Once upon a time in right field…

I got my first baseball mitt when I was 4. It was an Ernie Banks Model Wilson Ball Hawk.

It flopped on my little hand like a giant pancake and the ball regularly bounced out of it, but it was my very first piece of the national pastime.

I remember tossing the ball in the air and catching it. Then I discovered if I threw it onto the roof of our house, it would fall into my mitt like a lazy flyball. I could also throw the ball against our garage door and scoop up grounders.

I would narrate the action as if I was playing in Wrigley Field for the Cubs…

“There’s a high fly to center field. Eddie Miksis camps under it… and he’s got it!”

“There’s a hot grounder to Banks at short.

He snags it and throws to Dee Fondy at first for the third out.”

But none of these heroics could compare with my dream of playing real baseball in Little League. I got my chance when I turned 5 and became a member of the Dodgers.

We practiced Saturday mornings. Since I was the smallest kid on the team, they put me in right field, where no one ever hit the ball.

But I didn’t care. I just stood out there, thumping my mitt and watching the clouds float by.

After practice the coach announced that it was time to get our uniforms. When my turn came the coach told me he had a special uniform for me. He held up a pint-sized jersey… gray with red trim. On the front it read, “The Big F.” That was our sponsor, The Big F Food Faire grocery store of Fox River Grove.

I was hoping to get number 14, my favorite player Ernie Banks. I’d even settle for 23, Bubba Church. But I was shocked when the coach turned it around and I saw my number… ½!

Everyone thought it was hilarious. I grabbed it, ran home and hid it in my room.

When the day of our first game came, I put my uniform on and quietly slipped out of the house. As I walked to the ball field, I hoped that nobody would notice my number. Fat chance.

The announcer read the lineups and when he came to me he said,

LOCAL BRIEF

Canterbury Elementary holding ‘Comcast Cares Day’ event Saturday

CRYSTAL LAKE – Canterbury Elementary School in Crystal Lake is partnering with Comcast to hold an event Saturday to improve Canterbury Fields and build a garden at the school.

The event, “Comcast Cares Day,” will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 875 Canterbury Drive.

Denise Barr, coordinator of community relations for District 47, said about 170 people have volunteered to help out.

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava “Playing right field, number ½, Mike Penkava.” An explosion of laughter greeted me as I waved and tried to hide under home plate.

But once the umpire cried, “Play ball!” everything was fine. At least until I was announced as I came to bat. More laughter at the expense of number ½.

Then it happened. I was out in right field.

Paul Baker Jr., the other team’s best player, was at bat. It was two outs with two on. He stepped to the plate and on the first pitch hit the ball. Toward right field. Toward me.

Now, this wasn’t a nice lazy popup. It was a screaming liner that left a vapor trail behind it.

I ran to my right, my arm outstretched as my mitt bravely waved in the air.

I closed my eyes and suddenly felt a sharp pain in my hand. I opened my eyes and looked at my mitt. Miraculously, there was a ball sitting in it.

Then I heard it. The cheers and applause of the crowd. “A brilliant catch by Mike Penkava, number ½,” cried the announcer. More cheers as I waved and trotted to the bench.

When I was introduced for my next at-bat, instead of laughter, I heard cheers. Even when I struck out.

As I walked back to the bench, my coach said, “Hey, Mike, if you want to, we can change your number.”

“Um, Coach, that’s OK,” I replied, “I think my number’s just fine,” as I tipped my cap to my fans.

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. He doesn’t think naming a team “The Big F Dodgers” nowadays would be a good idea. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

Volunteers will spend Saturday morning working on the baseball facility and creating a school garden that will provide a clean, attractive and safe area for children. Each volunteer will also receive a free T-shirt, breakfast and lunch provided

by Comcast Cares.

Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley recently proclaimed April 22 “Comcast Cares Day” to bring employees, families, friends and community partners together for a common mission and purpose.

‘IT WAS HORRIFYING’ Victims of Woodstock Willow Brooke apartment fire pick up the pieces

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Devin Whiting thought someone was playing a prank when he heard banging on the doors at 3 a.m. March 25 at his Woodstock apartment.

He didn’t expect to look out the door to see flames.

“It was horrifying,” he said. “I heard a loud boom and the first two buildings are just completely engulfed in flames.”

Whiting and his fiancée, Alex Romero, were two of the people affected by the massive fire that broke out last month at Willow Brooke apartment complex, displacing 30 families and causing $2.3 million in damage.

The fire was caused by a possible malfunction of either an electric baseboard heater or electric circuits located in one of the apartments, according to a preliminary fire investigation report from the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District.

The night of the fire, neighbor Abimael Sanchez’s dog woke him at 3 a.m. to go outside. He didn’t see anything, or smell smoke at the time.

When he went back inside, he opened his window, which is when he could smell smoke and burning plastic, so he went out on the deck to check things out, according to the report.

Sanchez could see smoke coming from the building next door, so he called 911 and went back outside and walked over to the apartments. He saw flames, then started pushing door buzzers in hopes of waking up residents.

Residents Brian Rice and Casey Schilling woke up around 3:20 a.m. because they heard something breaking and their dog was whining.

When Rice went to the living room

‘‘

Different churches and services groups have reached out to help the fire victims.

The city of Woodstock did a fundraiser, so the victims were given a check to help them replenish some of the things they lost. ”

Sue Rose, McHenry County Housing Authority community service director

to see what was going on, he saw fire shooting out from the wall. The patio door broke, and flames began dancing against the front door. The two and their dog left through the back, according to the report.

Firefighters had the fire under control by about 4:30 a.m., but weren’t cleared to leave the scene until almost 2:30 p.m, according to the fire report.

The Red Cross and the McHenry County Housing Authority were also on scene that day.

Romero wasn’t home the night of the fire.

She woke up to texts and phone calls asking her whether she was OK, and didn’t know what they were talking about until she got to Whiting’s messages.

He had been sitting in his car watching the firefighters battle the flames all night, blocked into the parking lot by emergency vehicles.

“It was really, really scary,” she said. “I was really worried about what happened to everything, to Devin, if the pets were OK.” Whiting and Romero – along with their ferret and cat, who did make it

Devin Whiting (right) thought someone was playing a prank when he heard banging on the doors at 3 a.m. March 25 at his Woodstock apartment. He didn’t expect to look out the door to see flames. Whiting and his fiancée, Alex Romero, were two of the people affected by the massive fire that broke out last month at Willow Brooke apartment complex. Whiting and Romero met while working at the Woodstock Farm and Fleet. out safely – are currently living with Romero’s parents in Harvard. They plan to buy a house now, which had been on the back burner when they lived at Willow Brooke.

“Life has a weird way of pushing you in the right direction,” Whiting said. “It’s kind of worked out for us.”

Nonprofits such as Home of the Sparrow also assisted with vouchers for the victims, she said.

The city of Woodstock’s fundraiser garnered $8,861.74, with donations still trickling in. The city plans to cut the last check to victims next week, officials said.

Multiple GoFundMe pages were created for the victims as well, including one for Whiting and Romero.

The majority of displaced people have been rehoused in other apart-

ments owned by Cunat Inc., who run Willow Brooke Apartments, said Sue Rose, community service director with the McHenry County Housing Authority.

“There are still a couple of people who live in motel shelter,” she said.

“Some of those need handicap access, with first-floor units, and those are a bit tougher to come by.”

The housing authority will pay for the hotel stay for up to eight weeks, Rose said.

Fundraisers are ongoing, she said.

“Different churches and services groups have reached out to help the fire victims,” she said. “The city of Woodstock did a fundraiser, so the victims were given a check to help them replenish some of the things they lost.”

Village Board gives extension for downtown redevelopment “The downtown needs to be redeveloped, and we need to bring a new infusion of people into the community.”

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – The Fox River Grove Village Board is giving developer Grove Residences LLC another chance to reboot a $250 million project to develop the village’s downtown.

The developer asked the village for more time to secure funding to start phase one of the four-phase project less than a month after the village approved the redevelopment agreement for the project.

While the Village Board granted the extension at its meeting Thursday, trustees also have asked the village president and staff to look into backup options.

“We’re just doing essentially preliminary research to gain other interests in case, for whatever reason, this developer cannot make the phase one deal happen,” Village Administrator Derek Soderholm said.

Grove Residences will now have until Aug. 31 to close on the majority of the properties necessary for the first phase – a three-month extension from the deadline in the original redevelopment agreement the Village Board approved on March 16.

Three apartment buildings with up to 300 units would be built in the space, according to the redevelopment agreement.

Jordan Glazov, a partner with Northbrook-based Realtelligence LLC, which owns Grove Residences LLC, has previously said phase one is estimated to cost between $61 million and $71 million.

Trustees Thomas Anderson, Steve Knar, Andrew Migdal and Patrick Wall

Patrick Wall

Fox River Grove Village Board trustee voted in favor of the amendment to the redevelopment agreement. Jennifer Curtiss opposed. Trustee Suzanne Blohm was absent.

“It’s just been a constant struggle,” Curtiss said. “One day you think the project’s going to happen, the next day you find out it’s not going to happen.”

For the past few years the development has been on and off, and Curtiss said it ultimately hurts the property owners who live in the phase one area who don’t know if and when they’ll be moving.

Phase one includes several lots southwest of Route 14, on both sides of Algonquin Road, according to village documents. The space includes three commercial buildings and four apartment buildings.

If plans go through, phase three will include no more than 200 apartments along Route 14 and phase four will be developed with retail uses and/or a hotel and marina on Route 14 at the river, according to the agreement.

“I’m not confident that the developer is going to be able to get his financing in

90 days, so for me, maybe this is a sign that we should be running,” Curtiss said, adding she would like to see another developer improve the downtown.

Wall said he voted in favor of the amendment only because village staff was starting to look at other options.

“The downtown needs to be redeveloped, and we need to bring a new infusion of people into the community,” Wall said.

He said he was “optimistic but not confident” that Grove Residences would meet its new deadline.

The developer should have another chance because they’ve invested a lot of money in the project, Knar said, and residents want to see a developed downtown.

Developers wouldn’t have asked for the extension if there wasn’t a possibility of receiving funding, Glazov said.

“Anything can happen between now and then,” Glazov said. “We don’t anticipate a negative occurrence, but the world turns without our control, we never know.”

At Thursday’s meeting, Fox River Grove Village President Robert Nunamaker and Soderholm told trustees they had been talking to about 10 developers to see if there was interest in developing the downtown if the Grove Residences agreement falls through.

Although the village would have to craft a new redevelopment agreement if the one with Grove Residences falls through and another developer is interested, much of the groundwork, including creating the tax increment financing district, is already done, Nunamaker and Soderholm said.

Fire destroys Lakemoor family’s home

Homeowner Thomas Damiano (left) said he believes the fire may have started in the laundry room.

“I woke up from the fire alarms going off, helped tell my family to immediately get out and had to jump off of our balcony to escape,” Damiano said.

nlinhart@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – Thomas Damiano was asleep Friday when fire alarms went off and his house began filling with smoke. He woke up his family and got out of the home. “[I] had to jump off of our balcony to escape,” he said.

While no one was injured, the home was destroyed and two pet birds have not been found.

Damiano said he believes the fire may have started in the laundry room.

“We just barely got out,” he said.

Lakemoor Police Chief David Godlewski said crews were called at about 10:25 a.m. Friday to a fire in the 300 block of North Rosedale Drive, Lakemoor.

The home at 336 Rosedale Drive was engulfed in flames when crews arrived, and firefighters were still putting out some of the flames an hour after arriving at the home. Godlewski said the home as a total loss.

Brian Burkus, owner of Old Town Pizza & Catering Co., said Damiano and his sons have been longtime employees and are like a “second family” to him.

“My other employee Herman gave his shoes to [Damiano’s son] Scotty today, and I’m struggling to find a pair of prescription glasses for Scotty, because Scotty lost his glasses in

“I’m also asking the community for help for my people,” Burkus added. “They are a great, hardworking family.”

Firefighters from several departments were called to the scene to as-

sist, including McHenry Township, Antioch and Crystal Lake.

Red Cross and the McHenry County Housing Authority are working to help the family.

“We can provide them with shelter vouchers at a hotel for up to eight weeks, then I’ll help them with trying to find a new place and we purchased a new bed for everyone in the household,” said Sue Rose, community service director with the McHenry County Housing Authority.

The cause of the fire remained under investigation as of Friday afternoon.

WOODSTOCK – A former McHenry County assistant state’s attorney will have to pay back the thousands of dollars she stole from an ex-boss after she pleaded guilty to a felony theft charge Friday.

Robin L. Perry, 52, was convicted of one count of theft of an amount more than $10,000 but less than $100,000, a Class 2 felony.

Perry, of Spring Grove, was sentenced to three years of conditional discharge on the felony charge.

She was also ordered to pay $26,229.50 in restitution to the McHenry lawyer’s office – $15,000 of which she paid in court Friday.

She will be required to make restitution payments on the remaining $11,229.50.

Perry was charged in February 2016 with two counts of theft of an amount more than $10,000 but less

WOODSTOCK – A former Chicago cop and Spring Grove resident accused of the first-degree murder of his wife was deemed psychologically competent to stand trial Friday.

Lorin Volberding, 71, appeared in court with his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, for an arraignment and to determine whether he was fit to stand trial.

Mourelatos said his client was given an evaluation by Dr. Robert Meyer, a clinical psychologist, and Meyer found that Volberding was able to continue with all court proceedings.

Volberding was charged Feb. 3 after police said he fatally shot his wife, Elizabeth Volberding, also a former cop, on her birthday. She was found in their Spring Grove residence, in the 10800 block of Riviera Drive, after Lorin Volberding called a neighbor and told him what happened.

The neighbor then called 911, and members of the Spring Grove Police Department arrived to also find Lorin Volberding in the home, prosecuLorin tors have said.

Volberding Prosecutors said Lorin Volberding told police clearly and coherently that he shot his wife and then said, “Give me a few moments, and I’ll tell you everything.”

He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Volberding was arraigned Friday and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He faces 20 years to natural life on the murder charge and an additional 25 years to natural life if it is found that a firearm was used in the commission of the crime.

Volberding is in McHenry County Jail custody in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $3 million bond. He will next appear in court May 26.

than $100,000 and four counts of theft of an amount between $500 and $10,000, Class 3 felonies. Authorities said Perry exerted unauthorized control Robin L. over the property of Perry Guy R. Youman at different times between 2012 and 2015.

Youman, the principal and managing attorney at the Law Offices of Rupp & Youman, said he discovered the theft while performing his annual accounting in early 2015. He said Perry was employed as an attorney at his firm for less than a year.

Perry worked as an assistant state’s attorney in the late 1990s.

She also served as a Zoning Board of Appeals board member from 2003 to 2011. She is no longer a practicing attorney in the state, according to the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission.

Judge had barred some statements made during district investigation

By JORDYN REILAND

the time, according to court records.

Hubly was interviewed by Davis on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20. He confirmed he had had former students at his home, they had consumed alcohol and he had kissed a former student, Davis said.

Davis said he provided Hubly with the at-will notice that gave him immunity and then asked him whether he had students over on Oct. 7 and if there was kissing and inappropriate touching at that time. Notes were taken during the two-day interview by Davis and Crystal Lake Central High School Principal Steve Olson.

Davis said Hubly’s union representative stopped the meeting and rescheduled for the next day so they could speak further with officials on what he would and would not be able to disclose. The next day, he said, Hubly confirmed there was alcohol at his home and students were there but said he had not provided it to them.

District officials put Hubly on administrative leave Oct. 19. Hubly resigned Nov. 8.

Davis testified that he interviewed the former student who first reported the allegations. The student said he was reporting all of this because he had found out another former student had been inappropriately touched and given alcohol. Davis was provided with names of other people who had been at Hubly’s house. He then interviewed another former student before speaking with Delmar Dade, a school resource officer at Prairie Ridge High School and on-call detective with the

Crystal Lake Police Department.

Dade testified that he was contacted by Davis and told about the allegations. He wrote a police report and sent it over to the department for further investigation.

Sugden asked him whether he had been aware of notes taken by Davis or Olson during Hubly’s interview with Davis. Dade said he was not. Both Sugden and Nesbit said they were not aware of the notes taken nor did they receive them at any point in the case thus far.

Hubly, dressed in a blue suit, testified that he met with Davis and Olson and signed the form that gave him immunity. The former teacher and union leader said he was asked whether any former students had been at his home on Oct. 7 and he confirmed the name of the student who had been there. He said that the two had kissed, but nothing more had happened.

Hubly also named several other students who had been at his house.

He appeared calm and open to answering questions on the stand.

Judge Joel Berg said Friday that he would bar statements Hubly made to Davis from being used at trial, but would allow all other admissible evidence the state had, including the testimony of the former students who spoke with district officials.

Berg said the district knew details of the allegations before even speaking to Hubly and therefore did not solely rely on what he told them to further the criminal investigation.

Dundee, the release said.

The case was prosecuted by Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Lori Schmidt, who is assigned to the Kane Vincente County Child Advocacy Vasquez Center, and the plea was accepted by Circuit Judge Donald Tegeler Jr., according to the news release.

Under state law, Vasquez is eligible for day-for-day sentencing. He gets credit for 688 days he spent in the Kane County jail, the release said.

LOCAL BRIEFS Crystal Lake man gets 3 years for child sex abuse

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake man was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison Thursday for sexually abusing a child he met through his job as a horse groomer.

WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors will go ahead with a case against a former Crystal Lake Central choir director accused of inappropriately touching former students and giving them alcohol despite a ruling Friday that barred the use at trial of statements made during a school district investigation.

Justin Hubly, 35, was arrested Nov. 30, more than a month after allegations surfaced that he had former students at his house on several occasions, gave them alcohol when they were under 21 and had inappropriate contact with two of them. He faces charges of battery and unlawful delivery of alcohol to a minor, Class A misdemeanors. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail.

Hubly’s attorney Hank Sugden filed a motion to suppress any evidence gathered during an interview on Oct. 19 between Hubly and Randy Davis, assistant superintendent of human resources for Community High School District 155, because Hubly signed a document that gave him immunity from criminal prosecution.

Sugden said Hubly provided infor-

mation that helped police investigate the case and later charge his client.

Sugden said police wouldn’t have had it without the interview with District 155 officials.

Sugden also said his client provided Davis the names of several students who were at his house at some point.

Davis said he could not recall whether that was true when he took the stand Friday.

Assistant State’s Attorney Taylor Nesbit agreed that the statements Hubly made to Davis would be inadmissible, but said investiga- Justin Hubly tors had other evidence from a former student who reported the incidents and other students who were later interviewed by the district and Crystal Lake police.

On Oct. 15, a former student told a teacher about allegations of inappropriate behavior between Hubly and former students. Eleven days later, District 155 officials reported the matter to Crystal Lake police, according to court records.

Prosecutors claim that between June 1 and July 31, Hubly inappropriately touched a former student and gave her alcohol when she was underage. Police also said on that Oct. 7, he inappropriately touched another former student and gave that student alcohol.

Prosecutors also have charged Hubly with giving alcohol to three other former students on Dec. 30, 2015.

The students were younger than 21 at

Village Squire’s liquor license suspended through April 30

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Village Squire will not be serving alcohol until the end of the month after failing a second underage compliance check in a five-year period.

The restaurant at 4818 Route 14 was one of eight last August cited by Crystal Lake police for serving an underage buyer. Its suspension began April 17 and stays in effect until April 30 – businesses can be allowed at the discretion of Mayor Aaron Shepley, who serves as city liquor commissioner, to select the time period during which their liquor license gets suspended.

Sixty-one of the 69 establishments checked by police last August recognized the buyer as underage and passed the compliance check.

City ordinance sets forth a progressive discipline process for liquor violations within a five-year period.

A first offense comes with a $750 fine, while a second offense comes with a $1,500 fine and a suspension. A third offense in a five-year period comes with a $2,500 fine and can be grounds

for revoking the license.

The city and the police department created a system by which participating businesses can test their own employees to ensure compliance with liquor laws. Besides encouraging best practices, a participating business that fails an official compliance check can get some leniency on the penalty.

Shepley said that Village Squire did not participate in the program, and said he encouraged the restaurant to do so after its first offense. The restaurant last failed a compliance check in 2013.

Every business that is granted a liquor license by the City Council gets told the penalties, and is encouraged to participate in the voluntary testing program, prior to the council vote.

Shepley did the same before a Tuesday vote by council members to grant a new business such a license.

“I don’t like levying out these fines and penalties and suspensions. I would prefer to just not have these incidents occur, and when you [participate], it puts me in a much better spot,” Shepley told the applicant.

Board OKs bid for roundabout near Woodstock

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board gave the official goahead to replace the two-way stop at Charles and Raffel roads with a roundabout, starting a project that spent a year in legislative limbo.

Board members voted, 20-4, to accept the $2.18 million bid from Landmark Contractors Inc., of Huntley, to replace the two-way stop just north of Woodstock. Construction is expected to start soon and wrap up later this year.

Improving the intersection has been on the county’s five-year highway improvement plan since 2009. It is in the top 5 percent of all county intersections under local control when it comes to the severity of accidents, according to county records. More than 60 percent of the accidents at the inter-

section just north of Woodstock North High School have resulted in injuries, three-fourths of them requiring trips to the hospital.

The intersection gets about 16,000 vehicles a day, according to traffic counts made in 2012, when the project started being prioritized. McHenry County Division of Transportation Director Joe Korpalski said that drivers who take either road know that the intersection needs to be improved. Both Greenwood Township and the city of Woodstock have spoken in favor of the project.

“The high speed at which cars approach, coupled with the amount of turning vehicles, makes this an ideal spot for a roundabout, which have been shown repeatedly to be safer than traditional four-way intersections and significantly less costly to maintain than those with traffic signals,” Korpalski said in a statement.

How they voted The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday, 20-4, to approve a bid to build a roundabout at the intersection of Charles and Raffel roads north of Woodstock. Board members John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake; Tom Wilbeck, R-Barrington Hills; Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry; and Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, voted no.

A roundabout, a common sight on roads in Europe, is a circular intersection that supporters say is a safer alternative to intersections. Because there is only one-way movement throughout the roundabout – cars travel counterclockwise until they find their turn – they all but eliminate the possibility of head-on and right-angle collisions.

The County Board in April 2016 was poised to approve a $2.6 million bid for a roundabout, but at the last minute sent it back to the Transportation Committee, which had struggled with whether to build a roundabout or stick with a traditional, but more expensive, signal intersection. County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, called the vote a “two-fold win” in that a dangerous intersection will be made safer at a cost about $50,000 less than last year’s bid.

The only opposing board member who spoke prior to Tuesday’s vote was Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry, who said that he would like in future debates over construction projects to have more of a discussion when multiple design options are in play. Board members John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake; Tom Wilbeck, R-Barrington Hills; and Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, also voted no.

Decision postponed on market’s liquor, gaming licenses

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – The Cary Village Board decided to postpone voting on whether to approve a liquor license and video gaming license for Bella’s Bistro Market.

RSB Wine Bar Inc., represented

by Robert Friedman, is proposing to bring its wine bistro concept to the former Sports Clips space, 632 Route 14, according to village documents.

At a Village Board meeting Tuesday, Friedman compared the concept to a Cooper’s Hawk or Eataly; however, some trustees are opposed to the business because they said it relies too heavily on video gaming.

“The look of this is going to be just sensational,” Friedman said. “…

We’re bringing something else to the market that’s not here.”

Owners intend to sell small plate menu items paired with Italian wines and provide off-premises sales of food and wine through the market portion of the store, documents show. Freshcut meats, cheeses, olives and olive oils would be among the items offered, Friedman said.

About half of its sales are expected to come from the market, while half would come from food and beverages consumed on-site, according to the business plan. Friedman said the plans are contingent on receiving a gaming license.

Preliminary plans for the store’s layout include tables and chairs, a

“To me, this is nothing that I think belongs in the shopping center, nothing that belongs in the village of Cary,” Trustee Rick Dudek said.

Cary’s policy previously has been to support video gaming as an accesso-

ry to a restaurant, and licenses granted have been consistent with that policy, according to village documents.

Trustee Ellen McAlpine said she was concerned that Bella’s Bistro Market primarily would be a video gaming venue.

“It’s really the opposite,” Friedman said.

Trustee Kim Covelli said she didn’t mind the concept and would like to hear more from the business owners.

Mayor Mark Kownick also suggested that he and trustees visit the owners’ other location in Summit.

Trustees ultimately decided to review the concept at a future board meeting.

Millennium Cremation Care

Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz dies at age 86 The ASSOCIATED PRESS WARSAW, Poland – Renowned sculptor and fiber artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, Poland’s leading visual artist, has died at age 86, the rector of Warsaw’s Academy of Fine Arts said Friday.

Abakanowicz’ work was notable for her larger-than-life, headless human figures, arranged in crowds in open spaces.

She primarily used thick fibers, hardened with synthetic resins. But she also worked with metals, stone and wood.

Her pieces were disturbing and fascinating at the same time.

“Abakanowicz drew from the human lot of the 20th century, the lot of a man destroyed by the disasters of that century, a man who wants to be born anew,” said Andrzej Szczerski, head of the National Museum in Krakow.

Her works include “War Games,” featuring trunks of old trees turned into

shapes evoking regret. They also include 20 “Walking Figures” in bronze, “Space of Stone” made of granite boulders and the “Unrecognized,” a group of 112 cast iron figures.

Adam Myjak, rector of the Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw, told Polish PAP agency that Abakanowicz had died, and the academy confirmed that to The Associated Press. She began her artistic career as a painter, but soon moved to making three-dimensional pieces from soft fabrics and fibers, works now known as “Abakans.” That led her to larger, firm sculpture forms to be arranged in natural surroundings. Abakanowicz said it fascinated her to explore new techniques and to develop new forms.

“She showed that sculpture does not need to be in one block, that it can be a situation in space and that it can be made of fabrics,” art critic Monika Branicka said.

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – An appeals court in Chicago took just three days to reject a request from imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich for another sentencing hearing, agreeing his 14-year prison term for corruption was a stiff punishment but was well within the sentencing judge’s discretion.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ unanimous Friday ruling also dismissed arguments that Judge James Zagel should have shortened the prison term in August because of Blagojevich’s good behavior mentoring fellow inmates and even putting together a band, The Jailhouse Rockers.

The defeat dashes one of the 60-year-old’s last hopes of winning his freedom anytime soon. It’s rare for rulings to be posted so quickly – an indication the judges considered this an easy decision. The Supreme Court in 2016 refused to take up a broader Blagojevich appeal and is unlikely to agree to hear one focused on sentencing.

“We’re incredibly disappointed and sad,” Blagojevich attorney Leonard Goodman said Friday. He said he’ll have to talk to Blagojevich before deciding any next steps.

One option would be to lobby President Donald Trump for clemency. Blagojevich was on Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” TV show in 2010 as he awaited trial. While Trump eventually “fired” Blagojev-

imposed the longest sentence for public corruption in Illinois history – 14 years.

The three-judge panel’s written opinion concedes a different trial judge could have calculated sentencing guidelines differently and settled on a lesser punishment. But, the six-page ruling adds, “the fact that a judge could have ruled otherwise does not imply that [Judge Zagel] was compelled to rule otherwise.”

The 7th Circuit in 2015 tossed five of 18 convictions and ordered Zagel to resentence Blagojevich.

But in August, Zagel imposed the same 14-year term.

That led to the current appeal, about which oral arguments were heard Tuesday.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Defense secretary: Syria keeps chemical weapons

TEL AVIV, Israel – Syria still possesses chemical weapons, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in Israel on Friday, warning against the banned munitions being used again.

At a news conference in Tel Aviv, Mattis also said that in recent days the Syrian Air Force has dispersed its combat aircraft. The implication is that Syria may be concerned about additional U.S. strikes after the cruise missile attack earlier this month in retaliation for alleged Syrian use of sarin gas.

“There can be no doubt in the international community’s mind that Syria has retained chemical weapons in violation of its agreement and its statement that it had removed them all,” Mattis said. He said he didn’t want to elaborate on the amounts Syria has to avoid revealing sources of intelligence.

Secrecy decisions threaten ‘drain the swamp’ pledge

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The leader of a bipartisan good-government group, Zach Wamp, headed to the White House last week to ask whether President Donald Trump’s “drain the swamp” slogan would ever be more than a throwaway campaign slogan.

One of the president’s closest aides, Steve Bannon, assured him it’s a priority.

Bannon said he “agrees with the concept that Washington is rigged,” said Wamp, a former Republican congressman. “He said he just needs to figure out what to do about it.”

Yet within 48 hours of the visit, the White House announced the end of an Obama administration practice aimed at greater transparency in government: It would no longer release the names of visitors to the executive mansion.

It was another step away from the goal of “drainage,” curbing the outsized influence of Washington powerbrokers. Then, a filing this week showed that the president raised a record $107 million for his inauguration, much of it from companies and people who do business with the government.

Trump also has brought scores of special-interest players into government. And he has yet to push any proposals to tighten campaign finance or lobbying disclosure rules.

Trump’s boldest anti-swamp move – a January executive order limiting the lobbying of outgoing officials – has already been undermined by a waiver he granted to at least one departing employee. The administration says it will never share information about when or why it makes those decisions, another change from the Obama era.

“What they do on ‘drain the swamp’ is very much to-be-determined,” Wamp said. “I think – at least I hope – my stop there last week was a reminder that these things matter.”

Bannon did not respond to requests for comment, and the White House says it considers Trump’s early bureaucracy-slimming moves to be part of its drain-the-swamp work.

At a rally last month in Louisville, Kentucky, Trump re-upped his vow: “We are going to drain the swamp of government corruption in Washington, D.C., and we are going to keep our promises, all of the promises that we made.”

Indeed, “drain the swamp” is scrawled on one of chief strategist Bannon’s white boards documenting those campaign pledges. Rep. Ken Buck, a Colorado Republican who wrote a book about the corrupting influence that fundraising has on Congress (titled, conveniently, “Drain the Swamp”), said Trump has “surrounded himself with people who want to find solutions.”

He is optimistic that the president will

make good on his word but argues that a milelong White House to-do list means it’ll take time.

Democrats are skeptical Trump will ever deliver.

“There’s a huge gap between what he’s said going back to his campaign days, and what he’s done,” said Rep. John Sarbanes, a Maryland Democrat who has introduced several bills aimed at reducing money in politics. “I don’t at this point have any confidence that anything he said about accountability and transparency was anything more than a head fake.”

Tackling corruption in Washington – a goal tied to increasing transparency and decreasing the influence of lobbyists and major donors – interests people of all political persuasions.

A January NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that 66 percent of Americans agree that “reducing the influence of lobbyists and big money in politics” is an “absolute priority for this year.”

Wamp works with a Washington-based nonprofit called Issue One, which has collected 180 past and current public officials from both major parties in what it calls the “reformers caucus” and is pitching Capitol Hill on ways to change the way politicians raise money.

Issue One, like other good-government advocates, has been sharply critical of Trump’s secrecy decisions. Yet Issue One also sees the unconventional president as a natural potential partner, particularly on campaign finance changes such as incentivizing small donors and making the Federal Election Commission enforce rules already on the books.

Trump raised a stunning $282 million from donors giving $200 or less to his 2016 campaign and a joint account with the Republican Party. Even a tweet urging lawmakers to take up the subjects of money in politics and lobbying would help, Wamp said. “His bully pulpit is like no other.”

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Thumbs-up to McHenry County’s pledge to cut levy Thumbs-up: To the McHenry County Board for taking the first step toward reducing property taxes this week by approving a pledge to taxpayers to cut its tax levy starting next year by at least 10 percent. As has been said by some board members, it’s important to have goals.

Now comes the hard part – following through with careful, well-thought out cuts. We hope the board’s effort results in lower property taxes.

And we hope its example leads other units of governments to follow suit. McHenry County’s property taxes are too high.

Thumbs-up: To the McHenry County Planning and Development Department and the McHenry-Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District, which were recognized with certificates Tuesday by Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti for saving taxpayers money by sharing services.

The department has subcontracted a district employee since 2012 to review all wetland permit requirements, saving an estimated $500,000 in salary, benefits and staff time by eliminating the need to hire an extra staff member.

Although one shared employee may seem like a small step toward cost savings, it shows how smaller local governments can lead by example to reduce the tax burden to Illinois residents who suffer under the weight of funding 6,900 units of local government, far more than any other state.

Thumbs-up: To the organizers, participants and superheroes who are participating Sunday in the McHenry County Human Race at McHenry County College. The 5K walk/run allows participants to choose which organization will receive the proceeds of their race fee and any fundraising they choose to do.

NORTHWEST HERALD EDITORIAL BOARD:

ANOTHER VIEW

More bad manufacturing news for state Failing to decide how to fix our sorry state is deciding to fail.

The state of Illinois – the city of Aurora and its environs, specifically – got some bad news recently when Caterpillar announced it was closing a machine production facility there and eliminating about 800 jobs.

As bad news goes, it could have been worse.

The company will add about 500 jobs in Decatur and move another 150 jobs to North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Those who will be left jobless will receive severance pay equaling 40 hours of pay for every year at Cat. Further, Cat employees who lose their jobs at Aurora will be able to apply for other jobs within the worldwide company.

Finally, Aurora will still be the home of Caterpillar facilities that include 1,200 employees.

Nonetheless, Cat’s announcement is indisputably unwelcome. Coming on the heels of the company’s recent announcement that it’s moving its world headquarters to Chicago instead of expanding its corporate home in downtown Peoria, the trend here

is unmistakable.

For all of Cat’s deep ties to Illinois, the tide is turning. It’s looking to other states to invest and expand.

Illinois’ business climate is inhospitable, and it’s likely to remain unwelcoming to capital investment for some time. So manufacturers who are here are going elsewhere. Those who might have come under better circumstances are doing the same.

That’s why other states are gaining manufacturing jobs while Illinois is losing them.

Since 2012, Illinois has lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs, well-paying positions with generous benefits that provide good livings to middle-class families.

During the same time period, Michigan has gained 77,000 manufacturing jobs, Indiana 56,000, Ohio 40,000, Kentucky 35,700, Wisconsin, 16,300, Missouri 2,800 and Iowa 2,800.

All the states that ring Illinois are up, a couple quite substantially, while the Land of Lincoln continues to endure an erosion of its economic base that is reflected by untold economic

stress on people who need and want good jobs and a failing, flailing state government that can find hundreds of ways to spend money but lacks the revenue to support it.

Caterpillar is different from John Deere, which is different from Kraft. But Illinois’ downward direction is clear. Even in areas where it’s made gains, its growth has been slower than other states.

So why does Illinois continue to embrace failure?

Why has the Legislature gone nearly two years without passing a budget and overseeing changes that would help boost the economy?

Although it’s effectively bankrupt, the state is not legally eligible to file for bankruptcy.

Instead, it’s sinking further into financial oblivion – budget deficits, underfunded public pensions, unpaid bills.

Somehow, people hope, it will all work out in the end. But how long will that take?

Too many people and employers aren’t sticking around to find out.

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

What Illinoisans should know about their taxes Tax Day might be behind us, but Illinoisans have plenty of reasons to worry about their finances.

Here are three things families in the Land of Lincoln need to know about the cut government takes from their pocketbooks.

First, the real pain doesn’t come on the income tax forms due in April.

It comes in envelopes arriving twice a year: property tax bills. These bills are the primary reason a recent study found people in Illinois bear the highest state and local tax burden in the nation.

Laura Valdez in Sandwich spoke of the dread she and her husband feel before that bill arrives.

“On property taxes, it’s gone from frustration to fear,” Valdez said. “Are we even going to be able to sell our home when someone does the math on the taxes?

“Since we moved in, our house’s value is down $90,000 but the property tax bill has doubled.”

Valdez said she must use 10 percent to 15 percent of her family’s income just to pay real estate taxes.

Statewide, more than 6 percent of

ACA problems have fixes

To the Editor: It is common knowledge that since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare), more than 20 million people have health insurance related to the ACA. Popular provisions such as not being denied insurance for pre-existing conditions and no lifetime limits also are well-known. It is being said that the ACA soon will “explode,” and Obamacare will be a disaster. It is important to understand why premiums are increasing and some insurers are leaving the Marketplace.

When the ACA was passed, insurance companies were promised that money they would initially lose by covering everyone (sicker people to whom they had previously denied coverage) would be reimbursed by the government.

They would in effect be “made whole” until things evened out and they could start making money again.

In fiscal 2015, the companies should have received about $2.9 billion to cover losses.

A number of Republicans, however, succeeded in gutting the reimbursement fund so insurance companies only received about $400 million.

This consistent shortfall threw the

VIEWS Austin Berg typical household income gets eaten up by residential property taxes. That share is up more than 75 percent since 1990, and without major reforms to keep local government spending in check, the upward spiral won’t slow down anytime soon.

The second thing that should concern Illinoisans about taxes: State revenues are slipping. In a healthy economy, tax revenues should be growing steadily even as the tax rate stays flat. That’s not happening here.

Compared with this point last fiscal year, Illinois has taken in $1.3 billion less in state revenues. Keep in mind, state tax rates haven’t changed since then. Corporate income tax receipts alone are down nearly $750 million.

This means Illinois could be flirting with a statewide recession.

Jobs growth is weak, business activity is low and people are leaving the state in record numbers. So

insurance companies into a crisis, and premiums in some places skyrocketed.

Legislative sabotage is responsible for many of the current ACA problems.

These problems can be fixed, if only Congress would have the will to do it.

Sandra Brunati Spring Grove

Pre-exisiting conditions must stay in ACA

To the Editor: As soon as next week, Congress will be looking at a new version of the American Health Care Act, the ‘replace’ portion of the push to replace the ACA. The so-called ‘MacArthur amendment’ is designed to appease some of the Freedom Caucus by allowing states to waive the community rating provision.

This means that while insurers still will have to technically offer insurance to those with pre-existing conditions, they can charge significantly higher rates for them.

What this will do in practice is to give the illusion of covering pre-existing conditions, but will price people completely out of the market by charging premiums so high that no one could afford them.

a massive tax hike – such as the one included in the Illinois Senate’s “grand bargain”– is exactly what lawmakers shouldn’t be doing as the state starves for economic growth.

Third, Illinoisans should know who pays.

The most recent data from the Illinois Department of Revenue shows that the top 19 percent of Illinois taxpayers (people taking home more than $100,000 a year) cover more than 64 percent of the state’s income taxes.

Illinoisans earning more than $1 million a year pay 15 percent of Illinois’ income taxes, or $2.6 billion.

That’s equal to the income tax bill paid by the bottom 58 percent of earners combined.

Some people still may think that’s not enough. They say wealthier Illinoisans are not paying their fair share.

And they’re welcome to think that.

But good luck forcing well-heeled taxpayers to stick around.

Wealth flight is all too real here.

Illinois is experiencing record levels of out-migration. And since the 2011 income tax hikes, the income difference between the people coming in

and the people heading out has grown drastically.

The average income of taxpayers who leave the state ($77,000) is $20,000 more than the taxpayers who arrive here ($57,000), according to data from the Internal Revenue Service.

That’s the largest difference in the nation.

And don’t think millionaires are blind to the growing herd of people leaving. In fact, a 2015 report estimated Chicago was the only American city to see significant loss of millionaire households. With a net loss of 3,000 millionaires, Chicago was among the likes of Athens and Rome.

No one likes Tax Day, but Illinoisans are suffering from a different type of terror. Maybe Tax Day knocked some sense into state lawmakers who can’t seem to get dreams of multibillion-dollar tax hikes out of their heads.

One can hope.

Some suggest high risk pools could cover these people, but these pools have proven to be a loser in all 33 states where they existed, losing a total of $2 billion the year before the ACA eliminated them.

Tell Reps. Hultgren and Roskam that those with pre-existing conditions must retain the benefits of the ACA.

A response from McHenry County treasurer has revealed the truth: Illinois law forces county offices to submit unclaimed funds to the state annually.

The $130,000 that was “found” is not county money or money “owed to McHenry County.”

Why would “fake news” like this be disseminated by the Northwest Herald?

Franks is trying to shield from the public, that with the help of County Administrator Peter Austin, Franks hired two former campaign workers without following county procedure and budgeting policies. Franks needs to prove his two cohorts’ “worth” to taxpayers.

FOIA response provided that this one action increased the chairman’s budget expenditures from a total of $2,573.36 in 2016 to $102,000 in just salaries, not including benefits and pensions, for these two hires alone.

Franks’ improper patronage hirings must be rescinded by the County Board to enforce budgeting policies in order to protect credit and bond ratings along with McHenry County taxpayers.

Suzanne Hoban Woodstock

Franks’ hires should be rejected

To the Editor: McHenry County has its own brand of “fake news” perpetuated by Jack Franks, his patronage hires, and local Franks supporters who fuel Franks’ quest for power.

However, the most complacent in spreading mistruths is the Northwest Herald. Do writers simply copy and paste text from Franks’ press releases rather than actually investigating an issue?

Recent “fake news” includes a February NWH article and subsequent letters to the editor praising Franks’ hired cronies for their “hunch” producing a “windfall” via a quick I-Cash website search.

The Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A mobile app to track school buses, Arabic cooking videos on YouTube and even a portable bidet are finding support from governments in the Gulf as a slide in oil prices forces states to cull cushy public sector jobs and look to entrepreneurs to plug the gap.

Recent $1 billion valuations of local start-ups Careem, a ride-hailing app, and retailer Souq.com, which was acquired by Amazon in March, have raised interest in the region’s budding entrepreneurship scene.

Both companies are headquartered in Dubai, an emirate with futuristic skyscrapers that is working to harness the power of the region’s majority young population with a minister of state for youth affairs who is a mere 22 years old.

Across the Arabian Peninsula, governments – hit hard by a sharp decline in oil prices since 2014 – are competing to attract and keep local entrepreneurs who might provide the region’s next “unicorn,” the industry term for startups that reach a valuation of a billion dollars.

Khaled Talhouni, the managing partner at venture capitalist firm Wamda Capital, said the negative headlines out of the Middle East have tended to overshadow the good, including the growing entrepreneurial spirit.

“There is a huge upswell of entrepreneurial activity happening on the

And there are hundreds of companies beneath them, following them,” he said.

The Middle East is no Silicon Valley, though. For starters, Talhouni said that unlike the vast single market of the U.S., local entrepreneurs have to grapple with various customs regulations, laws, consumer preferences and norms across nearly two dozen different Arabic-speaking countries to reach the full Middle Eastern market.

Many of the tech startups are finding

success by localizing ideas successfully started abroad, from Amazon to Uber.

YallaParking, for example, helps people find and rent parking spots.

“I think it is getting very competitive. What we tend to see, and people that we know, they’re bringing ideas from other places that are not necessarily here yet,” said co-founder and CEO Craig McDonald, a Scottish national who grew up in Dubai. “For example, YallaParking: there are big companies around the world that do what we do, but no one was doing it here.”

Local government support for startups has mostly sprung out of a need to create jobs.

According to the World Economic Forum, the Middle East and North Africa needs to create 75 million jobs by 2020 just to keep employment close to current levels. Failing to do so could lead to slow economic growth and the kind of social unrest brought on by the Arab Spring protests of 2011.

“Unfortunately, the governments in general just recognized the importance of the entrepreneurship ecosystem,” said Mohamed al-Ruwais, a partner at STC Ventures, a venture capital fund whose anchor investor is the Saudi Telecom Company.

The kings and ruling sheikhs of the Gulf have so far ridden out the Arab Spring, but demographics and time are forcing governments to look to the private sector, where creative startups and savvy entrepreneurs can provide an economic lifeline to future stability.

In one of the starkest examples of this regionwide push, Saudi Arabia’s powerful young defense minister and second-in-line to the throne, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is launching a university named after him this fall, in partnership with Massachusetts’ Babson College, focused on business and entrepreneurship training.

In Saudi Arabia, the Middle East’s biggest economy, half of the population is under 25 and around 70 percent is under 35, representing a rapidly growing labor force.

Bill Murray to join cellist for music, spoken word tour

Shonda Rhimes attends the “Scandal” 100th Episode Celebration on April 8 at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood, Calif. Rhimes, the mastermind behind “Grey’s Anatomy” and other TV hits, is sharing her screenwriting expertise through an online master class.

Shonda Rhimes tells all about how to be a screenwriter LOS ANGELES – Shonda Rhimes, the TV mastermind whose hits include “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” keeps a lid on plot twists. But she’s giving aspiring screenwriters a behind-the-scenes look at how to succeed in her craft.

In six hours of online classes, Rhimes offers lessons on writing scripts, pitching pilots, and how series’ writers work together to create stories and screenplays.

Scripts from “Scandal” and the “story bible” that laid out the characters and structure of “Grey’s Anatomy” are part of her masterclass.com course.

So why spill?

“I love the idea that for $90, somebody who couldn’t afford to go to film school would get to take this class,” Rhimes said. “No matter where you are, what you were doing, where you were in life, you could stop for a little bit of time and take this class and get this education.”

“It felt like an equalizer to me, and that was great,” she said of the project from San Francisco-based company MasterClass, adding, “I’m also the child of professors, so it seems to be the way to go: You teach things.”

The so-called second golden age of television with its expanded number of outlets, including streaming platforms, has created new but not unlimited opportunities. Breaking into the competitive field requires creative thinking on and off the page, Rhimes suggested.

She went the “film school route,” she said, but there are other ways to get started.

NEW YORK – Bill Murray is set to go on tour with a chamber music trio for a program of songs and literary readings.

The New York Times reported that the actor is pairing up with cellist Jan Vogler for the project titled, “New Worlds.” The highlights of the tour include songs from Van Morrison and “West Side Story” and readings from Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Ernest Hemingway. Music includes the works of Gershwin, Bach and Schubert.

The program will premiere in the U.S. on July 20 at California’s Festival Napa Valley.

A recording of “New Worlds” is planned for release in August.

The Times reports the odd pairing for the tour stems from Murray and Vogler sitting across from each other on a flight from Berlin to New York in 2013.

Clinton: Progress in LGBT rights may not be secure

NEW YORK – Hillary Clinton told an audience of LGBT advocates Thursday night that the progress they’ve achieved in recent years may not be secure under the Donald Trump administration, and urged them to keep fighting.

“I know that the election hit a lot of us hard,” Clinton said of her bitter loss to Trump in November. “But I can tell you this: Even when it feels tempting to pull the covers over your head, please keep going.”

The audience at the fundraising dinner for The Center, an LGBT community group in New York, greeted Clinton with multiple standing ovations and cheers as she accepted the organization’s Trailblazer Award. One of the biggest cheers came when she reiterated remarks she made in Geneva in 2011 as secretary of state: “Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”

“But I think we have to face the fact that we may not ever be able to count on this administration to lead on LGBT issues,” Clinton said. “Let’s remember, 2018, the midterm elections ... We can never stop fighting.”

Queen Elizabeth II turns 91 with day at the horse races

The queen, who owns and breeds racehorses, was spotted smiling broadly and chatting animatedly Friday with jockeys and staff at Newbury Racecourse, not far from her Windsor Castle home.

She visited the racecourse with daughter Princess Anne and sat in the royal box to watch her thoroughbred Maths Prize run; it finished fifth.

There were also official celebrations in London, where a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery rode horse-and-gun carriages past Buckingham Palace before staging a 41-gun salute in Hyde Park at noon.

NEW YORK – A multisensory blockbuster of a show at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum here invites visitors to explore Jazz Age design in all its glittering, decadent and innovative glory.

Edgy furniture and tableware; textiles and wallpapers in rich oranges and teals; odes to the New York skyscraper – there’s nothing quietly “decorative” in “The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s,” which is on view in New York through Aug. 20 and then opens at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Sept. 30. It runs there through Jan. 14, 2018.

Visitors should check preconceptions about “Art Deco” at the door. That popular term for 1920s style was coined well after the era ended, said Sarah Coffin, a curator at the Cooper Hewitt, who co-curated the exhibit with Stephen Harrison, a curator at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It was co-organized by both museums.

The pivotal era that linked a more traditionalist aesthetic before it to the Bauhaus and midcentury modern eras that AP photo came later more aptly was known in its own time as the Jazz This undated photo provided by the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, shows an Installation view of “The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.”

Age. Through more than 400 works, many of them from private collections and never before displayed in public, this show reveals why.

“Exploring the significant impact of European influences, the explosive growth of American cities, avant-garde artistic movements, new social mores and the role of technology, ‘The Jazz Age’ seeks to define the American spirit of the period,” Cooper Hewitt Director Caroline Baumann said.

The show begins quietly with a relatively staid section on the “Persistence of Traditional Good Taste,” focusing on the American colonial and Federalist designs in furniture and tableware (and a monumental tapestry woven by New Jersey’s Edgewater Tapestry Looms) that were favored by traditionalists of the early 1920s. This was a period when early American design found new respect with the opening of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the rise of interior design, led by pioneering women such as Dorothy Draper and Nancy McClelland, who helped introduce new contexts for old wallpapers and fabrics.

This section, visible from many of the other galleries, serves as a point of reference as the decade, then lurches from traditionalist to decidedly forward-looking. “A New Look” reveals furniture and other design pieces of the early 1920s with a more modern sense of style. Works by cutting-edge French designers Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann,

LEFT AND ABOVE: “The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s” features more than 400 works, many of them from private collections and never before displayed in public.

The show, on display at the Smithsonian Design Museum, reveals why.

Edgar Brandt and Andre Mare reveal 18th century styles, particularly in furniture, revisited with a luxurious, sleek and modern sensibility. The pieces are paired with ceramics, textiles and wall coverings in bold, bright flora and fauna patterns, in brash teals and oranges.

“Color is a big part of the picture,” Coffin said.

Around the corner, “Bending the Rules” underlines the revolutionary social context behind increasingly innovative Jazz Age style. Women had earned the right to vote, and many cast aside old social customs. Despite Prohibition, an array of glamorous cocktail shakers and glasses reveals rules being, very stylishly, bent.

“There’s a lot more flash suddenly, and a movement away from subdued

decorum,” Coffin said.

“A Smaller World” reveals the huge impact of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, in Paris. Many influential American designers flocked to see the new designs there after World War l.

A selection of 400 objects from the exposition were sent on a tour of American museums in 1926, and U.S. department stores held their own exhibits.

The new aesthetics, coupled with a fascination with industrial design and the powerful symbolism of American skyscrapers, led to skyscraper-inspired wall coverings and bookshelves, desks and even tableware.

The exhibit reveals movement in the late 1920s toward more abstract designs, particularly in architecture, which dis-

covered open-plan interiors. This theme is explored through a gallery devoted to “Abstraction and Reinvention,” highlighting the impact of art movements like Cubism.

Finally, in “Toward a Machine Age,” we are brought to the end of the ’20s, when machines inspired much of American taste, including the arrival of bent chrome furniture, combining sleek modern forms with mass production.

The show ends in the early 1930s with iterations of Charles Lindbergh’s trans-Atlantic flight told in upholstery, wallpaper and tableware. But the glitzy cocktail party seems to be over, with bold teals giving way to muted shades of sage, and now-mass-produced innovations made in cheaper iterations with the start of the Great Depression.

Trellises and other supports blend into the garden

By BARBARA DAMROSCH

Special to The Washington Post One evening, I was sitting on the bench beside our pond, watching spring arrive. The ice nearly had melted on the pond, and the buds on the swamp maples were showing red.

Nesting birds were twittering, and airplanes were drawing silvery lines across the sky.

Even though the jets were too high to be heard, their trails struck me as an imposition on the scene, because they seemed so regular. They brought to mind the old, much-debated belief there are no straight lines in nature.

Looking around me, I noted the spruce trees among the maples, their tall trunks vying for straightness in an effort to rise above their neighbors and gain a better share of the sun’s rays. In the still air, the rope swing on a nearby maple branch hung straight down, following the plumb line of gravity’s pull. The pond’s smooth surface, reflecting the trees, was a near-perfect glassy plane.

The natural geometry of up, down and level seemed like a good framework with which to approach spring and the garden chores soon to be done.

Plants soon would be sending their

stems upward, and a long list of them would succumb to gravity without a human assist.

Our household boasts a large collection of metal plant supports, including peony rings and the galvanized steel pipes we use to trellis vining crops such as tomatoes and beans. The bean vines wrap themselves around the strings on their own, but with the tomato vines, which are not twining, plastic clips that encircle both vine and string help support the plants, especially when weighed down by heavy fruits.

Plastic clips are useful for keeping fruit-laden tomato stems from collapsing, but apart from that, the plants’ upward urge takes charge.

For those who find the gleam of a steel bar as intrusive as a jet trail, there are materials that blend in better with their surroundings. My husband has built trellises from straight young saplings, cut from the woods. He’d buy copper, T-shaped plumbing connectors and whittle the ends of the saplings so they could be inserted tightly into the three openings of the T. Tall pea vines can be supported on similar trellises, though we provide plastic or nylon netting rather then

strings. We have sometimes gone the natural route and used pea brush instead. My father taught me how to cut twiggy birch branches and stick them in the ground for the peas to climb.

One of the most versatile and popular natural supports is bamboo.

Bamboo plants, of which there are many species worldwide, are evergreen perennial grasses. Depending on the type, they may be grown for edible shoots, cellulose fiber for the production of rayon, and material so strong it is used for ladders, bridges, tall buildings, swords – and bamboo canes for staking plants.

Those bamboo canes often are dyed an ugly green, but ones with the natural tan color of cured bamboo can be found. They come in many sizes. In the vegetable garden, you might use a single short one to stake a pepper plant, or a row of tall ones, each holding up a pole bean. I’ve often made pole-bean tepees, in which three or four poles were joined at the top.

Sometimes, I’ve run horizontal poles along the tops of tepees in a row, for more stability.

Poles with a diameter of more than an inch are harder to find than skinny ones, but I’ve seen them as wide as 5

inches. I once made a two-tiered rail fence out of big, fat ones and trained grape vines along it.

Bamboo poles that remain stuck in the ground ultimately will rot at the bottom, so they usually are stored over the winter under cover. My motley collection includes many sizes, so I always can find some that are just the right length for the job. The color has faded from any dyed ones, another plus.

If you liked playing with Tinkertoys as a kid, you will have fun with bamboo pole structures. The triangulation principle gives extra strength to the tepee form, but boxlike structures can be made to work, too. Poles can be lashed together using sturdy twine or with attachment gizmos such as Garden Cane Connects, sold by Gardener’s Supply Co. and accommodating of any angle.

Some people become artists at creating bamboo supports. Check out a short YouTube video, “Bamboo Plant Support Structures,” from the University of Maryland Extension’s Home and Garden Information Center.

In the video, a gardener named Joel Warren ties poles together with an elegant “basic Japanese knot” worthy of a Zen master.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier health.

So what are vitamins, exactly? They’re nutrients we need in small quantities to maintain various metabolic functions that, when taken in total, add up to good health.

Vitamins help the body to produce energy, ward off cell damage, facilitate in the absorption and utilization of minerals, and play varying roles in the regulation of cell and tissue growth.

Vitamins must be taken in food because the body either doesn’t produce them in adequate quantities, or doesn’t produce them at all. Vitamin D is a bit of an outlier. It’s an essential nutrient that does not naturally appear in food in adequate quantities, but is produced when our skin is exposed to the ultraviolet B rays in sunlight. It also is available in fortified foods like milk, fish and mushrooms.

Take an honest look at your diet. If you find some nutritional holes, our advice is to adjust and improve your eating habits.

If you do decide to make a multivitamin part of your daily regimen, keep in mind it cannot take the place of a balanced and healthy diet. Not only do fruits, vegetables, whole grains and leafy greens contain vitamins, they also provide fiber, which is important to good health. Whole foods also contain trace nutrients and other useful compounds no pill or supplement can re-create.

Dear Doctor: Do I really need to take a multivitamin? My sisters are convinced you can’t get all the nutrients you need without one, but it seems to me that as long you’re eating right, you’re covered.

Dear Reader: Multivitamins are the most widely used supplements in the United States. It is estimated between one-third and one-half of all Americans take a multivitamin each day. As a result, your question is one that comes up often in our practices. And while we can’t offer specific advice, we can share and explain the information we give to our patients.

The short answer is for most patients, we believe if you’re eating a balanced diet, one that includes whole grains, a variety of vegetables and fruits, adequate lean protein and dairy products, there is no need for a multivitamin. However, when a patient’s diet isn’t ideal, then a multivitamin can offer insurance for the deficient vitamins and/or minerals.

Of course, there are exceptions. Pregnant women and women who are trying to become pregnant need at least 400 micrograms of folate a day, a B vitamin that helps to prevent neural tube defects. For these women, a prenatal vitamin or a daily folic acid supplement is recommended. Nursing women have unique nutritional needs that may call for supplementation. Some elderly adults whose appetites have diminished and who therefore don’t eat a balanced diet may benefit from adding a multivitamin.

Someone on a restricted diet, such as a vegan, typically needs a B12 supplement.

A strict vegetarian may require additional zinc, iron or calcium. And for individuals with chronic conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, B12 deficiency or malabsorption, or a history of gastric bypass surgery, then supplemental vitamins and minerals are necessary to maintaining good

tic, it isn’t the answer for everyone. Because you were married to an angry, abusive man, it’s for the best you finally ended the marriage. I can’t help feeling what you did was a positive step for both of you.

Dear Abby: When we go to church with our daughters, ages 9 and 11, we are greeted at the door by an usher in his 70s. He has told our 9-year-old several times he’s going to marry her when she grows up. She doesn’t know what to say. My husband and I don’t like it. What should we do? – Dumbstruck In The East Dear Dumbstruck: Tell the usher privately his comment is not appreciated. Discuss it with the minister afterward, if necessary. Your daughter is a nice girl, but I wouldn’t blame her if she told him, “If you’re still alive and breathing by the time I’m grown up, I’ll consider it.”

R O S E T T I

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have a 16-year-old stepdaughter, Jeanne “Candy.” My Phillips wife recently discovered three bottles of liquor in the car Candy drives. When confronted, she told my wife the booze was for an upcoming party. We grounded her.

My wife called her ex-husband to tell him their daughter is grounded and he would have to pick her up on his visitation weekend, as she won’t be driving. He then informed my wife he was the one who bought her the booze. I’m dumbfounded and don’t know how to handle this. Please advise. – Shocked In Houston Dear Shocked: Candy is only 16, so she can be forgiven her lapse in judgment. Her father is old enough to know better than to hand over bottles of alcohol to his minor child. In the state of Texas, he has violated the law. The legal age for consumption or possession of alcohol is 21, with few exceptions. If you are smart, you will stay out of it. Your wife and her ex should discuss this and reach an agreement about how this will be handled in the future.

Dear Abby: I am writing to share a positive experience I hope will help others. It’s what a relief divorce can be.

I was miserable married to my husband. I used to hear people on the radio talk about their beloved husband or wife, and my heart would twist with regret I never felt that way. I spent years almost numb because I was lying to myself about my marriage. I spent years reading books on how to improve our relationship, years going to workshops. Nothing changed.

I always was walking on eggshells waiting for him to yell. I didn’t trust my husband to be kind to me, and frankly, I don’t think he ever loved me. After much therapy and a lot of very hard work, I finally got out of the relationship. I thank God every day for my freedom. Sometimes I’m so happy being by myself reading a book or making my own plans I feel I’m going to burst with joy.

My days are precious to me now. For me, divorce has been an awakening. – Patricia In Massachu-

In “Fight Club,” novelist and freelance journalist Chuck Palahniuk wrote, “Maybe we should always assume the worst.”

At the bridge table, we should always assume the worst possible distribution and try to work out how we can still make or break the contract.

It would be easy for South to get complacent in this four-spade contract after West leads the heart king.

What should declarer do?

At the two-level, a negative double suggests at least nine points and at most eight losers. The North hand has the points, but nine losers (assuming a 4-4 spade fit exists).

However, it would be too cautious to pass over West’s weak jump overcall.

Get in and fight for the contract.

South is aggressive in bidding game, but, based on West’s revealing intervention, he expects to know where the missing honors are located.

South can see four potential losers: one spade, one heart and two clubs. Certainly, if West has the spade king, East is sure to hold the club ace.

But if East has the trump king, there are 10 tricks via four spades, one heart and five diamonds. Declarer just has to be careful how he tries to draw trumps.

South should take the first trick (so as not to risk a club shift), cross to the board with a diamond and ... what?

Declarer should lead the spade nine, the lowest trump in the dummy that can win the trick if the finesse is working. When the nine holds, declarer runs the spade queen, plays a spade to his jack, cashes the ace of spades and trundles the diamonds for his contract.

Big day for nonseniors; Huntley wins 6th straight team title

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Marengo freshman Finn Schirmer looked up to the stands and kept grinning, the braces on his teeth showing, in wonderment of what had just occurred.

“It’s insane. I have all my supporters,” Schirmer said. “My grandma, my mom, my dad, just supporting me. I come out here and do it for everyone, and then I do it for myself.”

Schirmer made himself quite well known Friday as he won the 110-meter high hurdles, then came back and won the 300 intermediate hurdles at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet at Huntley’s Red Raider Stadium.

Schirmer fit well into the theme of the boys meet, which was nonseniors winning. Of the 14 individual events, 10 were won by juniors, sophomores or Schirmer.

Huntley ran away with its sixth straight team title with 1591/2 points. The Red Raiders dominated in sprints with junior Dubem Anikamadu winning the 100 and 200 and anchoring Huntley’s winning 4x100 team with Ron Noll, Eric Mooney and Melvin Aninagyei.

“I didn’t realize it was six years in a row,” Aninagyei said. “We have a lot of potential and we’re mostly juniors. I’m just happy to be a part of this team.”

Jacobs (92) finished second in the boys meet despite losing its top sprinter Steven Bellefontaine after the 100.

Bellefontaine pulled up with a right hamstring injury and did not return.

The Golden Eagles still managed to beat Huntley in the 4x200 relay with Loren Strickland, Caleb Walker, John Jameson and Aidan Ludlum running.

“We won it for (Bellefontaine),”

Huntley’s Lukas Rolas (from left), Marengo’s Finn Schirmer and Huntley’s Brian Bala compete in the 110-meter hurdles during the McHenry County Track and Field Meet on Friday at Huntley’s Red Raider Stadium. Schirmer won that event and the 300 hurdles.

Jameson said.

Crystal Lake Central’s Cole Barkocy was one senior to win on the track Friday, successfully defending his 3,200 title. It was Barkocy’s second race after nursing a strained calf muscle that kept him out of the indoor season.

Barkocy passed Crystal Lake South’s Jack Becker in the seventh lap and won in 9:21.10.

“I was trying to take it out easy and

negative split it,” said Barkocy, meaning a faster second 1,600 than the first. “This is only my second race I’ve ran, I’ve been injured. I don’t have many workouts.

I’ve been on the elliptical for about six weeks. That (time) was a big confidence booster. I wasn’t sure where my fitness was at. I wasn’t sure I was going to run a 9:20, that’s a good indicator for where I’ll be at by the time state rolls around.”

Prairie Ridge sophomore Grant Jen-

sen had a big night with a win in the 800 and two wins with the Wolves’ 4x800 and 4x400 relays. The other underclassmen with a victory on the track was Jacobs’ Zach Albrecht in the 1,600.

Strickland (long jump), McHenry junior Brian Keyes (discus), Richmond-Burton junior Reed Marshall (triple jump) and Huntley sophomore Alex Pitrone (shot put) had wins on Thursday.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: McHENRY COUNTY MEET

Huntley repeats as champion

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The host Red Raiders were not going to let go after getting a taste with their first McHenry County Track and Field Meet girls championship last year.

Huntley seized control in the middle of the track races

Friday, consistently doubling up in points, to keep its distance on McHenry.

“It’s really exciting,” said junior Chloe Smith, the 800 meters champion. “Last year we didn’t have too much to expect, we were hoping to win and if we did that’d be great.

This year we were setting high standards and we wanted the

championship again.”

In one six-event stretch – from the 100 high hurdles through the 300 low hurdles – the Red Raiders scored 85 points. Huntley finished with 159 1/2 points, with McHenry taking second with 125. The Warriors beat the Raiders by a

Chargers score 10 in final 3 innings; Gators nip Whips NORTHWEST HERALD

• GIRLS TRACK

Continued from page 2 narrow margin at the Crystal Lake Central Invitational last week.

Tyra Miller and Daryn Davis finished 1-2 in the 100 high hurdles. Smith and Mary Raclawski did the same in the 800. McKenzie Krich and Ola Oladipo were first and third in the 400, and Kendall Only and Miller were second and third in the 300 hurdles.

“Daryn and Kendall bring so much talent on their own,” Miller said. “This feels great to be a part of.”

Huntley capped the meet by winning the 4x400 with Alex Handchetz, Oladipo, Krich and Smith.

McHenry senior Janessa Kruse won the 100 and 200 and ran with the Warriors’ winning 4x100 team with Jamie Howie, Holly Vogt and Jenna Pauly, which broke the meet record at 50.39.

Crystal Lake South’s Caitlin Bruzzini repeated as champion in the 3,200 and 1,600. Woodstock’s Syd Heidtke also was a repeat champ in the 300 hurdles.

Heidtke said her steps had been a little off, but she ran her season-best 48.13 to beat Only at 49.64.

“It was really nerve-wracking at the beginning,” Heidtke said. “My coach told me to focus on steps, I took a fast start and tried to maintain that.”

Crystal Lake South 11, Hampshire 10 (8 inn.): At Hampshire, the hosts

scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings, but Crystal Lake South (10-5, 4-3) pushed across a run in the top of the eighth to beat the Whip-Purs (8-6, 3-3) in their FVC game.

Emily Sulikowski had three hits, including a home run, and five RBIs to lead the Gators’ offense. Carly Chovanec, Sam Schettl and Lauren Schoen each had a pair of hits, with Schoen hitting a double.

Christina Toniolo came away the win, going all eight innings, giving up 10 runs, eight of them earned, on 11 hits and nine walks. Toniolio struck out seven Whip-Purs.

Peyton De Chant led Hampshire’s offense, going 3 for 3 with two runs scored and a pair of walks. Erin Doyle and Morgan Haefling each had

two hits, Delaney Rummell had a triple and Sarah Bowen had a double.

The Gators also received a Rockford East own goal. Emily Warren, Jenna Ross, Anna Wruck and Abigail Wiegand assisted on goals for the Gators (9-1-1).

Annika Sevcik was in goal for the shutout.

Woodstock North Tournament: At Woodstock, Taylor Prerost and Daniela Miranda scored as the Thunder beat Belvidere, 2-1, in the opening game of their own tournament.

Prospect Invitational: At Mount Prospect, McHenry (0-8-1) lost both of its games in the tournament, 2-1 to Elgin and 6-0 to Prospect. In the loss to Elgin, Lauren Pearson scored the Warriors’ only goal with an assist from Kailey Lindholm.

4 SOFTBALL: JACOBS 6, PRAIRIE RIDGE 0

Svedman takes no-hitter into 7th Freshman shuts out high-scoring Wolves in Eagles’ FVC victory

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The fact that Jacobs’ scoreboard wasn’t working Friday sat well with freshman Savannah Svedman. Starting against a Prairie Ridge offense averaging 10-plus runs a game, the right-handed pitcher carried a Savannah no-hitter into the sevSvedman enth inning.

Prairie Ridge’s Kaleigh O’Brien broke up the no-hit bid with a solid single to left field to start the inning, but Svedman kept the shutout for Jacobs in a 6-0 Fox Valley Conference softball victory.

“Honestly, I didn’t know,” Svedman said about carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning. “I just thought the whole game, 0-0, and I knew my team was behind me, so I trusted them every time.”

Svedman threw 54 of 84 pitches for strikes and struck out seven Wolves, walking three. She also hit a batter

Jacobs, jr., C

Mrzlak drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the second to force in a run, the first of four runs in the inning. She later stole home when Prairie Ridge threw to second base on a double steal.

Hits for Prairie Ridge against Jacobs freshman pitcher Savannah Svedman

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

All six runs by Jacobs came with two outs. Hayley Masching nearly hit a line-drive home run to dead center field in the third inning despite the wind blowing straight in, smacking it a foot or two from the top of the fence for a double. but allowed only two batters to reach second base. Haley Barnes drew a walk against Svedman after O’Brien’s hit, but Svedman retired the next two on strikeouts and ended the game on an unassisted fielder’s choice to

shortstop Hannah Slocum.

Svedman – who has started every game for the Eagles (8-5-1, 3-3 FVC) after sophomore Katie Armstrong went down with a wrist injury – had the Wolves (9-2, 4-2) uncharacteristically off-balance with a mixture of fastballs and changeups.

“She was mixing speeds, kept our hitters off balance and she did a nice job,” Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck said. “It was as good of a job as anyone we’ve faced this year. ... We’re an aggressive team, and we always have been. We just have to learn to be more patient up there.”

Svedman helped the Eagles get out to a 1-0 lead in the first with a twoout single and Kerri Healy on second base. The right fielder let the ball get under her glove, allowing Healy (two runs, steal) to score.

In the second, Jacobs had another two-out rally after three of the first four batters reached base on singles against Wolves starting pitcher Hailey Baker. Jess Mrzlak drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs, followed by a two-run single by Emily Pena into right to score Drew Lehman

and Healy.

Mrzlak later scored on a delayed double steal when catcher Maggie Schremp threw to second base, trying to throw out Pena, who was safe. That allowed Mrzlak to run home without a return throw, giving Jacobs a 5-0 lead.

Hayley Masching (3 for 3) smacked a double high off the center-field fence in the third, and Grace O’Malley (3 for 3) drove her in with a double into left-center field, also with two outs.

“Some of the girls on the team know [Baker], and they were kind of giving us the lowdown,” said Pena, who was 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs. “I think everybody came in with their own mentality and kind of knew that we had to hit to win today, and our defense had to be solid to win.”

As it turned out, one run would have been enough Friday.

“Savannah did a great job,” said Mrzlak, who caught Svedman. “She was really hitting her spots, and they were kind of swinging at the first pitch, which helped keep her pitch count low. Her changeup was hot today, and they were swinging at a lot in the dirt, so that helped her out.”

SOFTBALL: HUNTLEY 14, McHENRY 4 (6 INN.)

Red Raiders show they can swing bats, too

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley softball team knew it was set from a pitching standpoint this season with junior Tiffany Giese back in the circle. Games like Friday’s against McHenry showed the Red Raiders are just as dangerous offensively.

Huntley’s first five batters scored and Giese limited a late McHenry rally as the Red Raiders defeated McHenry, 14-4, in six innings in a Fox Valley Conference game at Huntley High School.

After Huntley (11-4, 7-0 FVC) jumped out to a 3-0 lead behind RBI singles by Caitlin Brown, Sofia Tenuta and Autumn Kasal, McHenry looked as though it was going to limit the damage.

McHenry relief pitcher Alyssa Pearson retired the first two batters she faced and was set to face Huntley’s No. 9 hitter, Kendra Mitchell. Instead

Huntley has scored 25 runs on 29 hits in its past two games and has given up seven runs on 12 hits in those contests. of letting momentum shift to the Warriors, Mitchell delivered what turned out to be the game-winning hit, a tworun single.

“I just went up there looking to get

a hit and help out the team any way I could,” said Mitchell, who finished with four RBIs. “It really is amazing to be part of this lineup.”

Huntley added two more runs in the second before McHenry (5-8, 2-4) scored its first two runs in the third inning on a two-run homer by Mannon Amelio. Huntley, however, stole any momentum back in the bottom of the inning. Huntley senior Caitlin Brown hit her first home run of the season to put the lead back to seven.

“I really just wanted to make contact and see if I could move Tiffany (Giese) over, and I got a pitch I was able to drive,” Brown said. “They had the momentum and are a really good hitting team, so I was happy to help the team out.”

McHenry got the tying run to the on-deck circle in the sixth, but Giese picked up her biggest strikeout of the game to cancel any hopes of a Warrior rally. Huntley ended the game by scoring five runs in the bottom half of the

inning.

The Red Raiders were led by Brown, Mitchell, Rylie Porretto and Teagan O’Rilley, who each finished with three hits.

“We definitely have a target on our back and get each team’s best when we play them, so we need to execute as much as we can,” Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said. “We were able to do that again today with contributions up and down our entire lineup.”

McHenry was led by Amelio’s tworun homer. Victoria Boysen added two hits.

“We really showed our youth today,” McHenry coach John DiFrancesca said. “I was disappointed in our all-out play, and our lack of maturity really showed. It really was two games in one. There were times in the middle where I couldn’t have been prouder, but then there were times I didn’t like how we were playing. We are still trying to put together that seven-inning game.”

After producing 28 RBIs last season, Borst said his pitch selection has improved.

“I was way too aggressive,” he said.

“I was swinging at pitches that weren’t necessarily a strike. I understand the game a little better now.”

Borst credited his time spent in the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League with helping him improve.

“I saw 90-plus (mph) on a consistent basis every day,” he said. “It was the best pitching I’ve ever seen.”

Playing for a team with more than a dozen new pitchers and a first-year head coach, Michael Borst wasn’t sure what to make of the 2017 Minot State (North Dakota) University baseball team.

“You don’t know if it’s going to hit or miss,” said Borst, a sophomore for the Beavers and a McHenry West graduate. “But we have hit it on the spot.”

After finishing 10-33 Michael Borst a year ago, Minot State brought in head coach Scott Eul, who was the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at St. Cloud State, one of the top NCAA Division II teams in the country.

“He brought in guys from Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona and a bunch of Canadians,” Borst said. “He recruited all over the place. He brought in a younger, more energetic atmosphere.”

Eul’s energy has translated to the field. The Beavers are 21-13 and stand in fourth place in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference at 16-10. In a preseason poll of league coaches, Minot State was predicted to finish 14th in the 15-team league.

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Al Horford was making his feelings known.

Not just to a cameraman who was filming him as he walked off the United Center court toward the tunnel leading to the visiting locker room, either.

No, to anyone who would listen.

“Roadkill … roadkill,” the Boston big man yelled to Bulls fans awaiting his postgame stroll off the floor. “Down 2-1 now … we’re right back in it!”

Considering how bad the Bulls looked an “Alpha” down in Game 3, “right back in it” was a pretty accurate description.

Facing a must-win situation already down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series, Boston man-handled the Bulls on Friday, beating them, 104-87, and finally looking like a top seed playing a No. 8 seed.

And although it gave the Celtics new life, it sent the Bulls right back to the film room to figure out how to move forward without starting point guard Rajon Rondo.

“We’re not going to put this all on us missing Rondo,” veteran Dwyane Wade said, “because if that’s the case we might as well not show up anymore, because it looks like we’re going to be missing him for a while.’’

It was in the third quarter of Game 2 in which Rondo hurt his right thumb but continued playing in the eventual Bulls win, falling just a rebound shy of a triple-double.

The team found out late Thursday,

The Boston Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas drives past the Bulls’ Dwyane Wade as Michael Carter-Williams (left) watches during the second half in Game 3 of a first-round playoff series Friday at the United Center. The Celtics won, 104-87. however, that the thumb was actually fractured, and Rondo was ruled out “indefinitely.’’

Before that injury, the “Three Alphas’’ – the nickname Rondo gave Wade, Jimmy Butler and himself back in training camp – were causing fits for Boston, showing the Celtics what star power in the playoffs was all about.

Without Rondo, that left Jerian Grant in the starting lineup and Michael Carter-Williams as the backup point guard, with the two combining for eight points, three assists and seven turnovers.

It also led to a slower pace, less ball

movement, and Butler and Wade struggling to find good scoring opportunities on the floor, as the two combined to shoot 13 for 39 from the field.

Still, the Bulls were trying to say all the right things in the wake of the loss, hoping that Rondo’s injury won’t be leading to a collapse.

“You got a guy who has been in so many playoff series, been to the Finals, won a championship, you can’t replace that,” Wade said. “And our young guys will come in the next game and be better.

There’s now questions, however, if the Bulls are capable of that.

They definitely showed fight against the Celtics, falling behind 20 points early in the second quarter, and cutting that lead to just three by the half, but the Celtics played with urgency and a confidence not seen in the first two games, outscoring them 32-22 in the third to take back control. victory against Milwaukee School of Engineering.

Richter and the Spartans claimed the 100th victory in program history against MSOE. Aurora’s program is in its seventh season of existence.

This season, Aurora (13-1) is second in the nine-team Midwest Lacrosse Conference with a 5-0 league record.

Richter, a junior, has compiled 21 saves in nine games.

12 CUBS 6, REDS 5 (11 INN.)

Another come-from-behind thriller

By GORDON WITTENMYER

CUBS 6, REDS 5 (11 INN.)

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CINCINNATI – The top-seeded Blackhawks dominated in the first round of the NHL playoffs and eliminated in a four-game blink of an eye?

The lowly Bulls won the first two games against top-seeded Boston on the road in the NBA playoffs to take control of that first-round series?

What’s next? The Cincinnati Reds actually beating the juggernaut, defending-champion Cubs?

Not quite on this night.

But after beating the Reds in 18 of 22 meetings going back to 2015, the Cubs needed a two-out homer in the ninth and a run in the 11th to come from behind again to beat the supposedly rebuilding Reds, 6-5, on a rainy Friday night in Cincinnati.

Anthony Rizzo’s three-run line drive over the right-field wall against Michael Lorenzen with two out in the ninth tied a game the Cubs trailed since the fourth.

And Kris Bryant’s two-strike fly to shallow left in the 11th turned into the game-winning sacrifice fly when Albert Almora Jr. slid ahead of a wide throw to score the go-ahead run.

It was the third consecutive game the Cubs came back from deficits of at least three runs to beat an allegedly lesser opponent – second in a row in the ninth inning.

“We’ve been offensively teetering,”

The Cubs’ Albert Almora Jr. celebrates after scoring the go-ahead run past Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart in the 11th inning Friday in Cincinnati. manager Joe Maddon said. “We finally got the hits late again like we did the last couple days.”

They took over first place in the National League Central with a 9-7 record, but it looks nothing like the torrid start on the way to a 103-win season a year ago.

Forget the up-and-down start to their April and all the close games – Friday’s game was the 10th already this season decided by two or fewer runs.
