Fashion: Rugged Americana workwear for the dirtless Nordstrom. You’ve heard the name. I originally thought that a Nordstrom was a type of Scandinavian weather phenomenon, as in, “Yumpin’ yiminey, dars a Nordstrom comin’!”

It also sounded like a Viking-style buffet: “Nordstrom’s got the best salted herring and horse meat kebabs around, and its mead would make Erik the Red’s beard turn white.”

Alas, there is no Nordstrom blowing in from the Norwegian Sea, nor is there a Nordstrom restaurant catering to the buffet pillager inside of us.

Nope, Nordstrom is, sigh, just a department store.

But it’s not just any department store.

Although I personally have never been in a Nordstrom store, I recently visited its online site, and there’s stuff there that would scare your credit card out of your wallet.

For example, they offer a men’s sport shirt for $265. There’s a pair of trousers for $295, sneakers for $320 and a faux leather baseball cap for $390. Oh, and they carry a cologne called “Noir de Noir” for $595. That’s almost $2,000 to look good and smell good, and that’s not even counting the Lorenzo Uomo Flamingo Mini Stripe socks and the microfiber men’s thong underwear.

While I was on the site, just for fun I checked out Nordstrom’s jeans, since recently my wife said if I didn’t get some new pairs soon she was going to donate the old ones to the nearest hazardous material storage facility.

So I browsed their selection: Rock Revival Alternative Straight Leg Jeans, $189; Hudson Jeans Skinny Fit Moto Jeans, $252; Diesel Krooley Jog Slouchy Slim Fit Jeans, $348. I kind of liked the Topman Extreme Ripped Stretched Skinny Fit Jeans, but they looked worse than my old ones.

But then I saw them – the weirdest jeans on the planet.

They are called the Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans.

Here’s the description of them – “Heavily distressed medium-blue denim jeans in a comfortable straight-leg fit embody rugged, Americana workwear that’s seen some hardworking action with a crackled, caked-on

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava muddy coating that shows you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.”

These jeans are just like me – heavily distressed, a piece of Americana and crackled.

At the price tag of $425, they also are like me: exorbitant and discomfiting.

I sat there staring at the photos of these jeans: The front view, the rear view, the side view, the close-up back pocket view, the Google Earth satellite view. Whichever way you looked at them, these jeans just oozed down and dirty.

I started to fantasize about the reaction I would get when the common people in their mundane pants saw me: “My, my, that man must work ruggedly hard!”

“Mom, look; it’s Capt. Americana!”

“Honey, can I get a pair of jeans like that distressed guy?”

“Hey, Betty, if you think I’m a slob, check out that guy!”

“Frank, I think I saw that man on Google Earth!”

Then I heard that Reebok was selling a T-shirt with sweat stains and even odor. And get this: the shirt also sells for $425! For just $850, I have the perfect combo: dirty pants and a stinky shirt – all without having to lift a finger and do any work! Just go into the closet and pull out rugged, dirty, crackled, sweaty, reeking Americana workwear.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I think we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves with this extreme clothing stuff.

As for me, if I want to be dirty and smelly, I’ll earn my sweat and grime and go out and work in the garden.

Then when people see me they’ll say, “Hey, look at that guy with the dirty pants. Betcha he shops at Nordstrom.”

RECOGNIZING THE LAW

Lawyer, mediator honored for service in McHenry County as part of Law Day

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Breaking up is hard to do. So is public service.

That’s why a Crystal Lake lawyer involved in several area organizations and a McHenry County mediator known for making divorce easier were honored Friday for going above and beyond in their respective professions.

As part of the Law Day celebrations Friday in McHenry County, Mark Saladin received the Dis-

tinguished Service Award and Joe Canevello was named the recipient of the Liberty Bell Award, both given out each year by the McHenry County Bar Association.

Law Day, typically celebrated

May 1, is a national day to celebrate the rule of law and its contributions to the freedoms Americans enjoy.

Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower first proclaimed the day in 1958.

Saladin, who also is a Woodstock City Council member, was honored for his work in the legal field. Jennifer Johnson, who works with Saladin, said he has been a mentor to her and many attorneys along the way. She said his selflessness and constant desire to help others make him one of the best recipients they’ve

ever had.

He is a partner at the Zanck, Coen, Wright and Saladin law firm, located in Crystal Lake. His areas of practice include business acquisition; corporation and partnership; nonprofits; wills and trusts; real estate; and zoning and land planning.

The award recognizes bar association members who provide dedicated service and contributions to McHenry County residents. In addition to practicing law, Saladin also serves

This rendering shows plans for the construction of a multi-tenant building, which would include a Panera Bread restaurant, that were brought before the Huntley Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday.

Huntley trustees consider plans for Panera Bread, retail space “We waited a long time, and we’re excited to have Panera.

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Panera Bread could be coming to Huntley.

Plans for the construction of a multitenant building, which would include a Panera Bread restaurant, were brought before the Huntley Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday.

Hamra Enterprises submitted conceptual plans for a proposed 7,500-square-foot building at the southeast corner of Route 47 and Kreutzer Road, village documents show.

About 4,200 square feet of the building would be used for the Panera Bread restaurant with a drive-thru, and the remaining 3,300 square feet would host a retailer that has not yet been identified, documents show.

Ronda Goldman Huntley trustee

Although trustees made a few suggestions regarding the flow of the drive-thru, they overall were supportive of the plan.

“We waited a long time, and we’re excited to have Panera,” Trustee Ronda Goldman said. “And every resident knows about it – it’s the worst kept secret, so we don’t want to hold things up, either.”

Project representatives said that if final plans are approved, construction likely would start this year, and the

Judge lowers bond for man prosecutors say was the ringleader in drug robbery

How many plants do you have inside your home?

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A judge lowered the bond Friday for a local man who prosecutors say was the ringleader of a Crystal Lake drug robbery that ended with two people being stabbed last month.

Brandon D. Rosas, 18, of Crystal Lake was one of six adults and three juveniles charged with vehicular invasion, aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, mob action, aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and two counts of aggravated battery in a public place. If convicted of the most serious offense, a Class 1 felony, the men could face four to 15 years in prison.

Rosas had been held on $80,000 bond, but McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather reduced it to $50,000 after Friday’s hearing. However, it’s not clear whether Rosas will be able to come up with enough money to get out of jail. His family has launched an online fundraising effort to get him released.

At Friday’s bond hearing, Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein said Rosas recruited several people in early April to help set up a drug deal where they would rob and beat up the dealer and anyone else who was with the dealer at the time.

Rosas’ attorney argued that he should be released on a lower bond, noting his work at a church and limited criminal record.

Eisenstein said Rosas was one of the “main actors” who coordinated what was going to happen.

The group met at Taco Bell in Crystal Lake to discuss their plans and to hand out brass knuckles and baseball bats to each of the participants, she said.

The prosecutor said they arrived at the apartment complex parking lot,

entered the dealer’s car from behind, beat up the dealer and another man, and tried to steal their drugs and any money they had.

While this was going on, two cars were parked on either side of the vehicle so the two robbery victims were unable to get out.

The teenagers were trying to steal 4 ounces of marijuana worth $800, according to court records.

Those involved were supposed to be paid in exchange for doing this, she said.

Eisenstein said Rosas threw the first punch. One of the robbery victims stabbed two of the suspects, Tyler A. Novak and Thomas S. Madura, with a knife during the attack.

The victims weren’t charged because they were acting in self-defense, Crystal Lake police have said.

Eisenstein said Rosas told police that “if it would have been a different day, one of the victims would have been beaten up worse.” She also said he posted on social media about a possible retaliation because two of his friends were injured.

“Here, before your honor, is the ringleader,” Eisenstein told Prather.

In addition to Rosas, the other men charged were Davon E. Manning, 18, of Crystal Lake; Dylan P. Macari, 18, of Huntley; Geoffrey M. Miller, 18, of Lake in the Hills; Madura, 18, of Crystal Lake; and Novak, 18, of Lake in the Hills.

Three boys who police said took part in the crimes have not been publicly named because of their age. All

of the other adults already have been released after posting bond.

Eisenstein said the bond previously set was more than reasonable and appropriate given the nature of the charges and what is believed to be his involvement.

Rosas’ attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, noted that although the allegations are serious, Rosas is presumed innocent and has little criminal history. He also said Rosas was employed at Life Changers Church in Hoffman Estates, where his mother also works.

Rosas faces two unrelated misdemeanor charges of resisting a peace officer and underage drinking. He admitted in court to using alcohol and marijuana and has been to treatment twice unsuccessfully.

Rosas said his family would be able to post $3,500 at this time. His parents, who were in court Friday, have set up a fundraising page in hopes of collecting enough money to pay their son’s bond, and they shared the link on their son’s Twitter account. They had raised $130 on the fundraising website as of Friday afternoon.

If he posts bond, Rosas would be required to abide by a curfew, abstain from alcohol and illegal drugs, report to a probation officer, complete a substance abuse evaluation, and follow any recommendations and not speak with any of the co-defendants or victims in the case.

He also would be placed on electronic monitoring. His next court date is May 26.

Dave Jenkins, District 47 assistant superintendent of technology services, said the school has not recovered any of the stolen iPads, and it is working with the contractor to provide payment for the stolen iPads. Jenkins predicted that the total worth of the iPads is between $7,200 and $9,100.

“We are grateful for the diligent efforts of our Technology Solutions Team and Crystal Lake Police Department in tracking down the person responsible for the theft of iPads,” Jenkins said.

“It was impressive to see both units of government working together to bring this case to a close.”

Lucas’ court hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 6 at the McHenry County Courthouse.

Hampshire-area crash kills Pingree Grove teen, sends 5 other teens to hospital NORTHWEST HERALD HAMPSHIRE – A 17-year-old Pingree Grove girl was killed in a two-vehicle crash Thursday night near Hampshire that sent five other teens from Pingree Grove, Lake in the Hills, Algonquin, Hampshire and Huntley to the hospital, police said.

About 8:20 p.m., Kane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Dietrich Road between Route 20 and Brier Hill Road in unincorporated Hampshire Township, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

A 2005 Toyota Corolla was traveling east on Dietrich Road and about to go over a hill when it crossed the center line, according to a preliminary investigation, police said. The Toyota Corolla struck a 2005 Ford SUV, causing both vehicles to roll over, police said.

The driver of the Toyota Corolla, Brianna Soto, was pronounced dead at Centegra Hospital – Huntley, police said. On Friday, the McHenry

County Coroner’s Office revealed the cause of death to be blunt trauma to the head and abdomen.

The passenger in the car, also a 17-year-old girl from Pingree Grove, was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

There were four people in the Ford SUV, including three 16-year-old girls from Lake in the Hills, Algonquin and Hampshire, and a 15-year-old girl from Huntley, police said. All were taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

The crash is under investigation

by Kane County Sheriff’s detectives and members of the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team. No tickets have been issued, but deputies believe that distracted driving might have played a role in the crash, police said.

All subjects were wearing their seat belts, police said.

McHENRY – A two-vehicle crash in McHenry sent one person to the hospital Friday, a fire official said.

Battalion Chief Mike Majercik said that the McHenry Township Fire Protection District was called about 3 p.m. for a crash involving a pickup truck and a car at River and Charles J. Miller roads.

Majercik said the driver of the car was taken with minor injuries to Centegra Hospital – McHenry for precautionary reasons. The driver of the pickup truck was not injured, he said.

Neither vehicle had any passengers, Majercik said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the cause of the crash.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Chicago man was charged with theft Thursday after a Crystal Lake school’s iPads went missing during winter break, Crystal Lake police said.

On Jan. 3, the Crystal Lake Police Department responded to a report of theft at Bernotas Middle School, 170 N. Oak St., Crystal Lake.

Police said school staff reported 24 Apple iPads missing from two separate classrooms, leading Crystal Lake detectives to conduct several interviews and review multiple leads over a threemonth period.

Working with Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47’s Information Technology Department, it was discovered the district contracted several

companies to perform various maintenance-related services at Bernotas Middle School during the school’s twoweek winter break.

After receiving notice of the activation of one of the stolen iPads, detectives issued an arrest warrant for the suspect, Carlos J. Lucas, 30, of Chicago.

Police said Lucas was working for one of the maintenance companies Carlos J. under contract with DisLucas trict 47 at the time.

On Thursday, Lucas voluntarily surrendered to Crystal Lake police.

Lucas was charged with theft of items more than $500 from a school, a Class 2 felony, and recently was re-

Saladin, who did not know he was receiving the award, said he has appreciated all of the opportunities he’s had over the years, and he touted the importance of service work for all community members.

“You haven’t lived unless you’ve run for office in a municipal election,” he said, laughing.

Canevello serves as a mediator, certified anger management specialist and chairman of the 22nd Judicial Circuit Family Mediation Advisory Council. He also is the owner of Connections Counseling & Consulting Services Inc. As a mediator for more than 20 years, Canevello is a neutral party who works with couples in resolving problems to ensure a divorce is as amicable as possible.

He also has provided training for school psychologists and social workers in local school districts, and for mediators and attorneys in semi-

nars sponsored by various agencies.

Melissa Cooney, who presented the award, said Canevello truly cares about the process and the people involved in what he does every day.

The award is given to an individual who has promoted a better understanding of the rules of law and a greater respect of law and the courts.

“Joe has made the process of divorcing easier in McHenry County,” she said.

Canevello, too, was taken by surprise in being chosen for the award.

He said he was humbled, shocked and a bit flummoxed but very thankful for the recognition.

The national theme for this year’s Law Day was the 14th Amendment and the many ways it has reshaped American law and society. Lucas Kim and Jordyn St. John, both of Hannah Beardsley Middle School, as well as Dylan Lyon of Heineman Middle School, were honored for their essays about what they believed was the most important clause in the 14th Amendment.

Each of the three students wrote about the equal protection clause.

The clause, which took effect in 1868, says that no state can deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Seventy-five middle school students submitted essays for the contest.

Officials warn about heroin strain called ‘gray death’ NORTHWEST HERALD Officials are warning the public about a new heroin derivative called “gray death” that includes an opiate sometimes used to tranquilize animals as large as elephants.

The drug is a combination of several opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil and a synthetic substance called U-47700.

The drug is a problem in Ohio, Kentucky and several other states. It’s unknown whether it has arrived in Illinois, according to a news release from the Kane County Coroner’s Office. The drug looks like concrete mix and varies in consistency. It can be hard and chunky or ground to a fine powder.

“It has been difficult enough to warn citizens of pure heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil and other opiates. Now, all of these substances, and more, are being combined together and used at an alarming rate, and people are dying because of it,” Kane County Coroner Rob Russell said. “In addition, because these strong drugs can be absorbed through the skin, simply touching the powder puts users and first responders at risk.”

McHenry County, according to court documents.

Sheriff’s deputies pulled over Benzinger in McHenry County for expired registration plates while he was 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.

Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ann Scholl argued that the amount of heroin, about 3.6 grams, was not likely for personal use. She said she believed the only way to protect the community was to substantially increase his bail; otherwise, he’d post bond and likely start selling heroin again.

Messer said the evidence that the state had to argue for a bond increase was “speculative” and based on gossip. She said it would be impossible

to cross-examine a confidential informant or determine the informant’s credibility because the defense would never find out who that person is.

She also said her client is a drug user, something the court knew before the new charges, and the amount he is accused of having could be for personal use.

Judge Michael Feetterer said that although he felt Messer’s arguments resonated with the court, he noted Benzinger had previous drug charges and was arrested only months after he got out of prison on a similar charge.

He said $80,000 is generally an appropriate bond amount for a Class 1 felony, but based on the situation, he increased Benzinger’s bond to $120,000.

Benzinger next will appear in court May 30.

WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge increased the bond for a Crystal Lake man accused of selling heroin only months after he was released from prison.

Paul S. Benzinger, 29, appeared in court Thursday with his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer, after prosecutors filed a motion to increase his $80,000 bond to $250,000.

Benzinger faces charges of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, Class 4 felonies. If convicted, he is eligible for extended-term sentencing and could face four to 30 years in prison.

He was sentenced in July 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 home and seized more than $3,200 worth of heroin.

Benzinger was released from prison Jan. 10 and has been on Paul S. parole. The McHenry Benzinger 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 then would sell in

Club owner who turned Sunset Strip into rock heaven dies at 93

By JOHN ROGERS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Mario Maglieri, the Hollywood entrepreneur who doubled as a godfather figure to generations of rock stars from the Doors’ Jim Morrison to Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose, has died at age 93.

Maglieri died Thursday morning “surrounded by loved ones,” his family said in a statement. No cause of death was given.

For decades he operated two of Hollywood’s most venerable and legendary Sunset Strip nightclubs – the Whiskey A Go Go and the Rainbow Bar & Grill.

“Rest In Peace Mario Maglieri King of The Sunset Strip,” the marquee over the Whiskey proclaimed Friday.

It was at the Whiskey that the Doors found a following as the house band in the 1960s.

Over the years, Led Zeppelin, the Police, Van Halen and literally hundreds of other acts spanning generations have played there.

The Beatles dropped by for a visit during their first U.S. tour in 1964.

George Harrison, annoyed by a paparazzi, threw a drink at him, hit-

Frank L. Haubold: Interment will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 27, in Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood.

Helen H. Hays: The visitation will be from 10

ting actress Mamie Van Doren instead.

At the Rainbow, Maglieri would keep many of his musicians in booze and food, occasionally having to throw one or more of them out when they caused too much trouble.

“The rowdiest? Oh, Guns N’ Roses! I had to put them out I don’t know how many times,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1993. “They’re good guys, but they get out of hand.”

He was born Feb. 7, 1924, in Seppino, Italy, and Mario Mikeal Maglieri moved to the U.S. with his family at age 4.

He ran restaurants and clubs in Chicago for a few years before moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s to manage the Whiskey, eventually taking it over.

A few years later, he and partners took over a nearby Sunset Strip restaurant and renamed it the Rainbow.

It was a heady time on the Strip in those early years, one punctuated by up-and-coming young musicians and their groupies, many living in nearby Laurel Canyon.

There was an abundance of drugs and alcohol as well, although Maglieri said he never partook in

the former.

“I’m 70 years old, and I’ve never smoked a joint in my life,” he told the Times in 1993. “People ask me and I tell them, ‘Dope is for dopes.’

People want to fight me on that, I’ll fight them. I’ve seen too many lives destroyed by drugs.”

He said he bought Janis Joplin a bottle of her favorite whiskey, Southern Comfort, three days before she died of a drug overdose in 1970.

He also spent a good deal of time trying to talk Morrison into cutting back on his substance abuse before he died in 1971.

“He was a good boy. It’s too bad I couldn’t straighten him out, because I tried awful hard,” he said.

But he also recalled numerous good times, among them talking politics with John Lennon in the parking lot and watching members of Led Zeppelin have fun.

“Every time they were in town, they’d party in the middle booth,” he said. “And them guys know how to party.”

He is survived by his wife, Scarlett; a son, Mikeal; and three grandchildren.

A public memorial is scheduled May 28 at the Rainbow.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A burst of hiring in April provided reassurance for the U.S. economy after a slow start to the year: Job growth returned to a healthy pace. Unemployment hit a decade low. And the number of parttime workers who want full-time jobs reached its lowest point in nine years.

Employers last month added 211,000 jobs, more than double the weak showing in March, the Labor Department said Friday. And the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4 percent from 4.5 percent in March.

Taken as a whole, the April jobs report suggested that American businesses are confident enough in their outlook for customer demand to keep adding jobs briskly despite a slump in the January-March quarter, when the economy barely grew.

The jobs report “does increase our confidence that the soft patch in the first quarter is over,” Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclays Capital, said in an email to clients.

The gradual shift in hiring from part-time to full-time work is an encouraging one. It suggests that many businesses are meeting rising customer demand by expanding some employees’ hours.

During much of the economic recovery, the number of part-timers remained unusually high – one reason why steady job growth didn’t produce sharp gains in pay or consumer

A UPS employee works inside the company’s Worldport hub Nov. 20, 2015, in Louisville, Ky. The U.S. government issued the April jobs report Friday. spending.

The shift toward full-time work also has helped reduce a measure of the job market that includes people who aren’t counted as unemployed: They are the part-time workers who want full-time jobs as well as people who have given up their job hunts.

This broader figure reached 8.6 percent in April, the lowest point since November 2007, just before the recession officially began. In 2009, it had topped 17 percent.

That broader measure has been cited by President Donald Trump and his advisers as a more accurate gauge

of the job market’s health than the unemployment rate.

So far, the job market under Trump closely resembles the one Barack Obama presided over. This year, employers have added an average of 185,000 jobs a month, matching last year’s pace.

In his first 3½ months, Trump has sought to put his imprint on the economy. A deputy White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said falsely at a briefing for reporters Friday that job growth in April occurred “especially” in industries where the president has focused: coal

mining, construction and manufacturing. In fact, those three sectors accounted for less than 6 percent of April’s job growth.

A representative of the White House, contacted later by The Associated Press, said that Sanders had misspoken.

Some of the job market’s scars from the Great Recession have yet to heal. The proportion of Americans who either have jobs or are looking for one dipped in April to 62.9 percent from 63 percent. While that figure has improved over the past 18 months, it remains well below the prerecession level of 66 percent.

Economists don’t expect that figure to get much better. With the vast baby boom generation retiring and younger Americans more likely to stay in high school and attend college, fewer Americans likely will work or seek work in the foreseeable future.

Friday’s jobs report makes it highly likely that the Federal Reserve will resume raising short-term interest rates when it next meets in mid-June.

Investors have estimated the likelihood of a June rate hike at 83 percent.

Beyond hiring, the economy is showing other signs of health: Sales of existing homes have reached the highest point in a decade. And a survey of services firms this week – including restaurants, banks and retailers – showed that they are expanding steadily.

OUR VIEW

Significant heroin bust worthy of praise Thumbs-up: To investigators with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office who took 7.6 pounds of heroin off the streets this week during a bust in Crystal Lake – the largest ever for the department. It’s unclear where the drugs were intended for distribution, but McHenry County certainly isn’t immune to the scourge of heroin that’s taking lives all over the nation. Just as a law enforcement shift moves toward treatment over incarceration, the arrest and prosecution of these poison peddlers remains a significant part of the battle.

Thumbs-up: To Huntley School District 158’s Life Instruction Guiding Huntley Transition, or LIGHT, program. The LIGHT program supports the district’s 18- to 21-year-old special education students who have delayed getting their diploma to seek additional education. About 75 percent of students in the program leave with a job, thanks in part to support from about 56 local employers, who also deserve praise. Special education programs provide important learning opportunities and job skills to students. We applaud the work of District 158 educators, local employers and the students who participate in this effort.

Thumbs-down: To an email “phishing” scam that hit school districts and businesses in McHenry County along with institutions across the country Wednesday. The Northwest Herald was among those who received several requests throughout the day in the form of emails from hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@mailinator.com with the subject line “xxxxx has shared a document on Google Docs with you.” Google documents are frequently used by businesses, making the scam harder to spot, and the email asks that the receiver click on a link that says “Open in Docs.” However, the fraudulent link can lead to granting access to personal or corporate Google accounts. It is not clear who is behind the fraudulent emails, and Google quickly responded to remove the fake pages and push updates through its Safe Browsing service. The scam is sophisticated, but general safety practices can help prevent becoming a victim, such as not opening emails sent from addresses you don’t recognize and never providing or granting access to personal information online. If you accidentally granted access to your Google account, make sure to change your passwords and delete the fraudulent Google app as soon as possible.

Thumbs-up: To Steve Erwin, who is finishing up his 33rd and final season as head coach of the girls track and field team at Woodstock High School.

Coaching at the high school level often is a thankless job, and building a successful program such as Erwin put together involves much more time and effort than just showing up to practices and meets. Erwin deserves our praise for dedicating more than three decades of his life to helping make student-athletes better on and off the field.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

National monuments worthy of protection President Donald Trump has asked Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to review national monuments created using the Antiquities Act by presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama since Jan. 1, 1996. The review, the first in the act’s 111-year history, includes those that encompass more than 100,000 acres and leaves room for review of monuments of all sizes considered to have been expanded or designated without adequate public outreach, with an eye to shrinking them or even possibly reversing designations.

As he performs his review, Zinke should listen to voices in favor of the monuments as much as those in Trump’s base who oppose them, because supporters, too, are constituents. Most importantly, the administration must consider resource protection. Trump is systematically dismantling clean air and clean water regulations, and now he is moving toward opening public lands to greater development. It is not hard to see who will benefit from Trump’s changes.

Zinke must carefully weigh the loss of tourism and the shortand long-term costs of energy and mineral development to the

environment and nearby communities alongside the benefits of those industries. The greatest beneficiaries of reduced protections, including for national monuments, are not likely to be breathing local air and drinking local water. Societal costs associated with compromised public health must be considered as well.

The executive order currently affects more than 50 monuments nationwide. In Colorado, it will affect the 176,000-acre Canyons of the Ancients National Monument west of Cortez, and potentially Browns Canyon near Buena Vista, and Chimney Rock, between Bayfield and Pagosa Springs.

Bears Ears National Monument, in southeastern Utah, probably was the final straw for Republicans, who generally oppose federal land ownership. It is 1,351,849 acres, or 2,112 square miles, and newly designated

by President Obama on Dec. 28, 2016. Utah’s congressional delegation and many state leaders opposed it. However, it received strong support from a coalition of five tribal nations, three of which hold tribal lands in Utah.

Bears Ears has strong support

from outdoor retailers, who are moving their industry’s largest trade show from Salt Lake City in response to state leaders’ attempts to undo the Bears Ears designation.

The president’s characterization of the monuments as “a massive federal land grab” is wrong on two counts. First, monuments have been established only on federally owned or controlled land. The Antiquities Act cannot be used to seize private and state lands. Second, national monuments are less restrictive than, for example, national parks.

We hope Zinke, formerly a congressional representative from Montana, has a more nuanced view of public lands than President Trump. National monuments have their critics, but they also have substantial support and provide concrete benefits.

The House Federal Lands Subcommittee, on which Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) serves, is holding an oversight hearing on the Antiquities Act on Tuesday.

We hope he will stand up for our national monuments that for more than 100 years have enjoyed broad public support.

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.

– The Durango (Colorado) Herald

VIEWS Austin Berg Iowa (6 percent growth in manufacturing jobs since January 2010), Missouri (8 percent), Wisconsin (11 percent), Indiana (21 percent), Kentucky (23 percent) and Michigan (33 percent) are all just beyond Illinois’ border.

Those states largely have been immune to the sickness that ails Illinois: perverse priorities that place trial lawyers and government workers ahead of the vast majority of middle-class people who remain here, fighting.

Those states have forged futures with manufacturing in mind. And they didn’t do it with fairy dust. There are clear policy differences that made those states ripe for stronger recoveries.

One of the policies that affects manufacturers especially is workers’ compensation.

Compared to others in the Midwest, manufacturers in Illinois pay the highest workers’ comp costs by far.

For example, while the average cost of workers’ comp for steelworkers among neighboring states is less than $8 per $100 of payroll, the average in Illinois is nearly $12.

Armstrong said his business would save nearly $120,000 a year on workers’ compensation costs alone by moving just a few miles across the Indiana border.

Illinois lawmakers could pursue

many easy policy fixes to bring down these costs while ensuring worker safety. Putting wage replacement rates in line with the average of surrounding states, tying medical fees to Medicare, barring workers’ comp doctors from selling pills out of their offices, and making sure workers don’t get a pay raise to stay off work are just a few.

But Illinois lawmakers seem to have no interest in real reform. And certainly not the types of reform that would cut into trial lawyer profits.

Instead, the Illinois House passed a bill that would create a state-run workers’ comp insurance agency. After all, state government here is famous for its ability to provide quality service at a fair price.

Another big problem for manufacturers is Illinois’ infamously high property taxes. Armstrong estimates his business would save another $100,000 to $120,000 a year in property taxes by moving across the state line.

Much of Armstrong’s high property tax bill goes to fund Ford Heights School District 169. The entire district oversees fewer than 500 students.

Despite this, Superintendent Gregory Jackson took home more than $325,000 in total compensation last year. Lavish pay and benefits are common among Illinois superintendents.

Thankfully, a bill in Springfield would allow nearby Chicago Heights School District 170 to absorb the small Ford Heights district, saving money on administrative costs and hopefully reducing Armstrong’s tax bill.

But Jackson wasn’t going to take

that lying down.

The day after House members passed the bill out of committee, Jackson sought and received school board approval to add a special protection to a certain part of his contract: the part that guarantees he gets paid all the salary and benefits remaining in his contract should his district get consolidated. The new provision lets Jackson decide whether he needs to sue in order to protect that rich payout, and the district would have to pay for the lawyer.

Only in Illinois.

And it’s not just Jackson. State Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, sponsored an amendment to a bill that would prohibit any layoffs or pay cuts in the event of consolidation. That’s absurd.

Instead of protecting manufacturing jobs, Yingling and other lawmakers would rather defend bloat within Illinois’ nearly 7,000 taxing bodies, the highest total in the nation.

These priorities are crushing Illinois industry. And until lawmakers loosen the vise, manufacturing families shouldn’t expect success.

“I like this community. I like supporting this community. I feel we help.

I feel like we’re a good neighbor. And I feel there’s plenty of room for improvement,” Armstrong said.

“But once we’re gone I just don’t see anybody else moving back in.”

IT’S YOUR WRITE Public lands in jeopardy

To the Editor: Americans all want clean air and water.

Who wouldn’t? They love their public lands. But few Americans realize how much such things have been at stake in elections since 1980.

Those threatening them make elections about everything else, but show their hand once they win.

For example, Donald Trump eliminates the rule preventing coal waste from being dumped into streams, lifts ban on offshore drilling, starts unraveling Obama’s Clean Power Plan, and seems bent on undoing national monuments.

He nominates a former Exxon Mobil CEO for Secretary of State, fossil fuel-friendly Scott Pruitt to head and dismantle EPA, and the oil-friendly former Texas Gov. Rick Perry to run the Energy Department.

The EPA website takes down its climate change page. The BLM website

substitutes a picture of a huge coal pile for scenic images. Rep. Jason Chaffetz introduces a bill to sell three million acres of federal land, and Rep. Rob Bishop introduces a House rule to “zero out” public lands so their loss to taxpayers doesn’t have to be offset in the budget.

But the biggest move was nominating Neil Gorsuch to SCOTUS. All these moves will be challenged in court, and he will be the deciding vote in 5-4 decisions against those challenging them.

Land is the ultimate source of wealth.

We are about to see the biggest transfer of wealth in our history – public lands transferred to states and ultimately private wealthy parties. Most Americans didn’t realize that’s what they were voting for, and it’s probably too late to stop it.

Ray Mathis McHenry

Out of touch

To the Editor: I read your recent coverage of the County Board passing Jack Franks’ plan to cut the county property tax levy by 10 percent.

I want to highlight a detail you missed that was captured in Franks’ Facebook Live stream during the board’s debate on the resolution.

While broadcasting the 23-1 vote (Donna Kurtz from Crystal Lake voted ‘no’ on cutting taxes), Franks’ opponent from 2016 (board member Michael Walkup) stepped in it even more and probably showed why he lost by such wide margins in that chairman election and the February Republican municipal primary, when Walkup ran for Nunda Township supervisor.

Walkup started threatening the Facebook Live cameraman without any substantive reasoning! Since the

board’s meetings already are broadcast on the county’s website via an audio stream, clearly there is no legal question surrounding broadcasting the board’s proceedings, and, therefore, Walkup’s comments were nothing more than the petty bullying of a sore loser.

This shouldn’t be surprising from someone who regularly fails to attend meetings, and who often screams at other members and county employees. It’s also why no one else on the board seemed uncomfortable with having the proceedings made public, including Ms. Kurtz.

Congratulations to Mr. Walkup! He managed to prove he is even more out of touch than someone who thinks our taxes aren’t high enough.

• Saturday, May 6, 2017

A glimmer of hope flashes in the furnaces of TriALco. Located just outside of Ford Heights, one of the poorest areas in Illinois, Jay Armstrong has been running this small manufacturing business since 2001. TriALco provides nearly 60 jobs for the surrounding community in south Cook County, making alloys for other manufacturers.

But its future in Illinois is in jeopardy. Armstrong puts the odds at 50-50 that he moves his manufacturing business to Indiana. And they’re getting worse each year.

“We are ready to do an expansion,” Armstrong said. “But our owner is questioning us: How could we expand in the state of Illinois when it would be about $400,000 to $500,000 cheaper per year to move to Indiana?”

Illinois has crawled out of the Great Recession. The state’s economy has recovered the number of jobs it lost during the recession years, albeit much later than most other states.

But try telling that to Illinois manufacturing workers. For them, the worst months of the recession and today are barely different. Manufacturing tanked here, and it never bounced back.

Since the bowels of the Great Recession in January 2010, manufacturing jobs have grown less than 3 percent in Illinois.

And before blaming nameless competition overseas for this pitiful performance, Illinoisans must look in their backyards. Manufacturing families looking for opportunity need not flee the Midwest to find hope.

The Associated Press

A government plan to tear down a crumbling public housing complex in the southern Illinois town of Cairo has sent about 200 families searching for new homes and sparked fears that the once-thriving river city could be coming to an end.

Sitting at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, Cairo was once a shipping hub, home to 15,000 people at its peak in the 1940s. But racial strife, flooding and economic troubles have left the town with just 2,600 residents, a vacant downtown, boarded-up and abandoned buildings, and little habitable housing.

If the residents of the buildings slated for demolition are not able to find new homes in Cairo and end up leaving for other communities, the city’s population would be cut by 15 percent and the school district would lose nearly 40 percent of its student body.

“It’ll be a ghost town,” said Paul Lambert, a 66-year-old retired security guard who was born and raised in Cairo, left for a while, but returned in 1974.

Automatic voter registration gets Senate approval

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois senators have overwhelmingly endorsed an automatic voter registration plan two years in the making.

The measure automatically would register qualified voters when they visit Secretary of State’s offices and a handful of other state agencies unless they decide to opt out. It moves to the House after a 48-0 vote in the Senate on Friday.

Democratic state Sen. Andy Manar of Bunker Hill is sponsoring the measure. He said it would streamline voter registration and bolster participation.

A previous version passed both chambers last fall, but Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed it over concerns it didn’t do enough to prevent voter fraud. Manar said this version addresses those concerns.

The McBride apartments, a family-designated public housing complex of the Alexander County Housing Authority, are seen Aug. 20, 2015, in Cairo. The town was once a shipping hub and home to 15,000 people. But racial strife, flooding and economic troubles have left Cairo with 2,600 residents, a vacant downtown, abandoned buildings and little habitable housing.

Housing and Urban Development has called “deplorable living conditions.”

Arrest made in shooting death of Chicago cop’s son

CHICAGO – An 18-year-old who police said is a gang member was arrested Friday in the shooting death of a Chicago police officer’s teenage son.

Investigators believe 19-year-old Arshell Dennis III was killed because he was mistaken for a member of a rival gang. Anthony Moore is charged with first-degree murder in the August killing.

Dennis was shot in the chest as he visited with friends on the porch of his parents’ Chicago home just hours before he was to return to college in New York. Moore, of Chicago, also is charged with attempted murder for shooting another man who was on the porch in the arm.

At a news conference Friday that was attended by Dennis’ father, police said Moore was arrested at the Cook County Jail while there on another charge. Moore has been arrested six times since his birthday in November for charges including possession of a stolen vehicle, police said.

Cmdr. Brendan Deenihan said Moore was in one of two stolen cars the night of Aug. 14 when he and others spotted Dennis

Fate of state building latest feud for Emanuel, Rauner

CHICAGO – The future of a state building housing about 2,200 employees is sparking the latest disagreement between Gov. Bruce Rauner and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Republicans pitched plans Friday earmarking future property tax receipts of a possible James Thompson Center sale for Chicago schools. The Republican governor has criticized the 16-story Helmut Jahn-designed building with about $326 million in deferred maintenance as a waste of taxpayer money.

However, Emanuel said Rauner’s estimates about benefits to schools are inaccurate and unanswered questions remain about the fate of a train station under the center.

Rauner accused Emanuel’s office of devising “artificial road blocks” during a

afraid to let their children play outside because of crime in the area. The federal agency took over the property and other local housing authority operations in February 2016, amid allegations that the former head of the Alexander County Housing Authority had used federal funds for meals, trips and benefits while the buildings deteriorated.

HUD announced last month it would close the buildings and relocate the residents, saying the cost to repair the complexes – estimated at more than $41 million – is too much. Residents will get a voucher to use toward housing and help finding a new place to live, with the first relocations starting this month.

But few properties are available in Cairo or in the rural areas surrounding it. HUD and the city are working with area landlords to try to get properties to meet agency standards, but the process is slow. Developers are unlikely to team up with HUD – the typical practice for affordable housing projects today – on new housing in an area where more than half of children live in poverty.

“For most private developers it’s a long-term investment,” HUD spokesman Jereon Brown said. “Right now that would be tough to do here.”

Friday news conference by the building’s heating and cooling system.

Emanuel’s spokesman called Rauner’s push to sell a “pathetic display of misplaced priorities” with Illinois’ two-year budget impasse.

Police: Officer shoots driver during traffic stop

MARKHAM – Authorities said a suburban Chicago police officer shot and wounded a motorist who was trying to flee a traffic stop and dragged the officer with a vehicle.

Police said the driver was asked to get out of the vehicle early Friday in Markham and then tried to drive away, dragging an officer who was assisting. Police said the officer then fired.

The officer and driver were taken from the scene for treatment at a hospital, but an update on their conditions wasn’t immediately released.

The driver had been stopped for a traffic violation. Markham police said the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force is investigating.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS N. Korea: U.S., S. Korea attempted assassination

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Friday accused the U.S. and South Korean spy agencies of an unsuccessful assassination attempt on leader Kim Jong Un involving biochemical weapons.

In a statement carried on state media, North Korea’s Ministry of State Security said it will “ferret out and mercilessly destroy” the “terrorists” in the CIA and South Korean intelligence agency responsible for targeting its supreme leadership.

The ministry said the spy agencies in June 2014 “ideologically corrupted and bribed” a North Korean citizen who was working in Russia to carry out the alleged assassination on Kim after returning home.

It said South Korean agents gave money and satellite communication equipment to the North Korean to attack Kim during a public event using a biochemical weapon such as a delayed-action radioactive or “nano poisonous” substance.

Senate: We’re writing our own health care bill

By ERICA WERNER and ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans wasted no time Friday showing they have little use for the House bill to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act amid fears among Americans that people already sick won’t be able to get affordable insurance.

“I’m going to read the House bill, find out what it costs and where I find good ideas there, why we’ll borrow them. But basically we’re writing our own bill,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate health committee, said in an interview.

“At this point, there seem to be more questions than answers about its consequences,” said moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, whose vote may prove one of the hardest to get for President Donald Trump and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. And Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Twitter: “A bill – finalized yesterday, has not been scored, amendments not allowed, and 3 hours final debate – should be viewed with caution.”

The outspoken and immediate skepticism pointed to a long road ahead in the Senate. And for a president who’s already expressed disappointment in Congress’ slow-moving ways, more frustration seemed assured.

“I don’t think anyone in the Senate is going to be bullied into artificial benchmarks or timelines,” said Josh Holmes, a GOP consultant and former chief of staff to McConnell. “It will be a very different process that will look very different from the one that we just saw unfolding in the House.”

Senate leaders repeatedly have vowed success. “Failure is not an option,” No. 2 Senate leader John Cornyn, R-Texas, said earlier this year.

McConnell plans to move forward under special procedures that allow legislation to pass with a simple majority vote, instead of the 60 usu-

ally required for major bills in the Senate. That means he will only need Republican votes, which is all he can rely on anyway since Democrats are refusing to participate in dismantling Obama’s law. But under complicated Senate rules, it also limits what can go into the legislation.

And with only a slim 52-48 majority, McConnell can lose only two senators from his sometimes fractious caucus, which runs the gamut from moderates such as Collins to conservatives such as Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas. Then there are those senators who are up for re-election in 2018. Fortunately for McConnell, only two are in any serious jeopardy, Dean Heller of Nevada and Jeff Flake of Arizona, but they are certain to be particularly cautious about casting their vote for anything that jeopardizes their constituents.

There was immediate evidence of the political pressure that awaits.

Hinting at the attacks to come as next year’s elections draw nearer, the Democratic House and Senate campaign committees both released digital ads lambasting supporters of the legislation. Major Democratic Super PAC American Bridge also released a digital ad declaring: “Tell Senate Republicans this is their mess now, and we are watching.” The legislation could become a major issue for vulnerable House Republicans in divided districts, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has already threatened they will “glow in the dark” over their vote.

At the “IAmAPreexistingCondition” hashtag on Friday, Twitter users including actress Alyssa Milano described how the proposed House law could affect them or family members dealing with serious illnesses. Some described suffering from cancer, hereditary diseases or post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by combat.

On the other side, a GOP group allied with House leadership announced plans to run TV ads thanking Republicans who voted for the repeal bill in key districts.

ROCKVILLE, Md. – Prosecutors are dropping charges against two Hispanic teens accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in a restroom at a suburban Washington high school, a case cited by the White House as an example of why the president wants to crack down on illegal immigration.

Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy said at a Friday news conference that the rape and sex offense charges were being dropped after a “painstaking investigation” of the girl’s claim that the two teens raped her in the bathroom at Rockville High School.

Defense attorneys said the sex was consensual. They pointed to text messages in which the girl agreed to a sexual encounter; an explicit video

the girl sent one of the teens; and security camera footage, which they said shows the girl running to meet one of the teens and willingly entering the restroom with him.

McCarthy said the girl was interviewed multiple times and the investigation revealed a “lack of corroboration and substantial inconsistencies.”

“The original charges cannot be sustained, and prosecution is untenable on those charges,” McCarthy said.

He refused to answer any questions after reading a statement.

While dropping the rape charges, prosecutors brought child pornography charges against the two male teens.

McCarthy said 18-year-old Henry Sanchez will be charged with possession of child pornography, which carries a potential sentence of up to five years.

He declined to say what charges the 17-year-old would face, because that

case has been transferred to juvenile court. But the younger teen’s lawyers said the boy would face charges of distributing and possessing child pornography. They said the charges carry a possible sentence of 10 years or more.

The AP does not typically identify juveniles charged with crimes and is not naming the 17-year-old now that he is charged as a juvenile.

Defense lawyer Maria Mena said the pornography charges stem from the video the 14-year-old girl sent to the 17-yearold, which he then shared with Sanchez.

She called it “egregious” that her client was being charged, while the girl who made the video and sent it to him is not being charged. The purpose of the child pornography statute, she said, is to deter adults from engaging in predatory conduct against kids, not to criminalize sexting between two minors.

Another defense attorney, David

Wooten, said the primary reason they were able to prove the 17-year-old’s innocence was by producing the evidence of explicit text messages and the video that the girl had sent.

“Those very text messages and images that vindicated him are now being used against him,” he said.

The 17-year-old came to the U.S. from El Salvador to live with relatives who are U.S. citizens after his adoptive grandmother died in El Salvador, leaving him alone there, his lawyers said. Mena said Friday that immigration proceedings have been initiated against him, but they will fight to keep him in the country.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said the 18-year-old was stopped by a border patrol agent in Texas last year after arriving from Guatemala and that an immigration detainer has been placed on him.

The Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia – A U.S. service member has been killed in Somalia during an operation against the extremist group al-Shabab – the first U.S. combat death there in more than two decades – as the U.S. steps up its fight against the al-Qaida-linked organization in a country that remains largely chaos.

“We do not believe there has been a case where a U.S. service member has been killed in combat action in Somalia since the incident there in 1993,” U.S. Africa Command spokesman Patrick Barnes said Friday. The U.S. pulled out of Somalia after that incident in which two helicopters were shot down in the capital, Mogadishu, and bodies of Americans were dragged through the streets.

In a statement, the U.S. Africa Command said the service member was killed Thursday during the operation about 40 miles west of Mogadishu. Two other service members were wounded, the Pentagon said.

A Somali intelligence official said U.S. forces killed at least six people during the raid on a building housing al-Shabab’s Andalus radio station at a farm near Dare Salaam village. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said the dead included al-Shabab journalists.

The deputy governor of Lower Shabelle region, Omar Mohamud Elmi, told The Associated Press that another goal of the raid was to “surgically tar-

Hundreds of newly trained al-Shabab fighters perform military exercises Feb. 17, 2011, in the Lafofe area south of Mogadishu in Somalia. The U.S. military said Friday that a service member has been killed in Somalia during an operation against the extremist group alShabab, as the U.S. steps up its fight against the al-Qaida-linked organization. get” senior al-Shabab members hiding in the area. He acknowledged “casualties on our side” but said the extremist group lost far more people. He did not give details.

The U.S. special operations troops came under fire after U.S. aircraft delivered Somali forces to the target area, a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, told reporters. He said the U.S. troops were “a distance back” from the compound which had been associated with attacks on nearby facilities used

by the U.S. and Somali partners.

Al-Shabab via its Shahada News Agency claimed it had thwarted “an air landing operation by U.S. special forces,” with a number of them killed or wounded, the SITE Intelligence Group reported.

Both the U.S. and Somalia in recent weeks have declared new efforts against al-Shabab. President Donald Trump has approved expanded military operations against the extremist group, including more aggressive air-

strikes and considering parts of southern Somalia areas of active hostilities.

Somalia’s new Somali-American president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, last month declared a new offensive against al-Shabab, which is based in Somalia but has claimed responsibility for major attacks elsewhere in East Africa.

Also last month, the U.S. military announced it was sending dozens of regular troops to Somalia in the largest such deployment to the country in about two decades. The U.S. Africa Command said the deployment was for logistics training of Somalia’s army.

The U.S. in recent years has sent a small number of special operations forces and counter-terror advisers to Somalia and carried out a number of airstrikes, including drone strikes, against al-Shabab.

The extremist group, which was chased out of Mogadishu years ago but continues to carry out deadly attacks there, has vowed to step up the violence in response to the moves by Trump and Mohamed. It continues to control rural areas in parts of the country.

Aid groups have raised concerns about the new military efforts, saying civilians could be at risk as hundreds of thousands are displaced by a drought that threatens about half the country’s population of 12 million.

Pressure is growing on Somalia’s military to assume full responsibility for the country’s security as the 22,000-strong African Union multinational force, AMISOM, that has been supporting the fragile central government plans to leave by the end of 2020.

French campaign claims hit by hack

Russia-backed Syrian safe zones go into effect

Presidential candidate says emails, docs leaked

BEIRUT – A deal hammered out

by Russia, Turkey and Iran to set up “de-escalation zones” in mostly opposition-held parts of Syria went into effect in the early hours of Saturday.

The plan is the latest international attempt to reduce violence in the war-ravaged country, and is the first to envisage armed foreign monitors on the ground in Syria. The U.S. is not party to the agreement and the Syrian rivals have not signed on to the deal.

The armed opposition, instead, was highly critical of the proposal, saying it lacks legitimacy.

The plan, details of which still will be worked out over the next several weeks, went into effect at midnight Friday. There were limited reports of bombing in northern Homs and Hama, two areas expected to be part of the “de-escalation zones,” activists said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

It is not clear how the cease-fire or “de-escalation zones” will be enforced in areas still to be determined in maps to emerge a month from now. Russian officials said it will be at least another month until the details are worked out and the safe areas established.

In the tangled mess that constitutes Syria’s battlefields, there is much that can go wrong with the plan, agreed on in talks Thursday in Kazakhstan.

There is no clear mechanism to resolve conflict and violations – like most other previous deals struck by backers of the warring sides.

A potential complication to implementing the plan is the crowded airspace over Syria. The deal calls for all aircraft to be banned from flying over the safe zones.

PARIS – The campaign of French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron said it suffered a “massive and coordinated” hacking attack and document leak that it called a bid to destabilize Sunday’s presidential runoff.

His far-right rival, Marine Le Pen, meanwhile, told The Associated Press that she believes she can pull off a surprise victory in the high-stakes vote that could change Eu- Emmanuel rope’s direction.

Macron Fears of hacking, fake news manipulation and Russian meddling clouded the French campaign but had largely gone unrealized – until late Friday’s admission by Macron’s campaign that it had suffered a coordinated online pirate attack that led to the leak of campaign emails and financial documents. It was unclear who was behind the hack and the leak.

A campaign blackout starting minutes after the Macron team’s announcement means that Le Pen’s campaign can’t legally comment on the leak.

In a statement, Macron’s En Marche movement said the hack took place a few weeks ago, and that the leaked documents have been mixed with false documents to “seed doubt and disinformation” and destabilize Sunday’s presidential runoff. Hillary Clinton’s U.S. presidential campaign suffered similar leaks, and also said that authentic documents were mixed with false documents.

The timing of the leak could be seen as either bizarre or inspired.

The documents’ release just before France enters a roughly two-day-long blackout – during which politicians, journalists and even ordinary citizens are meant to pull back from any public election talk to avoid swaying the vote – means that the leak may have very little effect beyond the overheated world of Twitter and Reddit.

On the other hand, the messages’ release just before France’s political machinery shuts down for the weekend might mean that talk of the leak – regardless of its veracity – will dominate dinner table conversations as French voters make up their minds Saturday.

Marine The candidates Le Pen stopped campaigning at midnight Friday to give voters a day of reflection before the election. It’s a stark choice: Le Pen’s anti-immigration, anti-European Union platform, or Macron’s progressive, pro-EU stance.

Tensions marred the race to the end.

France’s presidential voting watchdog called on the Interior Ministry on Friday to look into claims by the Le Pen campaign that ballot papers are being tampered with nationwide to benefit Macron.

The Le Pen campaign said electoral administrators in several regions who receive ballot papers for both candidates have found the Le Pen ballot “systematically torn up.” Earlier in the day, anti-Le Pen crowds disrupted her visit to a renowned cathedral in Reims.

The presidential campaign has been unusually bitter, with voters hurling eggs and flour, protesters clashing with police and candidates insulting each other on national TV.

ent, sometimes same areas in Syria.

It is not yet clear how the new plan would affect flightpaths of U.S.-led coalition warplanes battling Islamic State militants and other radical groups – and whether the American air force would abide by a diminished air space.

Russia and Iran – two of the plan’s three sponsors – are key allies of President Bashar Assad’s government and both are viewed as foreign occupation forces by his opponents. Rebels fighting to topple Assad are enraged by Iran’s role in the deal and blame the Shiite power for fueling the sectarian nature of Syria’s conflict, now in its seventh year.

Turkey, the third sponsor, is a major backer of opposition factions and has also sent troops into northern Syria, drawing the ire of Assad and his government.

Yet troops from the three countries are now expected to secure four safe zones. An official with Russia’s military general staff said other countries may eventually have a role in enforcing the de-escalation areas.

Russian Col.-Gen. Sergei Rudskoi told reporters on Friday personnel and formations from Russia, Iran and Turkey will operate checkpoints and observation posts.

He said “security belts” will be created along the borders of the “de-escalation zones” to prevent incidents and fighting between opposing sides. The checkpoints and observation posts will ensure free movement of unarmed civilians and humanitarian aid and will facilitate economic activities, he said.

Rebels have expressed concerns the deal is a prelude to a de facto partitioning of Syria into spheres of influence.

Osama Abo Zayd, a spokesman for the Syrian military factions at the Kazakhstan talks, told The Associated Press it was “incomprehensible” for Iran to act as a guarantor of the deal.

Michelle Obama: My passion for education will linger on

AP file photo

Britain’s Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, unveils a plaque June 8, 2015, at the end of his visit to Richmond Adult Community College in Richmond in southwest London.

Prince Philip, 95, keeps calm but won’t carry on royal duty LONDON – For decades, he has stood loyally at the side of Queen Elizabeth II and made thousands of solo appearances as well. He calls himself the world’s most experienced unveiler of plaques.

He has been eligible for a government pension since June 10, 1986, yet still soldiered on.

Now, at age 95, Prince Philip said he is retiring from royal duties.

The queen’s husband said Thursday he will carry out scheduled engagements for the next few months but won’t take on new ones starting in the fall.

His retirement announcement followed a night of frenzied speculation caused by news reports about an “emergency” palace meeting Thursday.

Buckingham Palace said Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, made the decision to retire with the full support of the queen.

Tall, craggy-faced and always elegantly dressed, Philip is as famous for his occasional off-color gaffes and one-liners as he is for his devotion to the monarch, and he joked about his retirement at an Order of Merit reception at St. James’s Palace.

“I’m sorry to hear you’re standing down,” 88-year-old mathematician Michael Atiyah said, using the British expression for retirement.

“Well, I can’t stand up much longer,” Philip replied. He walked with his head held high, despite his self-deprecating claim.

Harvey Oyer, a Florida attorney who was invited to a Buckingham Palace lunch reception, told The Associated Press that Philip looked remarkably well.

NEW YORK – Former first lady Michelle Obama said Friday that her departure from the White House won’t end her passion for education.

She made the comment at a New York City event marking College Signing Day, a nationwide tradition she began participating in as first lady to encourage young people to seek higher education. It was the fourth year she had participated.

“I might not live in the White House anymore, but Barack and I are going to keep on celebrating you all and supporting you and lifting you up no matter what house we live in,” Michelle Obama said. “Our belief in the power of education to transform your lives is real, and it’s going to be at core of everything that we do going forward.”

The event was held at the Public Theater in Manhattan with a host of celebrities, including “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts, former NBC news anchor Tamron Hall, supermodel Ashley Graham and designer Nate Berkus.

Michelle Obama avoided addressing politics or President Donald Trump during her brief remarks.

MONTREAL – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau showed off his Star Wars fandom by sporting socks featuring R2-D2 and C-3PO during a meeting with Ireland’s prime minister on the unofficial Star Wars holiday.

Trudeau made sure to show his spirit despite a high-profile meeting with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny in Montreal on Thursday. Photos of the event show Trudeau wearing the mismatched Star Wars-themed footwear. One sock shows off the golden C-3PO, while blue-and-white R2-D2 is on the other foot.

Trudeau later tweeted a photo with the note: “These are the socks you’re looking for,” a play on one of Alec Guinness’ lines in the original 1977 film.

Growing trend

Plants can finish a room

By MELISSA RAYWORTH

F

The Associated Press

rom kitchen herb gardens to miniature indoor trees, interior designers increasingly are bringing plants into their home design projects.

Plants are “the one little piece that people always forget will finish a room,” Massachusetts-based designer Kristina Crestin said. They make a space feel complete but not over-accessorized, she said, and can solve a range of design challenges.

New York designer Young Huh agrees: A miniature tree can be the perfect addition where you need something tall, she said, and a flowering plant can bring a burst of color to a tabletop. Plants also help clean the air, boost oxygen levels and bring a welcome sense of natural unpredictability into otherwise meticulous, modern spaces.

Which plants are popular right now and what are the best AP photos ways to decorate with them?

This photo provided by Jared Kuzia Photography shows a living room designed by interior designer Three designers – Crestin, Huh and New York-based Lind- Kristina Crestin in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. Plants can be the perfect final touch that brings warmth and beauty to a room without over-accessorizing, Crestin said. sey Coral Harper – offer their thoughts:

From delicate to bold

For several years running, the “it plant” among designers has been the fiddlefig tree (also called a “fiddlefig fern”). Their trunks are tall and graceful, with large glossy leaves creating a burst of rich, green color that blends with just about any decor.

Fiddlefigs are beautiful and relatively easy to care for, Crestin said, so their trendiness shouldn’t be a reason to avoid one. For something more “simple and sophisticated,” Harper recommends “any type of boxwood or topiary. There are so many options here, and such a range of shapes and sizes,” she says. “They also make wonderful hostess gifts.”

Another current favorite: the staghorn fern, which has strong, dramatic leaves that almost look like a sculpture.

“Staghorn ferns are really interesting and very masculine to me,” Harper said, and they look great “in a more rustic setting.”

If you’re seeking something delicate, Huh recommends a maidenhair fern. Upkeep is minimal, she said (just “keep them misted and moist”), and the intricate leaves look almost as pretty as a flowering plant.

Another popular choice: miniature olive trees. “They’re a sign of peace and fruitfulness,” Huh says, and look gorgeous in a ceramic pot on a table.

It’s popular right now to hang planters on walls, or put up hanging terrariums with succulents or “air plants” inside, Huh said.

These low maintenance plants only need to be misted, rather than watered, and “they stay alive forever,” she said. “I had this air plant that stayed alive for so long, my kids named him.”

The challenge with wall-hung plants is repeated misting may damage your walls, Crestin points out. So you may prefer to put those same kinds of plants in low-slung pots on a coffee table or other surface.

Don’t leave one plant sitting or hanging all alone. One plant all by itself can look a bit sad and lonely, so add several plants or place a single large one near a piece of furniture.

“Don’t put a tree in the corner to fill a space,” Huh said. “It’s gonna look a little sad. Put a tree in a corner if it relates to something, like a chair.”

Crestin agrees: “I believe in repetition,” she said. For a recent design project, she added three items to one room – a e fern in a low-slung bowl on a coffee table, a beautiful ceramic cup holding a delicate, mossy plant, and then a larger fern in another bowl.

Try to create “a triangle of green,” she said, balancing one plant with another.

Huh said. “It’s a great place for ferns that need to be misted.”

Branches and flowers

Kitchens and baths

Huh said many homeowners are buying wall-mounted growing systems or adding kitchen shelves specifically for potted herbs, berries and other plants grown for consumption.

She’s also pleased to see plants being used in bathroom decorating: “My father used to grow orchids in the bathroom because they got moisture every day,”

These designers also suggest looking at what’s blooming outside your home and occasionally bringing it inside.

“I just got back from a job in Florida, and it was so easy to go outside and clip a few palms,” Harper said. “Throw them in a vase and, voila!”

Cut flowers are another option for bringing nature indoors.

“I like to buy fresh flowers on Sundays when I’m having family dinner,” Huh said.

Though they only may last a few days, “that’s what makes flowers so special,” she said. “That ephemeral quality is what makes us appreciate their beauty.”

Know your space and habits

Even if you love something in a magazine or while shopping at a nursery, consider your particular space and habits.

“Think about how much sunlight, love and attention your plants might need,” Harper said. “Make sure you have plants in the appropriate spot in your home so they can grow and prosper.”

Personally, she said, “I prefer something with a little less mess and upkeep.”

Flavorful teas can be brewed from a great variety of herbs, flowers, fruits, spices and roots taken fresh from the garden. These generally are stronger and more refreshing than the dried packages of leaves stored for long periods on grocer’s shelves.

Most traditional Eastern teas trace their origins to the Camellia sinensis plant, an evergreen shrub with varieties native to India and China. These plants are tropicals, however, and need the right climate (Zones 7 through 9) to produce. They also require patience. It takes two years or more before tea plants produce enough leaves to sustainably be harvested.

Which brings us to herbs, that most familiar of homegrown tea options.

“Herbs, fruits and many other plants make great tea,” said Rhonda Ferree, a University of Illinois Extension horticulturist. “Probably the most common tea herbs are mint, chamomile and lavender.”

Mint is an aggressive plant, so it works best in containers that can be moved indoors in winter, Ferree said.

“Herbs are very easy to grow, have few pest problems and can be used right

numerous health benefits, they can become too much of a good thing.

“If you stray away from the usual herbs, such as mint, chamomile or lemon verbena, make sure the plant is safe to drink without causing adverse or allergic reactions – particularly in combination with any medications – or worse, that it is poisonous,” said Leonard Perry, extension professor emeritus at the University of Vermont.

“Most advise not to give herbal teas to children, particularly those under the age of 6,” he said. “Some herbs to avoid include lobelia and pennyroyal.

Stress impacts cardiovascular health Dear Doctors: I’ve been hearing on the news that researchers have discovered that when stress causes a heart attack, it all begins in the brain. How does this work? And is it even possible to control the way our brain responds?

Dear Reader: Before we dive into the details of the intriguing revelations regarding stress and heart health, we’d like to share some soothing news. The same mind-body connection researchers believe plays a role in heart attack also may offer a measure of protection through techniques such as meditation, yoga and mindful relaxation.

Let’s start with the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which have been frontpage news for decades. Obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and smoking – we doubt any of our readers are surprised by that lineup. And while mental and emotional stress long have been suspected to contribute to heart disease, the exact mechanism has remained a mystery.

Now researchers from Harvard Medical School have identified the part of the brain that plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease. Known as the amygdala, it’s a small, almond-shaped area associated with processing emotion. The amygdala receives and interprets input from throughout the brain.

When incoming signals point to danger, the amygdala reacts instantly, bypassing conscious choice. It sets the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the fight-or-flight reflex, into action.

Using imaging techniques to measure brain activity, the researchers could link increased activity in the amygdala to increased production of white blood cells by the bone marrow. This led to inflammation in the arteries, which is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke.

The good news is by using techniques to reduce the stress response, we not only feel more calm and serene, but the benefits also

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier can extend to cardiovascular health. So be good to your amygdala (and to your heart) and consider some options.

Many workplaces, community centers, university extension programs and senior citizen centers now offer stress-reduction programs.

At the very least, they will bring you together with like-minded individuals. Social isolation is associated with increased stress, so simply becoming part of a community with a common goal is a step forward.

Yoga long has been shown to reduce stress and promote physical, emotional and mental well-being. In fact, studies show individuals who practice yoga regularly have lower levels of certain stress chemicals in their blood than those who don’t do yoga. And although many forms of yoga have sprung up over the years – some of them quite fast-paced and with a mindset that almost is competitive – we recommend the gentle and measured approach of basic hatha yoga.

Meditation also is quite effective at reducing stress. Again, studies have shown people who meditate regularly for just as little as 20 minutes a day reduced their blood pressure and reported feeling less stressed than did their non-meditating counterparts.

Tai chi, pilates and deep breathing also are good for stress reduction. And don’t forget the healing power of the natural world. A contemplative walk in the woods or a park will help you leave your worries behind.

I’m printing your letter in the hope it will serve to remind drivers that there are other people on the road and in the parking lot, and not to forget their manners because they happen to be in a rush.

She sometimes talks bad about her dad, too, and she told me they were moving over spring break. Now she’s saying they’re not moving until summer. I’m starting to think some of the stuff she says isn’t true.

I put a family member through nursing school.

Since becoming an R.N. and getting a job in a hospital, he has told me, with “the best intentions,” he periodically reviews the medical records of other family members.

I have told him what he’s doing is illegal and inappropriate, yet he continues.

If I file a formal complaint, his career will be over and he possibly could even face jail time. I do not wish to do that. However, I need advice on how to keep him out of my private medical records. – Fed Up Out West Dear Fed Up: Your relative doesn’t have the “best of intentions.” Your relative is nosy!

Because telling him how you feel about what he’s doing hasn’t stopped him, the only way to ensure your privacy is to turn him in.

Dear Abby: Why can’t drivers be more careful about how they park? Yesterday it happened again. I couldn’t get into my car because someone had parked so close I couldn’t open the door and squeeze in. Luckily, I was the passenger, and my husband was able to get into his side and pull back so I could get in.

Does this happen to other people? What can you do but stand there and wait for the driver to show up and move his or her vehicle? I wish drivers would be more careful about parking between the lines instead of so close to the car(s) next to them. – Stuck In

READER NOTICE:

As a service to you, our valued readers, we offer the following information.

This newspaper will never knowingly accept any advertisement that is illegal or considered fraudulent. If you have questions or doubts about any ads on these pages, we advise that before responding or sending money ahead of time, you check with the local Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Line and/or the Better Business Bureau.

They may have records or documented complaints that will serve to caution you about doing business with these advertisers. Also be advised that some phone numbers published in these ads may require an extra charge. In all cases of questionable value, such as promises or guaranteed income from work-at-home programs, money to loan, etc., if it sounds too good to be true, it may in fact be exactly that. Again, contact the local and/or national agency that may be able to provide you with some background on these companies. This newspaper cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences that occur as a result of you doing business with these advertisers.

As we all know, defense is the hardest part of the game. You signal carefully to partner, but is he watching? By far the clearest signals, the ones that even inattentive partners won’t miss, are with honor card: an ace (preferably), king, queen or jack.

Given that unsubtle hint, in this deal, West leads the heart ace against four spades. What happens after that?

North makes a game-invitational limit raise guaranteeing at least four-card support, and South nudges up one level with reservations, but a vulnerable game bonus is a powerful lure.

At trick one, East should drop the heart jack, top of touching honors when one cannot win the trick because someone else has already played a higher card in the suit. This play denies holding the heart queen.

True, it doesn’t give West any count in the suit; it is coincidental that East has an even number of hearts. What does West do next?

If South has queen-doubleton of hearts, it would be safe for West immediately to cash the king. However, here, if West does that, the contract makes. Declarer loses only two hearts and one club. Also, South won’t be able to discard his heart queen except in the very unlikely layout where he has a singleton club king.

So, at trick two, West should shift.

Then, when East gets in with the club king, he returns the heart nine or 10, snapping up four tricks -- three hearts and one club -- for the defense.

East’s playing the heart seven would be dangerous, West perhaps thinking it is from Q-7-x.

HELPING PAWS PET'S OF THE WEEK

Helping Paws Animal Shelter 2500 Harding Lane Woodstock, IL 60098 815-338-4400 www.helpingpaws.net BREAKING NEWS

Pets of the Week

Eva, is a beautiful black kitty with a tiny white spot on her belly. She is about 1-2 years old and was a good mom to her babies.

Her babies have all found homes and now it's her turn! She enjoys being held and is a total lap cat.

When she is not napping, she enjoys playing with feather toys!

Eva came to us from a high kill shelter. Eva is spayed, micro chipped and current on vaccines.

Maya, is senior special needs girl that is one of the happiest, sweetest, resilient dogs that her foster mom has ever met. Maya is 11 years old, blind and has reduced strength in her hind legs due to a stroke at age 4. She is over 100 lbs. and to build up strength and lose weight she receives special therapy(s) and we are looking for a family that will continue with t herapy at least 2x per month or keep her active on their own. Maya is completely housebroken, loves bones and snuggling. She is absolutely wonderful with cats, dogs, and kids.

Autumn, is a oneyear-old long-haired orange tabby mixed breed kitty. She was a good mom to her babies and is now ready to find her forever home. She enjoys "talking" and long naps. Autumn would love to be the queen of her castle. Autumn has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines and is microchipped.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE MEET

Huntley has just enough

Red Raiders hold off C-G for team title; Miller sweeps hurdles

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Huntley junior Tyra Miller admits her relationship with the 300-meter low hurdles, a relatively new race for her, is of the love/hate variety.

The 300 hurdles, a grueling test of technique and endurance, generally is regarded as one of track’s toughest races.

Miller was loving it Friday night, however. After winning the 100 high hurdles earlier in the meet, Miller, running only her third 300 race this season, completed the hurdles sweep.

Her performance, along with the Red Raiders’ depth in the middle of the meet, helped Huntley take the Fox Valley Conference Girls Track and Field Meet team championship at Jacobs Athletic Field. Huntley finished with 128 points to hold off defending champion Cary-Grove with 122.

The Raiders picked up their second FVC title in three years and have the McHenry County and FVC titles in the same year for the first time.

Miller, who already ran the 100 highs, suggested to her coaches about trying the 300s this season.

“It’s a love/hate relationship, honestly,” she said. “They’re better than a 400, but not really. They’re a shorter distance. It’s a fun race. It’s the endurance and having the mental power to finish the race.”

Huntley coach Shawn Nordeen liked that the Raiders won four of six races from the 100 highs through the 300 lows, doubling up in both hurdles races with Daryn Davis (second in the highs) and Kendall Only (third in the lows).

“We made that jump there just like we did at county,” Nordeen said. “On the bus here we talked about this could be the first time we win county and conference in the same year. This is what they prepared for 16 weeks ago, and stayed healthy and believed in what we’re doing.”

Crystal Lake South’s Caitlin Bruzzini, Prairie Ridge’s Natasha Schaffer and Cary-Grove’s Paige Groves were some of the meet’s stars, all winning two events. McHenry’s Holly Vogt, Jamie Howie, Janessa Kruse and Jenna Pauly tied the 4x100 meet record with a 49.73.

Bruzzini ran personal-best times in the 3,200 (10:58.76) and the 1,600 (5:08.58), then cranked out a 1:01 split

“I’m really, really happy with it,” Bruzzini said. “I was not expecting that. I’m coming off a cold, so just do the best I can. I’m really happy. My (distance) coach (Ken Greenfield) was running back and forth giving me 200 splits. I wanted to get a [personal record], and that helped a lot.”

Schaffer repeated as champion in the long and triple jumps.

“I feel like I’m in a great spot,” Schaffer said. “I’ll be ready to take on sectional and feel like I’m in a great mental situation. I feel like I’m in a great physical situation. I feel like all the pieces are falling together.”

Vogt won the 100, was second in the 200 and led off McHenry’s record-tying 4x100 team. The Warriors tied Prairie Ridge’s team from 2011.

“On our handoff between me and Jamie (Howie), we changed our mark and it worked out much better,” Vogt said. “In the 100, on any given day, I think any one of us could have won.

Today was just my day. I found that extra gear.”

MARENGO SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT: HAMPSHIRE 11, MARENGO 7

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Emily Egger Hampshire, fr., P

Egger came in on short notice and pitched 22/3 innings of relief, allowing five runs on six hits, walking none and striking out two. She also went 1 for 1 with an RBI single.

q THE NUMBER

5

RBIs for Hampshire’s Sarah Bowen, all coming after the batter in front of her was intentionally walked

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Each inning in which Hampshire scored began with the leadoff batter getting on base and coming around to score. The leadoff batter didn’t reach in any of the three innings that the Whip-Purs didn’t score.

three-run home run put the Whip-Purs up, 11-7, and Hampshire held on to win by that score in a Marengo Tournament game. Bowen said she knew it was gone when it left her bat.

“I really like inside pitches, so I backed off the plate a little bit and just

smacked it,” Bowen said.

Marengo threatened in the bottom of the seventh, putting runners on first and second, but Hampshire’s Jasmine Lopez got Riley Connell to ground to third, where De Chant stepped on the base and threw across the diamond for a game-ending double play.

Lopez got the win for the Whip-Purs (18-7), but it didn’t come easily. In the bottom of the third, a line drive by Anna Walsweer hit Lopez in the hand, and she exited the game. Emily Egger came on for 22/3 innings before Lopez re-entered and closed out the game.

“I went out there and her hand’s shaking, and it’s already bruised,” Wasilewski said. “I said, ‘Let’s take some time, sit on it with some ice, relax a little bit.’ She was throwing behind [the dugout], and she wasn’t feeling OK, wasn’t feeling OK, then she goes, ‘I’m good.’

“We kind of have said all year we’re going to let them piggyback off each other. As soon as one gets in trouble, put another one in just to throw the other team off so they see something different.”

Each team scored once in the first inning, but Hampshire broke it open with a five-run top of the third, including

two-run singles from Bowen and Lopez.

Marengo (19-4) chipped away, however, scoring once in the third, twice in the fourth and three times in the bottom of the fifth to even the score at 7.

Then came Bowen’s blast and Hampshire’s four-run inning to take the lead.

In addition to Bowen’s five RBIs, Hampshire got contributions throughout the lineup.

Leadoff hitter Delaney Rummell reached base in all five plate appearances, with four hits, including a triple, and three runs. Gwen Malecke had two hits, drove in two runs and scored, while Lopez had three hits and a pair of RBIs. De Chant scored three times and had a double in addition to the two walks, and Renee Malecke had two hits.

Dionne took the loss, giving up 11 runs on 13 hits while walking four and hitting a batter. Dionne also struck out seven.

Dionne led the Indians with three hits, including a double, and four RBIs. Dani Hartmann had three hits and scored twice. Leah Secor reached base four times, with two hits, an RBI and two runs scored. Connell reached base four times, including a double, and drove in a run.

regular season, both he and Woodstock athletic director Glen Wilson confirmed Thursday.

Golda, who also coached the Blue Streaks’ boys team, was in his seventh season coaching the Woodstock girls, but in a text he said he “stumbled into an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” He didn’t elaborate when contacted for information on the new job. Assistant coach Matt Warmbier has taken over as interim head coach, Wilson said.

The Blue Streaks close the regular season against Marengo on Monday.

Talking about playoffs: The Class 1A playoffs begin this week, and Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg will be happy to be starting them in different places. The conference rivals, which split their regular-season matches this year, have been constant playoff nemeses for almost a decade but this season are in different regionals for the second time in the past nine seasons.

Last year, the two teams were in different divisions (with R-B getting bumped up to Class 2A), but that was the first time they didn’t meet in a regional since 2009 and the first time they were in different regionals since 2008. Johnsburg and R-B met in regional finals in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and in regional semifinals in 2011 and 2010. In 2009, they were in the same regional, but both lost in the semifinals.

This year, Johnsburg is in the Cristo Rey St. Martin Regional, which the Skyhawks will

begin on Tuesday, facing either the hosts or Elgin Academy in a 7 p.m. semifinal in Waukegan. R-B is at the Harvard Regional.

The Rockets open in Wednesday’s 4:30 p.m. semifinal against the host Hornets.

The postseason rivalry could be renewed, however, in a sectional final if both teams get that far. Johnsburg is the No. 1 seed on its side of the North Shore Country Day Sectional, while R-B is No. 2 on the opposite side of that sectional.

Inside Girls Soccer ATHLETE OF THE WEEK AMBER HUMPHRES Johnsburg, jr.

Humphres had five goals and six assists in three wins for the Skyhawks in the past week. On Saturday, she was involved in all five of the team’s goals, scoring three and assisting on the other two. She didn’t score Tuesday but had two assists, then capped the regular season with two goals and two assists Thursday.

Crystal Lake South (14-1-1, 5-0 Fox Valley Conference): The Gators were rained out Monday but then hung 11 goals on Hampshire and eked out a 1-0 win against Huntley to remain perfect in conference play. That sets up Saturday’s game against Prairie Ridge as a potential FVC title match, with another tough match against Cary-Grove on Tuesday.

2. Prairie Ridge (12-1, 6-0 FVC): The Wolves finish the season with a tough run, facing Jacobs, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Huntley in eight days. They began that stretch well, with a 9-2 win over Jacobs, led by hat tricks from Makena Silber and Jena Berkland. On Thursday, they pulled out a 3-2 win over Central.

5. Jacobs (9-7, 4-3 FVC): The Golden Eagles had lost three in a row, including a 9-2 loss Tuesday to Prairie Ridge, before bouncing back with a 6-0 win over McHenry on Thursday. The Golden Eagles close the regular season Tuesday at Dundee-Crown.

WHAT TO WATCH Prairie Ridge at Crystal Lake South 10 a.m. Saturday This one could end up as the de facto FVC championship game, as the conference’s last two unbeaten teams face off. The two teams both have high-scoring offenses and reliable defenses. The winner will head into the final week of the regular season in sole possession of first place.

MARENGO – Marengo made it clear that it would rather face Hampshire’s Sarah Bowen than cleanup hitter Peyton De Chant, so as Bowen stepped to the plate in the sixth inning, she was feeling motivated to prove the Indians foolish.

In the third inning, Marengo intentionally walked De Chant, only to see Bowen drive in two runs a couple of pitches later. With Hampshire leading by a run in the sixth, Hampshire again intentionally walked De Chant to get to Bowen.

“I was a little mad,” Bowen said. “Especially because my other two at-bats were pretty bad, so I was like, ‘OK, that’s just like disrespect to me,’ so I was pretty mad when I walked up there.”

This time, the walk to De Chant put two runners on for Bowen with one out.

“I said, ‘That’s an insult to you, so take advantage and sock it to them,’ ” Hampshire coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “She did.”

Bowen turned on an inside pitch from Marengo’s Mariah Dionne and ripped it over the fence in left field. The

4 WOODSTOCK NORTH BOYS BASKETBALL

New coach Jandron no stranger to local basketball

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Dale Jandron has spent more than two decades around various levels of basketball in Woodstock.

Jandron started the Woodstock Recreation Basketball League, helped run Woodstock North Feeder Basketball and was an assistant coach at Woodstock High School for six years.

Now, he will take over as varsity boys head coach at Woodstock North, Thunder athletic director Brady Stromquist said Friday.

Jandron, whose Dale Jandron sons Drew and Josh graduated from North, will be the third coach in the Thunder’s history.

Joe Conroy was there one season before Steve Ryan coached the next seven. Ryan resigned this winter after his teams were 41-149 while playing mostly larger schools for six of those years in the Fox Valley Conference.

“I’ve had a long relationship with Woodstock North,” Jandron said. “My heart’s been with them a long, long time. I thought it’d be a perfect fit. I hope I’ll be able to get a little tradition going,

get more kids involved.”

Stromquist said he felt during the interview process that Jandron was ideal for the job. Jandron recently coached a few seasons at Alden-Hebron as boys coach.

“The biggest thing we took out of the interview process was his absolute love and passion for not only basketball but for Woodstock and Woodstock North basketball,” Stromquist said.

Whitewater players.

“You know you have a big spot to fill,” Goebel said. “We don’t look at our past. We just focus on our present match. The past is a distraction.”

Siemon’s family has a long connection to the program’s WIAC dominance. Rachel’s older sister, Amy, was a senior in 2011 and also played for four consecutive league title winners as a Warhawk.

“It’s amazing to have another one in the books,” Rachel Siemon said.

Although this year’s team has only one freshman, the older team members ensure the program’s history is well known to young players. “[They know] how important this is to us and how much work goes into it,” Siemon said. “Before you get here, you really have no idea. It’s a lot of work, but it’s the best experience you could ever have, being a part of this team.”

Goebel’s biggest gains at Whitewater have been in learning many new skills.

She spent all four seasons in high school playing only singles.

“For me, the biggest thing was learning doubles,” she said. “From different strategies to understanding how to deal with a partner to play-

ing different styles, … it changed my whole game. I actually enjoy doubles more than I do singles.”

Doubles has allowed Goebel to improve her play at the net.

“It was a skill I never really had,” she said. “I’ve learned to be more comfortable there.”

For Wallace, the opposite is true.

“I played four years of doubles in high school and didn’t get much of a chance to play singles,” she said.

“In college, I’ve definitely improved at this.”

Whitewater will learn Monday where it will play the first three rounds of the NCAAs, which begin next week.

“What’s so special is that we have the ability to go to nationals, just to get that experience,” Siemon said.

Reiser races to PR at Drake: Illinois sophomore Jesse Reiser (McHenry West) raced to the fourth-best 5,000-meter run time in school history last week at the prestigious Drake Relays in Iowa.

Reiser finished fourth in the event in a personal-best 13:54.66. The finish was 15 seconds better than Reiser’s top time from earlier this season, which was 14:09.21 at the Stanford Invitational.

For 10 seasons, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s women’s tennis program has dominated its conference.

The Warhawks swept two opponents by 5-0 scores last weekend to win the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title and earn the league’s automatic NCAA Division III tournament berth for the 10th consecutive year.

For all the success on the court – to the tune of 23 wins a Jillian season on average Wallace over the past 10 years – the work that coach Frank Barnes, assistant coach Byron Balkin and the athletes do off the court is just as impressive.

“I think that’s what makes us a Rachel great D-III tennis Siemon program,” said senior Rachel Siemon, a Crystal Lake South graduate. “[Our coaches] put a lot of effort into things off the court, such as conditioning, lifting and team bonding.

Brittany We push ourselves Goebel each year, getting in extra hitting, getting in extra workouts and conditioning.”

Siemon is one of three local athletes who have helped Whitewater to a 19-7 record and a 6-0 conference mark.

Junior Jillian Wallace, a Crystal Lake Central grad, is leading the team with a whopping 50 combined victories, thanks to a team-best 29-7 singles record.

Fellow junior Brittany Goebel (McHenry West) has 37 wins, including an 18-11 singles mark.

“As a team, we dedicate every day to working harder,” Wallace said.

“We practice, lift and condition as a team, and this helps us grow better physically and mentally. Our team is incredibly close, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”

In the fall, Wallace won WIAC individual titles at No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles. Goebel won at No. 5 singles and teamed with Siemon for the No. 3 doubles championship.

The success has set a high bar for

letes this season to run faster than 14 minutes in the event. In school history, sub-14 minute times had happened only six times in all previous seasons combined.

Illinois tied for second as a team in the 108th running of the meet.

Warhawks climb polls: Wisconsin-Whitewater’s baseball team is ranked in the top 10 nationally in a pair of D-III polls this week. The Warhawks, thanks to the effort of two local players, are ranked fourth by the American Baseball Coaches Association and eighth by D3Baseball.com.

Sophomore third baseman Cal Aldridge (Prairie Ridge) and sophomore pitcher Michael Kaska (Richmond-Burton) have been key contributors to Whitewater’s success.

Aldridge is batting .287 with three home runs and 20 RBIs, which ranks third on the team.

Whitewater (26-6) has won 10 of its past 13 games, including three victories in four WIAC games last weekend against UW-Platteville. In the four-game series, Aldridge was 6 for 12 with five RBIs. Over a seven-day span late last month, Aldridge raised his batting average 43 points.

Kaska, a sophomore right-hander, has been one of the Warhawks’ most reliable arms out of the bullpen.

Kaska is 2-2 with a 1.80 ERA in 13 appearances. He also has started two games. In 30 innings, he has compiled 26 strikeouts and only seven walks.

Midway mastery Toth: Marian Central grad Elizabeth Toth was recognized April 24 as the River States Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week. Toth is a sophomore at NAIA Midway University in Kentucky.

Toth, of Algonquin, was the only player to win two matches in Midway’s 5-4 conference win April 22 against Pittsburgh’s Carlow University. She won an 8-5 decision at No. 2 doubles, then rallied for a three-set victory at No. 3 singles, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2.

The player of the week honor is the first weekly RSC recognition for a Midway player since the 2012 and ’13 seasons.

Last weekend, Toth again won two matches in a 5-0 victory against Carlow in the RSC Tournament quarterfinals. Midway ended its season with a 5-0 loss to top-seeded Asbury in the semifinals.

10 YANKEES 3, CUBS 2

1 strike from save, Rondon taken deep

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – Joe Girardi knows of whence he speaks.

The manager of the New York Yankees is a bright guy as it is, but he also played a few games in capricious Wrigley Field.

Girardi proved prophetic Friday as his Bronx Bombers at first suffered from the elements and then benefited from them in a 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Brett Gardner cracked a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning off Hector Rondon to erase a 2-0 deficit and stun the Cubs.

The day was a cold one, with the wind howling in from left field at 25 mph and gusting to 35 mph. If the ball was going out, it was going out to right field.

Cubs sluggers Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber went to right field for solo homers, Bryant in the first inning and Schwarber in the sixth.

Gardner battled Rondon – in the game because closer Wade Davis had worked three straight days and was unavailable – before connecting on a poor-

Cubs relief pitcher Hector Rondon reacts as the Yankees’ Brett Gardner rounds the bases after hitting a three-run home run during the ninth inning Friday at Wrigley Field. ly located 2-2 pitch.

The Cubs tried to come back in the bottom of the inning, but Aroldis Chapman overcame a leadoff error and shut the door to close it for the Yankees.

“Our guys are used to playing in the cold,” said Girardi, a former Cubs

catcher, before the game. “What you have to deal with when it’s cold here is the wind blowing in. And the games are different. It’s different than when the wind is blowing out. You like to say to keep the ball low when you hit line drives. I think you have to take advantage of every little situation on days like this.

“Most ballparks play similar all the time. This does not.”

Rondon, who lost his closer’s job when the Cubs acquired Chapman from the Yankees last July, got the first out of the ninth before giving up a single to Chase Headley. He struck out Chris Carter before walking Jacoby Ellsbury, setting the stage for Gardner’s homer.

“I was fired up, man,” Gardner said.

“We were kind of slow all game, and they’re winning 2-0 up to last strike in the ninth inning. It feels good to come through in a situation like that.”

The wind made Gardner uncertain even as he hit the ball hard.

“The lower you hit it, the better chance you have of it cutting through the wind,” he said. “I felt pretty good, but I wasn’t sure. It felt good to see it go out.”

ORIOLES 4, WHITE SOX 2

Many hits, few runs against O’s staff that loses starter in 1st

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

BALTIMORE – Funny game, baseball.

Funny how three of the first four White Sox to bat against Wade Miley attacked him with hits, two of which ricocheted off the Orioles left-hander, including Jose Abreu’s 103-mph liner, which bounced off his left wrist all the way into short right field.

Funny how the knockout shot, by Avisail Garcia two pitches later, hit Miley in the rump.

Miley grabbed the area of concern with one hand, then tried to wave off manager Buck Showalter and the O’s training staff with his free hand as they headed toward him for a second visit.

The O’s could laugh about it because they are 18-10 after a 4-2 victory and Miley didn’t appear to be seriously hurt.

But Showalter, after seeing his pitcher weave and bob on the mound, knew it wasn’t Miley’s night, so he got him out of there in one piece.

X-rays were negative on Miley’s

wrist.

“I should have taken him out after the first one,” Showalter said, adding in jest that no X-rays were taken of Miley’s rear end.

Funny, too, how Miley’s replacement pitched six scoreless innings.

Gabriel Ynoa, called up from Triple-A Thursday, had pitched to a 6.65 ERA there, an ERA bludgeoned by none other than the Sox’s Triple-A Charlotte Knights, who had riddled him for seven runs on 10 hits in 22/3 innings April 7.

Shortly after Ynoa departed, John Denver’s “Life ain’t nothing but a funny, funny riddle” lyric boomed through the stadium during Baltimore’s longstanding seventh-inning sing-along to “Thank God I’m a Country Boy.” Not so funny for the Sox was collecting 12 hits and squeezing out only two runs. They left 10 runners on base.

“It’s a crazy game,” Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez said. “We had 12 hits and lost the game.’’

It was an emotional game for Gonzalez, too. A popular player both in the Orioles clubhouse and among fans

– they cheered him nicely a couple of times Friday – he pitched at Camden Yards for the first time against a team that let him late in spring training last year.

“Coming back at Camden Yards, the fans were happy to see me,” he said.

“Emotion. I was a little too much amped up. But I settled down after that.”

Gonzalez (3-2, 3.18 ERA) pitched 62/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits – including Chris Davis’ solo homer in the third – while striking out five and walking none.

“Everything was going on in my head,” Gonzalez said. “This is where I started my career in the big leagues.

The Orioles gave me my first opportunity, but now I’m with the White Sox, happy to be here, and we’re doing a good job.”

The Sox weren’t so good defensively, allowing two runs in the eighth in part because of Davis’ tricky ground ball that got past third baseman Cody Asche’s backhand attempt for a single and an error on Tim Anderson.

Kentucky Derby entrant Patch, who has one eye, plays with the lead line as he gets a bath after his morning gallop Thursday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.

KENTUCKY DERBY: 1:30 P.M., NBC (POST TIME: 5:46 P.M.)

No clear favorite; rain adds intrigue

By BETH HARRIS

The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Two trainers saddling three horses each. A horse trying to win for the first time. The early favorite whose training was interrupted. Another trying to overcome irascible behavior.

The 20-horse field for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby lacks a dominant runner. The winter prep races did nothing to establish a clear favorite.

Classic Empire is the 4-1 pre-race choice. Two horses, Always Dreaming and McCraken, are the co-second choices at 5-1. Toss in the threat of rain early in the day, which could soak well-dressed racegoers wearing fancy hats, and it all makes for a most unpredictable Derby.

Todd Pletcher will saddle three horses – 5-1 shot Always Dreaming, 20-1 Tapwrit and 30-1 Patch, the oneeyed horse. Pletcher is 1 for 45 in the Derby.

With no left eye, Patch will only see the crowd as he breaks from the far outside spot in the gate. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione figures to hustle him over to the rail to save ground as the field makes its way to the traffic-choked first turn.

Steve Asmussen also has three runners, and they’re all long shots: 15-1 Hence, 20-1 Lookin at Lee, and 30-1 Untrapped. He is winless in 15 tries, the only hole in his Hall of Fame résumé.

“The Kentucky Derby would look

Abel Tasman wins Kentucky Oaks LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Abel Tasman rallied from last and charged late to win the Kentucky Oaks by 11/4 lengths Friday and give Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert the victory with his only entrant in the weekend marquee races at Churchill Downs.

As Miss Sky Warrior charged past favorite Paradise Woods through the far turn, Abel Tasman and Daddys Lil Darling also began making their moves on the sloppy track.

Abel Tasman got clear in the stretch to win the $1 million marquee race for 3-year-old fillies and make up for her distant second to Paradise Woods in the Santa Anita Oaks.

– The Associated Press

really good to add to the list,” he said.

Don’t look for four-time winner Bob Baffert. The white-haired trainer doesn’t have a horse this year, but like everyone else, he has an opinion.

“There’s a lot of parity. There are some nice, solid horses,” he said. “I think Classic Empire is probably the best horse in the race. Todd’s horse has brilliance, Always Dreaming. If they can get him figured out, he could steal it. The rest are bombers.”

The rain is predicted to end hours before the race goes off in the early evening. The last Derby run on an off-track was 2013, when Orb splashed home in front.

Favorites have won the Derby the past four years.

Dec. 18, 2014, was a signature day in Jay Cutler’s story. He met the media when he didn’t have to during one of the most controversial seasons in recent memory.

Former coach Marc Trestman – who was hired to get the best out of Cutler – had turned his back on him. Cutler was benched; Jimmy Clausen would start.

All of it was mind-blowing. But there was Cutler in the Bears’ brand-new media center at Halas Hall.

“There’s enough distractions going on in this building that my focus could only be just helping the guys and the offense, trying Jay Cutler to help Jimmy,” Cutler said then.

From there, the conversation turned to whether Cutler thought he played his last game for the Bears.

“It definitely crossed my mind,” Cutler said. “For sure.”

For Cutler, his willingness to engage those who had ridiculed him for years – for his turnovers to leadership skills to body language and so on – at a time when anarchy ruled Lake Forest encapsulated his changing narrative.

It was a low moment for the Bears – Trestman, general manager Phil Emery and plenty of players would be gone soon enough – but it was a good one for him.

On Friday, the changes in Cutler that were seen and heard over the past few years in Chicago finally were recognized at a national level. Cutler officially joined Fox Sports as a game-day analyst.

He will team with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt, analyst Charles Davis and sideline reporter Pam Oliver.

Ironically, Cutler’s first game as a media member will be the Bears’ third preseason game against the Titans on Aug. 27 in Nashville, Tennessee, where he played collegiately at Vanderbilt and where his family now calls home.

In an interview with “Waddle & Silvy” on WMVP-AM 1000, Cutler called his decision “permanent,” although he acknowledged that if the Bears hadn’t released him he still would be playing.

At 34, only certain teams would interest him, and that didn’t materialize. But come the fall, he expects to miss playing.

“If things would have worked out differently in January, February and March, we might be in a different situation, but they didn’t,” Cutler said. “So this is where we are, and I feel really good about it.”

Cutler first considered the move to broadcasting in January after talking to his wife, reality star Kristin Cavallari.

VIEWS Adam Jahns With a Cardinals-Seahawks game as his assignment, Cutler auditioned with Burkhardt on April 27 in Los Angeles. He studied the analysis of Troy Aikman, Jon Gruden and John Lynch.

“I felt as prepared as I was going to be,” Cutler said. “I just kind of went in and winged it.”

In 2013, Cutler’s public persona began to change locally. He engaged more with the media, starting with weekly appearances on “Waddle & Silvy.” He still scoffed at certain questions, but queries about the X’s and O’s and certain matchups often led to insightful responses.

At times, Cutler’s sense of humor took over news conferences. His sarcastic, dry wit garnered real laughter, whether it was poking fun at Brandon Marshall or shrugging off his contact with Brian Urlacher.

Reporters sought reasons for the change. Columns went from ridiculing his body language to highlighting his maturation and to detailing how marrying Cavallari and becoming a father changed him.

Cutler always will have his detractors. They were vocal again Friday.

They can point to his .500 record, interceptions and his run through coordinators (although Ron Turner, Mike Martz and Mike Tice haven’t been NFL coordinators since the Bears).

But Cutler always had his backers inside Halas Hall, although many still ignore it.

“We’re excited for the fans to get to know the Jay Cutler we knew inside the walls of Halas Hall,” Bears chairman George McCaskey said in a statement.

General manager Ryan Pace might have been eying the Bears’ next quarterback, but he, coach John Fox and former offensive coordinator Adam Gase also warmed to Cutler. Current offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains is a friend.

“I already told him I’m going to crush every play call,” Cutler said.

Of course, that was a joke.

It’s another example of the “new” Cutler who arrived in town a few years ago. And it’s what Fox wants.

“I’m really happy with where I am in my life,” Cutler said, “and really the future going forward.”
