Pivotal moment for Ill. pensions Major reform bill, much changed in state House, now in Senate president’s hands By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com All eyes in the pension crisis are now on the Illinois Senate – and specifically Senate President John Cullerton – in the final weeks of the spring legislative session. House lawmakers on Thursday rammed through
far-reaching reforms meant to stabilize state-run pension systems that are underfunded by more than $96 billion. Powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan rewrote a Senate bill, sponsored by Cullerton himself, that critics called a barely adequate baby step when pension liability is growing by an estimated $17

million a day. The next move is Cullerton’s. He can sit on the bill and not call it, or he can move it forward, very likely with some proposed changes, such as what he is hammering out with leaders of the state’s powerful public-sector unions. Cullerton’s office did not return calls seeking com-
ment. But Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, who recently spoke with him, said Cullerton has no choice but to move meaningful pension reform forward. “I think he’ll slightly amend the bill, make some changes to it to save face or modify it to make it more acceptable to him, and he’ll try
‘Life backwards’
to run it,” Duffy said. With the spring session ending May 31, Duffy said he would be surprised if Cullerton tried to craft a completely new bill. Cullerton has been a voice of caution in the pension debate, warning that reforms

Journey out of homelessness spurs local woman’s desire to give back
By JOSEF FEDERMAN and KARIN LAUB The Associated Press BEIRUT – Israeli missiles struck a research center near the Syrian capital Damascus, setting off explosions and causing casualties, Syria’s state news agency reported early Sunday, citing initial reports. If confirmed, it would be the second Israeli strike on targets in Syria in three days, signaling a sharp escalation of Israel’s involvement in Syria’s bloody civil war. There was no immediate Israeli comment. However, Israel has said it will not allow sophisticated weapons to flow from Syria to the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and a heavily armed foe of the Jewish state. Two previous Israeli airstrikes, one in January and one on Friday, targeted weapons apparently bound for Hezbollah, Israeli and U.S. officials have said. The Syrian state news agency SANA reported early Sunday that explosions went off at the Jamraya research center near Damascus, causing casualties. “Initial reports point to these explosions being a result of Israeli missiles that targeted the research center in Jamraya,” SANA said. A Syrian activist group, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, also reported large explosions

While living in her car, Johnna Raithel worked on her artwork, writings and tried to stay occupied. She was admitted into McHenry County PADS, where she spent one month looking for work and getting back on her feet.

RYSTAL LAKE – During one of the worst nights within a stretch of bad ones, Johnna Raithel tried to make her fourwheeled apartment a home.
The 23-year-old remembers putting her hot pink comforter across the seat of her 1998 Mercury Mystique. She set out all her little hand-sewn pillows, the products of her own labor. She lay down as best she could, snuggling up on an October evening. But, like so many of those fall nights, Raithel could not sleep. She could only stare. “I just remember sitting there, like, this isn’t home,” she said. “I got all my things here, but my kids are with my husband. I don’t have any
money. I’m homeless.” ••• In technical terms, Raithel is 23 years old. She feels older. She dropped out of high school at age 16, got pregnant not long after. That was also the year she was diagnosed with ADHD. She married at age 17, the same year she had her first baby. Another one came two years later.

Honor Flight emotional for area vet VIEWS Dan McCaleb World War II veteran John L. “Jack” Sebesta initially wasn’t sure he wanted to make the trip. “When I asked him about it, he was like, ‘Eh, I don’t know,’ ” said Sebesta’s son, also named Jack Sebesta. Now, a couple of weeks after taking the Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., neither father nor son would trade the experience for anything. “It was phenomenal,” said the younger Sebesta, who is superintendent of facility services at the Crystal Lake Park District. “And it was very emotional.” (In the interest of clarity, Sebesta the World War II veteran will be referred to as Sebesta Sr., and his son as Sebesta Jr., for the rest of this column, even though they are not a senior and junior.) Proud of his father, Sebesta Jr. wanted to do something special for him. He had heard from a friend about Honor Flight, a nonprofit organization that celebrates veterans by flying them to Washington, D.C., for a day to visit their memorial and to share past experiences with fellow veterans. Because World War II veterans are in the twilight of their lives, they are Honor Flight’s main focus now. Pvc. Jack Sebesta Sr. served as a rifleman with the 328th Infantry Regiment, 26th Infantry Division, part of Gen. George Patton’s 3rd Army. He saw action in Czechoslovakia, Germany and Belgium, including at the Battle of the Bulge. Sebesta Jr. found two Chicago-area chapters that serve local veterans, McHenry Honor Flight and Honor Flight Chicago, and applied for both. Both chapters accepted Sebesta Sr., who agreed to go. For scheduling reasons, the Sebestas chose the Chicago group’s trip. (The McHenry chapter, under the leadership of Randy Granath, does incredible work, but its next scheduled trip conflicted with Sebesta Sr.’s schedule.) Jack Jr. initially was told that family members could not take the trip with their loved ones. Volunteers, called guardians, accompany the veterans. So Jack Jr. applied to become a guardian. He took a half-day of training and was accepted. The big day was April 17. A total of 84 veterans made the trip, 82 from World War II and two from the Korean War. Three women were among the veterans on the flight. On the trip from Chicago Midway Airport to Dulles in Washington, D.C., Sebesta Jr. was assigned to veteran Bob White. White also was a rifleman and was shot in the knee when crossing the Rhine River. “He did not lose his leg,” Sebesta Jr. said of White, who now lives with his son in Naperville. “He is one of the
Buy or Refi... Nancy Howley
nicest men I’ve ever met.” When the flight arrived in D.C., another guardian was waiting to escort White, and Sebesta Jr. got to spend the day with his father. The group first toured the Iwo Jima Memorial, officially known as the Marine Corps War Memorial, outside of Arlington National Cemetery. Next came the Air Force Memorial, followed by the World War II Memorial. That’s when the emotions started to come out. “This is where I start crying,” Sebesta Jr. said. “The memorials are great. They need to have these things to let future generations know what went on. But what is really special about this is the people. The respect and the honor and just the way they treated these veterans. “There were about 2,000 people in the memorial. There was not a person in the place who did not stop and watch what is going on, understanding what these veterans did for us. The respect that was shown to these people was amazing.” Sebesta warned me that he would tear up when recounting the story. “What struck me about dad was, everywhere but the WWII memorial, he was taking everything in. When he was having these conversations with these other vets, the look in his eyes was ...” Sebesta Jr. paused. “I’m trying to think of the word to say ... Dad’s not a person who shows a lot of emotion, but when he was having these conversations, remembering the people he had been with ...” It took a moment for Sebesta Jr. to relate the story of one of his father’s fellow service members, a man named Churchill, who is now deceased. “He was wishing that Churchill could be there to see this, to see the respect they had earned,” Sebesta Jr. said. After tours of the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Wall, Korean Memorial and the National Air and Space Museum, it was time to head back to Chicago. On the flight back, they held a mail call, similar to the mail calls from their service days. Each of the veterans received a stack of letters from family, friends and others. “My daughter is a teacher in Naperville, and some of her schoolkids wrote letters,” Sebesta Jr. said. “He’s still reading them.” When the group got back to Midway, Chicago Fire Department personnel greeted the veterans as soon as they got off the plane, put them in wheelchairs (even if they didn’t need one), and wheeled them through the gate. Active-duty military members took over from there, and wheeled the veterans out of the boarding area to a place where they were greeted by a military band, bagpipers and others celebrating their return. “Everyone who was there, to take a flight, drop someone off, whatever, they were watching, paying their respects,” Sebesta Jr. said. “He [Sebesta Sr.] couldn’t believe how much everyone
CLASSIFIED To place an ad: 815-455-4800 or 800-589-8237
honored them. I can’t even describe the emotion of the moment.” Needless to say, both Sebestas were elated that they went. “He absolutely loved it,” Sebesta Jr. said of his father, who now is in Europe on a trip with fellow 26th Infantry veterans and was unavailable to talk about his experience. Another special thing about these Honor Flights is that they are free for the veterans, so fundraising is crucial. Learn how you can contribute or nominate a veteran to take the trip at veteransnetworkcommittee.com or honorflightchicago.org. ••• Helping the homeless: The biggest fundraiser of the year for Pioneer Center for Human Services/PADS programs to help McHenry County’s homeless is this Saturday at Living Waters Church, 1808 Miller Road, Crystal Lake.

What’s at stake as Congress Young gay athletes set tone for NBA coming out takes up immigration reform By NANCY BENAC
The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – You’ve probably never heard of Holly Peterson or Jonathan Jean-Pierre. One came out as a lesbian at age 15, when she was playing high school basketball. The other, a college rower, told his teammates last year that he’s gay. There was little fanfare for either. There were no headlines as there were this past week when NBA player Jason Collins declared that he is gay, making him the first in a major U.S. men’s professional sport to come out. Some are calling Collins a role model for this up-andcoming generation of gay and lesbian athletes. But in some ways, those young athletes and their supporters also have helped pave the way for pros like Collins.
“Change is coming from the top down, but it’s also coming from the bottom up,” says Ellen Staurowsky, a professor of sport management at Drexel University in Philadelphia. “It is a movement that’s taken place quietly, on teams, in athletic departments with some coaches and athletes standing up when they needed t,” she said. “It’s an accumulated movement over many, many decades.” Awareness of homosexuality in athletics started to grow, slowly, Staurowsky said, in the 1970s on college campuses. Then in the early 1980s, tennis star Billie Jean King was outed, and Martina Navratilova also came out as a lesbian. As a small number of high-profile athletes followed suit in years to come, Gene Smith, the athletic director at Ohio State University, said he
and others began to notice a shift in momentum on college campuses by the mid-1990s. More young athletes were feeling empowered to be open about their sexuality, and the trend has only grown, he said. “I think it was easier on certain teams, and it kind of evolved over time,” said Smith, who was the athletic director at Eastern Michigan University and Iowa State University before going to Ohio State. For some, like Holly Peterson, an athlete who grew up outside Sacramento, Calif., coming out happened even earlier in life. She made the decision to tell her family and friends that she’s a lesbian 14 years ago, when she was a sophomore in high school. “I was ready,” said Peterson, who’s now 29. “I needed to tell someone.”
Ex-Marine who survived Iraq suicide bombing died of drugs, says coroner The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – A former Marine from Illinois who was badly disfigured by a suicide bombing in Iraq died of a combination of heroin and alcohol intoxication, a coroner’s inquest determined. Tyler Ziegel died Dec. 26 after a fall, but Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said Saturday it was the combination of drugs in his system – not the fall – that killed him. The coroner’s jury ruled Thursday that the 30-yearold’s death was accidental. Ziegel of Washington, Ill., was badly disfigured in 2004 bomb attack during his second tour of duty in Iraq. His skull was shattered, he was blind-
ed in one eye and he suffered severe burns to his face and body. A photo of him standing in uniform two years later next to his fiancée before their wedding won a World Press Photo award and is considered one of the most striking images to emerge from the Iraq War. His story of recovery – he endured dozens of surgeries – was cited by politicians. Gov. Pat Quinn mentioned his name in this year’s State of the State address in February. “Like so many of his fellow wounded warriors, Ty fought back,” Quinn said in the address. “He fought back through 59 surgeries and untold emotional scars to become an advocate for veterans and
military families.” The 2006 photo of Ziegel and his fiancée was a studio portrait taken in Washington, Ill., on their wedding day. He is dressed in his crisp Marine Corps uniform, his face left nearly featureless by his injuries. Next to him is a somber, unsmiling bride staring blankly at the camera in a white dress and holding a bouquet of red flowers. The photographer, Nina Berman, said the image demonstrated the war’s impact beyond the battlefield. “People don’t think this war has any impact on Americans? Well here it is,” she said in an interview in November at the opening of a Houston exhibit that included the image.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – This may be the year Congress decides what to do about the millions of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. After years of gridlock, there are ideas whizzing all around Washington. For now, all eyes are on an 844-page Senate proposal with the you-said-a-mouthful title of the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013.” Look for the Senate Judiciary Committee to take its first votes on the legislation Thursday. What’s in that bill? Is there a Plan B? And who are all these immigrants, once you get past the big round numbers? Some facts, figures and other information to help understand the current debate:
Why now? Major problems with U.S. immigration have been around for decades. President George W. Bush tried to change the system and failed. President Barack Obama promised to overhaul it in his first term but never did. In Obama’s second term, he’s making immigration a priority, and Republicans also appear ready to deal. Why the new commitment? Obama won 71 percent of Hispanic voters in his 2012 re-election campaign, and he owes them. Last year’s election also sent a loud message to Republicans they can’t ignore this pivotal voting bloc. It’s been the kind of breathtaking turnaround you rarely see in politics. Plus, there’s growing pressure from business leaders, who want to make it easier for the U.S. to attract highly educated immigrants and to legally bring in more lower-skilled workers

What’s the problem? Talk about “comprehensive immigration reform” generally centers on four main questions: • What to do about the 11 million-plus immigrants who live in the U.S. without legal permission. • How to tighten border security. • How to keep businesses from employing people who are in the U.S. illegally. • How to improve the legal immigration system, now so convoluted that the adjective “Byzantine” pops up all too frequently.
Is there a Plan B? Obama has his own backup plan in case congressional talks fail, but he’s given his support to the Senate bill as a worthy compromise. In the House, Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the head of the House Judiciary Committee, says his committee will tackle the main immigration issues one by one, instead of starting with a single sweeping bill. Separately, there’s a bipartisan House group working on legislation. Obama says he will keep an open mind about the various proposals, but the final deal has to address all the big issues.
What’s the gang of eight? A group of four Democrats and four Republicans in the Senate that crafted a bill to address all four questions. In a nutshell, this proposal would tighten border controls, allow more highand low-skilled workers to legally immigrate, require employers to verify their workers legal status, and create an opportunity for those in the U.S. illegally to eventually become citizens.
Coming to America A record 40.4 million immigrants live in the U.S., representing 13 percent of the population. More than 18 million are naturalized citizens, 11 million are legal permanent or temporary residents, and more than 11 million are in the country without legal permission, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a private research organization.
8STATE BRIEFS Electronics recycling up 50 percent in Illinois ROCKFORD – The state environmental agency said electronics manufacturers have recycled 50 percent more electronic waste since Illinois made it illegal to dispose of the material in landfills. The Rockford Register Star reported that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is preparing a report for lawmakers with that conclusion. The paper said the agency’s 2012 legislative report will show manufacturers tracked by the state recycled nearly 40 million pounds of electronic waste.

Central Ill. city to review party bus regulations BLOOMINGTON – The party – or at least the party bus – may be over in one central Illinois community. The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reported Bloomington officials are reviewing regulations for party buses following an incident last month. Illinois State Police shut down a Wild Nites party bus during a run to Champaign. The bus was licensed by the city of Bloomington, but police said it had several safety violations, including a rear door that was bolted shut.

Feds pressure widow, pals in Boston probe By BRIDGET MURPHY and MICHELLE R. SMITH The Associated Press BOSTON – Every time the widow of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev leaves her parents’ house, federal agents watching the residence follow her in unmarked vehicles. Federal authorities are placing intense pressure on what they know to be the inner circle of the two bombing suspects, arresting three college buddies of surviving brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and keeping Tamerlan’s 24-year-old widow, Katherine Russell, in the public eye with their open surveillance and leaks to me-
dia about investigators’ focus on her. Legal experts say it’s part of their quest not just to determine whether Russell and the friends are culpable but Katherine also to push for Russell as much information as possible regarding whether the bombing suspects had ties to a terrorism network or accomplices working domestically or abroad. A primary goal is to push the widow and friends to give their full cooperation, according to the experts. David Zlotnick, a profes-
sor of law at Roger Williams University and former federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia, said authorities may be tracking Russell closely because they feel she’s not being completely honest about all she knows. “It seems to me they don’t believe her yet,” he said. Dzhokhar is in a prison hospital, facing a potential death sentence if convicted of the terrorism plot that authorities allege the 19-year-old and his late 26-year-old brother carried out April 15. Twin pressure cooker bombs detonated near the race’s finish line, leaving three people dead and injuring more than 260 others. Tamerlan died in a gunfight
with authorities April 19, a day after authorities released photos of the suspects. Tamerlan’s widow has been ensconced at her parents’ North Kingstown, R.I., home since then. Much about her remains a mystery, including what she knew or witnessed in the weeks, months and years before the bombings, and what she saw and did in the days after. It’s unclear when Russell last communicated with her husband, but her lawyer, Amato DeLuca, told The Associated Press in an interview last month that the last time she saw him was before she went to work April 18. DeLuca said Tuesday that Russell
Activists, NRA agree: Fight not over By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press HOUSTON – National Rifle Association leaders told members Saturday that the fight against gun control legislation is far from over, with battles yet to come in Congress and next year’s midterm elections, but they vowed that none in the organization will ever have to surrender their weapons. Proponents of gun control also asserted that they are in their fight for the long haul and have not been disheartened by last month’s defeat of a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales. The debate over gun control legislation has reached a fever pitch in the wake of December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 first-graders and six educators were killed. The expanded background checks bill supported by President Barack Obama and other lawmakers in response to the Connecticut shooting failed to pass in the Senate. During a fiery and defiant speech Saturday, Executive

Smith and Wesson pistols are on display Friday during the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Houston. Vice President Wayne LaPierre, the public face of the NRA, said the “political and media elites” have tried to use Sandy Hook and other recent shootings “to blame us, to shame us, to compromise our freedom for their agenda.” He said the proposed bill “got the defeat that it deserved” and that the measure would do nothing to prevent the next mass shooting. “We will never surrender our guns, never,” LaPierre told several thousand people during the organization’s an-

nual member meeting, which is part of the yearly NRA convention being held this weekend in Houston. More than 70,000 NRA members are expected to attend the three-day convention, which began Friday. Acres of displays of rifles, pistols, swords and hunting gear could be found inside the convention hall. James Porter, the incoming NRA president, said Obama’s gun control efforts have created a “political spontaneous combustion” that has prompted millions of Americans to
become first-time gun owners and created a national outrage that will manifest itself in next year’s midterm elections. Meanwhile, across the street from the convention, advocates of expanded background checks and other gun control measures vowed to continue their fight. Kellye Bowman of the Houston chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a national grassroots effort promoting gun control that was started after the Sandy Hook shooting, said her organization was not discouraged by last month’s failure of the gun control bill. She said its defeat actually increased her group’s membership. Bowman, who described herself as a fifth generation Texan who grew up shooting guns, said her group’s primary focus now is meeting with legislators and supporting those who agree with their efforts and using the ballot box to remove those that don’t. “We can turn any mom into an activist. They need to start listening to us,” said Bowman, who was among more than 60 protesters who had gathered Saturday afternoon across the street from the convention.
Azamat Tazhayakov, students from Kazakhstan, were charged this week with conspiring to obstruct justice by taking a backpack with fireworks and a laptop from Dzhokhar’s dorm room, while Robel Phillipos was charged with lying to investigators about the visit to the dorm room. All three are 19 years old and face the possibility of five or more years in federal prison. The lawyers for the Kazakh students said their clients had nothing to do with the bombing and were shocked by the crime. Phillipos’ attorney, Derege Demissie, said he was accused only of a “misrepresentation.”
had met with law enforcement “for many hours over the past week,” and would continue to do so in the coming days. He previously told the AP that Russell didn’t suspect her husband of anything before the bombings, and nothing seemed amiss in the days after. Zlotnick said the fact that charges have been brought against the younger brother’s three friends from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth over allegations they covered up for Dzhokhar indicates authorities are willing to go after the widow for similar actions. That puts pressure on Russell to cooperate. Dias Kadyrbayev and
Debate heats up over morning-after pill By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – Allison Guarino understands the controversy over new rules allowing 15-year-olds to buy the morning-after pill without a prescription. But as someone who teaches pregnancy prevention to ninth-graders in Boston, she thinks lowering the age will “help the girls who need the help the most.” “Some girls might not have a good relationship with their parents,” she said, “or they had unprotected sex and they don’t know what to do.” On the other side of the issue are folks like Brenda Velasco Ross, who says the new rules infringe on her rights as a parent. “It breaks my heart and saddens me and really angers me,” said Ross, stepmom of four, including 12- and 13-year-olds in Ful-
lerton, Calif. “If you have to buy Sudafed, you have to show ID. When I buy spray paint for a project for my daughter, I have to show my ID. It just baffles me that, with this, which has to do with pregnancy and being sexually active, I don’t have to be involved. That to me just violates my rights as a parent to have guidelines and parameters for my children.” The two opinions reflect some of the issues in the debate over new rules issued last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which lowered the age for buying the drug without a prescription from 17 to 15. In April, a federal judge, Edward Korman, said there should be no age restrictions at all. The Obama administration said it wants to maintain the prescription requirement for those under 15 and will appeal the judge’s ruling.

Why the U.S. economic recovery is taking so long By PAUL WISEMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The American economy and job market are moving in the right direction, just not very quickly. The news Friday that U.S. employers added a solid 165,000 jobs in April and unemployment fell to a four-year low of 7.5 percent came as a relief. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 142 points, or 1 percent, on the news to close at a record 14,973. The better-than-expected April numbers erased worries that the U.S. economy was stalling for the fourth year in a row – a fear that had emerged after a disappointing jobs report for March. Friday’s report also showed job growth in March and February was stronger than first estimated. Nearly four years after a devastating recession, the U.S. economy and job market are far from a full recovery, but they have made steady progress. Here is an overview of America’s economic health:
Hiring: Picking up but facing a long slog The U.S. economy has been adding 196,000 jobs a month this year, up from a monthly average of 179,000 in 2011 and 2012. Given how far it needs to go, the job market is recovering more slowly than people had hoped. The U.S. still has
2.6 million fewer jobs than it had when the Great Recession began in December 2007. At the current pace of hiring, total U.S. jobs won’t reach the pre-recession level of 138 million for more than one year. Account for population growth, and the jobs ditch is even deeper: Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute, says the economy needs to add 8.6 million jobs, not 2.6 million, to keep up with a rising population.
Unemployment: Falling – but still high Unemployment has improved dramatically since peaking at 10 percent in October 2009. But by any normal standard, April’s 7.5 percent unemployment was still a recession-level figure – higher than it ever got in the short recession of 2001. The Federal Reserve doesn’t expect the unemployment rate to reach a healthy level – 6 percent or lower – any sooner than 2015. At least unemployment fell last month from 7.6 percent in March for the right reasons: More Americans reported having jobs and fewer reported being unemployed. A big part of the drop in unemployment the past 3½ years has come because people have given up looking for work. Only 63.3 percent of working-age Americans were working or looking for work
last month and in March. That is the lowest “labor force participation rate” since May 1979. People without a job who stop looking for one are no longer counted as unemployed. If the participation rate were at the pre-recession level of 66 percent, the unemployment rate could have reached 11.3 percent last month.
The economy: Growing slowly The economic recovery from the Great Recession is the slowest since World War II. Growth has been hobbled by lingering damage from a housing bust and financial crisis. The economy expanded just 2.4 percent in 2010, 1.8 percent in 2011 and 2.2 percent in 2012. It grew at an annual pace of 2.5 percent in the January-March quarter this year. If the economy were healthy, 2.5 percent growth would be fine. But generating enough jobs to bring unemployment down quickly requires faster growth. Economists hoped the economy would expand at a brisk pace this year – 3 percent or 4 percent. But across-the-board government spending cuts, which took effect March 1, are forcing federal agencies to furlough workers, reducing spending on public projects and making businesses nervous about investing and hiring. Growth is expected to slow to 2 percent in the April-June quarter.
Philadelphia abortion murder trial has impact nationwide The ASSOCIATED PRESS For weeks, jurors in Philadelphia heard grim testimony about deaths and squalor at Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s inner-city abortion clinic. While they listened, the murder case reverberated far beyond the courtroom, changing – at least for the moment – the tone of the national debate on abortion. Groups supporting legal access to abortion, after major successes in the 2012 national elections, find themselves on the defensive as they distance themselves from Gosnell. “All of us are appalled by the substandard illegal practices,” said Vicki Saporta, who as CEO of the National Abortion Federation represents hundreds of U.S. abortion clinics. “But to make the leap to say that’s indicative of the state of abortion care throughout the U.S. is absolutely false.” Anti-abortion activists, in contrast, are energized by the case, citing it in fundraising appeals and renewed efforts to expand state restrictions on abortion. “It’s very seldom we get such an opportunity to look at the realities of what’s happening in abortion,” said Dr. Donna Harrison, president
of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Gosnell, 72, is charged with killing five people – a patient and four viable babies that prosecutors say were born alive. Among scores of other counts, he also is accused of performing abortions after Pennsylvania’s 24-week limit. Jury deliberations began April 30 and are scheduled to resume Monday. Anti-abortion groups have seized on the case as a chance to reach an audience beyond their regular followers. Those efforts were enhanced midway through the trial when abortion opponents used social media to accuse some national news outlets of a “blackout” of the case, resulting in increased news coverage. Certainly, there’s been national attention. Beth Burkstrand-Reid, a University of Nebraska law professor who teaches courses about abortion and gender issues, says her students have been coming up to her before and after class to talk about the case. The horrific allegations against Gosnell – whose clinic was licensed but hadn’t been inspected since 1993 – have prompted the abortion-rights lobby to repudiate him as a
“rogue operator” employing practices far outside the norm. “This was an incredibly horrible situation and when it came to light, he was somehow associated with the abortion community, which he’s not,” said Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute, a research group which supports abortion rights. “It’s taking a long time for that message to get out. He does not represent abortion care in this country.” Anti-abortion groups are trying to make the case that he does, arguing that lax regulation and callous attitudes have allowed dangerous conditions to persist in many clinics. They also contend there’s little practical difference between what Gosnell is charged with – killing four babies who were born alive – and a lateterm abortion. The trial “shows people that abortion is about killing human beings that have arms and legs and in this case, a lot of attention has been focused on necks and spines that can be cut. They’re alive and something has to be done to them to cause them to die,” said David O’Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee.
and had no children. Ferguson said his remarks at an earlier conference were “as stupid as they were insensitive.” During a question-and-answer session after a prepared speech at the Altegris Strategic Investment conferNiall ence in CarlsFerguson bad, Calif., on Thursday, Ferguson was asked to comment about Keynes, an influential 20th century British economist who advocated government spending as a way to make up for lagging demand in a down economy. Ferguson suggested that Keynes philosophy was shaped by his homosexuality. Keynes had no children so he wasn’t as invested in future generations as others might be, Ferguson said.

7 American service members killed in Afghanistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – Seven U.S. soldiers and a member of the NATO-led coalition were killed on Saturday in one of the deadliest days for Americans and other foreign troops in Afghanistan in recent months, as the Taliban continued attacks as part of their spring offensive. The renewed violence came as Afghan President Ha-
mid Karzai acknowledged at a news conference that regular payments his government has received from the CIA for more than a decade would continue. Karzai also said that talks on a U.S.-Afghan bilateral security agreement to govern future American military presence in the country had been delayed because of conditions the Afghans were placing on the deal. The U.S.-led coalition re-
ported that five international troops were killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, and coalition spokesman Capt. Luca Carniel confirmed that all five were American. The coalition did not disclose the location of the roadside bombing. However, Javeed Faisal, a spokesman for the governor of Kandahar province, said the coalition patrol hit the
bomb in the Maiwand district of the province, the spiritual birthplace of the Taliban. Later, the coalition reported that a soldier with the Afghan National Army turned his weapon on coalition troops in the west, killing two in the most recent of so-called insider attacks. Such attacks by members of the Afghan security forces against their fellow colleagues or international
troops have eroded confidence in the Afghan forces as they work to take over from foreign forces. Both killed were American, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the nationalities ahead of an official announcement. Another coalition service member was killed in an insurgent attack in northern Afghanistan, the NATO-led
force said. It did not provide any further details of the incident. It was the fourth time since last summer that seven Americans have been killed on a single day in the war. On March 12, a Black Hawk helicopter crashed outside Kandahar, killing five U.S. troops. Two more U.S. troops were killed that day by an insider attack.

Issues back home trail Obama on trip By JULIE PACE The Associated Press
Where Great Gardens Begin ...
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica – President Barack Obama’s trip to Latin America had a decidedly domestic feel, with issues such as immigration, energy and education that are in the forefront of U.S. political debate also dominating his talks with regional leaders. The shared priorities show how closely entwined the U.S. is with its southern neighbors. These ties stem not only from geography, but also from the growing number of Hispanics living in the United States – and their rapidly increasing political power. “The United States recognizes our fates are tied up with your success,” Obama said Saturday during an economic forum in San Jose, the Costa Rican capital where he wrapped up his three-day trip. “If you are doing well, we will do better. And if we are
doing well, we think your situation improves,” he said. Obama’s stops in Mexico and Costa Rica marked his first visit to Latin America since winning re-election last November. His second-term victory resulted in part from the overwhelming support he received from Hispanic voters. The election results have led Republicans to reconsider their opposition to overhauling U.S. immigration laws, and a bipartisan bill is now being considered on Capitol Hill. The immigration debate is under close watch in Latin America, and Obama was asked often about it. He used the opportunity to address the concerns of Republican lawmakers, who argue that the U.S. must secure its 2,000-mile border with Mexico before offering a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million people already in the U.S. illegally.
Appealing to congressional concerns over spending, Obama said he is looking for ways for Mexico to pick up some of the cost of enforcing security at the border. “When it comes to borders, they’re shared,” he said. “Are there ways in which we can share some of the costs of continual infrastructure upgrades?” Obama was greeted warmly in Costa Rica, with crowds gathering along the roads in San Jose to watch his motorcade speed from the economic forum to the airport, where Air Force One waited to take him back to Washington. Obama’s agenda in Costa Rica included meetings with President Laura Chinchilla and talks with several Central American leaders. The president opened his visit Thursday in Mexico, where he held talks with new President Enrique Pena Nieto.

TEHRAN, Iran – For eight years, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinej ad has played the role of global provocateur-in-chief: questioning the Holocaust, saying Israel should be erased from the map and painting U.N resolutions as worthless. His provocative style grated inside Iran as well – angering the country’s supreme leader to the point of warning the presidency could be abolished. Now, a race is beginning to choose his successor and it looks like an anti-Ahmadinejad referendum is shaping up. Candidate registration starts Tuesday for the June 14 vote. Leading candidates assert that they will be responsible stewards, unlike the firebrand Ahmadinejad, who cannot run again because he is limited to two terms. One criticized Ahmadinejad for “controversial but useless” statements. Others even say the country should have a less hostile relationship with the United States. Comments from the presumed front-runners lean toward less bombast and more
Possible presidential front-runners in Iran The following are potential front-runners in Iran’s June 14 presidential elections. The list of candidates will be announced later this month: ALI AKBAR VELAYATI: Top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on international affairs. Velayati, 67, served as foreign minister during the 1980-88 war with Iraq and into the 1990s. He is a physician and runs a hospital in north Tehran. He was among the suspects named by Argentina in a 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. MOHAMMAD BAGHER QALIBAF: Tehran mayor and former commander of the Revolutionary Guard during the Iran-Iraq war. Qalibaf, 51, is a pilot who enjoys good relations with Khamenei. HASAN ROWHANI: A former nuclear negotiator and Khamenei’s representative at the Supreme National Security Council, which also handles the nuclear dossier. Rowhani, 64, is a British-educated cleric. MOHAMMAD REZA AREF: Liberal-leaning former vice president under reformist President Mohammad Khatami. Aref, 62, a former Tehran University chancellor, said he would drop out of race if Khatami decides to run. ESFANDIAR RAHIM MASHAEI: A top adviser to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and married to Ahmadinejad’s daughter. His candidacy is being heavily promoted by Ahmadinejad, but he will face serious hurdles during the vetting by the Guardian Council, which must approve all candidates. Mashaei, 52, was denounced as leader of a “deviant current” during Ahmadinejad’s political showdowns with Khamenei. MOHSEN REZAEI: Former chief commander of the Revolutionary Guard. Rezaei, 58, ran in 2009, but finished fourth. He is currently secretary of the Expediency Council, which mediates between the parliament and Guardian Council.
– The Associated Press diplomacy. They are apparently backed by a leadership that wants to rehabilitate Iran’s renegade image and possibly stabilize relations with the West. The result, however, may
be more a new tone rather than sweeping policy change. Under Iran’s theocratic system, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wields supreme power, making final decisions on nuclear and military questions.

U.S. housing perks up, but too few homes for sale By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Beth Heinen Bell and her husband, Christian – like a rising number of Americans – are ready to jump into the real estate market and become homeowners. Yet they’re running into an obstacle that’s keeping the national housing recovery in check: There aren’t enough homes for sale. The housing shortage they face in Grand Rapids, Mich., a city known for its furniture industry and sleek downtown hospital complex, is fairly typical of what the country as
a whole is facing this spring. Some markets along the East and West coasts have grown red-hot. A handful of other cities remain depressed nearly four years after the Great Recession ended. But many more places are like Grand Rapids – a metro area of roughly 1 million that is strengthening slowly but steadily. Like so many others, this Midwestern city 150 miles west of Detroit never experienced either the buyer frenzy or the price collapse that marked the boom and bust. Yet it, too, was affected. Prices fell. Homeowners lost equity. And now, many remain
unable or unwilling to sell. The shortage of homes is occurring just as ordinary Americans want to buy again. More of them feel confident about their job and retirement account. Mortgage rates are near historic lows. And prices are rising again, easing fears that new buyers might lose their investment in a home. “The last four years have been rough,” said Christian Bell, a 31-year-old Presbyterian minister who has been renting a cramped apartment for the last decade. “But housing prices are starting to come back up.” A tight supply isn’t the
Bill affects 4 out of 5 state-run pension systems Highlights of pension plan
• REFORM Continued from page A1 cannot violate the Illinois Constitution clause that protects pensions. The version of his Senate Bill 1 that passed the Senate was watered down to apply only to suburban and downstate teachers, and proposed forcing them upon retirement to choose between getting their 3 percent cost-ofliving increases or getting State Rep. state-funded Michael health insurMadigan ance. D-Chicago It passed the Senate on a 30-22 vote – all three of McHenry County’s senators voted against it because they State Rep. said it did not Mike Tryon R-Crystal Lake go nearly far enough. Madigan assumed sponsorship in the House and rewrote it, combining other legislation already passed by the House and adding even more provisions. The House passed it Thursday on a 62-51 vote, just two days after Madigan introduced the new language. It increases by 2 percent what most state employees must contribute to their pensions, raises the retirement age for workers younger than 45, and also raises the year when they can be eligible for the annual cost-of-living adjustment. It also limits the 3 percent COLA by calculating it based on $1,000 for each year of work – for example, a retiree who worked 35 years will get 3 percent of $35,000. The bill affects four of the five state-run pension systems for teachers, rank-andfile state employees, state legislators and university employees. Noticeably absent is the system for retired judges, who sued – and won – when the state tried a decade ago to eliminate their 3 percent COLA. Supporters state that the plan, if approved, would trim the unfunded liability by $30 billion and lead to a fully fund-
The Illinois House on Thursday rewrote Senate Bill 1 to include far more powerful pension reforms than the bill that passed the Senate proposed. The new bill: • Increases by 2 percent what employees must contribute to their pensions. The increase will be phased in by 1 percent on July 1, 2013, and to 2 percent on July 1, 2014. • Requires the state to pay into the systems what actuaries say is needed to keep them funded, with a goal of 100 percent funding by 2045. The pension systems can go to court to force payment if state lawmakers do not comply. • Limits the 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment to $1,000 per year of work. For example, an employee who worked 35 years will get 3 percent of $35,000, or a COLA of $1,050. • Raises the eligibility to receive the annual COLA to either age 67 or five years after retirement, whichever comes first. • Raises the retirement age for current employees younger than 45. Retirement ages are raised one year for workers between 40 and 44, three years for workers 35 to 39, and five years for workers 35 and younger. • Forbids public-sector unions in the state pension systems from negotiating pension-related changes with their government employers. The version of Senate Bill 1 that passed the Senate on a 30-22 vote only applied to downstate and suburban teachers. It would require them to choose upon retirement between getting their 3 percent annual cost-ofliving increase or state-sponsored health insurance.

ed pension system by 2045. Its provisions allow the pension system administrators to go to court to force the state to make its full payments if lawmakers balk. Union leaders already have pledged to go to court if the Madigan proposal becomes law. The Illinois Constitution states that public-sector pension benefits cannot be “diminished or impaired.” While organized labor and some politicians consider the provision inviolate, those backing deeper reforms have several schools of thought when arguing that the provision is not absolute. One argument maintains that lawmakers cannot tinker with benefits that a public-sector employee has accrued to date, but can alter them going forward. Supporters argue that the Illinois Constitution’s authors did not intend for new employees to be locked for life into the benefit packages that were in place on their first day on the job. Those favoring altering existing benefits, as the Madigan plan does, maintain that they are abiding by the constitution because they are saving the pension system from insolvency – namely that benefits would be diminished by the system going broke.
State Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, cited constitutionality Thursday when he defended his “no” vote in the House – he was the only McHenry County legislator to vote against the Madigan bill. But Duffy, who called Madigan’s plan “a leap in the right direction,” said that the longtime House speaker and chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois has the power to get the reforms successfully implemented. “Whatever we do is going to be challenged in court. If anyone can get a bill through the judges, it’s Mike Madigan,” Duffy said. Tryon cited Madigan’s long experience – 42 years in the House and speaker for all but two years since 1983 – against him. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of trust in Speaker Madigan’s public policy. We’re trusting the same guy who led us into the abyss,” Tryon said Thursday. The General Assembly spring session ends May 31. Special sessions aside, it will not reconvene until the fall veto session. But the threshold to pass pension legislation after month’s end jumps to three-fifths, which very likely would stop pension reform in its tracks until next year, given the close vote totals.

only factor slowing what is otherwise shaping up as the strongest spring buying season since the housing boom ended nearly seven years ago. Some Americans have grown to prefer renting. Others who would like to buy lack strong enough credit or a large enough down payment to meet the stricter standards banks now impose. Part of the reason for the supply problem is that when the housing market collapsed in 2006, many people lost so much equity in their home that they were unable or unwilling to sell. Prices have started to rise, but not enough to restore what many
lost. Some still owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth. Even many who have enough equity to sell want to wait for further price increases. “Every buyer wants to buy at the bottom, but no seller wants to sell at the bottom,” said Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate information site Zillow. “They’ve got this hypothetical price that they think the house is worth at the peak, and they don’t want to sell below that.” Others don’t want to leave. During the depths of the recession, they chose to renovate their house instead of
finding a new one. After paying for renovations, they now feel more invested and comfortable in their home. That leaves many firsttime buyers like the Bells – a group that makes up about one-third of buyers – competing for a small number of homes. Just a few years ago, the housing market was facing an oversupply of homes, one that eventually led prices to collapse. The bubble – and the bust – were worst in areas like Arizona, South Florida, Southern California and Las Vegas where developments kept popping up on vast tracts surrounding cities.
Israeli officials confirmed previous strike in Syria • ISRAEL Continued from page A1 in the area of Jamraya, a military and scientific research facility northwest of Damascus, about 10 miles from the Lebanese border. An amateur video said to be shot early Sunday in the Damascus area showed a huge ball of fire lighting up the night sky. The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other Associated Press reporting. Israel’s first airstrike in Syria, in January, also struck Jamraya. At the time, a U.S. official said Israel targeted trucks next with the research center that carried SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles. The strikes hit both the trucks and the research facility, the official said. The Syrian military didn’t confirm a hit on a weapons shipment at the time, saying only that Israeli warplanes bombed the research center. On Saturday, Israeli officials confirmed that a day earlier, Israeli aircraft
targeted advanced surface-to-surface missiles in Syria that were apparently bound for Hezbollah. The missiles were believed to be m600s, a Syrian version of Iran’s Fatah 110 missile, an extremely accurate guided missile capable of traveling roughly 190 miles with a half-ton warhead, an Israeli official said The Israeli officials spoke anonymously because they had not been given permission to speak publicly about the matter. In Washington, a Pentagon spokeswoman said she had no information relating to Sunday’s report of a new Israeli airstrike in Syria. President Barack Obama said Saturday, before the latest incident, that it was up to Israel to confirm or deny any strikes, but that the U.S. coordinates very closely with Israel. “The Israelis, justifiably, have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah,” Obama told the Spanish-language TV station Telemundo.
Israel has said it wants to stay out of the brutal Syria war, but could inadvertently be drawn in as it tries to bolster its deterrence and prevent sophisticated weapons from reaching Hezbollah. Since the conflict in Syria erupted more than two years ago, fighting has repeatedly spilled into Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights. Renewed concern about a wider conflagration come as Washington considers how to respond to indications that the Syrian regime may have used chemical weapons in its civil war. Obama has described the use of such weapons as a “red line,” and the administration is weighing its options – including possible military action. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, has drawn his own red line, saying repeatedly that the Jewish state would be prepared to take military action to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining new weapons that could upset the balance of power.

‘To see people who were homeless ... and this is really happening to me’ • HOMELESSNESS Continued from page A1 By 19, she was a married mother of two, a stay-at-home mom. “I’m only 23, but I feel like I was living in my 30s with kids and a husband,” Raithel said. “All of a sudden, I’m waking up freezing cold in my car. “I feel like I kind of did my life backwards.” ••• In hindsight, Raithel believes ADHD was the root of many of her struggles at Crystal Lake Central. Her decision to drop out pained her parents, but they maintain they’ve continued to offer support for their daughter. John Behrens, Raithel’s dad, said that if the disorder created anxiety and depression to the level his daughter has said, they were left mainly in the dark. “Back then, it wasn’t as common,” Behrens said. “We didn’t get any direction from the schools on how to appropriately deal with it.” Raithel is convinced she would have been an honor student on her ADHD medication. Instead, she dropped out and married young. “We grew up and we weren’t kids anymore, and we just didn’t really match,” she said. “I changed as a parent. He changed as a parent. … We needed to go our separate ways.” In September, the couple separated. The kids went with Raithel’s husband. She kept the apartment through the end of the month, then stayed with a friend for a couple of weeks. When that didn’t work out, she was homeless. “We were surprised as anyone was when she was out on the street,” Behrens said. “The whole reason she became homeless was she wanted to get out of her marriage. That was her solution to getting out of a situation she didn’t want to be in.” ••• After about a week in her

She just stared. That was attempt No. 1. Attempt No. 2 went smoother. She made it through the night. Eventually, she realized the support that PADS could offer. The center provided not just a warm bed, meals, gas cards and vouchers for her ADHD meds, Raithel said, but opportunities for friendships. She became close with her roommates. “I remember, there were some nights where we were just up laughing,” she said. “We kept saying, ‘We’re too happy to be homeless. How are we homeless?’ ” But the reality took its toll. During those days, music – an ever-present pillar in her life – took on an even greater importance. She discovered Ravi Shankar, the renowned sitar player who died last year. The music soothes. Raithel also would find ways to scrape money together for some jewelry, or a cheap wardrobe piece. “I remember going to Savers [Thrift Store], like, ‘OK, I’ve got like $2, I could proba-
bly get a necklace,’” she said. “I just tried to remain myself and spend a little tiny bit on myself, just to feel normal I guess.” ••• In December, things started looking up. Her parents took her back into their Crystal Lake home, and in February she landed a job as a bus aide at a Head Start preschool. She’s enjoying it, but she doesn’t see her own kids – now 3 and 5 – nearly as much as she used to. They spend most days with Raithel and her parents, but most nights with their dad. Raithel and her husband, John, are due in court late this month. Her relationship with her parents remains rocky, but it’s improving. Behrens said he and his wife never lost touch with their daughter, and want nothing but the best for her. Watching her struggle has been, he said, “one of the hardest things a parent can ever go through.” Still, it took time before they let her back in their home. “It originally was not an option,” Raithel said. “I think my high school life kind of left an impression on them. “I actually went to counseling with my parents and kind of fixed our relationship, and they were willing to let me back in the home,” she said. “It feels good to be part of a family again.” ••• Lately, Raithel has this new desire to help. With the $20 fee paid by her parents, she’s entered herself into the PADS SleepOut for Shelter event, which is set for May 11. She has a goal to raise $200. She also has found some professional ambition. Her current job, she said, provides nowhere near the money she needs to get her own place. But it’s a start. Her long-term goal is to work toward a position that’d allow her to help those with ADHD. In the meantime, she has her own way of encouraging kids.
“Now every time I see high schoolers, and I’m driving by, I just tell them to stay in school. ‘Stay in school!’” she said, smiling. “It’s the least I can do now.” Before her separation, Raithel had gotten comfortable in her life as a stay-athome mom. She assumed, once leaving the relationship, that she’d find a job without much effort, one that would easily provide enough money for her own place. “It was eye-opening,” she said. “It’s like, real life is real, and it’s really hard.” But she believes the experience has helped her turn a corner, and she’s ready for the next step. Her parents are, too. “[We] know that she can do

independent and successful. There’s no reason she can’t do that.”

MCC board faces tough balancing act The McHenry County College Board of Trustees has gone through another significant transition with the election last month of three new members followed by the board’s vote for a new chairman. After the For the record newest members – Molly Walsh, The new McHenry County Chris Jenner and College Board of Trustees must Tom Wilbeck – balance the needs of students took their oaths of and the workplace with the office, the board interests of taxpayers. voted, 4-3, to elect Ron Parrish its chairman. The split vote on the chairmanship is not necessarily a sign of future gridlock on the board. Healthy boards should include members of diverse backgrounds and opinions. If they were to agree on everything, especially with the recent makeover, that would be a cause for concern. What’s important now is that the board work together to ensure that the college’s purpose is met: preparing students for four-year universities and to fill the needs of the county’s ever-evolving workforce. We appreciate Parrish’s message, offered after being elected board chairman, of the importance for the college to be transparent and communicate clearly with the public. The next few years will be vital ones for MCC. It is growing, and the needs of its student population and the local workforce are changing. The college last year proposed an aggressive – and expensive – expansion plan. Because there is not a clear funding source identified for expansion, many taxpayers pushed back. The new board must continue to advocate for and provide more higher education opportunities for McHenry County residents. As we’ve said before, the entire community benefits when its populace is better educated. A better-educated workforce means betterpaying jobs, which translates into a healthier economy. But the board also must keep taxpayers’ interests in mind, and invite community feedback on growth plans. We recognize that meeting the needs of students and the workforce while also addressing taxpayers’ concerns can be a difficult balancing act. But we have confidence that the college and the board of trustees can work toward common-sense solutions.
8IT’S YOUR WRITE Misguided To the Editor: How does spending taxpayer money on a full, four-color advertisement demonstrate leadership qualities? If you need to defend your tenure and actions by reaching out to the public in such a way, you are missing the point. Positive actions and conservative stewardship of public funds shows a truer connection to everyone. Provide better educational opportunities: This is the true mission of McHenry County College. MCC would be better-served if the person leading it did not extoll her involvement in one of the local clubs as community involvement. She would be better served if she read and lived up to the four-way test of Rotary, which is recited before every Rotary meeting. Bob Maronde

Blurred red line Did they or didn’t they? No one seems to know with certainty. The White House said that U.S. intelligence officials believe that Syria likely has used chemical weapons on a small scale, in particular the deadly chemical sarin. Sarin is a chemical whose production and stockpiling has been outlawed for 20 years. It is a horrible weapon, one that no government of conscience would use, particularly against its own people. President Barack Obama has said that use of chemical warfare against opposition forces by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime would be crossing a “red line,” ostensibly one that would result in America stepping up its involvement in the Syrian civil war. If sarin has been used, it has been limited. Intelligence officials have noted a lack of mass casualties that might be expected from use of chemical weapons. Some, including U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have called for U.S. action, but the line that was crossed wasn’t red enough for the administration. The United States certainly doesn’t want to make a misstep here, but neither can we turn our back on our allies. Obama has clearly stated that use of chemical weapons in Syria is a game-changer, and there is no way to back away from that commitment. The Albany (Ga.) Herald
Unfortunate response To the Editor: Recently, McHenry County voters rejected the creation of a 377 Board. Some say that was an insensitive response to a special interest group in need. At the risk of appearing as accused, I defend the majority. Homeowners are under siege. McHenry County Board members employ lobbyists to work against taxpayer interests when relief is being sought in Springfield. School districts and McHenry County government are part of the foreclosure issue. Township assessors overvalue real estate to satisfy government handlers. County engineers insist on destroying scenic byways to justify their employment. Local judges insist on paying special prosecutors for prosecuting nothing. Federal and state governments cannot budget. They spend more than they receive. They promise more “free stuff” to illegal aliens and indigents. The public sector culture of
fraud prevails, giving rise to higher federal and state tax rates. When teachers or administrators tell us it’s for the kids, it’s about compensation, union dues or pensions. When boards approve alternative revenue bonds and investment schemes go awry, taxpayers get the bill. Proponents of 377 claim that funding from the state has been curtailed, causing the need for local taxing. Haven’t taxpayers already paid for this same funding to federal and state governments? It is unfortunate that with 7,000 taxing authorities in Illinois, all special interest needs aren’t satisfied. It remains the providence of voters to reject that which they feel they cannot afford or have already paid for. When any request is perceived to be another layer of government, how are voters to respond? The growing distaste for public sector conduct will result in the unfortunate response.

Yankee doodle To the Editor: I’m replying to David Brooks’ letter of April 19, “Gun rights exaggeration.” His first sentence goes on for 44 words. The rest of his letter, as Rush Limbaugh would say, “is antiSecond Amendment propaganda.” Lest you forget, “Twas April 18, of ’75, hardly a man is still alive, so listen my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere ...” On the following day, April 19, 1775, the shots heard around the world were fired at Lexington and Concord. It was there that the English tried to confiscate the Americans’ guns. Thank God for the wisdom or our founding fathers establishing the Second Amendment. Any questions? Read “The Federalist.”
How to sound off We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to editing
Doing the same test repeatedly and expecting a different result is insanity. England, Canada and Australia were promised by their politicians, “no gun confiscation.” The politicians lied; they confiscated. Mr. Brooks’ last paragraph states, “confiscation is nothing more than exaggeration and fear-mongering by those with an agenda to subvert the truth or a severe case of paranoia.” I don’t believe that. Democrats, President Barack Obama, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Dick Durbin, Sen. Charles Schumer and Sen. Harry Reid want to outlaw AR15s and large capacity magazines and confiscate those already owned.

To the Editor: I just wanted to take a moment to offer a sincere thank you to the Northwest Herald for having the insight to print two very good articles recently about a very serious health concern, Lyme disease and related tick-borne diseases. Just to let everyone know: the World Wide Lyme Protest is going to be on May 10 and 11 at Daley Center Plaza. For more information, visit lymesupportnetwork.org.

To the Editor: I agree with one point Rich Pytka made in his letter on April 25: We need to get a handle on election spending to level the playing field in politics. Too often, it seems, politicians spend their time chasing dollars rather than doing the jobs we elected them for. But that’s where my agreement with Pytka ends. He holds up U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin as an example of the problem. Actually, he’s one of the few elected officials willing to take on the problem. For many, many years, he has been fighting to limit campaign spending and even the playing field for challengers. Durbin’s bill is called the Fair Elections Now Act. If you’re interested in how money influences politics, you should check it out. The bill provides qualified congressional candidates with grants, matching funds and vouchers from the federal Fair Elections Fund to help their campaigns. In turn, those candidates must limit their campaign spending to that money plus what they raise from “small-dollar” donors. Big contributors and special interests would be stripped of their ability to drive fundraising and, it follows, their disproportionate influence on politics. Fair elections are a must for a healthy democracy. That’s what we deserve and it’s what Durbin’s bill would give us. I applaud the senator for working on this issue.

MCC GETS GRANT FOR MATERIALS CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County College Library will expand its collection of print and audiovisual materials of interest to African-American and Latino students. The expansion is made possible from a $5,000 “Back to Books” federal grant for a project titled “The Changing Faces of McHenry County,” according a news release from the college. Library officials will survey students, faculty and staff this summer to identify types of subject matter to buy, including print and audiovisual materials such as CDs and DVDs. These materials will be available to students, faculty and community residents in the fall. Community residents may check out materials from the MCC Library, especially those who are not served by a public library. This grant is funded with federal Library Services and Technology Act funds awarded to the Illinois State Library by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Officials get rules reminder State’s Attorney, Attorney General offices offer ethics training in county By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – If there’s one guiding principle to be learned from a transparency and ethics training session for newly elected public officials it was this: Avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Representatives from the McHenry County State’s Attorney and Attorney General offices offered the class last week to give local officials a crash course in government transparency and ethics. “It’s really designed to help all of us in government better understand
our legal and ethical responsibilities, and more efficiently respond to our constituents,” State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi said. More than that, the informational session would help elected officials avoid potential criminal ramifications, or at the very least embarrassing bad press. The evening’s event highlighted the Freedom of Information Act, the Open Meetings Act and the Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act. Donna Kelly with the State’s Attorney’s Office urged elected officials to be aware of any potential conflicts of interest, disclose them
and abstain from voting on those matters. “If you’re concerned at all that you have a conflict, it is always, always best to err on the side of caution because [there can be] criminal ramifications,” Kelly said. Although rare, there also can be criminal penalties for violating the Open Meetings Act, which ensures that public business is conducted in meetings open to the public. “Since 1962, one person did go to jail for a violation of the Open Meeting Act, so rest assured you won’t be doing any hard time,” Assistant Attorney General Matt Rogina said
to laughs from the crowd. Rogina quickly made his way through explaining FOIA, which allows people to request public information from the government, and exemptions by which governmental bodies can deny a request. But the night’s discussions could be summed up in a quote from former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who said “sunlight is the best disinfectant,” Rogina said. “I’m not talking about Lysol,” he said. “I’m talking about the importance of sunshine and government, open records, public disclosure and how that’s essential to democracy.”

Donna Nutile of Lake in the Hills gives her dog, Murphy, a treat for climbing into a tree at the Bark in the Park party on Saturday in Lake in the Hills. The event allowed dogs and their owners to enjoy the 10-acre off-leash park with various activities going on throughout the day. Visit NWHerald.com for a photo gallery from Bark in the Park.
Site features large canine playing areas, obstacle course By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – There was a four-legged frenzy Saturday afternoon when dogs and their owners gathered at the Lake in the Hills Bark Park for the village’s first Bark in the Park party. The sunny afternoon was the perfect backdrop for pets and owners to socialize with one another in the enclosed 10-acre park on Haligus Road. Yearly membership is required for use of the Bark Park, which features large playing areas, an obstacle course and a separate adjustment area for dogs new to socializing in large, open areas.
The free event included a farthestcatch contest, dog rally, music and visits from local vendors. LITH resident Jessica Harper is a member of the Bark Park and received an email about the event. Harper brought her Brittany spaniel, Murphy, and her puggle, Guinness. “This is great way for them to release some energy and become familiar with other dogs,” said Harper. “Everyone I know has dogs, and having a nice park like this to go to is great.” The purpose of the LITH Parks Department is to offer events to bring the community together with their families and pets are part of the family, said Andrew Gemmell, superintendent of recreation for the depart-

Plan in works for a haunted house on Woodstock Square By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Square does Christmas celebrations. It does Groundhog Day like no one else. Now, Woodstock can add Halloween to its list of holiday celebrations on the Square. Family Alliance has started planning a 7,000-square-foot haunted house called Madness Manor. The center will use volunteer support to transform a building off site into the haunted house before bringing it to the square. Proceeds from the haunted house, which will be open from Sept. 27 through Nov. 2, will go to the Family Alliance and the city. The city’s portion will help fund Old Court-

“It’s a beautiful park and we want to show it off,” said Gemmell. “This is a great reason for people to come out and play with their dogs and just have fun.” Owners left the event with happy, tired pups as well as information and freebies from local pet industry vendors. LITH resident Nicole Kotelman recently applied for membership to the Bark Park and brought her Australian shepherds, Bella and Mizzou, out to enjoy the park. “Our dogs need to be able to get out and run,” said Kotelman. “We live in a townhome and don’t really have a yard. This a great place for them to get out so they’re not cooped up inside.”

Community’s family album had devoted creator By SARAH PEASLEY editorial@nwherald.com Writing this column was not a part-time job for my father. Community journalism was his life. Before he died Friday, at age 90, he had already put in two hours at his desk, read several newspapers, and turned in a column well before deadline. I was blessed to have arrived from Denver the night before for a long-planned visit and to be holding his hand when he passed quietly, most likely from a heart attack. My dad never had a den or a workbench in the garage, like other dads. He headquartered in front of a typewriter in his home office. That’s where you’d find him bright and early with his first of many cups of coffee, discuss-
ing with his assistant the ribbon-cutting he’d photograph at noon or interviewing a source on the phone. That’s where you’d find him late at night, when he’d crank out most of his stories. For Dad, a trip to the store was an opportunity Don Peasley to run into an acquaintance and get a story idea. A drive to interview a businessman in Hebron would take him past a beautiful barn, which he’d return to photograph on a perfect sunny day. Looking back, it’s really astonishing that he could thrive for more than 50 years as a self-employed writer and photographer,
ferreting out small-town news and feature stories and consistently, relentlessly turning out images and words. Was it his jovial nature that made him such a prolific journalist or his countless connections with the people of Woodstock and McHenry County that made him so cheerful? Both, no doubt. He wanted to know more about every person he met, and I truly never heard him say an unkind word about anyone – he just wasn’t capable of it. Dad had many wonderful assistants through the years whom he mentored; without them, there would be no Don Peasley legacy. They did increasingly more work as he aged and made it possible for him to stay active. Since the ’50s,
More on Peasley To read the obituary for Don Peasley, see page B7. they also devotedly glued those newspaper clippings into old-fashioned, oversized scrapbooks, and boxed his photos and negatives. It is our community’s collective family album, highlights spanning decades, and it’s a pleasure to see. Dad’s lifetime of work is in the capable care of the McHenry County Historical Society. Readers interested in preserving that history may make donations to its Don Peasley Photography Archive Collection, which maintains and digitizes this vast and valuable archive. I’m honored to be asked
to write something in place of Dad’s usual column this week. But Dad would want you to know what he’d written: Marian’s Alumni Memorial Mass is at 2:45 p.m. May 15 in the school chapel. Woodstock High School senior Henry Gantner won Best in Show at the Fox Valley Conference Art Show. And North High School Senior Rebecca Einspahr won a $15,000 Golden Apple Scholars college scholarship.

Family Alliance hopes event grows • HAUNTED HOUSE Continued from page B1 The haunted house will be made from Madigan Manor, a Victorian-style home built in the 1800s near Bull Valley. The city currently owns the building, Clark said. “We’re going to be building everything in the summer offsite, and then moving it to the Square,” she said. Clark said Family Alliance – an adult wellness center that

She said the center is trying to get other retailers and restaurants on the Square involved. Proceeds from Kid’s Day on Oct. 5 will go toward Victorian Christmas funds, which retailers usually have to pay for themselves. And Family Alliance is hoping the event in the Square will grow through the years. The city supports that vision, Clark said. “They really want it to be very atmospheric on the Square,” she said.

DONALD D. PEASLEY Born: Dec. 5, 1922 Died: May 3, 2013; in Woodstock WOODSTOCK – Donald D. Peasley, 90, died Friday, May 3, 2013, at his Woodstock home.

A graduate of Terre Haute (Illinois) High School in 1940, he attended the University of Illinois from 1940-43 and began his career as a journalist on the editorial staff of The Daily Illini. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserves and began active duty July 1, 1943. He served in the Pacific Theater aboard the U.S.S. Blue Ridge, an amphibious force command ship, and the USS Lawrence C. Taylor, a destroyer escort that worked closely with an aircraft carrier to patrol the shipping lanes off the coasts of China and Japan. Returning home during a leave, Don married Frances Keane on Feb. 14, 1946. With his bride, they returned to the University of Illinois. He continued his career as a journalist at The Daily Illini, and graduated in June 1947. The couple moved to
by the Illinois Humanities Council following nomination for the recognition by Woodstock City Council in 2007. He was chosen Woodstock Citizen of the Year by the Woodstock Lions Club in 2006 and honored by the Illinois 4-H Foundation with induction into the 4-H Foundation Hall of Fame. His journalistic endeavors, including 60 years of covering high school activities, were recognized with his induction into the Woodstock High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006.

Woodstock in October 1947, where Peasley worked as managing editor of the Woodstock Journal, Hebron Times and Huntley Review, papers owned by John Strohm, nationally known editor and world traveler. Peasley’s journalism career quickly expanded to include success as a photojournalist, editor, columnist and historian. He often mentioned his opportunity to comment on local accomplishments and local personalities throughout his career as an editor and columnist as one of his most satisfying experiences. With his newspaper columns, he helped recognize achievements of many individuals. In 1954, he urged the Woodstock City Council to honor George Sullivan, Woodstock Sentinel editor for 40 years, by naming the Little League field at city park Sullivan Field. Peasley was a founding member of the Woodstock Little League in 1954. He had served on its board ever since, including 45 years as secretary. In 1962, he established Play Ball! an annual yearbook featuring league history, highlights, team photos and individual recognition. In 1955, he established Woodstock VFW News, a monthly publication to keep members informed of issues related to veterans. The publication earned 15 national VFW “Best Publication” awards. Peasley founded a public relations firm in 1961. He worked in communications at Illinois Farm Bureau from 1950 until the organization moved from Chicago to Bloomington in 1961. Throughout the years, Peasley had a close relationship with agriculture. Through stories and photos, he chronicled major changes affecting the agricultural community in McHenry County. He helped edit and produce the monthly Farm Bureau publication from 1947 until its close in 2002. He was involved in a host of community events, primarily as a volunteer, including Woodstock’s success in becoming an All-America City in National Municipal League competition in 1963-64. Peasley was instrumental in promoting the McHenry County Fair and photographed every Fair Queen since 1946. Last year, the Fair Board recognized his contributions by designating the first day of the Fair as “Don Peasley Day” and placed a nameplate on a bench. Realizing the historic value of his photography collection, Don in 1990 began making prints of his negatives, confirming identification and giving them to the McHenry County Historical Society for its archives in 1990. He was presented the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award

erry Lagerhausen just wants the best for his Alden-Hebron softball team. Even if it means using the same $300 high-performance composite fast-pitch bats that sent his daughter Hayli to the hospital with broken bones in her face four years ago. They buy them for the “bubble transition zones,” “inner socket technologies” and “optimized fused layers” that nobody understands. They come with a label warning of “a risk of serious injury or death.” “It just dropped [Hayli],” Lagerhausen said of the batted ball that struck his daughter in the jaw during a game at South Beloit. “It literally destroyed her face. You panic because it was my daughter, and she was only 16.” But Lagerhausen wants the best for his team. That’s why you’ll find the same model of composite bat that injured his daughter four years ago lining the dugout walls during the Giants’ games and practices. “I would be the first one to say that I’m just as guilty as anybody else,” Lagerhausen said. “I’m no better, but in order for my girls to be able to compete, I have to do it.” See SAFETY, page C4

Orb gives trainer McGaughey, jockey Rosario first Derby wins By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Way back in the pack heading into the final turn, Orb was calm even if his jockey wasn’t. Then trainer Shug McGaughey’s bay colt picked up speed, churning through a sloppy track that resembled creamy peanut butter, and blew past rivals one-by-one. By that time, jockey Joel Rosario knew he was aboard

It’s exactly what I wanted.” Rosario had Orb in the clear on the outside, and they forged to the lead in the deep stretch, with enough momentum to hold off 34-1 shot Golden Soul. It was a popular victory before a crowd of 151,616, which poured enough late money on Orb to make him the 5-1 favorite, a position Revolutionary had owned most of the day.

NEW YORK – Joakim Noah climbed over the baseline seats, his foot that hurt so much two weeks ago that he feared he couldn’t play looking pain-free as he embraced his mother.

Deron Williams had 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Nets. They were trying to become the ninth NBA team to win a series after trailing 3-1.

ubs chairman Tom Ricketts created a stir this week when he threatened to move the team if it didn’t gain approval for two proposed signs and a gigantic video board at Wrigley Field. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:
Musick: It appears that the Cubs’ big boss man finally has put his foot down. Sort of. A little bit. He said the Cubs could move if they don’t get their way, but then he backtracked like a center fielder who misjudged a fly ball. Styf: He should threaten that. But I can’t imagine the Cubs following through. It’s clearly a ploy, as the legal part of this debacle gets underway. They didn’t spend all the money to work up this plan and woo politicians (Stealing from your column on the Cubs’ political spending here) only to see it fall apart. Pro sports teams usually get their way. Musick: Yes, and I think the Cubs will get their way, at least for the most part. But is it the right way? I know the Cubs should be allowed to spend their money how they see fit, but I’m a bit confused about why signage is such a big issue. What about, I don’t know, making sure the 99-year-old stadium doesn’t fall down? Styf: It’s about money and balloon payments and debt. Kind of like the state, only they actually have a feasible plan to get out from underneath it. That plan is to sell ads on a video board (What, you thought it was about improving the fan experience?). And if they can’t sell those ads, they will take their ball and go home. Either way, this won’t impact the baseball-spending bottom line, don’t let them convince you otherwise. Musick: None of this makes me more confident about sitting in the press box atop Wrigley’s crumbling concrete. Nor does it make me confident that the Cubs can find a way to renovate the NL Central standings. Those free-agent deals for Edwin Jackson (4 years, $52 million) and Kyuji Fujikawa (2 years, $9.5 million) aren’t looking so hot at the moment. Styf: Don’t go lumping Fujikawa in with Edwin now. Fuji anchored my fantasy baseball bullpen well, for two days. And that’s all that really matters. I’m just amused that anyone could think they’d actually move. They won’t. It would be interesting, and it would most likely make the stadium more accessible for those of us up at the end of the Metra line, but I just don’t see it as realistic. Musick: Perhaps the Cubs can sign someone from Fiji to join Fuji. But I don’t think anyone anywhere believes that the Cubs are going anywhere. Ricketts is blowing hot air. Maybe he should run for mayor. Styf: Of Hebron.

Beth Murphy is a lifelong Cubs fan and the owner of Murphy’s Bleachers in Wrigleyville. She is also the spokeswoman for the rooftop owners who have opposed elements of Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts’ $300 million Wrigley Field renovation plan. They claim his plan, which calls to add a Jumbotron and other revenue-generating signage, would be detrimental to their business and would violate the contract they have with the club. Ricketts said publicly at a meeting of the City Club last week that if his plan wasn’t approved, he would consider moving the team out of the historic 99-year-old ballpark.
I’ve gone to Wrigley Field since I was a child. I used to walk over to the ballpark and wait in line to go to the bleachers. It was kind of the thing to do. They had a very charismatic team and a team, for the first time in decades, that looked like it was going to be successful. I remember a day in 1967 when the Cubs went into first place and all of a sudden people started to clap and it was a very exciting moment. In 1969, we just thought the Cubs were going to be in the World Series and I didn’t have any question about it. I don’t think I spoke for the entire month of September and I went into shock because that was not going to happen. Then the same thing happened to me in 1984 and then in 2003. How many times can you be fooled by this? But they keep sucking me in. So Wrigley Field for me is lots of memories. This is unique. This is authentic and it is a very recognizable view of Chicago. People know about the rooftops. We just took someone to the rooftops from Paris. We take people up to the rooftops from Australia. People come and point to the rooftops and that’s what has been a shame about what has been happening. There’s no reason for Cubs fans or anyone else to disparage the rooftops because they really are part of Chicago and a recognizable part of Wrigley Field. They’re different. They’re something nobody else has.
We are neighbors [in Wrigleyville] and Wrigley Field is obviously a big neighbor. We have a tradition as 30year partners of working with the Cubs, working with the Cubs ownership and solving problems. I wish people could understand that better. We need to work together and come up with solutions. So it’s a little more complicated than saying, ‘They’re the only game in town’ or ‘you knew there was a stadium there.’ It’s more of a give and take. I think the neighborhood is very important to the Cubs’ success – maybe the major element – and I just wish there was a little more consideration there.
My takeaway wasn’t that [Ricketts] was talking about moving [the Cubs], but he was talking about stuff he would like to do at Wrigley Field, so I didn’t grab that headline out of it that he’s threatening to move. But he said that for the first time and so I understand that was a big story. Alderman [Tom Tunney] said he thought [Ricketts’ threat to move the Cubs] was a comment borne out of frustration, and I think there may be an element of truth to that. But I would wonder why they would move because they have something unique to baseball. They have a ballpark in the neighborhood and it draws fans to see the whole of the neighborhood, and [the Cubs] benefit from that. • I’m Just Saying is a regular Sunday feature.

8SPORTS SHORTS Red Stars drop road match to Boston SOMERVILLE, Mass. – The Red Stars found themselves down early after two first-half Breakers goals, and suffered a 4-1 loss in their first road match of the year. Midfielder Zakiya Bywaters scored the Red Stars’ lone goal in the 61st minute on an assist from Lori Chalupny.
Smith wins Nationwide wreck-fest at Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. – Regan Smith won the crash-filled Nationwide Series race at Tal-
ladega Superspeedway when NASCAR said he was leading at the final caution flag Saturday. The race was delayed three hours by rain and slowed by several cautions, and NASCAR cut the distance by 10 laps as darkness closed in on the track. Then Joey Coulter brought out a caution and NASCAR decided to make one attempt at a greenwhite-checkered finish. At least 10 cars were jockeying for position in packs of two on the final lap when Brian Vickers was spun hard into the outside wall. Smith, Joey Logano and Kasey
Kahne raced three-wide to the finish line and Kahne crossed it first. But NASCAR decided Smith was leading when the caution came out and was the winner.
Edwards gets pole after rain washes out qualifying TALLADEGA, Ala. – Steady rain Saturday washed out qualifying at Talladega Superspeedway, where the field was set by practice speeds. It put Carl Edwards on the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race, followed by Martin Truex Jr. and Marcos Ambrose. They
ran a spirited Friday first practice session because everyone had seen the weather radar and knew the laps might count if qualifying was canceled. “It was like a heat race out there,” said Edwards. “Everybody was trying to get their fastest lap, and we got ours with like a minute to go.”
Mickelson, Watney tied for lead at Quail Hollow CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Phil Mickelson’s ball was just above the edge of the cart path, slightly below his feet, when he decided to hit a hard fade around the
trees toward the green. The shot went out-of-bounds and cost him the outright lead Saturday in the Wells Fargo Championship, and Mickelson was angry about his decision. He felt he should have hit driver instead of 3-wood. In the group ahead of him, new leader Nick Watney hit a semi-shank with a 6-iron on the par-3 17th, the ball flying toward a hospitality tent. He made double bogey, and pulled his cap over his face when the round was over to hide a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
Kerr shoots 66, takes lead at Kingsmill WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Twotime champion Cristie Kerr shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead over second-ranked Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen after the third round of the LPGA Tour’s Kingsmill Championship. Kerr, the only two-time winner at the River Course, made six birdies to reach 10-under 203. She took command on a day when seven players shared the lead at one point or another, then faltered or couldn’t keep pace. – Staff, wire reports

MIAMI HEAT
LeBron humbled by 4th MVP By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press MIAMI – Miami Heat practice had ended, and LeBron James lingered under a basket, fetching free throws for two teammates as he awaited his turn to shoot. At the other end of the gym, Dwyane Wade shook his head as he watched the NBA’s most valuable of players engage in the most mundane of drills. “He doesn’t – you can see him – rest on his greatness,” Wade said. “He continues to work at it. That’s what makes him special. He leaves nothing to chance.” The formal announcement of James’ fourth Most Valuable Player award is planned for Sunday, the eve of the Eastern Conference semifinals for the Heat. The honor will vault him into an elite category shared by Ka-

The Miami Heat’s LeBron James reacts to reporters’ questions after practice Saturday in Miami. reem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, the only other players to win the award at least four times. James said he was humbled to keep such company. “I’m a historian of the game,” he said. “I know the game. I know these guys paved the way for myself and the rest of us.” James’ other MVPs came in 2009, 2010 and 2012. He and
Russell are the only players to win the award four times in five years, and he and Abdul-Jabbar are the only players to twice win the award in consecutive seasons. At age 28, James isn’t resting on his laurels. That’s why he kept shooting with teammates Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers after practice Saturday, while the other Heat players had headed for the showers. “I don’t know my ceiling,” James said. “I don’t stop trying to improve my game – just like today, being in here with Rio and Ray, the last guys to leave the court. I want to continue to maximize what I have.” James said his primary goal remains helping the Heat win a second successive NBA title. They’re scheduled to open their conference semifinals series at home Monday against the Bulls.
Deng, Hinrich sit out Game 7 win • BULLS Continued from page C1 But they had a horrendous first-half defensive performance and Joe Johnson was bad all game on offense, finishing with six points on 2-of14 shooting, including 1 of 9 from 3-point range. With Luol Deng (illness) and Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf) out again and Derrick Rose still not ready to return from last year’s torn ACL, the Bulls leaned on Noah, who could barely play when the Bulls were blown out here two weeks ago in Game 1 because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He logged 41 minutes and shot 12 of 17 while also blocking six shots. “It’s disappointing. We won Game 6, we felt like this was our series, but they came out and played a great game,” Williams said. “Noah, like I said, he’s a warrior. He bat-
tled through his injuries and just had a monster game. We really had no answers for him down low tonight.” Noah helped the Bulls spoil the Nets’ first home Game 7 in their NBA history at the end of their first season in Brooklyn. They had played only one Game 7 in all their years while they were based in New Jersey, falling at Detroit in 2004. The Bulls improved to 1-6 in road Game 7s. Deng, tested for meningitis earlier in the week, was back in the hospital Friday night and unable to travel. Hinrich warmed up in hopes of playing before he was ruled out. It didn’t matter to the Bulls, who backed up Thibodeau’s vow that they would have no excuses and play well. Coming out ready to work, the Bulls got their first two baskets on offensive rebounds by Boozer and Noah, and they
led most of the first quarter before bringing a 29-25 lead to the second on Taj Gibson’s jumper with 0.8 seconds left. It was 40-36 before the Bulls took control with solid offensive execution and poor Nets defense. Noah had consecutive baskets before seldom-used Daequan Cook made a 3-pointer to cap an 11-2 run, and after a basket by Andray Blatche, Boozer, Nate Robinson and Noah ran off the next six points to give the Bulls a 57-40 lead as the crowd began to boo. “I think we weren’t as aggressive as they were, especially on the boards and the defensive end in the first half,” Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. The Bulls capped it with a stunningly easy dunk by Boozer with 1.2 seconds left off an inbounds pass, sending the Bulls to the locker room with a 61-44 advantage.

Harvard boys run to records, G-K title NORTHWEST HERALD
SOFTBALL Marengo Tournament: At
Jorge Pichardo and Harvard’s 4x800-meter relay team both set meet records Saturday at the Genoa-Kingston Invitational in Genoa. Harvard (189 points) won the eight-team meet. Pichardo, a junior, beat his nearest competitor in the 3,200 by more than a minute, finishing in 10:05.83. He also won the 1,600 (4:44.05), ahead of Harvard’s Pedro Guzman (4:45.80), who finished second. Guzman, Tim Wiltshire, Daniel Kirk and David Anaya set the pace in the record-setting 4x800 relay (8:45.41). Wiltshire also won the 800 meters (2:07.22), and Christian Kramer was first in the 400 meters (53.03). The 4x400 relay team of Zach Poliquin, Zach Martin, Irvin Pena and William Rockcastle also won (3:39.99).
Marengo, the Indians defeated Fenton in the first round, 8-0, but lost to Elk Grove in the second round, 13-9, in eight innings. In the championship round, Marengo beat Andrew, 4-1, to finish third in its own tournament. Abby Kissack pitched in all three games and struck out 14, allowed 16 hits and walked four in 17 innings. She picked up two wins. Megan Semro went 5 for 9 with a home run and a double on the day. Kissack and Taylor Carlson drove in all four runs with a home run apiece to earn a win in their final game of the day.

Crystal Lake South sophomore Hailee Massie pitches Monday at Cary-Grove. She got a mask after hearing about the injury to Cary-Grove pitcher Lindsay Efflandt and has been wearing it ever since.
No changes to bat regulations in near future • SAFETY Continued from page C1 What changed for Lagerhausen: He now requires all of his infielders to wear protective face masks. More McHenry County softball players were stirred to join in on the face mask movement after Cary-Grove’s Yalebound pitcher, Lindsay Efflandt, took a batted ball to the face April 22. Efflandt’s high school career was put on hold so she could mend a broken orbital bone, jaw bone and sinus wall. As high-performance bat technologies continue to push the pace of softball, attitudes toward infield safety equipment are relaxing despite a lack of action on the part of rule makers. Efflandt immediately took up the cause. “I’m not going back out there without [a mask],” the senior said. “I’m definitely an advocate for it now.”

Jockey Joel Rosario celebrates his first Kentucky Derby win Saturday, aboard Orb, in Louisville, Ky.
Trainer McGaughey’s Easy Goer 2nd in ’89 • DERBY Continued from page C1 McGaughey, a 62-year-old native of Lexington, Ky., finally got the Derby win he had long sought. Orb was only his second starter since 1989, when he settled for second after Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer on a muddy track. “It means everything to me,” the Hall of Famer said. ‘I’ve always dreamed of this day and it finally came.” The rain that pelted the track earlier in the day had stopped by the time 19 horses paraded to the post for the 139th Derby. But it created a gloppy surface, although didn’t seem to bother Orb, who had never previously run on a wet track. His triumph was a victory for the old school of racing, where a private trainer like McGaughey works exclusively for wealthy owners, in this case Stuart Janney and Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps. The first cousins, among the sport’s blue bloods that include the old-money Whitney and Vanderbilt families, also got their first gold Derby trophy. Golden Soul was second. Revolutionary, one of trainer Todd Pletcher’s five starters, was third. Normandy Invasion finished fourth. Orb paid $12.80, $7.40 and $5.40. Golden Soul returned $38.60 and $19.40, while Revolutionary paid $5.40 to show. History was denied on several fronts: • Todd Pletcher’s Derby record fell to 1 for 36 after sending out a record-tying five horses for the second time in his career. Besides Revolutionary, Charming Kitten was ninth; Overanalyze was 11th; early pacesetter Palace Malice was 12th;
Derby finish The order of finish for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby: 1. Orb 2. Golden Soul 3. Revolutionary 4. Normandy Invasion 5. Mylute 6. Oxbow 7. Lines of Battle 8. Will Take Charge 9. Charming Kitten 10. Giant Finish 11. Overanalyze 12. Palace Malice 13. Java’s War 14. Verrazano 15. Itsmyluckyday 16. Frac Daddy 17. Goldencents 18. Vyjack 19. Falling Sky and previously unbeaten Verrazano was 14th. • Rosie Napravnik’s bid to become the first woman jockey to win ended with a fifth-place finish aboard Mylute. It was still the highest finish by a woman rider, bettering her ninth-place showing two years ago. • Kevin Krigger failed in his attempt to be the first black jockey to win since 1902. He rode Goldencents to a 17th-place finish for trainer Doug O’Neill, who won last year with I’ll Have Another. Rick Pitino owns 5 percent of the colt, who couldn’t deliver a horses/hoops double for the coach of the national champion Louisville basketball team. • D. Wayne Lukas missed out on becoming the oldest trainer to win at 77. He saddled two horses: Oxbow was sixth with 50-year-old Gary Stevens making a Derby comeback after seven years in retirement, and Will Take Charge was eighth.
Alyssa Lach was there when the changes started in youth softball. “When I first started playing, it was a mix of composite and aluminum bats, and I’ve seen bats banned because the ball comes off so fast,” Lach said. “They’ve definitely changed.” The third baseman, a junior at Jacobs who has committed to play softball for Division-I Butler, now uses the $300 Demarini CF5 composite bat, which has helped her hit six home runs this season. “They have a bigger sweet spot, so if you hit it, you’re going to hit it hard,” Lach said. Composite bats first broke into softball and baseball in the early 2000s and immediately caused a stir because of the explosive power created by the trampoline effect of their layered fibers. Within the last few years, they have become more available and prevalent for younger players. The Amateur Softball Association of America set out to regulate the use of these bats and set a standard for a 98mph batted-ball speed in 2004 that still is in use today. Those standards are relied on by the IHSA and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), which sets the rules for most IHSA sports and for most high school sports in all 50 states. “The NFHS has a unique relationship with softball in that the NFHS and the ASA and the NCAA all work together to come up with certified equipment,” said Matt Troha, the IHSA administrator for softball. “From a bats standard, as long as a bat meets ASA certification, and has that stamp on it, then it’s legal.” This means that the IHSA, like other state associations, has no control over bat standards used in their games. The ASA has certified as legal 495 composite bat models from 26 manufacturers. And while the ASA tests all the bats it certifies for batted-ball speed, continuing advancements in lightweight technologies, stiffer materials and balance continue to assist hitters. “In the first few years, very seldom did I see home runs,” 17th-year Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck said. “But now they just pop off the bat. The ball just simply did not fly like it does now.” The wearing-in process is not unique to composite bats, but has been shown to be pronounced in increasing batted-ball speeds for composites. The 2004 ASA standard accounts for a natural wear-in process, but it doesn’t account for what the ASA has termed illegal doctoring, in which bats can become even more dangerously explosive through various illegal forms of tampering. A study completed by a master’s student at Washington State University found that such bats could reach batted-ball speeds of 105 mph. Troha admitted difficulties in detecting these illegal bats. “[Doctored bats] can be difficult to detect, but we encourage umpires to look for dents, cracks, cuts, worn or missing certification stickers, marks or anything that could indicate a bat may have been cut open or adjusted,” he said. Starting with the 2011 season, the
NFHS switched to a BBCOR standard for baseball bats, which called for more uniform testing and less explosiveness in that sport, but softball has yet to follow suit. “I don’t think that it would change the game that much [to implement lower speeds],” Lagerhausen said. “But I have some big hitters on my team, and they love it.” Troha doesn’t see changes coming any time soon. “As technology has progressed, they’ve gotten better at being able to really test the bats, and figure out how lively it is,” he said. “But I think they still feel comfortable with where we’re at right now with the bats, so I don’t foresee anything as significant as what they did in baseball on the near horizon.” Instead, for the 2009 season, the IHSA assisted batters by immediately adopting the NFHS’ new 43-foot circle distance that gave batters 3 extra feet to see pitches. “It will increase offense and get the defense more involved in the game, but more importantly it has the potential to improve safety for the pitchers,” IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said in a news release. “When you consider the safety factor, there really wasn’t a logical reason to wait a year to move the pitching distance.” Given the 43-foot distance from home plate, 98-mph batted-ball speeds and batters that now train year-round in the quest for a Division-I scholarship, pitchers now have less time than ever to react to a batted ball. Alden-Hebron encountered a situation recently in which one of its hitters injured the opposing pitcher without even swinging. “All she did was touch the ball, and it drilled the pitcher right in the wrist,” Lagerhausen said. “The pitcher went to the emergency room with a sprained wrist. She had no time to move or react.”
MASKS NOT JUST FOR CATCHERS ANYMORE When Crystal Lake South pitcher Heather Eck stepped into the circle April 25 for a start against Johnsburg, three days after Efflandt went down with her gruesome injury, she was wearing a face mask for the first time in her softball career. It helped her escape injury. “I took a line drive to the shoulder and it [bounced] off my shoulder and into my face mask,” Eck said. “It was kind of scary, but I’m really glad that I was wearing the mask.” The senior’s parents bought her a mask after encouragement from her coach, Scott Busam, on the day of Efflandt’s injury. “At first, I was against wearing face masks,” Eck said. “I thought they were a distraction and not for me.” Word was spreading. Crystal Lake South pitcher Hailee Massie’s dad was umpiring Efflandt’s fateful game. “My mom and I were out to dinner, and my dad called her, and told her what had happened,” Massie said. “We were all shaken up, and I went out right away to get a mask.” Without hesitation, the sophomore thrower has worn it every game since. “I tried a couple of different masks, and with some it was kind of hard to see,” Massie said. “But the metal one I got is comfortable.” Efflandt’s replacement in that game and in the circle since, sophomore Lauren Stanley, had only sometimes worn a mask before her teammate went down. That ended then. “Sometimes in travel [softball] I [wore a mask], but when that happened to Lindsay, I’m always going to wear it now,” Stanley said. “Better safe than sorry.” Efflandt herself had worried that wearing a face mask would limit recruitment opportunities. “Some college coaches won’t recruit pitchers who wear masks because they think they’re scared of the ball, and I think that’s ridiculous,” Efflandt said. “My Yale coaches definitely don’t [care]. I’ll wear a mask in college. I don’t care if I get grief for it.”
But college coach and recruiter Michelle Venturella, a former member of the U.S. national softball team and a gold medalist at the 2000 summer Olympics, says masks don’t figure into her recruiting process. “Honestly, if I was watching a kid throw 65 miles per hour and she wore a mask, I wouldn’t care,” Venturella, who heads the softball program at the University of Illinois-Chicago said. “The thing is, can you get the job done? It’s a piece of equipment, and I wouldn’t hold it against a kid.” Venturella thinks times and attitudes are warming to the idea of increased mask use because of the composite bats. “I wish our sport wasn’t at the point where we needed to [change],” Venturella said. “I would hope that there’s going to be a way to control how hot the bats are. ... I understand and I think we’ll see more [infield masks].” Gina Billy has seen the change in mask attitudes firsthand. She played varsity softball for Prairie Ridge from in 2001, and now she’s the hardlines manager at the Sports Authority on Cog Circle in Crystal Lake. “Oh, definitely,” Billy said of mask sales over the past few months. “I even wrote to our district manager because we couldn’t keep them in stock.” On Thursday, her store’s supply of SKLZ full-face softball fielder shields, which the store sells for $39.99, were thinning. “The problem is that we’re selling all the smalls and mediums,” Billy said. “All I have left are the larges, so it’s the younger girls that are getting them.” Venturella admitted that infield masks are rarely seen at the Division-I level, despite the same 43-foot pitching distance, but she understands the value. “I had a situation actually where a former pitcher of mine was hit when I was coaching at the University of Iowa ... and it was a huge injury,” she said. “So I understand why that if something happened in the past, of course you might want to prevent that from happening in the future.”
MANDATING A SOLUTION While some youth leagues have begun mandating face masks for infielders, the NFHS, the NCAA, the ASA and the IHSA have not. “To be honest, I don’t hear a lot about it,” the IHSA’s Troha said. “Occasionally where you have an instance where a girl gets hit, people come out and tend to make that case that we need to do something else or make the pitching masks mandatory. Honestly, I hear very little about it day to day.” Prairie Ridge pitcher Kirsten Stevens, whose batted ball struck Efflandt’s face, still takes the field without a mask. “It’s a personal choice,” Stevens’ coach, Buck, said. “I almost liken it to wearing a helmet for a bicycle or motorcycle.” But Hayli Lagerhausen wishes that on April 27, 2009, somebody had told her to wear a mask when her fateful pitch, which was supposed to be inside, missed its mark and instead went right down the middle. South Beloit’s batter took advantage. Hayli froze. “I remember it coming at me,” Hayli said. “I’m standing there wondering, ‘why aren’t you moving?’ ” She didn’t black out when the ball struck her face, but flipped over backwards and fell face first on the ground. Her father was immediately at her side. “He said that he was out in the circle before I even hit the ground,” Hayli said. After four hours in the emergency room, and several frustrating visits to plastic surgeons, Hayli waited out the injury as it healed itself. But her father in that instant became an outspoken supporter of masks as long as there are composite bats in softball. “Everybody’s wrapped up on no steroids, no steroids, no steroids, but you allow these girls to use bats that are on steroids,” he said. “So if they were to take these bats and tone them down – take them off steroids – don’t make them quite so explosive – then there would be no need for the masks.”

GAME 3: BLACKHAWKS AT WILD, 2 P.M. SUNDAY, NBC, AM-720
Underdog Wild hope to rally By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. – NHL hockey was absent from Minnesota for seven years, and the upstart Wild stumbled through two rough seasons in their debut. Then came 2003, when the fervor of a playoff run came roaring back to a state that’s as tied to the sport as any other in the nation. “It was a magical time to be playing here in Minnesota,” said former Wild left wing Andrew Brunette, “and I think about that group all the time.” This Wild team, exactly a decade later, would love to be able to do what Brunette’s did, reaching the Western Conference finals as the sixth seed that year after winning three elimination games in each of their first two series. Just as in 2003, the Wild are facing a heavy favorite right away. The Blackhawk s, who breezed through this condensed season with an NHL-best 36-7-5 record, already have a 2-0 lead in this
Western Conference quarterfinals Hawks 2, Minnesota 0 Tuesday: Hawks 2, Minnesota 1, OT Friday: Hawks 5, Minnesota 2 Sunday: Hawks at Minnesota, 2 p.m. Tuesday: Hawks at Minnesota, 9:30 p.m. x-Thursday, May 9: Minnesota at Hawks, TBD x-Saturday, May 11: Hawks at Minnesota, TBD x-Sunday, May 12: Hawks at Hawks, TBD first-round series over the eighth-seeded Wild. Minnesota is back on home ice for Game 3 on Sunday. The Xcel Energy Center is sure to be buzzing, though the standard for arena atmosphere was set in 2003. The Wild beat Colorado and Vancouver before losing steam and falling to Anaheim. With savvy coach Jacques Lemaire leading on the bench, gritty guys like Brunette, Wes Walz and Sergei
Zholtok supporting budding star Marian Gaborik up front, and a stingy defense helping Dwayne Roloson and Manny Fernandez thrive in the net, the Wild became the surprise story of the league that spring. Playing a pesky, conservative, fundamentally sound system under Lemaire was a big reason for their success. So was chemistry. Zholtok reminded Brunette of that when a bunch of teammates gathered the following summer, in 2004, at Darby Hendrickson’s cabin. That was the last time Brunette saw Zholtok alive. Zholtok died of a heart problem during a game overseas a few weeks later. “It was as close-knit of a team as you’ll ever play with,” Brunette said. The bond to each other and the franchise is still apparent. Brunette and Brad Bombardir work in the front office. Hendrickson is an assistant coach. Walz is a television analyst. PierreMarc Bouchard is the only player who remains on the roster from 2003.
NHL PLAYOFF ROUNDUP
Capitals take 2-0 lead on Rangers The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Henrik Lundqvist and Braden Holtby kicked, swiped, caught and otherwise kept getting in the way of the puck, matching each other save-for-save for a second shy of 68 minutes, until Mike Green scored the power-play goal in overtime that gave the Washington Capitals a sweep at home to open their playoff series against the New York Rangers. Green nailed a one-timer from high in the slot on a feed from Mike Ribeiro precisely at the eight-minute mark of the
extra period, Holtby made 24 saves for his first career playoff shutout, and the Capitals beat the Rangers, 1-0, Saturday to take a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Maple Leafs 4, Bruins 2: At Boston, Joffrey Lupul scored two goals and Toronto got a win over Boston that evened the first-round series at one game. The Maple Leafs played aggressively from the start after a weak performance in a 4-1 loss in which the Bruins were much more physical. But that changed early in Game 2 as Toronto delivered 22 hits in the first period to just 10
for Boston.
Ducks 4, Red Wings 0: At Detroit, Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim on a second-period power play – 18 seconds after Detroit’s Justin Abdelkader was ejected for a violent hit on Toni Lydman – and the Ducks went on to a victory to take a 2-1 series lead over the Red Wings in the Western Conference playoffs. Abdelkader appeared to catch Lydman square in the side of the head with his left shoulder, and he was given a major penalty for charging and a game misconduct with 4:49 remaining in the second.

CUBS NOTES
Barney’s hitting concerns Cubs’ manager By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

Cubs relief pitcher Carlos Marmol reacts Saturday after he walked the Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto in the eighth inning at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 6-4.
REDS 6, CUBS 4
Another Marmol meltdown costs Cubs CHICAGO – Reliever Carlos Marmol stood in front of his locker in the Cubs’ clubhouse trying to explain another outing that quickly turned bad. Marmol didn’t delve into a deep discussion as to why he again couldn’t locate his fastball or slider in the strike zone Saturday against the Reds. For Marmol, it simply came down to an inability to throw a strike. Marmol faced only three batters, but it was enough to load the bases and ultimately led to a four-run eighth inning in the Reds’ 6-4 comeback win. “He’s not executing,” manager Dale Sveum said. “He’s not throwing the ball over the plate. It doesn’t matter what pitch is called.” Marmol, who took the loss, walked two batters to start the inning – he threw four consecutive balls to Zack Cozart to lead it off – and then hit Brandon Phillips on a 1-2 pitch to load the bases. Sveum had seen enough of Marmol at that point and yanked him from the game. A majority of the 36,455 fans at Wrigley Field booed Marmol as he walked to the dugout. “I go out there and give 100 percent,” Marmol said after the game. “I don’t think anything bad’s going to happen. I don’t think I’m going to walk people.” Asked if Marmol, who makes $9.8 million in the final year of his deal, is a lost cause at this point, Sveum hesitated. “He’s still got stuff, so I’m not jumping to any conclusions,” Sveum said. “It gets tough to have any confidence in him.” Sveum didn’t specify what situations Marmol will pitch in going forward, only that one way or another “he’s got to get fixed.” It’s difficult to envision Marmol being used in a crucial situation any time soon. While he hadn’t allowed a run in his previous 10 outings entering Saturday’s game, Marmol had given up five hits and walked eight in those appearances. After Saturday’s debacle, Marmol owns a 6.17 ERA and has walked 12 and hit three batters in 11⅔ innings. “Any pitcher would appreciate that any time you walk two guys and hit one when you get a chance to get out of there,” Marmol said. “But it [stinks] because you get yourself in trouble without anybody else.” Marmol has caught plenty of flak for his bouts of wildness during his eight-year career with the Cubs. However, despite the struggles he has endured the past two seasons in particular, Marmol became the
CHICAGO – Second baseman Darwin Barney’s dedication to improving his game doesn’t go unnoticed by his teammates or coaches. But Cubs manager Dale Sveum suggested before Saturday’s 6-4 loss to the Reds that Barney might be tinkering too much with his swing. Barney went 0 for 3 in the loss dropping his average to .169. Sveum said he worked with Barney during spring training to develop a good approach and fix his mechanics, but he “kind of abandoned it.” “I think he needs to try and stick with one thing and go with that,” Sveum said. “There’s a lot of changing going on every single day.” Barney’s struggles partially stem from an inability to consistently hit fastballs, which Sveum considers the No. 1 thing a hitter must do in
INSIDE THE CUBS Meghan Montemurro Cubs’ all-time leader in relief appearances against the Reds. Marmol passed Lee Smith with his 453rd relief outing. Before the game, Marmol said reaching that milestone would be amazing and makes him proud. But now, his record appearance encapsulates what has always been Marmol’s downfall: a propensity to throw the ball, not pitch. This time it cost starter Jeff Samardzija his first win since Opening Day. “It’s out of your hands at that point,” said Samardzija, who surrendered two runs in six innings. “If you don’t want that to happen, pitch deeper into the game … be more efficient with your pitches.” At some point, Sveum will call on Marmol because he really doesn’t have many better options in the bullpen. Right-hander Shawn Camp, coming off a career-high and league-leading 80 appearances last season, has been nearly as unreliable as Marmol. Camp owns a 7.15 ERA, having allowed nine runs in 11⅓ innings. Michael Bowden, Hector Rondon and Kameron Loe are primarily used when the Cubs are losing while James Russell, their most consistent pitcher, is the only left-hander in the bullpen, which makes it difficult to save him for late in the game. That leaves Kevin Gregg as the only other late-inning choice until Kyuji Fujikawa returns from the disabled list. The Cubs’ hodge-podge bullpen can take the brunt of the blame for their nine losses in games they led at some point. Sveum deserves some of the blame, too, for believing Marmol could work out of the trouble he found himself in during the eighth inning Saturday. But Sveum often has one bad option after another in a bullpen that can’t seem to give the Cubs a chance to win. “It’s happened too many times, not [just] to him but the whole team,” outfielder Alfonso Soriano said. “Sometimes we’re not getting the big hit, and sometimes we’re not getting the big out. That’s the difference in a first-place team and a last-place team.”
order to be successful. “He’s been good lately laying off pitches and getting his walks, but we all know there’s that fine line,” Sveum said. “Then balls get too deep and you’re 0-2 Darwin Barney and had two really good pitches to hit.”
Soriano’s big day: Alfonso Soriano needed only two atbats Saturday against the Alfonso Reds to match Soriano his offensive production this season. Soriano hit two two-run homers in the first and third innings off Reds lefty Tony Cingrani to give the Cubs a 4-2 lead. Soriano’s four-RBI game surpassed the three RBIs he had in the previous 28 games

Navarro is hitting .077 (2 for 26) in seven games as the starting catcher. Sveum said it’s “kind of weird” how well Navarro has hit when entering the game off the bench but not during starts. “Starters,” Sveum said, “since they have four pitches, sometimes you get caught [thinking], ‘OK he might throw this way, he might throw that one,’ and off the bench you’re geared up for the fastball, and what happens, happens.”

White Sox batter Alejandro De Aza falls to the ground after fouling off the ball on his leg in the seventh inning Saturday against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. When you’ve got a guy with that many pitches and he locates his fastball, you can’t go guessing on a guy like that. He’s good.” Guthrie is 9-0 in his un-
beaten streak, which started against the Sox on Aug. 8, 2012. Left-hander Paul Splittorff held the Royals’ record with 16 straight undefeated starts in 1977-78.
“He’s been tough on us,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “First, because he’s good. He was throwing it in and throwing it out. His offspeed was keeping us off balance. He seems to pick it up when we’re facing him. “They’ve got good defense, too. There were a couple of little rollers and difficult kinds of plays, and they made them. He was (Greg) Maddux-like, going for the twohour mark. You have to pick your poison, you go after him early and then you pop it up. He’s tough.” It was Guthrie’s first shut-

out and fifth complete-game. Three of his previous complete games were eight-inning losses. His only previous complete-game victory came Aug. 8, 2008, for Baltimore at Seattle. Paul Konerko singled in the second and doubled in the fourth for the only Sox hits until the eighth inning. Tyler Flowers and Alejandro De Aza singled in the eighth, but Jeff Keppinger’s grounder to shortstop Alcides Escobar ended the inning. Guthrie (4-0) threw 11 or fewer pitches in every inning except the fourth and eighth, when he threw 21 apiece. Dylan Axelrod (0-1) nearly matched Guthrie, but yielded a two-run triple to Lorenzo Cain in the first inning. Cain’s triple to the right-field corner scored Billy Butler, who was hit by a pitch, and Eric Hosmer, who singled for the first of his three hits.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The White Sox haven’t figured out how to hit Jeremy Guthrie. They’re not alone. Guthrie ran his unbeaten streak to a club-record 17 consecutive starts with a four-hitter in the Royals’ 2-0 victory over the Sox on Saturday. Guthrie is 3-0 with a 0.40 ERA in six starts with the Royals against the Sox, allowing two earned runs and 30 hits in 44⅔ innings. “He’s been doing it almost a year now,” Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn said. “He makes very few mistakes, and when he did make a mistake we obviously didn’t do anything with them. We were trying to get to him early. Obviously we didn’t do it. He’s in a groove right now.

Centegra launches new EMR
“More and more players are using Golfdotz on tour. We’ve had a winner on almost every tour.” David Poole, Golfdotz creator
Emergency fund creates sense of peace Dear Dave, I’m following your plan, and currently I have $14,000 in my emergency fund. What are essentials for three to six months of expenses?
– Brian
Dear Brian, Basically, you should ask yourself this question: What would it take to operate my household for a month? There are several different things that could be classified as “essentials,” but if you take those things and multiply the number by three, four, five or six, you’ll see how much money you need to have a fully loaded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses. This is Baby Step 3 in my plan. Some people get really technical about exactly how many months of expenses they need to save in this range. And that’s OK. You can take a little time to evaluate things before moving on to Baby Step 4, which is investing 15 percent of your household income into Roth IRAs and other pre-tax retirement plans. Believe me, it’s a great feeling to have a big pile of cash sitting there just for a rainy day. You don’t want to go nuts and make it so big that you sacrifice retirement or other important aspects of your life, but after a point you shouldn’t be too concerned whether you have three months or six months of expenses – or somewhere in between – saved just for emergencies. Having a nice emergency fund, along with no debt, creates a wonderful sense of financial peace!

Dear Dave, If a wife takes out a credit card in her husband’s name without his knowledge, and they get divorced, can the husband claim identity theft?
– Nancy
Dear Nancy, Absolutely! Unless they have power of attorney, anytime someone opens an account in a name other than their own, they have stolen an identity. Being married to someone doesn’t give you the right to sign their name to a document. You cannot legally sign your spouse’s name without first having power of attorney privileges. If you do, it’s called identity theft. It’s a crime anytime you lie to get money.
– Dave
Dear Dave, My daughter has the opportunity to take a trip with her eighth-grade class. The cost is $650. Do you think she should have to contribute to the cost of the trip, or should I cover it all?
– Colleen
Dear Colleen, This is a really good question. When it came to making these kinds of decisions at our house, we’d take a look at whether the kid was behaving, getting good grades and stuff like that. It can be a challenge at that age, I know. But if they were living like responsible young people, we would pay for this sort of thing as a reward. Still, at that age a kid should definitely have some skin in game. If you can pay for this without breaking the bank, and she’s fulfilling her responsibilities as a good kid, it would be a good idea to make her come up with her own spending money for the trip. You don’t want her to grow a sense of entitlement, and doing this would force her to work and save a little bit to make this thing happen!

Golfdotz creator David Poole discusses the product in his Transfer Studios office in Cary. Since 2008, Poole has introduced Golfdotz to players all around the world through conventions and by handing out samples.
Connect the dotz Cary entrepreneur puts his mark on golf By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com CARY – After stints in the corporate world and professional motor racing, a Cary entrepreneur is betting he can make his mark on your golf ball. David Poole, 50, created transferable ink tattoos, called Golfdotz, that allow golfers to quickly mark balls with more than 100 different designs – from shamrocks to scorpions to American flags. Though the business is profitable, Poole has struggled to get retail space for the product. Poole’s company, Transfer Studios, is making a big push into the European market next month by distributing 96,000 packs of Golfdotz through United Kingdombased magazine Golf Monthly. Poole, a native of England, also wants to find wider distribution here. He recently auditioned for ABC’s “Shark Tank,” but didn’t make the cut to pitch his product to potential investors on the TV program. The idea for Golfdotz came about six years ago while Poole was trying to make a similar product to customize soccer cleats. “I was actually quite a long way down that road when I had a flash of inspiration,” he said. “I put it on a golf ball and took it out to the garden and beat it around. Then I took it to a golfer – because I’m not exactly the best person to test it because I lose too many golf balls.” The golfer was impressed and asked what other designs Poole could make. So instead of taking his product to a soccer convention in Los Angeles, he decided at the last minute to pitch it to golfers at a PGA show in Orlando, Fla.

Golfdotz are transferable ink “tattoos” that bond with the skin of the ball in seconds when firm pressure is applied.
Golfdotz What: Golfdotz are transferable ink “tattoos” that bond with the skin of the ball in seconds when firm pressure is applied. It’s an alternative to ball marking methods such as pens, stencils, and ball stampers. It has been approved by the USGA and R&A and is in use on all major professional tours. Where: 176 Detroit St., Unit 18, Cary Information: Call 847-829-4238 or visit www.golfdotz.com “I had 13 or 14 weeks until the show and I had nothing,” he said. “I had no product name, no market research, no approval from [golf’s governing body].” Poole and his wife, Sonia, decided to wing it. Walking past displays from
Nike and TaylorMade at what’s billed as golf’s biggest product showcase, they realized how much competition they faced. “I got to our little booth and just figured ‘I’m soon going to know if the people think what I do is totally rubbish or not,’” he said. “The first 15 minutes it was really quiet ... and then suddenly it just all went completely crazy. People really loved the idea.” Since 2008, Poole has introduced Golfdotz to players all around the world through conventions and by handing out samples to professionals. Rory Sabbatini, who has six PGA Tour victories, called Golfdotz “the most unique and interesting method of identifying a golf ball I’ve seen.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Centegra Health System will launch its new Electronic Medical Record Monday to enhance and streamline care for patients in the communities it serves. “The transition to the new EMR will improve the quality of care we provide and enhance patient safety,” said David Tomlinson, senior vice president and chief information officer. “It will increase communication throughout our interdisciplinary teams and help our associates create more efficient workflows.” The EMR is the result of more than a year of intense preparation by hundreds of Centegra associates. Representatives of every clinical area have provided in-depth expertise to develop the EMR and ensure it is designed to optimize patient care. “We trained subject matter experts from each patient care area and throughout Centegra who then trained their colleagues about this system,” said Judy Andronowitz, director of information technology. “They have tailored the EMR to their own specific needs to improve their processes. Our patients will greatly benefit from the tremendous efforts of our associates.” Nurses, physicians and other highly skilled clinicians will now be able to chart at the patient bedside. Patients will benefit because their most current medical information will be in real time and always at their caregivers’ fingertips. “The implementation of our new EMR takes the care we provide to the next level,” Andronowitz said. “It will also improve clinical workflows in the future because our caregivers will not have to input duplicative information as the patient moves from one hospital clinical setting to another.” All affected Centegra associates have received EMR training. Patients who are at the hospital during the first weeks of the EMR will also see posters asking them to be patient as the new system is rolled out. “We expect to have a smooth transition as we implement the new EMR, however there may be moments when associates or physicians have questions about the system,” Tomlinson said. “We ask our patients to understand that we will make every effort to provide their care in a timely and efficient way. This new hospital information system ultimately provides many benefits to our community. This is an exciting time for Centegra Health System and for patients throughout the regions we serve.”

Regular exercise linked to success in life
Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com
David Poole demonstrates how a Golfdotz “tattoo” is applied on a ball.
• GOLFDOTZ Continued from D1 Golfdotz sell for $5.99 for a pack of 32. They aren’t stickers. The ink designs form to the skin of the ball and don’t affect the flight or roll of the ball. They can be purchased online and in some pro shops and other golf retailers around the world. A quarter of sales come through the company’s website, www.golfdotz. com. Poole has refined the product and its packaging in a small manufacturing facility he set up in an industrial park in Cary. Both Poole and his wife, who is from Portugal, became U.S. citizens last year and proudly advertise Golfdotz as American-made. They live in Cary with their two children. At first Golfdotz was a side project. Poole worked as a manager in IndyCar with driver Hideki Mutoh (Danica Patrick’s partner) from 2008-10 while the business was growing. In 2011, he turned to Golfdotz full time. “Our product was picking up enough, so I said ‘I’m just going to make a commitment and go all-in on this,’” Poole said. “I went from pit lane to the putting green.” He got a representative on the LPGA tour and athletes started using the ball markers and sharing them with colleagues. “More and more players are using Golfdotz on tour,” Poole said. “We’ve had a winner on almost every tour.” Even so, Poole said he’d like to get Michael Jordan or another big-name celebrity to use and promote Golfdotz. Though they got a bank loan to purchase some of the equipment used to make Golfdotz, the Pooles have largely funded the venture on their own. They declined to say how much they had personally invested. “I’ve always taken risks,” he said. “I look at this as an opportunity.” Though sales continue to grow, the company remains “a total minnow” in the golf industry’s $25 billion consumer market. “We’re at the start of what we could be,” Poole said. “We don’t have the money to buy the eyeballs of the people who need to see this product. Our sales grow, people love it, we get fantastic comments, testimonials are great, more and more players are using it, but until people can walk into a major department store and ask for Golfdotz because they know what it is, we’re somewhat limited.” Poole thought he had a deal with a national sporting goods store, but when the company’s buyer changed, the order was canceled. Poole was stuck with boxes of Golfdotz and no buyer. Even so, he hasn’t given up on big retail chains. His next step is to start pushing the product into smaller outlets, such as pro shops in McHenry County and throughout Illinois. A new website, already in the works, should help boost online sales. Poole said he hopes to eventually crack into the national retail market or partner with a larger manufacturer. In the meantime, he’s already working on ideas for another new product.
It should be no surprise to hear that exercise is the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. With the help of a balanced diet, exercise can help you achieve personal fitness goals, whether you want to lose those extra pounds before swimsuit season or get the six-pack abs you’ve always wanted. But, the list of positive benefits doesn’t stop with physical fitness. Regular exercise can also provide psychological benefits such as: • Improved mood • Higher self-esteem • Enhanced brain function • Reduced mental fatigue • Diminished anxiety These are all very good reasons to stop reading this article and head to
Finance Mike Piershale the gym. If they are not motivation enough, then consider this: Regular exercise has been linked to higher salaries. According to a study published in the Journal of Labor Research, employees who exercise regularly (at least three hours each week) earn 9 percent more, on average, than employees who don’t. Previous studies tried to confirm the relationship between exercise and income, but proved merely that regular exercise was correlated to
a higher salary. Vasilios Kosteas of Cleveland State University used “propensity-score matching’” to compare employees with similar work ethics and backgrounds (health history, education, experience, etc.). When exercise was the only independent variable, Kosteas found that people who exercise regularly earned 9 percent more, on average, than those who didn’t exercise. The study also found that employees who didn’t have a history of healthy behavior saw an increase in productivity after starting a regular exercise routine, and they often got a raise. Of course, as with many things, individual results will vary. Irrespective of higher earning potential, one
thing is for certain: Exercise has been linked to many positive effects on the human body and mind, so do yourself a favor and start working out regularly. If it doesn’t show in your paycheck, it may provide benefits in the form of lower health-care bills and increased longevity. So get out there and exercise!

It’s time to take an assessment of the risk level in your portfolio By MARK JEWELL AP Personal Finance Writer BOSTON – The stock market is in a groove. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has climbed six months in a row and finished April at another record high. So far this year the index is up roughly 12 percent. That sounds good, right? A qualified “yes” might be the best answer. Consider that the past three years in a row, stocks began to tumble in May, and rallies turned into routs by mid-summer. That recent history doesn’t necessarily suggest another market decline is around the corner, but some flash points that triggered the previous routs are still with us. The global economy can’t seem to break out of its slow-growth mode. Europe’s debt troubles have merely eased. The same can be said about U.S. fiscal policy gridlock. This all means it’s an opportune time to review the risk level in your portfolio. For starters, consider whether you’ve got an appropriate mix of stocks, bonds and other investments to meet your savings goals. Then examine the potential consequences for your immediate and long-term finances if stock prices tumble, and whether you’d have the fortitude to stay invested for an eventual recovery. Another important step is checking the volatility of any mutual funds you own. There are a half-dozen or so commonly used tools to measure how much a fund’s past performance varied from an index, or from peers investing in the same segment of the market. The problem is there’s no single measure that’s universally considered the best for assessing risk. And average investors often end up frustrated at the complexity of the various tools. Unless they take time to learn about the measures, their research may end up creating more confusion and uncertainty than actually placating them, says Cliff Caplan, a certified financial planner at Neponset Valley Financial Partners in Norwood, Mass. Few are interested in discussing statistical measures: “Unless you get a client who’s an engineer, or some other analytical type, you’re not going to
talk about Sharpe ratios,” Caplan says. “They just want to know that I’m taking measures to mitigate risk.” Yet investors can benefit if they know how to use these tools. Here’s a look at 6 measures and their strengths and weaknesses:
1. BETA Beta measures a mutual fund’s risk level relative to the market over a given period, typically the past three years, as with most fund volatility measures. A fund with a beta of 1.0 has generated returns that are as volatile as the market. A beta of 0.80, for example, means the fund is less volatile — it gained or lost 8 percent during a period when the market moved 10 percent. A risk-averse investor might find a “low beta” fund appealing. Beta is useful only if paired with other volatility measures. That’s because it doesn’t indicate if stock prices were rising or falling when the fund’s performance was deemed less volatile. The critical factor is whether the fund limited losses during market declines. How many investors complain about a fund that outperforms in a rally? “Investors don’t care much about relative volatility,” says Shannon Zimmerman, a Morningstar fund analyst. “They care whether they lost money, and how much. That’s why volatility does not equal risk.”
2. STANDARD DEVIATION A measure of how widely a fund’s returns have varied compared with the market. For example, the standard deviation of the S&P 500 over the past 3-year period has been 15.01, and 18.8 over five years, according to Morningstar. Funds with figures below those numbers have been less volatile, and those above more volatile. Standard deviation is useful to help predict the range of returns to expect based on a fund’s past results. High deviation suggests it may be a relatively bumpy ride.
3. SHARPE RATIO This number is the product of a formula incorporating standard deviation. But it also factors in above- or belowmarket returns to show whether investors have been rewarded for the level of risk taken. A Sharpe ratio is often close to 1.0, say 0.9 or 1.1. The higher the number, the stronger the fund’s performance
has been relative to the risk taken.
4. SORTINO RATIO This less widely known refinement of the Sharpe ratio is one of Zimmerman’s and Caplan’s favorites because it focuses on a fund’s volatility when stocks fall. As a result, it measures a fund’s success in limiting losses, unlike Sharpe, which also measures volatility when stocks rise.
5. UPSIDE AND DOWNSIDE CAPTURE RATIOS These measures indicate what percentage of the market’s gains or losses a fund was able to capture. For example, a fund might have moderately underperformed during rallies by matching 95 percent of the gains. But if that fund’s losses were just 75 percent as steep as the market’s declines, the fund probably outperformed the market over an extended period. Such downside protection can be critical because of the realities of recovery math. If a fund loses 50 percent, it will need to subsequently post a 100 percent gain — not 50 percent — to get investors back to where they started.
6. MORNINGSTAR RISK AND STAR RATINGS On Morningstar.com, the most widely used fund research site, click on a fund’s “risk & ratings statistics” tab for details. These include Morningstar’s risk rating, which incorporates various volatility measures to generate an overall assessment of a fund. The five-level scale runs from low to high. It’s among the factors Morningstar uses to assign star ratings, which measure past performance while factoring in the risks taken to achieve returns. Some risk measures on individual funds can be found on fund company websites. But an investor may have to look elsewhere to compare a fund’s volatility with a market index or the fund’s peers over comparable periods. Independent sites like Morningstar’s are often better on this count. In the end, Zimmerman says, it’s important for investors to consider a variety of tools to provide an overall picture. “All of these are good, useful measures,” he says. “But you have to consider them in tandem, not individually.”

Rules for hiring students Many companies supplement their staffs in the summer by hiring high school students. If you plan to hire youths this summer, there are rules to keep in mind. The U.S. Department of Labor has the responsibility to set and administer federal labor laws affecting work hours and also the types of jobs youths can perform. The Illinois Department of Labor also has requirements which must be met when hiring youths. As with all labor laws, the employer must follow the law that best benefits or protects the worker. Rules applying to 14- and 15-year-olds during the summer months, defined as June 1 through Labor Day, include: • No work in manufacturing is allowed. • No more than 40 hours each week (Illinois allows 48 hours) • Hours must be scheduled between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. • In Illinois, no more than six consecutive days of work in a work week. • In Illinois, a meal period of at least 30 minutes must be provided no later than the fifth consecutive hour of work. • A notice with the hours of work and meal period must be posted. • In Illinois, a notice describing the work to be done and the hours of work must be presented to the youths who must obtain workpermits from their school principal. • The youth must be
HUMAN RESOURCES Karla Dobbeck accompanied by a parent or guardian during hiring process. Teens ages 16 and 17 are not restricted in the number of hours they are allowed to work nor do they need specific work permits. All students under the age of 18 are prevented from performing hazardous work or working around machinery. Hazardous work includes mining and many areas of manufacturing, deli counters and butcher shops. Other rules apply to agriculture and golf courses. The lists restricting various types of work for youths under the age of 18 can be found at the Illinois Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Labor websites – Illinois DOL Fact Sheet: http://www.illinois.gov/idol/ Health-Safety/Documents/ FLSCLL03.pdf; U.S. DOL Fact Sheet: http://www.dol. gov/whd/regs/compliance/ whdfs43.pdf. Most employers would be wise to check with their insurance broker or read their business insurance policy closely since many policies will not allow people under a certain age, usually 18, in the workplace. Check your group health plan to learn if a waiver of coverage is needed for a summer help employee, especially
if the job assignment extends beyond the required waiting period for enrollment. In Illinois, employers are responsible for workers’ comp insurance from the first day of work. Review your policy for any age restrictions. Also in Illinois, unemployment may apply should the employment assignment last more than 30 working days. A separate agreement between you and the summer employee will most likely not be recognized by the unemployment office. This most commonly occurs when someone is hired for the summer and decides later to stay in the workplace. The employer may not have a permanent opening and ends the relationship. The terminated employee may be entitled to benefits depending on work and wage history. Should you decide to continue employing someone hired as summer help, contact your group health provider to learn how to add the employee to the plan. Many group health providers have special provisions for late enrollees. Employers may be permitted to pay sub-minimum wages to some younger workers; check current minimum wage requirements for details.

5 Fast-Growing Jobs You’ve Never Heard Of ers design production lines.
By Tom Mangan, Monster Contributing Writer
Diagnostic Medical Sonographers
Little-known but fast-growing jobs appeal to those who like to zig when everybody else zags. We tracked down five occupations that have attractive growth prospects, obscure-sounding titles and above-average pay. We found them with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupation Finder, which lists more than 500 job descriptions and lets users sort them down by projected growth rate, annual salary and education level. All of the careers we found are expected to grow more than 20 percent from 2010 to 2020; average job growth for all careers nationwide is about 14 percent, the BLS says.
Biomedical Engineers 2010-2020 growth: 62 percent New jobs by 2020: 9,700 Education/training: Bachelor’s degree 2010 median pay: $81,540 per year Biomedical engineers work on some of the highest of the hightech medical advances, developing medical devices like prostheses and pacemakers and helping drug and device manufactur-

Michael Wolf, an economist at the BLS, notes that as hospitals strive to contain costs, they turn to these devices to peer inside the body without performing invasive surgeries. This is one of many fast-growing careers that require only an associate’s degree to enter the field.

says, so more logisticians will be needed to manage all the links in the global supply chain.
Geoscientists
The Big Picture on Job Growth
2010-2020 growth: 21 percent New jobs by 2020: 7,100 Education/training: Bachelor’s degree 2010 median pay: $82,500 per year
Job hunters need to understand what the BLS is doing with these projections, and what it’s not doing. By examining long-term trends in industry and society and comparing them to our current workforce, the BLS figures its projections should come close to being true over the decadelong scope of the projections.
Geoscientists study the composition of the earth’s crust and help develop strategies for environmental protection and restoration. Why are they looking under so many rocks? Mostly in the hope of finding new sources of oil and gas, Wolf says. To do this job, you’ll need to enjoy working outdoors at remote locales with extreme climates.
Logisticians
2010-2020 growth: 42 percent New jobs by 2020: 17,700 Education/training: High school diploma, apprenticeship 2010 median pay: $36,640 per year Glaziers install glass exteriors on office buildings, shopping centers and other commercial projects. It’s a tough, potentially scary job that’s not for those who have issues with heights. Wolf says many new office building are turning to glass exteriors

HOROSCOPE
TODAY - There are two major areas that will command your focus in the year ahead. One pertains to a creative endeavor, while the other involves romance. Success is indicated in each. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When you put the needs of others before your own, your probabilities for getting what you want become excellent. Fate will make sure things go your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’re not likely to have much control over a major change in your affairs. You might interpret
this happening negatively, but it will prove to be a good thing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you might have to take a little heat on behalf of a friend, you’re doing the right thing and your loyalty won’t be forgotten. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you apply yourself, you will find the opportunities you need to succeed. Once you make up your mind, woe to those who try to block your path. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t hesitate to take a calculated risk if you feel it’s
necessary. If you believe the odds favor you, it’s OK to gamble once in awhile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Any major issues in which you and your mate are in agreement will have far-reaching, favorable results. You’ll quickly discover that a united front brings many benefits. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Rather than criticize or dominate others, you’ll be inclined to set an example of leadership. Doing so will make your methods constructive, not contentious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You
should give full rein to your enterprising side, especially if you’re in need of some extra cabbage. Your moneymaking instincts are unusually keen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you feel that those in charge of a current endeavor aren’t effectively handling things, don’t hesitate to assert yourself and show them how to do a better job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The possibility of achieving two important personal objectives is quite good. When you’re determined to be successful, you will be.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Sometimes it’s necessary to take a calculated risk to achieve something big. If you honestly believe the odds favor you, go ahead and take a chance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you wait for things to go your way, you’re not likely to get very far. You’ve got to make things happen yourself if you want to move forward.

Couple keeps changing with the times One of the challenges Boomers face because of their large numbers is competition for jobs and rapidly changing skill sets. Within our lifetimes, the opportunity to spend your entire career with one employer has become rare, and no job is safe unless a person is ready to learn new skills. One sure way to lose a job or even a career is to remain in a rut. The words “that’s not the way we used to do it” have completely gone out of style. Innovation trumps tradition almost every time. Jim and Kathy Uszler of Sun City in Huntley can tell you the need to change is the only thing that has not changed in their lives. Because they have embraced that adage, rather than lamenting it, they are a dynamic couple who are retired in name only. Jim is a graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee. His first job after graduation was at a TV station in Wausau, Wis. All of his subsequent jobs have relied heavily upon his knowledge and skill in communications, yet there has been variety in what he did in the course of his career. Leaving Wisconsin, Jim started a radio station in Sycamore and began to hone his skills in the world of advertising. A faltering economy hit the radio and newspaper industries hard, however, so Jim made another move, this time buying and managing an insurance company. It has been said the perfect job is the one in which all your gifts and your past work experience comes together to meet a new challenge. That is what happened when Jim became the executive director of the Mt. Prospect Chamber of Commerce. The experience he had gained in starting up a new business, promoting and running special events, using media to advertise and running educational programs all contributed to his success. The first big undertaking Jim assumed for the chamber was teaching others in the business community how to use social media such as Twitter and Facebook to capture market share. When he took his position, the Chamber of Commerce was antiquated. Jim moved it into the 21st century with wifi and broadband access. Twenty-five years ago, Jim married Kathy. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in September in Paris.

Jim and Kathy Uszler of Sun City in Huntley say the need to change is the only thing that has not changed in their lives. Both had been married before. She had three children and he had two, and today they enjoy 10 grandchildren between them. Kathy’s career path led her to be a manager for a Chicago investment firm, but the economy and flow of business eventually led to a dead end. It was time to re-evaluate her goals. She realized she didn’t want a desk job. She leaned into her passion for gardening and took a Master Gardener course. Those Latin classes she toiled through in school all of a sudden found their usefulness when it came to plant names. By taking courses here and there, Kathy gradually grew into a gardening expert. She contacted McKay Nursery, a company that had been in business for 115 years, and won a job as a representative. Further training led her to develop an expertise in garden design. Eventually, she began to work her own crew and started her own business called The Plant Manager. These days, Kathy still is at work designing and drawing garden plans by hand. She has quite a following in Cook County and hopes to expand her business in McHenry County. Her garden in Mt. Prospect was featured in four garden walks and made it really hard for her to

relocate to Huntley. Yet the people who bought their house hired her to do spring clean up and perpetuate her garden legacy. Kathy is planting a new but smaller garden in Sun City. She is enjoying the McHenry County Master Gardener program and is delighted with all the opportunities it offers her. She is exploring joining a local quilt group and is enjoying decorating her new house. For information on Kathy’s business, visit theplantmanager.net. The move to Sun City was pretty painless for Jim. He knew people who had moved to Huntley already and had other contacts through his Rotary International involvement. Jim is still active with the GOA regional business association and acts as a consultant working with government affairs. Sun City has 41 different neighborhoods, and Jim is the new representative for neighborhood seven. His hobbies are fixing his truly awesome 1973 Ford Mustang and going to cruise nights, playing golf, taking photographs and world travel.

Honey-Paprika Chicken
Celebrity wines take spotlight By MICHELLE LOCKE
Miraval, Cote de Provence rose wine is a partnership between Jolie and Pitt and the Perrin French winemaking family.
The Associated Press

Big flavor, not effort, in paprika chicken By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Sweet and smoky and spicy are three flavors that work wonderfully together, and this recipe for roasted chicken thighs is a fast, easy and delicious way to make that point. I start by combining a mess of dry seasonings with honey to use as a wet – though very thick – rub for the chicken. The spicy comes from ginger and chili powder, but have no fear – it’s mild. And what heat there is gets tamed by the sweet honey and the mellow smoked sweet paprika. For a second blast of sweet, we roast the chicken thighs on top of a layer of orange slices. The sugars in these slices caramelize during cooking, intensifying the flavors. The juice from the slices is the finishing touch that gets squeezed over the chicken, tying everything together. The best part is while the flavors may be complex, the prep isn’t. The whole thing is ready for the oven less than 15 minutes, and is ready to serve just 25 minutes later.
Honey-Paprika Chicken With Roasted Oranges Start to finish: 40 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 8 4 navel oranges 1/4 cup smoked sweet paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground dry ginger 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons chicken broth, white wine, orange juice or water 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 cup mixed marinated olives, sliced Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice off and discard the ends of each orange. Cut each orange crosswise into 4 thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer over the baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, cumin and ginger. Stir in the honey and broth to form a thick paste. Rub the paste thickly and completely over each chicken thigh, then set the thighs in an even layer over the orange slices. Scatter the olives over the chicken. Roast for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. To serve, divide the chicken thighs and olives between 8 servings plates. Use tongs to squeeze 1 or 2 orange slices over each serving.

Fancy having Brangelina, Drew Barrymore and Dan Aykroyd over for dinner? No problem, they’ll even bring the wine. OK, maybe the stars themselves won’t show up, but their wines will appear with just a wave of a credit card. You might start with an aperitif of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s new Miraval rose, move on to a light pasta dish served with Barrymore Wine’s pinot grigio, then perhaps finish up with a glass of Aykroyd’s cabernet franc ice wine for dessert. It’s hard to put a number on celebrity wines, a category that includes singers, sports stars, chefs and more. But Danny Brager, vice president for alcoholic beverages at market research firm Nielsen, says there’s close to 100 on the market at the moment. “It keeps growing all the time,” he said. With thousands and thousands of wines out there, having a recognizable name on the label can help. “Just breaking through the clutter can be hugely difficult, and I think that’s where a recognized name just in and of itself can help break through that clutter,” Brager said. Interestingly, the average price for all 750-milliliter bottles of wine in the Nielsen database is $9. Average price for celebrity wines: $20. That could be because of a number of factors, including the type of wine the celebrity is selling – some are drawn to high-end efforts. Still, “it’s a significant

gap,” Brager points out. Jasper Russo, the fine wine buyer for Sigel’s wine and spirits store in Dallas, recently held a tasting of celebrity wines, including Miraval, a partnership between Jolie and Pitt and the Perrin French winemaking family. “When you have someone with that kind of serious winemaking background, that’s going to tell you something,” Russo said. There’s a flip side, too. “It tells me volumes when I can’t find out from your website who’s making the wine.” True wine aficionados are “going to judge the wine based on what the wine tastes like in the glass. But you have lots of customers who are not that picky about the wine. For them, wine is just a hedonistic experience. They don’t want to analyze the wine; they just want to enjoy it,” he said. “If you’re a Brangelina fan, it’s cool to have that on the table.” Miraval retails for about $24.99 and is made from grapes grown at Chateau Miraval, Pitt and Jolie’s place in the south of France.

Berg, who is from Chicago but in the midst of moving to California. One of the best ways to encourage writing is reading, she said, “thoughtful reading.” It’s desperately needed these days as a way to open up humanity and understand one another, she said, at a time when we need to be paying attention to what’s going on in the environment and the world. For aspiring writers, she said, “If I could single out one piece of advice, it would be, ‘Writing is unique as love. You could list all sorts of advice about both things, but you have to do what your heart tells you to do.” Many potential writers might not take the leap out of fear of criticism or rejection. To them, she suggests locking everyone else out, especially when writing a first draft. “It tends to be the really sensitive souls who get scared away from it, who don’t submit things,” she said. Don’t write in a formula or like someone else, she said. “Because it will sound like someone else,” she said. “Never write to sell. Write because that’s just what’s burning you up inside. ... I think true writers write because they have to and need to and would write whether they’re published or not.”

Elizabeth Berg never intended to be an author or any sort of teacher of writing, but she’s become both. And she’d love to see others do the same, to “translate what moves you or angers you or inspires you or mystifies you, into words.” The best-selling author of novels such as “Durable Goods,” “The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted,” “Talk Before Sleep,” and “Open House” Elizabeth (an Oprah’s Berg Book Club selection in 2000), Author will speak Friday as part of the Woodstock Fine Art Associations’ Spring Luncheon. The luncheon begins at 11 a.m., with lunch at noon, and Berg will present “The Story Behind the Stories” at 1 p.m. Those who attend will have the opportunity not only to hear from Berg, but also have copies of her new book, “Tapestry of Fortune,” purchased at the event and signed. As described, the latest book tells the story of four women who venture into their pasts to shape their futures, fates and fortunes. It is the latest in string of books reflecting on female friendship, all praised for Berg’s ability to find humor and emotion in everyday life. A registered nurse for 10 years, Berg only started writing after she won a contest in a magazine. Essays and then her first novel, “Durable Goods” published in 1993, followed. She’ll talk about the creative process behind all of her books, she said, but she most looks forward to taking questions. “I think for aspiring writers in particular it’s always nice to hear the story of how somebody got started, especially someone like me who never went to writing school and never thought I’d be a writer at all,” said

Birthday giving Area children donate presents to their favorite charitable organizations By JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com
“Mom, I have too much.” a cause she believes in. That’s how 10-year-old Chloe Walker of McHenry She’s one of several area children to do so recently. Their resources might be limited, but they felt when her birthday rolled around. Instead of presents, she asked family and friends to donate to found a way to give back. Here are their stories:
Chloe Walker Chloe first asked family and friends not to give her anything for Christmas. She simply wanted donations for the foster-based rescue and adoption organization Wagging Hearts (www.wagginghearts.org), which serves Chicagoland and Wisconsin. The family had adopted a dog from the shelter. “Nobody listened,” said her mother, Tara Walker. “All she got was gifts.” So for her birthday this year, the family, which also includes Tara’s father, Bill, and her 8-year-old sister, Hailey, hosted a donation drive and scavenger hunt. They went around the neighborhood collecting donations from about 50 people. Blankets, pet toys, towels, brooms, dust pans, paper towels, sponges, laundry detergent, garbage bags. “My car was packed. I couldn’t tell you how much we got,” Tara Walker remembered. “The people at the shelter were so thrilled.” Chloe also hopes to volunteer with an animal shelter, and her family has contacted PetSmart in McHenry to find a time over the summer when she can help clean up in the “cat room,” where adoptable pets stay. “I think she’s a special little girl,” Tara said. “I think she’s fabulous. She’s got a big heart. I’m extremely proud of her. ... She doesn’t need anything, and she knows it. She’d rather give than receive.”
Beth Douglass Riding horses since the age of 5 and loving them even longer, 11-year-old Beth Douglass of Cary knew exactly what she wanted to do with her birthday money this year. “She wanted to help the horses,” said her mother, Clair Douglass. Beth, also the daughter of Michael Douglass, had visited a fundraising event at Destination Safe Haven, a horse rescue and retirement facility based in Marengo. “She really kind of fell in love with the horses,” Clair said. She asked family and friends to bring donations instead of birthday presents and ended up with about $200 worth of supplies and feed for the agency. “She didn’t really need or want anything. She’s a kid, and her resources are limited, but I thought that was a pretty creative solution,” Clair said. The family showed up with garbage bags for cleaning stalls, large hoses, homemade horse treats and other donations.

Beth Douglass, 11, of Cary, asked family and friends to give her donations instead of birthday presents and donated about $200 worth of supplies to Destination Safe Haven, a horse rescue and retirement facility based in Marengo.
• DONATE Continued from page 6 “It was a pretty big deal for us because that doesn’t happen too often,” volunteer Lacey Anderson said. “We were really surprised because she’s so young, and we were so grateful.” Beth had hoped to continue her fundraising efforts for the organization, perhaps hosting a
grooming day with friends during the summer. But the nonprofit organization, which relies on volunteers and donations, has announced on its website it will be closing its doors May 15 due to lack of funding. “We will continue to maintain and find homes for the residents that are adoptable,” the website states. “Thank you for all of your past support – donations are still welcome as we have permanent residents to care for.”
Cole Hartke At age 5, Cole Hartke of Crystal Lake decided to forgo his birthday gifts and give to children who aren’t as fortunate. Upon his mother Sara’s suggestion, he asked friends and family to bring small unwrapped gifts to his birthday party. The roughly dozen or so gifts were donated to Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, formerly Children’s Memorial Hospital. Cole’s birthday falls right after Christmas and Hanukkah. “He just gets a ton of stuff, and we have a ton of stuff,” Sara Hartke said. “He’s always been really healthy, and we’re lucky.” After Sara mentioned the possibility of donating, Cole let all of his friends know that’s what he wanted to do. “He just went with it and said it isn’t a big deal,” Sara said. Each brought toys, such as notebooks, puzzles, airplanes, Transformers and more for the children at the hospital to take home with them. Sara has a friend that works in the hospital’s critical care unit. The family, including Cole’s father, Dan, and 2-year-old sister, Taylor, didn’t actually get to go to the children’s rooms because of the risk of infection. But Cole was able to drop the presents off at the hospital. “We just told him we’re really proud of him,” Sara said.

Other parents at the birthday party said they might like to do similar efforts. “I was kind of hoping maybe every other year he could do something,” Sara said. “As he gets older, he’ll be able to pick what he wants to do. He’ll understand it more. He has a little sister, and another baby’s on the way. We’re hoping he can set the example.”

Prom spending on the rise again Deals to check out
By JOSEPH PISANI The Associated Press The prom is making a big comeback. The recession forced parents and teens to cut back on spending for the annual high school dance, but wallets are finally opening again. “Dresses are more elaborate,” said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group. “They are now buying two pairs of shoes, one to go to prom and one to dance in.” “This crop of kids cares about prom,” Cohen said. And so do the parents, who see the dance as a rite of passage. The pressure to help give teenagers a memorable night is high. “You don’t want your kid to be the only kid who doesn’t have what the other kids have,” said Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University. Prom spending is expected to rise this spring to an average $1,139. That’s among families who are planning to spend some money to attend the annual affair, according to a survey of 1,025 parents of prom age teens by payment processor Visa Inc. and research company Gfk. Not included in the average were 12 percent who said they wouldn’t spend anything on the prom. A majority of parents with teenagers surveyed still were unsure how much they’d spend. Leigh Dow didn’t have a budget for her 16-year-old daughter’s prom dress. She wanted it to be well made, have a good fit and be unique. Dow paid $500 for a raspberry-colored gown with silver beading and a sweetheart neckline.
From formal wear to after dinner desert, some big brands are offering deals for prom goers this year. Here’s a look at three deals: David’s Bridal The bridal shop is offering offering 50 percent off some of its prom dresses, both in stores and online, until May 22. Customers can get 10 percent off accessories, such as shoes, bags and jewelry, if they also buy a prom dress on the same day at a David’s Bridal store. That deal ends May 31. Men’s Wearhouse Going in a group? Shoppers who refer five people to rent a prom tuxedo from the men’s clothing retailer can earn a free tuxedo rental worth up to $219.99. The five referrals must put down a deposit or pay in full before June 30. Details are on MensWearhouse.com. The company also will give you a $30 coupon if you register your email on its website.
Flowers get fancy NEW YORK – The elaborate invitation has been proffered and accepted, the limo rented and the outfits coordinated, so what’s next when planning for prom? That traditional pop of spring, of course, in the corsage and boutonniere. Once a sweet surprise and often all white to go with any outfit, prom flowers have made the leap into the new millennium with glitzy embellishments, jewelry attachments and a world of creativity for the florists who design them. No more scratchy, throwaway wristbands (unless you want one) and no more fumbling with straight pins as your nervous date squirms. Today’s corsages don’t even have to be corsages. Flowers can be worn on the head, upper arm or shoe, at the shoulder, on a necklace, as a ring or even stuck right onto a bare back or leg.
– The Associated Press
Attachments Bangles, beads, multiple strands of rhinestones, fancy cuff bracelets in silver, gold or any wire creation imaginable have replaced the cheapy wristlets of corsages past. Slap bracelets also are used as a base, easily painted or sprayed with glitter to match an overall look. Some florists stock options but invite customers to bring along their own jewelry. Boutonniere holders (think ice cream cone shape) often anchor the traditional male floral in metal. They come in filigree, vine and many other designs.
Olive Garden Eat at the Olive Garden for a pre-prom dinner, and the restaurant will give prom goers a free desert. You must be dressed in prom attire and mention the prom to the server. The deal ends June 2. She expects her daughter, Darby McDaniel, who is a junior in high school, to wear the dress more than once. Dow also will pay for a hairstylist, a spray tan and part of the cost of a party bus to drive a group of kids to the dance. “Prom has become a very big production,” said Dow, who owns Dow Media Group, a marketing company.

Embellishments Anything goes regardless of where you decide to place your flowers – and whether you’re the one in a dress or a tux. Colored feathers, ribbons of different textures, prints and widths and silk leaves can be mixed. Arrangements can have dangling strands of beads or rhinestones or bejeweled pins. And in a trend borrowed from the wedding industry, plant succulents and pods are used as accents.
Placement Wearing the prom arrangement on the wrist remains popular, but florists and designers support other placements as well, the head among them. Shops offer florals attached to rhinestonestudded tiaras, more relaxed bohemian headbands worn across the forehead or around-the-head wreaths. Experts also suggest floral arrangements attached to purses or phone cases, small arrangements intended for the toe or ankle strap of a shoe or hang an arrangement from a rhinestonestudded necklace that ties with ribbon at the back. FROM TOP: A boutonniere is created with two green dendrobium orchids, black bead spray, a rhinestone heart, black silk leaves and a keepsake magnetic boutonniere holder. A floral headband is made with a green orchid, dragonfly pin, dangling beads, blue glittered leaves, silver accent ribbon, rhinestones and a braided silver and white headband. A floral decoration for prom shoes is made of three white tea roses, three glittered scabiosa pods, pink sequin accents and pink rhinestones.
Prom fashion looks to red carpet Attending the prom isn’t cheap. But mapping out a plan can help keep costs low. Here’s a list of items you may need to buy or rent: • Prom Dress/ Tuxedo • Tickets • Shoes • Pre-prom dinner • After-prom party tickets • Hair • Makeup • Accessories • Photography • Transportation • Corsage/ boutonniere
By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL The Associated Press NEW YORK – You might as well roll out the red carpet in front of the school gymnasium or hotel ballroom and line it with parental paparazzi: Prom season provides many girls a chance to have their moment in the spotlight. It’s likely that this year’s parade of fashions will include a few starlet lookalikes. And why not? Today’s young celebrities span many styles. There’s Jennifer Lawrence, who has come to awards shows dressed both sporty and sleek, and like a princess; Taylor Swift, who moves seamlessly from vintage to ethereal; and sometimes funky, sometimes artsy Chloe Moretz. There also are Rihanna and Selena Gomez, notes Gina Kelly, fashion director at Seventeen. “You’ve got Selena Gomez, who’s a little sweeter, and Rihanna, who’s edgier. Within that range, you’ve got a lot of options.” Coming just off the Hollywood awards season, all the options are fresh in girls’ minds, she said, and they’ve gotten ideas on how to put a whole package together. Lawrence, for example, wore a bona fide ballgown – and there are girls who want that – but her delicate jewelry and loose updo added youthfulness, Kelly observes. Georgina Chapman, designer of red-carpet favorite Marchesa, now is offering a significantly less expensive
version of her party looks at J.C. Penney under the Pearl label. With a toddler daughter at home, a brand new son born last week, and teenage stepdaughters, she was itchy to do something for the younger crowd. For even her older teen stepdaughter, Chapman said, she felt like Marchesa’s dramatic signature might have been a little too much. “You want to look vibrant. You’ve got that young glow, work with that!” She hopes Pearl adds a little “more tongue in cheek” than Marchesa, with the same level of attention to details, and you’ll have the embellishment and ruffles. There are looks that hit the right note between risktaker and risqué. The Grammys this year came with an edict that outfits couldn’t show too much skin, so some stars, including Rihanna, worked around it with sheer illusion fabrics and peek-a-boo cutouts, both compromises that also might follow mom’s rules. Even if girls don’t want to hear it, a dress that will allow them to stand, sit and dance will be more fun in the end. “You don’t want to have to worry about falling out of your dress every time you move,” Seventeen’s Kelly said. Comfort also can fuel confidence. Mandi Line, costume designer for TV’s “Pretty Little Liars,” says, “go with your gut or you won’t be happy at the dance.”

H
eading home with her fourth child delivered at Centegra Hospital, Lisa McIntyre’s no stranger to the routine. But this time around, she won’t be taking home any baby formula offered by the hospital. Through a new “Ban the Bags” initiative, Centegra ended the practice of sending new mothers home with samples of commercial formula bags. The hope is without the formula, they’ll be more inclined to breastfeed and to keep at it for at least a year.

“If you send formula home, you’re tempted. Sometimes it might be easier as a quick alternative, but in the long run, it’s better for the baby [to breastfeed].” Lisa McIntyre of Walworth, Wis., mother of four including newborn Caleb (pictured)
Percentage of babies who are breastfed

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, and that breastfeeding continue at least until the end of the first year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2013 Breastfeeding Report Card, fewer than half still are breastfed at 6 months of age in Illinois.

Fighting formula
daughters, likes the idea of promoting breastfeeding and providing as many resources as possible. But, she said, she has mixed feelings about the initiative. “In my head, it was never an option to give my kids formula, but it was easy for me,” she said. “I had plenty of milk that came naturally. But I have plenty of friends that struggled with it, that didn’t produce the milk, and it was stressing them out . . . “I just have so many friends that weren’t able to nurse that I would feel bad for them if they felt bad about themselves not being able to do it. ... It’s a difficult time to have a newborn regardless of what choice you make. And that’s not good for the baby if you’re stressed.” For some new moms, sending them home with one or two canisters of formula could take the pressure off a bit, Sebestyen said. In Illinois, 76.8 percent of babies were breastfed when they were born, according to the 2012 Breastfeeding Report Card released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2012, the number of babies who were still breastfeeding at six months of age decreased to 49.8 percent. At a year, 25.3 percent of babies still were breastfed. New mothers are given this information along with resources that promote theirs and their babies’ health, Keller said. They also receive information on the McHenry County Department of Health, which can provide financial assistance for formula and other supplies to those who qualify. “We make sure the moms in our community are very well taken care of,” Keller said. The Centegra Breastfeeding Resource Center is available not just for those who deliver at Centegra’s hospitals, but to any families looking for support or information regarding breastfeeding, she said. Lisa McIntyre breastfed her first three children, ages 13, 9 and 5, while working as a physical therapist. Returning to work 12 weeks after delivering, she worked full time after her first child was born, but was able to pump her breast milk. She now works part time. Through the pumped milk, dad Bill is able to help with the feedings. “He does a lot of the burping,” Lisa added with a laugh. “I think it’s important for the fathers to be supportive,” Bill said. “I know there are times when things get rough. The father does need to be supportive, otherwise it’s tough to continue when you’re trying to work through those difficult times.”

McIntyre, who has breastfed all of her children, is all for the initiative. “I think it’s a great idea,” she said as she cradled her newborn, 7-pound, 9-ounce Caleb at the Woodstock hospital. “If you send formula home, you’re tempted. Sometimes it might be easier as a quick alternative, but in the long run, it’s better for the baby [to breastfeed],” she said. “You’re giving [breastfeeding] more of a chance,” added her husband, Caleb’s father, Bill. The Walworth, Wis., couple always has supported breastfeeding because of the health benefits it provides babies. It helps their immune systems and makes them less prone to ear infections and other illnesses, they said. Instead of the formula samples, new mothers are sent home with a gift of an insulated bag, reusable ice pack, health promotions items, nursing pads, bottles for pumped breast milk and other related supplies as well as information on breastfeeding and other resources. Mothers who choose to feed their babies formula still will be able to do so at both of Centegra’s hospitals in Woodstock and McHenry, said Valerie Keller, a lactation consultant at the Centegra Breastfeeding Resource Center. While in the hospital, those mothers will be given formula if that’s what they want, she said. They just won’t be sent home with any samples, as in years past. And they’ll still be able to use the insulated bag, Keller said. That way, while promoting breastfeeding, the hospital isn’t promoting any certain commercial brand of formula, Keller said. “Studies have shown that if a mom is given a certain brand in the hospital, they’ll stay with that name-brand and end up paying 30 percent more for it at the store than other brands,” she said. The grass-roots campaign is based on research that shows the longer a mother breastfeeds, the healthier the baby, she said. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, and that breastfeeding continue at least until the end of the first year. “We’re trying to base all of our practices off of current research, and we’re trying to bring that practice to our moms,” Keller said. “The best practice now is providing breastfeeding support and resources within the community so they continue to breastfeed as long as they desire.” Jennifer Sebestyen, a Lake in the Hills mom of three, including a 5-year-old and 15-month-old twin

Future with man paying for his past is clouded Dear Abby: I’m a 60-year-old woman with grown children. My husband and I divorced after 30 years of marriage because he met someone at work. It was a quick process, and because I was in shock, I agreed to the terms of the divorce even though they weren’t in my favor. Two years ago, I met a very nice man who treats me with respect and love. He wants a future for us, and so do I, but I can’t get over one thing: He has two illegitimate children – one he didn’t even know about – and although the son is an adult, he still is paying back support. I hate to sound like a snob, but this situation isn’t OK with me. I’m afraid I will always bring it up when I am angry. I’m thinking maybe if we wait until the support obligation has ended I might feel different, but who knows? I’d appreciate some advice. – Can’t
Get Over It In Georgia Dear Can’t Get Over It: I know very few people older than 35 who don’t carry some kind of baggage from past experiences. You don’t have to approve of everything in his suitcase, but if you plan on having a long-term relationship with this “very nice man,” you will have to accept he is fulfilling his legal obligation. Dragging the past into the present during an argument is an unhealthy expression of anger. It’s guaranteed to drive a partner away. Until you can find a more constructive way to work out disagreements, you shouldn’t marry anyone. Dear Abby: My husband and I are in our 30s and have been married 15 years. Over the past year, we have been intimate only about once every three months. I tried to spice things up to see if I could get him interested,
but he reacted by becoming upset, defensive and insinuating that I have an unnatural fixation on sex. After some discussions, it turns out he’s having erectile dysfunction problems. I was relieved to know it wasn’t lack of interest, but now I’m even more confused by his unwillingness to see a doctor. It has been a couple of months since he confided his problem to me, but he has done nothing to try and correct it. I offered to go to the doctor with him, have joint therapy – I even tried being a little extra kinky to see if it would help. He still refuses to see a doctor or go to therapy. I’m completely stumped and unsure what else to do. Any advice will truly be appreciated. – Needs
may be embarrassed or afraid, which is why he’s avoiding going to a doctor. Be supportive, but you need to ask him what he plans to do about this – if anything – because the absence of physical affection is unfair to you. Dear Abby: My 14-year-old granddaughter “Lana” has unfriended me on Facebook twice during the past week. Her mother told me she has been unfriended, too, because Lana doesn’t want adults seeing what she’s doing on Facebook. How would you handle this? – Nana In Ohio Dear Nana: I’d suggest that Lana’s mother tell her daughter that if she wants to continue on Facebook, she had better KEEP Mom and Grandma as friends.

Denial runs deep in family battling addictions “Jason” told me he was bi-polar. When I asked him whether he had seen a doctor or been hospitalized, he said, “No, but my Mom says my Dad was bi-polar and it runs in families.” I asked whether his dad had taken medication for bi-polar disorder or been to a doctor, and Jason said that he didn’t think so but that his dad, now deceased used to have mood swings. I was talking to Jason because he tested positive
for marijuana at his job and was sent for an evaluation. Jason’s sincere belief was he smoked marijuana to relax because he had bi-polar disorder. I asked Jason whether there was any alcoholism or drug addiction in his family. He said no but his dad had a drinking problem and his mom used far too many pills. As it turned out, Jason’s father had been treated for alcoholism many times and died of drinking-related causes. Jason’s mom, in her
own prescription drug-induced haze, needed to find a way to justify her husband’s erratic behavior. She first told herself and then, once she was sufficiently convinced, everyone else her husband had “mood swings,” which morphed into today’s vernacular, bi-polar disorder. Jason’s Dad may have had other mental conditions, but his diagnosis was alcoholism, and “Jason” had never faced that fact. He was unaware the denial in families can be deeper and more complete
than the denial of the alcoholic themselves. In Jason’s family, the word “alcoholism” had never been spoken. In this case, a 24 year old man had been unable to see through the veil of assumptions, half-truths and lies of convenience that were woven, from his mom’s perspective, “to keep the family together.” Jason’s mom had grown up in an alcoholic family herself. She was deeply ashamed of her family and saw alcoholism as a weak-
ness. She spent her entire childhood fearful, angry and bound to avoid that set of circumstances in her adult life. She became an educated and self-sufficient woman with a master’s degree in nursing. Despite her resolve, her inability to address her own denial produced a second and third generation of addiction. Addiction runs in families, too.

“The Woman Upstairs” (Alfred A. Knopf), by Claire Messud
The cover photo of Tom Sizemore’s autobiography, “By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There,” is a perfect introduction for what’s to come. The 51-year-old actor stands looking up at the camera, instantly recognizable because of his work portraying tough-guy characters in such memorable 1990s films as “Saving Private Ryan,” “Heat” and “Natural Born Killers.” His face, though, looks worn, and his eyes are those of a man who’s been to hell and back. And that’s exactly what his book details – Sizemore’s ascent to the height of cinema, working for the Steven Spielbergs and with the Robert De Niros of the world – and his drug-fueled descent that left him imprisoned and out of options. “I was a guy who’d come from very little and risen to the top,” writes Sizemore. “I’d had the multimillion-dollar house, the Porsche, the restaurant I partially owned with Robert De Niro. “And now I had absolutely nothing.” “By Some Miracle” – the title is taken from a line uttered by his “Saving Private Ryan” char-

acter, Sgt. Mike Horvath – is a painfully honest look at a man, who, by his own admission, had become a “spoiled movie star” and an “arrogant fool” who at his lowest point was “a hope-todie addict.” Sizemore recounts his friendships with Hollywood’s elite – Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr. and De Niro among them – and his dalliances with actresses Edie Falco, Elizabeth Hurley and Juliette Lewis. It was during Sizemore’s tabloid romance with former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss his life truly fell apart. He was convicted in 2003 of harassing, annoying and physically abusing Fleiss. While Sizemore admits in the book to being “immature” and says he regrets may of his actions, he denies striking Fleiss. Readers interested in a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s machinations will love Sizemore’s book, but it’s not for everyone. The subject matter can at times be difficult to stomach – sex tapes, copious amounts of drug taking, etc. But in many ways, it’s a story of redemption – of a man who now is trying to regain a small measure of what he squandered.

Mitch Albom has new publisher, 3-book deal
Grisham to release sequel to ‘A Time to Kill’
Hachette expands library e-catalog
NEW YORK – Mitch Albom, one of the country’s most popular authors, has a new publisher and a new novel coming this fall. The author of “Tuesdays With Morrie” has a three-book deal with Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Albom’s previous publisher was the Disney-owned Hyperion. Harper said Albom’s next book is called “The First Phone Call from Heaven.” The novel will tell of a small Michigan town where residents start receiving phone calls from those in the afterlife.
NEW YORK – The defense attorney in John Grisham’s first novel, “A Time to Kill,” is returning to the courtroom. Grisham’s new book, “Sycamore Row,” will be published Oct. 22, the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group announced. Like “A Time to Kill,” it will feature Jake Brigance as a lawyer in a small Mississippi town. Knopf Doubleday promises a trademark Grisham tale of “intrigue, suspense and plot twists.” “A Time to Kill” was published in 1989 and sold modestly.
NEW YORK – The standoff between publishers and libraries over e-books is rapidly easing. Hachette Book Group became the fourth major publisher this year to announce it was expanding its digital offerings to libraries. Hachette, whose authors include Stephenie Meyer and Malcolm Gladwell, will offer its entire e-catalog to libraries after two years of pilot programs. New books will be available simultaneously in paper and e-editions, a policy also recently adapted by Penguin Group (USA).

By Suzanne Cannon
I would like to buy a diamond engagement ring and propose this Summer. What is the most important “C” to consider when buying a diamond? Is it Clarity, Color, Carat or Cut? For years diamonds have been priced and sold based on clarity and color but CUT is what makes a diamond sparkle! 10 years ago, we partnered with the “Hearts On Fire” Diamond company. We made a commitment to carry a brand of Diamonds that is like no other. While other stores focus on selling the biggest diamond for the cheapest price, we found ourselves doing quite the opposite. Like all new business ventures we were scared to say the least. But as it turns out, 10 years later, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We realize now how much people really do expect out of their investment. While price may be a primary concern… brilliance, sparkle and shine are the real reasons people buy diamonds. Most diamonds will sparkle to a degree, but when you put an ordinary stone next to a Hearts On Fire diamond, there simply is no comparison. Hearts on Fire has been around for 17 years and is sold in over 45 countries. It is the most recognized diamond brand in the world and it is perfectly cut. There are 58 facets on a Hearts On Fire Diamond which is the same as a traditional round brilliant cut. The difference in brilliance is the precision of proportion, polish and symmetry. Adding more facets does not increase the brilliance of a diamond. It only makes them have more facets. Hearts on Fire is the only diamond that emits all 7 colors of the rainbow. Most diamonds are cut & polished at 10 power magnification while Hearts On Fire is cut at 100 power. There are so many other things to say about this wonderfully, brilliant diamond. The true success that we have found with offering such a superior stone is what we have heard from our customers. The thrill in their voice when they tell me how many compliments they receive and the passion they use to describe how much they love their Hearts On Fire diamond says it all! Visit our Hearts On Fire showcase and see the difference for yourself. Select your perfectly cut diamond from the largest collection of engagement rings in the Northwest Suburbs.

You may now chug with the bride. Toasting the bride and groom with Champagne is de rigueur. But recently, couples hip (or is that hops?) to craft beers are shaking up the wedding reception scene by insisting on serving the brews they love on their big day, everything from local ales to home brews concocted by the bride and groom. It’s not unusual for stouts and pilsners to flow at receptions or for rehearsal dinners to feature “beer flight” tastings of different craft brews. The high-end Baltimore caterer Chef’s Expressions offers hors d’oeuvres consisting of a shot glass of beer and a burger slider. One couple even set up tasting stations with beers from around the world, said Anja Winikka, site editor of TheKnot.com. Another couple who met in the Yukon served beer from Yukon Brewing in an ice-packed canoe. There’s little danger Champagne will get knocked off its bridal throne, but the craft brew buzz running through the wedding scene is yet another sign that beer – once a workingman’s beverage sold in pop-top cans – has successfully transformed
into a respectable artisanal beverage suitable for nuptial toasts. Crucially, craft beers also have proven more female friendly. But while craft beer has been making inroads for years, wedding industry people have really noticed its presence increasing in the last year or two. Winikka explained the tradition-bound wedding industry tends to be slow to latch on to trends. She also noted more couples are paying for their own weddings, and thus are less bound to expectations of what others want. Plus, beer is really fun. “What you’re seeing is that instead of the signature cocktail – like the fruity, weird martini thing that a lot of people were doing five, 10 years ago – couples are saying, ‘That’s not really our style, so were going to do a beer flight at our cocktail hour,’” Winikka said. The brides and grooms demanding local brews are no different from the growing number of Americans scouting farmers market for local corn and grass-fed beef. And just as it has become easier to source food locally, it has become easier to find a local brewery. In Chicago, that means couples asking for beverages from hometown brewers such as Metropolitan Brewing and Goose Island.

“Iron Man 3” HHH½ STARRING: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce PLOT: Prone to anxiety attacks after battling aliens in “The Avengers,” Tony Stark (Downey) now spends most of his time tinkering on new armor. That changes when a terrorist calling himself the Mandarin (Kingsley) threatens Tony’s girlfriend (Paltrow) and brings the war to Tony’s front door. RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of science-iction action and violence throughout, and brief suggestive content TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: Superhero series usually lose their footing in the third outing, but director Shane Black, replacing Jon Favreau, avoids the third-movie curse by crafting a movie much different, and much more personal, than the irst two. For most of the story, Downey had to prove his heroism without Iron Man’s armor. Kingsley’s villain is odd, but that makes him more chilling. As big as the action sequences are, Downey commands the ilm. – Jeffrey

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful matic elements and smoking TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: The story of a sympathetic fugitive who forges a bond with two teenage boys near a mighty river down South, “Mud” is shot through with traditional qualities of American literature and drama. Jeff Nichols’ much-anticipated follow-up to his breakthrough second feature “Take Shelter” feels less adventurous and unsettling but remains a well-carpentered piece of work marked by some ine performances and resilient thematic iber. – Todd

• DOWNEY Continued from page 20 Paltrow and Downey became friends after meeting at a film festival in the 1990s, although like much of Hollywood, she had doubts about the talented but manic actor who squandered his early promise through his partying and addictions. The once out-of-control Downey looks like a man in complete control now. Backing him up and keeping him honest, much as Pepper steers Tony straight, is his wife and producing partner, Susan Downey. They have a year-old son, and considering the mess he made of his personal life in his 20s and 30s, Downey’s happiness on the home-front seems an appropriate complement to his career turnaround, which included an Oscar
nomination for 2008’s “Tropic Thunder” (he also was nominated for 1992’s “Chaplin”). Is his future nothing but bliss? “I see perpetual vainglory,” Downey initially jokes. Then, “I see transitioning into things that are age and spirit appropriate, and I couldn’t have imagined that I’d be here five years ago. Ultimately, it comes down to relationships. What keeps driving me to feel that there’s more to explore in this universe is sitting right next to me,” he said, glancing at Paltrow. “And my significant other, my partner, is a great, creative producer, and there are ways she is starting to inch me toward that are probably for my highest good.” Tony Stark’s billions may top Downey’s millions, but the actor has one advantage over Iron Man.
Tony has one Gal Friday in Pepper, while Downey has two – his wife and Paltrow. “The cool thing is, and speaking of girl power, is she and the missus are friends,” Downey says. “I love his wife,” Paltrow says. “They’re both, like, type-A, organized, and so Susan and Gwyneth organize our ability to stay close and keep our doors open to each other and be current with each other’s lives and each other’s kids.” “It’s fun,” Paltrow says. “We make an effort, because life can just get so busy and complicated, and we really go out of our way to carve out little pockets of time.” And the great perk of hanging with Paltrow? “Suffice it to say,” Downey says, “it’s also really easy for me to get good tickets to a Coldplay concert.”

T
here’s something of the old married couple about Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr., although they’re married to other people. They’ve known each other for 20 years, through bad times (his) and good (hers all along and now his, too). They’re cozy and comfy sitting down together for an interview, shifting easily between talking about their Marvel Studios superhero sequel “Iron Man 3,” chatting up each other’s career and family and trading small talk about their little ailments as Downey rummages through a case of nostrums he travels with. “I think I picked up a little bacteria on the road,” Downey says of his trips promoting the film worldwide ahead of its U.S. debut this week. “No big deal.” “In what part of your body?” Paltrow asks. “Tum-tum,” Downey replies. “I got really sick from the plane from England,” Paltrow says. “Just terrible stomach problems.” “Travel’s tough when you’re not a kid anymore,” Downey adds. “You’ve got to take it really seriously.” Both are taking everything seriously now, from work to family to lifestyle. Downey and Paltrow are in enviable places among their fortysomething Hollywood peers. At 48, he’s the great reclamation project of show business, rebounding from a fitful early career overshadowed by drug abuse and prison to become arguably the hottest leading man on the planet. “Iron Man 3” just opened to a whopping $195 million overseas, surpassing last year’s international debut of Marvel’s “The Avengers,” in which he also had the leading role. At 40, Paltrow’s diversified into a super-hyphenate. While slowing down on acting to raise her two children with her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, Paltrow has just published her second cookbook, runs the lifestyles website Goop.com and is a business partner with fitness trainer Tracy Anderson. Paltrow also managed to bookend her Academy Award for “Shakespeare in Love” with an Emmy win for her guest

spots on “Glee.” Paltrow has plenty of detractors, though. Critics questioned her designation by People magazine as the world’s most beautiful woman, which came days after Star magazine named her the most hated celebrity. Downey and Paltrow are following “Iron Man 3” with smaller dramas, Paltrow starring opposite Antonio Banderas in the Pablo Picasso tale “33 Dias,” Downey joining Robert Duvall for the Downey and Paltrow star in father-son story “The “Iron Man 3.”
Judge.” He also has plans for a third entry in his other franchise, “Sherlock Holmes,” although the future of “Iron Man,” Downey’s billionaire genius Tony Stark and Paltrow’s GalFriday-turned-girlfriend-and-CEO Pepper Potts are uncertain. “Iron Man 3” hints that Tony might hang up his metal suits to focus on life with Pepper. Downey won’t tip his hand on the prospects of future solo entries or whether he’ll return for the upcoming “The Avengers” sequel. After so many years on the outs in Hollywood, though, Downey’s gotten used to the blockbuster life. “Kind of like Tony’s obsession with the suit, this genre of movie, this and the ‘Sherlock’ stuff, it’s addictive,” Downey says. “Because
they’re big movies. Interesting people seem to be drawn to them in recent years. You get really cool directors, people really running wild with their imagination.” Paltrow eagerly says she would come back for more “Iron Man.” Especially now that she’s getting into the thick of things. In “Iron Man 3,” Pepper graduates from glorified personal assistant to running Tony’s empire, and Paltrow even gets to put on the Iron Man suit and mix it up in the action scenes. “I seriously question all my career choices up to that point. It’s like, what have I been doing in these highbrow frigging corset things? This is so much more fun,” Paltrow says.
