‘There’s a bee on my arm, but keep talking’ Telemarketers. I betcha that’s exactly what you were thinking about when you read the title of this column.

But for those of you who cannot connect the dots between a bee on my arm and telemarketers, just hang in there and keep on reading. I promise you, you’ll eventually see the clear correlation.

First of all, let’s not feel sorry for telemarketers. They are like pirates on the open communication sea, pillaging our time and our privacy. They belay the National Do Not Call Registry. They deep six the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and are ready to blow the man down with ID manipulation and robots and will give no quarter to a polite “No thank you.”

So, please, no sentimentality for a paid bilge rat whose code of conduct is “Every Man for Himself.”

Just how do they do it? How do they get on board?

Telemarketing companies have computers that are constantly dialing thousands of numbers. These are called “predictive dialers.”

When it thinks that a human has answered its call, it signals an agent to step in.

This takes a few seconds, and that’s why you stand there saying “Hello” a few times.

That gives the predictive dialer a chance to determine that it has found a real person. Then there’s a slight pause before the telemarketer weighs anchor on you.

At this point, you have two options: 1) Hang up, or 2) Seek pirate’s revenge. Since you already know how to hang up, let me share with you the revenge part.

There’s a landlubber named Roger Anderson who has figured out a way to rock the telemarketer’s boat. He founded the Jolly Roger Telephone Co. and offers a service to shiver the timbers of the telemarketing industry.

Roger has created a robot program that identifies telemarketing calls and answers them for you. But it gets better. His robot will actually talk with the telemarketer and have them thinking that they are talking to an actual person. The conversation can linger several minutes as, ironically, you are now wasting the telemarketer’s time.

Roger’s automated recording consists of a series of polite and creative responses that are

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava triggered by the silent pause when the telemarketer asks a question or waits for a comment.

It sounds something like this …

“Hello … hello?” (Pausing for telemarketer to respond.)

“Hi, my name is Frank, how are you today?”

“Uh-huh.”

“So you’re doing OK today?”

“Right.”

“Good. Are you happy with your credit card rate?”

“Sure.”

“Sir, would you like to lower your credit card rate?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Great, which card do you want to lower?”

“Oh no, hang on. … There’s a bee on my arm … but keep talking. ... I’m gonna stay quiet because this bee’s freaking me out. … Go ahead.”

(Telemarketer continues his script, robot answers with a series of “Right,” “Sure” and “Uh-huh” responses.)

“Sir, what do you think of this offer?”

“OK … it’s still on my arm … crawling around, but it’s not upset yet … but I’m afraid to touch it, so you keep talking … I’m just gonna stay quiet.”

(Telemarketer continues.)

“OK, it’s gone … um … so the bee is gone … and … um … I’m sorry … I wasn’t really listening to you during the bee thing. Actually I was just concentrating on the bee. Could you start over? What were you saying during the bee?”

(Telemarketer sighs and begins again, followed by the “Uh-huhs,” etc.)

This can go on and on for several minutes.

The telemarketer is talking to a robot and doesn’t realize it, and thus, my buckaroo, you’ve got Blackbeard sailing around in circles.

Arrrrr!

A FRIEND REMEMBERED

Dan Anderson known around homeless community as all-around good guy

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Richard Cozza sometimes still expects his friend, Dan Anderson, to walk through the doors of the Old Firehouse Assistance Center for lunch.

But the man was killed in a hitand-run crash last month on Route 14.

Anderson was a frequent visitor of Woodstock’s Old Firehouse

Assistance Center, operated by the McHenry County Housing Authority, as is Cozza. Cozza had known Anderson for about three years.

“He was a good person. It’s still hard. I miss him a lot,” Cozza said.

“I hope they catch the guy that did it. He probably would have made it if [the driver] had stopped.”

Anderson, 43, was known around the homeless community for his waist-length brown hair and gentle nature. He tried not to cause trouble,

always had a cigarette to spare, and his friends described him as polite, caring and an all-around good guy.

Anderson was killed March 30 after being struck by what police describe as a red sedan on Route 14 in Woodstock. The vehicle fled the scene, and the investigation is ongoing.

Multiple people at the assistance center, including Cozza, said that Anderson’s medication had been stolen the week he was killed. He

needed to refill his prescription at Centegra Hospital – located on Route 14 – where he eventually was pronounced dead.

“He was headed to the hospital to get his medicine, that’s what he told me,” Cozza said. “Someone took his medicine one day, and the next thing you know, he got killed.”

Anderson didn’t get recognition in the form of an obituary, but First

McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office hires outside lawyers in Casciaro lawsuit

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office has hired a Lisle law firm to represent the county and a prosecutor named in a wrongful prosecution lawsuit filed by Mario Casciaro.

Casciaro, 33, sued last month, seeking money damages from McHenry County, prosecutor Michael Combs, members of the Johnsburg Police Department and the village of Johnsburg. He claims authorities violated his rights when they investigated and later prosecuted him for the murder of Johnsburg teen Brian Carrick.

A jury convicted Casciaro in 2013, and a judge sentenced him to 26 years in prison.

He spent 22 months in Menard Correctional Facility before the 2nd District Appellate Court overturned the conviction. Casciaro was released from prison in September 2015.

Terry Ekl, Patrick Provenzale and Tracy Stanker of Ekl, Williams & Provenzale LLC have filed appearanc-

More online To see the lawsuit filed by Mario Casciaro, visit NWHerald.com. es in the federal lawsuit to represent Combs and the county. The county’s insurance carrier is expected to pick up the tab for the legal costs.

“The county and the State’s Attorney’s Office have malpractice and liability insurance,” McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally said. “We believe all attorney bills and any other costs will be covered by insurance.”

Terry Ekl, who will serve as the lead attorney, successfully defended former McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi in two corruption trials. In both trials – first in 2010 and again in 2011 – Bianchi was acquitted before presenting a defense.

Kenneally, who helped prosecute Casciaro, has said the wrongful prosecution lawsuit is “entirely without merit.”

The village of Johnsburg and its police chief, Keith Von Allmen, who also

are named in the suit, hired their own lawyers last week.

Johnsburg officials have declined to comment on the lawsuit.

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

In the lawsuit, Casciaro claims police deliberately withheld evidence related to another suspect that could have helped Casciaro. He claims that Von Allmen diverted the investigation because he was friends with the father of another suspect. He also claims that Combs directed the police efforts to implicate him out of “sheer dislike of [Casciaro].”

“Mario Casciaro was maliciously pursued and harassed by law enforcement for years, then wrongfully accused and charged with murder in connection with the disappearance of Brian Carrick almost a decade after Brian went missing,” the lawsuit claims.

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

6 LAKE IN THE HILLS

Police sergeant on leave of absence after fatal crash

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills Police Sgt. Mark Mogan again is on a paid leave of absence after a oneyear suspension of his driver’s license.

Mogan, who also is a Hebron trustee, had his license revoked for one year in February after a refusal hearing where Walworth County Judge Phil Koss said that Mogan’s refusal to submit to a blood test after a fatal Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, crash was not proper.

Mogan, who was arrested in December for driving intoxicated and striking 29-year-old Samantha Norris, who later died, was cleared of charges in the incident in March.

Prosecutors said Mogan’s blood-alcohol level was “well below” the legal limit at the time of the crash; however,

his license revocation still stands.

Mogan was placed on administrative leave after the crash. He returned to work on “administrative desk duty” Jan. 19 afMark Mogan ter the police department was informed of his blood test results, Lake in the Hills Officer Amanda Schmitt has said.

After prosecutors in Wisconsin said they wouldn’t charge Mogan, he returned to his regular assignment with the Lake in the Hills Police Department.

The 23-year veteran of the department later requested a leave of absence using his accrued benefit time, Schmitt said.

Schmitt declined to provide information about when Mogan took his leave or how long he will be gone.

Mogan’s driver’s license was set to expire in April, and he renewed it Feb. 15 – the same day as the refusal hearing, Illinois Secretary of State spokesman Dave Druker Samantha said.

Norris Mogan’s license suspension in Illinois didn’t start until Wisconsin officials had notified the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office about the revocation, Druker said, so it was not yet in effect when Mogan renewed his license.

The suspension will last until April 8, 2018, Druker said, and at that time, Mogan will be eligible to get back his license.

Mogan unsuccessfully ran for Hebron village president in the April 4 consolidated election.

jreiland@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Three men have filed a federal lawsuit claiming they were unlawfully detained as suspects in the murder of Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz when investigators knew or should have known Gliniewicz committed suicide.

Damien Ward, Raymond Willoughby and Dan Cooper said they were arrested and/or detained based on a “fictitious” description Gliniewicz provided Sept. 1, 2015, to dispatchers when he stated he was in pursuit of three individuals – only describing them as two “male whites” and one “male black,” according to the lawsuit filed Thursday by attorney Gregory Kulis.

The lawsuit seeks class-action status to represent scores of other people who were caught up in the investigation that followed.

“The precise number of citizens detained in conjunction with the fictitious murder of Lt. Gliniewicz is presently unknown, but upon information and belief, may number in the hundreds,” Kulis wrote in the lawsuit.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man arrested during a traffic stop after officers found 17 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of his car has received an $80,000 settlement from the city of Woodstock’s insurance company six months after his felony drug charges were dismissed.

Philip M. Williams filed a federal lawsuit against the city and two Woodstock police officers in November, claiming former officer Eric Schmidtke, who resigned from his position Nov. 17, wrote a false police report and falsely testified about the events of Williams’ arrest.

The parties settled the lawsuit in February, said Williams’ attorney, Louis Meyer.

The Northwest Herald sent a FOIA request Friday morning to the city of Woodstock for a copy of the settlement agreement, but city officials said they would not be able to respond to it until next week.

Schmidtke pulled over Williams on Aug. 28 for having an expired license plate sticker. The officer said that while he was speaking with Williams, he “detected a hint of cannabis emitting from inside the motor vehicle” and called for a K-9 unit, according to police reports.

What he said in police reports contradicted a police department dashcam video, which showed Schmidtke telling K-9 Officer Sharon Freund, who also was named in the lawsuit, that he didn’t actually smell marijuana when he was conducting the traffic stop.

Freund arrived with her police dog, Blue, several minutes later, and the K-9 detected the presence of drugs in Williams’ vehicle. Police then discovered a duffel bag containing 17 pounds of marijuana in the trunk, according to court documents.

Williams was indicted on serious felony drug charges and cited for driving without valid registration and driving without proof of insurance, but all charges were dismissed Oct. 20 without explanation by the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Part of the terms of the settlement included that the city would not “oppose or object” when Williams files the paperwork to get his arrest record expunged, Meyer said.

The lawsuit said Williams never gave Schmidtke permission to search his car, but the officer told him he was unable to leave, even though there was no probable cause or legal justification to keep him detained.

• LAWSUIT

Continued from page A6 Kulis said that before the task force’s announcement in November, the investigation continued without any public information as to the suspects’ location, motivation, age, physical features or anything else that could distinguish them from the estimated 70.1 percent of Lake County residents fitting Gliniewicz’s description.

“The investigation continued for coming days and further, during which time as many as hundreds of persons were repeatedly stopped, questioned, arrested or otherwise detained and deprived of their liberty as purported suspects in the nationally publicized murder of a police lieutenant (which again, did not actually occur),” Kulis said in the lawsuit.

Kulis said that even though Fox Lake police officers “noted irregularities inconsistent with both that of a murder victim and what they professed to have understood of Gliniewicz’s character,” they investigated the case as a homicide for months.

“In spite of such knowledge, the Fox Lake Police Department continued to perpetuate the narrative that Gliniewicz’s death was a homicide, and continued to participate extensively in, and detain innocent citizens pursuant to, an investigation that they knew or

The lawsuit notes that former Fox Lake Police Chief Michael Behan knew the new village administrator had requested documents related to the Explorer program that Gliniewicz had been embezzling from. Gliniewicz sent Behan a text message 24 hours before the suicide that acknowledged he was concerned about the investigation.

But Behan “did not share with investigators the aforementioned text message from Gliniewicz sent the morning

before his suicide, which would have indicated a clear motive for suicide,” the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said a wayward culture within the village and police department also were to blame for what happened.

“Gliniewicz’s suicide, set against the backdrop of an internal investigation and possible indictment, and the Fox Lake Police Department’s response thereto, did not occur in isolation,” according to the lawsuit. “To the contrary, the events giving rise to the instant action were the byproduct of rampant offi-

cial misconduct rising to the level of a de facto policy of condoning such misconduct amongst Fox Lake police officers.

“The cumulative effect of all of this was that Fox Lake’s failure to adequately monitor, discipline and supervise its officers resulted in a bizarre and tragic turn of events that resulted in as many as hundreds of citizens being deprived of their constitutional rights without probable cause,” the lawsuit said.

The men claimed they each were confronted by police and taken into custody in handcuffs “for no apparent reason” for several hours before they were released. Ward claims officers tried to enter his home without a search warrant, and he was asked to submit to a gunshot residue test, Kulis said. Cooper said he was not released for 10 hours after he was taken into custody.

The lawsuit seeks damages from a number of named and unnamed defendants. Among the defendants are the village of Fox Lake, Behan, the village of Round Lake, the village of Round Lake Beach and the city of McHenry.

Other defendants include unnamed police officers, sheriff’s deputies, members of the Illinois State Police and the FBI.

Noa Grace Welborn holds her own Build-A-Bears on March 15 at her home in Belleville.

At Noa’s request, her father set up a GoFundMe page so she could make Build-A-Bears for other children.

Belleville girl donating Build-A-Bear Workshop bears to comfort kids

By MARY COOLEY

Belleville News-Democrat BELLEVILLE – The Belleville Police Department has 33 teddy bears to give to scared children because a little girl was inspired by a book found at a yard sale.

“Especially kids that have lost something special or someone special, they need a bear,” said Noa Grace Welborn, 7, of Belleville.

So she pestered her parents into helping. Her dad, Travis, set up a GoFundMe page so she could make Build-A-Bears for other children.

“She wanted to do it for a billion; we set it at a thousand” dollars, said Travis, who set up the page called

“Bears because I care” on Jan. 27. It raised $550, mostly in donations from friends and family, by early March.

Her mom, Kate Welborn, said she has “about a million” books from a series called “Value Tales” by Ann Donegan Johnson, and the one that inspired the bear drive was the story of Elizabeth Fry, who worked to reform women’s prisons in the early 1800s.

On March 15, the founder of BuildA-Bear, Maxine Clark, matched the donations with $550 of her own. Clark thanks Noa Grace on the page “for all the hugs you have created.”

After reaching the initial goal, the Welborns increased the goal to

United Methodist Church in Woodstock held a memorial service. The church has been helping the city’s homeless community for years.

The Rev. Kurt Gamlin said he provides services because he wants to dignify the people who have died and allow their friends and family a chance to say goodbye.

“What we do here allows for community,” he said. “They shared a lot of stuff, good and bad. They plow through life in the hardest situations. … It’s hard to be poor, and out of that comes a bond. … I am just trying to celebrate their life and give them dignity that is due all human beings.”

This isn’t the first death that officials with the McHenry County Housing Authority have seen. Other clients have died recently because of overdoses or natural causes.

“People don’t realize that people that are homeless are at a greater risk than people who are stably housed,” said Sue Rose, community service director with the housing authority.

“We had a client who complained of back pain and chalked it up to sleeping on rocky ground. ... It turned out she had lung cancer that had spread to her bones. ... She was dead in a few

months.”

Another difficulty for those who work with the community is a lack of closure, said Erica Zarnstorff, a hairstylist at the assistance center. She said she had grown close to Anderson during her time volunteering at the Old Firehouse center.

“I did his hair every two weeks,” she said. “It’s different with what I do because I get so personal. I care about them all and see everyone so often. I have a lot more to do with them than most of the volunteers because we talk biweekly.”

She said that she hadn’t been able to make it to Anderson’s memorial service because she had to work, which had been difficult for her.

“It’s hard to lose them,” she said.

“It’s the closure that isn’t there when you lose them, because there isn’t as much of a gathering system.”

Veteran threatened with deportation seeks pardon

• SETTLEMENT

Continued from page A7 Williams also argued his constitutional rights were violated. Meyer has said his client felt profiled and has been pulled over more than once in the McHenry County area.

The settlement will be paid by the city’s insurer. Meyer said the agreement states that the city and the two police officers do not admit

any wrongdoing.

Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb has said Freund has remained on “active duty status with full police powers” throughout the entirety of Williams’ investigation and court proceedings, and “there is absolutely no information or indicia of evidence” to suggest she did anything improperly during the arrest.

Illinois State Police investigated the arrest, but charges were never filed against Schmidtke.

CHICAGO – The Illinois Prisoner Review Board is being asked to intervene on behalf of an Army veteran with a green card who faces deportation because of a 2008 drug conviction.

Advocates for Miguel Perez Jr. want the board to recommend that Gov. Bruce Rauner issue a pardon.

They hope the Department of Homeland Security then will grant the 38-year-old Perez citizenship retroactive to when he joined the military in 2001.

Perez served two tours in Afghanistan. He’s being held in a Wisconsin detention center, where he awaits deportation to Mexico.

“I’m pretty much asking for forgiveness and hope they get the right message to Gov. Rauner,” Perez said.

Perez handed a laptop case containing 4.4 pounds of cocaine to an undercover officer on Nov. 26, 2008.

He pleaded guilty to the drug charge

and served half of a 15-year prison sentence.

Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Peter Goutos told the review board Thursday that his office opposes clemency for Perez.

“We cannot lose track of the specific facts of this case, which is why we are opposing executive clemency,” Goutos said. “We must hold the big drug dealers accountable.”

Chris Bergin, Perez’s attorney, told the board that Perez accepts responsibility for the crime.

He said Perez is getting psychological help and medication in custody.

“He’s somewhat back to the old Miguel, and he understands how terrible it was, that decision, that drugs can be used to destroy a lot of lives,” Bergin said.

In closed-door sessions, members of the review board were expected to decide what they’ll recommend to the governor. The board’s guidance remains confidential unless Rauner discloses it.

By DON BABWIN and SARA BURNETT CHICAGO – United Airlines and the city of Chicago may find themselves the target of lawsuits by the man who was dragged off a United plane in Chicago last week after refusing to give up his seat.

One of Dr. David Dao’s lawyers, Thomas Demetrio, said as much Thursday during a news conference in which he suggested that Dao could be “a poster child” for the mistreatment of passengers by the airline industry.

“It took something like this to get a conversation going,” Demetrio said.

Dao was forcibly removed Sunday from a fully booked United Express flight out of O’Hare International Airport to make room for crew members.

Demetrio said the 69-year-old Kentucky physician and father of five lost two teeth and suffered a concussion and broken nose during the incident. He also indicated that Dao will be suing the airline and the city of Chicago, which employs the airport police who dragged Dao down the aisle, his face bloody.

Demetrio said the video showed an extraordinary instance of something that happens too routinely: Airlines overbooking flights then bumping paying customers.

It also exposed a corporate culture in which airlines – and United in particular – have long “bullied” passengers, he said. The situation could have been avoided if the airline, which offered $800 travel vouchers and a hotel stay for passengers to rebook on another flight, had simply upped their offer, Demetrio said.

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

Dao, who didn’t attend the news conference, was released from a local hospital late Wednesday and will need re-

move 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.

The union for the airline’s pilots issued a statement Thursday seeking to distance them from the incident, pointing out that it happened on a United Express carrier that is “separately owned and operated by Republic Airline” and that United pilots weren’t flying the jet.

but it has been about 10 years. He remembers that past children were “very grateful” for the stuffed animals. He remembers one child, younger than 10 years old, who was “scared and cold and grabbed the bear. Kind of swallowed up under the blanket.”

It’s kids such as that who Noa Grace wants to comfort.

“They’re going to think they’re really blessed,” she said of the children who will get the bears. “And they’ll be upset they didn’t get them sooner.”

“I put a wish on the hearts,” the second-grader said, and she kissed each red heart before it was placed into the bear with just the right amount of stuffing. She named each bear as well, adding their names to the birth certificates the bears have in their boxes.

Matilda, Lucy, Riley, Carson, Henry, Leonardo and Patrick are among the

names she picked.

“She’s keeping the list, so she never repeats a name,” Kate Welborn said.

The 33 bears that went to Belleville police are blonde and brown, “because they costed (sic) less money, the people said,” Noa Grace said.

Her own bears, Sassy and Serina, are purple and blonde.

“So many cuddlies!” Noa Grace happily exclaimed.

The Welborn family does have another bear at home, ready to go to Texas.

“I’m going to give it to my cousin.

Her brother just died,” she said. “I named it after Levi.”

Her mom said Levi “was a little fighter” and died at 2 years old.

Kate Welborn said Noa Grace came up with the idea about a year ago, all on her own.

“Of course, she’s brought up at

church, and at school they’re always talking about things” to do for others, she said, but the family had not previously done such charitable acts.

Travis said they tried to persuade Noa Grace to go to Wal-Mart for the bears, in order to get more. “She wasn’t having it,” he said.

“She knows what kids like,” Kate said.

Noa Grace said she hadn’t told many of her friends at school, St. Teresa Catholic School in Belleville, but “nobody in my school really believes me.”

“Don’t worry about what people say you can’t do,” Travis said.

Noa Grace has a sister, Ari, 5, and a brother, Ryder, 2. She said her sister wants to donate dolls to the fire department but is too shy to say so herself.

“So you’re a positive influence on your sister,” Kate said, “in one way.”

Continued from page A10 $10,000. They’ll be contacting other area police departments for the next batch of bears.

That first $550 allowed Noa Grace to head to the Build-A-Bear Workshop store in Fairview Heights and start stuffing. Those bears now are at the Belleville Police Department, said Master Sgt. Chris Mattingly, and they are spread between investigations and the main desk.

The bears arrived with Noa Grace on March 9; none have found new homes yet.

“She was quite the impressive young lady,” Mattingly said of Noa Grace.

He said the police have given out stuffed animals to children before,

Thomas Demetrio, an attorney for Dr. David Dao, speaks at a news conference Thursday in Chicago. Dao, a passenger dragged from a United Express flight Sunday, suffered a “significant” concussion and broken nose, and he lost two front teeth, Demetrio said Thursday.

constructive surgery, Demetrio said. He said his client was in a “secure location” because he has been hounded by media, but that he would speak at a future date.

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

Early on, United CEO Oscar Munoz added to what already was a public relations nightmare for the company 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 no longer will use police to re-

It also said United pilots are “infuriated” by what happened and blamed the incident on the “grossly inappropriate” actions of the security officers.

The three officers who removed Dao have been suspended from their jobs at the Chicago Aviation Department.

Pepper said her father and mother had been traveling from California to Louisville, Kentucky, and had caught a connecting flight at O’Hare.

United had selected Dao and three other passengers at random for removal from the plane after unsuccessfully offering the vouchers and a hotel stay to customers willing to give up their seats. The three other passengers left the plane, but Dao would not. The attorney was unable to say precisely how Dao was injured. Dao doesn’t remember exactly what occurred because of the concussion he suffered, Demetrio said.

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. After what happened, Dao “has no interest in ever seeing an airplane” and will probably be driven to Kentucky, he said.

At a City Council committee hearing Thursday, aldermen ripped officials from United and the aviation department about the episode.

“There are no excuses,” Alderman Michael Zalewski said.

John Slater, a United vice president, said bumping passengers to accommodate airline employees happens infrequently, and that federal guidelines requiring rest for crew members made it necessary to get the employees on the Sunday flight to Louisville.

Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans told the committee that the officers had the authority to board the flight.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Take care of pending problems before you add to your to-do list. It’s up to you to make positive changes and live life your way.

joint ventures unless you have all the necessary information.

Rauner vows to veto measure on abortion Gov. opposes allowing state to cover procedure

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner pledged Friday to veto a Democratic-backed measure that would allow the state to cover abortions for its employees and Medicaid recipients.

The governor’s office released a statement saying the Republican opposes legislation that would remove prohibitions on state employee health insurance and Medicaid funds from covering abortions.

The proposal would also safeguard abortion access in Illinois by striking language in current law that expresses the state’s intent to criminalize the procedure if the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized it is ever overturned.

“Gov. Rauner is committed to protecting women’s reproductive rights under current Illinois law,” said Eleni Demertzis, a Rauner spokeswoman.

“However, recognizing the sharp divisions of opinion of taxpayer funding of abortion, he does not support HB40.”

Chicago man in dismissed case freed after 2 decades

CHICAGO – A man whose conviction in a double murder case was based on suspect evidence has been released from custody after more than 20 years.

Roberto Almodovar walked out of a Chicago jail Friday afternoon. His attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said he’s now with his family at the Chicago residence where he grew up and where he was arrested in 1994.

Almodovar was released hours after a Cook County judge dismissed the charges against him and his co-defendant, William Negron, who remains imprisoned on another murder conviction.

State’s Attorney Kim Foxx agreed to drop the case against Almodovar earlier this week.

The two were convicted with evidence

Warrant out for man accused of burning down business

HILLSBORO – Authorities in central Illinois have issued an arrest warrant for a businessman they allege burned down his auto and tire shop last year.

The State Journal-Register in Springfield reported that the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department has issued an arrest warrant on arson charges for 38-year-old Ryan E. Payne of Hillsboro.

Payne is the owner of Payne’s Tire and Auto in Schram City.

Montgomery County Undersheriff Rick Robbins alleges Payne burned down the business and duped the public into thinking it was an accident.

Payne owned the auto and tire business with his wife, Christina. Robbins said she has not been charged. However, he added the investigation is continuing.

“The art of discrimination is alive and well in the governor’s office,” she said, calling the move an attempt to placate his party’s “far-right.”

Feigenholtz said her measure is needed because Republican President Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to women’s reproductive rights.

Trump has said he would nominate U.S. Supreme Court justices who oppose abortion rights, and on Thursday he signed legislation allowing states to deny federal money for family planning services to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.

The legislation cleared a House committee in February and awaits a floor vote when lawmakers return from a two-week break. Rauner’s message could wield a fatal blow to the bill in a chamber where it likely lacks the votes needed for a veto override. Feigenholtz said no Republican representatives are supporting her measure.

During Rauner’s 2014 run for governor, he insisted he had no social agenda. Since taking office, he has angered some social conservatives by signing legislation they oppose, including bills expanding access to birth control and requiring physicians who refuse to perform abortions to inform patients

Robbins said after the fire in May, Payne used insurance money to rebuild on the same site. The business and a restaurant that opened in December have since closed.

Aurora man sentenced to 14 years in cocaine case

ST. CHARLES – An Illinois judge has given an Aurora man on the lam for more than a decade a 14-year prison term in a cocaine trafficking case.

The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office said in a statement the judge sentenced 37-year-old Pedro Giles in a case that dated back to 2002.

He and several others were arrested that year for selling cocaine in a sting.

But they fled after posting bond.

Giles could serve less than half of the 14-year sentence with credit for time served since his capture in 2014 and if he gets additional credit for good behavior.

Jurors convicted Giles in January of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

where they can go instead.

Several conservative groups, such as Illinois Right to Life and the Archdiocese of Chicago, have called on Rauner to veto the bill.

Republican state Rep. David McSweeney of Barrington Hills recently urged the governor in an interview with a conservative blog to speak out against what he called “radical” legislation that he claimed would increase taxpayer spending to expand abortion access.

Democrats are already highlighting the debate as a campaign issue. Billionaire and 2018 gubernatorial contender J.B. Pritzker released a statement Friday chastising Rauner for misleading voters by calling himself “pro-choice” yet adopting Trump’s “extreme agenda.”

Eighteen other states have laws on their books that could be used to criminalize abortion if the landmark ruling is overturned, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.

Illinois is not the only state re-examining abortion access under Trump.

Oregon is considering a proposal that would require most health care plans to cover abortions. Fifteen other states already help fund abortion coverage.

Chicago libraries expand tech program for city youth

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is expanding a youth technology program to more library locations.

Officials including Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Public Library Commissioner Brian Bannon announced earlier this month that the YOUmedia program will get boost of more than $1 million over three years.

City officials said the privately raised money is coming from corporate donors.

Currently, the program operates digital labs for youth in one dozen libraries. The city now will add five more locations by 2018.

Emanuel says in a statement that the program is about empowering teens by exposing them to technology.

YOUmedia lets young people work with mentors and learn in a teens-only space.

The labs, where students have access to 3D printers, have programs and workshops that focus on areas including science, photography and fashion.

Trump’s N. Korea strategy: ‘pressure,’ ‘engagement’

By MATTHEW PENNINGTON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration has settled on its North Korea strategy after a two-month review: “Maximum pressure and engagement.”

U.S. officials said Friday the president’s advisers weighed a range of ideas for how to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear program, including military options and trying to overthrow the isolated communist dictatorship’s leadership. At the other end of the spectrum, they looked at the notion of accepting North Korea as a nuclear state.

In the end, however, they settled on a policy that appears to represent continuity.

The administration’s emphasis, the officials said, will be on increasing pressure on Pyongyang with the help of China, North Korea’s dominant trade partner. The officials weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the results of the policy review and requested anonymity.

The new strategy will be deployed at a time of escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. U.S., South Korean and other officials are closely monitoring the North amid indications it could conduct another missile test or nuclear explosion to coincide with an important national anniversary this weekend.

Pyongyang has undertaken five nuclear tests since 2006.

An influential Washington think tank estimated Friday that North Korea could already have up to 30 bombs.

The Institute for Science and International Security cited a worrying increase in North Korea’s nuclear program, but said the arsenal may only have been as large as 13 atomic weapons at the end of 2016. Its research suggested a range between 10 and 16 such weapons two years earlier. The institute’s estimates are

based on what it believes the North has produced in plutonium and weapons-grade uranium. The margins represent uncertainty as to whether North Korea has one or two uranium enrichment facilities.

The North has owned up to one such facility, at its Nyongbyon nuclear complex, but the U.S. government assumes it has more.

“The bottom line is that North Korea has an improving nuclear weapons arsenal,” said David Albright, the institute’s president.

He said the North may have a handful of plutonium-based warheads it can mount on medium-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching South Korea and Japan. But it’s doubtful the North is currently able to build reliable, survivable warheads for an intercontinental ballistic missile that can strike the U.S. mainland, he said.

As for the Trump administration’s policy, the U.S. officials emphasized that no engagement of North Korea is currently taking place.

Although China advocates for diplomatic outreach, the focus for now is on pressure.

The officials said the goal of engagement would have to be North Korea’s denuclearization. It cannot lead to an arms control agreement or reduction of the North’s atomic arsenal that would imply American acceptance of North Korea as a nuclear power.

The officials are hopeful China and Russia would agree to tighter U.N. sanctions on North Korea if it conducts another nuclear test. They pointed to a recent editorial in a state-run Chinese newspaper advocating tighter restrictions on selling oil to North Korea.

Beijing’s decision earlier this year to cut off coal imports from North Korea also are being seen as a hopeful sign. Coal sales are an important source of revenue for Kim Jong Un’s government, and the U.S. has said China has turned back some shipments in recent days.

Afghanistan: U.S. bomb killed 36 militants

By AMIR SHAH

The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – The biggest non-nuclear bomb ever dropped in combat by the U.S. military killed 36 militants in eastern Afghanistan, officials said Friday, and villagers in the remote, mountainous area described being terrified by the “earsplitting blast.”

The strike using the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB, was carried out Thursday morning against an Islamic State group tunnel complex carved in the mountains that Afghan forces have tried to assault repeatedly in recent weeks in fierce fighting in Nangarhar province, Afghan officials said.

U.S. and Afghan forces have been battling the Taliban insurgency for more than 15 years. But the U.S. military brought out the biggest conventional bomb in its arsenal for the first time to hit the Islamic State, which has a far smaller but growing presence in Afghanistan. That apparently reflects President Donald Trump’s vow for a more aggressive campaign against the group.

The bomb – known officially as a GBU-43B but nicknamed the “mother of all bombs” – unleashes 11 tons of explosives. Pentagon video showed the bomb striking a mountainside overlooking a river valley with a giant blast that overwhelms the landscape and sent up a massive column of black smoke. Agricultural terraces are visible in the footage, but no population centers.

Afghan commandos are positioned Friday at the Pandola village near the site of a U.S. bombing in the Achin district of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan.

The Afghan Defense Ministry said in a statement that the bomb destroyed several IS caves and ammunition caches.

Gen. Daulat Waziri, a ministry spokesman, said 36 IS fighters were killed, and that the death toll could likely rise. He said Afghan forces were at the tunnel complex assessing the damage.

The Islamic State group’s Aamaq news agency denied that any of its fighters were killed or wounded, citing a source within the group.

Waziri said the bombing was neces-

sary because the complex was extremely hard to penetrate, with some tunnels as deep as about 130 feet. He called it a “strong position,” with troops attacking it four times without advancing, adding that the complex “was full of mines.”

“This was the right weapon for the right target,” said U.S. Gen. John W. Nicholson, NATO commander in Afghanistan, at a news conference. He added that there were no reports of civilian casualties.

Nicholson said the bomb was intended to eliminate the militants’ sanctuary in southern Nangarhar, “and this weap-

on was very effective in that use.”

The office of President Ashraf Ghani said there was “close coordination” between the U.S. military and the Afghan government over the operation, and they were careful to prevent any civilian casualties.

But the massive blast still terrified villagers 20 miles away across the border in Pakistan.

Pakistani villagers living near the frontier said the explosion was so loud they thought a bomb had been dropped in their village by U.S. warplanes targeting militants in Pakistan.

“I was sleeping when we heard a loud explosion. It was an earsplitting blast,” said Shah Wali, 46, who lives in the village of Goor Gari, 9 miles from the border with Nangarhar. “I jumped from my bed and came out of my home to see what has gone wrong in our village.”

Dozens of other villagers also came out of their homes, Wali said. He later went near the border, where he met with other residents. He said he could see smoke in the sky.

“The whole house was shaking,” said Mufti Khan of Achin district in Nangarhar. “When I came out of my house, I saw a large fire and the whole area was burning.”

Another Achin resident, Mohammad Hakim, approved of the strike.

“We are very happy, and these kinds of bombs should be used in future as well, so Daesh is rooted out from here,” he said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

The Associated Press BEIRUT – Thousands of Syrians were bused out of their towns on Friday in the first stage of a widely criticized population transfer that reflects the relentless segregation of Syrian society along political and sectarian lines.

The coordinated evacuations delivered war-weary fighters and residents from two years of siege and hunger, but moved the country closer to a division of its national population by loyalty and sect.

As diplomacy in Moscow focused on the U.S. airstrikes targeting Syria, more than 2,350 people were bused out of the twin rebel-held towns of Madaya and Zabadani near Damascus, and another 5,000 from the pro-government towns of Foua and Kfraya in the country’s north.

“There was no heating, no food, nothing to sustain our lives. We left so

that God willing [the siege] may ease on those who remain,” said Ahmad Afandar, a 19-year-old evacuee from Madaya whose parents stayed behind.

Madaya and Zabadani, once summer resorts to Damascus, have been shattered under the cruelty of government siege. The two towns rebelled against Damascus’ authority in 2011 when demonstrations swept through the country demanding the end of President Bashar Assad’s rule.

Residents were reduced to hunting rodents and eating the leaves off trees.

Photos of children gaunt with hunger shocked the world and gave new urgency to U.N. relief operations in Syria.

Foua and Kfraya, besieged by the rebels, lived under a steady hail of rockets and mortars. They were supplied with food and medical supplies through military airdrops.

In a video posted on Facebook from one of the buses departing Madaya, a man identified as Hossam said: “We

were forced to leave. We left our land, our parents, our memories, our childhood – everything.”

Critics have said the string of evacuations, which could see some 30,000 people moved across battle lines over the next 60 days, amounts to forced displacement along political and sectarian lines. The United Nations is not supervising the evacuations.

The predominantly Shiite towns of Foua and Kfraya have remained loyal to the Syrian government while surrounding Idlib province has come under hard-line Sunni rebel rule. Their populations will now find security under the government’s outwardly secular authority.

Madaya and Zabadani, on the other hand, are believed to now be wholly inhabited by Sunnis, the consequence of six years of deft political maneuvering by Assad to steer what started as a broad movement against his authority into a choice between him and Sunni

Islamist rule.

Playing on fears of al-Qaida rule, Assad’s government showed leniency to the country’s Christian, Shiite and Alawite minorities while bringing the weight of its military against majority Sunni areas – especially Sunni pockets in demographically mixed areas, such as along the Lebanese border, where Madaya and Zabadani lie, and along the Mediterranean coast.

“They of course wanted to beat the Sunni rebels into submission,” said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma. “This has had the effect of driving them out.”

Since 2011, 5 million Syrians have been made refugees and another 7 million have been displaced within the country’s borders.

“The amount of population rearrangement has been tremendous in Syria,” Landis said. The latest evacuations are “a drop in the bucket.”

Voters forgive Trump’s turnaround on key issues Christian Ziegler

Marketing professional who voted for Trump Breitbart News, the website once run

by White House adviser Steve Bannon, called the president’s Syrian airstrikes an immoral “misadventure” that “violates every promise he ran on and could sink his presidency.”

However, nearly three months into Trump’s presidency, many supporters say they never really expected him to hew to all his campaign positions anyway. Trump, a former Democrat, was never one to attract the labels of policy wonk or ideologue.

“I don’t think any president really knows what they’re doing the first few months in office,” said Jeff Baumgardner, 59, an airline captain from Shindle, Pennsylvania. “What they say on a campaign is always different than what they do.”

Sure, Trump needs to deliver on some of his promises, Baumgardner said, “but some of them are just election banter.”

Husband and wife Larry and Eleanor Sacilowski, from Langhorne, Pennsylvania, don’t see Trump’s policy shifts as a problem.

“It makes him human,” said Eleanor, 70, a receptionist.

“You never stop learning,” added Larry, 74, an auto parts deliveryman.

For Ziegler, 33, a Republican state committeeman in Florida, Trump’s shifts are a sign he’s getting “different information” now that he’s president. As long as Trump holds firm on Ziegler’s top priorities – opposing abortion and refusing to grant amnesty to immigrants living in the country illegally – Ziegler said he’s OK with other policy changes.

“Let’s remember Donald Trump’s a dealmaker, and when you’re negotiating in business you don’t always get 100 percent of what you want,” Ziegler said.

Naranjo, a Cuban-born Trump voter, thinks the president’s performance has been lackluster but there’s still time for him to turn things around.

“We’re expecting too much too fast,” said Naranjo, 70.

To a number of Trump voters, as long as the president delivers on his repeal-and-replace pledge for the health care law – far from a sure thing – other issues are secondary.

WASHINGTON – What’s wrong with being flexible? All presidents change their minds. He’s only human.

President Donald Trump’s voters can be a forgiving lot – up to a point.

“He thinks too fast and then makes decisions too fast,” said Miriam Naranjo in Miami Lakes, Florida.

“He’s changing his mind on almost everything he said,” said Bob Brown of South Windsor, Connecticut.

Naranjo is willing to give Trump more time. Brown is not.

The president’s recent shifts in position on big foreign policy issues have got his supporters pondering: Are the reversals worth a mere shrug of the shoulders, or are they a cause for greater concern.

Where critics see a flip-flopper, many Trump voters see the kind of recalibrating that’s to be expected from any new president, even more so for the first in history to land in the Oval Office without any government or military experience.

“It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on and making sure he doesn’t stray too far from where he campaigned,” said Christian Ziegler, a marketing professional from Sarasota, Florida, who served as one of Trump’s electors in the state. “I’m not concerned yet.”

In recent weeks, the president has gone from labeling NATO “obsolete” to “no longer obsolete.” He’s ordered a cruise missile bombardment in Syria after saying during the campaign that the U.S. should steer clear of the place.

He’s decided the Export-Import Bank, which he once opposed, is a good thing after all. And he’s done a U-turn on his pledge to label China a currency manipulator. Many of those issues were prominent applause lines at candidate Trump’s campaign rallies.

Now, as he shifts positions, Trump says he’s being flexible – and proud of it.

For plenty of Trump voters, that’s fine, particularly when a situation suddenly arises like the chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed more than 80 people and prompted Trump to order airstrikes.

“Once someone releases nerve gas on children, you have to do something,” said Susan Holly of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

“Nobody can stand around and be black and white,” she said. “Everybody makes changes.”

Some prominent conservatives haven’t hesitated to criticize Trump’s recent actions.

OUR VIEW

Sage expansion good for area Thumbs-up: To the expansion of Sage Products in Cary. We applaud Sage’s decision to expand and add jobs here. The first phase of the expansion will add about 50 jobs, while the second phase – which would add an additional 610,000 square feet of warehouse, manufacturing, office and parking space by 2021 – is expected to add about 300 jobs, village officials have said. Michigan-based Stryker Corp. bought Sage Products, one of the county’s largest employers, in February 2016 for about $2.78 billion. Sage Products has earned a reputation for its philanthropy and for taking care of its employees. We hope to see the company continue to grow and be successful in McHenry County.

Thumbs-down: To United Airlines and the Chicago Police Department for their handling of a passenger on an overbooked flight who’d paid for his ticket and was forcibly removed to accommodate United employees who the company wanted on that flight. No one deserves that kind of treatment, and in the modern era where nearly everyone is equipped with video capabilities on their phones, the court of public opinion will be as harsh as it is quick. Police officers should not have been pawns in resolving a poor business decision that United should have been left with to resolve on its own.

Thumbs-up: To McHenry County College celebrating 50 years of providing educational opportunities for area residents. The college was established April 1, 1967, and has events planned throughout the year to celebrate. “As a current student who’s going to be here next year, I hope MCC will be an institution that not only continues to advocate for the success of the college from a financial aspect but also advocates for student and faculty success,” MCC student Amber Steiger said. Hundreds of people, including students, alumni, former and current teachers, faculty and community members, attended the Golden Homecoming on Tuesday. The event gave attendees shared information from the college’s history as well as its future plans.

Thumbs-down: To whoever damaged the new sign at the Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231, which was ripped from the ground last week. Legion representatives said they believe a driver struck the sign sometime between April 3 and 4. The Legion is out about $3,000 because of the damage. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Lake in the Hills police.

Keep close eye on Flint relief funds A lot of money is now flowing into Flint to replace the city’s lead-leaching water lines. The dollars should also come with a fierce watchdog.

The Michigan Senate last week approved the awarding of $100 million in federal funds to the troubled city to replace its pipes. In addition, the settlement of a lawsuit against the state will deliver another $87 million.

That money should be enough to identify and replace the estimated 18,000 water lines serving Flint homes and businesses by the target date of 2020, but only if it is properly and productively spent.

With the recent controversy over how contracts are being awarded and some concerns with Mayor Karen Weaver’s administration, as well as the city’s legacy of corruption, steps should be taken to ensure the money gets to where it is intended to go.

In approving the federal outlay, the Senate attached a few strings. Flint will have to give regular reports to the state on the progress and costs of replac-

ing the pipes.

That’s a good start, but each dollar should be tracked. Given the state’s involvement with the Flint water crisis, and the general distrust in Flint regarding any state action, a neutral party would be best.

The auditor general could be a decent option, if that office has the proper manpower. And Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich of Flint should also be consulted, given his close involvement with his hometown.

Last year, he proposed the creation of a Flint authority to oversee the city’s recovery. The state could revisit that idea.

Already, Flint officials are battling over how the bids for the first $35 million of replacement work were awarded.

Objections by some council members that one firm – the low bidder – was awarded all of the work forced the reopening of the bid process.

The city is already under federal investigation for how $25.5 million in blight funds are being used. The Treasury Department

has not said what triggered the audit, but per-unit demolition costs have soared.

Last fall, Flint was caught up in the scandal involving Rizzo Environmental Services, which allegedly bribed a number of Macomb County officials.

Former Mayor Woodrow Stanley was working for Rizzo at the time Flint was considering awarding the company a garbage hauling contract. Weaver said publicly she didn’t know about Stanley’s involvement when she recommended going with Rizzo, but emails obtained by the Flint Journal suggest otherwise.

Weaver was also hit by a federal whistleblower lawsuit last year filed by a former city administrator who charges she was fired for objecting to a request by the mayor to divert into her campaign account charitable donations intended to provide relief for city residents.

Safe is always better than sorry. Flint has a poor track record, both for the short and long term, of managing its affairs.

Man-made climate change is real

To the Editor: The Climate Solutions Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives has just increased its membership to 34 members. By its rules, the caucus must maintain an equal number of Republicans and Democrats.

The growth of this caucus shows that an increasing number of representatives are recognizing that manmade climate change is real, the data is irrefutable, and time is running out to do something about it.

The recent proposal by a senior Republican statesmen – The Climate Leadership Council, that the U.S. impose a revenue neutral carbon fee at the source of carbon introduction into the system – shows that some of the more conservative elements of our society are recognizing the problem.

It is no accident that Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida was instrumental in initiating the caucus, and four of the 34 members are from Florida.

The evidence of damage from the melting of ice at both poles is most extreme in coastal areas. But we of the inland states also are being affected. Migration habits of birds are changing, plants are emerging early and severe weather is becoming more prevalent as evidenced by recent

VIEWS Mike Skala ment, which Congress passed in 2010, has had harmful consequences for communities like ours, as it has affected consumers, small businesses and community financial institutions.

The law allowed the federal government to intervene in the functioning, competitive free market by setting price controls on debit interchange fees, which merchants pay to accept and authorize debit card transactions. Before this, interchange fees were based on competitive market forces and allowed for discounts to those businesses selling small-ticket items (such as a cup of coffee or a candy bar), but under the new system, card networks were forced to eliminate those concessions.

This is bad news for many small businesses – such as the small restau-

unseasonal tornadoes.

There currently are two representatives from Illinois on the Climate Solutions Committee, Daniel Lupinsky and Rodney Davis. I applaud their participation and encourage other representatives from Illinois to join the effort to save our environment. As President Barack Obama put it in a 2014 tweet, “We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last who can do something about it.”

Keep air clean

To the Editor: The White House is going to repeal the Clean Air Act in the hopes of increased jobs in the coal industry.

Unfortunately, the only job increase will be in the manufacture of face/ dust masks, when the country will be smog-laden like it was in the 1970s, and how Beijing looks now.

Karen Z. Knutson McHenry

Election turnout disappointing To the Editor: As of this morning, the results are showing that just 15 percent of registered voters took part in the

rant I own, which typically processes card transactions for $10 to $15 – which line our downtown streets and contribute to our local economies.

With flat fees in place, smaller merchants may face fees that are disproportionate to the cost of the good.

In fact, one study found that among merchants who saw a fee change, nearly one in four faced a price hike – 11 times as many as those who saw a decrease. Many of those affected by higher fees are responsible for small-ticket items, which can threaten the profitability of the sale.

Unfortunately, the effect on momand-pop shops doesn’t end there.

Our local community banks and credit unions are feeling the effects of this failed policy, which then affects their customers, ranging from an entrepreneur looking for a business loan to an established business owner opening a checking account to a family trying to secure a mortgage. In total, financial institutions have seen a decrease of billions of dollars in

their interchange revenue each year because of the price controls and the recurring administrative costs that come from the amendment’s routing provision. This loss has forced many institutions to reduce free checking and debit card rewards for customers.

Even still, by raising checking fees, banks only offset one-third of their losses.

We cannot afford policies that ultimately hurt our small businesses, yet that is exactly what has happened with the failed Durbin amendment.

Price controls rarely work as intended, and the past five years have been a harsh reminder of just that.

Congress must work together to do away with this policy in 2017. I encourage Rep. Randy Hultgren to support repealing the Durbin amendment, as it would help all of us here in McHenry County and beyond.

Illinois holds a special place in my heart. Many of my biggest milestones occurred within our pocket of the state: not only have I been a lifelong resident of McHenry County, but I earned my bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University and have chosen to raise my family here.

Because of that, it remains of the utmost importance to me that McHenry County – and the rest of the state – can grow and continue to be a great place to call home.

Through my work as a County Board member for McHenry County, I work hard to ensure our citizens enjoy a good quality of life and can stay and grow here as I’ve done. However, as a small business owner – I own manufacturing companies Innovative Component Sales Inc. and ICS Flange – and as a community bank customer and stockholder, I’m especially in tune with the problems affecting other entrepreneurs and those who help our community grow.

Delta to offer nearly $10K to give up seats

By DAVID KOENIG and DAMIAN TROISE The Associated Press

Delta is letting employees offer customers nearly $10,000 in compensation to give up seats on overbooked flights, hoping to avoid an uproar like the one that erupted at United after a passenger was dragged off a jet.

In an internal memo obtained Friday by The Associated Press, Delta Air Lines said gate agents can offer up to $2,000, up from a previous maximum of $800, and supervisors can offer up to $9,950, up from $1,350.

United is reviewing its own policies, including incentives for customers, and will announce any actions

by April 30, a spokeswoman said. The airline would not disclose its current compensation limit.

Other airlines did not immediately comment on whether they would raise their ceiling.

When there aren’t enough seats, airlines usually ask for volunteers by offering travel vouchers, gift cards or cash.

Last year, Delta got more passengers to give up their seats than any other U.S. airline, partly by paying more than most of the others.

As a result, it had the lowest rate among the largest U.S. airlines of bumping people off flights against their will – something that is legal but alienates customers and requires the airline to pay compensation of up to $1,350 a person.

Overselling flights is a fact of life

AP file photo

A Delta Air Lines jet sits at a gate Oct. 13 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta. Delta is giving airport employees permission to offer passengers up to almost $10,000 in compensation to give up their seats on overbooked flights. Delta’s move comes as United Airlines struggles to recover from images of a passenger’s forced removal from a sold-out flight. in the airline business.

Industry officials said that it is necessary because some passengers don’t show up, and that overbooking keeps fares down by reducing the number of empty seats.

The practice has been questioned, however, since a 69-year-old man was violently dragged off a sold-out United Express flight last Sunday.

He and three others were ordered off the plane after four airline employees showed up and demanded seats so they could be in place to operate a flight the next day in Louisville, Kentucky.

It has turned into a public relations nightmare for the entire industry, not just United, and led to calls from politicians and consumer advo-

cates to suspend or ban overbooking.

Ben Schlappig, a travel blogger who first wrote about the Delta compensation increase, said it shows Delta is trying to reduce forced bumping.

He said he couldn’t imagine many situations in which people wouldn’t jump at nearly $10,000.

Delta no doubt hopes that gate agents and their supervisors won’t need to make maximum offers, and the financial cost to the airline is likely to be limited.

If Delta paid $9,950 to every person it bumped involuntarily last year, that would total $12 million. Delta earned nearly $4.4 billion.

Raising the limits “lets them solve some PR problems” and might head off U.S. Transportation Department regulations to curb overbooking, said another travel blogger, Gary Leff.

“They can say, ‘Look, we’re already solving the problem.’ ” An Associated Press analysis of government data shows that in 2015 and 2016, Delta paid an average of $1,118 in compensation for every passenger who it denied a seat.

Southwest Airlines paid $758, United $565and American Airlines $554.

After the incident in Chicago, critics questioned why United didn’t offer more when no passengers accepted the airline’s $800 offer for volunteers to give up their seats.

“If you offer enough money, even the guy going to a funeral will sell his seat,” said Ross Aimer, a retired United pilot.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 2017

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Grammy-winning guitarist and singer Glen Campbell is releasing his final studio album, recorded shortly after his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis in 2011.

The record label, Universal Music Enterprises, announced Friday that the album, “Adios,” will be released June 9.

Campbell hasn’t performed since 2012 and is in a long-term care facility, but his wife, Kim Campbell, said in a statement that he felt a sense of urgency after his diagnosis to record one last time. Campbell’s hits include “Gentle on My Mind,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” and his signature song, “Rhinestone Cowboy.”

Paul Simon’s home in danger of slip sliding away

Julian Lennon poses April 12 for a portrait in New York to promote his children’s book, “Touch the Earth.”

Julian Lennon honors his mom, the environment in kids’ book NEW YORK – Julian Lennon is looking to nurture a new generation’s commitment to the environment, with a little help from a white feather.

The firstborn son of the late John Lennon has co-authored “Touch the Earth,” a picture book for kids as young as 3 about the world’s water problems, from polluted oceans to the need for clean drinking water in the developing world.

Out later this month, the book from Sky Pony Press has a group of kids loaded into a plane called the White Feather Flier as they span the globe and learn about the need for filtration, irrigation and ocean life protection.

With illustrations created both by hand and computer, it’s the first of three children’s books he plans, in line with the environmental and humanitarian work of his White Feather Foundation.

“We’ve failed miserably in looking after our environment. I think this is a great way to approach children into realizing what’s at stake, and to help educate and help them make decisions about the right things to do for the future,” Lennon said. “It’s for those with inquiring minds who are asking, ‘Why?’ ” Lennon has taken on environmental issues in song, including his 1991 “Saltwater,” and in film, including the 2006 documentary “Whaledreamers,” covering a gathering of indigenous and tribal leaders that explores connections among whales, dolphins and humanity.

Appealing to the next generation of prospective eco-warriors grew out of his friendship with co-writer Bart Davis after the two put aside plans – for now – for the 54-year-old Lennon to write a biography. But he hasn’t completely abandoned the idea.

MONTAUK, N.Y. – Paul Simon’s cottage on eastern Long Island is in danger of slip sliding away.

Newsday reported the singer-songwriter’s home in Montauk, New York, is being moved back 80 feet from the edge of a bluff. It’s part of an effort to save the home from erosion.

A geologist consulting on the project, Wendi Goldsmith, said work began in February to temporarily move the one-story cottage a safe distance from the drop-off.

A 50-foot buffer of native vegetation will be planted as part of the effort.

Simon’s summer home is about 20 feet from the bluff’s edge, facing the Atlantic Ocean.

He could not be reached for comment.

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck file divorce petitions LOS ANGELES – Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck filed divorce petitions Thursday, the first step in formally ending their marriage more than a year after they publicly declared their relationship was over.

The actors both filed divorce petitions in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking joint custody of their three children, who range from 5 to 11.

The filings were made without attorneys and are virtually identical. Neither lists a date of separation.

The couple announced they were separating in June 2015 after 10 years of marriage.

“We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children,” Garner and Affleck said in a joint statement at the time.

“This will be our only comment on this private, family matter.”

The actors met while making 2003’s “Daredevil,” in which they both played superheroes.

Rian Johnson debuts teaser trailer for ‘The Last Jedi’

NEW YORK – Is the Force still strong with Luke Skywalker?

The first trailer for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” dropped Friday, showcasing a morose and withdrawn Skywalker. The two-minute teaser, unveiled by director Rian Johnson at the “Star Wars Celebration” fan event in Orlando, Florida, offered few clues to the film. But it notably includes Mark Hamill’s iconic hero gravely intoning, “It’s time for the Jedi to end,” from a dark cave.

The trailer whetted the appetites of ravenous “Star Wars” fans who turned out in droves in Orlando and online, where the event was streamed live. Actor Josh Gad, a Disney star from another universe (“Frozen,” “Beauty and the Beast”), hosted a panel including Johnson, producer Kathleen Kennedy and cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and a new addition, Kelly Marie Tran.

Easter egg alternatives

Instead of dyeing, how about some decoupage?

W

By HOLLY RAMER • The Associated Press

This April 6 photo taken in Hopkinton, N.H., shows a variety of decoupage Easter eggs.

hen it comes to Easter eggs, dipping them in dye is fine, but for a more decorative and longer-lasting result, try decoupage.

I tried three DIY techniques for adding colors and patterns to eggs using decoupage glue – Mod Podge is a popular brand. One technique paired vintage book pages with plastic eggs, another used printed napkins with real eggs and the third involved fabric and Styrofoam.

All three methods were fairly messy given the glue, but at least I didn’t end up with fingers dyed blue from food coloring. And unlike hard-boiled dyed Easter eggs, these will last for years to come.

Here’s what I found, with each method rated from 1 to 10, with 10 indicating the least expensive, easiest and best results: Book pages – plastic eggs (below)

This tutorial comes from a blog called “SewforSoul” and was published in “Reloved” magazine. While it was the most time-consuming technique I tried, it yielded the most impressive results.

To make these eggs, small strips of plain paper are glued to plastic eggs to serve as a base layer. Once that layer has dried, the egg is buffed by rubbing it with the back of a spoon to smooth out any rough edges. The eggs then are covered with small strips of paper torn from an old book, overlapping the strips at random. More drying and buffing, and then additional designs cut from paper napkins are glued to the eggs. A wash of watered-down craft paint gives the eggs a distressed, antique look.

The original version of this method featured black-and-white images, but I used napkins with colored illustrations of Peter Rabbit to brighten them up. I loved the pastel, shabby chic result.

Cost: 7 Ease: 5 Results: 9

Fabric – styrofoam eggs (below)

Napkins – real eggs (above)

Craft maven Martha Stewart’s website features multiple techniques for decoupage eggs, including one that involves real eggs and decorative paper napkins. To try this method, pierce holes into either end of the egg and blow out the contents. Cut around designs from a paper napkin – I chose a floral pattern – and separate the layers to work with just one layer of tissue. Apply decoupage glue to the egg and adhere the designs, and then cover the entire egg with a coat of glue.

This technique was inexpensive, especially if you scramble up the egg’s contents for breakfast, and produced very pretty, elegant results. Real eggs are fragile, however – I cracked one open trying to enlarge one of the holes – so this method wouldn’t be the best to do with young children.

Cost: 8 Ease: 7 Results: 8

I found this technique on Crafts ’n Coffee, a blog created by the company that makes Styrofoam brand foam craft products.

The foam eggs I bought were significantly more expensive than either the plastic or real eggs used in the other projects, and while I had scrap fabric on hand, purchasing the fabric would have made this even more pricey.

For this project, fabric is cut into 1-inch wide strips and then trimmed into triangle shapes. The eggs are covered with glue in sections, and the fabric is stuck on in a random, overlapping manner. A final coat of

decoupage glue seals the edges.

I found this method fairly fussy – bits of fabric kept peeling off as I manipulated the eggs – and I had trouble smoothing them down. The finished result was a bit too bumpy and rustic-looking for my taste. On the plus side, using Styrofoam means the eggs can can be pierced and strung on baker’s twine to make a garland.

Because both the eggs and the fabric are fairly sturdy compared to the paper used in the other methods, or the real eggs, this would be an easier method for children to try.

When to plant

By LEE REICH

The Associated Press Move over, tempeh, tofu, miso, soy sauce, soy milk and other processed soy foods. Make way for edamame.

This is the soybean in its most primitive state – picked young and green, steamed or boiled for five minutes, then popped out of the pod right into your mouth.

With high-quality protein, phytoestrogens, and a good dose of calcium and vitamin A, soybeans always have garnered high praise as a nutritional powerhouse. Generally though, the taste of dry (mature) soybeans – either nondescript in processed foods or left more to itself – leaves something to be desired. Boiled soybeans have a flavor and waxy texture that many people find unpleasant. And tofu is most esteemed for its ability to pick up other flavors.

Edamame, on the other hand, are delectable in their own right, combining the best of garden peas and lima beans in both flavor and texture.

Great flavor, easy to grow

summer nights better than lima beans, which might languish until midsummer, or all season, depending on the region.

Like green beans and other legumes, edamame roots partner with naturally occurring symbiotic bacteria that enrich the soil with nitrogen from the air.

However, like these other plants, edamame are a tasty dessert to rabbits and deer.

Mexican bean beetles, on the other hand, have little interest in soybeans.

Harvest on time

Picked prematurely, the pods yield scrawny me, are easy to grow and combine the flavors and textures of beans of bland flavor; picked too late and the pods are too far on their way to becoming dry, mature fresh lima beans and peas.

soybeans.

Harvest edamame pods when the beans within are fully plump, and before the bright green pods begin to yellow. I pick ripe pods over the course of a couple of weeks or so, but some gardeners wait until the bulk of the pods are ready for harvest, then pull the plants and strip off the pods in the comfort of a shaded chair.

If plants yield more than you can eat, freeze excess for later use. The 5-minute steaming or boiling that readies pods for fresh eating also readies them, once cooled, for the freezer.

• Saturday, April 15, 2017

Planting edamame yourself is the most straightforward way to get this vegetable, long popular in Asia, on your plate.

Although they taste like peas and limas and grow much like green beans, edamame are as easy, or even easier, to grow than these familiar vegetables. Edamame tolerate summer heat better than garden peas, which languish in most regions by early or midsummer. And they withstand cool

Don’t get all enthused about edamame and go out and plant them tomorrow. That may be too early, depending on where you garden. Edamame need warm soil to get started, so should not be planted until about the date of the last killing frost, which is about the same time as you would plant corn or green beans. (Contact your county Cooperative Extension office for that date if you don’t know it.)

Do get your seeds now, though. A number of varieties are available, differing slightly in flavor and in how long it takes before the beans are ready for harvest. My favorite variety is Shirofumi, but I also like Envy and Butterbean.

When it’s time to plant, sow the seeds an inch deep in rows 15 to 30 inches apart.

Options to treat Osteoarthritis pain Dear Doctor: I’m 55 years old and a former marathon runner. Now my right hip hurts all the time, not only when I walk but also when I’m lying down. I can’t even sleep on my right side any more. I was told I need a hip replacement. What does that entail?

Dear Reader: You’ve described several of the signs and symptoms that make discussing the option of a hip replacement with your doctor a good idea. The goal of the procedure is to address chronic hip pain, increase mobility, return patients to normal activities and restore quality of life. But before you go booking an O.R., let’s talk about the operation, as well as possible alternatives.

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the diseased or damaged portions of the hip joint with an artificial joint, known as the prosthesis.

An estimated 332,000 individuals undergo hip replacement surgery in the United States each year. The surgery is most common among people with osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that causes joint cartilage to wear away over time.

The hip joint becomes rough and ragged, and the ensuing friction causes both pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis, injury and fractures can also cause sufficient damage to merit a full replacement of the hip joint.

After documenting your symptoms, your doctor will order imaging tests, beginning with an X-ray, to get a detailed image of your hip joint. He or she will be looking for changes to the bone, signs of narrowing of the joint space and the formation of bone spurs. In some cases, an MRI or a CT scan may be ordered as well.

Before focusing on hip replacement as a solution, we help our patients explore other options for dealing with the pain and lack of mobility. These include physical therapy,

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier walking aids, cortisone shots or medications, and pain and/or anti-inflammatory medications. Some people try supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin for pain relief. These and any other nutritional or herbal supplements always should be reported to your physician to guard against possible drug interactions.

Hip replacement surgery takes about one to two hours to perform. An orthopedic surgeon removes the diseased and damaged bone and cartilage and an artificial hip is implanted in its place. A prosthetic socket is implanted into the pelvic bone, and a prosthetic ball replaces the rounded top of the femur. Patients often are surprised when they’re asked to sit up and even take a few steps with a walker the day after surgery, which is to deal with the increased risk of blood clots.

After the surgery, patients must work with a physical therapist to rehabilitate the hip. They are given stretching, flexing and strengthening exercises, which they must continue to do on their own to assure the best recovery and results. They also must watch for potential complications like blood clots, infection, dislocation and a discrepancy in leg length.

Full recovery after hip replacement surgery takes three to six months. For the best chance of success, be scrupulous about rehab, and don’t try to do too much.

Keep all the entrances securely locked, especially the front door. While you’re at it, if you haven’t already done so, tell her to stay out of your belongings because you don’t want any more items to “disappear.”

Because your MIL won’t listen to you, have your husband tell his mother not to drop in without calling first. If she does it anyway, when she shows up, rather than “ask” her not to do it, tell her and don’t let her in.

Dear Abby: I am one of your male readers.

I took in a teenager on his 17th birthday because he wanted to leave an abusive, neglectful situation from his mother and her husband. I have known him since he was 4.

During the time he has been here, we have bonded, and his appearance and attitude have improved. With his permission, I recently legally adopted him.

Our problem is people are making comments that this is a sexual thing, which is absolutely not true. How can I quash these statements? He is very grateful to have a loving dad now, but is afraid of backlashes. –

Abby, her entire focus is on us. She walks right into our home, although she has been asked several times not to. She goes through my things and takes whatever she wants without asking. I can never relax unless my husband isn’t home and I have locked the doors so she can’t barge in. When he is here, she comes over, walks in, and if we have company, thinks she should join our guests.

I recently retired, and I get anxious because I want it peaceful, but with her invading our privacy, it’s anything but. I have grown children I adore, but I don’t want them walking in either, and they never would. It took me years to have a home life with my husband because he was a longtime bachelor, and for years his buddies would drop by unannounced. Now it’s his mother.

Crystal Lake Estate Sale

FRI 9-4 & SAT 9-2 This week, we have had five sixheart contracts. Today’s deal might have been played in that contract, but at the 16 tables on bridgebase. com, the contract was four hearts 15 times and four spades once.

How should South play in six or seven hearts after West leads the club king?

The given auction was uniformly popular with the robots (computer-controlled opponents). I believe a human would have been more circumspect over two hearts. Agreed, it seems as though four hearts will be the right spot, but that prime 15-count has slam potential if South’s heart suit is robust. North might rebid three clubs. Here, South would continue with three spades. Then North could envision South’s holding queen-third of spades and ace-kingqueen-sixth of hearts, which would give a good play for seven hearts. If hearts are 3-2, you can handle a 4-1 spade break, but the converse is not necessarily true in seven spades.

In seven hearts, South should win the first trick with the club ace and immediately take a heart finesse.

Here, when it succeeds, declarer plays a spade to dummy’s king, repeats the finesse, draws trumps and cruises home.

One might well adopt the same line in six hearts, but there is a case for cashing the heart ace and king.

If the queen drops, great. If not, you hope the defender with the heart queen has three spades so that the club losers can disappear on the diamond ace and fourth spade. But here the 4-1 heart break kills that line.

What to watch NHL: Nashville at Blackhawks, 7 p.m., NBC The Hawks will try to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to the Predators on Thursday in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series. Story, page 10

ROSEMONT – Huntley softball coach Mark Petryniec had a hard time picking out a top hitter after Friday’s 11-6 win over Crystal Lake South.

It was with good reason, too, because seven Red Raiders scored and seven drove in runs in the Fox Valley Conference victory at Rosemont Stadium, home of the Chicago Bandits.

Starting pitcher Tiffany Giese pitched well enough to keep her team on top after falling behind, 1-0, early.

“We needed every bit of [those runs] today to be successful,” Petryniec said.

“This was a game we knew we were going to have to outhit them to be successful, and Tif did enough on the mound to keep us ahead.”

Giese threw all seven innings, allowing eight hits and six runs, five earned.

She struck out five and walked four. She had only one bad inning. In the fifth, South scored four runs, three of them on a bases-loaded triple by catcher Carly Chovanec.

Huntley (6-4, 2-0 FVC) scored four runs in the third, aided by a run-scoring double from shortstop Autumn Kasal.

South coach Scott Busam was disappointed in his team’s mental approach in the field.

“We scored enough runs to win a game, but we could not stop them during those big innings,” Busam said.

The Raiders put together another big inning in the fifth, scoring three times.

They also scored two in the sixth and two in the seventh. Eight of Huntley’s nine hitters in the lineup recorded a hit.

The only one not to was Giese in the leadoff spot, but she walked three times and scored a run.

“Our team really came together and strung together hits,” Giese said.

Catcher Sofia Tenuta went 2 for 4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Kasal finished 2 for 5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Freshman Teagan O’Rilley went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and one RBI. “I just had to wait for the right pitch,” O’Rilley said. “[South starting pitcher Christina Toniolo] was pitching well.

She was throwing inside, outside.”

Toniolo threw 42/3 innings in the loss.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Huntley’s Tiffany Giese pitches Friday against Crystal Lake South at Rosemont Stadium.

Huntley won, 11-6.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Teagan O’Rilley Huntley, fr., DP

O’Rilley reached base four times – two singles and two walks – hitting out of the No. 6 spot in the lineup. She drove in a run on a single in the third and scored two runs herself.

q THE NUMBER

8

All but one of the nine hitters in Huntley’s lineup recorded a hit.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

After allowing four runs in the fifth, Huntley pitcher Tiffany Giese came back and struck out the next two hitters to start the sixth.

She allowed seven runs, all earned, and struck out two. Huntley recorded eight hits off her.

Like her counterpart, Toniolo hit in the leadoff spot for her team and went 2 for 3 with a double and two runs scored.

Chovanec went 2 for 2 with four RBIs and two runs scored. Emily Sulikowski hit a triple, a double and drove in a run.

Busam felt the Gators (7-4, 1-2 FVC) had a good approach at the plate. The big innings defensively were simply too costly.

“We didn’t do any of the little things that needed to get done to put an end to one of their big innings,” Busam said.

“We let everything compound. Huntley is a solid team, and if you’re going to give them lots of extra at-bats, then they’re going to score 11 runs.”

The turf field at Rosemont Stadium was a different experience for both teams, but it didn’t affect either team’s play much.

“We haven’t been outside all that much, and then all of a sudden you throw this (turf) into there,” Petryniec said.

“Defensively, we did a nice job making it routine out there.”

SOFTBALL: MARENGO 7, STERLING 1

gerous 1-2.

“Riley pitched really, really well again,” Indians coach Dwain Nance said. “It’s one of those things that you’ve got to have two good pitchers.

When you go back and look at the success that we’ve had at Marengo, that’s what we’ve had. It’s nice to be able to put one in for the other if the other is struggling a little bit. I have confidence in both.”

Dionne nearly hit a home run off Staples in last year’s sectional final and revisited that at-bat before Friday’s game.

“I kind of thought about last year when we faced them in sectionals,” Dionne said. “I just remembered what she threw and how she threw me. I went up there with the same approach.”

Aubry’s three-run home run in the first came on a 3-2 count after she fouled off three pitches, giving the Indians a five-run cushion.

“I was just looking for a pitch to drive,” Aubry said. “She kind of threw outside, and I don’t like outside, so I tried to battle those off. Then she came inside, and I had faith in my swing and went for it.”

Anna Walsweer went 2 for 2 with a double for Marengo, and Susie Nawrot went 2 for 3 with a stolen base.

MARENGO – Marengo’s Riley Connell hopes to resume hitting sometime next week. For now, the junior pitcher is enjoying life in the circle.

Connell – who hasn’t logged any atbats this year because of a bad back – continued her early-season Riley Connell dominance in a 7-1 nonconference win against Sterling on Friday, holding the Warriors to two hits in a rematch of last year’s Class 3A Genoa-Kingston Sectional final, a 2-1 victory for Sterling.

Before Friday, the Indians (12-2) had not beaten Sterling (6-7) since 2012, losing five straight times. Three of those losses came in sectional finals.

“It’s pretty great,” Connell said.

“They were a really tough team to beat last year. ... Having the defense we did today was great. We really produced a lot of hits in the first that helped a lot.”

Connell improved to 8-0 in the circle, allowing a run on two hits over seven innings with three walks and three strikeouts. She retired the side in order

struggling with changeups, and they continue to throw more changeups.”

Connell has a 1.29 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 49 innings. Last year, she was a key part of Marengo’s offense and hit in the middle of a potent lineup.

“I’ve really been able to focus on my spins and my spots, so that’s really helped a lot,” Connell said. “But I’m really hoping to get back to hitting soon.”

The Indians jumped on Sterling starter Lexy Staples in the first inning with a pair of home runs. Mariah Dionne took Staples deep to right field for a two-run homer, and Lauren Aubry roped a three-run shot to left with two outs to give Marengo a quick 5-0 lead.

Staples started last year’s sectional final, giving up a run on a hit over four innings. On Friday, she didn’t last past the first. Maddie Corwell pitched the next three innings and struck out five, and Jayme Eilers (New Mexico) tossed the final two, giving up a two-run home run to Megan Anthony (3 for 3) in the fifth.

Dionne, who has five homers, four doubles and 15 RBIs, has been the Indians’ No. 1 pitcher since her freshman year and is 4-2 with a 1.96 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 391/3 innings. The emergence of Connell gives Marengo a dan-

CLS grad Clark aims for nationals ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino When it comes to the hammer throw, 2 pounds have made all the difference for Kianna Clark this season.

The sophomore at NCAA Division II Lewis University in Romeoville trains with an implement that is 2 pounds heavier than the regulation 8.82-pound hammer.

On meet days, the difference is noticeable.

“That’s one of the Kianna Clark main things that’s contributed to my success this year,” said Clark, a Crystal Lake South graduate.

“When it comes to meet time, it feels like nothing to me. I can go ahead and just launch it.”

Clark’s biggest launch this season came in last weekend’s Benedictine University Duals in Lisle.

Her throw of 173 feet, 3 inches beat the Lewis school record by almost 8 feet and put her 25th in the nation.

“I went crazy,” she said of the throw.

“I had no idea I was that close (to the record).”

Clark credited Lewis throws coach A.J. Smith for a heavy focus on weight training and technique this year after a crash course in the hammer last season.

“It took me months (last year), and I thought, ‘I’m not going to get this event,’” she said. “Through repetition and practice and A.J.’s coaching and all the weightlifting, it finally clicked for me.”

Clark’s record throw was almost 32 feet better than her top effort as a freshman.

“My goal is to make nationals this year,” she said. “I was definitely ready to go. It’s muscle memory now. I know what I’m doing. I took lifting way more serious this year. That helped a lot.”

Clark also plays on the Lewis soccer team, so she is adept at footwork drills, which have aided her training in track and field.

Lewis sophomore Kianna Clark, shown throwing the discus, recently set a school record in the hammer throw and is looking to improve enough to compete at nationals next month in Bradenton, Fla. “The footwork’s not that hard for me, but I have a problem with getting pulled through the ring because I tend not to sit,” she said.

The heavier training hammer forces Clark to stay low during her throws.

“It’s helped me to be completely engaged on what I need to do,” she said.

“It helps me focus on staying down and getting the hammer up.”

Clark’s goal to compete at nationals next month in Bradenton, Florida, will take extending her school record by several more feet. For now, she is a provisional qualifier for nationals, which accepts the top 20 throwers.

Clark would like to avoid watching results at season’s end, hoping she makes the field.

“I definitely plan to hit (180-5 to 183-8),” she said. “That will for sure get me to nationals. I’m right there.

“You don’t want to be waiting, refreshing the (web) page every couple of minutes,” she joked.

Miami sprinter Moore shines: In the final home meet of the outdoor season for the University of Miami track and field teams, Huntley grad Anthonia Moore was the Hurricanes’ top finisher in the 400-meter run, placing ninth in 56.71 seconds.

Moore was one of 15 seniors honored before last weekend’s meet, the Hurricane Alumni Invitational in Coral Gables, Florida.

Last month, she was part of the Miami 4x400 relay team that placed second in 3:45.11 at the Hurricane Invitational.

Wilson is Vikings’ best: Sophomore infielder Carly Wilson (Johnsburg) is leading all starters this season with a .390 batting average for D-III Augustana College’s softball team.

She also has a team-high .593 slugging percentage, four triples and 23 hits for the Vikings (7-15). She is batting .500 with three multihit games over the past five contests.

Victorious Demon Hedge: Crystal Lake

South grad Kyle Hedge was one of eight DePaul track and field athletes to win individual events at last weekend’s Benedictine University Duals in Lisle.

Hedge, a sophomore, won the shot put with a toss of 52-43/4. Fellow DePaul sophomore Isaac Jimenez of Huntley was the fifth-place finisher in the event at 47-81/2.

Double duty for Kasper at N.C. State: Jacobs grad Kassie Kasper is playing her first season of softball at North Carolina State.

Kasper is a reserve junior outfielder for the Wolfpack (14-25).

She also is a defensive specialist/ libero for the N.C. State volleyball team.

Last fall, she played in eight matches for the Wolfpack (20-12).

8 WHITE SOX 2, TWINS 1

Davidson’s tiebreaking HR backs Covey

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

WHITE SOX 2, TWINS 1

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – Tim Anderson won’t take Jackie Robinson Day lightly Saturday. The White Sox’s 24-year-old shortstop, like everyone else in baseball, will wear Robinson’s No. 42 to honor the man who broke the color barrier 70 years ago.

Anderson has a special appreciation for Tim Anderson the pressure and prejudice Robinson endured when he broke into baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 “to pave the way and knock down the door for guys like us,’’ Anderson said Friday. “[Saturday] is a special day for me,’’ Anderson said before the Sox’s 2-1 victory against the Twins at Target Field.

“As an African-American, it’s a blessing to go out and play for such an amazing man like him. It’s a very special day in the game as baseball pays its respects to him.’’

Anderson, leading off a second consecutive night after he ignited the Sox’s 10-4 victory over the Indians on Thursday by launching Josh Tomlin’s first pitch for a home run, was 0 for 3 with a walk and a pair of nice plays in the field.

He flew out twice to center and ground-

Third baseman Matt Davidson broke a 1-1 tie by hitting his third homer, an opposite-field shot against Ryan Pressly to lead off the seventh.

By that time, Sox right-hander Dylan Covey was finished with a strong 90-pitch effort in his major league debut, allowing one run despite giving up five hits and three walks in 51/3 innings.

Anderson, who made his debut less

than a year ago, already has a $25 million contract to his name because the Sox project him as a centerpiece of their rebuild. Anderson, who still was at Triple-A Charlotte on Jackie Robinson Day last season, has deep respect for what Robinson did to pave the way.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Sox’s All-Garcia outfield makes baseball history

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

Willy Garcia

Leury Garcia

Avisail Garcia

MINNEAPOLIS – The White Sox on April 14, 2017, will be an answer to a baseball trivia question.

With Willy Garcia in left field, Leury Garcia in center and Avisail Garcia in right, the Sox featured three players with the same name starting in the same outfield for the first time in baseball history when they played the Twins on Friday night at Target Field. A rain delay made everyone wait for a moment that seemed more coincidental and trivial than historic.

But still.

“Everybody talked about it,” said Sox manager Rick Renteria, who gets the credit for penciling in the names. “It’s pretty cool. Kind of coincidence, but it’s neat.”

According to Elias, there have been three games in major league

history in which one team had three outfielders with the same last name at the same time, but they were brothers Felipe, Jesus and Matty Alou, who appeared in three games with the San Francisco Giants in September 1963: On the 15th Rick Renteria at Pittsburgh, the 17th at Milwaukee and the 22nd against the Mets.

The brothers did not all start in those games but were in the outfield at the same time late in all three.

The Garcias are not related, but “we know each other,” Willy said. “We are Latinos. ... It’s going to be something special.”

Enough to be “a little buzz about that,’’ Renteria said.

The Sox called up Willy Gar-

cia, who made his major league debut, from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday to replace left fielder Melky Cabrera, whose wife delivered the couple’s fourth child Friday and is on the paternity list. Leury Garcia made his third consecutive start in center in place of rookie Jacob May, who was looking for his first hit. Renteria said Friday he wanted to give May, the Opening Day center fielder who is looking for his first major league hit, three days of work before putting him back in the lineup.

Renteria smiled broadly at the possibility of three Garcias in the outfield when the subject was broached Thursday, pounding his fist in a baseball glove and saying it could happen.

“It will be fun,” said Willy Garcia, who posed for pictures with the others on the field before the game.”

Willy Garcia has played mostly right field in the minors, although he did get some work in left this week, playing one game in left field in Charlotte.

“But I know the position,” he said through translator Billy Russo. “That was the position I used to play when I started playing baseball professionally, and I feel very confident in my skills at the position. It’s nothing different for me.’’

This and that: Todd Frazier, who missed two games in Cleveland with illness, was back in the lineup at designated hitter. Renteria said he hoped to see Frazier back at third base in the second game of the series Saturday afternoon.

• The Sox entered the game Friday ranked third in run differential with +11 (35-24) and a 2.50 ERA from their starting pitchers after Opening Day.

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks pitches in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 4-2. ting .216, but he leads the team with nine walks and has an OBP of .383.

Schwarber had an RBI single in Friday’s fifth inning.

Kris Bryant is at .231 with his batting average, but he sports an OBP of .375. He also has a track record.

“I love that, actually,” Maddon said of the approaches. “I love the fact that we are seeing a lot of pitches, we are working good at-bats. For the most part, we are really not chasing out of the zone. And that’s just going to benefit us long term, also.

“No, we actually look really good at the plate. Guys that normally hit that are not, heads up, they’re going to start doing it. To be in pretty good shape recordwise (6-4) in spite of having the of-

fense not clicking on all cylinders, it’s kind of a good sign.”

Starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks still is trying to find his rhythm, too.

After coming out of spring training looking sharp, he had to wait until the Cubs’ fifth game of the season, on April 8, to make his first start of the regular season. He went six innings that night at Milwaukee.

Against the Pirates, he went fiveplus, exiting the game after giving up back-to-back singles to start the sixth.

Reliever Justin Grimm was on the mound when the Pirates scored three times that inning to erase a 2-1 deficit.

Hendricks wasn’t blaming the rust factor for not having his normal sharpness.

CUBS NOTES

Veteran Duensing plays first game at Wrigley Field

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – Brian Duensing has been in the big leagues since 2009, but he had never been to Wrigley Field until Friday.

“I’ve been in pro ball a long time, but somehow I’ve missed Wrigley every time,” he said. “This is my first time at Wrigley all together, so I’m excited about that.”

The Cubs activated the 34-year-old left-hander from the 10-day disabled list Friday and placed right-handed reliever Carl Edwards Jr. on the be-

reavement list. There was a death in Edwards’ family.

Until signing with the Cubs as a free agent in December, Duensing had been a career American Leaguer, having pitched for the Minnesota Twins from 2009 to 2015 and for the Baltimore Orioles last year.

He made his Cubs regular-season debut in Friday’s 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning. Duensing had been on the 10day disabled list because of lower-back tightness. On a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa, Duensing made two appearances, pitching three scoreless

innings with no walks and five strikeouts.

“I feel good,” he said. “I feel fine.

Back’s good. Arm’s good. Everything’s so far, so good.”

Duensing got to know his new teammates in spring training.

“I get the vibe that they’re going to do it again, but not like in a cocky or braggy way,” he said. “We’re going to go out here, and we’re going to have fun. We’re going to take care of business, and we’re going to have fun doing it. That’s just kind of the vibe I got from them.”

Entering Friday, left-handed hit-

ters batted .236 against Duensing while righties hit .292 against him.

Happ-y days at Iowa: Top prospect Ian Happ entered Friday’s game for Iowa with five home runs. That led the organization. Happ, a second baseman and outfielder, was the Cubs’ first-round draft pick in 2015.

Duensing got a good look at Happ during his rehab assignment.

“He’s incredible,” Duensing said.

“He’s an incredible player. Even better, he’s a good person. He’s fun to pull for. When he puts the ball in play, it makes a little bit different sound off his bat than some other guys.”

CHICAGO – The early season skews the numbers in baseball, both high and low. Right now, the Cubs are sporting some anemic batting averages, but manager Joe Maddon is trusting in the process, and for the most part, the process is grinding away.

Cubs batters continue to work good at-bats, and if that continues, the results should follow. It was all on display Friday at Wrigley Field despite a 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Cubs, whose rallying cry last year was “We never quit,” took it down to the wire, loading the bases after two were out in the bottom of the ninth inning. But Ben Zobrist bounced into a forceout to end the game.

“We put ourselves in a position to get a chance in the last few innings to tie the game at least,” said Zobrist, who is off to a 6-for-32 (.188) start. “Right now with a lot of us, I think the rhythm isn’t quite there yet at the plate. It’s kind of early in the season. It’s chilly.

It’s kind of been tough to get it going this week for everybody a little bit. But I like how we battled late in the game.”

Zobrist’s on-base percentage is .333.

He’s not the only one with a low batting average and a good OBP. Kyle Schwarber started the ninth-inning comeback attempt with a two-out walk. He’s bat-

10 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS – FIRST ROUND: BLACKHAWKS VS. PREDATORS

No panic, but Game 1 loss doesn’t sit well Blackhawks vs. Predators

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – In the middle of Friday’s practice at the United Center, Jonathan Toews stick-handled a couple times, shimmied his way past an imaginary defender, roofed a shot over an imaginary goaltender, then celebrated the imaginary feat – pirouetting with his stick raised high above his head.

So no, a 1-0 series deficit isn’t going to rattle the Blackhawks.

“We’ve been in every spot – good spots, tough spots, awful spots,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “Losing the first game is not what we’re looking for.

Home ice is something that’s special.

But we find we’re consistent in how we play, and we feel we get better as series go on.”

The Hawks aren’t panicking and rending garments over Thursday night’s 1-0 loss to the Nashville Predators in Game 1. They did enough good things against the trapping Predators, and have surmounted enough obstacles over the past eight seasons, to know better.

But look beyond the intangibles and the history, and there are clear signs that betray a certain unease about their current situation.

The mere fact that the Hawks practiced Friday is noteworthy. It’s only the second mid-series practice Quenneville has held since the start of the 2014 postseason, spanning nine series.

Quenneville was unhappy enough with his team’s lack of net-front presence in what the Hawks dismissively regarded as an “easy” shutout for Pekka Rinne that he held an extremely rare on-ice workout focusing largely on tips and deflections.

Then there’s the knee-jerk benching, and demotion, of rookie Nick Schmaltz after one shaky period in Game 1. Schmaltz – whose arrival on the top line helped trigger the Hawks’

Hayden has been benched for Game 2. best stretch of the season in February – will start Game 2 on the third line, with Ryan Hartman alongside Toews and Richard Panik. Schmaltz admitted he was skittish with the puck in the first period, and he was part of a disastrous shift that led to the Predators’ only goal.

Schmaltz admitted he was “a little bit” disappointed to lose his spot so quickly, but said he was happy to skate

alongside Marcus Kruger and Marian Hossa, instead.

“I thought I was OK,” Schmaltz said. “I thought I could have held on to the puck a little bit more. I don’t know if I was nervous or what I was, but I just felt like I was just getting rid of the puck when I had it.”

Schmaltz was noticeably better later in the game, but the patience Quenneville afforded rookies all season? It

doesn’t exist in the playoffs.

“Q likes to change the lines,” Panik said with a shrug. “I played with [Hartman] and [Toews] during the season.

We should get used to each other on the first shifts, and from there I think we’ll be fine.”

Quenneville also showed little faith in his fourth line, a staple of the Hawks’ three recent Stanley-Cup winning teams. John Hayden played only 5:39 and will be replaced by Dennis Rasmussen in Game 2. Jordin Tootoo played only 5:29, with Patrick Kane double-shifting regularly with Tanner Kero as the Hawks chased the lead.

Taken individually, the rare practice, the immediate tinkering of lines that had been largely set for more than two months, the over-use of the top-nine forwards, even Quenneville’s admission that the Hawks – who love to carry the puck into the offensive zone with speed – will have to resort to dumping-and-chasing to get through the Predators’ 1-4 and 1-3-1 neutral-zone traps – are minor developments.

But taken together, after only one game, it’s a clear sign of just how seriously the Hawks took that Game 1 loss, and just how difficult a series they know they’re in for.

“We all got a taste of playoff hockey [Thursday] night,” Quenneville said.

“Now we’ve got to do something about it.”

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Blues head home up 2-0 on Wild; Habs, Penguins win The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Jaden Schwartz scored with 2:27 remaining during a 4-on-4 situation, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Wild, 2-1, on Friday night to leave Minnesota with a 2-0 lead in the first-round series.

Joel Edmundson had the first goal for the Blues after winning Game 1 in overtime, Jake Allen was as steady as

ever in the net again with 23 saves, and coach Mike Yeo devised another shrewd plan for his former team.

Zach Parise scored again for the Wild, on a 5-on-3 late in the second period, but goalie Devan Dubnyk simply hasn’t been as dominant as Allen at the other end. Dubnyk made 20 saves.

Game 3 is Sunday in St. Louis.

Canadiens 4, Rangers 3 (OT): At Montreal, Alexander Radulov scored at 18:34

of overtime to give Montreal a victory over New York in Game 2 of their firstround series.

Radulov jammed the puck in from the edge of the crease after a feed from Max Pacioretty to tie the best-of-seven series 1-1. The victory was the first for a Canadian team in the playoffs since 2015.

Penguins 4, Blue Jackets 1: At Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby had a goal and

two assists, Marc-Andre Fleury stayed sharp in his second straight playoff start, and Pittsburgh pulled away for a victory over Columbus in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

Jake Guentzel added a goal and an assist to help the defending Stanley Cup champions take a 2-0 lead in the best-ofseven series. Evgeni Malkin scored his first goal of the postseason, and Patric Hornqvist pushed in an empty-net goal.

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler doesn’t know when, doesn’t know where, but he knows it’s coming.

At some point, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg will give him that nod.

And then it’s on.

Not only will the three-time All-Star be set loose on guarding Boston’s biggest scoring threat in point guard Isaiah Thomas, but he’s looking forward to it.

“Especially what he’s done this year for that team,’’ Butler said after the Friday practice. “I know it’s going to come at some point and time.

“I’m going to make it tough for him.

For anybody I’m guarding. But not just me, it’s going to be a team effort. I’m going to get beat at times, and I’m going to need guys to be there. ... But I look forward to that challenge. I want that.’’

And Butler will get it.

It’s simple math really. The 5-foot-9 Thomas also just happens to be the Celtics’ best scorer with 28.9 points a game, as well as their best finisher, averaging 9.8 points in the fourth quarter. The 6-7 Butler also just happens to be the Bulls’ best defender, and not afraid to try to shut down any player on the planet.

Irresistible force vs. immovable object, starting Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

“I’m a physical player, so that’s all that I know,’’ Butler said when asked how Thomas can expect to be defended by him. “He is a quick little guy. But I’m not slow, either. So I can keep up with a lot of them. But yeah, be physical. That’s how I play defense anyway.

How many fouls do I get, six? I get six fouls, so I think I’ll be all right.’’

Butler was asked whether it’s harder to guard players smaller in stature, and pointed out he doesn’t discriminate. His goal is to shut down anyone he’s guarding, no matter the size.

“First of all, I’m 6-7 and ¾ – don’t ever forget that,’’ Butler said, correcting his listed height. “I mean, however tall [Thomas] is, he’s been that height for a long time now, so he’s mastered it … 5-8, 6-8, whatever he is, the guy knows how to put the ball in the basket. You’ve got to guard whoever, whether they’re 5-8 or 6-8.

“Or 6-7¾.’’

Hoiberg obviously wasn’t going to go into game plan details but did admit that they have discussed a certain time of the game in which Butler would move to Thomas, as well as the idea that

if Thomas gets hot early, it’s all subject to change.

“We do have a plan in place, but obviously you have to adjust if things are going in the wrong direction, but we do have a plan on how we are going to try to slow [Thomas] down a little bit, which is obviously difficult to do with the No. [3] scorer in the NBA this year,’’ Hoiberg said. “We need to understand it’s a team problem, it’s not just the guy guarding him, it’s not just an individual assignment.’’

Maybe so, but Butler sounds like a guy taking it that way, as he should.

If Butler can eliminate Thomas as a threat, well, Boston’s lack of star power will be tested in the best-of-seven series.

“Nobody is backing down from anybody on our side, and I’m sure they feel the same way on their side,’’ Butler said. “So whoever is locked in on guarding him, guarding Jae [Crowder], guarding whoever it may be, like I always say, you win your matchup, you win the game.’’
