CHICAGO – It may be a
man’s world, as the saying
goes, but lesbians seem to
have an easier time living in
it than gay men do.
High-profile lesbian ath-
letes have come out while
still playing their sports, but
not a single gay male athlete
in major U.S. professional
sports has done the same.
While television’s most
prominent same-sex parents
are the two fictional dads on
“Modern Family,” surveys
show that society is actually
more comfortable with the
idea of lesbians parenting
children.

New push begins
to support startups
at IllinoisVentures
The ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAMPAIGN – The Uni-
versity of Illinois subsidiary
created a decade ago to help
catapult technologies coming
out of the school’s research
labs into the marketplace is
making a renewed push to
support startups that have
ties to the state.
IllinoisVentures is bring-
ing in a new co-director and
more board members from
outside academia. It will also
increase investment funding
for startups emerging from
the university’s Chicago cam-
pus.
Since it was created in
2001, the company has helped
raise millions for startup
businesses linked to the state
and commercialize technolo-
gies being developed in Uni-
versity of Illinois research
labs. The company operates
two private venture funds
totaling about $50 million
and also invests directly in
startups with seed and equity
funding.
The new co-managing di-
rector is Nancy Sullivan,
who also leads the Chicago
campus’ Office of Technolo-
gy Management, where she
has helped faculty members
license their inventions. She
plans to also continue in that
role.
At Ventures, Sullivan told
The News-Gazette in Cham-
paign, she wants to “continue
the cycle from the labs, from
translational research out to
commercialization.”

WHEATON – A man who has
pled guilty to gunning down
three members of a suburban
Chicago family said a confused
mental state at the time left
him unsure whether the killings
were real or only a nightmare.
Jacob Nodarse told a court-
room he “couldn’t tell the differ-

but mentally ill in the killings,
which took place in March 2010
in Darien. His testimony Friday
was part of the trial of another

Trial in brutal slayings to start
By DAVID MERCER
The Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN – The kill-
ing of a Beason couple and
three of their children led
many in their tiny central Il-
linois farming community to
begin locking their doors at
night, and nearly four years
later, their home stands as a
constant reminder of their
brutal deaths.
On Monday, the first of
two brothers
charged in
their killings
is scheduled to
stand trial in
Peoria. Chris-
topher Harris
Christopher h a s p l e a d e d
Harris not guilty to
more than 50
counts of murder in the Sep-
tember 2009 killings of Ray-
mond “Rick” Gee, 46, his wife
Ruth Gee, 39, and three of the
children – Justina Constant,
16; Dillen Constant, 14; and
Austin Gee, 11. They all were
beaten to death with a tire
iron in their home, and only
the couple’s 3-year-old daugh-
ter, Tabitha, survived.
Jury selection could be-
gin Tuesday and may take
several days. The rest of the
trial could take about a week.
Harris’ brother, Jason Har-
ris, is also charged with more
than 50 counts of murder in
the case, and his trial hasn’t
been scheduled yet.
The attack on the family
sent a wave of fear through
Beason, a community of
about 200 residents. Until
police arrested the Harris
brothers, who are from Arm-
ington, Beason was on edge.

In court, Christopher Har-
ris’ attorneys have admitted
that he killed Dillen Con-
stant. But they say he acted
to save his own life, arguing
in pretrial hearings that the
Harris brothers went to the
Gee home to buy marijuana,
and that Christopher Harris
walked in on the teenager
slaughtering his own family.
“[Constant] killed his fam-
ily,” attorney Dan Fultz said
in a hearing last September,
according to The [Blooming-
ton] Pantagraph. He argued
that the boy was heavily
influenced by violent video
games: “He had violent ten-
dencies toward everybody.”
Defense lawyers plan to
use testimony from an expert
on violent video games and
records of the boy’s troubles –
including fights at school and
threats made against other
AP file photo students – to make their case.

FAA: Staffing to return to normal soon
By BARBARA ORTUTAY
The Associated Press
NEW YORK – The Federal
Aviation Administration said
that the U.S. air traffic sys-
tem will resume normal op-
erations by Sunday evening
after lawmakers rushed a bill
through Congress allowing
the agency to withdraw fur-
loughs of air traffic control-

The FAA said Saturday
that it has suspended all em-

Immigration deal bad

for the GOP, some say
By CHARLES BABINGTON
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Some
feisty Republicans are chal-
lenging the claim, widely held
among GOP leaders, that the
party must support more lib-
eral immigration laws if it’s to
be more competitive in presi-
dential elections.
These doubters say the Re-
publican establishment has
the political calculation back-
ward. Immigration “reform,”
they say, will mean millions
of new Democratic-leaning
voters by granting citizenship
to large numbers of Hispanic
immigrants now living ille-
gally in the United States.
The argument is dividing
the party as it tries to repo-
sition itself after losing the
popular vote in five of the past
six presidential elections. It
also could endanger President
Barack Obama’s bid for a leg-
acy-building rewrite of the na-
tion’s immigration laws.
Many conservatives “are
scared to death” the Repub-
lican Party “is committing
suicide, that we’re going to
end up legalizing 9 million
automatic Democrat voters,”
radio host Rush Limbaugh re-
cently told Sen. Marco Rubio,
R-Fla., a leader of the bipar-
tisan team pushing an immi-
gration overhaul.
Strategists in both parties
say several factors would
make many, and probably
most, newly enfranchised im-
migrants pro-Democratic, at
least for a time. Rubio says
the risk is worth taking.
“Every political movement,
conservatism included, de-
pends on the ability to convince
people that do not agree with
you now to agree with you in
the future,” he told Limbaugh.
Politically, Republicans
face two bad options. They
can try to improve relations
with existing Latino voters
by backing a plan that seems
likely to add many Democrat-
ic-leaning voters in the years
ahead. Or they can stick with
a status quo in which their
presidential nominees are los-
ing badly among the elector-
ate’s fastest-growing segment.
In 2012, Republican presi-
dential nominee Mitt Romney,
who suggested that vanish-
ing job opportunities would
prompt immigrants to “self de-
port,” carried only 27 percent
of the Hispanic vote. A Repub-

GOP faces
candidate
woes in
key states
By THOMAS BEAUMONT Free

DES MOINES, Iowa – Re- on Premium
Mattress
publicans are struggling to Sets
recruit strong U.S. Senate
candidates in states where the
party has the best chances to
reclaim the majority in Wash-
ington.
It’s a potentially troubling
sign that the GOP’s post-2012
soul-searching could spill
over into next year’s congres-
sional elections.
The vote is more than 18
months away, so it’s early.
But candidate recruitment ef-
forts are well underway, and
thus far Republicans have
been unable to field a top-tier
candidate in Iowa or Michi-
gan.
In those two Mideast swing
states, the GOP hopes to make
a play for seats left open by
the retirement of veteran
Democrats.
The GOP is facing the
prospect of contentious and
expensive primaries in Geor-
gia and perhaps West Virgin-
ia, Republican-leaning states
where incumbents, one from
each party, are not running
again.
President Barack Obama
is not on the ballot, so Repub-
licans may have their best
chance in years to try to re-
take the Senate. Changing the
balance of power in the Senate
would put a major crimp on
Obama’s efforts to enact his
agenda and shape his legacy
in the final two years of his
presidency.
Republicans need to gain
six seats to gain control of
the Senate. Democrats will be
defending 21 seats to Repub-
licans’ 14, meaning the GOP
has more opportunities to try
to win on Democratic turf.
Only recently, Republicans
were reveling in the fact that
several veteran Democrats PLUSH EURO TOP PORTCHESTER - EURO TOP

Iraq unrest could elevate old guard group

By ADAM SCHRECK
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD – As clashes
this week raise fears of a desta-
bilizing new eruption of sec-
tarian fighting in Iraq, a shad-
owy militant group linked to
the top fugitive from Saddam
Hussein’s regime could stand
to gain by attracting new Sun-
ni Muslim support.
The Army of the Men of the
Naqshabandi Order depicts
itself as a nationalist force de-
fending Iraq’s Sunni minority
from Shiite rule and as an al-
ternative to the extremist ver-
sion of Islam championed by
al-Qaida, whose branch alien-
ated many in the community
during the height of the coun-
try’s sectarian bloodshed in
the middle of the last decade.
The Naqshabandi Army
boasted online that it contrib-
uted to the wave of violence
that followed a government
crackdown Tuesday on a Sun-
ni protest site in the town of
Hawija. The deadly clash there
prompted assaults by Sunni
gunmen in a string of towns
and cities, mainly in the north.
The violence has claimed more
than 170 lives.
In a posting on its website,
the group urged its fighters to
prepare to storm Baghdad to
confront “with an iron fist ...
the enemies of Arabism and
Islam” – a reference to the Shi-
ite-led government that many
Sunnis believe is too closely
allied with neighboring Shi-
ite powerhouse Iran. While it
says foreign diplomats are not
its target, it warned those who
ally themselves with the gov-
ernment can expect no mercy.

in Caribbean drug fight

By BEN FOX
The Associated Press
ABOARD THE HIGH
SPEED VESSEL SWIFT – Drug
smugglers who race across the
Caribbean in speedboats will
typically jettison their cargo
when spotted by surveillance
aircraft, hoping any chance of
prosecuting them will vanish
with the drugs sinking to the
bottom of the sea.
That may be less effective
in the future. The U.S. Navy
on Friday began testing two
new aerial tools, borrowed
from the battlefields of Af-
ghanistan and Iraq, that offi-
cials say will make it easier
to detect, track and videotape
drug smugglers in action.
One of the devices on board
the High Speed Vessel Swift
is a large, white balloon-like
craft known as an aerostat,
which is tethered up to 2,000
feet above the ship’s stern. The
other tool on board for tests in
the Florida Straits is a type of
drone that can be launched by
hand from the deck.
Together, they expand
the ability of Navy and Coast
Guard personnel to see what’s
beyond their horizon, accord-
ing to officials from both mili-
tary branches and the contrac-
tors hoping to sell the devices
to the U.S. government.
The devices should allow
authorities to detect and mon-
itor suspected drug shipments
from afar for longer periods,
giving them a better chance of
stopping the smugglers. They
also should allow them to make
continuous videotapes that
can be used in prosecutions.
“Being able to see them
and watch what they are do-
ing even before we get there
is going to give us an edge,”
said Chief Chris Sinclair, as-
sistant officer in charge of a
law enforcement detachment
on board the Swift, a private
vessel leased to the Navy that
is about to begin a monthlong
deployment to the southwest-
ern Caribbean, tracking the
busy smuggling routes off Co-
lombia and Honduras.
Crews practiced launching
and operating both systems
before a small contingent of
news media on board the
Swift, managing to bring back
video of vessels participating
in a mock surveillance mis-
sion as well as radar and vid-
eo images of the fishing char-
ters and sailboats that dot the
choppy seas separating Cuba
from the U.S. mainland.
The drone, officially a
Puma All Environment un-
manned aircraft system from
Aerovironment Inc. of Simi
Valley, Calif., splashed into
the water on one landing and
had to be retrieved. On the sec-
ond round, it clacked noisily
but intact on the shifting deck
of the 321-foot ship. Rear Adm.
Sinclair Harris, commander of
the Navy’s 4th Fleet, said the
devices are necessary at a time
when the service is making a
transition to smaller, faster
ships amid budget cuts.
The aerostat, formally the
Aerostar TIF-25K and made
by a division of Raven Indus-
tries Inc. of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
is filled with helium. It’s an old
technology, models of which
have been used for decades,
but it’s packed with cameras
and sensors that expand the
ship’s radar capability from
about 5 miles to about 50 miles.

U.S. handoff to Afghan forces by December 2014
• AFGHANISTAN
Continued from page A1
The Afghans were lined up
behind the Americans, leaning
back on their 130-pound back-
packs, saving their strength to
carry the packs onto the Chi-
nooks for their first air assault
– and without the Americans’
high-tech goggles, letting their
eyes adjust to the dark for the
assault to come.
They didn’t talk much.
A Predator drone feed
showed the groups landing in
the darkened district – dark
spots trudging slowly up hills
and sometimes falling into
ditches – U.S. and Afghan
alike. They set up a post to
oversee the insurgent-ridden
villages they would be guard-
ing for the next four days, as
Afghan police cleared them
out house by house.
Intelligence intercepts
showed most of the insurgents
had already fled to the far-
thest village just beneath Tora
Bora, where Osama bin Laden
escaped his American pursu-
ers, after watching the Afghan
troops and police mass the day
before.
The Afghans and their
American security advis-
ers from the U.S. Army’s 1st
Brigade Combat Team, 101st
Airborne Division, were less
interested in pursuing them
than in making sure they
could not return, making way
for the Afghan local police who
would take their place.
In the daylight, village el-
ders were invited to meet with
the Afghan general who led
the attack, and they said they
welcomed the troops – because
they were Afghans, not for-
eigners.
The U.S. brigade’s com-
mander, Col. Joseph “J.P.”
McGee, sat quietly in a cor-
ner, making the briefest of
comments. This was an Af-
ghan-to-Afghan conversation.
Overall in the operation,
there were tactical missteps
that Americans pointed out
privately to the Afghan com-
manders, tactfully out of ear-
shot of their subordinates.
There were shortfalls in sup-
plies, and requests were some-
times denied for U.S. air sup-
port for nighttime bombing
runs or medical assistance.

Press’ visits to Khogyani dis-

eastern provinces – Helmand,

agreed with, if the U.S. advis-
ers were consulted at all.
The uneven but steady
progress is encouraging for
the U.S. commanders trying to
hand off responsibility ahead
of the December 2014 draw-
down of most U.S. forces, from
roughly 66,000 Americans at
the start of this year, to an
as-yet-undetermined residu-
al force of NATO troops that
have been estimated will be
around 8,000 to 10,000 troops.
The Afghans are paying
heavily for that lead role,
with casualty figures rising
steadily, more than doubling
from 550 Afghan soldiers and
police killed in 2011 to more
than 1,200 last year, according
to data compiled by the Wash-
ington-based Brookings Insti-
tution.
This year is bloodier still,
with 300 security person-
nel, mostly police, killed in
March alone, according to a
top Afghan security official.
The official spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he
was unauthorized to discuss
the unpublished figure. That
monthly average is roughly
equivalent to the total number
AP photo
of U.S. forces lost in 2012, ac-
cording to AP’s own count of
297 U.S. troops killed, out of a
total of 394 coalition forces.
About 660 militants were
reported to have been killed
by coalition and Afghan forc-
es so far this year, compared
with close to 3,000 militants
last year. The NATO com-
mand does not issue reports on
the number of insurgents its
troops have killed, and Afghan
military figures, from which
the AP compiles its data, can-
not be independently verified.
Still, there is little public
outcry over the Afghan losses.
While the Afghan army’s attri-
tion rate spiked to 4.1 percent
in January, it has dropped
back closer to the annual av-
erage of 2.6 percent. The com-
bined Afghan army and police
roster remains in excess of
332,753, according to figures
provided by NATO’s training
mission, and the combined
forces are clawing back some
new ground from the Taliban,
U.S. and Afghan officials say.

of much of Afghanistan, well-

A safety net would help
protect against a drought
like last year’s, Aavang said.
The safety net would be crop
insurance that farmers can
buy to make sure they have
revenue coming in.
“What we went through
last year proved that it
works,” Aavang said. “The
federal government didn’t
have to bail us out.”
Crop insurance is based
on the history of the yield, or
a county average, and what a
farmer buys is based on his
risk tolerance and what he
can afford.
“We still may go back-
ward, but it will keep you
in the game so you can farm
again in the following year,”
Aavang said.
Dan Volkers, manager of
the McHenry County Farm
Bureau, agreed that crop
insurance is important for
farmers.
It helps cover the cost of

standing with an empty holster on June 9 when

laws to the many
areas where Il-
linois comes in
last place. We live in the only state that does
not have some kind of concealed-carry law,
although states have a wide range of latitude on
how they deal with concealed carry.
Some of the proposals being discussed carve
out Chicago and Cook County, arguing that
Chicago has unique urban issues from the rest
of the state. While true, other cities not in Cook
County, including Aurora and Rockford, also
have urban issues.
Thinking that Chicago is special when it
comes to the Second Amendment is what led to
the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Chicago’s
ban on handguns. It was a Chicago resident
who argued that he had the right to protect
himself and won his case before the Supreme
Court.
Another issue is whether Illinois should be a
“shall issue” or a “may issue” concealed-carry
state. The difference is that law enforcement
would have the option of declining to issue
concealed-carry permits even if the applicant
met criteria set under the law.
New York, which has one of the more
restrictive concealed-carry laws, is a “shall is-
sue” state and that policy was recently upheld
by the courts. While it might be legal for the
moment, we have concerns in a state known for
corruption for granting authorities that kind of
latitude.
There are 49 states that have figured this
out. The Illinois General Assembly does not
have to reinvent the wheel. It simply needs to
look at a state in the middle and adopt a reason-

Sequestration politics
President Barack Obama and his team
don’t have to worry about commercial flight
delays.
Maybe that helped secure the decision to
begin furloughing air-traffic controllers last
week, leading to delays at the nation’s airports
and the Democrats’ finger of blame pointed at
tax-averse Republicans.
The administration claims that, because
of the sequester-related budget cuts, it has
no choice but to furlough all 47,000 Federal
Aviation Administration employees, ordering
them each to stay home one of every 10 days
between now and September. That is, we are
told, the only way the agency can achieve the
required $500 million in cuts.
It’s nonsense, of course.
The agency has refused to consider reduc-
ing its workforce to help achieve the savings,
in areas that would not directly affect air
safety. Nope, not a single deputy-assistant to
the deputy-assistant can be spared. Not an
ounce of fat in the personnel budget.
As for sparing the 15,000 air-traffic control-
lers the furloughs, instead imposing them
solely on non-safety-related jobs, well, they’ve
said no to that, too.
Meanwhile Democrats in the Senate have
refused to consider legislation that would
allow the administration more flexibility in
imposing the sequester-related cuts. Offered
an escape hatch, they’ve chosen to wallow in
the inconvenience.
Because, of course, it’s all about the incon-
venience. The inconvenience is what furthers
the cause – another major tax increase.
Forget the impact on the economy when
business travel is stalled, airline schedules
upended, shipments of inventory delayed or
canceled, or when a family heading on a sum-
mer trip decides to avoid the hassle and stay
home.
According to House Republicans, the FAA’s
$10 billion operating budget has increased 110
percent since 1996, and includes $2.7 billion in
nonpersonnel costs. By no means should these
cuts cripple the commercial aviation system,
but in the interest of scoring political points,
they might.

MAN DIES AFTER
EAST DUNDEE CRASH
EAST DUNDEE – A 40-year-
old man died Saturday in East
Dundee after crashing into a
vacant building.
According to East Dundee Fire
Protection District, the uniden-
tified man for reasons unknown
went off the road on Route 25
near Route 72 and struck the
former Taylor Rental building.
The crash happened at 11:20 a.m.
Saturday.
The man was treated at the
scene for what Assistant Fire
Chief Anthony Pompa called
“traumatic injuries,” and later
died at Sherman Hospital in Elgin.
Pompa didn’t believe the man
was wearing a seatbelt or that
his car’s airbags had deployed.
“We’re not really sure what
happened, but Route 25 is 45
mph there,” Pompa said. “The
cops said he went right off the
road, we’re not sure.”

Woodstock celebrates its history Island Lake police
A new two-year exhibit
featuring Woodstock in the
early 1960s will open at 1 p.m.
May 5 at the McHenry County

The exhibit will focus on
two significant anniversa-

anniversary of the Historical
Society (first established
in Woodstock) and the 50th
anniversary of Woodstock’s
All-America City Award.
A timeline of events (sup-

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL
cmcdougall@shawmedia.com
ISLAND LAKE – The
village’s police chief and le-
gal representation have re-
signed effective with the vil-
lage’s new leadership.
In a two-sentence letter to
outgoing Mayor Debbie Her-
rman, police Chief William
McCorkle said his resigna-
tion was effective May 9, the
same day that Mayor-elect
Charles Amrich will take the
oath of office.
“I want to thank you for
the opportunity to serve the
Village of Island Lake,” the
letter read.
McCorkle earned about
$86,000 a year leading the
16-officer department, ac-

WOODSTOCK: DEALING WITH FLOODING
Health department offers
advice on flooded septics
NORTHWEST HERALD
WOODSTOCK – The
McHenry County Department
of Health offers the following
guidelines for residents whose
septic systems were affected
during the recent flooding.
• Should I continue to use my
septic system if it is underwa-
ter? No. Septic systems that
are underwater will not func-
tion properly and must not be
used.
• What alternatives are there
if my septic system is under-
water? The best option is to
find other housing until the
floodwaters recede and it has
been confirmed that the septic
system is functioning proper-
ly. Residents should see the
McHenry County Housing
Assistance Guide. They also
should check with their insur-
ance agent regarding cover-
age or contact the American
Red Cross at 877-597-0747 or
312-729-6278.
If other housing is not
available, or when working
at one’s property, it may be
possible to use a portable (ie,
camper toilet) or chemical
toilet temporarily. It is im-
portant that the portable toi-
let be maintained to prevent

nuisance conditions and must
be emptied into a communi-
ty sewer system. The use of
a portable or chemical toilet
is a temporary measure until
flooding levels go down and
you can return to living in
your home again.
• What do I do if I don’t know
where all of the components of
my septic system are located?
Historical permit records will
show the type and location
of the septic system. Call the
McHenry County Department
of Health for records after
Feb. 1, 2003, or the McHenry
County Department of Plan-
ning and Development. If re-
cords are not available, an Il-
linois licensed private sewage
disposal system installation
or pumping contractor may be
able to assist in locating the
components of the system.
• Are there any other safety
hazards I should be aware of
with a septic system? Yes. Sep-
tic systems typically consist
of pre-treatment tanks fol-
lowed by some type of seepage
system. Under flooded condi-
tions, lids to tanks may come
loose, exposing an uncovered
vault. Aeration units and lift
stations contain pumps and

ALGONQUIN: FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
New Algonquin-LITH fire chief
will earn $120K under contract
By JOSEPH BUSTOS
jbustos@shawmedia.com
The new fire chief of the
Algonquin-Lake in the Hills
Fire Protection District will
earn $120,000 a year under a
contract approved by the fire
board.
Patrick Mullen, who is the
former St. Charles Fire De-
partment chief, started work-
ing for the Algonquin-Lake in
the Hills department on April
17. His contract was approved
on Wednesday.
Mullen’s contract runs
through April 30, 2015.
By March of next year,
Mullen will have an evalua-
tion. His compensation then
will be reviewed by him and
the board.
Under the deal, he will
receive a district vehicle for
official use.
The district also will con-
tribute 4 percent of Mullen’s
salary toward a retirement
program of his choice.
He will receive five weeks
of vacation time a year, 10
sick days and three personal
days.
The fire district also will
pay for Mullen’s membership
dues for five professional or-
ganizations: the Internation-
al Association of Fire Chiefs,
the Illinois Fire Chiefs As-
sociation, the National Fire
Protection Association, the
Kane County Fire Chiefs As-
sociation and the McHenry
County Fire Chiefs Associa-
tion.
Under the contract, Mul-
len also receives life and
health insurance.

Marengo in 1986, for which he
gladly donated his services.
Don enjoyed camping and hunt-
ing, playing his guitar at social
events, and woodcarving. A very
social person, he frequently vis-
ited friends in the neighborhood
to see how things were going. He
will be sorely missed by his family

years.

Mont.
Died: April 26, 2013; in Wood-
stock
WOODSTOCK
– Esther Nico-
lene Hughes, 95,
of Woodstock,
died Friday, April
26, 2013, at the
Hearthstone Com-
munities in Woodstock.
She was born July 24, 1917, in
Culbertson, Mont., to Anton and
Martha (Larsen) Hansen, on the
family homestead. They moved
to Woodstock, where she started
first grade speaking only Danish.
She credited her first grade teach-
er for spending extra time with
her so Esther could learn English.
She was proud of her Danish
heritage, and the fact she was an
American.
As a teenager, she lived in Chi-
cago with relatives as a compan-
ion to their children. It was during
this time, in 1934, that her touch
with history came when attending
a movie with her cousin a block
from the infamous Biograph
Theatre. She enjoyed history and
would recount great stories of her
family’s ancestry.
Esther worked at Woodstock
Auto-Lite for 33 years, retiring in
1980. She enjoyed spending time
with her family, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and many,
many friends. She was a “people
person,” with a warm, loving heart
and a great attitude about life.
She always had coffee and rolls
ready and her door was always
open. No one ever arrived at her
door, or left, without receiving a
hug. She will be missed by many.
She is survived by her children,
Barbara J. (Richard Sweeney)
Murray, Wayne A. (Barbara)
Japp, Linida S. (Tom Wozniewski)
Hendle, Sherry (Dennis) Dixon,
Donna Kimball and Cynthia (Dan-
iel) Mizzen; her grandchildren,
Michael T. (Jennifer Johnson)
Murray Jr., Marcia (James) Kalisik,
Alicia (Robert) Wilson, Jennifer
(David) Goldfein, Sean M. Rowe,
Douglas Dixon, Ryan (Tara) Weis,
Jeanne (Ken) Finley Neal, Georgia
(Michael Wellman) Finley; and
great-grandchildren, Matthew

Rowe, Jacob Kalisik, Joseph Wil-
son, Bobbie Jean Neal, Paige Elise
Brown, Julian Dixon, Parker Dixon,
Liam Weis, Harlyn Weis, Annabelle
Rowe, Shoshana Goldfein and
Sabrina Goldfein.
She is also survived by her
sisters, Arleen Hutson and Alice
Schillberg; sisters-in-law, Mar-
jorie Hansen and Wanda (Gene)
Chance, brother-in-law, Wm.
(Barbara) Hughes; her god-child
and dear niece Patricia M. Red-
man; dear niece Linda Goad; and
many other nieces and nephews,
along with her many friends and
“card club” pals. Thanks to Doris
Zank and Audrey Meyer for all the
friendship, laughter, good times
and thoughtful care.
She was preceded in death by
her parents; a brother, Clarence
Hansen; and her three husbands,
August J. Japp, William Wurtzing-
er, and Harold D. Hughes.
The visitation will be from 9
a.m. until the 11 a.m. funeral
service Monday, April 29, at Grace
Lutheran Church in Woodstock.
Interment will follow in Oakland
Cemetery in Woodstock.
In lieu of flowers, memorials
may be made to Grace Lutheran
Church, or to a charity of the
donor’s choice.

Robinson’s 23 points in the fourth
quarter of the Bulls’ 142-134 triple
overtime win against the Nets were
the second most in franchise playoff
history, trailing only Jordan’s 24
points in the fourth against Phila-

helped the Bulls take a 3-1 series
lead.
“I always think I’m on fire, like
the old-school game, NBA Jam, you
make a couple and the rim’s on fire
and when you shoot the ball, the

like that at times – well, all the time.

Curran says next fight will determine future of career
By JEFF ARNOLD
jarnold@shawmedia.com
A week from now, Jeff Cur-
ran’s future will be clearly
defined, marked by one of two
distinct paths.
At 35 and with 51 professional
mixed martial arts fights behind
him, Island Lake’s Curran won’t
allow himself to ponder the road
that has reached its end. Instead,
he will focus on the route that
points back to the Ultimate
Fighting Championships and
that will allow to keep moving
forward.
To do that, all Curran has to
do is win. If he beats 22-year-
old Josh Killion on Friday in
Bettendorf, Iowa, in Curran’s
flyweight debut, a career the
125-pound fighter insists still has
some life to it, continues. But
should Curran (35-15-1) lose for a
third straight time, or even if the
outcome of his Extreme Chal-
lenge 227 bout isn’t as definitive
as he believes it should be, he is
prepared to walk away.
Fighting has taken its toll,
aging Curran’s body beyond its
years. He suffers from arthritis
and must do stretching exercises
each morning just to begin his
normal daily routine. But all of
that is worth it, Curran main-
tains, if he can find a way to
fight his way back to the top one

the left-field corner.
Murray, whose RBI double
broke a scoreless tie, then
scored on Joe Rizzuto’s single.
That was enough support for
right-hander Nick Ledinsky
as the Golden Eagles defeated
C-G, 2-1, in their Fox Valley
Conference Valley Division
baseball game Saturday morn-
ing.
“I was just hoping for
that fastball and to try to put
it in play,” Murray said. “I
just wanted to get that run
in. [Marszal and Ledinsky]
were both pitching great and
we were leaving guys on. We
couldn’t string together a cou-
ple of hits. We finally broke
through there.”
Trojans left fielder Dean
Christakes laid out and nar-
rowly missed Murray’s ball,
which landed just inside the
foul line, scoring Ryan Sar-
gent, who had walked and
stole second.
“It’s fun to be part of a game
like that,” Marszal said. “You
know [Ledinsky] is going to
pitch well, and it makes you
have to focus in there. They
just got the clutch hit and we
didn’t. Every game [in the
Valley] is going to be a battle.
Today we just ended up on the
opposite end of what we would
like.”
Jacobs (14-4 overall, 6-3 FVC

win after losses to McHenry on
Thursday and C-G on Friday.

Not much draft interest in QBs
• MUSICK
Continued from page C1
Even though a rookie
quarterback likely would not
have taken a single regu-
lar-season snap for the Bears
in 2013, I was hoping that the
Bears would select one in the
middle rounds. Marc Trest-
man has a reputation for
working with quarterbacks,
so why not draft one?
Best case, the Bears could
have found Cutler’s suc-
cessor or gained a valuable
trade chip in the long run.
Worst case, they could have
drafted the next Dan LeFe-
vour or Nathan Enderle, and
they could have cut their
losses and tried again in a
year or two.
Clearly, Cutler is the
No. 1 quarterback on the
lakefront. The Bears would
like that to be the case for
quite some time. But Cutler
will turn 30 Monday, and his
contract is due to expire af-
ter this season, and anything
can happen in the crazy
universe of the NFL.
Behind Cutler is Josh
McCown, who was born on
the Fourth of July almost 34
years ago. McCown was a
street free agent before the
Bears brought him back last
year.
Behind McCown is Lake
Zurich’s Matt Blanchard,
who spent last season on the
Bears’ practice squad after
a college career at Wiscon-
sin-Whitewater. He’s a guy
worth rooting for, but if he
has NFL ability, why did no
other team add him to their
53-man roster in 2012?
All in all, it was a weird
year for the draft. Typical-
ly, quarterbacks and other
glamour positions go early
while the big fellas on the
offensive and defensive
line wait around. But this
marked “the year of the fat
guys,” as Bears left tackle
Jermon Bushrod joked on
Twitter.
Bushrod was right.

Marian was always in the
back of my mind,” said Pot-
thoff, who retired two years
ago from McHenry. “I’m hon-
ored that Tom Landers and the
Marian family would pick me
to lead their athletic program.
It’s a great honor and I’m very
excited.”

in those shoes it’s a tough sit-
uation, but they didn’t skip
a beat,” South coach Scott
Busam said. “[Stanley] struck
us out just as many times as
Lindsay would have.”
Sophomore pitcher Hailee
Massie no-hit the Trojans (13-
1, 4-0) through four innings
but ended up allowing two
earned runs on four hits. She
struck out five and walked one
in a complete game in the cir-
cle.
In the fifth inning, Lisa
Semro drove in Erin Olson
on a shot that bounced off the
center field fence, and Amy
Clemment followed with a sac-
rifice bunt that scored Beata
Krembuszewski for the only

“[Semro] has done such a
nice job all season,” Trojans
coach Tammy Olson said of
ricanes to the 7-2 win.

Lakes Invitational with 35
points.
Jacobs placed ahead of
North Shore Country Day

Hampshire Invitational: At
Hampshire, the Whip-Purs

Beloit, both small schools,
also as a part-

“When I
interviewed
at both schools, I told them
I’d stay as long as they need-
ed me unless the Marian job
opened,” Potthoff said. “It’s
her junior leadoff hitter, who
went 1 for 3. “It’s nice having
her there.”
In the sixth inning, after
South’s Kara Zybko reached
base on C-G’s lone fielding
error of the game and Jenica
Terry reached on a walk, the
Gators were in a position to
take the lead.
With two outs Massie, who
supplied most of the Gators’
offense with a 2 for 3 showing
at the plate, pulled a ground-
er to left field that brought in
Zybko, but that was all the of-
fense the Gators could muster.
Stanley ended South’s
short rally with a strikeout.
“I think [that inning] just
got me pumped up even more
– and our team,” Stanley said.
Busam put some of the
blame on a passive offense
that took six called strikeouts
and drew one walk from Stan-
ley.
“Until we get the bat off the
shoulder and get more aggres-
sive in the box, it won’t matter
who’s in the circle,” he said.
“It’s really frustrating, be-
cause I think we have a team
that can hit.”

BULLS NOTES

Hinrich has still got it

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO
mmontemurro@shawmedia.com
CHICAGO – Bulls guard
Kirk Hinrich, a 32-year-old
veteran with 743 career games
that have worn down his
body, is still capable of play-
ing against and guarding the
game’s elite.
Hinrich logged a game-
high 59:36 in the Bulls’ 142 -134
triple overtime win Saturday
against the Nets, and most of
his minutes came with the re-
sponsibility of trying to shut
down Brooklyn guard Deron
Williams. But Hinrich did
much more than that. Hin-
rich scored 18 points and tal-
lied a game-high 14 assists for
his first double-double in the
playoffs since May 17, 2007 in
Game 6 of the Eastern Confer-
ence semifinals against De-
troit.
“Don’t underestimate the
game Kirk Hinrich played,”
forward Carlos Boozer said.
“He scored the ball for us
when he had to, he got every-
one involved when he had to
and played amazing defense.”
Hinrich helped limit Wil-
liams to 11 of 25 shooting from
the field and pestered him into
committing a game-high sev-
en turnovers.
“It was unbelievable,” Bulls
coach Tom Thibodeau said.
“He had one of the toughest
covers in the league in Deron
Williams. He is constantly in
motion running through pick
and rolls. He’s always moving
and cutting and Kirk has to
fight through that and gets hit
probably a 100 times.”
Robinson and Watson square
off: Bulls guard Nate Robin-
son and Nets guard C.J. Wat-
son will never be confused as
on-court buddies.
Tensions that had been
building the entire series
boiled over with 7:13 left in
the second quarter when
Robinson fouled Watson near
the Brooklyn bench. The two
locked arms and became tan-
gled near the scorer’s table,
prompting players from both
teams to rush over from the
court. Both received techni-
cal fouls, and within the next
minute Robinson picked up
his third foul and was pulled
from the game.
“I know C.J. well, and Nate
obviously,” Thibodeau said.
“Both are great competitors.
It’s the playoffs and guys are
going to go after each other.
If it’s talking that’s fine, but
I really want him to focus on
playing.”
Mohammed steps up: As the
season has progressed, center
Nazr Mohammed, a Chicago
native, watched his minutes
slowly increase.
For a third consecutive
game, Mohammed logged
double-digit minutes, finish-
ing with 18:32 in Friday’s win.
He added nine points and six
rebounds, but his most im-
portant contributions came
in the third overtime. Moham-
med’s layup with 32.6 seconds
remaining gave the Bulls a
five-point lead, and he added
a putback off Carlos Boozer’s
missed free throw with 19 sec-
onds left to make it a two-pos-
session game, 140-134.
Mohammed said he real-
ized he might play in overtime
after watching Joakim Noah,
Taj Gibson and Boozer play
with five fouls.
“You’ve got to stay ready,”
Mohammed said. “The worst
thing you can do is get an op-
portunity and not be ready.

about the end of the first over-
time and getting loose because

It was a success but not the results I

‘The Triumph
of Optimism’
for investors
“The Triumph of Optimism”
was the message of BSC Private
Wealth Management’s Outlook
2013 – Spring Update Tuesday at the
Crystal Lake Country Club.
The luncheon event was spon-
sored by BSC PWM and the McHen-
ry County Economic Development
Corp. and featured John Chapman,
managing partner, chief investment
strategist, and John Sleeting, part-
ner, fixed income strategist.
“If you look back at many
decades of history, optimism pays
better,” Chapman said. “Optimism
is the right general perspective. We
overcome our problems, we move
onward, we move upward. This has
been our perspective over the past
several years.
“It’s not that we’re just optimists
and pollyannish and naive about
what’s happening in the world.
It’s that we look at the data. And
the data has told us again and
again that things were improving,
that things are healing, that our

LAKE IN THE HILLS –
The AMC Lake in the Hills
12 movie theater is getting a
makeover that will add over-
sized luxury recliners and a
bar.
The upgrades are part of
a renovation project that in-
cludes improvements to the
theater’s lobby, concessions,
auditoriums, and restrooms.
Work has already started.
“We’re bringing the com-
fort of the living room to
the movie theater,” AMC
spokesman Ryan Noonan
said. “You want to be able to
put your feet up when you’re
watching a movie.”

which take up more space
than traditional seats. The
number of seats in each the

economy is cyclical, even after a big
shock like we had in ‘08,” Chap-
man continued. “Markets will come
back, the economy will eventually
come back, and I suppose this first
quarter, more than anything else,
has been a validation of that.”
Chapman said the economy has
experienced 15 consecutive quarters
of growth. “Everything indicates
that growth will continue in 2013
and 2014,” Chapman said. “There
are no signs at this point in time
that a new recession is imminent in
any sort of way.
“We’re still firmly in the camp
that says the economy is growing,
albeit not as fast as we’d like to see,”
Chapman said. “We still believe that
3 percent is possible this year, and
I think it’s going to surprise a lot
of people, just like the first quarter
surprised a lot of people.”
He said the recent plunge in
gold prices does not represent “the
beginning of the end.”
“This represents to me a recou-
pling of gold to commodity prices,”
Chapman said. “I would expect gold
to come back to $900 or maybe a lit-
tle bit less. I still think it has a place
in a portfolio strategy,” he said. “I
just don’t think there’s a strong case
for gold at this juncture.”
Among his conclusions, Chapman
said, “We continue to favor equity
over bonds,” and “we reiterate our
expectation for the S&P to reach
1,700.”
Chapman said that within
equities, “we favor a dividend bias
and U.S. mega-caps,” and within
fixed income, “we favor municipal
bounds over Treasuries.”
“This has been one of the most
volatile times, with some of the
highest levels of uncertainty since
the Great Depression, when it
comes to the markets,” Steeling
said. He urged investors to “focus
on the academics, focus on the data,
not get emotional or reactive.”

Sneak preview
Construction advances at Woodstock theater
By BRETT ROWLAND
browland@shawmedia.com
WOODSTOCK – Visi-
tors got a behind-the-
scenes look at the Classic
Cinemas Woodstock The-
ater expansion last week.
Guests got a chance
Wednesday to tour the
partially-completed facility
and test out the more com-
fortable rocker seats that
will fill auditoriums once
the project is completed.
Downers Grove-based
Classic Cinemas is more
than doubling the seating
capacity of the historic
theater as part of a $6 mil-
lion expansion. The family-
owned company plans to
spend about $4.8 million
on construction and more
than $1 million on the lat-
est theater equipment, in-
cluding some 3D screens,
said Classic Cinemas Vice
President Chris Johnson.
The existing theater has
421 seats. When finished,
it will have eight audito-
riums with 1,116 seats.
Some of the auditoriums
are much larger than oth-
ers, which will allow the
company to rotate films to
different theaters based on
popularity and extend the
viewing period for some
releases, said Woodstock
Theater General Manager
Mike Wozny.
Movies are being shown

on two screens at the the-
ater while construction
continues. The first phase
of the project should be
completed by the end of
June. Then movies will be
shown on six screens as the
second phase begins. The
second phase includes ren-
ovating and restoring the
original 85-year-old audito-
rium along with its domed
ceiling.
Preserving the original
look and feel of the theater
is an important part of the
project.

“The theater and town

was vital to blend into the
character of the town,”
Johnson said. “If we just

facility’s 12 movie theaters
will be reduced by more
than half. Once completed,
the complex will have 1,030
seats, down from 2,694, ac-
cording to plans submitted
to the village.
“We’ve found that atten-
dance goes up even though
seat count decreases,” Noon-
an said. “Every seat is now
the best seat.”
AMC will implement a
reserve seating system to
allow patrons to buy tick-
ets online and reserve seats
without waiting in line.
AMC hasn’t yet determined
if ticket prices will increase
after the renovation, Noon-
an said.
An expanded concession
stand will offer more food
and beverage items. Among
the additions is a Coca-Cola
Freestyle machine. The self-
serve drink station offers
more than 100 different op-
tions, including favorite
Coke products in a variety of
flavors and some beverages
that are exclusive to the ma-
chine.
The Lake in the Hills
complex, located at 311 N.
Randall Road, will also be
repainted and re-carpet-
ed. A bar and lounge with
tables will be added to the
lobby.
The Lake in the Hills
Village Board recently ap-
proved a liquor license for
the theater, which will allow
AMC to add the full-service
bar, called MacGuffins. The
name is a nod to director Al-
fred Hitchcock, who coined
the term “MacGuffin” to de-
scribe a common plot device
used to drive action (such as
the briefcase in “Pulp Fic-
tion”).

10,000 turning 65 every day for the next 20 years

It is estimated that 10,000 baby
boomers will be turning 65 each
day for the next 20 years and many
of them will depend on their 401(k)
asset for income.
Between 2010 and 2011 alone, the
number of 401(k) participants who
are retired or separated from em-
ployment increased by 24 percent,
while the number of active partici-
pants decreased by 2-3 percent. This
means that individuals with vary-
ing degrees of investment knowl-
edge must bear the responsibility
for choosing investments that will
either meet their retirement needs
or fail to do so.
What’s more, this shift is taking
place amid an uncertain economic
climate. Because of the volatile eq-
uity and fixed-income performances
the past few years, successfully ac-
cumulating assets has become more
of a challenge than ever. Generating
sufficient retirement income on
investments has become more dif-
ficult, as yield on treasuries fail to
keep up with inflation – a situation
likely to persist for the near future,
with the Federal Reserve’s pledge to
keep interest rates low through 2013.
Not so long ago, financial plan-
ners assumed you could safely draw
down 4 percent of your nest egg in
retirement each year. New studies
are suggesting that 2 percent may
be the new 4 percent, due to lack of
performance and low rates.
As the average lifespan increas-
es, Americans will spend more time
in retirement than any point in his-
tory. To further complicate the mat-
ter, retiring is more expensive than
ever and at the same time, they will
spend more on health-care expenses
than ever. A typical retired couple
would need to set aside $270,000 just
for health-care expenses in order to
have a 90 percent chance of afford-
ing projected medical expenses as
they age. All the while inflation
could threaten to erode savings and
the prospect of diminished Social
Security and Medicare benefits

throws the entire how-much-to-save
equation into uncertainty.
As a result, some studies sug-
gest that defined-contribution plan
participants seeking to maintain
their lifestyles in retirement will
need as much as 120 percent of their
final pay at retirement. This is
well beyond the traditional income
replacement target of 70-90 percent.
Because of this, it is imperative that
retirement savers and retirees make
wise investment decisions in their
retirement plans.
Is there a possible solution over-
looked? Exposure to global equities
could potentially mean the differ-
ence between accumulating enough
assets for retirement or falling
short. Investments in global equities
and fixed income could help make
the difference between generating
sufficient income during retirement
or not.
However, these investments op-
tions are being largely ignored by
participants in DC plans. Globaliza-
tion could be the new era for DC
plans. The problem is that these
investment options are not avail-
able in plan lineups. Ninety-eight
percent of DC plans include at least
one global or international option,
but this is probably not adequate.
However, filling the interna-
tional style boxes fund lineups with
global investment offerings does
not address the fundamental issue.
The real problem is the participant
does not understand the need for
global exposure and in our opinion,
some plan sponsors do not convey
the growing importance of investing
globally to these participants.
Most participants do not under-
stand the difference between an
International Fund (exclusive of
domestic) or a Global Fund, which
can include U.S. domestic equities.
Advisers who interact with plan
sponsors and participants can help
shape their education and commu-
nicate the importance of a global
perspective.
In all, the goal is to help the spon-
sors and participants understand
that more exposure to the entire
world’s equity and fixed-income in-
vestments could make a significant
difference in creating that best nest
egg and making it last. Simply put,
the world’s investment landscape
has shifted and retirement plan
savers and plan sponsors alike must
understand the implications of this
shift.

T.R. Kerth
Justin is dreamy. Whoa, did I say that?
I was watching a Justin Timberlake
special on TV a few weeks ago, and as
that amazingly talented young man
sang, danced and smiled his way across
the stage, I said to myself, “You know,
if I ever switched teams, Justin Timber-
lake would be my first choice.”
It was a shocking admission, and I
stole a quick glance around the room
to see what damage I might have done
with it. But fortunately, I hadn’t uttered
the thought aloud, and anyway my wife
was in a different room, watching some-
thing else on another TV.
For the record, my wife is a female
and always has been – or at least she
has been for the 46 years I have known
her. I have proof. And I couldn’t be hap-
pier with her configuration.
I’m just saying.
And so, as I say, it was a shocking
thought for a lifelong card-carrying
hetero dude to even ponder which mem-
bers of the club he’d consider waltz-
ing over the line with. But hey, this is
Justin Timberlake we’re talking about
here.
I’m just saying.
There was a time when I might have
gone out into the yard and scourged
my bare back with a thorny branch for
even entertaining such a thought. After
all, when you’re a boy growing up in
Chicago in the 1950s, your first thought
whenever you laid eyes on another guy
was, “Can I kick his butt? Can he kick
mine?”
And if society didn’t approve of our
street-wary assessments, neither did it
disagree with them. After all, fighting
was nothing more than a misdemeanor,
but homosexuality was judged a mental
disorder by the American Psychiatric
Association until 1973. Any Chicago
kid would rather be branded a violent
criminal than a nut case, right? Espe-
cially that kind of nut case.
But times have changed in America.
Being gay is no longer a mental dis-
order, or even a crime. It’s not even a
choice, or a lifestyle. It’s an orienta-
tion. Some call it a sin, but don’t get me
started again on People With Mental
Disorders.
More than half of all Americans

20 years ago. For those younger than 30,
that figure is three-quarters, and those
numbers are rising year by year. Take
legal marriage out of the equation and
leave it at cohabitation, and the approv-
al numbers skyrocket.
At this rate, even the Boy Scouts may
someday get on board the reality train.
Maybe even before the 22nd Century.
I was a freshman at Western Illinois
University when I first met a gay guy.
Well, he was the first one who admitted
it; I suppose I may have met others who
stayed well-closeted.
I was an English major and folk
musician, so I spent a lot of time at a
coffeehouse called Epitome, which often
featured one-act plays written and acted
by other students. One of those acting
playwrights was Steve, a drama major.
I guess that should have been my first
clue, but in the mid-’60s even drama
majors kept the closet door pulled shut.
At least they did in little Illinois farm
towns such as Macomb.
I had known Steve for a month or
two, and I guess he was becoming my
best friend, since I knew nobody else at
school when I went there. And one day
he pulled me aside and said, “Just so
you know, I’m gay.”
I laughed, thinking he was joking. I
mean, who would say a thing like that?
Being gay was a mental disorder, wasn’t
it? Just ask any psychiatric association
of the time.
I said something flippant, like,
“That’s nice. So am I.” But Steve wasn’t
laughing.
“No, really,” he said, and the smile
on my face switched to shocked disbe-
lief.
I stammered something about not
being interested in taking our relation-
ship to any new levels, but Steve held
up his hand. “This isn’t a come-on,” he
said. “I’m not asking you for a date. I
just thought if we’re going to be friends,
you should know that you’re hanging
out with a gay guy.”
I assured him it made no difference
to me, but that was a lie. After all, here
I was – a new kid at a new school – and
I harbored dreams of maybe someday
having a date with a real age-of-consent
college female person. Though it didn’t
bother me Steve had boy friends who

were boyfriends, I didn’t want to get
saddled with a guilt-by-association rep-
utation that might lock me out of rooms
I desperately wanted to visit. Besides,
Steve was no Justin Timberlake – who
wouldn’t even be born for another 15
years anyway.
And so, to my shame, I gradually
ended our friendship.
Happily, I soon met a real female-
type person who agreed to marry me,
and she’s still here. And still female.
But I already told you that.
To my credit, I since have known
many gay folks, and many of them have
become close friends. As I say, things
change.
And now here I am, watching Justin
Timberlake on TV, wondering unheard-
of what-ifs.
Our daughter Jenny came to visit
about a week later, and I asked her if
she had seen Justin’s special on TV. She
punched her thigh in anger that she had
missed it. She, too, has a crush on him,
and she has admitted it longer than I
have.
“You know,” I said to her, “if I ever
decided to turn gay, he would be my
first choice.”
My wife, who sat next to me, nod-
ded her approval. After all, though
she wouldn’t want to have to share my
affections with some dude, she could do
worse than having to put up with Justin
Timberlake hanging around the house.
But Jenny just shook her head sadly.
“Sorry, Dad,” she said. “He’s straight.”
I knew that. But hey, America is
changing, right? Who knows what kind
of thoughts Justin is having these days?
Maybe he gazes at short, balding guys
who are 35 years older than he is and
says, “You know, if I ever ...”
Jenny stared at me, waiting for me
to come up with a more appropriate sec-
ond choice – somebody who is actually
of the gay persuasion.
“Well, then,” I said, “I guess it would
have to be Ellen DeGeneres.”
As I said, I’m still pretty new at this
business.

Rotisserie leftovers
make chicken patties
By BONNIE S. BENWICK
The Washington Post
Add this to your list of things to do with
leftover rotisserie or roast chicken.
The recipe is from Jennifer Perillo’s new
cookbook; we are big fans of this food blog-
ger (www.injennieskitchen.com), consult-
ing editor, recipe developer and Brooklyn
mom. She offers family cooking with integ-
rity and care for ingredients while keeping
a budget and young palates in mind.
Here, she used flavors and ingredients
introduced to her girls through homemade
tacos “to keep a sense of familiarity,” she
writes in the book. The patties are easy
to assemble and can be cooled, stacked,
wrapped and frozen, so make the whole
batch – or double it. They can be reheated
on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees

the spice gets top billing here. It’s barely

Talk about meant to be.
With Jesse Williams act-
ing as master distiller, the
business model is to make
high-end whiskey at a reason-
able cost. They’re renovating
space and are awaiting all the
final federal, state and local
permits and licenses to make
whiskey before they can
actually, well, make whiskey.
J.K. Williams will be the first
whiskey distillery in central
Illinois. They hope to open
this fall.
J.K. Williams Distilling
won’t be a whiskey bar. It’s a
distillery that will sell bottles
of whiskey and other types of
liquor made on the premises,
not cocktails and a social
scene. They will provide
samples and tours of the pro-
duction wing of the building.
Jon Williams imagines the
distillery mostly will be open
for business on weekends.
There are 250 craft distill-
eries in the U.S. that make
less than 25,000 gallons a
year. Nationally, small-batch
distilleries are popping up all
over. They’re something of a
trend; a natural evolution of
the home and craft brewing
trend with beer.
J.K. Williams will be the
first whiskey distillery in
central Illinois.
“The only product we’ll
sell will be products we
produce in the building,” Jon
Williams said. “We hope to
make a big splash in the fall
when we open and see where
this takes us.”

A Cary family might just have

singlehandedly upped the average
percentage of Boy Scouts who make it
all the way up to Eagle Scouts.
Nationally, only about 4 percent of
Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts, the
highest advancement rank in Scout-
ing, said Bob Dalton, a Scoutmaster
with Troop 165 based in Crystal Lake
and chartered by American Legion
Post 171.
Four brothers, including a set of
triplets, recently earned the rank at
the same time.
“That’s a big deal, not just to have
four in one family, but to have a set
of triplets,” Dalton said. “It’s pretty
unique, the fact that every son in the
family obtained Eagle. I’ve been a
Scoutmaster for almost 30 years, and
I’ve never seen anything like that.”
Eighteen-year-old triplets Brian,
Eric and Matthew Mudra and their
20-year-old brother, Timothy, all of
Cary and members of Troop 165, were
honored recently in a joint ceremony.
Eagle Scout is a rank you see in
future astronauts, business leaders,
members of Congress and other suc-
cessful people, Dalton said.

Beds are spaced out in a weedless vegetable garden in New Paltz, N.Y.
(Nearly) weedless
gardening possible
By LEE REICH
The Associated Press
For a time many years back,
I would become nervous every
time I went out to my garden to
weed. The weeds were so few
I feared something was wrong
with the soil.
True, I had taken deliberate
steps to create this condition,
but initially it was hard to be-
lieve results could so well bear
out theory.
The first step in creating
this “weedless” condition was
to stop turning over or tilling
the ground.
Buried in every soil are
countless dormant weed seeds
just waiting to be awakened
by exposure to light and/
or air. Not tilling – whether
with a shovel, garden fork or
rototiller – keeps those seeds
buried and dormant.
Keep soil intact, covered
I now take great pains to
avoid disturbing the layering
that naturally develops over
time in any soil.
I also enrich the soil from
the top down, spreading fertil-
izers and compost or other
organic materials right on the
surface. Still, there are always
those weeds that arrive in the
garden as seeds hitchhiking
in with the wind or dropped
by birds. Each year, I smother

them by spreading a thin,
weed-free mulch over the soil.
Don’t walk on my bed
Of course, you can’t just
stop tilling, throw mulch on
the ground and garden as
usual. Walking on the soil and
rolling a wheelbarrow, garden
cart or tractor over it compacts
the soil; tillage then is needed
to aerate it.
The way to avoid compac-
tion in the first place is to lay
out the garden with permanent
areas for plants and for traffic.
Trafficked areas also need to
be mulched, in this case with
some lean, weed-free material
such as wood chips, gravel or
straw.
Drip that water
Changing watering tech-
nique was the final step on my
road to “weedlessness.” Not all
plants need regular watering,
but for those that do, drip ir-
rigation is the way to go.
Drip irrigation puts water
near garden plants, so none
is wasted or promoting weed
growth in the areas between
plants or in paths.
This is not to say that with
the above four steps – drip
irrigation, mulching, keep-
ing traffic off planted areas,
and not tilling – weeds never
appear. They do. But weed
problems do not.

Openlands director to discuss county’s early trails
By KURT BEGALKA

Ders Anderson admits he
is drawn to the historically
obscure, especially if it once
was particularly significant.
“I always get interested
in things that are getting
ignored,” he said. “Unless
you start talking about them,
nobody is going to know about
them.”
A municipal planner by
trade for 20 years and an ar-
chitect by training, Anderson
became greenways director
of Chicago-based Openlands
in 1994. He is responsible for
the planning and implementa-
tion of projects related to the
4,300-mile greenway and 2,000-
mile trail system adopted for
northeastern Illinois.
“In the 1960s and early
’70s, planning became more
commonplace. Planning
under [Presidents] Nixon and
Johnson became more com-
monplace,” Anderson said.
“But nobody was trying to put
it all together.”

Mason
Family hopes trained therapy animal
will help 4-year-old son with autism
Story by JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com
J
oe Fresso worked to get a dimpled grin out of his 4-year-old son, Mason, as the
two rolled on the living room floor. Some tickling, and Mason was off, quickly
headed toward the television screen. He banged on it a bit, and it wobbled as
Fresso dashed over to steady it. “Oh my gosh,” Mason’s mother, Julia, said as
she looked on. “It’s always something new.”
The Lake in the Hills couple
already had screwed the televi-
sion down because Mason used
to bang on the stand. But at 50
pounds, he’s gotten bigger and
stronger.
And now he’s everywhere,
his parents say. Unlocking
windows, trying to get out the
patio door, sticking limbs down
the heating vents. They’ve
since screwed down the vents,
as well.
“It’s just constant aware-
ness as to where he is,” Joe
Fresso said. “You can’t take
your eyes off him for a second.”
Mason was diagnosed with
autism at 1½ years old. He’s since
received numerous therapies both
at home and at school. He’s slowly
made progress but still has no real
ability to communicate.
It leads to frustration, both
for him and his parents, who feel
blessed for every hug, every little
wave and any eye contact they get
from their son.

Dad anticipates tough talks with his daughters

Dear Abby: As a father of two
teenage daughters, I have a question
about couples living together. Do
relationships that start this way have
a higher failure rate than those that
PlanitNorthwest.com • Sunday, April 28, 2013
gotten to know the young man, and
the relationship will have developed
beyond the casual stage.
However, I cannot stress strongly
enough the importance of your girls
earlier. It was a ritual having to do
with fertility – many grains of rice
equating to having many children. In
some countries, the couple is pelted
with dates, raisins or even eggs, ac-
comments from strangers concerning
IVF – which we did not use, hence
“identical” – or anything else triplet-
related.
I don’t think people realize how

don’t? What should be considered
when a young girl has the “living to-
gether” question presented to her by
a young man? And most important,
what can I as a father do to help my
daughters make an intelligent deci-
sion about this, other than just “load
my shotgun” (LOL)?
As always, thank you for broaden-
ing my wisdom horizon and giving
me examples of solid advice from
which both my and my family’s life
have been enriched. – Longtime Fan
In Ohio
Dear Longtime Fan: It depends on
whether the couple living together
are engaged to be married and their
level of education. From what I’ve
read, the higher the level of educa-
tion, the more stable the couple will
be. If the question is presented to
your daughters, ideally you will have
being independent, self-supporting
and completing their education before
they decide to do this. One of the most
common reasons women remain in
unhappy marriages/relationships is
the fear they can’t survive on their
own.
Dear Abby: My husband and I are
hoping you could shed some light on
the practice of throwing rice at a wed-
ding. We were not only wondering
when and how the practice started,
but also do people still throw rice
today at weddings? We had heard that
guests had stopped doing so to help
protect wildlife (especially birds).
Have you found this to be true? If
so, what do we throw now? – Empty-
Handed In Wisconsin
Dear Empty-Handed: Rice-throwing
is an ancient tradition that may date
to ancient Rome and Egypt or even
cording to Ask Yahoo.
According to Emily Post: “All
the traditional materials have their
drawbacks: Rice can be dangerous for
birds if ingested; birdseed can sprout
weeds in unwanted places; rose petals
are notoriously slippery; and even
bubbles can stain a gown. Instead,
you might distribute colored flags
or streamers for guests to wave. ... It
beats assigning someone the nearly
impossible task of trying to recover
grains and seeds from grass and
flower beds.”
It’s Abby again: This is why I recom-
mend instead of tossing anything, you
shower the happy couple with good
wishes.
Dear Abby: My husband and I have
three daughters, identical triplets.
We, like many parents of multiples,
are tired of questions and unsolicited
rude they are being. I have been
asked when did I know, how much did
they weigh, what are their full names,
etc.
Abby, would you please discuss
baby etiquette with the world? I do
not feel questions about my children
from total strangers are appropriate.
They even make me feel unsafe. –
Multiple Mom In Oklahoma
Dear Multiple Mom: Identical
triplets are unusual, and what the
questioners are doing is exhibiting
natural curiosity. While I agree ask-
ing how your daughters were con-
ceived is inappropriate, a polite way
to respond would be to say, “They
were conceived with love.”

Similar problems may require different solutions

I have been learning an
interesting lesson lately. The
lesson itself sounds too sim-
ple to be something someone
should need to learn. Never-
theless, I needed to learn it.
One way of doing things
may be helpful and fit well for
one individual but be exactly
the wrong thing for another
in the same situation.
I was talking to a lady
with two teenaged sons. She
and her husband separated
about a year ago, about the
same time she started to
recover from her alcoholism.
She was always the softer
touch, responding to the boys
out of guilt. In response, the
father took a tougher and
increasingly rigid stand,
thinking he needed to make
up for their mom’s lack of
firmness.
The outcome of this family
drama was mom and dad end-
ed up fighting over parenting
instead of looking at their
own reactionary deficiencies,
and the kids subsequently
played them like their favor-
ite video games.
At the same time, I was
talking to the father of a teen-
age daughter. He had been
raised in a large family in
an “eat or be eaten” environ-
ment. He had a tough exterior
and gruff manner. He had
little patience for disobedi-
ence and took resistance as
a sign of disrespect. He had
softened considerably since
starting his recovery four
years before, but old habits
die hard. His daughter had
a personality distressingly
similar to his own.
The presenting problem
in both cases was numerous
rule infractions including
curfew violations, late night,
unauthorized computer
use and sneaking out of the
house. For couple number
one, the answer lay in the
ability of both parents to
put aside their own needs to
address the needs of the kids.
In particular, mom needed
to start giving and sticking
to consequences for behav-
ior, and Dad needed to let
her. She needed to “get over
herself,” let go of guilt and be
a parent instead of a needy
child.
For dad number two, he
needed to let go of the “mas-
ter of the castle” syndrome.
He didn’t have problems
enforcing rules; he had
problems understanding the
reasons why his child broke
them. He needed to learn how
to give his kid a break and
treat her like a person rather
than a prisoner.
The presenting problems
were the same, but the solu-
tions were almost exactly
opposite.
Careful consideration of
each individual situation,
growth and learning from
these painful family events
and slow steady progress
toward recovery are necessi-
ties. Quick fixes, glib answers
and pop-psychology don’t do
the job.
One size doesn’t fit all.

A major league baseball stadium might be
one of the last places you would consider for your
fairytale wedding. After all, come game day, the
ballpark is often filled with droves of beer-swilling
and -spilling, hot-dog-chomping fans, resplendent in
their home-team finery.
Some couples, though, find the massive stadiums
where they enjoy hearing the crack of the bat can
also be the perfect place to hear their beloved say, “I
do.”
When she chose a reception site for her wedding
on June 2, 2012, Melissa Cantarow of Boston was
mindful that most of her 150 guests were arriving
from other states.
She and her fiancé, Jeremy, wanted a unique lo-
cation that would show off their city and show their
fun-loving friends and relatives a good time.
Once the Red Sox fans were pronounced husband
and wife in a church ceremony, the Cantarows and
their guests headed to a formal evening reception
at Fenway Park. Before the big day, however, the
couple faced skepticism.
“Our parents were a little bit wary of us getting
married there because it’s not very traditional and Photo provided
people were like, ‘Are you going to be eating hot Nick and Trisha Benzine had their wedding at Turner Field in Atlanta. Some couples find the massive stadiums where

Gem Talk
®
By Suzanne Cannon
I have a necklace with a large piece of amber in the center. Can you tell me a little bit about amber and how I
can identify, if indeed my stone is natural amber?
Amber is an organic gem that is a compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with traces of sulfur. It is tree resin that has
hardened over time. It is extremely old, up to 120 million years, and has been used ornamentally for thousands of years. People used
to burn amber as an incense because it omits a sweet smell.
Amber starts out as a really thick, sticky resin. Over a very long period of time, the resin hardens. It has to be at least 1
million years old to be considered amber, otherwise it is called copal, or immature amber. It is very soft, ranking only a 2 - 2.5 on the
hardness scale, and it is amorphous, meaning it has no crystal structure. The gem can be white, orange-to-red, golden or brown in
color. Sometimes amber can have some very fascinating inclusions. It can contain insects, plants or animals. The Baltic Sea region of
Europe is the world’s leading amber source. It is also found in the Dominican Republic.
In order to properly identify your stone, the best place to take it is to your local jeweler. There are a lot of copycat gems out there that can be pretty
deceiving. Because amber is very soft, make sure to take care when you are wearing it in a piece of jewelry. Be sure to have your amber cleaned and checked every six
months to keep it looking its best.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES
ON SCREEN NOW
“Oblivion” HHH
STARRING: Tom Cruise, Olga
Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough,
Morgan Freeman
PLOT: A maintenance worker (Cruise)
left behind to repair robots on a post-
Apocalyptic Earth sees a spacecraft
drop from the sky. He discovers a life
pod containing a woman (Kurylenko)
who has been in suspended anima-
tion for 60 years, and he recognizes
her from his dreams.
RATING: PG-13 for science-iction ac-
tion violence, brief strong language
and some sexuality and nudity
TIME: 2 hours, 6 minutes
VERDICT: This science-iction opus
comes from the same man, Joseph
Kosinski, who directed “TRON: Lega-
cy.” Whatever else you can say about
him, Kosinski is a genius at building
fantastic worlds for the screen. The
production design and special effects
are outstanding, creating a chilling
dystopian wasteland contrasted by
the shining futuristic architecture of
Cruise’s existence. Typical of heroes
in post-apocalyptic science iction,
Cruise is living a lie. As the truth is
revealed to him, the plot becomes
more and more implausible as it
deploys nearly every plot twist ever
used in science iction. The irst hour
is amazing to see, though. British
actress Andrea Riseborough and
Morgan Freeman co-star. – Jeffrey
Westhoff, Northwest Herald
“Pain & Gain” HH
STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne
Johnson, Anthony Mackie, Tony
Shalhoub
PLOT: Three Miami bodybuilders
(Wahlberg, Johnson and Mackie) with
low IQs and lower scruples kidnap a
millionaire sub shop owner (Shalhoub)
and plan to steal his money and prop-
erty. When they fail to kill him, things

H - Awful
spin terribly out of control.
RATING: R for bloody violence, crude
sexual content, nudity, language
throughout and drug use
TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes
VERDICT: After nearly 20 years of
blockbuster budgets, giant robots,
islands full of clones and wall-to-wall
visual effects, Michael Bay makes a
deliberate attempt to return to the
low-budget, low-tech days of his
irst (and best) movie, “Bad Boys.”
He may have cut the budget, but
the excesses of his crass views and
boorish humor remain. Nearly every
character is treated as an object of
ridicule, the victims more so than
the criminals. The true story is so
twisted that Bay can’t screw it up
completely, and Johnson gives a
nuanced comic performance amid
the bedlam. – Jeffrey Westhoff,
Northwest Herald
He also suggests attaching a
few to tree branches. “And I
love to uplight ornamental
grasses,” Lambton said. “It
adds nice depth to the yard.”

light for your outdoor space.

LIGHT UP YOUR
OUTER LIFE
Light-up plastic planters added to an outdoor family room to give it nighttime use by designer Brian Patrick Flynn for Hayneedle.com.
Stylish lighting options keep outside bright and cozy past dusk
By MELISSA RAYWORTH
The Associated Press
M
any Americans have embraced
outdoor decorating, filling
their yards with fluffy sofas,
gleaming end tables and even
outdoor rugs.
But what happens when the
sun goes down?
Chris Lambton, landscape designer and host of
HGTV’s “Going Yard,” advises his clients to give as
much thought to the lighting of their outdoor space
as they do to the furnishings.
Forget yesterday’s glaring porch light, he said.
You now can choose from a wide range of much
subtler lighting options. Many are inexpensive and
stylish enough to quickly turn a basic patio into a
chic entertaining space.
Here Lambton and two other outdoor decorating
experts – Los Angeles-based designers Jeff Andrews
and Brian Patrick Flynn – offer advice on the new-
est, most attractive and safest options for outdoor
lighting.
Indulge your indoor style
Many indoor furniture designs and fabrics are
now available as outdoor items, Lambton said, and
the same goes for lighting. Companies are creat-
ing outdoor versions of their most popular indoor
lamps and fixtures.
Flynn is a fan of outdoor chandeliers on patios
or decks that are covered: “They’re an excellent
way to make any humdrum outdoor space feel like
an actual room.”
But, he said, choose wisely: “To get them right,
you’ve got to take scale and proportion into con-
sideration. Install one that’s too small, and it will
look like an afterthought. Install one that’s too big
or hangs too low, and it will completely overwhelm
the space.”
Flynn also recommends using floor lamps and
table lamps designed for outdoor use. Prices vary
widely (from more than $1,000 to less than $100), so
he suggests hunting online for deals and the perfect
style.
Another option: Create your own outdoor fix-
ture. Many electricians can rewire your favorite
indoor lighting to be safely used outside, Lambton
said. “Search for whatever fixture you like,” he
said, “then put an outdoor conduit in and attach it
to a switch.”
Go vintage
“Vintage is always a key to good lighting,” An-
drews said, “indoors and outdoors.”
“Recently, I got these really cool, inexpensive
Moroccan lanterns” with a vintage look. Rather
than simply displaying them on a table, he hung
them from outdoor branches. “I had them wired for
outside and hid the wires in the trees,” he said.

branches at night, it gives the yard a “romantic and
kind of European feel.”
Forget the flood light
Rather than one or two bright porch lights, all
three designers suggest using a variety of softer
lights.
Lambton has used faux stone blocks with LED
lights hidden inside, alongside traditional lighting.
Flynn has done the same with illuminated planters.
“Sneaking in ambient light in unexpected ways
is something I love to do,” Flynn said. “In Los
Angeles, I turned the middle of a family’s Los Feliz
backyard into a full-fledged family room, comfy
sectional sofa and all. To bring light to the space,
I used modern, plastic planters that light up. They
have cords on the back of them and connect to exte-
rior outlets. Once turned on, a light bulb inside the
transparent plastic illuminates and the entire area
glows softly. This is so genius because it requires
no electrician whatsoever.”
Even simpler options: thin strips of lights that
can be attached along the underside of deck rail-
ings, or strands of lights in the shape of everything
from simple bulbs to stars, hearts or jalapeno
peppers strung overhead. No matter which style
of light you choose, Andrews said, add dimmers
to your outdoor light switches. “Everything in the
world,” he said, “needs to be on a dimmer.”
