Good morning, McHenry County ...

Outlaws don’t carry notepads, recorders One thing journalists who have any legitimate experience rarely ask for or expect is sympathy.

That just doesn’t happen, and if you’re going to last more than a few years in the business, you’ll have to come to terms with that. There are myriad reasons why people don’t like journalists, some of which should concern us – fair criticism about bias, callous disregard for facts, outright lies – those are all things that make good journalists even more angry than the public. There’s far too much generalization on that subject, but I digress.

I want to talk about what happened May 9 to West Virginia reporter Dan Heyman, who was arrested for asking questions to Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, and why it should trouble anyone, whether they like journalists or not.

One of the reasons people don’t like journalists is just the nature of the job. We ask pesky questions. If we don’t get an answer, expect to hear the question at least a dozen more times. We are asked to explain complex, controversial matters. As in any profession, some are much better at it than others. We also walk into sometimes horrific crime stories looking for meaning or at least clarity. In the worst moments of a community, or anywhere in the world, expect to find journalists right in the thick of it. War, famine, natural disaster – you name it.

That’s the gig. Sometimes people mistakenly think journalists are ghouls because of some of the horrific subjects they cover. I’ve never met one. As a longtime crime reporter, there are stories that still haunt me. I’m thankful that some of these were before I had my own kids, or the emotional reaction would have been more severe.

Sometimes people think reporters are jerks for being persistent with questions. We’re often trying to get at information the powers that be don’t want us to have. We aren’t waiting patiently for a pat on the head. We work for the public, and they have a lot of questions. Polite, decent folk often don’t have the access or the gall to ask those questions.

We should be respectful, even when we sometimes aren’t treated with respect, but sometimes we will get angry about a lack of access to information we believe the public has a right to know.

Sometimes that’s considered rude. Although I’m mild-mannered, I have used my outdoor voice indoors on more than one occasion.

But we’re not looking for friends. This is our job. We don’t need to be loved. I’ve got a wife, kids and a dog who I’m pretty sure love me. The dog is old and deaf, but he’s happy to see me at breakfast and dinner. Oddly, many of my actual friends are barely interested in what I do for a living.

Probably not a coincidence.

So we’re OK with the subtle contempt. But

WHERE IT’S AT

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons dislike for the profession and actually arresting people for performing it isn’t just crossing a line, it’s setting the Constitution on fire.

Heyman’s case made national headlines because it involved a sitting U.S. Cabinet member, but I’m concerned about how often this kind of thing happens and the chilling effect it has on members of the press, and more importantly, on the public’s right to know.

We don’t make a big splash of it, but just in my own tenure I know of a few occasions where our journalists were threatened with arrest for things such as taking photographs, and in one case (and I’m not making this up) covering a school strike while standing on school property.

This isn’t a partisan issue in the least. The Barack Obama administration had a deplorable record when it came to going after journalists.

This is a power issue. This is the government trying to control journalists and controlling the public’s right to know whatever information the government deems appropriate.

As a news consumer or citizen, maybe you don’t like the question, the publication, TV station or simply the journalist. Maybe the question has a liberal slant or a conservative bias. That’s not the point. The point is we can’t be arresting journalists for asking questions. That’s their job.

If we’re willing to do that to journalists, why not do it to citizens, too? Guy raises his voice at a city council meeting? Put him in cuffs. The county board chairman doesn’t care for your tone?

Try on these orange pajamas.

They don’t do that because citizens rightly would be up in arms. Why should it be any different when they do it to journalists?

Information is power. And hiding information, avoiding questions, throwing cloaks over what should be transparent are all means of trying to maintain power. It’s not about whether one reporter’s personality quirks are annoying or not. Being annoying isn’t a crime. It’s about trying to control people who are seeking information for dissemination to the public.

Using the power of the police to stifle that process is a vile attack on the First Amendment.

That’s why we need to come to the defense of people such as Heyman and anyone like him.

Woman who lost son to rare disorder passes on her compassion

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Although Denise Meschewski’s first child, Sarah, was born healthy, her two sons, Jacob and Marc, were born with CHIME syndrome – a rare recessive disorder that causes heart defects, seizures and intellectual disabilities, among other side effects.

The disorder is so rare that the Meschewski family said that Jacob was the only case of it the doctors said they had seen at the time.

A year ago in March, the 61-yearold Crystal Lake mom lost her youngest son, Marc, after complications from the disorder.

Marc’s death came just a couple of months before Mother’s Day. “It doesn’t get any easier,” Meschewski said. “Being a year later really doesn’t make it any better.”

When Marc and Jacob were growing up, Meschewski had to give up her job to care for her children and help them with everyday activities such as getting dressed, going to the bathroom and bathing.

“They weren’t able to do those kind of things on their own,” Meschewski said.

During that time, Meschewski was looking to address a lack of adult programming for recent high school graduates with mental and physical challenges. Meschewski and two other moms started their own program, the McHenry County Adult Program, known as McCAP. The nonprofit helps young adults with special needs in McHenry County. Today, the program is run out of the McHenry County Mental Health Board building.

After Marc’s death, Meschewski decided to leave the program 15 years after its creation.

“We joined a new program at the time and decided to send Jake there instead,” said Bob Meschewski, Denise’s husband. “In a way, it was a new start. We didn’t want Jake to go to the [McHenry County Adult] Program and wonder where his brother was.”

Both Jacob and Marc eventually became sick, and they had about 18 hospitalizations at one point between the two. Denise was con-

“She’s just been so resilient and caring through all the challeng-

es given to her,” Bob Meschewski said. “Denise has dedicated her life to raising, caring for and doing whatever it takes for her children.

She’s really given them everything she can.”

Jacob eventually recovered, but Marc kept getting weaker with each hospitalization before he died. Sunday marks Denise’s second Mother’s Day without her youngest son.

“As you can imagine, with Mother’s Day coming up, it’s going to be tough on her because her family is no longer intact,” Bob Meschewski said.

Even though she’ll be thinking of her son throughout the day, Denise said her Mother’s Day plans include possibly visiting her mother-in-law and going on a “nice walk.”

“I love the outdoors,” said Denise, whose favorite activities include camping and going to concerts.

Bob Meschewski said a lot of his wife’s caring nature and desire to help others rubbed off on their

Police shoot inmate after hostage situation at hospital

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com GENEVA – An officer was shot and a Kane County inmate is dead after a hostage situation Saturday at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva.

About 1 p.m. Saturday, an inmate from the Kane County Jail who was be-

ing treated at the hospital disarmed a corrections officer and took two nurses hostage. After an hours-long standoff, a police SWAT team broke in and fatally shot the man.

A police officer was shot during the incident as well. He was wearing protective gear and has since been released from treatment.

The Illinois State Police are investigating the incident.

Tywon Salters, 21, of Chicago had been at the hospital receiving treatment since May 8. He had been held at the jail on charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, police said.

Other Seegers Grain Corp. is a prominent business in Ridgefield today. Back in the 1880s, the grain mill in this January 1889 photo, the “Davis Mill,” was just as important. Although the owner of the mill after 1890 was Ben Throop, the mill was known to all as the Davis Mill since it originally was built by Alvin Davis. In the days when it was not always possible to go to the grocery store to buy bread, a “flouring mill” was of critical importance to a community. Davis, who came to Ridgefield with his parents in the mid-1850s, served as postmaster in Ridgefield starting in 1877. When his wife, Emily, died in 1890, he retired to live in Chicago. He died in June 1920 and is buried with his wife in the Ridgefield cemetery. Local historian and re-enactor Ed O’Brien will assume the guise of Gen. John L. “Black Jack” Pershing, commander of American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I, at 3 p.m. Monday at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St. Pershing, the most celebrated soldier of his time, is worth remembering as our nation marks the 100th anniversary of its entry into the war.

McHenry County Board to take vote on obtaining federal lobbyist

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A new government in Washington – and a new president who wants to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure nationwide – is prompting the McHenry County Board to again hire a federal lobbyist.

County Board members are scheduled to vote Tuesday evening whether to hire Washington, D.C.-based The National Group at a cost of $45,000 for one year. But some members expressed concerns during the pre-vote discussion at Thursday morning’s Committee of the Whole.

The County Board for years during the Barack Obama presidency hired the services of another lobbying group.

However, the decision by the U.S. House in 2011 to ban earmarks – the county’s main reason for hiring a lobbyist is to steer federal dollars locally – made hir-

ing a lobbyist less and less lucrative.

The County Board let that lobbyist contract lapse about 2½ years ago.

Some, such as board member Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry, echoed past opposition on ethical grounds.

“Philosophically, I am not a proponent of the County Board, or any government entity who collects and spends taxpayer dollars, hiring outside firms for the lobbying of another entity – the federal government, who collects and spends taxpayer dollars – to encourage them to spend dollars,” Wilcox said.

But with Donald Trump in the White House – who as some board members noted Thursday has no ties to Illinois, unlike the previous president – a number of board members see the value in having one, especially since voters in November also left the House and Senate in Republican control.

Law and Government Committee Chairwoman Michele Aavang, R-Wood-

stock, said that county taxpayers deserve to get more of a return on their federal taxes. Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, reiterated the complaint that past chairmen have – that the county is a “donor” that sends off far more tax money than it gets.

“I think [residents] would like to see some of that federal tax money come back to the county,” Aavang said.

Franks said that both of the county’s House representatives – Republicans Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren – encouraged the county to hire a lobbyist when Franks met them in February.

“I know that if we don’t have a seat at the table, we’re not going to get anything,” Franks said.

The County Board voting meeting starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

McHENRY – John Smith was looking to attract more people to downtown McHenry.

The McHenry resident then bought the former Hostess building in summer 2014. Smith said that when he bought the vacant building, he knew he wanted to use it to help out the city, but he didn’t initially intend to turn it into a venue for events.

“As I started refurbishing it and it took shape, I started realizing that there were a few good uses for it, and one of them I thought of was to turn it into an event center,” Smith said.

After undergoing exterior and interior renovations, Smith’s Central Garage officially opened in March.

The garage is located at 3315 Pearl St., McHenry, across the street from Veterans Memorial Park.

With 3,500 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space, Smith’s Central Garage can host weddings, showers, birthday parties, family parties, holiday parties and corporate events.

tables, chairs, garbage disposal, free WiFi and a sound system. The venue is handicap accessible.

“We are kind of a blank canvas,” venue manager Jillian Giese said. “We have it so you get to bring in your own food, drink and decorations. We have it so it’s really flexible for different events.”

To get the word out to the public and show people what it has to offer, Smith’s Central Garage held an open house Thursday night.

“This is proof that the city can become vibrant once again,” Smith said.

“I think that’s a very important message that downtowns can be rebuilt and reinvigorated.”

The new business is working with the city to get a permit to install sprinklers, which will allow the venue’s capacity to expand to about 300 people, Smith said.

Smith also is planning to add an outdoor seating area.

The venue center’s rates are $75 an hour Mondays through Thursdays and $125 an hour Fridays through Sundays.

Reservations can be made by visiting www.smithscentralgarage.com.

Ruzanski officially replaces Mulcahy as village president

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills has a new village president.

Russ Ruzanski was sworn in at Thursday’s Village Board meeting, replacing former Village President Paul Mulcahy.

“My faith is strong, and I plan on administering to this village through that faith that I have,” Ruzanski said.

“I want to thank the Board of Trustees for giving their complete support this evening, and my family for being here.”

Ruzanski had been a Lake in the Hills trustee since 2011 and served on the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Business Relations Committee before that. He is an active member of Living Waters Lutheran Church and a volunteer at the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry.

Part of what prompted Ruzanski to

“I would just like to say thank you to everyone with whom I’ve served in the last 20 years as an appointed or elected official.”

Russ Ruzanski

Lake in the Hills village president run for the position was when Mulcahy was charged in November with domestic battery.

Mulcahy had been president since 2013 after serving as a trustee and the Planning and Zoning Commission chairman for nearly 20 years.

At Thursday’s meeting, Mulcahy

told the audience that his time with the village has been satisfying “and sometimes a whole lot of fun.”

“I would just like to say thank you to everyone with whom I’ve served in the last 20 years as an appointed or elected official,” Mulcahy said. “Thank you for your support, thank you for your help, thank you for all the things that you’ve taught me.”

A new village clerk and trustee also were sworn in Thursday. Crystal Ulen is replacing Village Clerk Denise Wasserman, who had served in the position since 2004.

Trustee Doug Cummings, who was filling a vacancy since June and did not seek re-election, was replaced by Bill Dustin. Dustin has served on the village’s Planning and Zoning Commission.

Ruzanski’s trustee seat remains vacant. During his campaign, Ruzanski said one of his main goals is to bring diversity to the Village Board.

Village Board to vote on proposal Tuesday

the two-way traffic in front of the store would remain by shifting the existing aisle and landscaped islands to the east.

Traffic in the drive-thru lane would flow north.

Some trustees voiced safety concerns of the new design and questioned whether someone turning out of the pharmacy lane would have enough visibility.

There would be no right turn out of the pharmacy drive-thru, plans show.

“The landscape island that they’re going to put in to designate the drive-thru aisle from the north-south frontage road is at least 15 feet wide, which is basically the length of a car,” Parkhurst said. “So people really can

turn and be perpendicular, to a T, to have better visibility there.”

Matt Levitt, manager of property sales with Meijer Real Estate, said a similar design is used at about 20 other stores, and it hasn’t presented any problems with pedestrian safety.

“If there were safety concerns with this design, we would not use it,” Levitt said.

The project was brought before the

Algonquin Committee of the Whole at its April 25 meeting, and then again at its meeting Tuesday after trustees requested more information.

On Tuesday, trustees agreed to put the item on the agenda for the next Village Board meeting for approval.

The Village Board meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Meijer, 400 S. Randall Road, is seeking a special use permit to create a drive-thru for its pharmacy.

Plans call for a pharmacy window on the front of the south end of the building, and transactions with customers would take place through a conveyor and speaker system, Algonquin Senior Planner Katie Parkhurst said.

An extension of the existing canopy would be added to cover the machines, Parkhurst said.

The existing sidewalk in front of the store and garden center would remain in place and be separated by the pharmacy drive-thru by a decorative fence 42 inches tall, according to plans.

The drive-thru lane will be separated from the main drive aisle that runs in front of Meijer by a landscaped island 15 feet wide, Parkhurst said, and

“If there were safety concerns with this design, we would not use it.”

Bloomerang Lilac this Mother’s Day! Fragrant and beautiful

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@ shawmedia.com

• HOSTAGE SITUATION Continued from page A4

The incident began on the third floor of the hospital in Salters’ room.

Salters disarmed the officer and took a nurse hostage.

The nurse got away; however, police declined to say how.

Salters then took a second nurse hostage in a different location on the third floor and proceeded downstairs to the emergency room area, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said.

Restraints were present in Salters’ room, but it’s unclear whether they were used, McMahon said.

The SWAT team tried to negotiate with Salters over the telephone for several hours, but eventually, communications broke down, which is when a decision was made to break into the room to rescue the hostage, police said.

The incident ended about 4 p.m.

Kim Waterman, media relations specialist for Northwestern Medicine, said the hospital is extremely grateful for the police response and ability to keep employees and patients safe.

She said that the hospital has policies and training in place for emergency situations such as these.

“We do a lot of training for incidents like this,” she said. “We work closely with our partners in law enforcement, so we are prepared.”

Denise helps take care of her two grandchildren.

Denise said she’s thankful her two grandchildren are healthy.

“She’s the quintessential modern mom, grandma and wife,” said Cindy Sullivan, executive director at Options and Advocacy. “I think her attitude and the love for her family is so obvious.”

Many people hear Denise’s story and say she’s extraordinary. However, the Crystal Lake mom believes she’s nothing of the sort and has lived a normal life.

“I don’t feel special at all,” Denise said. “That’s what you do when you’re a mom. You take care of your kids. You do whatever you have to.”

Gulgren is a special education teacher at Alden-Hebron Elementary School.

Gulgren said she also volunteers for Options and Advocacy for McHenry County, which helps individuals with developmental disabilities.

“I think she’s the greatest mom in the world,” Gulgren said. “I don’t think I could have asked for a better mom or a better role model. She’s the most positive, calmest person and has such a wonderful outlook on things. I think she really instilled in me important values about accepting everyone and appreciating everyone’s differences.”

Gulgren said that she doesn’t believe her family is unique but that it’s normal.

“Her and my father, I feel like always gave us situations that were very normal that every other family did,” Gulgren said. “We went camping, and we went on vacations.”

Denise said they had a poster called “Marc’s Adventures,” which had pictures that marked all the things Marc got to do before he died, such as camping trips and a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Denise also was the caretaker for her mom before she died with Alzheimer’s disease a year before Marc died, and now

American Writers Museum to open Tuesday

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The American Writers Museum, seven years in the making, is an endeavor even the most daring author might shy from: How, on a single floor of an office building, do you tell the story of centuries of American language?

The museum’s curators wanted the broadest possible concept of writing, one that includes not just novels, memoirs and poetry, but screenplays, journalism, rap lyrics, advertising slogans and even stand-up comedy. Prince and Tupac Shakur are represented along with Harper Lee and Thomas Jefferson.

Homes and institutions throughout the country are dedicated to individual authors, whether the Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, or the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, California. But this museum, opening Tuesday in Chicago, is the first to attempt a comprehensive portrait.

Chicago, centrally located and associated with great American writers such as Carl Sandburg, Nelson Algren and James T. Farrell, was deemed the ideal setting.

The museum, 11,000 square feet on the second floor of a Michigan Avenue office building between a Citibank and

Cook Co. to host event to help solve missing persons cases

CHICAGO – The medical examiner in Illinois’ biggest county has launched an initiative to help family members solve cases involving missing relatives.

Cook County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ponni Arunkumar will host a May 20 event in Chicago where family members with relatives who have been missing for more than a month can provide medical records to figure out whether there’s a match on any unidentified bodies at the morgue, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Families will also be able to submit their own DNA samples through saliva swabs.

“We’re hoping that we can provide closure to some families,” Arunkumar said. “We want to try to identify all the unknowns, especially since the last few years we’ve been doing ... all the studies

Police: Woman killed after car rams her into tree

CHICAGO – Chicago authorities said that an 18-year-old woman is dead after another woman repeatedly slammed her into a tree with her car after an argument.

Police said the incident happened about 11 p.m. Friday on the city’s South Side.

Authorities said the 18-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 24-year-old woman is in custody and charges are pending.

Authorities allege that after an argument the 24-year-old got into a car and chased the other woman onto a sidewalk and then pushed the woman into a tree with a car, ramming her with the vehicle multiple times.

Wall displays summarize everything from the “evolution” of bookstores to “Voices of Dissent.”

Relying mostly on private funding, the American Writers Museum was conceived in 2010 by Malcolm O’Hagan, former CEO of a manufacturing trade organization who was inspired by the Dublin Writers Museum in Ireland.

“The goal is to tell the story, and stories, of the American contribution to human literary expression,” said Max Rudin, a member of the museum’s content leadership team and publisher of the Library of America, which issues hardcover editions of classic American writings. “And [we seek] to do it in ways that capture the energy of our uniquely democratic literary culture in all its diversity and sometimes even its eccentricity.”

“When people think of writers and writing, you think novels, and that can kind of come off as stale,” said the museum’s director of operations, Christopher Burrow. “So we wanted to make it modern, interactive, and bring the past to the present and inspire the next generation of writers.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that a damaged Jeep Liberty with wood chunks in its smashed bumper was found about a half mile from the scene.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS N. Korea test-fires missile, into one of the world’s most challenging leader in South important Catholic shrines.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Sunday test-launched a ballistic missile that flew as far as 500 miles before landing in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean, Japanese and U.S. militaries said. The launch is a direct challenge to the new South Korean president elected four days ago and comes as U.S., Japanese and European militaries gather for joint war games in the Pacific.

It wasn’t immediately clear what type of ballistic missile was launched, although the U.S. Pacific Command said that “the flight is not consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile.”

Outside militaries will closely analyze what the North fired.

While Pyongyang regularly tests shorter-range missiles, it also is working to master the technology needed to field nuclear-tipped missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland.

Pope makes 2 Portuguese shepherd children saints

FATIMA, Portugal – Pope Francis added two Portuguese shepherd children to the roster of Catholic saints Saturday, honoring young siblings whose reported visions of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago turned the Portuguese farm town of Fatima

Francis proclaimed Francisco and Jacinta Marto saints at the start of Mass marking the centenary of their visions. A half-million people watched in the vast square in front of the shrine’s basilica, the Vatican said, citing Portuguese authorities. Many had spent days at Fatima in prayer, reciting rosaries before a statue of the Madonna. They clapped as soon as Francis read the proclamation aloud.

Activists: Kurdish-led forces advance on IS-held Raqqa

BEIRUT – Syrian Kurdish-led forces were closing in Saturday on the de-facto capital of the Islamic State group in Syria, seizing a cotton mill only a couple of miles north of the city and clashing with the militant group on a number of fronts, activists and Kurdish media reported.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by U.S-led coalition airstrikes, advanced as they clashed with the militants in a multi-pronged offensive northeast and northwest of the city.

The offensive brings the SDF 2.5 miles from the northeast of the city, the Observatory said.

Global cyberattack seeks cash for data

By SYLVIA HUI, ALLEN G. BREED and JIM HEINTZ The Associated Press

LONDON – A global “ransomware” cyberattack, unprecedented in scale, had technicians scrambling to restore Britain’s crippled hospital network Saturday and secure the computers that run factories, banks, government agencies and transport systems in many other nations.

The worldwide effort to extort cash from computer users spread so widely that Microsoft quickly changed its policy, making security fixes available for free for the older Windows systems still used by millions of individuals and smaller businesses.

A malware tracking map showed “WannaCry” infections popping up around the world. Britain canceled or delayed treatments for thousands of patients, even people with cancer. Train systems were hit in Germany and Russia, and phone companies in Madrid and Moscow. Renault’s futuristic assembly line in Slovenia, where rows of robots weld car bodies together, was stopped cold.

In Brazil, the social security system had to disconnect its computers and cancel public access. The state-owned oil company Petrobras and Brazil’s Foreign Ministry also disconnected computers as a precautionary measure, and court systems went down, too.

Britain’s home secretary said one in five of 248 National Health Service groups had been hit. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said all but six of the NHS trusts back to normal Saturday.

The U.K.’s National Cyber Security Center was “working round the clock” to restore vital health services, while urging people to update security software fixes, run anti-virus software and back up their data elsewhere.

Who perpetrated this wave of attacks remains unknown.

AP photo

A display panel shows an error Friday at the main railway station in Chemnitz, Germany. Germany’s national railway said that it was among the organizations affected by the global cyberattack, but there was no effect on train services.

Two security firms – Kaspersky Lab and Avast – said they identified the malicious software in more than 70 countries. Both said Russia was hit hardest.

These hackers “have caused enormous amounts of disruption – probably the biggest ransomware cyberattack in history,” said Graham Cluley, a veteran of the anti-virus industry in Oxford, England.

And all this may be just a taste of what’s coming, another cyber security expert warned.

Computer users worldwide – and everyone else who depends on them – should assume that the next big “ransomware” attack has already been launched, and just hasn’t manifested itself yet, Ori Eisen, who founded the Trusona cybersecurity firm in Scottsdale, Arizona, told The Associated Press.

The attack held hospitals and other entities hostage by freezing computers, encrypting data and demanding money through online bitcoin payments. But it appears to be “low-level” stuff, Eisen said Saturday, given the amount of ransom demanded – $300 at first, rising to $600 before it destroys files hours later. He said the same thing could be done to crucial infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants, dams or railway systems.

“This is child’s play, what happened. This is not the seri-

ous stuff yet. What if the same thing happened to 10 nuclear power plants, and they would shut down all the electricity to the grid? What if the same exact thing happened to a water dam or to a bridge?” he asked.

“Today, it happened to 10,000 computers,” Eisen said.

“There’s no barrier to do it tomorrow to 100 million computers.”

This is already believed to be the biggest online extortion attack ever recorded, disrupting services in nations as diverse as the U.S., Ukraine, Brazil, Spain and India. Europol, the European Union’s police agency, said the onslaught was at “an unprecedented level and will require a complex international investigation to identify the culprits.”

In Russia, government agencies insisted that all attacks had been resolved. Russian Interior Ministry, which runs the national police, said the problem had been “localized” with no information compromised.

Russia’s health ministry said its attacks were “effectively repelled.”

The ransomware exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that was purportedly identified by the U.S. National Security Agency for its own intelligence-gathering purposes. Hackers said they stole the tools from the NSA and dumped them on the internet.

Trump: ‘Fast decision’ possible on new FBI director

By SADIE GURMAN and DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Saturday that “we can make a fast decision” on a new FBI director, possibly by late next week, before he leaves on his first foreign trip since taking office.

“Even that is possible,” Trump told reporters when asked whether he could announce his nominee by Friday, when he is scheduled to leave for the Mideast and Europe.

Eight candidates to be the bureau’s director were in line Saturday for the first interviews with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, at Justice Department headquarters. They are among more than a dozen candidates Trump is considering, a group that includes several lawmakers, attorneys and law enforcement officials.

“I think the process is going to go quickly. Almost all of them are very well-known,” Trump said aboard the plane that took him to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he gave the commencement address at Liberty University.

“They’ve been vetted over their lifetime essentially, but very well-known, highly respected, really talented people. And

court; GOP Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate leader and a former Texas attorney general; and U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, a George W. Bush appointee who struck down the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s health care law in 2010.

Frances Townsend, former homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to President George W. Bush, and former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers also met with Justice officials.

Rogers came endorsed by the FBI Agents Association, which said his diverse background makes him the best choice for the job. He is the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who also worked as an FBI special agent based in Chicago in the 1990s.

Fisher and Townsend were the only women on the list of candidates. The FBI has never had a female director.

Each has worked in high-profile positions in the Justice Department.

Fisher formerly served as assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. She faced resistance from Democrats during her confirmation over her alleged participation in discussions about detention policies at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba.

Discussion with U.S. requires ‘conditions’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Choe Son Hui (left), the top North Korean diplomat who handles relations with the U.S., walks before her departure Saturday for Pyongyang, North Korea, at Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing. Choi said Pyongyang would be willing to meet with the Trump administration for negotiations “if the conditions are set.” tion said it would keep “all options on the table” to halt North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, including a military strike. The North responded by pledging to retaliate with a devastating nuclear counterattack, a threat it has made in

the past. In recent weeks, North Korea has arrested two American university instructors and laid out what it claimed to be a CIA-backed plot to assassinate Kim. Choe did not address the matter of the detained Americans on Saturday.

MINYA, Egypt – An Egyptian archaeological mission has found a necropolis holding at least 17 mummies near the Nile Valley city of Minya, in the first such find in the area, the antiquities ministry said on Saturday.

The discovery was made in the village of Tuna al-Gabal, a vast archaeological site on the edge of the western desert. The area hosts a large necropolis for thousands of mummified ibis and baboon birds as well as other animals.

It includes tombs and a funerary building.

“It’s the first human necropolis to be found here in Tuna al-Gabal,” Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani told reporters at the site, about 135 miles south of Cairo. The mummies were elaborately preserved, therefore likely belonging to officials and priests, he said. The new discovery also includes six sarcophagi, two clay coffins, two papyri written in demotic script as well as a number of vessels, he said. The necropolis, which is 8 meters below ground, dates to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt and the Greco-Roman period, the minister noted.

BEIJING – A top North Korean diplomat said Saturday that Pyongyang would be willing to meet with the Trump administration for negotiations “if the conditions are set.”

Choe Son Hui, director general for North American Affairs at the Foreign Ministry, spoke briefly to reporters in Beijing en route to Pyongyang. She was traveling from Norway, where she led a delegation that held an informal meeting with former U.S. officials and scholars.

Choe did not elaborate on what the North’s conditions are, but her comments raise the possibility of North Korea and the U.S. returning to negotiations for the first time since 2008, when six-nation talks over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program fell apart.

President Donald Trump opened the door this month to talks, saying he would be “honored” to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Tensions have mounted in recent months after the Trump administra-

OUR VIEW

Time is now for electronic voting

During its meeting Tuesday, the McHenry County Board is expected to vote on rule changes to allow electronic voting. If the rules are approved, the system will be used during the board’s June meeting.

It’s about time.

The electronic voting system would increase transparency during board meetings and conform to Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, such as providing a visual vote tally catering to hearing-impaired constituents who cannot follow the voice vote or streaming. It’s a somewhat small change – by no means radical – and similar systems are used by governing bodies across the country, and have been for years.

Yet McHenry County’s new electronic voting system has sat abandoned for the first half of the year, the county paying about $1,000 a month out of the County Clerk’s budget for the upkeep of software that is not being used.

The board first tried to incorporate electronic voting during its January meeting, but several members balked.

They complained they weren’t brought into the decision-making process for the new system. County Clerk Mary McClellan explained the project did not get bid out because it was an update to the board’s existing audio streaming and agenda management software. Going through the process of selecting a different company would have required a completely new – and more expensive – software package purchase.

Board members objected because they hadn’t been trained on how to use the system, which basically is an app that runs on their county-issued iPads. McClellan completed training with all board members by its February meeting.

They said existing rules only referred to voice votes, which seems like a bureaucratic technicality that should have been easily fixable. It wasn’t.

In February, the Internal Support and Facilities Committee reviewed the new rules with language drawn up by County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who initiated the move to the new system, but it added modifications of its own.

Franks said the committee had no jurisdiction over the County Board rules, and said he intended to advance the rules as originally written and approved by an ad hoc committee he had formed, the Committee on Governmental Accessibility.

He changed his mind, however, after speaking with Internal Support and Facilities Committee Chairwoman Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, about the committee’s concerns. He said the Committee of the Whole also had not had time to discuss the rule changes during its February meeting and pulled the vote from the February agenda.

On April 27, the Ad Hoc Committee on Governmental Accessibility approved sending the new rules to the board. Franks said the latest version incorporates improvements and addresses concerns board members had.

We certainly hope so. While we don’t doubt some board members had legitimate concerns, a five-month delay to implement a voting system proposed by the new chairman insinuates motives of obstructionism also came into play. Adjusting to change can be difficult. New technology can be glitchy. But we expect our representatives to embrace opportunities for transparency for the benefit of their constituents, and in a timely manner.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Silence on patronage jobs is deafening Unqualified? Unreasonable salary expectations? You’re hired in Illinois You are a government worker making $11,000 as a clerk in Washington Park. You want to make more.

You could go to school and improve your job skills, or you could call your political patron, state Sen. James Clayborne, and demand a state job.

When the $55,000 state offer comes, even though you have none of the qualifications, you double down on your weak hand and ask for $75,000. The Illinois Department of Transportation guy doing the hiring writes: “I don’t trust this guy at all.”

Unqualified. Demanding. Untrustworthy.

The political juice is so strong with this one you’d think he was one of Clayborne’s female friends getting a state job. Plus Mr. Untrustworthy is hired to buy land for the state – no possibility of corruption there, right?

Three more instances of Clayborne pushing people on IDOT came out as the result of an investigation ordered by a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit to expose Illinois patronage hiring at IDOT. Clerks became engineers.

Cell phone salesmen became emergency hires. Required competition for jobs was quashed.

State Rep. Jay Hoffman did the same thing, dumping his intern on IDOT. “Her resume does not reflect qualifications to fulfill

the stated duties of the staff assistant position description,” the report said.

And when both Clayborne and Hoffman were called for comment on creating patronage jobs where none should exist, neither thought the public deserved any answers or denials.

Silence, just like we get on any issue from cursive handwriting to where they stand on a balanced state budget.

Rod Blagojevich was pretty open about his view on patronage hires and power politics, even trying to sell Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat. But it appears “the reformer” administration of Gov. Pat Quinn raised it to a fine art, with 70 IDOT jobs going to the politically connected.

IDOT is supposed to be engineers building transportation networks and improving safety on them. Giving some village clerk a jackpot job buying land with tax dollars is not supposed to be in the equation.

Gov. Bruce Rauner cleaned out a bunch of the IDOT patronage hires, but 36 improperly hired folks remain and are protected by unions. Here’s hoping this lawsuit keeps creating a harsh glare that sends at least some cockroaches scurrying.

We’re starting to think some cockroaches could survive a nuclear disaster, or re-election.

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.

– Belleville News-Democrat

“By 1908, the time was right for a new kind of agency to protect America.

The United States was, well, united, with its borders stretching from coast to coast and only two landlocked states left to officially join the union. Inventions like the telephone, the telegraph, and the railroad had seemed to shrink its vast distances even as the country had spread west. ... America was ... a new world power on the block, thanks to its naval victory over Spain.”

– From an FBI official history

In the 20th century, Republicans and Democrats didn’t agree on much, but more often than not, they shared a sense of core national interests, and, following from that, a sense of who federal detectives and spies might appropriately target (even when that consensus led to excesses, such as CIA domestic surveillance and the FBI’s campaign against the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.).

To the extent it guided their oversight of intelligence agencies, that baseline consensus overcame the politicians’ qualms about the undeniable tension between democratic norms on the one hand and the dark arts of surveillance on the other.

As Trump’s bold decapitation of the FBI, and the reaction to it, illustrate, however, this massive agency - 14,000 special agents, an $8.7 billion annual budget - has outlasted the national consensus that gave it life, and upon which its legitimacy ultimately rested.

We are about to learn whether such an institution can preserve its professionalism, and its ethos of nonpartisan national service, at a time when its supposed political masters have lost theirs.

It is a dangerous moment, because

history shows that partisan control is the hallmark of illegitimate spying, and that politicized law-enforcement and intelligence cannot be squared with democracy.

What made East Germany’s Stasi so pernicious, for example, was not its pervasive snooping per sé, but that a single political party directed the surveillance according to its own selfish interests, as defined by a constantly shifting “line.”

Trump’s ouster of FBI Director James Comey, amid an investigation of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election that Trump won, reeks of self-serving political manipulation, no matter how hard the president and his minions spin it as an attempt to redeem the FBI. What’s also troubling, from the perspective of consensual governance, is that Democrats’ objections to the firing are themselves less than principled unavoidably so, given their own grudge against Comey for rekindling the email investigation of Hillary Clinton in the final days of the campaign.

The essence of the predicament is that Comey did, indeed, play a part in the election, a fact that itself guaranteed that the winner, whoever it was, could not deal straightforwardly with him.

Imagine if it had been Clinton: What would she have done with Comey - if he didn’t resign and trigger bitter GOP resistance to the person she chose to replace him?

A big dilemma now, of course, is

that anyone Trump might pick to run the FBI would carry the stigma of being selected with the same hand that dispatched Comey.

The search is on for an independent person, or group of them, to set this convoluted situation right: a special prosecutor, perhaps, or an independent commission, or aroused Senate Republicans, newly conscious of their constitutional duties.

In Washington’s not-too-distant past, such honest brokers could be readily identified and agreed upon: special prosecutor Leon Jaworski to carry on the Watergate investigation after the “Saturday Night Massacre” in 1973; or the members of the commission to investigate the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Today? Not so easy. Comey, as it happens, used to be on everyone’s straight-shooter list, respected for his 2004 threat to resign unless President George W. Bush limited some surveillance Comey deemed unlawful.

In hindsight, Comey’s 2016 performance looks like an attempt to spend that moral capital on behalf of the FBI’s reputation, and his own - while politicos all about him were losing theirs and blaming it on him. Look where he is now.

Dreams or nightmares?

To the Editor: Most people have dreams – a good future, home, health, economic security, safe children, a decent retirement.

What are Paul Ryan’s and the Republican’s dreams? Consider Ryan’s recent

quote that destroying Obamacare was “what they (GOP) have been dreaming about.” The pictures of those 217 celebrating turned my stomach. Here’s more GOP dreams. Destroy Medicare (42-year-old GOP dream). Destroy protections that would prevent another 2008 meltdown and hand Social Security over to Wall Street. Bet you’re dreaming about bailing out banks again. Dreams to remove EPA protections. No big deal if a refinery is making “others” sick. More GOP dreams about walls and removing safety nets and taking away rights. Not secrets if you’re paying attention.

Your elected GOP and president are having gleeful, vengeful dreams about harming your family and your community’s futures.

Indeed, GOP “dreams” will be your future nightmares. These nightmares won’t just be at 3 a.m., they will come in your paychecks, your doctor’s offices, your schools and community, your bank account, your child’s asthma attack from unchecked pollution, your retirement money. But, if

you vote for Republicans Randy Hultgren and Adam Kinzinger, I assume these are your dreams also. So sweet dreams.

Me? Thanks for the nightmares.

Hebron pride

To the Editor: The Village of Hebron has been in the news recently and you might think that only two things are notable about this pleasant town, problems with village government and a phenomenal basketball team, but it also is the location of New Horizons, a unique homeless shelter for veterans, and the home town of Elmer Charles Bigelow, a sailor who died saving his ship during World War II and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Hebron residents should be justifiably proud.

There’s a certain serendipity in President Donald Trump’s precipitation of crisis at the Federal Bureau of investigation on the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into World War I. America’s federal law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, of which the FBI (or its precursors) was among the first, took shape in the 20th century.

Their rise is inseparable from that period’s dominant themes: national growth, international extension and, comparatively speaking, political consensus.

Certainly, the bitter partisanship of the 19th century, culminating in the Civil War and Reconstruction, helped prevent the development of an American counterpart to, say, the centralized detective force that Joseph Fouché built in France. No party in Congress trusted the other sufficiently to create a secret, or semi- secret, agency that might later be turned against it.

Don’t heed bad advice from a bad friend

Dear Dave: My husband and I are currently in Baby Step 2, and paying off all our debt except for our home.

A friend recently told us to pay off everything except for the credit card debt. She says we can then settle for a far less amount and not have so much money going out the door.

This feels a little unethical to me.

What are your thoughts? – Jennifer Dear Jennifer: There’s a good reason this idea feels unethical to you – it is unethical!

Would a good friend, a smart friend, encourage you to do something as dishonorable as not pay a bill you’re morally and legally obligated to pay? I don’t think so.

If you’re able to pay your bills, you pay your bills. It’s as simple as that. Now, if you honestly can’t pay the bill, and you have to set-

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey tle upon a mutually agreed upon amount with the creditor or collector, then it’s okay at that point to try and reach a settlement.

Otherwise, it’s a simple question of ethics. Pay the bill!

Dear Dave: Our son is 13, and he wants to give half the money he received for his birthday to the nursery at our church.

They need new baby toys and things like that. Should we let him give that much, or should we tell him that maybe 25 percent is enough? – Kyle Dear Kyle: I hope you’re proud of

this kid. He’s a got a good heart, and it’s probably a reflection of the way his mom and dad are raising him. I like this a lot.

I would very gently, and without any commanding or control verbiage, use some examples from the Bible when talking to him. There are several things to be learned about money from Scripture, and the concepts of generosity and giving are in there.

There’s also a verse that says we need to take care of our own households first. Another one says in the house of the wise are stores of food and oil.

We need to do all of these things with money – in balance. Thoughtfully and prayerfully decide what your giving amount will be, so that you don’t destroy your ability to

save and do other important things.

Talk to him about these concepts, then ask him to wait two or three days and think about his decision.

If he comes back and says he still wants to give half of it, I would encourage him to do so. But slow things down a little, and make sure this isn’t a knee-jerk reaction.

You need to be a wise giver, not an impulsive giver!

Mom’s long-distance advice isn’t what teen wants to hear Dear Abby: I am 17 and dating a 16-year-old girl. My mother lives a few states away. Every time we talk she tells me to spend less time with my girlfriend. It always seems like she’s trying to break us up. Please give me advice. I want her to want me to be in the relationship I’m in and to let me stay with her. – Teen In Love In Pennsylvania Dear Teen: Regardless of what you

may think about what your mother is telling you, she is not the “enemy.”

She may be worried the more time you spend with your girlfriend, the less you will have to devote to your studies, sports, friends, etc. – all of which are important at your age. The two of you need to talk further about this, so there are no misunderstandings or hurt feelings.

P.S. Because your mother lives out

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips of state, I assume you are living with your father or some other relative/ guardian. It might be enlightening to know what the other adults in your life think about the amount of time you’re spending with your girlfriend.

Perhaps you should ask them.

Dear Abby: I am struggling to adapt to our accelerating technological world. When I remove myself from the rapid information cycle of the internet and social media, I feel the world is passing me by. I have tried to find a balance, but the ubiquity of technology and our cultural reliance on the internet leave me feeling like I have only

two options at any given time – connection or disconnection – and neither one feels entirely healthy to me.

This isn’t the first case of technological advancement leading to rapid cultural change and a sense of dislocation, but at the current rate, it may be the most extreme. This is to say nothing of the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in our lives.

Do you have any advice for maintaining one’s humanity while remaining culturally relevant in our increasingly technology-dependent world? – Float-

won’t miss much because the information will find its way to you.

Dear Abby: What is the proper way to handle the situation when you catch the host of a party double- or triple-dipping into a bowl? – Ick! In

er to find a balance, because if you constantly are online, you will be swamped. Sometimes we must disconnect and enjoy the “real world” without the constant interruption of the latest news cycle. Trust me. You

Abby

ing In The Digital Age Dear Floating: Just this: Try hard-

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

consuming anything from that bowl.

Dear Readers: Happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere. This includes birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers who are raising grandchildren, and dual-role dads. Orchids to all of you for the love you give every day. – Love,

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Bring it all together. Past ideas, people you enjoy collaborating with and the things you have discovered throughout your life’s journey will lead to a new way to direct your energy, skills and talents. Communicate, negotiate and put everything in place, and victory will be yours to enjoy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your interest in different cultures or lifestyles will take you on a hunt for inner peace. Sign up for a retreat or take some time to figure out what makes you happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Truth is required if

you aren’t ready to move forward with someone or something you’ve been toying with.

Denying responsibility will upset someone who feels you should be held accountable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will intensify if you don’t deal with a toxic situation. Make a decision and follow through on it instead of complaining and carrying on. End whatever isn’t working for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Someone who is all talk and no action will take advantage of you.

Don’t give in to someone’s flattery. You’ll feel used if you are left doing all the work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Being a team player will make a difference in the way your day unfolds. Be willing to do your part and to take

an interest in what others do as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t worry if someone opposes your plans. Emotions will be difficult to deal with, but in the end, a detailed description of what you want to do will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Look back and talk to people from your past in order to get a clear picture of your accomplishments and the goals you have yet to achieve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Trouble will develop if you can’t get along with others.

A child or a past rival will question your motives if you aren’t clear about what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take a secretive approach to how and when you execute

your personal plans. Too much too fast will lead to a problem finishing what you start.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll have good ideas that should be shared. Offer your help to a group that can use a fresh approach to dealing with an important cause.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Consider what you need to do to reach your dreams. A wellthought-out plan is a good place to begin.

Call someone who can help you achieve your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take it easy. Don’t let the little things get to you. An emotional slump could ruin your day and upset someone you love. Be willing to compromise to avoid discord.

2 BASEBALL: HUNTLEY 2, CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 1 (8 INN.)

Gamble pays off for Huntley

Speedy Costantino waved home with winning run on Rizzo’s 8th-inning single

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The pitchers from Crystal Lake South and Huntley made it so difficult on hitters that it turned their coaches into gamblers.

Both South’s Brian Bogda and Huntley’s Andy Jakubowski were desperate enough to score they tossed caution out the window, which paid huge dividends for Huntley in the bottom of the eighth inning.

The Red Raiders’ Joe Rizzo came up with two outs and pinch runner Chris Costantino, one of Huntley’s fastest players, on second base. Rizzo’s single to left field did not look near deep enough to score Costantino, but Jakubowski waved him home anyway.

South left fielder Michael Swiatly seemed to be caught off-guard as well.

He double-pumped before throwing home, and the ball went over catcher Ryan Parquette’s head as Costantino slid home, giving the Raiders a 2-1 Fox Valley Conference baseball victory.

Huntley (25-5 overall, 17-3 FVC) and South (26-3, 17-3) are now tied with four remaining conference games. They play their series finale at 4:30 p.m. Monday at South. “(Jakubowski) sent me all the way,” Costantino said. “I saw that (Swiatly) had it, but I didn’t know how close he was. I thought he threw it right away.

I just put my head down and tried to score.”

The win was Huntley’s fourth walkoff win in FVC play. Rizzo embraced the opportunity to end the game.

“I hit it and was like, ‘All right, we got (Chris) over (to third),’ ” Rizzo said.

“I don’t know what happened out there, but coach was sending him all the way.

I thought he was crazy, but it worked out. It’s a great feeling to turn around at first base and see a mob coming at you.

You see Jeff (Heinrich) coming at you, it’s a big guy, it’s a little scary. I hit the ground pretty fast, I’m not getting tackled. I may have to catch the next game.”

South beat Huntley, 1-0, on Thursday, so by the end of the seventh inning, the two teams had produced one run in 14 innings. The Gators’ Brent Chubb was thrown out twice at third base, once on a steal, once trying to go first-to-third on a single, as Bogda pressed the issue.

“I was trying to be aggressive,” Bogda said. “The way the wind was blowing (in), the way Cameron (Reed)

Losses by one run for McHenry this season after defeat Saturday against Jacobs.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Jacobs coach Jamie Murray expect standout outfielder Mike Addante to return from a knee injury for Monday’s game with McHenry, which is the series finale. riors in the Fox Valley Conference series.

“It can be tough,” said Klein of coming off the bench in a big spot. “Coach called my name and I knew I had to put a good at-bat together. I was just looking for pitches that I could hit and put a good swing on in both at-bats, and

luckily I got the job done.”

Klein’s walk-off winner salvaged a strong start from fellow sophomore Anthony Wilson. The right-hander made two mistakes Saturday morning, both of which landed over the fence off the bats of McHenry left-handers Bobby Miller and Colton Klein.

Wilson left the game after Miller’s opposite-field shot in the fifth inning, trailing 3-1.

Despite failing to find a hit with early opportunities, Jacobs coach Jamie Murray was happy with the way his team continued to battle for a huge victory he feels can give his group momentum with the postseason not too far away.

“The whole game, you’re fighting and playing what you feel is a pretty strong game,” Murray said. “But they put a couple good swings on balls and had the lead for most of today. I’m just proud of the way the guys hung in there. We’ve been through so many tough losses over the [past] three or four weeks and I think we saw growth happen today.”

As much as WIlson’s strong start was saved due to Daniel Klein’s heroics, much the same can be said about

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Continued from page 2 as Swiatly hit a line shot to right fielder Brad Model for the third out.

Jakubowski used Logan DeWulf, Cole Raines and Ethan Sund in the eighth and their ability to minimize the damage was crucial.

“Unfortunately, we gave up a run, but the last two guys came in and we got out of the inning,” Jakubowski said. “A 1-0 game is a lot different than a 3-0 or 4-0 ballgame. That changed the complexion. When we got a single, it put a lot of pressure on them to make plays.”

Heinrich led off the eighth with a hit and was bunted to second by Noah Konie. Model flew out, then Heinrich reached third on a wild pitch. South reliever Mark Paul had a full count on Adam Smylie, who tied the score with a bad-hop single toward shortstop Kory Olsen. As Olsen was down for the ball, it hopped high and bounced off his right shoulder.

Costantino pinch ran for Smylie and moved to second in a passed ball to set up Rizzo’s winning hit. “(Olsen) is taking it hard,” Bogda said. “It took an awful hop on him. It catches him on the shoulder, what are you going to do? I knew (the bottom of the eighth) wouldn’t be easy. They had

the Warriors (17-10, 12-7) wasting Nick Morris’ quality outing, as well.

Morris left the game with that two-run lead, striking our four while allowing just three hits and one unearned run on a wild pitch.

The Golden Eagles then were able to scratch across three runs off reliever Dylan Honkala after McHenry was unable to extend its lead.

“It seems like it’s been the story of our losses this season,” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said. “When we fail to capitalize on opportunities, it’s come back to hurt us in our losses.

You saw that happen again today and (Jacobs) made us pay for it.”

Miller and teammate Nick Finley reached base three times each in the loss for the Warriors, while Liam Oreskovich added a double and run scored for Jacobs.

Sund finally ended an eventful eighth inning when he got Crystal Lake South’s Michael Swiatly for the final out on a line drive to right fielder Brad Model.

ALGONQUIN – Sometimes the right player steps in the batter’s box at the right time.

Looking for that one big hit all day, Jacobs saw sophomore Daniel Klein come up for his first at-bat of the game as its final hope with two outs, trailing by two with the tying runs in scoring position.

Klein hit a fly ball to left field that found the grass, scoring both runs to extend the game before he eventually won it for the Golden Eagles, 4-3, in his next at-bat with a walk-off single in the ninth inning.

After hitting an important, game-tying home run earlier in the week, Klein came through once again as his line-drive base hit to left field scored teammate Bryce Vincent to level Jacobs (16-15, 7-13 FVC) with the War-

‘A big positive for us’

Jacobs wins second straight FVC tournament championship

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Jacobs’ Kerwin Chong wasn’t happy with a first-set loss to Crystal Lake South’s Nick Thome in the Fox Valley Conference No. 1 singles championship match Saturday at Prairie Ridge.

“The first set I was a little timid, a little tight,” Chong said.

He turned it around and swept the final two sets to cement an overall team conference title for Jacobs. Cary-Grove finished second and Huntley took third.

“Across the board, having the whole team do well, bringing the whole group here and making it through the first round (Friday) was a big positive for us,” Jacobs coach Jon Betts said.

For Chong, a junior, it’s his third FVC title in three different flights. He and his brother Kendrick Chong won at No. 2 doubles in 2015 and again at No. 1 doubles last year. Now he can say he’s a singles champion, as well.

After going down early against Thome, he changed his mentality.

“I played like I was the underdog,” Chong said. “I played like the other guy was winning. I play better that way.”

A Jacobs player has won four consecutive No. 1 singles titles in the FVC tournament after Kailash Panchapake-

Jacobs also had wins Saturday from Ryan Elliott and Jack Nickoley at No. 3 doubles and from Brandon Jones and Mauricio Martinez at No. 4 doubles.

“It’s a relief,” Betts said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the way the guys played, especially third and fourth doubles, coming through to win.”

For the Golden Eagles, the team title

is their second consecutive.

“Our team stuck together throughout everything,” Chong said. “It was like our own match, we won as a team.”

Second-place Cary-Grove had one flight champion. Luke Weber and Kevin McDonald won at No. 2 doubles after a tough three-set win over Prairie Ridge’s Ben Lingner and Devarsi Rawal.

Weber and McDonald finish the conference season undefeated.

“We accomplished a goal that we’ve had all season,” Lamar said. “Now we’ve got to move on to sectionals.”

GIRLS SOCCER CLASS 1A REGIONALS: JOHNSBURG 2, WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN 0

By JOHN WILKINSON

q UNSUNG HERO

Kaitlyn Owen Johnsburg, fr., D

Playing in her first regional title game, the freshman Owen was one of the Skyhawks’ most steady defenders all day helping keep the shutout.

q THE NUMBER

1

shot on goal allowed by the Johnsburg defense

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Johnsburg junior Amber Humphres on being the sub-sectional’s top seed: “I definitely think that a seed doesn’t really say anything about our team. I think we have to really prove ourselves even if we’re in the first seed or we’re the last seed. We really have to prove ourselves.” we’re done.”

The Skyhawks (12-5) advance to face North Shore Country Day in a sectional semifinal on Tuesday. Johnsburg has only won one sectional title, in 2013,

when it took fourth in the state at 1A. “It feels really good,” junior Amber Humphres said. “We’re just ready to keep going and we’re going to keep going for it.”

On Saturday morning in Waukegan, the Skyhawks came out and put Westminster Christian under early pressure. Hauck scored the opener in the ninth minute, hitting a strong shot through the goalkeeper’s hands.

“I think we were communicating really well and connecting passes really well,” Hauck said of the early going.

Less than 10 minutes later, Piggott got on the end of a cross from Humphres and redirected it into the net, making it 2-0.

Johnsburg had plenty of opportunities to build on the lead, but couldn’t quite find the net. Piggott hit the crossbar early in the second half and then Humphres had two close-range headers go just wide.

The second half settled into a kind of lull, as the Skyhawks controlled the game but didn’t capitalize on their chances, though they didn’t end up needing to.

“It’s games like that actually as a coach you’re really thankful for the girls at the back that stay focused,” Eastland said. “I think our goalkeeper touched the ball once in the second half, but they make one mistake and all of a sudden you’re in a dogfight, your forwards can make 20 mistakes and it’s all good. It’s the glory of being a forward vs. the discipline of being a defender. Today I’m just really thankful for my defense.”

Johnsburg goalkeeper Jess Strzelczyk was only forced to make one save in the shutout win.

“We were really organized and we kept talking,” freshman defender Kaitlyn Owen said. “The games before we weren’t so loud with each other, wouldn’t tell each other what to do, but today we did that just fine.”

For Johnsburg’s 11 seniors, after being bounced by tough regional opponents the past two seasons, they’re just happy to have the season continue on a little longer.

“Another practice, another game, it feels good to win that one ... we don’t want to stop,” Hauck said.

PREP ROUNDUP Rozanski stepping down as Huntley athletic director Woodstock overcomes Lake Zurich in 5 innings Leaving to take position at Rockford Boylan HS

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Chris Rozanski has seen a lot of successful accomplishments and growth at Huntley in his three years as athletic director.

The facilities, which make the school the gem of the Fox Valley Conference, along with that success made Huntley a tough place to leave. But Rozanski felt the pull of his former school and his family in Rockford.

He will return to Boylan High School next year to Chris take over as principal.

Rozanski “The opportunity to be with family,” Rozanski said, when asked about his decision to return. “It was a tough decision. There was some time I had invested here and a lot of good things and a lot of good people. At the end of the day, I had a chance to be around some good people and lead and

be around some good people there, too.”

Rozanski previously taught at Boylan for 13 years and served as assistant principal for one. He also served as assistant AD for six years during his tenure.

Rozanski came to Huntley at a time when the school was renovating Red Raider Stadium with an all artificial turf field and also adding a fieldhouse with a 200-meter track. The Red Raiders have experienced a great deal of success, as well, and won the Northwest Herald’s All-Sports Trophy last year, given to the Fox Valley Conference school with the best boys and girls sports combined.

Rozanski’s wife, Tricia, has taught English at Boylan for 18 years. They live in Rockford and have two daughters, Sophia (sixth grade) and Evelyn (third).

“To be part of that transition that Huntley has gone through and see some of these projects come through, and the growth, both in the community, academically and athletically, has been challenging, but it’s been fulfilling,” Rozanski said. “There’s been some good memories, some good takeaways. It’s been good.”

NORTHWEST HERALD Woodstock’s Joey Brown and Blake Waterson each had a home run and drove in three runs Saturday in a 18-0 nonconference baseball win in five innings against Lake Zurich in Lake Zurich.

Jacob Waryck was 2 for 2 with a double and drove in one, and Josh Turner was 2 for 2 with two runs scored and an RBI. Brown earned the win, allowing only three hits in five innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.

6-14 FVC) scored seven runs in the first two innings to pick up the FVC win.

WAUKEGAN – In the aftermath of Johnsburg’s first regional title since 2014, Skyhawks girls soccer coach Rob Eastland sounded more relieved and ready to get out of Waukegan than to celebrate his third regional title.

The top-seeded Skyhawks got goals from Madeline Hauck and Taylor Piggott in the first 18 minutes and held on to that lead for the remainder, beating Westminster Christian, 2-0, in the Class 1A Cristo Rey St. Martin Regional final at Dugdale Park in Waukegan.

In the end, though, it was a number of missed chances to really bury the game that left Eastland feeling relieved to be advancing.

“We did what we’ve done all season, we created 50 chances and put away two,” Eastland said. “If we scored what we’re capable of game’s over and done.

So it’s funny really because you win a regional but that’s probably one of the worst we’ve played all season. I’m glad, hopefully we got that out of the way because if we play like that on Tuesday,

10 CARDINALS 5, CUBS 3

Cardinals hold off Cubs comeback

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com ST. LOUIS – Joe Maddon had thoughts on a couple of subjects Saturday.

The first was the young lineup he trotted out for what turned out to be a 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The game was played before 47,882 fans, the largest gathering in the ballpark’s history.

The Cubs’ lineup included rookie Ian Happ, making his major-league debut, and another rookie, Jeimer Candelario, who was subbing at third base for the reigning MVP, Kris Bryant.

Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora Jr. and Willson Contreras also gave this lineup an element of youth and inexperience as the Cubs fell back to .500 at 18-18 while the first-place Cardinals improved to 20-15.

“That’s what I’m saying, and this is a World Series team, right?” Maddon said. “That’s my point: Please be patient. Guys are still getting better.

They’re inexperienced. They’re going look bad sometimes. We’re going to ‘hit young.’ You’ve seen it already with really young at-bats. Chasing pitches over our head, in the dirt. But that’s going to go away. I love it. I actually love it because these guys are good. They’re going to keep getting better, and it really speaks well for the future.”

Maddon likened the excitement of playing these kids to the feeling he had in 2015, when a young Cubs team came of age in many ways and advanced to the National League championship series a year before winning it all.

Each of the young players in Saturday’s game had moments good and bad, with Happ’s first major-league hit being a two-run homer in the seventh inning, a blast to right field that brought the Cubs from 5-1 down to 5-3.

“It was a changeup, got barrel on it, and watching it go, it had a little bit of legs to it,” said Happ, who got the ball back from the fan who caught it.

Happ also was involved in another play that had everybody in the Cubs clubhouse talking, and in not-so-nice ways.

In the fifth inning with the Cubs down 3-1, Happ was on first base with one out when Anthony Rizzo grounded back to pitcher Carlos Martinez, who threw to second base to force Happ.

However, the play was called a double play because Happ slid past the second-base bag. By rule put in place before last season, ostensibly to protect middle infielders from injury, the runner is called out and a double play is awarded if the baserunner slides past the bag, no matter by how little.

If the call had not been made – and

Maddon’s advice to rookie Happ: Enjoy your debut

The Cardinals’ Dexter Fowler (bottom) takes out Chicago Cubs’ Tommy La Stella as Fowler is unable to break up a double play in the first inning Saturday in St. Louis. upheld on replay – the Cubs would have had a run because Kyle Schwarber would have come home from third base.

“I’m over it,” said Cubs starting and losing pitcher Jon Lester (1-2), who worked 5 1⁄3 innings and gave up 6 hits and 4 runs, 3 earned. “There was nothing malicious about that slide. He slid three inches past the bag, and we got a double play. I’m over the rule. The rule was meant to be for guys doing dirty slides, sliding late, taking guys out. There’s nothing wrong with that slide – whatsoever.

“This game was meant to be played a certain way. There was nothing wrong with that Happ did. I told him in the dugout. I said, ‘Next time, you do the exact same thing.’ That’s baseball, man. We’re out there playing with a bunch of pansies right now.”

Happ explained his side of it.

“I went in, just a baseball play, aggressive play,” he said. “Slid a little bit too far past the bag. I guess that’s the rules. If you can’t hold onto the bag, that’s interference. It’s unfortunate, but that’s what happened.”

Maddon gave his thoughts on this subject, as well, and he didn’t hold back.

“If there’s not a fabricated method to prevent a run from being scored based on interoffice politics, then the game would have been a one-run game,” he said. “That’s where I’m hung up, man. I’ve talked about this before, and I have no idea why these rules are a part of our game. That had a tremendous impact on today’s game.

Outs are awarded based on a fabricat-

ed rule.

“It is created under the umbrella of safety, which I totally disagree that was a nonsafe play that Happer made.

When you slide directly over the bag and you’re called out where there’s no chance for the runner to be thrown out at first base, there was nothing egregiously dangerous on the part of our runner. Don’t give me hyperbole and office-created rules because I’m not into those things as you guys well know, about reaching the bag.”

“When you’re sliding on dirt, and you have momentum, you keep going.

ST. LOUIS – Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon had just one bit of advice for Ian Happ before Happ’s major-league debut Saturday at Busch Stadium.

“I just told him, again, to enjoy the moment: ‘You deserve to be here,’” Maddon said before the Cubs’ 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. “I told him I didn’t know if it was going to be a week or the whole season, ‘but don’t worry about that.

Just go play. Don’t change anything you’ve been doing. Spring training was pretty good. What you’re doing right now is pretty good. But don’t think you have to do anything differently today.’”

Happ had a big day. His first major-league hit was a two-run homer in the seventh inning. He might have had a hit earlier, but hit hard-hit grounder past first baseman Matt Carpenter was called an error in the fifth. In that same inning, he was called out for interference after sliding past second base. The play resulted in an inning-ending double play.

“That was a lot going on in a baseball game,” he said.

The Cubs selected Happ’s contract from Class AAA Iowa before the game, and they optioned relief pitcher Felix Pena back to Iowa. Happ came up because of various ailments and injuries to Cubs players: a tight back for veteran Ben Zobrist, a stomach virus for Kris Bryant and back spasms for Jon Jay. Trying to play through it: Ben Zobrist said he did not need a stint on the disabled list despite lingering lower-back tightness.

“It’s never totally gone away,” he said. “I’ve just been playing through it. It was a little worse yesterday after the travel and Denver, doubleheader, off-day, all that stuff. I was hopeful that the off-day would really help, and it probably just stiffened up a little worse after that. But you’ve got to play through that stuff.

Still bugging Bryant: Kris Bryant was still a no-go Saturday, one day after coming up ill before game time.

“I saw him on the way out last night,” Joe Maddon said. “You could see something was kicking his butt. I don’t know exactly, virus-wise, what it is. He was hurting, even just to eat and holding food down was not comfortable. I don’t know, but I just know that he was not good last night.”

WHITE SOX 5, PADRES 4

WHITE SOX NOTES

For the Sun-Times

Walk-off single lifts Sox over Padres

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – A six-game losing streak isn’t uncharted territory for White Sox manager Rick Renteria.

He endured two of them while managing the rebuilding Cubs in 2014. And plenty more as a player and coach the past 30-plus years.

Now with the rebuilding White Sox, Renteria says he knows how to handle these situations “through a lot of experience and a lot of failure.”

“There are moments when you have to have talks with your teams as it relates to effort or things of that nature,” Renteria said. “But I don’t think that’s the case for our men. I think they’re going out there and trying to do their job.”

The Sox did their job in entertaining fashion Saturday, beating the Padres, 5-4, on a walk-off single by Yolmer Sanchez in the bottom of the ninth to snap a six-game losing streak.

The win could serve as a shot in the arm for a team that fell from first to fourth place in the span of a week.

“I think you remind them first: Don’t get used to losing,” Renteria said. “You’re playing against Major League teams. To win a Major League ballgame is very difficult on a daily basis, no matter who you’re competing against.”

While a six-game losing streak at this point in the season could break a rebuilding team, the Sox have reason

to remain optimistic. They’ve stayed competitive despite a slew of injuries to every part of the roster.

“Guys are in the day, in the moment,” shortstop Tyler Saladino said.

“I don’t even know how many losses we had before this because that’s not what we talk about. That’s not the feel.”

The Sox and Padres traded runs all night until Sanchez’s ninth-inning walk-off single. Saladino led off the inning with a walk and advanced to second on a sac bunt by Leury Garcia.

Sanchez ripped a single up the middle, and Saladino avoided a tag with a perfect slide on a close play at the plate to win the game. The play was reviewed and upheld by the umpiring crew.

“He threw me three sliders in a row, so I was looking for that one,” Sanchez said. “Put it in play, that’s it.”

Starter Dylan Covey wasn’t able to come away with his first win but he kept the Sox in the game and struck out nine batters in 41⁄3 innings. He gave up two solo homers, including a leadoff shot in the first to Manuel Margot, the second night in a row that the Padres have led off with a homer.

Covey dug in after the home run and struck out the side and six of the next seven batters.

“I was getting tired of getting beat with my mediocre stuff,” Covey said.

“So I went out there and gave it all I had with every pitch. … That first pitch kind of lit a fire underneath me and I kind of started attacking guys right after that.”

The outcome was exactly the sort Renteria was looking for when he discussed positivity and staying the course before the game.

Even after a six-game losing streak, a leadoff home run to fall behind early and a short start by Covey, the Sox didn’t waver.

“They haven’t gone flat,” Renteria said of the club. “Their energy has been consistent. That’s all you can ask of a team. You talk about effort level, they’re giving it.”

The White Sox’s Yolmer Sanchez (center right) celebrates with Tyler Saladino after Sanchez’s walk-off single defeated the San Diego Padres Saturday at Guarenteed Rate Field in Chicago.

Fans lined up at Guaranteed Rate Field early Saturday to get their hands on the day’s free giveaway – a Ken “Hawk” Harrelson alarm clock.

The first 20,000 fans into the park received the alarm clock, featuring a caricature of Harrelson on the face and baseball bats for the hour and minute hands.

When the alarm goes off, the clock wakes you up with six Hawk catchphrases, including “You can put it on the board, YES!” “Stretch!” and “This ballgame is ova!”

“I’ve had over 400 requests,” Harrelson said of demand for the clock. “I told them to buy a ticket to the game.

That’s the only way you are going to get one.”

The clock created quite a buzz when it was first announced, and fans began listing the item on eBay after entering the park Saturday.

“When they first told me about it, I said: ‘That’s a pretty neat idea,’” said Harrelson, who also threw out the ceremonial first pitch. “As it turned out, it has grown. This thing has a little bit of a life of its own.”

Asking for help: First baseman Jose Abreu reached out to White Sox coaches Friday and asked for help on defense.

He spent the better part of an hour Saturday afternoon working with manager Rick Renteria on stretching and catching.

Renteria said it’s impressive to see a player hold himself accountable that way and praised Abreu’s work ethic. He went on to say he disagrees with the notion that Abreu is not good enough to be an everyday first baseman.

Abreu has committed five errors this season, and the Sox’s five errors at first base are the most by any team in the American League and tied for the most among all teams.

Injury updates: James Shields remains sidelined with a right lat strain, and Renteria offered no new information on a return.

Shields has been on the disabled list since April 21. At the time, Renteria was hopeful Shields wouldn’t miss much time calling the injury “a light strain.”

Carlos Rodon was scheduled to throw off the mound for the first time this season Saturday, Renteria said.

Rodon has been on the disabled list since the start of the season.

Heritage Quilters dedicate raffle quilt NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – The McHenry County Historical Society’s Heritage Quilters have dedicated this year’s hand-stitched raffle quilt to Alan Bird of Union.

“He has become an avid supporter of the Heritage Quilters, since one of his wife [Arlen’s] favorite activities is quilting with us,” spokeswoman Jan Knight said in a news release.

“So, while he has never taken needle and thread to a quilt, he is indispensable to the workings of our Heritage Quilters.”

A short dedication to Bird is written on a square sewn onto a back corner of the quilt. Bird is the third man to be recognized by the Heritage Quilters.

The quilt, “Threads of Friend-

ship,” features a nine-patch, Friendship Star pattern set in a ribbon variation. It features 64 blocks in cream and turkey red.

The pattern dates to the 1700s.

Knight explained that white conveys innocence, red stands for strength and victory, romance and festive Christmas.

The turkey red was popular from about 1830 to 1930, due in part because it did not fade.

Knight said the continued popularity of the 2009 effort, “Garnets for Mrs. Lincoln,” signaled a return to red and white was in order.

Tickets for the raffle cost $5 for a pack of six and are available at www.gothistory.org or at the museum, 6422 Main St., Union. For information, call 815923-2267.

“Threads of Friendship” is the 2017 raffle quilt for the McHenry County Historical Society’s Heritage Quilters.

EnvironmentTip Be aware of groundwater use, contamination Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks or aquifers.

In McHenry County, all of our water comes from groundwater, even if you live or work where there is a city water system. It’s a matter of geology. Residents and businesses of McHenry County only get their water from the ground.

So keep in mind that

everything that goes into the ground, also goes into the aquifers and lakes and streams and rivers. That includes septic systems, anything that goes down the drain, chemicals and pesticides from lawn care and agriculture, road run off, animal

Be aware of the connection between your actions and the health of our water system, because life depends on clean water.

The Listening Room series provides outlet for authors to share their stories

By LINDSAY WEBER

editorial@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Writers often spend much of their time alone as they craft their stories, left only to the company of the voices of their characters in their head. The Listening Room at the Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake gives a platform for those voices to not only come alive, but to be heard.

At 7 p.m. May 17, the venue will host its second Wednesday’s Way with Words series featuring local author readings.

“The Listening Room has historically been music-oriented, but since I came on board, I’ve seen it as a venue for so many other types of performing arts,” Listening Room Program Manager Gwen Koehler said. “It’s a strong proponent of encouraging burgeoning writers. There’s a great interest in showcasing our local writing talent.”

Koehler and a committee of writers planned the first event March 15, which featured 20-minute readings from six different writers. Its success solidified that the event would return.

“I had more submissions than I could choose from,” Koehler said. “I was really inspired by the pieces that were submitted and the passion they had for writing. The synergy among the writing community was so strong, and there was such great support from attendees. We had a Q&A at the end,

“As a writer of short stories particularly, you spend a lot of time by yourself. You don’t do a lot of book tours. To actually get to meet readers and see how they respond to your work is really great. And you’re able to respond to the feedback. In the Q&A, it was more of a panel, and it was so interesting because we all have different perspectives on writing. Our thoughts and habits were all very different. It was so nice to get to meet other writers because it’s such a solitary profession.”

and the readers shared tips, struggles and stories. It created such a great sense of community and sharing of ideas among new and current professional writers.”

Short story writer Linda Heuring was one of the six chosen for the series’ debut evening. Heuring read a short story from her recently published collection “A Woman Walked Into the Bar” titled “Nibbling at the Bloodstains.” And yes, you guessed it. It’s about a 66-year-old woman in Florida.

“She’s on the run,” Heuring said.

“You start to learn more about her and her life as the story progresses. She owns a nursery on Lake Okeechobee, and she’s in a boat on the

waterway running away from it.”

For more on Heuring’s book, see the Author Spotlight on page 6.

The 2016 Rash Award in Fiction recipient said The Listening Room was a really comfortable and open space, and the audience was very attentive, laughing in the right places and really listening. The event also gave her a great opportunity to meet other writers.

“As a writer of short stories particularly, you spend a lot of time by yourself,” Heuring said. “You don’t do a lot of book tours. To actually get to meet readers and see how they respond to your work is really great. And you’re able to respond to the feedback. In the Q&A, it was more of a panel, and it

was so interesting because we all have different perspectives on writing. Our thoughts and habits were all very different. It was so nice to get to meet other writers because it’s such a solitary profession.”

Artists interested in reading during future series are required to submit a bio and a 500-word sample for possible selection against a set deadline. Those selected are notified within two weeks of their submission.

The pieces chosen are a strong mix of genres, from poetry to essays and novels. The diversity really runs the gamut.

“When choosing the pieces, we want to be sure they have a mastery of writing and that they express themselves clearly with great language and imagery,” Koehler said.

Don’t let the word “mastery” scare you. Submissions are open to new and experienced writers, and Koehler said the group would love to open it up to high school and college students, as well.

After the May 17 event, the series will take a summer hiatus resuming in September, after which it will recur the third Wednesday of every other month from 7 to 9 p.m.

“We want to encourage new writers and support the writing community,” Koehler said. “The overall goal is to showcase local writing talent, and we have a lot of it.”

This month’s book is “To Kill a Mockingbird”

by Harper Lee. Books are available at the circulation desk. New members welcome.

Free. Information: 815-459-1687.

Remembering Ryan Johnsburg mom dedicates children’s book to son who died from cancer, with illustrations by his former classmates

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Johnsburg mom Susan Mlynski wrote a children’s book dedicated to her son Ryan (below), who died of cancer at age 7. The book is illustrated by her son’s former classmates, and proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY editorial@nwherald.com

Losing a child is a time of inexplicable pain and drowning grief. But, said Sue Mlynski of Johnsburg, it also can be a time of outpouring love and support. The story of Mlynski’s son Ryan, who died in 1995, continues to this day because of that silver lining.

Ryan was a rambunctious, funny, sweet, loving, 7-year-old boy. He loved pizza, sports, exploring outdoors and his brothers and sisters. He was wise beyond his years, his mother said, and always on the move. So when Ryan complained of a backache, Mlynski gave it little thought. A pulled muscle, surely. Even his pediatrician confirmed the

assumption. It wasn’t until Ryan awoke in the middle of the night in excruciating pain she knew something was seriously wrong. A CAT scan at a Naperville hospital confirmed the worst: A cancerous tumor encircled his spine and was growing toward his chest wall.

Ryan was transferred to Children’s Hospital in Chicago and rushed into emergency surgery. As he recovered, the doctor told Mlynski her son had a 70 percent chance of survival. Chemotherapy treatments seemed to be working. But the cancer was rare and aggressive, and soon the tumor recurred.

“He was so brave; he never said, ‘why me?’

Mlynski said. “He inspired all of us.”

See TOADS, page 5

• TOADS

Mlynski, a nurse, cared for Ryan at their home at the time in Lemont.

A single mother, she was raising 11 children and working three jobs. The community rallied around them, hosting fundraisers and dropping off meals and cards.

“We were enveloped in kindness from the community,” Mlynski said.

“I remember one day, Ryan and I were coming home from the hospital. Members of the community had decorated the big tree in our front yard with thousands of paper hearts. Ryan was so surprised by this kindness and humbled by it. We all were. I’ll never stop being grateful for such kindness.”

After a five-month battle, Ryan died surrounded by his mother, brothers and sisters. The family endured the encompassing grief that followed, drawing strength from each other and the community.

“You survive by getting through seconds, then minutes, eventually days,” Mlynski said. “It has been a process.”

As she coped with her grief, Mlynski wrote a children’s book, “No Toads in the Tub,” with Ryan and a few of his siblings as the main characters. Forgoing traditional and self-publishers, she made it with nothing but a computer and printer from her dining room table.

Unable to afford a professional illustrator, Mlynski reached out to Ryan’s classmates to help her add color to her words.

They responded with enthusiasm; even children who had since moved away returned to help add illustrations to the book. The book remained complete but largely untouched for years after a few copies were given to friends and family members. As caregiver to her father and grandchildren and a one-woman publisher, Mlynski was short on time and resources.

Since Mlynski has moved to Johnsburg, she has decided to spread the word about her son and the book that was created in his memory. The books are for sale for $15 by calling Mlynski at 815-995-9503, and proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research

Johnsburg mom Susan Mlynski wrote a children’s book dedicated to her son, Ryan, who died of cancer at age 7. The book is illustrated by her son’s former classmates, and proceeds will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Hospital benefiting pediatric cancer research. She also hopes to write a second book focused on the stories of parents who have lost their children to cancer.

According to the nonprofit foundation CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, every year, the parents of more than 15,700 kids will hear the words, “your child has cancer.” Despite major advances – from an overall survival rate of 10 percent 50 years ago to nearly 90 percent today – for many rare cancers, the survival rate is much lower. In addition, the number of diagnosed cases annually has not declined in nearly 20 years.

“Losing a child is a difficult, heartbreaking experience, but people who have lost children can be helpful to others who are facing grief,” Mlynski said. “We can give our strength and comfort to someone else. That’s what I believe, that we are in this life to help each other.”

“NO TOADS IN THE TUB” WHAT: A children’s book by Susan Mlynski telling a fun tale about her son Ryan and his siblings. Ryan died from cancer at age 7, and proceeds from the book will be given to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

COST & INFO: Books are available for $15 each by calling Mlynski at 815-9959503.

Author Spotlight

LINDA H. HEURING

Hometown: Carpentersville Latest Book: “A Woman Walked into the Bar” Publisher: All Nations Press Release Date: April 1, 2017 Where can we find it?

Signed copies: Available from Linda Heuring at www.lindaheuring.com Print book: From the publisher, allnationseditors@gmail.com. There is some glitch with Amazon showing the print book not available from the Amazon website. My publisher is trying to get that ironed out with Amazon. It should be available from Amazon in print soon.

E-book: Apple iBooks, Amazon Kindle What’s it about?

“A Woman Walked into the Bar” is a collection of 15 short stories of literary fiction. There’s Ebenezer who has a plane to catch and winds up at a Caribbean resort for the generously figured.

Marva is trapped by a pie safe at the bottom of her basement stairs. Mr. Fisher hopes to cash in on his momma’s dog’s pedigree. Henry’s wife goes missing. Derwin gets blown up by bug foggers. These are just a few of the characters in this collection who are at home near rivers and bayous that hold secrets or become escape routes into and out of relationships. The characters in these stories worm their way into your psyche. They don’t always do the right (or legal) thing, but they act for the right reasons.

Where did the idea come from?

Each story has its own origin, but my stories often come from overhearing a conversation (beware, I might be listening!) and imagining the rest of the story. In my story “Chaperone for Cousin Katie,” for example, I sat in a doctor’s waiting room and watched a grandfatherly man tease a small girl about having a boyfriend. “Tell you what,” she said to him. “I’m gonna marry him.” Advance the time to her high school years, and you have the character cousin Katie.

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

The stories in the collection as a whole were written over a long period of time. Individual stories might take a couple of years or a couple of weeks, depending on the story itself. It’s a stop and start process for me.

As a journalist, I always knew where my story was going once I had the lede. In writing fiction, it’s the ending that most eludes me. I may write a story except for a few paragraphs at the end and leave it for weeks or, sadly, sometimes years, before going back to it and finding an ending that works. Attempting to force an ending just doesn’t work for me.

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

Stepping into different characters and situations is great fun for me. Who wouldn’t like to imagine yourself on a Mexican beach in the middle of a Chicago winter? In “A Woman Walked into the Bar,” I was able to temporarily live with 15 different main characters in a variety of locations, from the Louisiana swamp to a Chicago high rise.

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

“A Woman Walked into the Bar” was published by a traditional, but small, publisher, All Nations Press.

What is your education/background?

My degree is in English composition from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. I’ve been a journalist (newspaper and magazine), a newspaper editor, a marketing professional and a small business owner, and held global positions in communications with a Fortune Ten company.

I grew up in Southern Indiana, but I’ve lived all over the country, which brings lots of opportunities to explore familiar locations through my storytelling.

Who are your favorite authors?

Many of my friends are writers, so picking favorites is dangerous business.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Grisham Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

King

Concho River Review and Dos Passos Review, among others. I have been awarded the Fish International Short Story Prize (Ireland) and the Rash Award in Fiction, and earned first place in the Union County Writer’s Club fiction contest. I have placed third in the Elizabeth Simpson Smith Short Story Contest and been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize (United Kingdom).

Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

My choice depends on where I will read and how much room I have. We have moved so many pounds of books so many times, it became necessary to choose to get some books electronically. Instead of taking a separate suitcase for books on vacation (we really did do that), I now load up my iPad with books for that purpose.

However, one of my writer friends called lovers of traditional books “book sniffers.” I loved it!

There’s something magical about opening a new book with its stiff spine and that lovely aroma of fresh ink. That said, some books I purchase on iBooks then realize I NEED a print one, too, so I buy both.

What’s next for you?

In July my Rash Award-winning story, “Red Light, Green Light,” will be published in Broad River Review. And in the next issue of Rosebud, my story “A Woman Walked into the Bar” will be reprinted. The book also was selected as an Editor’s Pick in New Pages in April.

As always, I’ll be writing. I’m scheduling readings and author book signings throughout the summer and fall. First, I have a book signing scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. May 20 at Half Price Books, 2226 S. Randall Road, Algonquin. At 7 p.m. Sept. 21, I’ll be reading and signing books at the Dundee Library at 555 Barrington Ave., East Dundee. The updated schedule of my events is on my website, www.lindaheuring.com.

Even therapists get stressed, but laughter helps My daughter has a cup in her cabinet that reads, “Stay Stressed; then quit.” It’s meant to be funny, but in the real world, that is often the course of choice.

Yesterday, I had an appointment to see a client, and I could not find my car keys. As I tore up the house, looking in every conceivable corner, I recalled that cup and its motto. I deliberately stopped looking in the same place for the fifth time and accepted the fact I probably left them in the “other” car, which was, at that moment, with a family member at another appointment. I took a deep breath, reminded myself that at some point the car and my keys would return, and that my client would survive a delay in seeing me.

I also realized I was angry (an emotion I often feel when stressed), and thought about who I was angry with: 1. Myself for leaving the keys in the other car: “You stupid idiot!”

2. My family member for not

noticing them: “You notice every OTHER thing I do wrong. Why not this time????”

3. The universe for conspiring against me and my plans: “Why does this always happen to MEEEE???”

4. The dogs for barking when I was already upset: “BARK COLLAR!!!”

I talked myself down off the ledge, forgave myself, my family member, the universe and the dogs and sat down to think about this whole process from start to finish.

“How interesting,” I told myself.

“On Monday, when you accidentally locked yourself in your daughter’s dog run with Owen (her pit bull/Lab mix), you didn’t get stressed. In fact, you thought THAT was funny!” So did my daughter when I told her about it later.

The latch was stuck, and I was able to hit it sharply with Owen’s antler chew toy and get it to release without damaging the latch or allowing Owen to escape. So, why didn’t that stress me out and cause me to shake my fist

at the universe, et al? Partly it was because I found a solution rather quickly, but I also realized that in the dog run situation, I immediately found it funny and could laugh at myself.

So, as I worked toward solving that problem, I was smiling and relaxed.

But I initially saw no humor at all in misplacing my keys.

Laughter helped me in one situation, but I had not used that handy tool in the other case. I wondered whether it had anything to do with how I saw myself. In the first case, I was wearing my Serious Professional hat: “My client is waiting. I must get there on time!” In the second, I simply was trying to take Owen out of his run so he could come into the house with me and stop whining piteously.

He was delighted to see me. And, if we were going to spend the day sitting in his dog run together, he was fine with that. So, one goal was met: Owen stopped whining and greeted me with the unbounded joy only a dog can

provide.

As I sat in front of the computer, writing this column while I waited for the other car to return with my keys, I decided to rethink my situation and recast it as a comedy. It did not take long. All I had to do was picture myself as I had been – tearing through the house, scattering cats, leaving a trail of disorder behind me as I rummaged through drawers, casting aside sleeping dogs. I saw myself behaving like the very embodiment of angst. It made me smile. After awhile, it made me laugh.

I ate a cookie with a glass of milk and had just finished when I heard the car pull up in the driveway.

I was ready to go, sanity restored.

Small and cute: why crafters love ‘little thingies’

By JENNIFER FORKER

mate object is a dust collector.

Crocheter Twinkie Chan of Ventura, California, attributes the attraction to this: babies.

“We’re naturally drawn to little, tiny things like a baby,” human or animal, she said. “Stick some big eyes on [a project], and people will love it.”

There are practical reasons, too.

“I don’t have the patience to make anything big,” said Cindy Wang, author of “Literary Yarns: Crochet Projects Inspired by Classic Books” (Quirk Books, 2017).

The Associated Press

When my daughter Grace was little, she collected tiny objects, sometimes pilfered from her sister and squirreled away in her bedroom.

Among the 4-year-old’s prized collection of teeny-tiny items were a Barbie suitcase, Hello Kitty erasers, a 1-inch plastic baby and animal figurines.

“It’s special to me,” she explained when an item of her sister’s was found in her room.

Everything tiny was special to this child, and the family came to refer to little objects as she did, as “little thingies.” We still do, even though Grace is 18 and graduating from high school.

Little thingies have caught on in the crafting world, so much so that stacks of books are dedicated to their creation. Most are crochet projects, but other mediums, such as needle felting and knitting, also bend toward the tiny.

The Japanese gave little thingies a name: amigurumi – small, adorable creatures that usually are crocheted.

I’ve seen Hello Kitty and Star Wars characters, comic book superheroes and every animal under the sun in books touting amigurumi patterns.

“I like being able to make something you can hold in your hand.”

Wang, who created patterns for Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Frankenstein and many more characters for “Literary Yarns,” began crocheting tiny figurines six years ago – mostly superheroes. Depending on its complexity, a project can take two to nine hours.

“The crocheting part itself is the easy and quick part for me,” Wang said. “It’s the tiny details that take time.”

What is the draw? Why spend hours hunched over a small, non-essential project? You can’t wear it like a scarf or a hat. You can’t decorate with it, as you would a pillow or a blanket. Albeit adorable, the inani-

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Proposed Change in Schedule of Rates to Customers of Aqua Illinois, Inc. within McHenry County May 1, 2017 Aqua Illinois, Inc. hereby gives notice to the public that it has filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) a proposed change in its rate schedules for water service in McHenry County.

AQUA ILLINOIS’ RATE REQUEST If this rate request is granted in full as filed, it would translate to: • An average monthly residential bill (4,500 gallons) would increase by $17.22, ($0.57 per day) to $72.29, including public fire protection charges.

• A full day’s worth of water (150 gallons) for $2.41 per day, approximately $.02 per gallon.

The estimated bill impact may vary based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, meter size, usage volume, and fire protection charge.

The proposed increase in rates is set out in Tariff ILL. C.C. No. 49, Section 8 filed with the ICC. The last rate case impacting the rate zone in which McHenry County customer are included was filed on April 6, 2011. This request will undergo a review by the ICC for up to 11 months. The approximate date of the change(s), if approved by the ICC within the statutory 11-month process, is March 30, 2018. If approved by the ICC, the changes for all classes of water and wastewater service statewide would result in an increase to base rates of $11,999,981.

THE RATES YOU PAY DIRECTLY BENEFIT YOUR COMMUNITY Aqua Illinois will have invested approximately $2.8 million in infrastructure and other water quality improvements through the period covered in this proceeding. They have included distribution system upgrades to enhance water quality, representing an investment of approximately $2,100 per household. All system improvements will directly contribute to increased reliability and enhanced process improvements for source-of-supply and water treatment. Examples include: • Replacement of deteriorated and undersized water mains to improve water quality, reliability, and pressure and to upgrade fire protection service to these areas.

• Grid reinforcements in the water system to provide added system pressure, better fire flows throughout the populated parts of the system and eliminate bottlenecks that limit water flow.

• Replacement of fire hydrants to ensure resources are available to our firefighters in an emergency.

• Replacement of customer service lines from the water main to the property line to ensure reliability.

• Replacement and upgrade of water meters with new radio frequency devices to ensure efficient and accurate bills based on actual usage instead of those based on estimates.

• Improvements to the McHenry Shores water treatment facility to remove high iron concentrations.

• Field equipment necessary to provide service to maintain the water system and provide customer service to McHenry County homes and businesses.

ICC ROLE Please be advised that the ICC may alter or amend the rates or conditions of service after hearings held pursuant to 83 Ill. Adm. Code 200, and may increase or decrease individual rates in amounts other than those requested by the company.

ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE Any interested party may file a petition to intervene in the hearings pursuant to 83 Ill. Adm. Code 200.

Pursuant to Section 8-306 of the Public Utilities Act, 220 ILCS 5/8-306, customers may request that the ICC hold a public hearing related to the company’s rate request. A copy of the proposed change in rate schedules may be inspected by any interested party at the business office of the company at 1000 South Schuyler Avenue in Kankakee, IL. All parties interested in the matter may obtain information with respect thereto either directly from Aqua Illinois or by addressing the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 East Capitol Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62701.

At Aqua Illinois, water quality and customer service are our highest priorities. We strive every day to listen to you, our customer, and invest in system improvements and enhancements. Our management and staff are always here to assist you. If you have any questions, please contact Aqua Customer Service at 877.987.2782 or visit www.AquaAmerica.com.
