Where do good shirts go when they die?

It was time to say goodbye to my trusty longsleeved navy blue shirt that I wore around the house after work in the cooler months.

It definitely had seen better days, but it served me well, keeping me comfortable.

I’m not sure how long I had it, but I am guessing 10 years. I can’t remember a time without it. But it was showing its age.

The collar was tattered. The cuffs on the sleeves were hanging on by threads. It had a few holes in it. And maybe it was pride getting the better of me, but I couldn’t wear it in public anymore. It had gotten that bad.

It got through the winter of 2015-16 OK, but this past winter was too much. In fact, I had already taken steps to replace it, buying a new long-sleeved black shirt last winter to prepare myself for the inevitable. But I still kept the navy blue one in my wardrobe, wearing it regularly and ignoring its faults.

I develop a relationship with my clothing.

I’m not a clothes horse by any stretch of the imagination, but I know each article of clothing I have very well and when it should be worn, down to my socks and underwear. Everything clearly has a place and a day of the week.

I have clothes specifically for work and clothes specifically for lounging around home after work and on weekends, and the two of them are kept very separate. I wouldn’t think of wearing jeans to work on casual Fridays because jeans are after-work pants, and I know when I am in my jeans, I am not working. I don’t want to be confused or give off the wrong signals.

I changed jobs this year, and in the new job, I was issued a uniform to wear to work, and I was completely fine with that. It was comfortable, fit well, and everything about it said I was at work. In my previous job, I wasn’t issued a uniform, but I had what amounted to one, wearing the same color of shirts and pants all week long. I didn’t have to decide what to wear to work. It made life simple.

An imperfectly fine shirt is good enough for me. I expect to get a lot of wear out of my clothes, and I am willing to put up with imperfections. A little fraying is fine. But it had got-

VIEWS Dick Peterson ten to the point where the cuffs literally were hanging on by threads on my navy blue shirt.

If that isn’t a sign, what is? It had become too obvious that the shirt needed to be retired.

And by retired, I mean the shirt had to go in the garbage, destined for a landfill. We try to recycle as much as possible, and we’re pretty good at it. We don’t need one of those big garbage bins that you see alongside the streets on garbage collection day. Many people fill theirs up on a weekly basis.

We get individual stickers to put on garbage bags, and it usually takes us two weeks to fill a bag to put out on the curb on Wednesday nights.

I thought ever-so-briefly about turning the shirt into a chew toy for the Mutt Puppy by knotting it several times over. He likes to chew on most anything, and he occasionally will steal articles of clothing for his amusement. A knotted shirt would make a perfect chew and tug-ofwar toy for the Mutt Puppy, but it might send the wrong message to him that our clothing is fair play. So much for that idea.

So, one day I removed the navy blue shirt from the closet and draped it over a chair in the kitchen, unable to do the inevitable. After a day or two, my good wife noticed the shirt and held it up and asked what I was going to do with it.

I said it had seen better days, and I was willing to let go.

And she put it in the garbage without hesitation. She knew a long time ago that the shirt shouldn’t be worn, and she did what I couldn’t.

Decisive action. It’s for the best. I can move on now.

McHenry County municipalities work to fill vacant spaces to increase tax base

or more than a decade, the former Pauly Toyota building has sat vacant at 5501 Route 14 in Crystal Lake.

Next to it sits the former LeWalt Glass Co. building, which also has been vacant for about a decade, said Jack Minero, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway. The entire 3.2acre site is on the market for about $2.8 million, he said.

Throughout the years, the property along Crystal Lake’s most important commercial corridor has been the temporary home to the McHenry County Republican Central Committee and an auto body shop that rents out space behind the former Pauly Toyota show-

room on a monthly basis, according to Minero and the Northwest Herald archives.

Although businesses – such as a mattress store, pet hotel and gas station – have shown interest in the lot, the city ideally would have a high-end retailer fill the space, Minero and Crystal Lake economic development manager Heather Maieritsch said.

Throughout McHenry County, long-vacant buildings – including the Dominick’s in Lake in the Hills, Dania Furniture Co. building in Algonquin and Pauly Toyota site in Crystal Lake – remain challenging to fill. Local governments and brokers employ a variety of tactics to help market those spaces with varying degrees of success.

In Crystal Lake, Maieritsch said the city will create a vision plan for sites

It is absolutely front-of-mind to do anything that we can to get that Dominick’s store leased.”

the city is doing in the Crystal Point Mall Shopping Center, which used to be home to Wal-Mart and Cub Foods.

“We’re trying to help create some interest in the property and helping coming up with some additional ideas that are outside the box that you might normally think of,” Maieritsch said.

For example, with the Pauly ToyoGeorge Hahne, ta and LeWalt Glass sites, the city has Lake in the Hills suggested putting a restaurant there economic development coordinator because the property overlooks Three Oaks Recreation Area, Maieritsch said. that have been on the market for a long “We’re open to a wide variety of time.

Families celebrate Earth Day at Prairieview Education Center

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Mindy Greenlee walked around Prairieview Education Center on Saturday with the goal of having her 3-year-old daughter learn about protecting the environment at an early age.

“When I was younger, I was in this program called natural science that was all about Earth Day,” Greenlee said.

“We’d do volunteering, raised funds for it and protected our natural wildlife. So now I brought my daughter to learn about Earth Day and the environment, and she’s loving it.”

The Prairie Grove resident was just one of hundreds who visited the Crystal Lake center Saturday to celebrate Earth Day. The event was co-sponsored by the McHenry County Conservation District and the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County.

Several informational booths were set up throughout the day to educate people on topics such as wildlife, plants, recycling, solar energy, climate change and clean water.

“There’s such great organizations here, including the Land Conservancy of McHenry County and McHenry County Schools Environmental Education Program, to name a few, who are so dedicated to protecting the environment and getting others involved,” EDMC president Nancy Schietzelt said.

Cindy Skrukrud, chairwoman of the EDMC Water and Natural Resources Protection Committee, was at the celebration to talk about the committee’s main initiatives, including trying to pass a bill that would ban coal tar sealants in Illinois.

“These are sealants that are very high in a group of compounds that are known carcinogens and are toxic to aquatic life,” Skrukrud said. “When the sealant washes off into our lakes, creeks and rivers, it’s toxic to aquatic life. So I’m out here asking people to call their state representatives today to co-sponsor the bill (House Bill 2958).”

Another unique booth set up during the event was from the McHenry County Bicycle Advocates, which aims to improve nonmotorized transportation and recreation in the county.

“One of the things we are promoting is a petition for people to show their support when transportation plans are created, such as new roadways, to make sure they

Aside from the educational booths, the event was not short on entertainment.

The celebration featured food, music, guided nature hikes and a puppet show and other activities for children.

A recycling drive also was set up, where visitors could drop off unwanted

items such as electronics, fluorescent tubes, VHS tapes, CDs, cassettes and household batteries.

“This is such a great family-friendly event where we want to show people how to have a greener lifestyle and have a good time. We hope each year to get more people involved, and this year’s turnout seems great so far,” said Deb Chapman, MCCD education services manager.

This rendering shows a proposed three-story building with 60 senior apartments on Wentworth Drive south of Algonquin Road in Algonquin. Algonquin trustees approved the preliminary plans on Tuesday.

Concept for senior apartments OK’d

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A developer is looking to build a three-story building with 60 senior apartments on Wentworth Drive south of West Algonquin Road in Algonquin.

Trustees approved the preliminary concept that DKI Incorporated brought before the board for review, Algonquin Community Development Director Russ Farnum said.

“The big question was changing from business zoning to multifamily residential,” Farnum said. “So that clears the way for them to move for-

ward with executing a land contact and going through the planning and zoning process.”

The development would be expected to have about 70 residents, with an age restriction of 55 and older, according to preliminary plans. The apartments only would be only for independent living, documents show.

DKI also has worked on senior apartments near Village Hall in Lake in the Hills, documents show.

According to a memo from Farnum, the location is good for the project because it would not work well for retail use because of its shallow depth and distance from Algonquin Road.

Construction of apartments would provide infrastructure necessary to develop retail outlets to the north, the memo said.

Nearby homes are separated from the property by tall berms and landscaping, and the site is close to convenient services and is in a walkable location, according to a memo.

Trustees reviewed the concept at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting. The proposal eventually will come back before the Village Board after the developer makes a petition for zoning approval and goes through the zoning and planned unit development approval process, Farnum said.

Crystal Lake OKs balanced, smaller 2018 budget $89 million package spends 7 percent less

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – With little comment from city officials and none from the public, the City Council approved a balanced, and smaller, 2018 budget.

Council members voted, 5-0, to approve a budget that spends just less than $89.4 million, or a 7 percent decrease from this year’s budget expenses of $95.5 million. The new fiscal year for the city begins May 1.

Mayor Aaron Shepley commended city officials after closing a public hearing on the budget.

“City staff worked very diligently to present us with a balanced budget that is one of the better budgets I think

we’ve had in recent years,” Shepley said Tuesday.

The decrease in expenses comes several months after the City Council approved a levy that is expected to drop the city’s property tax rate by at least 5.2 percent by keeping the levy flat and capturing the city’s increasing assessed value.

Much of the $6.8 million decrease in spending in the 2018 budget comes from a decrease in capital spending because of completed projects, and a decrease in revenue sharing expenditures after several sales tax sharing agreements have come to an end.

The largest source of income for the city – 58 percent in next year’s budget – comes from sales and use taxes. The budget also anticipates small or modest growth in revenue from use tax, video gambling licenses and receipts from Three Oaks Recreation Area.

Unlike most other local municipalities, Crystal Lake city government

does not levy a property tax to finance its general fund, which pays for city administration, police protection, public works and several other expenses.

However, the city does levy property taxes to pay for the fire department, public library, and pensions for police officers, firefighters and rank-and-file city workers in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

The next budget eliminates another one and a half positions, bringing to almost 24 the number of full-time positions eliminated through attrition since the Great Recession hit a decade ago. None of the eliminated positions were sworn police officers or firefighters. More than 70 percent of general fund expenditures go to personnel services.

About 10 percent of a city homeowner’s property tax bill goes to fund city government. The majority by far – more than 60 percent – goes to Crystal Lake School Districts 47 and 155.

ALGONQUIN – Fire crews rescued four people on a pontoon boat that was stalled under the Route 62 bridge and heading toward the dam Friday night.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District was called at 6:30 p.m. for a report of a boat in distress that was nearing the low head dam on the Fox River at the Route 62 bridge.

First responding emergency personnel arrived at the scene within three minutes of the call and discovered the pontoon boat under the bridge.

According to a news release, the boat wasn’t working because of engine trouble and was drifting toward the low head dam aided by high water levels and a swift current.

Upon arrival, firefighters quickly dropped ropes to the boat and secured it in place until a fire district boat could rescue the occupants and tow them safely to a nearby pier, according to the release.

Although no one was injured in the incident, the rescue was considered to be extremely dangerous and required

Rotary Club of McHenry seeks sponsors for Blues, Brews & BBQ’s NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – Rotary Club of McHenry members are looking for sponsors for this summer’s Blues, Brews & BBQ’s event.

A number of ways to help exist, with everything from $100 Friends of Rotary sponsorships to an overall event naming-rights investment of $5,000, according to a news release.

“This is the club’s only major fundraising activity of the year,” said Don-

na Schaefer, who co-chairs the event with Don Tonyan. “Sponsors help defray the cost of running it, including paying the performers, paying the tent providers and other costs. That way, more of the money made at the gate makes its way back into the community.”

Blues, Brews & BBQ’s is scheduled Aug. 18 to 20 this year, so it will not compete with the McHenry County Fair – an aspect that is expected to enhance turnout beyond the 6,500 al-

ready routinely attending annually.

The fest takes place at Petersen Park, and the cost for tickets will be $10 at the gate, with discounted tickets available for those buying in advance.

The Rotary spends funds raised during Blues, Brews & BBQ’s on a number of causes, including everything from scholarships to area food and diaper bank support, global disaster relief efforts and direct grants to local agencies such as TLS Veterans and Public Action to Deliver Shelter

LOCAL BRIEF 30 years of providing free mental health Tickets available for NAMI McHenry County’s ‘Friend-Raiser’ services to McHenry County residents,” CRYSTAL LAKE – National Alliance on Mental Illness McHenry County still is looking to sell tickets to its inaugural “Friend-Raiser” in early May. The event will take place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. May 6 at Lakeside Arts Park, 401 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake.

The fundraiser will feature music, food, a silent auction and Erasing the Distance, a nonprofit arts organization based in Chicago that helps shed light on mental health issues through theater.

“NAMI McHenry County is celebrating

said Kathy Ross, executive director at NAMI McHenry County. “Last year, over 1,300 individuals and their families received support, education and advocacy services. Please purchase your tickets today and come celebrate with us.”

Tickets are $65 before May 6 and $75 at the door.

Tickets are available at www. eventbrite.com/e/nami-mchenry-countys-1st-annual-friend-raiser-tickets-31973398295#tickets.

– Northwest Herald

(PADS).

“Sponsoring Blues, Brews & BBQ’s is a great way to show you’re invested in your community, and to associate your business name with a fest that more and more people are really excited about attending,” Tonyan said.

Detailed sponsorship information is available at mrbbb.com. Those interested also are welcome to email Cynthia Wolf at cynthia@wolfwordsmithing.com or call her at 815-3885793.

First-time restaurateurs Jon and Breanna Descher of McHenry will operate Addison’s Steakhouse, 335 N. Front St., McHenry. The restaurant was named after their oldest daughter, Addison.

“It’s just me and my husband – we’re just a family-owned business,” Breanna Descher said. “This is our first venture starting out.”

“But even though we haven’t owned a restaurant before, we both have experience in the restaurant and bar industry,” Jon Descher said.

Addison’s menu items include burgers, salads, a 12-ounce New York strip steak, a 24-ounce porterhouse, salmon, lobster tails and other meals and sides.

It also offers a selection of craft beers and wines.

“Everything will be fresh; nothing is coming in frozen,” Jon Descher said.

“And our beef and pork will be locally sourced.”

108 Years in the Making

®

The design process for the rings started several months ago with over 30 different models created before the final draft was chosen. Each ring contains 108 diamonds surrounding the bezel, one for each year it took to get a World Series win, along with natural rubies and sapphires and more diamonds to create the Cubs logo. In total, there are 214 diamonds (5.5ct.), 33 rubies and 46 sapphires. That’s a pretty awesome memento if you ask me! In addition to all of the details on the outside of the ring, engraved on the inside is the time and date they won and the full series record. It even has the goat! I read that the players were very adamant on having the goat as part of their ring, symbolizing that the “curse” has finally been broken!

Most ball clubs hand out several hundred rings to not only their players and upper management, but to the announcers, some higher up staff, scouts, etc. But the Cubs went above and beyond, and are distributing 1,908 (coincidence?) Championship rings to a large majority of the staff at Wrigley Field, without whom their stadium would not run smoothly. How cool is that! But before you run out to go get a job at Wrigley this summer in hopes you’ll too receive one of those coveted 2017 rings (fingers-crossed!), just know that these rings are said to only be valued at $500 compared to the $70,000 that each of the player’s is valued at.

Championship rings have not always been the tradition for the winning team. In fact, it only became a league-wide custom in 1926, some 23 years after the first official World Series took place. Prior to that, ball clubs used to award their staff and players pocket watches, pins, cufflinks and tie clips among other things.

If you want to share in the victory of the Cubs and get a replica ring for yourself they are available on Josten’s website or you could show your love for the Cubs with an awesome piece right from Steffan’s. We have super cute pendants, charms and bracelets or you could even have something custom designed.

“We’re offering customers good food at affordable prices, and our customer service will be outstanding,” Breanna Descher said.

“When you walk in here, you’ll no-

tice the attention to detail we put into everything,” Jon Descher said. “Since we are small and family-owned, we want our customers to feel like they’re a part of the family, as well.”

The steakhouse is expected to have about 20 employees.

Addison’s hours will be from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant will be closed Mondays.

Breanna Descher said they are in the process of building a website for the steakhouse. In the meantime, the menu is on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

Addison’s Steakhouse will take reservations and walk-ins when it opens Tuesday.

Willard Sherman, the man with the trombone, was the leader of this orchestral band out of Woodstock. This photo, from the front of a turn-of-the-century postcard soliciting business, pitches the group’s credentials: “We furnish high-grade music for concerts, receptions, weddings, bazaars, etc. When you want the best, address Sherman’s Orchestra, Woodstock, Illinois.” Community music groups, as well as traveling orchestras, were popular in the days when gramophones were too expensive for many. Dance and concert halls, as well as “opera houses,” could be found in almost all communities of any size, including Woodstock or Marengo. Willard Sherman, a son of William and Elizabeth Sherman, was born in 1876 in Woodstock. He was a long-term employee of a typewriter factory. Sherman played for years in the Woodstock City Band and his home at 216 South St. was filled with the sound of music. A member of the Woodstock Fire Department for more than 50 years, Sherman died Feb. 16, 1970. He is buried in Woodstock’s Oakland Cemetery with his wife, Mary Ellis, who died in 1939.

Premier Commercial Realty senior broker Bruce Kaplan waits for a client Wednesday before showing a vacant industrial building in Crystal Lake.

Huntley doesn’t have many vacant retail spaces, Billimack and Johnson said, so the challenge is finding developers who are willing to build.

A retail consultant is worth investing in because retail stores and restaurants are what residents want, Johnson said.

“The approach we’re trying right now, time will tell whether it will be successful,” Johnson said.

Real Estate in Crystal Lake as a retail consultant to help bring in retail businesses and restaurants. Billimack is paid $3,000 a month for his six-month contract that started in January, according to village documents.

Billimack was hired by the village because of his history working in the village and his well-established roots in the industry, Huntley Village Manager Dave Johnson said.

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

In addition to sending out information on Crystal Lake’s open properties, the city also has a searchable database of properties at crystallakeretail.com/ cocl/index.php, Maieritsch said.

In Lake in the Hills, one of the village’s main priorities is filling the former Dominick’s building at Randall and Algonquin roads, economic development coordinator George Hahne said.

The estimated 70,000-square-foot building has been vacant since 2014.

Farm, ranch and home retail chain Big R had planned to move in but backed out in August.

“It is absolutely front-of-mind to do anything that we can to get that Dominick’s store leased,” Hahne said.

Hahne said that there are challenges with the property that are making it hard to find a tenant, but he works to reach out to as many potential tenants as possible to fill the space.

Although the Dominick’s sits empty in the village, other spots in smaller strip malls have been doing well, Hahne said, noting the recent openings of Morningside Family Dental and Rock N Grill on Randall Road.

In Huntley, the village hired Tim Billimack of Blue Chip Commercial

One challenge in attracting retail businesses is the evolving retail industry, Johnson said. National retailers such as Gander Mountain, hhgregg and Family Christian have announced closings this year.

The Gander Mountain and Family Christian stores in Algonquin soon will be empty, but the former Dania Furniture building off Randall Road is one of Algonquin’s focuses now, community development director Russ Farnum said.

The 30,000-square-foot building has been closed for about two years, he said.

Typically, the village works to stay in contact with brokers to spread information on available properties, Farnum said.

“We let [the brokers] make the deal; what we want to do is put the right people in the right place,” Farnum said, adding that finding the right space for the business ensures they stay put longer.

The village is looking at how the decline of brick-and-mortar retail facilities may affect its approach to attracting businesses, Farnum said, but right now the top priority is to generate sales tax.

“Every dollar we have in sales tax is a dollar we don’t have to collect in property taxes to keep the village running and functioning,” Farnum said.

He was born and raised in Woodstock, IL. Steve received his BS from Southern Illinois University, his MBA from Northern Montana College, and his administrative degree from University of Phoenix. His love of sports was evident early as he was a high school star, played at SIU and coached basketball for 28 years. When it came to coaching, Steve was one of the best in the business, landing him Coach of the Year 1999.

He taught drivers ed, PE and counseled high school students in IL, MT, FL and CO. Before his retirement in 2010, he was athletic direc-

tor and assistant principal at Arvada High. He loved to laugh and tell stories, you could bet that 50% of every story was true, you just didn’t know which 50!

Father, Husband and Papa, he was the life of the party wherever he went. He was many things to many people.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Mona and George Wilson of Woodstock, IL. He is survived by his wife, Bette of 42 years; two children, Autumn Nashold (Jason) and Blair Wilson (Tara); five grandchildren, many friends (he never met a stranger) and countless former students and players.

Sanctuary cities face loss of federal grants

By SADIE GURMAN

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks as Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly listens after the pair toured the ports of entry and met Thursday with Department of Justice and DHS personnel in El Paso, Texas.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration intensified its threats to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to comply with federal immigration authorities, warning nine jurisdictions Friday that they may lose coveted law enforcement grant money unless they document cooperation.

It sent letters to officials in California and major cities including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and New Orleans, all places the Justice Department’s inspector general has identified as limiting the information local law enforcement can provide to federal immigration authorities about those in their custody.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has warned that the administration will punish communities that refuse to cooperate with efforts to find and deport immigrants in the country illegally. But some of the localities remained defiant, despite risking the loss of funds that police agencies use to pay for everything from body cameras to bulletproof vests.

“We’re not going to cave to these threats,” Milwaukee County Supervisor Marina Dimitrijevic said, promising a legal fight if the money is pulled.

Chicago law firms cultivate cannabis-specific practices

CHICAGO – Law firms throughout Chicago, from national firms to solo operations, are carving out cannabis practices as marijuana use gains acceptance.

Firms are increasingly offering to help companies navigate the highly regulated world of medical marijuana in Illinois and elsewhere, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The stigma surrounding the federally illegal drug has barred some firms from advertising their cannabis practices.

Dina Rollman and Bryna Dahlin formed a firm in January 2016 to focus on the cannabis industry. The firm counsels companies that grow and sell marijuana as well as businesses that intersect with the industry, from vaporizer manufacturers to advertising agencies.

ments that sanctuary cities undermine the fight against gangs, the Justice Department said the communities under financial threat are “crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime.”

After a raid led to the arrests of 11 MS-13 gang members in California’s Bay Area “city officials seemed more concerned with reassuring illegal immigrants that the raid was unrelated to immigration than with warning other MS-13 members that they were next,” the department said in a statement.

The federal law in question says state and local governments may not prohibit police or sheriffs from sharing information about a person’s immigration status with federal authorities.

The money could be withheld in the future, or terminated, if local officials fail to prove they are following the law, wrote Alan R. Hanson, acting head of the Office of Justice Programs. The grant program is the leading source of federal justice funding to states and local communities.

Illinois receives $16M to fight opioid addiction

CHICAGO – Illinois is receiving more than $16 million in federal money to help fight a prescription drug addiction crisis.

Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth announced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grants.

The money will go toward prevention, treatment and recovery services.

Duckworth said the money “will go a long way toward ending the opioid epidemic.” Durbin said it’s a crisis that affects every community in Illinois, from urban to suburban and rural.

Nationwide, more than 33,000 deaths from opioid-related overdoses were reported in 2015. In Illinois more than 1,835 died in 2015. That’s a 16 percent

Woman who embezzled from Field Museum gets prison

CHICAGO – An ex-employee of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History who authorities said stole nearly $1 million from the institution has been sentenced to three years in federal prison.

The Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times reported that Caryn Benson was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang. He says the theft was a serious offense and abuse of the public trust.

Benson declined Chang’s offer to make a statement.

Chang ordered Benson to reimburse the $906,000 authorities said she took over a six-year period. Benson pleaded guilty last year to embezzlement, but her lawyer said Benson stole less than half that amount.

Kelly threatened additional consequences for local police that don’t deliver people in custody, saying the alternative is immigration agents searching neighborhoods.

“Ideally the best place for us to pick up these illegal criminals is in jails and prisons,” Kelly said at a news conference with Sessions in San Diego, next to a border fence topped with razor wire. “If they don’t do that, then we have to go into neighborhoods. We have to go into courthouses. We have to go wherever we can find them and apprehend them.”

Kevin de Leon, leader of California’s state Senate, rejected the administration’s demand, saying its policies are based on “principles of white supremacy” and not American values.

“Their constant and systematic targeting of diverse cities and states goes beyond constitutional norms and will be challenged at every level,” he said.

Leaders in Chicago and Cook County, which shared a grant of more than $2.3 million in 2016, dismissed the threat. So did the mayor’s office in New York City, which received $4.3 million.

The Justice Department singled out Chicago’s rise in homicides and said New York’s gang killings were the “predictable consequence of the city’s soft-on-crime stance.”

Prosecutors said she used the money to buy expensive clothing, watches, handbags and luxury cars.

Benson worked at the museum from 2003 to 2014, when the thefts were discovered.

Florida trucker fatally shot on highway near Chicago

OAK BROOK – Authorities said investigators are trying to determine what led up to a Florida truck driver being fatally shot while driving on a highway just outside Chicago.

Illinois State Police said 43-year-old Eduardo Munoz of Sunrise, Florida, was shot about 4 p.m. Friday on Interstate 88 in Oak Brook.

Police said someone in another vehicle shot at the truck, hitting Munoz. He was able to stop the semitrailer on the highway’s shoulder and he was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Police said investigators didn’t immediately know what prompted the shooting and no arrests were announced.

Health care quagmire awaits Congress’ return

By ANDREW TAYLOR and ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Lawmakers returning to Washington this coming week will find a familiar quagmire on health care legislation and a budget deadline dramatized by the prospect of a protracted battle between President Donald Trump and Democrats over his border wall.

Trump’s GOP allies control Congress, but they’ve been unable to send him a single major bill as his presidency faces the symbolic 100-day mark April 29 – the very day when the government, in a worst-case scenario, could shut down.

Feeling pressure to deliver results, Trump wants to revive a troubled health care measure from House Republicans to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Trump also hopes to use a $1 trillion catchall spending bill to salvage victories on his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall, a multibillion-dollar down payment on a Pentagon buildup, and perhaps a crackdown on cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement by federal authorities.

Congress faces a midnight Friday deadline to avert a government shutdown. But negotiations on the spending measure, a huge pile of leftover business from last year that includes the budgets of almost every federal agency, have hit a rough patch.

Rank-and-file Republicans received few answers on a Saturday conference call by top House GOP leaders, who offered little detail and said deals remained elusive on both health care and the catchall spending measure, with no votes scheduled yet.

It’s looking like a one- or two-week temporary measure will be needed to prevent a shutdown and buy time for more talks. Negotiations have faltered because of disputes over the border wall and health law subsidies to help low-income people afford health insurance.

Trump’s Capitol Hill allies had been tempering expectations that the president will win much in the budget talks. Democratic support will be needed to pass the spending measure, and Republicans fear taking the blame if the government shuts down on their watch.

“We have the leverage and they have the exposure,” House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California told fellow Democrats on a conference call Thursday, according to a senior Democratic aide.

Pelosi wants the spending bill to give the cash-strapped government of Puerto Rico help with its Medicaid obligations, and Democrats are pressing for money for overseas famine relief, treatment for opioid abuse, and the extension of health benefits for 22,000 retired Appalachian coal miners and their families.

An additional Democratic demand is for cost-sharing payments to insurance companies that help low-income people afford health policies under Obama’s health law. The payments are a critical subsidy and the subject of a lawsuit by House Republicans. Trump has threatened to withhold the money to force Democrats to negotiate on health legislation.

Trump’s presidential victory makes it “completely reasonable to ask and to insist that some of his priorities are funded,” White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said in an interview. “We are more than happy to talk to the Democrats about some of their priorities but we encourage them to recognize that they are a minority party.”

Both the White House and Democrats have adopted hard-line positions on Trump’s $1 billion request for a down payment on construction of the border wall, a central plank of last year’s campaign. Talk of forcing Mexico to pay for it has largely been abandoned. But in an interview Friday, Trump stopped short of demanding that money for the project be included in the must-pass spending bill.

Rallies across globe show support for science People hold signs of pioneering women in science Saturday in front the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during the March for Science in Washington, D.C.

By SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The world saw brain power take a different form Saturday.

From the Washington Monument to Germany’s Brandenburg Gate and even to Greenland, scientists, students and research advocates rallied on an often soggy Earth Day, conveying a global message about scientific freedom without political interference, the need for adequate spending for future breakthroughs and just the general value of scientific pursuits.

They came in numbers that were mammoth if not quite astronomical.

“We didn’t choose to be in this battle, but it has come to the point where we have to fight because the stakes are too great,” said Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann, who regularly clashes with politicians.

President Donald Trump, in an Earth Day statement hours after the marches kicked off, said that “rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate.”

Denis Hayes, who co-organized the first Earth Day 47 years ago, said the crowd he saw from the speaker’s platform down the street from the White

House was energized and “magical” in a rare way, similar to what he saw in the first Earth Day. “For this kind of weather, this is an amazing crowd. You’re not out there today unless you really care. This is not a walk in the park event,” Hayes said of the event in the park.

Mann said that like other scientists, he would rather be in his lab, the field or teaching students. But driving his advocacy are officials who deny his research that shows rising global temperatures.

When he went on stage, he got the biggest applause for his simple opening: “I

am a climate scientist.”

In Los Angeles, Danny Leserman, the 26-year-old director of digital media for the county’s Democratic Party, said: “We used to look up to intelligence and aspire to learn more and do more with that intellectual curiosity. And we’ve gone from there to a society where ... our officials and representatives belittle science and they belittle intelligence. And we really need a culture change.”

The rallies in more than 600 cities put scientists, who generally shy away from advocacy and whose work depends on objective experimentation, into a more

public position.

Scientists said they were anxious about political and public rejection of established science, such as climate change and the safety of vaccine immunizations.

“Scientists find it appalling that evidence has been crowded out by ideological assertions,” said Rush Holt, a former physicist and Democratic congressman who runs the American Association for the Advancement of Science. “It is not just about Donald Trump, but there is also no question that marchers are saying, ‘When the shoe fits.’ ” Despite saying the march was not partisan, Holt acknowledged it was only dreamed up at the Women’s March on Washington, a day after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.

But the rallies were also about what science does for the world.

“Most people don’t know how much funding for the sciences supports them in their lives every day. Every medical breakthrough, their food, clothing, our cellphones, our computers, all that is science-based,” said Pati Vitt, a plant scientist at the Chicago Botanic Garden. “So if we stop funding scientific discoveries now, in 10 years, whatever we might have had won’t be; we just won’t have it.”

NEW YORK – Another day, another cellphone video of a conflict on an airplane.

American Airlines said it grounded a flight attendant who got into a verbal confrontation with a passenger on a Friday flight from San Francisco to Dallas-Fort Worth.

Spokeswoman Leslie Scott says the airline is looking into whether the male flight attendant violently took away a stroller from the female passenger just before she boarded a Friday flight from San Francisco to Dallas. He has been removed from duty in the meantime.

In an age of cellphone videos and social media, airlines are learning the hard way that it is essential to de-escalate tense situations that occur during air travel, even as there are more pas-

sengers, less room and fewer flight attendants than ever before.

The incident comes less than two weeks after video of a man being violently dragged off a United Express flight sparked widespread outrage.

United initially blamed its passenger, Dr. David Dao, before finally apologizing days after the incident, fanning the public’s fury. American, by contrast, seems to have learned from United’s mistakes: it immediately said it was sorry, that it had grounded the flight attendant while it investigates the incident, and that it had upgraded the passenger involved and her family to first class.

“American doesn’t want to become the next United, but then, United didn’t want to become the next United,” said Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst at Atmosphere Research Group.

“No airline wants to be seen as being

anti-consumer or anti-passenger.”

Smartphone cameras and social media are shifting power to consumers who can share customer relations gaffes with the world. They’re increasingly making confrontations with customer-facing staff headline news, making it harder for companies to sweep complaints under the rug. The faster companies own up to mistakes, the quicker they can start to do damage control.

American’s fast reaction to the incident could be helpful, said brand consultant Allen Adamson, CEO of BrandSimple.

“The quick reaction will prevent it from escalating further, but it won’t mitigate the perception among flyers that flying is becoming a less enjoyable experience every day,” he said.

Overall, airlines must start to put more of an emphasis on customer service, he said.

“It’s another example of airlines struggling to treat their passengers with the traditional ‘customer is always right’ attitude,” he said. “Good customer service is finding a way to de-escalate a situation and he (the flight attendant) was throwing gasoline on it.”

Days after Dao was dragged off the United Express flight from Chicago to Kentucky to make room for airline crew, his lawyer spent a good part of a news conference railing against what he said was the industrywide shabby treatment of airline passengers. Dao lost teeth, suffered a broken nose and suffered a concussion in the incident, which also was captured on video.

In the case of the American flight on Friday, a video that passenger Surain Adyanthaya posted on Facebook shows the sobbing woman holding a small child and saying, “You can’t use violence with baby.”

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Neftali Thomas Diaz swears he’s done with Rikers Island.

After being locked up twice at the notorious New York City jail for stealing a credit card and violating parole, Diaz entered a private jobs program.

Once he’s back on his feet with a paycheck, Diaz said, “I know I’m not ever going back there – ever.”

New York City is betting that Diaz and other low-level offenders like him are right about the salvation in second-chance employment.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city will spend $10 million a year on a “jails to jobs” initiative that will guarantee all Rikers inmates serving sentences of a year or less a chance at short-term employment once they do their time.

The jobs will last up to eight weeks, with hourly wages covered by taxpayer money rather than coming out of the pocket of the employers.

The program, expected to be in place by the end of the year, is part of a broader effort to drive down the city’s inmate population to the point where the city could build new, smaller jails to replace Rikers. The shutdown of one of the nation’s largest jails could take years, so the mayor is pitching shorter-term remedies to ease the chronic violence and corruption at the sprawling facility.

Supporters have said transitional jobs – kitchen, construction and other mostly menial work paying minimum wage – are a good investment because research shows that inmates who get

The economics make it “in everyone’s interest to do this because otherwise they pay in the end,” said supporter Martin Horn, a Department of Correction commissioner under former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

But the plan has come under fire by critics that include another former city jails boss, Bernard Kerik, who served his own prison term for tax fraud and lying to the White House during his vetting process for Homeland Security secretary. He said any new spend-

ing on rehabilitation should go to existing behind-bars programs offering high school educations and vocational training.

The jobs plan is “like giving money away” and “a feel-good approach that does nothing to fix the problem,” Kerik said.

Another vocal opponent, former police detective and mayoral candidate Bo Dietl, puts it even more bluntly: “Why should we be rewarding people who commit crimes? I don’t get that.”

At the Fortune Society – one of the social service nonprofits expected to partner with the city on the plan and a sponsor of Diaz – the mission is prov-

ing the critics wrong by training former state prison and jail inmates on how to land and keep jobs. Part of the focus is on winning the trust of employers who risk hiring criminals trying to go straight, said Stanley Richards, an ex-convict who serves as the organization’s executive vice president.

“It can be a tough sell,” Richards said.

“We’re dealing with stereotypes of the formerly incarcerated. So what we’re saying to employers is, ‘We’re concerned about your business, because we’re helping to build new lives.’ ” Though the Fortune Society sees some clients drop out and drift away, many manage to break out the cycle of recidivism. Some have held down steady employment at a large commercial kitchen in Queens shared by caterers and bakers.

“In the food industry, they want to know if you can cut 50 potatoes in five minutes, not whether you served time,” said Seth Bornstein, who runs the facility as part of the Queens Economic Development Corporation. “A few of them are less reliable than others, but no more than the general population.”

The 28-year-old Diaz is on his third strike. After serving time for his initial 2014 arrest, he violated his parole and was sent back to Rikers for another three months before being released again on May 17. So he said he understands “why people would say, ‘He had his chance and he blew it.’ ” But, after confronting drug and emotional problems, he insists he’s ready to “have my mind occupied with something productive.”

OUR VIEW

Earth’s climate is bigger than politics

Sometimes, campaign rhetoric is one thing, but the reality of governing muddies the simplicity of the message. That’s not always a bad thing.

President Donald Trump was elected after tapping into a sea of anger and some of his views, some of which were considered extreme by establishment standards, resonated with voters. That’s politics, and while Trump certainly was a unique candidate in U.S. history, he wasn’t the first to tap populist sentiment effectively.

As the political pendulum swung mightily, many groups that enjoyed advocacy under the Barack Obama administration became rightly worried about what they had gained. Count environmentalists at the top of that list of those concerned.

Environmentalist concerns certainly weren’t eased by Trump’s selection of Scott Pruitt as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition to being known for his fights against the EPA, Pruitt says he is not convinced that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

On this Earth Day weekend, Pruitt’s position, a view not shared by several other members of the Trump administration, is a troubling one.

But less than 100 days into his term, Trump has shown signs of pragmatism that shifts from his 2016 campaign rhetoric. For example, he no longer considers NATO “obsolete,” no longer considers China a currency manipulator, obviously has taken action in Syria and, most notably, as it relates to Earth Day, there is disagreement within his administration on whether to cancel the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which he promised to cancel during his campaign. Taking a hard look at whether there is over-regulation within the EPA is fine – it’s the federal government, there likely are issues. Taking unneeded burdens away from businesses is reasonable and subject to healthy political debate.

What is non-negotiable and should be a global moral issue and much more than a political one is the future of the planet that already has been greatly affected by climate change. We’re hoping the cooler heads within the Trump administration will prevail.

Climate change is too important to just be another political issue. There are real implications that have impact far beyond U.S. borders and as a global leader we have a responsibility to also lead on this issue.

We’d also urge our area congressional representatives, Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, and Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, to listen to their constituents’ concerns on the environment and vote accordingly. Further destruction of the environment is not a fundamental conservative cause or position, nor should it be.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

A lot riding on Britain’s snap elections British Prime Minister Theresa May’s decision to hold early elections in June, reversing what had been a firm public position, surely reflects her recognition that Britain’s exit from the European Union will be far more complicated and painful than voters were promised when they supported it in a referendum last year.

The “leave” campaign promised that migration from the other 27 EU countries would be curtailed and the jurisdiction of EU bureaucrats and the European Court of Justice abolished, without damage to an economy that is heavily dependent on free trade with Europe. In fact, as May has begun to acknowledge, regaining control of Britain’s borders will mean a costly exit from the common market. In addition, Brussels could hand Britain a bill for tens of billions of dollars in residual payments, and a new trade deal could take years to negotiate.

By 2020, when the election would have been held under the usual schedule, Britons are likely to be suffering the heavy costs of a decision that so far has not had

much practical impact. A vote now could extend the term of May and the Conservatives to 2022, giving them more time to manage the fallout. More importantly, it is likely to substantially increase the government’s small, 17-seat majority in the 650-member House of Commons, thanks to the abysmal state of the opposition Labour Party.

Unfortunately, the election will strand many of the 48 percent of voters who opposed and, according to opinion polls, still oppose Brexit. Under far-left leader Jeremy Corbyn, Labour is weakly ambivalent on the issue. The small Liberal Democratic Party has taken a firm stand against leaving the union, but while it is expected to gain seats, for now it is polling at around 10 percent and appears unlikely to stop a Conservative landslide.

For May, who replaced David Cameron nine months ago and has not yet won her own election, the most important question may be not the size of her margin over Labour, but the composition of the new Conservative parliamentary group. To succeed in negotiations

with EU leaders she will need the flexibility to overrule party hard-liners who will oppose any concession on borders and regulation; that would be difficult in the current Parliament. A more moderate majority will be essential to deals preserving British access to the European market in key areas, such as finance and auto manufacturing, without which the economy could be severely damaged.

For now, May remains carefully vague about the terms of an exit agreement.

Apart from saying in a January speech that control over migration and escape from the European Court of Justice were priorities, and a departure from the single market and customs union a consequence, the prime minister has been unclear on a range of issues, such as whether Britain will consent to pay the huge exit bill that some EU officials say it will owe. No doubt she will be pressed during the campaign to tell her supporters more clearly what they are voting for; but for the same reasons she decided to call an election, May will likely demur.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Thanks to highway adopters

To the Editor: In honor of National Volunteer Week, I wanted to write a note of thanks, honoring all of the wonderful people, businesses and organizations that help the McHenry County Division of Transportation keep our county’s roads and bridges in such fine shape. Simply put, we could not do what we do without them!

The county has 159 volunteers/groups working through our Adopt-a-Highway program cleaning 168 miles of county-owned roads.

Since we are able to dedicate MCDOT crews to roads that haven’t yet been adopted or other duties, these volunteers annually save McHenry County’s taxpayers an average of $500,000.

Besides making our communities more beautiful places to live, adopting a county highway can directly benefit your company or organization, or help memorialize a loved one who has passed away. In today’s edition, you will see an advertisement thanking each organization

that volunteers to care for one of our county’s roads. After a section of road is adopted, an individualized sign, fabricated in MCDOT’s sign shop, is placed on each side of that section for every motorist who drives by to see.

This is a powerful brand and awareness building tool with local customers, donors or constituents.

Thank you again to all of the amazing volunteers who help us every day! If you would like to learn more about adopting a section of a McHenry County road, give our Adopt-A-Highway coordinator a call at 815-334-4970.

Senseless attacks must cease

To the Editor: I totally agree with Kevin Lyons’ piece “Malicious online commenters breed in the dark”. I’ve been monitoring the activity of local “McHenry County Blog” for sometime. While its moderator claims

Online, we were labeled as criminals - or worse. They posted our pictures, links to personal social media, even our home addresses. Our community of food runners, hosts, bussers, waiters, customers, artists we display, bands that performed, my godchildren, surrounding businesses and my mother all were harassed by self-proclaimed “investigators.”

After Welch surrendered to the D.C. police with a declaration that “the intel on this wasn’t 100 percent,” we thought truth would prevail. But some online trolls labeled the incident a “false flag,” insisting Welch had been hired by Clinton to distract from her crimes. A few weeks ago, when my best friend and former partner suffered a heart attack, these same trolls said it was retribution.

Jones attempted to apologize with a belated and half-hearted retraction, but the online community of “investigators” labeled Jones a shill. Unsurprisingly, Jones’ platform, InfoWars, continues to broadcast lies about me and Comet.

Ten years ago, we opened Comet to be a place for people to gather, eat, drink and play. And I sometimes wondered what would happen if something bad happened to us. Where would my community be?

I now know where they are.

They are seating the guests, tending the bar, playing ping-pong with their

families. They are eating our pizza, drinking a beer and catching up with their neighbors. They are sending notes saying, “Have a drink on me,” or “Keep your doors open, do not let fake news win.”

This is our community.

Hours after the gunman was arrested, they called to ask if they could come for dinner. “We’re closed,” I said.

“Crime scene.” Their response? “OK, we’ll come tomorrow.”

They came out in droves when we reopened. And then, two months later, on inauguration weekend, demonstrators came to Comet with signs reading “GOT AIDS YET?” and a megaphone to call me a “faggot” and “pedophile” and our neighborhood Sodom and Gomorrah.

Our community peacefully walked out of Comet to confront the protesters.

And by the light of our vintage neon sign and the flashing of the arriving police cars, my staff, our neighbors, our community, pointed the restaurant’s speakers toward the hate, turned the volume as high as it would go, blasted Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and danced the bigots away.

Responsibility, community, love, family, truth and ping-pong. The best ingredients still make the best pizza every time.

the mission of this blog to be a means to “encourage public participation in the governmental process,” the discussions often fall short of this statement.

Instead of fostering a civil exchange of ideas, it has turned into a fringe community of commenters who use their anonymity to cowardly attack immigrants, minorities, union members and public employees.

Recently, these senseless attacks hit a new low with posts of death threats to Jack Franks, our Democratically elected County Board president, and only Democrat on the 24-member body. This

goes against the values of the people of McHenry County.

Our Constitution grants us freedom of speech. However, it is essential to remember that we are called to be responsible in our exercise of that right.

Since the blog moderator does little to keep a minimum standard of civility, I urge the public to reject this hateful rhetoric and to those business owners advertising on the blog to distance themselves by cutting all financial support.

The recipe for pizza is simple: flour, water, yeast, salt, time, tomato, cheese and heat. But the Internet has a way of taking the simplest ingredients and making a huge mess.

I learned this the hard way.

I own the pizza shop Comet Ping Pong. It’s in a residential section of Washington, D.C., that feels like smalltown America. On the same block as my restaurant, you’ll find a market, a beloved bookstore, a paint store, a firehouse, a gas station. We know our customers, and we know each other.

Sadly, many people who don’t know me or my neighborhood cling to an absurd lie: that I and political figures including Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, run a child-slavery ring out of Comet’s basement.

Last month, one of those people, Edgar Maddison Welch, pleaded guilty to local and federal charges stemming from the day last year when he showed up at my pizza shop wielding an assault rifle and a .38-caliber handgun.

He was following calls by conspiracy theorists for a “self-investigation” of the concocted sex ring.

What he discovered was happy families eating lunch. While my brave staff swiftly evacuated customers,

Welch walked through the building undeterred, shot a computer closet, then laid down his weapons and surrendered to the police in the middle of Connecticut Avenue. He will remain in prison for years.

I’m often asked how this happened.

It started in October when WikiLeaks released Podesta’s hacked emails. Podesta and his brother, Tony, are Comet fans, and in these emails I was invited to cook for a Clinton fund raiser.

Anti-Clinton conspiracy theorists and online trolls congregating on Reddit and 4chan, decided that the words “pizza” and “cheese” in these emails were code for pedophilia.

They ultimately pushed the lie that my pizza restaurant was being used to abduct children and commit heinous crimes. These lies ricocheted from shadowy chat rooms to various social-media platforms, encouraged by fake news articles and deliberately amplified by provocateurs such as Alex Jones, who broadcast these smears to his audience of millions.

Suddenly, the lives of everyone in Comet’s orbit were thrown into chaos.

I was inundated with death threats, sometimes many a day. Comet’s Facebook and Yelp pages were flooded with obscene “reviews.” The restaurant’s phone rang off the hook, with people calling and screaming at the hosts.

First, we answered only local area codes, then unplugged the phones.

BUSINESS County could be attractive destination for Millennials We hear a lot about Millennials these days and for good reason.

According to a recent report released from the Pew Research Foundation, Millennials (age 18-34) surpassed Baby Boomers (age 51-69) in 2016 as the largest living generation in the United States with a total population of 75.4 million people.

You may have heard that the Millennial generation was flocking to the cities wanting the convenience of city living. But the pendulum is now beginning to swing back to the suburbs. It seems that as they get married and start “settling down,” Millennials want to trade the urban lifestyle they once so readily embraced for a more balanced quality of life in the suburbs. Most adults of this generation have fond memories of family life in smaller towns and cities and want their own children to have that same experience. They also want to keep the conveniences they have come to enjoy living in urban areas. In short, Millennials are looking for the best of both worlds.

So what does this mean for McHenry County? It means opportunity.

McHenry County can take advantage of the desire of Millennials to live in Chicago-style “neighborhoods” by boasting about Woodstock, Crystal Lake, McHenry, Algonquin – any of our 30 unique municipalities. Each of these “neigh-

MCEDC NEWS Pamela Cumpata borhoods” have the coffee shops, restaurants, community activities desired by Millennials as they create their family and find their work life balance.

Back in 2014, Forbes identified Chicago as the fourth best city for Millennials. At that time, it estimated 14 percent of Chicago’s population was age 25 to 34. This means the potential to attract a new generation of families to our area is huge. This generation is all about quality of life.

They want good schools for their children, safe neighborhoods and good jobs. Many in this generation want a work-from-home option as they struggle to maintain work-life balance or a community workplace and meeting space for small businesses, entrepreneurs, virtual employees and corporate teams. They are looking for solid technology infrastructure and good public transportation and will happily trade a commute in the car for a commute by train or bicycle.

McHenry County is fortunate to have solid Metra service and governments who have worked to improve bike access. Locally owned business-

es can expect a great deal of support from this generation and should work on attracting talent in this age bracket. Restaurants, farmer’s markets, bars, local artists and coffee shops in our muni’s also will benefit as Millennials seek out unique and fun places to unwind after a long week.

One area this group struggles with, however, is home ownership.

They look at owning their own home as the ultimate symbol of “The American Dream.” With housing inventory in short supply in our county, and interest rates still low, those who can buy are helping to reinvigorate a rebounding housing market which is good news for our local real estate marketing. However, many Millennials have been dealing with huge amounts of student loan debt which has prevented them from being able to save money to any great degree. While this is certain to improve over time as they advance in their careers, for now, these families need single-family home rental options or multi-family housing in greater numbers than we have seen in the past. To keep the convenience of urban life, housing that is located near our downtown areas where they can easily access local businesses and trains is desired.

Just like the Baby Boomers before them, Millennials are going

to change the landscape of America.

MCEDC is working with our partners to market McHenry County and its assets to attract not just business but also the workforce needed to sustain and grow our businesses.

Millennials have the potential to help McHenry County win big in the years to come as they start families and bring their spending power, talent, volunteerism and philanthropy from Chicago and other cities to McHenry County. MCEDC is engaged in developing strategies to reach out to this next generation and urge employers to review their growth and recruitment strategies to find ways to attract this next generation to McHenry County – we do have the best of the two lifestyles they seek.

Are you ready for the Millennials?

Our kick off to the 2017 “Enhancing Excellence” breakfast speaker series will be covering this very topic and much more! Join us from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. May 18 at Crystal Lake Country Club, 721 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake. Reservations are required.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey works at a college near our home.

I would get free tuition, but there’s another college farther from home that I like just as much – but it’s more expensive. On the plus side, it is a Christian school, and my faith is important to me. What do you think I should do? – Braden Dear Braden: Free tuition is a major plus in my book. At the same time, I can understand your desire to get out from under mom and dad’s wings a little bit. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking that a school, church or anything else is completely Christian. You’ll meet some of the wildest characters ever at a Christian school, just like you would at a public university. However, you would have the advantage of a built-in spiritual support network.

All things considered, and since you mentioned your faith specifically, I’d probably choose the Christian school. But I wouldn’t go into debt to make it happen. There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t work and go to school at the same time. Pay it as you go. I did it, and I finished with good grades in four years. It’s a little bit harder way to go, but it’s a lot better than ending up with a ton of student loan debt when you’re through!

Dear Dave: My wife and I are debtfree except for our home, and we’re on Baby Steps 4 and 5. Recently, we were asked to make a large donation to a charity we already support. We don’t have the full cash amount they asked for on hand, and after hearing that, they said we could make monthly installment payments until the donation amount was paid in full.

We’re hesitant to do this because it seems a bit like debt to us. What do you think? – Ben Dear Ben: Well, it’s not debt. There would be no repercussions, other than guilt, if you couldn’t make the full donation. So, it’s not debt. To be honest though, I don’t engage in that kind of stuff when it comes to giving.

My wife and I do all our giving – except for our tithe to our local church – through our family foundation. Sometimes we’ll do this giving in a couple of installments, but it’s not because we don’t have the money.

It’s generally a situation where we’re walking with the charity or ministry throughout the year, and we’re observing and assessing the need.

I’d be hesitant to give a gift when I don’t have the money. Most of the time, approaches like this fall under the heading of manipulation. You’re being pushed beyond your means.

Most giving of this type, biblically speaking, would be from surplus.

And right now, you don’t have the surplus.

I’m kind of uncomfortable with this, Ben. I don’t engage in making gift promises beyond what I have. It’s not debt, but it kind of starts to feel like it, and it’s not so much living beyond your means as it is giving beyond your means. That’s just another reason it doesn’t strike the right chord with me.

Dear Dave: I am 18 years old and homeschooled. I want to continue my education this fall, and my dad

Widower in new relationship is shunned by sisters-in-law Dear Abby: My wife of 43 years died nine months ago after losing her fouryear battle with cancer. I met a woman who also had experienced tragedy in her life, and we started seeing each other casually. When my wife’s three sisters found out, I became the outcast. Why do people think there is a set time to grieve?

Life is too short to sit and pine. Memories always will be there.

This woman has brought me out of my depression and sorrow. I can’t understand how people I thought cared for me could be so mean. I was told by the pastor and hospice counselor that grieving takes time, but what is enough time? I also was told to look at the marriages of these women. When I did, I realized they were unhappy in their unions and probably don’t want anyone else to be happy. So what do I do now? – Outcast in

Pennsylvania

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Outcast: You have had more

than four years to grieve your late wife’s illness and death. Now go on with your life and don’t look back.

There’s a story in the book of Genesis about a man named Lot, whose wife looked back during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and was turned into a pillar of salt. What I take from the story is sometimes it isn’t healthy for people to spend a lot of time looking backward, because if you do, you too can become “frozen” and unable to move forward with your life.

Dear Abby: One of my co-workers, “Bob,” has the same bad habit as I do –

smoking. (I know smoking isn’t good for me and I have tried to quit several times.

One day I will, but not just yet.)

Bob has been bumming cigarettes from me two to three times a day, five days a week, since I started here over a year ago. He’s always asking me or another co-worker. He never buys his own.

Strike that! He has bought two cartons about eight months apart to “thank me” for giving him cigarettes, but in the end, I smoked only one pack total out of both cartons. It’s like he gave them to me so I could ration them to him. My problem is, Bob is the vice president of the company, and I’m the receptionist. There’s a huge salary gap between our positions. How can I respectfully tell him I can no longer afford his habit and mine, and he should support his own habit?

I have tried to think of different ways to say it, but our cultures are different as

well, and I don’t want to come across as disrespectful and end up not getting promoted -- or worse, lose my job. – Taken

Advantage Of In Sugar Land, Texas Dear Taken Advantage Of: Sometimes

what we regard as a problem actually is an opportunity. Because you feel refusing to be your boss’ supplier could jeopardize your job, the safest way to handle this would be for you to quit smoking NOW. Talk to your doctor (who will be thrilled, I’m sure) about a nicotine withdrawal system to help ease you through the withdrawal. Then, when Mr. VP asks to bum his next cigarette, give him a smile along with the good news that you’re kicking your addiction and suggest he join you.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Take care of unfinished personal business.

Don’t feel the need to share too much information with someone who may use it against you. Concentrate on what you want, not on what someone else wants you to do. Initiate a healthy routine that will help you build strength and stamina.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Dig deep and you’ll discover new skills and ways to present what you have to offer. Don’t hold back when it comes to sharing your feelings. Communication and participation are favored.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Treat relationships carefully. Communication is your best source of in-

formation. Gather facts before you take action. The change you need to make may involve yourself instead of someone else.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Learn more about the people you care about. Ask questions and find out what brings them joy. Sharing your likes and dislikes will help build better relationships with those who matter most.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Stick to what you know and do best. Taking on a strenuous challenge will result in a physical or emotional setback. Protect your personal health and financial well-being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Added responsibilities will wear you down. Don’t jeopardize your health.

Aim to do something relaxing to ease your stress and avoid minor health issues.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Problems with a friend, relative or neighbor will surface if you try to make changes that infringe on someone else’s space.

Take care of any red-tape issues first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Engage in activities geared toward family fun or romance. Enhancing your appearance will spark greater interest in what you have to offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Home is where you should be putting your time and energy. Make changes to your surroundings that will give you the space you need to pursue new endeavors.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t hold back.

If you want something, go after it. Revisit old dreams and bring them back to life. Use your imagination and unique way of doing things to

your advantage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Find out what’s expected of you before you sign up for something that you are being pressured into doing. Don’t let anyone use emotional tactics to take advantage of you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Work hard to improve your life, relationship with others or a cause you believe in. Your input will be appreciated and should also lead to some sort of reimbursement.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Good planning is easier than facing complaints and criticism. Organize your time and take care of your responsibilities early so you can enjoy the people and things that make you happy.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – Dundee-Crown was not above accepting several gratuitous acts from Cary-Grove.

Eight times a Chargers runner reached base by walk (four), hit by pitch (three) or error (one) and scored.

That kind of opportunistic offense made things extremely difficult on the Trojans, who in the meantime struggled to do much with D-C left-hander Erik Hedmark.

The Chargers rapped 10 hits, and Hedmark threw six strong innings as D-C defeated C-G, 12-3, Saturday to take two of the three games in their Fox Valley Conference baseball series.

“Coach (Matt) Mueller always preaches to us about capitalizing if they make mistakes,” said Hedmark, who moved to 2-2. “We just try to manufacture runs if they do that.”

Hedmark, hitting in the No. 2 slot, was 3 for 3 with on RBI. Behind him, Conor Ryan had a hit and three RBIs, while catcher Jon Mays was 3 for 5 with three RBIs. Those there were the ones to drive in the runs after the seven walks and three hit-by-pitches put Chargers on the bases.

“Guys were great on the bases, reading the ball, there was no hesitation,” Mueller said. “We like to be educated aggressive. We value every 90 feet, and we want to put pressure on them, and I thought we did that really well the whole series.”

Scott Wojcik led off the game for D-C (7-8 overall, 4-8 FVC) with a walk and came around to score on a ground ball.

Greg Williams was hit by a pitch in the third inning, moved to third on Hedmark’s double and scored on Jon Mays’ single, starting the trend.

“In my 39 years of baseball, that’s what happens (if you give up bases),” Trojans coach Don Sutherland said. “On the other hand, they didn’t make any errors. It’s no secret, the team that wins does that (few mistakes), and the team that loses does that (makes mistakes).

Every single time we’ve lost (this season), it’s been a matter of too many mistakes.”

Hedmark (2-2) was sharp through six innings and 89 pitches, striking out four, walking two and allowing only five hits.

“We were working inside today, not so much outside because they do a good job hitting to the opposite field,” said Mays, D-C’s catcher. “We were working

Assists for D-C pitcher Erik Hedmark in his six innings pitched, starting with the first two batters of the game. Hedmark’s best play came in the third when he popped off the mound, slid to scoop up Quinn Priester’s bunt and threw him out at first base.

on jamming inside, and it worked out really well. Erik did a good job hitting his spots and doing what he was supposed to. Our defense behind him had his back.”

While C-G (12-6, 8-4) committed five errors, D-C had none.

“Erik was outstanding today,” Mueller said. “It was a small strike zone, but he kept attacking a great lineup. I couldn’t be prouder of him. I was happy we could go get one for him today. He’s thrown really well all year, and we’ve kicked a couple for him on defense.”

to harder teams and stuff like that, we have to have a full bench,” Jones said.

“You have to have a full bench of committed players who know what they’re doing on the field and then have everyone on the field, too. You’ve got to build that up at some point, and there’s no better time to do that than now.”

C-G goalkeeper Katie Demert didn’t have to make a save, while Restis made 10, five in each half for the Rockets (75-1).

“I think just coming here and playing a (Class) 3A school gives us that ‘We’ve played with everybody (mindset),’” Rockets coach Casey DeCaluwe said. “When we’re preparing for our 1A tournament, we’ve seen the best of the best, and so now we shouldn’t be afraid going in to see any team at that 1A level. That’s why I scheduled this game.

“I thought the girls played excellent in the first half, and then we got worn down in the second half. I think that’s a toll of the schedule that we’ve played and Cary being a really good team.

When they want to put it on, they can put it on.”

Ex-Giro cycling winner Scarponi dies after collision with van

MILAN – Cyclist Michele Scarponi, who won the Giro d’Italia in 2011, died after a collision with a van while training Saturday. He was 37.

Scarponi was training near his home of Filottrano, near Ancona, when he was hit by a van at a crossroad, Team Astana said.

According to Italian media reports, the Astana cyclist died on the spot and was unable to be revived by emergency services, which arrived promptly.

Team Astana called it “a tragedy too big to be written” in a statement.

“We left a great champion and a special guy, always smiling in every situation, he was a real milestone and a landmark for everyone in the Astana Pro Team,” it added.

Scarponi is survived by a wife and twin sons, who are 4 years old.

MCC baseball team sweeps Oakton in Skyway doubleheader

Bulls face questions without injured Rondo

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There was a lot of pleading the fifth Saturday.

Maybe Rajon Rondo stuck his leg out on purpose to trip up Boston’s Jae Crowder. Then again, maybe he didn’t Even after watching film, coach Fred Hoiberg said he wasn’t aware of the play from the first half of Game 3.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,’’ Hoiberg said. “I honestly didn’t even see it.”

An attitude shared by most of the Bulls.

“No,’’ three-time All-Star Jimmy Butler said, when asked if he saw the play. “I don’t [go] on the internet.”

Just in case Butler or Hoiberg do manage to check the tape sometime between practice and Sunday’s all-important Game 4 at the United Center, what they’ll see is Crowder hit a shot, loop toward the Bulls bench as if to let them know of his presence, and Rondo – who

Rondo was asked about it after the Game 3 loss, and in per-

fect Rondo fashion, well, left the door open for interpretation.

“When you tear an ACL, your leg gets stiff on you once in a while,’’ Rondo said straightfaced. “I stretched my leg out.”

This is the same Rondo that was yelling up and down the

court in Game 2 that the Celtics players had quit.

Mental warfare from one of the league’s finest, trying to make an impact even when he’s unable to play. Also, an attitude that Butler said the team needs to embrace moving forward.

“Rondo has a problem first off,” Butler said with a smile.

“That’s just ‘Do’ for you. He’s been through this before, countless times. He’s won. He knows what he’s doing. I just think overall we have to take his edge, especially mentally – older guys, younger guys, everybody.

We have to think the game like he thinks it, study it the way that he studies it. Take note and take after him because he does everything the right way.”

If that means making the series a bit feistier moving forward, Butler is all in.

“I like that type of stuff,” Butler said. “We all know that.

I like confrontation, stuff like that. Makes me smile. Gets me going and everybody else. I’m excited for what’s next. I woke

up smiling [Saturday] morning.

I don’t like to lose. ” What Butler couldn’t answer, however, is would there be enough time for the entire roster to take that Rondo edge, that Rondo approach, and make it work for them on the court?

“I hope so,’’ Butler said. “I can’t say yes. I can’t say no. I guess we’ll find out come Sunday.”

What also will remain to be seen is the lineup.

Jerian Grant was less than effective in his first playoff start for Rondo, and back-up point guard Michael Carter-Williams also did little to help the offense.

It sounded like Hoiberg was going to keep things the same, but he did at least entertain the idea of a jumbo backcourt lineup that would have Butler run the point, Dwyane Wade play the two, and rookie Paul Zipser start at the three.

That likely would give 5-foot9 Boston guard Isaiah Thomas some match-up problems when the Bulls have the ball.

12 CUBS 12, REDS 8

Cubs overcome latest shaky start

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CINCINNATI – It’s clear by now that most of the consternation in Cubdom over what’s wrong with the Cubs and what needs improving has more to do with last year’s clear sailing than this year’s flaws.

They are, after all, in first place with an early-season pace that would lead to 95 victories after winning their fourth straight Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati.

But even that 12-8 victory over the Reds underscored again the one area most worth watching over the next few weeks for its potential to put this team on the kind of run it spent most of last year riding.

That’s the starting rotation that pitched circles around the rest of the league in 2016 but has been up and down through just more than three full turns this year after returning its top four starters.

The rotation led the majors with a 2.96 ERA and 100 quality starts last year – including 2.21 with 15 in its first 17 games as the team got off to a torrid start.

“I still think we’re at the top,” said Saturday’s starter, Jake Arrieta, who survived a mistake-pitch, three-run homer to Joey Votto in the first to regroup for a six-inning start and the win.

“I don’t think you can say otherwise just because of the results,” he said. “If you go strictly by the numbers, then, yeah, it might not be the case. There’s been a couple of mistakes here and there. But I think we’ve thrown the ball pretty well.”

The rotation has a 4.00 ERA through 17 games this year – clustered in the middle of the pack in the majors – with only six quality starts. Only five MLB teams had fewer quality starts through Friday.

They average 52/3 innings a start.

Arrieta (3.65 ERA) and last year’s league ERA leader, Kyle Hendricks (6.19), have battled around dips in velocity – which is especially detrimental to Hendricks because he relies heavily on one of the game’s best changeups.

Jon Lester (2.66 ERA) doesn’t have a decision in four starts largely because of lack of run support; John Lackey (4.00) has been a first-inning runs sieve; and newcomer Brett Anderson (4.40) has battled command and Wrigley weather.

“We limit the free passes, we use our stuff, we’re going to be fine,” said Arrieta, who didn’t walk a batter after walking just one in his previous start. “We’ve

had some hiccups, but we’ve been picked up by the offense the last few times.”

Consider the Cubs allowed 24 runs during their four-game losing streak through Monday. They’ve allowed the same number in their past four games and won them all.

Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer in each of the past two games – Friday’s tying the game in the ninth. Jason Heyward hit one Saturday, the day after hitting a solo shot for his first homer of the season. Willson Contreras added his first career grand slam Saturday.

If Arrieta’s finish Saturday – retiring 12 of the last 14, including six strikeouts – is any indication, he could be on the verge of running off a streak of dominant starts.

His velocity even ticked up to 94 mph, inching closer to his 95-96 norm.

“After that [mistake to Votto], I was able to really lock it in,” Arrieta (3-0) said. “My command throughout the game was really good. It was probably the best stuff I’ve had so far this year.”

Just wait until the club gets through April, said Contreras, the catcher in his first full big-league season.

“April is the month to make adjustments and see how they’re going to attack us and how we’re going to pitch them,” Contreras said. “But I think in May and June we’re going to get a little bit hotter than we are right now.”

INDIANS 7, WHITE SOX 0

Sox’s scoreless streak stretches to 23 innings

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – Mike Pelfrey walked into what seemed like a no-win situation Saturday for his White Sox debut.

He pitched for a team that can’t score a run and squared off against the defending American League champions.

And that neatly sums up a 7-0 Sox loss to the Indians. The Sox had three hits and never even put a runner on second base against Carlos Carrasco, who threw eight shutout innings.

The Sox have gone 23 consecutive innings without scoring a run. The last time a Sox runner crossed the plate was during the fourth inning Wednesday against the Yankees.

“We know we have a good team,” said outfielder Melky Cabrera, one of eight Sox starters not to record a hit.

“We’re confident in ourselves and it’s only been two or three weeks. We know we’re going to be OK.” The South Siders have only six hits through the first two games of the series, which concludes Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Manager Rick Renteria said he’s not ready to panic about the sluggish offense yet.

“It’s a little early in the season, a little premature,” he said. “If I thought our approaches and at-bats were really bad, I’d have a little more concern about it.”

The Sox entered the game with a team .211 batting average that ranks third-to-last in the majors. They came in ranked 29th in runs scored, 26th in home runs and dead last in hits.

They had five players in the starting lineup Saturday with batting averages below .200.

bad for the Sox on Saturday, too. Zach Putnam exited the game with right elbow tenderness, and Cabrera was removed for precautionary reasons to get an X-ray on his left wrist, which came back negative. Both are considered day-to-day.

Pelfrey was able to go only 41/3 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk.

He made a costly mistake in the top of the first on an 0-2 pitch to Edwin Encarnacion, who parked it into the batter’s eye in center field. Pelfrey was steady the next two innings before a Tim Anderson error helped give way to two runs in the fourth.

The lone bright spot in all this? Jacob May broke his 0-for-26 streak to start the season and collected his first major-league hit.

NFL DRAFT

The Rocky statue stands in view of the stage being constructed for the 2017 NFL Draft on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Tuesday in Philadelphia. expected to visit the half-mile area next week to enjoy the festivities. The first round begins Thursday night.

“There was no better way to highlight the city of Philadelphia than to showcase some of its most iconic venues

– from the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to the Franklin Institute,” NFL spokesman Kamran Mumtaz said.

Some tourists and residents in the area have been grumbling for weeks

• Sunday, April 23, 2017

PHILADELPHIA – Yo, Roger, they did it.

When the NFL chose Philadelphia to host the 2017 draft, it quickly became clear one of the world’s most famous movie locations would be the perfect site to hold the three-day extravaganza.

“We had talked about a couple different venues for the NFL and they wanted the Rocky steps and they wanted the Art Museum,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney told The Associated Press. “So that’s what we gave them. It will be a terrific event.”

Perhaps NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will run up the famous steps before announcing the No. 1 pick. Those same steps immortalized by fictional hero Rocky Balboa 41 years ago will serve as the backdrop for the elaborate stage, including a 3,000-seat, open-air theater, being constructed along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway for the NFL’s first outdoor draft.

The free event is being called the largest fan experience ever produced by the NFL. More than 200,000 people are

about the lack of access to sidewalks and roads, and about the giant stage blocking most of the iconic “Rocky” steps.

Visitors won’t be able to run up those steps and raise their arms triumphantly at the top the way Sylvester Stallone did in the movie, but they could walk up the steps from the side and they can visit the Rocky statue at the bottom.

Joaquim Marquet, of Valencia, Spain, came down to Philadelphia from New York City just to run up the steps Thursday.

“It was the one thing I wanted to do,” the 32-year-old said. “(It) was a bit disappointing, but I understand you can’t stop everything just for tourists.”

There will be a ton of other, fun activities for visitors inside the NFL Draft Experience, which stretches the length of 25 football fields.

One of the interactives includes an opportunity for fans to test their 40-yard dash time against players. Adults and kids can kick field goals, run through obstacles or try the new 100-yard zip line.

“I will not be on the zip line, but I’m sure the more adventurous will be lined up for it,” Kenney said.

BLACKHAWKS

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com

Stan Bowman

Blackhawks general manager sure it against the expectations that we have of ourselves.”

It was a common theme Saturday as the Hawks gathered one last time before scattering for the summer, and tried in vain to explain how a 50-win season evaporated in four dreadful games against the lowest-seeded team in the Western Conference.

Patrick Kane said it was “the worst feeling we’ve had after any season.”

Niklas Hjalmarsson called it “kind of embarrassing.” Corey Crawford said, “We just weren’t the same team.” Brian Campbell said the Hawks “were stuck in regular-season mode.” Duncan Keith said the Hawks had no “bite” and Brent Seabrook said they had no “pushback.” Nine different players, plus Bowman and coach Joel Quenne-

ville, used the word “disappointing.”

Bowman said that Quenneville would be back as his head coach, but that was the only assurance he would give. Player personnel and the coaching staff are all up for evaluation.

“It’s time right now to take a look in the mirror and face facts,” Bowman said. “And when you do that, you look at accountability, and that starts with me. I need to be better, there’s no doubt about it. I’m going to take a look at all things. I can promise you I will be better. … Joel and I are going to work together to make sure this never happens again.”

The question is, what can they do? The Hawks are right up against the salary cap, and are hamstrung by no-movement clauses in the contracts of their eight most expensive players, which total more than $53 million.

Will a core player be asked to waive his no-movement clause and be traded away? Will there be changes on Quenneville’s coaching staff? Will there be another infusion of youth in an attempt to increase speed and energy among the defensemen? Will the Hawks have to rethink their system in order to re-

gain their puck-possession advantage in an increasingly fast league?

Bowman and Quenneville offered plenty of soundbites, but few specifics.

But they have five long months – more time than they ever expected or wanted – to figure it out before training camp opens in September.

“There’s been anger, frustration, disappointment,” Quenneville said. “I guess anger is probably as good a word [to] express where we’re at and how I feel. … Figuring it out is the process now.”

Quenneville lamented his team’s passive nature during the season, saying they didn’t find “the all-out button.” Bowman and most of the players agreed, although everyone was at a loss to explain the lack of intensity against Nashville. But when asked whether some of the veteran players are getting complacent and have lost their hunger after winning multiple Stanley Cups, Bowman bristled.

“I don’t know if I buy that,” he said.

“And if that’s the case, then we’re going to get rid of those people. Because the only reason we come here is to win the Cup.”

CHICAGO – Stan Bowman never raises his voice, and rarely shows his emotions. He carefully tip-toes around questions and never wades into controversy. It’s part of what makes him an effective negotiator, and a calming presence guiding the Blackhawks organization.

But standing before reporters in April Stan Bowman instead of June for the second straight season, and coming off a miserable, lifeless four-game sweep at the hands of the Nashville Predators, Bowman didn’t mince words Saturday.

“I’m completely disappointed,” the Hawks’ general manager said in a rare prepared opening remark. “It’s unacceptable to be where we are today.

I’m frustrated. I’m angry. This was a tough, tough loss for us all to take.

Standing here April 22 is not the way we expected our season to end. And it’s a complete failure when you mea-

“It’s unacceptable to be where we are today. I’m frustrated. I’m angry.”

When nature calls, smile for the camera Most Americans think it’s a bad idea to have their picture taken while using the toilet. But if you’re visiting China, it may be impossible to steer clear of the pooparazzi.

But first, a little background: If you read this column regularly, you may remember I recently wrote about facial recognition software that now lets the FBI identify faces any time they want.

You didn’t have to commit a crime for the feds to know your face, or even give them consent, because they nabbed your mug shot from your state driver’s license file. The FBI uses that data, I assume, to catch criminals whose images are caught on security cameras at crime scenes – and for who knows what other reasons the FBI might want to use it.

When my buddy Jim L. read my column, he sent me a link to a story about crime in the teeming cities of China.

Because, according to the story, a major problem in Chinese cities is citizens are stealing toilet paper from public restrooms, and the government is using facial recognition software to “crack down” on the criminals.

(And I swear, that is the last crappy pun I’ll use today.)

(Well, OK, THAT’s the last one.)

The TP theft problem is so big in China, it seems, most public restrooms have stopped providing toilet paper because so many shady citizens were showing up with backpacks and shopping bags and hauling off dozens of rolls.

As a result, using a public potty in a big city such as Beijing has become strictly a BYOTP affair. Take a look at any photo of the millions of people milling around on Chinese streets, and then consider they all carry a wad of Charmin in their pockets and purses to guard against emergencies. Try to flush that image out of your head.

(Seriously, THAT’S the last one.)

Still, there were certain revered public places, such as Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, where Chinese officials provided plenty of paper in hopes citizens would respect the sanctity of the site enough to refrain from tissue theft.

But still the TP rolls disappeared, as unscrupulous thieves dumped all over the public trust.

(Really, I’m trying … but sheesh!)

But rather than just eliminating TP at the Temple of Heaven, Chinese officials have employed facial recognition software to get to the bottom of things.

(Look, we all knew it would go this way, didn’t we?)

And in a brilliant twist, the software doesn’t simply identify thieves and help the authorities nab them – facial recognition is used in the public restrooms to keep the crime from happening in the first place.

That’s because when you enter a public potty at that site, you first must stare into a computer for three seconds.

Thirty seconds later, the computer will dish out a 2-foot long sheet of toilet paper for your use after you’ve finished “downloading your software.” Your face doesn’t have to be in the databanks to be served the first time. But once served, it’s in there now.

So what if you’re having one of those days when 2 feet of paper won’t get the job done?

Well, you can smile for the camera and get a second helping. But you’ll have to wait nine minutes for it to be dispensed, because now the computer recognizes you, and it knows you’re just double dipping. It won’t deny you and make you sit there forever. It’ll just feel like forever.

So if you’re thinking of visiting China, maybe walking around with a pocket packed with Charmin is still a pretty good plan.

When my buddy Jim sent me that news link, I thanked him and thought that would be the end of it.

But then I opened the newspaper and noticed Chinese President Xi Jinping was coming to America that day to visit with President Donald Trump. Trump invited him to Mar-a-Lago to talk about important things such as our nations’ trade balance and our joint policies toward dangerous nations such as North Korea.

But having just read that article about China’s TP crime spree, I couldn’t help but wonder if President Xi stopped by just to stock up. I wonder if anybody counted the rolls in Mar-a-Lago or checked his backpack when he left.

Still, even if we came up a few rolls short, we wouldn’t want to start an international incident by patting Xi down, would we?

That’s why I thought it would be a great gesture if President Trump would present President Xi with a couple dozen rolls of Trump brand toilet tissue (Motto: “The touch of Trump upon your rump – no consent required!”) That is, if his company ever actually manufactured any TP after he pocketed the investors’ checks and then declared bankruptcy.

It would make a great photo-op, wouldn’t it? Chinese citizens who saw the photo in their papers would believe our President is taking a real swipe at their day-to-day crime mess.

And American citizens, of course, would appreciate the symbolism of American prestige and respect going down the crapper under this administration.

Home&GardenTips Tackle DIY projects

When it comes to home improvement, DIY is more popular than ever.

So look around your house to see what home improvements are on your to-do list and then apply these tips for an affordable and rewarding experience.

• Find your motivation. The most rewarding DIY projects are those that satisfy a real

need in your home and those you’ll use or see every day.

• If you’re unsure, surf the web for a how-to video on your chosen project and see if it matches your capabilities.

• The average coin jar value amounts to $42.92, according to data from Coinstar. That’s money sitting around that easily could be turned into tools for your project.

• Turn your DIY project into lasting memories by giving your children their own tasks to do.

• Don’t forget to take pictures of the beginning, middle and end of the process.

Skip rosemary seeds

Have you always dreamed of having your own window herb garden but don’t know where

to start? Here’s a tip, don’t try rosemary; the plant is notoriously slow and difficult to germinate from seed.

Instead, buy rosemary seedlings from a local garden center. According to www.garden. org, basil, chives, cilantro and dill grow quickly from seed and are easy to start indoors.

New website helps people adopt the best dog

By MARK PRATT

The Associated Press BOSTON – People looking for the perfect family pet tend to choose a dog based on appearance or breed – but that’s barking up the wrong tree.

“If you think they’re cute, you bring them home,” said Jodi Andersen, a dog trainer and author.

That’s why Andersen, along with MaryAnn Zeman and Sharon Mosse, founded the new online business How I Met My Dog. It works like Match or eHarmony, fitting humans with dogs based on what really matters: personality, lifestyle and behavior.

Several other online services match people with pets, but the founders of How I Met My Dog say they take things to a new level with a more detailed, science-based questionnaire that narrows the number of dogs that meet a human adopter’s lifestyle and expectations.

The service is needed because about 4 million dogs a year are handed over to shelters and rescues, they said. Too many end up back in shelters, and too many are being euthanized because they can’t find good homes.

“The system we’re using now is broken and has to be fixed,” Andersen said.

How I Met My Dog, which also helps people who want to find a new home for a dog they just can’t live with anymore, so far has partnered with 24

that complement their lifestyle.

“For example, if you have kids, you will never see a dog from us that doesn’t get along with kids,” Zeman said.

Once the website matches someone with a dog, it’s up to the adopter to meet that dog in person.

The shelter or owner ultimately determines whether there’s a match.

Pawfect Life Rescue, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, was one of the first rescue organizations to sign on with How I Met My Dog. “They have been pretty spot-on so far with having the right people come and look at the right dog,” Pawfect Life founder and president Julie AP photo Uthoff said.

Kate Fredette greets the family dog, Roscoe, at their The Fredette family, of Waltham, Massachuhome in Waltham, Mass. setts, adopted their dog, Roscoe, from Pawfect Life after being matched through How I Met My Dog. Kate Fredette, her husband and two children had Boston-area shelters and rescues.

Woodstock healing circle celebrates World Tai Chi and Qigong Day

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com On April 29, think of the Woodstock Square as more of a circle.

People throughout the world, including many in Woodstock, will gather that morning to celebrate World Tai Chi and Qigong Day by doing tai chi and forming a healing circle.

The 18th annual day includes a multinational wave of people participating beginning at 10 a.m. in New Zealand and spreading from time zone to time zone, finally concluding in Hawaii.

“The intention is not only to raise awareness about the healing benefits of tai chi, but also to create a healing wave across the planet, everyone moving and healing as one ... a sense of oneness,”

said Allison Deputy, who organized the Woodstock event and serves as founder and head tai chi instructor of MoonWillow Tai Chi & Wellness at 110 S. Johnson St. on the Woodstock Square.

“It’s quite a beautiful thing, something we need more of these days, especially,” she said.

The Woodstock event is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the Square. It includes a free roughly 45-minute class of tai chi – an ancient Chinese health exercise that combines focused breath and slow martial arts movements – followed by other demonstrations and the healing circle and concluding with refreshments and tours of Deputy’s studio, housed at Young Masters Martial Arts & Fitness Studio.

The event will take place rain or shine, with the tai chi and demonstrations moving into the studio in the event of bad weather. Along with showing the basics of tai chi, instructors will demonstrate other styles of the exercise, including a form of tai chi that uses weighted wooden balls.

“It’s more invigorating with more cardio, meant to strengthen the joints and spine,” said Deputy, who’s hosted the Woodstock event since 2014.

In previous years, she’s drawn close to 100 people.

“We had people just walking by and looking,” she said. “One gal dropped her purse right away and started doing the movement with us.”

She encourages people to come see what tai chi and qigong are all about, with her studio offering free trials of classes.

Having done tai chi years ago, Ross and Jean Knutson of Richmond started taking classes with Deputy in December and enjoy the physical benefits, as well as the camaraderie and light-hearted nature of the studio.

“It’s a good workout. It’s meditative,” Jean Knutson said. “It builds strength, and it’s something I’m particularly concerned about at my age with bone density.”

Her husband, Ross, said he liked the euphoric state it can bring, “much like a runner’s high, but it’s low impact.”

Closely related to tai chi, qigong focuses more on the internal and external energy exerted in the exercise, such as breathing techniques and mental focus, said Bob Horrell of Woodstock, who was a tai chi instructor for about five years before retiring.

He now takes classes with Deputy and takes part in World Tai Chi Day annually.

“Wherever we are, we’re going to be doing tai chi at 10 in the morning [April 29],” he said.

“Tai chi really helps you stay balanced, not just physically, but emotionally. It helps you stay centered.”

The exercise has been embraced in recent years by the medical community, Deputy said, providing many health benefits, such as boosting the immune system, alleviating chronic pain and helping with sleep and mood disorders.

Compared to yoga, it’s easier for some to perform as it doesn’t require positions that can be challenging or can “bend you in knots,” said Deputy, who offers various levels of classes, including chair tai chi versions.

“It’s very open, flowing and feels good, and you really feel good afterwards,” she said. “You feel

It’s quite amazing the benefits of this exercise.”

Deputy first began tai chi about 26 years ago, suffering from anxiety and colon issues at the time.

She said she was able to get off her meds within a year of her first class, and, at the age of 51, feels better and healthier than she did before she started doing tai chi.

Despite its slow movements, Deputy said, tai chi is exercise and can surprise people.

“People think moving in slow motion is really easy until they try it,” she said. “Their legs start shaking and they break a bit of a sweat and they say, ‘Oh, it works.’ It helps the brain as well. The brain has to work with the coordination of movements. There’s a lot going on for the brain to play with there.”

Questions? Visit northwestcommunitycounseling.com

Uncovering ‘normal’ among addiction One of my most used phrases is “Does that sound normal to you?” I listen carefully and non-judgmentally to the folks who come in my door, and I find most of the time, given the respectful space and the dignity to examine their own thoughts and feelings, people will know what “normal” drinking looks like, or at least what “abnormal” looks like.

There are a few common themes in the development of a rationalization. One of our most common is the “it’s not that bad” theme. That theme usually starts with stories about other people’s drinking behavior that makes the speaker look like a cupcake.

Stories of multiple tragedies, hospitalizations, lost business, unimaginable amounts of alcohol are common, and by comparison, the speaker

looks good. In fact, the speaker, by inference, “isn’t that bad.”

The speaker subtly has established that, in comparison, he or she doesn’t have a problem and, in addition, has used up most of the available conversation space by talking about people other than themselves.

However, when we do get around to talking about the speaker’s experiences aside from comparison, that same question might arise: “Does that sound normal to you?”

Maybe he or she didn’t get a DUI but just didn’t get caught. Maybe he or she didn’t get a divorce but chose to stay in a miserable marriage rather than face the music. Maybe he or she didn’t drink every day but was a binge drinker. Maybe he or she quit drinking for periods of time and convinced

themselves this made the drinking OK when the reality was they couldn’t stay stopped.

Another common theme is “[Blank] made me do it.” You fill in the blank.

The idea is outside influences caused the overindulgence, but if the outside influences weren’t there, the overindulgence wouldn’t happen. It is very seductive for those with alcoholism to see things backwards. In other words, it might not be the outside influences causing the drinking, but the drinking causing the outside distress. I have often heard the story, “If she weren’t so controlling and paranoid about my drinking, I wouldn’t have to rebel or hide it.” In essence, saying her need for control caused the drinking, when in fact, the drinking caused the desire for control.

Once more, the listening followed by the question: “Does that sound normal to you?”

I’ll mention quickly some of other common themes. There’s the “I deserve a break” theme, the “it’s better than it used to be” theme and my all-time favorite, the “I know it’s bad but I need it to [sleep, handle stress, function better, etc.]” theme.

To all these, I apply the same question: “Does that sound normal to you?”

KERRY NENN

Hometown: Lakewood Latest Book: “24 Ways To Serve Through Your Day” Publisher: Nenn Pen, Ink Release Date: March 24, 2017 Available: Online through Amazon and Barnes & Noble

What’s your new book about?

Do you want to serve but can’t find the time?

Maybe you’re unsure what you have to offer.

When you think about serving, what comes to mind? Saturdays at the soup kitchen? Mission trips to Mozambique? These are great ministries, but they might not be for you. Maybe it’s time to rethink your definition of serving. Try this: Serve those around you every day. We all encounter ways to serve others in our day-to-day lives, but we often overlook them. ‘24 Ways To Serve Through Your Day’ helps you recognize these opportunities and develop a habit of serving. You will discover you don’t have to schedule, scramble or be a superstar to serve. Simply seize the serving opportunities right in front of you. As you do, you’ll develop the heart of a servant and start living a Galatians 5:13 life – “Serve one another humbly in love.”

Where did the idea come from?

‘24 Ways To Serve Through Your Day’ is one installment of a four-part series designed to help readers live out the Greatest Commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30 This book offers practical, daily steps to develop a loving, humble heart of serving – a heart dedicated to God’s purposes.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

Christian living. As a Christian writer, my passion is to pass along what God teaches me, to encourage others in their spiritual walk. I pray this series helps readers grow in their love for the Lord.

Who is the intended audience?

This book was created to serve readers by helping them serve others. It is for those who struggle with how, when and where to serve.

This guide makes the process simple.

It’s designed as a tool for those who want to develop a servant attitude and love God with all their heart.

Why is this story important to you?

Too often, we miss opportunities to serve others. In our society, it’s easy to become overly individualistic and miss out on a richer life of serving one another in love. I believe serving is an essential part of the Christian life, and an integral part of following the Greatest Commandment.

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

I wrote this installment of the series over a matter of months. I set a goal of March 2017 for release and asked several friends to hold me accountable to this goal. When I started, I put out a call to readers of the first book, ‘24 Ways To Pray Through Your Day,’ to contribute ideas for this edition. Anyone whose ideas I used would get their name included in the book. I combined these ideas with my own to come up with a total of 24 ways. Once completed, I used a graphic designer to create the cover.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

The most enjoyable part was recalling all the ways God has blessed me through others. It’s encouraging to see how even simple acts can transform another person’s day, or even his or her life. The most difficult part of the process was final editing and formatting. Since I chose a self-publishing/indie route, I didn’t have a team from a big publishing company to handle this for me. I had to manage all the details and get everything polished for publication myself.

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

I went through CreateSpace for indie publication. This is an affordable option that gets my book out there to the worldwide audience on Amazon.

What is your education/background?

I have a bachelor’s degree in social work. However, I probably should have majored in English or journalism. After years of soul-searching and traveling various career paths, I now am living out my dream of working as a full-time writer.

In addition to authoring books, I contribute to industry-leading websites, blogs, newsletters and magazines.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

My desire is to share what God teaches me, to equip others with the armor they need for the battles they face. I find it’s a daily struggle

to love the Lord with all your heart. I pray this provides an effective tool to help others fulfill the Greatest Commandment.

Who are your favorite authors?

Shel Silverstein, Stephen King and Dee Henderson Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Paperbacks Have you written anything else?

‘24 Ways To Pray Through Your Day’ (2016) and ‘Random Thoughts’ (2011) What’s next for you?

I plan to complete the ‘24 Ways’ series with two additional titles. The next one will encourage readers to love the Lord with all their minds – by filling them with Scripture.

1226 N. Green St ~ McHenry

Van Buren St., Woodstock. Presented by Jim May. Cost: $26 adults, $21 students. Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the holocaust and ongoing wars. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli Occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed. “A Land Twice Promised” delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts.

Baum’s deeply personal memoir recounts her journey from girlhood in post-Holocaust Israel to her adult encounter with “the other.” With honesty, compassion and humor, she captures the drama of a nation at war and her discovery of humanity in the enemy. Information: www.facebook.com/ events/415134128836474.
