Border plan overlooks driver of illegal immigration: visas

The daily

TWEET @NWHerald

By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON The Associated Press

MIAMI – Uruguay’s banking crisis had already claimed Rosana Araujo’s savings when she and her family, tourist visas in hand, boarded a Miami-bound plane in Montevideo.

She stayed in Miami after her visa expired, supporting herself on random jobs, cleaning homes or baby-sitting.

“I feel lucky because I got here in a plane,” she said. “I feel lucky because I didn’t have to cross a desert.”

While the national discussion on immigration focuses on securing the U.S.-Mexico border with a multibillion-dollar wall, travelers such as Araujo who overstay their visits have become the main source of illegal immigration in the U.S. The Homeland Security Department said 527,127 people – more than the population of Atlanta – who entered the U.S. by plane or ship, not land, and were supposed to leave the country in fiscal 2015 overstayed.

Demographers estimate that two-thirds of foreigners who arrived in 2013 and now are in the U.S. illegally were admitted with valid travel documents, the New York-based Center for Migration Studies found.

The administration’s directives expanding immigration enforcement affect all immigrants in the country illegally, but they focus on those who cross on land, which is the smaller share of newly arrived immigrants in the country illegally. Nonetheless, the U.S. is preparing to build a wall along the 2,000-mile southern border estimated to cost somewhere between $8 billion and $20 billion. An additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents are to be added at an additional cost.

The report estimated that the number of people crossing the border illegally fell from 400,000 in 2000 to 140,000 in 2013. Customs and Border Protection said 12,193 people were caught trying to enter the U.S. illegally from Mexico in March for the second straight monthly decline in arrests at the border. The agency hadn’t reported fewer arrests in a month in at least 17 years.

Robert Warren, author of the report, said President Donald Trump’s immigration orders and plans on the border don’t reflect current migration patterns.

“Overstays have been steady for the past

Rosana Araujo goes through her personal documents April 4 at her home in Miami after a recent trip. Araujo, who is in the country illegally, has an Uruguayan passport and a form that shows the date she arrived in Miami under a visa waiver program 14 years ago.

10 or 12 years, but the illegal entries into this country are at a level we haven’t seen in 20 or 30 years,” the demographer said. “Building a wall across the entire southern border is a statement of policy failure.”

The new executive orders say little about visa overstays, in part because the U.S. government can’t confirm the total number of travelers who remain in the country after their visas expire. Airlines and vessels report departures to the Department of Homeland Security.

But foreigners who leave in vehicles through the ports of entry along the borders are not accounted for because of “major physical infrastructure, logistical and operational hurdles,” a January 2016 Department of Homeland Security report said.

Recent high-profile cases of immigrants who are detained or go public with their stories show a different, more common side of illegal immigration.

In July 2015, Zully Palacios flew from her native Peru into Houston and made her way to Vermont to work at a lodge. She faces deportation after immigration officers detained her. About 100 people gathered in Burlington to protest her arrest last month, saying she was unfairly targeted for advocating for dairy farm workers.

“We are all defending one another. We all should have the right to live peacefully without hurting anybody. We are coming to this country to contribute,” said Palacios, who was freed on bond.

McHenry High School’s Melanie Hahndorf, 16, grabs a set of keys to see whether she will win a car Thursday during the Operation Click banquet at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake.

Students who participate in Operation Click sign a contract at the beginning of the school year to drive safely, and those who honor that pledge are given the chance to win a car.

SAFETY IS KEY TO WINNING

Harvard teen wins new car during 19th annual Operation Click event

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Harvard High School senior Jacob Cobb already had a car. But for his safe-driving efforts throughout the school year, he now has two.

“I definitely plan to get rid of my old one and keep this one,” Cobb said.

Cobb and several other students from McHenry County-area schools were given the chance to turn a key and see whether they won a car during Operation Click’s special event Thursday.

Three cars were available to win for students who were committed to safe-driving efforts this school year.

Cobb was the only winner from McHenry County. Students from Mundelein High School and James B. Conant High School in Hoffman Estates were the other two recipients.

This was the second year in a row a Harvard High School student won.

“It’s exciting because I didn’t think I was going to get it,” Cobb said.

Hundreds of people – including students, police officers, parents and community members – attend-

ed the 19th annual Operation Click banquet and car giveaway Thursday.

The event was at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake to honor students who made the Operation Click pledge for safe driving.

“One thing I’ve learned since Operation Click is to make sure when you get in the car that everyone in the car has their seat belts on, and that if you’re driving, you’re not using your phone at all,” Cobb said.

The nonprofit was created to reduce teen fatalities and injuries from motor vehicle crashes by developing

safe-driving habits through education and positive reinforcement. It started as a partnership between the Crystal Lake Police Department, Crystal Lake Park District, Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and Community High School District 155.

To be considered for a free car, students signed contracts at the beginning of the school year and had to abide by the terms. Those who did were given the chance to attend Thursday’s car giveaway.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board is on track to vote Tuesday to commit to a significant reduction of its tax levy.

Board members Thursday at their Committee of the Whole meeting discussed the resolution that would put county government on record to cut its property tax levy by 10 percent for next year. But although a handful of board members expressed concern about the idea, a number of them want to get the resolution approved and the process started.

If approved Tuesday evening, the resolution would be a promise in writing to property owners to cut at least $7.9 million in taxation and spending, based on its $79.3 million tax levy for this year. It also will create an ad-hoc Committee on Tax Reduction, consisting of just less than half of the entire board, to develop ways to meet the goal by a June 30 deadline.

The bipartisan resolution was developed by Republican board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, and Democratic Board Chairman Jack Franks, who ran last year on a platform of slashing the levy by at least 10 percent.

However, it was softened last week by the Finance and Audit Committee to make the cut a goal rather than an absolute.

Board member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said she believes the process the resolution sets up is irresponsible, calling it a “buzz saw mentality.” Kurtz unsuccessfully ran in last week’s election for Community High School District 155 Board on a slate whose platform included cutting the district’s taxes.

n WHAT: McHenry County Board monthly voting meeting n WHEN: 7 p.m. Tuesday n WHERE: Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock. n COST: Free and open to the public “We’re just going to cut, cut, cut, but if we’re not looking at the issue of how we make things more efficient, then we’re just going to be reducing what we provide to the people of this county, and there are a number of consequences that occur when we take away services,” Kurtz said.

But Franks, D-Marengo, pointed out that the committee created by the ordinance is meant to prevent haphazard or blind cuts. The 12-member committee consists of Franks, the chairmen of each standing committee and three other members, with Finance and Audit Chairman Mike Skala, R-Huntley, acting as vice chairman.

Franks defended the idea of setting a firm goal.

“We’re all in this together, and if after we do that, you don’t like it, you’re certainly free to vote no, but I think we need to set those goals and move forward,” Franks said.

Several other board members agreed.

Member Chris Christensen, R-Cary, reiterated the same sentiment he did last week in the Finance and Audit Committee discussion – the board needs to stop debating the semantics of the ordinance and get going on cutting the levy.

“It’s time for the board to go to work,”

“We’re just going to cut, cut, cut, but if we’re not looking at the issue of how we make things more efficient, then we’re just going to be reducing what we provide to the people of this county, and there are a number of consequences that occur when we take away services.”

Donna Kurtz

McHenry County Board member Christensen said.

The County Board only can cut its own levy, not those of other local units of government to which residents pay taxes.

County government accounts for just less than 10 percent of residential property tax bills in McHenry County – about twothirds of the average bill goes to public schools.

Franks, who took office in December as the first popularly elected County Board chairman, has said that the county must lead by example – he wants to use his office as a bully pulpit to convince other governments to lower their taxes.

A study by the nonpartisan, Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation concluded that McHenry County has the 29th highest property tax burden for all counties nationwide. Other studies rank Illinois’ average burden as either highest or second highest of all 50 states.

Crystal Lake man sentenced to 6 years for selling cocaine

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Crystal Lake man this week to six years in prison after he admitted to selling at least 15 grams of cocaine in March 2016.

Ramon Cisneros-Reynoso, 43, pleaded guilty Tuesday before Judge Michael Feetterer to one count of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class X felony. The felony charge is punishable by between six and 30 years in prison. Cisner-

os-Reynoso also faces deportation as a result of the conviction.

In addition to prison time, Cisneros-Reynoso will be required to serve three years of mandatory supervised release.

He will get credit for about 10 months spent in McHenry County Jail.

Cisneros-Reynoso admitted to selling at least 15 but not more than 100 grams of cocaine on March 28, 2016, according to the indictment. He was arrested in June on three counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled sub-

stance and three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance after authorities said he possessed and sold more than 100 grams of cocaine on more than one occasion last year.

All other charges against him were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

His attorney, Francisco Botto, previously said his client had no criminal history and lived in the McHenry County area for a number of years.

He also said Cisneros-Reynoso had a steady job working in landscaping.

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Crystal Lake Marine Services seeks an $85,000 loan from the city of Woodstock for a move that will quadruple its space and add 15 jobs to the community.

Dave Piersall of Crystal Lake Marine Services operates the company on a 10,000-square-foot facility with four acres of land at 1151 Lake Ave. in Woodstock, and he wants to move to the former Harley-Davidson facility at 2050 S. Eastwood Drive.

The company moved to its existing site in August 2013, but the facility is at full capacity and is growing, Piersall said.

“We have such a congregation of boats we are working on that productivity goes down,” he said. “The other thing is that our storage business has grown exponentially.”

The company stores about 300 boats and recreational vehicles. It also completes repairs on boats, snowmobiles and jet skis. The new facility will have a full RV service center, Piersall said.

The proposed added jobs will range from mechanical engineers to a parts manager and administrative and financial personnel, he said.

Piersall is seeking the loan through Woodstock’s Revolving Loan Fund.

The Revolving Loan Fund is an economic incentive that allows the city to offer low-interest loans to businesses that want to expand or relocate to Woodstock.

Dave Piersall of Crystal Lake Marine Services operates the company on a 10,000-squarefoot facility with four acres of land at 1151 Lake Ave. in Woodstock, and he wants to move the business to the former Harley-Davidson facility at 2050 S. Eastwood Drive.

Interest rates start as low as 2 percent with a maximum repayment term of seven years, according to city documents.

“We’re excited about [this] expanding business. [It is] fairly new to our community, but has found Woodstock to be a profitable place to invest. We’re happy to be a part of their growth here in Woodstock,” Economic Development Director Garrett Anderson said.

Piersall said that he plans to change the name of the site to Lake Marine and RV to better incorporate into the

Woodstock business community.

“They’ve been fantastic,” he said.

“We have always liked Woodstock a lot. When we got through this experience, it endeared us even more. We are rooted.”

The city’s Economic Development Commission recommended the project be taken to the Woodstock City Council for approval. Council members likely will consider the item at their next meeting, at 7 p.m Tuesday at Woodstock City Hall, 121 W. Calhoun St.

THE BIGGEST LENTON AYCE FISH FRY BUFFET

The ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – The widow of disgraced Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz told investigators her husband intended to pay back money he took from a police youth program, prosecutors said.

The Daily Herald reported that the remarks came during a court hearing Wednesday on Melodie Gliniewicz’s request that a judge throw out charges against her. She’s accused of being involved in her late husband’s scheme to steal thousands of dollars from the Fox Lake Police Explorers Post 300.

Authorities allege that Joseph Gliniewicz staged his September 2015 suicide to look like he was killed in the line of duty in hopes of hiding his crimes.

Melodie Gliniewicz has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy, unlawful use of charitable funds for personal gain and money laundering.

Don Morrison, her attorney, has said the charges are unconstitutionally vague and that the state shouldn’t be

permitted to prosecute her for crimes committed by her husband.

“She told investigators that ‘he’ would use the (Explorer credit) card, then ‘we’ would pay Melodie it back,” Morrison said.

Gliniewicz “The state is charging her for paying it back.”

Assistant Lake County State’s Attorney Scott Turk said Melodie Gliniewicz knew about her husband’s unlawful use of the police account.

Lake County Sheriff’s Joseph Sgt. Keith Kaiser and Gliniewicz FBI forensic accountant Margaret Skiva testified Wednesday that there isn’t any evidence Melodie Gliniewicz was directly involved in any transactions involving the account between September 2008 and March 27, 2015.

Gliniewicz’s trial is scheduled to begin May 30. If convicted, she faces up to seven years in prison.

There’s no doubt that many people have been satisfied with the Chevy Cruze and Honda Civic, vehicles that you can find at Gary Lang Auto Group.

Both vehicles are alike in a lot of ways and many have purchased them and will likely continue to do so.

It’s hard to argue against the Honda Civic especially with how well it’s been received over the years. This is a vehicle that’s earned an excellent reputation for decades as a practical, economical and dependable sedan that most have been extremely satisfied with owning.

You’d be hard pressed to not know a friend, family member or co-worker who hasn’t owned a Honda Civic and been extremely satisfied.

The Chevy Cruze has to be regarded as a relative newcomer since it popped into the market in 2009. It’s turning a lot of heads though, especially this year with its offering of

a first-ever Cruze Hatchback. It’s become a car that many families desire.

According to the Chevy website, the Cruze prides itself “with a unique combination of entertainment technology, remarkable efficiency and available advanced safety features, (so) this sporty compact car helps you get where you’re going without missing a beat.”

The two 2017 vehicles are quite similar today. Both are about the same width so they’ll take the same space in a garage.

The same cannot be said for those driving with you. The back seat is a bit tighter in the Cruze than the Civic so your kids or buddies will enjoy more legroom and headroom if you opt for the Civic.

When you stop to refuel though, it really doesn’t matter if you’re driving either vehicle as mileage is about the same.

The Cruze has less horsepower than the Civic but is that a difference maker? That’s something you have to decide. Warranties are nearly identical.

Huntley High School’s Isabella Zygowicz, 17, exits a car disappointed Thursday during the Operation Click banquet at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake. Zygowicz did not win the car.

Continued from page A3 “This event wraps up the yearlong efforts for the schools,” Operation Click President Sean McGrath said.

“So this is kind of where everything comes together; we recognize the students and recognize that they followed the terms of the contracts.”

McGrath said that before the program launched, the Crystal Lake seat belt compliance rate was at 65 percent, and now the compliance rate has increased to 96 percent.

“And while the program originally focused on seat belt compliance, it now emphasizes several safe-driving methods. The program had to adapt.

We had to understand that with teens, it’s speeding, it’s alcohol, it’s drugs (and) it’s distracted driving,” McGrath said.

Since its inception, McGrath said the program has expanded into northern Wisconsin, and Thursday’s banquet was the largest Operation Click event to date. McGrath said that when the event first started, only three schools were involved, but over the

years more schools and companies have inquired about participating.

“Now we’re in two states, and our goal is to be in even more states in the near future,” McGrath said. “There’s no reason a program like this isn’t needed nationwide.”

Of the three cars donated Thursday, one was from Black Diamond Plumbing & Mechanical Inc. and the other two were gifts of Kunes Country Ford of Antioch.

“We’ve been involved with the program for quite a while now and believe in giving back to the community,” general manager Scott Kunes said. “A very important thing is to teach good driving habits to people.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2,270 teens in the U.S. ages 16 to 19 were killed in 2014, and 221,313 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes.

“Operation Click really does help students understand safe driving, and hopefully prevent more accidents,” said Huntley High School sophomore Alyssa Spunder, who was named the “Kane County Student of the Year” by Operation Click at the event.

HOW TO AVOID DEVELOPING SEVERE STIFFNESS IN THE OPERATED KNEE FOLLOWING TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT Free Workshop Reveals the Single Biggest #1 Secret To Ensure Successful Recovery from Total Knee Replacement Dear Fellow McHenry County Resident, Has your knee finally had it? …walking has gotten so excruciating? …stairs have become intimidating? …and you just can’t stand for any length of time anymore?

And it’s not just the pain in your knee, what’s more frustrating is… …missing out on spending quality family time with your spouse, kids and grandkids. …giving up on your hobby…golf, bowling, tennis, shopping, or just plain going out to dinner. …feeling like you’re not the same person anymore. It’s discouraging.

Here comes Total Knee Replacement…

Is Total Knee Replacement for You?

Stiff Knee Syndrome (in medical lingo, Arthrofibrosis)

This condition can occur after surgery on the knee, such as a knee replacement. Over time, scar tissue builds up inside the knee, causing the knee joint to shrink and tighten.

Scar tissue from stiff knee syndrome can severely impact your knee’s range of motion. In the most severe instances, it can result in a permanent inability to bend and straighten the knee. Some knee stiffness following a total knee replacement is normal. Severe stiffness is not.

So how do you know if you have stiff knee syndrome?

• •

You walk with a bent knee There is increased amount of pain which could be the result of stiff knee syndrome, especially when it occurs along with reduced flexibility.

There is swelling in the soft tissue around your knee. This is different than swelling due to fluid buildup.

Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. The great news is…90% of patients who undergo Total Knee Replacement experience dramatic pain relief…which allows patients to get back to enjoying the simple things of daily life again!

But what can go wrong?

hosting exhibit at library NORTHWEST HERALD ALGONQUIN – The village is hosting its sixth annual Student Art Exhibit, which features 110 pieces of art created by local middle school students.

The event, organized by the village’s Public Arts Commission, runs through April 30 at the Algonquin Area Public Library, 2600 Harnish Drive, according to a news release from the village.

The exhibit is open during regular library hours, which are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Students from Algonquin Middle School, Dundee Middle School, St. John’s Lutheran School, St. Margaret Mary Catholic School and Westfield Community School participated, according to a news release from the village.

Artwork includes paintings, drawings, ceramic work and collages.

From 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, an awards reception will take place to recognize participants and give out several “Best in Show” awards to student from each school.

The top piece will be awarded the fourth annual Richard A. Rehwaldt Memorial Award, which honors the late community arts supporter and former commission member who helped develop the village’s first Student Art Exhibit in 2012, according to the release.

The Algonquin Public Art Program started in 2005 to enhance the community’s sense of place through a celebration of art, according to the release.

Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. For information, call Algonquin Senior Planner Ben Mason at 847-658-2700, ext. 3302.

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The village plans to spend about $250,000 to buy a property on Main Street as part of plans to improve its downtown area.

The Algonquin Village Board unanimously voted to allow the village president to execute a sales agreement for the property, 101 S. Main St., for $250,000, Assistant Village Manager Mike Kumbera said.

Diana Wood of Brokerocity Real Estate is the owner of the building, and she approached the village about selling her property, Kumbera said.

“Upon due diligence, the village determined that the property’s attributes, including access to Crystal Creek and parking off of Harrison Street, would be a public benefit consistent with the goals of the Downtown Planning Study and Streetscape Improvements,” Kumbera said in an email.

Crystal Creek work is in the engineering phase, Kumbera said. The village plans to straighten the creek and create a riverwalk along its northern bank starting at the existing pedestrian

bridge in the northwestern portion of Towne Park, according to conceptual plans. The riverwalk would follow the natural curves of the waterway linking to the municipal parking lot behind Historic Village Hall, and future extensions could include the creek bank between Main Street and Harrison Street, ending in Cornish Park, according to Kumbera and conceptual plans.

“We’re going to be doing a lot of work down there, and it’s going to require a lot of patience,” Village President John Schmitt said. “And hopefully, we’ll have a real nice downtown in a couple of years.”

The total cost for work on Crystal Creek is estimated at $1.3 million, according to the conceptual plan, and is part of a $30 million plan for Algonquin’s downtown.

Schmitt said it will be cheaper to do work to the creek if the the village owns the building. As to whether the building will be knocked down or what future uses the property might hold, Schmitt said he did not yet know.

The resolution to buy the property was approved at a special Village Board meeting Tuesday.

Executive director speaks at mental health conference NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Scott Block, executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health Board, was selected to help lead a town hall session at the National Council for Behavioral Health’s NatCon Conference earlier this month.

Block co-facilitated the session for state, regional and county governments with Jim Vollendroff, division director of the King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division in Washington state.

During the session, Block talked about the local government’s role in health care programming and highlighted some of the McHenry County Mental Health Board’s collaborative behavioral health and justice programs, such as Mental Health Court,

Adult Drug Court, the naloxone program and countywide Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention efforts.

“The invitation to present at NatCon was an amazing opportunity to promote the behavioral health system in McHenry County and share our local experiences,” Block said.

“Although the past year has been a time of transition and change for many McHenry County behavioral health providers, the local system is revered by peers and colleagues throughout the state and country.”

The specialty health care conference brings in more than 5,000 behavioral health leaders from across the nation to talk about treating mental illness and substance-use disorders.

This year, the conference took place from April 3 to 5 in Seattle.

Doug Martin, director of economic development in McHenry, said the loan now is “null and void” since Bellavia won’t be buying the building listed in the meeting agenda.

After people got word the brewery possibly would be sold, Ames said his B.E.E.R. (Brewery Enlightened Erudite Revivalists) Club members were worried the microbrewery was closing and the bonds, relationship and craft beers would disappear.

Ames said he wants to assure people his brewery is staying, and it still will host its annual “I’m Bock” and Breakfast release party Saturday.

“Bottom line is Chain O’ Lakes Brewing is continuing to operate,” Ames said. “ … We’re going to be onsite for the foreseeable future.”

After buying the building in 2012, Chain O’ Lakes opened to the public July 20, 2013, and will celebrate its fourth year in business this year. The microbrewery, which formerly was occupied by McHenry Brewing Co., features a tap room, beer garden and

Lawyer: Dragged man lost 2 teeth, broke nose

By DON BABWIN and SARA BURNETT

Crystal Pepper, daughter of Dr. David Dao, accompanied by attorney, Stephen Golan, speaks at a news conference Thursday in Chicago.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The passenger dragged from a United flight lost two front teeth and suffered a broken nose and a concussion, his lawyer said Thursday, accusing the airline industry of having “bullied” its customers for far too long.

“Are we going to continue to be treated like cattle?” attorney Thomas Demetrio asked.

The passenger, Dr. David Dao, has been released from a hospital but will need reconstructive surgery, Demetrio said at a news conference, appearing alongside one of Dao’s children. Dao was not there.

The 69-year-old physician from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was removed by police from the United Express flight Sunday at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after refusing to give up his seat on the full plane to make room for four airline employees.

Cellphone video of him being pulled down the aisle on his back and footage of his bloody face have created a public relations nightmare for United.

One of Dao’s five children, Crystal Pepper, said the family was “horrified, shocked and sickened” by what happened. She said it was made worse by

Prosecutors: Slain judge’s girlfriend was robbery target

CHICAGO – A man charged in the shooting death of a Chicago judge told detectives that he and his partner were trying to rob the judge’s girlfriend, who was wounded in the attack, prosecutors said Thursday.

Joshua T. Smith, 37, gave a videotaped statement to police in which he said his partner watched the movements of Cook County Associate Judge Raymond Myles’ girlfriend for several weeks before Monday morning’s robbery attempt.

Myles, 66, was killed in the shooting.

His girlfriend was shot in the leg and is expected to survive.

Smith drove a vehicle into an alley near the judge’s home on the city’s South Side and his partner, who is on the run and whose name hasn’t been released, got out

the fact that it was caught on video.

For Dao, who came to the U.S. after fleeing Vietnam by boat in 1975 when Saigon fell, being dragged off the plane “was more horrifying and harrowing than what he experienced in leaving Vietnam,” Demetrio said.

Demetrio, who indicated Dao is going to sue, said the industry has long “bullied” passengers by overbooking flights and then bumping people, and “it took something like this to get a conversation going.”

“I hope he becomes a poster child for all of us. Someone’s got to,” the lawyer said.

Early on, United CEO Oscar Munoz added to the furor when he apologized for the incident but accused Dao of being belligerent. Later, Munoz offered a more emphatic mea culpa, saying, “No one should ever be mistreated this way.”

He promised to review the airline’s policies to make sure something like that never happens again, and said United will no longer use police to remove

to wait for the girlfriend, Assistant State’s Attorney Guy Lisuzzo said. When she came out, the gunman shot her in the leg and grabbed her gym bag, Lisuzzo said.

Myles apparently heard the gunshot and came out on his back porch and confronted the gunman, who then shot Myles. Smith told detectives the men fled with the woman’s gym bag, but the gunman tossed it in anger when it didn’t contain any money, prosecutors said.

DuPage County Judge Robert A. Miller was brought in to handle Thursday’s bond hearing to avoid a conflict of interest because of Myles’ ties to the Cook County court building. Miller ordered Smith held without bond.

confirming Daniel McCormack was unfit to work with children but allowed him to continue as a teacher, basketball coach and priest, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Website offers real-time data on Illinois road conditions

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois travelers now can access real-time information on road closures, construction and winter weather conditions through a revamped state website.

The Illinois Department of Transportation said Wednesday the redesigned “Getting Around Illinois” website now is mobile-friendly and continuously updated.

Users also are able to zoom in to view a location, roadway or destination. The previous website offered simply a static map of a broad area.

The site also provides information on traffic congestion, hotel and gas station locations and weather radar.

Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said the new-and-improved

bumped passengers. The airline also said all passengers on the flight would get a refund.

In a statement issued immediately after Thursday’s news conference, United insisted that Munoz and the airline called Dao numerous times to apologize.

Munoz himself said Wednesday that he had left a message for Dao. But Demetrio said neither Dao nor his family had heard from United.

Demetrio said his client accepts the apology. But the attorney questioned its sincerity, suggesting United acted because it was taking a PR “beating.”

The attorney was unable to say precisely how Dao was injured. Dao didn’t remember exactly what occurred because of the concussion he suffered, Demetrio said.

Pepper said her father and mother had been traveling from California to Louisville, Kentucky, and had caught a connecting flight at O’Hare. After what happened, Dao “has no interest in ever seeing an airplane” and will probably be driven to Kentucky, Demetrio said.

United had selected Dao and three other passengers at random for removal from the plane after unsuccessfully offering $800 in travel vouchers and a hotel stay to customers willing to give up their seats.

Man receives $13M in suit over wrongful conviction

CHICAGO – A federal jury awarded $13 million to a man who spent 21 years in prison after signing a murder confession allegedly manufactured by Chicago police and Cook County prosecutors.

Deon Patrick wept Wednesday as U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman announced the award. Patrick was convicted in 1995 in the deaths of Sharon Haugabook and Jeffrey Lassiter.

The 42-year-old Patrick long contended his confession was coerced.

Patrick’s attorneys argued Chicago Police Department records show Patrick was locked up on a disorderly conduct charge at the time the two were killed in their apartment in 1992. The 20-year-old Patrick was arrested on a drug charge. His lawsuit claimed he signed the murder confession after being abused.

Prosecutors dismissed the murder charges against Patrick in 2014.

Trump abruptly reverses stance on some key issues

By JILL COLVIN

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is abruptly reversing himself on key issues.

And for all his usual bluster, he’s startlingly candid about the reason: He’s just now really learning about some of them.

“After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” the president said after a discussion with Chinese President Xi Jinping that included his hopes that China’s pressure could steer North Korea away from its nuclear efforts.

“I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power” over North Korea, he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “But it’s not what you would think.”

That’s just one of several recent comments offering insight into what looks like a moderate makeover for an immoderate president. As he approaches 100 days in office he appears to be increasingly embracing what he describes as his “flexibility” – acknowledging he may not have thought deeply about some of the issues he shouted about throughout his political campaign.

In the past 48 hours, the outsider politician who pledged to upend Washington has: • Abandoned his vow to label China a currency manipulator.

• Rethought his hands-off assessment of the Syrian conflict – and ordered a missile attack.

• Turned his warm approach toward Vladimir Putin decidedly chilly and declared U.S.-Russia relations “may be at an all-time low.”

• Decided NATO isn’t actually obsolete, as he had claimed.

• Realized the U.S. Export-Import Bank is worth keeping around.

“Instinctively, you would say, ‘Isn’t that a ridiculous thing,’” he said of the bank he once panned as “feather-

He now says of the bank, which supports U.S. exports, “Actually, it’s a very good thing. And it actually makes money.”

Allies describe Trump as merely growing in the job, taking what he’s learning and adapting. The White House, however, is struggling to explain some of the changes.

Asked about the growing list of reversals on Wednesday, spokesman Sean Spicer argued that NATO actually is “evolving toward the president’s position,” not the other way around, by focusing more on terrorism and encouraging nations to pay more toward defense.

What about flip-flops besides NATO? Spicer was asked.

NATO is actually moving toward Trump, he responded again. Next question.

Trump, who seemed to remain in campaign mode for months after the election, appears to be listening to different advisers now. His onetime campaign guru, Steve Bannon, has been somewhat marginalized while moderate voices grow louder.

It also may be that Trump is merely looking for a way to improve his low approval rating, acknowledging his best tactic could be switching to a less dogmatic, more pragmatic

approach.

“Candidates are always bombastic on the campaign trail – and Trump especially.

But there is some growing into the office and dealing with the real effects of some of the policies,” said Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who helped craft Trump’s economic plans.

On the other hand, he warned, “if he starts just abandoning his promises, then I think it’s going to exact a political toll.”

In many cases, Trump’s campaign talk appeared born from instinct and little else.

He was known as a candidate who rarely dug deep, and he employed few policy experts to inform his views.

He’s also long boasted of his flexibility, describing his positions as starting points for negotiation – although many of his core ideas, including frustrations over the U.S. trade imbalance, have held steady for years.

Trump, for instance, vowed to label China a currency manipulator, “They’re not currency manipulators,” he conceded in the Wall Street Journal interview, adding that he was concerned that officially branding them as such could jeopardize his talks with Beijing on confronting North Korea.

U.S. drops ‘mother of all bombs’ on IS

By ROBERT BURNS

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. forces in Afghanistan on Thursday struck an Islamic State tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan with “the mother of all bombs,” the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military, Pentagon officials said.

The bomb, known officially as a GBU-43B, or massive ordnance air blast weapon, unleashes 11 tons of explosives. When it was developed in the early 2000s, the Pentagon did a formal review of legal justification for its combat use.

The Pentagon said it had no early estimate of deaths or damage caused by its attack, which President Donald Trump called a “very, very successful mission.”

The U.S. military headquarters in Kabul said in a statement that the bomb was dropped at 7:32 p.m. local time Thursday on a tunnel complex in Achin district of Nangarhar province, where the Afghan affiliate of the Islamic State

group has been operating. The target was close to the Pakistani border.

The U.S. estimates 600 to 800 IS fighters are present in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated heavily on combating them while also supporting Afghan forces battling the Taliban. Just last week a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, 37, of Edgewood, Maryland, was killed in action in Nangarhar.

The MOAB is a custom-made Air Force weapon that has been in the arsenal for more than a decade but never used on the battlefield, although it was available throughout the Iraq war. It is designed to hit softer targets such as surface facilities, tunnel entrances and troop concentrations. It is pushed out the rear of the launching aircraft, guided to its target by GPS and slowed by a parachute.

A separate non-nuclear weapon known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, which is larger in its physical dimensions but carries a smaller load of conventional explo-

sives, is designed to take out deeply buried targets like reinforced bunkers.

The MOP has never been used in combat.

In its 2003 review of the legality of using the MOAB, the Pentagon concluded that it could not be called an indiscriminate killer under the Law of Armed Conflict.

“Although the MOAB weapon leaves a large footprint, it is discriminate and requires a deliberate launching toward the target,” the review said.

It added: “It is expected that the weapon will have a substantial psychological effect on those who witness its use.”

Adam Stump, a Pentagon spokesman, said the bomb was dropped from a U.S. MC-130 special operations transport. He said the bomb had been brought to Afghanistan “some time ago” for potential use.

Army Gen. John W. Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said in a written statement that the strike was designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and U.S. forces conducting clearing operations in the Ach-

in area “while maximizing the destruction” of IS fighters and facilities. He said IS has been using improvised explosive devices, bunkers and tunnels to strengthen its defenses.

“This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K,” he added, using the U.S. military’s acronym for the IS affiliate.

Ismail Shinwari, the governor of Achin district, said the U.S. attack was carried out in a remote mountainous area with no civilian homes nearby and that there had been no reports of injured civilians. He said there has been heavy fighting in the area in recent weeks between Afghan forces and IS militants.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said IS fighters had used the tunnels and caves in Achin to maneuver freely.

“The United States takes the fight against ISIS very seriously and in order to defeat the group we must deny them operational space, which we did,” Spicer said.

In foot-wash rite, pope urges prisoners to serve one another

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis washed the feet of a dozen inmates at a maximum security prison on Holy Thursday in a pre-Easter ritual meant to show his willingness to serve society’s most marginal and give them hope. Francis urged the prisoners to help one another out and similarly “be the servant of others.”

Francis traveled to the Paliano detention center, located in a fortress south of Rome, to celebrate the Holy Thursday Mass at the only Italian prison dedicated to housing mafia turncoats. These “collaborators of justice” can shave time off their sentences by cooperating with anti-mafia prosecutors.

Nevertheless, many of the inmates are serving lengthy terms: Two of the 12 inmates who participated in the foot-washing ceremony are serving life terms. The remaining 10 are due to be released between 2019 and 2073. Francis also visited two other inmates currently in solitary confinement.

In his homily, Francis reminded the inmates that his gesture of washing their feet re-enacted the revolutionary gesture of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples before he was crucified, essentially doing the work of a slave out of love.

“If you can do something, a service

During the Mass, the pontiff blesses a token amount of oil that will be used to administer the sacraments for the year. for your companions in prison, do it,” Francis urged them during his homily.

“This is love. This is like washing feet: to be the servant of others.”

It’s the third Holy Thursday that Francis has spent at a detention center, part of his longstanding emphasis on ministering to prisoners and the need to give them rehabilitation and hope.

“The Holy Father gave us message not just of hope, but he told us that the

love of God is great and is ready to forgive everyone,” prison director Nadia Cersosimo told Vatican Radio.

Because of the nature of the prison, its inmates and their families, Francis’ visit was conducted under unusually strict privacy: Vatican Radio only aired edited excerpts of his homily after the fact, and the Vatican’s TV service planned edited TV footage. Usually the pope’s activities are covered live

by at least Vatican TV and radio, if not independent media.

Paliano has 60 to 70 inmates, including about 50 mafia turncoats. The prison also houses four women and has a special ward for tuberculosis-infected inmates.

The Vatican said three of the 12 inmates who had their feet washed are women and one is a Muslim due to be baptized a Christian in June. Prisoners prepared cakes as gifts and offered the pope zucchini and cucumbers from the prison’s organic garden.

In an interview published Thursday in Rome daily La Repubblica, Francis said his emphasis on reaching out to inmates comes from his heart, as well as the biblical imperative to visit prisoners and accompany the least of society.

“When I’m looking at a prisoner, I ask myself: ‘Why him and not me?’ ” he said. “’Why did he fall and not me?’

It’s a mystery that brings me closer to them.”

Francis opened the most solemn period of the Catholic Church’s liturgical calendar by celebrating Mass on Thursday morning in St. Peter’s Basilica before heading to Paliano. On Friday, he participates in the torch-lit procession at Rome’s Colosseum re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion.

Saturday brings the late-night Easter vigil, with Easter Sunday Mass the next day.

Haley said after the vote that although the departure of the peacekeepers “is seen as a success, unfortunately it’s a nightmare for many in Haiti who will never be able to forget and live with brutal scars.”

• Friday, April 14, 2017

UNITED NATIONS – U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Thursday urged all countries that provide troops for U.N. peacekeeping missions to hold soldiers accountable for sexual abuse and exploitation, an appeal that came after she cited an Associated Press investigation into a child sex ring in Haiti involving Sri Lankan peacekeepers.

She also warned that “countries that refuse to hold their soldiers accountable must recognize that this either stops or their troops will go home and their financial compensation will end.”

Haley was speaking after the Security Council voted unanimously to end the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti in mid-October, sending a strong signal that the international community believes the impoverished Caribbean nation is stabilizing after successful elections.

But the peacekeepers will leave with a tarnished legacy. U.N. troops from Nepal are widely blamed for introducing cholera that has killed at least 9,500 people in Haiti since 2010, and some troops have been implicated in sexual abuse.

“What do we say to these kids? Did

tigators how Sri Lankan peacekeepers offered them snacks or money for sex.

One boy said he slept with as many as 100 soldiers, averaging about four a day.

The details of the sex ring were part of a larger AP investigation of U.N. missions during the past 12 years that found an estimated 2,000 allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by peacekeepers and U.N. personnel around the world.

In Haiti, the 2,370 military personnel will gradually leave over the next six months. A new peacekeeping mission will follow for an initial period of six months, comprised of just 1,275 police to continue training the national police force and assist in developing the rule of law and promoting human rights in Haiti.

Haley said the U.S. and the international community are committed to Haiti’s “democratic development, independence and economic growth.”

“We will, however, continue to push for accountability of those troops in Haiti as well as all troop-contributing countries involved in peacekeeping efforts,” she said.

“We owe it to the vulnerable in these countries who desperately need peace and security,” she told Security Council members. “I ask that you join me in this effort.”

Clean up the H-1B visa mill

The Trump administration is taking its first, cautious steps to clean up the much-abused H-1B visa system, by which skilled foreign workers are imported to fill jobs in the technology sector and other specialty occupations. The moves so far, mainly involving tighter oversight, are fine but inadequate.

Deeper reforms are needed for a program that, while vital to maintain the nation’s competitiveness, has been used to displace well-paid and older American workers with cheap and ostensibly temporary foreign labor and to turn some of those guest workers into virtual indentured servants.

As a candidate, Donald Trump talked out of both sides of his mouth, at different points saying he favored importing skilled guest workers into the U.S. and saying he didn’t like it, citing well-documented instances of abuse.

Now, as president, Trump is starting to move.

Just as tens of thousands of H-1B applications were filed last week, the administration announced that enforcement agents would intensify site visits to the companies that rely most heavily on the guest-workers program, especially Indian outsourcing firms that use it to import tens of thousands of information-tech workers annually. The goal will be to ensure that the guest workers qualify as “specialty” labor, which is a requirement of H-1B visas.

At the same time, the Justice Department announced it would not tolerate employer misuse of that program to discriminate against or displace American labor. Employers and some economists are at odds over the extent to which companies face a shortage of American workers to fill tech and other skilled jobs. Hence the importance of the H-1B program, which grants 85,000 visas annually to guest workers, nearly three-quarters of them from India – a fraction of the overall applications. Of that number, many have only bachelor’s degrees and are chosen by lottery; just 20,000 are foreign graduates of U.S. universities with advanced degrees.

Reforms are needed on several fronts. For starters, H-1B visa holders already in the country should be allowed to change jobs to prevent their exploitation by employers. More fundamentally, the program should be retooled to ensure that genuinely high-skilled labor is prioritized, not that of entrylevel programmers. That may disadvantage the big Indian outsourcing firms that flood the system with applications; so be it.

The current minimum salary of $60,000 for some programmers and other H-1B recipients also must be raised to an amount closer to the prevailing wage for comparably skilled American workers, which is more than $100,000. Otherwise, the visas will be continue to be used in too many cases to push U.S. employees onto the unemployment rolls.

Suicide disproportionate in rural areas The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study in March that showed suicides on the rise between 1999-2015, with 600,000 Americans taking their lives.

The highest annual rate was in 2015, the last year for which data was available. The authors found suicides increased across all levels of urbanization but noted a widening gap between urban and rural areas. In other words, they saw a trend where people were more likely to commit suicide in rural areas than in urban.

Preliminary numbers and the trend are similar for Tennessee.

Some 1,065 Tennesseans committed suicide in 2015, up from 945 recorded in 2014, according to Scott Ridgway, executive director of the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network.

The federal researchers found that suicides increased during the study period from 11 per 100,000 population in 1999 to about 11.5 in 2015 or about 5 percent in large central metropolitan areas. In rural areas, the numbers increased from 15 per 100,000 population in 1999 to 22 per 100,000 in 2015 or

about 32 percent.

Researchers attribute the increase and the trend in rise of rural suicides to a number of issues.

Those include limited access to mental health care, social isolation, the opioid overdose epidemic – because opioid misuse is associated with increased risk for suicide – and the economic recession.

People in rural areas often have no access to mental health facilities or services. Ridgway said that not that long ago Tennessee had community health centers in every county. Now, you may have to drive two or three counties away from your home to get help because mental health professionals tend to establish practices near urban centers.

Rural areas by nature are isolating, and people don’t like to talk about mental health issues or suicide for fear of being stigmatized.

That could be solved, Ridgway said, with training at clinics, emergency rooms and family practices and the use of a routine screening question: Have you

thought about suicide in the past two months?

Rural areas have been hard hit by the opioid epidemic, and the researchers suggested opioid misuse as increasing the risk of suicide.

Ridgway said that because Tennessee doesn’t do toxicology tests on every suicide or every overdose death, it’s hard to determine how many were because of opiates.

The economic recession of 2007-2009 also affected rural areas greater than urban areas and involved a longer recovery time.

Factories closing, folks losing jobs.

Even if they had access to mental health services, how would they pay for them?

The effect of a single suicide affects family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. In rural communities, the CDC report suggests it is a growing public health threat that needs a comprehensive preventive approach. Resources targeted toward rural communities, enhanced training for front-line health providers and relocation incentives for mental health professionals are ways we can begin to prevent suicides.

created locally. Business leaders can take the initiative to work with local high schools, colleges and community-based organizations to develop curricula that would produce candidates with the skills needed to fill job openings. A key role for local government and community leaders is to raise awareness about the skills gap and encourage local organizations to join together to identify skills needs and create training programs to fill those needs.

One example of this type of collaboration is the new Texas City Independent School District Industrial Trade Center. Texas City, located southeast of Houston, depends on industrial and petroleum businesses, both of which require skilled workers. The Industrial Trade Center is a partnership between the Texas City school district and local business leaders. It offers technical-skills training for maritime, construction trades, welding, pipe-fitting, instrumentation, electronics as well as machinist trades. It also trains students in soft skills, such as effective workplace communication, that will help them become more productive members of the workforce. Graduates will help close the local skills gap, earn middle-class wages and have the opportunity to improve their future earnings by regularly upgrading their certifications at the facility.

Another example is the collaboration between Year Up, a national nonprofit workforce development organization, and El Centro College, a community college in Dallas. These two organizations have joined with leading businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth community to offer an intensive one-

year program for college students ages 18 to 24, combining coaching, hands-on skills development and skills-based job internships at a variety of superb companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As students work toward a degree at El Centro College, Year Up provides them with professional development and work experience, which is intended to prepare students to begin meaningful careers.

These programs recognize that as technology increasingly disrupts various types of jobs – and challenges whole industries – the need for workers to be trained and retrained during their careers is likely to substantially increase in the years ahead. Skills-training programs and ecosystems that help workers launch their careers, or adapt to industry changes, are essential to creating growth in middle-class jobs.

In the future, programs such as these are likely to be hallmarks of successful communities.

In addition to proactively partnering to develop talent pipelines, business leaders can make a positive effect by hiring interns, providing job-shadowing opportunities, developing apprenticeship programs and offering incentives for their employees to further their education by signing up for specialized training.

The U.S. must work to find innovative ways to expand its workforce and improve productivity. Public-private partnerships that train current and prospective workers are critical to improving the prosperity of American businesses, towns, cities and our nation.

At the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting, I voted in favor of raising the federal funds rate. The U.S. economy is getting stronger and making good progress toward achieving the Federal Reserve’s full-employment and price-stability goals. Despite this progress, challenges remain that require broader steps beyond monetary policy.

Gross domestic product growth is driven by increases in the size of the labor force and gains in labor productivity. Higher levels of growth can lead to enhanced prosperity and also help the country better meet its substantial and growing future obligations for retirement and medical benefits.

Unfortunately, one headwind for economic growth is the declining rate of labor force participation in the U.S. At the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, we believe that the majority of this decline is because of aging population demographics, and that this trend will intensify in the years ahead. In addition, middle-class jobs are increasingly requiring higher skill levels.

To counteract these trends, the U.S. must work to find ways to expand the workforce and improve productivity.

One important vehicle for doing this involves policymakers, businesses and educational institutions working together to create skills-training programs that equip workers to either join the workforce or improve their skills so they can take higher-paying jobs.

Although creation of these partnerships is happening more often, I believe our country must make a quantum leap forward if we are to boost U.S. growth.

The skills gap in the U.S. is substantial. The National Federation of Independent Business found that as of first quarter 2017, 45 percent of small businesses reported that they were unable to find qualified applicants to fill job openings. Dallas Fed surveys of businesses also indicate a significant skills gap. Chief executive officers report shortages of workers for middle-class-wage jobs such as nurses, construction workers, truck drivers, oilfield workers, automotive technicians, industrial technicians, heavy equipment operators, computer network support specialists, web developers and insurance specialists. If these types of jobs go unfilled, businesses will expand more slowly and U.S. growth will be impeded.

Closing the skills gap likely will involve greater emphasis on training current and prospective workers who haven’t attended college. Although the labor force participation rate for prime-age workers is about 88 percent for college graduates and 81 percent for those who have attended some college, it is only 76 percent for those with a high school diploma and only 66 percent for those who have less than a high school diploma. In short, where there is substantial labor slack in the economy, it is highly correlated with segments of the population with lower levels of educational attainment. While there are a variety of reasons for this correlation, individuals in these segments would benefit from additional skills training in order to be more productive members of the workforce.

A nationwide focus on this challenge would be constructive, but ultimately skills-training partnerships must be

Pipe organ master keeps tradition alive

By VALERIE WELLS

Decatur Herald & Review KENNEY – Magnificent in appearance and sound, pipe organs still fill churches and concert halls with a regal air.

The need for repairs, preservation and musicians has set a new tone of urgency for an instrument that in the right hands (and feet) produces some of the world’s most recognizable, beautiful music.

In Kenney, the Rybolt Opera House, established in 1898, now houses a business devoted to building and repairing pipe organs.

Schneider Pipe Organs Inc. started with inadequate electrical wiring and dim bulbs hanging from the ceiling, said owner Richard Schneider, who has been a pipe organ wizard for more than 40 years. Schneider is a member of the American Institute of Organ Builders and has built and installed organs all over the country. Craftsmen in the field are few and far between. Learning to build pipe organs isn’t something offered at universities.

“You almost have to know somebody, and I really didn’t,” Schneider said. “A lot of companies are generational. If you’re on the outside, you don’t know who to ask or where to go.”

At the start of his venture, Schneider could only plug in one machine at a time, so if he needed the table saw, he had to unplug something else. Working on the building sometimes takes precedence over working on organs, too,

but the wiring and the lighting are long since upgraded, and the building is organized so that the parts and equipment he needs for the various tasks are together in their own areas.

The second floor is a wilderness of organ parts.

“This is where old organs go to die,” Schneider quipped as he walked around among the pedal boards, pipes, consoles and other pieces, stacked on shelves and leaning against walls.

He reuses anything he can, partly because it’s less expensive to repair and reuse than to make new parts, but also because using parts from vintage organs is a way to preserve the history of the art.

“When you have a small shop like ours, you have to pick your battles,” Schneider said. “We do a lot of repurposing.”

Schneider started in Michigan at Wicks Organ Co. when he was in high school and gradually learned all the ins and outs of building a pipe organ, from creating and voicing the pipes to hooking up the stops that make the organ sound like strings or reeds or woodwinds or everything at once.

He’s also a licensed electrical contractor, and with the more modern organs that use tiny chips and wiring inside to create the stops instead of the manual versions of yore, that’s an invaluable skill.

Schneider listens to recordings of pipe organ music while he works and attends organ recitals. He truly loves the instrument and what it can do, al-

though he doesn’t play himself. He can do enough to use the keyboard and pipe-testing setup in his shop to finetune pipes and connections. It’s the instrument itself, its intricacies and history, that fascinates him.

With the trend in churches moving more and more to contemporary Christian songs and away from hymns and traditional instruments, pipe organs aren’t used as often as they once were, and that saddens Schneider, who loves the sound and the tradition as well as the art of building and maintaining the instruments. He cites the megachurch movement, which popularized praise bands to the point that some churches stopped using their organs entirely.

“The cycle is kind of down with [pipe organs],” said Steve Widenhofer, director of Millikin University’s School of Music. “We don’t have many organ majors anymore. We always had some people taking it as a minor. Not many [still do]. We have one or two. It’s very sporadic.”

Widenhofer is one of two organists at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, which has a pipe organ that Schneider moved from the church’s former location on West Wood Street to its present location on West Mound Road. Moving a pipe organ and reinstalling the pipes is not easy, and it took some months to accomplish, using an entire crew. Although the pipes are not visible at the new building as they were at the old – they’re behind a wall where the altar and cross are located in the sanctuary.

During traditional services, the pipe or-

gan’s majestic sounds fill the church.

A pipe organ has two keyboards instead of one, and a bewildering array of stops to create the different sounds, many of which have to be operated as the musician plays to get different effects for different parts of the piece. The musician also has to play notes with their feet, playing the foot pedals which are, in effect, a third keyboard. Organists even have dedicated, special shoes to wear for those foot pedals.

St. Paul’s other organist, Linda Ippel, started piano lessons at age 5 and was 14 when she started taking organ lessons.

“It was like starting all over,” Ippel said. “The only thing that looks the same is the keyboard. The technique is different, and the coordination is a challenge, to try to coordinate hands and feet and manuals [stops].”

Ippel thought the ability to play a pipe organ would be useful, and her music teacher thought she had reached the level where she was ready for it. Soon after Ippel began those lessons, her teacher sent her to someone who was more accomplished on the pipe organ to continue teaching her. Ippel majored in organ performance and music education in college, and she said she was one of many organ majors at her university.

Trinity Lutheran Church’s organ is digital, but it has three keyboards and the foot pedals, and member Harry Kaminski said it’s been tough the past several years to find someone to play it for services. Trinity is traditional and doesn’t have a praise band, just the organ.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2017

WASHINGTON – The National Portrait Gallery is putting up a photograph of American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, often referred to as “The First Lady of Song.”

The portrait is on display beginning Thursday, ahead of the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald’s birth. Fitzgerald, who died in 1996 at age 79, would have celebrated her 100th birthday April 25.

The National Portrait Gallery said the photograph on display is of Fitzgerald in performance flanked by Ray Brown, Dizzy Gillespie and Milt Jackson. It was taken around 1974 by William Gottlieb.

Costumed fans of the “Star Wars” franchise wait in line Thursday outside the Orange County Center in Orlando, Fla., to attend the 2017 Star Wars Celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the original 1977 “Star Wars” film.

Ford visit, Fisher tribute launch ‘Star Wars’ event

How do you celebrate 40 years of “Star Wars” in 90 minutes? With a surprise Harrison Ford appearance, a touching Carrie Fisher tribute, a John Williams performance and a fair amount of jokes about George Lucas’ dialogue, of course. Attendees at Star Wars Celebration were treated to that and more Thursday in Orlando, Florida, at the kickoff of the four-day fan event marking the anniversary of Lucas’ space saga.

Actor Warwick Davis moderated the sprawling look-back at the four-decade legacy, featuring appearances by Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Hayden Christensen. There also were video messages from Liam Neeson, who joked that a film was being made about Jar Jar Binks going to the dark side, and from Samuel L. Jackson, who cheekily suggested that his prequel character, Mace Windu, is not dead.

“Let’s make it happen,” Jackson said directly to Kennedy. “All you gotta do is say the word.”

Ford’s unexpected appearance garnered the most enthusiastic response from the thousands of fans in the convention center.

“I can’t believe we managed to keep it a secret considering you landed your plane” on Interstate 4, Davis joked when the applause died down.

“It was a good landing,” Ford said, smiling.

The actor has historically had a tenuous relationship with the fandom around his character, Han Solo, but he appeared genuinely happy to reminisce Thursday about the lasting legacy of Lucas’ creation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Dave Chappelle has teamed up with John Mayer to remember comedian Charlie Murphy.

Chappelle appeared on stage at Mayer’s Columbus, Ohio, concert Wednesday night and told the crowd “everybody in comedy is heartbroken” about Murphy’s death from leukemia.

Chappelle told Mayer he was “a sight for sore eyes” after learning about Murphy’s death. At Chappelle’s request, Mayer played his song “You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me” in tribute to Murphy.

Murphy was a performer on Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show.” He was the subject of popular sketches in which Murphy retold his adventures with younger brother Eddie Murphy and celebrities such as Prince and Rick James.

Shelton’s defamation case against In Touch settled

LOS ANGELES – A judge has granted a request by lawyers for Blake Shelton and In Touch magazine to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by the country music star over a cover story that declared he was headed to rehab.

U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder signed the order Thursday. Filings seeking the dismissal did not include any details of a settlement, but said both sides will pay their own costs of the litigation.

Shelton’s attorney, Stanton “Larry” Stein, said the suit was amicably resolved, but he could not comment further. Attorneys for In Touch and its parent company, Bauer Publishing Co., did not respond to email messages.

Shelton sued the tabloid over a September 2015 cover story it published that declared “Rehab for Blake” and included several anecdotes of the singer’s alleged drunken antics.

He denied the incidents occurred.

Beckham’s daughter, 5, gets brand protection

LONDON – Harper Beckham is only 5 years old, but her famous mother already is taking steps to protect her brand.

Fashion designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has registered daughter Harper’s name with intellectual property authorities in Britain and Europe.

That will make it easier for Harper to market items in her own name and also offer her legal protections if she goes into show business.

The application filed in December names Victoria Beckham as the holder of the rights as parent and guardian.

The three sons of Victoria and soccer star David Beckham – Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – also have their names protected by earlier filings.

The Beckhams have amassed considerable wealth through Victoria’s music and David’s soccer career. Victoria Beckham has since launched a popular fashion label.

PARENTING

A reason for hope in Woodstock Chasing Lyons Maria Lyons It’s St. Baldrick’s season, and that means people are coming together for head-shaving events across our communities – all in the name of raising money for childhood cancer research.

But in Woodstock, the “2nd Annual Westwood Elementary School Goes Bald for the Brave” event Thursday was especially personal. The students, teachers, staff and parents who filled the gym were there to honor the life of Hope Fuller.

Hope was a Woodstock kid much like the students sitting cross-legged on the floor at Westwood. As her St. Baldrick’s page describes, she also was a “singer, actress, bari saxplayer, chef, swimmer, runner, and craft maker.” On March 10, 2010, Hope passed away after her own courageous battle with a vicious brain tumor. She was 12.

I did not know Hope or her family when I first heard their story in 2010.

But like so many others in Woodstock and neighboring towns, I was deeply touched by Hope’s spark and fighting spirit. Like so many others, I joined a Facebook group to support Hope and her family. Like so many others, I grieved for them when I learned she had passed away.

At the time, I did not know Hope’s cousin, Norah, would become my son Jackson’s kindergarten classmate later that year. I did not know Hope’s dad, Jay, would become Jackson’s gym teacher at Westwood. I did not know I would later meet Hope’s mom, Deb, through mutual friends, Facebook, and through running into each other at Westwood, where she works as a teacher.

These connections and Hope’s story brought me to Westwood’s first St. Baldrick’s event last year, and it’s something I won’t forget. The “shavees” were Hope’s fifth-grade teacher at Dean Street School, Kecia Griffin; Westwood’s former principal, Jason Eggert; and a brave group of student shavees, including Norah, who had shaved her head for her cousin at other St. Baldrick’s events the two previous years.

My tears fell as I listened to Deb tell the students about her daughter, Hope, and the importance of raising money and awareness for children and their families coping with cancer.

Participants in the “2nd Annual Westwood Elementary School Goes Bald for the Brave” on Thursday at the school included Westwood Principal Ryan Hart, fourth-grade dual-language teacher Brett Fankhauser, Pastor Tom Rogers, Westwood parent Josh Brown and an inspiring group of students from Westwood and other local schools: Charlie and Johnny (four-time shavees); David, Jack and Noah R. (two-time shavees); and Caleb, Mada Jo, Matthew, Noah T., Simon and Wyatt (first-time shavees). was among the heroes participating in this year’s event, including: Westwood Principal Ryan Hart, fourth-grade dual-language teacher Brett Fankhauser, Pastor Tom Rogers, Westwood parent Josh Brown and an inspiring group of students from Westwood and other local schools: Charlie and Johnny (four-time shavees); David, Jack and Noah R. (two-time shavees); and Caleb, Mada Jo, Matthew, Noah T., Simon and Wyatt (first-time shavees).

When asked by Deb, who emceed the event, why the students chose to shave their heads, here is some of what they told her: “Someday there is going to be a cure.”

“I feel like kids with cancer Hope Fuller of Woodstock died March 10, shouldn’t feel alone.”

“Somebody is going to get the diagnosis, and it’s not going to be the end.”

I walked away that day with a “My heart feels really full,” she sense of ... well ... hope. said. “I feel almost rejuvenated.”

Norah, now a middle-schooler, was It’s been seven years since this back at Westwood on Thursday to community lost Hope. Yet Hope rebrave her fourth shave for Hope. She mains a vivid influence and a source

of inspiration for Westwood school fundraisers like Alex’s Lemonade Stand – another foundation for childhood cancer – and the St. Baldrick’s event.

As the saying goes, hope springs eternal. It reassures me that, for most, it is in our nature to find reasons to be hopeful, optimistic, positive, wishful ... even in the most devastating circumstances. Hope certainly springs eternal at Westwood and in Woodstock, and the legacy of Hope Fuller lives on strong.

Since becoming a foundation, St. Baldrick’s has funded more than $200 million in grants to researchers working on the cutting edge of their fields.

Raue Center Gets Matching Opportunity of $25,000 for Its Second Phase of the Next Generation Fund SPONSORED BY

Started in the late spring of 2016, The Fund was designed to keep Raue Center thriving, vibrant and sustainable for children and adults alike.

Keeping a performing art center vital and relevant for generations to come is a lofty ambition and we have set our sights high, with a goal of raising $500,000 by July of 2018.

“We are thankful, we are part of a great community and are already off to a tremendous start.” Richard Kuranda Executive Director. Last year, early matching gifts from the Foglia Family Foundation and the Willow Springs Foundation (as well as donations from a number of other champions) were instrumental in allowing us to acquire a new classroom space for our Sage Studio Classes, as well as giving us the push we needed to start new initiatives like the family

friendly Williams Street Fest.

This year, our friends at Willow Springs Foundation have again heeded the call and generously contributed a matching gift of $25,000 to help kick start the “Next Generation Fund Drive 2017”. The Fund Drive hopes to maintain the momentum of this campaign, which has already raised over $400,000 for the Center.

Such results are a testament to our incredible community who understand the value of our mission “to enrich the lives of all through the power of the arts.”

Help further that mission by joining the match and making a tax deductible donation to Raue Center’s Next Generation Fund today.

Raue Center also drives the economy with estimated 4.2 million dollars per year Impact, and your contribution that will help push us over the top and ensure that Raue Center remains an economic, educational, and artistic cornerstone of the community for generations to come--

Julia, the new Muppet who debuted Monday on Sesame Street, has a bright red mop of hair, a sunny yellow face and big green eyes. She is adorable, and we are smitten by her laugh, her love of singing and her inventive game of Boing-Boing tag.

She also has autism, and the long-running show’s portrayal of the condition that affects 1 in 68 kids is sensitive and nuanced, a hint at the years of research that went into carefully crafting this lovely 4-year-old friend for Elmo, Abby Cadabby and the rest of the crew.

A child watching might not notice the subtleties, such as how the other characters don’t ask Julia a lot of open-ended questions, but rather offer her choices or say things to elicit a reaction. Or that Julia sometimes repeats a question before answering.

But as a parent of a child with autism, that quiet distinction stuck with me.

It’s exactly what I’ve found works best in communicating with my son.

It’s no surprise Sesame Workshop, which manages the show, gets so much right with Julia, given how long the show worked on her – they began

looking into creating a character for the Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children site and books about five years ago, according to Sherrie Westin, executive vice president for Global Impact and Philanthropy at Sesame Workshop. They consulted at least 14 organizations, including people with autism and those who work with them or have family members who are autistic, because they wanted to get as much input as possible.

“There are a lot of different opinions in the autism community, and they’re not all aligned,” Westin said.

“But this was not about a cause or a cure or any of the divisive issues.

Everyone was willing to come together around the goals and objectives because it was about destigmatizing autism and helping children feel like they’re not alone.”

And as cool as it is for children with autism to see themselves reflected in a Muppet, Julia has a lot to offer typically developing kids as well.

When I told my kids (both of whom aged out of “Sesame Street” many years ago) about the new character, they were excited. But it was my daughter who had the strongest reaction. Essentially, she said, maybe now

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley yes. How about a feeding tube that enters your stomach through your skin? For how long would you want such a measure?

These are not easy topics to consider, or to discuss with the ones you love. But they are important. Ideally, doctors could help with the discussion about end of life, but because the nature of doctors is to treat and heal, many have difficulty discussing end-of-life decisions with their patients. Studies have shown even with patients who face a life-limiting disease, physicians discuss advance directives only 40 to 45 percent of the time.

One study posed a hypothetical situation in which a man with stage 4 gastric cancer, metastasized to his lung, comes to the emergency room with his wife for severe shortness of breath. The husband and wife in this scenario did not have an advance directive, but their preference was for the husband to remain comfortable and out of the intensive care unit. Only 48 percent of the 27 physicians who treated this hypothetical patient were able to coax out the appropriate information in order to treat him in accordance with his goals and preferences.

Now, I know you don’t have gastric cancer, but death is an inevitability. Providing your loved ones, the medical system and yourself direction about your course of care gives you some control over that inevitability.

• Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Doctor: I am a 60-year-old man who exercises regularly and takes no medicines.

At my last physical exam, my doctor gave me an advance directive form. Do I really need to fill one out?

Dear Reader: Unequivocally, yes. Advance directives are forms providing direction to both family members and the medical community about your wishes in emergencies. More to the point, they specify what your wishes are, in case you can’t speak for yourself.

The first part of an advance directive asks whom you would want to make medical decisions for you. Termed a medical power of attorney, this can be your wife, one of your children or a very good friend. It cannot be your doctor. The crucial aspect of this choice is the level of trust you have in your decision maker. If you were to lose decision-making capacity, this person would speak with doctors about your care on your behalf – becoming both your advocate and the person who chooses resuscitative measures, if any. Not only should you trust the person to whom you give medical power of attorney, you also need to have frank conversations with that person about what you would want.

It sounds as if you’re healthy, and thus have a low likelihood of a major illness. But health problems can happen at any time.

If you were hospitalized for a heart attack, stroke or a traumatic brain injury, what choices would you want to make? If you were unable to breathe, would you want a tube, attached to a ventilator, placed into your lungs? The answer may be yes – but not indefinitely. If that’s the case, then for how long? Would you consider a tracheostomy, if you were on a ventilator for more than two weeks? Again, the answer may be

er that once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient. And yes, I believe you would come across as cheap. Either give the clothes out of the goodness of your heart, knowing you will reap rewards beyond the financial – or donate them yourself.

Dear Abby: “Full of Feeling in Arizona” (Jan. 21) wrote about her husband lacking sympathy, and was worried he may not be there emotionally for her children in the event of her dying before he does. Your answer to her was to “outlive him,” which had me rolling in laughter.

Perhaps another idea might be to write letters to her children now. A heartfelt letter taking family members through the loss of their mom (from their mom) or dad (from their mom who has already passed) may be very comforting to some. Or several letters for different occasions could be a beautiful gift.

Just a thought. – Chrissy In California Dear Chrissy: Other readers suggested letter writing (and a personalized video message) as potential solutions to this problem. Read on for a sampling of other comments: Dear Abby: Perhaps the mom should identify a relative or family friend to be aware of this issue and ready to step in and provide some support if needed. If the children and this person are alerted beforehand, they will know whom to turn to in case Mom predeceases her husband. Each child may wish to designate his or her own source of support, but the purpose of this exercise is to reassure the mother her kids will not be alone. – Maura In Oregon Dear Abby: This woman needs to know it’s OK for her husband to be hard-nosed about death.

While he should be more sympathetic to the feelings of others, he wasn’t raised that way.

His way of handling it is to put up a wall. Some people don’t have the same depth of feelings as others. Mine are much more matter-of-fact than my friends’. But I can appreciate that we all grieve in different ways. – David In Michigan Dear Abby: That woman’s husband could have Asperger’s syndrome, a type of high-functioning autism. These individuals, although accomplished and intelligent in many areas, have difficulty processing empathy. It makes them seem uncaring. This condition makes interaction between spouses extremely frustrating and difficult. It’s worth considering. – Audrey In Pennsylvania

Say this prayer nine times a day, on the eighth day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail.

Just after the robots at bridgebase.com had bid and made six hearts against my wife and me (see yesterday’s column), up came another one.

We had some scientific bidding.

Over West’s Unusual No-trump showing at least 5-5 in the minors, my wife’s three-club response was game-forcing with five-plus hearts.

(Instead, three hearts would have been natural and encouraging, but nonforcing.) After I agreed hearts, the next three calls were control-bids, North knowing that the king in partner’s first-bid suit is usually as good as the ace. Four no-trump was Roman Key Card Blackwood. Five clubs indicated three key cards (here, two aces and the heart king). Now I could envision a grand slam, so I asked for the heart queen. But when my partner denied that card, I settled for six hearts.

West led a top club. (It is common to lead the king from ace-king or king-queen when the contract is above four no-trump.) I ruffed and led a low heart. West’s club discard was not unexpected. I put in dummy’s heart jack, and surprisingly East played the nine. I ruffed a club, crossed to the spade 10, ruffed the third club, led a diamond to the ace, cashed the two top hearts and played on spades to make the slam.

There were 15 other tables in play. Four spades plus two was the result 11 times, almost every auction being one spade - two no-trump four spades - all pass. That was very bad evaluation of the North hand.

Even worse, four tables were in a partscore. Don’t ask!

C-G breaks through

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE — The best way to learn is through experience.

When Cary-Grove freshman Katy Wieczorek hit a towering shot over the left-field fence Thursday at Crystal Lake Central, she stopped at second base.

“I didn’t know where the ball went,” Wieczorek said. “I thought [the left fielder] caught it.”

The freshman had never hit one over the fence before. After the momentary confusion, Wieczorek rounded all four bases with her first career home run under her belt.

“Next time, I told her, she can enjoy it because she might know what happened,” Trojans coach Tammy Olson said.

The solo home run was one of many highlights for C-G in a 17-4 win over Crystal Lake Central in five innings.

The Trojans scored nine runs in the fifth inning, with all nine hitters in the lineup crossing the plate.

For C-G (1-6, 1-2 Fox Valley Conference), it was the first win of the season.

“We’ve got a lot of learning to do,” Olson said. “We’ve got a lot of inexperienced players. They’re learning; there’s no doubt about that.”

Gurgone had a two-run single in the second.

“We finally started stringing hits together,” Gurgone said. “We’re always saying hitting is contagious and we saw that today. It’s been a little shaky in the (early) season, but we figured it out today.”

Wieczorek went 3 for 3 with a walk, three runs and three RBIs. The freshman was hitting in the cleanup spot.

First baseman Kelly Johnson went 3

for 3 with a double and three RBIs. No. 9 hitter Victoria Beatty doubled home two runs in the fifth. She also scored two runs.

“It feels really good to come back from a few losses and get a good win,” Wieczorek said.

C-G sophomore Emma Hill pitched all five innings and allowed nine hits and four earned runs.

Central (2-5, 0-2 FVC) scored one run in the first and three in the second to pull within 6-4 before the Trojans broke it open. Starting pitcher Morgann Paaske allowed eight runs, six earned, in four innings.

Jenna Ward went 2 for 3 with two doubles and two runs scored. Clare Urbanski, hitting one spot behind Ward in the lineup, knocked her in both times.

Urbanski went 2 for 3 with two doubles and two RBIs. Paaske went 1 for 1 with a double, scoring a run and driving another run across. She also walked twice.

“It was a tough one,” coach Brian Strombom said. “We’re trying to find our way, and we’re going against a team that looked real good.”

Central committed four errors, allowing three unearned runs to score.

“We have to do the little things to make sure those base runners don’t find their way,” Strombom said. “We’re working at it.”

It was the Thunder’s second series sweep in KRC play.

“Meranda pitched a great game, he was mixing up speeds and we talked about taking the ball to the opposite field,” North coach John Oslovich said.

“We’re playing with a lot of confidence, that’s huge. Our guys are coming to the field expecting to win, expecting to compete.”

Marengo (3-8, 0-4) suffered a pair of one-run losses to the Thunder this week. Indians coach Josh Maas liked the fight he saw in his team, both early (Meranda left the bases loaded in the first inning) and late (the four-run rally in the seventh).

“For Matt to get out of that first inning and bear down was huge for us,” Maas said. “That’s huge being able to minimize in those situations.”

Then, after getting Dain Glaves out in the seventh, the Indians made it tight.

“I told the guys our goal was to get the tying run to the plate in the last inning,” Maas said. “We did even better than that, we got it to third base. I was extremely proud of the way they battled back.”

BASEBALL: JACOBS 5, HAMPSHIRE 4 (9 INN.)

Appeal on HR plays big role for Golden Eagles

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com ALGONQUIN – After belting what appeared to be a game-tying two-run home run to right field in the top of the fifth inning of Hampshire’s Fox Valley Conference game against Jacobs on Thursday, Whip-Purs left fielder Noah Schrader rounded the bases jubilantly.

Schrader was pumped up not just because he’d gone yard, but also because earlier in the game he’d narrowly missed homering to the same spot in right field by a matter of a few feet.

His excitement was short-lived, however, as moments later, Jacobs catcher Liam Oreskovich told the home plate umpire that Schrader failed to touch home plate when rounding the bases.

The Golden Eagles appealed the play, the umpire agreed, and Schrader was called out.

Instead of going down as a two-run homer in the box score, it wound up being scored a triple and an RBI, followed by an unassisted out by the catcher.

The bizarre play cost Hampshire a key run and was arguably the difference in the game, as the Whip-Purs eventual-

Despite allowing four runs in five innings for a no-decision, Hampshire starting pitcher Carter Lawler had excellent movement on all his pitches while striking out nine. ly fell to the Golden Eagles, 5-4, in nine innings.

“I’ve been around this game for decades, and I’ve only seen that same play happen once in my entire life,” said Hampshire coach John Sarna, whose

team fell to 6-7-1 overall, and 2-5 in the FVC. “I truly feel bad for Noah, because he’s a good kid who was just excited and made a momentary mental mistake. It is what it is.

“But credit to Jacobs’ catcher. He’s the one who noticed Noah missed the plate. That’s heads-up baseball, and it was a key reason they won. I can’t pin it all on one play, because we made other errors that were costly, but this one was tough to swallow. We’ll learn from it and move forward.”

Jacobs coach Jamie Murray had a similar reaction.

“In my 23 years of baseball, which includes playing at Bradley, coaching legion ball, coaching high school ball ...

I’ve never seen that happen to a player at home plate, specifically,” Murray said.

Oddly, on offense, Oreskovich also was hit with a pair of pitches while batting and drew a walk, yet scored two of Jacobs’ five runs.

“It’s truly something to see a kid who didn’t even have a base hit today have such a big influence on the outcome of a baseball game,” Murray said of his catcher.

After falling behind 1-0 in the first in-

ning, Jacobs rallied to take a 4-1 lead on a pair of runs in the second and third innings, which included a wild pitch and a double steal in the second, followed by a bloop two-RBI single by Matt Camp in the third.

But Hampshire scored once in the fourth and twice more in the fifth to tie the game. Both teams were scoreless in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings.

Jacobs (10-2, 3-1) then got a pinch-hit single to lead off the bottom of the ninth from junior Cam Arvidson in his first varsity at-bat, and he scored the winning run on a bobbled ground ball with the bases loaded three batters later for a walk-off win.

“I was a bit nervous up there, but I got a fastball and managed to put the bat on it and get on base to help my team in a key spot,” Arvidson said. “It’s a pretty thrilling way to make my debut, I guess.”

Seventeen of Jacobs’ 23 players are first-year varsity players, yet they find themselves eight games above .500 two weeks into April.

“Our kids have taken our suggestions and coaching extremely well,” Murray said.

R-B offense can’t get started on road Rockets unable to put shot on goal

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com BURLINGTON – In the opening minutes of Thursday’s game – the biggest test of the year thus far – Richmond-Burton girls soccer coach Casey DeCaluwe implored his players to calm down, settle the play and get more comfortable on the ball. Over the course of 80 minutes, that calm never seemed to come.

Burlington Central dominated possession, and the constant pressure left R-B worn down. The visitors struggled to connect and sustain any attacking foray out of their own half.

Burlington scored twice in the first half, once right before the break, and went on to beat R-B, 5-0, in a Kishwaukee River Conference match. The win puts Burlington (8-1-1, 4-0 KRC) in first place, pulling ahead of R-B (5-2-1, 5-1).

With no school Friday, they play at 9 a.m. and 10:30 in the tournament they are hosting. ing here, and that’s obviously not an excuse to not show up, but we didn’t come out with any intensity,” DeCaluwe said.

“We gave up early corner kicks, and then you’re stuck in your own half and

you feel like you can’t get out. I did see a lot of fight after giving up the first goal, it’s kind of a dagger giving up a goal with 35 seconds to go in the first half.”

It was another frustrating loss in Burlington for R-B after losing there last year, 8-1.

“For sure one of our biggest rivals in conference, and our last escapades with these guys have definitely been a fight just like this game,” R-B goalkeeper Lindsy Restis said. “We wanted to come in confident, knowing we were going to fight, and that’s just what we did.”

The hosts, however, took control pretty much from the start. Burlington used every inch of its wide field to stretch out the visitors, leaving R-B constantly chasing play on the wings.

“I think we get spread out on a field that’s 88 yards wide, and when they have the speed on the flanks, we are certainly not as fast as Burlington Central,” DeCaluwe said. “Hats off to them; they moved the ball quickly ... and at times we were just chasing.”

Burlington’s Jordan King opened the scoring in the 19th minute, finish-

ing a move that developed down the left wing. Anna McMahon doubled the lead just 35 seconds before halftime on another attack that built down R-B’s flank before cutting to the middle.

“Definitely, as soon as they scored and it was almost the end of the half, it was defeating,” Restis said. “But we tried to come out in the second half and press on them, but it’s definitely hard when they keep scoring on you. It is hard to get up, because you have tired legs.

“You’re defending the entire game.

It’s really hard to push up on them because their defense has fresh legs because they’re not doing anything and our defense has really tired legs.”

Burlington’s Kyrsten Callie Pellikan made it 3-0 nine minutes into the second half before Zoey Kollhoff scored and McMahon got her second to round out the five-goal night.

Restis finished with 17 saves, many of which helped R-B hang around, while the visitors’ offense didn’t force a single save from Burlington keeper Erin Rafferty.

month of the season, going 7-0 with a 1.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 43 strikeouts in 42 innings.

Connell, a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection as a sophomore, leads the area in wins. Two of those wins came in relief, including Tuesday’s 13-7 victory over Burlington Central that extended the Indians’ conference winning streak to 52 games.

Burlington Central was the last team to beat Marengo in conference play, in 2013. Connell entered in the third with the Indians trailing, 6-4, and tossed the final five. She gave up a run on three hits with six strikeouts and a walk.

She also started and won the Rockford East Tournament championship against Carmel, giving up two runs on seven hits over seven innings with seven strikeouts and two walks.

She’s a freshman: McHenry freshman second baseman Jocelyn Currie has made life difficult on opposing pitchers so far.

She almost hit a grand slam in McHenry’s 7-6 nonconference victory against Wauconda, hitting the ball a couple of feet from the top of the fence and clearing the bases for a three-run double. On Tuesday, she connected for her first high school home run in a 7-2 FVC victory over Cary-Grove and was 4 for 4 with a homer, double, three runs scored and two RBIs. Her big hit against Wauconda got the attention of Kentucky freshman and Warriors alum Alex Martens, who tweeted, “I’m your biggest fan.” Currie plays on the same travel team, Illinois Chill Gold, that Martens played on.

Through Tuesday’s games, Currie was hitting 13 for 24 (.542) with one homer, two doubles,

one triple, nine runs scored and seven RBIs. Along with Currie, sophomore shortstop Tori Boysen and junior first baseman Mannon Amelio have been swinging hot bats for the Warriors (3-5, 1-1 FVC).

Thunder struck: Woodstock North sophomore third baseman Chloe Vermett blasted two home runs in a 4-3 loss to Richmond-Burton on Wednesday, accounting for all three of her team’s runs. She hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fourth and had a solo home run in the sixth that tied the score.

Both shots against Richmond-Burton’s Sophie Schwegel were no-doubters. On Tuesday, she hit her first homer in an 8-7 loss to Johnsburg.

With three homers in nine games, Vermett tied her own school record for single-season home runs. She also set North’s career homer record with six after hitting three as a freshman.

8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS

Money grab: Huskies add FSU in 2018

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Early in the 2018 football season, Northern Illinois will get a chance at a major upset when the Huskies play at Florida State.

More importantly, NIU is going to get a major payday.

The two teams will play each other Sept. 22 in Tallahassee in the third game of the 2018 season, and NIU will earn a guarantee of $1.6 million for the game.

“This is about being as lean a department that we could possibly be and we’re as lean as we could possibly get right now, so this money helps us keep the wolves at the door and save people’s jobs and do things, quite frankly, to help our university and to help our department,” NIU athletic director Sean Frazier said.

Frazier said the school is feeling the hit of the Illinois state budget impasse, which started in July 2015. The payday also will help with athletic operations and the department’s bottom line, Frazier said.

“It’s tough. I don’t want to beat up on the politicians because I’ve never been one, but ... I wanted to explain that it’s altered a lot of things that we wanted to

run on six hits with nine strikeouts and six walks. Chloe Skorija took the loss for the Gators (7-3, 1-1). She gave up four runs (one earned) on eight hits in six innings, striking three and walking five.

Carly Chovanec finished 3 for 3 with an RBI for South, while Brittany Baker had a double and a run scored.

Prairie Ridge 15, McHenry 5 (5 inn.): At Crystal Lake, Maddie Schillinger was 4 for 4 with a double, an RBI and two steals to lead the Wolves to an FVC win. Kylie Leverenz finished 3 for 4 with three runs scored, Shannon Donaldson went 2 for 2 with an RBI double, and Jill Minutillo was 2 for 2 with three RBIs. Maggie Schremp had two hits, three RBIs and three runs scored.

Hailey Baker earned the win for Prairie Ridge (6-0, 3-0), allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits with four strikeouts and no walks.

Jocelyn Currie had a double and two RBIs for McHenry (3-6, 1-2), Mannon Amelio and Lindsey Ciesla each drove in a run, and Tori Boysen went 2 for 3.

Hampshire 12, Jacobs 6: At Algonquin, the Whip-Purs pounded out 20 hits to beat the Golden Eagles in FVC play. Melissa Esparza went 3 for 5 with four RBIs, Delaney Rummell was 4 for 5 with a solo

Lynch recently was named NIU’s running backs coach. do because of the financial stress that’s been put on our operation,” Frazier said of the lack of a state budget. “The home run and three runs scored, and Sarah Bowen was 4 for 5 with two doubles and two RBIs. Renee Malecke had a double and three RBIs for Hampshire (44, 2-1), Morgan Haefling was 3 for 5 with three runs scored, and Gwen Malecke had two hits, three runs scored and an RBI. Jasmine Lopez won in relief.

Grace O’Malley went 3 for 3 with two RBIs for Jacobs (4-3-1, 1-1), Savannah Svedman was 2 for 3 with two doubles, and Kerri Healy was 3 for 3.

Marengo 11, Johnsburg 0 (5 inn.): At Marengo, Leah Secor was 3 for 4 with a homer, double, two RBIs and two runs scored for the Indians in a KRC win. Mariah Dionne allowed a hit in a five-inning shutout for Marengo (11-2, 3-0).

Anna Walsweer was 2 for 3 with a double, triple, three runs scored and two RBIs, and Hannah Ritter was 3 for 4 with a double, an RBI and a pair of runs.

Megan Anthony, Susie Nawrot, Lauren Aubry (2 for 2), Nina Reed and Dani Hartmann all drove in a run.

Adriana Montewska had the only hit for the Skyhawks (3-6, 1-2), a double.

Woodstock North 3, Woodstock 1: At Woodstock, Ellie Thurow struck out 17 for the Thunder in a KRC win. Thurow went all seven innings, allowing an unearned run on three hits and walking one. Tori Galicia drove in a run for North (5-5, 1-2 KRC), while Chloe Vermett scored two runs.

truth is, most likely, we would not have had this game or made this change if it wasn’t because of the state impasse.”

Frazier said the $1.6 guarantee from Florida State is the largest in NIU history. The Huskies got a $900,000 guarantee from Ohio State for the game in 2015, in which the Huskies almost stunned the top-ranked Buckeyes before falling, 20-13.

Buffalo recently made headlines for cutting four of its athletic programs, including men’s soccer and baseball. NIU has 17 athletic programs and would need to keep at least 16 to keep Football Bowl Subdivision status. Frazier said there hasn’t been a discussion about dropping programs and playing at the Football Championship Subdivision level.

“We haven’t had those talks,” Frazier said. “No, no, no, that’s never been a discussion with me, nor would I advocate for that at all.”

The game against Florida State replaces a game NIU had against Idaho that was scheduled for Sept. 22 at Huskie Stadium. The Huskies’ nonconference slate is difficult in 2018, with games at Florida State, Iowa (Sept. 1) and BYU (Oct. 27) and a home game against Utah (Sept. 8).

The Seminoles, who won the na-

tional championship in 2014, finished last year with a 10-3 record and were ranked No. 8 in the final poll. All four of the Huskies’ 2018 opponents made bowl games last season, with Iowa finishing 8-5 and BYU and Utah each going 9-4.

Utah was ranked No. 23 in the final poll.

“I’m a football guy, and if you look at it competitively, we already had a competitive schedule,” Frazier said. “I put together a very good schedule for us, and to add [Florida State], in all due respect to Florida State, the main motivation was to deal with our financial strife. ... It’s not like we needed another Power 5 team on our schedule. We have a pretty aggressive and ambitious schedule without them. This makes it even more competitive.”

According to the university, NIU has received one of the three installments of payment from Florida State.

Frazier said he reached out to Florida State initially with talks about a game, which filled a hole in the Seminoles’ schedule. The game will be a rematch of the 2013 Orange Bowl. The Huskies, who were led at quarterback by current running backs coach Jordan Lynch, trailed 17-10 early in the third quarter before the Seminoles scored 14 unanswered points for a 31-10 victory.

Joanna Watson pitched all seven innings for Woodstock, allowing no earned runs on five hits with six strikeouts and seven walks. Jocelyn Eisenmenger drove in a run.

Woodstock 5, Marengo 1: At Marengo, Autumn Overly and Grace Maidment each scored twice and added an assist to lead the Blue Streaks to a KRC win.

Diana Santillan-Ceja made one save in the first half, and Taylor Gonio had two saves after halftime.

Steelers chairman Rooney dies; namesake of minority-hiring rule

Dan Rooney, the powerful and popular Pittsburgh Steelers chairman whose name is attached to the NFL’s landmark initiative in minority hiring, died Thursday. He was 84.

Details were not immediately available.

Rooney took over operation of the team in the 1960s from his father, Art, who founded the franchise. Over the decades he became one of the most powerful and innovative forces within the game, developing the Rooney Rule under which NFL teams are required to interview minority candidates for coaching and front-office positions.

10 WHITE SOX 10, INDIANS 4

Cabrera delivers, leaves to be with wife

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

WHITE SOX 10, INDIANS 4

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CLEVELAND – Melky Cabrera will be missed when he’s gone for the weekend to be with his wife as she gives birth to their daughter Friday.

“Melky, for me, is one of the premier hitters in baseball,’’ manager Rick Renteria said.

“Premier” is high praise, to be sure, but there is no doubt Cabrera is arguably the best all-around hitter on the Sox, and he showed Thursday how to step up to the plate when dedicating a game to a special cause. Cabrera singled and scored in a five-run first inning against Josh Tomlin that paced the Sox to a 10-4 victory, and also walked and scored in a two-run second and doubled in the fourth.

The victory, coming a night after left-hander Derek Holland dedicated six scoreless innings to his late grandmother, gave the Sox two out of three from the defending American League champions at a park where they are 1425 since 2013. They’ll take a 4-4 record into their weekend road series against the Twins, without Cabrera.

Beforehand, Cabrera said he was “nervous” because he planned to witness the birth. He and his wife have three children, ages 7, 6 and 4.

“This is going to be the first time I’m going to be there watching the whole process,’’ Cabrera said. “I’m going to be anxious and nervous at the same time.”

The Sox entered the game ranked 13th in the American League with 25

The White Sox’s Avisail Garcia hits an RBI-single off Indians relief pitcher Dan Otero in the eighth inning Thursday in Cleveland. Jose Abreu scored on the play. runs scored in seven games and ranked in the bottom third in batting average, OPS, slugging and homers. The timing for Cabrera going away, with Todd Frazier battling illness and Geovany Soto (three of the team’s six homers) going on the disabled list, could have been better.

“To have him be with his family, everybody understands that, and we want him to go down there,’’ Renteria said.

“I will be happier if we win today because I want to dedicate this game to my new daughter,’’ Cabrera said. “I want to win today.’’

That wish was granted, thanks to

an early barrage of unprecedented offense beginning on the first pitch when Tim Anderson homered over the tall left field wall. After Avisail Garcia extended the inning and his hitting streak with a two-out single, Matt Davidson, filling in for Frazier at third base, hit a three-run homer to right field to make it 4-0.

Garcia (3-for-4) drove in two more runs in the second with a two-out single, walked in the fourth and drove in another run with a single in the eighth.

He has hit safely in all eight games and is batting .452 with eight RBIs. “I want to be consistent all year

A second victory in as many outings looked like easy pickings for righthander Miguel Gonzalez, who entered with a 2.74 ERA over his last 12 starts dating to last July, but struggled with fastball command and couldn’t finish the fifth to qualify for the victory. After giving up four hits in the fifth, including Michael Brantley’s first homer since 2015 and an RBI double to Lonnie Chisenhall, Renteria went to Anthony Swarzak with two outs.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Willy Garcia likely to come up to fill open outfield spot

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CLEVELAND – Willy Garcia has turned heads at Triple-A Charlotte, and as luck would have it, he’s expected to show what he can do with the White Sox this weekend.

With left fielder Melky Cabrera going on paternity leave for the weekend series in Minnesota, Garcia could make his major league debut as a temporary replacement.

Obtained on waivers from the Pirates in January, the 24-year-old right fielder appears to be fixing the plate discipline issues that have stalled his ascent to the major leagues. The Sox haven’t announced it, but all indications point to him joining the team Friday for three games.

“Things are definitely trending in the right direction for him,” said Sox director of player development Chris Getz, who was in Charlotte to watch the Knights open their season last week. “He’s an interesting guy. Very athletic – he has a lot of tools.”

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound, strongarmed right-handed hitting Dominican at one time was ranked 12th on Pirates prospects lists. But high strikeout rates and declining power at Triple-A Indianapolis in 2016 prompted the Pirates to cut him loose.

Garcia, batting fourth, was 11 for 26 with two homers, eight walks and six RBIs in the Knights’ first seven games and was named the International League’s first Hitter of the Week.

“Since we got him, he’s shown up every day, wants to work and un-

derstands what he needs to do to improve,” Getz said. “He knows what his plate discipline issues were. And he’s done a lot of things to correct some of the things that got him in trouble. He’s starting to take walks.”

Garcia’s presence opens the possibility of an all-Garcia outfield with Leury and Avisail.

Soto placed on DL, Smith brought up:

Catcher Geovany Soto was placed on the 10-day disabled list (retroactive to April 12) with right elbow inflammation. The Sox purchased the contract of catcher Kevan Smith from Charlotte.

Soto, scratched before the Sox’s 2-1 victory over the Indians on Wednesday, said an MRI exam showed no serious damage.

“It’s really uncomfortable,’’ he said.

“While we all play with aches and

pains, there comes to a time where … I have to listen to my body.”

Smith, 28, was 7 for 16 with two doubles and nine RBIs in his first four games with Charlotte after he appeared in 16 games during spring training. In Arizona he batted .343 with one homer and four RBIs. He spent most of 2016 with Charlotte, batting .219 with eight homers in 49 games. He also appeared in seven games with the Sox – going 2 for 16.

Soto, who clubbed three homers in five games, has a history of injury woes. He was limited to 26 games with the Angels last season because of knee problems and only 24 games in 2014 with the A’s and Rangers because of knee and groin injuries.

The Sox’s 40-man roster increases to 40 after the moves.

CUBS NOTES

Almora’s got Anderson’s back

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – Albert Almora Jr. was a run-saver Thursday for the Cubs in their 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field.

Almora twice robbed the Dodgers’ Corey Seager, leaping at the center-field wall in the first inning to make a catch and then running back toward the wall and catching Seager’s drive to end the third and leave a runner stranded at second base.

“The thing that I talk to our guys (about), and I think I’ve said it before, it’s the only game where the defense has the baseball, so we need to dictate the action,” manager Joe Maddon said. “You need to make the routine plays, absolutely, but whenever you can make the little bit better than routine, when you can catch line drives because of positioning or just athleticism, it totally deflates the other side.

“That’s almost like hitting a home run or getting a bases-loaded double regarding the energy that’s created in your dugout. We feed off our defense. We absolutely do. When we make a good play, the whole bench goes nuts. Guys come off the bench.”

Almora’s defense always has been a part of his game, even back to when the Cubs took him in the first round of the 2012 draft.

Cubs center fielder Albert Almora Jr. leaps to make a catch of a ball hit by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Corey Seager during the first inning Thursday at Wrigley Field. Almora robbed Seager at the wall twice in the Cubs’ 4-0 victory.

CHICAGO – Kyle Schwarber almost pulled it off.

In the top of the third inning of Thursday’s 4-0 victory over the Dodgers, the Cubs’ left fielder ran back to the wall in left-center on a drive hit by the Dodgers’ Kiké Hernandez. The ball hit Schwarber’s glove and popped up and out. Schwarber looked to have recovered to make a juggling catch.

Umpires ruled Hernandez out initially, but the Dodgers challenged the call, and replay showed the ball grazing the vines before going back into Schwarber’s glove, and Hernandez had a double.

“It was close,” Schwarber said. “I thought it was going to come back a little bit more because of the wind.

What I could have done better is get back to the wall. But I still tried. I wish it would have stuck in there the first time, too, and not popped out. I tried to get it, but I guess it ended up hitting the ivy.”

Center fielder Albert Almora Jr. tried “selling” the play as a great catch, and the umpires initially agreed. But alas, the camera never blinks, and replay overturned the catch.

What did Schwarber think in his heart of hearts?

“I was like, ‘They might not be able to overturn it,’ ” he said. “But I remember when I stuck my glove out, I could see it kind of touch the ivy, and I said, ‘Ah, they’re probably going to overturn this.’ I was going to be really upset if they gave him a home run because he kept running, and I didn’t know the rule on that. [Umpire Sam Holbrook] signaled out, and I guess that’s why they put him at second.”

Rondon checks out OK: Relief pitcher Hector Rondon could be back in action Friday or Saturday. Rondon said he felt his left knee “pop” while covering the plate in Wednesday night’s game.

He went for an MRI exam Thursday morning and was back at the ballpark.

“Not overtly definitive other than he felt really good today,” manager Joe Maddon said. Talking to PJ (athletic trainer Mainville), we don’t anticipate anything extended. I’m thinking like maybe tomorrow. He told Lester (bullpen coach Strode) he felt great in the bullpen today. We’ll see what he looks like when he comes in tomorrow.”

12 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS – FIRST ROUND: PREDATORS 1, BLACKHAWKS 0 (PREDATORS LEAD, 1-0)

Hawks’ sluggish start proves costly

By MARK LAZERUS

Blackhawks vs. Predators

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – By the time the anthem was over and the 22,075 fans were done screaming themselves red in the face and the puck was dropped, it had been about three weeks since the Blackhawks had played a truly meaningful game.

Heck, it had been almost a year if you regard the regular season as an extended training camp for the games that really count – “the fun hockey,” as Brent Seabrook put it.

And for all the perennial talk about how good the tried and tested Hawks are at flipping the switch come the playoffs, they sure spent the first 20 minutes looking like a team that was still struggling to find it in the dark.

It took them exactly one period to find it. And it was still one period too late.

The Hawks lost Game 1 of their first-round series against the Nashville Predators, 1-0, on Thursday night, as Pekka Rinne (29 saves) outdueled Corey Crawford (19 saves). It was their second straight 1-0 loss to open the playoffs, coming on the heels of last April’s overtime loss in St. Louis. It’s also their first Game 1 not to go to overtime since 2011.

It’s the first 1-0 playoff victory in Predators history, and their first road shutout.

Game 2 is Saturday night.

The two rivals – and they are rivals, second only to the St. Louis Blues these days for the Hawks – didn’t take long to get into it. Roman Josi put a shoulder into Patrick Kane after the first whistle of the game. Yannick Weber cross-checked Marcus Kruger from behind, and the two exchanged words and shoves. Ryan Hartman was getting chatty early on. Richard Panik even appeared to deliver some snark to Ryan Johansen after the Predators’ center flipped the puck over the glass for a pen-

Jonathan Toews and P.K. Subban got into it later in the second.

But more concerning for the Hawks was what happened between the whistles, not after them. After a decent first few minutes, the Hawks went almost 14 minutes without a shot on goal, Duncan Keith’s harmless fling from center ice with five seconds left finally resetting the clock. In fact, all six of the Hawks’ shots in the first period were from the perimeter, as Nashville kept the Hawks to the outside and kept their sticks and skates in every shooting lane.

It was exactly the opposite of what Seabrook said the Hawks needed.

“Whatever happens over the course of the game, we want to come out and

have a good start and play our game, and then get off to a good start in the series,” he said. “Play our game. I know I sound like a broken record to you guys, but we want to focus on just playing our game.

That’s really it.”

Early in that shot drought, the Hawks’ top line had a disastrous defensive shift that led directly to a Viktor Arvidsson goal. Nick Schmaltz, Panik and Toews all converged on Johansen at the same time, with Schmaltz falling and taking out his teammates in a Keystone Kops moment. Johansen sent the puck across to Filip Forsberg, and Forsberg’s shot on goal was redirected past Crawford by Arvidsson, Nashville’s terrific 24-year-old star in the making.

ter that, playing less than two minutes in the second period, with Tanner Kero taking his spot on the top line. Joel Quenneville also started double-shifting Kane on the fourth line, and the Hawks took over the game in the second. With Hartman, Kruger and Marian Hossa leading the way, the Hawks camped out in the Predators’ zone for seemingly the entire period. But Rinne robbed Kane pointblank on an early power play, and the Predators held on for dear life by stepping in front of every shot they could.

Despite utterly dominating the period, the Hawks only had a modest 12 shots on goal in the period,and failed to tie the game.

Panarin enters postseason brimming with confidence

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It’s easy to imagine Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman sweating out the last few games of the season as coach Joel Quenneville eagerly (and successfully) tried to ensure that Artemi Panarin would finish in the top 10 among forwards in points and secure his $1.725 million bonus – one that will count against the Hawks’ salary cap next season.

But Bowman wasn’t sweating it. He was expecting it.

“When we come into the season, we assume he’s going to get the bonus,” Bowman said. “Then if he doesn’t, we readjust. So we’re not really caught off guard. My preparation for next year – that’s what we’ve been planning on all year.

he doesn’t try to think about his bonus, or his point total, or his standing in the league, because he said it can get in his head and affect his play. When asked Thursday whether he views himself as a top player in the league after his second consecutive 30-goal, 70-point season, he demurred, saying via an interpreter than he is “always trying to keep my feet on the ground.”

But as he enters his second career Stanley Cup playoffs, he’s more comfortable and more confident than ever. And even after posting two goals and five assists in a seven-game first-round loss

to the St. Louis Blues last spring, he’s expecting more from himself this time around.

“I was probably a little bit more nervous last season, in my first playoffs,” he said. “I feel better now than last season. … I’m not nervous. I know the game is going to be more physical, more provocative. I’m ready for it.”

Panarin’s comfort level is growing off the ice, too. He can converse relatively well in English, although he still conducts interviews in Russian. And he’s taken to Twitter in recent weeks, interacting on a near-nightly basis with fans.
