Who’s in the ‘media bubble,’ and how do we escape?

Whenever I come across a piece about the “media bubble,” I wonder what it’s like inside.

How many people can they fit in there? Is it big enough that Don Lemon and Sean Hannity never run into each other? I imagine that the climate is fairly temperate.

I think about a cheesy, made-for-TV movie from childhood when John Travolta was “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble,” and what would happen if Anderson Cooper was running on a beach in Turkey when his spacesuit began to fail.

It turns out that, just as there was a real inspiration for “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” and a spoof “Seinfeld” episode years later, there is some basis in reality for this media bubble, but maybe not for all of the reasons that you’d think.

The media bubble has been poked and prodded so many times I can’t understand why it hasn’t popped, but it took on new scrutiny after no one inside that bubble was able to predict that Donald Trump would win the presidency. Sad. The most boring theory is that most journalists have more liberal tendencies and identify with the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party, so there. Hate to burst anyone else’s bubble, but that’s been true for my entire life, and I just admitted to being old enough to wax nostalgic about 1970s network TV movies.

A recent Politico article, which ironically is inside the media bubble, shed new light on why the media bubble is the media bubble. And the fact that the call is coming from inside the house makes it that much more frightening.

The main point of the piece has to do with the shrinking and shifting of the media landscape, which I’ve also witnessed firsthand throughout my lifetime, and what that’s done to journalism jobs, particularly where those jobs actually are.

Go back two decades, even one, and the bulk of media jobs were in the newspaper industry.

The reasons for the financial demise of the industry are vastly complicated, and I’m sure you can find plenty of people to provide simplistic and in some cases dead-wrong answers, but that’s a topic that I’m not getting into now.

The results of that demise are what I found interesting. As the Politco piece points out, hundreds of thousands of newspaper jobs were lost, hundreds of newspapers folded and other cuts were made across the country. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, newspapers employed about 455,000 people in 1990 compared with 173,900 today across the U.S. Just because jobs have disappeared at newspapers doesn’t mean there’s less news or less appetite for it. Something else was taking place during that time – internet and broadcast journalism jobs

WHERE IT’S AT

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons were heading in the other direction.

Over an 11-year period, internet publishing jobs grew from 77,900 jobs to 206,700 jobs this January. So today, there are more internet publishing jobs than newspaper jobs. The dynamic that made the media bubble worse is where those jobs are.

Under the newspaper model, reporters and editors live among the people we cover. As much as I might enjoy the presumed serenity of a bubble, all it takes is one phone call from a ticked-off reader to bust it pretty quickly. We’re in touch with our readers because they’re in touch with us. There’s no switchboard in New York or L.A. to transfer anyone to.

Under the internet model, reporters and editors can live anywhere, and according to Jack Shafer and Tucker Doherty, who wrote the Politico piece after examining U.S. Census data, they are living nearly exclusively along the East and West coasts. A more thorough examination of that data showed that more than half of those employees live in counties where Hillary Clinton won by 30 percent or more.

So there’s a good chance that many of those internet journalists literally walked through life not knowing any Trump supporters other than the one retired uncle in Arizona who’d give any Clinton supporters the what for on Facebook eight times a week.

That’s not just bad for the industry, it’s bad for the public and explains a great deal why so much of Middle America feels like they aren’t part of the conversation anymore.

Communities are lucky to still have newspapers – still have a voice, still have a means of expressing themselves, a way to be part of the larger conversation and have some common understanding of the issues their neighbors face. Conversely, newspapers are lucky to be situated in communities where people care enough to support them.

Those are things, no matter where you live, that neither newspapers nor readers should take for granted. In the meantime, we’re all stuck in this McHenry County bubble together.

‘GROW IN THE RIGHT WAY’

Incoming Hebron village president working on business recruitment

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com HEBRON – This village of 1,200 people on the Illinois-Wisconsin border has basked in the afterglow of its 1952 state basketball championship for more than half a century, but more recently, much of the attention on Hebron has focused on its highest elected official, who was arrested twice on crack cocaine charges.

This month, the village of Hebron is about to get a fresh start with a new

leader. Incoming Village President Kimberly Martinez said she wants to put the village’s reputation in the past and move forward.

Former Village President John Jacobson still faces drug and weapons charges after he was arrested last year during an incident in which police said they found him unconscious in his home after a night of smoking crack and drinking. It was his second crack cocaine arrest.

Martinez takes office May 15 at the next Village Board meeting. She won

the April 4 election, taking 41 percent of the vote with 157 votes. Martinez faced three challengers, including Trustee Mark Mogan, former Village President Frank Beatty and incumbent John Jacobson.

The local real estate agent said her main focus is growth. In between meetings with city staff, residents and business owners, she said she already has begun making phone calls to work toward business recruitment.

“I wasn’t going to wait until Day 1 to start,” she said. “There was no

need to wait for that.”

The village’s main strip is important, but industrial growth and small-business recruitment also are on the new village president’s radar.

“I can’t just focus on the downtown. Everywhere that we have zoned we are going to focus on,” she said.

“The better amenities we have for the town and the more sales income tax we have for the town is going to help us grow in the right way.”

Mark Rigby of Woodstock picks up trash Saturday along Route 47 in Woodstock during the second annual Keep Woodstock Beautiful day.

WOODSTOCK

Community helps improve city during 2nd annual cleanup day

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Keep Woodstock Beautiful, a community cleanup initiative, is looking to expand after having its second successful event on Saturday.

“It’s not just going to be a one-day event. We want to keep this growing,” founder and event coordinator Laura Witlox said.

About 100 Woodstock residents came out to the second annual Keep Woodstock Beautiful event on Saturday.

Throughout the morning, volunteers went out to various sites around the city to clean up any trash left behind.

Some of the areas volunteers helped pick up trash from included alongside Sheila Street, St. Johns Road, Zimmerman Road and several sections of Route 47.

Torrie Benson-Pryor spent their Saturday morning with family members cleaning up garbage to help beautify their city.

“It’s important always to give back to the community and pay it forward.

These are areas no one gets to on a regular business and we want to take pride in where we live,” Pryor said.

“I own a business on the Woodstock Square [TLB Counseling Ltd.] who sponsored part of this cleanup,” Benson-Pry-

or said. “So we not only sponsored, but we actually came out to participate and further show our support in helping the community.”

Participants were provided with trash bags, gloves and safety vests for the free, family-friendly event. They were also treated to a free breakfast and lunch provided by some of the event’s sponsors.

Open-air movie theaters, fondly known as drive-ins, were quite popular and had their heyday in the mid-1950s and ’60s.

Illinois had 120 such theaters at one time, and McHenry County had two, The Crystal Drive-In off Pingree Road in Crystal Lake and the McHenry Outdoor Theater (formerly the Skyline) in McHenry. The Crystal closed in the 1970s, the beginning of the end for many drive-ins across the country. The only vestige of its existence is a street named “Drive-in Lane.” The old and battered Skyline Drive-In sign that had risen above Route 120 has been removed for restoration, but the theater itself is thriving. Owner Scott Dehn credits a groundswell of public support, which led to money from Honda for a digital technology upgrade in 2013, for saving the McHenry Outdoor Theater. It launched a new season Friday, and with that, kids will have an opportunity to wear their pajamas, play in the grass, hang out at the concession stand, stay up late and see a double feature after sunset.

McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks calls a meeting to order Dec. 5. Members of the board this week began brainstorming ideas for how to cut the property tax levy by 10 percent. ers’ hard-earned money, is really only equaled by our duty to ensure that they have access to the highest-quality services available to anyone – any American,” said Franks, D-Marengo.

County Board members voted last month, 23-1, to set a goal of cutting at least $7.9 million in taxation, based on

its $79.3 million tax levy for this year.

The April 18 resolution also created the committee, which is charged with developing ways to meet the goal by the end of June.

In the past five years, the board has not taken the inflationary levy increase it is entitled to under the tax cap

WOODSTOCK – A working group of just less than half the McHenry County Board has started looking at ways to fulfill its promise to cut its property tax levy by at least 10 percent.

Its Ad Hoc Committee on Tax Reduction met for the first time Thursday, and after 90 minutes of discussion, the committee continued its debate to a second meeting next Wednesday.

Some ideas that were thrown around Thursday included abating all or part of the levy for Valley Hi Nursing Home, which has a surplus fund large enough to fund years of operations; lowering the mileage reimbursement to reflect lower gas prices; and slowly lowering the county’s sixmonth budget surplus by one month as a way to pay for capital projects.

Board Chairman Jack Franks, who ran for office on a platform of a 10 percent cut, told members that the board can make the cuts without sacrificing needed services. He said residents are shortchanged when resources “are wasted in mazes of outdated processes and bureaucracy.”

“The responsibility incumbent upon us, to be good stewards of taxpay-

in recognition of the plight of county property owners.

Board member Tom Wilbeck, R-Barrington Hills, encouraged members to “think outside of the box,” and said that one long-term change should include looking into privatizing Valley Hi all together. The home for the county’s senior citizens was created and funded by voter referendum.

Board member Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, said that significant savings can be found by reforming personnel costs. Among the ideas she also had was curtailing or eliminating spending money on consultants for special projects.

“My opinion has often been that if it wasn’t important enough to put it in [the budget] the first time around, then how important is it?” Barnes said.

Franks said the board also should ask rank-and-file employees, who work in the system every day and see inefficiencies, to submit ideas.

The County Board only can cut its own levy, not those of other local units of government to which residents pay taxes. County government accounts for just less than 10 percent of residential property tax bills in McHenry County – about two-thirds of the average bill goes to public schools.

WOODSTOCK – City Council members are considering installing public Wi-Fi on the Square after Woodstock High School engineering students developed a plan to make it feasible.

As part of Project Lead the Way, a group of five students – including seniors Tim Andersson, Anthony Zepeta, Ryan Baier and Will Maidment as well as junior Cale Fey-Keane – have come up with a plan to offer residents and visitors free internet on the historic Square. The students plan to use the fiber-optic connection that runs into the Opera House to make it happen.

“The city of Woodstock has a longstanding history of being progressive and innovating, and we are one of the few cities of our size to have a cutting-edge fiber network for our public buildings,” Andersson said. “Projects like this seem like a stretch at times, but they pay dividends in the long run.”

The students have proposed installing routers at six access points on the Square, which would allow free, public internet for people and businesses. The connection would be unsecured and have a one-hour refresh rate, which means it wouldn’t be ideal for businesses to rely on for their only internet connection.

Startup costs are projected to be about $22,000, with monthly bandwidth rates running at $330 and the ability to support about 500 users at a time, the group said. The group plans to work with California-based Ruckus Wireless.

One of the potential benefits of the project is the ability to increase marketing efforts in the city of Woodstock through redirection from terms of service to the Real Woodstock page, advertising and demographic surveying, council members said.

“There are so many ways we can use this as a funnel to get [visitors] to the businesses,” council member Maureen Larson said.

• CLEANUP DAY

Continued from page A3 “We appreciate the community coming out, supporting the event and going out to pick up garbage. It obviously improves the appearance of our community and helps build community pride which is very important,” City Manager Roscoe Stelford said.

Seeing several Woodstock families, businesses and community members show interest in keeping their city clean, Sue Stelford, a Keep Woodstock Beautiful committee member, said they plan to create more community cleanup opportunities in the future.

“We decided to do this second one in the spring and talked about doing projects in the fall,” Stelford said.

“These will involve planning projects or beautifying certain areas.”

This year’s event sponsors included Matrix 4, Real Woodstock, the Woodstock Jaycees, Centegra, Country Donuts, Rosati’s Pizza, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and Ignite Woodstock, among others.

Stelford said she’s hoping to get more people involved with each coming event.

“We want people to like us on Facebook and any areas that they want to see improved they need to put it on the Facebook page and we’ll take it under consideration,” Stelford said.

the Huntley Historical Society. In about 1955, the school was turned into apartments.

“I understand that there are things that need to be redone about that building – there’s no doubt about it – any old building has that,” Huntley Historical Society secretary Jake Marino said Thursday. “But this is a structure that has meant so much to the people in this town, from past to present, that it has created such an outcry across all these different citizens.”

A post from February on the Huntley Historical Society’s Facebook page regarding the potential demolition sparked concern from current and former residents.

HUNTLEY – Despite pleas from the Huntley Historical Society to save a former school at 11624 E. Main St., First Congregational Church of Huntley has maintained that it’s too costly to restore the building.

The church, which bought the property in 2006 for a possible building expansion, is seeking a demolition permit from the city to raze the building, village documents show.

The item was listed on Huntley’s agenda at Thursday’s Committee of the Whole meeting for “informational purposes only.”

About a dozen people showed up Thursday to show support for the former school, which was built in 1875 and added onto in 1909, according to

• VILLAGE PRESIDENT

Incoming Hebron Village President Kimberly Martinez poses for a portrait Wednesday in Hebron while visiting locals.

Martinez defeated incumbent John Jacobson, Frank Beatty and Mark Mogan to win the race for village president.

Continued from page A3

After Jacobson’s arrests, residents, business owners and fellow city officials called for his resignation and said they wanted to limit his power.

Jacobson’s legal problems made international news. Canadian Broadcasting Corp.’s CBC News wrote about Hebron in April 2016. Its headline: “He runs the town. He’s accused of doing crack. And he won’t step down. Welcome to Hebron, Illinois.”

Before Jacobson, the village’s longstanding claim to regional fame was its 1952 state high school basketball championship and the local water tower commemorating the victory.

“As far as anything that has happened in the past, it’s done,” Martinez said. “We aren’t looking back.

[Hebron] is a nice community. I can’t say that enough. This will be a very good place for businesses to start.”

Local businesses owners are hopeful that new leadership will bring change to the town.

Debra Mindham, owner of Hazel’s Diner and Bakery on Main Street, said that she feels it will take time to turn around the town’s reputation, but she also said she hopes Martinez

Sarah Nader – snader @shawmedia.com

can do it.

“I am hoping she can help us become the great little town we once were and end the mismanagement,” she said. “I think some things that have been done have been in very bad judgment. … We have such vast pos-

sibilities for growth, but how many people are going to come here knowing our history of leadership?”

Longtime business owner Mary Noonan, who operates the ice cream shop The Dari on Main Street, said she thinks Martinez will be good for

Hebron.

“She’s been very positive and outgoing,” she said. “People that don’t know her want to say hi and see what she is planning for our little town. We hope for the best, and I am sure it’s going to happen.”

Stop Longmeadow continues efforts to halt construction

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Although construction has started again on Longmeadow Parkway in Algonquin, a group opposed to the $115 million road project isn’t giving up hope that the project can be stopped.

Work was halted for nearly two weeks when U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman issued a temporary restraining order on the project after the Stop Longmeadow group alleged that construction would be a threat to the habitat of an endangered bumblebee.

An extension of that order was not granted on April 28 because Stop Longmeadow did not present strong

enough evidence that the bee’s habitat will be affected, according to a statement from Coleman.

Stop Longmeadow’s bee expert, entomologist Sydney Cameron, submitted an affidavit saying that construction is “likely to negatively and irreparably affect the rusty-patched bumblebee population in that area.”

However, Coleman said, the affidavit was “quite generally stated.”

The court’s concern about the environmental effect on the habitat of the bees is eased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s ongoing assessment of the remainder of the construction project, Coleman said in the statement.

• SCHOOLHOUSE

First Congregational Church of Huntley, which owns an old schoolhouse that later became an apartment building on Main Street, is in the process of submitting a demolition permit for the property, village documents show. The Huntley Historical Society has made pleas to save the former schoolhouse.

Continued from page A13 public comment and called the idea of knocking down the building “pure horse manure.”

He suggested the church relocate the building or the village buy it to use for retail space.

Both Conley and Marino’s comments were met by applause from some in the audience.

Huntley Village Manager Dave Johnson said a landmark petition for the property was brought before the board in 2006, but it was tabled and then never brought back before the board.

Therefore, the schoolhouse has no historic designations.

“So even if we don’t want to see it go down, we don’t really have an option?” Trustee Niko Kanakaris said.

To knock down the structure, a demolition permit first must be issued by Huntley’s Development Services Department.

There isn’t a way to stop the demolition if the church meets the permit requirements, Village Attorney John Cowlin said.

The church’s council President Jeff Peterson said the building is in bad shape.

Leases were not renewed with tenants in October because of safety concerns, he said.

“We’ve done all we can in the last 11 years to keep it up to code and keep the residents safe, but financially for our church to continue to do that it just didn’t make sense,” Peterson said.

The long-term plan for the church would be to expand in that space, but there aren’t funds to do that now,

Peterson said. Razing the building would result in cheaper property taxes, Peterson said.

“Hearing the public talk about the significance of this building, … I get the taxing thing, [but] is there anything that we can do to postpone the razing of it just to see if there’s other options before you just drop it?”

Trustee JR Westberg said.

By the time funds are raised to restore the building, it might already

have fallen down on its own, Peterson said.

“I appreciate everyone is concerned, but where’s the concern been over the last 11 years?” Peterson said. “ … Now we’re in the 11th hour, and everyone wants to help. That would be great if it was the case. We’d certainly entertain anything.”

Huntley Historical Society members did not immediately voice any plans to save the building.

House where Joliet girl’s body found burns down

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The Joliet Township house where 1-year-old Sema’j Crosby was found dead last month caught fire early Saturday.

The East Joliet Fire Protection District was called about 6 a.m. in response to smoke coming from the structure.

Firefighters tried to put out the fire but decided to let it burn to the ground, Fire Chief Robert Scholtes said.

According to a news release from the Will County Sheriff’s Office, the decision to let the house burn was made due to the extent of the fire. The structure burned in about 45 minutes, Scholtes said.

An arson investigator from the State Fire Marshall’s Office will conduct an investigation to try to determine the cause and origin of the fire, according to the sheriff’s office.

“It’s pretty dumbfounding to think about it,” said Zachary Stocking, a nextdoor neighbor.

Stocking and his siblings saw the smoke a little before 6 a.m. and watched the house be consumed by the flames.

“My kids played there every day,” Stocking said. “Sometimes I let my kids

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

LOCAL NEWS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

“This court must also consider the balance of harms and the public interest when there is a significant and certain daily loss of public funds as compared with a more speculative environmental impact,” the judge wrote.

Because it’s early in the construction season, it’s too soon to tell whether the delay will result in a significant increase in the project’s cost, said Kane County Division of Transportation Director and County Engineer Carl Schoedel and Assistant Director of Transportation Steve Coffinbargar.

“The hope and the goal of the county and the contractor is to get the project done on time and within the budget,” Schoedel said.

The phase being worked on now is expected to cost about $13 million and

stretches from Randall Road to Karen Drive. The total $115 million project includes building a four-lane, 5-mile toll road and a four-lane Fox River bridge crossing aimed at reducing traffic congestion in northern Kane County.

Joshua Barney, Stop Longmeadow’s attorney, is due back in federal court May 19.

“The first thing we want to do is we want to make the U.S. government and Kane County comply with the law, which requires quite a bit more due diligence than what they did on the effects of the work they’re doing,” Barney said, referencing the Finding of No Significant Impact that the Federal Highway Administration issued for the project.

Although the lawsuit could take more than a year to sort out, Barney said Stop Longmeadow still is confident it can halt work because permits and funding have not yet been issued for all sections of the road.

Continued from page A22 “This is a ghastly turn of events for a community that was already wounded by the death of the 16-month-old who lived here,” McGuire said. “The wound is even deeper. I’m sure the dismay and confusion is even greater among residents of this area.”

Shortly after noon, an East Joliet Fire Protection District truck arrived on scene with sheriff’s officers and taped off the area.

Sema’j’s body was found in the home early April 27 under a couch with no legs, more than 24 hours after she was reported missing the evening of April 25.

The Will County Coroner’s Office has said further testing is needed to de-

termine how she died and that those reports will take four to five weeks.

After Sema’j’s body was discovered, sheriff’s Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson described the home’s condition as “deplorable,” and the Will County Land Use Department tagged the residence as “unfit for occupancy.”

Everything in the house was destroyed in the blaze, although evidence important to the case had already been removed by investigators before the fire.

In addition to East Joliet firefighters, the New Lenox Fire Protection District also responded to the fire.

The sheriff’s office is asking anyone who may have seen something suspicious leading up to the time frame of the fire to contact its investigation division at 815-727-8574 or leave tips on the sheriff’s office website at www.willcosheriff. org.

WOODSTOCK – The intersection of Charles and Raffel roads will be closed to traffic starting at the end of the month as workers replace a twoway stop with a roundabout.

A detour for Charles Road will be posted May 30 that will take drivers around it via Route 47 and Route 120. A detour for Raffel Road will be posted via Banford and Queen Anne roads.

Preparatory work will begin May 15, but the intersection will remain open to traffic until the end of the month.

The McHenry County Board last month accepted a $2.18 million bid from Landmark Contractors Inc. of Huntley to replace the two-way stop just north of Woodstock.

A roundabout, a common sight on roads in Europe, is a circular inter-

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

Improving the intersection has been on the county’s five-year highway improvement plan since 2009. It is in the top 5 percent of all county intersections under local control when it comes to the severity of crashes, according to county records. More than 60 percent of the crashes at the intersection just north of Woodstock North High School result in injuries, three-fourths of them requiring trips to the hospital.

The roundabout is expected to be open to traffic by mid-August, and construction is expected to be complete in September, weather permitting.

Itoh Peony

The perfect specimen for a perennial garden!

This beautiful perennial is a cross between a regular peony and a tree peony, producing a sturdy shrub like plant with masses of huge flowers that bloom in late spring. Because they have a sturdy stem there is no need for staking and their heavy blooms will not fall over after a rain. Not only is it super fragrant, it’s also deer resistant and makes a great cut flower! It comes in beautiful yellows, lavender-pinks, and mauve-cream! They are gorgeous!

Luigi took great pride in his grandchildren, Danielle (Paolo) Cairoli, Nicolas (Emily) Kuczera, Jude Mariutto and Joseph Mariutto. Nonno, as they called him, was a role model, instilling the importance of hard work, education and family. He supported them at countless piano recitals and soccer games.

Service was a natural part of Lou’s character with contributions as Richmond School Board President, President of Friends of the Crivitz Airport (FOCA), and a member of Richmond Rotary, Knights of Columbus through St. Joseph’s Parish, American Legion and the Elks.

He was active as an ALPA representative for Delta and gave freely of his time, inspiring other aviation enthusiasts through the Young Eagles.

He will be remembered for his soft eyes and bright smile which led him to be part of a Delta commercial in the 1970s. It was rare to hear him raising his voice except when cheering for the Packers. We are thankful for his full and happy life, his jokes and deep love for his family.

U.S. bobsledder Steven Holcomb, 37, found dead

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

Steven Holcomb, the longtime U.S. bobsledding star who drove to three Olympic medals after beating a disease that nearly robbed him of his eyesight, was found dead in Lake Placid, New York, on Saturday.

He was 37.

The U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Bobsled and Skeleton announced the death of the 2010 gold medalist, the cause of which remains unclear. However, officials said there were no indications of foul play after a preliminary investigation at the Olympic Training Center where Holcomb was found in his room. An autopsy was tentatively scheduled for Sunday.

The native of Park City, Utah, was a three-time Olympian, and his signature moment came at the 2010 Vancouver Games when he piloted his four-man sled to a win that snapped a 62-year gold-medal drought for the U.S. in bobsled’s signature race.

• Continued from page A33

“It would be easy to focus on the loss in terms of his Olympic medals and enormous athletic contributions to the organization, but USA Bobsled and SkeleSteven ton is a family and right Holcomb now we are trying to come to grips with the loss of our teammate, our brother and our friend,” said Darrin Steele, the federation’s CEO who had known Holcomb for two decades.

Holcomb also drove to bronze medals in both two- and four-man events at the Sochi Games in 2014, and was expected to be part of the 2018 U.S. Olympic team headed to the Pyeongchang Games.

He also was a former world champion in both two-man and four-man competition.

“The entire Olympic family is shocked and saddened by the incredibly tragic loss today of Steven Holcomb,” U.S. Olympic Committee CEO

Scott Blackmun said. “Steve was a tremendous athlete and even better person, and his perseverance and achievements were an inspiration to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family and the entire bobsledding community.”

Holcomb was still one of the world’s elite drivers, finishing second on the World Cup circuit in two-man points and third in four-man points this past season. His final victory came in Lake Placid last December, when he drove to a two-man win.

He was cherubic, almost always happy in public, someone whose sense of humor was well-known throughout the close-knit bobsled world. Teammates even spent a season chronicling his “Holcy Dance,” a little less-thanrhythmic shuffle that he would do at each stop on the World Cup circuit to make fellow sliders laugh.

But at race time, Holcomb turned icy serious.

He won 60 World Cup medals, plus 10 more at the world championships

and three in the Olympics, making him one of the most decorated pilots in the world. And when he teamed with Steven Langton to win Olympic bronze in two-man at Sochi in 2014, he snapped another 62-year U.S. drought in that event – just as he had four years earlier in the four-man Olympic race.

“If anyone else has a 62-year medal drought you need to break, let me know, I’ll help you,” Holcomb said at the time.

His winter-sports career started as a skier when he was 6, and he started as a push athlete in bobsled in 1998. He was an alternate on the 2002 Olympic team, and has been the driver of USA1 – the honor bestowed to America’s best pilot – for more than a decade.

His death quickly resonated through the Olympic community.

“Incredibly sad to hear about the passing of @StevenHolcomb,” U.S. women’s soccer star Carli Lloyd tweeted. “Deepest sympathies go out to his loved ones.”

AAUP may soon end censure of U of I The ASSOCIATED PRESS

URBANA – An academic censure of the University of Illinois over a professor who lost his job offer after a series of anti-Israel tweets could end next month, officials with the American Association of University Professors say.

Delegates to the national AAUP meeting in June are scheduled to take up the Steven Salaita case again after voting last year to leave the 2015 censure in place, The Champaign News-Gazette reported Saturday.

Salaita was offered a job starting in fall 2014, but the university rescinded it over his tweets objecting to Israeli action against Palestinians.

Former Congressman Schock asks court to drop 1 charge

PEORIA – Attorneys for former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock have asked a judge to drop a charge against him, saying it’s too broad.

Schock’s attorneys in a motion filed Friday said a charge alleging theft of government funds contains too many allegations, makes it too difficult to prepare for trial, and is therefore improper.

They say prosecutors have bundled “five years’ worth of alleged thefts into a single count.”

The Peoria Journal Star reported U.S. District Judge Colin Bruce gave prosecutors until May 29 to respond to the motion. Schock’s trial is set to begin July 10.

Schock’s indictment last year alleges he sought reimbursement in government funds for lavish spending. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also include wire fraud and falsification of election commission filings.

ISU pursues college for foster youths

NORMAL – Illinois State University is creating a program to help high schoolers in foster care prepare for college.

“I don’t anticipate that there will be any problems. I think the visit went smoothly, and we hope that Committee A will recommend [the university] for the removal of censure.”

Anita Levy

senior program officer for the AAUP’s Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure and Governance Wesleyan University philosophy professor Mark Criley, visited the university on April 28 to talk with faculty senate leaders, administrators and representatives of the local association chapter to prepare a report for the group’s Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure. The committee is scheduled to

meet in early June to make a recommendation to the group’s full assembly, which meets June 17 in Washington, D.C. “I don’t anticipate that there will be any problems,” said Anita Levy, senior program officer for the association’s Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure

second one in Illinois, will be funded by $250,000 in grants from the Department of Children and Family Services and a private donor, the Pantagraph reported.

The program will include academic enrichment classes on Saturdays, yearround mentoring and caregiver workshops. Thirty students will also participate in a four-week summer program on campus in June.

“Success is about understanding what students need and providing the resources that can help them succeed,” said Doris Houston, director of the child welfare and adoption studies center in the university’s social work school.

University officials say less than 3 percent of children raised through the foster care system earn a bachelor’s degree.

First Star Academy program director Deneca Avant said people in foster care too often don’t have the support, encouragement and stability they need to finish high school, let alone attend college.

“No one’s told them, ‘Yes, that’s an option for you,’” she said. “They need someone to say, ‘You can do it. Let’s get you on the right path.’ ” Avant said applications for the program have been distributed to schools, foster homes and agencies that work with foster children.

She said the Saturday programs will include lessons on life skills and college preparation, including conflict resolution, financial literacy, study skills and career planning. The summer program will focus more on academics to simulate college life.

“We’re excited,” Avant said. “We’re

geared up. We’ll definitely make a difference in the lives of these youths and help transform them.”

Pekin school recovers from computer cyberattack

PEKIN – A central Illinois high school is recovering from a cyberattack on its computers last month, and officials say they’re trying to determine how to prevent future attacks.

The Pekin Daily Times reported that when officials at Pekin Community High School turned on their computers on April 24, they were unable to access files and student information. A hacker got into the school’s servers using a teacher’s email and attempted to extort $37,000 from district officials.

Superintendent Danielle Owens said the school is still rebuilding servers, but is mostly up and running.

No information was stolen in the attack.

Pekin police did not have further details.

Officials pledge coordinated lead cleanup in E. Chicago

EAST CHICAGO, Ind. – Federal and Indiana state officials are renewing pledges to coordinate cleanup of a lead-contaminated site in a northwest Indiana community.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Indiana officials released a statement Friday saying they’d continue efforts to remediate the Superfund site in East Chicago and ensure safe drinking water.

and Governance. “I think the visit went smoothly, and we hope that Committee A will recommend [the university] for the removal of censure.”

Levy spoke after receiving Criley’s report. She declined to discuss it until the committee members had a chance to review it.

University of Illinois emeritus professor Harry Hilton, a faculty representative to the association who had argued against removing the censure last summer, also said he will recommend it be lifted.

The university reached a legal settlement with Salaita last December. That was a key step in getting the censure lifted, and the association said most other conditions were met last year.

The statement comes weeks after EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s visit to East Chicago.

City officials began evacuating residents of a public housing complex last year because of high levels of lead and arsenic.

The complex was built on a site previously occupied by a lead-products factory.

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill last month pushing state agencies to continue addressing the high lead levels in the soil. It includes requiring Indiana’s housing authority to work with federal officials on resident relocation.

French cybersecurity agency to probe Macron hacking attack

By PHILIPPE SOTTO, JOHN LEICESTER and RAPHAEL SATTER The Associated Press

PARIS – France’s election campaign commission said Saturday that “a significant amount of data” – and some fake information – has been leaked on social networks following a hacking attack on centrist Emmanuel Macron’s presidential campaign. It urged citizens not to relay the data on social media to protect the integrity of the French vote.

France’s government cybersecurity agency will investigate the attack, according to a government official who said it appeared to be a “very serious” breach.

The leak came 36 hours before the nation votes Sunday in a crucial presidential runoff between Macron and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen – and just as a two-day blackout on campaigning began so that voters could reflect on their choice.

Voting started Saturday in France’s overseas territories and in some embassies abroad.

The leaked documents appear largely mundane, and the perpetrators remain unknown.

It’s unclear whether the document dump will dent Macron’s large polling lead over Le Pen going into the vote.

The election commission met Saturday after the leaks emerged just before midnight Friday. The commission said the leaked data apparently came from Macron’s “information systems and mail accounts from some of his campaign managers.” It said the leaked data

had been “fraudulently” obtained and that fake news was probably mingled in with it.

The commission urged French media and citizens not to relay the leaked documents.

French electoral laws impose a news blackout Saturday and most of Sunday on any campaigning and media coverage seen as swaying the election.

The Macron team asked the campaign oversight commission Saturday to bring in cybersecurity agency ANSSI to study the hack, according to a government official who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the details publicly.

ANSSI can only be called in for cases where the cyberattack is “massive and sophisticated” – and the Macron hack appears to fit the bill, the official said.

Someone on 4chan – a site known, among other things, for cruel hoaxes and political extremism – posted links to a large set of data Friday night.

Macron’s team quickly confirmed that it had been hit by a “massive and coordinated” hack some weeks ago, in which unidentified hackers accessed staffers’ personal and professional emails and leaked campaign finance material and contracts – as well as fake documents – online.

In a cursory look at the leaked documents, they appear to be day-to-day communications, with a few items so out of character that they might be fakes. Other documents, which seem to date back several years, don’t appear related to the campaign at all.

#BringBackOurGirls campaign parents again. It is feared that other girls were strapped with explosives and sent on missions as suicide bombers.

As word of the latest release emerged, long-suffering family members said they were eagerly awaiting a list of names and “our hopes and expectations are high.”

Before Saturday’s release, 195 of the girls had remained captive. Now 113 of the girls remain unaccounted for.

The freed girls were expected to meet with Buhari on Sunday in the capital, Abuja.

A Nigerian military official with direct knowledge of the rescue operation said the freed girls were found near the town of Banki in Borno state near Cameroon.

“The location of the girls kept changing since yesterday when the operation

to rescue them commenced,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make the announcement.

Boko Haram remains active in that area. On Friday, the United States and Britain issued warnings that the extremist group was actively planning to kidnap foreigners in an area of Borno state “along the Kumshe-Banki axis.”

The 276 schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok in 2014 are among thousands of people abducted by Boko Haram over the years.

The mass abduction shocked the world, sparking a global #Bringbackourgirls campaign supported by former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and other celebrities. It has put tremendous pressure on Nigeria’s government to counter the extremist group, which

has roamed large parts of the north and into neighboring countries.

“This is a very, very exciting news for us that we have over 80 of our girls coming back again,” Bukky Shonibare with the #BringBackOurGirls campaign told Sky TV. “Their life in captivity has been one that depicts suffering, it depicts the fact that they have been starved, abused, and as we have seen before some of those girls have come back with children, and some of them have also come back with news of how they have been sexually abused.”

The latest negotiations were again mediated by the Swiss government and the International Committee of the Red Cross, Nigeria’s government said.

At the initial release of girls in October, the government said the release of 83 more would be coming soon. But at the three-year anniversary of the kidnapping in April, the government said negotiations had “gone quite far” but faced challenges.

Buhari late last year announced Boko Haram had been “crushed,” but the group continues to carry out attacks in northern Nigeria and neighboring countries. Its insurgency has killed more than 20,000 people and driven 2.6 million from their homes, with millions facing starvation.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Eighty-two Chibok schoolgirls seized three years ago by Boko Haram have been freed in exchange for detained suspects with the extremist group, Nigeria’s government announced early Sunday, in the largest release negotiated yet in the battle to save nearly 300 girls whose mass abduction exposed the mounting threat posed by the Islamic Statelinked fighters.

The statement from the office of President Muhammadu Buhari was the first confirmation that his government had made a swap for the girls. After an initial release of 21 Chibok girls in October, the government denied making an exchange or paying ransom.

The April 2014 abduction by Boko Haram brought the extremist group’s rampage in northern Nigeria to world attention and, for families of the schoolgirls, began years marked with heartbreak.

Some relatives did not live long enough to see their daughters released.

Many of the captive girls, most of them Christians, were forced to marry their captors and give birth to children in remote forest hideouts without ever knowing whether they would see their

“Their life in captivity has been one that depicts suffering, it depicts the fact that they have been starved, abused, and as we have seen before some of those girls have come back with children, and some of them have also come back with news of how they have been sexually abused.”

Dems see a winning issue in opposing GOP health bill

By BILL BARROW and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

ATLANTA – It’s “Trumpcare” now, and Republicans have to answer for it.

After dozens of symbolic votes, House Republicans finally pushed through a bill to gut Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, with President Donald Trump hailing the replacement as “a great plan” that has “really brought the Republican Party together.”

Democrats are giddy about what could be severe political consequences for the GOP. Even though the Senate still has to act, Republicans now largely own a measure that would curtail, and in some cases take away completely, benefits Americans have embraced after seven years. Chief among them: a guarantee of paying the same amount for coverage regardless of health history. Budget analysts estimate 24 million people would lose insurance over a decade, 14 million in the first year, and older Americans would face higher costs.

The Senate, meanwhile, will write its own health care bill, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in Louisville while attending the Kentucky Derby.

No timetable will be announced, Mc-

BRIEF Loretta Lynn remains hospitalized in Nashville after stroke

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country music legend Loretta Lynn remains hospitalized after having a stroke, a publicist said Saturday.

Sony Music publicist Maria Malta said nothing has changed from information posted on Lynn’s website.

The website says the 85-year-old singer and songwriter was admitted to a Nashville hospital Thursday night after suffering the stroke at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Malta confirmed that Lynn is still in the hospital.

Lynn’s website says she is responsive and expected to make a full recovery.

It says Lynn has been advised by doctors to stay off the road while she recuperates, and upcoming scheduled shows will be postponed.

Lynn’s sister, the Grammy-winning singer Crystal Gayle, said in a statement emailed by her publicist, “Many of you have heard that my sister, Loretta Lynn, had a stroke.

She’s a strong woman and I know she’ll come out of this. Our family appreciates your prayers, love and support. We pray for a speedy recovery.”

She is set to release a new album this August, called “Wouldn’t It Be Great.”

Connell said, and he added: “We don’t anticipate any Democratic help at all, so it will be a simple majority vote situation.”

In the House, 217 Republicans voted yes.

“Progressives are going to hang this around the necks of every one of those Republicans,” said Angel Padilla, co-founder of the liberal group Indivisible. “These Republicans voted to take away peoples’ health care. This is going to come back to bite them.”

Democrats are convinced the GOP repeal bill jeopardizes the Republican monopoly in Washington, starting with majority control of the House, and the party’s advantages in statehouses from Nevada to New Hampshire.

The potential fallout crystallized almost immediately.

Fundraising surged nationwide as new recruits stepped up to challenge vulnerable Republicans who backed the plan. Among the vulnerable: twoterm Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., who helped revive the bill by authoring a key amendment on pre-existing conditions.

“We have an opportunity to take down the person who was the author of Trumpcare 2.0,” said Democrat An-

drew Kim, an Obama White House national security adviser, who said he’s now more likely to challenge MacArthur next year. Kim raised more than $43,000 online over the last week for a possible run.

“He owns every part of this,” Kim said of MacArthur.

Democrats need to flip 24 seats between now and the 2018 elections to take control of the House. Of the 217 Republicans who backed the bill, 14 come from districts carried by Democrat Hillary Clinton last fall, and 24 serve in districts where Trump did not win more than 50 percent of the vote.

Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who is not seeking re-election next year, warned that the bill “has the potential to severely harm the health and lives of people in south Florida.”

Her open seat in Miami is considered a prime pick-up opportunity for Democrats.

Next month, Democrats and Republicans face a showdown over a House seat in the Atlanta suburbs. Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff, who is trying to score a special election upset in a traditionally conservative House district, said he strongly opposes “discrimination” over pre-existing conditions in

response to the vote.

Outside groups prepared to launch an advertising campaign in the coming days to punish vulnerable Republicans in key states. The TV and online blitz is expected to seize on the more unpopular provisions in the GOP plan, which was opposed by the AARP, the American Medical Association, which represents doctors, and the American Hospital Association.

The AARP warned that the GOP plan institutes an “age tax” and jeopardizes coverage for 25 million older Americans with pre-existing conditions. The bill would also roll back subsidies for individual insurance premiums, end federal payments for states to expand Medicaid for the poor and disabled, and cut more than $700 billion in taxes over 10 years.

Act Blue, a clearinghouse political action committee that raises money for Democratic campaigns, has already helped raise more than $2 million to fuel challenges against House Republicans who backed the GOP plan.

Democrats also targeted Republican governors in Democratic-leaning states, including Maryland’s Larry Hogan, who did not take a public position before the House vote.

Experts: Convicting ex-cop in teen’s death will be tough

By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press

HOUSTON – Authorities who’ve charged a white suburban Dallas police officer with murder in a black teenager’s death face a tough task in getting a conviction as few of these cases go to trial and, when they do, juries remain reluctant to second-guess an officer’s decision to use Roy Oliver deadly force, legal experts said Saturday.

Roy Oliver is free on bond after being charged Friday in the death of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards. Investigators say Oliver shot into Jordan a car of teenagers leav- Edwards ing an unruly party on April 29, killing Edwards. Oliver was fired by the Balch Springs Police Department three days after the shooting.

Philip Stinson, a criminal justice professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, said data he’s collected since 2005 on police shootings show officers rarely are charged in deadly shootings. It’s even rarer for an officer to be convicted, according to the data.

From his research, Stinson es-

timates that fatal shootings by U.S. police officers who are on duty occur about 1,000 times a year. But since 2005, only 81 officers have been charged with murder or manslaughter resulting from an on-duty shooting, he said. Of these 81 cases, there have been 30 convictions, 31 cases with no conviction and 20 that are still pending.

In recent years, many police shootings have been captured on video taken by officers’ body cameras or witnesses’ cellphones. But Stinson said such evidence still doesn’t guarantee a conviction.

He points to the 2015 shooting in South Carolina of black motorist Walter Scott by officer Michael Slager. A cellphone video captured Slager shooting Scott five times in the back as the unarmed 50-year-old man ran away during a traffic stop. In December a mistrial was declared in Slager’s murder trial after a jury couldn’t reach a verdict. Slager pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a federal charge of violating Scott’s civil rights.

“I’m not willing to say it’s jury nullification where the jury is just not going to convict in any scenario,” Stinson said. “But we are getting close to that, to the extent that even in what seem to be the strongest cases for a prosecutor, such as the Slager case, a jury is just very reluctant to convict the officer.”

Attorneys for Oliver didn’t immediately return calls or emails seeking comment on Saturday.

Oliver’s mother, Linda, has told KXAS-TV that her son is “a man of strong character.”

Edwards’ family issued a statement late Friday saying Oliver’s arrest on the murder charge “brings hope that the justice system will bend against the overwhelming weight of our frustration.”

Balch Springs police had originally said the vehicle Edwards was a passenger in was reversing “in an aggressive manner” toward officers, who had responded to a complaint about underage drinking.

But Police Chief Jonathan Haber later said video taken at the scene proved the vehicle was actually driving away. Oliver opened fire on the teenagers’ car with a rifle. The bullets shattered the front passenger-side window and fatally struck Edwards.

The warrant issued on Friday for Oliver’s arrest was based on evidence that suggested Oliver “intended to cause serious bodily injury and commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused the death,” said the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the shooting along with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.

OUR VIEW

Lower property tax burden here After 120 years of continuous growth, McHenry County’s population has hit a rut. Population has declined slightly amid national migration trends that show people moving to the West and South.

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

Those numbers are sobering in the face of the county’s past growth. The heady growth of the past two decades has evaporated. And the contrasts are stark: In the mid-1990s, Crystal Lakearea schools had to use split-shift scheduling in a bid to avoid overcrowding hallways and classrooms. More recently, Community High School District 155 has raised the possibility of closing a school as enrollment declines.

Job growth, a key demographic driver, also isn’t what it used to be at the county and state level. The state’s job growth since the Great Recession has paled in comparison to neighboring states. Studies commissioned for McHenry County show that about two-thirds of working residents commute to other counties for work.

One certain reason for the problems in Illinois and McHenry County is property taxes. It’s high time for our elected officials at the state and local levels to change the way they think about taxing and spending. McHenry County has many attractive qualities, but it’s not getting any more temperate, sunny or scenic. Without ocean views or warmer weather, McHenry County’s property tax burden becomes that much more unbearable.

And as more residents leave, a smaller pool of taxpayers is left to pick up the ever-growing property tax bill.

School boards and other taxing bodies need to live within their means while state lawmakers must tackle Illinois’ unbalanced education funding formula.

On the reverse side of the exodus trend, property taxes here have grown so large that they also are keeping some people from packing up and moving out because they’re concerned about how the taxes impact selling their homes.

Our leaders at the state and local levels also need to do more to attract jobs to Illinois and McHenry County. This almost certainly will involve fighting to make sure the county and local municipalities get a fair share of state and federal dollars for infrastructure improvements.

McHenry County can be a great place to live, but it’s going to be a struggle without significant reforms at nearly every level of government.

ANOTHER VIEW

Planned Parenthood falsehoods Behind closed doors, without even a celebratory Tweet, Donald Trump two weeks ago signed a law that reversed an Obama administration order banning states from defunding Planned Parenthood. “Taxpayers should not be forced to fund abortion, plain and simple,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said.

As falsehoods go, that one is a hardy perennial. Here are the facts. Like other health providers, Planned Parenthood clinics provide cancer screenings, birth control, testing for and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, then apply for reimbursement, most often through Medicaid or Title X, the 47-year-old law that funds family planning and other health services for millions of low-income women.

Notice what’s missing: abortion. Federal funding hasn’t gone to pay for abortions for decades.

Recently, Republicans have trotted out a newer falsehood: Women can easily get the Title X services they now get from Planned Parenthood from community health centers. That’s the apparent justification for a bill that passed the Pennsylvania

Senate Finance Committee last week. At least we think that’s what its sponsor, John Eichelberger, R-Blair, was trying to say – if even he knew, since at one point he admitted he didn’t know what services Planned Parenthood provides.

The bill, SB300, doesn’t name Planned Parenthood, but the organization clearly is the legislation’s target. It establishes a hierarchy of health services organizations for the disbursal of funds that favors “primary care” hospitals and health centers. Organizations that specialize in women’s health services (that is, Planned Parenthood) are not on the list. It also says family planning funds may not go to organizations that also perform abortions. So because Planned Parenthood specializes in women’s health services, it shouldn’t be allowed to provide women’s health services. So women should not be able to get family planning services at Planned Parenthood clinics because they can’t also get treatment there for allergies or diabetes. This is as nonsensical as it sounds.

It’s because Planned Parenthood specializes in women’s

health that removing it as an option for these services would seriously endanger access for low-income women. Planned Parenthood is an integral part of the Commonwealth’s women’s health services network, serving 90,000 clients a year. That’s a potential increase of tens of thousands of more clients at primary care centers, which would almost certainly impact the number of patients they could see for other reasons.

Cut several strings in the health care safety net and eventually it will give way.

The Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health organization, has estimated that family planning centers in Pennsylvania prevented 52,800 unplanned pregnancies in 2014, which likely would have led to 19,000 more abortions. So reducing access to family planning services has real consequences, as states like Texas and Kansas already have learned.

When Texas slashed its family planning budget, it saw not only an increase in abortions but in maternal mortality rates.

Unless we act, it could happen here, too.

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.

One reason I voted for the AHCA

By CATHY MCMORRIS RODGERS Special to the Washington Post

Hearing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s emotional monologue this week about his son’s condition and his family’s experience in the moments after his birth, I had a flashback to the day my son was born and we learned he had Down syndrome.

My husband and I had a lot of questions about Cole’s future.Whether he’d have health care shouldn’t have had to be one of them. When you’re facing years of doctor’s appointments, you want to know that having a preexisting condition,such as an extra 21st chromosome or a heart defect, won’t prevent you or your loved ones from accessing the care you need.

Protections for children such as Cole Rodgers and Billy Kimmel have long existed, as they should. And despite what people are saying, House Republicans aren’t seeking to strip these protections – or anyone’s protections – away.

It’s the people we love – our children, friends and neighbors – who are the inspiration behind our American Health Care Act, which we passed in the House on Thursday.

We’re working hard to build a health-care system that puts the American people back at the center of their health decisions. We’ve had conversations - tough conversations – with

people from all walks of life, and we’ve passed a bill that we’re confident will improve lives.

When Obamacare was introduced, Republicans and Democrats knew the status quo wasn’t working. But Republicans rejected the notion that to help 2 million people with preexisting conditions get access to care, we needed a 2,000-page bill that transformed onesixth of the economy.

At each point of our process to repeal Obamacare, we have not lost sight of our responsibility to the most vulnerable in our communities. Safety nets and protections are important and must be maintained for those who need them most. Our plan accomplishes this mission in two key ways: by guaranteeing that access to health coverage can’t be denied for people with preexisting conditions, and by empowering states to innovate with new models for better patient outcomes at a lower cost.

This bill isn’t perfect. It doesn’t include every single component I wanted. But it came down to the AHCA or the continued disaster of Obamacare, which was an easy choice. The AHCA is a major improvement, because a federal one-size-fits-all approach to health care isn’t the answer. A major feature of our plan is returning control to states, through both funding and reducing red tape, which empowers them to innovate and to stabilize costs.

With Obamacare, our health-insurance system relies on younger, healthier people subsidizing the costs of the older and sicker. As a result, insurance costs consistently increase to cover the costs of people who are considered “high-risk,” namely those who are sick or who have preexisting conditions. High-risk pools and reinsurance programs at the state level address this concern and have been successful in the past. Our plan establishes a program to provide federal resources for states to create high-risk pools, reduce out-ofpocket costs or promote better access to services.

States know better than the federal government how to allocate and manage resources to address the needs of their people.

Our plan allows states to serve and provide financial support directly to vulnerable populations, including people with preexisting conditions. We’ve seen this system work before - just look at Maine. After the state created an “invisible” high-risk pool (“invisible” because it did not cordon off people with preexisting conditions from the traditional market) and relaxed its premium rating rules in 2011, people with preexisting conditions continued to have access to health care and their premiums were cut in half. Young and healthy people could finally afford to enter the market, and prices stabilized

even further. This approach was more personal, reasonable and innovative than anything a bureaucrat in Washington, D.C., could have imagined.

To me, protecting people with preexisting conditions isn’t just good policy – it’s a personal mission.

All across the country, families like mine have real concerns about the future of health care, and they are why we’re focusing on results and working on these reforms. Obamacare is wrong for America. It has failed, and it’s only getting worse – making health care more expensive and less accessible. To stand by and do nothing would be irresponsible. The AHCA is a monumental step forward that trusts the American people – not the federal government - to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

Our effort to create a better healthcare future for all Americans isn’t finished. Whether it’s allowing insurance to be purchased across state lines or implementing other insurance reforms, we will continue our work until every American has access to good-quality, affordable health care and our most vulnerable communities have peace of mind.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Restore Glass-Steagall

To the Editor: On Monday, May 1st, both the Bloomberg Press and Executive Intelligence Review authored articles that showed an immediate need to restore Glass-Steagall. The Bloomberg article stated that President Trump was “actively considering” restoring Glass-Steagall, something which he campaigned on, and that the Republican platformed called for. The Executive Intelligence Review article shows that the corporate debt bubble has added 7 trillion dollars since 2010, the too big to fail banks are larger than in 2007, and the holders of the debt are shedding it as fast as they can find suckers. The EIR magazine in March 2007 forecast the financial collapse 18 months before it occurred. We’ve been through this before, because of Congress’s cowardice. Glass-Steagall would separate commercial banks from investment banks. The deposits in commercial banks would be insured, any speculative loss by an investment

bank would not. Very simple. Contact Trump, Durbin, Duckworth and Hultgren. Tell them now’s the time to support bills that have been introduced in both the House and Senate.

Township reform on horizon

To the Editor: Township Officials of Illinois (TOI), a wealthy Springfield township lobby organization, not a neighbor you would want next door as you are an Illinois property owner, paying the highest property taxes in the nation.

The TOI mission/objective? To protect the continuation of Illinois’ 1800s township form of government by tracking bills that deal with anti-township legislation.

TOI has many friends, both current and former township officials, in the General Assembly. TOI was successful in defeating every bill last year that they opposed, more than two dozen.

Words by Timothy S. Bramlet, TOI Legislative Consultant, from his Legislative Report: “We need, once again, as we did last year and before that, to be on guard to engage our legislators and ask for their help in beating back anti-township efforts. We wind up placing our focus on those bills that do the most damage and have the most likelihood of advancement, and we zero in on them.” Sad. Now for the good news.

townships. There are 11 bills that just do that, in one form or another. There are another 11 bills that impact township highway departments.

It’s time for citizens to stand up, and push back, to the self-serving forced of TOI, and depart from the unsustainable status quo cost of supporting Illinois’ 1,432 township governments, and ask members of the General Assembly to set forth a path for elimination or consolidation of townships.

If you are a small business owner, you may want to consider a very popular small business company retirement plan called a “SIMPLE IRA.” There is a reason why it is called “simple.” It’s about as easy to open as an IRA, with larger contribution limits, and opening this plan will not prohibit you from buying a personal IRA. If you have 100 employees or fewer, you can set this plan up.

Employees, including the employer, are allowed to contribute up to $12,500 a year, all tax-deductible. For those age 50 or older, there’s a $3,000 catch-up provision, allowing you to put in up to $15,500 a year.

Here’s why small business owners love this plan.

1. You’re allowed to put “all” of the first $15,500 of your salary ($12,500 for those younger than 50) into this plan, as long as you pay the FICA tax. In other words, if the owner’s spouse, or any other parttime employee, earns approximately $17,000 a year, they actually can put $15,500 of it into this plan, and receive a $15,500 tax deduction. The rest would be to cover FICA tax.

2. If the employee doesn’t contribute to the plan, there’s no “requirement” for the employer to put any money in on behalf of that employee.

If the employee does contribute, then the employer is required to match up to the first 3 percent of that employee’s annual compensation. This means the small business owner is only required to reward employees willing to save money for themselves.

FINANCE Mike Piershale 3. A small business owner who has a spouse and who works in the business, even part-time, can make a “combined” contribution of up to $31,000 a year, all tax deductible ($15,500 each) if they are both age 50 or older. Plus, the employer can do another 3 percent match of both spouses’ salaries into the plan and deduct it, since it’s considered a business expense for the owner.

4. This plan is free from the much more complicated ERISA reporting required with plans of larger companies. There is no requirement to file a complicated 5500 tax form, no non-discrimination rules limiting the contributions of the owner or better-paid employees, and very minimal overall paperwork (am I dreaming?).

The business owner may establish this plan on any date between Jan. 1 and Oct. 1 to contribute for that year.

Remember, sometimes the “simple” ideas are the most effective.

Don’t go crowdfunding route for real estate Dear Dave: I’d like to get involved in real estate investing, but I don’t have a lot of cash at present. What do you think of the idea of crowdfunding as a way to invest in real estate? –

Adam Dear Adam: I’ve got a bunch of real

estate, and I love it. But I wouldn’t go the crowdfunding route as a way to get started in real estate investing. I wouldn’t give someone money to buy real estate in a crowdfunding scenario, either.

The late Beverly Sills had a great saying: “There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going.” Investing in real estate is wonderful when you do it

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey right. Get out of debt first, pay cash, and find great bargains. When you get in a hurry, and do dumb stuff like go into debt or get mixed up with partnerships in the process, real estate’s a horrible investment.

I admire your ambition, Adam. But I would advise you to follow my lead on this one. You’ll be glad you did!

life insurance? – Anonymous Dear Anonymous: It’s pretty easy to get term life insurance – the only kind of life insurance I recommend – up until around age 70. Depending on your overall health situation, there are a few affordable policies available past that point. But once you get into your seventies and beyond it can be difficult to find reasonably priced coverage.

I recommend that most people have 10 to 12 times their annual income wrapped up in a good, level term life insurance policy. But honestly, you shouldn’t need life insurance at 70 or older. If you’ve been wise with your

money, and saved and invested, you should be self-insured by that point.

This means having plenty of cash in the bank to cover burial expenses and enough for a spouse to live on after you’re gone.

Making Strategic Connections Since 1991

Making Strategic Connections

CRYSTAL LAKE – Longtime Johnsburg resident John Rung has been tapped to take the reins of Sterling-based Shaw Media, publisher of close to 100 print and digital publications in Illinois and Iowa.

The Shaw Media Board of Directors named Rung CEO of the company Thursday at the company’s annual meeting. He is the first non-family member to hold that role at the third oldest continuously owned and operated family newspaper company in the nation. The company now known as Shaw Media was founded in 1851 by Benjamin Flower Shaw.

Rung, 54, had been president of Shaw Media since 2013. Before that, he had served as the company’s chief operating officer. Rung has been with the company 20 years and has served in a variety of management roles, including as publisher of the Northwest Herald. Rung replaces Thomas D. “Tom” Shaw, who announced last month that he would be retiring in May. Shaw will remain on the company’s board.

“The difference between being the CEO and what I’ve been doing the past few years is a much higher level of communication with the Board of Directors, the Trust and with the Shaw family,” Rung said in an interview in his office at the Northwest Herald. “I will also be more responsible for acquisitions, investments and diversification.”

The change won’t affect readers of the company’s print and digital publications, although Rung said he planned to invest more in the company’s newsgathering efforts.

“I’ve been in charge of operations for several years now and this transition has been in process for the last three years,” Rung said. “Vice President J. Tom Shaw oversees our suburban operations, and Jim Ringness is the general manager of the Northwest Herald. As Tom has been transferring his responsibilities to me, I have been delegating more authority to J. Tom and Jim. This has been a well-thoughtout transition, and I credit Tom Shaw for that foresight.”

Tom Shaw said Rung is the right person to lead the growing company.

“John Rung is a smart, hardworking, person who enjoys a strong moral compass,” Tom Shaw said in a statement. “Those traits, along with his exceptional industry knowledge and experience, as well as his record of success within Shaw Media makes him someone that our Board of Directors, the Shaw Family Owners, and most importantly, the employees of Shaw Me-

Johnsburg resident John Rung has been named CEO of Shaw Media.

Shaw Media’s new CEO Name: John Rung Age: 54 Family: Wife, Rachel (married 22 years), children, Savanna (18, going to U of I next fall), Emma (12), Jack (8) Town: Johnsburg Hobbies: “I started doing triathlons about 7 years ago. I used to do about 15 per season, now I do about three or four. I like to watch football, especially the Bears.”

Avid reader, mostly history.

Most memorable sporting experience: “The Bears’ 1985 season was a lot of fun, but nothing was better than last year’s Cubs. It still feels like it happened in a dream.” dia can trust to lead the company.”

Rung said he has learned some key business skills from Tom Shaw over the years.

“First off, I can say with complete sincerity that Tom is the most decent and thoughtful person I have ever known,” Rung said. “As a younger man, I was extremely aggressive and did not hesitate to take action. I’ve learned from Tom that patience and consideration are extremely valuable traits.

“I think about the recent situa-

tion with United Airlines. If the CEO of United had a more basic initial response – something along the lines of, ‘We are concerned and we are investigating’ – he would have given the company some time to better understand the public’s outcry over the situation,” Rung said. “His knee-jerk, defensive reaction wound up having very negative consequences for his company.

A few years ago, that’s probably what I would have done. Because of Tom’s mentorship, I think I’m in a better position for a more appropriate response to a crisis.”

Shaw Media has about 550 employees at newspapers, magazines and other publications in northern Illinois and Iowa. Its daily newspaper holdings include the Joliet Herald-News, the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake, and the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb.

Like print and digital media companies around the globe, Shaw Media faces challenges as the power of traditional media outlets continues to evolve in the digital era.

“As you can imagine, we spend a great deal of time discussing that topic,” Rung said. “We have a plan that we call ‘Four Corners.’ We see our print and digital newspaper products becoming increasingly focused on local issues.

“We are aggressively pursuing strategic acquisitions, and we are launch-

ing new product lines that mesh well with our community newspapers. A perfect example of that would be Pro Football Weekly, a product that has seen revenue and audience increase for three consecutive years.”

Rung, who lives in Johnsburg with his wife, Rachel, and three children, said the printed newspaper won’t disappear anytime soon.

“I don’t see the printed newspaper dying, but it will continue to evolve,” he said. “Newspapers have to be more focused and we have to provide more depth on important issues. We might not be first with a story, but we can be best. That is a difficult objective when you consider how classified ads have migrated away from newspapers, combined with the struggles retailers are facing. We have to become more valuable to our readers at the same time our ad revenue is decreasing. That is not an easy task, but it’s exciting, and it’s what I’ve signed on for, so bring it on.”

Outside of the office, Rung is an amateur triathlete who competes in three or four triathlons a season, down from about 15 a season at his peak. He’s an avid sports fan – particularly football and the Chicago Bears. He also enjoys reading (mostly history) and music (from the late 1970s to 1990s, including the Offspring, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Cheap Trick, Pearl Jam and others).

Mom’s grip on apron strings has girlfriend at loose ends Dear Abby: I’m starting to worry about my boyfriend’s relationship with his mother. He’s deploying at the end of the month. We have been friends for a long time and dating for a year. He’s 31 and lives with his parents. We just had gotten a place together prior to finding out about his deployment.

The problem is, his mother comes over constantly, and she waits on him hand and foot. She tags along to his sporting events and cheers him on as if he’s a 6-year-old. If he’s hungry, she rushes to fix his food and brings him lunch while he’s working. She makes all of his doctors’ appointments for him and is on his bank account. She also texts me to find out where he is if he has been out of touch for a few hours.

She has taken a lot of time off work to spend with him. I hardly see him alone anymore because he’s constantly with

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her. At the beginning of his deployment, he will be in Texas for a month. During that time he will get a week off. He told his mom the dates of his time off prior to telling me, and she booked a flight for the entire time! This means I will have no alone time with him or time to say a private goodbye.

I love him very much, but this whole mom thing has got me second-guessing everything. Abby, is this normal? – Com-

ing In Second Dear Coming In Second: No, it’s not

normal. It appears when your fiancé was born, the umbilical cord, instead of being severed, remained securely in place.

I hope you realize if you should marry him at some point, you will be getting a husband who never learned independence, and you will be expected to take up exactly where his mother left off.

Your problem is not you are “coming in second,” honey, it’s he appears to be already married – to Mom! Dear Abby: I have lived with my girlfriend for three years now. She works; I’m retired. She’s 52; I’m 62. We get along well. My problem is, she insists on having her 10-year-old grandson stay over every other weekend and holidays. It is a 70-mile round trip to pick him up. This means half our weekends are consumed with babysitting him.

He’s a good kid; I just feel 26 weekends out of the year is extreme. Her ex – the grandfather – gets the boy for a more reasonable amount of the time – maybe six times a year. Your thoughts? – Miffed

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

In The Midwest Dear Miffed: I am going to assume you

already have discussed this with your girlfriend and she knows you are unhappy with the arrangement.

She may want to see as much of her grandson as she can because she knows in another few years he won’t be as available to her as he has been. (How many teenage boys really want to spend weekends and holidays with their grandmother instead of with their friends?)

While I don’t blame you for wanting more child-free weekends and holidays, if she isn’t willing to compromise, perhaps it’s time to rethink your living arrangement so you can plan adult activities on your own.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Explore what’s available to you, and be open to learning something new. Melding what you already do and know with bold new concepts will put you in a good position to conquer whatever you want to pursue. Make this a year to remember and build upon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You have the fortitude and insight to make things happen.

Taking short trips or sharing with someone who can shed some light on your situation will pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Socialize, and enjoy friends, children and loved ones. A passionate

encounter will improve your personal life, giving you a strong base on which you can build a brighter future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Too much of anything will lead to disaster. Limit how much you spend, eat or drink. Excess won’t reduce your troubles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let guilt set in and ruin a good time. Make the most of your day by surrounding yourself with the people you love and doing what you enjoy doing most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You can have fun on a shoestring with someone you love. Taking a hike or just relaxing at home will give you time to discuss your plans and a new budget.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll tend to overre-

act or be excessive when dealing with personal partners and domestic issues or spending money. Curb your emotions before trouble sets in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An idea you have or that someone suggests may be interesting, but check out the cost involved before you advance.

You’ll tend to overspend, indulge and overdo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Share your ideas with someone who will have something interesting to add. Collaboration will result in a long-term plan and a welcome partnership.

Celebrate with someone you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Travel may entice you, but if you cannot afford a fancy trip, settle for something entertaining and within your budget. You can’t buy love, so

don’t spend to impress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Getting together with old friends or colleagues will be enlightening. The opportunities that transpire will have an impact on what you do or how much you earn in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Err on the side of caution when dealing with someone who is unpredictable, excessive or overly emotional.

Let the dust settle before you take on a personal challenge. Time is on your side.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Do something that you find relaxing and conducive to happiness. Making a physical change or spending time with someone you love will help relieve pent-up anxiety and stress.

MARENGO – Huntley suffered a letdown loss to Cary-Grove two days ago, ending a 15-game winning streak and eliminating any chance of a perfect Fox Valley Conference season.

On Saturday, the Red Raiders moved past their first loss in almost a month and were crowned the unofficial champion at the Marengo Softball Tournament.

After defeating Bishop McNamara by four runs in the semifinals, Huntley knocked off defending Class 3A state champion Montini, 11-6, in its final game, scoring five runs in the seventh inning.

Huntley (21-5) was the only team to go undefeated in the eight-team tournament, going 3-0.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the girls,” Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said. “To respond against some of the toughest teams in the state of Illinois ... this was a very fun day, and a good step for us moving forward.”

After Jackie Dorin blasted two home runs in a 9-5 win against Bishop McNamara, shortstop Autumn Kasal provided the heroics for the Raiders against Montini in a back-and-forth game.

The junior took a pitch on the outside corner from Montini pitcher Naomi Alonzo in the seventh inning and drove it just over the right-field fence, scoring Sofia Tenuta and giving Huntley an 8-6 lead.

“She was throwing outside, so I pretty much knew if I saw it there, I should just take it that way,” said Kasal, who went 2 for 4 with two RBIs and a run scored.

“I think we all realized that we had to come back strong. We just didn’t have our game that day (against Cary-Grove), but I think these wins show what kind of team we really are.”

Junior Tiffany Giese started for Huntley against Montini and allowed six runs on nine hits in 41/3 innings, walking five and striking out two.

Sophomore Hali Marte then entered with one out in the fifth and shut down Montini’s offense the rest of the way. She allowed only two hits in 22/3 innings with two strikeouts and no walks.

“When I came in, I felt good because I knew the defense had my back no matter what happened,” said Marte, who relied on her curve and rise ball against Montini. “Coming out against teams like this and winning the whole thing feels really good.”

Giese went 3 for 4 with three runs scored and an RBI, Kendra Mitchell was

Wins for Huntley, its fifth straight season with 20 or more wins

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Marengo’s Anna Walsweer had an RBI single off the leg of the infield umpire. The ball deflected into foul territory in a 13-1, six-inning win against Bartlett in the fifth-place game. The ball was ruled dead after hitting the ump.

3 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs, and Caitlin Brown, Rylie Porretto and Kasal all drove in two. Teagan O’Rilley and Sofia Tenuta each had two hits.

Huntley would have faced Hampshire in the final, but the FVC foes are scheduled to see each other Monday, and the coaches agreed to shuffle the final games.

Hampshire (19-8) finished 2-1 in the tournament, defeating Montini, 6-5, and

losing to Bishop McNamara, 6-2. The Whip-Purs beat Marengo to open the tournament Friday.

Morgan Haefling had a walk-off hit against Montini. Her single scored Peyton DeChant and Sarah Bowen.

“Overall, coming out of this 2-1, that’s awesome,” Hampshire coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “The competition in this tournament is by far the best we have seen all season. Hats off to the girls for that, but it really stinks leaving here with a loss in a game we should have won.”

“For the most part, everybody is really dialed in,” added DeChant. “Coming in and knowing we’re a young team, it’s almost like going in blindsided. Once we beat Marengo, we kind of figured it out.

Even if we are young, we can still hang with these teams.”

After falling to Hampshire on Friday, Marengo defeated Kaneland, 5-3, and Bartlett, 13-1, in six innings to finish in fifth place.

Susie Nawrot had a two-run homer against Bartlett, and Riley Connell (2 for 4), Mariah Dionne (3 for 4), Anna Walsweer (3 for 4) and Rachael Jasinski all drove in two runs.

“We just knew we needed to come back with a better mindset and just turn the page,” said Marengo pitcher Riley Connell, who went 2-0. “We had a tough week, so coming back and beating two good teams really helps to boost our positivity.”

Wins in the past 17 games for Huntley, which is a game behind first-place Crystal Lake South in the Fox Valley Conference race

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Huntley shortstop Jeff Heinrich ripped a pitch down the left-field line in the first inning, knowing it was hooking foul as it went over the fence.

Heinrich did a little bit of Carlton Fisk from the 1975 World Series, as he tried to will the ball back fair.

Two pitches later, he homered to left-center field. and threw out Miller, giving the Raiders a 5-4 Fox Valley Conference baseball victory Saturday in the first of a three-game series. Huntley (22-4, 14-2

FVC) remains one game behind Crystal Lake South in the FVC standings, while McHenry (16-7, 11-5) falls to four games behind.

Rizzo hit the third pitch from McHenry starter Ian Grubich over the leftfield fence, giving an indicator of how the wind, with gusts close to 30 mph, could affect the game. Two batters later, Heinrich hit one off the scoreboard in left-center. Heinrich looked like he was just trying to get a ball into the air after seeing Rizzo’s leave the park.

“I didn’t think the pitcher could throw his off-speed for a strike, so I was really just sitting fastball, and I capitalized on a belt-high fastball down the middle,” Heinrich said. “The first two innings we came out strong, and our bats kind of died, three through six (innings), but our pitchers came through.”

Morgan (4-1) went five innings, striking out six, allowing five hits and walking none. Konie finished the last two innings.

“Our guys had a real good approach at the plate,” Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski said. “The home runs gave us a jump-start. We told the kids, ‘Don’t get complacent, just keep adding.’ No

lead was safe today with the wind howling. It doesn’t blow out here all that often. You saw Patzin barrel a ball up, and you have Bobby Miller staring you in the face. Noah made a nice pitch, and Joe made a nice play, and we were able to finish the game.”

Which was even more important with the Warriors’ NCAA Division I pitchers Miller (Louisville) and Mike Lasiewicz (Northern Illinois) looming Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

“We started red-hot,” Rizzo said. “We hit the ball well. We knew we weren’t going to see Miller or Lasiewicz, so we had to steal the first one. We kind of cruised the rest of the game, but the defense held and the pitching was great.”

McHenry senior Jacob Fralick relieved Grubich in the second inning and allowed only one run in five innings.

“On Tuesday against (Crystal Lake) Central, [Fralick] came in and did really well,” Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler said. “We told him, ‘You earned some innings.’ We needed somebody, and we put him out there, and he was awesome. It was good that we kept battling against a good pitcher (Morgan).”

GIRLS SOCCER: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 3, PRAIRIE RIDGE 1

Gators knock off Wolves, stand alone atop FVC

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – In a split second of eye contact, Crystal Lake South’s Taylor Bittenbender and Jess Schoenfeldt saw the game-winning goal against Prairie Ridge before it happened.

Nine minutes into the second half, the score tied at 1, Schoenfeldt received the ball on the right wing and picked up her head. She first saw her target, Courtney Sengstock, making a run at the top of the box, but just beyond Sengstock she saw another runner, Bittenbender, making a deeper run.

“We kind of made eye contact,” Bittenbender said. “I knew she saw I was there out of the corner of her eye. She perfectly placed it.”

Schoenfeldt clipped the ball diagonally into the box over Sengstock into the path of Bittenbender.

“I was just like, ‘I’m just going to try and play this in, and hopefully it works,’” Schoenfeldt said. “It got through, so that was really nice.”

It was a well-placed ball that split the defense and put Bittenbender in one-onone with Prairie Ridge goalkeeper Taylor Golt.

Consecutive goals for the Gators after falling behind, 1-0

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The highly anticipated match was well attended, with more than 200 fans coming out, including a local youth team and members of fellow FVC contenders Cary-Grove. The Trojans, now tied with Prairie Ridge for second place in the FVC, face South on Tuesday.

“I just collected myself and placed it in the goal,” Bittenbender said.

The Gators added one more and withstood a late siege to beat the Wolves, 3-1, on Saturday morning in a Fox Valley Conference match at South.

The win puts the Gators (15-1-1, 6-0 FVC) in sole possession of first place heading into the final week of the regular season. It was the first FVC loss for the Wolves (12-2, 6-1).

“It’s very important for us,” Schoenfeldt said. “Yesterday, we were talking about it, we were like, ‘They’re going to be great.’ They were a great team. To get this win right now, it’s amazing. It’s a great feeling for all of us.”

The meeting of FVC unbeatens was wide open and physical from the start, with the Wolves putting the pressure on early. Prairie Ridge scored first, 10 minutes into the match, when Makena Silber smashed a shot in off the post from a tight angle.

Silber, Jena Berkland and other Wolves attackers continued to have success dropping into the space in front of the South backline but didn’t find another goal before the Gators got even.

“We knew who we had to watch up top, that combination, so once she hit her one shot, we were, ‘OK, she can’t shoot anymore,’” Gators goalkeeper Annika Sevcik said. “Our defense did a great job of getting in front of every shot and making them contested.”

Schoenfeldt tied the score with 12:01

left in the first half. Her low shot looked like it was stopped by Golt, but the ball snuck under the keeper’s hands and over the line.

“Putting that away was really nice. It was a great feeling,” Schoenfeldt said. “I didn’t think it was going to go in. I didn’t hit it very well, but I’ll take it. I’m not going to complain about it. It definitely helped us get the momentum going.”

After Bittenbender made it 2-1 early in the second half, South’s Abby Wiegand tacked on the third goal with 24:23 remaining, heading in Jillian Brokhof’s cross to punctuate a swift counterattack.

“We had some really nice combinations – really nice passes,” South coach Jay Mueller said. “We knew that obviously PR is a good team, and we play very similar styles, so it was going to come down to who executed better, especially on the counterattacks. We had some really quick counterattacks and nice passes to get down on in front of their goal and fortunately executed.”

The Wolves tried to get back in the game over the final 20 minutes, keeping the Gators’ defense under almost constant pressure, but never got a goal.

Sevcik finished with 10 saves, while Golt made six saves.

HUNTLEY – The outcome did not seem in doubt from the first inning when Huntley leadoff man Joe Rizzo homered, then No. 3 hitter Jeff Heinrich did the same.

The Red Raiders followed with three more runs in the second, and left-hander Kyle Morgan made things tough for McHenry from the mound.

Yet with the Warriors down to their last strike three times, Owen Patzin gave them new life when he ripped a fly ball toward left field that received the same boost the blasts from Rizzo and Heinrich had a couple of hours earlier.

Suddenly, McHenry trailed by a run with Bobby Miller, its best player, at the plate.

“It was a little frightening,” Rizzo said. “When Bobby Miller comes up, anything can happen. But I know (pitcher) Noah (Konie), he’s a grinder, he’ll come right back and do it. Firstpitch curveball, as soon as [Miller] hit that pitch, I knew we got it.”

4 BOYS TENNIS: CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL INVITATIONAL

Host Tigers use depth to take title

By SEAN HAMMOND

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Central’s Johnny Wallace had a potential finals match with Marian Central’s Ian Brzeski circled. Wallace has lost one match all season, and it was to Brzeski on April 12.

On Saturday at the Crystal Lake Central Invitational, Wallace earned a measure of revenge, defeating Brzeski, 6-0, 6-2, for the No. 2 singles title and helping his Tigers to a team victory.

Central’s 39 points beat out Fremd’s 38. Marian took third with 36 points.

Other local teams included Prairie Ridge in fifth (22) and Dundee-Crown (20) and Woodstock North (20) tied for sixth in the eight-team field.

Wallace and Brzeski have known each other since they were little, having both trained at The Racket Club in Algonquin.

“He’s really tough,” Wallace said.

“He knows what I’m going to do and anticipates it. He’s an all-around good player.”

Wallace needed a tiebreaker to win his first match against Fremd’s Vansh Rai, and then battled for a 7-6 (3), 6-2, victory in the semifinal over Lake Zurich’s Alvin Pham.

He turned things up for the final against Brzeski.

“If he’s on, he’s on. He was on today,” Brzeski said. “He started off, he hit four winners on me right in a row. He got up, 3-0. I couldn’t come back from that. He just destroyed me.”

Despite playing together often, it was only the second time they squared off in a high school match. Brzeski’s win in

Crystal Lake Central’s boys tennis team won its own invitational Saturday by one point over Fremd. Pictured are Ethan St. John (from left), Matt Johnson, Maverick Edwards, Christian Raguero, Johnny Wallace, Dev Brahmbhatt and Scott Hyland. Not pictured, Matt Byrnes.

April was 6-4, 6-2.

For Central, Wallace’s win was its only first-place finish. But a solid day all around led to the team title.

“That was the epitome of a team victory,” coach Cory Osterberg said. “Everybody needed to win the first round; everybody did. If one team doesn’t finish where they did, we don’t win.”

At No. 1 singles, Central’s Ethan St. John cruised through his first two matches, then lost, 7-5, 6-4, to Lake Zurich’s Roberto Guagnelli. Only a week ago, St. John lost to Guagnelli in a match that Osterberg said “was over before it started.”

St. John put up a better fight this time.

“That was an all-around tough match,” St. John said of Saturday’s final. “He was serving well. He’s got a great serve, great forehand.”

Osterberg was happy with the turnaround.

“Ethan went all out,” Osterberg said.

“He just went out there today with nothing to lose, go out swinging and whatever happens, happens. When you play that way, you play a lot more free.”

Central’s No. 2 doubles pair of Matt Johnson and Christian Raguero finished second. Marian’s Cade Seegers

and Charlie Reyes beat out Prairie Ridge’s Jack Coens and Patrick O’Malley for third place.

At No. 3 doubles, Central’s Maverick Edwards and Matt Byrnes took third with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Dundee-Crown’s James Butcher and Devin Hodges.

Marian’s Patrick Struttman and Christian Fernandez finished second at No. 3 doubles after a loss to Fremd’s Kei Matsuoka and Josh Park.

“They were really good,” Fernandez said of the Fremd pair. “Our serves were better than usual today.”

The finish helped the Hurricanes take third overall. No. 1 singles player Michael Dowling took third, beating Prairie Ridge’s Ben Lingner, 6-4, 6-3, in the third-place match.

North’s Brandon Pacheco was fourth at No. 2 singles for the Thunder’s best finish of the day.

6 NASCAR MONSTER ENERGY CUP: TALLADEGA QUALIFYING

Stenhouse beats out Earnhardt for pole

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. – Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s farewell tour officially has started.

All eyes are on NASCAR’s favorite son as he races Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, a place where he’s adored by the fans and expected to win every time he gets in his Chevrolet.

The crowd roared Saturday in qualifying when he shot to the top of the board, but it was short-lived. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the last driver to qualify, immediately bumped Earnhardt to second. Stenhouse turned a lap at 191.547 mph to put the Roush Fenway Ford on the pole.

Earnhardt leads all active drivers at Talladega with six wins but never has started from the pole. His lap was 190.780 mph in a Chevrolet.

“I’m pretty happy,” Earnhardt said.

“Great lap by Stenhouse and the Roush crew. Would have liked that pole.”

Stenhouse didn’t mind spoiling the Talladega party with his first pole in four years.

“It will be nice to lead the field to the green here,” Stenhouse said. “It’s a cool way to start the weekend.”

Earnhardt announced last week that he’s retiring at the end of the season, and this first of two stops at Talladega has him nostalgic for one of his favorite race tracks.

“Thrilled with our car, good speed,” said Earnhardt, who didn’t seem to be joking when he noted a pole would make him eligible to run the preseason “Clash” at Daytona.

“Probably could have sat down and

talked to Rick (Hendrick) about running the Clash or something, but let’s see if we can’t try to get another one later on this year.”

There’s some notion that Sunday is a must-win race for Earnhardt, because the start to his final season has not been great. He also has won only one race at a track other than Daytona or Talladega since 2014. So with his playoff chances dwindling, a victory would be a big boost to this goodbye tour.

“We have had a dry spell, haven’t won a lot of races,” Earnhardt admitted. “I think if I go in thinking this is a must-win, then I’m probably going to get in there and make a few mistakes.”

Earnhardt is 24th in the standings behind five finishes of 30th or worse this season. But he’s got a strong mindset for Sunday, in which he knows he needs to be strongest and smartest in the third and final segment.

“Every move and decision, every slight turn of the wheel has to be the right decision,” he said.

8 ORIOLES 6, WHITE SOX 5

Covey struggles early, still looks for first career win

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

BALTIMORE – Third baseman Todd Frazier stands alongside shortstop Tim Anderson on the field and, as a veteran presence and solid defender on that side of the field, is keeping an eye on the young White Sox shortstop.

Encouraging, prodding and talking are some of the things Frazier does best. It’s something Anderson can use right about now.

“This year has been one of the toughest times of my career,” Anderson said Saturday, “because I’ve been struggling a little bit.’’

A slice of Anderson’s 2017 defensive game was on display in the Baltimore Orioles’ 6-5 victory over the Sox Saturday night at Camden Yards. His backhand attempt on Mark Trumbo’s infield single in the O’s three-run first deflected off his glove, a play he’ll tell you he should have made for a force out. In the fifth, he ranged from second base to his left and laid out to stop Seth Smith’s one-hopper for the third out.

It was one of his best plays this season. And he’s made a bunch of good

day. “With him, I’m not worried one bit because he makes the hard plays look Chicago Baltimore easy and the easy plays look hard.” ab r h bi ab r h bi While Anderson’s seven errors in Me.Cbrr lf 4 0 0 1 S.Smith rf 4 1 1 0 L.Grcia cf 4 1 2 1 Gentry lf 1 0 0 0 28 games are beginning to cause some Abreu 1b 4 1 2 2 A.Jones cf 5 1 1 0 A.Grcia rf 4 0 1 0 M.Mchdo 3b 4 2 2 1 concern as he ventures into his second T.Frzer 3b 4 0 0 0 C.Davis 1b 4 0 1 0 Asche dh 3 1 1 1 Trumbo dh 4 1 2 1 year, Frazier, 31, said he hasn’t seen Ti.Andr ss 4 0 1 0 Mancini lf 3 1 2 3 the need to counsel the 23-year-old.

on the job. He got hit hard again, this time for six runs on 10 hits in four innings and balking in a run to raise his ERA to 10.07 over his last four starts.

The O’s built leads of 4-0 and 6-2 as Manny Machado and Trey Mancini homered against Covey, who has allowed seven long balls and appears to be in jeopardy of losing his place in the rotation.

“I just need to execute pitches better,” said Covey, who has pitched in only six games above Single-A in the minors. “Hanging breaking balls with two strikes, I need to get those in the dirt.”

Cody Asche, batting .115, hit his first homer, against O’s starter Dylan Bundy (5-1), and Jose Abreu lined a bullet off the left-field foul pole for a two-run homer against Mychal Givens in the eighth, cutting the Orioles’ lead to 6-5. The exit velocity on Abreu’s low liner was 112 mph, according to MLB Statcast.

“I would venture to say the metrics people are very happy with his exit velocities,” Renteria said.

Abreu (2 for 4) has 24 hits, including five homers, in his last 15 games, raising his average to .294.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon (second from left) talks with players during the first inning Saturday at Wrigley Field. of different fronts. And they’ve actually been pitching too often. Personified (Friday) by the fact that we didn’t have enough guys left for that game.

“Really, to make this all right, we’ve just got to get our starting pitching straightened out. Last year, if you remember, the bullpen didn’t pitch a whole lot because the starters were so good. And I thought that’s what kept the bullpen really solid during the course of the season. With the starting pitching pitching so well, there was not as much emphasis of having to score so many

runs because they were that good.”

Last year, Maddon pointed to the starting pitching as the reason for the Cubs’ lopsided run differential, which wound up at plus-252, more than 100 runs better than the second-best team.

The Cubs entered Saturday with a run differential of plus-16, fourth in the National League. Washington went into Saturday leading the NL at plus-50.

“So I just think it always starts with the starting pitching,” Maddon said.

“Once we get these guys back on solid ground, being like they can be, the hit-

ting is going to show up. And then the bullpen won’t be utilized so much.”

The Yankees sent nine men to the plate in the first inning. Anderson left after he gave up a two-run double to No. 7 hitter Chase Headley. Felix Peña relieved Anderson and worked the next 32/3 innings before he gave way to Rob Zastryzny, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa before the game.

CUBS NOTES

Maddon not sure he’s ready for ‘robo-umpires’

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – There’s no question the Cubs and manager Joe Maddon were less than enamored of some of the ball-and-strike calls over the past week.

After one game, Maddon said the home-plate umpire, Toby Basner, had a “ball zone” instead of a strike zone.

Calls for electronic, or “robo-umpires,” have intensified in recent years, but Maddon said Saturday he’s not sure whether he wants to go there yet, even though he likes replay for calls in the field.

“Honestly, I’ve been vacillating on that,” Maddon said. “I love what’s going on on the bases. I admit that. I’ve

talked about that because in spring training, when it wasn’t there, you really found out how much you liked it being there. I’m convinced of that, although there are a couple tweaks I would still like to see.

“Balls and strikes.

It’s just hard to tell.

You don’t even know.

It’s be careful what you Joe Maddon wish for or unintended consequences. If there is an electronically controlled zone, which I’ve been speaking more in favor of recently, are veteran umpires actually really good at understanding nuance of the game and what actually is a good pitch and what needs to be called a strike based

on how the game is supposed to be played and run, whatever? Or does it have to be more exact regarding, ‘This is exactly the strike zone against this guy, how tall he is, however he stands, whatever that means.’ Is that going to be important? I’m really vacillating on this right now.”

Another roster move: Because their bullpen has been overtaxed by non-quality starts, the Cubs made a roster move, recalling left-handed reliever Rob Zastryzny from Class AAA Iowa.

To make room, they designated outfielder Matt Szczur for assignment.

Zastryzny was 0-1 with 1 save and a 6.88 ERA at Iowa in seven games. He made his big-league debut with the Cubs last season, going 1-0 with a 1.13

ERA in eight games, one as a starter.

He was a second-round draft pick of the Cubs in 2013.

Szczur was 4 for 19 this year. Over four seasons with the Cubs, he batted .243 with eight homers.

It was the second roster move in two days for the Cubs. On Friday they optioned reliever Justin Grimm to Iowa and recalled reliever Felix Pena. Pena had to come into Saturday’s game in the first inning after starter Brett Anderson was ineffective.

Heyward held out: Right fielder Jason Heyward was kept out of Saturday’s starting lineup against the Yankees because of a sore knuckle on his right hand. Maddon said Heyward injured himself diving for a ball in Friday’s series opener.

• Sunday, May 7, 2017

CHICAGO – There’s a reason we keep harping on the stat of quality starts in this space.

If your team gets them, they win. If your team doesn’t get quality starts, it’s asking for trouble.

Consider the Cubs to be asking for big trouble these days.

Left-hander Brett Anderson made another short start Saturday night against the New York Yankees at Wrigley Field.

After working just 11/3 inning against the Phillies last Monday, Anderson could not get out of the first inning Saturday, as he went just one-third of an inning and gave up six hits and five runs.

The Yankees went on to win the game, 11-6.

Anderson left the game accompanied by an athletic trainer. The Cubs said Anderson experienced tightness in his lower back.

The Cubs have played 30 games this season, and they have gotten only 10 quality starts. Last season, they had 21 quality starts through their first 30 games and were 24-6.

Things finished on a somewhat amusing note with catcher Miguel Montero pitching the ninth inning for the Cubs.

“The biggest thing for me is just to get our starters more deeply into the game,” Maddon said. “As of right now, if you look at our bullpen, if you actually look at the numbers, easily the best bullpen in the National League on a lot

Alvarez dominates Chavez Jr., says he will fight Golovkin next

LAS VEGAS – Saul “Canelo” Alvarez dominated a grudge match against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday night, winning a unanimous decision in a fight that left no doubt who is the top active Mexican boxer.

Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) used a punishing jab to take control early in the 12-round matchup of former middleweight champions. The bigger Chavez (50-3-1, 32 KOs) started bleeding from the nose in the third round. His left eye swelled in the sixth and started to close a round later.

After the beating, Alvarez immediately announced he next will face middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in September in a long-awaited bout.

Adolph Kiefer, the 100-meter backstroke champion at the 1936 Berlin Games who was America’s oldest living Olympic gold medalist in any sport, has died. He was 98.

He died Friday at his home in Wadsworth, grandson Robin Kiefer said.

Kiefer had been hospitalized with pneumonia in recent months. He had neuropathy that kept him confined to a wheelchair later in life, but he continued swimming because he could still stand in the water, Robin Kiefer said.

Kiefer became an Olympic champion as a 17-year-old in an Olympic-record time that stood for 20 years. He also was the first man to break one minute in the 100 backstroke, doing so as a high school swimmer in Illinois. He later competed for the University of Texas.

As a child he disliked getting water up his nose, so he swam on his back.

He went to start a swimming equipment company in 1947 with his wife, Joyce, that invented several performance and safety products, such as the first nylon swimsuit, which was used by the U.S. Olympic team, and a patent for the first design of the nonturbulent racing

a combined 7 for 29 from the field and 3 for 15 from 3-point range, leaving Durant to lead the Warriors.

HORSE RACING: 143rd KENTUCKY DERBY

Always Dreaming splashes to victory Second Derby win for jockey Velazquez, trainer Pletcher Brooklyn cheers

By BETH HARRIS Kentucky Derby chart Derby winner The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A trainer and jockey accustomed to success. A headstrong horse with a mind of its own. Together, they harnessed their collective talents to win the Kentucky Derby.

Always Dreaming splashed through the slop for a 23/4-length victory Saturday, giving Todd Pletcher and rider John Velazquez their second victories in the race but their first together.

The New York-based duo has teamed up often over the years and is the sport’s leading money winners. On their own, they were a combined 2 for 63 coming into America’s greatest race.

Joining forces, they were unbeatable on a cool and rainy day at Churchill Downs.

“This is so special to win this race with Johnny,” Pletcher said. “We’ve been together for all these years and this is sweet.”

Sent off at 9-2 odds, Always Dreaming made it the fifth straight year that a Derby favorite has won, the longest such stretch since the 1970s.

He was followed across the finish line by a pair of longshots: 33-1 Lookin At Lee and 40-1 Battle of Midway.

Always Dreaming ran 11/4 miles in 2:03.59 and paid $11.40, $7.20 and $5.80.

“This is the best horse Todd and I have ever come to the Kentucky Derby with,” Velazquez said.

Lookin At Lee returned $26.60 and

$18.20, while Battle of Midway was another five lengths back in third and paid $20.80 to show.

Pletcher won his first Derby in 2010 with Super Saver; Velazquez won the following year with Animal Kingdom.

Rarely one to show his emotions, Pletcher admitted being teary-eyed behind his sunglasses.

Going into his 17th Derby, Pletcher saddled the post-time favorite for the first time. Much had been made of his 1 for 45 Derby record.

“It’s becoming a little more respectable now,” said Pletcher, whose 48 starters tied D. Wayne Lukas for the most in Derby history.

Velazquez used his colt’s speed out of the gate to get good position early in a chaotic start that saw several horses, including McCraken and Classic Empire, banged around. He steered

Always Dreaming into an ideal trip behind pacesetter State of Honor, with mud flying in all directions on a surface that resembled creamy peanut butter.

“The track is impossible,” said Mark Casse, who trains Classic Empire.

On the final turn, Always Dreaming took command as State of Honor faded. Despite chasing a quick early pace, Always Dreaming was still full of run.

No other horses threatened him down the stretch and Velazquez furiously pumped his right arm as they crossed the finish line.

“I got a good position with him early and then he relaxed,” Velazquez said.

“When we hit the quarter pole, I asked him and he responded. He did it himself from there.”

Pletcher had his hands full in the days leading up to the Derby when the colt’s behavior was less than a dream.

He was fractious in the morning, refusing to relax.

“I was nervous watching him gallop,” the trainer said.

Turns out the dark brown colt knew best.

He channeled his aggression into a determined effort on a track turned into goo by on-and-off rain before the race.

“I think he really came in here and knew it was game time, and he was ready to go,” Pletcher said. “The most important thing to do is bring the best horse to the Derby, and that’s what we were able to do.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Already well-connected in the business world, Anthony Bonomo hooked up with trainer Todd Pletcher to prepare an entry for the Kentucky Derby.

Bonomo’s wife, MaryEllen, offered up Always Dreaming’s name because of her proclivity for thinking big.

The dark brown colt then fulfilled a dream come true for a multitude of people by winning the marquee race going away Saturday.

A succession of Brooklyn accents spoke loudly in the joyous aftermath of Always Dreaming’s 2 3/4 -length victory as the favorite at Churchill Downs. Leading the way was Anthony Bonomo, who thanked many people for claiming one of sport’s most coveted trophies.

Bonomo said the team includes unsung heroes: grooms, hotwalkers and exercise riders who worked each day to contribute to the win.

Always Dreaming’s primary ownership is composed of Bonomo’s Brooklyn Boyz Stables and Teresa Viola, whose husband, Vincent, owns the NHL’s Florida Panthers.

Vincent Viola was born in Brooklyn.

Missing the bleat that would make my life complete I don’t own a goat.

I blame my wife.

I’ve lived with animals most of my life. I’ve shared my home with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, lizards, snakes, turtles, salamanders, praying mantises and even an ant farm with several hundred head of teeming livestock.

But not a goat. Because I married a woman who for some reason draws the line at goats.

It’s not that she’s against having pets.

After we married and had children, she let the kids bring all manner of fauna into the living room.

But our teeming home has remained goatless the whole time.

Every time we drive through the countryside and see a flock (herd? gaggle? congregation?) of goats, I go all moon-eyed and point out the one I’d love to have ambling about our backyard. I would only want one – a small one – and I would treat it like a king (or queen) of the yard. I would build a wooden platform, or maybe a pile of rocks and boulders, for it to climb upon.

But my wife only shakes her head. No goats.

I never go all moon-eyed when we pass horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, pigs or donkeys (although a donkey would be pretty cool, I have to admit.)

My wish-list has only one barnyard animal on it: a goat.

But no. I have a wife instead, and my wife draws the line at goats.

To be fair to her, she has a healthy respect for the law, and during our long marriage all the suburban housing developments we’ve lived in have firm laws about owning barnyard animals such as horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, pigs, donkeys – or goats.

Oh, we could have made it work, I am sure. We always had the garage, or the basement, or that extra bedroom once the kids grew up and moved out.

We could have made room for a goat, and the authorities never would have known. Maybe not even the neighbors.

Even so, my wife said: No goat.

And down deep, I know she’s not the only one to blame for my unrequited goatly dream, because I have myself to blame, too.

I had my one chance, long ago, and I blew it.

I was a freshman at Western Illinois University, and I knew a guy named

“Every time we drive through the countryside and see a flock (herd? gaggle? congregation?) of goats, I go all moon-eyed and point out the one I’d love to have ambling about our backyard. I would only want one – a small one – and I would treat it like a king (or queen) of the yard. I would build a wooden platform, or maybe a pile of rocks and boulders, for it to climb upon. But my wife only shakes her head. No goats.

Barry who lived on a farm between Macomb and Colchester. At the back of his fields stood a big grove of ancient oaks clustered around a creek bed – too rough to farm, but teeming with rabbits. Barry was not a hunter, and his only interest in rabbits was trying to keep them from ravaging his wife’s vegetable garden. So he welcomed me to come hunt rabbits in the woods any morning I had free.

I went one Saturday with a friend named Jim, and we were halfway across Barry’s fields on our way to the woods when we noticed the goat following us. We tried to shoo him back to the barnyard, but the goat would have none of it. He stayed with us, 10 yards behind, stopping when we stopped, walking when we walked.

“Well, I guess Barry won’t mind if we let him come along,” I said. “He knows the way home if he’s gun-shy.”

No sooner had we entered the tangled woods when we jumped the first rabbit. Jim shot and missed, and the goat stopped and watched without a blink. He was as staunch to the crack of gunfire as any good bird dog would be.

We walked on, and the goat walked on right behind us. With every shot the goat just stopped and watched.

I finally tumbled one rabbit, and I turned to the goat and said, “Fetch!”

The goat just stood and stared at me with its yellow eyes.

A hundred yards into the forest, we came across an old bramble-covered

barbed wire fence we stepped over. But the goat stopped, unwilling or unable to scale it. “I guess that’s as far as he wants to go,” I said.

But as Jim and I walked on, the little goat bleated plaintively.

“Well, hell,” I said when the goat’s bleats became too mournful to listen to.

I walked back, put down my shotgun, and lifted the goat over the fence to join us. Now he walked directly between us, a full card-carrying member of our hunting party. That turned out to be a benefit, because now we could spread out a bit farther and still flush rabbits between the three of us, instead of just two.

Back at the farmhouse, we gave Barry a couple of bunnies because his wife liked rabbit stew. “Your goat was a big help,” I told him, “but we couldn’t get him to point or retrieve.”

Barry stared at me. “What goat?” he said.

I pointed out the window, where the goat stood in the farmyard at the foot of the porch.

“Not mine,” he said.

“One of the neighbors’?” I asked. “We could drop him off.”

Barry shook his head. “Nope. Not from around here.”

That was where it all started, I guess – my lifelong dream of owning a goat. I could have taken him home with me. I hadn’t yet met my wife-to-be, so there was nothing to stop me.

Of course, when I finally did meet her, she would have had to decide: Is this guy with the goat worth dating?

I’d like to think my charms might have overcome her goat-gripes if we came as a package deal.

Still, you never know. It could have gone the other way, and today I would be an old fart driving around with a goat in the passenger seat, passing women on the street and saying, “Hey, check out that lady. Let’s ask her to come home with us!”

And the goat bleating: “Na-a-a-ah.”

Life is about making choices, I guess.

A guy could do worse than having a wife and no goat.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Because of Bonnie Kassel and her daughter, Taylor, Crystal Lake is making a name for itself in a nationwide effort to raise awareness and funding to fight lupus.

For the fifth year in a row, the Kassels are heading up a Lupus Awareness Day, with plans to turn downtown Crystal Lake purple – the designated color for lupus awareness as part of this month’s National Lupus Awareness Month.

“We’re getting more national attention because this is the only place in the United States that has a whole town event, and the proceeds go to lupus,” said Bonnie Kassel of Crystal Lake, who started the fundraising in support of 19-year-old Taylor, now a freshman at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Taylor was diagnosed with lupus in 2011.

As part of the event, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 13 in downtown Crystal Lake, a Lupus Foundation booth will be set up near Benedicts La Strata, 40 N. Williams St., to provide information on the chronic autoimmune disease. The event also includes raffles of baskets full of donated goodies, music provided by a DJ, purple ribbons, decorations and other promotions, and vendors selling homemade items, such as jewelry, jellies and more, inside the nearby Raue Center for the Arts.

The event coincides with spring flower sales hosted by Downtown Crystal Lake, in which hanging baskets and planters are sold for Mother’s Day. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Lupus Foundation of America.

“We’re trying to get more of the community involved,” said Kassel, who, along with Taylor, has put together a volunteer team of event organizers, including Regina Villalobos of Huntley, who suffers from the disease, and Maribeth Barkoci of Crystal Lake.

Bonnie said she’d love to see more people get involved as the event grows annually, and she’s been overwhelmed by the show of support.

“I’m trying to move it to the next level,” said Bonnie, who works at Benedict’s. “I want them to feel my pain and my passion. It’s so important. … I’m trying to teach people how to prevent it, to cure themselves. We try to teach people if you get it, it’s not the end of the world.”

This year’s event also will include a representative from the Lupus Foundation of America. Often undiagnosed, lupus attacks the skin, joints and organs, causing extreme fatigue, headaches, painful or swollen joints, chest pain, fever and numerous other

symptoms. There is no known cure, and medicines are limited.

Taylor has remained off medications for the past five years, managing the disease by being careful with what

she exposes herself to, as far as chemicals and such, and what she eats, trying to stick to pure and organic foods.

People have died from the disease because of a lack of diagnosis and

treatment, Bonnie said. Also to raise awareness, she and Taylor are heading for a third time to Washington, D.C., this summer to help represent the Lupus Foundation and lobby Congress for funding.

“It’s the hardest disease to figure out because it effects every organ of your body,” she said.

As part of National Lupus Awareness Month, businesses will donate a portion of the proceeds of sales to the Lupus Foundation on designated days. Participating businesses include Buffalo Wild Wings (May 15), Texas Roadhouse (May 16), Lou Malnati’s (May 17), Galloway’s Chicago Subs (May 18), Public House of Woodstock (May 22), Colonial Café (beginning at 4 p.m. May 23), Chipotle (from 5 to 9 p.m. May 24), Julie Ann’s (May 27), Georgio’s (May 30) and Color Me Mine (May 31).

Why you might need wedding insurance

By LACIE GLOVER

The Associated Press

Samantha Becker makes her way through a garden Feb. 28, 2015, while walking to her wedding ceremony on the grounds of San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the liquor to the linens, choosing a wedding venue requires attention to details.

Choosing a venue can be tricky

By LEANNE ITALIE

The Associated Press Scouting and securing a wedding venue comes with a world of potential pitfalls, from hidden fees to parking headaches.

Those things, along with most other aspects of a traditional wedding, go a long way in explaining why Melanie Fontana and her fiancé, Michel Schulz, are getting hitched at a scenic overlook along famed Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.

“The whole idea of a wedding, booking a typical wedding venue and all that, it just all seemed really boring,” the 30-year-old Fontana said.

“We just drove around and found this really great spot. We’re going to do it at sunset.”

With their free venue picked out for their August nuptials, the two L.A.based songwriters used a relatively new website, PoptheKnot, to make other details come alive.

The pop-up wedding planning business, which limits guests to 25, will provide an officiant, a photographer (pictures will be posted online for download or printing), a bouquet and a boutonnière for $1,600, along with two coordinators on the big day at an extra cost of $300.

In Brooklyn, Blathnaid Conroy, 29, and her fiancé got engaged in January

and will marry in May. They, too, were looking for an unconventional venue, and “we were moving really fast,” she said.

After numerous searches online, the advertising agency art director found another website that worked for her, Splacer. Similar to Airbnb, the site showcases venue rentals, from bargain to luxury. A couple of other sites – Venue Report and Peerspace – do the same.

Conroy picked a vintage brick two-story warehouse space in Williamsburg and had no trouble working directly with the building manager to lock down the rental. The manager even offered extra hours for them to set up and decorate.

“We were on such a tight timeline. I think we were both pretty worried we wouldn’t find a place,” Conroy said.

“When we walked into this particular venue, it was totally our vibe. It wasn’t all done up or too fancy. It looked like somewhere we would go to a party in Brooklyn on any weekend. That’s what we were trying to achieve.”

The wedding site The Knot estimates the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. reached an all-time high of $35,329 last year, excluding the honeymoon, as couples spent more to personalize the day for themselves and to entertain their guests. Couples using smartphones for wedding plan-

ning more than doubled from 2014 to 90 percent, with 43 percent using online planning tools, according to The Knot, which surveyed nearly 13,000 brides and grooms who married in 2016.

When it comes to weddings, location, location, location has been elevated in the planning process, according to The Knot, with unexpected places to wed, including barns, public gardens, wineries and museums, on the rise.

Nearly half of The Knot’s respondents in its 10th annual Real Weddings Study said having a scenic reception venue was the top priority. Having both an indoor and an outdoor space was most important for 30 percent of couples.

Shying away from traditional locations, such as hotels and restaurants, can make things tricky, especially for couples plowing through without a wedding coordinator. Some coordinators recommend a good first step before venue shopping is nailing down the number of guests and sticking to it.

A good rule of thumb: About 85 percent will show up, some planners said.

“A planner knows the venues that best fit the wedding size, along with what is included with the venue’s price,” said planner Amos Gott in Nashville, Tennessee. “Most importantly, a planner knows what venues are ethical and which ones have hidden fees and try to take advantage of the couple.”

If you’re busy planning a wedding, you might want to consider insuring it.

Wedding insurance policies are relatively easy to understand, and the two main types are both inexpensive compared with the cost of a ceremony and reception: • Liability insurance covers you in case of an injury or property damage at the wedding. Liquor liability, sometimes a separate coverage, pays out if someone drinks too much and causes an injury or damage.

• Cancellation coverage reimburses you for costs such as deposits and guests’ airfare if you need to cancel or reschedule the wedding for an unforeseen reason. Unfortunately, that doesn’t include a change of heart.

The most common wedding cancellation claims involve: • A vendor, such as the venue or caterer, going out of business or being otherwise unable to fulfill its agreement.

• Extreme weather, such as a hurricane and tornado.

• A member of the bridal party or family being too injured or ill to participate.

Costs

Cancellation and liability coverage are sold separately.

Prices are based on the number of guests or the wedding’s price tag, depending on the insurer, but each can cost less than $200 for a wedding with fewer than 50 guests.

How to buy it

You can buy wedding insurance through an event insurer, such as Wedsafe or WedSure, or a large insurer such as Travelers Insurance.

Some insurers sell “event insurance,” which also can cover a wedding. Ask your agent if your current insurer has any options.

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press

To make a wedding more personal, many couples opt to tie the knot at home – their own home or that of a relative or friend. There are plenty of creative ways to make the big event homey, fun and beautiful.

And with some careful thought and planning, you can save a lot of money in the process.

The essential thing when planning a DIY wedding at home is to plan as far ahead as possible and carefully consider the whole picture before definitely opting to do it all at home, said Brigitt Earley, senior editor at Real Simple magazine.

“Always consider all of the numbers. Sometimes it seems like it will be less expensive to host your wedding at home, but your home is a blank canvas and you often have to bring in a lot of items – table and chair rentals, extra bathrooms, kitchen equipment.

These costs can add up to more than the fee of renting out a more traditional venue,” she said. “Also, consider things like space constraints, landscaping and parking.”

If a home wedding still seems the way to go, think about where to save

what’s already there looks its best.”

As for flowers, get creative.

“You don’t need a ton of flowers to make a beautiful arrangement,” said Alethea Harampolis, co-author with Stefani Bittner of “Harvest: Unexpected Projects Using 47 Extraordinary Garden Plants” (Ten Speed Press).

“Just three nice branches, like blossoming apple or plum, in a bowl can be stunning.”

They suggest dozens of homespun projects easily adapted for eye-catching wedding decor, guest gifts, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. There are facial creams and scrubs, or naturally dyed gifts, wreaths and garlands for decor, and flower-pressed cheese resembling tiny wedding cakes for the buffet table. For those in search of something blue to complete the event: champagne garnished with borage petals.

Another way to add pizazz to a home wedding? Sara Bliss, author of “Hotel Chic at Home” (The Monicelli Press), suggests “lining up lanterns with tiny candles inside to make everything look magic, especially at night. A row of lanterns along walkways or at entrances, or even along tables as a centerpiece really sets the mood.”

and where to splurge, Earley said.

“Bathrooms may not sound all that glamorous, but you’ll want to consider splurging on a fancy bathroom trailer if your home only has one accessible bathroom. You don’t want guests waiting in line all night, but even worse: You could encounter problems if you overload your home’s plumbing system,” she said.

Make sure your home’s electrical system can accommodate all the power needed to run extra kitchen equipment and lighting. Earley suggests getting a professional opinion, and considering bringing in a generator.

“Don’t forget to check with the town: Some areas require permits, or have noise ordinances you’ll want to be aware of well in advance of the big day,” she said.

The good news is once the practical nuts and bolts such as power, permits, space constraints and bathrooms have been dealt with, you can focus on inspiring decor, flowers and gifts.

“To save, play up your home’s natural features,” Earley said. “There’s probably a reason you chose your home for your wedding. Is it the beautiful wraparound porch? Or the sea view? Rather than splurge on expensive extras such as flowers, make sure

The Mother’s Day debate:

Stay in or go out?

L

By LEANNE ITALIE • The Associated Press

eslie Young is the California mom of four kids 9 and younger. For her, Mother’s Day is far from serene.

“Just because it’s Mother’s Day doesn’t mean the nurse, chauffeur, chef, janitor, hair stylist or activity coordinator get the day off,” she said of all the hats she wears.

In fact, her Mother’s Day will begin the Saturday before, when she’ll organize a gathering for her own mom, then a Sunday, after-church affair for her mother-in-law, typically in a fancy restaurant around Carlsbad, north of San Diego, where she lives – and the 36-year-old Young considers a fancy restaurant “nothing short of a circus.”

“I would love to spend Mother’s Day at home, where my kids can run amok and it doesn’t matter because no one else is there to judge me,” she said.

Sorry, Leslie, but do know that you’re not alone.

Staying home for Mother’s Day versus going out for a special meal is befuddling for others as well, and especially families with small children. On the one hand, yay! Fancy outing. On the other hand, yikes! Who’s got the energy and wants to spend it chasing little ones around a restaurant? And it’s not always just about little kids around white tablecloths and spillable drinks.

Denise Wilson, 47, has two teens, 13 and 15, and still wants out of the restaurant outing for Mother’s Day. In New York, where she lives, that usually means a hectic chase for a reservation, long lines and huge crowds. This year, they’ll head to their weekend house in East Hampton on Long Island for relaxing, family fun.

“Life is super hectic and not being beholden to a clock or having to make a decision, and enjoying simple and relaxed moments, feels almost a luxury,” she said. “It’s essentially a weekend of no obligations. My husband will cook.”

Another New Yorker, cookie-baking entrepreneur Zenobia Dewely, builds her family’s collective sweet tooth into her Mother’s Day. For six years, the 44-year-old mom of three – ages 18, 16 and 12 – has been on the opposite end of the Mother’s Day spectrum.

“I look forward to going out with my family every year,” she said. “We have an Outback and Dylan’s Candy store tradition. We usually get ice cream and then we dip strawberries, bananas and rice crispy treats in the chocolate fountain.”

According to National Restaurant Association research last year, the latest available from the trade group, 35 percent of Americans said

Mother of two from New York they planned to dine out on Mother’s Day, with 13 percent choosing buffet style restaurants. About 13 percent said they would opt for breakfast, 26 percent brunch and 46 percent dinner, with some planning multiple restaurant or order-in options.

Casual dining prevailed among 69 percent of Mother’s Day diners surveyed, while 21 percent went for fine dining. Fewer than half – 45 percent – were eating out with children under 18.

Liz Vaccariello, mom of twin girls and editor in chief of Parents magazine, hears a lot from readers on the stay home versus go out Mother’s Day front these days.

“I often hear that Mother’s Day is more stressful for mothers than you would think,” she said. “Often, they are caught between celebrating their own mother, their mother-in-law and some big shindig that their husband might have planned. I’ve had readers tell me that they’d enjoy a pass on the day, just stay at home and be with their children for some quiet time.

It’s rather counterintuitive, but I’m hearing this more and more.”

Personally, Vaccariello said, her favorite Mother’s Day was several

years ago, when her girls were 5. Her husband packed a surprise picnic and they passed the day in a park near their suburban New York home in New Jersey, just hanging out and eating grapes, cheese and bread.

“It’s one of my fondest memories,” she said. “Better than any restaurant.”

Kari Catuogno, 40, shares the feeling. She has two boys, 5 and 3, and describes the in-or-out debate this way: “It’s like flying first class or on the wing of plane! A real treat is just letting me sleep in, waking up to my favorite Starbucks and giving me as much time as I want for a shower with no interruptions. Heaven!”

In Alexandria, Virginia, Amanda Ponzar still is mired in the debate. She has two boys, 5 and 9, and nephews who are 3 and 5. Her sister-in-law and her own mom know one thing – they don’t want to cook come the May 14 holiday.

“A restaurant with four very busy boys is a mess and hassle. We’ve tried buffets, Chinese restaurants and oth-

ers before. The boys can’t sit still, or if they do, gobble their food and half of it ends up on the floor,” said Ponzar, also 40. “They eat too much dessert and then after 10 minutes are itchy and want to run around.”

As for a fancy restaurant, well, “I can’t remember what that’s like,” Ponzar said.

They’ve discussed letting the men grill, but that doesn’t solve the entire problem, she said.

“The ladies still get left with sides, dessert, etcetera and handling the kids on Mother’s Day, plus who is washing the dishes and cleaning up the mess?

Now we’re talking about getting pizza or some other easy takeout food. This is what it’s come to!”

So what does she really want?

“For them to bring me a Starbucks venti mocha light Frappuccino and call it a day. Of course, it’s nice when the kids make a card,” she added, “as long as it says, ‘You’re the best mom in the world,’ not ‘Mom I hate you.’ I have cards that say both.”

Despite promises, daughter not working to get well Mr. Atwater: My daughter is 34 years old and is living back at home with us with her 6-year-old. She had a good-paying job but started taking pain medication about three years ago, and it has ruined her. She lost her job, ruined her marriage and now is almost penniless. She has been to rehab twice and now sees a doctor who gives her a medication for opiate addiction called suboxone. Her behavior is almost the same; she sleeps most days, is hopeless, listless and insists she’s doing everything she can to get well right now. She disappears into the city about twice a month and comes back with a “supply” of suboxone. We don’t understand how she gets it or what it’s supposed to do.

Dear Reader: Suboxone is a commonly used drug in medication assisted treatment for opiate addiction. It is the brand name for a drug that contains buprenorphrine and naloxone. One drug is a partial opioid agonist that fills the brain’s opioid receptors and prevents withdrawal symptoms but also comes with a milder, slower onset “buzz.” The other drug, naloxone, prevents the effects of opioids but is short acting.

Suboxone, or “subs” as it is known on the street, can be addictive. It also is a valuable commodity for heroin or prescription opiate users to avoid withdrawal until other drugs are available.

Some opiate addicts have done well

with suboxone when it is combined with other well-known and time-tested treatment and adequate follow-up, but to expect to “take a pill” as the sole treatment for addiction is both dangerous and unrealistic. You have mentioned nothing about any ongoing treatment, aftercare or self-help contact, but you did mention behavior that is “the same,” I presume as it was when she was abusing pain medication.

She insists she is doing everything she can right now, but that appears to be inaccurate. If she’s been to rehab twice, it has been explained clearly to her what she needs to be doing. Lastly, disappearing for days at a time into the city and returning with a “supply” is not the normal pattern for a person in medication-assisted treatment. I

would suggest that your daughter is either using other drugs or doctor shopping for suboxone; neither having anything to do with getting well.

It would seem it is time for a serious discussion with her about her lack of recovery. It might be wise for you to find an addictions counselor who can help you understand your daughter’s illness more fully and begin to design a recovery program for you as well as crafting the best way to open the discussion with her.

Summer book preview Titles abound for fans of big-name authors, history buffs

By TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER editorial@nwherald.com

Five big Xs. That’s what you’ve got on your calendar, running in a line right across the week you’re on vacation. Yep, five days away, and you’re already planning on what to pack – so don’t forget a good book.

Out in May

Get ready for the long Memorial Day weekend with new novels by Scott Turow, Dorothea Benton Frank, Lincoln Child, Michael Crichton, Clive Cussler and Graham Brown, Lee Child and Nora Roberts.

For the sports-minded, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a new book out on Coach Wooden; or try the new book by Lou Pinella. The history buff will want Dan Hampton’s new book on the Lindbergh flight; a new book on Apollo 8; a book about the creation of the U.S. Army; and the new book about Winston Churchill and George Orwell.

There’s also a new look at the last half-decade of Rolling Stone magazine and a book about how we buy food.

There are new books being released on being healthy, losing weight and cooking right. Also look for Al Franken’s new biography and a new book about horses by William Shatner.

Out in June

Start out your official summer with new novels by Brad Thor, Lisa Wingate, Dean Koontz, Jane Green, Linda Greenlaw, Gena Showalter, Eric Van Lustbader, Karen Robards, Joseph Finder, Adriana Trigiani, Edward Kelsey Moore, Sharyn McCrumb, Janet Evanovich, Diana Palmer, Danielle Steel and Diana Gabaldon.

There’s a new book due out for coffee lovers who want to lose weight, a book being released on cheese and a cookbook for salad lovers. Readers

who love history will want a new book about two female test pilots who worked for the Third Reich, a book about stock market crashes in history and a new book about Robert Smalls, who escaped from slavery and became a “Union Hero.”

Look for “Sea Power,” a book about the history and politics of the ocean, one about JFK and MLK, a new book for weird people and “Failures” who want a career that fits them specifically, a biography about Joni Mitchell and one about Van Hale, a look at the LGBT community and the Catholic Church, Sherman Alexie’s new memoir, a book about the science of change, a “secret history” of the iPhone and a book about how fake news affects you.

Out in July

Halfway through the summer, and there’s still more.

Your vacation will be happier with novels by Julie Garwood, Daniel Silva, Susan Mallory, Joshilyn Jackson, Suzanne Brockmann, Kathy Reichs, Linda Castillo, Alexander McCall Smith, M.J. Rose, Ace Atkins, Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen, and C.J. Box. Ben Mezrich looks at how science is trying to “de-extinct” the woolly mammoth. There’s a new biography due on Sarah Vaughn. This month, you also can read about the air we breathe, learn about Jews who escaped Nazi Germany and returned to fight against Hitler, and find out how to best become an “angel investor.”

You’ll find several new books for your summer cook-out, books to make you beach-ready and a new book for fans of the Archie comics.

Out in August

Hey, there’s still a lot of summer left, and a lot of books to read.

Enjoy the season with new novels

by J.R. Ward, Fiona Davis, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Sgt. Jack Coughlin, Susan Wiggs, Debbie Macomber, Stuart Woods and Parnell Hall, Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen, Andrew Gross, Robin Cook, T. Jefferson Parker, Erica Spindler, Sue Grafton’s “Y is for…”, Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman, Danielle Steele and Louise Penny.

Look for Heather Harphum’s new book on “Happiness.”

There’s a book due out about a college athlete and her tragic suicide, and one about a female code-breaker in World War II. Look for a new book on how to use your liberal arts degree.

You’ll find a book about Buddhism this month; also, a book about Alzheimer’s, one about how a father saved his son from ISIS, one by NFL team players about their first coaches, and a business book on succeeding by American counterintelligence expert Robin Dreeke (with Cameron Stauth).

Also look for a book on scandals at America’s elite colleges, a new book

by Al Roker on the Johnstown Flood and a book about how wonderful it is to be an adult who reads children’s literature.

And on that note, there are many, many new releases for the kids and the kid in you.

Before you hit the bookstore

This isn’t a final list, nor is it cast in stone. Releases may be canceled or rescheduled. If you’re excited about any of these titles, check with your favorite bookseller or librarian – they know what’s up, and helping you find exactly what you need is what they do best.

Happy vacation, and happy reading!

LITERARY REVIEW

By TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

At 17, Kevin had a rosy future ahead: junior team, A-team, then pro in short order. He was one of the finest players Peter had ever seen, and everybody in Beartown agreed – coaches, parents, girls and Kevin’s best friend, Benji.

They were a team, Benjamin and Kevin – mostly because Benji was fearless. He didn’t seem to feel pain, never worried, never lost sleep; he never missed a good donnyPhotos provided by Linnea Jonasson Bernholm & Appendix brook, either, fotografi just as he never Author Fredrik let his coachBackman es or his best friend down. On the ice, Benji kept the opposition away from Kevin. Off-rink, he kept away trouble. It was his job.

Everybody in Beartown knew what was riding on the junior semi-finals match. Virtually nobody in town was even thinking of missing what would promise to be a hockey game they’d talk about for decades. It could be the game of the century.

But, “There’s a storm brewing.”

And if author Fredrik Backman just stopped his story right there, “Beartown” still would be a first-rate, don’t-dare-miss novel. Instead, just after that Big Game scene, there’s a proper explosion, as is promised in a very short Chapter One, and it’s a ka-boom that’ll have your fingernails buried in this book’s cover.

Indeed, Backman’s exciting leadup to the game is only a fraction of this story, which gives readers time to cultivate a good feel for who the characters are and how they jigsaw together in this small town in the woods. Knowing them and the baggage that keeps them in Beartown will keep you breathless as the fallout rains down, and as you race toward the Perfect-with-a-Capital-P ending inside this book.

You don’t have to know hockey to enjoy this story; in fact, you might like it a little better if you don’t. You may even love it if you’re a fan of keeps-you-guessing novels of exquisite storytelling. Undoubtedly, if you’re a big Backman fan, you need this book, because “Beartown” cannot be beat.

As soon as they hit the court, field, or rink, they play their hearts out to win. And win. And win. The competition is … well, there really isn’t much competition, but, as in the new book “Beartown” by Fredrik Backman, trouble may come from within.

Hockey, for Beartown, wasn’t just a game. It was life.

Little boys learned to play hockey almost as soon as they walked. Everyone supported the team, tickets were dear, and local businesses were fierce sponsors. Hockey was life, and with a bigger city just down the road, it had become the only reason Beartown hadn’t disappeared altogether. This, Peter Andersson knew.

Once, Peter had been a Bear: a star in juniors, the A-team, and then the NHL, where he was injured enough to retire, move back to Beartown and become the teams’ general manager.

It was a good move for Peter, but maybe not so much for his wife, Kira, or his children, 15-year-old Maya and 12-year-old Leo. And for that, Peter second-guessed himself often.

Boys like Kevin Erdahl made the guilt bearable.
