Smith gets 50-year jail sentence Woodstock man was previously found guilty of first-degree murder

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

Timothy S. Smith, was sentenced in the death of Kurt Milliman.

WOODSTOCK – Locking eyes with the man convicted of killing his brother, Scott Milliman said he never got to hear the slain man’s last words or see his last

Bentley case still open, but sluggish

breath.

Timothy S. Smith, 28, was sentenced Wednesday to 50 years in prison. A jury previously found him guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Kurt Milliman over Memorial Day weekend in 2011.

“I hope you spend the rest of your life in prison, never being able to forget my brother Kurt’s name,” Scott Milliman said through tears and stuttered breaths. “… You took away a very good man from us.”

During Smith’s February tri-

al, prosecutors said he placed an online ad for sex with his wife, Kimberly Smith, to which Kurt Milliman responded.

Kimberly Smith testified that she was pregnant at the time and didn’t want to have sex with Kurt Milliman, but when she refused,

he grabbed her arm and slapped her in the face. That’s when Timothy Smith came around a corner of their Woodstock-area home with a .38-caliber handgun and shot the former courthouse

Prescribed antibiotics on rise

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The occasional tip still rolls in three years to the day since Beth Bentley was last seen.

But so far, every lead has taken police to a dead end, and details in the case of the missing mother of three remain scarce.

“The case is still open. It is considered a cold case,” Woodstock Detective Sgt. Jeff Parsons said.

Beth Bentley “ A n y t i m e a was last seen lead comes in, May 23, 2010. no matter how insignificant it is, we chase it down to its end.”

Angela Montgomery, a close friend of Bentley’s who has fallen into a makeshift role of family spokeswoman, said she would like to see the investigation moved along to law enforcement agencies in southern Illinois where Bentley was last seen May 23, 2010.

Jenn Wyatt-Paplham has said repeatedly that she dropped her friend off across the street from a Centralia Amtrak station after a weekend trip to Mount Vernon, about 80 miles east of St. Louis.

Amtrak had no record of Bentley buying a ticket, and no one has come forward to say they saw her in the area that day.

U.S. doctors are prescribing enough antibiotics to give them to four out of five Americans every year, an alarming pace that suggests they are being overused, a new government study finds.

Drugs are being overused, study says

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com Dr. Theresa Walden sees a phenomenon growing each day involving doctors, patients and the use of prescribed antibiotics.

Patients with sudden coughs or headaches enter the doctor’s office expecting to leave with antibiotics, the drugs often used

to fight bacterial infections that aren’t available over the counter.

Doctors willing to cave to expectations oftentimes are prescribing antibiotics in situations that don’t warrant it, said Walden, who practices family medicine in Barrington for Advocate Health Care.

“We are starting to wake up to the fact that we need to do a bet-

ter job, but the doctors still need to do a better job,” Walden said.

“It’s a mutual problem – patient expectation and the doctors giving into them.”

The problem of antibiotic overuse that Walden described is intensifying throughout the country, researchers from the

Thursday, May 23, 2013 • Northwest Herald • NWHerald.com

Fear and loathing in anonymity Most columnists are comfortable going after public officials – calling out their shortcomings and misdeeds in pieces ranging from epic prose to shrill screeds.

But in dozens of conversations, particularly in recent years, a new problem has arisen that is worthy of this screed. I’ll crank the shrillness down to seven.

The problem for journalists is sources, usually regular people, who have very little to reasonably fear but refuse to be identified because the issue they raise might upset someone.

Anonymous sources always will be part of journalism. Sometimes sources have very good reasons to seek anonymity – victims of sexual assault or whistleblowers, people who had vital information but would lose their livelihoods or even lives in foreign countries for speaking out.

The Northwest Herald, like all legitimate news agencies, has its own policy on anonymous sources in our editorial principles: “We will seek to disclose to readers the name of the source of all information we gather for publication. Such transparency is important to lend credibility to sources. When we agree

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons to withhold the name, a source will not be made known to anyone outside Shaw Suburban Media.

“Before information is accepted for publication without full attribution, we must make every reasonable effort to get the source on the record. If that is not possible, we will seek the information from another source whom we can identify publicly. If we do withhold the name from publication, we will ask for an on-the-record reason for concealing the identity and will include that reason in the story ...”

We’ve encountered countless examples of sources seeking anonymity for lesser reasons. I’m hesitant to detail them since it’s not my purpose to shame individuals who never asked to be in the spotlight. But it’s becoming a borderline epidemic.

In some instances, it’s fine. We won’t print your name just for talking to us. Point us to the problem. If there are documents or other sources available, we’ll get the story. But when the

people most directly affected by the issue are afraid to use their names, the story loses a lot of impact if it doesn’t die altogether.

Explanations range from fear of irritating some village president or giving the police chief a case of the grumpies. Those explanations are confusing for journalists who do those things for a living.

This isn’t Damascus or Riyadh.

What could happen? You might get a frosty reception at the Chamber mixer?

What’s concerning is that they often seem like normal people – decent people who just don’t want to make waves. We hear plenty from the screamers. But aren’t these decent folks the kind we should be listening to?

While there will always be cold feet from those not used to the public eye, I attribute some of this anonymity hysteria to the ability to post one’s thoughts, arguments, rants or misguided notions in many places on the Internet without identifying oneself.

How freeing to be able to air gripes without fear of retribution. Writers know better than anyone how cathartic a keyboard can be.

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER John Rung jrung@shawmedia.com 815-459-4040 EDITOR Jason Schaumburg 815-459-4122 jschaumburg@shawmedia.com

However, random Internet complaints from anonymous people are seldom taken seriously in the world of public affairs.

They might be useful for a discussion among the dozen or more people on that particular site discussing that particular story, but they don’t move the needle anywhere else.

Anonymous Internet complaints are little more than flotsam and jetsam – cyber fish turds in a cyber ocean.

Catharsis is one thing. But if you really want to change anything besides the direction of a comment thread, at some point you’re going to have to stand up for yourself and others.

People. Real people who have the will to speak and point out issues in their communites are the ones who affect change. They have to stand up in a visible way.

And sometimes that means putting your face where your screen name is.

London terror attack leaves 1 dead near barracks The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – In a brutal daylight attack which raised fears that terrorism had returned to London, two men with butcher knives hacked another man to death near a military barracks Wednesday before police wounded them in a shootout.

British officials said the attack appeared to be an act of terrorism, possibly motivated by radical Islam.

The two suspects remained hospitalized Wednesday night but their identities and that of their victim were not known.

One of them was reported to be in serious condition.

The afternoon attack occurred in the southeast Lon-

don neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from the Royal Artillery Barracks.

In Paris, French President Francois Hollande, speaking at a press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, said the slain man was a British soldier. Cameron didn’t immediately confirm that fact but the Britain’s Ministry of Defense said it was urgently investigating if a U.K. soldier was involved.

“We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,” Cameron said.

One British broadcaster ran video footage of what appeared to be one of the attackers, his hands covered in blood, making political statements about “an eye for an eye” to an unknown cameraperson as a body lay behind him on the ground.

There was no immediate way for the Associated Press to verify who the cameraman was.

Broke no laws, IRS official says – then takes 5th The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – At the center of a political storm, an Internal Revenue Service supervisor whose agents targeted conservative groups swore Wednesday she did nothing wrong, broke no laws and never lied to Congress. Then she refused to answer lawmakers’ further questions,

citing her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself.

In one of the most electric moments since the IRS controversy erupted nearly two weeks ago, Lois Lerner unwaveringly – but briefly – defended herself before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. But she would say no more, citing

legal advice in the face of a federal investigation.

Members of Congress have angrily complained that Lerner and other high-ranking IRS officials did not inform them that conservative groups were singled out, even though lawmakers repeatedly asked the IRS about it after hearing complaints from local tea party groups.

Chicago Board of Education to close 50 schools, programs

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Chicago Board of Education voted Wednesday to close 50 schools and programs, an ambitious plan that has sparked protests and lawsuits and could help define – for better or worse – Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s term in office.

City officials say the closings are necessary because of falling school enrollment and as part of their efforts to improve the city’s struggling education system. Critics have blasted Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, and schools chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett, saying the closings disproportionately affect minority neighborhoods and will endanger children who may have to cross gang boundaries to get to a new school.

They protested during a sometimes raucous board meeting Wednesday and sent busloads of parents, teachers and students to Springfield to lobby lawmakers to approve a moratorium on the closings.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis called it “a day of mourning” for the children of Chicago, but Byrd-Bennett defended the decision.

“The only consideration for us today is to do exactly

Security intervenes as Shannon Bennett, an activist with Kenwood Oakland Community Organization, attempts to speak after commandeering the podium microphone Wednesday at a packed meeting of the Chicago Board of Education. what is right for the children,” Byrd-Bennett said before the vote.

Many experts say it is the largest number of closings at any one time by any school district recently, and it comes with political risk. The teacher’s union has pledged to start a voter registration drive in an attempt to register 200,000 new voters before the 2015 municipal elections – when Emanuel will be up for re-election – and to raise funds to support candidates for mayor, city council and statewide office.

“We know that we may not win every seat we intend to target but with research, polling,

money and people power we can win some of them,” Lewis said.

But the mayor said Tuesday he believes closing the schools is the right thing to do, and that possible blowback from voters wasn’t a factor in his decisions.

“I will absorb the political consequence so our children have a better future,” Emanuel said. “If I was to shrink from something the city has discussed for over a decade about what it needed to do ... because it was politically too tough, but then watch another generation of children drop out or fail in their reading and math, I don’t want to hold this job.”

The Justice Department has launched a criminal probe of the murky events over the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns, saying it is looking into potential civil rights violations. Top IRS officials say Lerner didn’t tell them for nearly a year after she learned that agents working under her had improperly singled out conservative

groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.

Under unrelenting criticism – most forcefully from Republicans but also from Democrats and people outside politics – administration officials from President Barack Obama on down have denounced the targeting as inappropriate and inexcus-

able.

Lerner, who heads the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status and first disclosed the targeting at a legal conference, has said the same. But she also spoke up for herself Wednesday, sitting stern-faced at the committee witness table.

“I have not done anything wrong,” she said.

Man killed while questioned in Boston probe

By KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. – A Chechen immigrant was shot to death by authorities early Wednesday after he turned violent while being questioned about his ties to one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, officials said.

Ibragim Todashev, a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter, was gunned down at his Orlando townhouse during a meeting with an FBI agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Three law enforcement of-

ficials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Todashev had lunged at the FBI agent with a knife. However, two of those officials said later in the day it was no longer clear what happened. The third official had not received any new information.

The FBI gave no details on why it was Ibragim interested in Todashev exTodashev cept to say that he was being questioned as part of the Boston investigation.

But some of his former roommates who were questioned as well said that

Todashev knew one of the bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, from mixed martial arts fighting in Boston and that the FBI was asking about him.

Public records show Todashev lived in Watertown, Mass., just outside Boston, last year.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an aspiring boxer, was killed in a shootout with police days after the April 15 bombings. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, survived and is charged with carrying out the attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260.

Investigators have been trying to establish the scope of the plot.

8BRIEFS FBI: Arrest made in Wash. ricin scare last week SPOKANE, Wash. – The FBI says a 37-year-old man has been arrested following last week’s discovery in Washington state of a pair of letters containing the deadly poison ricin. Matthew Ryan Buquet was expected to make his initial appearance in federal court in Spokane following his arrest Wednesday afternoon. The letters were postmarked in Spokane and addressed to the downtown post office and the adjacent federal building. They were intercepted by the Postal Service.

4 Americans killed since 2009 in U.S. drone strikes WASHINGTON – The Obama administration acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that four American citizens have been killed in drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen since 2009. The disclosure to Congress comes on the eve of a major national security speech

by President Barack Obama in which he plans to pledge more transparency to Congress in his counterterrorism policy.

It was known that three Americans had been killed in U.S. drones strikes in counterterrorism operations overseas, but Attorney General Eric Holder disclosed details that had remained secret and also that a fourth American had been killed.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, Holder said the government targeted and killed U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki and the U.S. “is aware” of the killing of three others who were not targets of counterterror operations.

One block: How neighbors saw twister’s deadly path

By ALLEN G. BREED The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. – Dan Garland could feel the latch on the shelter door begin to turn in his hand. It was as if the storm outside were a living, breathing thing – and it was trying desperately to get in.

Huddled beside him in the darkened 5-foot-by-6-foot hole were not just his wife and 91-year-old mother, along with five neighbors and two friends from a mile away – 10 people and two dogs, all together. Johnny Knight was among them; he sold the Garlands their home at 1324 SW 149th St., and he knew his family could cross the street and find refuge there.

As bricks from nearby homes pounded on the steel hatch in a deafening staccato, the two men hung from the handle, praying their combined weight would be enough to keep the monster outside at bay.

They didn’t know it yet, but the tornado raging around them was an EF5 – the

highest ranking on the scale.

More than a mile across, it would carve a path of destruction nearly 17 miles long and leave 24 dead in its wake.

Block by block, a storm ripped apart Moore for the second time in 14 years, leaving survivors to wrestle with the awful calculus deciding whether to rebuild or move on.

After watching the news coverage all day, Knight decided this storm was different from the ones that had driven his neighbors underground.

He corralled his wife, their daughter, Angie Shelton, and her 15-year-old son, Chase, and headed across SW 149th Street to join the Garlands, who had already taken cover.

Chase was concerned that the Garlands’ next-door neighbor, Amber Bowie, did not have a shelter. He ran to get her.

Knight could see the massive cloud churning toward them as they crept inside.

His neighbor at No. 1311, Jalayne Jann, was just arriving home. Jann was at the in-

sulation company she and her husband, Darrin, own with relatives on 12th Street in Moore. The 40-year-old bookkeeper decided she would be safer in their backyard shelter than a metal building downtown and headed home.

She was talking on the phone with Darrin, who was up in Norman inspecting some jobs, when she heard the announcer on his truck radio say the storm was at 149th and Pennsylvania Avenue – just up the street. She looked up and saw a wall of debris.

Kerry: U.S., allies ready to step up aid to rebels AMMAN, Jordan – The U.S. and several key allies looked again Wednesday for a strategy to end Syria’s civil war, their united efforts unable at the moment to stem the Assad regime’s military gains and Washington still unwilling to join those providing the rebels with lethal military aid. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry allowed that President Barack Obama won’t send American troops to Syria. But he made clear that more aid to the rebels would be coming if the regime refuses to cooperate with an international effort – to be put together in June in Geneva – to form a transitional government.

N. Korean leader sends special envoy to China PYONGYANG, North Korea – After months of ignoring Chinese warnings to give up nuclear weapons, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent a high-level confidant to Beijing on Wednesday, in a possible effort to mend strained ties with his country’s most important ally and a sign that he may be giving diplomacy a chance. The trip by Vice Marshal Choe Ryong Hae, a senior Workers’ Party official and the military’s top political officer, is taking place as tensions ease on the Korean Peninsula after near-daily vows from Pyongyang to attack Washington and Seoul in March and April.

House panel moves to curb military sex assaults WASHINGTON – Members of a House panel angry over the growing epidemic of sexual assaults in the military took a key step toward tackling the problem by passing legislation Wednesday that would strip commanding officers of their longstanding authority to unilaterally change or dismiss court-martial convictions in rape and assault cases. Lawmakers believe the revision will lead to a cultural shift and encourage victims to step forward.

The legislation, which will be folded into a broader defense policy bill that the full House will consider in the coming weeks, also would impose harsher penalties on service members found guilty of sexual offenses by requiring that they be dismissed or dishonorably discharged.

Smith maintains he was acting in self-defense and protecting his wife • SMITH Continued from page A1 security officer once in the back, she said.

“He disseminates images of his pregnant wife on the Internet, and invites [a man] to have sex with her. And if that’s not enough, he shot an unarmed man in the back,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, chief of the criminal division.

Smith had at least 50 traffic violations and seven misdemeanors on his criminal record, Judge Sharon Prather said before sentencing the man, showing that he has a “total disregard for the law and authority.”

Kimberly Smith testified against her husband in exchange for limited immunity, meaning prosecutors agreed that anything she said on the stand would not be used against her.

She later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a Class 4 felony, and is yet to be sentenced.

Prosecutors dropped additional charges against her, including obstruction of justice and prostitution, as part of the plea deal. Kimberly Smith was never charged

“I am fully aware that words alone cannot, and will not, undo the damage that I have caused. I can say I am a different man.”

Timothy S. Smith with murder.

Prosecutors have said Timothy Smith staged the incident to look like a break-in.

“How can you let someone lie there and bleed on the ground … while you stage things,” Mil liman’s niece, Jessica MilKurt liman, asked Milliman during emotional testimony at the sentencing.

Timothy Smith has maintained that he was acting in self-defense and that he didn’t intend to shoot the man but was protecting his wife.

When asking for the minimum sentence, Smith’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer, said that while behind bars, Timothy Smith had turned his life around. He has been attend-

ing Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and parenting classes.

“I am fully aware that words alone cannot, and will not, undo the damage that I have caused,” Timothy Smith said Wednesday in front of a packed courtroom. He also apologized to Milliman’s family and his own. “I can say I am a different man.”

In what Messer called “a bit of irony,” while in McHenry County Jail, Messer said Timothy Smith came to the aid of an inmate who is believed to have nearly overdosed from heroin.

“Recently Mr. Smith, when presented with an emergency situation, saved the life of another inmate while in custody here at the jail,” she said.

Timothy Smith performed CPR on the inmate, who is said to have obtained heroin that was smuggled into the jail. Three men have been charged in that incident.

“It’s nice he saved the life of a heroin addict but didn’t save the life of Kurt Milliman after he shot him,” Combs said outside the courtroom.

Smith is expected to be transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections on June 19.

Judge orders captain to trial in deadly shipwreck

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press ROME – An Italian judge has ordered the captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship to stand trial for manslaughter in the vessel’s shipwreck off the coast of Tuscany, which killed 32 people.

Judge Pietro Molino, at a closed-door hearing Wednesday in the town of Grosseto, agreed to prosecutors’ request that Capt. Francesco Schettino of Italy be tried on charges of manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning the vessel while many of its 4,200 passengers and crew were still aboard.

On the night of Jan. 13, 2012, the Concordia hit a jagged reef, which gashed its hull on one side, causing the ship to rapidly take on water

just off the island of Giglio in the Mediterranean Sea. Passengers said the ship’s evacuation was delayed and chaotic. The ship listed so badly to one side that some life boats couldn’t be launched, and many people had to jump into the sea and swim to the tiny island.

Schettino will be the only defendant in the trial, which begins July 9. The five other defendants successfully sought plea bargains.

Schettino risks up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

He contends he is innocent and is being made a scapegoat, insisting that the reef wasn’t marked on the ship’s navigational charts. He has also depicted himself as a hero in the tragedy, saying that he skillfully steered the stricken ship closer to Giglio’s harbor,

thus facilitating the rescue of the survivors.

“Prison doesn’t frighten me,” Schettino told reporters who asked him about the possibility of a long sentence if convicted. “One’s conscience causes fear. My conscience is in place,” he said after the trial indictment.

Asked how he would face trial, he said he would go “knowing that I will be able to explain calmly what happened.”

His lawyer, Francesco Pepe, told reporters the judge rejected the defense’s request at Wednesday’s hearing to throw out the charge of abandoning the ship. The judge last week rejected Schettino’s plea-bargain bid, which would have drastically reduced his sentence in case of a conviction.

CL doctor: Close friend says that Bentley ‘did not intend to disappear’ Antibiotics • BENTLEY serve vital function Continued from page A1

• ANTIBIOTICS Continued from page A1 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently found.

U.S. doctors are prescribing enough antibiotics to supply them to four out of five Americans every year, CDC researchers revealed in a report published in April in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The report is the first to look at antibiotic prescriptions for all Americans.

Researchers found after analyzing a 2010 national prescription drug database that doctors are doling out 833 antibiotics for every 1,000 people. Illinois doctors are in line with the national average, prescribing about 800 antibiotics for every 1,000 people.

The findings are alarming to Walden, who said that antibiotic overuse is one reason why antibiotics become resistant to the bacterial infections that the prescribed drugs are trying to defeat.

She stressed that the public needs to become better educated on when antibiotics are appropriate. Patients and doctors alike need to curtail expectations that antibiotics are necessary to fight common illnesses such as the cold or flu, she said.

“Not everything should be ignored, but there are certain things we don’t have to treat,” Walden said. “People need to be more patient.”

Other area doctors argued that the issue of antibiotic overuse is not as severe as CDC researchers portray it to be.

Dr. Steven Campau, an Algonquin internist affiliated with Advocate Health Care, said the study presented an “oversimplification” to a complex issue.

He said that antibiotic resistance today is a product of many factors, including the fact that people are living longer and that bacterial strains by nature will adapt to common remedies the longer they are used.

The medical marketplace consequently encourages overuse because researchers and developers often are deterred by the exorbitant costs it takes to test and create new, effective antibiotics, he said.

“The major crux of this study is that the problems are derived from irresponsible patients and stupid doctors,” Campau said. “This is a complex issue with a lot of different factors.”

Dr. William Stinson, a Crystal Lake internist for Centegra Health System, admitted that he sometimes prescribes antibiotics to patients who prefer it but are dealing with a developing illness that doesn’t yet have a clear diagnosis.

But he said that antibiotics still serve a vital treatment function for many bacterial infections. Although a concern, antibiotic resistance still is not a critical issue because most bacterial infections haven’t yet adapted to the antibiotic remedies available to doctors.

“I think it’s good practice to be thoughtful about antibiotic usage,” Stinson said.

“But I can’t say at this point in time that things are much different now than they were five or 10 years ago.”

“If there’s any evidence to be found, it’s going to be found in southern Illinois,” Montgomery said.

Woodstock Police Chief Robert Lowen said his staff is coordinating the investigation but has worked with

several agencies in southern Illinois, as well as state police.

“In order to hand it off, they have to accept it,” he said.

In August, a judge tossed obstructing justice charges against Wyatt-Paplham after police said she lied to them about when and where she last had contact with Bentley.

Montgomery has long held

the belief that despite reports Bentley had misled her husband and children about her whereabouts the weekend of her disappearance, she would never have left them willingly.

Montgomery said she believes her friend died of an accidental drug overdose and that her body was hidden.

“She did not intend to dis-

appear,” she said. “She had every intention of coming home to her loving family.”

But police continue to hear from what Parsons called “our same core group of people” about the incident, and a blog and Facebook page dedicated to Bentley remain active.

Bentley’s two sons from a previous marriage, Jeremy

and Josh Velmont, 24 and 21, remain hopeful that their mother is out there. Bentley also has a younger son, Cooper, with her husband, Scott Bentley, an attorney in McHenry.

“I’m not really sure what else can be done,” Jeremy Velmont said of police activity on the case. “They can’t work magic to find her.”

Clock ticking on pensions It seems counter-productive to inform state lawmakers that there are only eight days remaining in this year’s regular legislative session, and they should be spending every minute of it focusing on pension reform as time wanes.

A ticking clock for the past few years has yet to spur any true substantive action, even though the state’s underfunded pension obligation grows by $17 million every For the record day there is no pension reform.

Every fiscal decision by Lawmakers either continue to punt state government is rules by a decision into pensions. the future, or they hold overtime or special sessions – all on the taxpayers’ dime – and still don’t come up with a solution.

But like that teacher who insists repetition as a way to learn the ABCs or the 12 times table, we’ll say it again.

Pass. Real. Pension. Reform.

Now. Every fiscal decision by state government is ruled by pensions. Continued inaction will lead to lower bond ratings and higher interest rates.

Spending on education and social services will continue to plummet. More companies will flee as Illinois becomes increasingly unwelcoming to businesses. Workers will follow.

It’s time for public employees and their unions to accept that reform is inevitable. We know you kept your side of the bargain and annually paid into your pension while for decades elected officials didn’t keep up their end of the bargain.

But without conceding that you’re going to have to work more years before retiring, that cost-of-living increases aren’t going to be as high as they are now, that you will have to pay more of your pension and health-care costs, you risk that inaction will lead to no pension at all.

There are proposals out there, one from Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, and another from House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Madigan’s promises higher savings, while Cullerton claims his will stand up to the inevitable legal challenges that will follow any reform.

The thing is, even if a lawsuit that claims modifications to the pension systems are unconstitutional is won, it won’t suddenly result in overflowing state coffers.

Instead, Illinois will just be further into its financial quagmire. And if the state has no money, it can’t pay you anything.

It’s time. Pass Madigan’s proposal now. It’s not perfect. But it’s a good start.

Moore tests strength

This nation has been pinballing from one tragedy to another over the past half-year, and at times it seems we are simply incapable of absorbing more grief.

From the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy to the shooting in Newtown, Conn., to the bombing at the Boston Marathon to the latest – the tornado that Monday literally leveled the city of Moore, Okla.

Yes, the city of 55,000 today lies in ruins.

But improbable as it may seem now, the community of Moore, Okla., remains intact.

What greater sense of “community” can there be, after all, than a teacher who throws her body over her students, huddled in a school bathroom, as the tornado roars around them?

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Helping neighbors To the Editor: I would like to acquaint my fellow McHenry County residents with a unique program available to lowincome homeowners.

This program – Neighbors Helping Neighbors – is intended to address a problem that goes beyond the typical cash, food, clothing and medicine aids that help some barely manage.

Tom Bitterman, the administrator of NHN, said that when many low-income families use all of the resources available to them, they still have nothing left to repair the leaking roof, which leaves water dripping from the ceiling or running down the wall, or the broken, cracked or rotting windows that let in the cold. Bitterman said that there are many homes that are below even the minimum standards of safety and comfort, but the residents have no means to repair them.

NHN is designed to help those who qualify. This can include malfunctioning electrical systems, plumbing, rotting stairs, loose and unsafe railings, etc.

If you feel you might qualify, Bitterman will walk you through rather simplified application and follow through on selection of contractors, all of which will be professional, licensed residents of the county. He will then inspect the finished project to make certain it is done correctly. There is no cost to those who are accepted into the program.

Of course, NHN works on a budget. Therefore, I would urge anyone wanting more information to contact Neighbors Helping Neighbors at 815-341-1047 or write to NHN, 4920 Fountain Lane, McHenry, IL 60050.

William Lorimer’s story To the Editor: The May 13 Northwest Herald published two related articles – one about the Josephine and William Lorimer Jr. House and one about the direct elections of U.S. senators.

Perhaps readers missed the connection. An impetus for direct election was the fact that William Lorimer Jr.’s father, William Lorimer, was the only U.S. senator ever thrown out of the Senate for bribing his way into his seat.

In 1909, the Illinois House, led

by House Speaker Ed Shurtleff of Marengo, voted to send Lorimer to the U.S. Senate. In 1910, a Senate investigation, based on accusations in the Chicago Tribune that Lorimer had conspired to “grease the skids” for his election, began a close scrutiny of the vote in Springfield.

This investigation gave much ammunition to the direct election movement. Lorimer was removed from his position by the vote of the U.S. Senate in July 1912.

Lorimer, known in the 1910s as the “Blonde Boss of Chicago,” was deeply involved in the lumber business, along with wealthy Edward Hines and their social and political

pal, Shurtleff. He retired to Crystal Lake.

The Tribune reported in 1934 that William Lorimer Sr. had “left his summer home in Crystal Lake” and took the train into the city. He was found dead in the washroom of the old Chicago and Northwestern train station that morning by his son, Leonard.

Springfield, government silence the voice of ordinary people Shortly before World War II, Norman Rockwell painted an image depicting a workingman standing to speak at a government meeting.

Surrounded by men in suits, he stood there in a flannel shirt and a laborer’s jacket with an agenda stuck in it pocket.

The message was clear. We are a nation where the freedom to petition one’s government isn’t limited to a privileged class.

Not so much in Springfield.

Springfield insiders eat ordinary folks for lunch. I’ve seen it time and time again while covering the General Assembly; an ordinary person comes to Springfield to speak and gets brushed aside.

The message is pretty clear: If you want to be heard in this town, hire a lobbyist.

It’s not that way everywhere.

Back when I covered the Nevada Legislature in 1999, it wasn’t uncommon to see a Boy Scout working on his citizenship merit badge come

and speak to a legislative committee about an issue important to him.

Ordinary folks just wanting to be heard could just show up and speak.

More importantly, legislators listened.

Sure, the Nevada Statehouse has plenty of lobbyists trolling the hallways, too. But it was never to the exclusion of the public.

Like Illinois, the Nevada capital, Carson City, is quite a ways from the state’s population center. So a facility was set up in Las Vegas that enabled ordinary people to drop by and testify before a committee through videoconferencing.

In this age of Skype and other video communications, it would be easy for Illinois to accommodate this type of testimony.

But it hasn’t happened.

Why? Because the powers that be don’t care what you think. Even when ordinary people make trips to Springfield, they often find themselves brushed aside or patronized.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Kate Schott, Stacia Hahn

VIEWS Scott Reeder For example, state Rep. Charles Meier, R-Okawville, was angered Friday when a group of smallbusiness people weren’t allowed to testify before the House Small Business Empowerment & Workforce Development Committee.

“This is the first time the committee met this year and we had about 18 small-business people from across the state wanting to talk about a variety of issues, and the chairman tells them he doesn’t have time to hear their testimony,” Meier said. “He allowed six to talk for about 30 seconds each. That’s just not right.”

The chairman of this committee is state Rep. LaShawn Ford, DChicago.

Are things hectic during the final

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

weeks of session? Yep. Are freshman lawmakers, such as Meier, idealistic? Yep. So what?

Honest, hardworking business owners wanted to appear before a committee and share their concerns, and they were instead told to stay quiet.

“We had an hour or an hour-anda-half to debate whether eating lion meat should be legal, but we don’t have time to hear what these smallbusiness people have to say? That not right,” Meier said.

But what about the big union rallies at the Capitol? Are they an example of “ordinary people” being heard?

Well, occasionally, groups such as the Illinois Education Association or the Service Employees International Union will have “lobby days” where thousands of their members are brought to Springfield.

And when the members visit their lawmakers’ offices, they usually get a pat on the back and a

“good to hear from you.”

Who is getting lobbied that day?

It sure isn’t lawmakers. Often when the groups’ members arrive in Springfield, they are unsure who their state representative is or what particular bills they support.

And sometimes members don’t agree with their union’s positions.

Union leaders use these events to bolster their support within the union. The folks being lobbied are the union members themselves.

The real lobbying of lawmakers is done by the lobbyists on the unions’ payrolls who dole out campaign cash and work behind the scenes.

It’s just another way Springfield insiders keep the voice of ordinary people from being heard.

COUNTY’S MOST WANTED ARRESTED One of McHenry County’s most wanted fugitives was arrested Wednesday on warrants for aggravated criminal sexual abuse and aggravated battery.

Brandon A. Williams, 21, of the 5700 block of 95th Street in Milwaukee, was apprehended Wednesday in Milwaukee by McHenry County investigators and U.S. Marshal’s Service officers after the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office received a tip last week that he was in that area.

Williams was wanted in McHenry County in connection with a November incident where he is believed to have sexually abused and choked a juvenile female. He was also wanted in Kane County on drug charges and in Cook County for traffic offenses.

Williams was taken to Milwaukee County Jail, where he is being held on $50,000 bond for his McHenry County charges. He will be transported to Illinois for a future court date.

Bless fired as Cook deputy Former County Board member also facing action against his law license Robert Bless, was fired after a Cook County sheriff’s disciplinary board concluded he violated rules.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Former Republican McHenry County Board member Robert Bless has been fired from his job as a Cook County Sheriff’s Office deputy after its disciplinary board concluded that he had violated several rules regarding his other employment.

The Cook County Sher-

iff’s Merit Board honored the sheriff’s office request that Bless be fired in a May 3 ruling obtained by the North-

west Herald under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. It ruled that Bless did not file required annual reports that he had secondary employment as a McHenry County Board member and practicing attorney, especially while collecting disability after a car crash.

“This respondent was sworn to uphold the public trust of not just the taxpay-

ers of Cook County, but also the public trust of the taxpayers of McHenry County. The board finds that the respondent maliciously breached that trust,” the merit board concluded in its findings.

The board also concluded that Bless lied to investigators by claiming that he had in fact filed the annual paperwork necessary to hold down other jobs.

Bless deferred comment to his attorney, Dana Kurtz, who could not be reached.

Bless collected disability while on injured duty status between September 2008 and November 2010, which also precluded him from driving, according to the report. The board called it “extremely egregious” that he was not

HUNTLEY MAN WINS $325K IN LOTTERY HUNTLEY – A Huntley resident recently took home $325,000 after matching all five numbers in the state’s Lucky Day Lotto drawing.

Bill Reining said in an Illinois Lottery news release that he usually buys the Quick Pick ticket after his morning workout, but on April 26 he decided to go to Drendel’s Corner Mobil, 13280 S. Route 47, before his workout to buy the winning ticket.

He later checked the Lucky Day Lotto numbers online to find that all five of his numbers – 9, 19, 23, 33, 36 – netted him the $325,000 jackpot. He said he plans to invest the money, share it with his three children and travel to Boston for his son’s college graduation.

“If you win, sit back, take a deep breath, and invest your money so it works for you,” Reining said.

Jackpots for the Lucky Day Lotto start at $100,000. Drawings are seven days a week, with more than 35,000 winners every day, the news release stated.

Wastewater project bids opened Village Redesigned Marengo plan features new treatment technology

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The city could break ground on its wastewater treatment plant expansion in the fall after the Marengo City Council recently opened the project again to construction bidders.

The city already has sent its multimillion-dollar expansion to its aging wastewater plant along Route 23 to prospective bidders twice in the past three years. Officials even broke ground on the project last summer before a buried landfill onsite halted construction in September.

But HR Green, the McHenry firm tasked with salvaging the project, unveiled a project redesign Monday that will save the city money and incorporate newer treatment technology intended to better clean Marengo’s wastewater.

“There are a lot of industrial users that would find the additional pumping capacity attractive. Most communities don’t have the availability of extra capacity. You will end with something that is very valuable with the old plant that is there.”

Ed Coggin, project manager for HR Green “It’s almost a good thing that the plug got pulled on the project last year for the effect on your bottom line,” said Ed Coggin, a project manager for HR Green.

Coggin presented the redesigned project for nearly an hour during a special council meeting Monday.

He detailed the 10-year history of the project filled with setbacks and misfortune to the revamped council, which features five new members since the September construction stoppage.

The new council authorized, 5-1, with two aldermen absent, HR Green to

send the redesigned project to construction bidders. The firm hopes to receive bids

by July, with a possible selection made by the council in September.

Coggin said the new design works better for the city because it avoids the buried landfill northeast of the existing plant entirely.

The $9 million project also is $3 million under the original project budget.

The loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency used to finance the project also will carry a lower interest rate than last year.

The redesign features new treatment technology that meets numerous environmental regulations and takes less space, Coggin said.

The plant will include new classroom space designed to draw students across the region interested in wastewater treatment to see firsthand an operational plant.

The new plant also will match the daily pumping capacity of the existing plant, which pumps enough wastewater a day to serve 12,000 residents, Coggin said. The existing plant will be kept idle once the new plant is built.

If the city adds development, the two plants can work together to pump 1.8 million gallons a day for treatment to accommodate a larger population, Coggin said.

District 50 selects Lehmann for board spot

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The District 50 school board selected Julie Lehmann to fill its vacancy Tuesday night.

A Chemung Township resident, Lehmann served as the chairwoman for a group that pushed a $22 million referendum that passed in 2008.

“I realized quickly at that

point that it’s important to take an active role,” she said. “I want to do all I can to maximize Julie the educaLehmann tional opportunities for all the children in the district.”

The referendum allowed the district to build Crosby

School and drop a grade level at other schools.

Lehmann replaces Jessica Bauman, who earlier this month resigned to go back to school near the halfway point of her four-year term.

Lehmann said she hadn’t considered running for election in the spring because she felt there already were a lot of strong candidates coming from Chemung Township.

“When the opening came, I saw the opportunity and thought this was a great time,” she said.

Lehmann has three children in the district, ages 10, 8 and 6. She said she hopes to bring an open mind to the table, and make good decisions for the good of the whole.

“I definitely bring a new voice, an analytical mind,” she said.

RICHMOND: RECURRING COMPLAINTS

Thursday

D-2 parents cite communication concerns

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – A lack of communication between District 2 school board members and residents has been a recurring complaint over the last few months.

Attendance at school board meetings exploded following news that the board was considering giving back some of the $10.4 million it had in savings.

Parents questioned why the money hadn’t been spent on improving the buildings and grounds, updating technology and bringing back programs cut when the district’s finances were in dire straits.

Many of those concerns have been addressed or are in the process of being addressed, the culmination of

plans that have been in the works since before the abatement was proposed.

But communication remains an issue – at least for two parents who spoke at the recent board meeting Wednesday evening.

The two comments – a mix of thanks and requests for more change – are in stark contrast to the public input sessions that lasted more than an hour at meetings late last year and early this year.

One parent, Jessica Bis, asked about the board’s policies on subcommittees and whether membership was open to the public. Bis, a Spring Grove resident and parent of four children, has twins in first grade.

Other school districts let residents submit questions ahead of meetings, put board

communication policies on websites and respond to resident comments or questions by phone or email, Bis said.

She had wanted a follow-up after her last public input, she said, but she didn’t get it.

Bis is owed a response, board member Mindy Ross said during a discussion of board committees.

Like most area school districts, most of District 2’s committees are made up of school board members.

Sometimes the board creates a committee charged with a specific task like evaluating technology, and community members are asked to serve on them.

Adding residents to the committees could help them understand the process better and could facilitate communication back to others, Ross

said.

Like board meetings, committee meetings are open to the public and have public input sessions, Board President Bert Irslinger said, throwing out the idea of email alerts.

Staff recently started posting the agendas of committee meetings to the district’s website, Superintendent Dan Oest said. In the past, only full board meeting agendas were posted, and committee agendas were posted on the door of the school.

The meetings are not regularly scheduled, he added.

They’re based off the schedules of committee members, and meetings occur as needed.

The board also discussed livestreaming the meetings or posting videos of the meetings to the website afterward.

Crews were called to the 3700 block of West Young Street around 8 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a structure fire, according to a news release.

Initial responders arrived to find a vehicle on fire inside a garage in that area.

A McHenry police officer was able to extinguish the fire before it spread to the inside of the garage.

Firefighters then relocated the car onto the driveway and cleared the area.

The fire was accidental, caused by a person inside the garage

who was using a grinder too close to gasoline while working on the vehicle’s motor, the release states.

No one was injured.

Damage to the vehicle was estimated at less than $5,000.

CRYSTAL LAKE: MAINTENANCE FUNDING

CL, county work on deal to beautify Walkup wall

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – An even split did not come across as an even compromise for Crystal Lake City Council members looking to McHenry County officials to help fund beautifying efforts on the concrete wall along Walkup Road.

County officials notified the City Council they would split the cost of an engineered stone veneer 50-50 if the city covered the entire cost of fu-

“I’m really not comfortable locking in to maintaining the wall forever. Maybe we’ll end up at 50-50, but we should at least try for a better deal.”

Cathy Ferguson, Crystal Lake councilwoman ture maintenance. Trustees said the county should pick up more of the cost for the installation of the veneer in part because the city never wanted the wall.

The 466-foot-long wall adjacent to Veteran Acres Park

was part of a joint project among the city, county and state that included road widening and construction of a bike path, which necessitated the retaining wall because of the grade difference between the park and Walkup Road.

“Can you tell me one good reason we would take care of this wall in perpetuity?” Councilwoman Ellen Mueller asked her colleagues. “I just can’t see any reason that I would want to take on that cost.”

City Council members proposed the addition of a decorative stone veneer to beautify the object that took away the view of Veteran Acres Park for some residents. The proposed veneer would include materials that prevent moisture from penetrating the wall

McHENRY: McBARK PARK

and make it easier to clean graffiti to minimize maintenance costs.

But as the county waits for estimates on veneer installation from its contractor, Councilwoman Cathy Ferguson said the city should try to negotiate better terms.

“I’m really not comfortable locking in to maintaining the wall forever,” she said. “Maybe we’ll end up at 50-50, but we should at least try for a better deal.”

With no requirement to

add aesthetic enhancements, Councilman Cameron Hubbard said this might be the best deal the city will receive.

The county agreed to cover maintenance costs of the bike path on Walkup Road in a previous intergovernmental agreement.

“They’re willing to step up and do something here,” Hubbard said. “If this is going to be their final offer – and I would have to see final pricing – I would be willing to go down this road.”

McHenry dog park’s opening delayed Garden club hosts

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – McHenry dogs will have to wait a bit longer for their park.

City staff had hoped to have the new dog park open by now, but the grass did not establish as planned, so the 4-acre park was reseeded, Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson said.

A date hasn’t been set for the opening, but the park –

located off Route 31 on an Illinois Department of Transportation right of way – has received a name, according to a news release.

McBark Park, submitted

by Sharon Gugala and Patricia Cychner, was chosen from the 150-plus entries proposed as part of the “Name the Dog Park” contest. Besides naming rights, Gugala and Cychner also received a one-year pass to the park.

The park includes off-leash

running areas for dogs, 3.7 acres for large dogs and about 0.3 acres for small dogs, as well as an area for shade and a water fountain.

On-site parking was provided through an agreement with Kohl’s. Users can park north of the store in its parking lot in the McHenry Town Center, 2450 N. Richmond Road.

It will be open from 7 a.m. to dusk year-round.

To use the park, dog own-

ers will need to buy an annual pass.

The cost is $75 a year for residents and $125 a year for nonresidents. Rates will be pro-rated once the opening date is set.

Dog owners will need to submit proof of residency to get the resident rate, proof of the pet’s age or rescue date and proof of rabies and distemper vaccinations from a veterinarian’s office and the pet’s county tag number.

Details will come with board’s final report • BLESS Continued from page B1 only driving in his duties as a County Board member, but also getting reimbursed by county taxpayers for mileage.

“The evidence clearly demonstrates that the respondent lied to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Office of Professional Review so as to continue looting Cook County taxpayers by continuing to receive temporary disability checks from the Insurance Fund while getting paid as an attorney and while getting

paid as a McHenry County Commissioner,” the merit board wrote.

Bless was elected as a Republican in 2008 to represent County Board District 1, which then covered southern and eastern Algonquin Township. But voters in 2012 did not grant him a second term.

Bless’ firing is retroactive to October 2011, when Sheriff Tom Dart’s office filed its complaint against Bless. He subsequently had been stripped of his police powers and placed on administrative duties since at least last year. The merit board heard his case between

November and January.

His firing also comes as he awaits action to be taken against his law license for an unrelated incident.

The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission Hearing Board ruled last month that Bless engaged in professional misconduct relating to a 2010 complaint against his law license.

The four-count complaint alleges that Bless inappropriately had a sexual relationship with a client he was representing, borrowed money from her and entered into business deals with her, and tried to in-

fluence her as a witness and tried to mislead ARDC investigators.

What rules Bless allegedly broke – and what sanctions the hearing board recommends against his law license – will not be revealed until the board releases its final report. That report goes to the Illinois Supreme Court, which is the licensing authority for lawyers.

Sanctions range from censure to disbarment. Bless, who has been licensed to practice in Illinois since May 2004, has had no previous action taken against his license, according to state records.

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Public Library invites patrons of all ages to register for an “EPIC Celebration” this summer as the library celebrates 100 years of service and kicks off its Summer Reading Program.

Early registration begins Tuesday. The program runs from June 10 through Aug. 3.

Registration is free to anyone with a Crystal Lake Public Library card, and all ages can earn prizes for reading books, ebooks or listening to audio books.

This year, in addition to receiving prizes and giveaways, participants will earn tickets to the “EPIC Celebration Event” on Aug. 24.

Program participants can use tickets for activities such as carnival games, mini golf, a photo booth, a slide, an obstacle course, an inflatable rock wall and more.

Village staff considering proposed parameters • CARY Continued from page B1 planning study on Maplewood School, which is expected to cost $38,000 and would be performed by Houseal Lavigne Associates if approved. The village wants the school district to pay for half of the cost after the property is sold.

The district would contribute if the district and a potential developer are involved in the process, the study is done in 45 days, the property sells within six months of the study being completed for what the study revealed, and that the property sells for at least $2.2 million, which is the minimum asking price set by the district.

“It’s prudent for municipalities to go through a process like this and determine what the highest and best use would be for the village, taking into consideration all factors: the property owner, surrounding properties, impact on the village.”

Chris Stilling Director of Community and Economic Development rameters, Clark said.

Director of Community and Economic Development Chris Stilling said the study was proposed because Maplewood is a

large piece of property close to the downtown area.

The comprehensive plan calls for the area to have some sort of institutional use, such as a school.

“We’re looking at a site that is not greenfield,” Stilling said.

“We’re getting requests to develop a parcel that hadn’t been identified for redevelopment through our planning documents. It’s prudent for municipalities to go through a process like this and determine what the highest and best use would be for the village, taking into consideration all factors: the property owner, surrounding properties, impact on the village.”

In other action, the village approved a resurfacing project for Fox Trails Terrace.

The project is expected to cost $37,900 and will extend from

Fox Trails North to Fox Trails South.

About 750 feet of road surface will be removed and replaced by Chicagoland Paving, based in Lake Zurich.

“The subdivision is relatively new and the asphalt surface course has not met rideability standards, which has led to premature cracking,” according to a staff memo to the Village Board. “The surface course did not pass inspection on two separate occasions.”

Village staff members notified the developer of the road’s problems, and gave the developer ample time to correct the problem, according to village documents. After no work was done to correct the problem, the village decided to resurface the road with money from the developer’s maintenance bond.

The EPIC Celebration Event also will feature special guest Rob Elgas, Crystal Lake Strikers, Clef Hangers Barbershop Quartet and other entertainers.

Everyone who registers

by June 10 earns a chance to win a party gift basket including a $50 gift certificate to Culvers and a $50 gift certificate to Nick’s Pizza.

Industrial users could find project attractive • WASTEWATER Continued from page B1 “There are a lot of industrial users that would find the additional pumping ca-

pacity attractive,” Coggin said. “Most communities don’t have the availability of extra capacity. You will end with something that is very valuable with the old plant that is there.”

Eight years I am graced by the King, the almighty One; When most of my life I denied my faith and His chosen One. Now I think about all the great men who influenced me, From a young farm boy to the proud man I came to be.

Then there’s Jimmy, Dad, my hero – the first great “JP”, Who loves his sons more than life, my brother Chuck and me.

You might think of me once, and curse me twice (or more); Maybe remember the times you wanted to show me to the door.

But for all of you who watched over me someway, somehow; As you did for me then, I do for you now.

I left this world with everything in place, If only you could see the proud smile on my face!

Carry on and keep telling the stories, as you often do; This is me saying “Happy Father’s Day”, and a heaven sent “Thank you!”

Fanning, Hallie Simons and Jordan Reitz led Prairie Ridge’s defensive effort, holding Rosary to four shots on goal. Fanning was told by Wolves coach J.C. Brown to mark Rosary’s best player, forward Quincy Kellett, and Fanning held Kellett to one shot.

Brown said his defense communicates well, and Fanning said the unit has learned to play together throughout the season.

Urlacher now, forever a Bear My enduring image of Brian Urlacher probably is different than most.

I think of Urlacher holding an ice cream sandwich in one of his paws as he exits the cafeteria during training camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais.

He’s wearing gym shorts and a T-shirt – a Nike T-shirt, almost always – and he’s enjoying a brief break before meetings and practice.

Once the ice cream sandwich has vanished, Urlacher licks chocolate off his fingers.

VIEWS Tom Musick announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons, 182 games, eight Pro Bowls, 22 interceptions, 41½ sacks, 1,779 tackles and millions upon millions of Bears fans who always will be grateful for his excellence.

“It was an honor to play my entire career for the Chicago Bears,” Urlacher said on Twitter, where he broke the news of his retirement.

It was an honor to watch that career.

It’s bittersweet any time a great player in any sport says goodbye, and Urlacher

clearly is one of the all-time greats. But his decision to retire instead of latch on with another team represents the best-case scenario for him, the Bears and die-hard supporters of both.

None of us really wanted to see Urlacher, who turns 35 Saturday, wear another team’s jersey. Sure, he could have signed a one-year deal with some other organization to try to extend his career, but injuries to his knees, calf, back, neck, wrist and so on had taken their toll.

Urlacher seemed to acknowledge this in a written statement along with his announcement.

Steady on Point’s Ott specializes in Brittanies

By STEVE SARLEY sportsdesk@nwherald.com Ask any hunter what the best dog is for hunting and you’ll receive a wide assortment of answers.

Ask two hunters that question at the same time and you will likely start an argument.

Pointer or flusher? Labrador, Chesapeake, springer spaniel, German shorthair, coonhound?

Ask Alan Ott, local dog expert, and he’ll quickly tell you his choice is the Brittany.

The Brittany is a fine breed, whether for hunting or as a family pet. They are smart and loyal. Sometimes they are called “Brittany retriever” or “Brittany spaniel,” but neither name is correct. The Brittany is not a spaniel, and it is a pointer breed rather than a retriever breed.

Ott specializes in the training and breeding of Brittanies and is the owner of Steady on Point in Woodstock. Ott lives between Woodstock and Marengo with Sandy, his wife and partner in the business he

started in 2001.

Ott has been a hunter and a dog trainer for most of his life. He grew up in Texas and did a lot of quail hunting with his dad and a number of older men. The hunters owned German shorthairs and always talked about how bad their dogs hunted.

“What I quickly learned at a young age was that the dogs weren’t the problem,” Ott said. “The guys were too hard on their animals and the dogs just weren’t having any fun.”

Ott claims he learned how to think like a dog. He has quite a reputation for his method of canine psychology.

He has veterinarians and even other dog trainers referring dogs to him that have specialized behavior problems.

One of Ott’s main theories is that an owner shouldn’t force a dog to do things. The owner needs to let the dog learn to want to do things.

He says he can bring out the driving desire for a dog to do things, and then he “puts a steering wheel on the animal.” A forced dog will shut

down and not cooperate.

The key to Ott’s success is creating situations to have the dog begin to think the way Ott wants it to and then give him the reaction Ott is seeking.

Steady on Point can train any breed to hunt. He says even cocker spaniels, poodles and Irish setters were once considered great hunters but now are bred mainly for companionship.

“The perfect hunting dog has drive, desire, trainability and intelligence,” Ott said.

“The perfect pet has a good disposition and temperament.

There is a difference.”

Spot on Point’s basic training program takes eight weeks, and Ott takes the dog in for the entire time. Specialized corrections can be done with single-day sessions.

Ott is writing a book he hopes to have published in 2014: “Soft Hands and a Gentle Voice.”

The Heat’s Chris Bosh screams during overtime Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers in Miami. The Heat won, 103-102.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, GAME 1: HEAT 103, PACERS 102

James rescues Illinois company rules Heat at buzzer market for tackle boxes • For more information on Alan Ott and Steady on Point, visit steadyonpoint.com.

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

I have always been a big supporter of purchasing American-made products. If I can get them and they are also made in Illinois, that is a big plus in my book.

I am happy to have learned that four out of every five tackle boxes sold today are made by the Plano Molding Company. I am proud to say that these boxes are made right here in our state.

I recently had the opportunity to go out to Plano for a tour given by Randy Lemcke, Plano’s VP of sales.

Plano is about 60 miles west of Chicago. It is a tiny, old-fashioned town that is where the new Superman movie, “Man of Steel” was filmed. It serves as Superman’s boyhood home of Smallville, and it certainly fits the part.

Plano began making tackle boxes in 1952. They have grown over the years and now have two manufacturing facilities in Plano and one a little further west in Mendota.

Plano has expanded to include gun and ammo storage products, hardware boxes, plastic shelving, cosmetics storage and other products.

The newest plant in Plano has a field full of giant silos standing outside that hold the tiny polypropylene pellets that are melted into the plastic that becomes tackle boxes and such. Railroad cars filled with these pellets constantly move in and out of Plano’s rail sidings.

The inside of the building

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley is filled with the latest in molding equipment, packaging lines and conveyors that move everything around the facility. Basically, the pellets get melted down, the color is added, and then the plastic is forced into massive molds, then removed and cooled.

The parts are then assembled and packaged before being shipped to locations around the world, I was pleased to see that in addition to all of the magnificent machinery, there was plenty of manual work performed by a lot of American workers. The workers mostly wore big smiles. I’m still not sure if the smiles were caused by how well Plano treats its people or that the plant is completely air conditioned and it was a 90-degree day.

Plano makes almost every component that goes into its tackle boxes and other products. Plano bends metal to form locks and hinges and even makes the pins that hold the hinges together. The quality control processes used is rigid. The company gets few returns, and outdoorsmen always rave about the quality of Plano’s products.

In this age of world marketing and outsourcing, I am sure Plano would be able to have its boxes made overseas and make a lot more

while paying out much less in wages and benefits to its workers. That’s not the way Plano thinks.

Rather than penalize its workers, Plano worked to drive out costs in production and made a conscious decision to earn less profit, rather than lose control over its products and sacrifice quality and hurt its reputation. I salute the company for that.

I’ve always been a fan of Plano’s products, now I am happy to say that I am proud to own these products because they are made in the good old U.S.A., and right here in Illinois, to boot.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “Bass are on the beds and fishing is great! Yamamoto Senkos hooked wacky style will work well for bass. If you want to have a fun day it is a great time to use a Bang-O-Lure.

Work this in the shallows with very small twitches and then pause the bait and wait for the hit. Make sure you let them take the bait down before setting the hook.

Catfishing on the Fox River is very good right now. Use cut bait on the bottom with an egg weight. Bluegills are also up on the beds and can be caught on wax worms or red worms on a small hook or ice fishing jig.”

Next stop for Urlacher is Canton • MUSICK Continued from page C1 “Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards,” said Urlacher, who joined the Bears in 2000 as a rookie from New Mexico.

“When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13-year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.

“I want to thank all of the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I will miss my teammates, my coaches, and the great Bears fans. I’m proud to say that I gave all of you everything I had every time I took the field.

I will miss this great game, but I leave it with no regrets.”

That’s how it should be.

The next stop for Urlacher is the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, where he will be eligible for induc-

Brian Urlacher (back) and the Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams share a laugh in 2012. tion as part of the Class of 2018. Although the Bears lead all teams with 27 Hall of Famers, it’s hard to imagine any of the franchise’s icons drawing a larger crowd than Urlacher.

Imagine a 386-mile parade route packed with football fanatics wearing orange and

blue. That’s what the trek from Soldier Field to the Hall of Fame will resemble five years from now.

During the hours after Urlacher’s retirement announcement, tributes to No. 54 poured in from teammates, opponents, analysts and fans.

One in particular caught my attention.

It was a message from the official Twitter account of the Arizona Cardinals.

“You were who we thought you were,” the Cardinals said with a wink to the Bears’ unforgettable Monday night comeback, starring Urlacher, on Oct. 16, 2006. “Congrats.”

So let’s all grab an ice cream sandwich and salute the best linebacker in Bears history.

It’s OK to lick your fingers.

MIAMI – LeBron James made a layup as time expired in overtime, and the Miami Heat found a way to beat the Indiana Pacers, 103-102, in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.

James finished with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Heat – his ninth postseason triple-double, and barely anyone noticed. All that mattered was the last shot, which simply saved the Heat.

Paul George made three free throws with 2.2 seconds left in the overtime, which he forced with a miracle 3-pointer, to give the Pacers the lead. But James – with Indiana shot-blocking center Roy Hibbert curiously on the bench – just drove down the left side of the lane, scored with ease and the Heat escaped.

Game 2 is Friday night in Miami.

Officials reviewed James’ play at the end, though it was clear he beat the clock, and the Pacers walked slowly toward their locker room, lamenting one that got away – by no fault of George’s.

George was fouled by Dwyane Wade on the play where the Pacers had to think they had stolen the series opener.

George saved the Pacers in regulation with a 32-footer with 0.7 seconds left in regulation that tied the game, and tried a shot from a similar distance as time was expiring in the extra session.

Referee Jason Phillips said Wade hit George, and the Pacers’ star made all three free throws for the 16th lead change of the night.

The final lead change came moments later, and Miami survived a game that had 18 ties and neither team ever leading by more than seven points.

Wade scored 19 points, Chris Bosh had 17 and Chris Andersen had 16 on 7 for 7 shooting for Miami.

George scored 27 for the Pacers, who got 26 from David West, 19 from Hibbert.

The Pacers have won only two series in franchise history after dropping a Game 1.

The final few seconds of regulation were stunning, with Ray Allen – the sixthbest free-throw shooter in NBA history – missing one that proved big, and George making a miracle happen.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – NASCAR honored a pair of its most famous and successful families with selections for the Hall of Fame on Wednesday.

Past champion Dale Jarrett will join father Ned in the hall, and master mechanic Maurice “Chief” Petty became the fourth member of one of NASCAR’s most royal families to be selected for enshrinement.

Maurice joins older brother “King” Richard Petty; their father, championship driver Lee Petty; and cousin Dale Inman, Richard’s longtime crew chief in the hall.

Tim Flock, a two-time premier series champion, also was selected along with Jack Ingram, who drove to success on what became NASCAR’s Nationwide Series; and Fireball Roberts, the flashy showman from the 1950s who raced to 33 victories before his death in 1964.

The group will be inducted into the hall during ceremonies in January.

Penguins rout Senators, take 3-1 series lead OTTAWA – Jarome Iginla and James Neal each scored twice, and the Pittsburgh Penguins routed the Ottawa Senators, 7-3, on Wednesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, and Tomas Vokoun made 30 saves. Down 2-1 after the first period, the Penguins scored twice in a 40-second span early in the second and added four goals in the first 10 minutes in the third.

Senators goalie Craig Anderson was benched after Pittsburgh’s sixth goal, and Robin Lehner finished the game.

Game 5 is Friday night in Pittsburgh.

Krzyzewski will return to U.S. men’s team Mike Krzyzewski had decided to remain coach of the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team.

Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference to confirm his return Thursday at Duke, the person told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.

BASEBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL

McHenry knocks out top-seeded Grant

By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Andrew Reisinger didn’t look right away. The McHenry pitcher had confidence.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, holding onto a one-run lead, Warriors center fielder Adam Mattson laid out to his right to make a diving catch that likely changed the game.

Grant’s Tyler Gorski’s one-out drive with the bases empty looked headed for at least a double.

Instead, Mattson came out of his dive with the ball, holding his glove in the air as Gorski continued to

trot toward second base in a somewhat uncertain fashion. It was the beginning of the end in McHenry’s 1-0 win over top-seeded Grant in the semifinals of the Class 4A McHenry Regional.

Mattson said he was confident in making the catch and riding “the emotion of the game.”

“He’s going to run down any ball,” McHenry sophomore left fielder Jack Glosson said.

The Warriors (23-14) got out of two-base-runner jams four times.

They completed three double plays and endured a two-error first inning.

After the first, they got together

Saturday’s championship (4) McHenry vs. Prairie Ridge/Grayslake North winner, 4:30 p.m. in the dugout and decided to move on as fast as they could. It worked as Reisinger threw a 99-pitch complete game while striking out six, hitting

three batters and allowing four hits.

“We played awesome defensively after [the first],” Reisinger said. “(With runners on) I’m thinking jam him and get the double play, and that’s what happened. Not throwing a lot of strikeouts, that’s a credit to them because they made all the plays.”

The Warriors willed their way to their only run in the fourth on a pair of bloop singles from Cody Freund and Jordan Witbeck and an RBI single down the line from Glosson.

Freund had McHenry’s first hit of the game in the first inning on a bunt to the left side, and Glosson got

the Warriors’ final hit with a single in the seventh. Both finished 2 for 3 as Grant’s Jake Trumpis and Simeon Lucas combined to allow five hits.

“That pitcher was hitting his spots, and we did what we could do to get the bat on the ball,” Glosson said.

The Warriors, unhappily seeded fourth, will face the winner of Thursday’s 7 p.m. Prairie Ridge and Grayslake North matchup in Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. regional final.

“We knew we were capable of getting a higher seed,” Reisinger said.

“As you could see, we didn’t let that faze us.”

Romine lifts Thunder to first softball playoff win

Jacobs hopes for dry start

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock North shortstop Bria Romine is one of the top players on her team, but coach Kristin Holzbauer kept telling the senior she wanted to see more.

“Bria is a dynamite player,” Holzbauer said. “I’ve been begging of her to push just a little bit more because I think there is still some untapped potential in there, and today she proved me right.”

Romine had a big day at the plate and an even better day in the field.

Her contributions helped the Thunder (7-16) to their first regional win in program history, as the third-seeded Thunder defeated second-seeded Harvard, 13-3, in the Class 3A Woodstock North Regional semifinals Wednesday.

The win advances the Thunder to Saturday’s regional final against top-seeded Wauconda.

Woodstock North struck first in the top half of the first inning. The first two hitters were retired on pop outs before Paige Busch reached safely on a single and scored when Romine hit a double to left field.

Harvard (6-15) answered in the bottom half with three runs with help from the Thunder. Pitcher Rebecca Einspahr allowed three walks, and the defense committed two errors in the first. When the Thunder got out of the inning, Holzbauer held a huddle outside the dugout and calmed the nerves.

“It was just a matter of us focusing more,” Holzbauer said. “When you’re pushed to the limit and your backs are against the wall you make a conscious decision to step up and play that much better or to continue playing the way you’re doing.

“They didn’t want to be done yet.”

The Thunder bounced back in the top of the second with four runs to take a 5-3 lead. Einspahr, with the help of a detailed scouting report from Holzbauer on the Hornets hitters, zeroed in on key spots she wanted to exploit and allowed just two hits and three unearned runs with three strikeouts.

The Hornets easily could have had at least five hits, but Romine’s defense often left hitters shaking their heads as they returned to the dugout. Multiple times she dived in the hole at short and threw out runners, and other times she charged slowly hit balls and used her strong arm to record tough outs.

“Bria made some wonderful plays at short,” Harvard coach Rick Cartwright said. “She was definitely on.

If I had to give an MVP award, it would’ve been to her for sure.”

At the plate, Romine went 2 for 3 with two doubles and an RBI while drawing two walks off Harvard pitcher Randi Blazier.

“I thought to myself, ‘You have to play it like your last,’ and I tried to play with as much heart as I could,” Romine said.

The Thunder offense scored in each inning and looked like a team ready to build off the dominant win.

“No regrets. That was our motto today,” Holzbauer said. “We’re fired up and ready to play [Wauconda].”

Prairie Ridge’s Cassie Warton is pulled to the ground Wednesday during the Class 2A Freeport Sectional semifinals in Freeport.

Prairie Ridge beat Rosary, 3-0.

PR can avenge last year’s sectional loss • SOCCER Continued from page C1 “We can all talk to each other. We can depend on each other,” Fanning said. “If the ball goes back, we know whoever goes back can go get it.”

After scoring early, the Wolves (16-2-1) added seven more shots on goal in the first half, but Brown said the team became too relaxed with a one-goal lead.

“They didn’t think they would score that soon, so they got a little too confident,” Brown said. “We re-

ally didn’t execuite our game plan that rest of that half.”

The Wolves responded to Brown’s halftime instructions, continuing to attack after scoring early. Erica Walsh scored two minutes into the second half for Prairie Ridge’s second goal, and the Wolves followed it minutes later with Rosary scoring an own goal.

Cassie Warton placed her corner kick right in the middle of the goal box, where it was knocked around before deflecting in off a Rosary defender.

“In the second half, we picked it up,” Fenton said. “We knew one goal was still shaky. We needed to put more in, not just that first goal in the beginning.”

Prairie Ridge faces Freeport, an 8-1 winner over Sycamore in Wednesday’s second semifinal, at 6 p.m. Friday in the sectional championship. After the Wolves lost to Freeport last season in a sectional final, Brown said the team is looking for redemption.

“Hopefully,” he said, “we come in with revenge.”

“But it’s never over. We had all of these kids I was talking to, and those guys down [along the fence] were all our alumni. We had so many alumni here.

“So the reality of it is you’re not playing here anymore, but you’re still a part of it.”

For proof, one needed to look no further than the opposing dugout, where Barrington coach Pat Wire managed his team to victory. As a three-sport athlete who graduated from C-G in 1996, Wire learned many lessons about baseball and life from Sutherland.

Wire struggled to describe what it meant to beat his alma mater on the field where he played.

“You have no idea,” Wire said.

“I’m emotional.

“They’re my family. I grew up down the road. It’s hard [to describe].

It’s just amazing.”

Morning showers prompted the game to be played at C-G rather than Jacobs, but the move created little home-field advantage for the Trojans as they struggled with errors and sun-soaked misplays in the second inning. Yet C-G erased a 4-0 deficit by scoring one run in the second, three in the third and one in the fourth to grab a 5-4 lead.

Trojans first baseman Dean Lee’s two-run double to the right-center field gap – his second double of the game – tied the score in the third.

The Broncos rallied to regain the lead in the fifth against Trojans starter Brandon McCumber on a walk, a single, a wild pitch and two run-scoring groundouts. Meanwhile, Barrington pitchers Wyatt Trautwein and Scott Nelson combined to hold the Trojans scoreless for the rest of the game.

Lee said he and his teammates fought to the end. Besides Lee, the Trojans received hits from Matt Ewert, Zach Marszal, McCumber, Daniel Vilardo and Matt Sutherland.

“We put our heart into every game that we play,” Lee said. “Sometimes, it doesn’t come out on the right side, but we still keep our heads up.”

After a 19-win season, it wasn’t easy for Sutherland to see his players leave the field.

Even more than the regular season, weather could have a big impact on the IHSA Boys Tennis State Finals beginning Thursday.

With rain predicted for Thursday, it will be tough to get in the scheduled three rounds in both the championship and consolation brackets.

If the tournament is forced to move indoors, the consolation bracket would likely be canceled. If history is any guide, however, the consolation bracket is pretty secure. Since at least 1997, the consolation bracket has been played in full.

Play begins Thursday at locations across the northwest suburbs, continues Friday with the championship matches Saturday.

Fourteen local players will play in their first state tournament. That group includes eight seniors and two freshmen. Overall, area teams qualified seven singles players and seven doubles teams by placing in the top four at the Cary-Grove and Elgin sectionals.

Playing both sides of the bracket is especially critical for Jacobs, which has two freshman singles qualifiers in Kailash Panchapakesan and Kendrick Chong. Golden Eagles coach Jim Benson said getting his young players as much state match experience as possible is important.

“It’s not looking good,” Benson said of the weather. “We need the back draw tomorrow.

The tournament could be over a lot quicker than we want it to be.”

Jacobs enters the state tournament on a high after winning the team title at the Elgin Sectional. Benson said it was the first boys tennis sectional championship in school history.

The Eagles fed off the emotions of their No. 1 doubles team of Brandon Sidor and Kingsley Bernardo, who won the doubles sectional title. Sidor is a firsttime state qualifier.

Losing in the title match at the Fox Valley Conference Tournament fired up Bernardo and Sidor for sectionals, where they lost just six games in their four matches.

“I’ve never seen them that pumped up,” Benson said. “[Sidor] was unstoppable; he was a freight train going down a mountain.”

At Cary-Grove, Marian Central’s Aaron Waters won the sectional singles title. The Wolves’ Bij Heydari and Brad Henning followed their FVC tournament win at No. 1 doubles with a sectional doubles title.

Waters will play Hampshire’s Elisha Hougland in the first round. Hougland took second at the Elgin Sectional. After reaching his goals of winning the Suburban Christian Conference and a sectional championship, Waters enters state with nothing to lose.

“I just hope to play my heart out,” Waters said. “I’ve got my goals for the season.”

CHICAGO – Clay Buchholz pitched five-hit ball over seven innings Wednesday night to improve to 7-0, and the Boston Red Sox beat the White Sox, 6-2, to avoid a three-game sweep.

David Ortiz delivered a two-run single in the first off Hector Santiago (1-3), and the Red Sox backed Buchholz with several neat defensive plays on the way to their sixth win in eight games.

Jonny Gomes made a sliding catch on Paul Konerko’s line drive to left with two on to end the first. Jacoby Ellsbury raced to the center-field warning track to snag Alexei Ramirez’s liner with a runner on and two out in the fifth to preserve a 2-1 lead.

Boston added to it in the eighth when Will Middlebrooks hit a sacrifice fly to right off Nate Jones after

the Red Sox loaded the bases against Brian Omogrosso in the eighth, and Mike Napoli scored on a passed ball by Tyler Flowers to make it 4-1. The Red Sox scored two more in the ninth to put this one away.

Buchholz allowed just one run while lowering his American League-leading ERA to 1.73. He also matched the best start by a Boston pitcher since Josh Beckett in 2007 and joined Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore and Arizona’s Patrick Corbin as the only unbeaten pitchers in the majors with seven or more wins.

The only run he allowed came on an RBI groundout in

MLB ROUNDUP

After Mattingly criticism, Dodgers defeat Brewers The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Dodgers manager Don Mattingly criticized his team and benched All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier, then watched Los Angeles beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 9-2, Wednesday.

Mattingly, in the third and final year of his contract, discussed his club’s lack of mental toughness and said he wanted a balanced team that has grit and fight. He benched Ethier for the third time in six games and said he was “putting out my lineup that I feel is going to be the most competitive and going to compete the hardest.”

Carl Crawford and Scott Van Slyke had two RBIs apiece and Ramon Hernandez hit his first home run with the Dodgers, who took two of three from the Brewers but remain in last place in the NL West. Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-2) allowed two runs and six hits in a season-high 7 1-3 innings.

Nationals 2, Giants 1 (10 inn.): At San Francisco, Ian Desmond singled in Bryce Harper in the 10th inning, helping Washington avoid a three-game series sweep.

Rockies 4, Diamondbacks 1: At Denver, Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in two runs, Jorge De La Rosa pitched effectively into the sixth and the Rockies took two of three from the Diamondbacks.

Reds 7, Mets 4: At New York, Brandon Phillips bounced a bizarre double over first base to snap a ninth-inning tie, and the Reds completed a threegame sweep.

Phillies 3, Marlins 0: At Miami, Cliff Lee pitched a

three-hitter for his 12th career shutout and Delmon Young homered for the second straight game for Philadelphia.

INTERLEAGUE Braves 8, Twins 3: At Atlanta, Evan Gattis kept up an amazing rookie season with his first grand slam, and Atlanta finished off a sweep of woeful Minnesota.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Blue Jays 4, Rays 3: At Toronto, Jose Bautista homered twice and drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single, leading Toronto to a victory over Tampa Bay. Bautista went 4 for 4 with a walk and four RBIs. Three other players had one hit, but that was it for Toronto’s offense.

Orioles 6, Yankees 3: At Balitmore, Chris Davis went 4 for 4, including his ALleading 14th homer, and Baltimore got a three-run shot from Matt Wieters in a victory over New York.

Rangers 3, Athletics 1: At Arlington, Texas, David Murphy and Adrian Beltre homered in a three-run first inning, Ross Wolf was strong in his first major league start and Texas avoided a sweep with a victory against Oakland.

Angels 7, Mariners 1: At Anaheim, Calif., C.J. Wilson struck out 10 in eight innings, Josh Hamilton had a two-run single and Los Angeles handed Seattle its season-worst sixth straight loss.

Astros 3, Royals 1: At Houston, J.D. Martinez hit a tworun homer off James Shields, Jordan Lyles pitched six effective innings and Houston beat Kansas City.

the third by Alex Rios, who also extended his career-high hitting streak to 17 with a single in the sixth.

The White Sox also got a solo homer from Paul Konerko off Andrew Bailey. Otherwise, the White Sox couldn’t get the big hit. They were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position after doing all their scoring with two outs while winning the previous two games 6-4 and 3-1.

Santiago wasn’t quite as dominant after Jose Quintana took a no-hitter into the seventh the previous night, but he gave the White Sox exactly what they needed.

He settled down after the shaky start and threw six solid innings for the White Sox with Chris Sale scratched because of mild tendinitis in his left shoulder. The left-hander allowed two runs and three hits, struck out nine and walked four pitching on three days’ rest in what might be his last start for a while.

PITTSBURGH – Jeff Samardzija remains confident th Cubs will score runs for him again, even if his manager isn’t so sure.

The right-hander allowed one run and three hits in seven dominant innings Wednesday night, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Cubs from losing, 1-0, to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“You take it with a grain of salt,” Samardzija said.

“That’s just the way the game goes sometimes. You give up five runs and get a win sometimes.”

Samardzija (2-6) struck out eight and walked just one while trimming his ERA to 3.25. The Cubs have scored just 10 runs in his six losses, including a pair of 1-0 defeats.

The Cubs are 6-12 in one-run games this season.

“Everybody is playing hard to try to win these games,” Samardzija said. “A play here, a play there; a hit here, a hit there and everything changes. It’s just a matter of some things starting to go our way and we’ll be fine.”

Manager Dale Sveum is a bit more impatient. The Cubs went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position and are hitting just .160 (4 for 25) with runners on second and third during their three-game losing streak.

“It’s the same old song and dance,” Sveum said. “We get people on but can’t get them in.”

Particularly against lefthanders such as Pittsburgh’s Francisco Liriano.

The Cubs are batting just .239 against lefties this season and produced just two hits during Liriano’s seven innings.

The Cubs’ best chance came in the third when it load-

Next for the Cubs Cubs at Pittsburgh, 11:35 a.m.

Thursday, CSN, AM-720 ed the bases with no outs. The threat ended with a fielder’s choice, a strikeout and a fly ball to right.

Liriano (3-0) didn’t give the Cubs another chance, striking out nine and walking one in seven innings before giving way to the bullpen.

Andrew McCutchen doubled twice for the Pirates and scored the game’s only run on an RBI single by Garrett Jones in the first. Pittsburgh has won 10 of 12 to move 10 games over .500 (28-18).

The Pirates agreed to terms with Liriano, a former All-Star, in December. A freak accident on Christmas Day in which he broke his right (nonthrowing) arm forced him to sign a more incentive-laden deal.

It’s certainly looking like a bargain now. Liriano has spent most of the past five seasons attempting to regain the form he showed as a 22-yearold phenom with the Minnesota Twins in 2006, when he went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA and made the All-Star team on his way to finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting.

His path to stardom was sidetracked by Tommy John surgery in 2007, though he appears to have found a home in Pittsburgh.

Mixing his offspeed stuff with a rejuvenated fastball refined by a tweak to his delivery, Liriano has joined A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez in giving the Pirates a respectable top of the rotation.

GOLF & FINE PRINT

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Garcia will pay for Tiger remarks Sergio Garcia could have stopped after he whined about fans of Tiger Woods making too much noise on the golf course. He should have stopped after saying Woods is not a nice person who has been lying to the media since the first time he stepped into an interview room.

That he didn’t close his mouth may end up to be Garcia’s biggest regret in a career already chock full of them.

“The problem is, I’m one of the guys that has to say something,” Garcia said the other day. “A lot of people think about it, but don’t want to say anything.”

OK, Sergio, you’ve had your say. Great line about the fried chicken, though I hate to tell you it’s already been used.

Now it’s time to shut up.

No need for further apologies like the one you made Wednesday about your attempt at a joke being totally stupid and out of place. Unlike you, we figured that out easily enough when Fuzzy Zoeller said it at the Masters 16 years ago, and it’s just as true today.

Just go away, somewhere where there’s not a microphone in sight.

Put away the sticks, and take the summer off.

Doesn’t matter much anyway because Woods is so far under your skin that there is no way you’re going to beat him in the U.S. Open, the British Open, or any other Open. Anyone needing further evidence should go looking for golf balls with the initials SG on them in the pond surrounding the 17th green at TPC Sawgrass.

Yes, this was all kind of funny up to a certain point. No one calls out Tiger Woods – at least on the golf course – and the thought of Woods and Garcia sniping at each other as the golf season heated up was an entertaining one.

The petulant child taking on the arrogant superstar. If nothing else, it was something to fill time while waiting to see if Woods was ever going to win another major championship.

Then Garcia upped the ante by making it real personal and really ugly. Regrets, sure he has some now, but the line in England about his dinner plans with Woods didn’t

VIEWS Tim Dahlberg come out of nowhere.

Black people and fried chicken, get it? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

My initial thought was that this could only happen in golf, an insular sport that has never been terribly welcoming to minorities.

Turns out, though, that there are soccer fields across Europe where people actually laugh at this kind of racist drivel.

But for it to happen twice in golf means the lessons of the past simply haven’t been learned. And for it to come from Garcia, who has spent his career unsuccessfully chasing Woods, shows both a stunning lack of maturity and a complete ignorance of how racial stereotypes can cause real pain.

To give Garcia some credit, he said he was sick to his stomach when he realized what came out of his mouth. Indeed, this was more stupid than it was racial, a juvenile attempt to upstage Woods for his continuing smugness about beating Garcia this month when Garcia self-destructed in the Players Championship.

That doesn’t make it right, but it does put it in context. This wasn’t Zoeller, a southerner who understood stereotypes well, and this isn’t 1997, when even fewer blacks played golf than play today and the PGA Tour was a lily-white affair.

There still aren’t any black players other than Woods competing at the highest level, but the tour is arguably more diversified with an infusion of Asian players since that time.

This is also not the same Tiger Woods, who famously left Zoeller hanging for weeks before responding to his efforts to apologize. This time Woods quickly got on Twitter to say the remark was hurtful and inappropriate but that he thought Garcia’s apology was an honest one.

“I’m confident that there is real regret the remark was made,” Woods said.

What Woods really thinks about

Garcia probably won’t be put on Twitter, though it’s been clear there has never been any love lost between the two men since they dueled in the 1999 PGA Championship and Garcia appeared to try to egg Woods on. Like Woods, Garcia was a teen superstar-in-waiting, but he’s never come close to fulfilling his promise as a rival to the great one, largely because his wandering mind tends to overwhelm his immense talent.

Just how fragile the Spaniard can be is not only reflected in his record, but his constant griping about the game that made him rich. When he lost the British Open in 2007 he said the golf gods just didn’t want him to win, and at the Masters last year he was so down in the dumps he said he would never win a major.

At the Players a few weeks ago he self-destructed when given a chance coming down the final holes with a chance to beat Woods.

Lately, he’s been self-destructing just thinking about Woods, who seems to torment him even when he goes to sleep at night.

Woods, for his part, seemed to welcome the feud, at least until Garcia stepped over the line. And it did add some spice to a vanilla tour.

Now we’ll just have to be satisfied listening to them blandly thank sponsors and volunteers as they cash million-dollar checks.

“Get over it, we’re out of junior high and high school,” tour player Tim Herron said. “Just go play golf.”

Not a bad idea, even if the advice comes a bit late for Garcia.

Though the head of the European Tour said he won’t be punished, Garcia will pay dearly for what he said.

He’ll forever have to be subservient to Woods, never again be able to say anything even remotely negative about his erstwhile rival.

And for Garcia that may be the worst punishment of all.

Money spent to keep kids from smoking is no bribe Dear Abby: I was surprised to see you equate a concerned grandmother’s creative solution to smoking with bribery in your Feb. 14 column. The word “bribe” has a negative connotation. What the grandmother did was offer an incentive, NOT a bribe, that will benefit her grandchildren in the long run. I think the woman should be congratulated.

Now for a disclaimer: When my daughter was 14, I came up with the same idea in the form of a wager. I bet her if she could resist peer pressure and not become a smoker by the time she was 21, I would buy her the dress of her dreams. To my delight, she won the bet. By then she was studying to become a marine biologist, so instead of a dress, the money went toward a wetsuit.

At 43, she’s still a nonsmoker, and she has made that same bet with her children. It’s the best money I ever spent. – Retired Clinical Social Worker Dear R.C.S.W.: Oh me, oh my, did I get clobbered for my response to that letter. Out of the hundreds of letters and emails received, only ONE person agreed with me. The rest were smokin’ mad. Read on: Dear Abby: In my many years as a school psychologist, I have counseled hundreds of parents and teachers about dealing with

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips behavioral issues in children.

I often make the distinction between a “bribe” and a “reward” by describing a bribe as something you give someone to do something dishonest, while a reward is given for doing something commendable. What she did was reward their good choice in not developing a potentially fatal habit. – Old-School

Psychologist Dear Abby: When you give someone money for something that has already been completed, it’s a paycheck and not a bribe. It was pointed out to me few of us would continue to go to work if we weren’t paid for it, and those grandchildren were being paid for “work” that was already completed. It’s an important distinction that may be helpful for parents and other adults to understand. –

Former School Principal Dear Abby: I disagree with your answer. What that grandmother did was REWARD her grandchildren, not bribe them. A lot of pressure is put on teens, and it takes considerable willpower and maturity to avoid some of these temptations.

At 16 or 17, it is hard for them to imagine being over 30, and none of them

can imagine being 60 or 70 with lung disease. Hooray for grandparents who can help them avoid adopting a life-threatening habit in any way they can. – Grandmother

In Iowa Dear Abby: I told my son I would give him $1,000 at age 21 if he didn’t smoke. It wasn’t bribery. It was a great tool to combat peer pressure.

Whenever he was offered a cigarette, he could simply say he had a better offer. Not only did it work, the other kids were envious. – Michigan

Mom Dear Abby: My pre-teen daughter was devastated when her maternal grandfather died from the effects of emphysema. In spite of it, she took up smoking in her teens.

We threatened her, grounded her, took away privileges, even tried guilt trips. Nothing worked. Her choice to smoke was influenced by her peer group.

I would have mortgaged our home, sold our possessions and borrowed money from the bank if I thought I could have altered her choice by bribing her. By the way, she has been diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells, but even this hasn’t been enough to cause her to quit. – Would

Have Done Anything • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Allergy to latex defies explanation Dear Dr. K: I’m a nurse who is allergic to latex, so I always use latex-free gloves.

But I still occasionally break out in hives. Why? Dear Reader: A product may claim to be “latex-free” or state that it “does not contain latex.” But the truth is no existing tests can show that a product is completely free from latex.

“Natural rubber latex” comes from the sap of the rubber tree. This material is used to make a host of stretchy products, including adhesive bandages, condoms, gloves used in health care and dishwashing, balloons, rubber bands, baby bottle nipples and more.

Natural rubber latex can cause an allergic reaction because it contains proteins that set off some people’s immune systems. A latex allergy usually happens in people with repeated exposure to natural rubber latex. That’s why they’re more common in health care workers and frequent surgical patients.

Hives or welts are a common allergic reaction to latex exposure. So are

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff swelling, a runny nose and sneezing; red, itchy or teary eyes; headache, sore throat, abdominal cramps; or chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath. Sometimes the reaction can cause anaphylactic shock, which can be deadly.

Not everyone who is latex-sensitive has hives or welts. Some people get contact dermatitis, consisting of a skin rash and itching that start one to several days after contact with a latex product. Over time and repeated exposure, contact dermatitis can cause dry, crusted scabs on the skin.

The big mystery with latex allergy – and most allergies, for that matter – is why it exists. It is our immune system that causes allergies. The immune system is supposed to protect us from dangerous foreign substances and microbes. But latex isn’t dangerous to us – nor

are many other things to which people have allergies, such as pollen, house dust or cat dander. Yet the immune system (or, at least, one part of it) overreacts and goes to war. In trying to protect us, it makes us sick.

Synthetic latex is an alternative to natural latex.

It doesn’t provoke allergies.

You can (and should) use gloves made from synthetic latex. But even that’s not a guarantee, because products made without natural latex can be contaminated with latex proteins during the manufacturing or packaging process.

Since latex is found in so many products, the best you can do is make smart choices based on information on product labels. Use gloves made from synthetic latex and avoid those made with natural rubber latex.

When you find a product that doesn’t provoke an allergic reaction, stick with it.

Jennifer Lopez to open cellphone stores

Ad agency sues over ‘Annoying Orange’

“Jenny from the Block” wants the block to buy Verizon phones from her.

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez says she’s opening a chain of cellphone stores and a website under the Viva Mobil brand. The aim is to sell Verizon phones and services to Latinos.

The first store will open in New York on June 15. Lopez says the stores will have bilingual staff and provide a “culturally relevant shopping experience.”

A North Dakota advertising agency is suing the creators of a Cartoon Network show, alleging that they copied a state marketing campaign.

H2M, a Fargo-based advertising and marketing agency, filed the lawsuit against Dane Boedigheimer and Spencer Grove in U.S. District Court in North Dakota on Monday.

Boedigheimer and Grove are the creators of the animated series “Annoying Orange.” H2M alleges Boedigheimer and Grove ripped off a copyrighted character called The Talking Orange that was created for television commercials for the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

Obama honors King

‘Idol’ winner album due in July Candice Glover spent more time on season 12 of “American Idol” than she will on creating her debut album.

The 23-year-old, who won the Fox singing series last week after competing for four months, is set to release “Music Speaks” on July 16.

Past “Idol” champs released their debut albums in the fall after winning the contest in the spring, but Glover said she’s ready to capitalize on the insta-fame “Idol” has given her.

“I’ve built a fan base being on this show, and my fan base is interested in me now and they won’t see me every Wednesday and Thursday anymore to admire my singing, so I think it’s a good thing it’s coming out this summer,” she said.

“It’s crazy that I’m even talking about an album because last year I was working at a resort,” she added, laughing.

“Music Speaks” was available on pre-order the day after she won the “Idol” crown, beating out country singer Kree Harrison. Glover’s debut single, the inspirational pop ballad “I Am Beautiful,” sold 48,000 tracks in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The St. Helena Island, S.C., native, who auditioned but didn’t make the cut in seasons nine and 11, said the “Idol” experience made her more confident.

She said taking risks on the show – like performing Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” and Drake’s “Find Your Love” – helped her find her true voice.

Glover said she was heading to Los Angeles this week to begin work on her album.

Blackhawks Gameday

Thursday, May 23, 2013 • Northwest Herald • NWHerald.com/blackhawks • #CHIvsDET

Game 4 Taking the temperature HOT BLACKHAWKS 1. Patrick Kane: Maybe it’s bad luck when Kane scores. The Hawks’ 24-year-old forward is the hottest player on the team with goals in each of the past two games, but the bad news is that no one else has scored a goal since Game 1.

2. Duncan Keith: Being a new father has not stopped Keith from producing in the playoffs. He had an assist and a plus-1 rating in his most recent outing.

3. Jonathan Toews: The Hawks’ captain has taken criticism for not scoring in the playoffs, but he hit the post in Game 3 and led the team with seven shots.

RED WINGS 1. Jimmy Howard: The Hawks took 40 shots Monday, and Howard stopped all but one. The Wings’ goaltender has posted a remarkable .950 save percentage in the series, including 58 saves on 60 shots since Game 1.

2. Pavel Datsyuk: The Wings’ playmaker is heating up with a goal in Game 3 to go along with important faceoff wins and aggressive forechecking.

3. Gustav Nyquist: Plenty of Wings players are hot, but we’ll give Nyquist the No. 3 spot after his goal and team-leading two takeaways in his last game.

AP photo

Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard stops a shot by Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews on Monday during Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals in Detroit. Game 4 is Thursday night in Detroit.

Game 4 will be ‘huge’ DETROIT – Wander from one dressing room stall to another, fight your way through the scrum of TV cameras and microphones, and the answers all tend to sound the same.

Oh, the words and the accents with which the sound bites are delivered from playoff-bearded mouths may vary. But regardless how responses are worded, the message coming from the Blackhawks is essentially identical.

Just in case you weren’t aware, Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals has a lot riding on it for the Hawks. Win, and the home-ice advantage that everyone makes such a big deal about swings back into the Hawks’ favor.

Win, and back-to-back losses to the Detroit Red Wings are forgotten and filed under “lessons learned” in what becomes a best-of-three series that returns to Chicago on Saturday night.

But lose Thursday at Joe Louis Arena, and, well, let’s just say things wouldn’t look good for a team that would have to settle for being the proud owners of the NHL’s President’s Trophy. And we all know Rahm Emanuel’s not going to pay for a Michigan Avenue ticker tape parade for that.

Suffice it to say, there’s plenty at stake.

“It’s going to be 2-2 or 3-1,” Hawks

VIEWS Jeff Arnold forward Marian Hossa told reporters Tuesday in Chicago. “That’s a huge difference.”

Hossa used “huge” twice in a matter of only four sentences, conveying a message that’s not exactly of the breaking news variety. There’s now urgency for a team that seemed to skate through the regular season relatively tension-free.

The pressure is now on a team that never lost three straight games during the regular season, but that – with a third straight loss to the Red Wings – would return to the United Center on the verge of being kindly escorted out of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Historians – well, sportswriters with too much time on their hands – point to 2010 when the Hawks trailed Nashville, 2-1, in the first round of the playoffs before reeling off four straight victories en route to capturing the Stanley Cup. Jonathan Toews remembers the Nashville series well. The key, the Hawks’ captain said, is to focus on not only taking one game at a time, but one shift at a time. Then Toews – who still

hasn’t scored a playoff goal in 2013 – uttered these words.

“We’ve been in worse situations than this.”

Well, not this year, but we get the message.

There is no panic in the Hawks’ dressing room and no one looking for sympathy. But there is resolve from a team that understands, like Hossa, that there is a world of difference between returning to Chicago with the series tied and being forced to win three straight games against Detroit, which is playing with the swagger the Hawks seemed to have all season.

So yeah, Thursday night’s Game 4 is ... OK, OK, you get the idea.

“You throw around terms like mustwin and all that – I think every game in the playoffs is a must-win,” Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said. “You can spin every game however you want. Every game is huge. You want to win every time you take the ice. Being down 2-1 in their building and obviously that game – Game 4 – is really big.”

Red Wings ready for Hawks’ best shot

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Jimmy Howard sat in front of his locker for nearly 25 minutes Wednesday morning, settling in as one of the reasons the Detroit Red Wings hold a 2-1 edge over the Blackhawks in the Western Conference semifinals.

After making 39 saves in Detroit’s Game 3 victory, Howard speaks with the kind of confidence and assurance enjoyed by playoff-tested goalkeepers.

But as good as he and his Red Wings teammates have been over the past two games, Howard understands the Hawks have plenty of incentive to start strong in Thursday night’s Game 4 at Joe

Louis Arena.

“We know they’re going to come out flying,” Howard said. “I know if it was me, that’s what I would do – I would probably have my best game in Game 4 so it’s g o i n g t o b e Niklas on us to focus Kronwall in that much more and go out here and get the job done.”

The Red Wings have neutralized a Hawks offense that was one of only six in the NHL to average at least three goals a game. Patrick Kane has accounted for both of the Hawks’ goals in the past two games after the Hawks scored four goals in a one-sided

Game 1 win.

Detroit’s penalty kill has been nearly flawless in the first three games of the series, allowing only one goal on the Hawks’ nine power play chances. Howard has played a key role in that success, but the Red Wings’ penalty killers have gotten into scoring lanes and have all but eliminated opportunities for the Hawks’ power play to get rolling.

“They’ve got so much talent and so much firepower up front and even on the back end there with (Duncan) Keith and (Brent) Seabrook and (Nick) Leddy – it doesn’t matter who it is, the list goes on,” Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said Wednesday. “So we just have to keep doing a good job of being in the lanes and leave them the

New Medical Breakthrough

outside.”

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock likes the way his defense has responded to handling the Hawks’ top scorers.

But the key to continuing to do that is limiting the opportunities and space scorers such as Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp have to create scoring chances. If they don’t, Babcock knows, it’s just a matter of time before the Hawks’ scoring punch returns.

“The last game, I thought we were good for two periods and then we stood around and watched [the Hawks] play in the third,” Babcock said. “We can’t play like that if we’re going to have success in Game 4.

We have to play a full 60 [minutes].”

COLD BLACKHAWKS 1. Andrew Shaw: It’s one thing to play with intensity in the postseason, but it’s another thing to cross the line into foolishness. Shaw will have to refocus one game after receiving 14 penalty minutes, including a 10-minute misconduct.

2. Brent Seabrook: We’re still waiting for 60 minutes of great play by Seabrook, although he did save a goal with nifty stick work in the series opener.

3. Corey Crawford: In his past two games, Crawford has given up seven goals. They’re not all his fault, but Crawford needs to bounce back in Game 4.

RED WINGS 1. Valtteri Filppula: Filppula was the only Wings player to earn a negative rating (minus-1) in Game 3, and he failed to register a shot on goal despite receiving almost 20 minutes of ice time.

2. Jonathan Ericsson: The Wings’ defenseman shared the team lead with three giveaways Monday, which surely caught the attention of Mike Babcock.

3. Daniel Cleary: The veteran winger has made little difference in the series, recording one assist to go along with fewer than two shots on goal a game.

Pick to click We apologize to White Sox play-by-play announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson for stealing his phrase. Then again, his nickname is Hawk, so hopefully he understands.

Blackhawks: Bryan Bickell The Hawks’ power play has sputtered against the Wings, which is a big reason the team finds itself in a 2-1 deficit entering Game 4. Bickell earned practice time with the top power-play unit this week and could thrive as a net-front presence.

Red Wings: Henrik Zetterberg Great players tend to step up in big situations, and Zetterberg will have an opportunity to do so in Game 4. The Wings will follow their talented captain’s lead as they try to gain a decisive 3-1 series edge against their longtime rivals.

Three stats to know 1. First things first: The Hawks have scored six goals and allowed three goals in the first period during the playoffs, while the Wings have scored eight goals and allowed six in the first period.

2. Second things second: The Hawks have scored six goals and allowed six goals in the second period, while the Wings have scored seven and allowed four.

3. Third things third: The Hawks have an 11-6 edge in the third period and overtime during the playoffs, while the Wings have an 11-17 deficit.

A Crystal Lake home is shown for sale in this file photo. Home sales in McHenry County totaled 407 last month, up 42.3 percent from 286 in April 2012.

Single-family home prices rise 4.9 pct.

County sales up 42 pct. from a year ago NORTHWEST HERALD Home sales in McHenry County totaled 407 last month, up 42.3 percent from 286 in April 2012, according to a market report released Wednesday by the Illinois Association of Realtors.

The median sales price for singlefamily homes increased 4.9 percent to $170,000, while condo prices fell 23.4 percent to $78,000 in April. The median price of all homes was up 2.7 percent compared to a year ago, $149.900 vs. $146,000 in 2012.

The inventory of all homes for sale dropped by 34.7 percent, from 2,957 to 1,931, while the days on market were down from 110 days in April 2012 to 94 days in 2013.

McHenry County home sales are up 35.4 percent for the first four months of 2013, Year-to-date, closed sales totaled 1,357 through April compared to 1002 through April 2012. The year-over-year median sales price of all homes was down 0.9 percent to $138,250.

The median price for all properties in Kane County was $151,950 in April, down 2 percent from $155,000 in 2012.

Year-over-year closed sales in Kane were up 30.6 percent, from 490 to 640.

The median price for all properties in Lake County was $188,125, up 16.1 percent from April 2012. Closed sales were up 48.7 percent, from 589 to 876.

Statewide, home sales increased 25.3 percent over previous-year levels in April and median prices increased 7.7 percent, according to the Illinois Association of Realtors.

Illinois home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in April 2013 totaled 12,621 homes sold, up from 10,076 in April 2012. This was the best April performance since 2007.

The statewide median price in April was $145,900, up 7.7 percent from April 2012 when the median price was $135,500. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less.

“The spring numbers are very encouraging, especially as we see substantial tightening of the numbers of homes on the market,” said Michael D. Oldenettel, president of the Illinois Association of Realtors and managing broker/owner with Re/Max Results Plus in Jacksonville. “While prices are inching up slightly due to strong demand, the interest rates continue to be a powerful lure for those who want to own a home and the spring housing market looks to be a strong one.”

The inventory of homes for sale in April was 62,503 units, a 30.6 percent drop compared to last year’s 90,041 units. The time it takes to sell a home has also fallen with days on market averaging 89 days in April, down 19.8 percent from 111 days in April 2012.

The monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central region was 3.42 percent in April 2013, down from 3.54 percent during the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. Last April it averaged 3.89 percent.

In the nine-county Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, home sales (single-family and condominiums) in April 2013 totaled 9,152 homes sold, up 31.2 percent from April 2012 sales of 6,977 homes.

The median price in April 2013 was $173,000 in the Chicago PMSA, up 8.1 percent from $160,000 in April 2012.

“The housing market is exhibiting signs of a more stable recovery with an anticipated strong early summer led by strong sales gains and more modest but still positive gains in median prices,” noted Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory of the University of Illinois. “Average time on the market, the growth in the pending sales index and an increase in the share of total sales captured by more expensive properties point to a return to greater stability in the market.”

Fifty-five of 102 Illinois counties reporting to IAR showed year-over-year home sales increases in April 2013.

Forty-two counties showed year-overyear median price increases including Knox, up 32.1 percent to $72,000; Grundy, up 15.7 percent to $155,000; Cook, up 11.9 percent to $172,900; and Madison, up 4.5 percent to $116,000.

The city of Chicago saw a 28.4 percent year-over-year home sales increase in April 2013 with 2,331 sales, up from 1,816 in April 2012. The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in April 2013 was $222,000 up 22 percent compared to April 2012 when it was $182,000.

U.S. home sales hit 3½-year high

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON– Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes ticked up last month to the highest level in three and a half years, helped by a jump in the number of houses for sale.

The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.97 million, up from 4.94 million in March.

Home sales have risen 9.7 percent in the past 12 months, evidence that the housing market is still improving. But sales have been roughly flat since November. The supply of available homes remains tight and many potential buyers aren’t able to get loans.

The number of homes for sale rose 12 percent in April from March to 2.16 million. But inventory is still almost 14 percent lower than a year earlier.

The increase in inventories partly reflects the beginning of the spring selling season. The supply of homes would be exhausted in 5.2 months at the current sales pace. That’s below the typical level of about six months.

More Americans are interested in purchasing homes: buyer traffic has risen 31 percent in the past year, the Realtors’ group said.

Rising demand and tight supply has pushed up prices. The median price of a home for sale jumped 11 percent last month from April 2012 to $192,800.

That’s the highest in nearly five years. The median is the figure halfway between the highest and lowest number.

Higher prices could encourage more people to sell homes, fueling further sales gains.

“Sellers want to sell in a rising market,” said Jonathan Basile, an economist at Credit Suisse. “When

NEW YORK – Stocks closed lower on news that several Federal Reserve policymakers favored cutting back on stimulus programs as early as June if the economy continues to improve.

The release of minutes of the Fed’s April 30-May 1 meeting reversed a surge earlier in the day.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 80 points to 15,307 Wednesday, a loss of 0.5 percent. It had risen 154 points after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress it was too early to cut back on the Fed’s bond-buying program.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 13 points to 1,655, or 0.8 percent. The Nasdaq composite fell 38 points to 3,463, or 1.1 percent.

Minutes of the Fed’s meeting showed that “a number” of members expressed a willingness to scale back the $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds the Fed has been purchasing, perhaps as soon as June, if the economy accelerates. The Fed next meets June 18-19.

Earlier in the day, Bernanke had told lawmakers it was too soon for the central bank to pull back on its stimulus programs. That sent stocks broadly higher.

The increase in prices partly reflects more sales of higher-priced homes. Sales of lower-priced homes are rising more slowly.

And sales of cheap foreclosed properties are falling. The proportion of distressed sales has fallen sharply in the past year, to 18 percent from 28 percent in April 2012. Distressed

sales include foreclosed homes and homes in which the size of the mortgage exceeds the home’s value.

But first-time buyers made up only 29 percent of sales last month, the lowest proportion in more than 2 years.

Bernanke signals Fed to maintain stimulus

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that the U.S. job market remains weak and that it is too soon for the Federal Reserve to end its extraordinary stimulus programs.

Reducing the Fed’s efforts to keep borrowing rates low would “carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery,” Bernanke said in testimony to the Joint Economic Committee, a panel that includes members of the House and Senate.

Bernanke noted that the economy is growing moderately this year and unemployment has fallen to a fouryear low of 7.5 percent. Still, unemployment remains well above levels consistent with healthy economies. And Bernanke said higher taxes and

deep federal spending cuts are expected to slow economic growth this year.

His comments about the many risks facing the economy, along with the benefits gained so far from the Fed’s stimulus, suggest the Fed is not ready to taper bond purchases that have helped lower long-term interest rates to encourage more borrowing and spending.

The Fed has said it plans to continue its $85 billiona-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases until the job market improves substantially. And after its April 30-May 1 meeting, the Fed said it could increase or decrease the pace depending on how the job market and inflation fare.

The panel’s chairman, Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, criticized the Fed’s aggressive policies and pressed Bernanke to explain when the Fed might

Bernanke told Congress the U.S. job market remains weak and that it is too soon for the Federal Reserve to end its extraordinary stimulus programs. begin to reduce its bond purchases.

Bernanke said the Fed

could take a “step down” if the job market shows “real and sustainable progress” over

the next few meetings. When Brady asked if that could happen before Labor Day, Bernanke said, “I don’t know, it will depend on the data.”

But Bernanke made clear that the Fed could reverse course and increase its purchases if the economy began to falter. “We could raise or lower our purchases going forward,” Bernanke said.

In recent months, the job market and the broader economy have shown renewed vigor. The economy has added an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November.

That’s up from only 138,000 a month in the previous six months.

The economy has benefited from a resurgent housing market, rising consumer confidence and the Fed’s stimulus actions, which have helped ignite a stock market rally. The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has jumped 17

percent this year to a record high. Higher stock prices tend to make many people feel wealthier and more inclined to spend.

Those gains, in part, are why critics of the bond purchases, including some Fed regional bank presidents, have questioned the need to continue them at their current pace. They argue that keeping interest rates too low for too long could send inflation surging or inflate dangerous bubbles in assets such as stocks or real estate.

Such a bubble could burst with the same destabilizing effects that the housing bust caused.

Bernanke has had solid support for the bond purchases among the voting members of the Fed’s interest-rate setting committee. At each of the Fed’s three policy meetings this year, the committee has approved the purchases 11-1.

Median CEO pay rises to $9.7 million in 2012

By CHRISTINA REXRODE AP Business Writer CEO pay has been going one direction for the past three years: up.

The head of a typical large public company made $9.7 million in 2012, a 6.5 percent increase from a year earlier that was aided by a rising stock market, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm.

CEO pay, which fell two years straight during the Great Recession but rose 24 percent in 2010 and 6 percent in 2011, has never been higher.

But the numbers don’t tell the whole story. After years of pressure from corporate governance activists unhappy about big payouts, many companies have revamped their compensation formulas. They have awarded a bigger chunk of compensation in stock to align pay more closely to performance, become more transparent about how compensation decisions are made and in some cases promised to claw back pay from fired executives.

Shareholder activists say the changes are a step in the right direction, yet they argue that CEO pay is too high and that there is still too much incentive to focus on short-term results.

The highest paid CEO was Leslie Moonves of CBS, who made $60.3 million. He beat the second-place finisher handily: David Zaslav of Discovery Communications, who made $49.9 million. Five of the 10 highest-paid CEOs were from the media and entertainment industry.

For the fourth year in five, health care CEOs received the highest median pay at $11.1 million, while utility CEOs had the lowest at $7.5 million.

The median value is the midpoint; half the CEOs in that group made more and half less.

The median pay for women CEOs was higher than it was for men — $11.2 million compared with $9.6 million — although only 3 percent of the companies analyzed were run by women. Irene Rosenfeld of Mondelez International, the snack giant that was spun off

The 10 highest-paid CEOs of 2012 It pays to be in TV. On the list of 10-best paid CEOs of 2012 – the exclusive club inside an already-exclusive club – half are in the entertainment and media industry, according to executive pay research firm Equilar.

The median pay for all CEOs in 2012 was $9.7 million.

Top 10 of 2012: 1. Leslie Moonves, CBS, $60.3 million, down 12 percent 2. David Zaslav, Discovery Communications, $49.9 million, down 5 percent 3. Bob Iger, Disney, $37.1 million, up 18 percent 4. Philippe Dauman, Viacom, $33.4 million, down 22 percent 5. John Donahoe, eBay, $29.7 million, up 81 percent 6. Brian Roberts, Comcast, $29.1 million, up 8 percent 7. Howard Schultz, Starbucks, $28.9 million, up 80 percent 8. Ken Chenault, American Express, $28 million, up 25 percent 9. Rex Tillerson, Exxon Mobil, $27.2 million, up 8 percent 10. Kent Thiry, DaVita HealthCare, $26.8 million, up 53 percent

from Kraft Foods last year, was the highest-paid female CEO, taking in $22 million.

The biggest changes in compensation last year came from stock, which increased 17.2 percent, and from stock options, which declined by 16 percent. Over the past five years, the amount of compensation that comes from stock has risen from 31.7 percent to 44.3 percent, while the amount from stock options has fallen from 31.9 percent to 17.6 percent. Shareholders tend to favor stock compensation because it can be tied to metrics like revenue and earnings, whereas the value of stock options depends only on the stock price.

Salary and perks rose last year, while bonuses fell. As a proportion of total pay, bonuses accounted for 23.8 percent, salary 10.4 percent and perks 3.8 percent.

The third straight year of rising pay coincided with an improving economy and an increase in corporate revenue, profits and stock prices.

The S&P 500 index rose 13.4

percent last year. The median profit increase at the companies in the Equilar study was 6.1 percent, and the median revenue gain was 7.6 percent.

Companies say they need to pay CEOs well so they can attract the best talent, and that this is ultimately in the interest of shareholders. But shareholder activists and some corporate governance experts say many CEOs are being paid far above what is reasonable or what their performance merits. Pay for all U.S. workers rose 1.6 percent last year – not enough to keep up with inflation. The median wage in the U.S. was about $39,900 in 2012, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Yet with the economy on steadier footing and the stock market surging, the debate over CEO pay is settling into more of a simmer than a boil.

Companies cut CEO pay in 2008 and 2009 amid investors’ white-hot anger over the losses they suffered during the financial crisis. Since 2011 they have been required by law to hold “say on pay” votes, which give shareholders the right to express whether they approve of the CEO’s pay. The vote is nonbinding, but companies don’t want to deal with the public embarrassment of a “no.”

Companies say they are listening to their shareholders’ concerns. They point to changes in how CEOs are rewarded that are meant to tie pay more closely to company performance. For example, they’re more often linking stock awards to revenue, earnings and share price targets, rather than just handing them out automatically.

“I’ve never seen an environment where boards take more time trying to get this right,” says Charlie Tharp, CEO of the Center on Executive Compensation, an advocacy group that supports corporations.

Pay is up partly because a bigger proportion is coming from stock, and stock markets are hitting all-time highs. But it’s a two-way street: If stock markets decline, pay could decline or at least grow more slowly in future years.

But changing the pay structure has hardly silenced

Moonves, who made $60.3 million, was the highest paid CEO in 2012. the critics. They say formulas for stock awards, for example, can drive CEOs to focus on short-term results. And they’re anxious for the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement a rule required under the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that would force big public companies to disclose the ratio of their CEOs’ pay compared with the median pay for their entire workforce.

“If you’re making $10 million a year, you get into a situation where life isn’t real anymore,” says Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of the Corporate Governance Alliance, which advises boards.

Charles Elson, a wellknown shareholder rights expert who is director at the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, has been crusading for companies to stop compensating their CEOs based on what their peers at similar companies are making.

The trouble with peer groups, Elson says, is that a CEO could have a terrible year, “but if my peer’s pay goes up, my pay will too.”

To calculate pay, Equilar looked at salary, bonus, perks, the potential future value of stock awards and option awards, and other pay that companies have to report for their top executives in regulatory filings each year. This year’s study examined pay for 323 CEOs at S&P 500 com-

panies that had filed their shareholder proxies by April 30. The sample includes only CEOs in place for at least two years.

Sixty percent of CEOs received a raise, 37 percent got a pay cut and the rest had pay that was virtually flat.

Some other findings from AP’s analysis of the Equilar data: • MONEY IN THE BANK: Among the six U.S. megabanks, Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf knocked off JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon for the title of best-paid banker.

Stumpf’s pay grew 8 percent to $19.3 million. Dimon’s board of directors slashed his pay after a surprise trading loss at the bank that has led to regulatory investigations and congressional hearings.

Dimon’s pay declined 19 percent to $18.7 million.

• TV NATION: If CEO pay says anything about what our country values, then we like coffee and online shopping but love TV. In addition to Moonves and Zaslav taking the No. 1 and 2 spots, Bob Iger of Disney ($37.1 million) was No. 3; Philippe Dauman of Viacom, which owns MTV ($33.4 million) was No. 4; and Brian Roberts of Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal ($29.1 million) was No. 6.

The rest in the top 10 included No. 5 John Donahoe of eBay, who made $29.7 million, and No. 7 Howard Schultz of Starbucks, who made $28.9 million. Behind them were

Ken Chenault of American Express ($28 million), Rex Tillerson of Exxon Mobil ($27.2 million), and Kent Thiry of DaVita HealthCare ($26.8 million). CEOs of financial companies used to dominate the Top 10 list, but Chenault’s appearance marked the first time since 2008 that a CEO from the industry made the list.

• POWER AND PERKS: Wynn Resorts kept a suite at its tony Las Vegas resort constantly open for founder and CEO Steve Wynn, a perk valued at $452,000. IBM, upon the retirement of CEO Samuel Palmisano, let him keep an office and renovated it for $1 million. Constellation Brands, maker of Corona Light beer and Paul Masson brandy, gave CEO Robert Sands a “product allowance” of up to $10,000 for fiscal 2012, though he used only $5,532.

• THE SHAREHOLDER REVOLUTION?: So far this year, only seven U.S. companies have had shareholders vote down their executive pay packages, according to proxy adviser Glass Lewis, and none are in the S&P 500. That compares with 56 companies last year.

Even that number was tiny in relative terms — because it came from a sample of 2,100 companies. Some high-profile companies that lost their “say on pay” votes last year, including Citigroup, Big Lots and Chesapeake Energy, have gotten new CEOs since then.

Busy U.S. auto factories cutting back on summer downtime The Associated Press DETROIT – The Detroit automakers are largely forgoing the traditional two-week summer break at their factories and speeding up production to meet buyers’ growing demand for new cars and trucks.

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday that 21 of its North American factories will shut for only one week this summer. That includes the Chicago plant that makes the Ford Explor-

er SUV and the Mexican plant that makes the Fusion sedan.

General Motors will idle its factories only for short periods, while Chrysler plans a two-week break at just four of its ten North American assembly plants. Both GM and Chrysler are rolling out critical new models.

The three Detroit carmakers traditionally shut factories for 14 days around July 4 to do maintenance and change the machinery for new models. But they don’t have that luxury

this year. U.S. demand for new cars and trucks has been strong, up 7 percent through April, led by soaring demand for full-size pickup trucks as home construction rebounds. And after closing more than two dozen factories during the recession, U.S. automakers need to use their remaining capacity to its fullest.

Earlier this week, General Motors Co.’s North America President Mark Reuss said GM might pause work to change over some machin-

ery but won’t have full shutdowns.

A small number of plants could close for up to a week. The nation’s biggest automaker is in the midst of releasing 20 new models, including the new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Chrysler Group has canceled downtime at three assembly plants, including the two Detroit facilities where the SRT Viper and Jeep Grand Cherokee are made and the Toledo, Ohio, factory that makes the new Jeep Cherokee.

Ford said it will produce 40,000 vehicles during the week it’s staying open. In all, the company plans to produce 240,000 more vehicles this year than it did last year in North America. It will soon add a second shift to its Flat Rock, Mich., plant to make the Fusion sedan and a third shift to the Kansas City, Mo., plant where the F-150 pickup is made. It’s also increasing the speed of its assembly lines, allowing plants that might have made 60 vehicles per hour to make 65.

SBA starting new lending program for veterans

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer NEW YORK – The Small Business Administration says it has lined up pledges from more than 120 banks to increase lending to veterans.

The agency said it’s starting a program, the SBA Veteran Pledge Initiative, aimed at increasing lending to veteran-owned businesses by 5 percent a year for the next five years. The 20 major banks known

as SBA National Lending Partners are making the pledge along with about 100 regional banks across the country. The program is expected to help an additional 2,000 veterans get loans totaling $475 million over the life of the program, the SBA said.

The agency started the program after finding there was a gap in lending to veterans, SBA head Karen Mills told The Associated Press.

In the fiscal year that ended Sept.

30, the SBA backed more than 3,200 loans to veterans worth more than $1.25 billion.

“We don’t have a specific theory about the cause,” Mills said. “When we went to the banks they were eager to be connected to veteran-owned businesses.”

Nine percent of small businesses, or 2.45 million, are owned by veterans, according to the SBA. Mills said the new program is designed to complement SBA programs aimed at

training veterans so they’ll be able to start and run businesses and obtain loans. Mills noted that many veterans leave the service with management skills that can carry over to running a business.

Many of the veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan have started companies, and many have decided to open franchises, said Rich Bradshaw, the head of SBA lending at TD Bank, one of the agency’s lending partners. He said most

of the franchise loans that TD Bank expects to make under the new program will be under $150,000.

The ongoing reduction of troops in Afghanistan, which follows the withdrawal of troops in Iraq, is expected to increase demand for business loans from veterans, Bradshaw said.

The SBA’s website has a section aimed at veterans who are business owners or planning to start businesses. It’s www.sba.gov/veterans.

AAA: 31.2M drivers to take road trip for Memorial Day

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Business Writer It’s going to be another busy Memorial Day weekend on the nation’s highways.

From Thursday through Monday, 31.2 million Americans will drive 50 miles or more to a beach, campground or other getaway, according to car lobbying group AAA. That’s a small increase from last year but still well short of the record 37.3 million people who drove during the holiday in 2005.

Gas will cost slightly more this year. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline has risen 7 cents in the past week to $3.66 and could increase over the weekend.

Gas averaged $3.64 last Memorial Day. Still, the price isn’t expected to reach the 2011 Memorial Day average of $3.79.

The total number of holi-

day travelers should decline almost 1 percent to 34.8 million, AAA says, because fewer will choose to fly. AAA estimates that 2.3 million travelers will take to the skies, down 8 percent from last year.

“American travelers are experiencing fee fatigue and frustration with everything from higher fares to airport security. As a result, many are choosing road travel,” Robert L. Darbelnet, CEO of AAA, said in a statement.

The airline industry’s lobbying group – Airlines for America – said it expects a typical Memorial Day weekend and sees overall summer traffic increasing by 1 percent.

The average domestic roundtrip airfare for June, July and August is $421, down $6 or 1.4 percent from last summer, according to the Air-

lines Reporting Corp., which processes almost half of all airline tickets sold in the U.S. The travel forecast done by IHS Global Insight for AAA – one of the nation’s largest leisure travel agencies – is based on interviews with 306 Americans and factors in estimates about the overall health of the economy.

In 2012, AAA underestimated the number of people driving on Memorial Day by 400,000. Part of the reason is that its report is prepared more than a month prior to the holiday. Last year, gas prices fell more than 20 cents a gallon during that period. This year, there was a rebound in measures of consumers’ confidence in the economy that occurred after the AAA report was finalized, which could indicate a few more Americans will travel than AAA predicts.

NEW YORK – Target Corp. reported a 26 percent drop in first-quarter profit as cool temperatures and financial pressures limited customers’ appetite for spending.

The company, based in Minneapolis, also cut its annual profit outlook.

Target is the latest in a string of companies including rival Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that underscore how weather and other pressures have squeezed business in the first couple months of the year.

Still, Target, whose sales growth has been uneven since the recession, remains confident in its strategies to attract shoppers.

Target has reached out to customers with two big growth initiatives. It has been offering a larger selection of food and also a program, started in 2010, that gives shoppers a 5 percent discount when they pay with Target-branded credit and debit cards.

At the same time, Target continues to team up with new designers for limited-time partnerships. Ear-

lier this month, Target announced its latest designer collaboration, with Phillip Lim. The collection is due out in September.

Last year, Target expanded into urban markets using smaller versions of its bigbox stores in Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Target also started to expand into Canada earlier this year, its first foray outside the U.S. The company is opening the stores in waves that should add up to about 125 stores at locations once owned by Canadian retailer Zellers by the end of the year.

During the first quarter, it opened 24 stores in Canada.

“Target’s first- quarter earnings were below expectations as a result of softer-than-expected sales, particularly in apparel and other seasonal and weather-sensitive categories,” Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and CEO of Target, said in a statement. “While we are disappointed in our first-quarter performance, we remain confident in our strategy, and we continue to invest in initiatives, including Canada, our digital channels, and

CityTarget, that will drive Target’s long-term growth.”

Target said it earned $498 million, or 77 cents per share, for the three months ended May 4. That compares with $697 million, or $1.04 per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items related to its Canadian expansion and retirement of certain debt, the company earned $1.05 per share.

Sales rose 1 percent to $16.71 billion.

Revenue at stores open at least a year slipped 0.6 percent as the number of transactions fell 1.9 percent.

That’s considered an important measure of retail performance because it strips out the effect of stores that open or close during the year.

Analysts had expected earnings of 95 cents per share on revenue of $16.82 billion.

Target expects that adjusted earnings per share will be in a range between $1.09 and $1.19 for the current quarter.

For the full year, the company now expects $4.70 per share to $4.90 per share.

That’s down from its original guidance of $4.85 per share to $5.05 per share.

Lowe’s 1Q net income rises 3 pct.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Lowe’s said Wednesday that its first-quarter net income rose nearly 3 percent, but results fell short of expectations as rainy weather hurt spring gardening sales.

The No. 2 home improvement retailer’s results stood in contrast to those reported a day earlier by Home Depot. Lowe’s larger rival reported an 18 percent rise in net income, bolstered by the

improving housing market.

Lowe’s was hurt more by the rainy and cool spring.

“Temperatures were cooler and precipitation greater than normal for much of the quarter resulting in a delayed spring selling season,” CEO Robert Niblock said in a call with analysts.

Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser said Lowe’s has less of a California presence, and a greater dependency on lawn and garden products than Home Depot.

Revenue in stores open at least one year rose 3 percent for indoor products such as paint but declined 7 percent for outdoor products. Results were weaker in March but improved in April, Niblock said.

Revenue in stores open at least one year have been positive in May as well, he said.

For the period ended May 3, Lowe’s Cos. earned $540 million, or 49 cents per share.

That compares with $527 million, or 43 cents per share, a year ago.

For some homeowners, a house is a canvas

By CEDAR BURNETT The Associated Press It’s hard to miss the enormous 20-foot-wide American flag on the side of Richard Ormbrek’s home. Comprised of around 180 tiles painted with scenes of Americana against a background of red and white stripes, the flag pops from the orange cedar shingles with traffic-stopping audacity.

This is actually the second major art project that Ormbrek has put on the house he shares with brother-in-law Bruce Edenso. The first – a traditional Haida Indian totem house design that covered the entire side of the home – was painted

in 1975 and made the house something of a local landmark.

Many people know of one: that neighborhood house that’s quirky or dramatic or a bona fide art project.

But few have the inclination – or the guts – to turn their own home into “that house,” to view their property as a giant canvas waiting to be explored.

“We needed to paint our house anyway,” says Ormbrek.

“And while we were mulling over the color, we decided to make our home look like a longhouse.”

Ormbrek’s late wife Judy, a Tlingit-Haida, picked the totem design, which the Ormbreks projected from atop a car

4270 Gladstone Dr., Lake in the Hills

across the street while their friend Steve Priestly painted in the lines.

Neighbors gaped as the house was transformed, but only one seemed to mind, fearing it would bring down property values. So far, it seems, the Totem House has neither driven down property values in one of Seattle’s hottest neighborhoods, nor affected the resale value of the home itself.

“I get offers every week to buy my home,” says Ormbrek.

“Of course I’m not planning on selling the house – it’s a very special place.”

TODAY - Your friends will have a strong influence over various areas of your life in the year ahead. Fortunately, the aspects indicate that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to choose those who are likely to help, not hinder.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- At times, you can be the kind of person who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take kindly to interruptions. If something or someone disrupts your day, restrain your anger.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone who has helped you in the past would be delighted if you returned the favor. Reciprocity is what keeps the wheels of good fellowship rolling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Guard against an inclination to be overly possessive of the ones you love. If you cling too tightly, it will only drive your loved ones away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fierce guardian of those you love. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not likely to tolerate anyone who tries to take advantage of you or your kin.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your brain is in high gear, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a whiz at improving othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideas.

Your sound input will be welcome on all fronts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your financial prospects look good. Your gains are apt to come from things you work on yourself, rather than projects of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will be far more effective in activities that you personally manage than you will as a mere team member. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to take charge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicated matter you need to sort out, seek out a quiet place in which think. Try to find an environment that is free of all distractions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Associating with some good friends could be more important than usual.

However, avoid people who tend to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawn into an exciting or challenging development, this could be just another one of those so-so days. You come alive when someone drops a gauntlet.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you might be confronted with what most people would consider a challenging situation, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see it as an opportunity. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You need to be concerned about the far-reaching effects of your actions, not just the immediate consequences. The future demands attention.

One of the pluses of transfer bids into the majors is that the stronger hand becomes the declarer.

This â&#x20AC;&#x153;right-sidesâ&#x20AC;? contracts with reasonable frequency.

What can happen in this deal if North is in four spades, or South is in three no-trump, or South is in four spades?

In the auction, South opened one no-trump, showing 15-17 points.

North transferred with a two-heart response, promising ďŹ ve-plus spades and any point-count.

After South completed the transfer, North jumped to three no-trump to show exactly ďŹ ve spades and to ask South to choose between three no-trump and four spades. (This was a slight overbid; two notrump would have been a slight underbid.) South, with three-card spade support and a low-doubleton diamond, preferred four spades.

In this deal, if North is in four spades, the contract should go down two. East would lead the heart queen.

The defenders could take three tricks in that suit, then shift to diamonds. When in with the spade ace, West

would cash a diamond trick.

If South is in three notrump, West would lead the diamond king and again down two would be the result.

Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have South in four spades. He wins the diamond-king lead with dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ace and drives out the spade ace. West cashes the diamond queen, but South has 10 tricks: four spades, one diamond and ďŹ ve clubs.

Yes, if East had the spade ace, all games would fail. But if you load the dice in your favor with transfers, you will gain in the long run.

We are looking at transfer bids into the majors.

Why use them?

There are two main reasons. First, you get the stronger hand to be the declarer when the ďŹ nal contract is in responderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major. And if the opening bid is one no-trump, the responder can describe a two-suiter below three notrump.

Look at the South hand.

Playing natural methods, South would respond three hearts, showing ďŹ ve hearts and at least game-going values. But when North rebids three no-trump, announcing only two hearts, should South pass or rebid four clubs? He does not know.

Here, passing would work badly, because the defenders take ďŹ ve spade tricks. But when South bids two diamonds, transfer, and rebids three clubs, natural and game-forcing, what does North do?

If he had three hearts, he would indicate the ďŹ t with a three-heart bid. With two hearts and stoppers in spades and diamonds, he would bid three no-trump.

The New Yo 620 Eigh For In For Re

Here, though, he continues with three diamonds, strongly suggesting that he Crossword is worried about spades. %'6377 0MOI 6I And if North is worried, TLSXSKVETLEFPI TS 3VK JSYRHIH GST] VI F] (V 2EXLER South is very worried!

Seattle resident Richard Ormbrek stands next to his house, which has been decorated with a 20-foot wide American flag made up of 180 individually-painted tiles.

• BUILDER Continued from page F1 Keith Wong, an agent in San Gabriel, Calif., for the national real-estate brokerage Redfin says a home’s price and location are more important than aesthetics in tight markets.

“We educate our clients to look past cosmetics,” says Wong. “If a house has good bones, it has lots of potential.”

Wong recently took clients to see an unusual home in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and says the couple were turned off more by the noise from a nearby freeway than by the home’s eclectic design, which included a rainbow of exterior colors and a giant statue of an insect in the front yard.

For those considering a creative makeover to their home, remember it’s a fine line between special and tacky, Wong advises. And consider how long you’ll be staying there.

“If you’re planning on selling your home anytime soon, it’s best to stick to cosmetics and keep with the characteristics of the neighborhood architecturally,” he says.

Jay Pennington of New Orleans put a twist on this suggestion when he offered his yard to host a yearlong musical art installation. The double lot he purchased in 2007

came with a dilapidated, roughly 250-year-old Creole cottage on the property, which Pennington wanted to use in a creative way befitting the spirit of New Orleans.

A DJ, performer and artist manager who also goes by the name Rusty Lazer, Pennington is steeped in the art world through his work as co-director of New Orleans Airlift, a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for artists.

Pennington, along with Brooklyn-based street artist Swoon and New Orleans Airlift Co-Director Delaney Martin, came up with the idea of a musical village made from the salvaged remains of the cottage.

After obtaining city permits, Martin and artist Taylor Lee Shepherd paired artists with builders to create a lot-size shantytown with nine shacks that wheezed, thrummed and plinked as fully functioning instruments.

The neighbors were almost universally supportive and took part in the project — from helping to dismantle the cottage to defending Pennington from the one neighbor who viewed the project as “trashy” and tried to shut it down.

“It’s New Orleans — people love music here,” says Pennington. He said neighbors appreciated that the cottage wasn’t torn down and replaced with a new, out-of-character home.

“The area has a rhythm and spir-

Orleans Museum of Art. Performances of “The Music Box,” as the project was called, drew 15,000 visitors and a host of performers who played the instrumental buildings. It ended in May 2011 after four months of staggered performances. Most of it was dismantled and the pieces stored to be used in a permanent musical building known

as Dithyrambalina.

Pennington still shares his property with the project’s art director, Eliza Zeitlin, who lives in the permanent structure she built for the project – along with her menagerie of 30 animals.

“My house will never be just my house again,” says Pennington. “But I love that.”
