Proposed work limitations the result of changes in health insurance laws By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Proposed work limitations made in response to the Affordable Care Act have hundreds of adjunct faculty members at McHenry County College concerned about

their futures. Beginning in August, the college is set to limit adjunct faculty – responsible for teaching roughly 50 percent of all credit hours – to 12 credit-hour course loads per semester and to restrict them to a single department. The limits are a response to

changes resulting from the Affordable Health Care Act, which would require employees working more than 30 hours a week to receive insurance. Twelve credit hours per semester would equal a 24-hour workweek. While the 24 credit-hour workload per school year has

aylor Kassel struggled with health problems for more than a year before knowing exactly what was going on with her body. The 15-year-old had a rash on her face, lost her hair and was so weak that she could barely stand without falling. There also was a stretch where she had to go to the emergency room three straight weeks with a fever of more than 105 degrees. After visiting several doctors, she was correctly diagnosed with lupus nephritis, the most serious form of systemic lupus erythematosus, most commonly referred to as lupus. “It was really scary and frustrating going from doctor to doctor and them not being able to tell me what was wrong,” said Kassel, a sophomore at Crystal Lake South High School. “I’ve had to change everything from my eating habits to my daily routine, but I’m not going to let lupus run my life.” The Crystal Lake teen is one of more than a million Americans suffering from the potentially fatal autoimmune disease, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. Although an unpredictable and chronic disease that proves difficult to diagnose, lupus usually is treatable through medication and other therapies. Two years later, through a drastic diet change and several medications, the softball and volleyball player at South has been able to control her lupus, which includes heart, lung and kidney

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Knowing where you’re supposed to be This column wasn’t supposed to be here. It was supposed to be a note saying I was taking some time off. Here it is anyway. Lucky you. This time last week, our family was preparing for our first international trip. While my wife and I had been to Playa Del Carmen a few times, this was a first for the kids. We know the stress-free world of the all-inclusive resort but could only fantasize about how much easier it would make a family vacation. You plan a fortunate break for a long time. But you rarely get to plan for a tough break. Nothing could prepare us for this one. Last week, my father-in-law was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. The tumors in his bones brought the excruciating pain that led to his diagnosis. While gentle, he’s a tough guy – a Vietnam vet and a brilliant engineer and inventor who’s traveled to all corners of the globe. He’s also a terrific father, husband, uncle, brother and grandfather, business owner and many wonderful things to many wonderful people.

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons It was time to pack for a different trip significantly north of Mexico – to Detroit to be with my wife. My mom came to Woodstock to watch our children. I braced for the reaction I might get from the 8-year-old whose Caribbean jungle paradise would have to wait. “I’m just sad for Grandpa Jim,” was his only reply. Sadness, without a hint of selfishness. “Grandpa Jim is more important than Mexico.” In a hurricane of emotions, there was clarity in his eyes. Whatever happens in life, I’m going to be proud of this kid. Hopefully, I have a long time to be his dad and there’s much parenting left to do, but he’s on the right track. Then I thought of Jim McCandless. While he’s accomplished much professionally, his greatest success was raising two daughters to be kind, empathetic, strong and independent.

This was no small request when I asked to marry his daughter. She’s the bravest person I know, and it’s no secret from whom she inherited it. I got to Beaumont Hospital in Grosse Pointe last Thursday evening. One tendency Jim and I share is not wasting many words, but what we don’t share is a love of sports. To give you an idea, Jim bought his grandson a Red Wings sweatshirt one Christmas. Little did he know, my son was as likely to wear it as I was likely to get a Henrik Zetterberg tattoo. Jim didn’t care about it, but we all watched the first two periods of Game 4 of the Blackhawks and Red Wings series in the hospital room where his wife, Kathy, stayed. My wife, Maria, her sister, Kelly, and I needed dinner. Only fast-food joints or taverns were open. Feeling lucky? Hit a Detroit fast-food spot around 10 p.m. We settled for a Red Wings bar near my father-in-law’s home in Grosse Pointe Park. Watching the Red Wings victory, accentuated by bar goal lights and horns, was the perfect ending to a miserable day.

Jim had morphine for his real pain. All I needed was one neat Maker’s Mark and a dose of perspective for my fan annoyance. I cared more about a hockey game than a grown man who can’t skate should. Like vacations, they’re temporary diversions from life. What’s permanent is family. And like any family dealing with cancer, for the past several days, next several months and hopefully years, it’s figuring out when to be a husband, when to be a father, and when to be a son-in-law. For the moment, I’m back to primarily dad, while Maria remains mostly daughter. I’m learning that God tells you where you are most needed if you listen. This column wasn’t supposed to be here. But because of family, we’ve been able to be right where we’re supposed to be.

Decontaminating patients cuts infections The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Infections in U.S. hospitals kill tens of thousands of people each year, and many institutions fight back by screening new patients to see if they carry a dangerous germ, and isolating those who do. But a big study suggests a far more effective approach: Decontaminating every patient in intensive care. Washing everyone with antiseptic wipes and giving them antibiotic nose ointment reduced bloodstream infections dramatically in the study at more than 40 U.S. hospitals. The practice could prove

Count On Me... Keith Leathers

controversial, because it would involve even uninfected patients and because experts say it could lead to germs becoming more resistant to antibiotics. But it worked better than screening methods, now required in nine states. The study found that 54 patients would need to be decontaminated to prevent one bloodstream infection. Nevertheless, the findings are “very dramatic” and will lead to changes in practice and probably new laws, said Dr. William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University infectious-disease specialist who was not involved in the research.

ed for a dangerous germ called MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In the year before the experiment began, there were 950 bloodstream infections in intensive care patients at the hospitals studied. The results suggest that more than 400 of those could have been prevented if all hospitals had used the decontamination method. “We’ve definitively shown that it is better to target highrisk people,” not high-risk germs, said lead author Dr. Susan Huang, a researcher and infectious-disease specialist at the University of California, Irvine.

Some hospitals are already on board. The study targeted ICU patients, who tend to be older, sicker, weaker and most likely to be infected with dangerous bacteria, including drug-resistant staph germs. The decontamination method worked like this: For up to five days, 26,000 ICU patients got a nose swab twice a day with bacteria-fighting ointment, plus once-daily bathing with antiseptic wipes. Afterward, they were more than 40 percent less likely to get a bloodstream infection of any type than patients who had been screened and isolat-

BERLIN – German doctors say a man spent 15 years with a pencil in his head following a childhood accident. Aachen University Hospital says the 24-year-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering for years from headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye. A scan showed that a 4-inch-long pencil was lodged from his sinus to his pharynx. The unidentified man said he didn’t know how the pencil got there but recalled that he once fell badly as a child.

Gun law still out of reach The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – With just days to go before the scheduled adjournment of their spring session, Illinois lawmakers felt their way forward Wednesday, inching toward compromise on allowing citizens to carry guns in public. The House and Senate are at odds: Each chamber has adopted its own plan to answer the dilemma with little hope that the other chamber will go along. Senate President John Cullerton made the latest move, reaching out to the House in search of a deal on concealed carry. Lawmakers are facing an order imposed by 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals – which found Illinois’ public gun ban unconstitutional in December – to enact a framework permitting concealed carry. The House overwhelmingly adopted a concealed-carry proposal, 8530, last week, but Senate Democrats object to how it also invalidates all local ordinances on firearms, regardless of whether they deal with public weapons possession. They positioned for a floor vote a rival, but similar, plan that allows cities to retain their local rules. But Cullerton gathered Rep. Brandon Phelps, the House version’s sponsor, and the Senate plan’s author, Sen. Kwame Raoul, and others for a meeting Wednesday morning. “We’re not there,” Raoul said Wednesday evening. “Some pretty tough, hard stances being taken. It’s all revolving around pre-emption [of local laws].”

Slow movement on pension fix By SOPHIA TAREEN

State Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers Tuesday during a Senate Executive Committee hearing at the State Capitol.

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – With just days before an end-of-session deadline, lawmakers have only inched toward a solution for Illinois’ nearly $100 billion pension problem. Both the House and Senate are at odds with how to proceed on two overhauls. Three smaller pension bills – dealing with retirement age, salary caps and cost-of-living increases – are on the Senate floor. Another more controversial idea – making schools pick up their own pension costs – began to materialize Wednesday. “This is a game of pingpong without the ball,” said Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican, who’s been key in pension talks. Illinois has the nation’s worst pension problem because lawmakers either skipped or shorted payments for decades. Gov. Pat Quinn says finding a solution is a top priority, but there hasn’t been consensus on an approach. Lawmakers adjourn Friday. Senators could vote anytime on the smaller bills, which might be test votes for ideas in House Speaker Mi-

chael Madigan’s pension bill or a way to see what courts find constitutional. His plan, which cuts benefits across the board for everybody, has cleared the House and awaits a Senate vote. But Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, says his overhaul, which would give retirees a choice between health care or other pension benefits, among other provisions, would survive a constitutional challenge. It’s currently sitting in a House committee after sena-

tors approved it. Cullerton said his Democratic caucus would discuss the smaller bills and other overhauls Thursday to figure out the savings and which ones had enough votes. “That’s what the issue is,” he told reporters Wednesday evening. “I don’t have a strategy ... yet.” Meanwhile, Northbrook Democrat Rep. Elaine Nekritz, another key player in pension talks, said Wednesday that she was readying a bill requiring

state universities and community colleges to gradually pick up their own pension costs. Earlier this month, the heads of several higher education institutions agreed to pay half of 1 percent of retirement costs each year starting in fiscal 2015. What remained was whether local school districts would follow suit. Nekritz said that idea, which Republicans oppose because they say it will raise property taxes, was still being negotiated.

High-volume ‘fracking’ already happening The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – State records indicate that high-volume oil drilling already has begun in Illinois, where lawmakers and others are scrambling to pass a bill to establish regulations for a practice that has generated intense national debate as energy companies push into new territory. Carmi, Ill.-based Campbell Energy LLC submitted a well completion report last June to the Department of Natural Resources, vol-

untarily disclosing that it used 640,000 gallons of water during hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” of a well in White County. A regulatory bill awaiting an end-of-session vote by state lawmakers, which wasn’t yet written at the time the well was drilled, defines “high-volume” as using 300,000 gallons or more of fluid during all stages of fracking. The report was obtained by the Natural Resources Defense Council, which shared it with The Associated Press.

Phone calls to Campbell Energy on Tuesday and Wednesday seeking comment were not immediately returned. DNR Director Marc Miller acknowledged that the well in southeastern Illinois would qualify as high-volume under the proposed legislation, but said that his agency would not have checked the report when it was filed because there was nothing on the books to define high-volume fracking. Companies are not required to tell the DNR what

method they use to extract oil and gas when they apply for a permit or when the well is finished, but Campbell Energy included that information anyway. Although the DNR does not know of any other wells that would meet the proposed definition of high-volume, there’s no way to know for sure if there are more. Fracking uses high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to crack rock formations and release oil and natural gas.

Estimate: Ill. could trim $2.3B from bill backlog • BUDGET Continued from page A1 But while other states’ legislatures are debating whether to spend the money to restore previously cut programs or to set it aside as a rainyday fund, Illinois lawmakers are dealing with a multibillion-debt to the state’s vendors and service providers. Democrats say they’re putting the $1.2 billion toward the state’s backlog of bills, allowing Illinois to completely pay off what it owes to human services organizations – such as those that serve the homeless and elderly – and to allocate the full amount of what state agencies expect they will spend next year. In prior years, the Legislature approved budgets that lawmakers knew wouldn’t cover the state’s costs. That led to deficits being carried over from year to year and to the massive backlog of bills. According to the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget, the “April Surprise” will help decrease the backlog by $2.3 billion in the current fiscal year. By the end of the fiscal year that begins July 1, the total amount due would be $5.9 billion. “We still believe it’s very conservative,” said Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat and one of the Legislature’s top budget negotiators. Steans said the total budget will increase by about $1.9 billion, or 3 percent, over the current fiscal year. That jump is funded almost entirely from an increase in fees. Spending from the general revenue fund – or from income and sales taxes – will remain flat.

8NATION BRIEFS Sources: Obama prepares to name Comey to FBI WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is preparing to nominate former Bush administration official James Comey to head the FBI, people familiar with the decision said Wednesday. Three people with knowledge of the selection said Obama planned to nominate Comey, who was the No. 2 in President George W. Bush’s Justice Department. The three people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the selection ahead of Obama’s announcement, which was not expected immediately.

Rep. Bachmann to leave House after fourth term ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann announced Wednesday that her fourth term in Congress will be her last, choosing to leave on her own terms after a dismal 18 months in which her presidential bid collapsed and she barely managed to retain her House seat. Bachmann, a leading figure in the tea party movement, discussed the decision in a Web video sent to supporters by email. She said her departure was unrelated to ethics inquiries stemming from the failed presidential run and “was not influenced by any concerns about my being re-elected.”

Independent governor to become Democrat in R.I. NARRAGANSETT, R.I. – Independent Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, a former Republican senator, is joining the Democratic Party ahead of his 2014 bid for a second term, his spokeswoman said Wednesday, confirming a move that Chafee has been talking about for months as a way to better position himself for re-election. Chafee would not immediately address his party switch when asked about it Wednesday after he exited a ferry from Block Island to the mainland, saying only that he would announce his decision at his local board of canvassers in Warwick on Thursday morning. But he did say his priorities haven’t changed.

Charities see influx of aid in Okla. tornado’s wake OKLAHOMA CITY – Donations are pouring into Oklahoma as people around the country look to help residents affected by last week’s violent tornado outbreak, but charities also are receiving plenty of items they don’t need – tons of used clothes, shoes and stuffed animals that take up valuable warehouse space and clog distribution networks. Charity organizers say monetary donations are far more flexible and useful, and many organizations expected an infusion of cash donations after a benefit concert Wednesday night in Oklahoma City featured country music stars with Oklahoma ties, including Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Vince Gill and Reba McEntire.

Wife of Pa. abortion doctor gets sentence PHILADELPHIA – The wife of a rogue abortion doctor told a judge Wednesday that her husband deserves his life sentence for killing babies born alive, but complained that she and her children are left to deal with the public scorn. A judge gave Pearl Gosnell, 51, seven to 23 months in prison for helping perform illegal, third-trimester abortions at the seedy clinic, including one on a 14-year-old girl who was 31 weeks pregnant. Her husband, Kermit Gosnell, 72, was sentenced this month to life without parole in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation’s polarized abortion debate.

Controversies add to Obama’s second-term woes The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – For President Barack Obama, the opening months of his second term have been a frustrating reminder of the limits of presidential power and the durability of the Washington political apparatus he disdains. Obama has yet to achieve a

significant second-term legislative victory, a task that will only get harder as midterm elections near. Controversies roiling Washington have emboldened Republicans eager to gain an advantage over the president and revealed a Democratic establishment willing to publicly second-guess the White House. And Obama,

who ran as an outsider pledging to overcome Washington’s bitter partisan divide, acknowledges he’s made little progress on that front. “What’s blocking us right now is the sort of hyper-partisanship in Washington that, frankly, I was hoping to overcome in 2008,” he told donors at a fundraiser last week.

Obama’s frustration has become increasingly evident as the White House grapples with: a resurgent GOP investigation into the attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, the targeting of conservative political groups by the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department’s seizure of phone records from

journalists at The Associated Press and, in another case, reading the emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The typically even-keeled Obama became visibly angry recently when discussing the Benghazi investigations, casting the Republican effort as a “sideshow” and “political circus.”

‘Bare-bones’ policies on way out

other bump. Also, it doesn’t seem to square with one of the president’s best known promises about his health care overhaul: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.” But supporters of the overhaul are betting that consumers won’t object once they realize the coverage they will get under the new law is superior to current bare-bones insurance. For example, insurers will no longer be able to turn people down because of medical problems. Other bumps on the road to the new health care law include potentially unaffordable premiums for smokers unless states act to waive them, a new $63-per-head fee that will hit companies already providing coverage to employees and dependents, and a long-term care insurance program that had to be canceled because of

the risk it could go belly up. The Obama administration did not respond directly to questions about the potential fallout from cancellation notices. Instead, Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters released a prepared statement saying: “Beginning in October, individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for insurance in the marketplace, where we are already seeing that increased competition and transparency are leading to a range of options for quality, affordable plans.” For the most part, state insurance commissioners are giving insurers the option of canceling existing plans or changing them to comply with new federal requirements. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected.

Seen as consumer safeguards by the administration, the new requirements limit costs paid by policyholders, and also expand benefits. That includes better preventive care, and also improved prescription coverage in many cases. The most important feature may be protection for your pocketbook if you get really sick: The new plans limit copayments and other out-ofpocket costs to $6,400 a year for individuals. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners says it is hearing that many carriers will cancel policies and issue new ones because administratively that is easier than changing existing plans. About 14 million Americans currently purchase their health policies individually, a number expected to more than double eventually because of the new law’s subsidies and one-stop insurance markets. But the transition may not be seamless. “The impending changes ... have the potential to cause policyholder confusion,” said a recent memo from Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart to insurers. Nationally a considerable number of people could be affected by cancellations. Information from insurers is still dribbling in to state regulators.

Palestinian leader under pressure to restart talks

N. Korea sanctions hurt aid groups’ cash flow

Mobs spread fear among Muslims in Myanmar

UK police: Man charged in soldier’s stabbing

JERUSALEM – The Palestinian president has told advisers that as the U.S. tries to restart Mideast peace talks, he is under intense international pressure to return to negotiations with Israel and drop demands for a Jewish settlement freeze in the West Bank, officials said Wednesday. In a closed meeting, Mahmoud Abbas lamented his difficult choice: Rebuff the U.S. and alienate Washington, or cave in and face an uproar at home. Aides say Abbas expects a formal proposal to renew talks from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in the coming weeks.

PYONGYANG, North Korea – New international sanctions aimed at thwarting North Korea’s nuclear weapons program are having unintended consequences: halting money transfers by foreign humanitarian groups working to help those most in need and forcing some agencies to carry suitcases of cash in from outside. Some restrictions are meant to sting the country’s elite by crippling the import of luxury goods. But they do not appear to be stopping the well-heeled from living large in the capital Pyongyang.

LASHIO, Myanmar – Hundreds of Buddhist men on motorcycles, screaming and waving iron rods and sticks, roamed the streets of a town Wednesday in northeastern Myanmar in a new wave of violence targeting Muslims. At least one person died and four others were injured, state television said. A mosque, a Muslim school and other buildings were burned. Many Muslims stayed locked inside their homes and shops remained shuttered near the border with China, the latest region to fall prey to the country’s spreading religious violence.

LONDON – Police have charged a man with murder in the killing of a British soldier in a suspected Islamic extremist attack in broad daylight on a London street. Michael Adebowale, 22, was charged late Wednesday by counterterrorism officers and will appear in court Thursday, police said. He is one of two suspects in the killing of Lee Rigby, 25, who was hit by a car and stabbed to death last week near his barracks in southeast London. Suspect Michael Adebolajo, 28, remains hospitalized.

Insurance reform will mean change of plans for some The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Many people who buy their own health insurance could get surprises in the mail this fall: cancellation notices because their current policies aren’t up to the basic standards of President Barack Obama’s health care law. They, and some small businesses, will have to find replacement plans – and that has some state insurance officials worried about consumer confusion. Rollout of the Affordable Care Act is going full speed ahead, despite repeal efforts by congressional Republicans. New insurance markets called exchanges are to open in every state this fall. Middle-class consumers who don’t get coverage on the job will be able to pick private health plans, while low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it. The goal is to cover most of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured, but even Obama says there will be bumps in the road. And discontinued insurance plans could be an-

At a glance Insurers providing health insurance plans that do not comply with the Affordable Care Act will have the option of canceling or changing the plans. It’s most likely to affect people who buy their health insurance individually. Buyers whose coverage is canceled will have to switch plans.

By the numbers n About 14 million Americans currently purchase their health policies individually. n Nearly 50 million Americans currently are uninsured.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Syria’s foreign minister laid out a hard line Wednesday, saying Bashar Assad will remain president at least until elections in 2014 and might seek another term, conditions that will make it difficult for the opposition to agree to U.N.-sponsored talks on ending the civil war. Any deal reached in such talks would have to be put to a referendum, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem added in a TV interview, a condition that could complicate efforts by the U.S. and Russia to bring both sides together at an international conference in Geneva, possibly next month. Drawing a tough line of its own, the main exile-based political group, the Syrian National Coalition, reiterated that any negotiations require “the head of the regime, security and military leadership to step down and be excluded from the political process.”

While the Assad regime has agreed in principle to attend peace talks, the opposition has not, insisting it first get international guarantees on the agenda and timetable. The coalition has been meeting for the past week in Turkey but spent most of that time arguing about membership issues. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday that while Russia and the United States have asked him to convene a meeting as soon as possible, “there are still many elements that we have to clear.” He said there is still no agreement on a date, on who will participate, and on the membership of a united opposition delegation. In his wide-ranging comments, al-Moallem, an Assad stalwart with decades in top positions, reflected a new confidence by the government. The regime had seemed near collapse last summer but has scored a number of battlefield successes in recent weeks.

Local fests need local support Welcome back, Harvard Milk Days! The 72nd annual version of Harvard’s hometown gala runs Friday through Sunday, kicking off the unofficial start to festival season in McHenry County. For months, For the record dozens of dedicated volunteers When planning your summer, have been workremember that by spending ing countless time and money at local feshours to make tivals, you’re supporting your sure Milk Days community. runs smoothly and festivalgoers have a grand time. That can be said of the more-than-a-dozen local summer festivals that will take place in the county this year. Among the many festivals and other events to take place in communities across McHenry County in the coming weeks will be America’s Cardboard Cup Regatta (June 22) and the Lakeside Festival in Crystal Lake (July 3-7), Rotary Ribfest (July 11-14) and Summer Sunset Festival (Aug. 30-Sept. 1) in Lake in the Hills, Fiesta Days (July 12-21) in McHenry, Founders’ Day (July 25-28) in Algonquin, the Mozart Festival (July 27-28) and Jazz Fest (Aug. 22-24) in Woodstock, and, of course, the McHenry County Fair (July 31-Aug. 4), also in Woodstock. As we’ve said in this space in years past, there are many great reasons why area residents should support these local festivals. That includes the volunteers, some of whom undoubtedly are your friends, neighbors, work colleagues, fellow church parishioners or even relatives. They’re also a great place to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. They’re usually kid-friendly, with carnival rides and games and other family-friendly entertainment. Many festivals offer live music played by local musicians. They feature great food and beverages from local restaurants. And they’re relatively inexpensive and always close to home. The money you spend at these festivals also stays local. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to put on each of these festivals, so much of the money raised during this year’s events will help to pay for next year’s. And some proceeds go to support local social service agencies or other good causes. Keep these local festivals in mind when planning your summer entertainment options. Support local by spending – both time and money – locally.

Iran’s power play Four years ago, voting in Iran almost triggered regime change. Millions protested President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s apparently fraudulent re-election over a moderately reformist opponent. The movement quickly grew into a wider challenge to the theocracy that has ruled Iran since 1979. Using arrests and violence, the country’s unelected de facto ruler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, eventually crushed the so-called Green Revolution – and drew the lesson that even a tiny bit of genuine political competition is too much. Or so it appears from his regime’s behavior since 2009, which has included the vilification of even such erstwhile allies as Ahmadinejad for their policy deviations – as well as the targeting of actual dissidents for harassment, arrest and, as a United Nations human rights rapporteur put it in a March report, “torture ... on a geographically widespread and systemic ... basis.” The regime’s drive for total control culminated in last week’s announcement by the Khamenei-controlled Guardian Council barring two potentially serious but hardly radical candidates, former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Ahmadinejad’s aide, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, from running in the June 14 presidential election. (The current president is limited to two terms.) What’s left is a list of eight candidates notable mainly for their fealty to Khamenei. Plainly, he is no less determined to consolidate power than he is to pursue his other goals: saving the Syrian regime of Bashir al-Assad and continuing a nuclear-weapons program. President Barack Obama has said the United States won’t tolerate Iran developing a nuclear weapon, and his administration has imposed tough economic sanctions. It has responded with great patience to the perpetual failure of negotiations, most recently taking a wait-andsee approach pending the June 14 vote. Now that some sort of victory for Khamenei seems predetermined, it’s time to start planning for the next phase. The Washington Post

Jesus was victorious To the Editor: A recent letter to the editor by Don Mast (May 16) said, “We must always trust our sources of information,” but then he questions the reliability of the Bible. The Bible is the most well-substantiated historical book in existence, with 5,600 copies of the New Testament dating from within 100 years of writing. In comparison, there are seven copies of Plato from within in 1,200 years of his writing and 643 copies of Homer’s Iliad from within 500 years of writing. People don’t question these other books’ historical accuracy, so why the Bible? Don also writes that “none of the writers of the New Testament were eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus.” However, Matthew, John and Peter were all Jesus’ disciples and James, Jesus’ own brother, was an-

other eyewitness author. Don also says that the Bible “was written by man with all of his biases,” but 2 Timothy 3:16 says “all Scripture is breathed out by God.” The Bible is a divinely inspired book written through men by God himself. Finally, it is not that Jesus had no intention of overthrowing the law. In fact, Jesus said, “I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17) Jesus fulfilled the divine requirement of the law. He did what we couldn’t. He wasn’t defeated and crucified for insurrection, he laid down his own life for us because of his great love for us and was vindicated by the Father, who raised him from the dead. Jesus was victorious. Chris and Katie Yoars Crystal Lake

Impressive and wasteful To the Editor: From the 1920s until 2012, America lost 606,493 dead, 982,778 wounded and spent $26.723 trillion to defeat the tyrants of the world. In writing these statistics, two things are sticking in my mind – impressive and wasteful. To me, it is definitely impressive that the American people spend that many lives, so many wounded and all this money to preserve their American way of live and their Constitution. It would be wasteful if the American people followed Presi-

try and won World War II, which also ended the Great Depression. Ronald Reagan, who led us out of a serious recession. He also led us to a successful conclusion of the 50-year Cold War with Russia. We haven’t had a strong leader with a just cause since Reagan left office, with the possible exception of George Bush I. We the people have lost sight of the most fundamental cause of all, freedom. We have been drifting from a Christian, God-fearing nation to a secular nation with a me-first culture. We apparently feel that the freedom provided us by our forebears will remain without constant protection. It won’t. We must realize that giving up our freedoms even to our own elected officials for promised rewards is loss of freedom. Remember our God-given rights: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Hidden taxes are driving up gasoline prices SPRINGFIELD – I set a personal record the other day that I’m not particularly proud of – I spent $76 filling up my car with gas. That’s money that won’t go toward charity, my kids or a whole host of things that I would rather spend it on. Instead, it was poured right into the gas tank. A lot of us had that feeling Memorial Day weekend as we filled our cars before taking a trip. Illinois has the fifth-highest state gasoline tax rates in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation. But even that doesn’t tell us the whole story. Cities around the state are able to tack on taxes of their own. For example, if you were to buy 15 gallons of gas in Chicago this week, you’d likely pay $66.23, of which $12.40 would go to federal, state and local taxes. In border regions of Illinois, folks are filling up their cars in neighboring states.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder This loss of commerce hurts not only Illinois service stations, but also the workers they employ. “Illinois is one of the most expensive places to do business,” said Bill Fleischli, executive vice president of the Illinois Petroleum Marketers Association. “A big reason for it being so expensive is taxes, and taxes on fuel are part of that.” Why do politicians find gas taxes attractive? Because they think you are too dumb to know you are being taxed. The assumption among politicians is that you’ll blame someone other than them for the high prices at the pump. Fingers get pointed at OPEC, Big Oil, speculators and just about anyone involved

with the petroleum industry. But rarely do politicians accept part of the blame. In fact, they do their best to obscure their role in high gas prices. State law doesn’t allow gas stations to advertise their prices at the pump without the taxes already included. I don’t know of any other retailer that is forced to post their prices that way. It all comes back to a prevailing arrogance of elected officials. They think they know how to spend your money better than you know how to spend your money. Think about that the next time you fill your car up with gas – or step into a voting booth.

Autoimmune disease causes many symptoms Official: Contract The Kassel family, (from left) Taylor, 15, playing with their dog Edna Louise; Bonnie; Baylee, 11, holding their dog Carmine Vito; Todd; and Ben, 14, spend time outside their Crystal Lake home. Taylor was diagnosed with lupus in 2011.

• LUPUS Continued from page A1 The disease affects men and women of all ages, but occurs more frequently in women, as well as African-Americans and the Hispanic population, data show. About 10 percent of people with lupus will have a relative with the disease, and about 5 percent of children born to individuals with lupus will develop the illness. There are several forms of lupus, including cutaneous, systemic, drug-induced, overlap syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease. Inflammation and tissue damage to organ systems in the body usually occurs, including in the joints, kidneys, lungs, brain, blood, blood vessels and skin. Symptoms include achy joints, frequent fevers, arthritis, extreme fatigue, skin rashes and anemia, to name a few. “Lupus manifests itself in a variety of ways, but because they all aren’t there right away, it makes it difficult to diagnose,” said Dr. Glen Weiner, a rheumatologist at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. “Once diagnosed, there is reason for optimism, as the majority of people survive.” The most common screening for lupus is an antinuclear antibody test. Because a small portion of those who take the test come back false positive, a proper diagnosis generally includes

Diane Magerko had been struggling with extreme fatigue for more than 10 years. At first she was told it was just stress, and then she had a blood test and was diagnosed with arthritis. It wasn’t until seven weeks ago that she was diagnosed with a mild case of lupus. She now is on an antimalarial drug commonly used to treat lupus. “You know when your body is off,” said Magerko, of Lake in the Hills. “I’m one of the lucky ones because it’s not

too serious, but others aren’t so lucky. Enough people don’t know what it is or how to get diagnosed.” Similarly, Michelle Giannetti had been feeling so bad for so long, that as a gift for her 42nd birthday, she scheduled a visit to the doctors for blood tests. The Crystal Lake resident was diagnosed with lupus April 15, and started treatment with medication shortly after. “I thought I was just dealing with stress initially and possibly a hormonal imbalance,” said Giannetti, who found out she was anemic and had low blood platelets. “No one ever understood what was wrong with me until I got the proper tests.” Researchers do not know the exact cause of lupus, but the disease is not infectious. Some believe there is a genetic predisposition to the dis-

ease, and that some environmental factors trigger lupus, Weiner said. Some hormonal factors also may explain why it occurs more frequently in women than men. “It varies tremendously,” he said. “You could have a family of four kids, and one may have it and the rest don’t. It’s a complicated scramble of the genes.” Those with lupus can generally keep the symptoms in check, reduce inflammation in joints and maintain normal body functions through the use of medication, including steroids. Each treatment plan depends on the severity of the illness, and routine checkups are key to stabilize the disease. Oftentimes, a patient will at some point need to consult a rheumatologist, who treats arthritis and other diseases of the joints.

will help offset cuts • ADJUNCT Continued from page A1 hours in other departments. “The cases where someone would be teaching 15 credit hours are pretty limited, but in those cases they should receive health insurance,” Ponzio said. “And if a student needs tutoring, what are you going to tell them? I can’t because I’m about to go over hours?” Tony Miksa, vice president of academic and student affairs, said he did not believe the changes would be problematic and administration would continue to work with the adjunct faculty to find solutions to the single-department concerns. He said he hoped the new contract that started with the adjunct faculty in 2011 would help offset any lost supplemental income for those who worked long hours in other areas outside of teaching courses. He said the faculty received an 8 percent raise last year and will receive a 9 percent raise this year, though the bumps still only bring the adjunct faculty closer to the state average of their peers. “We want them to know

they are valued ... but we’re not designed here, in terms of our financial institution, to offer health insurance to 300 or 400 adjunct faculty members,” Miksa said. Ponzio said he was encouraged that the administration has listened to concerns and is willing to re-examine the multiple department issue. He said that while the college’s concern of having multiple supervisors record and track hours is legitimate, losing services from professors such as Beverly Jackson, who also works with special needs students, or Robin Deak, who also trains other adjunct professors, would hurt the students. Even if it meant skimming back on the supplemental work, Ponzio said, most professors would want to continue their current routines and believed an agreement still could be reached with administration before August. “I think what we always try to do is cooperate with the college whenever we can,” he said. “I think the board will want to make a decision and have us come together and reach a consensus before August.”

“For years, I suffered from unbearable stiffness and swelling in my hands”

“How I BEAT The Pain That Almost Ended My Career!”

By Jaudon Sunde Medical Cosmetic Technician

For nine long years, I lived in sheer agony. I suffered from inflammation and horrible stiffness in my hands. Unless you’ve experienced it for yourself, you can’t imagine how bad the pain really is. It nearly crippled me and almost ended my career. As a Medical Micropigmentation Specialist in Cleveland, Ohio, I need my hands for applying medical tattooing and permanent makeup for cancer patients, burn victims, and for people who need facial reconstruction. I was proud that in 2010, FOX 8 TV news viewers voted me the “Best Permanent Cosmetic Technician” in the area and I have consistently ranked in the top 2% nationally. But suddenly, my career was in danger. I was told that the intense precision of my work combined with the brutal cold winters in Ohio contributed to major stiffness and inﬂammation. So naturally, I tried just about every pain remedy and topical cream on the market. Nothing worked. The pain was getting worse and worse.

“The good news is that researchers at the University of Arizona have now confirmed that the Nopal cactus — found in the Sonoran Desert in the southwest U.S. — has tremendous power. It can help fight off harmful inflammation without risky drugs. And it can help reduce the pain caused by inflammation. “It turns out that the fruit of this plant is loaded with a special concentration of something called a ‘bioflavonoid.’ It’s a super-powerful antioxidant that scientists believe to be perhaps the best natural anti-inflammatory agent on the planet. And it’s proven to reduce inflammation and detoxify your body naturally.” He then spoke the words that would change my life. “I think all you need to do is try a fruit drink.” I was shocked! How is an ordinary fruit drink going to end my misery? “Well, it’s not an ordinary fruit drink. It’s called Nopalea, a breakthrough wellness drink that contains these incredible bioflavonoids I told you about. Drink it and you’ll be amazed how great you’re going to feel.” I was skeptical, but I was also desperate. He brought me a bottle and I took a sip. I was shocked that it actually tasted fruity and delicious. I really enjoyed drinking it.

So for all these years, I got by on a steady regimen of over-the-counter pills. The pain in my hands got so bad that I started taking pain relievers 2-3 times a day. And still my agony persisted.

In just 5-6 days, an amazing thing happened. I started to feel much better. My stiffness loosened up and I moved around better than I had in years with no pain.

I was faced with a dreadful choice: Either have the painful surgery on my hands and be laid up for months... or cut my workload in half. I was between a rock and a hard place.

I was over joyed! The inﬂammation in my hands showed dramatic improvement. I kept taking 3 ounces of Nopalea twice a day and after about 30 days, I could perform my duties 95% pain free!

I couldn’t afford to do either. I had to ﬁnd a better way to get real relief.

Even the doctors I work with were amazed at my amazing improvement. I no longer need surgery. I am busier than ever before and I love it!

Then one day at dinner a friend of mine told me that inﬂammation is worse than I thought. “It’s called the ‘secret killer,’ and for good reason,” he said. “Left alone, it can ravage your arteries, chew up nerve cells in your brain, and lead to all kinds of age-related ailments.

I also found out that the betalains in Nopalea aid my body in healing by surrounding unhealthy cells and draining them of toxic waste. But don’t believe me. You must try this drink

Jaudon Sunde, Micropigmentation Specialist, says that “Nopalea has been a life-saver in every sense of the word.”*

for yourself. If you’re suffering with the same inﬂammation and pain that I did, you owe it to yourself to get real relief. Once you try Nopalea, I know you’ll agree that it’s the best thing that’s happened to you in a long, long time. TRY A FREE BOTTLE! In fact, the manufacturers of Nopalea are so conﬁdent that they’ve agreed to give the readers of this newspaper a special introductory offer. Call now and they’ll ship you a 32-ounce bottle for FREE!

POLICE: MAN FIRED SHOTGUN AT TRUCK RICHMOND – A Richmond man was arrested Tuesday evening after police say he fired a shotgun at another man’s truck. Bryon J. Kelly, 19, of 7911 Burgett Road, Richmond, was charged with aggravated discharge of a weapon, a Class 1 felony; aggravated assault, a Class 4 felony; possession of a firearm without a FOID card, a Class A misdemeanor; and possession of ammunition without a FOID card, also a Class A misdemeanor. McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday to 7911 Burgett Road after a report of a dispute where shots were fired, according to a news release. Deputies were told a man had dropped off a female friend at the house when Kelly went into the house, retrieved a shotgun and shot it in the direction of the man’s truck, the release said. Kelly also pointed the gun at the man’s head and yelled at him to leave the property. He told police that he had done so because the man was not leaving the property, the news release said. Deputies also discovered two shotguns and a rifle at the house, the release said. Kelly did not possess a valid FOID card. Kelly was released Wednesday morning from the McHenry County Jail on an $80,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday.

Man devoted website to teen 33-year-old accused of posting details of relationship with underage lover By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors say a 33-year-old former McHenry man created a website devoted to his underage lover, and on it, he documented intimate details of their relationship. Alan Swierk was charged May 20 with aggravated criminal sexual abuse. McHenry County Judge Gor-

Alan Swierk, 33, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse for an alleged relationship with a 15-year-old girl. don Graham on Wednesday denied his request to lower his bond to $20,000. His charge is a Class 2 felony, which carries a maximum

sentence of seven years in jail. The website Swierk allegedly created details nearly every aspect of his relationship with the girl, who was 15 years old at the time the association started, prosecutors said at Wednesday’s bond hearing. Swierk built the website “to express his love for [whom he called] the most amazing woman in the

world, the minor victim,” Assistant State’s Attorney David Metnick said. Swierk went into great detail about their relationship and posted pictures of the two, some he wrote were “erotic” or “hawt,” Metnick said, adding that one picture showed Swierk with red marks on his neck, believed to be hickeys, with the caption, “wowzers.” Swierk proposed marriage to the teen-

age girl, the prosecutor said. McHenry police said a family member of the alleged victim notified authorities. “He wasn’t the smartest individual, for sure,” McHenry Police Department Deputy Chief John Birk said. “That’s a good thing for us. It helped us identify him and keep him locked up a bit longer.”

Marengo council OKs annexation Decision comes amid Riley Townships’s environmental concerns By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The ongoing debate between Marengo and Riley Township on whether the zoning changes included in Marengo’s controversial annexation agreement puts groundwater at risk now will be left for future regulators to decide. The council approved, 8-1, a deal Tuesday that annexes A.R. Land Co.’s 340 acres west of Route 23 into Marengo’s limits and inches the city closer to Interstate 90 and to its goal of negotiating the construction of a tollway interchange. Aldermen then approved, 7-1, a variety of zoning changes that rezoned portions

“If you vote to change the zoning despite all the evidence, you are in my opinion not doing the job the people entrusted you to do.” Karen Schnable Riley Township supervisor in a statement to the council of the land to general business and allows A.R. Land to pursue sand and gravel mining and the development of a compost facility, despite the environmental concerns raised by neighboring Riley Township. “If you vote to change the

zoning despite all the evidence, you are in my opinion not doing the job the people entrusted you to do,” Riley Supervisor Karen Schnable read in a statement to the council Tuesday. Earlier this year, Schnable persuaded the McHenry-Lake Soil and Water Conservation District to intervene with Marengo’s annexation deal with A.R. Land. After a dispute with city officials, the conservation district eventually was allowed to canvass A.R. Land’s 340 acres and examine the soil’s ability to support future development. District officials released its findings earlier this month in a natural resourc-

es report that raised concerns about the possibility of groundwater contamination. The conservation district cautioned that A.R. Land’s proposed 40-acre compost facility would need to be carefully executed to not disturb the groundwater. Two-thirds of the site rezoned general business also is unbuildable because of groundwater issues, the report found. Despite Schnable echoing those concerns Tuesday, the council approved the changes with a strong majority. H.R. Green, the city’s contracted engineers, also endorsed the zoning changes after reviewing the natural resources report.

On third trip, Urbanski to spelling bee semis By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com WASHINGTON – Antelopes and flowers were the tickets to Lucas Urbanski’s trip to the semifinals of the 86th Scripps National Spelling Bee. The Crystal Lake seventh-grader successfully spelled “hartebeest,” an African antelope, and “phlox,” a North American plant, Wednesday. The two correct spellings combined with his performance on computerized tests Tuesday gave Urbanski a

total of 32 out of 36 points, making him one of 42 spellers – including three others from Illinois – Lucas that will comUrbanski pete in front of a national audience Thursday on ESPN2. A computer test that he took Wednesday evening will figure into whether he makes the finals Thursday evening. The computer tests included a vocabulary portion for the first time. Michael Urbanski, Lucas’

father, texted an example of one of the words his son has been able to overcome in the computerized test: ouagadougou. Tackling difficult words such as that gave Michael Urbanski and his son confidence that more was in reach. The semifinals will be broadcast live starting at 1 p.m. Thursday on ESPN2. The finals are scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday on ESPN. Urbanski made it to the competition for a third consecutive year after fending off a strong challenge from Scarlett Costello during

the McHenry County Spelling Bee. A speller must win school, regional and county bees to qualify for nationals. The Immanuel Lutheran student is coming off a 51st-place finish in 2012. He missed making the semifinals by one point that year. The year before he missed it by two points. “We’re elated,” Michael Urbanski said. “It’s been three years that he’s been fortunate enough to get here. Third time really is the charm.” The winner gets $30,000 in cash and prizes and a trophy.

Algonquin officials, developer draft plan By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Village officials and a developer proposing a new subdivision are working on an annexation agreement that, if approved, would allow the development to be built along the Fox River. Village officials and the developer of the proposed River Ridge Estates along North River Road have put together a draft annexation agreement. Final terms of the agreement are subject to negotiation and need approval from the Village Board. Greg Pantos, the managing member of the AK Group, wants to build the River Ridge Estates subdivision with 25 custom single-family homes. The houses would be a minimum of 3,000 square feet for two-story homes, and 2,500 square feet for ranches. The homes will have three-car garages and starting prices around $700,000.

Swierk was on court supervision • SWIERK Continued from page B1 Swierk’s attorney, Public Defender Rick Behoff, said none of the pictures show the two engaged in sexual activity. At the time of his arrest

on the sexual abuse charges, Swierk was on court supervision for a misdemeanor aggravated assault charge in which he allegedly displayed a knife at a drive-through window at an Island Lake Dunkin’ Donuts after someone called him a pedophile, Metnick said.

Swierk last was living at 1517 Ramble Road in McHenry, but he told Graham he would return to live with his wife and 6-year-old son in Brookfield if released on a lower bond. Swierk remains in jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. His next court date is June 6.

ISLAND LAKE: ZONING HEARING

Meeting with Rimas developers postponed By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – A zoning hearing on a development opposed by Island Lake’s new village president has been postponed. The hearing originally was scheduled for Thursday evening, but the developers, Island Lake Properties LLC, asked for the hearing to be pushed back to the regularly scheduled Plan Commission meeting in August, Village Clerk Teresa Ponio said. They would like a chance to meet with the new village president and village board

about the proposed annexation and rezoning request before the hearing process continues, Ponio said. Under the proposal, the Rimas Lodge property, a stretch of about 153 acres at the northwest corner of Route 176 and River Road and on both sides of River Road at Burnett Road in unincorporated McHenry County, would be developed with both single-family and multifamily residences, as well as commercial uses. Two hearings, one in late March and the second in early April, drew so many people that they had to meet in a big-

ger location. Opponents of the development pointed to overcrowding around nearby Griswold Lake and potential water issues, including flooding that could result from homes set on wetlands. Charles Amrich, who was running for the village presidency at the time, came out against the development, saying the village needs to focus on filling existing, vacant storefronts and foreclosed homes. Amrich and the attorney for Island Lake Properties LLC did not return phone calls Wednesday evening.

The McHenry firm agreed that A.R. Land’s soil raised concerns about future development but added the site still has developable land, City Manager Gary Boden said. State and environmental regulators are the ones who

will dictate whether A.R. Land can pursue its land-use changes, once the company decides to ramp up the development efforts, Boden said. “There are so many controls these days on groundwater and soil that are way above our authority,” Boden said. “H.R. Green put a perspective on it that there are legitimate concerns but not ones that are unresolvable.”

The answer didn’t satisfy Schnable, who argued that Marengo was ditching its responsibilities toward residents. “They are going to let another government agency regulate their land and decide where to make development,” Schnable said. “They are passing the buck. They shouldn’t rely on someone else to make that decision.”

Projects would be built at same time • ALGONQUIN Continued from page B1 The proposed plan has riverfront improvements, including a riverwalk, individual boat slips for each new lot, and a seawall along the river to help with erosion. AK Group also is planning an 8-foot-wide bike lane from North River Road to the Prairie Path subdivision. Pantos has said he expects the project to take three to five years to build out, depending on how well the houses sell. A lot depends on the strength of the housing market, Pantos said, but the inventory of new homes is going down. The draft annexation agreement calls for River

Ridge and the planned Prairie Path subdivision, which is to the southeast, to be built at the same time. “It will be desirable to start this development in conjunction with the Prairie Path subdivision,” the agreement reads. Having the projects constructed at the same time would allow River Ridge to connect to a planned water main for the Prairie Path subdivision. “Both parties want to do the projects at one time,” Pantos said. If River Ridge proceeds before construction of Prairie Path, Pantos would agree to secure the proper easements and recapture agreements to run utilities through the Prairie Path subdivision and

make the connection along Highland Avenue. Details of the plan would be worked out during the final engineering, according to the draft agreement. “I’m confident we can work together and work together well,” Pantos said. The village also may want to extend an arterial water main through both River Ridge and Prairie Path, and that would be incorporated into the final design. Under the draft agreement, space between two lots will be made available for 10 years for the extension of River Drive. Pantos also is willing to donate 2.5 acres of land for a park in the subdivision, according to the draft agreement.

Betty remained politically active by writing letters to several local, state and national politicians including Bill Clinton, George W.

CROSSTOWN CLASSIC: CUBS 9, WHITE SOX 3

Navarro’s 3 homers rock Sox CHICAGO – Dioner Navarro, superstitious to his core, anxiously waited for his lost bat to make its way down from the Wrigley Field grandstand and back to the field. The bat slipped Next out of his hands during his sixth White Sox at Cubs, inning at-bat, 1:20 p.m. Thursday, landing nine rows WGN, CSN, AM-720, behind the Cubs’ dugout. Luckily AM-670 for Navarro, the fan was willing to give back the bat that had launched two home runs into the left field bleachers Wednesday against White Sox pitcher John Danks. Although Navarro walked on the next pitch, he stepped to the plate in the seventh wielding that same bat and hoping for more magic. Navarro got his wish. He crushed a 92 mph fastball from Sox reliever Brian Omogrosso onto Sheffield Avenue for a three-run homer, Navarro’s third home run of the game. It marked the first multihomer game of Navarro’s career, and he finished with six RBIs in the Cubs’ 9-3 win against the Sox. His performance earned him the first curtain call of his career after his third home run and a shaving cream pie to the face after the game. Navarro said he didn’t approach his seventh-inning at-bat trying to hit another homer.

WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS, GAME 7: BLACKHAWKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (OT)

Delayed justice

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook (center, looking up) celebrates with his teammates after scoring the winning goal in overtime in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center. The Hawks won, 2-1, to advance to the conference finals against Los Angeles.

Now is Hawks’ time after OT win CHICAGO – Everyone who had gathered around Brent Seabrook nodded in agreement. Seven hours remained until the puck dropped on a winnertake-all Game 7 between the Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings, and Seabrook was holding court with a few reporters. Usually, he said, games of this magnitude came down to goals of the unsightly variety. “It’s probably going to be an ugly goal that wins it tonight,” Seabrook said. Uh, yeah, no. That game-winning goal in overtime was beautiful, Brent.

VIEWS Tom Musick Can I call you Brent? I don’t care. I’m calling you Brent. And I’m calling the Hawks the on-again Stanley Cup favorites after Wednesday’s wild 2-1 win against the Red Wings to advance to the Western Conference finals. Bring on the defending champion Los Angeles Kings. Bring on back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday at the United Center

to start the series. And bring on a chair and a glass of water, because I might need to take a minute to regain my bearings after stressing through more than 63 minutes of “Tension On Ice.” Somehow, the Hawks regrouped from the worst possible call at the worst possible moment. Somehow, Seabrook carried the puck across the blue line and saw an opening for a wrist shot from 32 feet. Somehow, this crazy season feels as if it’s just getting started.

SOFTBALL: CLASS 3A ROCHELLE SECTIONAL

Marengo tops Rosary to reach final By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com ROCHELLE – Marengo softball coach Dwain Nance doesn’t want his team to get its local sports news from a newspaper. He would prefer they didn’t get it at all. Nance wants his players to focus solely on what they can affect, and the approach worked Wednesday. Marengo defeated Rosary, 6-1, in a Class 3A Rochelle Sectional semifinal. The Indians will face Sterling in the sectional final at 11 a.m. Saturday. Marengo (29-9) easily could have overlooked a Rosary team that entered Wednesday with a 13-18 record and started to worry about a second straight sectional final matchup with Sterling, but Nance kept them on track. He was

part of a 13-18 Kaneland team in 2000 that got hot during the postseason and made it to state, and he wasn’t going to let his team be underprepared in a similar situation. “I don’t let our kids look at the newspaper or anything,” Nance said. “A couple kids asked me what the score was of the Sterling game, but I Bethany Hart didn’t say a whole lot. Rosary didn’t come in with a good record, and its easy to overlook a team like that, but I told our kids that every team starts 0-0 this time of year.” The message got through to the players, as starting pitcher Bethany Hart was sharp from the start. She struck out six Royals hitters in the first three

innings and retired the first 10 batters she faced. Hart pitched all seven innings and recorded 13 strikeouts while walking one and giving up four hits. Three of those hits came in succession the the fourth inning, as the middle of the Royals’ order all singled to produce one run. But Hart settled down and allowed just one hit the rest of the way. “I was just feeling pretty good and pitching well,” Hart said. “Nance was calling some

good pitches, and I was feeling in control.” Hart’s success started from being mentally prepared, as she didn’t let thoughts about Rosary’s underwhelming record seep into her head. “We have to respect every opponent because they’re in the same game we,” the senior said. “So they had to have won the same amount of games as us [in the postseason] to get here, and we can’t take anyone lightly.” The Indians jumped on Rosary starter Cara Smoczynski and scored three runs in the bottom of the first with the help of a two-run double by Veronica Ruelius. During her next at-bat, Ruelius launched a line drive over the fence in left-center for a solo home run with two outs to give Marengo a 4-1 lead. “She hit my curveball,”

Smoczynski said of the double, “and the [home run pitch] was a drop ball that hung.” The explosive offense highlighted by Ruelius’ three RBIs was enough for Hart, who overpowered the Royals’ hitters. She was helped by a few solid defensive plays, which left the Royals wondering what else they could do. To lead off the third inning, Katherine Witte looked to have broken up Hart’s early no-hitter when she hit a ball sharply to right field at the end of a 10-pitch at-bat, but Ruelius charged the ball and threw out Witte at first. “I thought Witte’s at-bat typified what was going on early,” Royals coach John Kazmierczak said. “She had a great at-bat and hit a rope to right field and [Ruelius] made a great play and threw her out, and that hurt.”

LACROSSE: IHSLA CLASS B STATE PLAYOFFS

Upset-minded C-G falls short Lake Zurich rallies into semifinals By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com LAKE ZURICH – The Cary-Grove lacrosse team did everything to give itself a shot. The Trojans got a first-quarter hat trick from a less-than-likely source in senior midfielder Mitch Zoellner. They got a strong performance on defense and in the net from freshman Dylan Cost. And they took a two-goal lead into the final quarter. None of that, however, was enough to earn a win. Lake Zurich’s Justin Dwiel scored with just more than a minute remaining to end the Trojans’ season in an 8-7 Bears win at Lake Zurich’s Mel Eide Field. “It’s a disappointing way to go out, but this was a great season,” Zoellner said. “It was an amazing experience for all of us tonight.” The seventh-seeded Trojans (13-5) finished their first season in the IHSLA in the Class B quarterfinals, while second-seeded Lake Zurich will face Grayslake Central in the semifinals Thursday. C-G coach Dylan Weber

said his team didn’t change its approach a lot with a 7-5 lead heading into the final quarter. But Lake Zurich’s David Finney was able to score twice in the first three minutes to even things, where it sat until Dwiel put it away with his fourth goal with 1:04 left. “We were just trying to take the smartest shot selection possible,” Weber said. “It was still the same game plan. We just didn’t get enough.” The Trojans lost, 6-3, in the first meeting between the schools. This time, after Dwiel’s first goal, the Trojans came back and gained control briefly before things evened up at halftime. “[What Zoellner did] was something you can’t coach,” Weber said. “It was just our guys seeing the openings and taking advantage of it.” Trevor Dorn added two goals, and Holden Taylor and Clint Cost added a goal apiece. Alec Johnson had the Trojans’ only assist. “We were just working as a team and moving the ball well,” Zoellner said.

Dundee-Crown’s Zach Girard (center) celebrates with his team after scoring a run during the second inning of Wednesday’s Class 4A Huntley Sectional semifinal against Prairie Ridge. D-C won, 15-4.

D-C went 8-18 in regular season • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 “Zach got that hit on the first pitch. That got everybody fired up right away,” Muscat said. “After that, we just kept hitting.” The only D-C batter who did not reach first was cleanup hitter Luis Garcia, in his second at-bat, when he struck out against reliever Caleb Senyshyn. “I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game. I didn’t expect a 10-spot in the first,” Pecoraro said. “That was a shocker. We went with Buchta because he’s a ground-ball pitcher who

keeps it down in the zone. They put the barrel on the ball, they found holes and we didn’t. I tip my hat to them.” Prairie Ridge gained some momentum with a pair of two-out runs in the first, but D-C coach Jon Anderson had a quick hook with sophomore starter Jared Ludwig. His junior brother came in and held the Wolves (25-12) to one run in four innings. “It’s one of those games where your season ends [if you lose], and we didn’t want to get caught in a situation where they get a big inning,” Anderson said. “Ahren did a nice job coming in and throwing strikes

and settling down a little bit.” Ahren Ludwig retired 10 of 11 batters until allowing a pair of two-out hits in the fifth, when Chase Bloch came in to finish. “I just had the mindset I was going to pitch today,” Ahren Ludwig said. “[Jared] was looking good in the bullpen. I was warming up right next to him. I just wanted to back him up and do it for my team. It just wasn’t his day today.” The Chargers were 8-18 in the regular season and finished seventh in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division. Now they are one of the final two Valley teams standing.

Jacobs becomes scary team to face as bats heat up By JOE STEVENSON Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray figured all along if his team produced offensively at the right time it could be dangerous. The Golden Eagles picked the ideal time get hot at the plate. They have scored 50 runs in their past seven games, 17 in two regional games last week, and have advanced farther than any team in school history. Jacobs (23-11) meets Hononegah (23-8) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in a semifinal at the Class 4A Huntley Sectional. The winner advances to Sat-

urday’s 10 a.m. championship against Dundee-Crown. “I always knew if the bats came alive, we’d have a nice combination,” Murray said. “In a two-game series, we have nice arms. We have the pitchers to be successful. We’re getting timely hits and there’s a lot of confidence right now.” Jacobs has scored at least five runs in each of its past seven games. The Eagles tagged Crystal Lake South ace Tyler Hall early last week and defeated the Gators, 8-5. They then beat Barrington, 9-3, in the Jacobs Regional championship game. “Maybe it was those couple days before South when we

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia – Three months after wrestling got kicked out of the 2020 Olympics, the ancient sport is back in the frame and will compete against baseball-softball and squash for a spot in the games. Of eight sports competing for a place on the 2020 program, five were eliminated – karate, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and the Chinese martial art of wushu. The IOC executive board decided to recommend wrestling, squash and baseball-softball to the full IOC assembly for a final decision Sept. 8 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Only one will get through.

Patriots’ Gronkowski to have disk surgery New England tight end Rob Gronkowski will have back surgery on a disk in mid-June. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Gronkowski will undergo the surgery next month, which means he will miss the rest of offseason training activities with the Patriots. He could return for training camp at the end of July. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Patriots do not reveal injury details publicly.

just took batting practice and it was relaxed,” Jacobs left fielder Connor Conzelman said. “It was a loose day. It’s coming together at a great time that everybody’s bats are on fire.” No one is hotter than Conzelman. The last two games of the regular season didn’t mean much, but Conzelman found his stroke there and drove in seven runs in the regional victories. “I felt I was tense at the plate,” he said. “Before the Carmel game, I changed my stance a little, I was more relaxed with my hands.” Conzelman had an RBI in the first and second against South. He homered and sin-

gled in his first two at-bats against Barrington, knocking in five runs. “It really gives the pitchers confidence,” Jacobs righthander Evan Blunk said. “It’s easier to pitch with a few runs when you’re leading the whole game. We all have been playing together a long time and have good chemistry.” It would be Blunk’s turn to start against Hononegah, although Nick Ledinsky pitched the championship game Saturday and could work on four days’ rest. Junior Reilly Peltier also will be ready. Murray used a math analogy for the Eagles with their schedule this season. He felt

this team had high potential, so he wanted a “calculus schedule” and not an “algebra schedule.” He looked for tough teams outside the already rugged Fox Valley Conference Valley Division games the Eagles played. On a trip to Peoria early in the season, rain forced the Eagles to work out inside instead of playing. It also allowed time for bonding. and Murray wanted them to chart their outcome goals. Winning a regional topped that list. “Trying to get to state was near the top,” Blunk said. “We had a lot of confidence going into this season. We still have a long way to go.”

BASEBALL: CLASS 3A GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL SECTIONAL

Richmond-Burton leans on senior pitcher Blanton in playoffs By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Richmond-Burton senior Ryne Blanton has never lost in a regional game in three years on the Rockets’ varsity baseball team. Blanton believes that statistic belies the achievement ever so slightly. “When you see us in the postseason, some people may say it’s easy, but three years in a row is really hard,” Blanton said. “It’s a testament to our coaches for preparing us for a good run at the end of the year.”

Blanton, who plays shortstop and pitches, and catcher Matt Malecki are 9-2 in the postseason since 2011. Rockets coach Mike Giese leans on them daily as the Rockets (16-13) meet Wauconda (19-7) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in a Class Ryne Blanton 3A Grayslake Central Sectional semifinal. The winner advances to Saturday’s 11 a.m. championship game against Grayslake Central.

This regional title may have been the toughest of the three, given the

talented senior class the Rockets graduated, led by Northwest Herald Player of the Year E.J. Trapino, who now pitches at Wright State. Still, the Rockets had Malecki behind the plate and Blanton on the mound and at shortstop. “Those guys are crucial,” Giese said. “Matt and Ryne have been our anchors. They’re like two coaches on the field. These guys have been through it. Their expectations have been key this year.” Malecki has had only two bases stolen on him as a catcher. Blan-

ton started his high school career projected as a position player, but evolved into a pitcher after a standout junior season. He will pitch next year at Madison Area Technical College. “We know how to act and we’ve been in all the situations you can imagine,” Blanton said. “We’re starting to see this is real. Our coaches tell guys we don’t play for those Saturday morning doubleheaders [during the season]. We play for the regional and sectional championships and getting to state.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Chapter closes on longtime rivalry By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com

AP photo

The Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw (right) checks the Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall into the boards in the first period Wednesday.

Hawks quick hits WHAT WORKED The Hawks’ third line: The combination of Andrew Shaw, Brandon Saad and Viktor Stalberg was among the Hawks’ most active and effective lines. Stalberg, who was benched for Games 1 and 2, led the Hawks with six shots. Corey Crawford: Crawford picked up where he left off after a strong third period in Game 6. With the Hawks’ defense less than stalwart, Crawford kept the Hawks in the game, making 26 saves. The Hawks’ mental approach: Somehow, coach Joel Quenneville managed to keep his players loose after falling behind in the series, 3-1. In winning three straight, the Hawks played with a perfect combination of urgency and relaxed confidence.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK The Hawks’ power play: The string of futility with a man advantage was evident again in Game 7 as the Hawks went 0 for 4 on power play chances and is clearly something that needs to be addressed before the Western Conference finals. The Hawks’ efforts to clear the puck: Misplayed pucks – including by Johnny Oduya early in the third period – allowed the Red Wings to get chances they likely shouldn’t have had. Brent Seabrook: The defenseman again struggled as he has throughout the series and again proved to be more of a liability on the ice, contributing to some of the defensive issues the Hawks had. Of course, then he makes up for it with the game-winning goal.

STARS OF THE GAME Corey Crawford: 26 saves, including a few with a crowded crease and plenty of pressure around him. Viktor Stalberg: Clearly unfazed by his benching earlier in the series, the Swede was active, helping set up shots. Brent Seabrook: Game-winner in overtime. – Jeff Arnold

CHICAGO – Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock would welcome another opportunity to meet the Blackhawks in the playoffs. That’s because the next series between the teams would take place in the Stanley Cup Final. As part of the NHL’s realignment plan for next season, the Red Wings will move to the Eastern Conference, while the Hawks will remain in the Western Conference. “I’ve mentioned already I really like this city,” said Babcock, an admirer of Chicago’s restaurants as well as its hockey team. “They have high-end players, and I like the way they play because they play fast. Their captain, to me, is what a

captain should be. He’s respectful of the game. He does things right. “So, there’s lots of great things about it. It reminds me of our franchise in lots of ways.” The Hawks first faced the Wings in the playoffs in 1934, when Harold “Mush” March scored in overtime of Game 4 to give the Hawks their first Stanley Cup title. All told, the Hawks and Wings have met in 16 playoff series and 81 playoff games. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said a Game 7 for the right to go to the conference finals marked an appropriate ending to the latest chapter of the teams’ rivalry. “You look at the tradition and the history between the two teams – regular-season

games, playoff series, battles, wars, Norris Division series, and you come down to a Game 7 to end it,” Quenneville said. “It’s fitting for an amazing history. Like I said at the top of the series, we’d always like to play them going forward every year, but we’ll see.” Agree to disagree: Although the coaches agreed their teams’ rivalry was special, they differed (at least publicly) when it came to the importance of goaltending in Game 7. Quenneville said goaltenders were in the spotlight for any game, but that spotlight was extra bright when it came to the deciding game of a playoff series. “You look at any Game 7,” Quenneville said, “[and] you can almost change the name of the game from ‘hockey’ to call

Hawks irate after goal disallowed • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Everything could have collapsed on the Hawks after referee Stephen Walkom ruled he had blown his whistle to stop play a moment before Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson blasted a slap shot past Wings’ goaltender Jimmy Howard with 1:49 remaining in regulation. The ruling infuriated a sellout crowd of 22,103 fans, not to mention 20 players in Hawks sweaters who thought that they had seized a 2-1 lead. But in the Hawks’ locker room, captain Jonathan Toews had a message for his teammates before overtime. “Tazer said, ‘Stick with it. It’s our time,’ ” goaltender Corey Crawford said. Well, Toews said that and more. He was angry about Hjalmarsson’s

nongoal and told his teammates to add to a Hawks lead he thought rightfully existed. “I said, ‘We’ll beat them, 3-1,’ ” Toews said with a grin. “ ‘Hammer’ was the unsung hero. He scored a big goal. We were obviously pretty [ticked off] that the whistle blew right before that one went in, but we weren’t going to go away that way.” Not this team. Perhaps nobody needed the intermission more than Hjalmarsson, who used the break to catch his breath and corral his emotions after Walkom waved off his goal. “I almost threw my stick up in the crowd,” said Hjalmarsson, a typically mild-mannered Swede. “I got pretty mad. … Kind of a roller-coaster there.” For what it’s worth, teammates enjoyed the show. “It was actually pretty

funny seeing [Hjalmarsson] hopping around like that,” center Dave Bolland said with his trademark Wry Canada grin. “When we came in the room, we were calm. We were confident that when we went out there for OT that we were going to come through. “We’ve got a confident team. With the depth that we have, we can do damage out there.” Damage despite a 3-1 series deficit. Damage despite a hot-and-verycold power play. Damage despite a determined opponent, a horribly timed call and its possible big-picture consequences. The Hawks stuck with it. It’s their time. • Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @tcmusick.

it ‘goalie.’ ” Babcock said many factors in addition to goaltending played a role in Game 7. “I think the 19 other guys, they kind of think they’re involved, too,” Babcock said, diverting attention from the goaltender. “So let’s not get too carried away here.” Rookie nerves: Brandon Saad tried to relax at his locker after the Hawks’ morning skate. It wasn’t easy. Saad, 20, had no experience to draw from when it came to Game 7s. “Never,” Saad said. “Never in junior or anything else.” Was he nervous? “A little bit,” Saad said. “But the last couple of games have been elimination games. Even though it wasn’t Game 7, you kind of take the same approach.”

Hawks Insider BLACKHAWKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (OT) Tipping point: In overtime, with the Hawks’ record-setting season at stake, fourth-line forward Dave Bolland delivered a hit to jar the puck loose from Wings center Gustav Nyquist. The puck ended up on Brent Seabrook’s stick, and he skated across the blue line before firing a wrist shot from the high slot. The shot beat Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard glove-side to prompt happy mayhem among a sellout crowd of 22,103 fans at the United Center. Lamplighters: Besides Seabrook’s first goal of the playoffs, Patrick Sharp netted his seventh goal on a well-designed play in the second period. Sharp dished the puck to Michal Handzus, who fed it to Marian Hossa, who returned it to Sharp for the blast that gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead. Between the pipes: Corey Crawford stopped 26 of 27 shots, including a point-blank opportunity by Wings center Cory Emmerton late in the game. Under the radar: After spending much of the series on the bench, Hawks forward Viktor Stalberg registered a postseason-high six shots on goal in 10:18 of ice time. – Tom Musick

CHICAGO – Japanese right-hander Kyuji Fujikawa was signed by the Cubs to be the man in the bullpen. Earning at least $9.5 million over the next two seasons came with the expectation Fujikawa would be the man to shut down the opposition and secure the win in the ninth inning as the Cubs’ closer. Instead, his Cubs career could be grounded before it ever truly took off. An MRI revealed Fujikawa needs Tommy John surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will miss at least the rest of this season. “I was definitely disappointed, but it’s kind of my style to always have that

Cubs reliever Kyuji Fujikawa needs surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. worst case scenario in mind,” Fujikawa said through a translator. “I gave it all out [on the field] and I don’t have any regrets.” On his 35th and final pitch of Sunday’s game at Cincinnati – ball four to Joey Votto – Fujikawa felt discomfort in his right forearm and came out of the game. He was initially put on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a

muscle strain of his right forearm, the same injury that landed him on the DL in April. Asked if he believed there was a specific reason for his injury, Fujikawa said “getting injured is a reality so I don’t think we need to dig into that.” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said there were no indications his first forearm injury led to the ligament

damage. Although Hoyer was cautiously optimistic about Fujikawa’s injury Monday, the 32-year-old told Japanese reporters he felt a pop when he threw his last pitch to Votto. “The thing about him saying he felt a pop, to be candid, I think we were hoping that it might have been something that maybe got lost in translation or changed in translation, but obviously I think he was right,” Hoyer said. Fujikawa’s injury leaves the Cubs’ bullpen in a bit of a bind. As their setup man, Fujikawa had done a good job of getting the ball to closer Kevin Gregg with the Cubs’ lead still intact since coming off the DL. Now manager Dale Sveum will have to mix and match in the seventh and eighth innings. Carlos Marmol, Rafael Dolis and Carlos Villanueva will be the primary options. Fujikawa’s surgery has not been scheduled, but he will likely be out at least 12 months. Fujikawa is set to make $4 million next season

though he can make more money if he is the Cubs closer. Sveum said it is too early to think about what his role would be next season, however the assumption when Fujikawa signed was that the closer job was his – especially since Marmol is currently in the final year of his deal. Fujikawa has proved, when healthy, he has the talent to compete in the majors. In his seven outings since coming off his first DL stint, Fujikawa had a 1.17 ERA and struck out 10 batters while walking only one (Votto) in 7 2/3 innings. What appeared to be a great signing with all of the Cubs’ bullpen troubles now seems to be a lost investment. “The hard thing about this is we were getting pretty excited about what he could do for us because he was throwing the ball well, was missing a lot of barrels, a lot of bats,” Hoyer said. “So the timing is disappointing, but we’re confident we’ll get a really good pitcher back next year.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

Sale upset about Tuesday’s rain-shortened start By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – White Sox left-hander Chris Sale is searching for positives after his first start in nearly two weeks was cut short because of rain. Sale felt fine after throwing 37 pitches against the Cubs in Tuesday’s postponed game and experienced normal tightness Wednesday. Still bummed a day later that his start was cut short, Sale was glad he began building his pitch count. “When I did start throwing, it was more to just get

it loose instead of trying to build,” Sale said. “We’ll see how it goes this next week.” The Sox considered starting Sale a day earlier than scheduled on normal rest Sunday at Oakland, but they determined there was nothing to Chris Sale gain by doing so. “It’s a break for him, because he gets a test run – heck, we were losing the game 2-0, so that’s certainly a little break for us, and the

Mitterwald last Cubs catcher to hit 3 HRs • CUBS Continued from page C1 “It crosses your mind a little bit after you hit two, especially having limited playing time,” Navarro said. “Fortunately, I got a good hitter’s count, 2-0, and I went for it and I was fortunate enough to hit it out of the ballpark.” The switch-hitting Navarro couldn’t stop smiling after the game, and for good reason – he recorded single-game career highs in home runs, RBIs and runs scored (four). He also became the first Cubs catcher since George Mitterwald in 1974 to hit three home runs in a game. Navarro plans to keep using Wednesday’s bat, but if it breaks at some point, he said with a smile, “I’m gonna cry.” Navarro’s power display impressed his teammates, including first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who likened his performance to Navarro’s favorite soccer player, Lionel Messi, scoring a hat trick. Navarro became the first Cub to homer from both sides of the plate since Mark Bellhorn in 2002. “That was awesome,” Rizzo said. “That last one was a bomb. It’s going to be hard to

put on an encore tomorrow.” Manager Dale Sveum curtailed any expectations of Navarro earning more playing time because of Wednesday’s performance. In one game, Navarro matched the number of home runs he had hit in his previous 55 at-bats this season. “That was a pretty special day, something he’ll never forget,” Sveum said. “ … [Welington] Castillo’s our starting catcher, let’s not get carried away with a guy having a great game.” For his part, Navarro is OK with his role backing up Castillo and being one of Sveum’s first pinch-hitting options. After all, why mess with what’s working? “We know what [the situation] is,” Navarro said. “I’m really happy with the position I’m in right now. Welington’s been doing a really good job for us.” • Meghan Montemurro covers the White Sox and Cubs for Shaw Media. Write to her at mmontemurro@ shawmedia.com.

Cubs 9, White Sox 3 Tipping point: Cubs catcher Dioner Navarro took advantage of a rare start to hit three home runs and drive in six runs in the Cubs’ win. While the White Sox managed nine hits, pitcher Scott Feldman held them to two runs. On the mound: Feldman picked up his sixth win in a six-inning outing and improved to 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his past seven starts. Sox lefthander John Danks made his second start of the season but didn’t last beyond the fourth inning. He allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and surrendered two homers to Navarro. At the plate: Navarro became the first Cubs catcher since George Mitterwald in 1974 to hit three home runs. He also homered from both sides of the plate, the first Cubs player to do so since Mark Bellhorn in 2002. Tyler Flowers, Alejandro De Aza and Adam Dunn drove in runs for the Sox. Under the radar: The Cubs have won four consecutive interleague games, which last happened in 2009. They also have won four of their past five games against the Sox. The Sox are 4-6 during interleague play this season. – Meghan Montemurro

bullpen guys get another day to recoup,” pitching coach Don Cooper said. Choices at first base: Playing at Wrigley Field forced Sox manager Robin Ventura into a tough spot. Without the designated hitter, Ventura needed to choose who would start at first base Wednesday against the Cubs: regular starter Paul Konerko or Adam Dunn. Both have great numbers against the Cubs. Dunn’s 43 career home runs are the second-most among active players trailing Albert Pujols’ 53 homers. In 33 career games at Wrigley, Konerko owns a

.304 average with seven home runs and 24 RBIs. Ventura decided Dunn was the better option coming off a quick turnaround from Tuesday’s rain-delayed, then postponed game. Konerko will be back in the Sox’s lineup Thursday against Cubs left-hander Travis Wood. “You flip a coin with both of them as far as putting them in there,” Ventura said. “You can only play one of them. You can put Dunn in left [field], but I don’t know if today’s the day to do that.” Beckham update: Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham will resume his rehab

today at Triple-A Charlotte. Beckham suffered a minor setback when he experienced soreness in his left wrist stemming from surgery to remove the hamate bone. As a precaution, the Sox kept Beckham out of Charlotte’s lineup until he felt better. Ventura believes Beckham will be ready to rejoin the Sox after their six-game road trip to Oakland and Seattle. “[Wednesday] he’s probably taking batting practice and going through a regular pregame,” Ventura said. “ … I don’t see him making it back when we’re in Seattle.”

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

FRIDAY

By STEVE SARLEY sportsdesk@nwherald.com Woodstock’s Tim Oman has a passion for fishing. One day in 2008, he was playing a round of golf with Alan Ott, an area dog trainer who has a passion for hunting. They were kicking around ideas for a fundraiser for the Woodstock Morning Rotary Club, and the seeds of the Great Outdoors Expo were planted. The first Great Outdoors Expo was at McHenry County College, and the ensuing four editions, including this year’s in February, were at Woodstock North High School. Over the five years, the GOE raised more than $60,000 for Shelterbox, which helps families made homeless by disasters, polio research and local charities. After five years, however, the exhibiition will not continue. “We’ve staged our final Great Outdoors Expo,” Oman said. ”We are proud of what we’ve been able to raise for charity. It is just that we had to weigh the time, energy and effort put in by all of the volunteers. “The funds raised were just not enough for the effort extended. We loved the event, but we feel that we could raise as much money doing other things that don’t require the man hours our group had to put in. Yes, we grew each year, we just didn’t grow enough.” Oman joined the Rotary Club in 2005 after being invited to one of its golf outings. He arrived with a friend and was impressed with the

organization’s people. “I quickly decided that this was a group I wanted to be involved with,” Oman said. “I really liked what they were attempting to do to be of benefit to our community.” The 48-year-old Oman, a financial adviser, lives in Woodstock with his wife of 22 years, Donna, and their two sons, Tyler, 11, and Trevor, 8. Oman loves to fish for all species. He is a big fan of Shabbona Lake south of DeKalb for largemouth bass. He hits the area forest preserve ponds and lakes with his sons as often as possible for panfish. He heads to Wisconsin’s Chip-

pewa Flowage near Hayward every year to chase the elusive muskie. Oman also tries to make it to northwest Ontario every other year. Tim’s passion for fishing gave him the drive to stage a top-quality local outdoors show. He was the chairman the first couple of years, and then the leadership of the show had to be spread out among a number of committee members because of the excessive workload. “Tim is a great guy,” said Woodstock’s Hall of Fame angler, Spence Petros. “He works so hard to make the Expo a success. Rotary is a great group, and the charities are good ones.”

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley because it is more than likely that the fish is going to give you a second opportunity to catch it. A few weeks back, Spence Petros mentioned his success using Wedgies, a plastic bait that is deadly for panfish through the ice or open water. Many of you have asked where to obtain this bait. Wedgies are made and sold by a Racine gentleman named “Plastic Joe” Moreau. They’re available in forty colors. Spence’s favorites are: motor oil and red; plain red; chartreuse; and dark purple with gold. Joe’s phone number is 262554-8830.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois • Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “Both largemouth and smallmouth can be caught at Vulcan Lakes at the Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake on drop shot rigs, Yamamoto Senkos or Rapala DT-6 and DT10 crankbaits. I am getting fair reports on northern pike using large golden roach minnows on the Fox Chain and Fox River. Catfishing remains good using cut bait on the bottom near current breaks. Bluegills are in the shallows spawning and can be caught on waxworms or redworms. Lake Geneva and Lake Delavan bass fishing has been as good as it gets.” Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports. • From Honest John’s Fishing report from C.J. Smith’s on the Fox Chain: “The lakes are back to normal and tons of fish are being caught. Crappies are really biting well. The shallow channels are producing nice numbers. This week’s hot spot is the side channel off of the channel between Petite and Fox Lake, under the little bridge. Small fatheads

tipped on a Mini-Mite jig are working well. Largemouth Bass are being caught everywhere, but unfortunately many of them are only 12 to 13 inches. The channels all around Spring Lake are producing some nice ones. Small to medium crank baits and assorted plastics are tempting them. The walleyes are biting. The Spring Lake bridge is a hot spot or try drifting the sandbar in Lake Marie. The current under the bridge is just what walleyes like. Try XL fatheads or leeches for some real action. Whopper Catfish are being caught and the channels are the places to be. Nightcrawlers, stink bait or shrimp are all good bait choices. Bluegills are coming on strong in the shallow channels too. Trout worms are working well or use a #10 hook tipped with a redworm or waxworm. • For up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River, visit foxwaterway. state.il.us/ or call 847-587-8540.

Lake Michigan • Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters (ALakeMichiganCharter.com) says: “Fishing on Lake Michigan has continued to be very good this past week. Most of the fish being caught are Coho salmon with a few steelheads mixed in. Small OO orange dodgers with blue/green/gold peanut flies tied 16” behind them are still the best bait. Cohoes are being caught in 45 to 200 feet of water. Fish the top 20 feet of the water column. Perch fishing has remained very poor.” • Call Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan Fishing Hotline at 414382-7920 to hear the latest fishing information for Lake Michigan and its tributaries.

Learn the correct way to use lure The majority of artificial lure baits, which I recently wrote about, are supposed to look like real food to the fish, things such as worms, crayfish and minnows. If a lure is supposed to look like a minnow, shouldn’t it act like one? Have you ever seen a real, live minnow wobble from side-to-side like an artificial minnow lure wobbles? I haven’t, but I understand why they are made to do that. The lure is meant to look like a crippled or dying minnow – an easy meal that stands out from the crowd of lively, healthy minnows. Have you ever seen a real minnow just stop still in the water? Better yet, have you seen a minnow stop still in the water right there on the surface? I have not. If that is the case, then why is the Bagley Bang-O Lure so effective? Beats me, but I’ve seen it work its magic many times. You cast it out, then give it a few cranks to get the slack out of the line. Now stop and wait while the circles of water around the lure fade away. It’s hard to be that patient, but it is a must. Now, give it a tug and reel in the new slack line, or just give it a couple of cranks. Repeat the pause. Don’t wait just a second or two, take your time. Now jerk the lure again or give it a couple more cranks. The big surprise is going to come when a big hungry bass decides to attack your Bang-O Lure. It will not happen when the lure is in motion, it will happen when it lies on top of the water motionless. When the strike comes, set the hook, and I mean set it hard – really hard. Don’t be afraid, you’re not going to hurt the fish. Use very sharp hooks and a nostretch superline like power Pro to get the best hookset. Now hold tight, start to crank and holler to your partner to get the net. If a fish attacks your Bang-O Lure but misses its target, don’t just reel in quickly and cast again. Keep repeating the process

Friend keeping confidences worried he’s about to crack Dear Abby: I am friendly with a married couple. The husband, “Grant,” is my best friend, and we talk about everything. His wife, “Sharon,” and I are equally close. Their wedding date was last summer. I have known for a while that Grant didn’t want to get married. He did it to please everyone around him. Sharon, however, was elated. He hoped after the wedding his feelings would change. Now that they have been married for nine months, Grant tells me he can’t continue on, that he is unhappy and no longer wants to be married. I have begged and pleaded with him to level with Sharon. He keeps making excuses about why he hasn’t told her yet. He says he’ll do it, but each day he moves the discussion further and further back. When I talk with her, she tells me she has the feeling he doesn’t want to be married anymore. Please help. This is stressing me out. I want to let Grant tell her, but I feel I should say something because he hasn’t. At the same time, I don’t want to have anyone mad at me. What should I do? – Caught In

The Middle Dear Caught: Step back and keep your mouth shut. You are in a no-win situation.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips It is Grant’s job to find the courage to tell his wife he made a mistake by marrying her. While it may be painful for her to hear, it probably won’t come as a shock, from what she’s telling you. You help neither of them by letting them discuss their marital problems with you instead of with each other. So do them both a favor and remove yourself from the middle. Dear Abby: When I was 15, I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, severe anxiety and social phobia. I am now 20 and have been on countless medications and tried different forms of therapy. I wish for nothing more than to be a fully functioning adult, but I am exhausted from trying my hardest to feel better internally only to find myself where I started. What’s your best advice for young adults dealing with crippling mental illness? How can we live our lives without fear of being rejected or shunned for our illness? –

Frustrated In Washington Dear Frustrated: There is still ignorance, stigma and

fear about mental illness mostly because it is misunderstood. However, 50 percent of adults will have a diagnosable mental illness at some time in their lives – including the ones you have. I discussed your letter with Dr. David Baron, psychiatrist in chief at the University of Southern California hospital. He suggested that I stress to you the importance of finding a mental health professional you can trust and confide in, and have another thorough evaluation done. In recent years, newer drugs and therapies are being used that may help you, so you shouldn’t give up. In a case such as yours, a combination of medication and talk therapy can be helpful. Dear Abby: I am a 7-yearold boy in the second grade. There is a girl named “Kate” in my class, and she wants to marry me. She sits next to me, and she is really annoying. What should I do? – Not

Ready To Settle Down Dear Ready: Start running. And if she appeals to you when you’re about 14, slow down.

Reduce systolic blood pressure with lifestyle changes, medication Dear Dr. K: I’m 71 years old. My systolic blood pressure is usually in the 150s to 160s, which is high. But my diastolic blood pressure is usually in the 70s, which is normal. Do I need treatment? Dear Reader: A blood pressure measurement includes two numbers: systolic pressure (the upper number) and diastolic pressure (the lower number). These numbers are measured in millimeters of mercury, or mmHg. Your systolic pressure is high: 140 mmHg or over is high. And your lower number is normal: normal diastolic pressure is below 80 mmHg. When your systolic blood pressure is high and your diastolic blood pressure is low, it’s called isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). People with ISH do benefit from treatment, as it lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke. Are you being treated for high blood pressure (hypertension)? If not, your doctor might start with lifestyle changes. Regular exercise, weight loss and cutting down on salt in your diet might fix the problem without medication. If lifestyle changes aren’t

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff enough, you’ll likely need medication. Because of your age, your doctor probably will aim to first gently lower your systolic pressure to below 150 mmHg. If you don’t have any bothersome symptoms, such as lightheadedness, your doctor will push to get your systolic pressure below 140 mmHg. Such treatment also is likely to lower your diastolic pressure, but the focus should be on your systolic pressure. I was taught three things in medical school: (1) all that really mattered was the diastolic pressure; (2) older people had naturally higher pressures, so they didn’t need treatment; and (3) when you treated older patients, it caused symptoms such as lightheadedness. Research since I was a medical student has shown conclusively that (1) and (2) are wrong. In fact, they were backward. Systolic pressure matters more than diastolic pressure, and older people clearly benefit from treat-

ment. People like you with just a high systolic pressure are at higher risk for having a heart attack, heart failure or a stroke if you don’t get treatment. That’s as true for a 71-year-old person like you as for a 50-year-old person – even more true, since you’re at higher risk for heart disease and stroke at age 71 than at age 50. It is true a minority of older patients develop symptoms if blood pressure is lowered too suddenly. But that’s why your doctor is likely to go slow. I learned that lesson many years ago when I started taking care of a woman in her late 70s who had ISH. She was not very receptive when I recommended treatment. She finally agreed, and I prescribed a standard dose of a blood pressure medicine. It made her quite dizzy, so she stopped taking it. It was six months before I could convince her to start again – on a lower dose. It worked like a charm.

Larry King is returning to TV with a political talk show beginning next month. The new program, “Politics With Larry King,” will air on the RT America network, a global, English-language channel based in Russia, the network announced Wednesday. No premiere date or broadcast schedule was specified. RT said it also would telecast “Larry King Now,” which debuted online on Hulu and Ora.TV last summer. Both programs will originate from Washington and Los Angeles. They will continue to stream on the Hulu and Ora.TV websites and will be available on rt.com.

At about 8 p.m. Monday, Bieber allegedly drove his white Ferrari at freeway speeds in what is a 25 mph zone, Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. Johnson was outside with his 3-year-old daughter, who was preparing to get into a small electric car when Bieber zoomed by. Johnson was upset and got into his Prius, following Bieber to his nearby home. As the garage door was closing, Johnson put out his arm and stopped it, telling Bieber he wanted to talk about his reckless driving. Whitmore said Bieber scurried into his home without speaking. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department received two calls and responded to the location. When they tried to talk to Bieber, however, they also were turned away. “His security detail said he declined to talk to us based on the advice of counsel,” Whitmore said. Deputies interviewed two witnesses, including Johnson, and wrote up their report. They handed that off to detectives who are continuing to investigate the incident. “Their eyewitness testimony to our deputies was definitive – not only the speed, not only the vehicle, but Mr. Bieber was sitting and driving in the driver’s side seat,” Whitmore said. Deputies plan to send a reckless driving report to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to consider filing misdemeanor charges.

CBS says Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Emmys again. It’s the second go-around for the TV, film and stage star. He last did the honors at the “Prime Time Emmy Awards” in 2009. CBS will air the Emmycast live from Los Angeles on Sept. 22. But for viewers who just can’t wait Neil Patrick Harris to see Harris in emcee mode, he’ll preside over “The 67th Annual Tony Awards” on CBS on June 9. It’s Harris’ fourth time hosting that show, which salutes the best of Broadway.

Liberace movie is tops for HBO A healthy number of HBO subscribers were curious about Michael Douglas’ performance as Liberace in the TV movie “Behind the Candelabra.” The Nielsen company said the 2.4 million people who tuned in to the movie’s premiere over the Memorial Day weekend represented the network’s biggest audience for one of its original movies since “Something the Lord Made” in 2004. Another 1.1 million people saw a repeat of the Liberace movie that began right after the first airing.

Amazon to produce 5 original shows Amazon says it will start production on a pair of new com-

edy shows and three new kids shows to air later this year and early next year on its video streaming service. The shows were chosen from pilots previously aired on Amazon’s Prime Instant Video service. They’re intended to help Amazon better compete with Netflix, which already produces a handful of shows. The comedies include “Alpha House,” created by Garry Trudeau and staring John Goodman. “Betas” follows four friends and their new mobile social networking app. The trio of kids shows includes “Annebots,” “Creative Galaxy” and “Tumbleaf.”

G4 to relaunch as Esquire Network The geek-flavored G4 channel will become the Esquire Network in September. NBC Universal on Wednesday announced the rebranded channel’s Sept. 23 launch date. The channel is the namesake of Esquire magazine and is aiming to draw a similar audience of upscale males. NBC Universal and Hearst Magazines are the partners behind the Esquire Network, which is a NBC Universal Cable Entertainment unit. Esquire Network’s lineup will include original programming including cooking and travel shows and a series about professional horse race handicappers and another about American breweries. It also will air reruns, including “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and “Parks and Recreation.”

HIGH-DIVIDEND STOCKS DUMPED NEW YORK – Stocks closed lower on Wall Street Wednesday as investors cut their holdings of high-dividend stocks they favored at the beginning of the year. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is near the highest it’s been in 13 months. That’s giving investors who want steady income an alternative to dividend-rich stocks like utilities. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 106 points to close 15,302 points Wednesday, giving back its gain from the day before. That’s a decline of 0.7 percent.

Robert Cormier Sr. hugs Illinois Bankers Association President and CEO Linda Koch at a ceremony where he was inducted into the Illinois Bankers Association 50 Year Club at Home State Bank in Crystal Lake. Looking on are Robert Regnerus, IBA senior banking adviser (left), and Home State Bank President and CEO Steven Slack (in background).

50-year career Cormier honored by Illinois Bankers Association NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Robert Cormier Sr., secretary of the Board of Directors of Home State Bank, has been inducted into the Illinois Bankers Association 50 Year Club. The prestigious 50 Year Club Pin was presented last week at the bank by Linda Koch, IBA president and CEO, and Robert Regnerus, IBA senior banking adviser. It is given to those individuals who have served the Illinois banking industry for 50 years or more. Cormier began his banking career as an officer trainee in 1963 at Home State Bank, 40 Grant St., Crystal Lake. He was elected bank president in 1991, and held that position for a decade before retiring from day-to-day activities. He is currently secretary of the bank’s Board of Directors. Noting that Cormier has served in virtually every position at Home State, Koch said, “You are showing other bankers that they can aspire to be bank presidents wherever they start in the institution.” Koch added, “We’re not only celebrating his past, but also so value the example you’ve set for so many leaders – new leaders and young, aspiring bankers to lead the way for them to be civic leaders and great banking leaders in our industry.” “I have seen a lot of changes in banking. It has been a fantastic experience,” Cormier said. “I’ve enjoyed Home State. It’s been like a family group, and I have to say it still is. “Everything is electronics and computers now. We had no computers back then,” Cormier said, noting that he oversaw the conversion from manual to computer systems. “I’ve done this all my life. I’ve really enjoyed it,” Cormier said.

Illinois Bankers Association President and CEO Linda Koch congratulates Robert Cormier Sr. for his induction into the Illinois Bankers Association 50 Year Club at Home State Bank in Crystal Lake.

About Home State Bank Home State Bank is the largest independently owned bank in McHenry County with approximately $600 million in assets. Receiving its charter in September 1915, Home State employs about 200 associates who provide trust, commercial lending, leasing, retail banking and mortgage services. For more information, visit www.homestbk.com.

Cormier’s son, Robert Cormier Jr., is executive vice president at Home State. He started at Home State 23 years ago, and said he hopes to make it to 50 years in the industry like his

dad. “I’m almost halfway there,” he said. “Bob is respected most for being an honest businessman, endeared colleague, trusted friend, mentor and a true gentleman,” said Home State Bank President and CEO Steven Slack. “He’s been my mentor for the past 20 years. If you notice, even look at the suits. He even told me how to dress.” It so happened Cormier and Slack were wearing the same style and color suits at the event. “We’ve had a tremendous relationship for 20 years,” Slack said. “We’ve really enjoyed him continuing on the board, and I imagine that will last for quite a while.”

Re/Max Plaza plans Woodstock office WOODSTOCK – A new Re/Max Plaza office will open later this year in Woodstock. Rob Schaid, managing broker and owner of Re/Max Plaza, called the move a logical next step for the brokerage firm, which already operates two offices in McHenry County. “Woodstock is a great community in which to sell real estate, and Re/Max already has a great market share there,” Schaid said in a press release. “By opening an office in Woodstock, we are showing our commitment to helping the residents of that community meet their real estate goals.” The existing Re/Max Plaza offices in McHenry County are in Richmond and McHenry. The brokerage also has

ALGONQUIN – Young Professionals, a newly formed group of the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills chamber, will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Montarra Grill, 1491 S. Randall Road, Algonquin. Attendees ages 21 through 40 will enjoy an evening of “celebrity” networking while connecting with their peers. Cost is $10 per person and includes appetizers. The first 10 people to arrive will receive a free gift from Elite Laser & Skin Spa which is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Guests are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to benefit the Algonquin/ Lake in the Hills Food Pantry. To RSVP, call 847-658-5300 or email info@ALChamber. com.

a Wauconda office. Schaid hasn’t yet chosen a location for his new Woodstock office. He has, though, purchased the rights to open a Re/Max franchise in the city, a move Schaid he said represents the latest growth strategy for his brokerage. “Woodstock is the largest town in McHenry County without a Re/Max brokerage,” Schaid said. “It’s nice to be able to bring the brand back to that community.” Schaid said he plans to open the Woodstock office with five brokers,

then steadily grow to at least twice that number to better serve this growing real estate market. “Woodstock is definitely in full recovery mode right now,” Schaid said. “Activity has been strong there for some time, and we expect the Woodstock market to continue seeing steady growth. It’s one of the reasons why it’s so important for us to open an office there.” Schaid began his real estate career in 1999 and steadily expanded Re/ Max Plaza, which was founded by his father, adding a Richmond office in 2006 and opening the Wauconda office in 2012. Schaid said he opening of the Woodstock office will take place within the next six months.

WOODSTOCK — The Centegra Hospital-Woodstock Auxiliary will host a scrub sale to raise money for its ongoing support of Centegra Gavers Breast Center in Crystal Lake. The sale will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 11-12 in the lower level lobby at Centegra Hospital-Woodstock, 3701 Doty Road. “We are pleased to partner with Life Uniform to offer a huge selection of quality uniforms including tops, pants, jackets and even shoes,” said auxiliary President Sally Welter. “This fundraising event has been very popular in the past and we are confident we will have a great turnout, so make sure to come early.” For more information about the Centegra Hospital-Woodstock Auxiliary, visit centegra. org or call 815-334-3119.

MCC offers Welding Boot Camp course WOODSTOCK – Introductory Welding Boot Camp classes will be offered this summer by McHenry County College’s Continuing Education Department.

Real estate market shows signs of improvement “How’s the market?” Certainly, everyone has had a tough time of it over the last few years. In one way or another whether you lost a job, lost value in your retirement account, lost value on your home, had trouble making your mortgage, or simply felt the pains of your family, friends and neighbors, we’ve all felt the pressures of the Great Recession. At the same time the country has had to deal with natural catastrophes like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and drought. Massive snowstorms and extensive heat both hit regions of the country. As the song from Styx goes, “It’s the best of times and the worst of times.” And while we’re concerned about everyone, most of us are most concerned about ourselves. Where do we stand today? Is it getting better? Well, the stock market has certainly recovered, soaring to new highs with the Dow Jones industrial average climbing well past 15,000. Interest rates remain historically low hovering under 4 percent. Four percent! Remember back in the early 1980s when rates were upwards of 18 percent? The stories are endless of people scrambling to get a loan before rates went higher and yet just a year or two ago many were sitting on the fences waiting for rates to go lower. Additionally, consumer confidence is up, reaching a five-year high recently. As the Magic Ball proclaims, “All signs point to yes.” That is to say, “Yes, things are getting better.” Let’s dig deeper into the local housing market to see what is hap-

pening in McHenry County. The statistical data below came from Midwest Real Estate Data LLC and 10K Research and Marketing. It’s always difficult to quote statistics because it seems like there are so many to choose from. Nonetheless, what is more important than the raw numbers are the trends the stats show. In the month of April new listings were up 23 percent. That’s a good sign. My real estate friends tell me that they’re seeing traditional sales once again. In other words, it’s not just foreclosed and short sale sellers coming on the market; people are once again selling simply because they want to. We haven’t seen much of this for the last few years. Furthermore, we need this additional inventory of homes. Just a year ago the “month’s supply of inventory” was over 10, meaning that at the rate which homes were selling it would have taken 10 months to sell all of the homes available, assuming no new homes came on the market and that the rate of sales remained constant. Ten is high. The National Association of Realtors believes a balanced level is around six month’s supply. Today McHenry County sits at just five. This might be interpreted that the scale has tipped slightly toward a seller’s market. But has it really? Let’s look at prices for a moment. The median sales price is $154,000. A year ago it was $148,500 showing a 3.7 percent increase. Similarly, the average sale’s price increased 5.2 percent to $173,087. What we have to recognize, however, is

REAL ESTATE Jim Haisler that this doesn’t necessarily mean your home’s value has increased that much. What it does say is that higher priced homes are selling. As an example, during the previous two years especially, investors were heavily in the market buying low-end homes. They would either fix them up and re-sell them at a higher price – known as “flipping” – or do some work to them and put a renter in the house. These were very low-end homes for the most part. What we’re seeing now is more traditional sales; that is, people who are buying to occupy the home themselves. These homes aren’t always the low end. So as the type of buyer has changed, so has the desired home type and, therefore, the price. Make no mistake, though. This is good for the market. The last indicator in this category is “list price” and that, too, has increased 8.3 percent from $216K to more than $234K. It appears some balance is coming to the market. In the past few years we lost the “domino effect.” This is when someone who is selling needs to buy another home. That wasn’t happening just a couple years ago. People who were forced from their home through foreclosure or short sale weren’t purchasing another home. They may have rented, which helped fuel the investor boom just mentioned, but they weren’t “moving up,” buying larger homes. This

had a devastating effect on the next tiers of homes. Since people leaving the market weren’t “moving up,” the next level of priced homes weren’t selling – and those homes aren’t typically as good a candidate for investor markets. As those homes didn’t sell the next higher tiers weren’t selling. So if you had a home worth $500,000 or more, you couldn’t really expect to sell quickly. This further pushed the average prices down, known in economics as a “trickle down” effect. That’s some good news but where’s the great news? Enter “closed sales” and “under contract.” Closed sales are up 39.3 percent over last year, which was also up from the year before. Homes are closing. Similarly, but differently, is “under contract,” which was up in April 84 percent over last year! However, we can’t count our eggs before they hatch. Just because it is under contract doesn’t mean it will close. Unfortunately, due to financing issues, short sale lender approvals, and difficulty with appraisals, we’re still not seeing the high level of closing rates on “under contracts” as we’d like. Deals fall apart. Fortunately, they are not failing as often as they were the last few years but it is still a challenge for all involved to hold these deals together. The last two trends to watch are “market time” and “total inventory.” Both are doing very well for McHenry County. Over the last year market time has fallen from six months (180 days) to about 138 days. This means the time from when you put your home on the market to the time you have a negotiated contract

is shortening. Keep in mind that foreclosures and short sale issues can have an impact on this number, as well. Inventory is at 2,100 for the county versus over 3,100 last April, that’s a change of nearly 33 percent. All of this bodes well for the local housing market. Agents tell me that spring has been good and that they’ve seen multiple offers on many occasions and some insane bidding in exceptional situations. The rental market is stabilizing and those who were displaced from their homes are beginning to re-enter the housing market. Pent up demand is loosening both from college grads who are starting to find employment and starting their own household to multiple families who have been living together separating back into individual households. But there is still quite a ways to go. Most of us haven’t rebuilt our equity yet, if ever, but the economy usually follows the stock market and, as pointed out here, there are many reasons to stay positive. This information isn’t meant to tell you what your home’s value has done but rather to help you understand that the overall picture has greatly improved. Please contact a local real estate agent, preferable a Realtor, a member of the National Association of Realtors, to discuss your specific situation.

Brokers, businesses help food pantries Local food pantries continue to need benefactors to help keep the shelves stocked as demand soars for hungry families. Six years ago, my partner, Joe Billitteri, and I developed a simple plan to raise money for food pantries in our home towns. We asked businesses that provided services related to our commercial real estate business to donate $200 per year to those food pantries. In return we listed them on our website as a “Select Vendor.” This simple idea has generated $20,800 for two food pantries in the last six years. Other businesses can copy our fundraising model with little effort and we encourage them to do so. Call or email us for details. The businesses who have generously donated to our program for 2013 are: • Accountants/CPAs: Miller Verchota Inc. and Sansone & Associates. • Architects: Korte Architecture • Attorneys: Roth Melei • Banks: Cornerstone National Bank & Trust Co. • Engineering/surveying: Vander-

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Bruce Kaplan stappen Surveying & Engineering, Inc. • Environmental audits: Mionx Corp. • General contractors: Iris Construction Services • Heating & air conditioning: Flameco Heating & A/C Inc. • Insurance: Ann Meyer Agency • Property maintenance: Showcase Painting & Repair • Property tax services: Corporate Valuation Advisors Inc. • Roofing: Metalmaster Roofmaster • Signage: Meyer Signs • Title company: Heritage Title We support, recommend and endorse all the above fine companies and publicly thank them for their participation. To find any of them, go to our website at www.profit-success.net and click on the Select Vendors tab. If you have a business related to commercial real estate and want to

be interviewed to be one of our select vendors, call me. If you just want to make a donation to the food pantry of your choice, we’ll tell you how to make a donation. Cash goes much further than actual food donations. Or, you can always Google “McHenry County Food Pantry” to get a list of all the pantries in the county – there are about 12 of them. Giving back in some way to the community from which we derive our livelihood is something we feel strongly about. The economy has wreaked havoc on families in our communities and we have the ability to help. Please patronize the businesses listed above and if you are fortunate enough to have a little extra, please donate to your local food pantry.

Pride in Crystal Lake Award for Union statue restoration CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Historical Society’s Union soldier statue restoration project has received the Pride in Crystal Lake Award from the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce. The statue is cast in zinc and was originally erected in 1889. Over the decades, the soldier began leaning backwards to the point where it was feared it would fall and shatter. The Crystal Lake Historical Society raised $60,000 in donations from the commu-

nity to restore the statue, which was returned to its “post” in Union Cemetery in Crystal Lake in 2012. New lighting, flagpoles and landscaping were included in the project, which was begun in 2006. The Pride in Crystal Lake Award is presented quarterly to a business, organization or individual who has exhibited “pride in Crystal Lake.” The award is co-sponsored by the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and Schafer Brothers Remodeling Inc.

8IN BRIEF Sallie Mae plans to split into 2, names new CEO NEWARK, Del. – Sallie Mae plans to split into two separate, publicly traded companies. The student loan giant also named John Remondi as its CEO. Sallie Mae, formally named SLM Corp., said Wednesday that the two separate companies – an education loan management business and a consumer banking business – would help unlock value and boost its long-term growth potential. The education loan management business would include the company’s portfolios of federally guaranteed and private education loans, as well as most related servicing and collection activities. The principal assets of the business are likely to include approximately $118.1 billion in federally guaranteed loans, $31.6 billion in private education loans, $7.9 billion of other interest-earning assets; and a loan servicing business with about 10 million student loan customers. This includes 4.8 million customer accounts serviced under Sallie Mae’s contract with the U.S. Department of Education. Sallie Mae’s private education loan origination and servicing businesses, including Sallie Mae Bank and the private education loans it currently holds, will operate separately under the Sallie Mae brand.

U.S. banks report record earnings in 1Q By MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer WASHINGTON – U.S. banks earned more from January through March than during any quarter on record, buoyed by greater income from fees and fewer losses from bad loans. The banking industry earned $40.3 billion in the first quarter, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Wednesday. That’s the highest ever for a single quarter and up 15.8 percent from the first quarter of 2012, when the industry’s profits were $34.8 billion. Record profits show banks have come a long way from the 2008 financial crisis. But the report offered a reminder that the industry is still struggling to help the broader economy recover from the Great Recession. Only about half of U.S. banks reported improved earnings from a year earlier, the lowest proportion

since 2009. That shows the industry’s growth is being driven by a narrower group of the nation’s largest banks. Those banks include Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Most of them have recovered with help from federal bailout money and record-low borrowing rates. Bank lending declined from the October-December quarter, although that followed several quarters of increases. And bank profits from interest charged fell 2.2 percent to $104 billion, the lowest level in nearly seven years. That has forced banks to see more revenue from fees, despite complaints from customers and consumer advocates. FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said the banking industry “is in much stronger shape today than it was three years ago.” But he added that “it’s a

Sausage maker’s export growth in Japan, Korea SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. – Johnsonville Sausage says its exports of brats and sausages have doubled over the past three years. Strong growth has come from Japan and Korea where the Sheboygan Falls company has increased its sales and marketing efforts. Sausage isn’t necessarily new in Asian markets, but the company says it brats and flavored sausages offer something different. Michael Stayer-Suprick, Johnsonville’s vice presidentinternational, says slight adaptations are made in each market to appeal to consumer tastes. In Asia, for example, sausages have less salt and spices are sweeter than those sold domestically.

fairly tricky environment for the industry” because of narrowing profit margins from charging interest and relatively weak demand for loans. Income earned from interest on loans is falling in part because interest rates have been near record lows. The Federal Reserve’s aggressive stimulus programs since the crisis have exerted downward pressure on short- and long-term interest rates, making mortgages and other loans cheaper. The Fed’s low interest-rate policies are intended to boost borrowing and spending to accelerate overall economic growth. Still, many banks have adopted stricter lending standards since the financial crisis, requiring higher credit scores, larger down payments and proof of employment. So while loans are a bargain, they are only available to those who can qualify. Another sign of the industry’s

health is that fewer banks are at risk of failure. The number of banks on the FDIC’s “problem” list fell to 612 from 651 as of Dec. 31. And so far this year, only 13 banks have failed. That follows 51 closures last year, 92 in 2011 and 157 in 2010. The 2010 closures were the most in one year since the height of the savings and loan crisis in 1992. On Tuesday, Moody’s Investors Service said it had raised its outlook for the U.S. banking industry from “Negative” to “Stable,” the first increase in five years. The rating agency said sustained economic growth and a better jobs picture will help banks over the next 12 to 18 months. The FDIC is backed by the government, and its deposits are guaranteed up to $250,000 per account. Apart from its deposit insurance fund, the agency also has tens of billions in loss reserves.

China’s Shuanghui in $4.7B deal for Smithfield RICHMOND, Va. – Chinese meat processor Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. has agreed to buy Smithfield Foods Inc. for approximately $4.72 billion in a deal that will take the world’s biggest pork producer private. Hong Kong-based Shuanghui owns a variety of global businesses that include food, logistics and flavoring products and is China’s largest meat processing enterprise. Smithfield owns brands such as Armour, Farmland and its namesake. Shareholders of Smithfield will receive $34 per share under terms of the deal announced Wednesday – a 31 percent premium to the Smithfield, Va., company’s closing stock price of $25.97 on Tuesday. Both companies’ boards have unanimously approved the transaction, which still needs approval from Smithfield’s shareholders. The transaction may also be subject to review by the U.S.’s Committee on Foreign Investment. The companies put the deal’s total value at about $7.1 billion, including debt. Smithfield Foods has about 138.8 million outstanding shares, according to FactSet. Smithfield’s stock will no longer be publicly traded once the deal closes.

Farmer Clark Kelly holds a golf ball he dug out of a fairway on the Hend-Co-Hills Golf Course in Biggsville. Kelly purchased the course, which was in foreclosure, with plans to plow it into farm land. Across the Midwest, farmers are planting crops on almost any scrap of available land to take advantage of consistently high corn and soybean prices.

High crop prices entice farms to expand planting By DAVID PITT Associated Press BIGGSVILLE – Clark Kelly plans to spend a lot of time on the links this spring. The Illinois farmer has plowed the Hend-Co-Hills Golf Course near tiny Biggsville into a cornfield. He’s not the only one turning over soil in unlikely places. Across the Midwest, farmers are planting crops on almost any scrap of available land to take advantage of consistently high corn and soybean prices. Growers are knocking down old barns, tearing out fencerows and digging up land that had once been preserved for wildlife. Some are even suspected of tearing into pioneer cemeteries. Kelly moved quickly when he heard the golf course was for sale near the Mississippi River, about 80 miles west of Peoria. With nearby land selling for $15,000 an acre, the 133-acre course with a clubhouse and campground was quite a find for $775,000. “That’s why I wanted to get my paws on it so bad,” said Kelly, who estimates he can plant at least 80 acres on the property. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects farmers to plant 174.4 million acres of corn and soybeans this year, a record high. More than 97 million acres will be devoted to corn – the most since 1936 – as demand keeps prices high. Prices soared above $8 a bushel last summer and have hovered around $7 recently. For farmers with production costs around $5 a bushel, there’s still room for a good profit. The growing world population, widespread use of corn for ethanol and other factors have produced significantly higher demand for the crop in the U.S. and elsewhere, said Dan Steinkruger, executive director of Nebraska’s Farm Service Agency. Gordon Wassenaar, who grows corn and soybeans near Prairie City, Iowa, east of Des Moines, said he’s removed fences and trees to squeeze in more crops. “In all honesty, it’s easier to get rid of the buildings and crop farm as it is to take care of the buildings and mow and do a lot of that stuff,” Wassenaar said. It’s a similar situation for Bill Bayliss, who raises cattle and sheep and grows corn, soybeans and wheat on about 2,000 acres near West Mansfield, Ohio. “We tore out fencerows and tore down one old barn, and we farm right over it,” he said. In Minnesota, state archaeologist Scott Anfinson is investigating whether farmers plowed up pioneer cemeteries. He will soon inspect an area of Grant County in west-central Minnesota, where a farmer hired an excavator to bulldoze trees and headstones near a pioneer cemetery dating to the late 1800s. Headstones were knocked down, and Anfinson will determine whether human remains or coffin parts have been turned up by a plow. The farmer, who is in his 90s and farms

with his son, could be charged with a felony if graves were disturbed. He will probably be required to replant trees and reset the headstones. Anfinson said the family whose ancestors are buried in the plots is appalled. “Families don’t forget about these things,” he said. He’s investigating three other cases in which Minnesota farmers are suspected of “nibbling” at the edges of pioneer cemeteries. Many farmers have pulled land out of the federal government’s Conservation Reserve Program, which pays farmers not to plant land that could easily erode or is ideal for grassland, wetlands and wildlife habitat. It’s become increasingly lucrative to farm or rent such land to another farmer rather than collect the government payments. In Iowa, the average cash rent for corn or soybean fields is about $270 per acre, said Chad Hart, an Iowa State University agriculture economist. The average conservation payment in Iowa is $141 an acre. Nationally, the number of acres enrolled in the program has slipped to about 27 million acres from a high of more than 36 million acres in 2007. Losing that land worries conservationists, who see dwindling habitat as a threat to the already falling numbers of pheasants and other wildlife. It also raises environmental concerns about soil erosion and water quality, said Tom Fuller, Iowa coordinator for Pheasants Forever, a nonprofit organization focusing on wildlife conservation. Back in Biggsville, corn is returning to land that for 48 years was devoted to golfing. Kelly said his father farmed the land before selling it as a golf course. Although popular for decades, the course ran into trouble during the recession, and flooding by the Mississippi a few years ago hurt attendance. “It was a well-run fun place for the community since 1970, and everybody was sad to see it close, including me,” Kelly said. Tractors have replaced golfers at the former Whittemore Golf Club near Algona, in northcentral Iowa. It closed in 2011 after more than 40 years and was planted over by a farmer. The same thing happened near Wayland, Mich., where the Hidden Valley Golf Course closed in November and was sold to a farmer. In Hastings, Mich., the River Bend Golf Course has ended its 49-year run. Former owner Denny Storrs said a fifth-generation dairy farmer approached him about selling the 180 acres that had been carved out of his family farm in 1963 for the golf course. Now the land will produce crops to feed Larry Haywood’s cows. “They made us a fair offer, and we thought it was an opportunity that might not come again,” Storrs said. “It was more valuable as a farm than as a golf course.”

WASHINGTON – America’s working mothers are now the primary breadwinners in a record 40 percent of households with children – a milestone in the changing face of modern families, up from just 11 percent in 1960. The findings by the Pew Research Center, released Wednesday, highlight the growing influence of “breadwinner moms” who keep their families afloat financially. While most are headed by single mothers, a growing number are families with married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands. Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. Still, the general public is not at all sure that having more working mothers is a good thing. While roughly 79 percent of Americans reject the notion that women should return to their traditional roles, only 21 percent of those polled said the trend of more mothers of young children working outside the home is a good thing for society, according to the Pew survey. Roughly 3 in 4 adults said the increasing number of women working for pay has made it harder for parents to raise children.

‘Another milestone’ “This change is just another milestone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “Women’s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined — the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely.” The trend is being driven mostly by long-term demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation dating back to the 1960s women’s movement. Today, more women than men hold bachelor’s degrees, and they make up nearly half — 47 percent — of the American workforce. But recent changes in the economy, too, have played a part. Big job losses in manufacturing and construction, fields that used to provide high pay to a mostly male workforce, have lifted the relative earnings of married women, even among those in mid-level positions such as teachers, nurses or administrators. The jump in working women has been especially

prominent among those who are mothers — from 37 percent in 1968 to 65 percent in 2011 — reflecting in part increases for those who went looking for jobs to lift sagging family income after the recent recession. At the same time, marriage rates have fallen to record lows. Forty percent of births now occur out of wedlock, leading to a rise in single-mother households. Many of these mothers are low-income with low education, and more likely to be black or Hispanic. In all, 13.7 million U.S. households with children under age 18 now include mothers who are the main breadwinners. Of those, 5.1 million, or 37 percent, are married, while 8.6 million, or 63 percent, are single. The income gap between the families is large — $80,000 in median family income for married couples vs. $23,000 for single mothers. Both groups of breadwinner moms – married and unmarried – have grown sharply. Among all U.S. households with children, the share of married breadwinner moms has jumped from 4 percent in 1960 to 15 percent in 2011. For single mothers, the share has increased from 7 percent to 25 percent. Andrew Cherlin, a professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University, said that to his surprise public attitudes toward working mothers have changed very little over the years. He predicts the growing numbers will lead to a growing constituency among women in favor of familyfriendly work policies such as paid family leave, as well as safety net policies such as food stamps or child care support for single mothers.

Other findings: • There is a gender gap on attitudes. About 45 percent of women say children are better off if their mother is at home, and 38 percent say children are just as well off if the mother works. Among men, 57 percent say children are better off if their mother is at home, while 29 percent say they are just as well off if she works. • The share of married couples in which the wife is more educated than the husband is rising, from 7 percent in 1960 to 23 percent in 2011. Still, the vast majority of couples include spouses with similar educational backgrounds, at 61 percent. • The number of working wives who make more than their husbands has been increasing more rapidly in recent years. Among recently married couples, including those without children, the share of “breadwinner wives” is roughly 30 percent, compared with 24 percent of all married couples. The Pew study is based on an analysis of census data as of 2011, the latest available.

Buyers beware of builders who cut corners turbing trend. He said the problem has worsened due to a higher priority given to lowest price bids. “Buyers seeking a custom-built home are making low price the top factor in their decision, which encourages many builders to compete on the cheap by taking shortcuts and cutting out necessary middlemen, which results in a lesser-quality product,” Molidor said. The most egregious examples of corner-cutting in a custom house include builders who install HVAC (heating, cooling and ventilation) equipment, plumbing and electrical systems, and prefab fireplaces themselves. These complex responsibilities are traditionally outsourced to professional subcontractors enlisted by the general

Jerry Kuyper The economic downturn of the last few years has created great bargains for home shoppers and prime opportunities to take advantage of lower selling prices, reduced labor costs and continued low interest rates. Unknown to them, though, some home buyers are also being taken advantage of by custom builders who may be cutting corners in an effort to undercut the competition. Tom Molidor, president of Clarendon Hills-based Molidor Custom Builders, has recognized this dis-

contractor or builder, Molidor said. Many builders today are using their own crews, despite a lack of experience in doing so, to implement these components. “On some HVAC jobs, we have seen where the builder has purchased and installed the furnace, air conditioner and ductwork with only one cold air return in the second floor hallway,” added Molidor. “What this means is that when the furnace or air conditioning is running, it will be very loud with the sound of air flowing. In addition, if the bedroom doors are closed, the rooms will be very uncomfortable (up to 10 degrees variance) because there is no air movement.”

• BUILDERS Continued from page F1 Most reputable custom builders use HVAC contractors who pre-engineer a home to achieve maximum comfort. “So many consumers only look at the pretty esthetics, the fine finishes and the outer shell of the finished home product they’ve had built. They don’t realize that it’s often what’s behind the walls that counts the most, and these are the areas where many custom builders are skimping on quality.” Exacerbating the problem is the fact that Illinois lacks a standardized certification process for builders and rule or code enforcement. While municipal inspectors are responsible for evaluating the construction integrity during the building process, they don’t always catch imperfections or cost-cutting measures that can produce an inferior product, Molidor claimed. “The sad thing is that, in Illinois, there is no uniform code for installing components like HVAC. In fact, unlike other states, Illinois doesn’t even require any testing in order to be a home builder. You merely have to be licensed within the particular municipality

you’re building in, which only requires paying the appropriate licensing fee,” Molidor said. “The bottom line is that anyone can put out a shingle and be a custom builder in Illinois without having to pass any special tests or earn any particular certification.” By contrast, Molidor said the state of Florida, where he is a certified, licensed contractor, mandates builders to pass a rigorous series of exams before they can engage in home construction. “In Florida, I took three separate six-hour exams that rivaled some of the final exams I took in college in terms of difficulty,” he said. It can also be challenging to seek recourse from a builder if the home buyer discovers shoddy workmanship or defects long after construction is finished and the transaction is completed. That’s because many builders either quickly go out of business or change names, making it difficult to locate the original contractor. “The moral to this story is buyer beware. Perform your necessary due diligence as a consumer by researching custom builders carefully before hiring one. If you’re dreaming of having a one-of-a-kind home built from scratch, it’s easy to assume that custom builders will be a cut above production build-

ers in terms of reliability, reputation and repertoire. But the truth is that some custom builders can be just as if not more substandard in their practices than those who build tract homes or predetermined floor plans,” Molidor continued. Molidor recommended getting referrals to reputable custom builders from trusted friends and relatives. Assemble a short list of candidates and research each carefully by asking key questions, such as the followign. How long have they been in business building custom homes? What is the corporate address? A post office box should be a red flag. Who will be the ones to actually install key components such as HVAC equipment, electric and plumbing systems, prefab fireplaces and insulation? Can they furnish proof of adequate worker’s compensation and general reliability coverage for any workers on the job? Can they provide the names and numbers of at least three recent buyers for whom custom homes were built? What reassurance of financial stability can they provide? Ask for references to trades, banks and suppliers and phone these groups to ask about the contractor’s financial

solvency. What is the estimated price, which will be clarified later in the contract, and what is included in the price? Be wary of any figure that appears too high or too low. Molidor said he can answer those questions. He has been building custom houses for more than 25 years. He said his company has received industry awards for architectural design, interior decorating, healthy homes and construction excellence. He prefers building on sites in the northern and western suburbs. Staff architects can create a unique designs from scratch, or he will built to suit any outside floor plan a customer presents, he said.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

This week, we are looking at responder’s actions when he has a major two-suiter opposite a one-no-trump opening bid. Having covered 5-4 hands, now let’s move to 5-5 holdings. We learned on May 16 that if responder has a weak 5-5 in the majors, he responds two clubs, Stayman. Then, if opener rebids two of a major, responder passes; or if opener rebids two diamonds, responder continues with two hearts to describe his hand. How responder bids game-invitational and gameforcing 5-5 hands is a matter of partnership agreement. My normal style is to respond three hearts with the gameinvitational hand (and three spades with the game-forcing one, which I will cover tomorrow). Over three hearts, opener names the inal contract. Here, with an excellent it in both majors, he jumps to four spades. Then, how should the card-play go after West leads the club ace? First, East signals with his eight, starting an echo (highlow) with a doubleton. Then, West continues with the club king. What next?

If South has the heart queen, which is likely, the defenders have taken all of their side-suit tricks. Their only chance is to collect two trump tricks. West should continue with a low club. Then the spotlight falls on East. Suppose he ruffs low and South, still having the club jack, follows suit. Will the spade queen serve any purpose? No, it won’t. So, East should ruff with the spade queen. Then, when South overruffs with his ace, West gains two trump tricks to defeat the contract. It is a classic uppercut.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - It’s beginning to look like you will be given greater responsibilities in the year ahead. Do your best to perform up to your capabilities, because you could reap substantial rewards over a protracted period of time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you find yourself in a situation similar to on that didn’t handle well in the past, proceed with caution so that you don’t repeat the same mistakes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It’s never a good thing to poke your nose into someone else’s private business. If you needed to know, you would have been briefed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A close friend is beginning to lose patience with you, because she or he has started to feel taken for granted. Show this person you care. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you might lack the ability to see the error of your ways, you could easily find fault with others. This is not a good formula for popularity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When delegating important personal responsibilities, be careful of whom you choose. Someone could make a commitment on your behalf that you won’t like. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You and some family members might be on the edgy side. Be careful not to thoughtlessly do anything that could cause tempers to boil over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If at all possible, try to temporarily shelve distasteful tasks. If you’re doing work you dislike, your performance will suffer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Business and pleasure may not mix well, so think twice before pitching a deal at a social gathering. Your chances for making a sale won’t be good. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In a last-minute effort to catch up on things left undone, you might start cracking the whip on others. You’re the one who should be facing the lash. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t misread feelings of apprehension. These particular worries come from negative thinking and are not related to reality. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be as prudent as possible when enjoying leisure activities with friends. You’ll have a lot more fun if you don’t have to open your wallet for every little thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you allow yourself to get involved with people whose objectives are not in harmony with yours, it’s only apt to impede your progress.
