Another charter plan under fire D-300 considers proposal to expand blended virtual learning at Cambridge Lakes By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Representatives from the nonprofit corporation that runs an area brick-and-mortar charter school approached District

300 board members and administrators Monday with the task of justifying a new online charter during the worst possible time. Officials from the Northern Kane Educational Corp. unveiled a plan that would

expand its blended virtual learning program at Cambridge Lakes Charter School in District 300’s territory of Pingree Grove to school districts across the state through the “Illinois Online Charter School,” despite growing re-

sistance and skepticism toward virtual classrooms. District 300 and 17 others in Fox Valley vehemently rejected a proposal earlier this year from the nonprofit Virtual Learning Solutions, arguing the group’s proposal was

incomplete and didn’t address vital questions about curriculum and costs. But Northern Kane insisted its proposal was not like Virtual Learning Solutions, arguing the expansion of its emerging blended program

Slow economy allows for more preservation in the county By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com Lisa Haderlein remembers when the Land Conservancy of McHenry County was struggling to keep pace with the rapid, steadfast development of the early 2000s that transformed the county into suburbia. But the economic downturn and housing bubble burst of the late 2000s granted Haderlein and the local conservation group a breather. As development

halted, the Land Conservancy refocused its attention on how to preserve the numerous open spaces – including farmland, wetlands, woodlands and prairies – vital to the ecosystem and quality of life in the county, rather than pockmark their conservation efforts. “With the recession, things have slowed. It’s nice not to have that pressure where you are always reacting to the next mega development being proposed,” Haderlein said. “We can sit

back and look at the landscape and speak to the value the land has.” Haderlein, the executive director of the Land Conservancy, and others in agencies such as the McHenry County Conservation District and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, exist to preserve and acquire open spaces throughout the county. Across the country, almost 6,000 acres of open

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news. The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear whether the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls. In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters. In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said the government sought and

Invasion of garden gnomes quelled I never used to be like this. You know, a lawn ornament zealot. I used to think a lawn should be flat and green and shaped like a baseball field. A bush here and a tree there was OK, as long as they didn’t get in the way of a well-hit Wiffle ball on its way out of the yard. But keep your miniature windmills out of left field and remove that flock of pink flamingos from the first base line, thank you very much. As kids, we would have to be creative when we decided on the ground rules for our baseball yards. For example, one of my friends had a garage in the middle of right field. He had a rule that if you hit one of its windows, it was an automatic out. There was also a rule that said if the window got broken, then it was an automatic blame it on the youngest kid. When we played at another friend’s yard, his parents had one of those shiny glass balls on a pedestal that we used as third base. That lasted less than a game when it exploded into pieces as a result of a wicked Wiffle line drive. We told the parents that

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava we warned the youngest kid not to do that. That was back in the day. Now that I’ve grown up, I still have a yearning for a good Wiffle ball game. But I can’t get any of the old retired guys in the neighborhood to play, and the youngest one, who is 62, is afraid to come over because he knows that he’ll get the blame if my wife’s peony bush thingy near second base gets squashed. But from this Wiffle ball game vacuum has risen an opportunity. Yes, without the need to preserve an outfield or a pitcher’s mound, there is the wonderful possibility of filling this space with stuff. And what better stuff to fill it with than outdoor art ornamentation. Yep, one man’s Wiffle ball field is another man’s lawn canvas. So there I was with a yard full of nothing but wide-open spaces, with its

supplementary nooks and crannies, just beckoning for color and texture and shapes and patterns. My mind was awash with visions of groups of colorful, little painted gnomes playing oversized musical instruments, concrete ducks dressed as characters from “The Wizard of Oz” and maybe even that cutout of the lady who is bending over so you can see her polka dot underwear. Yeah, cool stuff like that. But, alas, the lawn artist in me failed to consider one small detail: I share the canvas with my wife. You could have knocked me over with a pink plastic flamingo when she told me she didn’t share my lawn vision. When she started using words such as “tacky” and “tasteless,” I knew it was going to me and my miniature Easter Island mysterious stone statues with the long faces and piercing eyes versus my wife and her so-called “natural,” “organic” weirdo plants. After a bit of compromising, we worked out a deal. I gave up my gnomes and ducks and the bent-over lady, and she gave up her plans to build a giant greenhouse with comput-

erized window panels that open and close according to the temperature. (No fair. I didn’t even see that greenhouse thing coming!) So, for now, there will be no invasion of the gnomes, no matter how adorable those little guys might be, especially the one with the large blue saxophone. Sniff. Maybe it’s time I become more reasonable and balanced about the use of our yard space. Maybe I need to re-evaluate my artistic inclinations. And maybe I’d better find out what other secret construction plans my wife is formulating. But, in the meantime, anyone for a Wiffle Ball game?

Records: Cleveland suspect faced prior complaints The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – A man charged with holding three women captive for about a decade had been accused of threatening his neighbors, attacking his common-law wife and committing violations during his career as a school bus driver, according to records released Monday. The Cleveland police reports correspond with accounts provided by relatives of suspect Ariel Castro last week that portrayed a man prone to violent outbursts, es-

pecially when it came to the mother of his children and incursions onto his property. Castro, 52, is charged with kidnapping and rape, but prosecutors expect to file more charges. The three women whom he is accused of holding captive disappeared between August 2002 and April 2004. They were rescued last week when one of them escaped the home. The records released Monday were produced by police officers investigating complaints against Castro. They

QUINCY, Mass. – Police say a Quincy woman is facing charges for allegedly punching a restaurant worker who put “too many pickles” on her steak and cheese sandwich. Transit police said 49-yearold Tina Drouin ordered the sub from Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs in the Quincy Center subway/commuter rail station Saturday afternoon. Police said Drouin started loudly complaining, used a profanity and demanded a refund. When she was refused, she allegedly punched the worker in the face and pushed two large jars filled with pickles at the woman, knocking her over and shattering the jars. She fled, but was followed by the worker, who held her until police arrived.

do not track what happened to the complaints after they were taken. Grimilda Figueroa called police on Sept. 30, 1989, and reported that Castro, her “common-law husband of nine years,” attacked her after she asked him where he was going with one of his brothers. After slapping Figueroa several times, “he then grabbed her and slammed her several times against the wall and several times against the washing machine,” according to the report. Figueroa, who died of can-

cer last year, was treated at a hospital for a bruised right shoulder, the report said. On Dec. 26, 1993, Figueroa again reported Castro, telling police he threw her to the ground, hit her about the head and face and kicked her body. Her son then fled out the front door and Castro chased him, according to the report, which said Figueroa locked the door, and Castro couldn’t get back in. He ran away when police arrived, and was chased by officers through a neighboring yard and arrested, the report said.

The difference for the city of McHenry to purchase four vehicles locally instead of through a regional consortium is about $153 per car. Due to the exclusion of $500 per car in credit and a $125 delivery fee, an article published on page A1 in Monday’s Northwest Herald incorrectly identified the cost difference. The local dealer, Buss Ford, offered a base price of $24,184 per vehicle, according to council documents. Currie Motors in Frankfort had the lowest bid in the Ford suburban purchasing cooperative with a base price of $23,406 per vehicle, but the city also would have to pay to get the cars to McHenry if it decided to go with the Frankfort dealership. That cost was $125 per car, City Administrator Derik Morefield said. Through Buss Ford, Ford Motor Credit also offered $500 in concessions per car, bringing the difference in buying local to $153 per car. According to the city of McHenry, Currie also provided its cost estimate for a 2014 vehicle based on an estimate from 2013 pricing, whereas Buss provided a bid based on actual 2014 pricing. The Northwest Herald regrets the error.

Philly abortion doctor guilty in 3 babies’ deaths By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – An abortion doctor was convicted Monday of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy “house of horrors” clinic. In a case that became a grisly flashpoint in the nation’s abortion debate, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was also found guilty of involuntary

manslaughter in the overdose death of an abortion patient. He was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a whimper before the doctor cut the spinal cord. Gosnell, who portrayed himself as an advocate for poor and desperate women in an impoverished West Philadelphia neighborhood, appeared hopeful before the verdict was read and calm afterward. The jury reached its verdict on its 10th day of deliberations. It will return May 21 to hear

evidence on whether Gosnell should get the death penalty. Gosnell attorney Jack McMahon called it a “very difficult case” to defend and said there was “a little bit of feeling on the defense part of what salm- Dr. Kermit on must feel Gosnell swimming upstream.” “There’s a lot of emotion. You have the baby factor, which is a big problem. The

media has been overwhelmingly against him,” he said. But noting that Gosnell was cleared on some of the charges, McMahon said the jurors “obviously took their job seriously.” Prosecutors looked elated, but District Attorney Seth Williams declined comment until after the sentencing phase, citing a gag order. Former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal abortions past Pennsylvania’s 24-week limit, that he delivered ba-

bies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants dispatched the newborns by “snipping” their spines, as he referred to it. “Are you human?” Prosecutor Ed Cameron snarled during closing arguments. “To med these women up and stick knives in the backs of babies?” Gosnell was also convicted of infanticide, racketeering and more than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania’s abortion laws by performing third-term abortions or failing

Watchdog group: Ill. must address the pension crisis By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn’s proposed state budget is a baby step in the right direction, a watchdog group’s analysis said Monday, but the governor may be overstating savings from a recent union contract negotiation and not putting enough toward roughly $9 billion unpaid bills. All told, The Civic Federation said, it mostly illustrates how Illinois lawmakers must come up with a solution for a worst-in-thenation pension crisis. “It’s the state treading water until it addresses c o m p r e h e n - Gov. Pat sive pension Quinn reform,” said Civic Federation President Laurence Msall. “The governor’s budget makes the best of a very horrible financial situation.” The Chicago-based nonpartisan research group is the latest to put pressure on state lawmakers, who are set to consider two pension overhauls and Quinn’s budget before adjourning this month. According to its 105-page report, the Civic Federation is “gravely concerned” with Illinois’ shaky finances and wants a long-term solution, particularly with the nearly $100 billion pension problem straining other spending. For years, Illinois has either shorted or skipped payments to its five public retirement systems, leaving it far short of what’s needed in the future.

DUI charges filed against limo driver

Over the years, the figure has grown, which the Federation says eats away money for essential services. For fiscal 2014, Illinois’ employer contribution to pensions of $6.8 billion will represent nearly one-fifth of Quinn’s proposed $35.6 billion spending plan, which includes money for education and public safety. After years of inaction and debate, lawmakers will consider two plans to address the pension crisis, including one from House Speaker Michael Madigan requiring public employees to pay more, reduce annual cost-of-living increases and increase the retirement age for some workers. Another plan, sponsored by Senate President John Cullerton, has support from some unions and gives workers and retirees a choice of benefit packages. Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, says his plan is more likely to survive a court challenge over constitutionality because it gives employees a choice in benefits. In its report, The Civic Federation says it supports Democrat Madigan’s plan because it offers a long-term plan and calls for fully funding pensions in 30 years; Cullerton’s would fund about 90 percent in the same time frame. Msall said the group would also like to see a proposal to move retirement costs to suburban and downstate schools, an idea lawmakers have argued over for some time. Shifting costs to schools isn’t included in either plan but Madigan plans to hold hearings to finalize a plan.

President Barack Obama gestures during a joint news conference Monday with British Prime Minister David Cameron in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

Obama attempts to defuse two brewing controversies By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama tried to swat down a pair of brewing controversies Monday, denouncing as “outrageous” the targeting of conservative political groups by the federal IRS but angrily denying any administration cover-up after last year’s deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Simultaneous investigations – and demands by Republicans for more – have put the White House on the defensive, emboldened GOP lawmakers and threatened to overtake a second-term Obama agenda already off to a rocky start. During a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the normally even-keeled Obama appeared agitated over the resurgent investigation into the September attack at a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi. He dismissed the

Republican-driven effort as a “sideshow” that dishonors the four Americans who were killed, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. “There’s no there there,” Obama declared in his first public comments since GOP lawmakers launched new hearings on the matter. “The fact that this keeps on getting churned up, frankly, has a whole lot to do with political motivations.” Seeking to keep another controversy from spinning out of control, the president rebuked the IRS for scrutinizing the tax-exempt status of groups with conservative titles such as “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names. Those responsible, Obama said, must be held “fully accountable.” “I’ve got no patience with it,” he added. “I will not tolerate it, and we will find out exactly what happened.” The president said he first learned of the matter Friday when it was reported by news

organizations. Spokesman Jay Carney said later that the White House counsel’s office was alerted April 22 that the IRS inspector general was completing a review of an IRS office in Cincinnati. Neither issue appears to be going away any time soon. On Monday, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked authors of an independent government review into the Benghazi attack to meet privately with committee investigators. And the House Ways and Means Committee said it plans to hold a hearing on the IRS matter on Friday. The two controversies are the latest in a series of unexpected challenges that have consumed the White House since Obama began his second term in January. Among the others: the Boston Marathon bombings, Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons and fresh nuclear provocations from North Korea.

High-tech companies push for more in immigration bill By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – High-tech companies looking to bring more skilled workers to the U.S. pushed Monday for more concessions in an immigration bill pending in the Senate.

GLEN ELLYN – Authorities say a limousine driver who erratically drove more than 20 suburban Chicago teenagers to a prom had an alcohol level nearly threetimes the legal limit. Richard L. Madison says he wasn’t intoxicated and that mechanical problems caused his erratic driving Saturday as he took the teenagers from Oswego East High School to their prom at a banquet hall near Glen Ellyn. But a DuPage County sheriff’s report says a Breathalyzer test indicated Madison’s blood-alcohol level was 0.22 percent. The legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent. The 54-year-old Palos Hills resident was charged with drunken driving and reckless conduct. A spokesman for Limos Alive spokesman says there were no mechanical problems with the bus that Madison was driving, and that Madison has been fired.

Minnesota Senate approves gay marriage ST. PAUL, Minn. – Spurring onlookers’ cheers, the Minnesota Senate voted Monday to make gay marriage legal, putting the state on the brink of becoming the 12th to allow same-sex couples to marry. Gov. Mark Dayton immediately announced he would sign the legislation Tuesday. The Senate vote of 37-30 came four days after the House passed the bill on a 75-59 vote. When the tally was announced after more than four hours of debate, a huge cheer erupted in the chamber and gallery, where spectators stood and applauded. Minnesota will become the first state in the Midwest to make gay marriage legal via a legislative vote. Iowa legalized same-sex marriage in 2009 through a court ruling. Under the legislation, gay couples will be able to get married starting on Aug. 1.

Use care to avoid scams On Friday, McHenry County was one of 11 Illinois counties to be declared a federal disaster area as a result of last month’s flooding along the Fox River. More than 800 homes were affected, McHenry County Emergency Management Agency Director David Christensen told the McHenry County Board last week. About a quarter of them meet federal criteria for reimbursement. The federal assistance could include grant money and loans to pay for repairs, property losses and temporary housing. McHenry Board members last month waived all permit fees through year’s end related to repairing damage from the flooding. Whether you have pending flooding repairs or anticipate hiring somebody to do work on your home this summer, you should be aware of how to avoid being scammed. The Better Business Bureau offers the following tips: • Research contractors; • Request bids from two or three different companies; • Base all bids on the same criteria; • Do not automatically pick the lowest bid; • Do not give in to demands to make excessively large down payments, and do not make a full payment until all the work is done to your satisfaction; • Determine whether the contractor has the proper insurance; • Ask to see any required state or local permits, or licenses; • Check with your local and county units of government to determine whether permits or inspections are required; • Work with contractors who have a verifiable track record; • Get all estimates in writing. Additionally, Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office offers these tips: • Call the attorney general’s Consumer Fraud Hotline to check out a contractor and to learn whether any complaints have been filed against a particular business; • Be aware that you have the right to cancel a contract within three business days if you signed it based on the contractor’s visit to your home; • In the case of disaster repair, if your insurance carrier denies coverage, you have the right to cancel the contract within five days of when your insurance carrier denies your coverage. If you suspect you have been a victim of fraud, call Madigan’s office at 800-386-5438.

Know your neighbors The discovery of three young women who were missing for more than a decade in Cleveland calls for action in several ways, the most basic of which is to know our own neighborhoods, if not our neighbors. There was a time in America, back when front porches and stoops were the evening hangouts for families, that people knew the names of everyone on their block, all of their children and their pets. There was a time when the cop on the beat in that neighborhood knew everyone by name, their comings and goings, too. It’s long past time since that was the case, and it’s long past time for the need for that to be the case again. We need to be sure we do know what’s going on in our neighborhoods, and not just to wait for gunfire or captives to escape. The Marietta (Ohio) Times

More to sales tax issue To the Editor: As an online seller of merchandise, I have been reading with interest the Northwest Herald’s articles regarding the perceived advantages that I and others gain by not having to collect sales tax. We can sell the merchandise for less. We have no storefront, except for the World Wide Web. No sign ordinances to contend with, fewer employees and lower utility costs. That’s why many big retailers have an online presence. But type in a keyword on a search engine, and see how many of us come up. It’s much more competitive than the busiest of shopping districts. Online retailers not being required to collect tax, except from Illinois residents, is only part of the brick-and-mortar establishments’ problems. All of their costs are higher. Why would I buy from them when I can purchase the identical new item online for much less? A used baseball mitt or bat? I can

find it much cheaper on eBay. The shipping cost often offsets any savings garnered by not paying sales tax. Despite the fact that I espouse the monetary benefits of shopping online, I am a strong believer in supporting our local merchants. I even pay more than I might when shopping on the Internet if I like the establishment or if I need it in a hurry. I just don’t feel that I have to just because you’re there. You’d better give me a reason to; through your excellent service and a knowledgeable, friendly staff. Douglas Knight Huntley

But when you have experienced the financial freedom of living in a state where the budget is balanced, the property taxes are onetenth to less than one-half of what they are here, you start to think. The price of gas here is among the highest in the nation because of taxes. Many people I know have left or will leave. Anyone who criticizes Texas Gov. Rick Perry for encouraging Illinois businesses to move to his state is simply not facing reality. They can bury their heads in the sand, but when people legitimately weigh the options of living in another state, Illinois wouldn’t come out near the top. And it’s not only because of the weather. We need our elected officials to wake up. Melanie Horn Lakewood

14 what a difference seven miles will make. As I left Harvard and a rash of gas stations, the going price was $4.19 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. I proceeded northwest, and not seven miles outside Harvard in the state of Wisconsin regular unleaded gas was $3.67 per gallon. I traveled a little further and found it for $3.63 per gallon. Now, if I lived in Harvard or anywhere on the Illinois border, I would be making many seven-mile trips for my gasoline to save 56 cents per gallon. Seems like a very cost-saving trip. Our elevated gas prices cannot be explained away by transportation costs or refinery costs. We have tolls to pay for the roads, Wisconsin has no tolls, so that can’t be it. What is causing the disparity in prices? Wisconsin continues to show how to do things cheaper and better. When are we going to figure it out? Dan Egan Fox River Grove

Democrats, Republicans have image problem in Illinois Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady resigned last week just as a new statewide poll showed big trouble for his political party’s brand. Brady had been under pressure to resign ever since the disastrous 2012 elections. The pressure increased publicly after Brady announced his support for a gay marriage bill. Multiple attempts to oust Brady were unsuccessful. The way forward is unclear, to say the least. Some party leaders have a list of more than 25 people to consider. This could easily turn out to be a total mess. And this all comes at a particularly bad time for the GOP. A new Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll found that 52 percent of likely Illinois voters have a negative view of the Republican Party. Only 25 percent have a positive view, while 24 percent were neutral. According to the poll of 1,036 likely voters taken May 6, 54 percent of women have a negative view of the GOP (only 24 percent positive),

while 48 percent of men have a negative view (only 26 percent positive). The poll has a margin of error of plus-minus 3 percent. And a mere 59 percent of selfidentified Republicans have a positive view of the GOP, while 16 percent have a negative view and 25 percent are neutral – a combined 41 percent unpositive. Not good. Perhaps more importantly, only 18 percent of independents have a positive view of the Republican Party, while 50 percent have a negative view. So, it’s somewhat of a miracle that Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka is still polling as well as she is. According to the survey, Topinka leads Democratic Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, 45-38. A total of 24 percent of the calls were made to cellphones. Simon will likely run for attorney general if Lisa Madigan steps up to run for governor, but she has said she is eyeing the comptroller’s race as well. Simon is the highest profile Democrat to consider a bid

VIEWS Rich Miller against Topinka, so this may be a high water mark for the Democrats. Topinka won her last race by 13 points in a very good year for the GOP. Topinka leads among independents by 12 big and important points. Her lead also pretty much matches Madigan’s lead over Dan Rutherford and Aaron Schock in a somewhat recent Public Policy Polling survey. So, she’s doing quite well considering the serious headwinds. Topinka and Simon are essentially tied among women, but Topinka has a 53-34 lead among men. But the news isn’t all that great for Democrats, either. A Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll of 1,057 likely Illinois voters taken Wednesday showed that 42

percent have a negative view of the Democratic Party while just 36 percent have a positive view. That’s not as bad as the GOP numbers, but it is “certainly an indictment of the political landscape,” as my pollster told me. The poll’s margin of error is plus-minus 3 percent. According to the poll, the Democratic Party is viewed positively by a plurality of women, 43-37, and negatively by men, 50-28, compared to the poll about the GOP which showed that women and men viewed the Republican Party in a negative light. Independents tend to lean more conservative because so many of them are former Republicans who no longer want to be identified with the party. So, the GOP has to do well with them to win. There are far more Democrats in this state than Republicans, but they aren’t a majority and must still be competitive with independents. And according to that poll, the Democrats aren’t doing so well with independents right now. A

strong majority of independents, 56 percent, viewed the Democratic Party negatively, which is six points worse than the Republicans fared. Eighteen percent – the same result as the GOP – viewed the party positively. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats viewed their party in a positive light, compared to the 59 percent of Republicans who viewed their party positively. The Democrats clearly have an advantage with their base, but it’s still not all that wonderful. Just one region, Chicago, finds a majority positive view of the Democratic Party, with 56 percent positive and 23 percent negative. A 39-29 plurality of suburban Cook County voters view the Democratic Party in a positive light, while a 5233 majority of collar county voters and a 56-24 majority of downstaters have a negative view of the Dems. • Rich Miller publishes Capitol Fax, a daily political newsletter, and CapitolFax.com.

Pakistan’s Sharif gets election victory Honduran police The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAHORE, Pakistan – Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif looked poised to return to office with a resounding election victory – a mandate that could make it easier to tackle the country’s daunting problems, including growing power outages, weak economic growth and shaky government finances. Questions remain, however, about Sharif’s stance on another key issue: violent Islamic extremism. Critics have accused his party of being soft on radicals because it hasn’t cracked down on militant groups in its stronghold of Punjab province. The United States has pushed Pakistan for years to take stronger

action against Islamic militants whose fighters stage cross-border attacks against American troops in Afghanistan. As unofficial returns rolled in Sunday, a day after the election, state TV estimates put Sharif close to the majority in the national assembly needed to govern outright for the next five years. Even if he falls short of that threshold, independent candidates almost certain to swing in Sharif’s favor would give his Pakistan Muslim League-N party a ruling majority. That would put the 63-yearold Sharif in a much stronger position than the outgoing Pakistan People’s Party, which ruled for five years with a

weak coalition that was often on the verge of collapse. Pakistan suffers from a growing energy crisis, with some areas experiencing power outages for up to 18 hours a day. That has seriously hurt the economy, pushing growth below 4 percent a year. The country needs a growth rate of twice that to provide jobs for its expanding population of 180 million. Ballooning energy subsidies and payments to keep failing public enterprises afloat have steadily eaten away at the government’s finances, forcing the country to seek another unpopular bailout from the International Monetary Fund. Pakistan also has an ineffective tax system, depriving the government of

funds. Sharif, the son of a wealthy industrialist, is seen by many as more likely to tackle the country’s economic problems effectively because much of his party’s support comes from businessmen. He also is expected to push for better relations with Pakistan’s archenemy and neighbor India, which could help the economy. The Pakistan People’s Party was widely perceived to have done little on the economic front. “Anything better than zero and you have already improved on the PPP’s performance in terms of managing the economy,” said Cyril Almeida, a columnist for Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper.

8BRIEFS Vermont House passes aid-in-dying bill MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont’s lawmakers approved a bill Monday night allowing doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it, making it the first state in the country to give legislative backing to assisted suicide. The measure approved in a 75-65 roll call vote now goes before Gov. Peter Shumlin, who has expressed support for the legislation. Three other states – Oregon, Washington and Montana – have similar laws.

Bangladesh search ends; death toll put at 1,127 SAVAR, Bangladesh – Several of the biggest Western retailers embraced a plan that would require them to pay for factory improvements in Bangladesh as the three-week search for victims of the worst garment-industry disaster in history ended Monday with the death toll at a staggering 1,127. Bangladesh’s government also agreed to allow garment workers to form unions without permission from factory owners. That decision came a day after it announced a plan to raise the minimum wage in the industry.

County’s 2030 plan carves out goal to preserve 15 percent of open space • OPEN SPACES

Continued from page A1 space a day are being lost to developers looking to convert parcels into a subdivision or business park, the U.S. Agriculture Department estimates. But in McHenry County, the recession dampened the feverish pace of development, Haderlein said. The reprieve has allowed the Land Conservancy to preserve nearly 700 acres of creeks, farmland and woodlands throughout the county since the recession hit. The nonprofit often works with private landowners and local governments to negotiate land donations. The effort has allowed the group to perserve roughly 2,000 total acres of open space that is needed to ensure groundwater aquifers recharge and farm soils replenish for production. “We all breathe air. We all drink water. We need food to live. Open space and underdeveloped land provides those things,” Haderlein said. “I don’t care if there is a

$2 million mansion being developed. If there is not water to flush the toilet, it’s worth nothing.” The MCCD has the greatest authority to acquire and protect land in the county. The agency used two successful referendums in 2001 and 2007 to preserve open space and watersheds, improve recreational areas and restore wildlife habitats. All told, the district manages more than 25,000 acres of open space scattered throughout the county, including areas such as Coral Woods in Marengo, Glacial Park in Ringwood and Pleasant Valley in Woodstock. The McHenry-Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District doesn’t actively acquire open spaces, but it provides the conservation district with constant input, said District Manager Ed Weskerna.

The group has stressed the importance of protecting the county’s prime farmland, which makes up 60 percent of the county landscape, primarily located in less developed areas to the north and west. “We are not trying to promote development, and we are not trying to promote all land preservation,” Weskerna said. “We are just trying to steer development away from the prime farmland in the county.” MCCD and the Land Conservancy have said they will protect the declining oak tree population that once represented a large portion of the county’s natural habitat. The county’s 2030 plan even carves out a goal to preserve 15 percent of the county’s open space through land acquisition and other preservation tools such as private land donations. “Open space is essential to our neighborhoods to provide relief from suburban stressors like traffic congestion, blacktop roads and a horizon of only rooftops,” said Elizabeth Kessler, executive director of MCCD.

White House says it had no knowledge of actions • PROBE Continued from page A1 obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies. “There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,” Pruitt said. The government would not say why it sought the records. Officials have previously said in public testimony that the

By ALBERTO ARCE The Associated Press TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – At least five times in the last few months, members of a Honduras street gang were killed or went missing just after run-ins with the U.S.-supported national police, The Associated Press has determined, feeding accusations that they were victims of federal death squads. In a country with the highest homicide rate in the world and where only a fraction of crimes are prosecuted, the victims’ families say the police are literally getting away with murder. In March, two mothers discovered the bodies of their sons after the men had called in a panic to say they were surrounded by armed, masked police. The young men, both members of the 18th Street gang, had been shot in the head, their hands bound so tightly the cords cut to the bone. That was shortly after three members of 18th Street were detained by armed, masked men and taken to a police station. Two men with

no criminal history were released, but their friend disappeared without any record of his detention. A month after the AP reported that an 18th Street gang leader and his girlfriend vanished from police custody, they are still missing. The 18th Street gang and another known as Mara Salvatrucha are the country’s biggest gangs, formed by Central American immigrants in U.S. prisons who later overran this small Central American country as their members were deported back home. Both engage in dealing drugs and charging extortion fees under threat of death. Now the 18th Street gang said its members are being targeted by police death squads, described by witnesses as heavily armed masked men in civilian dress and bullet-proof vests who kill or “disappear” gang members instead of bringing them to justice. In the last two years, the United States has given an estimated $30 million in aid to Honduran law enforcement.

Police ID suspect in New Orleans mass shooting NEW ORLEANS – Police identified a 19-year-old man as a suspect in the shooting of nearly 20 people during a Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans, saying several people had identified him as the gunman. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said they were looking for Akein Scott. He said it was too early to say whether he was the only shooter. “The important thing for Akein Scott now is to turn himself in,” Serpas said, standing outside of police headquarters. A photo of Scott hung from a podium in front of the police chief.

are being accused as death squads

U.S. attorney in Washington is conducting a criminal investigation into who may have provided information contained in a May 7, 2012, AP story about a foiled terror plot. The story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an al-Qaida plot in the spring of 2012 to detonate a bomb on an airplane bound for the United States. In testimony in February, CIA Director John Brennan noted that the FBI had questioned him about whether he was AP’s source, which he denied. He called the release of the information to the media about the terror plot an “unauthorized and dangerous disclosure of classified information.” Prosecutors have sought phone records from reporters before, but the seizure of records from such a wide array of AP offices, including general AP switchboards numbers and an office-wide shared fax line, is unusual. In the letter notifying the

AP, which was received Friday, the Justice Department offered no explanation for the seizure, according to Pruitt’s letter and attorneys for the AP. The records were presumably obtained from phone companies earlier this year although the government letter did not explain that. None of the information provided by the government to the AP suggested the actual phone conversations were monitored. Among those whose phone numbers were obtained were five reporters and an editor who were involved in the May 7, 2012, story. The Obama administration has aggressively investigated disclosures of classified information to the media and has brought six cases against people suspected of providing classified information, more than under all previous presidents combined. The White House on Monday said that other than press reports it had no knowledge of Justice Department attempts

to seek AP phone records. “We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department,” spokesman Jay Carney said. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the investigative House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said on CNN, “They had an obligation to look for every other way to get it before they intruded on the freedom of the press.” Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in an emailed statement: “The burden is always on the government when they go after private information, especially information regarding the press or its confidential sources. ... On the face of it, I am concerned that the government may not have met that burden. I am very troubled by these allegations and want to hear the government’s explanation.”

• CHARTER Continued from page A1 a thrust to the charter movement. We don’t see ourselves as being a proponent of the virtual movement,” said Larry Fuhrer, president and chief executive of Northern Kane. “We have only the interest of bringing blended virtual learning that we have learned here to other people around the state.” The Virtual Learning Solutions conflict spurred legislation that would place a one-year moratorium on all state virtual charters introduced after April 1. It has cleared the House and sits in the Senate. But Fuhrer said the chief sponsor of that legislation, Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, told him his charter proposal is exempt because Northern Kane already had its blended virtual learning program in place. Since 2011, Cambridge Lakes has offered a mix of traditional classroom instruction and online instruction for more than 70 students within District 300’s territory. District board members didn’t challenge Fuhrer’s assertion that the Illinois Online Charter School would supplant the education of public schools. But members had ample questions about why they were needed to approve a proposal that provided no benefit to district students. They also questioned Fuhrer about whether district money would be needed for Northern Kane’s effort to expand its blended program to schools across the state. “You would be going out to other districts within the

boundaries of the state of Illinois providing those services based on a charter that we negotiated,” board President Anne Miller said. “I’m having a hard time figuring out where the benefit is to District 300.” Fuhrer argued the primary benefit is added revenues for Northern Kane, which already works with the district to improve students’ education at Cambridge Lakes. Teachers in the area also would receive training on blended learning, an educational service that still is foreign to many schools. Fuhrer also defended the decision to seek a second charter from District 300 for its blended learning expansion, arguing the charter merely would serve as another “vehicle” for a limited staff to market and brand the service to districts across the state. “I would do it through Cambridge Lakes ... but I would prefer two vehicles rather than one because it is cleaner,” Fuhrer said. “But I’m not precluded from doing it the other way.” Northern Kane also has been using K12 Inc. to provide curriculum for its blended learning program, a partnership the charter proposal would continue. The for-profit Virginia company has been criticized in the academic world for its obligation to shareholders and shoddy track record with student achievement. Board members did not make mention of that relationship Monday. They now have 30 days to vote on the proposal from Northern Kane, which could appeal the decision to a state commission.

POLICE: MAN OFFERS TEEN MONEY FOR SEX CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake man was arrested Saturday after offering a teen money to perform a sexual act, Crystal Lake police said. John Giesing, 74, of 711 Coventry Lane, has been charged with a felony count of solicitation of a sexual act. He is being held at the McHenry County Jail on a $15,000 bond. Officers responded to a home in the 700 block of Coventry Lane around 5:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a suspicious incident. A 16-year-old boy told police he was walking on Coventry Lane when an elderly man pulled over his vehicle, motioned for the teen to come toward him and proceeded to offer him money to engage in a sexual act, according to a news release. The teen declined, and the man drove away. The boy recognized the man as someone he met while recently trying to sell newspaper subscriptions door to door in the area, police said. Investigators later went to the home and spoke with Giesing, who admitted he offered the teen money to perform a sexual act, police said. Giesing is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Business owner pleads guilty Cary man faces up to 20 years in prison for stealing more than $1 million By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – A Cary business owner faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty Monday in federal court to wire fraud for stealing more than $1 million, federal prosecutors said.

Clare Thomas Anderson, 44, owned Certifibre and Anderson International Global; he did business as Worldwide Paper Company, American Surplus Supply, Southernmost Exports, Southernmost Holdings and Sea Consulting, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Anderson operated the

businesses in Cary and Florida, and sold wood pulp and other raw materials to manufacturers, brokers and suppliers, usually in foreign countries. However, between April 2009 and January, he stole more than $1 million from more than 10 people, according to the news release.

In the scheme, Anderson received payments of shipments before they arrived at destinations, often by obtaining letters of credit from clients’ banks to pay for shipments in advance, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Anderson created

Cary works to replace police chief Aquatic Casstevens is taking $135K salary post in Buffalo Grove center makes a splash By JOSEPH BUSTOS

jbustos@shawmedia.com

CARY – Village Board members are working on a plan to replace Police Chief Steven Casstevens, who is leaving for a new job. Village Administrator Chris Clark said the board is working on both shortterm and long-term plans. “More discussion needs to take place on what is in the best interest in the village of Cary,” Clark said. The village’s Police Committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday, with a closed session to discuss personnel issues. Clark would not be more specific on the topics. Casstevens’ last day in Cary is scheduled for June 7. He will start his new job

Steven Casstevens takes over as police chief in Buffalo Grove, a town of 41,500 people.

in Buffalo Grove as police chief on June 10, where he will replace the retired Steve Balinski. “[Casstevens] determined this was in the best interest of his career, and the village supported that,” Clark said. “He made a significant difference in the village of Cary, and we wish him well in his new role in Buffalo Grove.” Casstevens joined the Cary Police Department and its 28 sworn officers in January 2011. His current

salary is $117,957 in the town of about 18,500 people. In Buffalo Grove, Casstevens will oversee 70 sworn officers in a town of about 41,500 people. His salary is slated to be $135,000. “He was an excellent candidate, has good experience as a chief, a good aptitude for the job and high ethical standards,” Buffalo Grove Village Manager Dane Bragg said. “We’re really pleased with his leadership skills.” Casstevens said he always has respected Buffalo Grove’s previous chiefs and its police department. “Buffalo Grove is always well respected, a well thought of police department in the law enforcement community in Illinois,” Casstevens said.

Casstevens said the Cary Police Department worked well as a team and made changes during his tenure. Casstevens updated the department’s standard operating procedures, such as pursuit policy and rapid deployment procedures, which will be part of the department long after he has moved on, Clark said. Clark credited Casstevens with helping set up the village’s administrative adjudication program, where the village can hear violations of its own ordinances without needing to send people to McHenry County Circuit Court in Woodstock. The village held its first administrative adjudication hearing May 3 and is

Owner questions why dog shot in drug raid By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com McHENRY – To Liz Koch, Buck was a 127-pound gentle giant. But to police who arrested her, the German shepherd-Rottweiler mix was a threat. Police shot and killed the dog while serving a warrant at Koch’s home in the 3300 block of South Woods Avenue near McHenry. Koch and two others were arrested after a drug raid. Just after midnight April

24, officers from the North Central Narcotics Task Force issued a warrant to raid the home in unincorporated McHenry County. Buck lunged at officers with his mouth open, said Bill Backus, director of the Narcotics Task Force. “It’s certainly an action of last resort; it’s only if it’s absolutely necessary to prevent someone from being injured,” Backus said. Koch, 46, was charged with possession of marijuana. Also charged was Jacob

R. Goodman, 23, of the same address, with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. A third person, Roberto Jasso-Gonzalez, 30, also of McHenry, was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. Koch said police acted recklessly, and it was unnec-

essary to shoot Buck. “I got there just in time to see them shoot my dog three times,” she said. “… I was in shock. I just busted out in tears, and all I could say was, ‘You just shot my dog.’ “They carry Mace or Tasers; there was no reason [for officers to] kill him.” Backus could not confirm how many times the dog was shot, but said two officers shot simultaneously. “It’s not a good day when this action has to be taken,” he said.

McHenry council indicates support By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The city of McHenry inched closer Monday to a new aquatic and recreation center. City staff received the goahead from the McHenry City Council at a Committee of the Whole meeting to prepare the paperwork contractors need to submit proposals. The actual request for qualifications and proposals will need a vote from the City Council at a future meeting, but there was virtually no negative discussion among council members at Monday’s meeting. “I know that we’ve got to be losing business to other communities,” Alderman Geoff Blake said. “I don’t want to sound naive here, but I’m having trouble finding something wrong with this.” A rough rendering prepared by engineering firm HR Green and Williams Architects outlines a threephase project. The first phase consists of

ALGONQUIN: COMPETITION DONATION

Algonquin students donate $1K to Epilepsy Foundation By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com

Jim Dallke – jdallke@shawmedia.com

ComEd linemen repair a damaged power line Monday that caused 500 Woodstock residents to lose power. More than 2,700 residents in Dorr, Seneca and Greenwood townships lost power around 6 a.m. Monday, according to the ComEd website.

Project would be in three phases • CENTER

Continued from page B1

n Both parts of phase one would cost $7.3 million plus an estimated $1 million for parking and site work. n The city has accumulated $4.1 million in a recreation center fund since 1999. n If the city financed $5 million of the project over a 20-year loan, it would pay an estimated $330,000 in payments each year.

two parts, the mostly outdoor aquatic center and a start on the recreation center, according to plans. The rendering included a three-lane lap pool, slides, splash pad, concessions, lockers and office space on the pool side, program space, an outdoor deck, a multipurpose kitchen and enough space to relocate the parks and recreation department. The police department, which is “bursting at the seams,” could expand into the space currently used by the parks department in the municipal center, Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson said. The later phases show second-floor fitness studios, a gym and an upper-level track. Together, both parts of phase one would cost $7.3 million plus an estimated

$1 million for parking and site work, Hobson said. If the city financed $5 million of the project over a 20-year loan, it would pay an estimated $330,000 in payments each year. City Administrator Derik Morefield emphasized that the numbers were based on current figures and will change. The city has accumulated $4.1 million in a recreation center fund since 1999, when the council decided to devote

50 percent of the developer donation revenue to the project. Due to the drop in new development, very little has been added recently. The money in the account is devaluing in terms of what can be built using it, said Alderman Andy Glab, who supports starting the project sooner rather than later to “get the most for our buck right now.” The proposed facility would be south of Knox Park and west of the municipal center, meaning it could share parking. The city already owns the property. While nearby Knox Park has a pool, it wasn’t an option to expand there because of open space restrictions on grants, Hobson said. The 30-year-old pool is “shoulder to shoulder” some days and likely will need work in the future. Knox Pool generates about $20,000 a year, according to city documents.

ALGONQUIN – A Celebrity Apprentice-style competition at Heineman Middle School resulted in a $1,000 donation to the Epilepsy Foundation. During the project, called the Heineman Apprentice, teams of eighth-graders competed on behalf of their chosen charities by creating a multimedia blog and presented their cases to a board of directors. The team of Sierra Teeter and Amanda Bargiel won the competition and presented the Epilepsy Foundation with a check Monday. “Many people who develop epilepsy, or who are born with it, have difficulty learning,” said Sierra, whose 9-year-old sister, Anika, has epilepsy. “Anika has very limited communication and she cannot talk to us.” Sierra said that winning the competition was especially meaningful because the cause hits so close to home. Anika and her mom, Kathie Teeter, were also on the stage during Monday’s presentation. “A lot of times it’s very difficult not only on her, but on us as a family,” she said. “A lot of times when she has a seizure … she’s very edgy. A lot of times she will have seizures out in public. A lot of people don’t know what to do.” The money given to the Epilepsy Foundation was collected by school fundraising events earlier in the year, and students were encouraged to donate additional money. “The ownership that we saw of the students was great,” said Shannon Edgar, eighth-grade teacher and the organizer of Heineman Ap-

“[The students] really cared about the cause and really understood the impact they can have in the community.” Shannon Edgar, eighth-grade teacher at Heineman Middle School prentice. “They really cared about the cause and really understood the impact they can have in the community. It was just unbelievable how invested they got and how much they researched and found out about all the different causes.” One in 26 Americans will be diagnosed with epilepsy at some point in their life, said Epilepsy Foundation director of communications Ben Slack, who was at Heineman Middle School to receive the donation. “Projects like this, where you get to connect with people and with a cause that’s

near and dear to your heart, it really brings out the character in all of you,” Slack said. “I’m happy to see that even in middle school, you are already taking advantage of that.” The Epilepsy Foundation serves north central Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. The foundation serves people with epilepsy through advocacy, education and research. “It’s a day-to-day challenge,” Kathie Teeter said. “But my children have a better appreciation for people, community and love because of [Anika].”

Anderson sentencing scheduled Aug. 22 • FRAUD Continued from page B1 fraudulent bills of lading, certificates of origin and packing lists that falsely represented the agreed upon quantity and quality of materials that had been shipped. Anderson admitted he

would ship scrap materials instead of wood pulp and other raw materials to customers or ship smaller amounts of wood pulp and raw materials, then tell customers the shipments were short because of clerical errors, according to the news release. To maximize profits from the scheme, Anderson also

would not pay for the materials he obtained or shipping charges. He used the money for his personal expenses, according to the news release. To avoid detection, Anderson paid back some customers after he was contacted by them or they threatened to contact law enforcement.

Anderson used money from other customers to give refunds, according to the news release. Anderson is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 22. He faces up to 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 and a fine of twice the loss to victims or twice his gain, whichever is greater.

Gold bars are on display at the “Gold” exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Gold, often touted as the most trustworthy of investments, has looked wild over the past month. After starting April 2013 above $1,600 an ounce, it dropped below $1,361 on April 15 and has steadily recovered to settle at $1,430 on Monday.

Gold rush over? Precious metal dumped by stampede of investors By MATTHEW CRAFT AP Business Writer When the price of gold plunged $200 last month, many people thought they caught the sound of the gold bubble popping. What Peter Schiff, the CEO of brokerage Euro Pacific Precious Metals believes he heard was a stampede of fair-weather speculators fleeing the precious metal. Schiff and other champions of gold weren’t shaken by the plunge. To them it was just a short breather in preparation for another long climb. All the reasons they give for buying gold haven’t changed: Gold remains a refuge from disaster, they say, arguing that a steep drop in the dollar and a spike in the price of consumer goods are a threat. For speculators, buying gold was simply a way to profit from its popularity. “That’s what happens in a bull market,” Schiff says. “The selloffs shake out the Johnny-come-latelies. It’s healthy. Now we can have a real rally.” Gold, often touted as the most trustworthy of investments, has looked wild over the past month. After starting April above $1,600 an ounce, it dropped below $1,361 on April 15 and has steadily recovered to settle at $1,436 on Friday. Gold was supposed to be a haven from turmoil. When the housing market started cracking and the stock market sank in 2007, the price of gold began to surge. Over the next two years, it soared from around $600 an ounce to nearly $900 in the depths of the financial crisis in late 2008. For those who were wary of financial institutions or thought the Federal Reserve’s rescue efforts would backfire, it became the favored in-

Record-breaking rally stalls NEW YORK – Stocks closed little changed Monday as investors assess whether stock valuations are overstating the recent improvement in the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 26.81 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,091. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was little changed at 1,633.77. The Dow and the S&P both closed at record highs Friday. The Nasdaq composite rose 2.21 points, 0.1 percent, to 3,438.79. Declining stocks outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light at about 2.9 billion shares.

vestment. The television personality Glenn Beck advised his audience to stock up on gold bars in case the dollar became worthless. The tea party called for a return to linking the value of the dollar to the price of gold. “People treated gold like the cure for everything,” says James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis. “If you were worried about a depression, buy gold. If you were worried about inflation, buy gold.” If fear of economic collapse started the gold rally, greed accelerated it. By 2009, speculators and others looked to ride gold’s popularity. Hedge funds and other big investors piled in. Anxiety and gold prices kept climbing in tandem. Right after Standard & Poor’s stripped the U.S. of its top credit rating in August 2011, the price peaked above $1,900. Instead of buying gold bricks and stashing them in their basement, many hedge funds and big investors turned to buying gold exchange-traded funds, which trade on markets like

stocks. The most popular offering, the SPDR Gold Trust, attracted big investors like John Paulsen, who made billions betting on the mortgage meltdown, and George Soros. As money poured in, the SPDR Gold Trust grew into the second-largest largest exchange-traded fund behind the SPDR S&P 500, which follows the stock market. And its supply of gold swelled from 780 metric tons at the start of 2009 to 1,353 metric tons in December. But now it looks like the fast-money has soured on the yellow metal. George Soros slashed his stake in the SPDR Gold Trust fund by 55 percent at the end of last year, according to the most recent regulatory filing. Judging by the numbers, it looks like others decided to jump out of the market at the same time. Hedge funds and big investors pulled $8.7 billion out of gold funds last month, according to EPFR Global, a firm that tracks where big investors put their money. EPFR says it was the biggest monthly withdrawal out of gold funds since the firm started collecting data in 2000. The SPDR Gold Trust unloaded 12 percent of its gold in April, selling 146 metric tons. There’s no single destination for all the money rushing out of gold, says Cameron Brandt, EPFR’s director of research. The most popular places for investors now are real estate funds, junk bonds, emerging-market bonds and stocks in big companies that pay dividends. One clear trend that Brandt sees is investors pulling cash out of the safety of money-market funds in search of something better. Some of that money appears to be trickling back into the U.S. stock market. So where’s gold headed next?

McHENRY – Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois’ “Let’s Go to Work!” program kicked off in McHenry recently at the Goodwill Retail Store, 2006 N. Richmond Road, McHenry. “Let’s Go to Work!” is a program that provides employment in a supportive work environment with job coaching, training, and case management for program participants. Participants in the “Let’s Go to Work!” program sort and package items, as well as merchandise items in the retail store. According to Goodwill Northern Illinois, this program is a collaboration with McHenry East High School and Johnsburg High School. Goodwill provides work opportunities and pays the students as they are completing their school transition program. “We are fortunate to be able to take part in the program and feel that it is extremely beneficial for our students in shaping their future,” said Dan Johnson, superintendent of Johnsburg School District 12. “We are excited to be able to offer this enriching program to our students.” Twelve participants work in the program three days each week. “This program is a winwin,” said Ed Antczak, McHenry’s Goodwill store manager. “To see the dignity and respect that the participants feel through the power of work is priceless. And knowing that the work they are doing is helping to raise money to fund Goodwill’s programs that impact the lives of many in the area is an additional value.” This is the third location for the “Let’s Go to Work!” program for Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois. Goodwill plans to collaborate with other organizations in the future to bring the “Let’s Go to Work!” program to all communities that it serves. “Goodwill has provided our students an incredible jumping off point into the world of competitive employment,” said Tom Geraci, teacher at Johnsburg High School. “They have done this by offering positions that match student strengths, interests, and needs with the needs of their business. Their staff has been outstanding, and our students love being a part of their work for the community.” For more information about the “Let’s Go to Work!” program, contact Courtney Geiger at 815-987-6226.

U.S. retail sales rise in April on cars, clothing By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – Americans increased their spending in April at retail businesses, buying more cars and clothes while paying less for gas. The rebound from a weak March suggests consumers may help boost economic growth again this spring. Retail sales edged up 0.1 percent in April from March, the Commerce Department said Monday. That’s an improvement from a 0.5 percent decline in March, which was the largest drop in nine months. The April gain was stronger when taking out the effect of lower gas prices, which reduced sales at gas stations 4.7 percent — the largest decline since December 2008. The retail sales report is not adjust-

ed for price changes. When excluding gas station sales, retail spending rose 0.7 percent. And core retail sales, exclude gas, autos and building supplies, increased 0.5 percent. Economists pay close attention to core sales because they strip out the most volatile categories. Sales of autos rose 1 percent in April, rebounding from a 0.6 percent drop in March. Sales at clothing stores increased 1.2 percent and sales at general merchandise stores, a category that covers department stores, rose 1 percent. Sales were also strong at building materials and garden supply stores and electronics and appliance stores. Consumers increased their spending in April, despite paying higher Social Security taxes that has reduced their paychecks this year. Their spending will likely add

to economic growth in the AprilJune quarter. Consumer spending makes up roughly 70 percent of economic activity. “This is a good start to the second quarter,” said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. “The rest of the year is expected to rise further on stronger household finances.” The economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from January through March, up from a 0.4 percent rate in the October-December quarter of 2012. The gain was largely because of the fastest growth in consumer spending in more than two years. But most of the increase came from greater spending at the start of the quarter. Consumers cut back sharply on retail spending in March, while paying more for utilities to heat their homes during a

colder-than-usual month. Some economists worried that the weak month of spending in March was a sign that the tax increase was starting to catch up with the consumer. But other factors appear to have made the consumer more resilient. Steady job growth helped offset some of the pain from the tax increase. The economy added 165,000 jobs in April. And it has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November. That’s well above the monthly average of 138,000 for the previous six months. Cheaper gas is leaving consumers with more disposable income. The national average price has risen slightly over the past week to $3.58 a gallon. But it is still 21 cents lower than the peak price reached on Feb. 27.

8IN BRIEF McDonald’s adding 3 new Quarter Pounders NEW YORK – McDonald’s is adding three new Quarter Pounders to its core menu as the fast-food chain looks to offer cheaper premium burgers while capitalizing on one of its most popular brands. The company, based in Oak Brook, said the new burgers will replace its meatier Angus Third Pounders, which were among the most expensive items on its menu at around $4 to $5. The Quarter Pounders will come in two of the same varieties as the Angus burgers – Bacon and Cheese and Deluxe. The third option will be Habanero Ranch. McDonald’s Corp., which has about 14,000 U.S. locations, says the new burgers will roll out nationally in mid-June.

U.S. business stockpiles flat in March, sales fall WASHINGTON – U.S. businesses left their stockpiles unchanged in March for a second straight month while their sales fell sharply. The Commerce Department said Monday that business stockpiles showed no increase in March on a seasonally adjusted basis. Businesses hadn’t upped their restocking in February, either. Sales fell 1.1 percent in March, offsetting a 1 percent gain in February. A lack of inventory building could slow economic growth because it means businesses are ordering fewer factorymade goods, especially when sales are falling. For March, manufacturers and retailers both increased their stockpiles 0.2 percent, while wholesale businesses cut their inventories 0.3 percent.

Keys to building great business relationships I read an interesting article recently by Reid Hoffman, CEO of LinkedIn, where he wrote: “Opportunities do not float like clouds. They are firmly attached to individuals. If you’re looking for an opportunity, you’re really looking for people. If you’re evaluating an opportunity, you’re really evaluating people. If you’re trying to marshal resources to go after an opportunity, you’re really trying to enlist the support and involvement of other people. A company doesn’t offer you a job, people do. Opportunities flow through congregations of people. Those with good ideas and information tend to hang out with one another. You will get ahead if you can tap the circles that dish the best opportunities. In fact, it’s how people have gotten ahead for centuries.” It was interesting to read how somebody who has made a fortune through online social media to point out (the obvious) that it takes inperson, face-to-face effort to build real business relationships. And, in this give-and-take world, the priority for building those relationships has to be on giving. People can see right through the taker only. In “Business Relationship Building Skills – Benefits & Tips for Success,” author Kalen Smith writes about some ways to help building

• GOLD Continued from page B4 The answer depends partly on where you think inflation is headed. At one extreme, Schiff and others in his camp believe the Fed will eventually let inflation loose and gold will hit $2,000. “They’re going to print and print until money is worthless, or they run out of trees,” Schiff says. “I think people will look back at this time period and think, ‘Wow, what a great opportunity.’” Others see no reason for gold to resume its climb. They point to a recent academic study that said current consumer prices imply a gold price below $800 an ounce. Gold forecasts from Wall Street banks sit somewhere in the middle. Samuel Lee, an ETF strategist at Morningstar in Chicago, has less than 5 percent of a portfolio he manages in gold, and plans to keep it that way. He considers gold a protection against infla-

CHAMBER NEWS Gary Reece great relationships: • Keep up with people. It sounds basic, but we’re starting to forget how to do it. You are going to have to maintain your relationships. If you don’t talk to someone for months, you’ll fall off their radar, or they may not immediately jump at the chance to help you when you finally reach out to them and ask. • Build trust. Never take advantage of people. Don’t even let them think that you’d do so. When you are willing to forego your own interests to help someone else, they know they can rely on you. Do the right thing and be dependable, and you’ll see your relationships grow stronger. • Network. The ability to network is the key to building successful relationships and you have many options available to you. I am a member of my chamber of commerce, a rotary group, a nonprofit board of directors, and a business incubator. However, networking doesn’t have to be this formal. You can strike up a friendly conversation with someone at the gym. As long as you are engaging with other people, you are actively

networking. Even if you aren’t much of a people person, you can put yourself out there a little bit so that you can make some great contacts. • Show an interest in others. Pretentious people who talk about themselves all the time don’t get very far. Smart people know that an early step to gaining respect and building a relationship is to show interest in other people. • Work hard. People want to invest in someone who is going to provide results. You might need to show them that you can deliver before you can expect them to have your back or put in a good word for you. When someone asks for something, give a little more. Deliver early and take initiative to help in ways you weren’t asked. It takes effort to build relationships with bosses, colleagues, friends, and family, and you might have to be the first one to do a favor. • Focus on giving. Similarly, many people want to build relationships so that they can have someone to help them out when they need it. Try to have a less Machiavellian attitude. Always think about how you can help people in your network. They’re far more likely to return a favor than they are to go out of their way for you, especially early in your relationship. • Focus on quality, not quantity.

tion over the very long-term – from 50 to 100 years. Lee says he isn’t sure where gold prices are going this year or the next, “but I’m convinced they won’t do as well as stocks.” He adds, “I’m not really a big believer in gold. I’m fully aware that it can lose me a lot of money. I just care that it gives me some diversification.” With banks looking stable and the economy slowly improving, there’s less of a need to hide in the gold market. Fear of another financial crisis has diminished. Ralph Preston, a market analyst and broker at Heritage West Financial in San Diego, Calif., envisions a few scenarios in which gold could shoot higher this year. If the war in Syria spreads, or if North Korea launches an attack on other countries in Asia, it could head back above $1,900. “Owning a little bit of gold is probably not a bad idea,” he says. “But I don’t think we’ll be using it to buy groceries someday.”

People want to make an impression, but not every contact has the potential to turn into a relationship. A mentor once advised me that the best goal at a networking event is to get just one good business card. Follow up with anyone who you may have a quality relationship with later. *** The Barn Nursery & Landscape, 8109 Route 31, Cary, will host a multichamber mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. today. Plan on attending to strengthen your relationship building. *** Behind every great man, there is even a greater woman. Novelist Isabel Allende once said, “You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.” Joyce Dwyer was constantly giving and spending of herself.

I am only sorry that I am out of town and cannot pay my final respects but comforted knowing that you’re once again by Bill’s side.

“After 2 weeks my blood sugar went from 180 to 112 and stayed there!”

Heart Surgeon Hails Breakthrough “Antioxidant” Diabetic Drink As ‘A Miracle’! Naturally improves blood sugar, cholesterol, circulation, energy and more in as little as 2 weeks! If your blood sugar levels are not in balance, you feel it. You may be plagued by weight gain, food cravings, mood swings, low energy, poor circulation, frequent pain, and even memory lapses. There is good news and it comes in the form of a ‘ﬁzzy’ drink called OPC FactorTM, which quickly revitalizes your entire body and mind. Healthy Blood Sugar The ‘miracle’ is a powerful blend of all natural super antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanadins, or OPCs, including grape seed, green tea, pine bark, and red wine extracts, along with lemon bioﬂavonoids, resveratrol, and 30 naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

OPC Factor™ greatly supports blood circulation which promotes healthy blood ﬂow, crucial for those with blood sugar problems,” states Dr. Vagnini. No More Horse Pills to Swallow “Some pills and tablets have absorption rates as low as 2 to 20%,” says Dr. Vagnini. “OPC Factor’s™ formula is powered by a revolutionary, highspeed Isotonic ‘liquid’ delivery system. It mimics the body’s pH; having the same pH levels as blood and tears, the nutrients readily absorb at amazing rate of 97%!” Results in Minutes! Actual blood scans taken twenty minutes apart show

how OPC Factor™ provides immediate support for healthy circulation. Clinical Study Proves It! “I can feel it when I drink it. It gives me a lot of energy,” says Ken Murdock. A National Institute of Health funded “Double Blind” clinical study published on July 2, 2008, supports customer claims about energy. And that may translate to better sleep, moods, and overall balance. Studies have found that free radicals produce oxidation that disrupts insulin sensitivity. (oligomeric OPC FactorTM proanthocyanadins) work 2050 times faster than traditional antioxidants against oxidation. OPC’s enhance insulin’s ability to support healthy blood sugar. David Payne, from Texas, echoes this. “Since taking OPC Factor™, it’s easier to support my

“I started taking OPC Factor and approximately a week after, I went back and had my blood checked. My blood sugar had dropped from about a 180 down to a 112. I had been having back problems and it seemed to resolve that. I like the taste. The taste is very pleasant. It has helped my overall health. The thing that I’ve noticed the most is the lack of back pain. I’ve just felt good this past year,” rejoices Doyle Allen, ID.

High blood sugar can lead to all sorts of serious conditions so it’s vital to keep it under control.

A surprising beneﬁt of the OPC Factor™ formula is the mental clarity and energy many users experience after just a few days. Why? “The brain is over 90% fat, making it a perfect place for nasty free radicals to hide. They hitch a ride in your bloodstream and are transported into your brain where they create havoc.

Jake Johnson breaks out on season 2 of ‘New Girl’ Season one of Fox’s “New Girl” introduced TV fans to the “adorkable” Zooey Deschanel and the hilarity of Max Greenfield. Both earned Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations for their work. As season two wraps up today, their co-star Jake Johnson is emerging as another one to watch – both on the series and in Hollywood. On “New Girl,” Johnson plays Nick Miller, one of Deschanel’s three male roommates. He’s a curmudgeonly, 30-something, broke bartender who gave up on his potential somewhere along the way. Secretly, though, he has a big heart and a desire to do more – which is largely inspired by his crush on Deschanel’s Jess. No one could be happier about Nick’s development than the 34-year-old Johnson. “It felt like season one I was asked more to just support other people’s stories a lot. I was very happy [in] season two that Nick kind of came out of his shell and was given great stories and the writers really found him,” Johnson said in a recent interview. The Nick-Jess dynamic has come to a head this season with some viewers asking if it was too soon to pair up the characters. Johnson said that as an actor, it felt like the right time. “Getting them together where if [Nick’s] trying and screwing up or if they break up and he’s heartbroken, I understand that more,” he said. “Trying this thing is more honest.” Meanwhile, Johnson is expanding his horizons off-screen as well. He has a film called “Drinking Buddies” with Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick and Ron Livingston coming out this summer. A movie called “The Pretty One” with Zoe Kazan premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. This summer, Johnson will head to Atlanta to shoot a buddy-cop movie alongside Damon Wayans Jr. and Nina Dobrev.

In a high-flying, perfectly pitched first, an astronaut on the International Space Station is bowing out of orbit with a musical video: his own custom version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” It’s believed to be the first music video made in space, according to NASA. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s personalized rendition of “Space Oddity” was posted on YouTube Sunday, one day before his departure from the orbiting lab. He’s wrapping up a five-month mission that began last December. His return aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, along with American Thomas Marshburn and Russian Roman Romanenko, was set for late Monday in Kazakhstan. Hadfield, 53, a longtime guitarist who played in an astronaut rock ‘n’ roll band, recorded the video throughout the space station.

Walters announces retirement Barbara Walters said Monday retirement from her epochal television career is near, but it’s not happening right away. Walters, who began in television news as a “Today” girl in 1961, became the medium’s best-known interviewer and invented a daytime talk show at an age many people would be going fishing, said on “The View” that she will step away from the camera next summer. Before that, her retirement tour will include TV specials looking back at her work. The announcement brought the 83-year-old Walters to tears. While not necessarily a surprise – reports about the plan leaked out about a month ago and it was confirmed by ABC on Sunday night – the discussion was alternately saucy and emotional. “In the summer of 2014 I plan to retire from appearing on television at all,” Walters said. Besides continuing to appear on “The View” and reporting for ABC News in the next year, Walters will host a 20-year retrospective of her most fascinating people series in December, an Oscars special and a career retrospective next May. “I’ve had an amazing career – beyond anything I could have imagined,” Walters said, “and I hope I have inspired some other women both in front of and behind the camera.”

GAME 4: HEAT 88, BULLS 65

Bulls barely running on fumes Bulls vs. Heat Monday, May 6: Bulls 93, Miami 86 Wednesday: Miami 115, Bulls 78 Friday: Miami 104, Bulls 94 Monday: Miami 88, Bulls 65, Heat lead series, 3-1 Wednesday: Bulls at Miami, 6 p.m., TNT Friday: Miami at Bulls, 7 or 8:30 p.m., ESPN, if necessary Sunday: Bulls at Miami, time TBA, TNT, if necessary All games on AM-1000

Series shifts back to Miami with Bulls down 3-1 CHICAGO – The person responsible for running the large United Center video board and keeping a late-arriving crowd engaged Monday night certainly had his work cut out for him. But I’ll be darned if he didn’t try everything. Drums pounded. Trumpets blared. Video images of Bulls championship teams of the past flashed across the screen. Cartoon cups of coffee raced around the streets of Chicago, popular dance music filled the air. Crickets.

VIEWS Jeff Arnold Fans in the nosebleed seats high above where the Bulls’ forgettable 88-65 loss to Miami in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals took the baton from the videoboard operator. They chanted. They whistled. But by the time their verbal efforts drifted to the floor, the energy – much like the team they handed over their hard-earned money to root for – evaporated into nothing. By the end of the third quarter – the 12-minute stretch when the Bulls scored all of nine points – fans had all but given up. When Marco Belineilli air-balled a 3-point at-

tempt, groans barely escaped. When Joakim Noah air-mailed a pass three rows behind the Heat bench, the displeasure amounted to nothing more than a quiet, collective sigh. And when LeBron James, who has received virtually every form of verbal abuse during his Second City visit, lined up to breeze past a Bulls defender as time ticked off the clock, the boos that had become commonplace every time James touched the ball never materialized. At that point, fans figured, it didn’t matter. Nothing worked. Not for the video board dude. Not for the AP photo Bulls, who now face a all-but-imBulls center Joakim Noah is fouled from behind by possible 3-1 deficit heading into Heat guard Dwyane Wade during the second half of Wednesday’s Game 5 in Miami.

BASEBALL: MCHENRY 7, HUNTLEY 0

PRAIRIE RIDGE 1, CARY-GROVE 0

Reisinger holds Huntley scoreless Red Raiders have 2 chances to clinch FVC Valley title outright By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Despite the less than ideal situation, the Trojans were poised to escape the inning. Trojans starter Lauren Stanley struck out the next batter on four pitches for the second out of the sixth. However, the error thwarted C-G (18-4, 9-3 FVC Valley) from carrying a scoreless game into the seventh. “It was an outstanding game. I think any time you’ve got to have a little bit of a mistake to win a game like this,” C-G coach Tammy Olson said. Prairie Ridge (24-3, 10-2) bent but didn’t break in the early innings

HUNTLEY – The scouting report called for McHenry pitcher Andrew Reisinger to attack Huntley’s powerful lineup with a variety of off-speed and breaking pitches. After two quick innings and 12 pitches combined, Reisinger’s success dictated otherwise. The 6-foot-4 senior right-hander thrived on location and movement, sticking mainly with his fastball as the Warriors defeated Huntley, 7-0, on Monday in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division baseball game. Huntley (22-4 overall, 14-4 FVC Valley) clinched a share of the FVC Valley title Friday and has one remaining game at 7 p.m. Thursday against McHenry at Petersen Park. If Crystal Lake South loses its final division game at Dundee-Crown today, the Raiders win outright. If South wins, Huntley would need to beat McHenry for sole possession of the championship. Reisinger struck out two, walked two and allowed six hits in becoming only the second pitcher to shut out the Red Raiders. Jacobs’ Evan Blunk defeated Huntley, 1-0. “It was probably the best pitching job we’ve had against us all year,” said Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski, whose team averages 9.7 runs a game. “He did a real nice job running the ball in on our hands and got a lot of ground-ball outs.” Reisinger (3-3) estimated 90 percent of his 81 pitches were fastballs and was thrilled to quiet the area’s most prolific lineup. “It feels amazing,” said Reisinger, who recently announced he would attend NCAA Division I Illinois-Chicago as a preferred walkon. “Credit to the team for coming out and hitting right away. It was phenomenal. I was hitting my spots, which was working really well. I was going inside and jamming them, that’s why we got so many double plays.” McHenry turned three double plays and committed no errors behind Reisinger.

mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge pinch runner Rachel Crimaldi had only one goal as she stood on second base: score. With the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title awarded to Monday’s winner between Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove, runs were at a premium the deeper the game went. Still scoreless in the sixth inning, Crimaldi ran as fast as she could when teammate Sammy Hempen hit a hard grounder to shortstop with two outs. But instead of the ground ball resulting in the final out of the inning, a bobbled catch at first allowed Hempen to reach base while Crimaldi scored to give the Wolves a 1-0 lead, which stood as the final. That was all the run support pitcher Kirsten Stevens needed. She struck out two in the seventh, her last one a strikeout looking to end the game to give the Wolves the FVC Valley title.

off the sixth and a sacrifice bunt on the next pitch, advanced the goahead run – pinch runner Crimaldi – into scoring position and put the pressure on Cary-Grove with one out.

BULLS NOTES

Thibodeau changes his tune on refs By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Maybe a $35,000 fine from the league office was enough to change Tom Thibodeau’s tune when it comes to officiating in the NBA playoffs. Three days after he insisted his team wouldn’t get any calls against Miami, Thibodeau said the series isn’t about officiating – and never has been. The Bulls were whistled for 10 technical fouls and had three players ejected in the series’ first three games. Although Thibodeau said his players can’t get wrapped up “in the things that are unim-

portant,” he knows the Bulls – still playing without guards Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich – can’t afford to change their playing style. Forward Luol Deng was shifted to active status just before Monday’s game. “For us, we’re shorthanded, we understand we have to do it collectively and we have to do it with great intensity,” Thibodeau said before Monday night’s Game 4 at the United Center. “That’s our only chance.” Numbers game: Four Bulls starters – Nate Robinson, Marco Belinelli, Joakim Noah and Jimmy Butler – are averaging at least 40 minutes a game, but given what they’re up against and

the limited nature of his team’s roster, Thibodeau doesn’t have plans to expand his bench. With Rose, Hinrich and Deng out, Carlos Boozer along with reserves Taj Gibson, Marquis Teague and Nazr Mohammed have been the extent of Thibodeau’s Tom players to see Thibodeau floor time. Thibodeau said much of his minutes game plan has to do with match-ups. Miami’s LeBron James is averaging 45 minutes, forward

Chris Bosh is on the floor for 42 and guard Dwyane Wade is playing 35 while Ray Allen is coming off the bench as a valuable reserve. “You have to be concerned about what’s going on in games,” Thibodeau said. “It’s the playoffs and you have days off in between (games) and so most teams have a seven- or eight-man rotation right now.” Getting defensive: Noah was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team Monday, becoming the first Bulls player to earn the honor since the 199798 season when Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were named to the first team.

Vikings unveil design of new stadium MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Vikings will have a translucent roof and moveable front windows on their new stadium. Designer Bryan Trubey of Dallas-based HKS Architects presented images of the $975 million project to a crowd of fans, public officials and members of the Vikings organization Monday night. The event took place at the Guthrie Theater, a few blocks from where the stadium will be built in downtown Minneapolis. It will replace the 31-yearold Metrodome, which the Vikings will vacate after the 2013 season. They’ll play outside at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium for two years while the new venue is under construction.

Ex-Jaguars WR Smith serving prison term JACKSON, Miss. – Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith has begun serving a six-year prison term in Mississippi for drug possession and weapons charges, online state corrections records show. The Mississippi Department of Corrections’ website said the 44-year-old Smith entered the prison system in late March and recently was moved to a facility in Yazoo City. He was sentenced by a Madison County court to two years for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and four years for possession of cocaine, records show.

Giants co-owner: Tebow to Jets was mistake New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said he thinks Tim Tebow’s time with the Jets was a mistake. Tisch told TMZ in a video posted on its website Monday that Tebow going to the Jets last offseason from Denver was “not in anybody’s best interest.” TMZ spoke to Tisch in Los Angeles on Sunday. Tebow was released by the Jets two weeks ago after one disappointing and unproductive season in New York. Tisch says he feels “badly for the guy,” and if any team other than the Jets had acquired him “maybe he’d have a career.”

Astros president resigns DETROIT – George Postolos is leaving the Houston Astros, despite what he insists are better days ahead for the struggling team. Postolos resigned as president and CEO of the Astros on Monday, returning to sports consulting work in the midst of what looks as though it could be the team’s third consecutive season of at least 100 losses. – Wire reports

Noah joined Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen, Miami’s LeBron James, New York’s Tyson Chandler and L.A. Clippers guard Chris Paul on the first team. But as pleased as Thibodeau was with Noah’s performance, Thibodeau said he believes the 28-year-old center still has room to grow. “I think down the road, Joakim has a very good chance of being Defensive Player of the Year,” Thibodeau said. “[He has the] ability to defend all five positions, every aspect of the game – individual defense, team defense, rebounding, multiple effort – he’s a very unique player.”

WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS: RED WINGS VS. BLACKHAWKS

Blackhawks expect intense series with the Red Wings Quenneville’s club swept season series By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville assumed the role of a Detroit Red Wings defender Monday as he tried to poke-check the puck away from some of his players. “I used to be better,” Quenneville said with a chuckle after practice. “Our guys are good.” A five-day break between games has put the coach in a good mood. Look for smiles to be replaced by glares this week when the No. 1 seed Hawks face off against the No. 7 seed Wings in the Western Conference semifinals. The best-of-seven series will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the United Center. Although the Hawks went 4-0 against the Wings during the 48-game regular season, the “Original Six” rivals have not met in the playoffs since 2009.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Afterward, Nate Robinson, who missed each of his 12 shots on a night when the Bulls shot 25.7 percent from the floor, sat in front of his locker with an ice pack wrapped around his shoulder. A few feet away, Noah slumped in his chair waiting to put his feet into a blue Rubbermaid container filled with ice water. Both acknowledged how badly things had gone. They admitted how the 55 shots the Bulls missed had drained their energy and and how miserable defense made things way too easy for the NBA’s defending champions. But just as quickly, both suggested the Bulls – depleted and deflated as they are – aren’t yet dead in the water. “We’re not worn out at all,” Robinson said. “There’s a lot of basketball left. We’ll be all right.” Maybe that’s true for the Heat, who, despite playing far from their best game, made Monday night’s victory look simple. But to suggest that the Bulls – whose third-leading scorer in the loss was Rip Hamilton (let that sink in for a minute) somehow can muster up enough energy to bring the series back home Friday night is outrageous. “For us, we just have to go [to Miami] and get that one (game),” Robinson said. “Then, we’ll come back home and try and steal another one. One game at a time.” Realistically, one game is all the Bulls have left. They’ve played courageously all year without Derrick Rose and during these playoffs without Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich. But Monday’s lackluster showing proved that this team is doing nothing more than running on fumes. At some point, being undermanned and overwhelmed talentwise was going to catch up with the Bulls. We’ve reached that point and the city now belongs to the Blackhawks. Even if the team that shares space in the United Center with the NHL’s best team won’t admit it. “It’s not easy and it is what it is,” Noah said. “But we can’t feel sorry for ourselves. We’ve just got to keep fighting. ... We’re disappointed, but we just have to forget about it and move on.”

NHL ROUNDUP

Grizzlies win in OT Bruins, Rangers triumph in Game 7s The ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tony Allen scored on a driving layup to open overtime and the Memphis Grizzlies held off the Oklahoma City Thunder, 103-97, on Monday night to push the defending Western Conference champions to the edge of elimination. The Grizzlies shook off a first half in which they

couldn’t hit shots and the Thunder seemingly couldn’t miss in building their largest lead in this series at 17 points. But the Grizzlies have yet to lose on their home court this postseason, and they won their third straight and seventh in eight games to grab a 3-1 lead in the series. Game 5 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City. The Grizzlies outscored the Thunder 9-3 in overtime.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – Patrice Bergeron tied it with 51 seconds left in regulation then scored the game-winner 6:05 into overtime Monday night to give Boston a 5-4 victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 7 as the Bruins turned back Toronto’s comeback with a rally of their own. Tuukka Rask stopped 24 shots for Boston, which led the best-of-seven series 3-1 before

the Maple Leafs won two in a row to force a seventh game. Toronto opened a 4-1 lead in the third period of the decisive game, but Boston cut the deficit to two midway through the third period and then scored twice in the final 82 seconds to force overtime. James Reimer made 30 saves for the Maple Leafs. Rangers 5, Capitals 0: At Washington, led by Henrik Lundqvist’s 35 saves in a sec-

ond straight shutout, and goals from some unlikely sources, New York beat Washington in Game 7 to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York contained Alex Ovechkin again and completed its comeback after trailing in the series 2-0 and 3-2 – the latest in Washington’s long history of playoff collapses. Sixth-seeded New York faces No. 4 Boston in the second round.

8INSIDE BASEBALL Athlete of the Week BRYCE ONLY Huntley, sr. Only contributed in a big way as the Red Raiders were 3-0 for the week and clinched a share of first place in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division. Only had five hits in three games, four for extra bases. The Nebraska signee was 1 for 4 in Tuesday’s 5-1, 11-inning victory at Cary-Grove, but the one hit was pivotal. He doubled in the 11th to score Mark Skonieczny from first base and the Raiders went on to score four runs. Only pitched the first six innings of that game, limiting C-G to two hits and one earned run. He walked three and struck out five. On Thursday, Only was 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI as the Raiders rolled over C-G, 12-0, in five innings. On Friday, he was 2 for 4 with a double and a home run and two RBIs.

Noteworthy Pitching in: Only earned his high school reputation as a tough hitter by starting at third base, as a freshman, on the Raiders’ 2010 team that finished fourth in the IHSA Class 4A state tournament. Nebraska recruited him for his ability to hit, but this season he has added another dimension for Huntley on the mound. Only, who has not pitched before in high school, said he thinks the last time he pitched he was in eighth grade playing travel baseball. Still, Huntley’s coaches saw something in the offseason, so Only started working more. “Bryce has learned how to become a pitcher,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski said. “He’s been able to spot pitches and get ahead with his fastball, and his changeup is outstanding. And he’s been able to locate his curveball. He’s done a tremendous job.” Only had his worst outing of the season Monday in a 7-0 loss to McHenry, and at 3-4 has absorbed all the Raiders’ losses. “He’s pitched better than his record indicates,” Jakubowski said. Regional talk: Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro was a little miffed that McHenry was voted the No. 4 seed in its own Class 4A Regional, which starts next week. Pecoraro gave McHenry the top nod with his vote. Grant is the top seed, followed by Prairie Ridge, Grayslake North, McHenry and Round Lake. Cary-Grove got the top seed at Jacobs, with Crystal Lake South and Jacobs right behind. Those teams all split their FVC Valley series, so that regional should be quite competitive. Huntley got the top seed at DeKalb, where Dundee-Crown is No. 2, which sets up nicely for the Raiders to play in the sectional they host.

This week’s top games Hampshire vs. Crystal Lake Central, 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Fred Tipps Field Central starts the week one game behind Grayslake North and Grayslake Central in the FVC Fox Division, so the Tigers need two wins and a little help for a share of the division title.

against C-G. The Trojans put runners on first and second with one out in both the first and second innings against Stevens. But the senior pitcher worked around both threats and held the Trojans to two base runners (two singles) in the final five innings. “It was a little bit of a rough start in the beginning but I knew our defense was strong behind me,” Stevens said. “I knew they would make the plays, and as the game progressed, the score definitely built up my confidence.” The division title is Prairie Ridge’s first in four years and first since joining the Valley Division. “I’m so proud of my team,” Stevens said.

Jakubowski: A loss isn’t a bad thing sometimes • WARRIORS-RAIDERS Continued from page C1 The Warriors (19-7, 11-6) scored five times in the second off starter Bryce Only. That was plenty of support for Reisinger. Kyle Snedeker, Payton Lykins and Jordan Witbeck all had first-pitch singles in that inning, while Adam Mattson, Cody Freund and Cole Hoeppel-Tranter drew three consecutive walks. Freund, McHenry’s junior catcher, said the Warriors took some momentum from Saturday’s 14-8 victory against Prairie Ridge. “We had a lot of confidence going in,” Freund said. “We sat on first-pitch fastballs and everybody was taking good hacks, keeping their heads down, staying short. [First pitches] are usually the best pitch because the pitcher wants to get ahead.” Huntley’s best threat came in the fifth inning when Tommy Kiriakopoulos and Tyler Mindak singled with one out.

Reisinger then got a sharp grounder from pinch hitter Nick Cusumano, hitting in the No. 9 spot, for the Warriors’ third double play. “It was a tough adjustment seeing faster pitching than we’ve seen the last two or three games,” Huntley leadoff man Colin Lyman said. “We’ve seen a lot of junk pitchers. His fastballs were getting in on our hands. We were having trouble getting used to that.” Rockweiler said even though the Warriors are out of the division race, they talked about affecting the race in any way possible. Jakubowski said the loss might not be all bad. “Sometimes it’s OK to lose,” he said. “It knocks you off your pedestal and makes you want to want it a little bit more. We have a phrase where we don’t want to drink the Kool-Aid. I think maybe we did a little bit. Maybe it knocks us down a little bit and it’s a learning experience so we don’t carry that over into the playoffs (next week).”

“We’ve progressed and matured this year, and it’s an excellent feeling going out with a win.” Olson wouldn’t reveal whether Lindsay Efflandt will be ready for the playoffs, which begin May 21, but should the Trojans still be without their ace, they will go with Stanley. She has pitched well in Efflandt’s absence, even in Monday’s loss. Stanley struck out five and allowed seven hits in six innings against the Wolves. She was supported by a great defense behind her, which included a run-saving sliding catch in center field by Lisa Semro to end the fifth. “[Stanley] has been doing an outstanding job not only becoming a second pitcher, but then having to step in and fill the shoes of Lindsay and becoming a day-to-day pitcher,” Olson said.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Wood solid as Cubs cruise past Rockies Next

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Travis Wood pitched seven scoreless innings and the Chicago Cubs came within two outs of their first shutout since last August in a 9-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. Alfonso Soriano homered for the Cubs, who have won three straight for the second time this season. The Cubs’ 14 hits were one short of a season high. Josh Rutledge hit a home run off Carlos Marmol with

vs. Colorado, 7:05 p.m. Tuesday, CSN, AM-720 one out in the ninth, ruining the Cubs’ bid for their first shutout win since they beat Colorado on Aug. 26. The Cubs have gone 74 games between shutouts, their longest streak since going 75 in a row from May 15 until Aug. 6, 1999, according to STATS.

Wood (4-2) allowed two hits while striking out two for his major league-leading eighth quality start. He’s the first Cubs pitcher since Hippo Vaughn in 1919 to start with eight quality starts. Wood also had two hits and an RBI. Juan Nicasio (3-1) recovered from a shaky first two innings to last six for Colorado, allowing five runs and eight hits in his first loss of the season. Nicasio, who hasn’t won since beating Arizona on April 26, allowed all five runs over the first two innings but

finished with four scoreless. The Rockies have lost five of six and have scored 12 runs over those games. They were shut out twice over the weekend by St. Louis before scoring eight runs Sunday. The Cubs, who were coming off two straight wins at Washington, scored early. With two outs in the first, Soriano gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead with his fourth home run. It was Soriano’s 376th of his career, tying him for 69th all-time with former Red Sox and White Sox catcher Carl-

ton Fisk. The home run, during which left fielder Carlos Gonzalez didn’t move, continued Nicasio’s first-inning problems. Heading into Monday, Nicasio had a 9.00 ERA and was allowing opponents to hit .333 against him during seven first innings. Soriano’s home run was the fourth Nicasio has allowed in the opening frame. The Cubs added to their lead with three in the third on two-out RBI doubles from Wood and Starlin Castro.

Hicks’ bat, glove help Twins beat White Sox

Cubs lock up Rizzo

By ADAM CZECH The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Rookie Aaron Hicks hit two home runs and made a leaping catch in center field to take a home run away from Adam Dunn in the Minnesota Twins’ 10-3 win over the White Sox on Monday night. Justin Morneau extended his hitting streak to nine games with three hits and four RBIs, including a bases-clearing double that capped the scoring in the eighth. Hicks, who missed the previous two games because of a sore right elbow, led off the fourth inning with a 416-foot solo homer that bounced in front of the black batter’s eye in center field and gave the Twins a 5-2 lead. With a runner on third and the Twins holding onto a 5-3 lead in the sixth, Dunn drove a pitch from reliever Josh Roenicke deep to center that appeared to be headed for the same spot Hicks’ blast landed. However, the Twins’ rookie sprinted back, leaped high, Next and caught the ball at Minnesota, above the wall, falling to the ground and 7:10 p.m. grinning as he opened Tuesday, his glove to show the WCIU, AM-670 ball to the umpire. After getting congratulated by teammates jogging off the field, Hicks hit his second home run in the bottom of the sixth, this one landing in the bullpen in left-center. Dunn and Hicks entered the game tied for the lowest batting average in baseball (.137) among qualifiers. When the night was over, Hicks’ average was .152 and Dunn’s .133. Twins starter Pedro Hernandez (20) allowed three runs on six hits in 5 1-3 innings. The left-hander, who came to the Twins in a trade with the Sox for Francisco Liriano, retired 14 of the next 15 batters he faced after giving up two runs in the first inning. Alex Rios had two RBIs for the Sox, who are last in the American League in batting average and runs scored. Alejandro De Aza and Alexei Ramirez each had three hits. Hector Santiago (1-2) allowed six runs – three earned – on eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had only allowed one earned run in his previous two starts. The Twins loaded the bases with nobody out and took advantage of Ramirez’s error at shortstop to score four runs in the third. The inning was capped by Trevor Plouffe’s tworun double. The Sox loaded the bases against Jared Burton in the eighth, but pinch-hitter Conor Gillaspie grounded out to first. Notes: Sox LHP Chris Sale, who threw a one-hit shutout in Sunday’s win against Los Angeles, woke up in pain with an abscessed tooth that needed to be pulled. Manager Robin Ventura said that won’t affect Sale’s next start, a rematch on the road against the Angels. ... Sox LHP John Danks gave up three runs in six innings Sunday in a rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte. Recovering from shoulder surgery in August, Danks will make at least one more start in the minors, Ventura said. ... Twins SS Pedro Florimon, who missed all three games of the series over the weekend against Baltimore because of a tight right hamstring, returned to the lineup.

First baseman agrees to $41M, 7-year deal

Cubs first baseball Anthony Rizzo flies out against the Rockies during the first inning Monday at Wrigley Field. Bumgarner ($5,592,667) have higher averages. “I think it’s a great matchup for both sides,” Hoyer said. “It is unusual that it is early, but I think our knowledge of Anthony and our belief in him as a person makes that possible.” Hoyer declined to say if the Cubs are negotiating new deals with other players, but said he “certainly” hopes there are others who follow Rizzo. Rizzo was selected out of high school in the sixth round of the 2007 amateur draft by Boston, a time when Epstein and Hoyer were running the Red Sox front office. Hoyer was the Padres’ general manager when San Diego dealt for Rizzo. He was treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2008 and played only 21 games that season. He recovered, became a top prospect and was dealt to San Diego in December 2010 as part of the Adrian Gonzalez trade. Rizzo then played 49 games for the Padres in 2011 but struggled, hitting .141 with one homer and RBIs. He was traded to the Cubs in January 2012 for Andrew Cashner. Rizzo was batting only.173 heading into the game at Miami on April 26. He hit a 420-foot home run to center

and a 413-foot shot to the upper deck in right field that day for his second career two-homer game. It also gave him eight for the season, the most by a Cubs left-handed hitter in April. In August, the Cubs gave shortstop Starlin Castro a $60 million, seven-year contract. “I feel happy because I feel like I have him and me for a long time here,” Castro said. And manager Dale Sveum thought the deal bodes well for a team without a World Series title since 1908. It’s pretty important to all of us, the city, the organization, to have somebody like that locked up for that long,” he said. Notes: If an option is declined, the buyout is payable the following Jan. 15. If Rizzo wins the NL MVP or finishes among the top five in MVP voting at least twice, his 2019 salary increases to $12 million and the option prices go up to $16.5 million. In addition, if he finishes among the top two in NL MVP voting in any year through 2019 and then is traded, he can void the 2021 option. Rizzo also gets a hotel suite for road trips. His deal was negotiated by agent Marc Pollack of Sports One Athlete Management.

Cleveland, Yankees split doubleheader CLEVELAND – Vidal Nuno pitched five innings of three-hit ball to win his first major league start, Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay had two RBIs apiece and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 7-0 Monday for a doubleheader split. Justin Masterson pitched a four-hitter for his third career shutout as the Indians won the opener 1-0 and stopped the Yankees’ five-game winning streak. Pitching in just his second game for the Yankees, Nuno (1-1) walked three and struck out three. The former Cleveland draft pick became the only left-hander other than CC Sabathia or Andy Pettitte to start for New York since 2008. Yankees rookie Adam Warren finished the five-hitter for his first big league save. Tigers 7, Astros 2: At Detroit, Andy

NATIONAL LEAGUE

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Cubs have viewed Anthony Rizzo as a part of their future since they acquired him. Now he’s locked in. The slugging first baseman and the Cubs agreed Monday to a $41 million, seven-year contract that could be worth up to $68 million over nine seasons. “We believe in Anthony,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “We think he’s going to be a very big part of our future here in Chicago, and we’re excited to get a deal done.” The 23-year-old is hitting .280 with a .352 on-base percentage. He also has nine home runs and 28 RBIs in his third major league season. Rizzo realized he was taking “maybe a little bit of a discount now” but said “it’s security for now and it’s a huge weight off my shoulder, my family’s shoulders, my kids’ shoulders, my grandkids’ shoulders.” Hoyer said talks for a new deal began with about two weeks left in spring training but were halted before Opening Day. They restarted less than two weeks ago. Rizzo gets a $2 million signing bonus, of which $250,000 is payable within 30 days of the contract’s approval by Major League Baseball and $1.75 million is payable next Jan. 15. He receives a $750,000 salary this year, up from $498,000 under the agreement he reached in March. He then will earn $1.25 million next year, $5 million apiece in 2015 and 2016, $7 million each in 2017 and 2018 and $11 million in 2019. The Cubs have a $14.5 million option for 2020 with a $2 million buyout. If that is exercised, the Cubs will have a $14.5 million option for 2021 with a $2 million buyout. “This day has come so fast,” Rizzo said. “Looking back on it, when I was a young kid dreaming of this day, it’s a surreal moment.” With chairman Tom Ricketts and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein watching, the Cubs announced a deal that has the highest average annual value ($5,857,143) for a position player with less than two years of major league service. Among pitchers in that service group, Seattle’s Hisashi Iwakuma ($7 million), Toronto’s Ricky Romero ($6.02 million) and San Francisco’s Madison

Dirks hit his first career grand slam, part of a six-run fourth inning for Detroit against Houston. Victor Martinez also homered for the Tigers, who swept four straight in Houston earlier this month and opened this three-game series at Comerica Park with another convincing victory. Anibal Sanchez (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for the Tigers. He struck out eight with one walk. Bud Norris (4-4) allowed seven runs and nine hits in five innings before leaving with lower back spasms. Houston has lost five straight and 15 of 18 – and the Astros also lost standout second baseman Jose Altuve in the second with a jaw injury after he collided with right fielder Jimmy Paredes on a popup. Dirks finished a triple shy of the cycle – a fine performance in the leadoff spot after Austin Jackson went on the disabled list earlier in the day with a pulled left hamstring.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Cardinals 6, Mets 3: At St. Louis, Lance Lynn overcame early control woes and St. Louis used a three-run seventh inning to beat the Mets. Lynn (6-1) allowed three runs on three hits and four walks the first two innings. He only gave up one hit and one walk in his last five innings. He is 4-0 at home this season. Rick Ankiel, signed by the Mets earlier in the day after clearing waivers and playing against the team that revived his career as a position player, just missed a diving catch on Ty Wigginton’s pinchhit bloop double to shallow center off Scott Rice (1-3) to open the seventh. Brewers 5, Pirates 1: At Pittsburgh, Marco Estrada allowed three hits over seven innings and the Brewers beat the sloppy Pirates to snap a four-game losing streak. Norichika Aoki went 3 for 5 with three RBIs and two stolen bases for the Brewers.

Joe Gibbs Racing roars back on track after rocky 2 weeks CHARLOTTE, N.C. – When Joe Gibbs publicly addressed the illegal part found in Matt Kenseth’s engine, the team owner was respectful of NASCAR’s inspection process but adamant about the importance of not sullying Joe Gibbs Racing’s reputation over an infraction he insisted was not intentional. When an appeals board last week reduced most of the penalties NASCAR levied against JGR, Gibbs did not celebrate winning his case. His reaction was reserved, almost subdued, and nothing close to the celebration one might have expected over an issue that was so important to him. Perhaps it’s because JGR chose to do its celebrating on the race track. JGR came roaring back from two rocky weeks fighting NASCAR by blowing the doors off the competition at Darlington Raceway, where it swept last weekend’s races. Kenseth won the Sprint Cup race Saturday night, Kyle Busch won the Nationwide Series race Friday night and nobody came close to challenging the organization. Busch routed the field in the Nationwide race and led JGR drivers Elliott Sadler and Brian Vickers across the finish line. Kenseth wound up fifth to give JGR first, second, third and fifth in the first race of the weekend. In the Cup race, it looked like it was going to be Busch again as he led a race-high 265 laps. But a flat tire in the homestretch caused Busch to fade to a sixth-place finish. Sailing past him was Kenseth for his series-leading third win of the season and teammate Denny Hamlin, who made it a 1-2 JGR finish in Hamlin’s first full race since suffering a compression fracture of a vertebra in his lower back. When asked to explain JGR’s performance at Darlington, team President J.D. Gibbs downplayed any magic formula. “I just think our whole team – we’ve just got a great team from top to bottom, drivers, crew chiefs, guys that travel, guys back at the shop,” Gibbs said. “I think that really pays off on the weekend. It pays off in Nationwide. That’s kind of our training ground for our guys

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer to move up to Cup. Then it pays off in Cup. We have guys that work hard, long hours. They enjoy it. They enjoy winning races, too.” The weekend sweep came on the heels of a trying two weeks for the Gibbs organization. One of the connecting rods in Kenseth’s race-winning engine from Kansas did not meet the minimum weight requirements and NASCAR punished the organization with one of the toughest penalties in recent history. Joe Gibbs didn’t dispute the part was illegal, and manufacturer Toyota accepted full blame. What was important to Gibbs was proving that Joe Gibbs there was no intent to deceive on the part of JGR or Toyota, and that the part did not provide any competitive advantage. So the team went through the appeals process for the first time in its history, and won a rare victory at the first level in getting most of the penalties reduced. Kenseth still had to go to Darlington without crew chief Jason Ratcliff, who had his suspension reduced from six races to one. It made no difference, though, as Kenseth was steady all weekend behind fill-in crew chief Wally Brown and found himself in position to pounce as Busch began to fade for the first Southern 500 win of Kenseth’s career. In some regards, it’s the addition of Kenseth that has pushed JGR to what seems to be a higher level this year. The 2003 champion is the consummate professional on and off the track. He rides out the highs and lows with an even keel, and brings a steadiness the organization hasn’t had since Bobby Labonte departed at the end of 2005. JGR still had a veteran after Labonte left in Tony Stewart, but the temperamental driver was never the role model Hamlin needed. Busch only spent one season with

Stewart at JGR, and when Stewart left in 2009, Hamlin became the most senior driver in the shop – a quiet leader with proven on-track credentials that demand respect from Busch and Hamlin. “I think Denny and Kyle really like having him, hearing what he has to say,” J.D. Gibbs said. “On the race track, he just has a gift. So I think it’s really been a blessing for Joe Gibbs Racing to have him join our team. We look forward to a great future.” Behind the scenes, JGR has also worked extremely hard to overcome shortcomings. The move this year by NASCAR to the new Gen-6 race car was a clean slate for everyone, and JGR seized the opportunity to get out front in development. Employees at the shop studied the new specifications and built new cars around the new weight rules, while the crews worked hard to understand the new rear camber rules and how it affected the rear tires. It’s been clear all season that JGR did its homework: The team has won five of 11 Cup races between Kenseth and Busch, who both rank inside the top-eight in the Sprint Cup standings. Hamlin missed four races with his injury but still ranks 27th, one spot behind Talladega winner David Ragan, and ahead of Danica Patrick and Labonte. In the Nationwide Series, Busch has won five of the eight races he’s entered and Sadler and Vickers are both inside the top-five in points. It’s been seven years since Stewart gave JGR its last Cup title, and the team has gone down swinging several times since with both Busch and Hamlin. It’s too early to tell if this year will be the season JGR puts together a full season, but the performance is high right now. “I think we have been strong in the past, but I think what we’ve learned over all these years is you have to be consistent,” J.D. Gibbs said. “You can’t start off too strong. To me, it’s just that consistency. I think our guys really get that at the shop.”

Tiger wins Players by Derby winner Orb arrives not throwing it away PREAKNESS STAKES, 3:30 P.M. SATURDAY, NBC

By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus never have had a conversation longer than a couple of minutes, and rarely about golf. Maybe it’s because they already think along the same lines when it comes to winning tournaments. The Players Championship was another example of how Woods rarely beats himself. Nicklaus was under the oak tree at Augusta National last month after hitting his ceremonial tee shot when he talked about one that got away, the first time he had a share of the lead going into the final round of a major and didn’t win. It was the 1971 Masters, and he found the water trying to reach the 15th green with a 3-wood. “I don’t like to waste a tournament on one shot,” Nicklaus said. “If I was today thinking about strategy of what I wanted to do on that, I probably wouldn’t have done it. I put myself out of the tournament. One shot shouldn’t be a shot that puts you out of the tournament.” The island green on the TPC Sawgrass is nothing like the 15th at Augusta National, but it’s hard not to think about Nicklaus when reviewing the hole that settled a weekend duel between Woods and Sergio Garcia. Woods was standing on the 17th tee Sunday when he looked over and saw Garcia approaching the par-5 16th green with a putter in hand, realizing he was there in two and at worst would make birdie to tie Woods for the lead. The pin was in its traditional Sunday location, the back right corner behind the bunker. Finding land is always the priority. From there, it’s a bonus to catch the ridge that feeds the golf ball down a gentle slope toward the hole. “The thing is, you can get baited into hitting it over there, and that’s the hard part,” Woods said. “I thought that the prudent play for me was hit it in the center of the green, even left-center, and try and hit kind of a pull-cut. It I hit a pull-cut, it’s going to have a little bit of distance to it, and it might have the shape where it might land up on top and feed down. But when I hit it, a little bit of gust came up and it stalled out.” The ball stayed on the front of the green, leaving a difficult putt from 45 feet. Woods hit a lot of good putts that didn’t go in Sunday. This might have been the best putt that he wasn’t expecting to go in. The pace was perfect, 3 feet away, and he made his par. Mission accomplished. Garcia, who two-putted for birdie on the 16th, was standing on the 17th tee watching

Tiger Woods looks toward the gallery after making par on the 17th hole during the final round of The Players Championship on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

ON THE FRINGE Doug Ferguson Woods make his par. The Spaniard won The Players Championship in 2008 in a playoff on the 17th hole. Paul Goydos came up short and in the water, Garcia found the green. This wasn’t a playoff. Garcia, however, went at the flag and posed over the shot until he saw the splash. “As the ball was in the air I was thinking, ‘Please be right,’ because it was straight at it,” Garcia said. “It was probably 3 feet left of the hole. When it splashed, you think, ‘Well, hopefully I hit a good shot after this and make 4 and still have a chance on the next.’ It’s pretty much as simple as that.” Only it wasn’t that simple. His next shot bounced off the mound framing a bunker and caromed back into the water. He wound up with a quadruple-bogey 7. Adding to his misery, Garcia put his tee shot into the water on the 18th for a double bogey. To say such mistakes never happen to Woods would be to ignore the final hole at Dubai in 2001, when he went for the green on the 18th hole and found water for a double bogey to lose by two shots. He has lost tournaments down the stretch. More often than not, the other guy beats him. Back to Nicklaus, talking about Augusta National, though it can apply to other golf courses and situations. “If you’ve got a 50-50 chance of doing it, I wouldn’t be doing it,” Nicklaus said about high-risk shots. “If you’ve got a 90-10 chance, think real hard about it, and try to make sure you eliminate the 10.” (Nicklaus said he never has talked to Phil Mickelson about this.) Woods made a mistake Sunday when he hit a pop-

hook into the water on the 14th, leading to double bogey that gave hope to about a half-dozen players, at least for a short time. That was because of a bad swing, which is bound to happen over 18 holes of a final round. It’s his head that kept him in the game. “I stayed really patient,” Woods said. “I kept telling myself, ‘That was your only bad swing you made all day. You can still win this tournament.’ ” He figured if he could play the last four holes in 1-under, he would at least get into a playoff. He played the last four in 1 under and won The Players Championship. Of the four players tied for the lead, two went into the water on the 17th – Garcia and Jeff Maggert – while David Lingmerth made a gallant try. He missed an 8-foot birdie chance on the 17th and had to make a 70-foot putt down two ridges on the 18th to tie. He three-putted for bogey. Woods now is 52-4 when he has at least a share of the lead going into the final round on the PGA Tour, which does not count his playoff win over Tom Lehman in La Costa. They were tied for the lead when rain washed out the last round. Woods won in a playoff when Lehman hit into the water, and Woods hit his tee shot to a foot. His four wins this year speak to why Woods is such a good closer. He has yet to break 70 in the final round in those four wins. He didn’t need to. Of the 52 times that Woods won with at least a share of the lead after 54 holes, his average score in the final round is 70.5. The 22 times he has won when trailing after 54 holes, his average score in the final round is 66.6. It’s all about doing whatever it takes to win. And when you don’t, make sure it’s because someone else beats you.

Boogaards sue NHL for son’s death By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Joanne Boogaard watched her son Derek duke it out on the ice with other NHL tough guys for six seasons as one of the most feared enforcers in the game, a 6-foot-7 brawler who was not there to skate or score, but to defend his teammates when it was called for. “He was there protecting his teammates at all costs,” she said in a statement released by her lawyers Monday, “but who was there to protect him?” Joanne Boogard and other family members have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against

the NFL, blaming the league for brain damage her son suffered playing the game and for his addiction to prescription painkillers. Derek Boogaard died of an accidental overdose of pain medication and alcohol two years ago; his body Derek was found May Boogaard 13, 2011. The 28-year-old Boogaard was posthumously diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain ailment that can be caused by repeated blows to the head, according to the 55-page

lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court late Friday. One of the attorneys who filed the lawsuit, William Gibbs, said Monday the NHL profited from Boogaard’s physical abilities as team doctors dispensed “pain pills like candy” after he suffered repeated injuries. “The NHL drafted Derek Boogaard because it wanted his massive body to fight in order to enhance ratings, earnings and exposure,” Gibbs said. “Then, once he became addicted to these narcotics, the NHL promised his family that it would take care of him. It failed.” The NHL declined to comment on the lawsuit.

BALTIMORE – Orb has settled into the place reserved for royalty at Pimlico Race Course – stall 40. The Triple Crown hopeful arrived at Pimlico on Monday afternoon, five days before the Preakness. He immediately was taken to stall 40 at the Stakes Barn, which traditionally serves as home to the Kentucky Derby winner. Some of the greatest horses in history have been kept there, including Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978). “I can’t believe how proud I am,” trainer Shug McGaughey said. Orb was shipped by van after an outstanding workout at Belmont Park. With exercise rider Jennifer Patterson aboard, Orb seemed to move effortlessly around the track on a clear, sunny day. He breezed four furlongs in 47.18 seconds and galloped out five furlongs in 59.54. “The way he worked this morning was nothing short of magnificent,” McGaughey said. “I couldn’t be any happier where we are, and I’m very excited about Saturday afternoon.” McGaughey wasn’t concerned with the fast fractions, which came nine days after running 1¼ miles in the Derby. “I think it’s a tribute to the way he came out of the Derby, and to come back and be able to have a workout like that

Assistant trainer Buzz Tenney leads Kentucky Derby winner Orb to a horse van Monday at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. Orb was traveling to Pimlico Race Course to prepare for Saturday’s Preakness in Baltimore. and do it the way he did it – I couldn’t be more thrilled,” he said in New York. “Right now, I’m on cloud nine. The way he was striding today, the way he held his leads through the lane, I thought it was spectacular.” McGaughey understands the pressure associated with trying to be the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed, although he sees no reason to be nervous. “Obviously, I’m thinking about what I’m going to do this week, but I’m not really worried about it,” he said. Not to mention, Orb hasn’t done anything that would indicate he won’t be at his best Saturday. “Everything just sort of keeps getting better, his demeanor and as much as he’s

enjoying what he’s doing,” the Hall of Fame trainer said. Orb was the second horse to arrive at Pimlico, joining Goldencents, the 17th-place finisher in the Derby. “I wanted to just get him down here, get him used to his surroundings,” McGaughey said. “I like to school him in the paddock, and I didn’t want to do too much at one time. So I thought we’d get him in here today, give him his off day tomorrow and then maybe we’ll train a little on Wednesday.” For McGaughey, being the favorite in the Preakness is preferable to coming in as the long shot. “I want to be the favorite every time I run,” he said. “Today we’re standing up here with a little bit of a target on our back. I like that.”

CDC supports immunizations Immunizations have had an enormous impact in helping to improve the health of children in the United States, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While vaccination has helped to reduce many childhood diseases, some of these diseases still exist and could reappear if vaccination coverage wanes. “Incidence of many serious childhood infections has greatly declined because of the widespread use of childhood vaccinations,” said Dr. Patricia Samuelson, a family physician based in Sacramento, Calif. “However, if vaccination rates drop, disease rates could rise again, so it’s important that we are diligent in vaccinating to help protect children.” Parents should know that it’s recommended to vaccinate their children at certain ages and with the appropriate number of doses. Maintaining the schedule of a child’s well visits helps ensure children get the vaccines they need, at the right times. Vaccines are recommended not only for children, but for all people. While parents are naturally concerned about the health and safety of their children, it is important to remember vaccination is key in helping to maintain health and wellness for people of all ages. In fact, the CDC has recommended immunization schedules for children and adolescents as well as adults.

NEW RESEARCH

Help available for smokers A study done by the Medical University of South Carolina shows transcranial magnetic stimulation may help people quit smoking. TMS already has been approved by the FDA to treat depression, and is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Researchers found a single 15-minute TMS session reduced cue-induced cravings in those who smoked. The craving reduction was temporary, so the study recommends that smokers go to repeated TMS sessions.

Is it really clean? Eight ways to remove allergens the right way

BRANDPOINT When you’re done with spring cleaning, you may assume you’ve eliminated any allergy triggers that were lurking in your home. But the truth is, if you don’t clean the right way, you might be making the problem worse. More than 40 million Americans suffer from allergy problems, and 25 million have asthma. If your cleaning routine doesn’t specifically focus on allergen control and removal, you may be only moving dust around, sending allergens and irritating cleaning chemicals into the air, which can affect allergy and asthma symptoms. To maximize your cleaning efforts and reduce allergens, consider these simple tips from the asthmaand allergy-friendly Certification Program, the healthy home initiative of the nonprofit Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America:

1. Aggravating additives Certain cleaning products can also contribute to airborne irritants, especially if they contain harsh chemicals, strong odors or volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Choose products that contain none of these irritants, but also beware of “green” labels, as some of these solutions may be made with

natural allergenic ingredients, such as lemon, coconut or tea-tree oils.

or dog dander can settle.

5. Dust mites 2. Vacuum verification Use a certified vacuum that has a high efficiency filter with tight seams and seals to prevent particles from leaking out while you vacuum. Also, choose a style that requires minimal exposure during canister emptying or bag changes.

3. Diligent dusters Use moist cloths or special dry dusters designed to trap and lock dust from hard surfaces. Use vacuum attachments to remove dust from soft and upholstered surfaces.

n Place certified allergen barrier covers on your mattresses and pillows. Wash your bedding at least once a week in 130 degree or hotter water to kill dust mites and their eggs. n If children live in your home, look for certified plush toys. Dust mites, mold and pet dander can accumulate on plush toys over time. Certified toys can be placed in the freezer for 24 hours, then rinsed in cold water to remove dead mites. Dry completely. Do this monthly.

6. Mold 4. Pet dander Pet dander is present in most U.S. homes. If possible, keep pets out of the bedroom. Your cleaning routine should include frequently washing linens in your bedroom, where cat

Mold, a common allergy trigger, can grow anywhere in your home where moisture is present. Look for cleaning products that help kill and prevent mold from returning. Also, keep household humidity below

50 percent and fix leaky pipes and cracks to reduce standing puddles of moisture, where mold can prosper.

7. Window treatments Lots of air passes through window areas, and airborne dust and allergens accumulate on all types of window treatments – which are rarely cleaned. In the family room and throughout the home, replace heavy linen drapes with wood blinds or flat screens that are easy to wipe and keep clean.

8. Furnace filters If your home uses central air conditioning or heat, replace the filter in the machine regularly, typically every 30 to 90 days. Choose an HVAC filter that has been certified to effectively capture fine airborne particles like pollen, dust and dander.

Try a trainer When we feel sick, we call the doctor, and when we have a leaky pipe, we call the plumber. So when 30 minutes of cardio training and a stop in the weight room doesn’t generate the fitness results we want, why not turn to a professional who can coach us through the rut? Personal trainers evaluate your fitness goals to design a progressive program that will get you where you want to go. This starts with a thorough evaluation of your current fitness level that can be duplicated in the months that follow.

Most people would say yes because of the many articles on this subject that have appeared in the medical and lay literature espousing this point of view. In fact, about two months ago an article from the American Heart Association discussed some of the heart attack symptoms that appear to occur more commonly in women than in men. The article stated women were more likely than men to experience shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting,

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold and back and jaw pain. Although this is perhaps generally true, the findings of a very recent study showed that there were more similarities than differences in the symptoms of a heart attack experienced by men and women. In the study, the descriptions used by men and women of their symptoms while having a heart attack were

compared. Results showed that many of the symptoms were described similarly such as the presence of pain, pressure and tightness involving the chest. However, women frequently used different words than men in describing their symptoms, such as discomfort, crushing and pressing. Both groups described pain that was present outside of the chest area, including the arms. However, it has been proposed by some that women more often than men have pain in the back and shoulders. In this study it was determined that men

also experienced these symptoms. Other symptoms present in both sexes included shortness of breath, fatigue, sweating and generalized weakness. More women then men reported the presence of a dry mouth. The researchers concluded that the previous belief that women exhibit different symptoms than men during a heart attack is not true. Both sexes experience similar symptoms, although at times they may use different terms to describe them. However, for some women the misconception still exists

that heart disease is mainly a man’s disease. This is certainly not true. Although breast cancer is a serious disease in women, more women die from heart disease than any other medical condition. So women should take very seriously any signs of a possible heart attack and seek medical help.

Ice or heat for overworked muscles? Debate continues By LENNY BERNSTEIN The Washington Post Conventional wisdom favors icing after a hard workout to reduce inflammation and begin the recovery process. Many athletes, including pros, swear by the idea. But the science behind cryotherapy might be a little shaky, and some experts recommend warmth as a more natural way to begin healing overworked muscles. I asked the opinions of two people who confront this issue every day. Robert Gillanders is a physical therapist in the District of Columbia and a spokesman for the American Physical Therapy Association. Steve Hays is the track and cross-country coach for Whitman High School in Bethesda, Md., and a 2:52:19 marathoner.

Your athlete or client has just completed his hardest workout of the week. What is your advice about recovering quickly and effectively? Gillanders: I generally recommend movement, compression and elevation. This could come through a structured cool-down after the workout that includes active stretching. It could come through wrapping a painful or swollen area with compression garments. It could come by elevating the involved areas. If I were forced to choose heat or cold, I would say warm. A warm tub, say body temperature, can provide an environment to get some hydrostatic pressure, an in-place stretch and active movement. It is not great for elevation, but you can get that later by putting legs or other heavily worked areas higher than your heart. Recovery is key to preparing the body for the next workout. This includes restoring the calories expended and rehydrating, as well as ensuring adequate sleep before the next workout. A hard workout will create inflammation because it is the body’s way of starting the healing process for the micro-injured area. Jumping in an ice bath will stop inflammation but also postpone the healing process. Hays: I normally tell my athletes to use both ice and heat – two cycles of 10 minutes

of ice, alternated with two cycles of 10 minutes of heat. Ice slows blood flow and heat has the opposite effect, increasing blood flow. The increase in blood flow helps to flush out the byproducts created by the workout, and the ice helps to reduce inflammation. During a hard workout, blood rushes to your muscles, carrying oxygen and the needed energy to complete the workout. After a hard workout, muscles are inflamed, and you have countless micro-tears in your muscles. You want to flush out all the waste that is the byproduct of this process. The cooling part of this process doesn’t need to be an ice bath; 65 to 75 degrees is fine. The cold water reduces the blood flow to the muscles and reduces the inflammation while still allowing for waste products to be flushed. Athletes experience less postworkout soreness after a cool bath.

Have you tried other methods? What led you to the practice you recommend today? Gillanders: In physical therapy, the use of ice has been long-standing. Post-injury, the standard has been RICE: rest, ice, compression and elevation. What caused me to change was that the relevant research really did not support RICE, especially rest and ice. We know movement is good. No longer do we recommend bed rest for back pain, or staying in bed after surgery. In fact, we recommend the opposite. Whether it is postwhiplash or post-knee replacement, we know appropriate movement is good. It brings nutrition to the joints, which maintains range of motion and health in the area. Ice also is discouraged mainly because it stops the body’s natural path toward healing. The body has three stages of healing: (1) inflammation (2) repair and (3) remodel. Without inflammation, we do not proceed to the other stages of healing. So the use of ice to control inflammation makes no sense. Why stop the first stage of healing? The same thing goes for taking non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Because they block

the inflammatory cycle, they can limit the body’s natural process of healing itself. Hays: I have not tried other methods. Though I have not seen much data on the effectiveness of ice baths, my own anecdotal evidence suggests they are effective. One year at running camp in Colorado, we finished a run around Turquoise Lake near Leadville (elevation 10,152 feet). It was about a 14-mile run, fairly hilly and in the middle of July. When we finished, we went down to the snow-fed lake (the water temperature must have been below 60) and soaked our legs. The next day I experienced very little soreness. Since then, I often soak after long runs, and always soak after completing a marathon. I find I am able to return to my training faster and ramp up my miles again.

Are there exceptions? What about someone who has a minor, nagging injury, for example? Gillanders: There are always exceptions. People are going to have pain, and ice makes them feel better. Ice can be good for muscles in spasm, or even as a security blanket, if someone has done it all his life. Pain is usually a sign from the body that something is amiss. You can exercise through slight pain, say zero to three on a scale of 10, as long as it is stable. Pain above those levels usually results in compensations that lead to other problems. If someone is taking care of himself, with regular stretching and appropriate strengthening, a hard workout is no big thing. In the clinic, I usually see people injured when their bodies are not prepared for the stress of training, Take care of the body and it will take care of itself. Humans did quite well for thousands of years without ice or heat, just the natural healing process, which included lots of movement. Hays: The body’s natural response to an acute injury is inflammation to protect the injured area. So to reduce the pain and swelling, I would recommend ice during the first 24 hours. After that, though, it’s time to find the cause of the injury and see a sports therapist.

Woman who doesn’t like sex can’t get rid of men who do Dear Abby: I am a woman in my late 40s, and I hate sex. I always have and always will. I’m disabled, and it has always been torture. I never got any positive benefits out of it. My problem is I get hit on constantly. I tried marriage once, more for financial reasons than anything else, but I couldn’t wait to get out. I’m single now, own a home, and the men in this town (married and single) all seem to think I’m fair game. They’re convinced I’m in need of satisfaction because I don’t date or have a steady man in my life. I have told them repeatedly it’s not going to happen, but every once in a while one pops up on my doorstep or approaches me in town, only to be told AGAIN to leave me alone. Please don’t tell me to see a therapist. The last one I went to tried to tell me I was gay. No! I’m simply happy being single and sex-free. I go where I want and don’t have to answer to anyone. Short of running these idiots off with a shotgun, how do I get it through their thick skulls I’m not available? – Sexless By Choice Dear Sexless: Although we live in a sex-obsessed society, not everyone – male or female – is a sexual creature. Your therapist should not have tried to label you as gay. You appear to be

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips asexual, which you describe as happily sex-free. The next time you are hit on by one of these men – who, by the way, probably think by doing so they are “helping” – tell him you are happy with your life just the way it is, and it isn’t necessary to offer help where none is needed. Period. Dear Abby: I really like this girl, but my parents absolutely cannot stand her. They hate that she has a tattoo and a lip ring, but her appearance has had no effect on her professional life, as she is on the road to success in her field. I am not writing to ask whether I should stay with her, because I intend to. She’s an amazing person, a hard worker, a trustworthy partner and, most of all, she’s my best friend. How can I diffuse potentially “combustible” situations with my parents, who always try to put her down no matter how often I plead my case? – Joe In Rhode Island Dear Joe: Whether your parents approve or not, tattoos seem to have become a rite of passage for many people of your generation, and so have lip rings, eyebrow rings and multiple ear piercings. If you are older

than 21 and living independent of your parents, you have the right to choose the women you become involved with. From your letter, I’d say your values are mature. In time, your parents may recognize the fine qualities you see in this young woman. If they don’t, they may wind up estranging a son. Right now, getting into a debate about her will be a losing proposition, and I’m advising you against it. Dear Abby: I’ll be visiting the United States in a couple of weeks, and I’m really excited. Now my question: How do I tip the waitress properly? I know to round the bill by 15 percent and up, but do I pay only in cash, or can I have this amount charged to my credit card? Are there any other things I have to look out for? I don’t want to offend anyone. – Jutta In Trier,

Germany Dear Jutta: If you prefer to add your tip to your credit card, it is perfectly acceptable to do so. However, before you pay, you should review the bill to be sure that a gratuity has not already been included, which can happen when a group of people dine together. I hope you will enjoy your visit to our beautiful country and that it will be the first of many.

A group of women participate in a laughter yoga session at Osaka Castle Park in Osaka, Japan.

New yoga form has seniors laughing By TATSUJI WATANABE The Yomiuri Shimbun OSAKA, Japan – Laughing is said to be good for the mind and body. Taking that advice to heart, a number of seniors are flocking to laughter yoga – an exercise that encourages people to laugh while practicing yoga. Despite its name, laughter yoga does not actually require practitioners to bend and contort their bodies into difficult poses. Developed in 1995 by an Indian doctor and his wife, the exercise only requires people to take deep breaths while doing simple yoga poses. The exercise trend has spread to more than 70 countries around the world, including the United States, China and Germany. According to Laughter Yoga Japan, an incorporated nonprofit organization, the exercise can help refresh the mind and body, ease stress and improve the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Bright and early on a spring day, about 30 members of a laughter yoga group gathered in Osaka Castle Park in Chuo Ward, Osaka. “Imagine you’re an airplane flying to Hawaii,” Rikako Ueda, the group’s organizer, told participants. The group then stretched their arms wide open to

mimic airplane wings before bursting out into laughter while running around. After a while, the group began clapping before saying in unison, “Eeyan, eeyan . . .” or “It’s good” in the local dialect. “If you can’t laugh properly, just let out a loud ‘hahaha,’” said Ueda, a 58-year-old certified laughter yoga teacher. The exercise continued as members were prompted to imagine themselves picking up gold bars, or peeling huge bananas. They also mimicked swimming strokes, such as freestyle and the dog paddle. The group continued the laughing exercises for about an hour. Said Ueda: “It’s important that at first, you just let out your voice cheerfully. If you practice every day, you’ll be able to laugh very naturally.” Ueda’s “Warai Yoga Kurabu” (Laughter yoga club) group holds meetings at the park once a month, in addition to indoor practices. According to scientists, people laugh less as they grow older. In a survey of 2,471 people conducted by Tetsuya Ohira, a professor at Fukushima Medical University, more than 60 percent of female respondents under 50 said

they laughed almost every day, compared to just 43 percent for those aged 70 or older. For men, the figure stood at 36 percent for those 70 or older, significantly lower than the 58 percent recorded for those under 40. “The less people laugh, the more likely they are to develop memory loss or other symptoms,” Ohira said. Hiroshi Inoue, professor emeritus at Kansai University, also said, “Laughing is an excellent ability that humans have.” “As people get older, they tend to laugh less and don’t talk to others as much. But that would be a regretful waste of such an excellent ability,” said Inoue, who also serves as an adviser to the Japan Society for Laughter and Humor Studies. The organization, based in Osaka, conducts comprehensive studies on laughter and humor in psychology, medicine and philosophy. Regarding laughter yoga, Inoue said: “Practitioners can be any age. If people become able to really laugh while exercising together, that phenomenon is called ‘laughter transmissibility.’ I advise practitioners to make suggestions on what type of poses would let them have even more fun.”

Good posture is not just for looks Dear Dr. K: I have mild back pain. I sit at a desk all day and tend to slouch. My mother says sitting up straight may help. Is she right? Dear Reader: I hope it’s true. Otherwise, my mother (like yours) was wrong. And I think it is true. Most of us get back pain at some point in our lives. It’s usually not caused by an accident. Rather, it develops because, in going about our regular activities, we strain muscles and ligaments in the back that support our spines. This happens during the course of day-to-day life. Repetitive activities at work or home, such as sitting at a computer or lifting and carrying, may produce tension and muscle tightness that result in backache. Fortunately, there’s a lot we can do to prevent back pain. Most of all, it’s important to be physically fit and to maintain a healthy weight. Minding your posture helps, too. Posture is the way you hold your body while standing, sitting or performing tasks such as lifting or bending. If your posture is good,

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff the bones of your spine align correctly. If your posture is bad and the spinal bones are not in proper alignment, there is extra stress on the muscles and ligaments. They try to correct for the bad posture and become injured from the strain. This is how poor posture can both cause back pain and make it worse. (I’ve put an illustration showing good posture while sitting and standing on my website.) Try the following exercises. They can help improve your posture and head off back pain: • Imagery. Think of a straight line passing through your body from ceiling to floor. Your ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles should be even and line up vertically as you stand. Now imagine a strong cord attached to your breastbone is pulling your chest and rib cage upward, making you taller. • Shoulder blade squeeze.

Sit up straight in a chair with your hands resting on your thighs. Keep your shoulders down and your chin level. Slowly draw your shoulders back and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a count of five; relax. Repeat three times. • Upper-body stretch. Stand facing a corner with your arms raised, hands flat against the walls, elbows at shoulder height, with your right foot forward. Bend your right knee, but keep the left knee straight. Keep your back straight and your chest and head up. You should feel a nice stretch across your chest. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds. Relax. Now and then, you’ll meet someone who has perfect posture and hasn’t had to work on it. It’s just comes naturally. Most of us, however, tend to slouch. Our mothers really were right: Good posture not only makes us look better, it also protects us against back pain.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

This week we are looking at the Stayman convention, whose primary job is to try to ind a 4-4 majorsuit it after opener immediately shows a balanced hand. When the opening bid is one no-trump and responder bids two clubs, it asks opener to show a fourcard major. If opener has two of them, he rebids two hearts. Then, what does the responder do when he has four spades and fewer than four hearts? If he has game-invitational strength, it depends upon system. If one notrump - two no-trump is natural, showing about nine points and inviting game, then responder continues with two no-trump. Since he used Stayman, he must have a four-card major, and since he has not raised hearts, he must hold four spades. But if one no-trump - two no-trump is not natural, perhaps a transfer to diamonds, responder rebids two spades. Opener is expected to place the inal contract. Here, with an absolute maximum, he signs off in three no-trump. After West leads the diamond king, what should

South do? Declarer has six top tricks and at least three more can come from the clubs. However, if East has the club king, there is a risk the opponents will collect four diamond tricks to defeat you. The answer? Duck the irst trick. If West leads another diamond, it gives you two diamond tricks. If West shifts, you win in hand and run the club 10 (or queen). Ducking with the A-J-x is called the Bath Coup because this play was irst recognized in that English city when whist was popular.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF PROPOSED ACTION LOCATED WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN May 14, 2013 McHenry County Dept. of Planning and Development Attn: Faith Taylor 2200 N. Seminary Woodstock, Illinois, 60098 (815) 334-4560 Fax # (815) 334-4608, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: A notice appeared in this newspaper on April 24, 2013, inviting participation in the floodplain management decision-making process. Specifically, we invited comments regarding a program being proposed by McHenry County. Program: Community Development Block Grant program year 2013 project for Village of Union Drinking Water Compliance-Forcemain Construction and Forcemain Pump Installation for $459,360.00. Purpose and Location: This notice informs the public that McHenry County is proposing to use program funds within the 100-year Floodplain. The project involves directional drilling of waste water forcemain piping and forcemain ejection pumps to direct contaminants to the wastewater lagoons located from then ion treatment facility on Jefferson Street, south along Main Street to the wastewater lagoons crossing under the Railroad Creek located in a flood zone AE. McHenry County completed an evaluation concerning potential impacts on the floodplain and possible alternative actions. The conclusion was that there is no practicable alternative to the possibility of the potential project being located within the Flood Zone AE. The alternatives considered included: 1) relocation of the wastewater lagoons to another property that does not cross the Railroad Creek; 2) no action. These alternatives were rejected for the following reasons: 1) the Village received donated land for the wastewater lagoons in lieu of subdivision impact fee, otherwise the Village did not own any other land suitable for the lagoons; 2) The location of the ion treatment facility is north of the lagoons and the creek runs west to east causing no alternative to avoiding the creek; 3) most importantly, the current water conditions do not meet Illinois Environmental Protection Agency safe water compliance agreement standards thus health and safety concerns continue if the project does not go forward to completion. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) respecting the subject program has been made by McHenry County Planning and Development which documents floodplain information and contains a full description of the proposed actions. The ERR is on file at the address listed above and is available for public examination and copying upon request during business hours listed above. Final approval of the Village of Union Drinking Water ProjectForcemain Construction and Forcemain Pump Installation will not be made until/unless interested groups, individuals or agencies have had an opportunity to comments. Comments will be accepted by Faith Taylor at the address listed above until May 21, 2013. Information regarding the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations concerning floodplain management may be obtained by contacting: Ray Willis, Director, Office of Community Planning and Development, Chicago Regional Office, US Department of Housing and Urban Development, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, phone 312-913-8728, fax 312-3535417. (Published in the Northwest Herald May 14, 2013 #A907)

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds May 14, 2013 McHenry County Dept. of Planning and Development 2200 N. 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 30, 2013, McHenry County will submit a request to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Chicago Regional Office for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, (PL 93383), as amended, to undertake projects known as: Family Health Partnership, for the purposes of Construction of a Health Clinic, in the amount of $150,000; Turning Point, for the purposes of Facility Rehabilitation, in the amount of $72,000.00; and Village of McCullom Lake, for the purposes of Stormwater Drainage, in the amount of $235,200.00 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 29, 2013, 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. Potential objectors should contact HUD Chicago Regional Office (tel 312913-8705 or via fax 312-9138293) to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
