An ode to roundabouts

Roundabouts are lovely additions to our roadways. We need more of them at busy intersections.

I was introduced to roundabouts between my junior and senior years in high school when the Spanish Club went on a weeklong trip to Mexico, including Mexico City. Rural Iowa tourists meet one of the largest cities in the world.

It was the first time I traveled by air, although I can’t remember where our flight originated. Chicago? Des Moines? But there was a layover at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport before we continued on to Mexico City.

Texas was the seventh state I could check off on my list of visited states, even if it was just an airport terminal. It’s cheating, but it counts.

It was the first time I stayed overnight in a hotel, sharing a room with my classmates. I saw my first and only bullfight, a gruesome spectacle. It was the first and only time I walked on the hot white sands of a tropical beach, this one in Acapulco, which we traveled to by bus.

It was the first time I saw what I believe were semiautomatic machine guns, as the bus was pulled over to the side of the road by men in military-style uniforms – federales? – and the driver paid a bribe to continue on.

And it was the first time I saw a roundabout, although I didn’t know what I was looking at. It was outside the window of our hotel, nine or 10 stories up in central Mexico City. I watched the traffic for the longest time, as drivers worked their way into the large circle and found the street they wanted to exit onto. Traffic was thick, but it moved smoothly. I was impressed. But it didn’t take much.

The first roundabout in McHenry County was built in 2014 at Johnsburg and Chapel Hill roads in downtown Johnsburg, and I have occasion to use it, and I really, really like it. Johnsburg officials like it so much that they have included an aerial shot of it on the village’s Incredible Internet homepage. That’s a testimonial.

Traffic lights are annoying but a necessary and expensive evil in many cases. I really dislike waiting at red lights, which seem to go on forever, even though it’s

‘‘

VIEWS Dick Peterson usually just a couple of minutes. But I want to go.

And roundabouts let you go without having to stop. You need to slow down to enter a roundabout, which takes traffic in a counterclockwise direction to the street you want to take. Sometimes, you have to wait for a car or two coming from the left, but soon enough, you are back in motion, not wasting gas idling at a stoplight.

Another roundabout will be built this year at Charles and Raffel roads in Woodstock, and I plan to drive out of my way to enjoy it, maybe spin around it a couple of times if there’s no traffic and head back home. It’s a busy intersection with a lot of accidents, and the roundabout will make it safer and move traffic more efficiently than a typical stoplight intersection. It saves about a million dollars, too.

Woodstock might become the roundabout capital of McHenry County if plans go through to widen Route 47 through the heart of Woodstock from Route 14 to Charles Road. The plan calls for five – count ’em, five – roundabouts.

I avoid the snarl of traffic that Route 47 so often becomes. Its two lanes of traffic just aren’t enough to handle the volume of cars and trucks that pour through it every day.

Roundabouts can keep you going in the right direction, or you can turn off on the side streets, or you can safely do what amounts to be a U-turn by heading back from where you came in case you missed a business you wanted to stop at. You can’t do that at ordinary intersections.

Instead of avoiding Route 47, I will be enticed to go there just for a spin, literally, on the roundabouts.

Woodstock might become the roundabout capital of McHenry County if plans go through to widen Route 47 through the heart of Woodstock from Route 14 to Charles Road. ”

THE FIGHT CONTINUES

McHenry Township trustee-elect pushes for consolidation or elimination despite finding nails in parking lot

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – For decades, barber Bob Anderson has been waging what was at times a one-man war against the need for township government in Illinois.

Although he excelled at keeping the issue in the public eye – he became the statewide face of the movement to consolidate or eliminate them – success in terms of legislation or election was elusive.

But that cause has advanced in recent years, as voters and homeowners fed up with high property taxes and the state’s worsening economic fortunes have been looking to cut anything and anywhere they can.

And on Tuesday, McHenry Township voters elected Anderson, who wants townships consolidated or eliminated altogether, as a township trustee.

Anderson calls the vote a mandate – the other three Republican trustee candidates who ran with him and also won support consolidation measures.

But some people apparently aren’t happy about his win. He filed a police report after finding nails scattered throughout the parking area of his barber shop.

“Without a question, this represents a shift in the people’s mindsets that we have too many governments, and people are asking why we have townships,” Anderson said.

The new trustees can’t simply vote their government out of existence upon taking their oath – state law, which isn’t amenable to consolidating or eliminating governments in general, doesn’t allow that. But Anderson said he and the trustees plan to use their offices as a bully pulpit to advance the cause with other lawmakers, while making what

ABOVE: Bob Anderson cuts the hair of his son, Chris Anderson, on Thursday. cuts they can now to provide some taxpayer relief.

Townships in Illinois have three statutory requirements under the law – provide general assistance to the needy, maintain township roads and assess property.

Although proponents call township government the most local and responsive form that residents have, opponents such as Anderson allege that townships are no longer necessary and are breeding grounds for

waste, nepotism and patronage.

Illinois has almost 7,000 units of local government, far more than any other state.

Anderson and others have singled out the state’s 1,431 townships as a good place to whittle down that number.

After years of fighting from the outside, Anderson said he needed to actually get elected to the position to be effective.

His previous efforts, while tena-

cious, fell short.

In 1994, Anderson spearheaded an unsuccessful referendum to eliminate the county’s townships the only way that state law allowed – by switching from a county board to a three-member panel of county commissioners. He led an effort in 1998 to hold a referendum abolishing only McHenry Township, which failed as well.

HARVARD

Edward Harvard Holdings yet to contact city about former Motorola plant project

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The company behind the proposed $32 million project at the former Motorola plant has yet to contact the city of Harvard or complete its enterprise zone incentive application, local officials said this week.

Edward Harvard Holdings LLC, owned by Xiao Hua Gong, plans to make smartphones at the vacant campus in Harvard, which has been empty since Motorola closed in 2003. The project would bring about 100 temporary construction jobs to the area and 100 permanent jobs.

The company’s incomplete application – filed by Edward Technology US LLC – states that it will have distribution, a research and development center, customer support, engineering services, telecommunications opera-

tions and a training center on the 1.52 million-square-foot corporate campus at 2001 N. Division St., Harvard.

The incomplete application gives a completion date of May 2017, but the company hasn’t been in contact with the city of Harvard for building permits or anything else. As of Tuesday, the application seeking incentives through the enterprise zone hadn’t been completed, said Charles Eldredge, who heads the Harvard-Woodstock enterprise zone.

Eldredge said at a public meeting last week that the company expects to start construction by May or June and that there will be “significant employment” at the campus by late summer.

Representatives from the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission are concerned about the fate of the William H. Coventry House and Barn on the site. The McHenry County Planning, Environment and Development

Committee recently tabled a resolution that would authorize enforcement of an ordinance that would allow for inspection of the historic landmark property, which is deteriorating.

James McConnell, chairman of the preservation commission, said he wanted the opportunity to discuss the property’s status with Edward Holding before the incentive agreement was in place.

“We can’t talk to them without the passage of this resolution,” he said. “I don’t know what the wish for delay is, unless it’s a wish to kill the whole deal.”

Eldredge said that although he was in favor of restoration of the farmstead, the prospect of bringing jobs to McHenry County was more important in the long run.

Seventy-one point two million dollars. Just think about that number for a second. Let it really sink in. O.K. Ready? That’s how much money the Pink Star Diamond was just sold for at auction on April 4th, setting the record By Karly Bulinski for the most expensive gemstone ever sold at auction! Who was the lucky buyer? We’ll get to that in a minute. First let’s talk a little about the exquisite and rare stone that fetched this huge payout.

The Pink Star, just renamed the CTF Pink, was found in an undetermined location at a mine in South Africa back in 1999. The rough diamond weighed in at 132.50 carats. That’s pretty big, especially for a natural pink diamond! I’d say it’s comparable to the size of a 1-year-old baby’s fist (don’t quote me to that though since I’ve never seen that big of a rough diamond in real life before!). It was cast in epoxy more than 50 times in order to create models that the cutting team experimented on to find the perfect cut. Two years later, they ended up with a 59.60-carat mixed-cut oval flawless, fancy vivid pink natural diamond. To date, the Pink Star is the largest flawless fancy vivid pink diamond that the GIA has ever graded!

The stone was first unveiled to the public in 2003 and made a guest appearance at the Smithsonian and the Natural History Museum in London before being put up on the auction block for the first time in 2013. It sold for $83 million, but the buyer ended up defaulting on the sale Graduate Gemologist Email jewelry questions to: leaving Sotheby’s to put the stone back into their inventory. suzanne@steffansjewelers.com Trying one more time to find the Pink Star a forever home, Sotheby’s put it up for auction in Hong Kong hoping that a new city would bring in or karly@steffansjewelers.com some new and able buyers. After five minutes of frenzied bidding from three different contenders, the final hammer price was set at $72.1 million dollars. Who was the lucky winner…none other than the huge Chinese jewelry giant Chow Tai Fook who also happen to own Hearts on Fire Diamonds (they must have a hankering for perfect diamonds!). Other than renaming the diamond the CTF Pink, Chow Tai Fook has not released any news of what they plan to do with their newest acquisition but hopefully WWW.STEFFANSJEWELERS.COM it’s something spectacular!

69% Yes

No The Borden’s Hebron plant stood north of Route 173 and west of Church Street. Now it is an empty lot. The demand for milk in the 1870s was met not by cows grazing in green fields, but rather by cows that were kept in the lower levels of more than 100 breweries that flourished in the city. These cows were fed refuse from the brewing process and were kept in deplorable conditions, raising questions about the safety and nutritious nature of the milk.

So entrepreneurial farmers in McHenry County capitalized. Rather than simply growing corn, they became dairy farmers – shipping cans of raw milk to Chicago via the Chicago and North Western railroad. Gail Borden, an Elgin tinkerer, discovered a condensing process that allowed milk to be canned and kept for years without spoiling. Residents in communities across McHenry County were amazed to see large factories, such as this one in Hebron from the 1890s, being erected in their communities.

Untold gallons of raw milk came into these plants, which provided numerous employment opportunities to local residents and good money to area farmers. The finished product was then easily shipped to market along the rail lines, which served markets as far away as Turkey. Today, except for the Dean’s plants in Chemung and Huntley, it is almost impossible to imagine that such massive buildings dominated communities as small as Alden or Hebron.

Meat & Potato Eatery owners plan to expand

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – Meat and potato lovers visiting Carpentersville likely will have a new restaurant to try this summer.

The owners of Meat & Potato Eatery in McHenry are looking to open a second location in Carpentersville.

The Carpentersville restaurant is expected to open in either July or August at 2258 Randall Road. The building on Randall formerly was occupied

by Garibaldi’s Italian Eatery, which closed in 2011.

It is owned by brothers Ted and Andy Zatos, who also are the owners of Brunch Cafe and former owners of Kojak’s restaurant in Cary, which they owned for about 16 years. “[Meat & Potatoes Eatery] is just a new concept we’ve been working on,”

Ted Zatos said. “We’ve been doing the quick service for years, and we wanted to do more comfort food with Meat & Potatoes.”

Continued from page A4 with staff, it will be much easier to have a discussion with them on the future of Coventry,” he said. “Frankly, we don’t feel the people that have been doing this on behalf of the Edward group have been focused on this at all because it is so minor in comparison to their tens of millions of dollar investment.”

In its incentive application, Edward Technology left several lines blank, including one that asked for the name of the contractor the company planned to use on the project. The company estimates it will spend $17 million in remodeling and $15 million in capital equipment.

City Administrator Dave Nelson said it was likely that the company would need to contact the city for permits, dependent on what they intend to do.

“If they are just hooking up machines and doing simple things, then no,” he said. “But even if they are doing any kind of electrical work, then yes, my guys will want to take a look.

[For a project like this] yes, I would think so, but I don’t know for sure because I haven’t seen anything yet.”

The name of the business owner on the application is listed as Edward America Holdings, which incorporat-

ed in May 2016 in Delaware, according to Delaware state records. It lists its business address at the Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange St., Wilmington.

The building is home to about 300,000 other firms, including Fortune 500 companies such as Apple and Wal-Mart. The site is popular because of a tax loophole that allows company to shift revenues to holding companies in Delaware and avoid taxes in the state where the business is located.

Xiao Hua Gong is listed as the only manager of the Edward America Holdings. He also is the only member of Edward Harvard Holdings, the company that owns the Harvard campus. Edward Technology US lists its only member as Edward America Holdings.

Edward America Holdings lists its address as 600 Town Center Drive, Dearborn, Michigan. That is the address of the Edward Hotel and Convention Center, formerly the Royal Dearborn Hotel and Convention Center, which overlooks Ford Motor Co.’s world headquarters. He bought the property for $9.3 million in April 2016.

The Harvard corporate campus has been vacant since 2003. Two company representatives listed on the enterprise zone application did not respond to a request for comment.

10 SPRING GROVE

Injured army specialist to receive new home

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – On Saturday afternoon, Army Spc. Anthony “Tony” Chobanov and his family stood on the lot that soon will include their new home.

The site is near the end of a culde-sac in Spring Grove and will give Chobanov, who suffers from a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, the space he needs to relax, he said.

The family of six currently rents in Naperville, but in May they’ll live rent-free, thanks to the Arlington Heights-based nonprofit A Soldier’s Journey Home.

“I missed a lot of my kids’ life, and to be able to come here and maybe take a breath for a minute and spend some time getting to their games and their recitals and things like that is going to be a huge deal for me,” Chobanov said.

Chobanov served in Afghanistan and as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Each explosion he endured during deployment caused different

newborn, Tony – Chobanov was working seven days a week. When he tried to find better jobs, he had trouble.

“I was in a hole that I couldn’t get out of,” Chobanov said. “… Almost every job I’ve applied for has asked about PTSD, and you kind of get a label. And I didn’t know what we were going to do.”

Chobanov said he felt as if he was holding his family back, but with their new home, his wife and children will have the life they deserve.

This will be the first home A Soldier’s Journey Home program has built in Illinois.

The organization started after the 9/11 attacks and is dedicated to building homes for severely injured members of the military, A Soldier’s Journey Home President Mike Fitzpatrick has said.

McHenry School District 15 board member-elect

DRIVE GREEN EVENT years and said he has seen the district make great strides throughout his tenure, including recently implementing science, technology, engineering and mathematics labs and innovation centers for students.

“There’s a lot of stuff we’ve done as a district the last 10 years to really improve the educational offerings to the community, and I think we’d all like to see that continued,” Miller said.

Stauner was appointed in October when a board member left the position.

“I just think maybe the other group was promising something that I don’t know if the people were sure would be obtainable, and if it was, how was it going to impact the quality of the schools?” Stauner said. “I think we make good financial decisions for not only the kids, but also the taxpayers of the district, and [the voters] saw that.”

Opposing “The Fiscal Five,” the cut-taxes slate ran for fiscal responsibility, transparency and academic excellence.

Those running were newcomers Hugo Mercado, Kevin McConville, Jan Riemann, Janet Szymkowiak, Mark Jaeger and incumbent Erik Sivertsen. Only Jaeger and Sivertsen received enough votes to be elected,

McHENRY – With five incumbents ultimately emerging victorious on election day, many of the returning members have said McHenry School District 15 will continue on the right path.

Two separate slates ran in the race for six open seats on the board leading up to the April 4 election. All but one of the seats on the board were up for election this year.

Kim Qualls, Amanda Geyer, Patrick Miller, Matt Stauner, Mark Jaeger and Erik Sivertsen were elected Tuesday.

The slates vying for control of the board were “The Fiscal Five of McHenry Schools” and a “Cut D15 Taxes” slate. “The Fiscal Five” consisted of incumbents Qualls, Geyer, Miller, Stauner and Paul Santopadre.

Four of those five were re-elected, according to unofficial results.

The slate ran on a platform of providing students with the best education possible while being responsible to taxpayers.

Geyer and Qualls both were re-elected to four-year terms.

Qualls is no stranger to public education, as she has been on the board the past 13 years and has been the principal of Alden-Hebron Elementary School for the past nine.

Qualls said the board has proved to be dedicated to providing quality education while remaining fiscally responsible to the community. Some of the tax-cut slate’s proposals would have resulted in a decrease in important services and programs, she said.

“I think our community has spoken and said that these programs are important to us as community members,” Qualls said.

Echoing Qualls, Geyer, who was re-elected to a second term, said she ran again to keep the district moving forward.

“I moved to this community because we have good schools; I don’t want to see them falter,” Geyer said.

“I have had many sleepless nights worrying about what’s going to happen with our district, and I’m glad knowing now that our district is going to go in the right direction.”

Because of previous resignations, Miller and Stauner were re-elected to unexpired two-year terms.

Miller has been on the board for 10

“I moved to this community because we have good schools; I don’t want to see them falter. I have had many sleepless nights worrying about what’s going to happen with our district, and I’m glad knowing now that our district is going to go in the right direction.”

“I still want to continue watching out for taxpayers,” Sivertsen said.

“The last four years, I’ve been the one to always question when there’s something that looks out of place, even if that’s not very popular with some of the other board members.

And I plan to continue doing that and

Jaeger was the only newcomer to be elected onto the board, according to unofficial results.

Jaeger said his goal is “to accomplish common-sense spending.”

“I’d like to see the taxes drop,” Jaeger said. “I’m a precinct committeeman. So when I go knocking on doors, asking for people to vote for somebody in an election, the first thing a large majority of the people say to me is, ‘What can you do to drop taxes?’ So hopefully, we can get them lowered.”

Huntley chocolate store seeks liquor license

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Those who like to drink a glass of wine while eating chocolate soon might be able to do so at Morkes Chocolates in Huntley.

Owners Claudia and Rick Kendzior appeared before the Huntley Committee of the Whole on Thursday to ask for a Class A liquor license, which would allow them to sell alcohol in gift baskets as well as serve alcohol in the store and at its outdoor tables.

“It’s really a beautiful place to sit in the park, so if we could have a glass of wine and a flight of chocolate, I think it would really add to our business and to the downtown area,” Claudia Kendzior said.

The store, 11801 Main St., opened in June 2015 in Huntley after moving from Algonquin.

The Kendziors said that if the license is approved, it likely would take at least two months to train employees before they could start serving alcohol. owners said.

its exact boundaries with the city, to hold a referendum to eliminate it, which they did in 2014. It was only the third time in state history, and the first time in 82 years, that voters eliminated a township.

A bill that would allow other townships that are entirely or substantially coterminous with a municipality to be eliminated is making its way through the General Assembly.

Anderson said he intends to work with new County Board Chairman Jack Franks, who as a state lawmaker championed consolidation, to generate support for figuring out how to change the law, and he also intends to contact

state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, and other state legislators.

“I think it’s time to move this forward more than a baby step, and I think the County Board has a tremendous influence when it comes to how to clarify these laws,” Anderson said.

He filed a report Thursday with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office about the nails, some of which he said were placed behind customers’ tires.

But he said the nails are a sign that he’s succeeding.

“The nails tell me the system is threatened here, and they’re going to threaten me to not move forward,” he said. “I’m moving forward.”

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Although state law allows townships to be consolidated, that’s much easier said than done in political reality, which McHenry County proved two years ago.

A group of officials, supported by high-ranking GOP officials, launched a 2015 initiative to ask the McHenry County Board to hold referendums to reduce the county’s 17 townships to eight. A slapdash plan assembled by a task force that barely reached any

kind of consensus was killed by the County Board in a 13-9 vote.

Again, state law proved to be the biggest deal killer – if two townships vote to consolidate, property taxes would increase for the township with the lower of the two levies, meaning taxpayers with the larger levy would get relief at the expense of the other.

But state lawmakers in recent years, many of whom got their start in local government, have started overcoming some of their historical aversion to passing laws to make consolidation easier.

Lawmakers allowed voters in Evanston Township, which shares

Alcohol would be served in glassware to prevent people from walking off with it, and at busy events such as A Very Merry Huntley, people would not be allowed to walk outside with drinks, Claudia Kendzior said.

Huntley Mayor Charles Sass said he didn’t think underage drinking at Morkes would be a problem.

“It’s up to them to monitor it, be-

cause if something does happen, they could lose [their liquor license,]” Sass said. “So that’s incentive for them to keep an eye on it, too.”

Owners said they have no intention of requesting video gaming.

Trustees approved the idea, and the item will come before the Village Board for approval at its next meeting, 7 p.m. Thursday at Huntley Village Hall, 10987 Main St. “We’re excited,” Claudia Kendzior said after the meeting. “And we really appreciate Huntley letting us do this.”

26 LAKE IN THE HILLS

GiGi’s Playhouse to host fashion show fundraiser

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The public is invited April 23 to attend GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County’s Spring Fashion Show Luncheon.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Boulder Ridge Country Club, 350 Boulder Drive, Lake in the Hills. All proceeds will benefit programs and services provided by GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County, located in McHenry.

During the event, people with Down syndrome will walk down a runway, showing off the latest fashions to an audience.

“The event is to celebrate and honor people with Down syndrome and give them the chance to be in the spotlight and have a lot of fun, as well,” said Scott Perlman, a GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County board member.

Perlman said this will be the organization’s fourth year hosting the fashion show fundraiser, and last year’s event was able to raise about $24,000.

After the show, GiGi’s will hand out awards, including one for the “Superhero of the Year.”

“This year, we are actually honoring not one person, rather the entire McHenry High School football team, because they are incredible to us throughout the year,” Perlman said.

Individual tickets for the fashion show cost $50 for adults and $40 for children 10 and younger. Groups of 10 can buy tickets for $600. For those who wish to be a “Hero Sponsor” – which includes four tickets to the show, an individual company display, a corporate gift and recognition in the program booklet – tickets cost $2,500.

GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County is a nonprofit funded only through donations and has about a $100,000 operating budget a year. In March, the McHenry nonprofit hosted a special event to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day to create more awareness about what Down syndrome is.

To learn about Down syndrome and future events, call the educational center at 815-385-7529.

• NEW HOME

Continued from page A10 foot ranch already has been laid out, and the home will be built from May 11 to May 20 with the help of more than 100 volunteers, project leaders said.

“We want them to have a great place for them to raise their family, and Spring Grove is just a perfect fit,” project director Chuck Frankewicz said.

He and construction coordinator Dave Wietrzak credited the success of the project to the overwhelming support of the Spring Grove and surrounding community.

The land was donated by First Midwest Bank, and the project was supported by other donors, including American Electric Construction Co.; AMB Roofing and Sheetmetal; Duane Blanton Plumbing, Sewer and Drainage Inc.; Manusos General Contracting Inc.; and more.

Joe and Jamie McKeown, general contractors for the project with Manusos, live in the same neighborhood the Chobanovs will.

“It’s just to give back to these people who have given their lives for us,” Joe McKeown said of why he volunteered. “Tony’s one of the lucky ones to come back and have a beautiful family, and so we’re going to be his new local family now.”

Landlords still paid amid kids’ lead poisoning The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Taxpayers still are paying landlords as dozens of children are being poisoned by brain-damaging lead while living in homes and apartments declared safe by the Chicago Housing Authority.

Federal law requires the CHA to inspect subsidized homes before families move in and at least once a year afterward.

But a newspaper analysis showed that for the past seven years, at least one child has been diagnosed with lead poisoning in 187 homes the housing

authority approved for occupancy, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The analysis found that the CHA paid the landlords of the hazardous homes over $5.6 million in federal rent subsidies, with nearly $1 million of that delivered to landlords who were facing housing code violations or lawsuits regarding deteriorating lead-based paint.

Young kids remain at risk because the housing inspectors only check visually for cracked and peeling leadbased paint, instead of confirming hazards with dust swabs or hand-held scanners.

The CHA does not consider lead paint a “life-threatening” hazard that landlords must immediately fix in order to collect taxpayer subsidies through the Section 8 voucher program.

The majority of subsidized rentals are in low-income, predominantly African-American neighborhoods on the West and South sides of the city. Harvard University sociologist studying the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side calls lead paint a “pathway through which racial inequality literally gets into your body.”

Witness, cop give different accounts of teen’s death

CHICAGO – A woman has testified that a Chicago teenager didn’t appear to be holding a gun when a police officer shot him in the back in 2013, contrary to the officer’s account.

Laticia Whitehead’s videotaped deposition was played for jurors on Friday in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Patricia Green, whose son Christian Green was 17 when he died, the Chicago Tribune reported. The judge allowed Whitehead’s recorded deposition to be played for the jury because Whitehead was otherwise unavailable to testify, records show.

Whitehead said she saw the black teenager sprinting through a vacant lot toward her South Side apartment on the Fourth of July as a police SUV pulled up and an officer leaned out the window, shooting his gun and striking the teen in the back.

“They didn’t have to do that to him,” she said through tears. “He was just running.”

She said that after Christian Green jerked and fell to the ground, the officer got out of the vehicle, put his foot on the teen’s motionless body and started yelling at him for running.

Earlier Friday, jurors heard a starkly different account from the officer, Robert Gonzalez. Gonzalez testified that Green ignored orders to drop his gun and instead pointed at Gonzalez and his partner before Gonzalez opened fire.

“I thought I was gonna die,” Gonzalez

they are working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on a new “proactive approach” to the inspections. But the agency’s renewed guidelines for the voucher program in February showed no changes to its inspection procedures.

“By failing to do anything about the lead, they are making crippled children who are going to grow up to be crippled adults,” said Tolanda McMullen, the mother of a child who was poisoned while living in a home approved by inspectors. “They don’t even have a chance because it was taken from them when they were babies.”

Green died on the way to a hospital. A bullet had struck his back and pierced his heart and lungs. His gun was found in a vacant lot 75 feet from where he fell, according to court records.

Surveillance video from a nearby liquor store played Tuesday showed Green fumble a gun, then double back to pick it up before taking off up the street during the chase.

In her deposition, Whitehead said Green didn’t appear to be carrying a weapon when she saw Gonzalez shoot.

Prosecutors seek 7 years for ex-Chicago schools chief

CHICAGO – Federal prosecutors are recommending a 7½-year prison sentence for a former Chicago Public Schools CEO who pleaded guilty in a

kickback scheme.

In a court filing Friday, prosecutors said Barbara Byrd-Bennett knew that the district financially was troubled when she arrived in 2012 and still worked to “enrich herself and her co-schemers at the expense” of students, teachers and Chicago residents.

Byrd-Bennett pleaded guilty in 2015 to federal wire fraud. She’s accused of helping steer more than $20 million worth of no-bid contracts to education companies in exchange for bribes and kickbacks.

Defense attorneys sought a prison sentence of 3½ years and acknowledged the “extraordinary breach of trust.”

She’s expected to be sentenced later this month.

Two others have pleaded guilty in the scheme.

NEIU to shut down for 3 days amid budget crisis

CHICAGO – Northeastern Illinois University will shut down for three days this month because of a major shortfall stemming from the state’s budget crisis.

The Chicago-based school announced Friday that it’ll close all locations and continue an employee furlough program on April 11, April 12 and May 1 in addition to canceling classes. The move is an attempt to help make up for state support stalled amid Illinois’ two-year budget logjam.

The closure will affect about 10,000 students and 1,100 staff members. Services such as computer labs and child care also will be unavailable.

Interim President Richard Helldobler said he doesn’t know how much longer the university can survive this “financial starvation.”

Lawmakers send nurse protection bill to Rauner

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois General Assembly has sent legislation to Gov. Bruce Rauner that would prohibit further privatization of health care workers in state prisons. Lawmakers sent the measure to Rauner on Friday. It won House approval a day earlier, 68-42.

Rep. Jerry Costello is the Smithton Democrat who sponsored it. It is in response to the Rauner administration’s announcement that it would lay of 124 state-employed nurses in June.

Rauner would replace them with nurses hired by the private health care contractor.

Critics said there’s a nursing shortage and prison jobs are harder to fill. They said Wexford Health Sources can’t fill the vacant slots it has now.

After strikes, U.S. vows to keep pressure on Syria

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. is vowing to keep up 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 on Friday 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.

A key test of whether the relationship can be salvaged comes next week when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson becomes the first Trump Cabinet member to visit Russia.

Tillerson said he sees no reason for retaliation from Russia for the U.S. missile strikes.

Russia maintains a close political and military alliance with the Assad government and has been implicated in many of the attacks against Syrians opposed to Assad’s rule, though Moscow adamantly denies such claims.

In an interview to air Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Tillerson said Russians were not targeted by the strikes. He also said the top U.S. priority in the region hasn’t changed and remained the defeat of Islamic State militants.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson also had planned to visit Russia this coming week, but decided Saturday to cancel the trip because of the fast-moving events in Syria. Johnson, who condemned Moscow’s continued defense of Assad, said Tillerson will be able to give a “clear and coordinated message to the Russians.”

At the United Nations on Friday, 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.

The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, said the world is waiting for the Russian government “to act responsibly in Syria” and “to reconsider its misplaced alliance with Bashar Assad.”

Trump spoke by telephone Friday with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, who reaffirmed strong support for the military strike and thanked the U.S. president for his “courageous” action, according to statements issued Saturday by the White House and the official Saudi Press Agency.

Saudi Arabia, one of the most vehement opponents of Assad, said the missile barrage was the right response to “the crimes of this regime to its people in light of the failure of the international community to stop it.”

The Turkish foreign minister, whose country is a strong backer of the Syrian opposition, said the U.S. missile strikes were not enough.

Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saturday that the U.S. intervention was only “cosmetic” unless it removes Assad from power. He said the most ideal process would be a political solution that leads to a transitional government.

FBI reviews handling of terrorism-related tips

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The FBI has been reviewing the handling of thousands of terrorism-related tips and leads from the past three years to make sure they were properly investigated and no obvious red flags were missed, The Associated Press has learned.

The review follows attacks by people who were once on the FBI’s radar but who have been accused in the past 12 months of massacring innocents in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, injuring people on the streets of New York City, and gunning down travelers in a Florida airport. In each case, the suspects had been determined not to warrant continued law enforcement scrutiny months and sometimes years before the attacks.

The internal audit, which has not been previously reported, began this year and is being conducted in FBI field offices across the country. A senior federal law enforcement official described the review as an effort to “err on the side of caution.”

The audit is essentially a review of records to ensure proper FBI procedures were followed. It’s an acknowledgment of the challenge the FBI has faced, particularly in recent years, in predict-

AP file photo

FBI Director James Comey testifies March on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. ing which of the tens of thousands of tips the bureau receives annually might materialize one day into a viable threat.

Investigations that go dormant because of a lack of evidence can resurface instantly when a subject once under scrutiny commits violence or displays fresh signs of radicalization. FBI Director James Comey has likened the difficulty to finding not only a needle in a haystack but determining which piece of hay may become a needle.

Although there’s no indication of significant flaws in how terrorism inqui-

ries are opened and closed, the review is a way for the FBI to “refine and adapt to the threat, and part of that is always making sure you cover your bases,” said the law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter by name.

The pace of the FBI’s counterterrorism work accelerated with the rise of the Islamic State group, which in 2014 declared the creation of its so-called caliphate in Syria and Iraq and has used sophisticated propaganda to lure disaffected Westerners to its cause. By the summer of 2015, Comey has said, the FBI was “strapped” in keeping tabs on the group’s American sympathizers and identifying those most inclined to commit violence.

Social media outreach by IS has appealed to people not previously known to the FBI but also enticed some who once had been under scrutiny to get “back in the game,” said Seamus Hughes, deputy director of George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.

“The fact that there was a physical location and a caliphate announced, it helped kind of drive folks back in when they might have drifted away,” Hughes said.

The review covers inquiries the FBI internally classifies as “assessments”

– the lowest level, least intrusive and most elementary stage of a terror-related inquiry – and is examining ones from the past three years to make sure all appropriate investigative avenues were followed, according to a former federal law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the process.

Assessments are routinely opened upon a tip – whether from someone concerned about things such as activity in a neighbor’s garage, a co-worker’s comments or expressions of support for IS propaganda – and are cataloged by the FBI. The bureau receives tens of thousands of tips a year, and averages more than 10,000 assessments annually.

FBI guidelines meant to balance national security with civil liberties protections impose restrictions on the steps agents may take during the assessment phase.

Agents, for instance, may analyze information from government databases and open-source internet searches, and can conduct interviews. But they cannot turn to more intrusive techniques, such as requesting a wiretap or internet communications, without higher levels of approval and a more solid basis to suspect a crime or national security threat.

STOCKHOLM – One brutal attack by a man who drove a stolen truck into shoppers in Stockholm has brought Sweden’s open-door immigration policies under increased scrutiny – and raised the question if Swedish society, considered democratic and egalitarian, has failed to integrate its newcomers.

The suspect in Friday’s attack, a 39-year-old native of Uzbekistan who has been arrested by police, had been on authorities’ radar previously but they dismissed him as a “marginal character.” It was unclear whether he was also a Swedish citizen or resident or even how long he’d been in the country.

The attack killed four people and wounded 15. In response, hundreds gathered Saturday at the site of the crash in the Swedish capital, building a heartbreaking wall of flowers on the aluminum fence put up to keep them away from the site’s broken glass and twisted metal. Some hugged police officers nearby.

“We have been too liberal to take in people who perhaps we thought would have good minds. But we are too good-hearted,” said Stockholm resident Ulov Ekdahl, a 67-year-old commercial

partner – Asa Romson, broke into tears as she announced measures to deter asylum-seekers in a reversal of Sweden’s welcoming policy toward people fleeing war and persecution. She described it as “a terrible decision,” admitting the proposals would make life even more precarious for refugees.

On Saturday, Lofven laid flowers at the truck crash site, declaring Monday a national day of mourning, with a minute of silence at noon. He urged citizens to “get through this” and strolled through the streets of the capital to chat with them.

No one has claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack, but Sweden’s police chief said Saturday that authorities were confident they had detained the man who carried it out.

Uzbekistan and other former Soviet Central Asian republics have long been a fertile recruiting ground for Islamic militant groups, notably the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which formed in 1998. Originally allied with al-Qaida, many of the group’s fighters have switched to Islamic State group affiliation.

Russian officials said the suicide bomber who attacked the St. Petersburg subway April 3 was a native of Kyrgyzstan.

OUR VIEW

Don’t forget the taxpayers Congratulations to the winners of the Tuesday’s election and to the others who sought to make differences in their communities, on school boards, library boards or in other capacities.

While a 15 percent McHenry County voter turnout is still abysmal, it’s an improvement over the trend of about 10 percent over the last few local election cycles. Here’s hoping that an awakening of sorts is taking place.

Anecdotally, there were more candidates explicitly running on platforms advocating property tax cuts. That’s also a positive trend. Some were successful and many others weren’t, but it’s important that property taxes are a large part of the local election discussion.

Just saying that you’re going to cut taxes doesn’t necessarily make one the best candidate. One vote on a school board or a city council is just that. What kind of leadership qualities does the candidate possess? Let’s hear some creative and realistic solutions. While the bulk of our property taxes go toward public schools, is cutting taxes the only thing that matters there? No, of course not.

We’re expecting these conversations to continue over the next election cycles, and there will need to be more conversations. School board candidates supported by teachers’ unions did particularly well Tuesday night, and while teachers certainly care about much more than their own paychecks, they probably don’t represent the interest of the retired empty nester who’s struggling to pay property taxes.

What’s fairly obvious is that teachers do vote, and they’ll vote in their interest. Why wouldn’t they?

Regardless of campaign platforms, incoming school board members, village trustees, mayors and others have a responsibility to put taxpayers on the top of their list of concerns. We are woefully overburdened with property taxes in McHenry County, and leaders in these positions are among those who have some control over that burden.

Those who stayed home from the polls while complaining about their high property tax bills should also take heed. While their complaints are heard, if their votes aren’t counted they’re still pushing a boulder uphill. Beyond property taxes, what residents want and deserve are leaders who are transparent, who listen to their interests, who communicate with constituents and who understand that they took a position to serve the public. There will be disagreements, but members of the public should be treated with courtesy and dignity and decisions should be made as openly as possible.

Many towns and boards are looking forward to fresh starts, and we wish all of our taxing bodies and members new and old much success in the coming years.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Containing the fallout from the filibuster No one should be happy about what happened in the Senate on Thursday. We do not just mean that, as many senators have recognized, both sides will at some point regret eliminating the filibuster on Supreme Court nominees. Senators of both parties also should take no pride in the role they played in moving their institution to this point. Both sides claim with a straight face that they were forced into this descent by the relentless and one-sided unreason of their opponents.

Now the question will be whether senators can, against all trends, find a way to avoid doing yet more damage.

Democrats, now claiming to be the injured party, unreasonably obstructed well-qualified judicial appointments of President George W. Bush. The judicial filibuster survived then only because a bipartisan group of 14 senators struck a deal in 2005 that allowed for some nominees to be approved but preserved the minority’s right to demand 60 votes for appointees they particularly disliked.

The deal did not lower tensions for long. Republicans turned up the dial on obstruc-

tion during President Barack Obama’s years, halting even moderate appeals court nominees. The Democrats responded in 2013 with the “nuclear option,” eliminating the filibuster on all non-Supreme Court judicial nominees to push Obama’s picks through by majority vote.

Though the GOP obstruction was deeply unfair, Democrats were deeply mistaken to change the Senate in this unilateral way.

After they regained control of the Senate in 2014, Republicans refused to give Judge Merrick Garland even a hearing after Obama nominated him to replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Democrats retaliated this week by filibustering President Donald Trump’s pick for that seat, Neil Gorsuch. Another bad call; but it’s a bit rich to hear Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., bemoan the Gorsuch filibuster as the first ever when he didn’t allow Garland a vote. On Thursday, Republicans retaliated in turn, deploying their own nuclear option and eliminating the filibuster on Supreme Court appointees, too, in order to

push Gorsuch through. Another fateful mistake: From here, the judicial appointment process will become even more partisan.

“This is precisely the outcome our Founders feared, when lifetime appointments to our highest court, which touches every aspect of American life, become just another partisan exercise,” Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said before the vote. “If you don’t like the ring of Justice Gorsuch, how do you feel about Justice Pruitt, or Justice Sessions. If we continue down this path, both could be confirmed with a slim majority vote.”

McConnell insists that eliminating the filibuster on judicial nominees does not mean the Senate will eventually ditch the 60-vote threshold on legislation, too. Well, best of luck. Though lately used with unwarranted frequency, the ability to filibuster bills tends to force those in power to moderate their goals and seek policies that can attract at least some buy-in from the other side. In an era of heightening partisanship, that moderating force is all the more important.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Reusable bags make difference

To the Editor: The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County BYOBag project is grateful to the towns in McHenry County that have proclaimed BYOBag months since 2014 and to the county administration for declaring August 2016 as BYOBag month countywide. We commend Woodstock for their yearlong BYOBag campaign, which culminated in the distribution of thousands of reusable bags to residents.

I am confident the importance of reducing plastic bag use, which contributes to plastic pollution problems in our county, will continue to be center stage as it has been nationwide.

As the BYOBag committee moves forward, our next step is to introduce an ordinance to McHenry County towns and cities, charging a fee for plastic and paper bags, which has proven by examples around the country to greatly reduce the use of plastic bags by encouraging shoppers to bring their own, thereby protecting our land, water and wildlife.

And, every plastic bag snagged in a

VIEWS Austin Berg looking for a place to succeed, they don’t need to go very far. Wisconsin and Indiana have hit a new all-time high for the number of people working. Their combined employment is now greater than the number of people working in Illinois, a testament to those states’ rapid recoveries from the Great Recession, and a far cry from the landscape just 10 years ago.

In 2007, Illinois had 370,000 more people working than the Hoosier and Badger states combined. That lead has disappeared. And hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans have disappeared with it.

Unsurprisingly, the flow of Illinoisans toward both of these neighboring states has surged.

Indiana gained 20,000 Illinoisans on net in 2015, the most recent year of data available. From 2006 to 2015, Illinois lost more than 119,000 people to Indiana on net. That’s equivalent to Indiana annexing the entire city of Peoria.

Illinois also suffered a net loss of more than 11,000 people to Wisconsin in 2015, and nearly 86,000 people over the preceding decade. That’s almost as if the entire city of Waukegan moved 15 miles up the shoreline.

tree, clogging a storm drain, gumming up recycling equipment and blowing freely through our towns costs towns and residents money. A fee for bags at checkout is not a tax but a cost that, if an individual chooses to pay it, could be returned to the community through funding environmental causes at the discretion of each town and/or subsidize the cost of plastic and paper bags that stores will face if shoppers choose not to bring their own.

The choice is ours and the results are clear: the environment will be protected when one chooses to BYOBag. Cynthia Kanner

Politicians aren’t listening

To the Editor: Our democracy is a wonderful thing, especially if you’re a politician. They say they want to hear from us, but for many, it seems as though that only applies if we tell them what they want to hear.

We’ve asked our representatives to declare opposition to the Great Lakes Ba-

There is some good news for Illinoisans: The state now has more payroll jobs than ever, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But it’s a question of where those jobs are being created that should concern political leaders.

Manufacturing workers like Schock, for example, are being pummeled.

Illinois has regained barely a sliver of the manufacturing jobs that evaporated during the Great Recession, and it’s lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs since the turn of the century. There are now far more jobs in sectors such as state and local government, leisure and hospitality, and business and professional services than in manufacturing. It didn’t used to be that way.

Indiana and Wisconsin, however, are seeing strong manufacturing comebacks. Both states have recovered a larger share of their manufacturing jobs than Illinois, and manufacturing workers see higher wages than their Illinois counterparts, when adjusting for cost of living.

The policy differences between Illinois and these states are obvious.

But Illinois state politicians seem hellbent on ignoring them.

Wisconsin’s property taxes are at their lowest levels in more than 70 years, and the state cut income taxes in 2013 and 2014. Indiana voters added property tax caps to the state constitution in 2010.

Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country, and the costliest tax burden in the nation, according to a recent report from consumer finance company WalletHub. Despite lower tax burdens, Indiana and Wisconsin have state budget surpluses.

Illinois has billion-dollar deficits each year.

Indiana and Wisconsin have passed sweeping reforms to collective bargaining and workers’ compensation.

Illinois is home to the highest workers’ compensation costs in the Midwest, and collective bargaining rules that have led to exorbitant pay and perks in local governments.

Wisconsin became a Right-to-Work state in 2015. Indiana became a Rightto-Work state in 2012.

Illinois is a forced-union state, and is now surrounded by Right-to-Work states.

These differences and more expose a glaring lack of self-awareness among Illinois’ political class. In ignoring the success stories just beyond their borders, state lawmakers ignore the plight of their own people.

“I feel like a dog whose owner has died.”

Rick Schock was among 800 Caterpillar employees in Aurora who heard news in March of mass layoffs affecting their jobs. He’s a local millwright union member. And he’s been obsessed with his trade ever since his neighbor fixed the drive shaft on Schock’s first car.

But now he feels lost.

“Everyone just looks very defeated,” he said.

Schock and his coworkers aren’t alone.

Caterpillar’s woes are a small, unique part of a larger jobs picture that includes flat-lining wages and a shortage of opportunity in Illinois.

There are still 170,000 fewer people working in the Land of Lincoln since before the Great Recession. Illinois is one of only a handful of states where the working population hasn’t recovered.

So what happens when there’s no opportunity? People pack up and search elsewhere. Multiple different data sources – including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, IRS and Census Bureau – show the parade of Illinoisans leaving to other states is led by working-age adults, not retired snowbirds.

People in their prime earning years are leaving Illinois fastest.

That’s a big problem for the long-term prospects of the state.

And if workers like Schock are

Mission nearly impossible: Finding home to buy

By ALEX VEIGA

The Associated Press Anyone eager to buy a home this spring probably has reasons to feel good. Job growth has been solid. Average pay is rising. And mortgage rates, even after edging up of late, are still near historic lows.

And then there’s the bad news: Just try to find a house.

The national supply of homes for sale hasn’t been this thin in nearly 20 years.

And over the past year, the steepest drop in supply has occurred among homes that are typically most affordable for first-time buyers and in markets where prices have risen sharply.

In markets like San Diego, Boston and Seattle, competition for a dwindling supply has escalated along with pressure to offer more money and accept less favorable terms.

“Sellers will have the edge again this year,” said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist for Trulia, a real estate data provider. “Homebuyers are really going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as housing choice is concerned.”

The intensity of the competition this spring has surprised even sellers like Kathleen Mulcahy, a 37-year-old product manager in Seattle.

Within a week of listing her one-bedroom, one-bath condo, Mulcahy received 21 offers – all above her asking price of $398,000. Most of the offers came with built-in triggers to automatically rise in case a rival bidder sweetened a bid. In the end, she accepted an offer of $500,000 – all cash.

“A lot more than I expected,” Mulcahy said.

Yet the changed landscape cuts both ways: Facing higher prices and competition herself, Mulcahy has decided for now to put off buying another home.

Kathleen Mulcahy stands in her recently sold one-bedroom condo, on which she received nearly two dozen offers and sold for more than $100,00 over her asking price, in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Many would-be buyers, especially in the big cities, will be wading into a market that’s crowded with rival buyers and constrained by the lowest inventory of homes for sale in nearly two decades. That severe imbalance between supply and demand favors sellers, but also gives homeowners little incentive to part with their properties.

“There’s very little available, and it’s just too expensive right now, so I’m going to wait,” she said. “I’ll probably rent for two or three years.”

About 1.75 million homes were for sale nationally at the end of February, according to the National Association of Realtors. That’s down 6.4 percent from a year earlier and only slightly up from January, when listings reached their lowest point since the association began tracking them in 1999. All told, the supply of homes for sale has fallen on an annual basis for the past 21 months.

Among the factors that have fueled the decline in homes for sale: • Since 2008, the average time homeowners have stayed in their houses before selling has doubled to nearly eight years, according to Attom Data Solutions.

• Many homeowners aren’t selling for fear they wouldn’t find a new home

they would like and could afford. Some who had locked in ultra-low fixed mortgage rates may be reluctant to take on a new loan at a higher rate. Others may wish to sell but can’t because they own one of the 3.2 million homes worth less than what’s owed on their mortgage.

• Some homeowners own other properties they rent out and have little incentive to give up the steady rental income, especially while they’re also benefiting from rising home values.

• Investors, who typically keep properties for disproportionately long periods, own a larger share of houses. Between 2006 and 2016, the share of U.S. single-family houses and condos owned by investors averaged around 30 percent, according to Attom, and reached 35 percent last year.

Nor are builders replenishing the stock of new homes fast enough. Though the pace of building has been rising, it

has yet to make up for years of sluggish construction growth that followed the housing bust. Builders complain that they can’t build more homes because of a lack of ready-to-build land, costly regulations and a chronic shortage of skilled construction workers.

“We’re building homes now at a 65 percent of the rate we have historically,” McLaughlin said. “The long-term solution to this scenario is building new homes.”

Despite the scant supply, U.S. home sales are expected to rise this year, economists say. Fueled by job growth, pay raises and still-low loan rates – and perhaps fearful of being left out as more homes are snapped up and prices rise further – many people are looking to buy.

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes surged 5.4 percent in February from a year earlier, according to the NAR. In January 2016, 16.5 percent of the homes on the market were sold.

This January, it was 19 percent, according to Trulia.

As prices have risen in response, so have the financial obstacles to homeownership. The median sales price has surged 7.7 percent from a year ago to $228,400, more than double the pace of average pay gains. And qualifying for increasingly expensive homes will become even harder should mortgage rates continue to rise this year, as many economists predict. The average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage recently hit 4.1 percent; last year, it averaged 3.65.

The homes that are on the market are less affordable to a growing proportion of the population, according to research from Realtor.com. Entry-level buyers will likely have the most difficulty finding a home they can afford this spring.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey they want to. That’s a nice benefit, but I wouldn’t add to it.

I would do a couple of Roth IRAs, and max those out. Then, max out whatever you’ve got at work that you own. Of course, when you’re vested in a pension, you own it. That much is true. But still, I don’t advise adding to pensions, buying years up, or any of those kinds of things.

There are a few examples out there where that kind of thing works mathematically to your benefit, but they’re very hard to find. Out of all the years I’ve been in this business, I can count

on two hands the number of times I’ve seen it work out.

So no, I wouldn’t do more with a pension where you add to it yourself, especially at such a young age.

Dear Dave: I’m new to you and your plan. Why do you want people to pay off the debt with the smallest balance first, instead of the one with the highest interest rate? – Courtney Dear Courtney: Simply put, because personal finance isn’t all about math.

Personal finance is only about 20 percent math. The other 80 percent is behavior.

We list debts in the debt snowball in order of the smallest to the largest balance, putting as much as possible toward the smallest while paying the minimum payments on the others. The reason, as I mentioned earlier, is

behavior modification. It helps you see yourself making a dent in your debts.

It’s easier to change bad habits when you see quick results from your efforts to eliminate negative behaviors.

Paying off the smallest debts first, instead of the debts with the highest interest rates, will give you quick wins that will help keep you motivated. It provides proof that you can succeed and become debt-free!

Dear Dave: My wife and I are both 25 years old, and we’re working on Baby Steps 4, 5 and 6. I have a 401(k) through my employer, and she has a pension.

Currently, we’re falling short of the 15 percent of income you advise putting toward retirement. Should we get IRAs, or start stocking money away in her pension? – John Dear John: I wouldn’t put money into a pension. For one thing, when you die after putting money into a pension, in most cases it dies with you. Number two, when you put money into a pension, you’re going to get about a six percent rate of return in the current environment – maybe even as low as five percent. You’re not making much on it while you’re alive, so I don’t advise putting money in pensions. We let employers put money in pensions, if

If grandparents aren’t online, find another way to connect Dear Abby: My son “Travis,” age 9, is computer savvy, but his “Luddite” grandparents (my in-laws) live far away from us and don’t even have internet access. They are no longer able to travel, and our finances prohibit frequent visits to them.

Travis could be Skyping them, and they could have a vital relationship through the miracle of modern technology. Instead, he will take their phone calls only occasionally, and enjoys the annual visit with them – but mainly because of the other relatives there.

If these were my parents (who are sadly long gone), I’d set them up on Skype and have them at least try. When his grandparents are no longer able to live on their own and move to assisted living, will that offer at least a hope of virtual connectivity? – Modern Man In

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Modern Man: By age 9, if your son isn’t interested in talking to his grandparents, and his grandparents make no effort to reach out, do not expect it to happen when he’s older and they go into assisted living.

Travis should be compelled to talk to his grandparents more often. If people want to connect, they usually somehow manage to do it through letters, phones, computers, etc. Over the last 20 years, many seniors have learned about computers and manage them quite well.

If your in-laws have a smartphone, they could talk to your son on video chat.

Dear Abby: I have been playing the

piano for five years and I still enjoy it.

But over the past year and a half, going for lessons every week and having to practice is getting old for me. In fact, I’m beginning to loathe it. It’s not the teacher, it’s not my parents – it’s me.

I’m just over all of the weekly lessons and having to remember to practice. My heart isn’t in it anymore. What do you think I should do? – Ryan In Michigan Dear Ryan: You should talk to your teacher about it. After five years of weekly lessons and diligent practice, you should have a pretty solid musical education by now. You may need to take a break, change teachers or even change instruments. Your teacher may have a broader perspective on this than you do, so take your guidance from the pro.

Dear Abby: I recently invited an acquaintance to be my guest at a play I’m directing and to the cast party

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

afterward. I like this man, and he’s done me a number of favors, so the invitation was a sort of thank-you. I haven’t heard one way or the other from the invitee. I don’t want to push and make the person uncomfortable, but I’d like to know whether he’s coming or not. Should I follow up with him or let it go? – Needs

To Know In New York Dear Needs To Know: By not responding

to your invitation, the man is letting you know it’s not high on his list of priorities.

Personally, I think you should let it go.

And if he asks about the play just before it opens, tell him that you made other plans because you thought he wasn’t interested. Because you like him, say it nicely. To leave you hanging is rude.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A steady pace and curious mind will lead you to a brighter future. Choose your battles wisely to avoid wasting time and energy on people and jobs with little to offer. Be willing to make sacrifices and be simple, precise and moderate in your actions. Hard work, not excess or risk-taking, will get you where you want to go.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take better care of your health and well-being. Refuse to let anyone mess with you or your plans. Use your knowledge and skills for your own gain, not to indulge someone else’s dream.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Learn as you go if you want to master new skills and accomplish

your goals. Day trips and discussions will give you greater insight into personal and financial growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t limit what you can do just to spare someone eager to take advantage of you. Be honest and do whatever you must to ensure that you get what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Avoid emotional confrontations. Someone will want too much or show indulgent traits that will make you feel uncomfortable. Put distance between you and someone you feel is menacing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t hesitate if someone asks you to work overtime. Anything you can do to get ahead will not go to waste. You’ll make new allies if you pitch in and help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be careful when

handling other people’s money, possessions or personal paperwork. A sudden change in the way someone treats you should lead to questions, not anger. Find out where you stand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let peer pressure suck you into something. Make choices that encourage success and advancement.

Take a course or apply for an internship. Walk away from emotional manipulation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Taking a day trip is encouraged, along with spending time with people who inspire you to forge ahead. Make a promise to someone you love. Romance will enhance your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Problems while traveling or dealing with people from different backgrounds can be expected. Make sure you

have all your paperwork in order before you depart. Moderation is encouraged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A secret meeting with someone from your past will lead to trouble. Rely on common sense and don’t jeopardize what you have worked so hard to build. Be forthright and avoid temptation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Personal relationships will need to be reassessed. Consider what everyone is bringing to the table and work toward greater equality. Partnerships depend on balance, honesty and communication.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Problems will surface if you let someone from your past meddle in your personal affairs. Stay on top of any situation you face, and handle loved ones with care.

Players swap stories on 65th anniversary of Alden-Hebron state basketball title VIEWS Joe Stevenson

• Sunday, April 9, 2017

An afternoon with Alden-Hebron’s 1952 state basketball champions qualifies as some of the most enjoyable time anyone can spend.

The stories are marvelous. They flow almost endlessly. The decades may have dimmed some memories, but the crucial information is all there.

Former athletes tend to have this “the older we get the better we were” thing going on when they start reminiscing. The four members of A-H’s starting five don’t have that problem.

The magnitude of their accomplishment continues getting better with age all by itself.

Paul and Phil Judson, Bill Schulz and Kenley Spooner came to A-H Saturday for the 65th anniversary celebration of their monumental feat.

The Giants took down Quincy, 64-59 in overtime, for the 1952 state boys basketball title, becoming the smallest school ever (98 students) to win the championship under the IHSA’s old one-class system.

Former Harvard coach Bruce Firchau, now the president of the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association, said, “They are the most iconic team in our (state’s) history.”

At the time, they were just kids from a small school playing basketball and having fun. They did not fully realize the significance of their achievement until later. During a question-and-answer session on Saturday, Phil Judson joked that it was not until 2002, when the IHSA’s Scott Johnson and his wife, Julie Kistler, wrote the book “Once There Were Giants” that they realized it.

“That’s when we found out what it was all about,” Phil said, drawing laughter from the crowd.

Paul Judson, Phil’s twin, had a similar thought.

“We didn’t realize until people started asking us, ‘How did you do it with five guys?’ ” Paul said. “And ‘How did you do it at such a small school?’ ” They told about their early starts in basketball. The Judsons, Spooner and Don Wilbrandt (who died in 1998) began playing basketball early in grade school.

“Our high school team was good and we wanted to be like Howie (Judson, the twins’ older brother) and

Kenley Spooner shares a story of his earlier basketball memories during a celebration of the 65th anniversary of Alden-Hebron’s 1952 basketball state championship Saturday at Alden-Hebron High School. The Giants were the smallest school (98 students) to ever win the title under the time’s one-class system. those guys,” Spooner said.

They played in each other’s driveways.

“Our driveway was the district,” Phil said. “Kenley’s was the regional.

Don’s house was the sectional.”

A neighbor’s hayloft was the state tournament at night, rehearsing for what would transpire in real life a decade later.

A-H’s story holds similarities to Milan, Indiana, which won that state’s championship in one-class basketball two years later. But unlike Milan, the inspiration for the movie “Hoosiers,” the Giants were no underdog. They actually were ranked No. 1 for nine weeks.

A-H coach Russ Ahearn took on any team he could to get competition.

The Giants’ own gym was tiny, and they could fill any place, so they basically were like barnstormers. If you

4 GIRLS SOCCER: PEPSICO SHOWDOWN

Crystal Lake South, Jacobs win tourney openers

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com SCHAUMBURG – Playing with the wind in its face, Crystal Lake South’s defensive game plan for the first half Saturday was the familiar mantra of bend but don’t break. They survived those first 40 minutes, but then broke three minutes into the second half, with a defensive miscue leading to a Carmel goal.

“I was pretty happy with how we responded. I was not very happy with that particular play on defense,” Crystal Lake South coach Jay Mueller said.

“Those four have been playing with each other for a whole season, I expect the communication to be a little better by now. But the way we bounced back from it after that I’m really happy with.”

Just two minutes after being beaten for the first goal, South goalkeeper An-

nika Sevcik made a series of plays that changed the course of the game.

First, Sevcik made a diving save stretching up to her left and denying Carmel a second goal. Then, she boomed the ensuing punt downfield, easily carrying into the other half with the wind behind it.

The ball took a big bounce off the turf and Gators forward Courtney Sengstock used her speed to shoulder past two defenders and poke it past the onrushing goalkeeper.

Eight minutes later, sophomore Brooke Dunteman finished off a scramble in front of goal for the game-winning goal, the first of her career. From there, the Gators (4-0-1) held on to beat Carmel, 2-1, in their opening game of the PepsiCo Showdown at Olympic Park in Schaumburg.

“This is the first time we’ve gotten a win in the first game of this tournament,” Mueller said. “This tournament

has beat us up pretty bad the last couple years, so it’s good to come out and actually advance in the bracket for once.”

Only one other local team won their opening game on Saturday as Jacobs (5-3) beat Riverside-Brookfield, 3-0, earlier in the morning.

“We were able to create more chances going forward, like we were a lot more decisive,” Golden Eagles coach Stephanie Schuck said. “So that was something we’ve been working on, with just go toward goal, slot the ball back, let’s finish it.”

Karissa Gottardo scored twice and Cassie Kowalski had the other as the Golden Eagles consistently found space on the wings and cutting through the opposing defense.

“I think our center mids did a good job of finding the outside mids in the corners and making those runs and cutting in the gaps, I think we did a

good job with that,” Gottardo said.

The three other local teams competing in the tournament all conceded multiple goals and lost their firstround games.

Huntley, a defending champion in the tournament, fell behind Lane Tech in the first half and despite a tying goal from Avery Fitzgerald midway through the second, the Red Raiders (3-3-2) gave up two more and lost, 3-1.

Crystal Lake Central (1-4) also gave up the first goal but answered quickly and was tied at the half thanks to a goal

by Madelyn West. In the second half, however, West Aurora scored three consecutive goals and the Tigers lost, 4-2, with Madison Rokos getting one goal back late.

Dundee-Crown (4-4) lost, 2-1, to Plainfield South despite a second-half goal from Kendall Kieltyka and eight saves from goalkeeper Diana Santillan-Ceja.

Continued from page 3 traveled with the bus, like in “Hoosiers,” you may not have found a seat.

Schulz, who was 6-foot-10, was the last piece of the puzzle for the Giants. Alden consolidated with Hebron a few years before and Ahearn saw this tall, gangly kid walking the hallway in bib overalls and a flannel shirt.

The coach invited him to the gym. Ahearn later wrote out a list of 22 things that Bill Schulz can do to become a better player. Schulz was asked if he still had that list with him and he pulled out his wallet, producing the dilapidated, taped-together piece of paper he has carried every day since Ahearn gave it to him.

As the years went on, no other teams came close to accomplishing what A-H had done with such a small enrollment. In those days, smaller schools had to play a district round before the regional. A-H is the only team that had to play a district tournament to win a state title.

In 1972, the IHSA adopted a two-class system and the Giants’ spot in history was cemented. Findlay, with an enrollment of 97, won the Class A state title in 1992, but that hardly trumped what A-H had done.

“Growing up, I didn’t realize how big of a deal it was, but as I got older, I was like, ‘Wow, this is really a big deal,’ ” said Todd Spooner, Kenley’s son. “I saw the reaction from other people and that kind of put it in perspective for me.”

Fortunately, so many of the champs are still around to regale everyone with their stories. There is no need for embellishment, the tales stand by themselves.

“They are the best ambassadors for basketball in this state,” Firchau said.

A-H athletic director John Lalor, who retired the champs’ jerseys several years ago, is starting the A-H Hall of Fame and told the players that the 1952 team, Ahearn, the five starters and Howie Judson

Lalor also shared one of his favorite stories, one that drives home what the 1952 title meant. Lalor and EnRico Heirman, a former area resident with ties to Notre Dame, took the Judsons to South Bend several years ago. They were going to hear Indiana coach Bob Knight speak, but the Judsons did not know that.

Knight introduced them during the speech and was well-versed with Alden-Hebron’s history. He

even knew that Paul had once outscored former NBA player and coach Hubie Brown in an All-Star game.

Later, they sat with Knight and listened to more stories.

“He knew all about them,” Lalor said. “That proved to me these guys are truly living legends.”

Playoff-bound Hawks end season with loss to Kings

LOS ANGELES – Six months and 246 periods after the Blackhawks opened a season of uncertainty, with six rookies in the opening-night lineup, they wrapped up the second-winningest regular season in franchise history with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon.

They finished with 50 victories, only two shy of the team record set in 2009-10. They finished with 24 road wins, matching their most ever. They finished with six 20-goal scorers. With Richard Panik emerging as a top-line power forward with 22 goals. With Nick Schmaltz a confident, playmaking star in the making. With Ryan Hartman a versatile, surprisingly productive 19-goal scorer. With the top seed in the Western Conference.

And none of it means anything now.

The games count starting next week, likely Thursday, when the Hawks open the Stanley Cup playoffs at the United Center against either the Nashville Predators or the Calgary Flames. And despite a meaningless 0-2-2 stretch to close the season, the Hawks feel ready to go.

“Absolutely,” Jonathan Toews said.

“That energy, that ambition, that motivation is back. We have that feeling again that every single moment, every single game matters. It’s a lot of fun to play this time of year. It’s why we work all year, to get to this point. As we’ve said in the past, the real season begins.”

Top picks lead Cubs past Brewers

By BRUCE MILES The Daily Herald

MILWAUKEE – The first-round merry-go-round is off and spinning for the Cubs.

Opposing teams are warned to hang on tight, because it may be a dizzying ride.

For the second time in the new season, the Cubs started their first-round draft picks from the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Javier Baez, Albert Almora Jr., Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber were all over the place in an 11-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park.

The game was played in front of a Saturday night sellout crowd of 43,080 fans, most of whom were cheering for the Cubs, who improved to 3-2.

Manager Joe Maddon wasn’t aware of the top picks being in the lineup at once, but he didn’t mind benefiting from it.

“I didn’t realize that,” he said.

“That’s good scouting and player development right there. And you can talk about how good of players they are, but they are – and you guys know it – great people, too. They fit into the culture so well. They fit into anybody’s culture well. They’re so accountable.

And their work is so good every day.”

Cubs’ top pick from 2015 is, Ian Happ is not far away. After a strong spring training with the big league club, he’s off to a good start at Triple-A Iowa, and truth be told, he could start for a lot of major-league clubs.

Here is how it went for the cream of the Cubs’ recent draft classes Saturday: • Baez scored a pair of runs and went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. • Almora was 3 for 4 with a walk and two RBIs. He also made a diving backhanded snag of Travis Shaw’s fly ball to end the fifth inning.

• Bryant picked up his first three RBIs of the season. He had a two-run double in the third, a run-scoring single in the fourth and a double leading off the eighth.

• Schwarber doubled and scored in the third.

“As a team, I think that was a great display of some weak hits,” said Bryant, noting infield rollers and bloop hits the Cubs had. “That’s usually how things start going. What did we have, 17 hits? That was really good, so hopefully we can kind of turn the page on this whole opening week and just play our game.”

The Cubs envisioned this flow of talent when they embarked on their rebuilding project in the fall of 2011.

Things began coming together in 2015 with a trip to the National League Championship Series, and the first big prize came last year with the World Series championship.

WHITE SOX 6, TWINS 2

Garcia just misses the cycle in Sox win

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times Questions reverberated on the South Side this offseason about whether Avisail Garcia could live up to the potential he brought with him in 2013.

Back then, he was the prize return to the White Sox in a three-team trade with Detroit and Boston that sent Jake Peavy to the Red Sox. Three lackluster MLB seasons later, the Sox still are waiting for Garcia to deliver the middle-of-the-order, power-hitting bat they anticipated.

It’s early in the 2017 season, but Garcia is showing signs that he may have turned a corner.

Garcia has eight hits in four games, including a triple and a home run during Saturday’s 6-2 win over the Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. His three-hit effort fell a double short of a cycle, and he added two runs and three RBIs.

“I’m just trying to put my hands more inside and not try to do too much,” said Garcia, who noted his focus also has been to keep his head down as he swings through the ball.

“I’ve been missing fastballs because, you know, my head was a little bit off.”

Garcia’s time with the Sox got off to a rocky start after he missed most of his first full season with a shoulder injury after a diving catch attempt.

His batting average the next two seasons hovered around .250 with an on-base percentage idling at just above .300. He entered this season with 39 career home runs.

He drew comparisons to Dayan Viciedo – a former Sox prospect with tremendous potential and hype who fizzled out of baseball after a few too many lackluster seasons of his own.

It’s easy to forget, however, now in his sixth season in the majors, that Garcia is only 25 and still could have All-Star seasons ahead of him.

NEW YORK – The Jimmy Butler playoffs-or-bust tour hit another speed bump on Saturday, and now things get interesting for the Bulls with two regular-season games left.

Thanks to the defense letting go of a nine-point lead with 4:24 left, the Bulls lost to Brooklyn, 107-106, slipping from the No. 7 spot to the No. 8 spot, as Indiana beat Orlando.

The bad news didn’t stop there. Miami held off Washington, moving into a tie with the 39-41 Bulls.

Ah, life in the Eastern Conference.

So what does it all mean?

Collars are going to start getting tight, with the Bulls hosting Orlando on Monday and Brooklyn on Wednesday. They do own the tiebreaker over Miami, so win out and Butler’s team is in.

It’s that simple.

GOLF: THE MASTERS

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

LEFT: Justin Rose, of England, tips his hat on the 18th hole during the third round of the Masters golf tournament Saturday. RIGHT: Sergio Garcia, of Spain, reacts to a missed putt on the 12th hole during the third round of the Masters golf tournament Saturday.

He nearly holed a wedge from the fairway on the 15th for another birdie and wound up with a 68.

Spieth won the Masters two years ago and was runner-up last year after losing a five-shot lead on the back nine.

The 23-year-old Texan had a two-shot lead with 11 holes to play in his debut in 2014 before Bubba Watson overtook him.

Here he is again.

“Waking up and you have a chance to win your favorite tournament that you’ve dreamt of winning and competing in since you were a kid, and to be able to have your fourth opportunity now ... I didn’t know going into my first one if I would have five chances in my life,” Spieth said. “So it’s awesome.”

Spieth was tied with Ryan Moore (69) and Charley Hoffman, who led for much of the day until he put his tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th and made double bogey. Hoffman battled for par on the last hole to stay just two shots behind.

Only 10 players remained under par,

all of them separated by five shots.

Rory McIlroy has more work to do if he wants that green jacket to complete a career Grand Slam. McIlroy twice had to settle for pars despite being in ideal position on the par 5s on the back nine, and his 71 kept him from making up any ground. He was six shots behind.

Phil Mickelson started out birdie-birdie before his round fell apart with a chunked wedge on No. 3 that led to double bogey. Mickelson shot 39 on the front and 74 for the round, leaving him in a tie for 21st and eight shots behind in his bid to become at age 46 the oldest Masters champion.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Justin Rose charged from behind on the back nine at Augusta National. Sergio Garcia received the kind of break that allowed him to wonder whether maybe the golfing gods are finally on his side after all these years.

They wound up tied for the lead Saturday on a tense afternoon that set the stage for a Masters finale still up for grabs.

And that includes Jordan Spieth in the mix for the fourth straight year.

Rose birdied five of his last seven holes, the last two from 20 feet on No. 17 and 12 feet on No. 18, for a 5-under 67 that gave him a share of the lead going into the final round for the first time in a major. He won the U.S. Open four years ago at Merion from behind.

Garcia hung his head in the 13th fairway when his second shot disappeared off a bank toward the tributary of Rae’s Creek. Moments later, he realized the ball bounced softly enough off the side of the bank to stop halfway down. He chipped up to tap-in range, turning a potential bogey into a birdie.

The 37-year-old Spaniard finished off his round by clenching his fist when a 7-foot par putt dropped into the cup for a 70.

Garcia and Rose were at 6-under 210.

They had a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler, who made birdies on all four of the par 5s to offset a few mistakes in a round of 71.

Perhaps the most daunting name at Augusta National was Spieth, who began this Masters with a quadruple-bogey 9 on the 15th hole of the opening round and was 10 shots out of the lead when he left the course Thursday.

He pulled off a shot that would have made Arnold Palmer proud, a 4-iron off the pine straw and over the water on the 13th to 30 feet for a two-putt birdie.

It’s time to face up to technology I read something in a magazine recently that wiped the smile off my face.

Because according to the magazine story, your face might not belong to you.

It was an article on face-recognition software that allows the government (or anybody else, apparently) to identify you in a crowd of other people – each of whom also can be recognized, apparently.

I knew Facebook had that ability, because even though I don’t use a Facebook account, my daughter Jenny does.

When I recently texted her a photo of my wife and me and Jenny posted it on her Facebook page, the page immediately tagged us, identifying who we were.

It knew because Jenny had posted other photos of us and labeled the photos with our names, and Facebook just made the match and posted our name to the new photos automatically.

When Jenny told me that, I said: “I’ll be darned.” Or words to that effect.

But when I read this magazine article about how face recognition is being used by the government without asking your permission (or your opinion) about it, I said: “Wholly shiatsu!” Or words to that effect.

That’s because the FBI now has millions of faces on file they can match up with a name any time they want to.

And it’s not just convicted felons they can tag, because 80 percent of the faces in their databases are entirely non-criminal in origin.

For example, the Department of Motor Vehicles in 18 states already have granted the feds the right to scan their driver’s license images, which means the feds can match a face with the name of anybody in those states who has ever applied for a driver’s license. Those red-light cameras now know instantly if it’s you driving your car. And they know the name of the person sitting in the passenger seat next to you. And that guy standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change. And that guy sipping coffee at the corner café. And ….

EnvironmentTip Protect your air, water

Richard Nixon made sure we protect our air and water by establishing the Environmental Protection Agency and signing legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Today, we are benefitting

Admittedly, the software isn’t perfect yet. For example, at the moment it does a much better job of identifying white males than it does identifying females, African-Americans or ethnic minorities.

But I’m a white male, and I have a driver’s license, so I said: “Watt the frack!?!!” Or words to that effect.

It was enough to make me want to start wearing lipstick, or grow dreadlocks. Or at least to quit reading magazines.

But then I picked up another magazine, and I read an article that turned it all around for me.

Because this magazine had an article about “wearable tech” that goes way beyond devices such as your Fitbit or your Apple Watch.

For about $350, you now can buy something called a Commuter jacket, which is a denim jacket born of a union between Levi’s and Google, woven of touch-sensitive fibers wired to a Bluetooth-enabled cufflink linked to your smartphone. All you have to do is tap or swipe a sleeve anytime you want to take phone calls, get directions or check the time. With a wave of your hand, you can call up a song on your headphones, or pause the music, or advance to another song altogether.

And although I thought it would be silly to own a jacket like that, I still had that other magazine article about face-recognition software echoing in my head, and I wondered: Wait a minute!

What if that high-tech jacket came with a buttonhole camera that could identify the faces of people I meet, and then whisper their names to me?

Gone forever would be those humiliating encounters where you ran into an old classmate who knew your name, but you couldn’t come up with theirs.

Or those gut-churning times when you walk down the street with a colleague from work and you bump into a neighbor, but you can’t introduce them to each other because you draw a blank

from such legislation.

Time was invested in safeguarding our water and air.

With our habits, let’s continue to respect and value these natural resources.

Families can carry out this concern for our environment by

on the name of your workmate. And of your neighbor.

Or those horrifying senior moments when you want to call out to your granddaughter who is running to you for a hug, but the only name that comes to mind belongs to the dog.

Your new Commuter jacket would eliminate all those embarrassments, because it would have all their faces – and millions more besides – in its data files.

In fact, you could walk down a crowded city street and know the name of every single person walking past.

Of course, that could lead to sensory overload if it chattered every name of every street-stranger to you, so it would have to come with some sort of filter – like maybe just the contacts in your phone, or in your personal address book. You could set it to call out the names of people you ought to know.

Just imagine it!

You’re walking down a crowded street, and suddenly your jacket pipes up: “Here comes Bill, your childhood friend from the old neighborhood. And next to him is a person … who might be a woman. Maybe his wife. Or maybe yours. Could be an African-American man. Hard to tell.”

OK … so maybe I’ll stick with my old, mute denim jacket until they work out all the bugs.

In the meantime, if you see me on the street and I don’t call you out by name, don’t be offended. I can get it later from the Feds.

I’ll leave it up to you if you want to tell me the name of the woman (or ethnic minority person) you’ve been running around with.

After you explain to her how you know the old white guy wearing lipstick and dreads.

Backyards are for fun and games

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press

olleyball courts. Sand pits.

Splash pools. Giant movie screens. You don’t have to be a kid to design and enjoy an outdoor play space.

Al fresco kitchens, all-weather lighting, and improvements in the comfort and durability of patio furniture mean we’re enjoying our outdoor spaces more than ever. And designers are coming up with imaginative ideas for fun and games, whether you’ve got a big yard or one the size of a postage stamp.

“There is something very nostalgic about incorporating the outdoor games you grew up playing into your adult life,” said Sarah Fishburne, trend and design director for Home Depot.

“Most of these games span age groups, so they can be shared with the kids and enjoyed by the adults.”

Easy additions to any backyard include corn hole, tic tac toe, checkers or kubb – a Nordic game that combines lawn bowling and chess, Fishburne said. All you need is some level ground, covered by faux or real grass, sand or a few pavers.

You can find instructions for a corn hole game that can be color-coordinated with backyard decor at www. blog.homedepot.com.

Another easy DIY project is creating an outdoor scoreboard. It requires just some chalkboard paint and a piece of fiber cement backer board. Monica Mangin has a YouTube how-to video in her The Weekender series at www.eastcoastcreativeblog.com.

Tara Gudger, a spokeswoman for Lowe’s, likes the idea of stringing fairy lights around a volleyball net for evening play. She also suggests creating a backyard sand pit.

“Use wooden beams to create a designated space for playing horseshoes or bocce. When you’re not using the space for activities, you can create your own beach oasis with outdoor chairs, an umbrella and even exotic potted plants,” she said. “With hammocks or hammock chairs, some greenery, and a few tiki torches or a fire pit nearby, you’ve created the newest hangout spot.”

Portable wireless speakers that connect to your devices make it easy to bring the tunes outside.

Chip Wade, the Atlanta-based principal at Wade Works Creative and a designer on several HGTV and DIY shows, has done large- and small-scale backyard fun zones. He says one of the most common requests

he gets is for multi-purpose spaces.

“We combine favorite activities in the same square footage,” he said. For example, you could create one court for multiple games, or use walkways and paths as temporary play areas.

In one project, he crafted sliding deck panels over a pool. The sections can be pushed together or separated to take advantage of the swim zone, a hot tub and a fire pit.

For another client, he built a climbing structure with an air cannon deck on top, a hidden hammock and a tunnel entry. He used architectural elements and a living wall of plants to connect the area visually with the rest of the home.

Before you build anything, Wade said, think about how often you’ll use the games. Either commit to your recreation theme and build the best version you can, or find creative ways to stash and store equipment when you won’t be using it.

“I like to have an option of putting away or concealing large ‘play’ items like goals, nets or other clunky games,” he said.

He builds storage units behind solid fencing, or adds shallow cabinetry with doors that blend in with the rest of the home.

One of Wade’s favorite projects was a free-standing pavilion with a golf simulator, swing analyzer and synthetic putting surface, complete with sand bunkers and water features. “It was a golf lover’s dream,” he said. (www.wadeworkscreative.com) A putting green can be landscaped into most small yards. Lowe’s has instructions online for an 8-by-8-foot framed space that can be built in a weekend. Or buy one ready-made; several sizes and configurations are available. (www.lowes.com) Portable nylon screens for watching movies or sports are easy to assemble, come in various sizes and store in a handy carry bag. (www.campchef.com) Even in large yards, Wade encourages clients to think on the small side when creating a backyard play zone. “It’s more easily maintained, and it gives a bit of a buffer between you and your neighbors,” he said.

Game on

Building your own bocce ball court

By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON • The Associated Press

John Paul Vyborny and his family discovered bocce ball while vacationing in the Bahamas many years ago.

When they returned home, they looked for bocce courts near their house in Tucson, Arizona. They located some near relatives in Michigan and at a favorite restaurant in California, but nothing convenient to home.

So, after recently moving into a house with a large backyard, Vyborny and his wife, Anna, now empty nesters, decided to install their own bocce court for entertaining friends and family. He developed the plans and found a contractor to help build it.

“It’s a really nice social activity,” he said. “It’s interactive. It’s very easy to play.”

Landscaper Greg Rowland said he has seen a steady increase in customers asking for bocce courts.

“I have installed them from one end of Phoenix to the other. In the last six months, I’ve done more residential courts than in the last year and half,” said the owner of Grow Land landscaping firm. “A 4-year-old and an 84-yearold can play this game. It’s a great intergenerational activity.”

Bocce involves two teams and nine balls. One player throws a small ball, called a pallino, down the court. Players then alternate tossing the other eight balls, which are about the size of a softball, trying to get as close as possible to the smaller ball. The person who throws the closest ball and his or her teammates whose balls are closer than their opponents earn points. The game, a popular past-time in Italy, has roots in ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire.

Bocce is catching on rapidly in this country, said Mario Pagnoni, author of “The Joy of Bocce” (Masters Press, 1995). “It is a wonderful game full of skill and strategy, one that requires finesse at times,” he said.

He noted bocce courts are being added “in parks, retirement homes, condo complexes and in schools across the country.”

The game’s appearance in public, including restaurants and bars, has driven interest among do-it-yourselfers, said Felicia Feaster, managing editor at HGTV. Building a bocce court is “harder than a corn hole game but easier than a backyard bowling alley,” she said.

Numerous websites, including HGTV.com, PopularMechanics.com and HomeDepot.com, offer tutorials. Courts must be constructed on a level area and

Courts often have a drainage system and some sort of perimeter.

Tom McNutt, owner of Boccemon, a company that sells the crushed-oyster surface material, typically recommends building bocce courts about 10 by 60 feet.

A do-it-yourself court can cost anywhere from $7 a square foot to twice that, depending on materials and how much site preparation is required, he said. He offers construction plans on his website, www.boccemon.com. Landscapers and other professional installers can charge

up to $25 a square foot, he said.

Missy Henriksen, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Landscape Professionals, in Herndon, Virginia, said landscapers can incorporate everything from plants and benches to custom scoreboards and specialty lighting.

“They are starting to get more queries. It goes along with a general trend of people personalizing their outdoor spaces,” she said.

Dos and don’ts for a DIY bocce court

Do double- and triple-check all measurements.

Do consider adding drainage if rain could create a perpetual bocce puddle.

Do make sure you are building on a flat surface, and check levels periodically as you add materials.

Do make sure the paver base and decomposed granite layers are deep enough to form a thick, solid base (3-4 inches).

Don’t attempt a regulation bocce ball court, which is fairly enormous at 91-by-13 feet. Aim for a smaller court modified for a home setting. Courts can be any size.

Don’t skip lining the court with weed cloth. It’s essential to ensure your court doesn’t become a weed garden.

Don’t forget to seal wood with deck sealant for longevity.

Outdoor decor gets free-spirited

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press There are those who prefer perfectly matched furniture and a monochromatic color scheme in decor. But for those who like to shake things up, it’s time to take it outside.

There’s a free-spirited attitude now in outdoor decor, with mixand-match elements and an easy, colorful, playful charm.

“People are setting up their outdoor spaces just like their family rooms, with a focus on comfort and conversation,” said Better Homes & Gardens editor Amy Panos.

“The idea of mixing different furniture styles is coming outdoors.

Rather than a matching set, pair different styles. Put a modern sofa with a raw wood table, for example.

Pair a teak dining table with brightly colored, molded plastic chairs.”

Consider throw pillows and rugs as inexpensive ways to add eclectic flair.

The range of colors and patterns in durable outdoor materials is

greater than ever.

“I like eclecticism,” said Ikea’s creative lead Karin Gustavsson. “It allows you to create an environment that’s more personal, and much more interesting.”

“The different colors and shapes allow you to create a space based on your own mood,” she said. “It’s a cool style created by artists, designers, photographers, surfers and musicians. Beachy and bohemian.”

Gustavsson was inspired by Indonesian prints and colors for Ikea’s new JASSA collection, which includes throw cushions, spatterware plates, plaid woven seagrass baskets and rattan lounge chairs. (www.ikea.com) Crate & Barrel’s vice president of design, Raymond Arenson, concurs.

“We’re living at an increasingly fast pace, bound to a sleek computer that we keep in our pockets. We need relief, warmth and texture to help us relax,” he said.

Couple continues despite alcoholism

“Jake” always had been a big drinker and always the life of the party. He was lots of fun at the party and not so much fun after the party, when he got mouthy, belligerent and sloppy.

His friends loved his good side, but avoided him late in the evening once he’d crossed the line. He was a pretty smart guy and finished college with a decent GPA. The drinking never seemed to slow down much during his transition from college to employed young single. The bars and clubs were his thing, and going to work hung over was a badge of honor to him and the other young guys at work. Then came “Corrine,” a girl he met on an online dating site who seemed to have the adventurous spirit and good looks he was attracted to. She turned out to be a perfect fit for Jake – kind, warm, understanding and intelligent. They most often went to the clubs Jake hung out in, but Jake soon noticed Corrine rarely drank much and

seemed unhappy when he got “overserved.” She diligently would drive him back to his apartment they now shared and, in an oddly motherly way, warn him not to over-drink the next time.

As the drinking continued, the warnings became more strident.

Corrine would get angry when Jake would be two hours late for their dates while he was at a “meeting” (having early cocktails), but quickly would excuse his tardies by telling herself what a hard worker he was.

When Jake started going missing for weekends at a time, Corrine threatened to leave. Jake felt guilty, shaped up for a couple of weeks and, with all good intentions to not repeat his bad behavior, did the same thing again a month later. This time, wishing she had other options, she moved back with her mom and alcoholic step-dad “for a cooling off period.”

Jake partied a little extra hard the first week because, as he saw it, who

wouldn’t drink away his loss and sorrow? Then after a half-in-the-bag, blubbery over-emotional conversation, he tearfully promised Corrine he would stop drinking. She, for her part, melted at the first sign of any willingness at all, however insincere, and was back in the apartment that afternoon.

All was well during the 10-day honeymoon. Promises were made, love was back in the air and, if good intentions were the cure for alcoholism, the story would end here.

The story continued – Corrine unaware of the alcoholism and thinking his drinking was a personal attack; Jake thinking he had his drinking under control and she was the problem.

It took seven more years of misery before Corrine, at the suggestion of a friend, looked into Al-Anon. She quickly confirmed what she had suspected but had been unable to do – that she couldn’t fix, manage or control Jake’s disease. Jake, for his part, has stopped drinking for periods

of time only to start up again. He’s been to detox twice but never to rehab. He went to a few AA meetings to make Corrine happy, but never really invested.

Corrine has a life of her own, friends and activities. She loves her husband and understands his handicaps. She’s no longer controlled by his disease and stays busy taking care of her issues. She understands alcoholism is a family disease, and she’s played her part all too well.

When her friends question her about why she doesn’t leave him, she responds by saying, “I might have to do that at some point, but divorce doesn’t cure alcoholism.”

“Eclecticism is a way of helping us slow down to create our own story.

It’s a philosophy and a way of life, more than a style or fashion. “ He suggests using color and contrast to achieve the look.

Crate & Barrel has a new indoor/ outdoor sectional with a powder-coated steel and mesh frame. With navy Sunbrella upholstery, it’s a modern piece on its own. But Arenson suggests incorporating a couple of white, cast-aluminum drum tables with mismatched lattice motifs, a variety of concrete planters, and a bold, checkered blue rug. (www.crateandbarrel.com) RH Restoration Hardware’s summer outdoor collection has Javanese batik print and West African mudcloth print pillows, in Sunbrella fabrics. Think about unusual containers for greenery; the retailer has giant clamshells and vintage Chinese tea harvest bowls. (www.rh.com) Pieces that get the conversation started are great additions to an eclectic outdoor space.

ED FRAASE “GRAMPA ED”

Hometown: Woodstock Latest Book: “2197?”

Publisher: America Star Books Release Date: November 2016 Available: Read Between the Lynes in Woodstock, www. americastarbooks.pub and Amazon What’s it about?

[It’s a] futuristic book about the Book of Revelation and people of tomorrow instead of the past. It is a story of a man that runs from those that have been ordered to kill all people 50 years old and older, to make room for the new people being born, and is set around his life on an island he takes refuge on, finding a woman, sent by God, having children, and then having to leave the island.

Where did the idea come from?

I decided that a new look to the book was in order. This is my seventh book that has been published What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

Christian fiction, with the goal to try to get people to read their Bibles.

Who is the intended audience?

Young adults and adults.

Why is this story important to you?

I am 82 years young, and I finished writing this book and had it at the publisher in 2015. I have taught the Bible for many years, and I decided young people take the Bible as old and do not believe the words that are in the Bible.

So I decided to change this book and see if I can get someone to pick up their Bible and READ. In all my books, I try to get people back to the Bible, and I am still trying, and I am still writing. In fact, I have two in my computer at the moment that I am working on.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

About one year and eight months. This book’s process was just ideas put down and then changed and changed until it was what I wanted. I did have notes that I had written first.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

What was the hardest part?

I enjoyed the complete book as I wrote, and I had a purpose in my mind so it made it easy for me.

It is still the spelling and what, where or there or to. I never get them straight, so forgive me if I did one wrong.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/ indie/self-publishing)?

After trying to get a traditional

publisher to look at my work, I decided to go with self-publishing. The company I use is not the greatest, but it works for me.

They print and you buy your books at a discount. Then you pick your advertising you wish to get into, and they have different items they email you. You have to set your budget or you can really put a lot of money into this process.

What is your education/ background?

High School with some college and military schooling. I taught Sunday school and started the Children Reading their New Bible class, then moved to adult Sunday school class, and then started a small group Bible study and did this for many years.

I worked in research and chemical production.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

Twelve or 13 years ago, when I was in the hospital recuperating from some serioius operations and having blood clots in my lungs, I asked the Lord to allow me to help him in some way.

And all I heard was one word as I laid in my hospital bed, and that word was “write.” I had a very hard time writing letters home when I was in service, and writing a love letter to my soon-to-be wife years ago (1952-1956). My English teacher would role over in her grave if she found out I was writing.

Who are your favorite authors?

I have many, but the top one is Tim LaHaye/Jerry Jenkins.

pages: “Afraid To Read the Bible,” “Abishag the Half-Wife,” “The Seventy-Seventh Day,” “Angels and the Angel of Light” and “An Angel, Jesus and John.”

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Steel

What’s next for you?

A children’s book is at the publisher about three children who meet and play with Jesus in the village of Nazareth until Jesus goes out into the world and what they also do. The other one I am writing is a fictional book based in the future about a prophet.

Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

King Pick one: Ebooks or hard/ paperbacks?

Hard/paperbacks

How can readers discover more about you and you work? www.grampaed-author.vpweb. com

Have you written anything else?

Yes, six other books. They’re all small books around 60 to 160
