GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

American people will always win big race Oct. 7 was my first marathon.

No congratulations are in order; I wasn’t running in it. I wouldn’t run that far unless I was being chased by very dangerous and very slow-footed people or large, carnivorous animals.

What I was doing wasn’t nearly as difficult as running 26.2 miles, although schlepping a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old through downtown Chicago streets was no stroll through the meadow, either.

My wife was running her first marathon, and it was a huge family event. We knew she could accomplish anything she wanted to accomplish, and we were determined to celebrate with her.

While she was slogging through some near South Side neighborhood, I was buttering pancakes at the Grand Lux Café on North Michigan Avenue.

My major accomplishment for the day was wiping the syrup from sticky children, but this was a family day. It was about mom.

My daughter might have been too young to grasp the significance, but

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons the boy understood. One of my favorite images will forever be a photo of our proud son hugging mom in Grant Park after she crossed the finish line.

He brought the medal to school later to prove that his mom was as tough as he boasted.

These were the memories that entered my mind Monday – knowing that the streets of Boston were teeming with people who were either accomplishing something they dreamed of accomplishing or celebrating that feat with spouses, children and friends.

What should have been a similar collective moment in Boston was shattered by killers.

At least for this discussion and for the moment, it doesn’t matter whether those killers were members of al-Qaida, Occupy Wall Street, some

right-wing fringe group or one or two evil individuals acting for God knows what purpose.

Whoever was responsible for this despicable act succeeded in killing three innocent people, including an 8-year-old boy, and maiming dozens of others. They succeeded in bringing horror to one of the proudest cities in the world.

They succeeded in bringing permanent pain to victims and their families. They succeeded in making anyone with normal human emotions temporarily miserable.

But what all of these attacks fail to do is change much of anything inside the United States. Marathons will continue – in Boston, Chicago, New York and many other cities.

Moms from the suburbs and weekend warriors will continue to tread along country roads and treadmills training hard to test the limits of their physical and mental capabilities.

What they fail to do is to destroy the collective will of first-responders

who risk their own lives for others, whether the terrorists are foreign or domestic. They fail to lessen the resolve of U.S. Homeland Security, the FBI or state and local police from protecting the public as they do time and time again.

They fail to stop Americans from continuing to gather at sporting events or to celebrate significant accomplishments.

They fail to persuade anyone that their particular cause has merit because no ends are justified by the means of terrorism.

Whatever message a terrorist has will continue to be lost on the majority of Americans who will band together when attacked, and they’ll get back to their lives – not for some medal or to cross some finish line – but because we’re better people than they are.

Miss. man accused of sending ricin letters The ASSOCIATED PRESS OXFORD, Miss. – The FBI has identified a Mississippi man suspected of mailing letters containing poisonous ricin as 45-year-old Paul Kevin Curtis.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen said Curtis was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 100 miles east of Memphis.

Authorities still waited for definitive tests on the letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.

An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said those two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tenn.

Both letters said: “To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance.” Both were signed, “I am KC and I approve this message.”

The letters were intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate. The FBI said Wednesday that more testing was under way. Preliminary field tests can often show false positives for ricin.

As authorities scurried to investigate three question-

Sen. Carl Levin said a staff member at his Saginaw, Mich., office would spend the night in a hospital as a precaution after discovering a suspicious letter. The staff member had no symptoms, Levin said in a statement.

He expected to learn preliminary results of tests on the letter by today.

State House OKs Senate blocks gun background bill virtual charter school moratorium

By ALAN FRAM and DAVID ESPO

The Associated Press

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Legislation to put a one-year hold on the creation of new online charter schools cleared the Illinois House on Wednesday.

The state House of Representatives voted, 80-36, to amend the state’s charter school law, putting a moratorium in place until April 1, 2014, “on the establishment of charter schools with virtual-schooling components” in most public school districts statewide.

The measure, now in the state Senate, came in response to a proposal from the nonprofit Virtual Learning Solutions to open the Illinois Virtual Charter School at Fox River Valley.

The proposed online school would include students from 18 area school districts, including Carpentersville-based District 300, and would be funded by local school district funds, estimated at up to $8,000 per student.

The proposed measure directs the Illinois’ State Charter School Commission during the moratorium to craft “a report on the effect of virtual-schooling,” which would include evaluating student performance, online charter school costs and “is-

sues with oversight.”

Lawmakers also directed the commission to “include policy recommendations for virtual-schooling.”

The legislation was introduced by state Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, a week ago. State Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo; Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia; and Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, voted in favor of the measure, while state Reps.

David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills; and Mike Tyron, R-Crystal Lake, voted against it.

Seventeen of the 18 school districts had rejected the online charter school proposal before the House voted on the legislation, and Valley View School District 365U was scheduled to vote Wednesday night.

But without a moratorium, Virtual Learning Solutions can appeal those decisions to the State Charter School Commission.

State Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, said he and other supporters are not opposed to the concept of online charter schools, but believe a pause is needed to give time to “clarify standards” for virtual charter schools and investigate how much Virtual Learning Solutions proposes to charge per student.

8STATE BRIEFS House rejects restrictive concealed carry plans

Quinn unveils $12B, 6-year transportation update

SPRINGFIELD – Gun-control supporters suffered a setback Wednesday when the Illinois House overwhelmingly rejected an amendment that would give local officials control over issuing concealed-carry permits.

Following a sometimes-raucous debate during which the presiding officer threatened to bring in doorkeepers to restore order, the House rejected the proposed amendment on a 31-78 vote.

Sponsored by Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, the amendment was called “may issue” concealed carry because it gave control to local authorities over who could or could not get a concealed-carry permit. People would have to get permission from the county sheriff and show a need for carrying a weapon.

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn unveiled a plan Wednesday to invest nearly $13 billion in Illinois’ transportation system, which his administration says will help the state create or retain some 140,000 jobs over six years.

The program includes a $475 million reconstruction of what’s considered the nation’s most clogged intersection – the Circle Interchange just west of Chicago’s Loop.

The congestion-riddled pretzel of concrete serves as the meeting point for the Dan Ryan, Kennedy and Eisenhower expressways and Congress Parkway.

“Our economy depends on our location and transportation,” Quinn said at a news conference outside his state Capitol office.

ATTORNEYS AT LAW

WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans backed by a small band of rural-state Democrats scuttled the most far-reaching gun control legislation in two decades on Wednesday, refusing to tighten background checks on firearms buyers or ban assault weapons as they spurned the personal pleas of families of the victims of last winter’s elementary school shootings in Newtown, Conn.

“This effort isn’t over,” President Barack Obama vowed at the White House moments after the defeat on one of his top domestic priorities. Obama, surrounded

by Newtown relatives, said opponents of the legislation “caved to the pressure” of special interests in casting their votes.

An attempt to ban assault-style rifles went down, too, and a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines faced the same fate in a series of showdown votes four months after a gunman killed 20 elementary school chil-

President Barack Obama arrives at a news conference Wednesday in the Rose Garden of the White House to speak about measures to reduce gun violence. With Obama is former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (left) and Mark Barden, the father of Newtown shooting victim Daniel. dren and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A bid to loosen restrictions on concealed weapons carried across state lines also fell.

That last vote marked a rare defeat for the National Rifle Association on a day it generally emerged triumphant over President Barack

Obama, gun control advocates and individuals whose lives have been affected by mass shootings in Connecticut and elsewhere, some of whom watched from the spectator galleries above the Senate floor.

“Shame on you,” shouted one of them, Patricia Maisch, who was present two years

ago when a gunman in Tucson, Ariz., killed six and wounded 13 others, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Vice President Joe Biden gaveled the Senate back into order after the breach of decorum.

The background check measure commanded a majority of senators, 54-46, but that was well short of the 60 votes needed to advance. Forty-one Republicans and five Democrats sided to scuttle the plan.

In the hours before the key vote, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., bluntly accused the National Rifle Association of making false claims about the expansion of background checks that he and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., were backing.

“Where I come from in West Virginia, I don’t know how to put the words any plainer than this: That is a lie. That is simply a lie,” he said, accusing the organization of telling its supporters that friends, neighbors and some family members would need federal permission to transfer ownership of firearms to one another.

Ill. House approves use of medical marijuana

By REGINA GARCIA CANO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House approved a measure Wednesday to allow physicians to prescribe marijuana to patients with specific terminal illnesses or debilitating medical conditions.

Lawmakers voted 61-57 for legislation that creates a four-year pilot program that requires patients and caregivers to undergo background checks, limits the amount of marijuana patients can have at a time, and establishes cultivation centers and selling points.

The legislation now goes to the state Senate, where a version of the bill was approved in 2009. Senate President John Cullerton’s spokeswoman said this week that he supports the legislation.

Gov. Pat Quinn hasn’t said whether he would sign the measure should it reach his desk.

Supporters said marijuana can relieve continual pain without triggering the harmful effects of other prescription drugs. They touted the legislation as a compassionate measure that would save patients from the agony caused by illnesses such

as cancer, multiple sclerosis and HIV. “I know every single one of you have compassion in your heart, this is the day to show it,” said Rep. Lou Lang, the sponsor of the bill. “... Let people feel better, let them have a better quality of life.”

The bill lists more than 30 medical conditions for which patients can be prescribed marijuana.

The legislative proposal prohibits patients from growing their own marijuana. Instead, the state must approve 22 cultivation centers, as well as 60 dispensaries where patients could buy the drug after getting a

prescription from a doctor with whom they have an existing relationship. The legislation sets a 2.5 ounce limit per patient per purchase.

Lang, a Democrat from Skokie, said the bill is the strictest in the nation. Still, opponents say the program would encourage the use of marijuana for recreational purposes.

“It’s going to cause confusion in our communities,” said Republican Rep. Mike Bost of Murphysboro. “... I guarantee you that we will be back adjusting this legislation or we would be back in this floor for the legalization of marijuana.”

Fertilizer plant blast injures dozens The ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST, Texas – An explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on Wednesday night injured dozens of people and sent flames shooting high into the night sky, leaving the factory a smoldering ruin and causing major damage to surrounding buildings.

The blast at West Fertilizer in West, a community about 20 miles north of Waco, happened shortly before 8 p.m. and could be heard as far away as Waxahachie, 45 miles to the north.

There was no immediate word from officials about fatalities or the severity of the explosion, as Texas Gov. Rick Perry said state officials were also waiting for details about the extent of the damage.

“We are monitoring developments and gathering information as details continue to

emerge about this incident,” Perry said in a statement. “We have also mobilized state resources to help local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of West, and the first responders on the scene.”

But aerial footage showed fires still smoldering in the ruins of the plant and in several surrounding buildings, and people being treated for injuries on the flood-lit local football field, which had been turned into a staging area for emergency responders.

Debby Marak told The Associated Press that when she finished teaching her religion class Wednesday night, she noticed a lot of smoke in the area across town near the plant, which is near a nursing home.

She said she drove over to see what was happening, and that when she got there, two boys came running toward her

screaming that the authorities ordered everyone out because the plant was going to explode.

She said she drove about a block when the blast happened.

“It was like being in a tornado,” Marak, 58, said by phone.

“Stuff was flying everywhere.

It blew out my windshield.”

“It was like the whole earth shook.”

She drove 10 blocks and called her husband and asked him to come get her. When they got to their home about 2 miles south of town, her husband told her what he’d seen: a huge fireball that rose like “a mushroom cloud.”

More than two hours after the blast, there were still fires smoldering in what was left of the plant and in others burning nearby. The roof of what appeared to be a housing complex of some kind had collapsed.

8WORLD BRIEF Britain’s Iron lady laid to rest with full pomp LONDON – Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest Wednesday with prayers and ceremony, plus cheers and occasional jeers, as Britain paused to remember a leader who trans-

formed the country – for the better according to many, but in some eyes for the worse.

Soaring hymns, Biblical verse and fond remembrances echoed under the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, as 2,300 relatives, friends, colleagues and digni-

taries attended a ceremonial funeral for Britain’s only female prime minister.

Queen Elizabeth II, current and former prime ministers and representatives from 170 countries were among the mourners.

Bombs made from pressure cookers • BOSTON Continued from page A1 “I know it’s very active and very fluid right now – that they are on the chase,” Murphy said. He added: “They may be on the verge of arresting someone, and that’s good.”

The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and others close to the case said.

Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground.

As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag.

One department store video “has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion and heading off,” Murphy said.

A law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity confirmed only that investigators had an image of a potential suspect whose name was not known to them and who had not been questioned.

Several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance

“It really can’t hurt. I told [the County Board] I don’t know if this is the answer or not. It can’t hurt. It can only help. Any extra money is appreciated at this time,” McDaniel said.

The County Board imposed its ban in December 2009 on a narrow 13-10 vote, months after state lawmakers approved the gambling expansion to help pay for a $30 billion capital bill.

Four board members – Sue Draffkorn, R-Wonder Lake; James Heisler, R-Crystal Lake; Mary McCann, R-Woodstock; and Sandra Fay Salgado, R-McHenry – had voted for the ban in 2009 but voted Tuesday to repeal it. More than one-third of the County Board was newly elected last November, and half of the board members from 2009 no longer are serving.

They also were fielding calls from people inquiring about Irvine’s cookbooks.

Judy Pelinski, who went by the restaurant Wednesday morning with her husband, Bill, said she was eager to see the changes.

“I think it’s really exciting when Robert comes in,” Pelinski said. “Not everybody might be a fan of the way he does things, but I think it’s really exciting to give a business a new chance.”

keeps in mind the Square’s history when deciding on renovations. She’s talked to several people who want to see the restaurant redone in the likeness of Tip Top Café, the famous restaurant from “Groundhog Day.” “We just think it should be nostalgic and represent the Square,” Gatsis said.

Arlene Lynes, owner of the Square’s Read Between The Lynes book store, agreed that the restaurant could benefit from such a move.

“It would make great sense,” Lynes said. “It would still need to serve the local

Officials stand guard near the site of the Boston Marathon explosions Wednesday in Boston. Authorities investigating the deadly bombings have recovered a piece of circuit board that they believe was part of one of the explosive devices. video taken at a Lord & Taylor department store between the sites of the bomb blasts.

The turn of events came with Boston in a state of high excitement over conflicting reports of a breakthrough.

A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told the AP around midday that a suspect was in custody.

The official, who was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the suspect was expected in federal court. But the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office

in Boston said no arrests had been made.

By nightfall, there was no evidence anyone was in custody. The law enforcement official who had affirmed there was a suspect in custody even after federal officials denied it was unable to obtain any information or explanation.

At least 14 bombing victims remained in critical condition.

Dozens have been released from hospitals, and officials at three hospitals that treated some of the most seriously injured said they expected all remaining patients to survive.

How they voted The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday, 15-9, to repeal its ban on video gambling at liquor establishments in unincorporated areas.

Voting “no” were Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake; Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry; Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake; Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock; Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake; Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills; Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary; Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard; and John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake.

Four board members – Sue Draffkorn, R-Wonder Lake; James Heisler, R-Crystal Lake; Mary McCann, R-Woodstock; and Sandra Fay Salgado, R-McHenry – had voted for the ban in 2009 but voted Tuesday to repeal it.

local governments. The remaining proceeds are split between the business and the game machine operator.

McHenry County’s ban affected about 60 establishments with licenses to serve alcohol. Although the General Assembly approved video gambling almost four years ago, it was not until last fall that the machines started going live in local establish-

ments.

Municipalities that allow video gambling also include Algonquin, Fox Lake, Fox River Grove, Hebron, Huntley, Johnsburg, Lake in the Hills, Lakemoor, Marengo, McCullom Lake, McHenry, Port Barrington, Richmond, Ringwood and Spring Grove.

The largest municipalities that ban gaming are Crystal Lake and Cary.

While supporters outnumbered opponents about 2-to1 Tuesday evening, people who wanted the ban to stay in place, such as Bobbi Pantaleo of McHenry, made their voices heard.

“I think having people dependent upon gambling machines to make their dreams come true is not the best thing to pass down to our children,” Pantaleo said.

Thirteen municipalities with boundaries in McHenry County had 166 machines in 40 establishments registered with the Illinois Gaming Board as of March 31. Those machines generated a total of $30,405 for municipal coffers.

The board last month reported almost 5,100 registered machines statewide, which generated about $4.7 million for the state and about $940,000 for local governments.

Just another defendant When a public figure is accused of a crime, we expect the legal system to treat him or her as it would everyone else.

The accused public figure should not be getting any breaks that others accused of a crime do not receive. And at the same time, he or she, when charged with a crime outside of the realm of public office, should not be treated any more harshly.

That brings us to the case of Hebron Village President-elect John Jacobson.

Jacobson was charged in January with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, after police say they found about 3 grams of crack cocaine in his car.

Police began investigating Jacobson after a tipster claimed he was trading crack cocaine to McHenry County College students for sexual favors, according to a police report from Jacobson’s arrest. Jacobson worked in the building maintenance department at MCC, but he was fired after the arrest.

Jacobson has not been convicted of a crime.

His criminal case is ongoing. He maintains his innocence.

Earlier this month, Hebron voters elected Jacobson their village president. With 61 percent of the vote, Jacobson defeated incumbent Frank Beatty.

If Jacobson is convicted of a felony, Illinois law requires he be removed from office. But if he is acquitted or convicted of a misdemeanor, he could serve his four-year term as village president.

It’s common practice in many first-time drug cases for prosecutors to plead down to lesser charges, such as misdemeanors, and require defendants to receive treatment rather than jail time.

Without talking specifically about what could happen with Jacobson’s case, State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi said his office would not treat Jacobson differently than any other defendant, even though he is president-elect of Hebron.

Hebron’s voters overwhelmingly elected Jacobson after his arrest was public knowledge. It’s not up to the State’s Attorney’s Office to worry about whether Jacobson should or should not hold that elected office.

Jacobson’s case should move forward as if he were any other defendant.

8ANOTHER VIEW

Apathy reigns Anyone who grew up in this state probably long has known of a certain air of cynicism surrounding, or perhaps suffocating, Illinois politics. In the prairie state, “pay to play” has been in the lexicon perhaps as long as, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

But can we Illinoisans snicker or complain much when we do so little to change the system? In the counties of Williamson, Jackson, Franklin and Perry, a total of 391 offices were up for election on Tuesday, but candidates ran unopposed in 250 instances.

Next in popularity was an apparently common name in Illinois: “No candidate.”

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Supported by facts To the Editor: Re: “Chicago clergy endorse gay marriage” (April 5, Northwest Herald).

Wow. I thought the Catholic Church and other major clergy were against gay marriage. Talk about a misleading headline, this one takes the cake.

The reporter, Sophia Tareen of The Associated Press, wasn’t reporting about the views of major churches in Chicago at all but on a few discussions with some low-level pastors. For example, one was a lesbian pastor. Another one was once a leading minister of a nationwide church until he began teaching that everyone goes to heaven. Now he runs his own church, New Dimensions Chicago.

Headlines should be supported by facts, not by some so-called information that supports nothing of consequence. The question is, how does a major report like this get by the editors of The Associated Press? Are they so liberal for gay marriage that anything goes? And the reporter, where did she get her reporting education? Maybe from

California, where one can get a certificate for just about anything.

And the Northwest Herald, how did you let this dribble take up space in your newspaper?

Watch for that stuff. I am retired and like to keep my aggravation to a minimum.

Regulatory taxation hides the true costs from taxpayers WASHINGTON – The regulatory, administrative state, which progressives champion, is generally a servant of the strong, for two reasons. It responds to financially powerful and politically sophisticated factions. And it encourages rentseekers to exploit opportunities for concentrated benefits and dispersed costs (e.g., agriculture subsidies confer sums on large agribusinesses by imposing small costs on 316 million Americans).

Such government inevitably means executive government and the derogation of the legislative branch, both of which produce exploding government debt. By explaining these perverse effects of progressivism, the Hudson Institute’s Christopher DeMuth explains contemporary government’s cascading and reinforcing failures.

Executive growth fuels borrowing growth because of the relationship between what DeMuth, in a recent address at George Mason University, called “regulatory insouciance and freewheeling finance.” Government power is increasingly concentrated in Washington, Washington power is increasingly concentrated in the executive branch, and executive branch power is increasingly

concentrated in agencies that are unconstrained by legislative control.

Debt and regulation are, DeMuth discerns, “political kin”: Both are legitimate government functions, but both are now perverted to evade democratic accountability, which is a nuisance, and transparent taxation, which is politically dangerous.

Today’s government uses regulation to achieve policy goals by imposing on the private sector burdens less obvious than taxation would be, burdens that become visible only indirectly, in higher prices. Often the goals government pursues by surreptitious indirection are goals that could not win legislative majorities – e.g., the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation of greenhouse gases following Congress’ refusal to approve such policies. And deficit spending – borrowing – is, DeMuth says, “a complementary means of taxation evasion”: It enables the political class to provide today’s voters with significantly more government benefits than current taxes can finance, leaving the difference to be paid by voters too young to vote or not yet born.

Two developments demonstrate, DeMuth says, how “delegation and debt have become coordinate mech-

VIEWS George Will anisms of legislative abnegation.”

One is Congress’ anti-constitutional delegation of taxing authority to executive branch regulatory agencies funded substantially or entirely by taxes the agencies levy, not by congressional appropriations.

For example, DeMuth notes, the Federal Communications Commission’s $347 million operating expenses “are funded by payments from the firms it regulates,” and its $9 billion program subsidizing certain Internet companies is funded by its own unilateral tax on telecommunication firms. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, another freebooting agency not tethered to the appropriations process, automatically receives a share of the profits of the Federal Reserve banks.

A second development is “the integration of regulation and debtfinanced consumption.”

Recently, a Washington Post headline announced: “Obama administration pushes banks to make

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

home loans to people with weaker credit.” Here we go again – subprime mortgages as federal policy. Is this because lowering lending requirements and forcing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to securitize the loans worked so well last time? This illustrates DeMuth’s point about how unfettered executive government uses debt-financed consumption and “regulatory conscription of private markets” to force spending “vastly beyond what Congress could have appropriated in the light of day.”

High affluence and new technologies have, DeMuth believes, “led to unhealthy political practices.” Time was, the three basic resources required for effective political action – discretionary time, the ability to acquire and communicate information, and persuasion skills – were scarce and possessed only by elites.

But in our wealthy and educated society, interest groups can pressure government without being filtered by congressional hierarchies.

Legislative leaders – particularly, committee chairs – have lost power as Congress has become more porous and responsive to importuning factions using new media.

Congress, responding to the increased difficulty of legislating, has

delegated much lawmaking to specialized agencies that have fewer internal conflicts. Congress’ role has waned as that of autonomous executive agencies has waxed. The executive has driven the expansion of the consumption of benefits that are paid for by automatic entitlement transfers, by government-mandated private expenditures, and by off-budget and non-transparent taxation imposed by executive agencies.

Government used to spend primarily on the production of things – roads, dams, bridges, military forces. There can be only so many of such goods. Now, DeMuth says, government spends primarily for consumption: “The possibilities for increasing the kind, level, quality and availability of benefits are practically unlimited. This is the ultimate source of today’s debt predicament. More borrowing for more consumption has no natural stopping point short of imploding on itself.”

Funding the welfare state by vast borrowing and regulatory taxation hides the costs from the public.

Hence its political potency. Until the implosion.

More shots fired in Harvard Police investigate 3rd shooting this month; no one injured

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The city is beefing up patrols to calm residents’ fears after a third report of gunshots was made – all in one month, all in the same part of town.

The incidents, all on the city’s southwest area, are believed to be gang-related.

Tuesday was the latest, when police responded at 10:57 p.m. to the 200 block of Admiral Drive for shots that were fired at an apartment building.

No one was injured.

Police believe Tuesday’s shooter was aiming for a person inside the apartment, Police Chief Dan Kazy-Garey said. “Numerous” bullets were fired and found lodged inside the apartment; others hit the building’s exterior.

Dunn Mizell 49, Crystal Lake Jerome “Jerry” A. Sabal 79, Huntley OBITUARIES on pages B4, B7

No suspects have been identified, but the department is pursuing several leads, Kazy-Garey said.

Witnesses described the suspect as tall with a thin build and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. The suspect is believed to have run to the 300 block of South Division Street, where a vehicle had been waiting, authorities said.

On Monday, police found bullets in the door of a home in the 200 block of West Thompson Street and a truck parked along the roadway.

The first shooting happened April 7, when a 22-year-old man was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening. Police don’t believe that shooting was related to the two this week.

Before police responded to the April 7 incident, three men drove away from the scene in a small, red passenger vehicle.

Kazy-Garey said residents are on edge, but the police department is actively investigating the incidents, with increased patrols and special details.

“Our worst fear is that an innocent bystander, a child or somebody, will be accidentally drawn into that and become a victim of these crimes.”

Kazy-Garey urged residents to report suspicious behavior.

“The residents are concerned and rightfully so,” Kazy-Garey said. “We understand that and are aware of that, but we ask for their help in being aware of their neighborhood – anything out of ordinary, call us. ... That could be that one piece of information that nobody’s looking at yet that might lead to solving these crimes.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Harvard Police Department at 815-943-4431 or CrimeStoppers at 815-943-4343.

lsynett@shawmedia.com A toxicology report released Wednesday shows several drugs, including drugs consistent with heroin use, were found in the bloodstream of a Lake in the Hills teen found dead last month.

Stephanie Chiakas, 17, was found dead March 10 in-

side a Crystal Lake home in the 600 block of Grand Canyon Circle.

The Crystal Lake South High School junior was found unresponsive on the floor near a bed in the home, according to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

Pills and drug paraphernalia also were found in the room, according to the coroner’s report. Chiakas was

pronounced dead at 9:06 a.m.

March 10.

The toxicology report states that marijuana, opiates, antidepressants and sedatives were in her system at the time of her death.

The cause of death has been determined to be a polysubstance overdose, meaning multiple drugs were being used simultaneously, said Dr. Anne Majewski,

HAMPSHIRE – Many of Joan Steenhausen’s co-workers at the deLacey Family Education Center regarded the longtime District 300 employee as their queen bee for her vast knowledge and eagerness to help.

Steenhausen, an early childhood specialist who died from cancer in October, had many dedicated “worker bees” because of her caring approach to education, said Megan Tracy, a speech language pathologist at deLacey.

Nearly six months after Steenhausen’s death, Tracy and 32 other employees from the Carpentersville-based school district have formed “The Queen’s Bees,” a team that will walk all night in remembrance of Steenhausen during the district’s fifth annual Relay for Life event that begins Friday evening.

Daniel Kenneth Howe 21, Woodstock

Residents along the Fox River should be prepared for major flooding, the National Weather Service said, as the area readies for another wet day.

Late Wednesday night, the weather service upgraded the level at which the Fox River will crest from moderate to major flooding.

The weather service anticipates Wednesday’s severe weather will continue today with damaging thunderstorm winds and hail larger than one inch in diameter.

The threat for isolated torna-

does also remains.

On Wednesday, the National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the Fox River at the Algonquin Tailwater. By Wednesday afternoon, the water level was at 10.21 feet. Rounds of heavy rain-producing thunderstorms also are expected today, which will continue the flooding threat.

“There could be flooding not just near creeks, streams and rivers, but we could also see some pretty significant flooding in low-lying areas,” said Gino Izzi, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The area’s recorded rainfall was as high as 2.26 inches in

Queen’s Bees have raised $12,400 Investigation considered closed • RELAY Continued from page B1 “Our whole school has come together more this year,” Tracy said. “It goes to show what a great person Joan was and how many lives she affected.”

Steenhausen affected countless employees, students and parents during her 34-year tenure at the district, Tracy said.

The Queen’s Bees would know best.

The team so far has raised $12,400 for the district’s Relay for Life event, which communities across the country conduct throughout the year to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

The team’s large fundraising total ranks them first out of the 92 other teams that have registered to participate in the District 300 relay.

By comparison, the district’s second-place team would need to raise more than $8,880 to surpass the Queen’s Bees.

T h e n u m e r o u s d o n ations that have been made in Steenhausen’s honor has surprised even Tracy, who is the captain of the team. The district employees, mostly Steenhausen’s co-workers at deLacey, originally set a goal of $5,000, then raised it to $10,000.

The group conducted donor drives throughout the year, including a penny drop where they asked families to donate loose change. But Tracy credited Steenhausen’s everlasting spirit and

“Joan was a remarkable person for the children of the district and the staff members,” Tracy said. “She was always there.”

Steenhausen was diagnosed last summer with a rare form of sarcoma, a cancer that typically originates in the soft tissue of the body.

Quickly after the diagnosis, the cancer spread from her back to her entire body, Tracy said.

Steenhausen was set to retire after this school year.

The cancer prevented her from working at deLacey when students returned to class last August.

The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 1.6 million Americans, including 66,000 Illinoisans, have been newly diagnosed with cancer in 2013. Of that total, 580,350 people have died.

Being a special needs child, she was one of the original residents of Pioneer Center for the exceptional near McHenry. She was employed there as an assembler from its inception until she retired in August 2012.

Every year she looked forward to vacationing in Wisconsin with many members of her family. This event is talked about throughout the year by “Huff” family members. Three generations of Huffs come together at a small resort and loved to have Sandy with them.

She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Marengo, and a former member of St. Joseph Church in Richmond and St. Thomas Church in Crystal Lake.

Sandra is survived by three sisters, Marilyn (Henry) Gaskin, Kathleen (Jim) Wahlen and Trudy (Mike) Schuh of Crystal Lake; a brother, Bob (Marge) Huff; and three sisters-in-law, Jean Huff-Goulet, Marlena Huff and Sue Huff.

She was preceded in death by four brothers, Larry, Don, Bill and Hal Huff.

DUNN MIZELL Born: Feb. 25, 1964; in Suffolk, England Died: April 14, 2013 CRYSTAL LAKE – Dunn Mizell, 49, of Crystal Lake passed away in his home Sunday, April 14, 2013.

He was born Feb. 25, 1964, at Mildenhall Air Force Base in Suffolk, England, and lived most of his life in Crystal Lake.

He was a member of the first graduating class that attended Crystal Lake South High School for all four years in 1982. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering and then began in earnest to pursue one of his passions, flying. Those who know the commercial airline business are aware that it is not an easy path, but Dunn persevered, ultimately becoming an A-320 Captain with United Airlines.

Dunn pursued everything with passion. He was the catcher on the 1976 Little League team (coached by his father) that won the city championship in an undefeated season. Dunn was a natural with a shotgun, much to the envy of his brother. Dunn was an avid PC gamer and spent many hours playing Age of Empires with the kids.

He loved spending time in Mexico with his wife and family. When he passed away, he was working on his third novel – an action novel, of course.

Dunn is survived by his wife, Michelle (Shelly) Mizell; children, Dunn, Kinch and Roth; stepchildren, Jarod, Kaiti and Emily; his parents, Chess and Patsy Mizell; and his brothers, Chess and Lee Mizell, and their families. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

DR. JAMES MICHAEL O’DONNELL SR. Born: May 29, 1939; in Monroe, Wis. Died: April 13, 2013; in Woodstock WOODSTOCK – Dr. James “Jim” O’Donnell, 73, of Woodstock, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 13, 2013.

He was born in Monroe, Wis., on May 29, 1939.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Linda Peters O’Donnell of Woodstock; a daughter, Deborah O’Donnell Willyard of Marietta, Ga.; a son, James M. O’Donnell Jr. of Kimberly, Wis.; two granddaughters, Heather and Jennifer Willyard of Marietta; a grandson, Andrew O’Donnell of Oshkosh, Wis.; a great-granddaughter, Malia Lynn Willyard of Marietta; a sister, Judith O’Donnell Schulze of Florence, S.C.; a brother, Jon O’Donnell of Decatur, Ga.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis and Irene O’Donnell.

Jim was a graduate of the 1957 class at Joliet Township High School in Joliet. He was an award-winning concert and marching band member who

proficiently played both clarinet and saxophone. Jim started singing very young and became a boy soprano. Jim was an avid tennis player in junior and senior high and received a tennis scholarship to college. He was ranked eighth in the Midwest for boys tennis. His love of music and tennis followed him all of his life. He was so proud of the fact that both his grandchildren shared his love of music, with Andrew playing the oboe and marching saxophone in his high school marching band and Heather achieving her master’s degree in flute performance.

He graduated from dental school at Loyola University in Chicago in 1964 and attained the rank of lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy for four years, and served with the Reserves for six years as a dentist at Moffett Field in Mountain View, Calif. He practiced dentistry for 40-plus years. Jim loved California and did spend the majority of his life living there, but always missed Illinois and Wisconsin and longed for his old life in the Midwest. In the 1990s, he and Linda bought a lake home in Waupaca, Wis., and that home on the Chain O’ Lakes ended up being a gathering place for family and friends. There were many good memories made while boating on the lake. He continued to practice dentistry as an associate in Wisconsin and was recently retired.

Jim usually started every conversation with a joke or two, and as one friend would put it, “you never knew where Jim was gonna show up.” He had a great love of family, friends, traveling, good food, sports, a good debate about current events and politics and life in general. His presence was always bigger than life, and he will be missed.

The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 20, at Davenport Family Funeral Home, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Route 176), Crystal Lake. Funeral services will be at the funeral home after the visitation at 11 a.m.

Inurnment will be private.

Sports editor: Jon Styf • jstyf@shawmedia.com BOSTON MARATHON

Through it all, we’ll continue to run Sue Gruner feels guilty.

Finishing a Boston Marathon had always been on her runner’s bucket list. It represented a once-in-a-lifetime chance to traverse the 26.2 miles that defines the sport.

So as the 47-year-old Hampshire woman approached the race’s finish line under sunny skies Monday afternoon, Gruner felt herself smile. Then she started to cry.

Photo provided The euphoria of reaching Sue Gruner (far left) stands with friends for a photo before Monday’s the end can only be underBoston Marathon. stood if you’ve been there

VIEWS Jeff Arnold yourself. The emotions that have been pent up for hours suddenly escape when the finish line first comes into sight.

The miles you’ve covered and the torture you’ve put your body through suddenly seems worth it as your journey – once considered impossible – comes down to a matter of steps.

So for Gruner, who was finishing her third marathon in less than a year, the tears were more than understandable. But funny things happen to your mind and body after 26.2 miles. Things get blurry.

You can’t figure out why you do things. Gruner can’t explain why she was running down the right side of Boylston Street, having crossed the finish line when the first bomb exploded on her left, throwing everything into utter chaos.

None of it makes sense.

For those of us who weren’t in Boston, the grisly photos and video clips sicken us.

Linda Bailey, the Lakewood woman who crossed the finish line 30 seconds before the first bomb detonated, said she had only seen such carnage in the movies.

But now, it’s real. Engrained in her memory, tarnishing what should have been one of the most memorable moments of her life.

BEARS

Model for the future

Schulz no longer a secret C-G sprinter fills role left by Ryan

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@shawmedia.com

The Bears’ Shea McClellin (left) has been called a model for future draft selections because of the linebacker’s versatility. He finished with 14 tackles and 2.5 sacks last year.

Bears like McClellin’s versatility

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Pick a sport, any sport. Shea McClellin probably can play it.

Pick a position, any position.

McClellin probably can play that, too.

For as long as the Bears’ defensive end can remember, he has been a versatile athlete.

“Oh yeah, definitely,” McClellin said Wednesday after the Bears wrapped up the second day of voluntary minicamp at the Walter Payton Center. “Basketball, I played one through five.

“I could play anything. At any sport, really.”

Hmm.

The Cubs might be interested.

Until then, McClellin is focused on helping the Bears. And the Bears are focused on collecting more players like McClellin.

Although the Bears have not implemented major changes to their 4-3 defensive scheme since new coordinator Mel Tucker took over for Lovie Smith and Rod Shea McClellin Marinelli, flexibility has been a buzzword at Halas Hall.

That could affect how the Bears approach next week’s draft, in which they have the No. 20 overall selection and five picks total.

Bears general manager Phil

Emery singled out McClellin as a model for future selections. McClellin was Emery’s first-ever draft choice at No. 19 overall last season.

At the time, the pick drew scrutiny because McClellin was viewed by many draft observers as more of an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme. But the Bears plugged in McClellin as a defensive end with his hand on the ground, and he responded with 2½ sacks and 14 quarterback pressures in 14 games as a rookie.

“We want players that transcend schemes,” said Emery, who also could trade down from No. 20 to gain extra picks. “Those are the best players to get, that have the most flexibility. …

Keeping out of the line of vision of a meticulous coach like CaryGrove’s Mark Anderson is no easy task.

Anderson prides himself in knowing what he has coming, whether it involves girls cross country in the fall or girls track and field in the spring. He doesn’t miss much.

He missed Morgan Schulz.

The unassuming sophomore played soccer last year, so she wasn’t running for the Trojans.

Sometime over the winter, a friend urged her to consider track because it was fun and C-G has won four consecutive McHenry County and Fox Valley Conference championships.

“I had no idea who she was,” Anderson said. “I’d never heard of her.”

All Schulz has done is step right into the role Sarah Ryan filled so remarkably for the past four years, C-G’s hammer in the 100 and 200 meters, and thrived.

C-G will look for its group of new sprinters, led by Schulz, to make integral contributions as it chases a fifth consecutive team title at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet today and Friday.

All county boys and girls teams will compete in the meet, which is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. today at Crystal Lake Central’s Owen Metcalf Field with field events and running preliminaries. The running finals will be held at C-G’s Al Bohrer Field on Friday.

“It’s always fun to try something new,” Schulz said. “My friend told me track’s really fun and the coaches are great.”

Schulz said she was used to tough running from soccer.

“It actually translates really well,” she said. “In soccer, you run the whole time. The running is similar, but in track you’re competing against people individually.”

Jazz see playoff hopes end

Athlete of the Week Lindsay Efflandt Cary-Grove, Sr. The Yale-bound senior pitcher threw two no-hitters, blanking Hampshire, 10-0, and Buffalo Grove, 1-0, three days later. Efflandt struck out seven and came within a walk of a perfect game. Against the Bison, she struck out 13 and allowed a walk before striking out 11 on Tuesday against McHenry when she ran her season record to 8-0.

Noteworthy Bringing it home: Besides winning, Marengo has a good reason to score runs at home this season. Advanced Disposal, an integrated environmental services company, is pledging $10 for every time the Indians cross the plate.

The money will be donated to the M.O.R.E Center (Marengo area OutReach Enterprises) to assist needy individuals and families in the area. According to a news release, Advanced Disposal has already raised $110 in the first three home games of the season.

Advance Disposal’s general manager, Cris Manley, said in the release the group has previously worked with Marengo’s baseball and football teams and that extending the project to the Indians’ softball team is another way for both the school and Advance Disposal to assist members of the community.

Finding a groove: Finding a coach who hasn’t been thrilled with this spring’s winter-like weather certainly isn’t difficult. Yet, despite another wet and blustery day Monday, McHenry blistered Crystal Lake South for eight runs and 12 hits, handing the Gators their first loss of the season with an 8-1 victory in a game called early because of – you guessed, it rain.

As miserable as the playing conditions were, Warriors coach John DiFransesca was glad to see his team’s bats finally heat up. Getting a true idea of what he really has to work with has been made more difficult by the season’s inclement weather.

“We haven’t completely found ourselves,” said Lukas, whose team improved to 7-4 with the FVC Valley win. “We’re looking for that identity and we like the trends, but because of the weather , there has been no consistency – line-ups, pitching arms – everything.”

This Week’s Top Games Jacobs at Crystal Lake South Today, 4:30 p.m.

After starting the season with seven straight wins, South has hit a bit of a rough stretch this week when the Gators have played four games in four days. Jacobs seems to have its offense rolling after scoring 10 runs Tuesday against Huntley , making for a interesting Valley Division meeting today at South.

Crystal Lake Central at Johnsburg Today, 4:30 p.m.

This Fox Division matchup involves two teams trying to get rolling in Division play. Megan Mahaffy is coming off a no-hitter for the Tigers while Johnsburg’s Kendall Huemann was impressive in a one-hitter in a 10-0 win over Hampshire.

Bring on the playoffs CHICAGO – As basketball fans, we have become pretty spoiled in this town.

Yeah, sure, a spot in the NBA playoffs is nice. So is a turkey sandwich.

Ever since a certain player who wore No. 23 lifted the Bulls to No. 1 status, we measure success in championships.

That’s how it should be.

Everyone remembers which team hugs the trophy at the end of the playoffs, not which team won 40 or 50 or 60 games during the regular season.

Maybe that’s why the Bulls’ upcoming first-round playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets feels kind of like trying to ride a bicycle on a pair of flat tires. It probably won’t take us very far, and it will be grueling along the way.

But even though the Bulls will not win a championship, the playoffs matter to thirdyear coach Tom Thibodeau and his players.

And if you tuned out for most of the season while the rest of us obsessed over Derrick Rose’s progress and

VIEWS Tom Musick cringed at every new injury, now is a good time to tune in.

Why the Bulls will win The Bulls might be missing Rose, a one-time MVP who by far and away is their best player, but they have proved throughout the regular season that they can win without him. Nate Robinson has stepped up to provide a scoring threat in the backcourt, while Carlos Boozer has been productive in the low post despite serving as a lightning rod for criticism.

Ultimately, if the Bulls win a playoff series, it will be because of top-notch defense.

That has been the staple of Thibodeau’s teams, with or without Rose, and that has been the biggest reason why the short-handed Bulls have beaten teams with greater individual talent.

Why the Bulls will lose The Bulls’ try-hard

“The reason Shea is an important player and the reason we picked him where we did was because he had versatility as a player. He can do a lot of things. We’re looking for those types of players: Players that are high-end, dynamic athletes that can do a lot of things.”

McClellin wants to take a leap forward as a second-year player. He said he shed fat and gained five to seven pounds of muscle this offseason, which now puts him at 258 pounds.

At that playing weight, McClellin could remain in his role as a pass-rushing defensive end or become a rover on defense who could create matchup problems. He said he has worked exclusively at defensive end so far this spring but was willing to fill any role.

“You never know,” said

One playoff series win is better than none at all.

Rose is one of the most exciting players in the NBA, and he will be back next season with the goal of leading

Bulls lock up No. 5 seed in East with win

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 15 rebounds to help the Bulls clinch the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 95-92 win over the Washington Wizards in the regular-season finale Wednesday.

Bottom line

the Bulls to a deep playoff run.

In the meantime, building-block players such as Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler can benefit from a much-needed dose of playoff success one season after a forgettable first-round loss to Philadelphia.

Noah has appeared in 31 career playoff games to go along with 396 regular-season games. Gibson has 27 playoff contests under his belt to go along with 290 regular-season games. Butler needs the experience even more, appearing in only three playoff games as a rookie.

Frankly, we all could benefit from watching some playoff hoops.

Besides, what else are we going to do? Wash dishes?

Take out the trash? Mow the lawn?

No thanks.

Bring on the postseason, no matter how long it lasts.

approach yields great results during the regular season, when many teams go through the motions at three-quarters speed and shrug off the occasional bad loss.

But when the playoffs start, every team tries to win as hard as the Bulls do, and everyone has the same insatiable appetite for success as the Bulls’ hard-driving coach.

Ultimately, the Bulls could fall short in the course of a series because they lack a go-to scorer when the moment matters most. That player was supposed to be Rose, who rejoined the team in practice in February, but he remains hesitant to test his repaired knee in real games, and he appears content to watch from the sidelines while his teammates go to work.

“The reason Shea is an important player and the reason we picked him where we did was because he had versatility as a player. He can do a lot of things.

We’re looking for those types of players ...”

Phil Emery, Bears general manager

A.J. Price scored a career-high 24 points and John Wall overcame a slow start to finish with 23 for the Wizards, who kept coming back every time it looked as though the Bulls were ready to put them away.

The Bulls led by 21 late in the first quarter but allowed Washington to pull within a point in the second. The Bulls then got the lead back up to 11 in the third, but the

Wizards rallied again.

This time, Washington tied it at 85 on a 3-pointer by Price with more than three minutes left before the Bulls responded with seven unanswered points. Richard Hamilton fed Jimmy Butler for an alley-oop dunk, Hinrich hit a floater and Luol Deng nailed a 3 – after missing five of his first six field goal attempts – to make it 92-85 with 1:42 remaining.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Zach Randolph had 25 points and 19 rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies ended Utah’s playoff hopes with an 86-70 victory over the Jazz on Wednesday.

The Grizzlies’ victory means the Los Angeles Lakers are assured of making the playoffs even before their late game against the Houston Rockets.

Heat 105, Magic 93: At Miami, Dwyane Wade scored 21 points and handed out 10 assists, Mike Miller added 21 points and the Miami Heat wrapped up the regular season with a win over the Magic.

The Heat (66-16) became the 14th team in NBA history to finish with a winning percentage over .800, and did so with LeBron James away from the team for the day while tending to a personal matter.

Knicks 98, Hawks 92: At New York, Carmelo Anthony won the scoring title without playing, and the Atlanta Hawks lost their chance to move up in the East standings.

Nets 103, Pistons 99: At Brooklyn, Brook Lopez scored 20 points and reserve Andray Blatche added 15 as the playoff-bound Nets held off the Pistons.

Timberwolves 108, Spurs 95: At San Antonio, Derrick Williams had 21 points to help the Timberwolves beat the Spurs, ending a 16-game losing streak at San Antonio.

Raptors 114, Celtics 90: At Toronto, DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Rudy Gay had 19 points and nine rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors routed the Boston Celtics, finishing their season with five straight wins.

Bucks 95, Thunder 89: At Oklahoma City, rookie John Henson scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, Brandon Jennings had 17 points and the Bucks beat the Thunder in a regular-season finale lacking any postseason implications.

Mavericks 99, Hornets 87: At Dallas, Darren Collison scored 25 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 16 and the Dallas Mavericks finished their worst season in 13 years on a winning note, beating New Orleans in its final game as the Hornets.

Bobcats 105, Cavaliers 98: At Charlotte, N.C., Kemba Walker had 24 points and seven assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers to avoid finishing in the NBA cellar for a second consecutive season.

76ers 105, Pacers 95: At Indianapolis, Dorell Wright scored 23 points and Evan Turner added 16, leading Philadelphia to a victory over short-handed Indiana in what was likely Doug Collins’ final game as the 76ers coach.

Nuggets 118, Suns 98: At Denver, the Denver Nuggets secured the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs by routing the Suns behind 21 points from Wilson Chandler and 20 from Andre Iguodala.

McClellin, who played both linebacker and defensive end during college at Boise State.

“I could be doing something else, but for now I’m playing D-end.”

According to his coaches, he is playing the position quite well.

McClellin will “get what he earns,” as Tucker said Wednesday, and that very well could mean more snaps on defense. The Bears’ group of defensive ends also includes Peppers, Corey Wootton, Turk McBride, Cheta Ozougwu and Aston Whiteside.

It’s possible that Israel

Idonije could return to the Bears, but for now he remains an unrestricted free agent.

Idonije registered 7 ½ sacks opposite Peppers last season, and McClellin could help to fill the veteran’s void if he does not return.

Tucker seems to think that McClellin is capable.

“He’s athletic,” Tucker said. “He’s got pass-rush ability. He’s very conscientious about getting better each and every day.

“I saw the ability on tape, and I see it here on the practice field. I’m very encouraged.”

TORONTO – Tyler Flowers and Alex Rios did enough damage against J.A. Happ that Jose Quintana didn’t need to be at his best.

The White Sox left-hander was anyway.

Flowers and Rios each homered and Quintana pitched 6⅔ innings to lead the White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

It’s tough, as you saw,” Happ said.

The Sox have won two straight after dropping the opener of the four-game series Monday.

Injuries have been a problem for the Blue Jays, who played their third game in a row without right fielder Jose Bautista. Bautista has a sore back and is listed as day-to-day, while shortstop Jose Reyes will miss about three months with a severely sprained ankle.

After a two-out double by Dayan Viciedo and a walk to Alexei Ramirez in the second, the Sox took a 3-0 lead when Flowers sent a 2-1 fastball into the seats in right-center for his third homer of the season.

PITTSBURGH – A.J. Burnett took a no-hitter into the seventh inning nearly 12 years after throwing the only one of his career, pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.

8SPORTS SHORTS

Theme of fishing in spring is taking it slow I don’t exactly know what the slogan “Speed Kills” was originally used in reference to, but it definitely applies to spring fishing.

Now that we are beginning open water fishing, we are excited. We want to hit all the different ponds, lakes and rivers. We want to try out all of our baits and techniques.

So many things to do in so little time.

Relax. Slow down. You have all spring, summer and fall to accomplish your open water goals. This is the time to take things slow.

Most importantly, you need to realize that the fish are just beginning to awaken from their winter doldrums caused by low metabolisms.

They can be hungry, but they aren’t aggressive. They want to eat, but they want it served to them, they aren’t in the mood to go chasing after their dinner. They’ll eat smaller meals because their brains know that they have plenty of time to fill up. Slow is the word, followed by small.

Jigs, tipped with either live bait or various plastics, are an effective spring presentation. If you use live bait, try pieces of nightcrawler or small minnows. Forget about leeches, they just ball up on the hook in cold water. Plastics should be tiny, like grubs.

Save the big six-inch reaper tails for June.

If you fish with jigs, reel them in as slow as you can.

Give the reel a half-crank and then stop and wait. The old

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley saying is, “If you think you are going slowly, slow down twice as much.” It’s not a race. It can be excruciatingly painful to fish that slowly, but it is what you need to do in order to catch fish in April.

As far as size is concerned, please realize that more muskies are caught in April by crappie fishermen using tiny minnows and bass fishermen using small lures than guys tossing traditional musky presentations. Save the big Suicks, Grandmas and Depth Raiders for a month or two.

Remember that all fish are looking for warm water. The north sides of lakes receive the longest sunlight, therefore they warm faster. You can also look for areas where rainwater runs into a lake.

The rainwater is warmer than the lake water and where it empties into a lake or pond creates a magnet-like effect for the fish.

Objects also collect heat from the sun more rapidly, too, so look for logs and the like.

The fish are shallow right now. Most anglers don’t think that fish will go as shallow as they truly are right now.

Walleyes in a foot of water are not uncommon.

Most fish are available to you in less than six feet

of water. Don’t waste your time chasing fish in the deep water.

Fishing update: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “Crappie fishing on the Fox Chain and Fox River have been very good! The backs of cuts and bays with downed trees or docks have been the best areas. Small jigs, Mini-Mites or Flu-Flu jigs all will work well with a fathead minnow or wax worm. Catfishing on the Fox has also been good! Cutbait or night crawlers with an egg weight will work well. Bass fishing at Three Oaks will pick up as the water warms.

Use Rat-L-Traps or Senkos in the shallow bays.” Call 815455-2040 for updated reports.

For up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River, go tofoxwaterway.state.il.us/ or call 847-587-8540.

Archery popularity helps TAZ

By STEVE SARLEY sportsdesk@nwherald.com The sport of archery is enjoying a boom in participation.

On the trendy north side of Chicago, clubs and ranges are popping up, and bows and arrows are the latest fad. In Northern Illinois, archery is skyrocketing because of people taking it up for life, not just until the next temporary rage comes along.

Woodstock’s Tim Zimmerman and his TAZ Archery shop and range are proof positive of the growing popularity of archery and bowhunting.

Zimmerman first opened TAZ three years ago and has just moved to a new location in the past two weeks, growing from 2,800 square feet to 7,000 square feet at 11908 Catalpa Lane.

Zimmerman’s 35-yard-by-20-yard archery range is the largest in Northern Illinois.

Zimmerman has been married to his wife, Ann-Marie, for 14 years. They have two sons, Luke, age 5 and Nathan, age 8. Everyone in the family is an archer and the boys began shooting at 18 months old.

Zimmerman is rated as a professional archer, meaning that he won enough to climb through the amateur ranks to reach his elite position seven years ago.

He is a national 3-D archery champion. He used to compete twice a month, traveling to places like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida regularly.

“I’ll get back into competition one day,” he said. “My kids and the store have taken up so much time. I don’t regret doing it, though.

I’ve been shooting since I was 14. I used to hunt with my dad. At 19, I started working at archery shops. I’ve been giving lessons for many years. It just seemed natural to get into the world of retail, so I opened the store.”

Zimmerman rates a trip he made to Montana for mule deer with his father and brother as his all-time favorite hunting experience.

“You know, one of the reasons I did it was

ILLINOIS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Illini add transfers to bolster shooting

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Illinois is adding two transfers to its suddenly thin roster in the form of two shooters, one who could help right away and one who will have to sit out a season Coach John Groce said Wednesday that Illinois State forward Jon Ekey and Seton Hall guard Aaron Crosby have agreed to join Illinois. Ekey will play immediately as a graduate-student transfer, while Crosby, who will be a junior next season, will have to sit out under NCAA rules.

“Jon is a skilled forward who will be a great fit in our system,” Groce said. “He has a high basketball IQ, is an exceptional shooter, and also defends, blocks shots and rebounds.

Ekey was a 44.6 percent shooter and averaged 6.4 points and 4.2 rebounds a game last season. He started 18 games and played in all 33 under first-year coach

Dan Muller. The previous season, under then-coach Tim Jankovic, Ekey averaged 9 points and almost 5 rebounds a game in 32 starts.

Crosby started 27 games last season at guard for Seton Hall and averaged 12.6 points, including hitting 66 of his 165 3-point attempts.

He was second on the team in assists with 92.

“Aaron is versatile guard who impacts the game in a number of areas,” Groce said. “He was a 40-percent 3-point shooter in the Big East, so he’s obviously a tremendous shooter. But in addition to his shooting and scoring ability, he can handle the ball and make plays for others Illinois is losing seniors Brandon Paul, Tyler Griffey and D.J. Richardson, three of the best shooters off of last season’s 23-13 NCAA tournament team. Paul led the team with 16.6 points a game. He and Richardson took more than half the team’s 3-point shots, hitting on a combined 161-498 (32.3 percent).

Woodstock’s Tim Zimmerman has seen a boom with his TAZ Archery shop and range, which moved to a new location two weeks ago. The shop grew from 2,800 square feet to 7,000 square feet, and the archery range is the largest in Northern Illinois. because I enjoy dealing with people, especially the kids. We devote a lot of effort at TAZ to teaching women and children the sport of archery.”

“Tim is really personable and he really loves dealing with kids,” said TAZ employee Parker Simes, of Woodstock. “He really likes to get them set up correctly and then teaches them and watches them shoot correctly.”

“You know, the last Olympics really got a lot of people interested in archery,” Zimmerman said. “Then you have the books and movie of ‘The Hunger Games.’ That was the next bump in popularity. This was all very good for the sport and good for TAZ archery.”

It is rumored that there are at least three more “Hunger Games” movies coming to the big screen. So interest could spike again.

• SCHULZ Continued from page C1 C-G’s Annie McGarrigle, Jenni Maki, Kathie Wollney and Ryan rewrote almost every 4x200 relay record there was last season. Now, Anderson has reloaded with sprinters like Nicole Robins, Lauren Schoepke, Allie Renner and Maggie Cherveny, although Schulz leads the way. She has an 11.9 100 and a school-record 25.0 200 to her credit so far.

“The last time I ran was in seventh grade,” Schulz said. “I think I won all my races.”

Anderson was not alone in not knowing the speed Schulz has.

“I don’t think anyone

really knew,” junior Faith Furio said. “When we started the indoor season, we saw her and thought, ‘She’s faster than we thought.’

None of us really knew.

She’s a super-sweet girl and she’s so humble about it all. I wasn’t sure anyone was going to break Sarah Ryan’s records.”

Ryan graduated as one of the area’s most decorated sprinters. She tied the county meet 100 record last season and anchored the 4x200. She qualified for the Class 3A Girls Track and Field State Meet in the 100, 200, 4x100 and 4x200.

“We’ve been very happy with the way we’ve been able to restock after the talent that graduated and still be a competitive team,” Anderson said.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

Bombing threatens one of few true communities left

By TRACEE HAMILTON The Washington Post My first feeling Monday when I heard the news from Boston was not shock. My second feeling was sadness at not being shocked. Not that many years ago, bombs going off at a sporting event would have been stunning. No longer.

Sporting events must seem like irresistible targets to people damaged enough to build and detonate bombs like the two that exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three and wounding more than 170. After all, sports attracts families, the elderly and the very young, couples, singles, work outings, birthday parties.

And people who attend sporting events are almost always happy, at least at the outset. They occasionally get angry and sometimes – when alcohol is involved – they get rowdy.

But in general, fans at sporting events seem to be having a good time. And that can be a powerful trigger to terrorists, foreign and domestic, organized into groups or just a couple of disaffected and determined nut jobs building bombs in a basement.

Large events such as the Super Bowl and the Olympics are literally saturated with security. The Olympics tightened security for athletes after the tragedy in Munich in 1972 and again after the bombing in Atlanta in 1996, which happened not in a venue but in a public space created specifically for people to unwind downtown.

No matter their particular agenda, terrorists seem to want to

strike at the hearts of their victims, literally and figuratively. In this country, that makes sports a natural target. There are people who don’t care for any kind of organized sports, but they are outnumbered by the legions who follow something and can picture themselves as part of a crowd like the one at the finish line on Boylston Street, when joy and laughter turned to sorrow and screams – and then, inevitably, to acts of bravery and heroism.

We live in a country with a lot of advantages, and our citizenry is sometimes regarded as pampered and soft. Then something like Boston happens, or 9/11, or Oklahoma City, and we see America and Americans at their finest. That is the lone consolation of attacks like Boston’s: seeing our country pick itself up out of the rubble and get to work trying to save lives – and for some, to start hunting for the perpetrators of this senseless act.

The resilience of Americans is wonderful, but it’s been acquired in a hard school.

So what’s the answer? More security at events? It goes without saying that the Boston Marathon will never be the same event it was before Monday afternoon around 3 p.m., just as air travel forever changed on Sept. 11, 2001. Organizers of other road races, such as our own Marine Corps Marathon, will re-evaluate their own security measures. So will team owners and facility managers.

For some sports fans, turnstiles will no longer be an appealing option. Many already are choosing the comfort of their living rooms

and high-definition TVs over the time and money necessary to attend events. Will this drive more people into their basements? Will we, as a society, continue to turn inward, choosing communication with strangers via Twitter over talking to fellow fans in neighboring seats?

So many communities aren’t communities any longer; they are fragmented by social or political or economic differences. Sports communities remain. College fans gather at local watering holes to watch games with their fellow alums. NFL season ticket holders become fast friends with the fans in the seats around them, even if they meet just eight Sundays a year. And the running community is one of the strongest. Runners often run alone, but they have shared experiences, and they’re incredibly supportive of each other.

Even people on opposing sides can find common ground at sporting events. Cardinals fans will be thrown together with Nats fans next week at Nationals Park.

They’ll root for different outcomes, but they’ll have a love of baseball in common. When Pittsburgh comes to Verizon Center, I always see couples walking hand in hand on F Street, one in a Penguins jersey, the other in a Caps jersey. They love hockey, just not the same hockey team. Even the most shy among us can strike up a conversation based on a jersey.

Those experiences are what will be lost if spectators decide to avoid sporting events, and that’s a shame.

We have very few communities to spare these days.

Actions of select few should not stop life • ARNOLD Continued from page C1 My memories of crossing the finish line of the Chicago Marathon last year came rushing back to me Monday. I remember turning off Michigan Avenue and approaching the big red banner with huge white letters with F-IN-I-S-H printed across it. A race official running next to me with a megaphone, yelled, “You just finished the Chicago Marathon.”

My wife, who was only a few minutes behind me, had promised me that she was going to cry once she reached the finish. Other friends who had competed in marathons had told me just to let it all go. To yell, to scream, to cry. To do whatever I needed to to celebrate.

Like Gruner, my body hurt.

The bottoms of my feet burned.

Gruner’s quads felt like they were on fire. Her surgically repaired knee was screaming for her to stop running. But after you’ve come so far, your mind ignores what your body pleads for.

Monday should have been a day of great celebration for Gruner.

But at least for now, she can’t accept that.

“I feel really guilty for being happy for something I worked

so hard for because of so many horrific things that happened to so many people,” Gruner said Wednesday, her voice cracking with emotion. “It’s just so unfair that somebody or whoever did this....I just don’t understand. So I didn’t want to celebrate. It seems selfish to talk about.”

In time, Gruner may allow herself to cherish her accomplishment. But not now. Not yet. Not when so many of the emotions she feels are all still so fresh.

Gruner loves to run. She loves the friends she runs alongside and the support she feels when she covers a race course.

So it will be those feelings that will allow her to move on. To keep running. She is unwilling to allow one horrible day – as explainable and confusing as it is – to keep her from creating new memories.

Sunday’s London Marathon will go on as scheduled. On Tuesday, Carey Pinkowski – the executive director of the Chicago Marathon – issued a statement re-affirming the race’s dedication to make the 45,000 runners who participate feel as safe as possible at a time when many who registered for the race in Feburary may be having second thoughts.

Gruner and her husband had planned to remain in Boston until

Notes: The Greg Norman-designed course was the site of the PGA Tour’s now-defunct AT&T Classic from 19972008. Champions Tour rookie Duffy Waldorf shares the course record of 63

Friday. Instead, they returned home Tuesday, still shaken by Monday’s god-awful scene.

If given the chance to quality for the Boston Marathon for a second time, Gruner would gladly return in an effort to try and erase the images that fill her head: The smoke, bricks falling off buildings, the sounds of law enforcement officers telling her to keep running when everything inside her told her to stop.

So perhaps that’s the message here: Not to allow what we saw take place in Boston convince us to stop. Not to allow the actions of a select few to determine our life’s course and to press on as hard as that may seem to do right now.

In time, everything we cherish will slowly come back, giving us the resolve to move out of the shadow of unforgettable tragedy and closer to the smiles and cheers that push us closer to crossing items off our own individual bucket list.

“I will continue to run,” Gruner said.

Words to live by.

Parenthood fears escalate Dear Abby: My husband and I are contemplating starting a family. When I was younger, I wanted children, but over the years my personal experiences have caused trepidation.

Because of divorce and the custody battles of my older siblings, I know the amount of blood, sweat and tears that go into children.

I work in the field of social services. Every day I am confronted with families who struggle with more children than they can care for and with behavioral and emotional problems. Frankly, it has turned me off. I am terrified of all the “what ifs.”

I can’t talk to my family because I don’t want to tell them they have created part of my problem. My in-laws can’t understand why we don’t have children yet.

My husband keeps insisting “everything will be fine.” I love him deeply, and he would make an amazing father. My heart wants this, but my head isn’t sure. I can’t picture our future without children, but the fear of actually having them brings me to tears. Can you help me? – Scared To Take The Next Step Dear Scared: Children don’t come with 100 percent, moneyback guarantees. What they need to thrive is parents who love each other and them, and who are willing to put forth the time and energy to raise them.

I don’t know what went wrong in your siblings’ marriages,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips but it appears their kids have been used as pawns rather than having their own interests put first. If both parents cooperated in the interests of the children, there would be no battles.

Please do not allow the dysfunction you have seen in your work to influence your decision. You and your husband will not be having more children than you can afford, and I assume you are approaching the idea of parenthood in a mature fashion. I would caution you about one thing, however. Having a child because of pressure from your in-laws would be a poor reason to embark upon parenthood.

Dear Abby: I’m at a crossroads. I have been married for 15 years and have two children. I love my wife and have been content with this life for a long time. However, for years I have felt like something was missing.

I recently become close friends with a man who is in the same situation. One day he confided he is gay and has known it for more than 10 years. He told me he, too, had been content with his life but had grown increasingly depressed before we met.

As our friendship has developed, I have come to realize

that I’m gay, as well. It was a struggle to finally admit this to myself, but I accept it’s the truth. My friend and I have been exploring our sexuality together, and he says he is happier than he has been in years.

Both of us love our wives and children; however, we desperately need to fulfill our own needs, as well. Do you have any advice on the best way to move forward that will have minimal impact on everyone involved? – In A Difficult Situ-

ation Dear In: You say you have known for years that something was missing. Well, it is possible that your wives have felt the same way, and may have blamed themselves for it.

That’s why it is important for you and your friend to explain everything to them honestly.

It would be helpful for everyone who will be affected to seek counseling and receive the emotional support they will need through this lifechanging transition. You and your lover should go online and find the nearest gay and lesbian community center.

(Visit www.lgbtcenters.org for a complete list.) Your wives should contact the Straight Spouse Network, which has been mentioned in my column many times. It can be reached at www.straightspouse.org.

Combat burning mouth syndrome Dear Dr. K: For months, my mouth has been painfully burning and tingling. What could be causing my symptoms? Are there any treatments for it?

Dear Reader: Several conditions can cause a burning sensation in the mouth. Some nutritional deficiencies – particularly of B vitamins, iron and zinc – can cause it. These problems can be detected by simple blood tests.

Medicines that cause the mouth to become dry (due to decreased saliva production) can result in mouth irritation.

There are too many of these medicines to list here, but check a reliable website that provides information about drugs and their side effects.

Sometimes a person can develop an allergy to dentures and related adhesive creams, toothpastes or mouthwashes that produce irritation of the tissues of the mouth. You can experiment by seeing what happens when you stop using one of these potential allergy triggers (and substituting a different brand).

Conditions that damage small nerves, such as diabetes, can cause mouth pain. So can mouth infections, particularly with fungus (yeast).

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff There also is a condition called burning mouth syndrome (BMS) that produces a burning – sometimes scalding – sensation on the lips and tongue and throughout the mouth. In BMS, the pain is present for at least some part of every day, the tissues of the mouth look normal (not irritated or inflamed) to the doctor or dentist, and the conditions I have mentioned already are not present.

Doctors don’t know what causes BMS. Some think it is a psychiatric condition, but I’m dubious about that.

I think when doctors don’t understand the cause of a person’s symptoms, we sometimes think (and say to our patient) the symptoms are just imaginary. That may make us feel better, but it doesn’t make the patient feel so great. And if there really is a problem we’re ignoring, we have failed.

Now, if you told me you were having pain because a small lizard was chewing on the roof of your mouth, I

might start to suspect a psychiatric problem.

I’d bet BMS is caused by subtle damage of the main nerve that detects pain in the mouth, the trigeminal nerve.

Indeed, one study provides support for that theory.

Low doses of tricyclic drugs or certain medicines often used for seizures may help reduce the symptoms. So may certain pain-killing medicines and creams applied directly to the parts of the mouth that hurt.

There are steps you can take to reduce your mouth discomfort. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recommends the following to keep symptoms at bay: • Sip water frequently.

• Suck on ice chips.

• Avoid irritating substances. These include hot, spicy foods; mouthwashes that contain alcohol; and high-acid foods such as citrus fruits and juices.

• Chew sugarless gum.

• Avoid alcohol and tobacco.

Studio hunts for sequel THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, April 18, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com

A follow-up to “Snow White and the Huntsman” is moving forward, though it’s still unclear if Kristen Stewart will return as the warrior princess.

Universal Pictures Chairman Adam Fogelson says the studio is aiming for a 2015 release on the sequel to last year’s fairy-tale action story.

The movie became overshadowed by headlines surrounding Stewart’s affair with her “Snow White” director, Rupert Sanders. The revelation temporarily broke up Stewart’s romance with “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson, though they later reconciled.

Fogelson said Tuesday at the CinemaCon convention for theater owners in Las Vegas that a sequel is in the works.

Shakira says ex lied

Aniston loves producer role Jennifer Aniston may have played a terrible manager in the 2011 comedy “Horrible Bosses,” but in real life the actor turned-director/ producer says she’s a total “pushover” when in charge.

Aniston executive produced the upcoming television movie “Call Me Crazy: A Five Film,” a compilation of short films about mental illness premiering April 20 on Lifetime.

At the movie’s premiere Tuesday in Los Angeles, Aniston admitted she’s a hardworking, no-nonsense boss who loves seeing a film come together from the ground up.

Though audiences are used to watching the “Friends” actress in big budget blockbusters, Aniston finds passion projects like “Call Me Crazy” most-fulfilling.

“These are the things you wake up excited about,” she said.

The film’s star-studded cast and directors include Jennifer Hudson, Melissa Leo and Ashley Judd.

According to Lifetime, the five short films that comprise “Call Me Crazy” are named after each title character – Lucy, Eddie, Allison, Grace and Maggie.

“Powerful relationships built on hope and triumph raise a new understanding of what happens when a loved one struggles with mental illness,” according to the website.

Pop star Shakira says her hips don’t lie but her ex-boyfriend does.

The singer and coach on “The Voice” is asking a New York judge to throw out a $250 million lawsuit filed by her

McCartney lends voice Paul McCartney is adding his voice to Tony Bennett’s campaign against gun violence.

The former Beatle recorded a voice message that’s part of a text-to-call operation Wednesday for Bennett’s Voices Against Violence campaign.

McCartney and others are encouraging Americans to send a text, which will lead to the singer’s message and connect the caller to their local Senate office after providing their zip code.

Tim Hiller unloads palettes of water-treatment salt at Huemann Water Conditioning in Johnsburg.

Making water better More county residents using treatment systems

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – When Sue Harder first moved to Lake in the Hills from Chicago about a year and a half ago, she was happy about her new home.

What she wasn’t particularly thrilled about was her tap water.

“I’m used to (Chicago) water,” said Harder, adding that city water in Chicago comes from Lake Michigan, and is soft, something not commonly found in McHenry County water sources. “My son had moved out several months before I did, and he was having a new water softener put in.”

Her son’s softener was installed

by Huemann Water Conditioning of Johnsburg. And soon, Harder was a steadfast customer of the generationsold company, too.

“The guys were just so pleasant and they were so accommodating,” she said, adding that she not only bought a new softener, but takes regular salt deliveries from Huemann, as well.

Huemann Water Conditioning is an offshoot of a family business that’s been serving Johnsburg and a growing radius around it since 1902. Huemann Water Conditioning President Joseph J. Huemann is the fourth generation in the water business, which started with the Jos. H. Huemann and Sons well drilling company.

That company still exists, and now is run by Joe Huemann’s cousins, Jeff Huemann and Jeni Hopp.

Joseph J. Huemann’s father, Tom Huemann, split from the well drilling company which at that time was run

by Tom’s father, Joseph G. Huemann, in the ’60s.

“I am second generation in the water treatment business, fourth generation in the water business and a firstgeneration plumber,” said Joseph J. Huemann, who started working with

NEW YORK – As evidence of a slowing global economy grows, investors are showing some caution just one week after U.S. stocks hit an all-time high.

Stocks fell Wednesday amid fresh signs of weakness in Europe, where car sales are plunging and unemployment is rising. A lackluster earnings report from Bank of America and an apparent drop in demand for Apple’s iPod and iPhone contributed to the selling, dragging financial and technology stocks lower.

On Monday, stocks sank after a report showed slower-than-expected growth in China. Metals, energy and other commodities have been hit hard this week and that has dragged down the stocks of miners and drillers and companies that provide services to them.

The Dow Jones Industrial average fell 135 points, or 0.9 percent, to 14,622 as of 3:13 p.m. Wednesday, wiping out most of the gains made Tuesday. The Dow is down 1.6 percent this week after slumping 265 points on Monday, and is almost 2 percent below the all-time high of 14,865 reached last Thursday.

Despite the recent selling, the Dow is still 11.6 percent higher this year and the S&P 500 is up 8.8 percent. And while falling energy prices may hurt energy stocks now, in the long run they should put more money into the pockets of consumers and drive spending.

Reports this week have added to a picture slowing global growth.

New car sales in Europe fell 10 percent in the first quarter, the European automakers association said Wednesday, as high unemployment saps demand for big purchases. Britain said Wednesday that unemployment rose to 7.9 percent during the three months ending in February, an increase of 0.2 percent from the previous three months.

Technology stocks also fell sharply, led by Apple.

The Nasdaq composite index fell 59.4 points, or 1.8 percent, to 3,204. Apple, which makes up 8 percent of the index, slumped 5.5 percent to $403.

Demolition makes way for VW dealership

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crews began tearing down a crumbling former car dealership on Route 14 this week to make way for a white, modern, standalone Volkswagen dealership.

Anderson Motor Co. plans to build a 30,494-square-foot sales and service center at the site of former Conlon Collins Ford building at 5213 Route 14. Crews plan to raze the structure in the coming days and weeks.

Anderson Motor Co. will relocate its Volkswagen operations from its multi-brand dealership on Route 31 to the new dealership on Route 14.

It’s set to open either late this year or early next year, said Paul Vance, general manager of Anderson Motor Co. Initially, Anderson Motor Co. had considered renovating the building, but ultimately decided against it.

“It was too dilapidated,” Vance said. “It wasn’t cost effective.”

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Anderson Motor Co. plans to build a 30,494-square-foot sales and service center at the site of former Conlon Collins Ford building at 5213 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Crystal Lake has pledged the company up to $1 million through a sales-tax incentive deal to help with the project. The expansion will bring jobs and sales tax revenue to the city and improve what has been a blighted area along the city’s main commercial corridor.

Earlier this month, the Crystal Lake City Council signed off on final plans for the site, which had become an eyesore following years of neglect. The council granted zoning variations for landscaping and lighting for the dealership. The lighting will be “almost exactly” as

bright as the Pauly Toyota dealership on Route 31, according to city documents.

“We’re very excited about their plans,” Mayor Aaron Shepley said.

“They are a good community partner and we’re happy to have them on Route 14.”

Anderson planned to spend $6.4 million on the project, which includes the cost of purchasing the property. Under the city’s Enhanced Sales Tax Incentive Program, Anderson stands to recoup half of what is generated from both the new dealership and its existing one at 360 N. Route 31 for up to 10 years or until it reaches $1 million.

Assuming a 3 percent to 5 percent annual increase in sales, city officials previously said $1 million can be reached in nine years. In 2011, Anderson Motors reported $20 million in sales that generated $207,000 in sales-tax revenue, according to the city.

Continued from page D1 Joe Huemann also recalls that when he was 16, Huemann Water Conditioning employed three people. It employs 18 today, and between them, they visit roughly 100 homes in McHenry and Lake counties daily, he said.

The business sells, installs and services water softeners and reverse-osmosis drinking water systems. It also sells and delivers softener salt.

The company maintains roughly 30,000 accounts, up from about 10,000 in 1995.

The growth has been marked not only by population increases, but also by significantly greater percentages of residential use of water treatment systems.

“In the ’60s, one out of 50 homeowners did something (about treating their water),” said Huemann, 53. “Nowadays, 90 percent of people do something to make their water better.”

While Huemann does commercial work, most customers are homeowners who prefer

soft water for bathing, drinking and laundering. In addition, he said, “People are generally more concerned about their drinking water.”

Huemann recommended that anyone anxious about possible unhealthy levels of naturally occurring or manmade elements in their water have a lab analysis done before calling Huemann, which will provide a free treatment system consultation. Among naturally occurring elements in McHenry County are barium and radium (generally problematic only for deep wells of 1,000 feet or more), and arsenic.

Huemann offers conditioning systems ranging in price from about $500 to $3,000, and reverse-osmosis systems that provide high-quality filtered drinking water.

Will a fifth generation take over? That chapter remains unwritten.

“My children and my sister’s kids all have worked here,” Huemann said.

“They’re all in their 20s, and are now seeing what the world offers.”

Deal OK’d in Muslims’ suit against McDonald’s

By JEFF KAROUB Associated Press DETROIT – A judge on Wednesday finalized a $700,000 settlement between McDonald’s Corp. and members of Michigan’s Muslim community over claims a suburban Detroit restaurant falsely advertised its food as prepared according to Islamic law.

Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represents plaintiffs in the classaction suit, claims he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at the restaurant but found it wasn’t halal. Islam forbids consumption of pork, and God’s name must be invoked before an animal providing meat for consumption is slaughtered.

The McDonald’s restaurant chain and one of its franchise owners agreed in January to the tentative settlement that would be shared by Ahmed, as well as a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers.

The two sides met Wednesday for final approval before Wayne County Circuit Judge Kathleen Macdonald, who has overseen the case and refereed objections by outside groups since a preliminary deal was announced in January. The settlement was originally set to be finalized March 1, but Macdonald extended the public comment period after pressure from Dearborn lawyer Majed Moughni, who criticized the class-action settlement on Facebook and was temporarily barred from communicating publicly about the case.

Ahmed’s portion of the settlement is considered an “incentive award” and represents his work on the case, his attorneys say.

“As a firm, we’ve borne the burden of litigating this case for over 19 months, and have paid a steep price in time and money to do so,” Kassem Dakhlallah, an attorney whose firm represents Ahmed and the class, told The Associated Press in an email. “We are happy that we are able to finalize this case and get the settlement funds paid to the Huda Clinic to be used for medical care for the community, and to the Arab American National Museum to be used to allow our young ones to continue their educations after high school.”

The lawsuit technically covered anyone who bought the halal-advertised products between September 2005 and January from the restaurant and another McDonald’s in the city with a different owner.

The other location wasn’t a defendant or a focus of the investigation.

Dakhlallah has said he was approached by Ahmed, and they conducted an investigation. A letter sent to McDonald’s and the restaurant franchisee, Finley’s Management,

by Dakhlallah’s firm said Ahmed had “confirmed from a source familiar with the inventory” that the restaurant had sold non-halal food “on many occasions.”

In the settlement notice, Finley’s Management said it “has a carefully designed system for preparing and serving halal such that halal chicken products are labeled, stored, refrigerated, and cooked in halal-only areas.” The company added it trains its employees on preparing halal food and “requires strict adherence to the process.”

under a two-year contract. Staples says it will start selling the AT&T model on April 26.

Sprint Nextel Corp. starts taking advance orders Thursday and says in-store sales start April 27. It charges $250 for the base model, or $150 if the buyer is coming over from another carrier.

T-Mobile USA starts taking advance orders next Wednesday, and in-store sales start May 1. It’s charging $150 up

front and $20 per month for two years under its new installment plans. Those plans replace two-year service contracts that most carriers require. T-Mobile has abandoned them in favor of cheaper month-to-month plans.

Verizon Wireless has said it will sell the phone, but hasn’t announced a release date or price. Smaller carriers U.S. Cellular, Leap Wireless’ Cricket and C Spire will also sell the phone.

Banks rethink the branch Rebuilding neighborhood facilities into hip, airy spaces

By CHRISTINA REXRODE AP Business Writer NEW YORK – In an age when checks can be deposited by smartphone and almost everyone retrieves cash from ATMs, the corner bank can seem a relic, with its paper deposit slips, marble countertops and human tellers behind glass partitions.

But some banking executives say the brick-and-mortar branch is still the best way to serve existing customers and snag new ones. They’re trying to rebuild the nation’s neighborhood banks into hip, airy spaces where customers sign up for loans without touching a piece of paper, sign in to ATMs with a tap of their smartphones and talk to off-site tellers by video.

Flashiness is only part of the reason for the makeovers. Mounting costs from legal fees and new regulations – vestiges of the financial crisis – have given the banks good reason to become more efficient. The new branches will help them replace expensive human workers with cheaper machines, a development that could eventually make the bank teller an endangered species.

Most redesigns aim to let customers complete simple transactions, such as deposits, for themselves.

That frees bank employees for tasks that make money, such as persuading someone who wanders in to put money into a mutual fund or refinance a mortgage.

“Banks have been talking about ‘branch of the future’ for more than a decade,” says Bob Meara, a senior banking analyst at research and consulting firm Celent. “And almost nobody has been doing anything until the past couple years.”

Banks large and small are on board. In a Celent survey in June, 55 percent of banks said they were planning “significant changes” to their branches, up from 24 percent two years earlier.

At an investor conference in February, JPMorgan Chase executives touted their new branches as places where ATMs distribute exact change, machines count cash so tellers don’t have to and open floor plans evoke the atmosphere of an Apple store or boutique hotel, features that other banks are also embracing.

Still, there are perils in overhauling an institution as familiar as the bank branch. It can be expensive.

And if changes are too extreme, customers get annoyed.

“To be honest,” says Mike Weinbach, JPMorgan’s head of national sales for consumer banking, “we

This combination of Associated Press file photos show bank cashiers working in a London branch of the Midland Bank on July 23, 1940 (left) and a JPMorgan Chase lobby in New York in March 2013. In an age when checks can be deposited by smartphone and almost everyone retrieves cash from ATMs, the corner bank can seem a relic, with its paper deposit slips, marble countertops and human tellers behind glass partitions. don’t know if we have it right.”

“I don’t think anyone knows exactly what the future of banking’s going to look like,” he added. He declined to say how much JPMorgan is spending on its new branches.

So far only one JPMorgan branch, in San Francisco’s Chinatown, has received all the new features. The company plans to put the redesigns mostly in new sites, rather than retrofit existing branches. The goal is to help ease customers into the change.

Still, about 200 branches, out of more than 5,600 in total, have some elements of the “branch of the future.”

This is not the first time the bank branch has undergone a transformation. Through most of the 20th century, banks built giant branches with features both lush and imposing: thick doors, chandeliers, lion statues, arched doorways.

They had to be big because they stored every loan agreement on paper and often housed executive offices as well. They had to seem impregnable to convey that they were safe from robbers. And they had to be decorous to suggest the bank was strong financially. “’Like a Victorian parlor on the inside,” says Steven Reider, president of Bancography, which advises banks and credit unions on their branches, “and a Grecian temple on

the outside.”

It wasn’t until the 1970s, when banks started offering ATMs and storing records electronically, Reider says, that branches became smaller and savvier.

The death of the bank branch has been predicted for years as banking habits have changed. Customers are visiting branches less often. The average number of teller transactions has fallen to 15.6 in 2011 from 19.1 per hour in 2005, according to research cited by Celent.

For banks, it’s cheaper to serve customers online or through an ATM than in a branch. A service request, such as accepting a deposit, costs a bank about $7.50 when it’s done in a branch, 85 cents at an ATM and 10 cents online, estimates Tiffani Montez, an analyst at the research firm Forrester.

JPMorgan, U.K.-based Barclays, Germany-based Commerzbank and others have told investors that new technology in their branches will help them trim jobs. The redesigned branches also tend to be smaller, another factor in cost-cutting.

The total number of branches for U.S. banks and savings institutions has fallen the past three years, returning almost to where it was before the financial crisis, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

In the 15 years from 1995 through 2009, the number of branches declined in only one year, 1995.

Among the nation’s biggest retail banks, only JPMorgan has more branches than it did at the end of 2008. Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have all shrunk their networks.

PNC Financial Services Group, SunTrust Banks and KeyCorp are among the large regional banks that have been shuttering branches as well.

Speaking to investors in March, PNC president Bill Demchak laid out the tightrope that banks must walk in marketing themselves through their branches and electronically.

“My mother goes into the branch and she is a great customer. She wants to go in the branch three times a week, and God bless her, we will let her do it,” he said. “My son will never go in a branch, right? He’s got every mobile app there is and he’s horrified by going into a branch. We need both of those customers, and we need to figure out how we market to both of those customers without alienating either one.”

In an interview with The Associated Press in December, Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf acknowledged customers’ changing habits but said that branches are too psychological-

ly important to die.

“If they have a problem they can’t solve, they’ll go there,” he said. “If Uncle Leo dies and leaves them 2 million bucks, they’re going to take it there. They’re not going to send it to the ethernet somewhere.”

The new branches tend to have a few features in common, most meant to cut labor costs: “Instant issue” machines that manufacture debit cards right away so customers don’t have to wait for them to come in the mail, free Wi-Fi, and ATMs that offer extra functions, including the ability to withdraw coins and $5 and $1 bills.

Wells Fargo is adding an ATM feature that lets customers track their average monthly withdrawals and tells them how close they are to limits they set for themselves. At new JPMorgan branches, customers will eventually be able to log into ATMs with a tap of their phone, no debit card needed.

In South Korea, Standard Chartered is expanding “smart banking” branches that employ a staff of three, compared with an average of about eight in traditional branches.

Banks in Europe are trying similar strategies under monikers like “self branch” and “express banking.”

Recently, Bank of America announced that it will start to overhaul its ATMs with a “human touch.” The most notable change in the new machines is that they’ll be equipped with video screens connected to off-site tellers, which will let customers talk to tellers even at times when the branch is closed. The video screens will look blurry unless they’re viewed straight on and headsets will be provided, which the bank said should help allay any concerns about privacy.

Bank of America has cut its branches to fewer than 5,500, from more than 6,100 four years ago.

Customers still come in to discuss loans or open savings accounts, says Katy Knox, who is in charge of retail banking and distribution at Bank of America. But they don’t need the branch as much as they used to for simple transactions.

“We’re evolving our banking centers around their preferences,” she says.

But for all the talk about the “next generation” in bank technology, analysts question just how futuristic the new branches really are.

“I understand that there is a very real need to respond to cost concerns and to embrace technology,” says Bancography’s Reider. “But I don’t think there’s going to be a whole lot of customers who come in and say, ‘Wow, an iPad.’”

Bank of America to settle mortgage investors’ class-action suit The Associated Press NEW YORK – Bank of America has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by investors who bought mortgage investments from Countrywide Financial, the Californiabased lender it acquired in 2008. The announcement came as the nation’s second biggest bank reported higher net income for the first quarter, but missed analysts’ expectations.

Bank of America said Wednesday that it would pay $500 million

to settle the lawsuit brought by the Maine State Retirement System and other pension funds who said Countrywide had misled them about the quality of the mortgages they bundled together and sold to investors before the crisis.

The settlement is the latest reminder of the long fallout of Bank of America’s decision to buy Countrywide, which was known for making exotic loans. The purchase catapulted the bank into a spot at the top of the nation’s mortgage scene, but it’s

been an albatross ever since, bringing lawsuits, regulatory investigations and quarterly losses.

Bank of America made the settlement announcement while reporting first-quarter results. Its profit soared but analysts described the quarter as noisy because of accounting charges that affected results. Revenue dipped slightly, and profits missed expectations.

The Charlotte, N.C., bank reported earnings after paying preferred dividends of $2.3 billion in the first quar-

ter. That was up nearly seven times from earnings of $328 million a year ago. However, the 2012 results were also obscured by an accounting rule that forced the bank to record a charge because the value of its debt had risen.

Mortgages and wealth management helped this quarter’s results.

Loans fell while deposits and credit card spending rose.

The bank funded $25 billion in mortgages, a jump of 56 percent from a year ago. More than 90 percent came from refinancings. The overall mort-

IMF urges Fed, central banks to monitor stimulus The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The International Monetary Fund is urging the Federal Reserve and other central banks to closely monitor their extraordinary efforts to jump-start economic growth, warning that the policies could inflate asset bubbles and destabilize financial markets.

The global lending organization said in a global stability report released Wednesday that the low interest rate policies, which are intended to spur borrowing, spending and investing, are providing “essential support” for economic growth and should continue.

But it noted that the policies could have “adverse side effects,” including excessive corporate debt, a stock market bubble and risky investments by pension funds.

The fund says there are few signs of asset price bubbles yet.

The global stability report was released in advance of spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington this week.

The IMF’s warning echoes recent debates among Federal Reserve policymakers, who have pursued aggressive

France bows to reality The French government has finally bowed to reality, lowering its official economic growth projections and acknowledging that its deficit won’t fall as quickly as promised. But its outlook is still rosier than other independent forecasts.

In a report Wednesday, the government said growth will be just 0.1 percent this year and 1.2 percent next – a big drop from 0.8 percent and 2 percent previously. The new estimates are in line with what the European Commission has said for months. measures intended to help lower stillhigh unemployment.

The Fed has said it plans to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. And it is purchasing $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds to lower long-term rates and encouraging more borrowing.

The effect on interest rates has also encouraged investors to shift money into stocks and other riskier holdings, and away from bonds. By driving up stock prices, the Fed hopes the lower

rates will create a “wealth effect” and encourage more consumer spending and economic growth.

In the months after the Fed launched the bond-buying program last fall, stocks have surged. The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 index both reached record highs this month.

At a meeting of the Fed’s policymaking committee last month, some officials argued that the Fed’s programs could lead to another stock market bubble or encourage investors to take on too much debt.

Janet Yellen, the Fed’s vice chair, downplayed those risks in remarks Tuesday at a conference sponsored by the IMF. “I don’t see pervasive evidence of rapid credit growth, a marked buildup in leverage, or significant asset bubbles that would threaten financial stability,” she said. “But there are signs that some parties are reaching for yield, and the Federal Reserve continues to carefully monitor this situation.”

The Fed is working with other regulators to enhance its oversight of financial markets, she said.

gage unit continued to lose money, though, weighed down by legal costs.

The bank continued to cut jobs and other expenses. It trimmed nearly 16,000 jobs over the year, or nearly 6 percent of its work force.

“We feel like we made a lot of progress this quarter,” Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson said on a call with reporters, “and there’s a lot more to do.”

Earnings per share amounted to 20 cents. That missed the expectations of analysts polled by FactSet.

Metro home sales, median prices show gains in March NORTHWEST HERALD March home sales paint a picture of steady progress in the housing segment of the seven-county metropolitan Chicago real estate market, according to an analysis by Re/ Max. The number of homes changing hands increased 18 percent, and the median price of a home sold last month climbed 1 percent when compared to March 2012.

In its analysis of home sales reported by Midwest Real Estate Data LLC, the regional multiple listing service, Re/Max found that as of April 9, home sales reported for the month of March totaled 7,793 units, up from 6,591 a year ago. The median sales price advanced to $155,000, up from $153,800 a year earlier.

The Re/Max analysis also found that a shrinking inventory of homes for sale continues to be a major factor in boosting the housing market.

The Chicago-area home inventory at the end of March was 50 percent lower than it had been 12 months earlier. The relative scarcity of homes seemed to help buyers speed up their decision making process, as the average market time for a home sold in March fell from 178 days a year ago to 136 days this year.

That is the lowest figure for March since 2007 when the average was 135 days. Average market time is the average number of days a home sold during the month spent on the market before a sales contract was signed.

Sales activity rose in six of the seven counties during March when compared to activity levels of March 2012.

The improvement was led by a robust increase of 50 percent in Kendall County and gains of 28 percent in McHenry County and 25 percent in Lake County. Cook and DuPage counties, with gains

of 21 and 17 percent, respectively, also had strong results, while in Chicago, sales increased 15 percent. Cook County, which includes Chicago, accounted for 58 percent of all sales in the metro area during March.

Sales activity rose 5 percent in Kane County and fell 5 percent in Will County.

The median home sales price climbed in four of the seven counties and Chicago, as Kendall County again led the way, posting a 22 percent price increase, a turnaround from the prior month when Kendall was the only metro county to post a year-overyear decline in median price.

Another significant gain in median price came in Will County, where the increase was 13 percent. A 9 percent gain in the median home price in Chicago contrasted with an increase of less than 1 percent in Cook County as a whole, underscoring the relative strength of the city market.

Elsewhere, the median price rose 6 percent in Kane County but dipped 2 percent in McHenry County, 1 percent in Lake County and 4 percent in DuPage County.

Sales of distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) accounted for 43 percent of all March home sales, down from 49 percent in February and 46 percent in March of last year.

Detached homes Sales of detached homes climbed 17 percent in March to 4,881 units, compared to 4,179 homes sold in March of last year. The median sales price rose 4 percent to $175,000, its highest level in the last six months. Average market time continued to shorten, coming in at 135 days compared to 174 days a year earlier.

Both sales activity and the median sales price rose in six

of the seven metro counties, as well as in Chicago. Unit sales jumped 85 percent in Kendall County, where 131 homes changed hands. Elsewhere, March sales rose 22 percent in Lake County, 21 percent in McHenry County, 20 percent in Cook County, 13 percent in DuPage County and 6 percent in Kane County, but fell 5 percent in Will County. Sales in Chicago rose 14 percent.

The only county without an increase in median price was Cook, where the median remained unchanged from March 2012 at $150,100. Otherwise, the results were as follows: Will up 13 percent to $192,000, Kendall up 12 percent to $194,500, Lake up 7 percent to $195,000, DuPage up 3 percent to $251,100, McHenry up 2 percent to $160,000 and Kane up 1 percent to $166,500.

In Chicago, the median price of a detached home climbed 7 percent to $135,900.

Attached homes Results in the attachedhome segment of the metro Chicago real estate market were more uneven in March.

Sales volume registered a strong gain, with 2,912 units changing hands, an increase of 21 percent from March of last year. The pace of sales also rose, with the average market time falling to 140 days from 185 days last year.

The median price climbed 0.1 percent to $125,000.

Sales volume for attached homes climbed in six of the seven metro counties, with McHenry and Lake counties leading the way. Sales rose 65 percent in McHenry and 34 percent in Lake, as well as 24 percent in DuPage and 22 percent in Cook. Sales also rose 6 percent in Kendall and 2 percent in Kane, while in Chicago, attached sales climbed 16 percent. The only decrease in sales activity was a 5 percent dip in Will County.

Resale stores take a green approach to fashion NORTHWEST HERALD Earth Day on Monday focuses attention on the fact that recycling simply makes sense environmentally.

Americans threw away more than 13.1 million tons of textiles in 2010, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – including items that could have been donated to charities or recycled into wiping and polishing cloths, paper, car insulation and even building materials.

At Plato’s Closet stores – including 1481 S. Randall Road, Algonquin – clothing recycling also makes sense financially. Renae Gaudette, director of Plato’s Closet, says that the resale stores’ franchise owners put the principles of Earth Day to work every day by buying gentlyused, current style clothing

and accessories and re-selling it to teen and twenty-something guys and girls who are looking for style, quality and today’s fashion trends at up to 70 percent off original retail prices.

“We thought that Earth Day was a perfect time to remind fashion lovers that they can live green, look great and have fun too,” said Gaudette.

“At Plato’s Closet, teens and twenty-somethings can bring in clothes they no longer wear to sell, and then walk out with hot fashions that look expensive but totally fit their budget. It’s a win/win approach for their wallets and the environment, too.”

The earth-friendly numbers posted by Plato’s Closet stores nationwide in 2012 demonstrate that the brand’s approach is resonating with young fashion trend setters.

Altogether, Plato’s Closet

stores bought nearly 50.4 million items from customers last year, making those items available to new shoppers and putting about $160 million back into the pockets of the sellers.

“We’re proud of those numbers and we think they give a whole new meaning to the idea of living green,” Gaudette said. “At Plato’s Closet, you can support a green lifestyle and end up with more green in your wallet, too.”

There are more than 350 franchised stores in the U.S. and Canada, focusing on the latest styles and hottest brands all in great condition.

Plato’s Closet is franchised

by Winmark Corp., which also franchises Play It Again Sports, Once Upon a Child, and Music Go Round.

Andare provides senior citizens with one more choice Jerry Kuyper HUNTLEY - This city may not be the Mecca of the Midwest for retirement communities, but it is close.

More than several decades ago, Sun City opened sales with housing for senior citizens. The retirement community was planned for 6,000 housing units, the largest of its kind in the Midwest. Today, the Del Webb enterprise near Interstate 90 and bordering Route 47 is sold out.

In a less ambitious way,

Ryland Homes has come to the rescue for senior citizens 55 years of age and older. The development company has opened the Andare neighborhood in the larger community of Talamore. Ryland has room for 78 ranch-style houses at Andare.

Square footage ranges from 1,224 to 1,880 and prices range from $155,990 to $210,990. There are six floor plans from which to choose. All six of the plans have two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage.

The six ranches are the $155,990 Bennett with 1,224 square feet of living space, the $165,990, 1,342-square-foot Florence, the $175,990, 1,428-square-

foot Napa, the $190,990, 1,649-square-foot Rutherford, the $200,900, 1,742-squarefoot Siena and the $210,990, 1,880-square-foot Sonoma.

Basements are options on each floor plan and two of the plans have optional second floor lofts or bedrooms and bathrooms, according to Ryland vice president of marketing Rebecca Kohl.

“Our maintenance free ranches include two to three bedrooms, 9-foot ceilings, kitchens with islands and pantries, walk-in closets in the master bedrooms and two-car garages,” Koehl emphasized.

• BUILDER Continued from page F1 “All of our floor plans offer upgrades to customize and personalize the home. These upgrades include fireplaces, luxury garden master baths, sunrooms, basements, patios, bay windows, vaulted kitchen ceilings, tray ceilings in the master bedrooms and much more,” she added.

An available upgrade for the twocar garage is a four-foot extension to provide more storage room.

Andare’s target market is adults 55 years of age and older, but with an atypical approach.

“At Andare, Ryland takes a fresh approach to active adult living.

Specifically, we wanted to get away from a neighborhood totally devoid of children,” said John Carroll, division president of Ryland Homes Chicago.

Andare residents will share amenities with other owners in the master-planned 800-acre Talamore subdivision. These surrounding owners, or at least some of them, have children. Amenities include access to an 8,000 square foot clubhouse and swimming pool of Olympic proportions featuring an 18-foot water slide, kid’s pool, and spray and play area. The clubhouse can be rented for parties. “The onsite lifestyle coordinator works with residents to set up clubs and allow the clubhouse to be used for meetings,” Koehl said.

Andare’s residents, along with other owners at Talamore, also have access to a stocked fishing pond, and an outdoor pavilion with fireplace and picnic tables.

Although there will be no children living at Andare, visiting grandchildren will be allowed to use the pool and other Talamore amenities. Carroll said prospective buyers like the idea of children near Andare. “We are getting lots of positive feedback on this. They like the idea that the community is not entirely devoid of children,” he said.

Tennis courts and a fitness center are on Ryland’s 2013 construction agenda.

Ryland has been at Talamore since it opened in 2006, but the idea of Andare is new. “We took an area of Talamore that had been planned as townhouses and converted it to an active-adult-single-family home community,” Carroll said. “Andaré offers a fresh new approach to active living, combining all the benefits of an active adult community with a family friendly atmosphere. This community is designed for someone looking for a truly maintenance-free ranch product.

“By adding a new segment to Talamore, we could keep the active-adult buyers in their own neighborhood where they don’t need to worry about a big wheel left behind their car when they leave in the morning. Yet they can still participate in the larger Talamore community,” Carroll added.

“We also have some flexibility with rules that historically may have been a little too restrictive in other active adult communities. We find that people want a less restrictive neighborhood where they can take their grandchildren to the pool without constraints,” he said.

As of April 1, there were eight sales at Andare. The buyers were from the northwest suburbs. “We expect to sell at a pace of 25 to 30 homes a year,” Carroll said. At that pace, Andare will be sold out before the end of 2015.

Carroll noted why he is optimistic about the sales pace. “The active-adult market will continue to remain strong in the Chicago area for years to come ...This age group tends to have the most significant equity in their homes and the most flexibility in their selling price . .. Most of them are able to sell an existing house and want to downsize into a ranch.”

An open layout of ranch plans at Andare have the kitchen and breakfast area blend into the living room.

Another factor is at work, too.

“Today’s home buyer is looking for quality construction, lower maintenance costs, better floor plans and energy savings. These desires bring them to new construction,” Koehl said.

“We have several homes currently under construction. They include homes that have already been purchased and homes that will be available for purchase,” Carroll said.

Both the Siena and Napa models have been built and are on display.

Sales are being conducted out of the Napa model. For information, call sales agent Jayne Decker, (847) 669-6169 or visit [ mailto:jdecker@ ryland.com ]jdecker@ryland.com.

Andare’s address is 11912 Hollister Court, Huntley, IL 60142.

Andare is one of five communities that have been reopened or started anew in the areas north and west of Chicago within the past year.

Ashton Pointe in Crystal Lake reopened this year as did Cedar Grove in Elgin. Besides Andare in January, another new community, Ingham Park in Aurora, opened last fall. Sales also have begun at the

Fields of Shorewood. In the spring of 2012, Lakewood Crossing opened in Hampshire.

Ashton Pointe, Ingham Park and the Fields of Shorewood were begun by other builders, who suffered financial reverses with the 2008 collapse of the economy.

Ryland rode to Ashton Pointe’s rescue with plans to complete the community of move-up buyers.

“It gives me a good feeling to help revive a neighborhood that has been sitting idle,” Carroll said of the Ashton Pointe project. He noted it helped add value to homes of current residents and benefited the municipality with an increased tax base as well as activity for city officials such as building inspectors. Plus it offers employment for workers in the construction trades.

Ashton Pointe is next to the Metra Station which adds to its allure for commuters. House plan have 2,405 to 3,800 square feet of living space and are priced from $245,990 to $335,990.

For information, call (815) 4440809 or visit Kristen.kelly@ryland. com. Kelly is the sales agent.

Carroll commented on Ryland’s

effort to pick up communities abandoned by former developers.

“There were many more builders in the Chicago market five or six years ago than there are today and many of them had started subdivisions they were unable to complete. The remaining builders are slowly working through these communities, buying them, restarting them and completing them but that will take time,” Carroll said.

With 17 communities in the Chicago area, Ryland Homes is one of the largest subdivision developers.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Alija Izetbegovic, the irst president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said, “We play an active role and try to inluence our destiny; we have our own trump cards and we use them.”

So far this week, we have been looking at defenses in no-trump contracts aided by placing declarer’s high-card points based on the bidding and play. Suitably assisted, one defender has known which suit to attack to gain suficient tricks to defeat the contract. Now let’s move to trump contracts.

South is in four spades.

West leads the heart ace.

How should East plan the defense?

The auction given is using Standard. If you have adopted two-over-one game-forcing, North would rebid three spades because the opener’s hand strength is undeined. Then South would bid four spades to indicate a minimum.

East does not want his partner to shift, so should signal with his heart nine at trick one. West cashes the heart king and plays his third heart. After East wins with his queen, what does he do next?

East should count the points. South showed 12 to 14, the dummy has 13, West has already produced seven, and East has seven.

Since all four jacks are on view, West cannot have another honor card. The only chance for a fourth trick lies in the trump suit.

East must lead his last heart. Here, when West ruffs with the spade nine, it uppercuts dummy’s queen and promotes a spade trick for East.

When you have taken every possible side-suit trick, give a ruff-and-sluff.

It might result in a trump promotion or an uppercut.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - You are likely to be a participant in some rather extraordinary developments in the coming months, most of which you will find to be intriguing.

Many new doors will be opened for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When in a discussion with another, you might suddenly have an ingenious flash of inspiration. If this happens, do not treat it lightly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone whom you’d like to know better is also eager to learn more about you. You just might get an opportunity to develop things further.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although unexpected success is likely to come through an unusual chain of events, this doesn’t mean that you should leave important things to chance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’re in an interesting cycle where friendships are concerned, and some intriguing people could soon enter your life. Be sure to be open-minded and receptive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A well-intentioned, dependable friend could have an interesting proposition. It could produce copious benefits for both of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A colleague is as eager as you are to firm up a partnership arrangement.

However, both parties need assurance that it’ll be fair and equitable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- This is one of those unusual days when some peripheral benefits could be more impressive than you’d hoped, and even better than your initial investment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Spontaneous events will likely turn out to be the most fun. Be sure your schedule isn’t overly structured so that you can go along with the flow of things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Improvements in your material circumstances should begin soon. If you’ve been involved in something unprofitable, you might be able to improve the outlook.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Good news could be delivered via a strange pipeline. It could pertain to something either social or romantic, and will be quite interesting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your financial trends may be going back and forth. Because it’s likely to be one of your more favorable days, make it meaningful.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The power of your personality is much higher than you may realize. You’re making a good impression on others, and this will be reflected in your popularity.

FAVES Five things the Planit Pl@y staff is excited about this week More at PlanitNorthwest.com

‘The Cultcast’

“The best 30-minute Apple conversation you’ll hear all week.”

With those words, members of Cult of Mac’s “The Cultcast” kick off an informative and often hilarious weekly podcast about all things Apple. Available every Thursday, host Erfon Elijah chews the Apple fat with a revolving supporting cast of characters including Buster Heine, Leander Kahney and Alex Heath.

They offer a taste of Apple news, apps, iOS tips and tricks and more in an informative, laid-back format. Plus, don’t miss the crew’s faves and raves segment. Come on Apple fans, take a bite. Available on iTunes and at cultofmac.com. – R. Scott Helmchen

THEATER

‘The Fox on the Fairway’

“The Fox On The Fairway” (through April 28 at the Woodstock Opera House) is over the top in all of the best ways. The play is full of hilarious misunderstandings, innuendo and running. Seriously, for a play about golf, there’s an awful lot of running. The premise starts simple enough: Golf club president Henry Bingham (Jeff Cook) makes a large wager with a competing club’s president (Kyle McCoy) before their annual grudge match. But after Bingham’s star player switches teams, he finds a secret weapon in his simple assistant Justin (Jim Pierce), whose volatile fiancée Louise (Amoreena Karmis) could be the key to keeping his head in the game. Before long, entanglements and confusion have the characters running in circles to save their love lives without blowing the game. Pamela Peabody (Karen Jorgensen) and Murial Bingham (Odette Little) serve as romantic foils to round out the cast, which never falters in the fast-paced script by Ken Ludwig.

Jokes about bad golf clothes, bad marriages and balls abound, but the real hilarity comes from the cast’s commitment to the farce as they throw themselves headlong into each scheme and blunder. Tickets: $23 adults, $20 seniors and students, at 815-338-5300 or www. woodstockoperahouse.com. – Valerie Katzenstein

BOOK

‘The Right Stuff’

I just finished enjoying the Tom Wolfe book, “The Right Stuff,” which chronicles the story of the first astronauts chosen for Project Mercury. Besides having a history degree and being a lifelong space nut, my interest in the topic is summed up by Wolfe in the very first sentence of his book: “What is it, I wondered, that makes a man willing to sit up on top of an enormous Roman candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan, or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse?” By the way, if you watched the movie but didn’t read the book, Gus Grissom did not in fact panic and blow the hatch on Liberty Bell 7. – Kevin Craver

3

TELEVISION

‘The Voice’

The battle rounds are back on “The Voice,” and I couldn’t be more hooked on this NBC reality singing show. Now in its fourth season, the show has undergone a few changes, most noticeably the departure of coaches CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera, who have been replaced by Usher and Shakira.

The coaches’ chemistry, which always has been good, hasn’t missed a beat. Each coach starts by choosing a “team” of 12 artists. In the battle rounds, they are pitted against one another.

Each coach also gets two “steals” to pick up artists who are not chosen by other coaches. All in all, the contestants are good, the coaches are less snarky than on “American Idol,” and the show is worth turning one’s chair for. Airs 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC. – Joan Oliver

5

EVENT

Record Store Day

Record Store Day is Saturday and it’s one of my favorite days to get out of the house and buy some new music. Yes, people actually still buy music without looking at a computer or phone screen. Record Store Day, initiated in 2007, is typically the third Saturday in April each year. The day is meant to get people out to independent record stores by offering limited edition vinyl releases and hard-to-find exclusives that are just featured that day. Last year, I was able to get a limited edition of The Black Keys’ “El Camino” that included the release on vinyl and CD along with a poster, all in special packaging for Record Store Day. Among the noteable acts with exclusives this year are Bob Dylan, Aerosmith, The Cure and Dave Matthews Band. A full list of Record Store Day releases and participating stores is available at recordstoreday.com. – Rob

“I just love it,” she said. “I’m an outgoing person. I have a lot of energy. I’m a very good multi-tasker, and you’ve gotta be a little silly sometimes. You’ve got to be able to talk to everyone, to make them feel comfortable, make them come back. . .

“It’s the only thing I’ve ever done. It’s what I do.”

Let’s meet O’Neill. – Jami Kunzer

THE WORST THING I’VE EVER SEEN SOMEONE DO IN A BAR IS ... My gosh, I don’t know, fall or a couple ighting, if they’re like the only two at the bar and I have to try to avoid them. I see it all.

THE STRANGEST THING I’VE EVER BEEN ASKED IS ... I’ve been asked out a lot. I don’t date customers. It’s just my policy.

I’m pretty much an open book. I’ve been here 11 years. The customers know everything about me.

THE BEST CURE FOR A HANGOVER IS ... water and exercise.

YOU CAN GET ON MY GOOD SIDE ... by being friendly and not being too much in a hurry or demanding.

WHEN I’M NOT WORKING ... I spend a lot of time with my son.

I’m a homebody. On the weekends, I like to ride my bike, go to movies, see live bands.

THE WORST PICKUP LINE I’VE HEARD BEHIND THE BAR IS ...

‘Come here often?’

WITH

MEANING Peter, Paul and Mary member Peter Yarrow hopes to inspire kindness

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

A

s he carries on the legacy of Peter, Paul and Mary, Peter Yarrow hopes to unite new generations of fans.

The meaning behind the folk music of the trio, including the hits “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)” and “Blown’ in the Wind,” remains as relevant today as it did during the group’s rise to stardom in the 1960s, Yarrow said.

Yarrow performs at 8 p.m. April 20 at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.

He described his performance as a night of music and camaraderie for both young and old.

“The music I’m singing is as positive a force as it was in the Civil Rights movement,” Yarrow said. “This is not just looking back at history and saying, ‘What an interesting time that was.’

“Of course, there’s a nostalgia there for those who lived through it, but generally, it’s not a forum that has residence solely in terms of your mother’s generation or your grandmother’s generation. Right now, if kids can sing together they can feel a sense of community. That helps to establish barriers against alienation that are so important for kids.”

Along with performing as a solo act after the death of Mary Travers, “Mary” of the group, in 2009, Yarrow released a million-selling illustrated children’s book and CD of “Puff, The Magic Dragon.”

In 2000, Yarrow helped start Operation Respect (www.operationrespect.org), a nonprofit group that works to combat school violence and bring civility into school curriculums.

He sees his music, both his solo creations and the music he performed with the trio, as a further promotion of the need for more kindness in society.

“My concert is not simply a matter of remembering the past, but asserting the value system inherent in this music in terms of where we go from here and the future,” he said. “That’s very important work to me.”

Peter, Paul and Mary became one of the best-

Paul and Mary. Tickets start at $32. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or www.rauecenter.org. known groups behind the American folk music revival in the 1960s, with the trio often involved in social activism. The group performed “If I Had a Hammer” at the 1963

March on Washington, best remembered for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which marks its 50th anniversary this month.

Other hits included “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” “Lemon Tree” and “Leaving on a Jet Plane.”

Paul Stookey, “Paul” of the group, still works as a solo singer and activist.

Their music as a trio, Yarrow said, was a music of affirmation, not protest.

“If you listen to the songs, you’ll hear that it’s not about tearing things down as much as it is about hammering out danger, hammering out a warning and how do we address that,” he said.

“Music used to be about inspiration. It was a call to action and it was a call to conscienceness. “ The music is needed more now than ever, he said, as society has become so “me-focused and competitive.”

Media, such as reality television featuring disfunction and cruelty, has created an atmosphere in which children see these characteristics as acceptable, Yarrow said.

Through Operation Respect and his music, he hopes to fight what he calls the “black hole of empathy” and inspire kindness.

“Life is as exciting and demanding and challenging now as it ever was and even moreso,” he said. “It’s really a remarkable reality that this music doesn’t and hasn’t gone out of style in a sense.

“It wasn’t a music of style to begin with. The legacy of it was that it wasn’t music created to entertain, as much as to speak the language of people’s hearts, and that’s what it does. And it does it beautifully and brilliantly.”

Famed ’60s folk group Peter Paul & Mary consisted of (from left) Peter Yarrow, Mary Travers and Paul Stookey.

‘Oblivion’: Sheer movie spectacle “Oblivion”

HHH

STARRING: Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman

PLOT: A maintenance worker (Cruise) left be-

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF Although it has been shortened and transposed over time, a quote attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson goes, “To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.”

I think of Stevenson’s words during movies such as Tom Cruise’s “Oblivion,” movies MORE where the journey to the ONLINE ending is so much more Watch Jeff’s satisfying than the endvideo review of ing itself.

“Oblivion” at The overall setup is fa- PlanitNorthmiliar to post-apocalyptic west.com science fiction. The hero has a straightforward job. He lives by his mission and understands his world. Movie viewers suspect early on that life as the hero knows it is a deception. Viewers hope as the answers are revealed, they will be as surprised by the truth as the hero. In at least one instance, “Oblivion” succeeds.

The year is 2077. Sixty years earlier,

hind to repair robots on a post-Apocalyptic Earth sees a spacecraft drop from the sky. He discovers a life pod containing a woman (Kurylenko) who has been in suspended animation for 60 years, and he recognizes her from his dreams.

RATED: PG-13 for science-iction action violence, brief strong language and some sexuality and nudity RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 6 minutes the Earth was attacked by aliens. The world retaliated with nuclear weapons, which defeated the invaders but left behind a global wasteland. “We won the war, but lost the planet,” Cruise says in the opening, scene-setting narration.

Cruise’s character, Jack Harper, is one of the few workers remaining on the planet’s surface. The rest of the war’s survivors are orbiting above in a giant spaceship that looks like a sideways pyramid and is called the Tet, which I assume is short for “tetrahedron.”

Jack and his partner, Victoria (British actress Andrea Riseborough), oversee the automated, skyscrapersized crafts vacuuming up the massive amounts of ocean water necessary for survival on Titan, the Jupiter moon where humankind intends to establish its new home. Jack also maintains robotic battle drones that engage the

pockets of remaining alien resistance fighters called Scavs.

Jack identifies himself as Tech 49. It doesn’t occur to him to ask where are – or what happened to – the other 48 techs.

One day, Jack sees a spaceship with NASA markings fall to Earth. At the crash site, he recovers a life pod containing a woman (Olga Kurylenko) in suspended animation. The woman’s face astonishes him, for she is the woman who has been appearing in his dreams, dreams set in present-day (to us) New York City.

What could it all mean?

For the first hour or so, while that question lingers, “Oblivion” is an intriguing and eye-boggling science fiction tour de force. “Oblivion” was conceived and directed by Joseph Kosinski, whose only previous feature is “TRON: Legacy.” Whatever else you can say about Kosinski, he is a skilled builder of cinematic worlds. If sheer movie spectacle makes you drool, “Oblivion” is worth seeing in IMAX, which is how I experienced it.

Abetted by cinematographer Claudio Miranda and production designer Darren Gilford, Kosinski imagines a stunning vision of a desolate Earth offset by the stainless steel sheen and glasssmooth technology of Jack’s existence.

For a repair crew, Jack and Victoria live in conspicuous luxury, an artistically spare and architecturally improbable penthouse held above the clouds by a spindly tower.

OPENING FRIDAY

Continued from page 15 Jack flies about in a sleek aircraft that looks suspiciously like a B-wing fighter from “Return of the Jedi.”

Stationed on the Atlantic Seaboard, Jack buzzes past ruins common to post-apocalyptic sagas, a cratered Pentagon and an unidentified stadium where the final Super Bowl was played in 2017.

Jack’s duties often bring him to the remains of New York City, where the topography has been radically altered.

Only the upper floors of the Empire State Building protrude through the surface, while the ruins of the public library (a Scav base) are beneath a sinkhole and the Brooklyn Bridge is encased in icebergs.

The Statue of Liberty makes a fleeting appearance, as she often does in dystopian futures.

Lady Liberty isn’t the only familiar element. Just about every idea in “Oblivion” comes from another dystopian science fiction movie, from “THX 1138” to “Silent Running” to “Logan’s Run” to Cruise’s own “Minority Report,” and it ends with the mother of all “2001” references.

The clearest inspiration is the most uncomfortable.

Unknown to Victoria, Jack has discovered a forest refuge where he has filled a log cabin with mementos of pre-apocalyptic Earth and listens to music from the ’60s.

This definitely establishes Jack as a live-action version of Wall-E, with Kurylenko as his Eve, the female who descends from the stars and changes his (and the world’s) destiny.

Steal from “Logan’s Run” and audiences shrug. Steal from a cartoon and they giggle.

While Jack still lives in blissful ignorance and the script (credited to Karl Gajdusek and Michael DeBruyn and based on Kosinski’s self-published comic book) merely teases the secrets of Jack’s assignment, we can luxuriate in the opulence of Kosinski’s vision. Once the mysteries unravel, so does

“THE LORDS OF SALEM” STARRING: Sheri Moon Zombie, Bruce Davison, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Meg Foster PLOT: Heidi, a radio DJ, is sent a box containing a record -- a “gift from the Lords.” The sounds within the grooves trigger flashbacks of her town’s violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the Lords back to take revenge on Salem, Massachusetts?

the story.

If you’ve seen the commercials, you know Morgan Freeman co-stars, and you can probably guess the nature of his role. That ought to be a spoiler, but don’t worry, many others remain.

Nearly every science-fiction plot twist ever imagined is deployed in “Oblivion” with tactical precision. Most are predictable, but a few are not.

For every question the script answers, it raises several more questions

the filmmakers don’t want to answer, and the story’s plausibility (tenuous from the start) evaporates.

“Oblivion” is not as laughable as “Prometheus,” last year’s visually staggering “Alien” prequel where not a single aspect of the plot made a lick of sense. You can make a case for the logic of “Oblivion,” but it requires accepting several premises that are awfully implausible.

The ending is overlong and disappointing, but for

an impressive stretch of time “Oblivion” is a wonder to behold with crackerjack action sequences (the airborne equivalent of a “Bourne Identity” car chase) and Cruise is in his element as a feisty hero. “Oblivion” collapses, but while it holds together it is undeniably a marvel.

ALL DOLLED UP Sun City Theatre Company marks 10 years

By JAMI KUNZER

Cast members from “Guys & Dolls” include (from left) Myron Shellist, Dick Storer and Jim Rice.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

S

un City residents first put on a show 10 years ago for both themselves and others.

A crowd came to watch then, and more come to watch now.

“Apparently, they think we are good enough that they keep on coming,” said Myron Shellist, president of the Theatre Company of Sun City in Huntley.

“By the way,” he said, “we are good enough.”

As part of its 10th anniversary season, the Theatre Company will reprise one of its favorites, “Guys & Dolls,” with cast members taking on roles they know well.

The spring production take place April 18-21 at the Prairie Lodge at Drendell Hall in Sun City.

At least 12 of those involved with “Guys & Dolls” were part of the company’s first production of the musical in 2003. Among those returning are the leads, Sara Tustin as Sarah Brown and Bob Hernandez as Sky Masterson.

“We decided to do it again, basically because we’ve grown and our audience has grown,” Shellist said.

With more than 100 members, the theater company typically draws about 1,400 people to its shows.

And through ticket costs and other fundraising efforts, it has raised about $10,000 in scholarship funding for children who want to go to summer camps for the arts, as well as money for the Grafton Food Pantry, Shellist said.

The company and the shows it produces are a success simply because, “People love to watch, love to listen and we provide them with entertainment,” he said.

“GUYS & DOLLS” Most of those involved live in Sun City, unless a show calls for a child character. In that case, the grandchildren of Sun City residents are recruited, Shellist said.

As a charter club, anyone who wants to be a part of the company can be a part of it, he said, both on stage and off.

With its 10th anniversary season, the company will present its traditional two musicals, along with a comedy, “Sex Please We’re Sixty!”

The company only recently has started adding nonmusicals to its repertoire, Shellist said, and has seen success with them. He joined the group in 2006 playing in “Fiddler on the Roof.” He plays Nicely-Nicely Johnson in this weekend’s “Guys & Dolls.”

“I liked it so much, I just kept on go-

“I’ll say it this way. It’s a family,” he said. “There are disagreements absolutely. Any family has disagreements. When it all comes down to the end, everybody pulls together, and it works out just fine.”

500 miles strong The Proclaimers still are bringing Scottish sensibility to a worldwide audience

By ED SYMKUS GateHouse News Service

C

harlie Reid’s thick Scottish accent is sometimes a bit hard to understand. But when he and his identical twin brother, Craig, and their band The Proclaimers launch into their songs of love and anti-war sentiments, socioeconomic commentary and faith or lack of faith, there’s no question what they’re singing about.

And they’re proud to say they’ve been at it for a long while.

“We were teenagers when we first started thinking maybe we could do something with music,” Charlie Reid said by phone from their home base in Edinburgh. “I had a guitar and Craig had a beat-up old drum kit, and we just started playing in bands. We started experimenting with songwriting when we were about 16. We kind of took it from there, and we just developed that over many years.”

They turned 51 last year.

“We played in New Wave-type bands when we left high school – anything from Buzzcocks and Sex Pistols songs to early Rolling Stones songs,” he said.

“But by the time we started The Proclaimers, in 1983, we knew we wanted to do something really different, which was to strip it down to, as it was then, the two of us singing, and one acoustic guitar, which is how we’ll appear when we’re in the States on this new tour.”

Among their nine studio albums, their original material ranges from traditional Scottish sing-alongs to pop and folk and a bit of rock, all kind of mixed up together. Among them, a couple of songs stand out as numbers that everyone in their audiences know the words to: “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles” and “Letter From America.”

“I think we knew those songs were quite good when we recorded them,” said Reid. “Particularly ‘Letter from America.’ That was a big hit in the UK, and it was an unusual type of record. ‘500 Miles’ we thought was just going to be the first single track to go to radio from the album. But all these years later, the song’s grown bigger than the band’ll ever be, and we know that. It kind of took on a life of its own.”

It would be fair to say their newest album, “Like Comedy,” is similar to previous ones as far as its sound.

Upon first listen, no one who’s a Proclaimers fan would mistake it for anything other than a Proclaimers record. But as with every one they’ve released before it, there’s something new, whether it’s different subject matter or more complexity

in song structure.

“I think it’s been a goal for every record to be different,” said Reid. “Ideally it’s to be a little bit different on every song. I know that you can’t help that some of the songs sound similar over a 25-30-year career. And there are certainly themes that we keep coming back to. But it would be strange if we were writing the same kind of song. Your life changes, so I would hope the songwriting evolves along with those changes.”

He promised that anyone who comes to see them on tour will not hear the same set list they will have played at some other venue the night before or the night after.

• PROCLAIMERS Continued from page 20 “We try never to do the same show twice in a row,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of material now, over the nine albums. You don’t play every single song every night, but you do quite a lot of them. There are some songs that work better acoustically than with the band, but there are some that you really need the band to get them across. We will play a set number – maybe seven or eight – of songs every night of every show, and the rest we kind of rotate. And we’ll definitely play some stuff off the new record.”

The Proclaimers are hoping to jump into the limelight of a whole new area when their 1988 album “Sunshine on Leith,” which has already been adapted into a stage play, gets released, late this year or early next year, as a movie.

The album told the story, in song, of two soldiers returning from the war in Afghanistan.

“Stephen Greenhorn, one of the top guys at Dundee Repertory Theatre in Scotland, came to us with the original idea,” Reid said of the play.

“We were very skeptical. But our manager went to see some of the early rehearsals, and he said he thought it would work. Eventually, it hit the stage and the reviews were very good. The second production was bigger and more successful, the third production was even bigger and more successful. From our initial skepticism, cynicism to some degree, we’ve been proven to be absolutely wrong. And now we’re really enthusiastic about it.

“The filming is complete, and it’s now in editing,” he added. “The stage show was really successful in Scotland and the UK, and we hope that the movie will get over to more people. But how the movie will translate to U.S. audiences, I don’t know.”

ROB CARROLL WITH MUSIC’S NEW RELEASES

Major Lazer

“Free The Universe” HHH

FEATURED RELEASE Fall Out Boy

“Save Rock and Roll” HH Do modern music acts ever meet expectations when coming back from a hiatus?

No Doubt didn’t exactly turn in their best effort last year when they released “Push and Shove,” their first new work since 2001. Justin Timberlake returned after six years with an album that wasn’t exactly the Justin Timberlake music his fans knew and loved.

Add Fall Out Boy to that list.

On “Save Rock and Roll,” Fall Out Boy’s first full-length album of new material since 2008, the guys are more pop than punk. Their guitars remain on hiatus while the band pursues something more radio-friendly.

It doesn’t take long to figure out Fall Out Boy has switched things up on us. “Phoenix” starts things off sounding like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is playing background music for an NFL highlight reel.

Other songs deliver a larger shock to the system. “The Mighty Fall” opens with a guest rap verse from Big Sean and never really gets off the ground.

Then there are the other guest spots on this album. Courtney Love, yes that Courtney Love, shows up to sing/speak on “Rat A Tat.” It’s one of the better songs on the album, but Love has nothing to do with its success.

Elton John, yes that Elton John, is featured on the title track. This track works when he and FOB’s Patrick Stump sing together, but not so much when John’s voice is featured by itself.

While all of these string arrangements and guest appearances might sound unusual, “Save Rock and Roll” does serve as the next logical step in progressing FOB’s sound after their last release, “Folie a Deux.”

The roots were there in 2008. Go back and listen to that album and you catch some of the hand claps and keyboards that are used so much more predominantly on “Save Rock and Roll.”

Stump also has been given more of an opportunity to showcase his superb singing voice on these albums. His vocal range, along with some crafty lyrics, helps keep “Save Rock and Roll” from completely falling off the rails.

It’s difficult to meet expectations after a long layoff. Of course, naming your album “Save Rock and Roll” probably doesn’t help the process much, either.

Major Lazer, a collaboration between Philadelphia-based DJ/ producer Diplo and various other DJs, received critical acclaim for their Jamaican dancehall-infused electronic dance music when they debuted with 2009’s “Guns Don’t Kill People ... Lazers Do.” The album featured several artists from the island nation.

And while they might not have been recognizable names, they did help the album sound true to the dancehall genre.

“Free The Universe,” the collective’s second full-length album, introduces a more familiar cast of characters including Bruno Mars, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend and rapper Tyga. With the move, this album tends to stray outside of the crosshairs.

“Free The Universe” still has some charm, though. It’s just hidden under a few more layers this time out.

“Bubble butt, bubble bubble butt,” the usually smoothsinging Mars repeats on the sure-to-be accidental hit “Bubble Butt.” Lyrically, its not the most imaginative song, but it’s just odd enough that it will probably catch on.

Dubstep guru Flux Pavilion assists with “Jah No Partial.” So you get some breakdowns with the typical grinding dubstep noises thrown in for a change.

Koenig’s appearance on “Jessica” helps create one of the more laidback Major Lazer songs. Apparently, even the Major enjoys some time relaxing under the island sun.

“Free The Universe” introduces more influences into the Major Lazer sound. Luckily, they work more times than not.
