How to be the alpha male in your house – as told by wolves Back in the day, there were some husbands who thought that Ralph Kramden from “The Honeymooners” was pretty much the poster man for the alpha male in a marriage.

He was big and loud. He took charge and trudged on obliviously down the path of stupidity. He was always right and unconvincingly issued warnings, such as “One of these days” and “To the moon.”

Ralph Kramden was clearly the driver of the bus, the captain of the ship, the king of the castle, the alpha of his marriage. And back then, that seemed to be the common understanding of what alpha meant: the leader, the dominant one, the first one at the table.

Many have looked to the animal kingdom for a better understanding of the alpha syndrome.

However, recently studies have shown that we need to make a bit of an adjustment in our perspective of the alpha persona from the typical threatening, snarling, red-eyed aggressor that we have always pictured in our minds.

Author and ecologist Carl Safina took a close look at one species of animals, the wolf, and, in particular, the packs of grey wolves living in Yellowstone National Park.

What he discovered might have some of us husbands and fathers shaking in our royal alpha slippers.

It has been observed that the wolf pack structure and social dynamics are very similar to those of humans. Now, it’s not like we men wag our tails and howl at the moon, but we do enjoy comfortable dens and often leave our scent.

But back to the wolf alpha male. Evidently his stereotype is quite the opposite of wolf reality.

Rather than domination and aggressiveness, the alpha male leads by confidence and poise. He’s like Neil Armstrong in the cockpit of Apollo 11. He knows who he is and where he’s going. It’s this quiet self-assurance that, rather than intimidate the pack, gives it a feeling of security and a spirit of calmness.

And that brings us to some things we didn’t know about the leader of the pack. Although he spearheads the hunt for food, it’s not unusual

‘‘

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava for him to let the rest of the pack eat before he does. He mates for life, is rarely aggressive and often shows deep affection for his family. In fact, he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect them and joins in an emotional mourning upon the death of a member of the pack.

One alpha wolf was observed often play fighting with the pups of the pack. He’d let the little ones win and seemed to enjoy playing the role of the biggest loser. When a sickly pup was being ignored by the others, this male would seek him out and lay with him. Although he was clearly the strongest of the pack, this alpha male was also one of the kindest and compassionate.

Ironically, it seems that the alpha wolf in the wild has become the role model for the alpha man in his home. Rather than by fangs and snarls, alpha men lead by modest confidence, by affection and devotion, by respect and responsibility.

So, although the exploits of Ralph Kramden may be entertaining, his example is quite unworthy of imitation. In fact, the restraint and aplomb of the alpha female in his life, his wife, Alice, should cause any of us husbands to reconsider ever becoming an Alpha Ralph.

There are many lessons animals have taught us. Our aircraft mimic a bird’s anatomy. Our submarines imitate jellyfish propulsion. Our water turbines copy a whale’s flippers. And now there’s one more lesson, perhaps the most surprising of all: A wolf teaches us how to be a real man.

OK alpha males, time to wolf up.

McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks says life was threatened

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – County law enforcement is looking into whether several comments made on a local political blog amount to death threats against McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, he said Friday.

Franks said that he and his family are being protected by McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies while the office and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office investigate whether two comments on a March 23 post on the McHenry County Blog constitute a threat.

Calling the time since “the most difficult thing I have lived through in all of my time in public life,” Franks, D-Marengo, asked blog publisher Cal Skinner to moderate reader comments, and fully cooperate in identifying the two readers who posted the alleged threats.

“Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill to protect me and my family from people who would put a price on our heads. Whatever we disagree about, I am certain that we agree violence, and the threat thereof, has no place in our political discourse,” Franks said in a statement.

There is no love lost between Franks and Skinner, a former Republican state representative from Lakewood.

Skinner long has been a vocal critic of Franks, both during his time representing the 63rd District in the Illinois House to his November election as the first popularly elected County Board chairman – Franks, a Democrat, is chairman of a County Board in which all members but one are Republican.

Skinner laughed Friday afternoon when he was told of the investigation.

“I’m happy he’s reading my blog,” Skinner said.

The March 23 post reprinted a statement made during the public comment portion of the County Board meeting two days before.

The statement, read on behalf of former board member Diane Evertsen, made a political allegory regarding dealing with weasels in a chicken coop, namely that 23 chickens – the 23 Republican members of the board – shouldn’t have a problem resolving “their problem with two weasels.”

Franks said two of the comments on Skinner’s blog post amount to calls for his assassination. A commenter on Skinner’s blog who goes by the name

McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks walks down the hallway Nov. 11, 2016, while working at Franks Gerkin McKenna Law offices in Marengo.

“Politics is [a] full-contact sport, and I have never engaged in it at anything less than full speed. I have, however, always assumed that everyone’s expressed beliefs, even when they strenuously opposed mine, represented their view of the best way to make our community a better place.”

Jack Franks

McHenry County Board chairman “LTResident,” suggested they should “schoot ‘em [sic].” The second, from commenter “Klaatu Barada Nikto,” said he “know[s] a fellow who specializes in terminating weasels of all kinds,” and quoted prices of $5,000 apiece, or $10,000

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Jack Franks has proposed cutting the county’s budget by 10 percent. “if you need it to look like an accident.”

After being notified of the threats, McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally coordinated with McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim to provide Franks and his family pro-

tection, and started an investigation, Franks said. Kenneally could not confirm or deny that an investigation was ongoing.

McHenry Co. judge gives Florida man 32 years in prison for molesting 3 girls

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – More than 20 years after a Florida man sexually abused and assaulted three young girls in McHenry County, a judge sentenced him to 32 years in prison.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Robert Q. Maron on Friday for crimes he admitted to committing in the late 1990s. Maron pleaded guilty in February to two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, Class X felonies, and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony.

The 48-year-old will serve 14 years in prison on each of the Class X felonies and four years on the Class 2 felony. All three sentences will be served consecutively to one another.

Maron must serve 85 percent of the sentence on the Class X felony charges and 50 percent on the Class 2 felony, according to state law. He also will receive credit for time spent in McHenry County Jail since his August 2013 arrest.

Maron was first charged with two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse stemming from allegations dating back to the late 1990s where he had sexual contact with two female children in Cary who were younger than 13 years old. Maron was arrested in Florida in 2013, where he was living at the time, and sent to Illinois, where the crimes occurred.

Prosecutors filed an additional charge of predatory criminal sexual assault in September 2016 stemming from an April 1996 incident.

Prather said during the sentencing hearing that while she believed Maron accepted responsibility for his actions

and was remorseful, those factors did not outweigh the seriousness of the crimes.

“He’s most definitely a predator,” she said.

Prosecutors argued Robert Q. that Maron should be senMaron tenced to 60 years in prison for “stealing the innocence of three little girls.”

“The damage he’s done just doesn’t go away,” Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese said. “We’re here 20 years later and you can see the pain.”

Freese said she given the “slightest opportunity,” believed Maron would commit another sex crime.

Two adult victims took the stand and testified about the events that took place in 1996, when they were just 8 and 9 years old. The third victim did not testify in court.

One victim said because she was so young at the time of the abuse, it took her time to fully understand what had happened to her. She also said she worried about telling people because she had been threatened by Maron and was concerned she might lose the support of her family.

More than 20 years later she said being able to trust people has not been easy and while she’ll likely struggle with this for the rest of her life, she was quick to say these events would not dictate who she is.

Another victim said she felt guilty living with the secret for nearly 20 years. She said she told her mother in 2013 after she found out that someone had come forward and accused Maron of abusing them.

These events continue to terrorize her and affect her relationships with

her friends and loved ones, she said.

“A monster is with me every day and terrorizes me every night. That monster’s name is Robert Maron,” she said.

During the investigation, Maron was interviewed by police officers in 2013 and admitted to other incidents of abuse when he was living in Rock Falls and when he was 16 years old.

Charges were not filed in either incident.

While in McHenry County Jail custody, Maron also pleaded guilty in Cook County on April 14, 2014, to one count of criminal sexual assault, a Class 1 felony, involving another young girl.

Maron’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, said while he was not going to make excuses for his client, he said Maron had a difficult childhood.

Mourelatos said Maron was sexually and physically abused by his stepfather who was sent to prison when Maron was 11 years old.

He also said Maron had a substance abuse problem that he didn’t deal with until 2007. Maron was married twice and has children from both marriages, Mourelatos said.

“My client has been through a lot in his life,” he said.

Mourelatos also stressed that other than the 2014 conviction, Maron has no past criminal history.

Maron, when given the opportunity to speak, apologized for what he had done and admitted he couldn’t change his past actions. He said he was “in a bad way at the time,” abusing drugs and trying to work through his own problems.

“I beg for forgiveness not only from these ladies but from their families. I am truly sorry,” he said, tearful.

tree, she said.

No one was injured in the crash, and no tickets were issued, Knop said.

The Richmond Township Fire Protection District could not immediately be reached for more information.

Scott Nieman said the department responded about 8:30 p.m. to the southbound lanes of Route 47 near McDonald’s.

A pedestrian who was crossing the road was hit by a vehicle, he said.

The pedestrian was sent to Centegra Hospital – Huntley with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, Nieman said. He could not provide more information on the person.

Woodstock police could not immediately be reached for more information.

D-155 announces significant fee increases starting next year

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Parents in High School District 155 will have to pay more – in some cases, much more – for their children to register and participate in activities.

In a Thursday email to parents, the district announced a three-year plan to not only increase registration fees by almost 50 percent, but for the first time impose fees on students wishing to participate in athletics.

While the school board approved the schedule in March, the email from district Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Jeremy Davis came two days after the consolidated election. Voters elected an incumbent and a three-member slate backed by the district’s teachers union over a

slate promising to cut the budget and taxes.

The news release about the increase likewise was posted on the district’s website the Thursday after the election.

“Recently, district administration completed an examination of all student fees. The student fee structure also was compared to surrounding districts in the area. The board, using its public committee forums, met about the student fee structure and were mindful of how the fee increases would affect our families,” Davis wrote in the email.

The registration fee will increase from $155 to $215 for the next two school years, and $230 for the 2019-20 school year. If the student is registered after the school year starts, the amount increases to $225 for the first two years and $255 for the third.

District 155, which up to this point did not charge a fee to participate in sports, will charge $50 a sport next year, $75 a sport in 2019, and $100 a sport in 2020. Students only will have to pay for two sports, and the schedule caps the maximum that families with multiple athletes will have to pay at $200, $300 and $400, respectively.

Fees for driver’s education and student parking will remain at $100 for the next two school years, but could be increased for the 2020 year at an amount to be determined, according to the schedule sent to parents.

Families that qualify and apply for fee waivers will not have to pay registration or athletic fees.

The Crystal Lake-based district includes Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge high schools.

browland@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – The village’s insurance carrier has hired two lawyers to represent the village and its police chief in a civil lawsuit filed after the sole conviction in a high-profile Johnsburg homicide case fell apart.

Mario Casciaro, 33, sued last month seeking money damages from the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, members of the Johnsburg Police Department and the village of Johnsburg. He claims authorities violated his rights when they investigated and later prosecuted him for the killing of Johnsburg teen Brian Carrick.

A jury convicted Casciaro in 2013 and a judge sentenced him to 26 years in prison. He spent 22 months in Menard Correctional Facility before the 2nd District Appellate Court overturned the conviction. Casciaro was released from prison in September 2015.

Johnsburg Village President Edwin Hettermann said the matter was turned over to the village’s insurance carrier at the time. He said any legal costs would be paid for the by the insurance company, not the village’s general fund. Hettermann said he didn’t know the name of the insurance company and directed questions to Village Administrator Claudett Peters. Peters didn’t return two phone messages at Village Hall on Friday.

Casciaro was released from Menard Correctional Center in September 2015 after Illinois’ 2nd District Appellate Court overturned his conviction, saying prosecutors failed to prove Casciaro’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Grandfield of Berwyn-based Del Galdo Law Group LLC filed appearances Thursday on behalf of the village and Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen. Zimmer, the lead attorney, couldn’t be reached for comment Friday.

The 2nd District Appellate Court overturned Casciaro’s conviction because it said evidence was so lacking and improbable that the state failed to prove Casciaro was guilty.

In the lawsuit, Casciaro claims police deliberately withheld evidence related to another suspect that could have helped Casciaro. He also claims that Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen diverted the investigation because he was friends with the father of another suspect.

Carrick was last seen Dec 20, 2002, at the grocery store where he worked. The store was owned by Casciaro’s parents.

• FRANKS

Continued from page A3 And although Prim could not comment on what kind of protective measures Franks was receiving, he said it does not include additional manpower, overtime or reallocation of resources.

Evertsen said Friday that the two weasels in the chicken coop she was referring to were Franks and County Administrator Peter Austin, and said the allegory was about the County Board asserting more control.

She cited Franks’ decision to hire an executive assistant and communications director – while he has the legal right to do so and has maintained that they are needed, some County Board members have criticized the hirings as patronage hires on Franks’ part.

She said that she had absolutely no intention of hinting that anyone should come to harm.

“The County Board is in charge of making sure that both Jack and the administrator know what their jobs are, and hold them to doing their jobs and

not doing end runs around the County Board’s authority,” Evertsen said.

Her comments were read to the County Board last month by someone else, because she had a scheduling conflict on account of her successful run for the McHenry County College Board.

Skinner said Franks is making himself look paranoid over his reaction to the posting.

“It seems to me that Jack Franks is a bit too sensitive,” Skinner said.

Franks disagreed. Franks, who is Jewish, said comparing people to nuisance animals is how some very dark moments in human history got started.

“Politics is [a] full-contact sport, and I have never engaged in it at anything less than full speed. I have, however, always assumed that everyone’s expressed beliefs, even when they strenuously opposed mine, represented their view of the best way to make our community a better place.

After seeing calls for my assassination on the McHenry County Blog, I’m sad that I can no longer honestly say that,” Franks said.

MARENGO – Defeated 1st Ward alderman candidate Raymond Knake said he will seek a recount after Marengo’s official election results come in April 18.

Knake faced incumbent Nicole DeBoer for the seat and lost by two votes.

DeBoer came out on top with 161 votes to Knake’s 159. Knake said a recount is in order because the vote was so close.

“I think anyone who lost on two votes would do a recount,” he said. “It could be a machine error. … If it stays the same, it stays the same.”

Shortly after the election results came in, some Marengo residents said on social media they received incorrect ballots and voted for alderman whose wards they don’t live in. Knake said he had heard from these residents himself as well.

“I am not sure who is to blame,” Knake said. “I just want it to be fair.

Even if I don’t come out on top, it should be fair.”

Successor Nicole DeBoer said she trusted the process.

“I trust the McHenry County clerk will make sure the election was recorded fairly and according to the law,” she said.

Knake must wait until official re-

sults come in April 18 and then he will have five days to file an official request for a recount in writing with the clerk’s office.

In regard to mixed Raymond up ballots, McHenry Knake County Clerk Mary McClellan said that in every election there is a chance for human error, but voters always have the right to voice their concerns if they notice something isn’t right on their ballots.

Nicole “We will douDeBoer ble-check and have the judges issue the right ballot,” she said.

“I believe this was exacerbated this election because there were 683 ballot styles filed because of all of the different divisions in each city and municipalities. It’s very complicated.”

Marengo redrew its wards in 2014.

Some speculated that could have been the cause of potentially mixed-up ballots, but McClellan said the county worked specifically with Marengo to ensure that everyone was on the same page come election time.

“There is always room for error,” she said. “But we went above and beyond to make sure this didn’t happen.”

HHGregg planning to close all stores NORTHWEST HERALD

HHGregg plans to close all of its stores after failing to find a buyer.

The company will begin liquidating its assets Saturday and all of its 220 stores will close by the end of May. The Crystal Lake store is located at 4483 Route 14, next to Home Depot.

The store survived an earlier set of store closings in March.

“Since filing for financial protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy code on March 6, 2017, we have continued to fight for the future

of our company. While we had discussions with more than 50 private equity firms, strategic buyers and other investors, unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our plan to secure a viable buyer of the business on a going-concern basis within the expedited timeline set by our creditors. We have, however, received and accepted a bid for liquidation of our assets. This process will begin Saturday, April 8, 2017,” said Bob Riesbeck, president and chief executive officer for hhgregg, in a news release.

Wauconda police charge 5 in connection with cocaine sales

LOCAL BRIEF Algonquin named Tree City USA for 21st consecutive year

The Arbor Day Foundation announced Algonquin is again named a Tree City USA community for its commitment to effective forest management. This is the 21st year that the village has received this designation, a news release stated.

“Tree City USA communities see the impact an urban forest has in a community first hand,” Arbor Day Foundation President Dan Lambe said in a news release. “Additionally, recognition brings residents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.

“Trees provide many aesthetic, health and environmental benefits – all which contribute to the quality of life in Algonquin,” Village President John Schmitt said in a news release. “This honor recognizes our accomplishments as responsible stewards of the environment.”

NORTHWEST HERALD WAUCONDA – Six men were arrested or detained Thursday in connection with cocaine sales at a Wauconda restaurant and nightclub, according to a news release from Wauconda police.

The charges came after a sixmonth investigation into complaints of narcotics sales from employees and patrons of Las Adelitas, 461 W. Liberty St., Wauconda, police said.

Undercover officers conducted numerous narcotics purchases in the establishment and in the parking lot, police said.

On Thursday, officers executed a search warrant at the restaurant, police said. Overall, 145 grams of cocaine and 46 grams of marijuana were seized in the investigation, police said.

Elias Aguilar, 45, Wauconda; Jose J. Navarro-Quiroz, 32, Wauconda; Miguel Guzman-Carrera, 28, Round Lake Beach; Alfonso Mora, 33, Wauconda; and Erick E. Rojas-Tafolla, 27, Round Lake Park, face multiple drug charges, police said.

FAIRDALE

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com

• Saturday, April 8, 2017

KIRKLAND – Shannon Lee, a 15year resident of Fairdale, said her home experienced minor damage during the 2015 EF4 tornado that caused nearly $8 million in damage, demolished dozens of homes and claimed the lives of 67year old Geraldine Schultz and 69-year old Jacqueline Klosa.

But she said with the tragedy her neighbors experienced came the blessing of gaining close-knit relationships with members of her community as they all sought to rebuild their lives after the deadly storm.

Kirkland Village President Les Bellah, Lee’s father, said that in the two years since the tornado, people’s attitudes in the Franklin Township community have done nothing put positively improve.

“The people in Fairdale are just 100 percent positive because they have a second chance at a new town,” Bellah said. “It’s absolutely remarkable to see what’s happened over the past two years and how teardrops have turned into smiles. People understand what happened and what they need to do to stay positive and they’re really taking care of business.”

In response to the tornado’s devastating toll on Fairdale, more than $1 million was raised in donations and grants for relief efforts by the DeKalb County Long-Term Recovery Corp., a voluntary nonprofit organization that began weeks after the tornado struck.

Bellah said that the community’s infrastructure, including the septic system, streets and sidewalk repair, has been pretty well taken care of.

“Most of the septic systems were close to failing before and with county and state rulings, new systems couldn’t be built without county rezoning,” Bellah said. “There was also no internet

“It’s absolutely remarkable to see what’s happened over the past two years and how teardrops have turned into smiles. People understand what happened and what they need to do to stay positive and they’re really taking care of business.”

“Fairdale was pretty much going to die on the vine,” he said. “But a lot of bad things were purged and we were able to build on smaller lots.”

Lee added that there still are some buildings that need to be torn down, but it’s great to see kids playing in parks again and positive morale.

Les Bellah, Kirkland village president “The flowers are blooming and the trees are budding,” Lee said. “Evsystem there, which is pretty essential projects the community is working on erything that’s been done for us has in the scope of things.” is a shelter house and that the tornado been wonderful and we’re a great little neighborhood out here.”

Bellah added that one of the new was able to aid in new development.

LINDSAY K. FLOOD

Born: September 9, 1948; in Ithaca, NY Died: March 30, 2017; in Barrington, IL Lindsay K. Flood of Lakemoor, IL, passed away Thursday, March 30, 2017, at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, IL. Lindsay was born September 9, 1948, in Ithaca, NY. She was the daughter of the late Robert S. and Mary C. Coleman of Trumansburg, NY. She was a longtime resident of Trumansburg prior to moving to Illinois in 1999.

She was a member of Charles O. Dickerson High School’s graduating class of 1966. Lindsay was a loving and dedicated mother, devoted wife, and grandmother.

Lindsay had worked as a loan officer at the Trumansburg branch of the Tompkins County Trust Company for almost two decades before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Lindsay is survived by her husband of 49 years, Robert W. Flood; and her 4 sons, Christopher (Michelle) of Rochester, Jeffrey of Cicero, Steven (JoAnn) of Brooklyn, and Robert M. (Janette) of Cicero. Lindsay has 7

Gerald Dean (Jerry) Grimmonpre was born in Marshalltown, IA, on Jan. 11, 1935, and passed away on Saturday, April 1, 2017, at Franklin Woods Hospital, Johnson City, TN, following a short illness.

Jerry began his flying career with the U.S. Air Force, where he spent 9 years flying many aircraft, including his favorite the Super Saber F-100, from which he retired as captain.

After the Air Force he took his skills to United Airlines. He was highly regarded throughout United Airlines for both his skill as a pilot as well as his wit. He entertained passengers and crew on many flights over 32 years. During his long career with United Airlines and the U.S. Air Force, he flew in excess of 30,000 hours on almost all of

United’s aircraft as well as the F-84, F-86 and F-100 fighters. He retired as captain on the Pacific route on the 747-400. Jerry could fix anything, do anything and knew everything!

He loved the challenge of planning projects and was known to enjoy the planning much more than the execution phase. In his 30s Jerry went back to college (DePaul University Chicago) where he earned a BS in business administration.

Jerry was a member of the United Flying Octogenarians, as well as a lifetime member of EAA since 1990 and was an active member of the EAA chapter 1355 in Greeneville, TN. Following retirement, Jerry continued flying his own RV-4 out of The Landings Airport in Huntley, IL. In 2012 he relocated from Del Webb Sun City, Huntley, IL to Hensley Airpark in Chuckey, TN where he and Anne built their dream home with an attached hangar. He loved living in TN and each day he could be found working on projects in his hangar workshop and preparing for the next flight. Jerry was a graduate of Marshalltown HS class of ’53 and had remained friends with a number of his classmates whom he enjoyed meeting at each reunion.

Surviving to honor Jerry’s memory are his loving wife, Anne (Monahan-Ricke); his three loving children from his previous marriage to Sharon (Hall ) Grimmonpre, son, Mark (Fort Walton Beach, FL), daughter, Lisa Palmer (Stuart) Hillsboro Beach, FL, and son, Gary (Kathryn) Huntley, IL. He is also survived by his stepdaughter, Stephanie (Jason) Graham, Fredericksburg, VA; seven grandchildren, Kendall and Kyle Grimmonpre, Andrew and Melissa

Moise, Jennifer Houser, Rebecca Brown and Holly Grimmonpre; as well as three great-grandchildren, John Ryan Brown, Emma Houser and Haven Grimmonpre; and two step-grandchildren, Evelyn and Mirabel Graham.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Tony (Antony) and Emma (Good) Grimmonpre; and five sisters, Adelia Crippen, Esther Brooks, Arlene Miller, Marcella Bresler-Curren and Judy Grimmonpré.

The family would like to thank Franklin Woods Hospital in Johnson City, TN, Dr. Phil Jones and all the staff on PCU 3rd floor for their compassionate care during Jerry’s Hospital stay.

Arrangements will be carried out by Jeffers Funeral Home, Greenville, TN. At his request, no memorial service is planned.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Chelsea Brown, a dancer and actress who brightened “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” and later found success performing in Australia, has died.

Her death Wednesday in Chicago was confirmed by George Schlatter, an executive producer of the zany NBC comedy-sketch series. Her age was reported as 69.

During 1968-69 Brown was a member of the “Laugh-In” troupe whose

ranks through six seasons also included Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin.

After that she appeared on episodic dramas and comedies, before relocating to Australia where she performed on TV and in films.

In recent years she returned to the U.S. As a “Laugh-In” regular, she was one of few African-American performers on TV, but Schlatter said that wasn’t why he hired her.

“She was a great dancer and she was adorable,” he said.

British actor Tim Pigott-Smith poses March 2 at Buckingham Palace in London after receiving his OBE award.

Pigott-Smith has died at the age of 70, his agent John Grant said Friday.

‘Jewel in the Crown’ actor Tim Pigott-Smith, 70, dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – Tim Pigott-Smith, a versatile British actor who recently played Prince Charles on stage and screen, has died at the age of 70.

The actor’s agent, John Grant, said Pigott-Smith died Friday. Grant called him “one of the great actors of his generation ... a gentleman and a true friend.”

Pigott-Smith already was a veteran of stage and screen when he came to international attention as a sadistic police officer in British-controlled India in the 1980s miniseries “The Jewel in the Crown.”

The show became a global sensation, and Pigott-Smith said it “changed my life.”

Born in Rugby, central England in 1946, Pigott-Smith trained at the Bris-

tol Old Vic theater school and built up a diverse career on stage, television and film. He became a regular on British TV screens in everything from “Doctor Who” to “Downton Abbey,” and had roles in movies including “V for Vendetta,” “Gangs Of New York” and the James Bond thriller “Quantum Of Solace.”

He is due to appear onscreen with Judi Dench in Stephen Frears’ historical drama “Victoria and Abdul,” due for release in Britain in September.

He recently won Olivier and Tony award nominations for the London and New York runs of the play “King Charles III,” which imagines disastrous events after the current heir to the British throne becomes king. He reprised the role for a TV adaptation.

Pigott-Smith is survived by his wife Pamela Miles and their son Tom.

STATE Ex-U of I student gets 10 years for newborn’s death The ASSOCIATED PRESS URBANA – A former University of Illinois student was sentenced Friday to a decade in prison after she was accused of suffocating her newborn son when she gave birth in a residence hall bathroom last year.

Lindsay Johnson, 21, of Monee had been charged with first-degree murder after the March 2016 death of her baby. She pleaded guilty Friday to felony endangering the life or health of a child as part of a plea deal. She also was sentenced to one-year mandatory supervised release and could be out of prison in five years with good behavior.

Champaign County State’ Attorney Julia Rietz said prosecutors made the deal because of concerns over proving intent to a jury at trial and risking acquittal. Johnson faced up to 75 years in prison had she gone to trial.

“It’s a prison sentence,” Rietz said.

“It holds her responsible for the death of this child, but it acknowledges

what I think are clearly some mental health issues that she is absolutely go-

ing to need to address in the future.”

Johnson’s defense team said she

News from across the state

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is using new technology to count visitors to Millennium Park and its numbers show 12.9 million visited the lakefront park in the second half of last year.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office on Thursday said that the city now measures Millennium Park attendance using a third-party vendor that has passive electronic sensors. The city ran a pilot project with the technology, measuring visitors to the area of the park around the Cloud Gate sculpture, also known as “The Bean,” and three main entrances from June 15 through Dec. 31. That count estimated 12.9 million people over the six months. The area counted covers about half of the 24.5-acre park.

The city said previous estimates found 5 million annual visitors to the park.

John Kaboff says he was removed from his flight on Tuesday from Reagan National Airport to Chicago O’Hare International Airport after the crew said his cello touched the floor and couldn’t be strapped into the extra seat he brought for it. He says he asked for a seatbelt extension to better cradle the $100,000 cello, but was denied.

The 46-year-old Kaboff of Vienna, Virginia, said ground personnel acknowledged the error and booked him on the next American Airlines flight to Chicago.

The reports say American Airlines apologized to Kaboff for “the inconvenience” that he experienced.

Rauner: Stopping state-worker paychecks would hurt families

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration contends Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s attempt to stop state employee paychecks amid the budget crisis is ill-timed and ill-conceived.

The Republican governor filed an appellate-court brief Friday arguing that Democrat Madigan should have acted sooner. And it said she doesn’t consider family hardships if paychecks stop.

Madigan said workers shouldn’t be paid without an appropriation. There’s been no budget since July 2015. That’s when a circuit judge ruled workers should be paid anyway.

Rauner and legislative Democrats continue to bicker.

Rauner’s brief said Madigan is late.

A high court ruling Madigan cites was decided in March 2016.

But Madigan spokeswoman Maura Possley said the case didn’t close until June. By then, a temporary budget was

Almighty Imperial Gangsters Nation member gets 25 years in prison

MIAMI – A member of the Chicago-based Almighty Imperial Gangsters Nation has been sentenced by a Florida federal judge to 25 years in prison in a violent racketeering case.

The Justice Department said in a news release Friday that Miguel “Fuzzy” Pedraza became the 16th member of the gang sent to prison in the case. When he pleaded guilty earlier to racketeering conspiracy, Pedraza admitted participating in killings, drug dealing and other crimes. He had been a member of the gang since 1997.

took the deal instead of risk a longer prison term if she went to trial.

“She’s profoundly impacted by everything that happened,” defense attorney Tony Bruno said. “She’s remorseful beyond words.”

Johnson has been free on bond since her arraignment in April 2016.

She was taken into custody after the short court hearing Friday, looking back at her parents as she went to a holding cell. Her sentence was the maximum possible under the Class 3 felony endangerment charge.

Johnson hopes “others might learn from her story,” Bruno said. He said the University of Illinois terminated Johnson’s student enrollment in August 2016.

Officers found Johnson near the campus’ Music Building wearing a backpack with the deceased newborn inside on March 13, 2016. They were looking for her after responding to a call earlier in the day from a student at the dorm who reported sounds of a baby crying and that Johnson was in the bathroom for a long time.

Court documents show the street gang formed in Chicago in the 1980s and gradually expanded into Indiana and the Miami area. Prosecutors say the gang was responsible for numerous acts of violence, including murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and drug distribution.

Renovation of Dick Van Dyke’s childhood home ramping up

DANVILLE – Work could begin this summer to restore actor Dick Van Dyke’s childhood home in eastern Illinois.

The News-Gazette reported a contractor has been chosen for the renovation of the Danville home where Van Dyke grew up. The actor’s foundation also is raising money for the project, with a goal of eventually opening the home to the public.

The house near Danville High School fell into disrepair after its last owner died in 2011.

By 2015 the city was considering tearing down the structure. When word reached Van Dyke, the star of “Mary Poppins” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show” scheduled a trip to Danville in 2016 to lead the fundraising effort to save the home.

His foundation now owns the property.

President Donald Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, promptly warned that the agreement may result in “a less safe city.” U.S. District Judge James Bredar signed the so-called consent decree one day after a hearing to solicit comments from Baltimore residents, calling the plan “comprehensive, detailed and precise.” He denied a request to delay the signing to give the Trump administration more time to review the agreement.

The former Baptist deacon has acknowledged making personal mistakes but maintained he did nothing illegal or to merit his removal from office.

Williams calls images of missile launch ‘beautiful’

The United States blasted the air base with a barrage of cruise missiles on Friday in fiery retaliation for this week’s gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians.

U.S. strikes win global praise – but ratchet up Russia tension

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. – The United States vowed Friday to keep the pressure on Syria after the intense nighttime wave of missile strikes from U.S. ships, despite the prospect of escalating Russian ill will that could further inflame one of the world’s most vexing conflicts.

Standing firm, the Trump administration signaled new sanctions would soon follow the missile attack, and the Pentagon was even probing whether Russia itself was involved in the chemical weapons assault that compelled President Donald Trump to action. The attack against a Syrian air base was the first U.S. assault against the government of President Bashar Assad.

Much of the international community rallied behind Trump’s decision to fire the cruise missiles in reaction to this week’s chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of men, women and children in Syria. But a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the strikes dealt “a significant blow” to relations between Moscow and Washington.

At the United Nations, Russia’s deputy ambassador, Vladimir Safronkov, strongly criticized what he called the U.S. “flagrant violation of international law and an act of aggression” whose “consequences for regional and international security could be extremely serious.” He called the Assad government a main force against terrorism and said it deserved the presumption of innocence in the chemical weapons attack.

U.S. officials blame Moscow for propping up Assad.

“The world is waiting for the Russian government to act responsibly in Syria,” Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said during an emergency Security Council session. “The world is waiting for Russia to reconsider its misplaced alliance with Bashar Assad.”

Haley said the U.S. was prepared to take further action in Syria but hoped it wouldn’t be necessary.

In Florida with the president, meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said: “We will be announcing additional sanctions on Syria as part of our ongoing effort to stop this type of activity and emphasize how significant we view this. We expect that those will continue to have an important effect on preventing people from doing business with them.”

Thursday night’s strikes – some 60 cruise missiles fired from two ships in the Mediterranean – were the culmination of a rapid, threeday transformation for Trump, who has long opposed deeper U.S. involvement in Syria’s civil war. Advisers said he was outraged by heartbreaking images of young children who were among the dozens killed in the chemical attack and ordered his national security team to swiftly prepare military options.

The decision undercut another campaign promise for Trump: his pledge to try to warm relations with Moscow. After months of allegations of ties between his election campaign and the Kremlin – the subject of current congressional and FBI investigations – Trump has found himself clashing with Putin.

Gorsuch confirmation rolls Supreme Court to the right

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After weeks of turmoil, the Senate confirmed Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch as the Supreme Court’s youngest justice Friday, filling a 14-month vacancy after the death of Antonin Scalia and restoring a rightward tilt that could last for years.

Gorsuch will be sworn in Monday and will quickly begin confronting cases of consequence, including one involving separation of church and state that the justices will take up in less than two weeks.

At 49, he is decades younger than several of the other justices – two are in their 80s and one is 78 – raising the possibility that President Donald Trump will have a chance to appoint more conservatives to a court that has been somewhat balanced in recent years.

Vice President Mike Pence was presiding as the Senate voted 54-45 in favor of Gorsuch, a veteran of Denver’s 10th U.S. Circuit of Appeals whose conservative rulings make him an intellectual heir to Scalia, who died in February 2016. Republicans blocked Barack Obama from filling the seat all last year.

The outcome was a major victory for Trump, his first big congressional

And it was cause for celebration for conservatives, who have often seemed willing to forgive various Trump failings next to the chance to win this lifetime appointment to the most important court on the land.

Judge Gorsuch will serve the American people with distinction,” Trump said in a statement.

The judge won support from 51 of the chamber’s Republicans as well as three moderate Democrats up for re-election in states Trump won last fall: Joe Man-

chin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who has been recovering from back surgery, did not vote.

Gorsuch’s name was on a list of potential choices Trump produced during the campaign, and was vetted by conservative groups including the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

That unusual external review omitted consultation with Senate Democrats, contributing to bitter Democrat complaints about the way the whole process was handled.

Gorsuch is expected to join a conservative-leaning voting bloc of justices, making five on the nine-member court.

As soon as April 13, he could take part in his first private conference, where justices decide whether to hear cases – and some of them could involve gun rights, voting rights and a Colorado baker’s refusal to design a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding.

Friday’s Senate vote was the final act in a corrosive political confrontation that began with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision immediately after Scalia’s death to hold the seat open for the next president to fill, rather than convene hearings for Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.

By KEN THOMAS and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s military strike against Syria drew strong pushback from an odd mix of libertarian Republicans, Democrats and the far-right conservatives who have long insisted on Congress’ constitutional authority for acts of war.

Trump burnished an “America first” foreign policy during his 2016 campaign, warning that rival Hillary Clinton would dangerously order U.S. soldiers into international conflicts.

He was often critical of former President Barack Obama’s handling of the Syria crisis in 2013 and urged him at the time to seek congressional approval for any military action.

But the president said Thursday

night that the airstrikes were in the “vital national security interest” of the U.S. and accused Syrian President Bashar Assad of having “choked” his own citizens in a chemical attack.

Trump’s decision to launch the airstrikes on a Syrian military base represented an about-face at the start of his presidency and angered Republicans and Democrats, who said the Constitution gave Congress sole power to declare war. They urged Trump to come to Congress to get authorization for military force.

“The Constitution is very clear that war originates in the Legislature,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a leader of the party’s non-interventionist wing who challenged Trump for the GOP nomination.

Paul, who called the Syria strike unconstitutional, said Friday before

a closed-door briefing for lawmakers that they weren’t learning about the intelligence that led the president to order the strike until the day after the missiles were launched.

“You vote before you go to war, not after you go to war,” Paul told reporters.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said, “If there’s no strategy on Syria, he clearly made this decision based off of an emotional reaction to the images on TV, and it should worry everyone about the quixotic nature of this administration’s foreign policy.”

Republican leaders, many of whom back a more hawkish view of foreign policy, praised Trump’s actions. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he supported “both the action and objective,” while House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., called the

strike “appropriate and just.”

Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has been pushing for a more aggressive approach to Syria, and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also welcomed the military action.

Any attempt by Trump to push a new war powers resolution through Congress would be difficult. Obama asked lawmakers two years ago to formally authorize war against the Islamic State, but they never acted on the proposal.

The Trump administration had only days earlier suggested that Assad’s hold on power was a political reality. And Trump, in a December rally in North Carolina after his election, vowed that the U.S. would “stop racing to topple ... foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with.”

STOCKHOLM – A hijacked beer truck plowed into pedestrians at a central Stockholm department store on Friday, killing four people, wounding 15 others and sending screaming shoppers fleeing in panic in what Sweden’s prime minister called a terrorist attack.

A nationwide manhunt was launched and one person was arrested after the latest use of a vehicle as a weapon in Europe.

Nearby buildings were locked down for hours in the heart of the capital – including the country’s parliament – and the main train station and several large malls were evacuated.

“Sweden has been attacked,” Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said in a nationally televised news conference. “This indicates that it is an act of terror.”

Later Friday night, Lofven laid a bouquet of red roses and lit a candle near the site of the attack. Officials announced flags at government offices would fly at half-staff Saturday to honor the victims.

“The country is in a state of shock,” he said. “The aim of terrorism is to undermine democracy. But such a goal will never be achieved in Sweden.”

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Police arrested a man in Marsta, a northern Stockholm suburb close to the city’s international airport, as a possible suspect.

The stolen beer truck traveled for more than 500 yards along a main pedestrian street known as the Drottninggatan before it smashed into a crowd outside the upscale Ahlens department

store about 3 p.m. It came to rest in the entrance to the building. TV footage showed smoke coming out of the store after the crash.

“People were screaming and running in all directions,” said Brandon Sekitto, who was in his car nearby. “[The truck] drove straight into the Ahlens entrance.”

“I saw the driver, a man in black who was light around the face,” Brandon told Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter.

“Some women were screaming, ‘Run! Run!’ ” Late into the night, forensic experts in full white suits could be seen working on the truck, collecting evidence.

Although there was initial confusion on the number of victims, police told reporters in the evening that four people had been killed and 15 were wounded, nine of them seriously.

Authorities evacuated the city’s nearby Central Station, a hub for regional trains and the subway system.

All trains to and from the main station were halted and several large shopping malls in Stockholm were shut down.

Sweden’s national theater, Dramaten, canceled three performances Friday.

Jan Evensson of the Stockholm police told a news conference that the man who was arrested looked like the person depicted wearing a greenish hood in a surveillance camera photo that police released earlier. He said police were “particularly interested” in him.

“We continue to investigate at full force,” Evensson said, urging people not to go to central Stockholm on Friday night.

Stefan Hector of Sweden’s national police said the working hypothesis was that “this is an act of terror.”

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up: To hero deputy’s daughter Thumbs-up: To Lauren Opryszek, who plans to bike more than 300 miles to raise money for a cause that was important to her stepfather, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Dwight Maness. Maness died in 2015 nearly a year after he was shot responding to call in Holiday Hills. Opryszek is gearing up to participate in the 13th annual Cycle Across Illinois, a bike ride that recognizes law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty. Riders will begin the four-day bike ride July 13 in Alton, near St. Louis, and end July 16 in Maywood. The 24-yearold McHenry resident is riding for Chester police officer James Brockmeyer and in Maness’ honor.

Brockmeyer, 22, was killed in October 2016 in a crash during a high-speed chase. He is one of six officers for whom cyclists will ride this year.

Thumbs-down: To Senate Bill 9, what’s known as the Netflix tax on streaming video services rightly opposed in a resolution by Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, which is among the proposals in the so-called grand bargain budget discussions in Springfield. Much of what we hear about this grand bargain simply is a collection of finding new ways to tax Illinois residents who already are beyond their limits. Without significant property tax reform, more taxes of any kind for Illinois residents is no bargain whatsoever.

Thumbs-up: To Voices in Harmony. The choir will be celebrating its 30th anniversary with a concert April 9, premiering a song written in its honor.

Forming as the Crystal Lake Community Choir in 1987 to take part in the Crystal Lake Fourth of July Gala, the members caught the performance bug, and many of them have continued on with the choir, which became Voices in Harmony in 2007.

Through the years, the choir has performed at Carnegie Hall and regularly at the Raue Center for the Arts, as well as community events for Memorial Day and other holidays and hosted several fundraisers. “The word ‘community’ is very important to the community choir, even though it’s not really part of our name anymore,” said Steven Szalaj, the founding and current artistic director of the group.

The anniversary concert, titled “Reflections,” will be at 4 p.m. April 9 at the Raue, 26 N. Williams St., and also will feature the Winds Off The Lake Woodwind Quintet.

Thumbs-up: To all of the McHenry County candidates who put themselves out there seeking positions in cities, villages, school boards, townships, fire districts and library boards, among others.

Not everyone can win, and competition is healthy, but we first need people willing to do the legwork.

That’s something we should appreciate regardless of whom we personally supported.

Rosa Ortega: Texas-size scapegoating Despite cockamamie conservative conspiracy theories, actual cases of intentional or even possibly intentional voting fraud are so rare in the United States that when one does crop up, Republicans get themselves in a lather.

That explains the ugly tone of self-righteousness and retribution attending the scapegoating of Rosa Ortega, whose sentence of eight years in prison for voting illegally in Texas is a travesty of justice.

Eight years, really? That falls in the midrange of sentences for second-degree felonies in Texas, which include manslaughter, aggravated assault, sexual assault, possession of up to 2,000 pounds of marijuana and human trafficking. It’s a draconian and absurdly severe punishment for Ortega, who has a sixthgrade education and guilelessly exposed her intention to cast an illegal vote to elections officials.

Ortega, 37, has lived most of her life in Texas. As a legal permanent resident of the United States, she is eligible to work, serve in the military, pay taxes and receive most public bene-

fits. But her green card does not entitle her to vote; therefore she committed a crime by having done so while living in Dallas County in 2012 and 2014.

Generally speaking, illegal voting has been punished in Texas by a short prison sentence or even just probation. In the case of Ortega, however, Texas’ Republican attorney general, Ken Paxton, was only too happy to scapegoat her by means of what he called a punishment that “sends a message that violations of the state’s election law will be prosecuted to the fullest.”

Paxton has been part of the chorus of Republican officials nationwide, including President Donald Trump, who have conjured up the specter of fraudulent ballots cast by Democratic voters on a massive scale – despite the fact that not a shred of evidence exists to support that view and that study after study has refuted it. The GOP was determined to make an example of Ortega, even though she voted for Republicans.

Ortega has a family full of

U.S. citizens, including her four teenage children and two brothers, all born in Texas. She says she believed she was eligible to vote, having done so without difficulty in Dallas County after checking a box saying she was a citizen. After moving to an adjacent county, her voter registration application was rejected after she checked a box affirming she was not a citizen.

She then called election officials to say she’d previously voted with no problem, and asked for another application, this time checking the box asserting that she was a citizen. That tipped off officials, who arrested her on fraud charges.

For now, Ortega is out of jail on appeal. It is conceivable that her sentence will be reduced, as it should be if Texas courts have any sense of proportion.

However, she is also likely to be deported after serving whatever term she ultimately receives, and separated from her family. That, too, would be an injustice.

Writers of great protest poetry do not get hysterical – and there was some hysteria in the room. Writers of great protest poetry do not ignore possible shades of gray – and there was a fair amount of black and white in the performances. But when Philip and Mojdeh and Lea and Ivan spoke, they inspired a community, connected and comforted in their discontent.

Poetry of protest is never hearts and flowers. At the Women’s March in Washington on Jan. 23, Ashley Judd performed the poem, “Nasty

“Cherish these natural wonders. Do not let selfish men and greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” – President Theodore Roosevelt I think everyone can agree we are blessed to live in a beautiful country. I think we also can agree it’s our patriotic duty to care for our land. In the end, it’s what we leave to our progeny.

Our new EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, has gone on record as saying, “…I would not agree that [carbon dioxide] is a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.” But according to NASA, which is pretty awesome in the science department, “…the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the greenhouse effect. …”

Perhaps when poet and playwright W. H. Auden said, “Poetry makes nothing happen,” he just meant that readers should not expect too much from poetry.

It is a mode of persuasion, no more or less important than a letter to the editor or a legal brief. Poets begin a dialogue if they are allowed to speak. In America, generally, they are, although readers were uninvited to the White House in 2003 during the Iraq War, and no poets have been included in Republican inaugural ceremonies.

Some people believe guns, wealth and power are better tools than words. They believe the sentence, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, is time-worn, out of style. Writers of protest poetry do not agree.

For now, I will sing along to Nobel prize-winner Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and pray poets and performers continue to speak truth to power and that their words rock the world.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won’t come again ... ’Cause the times they are a-changing.

President Nixon began the EPA in 1970 when manufacturers were belching toxins into our air and water. Since then, we have come a long way in cleaning up the mess. Slashing regulations that will undermine the purity of our air and water is foolhardy and dangerous. If this administration has its way, will it be the kind of environment we wish to leave to our children? I think not!

“We’re giving Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize for Literature because he’s a great poet,” the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, Sara Danius, announced in the fall of 2016.

Some within the literary community scratched their heads and wondered why Bob Dylan had been chosen. Music critics and songwriters, on the other hand, understood that lyrics are just poems set to music. And Bob Dylan’s themes – ignorance, war, civil rights, death, and change – are the same as those explored by many writers of protest poetry.

April is National Poetry Month, a 30-day celebration, inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996 to encourage all of us to think about poetry and poets in our culture.

This year, during a time of continued protests across the world, I invite you to consider the impact of writers who have used the tools of language to speak the otherwise unspeakable.

Hiring slows, but unemployment falls

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and JOSH BOAK

sure, which includes involuntary parttime workers, fell to 8.9 percent, its lowest level since December 2007, when the Great Recession started.

That’s down from a peak in 2010 of 17.1 percent. Yet there were some discouraging signs:

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. employers cut back sharply on hiring in March, yet Friday’s jobs report still had much to be encouraged about, including a drop in the unemployment rate to 4.5 percent, the lowest in a decade.

Employers added just 98,000 jobs, the Labor Department said. It was barely half the previous month’s gain.

Yet unemployment dropped from 4.7 percent, reaching its lowest point since May 2007. While the rate has fallen in the past because of unemployed workers who had given up looking, it happened this time because of a healthy gain in the number of people with jobs.

“Within the disappointing 98,000 net new jobs added, there seems to be a lot more going on beneath the surface, and what is going on beneath the surface is mostly good,” said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.

Here are the positive aspects of the report, followed by some parts that were not so hot:

JOB GROWTH STILL OK

In the past three months, employers have added an average of 178,000 jobs a month. That’s much better than March’s increase and is closer to the underlying trend, economists said.

That’s also just below the average gains of 187,000 jobs a month last year. Hiring should rebound closer to that level in the coming months,

MORE OPTIMISM, SAME ECONOMY

Consumer and business optimism has soared since the presidential election. Many companies eagerly await the tax cuts and deregulation promised by President Trump.

Yet so far, there is little evidence that better sentiment has translated into more hiring, spending or economic growth. Companies are adding workers at the same pace they did last year. And consumers trimmed their inflation-adjusted spending in January and February.

economists said.

The job gains last month, while tep-

HIT FROM WEATHER PROBABLY TEMPORARY id, occurred in better-paying industries,

One reason last month’s weak gain was probably a blip is that harsh winter weather in New England and the Midwest most likely hurt hiring in construction, retail and other weather-sensitive industries. Also, construction companies reported huge job gains in January and February, when the weather was unseasonably warm, so they didn’t need to engage in their usual spring hiring.

such as manufacturing and a category that includes accounting, engineering and other professional services. Lower-paying fields, such as retail, cut jobs, while a category that includes restaurants and hotels posted a small gain.

And all the new jobs added were full time, the government said. The number of Americans who are working part time but would prefer a full-time job fell.

An alternative unemployment mea-

Average hourly earnings climbed 2.7 percent over the past year, not much of a win for workers. And after factoring in inflation in the past year, paychecks are essentially flat.

“Right now, real wages are basically stagnant,” said Megan Greene, chief economist at Manulife Asset Management. “That’s why things like retail sales growth and other indicators for consumer demand have been so anemic.”

The situation is even tougher for front-line workers, who account for the majority of all jobs. Their wages have risen just 2.3 percent, so after inflation they have fallen.

LOS ANGELES – A return to public life may be in store for Richard Simmons after the fitness guru inked a licensing deal for new merchandise.

License Global reports Prominent Brand + Talent is looking to create a new line of Simmons products. The company is co-founded by Simmons’ longtime manager Michael Catalano. Catalano said it’s “possible” that Simmons would be willing to appear in public in order to promote the products but added that any decision “is yet to be determined.”

Simmons’ shying away from the spotlight is the subject of the hit podcast “Missing Richard Simmons.”

MTV dumps gender-specific categories for award show

AP file photo

Don Rickles is honored Sept. 21, 2008, for best individual performance in a variety or music program for “Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project,” at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. Rickles died Thursday.

Rickles remembered for sweetness, despite jokes LOS ANGELES – Don Rickles kept the nice inside, his friends said. Lucky us.

Offstage, the self-described “shy and frightened kid” was invariably kind and caring, fellow celebrities said after his death Thursday at age 90.

So are many other worthy people. But Rickles, only Rickles, could leave that sweet man offstage and turn into a smirking, hairless attack dog who chewed out fans and famous pals alike with brutal insult after insult.

Everyone ate it up, because he practiced an equal-opportunity brand of humor that targeted people by race, religion, appearance and anything else he could find to mock.

And because his career was born in the 1950s, when racist and sexist broadsides delivered by white male comedians were OK, and he got grandfathered in for the remainder.

And because he really knew how to craft and deliver a line, including on the fly, and did it with chutzpah – Yiddish for nerve – and a leavening, even charming, dash of bad-boy glee.

And because candor, including his sharp-edged version, can be powerful.

The tributes flowed after kidney failure claimed his life Thursday, a month shy of his May 8 birthday.

Billy Crystal tweeted that his death was “a giant loss.” Bob Newhart and his wife, Ginnie, said Rickles’ title was “The Merchant of Venom,” but he was “one of the most sensitive human beings we have ever known.”

Renee Taylor, who played Rickles’ wife in the 1993 TV sitcom “Daddy Dearest,” called him a delight to work with.

NEW YORK – MTV has scrapped gender specific categories for its upcoming Movie & TV Awards.

In place of the Best Actress and Best Actor categories, this year’s awards will honor a nongendered Best Actor in a Movie and Best Actor in a Show. The move follows the Grammy Awards’ decision in 2011 to dump gender distinctions between male and female singers, collaborations and groups.

MTV’s May ceremony will also include a nod to social activism by renaming its Best Fight category to Best Fight the System.

This the first year the MTV Movie Awards has been redubbed the Movie & TV Awards.

They’ll be hosted by actor and comedian Adam DeVine in Los Angeles on May 7.

Film academy changes rules on documentary series

NEW YORK – In what has already been nicknamed “the O.J. rule,” the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Friday declared documentary series ineligible for the Academy Awards.

The new regulation, announced as part of a handful of tweaks in Oscar voting, follows the Oscar win in February for Ezra Edelman’s acclaimed 467-minute-long “O.J.: Made in America.”

While few quibbled with its merits – “O.J.” was one of the most acclaimed films of the year – some argued that it was better qual-

ified for the Emmys (where it’s expected to also compete) than the Oscars. Edelman maintained he conceived and crafted “O.J.: Made in America” as a long film. It ran in its entirety at film festivals and in a brief theatrical run, though most saw it in a fivepart series on ESPN. The academy specifically outlawed “multi-part or limited series.” Questions of eligibility will be resolved by the documentary branch’s executive committee.

Pearl Jam, Tupac, Yes inducted into Rock Hall

NEW YORK – Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra, Journey and Yes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday night.

Nile Rodgers received a special honor at the event held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Presenters who inducted the 2017 class included David Letterman, Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, Dhani Harrison, Pat Monahan, Jackson Browne and Alex Lifeson of Rush.

Shakur, the prolific rapper, was shot and killed at his peak in 1996. “Keep Ya Head Up,” ‘’Life Goes On,” ‘’Ambitionz Az a Ridah” and “Changes” are among his best-known songs.

After Nirvana just three years ago, Pearl Jam is the second band with roots in Seattle’s grunge rock scene to make it into the Rock Hall. The band exploded in popularity from the start in the early 1990s behind songs such as “Alive,” ‘’Jeremy” and “Even Flow.”

Finding a look you love in outdoor decor

F

or decades, “outdoor decorating” meant arranging a few nice chairs and a table near a barbecue grill, then adding an umbrella to block the summer sun. But as patios and decks have morphed into “outdoor living rooms,” the bar has risen for outdoor style and comfort.

“HGTV Design Star” judge Vern Yip said he knew we’d reached a new level of outdoor decorating this year when he discovered a fully upholstered, tufted, Chesterfield-style sofa designed for outdoor use. It’s not a less comfortable, backyard version of a classic piece of furniture; it’s a classic piece of furniture that happens to be weather-proof.

Technology has come so far, Yip said, we now can have anything outdoors that we like indoors.

As warm weather returns, we’ve asked Yip and two other experts – interior designer Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles, and Sarah Fishburne, director of trend and design for The Home Depot – for the furnishings, color palettes and accessories they are using this year to make outdoor spaces even more luxurious and inviting.

Mix and match

It’s been decades since people looked for a “suite of furniture” for their bed-

room or living room. But until recently, Burnham said, that’s been a common approach to outdoor space. She said that’s slowly changing, as people want a more interesting look that doesn’t seem lifted from a single catalog page.

Designers are encouraging their clients to mix and match, creating outdoor spaces that feel as personal and layered as interiors.

Fishburne said retailers have noticed this trend. At Home Depot, her design team selects a few popular shades and makes sure they stay consistent throughout the furniture offered.

So “chili red,” for example, will be the same shade if you buy a rug from one brand and pillows from another.

And rather than having to buy a group of four or six identical dining chairs, Fishburne said many chairs now are available in sets of two that can be paired with a contrasting style.

There also are more outdoor styles available than ever.

Aluminum-frame furniture is back, with updated details. “It’s the sort of stuff your grandparents used to have, but the 2.0 version,” Yip said. “The proportions are what we like today, deeper and bigger and more comfortable.”

If you’re worried about how to mix and match successfully, try one of these approaches: You can mix furni-

ture frames, perhaps using a few teak pieces alongside metal or woven resin pieces, and then keep all the cushions or pillows the same. Or you can use all metal or all resin frames from different brands, and mix up the pillows and cushions. Either way, you have consistency, but also a unique look that isn’t exactly the same as your neighbor’s.

Don’t settle

“If you had put an outdoor sofa and in indoor sofa side by side in front of a consumer a year ago or two years ago,” Yip said, no one would have had trouble picking out which was which.

Today, he said, “you really can’t tell the difference.”

So take time to shop for what you love, rather than settling for the typical outdoor furniture you see everywhere.

There are outdoor fabrics that feel as soft as what you’d expect indoors, and cushions that are just as soft and deep.

Yip said the newest outdoor cushions offer two layers of foam and then a top layer made of a down alternative.

Seek “that super-plush feeling with your outdoor furniture that you’re used to feeling with your indoor furniture,” he said.

And start with your favorite interior design retailers. They’re likely to offer outdoor options.

“It’s not just at the patio store anymore,” Burnham said. For example, she said, Design Within Reach and Restoration Hardware both offer wide selections of outdoor furnishings.

Seek next-level details

Outdoor storage has become even more inventive: You’ll find “console tables that have built-in coolers, or daybeds that have built-in coolers,” Yip said.

And outdoor accessories have “detailing and embellishments that used to be reserved for indoor stuff,” Yip said, including hurricane lanterns with mother-of-pearl detailing, and pillows with feathers, beading or embroidery.

“We’ve figured out how to have all this detailing, all this embellishment,” he said, and “how to have it on the outside, so it does endure and it does last.”

To define your outdoor space and bring in plants and flowers, Fishburne recommends large “statement planters.” They come pre-planted with a mix of plants that look stylish and grow well.

Most important: Go for a look you love, rather than one that’s perfectly coordinated.

“All the rules have kind of been broken,” Fishburne said. “No one says you have to have a matching cocktail table in front of your chairs.”

Most plants are said to be medium in texture, and generally are used to link fine and coarse arrangements in large settings. Examples include impatiens, daisies, camellias and viburnum.

Fine-textured plants generally have smaller foliage. Ferns, grasses, vines, shrubs and Japanese maples fit into this category.

The most popular element in landscape design is color, but texture is another important building block. Texture in gardening can be seen as well as felt, and is used primarily to provide contrast.

Color lacks dimension without texture, which can soften spaces, provide visual interest, fashion backdrops and set moods.

“It takes a different kind of eye to appreciate texture in the garden,” said Susan Barton, a University of Delaware horticulturist.

“We’re all programmed to recognize color, but once you start looking for texture, you can appreciate it.”

Landscape design is comprised of five basic principles: scale, balance, repetition, dominance and unity, said Rebecca Finneran, a horticulturist with the Michigan State University Extension program.

“The tools we use to achieve these are use of line, form, color and texture,” Finneran said.

“Leaves, flowers, stems and bark can add ‘texture’ to the visual. Certain times of year or day will accentuate this. Even a pot or paving materials can add textural differences.”

Plant texture varies from coarse to fine.

Coarse-textured favorites include cannas, elephant ear, coleus, hydrangea and horse chestnut.

All are dramatic and bold.

“They draw the eye because of their differences or contrast in shape or appearance,” Finneran

plants closest to the observer with medium plants in the middle and fine-textured assortments in the rear makes the setting appear more distant.

Reversing that, with coarse-textured plants in the background and fine-textured varieties up front, tends to make gardens look smaller.

Hardscaping – using winding pathways and streams, eye-catching fountains and furniture – also produces a sense of visual texture, along with four-season interest. The same goes for foliage shape, bark surfaces and the patterns made by branches.

Even kitchen gardens can be accented by emphasizing visual texture. Dill, fennel, thyme, asparagus and lavender are fine-textured plants that are attractive in edible settings. Tomatoes, basil and peppers serve for medium texture, while lettuce, chard, corn and okra provide the coarse.

“Beets are a great example of adding colorful foliage to an edible garden,” Finneran said. “Pair this plant with a ferny-looking foliage of carrots and you’ve got a lovely design that you will eat later on.

“Purple kohlrabi is another great example – not to mention Swiss chard,” she said. “All of these add bold coarse texture with fun color that is sure to please.”

Seek out plants based on their physical characteristics. Color is good, but visual texture is more enduring.

“Whether using plants in a container, or annuals and perennials or woody plants in the

Reduce risk of prostate cancer Dear Doctor: Is there anything I can do to reduce my risk of prostate cancer? No one in my family has had cancer, but I just turned 55 and want to do whatever I can to stay healthy.

Dear Reader: While there is no single approach to prevent prostate cancer, research has shown certain lifestyle changes may reduce your risk of developing the disease. Considering that these behaviors also promote good health and well-being, you won’t go wrong by adopting any or all of them.

Let’s start with some facts about the disease.

Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men, right behind skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in seven men will get a diagnosis of prostate cancer during his lifetime. However, that’s not as dire as it sounds. Prostate cancers grow slowly and are slow to spread. As a result, survival rates of prostate cancer are high. The fiveyear survival rate is close to 100 percent.

The 15-year survival rate is 95 percent.

The major risk factors for prostate cancer are age, race, family history, a diet high in red meat and animal fat and tobacco use. While the first three can’t be changed, they can alert you to be more vigilant.

About 70 percent of new cases of prostate cancer occur in men 65 and older. Men of African-American descent are at higher risk of developing the disease, and their cancers can be more aggressive. If you fall into those categories, and if cancer runs in your family, be sure to always include these facts in your medical history.

So how do you reduce your risk? Limit or skip red meat, dairy and animal fats.

Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish and turkey instead. Focus on healthy fats from

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier plant-based sources like olive oil and nuts.

We’re sure you’ve heard it before, but that’s because it’s true: leafy greens, whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cooked tomatoes (which contain lycopene), cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, soy products and green tea also are recommended.

Studies show being obese or overweight is linked to higher rates of many kinds of cancer, including prostate cancer. Regular physical activity, which not only burns calories and fat but also builds muscle mass, results in a lower – and healthier – body mass index.

Do you use tobacco products? As physicians, we must ask you to please stop.

Tobacco plays a role in a daunting array of diseases and conditions, including prostate cancer. We know quitting can be difficult and have given our own patients a hand in leaving tobacco behind. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your physician.

Cancers that are caught early are more easily treated. That makes screening important. Thanks to new understanding about slow-growing prostate cancers, many physicians now will recommend active surveillance in older men with slow-growing tumors.

DEAR ABBY wife and I have been married Jeanne 11 years, but Phillips together for 15.

We’ve had our ups and downs as normal couples do, but lately it seems like everything she does, I try and find something to nitpick and argue over.

There was a recent misunderstanding that led to an awakening of a jealous side to me that I never had, and now I can’t seem to turn it off.

When she goes to her chiropractor appointment, I call to make sure she has the appointment for the time she told me. She spent time visiting her dad and aunt, and even that made me jealous. I feel like if I keep this up, I may lose her.

We had a baby five months ago, and he’s very needy, much more than our older child was, so that’s also putting a strain on our relationship.

What can I do to be a better husband and not get angry at her for the dumbest and smallest things? – Frustrated Husband In California Dear Frustrated: You say this new behavior started because of a “recent misunderstanding.”

I wish you had mentioned what it was, because it would have been helpful to know. Did the misunderstanding make you feel insecure, or just angry and punitive? Or is the fact your wife needs to share her time caring for the new baby what’s bothering you? If you already haven’t talked this through with your wife, you should. The arrival of a new baby can result in postpartum depression, fatigue, physical aches and pains and lack of physical desire.

If these are what’s setting you off, you should both discuss what’s happening with her doctor.

If that’s not the cause, some sessions with a licensed psychotherapist may help you find the answer you’re looking for.

Dear Abby: My 17-year-old son always has been very shy. I don’t think it helps that he’s now 6 feet 6 inches tall and obviously stands out.

Recently, at a sports event which his team won, there were celebrations that were caught on video, and I could see him milling around outside of the “celebratory circle” of his teammates.

It seemed very sad he didn’t feel comfortable enough to jump into the huddle.

He has known many of the kids on his team for more than six years and has hung out and been on sleepovers with some of them on many occasions, so it’s not like they are strangers. My husband thinks we should just let him find his own way in life. I desperately want to talk to him and see if I can’t get him to be more sociable, but I’m not sure how to achieve this. What would you suggest, Abby? Leave him alone or intervene, and if so, how? – Mother Of A Shy Guy Dear Mother: I would suggest a little of both.

Because you are concerned your son is isolating himself, talk to him about it and try to find out why. However, you should not push him into doing anything he’s not comfortable with. And if he appears to be happy with his life, let him live it and, as your husband says, find his own way.

ACROSS

I S A T

J.K. Rowling said, “Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.”

In this deal, South has choices at trick one. He is in seven spades, and West leads the diamond king. How many options does South have, and what would happen after each?

South also had choices in the auction. After North opened one heart, South reasonably chose to respond five no-trump, the Grand Slam Force, asking his partner to bid seven with two of the top three heart honors.

When North did exactly that, South converted to seven spades. North then contemplated bidding seven notrump based on his diamond ace, but it was lucky that he did not.

South had three choices at trick one (if we ignore the absurd play of ruffing the diamond ace). He could win with the diamond ace and discard either a club or a heart, or he could play low from the board and ruff in his hand.

When I run this deal in a class, (almost) everyone discards the club five and can no longer make the contract when the hearts are 4-0.

Much better is to throw a heart on the diamond ace. Then, after drawing trumps and turning to hearts, South can ruff the fourth round, cross to dummy with a spade and pitch his club five on the heart six.

My preference, though, is to ruff at trick one. Then, when the bad heart break is revealed, declarer will see the necessity to discard a heart, not a club, on the diamond ace.

Carefully consider your choices.

Lala is in a foster home so please email or call to set up a time to meet her.

Hobo, is approx. 6 years old and is currently in foster care. He enjoys his stuffed toys, walks, and cuddles. Hobo is a pretty easy going dog! Hobo has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccines. Please email or call to set up a time to meet Hobo.

He is available to meet at the adoption center.

SOFTBALL: McHENRY 7, WAUCONDA 6

Freshman Currie doesn’t flinch

Clutch double scores 3 runs in 4th inning

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – After loading the bases with nobody out in the top of the fourth inning, McHenry found itself an out from coming away empty-handed against Wauconda when the next two batters failed to get the ball out of the infield, each popping out.

Freshman Jocelyn Currie made sure the Warriors cashed in on the golden opportunity. Picking up her teammates, the second baseman pulled a hot shot off the top of the left-field fence, coming a couple of feet away from a grand slam.

The loud double with two outs scored all three runners to give McHenry (2-1) a six-run lead. Wauconda fought back with five runs in the seventh, but the Warriors held on for a 7-6 nonconference softball win Friday.

“I was really just trying to shorten up, make contact with the ball and score some runs,” said Currie, who finished 3 for 3 with a double, three RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen base.

“It felt good. I was excited, happy we were getting things going, because we needed some runs.”

The next batter, Mannon Amelio, added an RBI double down the thirdbase line to score Currie for a 7-0 lead.

McHenry coach John DiFrancesca called Currie’s fourth-inning at-bat a game changer.

“She comes up as a freshman with complete composure and just drives the ball,” DiFrancesca said. “I think that changed the outcome of the game. We love what we see from her. She has a great attitude, and she’s just a great team player. She’s solid, very solid.”

Sophomore shortstop Tori Boysen went 2 for 3 and lined a solo home run past the American flag in center field in the third to give the Warriors their first run. Alyssa Pearson followed with a walk, and Currie beat out an infield single to put runners on first and second.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The Warriors will play five games in three days after not playing since March 24. McHenry travels to Stillman Valley on Saturday for a triple-header against Antioch, DeKalb and Stillman Valley.

Pearson and Currie eventually came around to score on wild pitches by Wauconda pitcher Kelly Weller for a 3-0 lead.

McHenry sophomore pitcher Lindsey Ciesla was almost unhittable in her four innings. She allowed two hits in four scoreless innings with one walk and one strikeout.

Weller tossed 22/3 innings for Wauconda (1-4), giving up six runs on six hits

with three walks and a strikeout.

Ciesla, who finished 2 for 3, was making her first start. McHenry, meanwhile, was playing its second game in two days after not playing since March 24.

“I thought that my release was pretty good,” Ciesla said. “I was hitting my spots really well, and it just felt good to get back out here and pitch. [Thursday’s loss to Barrington] kind of got us down, but now we’re back up and feeling good going into the next game.”

Wauconda scored on a sacrifice fly in the fifth and added five runs in the seventh off Warriors pitcher Larisa Smits.

Weller connected on a three-run double with two outs, and Sydney Williams (3 for 4) followed with an RBI double in the final inning.

The next batter, Angelica Cho, smacked an RBI single into right field that McHenry outfielder Maddy Sullivan dived for and appeared to catch, but the ball popped out of her glove as she hit the ground.

Wauconda’s Hayley Redmann ended the game on a grounder to third with the tying run on first.

“We saw some good things today,” DiFrancesca said. “A couple of mistakes, but it’s still early on. You can just tell that they’re starting to play. We’re coming out of the gym, and you can just sense they are starting to wake up a bit.”

“That’s what Craig and I love to do,” Chong said. “We just don’t want to be the person talking. We want to feel like one of the players, connect with our players instead of just telling them what to do and bossing them around.”

Ian Brzeski, a junior singles player for Marian, remembers watching the Chong brothers play doubles last year at Jacobs. Brzeski said Kendrick has adjusted well to coaching, even though he’s not much older than the players on the team.

“He points out what you do wrong,” Brzeski said. “He asks you questions to get you thinking about how you should be playing. He asks for all your opponents’ weaknesses, and what you’re doing wrong so you can see how you can try to Assistant Kendrick fix that.”

When Kendrick Chong told his younger brother, Kerwin, that he was becoming an assistant tennis coach at Marian Central, Kerwin thought it was a joke.

“Really?” Kerwin said.

Kendrick wasn’t kidding.

As recently as last season, the Jacobs duo was the best doubles team in the area, storming through the Fox Valley Conference and finishing Kendrick’s senior year 40-5 overall and 3-2 at the 2016 state tournament.

Now at Marian practices, Kendrick sports a gray and red Marian Central pullover that reads “COACH” in white letters on the back. It has been a quick transition for the 19-year-old.

“It’s great that I get to watch the game from the other side of the fence, from a whole different perspective,” Chong said.

“Instead of playing out points, I’m watching, helping out my players.”

First-year Marian girls and boys tennis coach Craig Greenwald encouraged Chong to apply to be his assistant last summer before the girls tennis season. The two knew each other from coaching tennis together at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center.

Chong considered attending UIC last year after graduating from Jacobs but elected instead to stay home and take classes at Elgin Community College.

Jacobs coach Jon Betts recently called Chong one of the best players to come through the Golden Eagles program. He and his fellow seniors led the Eagles to a 10th-place finish at state last year.

The opportunity to coach with Greenwald at Marian surprised Chong, but he knew he could do it with his experience at Centegra – where he has coached everyone from

Richmond-Burton at Burlington Central 4:30 p.m. Thursday The KRC’s two leaders meet for the first time this season. Neither has lost a conference game, so the winner of this will take pole position in the KRC title race.

The change in attitude showed after the Chargers won their third consecutive regional.

“In past years, we were disappointed at not having winning records, but we were able to finish super-strong and win a regional,” Miller said. “This year, we were disappointed we were unable to get to that sectional final. I really felt like we had the opportunity to do that.”

Gieseke and Michalski are thrilled to have one more game together with Miller.

“I’m so grateful we get to have her,” Michalski said.

“She’s been with us so long. It’s great she gets to coach us one last time and other players get to have the experience to have her as a coach for one game.”

Dundee-Crown senior Paige Gieseke recalls her first practice as a freshman when new varsity coach Sarah Miller set about to change the way the players viewed their program.

“She set the bar super-high, and we thought, ‘How are we ever going to reach that?’ ” Gieseke said. “She led us through every step and through every adversity. She got us up there. She kept us disciplined.

She got us to be in the mindset we can reach that.”

D-C went from four wins to 10 in Miller’s first season. Then to 17, 16 and 19, each of those three coming with a Class 4A regional championship. This season, the Chargers tied with Cary-Grove, Hampshire and Huntley for the Fox Valley Conference title, their first since 2005.

There will be 3-point contests for girls and boys, with each winner facing off for an overall champion. There also will be a dunk contest for the boys.

“The first year, we talked about discipline, a winning culture, what that looked like,” Miller said. “This being the fourth year, I felt like everyone really understood what was expected, high standards among each other and teammates. We kind of changed that mindset, building confidence and knowing what it takes to compete.”

Miller graduated from Mundelein in 2005 and played at NCAA Division I Western Illinois. Through her own experiences, she urged her players to work hard and think big.

“She definitely turned the program around for us,” said Michalski, a forward who will play at D-III Benedictine. “She set our expectations high and believed in what we could do

8 PREP WRESTLING: FIGHT FOR THE FOX, 6 P.M. SATURDAY AT CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL

Harvard practice partners not done yet

By JOHN WILKINSON

“I’ve loved it. I’ve been practicing with my partner and one of my really good friends, Justin, and then I’ve been practicing with (Huntley’s) Josh Stenger, who’s going to be one of my partners up at La Crosse next season,” Fiegel said. “It’s been a really good mix of wrestling with old teammates and then someone who’s going to be one of my new teammates.”

The event will include wrestlers from McHenry, Jacobs, Huntley, Harvard, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Hampshire, Marengo and Dundee-Crown.

Central’s two-time state champion and 2017 Northwest Herald Wrestler of the Year Lenny Petersen is part of the lineup after his brother Michael participated in the first event last year. With

Central hosting this year, Petersen said he’s happy to have one more chance to wrestle on his home mat.

“I’m excited. I thought my last time was going to be our last home meet of the season,” Petersen said. “But it’s kind of cool wrestling there one more time in the Central singlet.”

Other Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selections participating are Huntley’s Stenger, McHenry’s Lucas Busse, Harvard’s Fiegel, Marengo’s Joe Mier and Dundee-Crown’s Chase Raap.

Also set to compete for the McHenry County team are McHenry’s Matt Gutierrez and AJ Sweeney, Jacobs’ Beau Harrier and David Dudych, Huntley’s Joey Armijo, Crystal Lake South’s Shahyan Malik and Vinny Fontanetta, Hampshire’s Max McGowan and Har-

vard’s Brandon Most.

“The best part – on top of being able to wrestle with Josh again – it’s also been pretty cool to put faces to some of the names that I’ve heard about, some of the studs in the area,” Wilcox said.

The match also reunites a number of kids who grew up wrestling together but, unlike Wilcox and Fiegel, ended up competing at rival high schools.

“Anytime you get a bunch of kids who love wrestling to get together to do something like this, it’s always fun,” Central coach Justen Lehr said. “And a lot of these kids know each other from IKWF days, (Crystal Lake) Wizards, other teams.”

Getting all that talent, regardless of school size or conference, in one room is partly why Lehr and Huntley coach BJ Bertelsman came up with the event.

“There’s always a lot of chatter with the small schools and the big schools, and we’re going to see some matches of kids from small schools and big schools,” Lehr said. “I think that creates a little excitement, too, where kids have never wrestled each other during the year. I think the majority of our matches kids did not wrestle (each other) during the season.”

Last year, the McHenry County team beat Lake County, 33-25, in a dual that was at times competitive, at times lighthearted and entertaining throughout.

“Our area is really good in wrestling, and I don’t think we get a lot of publicity,” Lehr said. “We have a ton of kids that are All-State kids in our area, and when you think about it, it’s kind of a forgotten sport a little bit. This is a way for us to kind of give back to those kids.

“You go to a meet at some of these schools and there’s no one at these meets, there’s no build up, press, I don’t know. I think this is kind of a way for kids from those schools to maybe get that. It’s like the one last hurrah.”

to Grant. Giese allowed four runs, two earned. She struck out four, allowing no walks and 10 hits.

Autumn Kasal hit a solo home run for Huntley (3-3). Breanne Weiss and Rylie Porretto each hit doubles.

Huntley scored in the top of the seventh to tie the score, but Grant pushed across a run in the eighth.

Hampshire 13, Schaumburg 8: At Schaumburg, the Whip-Purs scored early and often in a nonconference victory over Schaumburg. Seven players drove in at least one run for Hampshire (2-3). The Whips also capitalized on seven Schaumburg errors.

Hampshire’s Emily Egger hit a home run. Peyton De Chant went 2 for 5 with a run scored and an RBI. Gwen Malecke

went 1 for 3 with a walk, an RBI and three runs scored. Renee Malecke went 2 for 3 with a walk, two runs and two RBIs. Pitcher Jasmine Lopez earned the win, going 51/3 innings and allowing five earned runs.

Lakes 9, Richmond-Burton 3: At Richmond, Sophie Schwegel had three hits, including a double, for the Rockets in a nonconference loss to Lakes. Schwegel drove in two runs. Rachael Hayden went 2 for 3, Alexa Rodriguez hit a double.

Hayden pitched all seven innings for the Rockets (1-4) and picked up the loss.

Woodstock 11, Big Foot 3: At Woodstock, Joanna Watson threw 51/3 innings and picked up the nonconference win for the Blue Streaks over Big Foot of Walworth, Wisconsin. Watson struck out 10

and walked two, allowing three earned runs.

Watson also hit a double, scored a run and drove one in. Abby Primus went 2 for 4 with a run scored. Katie Walsh went 2 for 4 with a run scored and an RBI for the Streaks (4-2).

Woodstock North 2, Belvidere 1: At Belvidere, Ellie Thurow threw a three-hit complete game for the Thunder in a nonconference win over Belvidere. North scored runs in the second and third innings to take the lead.

Thurow allowed one earned run and struck out five. At the plate, Thurow went 1 for 4 with an RBI. Lulu Nicks went 2 for 3 for North (4-2) with a run scored. Maddie Busch went 1 for 3 with an RBI.

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Joshua Fiegel and Justin Wilcox have been wrestling together since they were young kids – they think around 6 years old. From early years with the Harvard Wrestling Club and then for the past four years with the Harvard Hornets’ high school program, where both qualified for the state tournament multiple times, they’ve always been practice partners.

Both are planning Joshua Fiegel to continue the sport in college, too, but that is where their paths will split. Fiegel will wrestle at Wisconsin-La Crosse next year, while Wilcox is headed to Ashland in Ohio.

In the past couple Justin Wilcox of weeks, however, the lifelong practice partners have gotten the chance to prepare for one more meet together.

They are two of 16 local wrestlers, including three Hornets total, scheduled to participate in the second annual Fight for the Fox all-star wrestling dual at 6 p.m. Saturday at Crystal Lake Central. The event pits a lineup of top seniors from McHenry County against a team of seniors from Lake County.

“The first thing I asked was, ‘Well, how much weight allowance do we get,’ ” Fiegel said. “And then after that, I was super excited about it and happy to have another opportunity to wear my school colors, wrestle with my practice partner and really just enjoy the sport of wrestling, help promote it, one last high school hurrah.”

The practices also have given Fiegel a glimpse of his future in the sport.

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino followed through on another of his coach’s beliefs.

“He preached about how important it was to get in the weight room and to make sure you feel like your best self when you’re in the batter’s box,” Ridout said.

Since his freshman season, Ridout has added almost 20 pounds to his 6-foot3, 200-pound frame.

“I’ve always been lanky,” said Ridout, who played multiple sports in high school. “I was always conditioning and always running, so I could never put on weight. Now, I just have baseball and school to focus on.”

This season, he is batting .390 with a team-leading 49 RBIs and also paces the Bulldogs with 55 hits and 40 runs.

“I just don’t want to have a dropoff,” he said. “In order to play at the next level, you have to consistently play at a very high level.”

Ridout is interested in playing professional baseball, but he’s not willing to forsake his team’s impressive season and a chance at a deep playoff run.

“When it comes to game time, there are no outside distractions,” he said.

“I’m not worrying about if scouts are looking at me or if someone is videotap-

ing my at-bats, which has happened.”

Several teams have reached out, Ridout said, but the Boston Red Sox have expressed the most interest.

Ridout originally was slated to play at NCAA Division I Southeastern Louisiana. However, he said financial concerns led him to change his mind.

What he has found in Athens, Tennessee, a city of about 14,000 residents 60 miles southwest of Knoxville, reminded him of home.

“I came from a small town, but [Athens] might be smaller than Johnsburg,” Ridout said. “It fits me.”

Rehberg, Warhawks shine: CaryGrove graduate Chloe Rehberg earned second-team All-America honors in the vault while helping Wisconsin-Whitewater win the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association title last weekend.

Rehberg, a junior, finished tied for 10th on the vault with a score of 9.55 as Whitewater claimed its fourth national team title in school history. Rehberg was among 14 All-America performances at the meet for the Warhawks.

Whitewater also won its fifth Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference/NCGA West Regional title in history last month.

Lyman, Cardinals rolling: Senior outfielder Colin Lyman (Huntley) is batting .301 with 16 RBIs this season for Louisville’s baseball team, which is ranked No. 2 in the nation.

Lyman, the team’s right fielder, has

started 26 times this season. He has a .409 on-base percentage and seven stolen bases in nine attempts. The Cardinals (25-3) are tied for first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with Clemson.

Both teams have 10-2 records.

Dabrowski claims honor: Junior Becca Dabrowski of Monmouth College was recognized March 31 at the Collegiate Water Polo Association co-Player of the Week.

While helping the Scots to a 4-2 record over the previous week, Dabrowski led the team in scoring in five of those games and scored four game-winning goals. She also had a pair of five-goal games.

Dabrowski, a McHenry West grad, leads Monmouth (4-6) with 23 goals, 21 steals and seven assists this season.

Severino shines for BU: Crystal Lake South grad Nick Severino has a teamhigh 13 RBIs this season for D-III Benedictine University.

A senior outfielder, Severino is batting .264 for the Eagles (9-8) while starting 16 times. Severino drove in three runs in a 7-2 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference win last weekend against Lakeland.

One home run was Collin Ridout’s season total as a college freshman in 2015.

One voice changed that and helped Ridout develop into a power hitter.

Last season at Heartland Community College in Normal, working with hitting coach Nick Magnifico boosted Ridout’s confidence and adjusted his approach to hitting.

“He told us to get your pitch to hit and believe you’re going to hit it,” said Ridout, a Collin Ridout Johnsburg graduate.

“That was my problem.

I didn’t believe I had the ability to hit home runs.”

Without making changes to his stance or swing, Ridout hit 15 home runs last season as a Heartland sophomore. He has matched that total already this year as a junior third baseman at NAIA Tennessee Wesleyan with 16 games still remaining in the regular season.

Ridout’s 15 homers lead the No. 6 Bulldogs (26-12) and rank fourth in the nation.

“Most of the credit goes to (Magnifico),” Ridout said. “He’s helped me tremendously. I haven’t really skipped a beat. I picked up right where I left off.”

Ridout said he and Magnifico – now an assistant coach at Central Missouri – still talk regularly, and Ridout has

10 BREWERS 2, CUBS 1 (11 INN.)

Wild pitch ends Milwaukee marathon

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MILWAUKEE – Manager Joe Maddon was as eager as anybody to see lefty Brett Anderson make his Cubs debut Friday night.

Anderson did not disappoint even as the Cubs fell, 2-1, in 11 innings to the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. A wild pitch by Mike Montgomery with the bases loaded and one out in the inning ended the game.

The 29-year-old Anderson, who spent most of last year on the Dodgers’ disabled list with a back injury, worked 52/3 innings against the Brewers, giving up five hits and a run in the sixth inning that enabled the Brewers to tie the score at 1.

The Cubs also got a scare in that inning when second baseman Javy Baez had to leave the game after colliding with center fielder Jason Heyward as Baez went out and Heyward came in an attempt to reach a single by Hernan Perez.

Baez’s head collided with the body of Heyward, and it looked as if Baez might have suffered whiplash. He gave

a thumbs-up and walked off the field accompanied by the Cubs’ athletic trainer.

The Cubs later announced Baez suffered a bruise above his left eye.

As for Anderson, he won a starting spot in the rotation in spring training over fellow left-hander Mike Montgomery.

Anderson had a 5.28 ERA in Arizona, but Maddon admitted there was a curiosity factor in seeing him pitch in a game that counted.

“Yeah, there is,” Maddon said. “Playing in Arizona, he’s a groundball pitcher.

Arizona is not kind to groundball guys; the ground is so hard and so fast. I want to see him pitch more at sea level. This ballpark, you could put the ball on the ground here. But the ball, I don’t know why, it carries here. It has a tendency to carry here. I still want to see him more in a normal environment because of the kind of pitcher he is.

“I’m really eager to watch him play tonight because Bos (pitching coach Chris Bosio) said that his last bullpen was outstanding and the ball was moving like we know that it can. Regardless, as we move forward, as he gets more comfortable pitching in the season, you’re go-

ing to see a lot of real good work with him pitching with our defense playing behind him.”

Anderson threw 90 pitches, 55 strikes as he walked one and struck out four.

Ben Zobrist gave Anderson a 1-0 lead in the second, when he led off with his first home run of the season, a drive to right field.

Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson was effective over his six innings, as he gave up four hits while striking out eight.

Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, who was 0 for 13 in the three games at St. Louis, flied out to the warning track in the first inning and was hit by a pitch in the third. He picked up his first hit of the season with two outs in the fifth, beating out a bouncer to deep third base as the ball hit the bag.

The Brewers’ game-tying rally in the sixth began innocently enough as Anderson got two quick outs to start the inning. Travis Shaw then singled to right field and went to second on a wild pitch, setting up an RBI single by Jesus Aguilar. Maddon brought Justin Grimm in to pitch, and he gave up the single to Perez that ended Baez’s night.

TWINS 3, WHITE SOX 1

Offense, defense don’t help Holland in Sox debut

By TOM MUSICK For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Derek Holland is high energy no matter what day it is.

So when the southpaw climbed the mound to make his White Sox debut against the Twins on Friday night, Holland’s inner drive hit another gear.

“He’s got a horse mentality,” manager Rick Renteria said. “He’s a strong young man. He wants to go out there and he wants the ball, he wants to pitch, he wants to dominate the zone. He’s a competitor.

“I think (he has) all the things that you need from a guy that’s been around.

This guy has been around in some pretty good situations in his career, so it’s to our benefit to have him out there on the hill.”

A strong performance by Holland was overshadowed by meager hitting and mistake-prone defense in a 3-1 loss.

The Sox (1-2) committed three errors and scattered four hits after the first inning.

Holland allowed three runs (two earned) in six-plus innings. He gave up four hits, walked one and fanned five.

Until Friday, Holland had pitched all 179 games of his career for the Texas

Rangers. He racked up 16 wins, including four shutouts as a 24-year-old in 2011, which ended with a trip to the World Series. But injuries to his left knee and left shoulder caused Holland to miss significant portions of the past three seasons.

The Sox signed Holland to a one-year, $6 million contract in December. The deal marked a good fit for a team looking for a shortterm commitment and a pitcher seeking an opDerek Holland portunity to revive his career.

“Obviously, we all hope that all guys are healthy and that he’s able to stay in one piece, as you say,” Renteria said. “He’s a horse. He’s kind of a resilient guy. I think some of the things that have happened to him in the past, whatever they might be, the way he works, the way he prepares, he’s always trying to minimize – like any pitcher – what might happen to him from a physical standpoint.”

The Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead on a run-scoring single by Jose Abreu in the first inning.

The advantage was short-lived as the

Twins capitalized on an errant pickoff throw by Holland and a dropped fly ball

by Avisail Garcia to even the score in the fourth.

Minnesota pulled ahead 2-1 on a hardhit double by Miguel Sano two innings later.

Renteria removed Holland after he walked Twins third baseman Eduardo Escobar to lead off the seventh inning.

The pitcher received a warm ovation from an announced crowd of 14,004, and teammates greeted him with high-fives as he returned to the dugout.

Moments later, the walk proved costly.

Reliever Nate Jones surrendered a double down the left-field line, and umpires allowed Escobar to score from first base after a fan clutching a beer reached over the railing and grabbed the fair ball with his free hand. Renteria asked for a video review, which confirmed the ruling and made it 3-1.

Holland will try for his first Sox win next week at Cleveland or Minnesota.

12 THE MASTERS

Fowler joins 4-way tie at the top

Garcia in hunt for 1st major title in 70th attempt

SCORES

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Rickie Fowler only wanted to make sure the wind didn’t blow him away over two tough rounds at the Masters. More than just survive Friday, he posted a 5-under-par 67 that gave him a share of the lead for the first time in a major.

That won’t make it any easier, as survival gives way to what could be a shootout among some of golf’s biggest stars.

Fifteen players were separated by a mere five shots going into the weekend, a group that includes Adam Scott and Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, and even 57-year-old Fred Couples.

“I knew the first two days would be tough. We really needed to make sure we could fight through it and stay in the tournament,” Fowler said. “We’re in a good spot. It’s going to be a fun weekend. We’re going to see a lot of good golf and battle it out.”

Fowler began his move early by holing a bunker shot for eagle on the second hole, and even a bogey from the water behind the green on the par-5 15th green didn’t ruin his day. He bounced back with a birdie and stayed in the lead.

Garcia, playing his 70th consecutive major and still looking for that first victory to define an otherwise strong career, wasn’t the least bit bothered by seeing the wrong score for him on a leaderboard behind the 13th green when a penalty for a lost ball was mistakenly attributed to him. He fired

Pieters made an eagle on the par-5 13th on his way to a 68. Hoffman was simply happy to join them. His four-shot lead was gone in 11 holes, and he steadied himself the rest of the way to limit the damage to a 75.

The leaders were at 4-under 140.

Hoffman will be in the final group going into the weekend at the Masters for the second time in three years, with one big difference. Two years ago, Hoffman was five shots behind Spieth in what turned out to be a runaway for the young Texan.

This time, the Masters appears to be up for grabs.

The last time there was a four-way tie for the lead at the halfway point of the Masters was in 1973, when Bob Dickson, Gay Brewer, J.C. Snead and Tommy Aaron were tied at 3-under 141. Aaron went on to claim his only green jacket.

Hoffman had a chance to keep his distance until he ran off five bogeys in a sixhole stretch, including a three-putt from 4 feet at the par-5 eighth. His lead was gone when he sprayed another tee shot into the trees at No. 11. He played 1 under the rest of the way, though he still was 10 shots worse than his score Thursday.

“Everybody was talking about how great that round was yesterday, but it was pretty easy to me – making putts, hitting good, solid golf shots,” Hoffman said. “Today, I think I sort of felt how hard it was for everybody else in this wind when you got out of position.”

Garcia only really got out of position on the scoreboard.

His tee shot on No. 10 clipped a tree and shot back into the fairway, while Shane Lowry also hit a tree and couldn’t find it. All three were wearing dark sweaters during the search, and the scorers were confused with who lost the ball. Garcia made bogey, dropping him to 3 under. A few holes later, however, it was changed to 1 under on the scoreboard, and Garcia pointed to the board behind the 13th green.

It eventually was fixed, although that was of no concern to the 37-year-old Spaniard.

“The most important thing is I knew where I stood,” Garcia said.

And he knows the score that everyone talks about – 70 majors as a pro without a victory, and enough close calls to make him wonder if he’ll ever get it done. Garcia never has seriously contended in the Masters, however, so while this is 19th appearance at Augusta, being part of a 36-hole lead is new territory.

It’s too early to think about how a green jacket would fit him – not with 36 holes left, not with so many quality players around him.

“That would be the best thing that could happen to me,” Garcia said.

William McGirt (73) was two shots behind. The group at 1-under 143 included Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose (72), Couples (70) and Spanish rookie Jon Rahm, who had a 70 and looms as a threat to become the first Masters rookie to win since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
