Downtown delights Groups plan summer events to connect communities

Defendant in fatal accident will request reduced bond

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com

To Mim Evans, the downtown district is one of a community’s most important parts.

“The downtown is the image of a community,” Evans, the executive director of Genoa Main Street, said. “It’s what people see when they come into town. It’s their first impression of what the community is like.”

Evans is the only paid staffer of Genoa Main Street, a nonprofit organization that plans free community events in downtown Genoa.

As the summer season starts, the event-planning agencies of DeKalb, Sycamore and Genoa are beginning programs in their respective downtowns.

But downtown events such as farmer’s markets and bar crawls require some measure of support from their respective cities. Re:New DeKalb, Discover Sycamore and Genoa Main Street are private organizations, but the city governments are involved in some way.

The city of DeKalb, for instance, allocated $45,000 in tax increment financing to Re:New DeKalb in July 2012. Lindsey Engelsman, marketing and special events coordinator for Re:New DeKalb, said her position at the organization is funded by both private and public sources.

The events Re:New DeKalb holds are funded by private sources, Engelsman said.

Some of the events are funded through sponsorships, or by a coalition of downtown businesses.

Re:New DeKalb is undergoing a shift in duties, making it ineligible for TIF. The organization is hoping to give its downtown event planning – and Engelsman – to the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

When his friend found him unconscious in her car April 2, she thought Benjamin Black has just shot heroin, court records show.

At the time, Black was on electronic home monitoring in connection with a DeKalb County case after being charged with stealing more than $4,000 of coiled copper and brass March 11 in Cortland. He had told a sheriff’s deputy his parents would take him April 2 to St. Charles to visit his attorney.

Court records lay out what authorities allege happened instead: Black ended up in a Walgreen’s parking lot in Villa Park with a friend. She ran inside to buy hypodermic needles, found him unconscious in the car, and tossed the needles in the trash. Black tested positive for opiates, but he denied doing heroin. He told authorities he had drunk codeine cough syrup and taken an unmarked painkiller his friend gave him.

This incident happened in the 11 weeks police were investigating the Feb. 27 crash that killed 11-year-old Matthew Ranken of Sycamore and cracked the skull of Teale Noble, 18, of Sycamore.

Black was driving an SUV that smashed into the back of the car carrying the two, causing a crash that involved two other vehicles, police said. Authorities didn’t charge Black with three counts of aggravated driving under the influence until May 7, largely because a state lab spent weeks determining Black had heroin metabolites in his system at the time of the crash, authorities said.

A DeKalb County deputy asked a judge to kick Black out of the electronic home monitoring program after April 2, but on April 11, a DeKalb County judge ordered he remain in the special program while getting drug and alcohol treatment and submitting to drug tests.

Black was in Kane County Jail on Friday, unable to post 10 percent of his $250,000 bond in connection with the DUI charges. His attorney, D.J. Tegeler, plans to ask a judge to reduce his bail, possibly to one that would not require posting money, which Kane County prosecutors plan to fight at a scheduled June 26 hearing.

Ill. Senate approves bill; Medical marijuana use in Quinn’s hands

By REGINA GARCIA CANO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Medical marijuana use in Illinois is now in Gov. Pat Quinn’s hands after the state Senate approved legislation.

The proposal has been touted as the strictest in the nation among states that have legalized medical marijuana.

It authorizes physicians to prescribe marijuana to patients with whom they have an existing relationship and who has at least one of more than 30 medical conditions listed on the measure.

Lawmakers voted 35-21 to send the measure to the Democratic governor. Quinn has declined to say whether he will support the bill, saying

he’s “open-minded” on the issue. Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, a former prosecutor, said she is in favor after meeting with patients, including veterans.

DeKalb County’s state senators split their vote on the medical marijuana bill. Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, voted yes while Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, voted no.

Syverson noted the safe-

guards in the bill, stating that Illinois will not become Colorado or California in terms of how easily someone can get a prescription for medical marijuana. He added that he felt sympathy for the people who were suffering from terminal illnesses or chronic disabilities.

“As a father and a husband, if my loved one was in pain

and nauseous from treatment ... I’d do whatever I could to help,” Syverson said. “From that standpoint, I think that’s worth a try.”

Last month, DeKalb County’s state representatives also split their vote on the same bill. Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, voted yes, while Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, voted no.

When no one can tell you what to do Congratulations to all of DeKalb County’s new high school graduates.

For me, graduating from high school meant freedom. Adults couldn’t just tell me what to do anymore – at least, not without paying for the privilege.

What I came to find out was, that freedom also meant that adults couldn’t tell me what to do any more, even when I wished that they would.

That’s the dirty little secret about adulthood – nobody’s really certain they’re doing it right. If you meet someone who thinks they are, then they almost certainly are not. Either that, or you’ve just met the Pope or something.

Most every parent wonders at some point why other parents they know seem to handle their kids so much better.

It’s common for people with careers to wonder if they couldn’t have done something bigger, better or just different. Or they look back on a successful career and question whether they spent too much time working and missed out on other important things – like their children growing up.

There’s no marriage without its ups and downs, no family that doesn’t have times of stress, no fisherman who’s never been skunked.

Maybe now you’re planning to go to college, or you want to learn a trade, or you’re going to enlist in the armed forces.

If you really believe it’s the right thing for you, then go for it. Do it all the way; see what happens. There’s no other person who can tell you what to do.

My Dad kind of helped me figure this out. I love Dad. He and Mom raised my brother, sister and me together. We were as normal a family as any other, I suppose.

The night before I got married, I asked Dad if he had any advice. He’d been married almost 30 years at the time, so I thought surely he must be able to tell me something.

“I don’t know,” he said. “Punt.”

The man doesn’t write greeting cards for a living.

I was trying to decide whether to sell my house at a loss and move my family to Sycamore to become editor of the Daily Chronicle. What do you think, Dad? “You’ve got to do what you think you’ve got to do,” he said.

I found out my wife and I were going to have a baby. Any advice, Dad? “I don’t know what to tell you,” he said. “You just have to roll with the

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson punches.”

Not that raising children is literally like being punched – at least, not all the time – but you get the drift. Things happen, and it’s up to you to figure out how to deal with them.

We all very much want you new grads to figure it out, though. The world needs help. It depends on the ideas and energy of young people as much as anything. We count on young people to bring about positive changes in society with their energy, innovation, and demands for social justice.

Your hometown schools have done all they can for you. Now you have your shot, and for better or worse, no one else can tell you how to take it.

So good luck, grads. Do it your way, and remember to roll with the punches.

Hands-on learning: This week I had the opportunity to hear several high school students talk about their experiences in classes they took through the Kishwaukee Education Consortium.

KEC partners with five area school districts – DeKalb, Sycamore, Genoa-Kingston, Hiawatha, and Rochelle Township – to offer classes to their students. They also work with Kishwaukee College to align curriculum, and more and more students are going on to the college after graduation from high school.

The classes are great for students looking to gain real-world experience in fields that could become their future careers. The students can earn college and high school credit simultaneously at no extra cost to their families, KEC Executive Director Tom Crouch said.

At the partner lunch Thursday, several students had a chance to talk about their experiences in two of those classes.

First, students from instructor Jade Williams’ early childhood class talked about working with seven local preschoolers and later helping out as interns at elementary schools in their home districts.

Most, like Jazzmin Hopkins, a senior at Sycamore High School, said their work in the program was critical for helping them along their path toward careers in education.

“It has given me preparation for being a teacher,” Hopkins said.

Marisol Corral, a senior at DeKalb High School, first addressed the gather-

ing in Spanish before continuing on en Inglés. Corral had worked as a teacher’s assistant at Jefferson Elementary.

“I want to dedicate my life to teaching children that don’t know English,” Corral said.

Samantha Scanlan was the first student from Hiawatha High School to be part of the early childhood program, and was able to help at Hiawatha Elementary in first- and third-grade classes. She said she really enjoyed the time she spent in the program.

“Unlike most students in high school, I really look forward to Mondays,” she said.

The second group was Bruce Griffith’s senior business academy students. The students were divided into three teams – from Rochelle, DeKalb and Sycamore – and spent the year meeting and networking with, as Griffith put it, the “movers and shakers and fingerprint makers” in their communities.

The more than 30 students in the program planned to study many different subjects at college next year, not all of them strictly business-related. But all of them spoke highly of the benefits of learning about business in the community.

“I Iearned a lot and kind of had my career path affirmed for me,” said Christin Bothe, a senior from DeKalb High who eloquently opened her group’s presentation “... This was just a cool experience for us.”

Jonathan Cordes from Sycamore High agreed.

“A lot of the life lessons they set out in the class have really come through and prepared us for the next step,” Cordes said.

Many representatives of local businesses and government were also there to receive certificates of recognition for helping with the program by sharing their expertise.

The programs available at KEC not only help high school students get hands-on experience, but also help them plug in to local opportunities, Crouch said.

“It’s important for our students to understand there are job opportunities here, without going elsewhere,” he said.

Yes, please stick around or come back if you can, folks. We need your help.

The Associated Press FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Two commuter trains serving New York City collided in Connecticut during Friday’s evening rush hour, sending 60 people to the hospital, including five with critical injuries, Gov. Dannel Malloy said.

About 250 people were on board the Metro-North trains when one heading east from New York City’s Grand Central Station to New Haven derailed about 6:10 p.m. just outside Bridgeport, MTA and Bridgeport officials said.

The train was hit by a train heading west from New Haven to Grand Central on an adjacent track, MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. Some cars on the second train also derailed as a result of the collision.

Investigators did not know what caused the first train to derailment, he said.

“We’re most concerned about the injured and ultimately reopening the system,” Malloy said from the scene about three hours after the crash. He said there was no reason to believe it was anything other than an accident.

Malloy said that most people were not seriously hurt. Among those critically injured, he said, one’s injuries were “very critical.”

8NATION BRIEF The Connecticut Post

Emergency workers arrive at the scene of a train collision Friday in Fairfield, Conn. A New York-area commuter railroad says two trains have collided in Connecticut. The Metro-North Railroad said the accident involved a New York-bound train leaving New Haven, Conn. It derailed and hit a westbound train near Fairfield. Some cars on the second train also derailed. ment.” Photos showed a train car askew on the rails, with its end smashed up and brushing against another train. Amtrak suspended service indefinitely between New York and Boston.

Malloy said there was extensive damage to the train cars and the track, and it could take until Monday for normal service to be restored. He said the accident will have a “big impact on the Northeast Corridor.”

The area where the accident happened was already down to two tracks because of repair work, Malloy said.

Crews have been working for a long time on the electric lines above the tracks, the power source for the trains. He said Connecticut has an old system and no other

alternate tracks.

By late evening, Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett said everybody who needed treatment had been attended to, and authorities were beginning to turn their attention to investigating the cause.

“Everybody seemed pretty calm,” he said. “Everybody was thankful they didn’t get seriously hurt. They were anxious to get home to their families.”

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates the Metro-North Railroad, the second-largest commuter railroad in the nation. The Metro-North main lines – the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven – run northward from New York City’s Grand Central Terminal into suburban New York and Connecticut.

O.J.’s ex-lawyer contradicts his testimony on guns LAS VEGAS – O.J. Simpson’s former lawyer defended himself point-by-point Friday against allegations he botched the former football star’s armed-robbery trial, after giving damaging testimony that Simpson actually knew his buddies had guns when they went to a hotel room together to reclaim some sports memorabilia.

Miami-based attorney Yale Galanter quickly found himself under withering cross-examination from a Simpson lawyer intent on proving that Galanter’s word couldn’t be trusted – that he knew ahead of time of Simpson’s plan and spent more effort covering up his involvement than representing Simpson.

A blossoming friendship Sycamore police: Warrant Barb City Manor residents bond through gardening

issued in growing operation The house itself is in the forclosure process. Workers hired by a bank to change the locks stumbled upon the growing operation Tuesday, and police spent about six hours at the house off Mount Hunger Road, removing the plants and the equipment allegedly used to grow them, police said.

Police were uncertain why Seldal would grow an illegal substance there under those circumstances.

“That has us a little befuddled,” Swartzendruber said.

“But we haven’t had a chance to talk to him.”

Barb City Manor residents Marcia Forest (left) and Wes Dvorak discuss their garden at Barb City Manor on Friday morning in DeKalb. Forest and Dvorak have become friends while planting tomatoes and radishes. handicapped-accessible garden. Forest isn’t far behind him with a watering can to keep the plants moist.

“It takes work,” she said.

“And that’s what we try to do.”

Onlookers and friends like Laura Mabel said they are impressed with how much the pair is able to do given their age and limited abilities.

“One is incapacitated and one is almost 90,” Mabel said.

“And here they are doing their hobby.”

But Forest said tending to this garden is no different than any of the others she’s had in the past.

“I’ve had a garden all my

life,” she said.

Although she’s hauling water and digging on her hands and knees, Forest said her body rarely gets sore from the process.

With Dvorak’s gardening expertise and Forest’s passion for planting, the pair expects to reap a nice, small harvest later this season. The ripe vegetables go straight to Barb City’s kitchen where the other residents can’t wait to enjoy them.

“Them seniors gob ’em right up,” joked Dvorak.

Forest said she doesn’t blame them.

“There’s nothing like fresh tomatoes,” Forest said. “I can’t wait myself.”

SYCAMORE – Police are looking for a 45-year-old man accused of growing 222 marijuana plants in the basement of a Sycamore home.

A warrant charging Richard A. Seldal, of 939 Wells Drive, Sycamore, with unlawful manufacture of marijuana plants was issued Thursday afternoon, Sycamore police detective Sgt. Rod Swartzendruber said Friday. The charge is typically punishable by as many as 15 years in prison; his bond was set at $150,000.

Proceeds will be donated to Adventure Works of DeKalb County.

DeKALB – When Marcia Forest caught Wes Dvorak looking out the window of Barb City Manor one snowy day this winter, the new resident didn’t know she was about to make a friend.

Forest, 89, approached the wheelchair-bound Dvorak, 91, and realized he was keeping an eye on the garden he tends on the south side of the retirement community’s building. Forest, an avid gardener for 68 years, asked Dvorak if he would like some help when the warmer months came, and the two came to an agreement.

The duo works in the garden nearly every day while Forest digs and Dvorak plants.

The two grow about 25 plants in the garden, including radishes, sweet banana peppers and a variety of tomatoes.

Dvorak can be very particular about the garden, which he created after he moved to the retirement community in 2005.

“One thing I want to emphasize,” he said. “I don’t raise no weeds.”

Dvorak doesn’t let his wheelchair stop him from going out every morning to pull any incoming weeds in the

Students help break language barriers

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN

“So much is shared [between Spanish and English]. It’s a cool thing more people need to become aware of.”

shickman@shawmedia.com CORTLAND – When Lissette Jacobson wears her blue scarf, her bilingual first-grade students know they should be conversing in English.

But when she takes off the scarf and flips over the “Hora de Español,” sign, Spanish is the only language heard throughout the classroom at Cortland Elementary School.

About 44 DeKalb High School Spanish students visited Jacobson’s class and several other of the school’s nine bilingual classes Friday to speak the language with the younger students during their Spanish hour.

“We’re trying to not talk in English because we’re supposed to be talking in Spanish,” said Magdalena Hernandez, a second-grader in one of the bilingual classes.

The students read books and played games with each other while completely conversing in Spanish.

“We’re teaching them what to learn,” said Emma Cohen, one of Hernandez’s classmates.

Of the 44 high schools students, about a quarter of them were native Spanish speakers, said Amanda McCabe, a Spanish teacher at DeKalb High School. McCabe has been coordinating the annual

Lissette Jacobson Cortland Elementary School teacher

visits for about six years.

The high schoolers spent about an hour with the younger students, with whom they have been exchanging letters as pen pals.

“It kind of brings the real Spanish-speaking world to our students,” McCabe said.

Jacobson said she was thrilled her students could see the Spanish language is alive beyond their classroom.

“For them, to see big high school students with an interest in Spanish, that is a big deal,” she said.

Although her students

have been studying Spanish for at least four years, McCabe said having a conversation with a native speaker still can be a challenge.

“The high school students were actually very nervous that their Spanish wouldn’t be good enough,” she said.

Jacobson said teaching her bilingual students to speak Spanish and English correctly is more than just identifying words, but rather applying skills and concepts to bridge the gap between the two languages.

“So much is shared [be-

tween Spanish and English],” she said. “It’s a cool thing more people need to become aware of.”

The transition between Spanish and English is generally easy for the native-speaking elementary students, including Hernandez, who speaks both languages at home with her family.

“I speak English to my sisters, and Spanish with my mom and dad,” she said.

Jacobson said some of her native-speaking students eventually lose their Spanish fluency, which is why she feels it is essential to encourage them to keep speaking the language.

She hopes the community someday will recognize the importance of being bilingual, especially since the demographics of the area and the country continue to change.

“We have to have an educated society,” she said. “And this is the best way.”

Billington’s wife, Marcy, said many teachers and students approached her to put on the event because they wanted the community to have a formal opportunity to wish him well.

Billington has worked in

education for 35 years since receiving his master’s degree from Western Illinois University. He was a teacher and football coach in Monmouth County before moving to the Genoa-Kingston community 22 years ago.

Billington has impacted countless students, including his own

son, who has graduated from college and currently is student teaching, Marcy said.

Billington’s last day as principal is June 30. Genoa-Kingston Middle School principal Brett McPherson will assume the role of high school principal July 1.

Hagel orders review of Treasury officials told of IRS probe in June sex-abuse prevention

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Friday ordered the military to recertify all 25,000 people involved in programs designed to prevent and respond to sexual assault, an acknowledgement that assaults have escalated beyond the Pentagon’s control.

He said this step, which also applies to the military’s approximately 19,000 recruiters and must be completed by Chuck Hagel July 1, is one among many that will be taken to fix the problem of sexual abuse and sexual harassment within every branch of the military.

At a news conference with Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hagel said he believes alcohol use is “a very big factor” in many sexual assault and sexual harassment cases, but there are many pieces to the problem.

He and Dempsey spoke one

day after all of the military’s leadership were summoned to the White House to discuss the sexual assault problem with President Barack Obama, who has expressed impatience with the Pentagon’s failure to solve it.

At his Pentagon news conference, Hagel said it has become clear to him since taking office in February that holding people accountable for their actions is important, but simply firing people is not a solution. He said he gets a lot of advice on that.

He said some ask him, “Well, why don’t you just fire some people?” He said his answer is, “Well, yeah, we could do that.

And, you know, who are you going to fire?”

Hagel signed a one-page memorandum addressed to the uniformed chiefs and civilian heads of each of the military services requiring that the credentials and qualifications of all recruiters, sexual assault response coordinators and sexual assault victim advocates be reviewed to ensure that they meet current standards. They also will be given refresher training on professional ethics and the impact of violations.

8BRIEFS Dark clouds hang over air shows after budget cuts

Birth of anteater has Conn. zoo staff puzzled

BRUNSWICK, Maine – Federal budget cuts that eliminated military flying acts triggered the cancellation of dozens of air shows, meaning lost income for performers, air show announcers, concessionaires, vendors and others who depend on air shows and the millions of spectators.

The cancellations also mean disappointed fans, fewer events that celebrate aviation and inspire youngsters and lost military recruiting opportunities.

Air shows pump about $1.5 billion into the economy and draw nearly three times more spectators than NASCAR events, according to the International Council of Air Shows.

GREENWICH, Conn. – An anteater has given birth at a Connecticut conservation center, prompting officials there to wonder how the mother conceived.

Officials at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center tell the Greenwich Time they had removed the only male anteater from the enclosure in August, long before the six-month gestation period for baby Archie would have begun.

Marcella Leone, founder and director of the conservation center, suspects this might be a rare case of delayed implantation, when fertilized eggs remain dormant in the uterus.

– Wire reports

WASHINGTON – Senior Treasury officials were made aware in June 2012 that investigators were looking into complaints from tea party groups that they were being harassed by the Internal Revenue Service, a Treasury inspector general said Friday, disclosing that Obama administration officials knew there was a probe during the heat of the presidential campaign.

J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, testified alongside ousted IRS head Steven Miller, who did little to subdue Republican outrage during hours of intense congressional questioning. Both defiant and apologetic, Miller acknowledged agency mistakes in targeting tea party groups for special scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status, but he insisted that agents broke no laws and that there was no effort to cover up their actions.

Miller only stoked the criticism of many Republicans, who are assailing the administration on a sudden spate of other controversies, as well, even as some Democrats tried

Ousted IRS chief Steve Miller (right) and J.

“I don’t know that I got any answers from you today,” Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., told Miller.

“I am more concerned today than I was before.”

At one point in the day’s hearing, Treasury IG George said he had told the department’s general counsel about his investigation on June 4, 2012, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin “shortly

thereafter.” But, George cautioned, those discussions were “not to inform them of the results of the audit. It was to inform them of the fact that we were conducting the audit.”

After the hearing, inspector general spokeswoman Karen Kraushaar said George “informed Department of Treasury officials that we were looking into the IRS’ handling of applications for tax-exempt status, partly due to allega-

tions raised by conservative organizations.”

Kraushaar said the disclosure was part of a routine briefing about the office’s activities.

The Treasury Department issued a statement Friday saying officials first became aware of the actual results of the investigation in March of this year, when they were provided a draft of George’s report, a standard practice.

George’s disclosure came before the House Ways and Means Committee in the first of several congressional hearings on the matter. He was joined by Miller, who spoke publicly about the controversy for the first time.

Miller was contrite as he apologized for the actions of agents who singled out conservative political groups for additional, often burdensome scrutiny.

“First and foremost, as acting commissioner, I want to apologize on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service for the mistakes that we made and the poor service we provided,” he told the committee. “The affected organizations and the American public deserve better.”

County prosecutors plan to fight reduced bail request on June 26 Continued from page A1 The bail request baffles Ranken’s father, Larry, who pointed to Black’s criminal history. DuPage County court records show Black was charged with possession of a controlled substance in 2002, underage drinking in 2005, and driving under the influence of drugs in 2004.

“I was just hoping when it came back positive for heroin and when they found out his past record ... we just Matthew want to get it Ranken over with and see justice pervail,” Larry Ranken said. “I’m afraid it’s not going to. It just makes it nauseous to think that my little boy, who impacted every single person he met, I’m not going to be able to hold him again, and there’s a chance [Black] could walk away.”

Tegeler acknowledges the tragedy inherent in the crash’s injuries and the life cut short, but he’s quick to point out that prosecutors have not yet proven the charges against his client beyond a reasonable doubt. He points out that one can legally have opiates in their system in certain circumstances, and argues the $250,000 bail is unfairly high.

“I was just hoping when it came back positive for heroin and when they found out his past record ... we just want to get it over with and see justice pervail.”

Larry Ranken, Father of Matthew Ranken, who died in a vehicle accident “The amount of the bond set is a hardship on the defendant and violates the defendant’s right to a presumption of innocence … [and] impairs the ability of the defendant to assemble witnesses for his defense, which is fundamental to his right to a fair trial,” Tegeler said in the court documents.

Tegeler has not had a chance to review the laboratory tests that purportedly showed his client had heroin in his system at the time of the crash. That typically means a person had recently consumed heroin, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they were feeling the affects of the drug at that particular time.

Tegeler emphasized Black’s SUV slid on ice before smashing into the car carrying Ranken and Noble. Black got out of his Ford Expedition and tried to help others involved with the crash and then cooperated with police, Tegeler said.

“From what I’ve seen in police reports, they did not think he was impaired [the night of the crash,]” Tegeler said.

As far as the months that

lapsed between the crash and the felony charges, Kane County Sheriff Lt. Pat Gengler pointed to the lab that handled Black’s test. If Black had been injured enough to require medical treatment, a hospital would have processed those types of tests in treating him and police could have quickly accessed the results, Gengler said.

Since he wasn’t injured, the samples were sent to an Illinois State Police crime lab, which has a slower turnaround time. Kane County prosecutors filed felony charges within a week of receiving Black’s test results, Gengler said.

The process can feel slow, especially for those who experienced the loss of a child, but police officers need to keep their emotions in check and build a solid case, Gengler said. That sometimes can take weeks.

“We also don’t want to leave the door open that when all this is said and done, that he walks out and he gets off on some technicality that we missed and we could have avoided by putting a little extra time into it before you charged,” Gengler said.

Events ‘add one more layer to what makes great community’ Continued from page A1 The two organizations presented a plan to fund Engelsman’s position to the tune of $45,000 a year from the city’s economic development fund.

The City Council chopped that number down to $25,000; the final amount will be approved with the rest of the city’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Mark Smirz, the president of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, previously said they will not be able to fund the position fully.

The format the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce seeks is very similar to what the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce has. There, Lauren Diehl runs the events Discover Sycamore hosts as the events and marketing director.

Diehl said the chamber receives $50,000 a year from the city of Sycamore, with 40 percent of that amount going to the Discover Sycamore activ-

ities.

“As a whole, it’s important to have these community events because it adds one more layer on what makes a great community,” Diehl said.

As for Genoa Main Street, it is entirely separate from the local chamber of commerce, and does not receive funding from the city, Evans said.

She said that the group receives “in-kind” support from the city in the form of police and public works assistance.

Genoa Main Street’s website lists the city of Genoa as having contributed between $1,500 and $2,500 in in-kind services for 2013.

“Everything else is volunteer,” Evans said. “The volunteers are the key to why things get done.”

Each of the agencies are

planning their own farmers markets. In Genoa, they’re on the fourth Saturday of every month, in Sycamore, the farmers markets are on Sundays, starting June 2 until Sept. 29.

In DeKalb, the farmer’s markets are on Thursdays, and those will begin June 6 and will end Sept. 26.

Apart from the farmers markets, each of the agencies has its own special set of events planned for the summer. Evans said Genoa Main Street has unique events planned for each farmers market.

Canada abuzz over a crack video of mayor

By ROB GILLIES The Associated Press TORONTO – A video purportedly of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack has caused an uproar in Canada. Ford on Friday called the allegations “ridiculous.”

The video has not been released publicly, and there is no way to verify whether it is authentic. Reports by gossip website Gawker and the Toronto Star said it was taken by a man who claimed he had sold crack to Ford. The Associated Press hasn’t seen the video.

The conservative mayor of Canada’s largest city refused to take questions Friday. In brief comments outside his office, he said it was “another story with respect to the Toronto Star going after me. And that’s all I’ve got to say for now.”

A lawyer for the colorful, often unscripted Ford didn’t respond to messages seeking comment. Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash said investigators were “monitoring the situation closely.”

The Star reported that two reporters watched a video that appears to show Ford, sitting in a chair, inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe.

The Star said it did not obtain the video or pay to watch it.

The Star also reported that Ford made an anti-gay slur against the leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau.

Ford later appeared Friday at a previously scheduled ceremony marking International Day Against Homophobia.

Ford has been embroiled in controversies about his behavior since being elected in 2010, but these are the most serious allegations he’s faced yet. The Toronto Star reported earlier this year that he was asked to leave a gala fundraiser for wounded Canadian soldiers because he appeared intoxicated.

Rights groups: Syria holds thousands incommunicado More than two years into the conflict, such accounts have become chillingly familiar to Syrians. Intelligence agents have been seizing people from homes, offices and checkpoints, and human rights activists say the targets often are peaceful regime opponents, including defense lawyers, doctors and aid workers.

Syrian human rights monitors say the number of those disappeared without a trace is now in the thousands. By comparison, the official figure of those who disappeared in Argentina’s “dirty war” of the 1970s and 1980s is about 13,000, though rights activists say the actual figure is more than

By KARIN LAUB The Associated Press BEIRUT – About 30 security agents showed up just after midnight, breaking down the door to an apartment in the town of Daraya near the Syrian capital of Damascus. They grabbed a 24-year-old university student and drove off.

That was a year ago. The young man, who had been providing aid to Syrians displaced by the country’s civil war, was never heard from again.

His family was told by former prisoners that he ended up in one of the torture dungeons of President Bashar Assad’s regime. They don’t know if he’s dead or alive.

twice that.

In such “enforced disappearances,” governments refuse to acknowledge detentions or provide information about those taken. The point traditionally is to get rid of opponents and scare the rest of the population into submission – a rationale laid out in Adolf Hitler’s “Nacht und Nebel (Night and Fog)” decree of 1941.

In Syria, the goal is to “terrorize the society and dry up the revolution,” said Anwar al-Bounni, a veteran defense lawyer and human rights campaigner in Damascus. “The regime focuses on arresting peaceful activists to turn it purely into an armed conflict.”

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give parents choice 8SKETCH VIEW

8OUR VIEW: THUMBS UP/THUMBS DOWN

Addicts generously share stories

on publicity

To the Editor: When did it become so important for schools to be able to publish student accomplishments that include names and photos?

What do they gain?

Sure, it’s fun for the child and the parents sometimes, but not every parent wants this and they should have the option to decline.

Parents have various reasons for wanting to protect a child’s privacy.

Why then is Hiawatha using manipulative tactics to get parents to sign off on the “Authorization for Publication” clause of the yearly registration process?

Hiawatha has recently decided to equate a photo in a public newspaper with a photo in a student yearbook.

In other words, if parents don’t allow the school to have freedom of publication, their children’s photos will be omitted from the yearbook. Really Hiawatha?

Exactly what is the payoff for the school that would entice you to use such maneuvering After searching similar policies throughout the country, I have yet to find one that disallows yearbook photos for parents who don’t sign. In fact, most of them offer parents some options as to publication pertaining to video content, newspaper content, the school website or local directories.

Yearbooks are distributed to students. Newspapers are distributed throughout the county and state and online everywhere.

Granted, anyone who wants to peruse the student yearbook for whatever reason could probably get their hands on one, but it’s far different than buying one with a cup of coffee or picking one up off the driveway.

I’d like to encourage Hiawatha parents to not sign off on that portion of the registration process. You don’t know who out there is looking to learn more about your child. Let’s not make it easy for them. At the same time, your child shouldn’t be denied the right to be included in his or her own annual school yearbook.

Marian Collins Kirkland

No to D-428 early childhood expansion To the Editor: Should District 428 spend $719,000 to create an early childhood education program next year? I vote no.

We have had numerous Head Start programs and do not need to duplicate one more at such a great cost in renovation and new

hires.

I believe there are programs at the high school for early childhood development as well as numerous other programs. Low-income and welfare recipients are provided with programs now.

Pauline O’Neill DeKalb

Keep IRS, Benghazi issues at forefront To the Editor: We were disappointed to see that the Benghazi hearings only made page 5 and the big IRS scandal related to the investigation of conservative groups only made page 6 of Saturday’s Chronicle. Neither was even mentioned in Monday’s paper.

We feel it is the press’s job to keep the public informed about these incidents so that a “Benghazi” never happens again and that the IRS is not allowed to become the political arm of either party.

A mother’s wish To the Editor: The following poem was written

by Edward Syrek, who was a member of the Northern Illinois University art faculty from 1960 to 1987. He was an accomplished artist, poet, musician, teacher and athlete. He died in 1996.

A Mother’s Wish If I could be with you a little while, my son; If I could only see you standing here, And look upon your shining face again, My empty heart might not

possess this fear.

If I could hold you in my arms again, And hear you tell me that I’m still your girl, I might not hurt so much to know you died, Fighting evils of a troubled world.

So many years ago, it seems Somehow, I see you in your tiny bed.

Then, tears of joy would fill your mother’s eyes; And now just tears, my son, because you’re dead.

It was to me you came with little hurts, And looked for pity for each tale of woe, I’d smile with pride and hold you to my heart; And so it was when you were called to go.

Somehow I felt it would be our last.

It hurt to smile and hide the many tears.

If I would send you off a happy lad, Then I must not reveal a mother’s fears.

As I felt it would, it came at last.

This telegram, my son cannot replace The precious moments of a happy past; The memory of your sweet, your boyish face.

I’ll place it with the note that was your dad’s.

He never saw you. He, too, went to war.

For these are all I’ve left of all I used to have.

My treasures lie beneath some foreign shore.

It’s growing late, and I am slowly growing old.

It’s hard to be the last, the

lonely one.

Somehow, the time is coming soon, I know; When I will be with you again, my son.

Illinois shouldn’t have to go it alone Local leaders are right (“DeKalb County child care agencies push for state funding,” May 14th) to back investments that make quality preschool affordable. But Illinois doesn’t have to go it alone.

It’s about fairness. Just 48 percent of low-income children enter Kindergarten school-ready, compared to three-fourths of higher-income kids. Quality pre-K levels the playing field, especially for poor kids. And it cultivates “soft skills” prized by employers, like focus and critical thinking, giving today’s kids a better chance to compete in tomorrow’s economy.

Congress should build a federal-state partnership, like the Children’s Health Insurance Program (All Kids, in Illinois).

Federal funds would help states like Illinois make pre-K affordable for every child. And funding would be limited to providers meeting evidence-informed quality standards.

All Kids’ success shows Republicans and Democrats can put kids ahead of politics. Let’s urge Illinois’ leaders in Congress to do it again. A child’s potential, not a parent’s income, should define the limits of academic success.

Bruce Lesley President, First Focus Washington, D.C.

What happened, Mr. President?

It hasn’t been a great week for the Obama folks, as the scandal du jour tour has firmly taken hold. Every day it seems another federal agency is exposed as having intimidated, snooped, covered up or gone to Vegas on the taxpayer dime.

Zimbabwe is even making fun of us.

On Jan. 21, 2009, in remarks welcoming his new presidential staff, Barack Obama said: “Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.”

So what happened, Mr. President? Why so much stonewalling?

Let’s take this one by one. Obama has to know that nobody is buying the assertion that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice made a simple error when she blamed the assassination of Ambassador Christopher Stevens on a spontaneous Muslim uprising caused by a stupid anti-Islamic video. No one believes that was an honest mistake, Mr. President.

So it is on Obama himself to explain the Rice deal – and also to explain why armed U.S. assets in Tripoli were not immediate-

VIEWS Bill O’Reilly ly sent to help the ambassador and other Americans under siege in Benghazi.

But for eight months, the president has refused to explain.

The IRS chaos is newer, and the president was forced to respond by firing Steve Miller, who ran the agency. But again, how could the powerful IRS get so out of control? Was it loyalty to a liberal president that made agents unfairly target conservatives? We need some clarity here.

On The Associated Press front, all the president has to do is what Attorney General Eric Holder refuses to do: Explain in general terms why the Justice Department thought it necessary to secure the phone records of AP reporters; explain why there was an urgency to the investigation. Obama can certainly do that without compromising national security. So why

isn’t he doing it?

The answer to that question lies in accountability.

When has Obama ever been held accountable for anything? The press largely covers for him when mistakes are made, and the public seems to be in a very forgiving mood, especially on economic matters, where, according to some polls, almost half of the voters believe the sluggish economy is George W. Bush’s fault.

Sensing blood in the water, the president’s ardent opponents will continue to take the scandals as far as they can. The only way this stops is for Obama to take control, admit whatever mistakes were made, explain how and why they happened, and hope the public understands.

If he doesn’t do that, his second term could well be a national nightmare.

Thumbs up: To the five members of the Choosing Life and Ending Abuse Now (CLEAN) Slate Alumni Association who last week visited DeKalb High School to share their stories with the students there. The five people, whose previous struggles with drugs and alcohol eventually led them into drug court programs, were courageous to openly share their stories. It is wonderful that they are working to change their paths, and we can only hope that students will take their real-life stories to heart and will think twice about their own choices when it comes to drugs and alcohol.

Thumbs down: To the U.S. military’s continuing crisis over how to manage relations between the sexes within its ranks. A Pentagon report last week estimated that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, and people charged with preventing it have been guilty as well. On Thursday, an officer in charge of the sexual assault response program at Fort Campbell, Ky., became the latest arrested after a domestic dispute with his ex-wife.

President Obama has called the problem “shameful,” and we agree. The modern military is made up of men and women, and military leaders must protect all who serve as best they can.

Thumbs up: To all of our local graduates. Whether they are moving on from high school or college, or completing technical degrees or GEDs, graduation is a time to celebrate accomplishments. An extra thumbs up to those graduates for whom the road wasn’t easy, and who struggled to make it this far. As they move forward in an uncertain economy, may that dedication and perseverance continue to serve them well.

Thumbs up: To Savanna Dean, 7, a first-grader at North Grove Elementary School in Sycamore. Savanna won this year’s theme contest for the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival with her theme suggestion of “Pumpkin Adventures.” The committee honored her and two runners-up Tuesday and in announcing the theme for the 52nd annual festival from Oct. 23 to 27.

The festival has been part of the fabric of the community for more than five decades, and we applaud the committee for continuing this homegrown tradition and Dean for her wonderful theme idea.

Thumbs up: To the DeKalb Police Department for developing a new way to establish more contact with the community through its new app, iWatch DeKalb.

The app allows users to submit anonymous tips to DeKalb police. In the month since iWatch DeKalb went live, the DeKalb police have received at least 15 tips from the public. The app is available for free at the App Store for Apple and the Play Store for Google.

Goals, data needed on border security In the kids movie “Finding Nemo,” a small fish’s recommendation to “just keep swimming” reflects a brave and admirable trust in the future.

But our nation’s “just keep building” approach to border security should be based on something a little more concrete. And it isn’t. This week’s report from the Council on Foreign Relations is not the first time that the U.S. has heard about the Department of Homeland Security’s inability to provide meaningful information about the effectiveness of two decades’ worth of border enforcement. In December, a Government Accountability Office report said the DHS missed its own deadline for establishing performance goals and measures to assess how well border-security strategies work. Last week, U.S. Border Patrol chief Michael Fisher told a Senate hearing his agency lacks “a scientific method” to determine how many people are entering the country illegally. That means they cannot accurately know what percentage of crossers are apprehended. And that matters. The Senate “Gang of Eight” immigration-reform bill – the nation’s best chance in many years of achieving meaningful reform of failed and deadly immigration policies – sets a border security “effectiveness rate” goal of catching 90 percent of those who try to come across illegally.

Everyone agrees apprehensions along the southern border are down dramatically, and the DHS has made itself dizzy taking bows and talking about how the border is more secure than it has ever been. But the council’s report suggests only one-third of the decrease is because of border security. The rest is the result of the economy. What’s more, there is no good way to assess whether interior enforcement or border enforcement is more effective in deterring people from crossing the border illegally, the report says. We should know what’s more effective: 100 Border Patrol agents along the line or 100 Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators in interior enforcement.

But we don’t know. Congress and the DHS should not act like cheerful little fish swimming through unknown waters toward a hoped-for happy ending.

But that’s what’s happening. With all the billions being spent on border security, it’s worth targeting a few million at finding what works and why.

EMU coach to skydive for money to fix bathrooms Eastern Michigan needs new bathrooms, and football coach Ron English is ready to jump out of a plane to get them.

English has pledged to skydive if EMU can raise at least $60,000 through its golf outing June 8 and other donations. Those who donate $5,000 will get to spend a day with English and staff members and skydive with him.

That money will go toward retiling the bathrooms in the team’s locker room and updating the fixtures and stalls.

Yes, it’s a long way from Michigan, where English used to be defensive coordinator, to Eastern Michigan – no matter what the map says.

“Obviously, at Michigan you’re not hurting for money when you’re getting 100,000 in the stands on Saturdays,” said English, who worked about 10 miles up the road in Ann Arbor from 2003 to 2007.

“In the Mid-American Conference, because of our following, the size of our stadiums and TV contracts, you have to be creative in terms of finding ways to raise money to help fund your programs.”

EMU has dubbed it fundraising effort “Time to Fly for the Eastern Michigan Football Team.” It was unveiled on the internet Thursday with a tweet of English making a pitch for fans to get involved.

It won’t be the first time English has gone skydiving. Two years ago he took the leap with the U.S. Army Golden Knights in southeast Michigan.

He wasn’t necessarily looking to do it again, but the marketing firm Eastern Michigan uses suggested it.

“On one hand, I have done it,” he said Friday. “On the other, we need this money. Of course I said yes, and moved on from there.”

English got four of his assistants to agree to jump if EMU raises at least $30,000.

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Danielle Neisendorf is in a pretty good position heading into today’s Class 2A state high jump final.

The Genoa-Kingston senior, making her fourth appearance in the 2A state meet, only needs to make her opening jump to earn a medal.

Neisendorf cleared 5 feet, Clark Brooks for Shaw Media 2 inches in Friday’s prelimiGenoa-Kingston senior Danielle Neisendorf competes in the high jump naries, one of nine athletes to during Friday’s preliminary competition in the Class 2A state track and hit the mark. If she makes her field meet in Charleston. Neisendorf advanced to today’s finals with a opening jump this afternoon – G-K coach Barry Schmidt exleap of 5 feet, 2 inches.

pects it to be 4-10, Neisendorf will earn the second state medal of her career because only nine athletes are competing and all have the opportunity to medal. She jumped 5-2 last season, good for seventh place.

It won’t take much for Neisendorf to make the stand, but she’s not taking it for granted.

“Anything can happen. You can’t just assume you’ll be able to jump,” Neisendorf said. “...

There’s a pretty good chance, but you never know what could happen.”

By now, Neisendorf is used to the experience O’Brien Field provides at state. She did not jump her best in the prelims – she missed at 5 feet and missed 5-2 twice – but Schmidt said the experience can help someone such as Neisendorf even if she isn’t at her best.

“She made some adjustments. Sometimes with jumpers, they don’t have it some days, and it seemed like that was it for her today,” Schmidt said. “But she was able to get through, I think, because of experience. She’s been in this situation before, being a senior.

Just, all year she’s been consistently able to get 5-2, and I think she’s really able to draw on that experience and make that last jump at 5-2.”

Neisendorf should get a medal, but she wants more, setting a goal of 5-6. Her personal best is 5-5.

“I would really like to enter the top five,” Neisendorf said.

“This year I’ve been more consistent at 5-4. I really want 5-6.”

CLASS 2A SYCAMORE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Another title for Spartans Spartans edge BC for 2nd straight crown

By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com SYCAMORE – The nervous feeling was a familiar one for the Sycamore girls soccer team as the minutes ticked by in the second half of the deadlocked Class 2A Sycamore Regional championship.

Two days earlier, the Spartans didn’t score in the first 62 minutes before bagging the lone goal of a semifinal win over Crystal Lake Central. On Friday, the back-and-forth championship match was scoreless midway through the second half, and Burlington Central was gaining momentum.

But the Spartans pushed forward with 19 minutes remaining, when Lauren Miller collected a loose ball in the penalty area and found the corner of the goal to give the Spartans a 1-0 win and their second straight regional championship.

Wright jumping for joy Sycamore high jumper qualifies for state meet

By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com STERLING – Logan Wright didn’t take too much comfort in the fact that he had made the qualifying height for high jump earlier in the season.

The Sycamore junior had cleared 6 feet, 3 inches at the indoor Northern Illinois Big 12 meet in March. However, Wright hadn’t gotten back to that height since the outdoor season started.

“There were certain meets where my steps weren’t right, certain meets where i wasn’t feeling it and didn’t get anything out of my jump,” Wright said.

But Wright came through when it matAlex T. Paschal for apaschal@shawmedia.com tered, clearing the bar at 6-3 on his third Sycamore’s Alex Handel runs the first leg of the 4x800-meter relay Friday in the and final attempt and qualifying for state Class 2A Sterling Sectional. Joining Handel on the relay was Dave Emmert, Tanner Friday in the Class 2A Sterling Sectional.

Yohe and Nick Aase. The team finished third and matched the state qualifying time “I just felt good. I warmed up right. I of 8:15.24. did what I knew I was supposed to, took

it seriously,” Wright said. “I missed the first two, but then that third one, I was definitely ready for it, and it worked out.”

Wright finished in a three-way tie for second. He had three attempts to set a personal best at 6-4, but said he had other things on his mind at that point.

“I was kind of more excited than anything,” Wright said. “It was hard to focus.”

Wright will be joined by three teammates and the Spartans’ 4x800-meter relay team.

Kaneland won the team championship with 151 points. Sycamore finished fourth (64 points) and Genoa-Kingston was 10th (17 points).

Sycamore’s 4x800 relay team came in with a strategy balancing the Spartans’ desire to qualify for state in the relay with senior Dave Emmert’s chances in the individual 800. Nick Aase, Alex Handel and Tanner Yohe had to get the baton to the anchor Emmert in less than 6:10 or Emmert would coast in his two laps, saving himself for the individual 800.

Cowboys keep NIU alum Free at much lower salary IRVING, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys have reduced right tackle Doug Free’s salary significantly after a difficult season that ended with him as a part-time player.

The Cowboys reworked the final two years of Free’s contract, and the Norhtern Illinois alumnus will make $3.5 million in 2013 instead of $7 million.

Dallas probably would have cut Free if the five-year veteran had rejected a salary cut.

Free is now set to make another $3.5 million in 2014, but that money isn’t guaranteed. He originally had $15 million left on the four-year, $32 million deal he signed in 2011.

Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk (right) controls the puck past Blackhawks defender Michal Handzus during Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series Wednesday at the United Center. Datsyuk was held without a point in the Hawks’ 4-1 win.

GAME 2: RED WINGS AT BLACKHAWKS, NOON TODAY, NBC, 97.9-FM

Hawks await Datsyuk’s next move Sharp and Co. paying special attention to Red Wings forward CHICAGO – Let’s say you play for the Blackhawks.

Let’s say you’re trying to defend Detroit Red Wings magician-forward Pavel Datsyuk.

Nine times out of 10, you probably are going to look foolish.

That doesn’t mean you’re a bad hockey player – because you’re not. In this thought experiment, you are a great hockey player, just not as great as the Wings’ 34-year-old center.

Don’t take my word for it.

Ask Patrick Sharp, who so far has been the Hawks’ most valuable player of the postseason. Sharp has six goals and several key takeaways in the playoffs but still isn’t sure whether the best strategy against Datsyuk is to sit back and defend the puck or charge forward and play the body.

“I mean, pick your poison,”

VIEWS Tom Musick Sharp said Friday after the Hawks practiced at the United Center. “He’s one of those guys that can be standing still and make you look silly. He’s physical, as well, so if you rush at him, he’s always got the ability to knock you over.

“It’s pretty scary when he’s coming down at you with the puck.”

Then again, the Hawks have an entire team that looks pretty scary to the rest of the league. They’ll look to increase their series lead to 2-0 today in the Western Conference semifinals when they host the Red Wings for a nationally televised matinee game.

The Hawks are smart

enough to prepare for a Game 2 pushback from the Wings, who were dominated in Wednesday’s series opener while being outscored, 4-1, and outshot, 42-21. Remarkably, Datsyuk registered no shots on goal after recording 49 points in the regular season.

Another goose egg today is unlikely from the talented Russian. He had seven points in seven games against the Anaheim Ducks in Round 1 and has 101 career points in the playoffs.

That’s why Hawks coach Joel Quenneville told his players to pay special attention to No. 13.

“Still dangerous,” said Quenneville, who coached the St. Louis Blues when Datsyuk entered the league in 2001-02.

“I think that when you watch him play, there are so many things that he can do in the course of a game. He’s still a threat no matter what situation he’s presented with.

“He’s one of those players that does things nobody else

can do. He does things that can wow you. So that’s an ongoing challenge.”

Of the Hawks’ forwards, Patrick Kane’s playing style most closely resembles that of Datsyuk. Both have the ability to weave through defenders, and both can fire a puck to the back of the net just as easily as they can snap a perfect pass to the tape of a teammates’ stick.

Those similarities are no coincidence. Although Kane is a decade younger than Datsyuk, he studied the Wings’ playmaker during his formative years as a star prospect.

“He’s a great player,” Kane said. “He’s one of those guys that before I came to the NHL, any time the Red Wings were on TV, you’d try to watch because of the things he does on the ice.”

Nothing foolish about that.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Players happy for coach’s recognition

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Dave Bolland chuckled at the question about his gruff leader.

Was Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville as intimidating as he seemed behind the bench?

“No, not at all,” Bolland said with a gap-toothed smile. “He’s a teddy bear.”

Make that a teddy bear with a chance to become a two-time NHL coach of the year.

Quenneville, 54, was named Friday as a finalist for the Jack Adams Award, which is given every season to the league’s top coach. Other finalists for the award include Bruce Boudreau of the Anaheim Ducks and Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Sena-

tors, with the winner to be announced during the Stanley Cup Final series next month.

Thirteen seasons ago, Quenneville won the award as the coach of the St. Louis Blues. His team won the Presidents’ Trophy that season, as it did again this season, when Quenne- Joel ville guided the Quenneville Hawks to a 24game point streak to start the year and a league-best 36-7-5 record.

However, Quenneville deflected all praise to his players.

“The fun factor this year working with this group is over the top,” Quenneville said. “It

was a special regular season.”

Patrick Kane and his teammates said Quenneville played a big role in their success, even if he chose not to admit to it.

“The thing you really learn from him is that when you play good defensively, you’re going to have more chances on the offense,” Kane said. “He really preaches coming back and being a good defensive player.”

As for being a teddy bear?

The description cracked up Quenneville, who could not believe it was Bolland, of all players, who uttered the words.

“I haven’t been called that one before,” Quenneville said with another laugh.

Wait and see: Viktor Stalberg wore a white jersey again Friday while practicing on the

“fifth line” with Brandon Bollig and Jamal Mayers.

Quenneville did not say whether Stalberg would play in Game 2 after sitting out the opener, but the Hawks’ coach typically does not change his lineup after wins.

Stalberg, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, said he did not expect the recent benching to affect his possible future with the Hawks.

“No, I just think it’s part of [hockey],” Stalberg said, “And whether I’m here or not next year, we’ll see what happens.”

Hawks bits: Bolland explained why he went after Wings forward Justin Abdelkader during Game 1. “He got me in the ‘groan’ area,” Bolland said, smiling at his intentional mispronunciation.

GIRLS SOCCER: CLASS 2A ROCHELLE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Rosary soccer still has Kaneland’s number For the 3rd time in 4 years, Knights ousted by Royals

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ROCHELLE – The Kaneland girls soccer team owned the momentum in overtime of Friday’s IHSA Class 2A Rochelle Regional championship match against Rosary.

But Rosary had Quincy Kellett’s blazing quickness at the right spot and the right time, which was enough to put the Royals over the top for a 2-1, double-overtime triumph over the Knights.

Rosary sophomore defender Maria Witte’s shot didn’t make it through a congested box but Kellett was first to the carom, and deposited a shot from point-blank range past Kaneland’s

standout goalkeeper Jordan Ginther for the 2-1 advantage with 1:48 to play in the second, 10-minute OT session.

“The defender that was coming at me just seemed to be just walking toward the ball,” Kellett said. “I don’t even remember, I just saw the ball and saw the goalie coming out. She’s an aggressive goalie, so I tried to get it in the goal before she got to me.”

Kellett, a sophomore forward who has been a prolific finisher throughout her Royals career, showed she’s as capable of pouncing on a rebound as beating defenders on long runs upfield.

“She’s not only fast, but she does have those great instincts,” Rosary coach Kristy Kane said. “She just seems to go to the right place, and when she gets pushed down, she pops right back up, so it’s like she never got pushed over in the first place.”

With the win, the Royals (15-3-3) advance to Wednesday’s Freeport Sectional semifinals against Prairie Ridge.

• Rosary advances to the Freeport Sectional Friday marked the third time in four years Rosary has eliminated Kaneland in a regional title match. The Knights still are looking for their first regional crown in program history.

“I’m really, really sick of Rosary,” Kaneland coach Scott Parillo said.

“But the girls played hard, so we’ll walk away with our heads high. It’s unfortunate, we haven’t lost to a 2A school all year, so here we go. … Who is it, of course, Rosary.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Barbs trio state bound

The Knights (11-5-3) appeared headed for defeat in regulation until Kaneland junior Brittany Olson jumped on a loose ball in the box for the tying score with 1:20 to go in the second half.

Energized by the dramatic equalizer and with some of Rosary’s top players banged up late in the match, the Knights continued their surge in overtime. Freshman Gabby Cano had a solid chance in the first overtime that Royals goalkeeper Lauren Frasca stopped, and Frasca made an even snazzier save in the second overtime on a shot by Knights sophomore Courtney Diddell that was curling toward the upper-right corner of the net.

The match was scoreless at halftime but Rosary dominated the early stages of the second half, including the game’s first goal from Geneva resident and Michigan State recruit Kaitlin Johnson off a Kellett assist just more than two minutes in to the half.

Rosary’s Kellett and Kaneland’s Diddell both hit the crossbar on attempts during the second half as the teams – who tied during a meeting early in the regular season – again showed that they’re of similar quality. But in the end, it was again the Royals celebrating and the Knights fighting tears.

“I think the girls knew [the history] because a lot of these seniors have been on the varsity since freshman year, so they’ve been there for it,” Kane said. “I think they knew it. We didn’t talk about it that much because we wanted to focus on playing our game, but we knew today was going to be a really tough game.

We did not underestimate them at all.”

Next stop for the Royals – an even longer trek than Rochelle.

By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKalb’s Marc Dubrick earned his first berth to the state track meet next weekend by finishing fifth in the 3,200-meter run in 9 minutes, 26.93 seconds in the Class 3A Huntley Sectional on Friday. His time was two seconds better than the state qualifying mark.

Joining Dubrick at state will be senior Tyler Peterson, who took second in the 110 hurdles in 15.1 seconds, and junior Jonathan Bell, who threw a personal-best 158 feet, 6 inches in the discus to beat the state qualifying mark by three feet.

As a team, the Barbs finished 11th in the sectional and suffered a couple close calls.

DeKalb’s 4x100 relay of David Long, Dre Brown, Eriq Torrey and Drew Paszotta finished fourth in 43.2, just .05 seconds behind second-place Grant. The same foursome took fifth in the 4x200 relay.

Dubrick finished fourth in the 1,600 (4:24.03), just 1.29 seconds off the state qualifying time.

“The kids ran hard,” DeKalb coach Tim Holt said. “We had some good performances and we’re very young and hopefully come around next year this time we’ll have a different feeling.”

Barbs’ Brown hopes to win triple jump • STATE TRACK Continued from page B1 Neisendorf was one of two Cogs athletes in Charleston.

Teammate Brianna Kramer took 21st in the 300 hurdles at 48.29 seconds, but failed to qualify for the finals.

DeKalb senior Jasmine Brown didn’t reach her goal of 40 feet in the triple jump.

However, Brown certainly had nothing to feel bad about, saying she felt “great” after hitting a personal-best mark of 39-11¾.

Brown’s mark was the best among Class 3A participants.

“I just woke up this morning and had a little more pep in my step,” she said. “Knew it was going to be good.”

Brown also had a mark of 18-6½ in the long jump, the second-best mark in 3A behind West Aurora’s Emma Spagnola (18-9¼).

Today could be a special day for the senior.

“I want to win it in triple and place in long jump,” she said.

Elsewhere in Class 2A, Sycamore competed in two events but didn’t get anyone through.

Lilia Edwards was 25th in the triple jump at 33-7½, while the Spartans’ 4x100 relay of Briana Iwans, Hanna Gross, Christina Dailey and Lauren Goff was 20th at 50.46.

Kaneland had three finalists. Lauren Zick took 11th in the long jump (16-11¼), while Christina Delach took 11th in the pole vault (10 feet). The Knights’ 4x800 relay of Amanda Lesak, Aislinn Lodwig, Jessica Kucera and Sydney Strang was ninth at 9:39.47.

Brown was eighth in the 100. Sophomore Jared Smith took sixth in the 800.

Misha Ryzhov was fifth, just behind Dubrick in the 1,600. Freshman David Long finished sixth in the 300 hurdles.

Dennes Spyratos finished sixth in the pole vault with a height of 12-3.

Gullstrand wins 400: Indian Creek’s Jake Gullstrand won the 400 in the Class A Seneca Sectional and will make his second straight appearance in the state meet next weekend.

SOFTBALL Spartans cruise: Sycamore defeated Dixon, 12-1, in a Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover game. McKenna Marcinkowski (4-4) got the win for Sycamore, giving up no earned runs and striking out four.

Brit Huber was 2 for 4 with a double, triple and five RBIs. Jasmyne Taylor finished 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs and Tristyn Criswell was 2 for 5.

Jordyn Shultz was 2 for 4.

“Even though we started off slowly, it was encouraging to see the kids make some adjustments at the plate and see them pay off,” Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said. “Brit Huber had a big day, and we did some of the little things well, like getting our bunts down and hitting the ball to the right side to score a runner.”

The Spartans advance to play Freeport in a Class 2A Freeport Sectional semifinal Wednesday.

“Getting that one, then you’re like, ‘OK, we’re fine,’ ” coach Dave Lichamer said. “Whoever was going to get that first goal was going to have a really big advantage. It was a little ease off of us to get it first.”

Neither team created many chances offensively in the first half, which primarily was played in the midfield. The Spartans (9-112) had their first legitimate chance in the 18th minute, when Miller’s shot was turned away by the Burlington Central goalkeeper.

Alyssa Maillefer had a chance to put Sycamore on the board four minutes later when she received a cross from Amy Schroeder, but her shot from just outside the sixyard box was saved.

Burlington Central (18-3-1) came out in the second half attacking with more intensity and controlled the flow of the match early, but the Spartans’ defense held steady.

“We stayed composed,” Miller said. “We just played as a team, and that’s all you can really do. We stuck together.”

Miller finally scored after 61

Amy Schroeder takes a tumble after tripping over her opponent in the Class 2A Sycamore Regional championship match against Burlington Central on Friday.

The Spartans won, 1-0. minutes of back-and-forth soccer.

A Burlington Central defender deflected a Sycamore cross to the Spartans’ forward, who placed the ball into the lower left corner.

“I feel like we had a lot of good shots on goal and a lot of good chances, but we hadn’t finished any of them, so to finish one felt really good,” Maillefer said. “It was a really big sense of relief to be able to know that all you have to do is stay up, you’re not chasing anymore.”

The Spartans moved on with a 1-0 win for the second straight match, but this one was a little bit different from the Sycamore-dominated semifinal.

“With Crystal Lake, we were able to maintain a lot of control through the midfield and we were winning a lot of 50-50s,” Lichamer said. “Today it wasn’t that. Burlington was pressing on us, they were winning the 50-50s. … But we took advantage when we needed to.”

Hooker wins 100, 200 J & D Door Sales Inc. • BOYS TRACK Continued from page B1 The first three did their part and Emmert tried to time it right and finish faster than the state qualifying mark of 8:15.24. His pace was perfect, finishing in third place, but matching the exact qualifying time to the hundredth of a second.

“I had no idea (it was close),” Emmert said. “I looked up at the scoreboard coming around the final curve and I thought I’ve got enough time and then my coach started yelling at me there. It’s crazy.”

Sycamore sophomore Dion Hooker won his first sectional championship, taking first in the 100 (10.85) and 200 (21.77).

Junior Mark Stice took second in the 3,200, finishing in 9:45.38. Emmert came back to finish second in the 800 at 1:56.6.

Genoa-Kingston’s Gabe Williams was second in the 200 (22.02) behind Hooker and was the Cogs’ only state qual-

ifier.

Kaneland’s Dylan Nauert was a double-winner, taking first in the 110 high hurdles in 15.33 and winning the 300 hurdles in 39.0. Nauert qualified in the 300 hurdles as a freshman and sophomore.

“To do a double is amazing,” Nauert said. “It’s really exciting going downstate.”

Kaneland’s 4x800 team of Conor Johnson, Kyle Carter, Luis Acosta and Nate Kucera took first in 7:55.09, more than six seconds better than their seed time. The Knights’ 4x400 relay team also was first.

Nate Dyer took first in the shot put with a mark of 51-4.

The Knights’ Dylan Kuipers and Kory Harner placed first and second, respectively, in the pole vault. Kaneland’s Tanner Andrews jumped 44-9 to win the triple jump.

Nate Kucera took second place in the 400 in 49.22. The Knights’ 4x100 team was second in 43.3. Kaneland’s Marshall Farthing tied Wright for second in the high jump at the same height and qualified for state.

METS 3, CUBS 2

Cubs thrown out at home Next

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – David DeJesus singled sharply to right field in the eighth inning and Darwin Barney sprinted from second base.

Third base coach David Bell sent Barney home with the potential tying run.

Whoops!

Marlon Byrd threw on the fly to catcher John Buck, and the ball beat Barney by about 15 feet. Barney didn’t even bother to slide and slowed down as Buck applied the tag, preserving the lead in the New York Mets’ 3-2 win over the Cubs on Friday.

“Turned out it wasn’t a very close play,” Bell said.

“It’s disappointing, it was the wrong decision. I just watched

vs. N.Y. Mets, 12:05 p.m. today, CSN, AM-720 the replay again, and it wasn’t close. As a third base coach, you want to make the right decision, and that wasn’t the right decision.”

Edwin Jackson (1-6), coming off a victory at Washington on May 11, gave up three runs and seven hits in 63 innings for the Cubs.

“I think it’s just been a mechanical thing, I’ve been feeling pretty good mechanically,” Jackson said. “I’ve been able to go out and get in a rhythm early. Regardless how I feel, regardless how I look, regard-

less how I pitch, the objective is to come out and win the game. We battled today, but we came up short.”

Matt Harvey, the Mets’ 24-year-old right-hander, got to show off his bat as well as his arm. He won his fifth straight decision, allowing two runs and five hits in 73 innings, and singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh after Rick Ankiel’s double.

“This guy is different. He’s not your run-of-the-mill young pitcher,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “This guy has got some savvy. He’s got great confidence.”

Daniel Murphy and David Wright homered for the Mets, who won consecutive games for the first time since May 1 and 3.

PREAKNESS STAKES, 3:30 P.M. TODAY, NBC

Orb favored to win Preakness

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press BALTIMORE – Everything’s a go for Orb. The Kentucky Derby winner was in a playful mood the day before the Preakness, making faces for photographers between nibbles of grass outside his stall at Pimlico Race Course.

“He’s really settled in well.

He seems to be energetic about what he’s doing, so I couldn’t be more pleased,” trainer Shug McGaughey said on a warm and sunny Friday morning. “We’re excited about giving him a whirl to see if we can get it done and go on to the next step.”

Getting it done would mean defeating eight rivals in the 13/16-mile Preakness to set up a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes three weeks from today. Orb is the even-money favorite, and there’s a growing feeling that this 3-year-old bay colt might be special enough to

give thoroughbred racing its first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978.

“We’d sure love to have that opportunity,” said McGaughey, seeming relaxed and confident. “Probably the racing world would love to see it, too. It brings a lot more attention to what we’re doing from all standpoints.”

Shug Orb extendMcGaughey ed his winning streak to five with a thrilling victory in the Derby two weeks ago, when jockey Joel Rosario patiently guided the colt from 17th to first in the final half mile over a sloppy track.

In the Preakness, Orb will break from the No. 1 post, a spot that has seen only one winner – Tabasco Cat in 1994 – since 1961.

“Who knows how this race is going to go, but I don’t think

it will be a problem,” Rosario said of the inside post. “He’s a horse that comes from behind, so I really don’t think it will affect him. I’m just excited to go into this with a horse who has a chance to win.”

A chance?

While rival trainers aren’t conceding the race, most agree Orb is the best of the bunch.

“Orb, he’s a freak. Right now, everybody should be rooting for Orb, except for the connections of the other horses in the race,” trainer Bob Baffert said – and he’s got a horse in the race, 12-1 choice Govenor Charlie. “Anybody who’s not rooting for Orb, there’s something mentally wrong with them.”

Baffert has been there before. Three of his five Preakness winners also had won the Derby, but were unable to complete the Triple Crown with a win in the Belmont. He says the Preakness is the least stressful of the three races.

Hawks’ playoff run continues Shaw Media sports copy editor Kevin Murphy picks his top sporting events to watch this weekend:

MUST-SEE TV Pro hockey: NHL playoffs, Western Conference semifinals, Game 2, Detroit at Blackhawks, noon today, NBC Yes, the Bulls’ playoff run ended, but it’s time for some early playoff hockey, so you can get on with the rest of your day. As Shaw Media’s Tom Musick pointed in Friday’s paper, killing the power play has been critical.

The Hawks are 20 for 20 on the penalty kill during the postseason heading into Game 2. That included 17 consecutive penalty kills against the Minnesota in Round 1 and a 3-for-3 mark so far against Detroit.

Horse racing: NTRA, Preakness Stakes, at Baltimore, 3:30 p.m. today, NBC Can Orb keep the possibility of Triple Crown winner alive? The Derby winner has a tough field against him, especially coming out of the No. 1 post.

Murph’s Mote Kevin Murphy SET THE DVR Pro basketball: NBA playoffs, Western Conference finals, Game 1, Memphis at San Antonio, 2:30 p.m. Sunday, ABC Memphis already has eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Can the Grizzlies continue the trend and find a way to win on the road against the other Big Three (Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli)?

“We figured with the personnel that we have right now, we really have to lock down defensively,” Memphis center Marc Gasol, the Defensive Player of the Year, said. “Sometimes offense comes and goes.

You might be able to score a lot of points or not, but if you’re always solid defensively and hold a team to less than 100 points, you’re going to have a better chance to win the game.”

CATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS LATER Women’s lacrosse: NCAA Division I quarterfinals,

Penn State at Northwestern, 7 p.m. Sunday, BTN If you never have seen college lacrosse, here’s your chance to catch a nearby program that knows how to get it done. How successful is Northwestern? Seven NCAA Division I national championships in the past eight years.

OF NOTE College track and field: Big Ten championships (tape delay), 10 a.m. Sunday, BTN Sycamore graduate Lake Kwaza sprinted to a fifthplace finish in the 100 meters.

Kwaza recorded a personal-best time of 11.56. That time ranks fourth all-time at Iowa.

“She hasn’t arrived yet,” Iowa assistant coach Clive Roberts told the Daily Iowan.

“I think she’s just got so much more in her … she hasn’t written her whole story yet.”

Cool Helmets

What’s new in protective gear for kids this season

K

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press

ids who balk at the idea of wearing head protection for outdoor activities might find it harder these days to argue that helmets aren’t cool.

From dry-erase helmets to ones shaped like animals and bugs to others in bright colors, many of today’s helmets are designed to make kids want to wear them long after the bike is parked or the snowboard stowed.

“We’ll lay out 10 different character helmets at a skate park and let 20 kids try them on and play with them. We’re able to see immediately which designs resonate with them,” says Brad Blankinship, a spokesman at Los Angeles-based C-Preme, which makes helmets and other skate and bike gear.

Some of what’s new: C-Preme’s helmet line Raskullz has a wide range of styles shaped or painted like dinos, sharks, ladybugs and pussycats complete with appendages like fins, antennae and ears.

There are lightning bolts, zebra stripes and a Mohawk trim. A new toddler Miniz version of the lineup was added this spring, and in May the Raskullz line adds additional 3-D animal attachments like raccoon tails and feathers. www.raskullz.com Helmet Zoo makes colorful, elasticized fleece helmet covers on themes like sea, farm and woodland creatures, and fantasy characters. Pandas, tigers, skunks, snakes, pink poodles, devils and a generic version of those popular ill-tempered birds are all avail-

Cincinnati-based author Anna Luther applied colored and patterned duct tape to her child’s bike helmet to give it a new look. Luther blogs about family life at www.mylifeandkids.com. “It was a quick and easy project,” she says. able, as are multi-legged spiders and a pink fairy princess with tiara and veil. The covers will fit any style of helmet, and are cleanable. www.helmetzoo.com Low-key-cool Burton has the RED helmet line that includes kids’ Avid Grom, a crosssport helmet for snow and pavement. No wild graphics, but hip colors like green, white, red, black and orange branded with a logo. www.altrec.com Smith Optics makes the Gage snow helmet in matte black or white, or more vivid hues like cyan, bright green and violet. They’re embellished with an understated, stylized graphic on one side. Also from Smith, a combo of Cosmos Jr. helmet with Galaxy goggles; a magnet and slide-release buckle keep the two pieces together. The Zoom Jr. has a soft,

fuzzy lining, and all have lots of head vents, since kids’ heads get sweaty quickly. www. smithoptics.com Swedish company POC makes a helmet named Pocito Light. In-mold technology means the outer hard shell is thinner, and there’s expanded polystyrene foam all through the inner layer to disperse impact. A fluorescent orange would stand out on a snowy hill, and there are options for different weather conditions, too: Neck and ear pads may be removed for warmer-weather skiing and snowboarding. www.xsportsprotective.com Biking and scootering kids might like the imaginative range of helmets from Scotts Valley, Calif.-based Giro, with names like Rascal, Rodeo, Flume and Slingshot. Graphics such as red flames and silver skulls might appeal to older children, while cartoon airplanes, pigs, firefighters and bunnies could attract younger – or goofier – kids. www.giro. com If your creative kid would just like to jazz up an existing helmet, check out the funky line of helmet accessories from Fauhaux, started by two former ToysRUs executives and moms, Jocelyn Fine and Kelly Dineen.

The embellishments are made of lightweight foam and attach with Velcro. Dreadlox come in black, green, blue or multicolored; spiky Punkrox come in pink or red. www.fohawx. com Anna Luther of Cincinnati, who blogs about life as a mom of three at www.mylifeandkids.com, got out the colored duct tape when her daughter’s Barbie helmet lost its charm but still fit fine. Enlisting the help of both her daughter and son, “we had a ball de-

signing the helmets,” she says. Her daughter opted for pink and purple hearts. For her son, they created a blue and green helmet cover.

“With a project this simple and cheap, we can re-design them every summer,” Luther says.

Also for the DIY crowd, Wipeout has helmet and dry-erase marker kits. White, black, pink and green helmets can be decorated with kids’ own designs or the stencils provided. Those include rockets, peace signs, clouds and stars. www.iwipeout.com Finally, some tips from safety experts: The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute says the best way to get your child to wear a helmet is to wear one yourself. Start the helmet rule early, be consistent, point out sports pros wearing helmets, and teach kids that having a bike is really owning one’s first vehicle – and responsibility comes with the privilege.

At www.safekids.org, find an easy test for fitting a helmet: Once it’s on, ask the child to look up. They should be able to see the bottom rim. Straps should form a “V’’ under the ears and be slightly tight. When a child opens her mouth wide, the helmet should hug her head. There should be no rocking of the helmet at any time.

You don’t need to replace a helmet each year if your child’s helmet has thick and thin pads so you can adjust the fit. But do take your child with you when buying the first helmet, and buy from the right category – toddler, child or youth.

All helmets made in the United States must carry the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s sticker.

Replace the helmet if there’s been a crash.

FAMILY TIME | Fun tips for fantastic family vacations

Tip of the week Family vacations are always a great time for family bonding and exploring new places. With some careful planning, the trip can be packed full of fun from the minute you lock the front door to the minute you arrive back home, exhausted and ready to share stories of your adventures with friends and family.

Traveling with children does require careful planning, but taking a little extra time to plan ahead will make your time spent together that much more rewarding. Take these ideas into consideration as you organize your family trip.

• Traveling organization – If you’re on a road trip this spring or summer, keeping track of all the snacks, games

and travel necessities isn’t easy. Put a few household items to use, and you’ll be able to keep everything where it belongs, instead of having it rolling around under the seats. For example, a shoe organizer hung over the back of the front seats helps to keep all children’s toys and activities within reach. And a divided cardboard drink container is an excellent storage kit for needed items like snacks, tissues, hand wipes, etc. For airline travels, the mantra “less is more” comes into play.

Have each child pack one carry-on, such as a metal lunchbox or a backpack, with all their traveling necessities. Crayons and coloring books, as well as small game books like crossword puzzles or word searches are recommended.

• Create “snacktivities” – Package the snacks you’ll be eating on the go with activities to keep the kids busy.

For example, a new coloring book with a juice box and a snack will help everyone forget they’re on a long trip.

• Make the hours work for you – If you have the ability, schedule your travel time during bedtime or naptime.

Plan frequent breaks where everyone can get out of the car and run around,

releasing pent up energy. Try to avoid driving during rush hour traffic, which would add additional stresses to everyone in the vehicle. For airplane travel, avoid leaving on peak travel days if you can.

• Get creative with snacks – Mix up the traditional to keep the snacks interesting, which can help make the travel time appear to pass much quicker. Create your own trail mix, or give the kids paper plates, sandwich crackers, cheese and fruit make their own “snack creations” in the shapes of animals. Visit www.lance.com for additional snack recipes and snacking ideas.

• Play together – When in doubt, good old-fashioned car games such as “I Spy” can provide hours of entertainment for the entire family. While in the car ask kids to look at billboards, road signs, license plates and buildings to find the letters of the alphabet in order.

For instance, to find an “A” the child might see Applebee’s and say it aloud, then move on to finding the letter B. You can also play counting games with younger children. Count blue vans, find 10 horses, count rest stops or water towers. How many people pass you on

After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors.

To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.

But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up. – Penguin Young Readers Group

Garden all year with four seasons in a box

By BARBARA LINDHOLM

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

DeKalb County Master Gardener Is it possible to make a beautiful garden display in a small space? Of course it is.

New gardening trends for 2012 and 2013 included downsizing your garden area to accommodate current busy lifestyles. As our planning turns to the creation of smaller gardens, it is a good time to think about making a petite but attractive garden at the entrance to your residence.

Often the first impression of your home and landscape is the mailbox at the front of your property. By dressing up your mailbox, you can have a beautiful four-season display in a very limited space.

Mailbox gardens come in two basic styles. The first style involves a raised bed structure. The other style is created directly on the ground.

For this article, I will be concentrating on creating the raised bed mailbox design.

Raised bed mailbox structures can have one to three tiers depending on the height of the mailbox center post.

Ultimate dimensions of your

box will depend on the space you have available.

The mailbox garden we designed used 2-by-8-inch pressure treated lumber to create a 3-foot-square ground level for tier one. The second tier was made using 2-by-6-inch pressure treated lumber and was 2 feet square. The second tier needs to be rotated 45 degrees relative to the first level forming a diamond shape.

You will now have four large corner spaces on tier one and room for several plants and a vine on tier two.

After filling the box with potting soil, the next decision is plant selection. This will be influenced by how much maintenance you want to undertake.

The choice of perennials and bulbs, both of which come back every year, will be easier to care for with less trimming, watering and yearly planting.

A spring display of bulbs can get your mailbox garden

Dress up a mailbox with a beautiful four-season display. This mailbox garden has tulips (left) in the spring and black-eyed Susans (right) and other plants in midsummer. off to a good start. Summer perennials will bloom for a long period of time and can then be followed by fall flowering plants. If you include some plants with seed heads or grasses, there will be winter interest and food for the birds.

Begin your seasonal display with tulips, daffodils or other good-sized bulbs planted the previous fall. Large

bulbs are planted deeper and as they die out, they can be over planted with annuals.

Some summer flowering perennial suggestions include small dahlias, dwarf iris, small bellflowers, primroses, dianthus or miniature daylilies. For lower maintenance, go native with coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, penstemons or small grasses.

The perennial favorite

for fall is the small cushion mums. A low-maintenance option here would be any of the fall sedums, as succulents use less water.

For winter interest look for any perennials that produce good seed heads such as coneflowers or dwarf hollyhocks.

The most popular vine choice for a mailbox garden is clematis. Self-sowing “Grandpa Ott” Morning Glory is another great selection.

Another good option for your mailbox garden is annuals. You will have a larger variety of plants to choose from and will be able to re-create your garden every year. This option will require more maintenance, but it will allow you to have many more plants in your mailbox garden.

When creating a mailbox garden, be considerate of your postal carrier. The delivery address must be clearly visible. Postal regulations state: “Customer must keep the approach to the mailbox clear of obstruction to allow safe access for delivery.”

With gardening being one of the most popular hobbies

Oak Crest honors year’s top volunteers Oak Crest DeKalb Area Retirement Center residents and staff celebrated National Volunteer Week by recognizing their many volunteers with a dessert buffet. The theme for the evening was “Volunteers – Music to Our Ears.” A program of bluegrass and gospel music was performed by Truman’s Ridge.

Liz Hoppenworth, director of resident services, spoke and sang a song dedicated to the volunteers.

Joan Launer, community events coordinator, introduced former recipients of the Oak Leaf Award who were in attendance. The award is given annually to a community volunteer and to a resident volunteer for their hours of service and for the impact of that service to the Oak Crest family.

Receiving the Community Volunteer Oak Leaf Award this year was Jerry Taylor. Taylor volunteers several times a week. He arrives early to make sure everything is ready for the Oak Crest Boys music program,

one of the highlights of the week for residents, and he participates in the program. He also arrives early to prepare for the Thursday worship service, and participates in the service.

He volunteers at other programs throughout the year and escorts the Oak Crest King and Queen to the Pumpkin Parade in October.

The Resident Volunteer Oak Leaf

Award was presented to Anita Elwell.

Elwell and her husband, Bill, moved to Oak Crest in 2011. She began volunteering right away, assisting in the craft group, which meets weekly to work on crafts for the fall Craft Fest, which benefits the Oak Crest Good Samaritan Fund, and to work on the Community Service Trauma Doll project. Elwell also volunteers in the library once a week. When a book club was suggested, she was ready to help with that. Special events at Oak Crest need many volunteers to organize and carry out, and Elwell is always ready to do what is needed.

Volunteers at Oak Crest assist with activities, programs, special events, worship services, entertainment, work in the Oak Crest Shoppe and library and take residents for strolls throughout the campus on nice days.

New volunteers are welcome. Flexible and personalized volunteer opportunities are available. Call Joan Launer at 815-756-8461 for more information.

Emerald ash borer program scheduled for homeowners University of Illinois Extension will host an informative emerald ash borer homeowner management workshop from 6 to 7 p.m. May 30 at the DeKalb County Extension office, 1350 W. Prairie Drive in Sycamore. Extension educators will explain the history, life cycle and control options for emerald ash borer. There will be time for participants to ask questions.

The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle native to Asia. Its larvae burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and eventually die. Ash trees can be infested with EAB for

a few years before the tree begins to demonstrate any signs of EAB infestation.

Currently, 41 Illinois counties are under quarantine to prevent the “man-made” spread of the beetle. The quarantine prohibits the intrastate movement of potentially contaminated wood products, including ash trees, limbs and branches, and all types of firewood.

The fee for the EAB program is $5. For more information or to register, call the DeKalb County Extension office at 815-758-8194 or visit http://web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo.

Sycamore Woman’s Club donation supports history The Sycamore Woman’s Club has been part of Sycamore’s history for more than 100 years.

Recently, the club made a donation to the Sycamore History Museum to help preserve some of the community’s treasures. The funds will be used to purchase archival supplies to protect papers or objects in order to preserve them for future generations.

“Many people know that museums collect ‘old things,’ but most do not realize the cost that goes into preserving these clues to the past,” Michelle Donahoe, executive director of the Sycamore History Museum, said in a news release. “Most of the supplies we need have to be ordered from special archival companies – simple archival boxes and folders can run over $100. We truly appreciate the support from the Sycamore Woman’s Club. It is through their help we are able to meet our mission of preserving the past for the future.”

The Sycamore History Museum is located at 1730 N. Main St. The archives and museum are open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays,

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – There’s a strong possibility that in coming months you will become involved in an endeavor that requires secrecy. It could either bomb or turn out better than you anticipate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Unless you think for yourself, others will do your brainwork for you.

You might not be too happy about what they come up with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Think through your moves carefully when it comes to financial dealings. Impulsive behavior will instigate numerous errors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – What others think of you might be more important than usual. Be careful that you don’t do anything that could lower the high esteem in which you’re now held.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Follow a previously conceived plan for a project to the letter. On-the-spot changes could seriously gum up the works.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – By being too inquisitive, you are likely to ask questions whose answers you don’t want to hear. What you don’t know can’t hurt you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Success is likely if you continue to use the same methods that have worked well in the past. Making revisions could throw you off course.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t let your ego cause you to take an unsupportable position. Your pride can get you in some extremely hot water, if you’re not careful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Matters that affect your earnings must be given top priority. If something of a frivolous nature should pop up, put it on the back burner where it belongs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Even though you might not get the last word in every instance, don’t let it frustrate you. If you’re patient, you’ll still be able to make your most important points.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll make good progress on your goals, though few will be completed. Be grateful for whatever headway you do end up making.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – When socializing with friends, find the balance between cheapness and extravagance. Don’t spend more than you can afford, but don’t hold back, either.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A situation that has been souring a close relationship with a friend can be resolved, if you’re motivated to do it. Both parties must be forthright.

Mom dreads rivalry between daughter, sibling Dear Abby: I am the mother of a 5-year-old daughter I’ll call Mandy. Her father and I separated when she was 16 months old and now we are divorced. I am newly engaged to a wonderful man and very happy.

I have just learned that my ex is having a baby boy with a woman he has stated he does not love and isn’t even in a committed relationship with.

I would like to protect Mandy from any pain this might cause her because she is a Daddy’s girl.

How should I deal with this and maintain my composure regarding the sibling who will now forever be a part of my daughter’s life (and mine)? – Stressed Out in San Diego Dear Stressed Out: It is not appropriate to show your disgust with this situation to your daughter. Because your ex has gone on record that he doesn’t love the woman he impregnated, and he is not in a committed relationship with her, you may be worrying needlessly. He will have a financial obligation to his son, but whether he’s willing to be a father in the best sense of the word we don’t know.

If Mandy interacts with her half brother she will have to learn to SHARE, which is an important life lesson every

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips child must learn sooner or later.

Dear Abby: I am a 40-something divorced female. After my divorce I met a man I enjoyed being with. He led me to believe he cared for me and I bought into it. It was a vulnerable time for me and, unfortunately, I let my guard down. I did something stupid and co-signed for a student loan for him. He has stopped making payments, has blocked my calls, moved, etc., and now I’m stuck with the financial burden.

I have learned that he had a fiancee while we were involved and they are now married. Abby, he was bilking me the whole time.

I need to know what legal recourse I have. I know where he lives and possibly where he works, so if he needs to be served with papers, he can be found. I regret that I didn’t keep my guard up, and I don’t feel he should get away with this. What should I do now? – Let My Guard Down in Ohio Dear Let Your Guard Down: It appears you have been the victim of a fraud. If I were

you, the first thing I’d do is share his address with the loan company. Then I’d discuss this matter with the police to find out if he has a history of bilking women and if I could file charges. If that isn’t possible, the next thing I’d do is talk with a lawyer about any legal remedies available to me. And that’s what I’m advising you to do.

Dear Abby: I work in the media and meet a lot of people. I have arthritis in my hands. I have always believed in a firm handshake, but I’m finding that receiving one is crippling my hand. I don’t want to appear unfriendly by not reciprocating a handshake, but I don’t want my hand to ache for hours on end after meeting someone. Any suggestions? – Hurting in Dover, Del. Dear Hurting: It would not be unfriendly to simply say, “It’s nice to meet you, but I can’t shake hands because I have arthritis.” Many people do, and it’s the truth.

Dear Abby: I took care of my husband for 10 years before his death from early-onset Alzheimer’s. I am in a relationship now, and I’m finding that a widow’s status is far different than that of a wife.

Not long ago, I was invited to a friend’s daughter’s wed-

ding. When I asked if I could bring “Sam,” I was told, “No, we don’t know him and there are a lot of other people we would like to invite.” I got the same response from my first cousin when I asked if I could bring Sam to her son’s wedding: “No, we don’t have room for him and we don’t know him.”

Abby, Sam and I are a couple; he is not a casual boyfriend. Surely, if we were married he would be invited.

Please tell me what is proper when inviting a widow to a wedding or other event. I find the responses I received from my friend and relative to be insensitive and hurtful. – Widow Stands Alone Dear Widow: It is considered a breach of etiquette to ask to bring a guest to an expensive event like a wedding if only you have been invited. If that option were open, your invitation would have been addressed to “Mary Smith, and guest.”

It’s likely that money constraints dictated the guest list be limited at both of these weddings. If this happens again, it is up to you to decide whether witnessing the event is more important than your discomfort. Some people would skip the reception because sitting around listen-

ing to music and watching couples having a great time on the dance floor is too depressing.

Dear Abby: I doubt this will be answered, but I am desperate. I have been dating this awesome guy for three months. He is really sweet and I feel like it’s going somewhere.

The problem is, I lied to him. He’s well-educated and he continuously encourages me to further my education.

He thinks I’m a college grad, when in reality, I am three credits short of a diploma. I plan to finish this summer.

Should I come clean, or should I let him think what he thinks? – Going Someplace And Feeling Guilty Dear Feeling Guilty: I think you’d feel better if you cleared the air, and if you do, I’m sure he will respect you for having the character to do so. Explain that in your eagerness to impress him you didn’t mention that you’re three credits short of graduating, but you’ll have them by autumn. If it’s a deal-breaker, I’d be surprised, but it would mean he wasn’t the man for you.

Many forms of vasculitis can be treated successfully Dear Dr. K: My father recently saw his doctor, complaining of fever, fatigue, joint pain and rashes. His doctor suspects vasculitis. What is vasculitis? How is it diagnosed and treated?

Dear Reader: Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. This inflammation can be severe enough to reduce blood flow to tissues and organs.

We don’t know for sure what causes it, but scientists believe it is an autoimmune disease.

For some reason, the immune system mistakenly attacks the blood vessels, causing them to become inflamed. Under the microscope, you can see immune system cells next to the walls of blood vessels, and the walls have been damaged (presumably by the attack).

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff There are many different types of vasculitis, affecting blood vessels of different sizes and in different locations. The various forms also differ by the age at which they typically begin and the symptoms they cause. Following are the types of vasculitis your father may be dealing with: • Giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis) affects medium to large arteries, including those around the scalp, face, eyes. This type also affects the aorta as it branches from the heart, up into the neck and head.

• Takayasu arteritis affects the body’s biggest artery, the aorta, and its main branches.

• Polyarteritis nodosa affects small- to medium-sized blood vessels, especially in the skin, intestines, kidneys and nerves.

• Kawasaki disease is particularly likely to involve the arteries of the heart. It occurs mainly in children and can cause fatal heart attacks in young children.

• Hypersensitivity vasculitis affects the smallest blood vessels, especially those in the skin. It is triggered by an allergy, particularly to a drug.

• Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s) affects small- and medium-sized blood vessels in the kidneys and in the upper and lower

respiratory tract.

• Vasculitis due to rheumatologic diseases. The two most common of these diseases to produce vasculitis are systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) and rheumatoid arthritis.

• Vasculitis due to infection. Certain viruses cause vasculitis. Two examples are hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus.

The most accurate way to diagnose vasculitis is with a tissue biopsy. The doctor removes a small tissue sample from an organ (such as skin, muscle, nerve or kidney) to be examined in a laboratory.

Before a biopsy, however, the doctor is likely to do some less invasive tests. These may include blood tests to check for

inflammation, immune system activity, and liver and kidney function. Urine analysis may also be done to evaluate possible kidney problems.

The main treatment for most types of vasculitis is prednisone. This corticosteroid works by reducing inflammation. Additional treatments depend on the form of vasculitis. For example, a doctor may treat giant cell arteritis with an immune-suppressing medication.

The intensity and duration of the treatment depends on the type and cause of the vasculitis. The good news is that most cases of vasculitis can be treated successfully.
