET

College board reflects on posthumous win

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – She died March 7, but on Tuesday night, Susan Marie Klen won a spot on the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees.

JJC board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said he hasn’t seen anything like this before, but he knew it was possible because Klen was an asset to the college in her previous term from 2009 to 2015.

“This was a reflection of her positive contributions,” Mihelich said.

JJC board President Robert Wunderlich, however, said he was shocked when he saw the voting results.

Wunderlich said he wasn’t sure whether people were unaware Klen is deceased or whether it was a sympathy vote. Nevertheless, Klen was a great and qualified choice, he said.

“She was a great person and board member,” Wunderlich said. “As a board member, she gave her whole heart and soul to JJC. She wanted to do the right thing on every level – students, administration, tuition, taxes, sustainability – anything to do with

JJC, she was 110 percent.”

Klen earned 25,999 votes, the second highest among four candidates running for the two-year term, based on Susan Marie unofficial consolidated Klen election results from JJC’s website.

John Mahalik also won a two-year term with 26,395 votes. For six-year terms, Trustees Dan O’Connell and Alicia Morales won seats at 23,838 and 21,689 votes, respectively.

Mike O’Connell came in third after Klen with 24,626 votes, while Margaret Hornung garnered 23,389.

Posthumous election wins aren’t unheard of. They happen from time to time across the country, according to published reports.

But the question remains – who will fill Klen’s term?

JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said the school is waiting to hear back from the Will County Clerk’s Office about proper procedural steps.

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots did not immediately respond to

“She was a great person and board member. As a board member, she gave her whole heart and soul to JJC. She wanted to do the right thing on every level – students, administration, tuition, taxes, sustainability – anything to do with JJC, she was 110 percent.”

Robert Wunderlich, Joliet Junior College board president repeated requests for comment.

But Will County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Chuck Pelkie said the matter is under review by the State’s Attorney’s Office’s Civil Division.

Meanwhile, Wunderlich said that based on information from the board’s attorney and the Illinois State Board of Elections, it appears that when votes are canvassed, Klen will be declared the official winner.

But she cannot serve, so Mike O’Connell would get the spot.

“We won’t have to appoint him – he’d take over the spot,” Wunderlich said. “It was a nonpartisan election, but if it was a partisan election, a Republican or Democratic committee would nominate somebody.”

Last-minute mail-in votes still have to be counted, and the voting results become official April 25. The board’s first meeting of May will include a reorganization of the board, as well as a declaration and swearing-in of the newly elected board members, Wunderlich said.

Mihelich said it wasn’t surprising at all to see Klen’s name capture the votes to get elected.

“She was loved within the JJC community, and this was a tribute to her legacy at JJC,” Mihelich said.

Asked about Klen’s decision to run for a board spot again, he said she wanted to serve in that capacity once more.

“She was a public servant and loved students,” Mihelich said.

Middle and high school students from sixth through tenth grades can get an interactive glimpse of more than a dozen career paths at a free Career Exploration Showcase April 5 at McHenry County College. Featured fields include manufacturing, robotics, health care, social assistance, finance, marketing, the arts, graphic design, and more.

Hosted by MCC in partnership with all McHenry County School Districts, the McHenry County Economic Development Corporation, and the Workforce Investment Board, the expostyle showcase allows students to visit booths for the participating companies and MCC academic departments.

Helping teens explore the nuts and bolts of various jobs can set them on a course for a career that will provide them with lifelong fulfillment and productivity, noted Kellie Carper, MCC’s manager of new-student transitions.

“Many of the activities will be interactive,” Carper said. “They’ll learn about educational requirements and what jobs actually look like in each field. For instance, health care representatives will demonstrate different health care jobs, and some of the manufacturing companies will have equipment for the students to see and products they might produce.”

Carper emphasized the importance of getting students and families thinking about how a student will use high school to set themselves on a career path.

“We target middle school and early high school students, so the majority of attendees are seventh and eighth graders and freshmen,” she said. “Getting them exposed early on gives them an opportunity to take classes in high school that would be helpful on the employment front, and then transition that learning into the college world.”

The Career Exploration Showcase is 5:30–7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 5 in the MCC Gym/Multipurpose Room and Commons. For more information, contact Kellie Carper at (815) 455-8670 or kcarper@mchenry.edu.

Jill Griffin, school superintendent for Bethalto School District 8, speaks Wednesday while accompanied by other Illinois district superintendents, during a news conference at the state Capitol in Springfield. Her district and 16 others have filed a lawsuit against the state for failing to adequately fund public schools. education adviser Beth Purvis issued a statement Wednesday saying school districts are receiving record levels of funding under the first-term governor.

“The governor never stops working to increase funding for our students and hopes school districts across Illinois will work with him,” she said.

Rauner has ended the practice of providing general state funding at reduced levels after six years of these lower payments. But state dollars meant to reimburse districts for special education, transportation and other programs long have been and continue to be shortchanged.

The superintendents emphasized that high standards do little to improve learning while schools await these re-

duced payments now backlogged amid the state’s two-year budget stalemate.

The standards outline learning “benchmarks” students should reach by the end of each grade and are monitored with standardized tests.

“How relevant are these standards if I don’t have the most basic funding necessary to take students to and from school every day?” asked Bethalto School District 8 Superintendent Jill Griffin.

Illinois courts have weighed in before on school district funding challenges. In 1996, the state’s highest court ruled the issue should be argued in the Legislature, leveling a blow to a group of districts that had challenged the constitutionality of how Illinois funds schools.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – All East Dundee police officers soon will be required to wear body cameras.

East Dundee Police Chief Terry Mee said officers are expected to be equipped with the devices within the next year. He is calling them a “stateof-the-art need” for law enforcement.

Outfitting officers with body cameras is becoming a common practice among police departments. Mee said the footage could provide his officers with additional information to support criminal prosecutions and training efforts.

The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights reported that the department has contracted with Arizona-based TASER International to provide 20 cameras plus video storage and management systems. Mee said the village budgeted more than $21,000 for first-year expenses.

East Dundee’s 19 officers will undergo training and begin using the cameras in May. The village expects to receive the devices this week.

Southern Illinois college student shot dead in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS – Officials said a Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville student from Chicago was killed in a St. Louis-area shooting.

The St. Louis County Police Department said three people were in a vehicle early Tuesday when it crashed. Authorities said 18-year-old Khiry Taggart and a 19-year-old woman were shot before the crash. Taggart was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was in stable condition at a hospital. The third passenger wasn’t injured.

Police are investigating.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois has failed to provide enough money to public schools to produce the “high-quality education” the state requires, forcing districts to cut programs, lay off staff and borrow money to keep the doors open, educators claimed in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Superintendents for 17 central- and southern-Illinois districts said they filed the action in St. Clair County Circuit Court in the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis.

They contend that the state has fallen short of its constitutional duty to sufficiently finance the top-notch schooling state officials require since adopting learning standards in the late 1990s. The lawsuit didn’t immediately appear in online court records.

The shortfall hits less-affluent districts hardest, the lawsuit said. The districts lack the property wealth necessary to generate enough revenue in real estate taxes to make up the difference.

“It’s as if we’ve been using duct tape and super glue to keep our system from collapsing all together,” said Dan Cox, school superintendent for Staunton School District 6, one of the plaintiffs.

Each of the 17 districts spends less than the per-pupil state average and has increased class sizes, cut programs and relied on community support to keep schools running, he said at a state Capitol news conference.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, the Illinois State Board of Education and the state itself are named as defendants.

Schools are required to comply with guidelines the board set in 1997 that were aligned with federal standards in 2010.

The superintendents said they support the standards but need the state to increase funds to achieve them. Rauner’s

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – Mary Anderson, a climbing enthusiast who helped start the outdoor retailer REI that has become the nation’s largest consumer-owned retail cooperative, has died at 107.

REI said she died March 27, the Seattle Times reported Tuesday.

Anderson and her husband, Lloyd, along with 21 other mountaineering friends, started the consumer cooperative in 1938 out of a desire to find high-quality, affordable climbing gear in the U.S. By forming a co-op, they were able to buy outdoor gear in bulk from Eu-

rope and other places.

REI, headquartered south of Seattle, has grown to about 6.3 million active members, more than 140 retail stores and about 12,000 employees.

Anderson’s “legacy is deeply engrained in REI, and her contributions to the outdoor community extend far beyond the co-op,” the company said in a statement. “REI and our employees are grateful to the Andersons for their dedication to REI and the incredible foundation they established.”

In search of high-quality outdoor gear and relying on Anderson’s German skills to translate gear catalogs, the couple discovered they could or-

der ice axes from Austria and have them delivered to Seattle at better prices, according to an REI blog post.

Friends heard what they were up to and wanted to get involved.

The couple and 21 other outdoor enthusiasts officially formed Recreational Equipment in 1938. Each paid for a $1 lifetime membership fee.

Mary Anderson held membership card No. 2, according to the Mountaineers, the Seattle-based nonprofit outdoor organization in which the Andersons were heavily involved.

For years, the Andersons operated the co-op out of their Seattle home.

Mary stitched tents and packed food in boxes while Lloyd sprayed them

with waterproofing – a room off their kitchen served as their office, the newspaper reported.

“They never started this buying cooperative to create a store,” said Thomas Vogl, CEO of the Mountaineers and a former senior vice president of marketing at REI. “All they really wanted to do was make it easier and more accessible for people to get into the outdoors.”

Anderson was born in central Washington’s Yakima Valley. She was a longtime teacher in Seattle public schools and was among a handful of people who helped set up the Mountaineers climbing course in 1936.

She retired from REI in 1968.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Size up situations and plan your strategy before you take action. Use your insight and ability to thoroughly assess whatever situation you face before you proceed to the finish line.

Trust your sense of timing to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Commit to your beliefs and loved ones.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Taking business trips, giving interviews and learning skills will help you set a course for success. If you honor a promise, you will gain an ally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t take someone’s challenge of you the wrong way. Size up

the situation before you commit to any competitive act that could lead to an injury. Stand up for yourself in a safe and thoughtful way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Consider making a change to your current living arrangements or the environment you work in. An opportunity will arise, but before you accept, make sure you can afford the underlying cost.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Stay focused when it comes to work and taking care of business.

Refuse to let anyone dump his or her responsibilities in your lap. Let your anger spur you to work harder.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let your personal life interfere with your job. If you have taken on too much, you must step up and work hard to

get things done on time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A change in your personal finances is apparent. Be careful how you deal with tax matters and people trying to take advantage of you. Focus on personal gains.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll attract interesting people. Be careful what you get drawn into.

Change can be good, but not if you can’t afford it. Temptation will drag you down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – The choices you have will excite you, but will probably leave friends or loved ones worried about the outcome. Reassurance will help you gain support instead of negativity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you change your lifestyle, it will give you the freedom you

need to follow your heart and dreams. Don’t give in to someone trying to control your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Home is your sanctuary, and whether you make a residential move or alter your current living situation, you stand to prosper. Listen to your heart and put your energy into home improvements.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Paying down personal bills will get you back on track. Money will come from an unexpected source, but you will end up being responsible for the paperwork involved.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – It will be difficult to keep up with all the changes going on around you. Take a step back and remember what’s important. Emotional arguments can be expected.

Experts: Election affirms transgender policy

School district votes on bathroom use issue

Palatine Township High School District 211 Board candidate Ed Yung unloads yard signs from the trunk of his car to post near polling places Monda in Hoffman Estates.

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – School board candidates who supported a plan to let a transgender student use the girls’ locker room at a suburban Chicago school survived an election challenge in one of several local races that took on an issue that has been the focus of state and national debate.

Tuesday’s contest in the roughly 12,000-student, five-high school district was a unique referendum on transgender bathroom use. While numerous schools and municipalities nationwide are grappling with the question, the issue overtook the election in suburbs northwest of Chicago, which was the community’s first chance to weigh in at the ballot box.

Experts said the results in Palatine’s Township High School District 211 could provide guidance, and political cover, to other districts. Two incumbents and a former board member supporting the policy won despite three challengers whose top priorities included changing it.

“It’s encouraging,” said Christopher Clark, a regional director for Lambda

Top Mexican official said to tip drug cartel about probe

MEXICO CITY – In a major embarrassment for Mexican law enforcement, U.S. prosecutors said in documents made public Wednesday that the commander of a Mexican police intelligence-sharing unit was passing information on a DEA investigation to the Beltran Leyva drug cartel in exchange for millions of dollars.

Ivan Reyes Arzate, 45, was named in a U.S. district court indictment, just hours after Mexican federal police commissioner Manelich Castilla revealed that an unnamed agent had been charged with obstructing an investigation.

What Castilla did not say was that Reyes Arzate was the commander of a federal police sensitive investigative unit. The special units, known as SIUs, were formed

Legal. “The attempt to deny these students the ability to be who they are, and be safe in school serves no legitimate purpose. This may be a sign that the public is starting to understand.”

The issue played a less prominent role in other Illinois elections Tuesday, including in the nearby Elgin School District U-46, which is Illinois’ second largest with 40,000 students. There, unofficial results showed three school board candidates won after supporting a district policy allowing students to use bathrooms based on gender identity.

The Palatine district’s current practice allows the student, who has lived as a girl since middle school, to use the

girls’ locker rooms with the understanding she would use a private changing station that other students also can access, as well as the girls’ bathrooms. The policy followed a 2013 federal complaint, packed board meetings and intervention from former President Barack Obama’s administration.

Opposition to its practice re-emerged on the campaign trail, with three candidates saying a top priority was to change the policy.

The three challengers received backing from Parents for Privacy, which sued the district over claims that the transgender policy violates other students’ privacy rights. But Vicki Wilson,

starting in the 1990s precisely to create more secure groups that the U.S. could feel comfortable sharing intelligence with.

Castilla said Reyes Arzate had been fired in November. He is in U.S. custody.

The Justice Department described Reyes Arzate as “the principal point of contact for information being shared between U.S. law enforcement and the Mexican Federal Police.”

According to the U.S. indictment, Reyes Arzate was caught on a wiretap in September telling a drug trafficker to get rid of his communications equipment because he was under investigation and his phones were being tapped.

He even sent the trafficker a surveillance photo that the Mexican police unit had taken of him. That photo – sent to a mobile device that was being tapped – was what first awoke suspicions among U.S. officials that there was a mole in the investigation.

Reyes Arzate has acknowledged meeting with a drug trafficker but denied sending him information.

The U.S. indictment unsealed Wednesday in Chicago said Reyes Arzate was the top commander of an SIU unit whose officers

were specially trained and vetted by the U.S., including weeklong training at a DEA school in Quantico, Virginia.

Video gambling parlors sue Illinois over profit-sharing

CHICAGO – Two companies that own video gambling parlors have sued the Illinois Gaming Board to challenge rules requiring them split profits with the businesses that operate the gambling machines.

The lawsuit argues that the nearly 6,000 parlors in the state could reinvest more money in their operations if they weren’t required to evenly divide their profits, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The lawsuit was filed in Cook County by the owners of the Dotty’s Cafe, Stella’s Place and Shelby’s gambling-parlor chains.

The two companies argue that gambling parlors and the terminal operators should be free to negotiate their own profit-sharing deals and that establishments should be allowed to buy, install and maintain their own machines.

“The amount in profits the Video Gaming Act divvies out to each party is not

who co-founded Parents for Privacy, said she didn’t see the election as a referendum on the issue, since candidates also stressed fiscal responsibility.

“We’re going to continue,” she said Wednesday. “The children are not all being respected.”

The group’s federal lawsuit is being argued by the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom, which said Wednesday that several districts are going the other way. For example, school officials in Derby, Kansas, which last year crowned a transgender student king of a winter ball, this year reversed its policy allowing transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity.

President Donald Trump’s administration in February revoked an Obama administration directive instructing public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms of their chosen gender. Trump’s administration is leaving it to states and school districts to interpret federal anti-discrimination law.

“It’s not an easy issue, I admit that,” said school board member Robert LeFevre Jr., who was re-elected with Anna Klimkowicz and a former board member. “There is not a right or a wrong answer. It’s something to be managed and dealt with very carefully.”

rationally related to the contributions or investments each party may make toward the business or the amount each party has at risk,” the lawsuit argues.

N. Illinois man gets 59 years in wife’s beating death

ROCKFORD – A judge has sentenced a northern Illinois man to 59 years in prison for killing his wife with a baseball bat in 2012 and dumping her body in the Rock River.

Todd Smith of Machesney Park maintained his innocence during Tuesday’s sentencing hearing. He called 30-year-old Katrina Smith’s killing “an evil, senseless tragedy.” He apologized for “failing in my role as husband and protector” and he’s “not guilty as the state portrayed.”

Winnebago County Judge Fernando Engelsma replied, telling Smith, “You killed her” and “Your actions after the crime then, I find unfathomable.”

Prosecutors said Katrina Smith wanted out of her marriage to Todd Smith, but he wouldn’t let her go and even tracked her with a device under her car.

Trump: Syria attack affects my attitude toward its leader

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – His expression grave and his words emphatic, President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the deadly chemical attack in Syria had crossed “many, many lines” and abruptly changed his views of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But he refused to say what the U.S. might do in response.

Trump issued no ultimatums in comments that were being scoured by world leaders for signs of how the new president would react to a global crisis. In a rare reversal of roles, Trump was more reserved than many of his top advisers – including his U.N. envoy, who revived the hard-hitting rhetoric of Trump’s political campaign and strongly hinted some U.S. action was coming.

Trump himself was noncommittal.

“I’m not saying I’m doing anything one way or another, but I’m certainly not going to be telling you,” he told reporters.

He blamed the attack squarely on Assad’s forces, although the embattled Syrian leader and his Russian backers denied it. He suggested that the assault that killed 72 people had diminished his former reluctance to plunge the U.S. further into the complex and dangerous turmoil in the Middle East.

“When you kill innocent children, innocent babies – babies, little babies – with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines,” Trump said in the White House Rose Garden. U.S. officials said the gas likely was chlorine, with traces of a nerve agent like sarin.

While continuing to fault predecessor Barack Obama for much of the current situation in Syria, he acknowledged that dealing with the crisis is now his own responsibility and vowed to “carry it very proudly.”

President Donald Trump and Jordan’s King Abdullah II speak Wednesday at a news conference in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D.C. Only days earlier multiple members of Trump’s administration had said Assad’s ouster was no longer a U.S. priority, drawing outrage from Assad critics in the U.S. and abroad.

But Trump said Tuesday’s attack “had a big impact on me – big impact.”

“My attitude towards Syria and Assad has changed very much,” he said.

Since the attack Tuesday in rebel-held territory in northern Syria, Trump has been under increasing pressure to explain whether the attack would bring a U.S. response. After all, Trump’s first reaction was merely to blame Obama’s “weakness” in earlier years for enabling Assad.

Obama had put Assad on notice that using chemical weapons would cross a “red line” necessitating a U.S. response, but then failed to follow through, pulling back from planned airstrikes after Congress wouldn’t vote to approve them. Trump and other critics have cited that as a key moment the U.S. lost much global credibility.

“I now have responsibility,” Trump said. “That responsibility could be made a lot easier if it was handled years ago.”

Yet he was adamant that he would not telegraph any potential U.S. military retaliation, saying anew that that was a

mistake the Obama administration had repeatedly made.

Standing alongside Jordan’s King Abdullah II at a news conference, Trump appeared to adopt the first part of Obama’s stance – that chemical weapons use is intolerable – while stopping short of saying what might come next.

That left some Assad opponents wanting more.

“It’s simply impossible to shame the Assad and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin regimes with words alone,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. The strongest indication that the U.S. might act came at the United Nations, where U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley held up photos of the attack’s victims in an emotional plea to the Security Council to intervene.

“When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action,” Haley said.

Although Trump didn’t mention it, both Haley and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have argued that Russia and Iran – Assad’s two staunchest allies – must use their influence to prevent him from mounting further attacks. Tillerson said Russia needed to “think carefully about their continued support for the Assad regime.”

Dems elevate attacks as showdown nears Gorsuch expected to take high court seat Friday

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats elevated their attacks against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Wednesday, portraying him as an ally of the powerful and an enemy of the weak as an explosive showdown loomed on the Senate floor. Republicans defended Judge Neil Gorsuch, accusing Democrats of trying to block him out of frustration over Trump’s election victory.

“Democrats would filibuster Ruth Bader Ginsburg if President Donald Trump nominated her,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., naming one of the more liberal sitting justices. “There is simply no principled reason to oppose this exceptional, exceptional Supreme Court nominee.”

Democrats begged to differ, returning again and again to McConnell’s decision last year to deny consideration to then-President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, who was ignored for nearly a year by Senate Republicans after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

Instead McConnell kept Scalia’s seat open, a calculation that is now paying off hugely for Republicans and Trump, who will be able to claim the biggest victory of his presidency to date if Gorsuch is confirmed Friday as expected.

“For the first time in history, we are considering a nominee for a stolen Supreme Court seat, and that alone should be reason for everyone who cares about this institution to turn down this nominee,” Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said on the Senate floor as he wrapped up

a 15-and-a-half-hour overnight talk-athon to underscore his party’s opposition to Gorsuch. “This is an extreme nominee from the far right who doesn’t believe in the fundamental vision of ‘We the People.’”

First, however, looms showdown votes Thursday, when 44 Democrats and independents intend to try to block Gorsuch by denying Republicans the 60 votes needed to proceed to final passage. McConnell and Republicans intend to respond by unilaterally changing Senate rules to remove the 60-vote filibuster requirement for Gorsuch and all future Supreme Court nominees, reducing it to a simple majority in the 100-member Senate.

The pending developments prompted much hand-wringing from senators on both sides of the aisle about the future of the Senate as a bipartisan and deliberative body, although they themselves were in position to prevent it from happening and failed to do so.

Moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said roughly 10 senators of both parties worked over the weekend to come up with a deal to stave off the so-called “nuclear option,” as the rules change is known, but couldn’t come to agreement. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware was at the center of talks on the Democratic side. In 2005, a bipartisan deal headed off GOP plans to remove the filibuster barrier for lower-court nominees, although in 2013 Democrats took the step instead, leaving the filibuster in place only for Supreme Court justices.

With Trump in the White House and political polarization at an extreme, senators working toward a compromise did not appear to have much support from leadership and weren’t able to finalize a deal.

“We just couldn’t get there,” Collins said.

When a new season of The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones starts, most viewers haven’t thought about the show in months. That can be a problem: These big, twisty TV dramas don’t make any sense out of context. If you don’t remember who killed whom during the last season finale, then the premiere will be pure nonsense. And so, a few days before the season airs, networks will usually release a recap. They want the details fresh in your mind, because if you don’t remember what’s already happened, you won’t understand what happens next.

Math is the same way. Unfortunately, as kids head back to math class after summer vacation, HBO won’t remind them what they did the year before.

The summer slide—not as fun as it sounds

We call the sharp decline in math skill from one year to the next “the summer slide,” and it’s more than just kids being rusty or restless. A 1996 study in the Review of Educational Research showed that students lose 2.6 months’ worth of math instruction over the summer each year. This means that, at the end of the break, it will be as if your child had skipped every single math class from September 1st to Thanksgiving, and they will do the same thing, year after year, until they graduate.

This is bad, and not just in the short term. Math, like a long-running TV show, builds on itself, and losing core skills can have a lasting impact. A student can safely forget the details of a novel she read in fourth grade, but if she doesn’t remember how to do division, that’s going to be an issue. This may explain why the effects of the summer slide accumulate: the achievement gap between high- and low-income students widens every year, and a study by Johns Hopkins University found that the slide could account for two-thirds of that gap. Summer learning loss isn’t just a problem for your child’s next school year. It’s a problem for their whole life.

How to keep from slipping Here’s the good news: The slide can be stopped, or at least minimized. The RAND Corporation has researched summer school best practices, and they’ve found that experienced teachers offering individual attention can improve students’ math scores in the fall and beyond. The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), meanwhile, argues that students tend to think math only exists in the classroom, so it will be harder for them to forget what they’ve learned if they start to see the abundance of math in the world around them, be it a game of Monopoly or a task like measuring ingredients.

And so, as an instructor at Mathnasium, I’m going to point out that our program offers all these solutions, and that we continue to offer them throughout the summer months. We have individualized learning plans for each student that will help them get ahead and shore up skills they’ve forgotten over the past summers.

And our focus on number sense instead of rote memorization will make kids notice math everywhere they go.

So please, head over to our website at mathnasium.com. We’d be thrilled to help your child fight the summer slide.

But if a tutoring center is outside your budget, check out the National Summer Learning Association at summerlearning. org, because the slide is real, and the slide is scary, and no child deserves to have their future jeopardized by it.

I’ve compared math to a TV drama, and I think it’s an apt comparison. Both build on existing knowledge. Both are easy to forget in the off-seasons. Both can be confusing when you’re thrown back into them. But there’s one key difference: If I’m watching The Walking Dead and don’t really understand what’s happening in front of me, that’s fine.

If a student feels the same way in a math class, it’s not.

• Thursday, April 6, 2017

SEOUL, South Korea – A North Korean missile test ended in failure Wednesday when the rocket spun out of control and plunged into the ocean in a fiery crash, a senior U.S. defense official said.

The launch came shortly before U.S. President Donald Trump’s first meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this week, raising speculation that it might have been timed to get their attention.

The extended-range Scud missile suffered an in-flight failure and fell into the sea off North Korea’s east coast, according to U.S. imagery and assessments, the official said on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the launch publicly.

Initial U.S. and South Korean assessments had indicated it was an advanced KN-15 medium-range missile, whose first known test by North Korea was in February. But unlike the KN-15, which uses solid fuel, the missile fired Wednesday used liquid fuel and was fired from a fixed location, rather than a mobile launcher, the official said.

The South Korean military said the

duct a nuclear test. The missile launch may be a precursor, with more to come as the summit starts Thursday, he said.

“I’ve joked before that they don’t mind being hated but they definitely hate to be ignored,” Cossa said.

Recent satellite imagery shows possible preparations for a test at North Korea’s main nuclear test site, including the laying of communication cables used to initiate a test and collect data.

North Korea’s state media have said the world will soon witness what they called “eventful successes” in the country’s space development. The U.S., South Korea and others call North Korea’s space program a cover for its longrange missile development program.

South Korea’s Foreign Ministry called the North’s latest missile launch a “reckless provocation” that posed a threat to international peace, while Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said his country lodged a strong protest over the launch.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson acknowledged the launch in a brief statement but said the U.S. had spoken enough about North Korea and would not comment further.

Trump has said China must do more to pressure North Korea to halt its nuclear and missile programs.

A test for Trump

Perhaps it is just a coincidence that the worst chemical weapons attack in Syria since 2013 came only a few days after the Trump administration confirmed it would not seek to remove blood-drenched dictator Bashar Assad from power. Like Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, we suspect not. Either way, the horrific assault Tuesday on a rebel-held town will test whether President Donald Trump will tolerate flagrant crimes against humanity by the Assad regime. So far, the signs are not good.

In an early-morning raid, witnesses said, Syrian planes bombed Khan Sheikhoun, in northern Syria, with chemical agents that, according to posted videos, caused victims to foam at the mouth and struggle for breath. Syrian sources reported at least 58 people were killed, including 11 children, and hundreds of others affected. Some died when a second air raid targeted one of the clinics where people were being treated.

United Nations investigations have established that the Assad regime has dropped barrel bombs filled with chlorine gas on civilians on multiple occasions since agreeing in 2013 to hand over its chemical arsenal and abide by a treaty banning chemical-weapons use. The Tuesday attack appeared even more serious: Medical personnel on the scene cited symptoms consistent with exposure to nerve agents, such as sarin. It was a sarin attack near Damascus in August 2013 that prompted President Barack Obama first to propose, and then to retreat from, punitive military action against the Assad regime. Obama later described himself as “very proud” of his decision, because it led to a deal that supposedly eliminated the Syrian chemical stockpile.

Tuesday’s attack underlined that Obama failed to accomplish even that goal, while his withdrawal from the scene opened the way to the destruction of the moderate Syrian opposition, the growth of the Islamic State and the intervention in Syria by Russia.

Now it is Trump’s turn to decide whether to stand up to Assad and his Iranian and Russian sponsors. So far he is ducking: A statement issued in his name said the attack was “reprehensible” and “cannot be ignored by the civilized world,” but then quickly pivoted to blaming the Obama administration for its “weakness and irresolution.”

To its credit, the new administration excoriated Russia and China on Feb. 28 when they blocked a U.N. Security Council resolution sanctioning Syria for its documented use of chlorine. The two governments, charged U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, “turned away from defenseless men, women and children who died gasping for breath when Assad’s forces dropped their poisonous gas. They ignored the facts. They put their friends in the Assad regime ahead of our global security.”

Will Trump now do the same?

Lower age for adult criminal courts If you are a 17-year-old in Texas, you can’t legally buy cigarettes or beer or even a lottery ticket. You can’t vote. You cannot marry without parental consent.

But you can go to jail if you’re caught shoplifting an expensive designer handbag – because the state’s criminal laws view 17-year-olds as adults.

This legal inconsistency doesn’t promote public safety or reduce recidivism rates – and it has serious consequences for former young offenders when they start looking for jobs and housing.

For all these reasons, Texas lawmakers should raise the age of criminal responsibility to 18.

Adolescent brains differ from those of adults and, reflecting that fact, most states place the age of criminal culpability at 18 or older. But that’s not true everywhere. In New York, for ex-

ample, 16-year-olds are considered adults in criminal matters.

When a 16-year-old is arrested in Buffalo or Manhattan, police have no duty to notify his or her parents, nor do police need to ask parental permission to question a 16-year-old suspect.

Change the age to 17, and the same is true in Texas.

Seventeen-year-olds tend to commit the same crimes as 16-year-olds – drug possession and theft – and don’t belong in the adult criminal justice system any more than younger adolescents do.

The 17-year-olds are at greater risk of sexual victimization in adult systems than adolescents kept in juvenile custody.

They receive fewer rehabilitative and mental health services than teens in the juvenile system, and they tend to have higher recidivism rates after

release. And those 17-year-olds have adult criminal records.

Rep. Harold Dutton Jr., D-Houston, leads the state House Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee.

He wrote HB 122,which raises the age of criminal culpability from 17 to 18. (state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, filed a similar bill, SB 941.) A March hearing on the House bill produced a long list of supportive witnesses – groups ranging from the Texas NAACP to the Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission to the Texas PTA – and one opponent.

It was approved.

Other states have raised the age of criminal responsibility without overwhelming their juvenile justice systems or blowing their budgets. Texas can do the same.

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 Scott Reeder lost his central spot on the plate. He’s been relegated to the edge with only half his face showing. It is as if he is trying to stay as faraway as possible from the Illinois Capitol, which has its dome depicted on the other side.

I can’t blame Honest Abe. Those rascals under the dome haven’t managed to pass a budget for more than two years. Who would want to be anywhere near them?

The most prominent depiction on the new plates is another emblem of Illinois’ dysfunction: Chicago. The Windy City’s skyline is right behind Abe’s ear.

Not to sound too provincial but that isn’t my Illinois. Never has been, never will be.

I grew up on a hog farm south of Galesburg and now reside in a village of 600 near Springfield.

Leave it to Secretary of State Jesse White, a product of the Chicago political machine, to impose “his Illinois” on the rest of us.

I don’t want to be driving my Chevy pickup around my community with Chicago emblazoned on its front and back any more than most Chicagoans would want Collinsville’s Catsup Bottle Water Tower on their Priuses and Audis.

It’s Chicago’s corrupt political culture that has driven the Land of Lincoln to the brink of bankruptcy. I don’t need to be reminded everytime I climb in my truck.

Other states know how to do a plate right.

Nevada and Colorado have plates showing majestic mountain ranges. Hawaii shows the splender of a rainbow. Kansas has the beauty of a sunset.

Illinois, on the other hand, has thrown in everything but last week’s leftover lasagna.

In a nod to the rural portions of the state, they even have put in an old-fashioned windmill – the kind most farmers haven’t used for more than 50 years.

One of the first things we did back in 1973, when my parents moved to the farm, was tear down that useless windmill. It was an eyesore. Now we have them stuck on every new license plate.

At a cost of $5 million a year, the new tags will be phased in over the next decade for most vehicles.

Pickup trucks, like mine, will have a longer wait.

Drucker said a schedule has not been set up for re-plating them.

In order to save money, Drucker said the plates were designed in-house rather than by hiring a graphic design firm.

Talk about penny-wise and pound-foolish.

What should be a poster for Illinois’ greatness has become an advertisement for its government’s banality.

Instead of the simple elegance of a prairie scene, we end up with a bland smorgasbord of imagery that divides rather than unites and bores rather than inspires.

Should we be surprised by this latest product of state government? No. It’s Illinois. Even our license plates are disappointing.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Find fair and balanced news

To the Editor: Please find some other source of “news” than The Associated Press and The Washington Post.

Neither source has ever had anything positive to say about President Donald Trump and his administration.

Just by looking at the headline of a report, I know the report is from AP or the Washington Post.

There must be some fair and balanced media out there that this newspaper can use.

Condemn the riots

To the Editor: Really.

It’s truly a sad commentary on the state of the DNC when their supporters have to riot because they disagree with someone.

The day after the election, riots broke out in cities all across the U.S., simultaneously. Now tell me this wasn’t planned and premeditated.

And no one from the top Democrats

condemned these riots or any since then.

By not condemning them, they are in essence condoning them, as is the mega-media. Condoning anarchy against the U.S. and all the while blaming Mr. Trump, really?

Don’t blame the rioters, don’t blame the people paying and busing in the rioters, don’t blame the college professors spewing hate America rhetoric, don’t blame the people coordinating the riots, blame the guy who wants to bring the country together again.

If the rioters and hate-mongers put all that energy into solving unemployment, feeding the hungry, helping American Indians on reservations, or help veterans to not commit 22 suicides a day, maybe then they could do some good. Violence really solves nothing, it just creates more problems. Just saying stay tuned.

It looks to me like the existing railroad bridge design is from about the 1940’s. The IDOT roadway project would be completed in about 2030.

We would then have a 90 year old railroad bridge crossing over a new IDOT pavement.

At some point, that bridge would need to be rehabilitated. An issue that may be in play here is what agencies would fund bridge rehabilitation costs if the work is done after 2030. Perhaps the railroad would be required to fund a larger portion of the cost at that time.

SPRINGFIELD – Not only does the Land of Lincoln have the biggest deficit, the greatest debt, the worst credit rating – we now have the ugliest license plates.

In recent weeks, the new plates have begun appearing on streets throughout the Land of Lincoln.

In fact, a few weeks ago, I pulled up to a stoplight in Springfield and pointed out to my wife a new tag on the car in front of us.

Her reaction: “Yuck! We aren’t going to have to put that on our car, are we?”

Her sentiments were the same as mine.

And we aren’t alone. Chicago Tribune critic Blair Kamin has devoted two columns to how much he despises the new plates.

But Illinois Secretary of State spokesman Dave Drucker is quick to point out that while the plates have received some criticism, a majority of those responding to a Chicago SunTimes poll said they liked the new design.

“I guess it comes down to the eye of the beholder,” he said.

Well, I don’t like what I behold.

New ways to return online purchases

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO

limit for top-tier customers.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – As online shopping surges, so do the returns – and the hassles for shoppers trying to get rid of items that aren’t right. A few startups dedicated to online returns as well as changes at some big stores may make it easier.

With the contest for shoppers’ loyalty intense, retailers need to keep them happy – and returns can be a key part of that. Online purchases get returned at about twice the rate of in-person selections, said internet consultant Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali. And fewer than half sell again for full price, according to research company Gartner Inc. Some stores have long allowed people to return to a store merchandise they bought online. Flash site Gilt Group lets shoppers take returns to Saks Off Fifth stores, since they have the same owner. The new options allow shoppers to drop their items off at dedicated mall kiosks, or even have things picked up at their doorstep.

“Retailers have to be competitive, whether it’s free shipping or free returns,” said Tobin Moore, CEO of Optoro, which helps retailers find the best resale price when a product is returned.

Here are some of the new ways returns are getting less painful:

LABEL-LESS RETURNS

Companies are getting more accommodating to shoppers who don’t have printers at home and find it harder to produce return labels. UPS, which has more than 100,000 U.S. drop-off locations, said it tested a program last year that allowed people to present a barcode on their phones at UPS. It’s now expanding that feature. “We want to make it simple. We want to make it more convenient,” said Jim Brill, a UPS marketing manager.

pers in a hurry, which will take them straight into a service area where they can make returns – including for items bought online. The company plans to implement the redesign at about a third of its stores in the next three years.

Nordstrom has introduced a “Drop & Shop” service in Manhattan for online returns from its discount division Nordstrom Rack and its Hautelook flash sale site. The company said it’s been encouraged by the shorter waits BYPASSING THE LINES AT STORES Target is redesigning its stores and positive feedback from shoppers. to have a separate entrance for shop- It’s testing the service elsewhere at its

Rack stores and working toward expanding it this summer, spokeswoman Kendall Ault said.

EXTENDED DEADLINES

Plenty of stores are lengthening the timeframe for returns. Target extended the deadline to one year on items in its more than 30 exclusive brands, for a full refund. The previous limit was 90 days. Online shoe retailer Zappos has long offered a 365day return policy, but as part of its loyalty program it now has no time

Logistics company Happy Returns is building a network of return bars at malls in a partnership with several online-only retailers. Shoppers can make returns in person and get a full refund right there.

“Our research shows that people don’t want to pay for the cost” of the postage, said David Sobie, CEO of Happy Returns.

The company is working with mall operators Macerich, Westfield and Simon at seven malls in five cities.

Those include Tysons Corner outside Washington, D.C., and the Westfield Center Mall in San Francisco. The retailers include custom shoe company Shoes of Prey, fashion brands Eloquii and Everlane, and marketplace seller Tradesy.

“Where is shopping going?” CEO Daphne Carmeli asked. “We believe that fundamentally the epicenter of shopping is moving toward the home.”

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 2017

NEW YORK – David Letterman will replace an ailing Neil Young as the person inducting Pearl Jam into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Friday.

According to a statement from the hall, Young “is regrettably no longer able to induct Pearl Jam” due to illness and is “thrilled” that former TV talk-show host Letterman will substitute. Pearl Jam made its “Late Show with David Letterman” debut in 1996 with a version of “Hail, Hail.” In addition to Pearl Jam, the new rock class includes the late rapper Tupac Shakur, ELO, Journey, Nile Rodgers, Joan Baez and Yes. The ceremony will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, walk along the colonnades of the White House on Jan. 20 in Washington before the start of presidential inaugural festivities for the incoming 45th President Donald Trump.

Joe and Jill Biden get multi-book deal NEW YORK – First the Obamas, now the Bidens. Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, have book deals.

Flatiron Books said Wednesday that it will release two books by Joe Biden and one by Jill. Joe Biden’s first book will “explore one momentous year,” when his son Beau died in 2015 and his agonized decision against running for president. Biden has said recently that he regrets his choice and believes he could have defeated Republican Donald Trump, who pulled off a stunning upset against the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Biden’s memoir is currently untitled and no release date was announced. Flatiron, a Macmillan imprint, is calling the book “the story of not just a politician, but of a father, grandfather, friend and husband.”

“We’re so deeply honored to be the publisher of these books by Vice President and Dr. Biden,” Flatiron president and publisher Bob Miller said in a statement. “The Vice President’s book promises to give us all a deeper understanding of recent political history, but it will clearly also be a book about the values that have given the Vice President strength in both good times and bad.”

Flatiron did not provide details about the two other books it acquired or about financial terms. Two publishing officials with knowledge of negotiations said bidding went at least into seven figures. The officials were not authorized to discuss negotiations and asked not to be identified. The Bidens were represented by Creative Artists Agency.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country star Alan Jackson, actor-singer-guitarist Jerry Reed and songwriter Don Schlitz will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame later this year.

Their selection was announced Wednesday.

Jackson, 58, from Newnan, Georgia, broke out in 1990 with his neo-traditional style of honky-tonk country music that earned him several multiplatinum records. His hit songs include “Chattahoochee,” “She’s Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).”

Jackson, with his signature white hat, said during the press conference that his dad’s wooden radio inspired him to write “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” one of his first singles.

The radio is now in an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, along with a pair of water skis he wore for the music video for “Chattahoochee.”

“I’ll be in the Hall of Fame with Daddy Gene’s radio and my water skis and some blue jeans with holes in them,” Jackson said.

Pepsi pulls widely mocked ad featuring Kendall Jenner

NEW YORK – Pepsi on Wednesday pulled an ad after it was widely mocked and criticized for appearing to trivialize protests for social justice causes.

“Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding,” the company said. “Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologize.”

It said it was “removing the content and halting any further rollout.”

The ad shows Kendall Jenner, a member of the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” reality TV family, stepping away from a modeling shoot to join a crowd of smiling, young protesters. The protesters cheer after Jenner hands a can of Pepsi to a police officer, who takes a sip.

PepsiCo Inc. had previously said the ad was created by its in-house team and that it would “be seen globally across TV and digital” platforms.

Paula Deen plans new restaurant near Savannah

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Paula Deen is opening a new seafood restaurant on the same waterfront property outside Savannah where an eatery she co-owned with her brother closed three years ago.

Local media outlets report the celebrity cook plans to open Paula Deen’s Creek House in June on Whitemarsh Island. A press release said the menu will feature fried fish, shrimp and grits and other seafood dishes.

It’s the same location where another of Deen’s business ventures, Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House, closed in April 2014. Deen co-owned that restaurant with her brother, Bubba Hiers, but has said she had little involvement in its daily operations.

Uncle Bubba’s was at the center of a workplace discrimination lawsuit that stung Deen’s reputation after she admitted in a legal deposition to using racial slurs in the past.

30 Hard contact on soccer pitch can cause concussion Dear Doctor: My husband, who plays in a weekend soccer league, is troubled by some new reports he has read that suggest soccer might be as dangerous as football. Can you explain the studies?

Dear Reader: Your husband may be referring to a pair of studies published in February that examined the potential risks of heading the ball, a common move in soccer. One study, conducted at a British university, found signs of brain damage in a group of professional soccer players, all of whom had decades-long careers. The other study, published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, focused on amateur players. The study found an increased risk of concussion both from heading the ball and from accidental contact during a game.

But before you insist your husband turns in his cleats, let’s take a closer look at the data.

The British study examined 14 retired soccer players with dementia. The men, skilled at heading the ball, played for an average of 26 years each. When the brain tissue of six of the players was examined after their death, researchers found signs of trauma.

In four of the six brains, this included chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease also found in professional boxers, football players and hockey players. Although the small sample size of the British study kept researchers from drawing conclusions, they agreed the results reveal the need for large-scale studies.

In the American study, researchers followed 222 amateur soccer players, both men and women. Players reported how often they headed the ball, as well as any accidental blows to the head during play. They also rated the severity of symptoms like headache, dizziness, altered vision, weakness or confusion, which can indicate concussion.

The researchers concluded that while heading the ball increased a player’s risk of

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier concussive impact, accidental contact, such as an elbow to the head or colliding with another player, was even more common.

Research into sports-related concussions has previously focused on football and hockey, where bruising impacts are part of the game. Now, scientists are expanding their inquiries into soccer.

Soccer is the world’s most popular team sport. It is estimated that amateur players head the ball up to 12 times a game. Add in practice drills, and this can add up to 2,000 headers over 20 years. The question now is whether the effect of all those headers on the delicate structures of the brain can be cumulative.

For the authors of the American study, the answer was yes. They recommend players be aware of any concussion symptoms, even absent a conclusive concussion diagnosis. Should symptoms appear, players must avoid another collision in the following weeks, when the risk of another concussion spikes significantly.

The truth is, all physical activity carries both risks and benefits. One thing we discuss with our patients regarding soccer is the risk of knee injury, given the high lateral impact forces.

It sounds as though your husband is staying abreast of the latest research, which is wise. He can use it to decide how – and even whether – he decides to play soccer in the future.

Dear Readers:

DEAR ABBY Today marks the 100th anniverJeanne sary of AmeriPhillips ca’s entry into World War I. In commemoration, I’m mentioning a special initiative to save America’s war letters. Almost 20 years ago I wrote about a historian, Andy Carroll, who had launched a project to seek out and preserve war-related letters as a way of honoring and remembering our veterans, troops and their loved ones.

After the column appeared, Andy was deluged with responses. Today, that collection holds an estimated 100,000 wartime correspondences – from handwritten letters penned during the American Revolution and Civil War, to emails from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Andy has donated the entire collection to Chapman University in Orange, California, and the project is now called the Center for American War Letters.

This week, Andy and CAWL are kicking off an ambitious Million Letters Campaign.

Andy will travel nationwide speaking at public libraries, museums, Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts, civic groups, places of worship, military academies and more to explain the importance of these correspondences and encourage people to share with him their own war-related letters and emails. If you know of someone who has war letters, please share this information so the stories and voices of the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our nation will be preserved.

Andy would love to meet in person anyone with letters to contribute to this “Million Letters Campaign” and is always seeking new venues. If you know of a place he should speak, email him about it. For families with letters who cannot attend, submissions can be sent to Andrew Carroll/CAWL Chapman University, 1 University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. (Originals are preferred, but scans are also appreciated.)

Ultimately, Andy and CAWL are seeking letters from ALL American wars, on ANY subject matter. For information on how to attend or invite Andy to your community, visit www.WarLetters.us.

Dear Abby: My son, “Tom,” is a senior in high school. About a month ago, he asked a girl named “Allie” to the prom. She said yes. Allie’s mom is a hairdresser. My husband and I don’t know her or her husband. Allie’s mother has asked two different people about us. One of them told us about it; the other I heard about secondhand. So last week I introduced myself to her at a local function. We spoke briefly, and I told her I would be in touch. A few days ago I called to invite her out for coffee and left a message with my phone number. She hasn’t called me back. What can I do to get to know Allie’s mother better? – Prom Mom Dear Prom Mom: Make an appointment to have your hair done, and you’ll have at least an hour with her.

Johnson injures back falling down stairs on eve of Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. – Masters favorite Dustin Johnson took a serious fall on a staircase Wednesday and injured his lower back, and his manager said it was uncertain whether the world’s No. 1 golfer would be able to play the tournament.

It was a stunning Dustin development on an Johnson otherwise quiet day at Augusta National, where the course was shut down at 12:30 p.m. because of storms.

The real calamity struck a few hours later.

David Winkle, his manager at Hambric Sports, said Johnson fell on the stairs at the home he is renting in Augusta.

“He landed very hard on his lower back and is now resting, although quite uncomfortably,” Winkle said in an email. “He has been advised to remain immobile and begin a regimen of anti-inflammatory medication and icing, with the hope of being able to play tomorrow.”

Johnson is in the last group for the opening round, scheduled to tee off at 1:03 p.m. with two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson and PGA champion Jimmy Walker.

MARIAN CENTRAL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Emotional goodbye

Watling resigns after husband lands new job

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Laura Watling had an important message to deliver to her Marian Central volleyball players after school Wednesday.

Watling stood at the stage of Marian’s auditorium, next to Hurricanes athletic director Curtis Price, and notes in her hands.

Watling, who made Marian one of the state’s top programs, could not make it a minute before there were tears in her eyes, as she informed the players she would be leaving the program. Watling’s husband, Bill, runs data center operations for J.P. Morgan and will help open two centers in Colorado. The Watlings were asked to move by June.

“This is easily the toughest thing I’ve ever had to face,” Watling told the Hurricanes. “You have to know how important you guys are to me. You who aren’t seniors, continue the tradition. You’re the ones who make it run. Continue to support each other, play for each other, and you’ll do amazing things.”

Watling, 36, has coached at Marian for 17 years, nine as an assistant under former coach Deb Rakers and the past eight as head coach. Her teams were 24380 in those eight seasons, with four Class 3A Final Four appearances.

Marian won the 2015 Class 3A state championship, then followed that with a runner-up finish last season.

“It’s going to be difficult (to follow her),” senior middle blocker Rachel Noonan said. “Having to come up after our state championship last year and our runner-up is hard enough. Now a brand-new coach trying to do that is going to be really hard. It was sad to sit there and watch all her emotions. It almost made me want to cry, too.”

Price acknowledged that following Watling will not be an easy job.

“The girls work really hard for her,” he said. “It’s going to be tough to find someone to come in and take her place.

The main thing is I want to have a coach who’s going to believe in the mission and the philosophy of our school. It’s going to be a tough search, but I’m sure it’s going to be a job a lot of people are going to want. It should be exciting for some-

Marian Central girls volleyball coach Laura Watling resigned Wednesday after spending 17 years as a coach in the program, including the past eight as head coach. one to continue to build on what coach Watling has done so far.”

Watling was Northwest Herald Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016. Along with the state championship and runner-up finishes the past two years, the Hurricanes also had a pair of third-place finishes at state.

“It was sad,” senior right-side hitter Lauren Hanlon said. “When you think of MCVB, it’s Laura, a familiar face, someone you can talk to. It’s too bad for the other girls who are not going to be able to get to know her like we did. She’s honest with us. We all trust her.”

Watling’s last two teams at Marian were a combined 79-5. Senior setter McKayla Wuensch had older sisters play at Marian and has identified Watling with Marian volleyball since age 5.

“She really cares about making a relationship with the girls and making sure they learn from volleyball,” Wuensch said. “Not just on-the-court stuff, but how to be good people. She wanted to be our friend and be sure we could come to her for anything.”

At Marian, only Watling and Price knew what was happening before Wednesday’s meeting. Watling knew moving was a possibility but thought it would happen later. The Watlings visited Colorado over spring break, and Bill was told he was needed in June, although the building in which he eventually will work has yet to be built.

Watling said her husband will work in Broomfield or Aurora. Their 5-yearold daughter, London, will start kinder-

garten in the fall.

Watling, who teaches English at Dundee-Crown, did not think she would have time to find a teaching or coaching job for next year, although she plans on returning to coaching.

“I can’t stop coaching; it’s in my blood,” Watling said. “I’ll probably spend this fall getting a feel for the schools. Watch some stuff, get to know people and see what’s out there. I’ll probably try to get in with some club volleyball program out there in the winter.”

Watling graduated from Crystal Lake Central and was 19 when she began coaching at Marian with Rakers. She also coaches at Sky High Volleyball in Crystal Lake, one of the nation’s top programs.

“It’s weird. I’m 36, and I’m kind of starting my life over,” she said.

Watling’s Sky High 15U Regional team qualified for its national tournament, which further complicates her move, in a good way.

“My team wants to go,” she said.

“Bill’s like, ‘Whatever, we’ll figure it out.’ I may fly back from Colorado to Minnesota.”

Price appreciated what Watling has done to bring Marian to this level of success.

“It’s tough losing any coach, especially one who’s been as successful as coach Watling,” Price said. “She’s been a staple here for 17 years. We developed a very good relationship (here as coaches). In my first year as athletic director, that relationship has gotten even better. I’m going to miss that, no doubt about it.”

CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH FOOTBALL

Soph has offers from Minnesota, Northwestern

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 6, 2017

Crystal Lake South football coach Rob Fontana’s phone is ringing often these days. Many of the calls, texts and emails are concerning sophomore offensive lineman Trevor Keegan.

How often is Fontana hearing from college coaches regarding Keegan?

“Basically every day,” Fontana said.

“It’s constant.”

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound lineman has two scholarship offers – from Northwestern and Minnesota – as things stand now, still four months before the start of his junior season.

Fontana said he has heard from upward of 50 schools. There’s a group of about seven schools that reach out at least once a week. Keegan is fresh off visits to Michigan State and Notre Dame over the weekend.

“Seeing Michigan State’s campus was really great,” Keegan said. “I got to watch the spring game. At Notre Dame, I watched practice. It was really cool, very high-octane, high-energy. That was neat.”

Keegan also visited Iowa in March and Ohio State in January.

He received the scholarship offer from coach P.J. Fleck’s Minnesota program March 28.

“I was very shocked,” Keegan said. “I got home after a lift and my coach called me. It’s good knowing the work’s paying off.”

Minnesota assistant coach Brian Callahan extended the offer. Keegan hopes to visit the Minneapolis campus for the Gophers’ spring game April 15.

Keegan received his first scholarship offer from Northwestern in June, well before his sophomore season. Keegan is friends with Crystal Lake Central junior lineman Wyatt Blake, who committed to Northwestern three weeks ago. The two played together growing up and still work out together on occasion.

“We chatted a little bit about schools and stuff, what his ideas were,” Keegan said. “It’s awesome seeing these kids around Crystal Lake committing, like (Prairie Ridge lineman) Jeff Jenkins (who is committed to Iowa). Seeing other people get offers, it’s really amazing because you grew up playing against them.”

Even with all the attention from col-

Fontana said. “He’s real mature about everything. When coaches come in, he handles himself really well. It’s exciting to watch.”

Keegan hopes to cut down to 275 or 280 pounds by the start of the season. In addition to the offseason workouts at South, he works out at Davis Speed Center in Crystal Lake.

Fontana will enter his first season as head coach this fall after Chuck Ahsmann retired after seven seasons in charge. The Gators finished 3-6 last year.

Fontana has watched his big sophomore lineman develop into a leader.

Keegan said his leadership qualities are what he hopes to improve most between now and August.

“I want people to look at me in a way that I’m one of the hardest workers,” Keegan said. “Lead by example for sure, always be doing the right thing and alShaw Media file photo ways being the guy that coaches go to, to direct the team.” leges, Fontana said Keegan has handled “It’s maturing him faster, but he’s In the meantime, Fontana’s ringing the recruiting process well. taking everything in the right way,” phone shows no signs of going silent.

4 CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Iowa resurrects Dahl’s dream

Senior accepts offer after Hawkeyes first told her they had no room

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com Madi Dahl made the difficult decision to stop playing volleyball after high school when a big-school opportunity wasn’t there.

The Crystal Lake South senior had her sights set on Iowa after attending a summer camp but received bad news when the Hawkeyes coaching staff told her they didn’t have room with two prior commitments at her position.

Still, Dahl enrolled at the Big Ten school for academics with a focus on biology, ready to move on from volleyball.

“I was extremely sad,” said Dahl, a 5-foot-7 libero and defensive specialist. “I didn’t want to stop playing, but I couldn’t find myself going to a smaller school because I wanted that big-school atmosphere.

“I had to do some give and take of whether I wanted to go to a good academic school or go to a smaller school for my athletics. Iowa won me over, so I kind of settled, and I was OK with it.”

Two weeks ago, on the car ride to her potentially last volleyball tournament, the 18 Red Sky High Volleyball Club player received a surprise phone call from Iowa assistant coach Bre Payton.

Dahl was asleep at the time when her mom woke her up to tell her that Iowa was on the phone. To Dahl’s surprise, Payton said a spot had opened and Dahl had a week to decide.

Dahl was quick to choose and committed to head coach Bond Shymansky and the Division-I Hawkeyes on March 27. She plans on visiting the team and facilities in the next two weeks.

“Both of my aunts and uncles went there, my cousin is there now, and I have another cousin going next year with me,” Dahl said. “I remember growing up and going to Iowa football games. I could always picture myself at Iowa, so when the option was to go to Iowa and give up volleyball, I had to take it because I just loved the school so much.”

Dahl led the Gators with 443 digs and was second with 32 aces. She was a Northwest Herald All-Area team honorable mention and All-Fox Valley Conference selection.

The three-year varsity player won a Class 4A sectional title in 2014 and a regional in 2015. Last year’s team almost upset No. 2 Prairie Ridge in a regional final at Gator Alley, falling, 29-27, 22-25, 25-21, to end its season.

South coach Jorie Fontana also is Dahl’s club coach at Sky High. The two have been together for four seasons, and Fontana was just as excited as anyone when Dahl broke the news to her team at a tournament in Indiana.

“Playing a position like defensive specialist or libero, it doesn’t often get the accolades or the recognition it deMadi Dahl serves,” Fontana said. “They’re kind Crystal Lake South volleyball player of like the workhorse of the match, but you always focus on kills and blocks, or something else.

“I think she’s got the perfect attitude for the role she’s been given. She’s a strong athletic player. She’s never too proud, or thinking she’s too old to hear advice and try a new way. She’s just the ultimate coachable kid and athlete.”

Dahl said she’ll miss the family atmosphere of South the most.

“What I’m going to miss about South is how the team was your family,” Dahl said. “Everyone was so supportive of each other. When I told [Fontana] about Iowa, she was beyond excited, and she immediately started to tell everyone.

“When I found out the opportunity at Iowa was there, I was so blessed and extremely happy.”

Crystal Lake native Tory Dello will try to help Notre Dame to a national championship when the Fighting Irish open the Frozen Four on Thursday against Denver at the United Center. hockey again. It’s been a really fun, challenging first year, and to be here in my first year is really special.”

Notre Dame (23-11-5) will face top-seeded Denver (31-7-4) in Thursday’s second semifinal after Harvard (28-5-2) takes on

Minnesota-Duluth (27-6-7).

The 20-year-old Dello was one of five freshmen who played in 35 or more games, giving the Fighting Irish the depth they needed to support the returning upperclassmen and reach the Frozen Four. He has

“I don’t remember the exact point, but we knew a few months back that it was crunch time, and we needed to start picking up some games and getting some points if we wanted to put ourselves in a good spot to get here,” Dello said.

Now Dello, who attended Crystal Lake Central, will try to handle the pressure of playing on the big stage on national TV near his hometown – along with Illinois-born teammates Bobby Nardella and Jack Jenkins and Blackhawks draft pick Dennis Gilbert.

“I have too many people requesting tickets, but it’s awesome to see the family and friends and all the support we’re all going to have,” he said.

“It’s something special, and we’re going to use it as homeice advantage.

“We were at the Garden (TD Garden in Boston for the Hockey East playoffs), and I think this is the Garden times 10. I think it’s the best rink in the world, so we’ll all be very excited going into [Thursday].”

Inside Baseball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK BRIAN FUENTES Crystal Lake South, sr., 3B Fuentes is 8 for 13 in his past four games, with five extra-base hits, and delivered the game-winner Tuesday against McHenry, a two-run homer in the top of the 10th for a 4-2 victory.

That homer was Fuentes’ second of the season. He had three hits, three stolen bases and scored twice in the game.

The Gators were red hot on their trip to downstate Marion, and no one was hotter than Fuentes, who had four extra-base hits and six RBIs in South’s three victories. Fuentes had two doubles, a triple and a home run as South put up 36 runs. He also scored six runs.

Fuentes moved to Crystal Lake in May from Caracas, Venezuela, and has been a welcome addition for the Gators, both at the plate and in the field.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Crystal Lake South (8-0): The Gators put up 36 runs in three games on their southern trip to remain unbeaten for the season. They edged McHenry, 4-2, in 10 innings in an epic Fox Valley Conference opener Tuesday night.

2. McHenry (3-1): The Warriors won their

Pecoraro started the Wolves’ baseball program when the school opened in the 1997-98 school year. He left coaching from 2007 to Proud Sponsor of 2009 and came back to coach the team since Athlete of the Week that point. The Wolves won the Class 4A state championship in 2008. only game last week, as Mike Lasiewicz and Pecoraro got his first trip to state with the Dylan Honkala combined for a two-hitter in a 2014 team, which took fourth in Class 4A.

5. Huntley (5-3): The Red Raiders sustained a they’re able to stay calm even in those tough two-game skid and fell from No. 2 to No. 5 this situations,” Prill said.

A year’s difference: Central coach Tom week.

Hintz ranged up the middle with a sliding stop Glen Pecoraro picked up his 400th career vic-

“That was a real nice play,” Mueller said.

“He’s making plays in the field now that he would have had a hard time making last year.

He’s just stronger, he’s worked hard.”

Unsettling trend: McHenry’s offensive woes could be the product of facing tough pitchers, but Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler is nonetheless concerned. McHenry got five hits in 10 innings Tuesday against South, as Gators starter Andrew Engelking went 8 /3 innings.

“Their kid was good, threw strikes. He was tough to hit,” Rockweiler said. “We have to make some changes. In our last 18 innings, I think we have seven hits. We’ve had a rough stretch. We have to find a way to compete a little bit better in the box.”

WHAT TO WATCH McHenry vs. Crystal Lake South The first game Tuesday was as good as it gets, 10 innings under the lights at McHenry’s Petersen Park. They are supposed to play again Thursday, but the weather might not allow it.

McHenry vs. Cary-Grove The series starts at C-G at 10 a.m. Saturday, then moves to McHenry at 4:30 p.m. Monday and back to C-G at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

It was only 101/2 months ago that Crystal Lake native Tory Dello captained Tri-City to the Clark Cup as champions of the United States Hockey League. Now, in his freshman season as a defenseman with Notre Dame, his Tory Dello team will play in the Frozen Four starting Thursday in his former backyard.

“I think I might have (played at the United Center) when I was maybe 10 years old, but it’s something I don’t remember,” Dello said after Wednesday’s practice session. “Youth hockey type stuff, but nothing of this magnitude.

“I had a long season last year, and I didn’t get much of an offseason, but it was nice to just jump right in and start practicing and start playing

been paired most of the season with junior defenseman Luke Ripley.

Dello registered his first collegiate point in his first game Oct. 7 against Arizona State and his first collegiate goal Oct. 27 against the Connecticut. Over his first 38 games this season, Dello had 12 points.

“It’s always our goal to make it to the Frozen Four and have a chance at winning a national championship,” Dello said.

“A few months ago we probably didn’t expect to be here, but we’ve been rolling over the past few months, and we’re glad to be here, and we’re going to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Notre Dame began the season a pedestrian 7-6-2, but that included a win on the road against Minnesota-Duluth. A five-game winning streak began Dec. 3 sparked by a home win over nationally ranked Boston University after trailing, 2-0.

Those were some of the signs that the Fighting Irish could put together a run. They’ve lost only twice since Feb. 1.

The best way to find where spring fish are biting Last week, I tried to get you enthused about what I hope is a tremendous kickoff to our 2017 northern Illinois open water fishing season. Mother Nature still is teasing us with erratic weather, but I know for sure that better days are coming.

We need some consistent warm weather and nights in which the temps don’t dip too far. A little break from the torrential rains wouldn’t be a bad thing, either. You know weather can be a double-edged sword. The rains tend to keep us locked indoors, but we needed the rains to get the water levels back up to normal on our rivers, which were dangerously low.

Looking at the 10-day forecast, I see temps climbing into the 70s with nighttime temps not falling below 50.

It’s time to hit the water, my friends.

I mentioned that ponds and small lakes are the first places to find active fish. I never mention spots like this by name because it’s too easy to draw a horde of fishermen and have the spot cleaned out quickly.

Virtually all ponds hold fish. Theses ponds can be found in housing developments, industrial parks, local town parks and even cemeteries. Most of these ponds hold bluegills and largemouth bass. Some hold catfish, and many have a large population of carp. I assume that all ponds have fish swimming in them.

Check out a pond by walking to the bank and looking into the water wearing a pair of Polarized sunglasses.

These specs work like magic, allowing you to see deep into the water. At this time of year, you might be able to see fish in the shallows. Concentrate and look for signs of fish if you don’t actually see any. Look for fish breaking the surface or swirling on top of the water.

They usually are there. There are few ponds that are devoid of fish.

Rig up with light equipment. Use light line on a light action rod attached to a light-weight reel. Live bait quickly will prove the existence of fish. A small hook and waxworm or piece of nightcrawler will attract just about any type of fish.

I’m an artificial bait kind of guy, so I am tying a small presentation to my line. I recently sang the praises of the white spinnerbait as the ultimate springtime presentation. A small inline spinner such as a No. 4 Mepp’s is a great all-purpose lure that will catch just about anything.

A lipless crankbait such as a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap catches a lot of spring bass. You also can’t go wrong by throwing a jig tipped with some kind of plastic.

The watchword for spring success is “slow.” You have to move your bait slowly. Spring fish do not chase fast.

They like their meals to swim by them

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley in a leisurely manner. The old adage is, if you think you are retrieving slowly, then slow down even more. Retrieving too fast is the biggest mistake fishermen make in the spring.

If you are fishing a jig, cast it out and then bring it in at a pace of about a half-crank every 30 seconds or so.

Letting the jig just sit on the bottom might be against what you usually do, but it is a technique that works this time of year.

When you select the pond that you intend to attack, you’ll have to figure out where on that pond you are going to fish. Experts will tell you that the north side of a lake or pond will be the best spot because the north side is the area that warms first.

You see, spring fish are looking for warm water. Now, there are times when the north side doesn’t perform best. If the bottom is too shallow or contains no fish-holding areas, move to another area. The side that the water is blowing into is the next best choice.

Look for objects such as big rocks and logs that attract sunlight and warm quickly. They will warm the water around them. Heck, even a shopping cart that some goofball dumped into a pond will heat up and attract fish.

Rain water generally is warmer than lake or pond water, so areas where rainwater runs into a pond or lake are key to finding fish. The influx of rainwater draws fish to that area like a magnet. Don’t pass up culverts as a great place to find fish.

After warmth, the next thing that draws fish is water that is highly oxygenated. The best source of oxygen for fish is weeds. Areas that hold newly emergent green weeds are great places to find spring fish.

OK, you know what to use for bait, and you know where to fish when you’ve selected your pond of choice.

Now with a little help from Mother Nature, we should all be out there catching some fish. Good luck.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The McHenry and Algonquin dams on the Fox River are at very high levels with all the recent rains. Some walleye are being caught on jig and minnow combinations. The McHenry County Conservation site, the Hollows, contains Lake Atwood, which has stocked trout in there. Make sure you have an inland trout stamp. They can be caught on

Berkeley trout Power Bait, spoons and spinners, as well as wax worms.

“Vulcan Lakes at the Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake has great fishing opportunities for bass, pike and catfish. This is a catch-and-release lake, and no minnows are allowed for bait. Fishing boat rentals begin Saturday. Call 815-356-2447 for more information on Vulcan Lakes.”

For information on northern Illinois fishing, call 815-455-2040 for an updated report.

Fox Chain O’ Lakes: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice.com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “The Fox Chain panfish are active right now. Jigs and plastics seem to be the best bet currently. Look for warmer water and you will find that the fish are there. Walleyes seem to be slow to fair. A mixture of jigs tipped with minnows and trolling crankbaits seem to be the best methods for scaring up a few fish.”

As of Wednesday, the Upper Fox River and the Fox Chain were deemed to be open for boating by the Fox Waterway Agency. The lower Fox River has been deemed to be a “no wake” area for now. With our unpredictable weather, you should always get up-tothe-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River. Spring rains can change water conditions in a matter of hours.

Youth turkey season: Youth turkey hunters harvested a record total of 1,541 birds during the 2017 Illinois Youth Turkey Season. The dates for this year’s season were March 25 to 26 and April 1 to 2. This was the first year two youth turkey hunting weekends were open for the entire state. Previously, there was one weekend dedicated for the South Zone and one for the North Zone. In 2016, 1,058 turkeys were harvested, combining both seasons and zones. The previous youth season record harvest was in 2012, when 1,300 birds were harvested.

ICF names new executive director:

The Illinois Conservation Foundation has announced the selection of Eric Schenck as the new executive director.

“Eric brings lots of excitement and valued leadership to the role of Illinois Conservation Foundation executive director. From his time with Ducks Unlimited to his efforts with youth conservation programs, Eric will be a great asset to the ICF,” said ICF board chairman Wayne Rosenthal, who also serves as director of the IDNR. Schenck most recently was manager of conservation programs with Ducks Unlimited, where he was responsible for raising funds and administering waterfowl conservation programming in Illinois and Indiana. The ICF director position was empty for six months after the removal of the previous director, Eric Schmidt, whose departure never officially was announced, let alone explained. The fact that the position was left unfilled for a half year never was addressed, as well.

State-record crappie caught: In late March, an Illinois state-record crappie was caught on Kinkaid Lake near Carbondale. The giant crappie was measured at 4 pounds, 8.8 ounces. The old crappie record was 4 pounds, 8.2 ounces and was caught at Rend Lake 39 years ago. The record-setting fisherman, Ryan Povolish, caught the fish on a jig in 6 feet of water.

Back in MAC: Akron hires former Rose has knee surgery; Knicks say 3-6 weeks for recovery Ohio, Illinois coach Groce

NEW YORK – Derrick Rose has had his latest knee surgery, and the New York Knicks said he could resume basketball activities in three weeks.

Rose had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee.

The former MVP has been plagued by knee problems in recent years and has had surgery on both knees. This procedure was performed in Chicago by Dr. Brian Cole, who collaborated with Knicks team physicians.

CLEVELAND – John Groce is headed back to the MAC. The former Illinois basketball coach who took Ohio to two NCAA tournaments and the Sweet 16 in 2012, was hired Wednesday by Akron, which has been looking to replace Keith Dambrot after his stunning departure last week for Duquesne.

Groce was dismissed after five seasons with the Fighting Illini, going 95-75.

8 CUBS AT CARDINALS (PPD., RAIN)

Almora reminds Maddon of Edmonds

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com ST. LOUIS – Only a few days shy of his 23rd birthday, Albert Almora Jr. already exhibits a take-charge approach in the outfield for the Cubs. And because the Cubs are in St. Louis, it’s fitting to note he also draws comparisons to a longtime Cardinal and onetime Cub: Jim Edmonds.

“I saw Jimmy before the game, and I said, ‘Almora reminds me Albert you,’ ” Cubs manager Almora Jr. Joe Maddon said after Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory, a game in which Almora leaped in front of the center-field wall to rob Matt Adams of a home run in the seventh inning. “[Edmonds] was at the game, so I hope he stuck around to see that play.

“Jimmy wasn’t the fastest guy. Albert’s not the fastest guy. They both ran great routes, and they had a great nose, instinct, for the ball, when to get to the wall, how to get to the wall. “[Almora] got to the wall perfectly right there, meaning he didn’t have his butt up against the wall. He was sideways, where he could actually jump. If you get your butt against the wall, you cannot jump.

“So he did everything well, and of course that’s a pretty pertinent play.”

Wednesday morning, as the after-

AP photo

Cubs center fielder Albert Almora Jr. leaps to catch a ball at the wall hit by the Cardinals’ Matt Adams in the seventh inning Tuesday in St. Louis. noon’s scheduled game against the Cardinals was being postponed because of rain, Almora talked in the Cubs’ clubhouse about playing the outfield. The makeup will be at 12:45 p.m. Thursday.

Almora was more than fine with being compared to Edmonds.

“That’s an honor for me,” he said.

“I actually grew up watching him and Andruw Jones, both guys I really mod-

game. So it’s pretty cool.”

Although Almora does not possess the greatest speed, Maddon and Cubs coaches marvel at the jumps he gets when the ball comes off the bat.

“I’ve got to make it up somehow, so I take pride in where I’m positioned and the routes that I take,” he said. “That helps me out.”

Almora seems to possess an innate “baseball IQ” that is well above average. That and his athleticism help him make leaping plays like he made Tuesday night.

“Both,” he said. “You watch the game, and you watch how guys do it.

When you jump up, it’s better to go sideways so you can use your feet to get up more. These walls aren’t low at all.

They’re pretty high. The other part is just go out there and do it on your own.

Just feel what’s right and jump.”

Notes: The Cubs will stick with their planned pitching rotation after Wednesday’s rainout. John Lackey will start Thursday’s makeup game. Brett Anderson will start Friday’s series opener at Milwaukee, followed by Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester.

• Wednesday’s lineup had Jon Jay scheduled to make his first Cubs start in center field. Jason Heyward started Opening Night in center, and Almora was the starter Tuesday.

el my game after – not the fastest guys out there, but the routes are precise and perfect. I saw Jim [Tuesday], and I kind of wanted to go say hello, but I was hitting. I didn’t want to bother anybody.

Yeah, Joe talked to me and told me that as well yesterday, and I thought it was a great comparison.

TIGERS AT WHITE SOX (PPD., RAIN)

Anderson eager for redemption after hitless start

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – It’s early, but little has gone well for the White Sox in this first week of the season. Opening Day at Guaranteed Rate Field was rained out after the opening ceremonies Monday, and then a small crowd watched Jose Quintana get tagged for three homers in a 6-3 Tigers triumph in the delayed opener Tuesday.

On Wednesday, they were rained out for the second time in three days. The game will be made up May 26, a Friday, as part of a straight doubleheader beginning at 4:10 p.m.

Shortstop Tim Anderson, still basking in the glow of having signed a $25 million contract extension and already enjoying it – he bought his mom a new car last week, and it was hard to tell who was more thrilled, mother or son – was

brought back to earth, too, going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts against the Tigers’ Justin Verlander and Bruce Rondon.

Anderson was eager to get back to the park Wednesday to put that one behind him – he left four runners on base and was standing in the on-deck circle as the potential tying run when Tyler Saladino made Tim Anderson the final out – but had to wait another day, and probably for a colder, windy one at that, with Thursday morning temperatures expected in the 30s.

“A guy like [Verlander], he’s going to be dominant, he’s been dominant for many years,’’ Anderson said. “We gotta keep fighting and keep going.”

And learning. A good fastball hitter, he struck out on elevated fastballs each

time.

“I couldn’t quite find my zone today,” he said.

The Sox view Anderson as a building block at a premium position, and his progress is a key part of their rebuild. He is a bit of a free swinger, and some would like to see him raise his on-base percentage with more walks. Manager Rick Renteria isn’t going to push that because he believes it will evolve naturally.

“Everybody talks about walks,” Renteria said. “This guy swings the bat and puts the bat on the ball pretty well, and he ends up getting pretty good results.

For the most part, experience and time will help him continue to cultivate recognizing pitches. He’s young.”

As he works at that at age 23 in the majors, “everybody has to understand [pitchers will] adapt to him,” Renteria said, “and he’s going to have to continue to work through that process to give

himself a chance to have good at-bats and swing at strikes.”

That process resumes Thursday.

“The best thing about it is I get to come back out tomorrow and compete again,” Anderson said.

Notes: Tickets for Wednesday’s postponed game are now a gift certificate, the Sox announced, and fans should exchange those game tickets and parking coupons for tickets of equal or lesser value to any future regular-season home game. All exchanges must be done at the Guaranteed Rate Field box office or by mail. Tickets for Wednesday can’t be used for entry May 26, a Friday. Fans with tickets for the 7:10 p.m. game May 26 may attend both games of the doubleheader.

• The Tigers will skip right-hander Jordan Zimmermann and start lefty Matthew Boyd against James Shields on Thursday.

WHEN: 4 p.m. April 9 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: “Reflections: Voices in Harmony” celebrates 30 years of making music, featuring the world premiere performance of “Reflections,” composed by Tom Vos, and the Winds off the Lake Woodwind Quintet. Tickets: $20 adults, $15 seniors and students. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or www.rauecenter.org.

By JAMI KUNZER

elebrating its 30th anniversary April 9, Voices in Harmony will premiere a song written in the choir’s honor as it reflects on three decades worth of performances.

The group formed in 1987 to take part in the first Crystal Lake Fourth of July Gala. The singers enjoyed the performance so much, they kept singing, and several of them haven’t stopped since the choir’s beginning.

“It’s a beautiful thing to see what has grown over the years,” member Tom Vos said.

So beautiful to Vos, in fact, that the musician and composer was inspired to write the song, “ReflecSarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com tions” specifically about the choir. Karen Reinhard of Woodstock is one of 45 members in Voices of Harmony, which formed in See VOICES page 9

1987 to perform at Crystal Lake’s first Fourth of July Gala.

• VOICES

Continued from page 8 Performing as a violinist in the Voices in Harmony orchestra after high school, Vos became a member about five years ago after moving back to Crystal Lake from California, where he composed and performed music.

The inspiration behind the song comes from both performing with the choir at sunset at Main Beach and seeing the sun rise over West Beach as part of an Easter service, Vos said. He intertwined that concept with the patriotic music often performed by Voices in Harmony, working with the lyrics of songs such as “The Star Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful.”

“I guess the best way to describe it if I had to sum it up, imagine if the lake itself could sing and reflect back the music to us,” he said.

The 45-member group will premiere the song – along with a sample of songs performed for numerous audiences throughout the years – at 4 p.m. April 9 at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St. Tickets cost $20 for adults, $15 for seniors at 815-365-9212, www.rauecenter.org or www.voices-in-harmony.org.

The concert also will feature the Winds Off The Lake Woodwind

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Quintet.

Among the songs planned is “The Best of Rooms,” the first song the choir performed as the Crystal Lake Community Choir. The group later

changed its name in 2007 to Voices in Harmony to better represent its members, who come from throughout McHenry County and beyond, said Steven Szalaj, who has been

the group’s artistic director since its beginning.

Approached by Joyce Dwyer in 1987 to form the choir by bringing together singers from area churches, Szalaj credits other founders, such as Helen Bird, and the commitment of the group’s members to its sustainability.

“I really think it’s the people in the choir have a desire to sing really good quality choral music and they like the fellowship of coming together to sing, and I think it’s something that everybody in the choir shares a passion about,” Szalaj said.

Through the years, the choir has performed at Carnegie Hall and regularly at the Raue, where it has hosted a Festival of the Voice, bringing together choirs from throughout the area and raising money for the Crystal Lake Food Pantry. The group also participates in community events for Memorial Day and other holidays.

“The word ‘community’ is very important to the community choir, even though it’s not really part of our name anymore,” Szalaj said.

“I’m really excited to present this to our community because it really is about Crystal Lake, and it is about the choir and our history here.”

A SILLY SHOW

Jon Lovitz to offer his view of ‘things going on’ in the world at CL Raue

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Give Jon Lovitz a deep subject, and he’ll tackle it – “in a silly way.”

“The whole act’s pretty silly,” he said of the stand-up comedy routine he’s been doing for the past 13 years or so.

When he first started doing stand-up – years after he’d already made a name for himself on “Saturday Night Live” from 1985 to 1990, taking on memorable, geeky characters such as Tommy Flanagan the pathological liar (“Yeah!

That’s the ticket!”), Master Thespian and Hanukkah Harry – he’d recreate characters from the television show.

“It just wasn’t working,” he said.

“If I was me and told how I really felt about things, the funnier I was, and the bigger laughs I got. It’s basically what I have to say about things going on and what’s changing in the world and how I relate to it.”

That includes politics, the fact that he didn’t quite understand at first how to react to his friend Caitlyn Jenner’s decision to become a woman, pretty much anything else that pops into his head throughout the day.

Lovitz will perform from 8 to 10 p.m.

April 8 at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake. Tickets cost $35 to $45 at www.rauecenter. org or 815-356-9212.

Crediting “Saturday Night Live” as his breakthrough, Lovitz went on to appear in numerous films – many of which fans count as their favorites – such as “The Benchwarmers,” “Big,” “A League of Their Own,” “The Wedding Singer,” “The Brave Little Toaster,” “Casino Jack” and “Matilda.”

(Friends with Adam Sandler, who asked him as a favor to be in “The Wedding Singer” at a time when Sandler had yet to break out, he’ll next make a cameo in Sandler’s “Sandy Wexler,” coming to Netflix.)

Lovitz also is known for television credits, and is surprised by fans’ connections to his short stints on shows, such as “Friends” (he’s known Lisa Kudrow since childhood), “The Simpsons,” “Newsradio,” “Just Shoot Me” and “The Critic.”

He’s thankful for the roles he’s been

JON LOVITZ WHEN: 8 to 10 p.m. April 8 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Tickets: $35-$45. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or https:// rauecenter.ticketforce.com. given, but it’s the standup that has won his heart over.

“It’s steady,” he said. “You can do it as much as you want, and it’s just going directly to your fans that want to see you.

That’s a whole other career outside of movies and TV, and it’s something you can do the rest of your life. I get to write and perform my own material and just get to keep doing it until I want to stop, which I don’t want to.”

Along with touring, he regularly performs in Las Vegas with Dana Carvey in “Reunited.” The two already have put on four of 10 planned monthly shows.

It’s a life he’s loving as he greets diverse fans ranging in age from those in their 20s – first discovering him in a favorite childhood movie, 2006’s “The Benchwarmers” – to those in their 40s and beyond, having watched him on “Saturday Night Live.”

Some still ask him to recreate characters, especially the pathological liar, but not as many, he said. It’s a character Donald Trump brought up on the campaign trail as he compared Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook to Lovitz’ liar, even impersonating Lovitz as Tommy Flanagan.

“I don’t care who it is, if someone’s running for president of the United States and they imitate you, it’s shocking,” said Lovitz, who tweeted after the shoutout he was “blown away” by it, along with a video of him chuckling as Trump.

For Lovitz, no topic is off limits when it comes to the stage. In fact, tell him, or any comedian for that matter, not to talk about something and you can bet it’ll end up in their routine, he said. It’s a lesson he learned long ago, remembering when he and his twin sister were told by their father, “I don’t want you kids cussing anymore.”

His sister, who wasn’t even the target of the reprimand, responded, “You mean, like ----?”

“Of course, we all were dying laughing, including my father,” he said.

Lovitz talks, jokes, laughs about stuff – serious stuff, such as his initial reaction to Jenner on the golf course where he asked her “Are we still friends?” – to better understand it.

“As you get older, things keep changing,” he said. “At some point, you say, ‘I don’t understand it,’ because you didn’t grow up with that reference. If anybody’s honest, it happens to everybody. …

“It’s better to talk about it so you understand it,” he said.

As for his stand-up job, he said he’s still learning as he goes, but it simply comes down to wanting to make people laugh.

“I’m not trying to make any statement,” he said.

“I make fun of myself. I make fun of everybody. That’s just who I am.”

Typical workday is anything but in exuberant ‘9 to 5’ REVIEWS Jeff Cook For people of a certain age, the film “9 to 5” and its ubiquitous theme song instantly are recognizable. The story of three office workers’ revenge on their misogynistic employer stars Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman, and was a huge hit when it was released in 1980, but its theme of disparity between men and women in the workplace feels timely even today.

Although its setting is 1979, the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company’s production of “9 to 5,” a 2009 Broadway hit with music and lyrics

by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, draws a spotlight on the issue while never losing its sense of fun.

Franklin Hart Jr. (Kevin Pollack) is the worst boss on the planet, a “sexist egotistical lying hypocritical bigot” who shamelessly chases, humiliates and passes over for promotion his female employees, particularly Violet Newstead (Alison Hage), Doralee Rhodes (Maggie McCord) and new employee Judy Bernly (Colleen Galvicius). When the three women inadvertently kidnap their employer, they set in motion a series of events

“9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL” WHEN: Through April 9 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: Presented by Woodstock Musical Theatre Company. Schedule: 8 p.m. April 7-8 & 14-15; 2 p.m. April 8 and 3 p.m. April 9.

Tickets: $24 adults, $21 students and seniors.

Tickets and information: 815-338-5300 or www.woodstockoperahouse.com. that culminate in nothing less than their own mini-revolution, all accompanied by enthusiastic singing and dancing from the cast of 20 under the musical direction of Geoffrey King and the fancy footwork of choreographer/set designer/actor Billy Seger.

Seger’s set design, enhanced by costumer Kathy Bruhnke and wig designers Aaron Gomez and Virginia Zymonas, perfectly capture the area with a lot of fun little touches for the audience to spot during the performance. Lighting designer Dan Frank and sound designer Timothy R. Curtis also add much to the production. The team has utilized every inch of the space of the Woodstock Opera House with maximum efficiency, not always easy to do with large shows in the Opera House’s intimate setting.

The five-piece orchestra, led by pianist Gloria Peetz, delivers knockout performances without ever over-

powering the production. Keep an eye on percussionist Dave Byers and keyboardist Kristin Lundine Miller, who deliver virtuoso performances of their own from the pit.

On stage, Pollack, Hage, McCord and Galvicius clearly are having a blast with the material and give strong performances that will have the audience rooting for our heroines and hating the villain. Pollack gleefully chews the scenery portraying Hart as a man completely devoid of meritorious attributes, but he delivers through an absolutely committed performance and dynamic vocal chops. McCord is a standout, with a dead-on portrayal of the sweet but strong Doralee Ms. Parton herself would be proud of. The entire cast, however, should be commended on their efforts. They all are working at the top of their game in this production.

The show is technically challenging for a number of reasons (no spoilers here), and kudos to director Regina Belt-Daniels – in her long-awaited return to directing for WMTC – for being able to make sense of it all and delivering a fun, exuberant show that delivers plenty of bang for the buck and makes this office anything

but a typical 9-to-5 experience.

Caine, Arkin, Freeman talk about longevity, ‘Going in Style’

By ED SYMKUS

More Content Now The movie is “Going in Style,” an updated “reimagining” of the 1979 dramatic comedy in which three senior citizens – George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg – who are having money problems decide to pull off a bank heist.

The event was a get-together at a New York hotel where the three principle actors in the new, less dramatic, much goofier version – Michael Caine, Alan Arkin and Morgan Freeman – sat in front of a small group of journalists, listening to questions they were supposed to answer, but having more fun chatting with each other, often all talking at once.

There was no way to make any normal kind of story out of the situation, as they weren’t going to stop having a good time, and no one was going to interrupt them. But surprisingly, they did pay some attention to us, especially when any sort of serious question came up. Here’s one response from each of them.

Sir Michael Caine, 84, on how, being so successful in his career, he

Alan Arkin, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine star in “Going in Style.”

MOVIES

“GOING IN STYLE” STARRING: Joey King, Morgan Freeman, Ann-Margret PLOT: Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, three lifelong pals risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.

RATED: PG-13 for drug content, language and some suggestive material RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes manages to tap into the mindset of a character who’s so down on his luck: “We have very good memories.

If (life is) tough enough, you never forget it. I used to do small parts. I’d be the policeman who comes in at the end of the movie and takes the crook away. I did that for 12 pounds a day, and two days of work on the movie. I did hundreds of those. If you look me up on your iPad, it looks like I did 2 million movies. But I only did one day on each of them.”

Morgan Freeman, 79, on what kept him in the game during his early, tough days in the acting business: “I can think of two or three things

that encourage you to keep you working. One is that sometimes, when it was almost at the very limits of your endurance, my experience was that friends would say, ‘No, you can’t quit.’ Another was the total embarrassment of driving a cab in New York and then having somebody I know get in it. But I didn’t do it. I was on the very verge of going to the taxi and limousine service to get my chauffeur’s license, when I got a job from Paul Newman (“Harry & Son,” in 1984). It’s like you’ve just gotta keep going.”

Alan Arkin, 83, on the film’s themes of aging and mortality: “For the past 6 or 7 years, I’d open

a script and say, ‘OK what page do I die on?’ And then I’d say, ‘Oh, I made it up to page 64. Not bad!’ People ask me if that’s depressing, and I say, ‘No, it’s good practice!’ It’s a weird thing.

You hit a certain age, and all of a sudden you get talked about as if you’re not a human being. It’s like another version of prejudice. Suddenly you get talked about as if you’re another species, in a way. I don’t feel any different than when I was 17. Well, I feel a little bit slower than I was then.

But aside from that, I’m a person.

You don’t ask a 36-year-old what does it feel like to be 36. But when you hit 70, it’s what does it feel like to be 70.

That’s the strange part.”

PRAYER to the BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known to Fail)

Charles Lamb, an English essayist, poet and antiquarian who died in 1834, said, “I arrive very late at work in the morning, but I make up for it by leaving very early in the afternoon.”

He must have been self-employed.

Otherwise, he would surely have been following Robert Frost’s observation that “by working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be boss and work 12 hours a day.”

In today’s deal, East has to work hard to defeat South’s three-spade contract. Can he succeed?

It was reasonable for South to invite game with his three-spade rebid. But North, although he had 15 points, discounted the heart queen and passed.

West should lead the heart two, low from length, in partner’s unsupported suit. East wins with the eight and cashes the heart king. But what does he do next?

He might continue with the ace and his other club. That would work well if South immediately tried the spade finesse, because East would receive a club ruff. But if declarer cautiously cashed the spade ace and led the spade queen, he would get home.

Here, it is stronger defense for East to play a third heart. If South ruffs on the board and takes a trump finesse, West can win with his king and lead a club to East’s ace. Then a fourth heart promotes West’s spade 10 as the setting trick.

If South guesses the distribution, he can still make the contract with a trump endplay on West, but it is complicated, and I have run out of space!

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel fruitful vine,splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request).

There are none which can withstand your power.

O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (three times) Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you.
