County assesses flood damage Disaster declaration could come in one month By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com

Floodwaters fill Harriet Lane near the intersection of South River Road in Holiday Hills on Monday.
Boston bomb suspect charged
As area communities continue to aid residents affected by flooding, officials are preparing for the next step: repairing and cleaning up. Six damage assessment teams were deployed by the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency on Monday to get a handle on how many homes were affected and how far the water came,
said Director David Christensen. The assessment would be used by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to request a presidential disaster declaration, he said. It could be a month before one is declared. About 135 homes, most of them north of Route 120 and east of Route 31, met the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s definition of flooded, Christensen said.

Many homes had water in their crawl spaces. Some had flooding on the first floor, he said. He heard of one house where a wall collapsed. Residents in some communities, including Holiday Hills and Fox Lake, evacuated their homes. Even more spent last week and the weekend sandbagging in an effort to protect their property. With rain in the forecast for Monday night and a possible thunderstorm Tuesday,
water levels may remain high for the next couple of days despite the Fox River cresting Monday, said Rita Lee, a hydraulic engineer with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. If rainfall remains as expected – around a half-inch to an inch for those two days, according to the National Weather Service – the river hopefully won’t go up, Lee said.

Study finds dads spend more time with kids while moms work
The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon appear to have been motivated by a radical brand of Islam but do not seem connected to any Muslim terrorist groups, U.S. officials said Monday after interrogating and charging Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with crimes that could bring the death penalty. Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in his hospital room, where he was in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway. His older brother, Tamerlan, 26, died Friday after a fierce gun battle with police. The Massachusetts college student was charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. He was accused of joining with his brother in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 200 a week ago. The brothers, ethnic Chechens from Russia who had been living in the U.S. for about a decade, practiced Islam. Two U.S. officials said preliminary evidence from the younger man’s interrogation suggests the brothers were motivated by religious extremism but were apparently not involved with Islamic terrorist organizations.

Andrew Rosulek cooks dinner as his son, Allagash, crawls around nearby. Andrew Rosulek is a stay-at-home dad and has founded a Grandfathers and Fathers Looking After Kids (GFLAK) group for those in McHenry County who are interested in doing activities with their kids while their wives are at work. By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com
S
tanding in the kitchen of his Lakewood home, Andrew Rosulek is making dinner. As savory smells fill the house, the windows fog over with steam on the unseasonably chilly day. Rosulek is chopping on-
ions, sauteing garlic and steaming spinach as his wife, Wendi, is watching their son, 1-year-old Allagash, who’s playing nearby. Andrew’s grandparents once owned the house where the young couple now are raising their first child. With his feet planted between the stove and the sink, Andrew recalls Grandma Rosulek,
whom he called a “domestic goddess.” “I think about her a lot when I’m doing many of the things she might have done,” he said. Andrew Rosulek joins the growing ranks of men who take on the lion’s share of responsibilities once conventionally held by women, while Wendi is the family’s bread-
winner. A study by Pew Research Center found that fathers now are more engaged in housework and child care, as mothers are spending more time on paid work. The center found the number of working moms has spiked dramatically.

The deal moves Marengo through Riley Township and closer to I-90 in the city’s ongoing quest to reach the interstate at Route 23. For more, see page B1.
Kidney stones affect about one in 11 Americans – an increase over the one in 20 in 1994. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggests much of the blame should be placed on the rise in obesity. Researchers also found an association between kidney stone risk and diabetes and gout. For more, see page D1.
