Tax extension may return after election Ill. lawmakers could take up issue in lame-duck session

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Don’t pop the champagne corks to the demise of the 67 percent “temporary” income tax increase just yet.

Yes, House Speaker Michael Madigan caved at making the income tax permanent because he could muster only about half of the 60 votes that he needed from his fellow Democrats. And yes, the end of the spring legislative session Friday increased that threshold to 71 votes until the end of the year, when the temporary tax is set to sunset.

But the tax increase debate could very well return after the Nov. 4 election, when leaders who support making the tax increase permanent will be able to marshal more votes.

Re-elected Democrats who were afraid of incurring voter wrath for breaking a promise may be more amenable to voting yes because they are “safe” for another two years and have received six months of pressure from groups that want the tax made permanent. Lawmakers defeated at the polls may be persuaded to vote yes because they either have nothing politically to lose, or by the promise of appointment to a high-paying government job after they leave office.

What’s more, the number of votes needed in the House to pass legislation that takes effect immediately drops back to the 60-vote simple majority on Jan. 1 – the very day the tax increase sunsets. This gives lawmakers a two-week window until the Jan. 14 seating of the new General Assembly to raise taxes.

If the above scenario sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly how state lawmakers after the 2010 election raised your income taxes by 67 percent. While Madigan has demurred on the topic, Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said that revisiting the tax vote after the election is a possibility.

For more on the Illinois Legislature and bills passed, see Page A3.

“While a vote on our tax rates has been deferred, rising costs and pressures will force the issue at a later date,” CulMike Tryon lerton said in a R-Crystal Lake statement Friday.

Whether that scenario repeats a f t e r t h e e l e ction, according to most of McHenry County’s lawmakers, depends on whether voters Dan Duffy re-elect incumR-Lake bent Democratic Barrington Gov. Pat Quinn or Republican challenger Bruce Rauner.

“I think if Pat Quinn is re-elected, he’ll definitely try to bring it David up in the JanuMcSweeney ary [lame-duck] R-Barrington session because Hills they’ll need only 60 votes,” said Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills. “The best way to fight this is to make sure Bruce Rauner is elected governor.”

It’s a belief shared by fellow Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake. But Sen. Dan Duffy, RLake Barrington, said he does not believe a Rauner victory would automatically sink any attempt at a lame-duck tax hike.

“I think they still might go for it. Even if Bruce Rauner wins, as the leader of the General Assembly, Madigan is going to have to come up with the money somewhere,” Duffy said.

The governor’s race is almost sure to become a referendum on

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

Life is now in session for Class of 2014 If you donned a square, polyester hat and ill-fitting gown over the past few weeks, take a bow. Take a breath.

Congratulate yourself. You’ve come a long way since crying over blocks in kindergarten and those unruly bangs in middle school.

Everyone has a different story after graduating high school. Top of your class. Somewhere in the middle. Maybe you grabbed that decorative certificate with sweaty hands like grim death after flailing through finals.

The important thing is that you made it. Anyone who says high school was easy doesn’t remember much about being a teenager. Classes come easier for some, but growing up is dreadful at times.

It doesn’t get much easier as an adult, but you have callouses, so you adjust.

No one listens to you in your 20s. You’re often treated like a kid even when you’re not. There’s a new set of pressures and problems in your 30s. In your 40s, you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks you should be doing, but stuff gets real. Still figuring out the rest.

Hopefully, you’ve learned things already. You probably know by now who your real friends are. By your late teens, you know who is full of it and when (I’m trying not to be, but I’m a member of the media, so ...).

School gave you much of the knowledge you’ll need in life. Now you’ll want some practical skills. Wisdom comes later. It’s harder to acquire than a diploma and doesn’t necessarily come with age.

It’s just more embarrassing to be a fool at 60 than it is at 22.

VIEWS Kevin Lyons Adults feel compelled to offer advice to graduates. Sorry, we can’t help it. We mean the best not realizing that you’re not listening anyway. It’s OK. We didn’t listen either.

We’re also terrified for you, but in the best possible way. When we reflect at that time in our own lives, we think we didn’t have the fear we should have had.

You probably don’t either.

That’s OK because going through life in fear is no way to live. Young people often fear success as much as they fear failure. Fear is not your friend.

Ten years from now, no one will care about your GPA or what activities you participated in. That can be terrifying or a relief depending on your circumstances. Either way, it’s the truth.

What’s really exciting about this time is that once the parties end, the rest of your life is yours. You get to make the big and small decisions – learn from the results or consequences. There will be triumphs and failures, but you’ll own them.

People will question your decisions, mostly your parents. They love you more than you can fathom, but they’re not always right, and they know this.

Neither are you.

Most of high school took place, at least within the building, in a controlled environment. The good news is that if school made you itchy, the real world

is better, and you’re in control of more than you realize.

Your character as an adult is built more by overcoming obstacles and failures than successes. People who don’t have failures didn’t try hard enough.

Coasting through life is boring and makes for vapid people you’ll later avoid in social situations.

What’s even better is that you get to define what success and failure is. How much does it have to do with income, job satisfaction, quality of life? It takes at least a few more years to figure it out, but the answers to those questions are based on what’s important to you and no one else.

The sooner we understand that the world won’t adapt to us, the sooner we can adapt to it. This is where we get much of our wisdom. We get more when we realize we’re part of something bigger, starting with a family, a community, a nation, a planet.

We develop goals that go beyond our personal satisfaction. We develop values and the people who surround us often rise above what we might desire personally.

Some of you already know these things. In that case, you’re ahead of the game no matter what your class rank says.

Congratulations, Class of 2014. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the world.

8TODAY’S TALKER

New drugs may make a dent in lung, ovarian cancer come back, he said, “I’d try something else that’s cheaper” first.

Other doctors were more positive.

“It’s exciting to see progress in this disease where the steps are small but cumulative,” said Dr. Gregory Masters of the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center in Newark, Delaware, and an ASCO spokesman.

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press CHICAGO – New drugs are making a dent against some hard-to-treat cancers, but some results raise fresh questions about whether the benefit is worth the cost.

For the first time in a decade, an experimental drug has extended the lives of patients with advanced lung cancer who relapsed after standard chemotherapy. But the drug used in the study gave patients just six extra weeks of life on average, and costs $6,000 per infusion as currently sold to treat a different form of cancer.

Eli Lilly and Co.’s drug, Cyramza, was discussed Saturday at a cancer conference in Chicago, where other studies showed: • The drug Imbruvica, sold by Pharmacyclics Inc. and Janssen Biotech, substantially improved survival and could set a new standard of care for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL, the most common leukemia in adults. Doctors say the pill more precisely targets cancer and is a good option for older people who can’t tolerate standard chemotherapy infusions.

• Two experimental pills from AstraZeneca PLC worked much better than one alone against ovarian cancer that resisted or came back after standard chemo. The drugs significantly prolonged the time women lived without their disease worsening.

LUNG CANCER Cyramza is sold now to treat stomach cancer and fights the formation of blood

OVARIAN CANCER

AP file photo

An infusion drug to treat cancer is administered to a cancer patient Sept. 5, 2013, via intravenous drip at Duke Cancer Center in Durham, N.C. According to a study that was discussed Saturday at a cancer conference in Chicago, Eli Lilly and Co.’s experimental drug Cyramza has extended the life of patients with advanced lung cancer who relapsed after standard chemotherapy. vessels that feed tumors.

French researchers led a study with 1,253 patients who relapsed after initial treatment of advanced lung cancer, a more common disease.

All were given the chemo drug docetaxel and half also received Cyramza infusions every three weeks. Median overall survival was 10.5 months for those on the combo and 9 months for the others; there were significantly more side effects with the combo.

“I don’t think a six-week increment is that impres-

sive” for survival, said Dr. Derek Raghavan, an independent expert and president of the Levine Cancer Institute at Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte, North Carolina. He also is on a task force on value in cancer care for the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the group hosting the conference.

The fact it prolonged survival at all suggests it is worth testing earlier in the course of the disease to see whether those patients fare better, he said. But for people whose lung cancer has

Ovarian cancer usually is treated with surgery and chemo but about 80 percent of patients relapse, said Dr. Joyce Liu of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

She led a federally funded study of 90 such women to test cediranib, a drug that blocks tumor blood vessel formation, plus olaparib, part of a new class of experimental drugs called PARP inhibitors, which keep cancer cells from repairing damage to their DNA. The ovarian cancer study was the first time these two drugs had been tested together. The combo delayed by more than eight months the time it took for the disease to get worse compared to olaparib alone.

It’s too soon to know whether the combo will prolong survival; participants are still being tracked.

Cediranib seemed headed for the scrap heap after failing studies on lung and colon cancer, but this is the second study to suggest it works against ovarian cancer. AstraZeneca said it may seek the drug’s approval for ovarian cancer later this year.

The price of either drug has not been set.

Illinois shelving $100M State prepares for gift to Obama library gay marriage rollout

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A plan to offer $100 million in tax dollars to lure Barack Obama’s presidential library to Illinois is on the shelf, as lawmakers wrapped up their spring session without advancing the idea.

Democrats in the president’s home state pushed the proposal to compete against rival bids from Hawaii and New York. But it faced opposition from Republicans wary of an expensive and precedent-setting gift – with no immediately identified funding source –for a mostly private endeavor when the state faces serious financial difficulties.

Not all Democrats were on board, either. Both the Democratic-controlled House and Senate adjourned without calling for any final votes on the measure.

“It wasn’t clear that a state monetary incentive was necessary for a successful [library] proposal,” said Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat.

Sponsors of the measure vowed to continue their advocacy, but the initiative now must wait despite a June 16 deadline for host proposals to Obama’s library commission.

The state’s influential House speaker, Michael Madigan, who doubles as state Democratic Party chairman, had hoped the library plan would be part of a multibillion-dollar replacement for a five-year statewide construction plan that is expiring. But that larger bricks-and-mortar program also got no traction as lawmakers patched together a 2015 state budget without extending a temporary income tax increase, as Demo-

crats had sought.

Obama was a community organizer in Chicago before he was elected to the Illinois and U.S. Senates. He grew up in Hawaii and went to college in New York, spurring those states to compete for hosting Obama’s legacy.

“In order to show him we’re serious about wanting him in Illinois, we have to do the right thing,” said Illinois state Rep. Monique Davis, a Chicago Democrat and Madigan’s co-sponsor. “We must put forth some good-faith effort.”

Even without approval of a capital plan, Davis wanted a vote before the House adjourned to send a supportive message ahead of the commission’s application deadline. She said she will continue pushing the idea this fall when lawmakers return to Springfield.

Republicans say they welcome the library and the tourists it would attract. But they pointed out that no library dedicated to a modern president received state or federal tax dollars – although Democrats point out public assistance is often offered, such as donated land.

“Bush and Clinton both raised over $200 million in private funds to take care of their library,” said Rep. Joe Sosnowksi, a Rockford Republican. Obama’s “ability to raise that amount and more is without question. For us to chip in half of what a presidential library would cost is an abuse of the taxpayers.”

Madigan cited as precedent the public funding of another presidential library – that of the Prairie State’s other favored son, Abraham Lincoln.

That $155 million Springfield showplace was financed with $115 million in state tax money and $32 million in federal dollars.

Recap: What passed in Legislature what didn’t BILLS SENT TO GOV. PAT QUINN: Budget: A roughly $35.7 billion budget for 2015 keeps funding flat for schools and most state agencies. Majority Democrats acknowledged the budget is “incomplete” because it postpones tough votes about whether to slash spending or find new revenue until after November’s election.

Ballot measures: Looking to drive voter turnout, majority Democrats approved multiple nonbinding referendums for the November ballot. Among them: Asking voters whether Illinois’ minimum wage should be increased, whether an extra tax on millionaires should be imposed and whether prescription drug coverage plans should be required to include birth control.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Obama presidential library: A proposal to set aside $100 million in construction money to help attract Barack Obama’s presidential library to Chicago passed a House committee but never came to the floor due to concerns over spending in a tough budget year.

Pensions: Municipalities across Illinois wanted relief for skyrocketing police and fire pension costs, but the issue never gained traction. A plan to address Cook County’s pensions failed to get a final House vote.

Gambling: Supporters failed to rekindle efforts to expand gambling – either by adding five new casinos or one mega-casino in Chicago – as a source of much-needed revenue.

The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BELLEVILLE – A few years into their relationship, Sabra Blumhorst and Chelsea Baker exchanged wedding vows, never mind the couple’s November nuptials weren’t legally recognized in Illinois.

Civil unions didn’t interest the Carbondale couple, who long had hoped to have a legal marriage.

“I felt very strongly that if we can’t be married-married, I’m not going through the steps of the interim process of separate but equal,” Blumhorst, who now uses the surname of her five-year partner, said Wednesday. “I wanted complete equality, and we decided to wait.”

The waiting ended Sunday, when Illinois’ 102 counties began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Gay couples and gay-rights advocates across the state marked the date with blessing ceremonies and group weddings, and several county clerks offices made an exception and offered office hours for license-seekers unwilling to wait until Monday morning.

The moment is being heralded by many as another milestone in their decades-long quest for equal rights – even if the statewide rollout is a bit anticlimactic. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the gay-marriage law in November – shortly after the Blumhorst-Baker wedding, of sorts – and set June 1 as its effective date.

But since a federal court ruling declared Illinois’ original ban unconstitutional in February, 16 counties have been issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

Equality Illinois, a gayrights advocacy group, estimates about 1,300 same-sex licenses have been issued statewide, more than 1,110 of

Most of the state’s remaining 86 counties opted to wait until the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act officially takes effect, in some cases worried that early issuances could trigger lawsuits and perhaps cause legal problems for the couples.

Under February’s ruling, thousands of same-sex couples already in civil unions instantly became eligible to convert those into legal marriages, with the option of making their wedding date retroactive to when their civil union took place. By law, couples granted licenses must wait a day before actually following through with the wedding.

Montgomery County’s Sandy Leitheiser is among the handful of county clerks who planned to give up their Sunday to process marriage-license applications.

“I’m here to uphold the law of Illinois,” Leitheiser said, “and if there’s a way to accommodate couples based on need and special circumstances, I’m available.”

Meanwhile, the clerk in Sangamon County – home to the capital city of Springfield

– began issuing the licenses Friday.

“A lot of people have worked very hard for this day, and me and Chelsea are just pleased as punch,” said Blumhorst, a 31-year-old Carbondale coffeehouse barista who along with Baker, 24, expects to get a marriage license within days. “Others in the queer community think we should fight for other rights first.

While I agree to that to an extent, I feel we should make strides where we can.”

In Belleville, Jerry Angevine has shared the past 25 years with fellow retiree Rick Carr, an Air Force veteran.

Long having shelved any idea of getting a civil union, the men – both in their 60s with children from previous marriages – chose to wait until marriage became a right.

They got their marriage license Wednesday, Angevine said, giddy about their plans Saturday for what he said will be their “low-key” wedding at their home.

“We did it our way,” he said. “Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re lower class. We have the right to be treated like everyone else. We are human beings.”

How does an air conditioner work?

Most people think an A/C system blows in cold air to cool down a home.

Let’s examine the A/C process.

A good analogy is to think of how an air cleaner works; taking air from within your home, removing particulates and recirculating that air, minus dust and particles.

In much the same way, your A/C system processes the air within your home. The cool air you feel through your registers is your home’s air, minus the heat and humidity.

The A/C unit consists of 3 main components 1. Compressor

The heart of the system.

2. Condenser

Outside unit that houses the compressor and dispenses the hot air from your home.

3. Evaporator

Coil that sits on top of the furnace and transfers the heat to the condenser. It also removes the humidity from your home.

The furnace blower pulls the heat via the return ducts across the coil. The heat is then transferred to the condenser and the humidity runs off as water.

The air is then blown back through the supply ducts, minus the heat and humidity and begins to cool the house.

SAVE

This process is continued until the thermostat is satisfied and your home reaches its desired temperature.

If you have any questions about your home’s heating and cooling systems, please contact me today!

Warnings on ‘gaming’ patient waits go back years

President Barack Obama makes a statement in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington Friday following his meeting with Veterans Affairs Secretary Shinseki. The president said that Shinseki is resigning amid widespread troubles with veterans’ health care. some ‘gaming’ of the scheduling process.”

$1,000 in documented annual production. In Alaska, the USDA cap on federal payment for high tunnels is $16,000. Support is highest for “historically underserved” growers off the road system where equipment must be barged or flown in – $7.72 a square foot.

They have to be at least 6 feet tall, a height that provides enough length to roll up the sides for air flow and ventilation and for a tall person to work in the controlled environment. High tunnels also allow farmers to soil from erosions or nutrients from leaching in heavy rain, White said.

“You’re going to make sure that those plants get exactly that they need, nutrient-wise,” White said.

The Gaisers and their five children eat most of what they grow and last year sold extra basil, cucumbers and eggplant. Under raised beds in the Gaisers’ 76-by-30-foot high tunnel, the family has planted rows of strawberries, eggplant, sweetcorn, cucumbers interspersed with spaghetti squash, tomatoes and garden greens.

Nearly 300 schoolgirls abducted in Nigeria. A pregnant Pakistani woman stoned to death by her family for marrying the man she loved. Widespread rape in many war zones. And in California, a murderous rampage by a disturbed young man who had depicted sorority members as a prime target.

From across the world, startling reports of violence against women surface week after week. The World Health Organization has declared the problem an epidemic, calculating that one in three women worldwide will experience sexual or physical violence – most

often from their husband or male partner.

Yet even as they decry the violence and the abundance of misogynistic rhetoric, women’s rights activists see reasons for hope.

“The violence has been happening forever – it’s not anything new,” said Serra Sippel, president of the Washington-based Center for Health and Gender Equity. “What’s new is that people in the United States and globally are coming around to say ‘enough is enough,’ and starting to hold governments and institutional leaders accountable.”

Even in India – where just this past week, two teenage cousins were raped and killed by attackers who hung their bodies from a

mango tree – there are signs of change. Public outrage over the 2012 gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student led the government to expedite legislation increasing prison terms for rapists.

In April, a court sentenced three men to death for raping a photojournalist in Mumbai.

In the United States, the military said it’s stepping up efforts to combat sexual assault in the ranks and President Barack Obama’s administration is campaigning against sexual violence at colleges and universities.

A month ago, for the first time, the Department of Education revealed its list of schools under investigation for how they have responded to the problem.

ronmental Quality Incentives Program, which promotes voluntary practices that will improve soil, water, plant, animal, air or energy conservation.

The high tunnel effort started as a three-year pilot in 2010.

The service wanted to support the local food movement, said Jeff White, who manages the program.

“The seasonal high tunnel was a way that we saw that we could benefit some of those small and limited resource producers, especially in northern climates, where they were growing small plots of fruit, vegetables, food on the ground,” he said.

Vegetable farmer Vern Stockwell uses a high tunnel to grow English cucumbers to sell at Anchorage farmers markets. Lan Hecimovich of Palmer plants artichokes and tomatoes, and says he likes to know where his food comes from.

High tunnels must be purchased from a commercial manufacturer and constructed on land already in cultivation that has produced at least

PALMER, Alaska – Stephanie and Jim Gaiser take their cues for living from the Bible and say that when God created man, he put him in a garden.

“That was his first line of work,” Stephanie Gaiser said.

“We believe man is really in his element when he’s in the garden. And since it’s Alaska, you need a little help.”

The Gaiser’s Eden is a 72foot seasonal high tunnel, a tall hoop house used to cover crops and extend the short growing season in a state with cold soil.

Metal ribs hold plastic arching over soil or raised beds, which are heated by sunlight. That’s in contrast to greenhouses, which are typically permanent, climate-controlled structures.

“We are vegetarians that care very much about our health,” she said. “... Being in Alaska, the stuff you get in the store is not that great, and it’s expensive.”

Most commercially grown vegetables and fruits are shipped to Alaska from at least 1,400 miles away. High tunnels extend growing seasons for weeks on either end and create tiny microclimates that allow warm-weather crops to grow.

Qualified growers can obtain financial assistance from a federal program to build them.

It’s proved popular: Alaska ranks No. 1 among states that take advantage of the program.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has spent about $4 million splitting the cost of high tunnels with Alaska growers.

Overall, there are 9,821 high tunnels in the U.S. – with Missouri, Michigan, Kentucky and Maine rounding out the top 5 states in subsidy funding – at a cost of $56.8 million. They fall under the USDA’s Envi-

problem that is taking place on the health care side is due to a lack of sufficient funding, and that’s Congress’s jurisdiction.

We think they’ve fallen short over the years,” Violante said.

Rep. Jeff Miller, the chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, said money is not the problem at the VA. He notes that the president has traveled the country touting the spending increases that have occurred in VA’s budget during his presidency.

Spending for VA medical care has nearly doubled in less than a decade, from $28.8 billion in 2006 to $56 billion last year.

“They can’t even spend the money that we appropriated to them. If money could have solved this problem, it would have been solved a long time ago,” Miller said. “It is manipulation and mismanagement that has created the crisis that exists today.”

troubles.

The series of reports over the years also raises questions about whether Congress should have done more to solve the problems that have so grabbed the nation’s attention in recent weeks.

“Anyone in Congress who thinks they’ve done enough for the VA is simply deluding themselves,” Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia said in response to Shinseki’s resignation. “Year after year, when members of Congress have had the opportunity to provide legitimate funding increases for the VA, they’ve done just enough to skirt by.”

Pointing to the Bush task force report from 2003, Joseph Violante, legislative director for Disabled American Veterans, said the problem of access to health care has been known for a decade.

“In our mind, a lot of the

WASHINGTON – The report this week confirming that 1,700 veterans were “at risk of being lost or forgotten” at a Phoenix hospital was hardly the first independent review that documented long wait times for some patients seeking health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs and inaccurate records that understated the depth of the problem.

Eleven years ago, a task force established by President George W. Bush determined that at least 236,000 veterans were waiting six months or more for a first appointment or an initial follow-up. The task force warned that more veterans were expected to enter the system and that the delays threatened the quality of care the VA provided.

Two years ago, a former

hospital administrator told senators during an oversight hearing that VA hospitals were “gaming the system” and manipulating records to make it appear that wait time standards, the criteria for awarding manager and executive bonuses, were being met.

Since 2005, the department’s inspector general has issued 19 reports on how long veterans have to wait before getting appointments and treatment at VA medical facilities, concluding that for many, sufficient controls don’t exist to ensure that those needing care get it.

For example, in October 2007, the VA inspector general told the Senate Committee on Aging that “schedulers at some facilities were interpreting the guidance from their managers to reduce waiting times as instruction to never put patients on the electronic waiting list.

Cherokee members set to retrace Trail of Tears The ASSOCIATED PRESS TAHELQUAH, Okla. – Nineteen Cherokee Indians are set to begin an annual 950mile bicycle ride from Georgia to Oklahoma to commemorate the forced removal of Cherokees from the southeastern United States to Indian Territory, now known as Oklaho-

ma.

Members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma who are making the “Remember the Removal” ride gathered Friday in Cherokee, North Carolina, before leaving for Georgia for the start of the journey Sunday.

The annual ride, which be-

gan 30 years ago, is a leadership program offering Cherokee students a glimpse of what their ancestors faced when they made the same trek on foot in the late 1830s.

An estimated 4,000 of the approximately 16,000 Cherokees died of exposure, starvation and disease during the removal, known as the Trail of

Tears, tribal officials said.

“The ‘Remember the Removal’ ride not only commemorates this important event in our people’s history, it is an opportunity for our youth to learn more about our history,” said Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern Band.

Riders will make stops at museums, gravesites, stock-

ades, churches and other historic sites along the way, accompanied by Cherokee Nation tribal council member and Trail of Tears historian Jack Baker. The riders will also document their journey using personal video diaries.

The ride follows the northern route of the Trail of Tears, which includes Illinois. It be-

gins Sunday in New Echota, Georgia, and is to end June 19 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation.

“These riders will live out an exceptional experience over the next three weeks that will bond them forever,” said Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma Principal Chief Bill John Baker.

U.S. soldier freed from captivity in Afghanistan

By JULIE PACE and LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Obama administration officials said Saturday.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special operations forces by the Taliban Saturday evening, local Bowe time, in an area Bergdahl of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border. Officials said the exchange was not violent and the 28-year-old Bergdahl was in good condition and able to walk.

“While Bowe was gone, he was never forgotten,” President Barack Obama said in a statement from the White House Rose Garden, where he was joined by Bergdahl’s parents. “The United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind.”

Bergdahl’s handover followed indirect negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban, with the government of Qatar serving as the go-between. Qatar is taking custody of the five Afghan detainees who were held at Guantanamo.

Several dozen U.S. special operations forces, backed by multiple helicopters and surveillance aircraft, flew into Afghanistan by helicopter and made the transfer with the approximately 18 Taliban members. Officials said the commandos were on the ground for a short time before lifting off with Bergdahl.

According to a senior defense official, once Bergdahl climbed onto the noisy helicopter, he took a pen and wrote on a paper plate, “SF?” – asking the troops if they were special operations forces.

They shouted back at him over the roar of the rotors: “Yes, we’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Then, according to the official, Bergdahl broke down.

Bergdahl, of Hailey, Idaho, is believed to have been held by the Haqqani network since June 30, 2009. Haqqani operates in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region and has been one of the deadliest threats to U.S. troops in the war.

The network, which the State Department designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2012, claims allegiance to the Afghan Taliban, yet operates with some degree of autonomy.

For GOP, which Reagan legacy is right for 2016?

By BILL BARROW The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – Another prominent Republican gathering, more evidence of the dueling legacies of President Ronald Reagan overhanging the party as it tries to widen its reach and avoid extending its presidential losing streak in 2016.

There’s Reagan the doctrinaire icon of modern conservatism who declared at his inauguration that “government isn’t the solution; government is the problem.” Then there’s Reagan the pragmatic president who negotiated with Democrats and other Republicans on taxes, spending and immigration, among other issues.

Both Reagans made an appearance at a national conservative summit in Louisiana, and the divide is at the core of the GOP’s identity search that pits tea party conservatives like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Utah Sen. Mike Lee – they led a budget fight that sparked a partial government shutdown last fall – against party estab-

Ted Cruz addresses the Republican Leadership Conference on Saturday. Midterm election campaigns are in full swing, but several thousand Republicans gathering in Louisiana look toward a bigger prize. lishment figures who say compromise is a necessary function of government.

Cruz told Republican Leadership Conference delegates Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference that Reagan was successful because he was unapologetically conservative.

“Y’all will remember what happened in 1980,” Cruz said.

“We saw ... millions of Americans across this country rise

up and become the Reagan revolution.”

Haley Barbour, the former Republican national chairman who worked in the Reagan White House, delivered a history lecture on the same stage as Cruz a day before.

“Reagan compromised on everything,” he said, adding that “purity is the enemy of victory” in politics and in governing.

Barbour cited overhauls of

Social Security, taxes and immigration that Reagan signed after deals with a Democratic Congress. He didn’t say it, but the Social Security deal raised payroll taxes on some workers.

The immigration law included provisions many Republicans now deride as “amnesty.” Other Reagan tax bills included various cuts and increases.

After leaving office, Reagan also urged Congress to adopt the Brady Bill, which eventu-

ally passed to require a waiting period for certain gun purchases and a ban on certain military-style rifles.

The law was named for a Reagan aide shot in a 1981 assassination attempt on the new president.

Cruz said Saturday: “In Texas, we define gun control real simple. That’s hittin’ what you aim at.”

The senator won the presidential straw poll at the three-

day conference, an annual gathering where some White House hopefuls make their pitch to some of the party’s most conservative activists.

Delegates said they’re intent on reclaiming the White House and recognize the necessity of reaching behind the party’s most conservative core, but there’s little consensus on how to do it.

Cruz told The Associated Press after his speech that Reagan “unequivocally” would have aligned with him last year when he pushed Republicans to block budget bills in an effort to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

He conceded that Reagan signed eight deficit-spending budgets he negotiated with liberals like House Speaker Tip O’Neill of Massachusetts.

But those deals, Cruz argued, still “slowed the rate of growth.”

“The difference was he was at least fighting for it,” Cruz said. “Too many Republicans start with surrender and then are surprised when they don’t get anything.”

8NATION BRIEFS Obama’s boldest move on with big-money interests that carbon comes with perils drive politics.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is announcing a new pollution rule Monday – and it’s expected to be perhaps the most significant U.S. environmental regulation in decades.

But it’s not one the White House wanted.

The regulation to limit the pollution blamed for global warming from power plants is a compromise for Obama.

The president again finds himself caught between his aspirations and what is politically and legally possible.

The regulation will provoke a messy and drawn-out fight with states and companies that produce electricity.

Obama is using a 30-year-old law that was not intended to regulate the gases blamed for global warming.

Obama was forced to rely on the Clean Air Act after he tried and failed to get Congress to pass a new law during his first term.

Cleveland police officers indicted in large chase CLEVELAND – A grand jury in Cleveland has indicted 6 police officers involved in a chase that ended with the death of two unarmed suspects after a barrage of 137 shots Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said Friday that patrol officer Michael Brelo was charged with two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of the victims after the November 2012 chase that crossed the city and involved more than 100 officers McGinty said Brelo fired at least 15 shots after the car was fully stopped and escape was not possible.

McGinty said his office did not recommend charges against the other 12 officers who fired shots.

McGinty also said five supervisors were charged with two misdemeanor counts each of dereliction of duty for failing to control the chase.

BOSTON – A friend of the brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon was accused Friday of obstructing the investigation into the deadly attack by deleting information from his computer and lying to investigators.

The friend, Khairullozhon Matanov, 23, of Quincy, was arrested at his apartment. He later appeared in federal court, but entered no plea and was being held until a detention hearing Wednesday.

Matanov is not charged with participating in the bombings or knowing about them in advance, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement, but a spokeswoman declined to comment when asked whether additional charges were possible against him.

Cochran keeps calm amid Miss. Senate race scandal Man charged with HATTIESBURG, Miss. – A long- impeding marathon probe time Republican senator from Mississippi is in the fight of his political life.

Tuesday’s primary between incumbent Thad Cochran and tea party favorite Chris McDaniel has it all.

Even Cochran’s wife – who’s in a nursing home – has been drawn into the melee. Criminal charges have been filed against some McDaniel supporters.

Cochran talks about how he’s won billions for Mississippi for military bases, agriculture and other services.

It’s exactly the sort of appeal from a Washington power-broker that McDaniel and other tea party-styled politicians are aiming to upend in the 2014 midterm elections.

Cochran is their last chance at ousting a GOP incumbent they see as too willing to compromise and too chummy

Lawmakers leaving with an unbalanced budget • TAX Continued from page A1 whether to break the promise and make the tax hike permanent, with Quinn strongly favoring the idea and Rauner opposing it.

While Democratic Rep. Jack Franks agreed with his fellow lawmakers that the tax rate extension will be a core issue in the election, he differed on the idea that a Rauner victory will mean the tax expires as scheduled Jan. 1. Franks, who like his GOP colleagues opposed the tax increase, pointed out that Rauner has yet to reveal his plans on how to straighten out the state’s dire finances.

“If Quinn wins, I think you’ll see [the tax increase] come up in January. If Rauner wins, it may still come up, based on whatever his plan may be,” said Franks, D-Marengo.

Illinois workers have paid on average an extra week’s salary in income taxes since Democratic lawmakers in the January 2011 lame-duck session, without a single Republican vote, raised the state income tax 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on corporations. The tax was raised from 3 to 5 percent for individuals, and from 4.8 to 7 percent for corporations. The total corporate tax rate is 9.5 percent when the personal property replacement tax is included.

The vote took place just hours before the swearing-in of the new General Assembly that was elected in November 2010. It passed with the bare minimum of votes needed in the House and Senate, with the help of 12 outgoing lawmakers who were either retiring or had lost their re-election bids.

Six of them, including two who campaigned against the tax hike, later ended up with government jobs.

Quinn ran on the need for a tax increase and promised during his 2010 campaign that he would veto any increase above 33 percent, but signed the 67 percent increase into law.

Democratic lawmakers who reassured the public that the tax increase would be temporary sold it as a stopgap measure needed to straighten out state government’s dire finances and pay down a shameful pile of unpaid bills.

But it didn’t work – beside the fact that state spending since then has increased, most of the $31 billion the new tax rate is predicted to generate has been swallowed by the state’s ballooning public pension obligations.

The bill Quinn signed into law contains language that sunsets much of the tax increase on Jan. 1, which is halfway through the next fiscal year, which for state government runs from July 1 to June 30. Rates are set to decrease to 3.75 percent for individuals and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for businesses.

Quinn in his 2015 budget address in March asked state lawmakers to make the tax

permanent, lest the state suffer draconian cuts that would hurt its neediest residents. The House in late May, on a series of very close votes, approved appropriations for next fiscal year that counted on keeping the tax increase permanent.

But Madigan on Memorial Day announced that extending the tax was a dead issue for the spring session. A caucus of his 70 fellow House Democrats several days earlier – the entire House is elected every two years – concluded that he had barely half of the votes needed. And that included the vote of State Rep. Derrick Smith, D-Chicago, who asked the judge at his ongoing trial for bribery and extortion if the proceedings could be postponed so he could vote. The judge denied the request.

Opponents of the original budget appropriations alleged that it was setting up for a vote to keep the tax hike permanent. But McSweeney and Tryon said the new budget, which among other things counts on $650 million in borrowing from other state funds, in essence does the same.

“We’re leaving here with an unbalanced budget, we’re raiding funds through fund sweeps, and they’re setting up the argument for future tax increases,” McSweeney said.

Senate President Cullerton, who like Madigan commands a Democratic supermajority vote, said that he has the 30 votes necessary to make the tax increase permanent. The Republican minority has made unsuccessful efforts to prevent a tax vote in the lame-duck session – three bills aimed at asking for a constitutional amendment and a fourth looking to change the Senate’s rules have not advanced.

Supporters of lame-duck voting sessions argue that they give lawmakers a vital tool needed to advance necessary legislation that otherwise would not be able to pass – the General Assembly during the same 2011 lame-duck session also voted to abolish the death penalty and allow civil unions for gay couples. Opponents argue that lame-duck sessions are a way for lawmakers to avoid answering for their decisions to voters.

“They’re going to pay off those [outgoing] legislators with jobs and political appointments and get the votes after the election is over. That’s what I’m worried about,” Duffy said.

The debate in a gubernatorial contest on whether a temporary tax should become permanent has historical precedent as well. The previous rates of 3 percent for individuals and 4.8 percent for businesses was itself supposed to be a temporary, two-year measure when state lawmakers increased it in 1989 from 2.5 and 4 percent, respectively.

But in the 1990 election, Republican governor’s candidate Jim Edgar ran, and won, on a platform that included making the new rates permanent. His Democratic opponent, Neil Hartigan, opposed the idea.

In junta-ruled Thailand, reading is now resistance

By TODD PITMAN The Associated Press BANGKOK – In junta-ruled Thailand, the simple act of reading in public has become an act of resistance.

On Saturday evening in Bangkok, a week and a half after the army seized power in a coup, about a dozen people gathered in the middle of a busy, elevated walkway connecting several of the capital’s most luxurious shopping malls.

As pedestrians trundled past, the protesters sat down, pulled out book titles such as George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” a dystopian novel about life in a totalitarian surveillance state – and began to read.

In a country where the army has vowed to crack down on anti-coup protesters demanding elections and a return to civilian rule, in a place where you can be detained for simply holding something that says “Peace Please” in the wrong part of town, the small protest was a major act of defiance – a quiet demonstration against the army’s May 22 seizure of power and the repression that has accompanied it.

“People are angry about this coup, but they can’t ex-

“So we were looking for an alternative way to resist, a way that is not confrontational,” she said. “And one of those ways is reading.”

Their defiance, if you can call it that, is found in the titles they chose. Among them: “Unarmed Insurrection,” “The Politics of Despotic Paternalism,” “The Power of Non-Violent Means.”

The coup, Thailand’s second in eight years, deposed an elected government that had insisted for months that the

nation’s fragile democracy was under attack from protesters, the courts and, finally, the army. The junta’s leader says the military had to intervene to restore order after half a year of debilitating protests that had crippled the government and triggered sporadic violence that killed 28 people and injured more than 800.

In their bid to maintain peace, the army also has made clear that it will tolerate no dissent. The junta has censored the media and issued warnings to citizens to avoid inciting conflict and antagonizing the divided country’s political rivals. The list of targets so far has been long.

8BRIEF Turkish police warn, push back protesters ISTANBUL – Police used tear gas and water cannon Saturday to push back crowds of protesters who defied a warning by Turkey’s prime minister and gathered in Istanbul and Ankara on the anniversary of last year’s nationwide anti-government demonstrations.

Riot police fired tear gas on hundreds of protesters on a main pedestrian street leading to Istanbul’s main square, Taksim, following a standoff with police. Clashes also erupted in the capital Ankara, where police used water cannons against a group of stone-throwing protesters.

Dogan news agency video footage showed police, some in plain clothes, detaining several people in the two cities.

Abdulbaki Boga, of the Human Rights Association, told The Associated Press at least 83 people were detained and 14 people were injured in Istanbul alone.

Large numbers of police blocked access to Taksim, and news reports earlier said authorities planned to deploy some 25,000 police officers and up to 50 anti-riot water cannon vehicles around the city to thwart the demonstrations.

Lead Metra on fresh new course Marc Munaretto will have his work cut out for him if the McHenry County Board on Tuesday approves his nomination to represent the county on the Metra Board.

A former County Board For the record member himself, Munaretto was After years of corruption and chosen by County mismanagement, the Metra Board Chairtransportation agency needs to woman Tina Hill be led in a new direction. to replace Jack Schaffer, whose Marc term expires June 30. Schaffer is not Munaretto seeking reappointNominated ment. last week Metra’s problems to sit on the are well-documentMetra Board ed. The suburban transportation agency is in desperate need of infrastructure upgrades but has no money to pay for them, in large part because of years of mismanagement and corruption.

Former Metra CEO Phil Pagano stepped in front of one of his own trains in 2010 just hours before the Metra Board was set to fire him for stealing $475,000 from the agency.

Pagano’s replacement, CEO Alex Clifford, seemed to have Metra back on the right track until he was summarily forced out for, he says, not caving to the patronage demands of politicians such as powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan. With eight months remaining on Clifford’s contract, the Metra Board in 2013 approved a $718,000 severance package that included terms that Clifford not discuss why he was leaving the agency. His allegations came to light only after angry state lawmakers demanded answers.

Needless to say, Metra’s recent history is not a good one.

That said, we recognize Metra’s importance to area residents. Thousands use Metra trains to commute to jobs in the nearer suburbs and the city. The service it provides is vital to the economies of McHenry and other collar counties.

But Metra needs a thorough cleansing.

Munaretto has a strong financial background. He was the longtime chairman of the County Board Finance and Audit Committee during a time when county government was able to obtain its top-notch credit rating. This Editorial Board often endorsed Munaretto’s candidacy.

But we also were critical of him and a few other County Board members who participated in an illegal committee meeting in 2011 where redistricting was discussed outside of public scrutiny.

Metra is in the public’s disfavor in part because of a similar lack of transparency.

We trust Munaretto has learned from his earlier mistake. He must make sure Metra’s business is conducted in an open and honest manner. He says he has ideas he wants to explore with Metra staff that could bring about the much-needed infrastructure improvements, as well as expand service to McHenry County.

We hope Munaretto is successful.

Like state government overall, Metra needs to be led in a new direction.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Obamacare working To the Editor: Only in the fictitious world of the tea party nation can allowing the common folk to purchase health insurance on the free market be a detriment to society.

In a desperate, last-ditch effort to discredit “Obamacare,” the Republicans convened a hearing May 7 with the insurance companies themselves, and got egg on their faces.

The six CEOs testified that, yes, they’ve signed up 8 million new customers and 90 percent have paid their premiums. No, it’s not a government takeover. Individuals and the private sector are in charge. Death panels are living-will consultations that are now free.

Yes, some folks lost their doctors because they didn’t delve into the details of the policy they chose.

Yes, premiums increased 5 percent over the past four years (quite a change from an average of 12 percent per year), and with the influx of new customers, insurance companies hired more staff.

So what about the Republican solution they never offered, claiming competition and trading across state lines is the answer? With the help of a navigator from Centegra Health System, I purchased a Blue Cross Blue Shield policy that keeps my same hospital and doctors in a multistate plan with coverage in all 50 states and gave high grades to Land of Lincoln insurance, which has grown a network that challenges BCBS in its coverage.

Competition, multistate, and new jobs? The naysayers not only

have egg on their faces, but a few flapjacks to boot.

America’s success To the Editor: Early American values Part 6: I am a devout Christian and believe America’s success was God’s plan. George Washington, often referred to as the Father of America, said “without the Bible, there could be no Democracy.” In America, we the people are the government and are responsible for its successes, its failures and its continuation.

In 1941, the Great Depression had not ended. Unemployment was still in the high teens. When the Japanese attacked, we Americans instantly took retaliatory action.

Young men joined the military service. Private automobile production was changed to military equipment and munitions. Women took the place of the men gone into service. Rosie the Riveter was born. Celebrities volunteered to entertain military personnel and to sell war bonds. Everyone joined in the war effort and accepted rationing of food and products necessary for it. This demonstrates our American values were still high.

In 1960, President John Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” In 2009, President Barack Obama said, “America is not a Christian nation.” In 2013, Obama and his wife congratulated Jason Collins for being the first major U.S. professional athlete to

The real hero for 2013 was Martin Richard, the 7-year-old boy who was killed in the Boston terrorist bombing. He had made a sign for a school assignment that read, “No more hurting people – Peace.” Neither Obama nor his wife mentioned Martin’s sign.

Obama must be impeached quickly.

A day to remember To the Editor: Last Monday, May 26, we celebrated Memorial Day. It is a day to remember those veterans who are no longer with us, whether they died on the battlefield or not, and to honor those veterans who are still with us.

As with many holidays, it has become just another day off of work.

It should not be a day to partake in a special sale for home goods or other items. It should be a day to reflect on the sacrifices these brave men and women did on our behalf. For that reason, I feel that most retail establishments and shopping malls should be closed.

The day should be spent with family and friends in celebration of the freedom we enjoy that they fought for.

I wish to point out I am not a veteran, nor are any of my close family or friends.

OK to be average To the Editor: Finally someone (Michael Penkava, a former teacher) gets it and hits the nail on the head. So glad to wake up this morning and read his thoughts in the Northwest Herald that it’s “OK to be average” (May 23).

This should be read at every commencement speech at each high school, maybe even the colleges.

Great job.

Parents and kids are missing the boat on what truly is important in life.

Again, the difference in doing our best and being the best ... and we wonder why cheating occurs at the highest levels. To get the edge?

Really?

Tea party lives in Europe, where conservatives won recent elections BELFAST, Northern Ireland – While tea party candidates underperformed against establishment Republican incumbents in recent U.S. primary elections, in Europe their conservative cousins have just scored some spectacular victories.

Commentators are calling elections for seats in the European Parliament and local council seats in Britain a “political earthquake” and “revolution” as strongly conservative candidates made significant gains. In Britain, the UK Independent Party (UKIP) outperformed the established Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties. Labour hired one of President Barack Obama’s top political strategists, David Axelrod, as a consultant. It didn’t help.

The significance of the election was summarized by the BBC, which noted that it was “the first time a party other than the Conservatives or Labour has won a national election for 100 years.” UKIP won with

27.5 percent of the vote, electing 24 of its members to the European Parliament.

The UKIP Platform resembles that of Tea Party Republicans in the U.S. According to the BBC, the party wants to end “mass uncontrolled immigration” and limit future immigrants to those who can “clearly be shown to benefit the British people as a whole and our economy.” On taxes, education, health care, energy and even social issues, the policies of UKIP and conservative Republicans are nearly interchangeable.

The far right in France, under the leadership of Marine Le Pen, buried the governing Socialists of President Francois Hollande, whose party won just 14 percent of the vote. Le Pen’s National Front Party attracted a quarter of the vote.

The center-right party of German Chancellor Angela Merkel prevailed in EU elections. Only The Netherlands and Greece bucked the trend with their more liberal par-

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

VIEWS Cal Thomas ties prevailing.

An indication of how seriously British Prime Minister David Cameron is taking the election results came quickly. Cameron disparaged UKIP leader Nigel Farage, saying he’s “not a bloke down the pub,” but a “consummate politician,” as if Cameron inhabits a purer universe.

The biggest issue beyond immigration is whether Britain should remain in the European Union. If Farage’s party prevails on immigration, Britain would have to pull out of the EU, which has an open-door policy on immigrants. The British are rightfully worried that the character of their nation is being diluted by an immigrant invasion that has seen a good number end up on public assistance. Part of UKIP’s appeal is its pledge not to allow im-

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

migrants to apply for public housing or other benefits until they have paid taxes for five years.

UKIP also favors a flat tax and vouchers to allow parents to send their children to the schools of their choice, and believes political correctness and multiculturalism have “split” British society, again mirroring conservative Republicans in the U.S. While voter turnout across Europe was a respectable 43 percent, only 36 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in Britain. Local, or “off-year” elections, don’t always forecast general election results, but sometimes they do.

Much of the British and American public – and increasingly in the EU – are beyond frustrated that politicians are not fulfilling their promises and seem more interested in perpetuating their political careers instead of doing what promotes the better interests of their nations. One sees that frustration in UKIP’s policy positions (http://

www.ukip.org/issues).

Nigel Farage’s challenge is to sustain the momentum he has clearly established into next year’s races. His influence is clearly being felt as Cameron’s post-election remarks sound increasingly more conservative. Cameron used the word “conservative” four times in a single sentence while being interviewed on BBC Radio. He pledged not to make any “deals and pacts” with other parties. That is hardly credible since Cameron currently functions in a coalition government with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, whose Liberal Democrats suffered an election wipeout.

Voters will judge Cameron’s veracity in next year’s general election. If he doesn’t measure up to his promises, UKIP could be Britain’s party of the future, as might other conservative parties in France and throughout most of Europe.

The Crystal Lake South High School salutatorian’s conclusion?

The Class of 2014 is fortunate.

For teachers that have pushed them and parents that have supported them, more than 400 graduates should feel fortunate to be parked on Ken Bruhn Field in funny-looking hats, he said. Fues urged his classmates to reflect during a time that offers a rare chance at clarity.

HUNTLEY

Seniors reflect on their many paths forward

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN

Graduates urged to pay back diplomas CARY – Students from the 2014 Cary-Grove High School senior class walked calmly under the sun and collected their diplomas, as their top classmate urged them to one day pay back the reward.

The 416 students from the senior class, known in Principal Jay Sargeant’s eyes as “calm, cool” and “unflappable,” collectively closed a four-year chapter in their lives at midfield of the CaryGrove Trojans’ football stadium Saturday.

Cary-Grove graduates throw up their caps in the air Saturday during the Cary-Grove High School commencement ceremony in Cary.

sshinneman@shawmedia.com HOFFMAN ESTATES – Before looking back, Kyle Sommerfield looked forward.

The salutatorian of Huntley High School’s 2014 graduating class tried to envision the myriad paths ahead of the students in front of him. Some were bound for colleges far off. Others would stay closer. Still others would seek jobs or join the armed forces.

“When I stop to think about all the different paths the Class of 2014 will take, it almost seems surreal,” Sommerfield said.

Before they start their journey to adulthood, about 600 graduating Huntley High School seniors collected their diplomas at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates on Saturday afternoon.

Girls wore red graduation gowns; guys sported black. Pockets of friends and family – told to hold their applause to the end of the long list of names – screamed nonetheless.

Sommerfield, who will head off

to Notre Dame next year, eventually turned his attention to his class’ time at the school they are leaving.

“A funny thing happened over the past four years: We’ve grown up,” he said.

Valedictorian Jessica Chalas said that the choice going forward is on the students, to use what they’ve gotten from these four years.

“Now it’s time to take what you’ve learned, the good and the bad, and apply it to the future,” she said.

She urged her classmates to live life like they wish they would’ve lived in high school, and to think about a time, 10 years down the road, when they will ask themselves whether they’ve done their best.

“If the answer is yes, you’ve done your job,” Chalas said.

Principal Scott Rowe added inspiration during his remarks. He asked the class to be active rather than passive and to listen to their inner voice.

“You all have a code of conduct built inside of you,” he said. “Please, listen to it.”

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Faster on Rakow Road, slower on Route 173 We start this week’s column with a change that, for once, means getting somewhere faster.

• FLOOR IT: The new posted speed limit on Rakow Road is 50 mph, after the McHenry County Board voted to increase it from 45 mph.

Now back to all of the summer driving inconveniences: • ROUTE 173: Route 173 between Greenwood and Keystone roads west of Richmond will be closed this week to replace the railroad crossing.

Work will begin at 9 a.m.

Monday and is expected to be finished at noon Saturday.

A posted detour will divert drivers to Tryon Grove Road.

Local traffic will have access from both Greenwood and Keystone roads up to the closure.

• ROUTE 14 IN CARY: Watch for possible delays as work begins on a $1.5 million project to improve Jandus Cutoff from Route 14 to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The

project is expected to be finished by September.

Mrs. Detour got stuck in one of those delays Thursday evening, which had westbound Route 14 backed up past the Fox River bridge.

You’ve been warned.

• ROUTES 31 AND 120: Work has started on a $7.2 million project to widen and resurface Route 120 from Front Street to Green Street and Route 31 from Route 120 north to McCullom Lake Road. It includes improvement of the intersection and replacement of the bridge over the creek that feeds into the Fox River.

The new lane configuration remains in effect this weekend, as do the lane closures on Route 120.

The project is expected to be finished by November.

• JOHNSBURG ROUNDABOUT: Work is beginning on a roundabout intersection at Johnsburg and Chapel Hill roads. The $2.7 million project scheduled to be finished in September includes decorative lighting, landscaping and brick-paved crosswalks.

Eastbound Johnsburg Road is closed between Spring Grove Road and Fairview Avenue, and westbound Johnsburg Road will be closed from Fairview Avenue to Chapel Hill Road. The road will be open to local traffic to maintain access to local businesses.

A lengthy posted detour will take drivers around via Routes 31 and 120 and Chapel Hill Road. And, yes, that detour takes you through the aforementioned mess at Routes 31 and 120 in McHenry.

MARENGO: BUTTRUM TURNED HIMSELF IN

Marengo man accused of buying rum that fueled crash

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Derrick J. Buttrum bought a bottle of rum for two underage siblings who crashed their car, killing one of them, after leaving his bonfire, authorities said.

Buttrum, 25, who is listed in police records as living in the 1900 block of Oxbow Lane in Marengo, hosted a bonfire for a handful of people at his home in the 44W200 block of Route 20 outside Hampshire, authorities said.

Tyrus Taylor, 19, of the 1100 block of Market Street

in DeKalb, paid Buttrum for the liquor, and both he and his sister, 20-year-old Tiffany Taylor, drank it and left early April 12, authorities Derrick J. said.

Buttrum Tyrus Tay25 lor was driving west on Plank Road toward Moose Range Road near Sycamore about 3:40 a.m. April 12 when his 1994 Honda Accord rolled and crashed into a utility pole, authorities said.

Tiffany Taylor was

thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene, authorities said.

Tyrus Taylor was charged with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol.

If convicted of aggravated driving under the influence, he could face between three and 14 years in prison.

He posted $4,600 bail May 23 and is due in court Tuesday.

Buttrum turned himself in on two felony charges of delivery of alcohol to a minor May 22. He posted $3,000 bail and is next due in Kane County court Wednesday.

31 east to the roundabout, was finished earlier this year.

• ROUTES 31 AND 176: Work is ongoing on a $10.2 million project to improve the intersection of both routes in Crystal Lake. It is down to one lane in all directions.

The state has said the project will wrap up by the end of spring, but we’re not too sure that deadline will be met. We’ll let you know about that.

• ROUTE 31: Work is set to start to widen Route 31 to four lanes from Rakow Road in Crystal Lake south to Trinity Drive in Lake in the Hills. The project is one of the latest in the ongoing $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! capital program.

The $5.2 million project is expected to be finished by next spring.

• ALGONQUIN WESTERN BYPASS: Budget more time if your travels take you through downtown Algonquin on either Route 31 or Algonquin Road/Route 62.

Watch for workers and expect some delays at the

bypass’s intersections with Route 31 north and south of downtown, and on Algonquin Road west of downtown as workers build the overpass and its diamond interchange.

Key components of the long-desired $33.3 million project are the building of a 2.1-mile, four-lane highway around downtown to eliminate the infamous rush-hour bottleneck at the intersection of Routes 31 and 62. This is the second year of the twoyear project, and work is expected to be finished this fall.

• MARENGO: Prospect Street will be down to one lane through fall as part of a $2.9 million project to widen the road and to add sidewalks and a traffic light at Route 20.

The street is open only to northbound traffic, and southbound traffic is being detoured.

• INTERSTATE 90: Budget extra time if your commute involves I-90, regardless of which direction you’re traveling.

Work continues this year

to improve a 37-mile segment of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway between Elgin and Interstate 39 in Rockford. Eastbound lanes were improved last year, so traffic is being shifted to them so workers can improve the westbound lanes. That work should be finished by the end of the year.

But work also has started this year to improve a 25-mile segment of I-90 from Elgin east to the Tri-State Tollway.

That work is expected to be finished by the end of 2015.

The total cost of the project, meant to widen and improve I-90 between Rockford and O’Hare International Airport, is $2.5 billion.

• ROUTE 176: Work is starting on an upgrade to the intersection of Route 176 and Smith Road in unincorporated Nunda Township. The $1.5 million project is expected to be finished by November.

Like his 387 classmates, Benjamin Kenny soon would say goodbye to Prairie Ridge and hello to life after high school. For Benjamin Kenny, that will include the Army ROTC program and civil engineering studies at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. A bit further to the north on the stadium grounds, the steep grass hillside was dotted with men and women, boys and girls, umbrellas, blankets and lawn chairs.

Larry and Jan Pollastrini found a spot near the top of the hill to watch the graduation of their 18-year-old daughter, Rachel, the third of five daughters and a son, all ranging in age from 9 to 22. Four of Rachel’s siblings and two of her grandmothers also were there to watch.

“It’s exciting to see them move to the next level,” Larry Pollastrini said. “High school is tough. It’s a tough age. But how they develop from when they start until they graduate – I feel pretty good that she’s ready to go to college.”

“Know thyself,” Koch said to the class. “The better you know thyself, the better your chances of finding success, however you envision it.”

Class valedictorian Fatima Khan, who achieved a grade point average of just more than 4.8, and salutatorian Anita Venkataswamy, whose grade point average was less than 4.8, also addressed the crowd; as did Neil Pretkelis, this year’s Booster Club Scholarship win-

ner, a Madrigal, speech team member and a regular on the school stage. Pretkelis talked about “Toy Story 3,” mentioning that, like the Andy of the film, many of the graduating seniors, too, soon would be off to college. For all, he said, it’s a time of leaving toys and childhood behind.

“Just like in ‘Toy Story 3,’ we’ve grown so much, but there is still so much growing to do,” Pretkelis said. “I challenge you to remember the past, but tackle the future. And

if you do, we’ll all make it to infinity and beyond.”

Recent University of Wisconsin – Madison graduate Jake Pollastrini said his sister and her classmates have a solid foundation on which to build.

“Accomplishing my goal of achieving a degree in mechanical engineering was set up by a great experience here at Prairie Ridge,” he said. “It’s exciting to me to think about where my sister, Rachel, and the rest of the graduates will be in four years.”

LAKEMOOR – Two sections of unincorporated Lakemoor have been annexed into the village, about half involuntarily.

The Lakemoor Village Board approved the annexations, which affect 27 property owners along Alameda Drive, Darrell Road, Hillside Drive, Sunset Drive and Wegner Drive.

The areas are completely surrounded by the village of Lakemoor and consist of less than 60 acres, two criteria that allow the village to forcibly annex them.

About half of the property owners had signed on to the annexations after the village spent a year holding neighborhood meetings and sending letters to affected properties, said Matt Dabrowski, the village’s community and economic development director.

Despite agreeing to the annexations, some of the property owners appeared at last week’s meeting to voice concerns about whether the annexation will affect their property taxes.

Going forward, these

property owners will have to contribute property taxes to the village of Lakemoor in addition to the other taxing districts they fall in, including the county, township and school districts.

Collecting those property taxes are one of the reasons the village has pursued the annexations.

The village is already providing police services because when the county doesn’t have a beat car in the area, Lakemoor’s police department can respond quicker, Village Administrator David Alarcon said.

Running a police department is “very expensive,” he said, adding the Village Board also approved a $20 administrative fee at the same meeting for when people bond out of the Lakemoor jail. The village also will start maintaining the roads and do the snowplowing for the annexed areas.

The annexations will become official after they are recorded, Dabrowski said.

Protesting property owners may choose to litigate the matter, although no one attended the Village Board meeting to voice their opposition.

Graduating class one of most successful in school’s history • CARY-GROVE Continued from page B1 he was to attend Cary-Grove, valedictorian Kyle Haacker reminded the graduating seniors not to forget the investment the Cary community made during the past four years.

He urged them to give back the investment, whether they go on to become a soldier, coach, engineer or teacher.

“I guarantee you will live a much happier and more wholesome life as a giver than you probably will as a taker,” said Haacker, who graduated with a 4.783 GPA and plans on attending UCLA in the fall to study computer science and engineering.

The graduation ceremony, marked by applause, music, speeches and sweat, was the final celebration for a senior class that school officials described as one of the most successful in Cary-Grove’s history.

Among the accolades, the class graduated 79 students with a 4.0 GPA or higher, 70 Illinois state scholars and three national merit finalists.

The senior class also had its share of memorable moments.

They helped turn the traditionally unofficial senior Powder Puff game into a school-sponsored event and handled a major prom interruption – brought on by two broken buses – with ease, Sargeant said.

It’s moments like those that salutatorian Kevin Wilde said his classmates shouldn’t forget as they embark on the next phase of their lives.

The lessons learned at Cary-Grove are meant to help guide them long after graduation, said Wilde, who will attend Northwestern University this fall to study computer science.

“It’s time for us to leave Cary-Grove, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a little bit with us,” he said.

“You may be justifiably proud of what you accomplished these last four years,” School Board Member Gary Oberg told the graduates.

Julia Thome has as much as any of them to be proud of. The class’ valedictorian, Thome is headed to Cornell University next year. She used her speech to think back to the class’ earliest days of organized learning, when 1-2-3’s were the objective.

She urged her peers to think of what counts.

“Just as learning to count numbers is essential in math, learning to count your blessings is essential in life,” Thome said.

LAKEMOOR: COST STAYS THE SAME

ALGONQUIN: PUBLIC HEARING SLATED FOR LATE JUNE

Lakemoor to require all businesses to get licenses

Algonquin releases preliminary TIF outline

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – After ongoing problems with a local repossession business forced the village to turn to a state agency to shut it down, Lakemoor is requiring all businesses to get licenses.

The Lakemoor Village Board recently approved an ordinance that expands the village’s business licensing requirements to include all types of businesses instead of the limited types required under its previous ordinance. The board had tried a business registry as a middle step between doing nothing and licensing, but the village didn’t have any recourse to go after those that didn’t register, Village Administrator David Alarcon said. The

village also couldn’t use the registration as leverage to get businesses to follow its ordinances.

After an experience with a business that forced the village to turn to a state agency for help, the village decided it needed another avenue to enforce its ordinances.

The business – Active Recovery Agency, which was at 216 W. Rand Road – specialized in repossession and was bringing cars on to the property overnight, Alarcon said. The property wasn’t zoned for that, and neighbors complained. The only thing the village could do was turn to the state repossession industry regulator, the Illinois Commerce Commission, or take the company to court for an ordinance violation. The Illinois Commerce Commis-

sion ultimately revoked the company’s state license that allowed it to operate as a repossession agency. “[Village business licenses] give us a tool, especially if we have any issue that is a life safety issue or poses a danger to the community,” Alarcon said. “We can take action immediately. It also gives the business owner an appeal process.”

The cost to obtain a business license is the same as it was previously under the old limited licensing rules.

The village also hopes to use the licensing process to build a database of businesses, recording who the emergency contact is and which businesses have hazardous substances located on site for emergency responders to use, Alarcon said.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A proposed Tax Increment Financing District would include parts of Algonquin Road and all of the western bypass, according to maps provided by the village.

Assistant Village Manager Mike Kumbera said the proposed TIF district’s boundaries are preliminary. The 335 acres of land includes properties along Algonquin Road to the west of downtown, which is an effort to include an industrial park.

“This area has several infrastructure constraints and is a critical daytime population/ activity generator, which supports the Old Town commercial district,” Kumbera wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.

The redevelopment area would be bounded on the south

by Jayne Street and Willow Street, on the east by the Fox River and South River Road, and on the north by Arrow-

head Drive and Cary-Algonquin Road.

“The proposed TIF boundaries are generally consistent with the boundaries examined in the Downtown Planning Study,” Kumbera wrote. “This area is the Village’s Old Town District, which includes both commercial and residential properties.”

Before the boundaries are finalized, the village has to conduct a feasibility study, which is set to be completed by Kane, McKenna and Associates, to determine if the area would qualify to be a TIF district under state law. A housing impact study also is planned.

A public hearing, tentatively scheduled for late June, on the TIF district also has to take place before the TIF is formed.

TIF districts are used by communities to encourage economic redevelopment in an area. As part of the downtown study, planners recommended the village start designing directional and gateway signs for the downtown and evaluate

the possibility of having a recreational paddling and white water park, and look into starting a TIF district.

In TIF districts, municipalities can pay for public improvements and other services needed to prepare the redevelopment area for private investment. Any increase in local real estate can be used to pay for the public costs or other eligible TIF costs, such as incentives.

In a TIF district, the equalized assessed valuation of all taxable real estate within the area is “frozen” as the base EAV. Taxes are levied at the base EAV in the redevelopment area for taxing districts such as the county and school districts, according to village documents.

However, the growth in property tax revenues as a result of the private investment is put into a TIF fund and used to pay for the public investment made in the redevelopment area, village documents say.

ga known throughout her life for her beautiful singing voice, razor-sharp wit, and joyous sense of humor.

When Linde was in the room, laughter was always present. Her compassion for those in her life extended not only to her human family, but also her feline one.

Linde's love of all animals was legendary, but the love she had for her cats was special. They were her children. Maya, Mela, Max, Marley, and Stoli will miss her terribly but her much-adored Baloo is with her now. Every life Linde touched whether human or animal was better because of her.

Those left to honor her memory include her mother, Beverly; her brother, Tom (Margaret); her sisters, Lisa (David), Leslie (Leonard) and Lauren; her nieces and nephews, Laure-Elodie (Christophe and baby Jonathan), Aude (Sebastien), Andrew (Jeanne), Camille, Jeremy, Brian, Carina, William, Grace and Nick; as well as her aunts and uncles, cousins, and many dear friends.

Linde has gone to join her beloved father, who nicknamed her beautiful child. Her family and friends will cherish every wonderful memory of time spent with Linde and her legacy will live on through them. As the angel Clarence, from the classic holiday movie would say, "She really had a wonderful life."

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate your donations to the Cary Grove Fine Arts Foundation (CGFAF) or a local animal shelter.

Richard Alan Janes, aka: Rick, Reverend, Boyfriend, Padre, Grandpa, age 58, passed away unexpectedly and peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at the place he loved the most, “his mountain” in New Mexico.

Rick was born February 14, 1956 to Richard and Violette (Valentino) Janes at the Great Lakes Navel Base Waukegan, IL. He graduated from Prospect High School in Mount Prospect, Illinois and went on to attend and graduate from Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL. Rick was a businessman that made businesses thrive. His love for his work and his employees was obvious and the feeling was mutual.

Rick was part owner of Harmony Metal in Gilberts, Illinois along with his longtime friend and business partner Bob Farnham. Rick also was the co-owner, of RR Steakhouse in Marengo, Illinois along with the love of his life, his wife, soul mate and best friend, Rona.

This was a life that ended too soon. Rick was a man that put more living into 58 years than most people who live twice that long.

Rick embraced life and when you were around him you were caught up in his spirit and contagious love of life. He had a magnetic personality that brought all kinds of people into his life.

Rick was an avid hunter, and his safari trips to Africa were brought to life as he talked of these trips when he returned home. It was not just hunting that Rick loved; he loved his home, his mountain in New Mexico, riding his Harleys, sports, playing horseshoes, shooting pool, cooking, gambling, barbequeing, living it up, laughing at his own jokes, and “church” on

, and Sundays. Most of all, Rick loved his family and friends. He was a loving husband, a loving father and a devoted grandfather. Grandpa was a role Rick truly cherished. The smile on his face lit up a room when he'd show you the latest picture. It was a role that fit him to a tee.

Rick will be missed by the many people he touched, and by a world that needs more people like him, people who are able to embrace life to the fullest. Even though his was a life that was many years too short, it was a life well lived, and for that we give thanks. He was the strength, love and guide to his family and friends. No man is indispensable but he is irreplaceable.

Survived By his wife, Rona Janes; son, Scott (Beckie) Janes; daughter, Sarah (Dennis Bauman) Janes; step daughter, Kara (William) Griffin; stepson, Bradley Kenyon; grandsons, Caleb, Logan, Connor; and granddaughter, Nora, due in August; and another grandchild due in December; sisters, Claudia Ciccarello and Sally Neiweem; and brother in law, Mike DeLucca; aunt Elaine (Frank) Weber; and uncle Earl (Pat) Valentino; also many cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents; parents; sisters, Cathy and Mary Beth Janes, Cindy DeLucca; and brother in law, Mark Neiweem; and many aunts and uncles.

Visitation will be on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm with a service at 3:00 pm, all at DeFiore Jorgensen Funeral Home, 10763 Dundee Road, Huntley.

CLASS 4A MCHENRY REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Warriors walk off with 3rd straight regional title O’Donnell drives in game-winning run

By KEVIN MEYER

Scoreboard

kmeyer@shawmedia.com McHENRY – When McHenry’s senior Megan O’Donnell stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning with a teammate at first and no outs in a tie game, she had no intention of swinging the bat.

A wild pitch and a failed bunt attempt later, O’Donnell looked at coach John DiFrancesca and made the decision it was time to swing.

O’Donnell swung, and the result was an RBI triple off the base of the wall in center field that gave the Warriors a 2-1 victory over Grant in the Class 4A McHenry Regional final, giving McHenry its third straight regional championship.

“Just watching that ball go over

O’Donnell’s seventh-inning heroics for McHenry (24-9-1) started when

Amanda Manssen earned a walk after a long at-bat. Haley Kornfeind came in to pinch run for Manssen and advanced to second on a wild pitch by Grant starter Caitlyn Moran. Then came O’Donnell’s game-winning hit.

“It was awesome,” DiFrancesca said.

“Megan and I have been talking the last couple of days about tweaking something with her hitting, and I’ll tell you what, it’s really paid off, she was great.”

McHenry trailed 1-0 until the fourth inning. With one out, Alex Martens singled and advanced to second on an error. Manssen came up with the RBI single that drove in Martens with two outs and tied the score. Martens was 2 for 3 with a run scored and a double.

CLASS 3A BOYS TRACK & FIELD STATE MEET

Woodstock wins first regional in 22 years

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com

Clark Brooks for the Northwest Herald

McHenry’s Jesse Reiser runs at the front of the pack during the Class 3A 3,200-meters final in the Class 3A boys track and field state meet Saturday at O’Brien Stadium on the Eastern Illinois University campus in Charleston. Reiser won with a time of 9:03.6.

Reiser a state champ McHenry junior wins 3,200 meters

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Jesse Reiser played coy for seven laps in the Class 3A 3,200 meters, at which point the playing around was over.

The McHenry junior took off after O’Fallon’s Patrick Perrier in the final lap, passed Perrier with 250 meters remaining and sprinted to the finish, where he raised his arms in triumph.

Reiser, normally reserved in his victories, had earned a moment to celebrate. He became the Warriors’

first boys champion at the boys track and field state meet Saturday at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium.

“It was a huge relief, a lot of weight off my shoulders,” said Reiser, who finished in 9:03.6, about four seconds ahead of Perrier. “I’ve always dreamt of this moment. I just never knew if I was going to become a state champion or not. It hasn’t really set in yet.”

Reiser was unable to pull off the distance double, returning about three hours later to take seventh in the 1,600, but he was thrilled to be

McHenry’s first boys state champion.

Stacy Pierce won the girls Class AA high jump state championship in 1994. George Koch (100-yard dash, 1964), Noel Figueroa (Class AA 200, 2005 and 2006) and Corey Szamlewski (3A pole vault, 2010) all had state runner-up finishes for the Warriors.

“It’s very humbling and I’m very honored to represent my school out here the best way possible,” Reiser said.

Reiser was congratulated after winning the 3,200 by former Lebanon star Craig Virgin, one of the most famous runners in state history with three state titles in 1972 and 1973.

McHenry coach Dennis Hutchinson said his race video of Reiser’s

victory suffered a little.

“I was filming and the last 300 he started to kick and it looks like an earthquake, my hands were shaking,” Hutchinson said. “When he kicked at 200 left, nobody stood a chance.”

Four other local entries placed in Class 3A on Saturday, led by CaryGrove’s Ricky Hurley (second in discus) and Crystal Lake South’s Kyle Hedge (third in shot put). McHenry’s Kyle Postal cleared 6-6 for eighth in the high jump and Crystal Lake South’s 4x800 team of Drew Kopfman, David Lenzini, Jon Prus and Kyle Radosevich took ninth.

HARVARD – Woodstock’s Austin Butts was down, but not out.

Butts had just taken a line drive straight to the face off the bat of Richmond-Burton’s Kory Klicker in the bottom of the seventh inning with his Blue Streaks clinging to a one-run lead.

The junior starter went down to the ground, but jumped back to his feet seconds later with coaches and umpires telling him to stay down. After trainers declared Butts OK, he stayed in the game and retired the last Austin Butts three batters in order, giving the second-seeded Streaks a 2-1 win in Saturday’s Class 3A Harvard Regional final, their first regional championship in 22 seasons.

Woodstock advances to play Grayslake Central at 4 p.m. Wednesday in a Class 3A Marian Central Sectional semifinal.

“I feel a little woozy, but not bad,” said Butts, who couldn’t get his glove up in time on the line drive. “I got knocked out, and it just kind of clicked when I got up. The ball hit straight off me.”

All three outs in the bottom of the seventh were recorded on comebackers to Butts, who allowed one run on six hits and three walks. He struck out five in the complete-game victory.

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

Epic series to be decided in Game 7

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There’s no escaping the numbers, and the Irresistible Force vs. the Immovable Object showdown they create in Game 7 of the Western Conference final Sunday at the United Center.

The Blackhawks are 13-0 in Games 5 through 7 in the past two postseasons. They’re 5-0 when facing elimination. The Los Angeles Kings are 6-0 when facing elimination this spring alone and 2-0 in road Game 7s. And the 19 Kings expected to play Sunday are a combined 64-2 in Game 7s in their careers. Jus-

Game 7 vs. Los Angeles, 7 p.m. Sunday, NBCSN, AM-720 tin Williams, Marian Gaborik and Mike Richards each are 6-0 in Game 7s, and Williams has six goals and six assists in those six games.

Of course, the numbers are as meaningless as they are staggering.

Past is not prologue. History doesn’t always repeat itself. But they underscore just how good these teams have been – how talented, how mentally strong, how difficult to kill.

“Both teams are good when it comes down to big games, so it’s going to be the toughest game to win of the series,” Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. “Both teams are pretty equal in those kinds of situations, so it kind of evens out. It’s just best-of-one – one game, and winner goes to the Final.

So it’s pretty exciting.”

Fitting, too. The series has been riveting, deemed by countless pundits and writers as one of the best in recent memory. Not just because of the caliber of play, which has been sensational – high-paced, frenetic,

CLASS 2A BOYS TRACK & FIELD STATE MEET

Marengo’s Jackson takes 3rd in 100

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Marengo sophomore Jarrell Jackson smiled when asked if he thought, a few months ago, he might finish the season with a third-place state medal around his neck.

“No, I did not think that,” said Jackson, after taking third in the Class 2A 100 meters at the boys state track and field meet. “It was pretty good. I think I could have done better.”

Jackson ran right with Chicago Dunbar’s Demoria Harris and Sycamore’s Dion Hooker, even leading briefly, before being edged out at the finish line Sat-

urday at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium. Harris finished in 10.83, Hooker in 10.84, Jackson in 10.92, only three-hundredths off his qualifying time from Friday.

Johnsburg’s 4x800 relay team of Sam Blankenship, Matt Stelmasek, Mark Gaura and Noah Miller finished eighth in Class 2A. Woodstock North pole vaulter Jimmy Krenger finished ninth for the second state medal in school history.

Marengo coach Jared Secor said Jackson’s best 100 time as a freshman was 11.3.

“It’s been awesome how far he’s come,” Secor said. “We’re already talking about what we want

to do, getting more guys out and putting together 4x100 and 4x200 relays. And we want to work on his finish and get better in the 200.”

Jackson did not qualify for the 200 finals, but made the most of his brief time on the blue track at O’Brien Stadium. It was Marengo’s highest boys state finish since Anthony Weber was Class A pole vault runner-up in 2003.

“The next two years could be pretty exciting,” Jackson said.

Secor concurred.

“Jarrell is only going to use this to get better,” he said.

Johnsburg’s 4x800 team did not improve on its qualifying time from Friday’s preliminary

heats, but earned its school’s first track and field medal since 2009.

All four runners return next year.

“It was pretty good,” Stelmasek said. “It wasn’t our best, but we gave it our all and that’s all you can ask. We hoped to get a medal and we got one. It’s a good learning experience.”

Krenger, a junior, tied his career-best height of 13-6 in the pole vault, but missed at 13-9. Former teammate Jon Walsh, who will vault at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale next year, won the Class 2A pole vault two years Clark Brooks for the Northwest Herald ago, the Thunder’s first state medal in any sport. Walsh was with Marengo’s Jarrell Jackson runs in the 100-meter final in the Krenger family over the week- the Class 2A boys track and field state meet Saturday in end and helped coach Krenger.

Jacobs raises hardware Big 4th inning jolts Golden Eagles to 2nd straight regional championship

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For the first three innings of Saturday’s Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional final against Barrington, the Jacobs baseball team was painfully close to getting on the scoreboard, but left multiple runners on base.

In the fourth, however, the second-seeded Golden Eagles broke through in a big way with seven runs to put the game out of reach, winning their second straight regional title with a 7-2 victory over the top-seeded Broncos.

Ryan Sargent and Jake Jemmi singled to lead off the inning, and after a one-out walk to Daniel Tenayuca, Matt Kozlak coaxed a walk from losing pitcher Brad Powell to tie the score at 1.

After the Broncos went to the third pitcher of the inning, Ben Murray walked against Anthony Delaurentis to give Jacobs the lead for good at 2-1. Grant Kale added an RBI single and a fourth run scored on a fielder’s choice, which brought Tim Hubner to the plate.

Hubner stroked a two-run double into the left-field corner to extend the Jacobs lead to 6-1 before Sargent became the sixth straight Jacobs hitter to get an RBI in the inning when he had an RBI single to make it 7-1, which forced Barrington to bring in its fourth pitcher of the inning.

“That was huge,” Hubner said.

“We didn’t have to worry anymore after that with a nice, comfortable lead and we could just finish out the game.”

After the big inning, it was smooth sailing for Jacobs starter Brenden Heiss, who took a no-hit-

ter into the fifth inning and gave up only three hits.

Golden Eagles coach Jamie Murray said the rally just underscored how the team has played all season and allowed Heiss to relax on the mound.

“Ultimately, our kids did a great job today,” Murray said. “We had a whole lot of quality at-bats. We got down one, but the players answered back and that is a testament to everything we’ve talked about all year.

“Whether we get up, we want to hold the momentum, and we get down, we are going to get the momentum back. I couldn’t be happier as a coach, and Brenden did an outstanding job pitching.”

It is a bit of déjà vu for Jacobs as the Golden Eagles beat Barrington in the regional final last season before defeating Hononegah in the sectional semifinal during their trip to the supersectionals in 2013.

BASEBALL: CLASS 4A DEKALB REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Huntley tops Dundee-Crown in extras to win crown

ccasey@shawmedia.com DEKALB – As the Class 4A DeKalb Regional final went to extra innings Saturday, members of the Huntley baseball team could not help but think about last year’s playoffs, and a game in which Dundee-Crown sent the Red Raiders home. When senior first baseman Tommy Kiriakopoulos stepped into the batters box in the eighth inning, he wanted to make sure that didn’t happen again.

Kiriakopoulos drove a ball into the right-center field gap, scoring teammate Brandon Altergott, and winning the Red Raiders a regional title over Dundee-Crown, 3-2.

“We were so much more hungry of a team after what happened last year,” Kiriakopoulos said. “When I saw that pitch coming in, I knew

• Huntley advances to the McHenry Sectional and will play Prairie Ridge at 4 p.m. Wednesday that was going to be the pitch I could do something with. I’m just happy I found a hole and got us the win.”

The walkoff double gave the loss to D-C’s Ahren Ludwig despite what his coach called an extremely gutsy effort.

“He did everything we could have

asked,” coach Jon Anderson said. “I thought, at the time, it was the right thing to take him out where we did, and it just didn’t work out this time.”

Johnson pulled Ludwig after he walked back-to-back batters in the eighth, and his pitch count reached 135 pitches. Riley Alvarado got Huntley catcher Mark Skonieczny to fly out to center before Kiriakopoulos drove in the winning run.

“I’m so proud of the way our kids battled today,” Red Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski said. “We stuck with it, and, wow, what a great high school baseball game.”

The game went scoreless through the first two innings before Huntley capitalized in its half of the third inning. After Johnny Nugent had a bunt single and Altergott walked, Skonieczny came up with two outs.

The senior took a two-strike pitch

that did not miss by much, and then lined a ball into right field scoring both runners.

Huntley (26-7-1) did not hold off D-C for long, as the Chargers loaded the bases in their half of the fourth. No. 9 hitter Tyler Lewan hit a groundball to shortstop, and beat the throw for an infield RBI single.

D-C (14-19) tied the score in the fifth on back-to-back doubles by Zach Girard and Brett Johnson. Two batters later, Huntley starter Adam Kalish was pulled, giving way to Nick Costantino, who threw 3⅓ shut out innings and got the win. “[Costantino] came into a tough jam,” Jakubowski said. “He held them right where they were, was lights out, and gave us a chance to win.”

Huntley will play Prairie Ridge at 4 p.m. Wednesday in a McHenry Sectional semifinal at Petersen Park.

Hurley threw 176-7, which was better than his throw in Friday’s preliminary competition, but not enough to top Benet Academy’s Stephen Hubona (185-1).

“I’m a little happier today,” Hurley said. “I’m kind of stoked to get second place. That means next year I’ll be winning it.”

Hedge’s 58-5 preliminary throw stood up through the finals for third place, the Gators’ highest boys placement in school history.

“I’m happy,” Hedge said. “Coming in, I wanted to win, but I’m content with top three. I [got a personal record] by 2 feet, so I can’t be mad about that.”

Postal also landed a career-best when he cleared 6-6 on his first attempt in the high jump. He did not miss until his three jumps at 6-7, which gave him eighth over Belvidere North’s Todd Berkenpas and Oak Park-River Forest’s Chris Wright-Madison, who also made 6-6.

“It’s a great way to end my high school career,” Postal said. “I would have liked to do a little better, but I’m happy with what I got.”

South’s 4x800 team had reached the state meet for seven consecutive years, but had not medaled until Saturday. The Gators knocked three seconds off their qualifying time with a 7:50.26. Lenzini, Kopfman and Radosevich are seniors, who missed their commencement Saturday to run. Prus is a freshman.

“I wouldn’t change anything about it,” Lenzini said. “To finish on the [award stand] is all I can ask for.”

Streaks take lead in 4th • BLUE STREAKS Continued from page C1 “He’s just the man,” Woodstock coach John Oliveira said. “There’s no other way to put it. He’s a competitor and the only way he was coming out of the game is if the trainers and doctors said he couldn’t go.”

Woodstock (14-18) scored first in the second on an infield RBI single from Cameron Grisolia (2 for 2), driving in No. 4 hitter Jace Pohlman, who tripled in his at-bat. R-B answered back with the tying run in the third, scoring Jake Tiso on an RBI base hit from Mike Kaska (2 for 3).

The game-winning run came courtesy of two infield errors by the Rockets in the fourth. Woodstock’s Eric Bell and Pohlman each reached base on errors to start the inning, followed by a sacrifice bunt from Grisolia. Bell then came around to score on a strikeout from R-B starter Brian Wells when the ball hit the dirt and skipped to the backstop.

Wells pitched all seven innings for the Rockets (19-12), allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six.

Brett Sheahen had the only extra-base hit for the Rockets, a two-out double in the second. R-B was thrown out on the base paths three times.

“Bottom line for us is we didn’t hit today,” said R-B coach Mike Giese, whose Rockets had won three consecutive regional titles. “We didn’t have the timely hitting that we needed.

They were just too scattered out. I give credit to Butts. He kept us off balance and he earned it. They earned it.”

Oliveira said it’s been a long time coming for Woodstock, which last won a regional title in 1992.

“It’s the same stuff that we talk about every year,” Oliveira said. “Compete hard in conference and win your regional. Last year, all but two kids were on this team. All the juniors here now were on that team last year, and it was good to get that opportunity again.”

Scoreboard

sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – Entering the Huntley Regional championship, the Huntley softball team knew three runs could win the ballgame against DeKalb. That is exactly what DeKalb scored.

The Barbs scored two runs in the first inning and added a third in the fourth inning as DeKalb beat Huntley, 3-0, to move onto the Class 4A Jacobs Sectional.

“Our game plan was thinking that we needed three to win here,” Red Raiders coach Mark Petryniec said. “It was just one of those days where nothing seemed to work. We just didn’t get that one extra thing that would have made things tip in our favor. It is what it is.”

It was a pitchers’ duel throughout, and Kateri Conklin did all she could in the circle. The freshman threw all six innings for Huntley (20-17).

Conklin allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out two. She also walked three and hit two DeKalb (26-7) batters.

“I could have done better at times. It was a tough strike zone, but you can always adjust and throw better,” Conklin said. “We could have done better, but as a team, we played

WOODSTOCK – Marengo catcher Taylor Carlson switched to a split grip at the plate – to counteract a recent tendency to pop up – Saturday in the Class 3A Woodstock North Regional softball final against Richmond-Burton.

It worked.

Carlson pounded out three hits, including a double, and drove in four runs as the Indians beat the Rockets, 11-1, in five innings.

The adjustment was about all the strategy Carlson changed at the plate.

“I just try and hit the ball.

I don’t care where it goes,” Carlson said.

by Dionne.

The early lead was all that Dionne (20-4) needed as she struck out nine in five innings.

“I knew we had our insurance and that just made me more relaxed on the mound,” Dionne said.

After throwing a no-hitter against Woodstock North on Wednesday in a regional semifinal, Dionne started the game strong.

“For [Dionne] to strike out the first seven was huge,” Nance said. “You jump out with an early lead and she can just throw her pitches and be aggressive.”

What concerned Nance going into the game was the variety of ways the Rockets (18-12) could get on base.

“They’re a very good hitting team,” Nance said. “They have a bit of everything. That scares me.”

That showed in the third

inning as the Rockets put together a walk by Allie Hogan and singles by Sam Wegner and Stephanie Pedley to score Hogan for their only run.

“We kind of lost it a little bit there,” Dionne said of the third inning. “I really didn’t have too much concern because I knew my defense had my back.”

Also for Marengo, Leah Secor drove in a run and scored and Gabbi Markison doubled in a run and scored two runs.

R-B coach Stephanie Rasmusen said it was tough to hit against Dionne with a wide strike zone being called.

“The umpire was giving [Dionne] that low outside corner,” Rasmusen said. “It’s tough for any hitter to go out and get that.”

Even after getting down early, Rasmusen said she was proud of the way her team battled.

“They had a fantastic season. They never gave up,” Rasmusen said.

The major issue Huntley had to deal with was the opposing pitcher Katie Kowalski.

The Red Raiders managed one hit in the contest, a second-inning double by Megan Baczewski.

Only three batters reached base against Kowalski and Huntley’s best chance to score was in the fourth inning, when Shannon Walsh opened with a walk. She stole two bases but was left stranded at third.

BASEBALL: CLASS 4A GRAYSLAKE NORTH REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

BASEBALL: CLASS 3A GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Sargeant powers PR’s title J’burg comes up short Senior’s homer in 9th sends Wolves to sectional semis

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com GRAYSLAKE – There hadn’t been a game this spring when Marcus Sargeant hadn’t hit the ball hard at least once.

Until Saturday.

In his first three at-bats in a scoreless Class 4A Grayslake North Regional championship game, the Prairie Ridge senior first baseman had grounded out, flied out and stuck out looking. So when Sargeant stepped to the plate in the ninth inning, Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro sensed Sargeant would find a way to live up to the moment.

After seeing two fastballs and a curveball in the dirt, Sargeant drilled a game-winning solo home run that gave the Wolves a 1-0 win over top-seeded Grant, despite the Wolves managing only two hits.

But his hit, Sergeant knew, was solid.

“It was one of those where you hit it so square off the bat that you can’t even feel it,” Sargeant said. “You know it’s going to go far.”

With the win, third-seeded Prairie Ridge (22-16) advances to the McHenry Sectional semifinals, where the Wolves

Wednesday. The Red Raiders advanced with a 3-2 eight-inning victory over DundeeCrown on Saturday in the DeKalb Regional title game.

Sargeant’s home run provided the offensive spark that had been missing over the first eight innings. The Wolves went without a hit until the seventh when Austin Covers delivered a two-out infield single. Despite the lack of hits, though, Covers allowed only two Grant hits in seven innings before closer Jack Myers took over in the eighth.

“It’s tough going out there [with a] 0-0 score because you have to put up another zero,” said Covers, who struck out nine in seven innings and left Grant runners stranded at third base in both the fifth and sixth innings. “But with the defense behind me, I knew we could do it.”

Prairie Ridge loaded the bases in the ninth and Dustin Thelander was up 3-0 in the count, needing only one more ball to force the go-ahead run home. Earlier in the inning, Pecoraro had called for two squeeze bunt attempts to try to push a run across the plate.

But when neither worked and Thelander flew out, the Wolves were forced to rely on pitching to keep their championship hopes alive.

Myers kept the game scoreless in the eighth and then went out in the ninth with the 1-0 lead, thanks to Sargeant’s home run. After quickly retiring the first two batters he faced in the ninth, Myers walked a batter and hit another. Suddenly, Grant had runners on second and third, threatening to tie – and possibly win – the game.

“I just thought, ‘I need to hit my spots and trust my infield behind me,’ ” Myers said.

“That’s what I did and it usually works out.”

It worked again Saturday when Myers got Nathan Khun to ground out, delivering a dramatic regional title to a team that started the year 2-8.

“We’ve been fortunate to win a lot of regional titles, but this one may mean the most because we have overcome numerous challenges this year,” Pecoraro said. “But these guys have stayed together and kept believing and I’m real excited and proud as [heck] of what they’ve accomplished.”

By JEFF ARNOLD

“Baseball is a game of inches, it’s a game of small ball. Unfortunately, they did a few more things a little better than we did and that’s why they’re advancing.”

jarnold@shawmedia.com GRAYSLAKE – With only three outs left to erase a tworun deficit, Mike Pritts figured there still wasa chance.

All season, the Johnsburg baseball team had proved it could play from behind and pull out wins late. But, with its season on the line, having watched an early tworun lead disappear, the Skyhawks were running out of time.

Top-seeded Grayslake Central turned a Johnsburg error and an RBI single into a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning of Saturday’s Class 3A Grayslake Central Regional championship game. But an inning after using a perfectly executed sacrifice to draw even, the Skyhawks couldn’t get the offense they needed in their final at-bat.

“We definitely felt like we had something left in us,” said Pritts, who was solid on the mound through five innings and who gave Johnsburg an early 2-0 lead with a first-inning, two-run single.

Instead, Grayslake Central – which will face Woodstock at 4 p.m. Wednesday in a Marian Central Sectional semifinal – escaped with its third straight regional title and sixth in the past seven seasons. The Rams fought back from the early deficit and took a 3-2 lead in

the fifth inning when Kyle Clark came through with a two-run single.

Johnsburg (18-13) responded with a run in the sixth on Kevin Kordik’s RBI ground out, showing the Skyhawks weren’t going away.

“They brought it,” Grayslake Central coach Troy Whalen said of Johnsburg’s effort.

“They were not afraid. You could tell they weren’t intimidated by playing us. They had the look in their eye that they

expected to win.

“But in the postseason, it’s all about advancing.”

That’s what the Rams did after pushing the winning runs across the plate, both with two outs. Grayslake Central took a 4-3 lead on an errant infield throw on a routine ground ball before Pat Burba added an insurance run, forcing the Skyhawks to respond to their biggest deficit of the day.

It didn’t happen.

“Baseball is a game of inches, it’s a game of small ball,” Johnsburg coach Sam Lesniak said. “Unfortunately, they did a few more things a little better than we did and that’s why they’re advancing.”

The loss hit Johnsburg’s seniors hard. The Skyhawks won regional titles in 1983 and 2009. Despite that, though, seeing the season end so abruptly was a difficult gut punch to take.

“It’s tough – I don’t know what else to say,” Pritts said.

“It’s not a good feeling, but you have to move on.”

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL: BLACKHAWKS VS. KINGS

Kane moving Experts at narrow escapes 17-6 in games into an elite club Hawks tied in 3rd period in Too easy. Much too easy.

That’s what stands out about Patrick Kane’s game-winning goal Friday night. I know: Easy for me to say.

I don’t at all mean to minimize the skill set involved. God gives stingily what He has given Kane.

But there’s a deeper meaning in how the Blackhawks star was able to skate around Los Angeles Kings defenders late in a tight game in which most shots had been challenged like recount votes.

The message in the ease of locomotion is that opponents are scared to death of Kane, the way opponents were scared to death of Michael Jordan at all times, but especially with the game Patrick Kane on the line.

This little guy, this waif of an athlete, has Jordan-like flair and a Jordan-like feel for the moment, and if hockey fans don’t like a basketball player being used for comparison purposes, well, there are worse things in life. And if Kane keeps doing what he has been doing the past seven years, he could have a Jordan-like grip on Chicago.

We certainly are in the market for a transcendent superstar.

With less than four minutes left in Game 6 of the Western Conference final, Kane circled with the puck around three Kings offering minimal resistance and, from high in the slot, slipped a wrist shot past goalie Jonathan Quick.

The Kings had given Kane too much of what hockey people call “time and space,” likely because they were too worried about his enormous talent, as contradictory as that might sound. They gave him room because they didn’t want him to make them look bad with a slick move or pass. He does that to teams regularly.

It wasn’t surrender. It was dread, with a fear of embarrassment on the side. With Kane, the implied threat is as dangerous as the real threat. It’s why his defending champion Hawks are one step away from another trip to the Stanley Cup Final. Game 7 is Sunday at the United Center. If there’s a big moment to be grabbed, you’d be wise to bet on Kane’s gloved hand doing the grabbing.

The Bulls’ Derrick Rose has been hurt for what feels like forever, and the memories of his furious drives to the basket are starting to fade around the edges. The Bears don’t have a superstar. The White Sox have a spectacular rookie in Jose Abreu, but there’s so much

VIEWS Rick Morrissey more we need to see from him.

Kane’s teammate, Jonathan Toews, is the unquestioned leader of the Hawks, and he’s on a fast track to the Hall of Fame. But Kane answers to the city’s need for style.

Chicago loved Jordan and Walter Payton because they did great things beautifully. They could raise the heart rate of even the most embedded couch potato.

Sammy Sosa did that for a long time until suspicions set in that he might be getting special help, and I don’t mean tutoring.

Kane does the remarkable routinely.

Last season, his double-overtime game-winner in Game 5 of the conference final sent the Hawks to the Stanley Cup Final. He took a beautiful pass from Toews, onetimed a shot that beat Quick and slid across the ice on his knees in celebration, a man in his element.

Chicagoans can recite his heroics like they can recite family birthdays. His sneaky goal to win the 2010 Stanley Cup against Philadelphia. His shorthanded goal with 13.6 seconds left in regulation to tie Nashville earlier in those playoffs.

His bad-angle backhander against Minnesota in the second round this year, the puck hitting all three bars of the net as if it were a xylophone. Et cetera.

Late Friday night, Toews captured the essence of Kane perfectly, and although the quote has made the rounds, it bears repeating: “I looked at him, I think it was about a minute left, I think there was a stoppage of play and I almost started laughing. It’s amazing what he can do in these big games, when our season is on the line and nobody else seems to be able to do it the same way he does it.’’

That’s it, isn’t it? He drifts through shifts and games, and people start to grumble, “Where’s Kane?’’ But as the train approaches and the damsel needs untying from the tracks, here comes the aw-shucks kid fumbling with his white hat. You just have to laugh.

Chicago has M.J. and Sweetness, Dick Butkus and Ernie Banks, all of them bigger than life.

It might want to make room for the little hockey player.

past 2 postseasons

By MARK POTASH

It’s hard to blame the Hawks for being so confident. The list of narrow escapes is as impressive as it is long.

From elimination games to avoiding elimination games, they know how to get themselves out of trouble:

2013: The Hawks were 70 seconds away from a Game 7 coin flip at the United Center when Bryan Bickell scored with 1:09 to play and Dave Bolland scored 17 seconds later as the Hawks clinched their second Cup in four years.

2. Game 7 vs. Detroit, second round, The Hawks are 17-6 in games that 2013: With momentum after winning are tied in the third period in the past Games 5 and 6, the Hawks still needtwo postseasons. The Kings – as close ed overtime to win the deciding game to the Hawks as any team in that span at the United Center. After Niklas Hjalmarsson’s late third-period goal – are 6-8 in the same category.

“Competitive guys. They find a was disallowed because of a penalty, way,” coach Joel Quenneville said. Brent Seabrook scored with a shot “They overcome a lot of different chal- that deflected off defenseman Niklas lenges. They want to win. [Game 6] is a Kronwall’s leg past Jimmy Howard.

But Patrick ability to score. And it’s always there.” Kane fed Duncan Keith for the tying While close calls usually exhaust a goal with 8:46 left in regulation, then team over time, they only seem to fuel scored the game-winner with 3:45 to go the Hawks – who are 13-0 in Games 5 as the Hawks hung on to force Game 7.

4. Game 6 at Detoit, second round, through 7 of the playoffs in the past two seasons, including 5-0 in overtime. 2013: The Hawks were less than 20 “We’ve done it quite a bit here,” minutes from elimination on the road Quenneville said. “We’ve been behind when Michal Handzus tied the score in a lot of these series lately. To me, early in the third period. Bryan Bickit’s a seven-game series and it gets ell and Michael Frolik also scored in sorted out at the end. We find a way the period and the Hawks hung on for to get better as we go along in series a 4-3 victory that forced a Game 7 at and in games. That’s what we look for- the United Center.

5. Game 6 at Boston, Stanley Cup Final, ward to (in Game 7). mpotash@suntimes.com

at the United Center and TD Garden to fall behind 2-1 in the series, the Hawks lost leads of 1-0, 4-2 and 5-4 before Brent Seabrook’s overtime goal gave them a 6-5 victory to avoid a 3-1 deficit.

7. Game 4 vs. Vancouver, second-round, 2009: Down 2-1 in the series and 1-0 in the third period at home, the Hawks were minutes from an elimination game in Vancouver when Martin Havlat scored the tying goal with 2:44 left in regulation and Andrew Ladd won it in overtime after Nikolai Khabibulin made a big save on Henrik Sedin. In a watershed moment, the Hawks won the series in six games.

8. Game 5 vs. Nashville, first round, 2010: The Hawks were seconds away from playing an elimination game on the road when Patrick Kane scored the tying goal with 14 seconds left in regulation. Marian Hossa, just out of the penalty box, won it in overtime.

9. Game 4 at Nashville, first round, 2010: After losing 4-1 in the opener at the United Center and losing 4-1 in Game 3 at Nashville, the Hawks avoided a 3-1 series deficit with 3-0 road victory behind Patrick Sharp (two goals), Jonathan Toews (goal, assist) and Antti Niemi (33 saves).

10. Game 2 vs. Vancouver, second round, 2010: After losing 4-1 in Game 1 at the United Center, the Hawks fell behind, 2-0, in the first 5:02 of Game 2 at home and still trailed 2-1 in the third period. But Patrick Sharp scored a short-handed goal with 13:11 left in regulation and Kris Versteeg scored with 1:30 to go as the Hawks avoided falling into a 2-0 deficit with three of the next four games in Vancouver.

Players can sense how special series is so far • BLACKHAWKS Continued from page C1 end-to-end, high-scoring hockey. But also because of the character of the teams – the past two Stanley Cup champions, unshakeable and relentless.

There very well might be such a thing as momentum, but in this series, with these two teams, it never lasts long.

Even the players in the midst of the action can tell they’ve been part of something special, something that will be remembered for some time.

“You can feel it’s high-level hockey, that’s for sure,” Hjalmarsson said.

“They’re bringing it every game, they’re a machine-like team. … I really think this series deserved a Game 7. I think the crowd deserved it, too. It’s going to be a great finish to a great series.”

The Hawks have forced this Game

7 by the skin of their teeth – rallying from one-goal, third-period deficits in both Games 5 and 6. They won Game 5 at home in double overtime. They won Game 6 in Los Angeles on Patrick Kane’s goal with 3:45 left in the game.

So it’s not as if they’ve dominated and demoralized the Kings, who put on a confident face after squandering a chance to put away the series at home.

“We’re over it already,” defenseman Drew Doughty said. “It’s not that tough (to move on). We’re fine. We still believe we could have won (Game 6). We know that we can still beat this Chicago Blackhawks team. But we also know it’s not going to be easy.”

It’s the second straight year the Hawks have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-1. In last spring’s second round, the Hawks rallied in the third period to win Game 6 on the road,

then recovered from Hjalmarsson’s apparent game-winner late in the third being disallowed because of a questionable call on Brandon Saad far behind the play.

“I still have a mark in my stall from the intermission,” Hjalmarsson said about how angry he was that night.

“It reminds me every day I go to my stall. Hopefully, I can get one of those allowed.”

He can laugh about it now, because Brent Seabrook scored in overtime and the Hawks went on to win the Cup. But it’s a reminder of just how fine a line it is between winning and losing, especially in the playoffs, especially in Game 7.

“It’s one game, but there’s a lot at stake,” coach Joel Quenneville said.

“I’m sure the guys are going to have a lot of fun with it.”

OLYMPICS - RIO 2016

Work on golf course could be halted

By STEPHEN WADE The Associated Press

AP photo

The Rio 2016 Olympic golf course is under construction on May 13 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Grass has been going down for several weeks at the course, which created an upbeat mood as golf prepares to return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence. That changed Saturday when Rio organizers confirmed that a state prosecutor could halt work on the course unless the developer shows it is following environmental regulations and other requirements under Brazilian law.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Like other delayed venues for the beleaguered Rio 2016 Olympics, work on the golf course has fallen behind schedule.

But grass has been going down for several weeks at the course, which has created an upbeat mood as golf prepares to return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence.

That changed Saturday when Rio organizers confirmed that a state prosecutor could halt work on the course unless the developer shows it is following environmental regulations and other requirements under Brazilian law.

Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada confirmed the inquiry Saturday and said developers had been asked to provide

Mickelson says he’s cooperating in probe

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press DUBLIN, Ohio – Hall of Fame golfer Phil Mickelson confirmed that FBI agents investigating insider trading approached him this week at the Memorial Tournament. The five-time major champion said Saturday he has done “absolutely nothing wrong.”

A federal official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission are analyzing trades Mickelson and Las Vegas gambler Billy Walters made involving Clorox at the same time activist investor Carl Icahn was attempting to take over the company.

When Icahn’s intent became public, the stock price jumped.

The official was unauthorized to speak about the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Reports of the investigation appeared in several newspapers, including the Wall Street Jour-

nal.

Smiling as he stood before a room packed with reporters and cameras, Mickelson said the case had not been a distraction until FBI agents approached him after his opening round Thursday. He said it would not affect his preparations Phil Mickelson for the U.S. Open in two weeks, the only major he lacks for the career Grand Slam.

“It’s not going to change the way I carry myself,” Mickelson said after an even-par 72 left him far behind the leaders.

“Honestly, I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m not going to walk around any other way.”

The federal official told the AP that Mickelson and Walters placed their trades about the same time in 2011. Federal investigators are looking into whether Icahn shared information of his takeover attempt

documentation that would allow the work to continue.

“The state prosecutor is asking for the papers to show the work is proceeding according to the law,” Andrada told The Associated Press.

“We believe all the rules are being followed.”

Any delay would be another blow to Rio’s troubled Olympics. The International Olympic Committee has dispatched a special troubleshooter to accelerate Rio’s work, and recently IOC vice president John Coates called Rio’s preparations were the “worst” in memory.

Construction on the privately developed course, located about 15 miles west of Rio’s famous Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, had been delayed by an on-going legal dispute over land ownership,

protests by environmentalists centered on the loss of a wetland area, and teething problems for a sport new to Brazil.

Plans call for the course to be public after the Olympics, although it’s being built in a luxury apartment development where units are selling for a minimum of $2.5 million with many priced higher.

In a recent interview with the AP, American golf architect Gil Hanse said the course should be fully grassed by November, and could be playable midway through 2015. He said it would not be “tournament ready” until a few months before the games begin Aug. 5, 2016.

“I think we are as organized as we have ever been,” he said. “Going forward we have to make sure we don’t all of a sudden start to rush

the finish work. Because ultimately the details of the finished surface are what players are going to see. You need to lavish lots of time and attention on the details of the finished surfaces.”

Hanse said a test event is likely before the Olympics, although Peter Dawson, head of the International Golf Federation, suggested it might be difficult.

The course itself could be dwarfed by what’s going up around it in Barra da Tijuca, the site for the Olympic Park and many games’ venues.

Developers plan to build 160 luxury apartments in four 20-story towers overlooking the course.

A key player in the project is Italy-born Pasquale Mauro, one of the largest landowners in the Barra area.

ROUNDUP

Watson holds 1-shot lead at Memorial

of Clorox with Walters, and whether Walters passed that information to Mickelson.

The New York offices of the U.S. Attorney and the FBI declined to comment. The newspaper reports said federal officials also were examining trades by Mickelson and Walters involving Dean Foods Co. in 2012.

After a brief interview, Mickelson stepped outside and signed autographs for about 20 minutes, like it was any other day at a tournament. Fans were supportive as ever on the golf course, and Mickelson gave away so many golf balls to children and his caddie asked a tour official to retrieve more balls from his locker when they reached the turn.

Mickelson wouldn’t discuss details about his relationship with Walters, a multimillionaire who owns several golf courses and auto dealerships.

He wouldn’t talk about stock tips he received, but reiterated that he did nothing wrong.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBLIN, Ohio – Bubba Watson has been coming to Muirfield Village since his rookie year on the PGA Tour.

Nine years later, he might finally have figured it out.

He had only five rounds in the 60s in his previous eight trips. Even with a bogey on his final hole Saturday, he had a 3-under-par 69 for his third straight round in the 60s this week. Watson is 11 under on the par 5s, the key to scoring.

Best of all, he walked off the course with a one-shot lead over Scott Langley in the Memorial. Not bad for a guy who never has finished better than a tie for 23rd.

Watson was at 12-under 204 and in position for his third win of the year.

With a bogey on the final hole, Watson’s lead shrunk to one shot over Langley, who had a 67 to make it an all-southpaw final pairing

Sunday.

The most famous Lefty, Phil Mickelson, had a 72 and was 10 shots out of the lead while coping with reports he is involved in a federal investigation of insider trading.

Mickelson confirmed that FBI agents approached him after the first round this week.

Otherwise, he went about his business on the golf course.

Shoprite LPGA Classic: At Galloway Township, N.J., Stacy Lewis moved into position to take the top spot in the world, shooting a bogey-free 8-under 63 to match the 36-hole record in the LPGA event.

The second-ranked Lewis had a 12-under 130 total on the Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club.

A victory Sunday would guarantee Lewis the No. 1 ranking, which Inbee Park has held for 59 straight weeks after taking it from Lewis.

Park, playing in the windier afternoon session, had a 70 to

fall six strokes back.

Lewis, the North Texas LPGA Shootout winner four weeks ago, also had shot 130 through two rounds in her 2012 victory at Seaview. The only other players to finish the first two rounds at 130 were Amy Benz at Greate Bay Country Club in 1996 and Denise Killeen at Seaview in 2004.

First-round leader Jennifer Johnson followed her course record 63 with a 70 to finish at 10 under.

Principal Charity Classic: At Des Moines, Iowa, Doug Garwood shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-shot lead after the second round of the Champions Tour’s event. Garwood had an 11-under 133 total at Wakonda Club.

Nordea Masters: At Malmo, Sweden, second-ranked Henrik Stenson shot an 8-under 64 for a share of the third-round lead with England’s Eddie Pepperell.

tginnetti@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The novelty of interleague baseball wore off for fans and players long ago.

Unless it is the New York Yankees traveling to a National League city, there is hardly a buzz to games between teams that used to meet only for the ultimate baseball prize in October.

The San Diego Padres are visiting the White Sox for only the second time but are making the most of the trip with two victories, including Saturday’s 4-2 win that drew a modest 19,025.

For American League teams traveling to NL cities, the dilemma of interleague play remains losing the designated hitter.

Rizzo, Hammel lead Cubs to win over Brewers MILWAUKEE – Anthony Rizzo hit two two-run homers and Jason Hammel tossed seven strong innings Saturday, lifting the Cubs to an 8-0 win over the Brewers.

Both of Rizzo’s homers came on full-count pitches and went deep to right, the second one into the second deck to give the Cubs a four-run lead in the sixth.

It was more than enough support for Hammel (6-3), who frustrated the Brewers by mixing a fastball in the low 90s with a tough slider. He allowed just four hits while striking out a season -high eight to help the Cubs snap a three-game losing streak.

The Cubs chased Wily Peralta (45) in the five-run sixth that started with a single from Hammel, who later scored on Rizzo’s homer.

– The Associated Press

For the Sox, who head to Los Angeles on Monday to play the Dodgers, it probably will mean putting slugger Jose Abreu in the field if he is able to return off the disabled list on schedule instead of easing him back as the DH. Abreu took swings Saturday at U.S. Jose Abreu Cellular Field in a brief simulated game – one in which he took an unexpected ball to the back of his upper left arm as he was testing his ailing left ankle. Abreu shook off the unintended plunk from Single A righthander Bradley Salgado, who was brought up for the occasion.

Abreu will repeat the sim-

ulated game drill Sunday.

But a simulated game tests Abreu’s batting eye and approach at the plate, not his mobility in the field.

If the Sox wanted Abreu to refrain from playing first base, he’d have to wait until Friday when the team makes the short trip from Los Angeles to Anaheim to play the Angels in DH territory again.

Manager Robin Ventura said the Sox decided against sending Abreu to a minor league rehab assignment to keep a closer eye on him.

“I think [trainer Herm Schneider] was pretty adamant about keeping him here and being able to watch him, and we have a better idea of his mannerisms and his reactions to certain things,” Ventura said.

White Sox fall to Padres CHICAGO – Will Venable had a season-high four hits and drove in two runs to help the San Diego Padres beat the White Sox, 4-2, on Saturday.

Tyson Ross (6-4) limited the Sox to two runs – one earned – on five hits in six innings, and Huston Street remained perfect in 17 save chances this season.

San Diego improved to 20-4 this season when scoring four or more runs.

In the third series between the two teams – and the first since 2005 – the Padres had the leadoff hitter reach base in seven of the nine innings.

The Sox managed only one base runner in the final four innings.

– The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The White Sox were hot against division rival Cleveland last week, sweeping the Indians in a three-game series.

But the Sox have lost their bats against the visiting San Diego Padres.

The Sox had only five hits Saturday after a four-hit game a night earlier, losing 4-2 and falling below .500 again (28-29).

“The offense is sputtering right now,” manager Robin Ventura said. “We’re not getting the big hit to get us over the hump.”

The Sox are hitting just .215 (41-191) with two homers and 15 runs scored over the past six games. They were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position Saturday.

They have struck out 23 times against Padres pitching.

“The last few games they ran out some good arms early, and you know what they’ve got in the eighth and ninth,” Adam Dunn said. “We’re not swinging the bats like we’re capable of the last few games.”

Padres starter Tyson Ross (6-4) worked six innings while closer Huston Street earned his 17th save. Sox starter Andre Rienzo had his shortest outing of the season (3⅓ innings) and shortest as a starter since Sept.

1 when he worked only three innings at Boston.

Long time, no see: The Sox and Padres have met just two other times in interleague play and not since 2005 when they played in Petco Park. The eight games the Sox have played against San Diego are their second fewest against a National League team.

They have played only six against the San Francisco Giants, who come for a two-game series June 17 and 18. The Sox are 2-3 against the Padres at home and 2-1 in San Diego.

CUBS

Kenney receives five-year extension

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MILWAUKEE – That Cubs business president Crane Kenney got a contract extension through 2019 isn’t so much news as it is another reminder of the upside-down priorities of an organization that has made baseball look like an afterthought since hiring Theo Epstein to run that side of the operation in the fall of 2011.

Kenney is the most polarizing figure in the organization whose fingerprints are on every delay, gaffe, back-step and public-relations flub in the Wrigley renovation process – down to the irony that this leader in the fight against the rooftop own-

ers’ contractual rights happens to be the one who negotiated the 20-year rooftop contract for the Cubs in the first place.

K e n n e y boasted about his five-year extension Saturday as a defense against critics during a Crane Kenney radio interview that was part of a three-day media blitz over Chicago airwaves in response to mayor Rahm Emanuel’s pushback against some of the latest ballpark proposals.

Sources say that five-year deal was done close to six months ago, as the Cubs faced

another offseason without construction on long-planned ballpark renovations because of delays on Kenney’s watch.

According to one source, Epstein’s baseball department learned of the contract extension from the media over the winter – offering another example of the disconnect between business and baseball that has grown with every delay to a business plan that hasn’t kept up with the baseball side over the past two years.

Epstein has stopped short of calling out the business side, but has repeatedly emphasized the importance to the business plan “syncing up” with the baseball plan for the Cubs to achieve the promised turn-

around of the team. During a conversation with the SunTimes this spring, Epstein said the “sustained success” the Cubs talk about cannot be achieved through player development alone – specifically, that productive, veteran players must be in place before the prospects start getting to the majors.

That means being able to spend more than the $75 million on its big-league roster that the Cubs are spending in 2014. Some of that figure is a reflection of the $15 million or so that Epstein has taken from his 2014 budget to apply to future seasons as he compensates for budget cuts and delays in new revenues.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

FRENCH OPEN

Nadal’s bad back offers off-court drama in Paris

By HOWARD FENDRICH PARIS – The closest thing to intrigue or drama involving Rafael Nadal on Saturday came after his 31st consecutive French Open victory concluded.

That’s when the eight-time champion revealed that a painful back is slowing his serves – and, all in all, giving him more trouble than his opponents so far.

For now, leave the on-court theatrics to others. Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, for example, was clutching at aching hamstrings while being taken to 7-all in the fifth set by No. 28 Philipp Kohlschreiber before their third-round match was suspended for fading light. No. 23 Gael Monfils acknowledged tanking a set en route to a 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 0-6, 6-2 victory over No. 14 Fabio Fognini, who was docked a point for chucking his racket near a ball boy.

“They make a good show for the crowd,” Nadal said. “Long match.

Crowd involved. Good for tennis.”

Well, aside from the fact that Monfils and Fognini combined for more than twice as many unforced errors, 137, as winners, 66.

Nadal’s play was much, much cleaner: During the entire course of his 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 win against 65thranked Leonardo Mayer of Argentina, the No. 1-seeded Spaniard made 10 unforced errors – two in the first set, three in the second, five in the third.

He’s dropped a total of 19 games through three matches.

More worrisome would be his back, which also acted up in January during a loss to Stan Wawrinka in the Australian Open final.

“During my career, I had (a) few problems. ... Hopefully, will not be

Against Mayer, Nadal averaged only 102 mph on first serves, with a top speed of 114 mph.

That was down from an average of 111 mph and top of 122 mph in the first round Monday.

Through two matches, Nadal faced five break points and lost serve twice. He dealt with eight break points Saturday, losing two.

The last time Nadal won 31 matches in a row in Paris, he failed to get No. 32, losing in the fourth round in 2009 to Robin Soderling – a defeat that later was blamed, in part, on injured knees. That remains the Spaniard’s lone setback in 63 matches at the tournament.

Next for Nadal is 83rd-ranked Dusan Lajovic of Serbia, who beat

PARIS – A look at the French Open on Saturday: Men’s seeded winners: No. 1 Rafael Nadal, No. 5 David Ferrer, No. 19 Kevin Anderson, No. 23 Gael Monfils Men’s seeded losers: No. 14 Fabio Fognini, No. 32 Andreas Seppi Women’s seeded winners: No. 4 Simona Halep, No. 6 Jelena Jankovic, No. 10 Sara Errani, No. 15 Sloane Stephens, No. 23 Lucie Safarova, No. 27 Svetlana Kuznetsova, No. 28 Andrea Petkovic Women’s seeded losers: No. 5 Petra Kvitova, No. 11 Ana Ivanovic, No. 22 Ekaterina Makarova, No. 26 Sorana Cirstea.

On court Sunday: No. 2 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 4 Roger Federer vs. No. 18 Ernests Gulbis, No. 6 Tomas Berdych vs. No. 10 John Isner, No. 7 Andy Murray vs. No. 28 Philipp Kohlschreiber (to resume at 7-7 in the fifth set of a third-round match), No. 8 Milos Raonic vs. Marcel Granollers; No. 7 Maria Sharapova vs. No. 19 Samantha Stosur, No. 8 Angelique Kerber vs. No. 18 Eugenie Bouchard, No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro vs. Ajla Tomljanovic, Garbine Muguruza vs. Pauline Parmentier Jack Sock of the United States, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. Another American, Donald Young, lost in five sets to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain, leaving No. 10 John Isner as the last U.S. man.

Before this French Open, Lajovic had a 10-21 career record in tour-level matches, never winning two in a row.

“I saw him play a few times on TV. Sure, it’s great to have new players on tour, young players on the tour that are coming strong.

Hopefully, not too strong,” Nadal said with a smile. “We’ll see on Monday. I hope to be ready.”

8SPORTS SHORTS Bauer set to be next Jacobs AD Jeremy Bauer likely has coached his last softball game and golf match at Jacobs, as sources within District 300 have said that Bauer will take over as the school’s athletic director.

Bauer, who coaches softball and boys golf, said he could not comment on the position.

The district’s school board meets June 9. Jacobs coaches have received an email noting the change.

At the board meeting, Bauer will be recommended as AD. Current AD Dan Vosnos was hired by Homewood-Flossmoor in April, which left the position open at Jacobs.

Bauer has coached the softball team since 2004, during which time his teams are 247-123 with four regional titles and one sectional championship.

His golf teams also won Class 3A regionals in 2008 and 2013.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL GAME 6: SAN ANTONIO 112, OKLAHOMA CITY 107 (OT)

Spurs beat Thunder to set up Finals rematch

By CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY – The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 112-107, in overtime Saturday in Game 6 to set up a rematch with the Miami Heat.

Tim Duncan had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, who will host Game 1 on Thursday night as they try to avenge last year’s heartbreaking seven-game loss.

Proposed $40 million settlement set for players

U.S. lacks toughest opponents in warmups NEW YORK – Defending champion Spain and stars Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta will train in the Washington, D.C., area next week.

England and Wayne Rooney arrive Sunday for a week of workouts in Miami. Ivory Coast and Didier Drogba have games in St. Louis and Texas.

But instead of preparing for the World Cup against top teams and global stars, the United States arranged a sendoff series against No. 85 Azerbaijan, No. 39 Turkey and No. 44 Nigeria.

Not that U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann didn’t try to schedule tougher opponents.

“You’re trying to find the best teams that suit you.

It’s not that easy anymore,” he said leading to Sunday’s exhibition against the Turks at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey.

James, Merritt in photo finish in the Pre 400 EUGENE, Ore. – Kirani James of Grenada edged American LaShawn Merritt in a photo finish to win the men’s 400 meters Saturday in the 40th annual Prefontaine Classic.

James, the gold medalist in the 2012 London Olympics, bested his rival by leaning at the end to finish in 43.97 seconds, best in the world this season, in the third IAAF Diamond League event of the year.

Justin Gatlin won the 100 meters with a wind-aided 9.76 seconds.

Had it not been for the breeze, Gatlin’s time would have been the best in the world so far this season. It was the 2004 Olympic gold medalist’s third 100 title at the Prefontaine.

Three people killed at Scottish road rally EDINBURGH, Scotland – Police said three people were killed and six injured at a road rally in Scotland after two cars collided with spectators in separate accidents.

Organizers said the Jim Clark Rally in the Scottish Borders was canceled, and that they were cooperating with the police investigation to determine the cause of the crashes.

Police said the most serious crash took place at about 4 p.m. local time when a rally car came off the road near Kelso, hitting spectators.

Three were pronounced dead at the scene and a fourth was in a critical condition in an Edinburgh hospital.

Two hours earlier, another rally car injured five people, one of which was in serious condition.

The rally was stopped immediately after the second incident.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Heat set tone in training camp

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI – Erik Spoelstra said he mentioned how daunting the task would be only once.

In September, when the Miami Heat assembled to begin training camp, Spoelstra addressed his team about furthering its championship legacy and how rare it is for a team to find its way to the NBA Finals in four consecutive seasons.

“We’ve never brought it up since then,” Spoelstra said.

It’ll get brought up now. The seed the Heat coach planted in the Bahamas at that training camp took root. The Heat are Finals-bound – for the fourth straight time.

The sputtering stretches of play in March and April, surrendering the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs to Indiana, winning 12 fewer

Heat’s history in NBA finals The Miami Heat are looking for their fourth NBA championship in organization history and third consecutive. Below is a look at the Heat’s history in the Finals: 2006: Miami 4, Dallas 2 2011: Dallas 4, Miami 2 2012: Miami 4, Oklahoma City 1 2013: Miami 4, San Antonio 3 games in this regular season than a year ago, they all seem moot and meaningless now.

The Heat have a chance at a third consecutive NBA title, with the Finals starting Thursday night against San Antonio.

“It’s amazing to make it to one Finals,” Heat forward Shane Battier said. “To do it four times in a row for some of these guys, it’s a tremendous, tremendous accomplishment

and it speaks volumes to the dedication, luck and perseverance that you need to do it.”

Spoelstra spoke of that luck factor when he gathered his team for a locker-room huddle moments after the celebration started Friday night, after Miami wrapped up its fourth straight East crown with a 11792 win over Indiana to win the series in six games. His words were interrupted twice by LeBron James, which nobody minded.

“We don’t take this for granted,” Spoelstra said.

“No, sir,” James added, nodding.

Only six current Heat players appeared in the 2011 postseason, Miami’s first of the “Big 3” era and the last in which it actually lost a series.

James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, James Jones and Udonis Haslem are the last holdovers.

Battier and Norris Cole arrived after the 2011 Finals loss.

Ray Allen, Chris Andersen and Rashard Lewis – all playing huge roles these days for Miami – came after the first title run of this Heat era in 2012. The core of last season’s title squad, with the exception of amnestied Mike Miller, was back to try it again this time around.

Even with all that talent, with that championship experience, Spoelstra knew a tone had to be immediately set when the season began.

“What I was really encouraged about was our attendance and commitment in training camp in the Bahamas,” Spoelstra said. “Right from there, and we communicated during the summer that, if we’re real about this, about how difficult that journey is, that you cannot shortcut, that we would show it immediately in training camp.”

A $40 million settlement has been completed that will pay college football and basketball players dating to 2003 for the use of their likenesses in NCAA-branded videogames.

The payouts could go to more than 100,000 athletes, including some current players, who were either on college rosters or had their images used in videogames made by Electronic Arts featuring college teams.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs said it would be the first time college athletes will be paid for the commercial use of their images.

Depending on how many athletes apply for the settlement, the payments could range from as little as $48 for each year an athlete was on a roster to $951 for each year the image of an athlete was used in a videogame.

“We’re incredibly pleased with the results of this settlement and the opportunity to right a huge wrong enacted by the NCAA and EA against these players and their rights of publicity,” said Steve Berman, one of the lead attorneys in the case.

“We’ve fought against intense legal hurdles since filing this case in 2009 and to see this case come to fruition is a certain victory.”

The settlement is with Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Co., which licenses and markets college sports, and does not include the NCAA. The case against the NCAA is scheduled for trial early next year.

Plaintiffs in the case, which dates to 2009, contend the NCAA conspired with Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Co. to illegally use their images in videogames.

U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken still must approve the proposed settlement, which comes on the eve of a major antitrust trial against the NCAA that could reshape the way college sports operate. That case goes to trial June 9 in Oakland, California.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: FEDEX 400

Wins leader Johnson driver to beat again at Dover

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DOVER, Del. – Jimmie Johnson busted the definition of a minor slump at Charlotte.

His 0-for-11 start left some wondering when Johnson would take a checkered flag.

The six-time champ can check that off the list after winning the Coca-Cola 600. Now, it’s off to Dover International Speedway where Johnson is the heavy favorite Sunday to start a winning streak – and add to his résumé as the track’s greatest driver.

“We are coming to my favorite racetrack,” Johnson said, “and by the stats, probably our best track as well.”

When Johnson held off team-

mate Dale Earnhardt Jr. down the stretch in September, he zipped his way into the Dover record book with his eighth win. Johnson had shared the mark of seven wins on the concrete mile with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty. He swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010 and 2012. He needed only 24 starts to win eight – Petty needed 46 races to win seven times and Allison had 35 races.

Johnson was humbled by holding a place in history with NASCAR Hall of Famers.

“When I look at the people that I’m tying or have the opportunity to beat for those great titles, it’s the heroes of our sport,” he said. “When you look at their stats and what they’ve done for

our sport, household names, it’s no small feat to tie or have the opportunity to beat these guys for races won at the track.”

Johnson held his baby daughter in his arms in Victory Lane for the first time in 2010, and he celebrated in a clown wig in 2012. Sweet or silly, a Johnson romp at Dover has become an expected part of the NASCAR season.

His eight wins match his total at Martinsville for most at one track, checkered flags waved from the pre-Chase era through the Car of Tomorrow all the way to the Gen-6. But the cool, confident Johnson AP photo behind the wheel of the No. 48 Jimmie Johnson’s car is pushed out of the garage for practice Saturday Chevrolet with crew chief Chad Knaus calling the shots hasn’t for the NASCAR Sprint Cup FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. changed.

MOTIVATION Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward

Imagination helps unlock potential Imagination is the key to changing your life and your business for the better. Why? Because everything you create in your life and in your world started in your imagination. If that’s the case, how can you use your imagination to more effectively bring about the results you desire?

Why do some people appear to be more creative? Some companies more innovative? Some organizations more vital, energetic, engaged and successful?

Let’s step back and listen to how we talk to ourselves. We have conversations with ourselves that produce feelings. We experience those feelings as either positive or negative. When we are successful at making an important goal, meeting expectations, creating and delivering spectacular services or products, we say nice things to ourselves and we feel good.

When we miss the mark, or fall short in comparisons with others or competitors, we often say discouraging things to ourselves and feel not so good. Sometimes, we simply imagine bad things happening. Worry is a misuse of imagination. Worry is making pictures and having conversations inside about the worst that could happen.

When we worry, we use imagination to create scenarios of failure and frustration. We feel depleted, discouraged and find it easier to stop trying. That’s the negative power of imagination.

So now turn it around. Be for yourself. Start with knowing what you want. Unless you know what you truly want, how will you know you’re moving in the right direction? Once you have a clearly envisioned outcome, you can “start at the front of the line.” Most of us think that we have to work our way up through the line, wait our turn or wait for the right circumstances.

What we don’t know is that we can move to the front of the line instantly by using our imagination to think like the person at the front of the line.

We’re not talking about the “power of positive thinking” here. Positive thinking is not enough. It is good, but not enough. Do this with us: Imagine yourself as if you have already accomplished the goals and outcomes that you richly planned for yourself.

Imagine what you will be doing, what you will be enjoying now that you’ve landed a great new client, that you’ve increased your business 100 percent.

Now for the part that may need some practice: step in. Be that person now. Think from and imagine from that person now. Imagination lets you be in that future with those accomplishments and lets you look back and see what you’ve done to get there.

Notice how different this accomplished self thinks and uses her imagination.

The more you can be, imagine and behave as that more accomplished you, the more you will find yourself being that person. And that person is the one who can bring into reality all that you imagine.

This is not magical thinking, wishful thinking or hallucinating. Our thoughts have power. They inform and motivate. Thoughts and imagination make it all happen. The people who are most successful at creating success in their personal and professional lives are those who know how to imagine and step into and behave from that more accomplished self.

Swiss Automation material handler Eric Aguilar (lower right) works in the company’s 34,000-square-foot facility in Cary. An expansion project will add 18,000 square feet to the existing building. The addition is expected to be completed in the fall of this year. The company plans to add 60 workers in the coming years.

Machining expansion in Cary Swiss Automation plans to grow, add 60 employees in coming years

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Work has begun for an 18,000-square-foot expansion at Swiss Automation that is expected to bring 60 new jobs to Cary in the coming years.

The precision machining company is adding on to its 34,000-squarefoot Cary facility, a project that is expected to be completed by the fall, company Vice President Vanessa Malo-Kurzinski said.

“We need the room,” MaloKurzinski said. “We’re about to be maxed out in Cary.”

The Lake Barrington-based company bought its Cary location in 2010, and is close to filling it up, Malo-Kurzinski said.

“We anticipate the way orders are coming ... we’re going to need the space,” she said.

Of the new space, 85 percent will be for machinery. The remaining will be for storage, Malo-Kurzinski said. The company, which has 50 employees at its Cary location, expects to add 60 employees over the next couple of years, after the expansion is complete. The company hopes the expansion lasts eight to 10 years.

The new workers will mostly be machinists, with some material handlers, shipping employees and inspectors, Malo-Kurzinski said.

Malo-Kurzinski did not release the cost of the expansion.

When work is completed, the company expects to add 55 to 65 new machines to the Cary location.

Currently there are 128 machines between Swiss Automation’s Cary and Lake Barrington locations.

The company also plans an expansion of its Lake Barrington facility.

Swiss Automation uses computer numeric controls to make custom precision screw-machine parts and components for construction equipment, such as man-lifts and cherry pickers, medical equipment, defense and military parts, and aerospace equipment. The majority of the company’s work is with the hydraulic and pneumatic

industries, Malo-Kurzinski said.

She said the company is appreciative of the assistance from Cary officials to help move the project move forward quickly. She also pointed out how the village has cut its permit fees in half.

“They’re great to work with,” Malo-Kurzinski said.

Cary’s Director of Community and Economic Development Chris Stilling said the village is looking forward to the Swiss Automation construction project.

“We’re really excited about seeing a business expand in our community,” Stilling said.

With unequal wealth, prenup can help avoid problems Dear Dave, My husband died several years ago. He always worked very hard, and we did very well financially. I am now 48 and have $3.8 million in assets. I’ve found a wonderful man who is very stable and loving with a good job, and we’re considering getting married. Do you think I need a prenuptial agreement?

– Heather

Dear Heather, For years I told people never to do prenuptial agreements. I always said if you love your money more than you love your spouse, then you’re too immature and selfish to be married.

However, I’ve changed my tune on this subject a little bit recently.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey When one or two wealthy people get married, the problems that can arise usually have nothing to do with those two people. The problem is that it can invite a lot of crazy into your lives from the outside.

Whether it’s a parent, cousin or child, sometimes people start feeling a sense of entitlement when wealth is suddenly thrust into the picture.

You both sound like mature, functional people with good values.

In most cases, that’s a pretty good indication that crazy isn’t in the

immediate vicinity. Still, there’s a lot on the line. So while I would advise a prenup, you might keep an open mind to revisions somewhere down the road. Make it pretty solid and protective for the first five or 10 years. But then, after you guys have built a life together, you’ll hopefully reach a point where you’ll feel safe looking at it as all ours.

So, the only reason I’d ever suggest a prenup is when two parties are bringing really unequal amounts to the table. Yours is an extreme situation, Heather, so I’d give it some serious thought. Let him know you want to do this to protect the relationship, so that there’s never any hint that the money is a problem or will create problems. If

he’s as kind and thoughtful as you say, I think he’ll understand.

– Dave

Dear Dave, What do you think about auto club memberships such as AAA?

– Jeremy

Dear Jeremy, I’ve got nothing against AAA. But honestly, I tend to self-insure through savings for these kinds of things. I’ve probably used, or had need of, a tow truck twice in the past 20 years. When it comes to this kind of product, I always look at it from the perspective of, “Where does it leave me if I don’t sign up for their service?”

8FACES AND PLACES

Again, I don’t think AAA is a big rip-off or anything like that. It’s just a type of insurance, if you will, for which I have no need. I guess it could be a handy thing to have if you were in a situation where you were using their services a lot. But if their average customer were like that, they’d probably end up losing money on you.

Magnet designation.

Prairie Ridge student wins scholarship CRYSTAL LAKE – Jude Mariutto was recently awarded the 2014 Mark A. Elmore Architect Scholarship by the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

Mariutto, a senior at Prairie Ridge High School Jude in Crystal Mariutto Lake, wants to build the next generation of self-sustaining homes. His vision includes integrating smart design with urban planning, allowing for indoor/outdoor garden spaces that will allow families to grow their own food year round, according to a news release from the foundation.

He most recently was honored by state Rep. Barbara Wheeler for a scale model of the William G. Stratton-Thomas A. Bolger Lock and Dam system in McHenry County.

Mariutto is the first student at Prairie Ridge to qualify all four years for the State Championship in the IDEA architectural drafting board competition and receiving first- and second-place recognition. He is an honor roll student, active participant on the soccer team for three years, varsity track and helped the cross

country team qualify for the state competition. He also volunteers as youth representative at Resurrection Catholic Church and The Land Conservancy of McHenry County.

He is a black belt in Shotokan karate and is a competitivelevel cyclist, according to the news release.

The Mark A. Elmore Architect Scholarship was created in May of 2012 and named in recognition of Mark Elmore, a local architect who has been a leader for the Crystal Lake Chamber and Crystal Lake Jaycees.

Ries earns Accredited Investment Fiduciary title WALWORTH, Wis. – Jacob Ries, financial adviser at the Walworth, Wis., Exemplar Financial Network office, recently earned a designation as an Accredited Investment Fiduciary.

Jacob Ries This accreditation helps mitigate the liability of possible investment mismanagement by providing a clear knowledge of who constitutes as a fiduciary and what is required of one.

“I believe that AIFs have a great reputation in the industry for their ability to implement proper policies and procedures in investment management,” Ries said in a news release.

AMSTERDAM – As Google bowed to a European court ruling to consider users’ claims to remove embarrassing search results, the company took the first step toward preventing any more such punishing decisions – acknowledging it has an image problem in Europe.

The company was stunned in May when a court said it would have to accept Europeans’ “right to be forgotten” online and field their requests to delete links to personal information in search results. It opened the doors to such applications on Friday, and took the opportunity to offer a new, humbler message to European authorities.

“I wish we’d been more involved in a real debate in Europe,” Google CEO Larry Page said in remarks published by the Financial Times. “That’s one of the things we’ve taken from this, that we’re starting the process of really going and talking to people.”

Some would say Page’s realization comes not a moment too soon.

The company, which since its early days has put a premium on keeping a positive image, has taken a beating in Europe in recent months. Its public relations machine seemed to run completely off the rails in May, when the European Court of Justice enshrined the ‘right to be forgotten’ – a concept Google had said amounted to censor-

ship and which it had fought to undermine.

Criticism of Google’s dominance in search – it enjoys a 90 percent market share in Europe – reached a fever pitch this year, with competing search engines and major publishers attacking the company, and even consumer rights groups piling on.

Politicians, perhaps smelling a shift in public attitude, began openly using the company as a punching bag. Shortly before European elections, German economic affairs minister Sigmar Gabriel criticized the company for its tax avoidance, privacy policies, and dominance, and suggested it might need to be broken up.

And in a development that should deeply concern a company whose motto is “Don’t Be Evil,” some European online freedoms groups are now identifying it as public enemy No. 1.

That has boosted the case for the European Commission, the EU’s executive, to demand Google change the way it displays its search results to allow for greater competition. If the two can’t reach a compromise deal, Google could face fines worth billions of dollars, as Microsoft did in the 2000s.

Anti-Google sentiment used to be an “edge phenomenon,” said Hans de Zwart of Bits of Freedom, a Dutch digital rights group. “Now it’s slowly moving toward the core,” he said. “More and more people are feeling this.”

When the New Job Is a Letdown ed versus what the reality of your day-to-day at the company is.

By Caroline Levchuck,

Speak with Your Supervisor Starting a new job can be exciting, nerve-racking and even scary.

Unfortunately, it can also be disappointing. Perhaps you’re being asked to work too many hours.

Maybe you’re not receiving any training. Or, worse yet, the job you accepted doesn’t look anything like the job you’re actually doing.

As a new hire, what should you do when a new job isn’t what you thought it would be? Use these tips to navigate the rough waters in your first weeks.

Don’t Panic If things aren’t going at all as you’d planned in your first few days or weeks in a new position, your instinct may be to hit the panic button and quit or begin a covert job search. Resist the urge to make a dramatic decision or rush to judgment. Rather, analyze what’s making you feel like you’ve been duped. Create a document listing what you were told or had expect-

Talent retention is an issue these days, and your manager likely doesn’t want to be short-staffed.

Debbi Titlebaum, the human resources director for Zingy, a mobile media company, advises opening a dialogue with a manager. She suggests going to your boss and saying, “I’ve only been here for a few weeks and it’s not what I was expecting. Can we talk about what my responsibilities are and how we can change them to include more of what we agreed upon?”

If your boss is unable or unwilling to help you, you should then seek advice from human resources.

HR Is There to Help No one understands how difficult it is to find talented employees better than a human resources professional -- which gives you a valuable and knowledgeable ally in your plight. Titlebaum, who has worked in human resources

Are long hours conflicting with childcare? Ask about flextime. If you need more training, find out how you can get that. Is a position less glamorous than you thought?

Ask for some additional, more compelling responsibilities.

If the position itself remains a bust despite everyone’s best efforts, you may still have a future at the company. “If an employer is dealing with a good employee, they are going to want to hold onto her,” Titlebaum says. “Depending on the size of the company, they may be able to use her in another capacity.”

Move On to Another Opportunity Sometimes when a job isn’t what you thought it would be, leaving may be your only option. If this is true, find a new job first to avoid a resume gap. Also, treat your

employer with respect and professional courtesy (even if you weren’t treated that way) when leaving, so you don’t burn any bridges.

To avoid a similar situation in the future, Titlebaum suggests always requesting a comprehensive job description before accepting an offer. “A written job description ensures that you and your supervisor know what your responsibilities will be,” she says. And, be sure to ask your future manager to describe a typical workday and work week so that you have a better understanding of what your daily professional life will be like.

Questions? Email askmrkia@gmail.com

Ring of truth to ‘mangagement’ Is it true there is a growing trend for men to wear an engagement ring? – K.N., Memphis, Tennessee The idea of men wearing an engagement ring has started in the United States only recently, while in other parts of the world, it is common practice. Some have been calling the male engagement ring a “mangagement” ring, a marriage of the words “man” and “engagement.” From what limited information is available, a small plain band is the most popular style. The ring is usually worn on the ring finger and removed the day of the wedding, though some men opt to wear both rings.

If you have an opinion on men’s engagement rings, let me know.

As for me, if I were to get engaged, I’d opt for such a ring. I’d wear it on my left hand and remove it on my wedding day.

I might wear my engagement ring on a chain around my neck, along with my other medals, including the Virgin Mary and a Celtic cross.

LET’S LEARN ENGLISH: In the U.K., they say “diversion”; in America, we say “detour.” A “thumb tack” is called a “drawing pin” in the U.K.

Quite by accident, I saw a portion of an old Western TV show called “Wagon Train.”

Robert Horton was a true hunk of a man. Is he still alive? As I recall, he left the show or was released. – G.P.B., Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania Yes, he is still alive. He’ll be 90 on July 29; he and his wife live in the Los Angeles suburbs. Horton made dozens of appearances in movies, TV shows and plays. He is best known for playing Flint McCullough in “Wagon Train” from 1957 to 1962. He left the series to pursue a career in musical theater. About five years ago, his publicist announced he would no longer make public appearances.

What is “eggy bread”? I heard the term many years ago, but I no longer recall where. – J.G.M., Fresno, California CNN ranked eggy bread as one of the world’s 50 best-tasting foods. In this part of the world, we know it as French toast.

French toast has been around for a long time; according to some food historians, it was eaten as early as the 4th or 5th century.

If you are wondering what they call French toast in France, it’s “pain perdu,” meaning “lost bread.” It got that name because it was a way to reclaim stale – or “lost” – bread.

As a kid, my favorite candy bar was

Bob Denver

DID YOU KNOW? The first name of Bob Denver’s character Gilligan from “Gilligan’s Island” was Willy.

PayDay. By the time I got into high school, I lost my sweet tooth and never regained it.

From time to time I look at the candy offerings at store checkouts, but I never see my old favorite. Is it still being made? – W.L., Frankfort, Kentucky The PayDay candy bar was created and introduced by Frank Martoccio in 1932. In 1967, the Martoccio family sold the business.

The manufacturing rights changed hands several times over the next decades until 1996, when it was acquired by the Hershey Co. According to candy folklore, Martoccio was at a loss for a name of his new confectionery delight. An employee suggested that since the day was payday, he should name it in honor of the day.

The boss liked it, and so did millions of customers.

Have you ever heard of Romaine punch?

I assume it does not contain any Romaine lettuce. – Y.T., San Angelo, Texas Your assumption is correct. Punch Romaine is a rum-spiked shaved-ice palate cleanser that is blended with citrus, champagne, ice and sometimes egg whites for foam.

Famed French chef Georges Auguste Escoffier created the original recipe, which was essentially a granita – a semi-frozen dessert.

What is so special about punch Romaine is that it was served on the final first-class dinner menu aboard the Titanic.

Who is the super-hot actress who plays Jan on the Toyota commercials? – C.F., Lompoc, California Her name is Laurel Coppock. Coppock resides in Los Angeles, and is a member of the Groundlings comedy troupe.

Her résumé also includes appearances

in several TV shows, including “Arrested Development” and “2 Broke Girls.”

I think with the success of the Toyota commercials, we will see a lot more of her in the future, and there will be more biographical information about her to read.

From time to time, I see a production card after a TV broadcast with two men sitting on the beach alongside a red-and-white striped cabana. One is wearing a tight black swim cap the other says, “That’s some bad hat, Harry.” I don’t get it. – M.H., Nashua, New Hampshire You and possibly a few million TV viewers. The vanity card is for the production company Bad Hat Harry Productions, which was started by Bryan Singer. Singer is best known for directing “The Usual Suspects” and the “X-Men” films.

The name of the company is taken from a scene in the 1975 film “Jaws.”

Police Chief Brody, played by Roy Scheider, comments on the swim cap worn by an elderly swimmer, “That some bad hat, Harry.” You described the vanity card well, but you missed one important feature: In the water is a shark’s fin.

During a drive while out of state, I saw a sign John’s Mere. What is John’s Mere? – B.Z., Philadelphia, Mississippi A “mere” is a small lake, pond or marsh, so it must be one owned by someone named John.

What is the shortest word in English containing all five main vowels? – M.R., Rock Hill, South Carolina It’s “eunoia,” which means, among other things, “well mind” or “beautiful thinking.”

There seem to be a lot of AAMCO Transmission repair shops. How many? What does the name mean? – C.C., Portland, Maine Anthony A. Martino and Robert Morgan founded AAMCO Transmissions in 1963.

Martino used the first letter of each of his names to form the name AAMCO – and MAACO, which he co-founded in 1972. There are about 850 franchises across America. AAMCO was sold in 2006 to American Capital, the owner of Cottman Transmission.

Anthony A. Martino and Daniel I. Rhode founded MAACO Collision Repair & Auto Painting in 1972. In 2008, MAACO was sold to the holding company of Meineke Car Care Centers.

Quinoa Pilaf with Chickpeas, Feta and Sun-dried Tomatoes Photo provided

You’re doing it wrong: quinoa

By L.V. ANDERSON Slate

not to overdo it with the more powerful herbs.

QUINOA PILAF WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES Yield: 4 to 6 servings Time: About 1 hour 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 leek, white and light green parts only, chopped Salt and black pepper 1 1/2 cups quinoa 1/2 cup roughly chopped sundried tomatoes 1/2 cup drained cooked chickpeas 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill Put the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the leek and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add the quinoa and stir until it dries out and begins to stick together, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, the chickpeas and 3 cups of water. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, then cover the pot and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers gently. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid and is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the feta and dill, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. (Store leftover quinoa pilaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.)

NEW YORK – Quinoa has been described as a “superfood,” “miracle grain,” “powerhouse seed.”

The key to making quinoa taste good is to add good-tasting things to it.

There’s only so much you can do to enhance quinoa’s natural flavor and texture: Use the right amount of water, don’t cook it too long, don’t forget the salt, etc.

Sautéing the seeds in oil or butter before you add water is always a good idea, but the most important thing is what delicious things you add to flavor the quinoa.

Here is a blueprint for making a good quinoa pilaf.

First you need an allium.

Onion, scallion, shallot, leek or garlic will do. Slice or chop it and cook it in oil or butter until it’s soft.

Then, add the quinoa, toast it in the oil for a few minutes, and throw in some nuts or beans along with some dried fruit. The dried fruit does not have to be a super-sugary dried fruit, but a little sweetness to counterbalance savory flavors is always nice.

After you’ve added water and cooked the grains thoroughly, turn off the heat and toss in some cheese and fresh herbs. For pilafs, I prefer a crumbly cheese, such as feta, ricotta salata or gorgonzola. As for herbs, anything goes. Be careful

of some of their favorite food or beverages at a nominal cost of $1 to $2. Walk block to block or ride the Trolley for a taste sampling from each participant. Attendees also can stop in and shop the downtown shops and businesses along the way. There also will be demonstrations by The Bike Haven and shows in Veterans Memorial Park.

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press

The Washington Post / Linda Wade Kiang

Interior designer Dana Tydings says to stay away from colored mats when framing artwork; they will compete with the image you are trying to display.

Frame of reference for displaying art

By HARRIET EDLESON Special To The Washington Post How you frame art, whether it be posters, photographs or a rare oil painting, can enhance the look of your home. Details matter. Just ask Mark Leithauser, senior curator and director of design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Day in and day out, he oversees the design of exhibits and presentation of the great works on display at the gallery. He analyzes how to make a work of art look its best, from the color of the exhibition walls to the kind of frame or choice of mat and frame.

It’s the same role individuals play when deciding how to display art in their homes.

“Display of art is subjective,” Leithauser said, unless there is historical precedent for it.

The work of art is paramount. When it comes to displaying art, he said, “There is no right or wrong way to do it.” But “you always think about the work of art.

“Most people have prints, drawings – things with mats and frames,” he said. “You start with your object, with what you own. You want the work of art to be the strongest possible thing.”

If you use a frame “that is stronger than the work of art, then you’ve detracted from the work of art.” The purpose of the frame is “to enhance it.”

Contrary to what many people believe, Leithauser

said, “There is no neutral color. ... Gray, black, white.

They’re all making a statement. We never use white like the stark white of this paper,” he said, pointing to a document on his desk.

“Paintings get little cracks in them as they get older. They look grungy, a little bit sad, a little bit dirty” next to a stark white. “They pop on a gray much better than on a stark, stark white.”

What does Leithauser hang in his own home? “So much stuff,” he said, pausing as if to signal he doesn’t want to spend time talking about his “quirky” little house in Washington. An artist himself, he has exhibited at galleries in New York and Washington as well as at the National Gallery of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the National Museum of American Art and the Library of Congress. He collects frames and he has a “salon hang,” a solution for anyone “owning too many pictures and wanting to see them all.”

A salon hang or a salon-style hang typically starts with the smaller works hung at the lowest level, and larger and larger works hung as you move up the wall. It works especially well in houses with high ceilings. (Nine feet is the minimum.) “That’s the trickiest thing.” It can have as many as five levels of artwork.

It’s “not being a spartan,” he concedes, with a glint in his eye. “You live with what you like.”

The bracelet is ubiquitous: Small gemstones or silver beads are woven with thread between two lengths of leather cording, and the finished piece wraps around the wrist three to five times.

The mixture of earthy and bling has made it a top seller for Chan Luu, who is credited among many jewelry artists with originating the design. It’s also made her handmade bracelets widely copied.

They are easy to duplicate, so Chan Luu Wrap Bracelets, which sell for $170 to more than $300 at her online shop and in high-end catalogs such as Sundance, also are a fast, do-it-yourself project offered in bead shops and online tutorials. (The Potomac Bead Co.’s YouTube link takes little more than 4 minutes; Beadaholique’s is an easy-to-follow 15 minutes.)

Luu does pursue counterfeiters – those knocking off her bracelets and selling them as genuine Chan Luu products – but she’s unfazed about the crafters who post detailed instructions online, and the thousands of DIYers who copiously copy “Chan Luu-style” bracelets.

“I’ve been in the fashion business long enough. It’s part of the game,” said Luu, who lives in Los Angeles and has designed jewelry, accessories and clothing for more than 15 years. “Most of the time we think it’s a flattering thing. At times, it’s annoying. People use my name to sell their merchandise, and that’s not right.”

AP photo / Chan Luu Inc.

The handmade leather wrap bracelet that goes a few times around the wrist, decorated with small gemstones or silver beads, is a simple design that has been a top seller for Chan Luu. What is this bracelet’s charm?

It’s easy to learn, simple to make, and the supplies – leather cording, thread, beads, a needle – don’t need to cost much (costlier beads equal a costlier project).

And frankly, when bracelets retail for hundreds of dollars, crafters are driven to make it themselves, said Allie Buchman, co-owner with her husband, Nathan, of Potomac Bead Co., based in Hagerstown, Maryland.

“The Chan Luu style is very easy and very friendly,” Buchman said. “We can advertise (a class) and say, ‘Yeah, you can make one for $10.’”

Bead shops promote the wrap bracelet because it sells beads – several hundred, depending on how many times the bracelet wraps and the size of the beads, Buchman said.

Embrace the OUTDOORS Afraid to camp? Nothing really to fear but fear itself

By SOLVEJ SCHOU The Associated Press PINNACLES NATIONAL PARK, Calif. – Growing up in Los Angeles, I loved camping.

My family and I regularly escaped the city’s concrete sprawl for California’s wilder edges, driving deep into the desert or high up into the mountains. We’d set up a tent and plunk down sleeping bags, each trip a dusty, if slightly smelly, adventure.

Then something changed. As an adult, I stopped camping. Though still an avid nature-lover and hiker, I didn’t want to abandon the modern perks of home – roof, electricity, bed! – or similarly equipped hotels.

This year I decided to break that 15-year camping drought. I joined my stepmother, sister, aunt, uncle and Danish father, who has averaged three camping trips a year since he moved to California in 1977, on a three-day camping excursion in Pinnacles National Park, south of San Jose. The experience turned out fun, freeing and easier than I thought it would be.

Here are some things you might be worried about when it comes to camping, along with ways to cope.

SLEEPING Forgoing a comfy mattress for a sleeping bag may not sound appealing, but there are ways to lessen the ick. Driving to a campground versus hiking in means you can stuff your vehicle with provisions – including a tent you can stand up in for maximum comfort.

The taller the entrance to your tent, the less it affects your back. Then make sure to have a self-inflating mattress, such as a Therm-a-Rest, or an air mattress you can inflate with a pump. Slip it under your sleeping bag to avoid the sleepless scenes from “The Princess and the Pea.” Another option is a collapsible camp cot.

Camping in spring and summer means using lighter rectangular sleeping bags stuffed with synthetic

material. When it’s cold, go with a down-filled mummy-shaped sleeping bag that cinches around your face. I also found bringing a bedroom pillow helped. It smelled and felt like home.

UNPLUGGING These days some commercially operated campgrounds offer Internet access. But if you’re heading to wilderness-type parks, depending on location, you may not even have cellphone service.

You can always bring an external battery pack and angrily play Candy Crush for hours, but that really defeats the purpose of being outdoors.

I did bring my excellent Jackery Fit portable battery pack, but only to make sure my iPhone was charged enough to take photos during hikes into Pinnacles’ winding mountain caves.

Channel the great naturalist Henry David Thoreau, and remember that the Internet will still be there later.

Play cards, eat, drink, breathe in fresh air, hike, build a campfire and enjoy the company of others – in person instead of online.

CRITTERS You love food, and so do animals, including squirrels and bears, whose sense of smell overshadows ours and who may find your fragrant dinner supplies irresistible.

Just remember: They want your food, not you.

Never leave trash, toiletries, dirty dishes, food or drinks unattended.

Don’t leave trash and open containers in your car or around the campsite.

Look for metal lockers to store trash and food onsite. Keep your tent zipped up, and keep in mind that bugs and birds also enjoy nibbling on half-eaten peanut butter sandwiches, so don’t give them the chance.

As for ticks and mosquitoes, insect repellent works. For major bug phobias or when biting insects are thick, outdoor supply stores and websites sell inexpensive, lightweight mesh

Tents are pitched at a campground at Yosemite National Park in California. The thought of camping out can be daunting, but packing a few strategically chosen items, such as an inflatable mattress and food that’s easy to grill, can reduce the ick factor. jackets that you can zip yourself into – including your hands and face if need be.

BATHROOMS AND ELECTRICITY You can live without electricity, a full-length mirror and private bathrooms without sacrificing hygiene or general spiffiness.

Most developed tent campgrounds you can drive to have communal bathrooms with running drinking water, sinks and showers, but check in advance. Pretend you’re at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, strap on a floppy hat and embrace a windswept, natural look.

Try gas- or battery-powered lanterns for preparing food and hanging out in the evening. A headlamp works well for midnight bathroom runs and as a makeshift night-light hung in a tent.

MEALS Leaving your smoothie blender home doesn’t mean you can’t have delicious food while camping.

Get a decently sized cooler that can keep your food cold for a few days before the ice needs to be changed out, and a small basin to wash dishes.

Bring a propane gas-powered camp stove with one or two burners.

In campgrounds with grills, you can fire-roast anything from portobello mushrooms to zucchini.

At night my family and I made gooey s’mores.

“Approach camping as an adventure with possibilities of new experiences of fun, and the possibility of challenges,” my dad told me. “Camping gives you a sense of togetherness in a natural environment you’re not usually in, that you end up enjoying together.”

Dog Days McBark Park

STORY BY JAMI KUNZER

JKUNZER@ SHAWMEDIA.COM

KGRILLOT@ SHAWMEDIA.COM

Eevie, a Yorkiepoo, is cuddled by her owners Emily Medina and Zach Saran, both of Harvard, at the new Bull Valley Dog Park.

Dog parks in high demand

A

day at a dog park is a tail-wagging, tongue-hanging-in-the-breeze sort of day for a dog.

When McHenry City Administrator Derik Morefield brings his pug beagle mix Ellie to the new McBark Park in McHenry about once a week, she transforms.

“She weighs about 25 pounds,” Morefield said. “She thinks she’s a 100-pound Husky when she’s out there.”

The dog park is the place to be – for both the dogs and their owners.

Often on residents’ wish lists, dog parks are in high demand in communities throughout McHenry County, where two new parks hosted grand openings in the past couple of months.

Joining Hound Town Dog Park in Crystal Lake and Bark Park in Lake in the Hills are McHenry’s roughly 4-acre McBark Park, near Kohl’s Department Store on Route 31, and the new 7-acre Bull Valley Dog Park.

The concept behind them is simple.

“To be able to have a spot like that where they can run around in is fun,” Morefield TOP: Buddy the Golden Retriever runs through the new Bull Valley Dog Park. ABOVE: Linda and Dennis Durbin of Woodstock watch their dog Nilla at the new Bull Valley Dog Park. said.

“Not everybody has a 3- to 5-acre yard that’s contained with a fence where they can let their dog run,” he said. “Besides the exercise component, it allows social interaction with other dogs.”

Fast-paced, jumpy and often sloppy interaction.

Linda Durbin’s 6-year-old Nilla, a mixed breed, has gone almost daily to Bull Valley’s new park, at the corner of Country Club and Bull Valley roads.

Unless it’s wet, said Durbin of Woodstock. Before Bull Valley’s park opened, Durbin would go to the Lake in the Hills park, but not as often because of the distance.

“It’s just so she can run free and have fun for a while,” Durbin said. “After we go, she’s much better behaved.

“I think it’s great. It gives people a chance to let their dogs loose to run and play. When you live in town, you don’t always have the space to do that.”

Like McHenry, Bull Valley added its park late last year, but hosted a grand opening when the weather turned warmer this year. Bull Valley celebrated its park in early May, while McHenry hosted an event in late April.

Both openings drew hundreds of pet owners and their frolicking dogs.

“It seems like everyone needs one now,” Bull Valley Trustee Emily Berendt said of the dog park demand. “Or they can come to ours.”

As the liaison to the village’s parks department, Berendt headed up the efforts to bring a dog park to town. She’s not a dog owner herself, but has seen firsthand how much people enjoy them.

And from a town’s standpoint, they don’t have to be elaborate.

“It’s basically just a field with a fence around it,” Berendt said. “We’re hoping eventually to get some toys and equipment in there for dogs.”

Bull Valley’s park came about through an agreement with the City of Woodstock, which contributed funds to put up fences and such. Because of this, Woodstock’s residents pay the Bull Valley resident rate of $65 for an annual

permit. Nonresidents pay $130.

The plan was to harvest and sell off enough hay on the roughly 51 acres of savanna and farmland where the park sits to create the dog park, but a $10,000 Green Region grant came through as the needed start-up money, Berendt said.

“The whole point is to make it as selfsufficient as possible,” she said.

Those who want to use the park are asked to buy the permits, which basically gives them stickers for their cars, and the park can be accessed at any time.

“It’s on the honor system,” Berendt said.

So far, the village has sold about 90 permits.

“We’re getting good feedback,” Berendt said. “People are liking it.”

In McHenry, a sponsorship by Gary Lang Subaru allowed the city to cut the dog park fees substantially. Originally, residents paid $75 for an annual pass, while nonresidents paid $125.

With Gary Lang Subaru providing $15,000 a year for park upkeep, starting Sept. 1, the annual fees will be reduced to $15 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. They also must pay a $10 fee for each additional dog.

Along with space to run, McBark Park provides water fountains for both humans and canines, waste bag dispensers, a gazebo shelter and a portable toilet, Morefield said.

Along with showing proof of vaccinations, users are asked to take their dogs out if any aggressive behavior is shown.

“The dog should be responsive to its name, so that if something starts to happen, you can call your dog,” Morefield said. “Obviously, the humans have to be on site so they can police their behavior. ... If it’s a bad situation, you either have to take your dog out or we’ll ask you to not be a part of the park.”

So far, so good, he said.

Same goes for Bull Valley.

“Most people clean up after their dog, which is great,” Durbin said. “I think more people need to join. It benefits the dogs and the people.”

Location: Just north of the Kohl’s Department Store on Route 31 in McHenry.

Featuring: A roughly 4-acre park featuring shade, a large running area for dogs, onsite parking and running water.

Cost: An annual pass is now $25 for residents and $40 for nonresidents (prorated based on the fact that fees for the dog park are for one calendar year from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31).

Beginning Sept. 1, the passes will be available for annual renewal at a rate of $15 a resident and $25 a non-resident.

Users are given key card passes to enter the locked park.

Information: 815-363-2160 or www. ci.mchenry.il.us.

Bull Valley Dog Park Location: On the northwest corner of Bull Valley and Country Club roads in Bull Valley.

Featuring: Picnic tables and nearly 7 acres of fenced-in open field with plans to eventually add toys and dog equipment.

Cost: Annual permits cost $65 for residents of Bull Valley and Woodstock and $130 for nonresidents.

Information: 815-459-4833 or www. villageofbullvalley.org

Hound Town Location: Lippold Park, just west of Route 14 on Route 176, Crystal Lake.

Featuring: A 3-acre, fenced-in park where dogs can socialize and run off leash. Open year-round, dawn to dusk.

Cost: Annual rate is $30 for residents ($5 each additional dog) and $45 for nonresidents ($10 each additional dog).

Hound Town keys are half-price after Labor Day. Information: 815-459-0680 or www.crystallakeparks.org

Bark Park Location: On Haligus Road, just across from Sunset Park, Lake in the Hills Featuring: A 10-acre park featuring shade, a large running area, onsite parking and running water.

Cost: Annual permits are $40 a resident ($6 for each additional dog) and $60 for nonresidents ( $10 each additional dog). Half price for Lake in the Hills residents over 65 years old.

Lennon art, poems to be auctioned The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Whimsical drawings, poems and prose created by John Lennon for his acclaimed books “In His Own Write” and “A Spaniard in the Works” are coming to auction.

The books’ British publisher, Tom Maschler, has owned the material for a half century and is offering it for sale at Sotheby’s on Wednesday. It is the largest private collection of Lennon’s work to come to the market, the auction house said.

Among the 89-piece collection’s highlights is a cartoon of a boy with six birds that appeared in “A Spaniard in the Works,” published in 1965.

The drawing was used 30 years later as the cover for the Beatles’ release “Free as a Bird,” written by Lennon in 1977.

Twenty-five years after the group’s breakup and 15 years after Lennon’s death, the song was released as a single with additional instrumentation and vocals from the other

three band members. The cartoon has a pre-sale estimate of $12,000 to $15,000.

A nine-page manuscript, a Sherlock Holmes parody titled “The Singularge Experience of Miss Anne Duffield,” is estimated to bring $50,000 to $70,000.

“The Fat Budgie,” a beloved nonsense poem, could fetch between $25,000 and $35,000.

Before becoming famous as a musician, Lennon had trained as an artist at the Liverpool School of Art. Maschler, who worked with Lennon on the two books while literary director at Jonathan Cape publishers, called the late singer a man of “extraordinary talent and imagination.”

But he said in a statement that Lennon’s art has been underrated and he hoped that the auction “will redress the balance.”

Maschler has worked with other famous authors, including Tom Wolfe, Edward Albee, Philip Roth and Salman Rushdie.

“In His Own Write” is a collection of 31 short stories and poems, full of puns and spelling errors, published in 1964.

It was a big hit with reviewers who compared Lennon to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear.

A year later, “A Spaniard in the Works” was published, containing more humorous and nonsensical stories.

The title is a pun on the British term “a spanner in the works,” similar to the American expression “a monkey wrench in the works.”

Lennon once told the BBC his stories were short because he typed slowly, “I couldn’t be bothered going on.”

These undated photos provided

by Sotheby’s show untitled ink drawings by John Lennon. The drawings are part of an 89-piece collection of Lennon’s original whimsical drawings, poems and prose for his books “In His Own Write” and “A Spaniard in the Works” that will be auctioned in New York on Wednesday.

June Birthstone - PearlS 2

By Karly Bulinski

The pearl forms when an irritant, such as a small parasite or a grain of sand, lodges in the flesh of an oyster, mussel or clam. Because of this irritant, a substance called“nacre”starts to form around it. Over several years, the layers of nacre start to build up around the irritant creating a beautiful pearl. Not all pearls are made in nature (called freshwater pearls), laboratories began a process of their own to make pearls by placing a piece of shell or bead in the clam to stimulate the production of nacre (called cultured pearls). Natural pearls are found in the Persian Golf as well as in the waters off Japan, Australia, Panama,Venezuela and California. They come in a variety of colors including pure white, pink, yellow, gray and black. They also come in many different shapes and sizes.

The pearl is the symbol of woman’s perfect beauty. It is believed that chronic headaches and migraines can be alleviated or completely cured by wearing a pearl necklace directly on the skin. Pearls also reduce allergies. A pearl necklace is believed to warn sensitive people of imminent disaster. Psychologically, pearl promote wisdom and commitment well into old age. They are considered to be a symbol of purity and are often given to celebrate a marriage or the birth of a child. The pearl is the accepted gemstone for the 30th wedding anniversary.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Five years after her musical breakthrough, Susan Boyle says she’s feeling confident and comfortable – and ready to launch her first U.S. tour.

The 53-year-old will hit the road in October on a 21-date trek. Boyle said she hadn’t been ready to take on the tour after her pop culture moment in 2009, but now she’s more relaxed and ready to perform.

“I didn’t have the confidence. I didn’t have the right experience, but I feel more ready now, and I really can’t wait,” she said in a phone interview this week from her home in Scotland.

Boyle was chipper and excited when talking about her American tour, which she said will include “a few surprises.” The tour kicks off Oct. 8 in San Diego; tickets go on sale June 9.

She said the tour is a “thank you” to fans. She’s released an album each year since she captivated the world when she sang “I Dreamed a Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009. She’s sold more than 14 million records worldwide.

“The adaptation at first wasn’t very easy because you have to get used to it at first,” she said of learning to deal with fame. “It’s like a baby learning to walk really.

But once ... you see the people embrace you, it becomes

easier.”

Boyle revealed last year that she had been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. She said she’s healthy and feeling better than ever.

“Everything is fine. I’ve never felt better. I’m ready to go,” she said.

Boyle’s tour, which includes performances in Sacramento, California, Phoenix and Atlanta, will wrap Nov. 6 in Jacksonville, Florida.

“I like to be kept busy, but I’d like to see some of the country as well. And I’ll be traveling by bus anyway, so I’ll see most of the country anyway,” she said.

Boyle said her tour will include some new material.

She’s completed her sixth album, due out this year, which heads in a “jazzy blues direction.”

Outside of music, Boyle said she’s interested in acting after making her bigscreen debut in the holiday movie “The Christmas Candle.”

“I haven’t done much acting before ... so it felt a bit strange to begin with.

But once you get used to it, it becomes fun and you start to enjoy yourself,” she said.

“I’d like to balance the books a bit – I’d like to do a bit of singing and a bit of acting.”

Would she consider Broadway?

“The sky’s the limit. I’m open to offers,” she said, laughing.

Jeanne Phillips

Nonbelievers walk fine line in religious family Dear Abby: My husband, “Mike,” and I are young newlyweds and adjusting to our new life quite well.

However, while we both come from deeply religious families, we are both nonbelievers, which has caused some strife within the family.

Mike has several nieces and nephews (ages 4 to 9) who have asked us repeatedly why we don’t go to church with them, since the whole family attends together.

Their mother has made it clear that they do not want the children knowing there is another option besides Christianity, and I understand, since their faith is so important to them. But I don’t want to lie to the kids or ignore their questions.

Is there a tactful way to answer their questions without stepping on toes? – Never on Sunday

Dear Never: You could respond by saying, “Your uncle and I have other plans.” And if the kids ask what they are, tell them what you plan to do that day. If they ask why you don’t come to church like they do, tell them that because they are children they need to learn about their religion. When they are adults, they can choose to go – or not.

While I respect your in-laws’ desire to practice their faith, I think it is unrealistic to try to keep children in the dark because as soon as they hit school – unless they are homeschooled or in a church-run school – they are going to meet other kids who worship differently or not at all.

Dear Abby: I am a male victim of domestic violence. I was traumatized for five years at the hands of my ex. I suf-

fered through name-calling, physical and sexual abuse. Once, when she was upset, she hit me with her car and dragged me across our parking lot.

I tried several times to leave only to find that in my community there was no help for men in situations like mine. There are women’s shelters everywhere, but none that cater to men and their children. I ended up having to return home, and things just got worse.

I finally left with the shirt on my back and a few belongings. Because I couldn’t find help, I slept on the street.

I am now a survivor and attending school to become a social worker. I have been trying to raise awareness of men as abuse victims, but it’s an uphill battle. Why? – Empowered in

Central Wisconsin

Dear Empowered: It’s probably because of outdated gender stereotypes and lack of awareness by the law enforcement in your community that women as well as men can be psychopaths.

When your wife ran you down in the parking lot, she should have wound up behind bars, assuming the police were called.

While female-on-male domestic violence is reported less often than male-on-female violence, it does happen, as anyone who reads my column regularly knows.

Men who need help should call the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women – the toll-free number is 888743-5754 – because help is available.

Hidden emotional pain fuels girl’s addiction Ever since she was a young girl, there was always an aura of excitement, danger, trouble, fun and most of all drama around “Kelly.”

When most kids wanted a few friends over for their birthday party, she wanted to take 50 kids to Disney World and threw a fit when her Mom explained that it couldn’t happen.

She had lots of friends, but they came and went because many couldn’t take the intensity and sometimes the painful ups and downs that came with the relationship.

One day you were her best friend, and the next you were being ostracized because of

some perceived slight.

Her Mom had married a series of alcoholics, and after the last one gambled away all their savings, she decided to give up on the institution of marriage and focus on work and the three girls.

The problem was that quite a bit of emotional damage had been done that was now coming to the surface, particularly in “Kelly’s” behavior.

The therapy started by seventh grade, the drugs started soon after and the blatant defiance soon after that.

“Kelly” started cutting herself in eighth grade, and in desperation her Mom sent

her to Ohio to live with her aunt. Things got better for a time, but soon “Kelly” started drinking and hanging with older boys and got in trouble in Ohio.

Her aunt was no dummy, saw the train coming down the tracks and delivered “Kelly” to her Mom’s within a week of the incident.

Back in therapy and this time with a psychiatrist’s oversight, “Kelly” started the medication routine and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

The medication helped, but the drugs and alcohol continued. During her therapy, she disclosed that there had

been some incidents of physical abuse by her biological father when she was in grade school that no one, including her Mom, knew about.

Clearly, some of “Kelly’s” emotional roller-coaster had started there. She never knew how to understand the abuse and hid it from her Mom, with the idea that if she told, her Mom would end the marriage.

In some irrational way, “Kelly” had taken the weight of the divorce even though she was assured that it had nothing to do with her.

With little guidance on how to handle emotions, she found the short-term assis-

tance of drugs and alcohol.

With the help of her genetics, she found her way to addiction by her junior year in high school.

Even knowing her issues, good therapy and medication, her addiction took control and it wasn’t until after her second rehab that “Kelly” finally sobered up and started to face the music.

She learned how to live in the solution instead of the drama.

RATED: PG for sequences of fantasy action and violence, including frightening images.

TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes VERDICT: Maybe it’s too soon to say the tide has shifted definitively. But it’s certainly been a unique time for fairy-tale villains. After hundreds of years of moral clarity, suddenly we’re getting a new look at these evil creatures, who are actually turning out to be complex beings, and not that bad at all. Really, they’ve just been misunderstood. (And, by the way, those charming princes?

Highly overrated.) The most obvious recent example is “Frozen,” the animated Disney blockbuster that showed us how the Snow Queen, long portrayed as an icy-hearted villain, was actually a tragic victim of circumstance, with a pure and loving heart. And now we have “Maleficent,” which tells us that one of the most evil characters in all of pop culture is equally vulnerable and misunderstood. Plus, she’s gorgeous.

Duh. She’s Angelina Jolie. All this is a rather seismic development in fairytale-dom. There are numerous versions of “Sleeping Beauty,” stemming back even before Charles Perrault’s from 1697, but the fairy who casts an angry spell on the baby princess, dooming her to prick her finger, has always been, well, just nasty. But now, 55 years after Disney introduced the character named Maleficent in its 1959 classic film – and colored her skin an eerie green – the studio is back with a live-action (not to mention 3D) Maleficent who’s more superheroine than evil fairy. Think Maleficent by way of Lara Croft. Director Robert Stromberg and screenwriter Linda Woolverton take us back to the fairy’s youth to better understand her. One day she meets a young man from that other, darker world, where humans live. The two form a strong bond. But the ugliest human emotions – jealousy and ambition – will intervene. Young Stefan will grow into the power-hungry older Stefan (the wild-eyed South African actor Sharlto Copley.) And his stunning betrayal of Maleficent will instantly harden her. Alas, the story’s still

LOCAL SHOWTIMES all about a guy, in the end. But we digress. “Maleficent” is surely targeted to the same audience – young and female – which has so lovingly embraced “Frozen” and its appealing message of female solidarity and empowerment. But “Frozen” felt clever, charming, and fresh. “Maleficent,” less so. Part of this is due, paradoxically, to Jolie’s star wattage.

Don’t get us wrong: she’s the best thing about the movie, and always worth watching. But it blunts the effectiveness of the narrative if we can never quite believe Maleficent is bad. And frankly, the other characters are simply not that interesting.

The best scenes Aurora has, in fact, are when she’s a gurgling baby and then, adorably, a toddler, played by none other than 5-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. In the end, “Maleficent” is fun for its appealing visuals and for watching Jolie. But that’s not enough to make the whole film interesting. As the minutes tick by, you might even start feeling a bit like Sleeping Beauty herself comes to feel: drowsy.– The

RATED: R for strong crude and sexual content, language throughout, some violence and drug material TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: Seth MacFarlane might’ve picked a safer place to make his lead-acting debut than “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” his directorial follow-up to 2012’s surprisingly successful “Ted.” The marketplace doesn’t seem to be crying out for Westerns, after all – be they earnest revivals, satires, or genre hybrids involving extra-terrestrials – and the undeniably of-his-moment MacFarlane is, as the script indirectly admits, a strange fit for the genre.

Stocking the supporting cast with top-drawer talent, he gives most of his co-stars little to do besides attract our attention on movie posters. His 1880s sheep farmer Albert Stark talks like someone born in and transplanted from the

20th century. “We live in a terrible place and time,” Albert tells friends Edward (Giovanni Ribisi) and Ruth (Sarah Silverman), assessing his surroundings as if seeing medical and social realities through our eyes.

Dumped by his longtime sweetheart Louise (Amanda Seyfried), Albert is about ready to leave town when he meets Anna (Charlize Theron), a newcomer who appreciates his gentle personality in a way locals don’t. Perhaps that’s because she’s secretly betrothed to the meanest cuss in these parts, a bandit called

Classic Cinemas Woodstock – 11:50 Clinch (Liam Neeson), who has sent her here to hide out while he dodges the law for a spell. While Albert frets about Louise’s new romance with fancy-pants shopkeeper Foy (Neil Patrick Harris, whose vain moustache-tonic merchant is a reliable laugh-getter), Anna takes an inexplicable interest in helping him stand up for himself. In a rare display of nerve, Albert challenges Foy to a duel; as Anna offers him the gunslinger lessons that will inevitably lead to love, the film’s supporting cast all but vanishes from the film.

The romance plot could hardly be more familiar, but at least it plays out against a landscape so dramatic one almost suspects the filmmakers composited a few extra sandstone formations into Monument Valley.

Theron carries almost all the weight here. The film’s uneven jokes appear to have breezed through a very forgiving editing process. The approach leads to a nearly two-hour running time that looks indulgent given how much invention “Blazing Saddles” packed into an hour-and-a-half.–
