Britain’s Prince Harry (from left) poses for a photo with U.S. President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle, Prince William and Kate Duchess of Cambridge on Friday outside Kensington Palace in London, before a private dinner. Obama stepped into Britain’s debate about EU membership and other topics, as he starts a three day visit to Britain.

TODAY’S TALKER

Face time with queen, princes completes Obama’s royal visit

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

LONDON – President Barack Obama plunged into a whirlwind of royal socializing Friday that began over a birthday lunch with Queen Elizabeth II and ended at a dinner hosted by the trio of young royals who represent the future of the British monarchy.

Obama, accompanied by his wife, Michelle, arrived by helicopter on the verdant grounds of Windsor Castle, the sprawling, centuries-old royal residence and tourist lure located just west of London where the queen celebrated her 90th birthday a day earlier.

With a patterned scarf tied around her head in a light drizzle, the queen climbed from the dark blue Range Rover that her husband, Prince Philip, drove to the landing area for Britain’s oldest and longest-serving monarch to welcome her third U.S. president to the castle.

The couples shook hands before climbing into the vehicle – ladies in the back seat – for the short ride to the castle. Inside, the queen led the group into a sitting room warmed by a fire and asked the president where he wanted to sit.

“The queen’s been a source of inspiration for me,” Obama said later at a news conference

alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron. “She is truly one of my favorite people ... an astonishing person.”

Obama capped the day with a trip to Kensington Palace, where he and the first lady were invited for dinner with Prince William, his wife, Kate, and his brother, Prince Harry. William is second in line to ascend to the throne after his father, Prince Charles.

Obama, wearing an open-collar shirt with his suit, held an umbrella for his wife, dressed in a camel-colored ensemble. They were greeted by William, Kate and Harry, and posed for photographs before stepping inside the royal residence. William and Kate’s nearly 3-yearold son, George, was spotted just inside the door.

Earlier at the Windsor Castle luncheon, the queen donned a periwinkle blue while Michelle Obama wore an Oscar de la Renta print dress topped with a dark purple Narciso Rodriguez coat. The Obamas brought as a gift a photo diary of the queen’s many visits with U.S. presidents and first ladies.

The album opens with her 1951 visit when, as Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, she toured George Washington’s estate at Mount Vernon in Virginia and met President Harry Truman at the White House. She has not visited Obama at the White House.

McCULLOUGH’S CHARGES DISMISSED Ridulph given more time to work on request for special prosecutor

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – After a judge’s order Friday, Jack McCullough will return to his Seattle home for the first time since being arrested in 2011.

For the family members of Maria Ridulph, the closure they once thought they had in knowing who killed her on Dec. 3, 1957, has evaporated.

Judge William Brady agreed with DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack’s request to dismiss murder charges against McCullough, 76, who had been free on bond since April 15. Brady also allowed Maria’s brother, Charles Ridulph, more time to amend his petition for a special prosecutor.

The charges were dismissed without prejudice, leaving open the possibility that they could be reinstated in the future. But if that is to happen, it will require a different prosecutor.

The case will reconvene June 23 for a hearing to determine whether Schmack has a conflict of interest as prosecutor on the post-conviction case.

The state’s attorney has refuted allegations from Ridulph and others that he approached the case with a predetermined belief that McCullough was innocent.

Schmack said Ridulph was merely unhappy with the judge’s decision, not Schmack’s behavior.

“It is a conflict of conclusion, and not conflict of interest,” Schmack said in court.

Ridulph’s attorney, Bruce Brandwein, told Brady he has documentation of meetings between Schmack and the Ridulph family that would prove the state’s attorney’s conflict of interest. On Thursday, Brandwein submitted a 20-page petition with signatures from community members who supported the appointment of a special prosecutor.

“It is their understanding that the defendant has been tried and convicted, and the appellate court has affirmed that conviction, that the evidence supported that conviction, and now that we have a state’s attorney who indicates he’s reviewed this ... there’s no conclusive evidence that I can find that, in fact, would support an innocence,” Brandwein said in court Friday.

In his amended petition, Brandwein said the “confidence in the im-

“I’m not asking the court anything other than to give us a fair shot,” Brandwein said.

If a special prosecutor were appointed and chose to reopen the case, McCullough could be retried again, since his murder charges were dismissed without prejudice.

A future DeKalb County state’s attorney also would have the same authority to open the case again, Schmack has said.

ROAD TO DISMISSAL

State’s attorney kept McCullough in prison, then worked to free him

By ERIC R. OLSON

eolson@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Before DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack helped to free Jack McCullough, he helped to keep him in prison.

In 2014, McCullough was a convicted child murderer and Schmack was more than a year into his first term as state’s attorney. McCullough had appealed his 2012 conviction in the 1957 kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph of Sycamore, and the Illinois Second District Appellate Court was to hear the case.

Schmack’s office worked with appellate prosecutors to defend the conviction. Emails Schmack sent to the appellate prosecutors from April to July 2014 show that Schmack thought it was clear Maria had disappeared from the corner of Archie Place and Center Cross Street near her Sycamore home much later than 6 p.m., as the state had claimed at trial. But he never asked the appellate prosecutors to admit McCullough’s conviction was in error.

“I wasn’t convinced that the result was wrong at that point,” Schmack said in an interview. “I was simply convinced that ... there wasn’t anything in the evidence and there wasn’t anything said at trial that would cause one to think it had happened about 6 o’clock.”

Emails and letters obtained by the Daily Chronicle through a Freedom of Information Act request shed some light on how DeKalb County’s top prosecutor over time became convinced that McCullough, 76, was an innocent man.

Schmack’s doubts about the case began with the timeline the state presented – Maria was probably taken between 6:45 and 6:55 p.m., Schmack said, around the same time that McCullough was said to have made a collect call from Rockford to Sycamore.

But Schmack’s doubts eventually expanded to include the way that police and prosecutors had conducted their entire investigation, from guiding and coaching witnesses, disregarding evidence that pointed to McCullough’s innocence, and putting false and misleading information before judges and grand juries.

His suspicions would eventually lead to DeKalb County Judge William Brady’s order Friday to dismiss the murder charge against McCullough,

Brady formally dismissed Jack McCullough’s murder charges. leaving him free to return to Washington state almost five years after he was first arrested and jailed.

Revisions and concerns

McCullough, now 76, was convicted Sept. 14, 2012, by Kane County Associate Judge James Hallock, who barred the ancient police reports from 1957 and ’58 about the case from the trial. In finding McCullough guilty, he said he found the state’s witnesses, including jailhouse informants and eyewitness recollections of events from more than 50 years earlier, to be credible.

McCullough waited in prison as the appeal process began. The appellate prosecutors requested and received a 35-day extension from the initial due date for a brief.

To see some of the documents obtained by “It does not appear to me that anythe Daily Chronicle in a FOIA request, includone, let alone everyone, interviewed ing letters exchanged by State’s Attorney would have any motive to fabricate the Richard Schmack and Public Defender Tom time frame in the days immediately McCulloch, visit Daily-Chronicle.com. following the kidnapping,” Schmack wrote to Larry Bauer of the appellate Coming Monday prosecutor’s office. “For this reason, I could not be comfortable with having Rebuffed by police, Richard Schmack turns a brief filed in my office’s name which to the public defender’s office to help him argues there is reliable evidence that test Jack McCullough’s alibi – and the testiit is even arguable that Maria Ridulph mony of witnesses at the 2012 trial. disappeared prior to 6:35.”

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center

“We have it all...”

You have probably heard the saying, seeing is believing. We had heard it too. But each and every time we visited other retirement communities near our home in Wheaton we found out they just weren’t able to live up to our expectations. At some point during our search, good friends told us Oak Crest has it all – great location, beautiful homes, unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, we were still a little skeptical. Then we visited Oak Crest and after meeting the friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest their home we were convinced. Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true. Oak Crest has it all and so do we.

DeKalb man charged with trying to hit officer with car

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Police have arrested a man they said ran a stop sign and then tried to hit an officer with his car.

The most serious offense, aggravated assault, is typically punishable by two to three years in prison.

A DeKalb officer was working as a crossing guard Thursday at the intersection of Taylor and First streets in DeKalb, when Gunn ignored a stop sign and drove westbound around another vehicle that was stopped in traffic, according to a news release.

Gunn was repeatedly ordered to pull over and eventually stopped, only to steer his vehicle directly at the officer and accelerate.

The officer jumped out of the way and narrowly missed being hit.

The officer saw Gunn’s license plate number, and sent a message to other departments to be on the lookout, according to the news release.

DeKalb and Northern Illinois University, with help from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office all responded to the call.

Police eventually found Gunn’s vehicle in a driveway in the 100 block of Gurler Street in DeKalb, but as officers drew near, he ran into a nearby home, according to the news release.

Gunn, who has two prior assault convictions, ultimately surrendered to police and was transported to the DeKalb County Jail, where he remained Friday afternoon.

His bond was set at $5,000 in court Friday, and he must post $500 bail to be released.

Gunn is due back in court June 17.

Liquor ordinance review on tap DeKALB – At Monday’s DeKalb City Council meeting, aldermen are expected to consider updating the city’s liquor license ordinances to coincide with changes in state law.

Although DeKalb revamped its liquor control ordinances as recently as 2012, council members have to take another look at them because the state recently made changes to the Illinois Liquor Control Act, which affects local liquor sales, city leaders said in a memo Wednesday addressed to Mayor John Rey. Also on the agenda is a proposed resolution to support an application to the federal government for a $18 million grant to fund a new transit facil-

ity here. Previous applications for the highly competitive grant have been denied.

Several new police and fire personnel are expected to be sworn in, including Jim Zarek as deputy fire chief, Matthew Neiert as firefighter and Charles Verdone as a police officer.

Council members also will vote on a number of proclamations, including May 4 as International Firefighters’ Day. Annual reports are scheduled to be presented during the meeting for Elder Care Services and Voluntary Action Center, two local nonprofit human services organizations, along with Ellwood House and the police department.

Appointments to the public library board and the police pension board are also expected to be considered.

NIU to receive more than $26M from state

By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillspie@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – State lawmakers broke a stubborn impasse Friday – albeit temporarily – to pass bipartisan legislation that will get money to cash-starved state colleges and universities sooner rather than later.

The state House passed Senate Bill 2059 on a 106-2 vote, approving $600 million in funding for the state’s public universities, community colleges, and the Illinois Math and Science Academy.

The appropriation will award Northern Illinois University $26 million, about 40 percent of the $63 million it budgeted to receive this school year from the state.

Further, as a result of this legislation, NIU officials expect to recoup some of the $20 million in Monetary Award Program money it has fronted students.

That’s because the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will receive money to partially fund MAP grants awarded to some of the state’s low-income college students.

The Senate voted 55-0 Friday to go along with changes the House made to the bill. Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office has said he will sign it.

“What is most encouraging about

this is that the legislature came together.

Members listened to their constituents ... and they made a strong case,” said Bob Pritchard, R-Hinckley, whose 70th District includes Northern Illinois University and Kishwaukee College. “Legislators saw the damage that was being done.”

Nevertheless, the appropriations bill is being called a stopgap measure because it only partially funds higher education, and the state continues to be without a spending plan to pay all of its bills.

“This won’t solve the problem, but it clearly helps,” state Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, said of the measure.

Illinois has been without a full budget since the fiscal year began July 1. And soon afterward, higher education, social services and other entities that rely on state aid started to feel the pinch.

Still, news of the legislation passing was bittersweet for NIU officials.

“While we are encouraged by the General Assembly’s action today, and the $26.4 million appropriated for NIU, we are very disappointed that we still don’t have a full year budget 11 months into the fiscal year,” NIU officials said in a written statement. “We remain deeply concerned that the lack of a full-year budget at this late date will continue to

impact student application and enrollment decisions, and employment decisions being made by faculty and staff.”

Assistance commission spokeswoman Lynne Baker said her agency is set to fund some students’ MAP awards as soon as the governor approves the legislation.

“ISAC has developed an expedited claims process so that once the governor signs the bill, all Fall 2015 MAP claims can be sent to the comptroller’s office for payment within a week,” said Baker.

The Illinois Community College Board, which distributes money to the state’s 48 two-year colleges, was appropriated $74 million in SB 2059. It was unclear Friday how much money Kishwaukee College might receive.

The college recently laid off employees, blaming it, in part, on not receiving state money so far this school year. Further, Kishwaukee College officials said recently the college is expecting to get in fiscal 2017 only half of the $5 million received in fiscal 2015.

Continued from page 4 In February 2015, the appellate court upheld McCullough’s murder conviction, but vacated two others.

The Illinois Supreme Court declined to take the case, and McCullough, in June 2015, filed a petition for post-conviction relief, what looked like his last legal option.

As McCullough tried again, Schmack did a deep dive in the research. In summer 2015, he read the 4,334 pages of discovery information given to the public defender, and 2,700 pages of “ancient documents” – including those critical police reports from 1957 and ’58.

He also read transcripts from the 2012 trial, the 2010 and 2011 grand juries and the books “Piggyback” by Jeffrey Doty and “Footsteps in the Snow” by Charles Lachman.

In mid-September 2015, three years after McCullough’s conviction, DeKalb County Judge Robert Pilmer dismissed McCullough’s post-conviction appeal, calling it “frivolous and without merit.”

That was when Tom McCulloch had enough. McCulloch was named DeKalb County’s interim public defender Aug. 4, 2012, and defended McCullough at

Continued from page 9 trial a little more than a month later. He thought Judge Hallock got it wrong in September 2012.

“I was so damn dumb that I thought the judge should find him not guilty at the trial,” McCulloch said, “and so some of those things just kind of grated on me.”

McCulloch has been an attorney since 1974. Before McCullough, his most famous client was Brian Dugan, a convicted murderer who sought to take responsibility for the 1983 murder of Jeanine Nicarico – but avoid the death chamber. McCulloch was Dugan’s attorney for more than 20 years starting in 1985. His fee: $1.

McCulloch said he expected the appellate court to send McCullough’s case back for a new trial, but it didn’t. When McCullough’s post-conviction appeal was denied, the attorney decided he had to step in.

This time his aim would be more traditional – free a man he thought not guilty from prison.

What he didn’t know yet was that Schmack had reached the same conclusion.

Defender, prosecutor find common ground

On Friday, Oct. 2, 2015, McCulloch

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Jack McCullough shakes hands with Public Defender Tom McCulloch on Friday in the courtroom in the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore. sent Schmack a five-page letter that laid out in detail his case for McCullough’s innocence.

Many of the themes McCulloch touched on in his letter would later appear in Schmack’s March 24 filing declaring McCullough innocent.

As did Schmack, he pointed out the flaws in the state’s timeline for the crime. He also criticized the photo

array shown to Kathy (Sigman) Chapman, Maria’s playmate who had seen the kidnapper at the intersection the night she disappeared. McCulloch said testimony from McCullough’s sister, Katheran Caulfield, conflicted with reports that police were informed of Maria’s disappearance after 8 p.m.

Caulfield testified she had come

home from a Christmas party about 7 p.m. and saw police cars in the neighborhood.

“The claim of police vehicles in the area an hour earlier was simply wrong,” McCulloch wrote.

McCulloch wrote that two grand juries had been given false and misleading information by police, that jailhouse informants who testified against McCullough at trial had been contradictory and possibly coached by police.

The public defender also noted the irony that the statement from McCullough’s mother, Eileen Tessier, that “John did it,” which had been the impetus for re-opening the case, was found inadmissible by the appellate court.

McCullough was innocent, and the public defender said he planned to make the court see that. He wanted to be sure, however, that Schmack wouldn’t object.

Schmack’s response, a seven-page letter sent Oct. 5, 2015, was more than McCulloch had hoped for.

Not only did Schmack agree with McCulloch’s conclusions, but he said he considered it his ethical obligation to report what he considered a false conviction to the court.

Schmack would not object to McCulloch’s involvement in the case. As it turned out, help from the public defender’s office would be critical.

County students to compete at Rube Goldberg nationals

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A group of homeschooled DeKalb County students could win a national award by opening an umbrella.

Eight high school students from Genoa, Sycamore and DeKalb will compete this weekend with teens from across the country for the title of 2016 Rube Goldberg Machine Contest Champions on Saturday in Waukesha, Wisconsin. First-place winners will receive $500, with additional titles including: best construction, best design, best presentation, safety, and risk-taking, said STEM Forward Program Manager Kelly Wesolowski.

A misunderstanding at registration means the team will compete under the name “Davis Academy,” after the group’s leader, Nathan Davis.

“We didn’t realize that would be printed on our name tags,” 16-year-old Michaela McMahon said.

More than 25 engineers and science, technology, engineering and math professionals will judge the Rube Goldberg machines, which are known for their over complication of performing a simple task. This year’s teams were challenged to engineer their contrap-

“At our regional we had several teams that had over 70 steps, which is just amazing when you think about it,”

Wesolowski said.

The teams must run their machines twice all the way through with no glitches to receive the maximum possible points.

the past five months to its Rube Goldberg Machine and the 45 steps students were able to incorporate, Davis said.

“We’ve worked on it since late December, meeting and building the machine in a Sycamore home’s garage,” he said.

The group’s machine has a theme taken from the board game Clue, and took first place in the state competition March 11 at the University of Illinois in Urbana. But the other 16 teams from around the country have worked just as hard on their machines and developed equally as clever themes, Wesolowski said.

“The way they incorporate their theme with some of the steps, I think that’s what impresses me the most,” she said.

Competition rules forbid help from adults, but that was no issue for the students, who coordinated their work schedule themselves, McMahon said.

Although some of the teams will compete as part of a school physics course, these home-schooled students met outside their private class time.

“The whole experience has not just helped us grow together as friends and a team, but it has also helped with our leadership, teamwork, work ethic and focus abilities,” Davis said.

COVER STORY | Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Richard Amato, a Sycamore lawyer and Republican candidate for state’s attorney, declined to comment.

McCullough was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2012, and Illinois’ Second District Appellate Court upheld that conviction in a 2015 decision. But FBI investigators’ reports that were excluded from his 2012 trial – and found to have been properly excluded by the appellate judges – proved to be the key to his exoneration. A court order Friday showed McCullough is no longer barred from leaving Illinois, and the judge has waived his appearance for June 23.

Brady ruled April 15 to vacate McCullough’s conviction, and released him from prison on his own recognizance. Now officially a free man with no charges pending against him, McCullough has plans to return to his home in Seattle on Sunday, and likely won’t be back for the hearing in June, his stepdaughter Janey O’Connor said.

“Jack’s plan is to live life to the fullest,” O’Connor said. “He’s missed his family. He’s missed his grandkids.”

Meanwhile, the dismissal of McCullough’s charges means no one is being held accountable for the death of Sycamore girl, Maria Ridulph, who went missing nearly 60 years ago.

“I guess more than anything, I just feel really bad for the Ridulph family,” O’Connor said. “I really wish that between now and the 23rd when they’re in front of the court again, that Charles takes this time to review the FBI files himself.”

Throughout the court proceedings, the people of Sycamore have offered the Ridulph family unwavering support in maintaining McCullough’s conviction and seeking justice for Maria, Ridulph said.

“The people of Sycamore have been so supportive from the very beginning,” he said, choking back tears.

“Their support and the hundreds of signatures joining in my petitions collected over a matter of hours – literally hours – speaks volumes of the love in this community of Sycamore.”

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, several other former congressmen and a onetime CIA chief were among 41 people who wrote letters asking for leniency for Dennis Hastert as the former U.S. House speaker heads to sentencing next week in his hush-money case.

The names of people who wrote to support Hastert, 74, were made public Friday in a defense filing in federal court in Chicago that included copies of the letters. Hastert will be sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty last year to breaking banking laws as the Illinois Republican sought to pay $3.5 million to someone referred to in filings only as “Individual A” to ensure that person didn’t divulge past misconduct by Hastert. Prosecutors say the core of the misconduct is sexual abuse by Hastert when he coached wrestling and taught at Yorkville High outside Chicago from 1965 until 1981.

The letters are part of a defense bid to get probation for a man who was once second in line of succession to the U.S.

Weight loss plans show results at wildlife park

HANNA CITY – Wildlife Prairie Park is seeing promising results with the weight loss plans it implemented for many of the animals living at the facility outside of Peoria.

A weigh-in was held Thursday at the park in Hanna City for all of its nonherd animals on exhibit, including black bears, badgers, bobcats and cougars.

The results proved the effectiveness of the animals’ diets and exercise regimes, which were introduced to the animals after veterinary evaluations a year ago revealed the sedentary lifestyle of captivity had taken its toll on them, the Journal Star reported.

In his letter asking the judge to show mercy, Delay, also a Republican, emphasized Hastert’s faith.

“He is a good man that loves the Lord,” Delay wrote. “He doesn’t deserve what he is going through.”

Prosecutors have painted a disturbing portrait of Hastert that contrasts

To help the bears lose weight, zoo staff gave them less fruit and more vegetables, and split up their meals into smaller servings throughout the enclosure to encourage foraging, instead of putting them in the same place every day.

Food for other animals, such as the bobcats and raccoons, was hidden in their pens so they had to find it or figure out how to retrieve it.

Curator Adrienne Bauer said the animals are more likely to be seen playing, searching for food and climbing in their enclosures since they began their new, healthy lifestyles.

Funeral officials: State program halt leads to stress

Hastert abused at least four boys at Yorkville High, prosecutors said in an April 8 presentencing memo that detailed the allegations for the first time.

The State Journal-Register reported that suspension of the state’s funeral and burial assistance program means more low-income families cremate their dead or hold more meager funerals. According to funeral officials, more families of indigent individuals also are leaving their loved ones’ remains unclaimed at county morgues.

“You have a lot of unemployment. You have a lot of people who need assistance, and it’s not there,” said James Gilkesson, a funeral director at Simons Mortuary in Peoria.

The Illinois Department of Human Services said about 6,600 families were served by the assistance program in 2014.

The program had cost the state between $6.4 million to $9 million annually.

Chris Butler, president of Butler Funeral Homes and Cremation Tribute Center in Springfield, said prices often would be cut drastically by funeral homes for families of those who qualified for the state aid. He said the program was helpful in stretching

At least four other congressmen sent letters: former California Reps. John T. Doolittle and David Dreier; former Illinois Rep. Thomas Ewing; and former Connecticut Rep. Porter Goss, who also once headed the CIA. Others who wrote letters included former Illinois Attorney General Ty Fahner; former Illinois state Rep. Doris Karpiel; retired Kendall County Sheriff Richard Randall; and Leo Kocher, a wrestling coach at the University of Chicago.

Hastert’s wife and children also submitted letters, including his son, Ethan.

“Many of the people who have known my father best over the years were shocked, like me, to learn of these allegations and the resulting plea,” he wrote.

“That is, perhaps, because we know my father as the man who has done so many wonderful things for so many.”

In her letter, Hastert’s wife of almost 42 years, Jean Hastert, cited her husband’s deteriorating health. And she added: “This has taken a terrible toll on our family. Please consider us when determining an appropriate sentence.”

Labor board asks judge for injunction in Chicago school case

CHICAGO – Illinois state labor officials have asked a judge for a temporary injunction against strikes like the one the Chicago Teachers Union had April 1.

Chicago Public Schools has filed an unfair-labor-practices charge against the CTU, arguing that the union’s one-day strike was illegal. CPS and the union are in the middle of contract negotiations.

The Illinois Education Labor Relations Board held a preliminary hearing Thursday on Chicago Public Schools’ charge.

CPS wants the union to be prevented from holding strikes that it said are outside state law.

The Chicago Tribune said the board still has to hold a full hearing on the strike’s legality.

The union has said that federal law gives it authority to strike without complying with Illinois

laws that require a series of steps before walkouts.

SPRINGFIELD – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied the state’s appeal for federal assistance to help local governments recover from flooding and storms in December and January.

Illinois Emergency Management Agency James Joseph said Friday in a news release that states with high populations of concentrated urban areas struggle to reach thresholds required by the federal government.

He said calls the process unfair and the state’s poorest areas will continue to suffer.

The state appealed earlier this month after FEMA denied aid to help local governments recover flood-related expenses. The appeal called for nearly $17 million in costs for several counties, including Alexander, Cass, Jackson, Monroe, Pike and St. Clair.

A ‘presidential’ Trump 2.0?

Not so fast, candidate says

By JILL COLVIN and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Standing in a conference room at a swanky South Florida hotel, Donald Trump’s chief adviser assured Republican insiders his boss was ready to tone down his overthe-top persona.

He’s been “projecting an image,” Paul Manafort told the GOP officials. “The part that he’s been playing is now evolving.”

But two hours later, Trump was telling the crowd at a rambunctious rally in Pennsylvania that he wasn’t ready to change.

“I just don’t know if I want to do it yet,” Trump said Thursday as supporters roared with approval. Ever the entertainer, he said that acting more presidential would leave his audiences “bored,” and that instead of drawing thousands, “I’ll have 150 people.”

The comments by Trump and new aide Manafort underscore a central tension surging through the Republican front-runner’s campaign. Even as he builds a more-professional operation, the billionaire businessman appears – at least for now – unable or unwilling to dial back the free-wheeling brashness that has both energized his millions of supporters and turned off millions of other Americans.

There have been previous promises that a more “presidential” Trump was about to emerge, as well as descriptions from supporters who insist there’s a charming, down-to-earth side of the real estate mogul that surfaces in private. Trump has shown flashes of what the “other Trump” might look like, but quickly reverted to his familiar campaign self.

The latest talk from Manafort comes at a crucial moment in Trump’s campaign, as he seeks to unite the Republican Party behind

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally Thursday at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg, Pa. his candidacy and hold off efforts to potentially snatch the nomination away if the race goes to a contested national convention. Many in the party fear Trump is viewed so unfavorably by a wide swath of Americans that he would not only keep Republicans out of the White House but also damage GOP candidates running for other offices and perhaps even cause irreparable damage to the party.

South Carolina GOP chairman Matt Moore attended Manafort’s presentation in Florida, and emerged confident that Trump was prepared to make necessary changes.

“He has an opportunity to reinvent himself as a more presidential front-runner for the party. And I hope he does that,” Moore said.

But Trump’s critics, including rival Ted Cruz, tried to use Manafort’s assertion that he has simply been “playing a part” as an opportunity to undercut the front-runner’s core strength: that he’s authentic to a fault

and says what he believes, regardless of the political repercussions.

Speaking to reporters after an event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Friday, Cruz said Trump’s advisers had “gone down and told Republican Party bosses that everything Donald has said on the campaign is just a show, he doesn’t believe any of it.”

If there’s an abrupt change, some supporters might feel the same way.

“If he suddenly changed, it would be really disappointing,” said Irene Mallabar, 67, a retired antique dealer from Milford, Delaware. “That’s not who he is,” she said at a Trump rally at the State Fairgrounds in Harrington. “It wouldn’t feel real. Or maybe we wouldn’t know what was real.”

Cruz trails Trump in the delegate count, but is banking on being able to keep the front-runner from reaching the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.

That would push the GOP race toward a contested convention.

8 Ohio family members are fatally shot in head The Associated Press

indicating they were shot while they were sleeping, authorities said. The victims were identified as members of the Rhoden family.

“It’s heartbreaking,” DeWine said.

“The one mom was killed in her bed with the 4-day-old right there.”

A motive isn’t clear, authorities said, but they urged other members of the Rhoden family to take precautions, and Reader advised all residents to stay inside and lock their doors Friday night.

“This really is a question of public safety, and particularly for any of the Rhoden family,” DeWine said.

The first three homes where bodies were found are within a couple of miles of one another on a sparsely populated stretch of road, while the eighth body, that of a man, was found in a house farther away, the sheriff said.

The other surviving children were 6 months old and 3 years old, authorities said. Reader wouldn’t say where they were taken Friday.

Authorities didn’t release any information on whether there were multiple weapons used or whether anything was missing from the homes.

PIKETON, Ohio – Eight members of a family, including a mother sleeping in a bed with her 4-day-old baby next to her, were fatally shot in the head Friday, leaving their rural town reeling while a manhunt was launched for whoever is responsible.

Three children, including the newborn, survived the grisly killings, which left seven adults and a teenage boy dead in four homes in Pike County, Attorney General Mike DeWine and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader said. The economically distressed county in the Appalachian Mountain region has 28,000 residents and is 80 miles east of Cincinnati.

DeWine said there were no indications that any of the dead killed themselves. Reader said if the shooter or shooters are at large, they should be considered armed and “extremely dangerous.”

DeWine said, “There may be more than one, there may be three. We just don’t know at this point.”

Some of the victims were in bed,

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Marching for a good cause Thumbs-up: To all who will participate or who have pledged money to the March of Dimes’ March for Babies event that will be held today in Hopkins Park. participants will walk 3 miles near the park in DeKalb, share or hear about other families’ experiences with premature birth and enjoy refreshments at the end. The goal is to raise about $53,000 that will help raise awareness about and money for families with babies who are born prematurely. Thanks to all who are participating to help out a worthy cause.

Thumbs-up: For state lawmakers reaching a compromise to provide some money to state colleges and universities. The $600 million that lawmakers approved dishing out to the state’s higher education institutions and students with financial need isn’t enough, but it will allow schools to keep operating for the next few months. We’re pleased that lawmakers were able to reach a bipartisan compromise that prevents schools from closing and hopefully will keep would-be freshmen from enrolling in out-of-state schools. Let’s see rank-and-file legislators build on this.

Thumbs-down: To late starts to big games.

The NHL needs to make some changes in when it starts its playoff hockey games.

While having the Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues start play at 8:45 p.m. might make it easier for people in California to watch, it makes it very difficult for people who live here and actually follow those teams to stay up to follow the action. It’s bad enough when the games end after three periods.

When they go to double-overtime, as Thursday night’s thriller did, forget it. It’s a shame that professional sports in general are so dominated by profit motives that they’ve become inaccessible to the fans.

Thumbs-up: To a new principal for DeKalb High School. Michele Albano will take over at DHS on July 1. She comes to DeKalb from Bolingbrook High School, where she has been the interim principal for much of this year. Albano has experience working with diverse student populations and in schools what District 428 Superintendent Doug Moeller said were “high-poverty schools.” The implication is that Albano’s background makes her wellequipped to deal with diversity and other challenges facing DHS. We welcome her to the community and wish her much success.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Gov. Kasich’s positive approach Ohio Gov. John Kasich is as conservative as the next Republican.

What sets him apart in the GOP presidential race is not ideology: It is his avowed commitment to governing in a way that used to be more common – open-minded, cooperative and constructive.

In a wide-ranging interview with us Wednesday morning, Kasich attacked the politicians who encourage voters to wallow in grievance and tell them that “everything is horrible, all we are is a bunch of losers, we have nothing, everything’s going to hell, and, by the way, you have been ripped off.”

Against the doomsaying of his party’s front-runners, Kasich argued that “We’ve over- dramatized our situation.” He added, “we’ve had worse times in this country – far worse times in this country. We’ll be fine.”

There are legitimate reasons for people to feel anxious, he said, but “you can appeal to them in two different ways. You can appeal to them by driving them into the ditch or you can appeal to them by giving them

a way out.” In a pluralistic democracy, that way out does not involve ramming policy down the throats of those who disagree. It means resisting the urge to say, “You’re wrong, he’s a Democrat, he’s a Republican,” Kasich insisted. Instead, he argued, “The strength of our country is we can disagree a little bit,” but ultimately we can “relax.”

He offered some evidence that he meant what he said during his 90 minutes with us. “That’s a good point,” he granted, when we pressed him on the unfairness of residents of the District of Columbia paying taxes and fighting in wars but having no voting representation in Congress.

He did not promise to change his position but said he would keep an open mind. Similarly, when we asked what he would have done after Russian jets buzzed a U.S. warship earlier this month, he said his first response would have been to “take a deep breath,” communicate dissatisfaction, but keep the right priorities in order, telling the Russian leadership that “you’re not destabilizing

the Baltics.”

To our way of thinking, Kasich is far from an ideal candidate. He is as committed as any Republican to reality-defying tax cuts. While he claims credit for helping to balance the federal budget in the 1990s, he has released so few details about his budget plan that his is the only one that independent analysts could not model. He bases the figures he does have on the unrealistic prediction that the economy will grow nearly 4 percent per year during his presidency. He opposes President Obama’s climate policies and does not have a credible plan to replace them.

Unlike many Republican officials, however, he does not dismiss science; he recognizes that human activity is causing climate change.

And he accepts that policy disagreements should be debated vigorously, with an eye toward eventual compromise and achievement. That, and his rejection of fear-mongering, might not be exceptional in normal times. This year, they are traits to be admired.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

pean single market real. When they push hard, which they don’t always, the British usually win their arguments – which is good for them, good for Europe and good for U.S. companies, too.

If Britain leaves, there is a risk that the rest of Europe could drift off in a not exactly Western direction. As the crow flies, Moscow is closer to Berlin than Washington. Worse, there is a risk that, outside the EU, Britain itself would drift into the role of an offshore Switzerland, becoming a kind of amoral trading power, one of those countries with no friends, only interests. Many in London already think it’s more important to court China than to invest in NATO or worry about the retreat of democracy. The City, London’s financial district, is already home to a large number of lawyers, accountants and real estate agents who make fortunes helping autocrats hide their money offshore, creating shell companies and using them to purchase, anonymously, very large Mayfair houses. Once outside the EU, unattached from the central political arguments taking place in Europe, this powerful class of people might well start promoting an apolitical Britain far removed from the Churchillian or Thatcherite nation of distant

memory.

If Britain leaves the EU, it would remain on the U.N. Security Council, of course, but that’s an increasingly meaningless body. Britain would remain in NATO, but NATO is a military alliance at a time when most of Europe’s security challenges are not strictly military but rather related to economics, policing, even to information policy – all of which are, at least in theory, within the competence of the EU. And if the EU hasn’t come up with solutions, that’s partly because Britain, with this referendum looming, has spent the past several years staying aloof.

“None of your business” is an understandable British reaction to Obama’s visit, in other words, but it misses the point. As the “leave” camp doesn’t seem to understand, we live in an interconnected world, where events in one country necessarily affect those in others. The United States needs Great Britain to stay great, both for their sake and ours.

But cars, computers and airplane flights are complex, too, and the market still incentivizes sellers to discount and compete on service. It happens in medicine, too, when you get plastic surgery or Lasik surgery. Those doctors give patients their personal email addresses and cellphone numbers. They compete to please patients.

Leftists say the solution to such problems is government health care.

Hare’s recovery gives backups more opportunities during spring ball

DeKALB – The first step for many of the Northern Illinois quarterbacks this season was simply to recover.

After being plagued by the injury bug, they all were able to participate in spring practices. The Huskies close out the spring schedule with the Huskie Bowl this afternoon at Huskie Stadium.

“I was a little rusty at first. It’s been a while since I’ve put on the pads and everything and got out of practice,” said senior quarterback Anthony Maddie, who missed last season after having back surgery. “I shook it off and I feel comfortable again. The speed of the game, you can’t get used to it being out. You have to be out there practicing to get comfortable out there. That was the big thing for me. Everything felt really fast.”

Senior starter Drew Hare missed the final portion of the 2015 season after rupturing his Achilles in an early November win at Toledo. Although the Huskies originally moved the spring season back in hopes Hare would be fully recovered, he didn’t participate in team drills. He did, however, throw to receivers and ran the first-string offense in 7-on-7 drills by the end of the spring.

“I just have to be patient with everything, because with this injury you don’t want to push things too fast,” said Hare, who won’t play in the Huskie Bowl. “I’ve been in the system long enough that I know what I’m doing.”

Not only did Hare and Maddie miss significant time last season, but freshman quarterback Ryan Graham injured his leg in the loss to Ohio in the regular-season finale, and Daniel Santacaterina spent most of the season rehabbing an injury to his throwing elbow – resulting in walkon true freshman Tommy Fiedler starting in the loss to Bowling Green in the Mid-American Conference Championship.

Lurry 1st pick for Team Cardinal

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – There was a sign of things to come last year in the Huskie Bowl.

On the third play of the Northern Illinois football team’s intersquad scrimmage in 2015, little-known cornerback Shawun Lurry intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown to help Team Black beat Team Cardinal, 21-0.

This spring, Lurry was the No. 1 pick of the game’s draft and will look to lead Team Cardinal in the Huskie Bowl, which kicks off around 2:30 p.m. after the team takes the field at 2 – with plenty of festivities to be had near the stadium.

“Last year’s spring game was crazy because it was my first play in the AP file photo game and I got a pick-six,” said LurNIU defensive back Shawun Lurry was the ry, who had nine interceptions in 2015 first overall pick for today’s Huskie Bowl, and was named to two All-American which begins about 2:30 p.m. He will play teams, including by the Football Writers Association of America. “Hopefulfor Team Cardinal.

ly, I do it again this spring game.”

Each team will have nine possessions that begin on their own 30-yard line.

Last year’s game featured little offense, as the defenses dominated the day in the 21-0 victory for Team Black.

Sophomore quarterback Ryan Graham, who will start for Team Cardinal, acknowledged that when teams are split up, that tends to favor the defense.

“It’s a challenge, obviously,” Graham said. “Offensively, everything has to be in sync, and when you get split up like that, it challenges you.

It’s a great opportunity for young guys like myself and guys that don’t usually play to play with each other.”

NIU coach Rod Carey said senior quarterback Drew Hare won’t play in the Huskie Bowl, with Hare still recovering from rupturing his Achilles during a game against Toledo in early November.

22 BASEBALL: BUFFALO 7, NIU 2

Huskies drop series opener to Bulls

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois starting pitcher William Anderson had two outs with nobody on in the top of the seventh inning in a one-run baseball game against Buffalo.

By the time the Huskies got to bat in the bottom half of the inning, they were down by five.

The Bulls used a big inning late to provide some cushion, and they defeated the Huskies, 7-2, on a sunny Friday afternoon at Ralph McKenzie Field.

It was by far the roughest outing in Mid-American Conference play for Anderson, who came into the contest 3-1 with a 1.71 ERA in his four starts against MAC foes. On Friday, he allowed six runs on 10 hits and walked four in 62/3 innings.

“He wasn’t as sharp as he has been with his command,” NIU coach Mike Kunigonis said. “They hit mistakes and we made mistakes, and that’s what happens.”

After getting the first two batters out in the top of the seventh, Buffalo answered with back-to-back singles

by Bobby Sheppard and Ben Haefner.

Anderson walked Mike Abrunzo before allowing a two-run single to Vinny Mallaro to end the day for the Huskies freshman starter.

Buffalo’s Andrew Taft hit a two-run double off NIU reliever Danny Hyde to push the lead to 6-1.

Offensively, the Huskies (12-25 overall, 7-6 in MAC West) had plenty of baserunners. They had at least one runner

on base in every inning and stranded a runner in scoring position in six innings.

“We usually drive guys in. Wwe drove guys in all last week and earlier this week against Milwaukee,” said NIU shortstop and DeKalb alumnus Brian Sisler, who went 1 for 3 with a pair of walks. “The kid made his pitches when he needed to.”

The Huskies, who left 11 on base, had runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the second after a double to right field by Tony Brandner, but could only score one run in the frame – coming on an RBI groundout by Johnny Zubek.

They loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh, but only scored when Austin Stout came across the plate on a passed ball.

“I think it was just one of those days,” Kunigonis said. “I think it was a day we came out and expected to do more than we did.”

In conference play this season, the Huskies have won all three series in which they took the opening game.

They lost the only one in which they fell in the opener (vs. Western Michigan).

“Friday doesn’t mean anything without Saturday,” Kunigonis said about dropping the opener. “It really doesn’t. If you win Friday and lose Saturday, now you don’t have the momentum going into Sunday.”

The second game of the series is Mary Beth Nolan for Shaw Media scheduled for 1 p.m. today, with NIU starter Ryan Olson (2-6, 5.26 ERA) Northern Illinois second baseman Brad Wood tries to turn a double play as Buffalo scheduled to face off against Buffalo’s baserunner Andrew Taft slides in into the base during the Bulls’ 7-2 win Friday at Ralph McKenzie Field in DeKalb.

“There’s always that silver lining that the backups get in there and get a lot of the reps [with] the [starters],” he said. “We got a good group of quarterbacks who have played a lot around here.”

When the Huskies did team drills, Graham and Maddie split reps with the first-team offense, while Santacaterina took over the second unit.

“With Drew being out, one thing it allowed was for our younger guys to develop,” said quarterbacks coach Craig Harmon, who took over the duties after the Huskies did not bring back Bob Cole this season. “The only way to get truly better at something is to do it, and those guys got a lot of live action.”

Graham admits during spring football last year, as a redshirt freshman, he would get nervous in practice when he didn’t know something.

However, after being thrown into the fire as the impromptu starting quarterback at the end of the

WEST CHICAGO – Noah Jones was scheduled to pitch for Kaneland one day before the Knights took the field against Wheaton Academy on Friday.

A postponement pushed the senior’s start back to face the Warriors, and whether it was because an extra day of rest Jones will never know, but his performance was the best of his season.

Wheaton Academy managed only three hits against Jones, who finished off the complete-game shutout as the Knights took home a 5-0 nonconference victory.

“It’s definitely the best game I’ve pitched all season,” Jones said. “I wasn’t feeling that good during warm-ups actually, but I got on the mound and felt a lot better. I’m not sure exactly what it was. I had good control of my fastball today and hit my spots.”

Before taking the mound, Jones had a lead to work with because of first-inning RBI singles from teammates Matt Rosko and Will Marshall. Little did Kaneland (5-6) know, that’s all it would need to back Jones’ first win of the season.

Kaneland catcher Joe Laudont, who went 3 for 4 with a run scored, knew coming in Jones wasn’t going to overpower many Warriors batters, but said control and locating pitches made him effective.

“He really did a nice job of hitting his spots and making them put the ball in play,” Laudont said of Jones. “That’s the kind of pitcher Noah is. I’ve worked with him a bunch and he’s not going to blow guys away, but when he has everything working and has good command, it’s awesome to catch him.”

Continued from page 21

2015 season because of the injuries to Hare and Maddie, he has come back this spring more comfortable working with the first-string offense.

“Just getting the experience was a big thing,” he said. “I came in not doing a lot of first-string stuff. I remember last spring I was always nervous in practice because I was afraid I didn’t know something, just because I didn’t experience any playing as a redshirt. I was comfortable this year, and I could really focus on mechanics and what the defense is doing and how to handle everything.”

Harmon said there has been improvement in the quarterbacks, especially with a slightly different system under him and first-year offensive coordinator Mike Uremovich. He also has liked what he’s seen out of the 6-foot-1, 206-pound Santacaterina, who was a standout at Geneva High School.

“Santa has taken leaps and bounds of learning this offense and being able to operate it,” Harmon said. “It was like watching a kid in fall camp progress through. I’m really happy where he got to.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Bettman stands Rizzo homers again, Lester tough in win behind late starts The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Commish says Foley ‘didn’t have his facts straight’

By CHRIS De LUCA

cdeluca@suntimes.com NEW YORK – Maintaining his image of keeping a tight grip on the Blackhawks’ public image, team president John McDonough called NHL commission Gary Bettman on Friday morning to apologize for TV analyst Pat Foley’s rant Thursday night about 8:30 p.m. puck drops.

“He was not happy with what was said and he wanted me to know that,” Bettman said during a meeting with the Associated Press Sports Editors. “I said I didn’t view that as a Blackhawks issue.

That was a [Comcast SportsNet] issue, and Pat Foley I didn’t think from his standpoint that any apology was necessary.”

Hearing that fans and players have – at least privately – groused about the starts, Bettman offered no apologies.

“Not that it makes it right or wrong, but when it comes to these things, we actually play earlier than the other leagues do,” Bettman said. “We don’t do 9 o’clock starts, even in the Stanley Cup Final. We are trying to distribute all of our games nationally.

“That may sound like an unusual concept, but up until this deal with NBC, nationally in the U.S., we didn’t have all of our playoff games on national television. To get them all on television to a national audience, you have to stagger the times. And sometimes the geography requires you do that.”

Still, it was odd to hear an announcer rip the league with so much passion.

Here’s what Foley said late in the game Thursday: “I can say with certainty: Players cannot stand these late starts. Coaches cannot stand them. Most importantly, the fans can’t stand them. So as we approach midnight Eastern – again – on a work night, a school night, a simple question: An 8:42 puck drop serves ...

who?”

That prompted NBC Sports analyst Mike Milbury to fire back on the network: “You know what? If that’s too late for certain announcers, I think they should just let someone else call the game, and stay home and get a good night’s rest.”

Is everyone ready to drop the gloves?

Bettman shrugged.

“The clubs – and I spoke to John McDonough this morning – and [the clubs say]: ‘We’ll play at midnight, if you want.’ We are not going to be playing at midnight,” Bettman said. “The point is, I think Mr. Foley didn’t have his facts straight. I know there are lots of people who don’t agree with him. But we are trying to make the most number of games available to the most number of people.

“Historically, it’s something we didn’t get the opportunity to do. It’s a good problem to have.”

What did Foley get wrong?

“That everybody hates it,” Bettman said. “It was, I think, off the mark. I’m not going to get into a public debate with Mr. Foley. But the fact is, the club is perfectly comfortable with the scheduling of the time.

“We try to move it around. We try not to pinpoint one team. We try to make it fair among all the Central teams.”

Three 8:30 p.m. starts were scheduled for this series: Two in St. Louis, one in Chicago.

“The clubs buy into the overall goal,” deputy commissioner Bill Daley said. “It’s not ideal for them, obviously, they want to be as fan-friendly as they can be to their own fans. But they understand the obligations we have and the broader goal we have to build a national audience.

Added Bettman: “And if we put all of the games on at the same time, I guarantee you we would be criticized for that.”

Bettman also discussed the thinking behind making Chicago home to the 2017 NHL Draft.

“It’s more the success of the Blackhawks,” Bettman said. “They have been terrific partners. Ask them to play host to an outdoor game, they say: ‘Great.’ Ask them to participate as the visiting team, they say: ‘Just tell us where to show up.’ Ask John McDonough to start at a certain time, he says: ‘No problem.’ ” Bettman was laughing.

CINCINNATI – Jon Lester had a no-hitter in the back of his mind. He wound up giving up five hits, but gave the Cubs what they needed most.

Lester provided a fitting follow-up to Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter by going seven innings Friday night, and Anthony Rizzo homered for the third consecutive game, leading the Cubs to an 8-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cubs improved to 13-4, the best record in the majors and one of the best starts in the past 100 years. They also opened 13-4 in 1908 – the last time they won the World Series – and in 1970. The 1907 team went 14-3 on its way to a Series title.

“It just helps us relax,” Lester said of the impressive start. “The scary part for opponents is you look up and some of our guys are not swinging the bat too great. But our pitching has been real consistent. It’s going to be the backbone of this team and take us where we want to go.”

White Sox 5, Rangers 0: At Chicago, the Sox pulled off their first triple play in nearly 10 years to secure Jose Quintana’s scoreless outing and beat Texas.

Quintana retired 11 straight through six innings until he loaded the bases on Prince Fielder’s double, Adrian Beltre’s single and a walk.

Mitch Moreland drilled a ball down the right-field line that Adam Eaton caught on the run as the runners took off.

Eaton threw to first to get Ian Desmond, and the Sox eventually got Fielder in a rundown between third and home to finish the play. It was the first time Texas got caught in a triple play since June 1, 1991, against Seattle, and the first one the Sox turned since Sept. 18, 2006, against Detroit.

Quintana (2-1) allowed only four hits in seven innings to help snap the Rangers’ four-game winning streak.

Brett Lawrie had a two-run double in a three-run sixth off Rangers starter Martin Perez (0-2).

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Knowing what you want will be half the battle. Let your intuition help you figure out which route to take. Not all offers will be equal. Look for signs of excess, indulgence and overselling, and head in the other direction. Maintaining a practical attitude will result in personal gains.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Show off your intelligence and bravado. Step outside your comfort zone and don’t be afraid to express your feelings. You’ll gain respect and receive unusual, unexpected offers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You can help people, but don’t let anyone take advantage of your generos-

ity. Someone will use unscrupulous methods to entice you into something you are best off walking away from.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Live a little. Participate in events that give you interesting alternatives to your usual weekend routine. You’ll encounter someone who shares your beliefs and has something of interest to offer you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t waste your breath trying to get others to do things your way. Take action and do your best to make a difference. The results you get will attract a romantic response.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Short trips, a visit to a museum or plans for some family fun will lead to a better understanding of what’s important to you and what your next move should entail.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Spice up your life. Make plans with someone special. Seize a chance to become more aware of who you are and what you want. Romance is favored.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Getting involved in an event that opens your mind to different beliefs or greater self-awareness will be life-altering. Adjust your living quarters to fit your plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Good decisions won’t come easy. Do your own fact-finding. Make domestic changes that will improve your life and relationships. Romance will lead to a commitment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An interesting development will take place with someone quite unexpected. Looking at real estate or ways to maximize the space you live in will lead to greater

prosperity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An emotional ploy will tug at your heartstrings. Before giving in, consider alternatives that will not jeopardize your relationships or bankbook. Love will help you resolve issues.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An unusual turn of events will lead to an unexpected opportunity.

Call in favors and do your best to market what you have to offer. Use caution when operating equipment or machinery.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) –The changes you make will lead to good fortune. A chance to invest in something that will help raise your standard of living should be a no-brainer. A romantic promise can be made.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Kidney infection. Sometimes bacteria travel all the way up the urinary tract, into the kidneys, through long tubes called ureters. The symptoms of a kidney infection, in contrast to a bladder infection, include fever, pain in the side of the back, nausea, shaking, chills and sometimes low blood pressure. Kidney infections always need urgent medical attention.

A urine culture test commonly is used to diagnose these three types of urinary tract infections. Many doctors were taught a bacterial infection is not present if fewer than 100,000 bacteria are found in each milliliter of urine. However, newer research finds an infection is likely if as few as 100 bacteria are found in each milliliter. You might check with your doctor on the results of your urine culture.

Another type of condition also can cause pain on urination: vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Often it is caused by bacterial, yeast or trichomonas infections.

Usually vaginitis produces discharge from the vagina, but sometimes it just causes pain with urination. It also can be the result of irritating chemicals (spermicide, douche, bath soap), irritation from tampons or low levels of estrogen after menopause.

So if your doctor did not do a pelvic examination to look for vaginitis as a cause of your painful urination, you might suggest that.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 50s, and every so often it is painful for several days when I urinate. The doctor tests me, says I don’t have a urinary tract infection, and that there’s nothing to do. It’s true that it goes away, but I’d like some relief when it hurts. Is there anything I can do?

Dear Reader: Urinary tract infections are a common cause of painful urination, but there are other causes as well. And those other causes can be treated. Here’s what you need to know before you talk again to your doctor.

There are three different types of common urinary tract infections, involving three different parts of the urinary tract.

• Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra. The urethra is the short tube that goes from the bladder to the outside world.

Urethritis can be caused by the bacteria that produce the other two types of urinary tract infections. It also can be the result of organisms that cause several sexually transmitted diseases, or by irritating chemicals (such as bubble bath or spermicides).

Be sure your doctor tested for the sexually transmitted diseases.

• A bladder infection (cystitis) often is caused by bacteria that live around the opening of the urethra, then travel through the urethra to the bladder. The bladder stores urine that has been made by the kidneys, then eliminates it during urination. Sometimes, bacteria travel up into the bladder without any clear cause. More often, this happens after sex, because sex tends to push the bacteria back up into the bladder.

There is a widely held belief women and girls who wipe with toilet tissue from back to front after a bowel movement can can push bacteria up into the bladder. However, I once did a study that did not confirm this belief.

again, be as upfront with her about your own reason for not wanting your son to be with her as you were about his. You are right to worry about his safety because he would be at risk if he rode with a person who “drinks no matter what time of day it is.” And don’t let anyone talk you out of it.

the behavior they want from their children.

Sometimes it’s difficult not to react and say something impulsive (rude), but that doesn’t mean parents – and teenagers – shouldn’t make every effort to be polite.

A step in the right direction would be to say, “When you do that, it makes me feel ...”

Try it, and you may get a better reaction from your mom and dad.

Dear Abby: My son is 8 and lost his dad a year ago. His dad was never very involved in his life, even though our son begged for his attention. His dad’s sister, “Jillian,” is a children’s coach and very tough and hardcore. She has tried to have a relationship with my son, but he is pulling away from her and doesn’t want to do anything with her.

When she asks to do something with him, he refuses. I have tried to prevent friction by telling her we already have plans. It finally came to a head when she accused me of trying to keep him from his dad’s family. When I told her the truth, that her personality is too strong for my son, she replied that it’s not a good enough reason.

Jillian is an alcoholic. She drinks no matter what time of day it is, so I’m OK with the idea my son doesn’t want to go anywhere with her. How do I handle this? – Trying To

DEAR ABBY am a 17-year-old girl and a senior Jeanne in high school.

Phillips My parents and I (more my mom and I) have struggled with the topic of “respect” for a long time. We had a discussion about this earlier today ,and it led to arguing and tears.

She constantly says, “To earn respect, you must give it,” and I agree 100 percent. The problem is, she doesn’t believe she and Dad should live by that – just me. She feels that no matter how upset or annoyed I might get by something rude she or Dad says, I don’t have the right to talk back.

What upsets me is they talk rude to me all the time. How can you expect your kid not to do something when they do it as parents all the time? Do parents have the right to talk rude if they want and expect their kids to be perfect little angels? Please help. – Needs

BARTENDERS WANTED

Day & Night Shifts Apply at: Winner Circle, 50W226 Old State Road, Maple Park

William Shakespeare wrote in King Henry VI, Part III, “Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer.”

A declarer who goes down in a makable contract will be haunted with a guilty mind, in particular regretting that he let down his partner.

In the future, he maybe doth fear each trump suit will break badly -- as they have over the last couple of days.

In this example, how should South try to end the deal in a happy frame of mind? He is in four hearts, and West leads the spade king.

South starts by counting the losers in his hand. Here, he has one spade, two diamonds, one club and zero, one or two hearts. Next, he checks winners. He should see one spade, three hearts, one diamond, two clubs and one club ruff in the dummy -eight. So, if hearts are breaking 3-2, there will be no problems. But what if they are 4-1?

Then declarer will have to score some extra trump tricks by ruffing in his hand.

There are a few sequences that work in this deal, but a straightforward approach is to duck the first trick, take the second spade with the ace, cash the heart ace, and play a trump to dummy’s king. When the bad break is revealed, South ruffs a spade in his hand, plays a club to the king, leads a club to his ace, and ruffs a club on the board. Then declarer leads dummy’s last spade. How does East defend?

If he discards, South ruffs low, and cashes the heart queen and diamond ace. Or, if East ruffs, South discards one of his diamond losers. Either way, he gets home.

GM Ryan Pace

Bears 1st pick likely ‘O’ or ‘D’ lineman

With the opening round of the 2016 NFL Draft now just days away, it’s time to take stock of how far the Bears have come in their first full year-plus under Ryan Pace and John Fox and see if we can’t figure out what they’re going to be focusing on this coming Thursday through Saturday.

At the NFL owners meetings in Florida a few weeks ago, Bears Chairman George McCaskey explained his satisfaction with the first year under his new football regime.

“They’ve [Pace and Fox] energized the building,” McCaskey said. “They’ve surrounded themselves with positive and capable people. We’ve got the structure in place.

We just need to continue to add players who are guys who can make a difference in the fourth quarter.”

The perception going into last season was that the offense might just be pretty good, but the defense would need work. Yet the Bears drafted Kevin White, Hroniss Grasu, Jeremy Langford and Tayo Fabuluje to further bolster the offense and added only Eddie Goldman and Adrian Amos on defense.

The Bears enter this year’s draft off a season in which they were 11th running the football, 23rd passing, 21st in offense and 23rd in points scored. They’re also looking to replace starters Matt Forte and Martellus Bennett.

The 2015 defense actually performed slightly better, finishing 22nd against the run, 4th against the pass, 14th in total defense and

20th in points allowed. The ‘D’ already has added three likely starters via free agency in inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman and five-technique Akiem Hicks.

Last year’s focus in the draft was infrastructure. This year, it’s playmakers.

The only positions the Bears seem likely to ignore in the first few rounds are quarterback, wide receiver, tight end – due to a lack of quality prospects more than need – and linebacker.

With right tackle Bobby Massey the only significant addition on offense in free agency, it’s impossible to rule out the Bears taking a running back or offensive lineman high.

The Bears have a clear need for at least

one starter at defensive end and maybe two, and Fox concedes the secondary may need work as well.

“I think Kyle’s [Fuller] got room for improvement like we all do,” Fox said. “I think it’s in there, just like our team. We were good in spots; we have to learn how to be good consistently. He’s developing and learning what that is, not resisting.”

Fox also admits Antrel Rolle might need competition. Asked what Rolle has left, Fox said, “It’s hard to say. These guys go away and they’re not in your eyesight for a while and it’s always interesting to see how they come back.

“Obviously, Antrel is one of our more veteran players, brought great leadership to our defensive team when he was available, and even when he wasn’t available [to play] he was always there with his experience.”

The Bears’ demands are easy to spot, but the supply is a lot trickier to value.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott and the top two cornerbacks, Jalen Ramsey and Vernon Hargreaves III, likely will be gone when the Bears pick. If one isn’t, they might pounce.

There are no safeties worthy of the 11th pick. Between offensive tackles Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin and defensive linemen DeForest Buckner, A’Shawn Robinson and Sheldon Rankins, at least one and possibly two or three will be available.

It is from that pool the Bears first pick is most likely to come.

Our choice for the top Bears draft class ever really isn’t all that difficult.

In 1983, the Bears had the greatest draft in franchise history – period.

Take away the Bears’ monster draft class of 1983, and you might as well take away the teams’ lone Super Bowl championship a few years later.

You’ve heard of hits and misses in the NFL draft? How about hits and hits and hits, topped off with a Hall of Fame hit? The draft was 12 rounds back then, and the Bears’ first eight picks went like this: Round 1, No. 6: Jimbo Covert, offensive tackle

Round 2, No. 33: Mike Richardson,

defensive back

Round 3, No. 64: Dave Duerson, de-

fensive back

Round 4, No. 91: Tom Thayer, guard Round 4, No. 107: Pat Dunsmore,

tight end

Round 8, No. 203: Richard Dent, de-

fensive end

Round 8, No. 219: Mark Bortz, guard

Unbelievable. Seven of those first eight picks went on to play at least 90 games in the NFL, with Dunsmore (27 games) proving to be the only exception.

The group combined for 153½ sacks, 48 interceptions, 351 catches and 45 receiving touchdowns, not to mention the countless blocks that Covert, Thayer and Bortz helped to set for all-time great Walter Payton. Did we already mention this was an easy choice?

AP file photo

2. 1961 One word: Dit-kaaa. Unless that’s two words. Is that two words? Either way, the Bears’ class of 1961 included eight players whose NFL careers spanned at least 70 games.

3. 1965 The Bears had two picks in the top four selections, and they nailed both of them: Dick Butkus at No. 3 overall and Gale Sayers at No. 4 overall. So what if many of their other 18 picks that year didn’t make much noise in the NFL?

4. 1975 With the fourth pick in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select … Walter Payton, running back, Jackson State.

That tells you all you need to know.

5. 2003 What, you thought that we’d neglect the 21st century? Pssh. The Bears’ class of 2003 started off bumpy – see: Michael Haynes and Rex Grossman – but recovered with a pair of tremendous value picks, Charles Tillman in Round 2 and Lance Briggs in Round 3.

As draft looms, Bears ‘on our way’ Chicago buys whole lot of freedom with strong free-agency stretch

By JAY TAFT

Rockford Register-Star The Chicago Bears stayed very busy during the latest free-agency period, and it looks like they might have just bought themselves a little freedom.

Freedom to maneuver their roster in ways they couldn’t before (i.e. “Kyle Long, back to guard you go”). Freedom to explore other areas of need (like finding a safety) without the dire urgency that used to be there. And, possibly most important of all, freedom to go after anything, and anyone, they covet on draft day. (Can you say “Welcome to Chicago, Joey Bosa, Myles Jack or DeForest Buckner,” whichever one slides to No. 11 overall?)

The freedom comes because the Bears were not only busy in the football marketplace the past month, but they were fruitful.

Of course only time will tell, but at first peek it would appear as if veteran head coach John Fox and still-green general manager Ryan Pace are working together with a purpose.

“It’s about getting the right kind of guys in there, and the right kind of guys to represent our city and our organization,” Fox said. “But of course, with a highlight on some athleticism and explosion.”

Those are both evident in their top two free-agent hauls, inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. With two potential stars in the primes of their career, the Bears quickly shored up one of their weakest links, which kicked off the process of letting the free-thinkers take over the draft war room.

Former Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie was quickly brought in to not only provide leadership up front, but to allow Long the freedom to flow back to his original spot on the line.

Two other O-linemen (Ted Larsen and Manny Ramirez) were signed at good prices, too, and suddenly one of the thinnest units on the team was seriously beefed up.

The Bears scored with the acquisition of defensive end Akiem Hicks, a 6-foot-5, 324-pound beast who spent his first four seasons with the Saints and Patriots, as well.

Targeting guys they were familiar with – both on the team, and outside it – the Bears shored up some obvious holes. They held on to key free agents who had a chance to bolt (primarily receiver Alshon Jeffery, tight end Zach Miller and defensive back Tracy Por-

AP file photo

Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan talks at a news conference in March in Lake Forest. Trevathan was the Bears first big move in free agency, agreeing to a four-year contract.

“There are a lot of things that go into the preparation in being the best. We’re on our way.”

John Fox

Bears head coach ter), and looked outside the box to try and fill needs.

The last player the Bears inked was safety and special-teams player Omar Bolden, and he was the eighth free agent they lured over from Denver since Fox was fired by the Broncos and hired by the Bears in January 2015.

It’s quite clear why Fox is reaching into his deep bag of experience.

“We know what we’ve got there with those guys,” he said.

As for why the players like to return to a Fox-run program?

“He’s a player’s coach. He knows how to communicate with us,” Bolden said. “He knows how to treat us, and he’s fun. He just loves to win, and the guy’s a great leader.”

The Bears did lose running back Matt Forte and tight end Martellus Bennett, but with a young Jeremy Langford providing hope for the future at tailback, and Miller showing what he can do at tight end when healthy

late last year, they may just get a pass on those losses.

They also finally gave up on defender Shea McClellin – but in this case, we’re looking at a clear addition-by-subtraction situation.

But not just because of one thing, because of all of this, the Bears’ draftday braintrust will have to worry less about filling desperation needs, and more about finding that special talent that could lead this team to greatness for years to come.

Is there more work to be done?

“A whole heck of a lot,” Pace recently said.

But are they a whole lot closer than they were when free agency kicked in on March 9?

“There are a lot of things that go into the preparation in being the best,” Fox said. “We’re on our way.”

DEFENSE

How much better does this defense look than the one that took the field in Week 17 last season?

The obvious upgrades come at inside linebacker, and they’re massive with the additions of Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman, moving Christian Jones, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson to reserve/special-teams roles.

The D-line could still use a starter. Mitch Unrein is a very dependable player (on both sides of the ball), but is better as a team’s third D-end. It seems Ego Ferguson has progressed well from his season-ending injury, so we’ll see where he’s slotted when OTAs begin. Ferguson and Will Sutton have versatility to play DE or NT. No changes at outside linebacker, but something is missing – speed. Lamarr Houston and Willie Young came on strong last season, proving they could be effective in a 3-4. Pernell McPhee, when healthy, was the best defensive player on the team, but none of the three displays the type of speed off the edge that could help the pass rush.

In the secondary, the starting four returns with clear questions behind them. How comfortable are the Bears going into the season with Bryce Callahan as the starting nickel? If Antrel Rolle gets hurt, would the Bears be ready to go with Harold Jones-Quartey, Omar Bolden or Chris Prosinski again? Both corner and safety are prime positions where the Bears could use an early pick.

The biggest changes on this depth chart come at running back and tight end, where Jeremy Langford and Zach Miller, respectively, move up from No. 2 to starter, highlighting the chance the Bears are looking closely to add depth at those positions in the draft after moving on from Matt Forte and trading Martellus Bennett.

On the offensive line, we should note that some of the reserve offensive tackles are interchangeable, and players like Matt Slauson and Kyle Long can play multiple positions up front. If a tackle had to leave a game, Long would likely move over and Ted Larsen or Manny Ramirez would play guard. There should be some spirited competition at center and the guard spots with the additions of Larsen and Ramirez. Left tackle is a position that could be addressed in the draft, too.

The wide receiving group looks strong, on paper. If healthy, that’s a stellar top three, with nice depth in the forms of Marquess Wilson, Marc Mariani, Josh Bellamy and Deonte Thompson, who received valuable reps last season.

We’ll certainly see a fourth quarterback added to this depth chart between now and the start of OTAs. Whether or not it’s someone good enough to challenge David Fales for the No. 2 job will be one of the intriguing parts of draft weekend.

12 prospects Bears might be targeting at No. 11 Who will the Bears take with the 11th overall pick? Mock drafts have a wide variety of players who could be wearing the navy and orange next season. Below is our guess at 12 targets for the Bears either at No. 11, or another spot in the first round if they decide to trade up or down. Former director of college scouting Greg Gabriel provided Pro Football Weekly with the following scouting reports. Players are ranked in order of Gabriel’s draft grades.

DE DeForest Buckner Oregon

6-7, 291 pounds Way we see it: This is a player who has shown improvement every year he has been at Oregon.

Has the natural physical traits to be a dominant defensive lineman in the NFL. While he plays in a DeForest 3-4 scheme at Oregon, he Buckner can play in any scheme at the next level. Has really come on as a pass rusher this year and learned how to set up opponents and put moves together. Will no doubt be a top 10 pick and could very well be the first or second defensive linemen drafted. Should

come in and start right away. As good as he is, he still has unlimited upside.

CB Vernon Hargreaves III Florida

5-10, 204 pounds Way we see it: He has the traits needed to be a top cover corner in the NFL. Can play press or zone equally well.

Gets and keeps good position and plays the ball equally well. Has excellent hands and ability to track the ball. Is very willing in run support, can shed and is a good tackler. He plays the game with a cockiness that is a good thing. Very sure of his ability. He will challenge receivers and has fun playing the game. Will be a high pick and should come in and start as a rookie.

DE Shaq Lawson Clemson

6-3, 269 pounds Way we see it: He will be one of the better defensive linemen in this draft.

Plays both on his feet and in a threepoint stance. Lawson flashes dominating ability with his strength, power, instincts and skill set. He is a very good player versus the run and as a pass rusher. He’s scheme versatile, can play end in a 4-3 or 3-4. Just needs to get

run and pass blocker and a top competitor. Plays an aggressive brand of football. Punishing run blocker who looks to finish. Sets quickly in pass protection and does a good job mirroring opponents and anchoring. Overall, like most rookies he will most likely DT A’Shawn Robinson start off on the right side. While he can Alabama play left tackle in the NFL, he may find 6-4, 307 pounds a home at right tackle and be a 10-year Way we see it: When you factor in his age, you can see that he has unlimit- fixture. I have no doubt he will be a ed upside as a player. He turned 21 on winning player at the next level.

March 21st. He is versatile in that he can play in any scheme and plays just DE Kevin Dodd about any defensive line position. He is Clemson best suited to be either a 3-technique in 6-5, 277 pounds a 4-3 or a 5-technique in a 3-man front.

Way we see it: He had a very strong He is excellent as a run-down player 2015 with 63 total tackles including and still developing as a pass rusher. 23.5 tackles for loss and 12.0 sacks. He He has all the physical tools to become was a late bloomer who really came a very good NFL defensive lineman. He on. He has the physical tools to be a is strong and athletic and just begin- very good NFL player. Has very good ning to come into his own. Will start size and the frame to get to 290+. Dodd and be a contributor as a rookie. High plays the run and pass very well, has pick! good instincts and is seldom fooled.

With his size and athleticism, he can play end in a 3-4 or a 4-3. Still has upOT Jack Conklin side. He can be a rookie starter and be Michigan State a strong contributor.

6-6, 308 pounds Way we see it: A consistent player at left tackle for Michigan State. He is big, strong and physical. Consistent See PROSPECTS, page 12 a little bigger to play in a 3-4. Lawson has excellent overall athleticism. Will come in and start right away for just about any NFL team. Is young and still has tremendous upside.

Bears are lacking a true speed rusher off the edge.

“Defensive front help is obviously a deep area,” Fox said. “[But] those elite pass rushers are hard to find. They don’t come around very often. So we’ll still be looking to improve any way we can.” vvv

Never rule out anything during the draft. But the Bears’ decisions to sign inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman in free agency said plenty about how they feel about their options in the draft: They don’t like them.

If the Bears don’t draft an inside linebacker, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson, two undrafted rookies from a year ago, will be the top reserves at the ultra-violent position.

But Pace seems to be OK with that.

He points to all their playing time last

season.

“Anderson, when I think of him, what comes to mind is that he’s very athletic and he runs very well,” Pace said. “When I think of Timu, I think of a guy that’s extremely instinctive and physical and tough. They both possess different traits. But there was a great value to them playing as much as they did.” vvv Tight end is a need for the Bears that warrants more attention. The Bears absolutely have to take one after trading Martellus Bennett and losing out on Saints restricted free agent Josh Hill.

But it’s a thin class for tight ends.

Pace himself described it as merely OK. But they need to add someone to their tight-end mix, which is led by veteran Zach Miller. If the Bears are going to reach on any position, this is it.

Most project Chicago to draft for ‘D’ in 1st round The consensus is that Bears GM Ryan Pace and coach John Fox will look to add more playmakers to the defense in the draft, especially with their first pick at 11th overall.

But there could be a couple offensive players who, if they’re available, would be hard to pass up for a team that finished 21st in yards and 23rd in scoring last season and then lost two of its top skill position players.

The Bears’ leading rusher over the past eight years, Matt Forte, is now a Jet. Tight end Martellus Bennett, a Pro Bowl pick in 2014 when he had 90 catches, is with the Patriots.

Pace and Fox originally paid lip service to their young runners, Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey, and then made a lucrative offer to Denver’s restricted free agent, C.J. Anderson, who the Broncos eventually retained.

OPINION

By BOB

LeGERE

rlegere@dailyherald.com @BobLeGere

running back Ezekiel Elliott is still on the board when the Bears pick on the night of April 28. There’s probably a 50-50 chance, and there’s no doubt Elliott would make any NFL team better immediately.

But the Bears have bigger needs on defense, and even on offense, where the line remains a work in progress. If Notre Dame’s Ronnie Stanley falls to 11, he projects as a plug-and-play left tackle, who also makes the Bears better immediately, no matter how much they say they like Charles Leno Jr. Taking Stanley might be an easy decision for the Bears, but what if he’s

gone and Michigan State’s Jack Conklin is available? The Spartan is a popular Chicago choice in many mocks. But some scouts believe Conklin will be more effective in the NFL as a guard, and the Bears are solid there. Their two best linemen are guards – Kyle Long and Matt Slauson – and they recently added veterans Manny Ramirez and Ted Larsen to the interior-O-line mix.

That could change if rumors of a Slauson trade come to fruition, but for now, tight end is a bigger concern.

For all his selfishness and petulance, Bennett is still one of the NFL’s top all-around tight ends. The problem is, he doesn’t want to be. He wants to be Jimmy Graham, sprinting downfield to make big catches, while someone else does the dirty work that comes with being an all-around tight end.

Fortunately for the Bears, they can find a complement to their gifted receiving tight end Zach Miller well beyond the first round. It’s possible the best tight end in the draft, Arkansas’ Hunter Henry, could be there when the Bears pick in the second round, 41st overall.

As long as Miller remains healthy, which is hardly a given, the Bears’ bigger need is for an in-line blocker at tight end. Those guys will be available on the third day.

And there’s also the search for Jay Cutler’s successor. The sooner that begins the better because Cutler will be 33 before the draft ends. Pace believes it’s good policy to draft a quarterback at some point in most years.

“It’s a good class,” he said of the current crop. “I don’t want to get into the specifics, but there are a handful of guys that are up near the top. There are also a handful of quarterbacks in the middle part of the draft that I feel good about and that we’ve got to make sure we’ve accurately graded.”

It’s more likely the Bears will look at quarterbacks in the middle rounds.

There are a couple of former Florida Gators who might interest the Bears, though neither finished his career in Gainesville.

After he lost the starting job to Jeff Driskel, 6-foot-4, 231-pound Jacoby Brissett played two seasons at North Carolina State, where he threw 43 TD passes and just 11 interceptions.

After Driskel lost the job, he played his final season at Louisiana Tech as a graduate student. The 6-foot-4, 234-pounder ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine, the fastest of any quarterback.

Neither player is NFL ready, but both have enough tools to project as starters down the road.

BEARS 2016 DRAFT PREDICTIONS

Kevin Fishbain WRITER/EDITOR

KFISHBAIN@PROFOOTBALLWEEKLY.COM

What can be more ridiculous than trying to predict the first round of the NFL Draft?

Projecting all nine Bears picks, of course.

The following seven-round Bears Mock Draft lays out scenarios for GM Ryan Pace and the front office considering the team needs and players available each round.

1

PICK 11

OSU RB Ezekiel Elliott

If the Bears really want Elliott, they may have to move up a pick or two to get ahead of the Giants, assuming the Eagles don’t pick the draft’s top back. The Bears have an extra fourth-round pick to use as ammo, and this scenario likely needs help from a team grabbing Paxton Lynch. The familiarity between the Bears and Elliott is high because of running backs coach

Stan Drayton, Elliott’s position coach at Ohio State in 2014. Yes, the team is confident in Jeremy Langford, but its aggressive pursuit of C.J. Anderson shows that if the right player is there to help the offense, they’ll make a play. An Elliott-Langford backfield duo would be tremendous for the long-term and help an offense that has lost Matt Forte and Martellus Bennett this offseason without replacing them from the outside.

2

PICK 41

Mississippi State DT Chris Jones

The defensive lineman class is deep, allowing the Bears to wait until the second to grab someone like Jones who has great length (6-foot-6 with 34 ½” arms) and is considering a player on the rise with his best football ahead of him. He could step in and start next to Eddie Goldman and Akiem Hicks.

3

PICK 72

N. Iowa CB/S Deiondre’ Hall

Hall has the size, physicality,

ball skills and versatility to play corner or safety. He’ll need some time to develop coming out of the FCS, which is fine for a Bears team returning four starters in the secondary, and Hall certainly has some special-teams traits.

4

PICK 106

Stanford QB Kevin Hogan

The mid-round quarterbacks will be intriguing to watch. If one team grabs a signal-caller in Round 3, will others get anxious and start taking them off the board? If Hogan is still around in the fourth, he’d be a solid quarterback to develop in the Bears’ system behind Jay Cutler and David Fales. He is smart and posted impressive numbers including a career 65.9-percent accuracy rate and 75-29 touchdown-interception ratio.

4

PICK 127

North Dakota State OT Joe Haeg

This mock draft assumes that the Bears truly are comfortable with Charles Leno at left tackle for the present and future, but they still

need depth at tackle. Haeg has a desirable frame for the position at 6-6, 304 pounds with 33 3/4” arms. He started 60 games and protected Carson Wentz.

5

PICK 150

Washington OLB Travis Feeney

Pace and Fox want to increase team speed, and they could certainly use an upgrade in that department off the edge. Enter Feeney, who notched a 4.50 40 at the Combine. He had 17.5 tackles for loss last season, but will drop in the draft because of some injury questions. He has tweener traits, but Fangio should be able to find a spot for a player with this kind of athleticism.

6

PICK 185

Northwestern DL Dean Lowry

Depth still has to be added in the trenches, and if the Rockford Boylan product slips to the sixth round, the Bears should grab him. As a defensive end who slid inside on passing downs, Lowry was very productive in

Evanston with 13.5 tackles for loss last season. He shined at the Combine with his athleticism and has a 6-foot-6 frame able to hold 300 pounds, ideal to play the five-technique.

6

PICK 206

Georgia Tech CB D.J. White

You can never have enough corners. It’s one of the thinner positions on the Bears – and Pace didn’t draft any in 2015. White has plenty of experience with good ball skills and he type of physicality teams want out of players who can contribute early on special teams.

7

PICK 230

Arkansas State TE Darion Griswold

It’s a bad time for a weak tight end class for the Bears with a need for depth behind Zach Miller. Griswold would add to the small-school crop for Pace’s second class. He was impressive at the Shrine Game and got the call-up to the Senior Bowl thanks to good hands and athleticism.

TAKE TWO PAT FINLEY

ARTHUR ARKUSH

Is the NFL Draft the Bears’ Super Bowl?

With the NFL draft in Chicago for a second consecutive year, Pat Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times and Pro Football Weekly’s Arthur Arkush discuss the venue, the city and the Bears’ draft outlook.

FINLEY: Last year at this time, Arthur, we didn’t know what the NFL Draft would look like. How would it function outside of New York City?

Would it snow? Would the free “Draft Town” fan festival be a hit? Would fans care that the top two quarterbacks were hanging out at home? My question for you, Arthur: Has it been a success? And, short of the public’s insatiable love of football, why?

ARKUSH: Aesthetically, Pat, it was

perfect. From the splendor of Grant Park on an unseasonably warm and picturesque weekend hosting 200,000 “Draft Town” attendees, to the best

venue in the city – the Auditorium Theatre – serving as the perfect TV backdrop, Chicago couldn’t have been painted in a better light. That’s a stark contrast from soaring murder rates and a historic debt crisis, so it was a resounding success from my view. The weather and great amenitites were a huge boon, but the NFL Draft hype machine could probably be successful being held in Chernobyl.

With no commitment to Chicago beyond 2016, will the league begin a long residency here like the one it had in New York? Or will the NFL soon flock to what’s once again its second-largest market, Los Angeles, or elsewhere?

FINLEY: Like Chicago’s best actors and fast food, the NFL will move out West eventually. The only question is, will that be in 2017, when Chicago’s contract is up, or in 2019, when the Rams complete the great Pyramid of

Inglewood? My impression always has been that the draft would leave Chicago after 2016, but maybe the Los Angeles timeline helps them keep it for another cycle. Like NFL games have become, the draft is a great television spectacle and a so-so in-person event, but Draft Town is changing that. To put fans – many of whom can drive in from other NFL markets – in Grant Park on a spring day is a beautiful thing. Arthur, is this Chicago’s Super Bowl? And what about that game, anyway?

ARKUSH: For the sake of Bears’ brass and fans, let’s hope not, but as for hosting it, we both know an outdoor Super Bowl in the NFL’s second smallest stadium isn’t happening. I suppose the draft, which allows the city to show off for an event it’s better suited to host, is decent consolation.

There are some interesting Chicago draft angles, too, with former Bear Jeff Fisher’s Rams desperate move up to No. 1 and local product Laquon Treadwell poised to potentially be the first wideout selected. What other Chicago story lines exist? And could a draft coup for the Bears make contending for the upcoming Super Bowl achievable?

FINLEY: The Bears are more than one draft away from thinking Super Bowl, but a decent one this year

could have them poised to sneak into the bottom half of the playoffs. Ryan Pace fared about as well as a GM whose No. 1 pick sat out all year could possibly expect, landing keepers in Eddie Goldman, Jeremy Langford and Adrian Amos. I’m a believer that the best way to draft well is to take as many bites at the apple as possible, and Pace has nine picks from which to work – or from which to trade. Notre Dame tackle Ronnie Stanley and wide receiver Will Fuller qualify as Chicago story lines, sure, but nothing would captivate the city like a bold Bears draft pick. Got any bold predictions for what the Bears will do, Arthur?

ARKUSH: I predict the Bears will draft good players with great athleticism, versatility and football character, said every GM, ever.

Seriously, Ezekiel Elliott at No. 11 might be viewed as bold by some, as we all know about the changing RB landscape, but what better way to bolster Chicago’s post-Matt Forte backfield outlook than with another marvelous three-down back, with ties to the Bears? If Elliott is gone, like I expect, reaching slightly for a starting five-technique like Kevin Dodd (one-year producer) or Robert Nkemdiche (underachiever; forget the strong football character part) would punctuate the front-7 rebuild boldly.

NFC NORTH REPORT

13

BY ARTHUR ARKUSH

DETROIT LIONS (10 picks, including No. 16 overall)

Biggest needs: OL, DE, WR Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley won’t be mistaken for Calvin Johnson, but combined with Golden Tate, Eric Ebron and Theo Riddick, the newcomer wideouts can help fill the mega void created by Johnson’s retirement. Answers at right tackle and center on one of the NFL’s weakest O-lines are less apparent. Even if Riley Reiff kicks across the line, a left tackle is needed, and center Travis Swanson was the worst member of Detroit’s disappointing front five.

DE Ezekiel Ansah is an absolute terror, improving each season culminating with his first Pro Bowl nod in 2015. Devin Taylor also had his best campaign and Wallace Gilberry was a solid veteran

signing, but finding another player who can rush and defend the run would maximize Ansah and a defensive tackle room with questions of its own, and address fragile depth after the veteran departures of Jason Jones and Darryl Tapp.

We’re tempted to list strong safety, where Detroit’s top two players – Isa Abdul-Quddus and James Ihedigbo – are gone, replaced by injury-prone Rafael Bush and unproven Tavon Wilson. But replacing a transcendent player like Johnson won’t be easy, and Detroit, now more than ever, clearly lacks a true, big-bodied burner capable of dictating coverages and getting on top of defenses.

Kevin Dodd

Five players who make sense at No. 16: OT Taylor Decker, Ohio State OT Jack Conklin, Michigan State DE Kevin Dodd, Clemson DT Sheldon Rankins, Louisville WR Laquon Treadwell, Mississippi

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (8 picks, including No. 23 overall) Biggest needs: WR, S, OL

LaquonTreadwell Treadwell Laquan

GREEN BAY PACKERS (9 picks, including No. 27 overall) Biggest needs: ILB, DT, OT

The Packers are moving Clay Matthews back to the edge in the hopes of improving his durability and pass-rush production, but without a better contingency plan inside than Jake Ryan and Sam Barrington, the opportunity cost could be significant. Ryan and Barrington are tough and relentless, but lacking in coverage. The Packers need at least one speedy inside ‘backer who can hang with backs and tight ends on short and intermediate routes.

Even if B.J. Raji had opted not to take a playing hiatus in 2016 and re-signed in Green Bay, the Packers would still be thin (figuratively, not literally) up front. Without Raji and with ascending Mike Pennel serving a four-game suspension to

Rick Spielman has been one of the NFL’s better drafters in recent years, but his focus will be on correcting two high-profile draft misses – Cordarrelle Patterson and Matt Kalil.

Wonder what the receiver prototype Minnesota covets looks like? On paper, it’s Patterson: big and strong with lethal long speed and run-after-catch ability. But Patterson has tantalized instead of taking advantage of his opportunities, relegating him to simply being a dynamic returner after it appeared he was on pace for a formidable triple-threat role as a rookie. Spielman landed a Round 5 gem in Stefon Diggs last offseason. Now finding a physical gamebreaker to play outside becomes paramount for Diggs’ and, more importantly, Teddy Bridgewater’s growth.

begin the year, the Packers are likely to tap into a rich interior D-line draft – perhaps early – in search of someone who can help their No. 26 run ‘D’ and, ideally, also provide some push.

Although Green Bay returns its top seven O-linemen for a group that, when healthy, is one of the NFL’s better units, Don Barclay was exposed badly when asked to step in on both edges.

J.C. Tretter fared better, but Ted Thompson could look ahead to 2017, when 60 percent of the starting unit – Josh Sitton, David Bakhtiari and T.J. Lang – hits free agency unless new contracts are signed.

Five players who make sense at No. 27: DT Andrew Billings, Baylor NT Austin Johnson, Penn State ILB Reggie Ragland, Alabama LB-S Darron Lee, Ohio State OLB Emmanuel Ogbah, Oklahoma State

Harrison Smith might be the NFL’s best allaround safety east of Seattle. His new running mate, Michael Griffin, is an upgrade over Andrew Sendejo, yet Griffin is 31 and on a one-year deal. Locking up Smith is Spielman’s No. 1 nondraft priority and finding his future sidekick should be fairly high on his remaining list.

The 2015 wild-card team boasts one of the league’s most talented and deepest rosters, allowing them to look beyond 2016. It’s necessary when it comes to Kalil and C John Sullivan, whose performance and health, respectively, could signal the end of their Vikings tenures after the season.

Five players who make sense at No. 23: WR Laquon Treadwell, Mississippi WR Josh Doctson, TCU S-OLB Su’a Cravens, USC S Darian Thompson, Boise State C Ryan Kelly, Alabama
