Mold inspections are not just for basements

My lunch, like a lot of things about me, is pretty predictable. I’ve been eating the same lunch for years.

Two slices of deli turkey and a slice of mild cheddar cheese on wheat bread, followed by an apple and a yogurt. The big change in the past three months has been a switch in cheese, from Swiss to cheddar, and I forget the reason for the switch. I think it had something to do with the store being out of Swiss, so my good wife selected cheddar, and I liked it.

It’s pretty boring, I know, and shouldn’t I be getting tired of it? On the weekends, I’ll change it up a little and toast the bread. That’s called living on the edge.

I’m really at a loss as to what I would do differently. Peanut butter and jelly? I’m out of ideas.

I get stuck in these ruts, at least that is what other people would call them. I wear the same colored clothes to work every day. I’ve been using the same backpack for eight years, and pack it the same way every morning and empty it the same way every evening. I park in the same spot. I listen to the same radio station. I drive the same way to work, although there is an alternate route I could take. I’m predictable.

I prefer Roman Meal bread, an “American Original Since 1912,” and if I had been born in 1900, I probably still would be eating Roman Meal bread for lunch to this day. That’s how bad it is.

And I kind of go through the motions each morning, pulling two slices of bread from the bag, then going to the refrigerator for lunch meat and cheese, and yogurt and an apple. Then I put the cheese on the bread, followed by the lunch meat, then I reseal both of the packages and put them back in the refrigerator. Then I put the sandwich in a resealable sandwich bag.

Then I put it all in my backpack. I also pack two string cheese and a package of cheese crackers for snacks.

I do all of this without barely thinking. Just another thing to get done to get ready for work.

But the other day, while I was going through the motions of making my lunch, my good wife noticed there was mold growing on the crust of my bread. This was before I got the turkey and cheese. And my stomach kind of turned. I’m not sure I would have noticed it.

There it was, dark green and furry, and about an inch long. I wondered: Was that there yesterday and I missed it? Or did the bread turn

VIEWS Dick Peterson overnight into something inedible? I threw the bread slices away, and I got rid of the rest of the bag of bread, which was almost used up, and pulled out a fresh loaf.

I thought preservatives were supposed to protect us. This isn’t the first time this has happened. Maybe once or twice in the past year I’ve run across moldy bread and caught it in time.

I’ve often wondered whether eating a little mold would make you sick. I mean, there wasn’t that much on the bread, but it was enough to make me sick looking at it. But would it really make me sick if I accidentally ate it?

I went to the Incredible Internet and found my answer. In a word, yes. Mold can contain bacteria and toxins that can cause food poisoning and make you sick to your stomach. You may even develop a headache if you are allergic to mold.

What I really was hoping to read was that a little mold was good for the digestive system and completely harmless. In fact, I thought we might be encouraged to ingest a little mold every now and again. But that’s not the case.

Not only does it look ugly, it is ugly to your body.

I’m the primary sandwich eater at home, and it takes a while to get through a loaf of bread.

By the end of a bag – it might take up to two weeks – the bread starts getting hard around the edges and doesn’t taste nearly as good as bread from a fresh loaf. But you eat it anyway, because it would be a waste to throw out what is entirely good bread. By good, I mean it’s not moldy.

But why is it that bread sometimes grows mold? This last brush with mold, and me being unaware of it, has made me paranoid about my sandwich bread. Now, I inspect all four sides of the bread for mold when I take it out of the bag, putting a little tension into an otherwise dull morning ritual. It’s called living dangerously.

Huntley, Crystal Lake are only area agencies staffed mostly by career firefighters

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – As a part-time firefighter, Jonathan Fleck isn’t eligible to receive health insurance through the Huntley Fire Protection District.

But after seven years, he is getting a little help.

Along with the Cary and the Rutland-Dundee fire protection districts, and the Sugar Grove Fire Department, Huntley is going to split a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide part-time firefighters with an incentive to stay over the next four years.

As long as he completes six hours of training and works six shifts a month, Fleck and other part-timers in Huntley will receive a $75 monthly stipend that goes directly to health care, child care, college education or a retirement plan.

“I have health insurance through my wife’s company and it’s $100,” Fleck said. “So this is a little extra money. It’s just helping my family out.”

Because part-time firefighters receive lower pay, no benefits and fewer perks than their full-time counterparts, local fire officials have to get creative when it comes to retention and recruitment. For some, that means offering a financial incentive, while others choose to tout their ability to prepare firefighters for a full-time job in the field.

Huntley Chief Ken Caudle said his department consists of about 30 part-timers and 58 full-time firefighters. Ideally, Caudle wants to have 35 part-time employees, but he struggles to find candidates who want to go through rigorous and time-consuming training to work a shift a week as a firefighter/paramedic for about $17 or $18 an hour.

It’s a problem local departments share because they often are working with the same part-time employees.

“A lot of our guys have become full time in other departments, but they will come in on their day off to protect their own community,” Cary Fire Chief Jeffrey Macko said. “This gives them a little incentive to stay.”

Under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant, they hope to be able keep and build

Part-time Huntley firefighter/paramedic Anthony Pompy drags a weighted hose during a training session at the department’s annex building on Main Street. The Huntley, Cary and Rutland Dundee fire districts recently received a grant that will be used to offer benefits to part-time workers who meet certain criteria to try to retain them. They also will use the money to recruit new part-timers. on their pool of part-timers.

“The goal of the entire grant is to keep who we have and make them better at what we do,” Caudle said.

“They are part of the family.”

Only 8 percent of the fire departments in the country were staffed entirely by career firefighters as of January, and none of them are in McHenry County, according to the U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Department Census.

Most of the fire departments in McHenry County are made up mostly of part-time firefighters, based on census classifications. Only two departments in the county – the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department and the Huntley Fire Protection District – are mostly career, meaning 51 percent to 99 percent of their staff are full time.

At the Richmond Fire Protection District, Chief Rick Gallas is the only full-time firefighter in a station that’s staffed 24 hours a day. Adding more full-time firefighters isn’t an option because of tax revenue, he said.

See FIREFIGHTERS, page A6

Johnsburg Junior High School teacher starts archery program

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – A new archery program started by a Johnsburg Junior High teacher has helped facilitate lessons beyond just shooting an arrow.

Erin Hiller, a sixth-grade science teacher, went to a science convention over the summer where she connected with the Northern Illinois chapter of Safari Club International, a hunter’s rights and wildlife conservation organization.

Thanks to a $3,500 donation from the club, Hiller Erin Hiller was able to start an archery program at the junior high, which this year has attracted about 40 students. A group of archers in the program went Saturday to a tournament hosted by the National Archery in the Schools Program.

One student was eighth-grader Nick Baird, who said it’s a sport that primarily encourages self improvement rather than competition against others.

“I like that it’s not super competitive and it’s really more of a social sport,” he said.

Sixth-grader Holly Schmid of Johnsburg was one of the students who took up archery right after Hiller brought it to the

“You have to have a lot of focus in archery,” Schmid said. “It has kind of helped me with other things, too.

“I’ve always been able to focus in class, but it has made me a little more focused at home when I need to get things like homework done.”

That was exactly Hiller’s goal when she

started the program. She already sponsors the Johnsburg Outdoor Club, which facilitates a slew of other activities, such as kayaking.

Archery, she said, is a lifelong skill that would be new and different than anything students have been able to participate in.

“A lot of what I talk about is being consistent and staying focused – focused on your goals, as well as your target,” she said.

Tryon files bill to ban running for board chairman, member at same time

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Inspired by the first-ever race for McHenry County Board chairman, state Rep. Mike Tryon filed a bill to prevent someone from running for both board chairman and board member at the same time.

House Bill 6418, if passed, would forbid someone from holding both offices simultaneously, as County Board member Michael Walkup is attempting to do.

Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, is running for his board seat as well as against incumbent Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake.

Tryon, who had served as County Board chairman before his 2004 election to the General Assembly, called the situation an attempted “power grab” that needs to be stopped. Because state law does not allow an elected chairman in a county the size of McHenry to vote on anything, Walkup said he wants to hold both seats so he can still cast votes on important issues.

“Board members decided the new chairman would have supervisory powers rather than decision-making powers as they relate to typical County Board votes. It was never their intention that one person would serve as a member and as the chair simultaneously. We need to close that loophole,” said Tryon, R-Crystal Lake.

If approved by legislators, the law will not affect this election – Walkup cannot legally be removed as a candidate. But should he prevail and win both seats, if Walkup seeks re-election in 2020, he would have to choose to run for one seat or the other.

Walkup called the bill a red herring, an effort to sabotage his campaign. He said what he is doing is no different from the former power setup on the County Board in which the chairman also is a voting member.

“Was it a ‘power grab’ when [Tryon] was chairman and he voted on issues

• FIREFIGHTERS

Continued from page A3 But he’s got a system to make his department work.

“Our goal is to get them in, get them training and use them for five to seven years depending on the hiring process for career departments,” Gallas said.

“Then we’re going to lose them.”

Gallas is in the middle of his annual recruitment drive to find five to 10 candidates within a 10-mile radius of town who can go through the department’s

for his district? Is it a power grab that Joe Gottemoller does the same thing?”

Walkup said.

He also argued that existing statute proves that state lawmakers wanted to give county boards the option. State law allows for county board chairmen to be popularly elected to two-year instead of four-year terms, provided the chairman also is a sitting member of the board. County Board members rejected that option, among other things because state law does not address what to Michael do if a candidate wins the Walkup chairmanship, but loses the race for his or her board seat.

Tryon, who is endorsing Gottemoller in the election, said he filed the bill of his own accord and was not asked by anybody to do so.

This election is the first in which McHenry County voters will directly elect the chairman, following a successful 2014 referendum ending the long-standing practice of board members electing the chairman from among themselves following each November election. Gottemoller, the last chairman to be chosen by the 24-member board, was elected chairman in 2014.

The size of the board after the election will depend on its outcome. Should Gottemoller be elected, he said he will give up his board seat and the board will be 25 members once a replacement is named. Should Walkup win both races, the board will stay at 24 members. The County Board amended its rules last year to make sure that holding two offices will not result in a salary and benefits above the $82,200 salary of the chairman.

A tangled web of state statutes dictate which elected offices can be held simultaneously and which ones cannot – for example, a McHenry County Board member also can hold an elected position in township government, but cannot serve on a city council or a school

Tryon’s bill also makes a change clarifying that elected chairmen would be able to vote to break a tie. The way the law reads now, only elected chairmen in counties with more than 450,000 people can break ties on the board.

2 face off in race for 22nd Judicial Circuit Judge

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County voters this year have the rare opportunity to select a 22nd Judicial Circuit Judge.

James Cowlin, 59, is running to retain the position he has held since September, when he was officially sworn in after the Illinois Supreme Court appointed him to fill the remainder of retired Judge Gordon Graham’s term.

Cowlin had been an associate judge since Demetri 2007.

Tsilimigras Challenging him in the Republican primary is Assistant State’s Attorney Demetri Tsilimigras, 45, who has been the deputy chief of the McHenry County State’s Attorn e y ’ s O f f i c e C r i m i - James nal Division for eight S. Cowlin years.

Cowlin, a third-generation McHenry County judge and Crystal Lake resident, touted his experience hearing a range of traffic, civil, family and misdemeanor cases, as well as his experience working those cases as a lawyer from 1982 to 2007.

“I’m a proven commodity,” Cowlin said. “I have been on the bench eight years. My opponent has never sat on the bench. There is no guesswork on whether or not I make a good judge.”

Tsilimigras, however, said he believes he has more experience with criminal cases and jury trials than

his opponent. In his current role, Tsilimigras supervises seven prosecutors and reviews misdemeanor cases. A Cary resident, he previously worked as an assistant state’s attorney in Kane County.

“I have the trial experience that’s needed, but I worked on the other side of the bench,” Tsilimigras said.

“Now, I can take those experiences and use that when I’m deciding cases.”

Illinois State Bar Association members favor Cowlin based on the results of a judicial advisory poll.

Cowlin receive more support than Tsilimigras in integrity, impartiality, legal ability, temperament, court management, health and sensitivity.

Overall, 89.19 percent of members polled said they believe Cowlin met the requirements of the office, while 43.9 percent of members believed Tsilimigras did. Ultimately, Cowlin came recommended and Tsilimigras did not.

Both support implementing cameras in the courtroom with some safeguards. Cowlin said he is in favor as long as there are set policies that protect jurors, minors and public safety concerns. Likewise, Tsilimigras said trial judges should have authority over video and audio recordings.

To improve courtroom efficiencies, Tsilimigras called for case management orders and deadlines on every case. Cowlin said a judge should set the tone early on in the case by holding case management conferences.

The winner faces an uncontested race in the November election unless Democrats caucus in a candidate.

The term is for six years.

mine whether a financial oversight panel is necessary.

Districts are judged based on five metrics: fund balance to revenue ratio, expenses to revenue ratio, days cash on hand, percent of short-term borrowing ability, and percent of long-term debt margin remaining.

Superintendent Dan Johnson, who said the long-term debt piece is what spurred the designation, wasn’t surprised to receive ISBE’s letter.

“In order to do this modernizing of buildings, we had to borrow longterm debt,” Johnson said. “That hurt our ratings score with the state.”

By a margin of 24 votes, the district passed a $41 million referendum in March 2014 for the ongoing facilities project. Johnson said the district sold those bonds this year.

The project is turning the junior high into a third- through eighthgrade school while the high school is getting an additional 35,000 square feet of space. As of Thursday, Johnson said it was about 30 percent complete.

District 12 has taken measures in recent years to try to prepare for predicted financial stress, Johnson said.

A reduction in certified and support staff members was made a couple years ago, in addition to a reduction in the technology and building budgets, he said.

Johnson said the watch status is frustrating because, while the project has incurred debt, the long-term benefits will help the district become more efficient.

“We’re going to have energy effi-

cient buildings – so reducing our expenditures for energy and gas – and we won’t have to spend huge dollars on building and maintenance,” he said.

The other three financial categories are recognition, the highest category of financial strength; review, which is the next highest and means the districts will be monitored for potential downward trends; and warning, which elicits close monitoring and a review to determine whether a financial oversight panel is necessary.

District 12 was estimated to be on financial watch status for the past two annual financial reports; warning status in 2012 and 2013; and on review status in 2011. The last time it received a recognition status was in the 2004 report, according to ISBE data.

The most recent reports from 2015 show all the other McHenry County school districts, including Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300, are estimated to be in financial recognition status in 2016.

JOHNSBURG – The superintendent of Johnsburg School District 12 said recent notification about being on “financial watch” status – a state designation indicating financial decline – is a result of the long-term borrowing necessary for an ongoing building project.

District 12 is one of six districts that received a letter from the Illinois State Board of Education regarding its financial watch status. The other five districts are in Cook, LaSalle, Grundy, Madison and Will counties.

Laine Evans, ISBE spokeswoman, said placement on financial watch status is based on fiscal 2015 data. Assuming state board approval, District 12 will immediately go into financial watch until March 2017.

One of four financial designations, watch status is the lowest and means the district will be closely monitored and must offer various information such as financial projections, budgeting and personnel inventories. It also means there will be a review to deter-

Five-car ‘chain reaction’ crash sends one to hospital

CRYSTAL LAKE – One person was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock and another was treated at the scene of a five-car crash Saturday at Route 14 and Keith Avenue, a fire official said.

Crystal Lake Fire Department Lt. Jim Sustek said the crash at 1:20 p.m. appeared to begin with a rear-end collision that caused a chain reaction.

Both patients treated had only minor injuries, he said. Several others were involved in the crash, but were not injured.

Two of the cars had heavy damage.

With the help of the Crystal Lake Police Department, officials were able to get the cars off the road quickly and not disrupt traffic, Sustek said.

Village declines to expand general video gaming policy

After the Committee of the Whole discussed the issue last Tuesday, the Village Board denied a video gaming license to the Tobacco Stop store at 688 Northwest Highway on a 4-3 vote.

Simmons said village staff has relayed that policy to inquiring businesses, but posed the question because

Centerville Station remains closed Owner says ‘slight chance’ business will get video gaming license

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Although the business has not yet terminated its lease with the city, Centerville Station in Woodstock has closed, owner Dan Hart said.

The business at 90 W. Church St. had

been open for about a year. After its application for a video gaming license was denied, Hart said the business was in danger of closing because alcohol sales and video gaming revenue was projected to be the business’ two biggest proceeds.

Hart said he is appealing the video gaming license denial, and there is a “slight chance” it will Dan Hart be overturned. In all likelihood, however, Hart said the business will probably “move on soon.”

“We spent over a year investing in this property, and we just can’t continue

to take the loss,” Hart said.

The cafe and coffee shop is owned by Hart and Christopher Gienko, and Hart said the pair had invested about $85,000 into the business.

Hart said the business has been shut down for a couple of months.

The business faced challenges when Union Pacific, which leases the majority of the property to the city, rejected the business proposal that included having a deli, cafe, liquor sales and video gaming at the depot.

Union Pacific said it had safety concerns with alcohol being sold at the depot.

SUSAN DAWSON-KRONE Born: May 16, 1943 Died: Feb. 27, 2016

Susan “Sue” Dawson-Krone, passed away on February 27, 2016, from respiratory failure.

She was born in Massillon, Ohio, on May 16, 1943, and graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1961. In 1964, she came to California and lived in Rialto and San Bernardino where she attended Valley College majoring in business and real estate. Sue’s predominant career was with Standard Mortgage Company where she started out in loan servicing and escrow, then ultimately to Executive Vice President.

In 1990, Sue resigned from Standard Mortgage to pursue her life-long passion for animal welfare. Having served in volunteer positions for 20 years with the Humane Society, Sue began her new career as executive director of the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley.

At that time, the organization had a low cost spay-neuter hospital and part time education program in the city schools. Sue expanded the education program to a fulltime position, initiated a cruelty investigation department, opened Paws & Browse Thrift Shop, and spearheaded their mobile spay/neuter - Spaymobile. Without the help of her mentor, Joyce Martin, good friend, and founder of the humane and so many others, none of this would have come to fruition.

Sue officially worked for the society for 8 years and volunteered for 33 years.

She retired from the Board in 2011 but continued to advocate for animal welfare until her death.

During her career, she served on the Board of Directors of the California Escrow Association, Highland Senior Center, San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce, was President and board member of the Highland Avenue Area Business Association and has been an active member of Rotary and Rotary North Club for 22 years Sue is survived by her beloved husband, Dr. Jim Krone DVM, with whom she spent 10 wonderful years. She is also survived by two sisters, Deanna Williams of San Bernardino and Betty Ware (Roland) of Massillon, Ohio; 3 nieces, Michelle Williams, of Stevenson

Ranch, Julie Williams of San Bernardino, and Dawn Williams of Monrovia, CA; and nephew, Jody Caprita of Massillon, Ohio. She is also survived by two great nieces, Taylor Stapleton and Alexandria Williams; and one great-great nephew, Kai Michael Glenn. In addition to family, Sue is survived by many friends who will surely miss her.

Sue is resting in Heaven with her little four legged pal, Gilda; she is also survived by her loving Cat Krone.

At Sue’s request, there will not be a service.

If you choose, memorial donations in Sue’s name, may be sent to the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley, 374 West Orange Show Rd., San Bernardino, CA. 92408: OR Kaiser Hospice, 17284 Slover Ave., Dept 105, Fontana, Ca. 92337 Our deepest gratitude to Kaiser Hospice Team who took such wonderful care of our Sue.

STATE

Challengers look to stop Duckworth in primary The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – In the Democrats’ race for a chance to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, the question has always been whether U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s two opponents can overcome her advantages as a sitting congresswoman with name recognition, more funding and a personal war story.

Former Chicago Urban League CEO Andrea Zopp and state Sen. Napoleon Harris will at least try – something other Democratic members of Illinois’ congressional delegation considered but ultimately decided against. And while Duckworth also enters the March 15 primary with party establishment backing, Zopp and Harris say they bring valuable things Duckworth does not.

The primary will make clear what’s expected to be one of the year’s most highly contested U.S. Senate races, with Democrats trying to retake control of the Senate targeting Kirk’s seat in left-leaning Illinois as one of their best prospects.

One of the few polls conducted on the race, by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, showed Duckworth with support from 52 percent of self-identified Democratic primary voters, while Zopp and

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Family, friends of ex-FBI agent demand his release

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The family and colleagues of a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran nine years ago while on a CIA mission expressed anger and disappointment at a rally Saturday that he wasn’t part of a January prisoner exchange with Tehran.

Several hundred people attended the rally for Robert Levinson, 67, who disappeared from Iran’s Kish Island in March 2007. A 2013 Associated Press investigation revealed that the married father of seven was working for the CIA on an unauthorized intelligence-gathering mission to glean information about Iran’s nuclear program.

Prosecutors: Gyrocopter nearly collided with plane

Prosecutors said a Florida man who landed a gyrocopter outside the U.S. Capitol as political protest last spring was seconds away from potentially colliding with a Delta flight that had taken off from Reagan National Airport. In a court filing Friday, prosecutors said Douglas Hughes flew his one-person aircraft almost directly into the oncoming flight path of the 150-person turbojet last April, risking the death of “countless people.” Hughes, who agreed to a plea deal in November, is set to be sentenced April 13. Prosecutors are asking for 10 months in prison.

Cruz, Trump split GOP wins; Sanders, Clinton divide states The ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA, Kan. – In a split decision, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump each captured two victories in Saturday’s four-state round of voting, fresh evidence that there’s no quick end in sight to the fractious GOP race for president. On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders notched wins in Nebraska and Kansas, while front-runner Hillary Clinton snagged Louisiana, another divided verdict from the American people.

Cruz claimed Kansas and Maine, and declared it “a manifestation of a real shift in momentum.” Trump, still the front-runner in the hunt for delegates, bagged Louisiana and Kentucky. Despite strong support from the GOP establishment, Florida Sen. Marco RuDonald bio had another disappointing Trump night, raising serious questions about his viability in the race.

Trump, at a post-election news conference in West Palm Beach, Florida, declared himself primed for a head-on contest between himself and Cruz, and called for Rubio to drop out.

“I would like to take on Ted one-on-one,” he said, ticking off Ted Cruz a list of big states where he said Cruz had no chance. “That would be so much fun.”

Cruz, a tea party favorite, said the results should send a loud message that the GOP contest for the nomination is far from over, and that the status quo is in trouble.

“The scream you hear, the howl that comes from Washington D.C., is utter terror at what we the people are doing together,” he declared during a rally in Idaho, which votes in three days.

With the GOP race in chaos, establishment figures frantically are looking for any way to derail Trump, perhaps at a contested convention if no candidate can get enough delegates to lock up the nomination in advance. Party leaders – including 2012 nominee Mitt Romney and 2008 nominee Sen. John McCain – are fearful a Trump victory would lead to a disastrous November election, with losses up and down the GOP ticket.

“Everyone’s trying to figure out how to stop Trump,” the billionaire marveled at an afternoon rally in Orlando, Florida, where he had supporters raise their hands and swear to vote for him.

Trump prevailed in the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been critical of the front-runner for incendiary comments on Muslims and a slow disavowal of white supremacist groups.

Rubio, who finished no better than third anywhere and has only one win so far, insisted the upcoming schedule of primaries is “better for us,” and renewed his vow to win his home state of Florida, claiming all 99 delegates there on March 15.

But Cruz suggested it was time for Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to go.

“As long as the field remains divided, it gives Donald an advantage,” he said.

Campaigning in Detroit, Clinton said she was thrilled to add to her delegate count and expected to do well in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday.

“No matter who wins this Democratic nomination,” she said, “I have not the slightest doubt that on our worst day we will be infinitely better than the Republicans on their best day.”

Tara Evans, a 52-year-old Hillary quilt maker from Bellevue, NeClinton braska, said she was caucusing for Clinton, and happy to know that the former first lady could bring her husband back to the White House.

“I like Bernie, but I think Hillary had the best chance of winning,” she said.

Sanders won by solid marBernie gins in Nebraska and Kansas, Sanders giving him seven victories so far in the nominating season, compared to 11 for Clinton, who still maintains a commanding lead in competition for delegates.

Sanders, in an interview with The Associated Press, pointed to his wide margins of victory and called it evidence that his political revolution is coming to pass.

Stressing the important of voter turnout, he said, “when large numbers of people come – working people, young people who have not been involved in the political process – we will do well and I think that is bearing out tonight.”

Count Wichita’s Barb Berry among those who propelled Cruz to victory in Kansas, where GOP officials reported extremely high turnout.

Overall, Cruz has won seven states so far, to 12 for Trump.

“I believe that he is a true fighter for conservatives,” said Berry, a 67-year-old retired AT&T manager. As for Trump, Berry said, “he is a little too narcissistic.”

Clinton picked up at least 51 delegates to Sanders’ 45 in Saturday’s contests, with delegates yet to be allocated.

Overall, Clinton had at least 1,117 delegates to Sanders’ 477, including superdelegates – members of Congress, governors and party officials who can support the candidate of their choice. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

Seeds of GOP splinter in opposition to Obama

By DONNA CASSATA

President Barack Obama signs the health care bill March 23, 2010, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. Republicans can blame their united stand against Obama for the break-up of their party. Conservatives’ gut-level resistance to all things Obama – the man, his authority, his policies – gave birth to the tea party movement that powered the GOP to political success in multiple states and historic congressional majorities.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republicans can blame their united stand against President Barack Obama for their party’s splintering.

Conservatives’ gut-level resistance to all things Obama – the man, his authority, his policies – gave birth to the tea party movement that powered the GOP to political success in multiple states and historic congressional majorities. Yet contained in the movement and its triumphs were the seeds of destruction, evident now in the party’s fracture over presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

Obama’s policies, from the ambitious 2010 law overhauling the health care system to moving unilaterally on immigration, roiled conservatives who decried his activist agenda and argued about constitutional overreach.

“Quasi-socialist,” says Tea Party Express.

Republicans rode that anger to majority control of the House in 2010 and an eye-popping net gain of 63 seats as voters elected tea partyers and political outsiders. Four years later, the GOP claimed the Senate, too.

For all the numbers, though, Republicans were unable to roll back Obama administration policies or defeat the Democratic president in 2012, further infuriating the GOP base.

Now the party of Abraham Lincoln is engaged in a civil war, pitting establishment Republicans frightened about a election rout in November against the unpredictable Trump, who has capitalized on voter animosity toward Washington and politicians.

“There would be no Donald Trump without Barack Obama,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. No fan of Trump, Graham argued that resentment of Obama plus his own party’s attitude toward immigrants are responsible for the deep divide and the

billionaire businessman’s surge.

Mainstream Republicans are hardpressed to figure out a way forward with Trump, who has pledged to build a wall on the Mexican border, bar Muslims from entering the United States and equivocated over former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s support. The candidate has assembled a growing coalition of blue-collar workers, highschool educated and those craving a no-nonsense candidate.

“I think they are at a loss to try to reconcile this nihilist wing of the Republican Party with conservative principles,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate.

The health care fight proves illustrative.

The disaffected Americans embracing Trump echo the angry voices that filled town halls in the summer of 2009 as fearful voters taunted lawmakers over efforts to overhaul health care.

Obama and Democrats were undaunted, pushing ahead on a remake of the system despite unified Republican opposition.

In January 2010, thanks to tea party backing and conservative outrage, Republican Scott Brown won a special election in Massachusetts, claiming the seat that liberal Sen. Ted Kennedy had held for 47 years.

That sent people a message that “if you could win in blue Massachusetts, we could win in my state,” said Sal Russo, co-founder and chief strategist of Tea Party Express. “That changed the movement from a protest movement to a political movement.”

Three months later, in March 2010, Democrats rammed Obama’s health reform through Congress as mobs of protesters chanted outside the Capitol.

Not a single Republican backed it.

“Completely partisan,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo.

That November, the tea party propelled Republicans shouting repeal health care to victory, among them Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky. They defeated establishment GOP candidates more likely to compromise in Washington. Dozens of other tea party candidates captured House seats; many were making their first foray in politics.

Losers in 2010 were some of the moderate and conservative Democrats who had backed the health care law.

Along with Obama’s re-election in 2012 came another group of congressional tea partyers, including Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. The movement’s strength ran headlong into Washington reality: Obama was president and Democrats still controlled the Senate.

Efforts by Cruz and House conservatives to torpedo the health care law led to a partial, 16-day government shutdown in 2013.

Educators update anti-bullying messages to protect Muslims The ASSOCIATED PRESS MERIDEN, Conn. – In response to a surge in reports of anti-Muslim bullying – students being called terrorists, having their head scarves ripped off and facing bias, even from teachers – schools are expanding on efforts deployed in the past to help protect gays, racial minorities and other marginalized groups.

Civil rights organizations and other advocates have been working more closely with schools since the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, stirred a new backlash that led the U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Education Department to urge vigilance on the bullying of Muslims.

While stressing that students have rights under the law, and that offenses should be reported, speakers at schools and mosques have also discussed how to create an inclusive culture, how Muslims are scapegoated for attacks and how non-Muslims can be allies to their peers.

“Muslim kids get bulled, gay kids get bullied because other kids are uncomfortable with them, and they show it,” said Bill Howe, a multicultural education specialist who spoke at an anti-bullying forum in December for children at Meriden’s Baitul Aman mosque.

“That causes Muslim students to retreat, to be more isolated. They need to develop critical social skills so they can build relationships.”

One mother who attended the forum, put on by the office of the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, said she was relieved to learn help is available.

Shazia Choudry’s 13-year-old daughter, Maria, transferred recently from a public school after students repeatedly grabbed away her head scarf, but be-

came frightened one day in January at her private Roman Catholic school when seventh-grade classmates peppered her, the only Muslim student, with questions about the Paris attacks.

“They were saying, ‘Did you hear about this before the terror attack?’ And I was like, ‘No I didn’t,’” Maria said.

Saleha Qureshi, a member of the mosque, said that in the past several months, her son has been called a racial slur and a “terrorist” by his eighth-grade classmates at a public middle school.

Her son has grown anxious, she said, but does not want her to take matters to the principal. She checks up on him daily, letting him vent to her, but she’s not sure what more she ought to do.

“I’m just hoping things will change for him,” Qureshi said.

The Anti-Defamation League updated its anti-bias training activities after the Paris attacks to incorporate Islam.

One lesson plan tailored for junior and senior high school students has them discuss ways in which Muslimsand Syrian refugees are being scapegoated as a result of the attacks. Another encourages students to discuss connections between stereotypes about Muslim people and acts of bigotry, as well as ways they can supportMuslims.

Education officials in most of the ADL’s 27 U.S. regional offices have been reporting anti-Muslim incidents, and schools have been requesting materials to help deal with the bullying, said Jinnie Spiegler, the organization’s curriculum director. Among other efforts, the agency participated in a town hall meeting at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, where officials said some Muslim students were being called names.

A member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Connecticut walks past the Baitul Aman mosque Nov. 17 in Meriden, Conn., where police and the FBI were investigating reports of multiple gunshots fired at the mosque. The shooting was prosecuted as a federal hate crime. The office of the U.S. attorney for Connecticut held an anti-bullying forum three weeks after the shooting for children at the mosque.

DETROIT – When it comes to water, only about half of Americans are very confident in the safety of what’s flowing from their tap, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll, which found that trust is even weaker among minorities and people with lower incomes.

The lead-contaminated water in Flint, Michigan, has been in the headlines for months, and more than half of Americans believe it’s a sign of widespread problems in the U.S. About seven in 10 drink tap water, but about half of them first run it through a filter.

“Of all the water systems in the nation, Flint can’t be the only one that’s faulty,” said Elsbeth Jayne, 28, of Christiansburg, Virginia, who’s very comfortable with her own tap water.

Joseph Johnson, 46, of Brooklyn, New York, said he only drinks bottled water, spending about $8 a month on two cases. He’s among the 30 percent of Americans choosing water off the shelf.

“I’ve always been under the assumption that water wasn’t 100 percent clean. The Flint situation brought more of the story to the surface,” he said Friday.

Flint, with a population of about 100,000, was drawing water from the Flint River for 18 months as a way to save money until a new pipeline to Lake Huron was ready. But the corrosive water leached lead from the city’s old plumbing because certain treatments weren’t added. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, whose administration repeatedly downplayed the lead threat, now calls it a “disaster.”

No level of lead in the human body is considered safe, especially in children. The river water also may have been a source of Legionnaires’ disease, which killed at least nine people in the region.

The poll found only 47 percent of Americans say they’re extremely or very confident about the safety of their drinking water, while 33 percent say they’re moderately confident and 18 percent are not very confident or not at all.

ENDORSEMENT

U.S. president, Republican: Rubio Donald Trump enters Illinois’ March 15 primary as the clear front-runner for the GOP nomination for president.

He’s dominated most of the primaries and caucuses to date, and he has significant leads over his rivals in national polling.

While he’s in a strong position, Trump, a billionaire real estate tycoon and reality TV star, still is no guarantee to secure the nomination.

Because of the number of candidates in the field, it’s possible none of the Republican presidential hopefuls will have won the required number of delegates to secure the nomination entering the July 18 start of the GOP convention in Cleveland.

Because Trump is such a polarizing candidate, that could lead to a brokered convention in which delegates are able to change their votes to a different candidate after the first ballot.

Needless to say, this is a vital election year for the country. That’s why Illinois voters should press the reset button on the Republican nomination process.

Trump’s candidacy is rooted in negativity and preys on the understandable anger of frustrated voters.

We understand why voters would welcome a candidate from outside traditional political channels, but Trump is not the answer. He is that angry email you want to send but really shouldn’t. He is that nasty phone message you want to leave but always will regret.

Trump is a bully who’s more apt to name-call and belittle than to discuss policy in any detail. He offers little in the way of substance or leadership.

His plan to build a 1,000-mile-long wall along the Mexican border that’s at least 30 feet tall to keep illegal immigrants out of the U.S., and also to have Mexico pay for it – his most specific policy message, by the way – is, well, laughable.

And let’s face it. Trump isn’t a true Republican. He’s supported liberals and liberal causes throughout his career.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas also is not the answer. Like Trump, Cruz is a

A far-right-wing conservative, Cruz cannot attract the independent voters needed to win a general election against the Democratic nominee. He is beholden to big oil and among the staunchest deniers of the science of climate change.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has the best chance to unite the party and lead it in a new direction. He was elected to the Senate as a tea party candidate but also has worked closely with

members of the Republican establishment.

The son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio can expand the party’s base among Latinos.

Rubio is a policy wonk who focuses on solutions rather than problems.

He delivers an uplifting message about America’s potential and is an advocate for smaller government – he would reduce all federal spending to 2008 levels except for defense. He

supports overhauling what he calls America’s outdated educational system, including increasing vocational training. He supports some sort of legal status for undocumented workers, but only after U.S. borders are secure.

He wants to reform the federal tax code and cap economic regulations.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich also remains in the race.

We endorse Rubio for the Republican nomination for U.S. president.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Gottemoller for chairman

Bates the very best

To the Editor: Twenty years ago, I worked in an office in the McHenry Chamber of Commerce complex as director of the Economic Development Commission.

I observed the fine work chamber presidents did in assisting community businesses. A few years ago, Kay Bates was selected to be chamber president, and she is doing a spectacular job for which local businesses are forever grateful.

Bates now is seeking a position on the County Board in the March 15 election. Other candidates also are running for a seat on the County Board, so let’s elect the very best, Kay Bates, a person with proven ability always working for the best interest of all of us.

Get our house in order

To the Editor: One sure way to lower taxes is to get out of the “gotta have” mindset. I gotta have one-fourth of the county off the tax rolls and into parks and trails with bridges, etc., that have to be built and maintained at taxpayer expense.

We need police, fire protection,

Millers serve township well

To the Editor: In response to derogatory letters I have read in your paper by residents attacking Anna May and Bob Miller, I would like to take this opportunity to defend their integrity.

I am a senior citizen (not a friend or relative) who benefits from the services offered by Algonquin Township, which the Millers provide responsibly.

One benefit is the senior bus. I do not drive and depend on the bus service for all doctor appointments, as well as shopping and trips to the library.

I would not be as independent as I am at 82 years young, and neither would other seniors who need dialysis treatments or wheelchair-bound people. Without the bus service and assistance from the drivers, Dan and David, we would be home-bound. Pace bus will not do this because I would have to walk six blocks to a bus stop, while the senior bus comes to my door.

Someone trying to embarrass the Millers mentioned salaries. They are not out of line with the rest of the area and earn every penny by making sure services provided are run perfectly,

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues.

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days.

Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. The deadline to submit an election-related letter is 5 p.m.

such as snow removal, pothole filling, debris removal and paint, paper, metal and electronic recycling. Mr. Miller deserves triple “A” for how he serves the Algonquin Township. It’s no wonder the other townships want to join ours.

My advice is to come and take a lesson and learn from the pros. Then go back home and clean your house.

Patricia Konetzke Algonquin

Educate yourself, then vote

To the Editor: Whine! Whine! Whine! That seems to be our current universal rallying cry, even more so now that it is an election year. None of us like what the other “guy” is doing, so whine, whine, whine!

Now, while we cannot do much about the weather, we certainly can do something about the quality of our elected officials and making ourselves heard. Very simply and basically, we can educate ourselves on the issues and those running for office, and, then, put our convictions to the test by actually voting. How difficult is that? We’ve got to do better than a 13 percent turnout at the polls.

Here is a proposal that doesn’t interfere with personal party preferences.

Make a sign – “Our Right, Our Responsibility. We vote!” Post it in your front yard.

See if your friends, relatives and anyone else will do the same thing. Get on social media with the same suggestion. Maybe other individuals on your street or in your neighborhood, city and county will do likewise. This could even go national. It is highly visible, low cost and empowering.

at Centegra. During the 12 years the McHenry Community Free Healthcare Clinic existed on West Waukegan Road, she served as the only president of our Board of Directors until our merger with the Family Health Partnership Clinic in 1998. Her leadership was critical in guiding us as the clinic provided free health care to individuals with no health insurance.

I am confident she will bring a fresh voice to the McHenry County Board backed by her experience and integrity gained from her work in the health care field, as well as her background in educational administration from her time with McHenry District 15 School District. I urge those of you in District 3 to cast your vote for Cherie on March 15 (and in November) as the Republican candidate for the McHenry County Board, District 3.

James Mowery McHenry

Cowlin more experienced

To the Editor: I have practiced law in McHenry County for more than 40 years as a prosecutor and a civil practitioner. I have had an opportunity to observe Judge James Cowlin as an attorney in private practice as well as an associate judge.

Judge Cowlin always has possessed the proper intellect and courtroom demeanor. He takes the time to listen to both sides, and his decisions are clearly reasoned.

Contrary to campaign claims, his opponent does not have anywhere near the experience or abilities to be a circuit court judge. I never have seen his opponent put on any jury or bench trial or any dispositive motion in front of any judge.

I highly recommend Judge Cowlin for circuit judge.

To the Editor: Joe Gottemoller is an excellent County Board chairman who deserves to be re-elected.

As a former County Board chairman in Kane County, I appreciate how difficult it is to balance individual board members’ wants and needs with what is best for the residents as a whole.

Gottemoller has found that balance and has achieved great success during his first two years as chairman of the McHenry County Board. From freezing and reducing the county tax levy to reducing the county’s employee headcount, Joe has shown he is a solid leader who works hard to provide value to the taxpayers of McHenry County.

As a state senator, I have enjoyed working with Joe on projects that benefit the Kane and McHenry county regions. He understands how infrastructure improvements and job creation go hand-in-hand and has a great vision for the future of his county.

Please vote Joe on March 15.

good roads and moderate schools, not a performing arts center like Lake Zurich. To give the voters control over their taxes, put all capital expenditures more than, say, $50,000 to a vote twice a year with a line item vote – yes for the school addition, no for the new pool.

I’m retired and do a lot more reading.

I followed Greece and how it borrowed money to pay pensions at age 53. In Greece, you can delay foreclosure of your home for more than 10 years in the courts. Greece borrowed until they couldn’t any more. At one time, their interest cost was 51 percent a year. They want northern Europe to work hard and buy their soon-to-beworthless bonds. They also were going to tax the rich, but the most popular game among the rich was tax avoidance. Many rich moved or at least moved their assets offshore.

Mexico produces about 3.5 million cars a year at a labor cost of $6.50 to $8 an hour. The U.S. produces about 11 million cars at a labor cost of $47 to $55 an hour. Where do you think the next factory will be built?

The sooner we get our house in order, the easier the adjustment will be.

Beer makers turn to Woodstock shop for flavorings About Ethereal Confections

By SARAH STRZALKA editorial@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – If Mary Ervin and Sara Miller had listened to the adage about not mixing business and friends, they wouldn’t be owners of a growing chocolate shop in Woodstock.

Ethereal Confections is a bean-tobar chocolate shop, meaning the business handles every step in the chocolate-making process, from when they receive the beans up until it becomes the chocolate their customers enjoy.

At the farms, the cocoa beans are harvested, fermented and dried before being exported.

Ethereal imports the beans, sorts them by hand and roasts them in a convection oven.

“After they’re roasted and cooled, they’re put in a machine called a winnower that cracks the bean open and separates the bean from the nut meat inside,” Ervin said. “That part in the inside, that’s the cocoa nib, and that’s what we grind up and turn into chocolate.”

While the business primarily uses cocoa nibs for its own chocolate production, the owners have seen about 5 to 10 percent of their business over the past two years go to a growing and popular niche market – craft breweries.

Ethereal’s wholesale customers

• Opened in 2011, the Woodstock shop operates along the Square at 113 S. Benton St. • Hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays; and 7 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays • For information, visit www.etherealconfections.com

A view of one of the sitting areas at Ethereal Confections in Woodstock. The confectionery opened in 2011 and has found a niche selling its cocoa nibs to craft breweries across the country, including Scorched Earth Brewery in Algonquin. have included prominent brewers Sierra Nevada and 3 Floyds Brewing Co. “You can buy beans from other places, but the way each chocolatier roasts them affects the flavor profile,” Miller said. “They would buy from us specifically because they like the flavor profile we produced.”

Michael Dallas, co-founder of Scorched Earth Brewing in Algonquin,

is hooked on Ethereal’s confections, which his brewery uses for an oatmeal imperial stout called The Bitter Chocolatier.

When brewing new beers, his company aims for something season-appropriate, Dallas said. So, as Valentine’s Day approached last year, a chocolate beer made sense. Through word of mouth, Dallas learned about Ethereal.

“We went up there and were instantly amazed with the flavors they were making,” Dallas said. “Mary is really pushing the envelope as to what chocolate can do.”

She does so without any formal culinary training. Ervin grew up in Spring Grove and was a graphic designer, while Miller, originally from Racine, Wisconsin, was an interior designer.

The two met through Ervin’s brother and soon learned they shared a love for food.

“We focused on chocolate because of Mary’s love of it and, at the time, I wasn’t picky about the medium,” Miller said. “I think we were both getting a little bored with our jobs, and we decided to go ahead and give it a shot.”

Ervin does have chocolate experience, having worked in a chocolate shop as part of an after-school job.

Drug distribution can block competition

By MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The same strategy that Martin Shkreli used to get away with a 5,000-percent price increase on an old drug is used by many other drugmakers to maintain sky-high prices on billions of dollars’ worth of medications.

Before the price hike that made him infamous, the former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals had to ensure that no competitor would be able to launch a cheaper version of Daraprim, the 60-year-old anti-infection pill that is no longer under patent.

Shkreli had the perfect weapon: a tightly controlled distribution system that would make it virtually impossible for a competitor to obtain enough Daraprim to develop its own version.

Shkreli, who resigned in December, did not invent the closed distribution technique.

And his former company, Turing, notes Daraprim already was distributed under such a system when it acquired the drug.

Many larger drugmakers also have turned drug distribution into a powerful tool against competition.

The strategy takes advantage of a simple fact: If generic drugmakers can’t get their hands on the original product, they cannot perform the tests needed to develop a generic version.

Typically generic drugmakers purchase drugs in bulk from third-party suppliers. But when the original drugmaker controls the drug’s distribution, they can simply refuse to sell.

The effect on patients is higher pric-

Doctors say these tactics “continue to stand in the way of patients’ access.”

“The most effective way to improve access and lower prices is to ensure that generic drugs get to market as quickly as possible,” says Dr. Ameet Sarpatwari of Harvard Medical School, who has studied the issue.

At least 40 drugs worth an estimated $5.4 billion are sheltered from competition by distribution hurdles, according to a study commissioned by the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, an industry trade group.

The Food and Drug Administration is aware of the misuse of distribution programs. The agency said in a statement it has received 100 letters from companies that say they have been blocked from obtaining drugs for testing purposes. The agency’s own regulations prohibit drugmakers from using certain types of distribution plans to block generic access, but the agency does not penalize companies for the practice.

The trend began in 2007, when the FDA began requiring risk-management plans for certain drugs. The plans often feature various restrictions to

make sure drugs are used safely, including limits on who can distribute them. But drugmakers realized these measures also could be used to keep their drugs away from competitors.

And even drugs that didn’t require risk-management could utilize the strategy.

Daraprim is an example of a drug that has no major safety risks and was previously available through various wholesalers and distributors. But last June – three months before its sale to Turing – Daraprim was moved into a closed distribution program, allowing the manufacturer to refuse sales to competitors.

The effect for patients was jarring.

The drug – which treats an infection mainly found in people with HIV and cancer – had previously been available through local pharmacies. Now it is distributed through a specialty division of Walgreen’s, which sells the drug at Turing’s list price of $750 a pill. In the months after the price hike, some patients faced co-pays as high as $16,000 when trying to fill a prescription.

Turing said it has improved access to Daraprim, including making it available through a patient assistance program for those that can’t afford it.

Drugmakers argue closed distribution simply protects their interests, making sure drugs are shipped and handled appropriately.

But generic drugmakers say the tactics threaten their business model.

“It undermines the whole generic drug approval process,” said Steve Giuli, an executive with generics firm Apotex Corp.

A common Social Security strategy is changing A new law enacted in November closed a longtime tactic within the Social Security system known as the “file and suspend strategy.” Using this method, a spouse could receive spousal benefits while the other spouse takes advantage of a provision that allowed his or her monthly Social Security to grow.

A husband could file a claim for Social Security and immediately suspend his payments, which opened the door for his wife to claim spousal benefits. By suspending his payments, the husband’s monthly benefit would continue to receive an annual increase until he ends the suspension or reached 70 years old.

Experts suggest that under this strategy, a person from the age of 66 to 70 would get what essentially amounts to an 8 percent increase in monthly payment amounts each year the

ACCOUNTING Charles Caufield benefits are delayed. Of course, for a married couple, spousal benefits only apply once a Social Security claim is filed.

The U.S. Social Security Administration last month explained the new claiming rules. As of April 30, no one younger than 62 at the end of 2015 can avoid the agency’s deeming rules, which means they cannot claim only one benefit at a time. No longer can one spouse file for spousal benefits while the other spouse files and suspends his or her retirement benefit at full benefit age.

Anyone who already has claimed benefits before April 30 appears not to

be affected by the rule change along with many others. If a person submits a request by that date, and their spouse or children become entitled to benefits either before or after that date, they will not be cut off by the new rules and will continue to receive payments.

Anyone who will reach full retirement age (66 right now) on or before April 29 will continue to be able to use the file-and-suspend strategy.

Anyone who was 62 or older as of Jan. 1 also will be able to continue to file a restricted application at his or her full retirement age for just their spousal benefit while deferring their own retirement benefits.

The strategy still is part of Social Security, but it is limited to workers who are 66 years old and younger after May 1. After that, the strategy will allow a worker who had started receiv-

ing benefits to suspend those benefits to accrue delayed retirement benefits until the worker begins benefits again, up to age 70.

Suspending benefits for a worker now will suspend benefits for everyone involved.

A spouse and/or qualifying children will be allowed to collect a Social Security benefit on a worker’s record only when that worker actually is receiving benefits.

Couples in the eligible age group who are considering applying for Social Security benefits should consult their advisers as soon as possible because April 30 rapidly is approaching.

Don’t need a blender? Crowdfunding sites now fund honeymoons for a fee

By JOSEPH PISANI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Before they say “I do,” soon-to-be newlyweds are increasingly going online to ask, “Will you pay for our honeymoon?”

Crowdfunding websites such as Honeyfund, GoFundMe and Honeymoon Wishes make it easy to raise cash from family and friends for a post-wedding getaway. The sites charge fees for their services – as much as 10 percent of the total collected – but people are warming up to the idea, despite the cost.

As couples increasingly live together first and marry later, they already have toasters and towels, so traditional gift registries don’t make as much sense. Honeymoon registries also provide a polite way of hinting to guests to give money instead, without breaking wedding etiquette.

“I didn’t feel right saying, ‘Hey, give me cash,’ ” said Nicole DePinto, who raised $2,900 on GoFundMe for an Ice-

landic honeymoon with her husband Anthony in December.

Sites that help couples raise cash for honeymoons have seen their popularity soar recently. Honeyfund users, for example, raised $90 million last year, a 50 percent jump from the year before, said co-founder and CEO Sara Margulis.

Last year, 22 percent of people using the Knot, a wedding planning site, said they also used honeymoon registries, according to a survey of 6,500 customers.

That’s the same as the year before, but up from 17 percent in 2013 and 13 percent in 2012.

The DePintos even crowdsourced the destination of their honeymoon, asking the 100 guests at their travel-themed October wedding reception to vote on Greece, Iceland or Japan.

The save-the-dates came on postcards and the party favors were luggage tags.

The guests chose Iceland.

“Iceland is absolutely beautiful in December,” she insisted, recalling the

Christmas decorations, mulled wines, ice caves and northern lights. “I think our guests understand that we are not a super-traditional couple, so we wanted our honeymoon to be more adventure and less lounging on a beach.”

Most guests gave the couple cashstuffed envelopes at the wedding, but the 14 donations they got online covered their hotel and airline tickets, even after GoFundMe kept more than $230 in fees.

The Union City, New Jersey, couple also had a registry at Target, but asked for just a few things there since they had lived together for three years.

“In that time we’ve acquired tons of pots, plates, towels, throw pillows and bedding,” they explained on their GoFundMe page.

Asking for cash in the invitation is a wedding faux pas, said Kristen Maxwell Cooper, deputy editor at The Knot.

But passing around a link to a honeymoon registry works, because couples can explain to guests exactly where the money will be spent, she said.

to.

Couples have a few options to turn

Crowdfunding site GoFundMe has collected $2 billion to date for all sorts of personal campaigns, raising money for medical emergencies, crime victims and other local causes. But the site does have a weddings and honeymoons section where users have raised $4 million since GoFundMe was launched six years ago, says media director Kelsea Little.

Anyone can see a GoFundMe campaign, but don’t expect strangers to hand over cash – only friends and family will likely donate, says Little.

“It’s a common misconception,” she said.

Honeyfund, meanwhile, is more focused on honeymoons. Couples can list exactly what the cash will pay for, from hotel rooms to sightseeing tours to massages.

Major resorts and cruise lines are jumping in, using Honeymoon Wishes to power honeymoon registries built into their sites.

Developer talking with possible 3rd tenant

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Chocolatier Hannah Marsili adds chocolate to molds while making chocolate bars at Ethereal Confections in Woodstock.

• COCOA

Continued from page 31 While attending Northern Illinois University, she found work again in another chocolate shop.

She also learned more about food and cooking living on her own for the first time.

“By the time I was ready to graduate with a graphic design degree, I had fallen in love with chocolate and wanted to do that as a profession rather than design,” Ervin said.

They started selling their goods at farmers markets in Woodstock and Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Miller lived, and the two eventually found more support in Woodstock.

They opened up shop in November 2011 and quickly outgrew a spot on the Woodstock Square. Two and a half years ago, Ethereal moved to its current location at 113 S. Benton St.

in the downtown.

Their chocolate is sold in about 200 stores across the U.S., mostly gourmet and specialty food stores as opposed to chains, Ervin said.

Their wholesale business makes about 60 to 70 percent of sales, while the cafe represents 30 to 40 percent.

They sell truffles and meltaways, but also craft cocktails, beer/wine pairings and more.

“We do all of our production in Woodstock,” Ervin said. “When you walk into the space, you see the production area, you walk through some seating, and we have a bar in the back where you can order all the cocktails and desserts.”

It’s an alternative to places such as Starbucks, which has a store just one block away on the Square.

“People seem to come to us because … they want to support a small, local business, and we offer that,” Ervin said.

HUNTLEY – The connection between Centegra Health System’s new Huntley hospital and medical office building next door will be more than conceptual. The 80,000-square-foot, four-story office will have an actual ground-floor connector hallway to both the hospital and the existing Ambulatory Care Center.

Centegra General Counsel Aaron Shepley said officials see the medical office building, which officials want to open by summer 2017, as an “important piece of the puzzle” on a campus designed for convenience.

Working with a developer, Centegra already has put some pieces in place, as numerous tenants have committed to work in the building.

“We have a campus that has a fitness center on one end, immediate care on the other end and a hospital and medical office building in the middle,” Shepley said. “This is truly a full-service campus that will allow people – and you know how busy people in America are today – to handle everything at one time.’”

Building developer Duke Realty recently announced two tenants.

Centegra Physician Care will have about 30,000 square feet of office space in the building, and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science will occupy about another 30,000 square feet to train medical

students on campus.

Health care company DaVita also is discussing with developers a proposal for a dialysis center, Shepley said.

Duke Realty Vice President of Development Dave Martin said the Huntley campus is about 70 percent filled and continues to generate interest.

The location on the campus at the intersection of Algonquin and Haligus roads has helped, he said.

“Our ideal development opportunity for health care for us is when we’re on a campus,” Martin said.

“You don’t get a lot of opportunities where you get to be on a brand-new campus.”

Shepley said the connections between the two new buildings would make it easier both for patients, who may have to go from a doctor’s appointment to the hospital for a test, and doctors, who will juggle patients in their offices and the hospital.

He said the company hopes to gain some additional benefits by continuing its existing relationship with Rosalind Franklin University on the new campus.

“I think it provides an opportunity to expose bright minds to the quality of life we have out here, and I think the long-term hope is that the best and brightest continue to choose McHenry County and Centegra Health System as a place they want to work,” Shepley said.

Blush Salon to expand alongside new coffee shop Crystal Lake business would relocate downtown in June; new shop to open in July

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Come summertime, a vacant storefront in downtown Crystal Lake is expected to become home to a new coffee shop and an existing salon looking to expand.

Next to Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria and Pub sits 77 Woodstock St., which housed Carl’s Furniture several years ago before it was Bauer’s Garage.

Last week, the Crystal Lake City Council approved a special use permit for Blush Salon, currently at 53 Brink St., to become a full-service salon and spa in about 4,000 square feet of the

building.

Co-owner of Blush Christina Murar said she and co-owner Cindy Hitzeman, both of Algonquin, have been wanting to expand for a couple years. The relocation will be a big step up from their current 900-square-foot space.

It also will mean a step up in services. In addition to haircuts, coloring and facial waxing, the expanded Blush will have a brow bar, makeup and aesthetic services, spray tanning, massages, and a built-in pedicure lounge, Murar said.

“We knew that was kind of the next step, but it had to be the right location and we knew it had to be in downtown

Crystal Lake,” Murar said. “It’s something we’ve kind of kept our eye on.”

They approached Kevin Kincaid about buying the property at 77 Woodstock St. and the two have talked with Kincaid’s wife, Dawn, who intends to open a coffee and wine bar in the same building.

“I have been in discussion with Blush about how our businesses can complement each other,” Dawn Kincaid said, adding the coffee shop still is in its planning stages and additional permitting through the city will be required once the business plan is more concrete.

Kevin Kincaid expects to close on

the property in the next couple days.

A resident of Lake in the Hills, he said he owns a number of commercial and industrial properties throughout the area, but this would be his first in Crystal Lake. He also owns Prime Contracting Inc. in Lake in the Hills.

“It’s got a great historic presence in Crystal Lake,” Kevin Kincaid said of the building, adding he planned on maintaining the outside aesthetics.

His own contracting company will be handling the renovations, which he said will begin right after the sale is finalized. The expanded salon is expected to open by June 1 and the coffee shop

by July 1.

Woman’s bad times are made worse by family’s desertion Dear Abby: I recently realized I have a fair-weather family. My husband got in trouble with the law and is now in a drug treatment facility. This had been hard on me, but I love him.

His crime was being in possession of illegal drugs that were intended only for himself. His family has turned their backs on us. My family will invite me to family functions, but if I mention him, they walk away. I have been feeling very alone and isolated throughout this entire process.

Today I went for my follow-up OBGYN appointment and was referred to an oncologist for further testing and treatment. I don’t even want to tell my family. I spoke with one close friend who said my parents and siblings have a right to know what is

Dear Abby: In the past, you have printed letters about neighbors taking food to people who are grieving.

I recently lost my wife of 57 years.

Her death was unexpected. I ended up with a refrigerator and freezer overgoing on, but I feel differently. I think flowing with so much food I could families should support each other not eat it all.

About two weeks after the funeral, a couple of dear friends invited me over for dinner and games. They understood what a difference it would make in helping me cope with a great loss. And bless my daughter and “sonin-love” for their insistence that I have dinner with them every Sunday, at a minimum, with their family. –

Really?

Former Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan was investigated, and then cleared, of allegations that he misused university resources while having an affair, according to reports Saturday.

The Wisconsin State Journal reported the probe began when the woman having the affair with Ryan sent an email to the school in February 2015.

Ryan, the Badgers’ longtime coach, retired abruptly in December.

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson on the college and junior college levels before returning to C-G, mostly as an assistant coach. He was head coach at Kishwaukee College in Malta for six seasons before taking the C-G job.

“I just finally realized I needed to invest more time into my children’s lives, my marriage, my mom, now that she’s a widow, and in my church,” Schuetzle said. “My daughters (Hannah and Sarah) are going to be freshmen at (Crystal Lake) South.

I have four years to enjoy them before they’re gone to college. When they graduate college, they have their own lives. I have four more years to really be their dad.”

It sunk in with Schuetzle that even on nights when he was home, he was not always attentive to his children.

As head coach, he often was watching game videos and preparing for C-G’s

next foe. He also wants to see his mother, Jeanne, more often. Jeanne Schuetzle recently became a widow after Laurence recently died after battling cancer for seven years.

“I just don’t want to be the coach whose children felt coaching was more important then they were,” Schuetzle said. “Up until right now, that’s all they know, ‘Dad is a coach and he’s gone a lot.’ It dawns on you one day, your kids are going to be freshmen in high school and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, what am I doing here?’ ” Schuetzle, 53, and his wife, Amanda, also have a son, Jack, who will be a seventh-grader next year. Amanda is head girls tennis coach at Crystal Lake Central and head boys tennis coach at Cary-Grove, which makes for an even more hectic schedule at times.

Schuetzle was the only three-sport, four-year athlete in his class at C-G. He was selected as the 1980 Trojans’ Male Athlete of the Year after playing football, basketball and baseball. He attended Augustana College in Rock Island, where he played baseball and

was manager for the basketball team.

Although he is stepping down as head coach, Schuetzle plans on remaining with the program in one of the lower levels.

“I’m still planning on being an assistant at whatever level they want me to be at,” Schuetzle said. “I’ll do whatever I can to help the program be successful and productive, but it’s just going to be as an assistant coach instead of head coach.”

Cavallaro to Grand Valley: DundeeCrown setter Frankie Cavallaro, a fixture in the Chargers’ program for four years, has committed to Grand Valley State, an NCAA Division II school in Allendale, Michigan.

Cavallaro, who is 5-foot-11, helped the Chargers to a 27-10 record, their best in school history last season.

Continued from page 2 As the No. 3 seed in the Varsity Combined Bracket of the 2016 Amateur Hockey Association Illinois state tournament, they play No. 11 DuPage on Sunday in the second round.

“We are ready,” Kings senior forward Scott Pfaff said. “We’ve been practicing hard since September and we’ve been competing with most of the teams, so I think we have a really good shot at the state title.”

Cary-Grove’s Anthony Sode has experienced something similar in his first year as coach of the Trojans. After nine years as an assistant for the program, he took over a roster that included seven freshmen, one sophomore, three juniors and seven seniors. “[The seniors] all stepped up a lot,” Sode said of his team, which went 2118-7 overall and finished second on a tiebreak in the Illinois High School Hockey League North Central Division. “Most of the seniors I’ve coached all four years of high school, so they’re helping me out a lot.”

The biggest highlight of the Trojans’ season was their first-place finish in January at the Grand Rapids Avalanche Tournament in Michigan.

Down three players, the team went 3-11 in three days, beating Loyola Academy, 3-2, in a shootout for the title and collected its first championship banner in several years.

“We just step it up tournaments,” Trojans senior Mitch Whitehouse said.

“That’s really where the team comes

The No. 9 Trojans will play No. 1 New Trier White on March 13 in the second round of the Varsity White Bracket.

Coached by Rich Perillo, Crystal Lake South grabbed a No. 3 seed and earned a first-round bye in the AHAI Varsity White Bracket. Going 14-22-6, its season was highlighted with wins over ranked Highland Park and New Trier high schools.

By beating the Trevians, 6-3, the Gators placed ninth in their own Gators Cup Fall Classic. They also won second in the Prep Hockey Thanksgiving Tournament, losing to the Kings in the

final.

The Gators play No. 6 Marist on March 13 in the second round at the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville. They tied 4-all in the Gators Cup. “[Marist has] got a couple good scorers, so I see it being a very good game,” Perillo said.

After winning the Sterling Varsity Division last year, the D-155 Predators (Prairie Ridge/Crystal Lake Central) went 14-25-5 in 2015-16 and were eligible for the postseason.

However, with only three seniors on the roster and a couple of injured players, Predators coach John Lenzi said he elected for the team not to compete

in this year’s AHAI state tournament.

He said the team plans on jumping back in next season.

Going 5-0-1 in a round-robin playoff, the Predators reached the Platinum Division championship game, where they lost to the Lake Zurich/Mundelein co-op, 7-0. The appearance marked the team’s second straight IHSHL North-Central Division title game in two years as a program.

“I was really surprised at our play,” Prairie Ridge senior Jackson Dufault said. “Beginning of the playoffs, we were on fire. It felt really good to string together a couple good wins and reach the title game.”

Ralph Schuetzle will miss preparing Cary-Grove’s boys basketball teams, trying to give the Trojans every advantage possible to compete.

He will miss visiting the area’s various gymnasiums, even some of the smells that are synonymous with particular venues.

At the same time, Schuetzle knows the benefits of stepping away – seeing more of his family – will be worth it.

“It needs to be Ralph done,” said Schuetzle, Schuetzle who resigned this week after 12 seasons as Trojans coach. “I’m glad I’m doing it. I’m at peace about it, it’s just the right thing to do at this part of my life.”

Schuetzle, a 1980 C-G graduate, returned to his alma mater to teach and coach in 2004-05. His Trojans’ teams were 168-173 over those seasons and won the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division in 2010.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A AND 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Benet Academy repeats as Class 4A state champ star guard: Morton won its first girls

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAL – Kathleen Doyle poured in 24 points, including nine in the final five minutes, to propel Benet Academy past Fremd, 42-39, Saturday to win its second straight girls basketball Class 4A state championship.

It was a rematch of last year’s 4A title match, which Benet (32-3) won, 61-39.

“It’s awesome to be able to do it when no one thinks you can,” Doyle said. “We did that last year, and we did it again this year.”

Bryana Hopkins scored 18 points and Grace Tworek had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead Fremd (30-3).

“I knew we were good,” said Benet coach Joe Kilbride. “But did I think this would happen? Again? Not hardly.

It’s such an accomplishment just to get here, let alone to win it.”

Trinity beat Whitney Young, 63-46, the 4A third-place game.

state 3A championship even though powerhouse guard Chandler Ryan made only a brief appearance. In December, during the early weeks of another astonishing season for the Potters, she suffered a season-ending ACL tear in her knee.

On Saturday, Morton (33-3) beat North Lawndale, 58-41, to defend its title. Ryan was on the bench watching when coach Bob Becker leaned over and told her to take off her warm-up outfit.

So, fittingly, with less than 30 seconds left in the game and limping badly, a sobbing Chandler Ryan entered a high school basketball game for the final time. The crowd roared its approval. Becker immediately called a time out and took her out of the game, but the point was made.

Ryan, who was averaging nearly 20 points a game when she was injured, was the team’s leader, and always had been.

Highland beat Morgan Park, 62-51, in the 3A third-place game.

McHenry East graduate also sets Irish record

• Sunday, March 6, 2016

When Notre Dame pole vaulter Nate Richartz is competing, he doesn’t mind a little noise.

“Pole vaulting is a unique sport,” said Richartz, a McHenry East graduate. “The energy of the crowd and the support of the people around you can definitely propel you to higher heights.”

At last weekend’s Atlantic Coast Conference meet in Boston, Richartz had plenty of voices behind him.

“My entire team was set up in the stands right next to the pit,” he said. “I had a great crowd. It was good to have them right there.”

Richartz, a junior, gave his teammates plenty to cheer about by winning the first conference title of his career and setting a school record with a vault of 17 feet, 11 inches on his final attempt of the competition.

“I was ecstatic about it,” said Richartz, who qualified for the NCAA indoor national championships for the first time in his career with the record vault. “I had the school record in mind ever since I came in freshman year. I wasn’t really expecting to hit it this year, though. That was quite a pleasant surprise.”

Richartz, who has the eighth-best vault entering this week’s indoor nationals in Birmingham, Alabama, had a difficult start to the ACC meet.

He missed on his first attempt at the opening height of 16-5½, but quickly shook it off.

“I wasn’t really worried,” he said.

“I was on too small of a pole for that particular jump. I went up in poles and everything was fine.”

Richartz, who entered the meet ranked third in conference, moved all the way up to 17-5½, which he made on his third attempt. When other vaulters failed to clear the bar, Richartz had a conference title but not complete peace of mind.

“When the final vaulter missed and I knew I had won, [vault coach Jim Garnham] came over and was real excited,” he said. “I waved him off a little bit and said, ‘We’ve still got some work to do. We’ve still got to qualify.’ ” Richartz said the pair talked for at least 5 minutes about where to put the bar to ensure national qualification.

“He was giving me all these options and I said, ‘I’m brain dead right now.

I just want to focus on jumping.’ So he said, ‘OK, we’re going to go to (17-11),’ ” he said. “I knew it (the school record) was in the back of my head. But I didn’t

The problem with free agency in the NFL is it never is a level playing field.

A huge percentage of high-dollar unrestricted free-agent signees become salary-cap casualties within two or three years of their signings because they are so highly overpaid.

How many big-dollar free-agent signees in recent years actually have outperformed their contracts?

A perfect example of the phenomena in the 2016 free-agent crop will be Denver Broncos DT Malik Jackson.

I really like Jackson, and if I were an NFL general manager, head coach or defensive coordinator, I definitely would like to have him on my team.

But if they started over in the NFL tomorrow and every DT/5-Technique in the league was an unrestricted free agent, Jackson probably would rank somewhere between 15th and 20th on the list.

Nonetheless, sometime between Wednesday and Sunday of next week, some team is going to make him one of the fifth or sixth highest paid interior defensive lineman in the league because he is the best available in free agency this year, with the possible exceptions of Damon Harrison, Ian Williams and Jaye Howard now that franchise tags have been handed out.

In fact, none of those five players, with the clear exception of Harrison, is among the top 15 or so in the league, but they will all get rich because they’ll be the best going on sale next week.

I believe Harrison might be the best pure nose tackle in football but he does not have the flexibility the others have to slide out to the 5-technique in a 30 front and he wouldn’t be a great fit at tackle in a 40 front either.

Because Jackson appears clearly to be the consensus choice among this top five, let’s look at all the questions that come with him.

In four years in the NFL, he’s played in 48 of a possible 64 games, totaled 129 stops with 97 solos, 14 sacks, two fumbles forced, two fumbles recovered, 15 passes defensed and 15 tackles for loss.

That converts for Jackson to an average stat line per game of two solo stops, 0.3 sacks or 1 every 3½ games, basically one fumble forced and one recovered once every other season and a pass defensed

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush and a tackle for loss once every 3.2 games.

Although Jackson is coming of his best season – 34 solos, five sacks, two tackles for loss, seven passes defensed and two fumble recoveries – it still is almost right in line with his career per game averages.

There were 66 players in the league in 2015 with more sacks and 241 with more solo tackles, including more than 20 interior defensive linemen.

Jackson’s teammate Derek Wolfe is almost the identical player, Jackson the 5-technique on the right side, Wolfe in the same spot on the left side.

Their stats in 2015 were almost identical – Wolfe had one more solo stop, a half sack more, two more tackles for losses and six less passes defensed.

Jackson turned 26 in January and is 6-foot-5, 293 pounds; Wolfe turned 26 in February and is 6-5, 285.

They are clones and yet the Broncos chose to give Wolfe a fouryear, $36.7 million contract with $12 million guaranteed shortly before last year’s playoffs and risk exposing Jackson to free agency.

Why? How much of Jackson’s (or Wolfe’s) success in recent season has to do with the fact opposing defenses have been forced to account for and often double-team both Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware at all times, making his life a lot easier?

How effective will Jackson be if he is forced to be the center of attention with the team that is about to give him $50 million-plus and most likely guarantee at least half of it to secure him in the freeagent spending frenzy that is about to begin?

Let’s go back near the top. I really like Jackson and think he’s a very good football player, but he’s just not worth anywhere near what he’s about to get paid.

But hey, good for him, that’s the system’s fault, certainly not his.

the permanent job, which administrators said was a result of the school not having a permanent AD at the time.

The university said in a release that Cubit will be paid $985,000. His son, offensive coordinator Ryan Cubit, also was fired and will be paid $361,000 for the remainder of his contract.

The Illini finished 5-7, 2-6 in the Big Ten last season, under Cubit. Beckman hired him in 2013 after Cubit was fired as head coach at Western Michigan.

Illinois has had losJosh Whitman ing seasons in six of the past eight years, and hasn’t been to a major bowl game since the Rose Bowl after the 2007 season.

Several players took to Twitter to complain that they learned of Cubit’s dismissal through social media.

“Love finding out about this through Twitter,” Mike Dudek, the Illini’s top receiver, wrote Saturday.

Whitman said he was obligated to tell Cubit first and knew that once he did, word would spread far faster than he’d be able to pull the players together.

Whitman met with players Saturday afternoon. They’ll soon be playing for their third college coach in less than a year.

“It’s not ideal to have a bunch of head coaches,” Dudek said in an interview. “But when you’ve got a good group of guys – we’re all playing for each other.”

He and others said at least the change happened before spring football practices started, given that the team will be learning new schemes.

Spring football has been postponed from the schedule March 11 start until a new coach is hired, Whitman said. He said he hopes to hire that coach soon and believes it will be “someone who is going to be here a long time.”

But Whitman, who played football at Illinois, said the next coach doesn’t have to have any ties to the school.

Cubit’s firing comes after turmoil at Illinois in football and other sports, including the allegations that surfaced last May that led to the firing of Beckman. Thomas was fired in November, and there’s an ongoing lawsuit by seven former women’s basketball players alleging a racially abusive environment.

• Sunday, March 6, 2016

CHAMPAIGN – First-year football coach Bill Cubit was fired Saturday by new athletic director Josh Whitman, who said the troubled program needs a new coach to begin building long-term success.

The move came on Whitman’s first official day, when he also decided that men’s basketball coach John Groce would return next season. The 37-yearold AD was hired last month to manage a department that has dealt with nearly a year of upheaval in various sports, which resulted in the firing of his predecessor Mike Thomas.

Whitman said he appreciated Cubit’s work as interim coach last season after the firing of Tim Beckman, but made clear he didn’t believe the veteran Cubit

was the best option to build the team.

Cubit was Beckman’s offensive coordinator, became interim head coach when Beckman was fired in August just before the season started and named permanent head coach in November.

“It was more, ‘What are we going to do for the next eight or nine months and what are the longterm implications for that?’ ” Whitman said at a news conference Saturday, denying that Cubit’s ouster was related to the allegations of player mistreatment Bill Cubit that cost Beckman his job. “Bill has done nothing wrong. I told him the first time I met him that we’re in a challenging situation.”

Cubit said he was stunned by the news.

“I just came in and [Whitman] said, ‘I’m letting you go,’ ” he told The Associated Press of the meeting Saturday morning in Cubit’s office. “Everybody told me I had this year. There’s a lot of shock going on.”

10 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

GM: Ventura’s status not an issue Team emphasizing quick start, letting it avoid the issue

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – General manager Rick Hahn already said last year that the expectations and scrutiny surrounding Robin Ventura would be turned up a notch. After all, Hahn bolstered the White Sox’s roster, raising the stakes for his team, himself and his manager.

Ventura survived despite a 76-86 finish, and he enters the last year of his contract as a lame duck after Hahn made even more upgrades.

But as Sox camp hops and skips into its second week with an upbeat tempo, Hahn insists Ventura’s status is not an elephant in the room.

“I don’t sense it at all,” Hahn said Friday. “Part of that is Robin’s makeup. Robin’s not doing this for economic reasons. He’s doing it because he believes in it, he wants to win for the organization and he enjoys it. While the contract status may be an external focus, internally, it’s about trying to do what we can to win now.”

Ventura also has played on one-year deals, and given his cool and relaxed disposition, “I don’t sense it hanging over any conversations or the way he or the staff is approaching the season,” Hahn said.

Hahn is frustrated by three losing seasons in a row, although “we try to take a longer-term view of this thing.

Eaton enjoys big day SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton went 3 for 3 with a home run, double and two RBIs in the Sox’s 7-6 win over Ian Kennedy and the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Avisail Garcia also drove in two runs, and Tyler Saladino homered off Ross Ohlendorf with Rob Brantly aboard in the sixth.

We look at where we were at the end of the 2013 season, losing 99 games with an older roster locked in financially and a farm system that wasn’t highly regarded, [compared to] now, 2½ years later when we feel we’re in position to contend. The expectations have pivoted.”

So much emphasis has been put on

getting off to a good start. It not only sets the right tone and avoids playing catch-up baseball, it would keep Ventura’s status from becoming an unwanted distraction. The Sox did hire a new bench coach, Rick Renteria, with recent managerial experience with the Cubs.

“But if we get off to a good start, there will be a lot of optimism and people fired up to see where this team goes,” Hahn said. “Our focus is to get off to a good start. If we fall short of that, then we have to assess how to get us back on track as quickly as possibly.”

Ventura was more popular as a player than he is as a manager, which generally comes with the gig. Asked if Ventura is better today than he was his first season, when the Sox led the American League Central for much of

the 2012 season only to fade, Hahn said, “a lot comes down to personnel.”

“Managers are as good as the personnel they are given,” Hahn said. ‘‘It’s not fair to compare how he manages in 2016 to 2014, when we were a team in transition. He has improved as a manager. We knew from Day 1 it would be a bit of a growing experience given his background (no experience). He has advanced and his coaching staff has, too.”

Hahn likes what he has seen at Camp Ventura. Not only has the trainer’s room been quiet, Hahn senses a nice energy in the clubhouse and coaches room.

“Positivity and focus,” he said.

So in addition to getting a boost of offense from Todd Frazier and Brett Lawrie, Ventura received some intangibles that should make his job easier.

“First and foremost, we needed to score more runs,” Hahn said. “Todd Frazier was at the top of our target list because of his makeup, what he brings on and off the field. Both (catchers) Alex Avila and Dioner Navarro are pros who approach the game the right way, (veteran shortstop) Jimmy Rollins has a long track record of being that type of guy, and Brett Lawrie, everybody sees his energy from 10,000 feet away. That was a positive shot in the arm for the clubhouse, as well.”

One more shot, like maybe a left-handed bat for the outfield, would do wonders for Ventura’s roster. The payroll, a shade above $120 million, might have some wiggle room. But not much.

“That can change with trade-deadline acquisitions or during spring training,” Hahn said.

Ventura, to be sure, will accept any help he can get.

Frazier, Sox developing long-term relationship

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Todd Frazier has been with the White Sox for a little more than two weeks, and it already feels like home. So much so that Frazier is talking like he wants to be with the Sox beyond the two years he’s under team control.

“If the atmosphere is like this, this is where I want to play for the rest of my life,” Frazier told the Sun-Times on Saturday morning. “It’s awesome; it’s a great time. The guys have been nothing but great to me, and I’m here to help as much as I can. When they welcome you as they’ve welcomed me,

I want to return the favor.”

“That’s great to hear,” said general manager Rick Hahn, who traded a package of top prospects – Trayce Thompson, Frankie Montas and Micah Johnson – to get Frazier, an All-Star at third base in his last two seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. “He’s still getting to know us, we’re still getting to know him, Todd Frazier and it’s a matter of making sure there’s comfort on both sides for a long-term relationship.

“When we acquired him, [I thought] this could develop into something more than the two years he’s under control.”

Frazier is thinking the same thing.

“Most definitely,” Frazier said.

“Whenever he wants to [discuss an extension], that would be great. I haven’t even been to the city yet, and I feel like this is true to where I need to be right now. It’s a fun place. You can be here in Arizona [during spring training]. It’s a fun team.”

It’s early, but Frazier knows a good vibe, and he’s enjoying it with the Sox. “Very much so,” said Frazier, 30, who had spent his entire professional career with the Reds. “I feel comfortable; I feel like I belong. It’s weird. You don’t know what to expect, to be honest, and it’s really been a fun time so far.’’

Frazier will make $8.25 million in 2016 and will be arbitration-eligible for the last time in 2017 before he becomes eligible for free agency.

He adds a power bat to the middle of the lineup, a good glove to the infield and an upbeat presence to the clubhouse. That he already is at a midseason comfort level is “crazy,” Frazier said.

“It is,’’ he said. “It’s something you don’t take for granted. It’s something you don’t joke about. I feel like I’m just starting out again. It’s a new chapter.

It’s [only] baseball, but you still have to figure out a whole new team, whole new friendships, and it’s been a really easy process for me.’’

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. (AP) – Miguel Montero went 3 for 3 with a home run for the Cubs, who lost, 4-2, to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.

Montero also singled and doubled in front of a crowd of 15,443 at Sloan Park.

The veteran catcher is 5 for 5 so far this spring.

“I’ve been working on something a little different this year,” Montero said. “I’m trying to be quieter at the plate. I’m not quite there yet.”

Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts on Feb. 25 responded to the “sustainability” of team-payroll trends with the claim: “Payroll more so than any other time in history doesn’t determine how many wins you’re going to have.

Fact is, it’s really not about how much you spend.”

Truth-meter reading: Half-true and mostly misdirection Smaller-revenue teams such as the Royals and Pirates, for example, have had much more success the past three years than the highest-spending Dodgers and Yankees. And growing industry consensus on the rising values of younger (cheaper) players is a significant part of a general shift in that direction. But 24 teams employ 47 players on nine-figure contracts – including four signed by Ricketts’ top baseball executive, Theo Epstein.

The Cubs, in fact, almost certainly

would not have made the playoffs last year without the $261 million in contract commitments undertaken the previous offseason – including a $155 million pitcher. And media reports suggest much of their World Series expectations this year are based on a $276 million winter that includes a $184 million player. Also: The statement is not relevant to the question.

Joe Maddon on Feb. 26 made this claim about Jake Arrieta’s first spring session throwing to hitters in live batting practice: “It was live.”

Truth-meter reading: True Based on periscope transmissions from the event and news reports, Arrieta was, in fact, not dead.

Shane Victorino, the Cubs’ backup outfield candidate, on Feb. 28 made this claim when talking of his decision to return to switch-hitting after a back injury prevented that much of the last three seasons: “If you’re a switch hitter, I don’t care if you hit a buck50 on one side and you hit .400 on the other, do not give it up because today’s game is about matchups; it’s about numbers.”

Truth-meter reading: True This statement is supported by an examination of public records that reveals Emilio Bonifacio has received more than $11 million in his lifetime to play baseball and, in fact, Nick Swisher received $56 million in commitments over a four-year period from a certified American League team.

Jon Lester on March 2 spoke of Arrieta’s Opening Day assignment by making this claim: “It’s one of those days that kind of [stinks]. I think

it’s one of the hardest days to pitch.

(There are) a lot of distractions.”

Truth-meter reading: Half-false, half-true Media interviews and eyewitness accounts as far back as the 1870s consistently reveal that Opening Day does not stink anywhere in the United States, with the rare exceptions of such nonbaseball locales as Nome, Alaska, or Belt, Montana. But Lester’s own history in five openers supports a general truthiness to the statement.

He’s 1-4 with a 4.15 ERA in those games and 126-75 with a 3.54 ERA in his others.

Joe Maddon has based the entire 2016 campaign on an “Embrace the Target” platform, proclaiming the wisdom of “running toward the fire, not away from it.”

Truth-meter reading: Mostly unsupported Baseball records on this subject are not complete. But other historical records have been found that include Davy Crockett embracing the Alamo in 1836, George Custer embracing the target of the Sioux Nation in 1876 (“The greater the odds, the greater the glory”) and the naval architect of the RMS Titanic embracing icebergs in 1912 (“Unsinkable”).

Joe Maddon on Feb. 27 in response to a question from a San Diego TV outlet said: “We all love San Diego.

‘Anchorman’ really taught us a lot about San Diego.”

Truth-meter reading: True Sun-Times fact-checkers can find no media reports or credible studies to dispute this claim.

CUBS NOTES

Cahill traded return to starting for comfort of Cubs’ ’pen

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Right-hander Trevor Cahill found a comfort zone with the Cubs last season and had personal motivation for wanting to return as a free agent and train near his home in the Phoenix area, where his wife gave birth last month.

But that two-year offer he reportedly turned down to take a one-year, $4.25 million deal with the Cubs? Like most of the hype surrounding this team this spring, it’s a little exaggerated.

Two-year deal?

“Not that I’m aware of,” said Cahill, who made his spring debut Saturday with two scoreless innings in a

start against the Reds. “Some of that stuff wasn’t entirely accurate.”

The National League Central rival Pirates did make him an offer similar to the Cubs’ offer, with the added assurance he would be part of their starting rotation. But Cahill, a former AllStar, said almost every other factor he could think of led him back to Trevor Cahill Chicago, where he said the success he found in the Cubs’ bullpen after his release from the Braves last season was no accident.

“I was just like, ‘If I’m comfortable and I have at least a chance to start, then if I’m going to pitch good enough

to start, I’ll start,’ ” he said. ‘‘If not, I’ll be in the bullpen, where I was comfortable last year.

“I think last year I pitched good just because I had fun and was comfortable.

I felt like [returning] would just give me the best chance to succeed.”

Montero off to fast start: With five hits in his first five spring at-bats, catcher Miguel Montero has the early lead for the Cactus League batting title.

The winner gets an iPad. “Oh, really?” Montero said, quickly dismissing the idea. “Cactus League doesn’t mean anything.”

Besides, he already has two iPads, Montero said. What he rather would have are a few opposite-field singles in his back pocket at the end of camp.

“I really don’t want to get those bloopers right now,” he said. “I want to save it for the season.”

Notes: After downplaying the spectacular catch he made on a deep drive to the gap in left-center, center-field prospect Albert Almora said: “It’s hard (to contribute) offensively at times, but I feel like I should be perfect defensively. I’m not happy if I don’t have a perfect season on defense. I know it’s a crazy thing to say, but that’s just the way I am.”... Manager Joe Maddon’s second annual “Respect Bald” head-shaving event to benefit pediatric-cancer research raised $29,000. Maddon, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and catcher/ outfielder Kyle Schwarber were among the Cubs who got bald for the cause.

• Sunday, March 6, 2016

Joe Maddon on Feb. 24 responded to a question about a nonroster invited player’s chance to make the opening roster with:”Everybody’s got a shot.”

Truth-meter reading: Pants on fire Maddon might have been referring to the 1992 bus accident involving his old Angels, with manager Buck Rodgers suffering a broken elbow, knee and rib. If, say, 14 – or maybe 23 – specific Cubs broke ribs this spring, then, yes, that theoretically could put “everybody” in play for Joe Maddon the roster. But history does not support this statement.

Casey Close, Dexter Fowler’s agent, on Feb. 25 issued a statement in response to reports of a three-year agreement between Fowler and the Orioles before Fowler shocked many in Cubs camp by returning on a one-year deal.

Wrote Close: “Both the Orioles’ front office and members of the media were so busy recklessly spreading rumors that they forgot or simply chose not to concern themselves with the truth.”

Truth-meter reading: Mostly false and completely bogus The Orioles clearly leaked the information that was reported. But Close, who goes out of his way to have less contact with the writers than a salad, could’ve stopped the spread of rumors with one well-placed phone call at any time during the two days reports circulated.

12 BULLS 108, ROCKETS 100

With reinforcements, skid ends

By HERB GOULD For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – It might not have survived a Tom Thibodeau critiquing session, but the Bulls’ defense, bolstered by the return of Jimmy Butler, delivered enough to carry Fred Hoiberg’s scuffling crew to a 108-100 victory over Houston on Saturday night at the United Center.

The Bulls, who snapped a four-game losing streak, gave up 100 points for the 16th straight game. Houston, which shot 40 percent, hit the century mark with 32.7 seconds left.

The Bulls, who had lost eight of 11 games without Butler, not only welcomed their star back from a knee injury, but Taj Gibson (hamstring) joined Butler in the starting lineup after a onegame absence. And Nikola Mirotic (appendicitis) made a surprisingly good appearance far sooner than expected, scoring seven points in 16 minutes.

The Bulls’ free-wheeling offense resulted in a troubling 26 turnovers – a reminder that this team is a work in progress.

There are no guarantees with these befuddling Bulls, who seem to show off their talented roster one game and look like basket cases the next.

The Bulls’ Doug McDermott (left) and the Rockets’ Trevor Ariza go for a loose ball during the first half Saturday at the United Center.

But with Butler back and everyone (except out-for-the-season Joakim Noah) seemingly healthy, salting away a playoff slot in the remaining 21 games seems very do-able. And then, hard to say. The Eastern Conference isn’t exactly loaded with juggernauts.

This win moved the Bulls (31-30)

above .500 and into eighth place in the East.

They are just 9-18 since Jan. 7, when they stood 22-12. Since then, eight players have missed a total of 70 games.

The Bulls got off to a rousing start against Houston, building a high-energy 26-14 lead in the first quarter before

falling behind 39-36 in the second. Despite the ups and downs, they led 55-43 at halftime.

Derrick Rose (17 points, nine assists) was active, showing a good burst and finding open teammates. Rose gave the home crowd a scare when he went down hard, taking a charge. Rose played on, however, and played well.

Rose made a pair of brief trips to the locker room, one in each half.

Mike Dunleavy (12 points) cashed in on some open looks. And Pau Gasol had a halftime double-double (13 points and 10 rebounds) before finishing with 28 and 17.

Most encouragingly, however, Butler played really well, showing no signs of rust. He finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds in 34 minutes before fouling out with 2:34 left.

Defensively, Butler flustered Rockets star James Harden into a 3-for-10 first half, even jumping in front of him for a second-quarter steal and dunk.

Harden kept at it, though, finishing with 36 points on 10-for-25 shooting.

Butler also survived some hard knocks, especially a collision with Harden as the Bulls’ star hurtled after a lost ball. Strangely, Butler was whistled – one of several curious calls by the officials.

BULLS NOTEBOOK

Mirotic makes surprise return to action

By HERB GOULD For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – On Saturday, the Bulls got healthier.

Jimmy Butler (knee) and Taj Gibson (hamstring) already were scheduled to play against the Rockets. Nikola Mirotic, who last played Jan. 25, was a surprise returnee.

Mirotic (appendicitis, hematoma), who had been sidelined by two surgeries, had only returned to practice Friday.

After feeling good in noncontact drills, Mirotic decided to see how he fared in the full practice.

“He made it through full contact (on Friday), and he [wanted] to give it a go,” coach Fred Hoiberg said before the game. “He took a charge – it might be the first one in his life – and he felt great [Saturday]. So the doctors were comfortable with him going out and giving it a shot.”

After a quiet first half, no points in

four minutes, Mirotic was active in the second half, when he drained a pair of 3-pointers and finished with seven points.

The trio of returnees leaves only one sidelined Bull – Joakim Noah, who is out with season-ending shoulder surgery.

Taj was antsy: Although Gibson was listed as questionable, the veteran forward said there was no way he was going to miss Saturday’s game against Taj Gibson Houston, not after squirming while watching the Bulls’ loss Wednesday at Orlando.

“I told them, ‘I’m going to try to play no matter what,’ ” Gibson said. “At the end of the day, we can’t just try to rest right now. We’re competing for a playoff spot. When you go home, you can rest all you want. But right now it’s about the team, team first, try to get some wins.”

Gibson, who had not missed a game until Wednesday, said the Bulls’ defensive struggles made him determined to suit up quickly.

“It was rough to see the last game,” Gibson said. “You’ve got to get back to the basics. It will be fun having Jimmy (Butler) back out there. But we have to put the effort out there, have to come out with the right mindset.”

Butler wants defense: Like Gibson, Butler was excited about the opportunity to help the Bulls, who were 3-8 while he was sidelined, get back on track and secure a playoff berth.

“Very frustrating (to be out),” he said. “But I don’t think we’ve been playing defense all year. I just think we just outscore opponents a lot of the times. We’re a talented group of guys, but not that talented to outscore everybody every night. Obviously, we’ve got to guard. We’ve been saying that all year. I know you [media] guys have heard it a million times. Hopefully, I can help.”

Hoiberg ‘feels good’: Bolstered by his trio of returnees, Hoiberg is feeling relieved, and determined to restore defense and success to a struggling team.

“It feels good,” Hoiberg said. “We just have to get those guys integrated into how we’re trying to play. Jimmy, obviously, gives us a great presence out there, and he’s going to bring guys with him. He gives us a guy on the wing who can defend the elite player in the league.”

Notes: Hoiberg’s distinction as the only NBA coach without a technical this season seemed in danger in the second quarter. But the officials announced they were teeing up a Bulls assistant for giving an unwanted opinion. ... The Bulls’ starting five of Derrick Rose, Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Gibson and Pau Gasol was their 16th different lineup of the season. This was the first time Butler and Dunleavy were on the floor together. ... Bulls players have missed 142 games to illiness or injury this season.

Last year, they missed 148 all season.

BLACKHAWKS

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Versatile Shaw embraces inevitable move to 4th line

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

• Sunday, March 6, 2016

Even for the most selfless team player, the thought of being bumped from the top line to the fourth line typically would be frustrating, if not outright insulting. But the Blackhawks’ fourth line isn’t a typical fourth line, and Andrew Shaw isn’t a typical player.

So when the Hawks finally return to full strength in the coming weeks – Marian Hossa will be back as soon as Wednesday in St. Louis, and Marcus Kruger will be back before the end of the regular season in a month – Shaw won’t complain when his stint as Jonathan Toews’ wing comes to an end. It’s the blessing and the curse of adding three scoring wingers at the trade deadline.

“I don’t think it’s a curse at all,” Shaw countered. “I think it’s a positive. It gives us another chance to go deep in the playoffs. It shows that [management] had the confidence in the team to add more players and make us that much better.”

And indeed, altough Shaw has done an admirable job on the top line since just after Christmas, the Hawks are at their best when he’s in a bottom-six role, providing depth scoring and energy down the lineup. And although most fourth lines play only a handful of minutes a night, the Hawks’ soonto-be-reunited fourth line of Andrew Desjardins, Kruger and Shaw was as big a reason as any that they won the Stanley Cup last spring.

“We just play a style of game that complements each other – aggressive, hard on the puck, good on the forecheck, responsible defensively,” Desjardins said. “I don’t know how else to explain it.

It just seemed right, and it just worked.”

Just like in 2013, when Kruger joined forces with Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik to form a fourth line no other team could match, the Hawks’ depth at forward usually is what separates them from other contenders. That depth hasn’t been there this season, as Patrick Kane’s line has had to carry the entire lineup for much of the season. But by adding Andrew Ladd (who’s taking Shaw’s spot on the top line) and Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise (who are likely to flank Teuvo Teravainen on the third line), the Hawks suddenly have a formidable four-line rotation again.

It’s a sign of Shaw’s versatility and

“He’s a guy that can pretty much fill any role,” Kane said. “I know that he’s been a big fan favorite ever since he’s come to the team, but he does a lot of things on the ice that can get other players excited, too – whether it’s fights or big hits or taking hits to make plays, especially at his size. He’s a valuable asset. And he’s a great guy for the locker room, too. I think we all enjoy his presence here. He brings a lot to the team.”

That team-first mentality – nobody can spout a well-worn but well-meaning teamwork cliché quite as well as Shaw – is why he’s not silently stewing or openly whining about his inevitable “demotion” down the lineup, even in a contract year. Shaw will be a restricted free agent after the season, and although he has a career-high 20 assists through only 66 games to go along with his 11 goals, it’s his all-around usefulness that has endeared him to his teammates, and to his coach.

“You look at our team, and anyone can play in that (top-line) spot,” Shaw said. “We’ve got four lines that can play hockey, and play hockey well. No matter where I’m playing, I’m just excited for the playoffs, and to finish the season strong. It should be fun.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press

Iowa guard Mike Gesell (bottom) reaches for the loose ball, competing with Michigan guard Zak Irvin (top) in the first half Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Whitehead made 10 of 15 shots, including six 3-pointers, for a career high 33 points and Seton Hall wrapped up the regular season Saturday.

Seton Hall (22-8, 12-6) heads into the Big East tournament as the third seed while DePaul (9-21, 3-15) is ninth.

Minnesota 52, Rutgers 75: The victory was the first in conference for the Scarlet Knights (7-24, 1-17) since a 67-62 win over No. 4 Wisconsin on Jan. 11, 2015. It was their first win overall since beating Massachusetts-Lowell on Dec. 28.

Minnesota (8-22, 2-16) never had a

chance despite beating Rutgers, 836,1 on Feb. 23.

No. 16 Iowa 71, Michigan 61: Anthony Clemmons added 12 points for the Hawkeyes (21-9, 12-6 Big Ten), who used a 14-5 run to take a 15-point lead with 10:13 to play. Michigan (20-11, 10-8) scored the next 10 points, but the Wolverines couldn’t pull any closer down the stretch and now may need a strong showing in the Big Ten tournament to make it to the NCAAs. Iowa won 12 Big Ten games for a second consecutive season. That’s only happened two other times for the Hawkeyes, in 1982 and 1988.

DORAL, Fla. – Rory McIlroy came into the Cadillac Championship insisting that everything about his game is solid right now, and that his ability to contend rested solely on his mental game.

His mind must be right, because he played a mistake-free third round at Doral on Saturday.

McIlroy made four birdies and no bogeys in the third round on the Blue Monster, his 4-under 68 getting him to 12 under for the week and three shots ahead of Adam Scott and defending champion Dustin Johnson with 18 holes left in the first World Golf Championships event of the season.

If he wins Sunday, McIlroy would go over $30 million in career PGA Tour earnings, and could get handed the trophy by the course owner himself.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he will attend Sunday’s final round, although it’s unclear how visible he will be or how much of the day he’ll spend at Doral.

“I think it’s Rory’s to lose, really,” said Danny Willett, who shot 72 and is in a group five shots off the pace. “We’re going to have to go out there and play clever and play aggressive when we can, and hopefully we can knock a few birdies off and post a good number.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: HORIZON LEAGUE TOURNAMENT

Wright State rolls past Illinois-Chicago, 74-43 The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – JT Yoho had 15 points and Daniel Mortensen 14 and third-seeded Wright State cruised to a 74-43 win over Illinois-Chicago in the first round of the Horizon League tournament Saturday.

The Raiders (20-12), who have won five straight, play the Youngstown State-Detroit winner in the second round Sunday.

Wright State finished 14 of 28 behind the arc, 15 of 40 inside.

Green Bay 65, Cleveland St. 53: Jordan Fouse scored 18 points, Carrington Love had seven steals – a Horizon League

tournament record – and No. 4 seed Green Bay beat ninth-seeded Cleveland State on Saturday in the first round.

Charles Cooper added 15 points for Green Bay (20-12), which posted its third consecutive 20-win season for the first time since 1990-92.

First-year coach Linc Darner is the second coach in program history to win 20 games in his inaugural season.

Demonte Flannigan led Cleveland State (9-23) with 15 points.

Green Bay plays No. 5 seed Milwaukee on Sunday in the second round.

Milwaukee 86, N. Kentucky 69: Matt Tiby scored 21 points with 11 re-

bounds and Austin Arians added 18 points to lead fifth-seeded Milwaukee to a win over Northern Kentucky in the first round of the Horizon League tournament Saturday.

Milwaukee (20-12) advances to play No. 4 seed Green Bay on Sunday.

Eighth-seeded Northern Kentucky (9-21) ended its season losing seven straight.

White paced Northern Kentucky with 23 points and Lavone Holland III added 13.

Detroit 92, Youngstown St. 79: Carlton Brundidge scored 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead No. 6 seed Detroit past No. 7 seed Youngstown State in the

first round of the Horizon League tournament Saturday night.

Anton Wilson added 23 points and eight rebounds and Jaleel Hogan finished with 15 points for Detroit (16-14), which now plays Wright State in the second round Sunday.

Cameron Morse led Youngstown State (11-21) with 26 points and seven assists.

Detroit led 47-36 at halftime and extended its lead to 59-44 on a pair of free throws by Josh McFolley early in the second.

Youngstown State managed to get to within six-points (77-71) after two Donlan free throws with 5:38 left.

• Sunday, March 6, 2016

LaVell Boyd scored a career-high 26 points and added five rebounds and four assists, and Missouri-Kansas City made a season-high 13 3-pointers in an 82-53 win over Chicago State on Saturday.

Boyd hit 5 of 10 3s as UMKC (11-18, 4-10 Western Athletic Conference) shot 13 of 26 from deep. Martez Harrison added 11 points and seven assists, and Grant Leach made 3 of 4 from deep for nine points.

Fred Sims Jr. was perfect on six free throws and scored 11 points for Chicago State (4-27, 0-14), the lone Cougar to score in double figures.

No. 2 Michigan St. 91, Ohio St. 76: Denzel Valentine and his fellow Michigan State seniors went out in style, routing Ohio State and compelling their coach to make a bold statement in public.

The Spartans (26-5, 13-5 Big Ten) have won 10 of their last 11 games, earning No. 2 seeding in the conference tournament.

The Buckeyes (19-12, 11-7) have lost just two of their last seven games, with both setbacks coming against Michigan State.

Valentine’s 3-pointer started a 10-1 run to give the Spartans a 31-22 lead and control of the game for good midway through the first half. He made a 3-pointer and set up Forbes for a shot from beyond the arc to put the Spartans ahead by 20 with 12-plus minutes left.

16 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: TOP 25 ROUNDUP

No. 1 Kansas keeps winning streak alive, beats Iowa St. The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAWRENCE, Kan. – Perry Ellis scored 22 points, including a hook shot over Iowa State’s Georges Niang to ice the game, and No. 1 Kansas stretched its nation-leading home winning streak to 42 games with an 85-78 victory over the 21st-ranked Cyclones on Saturday.

Devonte Graham and Wayne Selden Jr. finished with 16 points apiece for Kansas (27-4, 15-3 Big 12), which has won 33 straight home finales.

Ellis, playing in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, spearheaded an 11-0 run over the final 4:45 with a hustle play. He ended it with an emphatic dunk.

Niang led the Cyclones (21-10, 10-8) with 22 points and Jameel McKay added 19 points and nine rebounds.

No. 3 Villanova 84, Georgetown 71: Josh Hart scored 18 points, Kris Jenkins had 17 and Villanova closed out the regular season with a win over Georgetown.

The Big East champion Wildcats (27-4, 16-2) dominated from the opening tip and looked every bit the favorite to win the conference tournament in New York. Win a second straight Big East tourney, and the Wildcats are all but guaranteed a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

L.J. Peak led Georgetown (14-17, 7-11) with 31 points.

No. 4 Virginia 68, No. 11 Louisville 46:

Mike Tobey had 15 points and a career-high 20 rebounds and No. 4 Virginia stifled No. 11 Louisville for the second time this season Saturday night.

The game was the last of the season for Louisville (23-8, 12-6), which has a self-imposed postseason ban for this year for recruiting violations.

Malcolm Brogdon had 17 points and Anthony Gill 15 for the Cavaliers (246, 13-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who began the game hoping No. 17 Duke would beat No. 8 North Carolina, giving Virginia a chance to claim a share of its third consecutive ACC regular-season title.

The Tar Heels prevailed, however, 76-72, and will be the top seed when the tournament opens Tuesday in Washington, D.C. No. 5 Xavier 98, Creighton 93: Trevon Bluiett hit a pair of 3s that got Xavier going in the second half, and the Musketeers matched their school record for regular-season victories by beating Creighton.

Xavier (26-4, 14-4) has clinched the No. 2 seed in the Big East tournament.

The Musketeers’ 2007-08 team also won 26 in the regular season on its way to the school’s second NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance.

Creighton (18-13, 9-9) hit its shots early and led for most of the first half.

Xavier held on with free throws and fin-

Myles Davis had 24 points, including four free throws in the final minute. Bluiett finished with 17 as five Xavier players reached double figures.

No. 6 Oklahoma 75, TCU 67: Buddy Hield scored 21 points in his final regular-season game for Oklahoma, and the sixth-ranked Sooners beat TCU. The nation’s second-leading scorer was 7 of 12 from the field with a teamhigh six rebounds as the Sooners (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) clinched at least the No. 3 seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament.

Brandon Parrish scored 20 points for the Horned Frogs (11-20, 2-16), who have three 20-loss seasons and an 8-64 regular-season record in the Big 12 in four years under coach Trent Johnson.

Virginia Tech 77, No. 7 Miami 62: Justin Bibbs scored 19 points to lead Virginia Tech to a win over Miami.

Bibbs hit 7 of 10 from the floor, including five 3-pointers to lift the Hokies (18-13, 10-8 ACC) to their fifth straight win. Virginia Tech knocked off its second top-10 opponent of the season, having beaten then-No. 4 Virginia on Jan. 4.

Miami (24-6, 13-5), which had won three straight and eight of its past nine,

could have assured itself a share of the ACC’s regular-season crown with a win.

UNC 76, No. 17 Duke 72: Brice Johnson had 18 points and 21 rebounds, and the eighth-ranked Tar Heels dominated the glass and held on to beat No. 17 Duke on Saturday night and lock up the top seed in the ACL Tournament.

North Carolina never trailed and rode its inside game, building a 64-29 rebounding advantage while outscoring Duke 42-20 in the paint.

No. 9 Oregon 76, USC 66: Tyler Dorsey scored 19 points, Elgin Cook added 17 and Oregon beat Southern California to clinch the Pac-12 title outright, the Ducks’ first since 2002, and fifth in school history.

Oregon (25-6, 14-4) overcame a 20-minute power outage in the first half at Galen Center and the Trojans’ early run in the second half to close out the regular season with their fifth straight victory and 11th in 13 games.

The Trojans (20-11, 9-9) lost to Oregon for the 12th straight time, the Ducks’ longest-ever winning streak against USC.

No. 10 West Virginia 69, No. 19 Baylor 58:

Jaysean Paige had 14 points and West

Virginia wrapped up second place in the Big 12 Conference with a victory at Baylor.

Coach Bob Huggins’ Mountaineers (24-7, 13-5 Big 12) go into the conference tournament with a four-game winning streak.

The Bears (21-10, 10-8) finished 4-5 at home in the Big 12. They’re the only one of the league’s top seven teams to finish with a losing record in conference home games.

No. 13 Utah 57, Colorado 55: Jakob Poetl had 16 points and 13 rebounds and No. 13 Utah rallied for a victory over Colorado in the regular-season finale on Saturday night.

Colorado seemed to put the game away with a 16-0 run in the second half that pushed the lead to 45-31.

The Utes were 0 for 9 during that stretch with four turnovers and went scoreless for nearly seven minutes.

Josh Scott led Colorado with 11 points while Tory Miller scored seven off the bench.

No. 18 Arizona 94, Stanford 62: Gabe York, a senior playing in his final home game, made nine 3-pointers to tie the school and McKale Center record and scored a career-high 32 points in Arizona’s rout of Stanford.

The Wildcats also set a school record by making 18 3s on Saturday in 36 attempts.

Arizona’s victory clinched at least the No. 4 seed in next week’s Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas, meaning the Wildcats (24-7, 12-6 Pac-12) will get a first-round bye.

Roscoe Allen and Marcus Allen scored 16 apiece for Stanford (15-14, 8-10).

No. 20 Texas A&M 76, Vanderbilt 67:

Jalen Jones scored 17 points as Texas A&M earned at least a share of its first regular-season league title in 30 years with a victory over Vanderbilt.

Freshmen Tyler Davis added 16 for the Aggies (24-7, 13-5 SEC), who had a three-way share of the title in 1986.

Wade Baldwin IV and Damian Jones each scored 11 points for Vanderbilt (19-12, 11-7 SEC).

No. 22 Kentucky 94, LSU 77: Jamal Murray scored 22 points, Skal Labissiere added 18 and Kentucky shot 53 percent to race past LSU and claim a share of the Southeastern Conference regular-season title.

The Wildcats (23-8, 13-5 SEC) finished tied with Texas A&M and will have the No. 2 seed in next week’s tournament in Nashville, Tennessee.

Murray’s 6-of-12 shooting with four 3-pointers led the way for Kentucky.

Tim Quarterman’s 23 points led LSU (18-13, 11-7 SEC).

Book looks at how top artists choose, display works at home

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press NEW YORK – Imagine being invited on a house tour of the homes of 25 wellknown contemporary artists, strolling around their big, airy downtown lofts and other city abodes as they take you aside and explain how they chose the artworks displayed there.

The new book “Artists Living with Art” (Abrams) is that tour.

The coffee-table book, photographed

by Oberto Gili and written by Stacey Goergen and Amanda Benchley, with a foreword by art historian Robert Storr, includes dozens of photos and interviews with the artists, most of whom live within blocks of each other.

Chuck Close, Will Cotton, Rashid Johnson, Marilyn Minter, Cindy Sherman and others discuss how they select and display the artworks decorating their homes, and their thoughts on collecting. The result is an artistic and original approach to interiors.

Here, art tends to be moved frequently – often every six months – and paintings can be overlapped, often leaning casually against walls.

Chinese scholars’ rocks – stones naturally formed by the weather into interesting forms – and a range of handmade ceramics are featured in almost every home. And each intimate interior reflects friendships and inspirations, and includes an often-unexpected array of collections, many displayed in unusual ways.

“Through looking at the things artists own and listening to their stories of what it means to them, you can learn more about their work, inspirations and relationships,” explained Goergen, who previously worked in the curatorial department of the Whitney Museum of Modern Art. “In every home featured, we saw a passion for form,” she said, mentioning the artists’ shared interest in rock formations.

“Joan Jonas collects interesting stones or rocks herself and sometimes gives them to her friends as gifts,” Benchley added.

Unlike professional art collectors, who

Artist Chuck Close, in his home with his Old Masters paintings, is included in the book “Artists Living with Art” published by Abrams. might buy art as an investment or focus on a specific genre, or interior designers, who select works with an eye to decorating a space, these artists require a deeper, more personal connection for a work to gain entrée.

The results can be startling, like Close’s passion for Old Master canvases and drawings, sometimes alongside more contemporary masters such as Roy Lichtenstein and Willem de Kooning.

“If an artist’s work can hold the wall with that of his heroes, he knows he’s on the right track,” writes Storr in the book.

The light-filled loft Will Cotton shares with Rose Dergan, a staffer at Gagosian Gallery, features plenty of his own work.

An enormous sculpture of stacked, lifesize plaster cakes stands near a huge front window, not far from enormous landscape paintings featuring lollipop trees and gingerbread houses. There are portraits of beautiful women clad in marshmallows or cake, or lounging seductively on cotton-candy clouds.

The loft also features works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and David Salle.

But like many of the artists featured in this book, Cotton said he seldom buys art, and accumulated much of his collection through bartering.

Flat, metal file cabinets store a decade’s worth of drawings by fellow artists in a drawing group he has hosted at his home since 2002.

“Drawing is so direct. It’s the moment of thought,” Cotton said in an interview in his airy TriBeCa loft. “It’s the structure of painting. I always make a drawing before I make a painting.”

Some of his most cherished drawings – and among the few he has bought – are dozens of 1960s rocket-ship drawings auctioned off by NASA and drawn by engineers, not artists. One of his favorites explores the ways an astronaut could exit a lunar module on the surface of the moon.

“This one looks like a fishing pole that will pick up one of the astronauts and deposit him on the ground,” Cotton explained with a grin. “It’s so ridiculous, but I love these because they remind me of my approach to working through ideas. ...

I love idea-drawings of any kind.”

EnvironmentTip To idle or not to idle

We’ve heard that in winter your car needs to warm up.

But in fact, idling in winter has no benefit to newer model cars. Auto experts say no more than 30 seconds of idling is needed before you start driving. The engine will

warm up faster being driven.

Indeed, it is better to turn your engine off and start it again. This is because most modern cars do not have carburetors, which needed to warm up to work well. New cars use electronic fuel injection. This makes the problem

of warming up the car before driving irrelevant.

Even short periods of idling are significantly damaging. If every car in the U.S. idles for 6 minutes a day, 3 billion gallons of fuel is wasted annually and costs drivers $10 billion.

That’s a lot of vehicle exhaust

containing pollutants that are harmful to your family’s health and the environment unnecessarily being released into the atmosphere, also contributing to climate change.

Woodstock crafter’s jewelry appears on TV shows such as ‘Jane the Virgin’

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

TOP: A necklace by Monica Sargeant will be among the items shown at the ninth annual Affair of the Arts Fine Art & Artisan Gift Show. ABOVE: Butterfly, an encaustic by Cindy Lesperance, was the first-place winner at the November Affair of the Arts show. Lesperance also will show work March 13 at The Shores of Turtle Creek in Spring Grove.

Created in the basement studio of her Woodstock home, Monica Sargeant’s jewelry has made its way to television.

Sargeant’s pieces – part of her Delia’s Delight Jewelry sold through Deliasdelight.etsy.com – have appeared on characters on “Jane the Virgin,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Cedar Cove,” and have been gifted the past two years to those attending the Golden Globes and will be gifted at the MTV Movie Awards, scheduled for April 9.

No, she typically doesn’t get paid for celebrity use of her jewelry, but it definitely gives her something to talk about.

“I’m not the best salesperson,” she said with a laugh. “It’s kind of like one of those interesting points.”

Sargeant is among 40 artists taking part in the ninth annual Affair of the Arts Fine Art & Artisan Gift Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 13 at The Shores of Turtle Creek, 7908 Winn Road, Spring Grove.

The show will feature about 10,000 square feet of original artwork and artisan crafts, artist demonstrations, food and drink, including wine, mixed drinks and other beverages. Admission is free.

For information, visit http://affairofthearts.org.

Along with jewelry, the show will feature original creations, such as clothing

by KatKo Designs, encaustic artwork by Cindy Lesperance, shadowboxes by Joe and Kathleen Isacson (event organizer) and fiber creations by Steve and Erin Whalen.

Sargeant has participated in the show the past couple of years, having created jewelry using metals, natural stones, fibers, resins and glass for more than 10 years.

“It’s what I do in my free time,” said Sargeant, who also works in a law office and teaches jewelry-making to anyone with the enthusiasm to learn. “It’s kind of like therapy for me.”

At the show, she plans to feature her Karmic Serenity Collection, based on the “belief that the more serenity you put into the world, the more you will get back.” A portion of the collection’s proceeds will be donated to the Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 Music Boosters, of which she said her children, 14-year-old Christopher and 18-year-old Delia, have benefited.

Sargeant’s work has made its way to

Hollywood the past couple years. With the help of an artisan group, she basically donates her jewelry to stylists, who then use it as they see fit. At times, she’ll get emails about an upcoming show and character. She’s then challenged to create a piece she thinks will suit the character.

If she’s fortunate, copies of the jewelry will be bought for continuity, stunt people or in case something happens to the original, she said.

As for gifts to awards shows, in which she typically sends 50 to 100 pieces, “It’s at the artist’s expense. The payoff is you get seen somewhere you might not normally be seen.”

So far, her jewelry has been worn during season three of “Cedar Cove” by Teryl Rothery, who played Grace Sherman; on Feb. 3 in “Law and Order: SVU”

by Abby Miller, who played Libby Parker; and in season two of “Jane the Virgin” by a teen playing Jane’s mother in a flashback sequence.

The pieces include a sterling silver magnesite carnelian wire wrap necklace on “Cedar Cove” – “It kind of has like a tribal feel to it,” – a fine silver skeleton key pendant on “Law and Order: SVU” and a copper cuff bracelet for “Jane the Virgin.”

She’s also sent pieces to “Vampire Diaries,” “Bones” and “Scream Queens.”

“I don’t like things that look perfect,” she said of her creations. “I like that it looks like it was made by somebody.”

Emotional intelligence affects success, mental health I have been thinking a lot these days about what I see as a growing lack of compassion in our nation.

I’m not just talking about the lack of respect displayed by our political leaders, but by our children and other family members.

I believe this started when we stopped having face-to-face conversations and started communicating electronically. Don’t get me wrong, I think computers and smart phones are wonderful tools, and I use them all the time. However, it is almost impossible to connect emotionally through electronic devices. We don’t even talk on the phone anymore. We text, and miss the subtle nuances conveyed by the human voice.

The result is we don’t see and mirror each other’s emotions the way we did in past generations. Research has shown emotional intelligence – the ability to read and understand the feelings of others, and the ability to regulate our own emotional responses – is more important in predicting

success than any other factor. I know that’s hard to believe, when we see a marvelous example of emotional dysregulation seemingly winning the Republican primary night after night on TV, but it is, nevertheless, true.

The result of all of this alienation is we are increasingly lonely, depressed and angry individuals, and that state of affairs leads to violence, indifference and division.

Ideally, we learn empathy at home from our parents when we are small.

We see their faces, study their emotions. They ask us how we are feeling, give us words for those feelings and help us to learn the value of taking a time out to rest, to eat, to think. But often that does not happen. Today’s parents are overly concerned about helping their children excel. I’m thinking about the frenzied mother of my four grandchildren who is so busy ferrying them from one after-school activity to the next that the only conversations they seem to have are in the car. The kids are playing with

their games while she is driving. If their eyes even meet in the rear-view mirror, it’s a miracle. When everybody is home at the same time, the kids are in their rooms doing homework or the family is gathered around the television.

At the dinner table, conversation centers around how well or poorly things are going at school, on the team or in popularity. Excellence is expected, and, if it is lacking, somebody is at fault. Either the child isn’t doing his homework, or the teacher isn’t motivating her, or it’s because daddy isn’t buying the right bat. The kids almost never experience “free play,” when they can make up their own games, plays, etc. All that is considered a “waste of time.”

What can be done about it? For starters, if you have a child at home, limit the amount of time they spend with their electronic toys. Talk to them about their feelings. Share your own. Ask them how they think so-and-so feels about what happened.

Teach them to share by asking them to imagine how they would feel if nobody shared with them. Do something for someone else without expecting anything in return, and let them witness it. (My personal favorite is to pay for the car behind me at McDonald’s.) Don’t allow cell phones at the dinner table. Ask everyone to share one good thing that happened during the day. Clean up the kitchen together, and keep the conversation going.

It is much harder to teach these skills to an adult who has constructed a view of reality that does not include human vulnerability, compassion and empathy. But, it can be learned, and, I think, must be if we are to survive as a species.

Changes gradual, but noticeable to others “Kathy” couldn’t see her own improvement. She hadn’t exactly ridden into her first AA meeting on the wings of success. In fact, she had burned most of her bridges.

Her relationship with her husband was strained to the breaking point, and she no longer was on speaking terms with her two daughters. Her job was in reasonable shape only because she was new and hadn’t managed to offend her manager yet like she had at her last two jobs. After being fired twice in the past six months, her contention about her most recent job change was that she was someone who spoke her mind at all times and told the truth. Unfortunately, as an inexperienced assistant manager, she might better have taken a learning role first before offering unsolicited advice to corporate representatives.

Her attendance was based largely on what she felt was fair, and that was

based on when and how much she drank and how severe the hangover.

Her entrance to AA came as a shock to those around Kathy because she had let people know more than once that it was for losers, not for her. At a pre-employment physical, she was told she had elevated liver enzymes and a heart arrhythmia problem. She panicked and called an old friend who had gotten sober to ask how she did it and ended up at her first meeting.

To her surprise, she related to many of the women who spoke. Nobody told her what to do, and nobody judged her; in fact, they seemed to understand. Kathy decided to give AA another look and started to attend to meetings regularly. Within a month, she had gotten a sponsor to help her with the 12 steps. What she came to understand was the core of AA, or what her fellow members called the solution. She started to

learn how to live in the solution rather than fumble through life angry, dishonest and self-righteous.

Within the first month, her older daughter texted her for the first time in more than a year to see how she was doing after she had heard from her dad that Kathy was sober and going to AA. They had a short but cordial exchange. Kathy thought nothing of it. In her second month, her boss noticed she was “very good with customers” and complimented her. Kathy thought nothing of it.

In her third month, a new group member needed a ride to meetings, and Kathy started driving her a few times a week. They became friends.

Kathy thought nothing of it.

When Kathy walked into her meetings, she felt comfortable, was greeted by many by name and had a beginner’s understanding of the step process. Kathy started to think something was different. She knew she

felt better, and it would have been a coincidence if everyone else in her life suddenly had gotten nicer.

Although everything in her life hadn’t gotten better, her attitude had changed dramatically, and that change had made a huge difference in how she viewed the world and, subsequently, how the world treated her. Her physical health still needed work, but she would tell you she sure hadn’t seen the other positive changes coming at all.

She arrived at AA a scared, cynical, unhappy victim of circumstances and is evolving into a responsible, giving, happy contributor.

The word aquamarine is derived from the word aqua meaning “water” and maris meaning “sea”.

This gem comes in several shades of blue ranging from blue-green to a light sky blue. Aquamarine is a 7.5 to 8 on the Moh’s Hardness Scale. It is a member of the beryl family and is readily available in many different shapes and sizes.

It is said to protect against seasickness, protect against dangers at sea and is thought to originate from a mermaids jewelry box. Aquamarine is also believed to bring wisdom, success, true love, peace, and popularity to those who wear it. It is believed to reawaken tired marriages and symbolizes safety and security. Aquamarine has long been believed to be a curer of problems with the vocal cords, speech and problems with the thyroid gland.

Beware the Four Horsemen in relationships Note to readers: Love 101 is a new Northwest Herald relationship blog.

Follow Molly Rodriguez’s advice at NWHerald.com/features/relationships.

What do arguments look like in your relationship? You know, that moment when you are not exactly sure what just happened, but know you are into something deep and not quite sure where it originated.

Do you raise your voice? Do you make a mean joke? Do you cross your arms or walk away? Maybe, if you are emotionally and socially advanced, you listen to their side and try to understand where they are coming from?

Well, if you are like me, then you likely are not that emotionally and socially developed, and the argument often becomes one-sided. I want my husband to understand my side. I want him to know where I am coming from and what I am feeling. I don’t always

LOVE 101 Molly Rodriguez know how to fully express myself, and my attempts can be damaging. I recently caught myself rolling my eyes at Chris, and when I realized what I had done, I didn’t feel good about it.

But the eye rolling felt familiar, like something I had been doing for years.

It got me thinking, what do these little expressions represent and how damaging is it to a relationship?

Dr. John Gottman, relationship researcher and expert, has studied the behavior of couples for more than 20 years and can tell whether a couple will end up divorced or living parallel lives with 91 percent accuracy in just 5 minutes. He examines how a couple argues and whether there are Poisons

adno=0340112 adno adn o=034 =0340112 0112

(Dr. Gottman calls them the Four Horseman) in their arguments. The Four Poisons are: • Criticism: An assault on someone’s character or personality. It is an over-generalized statement and can be hurtful, such as, “You are always late.

Why can’t you look at a clock?” or, “You have changed and it is annoying.”

• Contempt: Conveys disgust toward the person you are talking to and originates from long-simmering, negative thoughts. It includes (but is not limited to) behaviors such as belligerence, eye rolling, mockery or snide humor.

• Defensiveness: You will excuse yourself from responsibility and point the finger at your partner. In a defensive state, your relationship will not grow.

• Stonewalling: The last poison to arrive in your relationship, and it is toxic. It occurs when one partner ex-

cuses her/himself of the relationship by avoiding eye contact, walking out or by hiding behind the TV or a glass of scotch.

If you have stained your relationship with a poison, you are not alone!

Each one of us can relate to at least one of these poisons. The intention of our behavior (the poison) is an attempt to change something in our relationship.

Unfortunately, the poisons do not serve your relationship in any way – they are called poisons for a reason.

They are toxic, and each moment using them will stain your relationship.

Fortunately, it is never too late to become aware of the Four Poisons and start making a shift toward love, growth and longevity.

After making it to among the final 5 contestants in Peapod’s Next Best competition, LITH Butcher on the Block owner looks to next step

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

S

triving to become “Peapod’s Next Best,” Lake in the Hills’ Butcher on the Block and its gourmet sausages have earned a bit

of fame.

A couple of segments of ABC 7’s Windy City LIVE featured the 15-year-old business and its owner, Tom Yucuis, as he advanced from one of 171 entries in a Chicago-area contest for a one-year distribution deal from Peapod to a top five finalist.

Leading online grocer Peapod started the on-air contest Feb. 1 and will announce the winner March 7 on ABC 7 Windy City LIVE. Yucuis made it through this past week, appearing on the news channel Feb. 29 and March 3 as Peapod narrowed its finalists. On March 3, Butcher on the Block – with the gourmet sausage flavors of bacon and cheddar, Philly cheesesteak, chicken spinach mozzarella, portabella swiss and jalopeño cheddar – went up against a BBQ sauce company and failed to advance any further.

Still, Yucuis and his business have thrived from the attention.

“The residual effect we’re getting from the show is incredible,” he said.

“Already, our phone has been ringing off the hook.”

The news segments featuring Butcher on the Block reached 87,000 and 109,000 households respectively, bringing new exposure to the business, which features more than 60 types of sausages and constantly is adding new varieties.

Despite being eliminated from the contest, Yucuis was asked by Peapod to send 25 samples of his products to the company.

From there, he said, he could end up with a distribution deal after all.

Author Spotlight CATHERINE NOLAN & ASHLEY M. WILSON Hometown: McHenry atest Book: “The Audacity to Spy” Publisher: Technics Publications Release Date: August 2014 What’s your book about?

The book reveals how your personal data (PII or Personally Identifiable Information) is being compromised by data brokers, hackers and the government. It outlines ways to limit the amount of your personal data being collected and sold to identity thieves and marketing firms. Teens often do not realize when they post on social media how their private thoughts are being used by unscrupulous data brokers and how what they post can come back to haunt them in later years when they apply for a job. Adults also need to realize that any information they post online is fair game for marketing firms and hackers. This book was written to educate people about these threats and give helpful advice about stopping the flow of their private information.

Where did the idea come from?

When Cathy became a victim of identity fraud through the hacking of her credit card information after a theft, she began extensive investigation into credit card and identity theft. Her research led to this book, which describes the many ways personal information is being compromised and how the average person can protect themselves and their digital assets. As an attorney, Ashley became interested in the growing threat to privacy and the lack of legal protection afforded to individuals by the government and our court system.

Why is this story important to you?

Cathy was interested in Data Privacy even before she had her own identity compromised when a thief broke into the trunk of her car while she was in Los Angeles and stole a suitcase containing her passport, address book and many other items that could identify her. Her daughter subsequently received a telephone call from the thief offering to sell her passport back to her if she would meet him at an L.A. gas station. Naturally, she declined and informed the police,

but was dismayed to find little or nothing was done to apprehend the thief. When she told her story to her colleagues, she found most of them had similar stories of having their personal data stolen. Cathy and Ashley started to do research on the subject, and the result is this book, which not only warns people of the many ways thieves or hackers can steal private data but also about the glut of public information available to data brokers and law enforcement.

I think some of the revelations will shock people. In each chapter, we not only tell true stories of what can happen, but we give tips to safeguard your personal privacy and that of your families.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

It took six months to write the book. Cathy did research on each aspect of data privacy, including the ways in which your car “spies” on you, social media, phone apps, medical identity theft, the N.S.A. and many other ways private data is compromised. Ashley is Cathy’s granddaughter and, as an attorney, she wrote a chapter on protecting digital assets and did the other legal research.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

What was the hardest part?

There is so much information about identity theft and the loss of private data it was difficult to decide what to include and what to exclude. In each chapter, we wrote about ways in which people had been duped into giving out their PII data and then listed ways in which the average person could make changes to stop allowing marketing firms and hackers to use their information.

What is your education/background?

Ashley M. Wilson, JD, is an attorney at law practicing in Illinois and Wisconsin. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois and received her law degree at Marquette University.

She has her own law firm in Richmond.

Catherine Nolan graduated from Louis University, has an MBA from Lake Forest School of Management and a certificate in international business from Cambridge. She has 30 years of experience as an information analyst.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

Even though there are many articles written about identity theft and the loss of privacy in America, we decided to put as much information as we could into one book with chapters focused on the different types of data theft.

We think it is important for people to understand how pervasive the loss of PII data has become and for people to fight back.

What’s next for you?

We have given several presentations about data security and data governance at conferences in San Diego, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Chicago, Indianapolis, Madison and others. We have conducted a data security class at McHenry County College and will have two more classes in the spring. We also have been approached to collaborate on a new book about data security and data privacy.

Ringing

TRUE Bell choir celebrates 40 years

Daryl Quitalig – For Shaw Media

Bellmaster Toni Gambini (left) goes over music with Alec Erbland, both of Crystal Lake, during a Jubilate Adult Handbell Choir rehearsal Wednesday at the First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake. TOP: Mary Jane Nester of Crystal Lake is seen in the reflection of an E6 handbell.

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Placed in Karen Snodgrass’ hands 40 years ago, the bells at the First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake still are ringing.

What began with 37 bells – bought in 1976 and still in use at the church – has grown to more than 220 handbells and handchimes used by five bell and chime choirs, with players ranging in age from third-graders to adults.

The size and popularity of the program is rare among area churches, just as handbell choirs were years ago when ministers approached Snodgrass with the idea. Back then, the bells, often played in the pubs of England, weren’t really known as the art form fans see them as today.

“I hadn’t even heard of a bell choir before,” said Snodgrass, who since has retired from directing the church choirs but will perform at 4 p.m. March 13 with the church’s Jubilate Adult Handbell Choir as part of a 40th anniversary celebration concert.

“The first time I heard a bell choir, I was brought to tears because I had no idea this medium, when played so well, could touch your heart the way it did,” remembered Snodgrass, a voice and music teacher at the time. “It just totally grabbed me, and that was when I went to get trained.”

She learned from the best, working

with the late Don Allured, known as a pioneer of handbell ringing and a past president of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers. Snodgrass ultimately served as chairman of the group’s Midwest chapter.

Along with the adult choir performance, the upcoming concert also will feature the church’s Good Vibrations High School Handbell Choir and a song dedicated to late bell ringer Kimberly Keegan, who died in 2012 after playing bells since sixth-grade at the church.

Keegan’s high school daughter, Cassidy, will perform the song “I Was There To Hear Your Borning Cry” – commissioned by the church in Keegan’s memory – with the adult choir.

The event will celebrate generations of bell-ringing at the church. Snodgrass’ daughter, Robin Restrepo, now helps direct under Bellmaster Toni Gambini, who has overseen the choirs for the past two decades, since Snodgrass’ retirement. Snodgrass’ grandchildren now play bells, as well.

Under her leadership and still today, the choirs have taken part in festivals, and the high school choir has gone on short tours every spring.

The dedication of players, especially younger generations pulled in numerous directions, through the years is a testament to the leadership and its continuity, those involved say.

See BELL CHOIR, page 11

“It’s an art form not only for your ears, but also for your eyes.

If you’re in front of a really good bell choir, it’s inspiring just because of the visual grace of it.”

Toni Gambini, bellmaster

Daryl Quitalig – For Shaw Media

Donna Eversman of Crystal Lake writes notes on her sheet music during a Jubilate Adult Handbell Choir rehearsal Wednesday at the First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake.

The church will be celebrating its 40th anniversary with a concert at 4 p.m. March 13.

First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake Bell Program 40th Anniversary Celebration Concert WHEN: 4 p.m. March 13 WHERE: First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake, 461 Pierson St., Crystal Lake INFO: Featuring the church’s Jubilate Adult Handbell Choir and Good Vibrations High School Handbell Choir, under

the direction of Toni Gambini, bellmaster. The concert will include the work of great composers, such as Cathy Moklebusts’s double bell choir arrangement of “Simple Gifts,” Michael Kastner’s “Little Fugue” (featuring Matt Potts on orchestral chimes) and Michael Joy’s “Proclamation.”

Moklebust’s “I Was There To Hear Your Borning Cry” will be performed in tribute to late bell ringer Kimberly Keegan. The concert is free, but a free-will offering will be taken. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Information: 815-459-6010 or www.fcc-cl. org.

Many of those who played in high school have returned to play as adults, Gambini said. And because of their years of playing, the choirs are at higher skill levels than most other churches, said Gambini, who came to Crystal Lake from Colorado to head up the choirs part time more than 20 years ago.

“I heard this incredible hand choir,” she said of her initial visit to the First Congregational Church.

“I was inspired by what a bell choir could do. [Snodgrass] got people excited about it and people involved. … Nobody is a paid musician. They’re all volunteers. She just took the mantle. She broke the ground and planted the seed.”

Bellringers must be dedicated.

Like the keys of a piano, players must work together to make the music happen. If a key’s broken or a player doesn’t show up, the song can’t be played.

At the First Congregational Church, groups of adults, high schoolers, sixth- through eighth-graders and fourth- through fifth-graders meet weekly to practice. The church also has a third-grade choir using chimes, which Gambini describes as similar to bells but less expensive, with a sound more like a flute.

“We do accept people who have never rung [in the adult choir], but it’s rare,” she said. “Most are kids who have come up through our program, who have been ringing since sixth-grade and earlier.”

Anyone can learn to ring, those involved say, but it takes coordination. And players must work with one another well, often forming a bond unlike any other.

When it all comes together, Gambini said, “It’s just a sense. Sometimes there are no words.”

“It’s an art form not only for your ears, but also for your eyes,” she said.

“If you’re in front of a really good bell choir, it’s inspiring just because of the visual grace of it. In a church setting, it’s perfect.”

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!
