Good morning, McHenry County ...

First Amendment can’t be just a fad TRIGGER WARNING – The following column contains opinions that you might not share. Despite all cultural signals, this columnist is going to go ahead and write what he thinks. If you believe there’s a chance that the columnist, based on past reading experiences or sheer hunch, might have an alternative opinion to your own, please proceed at your own risk.

People who regularly read newspaper columns don’t need that warning, because they’ve already signed up for free thought. Others can’t handle the terrifying possibility that something that someone writes or says might influence the intricate but delicate worldview they’ve carefully constructed in the sterile laboratory of their own minds.

This is why we can’t possibly have someone as tall and blond as Ann Coulter saying words at the University of California at Berkeley. While Coulter’s a cult hero to some on the right, she’s not my cup of tea, but I’d defend her right to speak anywhere even though I probably won’t listen, and I’d guess she’d defend my right to pen columns she’d never read.

This phenomenon is flaring up again just after we stopped hearing about safe spaces where puppets and Play-Doh help college students more than the age of 18 process their icky feelings.

I came across a paper released last week by Jeffrey Herbst, president and CEO of Newseum, about what he considered a crisis on college campuses regarding free expression.

“With little comment, an alternate understanding of the First Amendment has emerged among young people that can be called ‘the right to nonoffensive speech,’” Herbst wrote.

The intentions are good, but although I haven’t been there yet, Tripadvisor says that’s the odd thing about the road surface on the boulevard to Hell.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons Many millennials just believe that members of certain groups should be protected from offensive speech.

That’s hardly a radical notion. It’s actually quite humane. We can call out others for using offensive slurs wherever we like, on campus, on social media, even in your friendly neighborhood Letters to the Editor pages.

The danger lies in tasking the government with legally determining what can and what cannot be said. If the past two election cycles taught us anything, it’s that the political pendulum of the government swings mightily, and we should expect the definition of offensive speech to swing with it.

I am among the last of people who’d complain about millennials on my lawn playing their loud hip hop cassettes, but there does seem to be some generational peculiarities.

According to a recent Pew Foundation poll, 40 percent of millennials support limiting speech that is offensive to minorities. By contrast, only 27 percent of my nihilist Generation Xers, 24 percent of Baby Boomers and 12 percent of the Silent Generation said that government should limit speech in those circumstances.

College campuses are where minds should be challenged most. This is something that education will have to correct, and while their are generational differences with respect to some speech, I still frequently get confused about calls, emails and letters from people who I guarantee are well past 50 about content they disagree with in the newspaper.

Yes, that political cartoon is, in fact,

biased. That’s the definition of a political cartoon and that’s why “The Family Circus” isn’t on the Opinion Page. No, I don’t necessarily expect you to agree with the person quoted in that story. In fact, the controversy about the subject matter is kind of what made it newsworthy in the first place.

Here’s a deep, dark editor’s secret: I don’t agree with everything in the newspaper, and I have something to do with a few things that go into it. I disagree with columns, cartoons, points of view in stories on a daily basis. The same goes for other key newspaper employees. We just don’t assume that our opinions are the only ones that matter. If we work for a newspaper, we happen to believe in a free marketplace of ideas.

But a newspaper is different from the government. We edit and self-censor. We don’t make a habit of offending minority groups. The difference is that we aren’t subject to the whim of government regulation. We’re allowed to have our own principles and our readers help guide them.

We welcome the criticism from readers, but if the government wants to censor us, they can expect a fight.

What we do know is that there is not a homogeneous point of view even in relatively conservative McHenry County.

There isn’t one on college campuses, no matter how much some colleges might wish for one. And letting bad ideas be heard is the only way people know that they’re bad ideas.

We need to fight this tendency to refuse to hear anything we don’t want to hear. We’re a better country than this and we’ve been better by allowing speech to remain free for a few centuries now.

Feel free to disagree. It’s your right.

ON THE COVER For decades, McHenry County has seen steady growth in its population. But since the 2010 U.S. Census, estimates show the county’s population decreasing. If the trend continues, the 2020 U.S. Census will mark the first time since the county’s first 1840 Census that the population shrank over a 10-year period.

Studies paint bleak picture of reversing trend in McHenry County, state

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

McHenry County population trend

kcraver@shawmedia.com The latest annual U.S. Census Bureau population estimates once again sound a familiar refrain – McHenry County and Illinois are losing people.

While it should not be a surprise to anyone who follows current events and state politics that Illinois is hemorrhaging residents to other states – the exodus last year hit 100,000 for the first time – it is telling that a county that in previous decades was one of the fastest-growing in the nation is now suffering the same.

McHenry County had a net loss of 184 people between July 2015 and July 2016, according to the new data, making for an overall loss of 1,756 since the decennial 2010 Census to 307,004. Since 2010, McHenry County has lost population in every annual estimate but one.

Such a small decrease on its face might not seem like a lot, but it should sound alarm bells in a county that grew by 18.7 percent in the previous decade and almost 42 percent in the decade before that. Barring a sudden upswing, the 2020 Census will be the first in which McHenry County lost population since the original 1840 census taken four years after the county’s founding.

While much of the downtrend can be blamed on the end of the county’s white-hot housing boom with the bursting of the housing bubble a decade ago, experts and observers say other factors now are just as responsible for driving people out.

Real estate agent and lifelong county resident Shawn Strach has heard them all in his 14-year career selling homes – but by far, the most common responses he hears is the tax burden and the scarcity of jobs.

“I think, ultimately, the concern in the marketplace today is why people are leaving. It’s a plethora of reasons,” he said.

Multiple studies and analyses confirm Strach’s observation and put a more disturbing face on the latest census estimate.

“

For decades, McHenry County has seen steady growth in its population. But since the 2010 U.S. Census, estimates show the county’s population decreasing. If the trend continues, the 2020 U.S. Census will mark the first time since the county’s first 1840 Census that the population shrank over a 10-year period.

1970: 111,555 1980: 147,897 1990: 183,241 2000: 260,077 2010: 308,760 2017*: 307,004 * NOTE: Numbers taken between each decennial U.S. Census are estimates.

SOURCE: U.S. Census Bureau Several studies put Illinois’ property tax burden at the highest or second-highest of all 50 states, with critics alleging that many residents pay more on their property taxes than they do their mortgages. A 2010 analysis by the nonprofit, Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation puts McHenry County’s at 29th highest of all counties nationwide.

Even though property values plummeted in the wake of the Great Recession, property taxes stayed the same or increased – a fact that a number of former McHenry County residents cited as the last straw for them in a 2015 series the Northwest Herald wrote on the local property tax burden.

They’re hardly alone. A 2014 Gallup poll and a 2016 poll by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale concluded that more than half of Illinois residents want to move elsewhere.

One out of four Illinois residents in a separate Gallup poll called Illinois the worst state in which to live.

As for jobs, on top of the fact Illi-

nois’ job growth since the Great Recession has paled in comparison with neighboring states, that growth isn’t happening here – studies commissioned for McHenry County show that about two-thirds of working residents commute to other counties for their jobs.

Those neighboring states also are getting most of the people leaving Illinois, according to a 2015 study by the Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies, which disputes the argument that people are leaving to live in warmer climates.

Yet another study – a 2016 economic development study commissioned for McHenry, Boone and Winnebago counties – casts an even darker light by showing just who the people are who are leaving.

The study revealed that the three counties between 2010 and 2014 lost almost 8 percent of 25- to 44-year-old residents, or about 12 times more than what the rest of the Chicago region lost. That demographic is considered critical to planners because it’s the

one that starts families and businesses.

To former Illinois state representative and current McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, taxation and population drop are a “dysfunctional cycle” that has to be broken. County government several weeks ago approved a plan to cut its tax levy by at least 10 percent, and Franks said other local bodies, especially school districts that make up the largest share of property tax bills, must follow suit.

While he touted job-creating projects, such as the full Interstate 90-Route 23 interchange that Marengo city leaders envision as a manufacturing hub equidistant to O’Hare and Rockford airports, he said tax reform has to be local governments’ top priority if the declining population trend is to be reversed.

“Until we can make McHenry County a more attractive place for employers to locate, young people are going to follow the jobs,” Franks said.

But on top of problems at the local level, Springfield presents its own contributions to the ongoing outmigration of people and their tax revenue and intellectual capital.

The state has the worst unfunded pension liability in the U.S., and the worst credit rating, which is just above junk status and continues to drop. Illinois has gone almost two years without a budget in place as a Republican governor wanting reforms stays at loggerheads with the Democratic-dominated General Assembly that believes a budget and reforms are two separate issues.

There are some strong things that continue to work in McHenry County’s favor and keep people here, Strach said. But he questioned how much longer it will be until even those strengths get outweighed by liabilities.

“The things keeping our residents here is that we have a pretty decent school base and green space,” Strach said. “Is that enough to keep people around when we have high taxes? I think that’s where we are today.”

Until we can make McHenry County a more attractive place for employers to locate, young people are going to follow the jobs.

CRYSTAL LAKE

Restaurant to offer Cinco de Mayo menu items

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Retro Bistro in Crystal Lake is paying tribute to Cinco de Mayo by offering its traditional French dishes with a Mexican twist for a limited time.

The Mexican-inspired dishes will be offered from May 5 through 7 at both the Crystal Lake and Mount Prospect restaurants.

“It’s an important day in Mexican history that not many people know the true history behind, so we’re creating this French-Mex menu to celebrate,” restaurant co-owner Chris Barth said.

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.

“We have a lot of people from Mexico who are employed here and they have fabulous cuisine, so we are dedicating our specials to that Mexican culture,” Barth said.

The menu will include dishes such

as Baked Puerto Vallarta Oysters, Tamale of Duck Confit, Pulled Guadalajara Pork Salad, Roasted Chicken Dark Mole and Bistro Flan.

Three-course dinner will feature an appetizer, entree and dessert for just $35.50.

“We’re also going to be featuring a Grand Marnier Jose Cuervo Margaritas, and I must say, I make fantastic margaritas,” Barth said.

In addition to the special menu items, Retro Bistro will also have live entertainment in the form of a mariachi band.

The Crystal Lake restaurant, located at 82 N. Williams St., opened in June 2016 and offers the same menu items as the first location, which opened in Mount Prospect in 1990. Barth said the Crystal Lake restaurant has been doing really well since it opened almost a year ago.

“We’re very, very happy. Crystal Lake has just been a fantastic spot for Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com us,” Barth said.

McHenry County March for Babies draws hundreds

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Aubrey Zientek was born 12 weeks early through an emergency cesarean section after her heart rate suddenly started to drop.

Her mother, Gina Zientek, shared her daughter’s story Saturday morning before the McHenry County March for Babies in Woodstock.

Aubrey weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces and was not breathing when she was born, Zientek said. After 69 days of being in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge and Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Aubrey was able to come home to Woodstock.

“Today she is a healthy, happy, strong-willed 3-year-old,” Zientek said.

“We are so grateful to all the doctors, nurses, her therapist and to the March of Dimes that helped us make her recovery possible.”

About 400 participants marched at Emricson Park, despite the cold and

windy weather, development specialist at March of Dimes Nicole Willsey said. About $75,000 was raised locally for March of Dimes, she said.

Prematurity is the leading killer of babies in the U.S., according to March of Dimes’ website. The organization’s mission is to help more mothers have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies by researching problems that threaten children and finding ways to prevent them.

Medela’s managing director Melissa Gonzales and Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager spoke to the crowd before the Zientek family – including Aubrey, and her parents, Gina and Chris Zientek – kicked off the walk.

“To see them turn that experience into something so positive and have their family and friends out there supporting them is really beautiful to see,” March of Dimes Executive Director Ashley Summers said of the Zientek family.

While some walked to celebrate the healthy children March of Dimes has

helped, others came to remember loved ones who died after being born prematurely.

Jen Baedke of Lake in the Hills walked to remember her son, Jayden, whom she lost in 2013. The march is important because it raises awareness of prematurity, Baedke said, and helps fundraise for babies who are fighting for their lives.

“It’s just nice to be able to come out and support it and remember my baby,” Baedke said.

Marisol Legis-Portincaso of Crystal Lake marched in honor of her niece, Aleena, who died about four years ago after living for a couple of weeks in the NICU. “I think that when you go through something like that, it’s very sensitive and very emotional,” Legis-Portincaso said. “And so [the walk] brings families together. It brings families who thought that they were alone to go ahead and be stronger together and overcome the loss, or celebrate that they had some good outcomes.”

HARVARD – Harvard School District 50 seeks to take out up to nearly $4 million in bonds to develop a working cash fund and will hold a public hearing in May on the matter.

The district recently completed its 10-year health, life and safety study and officials project they will need the funding to complete work on the schools. The Illinois State Board of Education will review district estimates and finalize what needs to be done, which is when the district will know exactly how much money they will need to complete the projects, Business Manager Mary Taylor said.

“We don’t have anything back from the state as far as a figure,” she said.

“But hopefully we will have some true numbers [in the next six to eight weeks]” The district has a bond series end-

ing, so these new bonds should replace those without impact to the taxpayers, she added.

Harvard School district operates Harvard High School, Harvard Junior High, Crosby Elementary, Jefferson School and Washington School. The district has an enrollment of about 2,500, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Director of Facilities Steve Miller said much of the work is smaller-scale repairs, such as fire alarm work, door replacements and plumbing-related items. A big-ticket item would be an upgrade to the HVAC system at the junior high.

“We would add air conditioning to that building, which it doesn’t have now,” Miller said.

A public hearing on the matter should be held at the Board of Education’s May 17 meeting. The board meets at 7 p.m. at the Central Administration Center, 401 N. Division St.

A snapshot of McHenry County history Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Main Street in Woodstock has traditionally been a place to go and enjoy a good movie. The “Gem,” a “nickelodeon” theater (silent films with live piano accompaniment) once stood on the east side of the street near the Square.

A young man, John C. Miller, born near Dundee in 1879, worked there part time. He fell in love with film and, on Feb. 1, 1909, he opened a rival theater, the “Princess” (perhaps after his wife, Lena, whom he married in 1902) almost across the street. This photo is of a postcard printed to announce its opening. When “talkies” arrived in the late 1920s, Miller replaced the Princess with his “Miller Theater” on the same site.

John Miller, a Woodstock city councilman for a time, died in Woodstock on July 1, 1934, after a lengthy illness. He and his wife are buried in the Marengo City Cemetery. Those entering the modern Woodstock Theatre step into a venue where movie lovers have been entertained for more than a century.

••• The McHenry County Historical Society marks its 54th year with a season-opening soirée from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday featuring a wine tasting, live music, refreshments, gourmet food and the unveiling of its new exhibit: “Waterways and Getaways: Resort Life in McHenry County.” The museum is located at 6422 Main St. in Union.

Emile R. Gelinas, 91, passed away on March 23, 2017 in Walla Walla, WA after a battle with dementia.

He was born in Manchester, N.H., to Eulalie Lemieux and Emile Gelinas on January 19, 1926. The family included his elder sister Irene.

Emile grew up in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, where he was part of a large French Canadian community and attended Catholic school taught in French, his first language.

It was during his early years in Woonsocket that Emile began to foster his lifelong love of sports. He spent much of his free time at the YMCA swimming and playing basketball.

After high school in 1945, he was drafted and inducted into the Army, serving 18 months in post-WWII Germany. His enlistment was delayed by a broken arm acquired while skiing in Vermont. Although he never experienced combat firsthand, he witnessed the sad aftermath and he always had great admiration for the sacrifices of the many who fought.

Back in the U.S. he returned to Rhode Island and attended Brown University for two years. In 1949, looking for work, he and several friends decided to move west to Chicago, where he eventually attended the Chicago College of Laboratory Technique school. It was there that he met Rosemary (Rosie) Friedrich, who would become the love of his life and wife. They married in May 1952 in Chillicothe, Illinois. They lived in Peoria where both worked for a hospital lab, then moved to Chillicothe, working together in a medical laboratory he established in the offices of doctors Green, Johnson, and White. During this time, Emile and Rosemary adopted two children, Lauren and David. Dr. Green was instrumental in shaping Emile’s life by encouraging him to further his education. He took the good doctor’s advice, completing college by attending night classes at Bradley University in Peoria, while manning the lab during the day. He was accepted into and attended the Loyola University College of Dental Surgery in Chicago. He attended school during the day while working a wide variety of night jobs to support his family and pay for the tuition. He was graduated in 1963, with high honors and a member of the Blue Key Honor Society, as a Doctor of Dental Surgery and was offered a teaching position at Loyola. Intent on opening his own dental practice in a rural small town, Emile moved his family to Harvard, IL where he and Rosemary made their home for 26 years.

He was involved in Lions Club and served on the Harvard School District Board of Education for 9 years, 6 years as president.

and husband, Jeff of Walla Walla, WA; son, David and wife, Tina of Elgin, IL; granddaughters, Alexandra (Steve) Cannon, Tigen (Toby) Sanavongxay, and Gabrielle Stiles; great-grandchildren, Joy and Sidney Sanavongxay.

A Memorial Mass will take place on Saturday, June 3rd at 1:00, St. Joseph’s Church, 206 E. Front St., Harvard, IL. Immediately following, please join the family to share memories at an Open House at the Heritage House from 2:30 to 4:30.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Foundation for Lewy Body Dementia through their website: https://lbda.org or https://lbda.org/donate.

OBITUARIES | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

EMILE R. GELINAS

One of his proudest accomplishments while on the board was getting a major school referendum passed after two previously failed attempts and some hostile opposition.

He was a faithful member of St. Joseph’s Church, where he served on several committees and considered Msgr. J. Healey a friend.

He was also an enthusiastic member of a few informal groups, such as “POKER CLUB” with buddies including Joe and Tony DeMay, as well as a food and wine tasting group. He loved music, from Sinatra to opera. Highlights in his life were hearing Pavarotti sing in Milan, Italy, and at a private performance in San Francisco.

Emile had more “joie de vivre” than anyone! He was the true Santa Claus, delighting in Christmas like a child and would often shop for the holiday up until the stores closed on Christmas Eve (but Rosie was tasked with wrapping). His generosity extended to many outside the family, especially during the holiday season.

Shopping was a true past time – he did all the grocery shopping – and shopping plus eating plus sports was as good as it got. Many trips were taken to Chicago over the years to enjoy these pursuits, which of course included Laurie and David and often their friends as well. To say Emile was an avid sports fan is an understatement, he so loved the Cubbies and the Blackhawks.

Sunday evening dining at the Bismark Hotel followed by a Hawks game was always a favorite. On several occasions, he even traveled to see the Cubs play out-of-town games.

He was a proud and doting grandfather who couldn’t wait to take his grand-girls out for a special treat when he visited.

With Emile’s retirement in 1989 he and Rosie began a new life in Palm Springs, California, where they made many friends and were part of a very lively social group.

Many were snowbirds, but Emile and Rosie stayed year-round. Instead of spending his days playing golf, Emile became the resident “go-to” guy of the Home Owners Association answering problem phone calls and checking others’ condos in their absence (he had a key for almost everyone’s) and working with the groundskeepers to ensure that their community retained its beauty.

He and one groundskeeper, Oscar, became a team and over the years Oscar and his family came to be a special “second family” to Emile.

For over 20 years Emile volunteered at Desert Regional Med Center.

Emile unexpectedly lost Rosie in 2008, but managed well on his own until 2015, when he moved to Walla Walla to be near his daughter Laurie and her husband.

Along with his generosity, he was known for his boundless enthusiasm, sense of humor, devotion to family and friends and a soft spot for dogs!

In addition to his parents and wife, Rosemary; he was predeceased by his sister, Irene; and foster son, Bill Walkup.

He is survived by his daughter, Lauren

Schools: ‘Dire decisions’ could come without state budget

AURORA – Superintendents in hundreds of Illinois school districts are imploring lawmakers and the governor to end the state’s budget stalemate, with one official saying schools could face “dire decisions” if a deal isn’t made.

Nearly 400 districts statewide are involved in an effort being driven by school leaders in Aurora, Naperville, Elgin and Sandoval, The Aurora Beacon-News reported.

Some schools are using their marquees, while others are using social media to draw

el of care may have cut short the lives of some inmates.

The Corrections Department, which oversees about 49,000 inmates, argued the report provided an incomplete picture of the “comprehensive medical system in place” in Illinois facilities. Researchers reviewed records from a sample of 63 prisoner deaths over several years and said they found “significant lapses” in care in 60 percent of those cases.

In one case outlined in the report, a 48-year-old prisoner pleaded for medical help after he began coughing up blood. But it took six months for physicians at the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg to locate a softball-size tumor in his chest, the report stated.

He died four months later.

Researchers stated that “the blatant disregard for this patient’s obvious symptoms ... is stunning.”

Lawyers for the state opposed class-action status, arguing in court filings that the inmates who sued received proper medical care. They also stated there would be no “objective, administratively feasible way to determine which inmates have serious medical or dental needs” and that the department doesn’t keep a list of inmates who would meet the criteria.

Corrections Department spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said Saturday that the agency cannot comment on pending litigation and had nothing to add beyond the court filings.

The case is next scheduled to be in federal court in Chicago on May 16.

attention to the issues.

“You have to put the horse in front of the cart, and that’s our state budget,” West Aurora Superintendent Jeff Craig said.

“And it’s coming to a point that if our state doesn’t pass a state budget, we will have to make some dire decisions.”

School districts are receiving state aid this year, though some say they’re owed millions of dollars by the state for services such as transportation, special education, and free lunch programs.

Craig said that without a budget, a new school-funding formula won’t happen and missed payments won’t come. District officials said the state owes $10 million to the district in quarterly payments for so far for 2017.

State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, an Aurora Democrat, said money set aside for districts’ quarterly payments for services

hasn’t come through because of the backlog of bills in Springfield.

“It’s a general budget issue, bigger than education,” she said.

the two officers tried to secure a patio space in the jail’s maximum security section.

The inmates charged are 19-year-old David Bush, 20-year-old Taiwan McNeal and 20-year-old Terrence Lynom. They are scheduled to appear in bond court Sunday.

CHICAGO – A lawsuit against the Illinois Department of Corrections alleging inadequate health care in state prisons may cover all inmates with serious medical needs in every prison facility, a judge ruled.

The Friday decision by U.S. District Judge Jorge Alonso means thousands of inmates could be affected by the class-action lawsuit, which claims medical and dental care provided by the Corrections Department doesn’t meet minimum constitutional standards. It also could require the state to make changes at more than two dozen prison facilities if the court ultimately finds in favor of the inmates.

Lawyers for the American Civil

Liberties Union of Illinois, which filed the long-standing lawsuit on behalf of several inmates, applauded the ruling.

“The system of providing health care to prisoners in Illinois is broken and must be fixed,” staff attorney Camille Bennett said. “Until today, advocates looking to fix this broken system have been forced to seek redress for one person at a time. Allowing this action to move forward on behalf of the entire class of prisoners means that the solutions must be systemic.”

A 2015 report by court-approved researchers after visits to eight Illinois prisons found treatment delays, poor record keeping, haphazard follow-up care and other serious problems. The 405-page report concluded that the lev-

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS

Trump: China pressuring the soccer stadium in suburban N. Korea on missile, nukes Cairo where Mass was held, SEOUL, South Korea – President Donald Trump said in a television interview to be aired Sunday that he believes China’s president has been putting pressure on North Korea as it pursues its missile and nuclear weapons programs.

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Trump said he won’t be happy if North Korea conducts a nuclear test and that he believes Chinese President Xi Jinping won’t be happy, either.

Asked whether that means military action, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

On Saturday, a North Korean mid-range ballistic missile apparently failed shortly after launch, South Korea and the United States said, the third test-fire flop just this month but a clear message of defiance as a U.S. supercarrier conducts drills in nearby waters.

Pope’s Egypt visit comforts Christians

CAIRO – Pope Francis wrapped up a brief but deeply symbolic visit to Egypt on Saturday with an open-air Mass for the country’s tiny Catholic community, defying security concerns to show his support for the Christians of this Muslim majority Arab nation who have increasingly become targeted by Islamic militants.

Military helicopters flew overhead and police fanned out in force as Francis zoomed around

using an open-topped golf cart and waving to members of the congregation, evidence of his hallmark desire to be close to his flock at all costs.

In his homily, Francis urged them to be good and merciful to their fellow Egyptians, saying “the only fanaticism believers can have is that of charity!”

Hacker releases stolen copies of Netflix series

SAN FRANCISCO – A hacker claims to have followed through on a threat to release several episodes from the upcoming season of Netflix’s hit series “Orange Is The New Black.”

The hacker, who goes by the name The Dark Overlord, announced the move on Twitter early Saturday. The post included a link to an illegal file-sharing service where purportedly 10 episodes from the series’ upcoming fifth season were available for download. The Associated Press could not legally confirm the authenticity of the uploaded files.

New episodes of “Orange” are scheduled for official release on June 9. Pirated copies of the series’ episodes could dent Netflix’s subscriber growth and the company’s stock price. Earlier, Netflix said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios suffered a breach.

100 days in, Trump says he’s brought about ‘profound change’

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. – President Donald Trump on Saturday marked his 100th day in office by claiming historic action on his agenda, renewing promises on health care and taxes and attacking the news media for misleading Americans.

In his morning radio address, Trump issued an assurance: “My only allegiance is to you, our wonderful citizens.” To supporters at an evening rally in Pennsylvania, he promoted American power and patriotism while emphasizing such priorities as American manufacturing, better trade deals, a border wall with Mexico and a still-to-be defined tax cut plan.

“We are not going to let other countries take advantage of us anymore,” he said in Harrisburg at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center. “From now on it’s going to be America first.”

Trump’s 100th day events were set in a politically important state that he won with 48 percent of the vote. It was the first time Pennsylvania had voted for a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Trump visited the AMES Companies in Pennsylvania’s Cumberland County, a shovel manufacturer since 1774. With that backdrop, he signed an executive order directing the Commerce Department and the U.S. trade representative to conduct a study of U.S. trade agreements. The goal is to determine whether America is being treated fairly by its trading partners and the 164-nation World Trade Organization.

Trump’s rally Saturday night in Harrisburg offered a familiar recapitulation of

what he and aides have argued for days are administration successes, including the successful nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, his Cabinet choices and the approval of construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

But the president began the rally on a sour note, pointing out that he was not attending that night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and issuing a scathing attack on the news media. To cheers, he accused the news media of “fake news” and said if their job was to be honest and tell the truth, then they deserved “a big, fat failing grade.”

“I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles way from Washington’s swamp,” he said, “spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people, right?”

Meanwhile, North Korea’s missile launch Saturday signaled its continued defiance against the U.S., China and other nations, on which Trump tweeted: “Bad!” Asked during an interview for CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether military action would follow a nuclear test by the North, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

At the 100-day mark, polls show that Trump’s supporters during the campaign remain largely in his corner. Though the White House created a website touting its accomplishments of the first 100 days, Trump has tried to downplay the importance of the marker, perhaps out of recognition that many of his campaign promises have gone unfulfilled.

“It’s a false standard, 100 days,” Trump said while signing an executive order on Friday, “but I have to tell you, I don’t think anybody has done what we’ve been able to do in 100 days, so we’re very happy.”

at the Maine State House in Augusta.

Speakers included a lobsterman, a solar company owner and members of the Penobscot Nation tribe.

“I’ve seen firsthand the impacts of climate change to not only the Gulf of Maine, but also to our evolving fisheries, and to the coastal communities that depend upon them,” said lobsterman Richard Nelson of Friendship, Maine.

People in the crowd spoke about the importance of addressing climate change to industries such as renew-

able energy, forestry, farming and seafood. Saharlah Farah, a 16-yearold immigrant from Somalia who lives in Portland, talked about how climate change could have a bigger toll on marginalized groups that have less financial resources.

“But I see untapped power here today,” she said.

A demonstration stretched for several blocks in downtown Tampa, Florida, where marchers said they were concerned about the threat rising seas pose to the city.

SEATTLE – Thousands of people across the U.S. marched in rain, snow and sweltering heat Saturday to demand action on climate change – mass protests that coincided with President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office and took aim at his agenda for rolling back environmental protections.

At the marquee event, the Peoples Climate March in Washington, D.C., tens of thousands of demonstrators made their way down Pennsylvania Avenue on their way to encircle the White House as temperatures soared into the 90s.

Organizers said about 300 sister marches or rallies were being held around the country, including in Seattle, Boston and San Francisco. A wet spring snow fell in Denver, where several hundred activists posed in the shape of a giant thermometer for a photograph and a dozen people rode stationary bikes to power the loudspeakers. In Chicago, a rain-soaked crowd of thousands headed from the city’s federal plaza to Trump Tower.

“We are here because there is no Planet B,” the Rev. Mariama White-Hammond of Bethel AME

Church told a rally in Boston.

The demonstrations came one week after supporters of science gathered in 600 cities around the globe, alarmed by political and public rejection of established research on topics including climate change and the safety of vaccines.

Participants Saturday said they object to Trump’s rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other things. Trump has called climate change a hoax, disputing the overwhelming consensus of scientists that the world is warming and that manmade carbon emissions are primarily to blame.

Among those attending the Chicago rally were members of the union representing Environmental Protection Agency employees. Trump has proposed cutting the EPA’s budget by almost one-third, eliminating more than 3,000 jobs.

John O’Grady, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, called the march “a chance to speak out in unity against this administration” and its “ridiculous gutting of the EPA budget and staffing.”

More than 2,000 people gathered

Thousands brave weather to protest Trump climate policies

L.A. peace parades mark the 25th anniversary of King riots

By ROBERT JABLON The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Twenty-five years ago, a jury acquitted four white police officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King, sparking looting and violence that would turn into one of the deadliest race riots in American history.

On Saturday, hundreds of people marked the anniversary with marches advocating peace and hope.

A “Future Fest” began at Florence and Normandie avenues – the South Los Angeles intersection where rioting erupted – and was followed by a community festival.

Organizer Eric Ares, 34, is a lifelong resident of the area. He remembers the electricity going out in his house at the start of the rioting, leaving his family essentially cut off from the outside world without lights or a TV. “For the next couple of nights, there was this fear going on,” he said. “We were huddled up in the living room.”

When he did venture outside, Ares saw plumes of smoke coming from places where buildings had been torched.

But a small restaurant on the corner, a

liquor store and other local businesses were untouched, he said.

People had a “real feeling of anger and frustration,” but it was mainly directed at police, politicians and businesses they believed oppressed, neglected or exploited them, Ares said.

Graffiti on walls warned: “No justice, no peace,” he said.

“I remember being at the park on the third day, people screaming: ‘We’re not gonna let them do it to us anymore,’ ” Ares said.

But while the march and festival marks the events of a quarter-century ago, the commemoration also looked to a future where community organizations are working to deal with problems still confronting South L.A., Ares said.

“There’s still extreme poverty.

There’s still issues of law enforcement ... education and health care and access to good jobs,” he said. “But the difference is, we have a plan.”

About 5 miles north of the intersection, a peace parade was held in the Koreatown neighborhood, where tensions between black residents and Korean-American immigrant storekeepers led to markets, shops and gas stations being looted or burned.

OUR VIEW

Lake in the Hills reviews were flawed The Lake in the Hills Village Board wanted to keep secret the reasons behind the exit of the village’s longtime administrator.

While Village President Paul Mulcahy heaped praise on Gerald Sagona when Sagona resigned last summer after more than 20 years, the Village Board was working to keep the truth from taxpayers.

Even after the Illinois Attorney General’s Office told the village to comply with state law and release public records to the Northwest Herald, the village held them back for months.

Why should residents settle for a government that plays games with public information and seeks to dodge the public’s right to know?

The Lake in the Hills Village Board must start being transparent instead of merely paying lip service to the idea.

The board also should adopt new standards for reviewing the village’s highest-paid employee to ensure past leadership mistakes aren’t repeated.

If they don’t already, reviews of the village administrator’s performance should include assessments from department heads and other direct reports.

So called 360-degree feedback could have prevented a lot of frustration and costly turnover.

Sagona never received a negative performance review from the village’s elected officials. His supporters laud his contributions to the community during his 20 years of service.

But last summer, administrative staff who report to him sent the board a letter complaining of Sagona’s “abhorrent, undignified, embarrassing and degrading” conduct. The board responded by putting Sagona on administrative leave, and he resigned shortly thereafter.

In response to questions from the Northwest Herald, Sa-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

gona defended his work, noting, “My performance was always judged at a ‘superior or commendable’ level in each written evaluation reviewed with me over my 20 years of service.”

Clearly, the village’s performance review process didn’t work. Complaints from employees about Sagona’s management style went unresolved.

Mulcahy, the village president, has said there were indications that Sagona had difficulty working with other employees. Mulcahy said he tried to work with Sagona to address the problems.

The employee letter notes that twice, in 2013 and 2015, attempts to fix problems with Sagona were “unsuccessful.”

Sagona was responsible for a high turnover in the village’s staff, and the village had difficulty in replacing management positions because of the reputation Sagona had in the field, the letter said.

“This turnover has resulted in lost time, the expenditure of unnecessary resources and additional pressures on remaining staff,” employees wrote in the letter. “It is only expected to continue.”

They wrote: “We can no longer ignore the risk of harm his unwanted conduct and unpredictable behavior has upon our mental and physical health; each of us reports experiencing undue stress and anxiety working under his direction.”

Most jarring in light of the letter from employees was Mulcahy’s decision to write a letter of recommendation for Sagona to get another job.

For some reason we can’t understand, Mulcahy saw fit to recommend Sagona’s expertise to others after helping to push him out the door at the behest of village employees fed up with Sagona’s behavior.

That’s deceptive.

Give charter schools a chance Charter schools are proving their mettle yet again. In the new U.S. News & World Report rankings of the nation’s top public high schools, charters took six of the top 10 spots – including first, second, third and fifth place.

Impressive: Charters represent a fraction of the nation’s public high schools. Many serve low-income, inner-city kids – and compete against well-funded high schools in wealthy suburban areas.

The 2017 rankings, released Tuesday, cover 22,000 high schools, with rankings based on state test results and graduates’ college readiness. Charters and magnet schools made up 60 of the top 100, with BASIS charters in Arizona claiming four of the top five spots.

Here in the city, KIPP Academy in The Bronx came in 10th among charters and 29th among all U.S. high schools. Keep it up, KIPP! This news echoes other findings that show charters outpacing regular public schools, especially in urban areas. Here in the city, charters consistently beat out their traditional-school counterparts not only in their own districts, but also throughout the state.

A 2015 study by Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that urban charter schools “provide significantly higher levels of annual growth in both math and reading” than their traditional-school counterparts. And those gains are “larger by significant amounts for black, Hispan-

ic, low-income, and special education students in both math and reading.”

What explains charters’ success? Well, they’re largely free of government bureaucracy. And their teachers and staff are rarely unionized.

And while not all charters do well, it’s far easier to shut down bad ones than those run by government – and unions.

Team Trump has wisely touted charters and other “schools of choice.” But Mayor Bill de Blasio and his allies in the state Assembly have done all they can to halt charter growth here.

In his view, crushing the competition takes priority over having the best schools. Unions win; kids lose.

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.

Thank you, Marines

To the Editor: Recently after shopping at the McHenry Jewel and placing my groceries in the car trunk, I couldn’t get my car started.

No matter what I tried, I could not get it going. I noticed some gentlemen from the Marine Corps League accepting donations for their worthwhile organization in front of the Jewel. Since my husband had been in the Marine Corps during the Korean conflict, I thought they might help me. Several of them tried to help start the car, but nothing worked. The car has since been repaired, but I wanted to publicly thank them for their help and especially my guardian angel, Tony Handzel of the Marine Corps League, who graciously drove me home and helped me with my groceries.

Gasser will be missed

To The Editor: Congratulations to Andrew Gasser on keeping his promise to the electorate

…

The best of it

Despite the president’s “enemy of the people” labeling, with its autocratic overtones, and chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon’s insistence that the press is the opposition party, most reporters have simply dug in and done their jobs.

“To a large degree, the press has responded to the aggressive, combative and sometimes abusive tone of the president with more resolve than we’ve seen in years – probably since

when he made the promise he would not be a “double dipper.” As we know, Mr. Gasser resigned from the county board last week and will be our new Algonquin Township highway commissioner. I have attended a few meetings, and I have been lucky to experience the professionalism, openness, honesty and his willingness to work with so many people.

Andrew spoke out against politician pension plans when it was politically incorrect to do so. Andrew fought for the Non-Dedicated Roads (NDR) program. It took some time, but now that program is finally starting to bear fruit. The Edwards Street Bridge in Vancian Gardens is now a priority. Finally, Andrew worked with Republicans and Democrats and co-authored the first-of-its-kind tax reduction resolution. Andrew never voted for a tax increase and has shown true leadership on lowering McHenry County’s portion of our tax bill.

Andrew will be missed on the county board. We hope the McHenry County Republican Party will have foresight and put forward someone who shares Andrew’s philosophies of fiscal

[President Richard] Nixon’s second term,” said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. If the tone of the reporting seems alarmed, he said, that’s probably less about the reporters and more about the sources who are leaking to them – the Washington establishment, many of whom are Republicans.

“On background and off the record, these people are in something of a state of panic,” he said. “They are frightened and alarmed by what they perceive to real questions of competence in the Trump administration and to a lesser extent ideological extremism. And these sources are leaking to reporters at a volume I have never seen and with a candor that is striking even to the reporters.”

Russian meddling in the election, and Russian connections to Trump associates, are prevailing media topics. A Washington Post story on national security adviser Michael Flynn’s talks with the Russian ambassador about lifting sanctions led to his dismissal in February, and the Post, with others, has continued to unearth the Russian connections.

The New York Times, collaborating with investigative nonprofit ProPublica, provided an in-depth look at hundreds of appointments across

the federal bureaucracy, noting that the list “is striking for how many former lobbyists it contains.” HuffPost’s crowdsourced project revealed an error-ridden donor report by Trump’s Inaugural Committee to the Federal Election Commission.

Fact-checking also has thrived, George Washington University’s Nikki Usher said.

“Institutional media – and CNN in particular – is doing a really good job making it obvious when Trump lies,” often with the use of chyrons, she said. (The Post Fact Checker has a 100 Days compilation of Trump’s false and misleading statements.)

Countering the deserved rap that journalism was out of touch with the heartland, news organizations have made some adjustments – staffing up bureaus, forming new desks and sending reporters out to do stories in places they undercovered before.

Usher again: “There’s been a fairly genuine attempt to figure out the blind spots that ‘missed’ the rise of Trump.”

quickly by Justin of the clergy staff to a room away from me. There, Justin stayed with my husband and waited for our two daughters to arrive. Justin took diligent notes from the physician, Dr. Chang, and relayed the information accurately to my family as they arrived.

All the staff during my week at McHenry Centegra hospital were a blessing. From the physician care, to the nursing staff, to the housekeeping & cafeteria staff, each of them deserves a commendation.

Thank you again for your commitment to excellence.

Eons ago – yes, way back before Jan. 20 – I urged the American press to “scrutinize, not normalize” the actions of the new administration.

Given the unusual background of President Donald Trump, and his campaign pledges to tear down government as we know it, that seemed a necessity.

Now, as the president’s first 100 days are being evaluated, it’s fair to ask: What about the news media’s first 100 days?

Granted, it’s a ridiculous question in some ways, because “the media” is hard to define or generalize about.

(Are we talking about BuzzFeed or Breitbart News? The New York Times or Fox News or the Arizona Republic?)

But because the answer matters, I’ll take a shot at it here, with the help of some expert media observers. We considered the mainstream media: the cable and broadcast TV networks, national newspapers, and some significant digital outlets, and to a smaller extent, local news organizations.

Overall, the coverage since Jan. 20 has been better than what we saw before Nov. 8. (While lifted by some excellent work, that pre-election cov-

erage was indelibly marred by Acela Corridor insularity, hideous gobs of false equivalency, and a fatal addiction to hype over substance.)

On election night, I called the news media’s performance an epic fail on grounds of cluelessness alone. And last fall, when asked by Poynter Institute to grade campaign coverage, I handed out a D for early coverage and a C as the election neared. I won’t offer a grade this time, but maybe a handwritten note: “Shows improvement.”

We’ve scrutinized and normalized in almost equal proportion. For every great scoop, there’s been an embarrassing moment of declaring the president statesmanlike for giving a speech without a history-making gaffe.

BUSINESS

Is now the time to buy in McHenry County?

Of course, that’s a very personal decision that should start with a discussion about a family’s long-term goals which would include financial decisions, a look at job stability, access to employment, as well as future cash needs for things like upgrading vehicles and education expenses.

Think, too, about possible raises that may or may not be anticipated. Contacting your financial adviser, lender and real estate agent are all good things to do, as well.

However, the larger question is often: “What are interest rates likely to do?”

The experts had predicted rates to increase throughout 2017 and yet the market has shown a recent decrease after initial increases. In fact, mortgage interest rates aren’t far from their 2017 low. Thirty-year fixed rates – a very popular mortgage option – are hovering just below 4 percent currently for a conventional loan with 5 percent down and good credit scores (720-plus).

Don’t forget, however, that FHA loans can offer many purchasers as little as 3 percent down; add on another $2,000 or so for closing costs and other associated expenses and many people can purchase a modest “first time home buyer property” for

VIEWS Jim Haisler as low as $5,000. This is the lower end.

Putting down more money can also reduce your long-term fees, such as private mortgage insurance (PMI) – a fee that is added onto one’s monthly mortgage payment.

In some cases, a buyer may even ask a seller to assist by paying some of the closing costs for them. This is likely to come with an increased purchase price, but if a buyer is strapped for cash this might be a way to get into a property.

Another factor to the question about buying is: “Do you have a home to sell first?” While this can be a burden, it may also prove to your benefit if the shortage of inventory, also known as a lack of housing available for sale, causes your current home to be worth more than you might have thought.

On average, McHenry County has seen a 6 to 8 percent rise in housing values over last year’s values.

Frequent readers of this column know that I much prefer to look at Month’s Supply of Inventory (MSI)

versus average price. In March, the county’s MSI grew slightly to 3.4 from 3.2 in February and 3.3 in January.

Again, this means that if homes keep coming on the market at the rate they have in the past month and if properties keep selling at their current rate, that we’d run out of inventory (homes) within 3.4 months. While that will never actually happen, it is an indicator, or trend line, worth watching.

Average price is far too susceptible to what other properties are doing and doesn’t properly reflect if your home is appreciating or not.

For instance, if no expensive homes sell in a particular month, the average price will drop on all properties. Conversely, if several large properties sell, it would raise the average price. Neither of these situations might have any actual effect on your home’s value, however.

Market time has also dropped significantly from last March, when it was 126 days on the market, to just 105 in March 2017. This should indicate that properties that are priced right for their condition are selling faster.

There is also anecdotal evidence from agents who are seeing more multiple offers this year than in the past.

This indicates the market is heating up and now is a good time to sell.

But, back to buyers, if someone plans on purchasing a property, they really need to have their ducks in a row.

They should have already met with a lender to be pre-approved, not just pre-qualified, which is usually done on a half hour or so phone call.

Pre-approval requires that conversation and all of the subsequent requested paperwork be submitted and reviewed, pending only your final property decision so the appraisal can be ordered and final underwriting can be processed.

Think of it this way, would you want to look at properties that might be available for sale or those that are available for sale? Sellers, too, only want buyers coming through their property that are ready to buy, not those that might be ready. Contact your financial adviser, your lender and, of course, a real estate agent for their expert opinions.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey than three or four months of expenses stashed away would worry me. That’s the way you’ve got to look at it. Just use a little common sense with the numbers.

I’d love for you to put down 20 percent because you’d avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), which runs about $75 a month per $100,000 borrowed. It costs you a lot of money if you don’t put down 20 percent. You should try to do that if possible, but don’t be irresponsible with your emergency fund in the process.

Your emergency fund, when it’s there, tends to keep emergencies away. When it’s not there, you have a tendency to attract emergencies and

Dear Dave: My wife and I are debtfree, and we’re ready to start building our first home. We’re a little short on cash to make the 20 percent down payment you recommend, but we do have a fully funded emergency fund in place.

Would it be OK to take a little out of our emergency fund to make up the difference? – Chris Dear Chris: Well, you didn’t give me exact numbers here. I don’t know how short a little short is, and I don’t know how big your emergency fund is.

If you use a little of your emergency fund to round off the 20 percent and then you have an emergency, where are you going to be?

I recommend always having three to six months of expenses set aside for emergencies. If you’ve got $50,000 in your emergency fund and you use $10,000 of it, you’ll be fine. But anything that leaves you with less

Daughter throws in the towel on fighting mother’s grudge Dear Abby: Six years ago, not long after I announced to my family I was going to be married, my parents decided to divorce because Dad had been cheating on Mom. Because I allowed him to walk me down the aisle, she didn’t attend my wedding. I was extremely hurt by it, but decided to forgive and forget.

Unfortunately, my mother could not do that.

For the last six years, she has ignored my phone calls and text messages. I have sent cards and gifts for birthdays, Christmas and Mother’s Day and received no acknowledgment (although she does generally send me a generic birthday or Christmas card).

We were very close before all this started, and I have tried reaching out to her in every way I know how.

What makes this even more awkward is she lives a stone’s throw away, and my teenage daughter is close with her.

If I’m outside when she drops my daughter off, she hides her face or pulls up in front of a big tree in my

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips yard so she can’t see me.

Cutting family out of her life is a pattern for her. My mother hasn’t spoken to her own father in almost 50 years, and out of her six siblings, she speaks to only one.

She cut her own mother out of her life for years until Grandma was on her deathbed.

With Mom’s birthday coming up, I’m at the point where I think I’m done sending cards and gifts to someone who can’t acknowledge me and blatantly hides from me. What do you think? – Castoff In Illinois Dear Castoff: Sending the greeting cards is a minimal way to maintain contact, and you could continue doing it. But if you’re really done, you’re done.

Dear Abby: After 34 years of marriage, I realized I must “earn the right” to have sex. This morning I

agreed to go to a particular movie my wife wants me to see with her in exchange for sex.

I now recognize this trading started years ago, and I just let it slide. But now I realize what I call “trading for favors” has entered other aspects of our relationship: “Do this for me, and I’ll do that for you.”

I have a pretty thick skin, but more and more, I’m concluding this is a game I’d rather not play. Can you give me any advice as to where we can go for help? I have no problem involving her in any solution. – Must

Earn The Right Dear Must Earn The Right: I agree

your wife must be a part of the solution to your problem. Because the old “pay for play” no longer suits you, the place to seek help would be the office of a licensed marriage counselor.

I wish you luck, because decades-old dynamics oftentimes can be hard to change.

Dear Abby: My best friend “Jennifer’s” mom recently passed away. I was with her through the entire pro-

cess. While cleaning out her mother’s home, Jennifer asked to store some things in my garage.

Of course I agreed. She’s unable to store her mother’s things because she lives in a small apartment. It has been three weeks now.

My question to you is, what is proper etiquette when asking a friend how long she wants me to store her mother’s belongings? – Storage Eti-

quette In The East Dear Etiquette: If keeping Jennifer’s

belongings in your garage is creating a problem for you, this is a question you should have asked before agreeing she could move them in.

Since you didn’t, and I assume you will want your garage back at some point, set a deadline and tell your friend in plenty of time so she can make other arrangements for storing them.

If you don’t, you could find yourself holding them indefinitely.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Your insight into others’ thoughts or plans will put you in a favorable position.

Understanding and patience will help you resolve issues that affect you as well as your loved ones or neighbors. An opportunity to excel will be granted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get together with friends, relatives or people who share the same concerns as you. The input you offer will be appreciated. Don’t be afraid to do things differently.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Refuse to let someone or something from your past stand in the way.

Taking control of any situation you face will do

you good and encourage you to excel.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Put your time and energy into something you enjoy. Indulging in a creative hobby, attending a trade show or taking better care of your health and well-being is a good place to start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be open to suggestions.

An interest in health and physical fitness will give you a sense of strength and power. Make decisions that will encourage you to enhance your best attributes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Use your creative imagination when searching for personal solutions. Find out the truth before you make accusations. Answers can be found if you are understanding and tolerant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Situations will get blown out of proportion quickly if you haven’t paid close attention to detail or others’ actions. If you don’t like something, say so immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Personal changes look inviting. Choose to do something different or to take on a new and exciting lifestyle. Attending a retreat or making travel plans that emphasize peace and quiet are favored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An investment or joint venture someone proposes is likely to favor him- or herself rather than you. Negotiate to equalize the prospects, or decline and proceed to do your own thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Share stories with people you haven’t talked to in a long time. Make

changes to your home or lifestyle that will bring you joy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Personal changes will raise your confidence and attract attention.

Put personal matters first and make plans that include your family, loved ones and friends. A physical challenge will do you good.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Look at your current situation at work and home. If you don’t like what’s happening, do something about it. Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let your emotions spin out of control. Be careful when dealing with people putting demands on you or using emotional manipulation. Don’t feel guilty about knowing enough to walk away.

‘Success breeds success’

Area schools’ pole vault prowess inspires others to rise to their level

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com The Fox Valley Conference stood proudly, its chest protruding, last May 28 in Charleston at the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet.

The list of Class 3A pole vault finalists contained 20 names, one-quarter of whom were from the FVC. Crystal Lake Central’s Brandon Dahl took fourth, Crystal Lake South’s Sam Peschke finished seventh.

McHenry’s Kevin Szamlewski narrowly missed a medal in 11th, while Huntley’s Jacob Riese and Rafael Rivera also competed in the finals. That moment served as further evidence, along with the considerable number of state medalists, both boys and girls since 2007, that the McHenry County area is thriving when it comes to the pole vault.

Since 2007, the area has produced one state champion (Woodstock’s Jon Walsh in Class 2A in 2012) and four runners-up. Almost every year the boys and girls records at the McHenry County and FVC meets are threatened, if not broken.

Dahl and Szamlewski broke the county meet record last year, each clearing 14-9. Peschke broke that last week with a 15-1, a height he had to make or risk losing to Riese, who had made 14-7 with fewer misses.

McHenry assistant coach Mike Quinnett, whose specialty is vault, has had several state-caliber vaulters. The Warriors’ Corey Szamlewski was second in 3A in 2010; girls vaulter Savannah Howie was 3A runner-up last year.

“Success breeds success,” Quinnett said. “When kids start getting better, then other kids in the area start to say, ‘Why can’t I do that?’ That’s what I think it is. You get some kids going high, all of a sudden everyone elevates their level.”

McHenry, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Huntley and Woodstock North (now in the Kishwaukee River Conference) have been the area’s best at vaulting, usually because those schools have an assistant, like Quinnett, who is knowledgeable at coaching one of track and field’s most difficult events.

Peschke thinks the whole atmosphere around the FVC is advantageous.

“Every coach at every school in our conference helps every kid, no matter what school they’re from,” Peschke said. “I’ve gotten a lot of help from coach Q. at McHenry, I have four of his poles right now. It’s really a collaborative thing. We help kids out from Central, trading poles, helping each other with form and everything. It’s kind of a community thing.”

summer before her freshman year. Uidl took sixth in the 2A vault at the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet last year.

“So much of it is mental,” Uidl said. “I think the physical stuff is the easiest part. For me, keeping my head on straight and just focusing is the hardest part.”

“I was already a little bit of a daredevil, doing flips and stuff in the air,” Fisher said. “A person who doesn’t have that background kind of needs to have that daredevil mentality and start doing it.”

Riese had an advantage with Huntley, which has the pole vault in its middle school programs. His

It’s about technique

‘It’s pretty surreal’

Peschke learned that he had vaulting in his genes. His grandfather, Curtis Wilson, vaulted in high school and Peschke has Wilson’s old steel pole in his garage.

When Peschke tried out as a freshman, he showed some vault aptitude right away.

“I was natural enough to stay with it,” Peschke said.

“I didn’t crash and burn.

My freshman year I got 10-9, which was good. It wasn’t until the next year or last year where I pulled ahead of anybody. I liked it so I stayed with it.”

There are more opportunities available for vaulters to practice. Fisher talked about working even more this offseason after just missing a medal last year. Peschke said he did a lot of offseason training and drove to Bloom High School in Chicago Heights most Sundays.

Peschke says the season itself is too short, necessitating the offseason work.

In the moments when everything comes together, all the training and effort is worth it. The pole vault can provide a beautiful sight as the vaulter’s feet point toward the sky and he or she soars over the bar, while everyone holds their breath waiting to see the bar remain atop the standards.

“When you’re getting to the pole and things are going well, it can be a lot of fun,” Peschke said. “It’s pretty surreal. You get a lot of confidence when it’s about to work. When you’re not getting through your pole, on the other hand, it can be a scary feeling, because you don’t know where you’re going to land when you come back down. But generally, it’s pretty cool. It’s definitely a different feeling than anything else.”

Coaches often can spot athletes for certain events by their body types. Slender kids may be distance runners, those with more muscular builds are sprinters, tall and lanky types might hurdle, and throwers just kind of naturally stick out.

Vaulters are different.

South assistant coach Rich Eschman has coached for more than 25 years, with the pole vault as an area of expertise. But for all his experience and knowledge, he still doesn’t know until he sees for himself.

Eschman has aspiring vaulters push themselves up and try to kick a bungee cord.

After a few weeks, if they can’t kick the bungee, Eschman kindly suggests they try a different event.

“Some kids come in, pick up a pole and kick the bungee,” Eschman said. “And it’s ‘OK, you can stay here, because you’re not afraid to put your feet above your head.’ I don’t know what it is about them that allows them to do that, because I can’t do it. I don’t know what the rhymes or reasons are.”

And Eschman adds that good vaulters don’t necessarily have to be extremely gifted physically.

“I’ve seen guys who really, if you were to put them on the track, they wouldn’t be able to help you,” Eschman said.

“They’re not fast, they can’t jump. Most people think to be a vaulter you have to be this freak athlete, but there are so many guys who have studied the vault and technique-wise have figured it out.”

For instance, while Peschke runs some sprints and relays for the Gators, senior Peter Polizos does not.

mother, Jeananne, urged him to take it up in the seventh grade, he thinks because of the risk-taking tendencies of his youth.

“That definitely made a difference,” Riese said. “I don’t know if I would be a pole vaulter if we didn’t have it in middle school. If you really enjoy something you want to keep doing it. It’ll drive you to be better and better. You can focus if you love it.”

help South score on the track, yet Polizos vaulted 13-1 to take third at the McHenry County Meet.

Quinnett found his next girls vaulter in sophomore Jenna Pauly, who watched Howie take second at the county meet at 10-3. Pauly, who won the high jump, had been vaulting for four weeks.

“I have more girl vaulters now than I have guys,” Quinnett said. “That’s usually not the case. The girls don’t have the testosterone, they’re not the thrill-seekers.”

‘We gave it our all’

Locals help Sky High to 3rd-place finish at national tournament

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com Tears were shed, but that didn’t stop Sky High Volleyball’s Adidas 18 Black team from enjoying the moment and celebrating its latest accomplishment.

Four local players helped the Crystal Lake-based team to a bronze medal last weekend at the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships in Dallas, closing out their club careers in top form and ending the year as one of the top three teams in the country.

Sky High, which went 61-11 on the season, was seeded fifth entering the tournament and went undefeated in its first seven matches before losing in the semifinals to KC Power (Kansas City), 25-22, 18-25, 15-11.

KC Power went on to win the national title.

Local players for the 18 Black team were Marian Central’s Sydney Nemtuda (Florida Atlantic), Lauren Hanlon (Xavier) and McKayla Wuensch (Nevada), and Huntley’s Ally Dion (Southeast Missouri State).

Mikayla Robinson (South Carolina), the daughter of former Chicago Bears wide receiver Marcus Robinson, and Timber Terrell (Arkansas State) were named to the all-tournament team.

All 10 of the players on 18 Black will play at the collegiate level, including libero Morgan O’Brien (Illinois), Ashley Williams (Bowdoin), McKenna Lahr (Fordham) and Emma Patlovich (New Hampshire).

Sky High has won 11 national championships, as well as five second-place results and 11 third-place finishes with more than 80 All-American or all-tournament selections at the national level.

Adidas 18 Black played in the 18 Open Division, the highest and most competitive division at nationals.

“My expectations knowing my team was that we can win the entire thing,” said Sky High Executive Director and 18 Black coach Scott Harris, who started the club in 1989 along with his wife, Sherry.

“After each win, and when we got through the quarterfinals, we knew we weren’t that far off from a national championship, and we knew we could get it. We had just beaten (KC Power)

KC Power took a 7-1 lead in the third set of the semifinals and Sky High could not recover.

“We knew we could win the whole thing,” said Dion, the 2016 Northwest Herald Volleyball Player of the Year.

“We knew we could play with all of the top teams in the country. We weren’t the biggest team or most talented, but we had a lot of heart and drive. It’s an incredible feeling.

“We still played well (against KC Ally Dion, Power). We gave it our all, but it didn’t Sky High Volleyball 18 Black go our way in the end.”

“We knew we could play with all of the top teams in the country. We weren’t the biggest team or most talented, but we had a lot of heart and drive. It’s an incredible feeling”

This will be their last time playing together on club.

The nucleus of the 18 Black team has been together for two or three years, Harris said, and some players have been with the club since they were 10 or 11 years old.

Nemtuda said the team really came together this season and showed a sense of maturity, never counting themselves out in any match. In one match this year, they trailed 22-12 in a set and came back all the way to win.

“It was kind of like high school season all over again,” said Nemtuda, who also was on Marian Central’s Class 3A state runner-up in the fall.

“The only thing stopping us would be ourselves.

“Third in the nation is better than anything that we could had ever imagined. We ended up happy about it because our club team has never been this good before.

“That we got third was the most amazing feeling to end our club volleyball careers on.”

McHenry East grad Tonyan gets shot with Lions

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com At around 5:45 p.m. Saturday, just a few minutes after Denver made Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly the 253rd, and final, pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, Robert Tonyan received a phone call at his parents’ McHenry home.

There, surrounded by several friends and family members, Tonyan spoke with Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell and Lions tight ends coach Al Golden. Tonyan’s agent, Jack Bechta, had been in touch with the Lions throughout the day and had already agreed with the team that Tonyan would come to camp as an undrafted free agent.

Robert Tonyan was thrilled.

“I connected really well with Al Tonyan Golden at my Pro Day at Northwestern,” Tonyan said. “That kind of went into it. I grew a connection with him and I think that’s what it ultimately came down to, some people I was comfortable with in a good offense with a solid franchise quarterback (Matthew Stafford) that has stability.”

Tonyan, a 2012 McHenry East graduate, went to Indiana State as a quarterback, but switched to wide receiver. He left the Sycamores as No. 2 on their career reception list (150) and led the team in receiving as a junior and senior.

his position, but also possess more speed than many tight ends.

At 11 a.m. Saturday, Tonyan was joined by friends Shane Varvil, Jeff Nichols, Kyle Thompson and Gerry McMaster, along with trainers Chris Leathers and Kyle Fiedorowicz. C.J. Fiedorowicz, the Houston Texans tight end and Kyle’s brother, helped Tonyan along the way. Bechta is agent for both of them.

Tonyan knew he would go to camp somewhere, either as a draftee or an undrafted free agents.

“Stressful is one way to put it,” Tonyan said of Saturday.

“I had a good group of friends and family over supporting me. That meant a lot. I was stressed a lot, but I was never down about it, that I should have been drafted or whatnot. God always has a plan and Detroit is where me and Jack decided was the best opportunity for me to get preseason playing time and make a roster and earn a spot.”

As an undrafted free agent, Tonyan said there is Photo provided an advantage in picking your team. Bechta fielded Robert Tonyan, a 2012 graduate of McHenry East High calls from a couple of teams, but he and Tonyan preSchool, was No. 2 on the Indian State reception list as a ferred Detroit all along.

He will attend rookie camp on May 11 and likely wide receiver. Tonyan will go to the Detroit Lions camp as sign his contract at that time. an undrafted free agent.

“They said if they didn’t draft me they weren’t Tonyan (6-foot-5, 237 pounds) left school this se- taking another tight end,” Tonyan said. “It’s nice mester to work out and prepare for the draft. He will knowing that they have a plan for me and a spot to play tight end in the NFL, where he will be small for earn. I think I fell into the right place.”

Cohen has been a social media sensation for videos not only of his highlight reels, but also his ability to catch passes while making a backflip, something that came out of boredom one summer.

“We call him a joker back so really a good third-down back out of the backfield, can separate with his routes, really a dynamic player that dominated at that level,” Pace said. “Really excited to add him, one of those guys who’s really fun to watch.”

Only 5-foot-6, Cohen was extremely productive in college and an explosive runner. He thinks his diminutive frame should benefit him behind the

Bears’ O-line, where he has a skill set that complements the big, physical, downhill runner Jordan Howard well.

“I think [my size] will play a key role in helping me and benefiting me, because the linemen are going to be bigger, so it’s really going to be hard to see me behind my linemen and I can use that to my advantage,” Cohen said.

After taking Division II tight end Adam Shaheen on Friday night, the Bears returned to the D-2 ranks to take Morgan.

They know Morgan well after coaching him at the Senior Bowl. Morgan started 43 games at left tackle but projects as a guard in the NFL. His performance at the Senior Bowl

helped seal Morgan’s status in the draft and with the Bears.

“Another small school player but I think that Senior Bowl experience really cemented it for us, the kind of player that he is, we’re excited about adding him to our offensive line,” Pace said.

Morgan was unfazed by the competition he faced at the Senior Bowl and is ready for the trenches in the NFL. “At the end of the day football is football no matter what division or school you’re from, and that’s why I felt like I almost, I wouldn’t say I went in with a chip on my shoulder, but I went in with a great level of confidence because I believed that I could get the job done,” he said.

Shaheen’s coach describes how Bears TE achieved NFL goal

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com Going into the second-to-last game of his first year at Ashland University, Adam Shaheen didn’t have a catch.

In one play, the former basketball player showed everyone watching he could be special.

“We’re playing at Grand Valley State, it’s a big night game,” Ashland tight end coach Reggie Gamble recalled. “Adam catches a 10-yard over drag and he takes it another 45 yards and he’s stiff-arming a DB for about 25 of those yards and runs over a ref.

Everyone kind of looked at each other like, ‘Oh [expletive], why didn’t we get this kid the ball before?’

“That was Week 9, we thought, ‘what the hell have we been doing?’”

The highlight reel had begun, and when the Bears selected Shaheen 45th

overall on Friday night, fans scoured the internet to watch a man among boys who went from only two catches in 2014 to 70 and 10 touchdowns in 2015 and then 16 scores in 2016.

Gamble saw another play the next year that turned heads.

“He ran a 5-yard hitch route and caught the ball, spun out of it, made some corner miss and goes for 65 yards,” Gamble said. “That was in 2015 so at that point, it’s, oh [expletive], he’s out-running DBs and he’s the best receiver on our team. And he’s the biggest kid, turning into a serviceable blocker. and that’s when it became, ‘We have someone really, really special.’”

When Shaheen first stepped foot on Ashland – a transfer he made because he received the ‘itch’ to return to football after watching an Ohio State vs.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – On the third and final day of the draft, the Bears made three picks to round out their 2017 draft class: defensive back/punt returner Eddie Jackson (Alabama), running back Tarik Cohen (North Carolina A&T) and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan (Kutztown).

Ryan Pace said Jackson was high enough on the team’s draft board that he made the move up five spots to No. 112 to make the pick.

“A player we had graded high on our board, obviously willing to move up for,” Pace said. “Plays free safety, also a very good punt returner, converted corner, very good instincts, very good ball skills. Something we need and something we’re excited about, so a good addition for us.”

Jackson comes to the NFL with medical questions after his senior season was cut short by a broken leg. However, Jackson – who is Alabama’s all-time leader in interception-return yards (he had nine career picks) – says he will be ready for Bourbonnais. Pace said Jackson will be limited in rookie minicamp.

“I’m fine right now. I’m healthy, and I’ll be ready to go by training camp and everything like that,” he said. “From last year I mean, it was frustrating that I went out with an injury, but it’s something that I can’t control. I’m just ready to go in there and work with the training staff for the Bears, and I know I’m going to be ready for training camp 100

12 CUBS 7, RED SOX 4

Youth plays a role in Cubs’ comeback win

By BRUCE MILES

CUBS 7, RED SOX 4

bmiles@dailyherald.com BOSTON – It seemed quite proper for Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon to do a little October/November dreaming Saturday.

After all, his defending champions are taking on another talented young team, the Boston Red Sox, in what many prognosticators say could be a Fall Classic matchup.

“I’ve been a fan of their group for a while,” Maddon said before the Cubs beat the Red Sox 7-4 at Fenway Park.

“They’re just a really, really good group. They’ve got a great tradition, vibe going on. They’re going to be good for many years, also.

“I thought (Friday) night was a really nice first matchup among the youth on both sides. It would be nice to eventually end up in the last seven games of the year between these two teams.”

Whether anybody’s heart can take another seven-game World Series is a matter we’ll get to later.

But Saturday’s game featured Fenway in all its glory on a summerlike late afternoon. Young players from both sides figured into the action.

Andrew Benitendi hit a home run off Cubs starting pitcher John Lackey.

Chicago Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo celebrates his two-run home run that drove in Kris Bryant (left) during the fourth inning Saturday in Boston.

Bryant and Kyle Schwarber got into the action with Schwarber dunking a single into center field to break a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning to highlight a 3-run rally that brought the Cubs back from being down 4-2 in the sixth. Rizzo hit 1 of 3 Cubs homers, and Bryant had a pair of doubles.

It’s been a rough go for Schwarber

lately. He went 1-for-5 with 4 strikeouts in Friday night’s 5-4 loss. He flailed away against knuckleballer Steven Wright Saturday, going 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts before he singled against left-handed reliever Robby Scott, brought in specficially to face Schwarber.

“Little bit of relief,” Schwarber said.

WHITE SOX 6, TIGERS 4 (10 INN.)

Sox, Robertson come back in 10th to top Tigers

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT – So there go the White Sox, blazing through the Indians, Royals and Tigers of the AL Central for six consecutive wins and building a tidy 13-9 record with one day left in April.

They are in first place in the division, and in the words of their very own general manager last week, before we get excited, “let’s give this thing a little time.

It was GM Rick Hahn who astutely brought up the false alarm of 2016 when the Sox bolted to a 23-10 start and looked like a contender. And while no one is stepping out and calling this team a challenger, not in what is the first year of a rebuilding phase, no one is dismissing it as a bottom feeder, either, not after they bailed out a 6-4 victory in 10 innings on a gray and chilly afternoon at Comerica Park.

Left-hander Derek Holland, signed to a one-year deal in the offseason to

pitch innings vacated by the traded Chris Sale, pitched 61⁄3 innings of tworun ball and turned the rest over to a relievers Anthony Swarzak (unscored on this season), Tommy Kahnle (three batters, three strikeouts) and closer David Robertson.

It got messy after Robertson failed for the first time after going 5-for-5 in save opportunities, giving up a Victor Martinez homer on his first pitch and a tying RBI single to Alex Avila to force extra innings. But Melky Cabrera homered against left-hander Justin Wilson and Avisail Garcia, the Sox’ Mr. April batting .376 with 20 RBI, tripled in a second run to make it 6-4.

With Nate Jones unavailable after pitching three of the last four days, Robertson (1-0), clearly not at his best through a 33-pitch effort, got a second chance and went back out for the 10th and got through a scoreless inning.

It’s been that kind of month for the Sox. “The main thing is the offense was

great today, the defense made plays, it was an all-around team win,” Holland said. “This is what it’s all about.”

Holland (2.17 ERA) was good again and the Sox lineup chipped away for a 3-1 lead with an RBI single through the right side by Todd Frazier, Garcia’s sacrifice fly and Jose Abreu’s first homer of two homers.

Abreu’s second turned out to be needed add-on run that made it 4-2.

After Robertson blew it, Cabrera and Garcia wiped his stain away.

“Our guys showed a lot of heart coming back after that,” manager Rick Renteria said. “You might get deflated, they didn’t.”

“Maybe everyone has written us off, but everyone in this clubhouse hasn’t written us off at all,” veteran righthander James Shields said before the game.

“We don’t think this is a rebuild.

We think it’s a reload. We have a lot of

level. I think he’s got the physical skill set to do that.”

That’s a lot of pressure. At the Division II level, Shaheen had to dominate his competition.

“We sat down in the preseason and we identified what his goal was. It was just the reality that, hey, you’re unknown right now. The football world doesn’t know you. You have to dominate again to even have a chance,” Gamble said.

When Shaheen got to Ashland, he had the NFL goal in mind. He did what he had to do on the field, and Gamble pointed out that Shaheen had a 3.8 GPA in the classrooms to boot.

“It’s awesome. You have a kid and he says, “Hey this is my goal, this is what I’m going to do.” You take it with a grain of salt, you help him as much as you can,” Gamble said. “The kid has really just done it all. He’s done what he said he was going to do. He set goals and he kept achieving them.

It’s awesome. A prideful moment.”

ever you get to come here and play, it’s really cool.”

Schwarber will trek to the top of the Green Monster in left field sometime Sunday, but he did go inside and sign his name on the inside of the wall.

Lackey, the Cubs’ sometimes irascible warhorse, managed to gut out 6 innings to get the win even though he allowed 8 hits and 4 runs. He also exchanged greetings with home-plate umpire Bill Welke over a couple of close calls that didn’t go Lackey’s way early.

“Just keep fighting,” he said. “Until they take the ball from me, keep fighting, keep competing. Try to give your team a chance to win.”

The Red Sox did commit 4 errors, but the game was supremely entertaining for the 36,776 in attendance, many

of whom were wearing Cubs blue and making their voices heard.

“Two in a row, and I think the fans have been entertained,” Maddon said.

“When I see this, I just think it’s good for the game. It’s good for the industry when people can watch a game like this and see young players on both sides the fans can identify with play baseball so well. Of course, you want to win. But beyond all that, the larger picture is two really good teams playing the game properly and hard. Now it’s 1 and 1.

Let’s go for the rubber match tomorrow.”

Even after living through the stress of the Cubs’ seven-game World Series victory last fall, Maddon says doing it again beats the alternative.

“Doing a steak, having a nice glass of wine, cooking a steak in the backyard, who wants to do that?” he said.

“I’d rather be sweating it out in the corner of a dugout. Absolutely.”

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Wisconsin game – Gamble observed “an intense kid” who wanted to learn once he got on the field.

Ryan Pace said that he believes Shaheen has the skill set physically to make the jump from Division II to the NFL, and Ashland’s offense should also help the transition.

“We’re a lot more pro-style than the majority of college offenses,” Gamble said. “We still line up with two tight ends and a fullback. We go from that to 10 personnel-type formations, and he changed our offense because he was involved in all of that.

He was our best receiver. He was in our spread, in-line-tight, lead blocker in a lot of things. “[NFL] coaches coming in talking to him realized the kid knew football. He wasn’t just someone who could catch passes, he knew blocking schemes, he knew defenses. That sets him apart because he’s not a one-trick pony.”

Shaheen was impressive as is during the 2015 season, but to achieve an NFL dream, he had to do more.

“When you’re watching a guy at that level, he needs to dominate, every game,” Pace said. “And he did that, he really did do that. So I’m not worried about the transition to our

A

ntique trends have come and gone. Some businesses and people, too. Inside an old country church converted into an antique shop years ago in Ridgefield, Theresa Wendt is doing what she’s done for more than 50 years.

Smiling and talking antiques.

“Ridgefield, to me, hasn’t changed at all,” said the nearly 87-year-old in between phone calls to the shop, fittingly called Country Church Antiques.

It is one of Ridgefield’s four antique shops. Wendt has owned three of them for the past five decades. She rents them out, but still works at a couple of them daily because it’s simply what she does, always has done.

As progress has surrounded Ridgefield – nestled along a railroad track about a mile off Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock – this unincorporated community, which isn’t quite a town, is more like the antiques it features than its neighboring cities.

It once was a thriving railroad community. Trains that used to stop to let cattle graze before heading on their way to Chicago no longer do, and the last passenger train stopped in the 1960s.

“People coming out here think they’re at the end of the earth,” said Wendt, who lives in Woodstock.

Whatever it is that has sort of kept Ridgefield on pause seems to work for Wendt and the other dealers who make up The Antique Shops of Ridgefield – now with its own website (www. theantiqueshopsofridgefield.com) and Facebook page thanks to a more computer-savvy dealer than Wendt.

Beginning with what became Ridgefield’s first Kris Kringle Days on Thanksgiving weekend about 20 years ago – now an annual event – the shops have hosted regular promotions and events drawing loyal customers, as well visitors from, as Wendt puts it, “all over, really.”

An upcoming Antique Garden Event is among their biggest. Hosted from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 5-7, the event will feature “anything and everything related to outdoors and the garden” at the shops – Country Church, Railroad Street Market, The Peacock Shoppe and Simone-Michele Antiques & Vintage – all within walking distance. Already filling the shops’ indoors, a wide range of items will be on display outside.

Ridgefield’s dealers offer primitive,

Theresa Wendt works at Country Church Antiques in Ridgefield on Thursday. Wendt has owned three of the four antique shops in Ridgefield since the 1960s. She now rents them out, but still works at them daily. architectural, shabby chic and French country antiques, as well as vintage and repurposed items. They also offer an atmosphere they’re pretty proud of.

“She’s created a little family there in little Ridgefield,” said Douglas VanHouten, who sells his Vintage VanBorg antiques out of Country Church Antiques and is the one behind Ridgefield’s promotions and social media.

“It’s amazing to see how long the shops have survived,” he said.

Wendt credits good dealers, good deals and reputation.

It’s a nice variety as well, said Deb Corcoran, who has owned The Peacock Shoppe for the past several years. She sells turn-of-the-century, mid-century, vintage and handcrafted items, along with homemade candles and soaps.

“All of our shops are a little different now, which is kind of nice,” Corcoran said. “The variety we offer in Ridgefield is appealing to people who want kind of like one-stop shopping.”

A Crystal Lake resident, Corcoran

discovered Ridgefield upon noticing an antique sign pointing in its direction while driving on Route 14 one day. The woman who rented out the building before her noticed Corcoran’s handmade jewelry, asked her if she’d like to sell it there.

“That’s how it all started,” she said.

It’s a similar story for Wendt, who was told years ago she had a “good eye.” She originally sought antiques because “we had no money.”

“I started buying things because we couldn’t afford to buy new things,” she said. “I realized I really like the look, the warm feeling the furniture brought.”

Lately, she sees interest in shabby chic, industrial, mid-century modern and always primitive. Whereas years ago, it was more cluttered, she said, people these days want a more simple look.

“I’m delighted to see a lot of young people coming in, teenagers using antiques to decorate their rooms,” she said. It’s a trend that could be attributed to popular television shows, such as

2017 ANTIQUE GARDEN EVENT WHEN: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 5-7 WHERE: The Antique Shops of Ridgefield, 8509 Ridgefield Road, Ridgefield COST & INFO: All four of the Antique Shops will present unique, vintage and antique items to help make your garden a backyard retreat. Free admission. Information: 815-477-4601 or www.theantiqueshopsofridgefield. com/antique-garden-event-html.

The History Channel’s “American Pickers.” Wendt has heard of some of these shows, but said she hasn’t watched them because she doesn’t have cable.

She’d rather be in the shop, anyway.

“I love it, the people, the customers, the buying and selling. ... To be here 51 years, I love it,” she said. “It’s part of my life.”

A ‘good eye’ in Ridgefield

Antique dealer, 87, keeps shops authentic

Free titles offered to comic book fans McHenry County locations participate in annual Free Comic Book Day

By LINDSAY WEBER

editorial@nwherald.com On May 6, super powers, laughs, mysteries, imagination – it’s all free.

No, really. Take it home with you. It’s Free Comic Book Day. For comic book lovers alike, the first Saturday in May might as well be a national holiday. Since 2002, comic retailers and libraries have been giving away free comics in an effort to continue current readership as well as encourage new.

This year, 50 different comics will be available for free during the event, from Archie to Star Trek to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

“It’s an opportunity for anyone participating to get new readers to take a look at comics that wouldn’t normally pay for them and maybe for current readers to discover something new,” Modern Age Comics in Algonquin volunteer Travis Morgan said.

With the variety of free comics offered this year, there really is something for everyone.

“Secret Empire is a great free one because of the whole Steve Rodgers taking over Hydra,” Morgan said.

“For video game people, there is a Zelda comic and Wonder Woman for moviegoers.”

Half Price Books in Algonquin is giving away one free comic with each comic book purchase and will have a lot of back stock for sale on the event day.

The Hero’s Edge owner Blake Brittain said it was the most fun day of the year for him. When talking brands, he does not draw a hard line for new or

current readers when it comes to the age-old question of “Marvel or DC?” “Image. DC is starting to load up on their creators, which is good, and there are aspects of each company that I adore,” Brittain said. “But Image is coming out with all sorts of new creative [ideas] and stories that are really great, and in my opinion, they have the best creators.”

When pressed about which comic book hero most easily could live among modern day civilians without exposing their true identity, it was no contest.

“Batman. He’s already a multi-millionaire that runs a corporation, and people really don’t know about it,” Brittain said. “He doesn’t have actual superpowers that can expose him.”

When it comes to super powers, the Adult Services librarian and head of Digital Literacy at Algonquin Area Public Library, Kenny Duray, said he would not mind having one of his own.

“I would want The Flash’s super speed,” Duray said. “I live an hour away from my job, and that would really help cut down on my commute time.”

Algonquin Area Public Library took last year off from the event but is back with a plethora of activities, including a Jack Sparrow impersonator, cape, mask, button and light saber crafting and a visit from comic book writer John Jackson Miller to talk about his work in the Star Wars Universe.

Author Spotlight

KENNETH LINDE

Hometown: Johnsburg Latest Book: “Never Say Never ...

Living With Prostate Cancer, Loving With ED, Learning What Doctors Never Talk About” Publisher: Amazon Release Date: Jan. 1, 2017 Available: Amazon Kindle

What’s your new book about?

‘Never Say Never’ details my experiences with prostate cancer from the physical and emotional aspects and how they affected me. From this, I provide a very basic guide to male anatomy followed by discussions of neuro-chemistry and molecular biology, and how they relate to cancer in general. From there, I discuss prostate cancer, treatment options and consequences, and then what to expect if you are cancer-clear and hopefully someday a cancer survivor. All in all, this book was written by a nonmedical individual with the intent of explaining situations and circumstances in a nonmedical manner. It is not intended as a replacement for professional information, guidance and help.

Where did the idea come from?

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and wanted to learn more and began studying anatomy and physiology. In so doing, I read more than 65 books and compiled more than 5,000 pages of notes that allow me to develop my treatise regarding the different topics.

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

In America today, a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer every seven minutes. That’s fact and not fiction! In addition, there are more than 30 million men suffering from erectile dysfunction. In researching prostate cancer, I began to see there were probably many men like me, who knew little and would want to learn more but didn’t know where to turn. By having the book available online, anyone with interest and concern can read and learn without the apprehension that comes from admitting the situation. My only objective is to provide a source where men can go to learn about what might have happened or has happened to them and what they can do about it.

Who is the intended audience?

This book is intended for any man over

the age of 40 who is faced with physical challenges or wants to know more from a man who has been there about what it’s like and what is happening to them and what options they have. Virtually every man will end up with prostate cancer. The question is not if it will happen, but when and to what degree, and then the treatment options and the consequences.

Why is this story important to you?

This story is important to me because it has provided the basic knowledge that has allowed me to mentor others who are traveling the same path as I did. In so doing, I hope and pray I am making the path easier for them, taking away some of the fear, apprehension and anxiety they face, while offering them, not a solution, but a rationale for what their options are and how cancer can affect their lives and what they then can do to continue to live a life filled with happiness, joy and satisfaction.

How long did it take you to write?

What was your process?

The main body of the book took nearly four years to write and I have continued to add small segments for the past two years. My process was segmented in that I evolved from macro to micro perspectives and in so doing, followed an evolutionary path of logic that started with my own experiences and then addressed all subjects sustaining an objective of how the information was applicable to the subjects being addressed encompassing anatomy and physiology and ED and what any man might do to sustain a satisfying intimate relationship.

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

Knowledge is truly bliss! Learning opened doors never before unlocked that allowed me to marvel at the profound majesty of the human body while allowing me insight into the honor and dignity of those who have dedicated their lives to the creation of a better life for others through medical research and the medical profession. The most difficult part was interpreting medical terminology and converting it to layperson’s terms so that they could be understood without further reference. My greatest fear is that my translations are accurate, my conclusions concise and my suggestions apropos. I am not medically trained, and throughout the book, I do my very best to

remind readers of that fact, asking them to seek true medical counsel and not that of someone who has generalized information acquired from articles succinctly written by medical professionals for medical professionals.

How are you publishing this book and why?

In my efforts to find first a publisher and second a literary agent, I have learned that subjective items such as music and books are extremely difficult to garner interest and commitment within the establishment.

World-famous writers share stories of countless rejections before someone, somewhere finally was willing to take the risk of even listening to what they have expressed.

To this end, I have turned to electronic publishing on Amazon and other electronic media as my main method of distribution. I hope as my inventory of created materials expands someone, somewhere, sees merit in my efforts and allows me to at least share with them what I have written. Having doors closed and emails ignored countless times can be daunting to the point that only those willing to commit their time and efforts can survive.

What is your education/background?

I have a degree from the University of Wis-

consin in communications and spent the first five years of my career as a writer for television, radio and advertising before moving into the world of sales and marketing where I spent the remainder of my career as a senior executive. Now that I am semi-retired, I have returned to my first passion, which is writing and communicating with others.

Have you written anything else?

My first book, “Survivor … Death and How It Saved My Life” deals with social dynamics as they apply to creating happiness and is available on Amazon. After “Never Say Never,” my third book, “Waldwick” is historical fiction set in Wisconsin from 1826-1871 that deals with the consequences of oppression as it follows the three faces of power … the power to design or manipulate the rules, the power to win the game through force or unfair competition and the power to rewrite history to one’s benefit. This book has been submitted for copyright, and I hope to publish it in 2017.

What’s next for you?

I just completed writing “Little Spirit,” which is a sequel to Waldwick but in contemporary times that addresses the same subjects but from the perspective of Native Americans and the consequences of their subjugation to the arrival of settlers.

Abuse of meds can start early It all started so innocently for “Brad.” His dad was a school administrator, and his mom stayed home.

He and his sister had a comfortable life, but Brad had learning problems and associated behavior problems.

He never did well in school. The attention deficit medications started early, and so did the abuse of them.

Brad was taking anti-anxiety medication for the behavior problems and sleep medication for the sleep disorder and misusing those as well as the ADD meds, all by age 13. He was an intelligent kid, but at times at home nearly uncontrollable. His parents were shocked at his increasingly erratic behavior and had him hospitalized. He resented the intervention and resisted any attempt anyone made to help. He refused to cooperate and was released after 10 days.

His mom and dad didn’t know what to do. His mom eventually withdrew into her own world, and dad ratcheted up the control, which only served to increase the tension. Dad resisted any implication Brad had a chemical problem largely because he was afraid his bottle of Scotch a day habit would be exposed.

By this time, Brad was hanging with older kids, smoking weed and taking hallucinogens, both LSD and other analogs. He was staying out many nights, coming home only to sleep briefly and then occasionally go to school. He finally was expelled from school and started an unsuccessful run at home school.

Brad’s friends primarily were petty criminals and drug addicts. By his late teens, Brad had started to snort heroin and take opioid pain medication he bought from friends. Within a year, he was injecting heroin and had been hospitalized three times for overdose scenarios; each time lucky

enough to be taken to an emergency room and resuscitated.

This period in Brad’s life landed him in his first treatment program for chemical dependency; a high end, long-term place in Montana for young adults. He did well, and after seven months, returned home, only to ignore his aftercare recommendations and relapse within two weeks.

During this relapse, he overdosed a fourth time, as did his friend with whom he was getting high. Brad survived, but his friend did not. Even this didn’t stop him, and four months later, after the loss of a second friend to overdose, Brad asked his parents to send him back to treatment. At a loss and scared to death, his parents finally reached out for some help themselves. They had been immobilized by their own fear and shame and hadn’t been able to talk to anyone about their son. As a result, they found support and information about the kind of treatment Brad needed.

He went to a second long-term program, and rather than coming home after completion, at the suggestion of the treatment staff, he moved into a sober living home near the treatment center. This process worked for Brad, and he gradually learned to live a sober lifestyle. He got a job and eventually moved into an apartment with two sober friends.

He’s not the booming academic success or the prom king his parents had wished for, but he’s sober, alive, happy and productive.
