Police investigate Woodstock bank robbery Suspect is same man linked to robbery in Crystal Lake NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The man suspected of robbing a Fifth Third Bank in Crystal Lake last month robbed a Fifth Third branch in Woodstock on Wednesday, the FBI said. The Woodstock robbery occurred at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday at the Fifth Third Bank at 1745 S. Eastwood Drive, FBI spokeswoman Diana Carbonara said. According to a Woodstock police news release, a white male handed a teller a note that demanded money. The teller complied with the re-
quest and gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money. Police said no weapon was displayed or implied. The suspect then fled, possibly in an older model green Jeep Cherokee occupied by two female subjects, the release said. The FBI describes the man as white, between 5-foot-10 and 6 feet tall, and weighing around 180 pounds. A description from police indicates the man has facial hair and was wearing a Chicago Bears hat and sunglasses. The FBI suspects the same man

PUBLIC HEARING IN CRYSTAL LAKE
Bleachers get ‘no’ vote
Schock sued by political donor But lawsuit likely faces legal obstacles By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

Crystal Lake resident Kim Gurba, whose family sued District 155 over the Crystal Lake South High School bleachers that abut her backyard, spoke Wednesday at the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission hearing at Crystal Lake City Hall.
Commission rejects D-155 request for permits, variances By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The special use permits and variance requests for the Crystal Lake South High School bleachers were roundly rejected by the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission. The bleachers have been described as a “monstrosity” by the neighboring property owners, but Community High School District 155 staff said they give a seat to all the people that attend football games and graduation ceremonies. Both sides got to make their case to the commission at a meeting Tuesday evening that ran more than four hours, one that meant to consider the merits of the district’s request and not the lawsuit waiting to be heard by the Illinois Supreme Court. “The finding of facts just aren’t there, so I can’t support this petition,” Commissioner Allan Skluzacek said. The recommendation made by
Crystal Lake South principal Scott Shepard looks back at a screen showing photos of the bleachers during the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. the commission to reject the district’s requests will be considered by the Crystal Lake City Council at an upcoming meeting. The nine-member commission weighed several different recommendations as it considered the
request from the Crystal Lakebased district for a special use permit and two variances. The staff recommendation, premised on the approval of the two variances and the relocation of the press box to the east side bleach-
ers, calls for more solid landscape screening between the bleachers and the houses that back up to the site, mounting the speaker system in an easterly direction, keeping noise levels below 90 decibels as measured five feet from the property line and requiring the relocation of the buses for certain events to make room for more parking. The district’s attorney, Lisa Waggoner, asked the commission to waive the decibel requirement and to allow the district to conduct a parking study to find out if the buses need to be relocated, something that costs the district $2,600 each time it’s done. The school can control the noise of the sound system, but it can’t control the noise of the crowd, which would be included in any decibel reading, she said, adding that relocating the speakers would cost about $100,000. The neighboring property owners had their own requests, varying from the removal of the west
SPRINGFIELD – Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock’s legal problems expanded Wednesday as a contributor sued to force the repayment of millions of campaign dollars, saying he was tricked into believing the young lawmaker who has since resigned amid questions about his spending was “a breath of fresh air” in a corruption-riddled state. The unusual lawsuit filed by Howard Foster, a Chicago lawyer who pitched in just $500 to Schock, cites Illinois’ long history of political and financial shenanigans – from a pre-Civil War governor to former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s recent prison Aaron term for misusing Schock campaign funds – and plants Schock among them in claiming his fundraising arm was a corrupt racket. One election-law expert said he’s never seen such a lawsuit and predicted legal obstacles. Schock, a 33-year-old Republican from Peoria who resigned last month, had been a money-raising machine with shooting-star millennial appeal. The lawsuit targets all four of his fundraising accounts. In his main congressional fund alone, he collected nearly $11 million since 2008, according to Federal Election Commission records. Foster anted up “because he believed Mr. Schock was ethical, a breath of fresh air in Illinois politics, and had a bright future in Congress,” the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Chicago, states. “However, the opposite was true, and while Schock may have been a new, young face in Congress, he willingly followed well-tread paths of political sleaze for personal gain.” The complaint seeks class-action status and repayment of all contributions. It counts 7,130 contributors to Schock’s main fund alone – all potential plaintiffs, although Foster is the only one thus far.

Send state’s EDGE program off a cliff SPRINGFIELD – When it comes to business, Illinois government has churned out more sweetheart deals over the past decade than a lovelorn teenager on Valentine’s Day. We have taken to paying businesses to move here. And if they threaten to leave, we’ll give them more bucks to just stick around. In other words, the politicians in Springfield think they can decide better than consumers who the winners and losers in the marketplace should be. Folks, the only sure-fire losers in this scheme are ordinary taxpayers. We are paying higher taxes so some big businesses can pay less. Worse yet, we are asking mom-andpop businesses to compete against corporate behemoths that are sucking in the subsidies.
LOTTERY
VIEWS Scott Reeder Liberals call the practice “corporate welfare.” Conservatives call it “crony capitalism.” I’ll just call it plain wrong. Since 2001, the state has doled out about $1 billion in giveaways to corporations through the EDGE tax credit program. Most of that money didn’t go to companies bringing jobs to Illinois. Instead it went to companies threatening to move jobs out of the state. Talk about rewarding bad behavior. So why does government do this? The answer is simple: politics. Pol-
iticians love to cut ribbons for new business and claim credit for jobs. One of the many problems with such claims is no one really knows how many jobs are created, retained or lost by a particular action. When one business gets special help, its competitor down the street might have to lay off workers because it can no longer compete. In the waning weeks of his administration, Gov. Pat Quinn promised about $100 million to companies. When he took office in January, Gov. Bruce Rauner put those promises on hold. But last week, he freed the money for those businesses. A Rauner spokeswoman told me Friday the administration felt it should honor the commitments made by the previous administration. She added the gover-

nor is now evaluating the long-term policy on incentives. “DCEO is continuing to meet with companies on all incentive requests, but at this point they are only providing fiscal incentives for job creation, not retention,” Lindsey Walters said. Well, that’s a step in the right direction. But it doesn’t go far enough. It’s time for the EDGE program to come to an end. The best way to promote jobs in Illinois is to improve the business climate for all employers – not just a select few.

LOCAL BRIEFS Island Lake, McHenry men face drug charges McHENRY – Two men face drug charges after a traffic stop Monday in McHenry resulted in the discovery of 25 grams of raw heroin, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Intelligence Led Policing Unit initiated the stop near Elm Street and Riverside Drive, according to a news release. The heroin was found in a concealed compartment after sheriff’s deputies obtained consent to search the vehicle, it said. The office estimated the street value of the heroin to be about $5,000. Dustin B. Dodge, 34, of the 27000 block of North Roberts Road in Island Lake, and Dale M. Hoagland, 32, of the 3300 block of West Elm Street in McHenry, each were charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Dodge also was charged with driving with a suspended license. Bond was set at $200,000, and a court appearance was set for 9 a.m. Thursday, the release said. – Allison Goodrich
Apartment building fire displaces 20 By NICOLE FRANZ nfranz@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – One person was injured and about 20 were displaced in a fire that broke out late Tuesday night at an apartment building in Lake in the Hills, fire officials said. Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Chief Patrick Mullen said a call came in at 11:53 p.m. Tuesday from a passer-by of a three-story apartment building on fire at 1363 Cunat Court. First responders initially arrived on the scene to find the second- and third-floor balconies fully engulfed and started evacuating the building, Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Assistant Chief Peter Van Dorpe said. He later added firefighters ran into a slight snag while battling the blaze. “There was a bad hydrant in the area – it just didn’t operate properly, and it was the closest one,” Van Dorpe said. “They had to go to the next hydrant down, so we were without water for maybe a minute and that just added to the challenge.” An older man had to be rescued from the balcony of the burning building and was taken to Sherman Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, Mullen said. He said the man was in stable condition and was the only person taken from the scene. Neighbor Danny Chavez said he saw the man on the balcony and yelled to ask him why he wasn’t leaving. He said the man said there was too much smoke. Chavez said he alerted police and firefighters who then got the man down with a ladder.

A residential apartment building is fenced off Wednesday after an overnight fire at the Prairie Point Manor development at 1363 Cunat Court in Lake in the Hills. The fire started about 11:50 p.m. and damaged 18 residential units. One person was injured during the fire and 20 people were displaced, fire officials said.

Chavez said the flames shot into the air at least 30 feet. “It was horrible. It was scary,” Chavez said. Officials said they declared the fire under control about 1:10 a.m. They said it appeared the bulk of the fire damage was on the outside of the building, including the roof and balcony. Van Dorpe said 18 apartments were damaged in the blaze. “The building has sprinklers,” Van Dorpe said. “Without the sprinklers it would have been much, much worse. That’s what helped the residents. It
helped the fire from spreading faster.” A wing of the building was deemed uninhabitable, and the Red Cross was on the scene to assist displaced residents, Mullen said. By 3 p.m., Van Dorpe said the cause was still unknown, but that the fire did not appear to be suspicious in nature. The Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident. “There’s so much damage. ... We can’t get right on top of where we think the fire started,” Van Dorpe said. “They’re going to have to chew on this one for a while.” Fifteen rescue agencies provided mutual aid and 63 firefighters were on the scene, he said.

Tips for avoiding home repair scams

McHENRY– Beyond preparing for the severe weather spring brings, local and state officials warn residents also should be prepared for scam artists soliciting home repairs. The warnings come in light of the deadly tornadoes and strong storms that ripped through northern Illinois last week. McHenry Deputy Police Chief John Birk said his agen- tween Friday and Wednesday. “McHenry got hit pretcy has fielded 33 calls about solicitors offering repairs be- ty hard with hail damage,”

Birk said. “So they’re kind of all over. Ever since Friday, they’re all out there trying to make as many business deals as possible.” He said it’s illegal in McHenry to knock on doors and initiate conversations with residents. Companies are allowed to leave information, but not in mailboxes, he said. Residents who see businesses soliciting should call the police. Birk’s warnings are in line with those that came earlier this week from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Madigan cautioned con artists look to exploit homeowners

Algonquin weighs water slide event By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Village Board heard plans Tuesday for a massive water slide to come to Algonquin this summer, and if approved, the village will be one of the first places in Illinois to host an event of this kind. Jess Loren, founder of Chicago-based event production company Social Tech Pop, submitted a public event/ entertainment license application. It proposes a two-day event on North Main Street on Aug. 15 and 16.
Appropriately named Slide the City, Loren said the event would bring a water slide, which would run the length of four to five football fields. Food vendors, a beer garden and space for radio station vehicles are included in the plan. It would require the closure of North Main Street from West Algonquin Road to Cary Algonquin Road for two full days, Village Recreation Coordinator Katie Gock said. With the recent completion of the Algonquin bypass,

Vandalism leads to damage; store closed
Bills to increase 13.9 percent
By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The Pink Door Thrift Shop is closed because of water damage caused by vandalism to the building’s roof, the property owner said. The damage was reported to police on April 9 by the property owner, Deputy Police Chief John Birk said. It appears someone had been on the roof cutting slits in the rubber lining the roof, Birk said. The damage had been discovered because it had caused the roof to leak during the heavy rains last week. Two of the businesses in the strip mall, the Pink Door Thrift Shop and Frontier Chiropractic Services, sustained damage, Birk said. The damage is estimated at $50,000, not including the merchandise the volunteers who run the Pink Door – the proceeds benefit Centegra Hospi-
tal – McHenry – had to throw away, said the building’s owner, Ron Bykowski. “It was just unbelievable,” he said. “You can see if it’s a natural disaster … but this was just due to vandalism.” The incident is under investigation, and the department does have a few leads and is waiting for lab results to come back, Birk said, adding there should be progress made in a week or a two. Anyone with information about the incident can also contact the department’s detective division at 815-363-2599 or its anonymous tip line at 815-363-2124. The Pink Door should also see some progress soon, Bykowski said. The rehab work is moving along “quite well,” and he estimates the store could be reopened within 10 days. The damage to Frontier Chiropractic Services did not force it to close.
With city water use down, Marengo residents to see hike By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Starting Aug. 1, most Marengo residents will see a 13.9 percent jump in their quarterly water bills, as a combination of factors caused City Council members to hike water and sewer rates. Seeing a significant decline in city water use, the council earlier this week approved, 6-1, a rate increase that is meant to shorten a projected $169,153 deficit in the city’s water and sewer fund, a part of the city’s proposed budget that takes effect May 1. Council members struggled to decide on a rate increase, after administrators presented aldermen with three options. The council ultimately approved the one that raises the city’s flat water fee by $10 and extends the fee to all users for
“I hate all these choices. With that being said ... option two is the only one where we come close without killing ourselves.” Nicole DeBoer Marengo alderwoman
the first time. The other options would also have created an across-the-board flat fee and increased it by either $7 or $13. “I hate all these choices,” said Alderwoman Nicole DeBoer. “With that being said ... option two is the only one where we come close without killing ourselves.” The increase comes af-
ter population decline and dry summers dramatically dropped city water use over the past two years, said City Administrator Gary Boden. Even with it, officials will have to use about $39,000 from reserves this year to make up the deficit, he said. While water and sewer revenue has declined, the council opted against spending cuts to curb the deficit. During the council meeting earlier this week, outgoing Alderwoman Carole Bartman suggested the council examine cuts, but the idea never gained traction. Once it takes effect Aug. 1, the latest rate increase meant to shorten a deficit in the city’s water and sewer fund will coincide with another water rate increase aldermen approved last year that has long upset residents. “I don’t think we can hit
people with substantial increases all at once,” Bartman said Bartman was the lone “no” vote on the rate increase. Alderman Dennis Hammortree was absent. Last spring, the council approved a gradual water rate increase that allows city officials to pay back the $12 million loan needed to finance Marengo’s new wastewater treatment plant, which opened in late March. An average residential water user in Marengo was expected to see their quarterly bill jump from $197 to about $214 on Aug. 1, under the increase aldermen approved for the treatment plant. With council’s latest rate increase, an average residential water user will now see their quarterly bill increase from $197 to $224 on Aug. 1, according to city figures.

McHENRY
McHenry’s brush pickup program starts Monday NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – The city’s spring brush pickup program will begin next week. McHenry residents are asked to have their brush at the curb by 7 a.m. on the first day scheduled for their area. The chipper will go door-to-door, and the program is only for residential properties. This program is only for tree material. Yard waste can be disposed of using the city’s yard waste collection program. When placing branches at the curb, residents should make sure they are not in the street and that all branches are as long as possible and no more than 5 inches in diameter. The cut ends of the brush should be facing the road and will be left behind if they cannot be put through the chipper safely. No stumps or roots will be taken. It takes several days to com-
plete a section, and the chipper will not return to properties already passed. Pickup for the first section will start Monday. It covers the area south of Route 120 and west of the train tracks, including the Winding Creek, Trails of Winding Creek, Fox Ridge, Malibu Estates, Abbey Ridge and Patriot Estates subdivisions and part of Crystal Lake Road. Starting April 27, the city will move onto parts of Whispering Oaks, Cooney Heights, Glacier Ridge, Woodcreek, Burning Tree, Deerwood, Pheasant Valley, Boone Creek, Park Ridge Estates, Legend Lakes and Lakeland Shores subdivisions that fall south of Route 120 and west of the train tracks. Pickup will move to the east side of the train tracks starting May 4, starting south of Route 120. The first area will include McHenry Shores, Pebblecreek, Foxview Highlands,
Biscayne Highlands, Oaks of Irish Prairie and Morgan Hill. Starting May 11, the city will move to the Edgebrook Heights, Green Valley, Country Club Estates, Brittany Heights and Country Club subdivisions as well as Main Street, Waukegan Road and areas east of the river. Pickup will then move north of Route 120, staying on the east of the tracks, May 18. The areas to be covered include Mill Creek, Olde Mill Ponds, Riverside Drive, the Oaks of McHenry, Millstream, Timber Trails, Riverside Hollow, the Veterans Park area, Liberty Trails, Lincoln Hills, Hunterville and east of the river. The final section will be picked up May 26. This area falls north of Route 120 and west of the tracks, including Lakewood, Lakeland Shores, all of Lakeland Park, Brittany Park, Martin Woods, Chesapeake Hills and Wooded Ridge.

Technology: Good, bad and ugly Technology in the world is quickly advancing into a better and faster means of “connecting” to just about anything. The good is when the use of computers and smartphones help us by accessing emails, using GPS, paying bills, online banking and obtaining information. The bad is when it becomes excessive or inappropriate in nature. That’s when it is a problem. The ugly is when you use the Internet and other technology for potentially dangerous actions. Just because it is readily available does not mean you should view or use it. Your business probably functions better with the latest technology, but what hands-on, real customer service are you losing because of it? Ask yourself, “What is your best memory about the last time you went into a local business establishment
CHAMBER NEWS Donna Sullivan here in McHenry County?” Was it the conversation with the cashier and a sense of feeling like you were an important customer? How about a restaurant? To some of us (my brothers in particular), food is the only important consideration, but most of us want to feel catered to, provided good service and the right atmosphere. You could have the best products and the fastest computers, but ultimately how you are treated can make the difference and provide you with a return satisfied customer. Most of us, myself included, desire human contact, which explains why we get so upset when in need of computer support and we
are connected to an outsourced office in another country. We don’t get that feeling of being important or special. Personally, making a fuss over me doesn’t take that long and usually results in my customer loyalty to you. This Chamber director needs to pick up a phone instead of depending completely on electronic communication. I need to send some handwritten notes instead of form emails. And I need to take a walk or get in my car and stop in for no particular reason other than to say, “Hi. How are things going?” I’m not saying technology is bad. I’m just saying maybe we need to use the old and new, and I hope you will, too.

on top of drinking beer, rum and vodka. “His testimony was obnoxious,” Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons said. “… Nothing he testified about can be taken as clear or wholly accurate.” Ultimately, Prather found Evans testimony to be “unworthy of belief.” “If the defendant in fact has all these substances in his
body … he would lack any type of ability to recall with accuracy the events of that night,” Prather said. Evans faces three to seven years in prison, or probation. His sentence will be determined by Prather on June 5. Evans’ attorneys had selected an entire 12-person jury on Tuesday before reversing course and opting for a bench trial.
PRAIRIE GROVE – One of Prairie Grove School District 46’s board members has resigned. John Bowman, who was elected to the board in 2013, said he “had too many things on his plate and too many plates” and that stepping down from the board was a “wrenching decision but [one that] had to be done.” Bowman started his involvement with District 46 as a senior volunteer 10 years ago and served as an interim technology director while the district looked to make a permanent hire, he said. His resignation was effective at noon Monday, Superintendent Phil Bender said, adding the board will be looking to fill Bowman’s spot. Letters of interest, along with a short resume, can be emailed to Bender at pbender@dist46. org or dropped off at the school district office, 3223 Route 176, Crystal Lake. The deadline for applications is 4 p.m. April 29. The board will hold a special meeting May 5 to review the applications and determine the next steps, Bender said. – Emily K. Coleman

Neighbors suing district over issue • BLEACHERS Continued from page A1 side bleachers, their relocation to the east side or if they’re approved, a solid landscape screening or some sort of work to the bleachers that would minimize the noise. Football games may take place four or five times a year, but the negative aspects of the bleachers affect the neighboring property owners year round, said one neighbor, Paul Schwake. Students run up and down the bleachers during gym class, children climb over
“In our opinion, the bleachers are a godsend.” Chuck Ahsmann Crystal Lake South head football coach the bleachers like monkey bars during games and on weekends, and people shout and swear at them during games, said another neighbor, Kim Gurba. Both neighbors are involved in a lawsuit filed against the district that argues the bleachers violate
the city’s zoning regulations. Not all the public feedback was negative, though. Several parents and members of the school’s booster club came out to tout the positives the new bleachers have brought by giving all the attendees, including those with disabilities, a place to sit. “In our opinion, the bleachers are a godsend,” said the school’s head football coach, Chuck Ahsmann. His 80-year-old father has Parkinson’s disease and would show up early to the games to make sure he got a place to stand along the fence, Ahsmann said. He
wanted to make sure he got a chance to watch his grandsons play. The bleachers were replaced as part of $1.18 million project that also included replacing some fencing and expanding the pathways to the west side bleachers, said Josh Czerniak, a project manager with FGM Architects, the architecture firm hired by the district. The project was initiated after the press box was condemned and a safety inspection found the bleachers were “in need of immediate” repair or replacement, Crystal Lake South High School Vice Principal Joe Cole said.

No home repair scams reported yet Lawsuit also targets Schock’s Continued from page A3 and businesses that need repairs from storm-related damage by pressuring them into making impulsive and expensive decisions about cleanup and repair work. The hardest hit was Fairdale, a small farming community in DeKalb County where two women died in the tornado April 9. The tornado also destroyed several buildings in Rochelle. The tornado stopped short of Marengo, while Woodstock, Huntley and McHenry
reported hail during the storm. The Better Business Bureau said these “storm chasers” might go door-to-door offering services. The agency advised residents to get three or four quotes for repairs before selecting a contractor and to insist payments be made through credit card or check to the company, not in cash or to an individual. Residents also shouldn’t pay for services up front and should be wary of contractors who demand they do. Although the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t received any home repair
scam reports, Deputy Aimee Knop said reports often come in spring as the weather warms and storms with hail and wind increase. She said residents should call their local Aimee Knop police department in the case of a of scam. “Make sure work is done with reputable companies, ask trusted friends and family for referrals,” Knop said. “Do not have somebody approach your residence and tell you your home needs work done.”
Loren: Parking seems to be biggest issue • WATER SLIDE Continued from page A3 village officials said they were confident the event would work in the proposed area. While trustees had plenty of questions for Loren on Tuesday during a committee meeting, the lengthy inquiry session ended with a unanimous vote to move the issue to the Village Board for approval. Approval would come with the understanding that village staff will continue to work with the Algonquin Police Department and with Loren to ensure all issues are addressed. Given the size of the event and the projected attendance – Loren said she was hoping for 6,000 people – trustees brought up a number of issues, including overnight security, potential weather interruptions, accessibility to area neighbor- Brian Dianis hoods and parking. “It sounds really fun,” Trustee Brian Dianis said. “I just want to make sure we’re crossing all our t’s and dotting all our i’s.” Loren said at this point, planning for all those issues
“It’s a great event that has great intentions for good, clean fun and that’s what we’re hoping to bring to Algonquin.” Jess Loren Founder of Chicago-based company Social Tech Pop is about 90 percent complete, with parking being the biggest hurdle. However, she added her organization has already identified 10 parking lots that could be used and hopes to work with Algonquin Commons for the use of the mall’s trolley system. Questions also arose in regard to the slide’s water. Loren said the village would have to allow a Debby meter be put on Sosine a fire hydrant for water, then the organization would pay for the amount taken – about 15,000 to 18,000 gallons. Trustee Debby Sosine said she thinks the event will be a “great event for Algonquin,”
something that could bring people to the village who haven’t been there before. “I’m excited that they’re excited,” Loren said Wednesday. “It’s a great event that has great intentions for good, clean fun and that’s what we’re hoping to bring to Algonquin.” She explained Slide the City brought its first giant slide to Salt Lake City in 2014. This summer, events will be in more than 100 different locations, Loren said. The event proposed in Algonquin could potentially be the second in the state, she added. While it wouldn’t bring a direct line of profit to the village, Gock explained Algonquin businesses in the area would be beneficiaries of Slide the City. Plus, Loren said the Algonquin Explorers and the Lions Club of Algonquin are expected to provide volunteers and Slide the City will give $60 a volunteer to the respective organizations. “This will bring a lot of attention to Algonquin, and it will bring a lot of commerce to downtown Algonquin businesses,” she said. The event application is expected to go before the Village Board during the Tuesday meeting.
past campaign-fund solicitors • SCHOCK Continued from page A1 Schock’s spending – including redecorating his Washington office in the style of “Downton Abbey” – came under scrutiny in February. After additional media reports, including by The Associated Press, about how he financed and reported travel and alleged improper mileage reimbursements, he quit and a federal criminal investigation began. A spokesman for Schock declined to comment on Wednesday. The ex-congressman, first elected to the Peoria School Board as a 19-year-old write-in candidate, had $3.35 million in three campaign committees at the end of 2014, according to federal records. The lawsuit says Foster donated to Schock in April 2012 after receiving solicitations at his home, part of what Foster claims was “racketeering activi-
ty” which included writing “misleading fundraising letters emphasizing the themes of integrity, freshness, and his bright future.” There could be more defendants, too – Schock is a defendant along with “John Does 1-100,” described as campaign-fund solicitors. The complaint lists Schock among the Prairie State’s more infamous state and federal officeholders, beginning with 1850s Gov. Joel Matteson, who illegally cashed $250,000 in scrip issued to finance the Illinois and Michigan Canal and a dozen more, up to Jackson and impeached ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, sent to prison in 2012 for trying to sell the former Senate seat held by President Barack Obama. Richard Hasen, a professor of law and political science at UC-Irvine, said he’s never seen such a lawsuit and was skeptical about its chances of success. First of all, while they are not gifts, federal regulations consider
campaign cash akin to such gestures of munificence. “If I give you a gift, I don’t really have a say over what you do with it, as opposed to, I give you money for a particular purpose,” Hasen said. Hasen also questioned whether Schock could be linked to money technically given to election committees, although the lawsuit’s answer is that Schock directed those activities and signed letters seeking contributions. Foster’s attorney, Steve Berman, noted Schock’s Capitol Hill farewell speech in which he vowed to “work tirelessly” to make amends to those he let down. “We believe this lawsuit gives him the golden opportunity to do just that,” the Seattle-based lawyer said in a statement, “and we look forward to seeing every penny returned to campaign contributors who believed the false statements Schock was spoon-feeding his supporters.”

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A project to restore the Woods Creek stream bank will have to wait until next year after a village committee moved to reject the bids that came in for the project. Five bids were opened at the end of March for Phase I of the Woods Creek Streambank Stabilization and Restoration project, according to village documents. This year was going to include work from Boyer Road to the Woods Creek lift station, and was included in the fiscal 2015-2016 budget, Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said. However, during Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, the board unanimously voted to move the rejection of all bids to the Village Board meeting next week.
“Unfortunately, the bids came in much higher than the budgeted amount.” Bob Mitchard Algonquin Public Works director “Unfortunately, the bids came in much higher than the budgeted amount,” Mitchard said. “And some were noncompliant.” The project requires a contractor with “a degreed ecologist, who has knowledge in streambank restoration and restoration ecology, on staff who has worked for the company for at least two years,” village documents said. Mitchard said the three lowest bidders did not meet that requirement and while the next two did, they both exceeded the budgeted amount,
which was $200,000. “We plan to re-bid this project next year for a May 2016 construction start date,” village documents said. “We will combine this project with the next section of Woods Creek to be stabilized.” The village staff plans to combine Phase I with Phase II, which was already planned for next year. Phase II involves work from the lift station to the pedestrian bridge in Spella Park, according to the village documents. An Illinois Environmental Protection Agency 319 water quality grant has already been received for Phase I, but Mitchard said the village plans to apply for additional grant funds for the combined project next year. “This will make this a more comprehensive project that will further enhance the Woods Creek Corridor,” the documents said.

WILLIAM FRANZ Born: Dec. 3, 1930 Died: April 12, 2015 William “Bill” Franz, an attorney whose 54-year career coincided with Crystal Lake’s tremendous postwar growth, died Sunday, April 12, 2015, in Chicago of complications from lymphoma. Lending playful humor to dry legal proceedings, he played a leading role in Crystal Lake’s residential and commercial development. He often served as a public advocate, as when his firm contested in court and won a judgment in the 1980s against a proposed new landfill in McHenry County by a large company with a checkered environmental record. He touched the lives of many throughout the community, in public and private, large and small ways. He was born in Dayton, Ohio on December 3, 1930. Two years later, at the height of the Great Depression, his family moved to Crystal Lake. He suffered through a succession of serious diseases as a child and, like many of the time, grew up in difficult economic circumstances. For some time, he and his brothers slept in homemade bunks on the outside porch of his family’s small house. Looking back on those days, he recalled it was pretty difficult to get out of the warm bed on cold winter mornings. He graduated from Crystal Lake Community High School in 1948 and was his senior class president. He attended the University of Michigan where he competed on the swim team for two years before service in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War interrupted his studies. During his military service, he learned to speak Russian and later obtained a commission as a second lieutenant before being discharged at the war’s end. Having worked constantly throughout his lifetime, holding a succession of 53 different jobs before he turned 30, he completed Chicago Kent Law School in 1959 and embarked on his 54th job, his law career. He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, and one sister. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Jane Franz; two sisters, Bonnie Franz Ogden and Sandy Franz Reynolds; four children, David Franz, Julie McConnell, Liz Franz, and Sue Soden; seven grandchildren, Katherine and Alex Franz of Arlington, VA, Emma and Isabel Soden of Crystal Lake, and Lucia, Carly, and Paige McConnell of

SKETCH VIEW
Be on alert for scams after storms In the wake of tragedy, there often is an unfortunate side effect while communities attempt to rebuild. Such is the warning offered by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. After last week’s tornadoes devastated parts of northern and central Illinois, Madigan warned residents to be on the lookout for home repair con artists looking to exploit homeowners and local businesses. These homeowners and business owners affected by the tornadoes are For the record most concerned with basic necesThese are days when resisities – where dents have to look out for each will they eat and other. sleep, how can they restart their business, etc. It’s an unfortunate reality they also must look out for those looking to prey on their losses. In conjunction with her alert, Madigan filed four lawsuits against fraudulent home repair and supply businesses that previously cheated homeowners in the suburbs and the central part of the state out of more than $220,000. That’s a good start. Con artists should be afraid of the attorney general going after them. For those that need to rebuild, questions must be asked of contractors who are looking to help. Contractors must register at a check-in point located at the Emergency Management Assistance Team trailer at Rochelle High School. Residents should be wary of contractors going door-to-door to offer services. Ask for recommendations from people you trust. Get the terms of your contract in writing. Never make the full payment until the work has been completed to your satisfaction. And always ask to see if the contractor has required state and local permits. These are days when residents have to look out for each other, and by all accounts the outpouring of support for those in Fairdale and Rochelle has been overwhelming. Support shouldn’t stop there. If residents notice any suspicious activity, they are encouraged to call local law enforcement, and Madigan’s consumer fraud hotline at 800-386-5438.

Justice system watchdogs Few modern advances have turned America’s criminal justice system on its head quite like DNA testing of evidence from crimes such as murders and sexual assaults. This scientific advancement, which developed in the mid-1980s, has enabled police and courts to arrest and convict criminals who might otherwise have gotten away with their misdeeds. Just as importantly, it has exonerated hundreds of innocent people who were locked up for crimes they never committed. The growing number of exonerations nationwide is evidence organizations such as the Illinois Innocence Project are, and will continue to be, a critical part of a justice system that clearly is fallible. Countless statistics about wrongful convictions, racial bias and America’s affinity for incarceration bear out the need for innocence projects and criminal justice reforms in Illinois. The U.S. has the largest prison system of any developed country in the world. A 2013 study by the Pew Research Center showed black men in America are six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated. The study also showed a widening income and wealth gap between black men and white men. The deck is stacked against many Americans through race, wealth, education and access to defense resources. Without one or more of those things on a person’s side, the benefit of doubt diminishes and prison becomes a very real possibility, as stories have shown time and again. In addition, justice can fall victim to sheer human error, funding gaps that affect police resources and public defenders’ manpower, and lagging legislative initiatives that could help address problems and head off wrongful convictions. For example, in Illinois, there is no statewide requirement DNA evidence be preserved under any particular conditions once a court case is completed. Illinois also has a poor track record statewide when it comes to investigating sexual assaults. A 2010 study suggested as many as 80 percent of rape kits in the state have gone unexamined. Many coroners or medical examiners lack training to detect evidence of sexual assault. The goal, of course, is for everyone involved in the system to get it right, every step of the way. No one should be locked up for a crime they didn’t commit. But with so many documented failures throughout, it’s critical that there are watchdogs like the Illinois Innocence Project to be a voice for the wrongfully convicted and to champion the American principle of justice for all.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Democrats’ selective memory To the Editor: President George W. Bush was and still is attacked regularly by Democrats, including lifelong Democrat Howard Dean. The Obama administration has withheld information relating to the Benghazi killing of Chris Stevens and two other American heroes, the IRS targeting of conservatives, a Veteran Affairs scandal, the targeting of reporters and the free press, and has made numerous false statements regarding Obamacare. The Obama administration just waits out the scandals, eventually they fade away, and the mostly liberal media is only too happy to help. The latest Obama scandal is trading five top Taliban commanders for Bowe Bergdahl. In 2009, the NCIS published a report that Bergdahl was a potential deserter and collaborator. Several lives were lost searching for Bergdahl. And yet, in June 2014, Obama hailed Bergdahl as a hero who had served his country honorably with a photo op in the Rose Garden with Bergdahl’s parents. Susan Rice, James Carney and other Obama officials kept touting Bergdahl’s bravery. In October 2013, New York Times
reporter David Sanger called Obama’s administration “the most closed control freak administration I’ve ever covered.” In December 2013, New York Times, CBS and CNN reporters called Obama’s administration the most secretive and manipulative ever. I’m glad Republicans question Obama’s policies. Gail Rose

To the Editor: I want to recognize and thank the staff of Harvard High School. On the evening of April 9, several activities were going on at the school. During the dangerous storms, the staff worked diligently to keep parents and other visitors safe and informed. The students involved with the “Wizard of Oz” were calm, patient and in good spirits during such a difficult time – hiding out in the basement. And to the parents of those students, be proud. You raised fine children. After all was said and done, the students and faculty joined together to collect items needed for those affected by the storms. We in Harvard should be grateful

Imposing government views To the Editor: The Another View editorial published April 9 (“Climate change juice,” Lake Charles, Louisiana, American Press) expressed a sober view about the federal government imposing its environmental views on the country. FEMA insists all of us “engage in the belief of climate change” and global warming. (Oh, how religious!) This is a few decades after we were warned of the new ice age by a cover article in Newsweek, when it was all the fashionable rage by the same climate elite. Our climate is changing, as it

always has. That is climate. Activities of the sun and volcanic activity have more to do with it than anything else. The belief is based on infamous computer models whose predictions never came true in past decades and, just like the coming global cooling, have been discredited. The bigger problem is the oppressive government effort that demands everyone should agree with its edict. Not scientifically sound, it is only a means to control, dictate to and coerce the public. It is an unmistakable sign of a dictatorial power grab and the beginning of despotism. Read history, and you find similar examples aplenty. Circumstances differ, but the sinister effort of the self-appointed elite is a constant component. Miklos Magyar Crystal Lake
Democrats offer a delusional Social Security plan Social Security has a longterm funding gap that just keeps growing. Neither political party has a plan to pay for the promises we’ve already made to people contributing to the system. But Democrats are bringing a new idea to the table: make even more promises. Almost all Senate Democrats have lined up behind a proposal by Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Joe Manchin of West Virginia to expand benefits for current retirees. Liberals are exulting Warren has shifted the politics of Social Security to the left: Where once we were debating cutbacks to the program, now we’re debating benefit increases. Too bad that also means the debate is shifting further away from fiscal reality. Social Security is becoming a worse deal for each generation. Those now joining the workforce are expected to pay more into the system than they get out of it. Warren’s plan is to shower more money on the current generation of retirees, but without increasing the deficit over the
VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru next 10 years. That means, in all likelihood, raising taxes on current workers while also increasing the program’s long-run fiscal deficit. The strongest argument in favor of expanding benefits is that Social Security should keep all senior citizens out of poverty, and doesn’t. That fact, though, is really a remarkable indictment of the way the program is currently structured. As my American Enterprise Institute colleague Andrew Biggs has pointed out, the program substantially reduces work, saving and even birth rates without accomplishing this key social goal. Social Security always has been a combination of forced savings and redistribution. The forced savings is overt, and helps cement political support for the program: It’s the basis for the idea retirees are “just getting
back what they put in,” which has been a fiction for most of the program’s history. The redistribution is hidden, disguised in part by the program’s universality: The formula for setting payments is progressive, but it is complicated, and even Warren Buffett can draw benefits. Liberals seeking to expand Social Security want to keep this structure. They hope to make it better at alleviating poverty by raising benefit levels for everyone, even people who don’t need it. The AFL-CIO’s executive council put it this way in a 2012 statement: “Social Security retirement benefits must be increased across the board, which would be especially meaningful for low-income seniors.” That’s a good way to help the neediest at the largest possible cost. It would be better, as Biggs proposes, to shift gradually to a new system that separates the two functions of Social Security. People joining the workforce now should be promised a flat universal retirement benefit set at a level that keeps all seniors out of poverty. At the same time,
they should be given the opportunity and incentive to save so they have retirement funds beyond that subsistence-level benefit. They should be autoenrolled in retirement savings accounts that would include an option to invest in index funds, with the mix of investments shifting from stocks to bonds as workers approached retirement. That would do better than the current program at preventing destitution because of the basic benefit. It would make for a more predictable stream of retirement income because it would dispense with complicated benefit formulas. And it would reduce Social Security’s negative economic effects because it would no longer discourage work and saving. It would also reduce Social Security’s unfunded liability – assuming, of course, that anyone still cares about that. • Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Lawmakers take break from gridlock Shooting video Iran agreement a rare compromise The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – For at least a few days, Washington may have actually worked. Republicans and Democrats talked to each other. President Barack Obama and several members of his administration conversed with lawmakers, too. As a result, a Senate committee unanimously backed legislation to give Congress a say in the Iran nuclear talks. In the biggest surprise of all, the White House said Obama would sign the measure if it passed the full Congress. For a capital city long stalled in gridlock, with the priorities of Republicans and Democrats rarely overlapping, it was a rare burst of bipartisanship – even if neither side wanted to admit it. It took Obama spokesman Josh Earnest 45 minutes of questions from reporters before he acknowledged on Tuesday that the president would sign the new Iran legislation. Even then he said the White House wasn’t “particularly thrilled” with the outcome. Republicans said the White House got boxed in when ad-

Protesters sit in the audience Tuesday during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee business meeting to debate and vote on the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 on Capitol Hill in Washington. ministration officials realized they would lose if it came down to a vote on a tougher Iran measure. “I know there’s been some changes in the administration’s position,” said Republican Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “That change occurred when they saw how many senators were going to vote for this, and only when that occurred.” Whether it was compromise or capitulation, it was the legislative process in action – something that Washington hasn’t seen much of in the past few years.
The agreement helps Obama keep alive his hopes for a legacy-building nuclear deal. And it spares him – for now – from the embarrassment of Congress overriding a veto, which is where lawmakers’ efforts to weigh in on the Iran negotiations appeared to be heading. The U.S. and its negotiating partners – Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China – reached a framework agreement with Iran on April 2 and have until June 30 to finalize an accord that aims to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from U.S. and international sanctions.
helm of a high poverty, urban district in California that faced a multi-million-dollar deficit. The selection of Anthony “Tony” Smith – GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner’s recommendation to the board – sends a message about the new Republican’s governor’s priorities for the state’s 860 school districts and its outdated school funding formula during an ongoing financial crisis.
in Springfield to mark his death is awkward because Illinois faces a financial crisis and Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed eliminating the state Historic Preservation Agency that manages sites including the tomb as it currently exists. He would roll the agency into another department. What’s more, the popular tourist site was pilloried in this month’s issue of National Geographic magazine as having “all the historical character of an office lobby.”
Obama argued that Corker’s original legislation risked endangering a potential deal and leaving the U.S. to blame. The president had pledged to veto Corker’s proposal that would give Congress 60 days to review any final nuclear accord. That original proposal also would have required the president to certify that Iran was not directly supporting or carrying out terrorism against the U.S. or Americans anywhere in the world, a tall order that the administration staunchly opposed. As Congress prepared to return to Washington this week after a spring break, administration officials held numerous briefings and one-on-one discussions with lawmakers. Obama called Corker, as well as Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee. Despite all that, Corker and Cardin were still trying to stitch together a compromise Tuesday morning. Shortly before noon, Secretary of State John Kerry was in a closeddoor meeting with lawmakers, still making the administration’s case against the bill. But a compromise was gaining support. The committee voted 19-0 to approve it and Corker and Cardin, smiling, exited a hearing room and stepped before TV cameras.
BRIEFS State panel strips ex-lawmaker’s pension ELGIN – A state panel has stripped former Illinois state Rep. Keith Farnham’s pension after he was convicted of federal child pornography charges.

kept nonpublic Chicago won’t release recording of teen’s killing The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Months after a teenager was shot 16 times by a Chicago police officer, the city is still refusing to release the dash-cam video of the fatal shooting and didn’t even show it to aldermen Wednesday before they approved a $5 million settlement with the family. The October shooting death of Laquon McDonald hasn’t generated the same kind of national attention as other recent confrontations involving officers. After some, in such places as South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arizona, video was released that quickly went viral. In approving a settlement even before McDonald’s family filed a lawsuit, some members of the Chicago City Council disagreed on whether releasing the video could spark the kind of angry protests seen elsewhere. While Danny Solis said making it public could “fan the flames,” fellow Alderman
Howard Brookins said fear of demonstrations or riots shouldn’t drive the decision. “I need this to stop, [and] if you don’t show the video and this continues to happen then we’re still heading down that path,” he said. Authorities say McDonald was wielding a knife and refused to drop it when officers followed him for several blocks. Another officer who responded to a call for backup fired the fatal shots. That officer, who hasn’t been identified, has been stripped of his police powers and put on desk duty, but no decision has been made on whether he’ll face criminal charges. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday that police and the FBI are withholding it because it is “central to their investigation.” In a statement, city officials said they were “confident this video will be released at the appropriate time when their investigation is complete.” Previously in Chicago, security video from a tavern helped convict an off-duty police officer who could be seen in 2007 pummeling a female bartender – an incident that many have speculated wouldn’t have resulted in charges if not for the video.
What causes children to feel scared of sleeping? SPONSORED BY
Nighttime fears and nightmares are common, especially during the preschool years, but can also occur in older children and adolescents. They are part of normal development, as children’s imaginations develop and they begin to understand that things can be harmful. There are times nightmares are the result of a frightening experience but they can also seem to come from nowhere. Family conflict and parental anxiety can also play a role. Anything that makes a child more emotionally aroused is going to make him more anxious. Some children learn saying they are afraid is an effective stalling tactic toward bedtime. However, children and adolescents with sleep issues really have an anxiety disorder; these are generally children who also worry during the day or are anxious about things. How to respond to a child’s
nightmare? A child is going to need reassurance after a nightmare, especially younger children. As children get older, parents will want to start teaching them coping skills for when they are anxious or scared. No matter the age, though, reassurance is going to go a long way to helping children feel safe and secure. There are also things that parents can do to help. With younger children, a security object such as a favorite stuffed animal or a blanket can help them feel relaxed and safe in bed. Other things that can help are leaving a low nightlight on and teaching relaxation techniques. Children can also use their imagination to help settle down and fall back to sleep. Have the child imagine a different ending to the nightmare, hang a dream catcher over the bed which helps catch the “bad dreams,” or have them draw pictures of the nightmare that they crumple up and throw away.

preparing to launch another offensive from the western side of the city, describing the situation as “critical.” The IS was also trying to take control of the main highway that goes through Ramadi to cut off supplies, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Tahseen Ibrahim acknowledged that Islamic State militants “gained a foothold in some areas” in Anbar. But he said reinforcements were sent to the province and that airstrikes from the U.S.-led coalition were supporting Iraqi forces. “The situation is under control, and the standoff will be resolved in the coming hours,” Ibrahim told The Associated Press. He added, however, that most of the villagers in the area had fled from their homes amid the fighting.

BAGHDAD – The Islamic State extremist group launched an offensive Wednesday in Iraq’s western Anbar province, capturing three villages near the provincial capital of Ramadi in what was the most significant threat to the city by the Sunni militants to date. The militants’ push comes after the Islamic State was dealt a major blow earlier this month, when Iraqi troops routed the group from Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s hometown. Wednesday’s fighting could also further threaten Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad. Nearly a decade ago, Ramadi was one of the strongholds of the insurgency in the U.S.-led war in Iraq. It now is mostly held by Iraqi government forces, although militants control some parts of it, mainly on the outskirts.
In a dawn advance, IS extremists seized the villages of Sjariyah, Albu-Ghanim and Soufiya, which had also been under government control until now, and residents said they had to flee their homes. Fighting was also taking place on the eastern edges of Ramadi, about a mile from a government building, they added. In Soufiya, the militants bombed a police station and took over a power plant. The residents, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared for their safety, said airstrikes were trying to back up Iraqi troops. Iraqi security officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Around noon Wednesday, the militants opened another front with government troops on three other villages northeast of Ramadi, residents added. An Iraqi intelligence official said the militants were

McHenry bats stay hot
PR rallies in 7th to edge C-G By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge second baseman Connor Schneider celebrated his 18th birthday with three solidly hit balls and two singles in a win against McHenry on Tuesday. The day after his birthday was not shaping up to be as memorable, with two strikeouts and a weak ground ball to first base Wednesday against Cary-Grove. Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro considered pinch hitting for Schneider, who worked a little self-psychology before his seventh inning at-bat. “I was just trying to flush my earlier at-bats and keep my mind clear,” Schneider said. “I wasn’t thinking of much of anything at that point.” Schneider, hitting with one out and the bases loaded, lined a single to right-center field off Trojans reliever Shane Barlas to drive in two runs and give the Wolves a 6-5 victory in their Fox Valley Conference crossover baseball game. Cal Aldridge jogged in from third, while Jacob Carpentier raced home from second with the winning run, sliding around C-G catcher Wyatt Mascarella to set off a celebration.

Pitcher allows run on 4 hits in spot start By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – When McHenry starting pitchers need some relief, they typically turn to right-hander Marcus Reiser. Wednesday was no different, except that the call came much earlier than usual. The Warriors’ pitching staff was taxed and tired heading into its sixth game in six days. With all of the typical starters
already spent, the Warriors opted for Reiser, a senior who made only one spot start this spring. Pitching outside his typical role, the reliever pitched like not only a starter but an ace in McHenry’s 10-3 Fox Valley Conference crossover victory against Woodstock at Emricson Park. He struck out six and allowed one run on four hits in five innings to help the Warriors bounce back from Tuesday’s loss at Prairie Ridge. “We were a little thin in pitching,” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said. “He came in today and did really well.” Reiser’s only other start this season came when the team made a trip to Louisville. In that start, Reiser said he
“couldn’t find the strike zone.” Wednesday, he had solid command, throwing 52 of his 94 pitches for strikes. He peppered the zone with his fastball, which has been clocked previously in the high 70s and low 80s, and mixed in his breaking ball effectively. The Warriors (8-4 overall, 3-1 FVC Valley Division) provided plenty of run support behind their starter. And they wasted no time doing it. On just the second pitch of the game Jack Glosson hit a home run to right field to start his 4-for-4 day. Woodstock (2-7, 0-4 FVC Valley), which has lost four in a row, has found itself in early holes in each of the games during its losing streak. Again,
the Blue Streaks had to fight from behind. They trailed, 2-0, after one and 4-0 after three. “Right away. that kind of puts us in a deflated mindset,” Woodstock coach John Oliveria said. The Blue Streaks closed the gap to 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning. But in the top of the seventh, McHenry put up five runs on four hits to put the game out of reach. Sophomore Bobby Miller hit a 3-run home runs and Brian Kennedy knocked a 2-RBI single to provide the necessary insurance runs. “When we get ahead closing a team out or putting them away,” Rockweiler said. “I thought we did a good job of that today.”
SOFTBALL: JACOBS 5, CL SOUTH 4
Eagles shake off rough 1st inning By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Wednesday’s softball game between Jacobs and Crystal Lake South was a matchup between two of the hottest teams in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division. The Gators entered the game winning nine of their first 11, while Jacobs rebounded from a slow start by winning six of its past eight. On this day, however, it was the Golden Eagles who kept the hot play going, as Jacobs rebounded from a rough first inning to defeat South, 5-4, in the FVC Valley opener for both teams at South. Early on, it looked as though South (9-3 overall, 0-1 FVC Valley) was going to cruise. The Gators sent nine batters to the plate in the first inning and scored three times, with the key hit a two-run home run by Jenica Terry. Jacobs (7-7, 1-0) didn’t do much offensively in the first two innings, and all that changed the second time through the lineup. The first six batters for the Golden Eagles reached base in the third inning, and four of them scored to give Jacobs its first lead of the game. The offensive success that inning is something Jacobs coach Katie O’Brien likes to see from a lineup that is constantly changing. “We still aren’t 100 percent locked into what are lineup will be, but we are getting close,” O’Brien said. “We played some really tough teams early in the season and that will definitely help us as we start conference play.” The score remained the same until the fifth, when

Addante rebounded from a rough first inning in the circle and relied on her defense to help earn the complete-game victory in her first varsity conference start. “I stayed calm after that first inning and really worked on keeping them off balance and working the strike zone,” Addante said. “I really worked on adjusting my pitches to where they were hitting the ball.” South had its chances, but after a successful first inning couldn’t get the hits to fall, and when the ball was hit hard it was right at a Jacobs fielder. “The story of this game was missed opportunities,” Gators coach Scott Busam said. “I have so much faith in this batting order from one to nine, but today we just couldn’t get that hit we needed. We will bounce back and learn from this.”

base with one out, Koepke fell behind, 3-0, to Grace Pilz but came back to strike her and the next batter out. “Cool, calm and collected,” DiFrancesca said of Koepke’s performance. “I just loved the way that she threw today. She had great location, hitting some spots. She was getting that ball up in the zone for strikes and bringing it down.” Koepke added an RBI
groundout in the top of the fifth, when McHenry sent all nine batters to the plate again and scored four runs on five hits.

Sophomore strong in first start By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A midweek diversion from the conference baseball schedule gave Crystal Lake South an opportunity to take risks and “work on some little things,” coach Brian Bogda said. Hosting Johnsburg on Wednesday, the Gators were aggressive on the basepaths and sent a first-time starter to the mound. The Gators clubbed 17 hits, and sophomore starting pitcher Andrew Engelking allowed only one as South beat Johnsburg, 15-1, in five innings. “It was a day that we could go and take some chances, put the guys in some opportunities to take those chances and work on things for when we get going again tomorrow playing our conference games,” Bogda said. Engelking took full advantage of his first varsity start, going four innings and picking up the win. “I was just looking to throw strikes. I was a little wild at first but I trust my defense I just tried to get it over the plate and have them hit it,” Engelking said. The right-hander allowed

q THE BIG MOMENT The Gators sent eight batters to the plate in the bottom of the first, recording six hits and building an early 4-0 lead. only an unearned run. “He did a nice job. ... He mixed speeds, kept the ball down, gave us a chance, didn’t do too much there,” Bogda said. “That was good, he kept us in the game and we gave him enough offensive support where he could relax. And I was proud of our older guys to give him that advantage, because it’s not easy when it’s your first start
he’s probably a little nervous.” The Gators (11-2-1) were aggressive from the jump, stealing five bases in the first inning. The hosts started the scoring with six hits and four runs in the bottom of the first. After Johnsburg left the bases loaded in the top of the second, South tacked on three more in the bottom half. Backto-back singles by Collin Chubb and Nick Van Witzenburg set the table for Cam Geisser who laced a 2-run double off the top of the left field fence. “I’ve been really focusing on hitting early in the count and not getting two strikes on me. So I’m just trying to hit the first one that looks good to me,” Geisser said after finishing with a pair of hits and four RBIs. South broke the game open in the bottom of the third. The Gators sent 12 batters to the plate, scoring seven runs on six hits to make it 14-0. Johnsburg’s lone run came in the top of the fourth when Michael Crow reached on an error and later scored on a wild pitch. Andrew Swiatly got the run back with an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth, making it 15-1.
PR’s Mohapp earns win in relief • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 “I thought I had just tied the game,” Schneider said. “I thought, ‘This is great, I redeemed myself a little bit.’ Then I saw [Carpentier] rounding third and was like, ‘He’s got a chance.’ ” Prairie Ridge (10-4 overall, 3-1 FVC Fox Division) got two scoreless innings of relief from Matt Mohapp (1-0) to finish a game in which the lead changed hands three times. C-G (8-6, 4-1 FVC Valley) scored first, Prairie Ridge went ahead, 3-2, in the third, then the Trojans jumped up, 5-3, on Wyatt Mascarella’s
two-run home run in the fifth. “It was unbelievable [to play in],” said Aldridge, who doubled with one out in the seventh to start the winning rally. “They’re a great team. We had the momentum that last inning because Mohapp shut the door. We just had to go up and swing it, and we did. We did a great job.” C-G starter Larkin Hanselmann retired Dustin Thelander to start the seventh, but Aldridge, who was 3 for 4, doubled deep toward left-center, out of reach of C-G’s diving center fielder Jimmy Perkins. Carpentier then lined a single to center and was able to advance to second on a throw to third. The
Trojans intentionally walked Carson Getzelman to set up a force play. “I thought about pinch hitting for Connor, but he’s had so many good at-bats lately, in the last five or six games, I figured he was going to come through,” Pecoraro said. “That was great to see. Sometimes the best move is no move. Win or lose today, I would not have been upset with our guys because we played a good, clean game. What a great baseball game to be a part of.” Trojans coach Don Sutherland felt like his team let one get away with an unearned run in the sixth and by letting Carpentier reach second in the seventh.
Bulls clinch No. 3 seed Injuries big concern heading into playoffs By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It wasn’t easy. Very little seems to be with this Bulls team this season. But thanks to 45 points from the bench in the 91-85 win over the Atlanta Hawks, the Bulls captured the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs and will host Milwaukee on Saturday in the first game of the best-of-seven series. They will do so with a list of question marks. First, and maybe the most serious, Taj Gibson was forced to leave the game in the third quarter when a left shoulder strain that had been bothering him again showed itself. Then there was the mysterious case of Derrick Rose, who was supposed to be using the regular-season finale against Atlanta as one last tune-up game before the high intensity of postseason basketball kicked in. Rose, who had Feb. 27 surgery on his right knee, had played the previous four games, and was looking to get a fifth game under his belt. But after a less-than-stellar first half in which Rose was 1 for 3 from the field and had four turnovers and one assist in 10 minutes, he sat the entire second half with knee soreness. “We just wanted to play it safe,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “He would have preferred to have played some, but I just wanted to make sure that the guys that are nicked up get

Rose played only 10 minutes because of knee soreness. some rest now.” Not exactly the plan for Rose, who had his coach and teammates excited about how he had looked the two previous games going into the finale. “Steady improvement,” Thibodeau said of where Rose was earlier in the day. “Physically, he’s feeling good. Mentally, he’s in a good place. I think the more that he’s out there, the better it is because it’s him developing chemistry with his teammates as well and understanding what we’re looking for in different situations. The only way you can get that is by being out there. He’s been through enough of these now where I think he has a good understanding of what he has to do.”

CL man’s fishing lodge in Nicaragua like 5-star resort Last week I wrote about James Veugeler, a Crystal Lake resident who began a new life at the age of 50 when he quit working and decided to spend his days traveling to exotic locations to go fishing. Tough life, no? Veugeler was invited on a trip to Nicaragua’s Rio Indio Lodge, a private facility that had been built as a club for a group of rich Americans. Veugeler’s timing was perfect. He loved the lodge, and the owners were in the process of putting it up for sale. Jim was fortunate enough to be able to buy into the operation as part of a small group of other investors. The new owners turned Rio Indio Lodge into a fishing resort that would be open to the public. Veugeler was appointed to the board of directors of the lodge and was named managing partner. “It took me quite a while to catch on to the intricacies of running a hotel in a jungle,” he admits. Rio Indio Lodge appears to be rather different than what I believe most people would expect a fishing resort to look like. Checking the website (therioindiolodge.com) will show you a place that much more resembles a five-star Caribbean resort than a fishing camp. The cabins are top shelf and the grounds well-manicured. Veugeler promises exceptional food and beverage service that is included in the price of your trip. The Rama Indians who provide the staffing are accommodating to tourists. Rio Indio Lodge looks like a place you’d take your spouse and family, not a place to go fishing with “the guys.” Rio Indio Lodge is secluded and private. It is surrounded by 640,000 acres of tropical rainforest. There is no logging in the region and no netting of fish. Rio Indio receives top marks from the World Heritage Foundation. In addition to fishing, there are countless touring and adventure possibilities available. Nicaragua is home to more than two dozen volcanoes, mountains and indigenous species of plants and animals that do not exist anywhere else in the world. You fly in to Costa Rica and then are taken to the lodge by boat or via small prop plane. To answer the obvious question, travel to Nicaragua is considered to be very, very safe. Round-trip airfare to Costa Rica runs about $400. After that, everything else is included in a price of $168 per day, per person. That’s about $1,000 plus airfare for a six-night vacation. That is less than I had figured. So, Mr. Veugeler, tell us about the fishing: “You can fish all week and never see another boat, not even one of ours. We have great tarpon fishing, tremendous snook and our rainbow bass fishing is phenomenal. You can fish year round, but December and January can give a lot of rain and high winds. The rainy season is in June and July, but after that, the tarpon start their run and it gets wild. “You can catch fish in Nicaragua in-shore. Elsewhere in Central America you have to head deep. Yes, the big tarpon are out there deep, but we get good fish up to a hundred pounds in-shore. Off-shore, the huge tarpon grow to be 250 pounds.” It’s not all work for Veugeler when he heads to Nicara-

gua for his two weeks of duty every month. “I learned fly fishing from the best. Guys like Jim Chapralis and Paul Melchior, who I know are friends of yours, taught me the secrets. I have a good reputation and a lot of our guests demand that I spend a day or two out on the water fishing with them. It’s tough duty, but I have to take care of our guests demands,” Veugeler said with a laugh. ••• I was corrected by Jim Dalbesio from Phillips, Wisconsin, about a mistake I made in a recent article. He wrote: “I read your recent article on St. Croix rods with interest, as I fish exclusively with St. Croix Avids, and am fortunate to live only 25 miles from the St. Croix plant in Park Falls, Wis. You have your series confused a little, as the Legend Tournament, which is one step up from the Avid series, runs from $240 to $280. The Legend Elite series runs from $330 to $380 and the Extreme series runs from $370 to $440. “Now this is just my opinion, but upgrading from an Avid to a Legend Tournament is just not worth the price, unless you just want to tell the world you own a Legend series. The Avid 6-foot-8 medium/ extra fast spinning is one of the absolute finest walleye rods you can have in your hand. It’s every bit the rod that the Legend Tournament is, and it is priced at $200. Try it and you will agree it is the most versatile walleye rod on the market. You will also save yourself some bucks over the Legend series. Just a thought from a fellow walleye fisherman from Northern Wisconsin.” Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the information.
FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The nice spring rain will help the fishing get better. The water came up in temperature and volume. Most ponds and lakes now are about 50 degrees, and that is a good number to get the bass and crappies active. Small jigs tipped with a wax worm or a minnow should work well for the panfish. Catfish will hit cut bait or a nightcrawler. I like to use a sliding weight for catfish. Bass will hit spinnerbaits, shallow diving crank baits like a Mann’s Baby 1-Minus, Rat-L-Traps and Chatterbaits around emerging weed growth. Soft plastic lures like Yamamoto Senkos or Zoom flukes will also be very productive.” Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Travis Wood pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning and Anthony Rizzo hit his first home run of the season, leading the Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. The Cubs (5-3) won two of three games in the series and moved back into first place in the National League Central. Wood (1-1) walked two and struck out seven. It was a nice bounce-back from his first start of the season in Colorado where he yielded three runs on seven hits in 4 innings. Cincinnati starter Jason Marquis (0-1) was in trouble from the outset, allowing five runs – four earned – on seven hits in four innings. The Cubs have had a knack for scoring late so far this season, but wasted no time jumping on top in this one. Leadoff hitter Dexter Flower began the bottom of the first with a double and

The Cubs won, 5-0. trotted home as the next batter, Rizzo, homered into the right-field bleachers that are still under construction for a 2-0 lead. The Cubs added two more in the second. Jonathan Herrera singled in a run and the other run scored when Jorge Soler – after Rizzo was intentionally walked – was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The Cubs stretched the lead to 5-0 in the fourth on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Miguel Montero. That support was plenty for Wood, who retired the first 10 batters and allowed only one runner to reach second base in the first seven innings. Wood was pulled after allowing a single and a walk
to the first two batters of the eighth. Phil Coke came on and stranded both runners to preserve the shutout. Neil Ramirez – who left after just three pitches with an injury and Brian Schlitter pitched the ninth.
Cubs third baseman Mike Olt (right wrist) didn’t start. He was hit by a pitch last weekend against the Colorado Rockies.

Ventura defends decision By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN CLEVELAND – White Sox manager Robin Ventura will be second-guessed for asking Adam Eaton to bunt with two strikes and two runners in the ninth inning of the White Sox’ maddening 4-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. Fair enough. Eaton fouled off three fastballs from Cody Allen and struck out, giving the Indians closer a free out. Eaton would have spared his manager a good deal of criticism had he gotten the bunt down and Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu, arguably the Sox’s two best hitters, pushed the tying runs across. But that’s the thing with these Sox. Based on their performance over the first eight games, asking them to execute just about anything has been a big ask. If they’re not running into outs on the bases, they’re giving them away on the field
– the latter being the case in Wednesday’s loss – or not executing other things like Eaton’s bunt. The Sox’s bullpen has shown signs of late of being a quality bunch. The same can be said of their starting pitching, and Robin Ventura the lineup as constructed should be productive. It’s those things that win or lose close baseball games in between that haven’t been good. “A lot of miscues that lead to runs,” Ventura said, “and they end up biting you at the end.” Ventura, who likes the bunt as much as any manager, defended his decision to have Eaton lay one down after Allen had walked pinch-hitter Emilio Bonificacio and hit
Micah Johnson on the toe to give the Sox life. After Eaton, Cabrera hit a bullet to shortstop Jose Ramirez but beat out a double play and Abreu struck out to end the game. “You expect him to get that down,” Ventura said. “Even in the past, he’s done it with two strikes. He’s comfortable doing it. You just have to be able to get it down and get it over to the third baseman and move everybody up. “When you’ve got Melky and Jose coming up next, and with LaRoche back there, you want to get those guys in scoring position as quick as you can and make them have to pitch to those guys.” Those guys didn’t come through. But Eaton, who is batting .118, was upset with himself. “You have to produce,” Eaton said. “That’s how good times win ballgames, and when we don’t do it, we don’t expect to win.”
BLACKHAWKS
Vermette benched for Game 1 By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Viktor Stalberg knows a little something about what Antoine Vermette is going through right now. Stalberg, now a winger for the Predators, spent his share of time in Joel Quenneville’s doghouse, benched for the first two games of the second round of the playoffs in 2013, then again for the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final. “It’s a tough situation to be in, but you can’t make it about yourself,” Stalberg said before Wednesday’s playoff opener against his old Blackhawks teammates. “It’s
about winning games, and I think that’s what they’re looking to do. If Joel thinks that that’s their best lineup, that’s what he’s going to go with.” And right now, Quenneville thinks the Hawks’ best lineup doesn’t include Vermette – the most sought-after forward in the league at the trade deadline, a guy for whom the Hawks gave up their first-round draft pick this spring, along with defenseman Klas Dahlbeck. With Patrick Kane back in the lineup for Game 1, Vermette is the odd-man out. Quenneville said it was “performance-based.” Vermette, who was used as a wing more than as a center,
his natural position, had three assists in 19 games since joining the Hawks. Quenneville said Vermette is handling it as well as could be expected. “He was understanding of the situation, and we know depth is going to be important going forward,” Quenneville said. “Commend him for having the right attitude in a tough situation.” Hawks general manager Stan Bowman, whose big deadline acquisitions – Vermette and defenseman Kimmo Timonen – haven’t yet paid off, downplayed the situation, and said the Hawks are in it for the long haul this spring. He thinks both players will play key roles.
Crawford pulled; Darling makes 42 saves after 1st period • HAWKS Continued from page C1 crammed a series worth of momentum swings into this one. The Hawks fell behind, 3-0 in the first period, and Corey Crawford’s night ended early – a message from Joel Quenneville to his reeling team as much as to his goalie. They got it all back in an ice-tilting sec-
ond period. And then Darling, the out-of-nowhere (and out of Lemont) fairy tale who played for Nashville’s AHL affiliate in Milwaukee last season, willed the Hawks into overtime one brilliant, split-legged toe save at a time. He made 42 saves in all in a spectacular performance. And then on it went, long into the night, each team killing a penalty in overtime and
dodging more than a few bullets along the way. Playoff hockey at its best. The Music City was rocking early, as the Predators chased Crawford with first-period goals by Colin Wilson, Viktor Stalberg, and Wilson again. But the unflappable Hawks responded in the second period. Niklas Hjalmarsson scored off a terrific Teuvo Teravainen feed on an early 4-on-4 situa-
tion, angrily slapping a stray stick out of the air rather than celebrating, and the Hawks meant business. Patrick Sharp scored on a 5-on-3 power play at 8:32, and Jonathan Toews tied it on a power play at 13:50. Patrick Kane, in his first game since Feb. 24, had the primary assist on both goals. It was a gutty comeback by a team that’s been here before. In fact, the last time these two

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez listens as the guilty verdict is read during his murder trial Wednesday at Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Mass. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez’s mansion, witness testimony and cellphone records that tracked Lloyd’s movements. Hernandez’s lawyer, James Sultan, acknowledged for the first time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed. But the attorney pinned the shooting on two of Hernandez’s friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, saying his client was a “23-year-old kid” who witnessed a shocking crime and did not know what to do. Wallace and Ortiz will stand trial later. Prosecutors have suggested Lloyd may have been killed because he knew too much about Hernandez’s alleged involvement in a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston that killed two. But they were not allowed to tell the jury that because the judge said it was speculation.
As a result, they never offered jurors a motive beyond saying Hernandez appeared angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights before the killing. In the 2012 case, Hernandez is accused of gunning down a pair of men over a spilled drink at a nightclub. All 12 jurors and three alternates spoke to reporters Wednesday, saying they were shocked by the defense admission that Hernandez was at the scene of the killing – an acknowledgement they said helped confirm he was guilty. They also described how the judge talked to them privately after they reached their decision and told them about other allegations and evidence not presented in the case, including the 2012 slayings and the last texts Lloyd sent minutes before he died saying that said he was with “NFL.” The jurors said that information reaffirmed their feeling that they had made the right decision.

By MICHELLE R. SMITH FALL RIVER, Mass. – Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for a deadly latenight shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him. Hernandez, 25, who had been considered one of the top tight ends in professional football, shook his head, pursed his lips and sat down after the jury forewoman pronounced him guilty in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée.

The motive never has been explained. Police almost immediately zeroed in on the former Pro Bowl athlete because they found in Lloyd’s pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented.

Girl’s embarrassment signals ‘Tight control’ of blood sugar it’s time for a shaving lesson might not be best for some Dear Abby: My husband and I are having a disagreement about one of our daughters (we have three). Our 8-year-old is very hairy. It is noticeable, and she doesn’t like wearing shorts, skirts or dresses because of it. Her classmates tease her about it. I want to teach her how to shave her legs or show her how to use hair remover. Her father is angry I want to “do this” to his little girl. I was a hairy child as well, and I was teased about my hairy legs and my unibrow, which my parents wouldn’t let me shave or pluck. I remember how painful it was, how upset it made me and how different I felt from my classmates because of it. I told myself as a child that when I grew up, I’d never let my daughter go through the same torment. I still feel that way. Should we wait a few more years, or should I buy the products I need and teach her what she’ll be doing for the rest of her life? –
You’re that child’s mother, and you know what to do – so do it. Sometimes girls have to stick together, and this is one of them. Dear Abby: After 26 years of marriage, I recently left my husband. We live only a few blocks away from each other, so we run into each other often at the store, the gas station, everywhere. My problem is more about running into some of the women he cheated on me with. One of them always ends up at the same shopping center or restaurant I happen to be at. She thinks I don’t know who she is. At first I didn’t want to say anything to her, but now it has really gotten to me. What can I tell her the next time she meets up with me? I want to keep myself from yelling at her. Please help me. – Can’t Find The Words

not to be able to “find the words” rather than pick a fight. My advice is to avoid her as much as possible. Dear Abby: I recently took a long international flight. The man sitting next to me coughed during the eighthour flight without once covering his mouth. What is a polite way to tell someone to cover his/ her mouth when coughing? Two days into my trip, I developed a fever and a bad cough, so it seems he passed his illness on to me. – Fever-

It is not impolite to ask people who cough and sneeze to please cover their mouth so you won’t catch what they have, and that’s what you should have done right away, or ask to change your seat if an unoccupied one was available. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O.

Dear Dr. K: I have Type 2 diabetes. For years, my doctor emphasized the importance of tight blood sugar control. But I recently read tight control might not make sense for everyone. Why not? Dear Reader: Millions of people with diabetes, and their doctors, are asking themselves the same question. It’s a confusing and controversial area. I’ll do my best to put it in context and to explain my own views. People with Type 2 diabetes have high levels of blood sugar if they don’t take medication that lowers their blood sugar level. Some medicines that successfully lower blood sugar – particularly insulin and sulfonylurea drugs – can be too successful, however: They can drop sugar levels too low. This can produce confused thinking, sleepiness, falls and fractures, loss of consciousness and even death. So the goal in treating diabetes is to lower high blood sugar levels to normal, but not to below normal. Getting the levels down to normal is called “tight control” of blood sugar. There are two ways of measuring blood sugar. You can measure the sugar level at the
ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff moment you sample the blood, or you can estimate what the average sugar level has been over the past two to three months using a test called hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Most doctors urge their diabetic patients to aim for an HbA1c of 7 percent or less. This is considered tight control. Aiming for tight blood sugar control makes sense for almost all patients when they are first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. In large part, that’s because it often can be achieved with diet and exercise alone. Diet and exercise sometimes can lower blood sugar levels to normal – without the risk of dropping them too low. Several studies over the past decade have indicated using medicines to achieve tight control in older ill patients may lead to worse health than shooting for somewhat less than tight control. Tight control may be too much of a good thing. A more modest goal (targeting an HbA1c level between 7 percent and 8.9 percent, for example) might make
more sense. A recent study of 1,288 people age 65 or older found about two-thirds of people in relatively poor health had achieved an average HbA1c of 7 percent or less over the 10-year study period. That sounds like good news: Controlling blood sugar helps prevent long-term health problems. But the authors of the study argue that for the sicker patients, longterm benefit would likely be outweighed by the short-term risks of periodically causing dangerously low blood sugar. Their study did not directly demonstrate such health risks; it was not designed to do so. If you are taking insulin or sulfonylurea drugs, particularly if you have several other diseases besides diabetes, talk to your doctor. You might benefit from more frequent home blood sugar testing to detect low blood sugar. If the testing reveals your blood sugar sometimes gets below normal, maybe it’s better to reduce the dose of medicine a bit. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

CHEF HOMARO CANTU DIES
THINGS
WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT
Thursday, April 16, 2015 • Section C • Page 8
CHICAGO – Chef Homaro Cantu, who artfully blended science and fine dining at his Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant, has died. The 38-year-old Cantu, one of Chicago’s most renowned chefs, turned cooking into alchemy through his brand of molecular gastronomy at Moto, the restaurant he led in the city’s West Loop neighborhood. His death was ruled a suicide by the Cook County medical examiner’s office, which said Wednesday that Cantu had hanged himself. Cantu’s body was found Tuesday in a building on the northwest side where he had planned to open a brewery by this summer. His customers dined on edible menus, carbonated fruit and a fish preparation that cooked in a tabletop polymer box, among other foods.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen (center) cheers at the end of Wednesday’s show from the Colcci Summer collection at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.
Gisele retires from runway SAO PAULO – Gisele Bundchen bid adieu to the catwalk Wednesday night, strutting her stuff at an emotionally charged show in Sao Paulo that she said will be her last stroll down a runway in a 20-year career that has made her a fashion legend. The 34-year-old Brazilian mother of two, who is married to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, has said she wants to spend more time with her family but has also vowed to continue working in the industry. As the world’s highest-paid model, according to a 2014 ranking by Forbes magazine, Bundchen is the face of Chanel, Carolina Herrera, Pantene and other top brands. She also designs her own line of flip flops and lingerie. A household name the world over, Bundchen rivals soccer legend Pele for the status of Brazil’s most internationally famous citizen, and her meteoric rise from a middle-class family in a small, rural town to superstar is the stuff of modeling legend. Bundchen made her final catwalk appearance during Sao Paulo Fashion Week for Colcci, the Brazilian streetwear label she has represented since 2005. In a posting Wednesday on her Instagram account, Bundchen wrote, “Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.” In an interview broadcast on the Globo television network Wednesday, she compared her life to a cup of water filled to the brim. “If your cup is full, how are you going to put more into it?” she said in Portuguese. “I’m emptying my cup so I can put more things into it.”
Israeli ultra-Orthodox site clips Kim Kardashian from photo
Jack White plans break from touring after 5 acoustic shows
JERUSALEM – An Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jewish news website has cut Kim Kardashian – one of the world’s most photographed women – from a photo taken of her in Jerusalem this week. The original photo of Kardashian, her husband, Kanye West, and Jerusalem’s Mayor Nir Barkat was altered to put Kardashian behind a restaurant receipt. Kardashian was blurred in another. Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at the Kikar HaShabbat website, said Wednesday they removed Kardashian because she’s a “pornographic symbol” who contradicts ultra-Orthodox values. Within the Ultra-Orthodox community, pictures of women often aren’t shown out of modesty. In January, an ultra-Orthodox newspaper removed German chancellor Angela Merkel from a photo.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Rocker Jack White says he’s about to take a long break from performing live but not before holding five shows in the five states where he hasn’t yet played. The former White Stripes frontman isn’t saying which states those are but speculation is widespread the performances will take place in Alaska, Idaho, the Dakotas and Wyoming. The performances will be announced at 8 a.m. local time, on the day of the show. Tickets will cost just $3, be limited to one per person and available only at the venue door starting at noon on the day of the show, according to White’s website. The five upcoming performances will be White’s first acoustic-only shows. Joining him will be fiddler Fats Kaplin, singer-fiddler Lillie Mae Rische and bass guitarist Dominic Davis.
Nat Geo network making first comedy
Wilderness, its inhabitants to star in ‘Our Planet’ series
NEW YORK – The National Geographic Channel, not usually a place you’d look for laughs, is making its first comedy. The network said Wednesday that it is making a miniseries, “History of the World ... For Now,” that takes on the broadest of possible topics with the help of cartoons, puppets and the like. It is expected to air next winter. “I know it may sound like oil and water, but I refuse to believe our sophisticated National Geographic audience is not ready” to experiment with a new genre, said Tim Pastore, the network’s president of original programming and production. The network is making it with producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, whose previous credits include HBO’s “Silicon Valley” and Fox’s “King of the Hill.” Nat Geo also said it is making a four-hour miniseries, “Saints & Strangers,” about the settlers who came to America on the Mayflower. It is set to air around Thanksgiving.
LOS ANGELES – The sweeping documentary series “Planet Earth” is getting a sequel. “Our Planet” will focus on the Earth’s last wilderness areas and the animals living there, the project’s British producers said Wednesday. The filmmakers said they plan to use the latest digital camera technology as they venture from the planet’s ice caps to ocean depths to deserts and remote forests. Audiences will have to be patient: The eight-part series will take four years to make and is planned for a 2019 debut for Netflix customers internationally. “Our Planet” is being produced by U.K.-based Silverback Films in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund, an independent conservation group. Silverback company directors Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, whose credits include “Frozen Planet” and “African Cats” as well as “Planet Earth,” will lead the production.

HOMElife How families can prepare for downsizing to smaller homes During the housing market crash of the first decade of the 21st century, many families learned to get by with less. For some of those families, less lavish living fit like a glove, prompting them to change their lifestyles for the long haul. Downsizing to smaller homes was a move made by many families over the last several years. Some did so out of economic need, while others preferred the simpler lifestyle that often comes with living in a smaller home. Families about to downsize to smaller homes may find the task ahead of them daunting, but there are some ways to make the transition to less spacious residences go more smoothly. Discuss downsizing with kids. In many ways, youngsters adapt to change better than adults. But it s still a good idea for parents to explain downsizing to their children before they begin to prepare for their transitions to smaller living spaces. Kids who understand the reasons behind downsizing are more likely to embrace the move, while those who have not been involved in the process may find it more difficult to adjust. When the time comes to begin choosing items to discard, allow children to choose which of their items they will not be keeping. Respect their decisions, exercising patience if kids are initially reluctant or don’t seem to understand downsizing. Design a downsizing system. It is not uncommon for families to be lukewarm when the initial process of downsizing begins, as people are understandably hesitant to discard items they worked hard to accumulate or cherish for various reasons. A downsizing system can make that initial period less uncomfortable, especially if family members are together on the first day of downsizing. Let each family member take a turn choosing an item to sell, donate or discard, and continue so family members know everyone is in it together. Once kids have seen that everyone is making sacrifices, they are more likely to embrace downsizing. Begin in the attic, basement and garage. Downsizing to a smaller home often means less storage space, and attics, basements and garages tend to serve as in-house storage units where seldom-used items accumulate
over time. When trying to choose which items won’t be coming along to their smaller homes, families can start in their current homes attics, basements and garages, looking for items that take up too much space or those that will serve no practical purpose at their new homes. For example, that snow blower in the garage may be a godsend when the time comes to clear your expansive current driveway of another storm’s worth of snow, but it might not be worth the space it takes up if your next home has a short driveway or just on-street parking. Once rooms used primarily for storage have been cleaned out, you can then move on to other rooms in the house to find items that won t be going with you. Look to sell, donate or discard items that will not serve much purpose at your next home.
Don’t just discard, donate or sell. One of the hidden benefits of downsizing to a smaller home is the chance to make some money by selling those items you won’t be needing after you move into your new digs. Schedule a yard sale and give ample notice to neighbors or fellow community members so you can get as much as possible for the items you no longer need. If money is no object, donating your unwanted items to a local goodwill store or another charity is a great way to ensure your possessions find their way into the homes of people who truly need them. When getting rid of personal items, only discard those items that are no longer functional. If they can still serve a purpose, then someone can benefit from using them.
Promise to revisit the decision down the road after moving. Families who are downsizing for a lifestyle change as opposed to out of economic need can promise to revisit the decision together in the future. Families may be quick to adjust and be grateful for the change, while others might realize their decision did not produce the desired results. Promising to revisit the decision once the dust has settled can give everyone some peace of mind and make the transition that much easier.

Don’t get sidetracked by trivial matters when you have more important issues to contend with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An infatuation will cause confusion. Make sure that you deal with your responsibilities before you head out for some fun. Colleagues will be resentful if you leave work undone.

As sweet as she is, you wouldn't be able to imagine the long hard road she's been down. She came to us in December 2014 from a high volume kill shelter. Soon after arriving we observed some potential neurological symptoms. Though extensive testing was done, including an examination by a neurologist, the results were inconclusive and a definitive diagnosis was not made. She has improved tremendously with therapy and she has not exhibited any further neurological symptoms so far. She shares an area with one of our special needs cats and they are very cute together. She lets the cat drink her water and sleep in her bed. So if you have cats she would be just fine. She loves to go outside and take her time sniffing all over. She is always ready for love and attention from everyone she meets. She gets so happy when she is offered a little treat. Our volunteers and staff have fallen in love with her.You will never find a more laid back, quiet and gentle girl to share your life with. We feel she deserves a loving forever home this time. Let's all hope for a happy ending to Cupcake's story. She is currently available through our senior to senior program. Helping Paws is located at 2500 Harding Lane,Woodstock, Illinois. Our website is www.helpingpaws.net and our phone number is 815-338-4400.

Featuring a cast of pickpockets and presented by Woodstock Musical Theatre Company, “Oliver!” runs through April 26 at the Woodstock Opera House. Photo provided courtesy of @ChristySturm Photography
‘OLIVER!’ DESERVES EXCLAMATION POINT VIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels Note to readers: This is an occasional theater column. Reviews of productions throughout McHenry County will be written by various members of area theater companies, as well as educators. Full disclosure here, folks. I love the musical “Oliver!” It is the beloved musical of my youth –- I so wanted to BE a London urchin. It was the first theatrical production I saw overseas – in London with the masterful Ron Moody as Fagin. And it is the musical that I know and can sing all the songs from. Charles Dickens wrote “Oliver Twist” (or “The Parish Boy’s Progress”) in 1837; it wasn’t adapted into popular West End musical by Lionel Bart until 1960. (And thank you to producer David Merrick for bringing it to the U.S. in 1963.) Woodstock Musical Theatre Company once again has brought “Oliver!” to the Woodstock Opera House stage. The group’s first production in 1982 featured current stage manager Kathie Comella in the cast, and the second production in 1984 had Comella as the director. The current production’s director, Barry Norton, has done a commendable job of casting 32 energetic and dedicated performers – a challenge of Olympic proportions to say the least on the intimate Opera House stage. He also designed the simple and functional set, which is enhanced by roll-on and flown-down pieces. Norton’s “Oliver!” is a more light-hearted version than tradi-
“OLIVER!” WHEN: April 17-19 & 24-26 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: Schedule: 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturday; 3 p.m. Sundays. Presented by the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company. Based on the Dickens novel “Oliver Twist” and written by Lionel Bart, keeping to the lighter side of the book. The two acts run a total of 2 hours, 10 minutes, not including a 15-minute intermission. Tickets cost $23 for adults, $20 for students and seniors. Tickets and information: 815-338-5300 or www. woodstockoperahouse.com. tional productions, making it even more family friendly. And it’s good. But musicals are staff collaborations, and this “Oliver!” showcases a strong one. Kudos to music director Barb Neely, costumer Kathy Brunhke of Kats Closet and choreographer Jocelyn France, who all add the precise depth of entertainment and joy to the script and score performed by a melodiously talented live orchestra, which even sounds good warming up. Production coordinator Deb Spitzbart should be deservedly proud. As for the actors, young and old, they can sing and dance as proven repeatedly from the very first ensemble scene featuring the visually dazzling song “Consider Yourself” to Act Two’s uplifting “Who Will Buy.” Naturally, there are the stand outs: Casey Lyons, perfectly cast as Oliver, was born to play this part – the voice of an angel, a spot-on accent and acting chops of
a much older child. Jane Charlotte as Nancy commands the stage every single time she appears. Whether smiling, loving or tormented, she is always in the moment, and her voice is powerful and interpretive, best evidenced in “As Long as He Needs Me.” Barry Blodgett is a magical Fagin who works chemistry with both his urchins, the audience and in “Reviewing the Situation.” You just fall in love with him. Jim Auld as Bill Sykes is unrelentlessly scary and evil in his looming physicality and vocal prowess. And Ewan Parker-Eaton is a charming Artful Dodger. But there are also the scene stealers: Trent Halpin as Mr. Bumble and Mary Barrett as Mrs. Corney delight in the scene featuring the song “I Shall Scream”; David Frieze as Dr. Grimwig provokes much laughter from dialogue while examining the rescued Oliver; and Randy Peterknot is a very creepy Mr. Sourberry. (No wonder Oliver ran away from him.) As for those adorable, lovable, dirty urchins? “Where is Love?” On the Opera House stage. I attended the opening night production of “Oliver!” with a very appreciative and supportive audience. There were the usual minor glitches with lights, mics and a wayward Act Two fog that enveloped the orchestra and main floor, but truly, what opening night doesn’t have a glitch or two?

ADVENTURE
431 N. Walkup Ave., Crystal Lake Information: www.crystallakeparks.org/parks-facilities/veteran-acres.asp
Fiorina, who has been managing Veteran Acres for the past eight years, calls it a “get out and explore it park” with trails throughout it. Along with its own trails, McHenry County Conservation District’s Prairie Trail South also winds through Veteran Acres. Bounded by Walkup Avenue, Hillside Street and Route 176, what makes Veteran Acres so remarkable is all of its rare natural features, Fiorina said. From a graminoid fen and a gravel hill prairie to what was once a quarry and a pine forest, the park has so many origin stories no one knows which is correct. Families will enjoy the park because the trails are relatively easy to walk, and there are sights for everyone to see, including deer, rare plants and flowers, blue birds and big red-tailed hawks. “What’s so remarkable is that you can go less than a mile and go from a park to a woodland to a prairie to a wetland and back,” Fiorina said.

Moraine Hills State Park 1510 S. River Road, McHenry Information: www.dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/parks/r2/morhills.htm
More than 10 miles of trails make Moraine Hills popular for hikers. Three trails, surfaced with crushed limestone, wind their way through the park and offer exceptional scenic and wildlife viewing opportunities. The trails range in length from 2 miles to nearly 4 miles. To keep you on track, trails are color-coded and one way.

Lake in the Hills Fen
Another easy-to-get-to park situated close to residential areas and main streets is Lake in the Hills Fen. With more than a mile’s worth of hard-packed trails, hikers have the opportunity to walk through one of the most high quality nature preserves in Illinois, said Jeff Murray, restoration ecologist at Lake in the Hills Fen. “The native wildflower diversity and a nice rock outcropping that overlooks one of the nicest fens in Illinois” are some of the key attractions, Murray said. “You can’t see this in many parts of the state. It’s pretty amazing that the site has stayed so high quality.” Walkers should keep their eyes open for red-tailed hawks, marsh hawks and, later in the summer, compass plants, which are sunflowers that grow nearly 10 feet tall.
McHENRY COUNTY HIKES Story by CHRIS MORDI – editorial@nwherald.com
John Fiorina stood under a shelter in a far corner of Veteran Acres Park, a nature preserve near downtown Crystal Lake, on a gusty, sunny day. “McHenry County is blessed to have all of this land set aside,” he said over the roar of the wind. The word “blessed” troubled him a bit because it can be misinterpreted. As the manager of the nature center and natural resources at Veteran Acres, he meant McHenry County is fortunate to have had people with the necessary long view of the area’s wild spaces to preserve them. What has been set aside are some of Illinois’ most unique natural features, and they are all within easy reach. There are thousands of acres of preserved land in McHenry County. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has nearly 5,000 acres. The McHenry County Conservation District owns and manages more than 25,000 acres. Veteran Acres, the crown jewel of the Crystal Lake Park District’s preserved lands, totals 140 acres of explorable space. Many of these spaces are crisscrossed with trails that take weekend adventurers deep into prairies, marshes, woods, waters, even back to the time when ice age glaciers were retreating. As the weather warms, consider visiting these parks to exercise your legs and lungs and get a view of some of the best sights McHenry County has to offer.

Glacial Park is the crown jewel of the McHenry County Conservation District. The district’s most popular, the park features more than 8 miles of trails that take hikers over land created by glaciers more than 10,000 years ago. Sarah Michehl, education program assistant at the McHenry County Conservation District, suggested people take the 2-mile Deerpath Trail at this time of year. “It’s a nice, relatively short loop where you see a whole different variety of things,” she said. “In April and May, you see a huge variety of waterfowl, including Canada geese who like to sit on top of muskrat lodges.” Michehl said it is easy to keep track of what you are seeing on the trail because of an Illinois-based “Prairie State Hiking App: Featuring Glacial Park,” available on both IOS and Android and downloadable from iTunes App Store or Google Play. It reads codes on sign posts and puts a world of information at visitors’ fingertips.

Nippersink Creek Meanders 18 miles from Wonder Lake to Pistakee Lake. Boat launch at 6500 Keystone Road, Wonder Lake. Information: www.mccdistrict.org
And now for something completely different. It’s a recently completed 3.5-mile restoration of the Nippersink Creek, which gives visitors the chance to explore both on water and on land near the creek. “It’s a big deal,” said Kim Compton, education program coordinator at McHenry County Conservation District. The most recent work adds to 3.5 miles of restoration completed in 2001 on the creek and also targets 507 acres of prairies and wetlands from the center of McHenry County Conservation District’s Glacial Park almost to North Solon Road, continuing where other restoration efforts have left off to the edge of the park’s boundary. The new section gives paddlers the “opportunity to see beautiful, expansive views” of Glacial Park, Compton said. Seven riffles – slight elevation drops in the creek – were added to give those on the water some excitement. The district recently hosted a 4-mile hike of the creek, which meanders through Glacial Park, to allow hikers to view the restoration, which will affect the area’s wildlife, ecology and recreational activities. Compton said people should keep an eye out for Bobolink birds, endangered Forster’s terns, even a river otter. Waterproof brochures are available to keep people in the know once they get out on the creek, as well as the Glacial Park hiking app, which is expected to contain some Nippersink Creek trails soon.
More to explore: Along with the trails mentioned above are a slew of others calling your name. • Marengo features Coral Woods, a 297-acre maple forest with several trails through trees and meadow, and Marengo Ridge’s looped nature trails through oak, hickory and maple forest. • The Hollows in Cary overlooks the 22-acre Lake Atwood. • Woodstock’s Pleasant Valley spans 5 miles of trails within 1,777 acres of woodlands, savanna and prairie. • Hickory, white and red oaks border the trails in Harvard’s Rush Creek.

MOVIES
For nearly a decade I’ve been holding out hope that Noah Baumbach would match the brilliance of “The Squid and the Whale.” And for 10 years, I’ve been largely disappointed. But with “While We’re Young,” he finally delivers on that promise with a film that, like “Squid,” is funny, profound and semi-autobiographical. Using Ben Stiller as his surrogate, Baumbach honestly – and savagely – explores the pangs of middle age through the eyes of a talented but financially strapped filmmaker desperate to get his mojo back. Like Baumbach, Stiller’s Josh is a stickler for truth in art. But after early success, he’s been creatively stuck for eight years, working tirelessly on a documentary about power in America but getting nowhere. And as art often imitates life, his childless marriage to Cornelia (Naomi Watts) has
STARRING: Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver PLOT: A middle-aged couple’s career and marriage are overturned when a disarming young couple enters their lives. RATED: R for language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes become equally stagnant, although, neither realizes it. At least not until they make the acquaintance of a couple of New York hipsters 20 years their junior. In Jamie (Adam Driver), also a documentarian, and his waifish wife, Darby (Amanda Seyfried), they rediscover the people they used to be before life, age and disappointment wore them down. They also find renewed purpose, seeing themselves as their adoring new friends see them. But is all this mutual admiration real, or just a conduit to narcissistic needs? It’s fun and funny finding out, but it’s also brimming
with keen observations about the wildly divergent way Millennials and members of Generation X view the same things. What Baumbach layers beneath reaches deeper, delving into the here and now, and what each generation expects of themselves and from the world, particularly how it pertains to art. It’s great stuff, fortified by a cast that’s first-rate from top to bottom. We all know every character in the movie. And that’s perhaps Baumbach’s finest gift as a writer. He’s as perceptive as there is when it comes to the way people talk and act, achieving an acute level of realism, even in a comedy as wonderfully absurd as this one. If it’s true as they say that Baumbach wants “While We’re Young” to emulate the great social comedies by James L. Brooks, Woody Allen and Sydney Pollack, he’s achieved it, and done it in a way that proves great filmmaking – unlike people – never gets old.
