Levee breaks, river closure latest fallout from flooding By JIM SALTER

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Authorities urged residents to evacuate a small Missouri River town and halted traffic along a busy section of the Mississippi River near St. Louis on Wednesday, as relentless rain and an ominous forecast hovered over parts of the flood-soaked Midwest. Heavy rains have swollen many rivers to record levels in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Five deaths have been blamed on flooding in Missouri, while hundreds of people have been displaced and thousands more are potentially in harm’s way. Two levees burst in rural parts of eastern Missouri and northeast Arkansas early Wednesday, though no injuries or major property damage were immediately reported. Another levee was soaked but holding up, as were tens of thousands of sandbags, in other areas near suburban St. Louis. River traffic was halted along a 14.5-mile stretch of the Mississippi, a vital passageway for transporting agricultural products and other goods, because of high water and a swift current, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. “Our collective priority is public safety,” said Capt. Martin Malloy, commander of the Coast Guard’s Upper Mississippi River sector.

The region was hit hard by rain over the weekend. A couple of days of calm weather followed, but forecasters expect another 2 to 4 inches of rain through Thursday in parts of the same hard-hit areas. The new rain won’t cause most rivers to rise higher, but it will keep water levels dangerously elevated, said National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Fuchs. That’s concerning in levee-protected towns. The longer water pushes against a levee, the more likely it is to succumb. In northeast Arkansas, a Black River levee was breached Wednesday morning near Pocahontas. Parts of the town were evacuated earlier this week as the river reached record levels, and residents in nearby areas were told to seek higher ground. In Missouri, a small levee breach along the Missouri River flooded farmland southwest of St. Louis. The breach could prove beneficial for downriver towns because enough water will flow out of the river system to lower crest predictions on the other side of the breach, Fuchs said. Still, residents of one of those downriver towns – West Alton, where about 500 people live – were urged to evacuate on Wednesday because the levee there was threatened by the swollen river. The town is about 20 miles north of St. Louis.

A CLOSER LOOK

Officials tout safety benefits compared with traffic signals, stop signs By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Navigating roundabouts soon will be routine for some McHenry County motorists, because, like it or not, they’re gaining a foothold here as their popularity grows around the country. With a lack of roundabouts in McHenry County, McHenry resident Adam Loresch said he’d be a little concerned with the county adding more. “My experience I’ve had with them is they are OK, but people get too confused going through them,” Loresch said. “People don’t yield like they should, and they just don’t seem to understand the rules of the road like they should.” Meanwhile, McHenry resident Tom Fellberg said he’s driven through the Johnsburg roundabout several times and had some initial concerns when it was built. “The first time you go through them they can be a little confusing,” Fellberg said. “But when you get used to them, they really seem to do the trick and work out well. People just need to get more accommodated to them.” Two more roundabouts are coming to McHenry County in the near future at Charles and Raffel roads and at Dowell and River roads. Construction is expected to begin May 15 for a roundabout at the intersection of Charles and Raffel roads in Greenwood Township, just north of Woodstock’s city limits. In April, the McHenry County Board approved a $2.18 million bid from Landmark Contractors Inc. of Huntley to replace the two-way stop at Charles and Raffel roads with a roundabout. “The roundabout we’re planning there is for safety because we’ve had a lot of high-speed accidents at that intersection,” said Jeff Young, McHenry County Division of Transportation assistant county engineer. The intersection gets about 16,000 vehicles daily, according to traffic counts made in 2012, and has seen as considerable amount of serious crashes. According to the McHenry County Department of Transportation, of all the crashes occurring at the intersection, 63 percent result in a person being injured. Of those incidents, 75 percent result in a person

Cars use the roundabout Wednesday in Johnsburg. The McHenry County Board gave the official go-ahead to replace the intersections at Charles and Raffel roads and Dowell and River roads with roundabouts. Studies show intersections that have been converted to roundabouts have reduced the number of crashes. being taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Studies have shown that U.S. intersections converted from traffic signals or stop signs to roundabouts have found reductions in injury crashes of 72 percent to 80 percent and reductions in all crashes from 35 percent to 47 percent, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. “People need to know there’s a lot of safety benefits of the roundabout. A roundabout has lower speeds and it allows traffic to continually flow,” Young said. “They also can have lower maintenance and installation costs because there is no signal equipment to repair,” Young said. Another roundabout planning to be constructed will be at the intersection of Dowell and River roads. Young said along with improving safety, the roundabout just east of Holiday Hills intends to fix traffic

congestion and backups. “That’s an area we’ve been looking at for a while to improve traffic flow and make it so there are less idling cars,” Young said. Young said they’re in the process of wrapping up land acquisition and construction is anticipated to begin next year at River and Dowell. The Division of Transportation considered both a traditional traffic signal and a roundabout at the intersection, but eventually decided on the roundabout. “One of the things that was unique to this location is there were driveways and streets that were close to the intersection that would have been modified or changed with a signal option, and a roundabout allowed those streets and other locations to remain as is,” Young said. The two planned roundabouts would join the one in Johnsburg, which in 2014 was the first roundabout installed in McHenry County.

Located at the intersection of North Chapel Hill and Johnsburg roads, there have been only 13 incidents in and around the Johnsburg roundabout since its completion, all of which were minor in nature, Village Administrator Claudett Peters said. “The roundabout has been a great improvement to our community,” Peters said. “It took the place of what was a four-way intersection that didn’t completely line up. So we had a lot of backups that would take place during rush-hour time, but you don’t experience that at all anymore.” Johnsburg Village President Edwin Hettermann said he’s been supportive of the roundabout since it was created and it has proven to be beneficial to the city. “It has alleviated a lot of the traffic problems and backups that we had at peak hours of the day,” Hettermann said. “The county talked about

City Council approves District 47 parking restriction requests By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The City Council changed parking and driving restrictions near four Crystal Lake District 47 schools at the district’s request. The changes, which loosen restrictions in some places and tighten them in others, affect Husmann, Canterbury, South and Indian Prairie elementary schools. The changes were approved with no debate, save for a brief report from city staff. District 47 will change the no-parking area in front of Husmann Elementary, on the south side of Paddock Street,

to two 15-minute parking spaces to accommodate people dropping by for quick business. Another change loosening restrictions will cut back the hours that the left-turn ban to get into Canterbury Elementary is in effect. The ban now only applies to the drop-off and pickup hours of 8 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m., instead of the entire school day. Drivers who want to turn left to get into the school, regardless of hour, now must drive past the school, turn left on Aberdeen Drive and left again on Cardiff Drive. Tuesday’s votes ban parking on parts of Spruce Lane and Golf and Nash roads,

near South Elementary School during drop-off and pickup hours. School officials are worried that kids are crossing Golf Road to reach parked cars, bypassing the Highland Avenue intersection where the district has a crossing guard. Another change will extend all-day parking restrictions on Kennsington Lane near Indian Prairie Elementary School south. This change was requested by the bus service that transports students for both Districts 47 and 155. But the restriction on part of the west side of Kennsington Lane will be loosened from all day to only drop-off and pickup hours.

CL man faces new drug charges months after release from prison By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake man faces new drug charges only months after he was released from prison for selling heroin. Paul S. Benzinger, 29, of the 6100 block of Anvil Road, Crystal Lake, was arrested Monday and charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, Class 4 felonies. He remained in McHenry County Jail as of Wednesday afternoon in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $80,000 bond. Benzinger is unemployed and lives with his parents, according to court documents. Benzinger was previously sentenced in July 2016 to eight years in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. Judge Sharon Prather signed an

order recommending he be admitted to the impact incarceration boot camp program. He was arrested in 2015 after several law enforcement agencies searched his and Heather Vasil’s home and seized more than $3,200 worth of heroin. The couple faced felony drug charges. Vasil pleaded guilty in May 2016 and she was sentenced to six years in prison with a recom- Paul mendation for the im- Benzinger pact incarceration boot camp program. Benzinger was released from prison Jan. 10 and has been on parole. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office learned shortly thereafter from a confidential source that he was selling heroin again by making frequent trips to Chicago to buy large quantities of the drug that he would then sell in McHenry County, according to court documents. Sheriff’s deputies pulled Benzing-

er over in McHenry County for expired registration plates on his way to Chicago to buy heroin. Authorities said Benzinger admitted to having heroin in his possession and turned over 36 individually wrapped bags of heroin. The substance weighed about 3.6 grams – an amount not likely for personal use, court documents said. Based on this information, Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ann Scholl filed a motion to increase Benzinger’s bond to $250,000. Scholl argued that if Benzinger is able to post bond there is a “substantial likelihood” that he will continue to violate his parole and break laws. “The only way to protect the community is to substantially increase his bail,” Scholl said in her motion. If Benzinger is convicted, he is eligible for extended-term sentencing and could face four to 30 years in prison. This offense also is not probationable given the weight of the drugs, Scholl said.

College of DuPage faculty member seeking nomination for 6th Congressional District By ERIC SCHELKOPF

editorial@kcchronicle.com College of DuPage adjunct faculty member Suzyn Price has announced she will seek the Democratic nomination for Illinois’ 6th Congressional District in the March 2018 primary election. She will have the chance to face U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, in the November 2018 general election. “Washington politicians like Peter Roskam are ignoring their constituents and forging ahead with a radical Trump agenda,” Price said in her campaign announcement. “We need leaders in Washington that have a track record of listening to people, fighting for middle class families and forging solutions.” Price, 50, is a former Naperville School District 203 Board member. She has lived in Naperville since 1996 with her husband, Derke Price. Roskam was first elected to Congress in 2006. College of Lake County Trustee Amanda Howland, who lost to

“We need leaders in Washington that have a track record of listening to people, fighting for middle class families and forging solutions.” Suzyn Price

College of DuPage adjunct faculty member Roskam in the November 2016 general election, has filed her intent with the Federal Election Commission to run in the 2018 Democratic primary. Lake Zurich resident Geoffrey Petzel also plans to run in the primary, along with Austin Songer of Chicago. Roskam said he welcomed those seeking to run against him. “Democracy is a great process,” he said. “Everyone is welcome to run for office and express themselves, and that is one of the great strengths of our country.” Roskam has been criticized for not participating in town hall meetings with his constituents. He declined an invitation by seven League of Women Voters groups to be part of a con-

stituents meeting Feb. 23 and did not attend a league candidate forum in the fall. He defended his actions. “I do dozens of round tables and discussions throughout the constituency and have made that a real priority,” Roskam said. “My experience is that’s a format that allows people to talk to one another and not shout past one another. “My observation is that the large town hall meetings, 1,000 people in a high school gym, tend to be events where people come in angry and they leave angrier, and I don’t think that’s what we really need in our public life today. We need solutions, and that’s how I’ve chosen to communicate.”

Church seeking demolition Just Like Mom. . . permit to raze former school We’re Always Here for You NORTHWEST HERALD

HUNTLEY – First Congregational Church of Huntley is seeking a demolition permit from the city to raze a former school building that was converted into apartment complex at 11624 E. Main St., village documents show. Although the structure is not designated as a historic landmark, talk of demolition plans for the building have sparked concerns from residents in the past. The item is listed for “informational purposes only” on the agenda for Huntley’s Committee of the Whole meeting, which is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Huntley Village Hall, 10987 Main St.

The church bought the property in 2006 for a future building expansion, village documents show. To knock down the structure, a demolition permit first must be issued by Huntley’s Development Services Department. The church always had planned on demolishing the building. Most historical aspects of the building were compromised when previous owners turned the school into apartments, the church’s council President Jeff Peterson told the Northwest Herald earlier this year. The original portion of the school was built in 1875 and added to in 1909. In about 1955, the school was turned into apartments.

By Request... Thursday, May 18, 2017 NECK PAIN WORKSHOP REVEALS HOW TO NATURALLY HEAL NECK PAIN FOR GOOD

• Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive? • Do you secretly dread sitting in the bleachers to watch your kids or grandkids? • Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your shoulder, arm or into your hand/ﬁngers? • Do you get headaches the worse your neck or arm feel? • Does your neck ever feel like it’s going to “Snap” if you move the wrong way? • Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it? If you have answered YES to any of the above questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – this Neck Pain Workshop may be a life changing event for you… “When I came here, I had a lot of pain in my neck, I couldn’t turn my head without it hurting. I was also having a lot of headaches.. Andrea and Mike have been so awesome in helping me to feel better and teach me how to help myself at home.” – Tina Feld

Hello,

And less movement and less enjoyment of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems… and life problems. Here at Diamond PT, we’ve helped hundreds of people over the years from right here in Algonquin… and the rest of McHenry County… who have suffered needlessly with neck pain and arm pain… it’s a type of problem we treat people for all the time. So by request, I’m hosting a Neck Pain Workshop here at Diamond PT at 1140 E. Algonquin Rd, Algonquin IL, Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 6:30 PM. If you’re confused about what to do and are looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn:

• The Single Biggest #1 Mistake neck pain sufferers make which actually stops them from healing… • The 3 Most Common Causes of Neck Pain… • A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Neck Pain (and save you a ton of time and money) • How a problem in your neck can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your arm… • What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery.

How Do I Register for the Neck Pain Workshop? Call Nicole at our ofﬁce at 847-854-0196 How Much Is It to Attend? Nothing… the event is FREE! When you register, we will mail you The Neck Pain Worksheet which you will bring with you to the event. The interactive nature of this workshop limits us to 20 seats for this event… and this invitation also will be mailed to many of our past patients in the Algonquin area. So if you would like to attend, be sure to register now at 847-854-0196. As a Special Bonus, the ﬁrst 11 people to call and register for the event will receive a personally signed copy of my book, “Get Back to Living; Relief without Medications, Injections and Surgery”. All 20 attendees for the Neck Pain Workshop will receive a Special Report: “The Top 10 Burning Questions for Neck Pain” Looking forward to seeing you there,

PS – This event is limited to the ﬁrst 20 people to register. When you register, you can bring a guest. (We do this because many people request to bring their spouse or other family member).

Neck pain can completely ruin your life… I’ve seen it many times. It can make you avoid all kinds of things in your life or work… It can take your focus away from enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren… It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do… It can ruin your travel plans… And it can take away your ability to live life… having to rely on others…

Algonquin seats new Village Board members, thanks outgoing trustees By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Two new trustees have joined the Algonquin Village Board. Janis Jasper and Laura Brehmer were sworn in at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, along with incumbent Trustee Jerry Glogowski and Village President John Schmitt. The two newcomers, both opponents of the Longmeadow Parkway project who live near the road, replaced two longtime trustees, Brian Dianis and Bob Smith. “I’m really honored to be here, and really looking forward to working with the board and residents and to continue the great heritage that we have here,” Brehmer said after Tuesday’s meeting. A crowd of about 30 people sat in the audience while the new board was sworn in.

“I’m just looking forward to getting down to work and getting to know the other trustees, getting to know our staff here,” Jasper said. “The ones that we’ve met already are phenomenal, so I’m very much looking forward to this.” Staff members at Tuesday’s meeting Laura thanked outgoing trustees Dianis and Smith, Brehmer who were both in the audience, for their work in the village. Smith had been on the board for 24 years, and Dianis had been on the board for 12 years. At the previous Algonquin Committee of the Whole meeting, Schmitt recognized the two outgoing trustees. Schmitt said the board could always count on Dianis to emphasize the importance of liquor license hold-

er’s compliance with the code, and to be conscious of the village’s effect on the environment. “There are a lot of issues that come across this board’s desk and they vary greatly, and Brian has never swayed from being a champion of fulfilling this community,” Schmitt said. Jerry Smith is the longest Glogowski tenured trustee in the village, Schmitt said, and has always supported furthering recreation for the community. “Every person on this board, and in our Janis Jasper staff, and every business and every resident in this village genuinely owes Bob Smith and Brian Dianis a huge ‘thank-you,’ ” Schmitt said.

having several plans, such as maybe putting in stoplights there, and they asked for the village’s opinions. And we were behind the idea of a roundabout and were very happy that we did it.” Hettermann said some residents were skeptical at first when the idea of a roundabout was proposed to the village. “A lot of have people said, ‘Oh no that will never work,’ ” Hettermann said. “And now a majority of the people who said that won’t work now say it was the right thing. It just takes getting used to change.” The first modern roundabouts in the U.S. were built in Nevada in 1990 and many more roundabouts have been built since, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In Wisconsin, there are 350 roundabouts, with 196 of them on the state trunk highway system and 154 on local highways, according to the state of Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation.

Elementary school students win bag recycling challenge By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Elementary school students in Johnsburg School District 12 collected nearly 1,500 pounds of plastic bags and won a recycling challenge as part of a nationwide initiative. The students participated in the annual challenge hosted by Trex, a company that makes decks, benches and other products from recycled materials. Seven other schools in McHenry County participated in the challenge, including Crosby Elementary, Woodstock High School, Nippersink Middle School, Clay Academy, McHenry Middle School, Landmark Elementary and Conley Elementary. Students collected a total of 3,642 pounds of plastic bags during the challenge, which ran from Nov. 15 to April 15. Johnsburg Elementary collected the most in McHenry County, said Bill Donato, coordinator with the McHenry County Schools Environmental Education Program.

“It’s an amazing amount of bags,” Donato said. “It’s truckloads and truckloads. A plastic bag doesn’t weigh very much, so it’s really a good feat. That’s what makes it so exciting. Every one really banded together.” Trex will give the school a bench made from recycled plastic for the students’ efforts. On average, a 30-gallon trash bag will hold about 650 plastic bags and weigh 7 pounds, according to the Trex website. The program gives students an opportunity to see that they can make a difference by making small changes in everyday life, Donato said. “We talk big issues a lot,” he said. “That sometimes can be scary because we feel powerless.” The school has participated in the challenge for the past several years. Students get engaged in the process, Principal Bridget Belcastro said. “The whole school community gets involved,” she said. “I am very proud of the effort our families put in.”

The Fox Waterway Agency has imposed a no-wake restriction on the Fox River waterway at about 10:30 Wednesday.

LOCAL BRIEF Fox Waterway Agency imposes no-wake restriction on system The Fox Waterway Agency has imposed a no-wake restriction on its entire system in response to rising water levels caused by heavy rains. The agency updated the status of the Fox River waterway about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Before that, only the lower river was under a restriction, and the upper

river and the Chain O’ Lakes were open with no restrictions. A no-wake restriction requires boaters to reduce speed to limit the damage that wakes can do to property along the water. A debris advisory also is in effect for the entire system. The waterway’s jurisdiction along the Fox River stretches from the Wisconsin border to the Algonquin dam.

LaVerne W. Kleckner, 97, of Harvard passed away on Tuesday, May 2, 2017, at JourneyCare Hospice in Woodstock, IL. He was born on February 4, 1920, in Juda, WI to Percy and Mildred (Zimmerman) Kleckner. On Dec. 23, 1939, he married Frances Silvius. In 1983 Frances and LaVerne were divorced. On Dec. 10, 1986, he married Cora Dahlgren, who passed away on Jan. 27, 1993. LaVerne was always active. After retiring from the farm and living in town, he mowed lawns and shoveled snow for others, and drove the “old people” to their doctor appointments, even though he was older than most of them. He enjoyed the telling of one of his first jobs, picking sweet corn for the Green Giant canning factory in Belvidere. He and Frances would start at midnight picking fresh corn throughout the night, racing to be one of the first loads to arrive at the plant, where they would receive a 50-cent bonus. These loads weighed 2 tons, was picked by hand, and driven to the factory with a team of mules. They usually received the bonus for arriving early. He enjoyed farming, listening to country music and watching old westerns. Also, sharing stories of the old days, and wintering in Florida. He treasured all 5 generations of his family, both his and Cora’s. Survivors include son, Wayne L. (Annette) Kleckner; grandchildren, Kathy Lynn (Leonard) Ritzert and Kevin (Catherine) Kleckner; great-grandchildren, Jennifer (Alex) Dworak, Tabitha (Michael) Thomas, Tonya (Justin) Monness, and Nathaniel (Thriesa Miller) Kleckner; great great grandchildren, Alex and Teressa Thomas, Alaina Autumn and Zachary Monness, and Marshall Kleckner; siblings, Laurene (Ray) Thompson, Pearl Salmon, and Lyle Kleckner; stepgrandchildren, Amy (Joe) Beach, Andy (Tora) Ritzert, Paul Schnulle, Phillip (Charlene) Schnulle, and Julie (Jeff) Leutschwager; stepgreat-grandchildren, Nicholas and Joshua Beach, Aiden, Daniel, and Jelani Ritzert, Melissa Williams, Adam Schnulle, Jacob (Sara) Schnulle, Bryce Schnulle, Jed Schnulle, Elizabeth (Josh) Shuck, Elijah Schnulle, Jessica and Jonathon Luetschwager; and stepgreat-great-grandchildren, Tristen, Summer, and Blake Schnulle, and Marley Shuck.

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Live and learn. What you experience while working or playing alongside others will build strength, courage and the ability to take on something extraordinary. Believe in and trust in yourself and your ability to assess situations and find concrete solutions. Stand tall and act with honor and responsibility. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take pleasure in doing the things you enjoy with the people who make you happy. Outings with children, a close friend or loved one will give you greater insight into your relationships. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Work on self-improve-

ments instead of trying to change others. Your input into how someone should live or look will result in an argument that will be difficult to resolve. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t get angry when you should be taking care of business. It’s up to you to set the standard, follow through with your plans and reap the rewards. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A setback due to someone’s inaccuracy will disappoint you. Don’t get stuck on what you cannot change, when you should do something that will bring progressive results. Romance is encouraged. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Do your best to avoid a disagreement with one of your peers. Proceed quietly to avoid interference. Working from home will help you accomplish more in less time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You don’t need to use force if you use intelligence. Offer suggestions and incentives to get others on board. Charm will help you get exactly what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Look over contracts, settlements and investments carefully. A joint venture may not be as good as you think. Check out alternative ways to use your skills to stabilize your position. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional problems will set in if you don’t communicate with someone honestly. Trying to keep the peace by withholding your true feelings won’t solve the problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An investment opportunity will entice you, but do your research

before you get involved. Making an impulsive move or commitment will box you into a situation that could have serious ramifications. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Make plans to get together with someone you don’t see often or plan a reunion with old friends. Discussing past dreams will inspire you to take a second look at some. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You can make personal changes, but first iron out any foreseeable difficulties. Getting along with your peers, superiors or a partner will be necessary to excel. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Collaborate with your peers in order to come up with ideas regarding a project you are working on or an idea you want to present and launch. Celebrate with a loved one.

Obama unveils vision for library By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former President Barack Obama unveiled plans for his future presidential center Wednesday, painting a picture of a buzzing hub for youth and community programs on the South Side of Chicago where he raised his family and launched his political career. Obama fielded questions from residents at a forum near the site, delving into nitty gritty details of traffic patterns, green space and job creation, while avoiding any mention of his successor in the White House. “What we want this to be is the world premiere institution for training young people and leadership to make a difference in their communities, in their countries and in the world,” he told the friendly crowd that included Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his onetime chief of staff. It was Obama’s second public appearance since he left office, providing another glimpse of post-presidential life. Last week, he participated in a University of Chicago panel with students, saying young people are the key to solving the nation’s most pressing problems

News from across the state Police say 2 Chicago officers shot in targeted attack

CHICAGO – A manhunt was underway Wednesday after two plainclothes Chicago police officers were shot and wounded as they sat in an unmarked vehicle in what authorities are describing as a targeted attack. Two vehicles pulled up alongside the officers and opened fire Tuesday evening in the high-crime Back of the Yards neighborhood on the city’s South Side. One officer was shot in the arm and hip and the other in the back, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The officers were conducting a follow-up investigation to a previous incident, but Guglielmi said they were wearing civilian clothes with vests bearing police badges. Johnson said their vehicle was unmarked.

He said Chicago has a lot to offer, but most people outside the city only see headlines about the violence. “We don’t want to wait for a building,” he said. “This is about reaching out right now.” He said there would be future community meetings to discuss other aspects of the center in Jackson Park, and hoped it could be used to spurn economic activity to the area, which includes several downtrodden neighborhoods. Obama projected the center would create thousands of jobs, including temporary construction jobs and up to 300 permanent positions.

“We believe that the officers were definitely targeted,” Guglielmi told The Associated Press. Both were released from the hospital Wednesday, Guglielmi said. Authorities are searching for suspects and questioning three people of interest, he said. Police believe the officers were shot with a high-powered weapon and have recovered two guns and a vehicle that could be linked to the shooting.

Private fundraising to fix fairgrounds set to begin

CHICAGO – A private foundation backed by Gov. Bruce Rauner is preparing to kick off a major fundraising effort to revamp Illinois’ dilapidated fairgrounds. Rauner announced the creation of the Illinois Fairgrounds Foundation during last year’s state fair, with the goal of raising enough money to repair crumbling buildings, deteriorating roadways, and aging sewer and electrical systems, the Chicago Tribune reported. The fairgrounds also have battled flooding during heavy rains. The foundation will seek $185 million in private money and donations to pay for

the projects. Chairman John Slayton said the group has raised $5,000 to $10,000 so far. He said the goal isn’t likely to be raised in the short term, but that the foundation wants to hit $2 million or $3 million a year. The governor and first lady Diana Rauner have promised to contribute an unspecified amount to the project.

2 charged in Islamic State case plead not guilty

CHICAGO – Two Zion men accused of seeking to provide material support to terrorists and who posed for photos holding an Islamic State group flag have pleaded not guilty to federal terrorism charges. Joseph D. Jones and Edward Schimenti calmly told Judge Andrea Wood on Wednesday that they understood the gravity of the allegations. The 35-yearolds face 20-year maximum prison terms if convicted. A prosecutor at their arraignment in Chicago called it a complex case involving classified evidence that will remain sealed. The next hearing is July 6.

A complaint unsealed after their April arrests in an FBI sting said they agreed to provide cellphones that could be used as car-bomb detonators in Syria. It includes photos of them holding a black IS flag at Illinois Beach State Park.

Transit station hindering sale of Thompson Center

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appears to be throwing a monkey wrench into plans by the state to sell the James R. Thompson Center. Emanuel on Tuesday expressed concerns about what will happen to the Chicago Transit Authority station on the property. Michael Hoffman of Illinois’ Central Management Services Agency said his office is trying to work out the fate and cost of the station, which is inside the Thompson Center. Emanuel said he will not saddle city residents with the cost of repairs or reconstruction of the station, which is a transfer point for six CTA lines. He contends it will cost $80 million to $120 million to rebuild the station.

Health care bill set for House vote Thursday The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The House will vote Thursday on the GOP’s long-sought legislation to repeal and replace portions of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, Republican leaders announced Wednesday. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy confidently predicted success after a day of wrangling votes and personal arm-twisting by President Donald Trump. After an earlier failure when Republican leaders were forced to pull the bill for lack of votes, the decision to move forward indicated confidence on the part of GOP leaders. A successful outcome would be the culmination of seven years’ worth of promises by Republicans to undo Obama’s signature legislative achievement, but also could expose House Republicans to political blowback by endorsing a bill that boots millions off the insurance rolls. And there’s no guarantee that the bill, if passed by the House on Thursday, will actually become law. First the Senate must work its will, and the House legislation has generated significant opposition in the upper chamber. Nonetheless, victory in the House would provide some vindication of the GOP’s ability to govern in Republican-controlled Washington, and provide a long-sought win for Trump, who has been in office more than 100 days without a significant congressional victory save Senate confirmation of a Supreme Court justice. As he announced the vote would go forward, McCarthy was asked if leaders were confident they had the votes and he replied: “Yes.” The announcement Wednesday evening came at the end of a day when

House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, accompanied by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., speaks to reporters Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington. House Republican leaders and Trump intensified their already fierce lobbying to save the long-promised legislation, agreeing to changes that brought two pivotal Republicans back on board. Democrats stood firmly united against the health bill. But they generally applauded a separate $1 trillion-plus spending measure to keep the government running, which passed the House on a bipartisan vote of 309-118. On the health care front, Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan and Billy Long of Missouri emerged from a White House meeting with Trump saying they could now support the bill, thanks to the addition of $8 billion over five years to help people with pre-existing conditions. “Today we’re here announcing that with this addition that we brought to the president and sold him on in over an hour meeting in here with him, that we’re both yeses on the bill,” Long told reporters. The potential defections of Upton and Long over the previous 48 hours had emerged as a possible death knell for the bill, and with it seven years’ worth of GOP campaign promises to repeal and replace Democrat

Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. “’We need you, we need you, we need you,’” Long described as the message from Trump. The latest iteration of the GOP bill would let states escape a requirement under Obama’s law that insurers charge healthy and seriously ill customers the same rates. Overall, the legislation would cut the Medicaid program for the poor, eliminate Obama’s fines for people who don’t buy insurance and provide generally skimpier subsidies. The American Medical Association, AARP and other consumer and medical groups are opposed. The AMA issued a statement saying Upton’s changes “tinker at the edges without remedying the fundamental failing of the bill – that millions of Americans will lose their health insurance as a direct result.” If the GOP bill became law, congressional analysts estimate that 24 million more Americans would be uninsured by 2026, including 14 million by next year. Even if the GOP secures a win in the House, the Senate is expected to change the bill.

FBI director defends Clinton choice By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – FBI Director James Comey told Congress on Wednesday that revealing the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email probe just before Election Day came down to a painful, complicated choice between “really bad” and “catastrophic” options. He said he’d felt “slightly nauseous” to think he might have tipped the election outcome but in hindsight would change nothing. “I would make the same decision,” Comey declared during a lengthy hearing in which Democratic senators grilled him on the seeming inconsistency between the Clinton disclosure 11 days before the election and his silence about the bureau’s investigation into possible contacts between Russia and Trump’s campaign. Comey, offering an impassioned public defense of how he handled the election-year issues, insisted that the FBI’s actions in both investigations were consistent. He told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the FBI cannot take into account how it might benefit or harm politicians. “I can’t consider for a second whose

and Comey’s testimony, made clear that the FBI director’s decisions of last summer and fall involving both the Trump and Clinton campaigns continue to roil national politics and produce lingering second-guessing

about whether the investigations were handled evenly. On Tuesday, Clinton partly attributed her loss to Comey’s disclosure to Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the email investigation would be revisited. Trump disagreed, tweeting that Comey actually “was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!” Wednesday’s hearing yielded Comey’s most extensive explanation by far for the decision-making process, including his unusual July 2016 news conference in which he announced the FBI’s decision not to recommend charges for Clinton and his notification to Congress months later. Speaking at times with a raised voice, Comey said he faced two difficult decisions when agents told him in October that they had found emails potentially connected to the Clinton case on a laptop belonging to former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., who separated last year from top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner’s laptop was seized as part of a sexting investigation involving a teenage girl.

Chevy Cruze & Honda Civic Comparisons SPONSORED BY

A previous article comparing the Chevy Cruze and Honda Civic was based on an inaccurate comparison that distorted the features of the vehicles. The article has been revised and corrected to clarify potentially misleading comparisons. Although the Honda Civic has a long history intheautomarket,thereishasanewcompetitor on the roads. The Chevy Cruze has quickly become a popular compact sedan, especially after a sleek redesign with the 2016 model. The Gary Lang Auto Group has a wide selection of both new and used Chevy Cruze vehicles in its inventory, as well as many preowned similar styled and priced sedans. The experienced staff at Gary Lang Auto Group can help you find the right car for you. The Cruze has been turning a lot of heads recently, especially with its offering of a first-

ever 2017 Cruze Hatchback. This vehicle has become as a desirable family car since its launch in 2009. According to the Chevy website, the Cruze prides itself “with a unique combination of entertainmenttechnology,remarkableefficiency and available advanced safety features, (so) this sporty compact car helps you get where you’re going without missing a beat.” Redesigned to become a lighter compact sedan, the Chevy Cruze comes with a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 153 horsepower, making it feel energetic around town or on the highway. These two vehicles have many similarities, including size, fuel economy and warranty. The Civic boasts a large color radio display, but the Cruze comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen system that, according to Auto Trader, is refreshingly easy to see, reach and use. Although the Civic once used to stand out as a favorite in its class, the Cruze offers a bold new option for potential car buyers looking for a stylish and spacious sedan to drive home.

WASHINGTON – Despite bleak prospects for success, President Donald Trump promised on Wednesday “to do whatever is necessary” to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. At a White House meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Trump pledged to reinvigorate the stalled Mideast peace process that has bedeviled his predecessors and said he would serve as “a mediator, an arbitrator or a facilitator” between the two sides. “We will get it done,” Trump confidently told Abbas. “I’m committed to working with Israel and the Palestinians to reach an agreement,” Trump said. “But any agreement cannot be imposed by the United States or by any other nation. The Palestinians and Israelis must work together to reach an agreement that allows both peoples to live, worship, and thrive and prosper in peace.” The source of Trump’s optimism was not immediately apparent. He offered no details about his effort or how it would be any different from attempts over the past two decades during which former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all tried and failed. Palestinian officials said after the meeting that Trump had not raised any specific proposals to restart negotiations. Asked what distinguishes Trump’s plans from previous attempts, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said merely: “The man is different.” The peace process has been stalled since 2014, and there have been no serious attempts to restart negotiations. Like previous U.S. leaders, Trump faces numerous obstacles in the longshot bid. They include the contours of a potential Palestinian state, Je-

rusalem’s status and the question of Palestinian refugees. Complicating it all are the vehement Palestinian criticisms of Israeli settlement construction and Israeli complaints that Palestinians are inciting violence. Abbas insisted he is committed to peace, but he made clear Palestinian demands for a separate state based on borders that existed before the 1967 Mideast war, a capital in east Jerusalem and the return of Palestinian refugees. “Our strategic option, our strategic choice is to bring about peace based on the vision of two states, a Palestinian state, with its capital of east Jerusalem, that lives in peace and stability with the state of Israel based on the borders of 1967,” he said. Israel rejects the 1967 lines as a possible border, saying it would impose grave security risks. Israel also opposes Palestinian demands on refugees and stakes its claim on an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state. Trump did not discuss any of those issues Wednesday. But in a February news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump broke with longtime U.S. policy by raising the idea of a one-state peace agreement, withholding clear support for an independent Palestine. U.S. officials quickly stressed afterward that Trump would support any arrangement agreed by the two sides. U.S. officials had said ahead of Wednesday’s meeting that Trump would press Abbas to end payments to families of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails. Three Republican senators urged a halt to such payments in a letter to Trump that reflected widespread opinion in Congress. But Trump didn’t specifically mention that issue in his brief remarks after the Oval Office session.

Another tool in addiction crisis

The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office and other McHenry County agencies took another step forward in the fight against the heroin and opioid crisis that has ravaged the nation for much of the past decade with Monday’s launch of A Way Out – McHenry County. The program is the latest attempt by government agencies to shift resources away from prosecuting first-time drug offenders and more toward preventative and rehabilitative approaches. This comes on the heels of legislation passed by Illinois lawmakers in June designed to battle addiction and stem deaths from overdoses. Last month, Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth announced that Illinois would receive $16 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to go toward prevention, treatment and recovery services. All are necessary measures and all come as a welcome change after law enforcement agencies and government officials tried for too long to counter this epidemic as if it was any other spike in drug use. Never before have prescription opioids been so widely available. For nearly two decades, powerful opioids were commonly used to treat chronic pain with pharmaceutical companies consistently downplaying their drug’s addictive qualities. We now know the truth with millions of Americans dying from opioid overdose each year and countless suffering from addiction. Authorities have done their best to stem the flow of these powerful medications with limited success. In March, a McHenry doctor’s license was suspended after a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation alleged he had prescribed more than 350,000 dosage units of powerful opioid medications between June 2014 and May 2016. Unfortunately, those unable to gain access to these drugs are instead turning to heroin, which use has exploded across the country and throughout McHenry County in recent years. In 2012, 31 people died of drug overdoses in McHenry County. That number rose to 56 in 2016. Through the first week of March, overdoses already had claimed the lives of 18 people. McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally told the Northwest Herald this week during an interview for A Way Out that one person will die a week in McHenry County because of a drug overdose. Lake County’s A Way Out program has served 118 people since its June launch, and similar numbers are projected for McHenry County. Still, it’s up to residents to support such programs. Much like law enforcement and government officials, it’s time for the public to shift its perspective. We must not see addicts as criminals, but neighbors who need our help. “We know a lot of people in the throes of heroin addiction, even if they want to get help, are living on the margins of society,” Kenneally said. “They don’t know where to go, so they stay in their addiction ... . We wanted to create centralized locations where you can walk in and get help regardless of your resources or circumstances.” More programs like A Way Out are needed. A better public understanding of those suffering from addiction is a must.

ANOTHER VIEW

A good tax idea from Trump There is an upside to President Donald Trump’s unorthodox style of communication: Sometimes he comes out with a good idea that a less mercurial national figure might avoid out of conventional political caution. So it was with his remark during an interview with Bloomberg News, to the effect that he “would certainly consider” increasing the federal excise tax on motor fuels to help pay for an increase in federal infrastructure spending. Trump’s one condition should present no obstacle: He said he could support a hike only if the money went to pay for highways, but the law already requires that it go into a trust fund dedicated to the purpose. Beyond that, his statement was just right. The two main revenue sources of that trust fund – an 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gasoline tax and a 24.4 cents-per-gallon tax on diesel – have not been raised since 1993. That is to say, they have been cut, when you take inflation into account, by 40 percent over the past 24 years. Consequently, the Highway Trust Fund (which also subsidizes mass transit) is chronically underfunded and transportation needs are going unmet. Frightened of being labeled tax-raisers, presidents and members of Congress from both parties have shied away from increasing the levy or even letting it keep pace with inflation. Politicians chose instead to adopt a bill in December 2015 that purported to replenish the trust fund through such unsustainable budgetary gimmicks as a raid on the Federal Reserve’s cash flow.

Trump said he has been influenced by a friend in the trucking industry, which both benefits from a well-maintained road system and suffers from an insufficient one, in the form of congestion and vehicle damage. Accordingly, American Trucking Associations has long favored higher fuel taxes. The user-fee approach to paying for the roads makes sense for ordinary motorists as well: It’s penny-wise and pound-foolish to resist slightly higher prices at the pump, because automobile drivers, too, must pay for pothole-caused damage and time lost to traffic. Of course no one likes to pay more for fuel; policy should be adjusted to help mitigate the impact of this inevitably regressive levy on those who can least afford it. Still, at $2.38 per gallon, Tuesday’s nationwide average price of regular gasoline was less than what Americans paid 70 years ago, adjusted for inflation. The tax increase needed to cover currently planned Highway Trust Fund spending would be small – roughly a dime per gallon, according to a 2015 Congressional Budget Office report. Ideally, Congress and the Trump administration could agree to a significantly larger amount, then index it to inflation permanently to assure the trust fund’s long-term stability. By the way, a higher gas tax would help reduce fuel consumption and thus would be extremely effective in combating climate change as well. Admittedly, that’s not exactly one of Trump’s favorite causes. But he wouldn’t have to include it in his talking points.

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

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Thanks to Gasser

To the Editor: I would like to congratulate and thank Andrew Gasser for following through with his campaign promises. Mr. Gasser has reached across the aisle to work with Jack Franks to ensure a reduction in McHenry County property taxes. He has opted out of the pension and health care programs offered with his new Algonquin Township office. Andrew also has submitted his letter of resignation for his McHenry County Board seat. It is my hope that all involved parties can put aside the recent heated political wranglings and work together toward a better quality of life in McHenry County. Bob Goray Cary

Palpable insanity

To the Editor: Across a population increasingly bent upon legalizing recreational weed, a widespread opioid-addiction epidemic should come as no surprise. With 50-plus definitions of gender saturating the educational debacle descended upon our youth, state legislatures grapple with bathroom protocol legislation seeking to avoid devastating economic boycotts. Amidst this palpable cultural insanity, America truly has become the laughing stock of the world and a nonstop freak show. With hideously porous borders rendering our neighborhoods breeding ground for lethal gangs and nuclear weapons becoming curious play toys in Pyongyang, an out-of-control, intellectually

outside their community knows their favorite bars and inside jokes, that can be an easy source of humor and a way to connect,” Benaim said. As Arianna Huffington introduced herself to Vassar grads in 2015, “I’ve spent a lot of time in recent weeks getting to know you -- following you and your activities on social media, on Vassar’s website, in The Miscellany News, and in other ways I’m not prepared to disclose that will remain between me and the folks at the NSA. It feels a little like I’ve been checking out your online dating profile, and now we’re finally meeting.” Next, share some wisdom. It’s best told through personal stories of both your successes and failures. “The best stories of all are the ones you’ve lived through, where you’ve dealt with adversity like the students will face and found a way to make something remarkable out of it,” Benaim said. For example, in 2010, actress Lisa Kudrow told fellow Vassar College grads that when she decided to go into acting after earning a degree in biology, she was nervous about her choice because she “didn’t really care for actors” and was afraid of becoming shallow. But she soon realized that her thinking was holding her back. “You can’t pursue something and be committed to it if you’re apologizing for it at every party,” she said. What makes a commencement speech different from the kinds of talks senior executives typically deliver is that it isn’t meant to be a lecture on your area of professional expertise, Connolly said. “What’s important is that you’re sharing a little of yourself.” The moral of the stories is often how

to be a good human being. “It gets existential pretty fast,” Benaim said. But the speech should also be funny. Benaim said self-deprecating humor is an easy place to start. Stephen Colbert, for example, told University of Virginia graduates in 2013, “Out of courtesy, if anyone has a cellphone, please take a moment to make sure that it is turned on. I wouldn’t want any of you to miss a text or a tweet while I’m giving my speech.” Benaim also suggests looking at books of jokes and past commencement speeches delivered by comedians. You can’t steal good lines, of course, but you can quote, paraphrase and draw inspiration from them. Then, test out jokes on friends. “The bar for funny is sometimes surprisingly low,” he said. “People give you points just for trying, especially if you’re important.” Finally, you should leave students with a challenge to do something specific. This might be something you wish you’d known or done when you were in their shoes. As Sheryl Sandberg told Barnard grads in 2011, “Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face -- and there will be barriers – be external, not internal.” And as the late David Foster Wallace concluded his famed 2005 address at Kenyon College, I wish you way more than luck.

U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres is headed to the University of South Carolina. Vice President Mike Pence is off to the University of Notre Dame. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook will be at MIT, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg at Virginia Tech, the Dalai Lama at the University of California - San Diego, and Oprah Winfrey at Skidmore and Smith. Hundreds of other top business and political executives will deliver commencement speeches at colleges nationwide over the next few weeks. You may be one of them. So what are universities looking for when they offer big bucks to speak at graduation ceremonies? “The best speakers remember the day is about the people they’re speaking to, so they manage to combine their hard-won wisdom with a message of hope and optimism to the people who are graduating,” said Melissa Connolly, vice president of university relations at Hofstra University. Killer commencement speeches tend to follow a classic formula, said Daniel Benaim, a visiting professor at New York University who was a speechwriter for former Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Typically, speakers congratulate the class, share their own stories, say something insightful about the world they’ll graduate into, and end with a call to action challenging students to do something. Start by acknowledging notable people present, such as top university officials, local politicians and maybe

even the student class president. But Benaim said reading a list of names can be a missed opportunity. “Find a way to make it personal,” he said. “If you know people, don’t give them a compliment anyone could find on a Hallmark card. If you can, say something specific and uniquely true about them. If you’re not sure, start Googling.” Conan O’Brien, for example, recognized President George H.W. Bush in the opening of his 2011 commencement speech at Dartmouth by saying: “Before I begin, I must point out that behind me sits a highly admired president of the United States and decorated war hero while I, a cable television talk show host, have been chosen to stand here and impart wisdom. I pray I never witness a more damning example of what is wrong with America today.” Next, congratulate the students on their achievements. “The people in front of you have worked extraordinarily hard and they deserve specific recounting of what they’ve accomplished and the community they’ve built to make sure they feel recognized,” Benaim said. But while it’s important to tell the students they’re special, it’s also important, he said, to “let them know they’re not that special -- that an awful lot of hard work is ahead to become successful professionals and good citizens and lead meaningful lives.” This first part of the speech should include “retail politics” an acknowledgment what makes the university unique. If you don’t have a personal connection to the school, don’t worry. “Researching [students’] experience is a sign of respect, and when someone

Small-business lending: Is glass half full or half empty? By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Trying to size up the state of small-business lending can prompt the question: Is the glass halffull or half-empty? Banks and government data point to a recovery in small-business loans since the recession, with loan figures nearly back to their 2008 levels. But many company owners say that although they’re more upbeat about the economy, they’re not planning to ask banks for financing. Some have enough on hand. That’s what nearly half of the companies queried said in a survey released in March by the Federal Reserve’s regional banks. But 27 percent said they didn’t want to take on debt. Some are skittish about borrowing after getting stung by the recession. Interest rates that have been rising, and making some owners think about higher repayment costs, could also be a part of it. And 17 percent didn’t apply for financing because they expected to be rejected. Gregg Ward said he’s struggled to get even small lines of credit, $25,000 and under, despite a good credit history, because bankers he’s applied to are still so conservative years after the Great Recession. “They’re not easing up,” said Ward, owner of an eponymous San Diego-based executive coaching and consulting firm. “It makes it less likely I’m going to expand my business.” Ward, like many other owners, is trying to figure out other ways to meet

Some customers of Mazzanti’s computer networking and security company want to upgrade their systems, but it’s been taking longer than expected the past few months to get banks to agree to finance the deals, said Mazzanti. some of his goals. He wants to hire a staffer to help him find new business; that may mean dipping into cash reserves. The small-business lending environment has improved since the recession. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. counted $331 billion in commercial and industrial bank loans under $1 million as of Dec. 31, the largest amount since the end of 2008, when the government agency reported a record $336 billion in such loans that are generally taken out by small companies. That figure dropped to a low of $279 bil-

lion at the end of September 2012. But there’s that half-empty perspective; in one survey released last week by Bank of America, just 9 percent of the 1,000 owners questioned planned to apply for loans in the coming year. And a survey being released this week by Wells Fargo found demand for credit is little-changed from earlier this year. Holding back if they need financing can mean owners put off hiring or upgrading equipment that could increase productivity, which can ripple through the economy. Many owners have been shunning

debt since the recession taught hard lessons about borrowing. If their companies weren’t hamstrung by big loan balances during the downturn, owners saw plenty of other businesses falter when revenue fell and monthly payments became unmanageable. And the banking system’s woes led to increased regulations under the law known as Dodd-Frank. Bankers and companies say the lending process is much harder because of the added rules – a likely contributor to the problems Ward has been having. The Dodd-Frank rules also mean community banks – a primary source of small-business loans – have had to spend more to comply with the new regulations. That cuts into their profits and has contributed to a wave of community banks merging into regional or national banks. Many owners seek financing elsewhere. Credit cards, personal loans and borrowing from family or friends were among the most popular alternatives, according to a first-quarter survey by Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management and Dun & Bradstreet. Whether the issue is with an owner or a banker, it’s not just would-be borrowers that are affected – so are companies they do business with. Some customers of Carl Mazzanti’s computer networking and security company want to upgrade their systems, but it’s been taking longer than expected the past few months to get banks to agree to finance the deals, said Mazzanti, owner of eMazzanti in Hoboken, New Jersey.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, MAY 4, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Paris Jackson has agreed to take on a big screen role a few months after making her television acting debut. Deadline and USA Today report that Michael Jackson’s daughter will appear opposite David Oyelowo in an untitled dark comedy directed by Nash Edgerton and produced by Amazon Studios. A representative for Jackson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Jackson had a guest role on Fox’s “Star” in an episode that aired in March.

There, there: Denis Leary says ‘We Don’t Suck’ after all

AP file photo

Actor and author Alec Baldwin appears at Barnes & Noble Union Square on April 4 to sign copies of his new book, “Nevertheless: A Memoir,” in New York. Baldwin welcomes the chance to share the screen with President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live.”

Alec Baldwin: Trump is head writer on ‘Saturday Night Live’ BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Alec Baldwin welcomes the chance to share the screen with President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live.” “I think if he came it would be a great show,” Baldwin said in an interview Wednesday. “I think it would be better for everybody. It’s always fun to defuse some of the tensions and unpleasantness of all this because we are mocking him – by no means with more frequency or more maliciousness, if you will, than other people.” But he will have to wait. The actor, whose Trump impersonations became a staple this season and helped propel “SNL” to its best ratings in years, said the president recently turned down an invitation to appear on the NBC show. “We invited him to come when I hosted recently, but he refused to come, which is fine,” Baldwin said. “I’m hoping ‘SNL’ was the one thing he chose to ignore so he could actually do his job.” Trump has repeatedly bashed “SNL” and Baldwin’s impersonations on Twitter, but the actor said his performance is driven by Trump’s words and actions. “Trump himself is responsible for nearly all of the content,” he said. “Trump is the head writer at ‘SNL.’ Nearly everything, every consonant and every vowel is something that Trump himself has rendered in some way. So I think Trump is even more frustrated because he has only himself to blame for that.”

NEW YORK – Denis Leary is trying to see the glass half-full. The actor-comedian is following his 2008 best-seller, “Why We Suck,” with the more uplifting “Why We Don’t Suck,” Crown Archetype said Wednesday. The book is scheduled for November. According to Crown, Leary will look out on the land of Donald Trump and have a go at the “screaming heads” on television and such matters of urgency as Twitter, Instagram and diet vodka. One source of Leary’s new optimism: Trump, who showed him that anyone can be president. Leary said in a statement that he shares with Trump everything from angry tweets to a good-looking wife. He believes he is “one bad comb-over” from the White House.

Alessia Cara added to 2017 Taste of Chicago line-up

CHICAGO – Singer-songwriter Alessia Cara will perform at this year’s Taste of Chicago as part of a line-up that also includes a variety of rock, Latin, country and R&B acts. The city of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events announced the full schedule Tuesday for the annual event, which runs July 5 to 9 in Grant Park. Cara’s hits include “Scars to Your

Beautiful” and “How Far I’ll Go,” a song written by Lin-Manuel Miranda for the Disney movie “Moana.” The multi-platinum artist will perform in the Petrillo Music Shell on July 5. The city previously announced performances by rockers Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, alternative country’s Waco Brothers, The O’Jays and others. Tickets go on sale Friday for the Petrillo Music Shell seating area.

Brad Pitt talks divorce, giving up alcohol

LOS ANGELES – Brad Pitt is opening up for the first time about his pending divorce from Angelina Jolie and his relationship with their children. Pitt told GQ Style magazine that the recent chaos in his personal life was “self-inflicted.” Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September, days after it was reported that Pitt was abusive toward their 15-year-old son on a plane. Pitt eventually was cleared by authorities. The 53-year-old actor said he has quit drinking since then and is seeing a therapist. Pitt said he and Jolie have agreed to “work together” on shared custody of their six children because it’s “very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart.” Pitt said he has to focus less on work and more on listening to his children.

Tips for using bug spray on kids Dear Doctors: Is it safe to use an insect repellent with DEET on my 5-month-old? Here in Tennessee, we’re approaching prime mosquito season, and we want our little boy to be able to play outside without getting all bitten up. Dear Reader: There’s nothing like the thin, high whine of a mosquito to let you know your picnic or hike or nap on the porch is about to be ruined by slapping, itching and scratching. Unfortunately, mosquitoes also are known carriers of serious diseases. West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis have been diagnosed in some areas of the United States. The Zika virus, while rare in the United States, also is a mosquito-borne disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, insect repellents that contain DEET are safe to use on children 2 months old and older. DEET, which is shorthand for (deep breath) N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, is the active ingredient in a wide array of insect repellents. DEET does not kill insects. It works by blocking the sensory mechanisms that tell insects something delicious is nearby. Instead of detecting the chemical markers we humans emit in our breath and sweat, the bugs smell ... nothing. They pass us by. There are specific guidelines you should follow when using DEET on a child. The CDC recommends you never use a product with a concentration of more than 30 percent DEET. The percentage of DEET in a product doesn’t make the insect repellent stronger or more potent; what that number measures is the length of time the insect repellent will be effective. Products with concentrations of 10 percent keep bugs at bay for about two hours. Those with 21 to 25 percent DEET provide between five to eight hours of protection.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier And, please note – current recommendations state children should not have more than one application of DEET a day. Although some insect repellents with DEET have sunscreen mixed in, it’s best to steer clear of those. Sunscreen must be reapplied throughout the day to be effective. However, since kids should only get one application of DEET a day, the mixed product is of limited use. It’s best to start with a base layer of sunscreen and then add insect repellent. You can then add more sunscreen throughout the day as needed. Insect repellent should be applied to exposed skin and to clothing. When using a spray, apply it outdoors and be sure to keep it away from food. Make sure neither you nor your child inhales the product. We find that while a spray works well on clothes, insect repellent wipes are great for precise applications to a child’s wriggling body. And never put insect repellent on a child’s hands, which so often find their way into mouths and eyes. Once back indoors, wash the treated skin with soap and water. Treated clothes should be washed before wearing again. One final thought: While repellents are a great tool, give them a boost by keeping kids in long-sleeved pants and shirts when in the buggy great outdoors. • Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY My brother has been married Jeanne for 11 years to a Phillips woman who is very controlling. She’s 32, he’s 38, and they have two kids. She has all the traits of a bully. She decided if, when and how they got married, whether to have kids, when and how many. She also decides what he wears and what friends he has. She doesn’t allow him to socialize with his friends, controls his work schedule, home schedule, etc. When things don’t go her way, she yells and screams. I’m afraid this unhealthy relationship is beginning to affect their kids. I hate to see him taken advantage of. What can I do or say to him to help him be more assertive? Or should I talk to her instead? – Concerned Sister Dear Concerned Sister: You can’t wave a magic wand and make someone who isn’t assertive be assertive. Nowhere in your letter did you mention your brother has confided he’s unhappy with his wife running things. If he does, suggest he talk to a psychologist for tips on how to change the dynamic in his marriage. If not, you should stay out of it. Dear Abby: I am a man in my 70s. I want to be married. I have never been, but I have always wanted the experience of a wedding. The bulk of my life has been spent acquiring five graduate degrees beyond high school. I have terminated several long-term relationships and had two failed engagements. Is there any hope for a wedding for me before my Maker calls? – Forlorn In The U.S.A. Dear Forlorn: You may yearn for the experience of a wedding, but have you considered what responsibilities may come afterward? Weddings are expensive, but divorce can be more so. I find it interesting you would ask this question without mentioning you had a particular love interest in mind. Until you figure out why you have a history of failed relationships, I do not think you should rush to the altar. Throw a nice party instead. Dear Abby: I am a 35-year-old woman who is returning to community college after a 10-year absence. I’m disturbed by the lack of respect some of my classmates show. Many times they show up 30 to 45 minutes late. (The classes are only an hour and 15 minutes long.) Also, some of them constantly talk during the lectures, forcing the teachers to talk over them. When I was in college the first time, teachers were allowed to deny a student entry to class if they arrived late and to kick students out if they were causing a disturbance. These students are robbing us of our class time because the teacher must make time to let them in, wait for them to stop talking, etc. Is this just me being too serious, or is this a generational problem of parents not raising children to respect others? – Cranky College Lady Dear Cranky: Neither one. It’s a case of a teacher not being in control of his/her classroom. Talk to the teacher about how you feel, and to the head of the department if you think new rules should be put in place. Your point is valid.

Giese helps Huntley extend winning streak to 15 games By ALEX KANTECKI

Coach Vanderlinden at the White House yesterday and at Jacobs High School today! #AirForce @MitzWilliam – @JimmyWormsley (Jacobs junior on the visit from Air Force linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden)

Congrats to @Colton__Klein on committing to Carthage I’m gonna miss you next year – @rupcich_andrew (McHenry football) Follow our writers on Twitter: Kyle Nabors – @KyleNabors Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Sean Hammond – @sean_hammond Alex Kantecki – @akantecki John Wilkinson – @jwilks26

What to watch MLB: Philadelphia at Cubs, 1 p.m., WGN The Phillies’ Zach Eflin (0-0, 1.89 ERA) faces the Cubs’ John Lackey (2-3, 5.10). MLB: White Sox at Kansas City, 1 p.m., CSN The Sox’s Derek Holland (2-2, 2.17) takes on the Royals’ Ian Kennedy (0-2, 2.30).

ALGONQUIN – If she had it her way, Huntley junior Tiffany Giese would pitch every day. “I’ve got to keep pitching,” Giese said. “Every day. Or else ... that’s when I go downhill.” Giese and Huntley had a five-day break between games with prom sandwiched in between. On Wednesday, Giese again was up to the task for the streaking Red Raiders, tossing a five-inning shutout in a 10-0 Fox Valley Conference softball victory over Jacobs. It was Huntley’s 15th straight win since a 10-3 loss to Lockport on April 8. The Raiders improved to 18-4 overall and 11-0 in the FVC. Hampshire (17-7) is second in the conference at 9-3. Giese needed 75 pitches Wednesday, throwing 54 pitches for strikes and striking out eight batters. The Golden Eagles managed only four singles against Giese, and Hayley Masching reached base on a hit-bypitch in the fourth. Giese, who moved to 17-3 and has pitched in all but one game for Huntley, allowed one base runner for Jacobs to get into scoring position. She struck out four of the last six batters faced. “Even in the offseason, Tiff knows she’s going to get a majority of the innings for us,” Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said. “We do a lot of work with her conditioning to make sure that she’s ready. “Tiff gets stronger as the year goes on, and she’s in a nice little groove right now.” The last time Giese faced the Eagles (9-9-1, 4-7 FVC), they nearly sent Huntley to its first conference loss of the season. scoring four runs in the sixth. The Raiders answered with three runs in the bottom half – including a game-tying base hit by Giese – and Rylie Porretto ended the game on a walkoff home run in the seventh. “They’re a good hitting team,” said Giese, who committed to Division II UW-Green Bay in the fall. “I just wanted to stay ahead of them. When I get down in counts, that’s when I struggle most. My rise ball was working, which is kind of strange. I couldn’t get a pitch up in the zone, so we just kind of tried it out,

Giese scored two of those runs and added a steal. Jackie Dorin drove in the first run

Rylie Porretto had a two-out RBI single to score Giese in the fourth, and Sofia Tenuta followed with a two-run home run, her second straight game with a long ball. Taylor Pacana added two hits, and Autumn Kasal scored a run. “There’s not one place in our lineup where it’s going to be three quick outs,” said Dorin, who finished 2 for 3 with two runs scored. “We’re always getting hits back to back to back.” Five out of the 10 runs charged against Jacobs freshman Savannah Svedman were unearned. She allowed 10 hits in five innings, walking one. Since beating Prairie Ridge, 6-0, on April 21, the Eagles have lost four of five overall. “We’re in a big slump right now,” Jacobs coach Katie O’Brien said. “Our team batting average was the highest I have ever seen it here in my three years, and now we’re all slumping at the same time. “We know we’ll pull out of it. Our girls are competitors.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD PREVIEW

Woodstock’s Erwin enters final stretch of 33-year career By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Steve Erwin admits he was far from gifted athletically. “I always said I was short, slow and weak,” he said. “And I grew up to be tall, slow and weak.” Still, track and field was in Erwin’s genes. His father, Bob, was Rochelle’s head coach for decades and when Erwin landed at Woodstock as a math teacher in 1984, he knew he wanted to coach as well. As it turned out, Erwin landed the job as head girls track coach in his first year at Woodstock. He is retiring from teaching and coaching after this school year, making Thursday’s first Kishwaukee River Conference Girls Track and Field Meet Erwin’s last conference meet. The KRC meet starts at 3:45 p.m. with field events at Marengo’s Rod Poppe Fields. Running events begin at 5. Erwin is thankful his father, who is now 90, has been there throughout his entire coaching career to help him, advise and just watch. Bob was there at the Woodstock Invitational on Friday when Erwin was honored for his career. “He just turned 90 in January,” Erwin said. “We can’t stop him, we can

I’m real happy that my dad has been able to be part of my track career for the entire thing.” Erwin graduated from Southern Illinois University and came to Woodstock, but did not expect to be head coach right away. Former Blue Streaks athletic director Jim Shipley came to Erwin and said he needed him to replace Dave Lichtenheld, who was retiring, so Erwin accepted. “I hadn’t thought of coaching girls, I thought I would coach boys,” Erwin said. “After a couple years, that’s what I wanted to do. I leaned on Dave quite a bit, he helped me out a lot, especially

that first year. My dad was still coaching, so he wasn’t able to get up here as much.” Erwin’s longevity, coaching a sport for 33 years at one school, is a rarity. “We won some Fox Valley Conference championships back in the ’80s and ’90s, and some (McHenry) County championships,” Erwin said. “I feel like I’ve tried to not just become a competitive coach, but also somebody who tries to have people do the right things on and off the track, interacting with other people. “I’ve enjoyed the competition, the relationships with the athletes, the fellow coaches, on my team and coaches from other teams too. I’ve made some very good friends with other coaches.” Erwin would like to help his successor in ways like Lichtenheld aided him as a young coach, although he does not want to get in the way. “I don’t plan to earn a paycheck coaching track and field anymore,” Erwin said. “I want to be around and help when I can if they want me. I want to go watch them, that’s for sure.” Erwin and his wife, Donna, plan on staying in the area, but moving from Woodstock. He will stay occupied working on their new home and playing more golf.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Anyone who has ever played softball has hoped for the chance to have the game on the line, and your at-bat be the potential difference in the game. For Prairie Ridge sophomore Maggie Schremp, that scenario happened twice Wednesday. Trailing 4-3 in the seventh inning, Schremp tied the game with an RBI single to force extra innings. In the eighth inning, it was Schremp’s time to shine again. “I went up to the plate with a lot of confidence looking for a pitch I could drive,” Schremp said. “I knew since the bases were loaded I just had to make solid contact and we had a chance to score. It wasn’t an ideal hit, but I was happy to help the team out.” Schremp made just enough contact, which allowed Abby Zuniga to come home on an error and Prairie

Ridge defeated Crystal Lake South, 6-5, in eight innings in a Fox Valley Conference matchup at Prairie Ridge High School. Early in the game, it was the Gators (13-9, 5-6) who made the plays. South started with a solo home run by Emily Sulikowski in the first and took advantage of some PR mistakes with solo runs in the third and fifth inning. South starter Tina Toniolo gave up a run in the opening inning but kept the Wolves off balance for the first four innings and pitched out of jams anytime she got into one. “We made some mental mistakes early, which cost us,” PR coach Mike Buck said. “We did a nice job of coming from behind today. This was definitely a team win with contributions from our whole lineup.” The Wolves bats started to heat up in the fifth inning.

4 JOHNSBURG GIRLS BASKETBALL

Ashley Arff is new Skyhawks coach By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com Ashley Arff sat in the stands in February when the Johnsburg girls basketball team lost to Antioch in an IHSA Class 3A sectional final. Arff, an assistant girls basketball coach at Grant for the past two seasons, knows former Skyhawks coach Brad Frey well. “I wanted to say, ‘Why don’t you try this? Why don’t you try that?’ ” Arff said. “But that wasn’t my place.” Now it will be her place. Johnsburg announced Arff as Frey’s replacement as varsity coach Wednesday. She also will teach special education at Johnsburg. “It’s just a really great opportu-

nity to be able to join this strong, strong program,” Arff said. Frey resigned after the season ended, a season that included a second consecutive regionAshley al title. Frey served as Arff Johnsburg head coach for six seasons and had coached within the program for 17 years. The 29-year-old Arff lives in Johnsburg and teaches special education at Crosby Elementary in Harvard. She played basketball at Grant and went on to play at Division II Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Arff graduated from Converse in

2010 and still holds the single-season and career scoring records at the school. Arff served as the head coach at Harvard for two seasons, 2013-14 and 2014-15, before she became an assistant at Grant. Her Hornets teams went 7-40. “Previous head coaching position was a big thing for us,” Johnsburg athletic director Tom Ross said. “With the reputation we have and the strength of our girls basketball program, we wanted to make sure that we were bringing in a coach that had previous experience.” Arff envisions a Skyhawks team that pushes the ball more and attacks the basket. She acknowledged that the Skyhawks – who graduate only

four seniors from a 25-9 campaign – are a great shooting team. She hopes to add different looks on defense: more full-court press and a mix between man-to-man and zone. “I’m very lucky to have such a talented group of girls that know how to play basketball,” Arff said. “It might be a different mindset coming in and somebody new to get up to that next level and go to state, hopefully.” Ross said he expects the success the program found under Frey will continue under Arff. “She’s going to continue the legacy of Coach Frey,” Ross said. “She’s a little more intense. It’s the intensity with which she played the game and I think that’s going to carry over into her coaching.”

heading to Sub-Sectional B in the McHenry Sectional. South and McHenry should receive the top seeds in that Sub-Sectional and be sent to different regionals. C-G and Jacobs are host sites for Sub-Sectional A. Huntley and Hampshire will be sent west with DeKalb and the Rockford-area schools. Huntley likely will get that top seed. In Class 3A, six area teams will be in the Chicago Lake View Sectional (Harvard, Johnsburg, Marian Central, Richmond-Burton, Woodstock and Woodstock North). Marengo will be sent west to the Sycamore Sectional. Marengo-BC benefit: Marengo and Burlington Central will hold their annual “The Game to End Alzheimer’s” at 11 a.m. Saturday at Marengo’s Rod Poppe Fields. The teams will wear white and purple to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s. Those uniforms will be auctioned for $20 each after the game with proceeds going to The Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Chicago. All money from concessions will go to the ALZ Foundation and there also will be raffles for several prizes that have been donated, such as White Sox tickets, Schaumburg Boomers and Kane County Cougars tickets, Zanies tickets, a Planet Fitness two-month membership, along with gift cards to many local businesses or restaurants. There will be silent auctions for other prizes such as Cubs’ tickets, golf at Blackstone Golf Club, wreaths and a wooden bat signed by one of the teams. Marengo coach Josh Maas said the teams welcome volunteer help for the day

for the raffle and auctions. Strike Out Cancer game: Hampshire coach John Sarna has set up another Strike Out Cancer game this season as he had in previous seasons. The Whip-Purs will host McHenry at 6 p.m. May 19 at Trout Park in Elgin. Players from both teams will promote White Sox pitcher Derek Holland’s 60 Feet 6 Foundation by wearing his “Strike Out Cancer” T-shirts. The Strike Out Cancer campaign was started by Colorado Rockies reliever Jason Motte. Players will swing wood bats in the game, provided by Hoosier Bat Company, and painted in colors to represent different types of cancers. The teams will have a bat draft May 18 after their game at McHenry. The draft will take place at Buffalo Wild Wings in Crystal Lake. Each team will pick the colors of bats they will use the next day. The bats will be sold through a silent auction during the game. There also are a variety of other items that will be available to bid on during the game.

Inside Baseball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK JOEY BROWN Woodstock, Sr., P-OF Brown was instrumental in a pair of Kishwaukee River Conference victories over Richmond-Burton for the Blue Streaks last week. The right-hander threw a 12-2, five-inning complete game against the Rockets on Thursday, striking out five and walking one. He also was 2 for 3 in that game with a triple and two RBIs. On Friday, he hit a grand slam and knocked in five runs as Woodstock downed R-B, 20-8. NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS (Records through Tuesday) 1. Crystal Lake South (21-1): The Gators have won seven in a row and held a one-game lead, at 12-1, over Huntley in the Fox Valley Conference heading into Wednesday’s games. A big win came last week, a 13-12 triumph over Jacobs after trailing 11-5. 2. Huntley (19-4): The Red Raiders have won 13 of their last 14 games and took 2 of 3 in their series with Cary-Grove. The pitching remains tight, with one run allowed in their past three games. 3. McHenry (13-5): The Warriors are still in the thick of the FVC race at 9-3. They beat Crystal Lake Central twice and then held off Dundee-Crown on Monday. 4. Cary-Grove (14-7): The Trojans often are victims of their own mistakes, but still can be tough with Matt McCumber, Quinn Priester and Mike Eleftheriou on the hill. 5. Johnsburg (12-10): The Skyhawks

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week overall record is not that impressive, but their 8-1 KRC record and nine wins in their past 10 games vaults them into the rankings for the first time. NOTEWORTHY Taking shape: The Fox Valley Conference race has sorted itself out into a three-team competition between Crystal Lake South, Huntley and McHenry. South led Huntley by one game and McHenry by 21/2 heading into Wednesday’s games. The schedule has worked out well since Huntley has McHenry, then South among its final three FVC series. Cary-Grove and Jacobs have been the FVC’s other top teams, although others have been threats to the top teams at times. Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski tries to embrace the stress of so many tough games. “It’s about winning series and see what happens,” Jakubowski said. “We’ve had four series and we were able to win all four. I’ll tell you what, it’s a lot of fun, I’m drained after Game 3 happens.” Where they’ll go: Those top three FVC teams should wind up in separate Class 4A regionals when those pairings are announced, with South and McHenry assigned to Sub-Sectional A, and Huntley

WHAT TO WATCH McHenry vs. Huntley • McHenry is in third place in the FVC, Huntley was in second as they started the week. The series starts at 10 a.m. Saturday in Huntley, with the next two games Monday at McHenry and Tuesday at Huntley. Burlington Central vs. Johnsburg • The Skyhawks’ hot streak has left them as the only KRC team with a realistic shot at catching Burlington in the conference standings. They start Monday in Johnsburg, then play Wednesday and Thursday.

6 CUBS 5, PHILLIES 4

Another rally means another victory By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Every day it seems Cubs manager Joe Maddon has to tick off, one by one, the areas in which he believes his team will reach its levels from last year. Some days it’s the defense. Some days it’s the offense. On Wednesday, the subject was starting pitching. Heading into the evening’s 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, Cubs starting pitchers had an ERA of 4.66. That ranked 12th in the National League and 26th in Major League Baseball. Last season, Cubs starting pitchers led baseball with a sparkling 2.96 ERA. Cubs starters entered Wednesday’s game with just nine quality starts compared with 17 nonquality starts. As he has when talking about other facets of the Cubs’ game, Maddon sounded an optimistic tone. “Actually, to keep our head above water while it’s not happening, I kind of like it because I know it’s going to happen,” he said of the starters regaining their old form. “Our guys are good. They’re well. They’re going to continue to pitch better. “For us to be in the position we’re in right now while they’re not at the top of their game, I kind of like it, actually, because they’re going to be there. They’re going to get there. They’re going to pitch very similar to what you’ve seen the last couple years. I 100 percent believe that. “In the meantime, let’s just keep moving it further along.” Jake Arrieta gutted out six innings

The Cubs’ Willson Contreras hits a pinch-hit double off Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff, scoring Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist, during the sixth inning Wednesday at Wrigley Field. and 85 pitches for the quality start as he gave up six hits and three runs while walking one and striking out seven. “Collectively, I don’t think we’re throwing the ball as well as we would like,” said Arrieta, who improved to 4-1 with a 4.63 ERA. “Again, sometimes that’s the game of baseball kind of rearing its head and letting you know anything is possible in this game. “Once you think you have it figured out, you kind of get bit in the (butt). It’s

a good sign we’re at where we are without throwing the ball as crisp as we’re capable of as a staff. But we’re all confident things will change.” A four-run rally in the sixth allowed the Cubs to rally from a 3-1 deficit. Willson Contreras hit a pinch two-run double and scored from second base on pinch hitter Matt Szczur’s infield single to short. Contreras dove into home plate and knocked the wind out of himself.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Say this for Rick Renteria: He has his players buying his hustle first and ask questions later style. Since his first day on the job as White Sox manager, Renteria promoted effort, executing and doing the little things, which all managers ask for. It’s been pretty evident in the Sox’s first 26 games, win lose or lose big as they did against the Royals on Wednesday night, that they’re aiming to please the boss and giving him what he wants.

“He plays with his hair on fire,” Maddon said. “Sometimes it can actually work against him. He gets a little bit over-assertive. As he learns to play with his hair on fire … not absolutely a forest fire, maybe just slightly like the burning bush of some kind, I don’t know. He’s going to learn to control all that.” Added Contreras: “I don’t know how to play cold. I have to get my heat going on, and I’ll be a better player.”

“Ricky is a special guy,” said veteran Melky Cabrera, 32, who has played for six major league teams. “We all try to do our best for him because we know he is trying to do his best for us. There is mutual respect, a connection there. There is a mentality and philosophy he brought here to hustle and do your best no matter the score.” Sox players run hard on routine grounders and infield pop-ups till the play is over. They’ve been alert to backing up bases and throwing to the right base and doing, as they like to say, “the little things.” “We play hard,” Leury Garcia said. “It worked in spring training and we’re still doing it. Everybody hus-

tles down the line. When you have everyone doing that, you have a better chance to win.” The Sox didn’t have much of a chance against right-hander Nate Karns in their 6-1 loss at Kauffman Stadium. Karns stifled them with six scoreless innings of one-hit ball, striking out seven before turning it over to the bullpen. Sox right-hander Mike Pelfrey pitched five scoreless innings before getting charged with three runs in the sixth, two runs coming on consecutive run-scoring extra base hits by Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain to right center that scooted to the wall beyond right fielder Avisail Garcia’s reach.

Woman hit by stray bullet during Cardinals game

ST. LOUIS – Police said Wednesday they were investigating after a woman attending a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game was grazed in the arm by a stray bullet that apparently originated outside Busch

Stadium. The 34-year-old victim was inside the ballpark Tuesday during the game against the Milwaukee Brewers when she felt pain in her arm. She went to a first-aid station for treatment and a bullet was later found near her seat. She had an abrasion on one of her elbows. St. Louis police said the incident simply “amplifies our yearly message of encouraging ‘Fun Without Guns.’ ”

Red Sox permanently ban fan for racial slur at another fan

BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox have permanently banned a fan from Fenway Park who used a racial slur toward another fan. The Red Sox took the action Wednesday in the wake of Baltimore star Adam Jones being racially taunted during a game in Boston. The Red Sox said Tuesday night it was reported to team security that a racial slur was used by one fan toward another. The Red Sox said the offending fan was ejected from the stands and has been told they are “no longer welcome at Fenway Park.” The team didn’t identify the person.

8 BULLS

GarPax likely sticking with same direction By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Fred Hoiberg will be back as Bulls coach. No surprise there. John Paxson is still vice president of basketball operations, while Gar Forman is still general manager. Again, Bulls status quo with no change of power on the horizon or additions to that dynamic. And as Paxson and Forman pointed out in Wednesday’s end-of-the-season address, very little could be changing with the on-the-court product this offseason because of the corner the front office has painted itself into with this current roster make-up. In the end, it was 40-plus minutes of a lot of talk with shallow substance. What Paxson would divulge in some detail is that while they would love to go out and build a championship-caliber team around Jimmy Butler by adding another superstar, well, that’s just not realistic for them. That’s why when Paxson meets with Dwyane Wade and Butler separately in the next month, he will reiterate that

“As we get younger, it’s still really important to have quality veterans around your young players.” John Paxson

Bulls vice president of basketball operations the plan moving forward remains being competitive while developing youth. “Like I said, Dwyane has a [$23.8 million player] option and we’re going to sit down with him and talk to him about all of this as well,” Paxson said. “The thing with Jimmy is all of us would love to go out and get another superstar player to go along with him, but right now the situation we’re in with the salaries we have, that type of thing, that’s a difficult thing for us to manage.” While Paxson did confirm that he and Butler would meet to discuss the direction of the team, the Sun-Times reported last week that the two have already scheduled a time frame to talk, and that the front office was committed to doing damage control on the relationship.

HORSE RACING

Leparoux helps 3 horses into the Kentucky Derby By GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For a moment last winter, Julien Leparoux wondered if he might be a spectator for the Kentucky Derby. Fast forward several months to the jockey not only participating but almost having multiple horses to ride in a bid to win his first Run for the Roses. Leparoux always was certain to ride Classic Empire, the colt who is the early 4-1 favorite for Saturday’s race at Churchill Downs. After all, the 33-year-old Frenchman has ridden the colt to five victories in six starts, including last month’s Arkansas Derby that earned a Kentucky Derby spot. On the other hand, that Arkansas win left Leparoux with a good problem to have just a week after he rode Irap to victory in the Blue Grass at Keeneland. Three in-the-money finishes with State of Honor earned that

horse enough Derby points to make the 20-horse field as well. “The winter’s been crazy, Derby-wise,” said Leparoux, who will break from the No. 14 post with Classic Empire. “Went from nothing to having three in the Derby. ... We picked up Irap and win the Blue Grass, which was a good surprise, and then State of Honor has run good all winter. “It’s been a good winter and spring, for sure.” In truth, Leparoux likely would’ve merited consideration for a Derby mount even without getting a horse into the field. The Eclipse Award-winning jockey has nearly 2,400 wins with seven Breeders’ Cup triumphs, including last year’s Juvenile aboard Classic Empire. But by qualifying three Derby hopefuls in as many weeks, Leparoux has demonstrated an ability to coax something more out of his mounts.

Butler has been the subject of trade rumors for almost two years now, and has privately expressed his anger about the front office not saying enough publicly to show a commitment to him. While Butler knows that even a commitment can change if the right trade comes the Bulls’ way, his feeling has been that it’s almost as if GarPax have downplayed his importance. The Sun-Times reported several times over the past month that if the front office doesn’t believe that Butler is a significant piece moving forward, Butler is poised to tell them go ahead and move him this summer. His first choice is stay in Chicago, but not to stay in the trade rumor mill. At least on Wednesday, Paxson publicly started taking steps in mending that bridge, even if they were baby

steps. “I respect very much Jimmy Butler’s professionalism and how he goes about his job,” Paxson said. “I think the one thing we will do is continue to communicate with him. Like I said earlier, we’re going to sit down and talk to him. We can say anything to him, he can say anything to us. He can ask any questions he wants and we’ll be honest with him. Look, that’s the responsibility for us to do. He’s our best player.” The big winner on Wednesday? Veteran point guard Rajon Rondo, who will make $13.4 million next season, unless the Bulls buy him out for $3 million. They seem set on the first option. “As we get younger, it’s still really important to have quality veterans around your young players,” Paxson said. “To a man, our young people loved Rajon. He was great in the locker room. He was great off the court with these guys.” Paxson did say that Nikola Mirotic is also a player they want to retain, but the market will determine that for the restricted free agent.

Better ductwork boosts home ventilation SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Hidden behind walls and snaking into every room, ductwork makes heating and airconditioning possible. This hard-working series of tin, fiberglass, or flexible plastic tubes transports airflow throughout the house. When the ducts are properly placed, cleaned, and sealed, the furnace and air-conditioner can work properly for maximum home comfort. No matter how energy efficient your air conditioner or furnace are, if ducts aren’t functioning well, money is wasted in cooling and heating air that may be escaping in your attic. This causes your system to work harder and possibly overheat. If ducts grow narrow with debris, or crack and leak, temperature problems arise that homeowners often mistakenly blame on their heating or cooling unit. Fixing the ducts could fix the problem, according to Tom Eppers, coowner, Dowe & Wagner, a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning company (HVAC) serving residential and commercial customers in Illinois and Wisconsin.

What are the signs of air duct leaks? Rooms that seem more difficult to heat or cool, and higher utlility costs, explains Eppers. HVAC professionals can test homes to determine if there are leaks, and seal them according to industry standards (and not “duct” tape, which experts say is not a long-term solution). Eppers adds that homes built before 1950 and before air conditioning was commonplace may need extra ductwork installed to accommodate cooling systems. He says that traditional ductwork in Midwestern homes often focuses on heat, which is turned on 75 percent of the time. Insufficient ductwork can explain why some homes’ upstairs rooms aren’t as comfortable as the main floor. Eppers offers a simple solution to try to improve airflow before making a service call: adjust the HVAC’s dampers, which are valves or plates inside the ducts that regulate airflow. Loosening the wing nuts outside the ducts moves the dampers to re-direct airflow.

The Associated Press

In James Gunn’s sequel to his swashbuckling space Western, the Guardians of the Galaxy do their version of “The Empire Strikes Back,” complete with daddy issues but with a considerably more anarchic spirit and enough acerbic interplay among its interstellar gang to make Obi-Wan blush. The wild whiz-bang of the first “Guardians” and its gleeful upending of superhero conventions was, I thought, not the second-coming others felt it was. Having sat through a meteor shower of imposingly well-made Marvel products, the toopleased-with-itself “Guardians” felt to me like an intensely scripted politician trying to smugly crack wise. When the motley crew of scavengers reunites in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” many of its tricks – the anachronistic ’70s hits, the exotically foul-mouthed creatures – are not the sneak attack they were in 2014. But that turns out to be a good thing. No longer so busy advertising his movie’s genre transgressions, Gunn, who wrote and directed the sequel, is free to swim backstrokes through his cosmic, CGIspiced gumbo. It’s a soupy, silly spectacle that recalls, if nothing else, the weird, kaleidoscopic design of a Parliament-Funkadelic album cover. Gunn’s film also shares George Clinton’s goofy extravagance (and includes his song “Flashlight”), and a neon-colored cast with its own Mothership. There are two types in the universe, Dave Bautista’s muscle-mound Drax declares early on, “Those who dance and those who do not.” In the “Guardians” universe, which blithely mocks just about

“GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2” STARRING: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista PLOT: Set to the backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage. RATED: PG-13 for sequences of sci-ﬁ action and violence, language and brief suggestive content RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 16 minutes everything, this is close to a mission statement. Whereas the first film featured Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill on a faraway planet bopping to Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love,” the early scenes of “Vol. 2” find the Guardians battling some giant monster while Baby Groot – the extraterrestrial tree turned sapling (voiced by Vin Diesel) – grooves to ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky.” The “Guardians” universe, made up of such ironies and oddities, worships at the altar of incongruity. Referenced within are “Cheers,” Mary Poppins, Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl),” David Hasselhoff and Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” It’s the kind of wacked-out tapestry even Lindsey Buckingham would find headspinning. While Quill resembles a classic Han Solo-like hero, his fellow Guardians – Zoe Saldana’s green-skinned Gamora, the caustic, Bradley Cooper-voiced raccoon Rocket, Drax and Groot – are a multispecies band of outsiders. No two are alike in temperament or genetics. Although they bicker endlessly, they’re a cobbled-together, multispecies family, just one more likely to trade insults than hugs. And the nature of family is at the

center of “Vol. 2.” Quill, having lost his mother as a young child in the first film, learns his father is a “celestial,” or deity, named Ego (Kurt Russell), with a planet of his own creation. The Guardians meet him after fleeing the remote-controlled pods that pursue them when Rocket steals batteries from Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), the High Priestess of the golden-hued Sovereign race. Returning is Michael Rooker’s excellent Yondu Udonta, who resembles a rejected audition to the Blue Man Group and controls a lethal arrow with a whistle. He’s hired to capture the Guardians, but his character – who raised the orphaned Quill – plays an unexpectedly emotional role in Quill’s journey into his past. The effect is similar for Gamora’s sister Nebula, the Guardians’ furious prisoner. Others are in the mix, too, including a brief cameo by Sylvester Stallone and, more impressively, Chris Sullivan’s mutinying, unfortunately named pirate Taserface. All of the names, though, are kind of a joke, as is much of the plot (batteries?), the planets and, well, the whole operation. In one scene, a ship shoots through so many hyper-speed portals their faces go bug-eyed like Looney Tunes characters, maybe revealing the films’ underlying DNA. But while this “Guardians of the Galaxy” has no earnest belief in its sci-fi theatrics (the credits action scene largely is just blurry background to Baby Groot’s dancing), it believes surprisingly sincerely in its characters’ inner lives, the ones buried beneath their sarcastic exteriors. “Guardians” takes place further in the reaches of the galaxy than any other Marvel movie, yet it’s the most earthbound. In the words of David Bowie, another space oddity, let’s dance.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Nostalgia, stars and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” That’s Scott Dehn’s kind of weekend. “I can’t wait for Friday,” said the owner of McHenry Outdoor Theater, which opens for the season May 5 with a double-feature weekend showing of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” followed by “Beauty and the Beast.” “The weather forecast looks really good,” he said. “I’m expecting close to a sellout, especially on Saturday.” Admission for a night of both movies is $12 for adults, $6 for children ages 11 and younger, seniors and military. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., with the first movie beginning when it is completely dark Friday and Saturday at the theater, 1510 Chapel Hill Road. Originally opened in 1955 – with Dehn taking over in 2012 – the theater has survived while other

outdoor theaters throughout the nation have not. Once home to 120 drive-in theaters during the 1950s, Illinois is believed to have about 10 still in operation, according to the United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association. As far as Dehn’s concerned, the McHenry theater won’t be going anywhere. Having previously leased the land, he recently bought the property to prevent any development on it. “It’ll be a drive-in for as long as I’m around,” he said. He attributes the McHenry theater’s success to the community, which helped save the theater back in 2013 when the movie industry forced a switch from 35 mm film to digital – a format cheaper for studios and distributors. Dehn struggled to find a way to raise the more than $100,000 needed to make the upgrade when Honda, through an initiative to help preserve what the company called an “iconic part of American car culture,” surprised Dehn with the news his theater had won one of five digital projectors.

Community votes resulted in McHenry’s selection. “I think as long as you can offer a clean and affordable place and keep things family friends and at least maintain the property, make sure it looks nice and it’s something you want to bring your kids to . . . we’ll be here,” he said. He’s looking to expand activities at the theater this summer with outdoor concerts coinciding with movies. He first tested it out last October with a performance by Pink Floyd tribute band The Divison Bell followed by movie showings of 1982’s “Pink Floyd: The Wall” and 1984’s “This is Spinal Tap” as part of the theater’s popular

Fall Throwback schedule. No bands or dates have been confirmed yet, but the goal is to expand the Fall Throwback activities even more this year, he said, with not only concerts, but party favors and celebrity appearances. Dehn expects a busy summer, with blockbuster movies, such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (May 26), “Cars 3” (June 16), “Transformers: The Last Knight” (June 23), “Despicable Me 3” (June 30), “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (July 7) and “War for the Planet of the Apes” (July 14). “All of those I can’t wait for,” Dehn said.

SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW

In flux

Amid wall-to-wall blockbusters, sands of summer are shifting By JAKE COYLE • The Associated Press

Does the summer movie season still exist? It once was an air-conditioned oasis that drew lines around the block of audiences eager for the roller-coaster ride of “Indiana Jones,” the shark bite of “Jaws” and the buzz of a lightsaber. But in a time where the mega-movie business is year-round, that once hallowed season of moviegoing – maybe the quintessential big-screen, popcorn-eating experience – no longer means the same thing. The summer blockbuster didn’t wilt away. It grew too big to content itself just with just May through August. Studios in recent years have begun spreading out their spectacles through the year. Like a King Kong that broke its chains, the summer movie now lumbers down every avenue. It’s blockbuster gentrification. There’s a Godzilla on every block. This year already has seen one $1 billion movie (“Beauty and the Beast”), and “Fate of the Furious” isn’t far behind. Others await the cool, vaguely more ‘serious’ breezes of fall, including “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Justice League” and “Blade Runner 2049.” Even “Star Wars,” as if saying goodbye to the kiddie table, has fled summer and taken up residence in December. Notwithstanding some very anticipated movies, that’s left a summer movie season without the same sunny glow it once had.

“What’s missing this summer is something out of leftfield that blows people away,” said Jeff Bock, senior boxoffice analyst for Exhibitor Relations. For a great many of the summer’s biggest movies – “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2,” “Alien: Covenant,” the fifth installments in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Transformers” franchises, “Wonder Woman,” “Cars 3,” “Despicable Me 3,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming” – the main objective will be to satisfy fans of the franchises. Others are hoping for something fresher. Edgar Wright, the British writer-director of “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” is a battle-scarred veteran of that machine, having spent years writing and developing Marvel’s “AntMan” before departing it over creative differences. This summer, he returns with “Baby Driver” (June 28), his “musical car chase movie” about a getaway driver who obsessively soundtracks his high-speed chases. “It ended up being very fortuitous to come out of a heartbreaking experience and jump straight into something I had already written and I really wanted to do and was my dream movie,” Wright said. Following its enthusiastic reception at SXSW in March, “Baby Driver” was pushed by Sony Pictures from August into the heart of the summer. “It won’t be like anything else that’s out in the cinema at that time,” Wright said. “It’s up against the behemoths like ‘Transformers,’ “CARS 3” June 16 ‘Despicable Me’ and ‘Spider-man,’ but it’s not like any of those movies.”

“BABY DRIVER” June 28

Others are trying to reorient the summer movie. Christopher Nolan will trot out his World War II tale “Dunkirk,” about the British evacuation in France. Largely shot with IMAX cameras, “Dunkirk” is the kind of grand historical epic that rarely appears in summer, let alone any other time of year. Some films find reinvention in a shift in perspective. Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled” (June 30), adapted from the 1966 Civil War novel by Thomas P. Cullinan, takes a more female view of the story of a Union soldier who takes shelter in a Confederate girls boarding school than the 1971 version starring Clint Eastwood. Kumail Nanjiani’s “The Big Sick” (June 23) is a funny and tender rom-com, only told with more realism than usual in the genre. Nanjiani plays a PakistaniAmerican stand-up trying to evade an arranged marriage, and is inspired by Nanjiani’s meeting of his wife and collaborator, Emily Gordon. New players also are shaking up the summer. Kathryn Bigelow’s “Detroit” (Aug. 4), about the city’s 1967 riots, will be the first summer film distributed by Megan Ellison’s acclaimed Annapurna Pictures. That, too, is untraditional summer programming, but Bigelow has made a career out of turning complex subjects into heart-pounding cinema. The timing, Bigelow said, has less to do with the summer season than the 50th anniversary of the unrest. But the most significant new entrant to the season is Netflix, which will be rolling out its most ambitious efforts yet. Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi fantasy “Okja,” with Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal, arrives June 28. And with David Michod’s Afghanistan war satire “War Machine,” starring Brad Pitt as a fictionalized Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the

streaming service will take a significant step up in scale (it paid $50 million for the film) and star power. “This is a Netflix film, and there’s something about that that really excites me,” Michod said. “There’s something about the Netflix revolution that makes me feel: Why not?” It’s the kind of subject matter and style – a see-sawing, absurdist tone inspired by films like “Catch-22” and “MA-S-H,” today’s studios likely wouldn’t touch. But Michod (“Animal Kingdom,” “The Rover”) said the world – and the summer movie season – “could use more wild and unusual movies.” “We needed freedom and we needed to be working with people who embraced the risk of the venture,” the Australian director said. So, no, the summer movie season isn’t the same. But in the shadow of superheroes, a new kind of summer movie – on screens big and small – might be growing.

Union museum opens with wine tasting, new resort life exhibit

NORTHWEST HERALD

UNION – Turn of the century tourists who ventured to the shores of Fox River/ Chain O’ Lakes region of Illinois simply were looking to unwind and soak in the ambiance. They’d fish. They’d boat. They’d dance. They might even drink some illegal hooch or play the slots. But the idea was to have fun – be it bar hopping with the aid of homemade pontoon boats or listening to the likes of the Bill Kalte Orchestra giving a floating concert out by the old lighthouse on Coon Island. The McHenry County Historical Society seeks to capture the essence of that time in its new, two-year exhibit: “Waterways and Getaways: Resort Life in McHenry County.” View historic photos, experience a re-created hotel lobby, learn about early boat manufacturers in McHenry County and experience what once was the celebrated lotus flower beds in Grass Lake. Resort owners used to extract the essence of the lotus blossoms to create perfume for the tourists. As homage to the past, visitors can buy perfume of a similar fragrance during the museum’s season-opening soirée from 6 to 9 p.m. May 5. The event features a wine tasting offered by the International House of Wine & Cheese in Richmond and gourmet appetizers by Three Chefs Catering, Crystal Lake. A wine tasting/appetizer package, with a commemorative wine glass, is available for $20. Saxophonist/ pianist Dave Childress will play jazz from the ’20s to the ’40s. Early visitors to Pistakee Bay simply camped out, perhaps on (John) Pitzen’s Point or Justen’s Point. The first automobiles didn’t start showing up at Pistakee Bay until 1902 – about the time John Pitzen sold property on Bald Knob to Steven J. Mellin. Mellin opened the Pistakee Point Club that year, later known as the S.J. Mellin Hotel. The Mineral Spring Hotel, owned by Henry Ericsson on the east side of the bay, purportedly was the first to get phone service at the turn of the century. It also had a post office. But paved roads took a while longer. It wasn’t unusual for those living along the lakeshore to be snowed in for two months, and getting out often required farmers to shovel roads by hand. Elsie (Mertes) Cribben, daughter of Oak Park Hotel owners Joe and Helena (Miller) recorded her memories of that time: “During the first years at the hotel [be-

Our next cars were Fords. I learned to drive on a Model T Ford when I was 15. You had to crank it to start it.” Resort operators had to get creative in order to eek out a living. As Cribben noted, “Business was only for three months – June, July and August. Labor Day was the end. They had to live all year on what they made in summer.” Winter was a time to harvest ice for the icehouse, do some ice fishing for bass and pike, and perhaps do a little ice skating or ice boat racing. Joe Mertes ran the Oak Park for 35 years, starting during the summer of 1895. His son, Bill, then took over for the next 30 years. It changed hands a few more times before Tom Fuchs bought the Oak Park Lounge, at 801 W. Oak Grove Road in Johnsburg, in 1976. With the help of a partner, he set about tending bar for the first time in his life. Fuchs had worked as a computer programmer. Among their first finds was a tin ceiling hidden by a drop ceiling over the art deco bar, as well as the natural gas-powered lighting and bits and pieces of memorabilia in the basement. The remnants included a black cash register, room tickets in the hotel, a damaged menu and some photographs. The hotel next door originally had 15 rooms upstairs, housed over a kitchen, parlor and dining room capable of seating

When it first opened, kerosene lamps were used in each room, flanked by singleor double-iron beds, a chair and a small washstand. Cribben recalled the rates were $1 a night, $4 a day or $22 a week. Meals cost a buck. The hotel was turned into apartments over the years. Fuchs rents out eight and lives in the ninth. Before Mertes built the bar next door, it was located under the hotel (where it returned during Prohibition). The new bar space became a grocery store and meat market for a time. “He [my father] had a good source of beer all summer [and] did a terrific business,” Cribben wrote. “He made enough money that summer to build a house on the hill. He named it ‘Ideal Home,’ and, to him, it was an ideal home.”

BUCK BROS., INC.

Lenin said, “One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour.” A couple of days ago, we learned that after an opening bid, a takeout double and a pass, if fourth hand cue-bids the opener’s suit, it shows 12 points or more. But is that the only bid the advancer can make when this strong? Of course not! Look at the South hand. What should he bid after one club - double - pass around to him? With a balanced hand, a good holding in the opener’s suit (remember, partner is short in that suit) and no length in a major suit, the advancer may bid in no-trump. One no-trump shows 6-9 points, two notrump 10-12 and three no-trump a surprising 13-15. Here, South should leap to three no-trump. After this is passed out and West has led the club jack, how should South proceed? If South has a four-card major, he might well start with a cue-bid, planning to fall back on three no-trump if a 4-4 ﬁt in that suit does not exist. Declarer starts with eight top tricks: four hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Two more winners can be established in spades. South should take the ﬁrst trick and immediately play a spade. West does best to capture that trick and shift to the diamond king, but declarer can win and persevere in spades. The defenders cannot take more than two spades and two diamonds. When in no-trump, immediately play on the suit where you wish to establish winners.
