Not quite on their own Blended learning gives Huntley High students level of independence By MEAGAN FLYNN • editorial@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – When John Burkey was in high school 30 years ago, he thought the traditional method of having a teacher write on a chalkboard and students copy down information was flawed. “That’s part of the reason I got into education, because I did think there were better ways we could do things,” said Burkey, superintendent for Huntley District 158. Burkey and Anne Pasco have spent the past two years developing a new way to educate the district’s high school students. Called blended learning, it combines independent online assignments with traditional classroom instruction and testing.

This school year, about 500 of the 2,393 students at Huntley High School are enrolled in 10 blended classes, said Pasco, the blended learning/educational technology department chairwoman at Huntley High School. The program will be expanded to 19 classes next year, and an estimated 1,300 students have requested a blended learning class. Burkey and Pasco said blended learning may be the best way to teach students born into a digital age – and they’re open to revisions as to how the program functions. “We are innovators, and we are creating this as we go,” Pasco said.

kcraver@shawmedia.com The floodwaters may be receding, but with it, emergency officials are getting a better idea of the damage April’s rains did. More than 800 homes were affected by last month’s flooding, McHenry County Emergency Management Agency Director David Christensen told the McHenry County Board. But only about a quarter of them meet federal criteria for reimbursement should the president declare McHenry County a disaster area. “Unfortunately, when the water leaves, we, the government, find out just what the water did,” Christensen told board members Tuesday. More than 200 homes in McHenry County sustained minor damage, according to preliminary Federal Emergency Management Agency assessments compiled based on mailing addresses. Fifty-six of those homes have McHenry mailing addresses, while the second-most, Port Barrington, had 45. No homes met the criteria for major damage or worse. An assessment by FEMA, which partners with state and local response agencies, is an important early step in seeking federal assistance. Gov. Pat Quinn has declared a total of 48 counties

SPRINGFIELD – A Senate committee approved a unionbacked approach for dealing with Illinois’ pension crisis Wednesday, saying it gives the state its best chance at surviving an inevitable court challenge and getting out of its nearly $100 billion mess. The Senate Executive Committee voted, 10-5, to send the proposal to the full Senate. It could get a floor vote as early as Thursday. T h e m e a - Senate Presis u r e , s p o n - dent John sored by Sen- Cullerton ate President John Cullerton, was drafted in collaboration with some of the state’s largest public-employee unions.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

State GOP needs new chair, living room set If members of the Illinois Republican Party didn’t know they were standing at a crossroads, the departure of Chairman Pat Brady is the signpost they were looking for. As a statewide organization, Republicans have only scant relevance and the immediate future is questionable, which should be maddening given the budgetary nightmare that shrouds Illinois under complete dominance by Democrats from the governor’s mansion to supermajorities in both state houses. I’d argue that you should care about the future of the GOP even if you’re a diehard Democrat, but that argument would go nowhere. Arguing with hyperpartisans is as pleasant as picnicking with wolverines. I have more influence shouting at my television during Blackhawks games. Regardless of one’s political leanings, we’re all taxpayers and citizens of a state that benefits when public policy matters are robustly debated. How robustly can anything be debated when House Speaker Mi-

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons chael Madigan has a stranglehold on Springfield? I don’t know Pat Brady, but I’ll take him at his word that he is leaving the position to spend more time with his family, including his wife who is battling ovarian cancer. But Brady was under fire from within the party for several months after publicly stating that he personally supported gay marriage. That was enough for Republicans like state Sen. Jim Oberweis, who dramatically lowered his own political aspirations and was elected in his district in 2012. Oberweis should be an expert at Illinois politics since he has been losing elections for governor, U.S. Senate and Congress for a decade. What people like Oberweis can tolerate the least is tolerance, which is

also exactly why Republicans have so much difficulty on a statewide level. I wish the best for Pat Brady and his wife, Julie. I can only imagine that dealing with what the family has been going through puts things in perspective. Personal tribulations help people value what’s important and what’s not. Perhaps it helped Brady realize that fighting the right of consenting adults from entering into state-sanctioned marriage is not important. It took guts to state his personal beliefs, and he paid for it with attacks to force his ouster. There should be a place in the GOP for social conservatives and moderates. When social moderates are shouted down in primaries by fringe elements who are never going to vote for a Democrat anyway, Illinois voters are often left with GOP candidates who can’t win statewide contests. Notice that the only statewide officeholders in Illinois are U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka and Treasurer Dan Ruther-

ford – all social moderates who supported Brady’s comments and fought against his removal. This isn’t quantum physics. It’s politics. There’s a big world outside our Twitterverse, AM radio dials and blogospheres. The rest of the world is unimpressed by mere volume and typing in CAPITAL LETTERS. What’s really disappointing is that Republicans have some good ideas when it comes to fiscal matters that are crushing this state. Are we going into $200 billion in debt because the pension system is broken or because two guys are listed together on the wedding registry at Target? Illinois voters need to wake up and pay far more attention to primaries, and if the GOP puts in a new chairman who’s more like Oberweis than Brady, they’d better ignore him.

Energy West general manager Nick Bohr told the Great Falls Tribune that workers discarded several boxes of expired scratch-and-sniff cards in Great Falls. But when the garbage truck picked them up and compressed the load, Bohr said “it was the same as if they had scratched them.” The odor prompted numerous false alarms and building evacuations as the garbage truck traveled through Great Falls on Wednesday morning.

did not indicate what the other suspects’ roles might have been. What’s more, police say they have proof that diamonds found in Switzerland were part of the cache that was spirited away in the brazen Feb. 18 robbery that ranks among the biggest diamond heists of recent times. After two months of investigation on some of the suspects, police moved in. Suspects in France and Switzerland were detained on Tuesday, and the following day Belgian police carried out a massive operation, with 250 police involved in 40 house searches. “In Switzerland, we have

found diamonds that we can already say are coming from the heist, and in Belgium large amounts of money have been found. And the investigation is still ongoing,” said Jean-Marc Meilleur, a spokesman for the Brussels prosecutor’s office. He said police had also found luxury cars. Meilleur was scant on detail, yielding no clues how police got on the trail of the suspects. Authorities were expected to announce later Wednesday how many of the detainees would be charged and arrested. In Geneva, a police statement said that “a very important quantity of diamonds

was seized” during the sweep “coming from the spectacular heist at Brussels airport.” While Belgian authorities spoke of six detentions in Switzerland, Geneva police put it at eight, including a businessman and a lawyer. Authorities were alerted when suddenly a member of a major criminal organization appeared in their city. The value of the diamonds was still being estimated. It was the first breakthrough in a robbery that many had started comparing to an “Ocean’s Eleven”-type Hollywood script for its clinically clean execution during which no one was injured.

Former U.S. official describes Libya attack By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A former top diplomat in Libya on Wednesday delivered a riveting minute-by-minute account of the chaotic events during the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last September, with a 2 a.m. call from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and confusion about

the fate of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. In a slow, halting and sometimes emotional voice, Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission who was in Tripoli, described for a House committee how a routine day on Sept. 11, 2012, quickly devolved as insurgents launched two nighttime attacks on the facility in eastern Libya, killing Stevens and three other Americans.

The hours-long hearing produced no major revelation while reviving disputes over the widely debunked comments made by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attacks and the inability of the U.S. military to respond quickly. “I don’t think there’s a smoking gun today. I don’t think there’s a lukewarm slingshot,” said Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis.

The session exposed bitter partisan divisions as Republicans who are pressing ahead with the investigation eight months after the attacks insist the Obama administration is covering up information and Democrats decry politicization of a national security issue. A scathing independent review in December faulted the State Department for inadequate security at the mis-

sion, but it has not been the final word. Nor has congressional testimony from former Obama Cabinet officials and military leaders. In a jam-packed hearing room where Republicans and Democrats furiously traded charges, the soft-spoken Hicks presented a lengthy recollection of the events and expressed frustration with a military that he argued could have prevented the second at-

tack. Hicks and two other State Department witnesses criticized the review conducted by former top diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Gen. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Their complaints centered on a report they consider incomplete, with individuals who weren’t interviewed and a focus on the assistant secretary level and lower.

Ill. medical marijuana bill moves Cleveland man charged with rape, By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Leading Illinois law enforcement organizations stepped up their opposition Wednesday to legalizing marijuana for medicinal use, warning Gov. Pat Quinn in a letter about lax motorist safeguards on a day a committee moved the measure to the Senate floor. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association called on Quinn and transportation officials to speak up on the proposal, which would allow people with specific, debilitating illnesses to use marijuana for pain relief. The Senate Executive Committee endorsed the idea 10-5 after an emotional, highly personal hearing in which one lawmak-

er broke down while discussing how his late father might have benefited from the drug in dealing with cancer. Police oppose the measure, which got House approval last month, because they say there’s no clear-cut way to determine whether a motorist is driving under the influence of marijuana. The legislation states that federally approved field-sobriety tests are adequate to determine impairment, but Greg Sullivan, executive director of the sheriffs’ association, said they aren’t and predicted judges would toss out marijuana-related DUI cases as a result. The bill would require anyone with a medical marijuana permit to submit to a field sobriety test during a police traffic stop. Sen. William Haine, an Alton Democrat sponsoring

the measure, said such “divided attention” tests – balancing and listening to instructions, for example – are admissible in court and elucidating as to a motorist’s state. “It shows the ability to have your attention focused or not,” Haine said after the hearing. “So, I don’t see the beef.” But the police organizations say that the field tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration haven’t been shown conclusively to be effective in determining impairment by marijuana. And blood and urine tests wouldn’t be effective because THC, the mind-altering chemical in marijuana, stays in a person’s system for weeks, Jacksonville police Chief Anthony Grootens told the committee.

DNR: Ill. losing too much Lake Michigan water

Worcester police: Get suspect’s body out of city

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources wants to change permit regulations for local communities that use Lake Michigan water. The proposal is an effort to document and slow the loss of lake water. The agency says leaky pipes and insufficient outdoor water-use standards are just some of the problems among the more than 200 Illinois communities that use Lake Michigan water. The leaks result in a loss of at least 26 billions of gallons of water per year. The DNR wants to begin collecting better information about water loss and modernize

BOSTON – The dispute over where to bury suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev escalated Wednesday as a Massachusetts police chief urged someone to step forward with a cemetery plot, saying: “We are not barbarians. We bury the dead.” Worcester police Chief Gary Gemme’s plea came a day after he said that a deal struck Monday to bury the 26-year-old’s remains at a state prison site dissolved, with state officials no longer offering cooperation Tuesday. State corrections officials didn’t immediately return a phone message Wednesday.

8BRIEFS FAA to staff 72 airport control towers at night WASHINGTON – Seventy-two 72 airport towers and other air traffic control facilities that were slated to close at night due to budget cuts will get to stay open, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday. The FAA announced earlier this year that it would eliminate midnight shifts of air traffic controllers at 69 airport towers and two regional approach control facilities to meet across-theboard, automatic spending cuts required by Congress. Among the airports that were on the list to lose overnight controller staffing were Chicago’s Midway International, General Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee, Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico,

kidnapping in three disappearances The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – A Cleveland man arrested after three women missing for a decade were found alive at his rundown home was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and raping them. Prosecutors brought no charges against his brothers, saying there was no evidence they had any part in the crime. Ariel Castro, 52, was charged with four counts of kidnapping – covering all three captives and the daughter born to one of them while she was held – and three counts of rape against the three women. The former school bus driver owns the peeling home where the women were rescued on Monday, after one of them broke through a screen door while Castro apparently was away. At a news conference, authorities gave few details on the women’s ordeal. But police said earlier that they were apparently bound with ropes and chains, and a city councilman briefed on the case, Brian Cummins, said they were subjected to prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and suffered miscarriages. “We know that the victims

Castro was in custody and couldn’t be reached for comment. A brother-in-law has said the family was “shocked” after hearing about the women at the home.

Syria says web outage was a technical problem

Commander cites ‘rot’ in nuke force By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel demanded more information Wednesday after the Air Force removed 17 launch officers from duty at a nuclear missile base in North Dakota over what a commander called “rot” in the force. The Air Force struggled to explain, acknowledging concern about an “attitude problem” but telling Congress the weapons were secure. Hagel reacted strongly after The Associated Press reported the unprecedented

sidelining of the officers at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., where one of their commanders complained of “such rot” that even the willful violation of safety rules – including a possible compromise of launch codes – was tolerated. The AP quoted from an internal email written by Lt. Col. Jay Folds, deputy commander of the 91st Operations Group, which is responsible for all Minuteman 3 missile launch crews at Minot. He lamented the remarkably poor reviews they received in a March inspection. Their missile launch skills were rated “marginal,”

which the Air Force told the AP was the equivalent of a “D’’ grade. “We are, in fact, in a crisis right now,” Folds wrote in the email to his subordinates. In response, the Air Force said the problem does not suggest a lack of proper control over the nuclear missiles but rather was a symptom of turmoil in the ranks. “The idea that we have people not performing to the standard we expect will never be good and we won’t tolerate it,” Gen. Mark Welsh, the service’s top general, said when questioned about the problem at a congressional

hearing on budget issues. Underlying the Minot situation is a sense among some that the Air Force’s nuclear mission is a dying field, as the government considers further reducing the size of the U.S. arsenal. Welsh noted that because there are a limited number of command positions to which missile launch officers can aspire within the nuclear force, those officers tend to believe they have no future. “That’s actually not the case, but that’s the view when you’re in the operational force,” Welsh said. “We have to deal with that.”

BEIRUT – A problem with a fiber optics cable was responsible for an Internet outage that cut off civil war-ravaged Syria from the rest of the world for nearly 20 hours, state media said Wednesday. Internet service stopped abruptly Tuesday evening, prompting speculation that the regime had pulled the plug, possibly as a cover for military action. However, no large-scale military offensives were reported Wednesday and the opposition did not accuse the regime of sabotage. In the past, the regime halted Internet service in selected areas during government offensives to disrupt communication among rebel fighters. The last nationwide outage, for two days in November, coincided with a major military operation near the capital, Damascus, and its international airport. A U.S.-based Web watcher said the problem would have to occur somewhere inside Syria for the entire country to be affected, although it was

Jodi Arias convicted of first-degree murder The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX – Jodi Arias was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday in the gruesome killing of her one-time boyfriend in Arizona after a four-month trial that captured headlines with lurid tales of sex, lies, religion and a salacious relationship that ended in a blood bath. Arias fought back tears, and family members of the victim wept and hugged each other as the verdict was announced in the hushed, packed courtroom. Outside, a huge crowd that had gathered on the courthouse steps screamed, whistled and cheered the news in a case that has attracted fans from across the country who traveled to Phoenix to be close to the proceedings. Some chanted, “USA, USA, USA!” The jury of eight men and four women took about 15 hours to reach its verdict after four months of testimony, including 18 days on the witness stand by the 32-year-old

blamed the killing on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense. Testimony began in early January, with Arias eventually spending 18 days on the witness stand. The trial quickly snowballed into a made-forthe-tabloids drama, garnering daily coverage from cable news networks and spawning a virtual cottage industry for talk shows, legal experts and even Arias, who used her

impossible to tell from a distance exactly what happened. Jim Cowie of Renesys, a company that monitors online traffic, said Syria is serviced by three underwater cables, but a problem in one of those would not be sufficient to cut off Internet nationwide. Preventing Internet access has become a tool of last resort for governments trying to suppress unrest, particularly during the Arab Spring protests that eventually toppled leaders in four countries. Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring, experienced frequent Internet disruptions during its period of mass protests, while service in Egypt was shut down for almost a week ahead of the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. The Internet has also been an important tool in the bloody battle to topple Assad, now in its third year. With the Syrian government restricting foreign media access to the country, anti-regime activists talking on Skype and amateur videos posted online became important sources of information.

notoriety to sell artwork she made in jail. Jurors got the case Friday afternoon. They deliberated for two full days this week before reaching a decision late Wednesday morning. The verdict was announced at about 2 p.m. local time. The trial will move into a phase during which prosecutors will argue the killing was committed in an especially cruel, heinous and depraved manner, called the “aggravation” phase. Both sides may call witnesses and show evidence during a mini trial of sorts. If the jury determines the killing was cruel, heinous and depraved, then another phase will begin to determine whether she should get the death penalty. A mob of spectators gathered outside the courthouse to learn the verdict, while TV crews, media trucks and reporters lined nearby streets. Family and friends of Alexander wore blue ribbons and wristbands with the words “Justice For Travis.”

Board extends state of emergency Cullerton: Measure is constitutional • DAMAGE Continued from page A1 disaster areas as a result of April’s flooding. While that declaration frees up access to state resources, it allows the state to ask for federal assistance should the disaster exceed the state’s ability to handle it. The number of affected

homes could change as FEMA and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency continue to analyze their assessments, Christensen said. The County Board on Tuesday unanimously voted to extend the state of emergency declared last month by Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock. Board members last month waived all permit fees through year’s end related to

repairing damage from the flooding. Preliminary data conclude the Fox River at the McHenry tailwater reached a historic crest of almost 7.5 feet, breaking a 26-year-old record of 7.2 feet. The National Weather Service predicts that thunderstorms will be likely Thursday, and there is a slight chance of rain Saturday.

Juniors Kyle Ward and John Los create their own propaganda posters for their U.S. History blended learning course that meets Mondays and Thursdays. Huntley High School and the school board has engineered the new blended learning system in which students are required to come to class only twice a week and much of the work is done online.

because it gives a choice in benefits tirement, they would receive smaller cost-of-living adjustments. Cullerton says under his plan, the annual pension payment would be about $850 million less in 2015 than is currently scheduled. But the hearing also provided an indication of the tough road ahead for the legislation. Bob Pinkerton, vice president of the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, said his organization – which represents about 35,000 retired teachers – wasn’t involved in the negotiations with Cullerton and doesn’t support the bill. He said the association could file a lawsuit if the legislation is enacted because retirees shouldn’t have to choose between cost-of-living adjustments and health insurance. “Either jump off a cliff or I’ll shoot you is not a very good choice,” Pinkerton said. And the We Are One Illinois coalition’s support came with a firm warning that if any substantive changes are made, the union coalition will drop its support. “Our position today is this is a final, bottom line agreement,” Carrigan said. Republicans argued the legislation doesn’t save enough money. Senate Republicans had wanted Cullerton

• PENSION Continued from page A1 as currently written. The Chicago Democrat also believes the bill is the only approach to pension reform that is constitutional. The union coalition that negotiated the deal, We Are One Illinois, represents more than 1 million members. The group’s leaders already have said they will oppose a competing pension-reform measure that was approved in the House last week. They say the House bill, sponsored by House Speaker Michael Madigan, violates a provision of the state constitution that says pension benefits cannot be reduced. “Clearly this [unionbacked bill] is a stronger argument for the constitutionality than the other options that are out there,” Cullerton said Wednesday. Cullerton said the measure is constitutional because it gives a choice in benefits. Current workers would choose among three different benefit packages, while retirees would choose between two. For example, workers who want to receive 3 percent cost-of-living increases compounded annually wouldn’t get health insurance. If they want health insurance in re-

to call Madigan’s legislation in their chamber, but the Senate President opted to move forward with the union deal. “I just don’t think this solves the problem,” said Sen. Matt Murphy, a Republican from Palatine. And whether the measure has any hope of getting a vote in the House remains to be seen. Madigan prefers his bill, which unilaterally cuts benefits and which the Chicago Democrat says would reduce the annual pension payment by about $1.8 billion in the first year. Cullerton believes the cuts in Madigan’s bill are unconstitutional, and says if the Illinois Supreme Court throws out the law, the savings would actually be zero. Illinois has the nation’s worst state pension crisis, due largely to years of lawmakers skipping or shorting their payments to the state’s five retirement systems. The massive unfunded liability has put pressure on other areas of the state budget and prompted credit rating agencies to give Illinois the lowest credit rating of any state in the country. The bond houses have warned that another downgrade could occur if the General Assembly doesn’t take action by the end of the legislative session, which is scheduled for May 31.

Pasco: System modeled after college Each count of fraud carries max 20 years • INDEPENDENCE Continued from page A1 New model of learning District 158 is not alone in offering blended learning: In Illinois, a survey of 210 public high schools conducted in 2011 by Babson Survey Research Group found that nearly 23 percent had students enrolled in a blended learning course. But Burkey and Pasco aim to distinguish Huntley High School’s program. District 158 is designing its system – instead of buying the online content – based on a combination of existing models. District teachers, not other providers, direct the online learning components. The costs for blended classes are no more than for traditional classes, Burkey said. The program is designed to let students learn at their own pace. Online assignments must be completed before an assigned due date, and students must attend 47-minute classes twice a week. Those needing it can come to class five days a week for extra help. Pasco said the district is determining the benchmark students need to meet to register for a blended class. This year, it was open to upperclassmen who wanted to experiment with a different learning environment. Blended learning classes were held during first- or eighth-period classes, so students could come late or leave early if not required to be in

the classroom. With the program’s expansion, there are hopes of building conference rooms for collaborative work and expanding the library.

Providing depth Pasco said the program was designed to encourage students to take ownership of their education, and to teach independence, time management skills and self-discipline. “I think learning the skill of working on your own is one of the most important things we learn in school,” Burkey said. Some teachers are concerned that unless self-motivated, trusting high school students to discipline themselves is idealistic. “Too much with education we go on faith,” Spanish teacher Laura Devlin said. “You expect [honest hard work] from somebody getting their master’s degree because they’re an adult. You expect, as [fouryear college students] get into their higher-level classes, they’re invested because of their intellect and their desire for learning.” Devlin wants to believe that students take her Spanish class because they want to learn the language, but said that in reality kids take it because it’s required. Pasco said built-in safeguards prevent the system from falling victim to ideal expectations. One goal of blended learning is to prepare students for the next level, but it doesn’t expect total independence.

“It is modeled after [college] with the safety net of high school,” Pasco said. “We will support teachers saying, ‘This is what’s good for this student – they need to be in here every day.’” Burkey said blended learning at Huntley High School will never be just online, noting that he thinks the student-teacher relationship is an important part of learning. Several students in Pasco’s Advanced Placement U.S. history blended class said that since she can provide individual attention more often, the student-teacher relationship is improved. Junior Adam Urbanski said it took time but ultimately it was easy to adapt to a new teaching style and learning environment. Several students said they preferred the challenge offered by blended classes. “It gives you more freedom, and it makes you have to use your resources instead of relying on the teacher to give you information,” junior Michelle Caputi said. Biology teacher Jeff Robinson has found it allows for more in-depth teaching, as he can provide base knowledge on given content before he even sees students. “I might not be laying the foundation – they may have done that independently online,” he said. “And then I can immediately supplement and build on that foundation that they have right when they walk into the room on the first day of a unit.”

Taxpayers earn road maintenance Taxpayers should expect to receive some return in services for the taxes they pay to local, state and federal governments. Some returns aren’t exactly tangible. We don’t see the U.S. military in action on a regular basis, for example, but we know that national defense is a wise investment of our hard-earned tax dollars and trust that our military is doing its best to keep us For the record safe. The most tanThere’s a group of McHenry gible of taxpayCounty residents who pay a er-supported services are those specific local tax without a tangible return in service. provided by local governments. Most days, we see the benefits of our schools, of our local police and fire departments, of the transportation crews who clear our roads of snow in the winter, or fix them in the spring and summer. But there’s a group of McHenry County residents who pay a specific local tax without a tangible return in service. Residents who live along about 100 miles of nondedicated roads in McHenry, Nunda and Algonquin townships pay township road and bridge taxes, but none of those tax dollars go toward maintenance of these nondedicated roads. It’s a complex issue that dates to the earliest years of this county’s formation. Many of these roads weren’t built to today’s standards, and laws exist now that establish strict standards for publicly maintained roadways. A group of homeowners who live on these types of streets has formed the Non-Dedicated Roads Coalition in an effort to get the county and townships to take over maintenance of these roads. We support their efforts, but realize solutions might need to come from the state capital since it involves state standards for publicly maintained roads. McHenry County’s representatives in the General Assembly should take on this issue. After the current session is over and meaningful pension reform is passed (we hope), we urge our state representatives and senators to work with county and township officials on finding a solution to this problem. As we’ve said, these homeowners deserve to see a return on their tax investment.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Not Lincoln’s words To the Editor: Frank Musial’s May 1 letter to the editor suggests that we follow these three bits of Abraham Lincoln wisdom: 1. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong; 2. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift; 3. You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. The problem here is that these bits of wisdom were written in 1916 by William John Henry Boetcker during the time that he was director of the pro-employer Citizens’ Industrial Alliance. The Snopes fact-checking website is a good resource to consult before sending letters to the editor. Cheri Wilcox Bull Valley

China not our biggest creditor Populist politicians are much too eager to jump on the bogeyman bandwagon. They seem not to care or notice that the bumps and jolts under their wheels are the facts being run over beneath them. Consider the popularly held belief that China “owns” the United States because it holds the majority of our debt. Despite what many politicians and fringe groups would scare us into believing, China is not the United States’ biggest creditor. That title goes to America itself. China holds slightly more than 7 percent of the total U.S. debt, according to The Associated Press. But Americans hold the bulk of the debt through the Federal Reserve, Social Security system, pension plans for civil service workers and military personnel, U.S. banks, mutual funds, private pension plans, insurance companies and individual investors. It is one matter for U.S. politicians to zero in on real concerns. It is quite another matter for them to demonize China for controlling our destiny by owning the majority of our debt, when it is not true. Decatur (Ala.) Daily

Confronting bullying To the Editor: I want to talk of past events that fear, shame and childhood innocence prevented me from ever voicing. In elementary school, two male bullies took a “liking” to me. They began sexually harassing my friend and me relentlessly and touched us inappropriately. My friend ignored them, so they ceased bothering her. I, on the other hand, pleaded tearfully for them to stop – this only made them laugh and continue. They said if I told anyone, they would kill me. They called my home, and my parents couldn’t figure out why I shut down and trembled. I ask, what can a child do in a daily sadistic, life-threatening and abusive experience at school? I

ceased talking, cut off my hair and got the most unattractive glasses possible. This was “hiding.” My family questioned my extreme change in behavior, but I’d remain silent. I made no eye contact with others and became what I previously deemed a geek. My classmates made fun of my weirdness, but I feared the bullies and felt I had no choice. Despite these horrific years, I eventually became “normal” (the boys had moved) but still kept silent. I did well academically and socially, graduated from college, and have a great career. But the fact remains these bullies took from me a carefree childhood. To anyone who suspects he or she is being bullied, please confide in one you trust. No one has the right to rob you of who you truly are and who you aspire to be. Amy Astrid Adams Woodstock

Help stamp out hunger To the Editor: Today, nearly 50 million Americans, including 17 million children, are struggling with hunger. These often are hardworking adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days. Fortunately, the U.S. Postal Service and the National Association of Letter Carriers once again will join forces when they conduct the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive. On Saturday, the nation’s more than 200,000 letter carriers will collect food donations in more than 10,000 communities, large and small, and deliver them to local

food banks and other hunger relief organizations. This is the 21st anniversary of the nation’s largest single-day food drive, having collected more than 1 billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2012, generous Americans donated more than 70 million pounds of food, which marked the ninth consecutive year that at least 70 million pounds were collected. Participating in the food drive is easy. Just leave a bag of nonperishable food items, such as canned soup, vegetables, fruits, juices, boxed goods, pasta and rice, where the letter carrier normally delivers your mail. The food will then be picked up and delivered to the local food bank.

for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor. Submit letters by: • E-mail: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

This letter also stated that if there were no more notices in the next 10 days from other municipalities, that I would be issued a check for the balance. On April 29, my bank account was credited the balance. The letter did state that I can rebut the charges by calling a number, which I will do. I can say that I have not used the train station in over a year and paid my one ticket for $20. But for discussion’s sake, let’s say I missed one or two tickets over a year ago. Seems Crystal Lake is taking a turn behind the city of Chicago. I get it. People don’t pay, make them pay. But when I would use the pay boxes, it was the norm to have $2 of change in my pocket since the machines stick from time to time. Guess I should have called on those. What to do? Too aggravating to keep track of the tax dollars I’m not spending there for the next year. So its goodbye Wheel Werks, Bossy Boots, the farmers’ market, Portillo’s, the movie theater on Route 14, Noodles and Co., Menards and all the other places we frequent. See you in a year. Maybe.

Whether Quinn likes it or not, Illinois competing with Texas SPRINGFIELD – Who cares what Texas Gov. Rick Perry thinks? That’s the note that a friend sent me the other day. He was angry about the latest job-poaching trip that Perry made to our state. We should care because Perry might succeed in rustling up some jobs and driving them south to the land of tumbleweeds, armadillos and rattlesnakes. That said, it’s not too late to shut the corral gate and keep business right here in the Land of Lincoln. I’ve lived in Texas and Illinois, and have chosen the Prairie State for my home. I want Illinois to succeed. After all, this is where I have chosen to raise my family. Illinois’ central location and

excellent transportation infrastructure give it enormous potential. But anytime you face competition, you need to realistically assess who you are competing against – and adjust. And Texas is a formidable foe. • We have a 5 percent personal income tax; Texas has none. • For every $100 in payroll, Texas employers pay 39 cents for workers’ compensation insurance; their Illinois counterparts pay $1.10. • On average, gasoline costs 27 cents less per gallon in the Lone Star state than here in Illinois. “With rising taxes and government interference on the upswing, your situation is not unlike a burning building on the verge of collapse,” Perry said in a letter to Illi-

VIEWS Scott Reeder nois businesses. Did I mention that Texans tend to be a bit prone to hyperbole? But still, Texas is doing some things right. It has an unemployment rate of 6.4 percent compared with Illinois’ rate of 9.5 percent. In 2011, 97,450 building permits were issued in Texas compared with 11,809 here in Illinois. So how did Gov. Pat Quinn respond? Our governor pointed to water.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Yes, water. He said Illinois has more water than drought-prone Texas, which puts us at an advantage to attract water technology companies. Well, Pat, pump that advantage for all it’s worth. But you’ll be paddling upstream trying to pitch that as much of an edge to most industries pondering whether to leave Illinois. Let’s face it. The Illinois we love isn’t as competitive as it should be. And most of the excuses we hear from Quinn, don’t, well, hold water. Illinois has the fourth-highest corporate income tax in the industrialized world, according to the Tax Foundation. No one wants to start a business to see potential profits siphoned away for government.

That’s one reason why low-tax states such as Texas are prospering. Our regulatory environment also is not the most appealing in the nation. The high cost of workers’ compensation insurance and other regulatory issues are contributing reasons to why factories are vanishing from the landscape of Illinois. But instead of a reasoned response to these concerns, Quinn points to water. He’s all wet. • Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute. He can be reached at sreeder@ illinoispolicy.org.

CARY TEEN GIVEN 3 YEARS IN PRISON WOODSTOCK – A Cary teen who failed the county’s drug court program and violated his probation is headed to prison. McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather on Wednesday sentenced Nicholas Svoboda, 19, to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Svoboda initially was given two years probation on a case in which he was charged with burglary. Svoboda made his way through the county’s drug court program, which required him to submit to drug tests, visit his parole officer and not be charged with another crime. Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud said Svoboda failed all three. While on probation, Svoboda was arrested for fleeing and eluding police in what authorities said was a stolen vehicle. He also missed appointments with his parole officer and didn’t take a required drug test, Zalud said.

CL set to expand bike routes Proposal includes five new paths to direct bikers off busier roads By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake bikers are on track for a series of new routes that would add 6 to 7 miles of new lanes to a bikeway corridor that could be built this fall. The proposal includes five new bike paths, including

two routes that would connect riders from downtown to Sternes Woods and the Dole Avenue bike lanes. Other routes would connect Veteran Acres to Prairie Trail Path, Golf Course Road to Prairie Trail Path and Miller Road to Main Beach. Erik Morimoto, director of engineering and building

for Crystal Lake, said many of the routes are designed to direct bikers off busier roads, such as Route 14, and toward residential roads to reach popular destinations. Many of the routes will just require signage to direct bikers, but some of the wider roads will be striped to designate an official bike lane.

No road work will be needed to develop the corridor, Morimoto said. “A lot of it is the wayfinding aspect of it and adding signage to show routes,” he said. “The safety improvement is getting some of that dedicated separation between bikes and vehicles.” Eighty percent, or

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The changing of the guard is scheduled to take place Thursday, as Ed Plaza ends his final term as village president and Trustee Paul Mulcahy takes over. Mulcahy defeated Planning and Zoning Commissioner Bill Dustin in April’s election for village president with more than 68 percent of the ballots cast. Mulcahy plans to appoint current Planning and Zoning Commissioner Frank Covone to complete the unexpired trustee term. Covone, who is a postal clerk in Des Plaines, has served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for eight years and has helped run the annual Sunset Festival by booking entertainment. “All things considered, he’s the best choice,” Mulcahy said. Mulcahy said he did have some people ask him about the trustee position, but no one formally applied. He also

Area elementary students make trip to Springfield Kids show off classroom technology to lawmakers By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Elementary students from Lake in the Hills and Wonder Lake descended on the state capital earlier this week as amateur lobbyists, demonstrating the importance technology plays in their education. Carol Johnson, a fourthgrade teacher at District 158’s Martin Elementary, and three of her students met with state lawmakers such as Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, and Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, in the Capitol Rotunda in Springfield to showcase the district’s emerging “One-to-One” program. Martin students for the first time this year used tablets, not textbooks, for the program to learn literacy. Students Sarah Baier,

“Technology is drastically changing how students learn. What lawmakers are deciding on has so much to do with us and the kids’ future.

SPRING GROVE: VILLAGE CONSTRUCTION

Land for Hatchery Park bridge project donated By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – The village is one step closer to building a bridge connecting its downtown to Hatchery Park. The Village Board accepted a donation, pending the completion of the paperwork, of a long and skinny parcel of land that borders Main Street and the Nippersink Creek at its meeting Tuesday evening, Village President Mark Eisenberg said. The property was donated

by Spring Grove resident and Wauconda businessman Gerry Lorenz, who will continue to own the rest of the neighboring property. “He’s been very helpful in the past,” Eisenberg said. “He lets us fire the fireworks out of his backyard.” The village doesn’t have the funding to build the bridge but is in the process of applying for and seeking out private and public grants, he said. Some of the grants require the entity to own the property needed for the proj-

ect. The village also has been collecting donations for projects related to the fish hatchery from residents. The Village Board also voted Tuesday evening to keep its impact fees and municipal donations level this year. The board reviews its fees annually, and typically raises these fees based on the rate of inflation. “We’re trying to promote the building activity so we didn’t feel it was the time,” Eisenberg said.

Covone said he did not want to run in this past election for trustee because he believed Robert Huckins, Denise Barreto and Stephen Harlfinger, who were re-elected, were doing a good job. Covone said he plans to run in two years.

Covone did say he is against a proposed continuous flow intersection at Algonquin and Randall roads. “It will affect businesses in Lake in the Hills,” Covone said. To replace Covone on the zoning commission, Mulcahy plans to appoint Greg Walker to fill the seat for a two-year term. Mulcahy also plans to reappoint Dennis Zepka and

Dustin to the Planning and Zoning Commission for fiveyear terms, Dennis Walters to the Police Commission for a three-year term and Stan Helgerson to the Police Pension Board for a two-year term.

Bob Blazier, the event’s namesake and former superintendent of Crystal Lake School District 47, said the fundraiser is more important each year as schools scale back art programs. “My wife and I are both former educators, so it pleases us a lot to help kids pick up some dramatic skills and learn about theater and the arts,” Blazier said. “It does fill a gap.” Raue Center programs include Williams Street Repertory, its in-house production company; Sage Stu-

New policy changes practices IHSA sets time limit for on-field preseason workouts By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Chuck Ahsmann always has had a specific way of running his Crystal Lake South football program, making the most of every minute to prepare for the rigors his team will face during the regular season. But coaches now will be forced to restructure practice plans after the IHSA Board of

Governors approved a policy change Wednesday, limiting how much time teams can spend on the field in the 14 practice days the state allows for preseason workouts. The IHSA Board of Directors hope schools will begin following the new rules this fall, but they cannot be mandated until, at the earliest, 2014. By then, they also hope to have rules moving up the practice start date two days

two hours rest again required between practices. Coaches also cannot schedule back-to-back fivehour practice days in a move the IHSA said is based on keeping players safe on summer days when the temperatures and heat indexes can reach dangerous levels. “I guess I’ve got to make some changes,” Ahsmann said Wednesday night. “I guess the hard thing to accept is that most coaches understand that you can’t overwork kids anymore ... and it’s really going to force

from a Wednesday to a Monday, eliminating live tackling during the summer contact period and requiring schools to follow the acclimatization schedule during the summer as well. Under the new policy, practices will be limited to three hours a day for the first four days of preseason workouts with a required two-hour window of rest in a cool environment between practice sessions. Teams can practice up to five hours a day three times during the second week of practice, but can’t practice longer than three hours at a time with

With the win, Johnsburg (10-6) advances to Saturday’s

11 a.m. regional final against Richmond-Burton, which has ended the Skyhawks’ season the past two years. The Rockets earned a berth in the final with an 8-0 win over North Boone on Tuesday night. Though Saturday’s championship match likely will produce another close call, Wednesday’s goal-fest was all about allowing the Skyhawks’ offense to blossom to near full capacity.

MIAMI – Joakim Noah was ejected early in the fourth quarter, and Taj Gibson followed him to the locker room a few seconds later after getting two technicals of his own. They had no desire to see the ending. And really, who on the Bulls’ bench could’ve blamed them? “Things don’t go your way, you’re competitors, you want to go out there and do everything you can when you feel you’re being cheated,” forward Carlos Boozer said. “You’re going to say something about it. But regardless we don’t place the blame on anybody else, we put it on our shoulders and we’ll play better.” After nine technical fouls, two ejections and a whole lot of extracurricular pushing and shoving, the end results were as follows: The biggest postseason win in Heat history, the biggest postseason loss in Bulls history, and tons of fresh venom pulsing through the veins of this now-tied Eastern Conference semifinal series. Miami won 115-78, a stunning outcome for a game that basically was back-andforth for much of the first half. That is, until the Heat started embarrassing the Bulls, and the Bulls started embarrassing themselves for good measure. “No matter if you win by 20, 30, or one point, it’s a 1-1 series,” Heat star LeBron James said. “They came in and did their job. They got one on our floor and took home court. So, we’ve got to try to go Chicago and get it back.” Game 3 is Friday at the United Center, where the Heat will have to win at least one game if they’re going to win the series. Ray Allen scored 21 points in only 19 minutes, James fin-

vs. Miami, 7 p.m. Friday, ESPN, AM-1000 ished with 19 points and nine assists, and the Heat led by as many as 46 points. Sure, the Heat have lost home-court advantage when they dropped Game 1. But this domination made the reigning NBA champions look like the clearcut team to beat in this title race once again. “Today, something was different,” said Bulls guard Nate Robinson, who made 3 of his 10 shots. “Not just with our play, just today was just weird.” Noah and Gibson were tossed with 10:13 remaining, and the league almost certainly will review some of the things said and done in a game that was close for the first 20 minutes. The Bulls were called for six player technicals, the most by any team in a playoff game since Boston had that many against Indiana in 2005, according to STATS LLC. “I don’t know how many techs we got. ... I would call that not keeping your cool, not being very Zen,” Noah said. Boozer, who scored only eight points, said he didn’t fault his teammates for speaking their minds – although cameras suggested that Gibson’s language was more than a little colorful. The Heat had three technicals assessed, a season-high for them. Norris Cole scored 18 points for Miami, which got 15 from Dwyane Wade and 13 from Chris Bosh. The Heat led 42-38 with 3:42 left in the first half, before going on an absurd 62-20 run. Yes, 62-20.

GAME 5: WILD AT BLACKHAWKS, 8:30 P.M. THURSDAY, CSN, NBCSN, AM-720

Hawks’ Crawford eyes 1st series win CHICAGO – Deep down inside – way, way deep down inside, far beneath his allegiance to the Blackhawks – Corey Crawford felt a twinge of sympathy for the overwhelmed goaltender on the other end of the ice. Darcy Kuemper, who replaced injured Minnesota Wild starter Josh Harding in the second period of Game 4 of the Western Conference quarterfinals, gave up a 56-foot goal against Patrick Sharp on the first shot he

VIEWS Tom Musick faced in his playoff career. “Their young guy coming in, letting in the first shot, it’s pretty nerve-wracking,” said Crawford, whose ill-fated playoff debut included giving up a quick goal against Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings in 2009. “I’ve been in that situation before. It’s

obviously a pretty nervous time.” These days, Crawford can look back on his playoff debut without embarrassment. If No. 50 is not the No. 1 reason why the Hawks are on the verge of advancing to the conference semifinals, then he certainly is close. Coming off of a Game 4 shutout, Crawford boarded the team’s return flight with the best goalsagainst average (1.39) and the best save percentage (.949) of any starter in the playoffs.

Although those statistics are stellar, a Hawks win in Game 5 at the United Center would give Crawford something more important: A playoff series win. That proved to be elusive for Crawford in 2012, when he stumbled in a six-game series against the Phoenix Coyotes. It proved to be elusive in 2011, too, when the Hawks lost to the Vancouver Canucks in a seven-game series.

RICHMOND-BURTON GIRLS SOCCER

Hoglund leaves to play in high-profile tourney By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com Richmond-Burton sophomore Amanda Hoglund hopes to play Division I soccer. She also knows the importance of club soccer. When Hoglund found out Monday that a club level college showcase in New Jersey from May 25 through 27 would conflict with the high school state finals, she had a decision to make. Hoglund chose the club tournament, and practices with her the Sockers FC Elite Clubs National

8SPORTS SHORTS Teen charged with homicide by assault SALT LAKE CITY – Family and friends honored the memory of a Utah soccer referee at an emotional funeral service Wednesday evening just hours after the teenager who punched him before he fell into a coma was charged with homicide by assault. After an afternoon wake at a community center, a group of men carried a wooden casket with the remains of Ricardo Portillo in silence about a quarter mile to a nearby Catholic church. There, about 200 people – most wearing white shirts – listened to a funeral service conducted in Spanish. The Rev. Javier Virgin told them that Portillo completed his life mission by sharing his talent for refereeing with hundreds of teenagers who played in games he worked.

Singh suing PGA over proposed suspension PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Vijay Singh sued the PGA Tour on Wednesday for exposing him to “public humiliation and ridicule” during a 12-week investigation into his use of deer antler spray that ended last week when the tour dropped its case against him. The lawsuit was a surprise, and so was the timing – the day before The Players Championship, the flagship event on the PGA Tour held on its home course where Singh has honed his game for the last two decades.

Denver’s Karl earns Coach of the Year honors DENVER – George Karl is the NBA’s Coach of the Year after leading the Denver Nuggets to a team-record 57 wins this season. Karl got 62 first-place votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters. Golden State eliminated the Nuggets 92-88 in Game 6 last Thursday night. The Nuggets rallied down the stretch, winning 15 straight at one point and going 24-4 after the All-Star break.

NASCAR panel reduces Gibbs Racing penalties CONCORD, N.C. – A NASCAR appeals panel sided with Joe Gibbs Racing on Wednesday and eased some of the penalties imposed for having an illegal part in Matt Kenseth’s race-winning engine at Kansas last month. NASCAR punished JGR after discovering during a post-race inspection that one of eight connecting rods in the engine at the April 21 race did not meet the minimum weight requirement. The part was too light by 3 grams, less than the weight of an envelope. JGR did not dispute the part was illegal, but argued the penalties were too severe because it leases its engines from Toyota Racing Development and is not permitted to touch anything inside of them. Toyota accepted responsibility and insisted one light rod did not give Kenseth a performance advantage. The three-member National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel agreed and dramatically reduced almost every penalty.

Team heading into it, feeling that would be the best option she could choose to earn a college scholarship. “My dream is to play college soccer and I need more looks,” Hoglund said. “And this is where they find you.” Usually the top high school girls soccer players commit to a college during or just after their sophomore season, and Hoglund wants to be in that crowd. Hoglund was the top goal scorer for the Rockets this season and helped her team to an undefeated regular season. She also led the team in

goals last season, when the Rockets finished third place in the state. College coaches tend to attend more showcase tournaments – where they can watch more high-level athletes at one time – than high school matches. At previous college showcases this year, Amanda about 70 coaches from Hoglund schools across the country showed up to scout. When the showcase dates were released, Hoglund’s mother, Laura,

noticed that it conflicted with the final weekend of the Class 1A soccer state finals. The Hoglunds tried to work something out with the club team, seeing if she could fly to New Jersey and meet the team after playing with the Rockets, but Hoglund’s mother said she was told club soccer regulations wouldn’t allow it. So Laura said she emailed R-B coach Chris Wagner on April 28 and informed him of the conflict. Wagner then met with Hoglund soon after and told the sophomore that May 3 would be her final day with the team.

GIRLS PREP ROUNDUP

Huntley softball wins NORTHWEST HERALD The Huntley softball team defeated Crystal Lake South, 8-6, on Wednesday in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game. The Red Raiders (17-8, 5-6 FVC Valley) scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning to take an early lead before the Gators tied the score with four of their own in the fourth. After the Red Raiders took a two-run lead into the sixth, the Gators (11-9, 3-8 FVC Valley) scored two runs in the sixth, but Huntley added two more in the bottom half and hung on for the win. Ashley Laxner earned the win after going 1⅓ innings. Shannon Walsh hit a home run for the Red Raiders.

Hampshire 7, Woodstock 2: At Hampshire, Jennifer Hurst earned the win for the WhipPurs (8-16, 3-6 FVC Fox). She went all seven innings and struck out nine batters while only allowing five hits. Rachel Lohmeyer took the loss for Woodstock (3-14, 1-8 FVC Fox).

BOYS PREP ROUNDUP

Jacobs ties for FVC Valley title NORTHWEST HERALD The Jacobs boys tennis team defeated Crystal Lake South, 7-0, on Wednesday in Algonquin and got some good news from Gators coach Don Nead. The win gave the Golden Eagles 37 points in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division to tie with Prairie Ridge. Jacobs coach Jim Benson assumed that because his team had lost their dual against the Wolves, Prairie Ridge won the division title, as did the Northwest Herald in the Inside Boys Tennis story Wednesday. Nead showed the rulebook to Benson that stated, in the event of a tie in points, co-champions would be awarded regardless of records. Benson said the division title was a nice recognition for his team, which lost only one point in Valley Division play other than the, 4-3, loss to Prai-

rie Ridge. “I think we deserve to be considered one of the top teams in the conference,” Benson said. The loss brought focus to his team and may have been a reason the Eagles got to 37 points. “We have been battling to go 7-0 ever since that loss,” Benson said. “That loss made us a better team.”

BASEBALL McHenry 12, Richmond-Burton 2 (5 inn.): At Richmond, Devon Gehrke went 4 for 4 with a triple and three RBIs for the Warriors (17-12), with Jack Glosson adding two RBIs on two hits in their nonconference win. Mike Kaska had a solo home run for the Rockets (12-7).

Deerfield 2, Jacobs 1: At Algonquin, Ryan Downing allowed two runs in the third inning and he took the loss for Jacobs (16-8). The Golden Eagles scored one run in the bottom of the seventh but couldn’t push any more across.

Crawford only 8-9 in his playoff career • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Yet teammates have defended Crawford throughout his postseason ups and downs, just as Crawford has defended the net. Including this series, Crawford is 8-9 in his playoff career with a 2.17 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage. “I saw him dominate a Vancouver series two years ago,” Sharp said when asked whether Crawford was playing his best hockey yet. “He was our best player – took us to seven games and overtime. We probably didn’t really deserve to be there the way we were playing as players. And I thought he was good last year. “He’s answered a lot of questions about his play. I feel like he’s been strong ever since he joined the team. There are no question marks from our players looking back at our goaltending.” Plenty of other playoff teams wish they could say the

same. Across the league, either because of injuries or inconsistency, goaltending has become an unwanted drama at the worst possible time. Marc-Andre Fleury might have single-handedly cost the Pittsburgh Penguins a legitimate shot at the Stanley Cup. Carey Price was injured and had to leave the game for the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, and his team promptly lost to slip into a 3-1 series deficit against Ottawa. Meanwhile, the Wild have seen two goaltenders go down because of injuries: No. 1 starter Niklas Backstrom, who was injured during pregame warmups in Game 1, and No. 2 option Harding, who injured his left leg in the first period of Game 4. All the while, Crawford has been as steady as a stream. For that, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville is grateful. “He’s maturing,” Quenneville said. “I think he had a real good start to the season. He’s had some good experi-

ence in big games, and that consistency that he’s had. … “[He’s] just moving forward to the next shot and the next opportunity and being square and keeping a level disposition.” Crawford has had help from his teammates along the way. Throughout the regular season and the playoffs, Hawks players have cleared rebounds and loose pucks away from the net and collected countless bruises by blocking shots from the point. A win today could give Crawford and the rest of the Hawks a brief time to rest while they await their second-round opponent. “We just go about our business,” Crawford said. “All year long, we’ve just prepared for the next game.” In this case, it’s the biggest next game yet.

“He told me that he completely understands and that the showcase was important to me and my future,” Hoglund said of her conversation. “I was kind of shocked that I wouldn’t be playing for them again this season.” “I understand that that’s what’s best for her and that she needs to play and practice with that club team to make an impact,” Wagner said. He also noted that having a consistent lineup throughout the postseason is beneficial, saying, “that was our thinking that that would be best for the team in the long run.”

Safety remains in spotlight • FOOTBALL Continued from page C1 to reorganize what they do and I think you’re going to end up spending more time in the classroom trying to teach so that when you get on the field, you can start executing.” The IHSA released a scripted schedule that outlines time limits, allowing coaches seven full-padded practices over the first 14 days of practice. Players can only wear helmets the first two days of workouts before moving to helmets and shoulder pads for the next three. Though Ahsman said he rarely practices more than two hours at any given time, he admits he will have to be much more structured in how he sets up preseason practices. Teams will be allowed one-hour walk through sessions, but only after the two-hour rest period. Though IHSA officials insist the changes were based on concerns over risks of over-heating, Ahsmann doesn’t necessarily agree. He points to proposed legislation introduced by Rep. Carol Sente seeking to limit full contact to cut down on concussions and other serious head injuries. Ahsmann sees Wednesday’s decision as more of a reaction to trying to eliminate injuries. He’s not certain setting time limits will accomplish that. “If you’re out there for three hours hitting full-go, kids are going to get hurt,” Ahsman said. Johnsburg coach Mike Maloney understands the risks that come with football. He has sensed for a while that change was coming and prefers it comes from the IHSA rather than a state bill. Like Ahsmann, Maloney rarely has his players on the field for more than two hours at a time, making him less concerned about Wednesday’s ruling. He referred to two-a-days as being something from the “Dinosaur Era,” insisting coaches have changed their practices over the years to help ensure player safety. So when it comes to the state telling him how much he can practice on given days, he’s not overly concerned, especially given the climate football finds itself in these days. “It’s not like this is a death sentence by any means,” Maloney said. “For the most part, I trust what the IHSA is doing. They’ve got their own medical committee, it’s a hot topic. “But the game will never be 100 percent safe. There’s inherent risk in it, it’s an accepted risk, those who have played have played knowing the risk of injury.” Maloney said he believes 99.9 percent of the coaches will adhere to the rules, and Ahsmann said there were likely “enough bad apples out there” who forced the state to take action. But both agree that most schools are taking necessary steps to ensure player safety, which lays the foundation for

Wednesday’s policy change. “We’re going to make decisions that are in the best interest of our kids,” Maloney said. “That’s pretty much our obligation. We love the game and we’re stewards of the game and we want kids to have a positive experience.” The policy restricts coaches from using the two-hour rest period for conditioning or football-related activity, keeping coaches from sending their players from the field to the weight room. The recovery period must take place in a cool environment. Wednesday’s ruling also defines the walk-through as a “teaching opportunity” but does not allow players to wear helmets or shoulder pads. It also specifies that a football should not be used, again keeping coaches from possibly putting players in dangerous situations. It also requires players to participate in 90 minutes of practice for 12 consecutive days before playing in a regular-season game. “It’s all good and it was a long time coming,” said South Beloit athletic director Drew Potthoff, who will take over the same role at Marian Central this summer. “This is a step in the right direction with all the bad press football has been getting. We have to start doing what’s right for kids and to keep them safe. That’s what this is all about.” Potthoff said the new policy puts the onus on coaches to plan their practices more effectively. He also said schools will have to police themselves, giving ADs the responsibility of keeping tabs on what their football coaches are doing. The changes come three weeks after two IHSA committees met in Springfield to discuss player safety as it relates to both heat-related risks and concussion concerns. Among those making presentations was a representative from the Sports Legacy Institute, which is seeking to eliminate full-speed contact drills in the offseason nationwide. IHSA executive director Marty Hickman said in a statement Wednesday that he believes most coaches understood some level of change was coming. Several states have moved toward eliminating full-contact drills while putting serious restraints on practice time – something Hickman said he wanted to avoid with Wednesday’s ruling. Others have eliminated two-a-days entirely. “Football safety remains in the spotlight nationally and it was important that our committees took their time to study the data and institute a policy that they felt was best for student-athletes in Illinois,” Hickman said in the statement. “It is paramount that we use a meticulous approach in dealing with such important matters, rather than react quickly because of what is occurring in other states or elsewhere.”

Nine technicals assessed • BULLS Continued from page C1 It was that one-sided. Miami shot 60 percent to Chicago’s 36, outrebounded the Bulls 41-28, and enjoyed huge edges in points off turnovers (28-7) and fast-break points (20-2). The only stat that Chicago dominated: Technicals,

where the Bulls outpaced Miami 6-3. “We got sidetracked and you can’t do that,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We allowed frustration to carry over to the next play. ... You come in here, you’re not going to get calls. That’s reality.” Marco Belinelli scored 13 for the Bulls, who got 12 from Noah and 11 from Robinson.

CLASS 3A BELVIDERE NORTH SECTIONAL MEET

C-G’s Schulz still learning hurdles Soph already threatening to set 300 records By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Psychic powers hardly are necessary to figure out what Cary-Grove’s girls track coaches visualize with sophomore Morgan Schulz in the 300-meter low hurdles. Schulz blazed to the 300 hurdles title in the Fox Valley Conference girls track and field meet by 2.5 seconds, almost making the grueling race look easy. C-G’s coaches smiled, thinking: “Wait until she really learns how to run them.” In Schulz’s third 300s race, she ran one of the fastest times ever in the FVC Meet, 45.56 seconds, only .27 off the meet record set by Huntley’s Amy Fanella. “She’s phenomenal. She’ll try anything,” Trojans coach Mark Anderson said. “She’s so raw, but this absolutely could be her race.” C-G will compete in Thursday’s IHSA Class 3A Belvidere North Sectional Meet and will be trying for a fifth consecutive title. The Trojans al-

ready have the first two parts of track and field’s triple crown – the McHenry County and FVC meets – for a fifth straight season. Schulz, a former soccer player, has been an integral part of another remarkable Trojans’ year. “I kind of surprised myself,” Schulz said. “I practice them every day and that helps me during the race. My form and technique get better every time I practice.” The problem is that Schulz has been nagged by injuries that require her resting, so Anderson and assistant coach Jack Kalivoda, who coaches the hurdlers, have not been able to really turn Schulz loose. Plus, as a track neophyte, they don’t want her to suffer from overload in her first season. Schulz gets by with her speed for now. She started the season running the 100 and 200, but the coaches saw her 5-foot-9 frame and strides, and thought she might be a natural at the hurdles. “One of my coaches told me the first time I ran them I had a good time,” Schulz said. “I was proud of myself. He told me I could go far in that race.” The 300 hurdles are a daunting combination of speed, technique and endurance. Even the best runners

can look like they have a harness pulling them from behind for the final 100 meters. Yet Schulz still looked strong at the end Monday. “She doesn’t know how to do all the drills we do yet,” Kalivoda said. “Her foot’s been sore, so she hasn’t been able to practice as much as we’d like. Once she learns how to run the 300s, watch out.” Big decision: Jacobs sophomore Lauren Van Vlierbergen likely will run the 800, 1,600 and anchor the Golden Eagles’ 4x800 relay team at Belvidere North. She has the area’s best times in both the 800 and 1,600. “I’ll run them both and then decide next week at state if I’m going to run both or not,” Van Vlierbergen said. FVC boys: Huntley and McHenry tied for the team championship in the McHenry County Meet on April 20 and will battle again Friday at C-G for the FVC title. McHenry should do well in the field events with Nate Richartz, Kyle Postal and Korey Partenheimer, and also should score well in the distance races. Huntley won the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, and was second Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com in the 4x400 at the county meet. Hurdler Brennan Bell Cary-Grove sophomore Morgan Schulz ran one of the fastest times also should be one of the Red ever in the Fox Valley Conference Meet, 45.56 seconds, only .27 off Raiders’ best performers. the meet record set by Huntley’s Amy Fanella.

BASEBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 3, HAMPSHIRE 2

WOODSTOCK VOLLEYBALL

Wolves slip past Whips

Mullaney in charge

By JOE STEVENSON jstevenson@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – Prairie Ridge closer Caleb Senyshyn insisted nerves were not involved in the bottom of the seventh inning, even after surrendering a leadoff double to Hampshire’s Piotr Barnas. “I actually just got mad after [Barnas] hit that double,” Senyshyn said. “I realized my mistake on it. I knew what I did wrong. I got really, really mad and just beared down. I wasn’t about to give up that win.” The Whip-Purs’ R.J. Cosigny bunted Barnas to third for Nos. 3 and 4 hitters Michael Laramie and Tyler Crater. Senyshyn threw both batters quality sliders that induced pop-ups to wrap up the Wolves’ 3-2 victory in their Fox Valley Conference crossover baseball game Wednesday. Prairie Ridge (18-8 overall, 9-5 FVC Valley Division) trails division-leading Huntley by two in the loss column. The Wolves have five remaining FVC games. Hampshire fell to

10-12, 3-11. “We played these guys six times last summer and every game went into extra innings,” Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro said. “I was expecting a close game. We were fortunate enough to steal one here. We haven’t won a close one in a while.” Prairie Ridge grabbed a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth on RBIs from Jordan Getzelman and Dustin Thelander. Hampshire answered in the bottom of that inning on Barnas’ second of three doubles that drove in Colin Gogoel. Prairie Ridge third baseman Mike Hallstrom led off the sixth with a shot off the heel of left-handed pitcher Andrew Brown’s glove. Brown remained in the game. “I sat on a change-up and hit it. I hope [Brown] is OK,” Hallstrom said. “I hit that ball pretty hard. I was just looking to drive it up the middle.” Jack Lasswell pinch ran for Hallstrom and was bunted to second by Thelander. Lasswell then raced home from second on a wild pitch that skipped

past Whips catcher Tyler Crater, who could not find the ball. Crater thought he had blocked it and Brown ran toward home plate pointing at the ball. By that time, Lasswell had scored. Danny Burris pitched the first four innings for Prairie Ridge, then Matt Furst was scoreless through the fifth and sixth. Senyshyn came on in the seventh for his third save. There was a moment with Laramie at the plate when pitching coach Andy Deain visited the mound. “We talked about trusting the defense and making pitches count, not leaving anything too good for them,” Senyshyn said. Brown allowed seven hits and three earned runs through six innings. “We rose to the challenge and I have the utmost respect for Prairie Ridge,” Hampshire coach John Sarna said. “I have nothing but respect for that program. We faced them six times over the summer and they were all close ball games. The kids were looking forward to this.”

Final will pit club players against one another • SOCCER Continued from page C1 “It was a good feeling to get moving along,” said sophomore Kortnee Hass, who scored two of Johnsburg’s first three goals – all which came in a three-minute span just more than 10 minutes into the first half. “We wanted to come in and start off strong.” Once the scoring started, it didn’t stop. Hass and Delaney Pruitt scored on nearly identical shots, both sending high-arcing shots over the outstretched arms of Harvard goalkeeper Julissa Muralles. When Hass scored off a header, extending Johnsburg’s lead to a comfortable 3-0 cushion, Harvard’s mission of trying to keep pace with the Skyhawks became much more difficult. “You’ve got to be able to respond when you give up a goal,” said Harvard coach David Abel said, whose team finished the season with a 3-13 record. “But they created their opportunities and they were able to take advantage of them, and once that happened, the floodgates opened. “But I give my girls credit. They didn’t stop playing.” Neither did Johnsburg. Olivia Jansen’s goal with

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Johnsburg’s Erika Szramek shoots while being defended by Harvard’s Elizabeth Gonzalez during a Class 1A Harvard Regional semifinal match Wednesday in Harvard. Johnsburg won, 7-0. 9:29 remaining in the first half pushed the lead to 4-0. Johnsburg struck again only a minute into the second half on Shelby Weaver’s goal, kickstarting a half that also included goals by Sarah Weaver and Abbie Ullrich. And for possibly the first time this season, the Skyhawks learned what could happen when they didn’t have to battle bigger players for 80 minutes. “I think it shocked them a little bit,” Johnsburg coach Rob Eastland said. “They saw how they could possess and knock the ball around a little bit and that settled their

nerves a little bit.” The focus now shifts to Saturday’s regional final, when Johnsburg and R-B players accustomed to playing on the same club soccer teams will play for their right to keep playing. Though the disappointment of past season-ending losses to the Rockets might linger, the Skyhawks also feel like they’re moving into familiar territory, making Saturday’s showdown an easy one to prepare for. “We all know each other and so we’re looking forward to [Saturday],” Jansen said. “But we’re going to be ready for it.”

Mullaney, the new Blue Streaks’ varsity volleyball coach, never sits idly on the sideline. As a hands-on coach, Mullaney said she is hands-on in practice, from playing in scrimmages to dishing out serves to test her players’ serve receive skills. Only 22 years old, Mullaney acknowledged there are some challenges she faces being so close in age to her players. But Mullaney expects the Blue Streaks will adopt her passion and competitiveness. “I bring new ideas to the table, and even though I am really young, I find that my teaching style and coaching style are a little bit oldschool,” she said. “ ... I think I’m going to do a good job.” Mullaney had been an

assistant varsity coach and the freshman coach at West Chicago for the boys and girls volleyball teams. Mullaney wants the Blue Streaks to have fun playing, which she hopes would rub off on the lower levels to create a camaraderie within the volleyball program. “My goal for this first year is to develop a solid program that people want to get into, that people are wanting to try out,” Mullaney said. “You’ve got to get the kids to want to be there.” Mullaney already has met some of the volleyball players when she visited Woodstock on Friday and will hold a team meeting May 17 for anyone interested in trying out to lay out her expectations. The Fox Valley Conference owns the reputation as being one of the best volleyball conferences in the state, however Mullaney isn’t worried about taking over a program that went 19-47 in conference play the past six seasons under former coach Michelle Stilling.

8INSIDE SOFTBALL Athlete of the Week KRISTIN KOEPKE McHenry, So. Koepke picked up her 11th win of the season Monday in a 7-1 victory over Cary-Grove, moving the Warriors into a second-place tie with the Trojans in the Fox Valley Conference’s Valley Division. Koepke struck out seven in a complete-game victory, allowing one earned run to keep her season ERA at 1.60. Koepke, who is hitting .376, also delivered a two-run home run in the win.

Noteworthy A brighter future: Richmond-Burton is struggling in the Big Northern Conference standings, but Rockets coach Stephanie Rasmussen envisions a bright future. The Rockets played conference-leader Burlington Central tough in a 2-1 loss and were extremely competitive with Marengo in back-to-back games. Rasmussen said she has seen glimmers of potential – especially at the plate from hitters such as Samantha Dehlen, Grace Schwegel and Brogan Etten – but at many times, it’s the little things that are her team’s undoing. Despite R-B’s difficulties, though, Rasmussen hasn’t seen her players lose hope. “We’re young and so we’ll make those errors, but then we come back and make the next play,” Rasmussen said. “It’s not that they get down on themselves – they’ll make that next play trying to get away from that error. “We have the potential on the field. It’s just a matter of meshing together, jelling together and putting it together. I see that coming in the near future and it’s going to show when we get into regionals.” First-timers: Alden-Hebron has played in the Northeastern Athletic Conference for four years, but hadn’t won a league title. Until now. The Giants claimed the NAC championship Tuesday behind Sparkle Lagerhausen’s 11 strikeouts in A-H’s win over Chicago Luther North.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was released Wednesday from a Florida hospital, a day after he was hit on the head by a line drive, and hopes for a quick return to the mound. Bayfront Medical Center said in a statement that Happ was discharged after being upgraded from fair to good condition. Happ was taken there after being struck on the left side of the head by a ball off the bat of Desmond Jennings during Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Blue Jays said Happ was

responsive and feeling better after sustaining a head bruise and cut to his the left ear. “I’m in good spirits,” Happ said in a statement released by the hospital. “I definitely appreciate the support of the baseball community. It’s been overwhelming, the messages and kind words I’ve been getting. I just want to thank everyone for that, and I look forward to getting back out there soon.” Happ was placed on the 15day disabled list rather than the seven-day concussion DL. His frightening injury at Tropicana Field left players on both teams shaken and revived questions about wheth-

er Major League Baseball is doing enough to protect pitchers, who often find themselves in harm’s way on the mound. The pitcher raised his glove in front of his face as quickly as he could, a futile attempt to shield himself from the batted ball headed straight for his temple. It was too J.A. Happ late. Thwack! The sickening sound of a sharply hit baseball striking his skull was heard all the way up in the press box. And then, sheer silence. Happ, hit squarely in the sec-

HBP–by Villanueva (Craig). WP–Bowden. Umpires–Home, Andy Fletcher; First, Rob Drake; Second, Sam Holbrook; Third, Joe West. T–2:53. A–26,354 (41,019).

The Associated Press CHICAGO – There were the four double plays, one in every inning from the fifth to the eighth. Mix in a wild pitch, an error and a shaky outing from a usually reliable reliever, and that was enough. At the plate and in the field, the Cubs just plain sputtered when they had to make a play Wednesday. Anthony Rizzo had three hits and Nate Schierholtz doubled home a pair of runs, but the Cubs blew a late one-run lead in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. “We just can’t seem to shut anybody down in the sixth, seventh inning,” manager Dale Sveum said. “We’re getting two strikes on people, we just can’t make a pitch when we have to.”

Next at Washington, 6:05 p.m. Friday, WGN, AM-720 Carlos Beltran had three hits and two RBIs as St. Louis won for the seventh time in eight games and improved to a major league-best 14-7 on the road. The Cardinals went 5-1 on a six-game swing to Milwaukee and Chicago, with the lone loss coming Tuesday in their first game of the season against the last-place Cubs. “We’ve been an opportunistic team,” manager Mike Matheny said. “We make the most of the opportunities that we’re getting, even though they’re not that many right now. And then they’re resilient, they just keep coming back.” The Cardinals trailed 4-3 before Beltran singled in Matt Carpenter in the seventh, and Jon Jay drove in Yadier Molina with a tiebreaking single against Michael Bowden (1-2) in the eighth. Each rally featured a costly mistake by the Cubs, with Carpenter moving

to third on an error by right fielder Nate Schierholtz and Molina advancing to second on a wild pitch. Cody Ransom had two hits and Luis Valbuena scored two runs for Cubs, trying for their second three-game winning streak this season. Instead, the Cubs finished a 4-6 homestand. Beltran’s tying single on a 3-2 pitch was the first run allowed all season by left-hander James Russell, who began the year with 13 scoreless innings over 17 appearances. “I feel like the 2-2 pitch to Beltran could have gone either way,” Russell said. “But that’s the way it goes sometimes. If I make a better pitch to Carpenter then I’m not in that situation.” The Cubs had 11 hits, but were hurt by all the double plays. The last one was particularly heartbreaking, with the potential tying run on third. “We just couldn’t get the ball up in the zone in those situations,” Sveum said. “We were swinging at balls below the zone and that was the difference.”

No company has yet developed a product that has satisfied the testing criteria.”

Peavy returns, Sox top Mets By MIKE FITZPATRICK The Associated Press NEW YORK – Jake Peavy’s back was just fine. So was the White Sox offense, for a change. Peavy pitched three-hit ball after a brief absence from the rotation and the Sox got bookend home runs from Alejandro De Aza Jake Peavy and Alex Rios to beat the New York Mets, 6-3, on Wednesday night for a split of their two-game series. De Aza hit a leadoff homer and finished with three hits.

And that’s catch back up.” what we’ve got to do,” Rios Peavy (4-1) pitched around said. “I think we’re going to a leadoff double in the sixth get out of this funk sooner and threw 114 pitches over than later.” 6⅔ sturdy innings to win his Rios also had three hits, third consecutive decision. He including an RBI double, and struck out six and walked two.

Don Mattingly talked about moving furniture around, although the way the Dodgers have played this season there must be a couple of chairs missing in Chavez Ravine. Two six-game losing streaks and sole possession of last place in the NL West isn’t exactly what Magic Johnson and company had in mind when they coughed up $2 billion for the team and $215 million for their first Opening Day roster. Things aren’t much better 31 miles down Interstate 5, where the team that always seems to be playing in the shadow of the Dodgers is shadowing them loss for loss. The Angels lineup that was supposed to instill fear in opposing pitchers is sputtering so badly that starter C.J. Wilson suggested the club either needed to get a pin cushion out or sacrifice something other than a fly ball. Money can’t buy happiness, at least so far in Los Angeles, where two teams full of big-money players are floundering. Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton have done little to justify their massive salaries, while the Dodgers were better at this time last year with a lineup that consisted largely of Matt Kemp and an assortment of utility infielders. The Dodgers, of course, were the grand experiment in spending, with new owners acting like George Steinbrenner in his prime, swinging big trades and throwing wads of cash at free agents. But even the Yankees – now trying to reduce payroll – have learned in recent years that big salaries don’t necessarily translate into big World Series celebrations. The Dodgers have had injuries, yes, but all teams have injuries. What they don’t have is team chemistry, something Mattingly alluded to a few days ago when he talked about his team not having much energy in some early season games. That’s partly the manager’s fault, because it’s his job to integrate new talent and put the team in a position to win. Indeed, the jury still is out on Mattingly, who served an apprenticeship under Joe Torre but failed in his first two seasons at the helm to get the Dodgers in the playoffs. The same could be said about general manager Ned Colletti. After several years of not being allowed to spend money under former owner Frank McCourt, he was handed the combination to the bank vault under new Dodgers owners and promptly began throwing money at any player he could find. That got the Dodgers Carl Crawford, who so far has been a pleasant surprise. But it also saddled them with a past-his-prime Josh Beckett, who has yet to win a game this season and who pitches so slowly that Dodgers fans who used to arrive fashionably late in the third inning now find themselves getting there in the first inning on days he’s on the mound. Adrian Gonzalez, meanwhile, has been a steady

VIEWS Tim Dahlberg hitter but is suffering from a mysterious lack of power. With Kemp struggling to find his groove, too, the Dodgers have hit only 23 home runs, last in the NL. “I don’t think there’s any magic formula,” Mattingly said after the Dodgers lost their sixth straight Tuesday night. “We can move the furniture around. We can get guys in different spots. Once we get past all the smoke and mirrors, we have to perform.” Performance is also the issue for the Angels, who rallied after a slow start last year to become contenders but who are in an even deeper hole this season. Pujols is threatening to be both a long-term disappointment and long-term liability for the team, which is committed to him for eight seasons after this, while Hamilton is a shell of the hitter owner Arte Moreno thought he was getting for $125 million over five years. The Angels haven’t made the playoffs in three years, and there’s no reason to believe this group of underachievers will, either. The only reason they’re not in last place is that the hapless Houston Astros – whose entire payroll is only $2 million more than Hamilton is making this season – were welcomed into the AL West this year. After losing Tuesday to the Astros, the Angels were 11-21 and desperate for anything to break their slide. “We can try to be more studious and (maybe) sacrifice something and maybe get a pin cushion out,” Wilson said. “I don’t know. We are losing a lot of one-run games, and it’s really frustrating. Those one-run games are the kind that manager Mike Scioscia used to find a way to win. But the manager with the longest current tenure in the majors – he’s in his 14th year – has done little this year other than watch with a pained look while Pujols and Hamilton lunge at bad pitches. It might be that Scioscia’s time has run its course with the Angels. Maybe someone else can light a fire under Pujols and Hamilton, who are hitting .231 and .202, respectively, with seven home runs between them. Or maybe the Angels and Dodgers need something else. Something different. Like owners who understand that the best way to win consistently is to build a strong farm system; owners who sign free agents to fill specific needs instead of simply trying to fill stadiums. Owners who aren’t afraid to spend money, sure. But owners who actually have a plan.

Wednesday’s results

FRIDAY MIAMI* 7 p.m. ESPN AM-1000

What is it that makes fish bite? Have you ever wondered why fish bite what you attach to the end of your fishing line? I do. I think about it a lot. Live bait is a no-brainer, to be sure. The live bait you buy at your local tackle shop is the same stuff that swims naturally in the lakes and ponds you fish. The minnows are the same, the leeches are the same, but I’m not sure about worms. I know that worms come up out of the ground during a rain and then wash into our lakes, ponds and rivers. I just don’t know if they ever wash out to 30 feet in depth in the middle of Lake Delavan. I doubt if fish ever see them there, so why do they eat them? Besides, where do the fish learn that waxworms and spikes are tasty? They don’t live in our local waters, do they? That said, let’s look at artificial lures. Some lures are made to look like live bait, primarily minnows or crayfish. On the other hand, what the heck is a spinnerbait supposed to resemble? Even better, what is a bright pink spinnerbait supposed to look like? No one knows for sure, but I have a couple of theories I rely on. Fish attack a lure for two reasons. The first is because they feel like eating it. The second is they don’t want to eat it, but the lure is aggravating them and they want to attack it to make it go away. A big mama bass sitting on her bed will not eat anything that you can put in front of her face except for one thing. Slowly drag a plastic lizard past her and she will attack it, pick it up and spit it out faster than you can set your hook. She is afraid that the lizard will eat the eggs she is guarding and wants to quickly dispatch it. Lures that have rattles in them don’t make the lure appear more delicious, they rattle to get the fish

Cellphone snoop suspects Hypothyroidism simple friend of having an affair to diagnose and treat Dear Abby: I have a friend who I believe is having an affair. I have no concrete evidence, only a slew of circumstantial evidence such as odd work hours, blocks of mystery time set aside at night in his cellphone’s day planner, and evading questions about texts from females. I have no idea how to approach him, or if I even should. I wouldn’t know how to begin the conversation with him because I have no solid proof. I always considered him to be a decent individual, but in the back of my mind now I’m thinking, “He’s cheating on his wife!” What makes me uneasy is it’s all based on my hunch. I’m usually pretty good with my hunches, though. Any words of wisdom would be welcome. – Nick In New England Dear Nick: What are you doing going through your friend’s cellphone day planner and reading his texts? He doesn’t have to account to you for his time. For all you know, the man may be in a 12-step program or a therapy group. If he wanted you to know what he’s doing, he would tell you. Right now the “friendliest” thing you can do is mind your own business. Dear Abby: I have worked at my job almost 10 years. Most

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips of the owners are nice, and the staff is great. I like my job most days. I had a really bad week recently. I felt like I couldn’t do anything right. The week ended with a really angry text from my boss. He was right. I was in the wrong, and I apologized. He sent me another text, still angry, and my whole weekend was ruined by it. I kept thinking how mad he was, and how in a few days, I’d start my week in the doghouse. I can’t figure out how not to take work home with me. Also, I can’t help but think he was wrong using a text as a means of discussing the issue. I don’t want to make him angrier. How do I confront this issue? – Still Upset In Oregon Dear Still Upset: It would have been much better management if your boss had talked with you face to face about what was wrong with your performance. By now, your boss should have cooled off, and I suggest you have a private chat with him and say if he has a bone to pick with you, you would prefer to hear it from his lips rather than have it communicated in a

text, which was hurtful. Dear Abby: After my best friend of more than 20 years, I’ll call him Tim, told me his wife had cheated on him, I confessed I am in love with him. His response floored me. Tim announced he has been in love with me all this time and can imagine growing old with only me. A friend told me I’m committing adultery with Tim because he is now in the process of leaving his cheating wife for me. Am I? We haven’t been intimate, nor do we plan to sleep with each other until the divorce is final. I have loved Tim far longer than she has been in the picture, and I feel this is a chance for happiness that fate has offered us and we are meant to grow old together. Are we wrong to pursue a relationship? – Conflicted In

California Dear Conflicted: If Tim has been in love with you all these years, he couldn’t have had much of a marriage. His wife’s infidelity was his “get out of jail” ticket, and he took it. I don’t know what your “friend’s” definition of adultery is, but according to Webster’s dictionary, you’re not committing it.

Dear Dr. K: My doctor thinks I may have hypothyroidism. How will he make the diagnosis? Dear Reader: Hypothyroidism is the medical term for an underactive thyroid. Some conditions are hard to diagnose, but fortunately hypothyroidism is not one of them. Your thyroid is a small gland in your neck that makes the thyroid hormones, called T3 and T4. These hormones leave the gland and travel in the blood to every cell in your body. Thyroid hormones influence the rate at which every cell, tissue and organ in your body functions. Hypothyroidism occurs when your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. Your body slows down, creating symptoms such as fatigue, depression, weight gain, feeling cold for no good reason, constipation and dry skin. Your thyroid gland is controlled by another gland: the pituitary gland, which is in the brain. It sends a chemical message to your thyroid, telling it how much hormone to make. The chemical message is called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Your brain is constantly sensing whether there is

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff an adequate level of thyroid hormones circulating in your blood. If not, the pituitary makes more TSH. Higher levels of TSH prompt the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. Low TSH levels signal the thyroid to slow down production. To diagnose hypothyroidism, your doctor will perform a physical examination and some blood tests: • Physical exam. Your doctor will assess the size of your thyroid by feeling around your neck. He or she will check for physical signs of hypothyroidism, such as coarse hair or hair loss, dry or yellowish skin, and pale or puffy appearance. Your weight, cholesterol levels and blood pressure also will be checked. • TSH test. This test is the best way to determine if you have thyroid disease. (I’ve put a table showing the normal, low and high values for the TSH and other thyroid blood tests on my website.) If your TSH level is high, you are hypothyroid. If TSH levels are below normal, you are hyperthyroid: Your

thyroid gland is making too much thyroid hormone. (There are exceptions to this, but they are infrequent.) • T4 and T3 tests. Once secreted by the thyroid, only a small amount of T4 is “free” and available for immediate use. In hypothyroidism, there’s not enough free T4 in the blood. There’s also not enough T3 in the blood. Together, the TSH, free T4 and T3 tests can establish a diagnosis. They also can indicate how severe your problem is. Fortunately, treating hypothyroidism is easy. You take thyroid hormone in pill form, to replace the hormone your thyroid gland is not making enough of. The same thyroid blood tests used to diagnose hypothyroidism also are used to determine if you’re taking the right dose of thyroid medicines. These tests are repeated regularly, since a person’s dose can change over time. Diagnosing hypothyroidism has become much simpler and more precise since I went to medical school.

Rihanna booed, cheered THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, May 9, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Rihanna was booed for turning up late at a concert in Boston, but the audience in New York cheered her on even though she didn’t start on time the next night. Boston.com reported fans at the TD Garden on Monday booed the singer for starting her concert at 10:30 p.m. EDT instead of her scheduled 9 p.m., and without opening act A$AP Rocky. Doors had opened at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Rihanna hit the stage at 10:15 p.m. to cheers at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., where A$AP Rocky also performed.

Redford to produce series

Scranton had bond with ‘Office’ NBC’s long-running “The Office” was a faux documentary about cubicle life. The Scranton, Pa., branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. didn’t exist. Try telling that to merchants, tourism officials and regular folks here in the real-world city of 76,000, for whom the Emmy-winning comedy – which ends its nine-season run next week – had a tangible and lasting impact. Even though “The Office” was shot in California, it was set in Scranton, and every “Office” booze cruise on Lake Wallenpaupack, shopping excursion to the Steamtown mall and after-work party at Poor Richard’s Pub meant real cash in real registers as the show’s intensely loyal fans flocked to northeastern Pennsylvania to see where their favorite characters lived, worked and played. “If people weren’t talking about Scranton before this show aired,” said Tracy Barone, executive director of the Lackawanna County Convention and Visitors Bureau, “they were talking about it afterward.” Plenty of TV series have been set in real places, but “The Office” was different. Residents and businesses in Scranton donated hundreds of props over the years, and the show gave shout-outs and notoriety to dozens of local landmarks, from restaurants to radio stations. “ ‘The Office’ was all about being real, small and real, in the beginning, especially. So it really helped to have a place to be thinking about that was very specific,” said executive producer Greg Daniels. Daniels and “Office” stars John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and other members of the cast and crew paid a visit to Scranton last weekend to show their appreciation of the city, and thousands of adoring fans loved them back. NBC will air a segment on the “Wrap Party” as part of its May 16 primetime tribute to “The Office.”

CNN is planning an unscripted series about Chicago that will be executive-produced by Robert Redford. The eight-part series, “Chicagoland,” will premiere in 2014. CNN said Wednesday “Chicagoland” will explore where politics and policy meet people’s lives in the quintessentially American city.

More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz Redford called Chicago a city with “a rhythm all its own” and said he is “honored” to play a part in telling its story.

‘Restless’ star dies Jeanne Cooper, the enduring soap opera star who played grande dame Katherine Chancellor for nearly four decades on “The Young and the Restless,” has died. She was 84. Cooper died Wednesday morning in her sleep, her son, actor Corbin Bernsen, wrote on Facebook. The family confirmed the death to CBS, according to a network spokeswoman. She was in a Los Angeles-area hospital, according to Bernsen’s spokesman, Charles Sherman, who said the cause of death was not immediately available.

said Wednesday Kelly was a good person who was very devoted to his mother and grandmother. The 34-yearold was found dead May 1 of a suspected drug overdose. Kelly’s funeral is scheduled for today at a church in Atlanta.

Jackson dancer testifies A dancer and choreographer who worked with Michael Jackson throughout his career testified Wednesday she told the director of Jackson’s ill-fated concert tour that she was worried about the singer’s health, but her plea went unanswered. Witness Alif Sankey told a jury deciding a lawsuit the pop star appeared thin and unprepared in 2009 for the rigors of his planned comeback concerts known as “This Is It.” Sankey showed jurors an email she wrote to tour director Kenny Ortega in early June 2009, urging him to try to improve Jackson’s health and spirits. She said she never got a reply.

High TEQ Plastic products maker expands in Huntley By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Plastic products maker TEQ – Thermoform Engineered Quality is going lean with new, more efficient machines as it expands production in Huntley. TEQ, which makes plastic ear thermometer covers and other custom products for the medical industry, recently added a second clean room, new machines, and renovated some of its employee facilities. Like other manufacturers, TEQ is trying to boost capacity and reduce energy consumption through more efficient processes, said Todd McDonald, the company’s director of sales and marketing. It is also making improvements to its lunch room and work areas, as part of an effort to attract and retain skilled employees. “We’re making it a nicer place to work,” he said. “We want to make sure we can draw the best employees.” Part of that effort has included a campaign to show workers the products they make every day save lives, McDonald said. Posters throughout the company’s facility at 11320 E. Main St. show people using the medical devices TEQ helps produce. Other infrastructure improvements are aimed at increasing productivity and lowering energy costs. The changes come as many of the company’s customers grapple with a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices that went into effect this year as part of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. “Our customers are looking to save on packaging,” McDonald said. TEQ recently installed an ecofriendly roof at its Huntley headquarters designed to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and lower energy usage. McDonald said the company has already seen its energy bills start to tumble. “This significant machinery and infrastructure investment will not only allow us to enhance our offerings for our medical device and medical packaging customers but will also help us to continue to exceed the

WASHINGTON – Mortgage giant Freddie Mac earned $4.6 billion from January through March, helped by a stronger housing market. The government-controlled company has now turned a profit in its past six quarters. It paid a dividend of $7 billion to the U.S. Treasury from its firstquarter earnings and requested no additional federal aid. The earnings compared with net income of $577 million in the first quarter of 2012. The government rescued Freddie and larger sibling Fannie Mae during the financial crisis after both incurred massive losses on risky mortgages. Taxpayers have spent about $170 billion to them, the costliest bailout of the crisis. So far, the companies have repaid a combined $62.2 billion. Under a federal policy adopted last summer, Fannie and Freddie must turn over their quarterly profits to the government.

BDC experienced instructor will discuss many of the basics pertaining to entrepreneurship, as well as distribute various handouts with agencies and resources available to help small business owners. ISBDC will offer the “Introduction to Profit Mastery” seminar from 9 to 11 a.m. June 27. This process will help business owners to improve the profitability and cash flow of their businesses. The workshop will provide an overview of the tools needed to take financial concepts and turn

them into powerful decision-making tools needed to manage financial statements, pricing strategies, cash flow access to capital and business growth. Clients of the ISBDC will be provided access to the entire online course offering provided by Profit Mastery. There is no fee to attend, but reservations are highly encouraged. All classes are held at the Shah Center, 4100 Shamrock Lake, McHenry. For more information or to register, call 815-455-6098.

LOS ANGELES – A resurgent housing market, rising home values and steady job gains are helping more U.S. homeowners stay on top of their mortgage payments. The percentage of mortgage holders at least two months behind on their payments fell by 21 percent in the first three months of this year versus the same period in 2012, credit reporting agency TransUnion said Wednesday. The sharp annual decline in the mortgage delinquency rate represents the biggest quarterly drop on record for TransUnion, whose data go back to 1992. “We certainly expected improvement this quarter, as the housing sector is in recovery, but the magnitude of the improvement was unexpected,” Tim Martin, TransUnion’s group vice president of U.S. housing, said in a statement. All told, the mortgage delinquency rate was 4.56 percent in the first quarter. That’s down from 5.78 percent in the prioryear quarter, TransUnion said. The first-quarter rate also fell 12 percent compared with the last three months of 2012, when it was 5.19 percent, a four-year low. Even so, the mortgage delinquency rate is still above the 1 percent to 2 percent average historical range, an indication that many homeowners still are struggling to make their payments. Before the housing bust, mortgage delinquencies were running at less than 2 percent nationally. They peaked at nearly 7 percent in 2009.

8IN BRIEF T-Mobile sells 500,000 iPhones in a month FRANKFURT, Germany – TMobile US Inc., the last of the major U.S. carriers to start carrying iPhones, is selling them at a brisk pace, it reported Wednesday. T-Mobile US, the No. 4 U.S. carrier, said it has sold half a million iPhones since it started on April 12. That puts its sales at roughly the same rate as Sprint Nextel Corp., the No. 3 carrier, which has far more customers. The company said late last year that it planned to sell the iPhone, which helped it keep customers in the first three months of the year. As previously reported, it saw a small increase in customers under its own brand for the first time in four years. Analysts believe the customers were holding out for the iPhone. T-Mobile US’s parent Deutsche Telekom AG, discussed the U.S. business as it reported a 3.5 percent increase in net profit in the first quarter to 564 million euros ($739 million) from 545 million euros in the same quarter a year ago. Earnings rose in part because the company saw smaller deductions for the depreciation of its U.S. business.

Green Mountain extends Starbucks partnership NEW YORK– Starbucks says it signed a new five-year contract to make single-serve packs for Green Mountain’s Keurig brewing machines, a deal that also expands the companies’ partnership beyond North America. The deal comes after Starbucks last year introduced its own single-serve brewing machine, which was seen by many as posing a threat to Green Mountain’s popular machines. But Starbucks has noted that its machine, the Verismo, is aimed more at people who want to make espresso drinks such as lattes. Green Mountain’s low-pressure machines primarily make brewed coffee. Under the new deal, Starbucks Corp. is adding brands such as Seattle’s Best to the packs it will make for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.’s Keurig and Vue machines.

AOL net income jumps 23 pct. in first quarter NEW YORK – AOL Inc. said Wednesday that its firstquarter net income jumped 23 percent, helped by an increase in global advertising revenue. But its adjusted earnings fell short of Wall Street predictions and AOL shares slumped more than 9 percent. The New York-based internet company earned $25.9 million, or 32 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31, up from $21.1 million, or 22 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2012. Excluding one-time items, the company said it posted an adjusted profit of 41 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of 44 cents per share, on average. Revenue rose 2 percent to $583.3 million from $529.4 million. Analysts expected $542.6 million in revenue. AOL split from Time Warner Inc. in 2009 and has been trying to increase revenue ever since by shedding unprofitable businesses and buying popular sites such as the Huffington Post and the technology blog TechCrunch. The company said its advertising revenue increased 9 percent to $359.2 million, helped by higher display and search revenue, but that was mostly offset by a 9 percent drop in subscription revenue to $165.8 million.

Thinking of mom and personal finance The National Foundation for Credit Counseling recently surveyed people’s opinions of their mothers’ personal financial skills. An overwhelming majority, 67 percent, saw their mother as either someone who is intimidated by money, views managing money as a necessary evil, or has never managed money. What mothers may not realize is that a lack of financial skills has the potential to negatively impact not only their future, but also that of their children, as negative habits are picked up as readily as positive ones. Mothers have the opportunity to influence multiple generations by improving their own personal financial abilities. Consider the following statistics: • The NFCC’s 2013 Financial Literacy Survey results revealed that most people, 33 percent, learned their financial skills at home. • The typical single parent is the mother; therefore the sole responsibility is placed on her to demonstrate and teach sound financial habits. • Fewer than half of the states require a course in personal finance for graduation from high school. Accordingly, only 5 percent of FLS respondents indicated schools were their main source of personal finance skills.

MONEY MATTERS Virginia Peschke There is no lack of personal finance education materials. The bookshelves are filled with financial self-help information and solid advice can be found online. NFCC Member Agencies, like Consumer Credit Counseling Service of McHenry County, offer free or low-cost education on a variety of topics delivered one-on-one, in a group setting or online. It’s never too late to start. The first step is for mothers to take advantage of the opportunities available to improve their grasp of personal finance and then look for teachable moments to demonstrate those new skills to the children. After all, the gift of financial literacy is a gift that lasts a lifetime. The actual NFCC poll was taken in April and was answered by 735 persons. Here are the results: Thinking of my mom and personal finance, I’d say she: • Is pretty savvy managing money, and enjoys it – 35 percent. • Is intimidated by financial matters, and avoids them – 21 percent. • Sees managing money as a necessary evil, and doesn’t enjoy it – 26

percent. • Has never managed money on her own – 18 percent. So where should moms go to get help if they are unsure how to handle their finances? First choose an agency that is not-for-profit and doesn’t charge fees for counseling. Check out each agency with the Better Business Bureau and the attorney general’s office to see if any complaints have been registered against them. Agencies which emphasize community involvement will often be funded by United Way and the Community Foundation, as well as other local foundations and service groups. References can also come from friends, churches or social service agencies. Credit counseling includes suggestions tailored for the individual client and the client’s ultimate goals. Every client receives an Action Plan, which details strategies to work through whatever the problems are and is personalized to help the client reach his or her goals. The goals and difficulties faced by mothers may be completely different from the couples next door and that’s why counselors are important. Reading books and listening to motivational tapes may be of some help, but, ultimately a face-to-face analysis of a client’s needs is what is really

Some hospitals charge vastly more for same care The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Hospitals within the same city sometimes charge tens of thousands of dollars more for the same treatment, according to figures the government released publicly for the first time Wednesday. The federal list sheds new light on the mystery of just how high a hospital bill might go – and whether it’s cheaper for uninsured patients to get the care somewhere else. But it doesn’t answer the big question: Why do some hospitals charge 20 or even 40 times more than others? “It doesn’t make sense,” said Jonathan Blum, director of the government’s Center for Medicare. The higher costs don’t reflect better care, he said, and can’t be explained by regional economic differences alone. Blum said he hopes making the information available without charge to the public will help generate answers to the riddles of hospital pricing, and put pressure on the more expensive hospitals. The fees that Medicare pays hospitals aren’t based on their charges, Blum said. But patients who are without government or private medical coverage are subject to them. The new information should help those patients decide where to get care, he said. There are vast disparities nationally. The average charges for joint replacement range from about $5,300 at an Ada, Okla., hospital to $223,000 in Monterey Park, Calif. It’s not just national or even regional geography. Hospitals within the same city also vary wildly. In Jackson, Miss., average inpatient charges for services that may be provided to treat heart failure range from $9,000 to $51,000, the Department of Health and Human Services said. Hospitals usually receive less money than they charge, however. Their charges are akin to a car dealership’s “list price.” Most patients won’t be hit with these bills, because they are paid by their private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid at lower rates.

companies routinely negotiate discounted payments with hospitals. “These charges really don’t have a direct relationship with the price for the average person,” said Chapin White of the nonprofit Center for Studying Health System Change. “I think the point is to shame hospitals.” The charges do show up on the bills of people without medical coverage, many of whom try to negotiate smaller fees for themselves. And they could affect people paying for care that is outside their insurance company’s network. Hospitals say they frequently give the uninsured discounts. “This is the opening bid in the hospital’s attempt to get as much money as possible out of you,” White said of the listed charges. And some people pay full price, or try to afford it, because they don’t know they can bargain for a discount,

White said. The department released a list of the average charges at 3,300 hospitals for each of the 100 most common Medicare inpatient services. The prices, from 2011, represent about 60 percent of Medicare inpatient cases. “Hospitals that charge two or three times the going rate will rightfully face scrutiny,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters. And consumers will benefit from more information about a mystifying system that too often leaves them with little way of knowing what a hospital will charge or what their insurance companies are paying for treatments, Sebelius said. Previously, the price information that the government collects from hospitals wasn’t available to the average consumer, although the data could be purchased for uses such as research, officials said. The department also is making $87 million in federal money available as grants to states to improve their hospital rate review programs and get more information about health care charges to patients.

necessary to help reach important financial goals. Mothers may be afraid that counseling will have an adverse effect on their credit scores. Accredited counseling agencies don’t report counseling sessions to the credit bureaus. While some creditors may report Debt Management Programs to the bureaus, they see structured debt repayment as a positive thing. Reaching out for help to gain an understanding of personal finances can lead to effective solutions for problems. Debt settlement and bankruptcy may seem like quick solutions, but each can have negative consequences which follow individuals for years. While this advice is for moms as we approach Mother’s Day, recognizing financial problems and addressing them sooner, rather than later, is an ideal strategy for everyone. Regain financial health by prevention. Learning how to handle finances sets the stage for a brighter future for mothers and their families.

who own the stock on Aug. 9. A quarterly dividend of that size would yield 1.3 percent per year compared with Tuesday’s closing stock price. The airline also plans to buy back $500 million of its stock by mid-2016. Buybacks have the effect of returning cash to shareholders because the remaining shares they own represent a bigger slice

of the company and its profits. Of the large U.S. airlines, only Southwest Airlines Co. pays a dividend – it is one penny per share per quarter. Delta last paid a dividend in 2003. Airlines then were reeling from a slow economy, travel worries because of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and high costs left over from better times.

Toyota profit more than doubles By YURI KAGEYAMA AP Business Writer TOKYO – Toyota’s quarterly profit more than doubled to 313.9 billion yen ($3.2 billion) as cost cuts and better sales worked with a weakening yen to add momentum to the automaker’s comeback. Toyota Motor Corp., which last year reclaimed the title of world’s top-selling automaker, said Wednesday it expects the strong results to continue in its new business year that ends March 2014. It projected a 1.37 trillion yen ($13.8 billion) profit, up from 962 billion yen for the year ended March 2013. The annual earnings result was better than the average forecast of 912 billion yen ($9.2 billion) in a FactSet survey of analysts and also outdid the company’s own forecast for 860 billion yen ($8.7 billion) profit. Toyota reported a 121 billion yen profit for the January-March quarter of the

previous year. A recent plunge in the yen, brought about by the economic and monetary policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who took office late last year, is a boon for Japanese exporters such as Toyota because it boosts earnings from overseas. The U.S. dollar has gained about 20 percent against the yen and is now trading at nearly 100 yen. But Toyota President Akio Toyoda warned competition remains tough, while crediting “Abenomics” as helping automakers like “a wind that’s blowing to push us forward.” Toyota has undergone hard times in recent years, starting with the massive recall fiasco which hurt its image in the crucial U.S. market and came on the heels of the financial crisis that also slammed its business. Then the automaker’s production was devastated by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan. But

the maker of the Prius hybrid and Camry sedan has been gradually recovering. “In the years since my succession as president in June 2009, we have faced many challenges. For Toyota, this was a period of perseverance but also a period of learning through extraordinary and invaluable experiences,” Toyoda told reporters. He said he was far from confident Toyota was on a path to sustainable growth, and noted it was just “at the starting line.” Analysts warn that Toyota faces intense competition from a powerful Hyundai of South Korea as well as more established U.S. automakers General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. They are all fighting for a slice of the pie in growing markets such as Asia and Africa. Toyota officials were quick to point out that only a small part of its improved fortunes came from a favorable ex-

change rate. For its operating profit for the fiscal year ended March, Toyota credited 650 billion yen ($6.6 billion) to what it called marketing activities, or improved sales, 450 billion yen ($4.5 billion) to cost cuts and 150 billion yen ($1.5 billion) to the weaker yen. Toyota’s vehicle sales improved in almost all regions around the world, including the important U.S. market, Japan, the rest of Asia and Europe. Anti-Japanese sentiment in China, rekindled by a territorial dispute over tiny East China Sea islands in the latter half of last year, hardly dented Toyota’s overall sales growth, despite a sharp drop in China sales that has not completely ended. Sales for the quarter ending March totaled 5.8 trillion yen ($58.6 billion). Toyota expects sales for the fiscal year through March 2014 to gain 6.5 percent to 23.5 trillion yen

Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda speaks during a news conference at the automaker’s Tokyo head office in Tokyo, Wednesday. ($237 billion). Toyota is expecting the dollar to trade at 90 yen for that fiscal year. Toyota sold 8.87 million vehicles around the world in its last business year, up nearly 21 percent from 7.35 million vehicles the previous year. The annual gain came despite a fall in vehicle sales in the last quarter because of the China woes and a sales decline in Japan when subsidies for green vehicles ended.

Toyota expects to sell 9.1 million vehicles in its current business year, with sales growth around the world, including North America, Europe and Asia, offsetting a slight fall in Japan. “What an amazing turnaround for Toyota ... after a couple of years of a rollercoaster ride dealing with numerous recalls and the Japanese earthquake,” said Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book.

Wendy’s net income MIGRAINES & down 83 pct. in 1Q HEADACHES The Associated Press DUBLIN, Ohio – Wendy’s first-quarter net income fell 83 percent from year-ago results that included a big gain on the sale of an investment. But the fast-food chain operator’s adjusted earnings matched Wall Street’s expectations. Wendy’s also boosted its full-year earnings forecast, citing a refinancing benefit. Wendy’s has been working to position itself on the highend of the fast-food sector by emphasizing the relative quality of its menu. The push comes as more people head to chains like Chipotle and Panera, which offer food perceived to be of better quality for slightly more money. To transform its image, Wendy’s is also investing heavily in remodeling its restaurants to have a modern, inviting look. For example, the new layouts include cozier seating areas, flat screen TVs and fireplaces. The Dublin, Ohio, company said Wednesday that it had opened 86 new and remodeled restaurants as of April 30. It still expects to remodel half of its company-run restaurants by 2015’s end. Wendy’s has more than 6,500 franchise and company-run restaurants in the U.S. and 27 countries and U.S. territories worldwide. But Wendy’s is undertaking an image makeover at a tough time for the restaurant industry, with competition growing and people being careful about where they spend their money. McDonald’s and Burger King, for example, have been aggressively touting their deals to in-

For the period ended March 31, Wendy’s earned $2.1 million, or a penny per share. That’s down from $12.4 million, or 3 cents per share, a year earlier. The year-ago period included an $18 million, or 5 cents per share, gain on the sale of an investment. Excluding certain items, earnings in the latest quarter came to 3 cents per share. Revenue rose 2 percent to $603.7 million versus a year ago but fell short of the $615 million forecast of analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue at company-run stores in North America rose 1 percent. The company said its results were impacted by bad weather during the period and shifts in the timing of the New Year and Easter holidays. At franchised stores, the metric edged up 0.6 percent. This figure is a key gauge of a restaurant operator’s performance because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations. Wendy’s now expects 2013 adjusted earnings of 20 cents to 22 cents per share, up from 18 cents to 20 cents per share.

McDonald’s sales hit by weakness in Asia, Europe The Associated Press NEW YORK – McDonald’s says a key sales figure slipped again in April, with the world’s biggest hamburger chain citing fears over a new strain of avian flu for weakness in China. The Oak Brook-based chain says the figure was down 0.6 percent globally. That included a 0.7 percent increase in the U.S., where it recently introduced its chicken McWraps to attract more customers in their 20s and 30s. But it fell 2.4 percent in Europe, its biggest market by sales. In the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, it was down 2.9 percent. The chain blamed the impact of the avian flu in China for the decline, as well as softness in Japan and Australia. Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC and is China’s biggest Western fast-food company, has also been slammed by the new strain of avian flu. It warned late last month that sales at established restaurants in China were down

about 30 percent in April. Yum is also trying to recover from a controversy over its chicken suppliers that surfaced late last year. After years of outperforming rivals, McDonald’s has been struggling to increase sales as it faces increasing competition, changing eating habits and slow growth in the broader restaurant industry. CEO Don Thompson, who took over the top spot this summer, has said that the company will focus on emphasizing value to capture market share in the tough environment. The chain is also working to make its food more relevant to shifting tastes. Its chicken McWraps, for example, are intended to cater to people who are seeking out fresher, healthier items. The company also recently introduced a lower-calorie version of its Egg McMuffin made with egg whites. Sales at restaurants open at least 13 months is a key metric because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations.

Reality TV’s new stars: Small businesses By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer NEW YORK – There’s no business like small business. Mix the high stakes of running a small business with a dash of family drama and throw in a camera crew and you get hit reality television shows such as “Pawn Stars,” ‘’Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” and “Duck Dynasty.” Turning small business owners into stars has become a winning formula for television producers, but some businesses featured in them are cashing in, too. Sales explode after just a few episodes air, transforming these nearly unknown small businesses into household names. In addition to earning a salary from starring in the shows, some small business owners are benefiting financially from opening gift shops that sell souvenirs or getting involved in other ventures that spawn from their new-found fame. Sales at Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas are five times higher than they were before “Pawn Stars” first aired in 2009. More people are pouring into the St. Louis restaurant featured in “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” to eat its jumbo-sized fried chicken wings and six-cheese macaroni and cheese. And Duck Commander, seen in “Duck Dynasty,” is having trouble controlling the crowds in front of its headquarters in the small city of West Monroe, La. “Sometimes it’s hard getting from the truck to the front door,” says Willie Robertson, who owns Duck Commander with his father and stars in the A&E series with his extended family. It’s a big change for a company that sells duck calls out of a part-brick, part-cinder

block warehouse on a dry, dead-end country road. Duck hunters use the whistles, which mimic duck sounds, to attract their prey. Since “Duck Dynasty” began airing in March 2012, Robertson finds at least 70 people waiting in front of the warehouse every morning asking for autographs and photos. Neighbors have complained about the mobs and the police have been called. Despite the trouble, the show has been good for the family business. Sales of the company’s duck calls, which range from $20 to $175, have skyrocketed. In 2011, the company sold 60,000 duck calls. In 2012, the year the show began airing, the company sold 300,000. “We saw a big difference as the Nielsen ratings went up,” says Robertson. Their income from doing the show may be going up along with the ratings. “Duck Dynasty” is the most watched documentary-style reality series on TV right now, according to Nielsen, which provides information and insight into what consumers watch and buy. April’s one-hour season three finale was watched by 9.6 million people, making it the most watched program in A&E’s 29-year history. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the cast of the show is demanding a raise to $200,000 an episode to do a fourth season. Both the network and Robertson had no comment on the report. Cameras follow Robertson and his family as they make duck calls, hunt or go camping. One episode showed Robertson trying to prove to his dad, brother and uncle that he could spend a night in a tent during a camping trip. (Robertson ends up bringing a big recreational vehicle and

You’re parking,” says Robertson’s brother, Jace Robertson, in the episode.) To keep up with rising sales, Duck Commander hired five more people. Every duck call has to be put together by hand. “It’s like a musical instrument,” says Robertson. “Each one needs to be blown into it to make sure it works.” To stop the crowds from disrupting business, and to make extra cash, Robertson opened a gift shop inside the Duck Commander warehouse. “It keeps the people out of my lobby,” says Robertson. The shop sells duck calls, Duck Commander T-shirts and bobblehead dolls that look like Robertson, his dad, uncle and brother, complete with their long beards. Rick Harrison, the star of “Pawn Stars,” opened a gift shop, too. He sells mugs, T-shirts, bobbleheads and

refrigerator magnets, in the back of his Las Vegas pawn store. Harrison says the souvenirs bring in about $5 million in revenue a year. The pawn business brings in about $20 million a year, up from the $4 million before “Pawn Stars” aired. The show, which follows people as try to sell or pawn items ranging from gold coins to classic cars, also stars Harrison’s son, his father and an employee named Austin “Chumlee” Russell. People have been lining up outside the pawn shop since the reality show began airing on History in 2009. The store installed misters above the line to keep fans cool under the hot, Las Vegas sun. Fame has disadvantages. Harrison says he wears a hat and sunglasses to disguise himself, even on visits to IHOP for pancakes with his kids. During an overseas vacation, he was swarmed by fans at the Tower of London

“It amazes me,” says Harrison. “I’m just a fat middleaged bald guy, but people still want to meet me.” Harrison is cashing in on his celebrity. He was hired as a spokesman for Procter & Gamble Inc.’s Swiffer cleaning wipes and he wrote a book, called “License to Pawn,” about his life and business. (Harrison declined to say how much he made on those deals.) He also rents out a 1,300-square-foot area in the back of the pawn shop’s building for private parties. The fee can range anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the number of people invited and whether Harrison or one of the shows stars to drops by. Despite his fame, and busy 40-week-a-year filming schedule, Harrison says that his pawn business comes first. “I do realize that television shows end,” he says, even though the show is coming back for a new season May 30. “I want to make sure I have a business when people are saying, ‘Hey, do you remember that show about four fat guys in a pawn shop’” A show may end, but it’s not quickly forgotten. Hair stylist Elgin Charles, whose salon was featured on VH1’s “Beverly Hills Fabulous,” says he is still benefiting from the show even though it hasn’t been on the air for nearly two years. Fans of the show still stop into Elgin Charles Beverly Hills to get their hair done, some from as far away as Australia and Nigeria. “The phone didn’t stop ringing for eight months after the show aired,” says Charles, who has owned the salon for 15 years. Charles was recently cornered by fans at a Dallas nightclub trying to get a picture of him on their smartphones. “I

can’t even walk the streets of New York without being approached,” he says. (Charles is hard to miss. He often wears shiny, dark, straight shoulder-length hair.) He has been paid to make appearances at hair shows and conventions. “Many doors have opened,” says Charles. “The whole reason I did it was to make Elgin Charles Beverly Hills a household name,” says Charles. He’s says he’s putting his name on a school, called the Elgin Charles Universal Beauty College, which is expected to open this summer in downtown Los Angeles. Reality TV has been good to Duff Goldman, too. Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes” filmed Goldman and his employees at Charm City Cakes bakery as they made lavish cakes. (In one episode, they made a cake for a “Harry Potter” movie premiere party that looked like Hogwarts Castle, the boy wizard’s school.) “Ace of Cakes” ended in 2011, but Goldman and his bakery are still in high demand. Last year he opened a bakery in Los Angeles, called Charm City Cakes West. He says he is “strongly” considering a return to reality TV.

Small business reality TV shows at a glance The Associated Press Small businesses are getting a lot of the reality TV spotlight – for good reason: A starring role on a reality TV show can dramatically boost a small company’s sales. The shows get big national exposure, turning a tiny restaurant or hair salon into a household name. Below is a sampling of reality TV shows that feature small businesses and the average number of people that are watching. The numbers are from Nielsen, which provides information and insight into what consumers watch and buy, and are an average of the show’s most recent or current season. DUCK DYNASTY: 8.3 million viewers. “Duck Dynasty” revolves around the Robertson family as they hunt, camp and make duck calls for Duck Commander, the West Monroe, La.-based business that the family’s bearded patriarch Phil Robertson founded in 1972. The shows season 3 finale was the most watched program in A&E’s history. PAWN STARS: 4.9 million viewers. Cameras follow people as they bring in everything from gold coins to classic cars to pawn or sell at Las Vegas’ Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on this History reality show. Viewers watch as owner Rick Harrison, his father, son and an employee tell customers how much their stuff is worth. AMERICAN PICKERS: 3.8 million viewers. Mike Wolfe and business partner Frank Fritz drive around the country looking for antiques and collectibles to buy and then resell at their store Antique Archeology. The show has aired on History since 2010. COUNTING CARS: 2.7 million viewers. Danny Koker restores and sells classic cars in his Las Vegas-based garage, Count’s Kustoms. “Counting Cars” is a spinoff of History’s “Pawn Stars,” where Koker made several appearances before getting his own show on the network.

Dream home goes up outside Woodstock Jerry Kuyper WOODSTOCK – Everyone has one, it seems, and now this family will get theirs. For some it takes a little and for others a lot. It is a dream home. For a Woodstock family, such a home meant moving from the city into the country, but not by much. The family’s dream home is being built on an acre of rural property in Greenwood Township at Allendale and Queen Anne roads. City limits are a mile

west. Carpenters and tradesmen with Orren Pickell Building Group have the 2,405-squarefoot, two-story, single-family house under construction. “We should have it ready for them to move into by midMay,” OPBG chief operating officer Lisa Pickell said. “The family lives inside the Woodstock city limits now, but they are moving outside the city limits to an open and beautiful area in the country,” Pickell said. “The house is great for family living and outdoor entertaining.” The custom-built house is designed for three bedrooms plus a loft, two-and-a-half bath-

rooms and a 1,600-square-foot unfinished but walk out basement. “It has the potential for a patio and that potentiality more than likely will become a reality before the house is finished,” Pickell said. At the front of the house is an 11-foot-by-11-foot covered porch. “It is very large,” Pickell noted. It should accommodate several rocking chairs to view woodlands in the distance. A three-car sideload garage is attached to the house which boasts cedar siding with stone accents and lifetime architectural shingles for the roof.

Workmen have good weather to finish what has to be done to the rear of a custom house Orren Pickell is building for a Woodstock customer.

• BUILDER Continued from page F1 “What is really neat is that the loft on the second floor is what we call the ‘kid’s loft’ as it is a nice and big play area,” Pickell said. The loft area, which is open to the stairwell, measures 18-feet-by-7-feet. One of the three bedrooms is the master and that suite includes a walk-in closet, “extra-large” walk-in shower, several vanities, water closet, and tile floor and surrounds. “All the trim in the house is stained and really nicely handstained in the great room which also has hand-hewn stained beams,” Pickell said. “The great room opens to the kitchen and what we call the ‘dine-in room,’ which replaces a formal dining room. The design keeps the kitchen, great room and eating area in an open space.” The kitchen features a double island, stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, freezer, microwave, range, garbage disposal) and custom cabinets. “The floors throughout the first floor are kind of cool,” Pickell said. “They are six-inch, hand-beveled hardwoods (hickory). “That hardwood tongue-and-groove flooring includes the kitchen, great room, dine-in room, master bedroom suite and foyer,” she said. Instead of a mud room, this house will have what Pickell calls a “family workshop.” Tiled, it is bigger than a typical mud room and it includes a washing machine and dryer. “I would say, and this is a ballpark figure, that this room has 150 square feet to it,” she said. The house will cost its owners more than one-half million dollars, according to Pickell. “These customers are getting their money’s worth as it is a well-built house, which will certainly last this family’s lifetime and beyond. The quality of construction is unquestioned and pretty obvious. Although the family will move into a finished product in May, the house may be on public display this summer. “We might have it open weekends but we still are talking to the family about them letting us have an open house. It still is undecided.” For information, call (847) 5725252, visit www.pickellbuilders.com or email LPickell@pickellbuilders. com, info@pickellbuilders.com.

BELOW: Metal spindles help accentuate a curving staircase in a custom house near Woodstock designed by Orren Pickell. endured a few rocky years. Pickell, who was based in Lake Bluff, moved headquarters to Northfield and reorganized his new-house design and build operation. He is chief executive officer of Orren Pickell Building Group. In his heyday of building new houses and developing subdivisions, Pickell had 133 employees. He’s down to 20 or so today and project numbers also are fewer. “We have a dozen projects on-going today, which is down from about 70 in 2005 (a high point year),” he said. As in days of yore, Pickell relies on a wealthy clientele for his high ticket projects. Instead of subdivision development, though, today he is concentrating on individual custom houses in various locales, such as Woodstock. Although one house in Woodstock is almost completed, there are plans for a second one but details and the paperwork have not been finalized. Other custom houses are being

built in Hinsdale, Olympia Fields Country Club, Orland Park and the Wisconsin shoreline bordering Geneva Lake. His daughter and chief operating officer is Lisa Pickell. Custom-built houses come in various sizes and, as a consequence, price. The Woodstock house is relatively small compared to others on the Pickell drawing board. For example, Pickell is overseeing the custom construction of a two-story single-family house with almost 10,000 square feet of living space on the shoreline bordering Geneva Lake. The house is on a large lot overlooking the lake with a view of the Lake Geneva municipality in the distance. “It’s a big lot, maybe two acres, with lake frontage, woodlands, landscaping and lawn,” she said. The CEO declined to reveal what the house will cost but said it would be more than one million dollars. “You can safely say that,” she said.

Seminary Woodstock, Illinois, 60098 (815) 334-4560 Fax # (815) 337-3720 These Notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by McHenry County. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about May 27, 2012, McHenry County will submit two requests to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Chicago Regional Office. One request is for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, (PL 93-383), as amended, to undertake a project known as: Habitat for Humanity, for the purposes of A Brush With Kindness housing rehab, in the amount of $150,000; Neighbors Helping Neighbors, for the purposes of Emergency Rehabilitation and Owner Occupied Rehabilitation, in the amount of $75,000. The second request is for the release of the Home Investment Partnerships Program funds under the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as: Home of the Sparrow, for the purposes of Acquisition and Rehabilitation, in the amount of $300,000; McHenry County Housing Authority, for the purposes of total home rehabilitation, in the amount of $120,000. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT McHenry County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at McHenry County Department of Planning and Development at 667 Ware Road, Room 207, Woodstock, Illinois, 60098, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development. All comments received by May 24, 2012, will be considered by McHenry County prior to submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS The County of McHenry certifies to the HUD Chicago Regional Office that Tina Hill in her official capacity as Chairwoman of the McHenry County Board consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relations to environmental reviews, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows McHenry County to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept any objections to its release of funds and McHenry County's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following basis: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of McHenry County; (b) McHenry County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24CFR Part 58), and shall be addressed to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Planning and Development Divisions, Attn: Ray E. Willis, Director, 77 W. Jackson Blvd, Chicago, Illinois, 60604.

Ralph Marston, who played one season in the National Football League with the Boston Bulldogs in 1929, said, “You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities.” This deal has a few possibilities, which you have probably seen before, but one of them still evades most players. South is in three notrump, and West leads the spade queen. What happens if South ducks the irst trick and West continues spades at trick two? What is West’s best defense if South ducks the irst trick? What happens if South wins the irst trick? South has seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts and two diamonds. He must obtain two more winners from clubs. But since he will lose the lead twice, the defenders might establish and run their spade suit irst. If declarer ducks trick one and West continues spades, South plays on clubs and makes his contract. When East gets in with the club king, he does not have another spade to lead.

If South does not win the irst trick, West must shift to a diamond to defeat the contract -- a play that would be very tough to ind. If South wins the irst trick, he does best to play a heart to the queen and start clubs from the board. To beat the contract, East must put up his king and return his remaining spade. When partner’s suit is one lead from being established, especially if you have only one card left in that suit, do your utmost to win the next defensive trick.

TODAY - A new, refreshing personality, more independent and adventurous than your old one, is likely to emerge in the year ahead. Your rejuvenated demeanor will attract fun friends and activities, giving you a whole new lifestyle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You won’t find a better day to decide upon a new course of action. You’ll find the courage you need to move forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is a day where your instincts and intuitions will have free rein. Pay particular heed to those that provide you with the insight necessary to fulfill your aims. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A relationship with an old friend could take on added significance. You could join forces to further a mutual interest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s a good day to establish some new goals, especially if you’ve been having difficulty achieving your old ones. Success will come from a fresh perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You could reap some unusual benefits through social involvements with friends. People who owe you favors will be looking for a way to make good on their debts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The possibility of you generating additional income from unusual sources looks promising.

DVD

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

I’ve given up on buying DVDs, preferring to wait for Netflix or similar digital format to host my favorite “new” releases. Almost. My already-bowing IKEA shelves got more packed this week when I added “Silver Linings Playbook” to the collection. “Silver Linings” was my favorite movie from last year and one that doesn’t pale after repeat viewings. Pat Solitano – a raw and real performance from Bradley Cooper – is released from a mental institution and moves back in with his parents - Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver – to try to reconcile with his ex-wife. He forms a connection with a fellow outcast played by Jennifer Lawrence that may end up saving them both. Funny and touching, it features four of the best performances of the year – when Lawrence upstages De Niro, she sealed her path to the Oscar. In the end it finds the right mix of sentimentality without being cloying and unstableness without going off the deep end. – Valerie Katzenstein

TELEVISION

“Veep”

Of all of the cast members on “Seinfeld,” it’s not a stretch to say Julia Louis-Dreyfus has enjoyed the most successful TV career after the sitcom’s historic run on NBC. Her current role is U.S. Vice President Selina Meyer on HBO’s “Veep.” The comedy follows Meyer through her challenges as vice president. One can only envision Joe Biden’s office functioning as Meyer’s. The show surely stretches the truth, but its portrayal of how Washington, D.C., operates is likely not far off. “Veep” is in the middle of its second season, and a third season already has been ordered by HBO. The show is one of many in a strong HBO stable. If you’re looking for a new comedy and enjoy politics, give “Veep” a try. “Veep” airs 9 p.m. Sundays on HBO. – Jason Schaumburg

TELEVISION

“Family Tree”

In the classic 1984 heavy metal band mockumentary “This is Spinal Tap,” lead singer David St. Hubbins struggles for the right word during a conversation with guitarist Nigel Tufnel, played by Christopher Guest (right). “It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh...” “Clever,” Tufnel chimes in like the better half of the “Sex Farm” songwriting duo.”Yeah, and clever,” says St. Hubbins, who’s name was derived from the Patron Saint of Quality Footwear. Few comic actors or writers walk that fine line more artfully than Guest, who has teamed up with some familiar faces including Michael McKean – the actor behind St. Hubbins. Guest’s HBO series “Family Tree” features “Bridesmaids” actor Chris O’Dowd as a down-on-his-luck 30-year-old who tries to find himself by tracing his family roots. If it’s even close to as funny as “This is Spinal Tap,” “Best in Show” or “Waiting for Guffman,” instead of eight episodes, this one should go to 11. “Family Tree” debuts at 9:30 p.m. Sunday on HBO. – Kevin Lyons

WEBSITE

Setlist.fm

There’s nothing visually appealing about Setlist.fm. But the site is a useful tool for music fans who attend concerts. Setlist.fm is touted as “the setlist wiki.” Following a concert, attendees can visit the site and list which songs the band played that night. Fans can update the setlists as needed. Not sure about a title of a song? Click the play button next to the titles and you’re shown a video of each song. A convenient pie chart breaks down how many songs of each album were played during the performance. While Setlist. fm is a good way to find unfamiliar song titles, it also can be used as a way to know what to expect when attending a concert. Visit a posting from a band’s previous performance to find out if it’s worth sticking around for an encore or if you should leave before the lights come up to avoid traffic. – Rob Carroll

MOVIES

McHenry Outdoor Theater

Going to the drive-in theater is more about the experience than the movie. Though the movies themselves actually seem larger than life when enjoyed under the stars – or even under a blanket, which was the case when the McHenry Outdoor Theater opened for the season to unseasonably cool temperatures last weekend with the double feature of “Iron Man 3” and “Oz The Great And Powerful.” Drive-ins combine the best elements of seeing a first release on the big screen and watching a movie at home. Both films were great, and a must-see on the big screen, but they were made better by being able to enjoy them in the comfort of my car, dogs snoring in the back, as my husband and I split a pizza and cracked bad jokes. Years from now, I won’t remember the plots of either of these movies, but I will remember weekends spent at the drive-in theater with family and friends. This week. the theater is reshowing “Iron Man 3” followed by “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” Tickets: $10 adults, $5 children, seniors and military. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. with the first movie starting at dusk, about 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 1510 Chapel Hill Road, McHenry. – Valerie Katzenstein

Santa’s Village creative director and Crystal Lake native Dutch Akers refurbishes 30 antique carousel horses for the park’s opening this weekend Story and photos by H. RICK BAMMAN • hbamman@shawmedia.com

short walk from Santa’s house and the North Pole, in the pale blue building behind Old MacDonald’s Farm at Santa’s Village Azoosment Park in East Dundee, the park’s creative director and Crystal Lake native Dutch Akers labored in the paint shop for more than two months refurbishing 30 antique carousel horses. The aluminum steeds were made from original casts of wooden designs of the Allan Herschell Company. They were mounted on a 1972 Chance Manufacturing Co. Carousel and had not been refurbished for 40 years. “I took this on as a personal project,” Akers said. “I visited the Navy Pier carousel in Chicago for inspiration. The figures there are more of a menagerie. I wanted a classic and elegant look for our horses.” The carousel features two sets of 15 horses moving in a galloping motion pulling a chariot. “When you look at a carousel going around, it’s not moving because the horses are moving up and down, it is moving because the horses are galloping while they are pulling the chariots,” Akers explained. The chariots are where grandmas and grandpas can sit while the children ride on the horses.

After the 40 years of paint was sandblasted away, Akers primed the casts by filling body blemishes with Bondo. “As much as you would with body work on a car,” he said. Akers prepared the horses with a white primer and started planning his original paint themes before Thanksgiving. He wanted a realistic feel for the ride, so he chose the horses’ colors from the Palomino, Belgium and Appaloosa breeds. Akers learned painting techniques by trial and error and by watching instructional videos online. He used a combination of handpainting, airbrushing and stenciling to create the colorful patterns and detail. Being an avid Chicago Blackhawks fan, Akers included a grouping of feathers in the Blackhawks colors of black and red on several of the saddles. On April 5, he applied the last clear coat of polyurethane, a week before the project deadline. The remaining six horses were installed on the carousel by crewmembers a few days later. “I’m really proud of my work on this project,” Akers said modestly, though he has a lot on his to-do list before the park’s May 12 opening. He already has started refurbishing the two original 15-foot tall snowmen that welcomed visitors to the park on opening day in 1959.

Second half mars otherwise glamorous ‘The Great Gatsby’ “The Great Gatsby”

STARRING: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton

PLOT: In 1920s Long Island, a naïve Midwest-

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF Although I have no idea where to check such statistics, I am willing to bet no movie in history has had a greater budget entry for martini glasses than Baz Luhrmann’s take on “The Great Gatsby.” During the many party scenes, three to four martini glasses litter MORE every horizontal surface ONLINE in Jay Gatsby’s manor Watch the (which appears to have trailer to more rooms than the “The Great Pentagon). His guests apGatsby” at parently discard martini PlanitNorthglasses the way we lower west.com classes discard Hershey’s Kiss wrappers. Luhrmann’s trademark is the cinema of giddy excess, and “Gatsby,” with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, is Luhrmann’s true follow-up to 2001’s extravagant “Moulin Rouge.” Aside from the boggling expanse of martini glasses, several square miles of confetti get tossed at Gatsby’s parties,

erner (Maguire) gets pulled into the world of his enigmatic and wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and Gatsby’s quest to regain the woman he once loved (Mulligan). RATED: PG-13 for some violent images, sexual content, smoking, partying and brief language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 23 minutes and the number of people dancing the Charleston on his lawn may dwarf the population of Charleston itself. Gatsby’s parties are of a scale only Luhrmann can envision, and he fills all three dimensions with frantic fun. No one would doubt Luhrmann’s ability to bring the glamorous first half of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous, and famously literary, novel to the screen. The parties and the champagne and the flappers must have beckoned to him, crying, “Choreograph us to a fusion of jazz and hip hop in a way to make audiences forget MTV stopped showing music videos years ago.” The question was whether Luhrmann could transition to the somber second half of the story, where domestic melodrama leads to a brutal revenge play. Luhrmann, who adapted the script with longtime collaborator Craig Pearce, represents Fitzgerald’s see-saw battle

with optimism and cynicism decently enough, but you hear the transmission grind as he changes gears. For those who ignored their high school reading list, “Gatsby” is the story of idealistic Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) who moves to New York to try his hand in the bond trade. By dumb luck, he rents a cottage among the mansions of Long Island’s north shore and is drawn inexorably into the orbit of his enigmatic and fabulously wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby. “Young men don’t just drift coolly out of nowhere and build palaces on Long Island,” Nick says. Nick soon learns his own cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), is the object of Gatsby’s yearnings. Although her home is directly across the bay (with the famous, beckoning green light at the end of her dock) Gatsby has not seen her in five years, not since she married the brutish Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). After Tom introduces Nick to his mistress (Isla Fisher), Nick sees no reason not to bring Gatsby and Daisy together. He doesn’t see the couple’s shared capacity for self-delusion will lead to disaster. This is the fourth film version of “Gatsby.” The first appeared in 1926, just a year after the novel’s publication. Like most silent films, it has crumbled into dust and vanished from time. The next version, from 1949, is not widely available, but most viewers report Alan Ladd is excellent as Gatsby.

• GATSBY Continued from page 15 The best-known version, from 1974, stars Robert Redford and Mia Farrow as Gatsby and Daisy and was scripted by Francis Ford Coppola. Despite the pedigree, the film holds Fitzgerald’s text in such reverence the cast calcifies before your very eyes. Luhrmann must have looked at the 1974 version and told his crew, “Whatever they did, we’ll do the opposite.” Where the Redford movie crawled, this one crackles. Luhrmann and his key technicians – cinematographer Simon Duggan, production and costume designer Catherine Martin and visual effects supervisor Chris Godfrey – whip up a fantasy version of the Roaring Twenties, where bootleg champagne flows easily and flappers shimmer in their tight, fringed dresses. The camera flies over the imaginary landscape of Gatsby’s realm with Manhattan glowing gold in the distance, the glittering ballroom of the East Coast. So much of the scenery has been composited inside computers, and the colors are so bright and garish, that this “Gatsby” is only a few steps away from a Pixar version, which is a tantalizing thought. Jay Z supervises the music, and he takes the project seriously enough to use his real name, Shawn Carter, in the credits. The blending of two styles of music across a span of nine decades could have been a discordant distraction. Instead, the songs fit beautifully with Luhrmann’s intent, from a Jazz Age take on Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” to a pumped up rendition of “Rhapsody in Blue.” Plus, the world gets that Jay Z/Sophie Tucker mashup it never knew it wanted. Luhrmann borrows liberally from “Citizen Kane’s” vast visual warehouse, which makes sense since Fitzgerald’s novel certainly influenced Orson Welles’ masterpiece. Gatsby’s home, now a castle instead of a mansion, recalls Kane’s Xanadu. The piano mentioned in the book becomes a massive pipe organ that might have been appropriated from a European cathedral while some bishop wasn’t looking.

This is not to say Luhrmann disrespects Fitzgerald’s text. Most of the dialogue is straight from the novel. The film’s greatest departure is not from the story, but from the framework. Nick Carraway’s narration begins as a dialogue with his therapist in a sanitarium back West, where he is being treated for depression and “morbid alcoholism.” Nick further becomes Fitzgerald’s alter ego when the therapist suggests he write his recollections of that fateful summer in the East, and he goes on to complete a novel named “The Great Gatsby,” which carries the conceit too far. Except that Maguire comes McHenry Downtown Theatre

across as too mannered, the cast is just about perfect. Edgerton is the very image of Tom Buchanan, and Mulligan shines as the idol who is less than she appears. Anyone

who can make the line “I have never seen such beautiful shirts” sound tragic deserves Oscar consideration. For one of today’s leading matinee idols, DiCaprio is

often miscast (“The Gangs of New York,” “Shutter Island”) and sometimes he emotes so hard the performance shows (once again, “Shutter Island”). That approach is ideal for this character. Jay Gatsby is a man playing a role, but not as convincingly as he thinks. Whether by intent or by accident, Gatsby ranks among DiCaprio’s best performances. As the warning goes, Luhrmann’s “Gatsby” is no substitute for the novel, but it is way more entertaining than reading the CliffsNotes. The camerawork is so jittery and the world so candy-coated, particularly during the first half, it becomes difficult to take the movie seriously, and at some point you want to take “The Great Gatsby” seriously. Where the Redford version was so stultifying it robbed Fitzgerald’s novel of its energy, Luhrmann’s playfulness cheats it of its import. The correct cinematic approach to “Gatsby” probably will be found smack in the middle. Maybe we’ll see it in another 40 years.

Undreground show keeps it wild By JAMI KUNZER David Baker (top) and Tim Vance in Theatre Undreground’s production of “Hunter Gatherers.”

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

ith Theater Undreground, you can never really expect a typical night at the theater. The company’s latest production, opening May 10 at Civic Memorial Town Hall in Richmond, starts with an animal sacrifice and goes on to feature an evening of sex, violence, deception, wrestling and dancing. “Hunter Gatherers” is described by one of its lead actors as what would happen “if Neil Diamond had really bad language and wrote the show ‘Dexter.’ ” With all shows beginning at 8 p.m., performances take place May 10-11, May 17-18 and May 24-25. Tickets cost $10. “I think it’s probably the wildest and craziest show ever done in McHenry County,” said Tim Vance, who plays “Richard,” an eccentric artist married to a software designer. His character starts the show by sacrificing a lamb. (Just to be clear, no real animals are used. And, as Vance points out, donations of $2 of every ticket will go to Animal House Shelter, based in Huntley. “I figure with all of the dark comedy about animal sacrifice, it’d be nice to donate,” he said.) In the production, “Richard” and his wife “Pam,” played by Katelin Stack, invite over their married best friends from high school: “Wendy,” played by Kirsten Didier, and “Tom,” played by David Baker.

The two couples get together annually for dinner. “They’re like the Fab Four you see in so many high schools,” Vance said. Soon into the evening, the men are wrestling, and the night unravels with other barbaric behavior. Vance and Baker worked with a fight coordinator, because their characters “kind of like to beat each other up,” Vance said. Written by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, the dark comedy is considered to have an “R” rating with adult language and situations. “It’s very much delving into the deep inner-necessities of primal man,” Vance said.

• THEATRE Continued from page 18 Directed by Jessie Juska and Ashley Brown, the show will feature live, original music written specifically for the production by Ian Hall and Greg Heininger, who play guitar and mandolin. “It’s wild and it’s nuts and it’s out there,” Vance said of “Hunter Gatherers.”

“It’s also very intelligently written. It might offend some people, but at the same time, it’s written brilliantly.” The production takes place in a two-story condominium, with a unique stage design creating the setting. “People in the front row are literally going to have a living room right in their laps,” Vance said. “It’s probably one of my favorite sets.”

Man (out) of the

HOUSE ‘Uncle Joey’ Dave Coulier now known for eclectic comedy act By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

es, he’ll always be Uncle Joey. But don’t expect Dave Coulier to recreate an episode of “Full House” when he appears May 9-12 at The Chicago Improv in Schaumburg. “So I guess I’ve been kind of branded as this clean comedian, which is fine, but I don’t want to mislead people that when they come to see my standup, it’s going to be an episode of ‘Full House,’ ” he said. “It’s really my kind of humor.” It’s a humor involving his many impressionistic voices and music – he’s been known to play the harmonica – in an eclectic sort of act. It’s family friendly, he said, but he’s not a prude. “I am just a glorified birthday clown,” he said. “I try to do one thing when I’m on stage, and that’s make people laugh. Sometimes it’s silly, and sometimes I still act immature.” As Uncle Joey on the popular ABC sitcom “Full House” from 1987 until its cancellation in 1995, Coulier became famous for his impersonations. His “Cut ... it ... out!” – complete with hand gestures – became a national catchphrase. He ironically played the obnoxiously dressed best friend of Bob Saget’s character, Danny Tanner, whom he moved in with to help raise Tanner’s daughters after the death of his wife. Coulier actually once slept on Saget’s couch in real life, having met him while doing standup as a young man. Saget became a sort of mentor. Since its premiere, “Full House” has never been off the air, living on in syndication for new generations of families to discover. Coulier once hunted down the number of times the show aired daily on various channels after he disbelieved someone’s claim they were able to watch it four times in one day. “I think we’re on 14 times a day,” he said. “It’s a show I’m really proud of, and I think they just don’t make shows like ‘Full House’ nowadays,” he said. “I think for a lot of kids and parents, it’s kind of a safe haven. I just don’t think that exists anymore.” Like several generations of children, his son, Luc, now grown, was hooked on it. “I remember him laughing in the other room, and then he’d run in and go, ‘Dad you were just so funny,’ ” Coulier said. “He called it ‘daddy’s show.’ If he was ever bad, I told him, ‘You’re not going to watch daddy’s show anymore.’ ”

Recently graduating from college with a degree in aeronautical science, Luc is not following in his father’s comedic footsteps. “Thank goodness,” Coulier said with a laugh. “He’s going to have a real job.” Coulier grew up doing impersonations, sitting on the front porch as a boy and “narrating the neighborhood” with his brother. The two would lay in their bunk beds at night and rehearse the routine. Before long, their father would come in, telling them, “You two, knock it off. I’m sick of hearing Mr. Rhondo’s voice in there. Knock it off.” Coulier could imitate the coach of every sport’s team he played on, and by high school, he could do a dead-on impression of the school’s principal. The principal heard of the routine and asked Coulier to start doing the morning announcements for him. Soon, he was doing them daily. “Everybody loved it ... humble beginnings,” he said. After “Full House,” Coulier did a few reality television shows, skating alongside professional figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in “Skating with Celebrities” and appearing on “The Surreal Life.” He also hosted “America’s Funniest People,” “Animal Kidding” and “America’s Most Talented Kid.” But his most extensive body of work can be found in voice-overs of countless animated shows. Among those are “Extreme Ghostbusters,” “The Real Ghostbuster,” “Slimer! and the Real

Ghostbusters,” “Muppet Babies,” “Scooby and Scrappy-Doo,” “The Jetsons,” “Rude Dog and the Dweebs” and “Teen Titans.” His goal as a young man trying to make it in the business was always to land a sitcom. “Standup was kind of something I did to get noticed, something I did to keep exercising those funny muscles,” he said. At 24, he appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson, the host at the time. “That was a big deal,” he said. And then landing “Full House” as his big break, he said he got lucky. One of his favorite episodes of the show involved a charity hockey game Joey played against an old rival. Coulier actually played on the varsity hockey team in high school in Harper Woods, Mich., alongside future NHL player John Blum. “The scoop on ‘Full House’ is that we all became great friends and we really love each other and we’ve stayed in touch,” he said, listing off all of his co-stars recent tweets and messages to each other. Would the crew ever reunite on “Full House”? Probably not, Coulier said. “I think it would be really hard to recreate that same feeling again,” he said. “It would be really difficult to recreate a time that’s already passed.”
