Good morning, McHenry County ...

Want to have a say? Vote Republican

Two years ago, I wrote a column that read: “We’re about a month away from the March 18 primary election, and if you’re a Democratic voter in McHenry County, you have no real reason to pull a Democratic ballot.”

Not much has changed in McHenry County two years later.

County Democratic Party Chairman Mike Bissett took exception to that column two years ago, and he wrote a guest view in rebuttal. I certainly invite Bissett to pen another column on the state of the Democratic Party in McHenry County.

But if you look at this primary election, the same holds true, especially if you want to have a say in who is making decisions locally.

At the county level, there are no Democratic candidates for McHenry County Board chairman, auditor, circuit clerk, coroner, recorder or

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Jason Schaumburg state’s attorney. At least not yet. Democrats could caucus in candidates for the general election.

The Republican primary features contested primaries for County Board chairman, recorder and state’s attorney. So if you want to have a say in who holds those three offices, short of any caucused Democrats, you have to pull a Republican ballot.

HELSINKI – For one goldfish in Norway, it’s almost like being a fish out of water.

The goldfish in question is being held at a police station in the northwestern town of Bodo while officers try to track down its owner, according to Norwegian news agency NTB. NTB said officers found the goldfish in a jam jar at the Nordlandshall indoor soccer stadium and decided to take it back to the police station because they couldn’t find the owner.

Ina Selfors, spokeswoman for the Nordland police district, told NTB that somebody likely had bought the goldfish and taken it to the stadium and forgot it there.

Selfors said she hopes the owner will contact them, adding that until then the fish “will stay in the jam jar and keep us company.”

HOME RULE ON HORIZON

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com The number of home rule municipalities in McHenry County could grow after the city of Woodstock and village of Huntley get the results of their special censuses certified.

In Illinois, communities can become home rule by referendum, or automatically when reaching a population of 25,000. The designation gives local government more control over anything from taxing

to licensing to regulating the protection of the public health, according to the Constitution of the State of Illinois.

There are more than 200 home rule municipalities in Illinois, according to the Illinois Municipal League.

Home rule municipalities in McHenry County include Lake in the Hills, McHenry, Crystal Lake, Prairie Grove and Algonquin, according to documents from the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office and

Woodstock, Huntley expecting to join 5 McHenry County communities that have taxing authority after special census the Illinois Municipal League.

While advocates say home rule gives more power to the people who know the community best, the thought of a local body having more options to raise taxes without a referendum worries some residents and taxpayer advocacy groups.

Woodstock City Manager Roscoe Stelford said the special census will give a more accurate reflection of the city’s population, and more revenue because the city receives $151 in shared state revenue per person

for the city.

When the city does qualify for home rule status, benefits could include the city’s ability to license landlords and create ordinances to require crime-free housing standards, increase the fees to license video game machines and improve the city’s bond rating, he said.

“Our council members are constantly in the community, constantly getting feedback on what’s good

PAULA STEINER n WHO IS SHE? College and Career Center supervisor at Prairie Ridge High School n HOMETOWN: Crystal Lake n FAMILY: Husband, Karl; daughters, Meghan and Abbie n FAVORITE BOOK: Anything by Wally Lamb n FAVORITE FOOD: Dessert

CRYSTAL LAKE – Paula Steiner likes to think of herself as a vessel of information.

For nine years, the Crystal Lake woman has worked as the Career Center supervisor at Prairie Ridge High School.

She has taken in as much information as she can about college and career readiness so she can dispense it to the students who wander in to the Career Center.

Her background in broadcast journalism, which made her fearless in digging for information, meshes nicely with 10 years of experience as a head-hunter, Steiner said.

She once called up a big record label for a student who wanted to learn more about the music industry.

That kind of extra effort likely played into why Steiner is one of eight counselors across the country who was given a 2016 Counselors That Change Lives Award, a national recognition from Colleges That Change Lives.

She recently sat down with reporter Allison Goodrich to share insights of her job, why she does it, and some of the most important advice for students.

Goodrich: What, on a day-to-day basis, do you do?

Steiner: Every day is different. Today,

I spent hours and hours uploading scholarships to the website. It’s kind of that time of year for seniors to be looking at that. I have students in here pretty much every period of every day.

Sometimes, they’re working independently, and other times they’ve got questions. This time of year, I’m answering a lot of questions about financial aid and scholarships. They’re making decisions, trying to make decisions, between schools.

Goodrich: What drives you in this job?

Steiner: First and foremost, I saw a

need. And, sadly, I guess there’s a good side and bad side. I don’t talk to every single kid. If they don’t walk through that door – there are some students who

Steiner recently received recognition as one of the 2016 Counselors That Change Lives, a national recognition from Colleges That Change Lives. come through Prairie Ridge who I will never meet or talk with, and that’s their decision to make – but it’s been really rewarding [working with] the kids that I have worked with.

There have been some that I think I really have made a difference with. And I certainly don’t think I’m that big of a deal to most of them.

But there are some kids who have situations where they don’t have a lot of support at home, whether it be somebody to take them on college visits, to help them pay for it, to get information, so [doing that] has been fun.

that stuff.

I feel like now I sit on this hotbed of information that I know these parents aren’t getting because I never got it, so I send – I’m sure I have a reputation for being a pest – I send a ton of emails; I post on Facebook and Twitter.

It’s hilarious that the old lady in the department is kind of the techie. But I use that to put information out there.

That’s one of the most important things I do. That, and me educating me.

I visit colleges, I tour as many campuses that I can, and I read a lot and just share it.

Goodrich: This, I feel, is one of those jobs where you’d really want to stay in touch with students. Do you get to do that?

Steiner: I won’t be friends with them

Goodrich: What are some of the key messages you try to get out to students?

Steiner: There’s so much available to

on Facebook while they’re students, but when they graduate, if they request to be my friend, I’ll do that.

It’s really nice because it is fun to see what they do – and I mean, these guys go on to do amazing things. It isn’t always the top kids here. Sometimes, they’re real big surprises.

Goodrich: How do you go about doing what you do, knowing that this – choosing a college – can be such a big decision?

Steiner: In my mind, the most im-

portant thing that I can do here – this might be the communications degree talking – but I kind of view this office, this desk, and me, as kind of an information hub.

I must get at least a dozen news feeds and blogs with links to great articles and tons of information about FAFSA and scholarships and how to get into the elite schools.

And as a parent, I never saw any of

kids in terms of scholarships that they don’t know about.

I [also] tell them – and I really really mean this – what matters is not the school you pick … it’s what are you going to do when you’re there?

Getting there is just a very small part of what’s really important. And I’m not saying getting straight A’s when you’re there. I’m saying attacking that four years of your life – hopefully only four years – and milking every ounce of that experience for what you can get.

So I say to my kids, just coming out with a four-year degree even if you’ve got a 4.0 GPA – eh. Big deal. You didn’t succeed at the game of college if that’s all you do.

You need to study abroad, join organizations, create an organization, you need to take courses you didn’t even know existed – you know, the history of rock ’n’ roll is the top course at Indiana University.

‘Life-changing’ surgery hprokop@shawmedia.com HARVARD – As 6-year-old Jasper Damiano pretended to be a magician in his Harvard home, the black hat he was wearing and his glasses sat on his head just right.

Before getting reconstructive surgery on his left ear, hats, goggles and glasses often would not stay in place, causing Jasper to become frustrated, said his mother, Crystal Damiano.

Jasper was born with his left ear growing out and down, Damiano said, and it was progressively growing down more.

“We never made him feel like there was something wrong with him,” Damiano said. “... But when it started frustrating him, that’s when we as parents were like, ‘OK, we need to do something.’ ” When insurance wouldn’t cover the procedure to pin back the ear, Damiano said, a plastic surgeon wouldn’t even give a price estimate because the surgery would be so expensive.

After about a year and a half of look-

ing for other options, Damiano heard from the Fresh Start Surgical Gifts program with which Jasper could get the surgery for free.

“I know it seems silly to some people, maybe it’s just an ear, but for him, it’s a life-changing thing,” Damiano said.

“The rest of his life, he’s going to not have to struggle with those things.”

On Feb. 20, Jasper had surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital. Three times a year, the hospital provides free reconstructive surgeries for children with physical deformities, said Tiffani Washington, senior media relations specialist with the University of Chicago Medicine.

The Fresh Start Caring for Kids Foundation, a collaboration of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts and the Plastic Surgery Foundation, works with the hospital to perform the surgeries, Washington said.

After the surgery, Jasper looked like a mummy, Damiano said, with bandages wrapped around his head to keep his ear in place. Monday, the bandages were taken off, she said, and Tuesday,

he was able to play with his twin sister, Sapphire, and 5-year-old brother, Jett.

All of the children are homeschooled, Damiano said, which she said might have helped Jasper with his confidence. Jasper has not been made fun of by other children before, but it is something that Crystal Damiano and her husband, Nick, worried about.

“You don’t want to see your kids go through that, so to have a program that does [reconstructive surgeries] is just awesome,” she said.

Jasper said he was not nervous about the surgery, and before he went in, he was thinking about presents. At his home, he held a “shadow buddy” that the hospital gave him before the surgery.

“They made it fun; he wasn’t intimidated at all,” Nick Damiano said.

Jasper’s mother said she was surprised at how big of a difference the surgery has made in Jasper’s appearance.

He keeps asking everyone if they want to see his ear, she said, and the family is looking forward to summer swim lessons when Jasper’s goggles will stay up right.

Jim Tobin, president and founder of Taxpayers United of America, said the taxpayer advocacy group based out of Chicago is opposed to home rule in Illinois, because home rule status gives officials the power to raise taxes and avoid voter input.

“The people who like home rule are government employees, or people who plan to be government employees or get contracts with the city and profit off the taxpayers,” Tobin said.

He said that while residents can repeal home rule status, very few people have done it because it takes an “enormous amount of work and an enormous amount of money.”

City officials from both Woodstock and Huntley have said that if home rule status is reached, any discussions on what home rule powers the municipalities may take advantage of would be brought before the City Council or

Village Board.

Huntley Village Manager Dave Johnson said in a statement the village has not yet discussed what home rule opportunities it might take advantage of, but, “Based on the continued unfortunate conditions surrounding the state of Illinois and the uncertainty created by these conditions, greater local control of the village’s future by the Village Board of Trustees is important.”

The city of McHenry conducted a special census in 2008, and it became a home rule municipality when that census was certified in Derik 2010 with a population Morefield of 27,525, City Manager Derik Morefield said.

The only tax the city implemented after reaching home rule status was a 0.5 percent sales tax increase, from 7 percent to percent, The people who 7.5 which went like home rule toward capiimproveare government tal ments and to employees, or help cover police pensions, people who Morefield said. plan to be “My opingovernment ion is that the city of McHenemployees or ry has been get contracts responsible in having their with the city own home rule and profit off authority,” he the taxpayers.” said. “We haven’t certainly exercised it to the extent that Jim Tobin, we could.”

Taxpayers United of After being America president and with the city founder for nearly four years, Morefield said discussions about adding more taxes or new ordinances with home rule powers do not come up with elected officials and staff.

Nadav Shoked, associate professor of law with Northwestern University, said becoming home rule is “not a complete revolution” for a municipality.

Shoked said it is important to note that even while under home rule, Illinois governments never have full autonomy from the state.

It’s tough to predict if taxes will go up when home rule status is reached, Shoked said, and whether people support home rule or not comes down to whether they trust their elected officials and neighbors who vote.

“These are debates between communities because people, for good reason or for no good reason, some people do not trust their elected officials,” Shoked said.

Downtown streets could see upgrades

Signs, sidewalks, green space being considered

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Officials are in the early stages of considering upgrades to the village’s downtown streetscape, which could improve street and sidewalk improvements and add new lighting, landscaping and signs.

Tim King of Hitchcock Design Group presented some concepts for changes to the Committee of the Whole last week, which likely will be considered as the village enters its yearly budgeting process.

The consulting group’s recommendations included making changes to the sidewalks to increase the amount of area pedestrians could use, adding new signs and increasing the amount of green space, trees and plantings.

The study covered Main, Jandus,

High, Spring and Cary streets, as well as the existing Metra station. Trustee Rick Dudek said he might like to adjust the area of focus when considering future growth.

“I like those entryway signs, but I think we’re being a potentially a little short-sighted as to where we delineate downtown,” Trustee Rick Dudek said.

“I could see the core business district moving further west.”

Trustee Jim Cosler agreed about the expanded focus and said he wanted to make sure the board did not pour too much money into the area.

“We have to be careful focusing too much money on the downtown area,” Cosler said. “I have concerns about putting too much funding into this without improving other parts of Cary.”

The trustees were asked to rank the various aspects of the potential changes and indicate what their priorities were. The village likely will spread out any potential improvements over several years.

2-vehicle crash on Algonquin Road sends 2 to hospitals

ALGONQUIN – One man and one woman were transported to hospitals after a two-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon at Algonquin and Frank roads.

Battalion Chief Tim Flannigan said one patient was transported to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock and the other to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin after the crash at about 3:30 p.m.

Their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, and no one else was involved in the crash.

Both cars were towed and had moderate damage, Flannigan said.

The Algonquin Police Department and the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District also responded to the scene of the crash, Flannigan said.

Depression, dementia not inevitable progression of aging SPONSORED BY

LOCAL BRIEF

RETAIL LOGO HERE

PUBLIC ACCESS

By Gina Kraman Graying hair maybe, but growing depressed or demented is not the normal progression of aging, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

While many adults age 60 and older suffer from physical ailments, mental issues are not inevitable.

The CDC reports that 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic health condition, and 50 percent have more than two. Depression is more common in people with multiple conditions, such as heart disease or cancer. “Many older adults see an improvement when treated with anti-depression drugs, psychotherapy, or a combination of both,” the CDC says.

Only about 15 percent of adults age 60+ suffer from a mental disorder, according to the World Health Organization (WHO): “Older adults make important contributions to society as family members, volunteers, and active participants in the workforce. While most have good mental health, many are at risk of developing men-

tal disorders or substance abuse problems, as well as other health conditions such as diabetes, hearing loss, and osteoarthritis.”

Strategies to promote seniors’ mental health start with ensuring that the elderly have the necessary resources to meet basic needs, which the WHO lists as “security, freedom, adequate housing, social support, health programs, and community development programs.”

Seniors who do develop dementia – an incurable syndrome with deteriorating memory and thinking behaviors -- benefit from an early diagnosis to learn ways to manage challenging symptoms.

Mental health experts agree the best ways to boost mental health for the aged include exercising, socializing, and engaging in mental stimulation. Other suggestions include volunteering, taking classes, playing word games, and getting a pet.

Between 2015 and 2050, and proportion of the world’s older adults is estimated to almost double from 12 to 22 percent – from 900 million to two billion people, WHO reports.

Furnace docs use state-of-art tools to diagnose problems SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail,” said American Philosopher Abraham Maslow in 1966. Luckily 50 years later, furnace repair experts are using multiple state-of-the-art tools to diagnose and fix heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) problems.

For homeowners with a broken furnace on a wintry day, the type of tool used is less important than when the repair technician is coming, and how much will it cost to fix. But new diagnostic tools help people in the repair HVAC industry fix problems quickly and with better accuracy.

Using microprocessor technology and digital readouts, technicians have more equipment choices to determine problems. While many seasoned technicians can determine problems by just listening to the furnace, more complex issues benefit from advanced diagnostic technology.

Technicians previously used gauges

and other equipment to detect trouble spots. The new devices can monitor the systems while making adjustments. Repair technicians interpret data from their diagnostic tools, including voltmeters and combustion analyzers.

Some furnaces built after 1990 are designed with built-in indicators to reveal problems, such as a small, lit window.

This light can reveal if the furnace has power, or may flash a repair code indicating the trouble, experts report. Sometimes the sequence of the blinking light may reveal the issue. An access panel inside the furnace may define what the codes mean, helping the technician fix the problem efficiently. Flipping the furnace switch off then on, and watching the sequence of codes help determine the problem.

While homeowners may tackle easy repairs, re-lighting an extinguished pilot light is best left to trained personnel, skilled in repairs that can be dangerous to people inexperienced in working with fire.

about 10 percent, based on tax rates from last year.

Fire officials said they put the tax on the ballot because the district has struggled to budget after a 2015 court decision forced the department to stop providing alarms to commercial property. Officials also point to increased health care costs from the Affordable Care Act and a longterm decline in property values.

Members of Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Firefighters Local 3985 have been working to spread the word about the referendum, union President Matt Berg said.

“By voting yes, we’ll restore service we cut on one of the district ambulances,” Berg said. “We get 4,000 calls a year, and doing that with two staffed ambulances at a time isn’t that effective.”

The district is hosting a final information session for residents to learn about the tax at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Fire District Headquarters, 1020 W. Algonquin Road.

ARE YOU LEFT- OR RIGHT-EYED? Just as you have a dominant hand, you also have a dominant eye; however, the two do not necessarily correspond to one another. Though most people show hand and eye dominance on one side or the other, at least 35 percent of the population is “crossed,” meaning that they might be right-handed but have a dominant left eye, or vice versa. According to research involving college-aged baseball players, this can make a difference in the way people play baseball. When the effects of ocular dominance on college baseball players were studied, it was found that the best hitters had crossed eye/hand dominance.The best pitchers had uncrossed dominance.Vision plays a crucial part in athletic performance.

P.S. In normal binocular vision, there is an “effect of parallax” in which the dominant eye is the one that is primarily relied on for precise positional information, an important role in sports that requires aiming (archery, darts, etc.)

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Chief Peter Van Dorpe is planning to ask the district’s Board of Trustees to wait to pass its budget until he has one key piece of information: whether the referendum to add a new tax fund for the district passes March 15.

While the district wouldn’t see funds from the tax until next fiscal year if the referendum passes, Van Dorpe said knowing whether the district will get the extra $900,000 of yearly tax revenue will determine his long-term plans.

“There are some things that are a long-term commitment,” Van Dorpe said. “I’ve got to budget to maintain our current [ambulance] or budget to replace it. If the referendum doesn’t pass, I’m not going to replace it, so I’m going to budget to fix it.”

If passed, the referendum would add a

Happy Just Painting

teve Ponio, 60, of McHenry spends his days as a construction worker and then paints whenever he gets the chance at his studio in The Starline Factory in Harvard. The walls and even the ceiling of his studio are covered with paintings he’s completed, each one telling a different story. Ponio also is interested in photography and ceramics, but he said painting has stuck the most, “because you don’t need too many instruments.” His dream is one day to have his whole body of work, from when he started to the most recent, showcased at an exhibit. He sat down with photographer Sarah Nader to talk about his work, his studio and his inspiration.

Nader: How did you get started painting?

Ponio: I got started back in the late 1990s by taking a

few art classes at Crystal Lake Central [High School]. My teacher had an art studio at the Dole Mansion. She invited me to one of her art shows there, and I enjoyed the place so much, I got a studio there. I had a studio at the Dole for seven years. I moved to Starline studios in Harvard and have been there for three years now.

Nader: What inspires you to paint?

Ponio: I am inspired to paint because painting frees my

mind, and when I am done, I have something to show from it.

Nader: Do you have a style?

Ponio: I think my style is surrealism. I like to portray my

subconscious mind, my dreams and my thoughts. Many of my paintings are an arrangement of feeling and thoughts.

Nader: Tell me about your studio space.

Ponio: My studio is in the middle of an old factory in

Harvard. It is a quiet place and has the feel of time gone by.

I’m able to go there any time I wish and stay as long [as I wish] also.

Nader: What is your dream project? If there were no restrictions on time or money, what would you create?

Ponio: I’m happy just painting. I have no dream projects.

I just wish I had more time to paint as, I know, time always runs out.

Nader: Which creative medium would you love to pursue but haven’t yet?

Ponio: If [there were] no restrictions, I would paint and

paint and paint. I would buy more brushes and better paints. I would buy large canvases and maybe travel and paint outside or hire models. The list could go on and on, but I’m OK with what I do.

Continued on page 13

• Monday, March 7, 2016 Artist Steve Ponio uses a wooden stool as a make-shift easel as he paints an idea he got from a recent trip to Arizona at his studio at The Starline Factory in Harvard.

Continued from page 12 Nader: What is the main challenge you face when beginning a painting?

Ponio: The main challenge is the idea. It all starts with a line, a mark, a

dash. Then it turns into a composition and turning a white, blank canvas into something worth looking at. I never seem to run out of something new to paint. Sometimes I keep a sketch book and make many of my paintings from ideas I get from time to time. I have 30 compositions I will paint over the next few months. The challenge is to complete them all.

They can be seen at the next few 4th Fridays at Starline.

Nader: Do you have a favorite artist?

Ponio: My favorite artists are Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Vincent

Van Gogh. If you look at my works and styles, you can see a little of their styles in my works, yet I do have my own style and it is always changing as I paint more.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan speaks in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., during a ceremony June 3, 2009, to unveil a statue of President Ronald Reagan. for stem cell studies. Her dignity and perseverance in these post-White House roles helped smooth over the public’s fickle perceptions of the former first lady.

The Reagans’ mutual devotion over 52 years of marriage was legendary.

They were forever holding hands.

She watched his political speeches with a look of such steady adoration it was dubbed “the gaze.” He called her “Mommy,” and penned a lifetime of gushing love notes. She saved these letters, published them as a book, and found them a comfort when he could no longer remember her. After Reagan was shot by John Hinckley just three months into his presidency, he was said to have famously wisecracked to her, “Honey, I forgot to duck.”

In announcing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 1994, Reagan wrote, “I only

wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this painful experience.”

Ten years later, as his body lay in state in the U.S. Capitol, Mrs. Reagan caressed and gently kissed the flagdraped casket.

In a statement Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama spoke of the Reagans’ journey with Alzheimer’s disease.

“Later, in her long goodbye with President Reagan, she became a voice on behalf of millions of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer’s, and took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments that hold the potential and the promise to improve and save lives,” the Obamas said.

As the newly arrived first lady, Mrs. Reagan raised more than $800,000 from private donors to redo the White

Ray Tomlinson, inventor of modern email, dies

By SARAH SKIDMORE SELL The Associated Press

Raymond Tomlinson, the inventor of modern email and a technological leader, died Saturday.

Raytheon Co., his employer, confirmed his death; the details were not immediately available.

Email existed in a limited capacity before Tomlinson in that electronic messages could be shared amid multiple people within a limited framework. But until his invention in 1971 of the first network person-to-person email, there was no way to send something to a specific person at a specific address.

Tomlinson wrote and sent the first email on the ARPANET system, a computer network that was created for the U.S. government that is considered a precursor to the Internet. Tomlinson also contributed to the network’s development, among numerous other pioneering technologies in the programing world. Ray At the time, few peo- Tomlinson ple had personal computers. The popularity of personal email wouldn’t take off until years later and ultimately would become an integral part of modern life.

“It wasn’t an assignment at all, he was just fooling around; he was looking for something to do with ARPANET,” Raytheon spokeswoman Joyce Kuzman said.

The first email was sent between two machines that were side-by-side. Tomlinson said in a company interview that the test messages were “entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them.”

But when he was satisfied that the program seemed to work, he announced it via his own invention by sending a message to co-workers explaining how to use it.

“I’m often asked ‘Did I know what I was doing?’ ” Tomlinson said in his

speech when he was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. “The answer is: Yeah I knew exactly what I was doing.

I just had no notion whatsoever about what the ultimate impact would be.”

Tomlinson is the one who chose the “@” symbol to connect the username with the destination address and it has now become a cultural icon.

“It is a symbol that probably would have gone away if not for email,” Kuzman said.

The symbol has become so important in modern culture that MoMA’s Department of Architecture and Design added the symbol into its collection in 2010, with credits to Tomlinson.

LOS ANGELES – Nancy Reagan, the helpmate, backstage adviser and fierce protector of Ronald Reagan in his journey from actor to president – and finally during his 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease – has died.

She was 94.

The former first lady died Sunday at her home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles of congestive heart failure, assistant Allison Borio told The Associated Press.

Her best-known project as first lady was the “Just Say No” campaign to help kids and teens stay off drugs.

When she swept into the White House in 1981, the former Hollywood actress partial to designer gowns and pricey china was widely dismissed as a pre-feminist throwback, concerned only with fashion, decorating and entertaining. By the time she moved out eight years later, Mrs. Reagan was fending off accusations that she was a behind-the-scenes “dragon lady” wielding unchecked power over the Reagan administration – and doing it based on astrology to boot.

All along, she maintained that her only mission was to back her “Ronnie” and strengthen his presidency.

Mrs. Reagan carried that charge through the rest of her days. She served as a full-time caretaker as Alzheimer’s melted away her husband’s memory. After his death in June 2004, she dedicated herself to tending his legacy, especially at his presidential library in California, where he had served as governor.

She also championed Alzheimer’s patients, raising millions of dollars for research and breaking with fellow conservative Republicans to advocate

House family quarters and to buy a $200,000 set of china bordered in red, her signature color. She was criticized for financing these pet projects with donations from millionaires who might seek influence with the government, and for accepting gifts and loans of dresses worth thousands of dollars from top designers. Her lavish lifestyle – in the midst of a recession and with her husband’s administration cutting spending on the needy – inspired the mocking moniker “Queen Nancy.”

But her admirers credited Mrs. Reagan with restoring grace and elegance to the White House after the austerity of the Carter years.

Her substantial influence within the White House came to light slowly in her husband’s second term.

Although a feud between the first lady and chief of staff Donald Regan had spilled into the open, the president dismissed reports that it was his wife who got Regan fired. “The idea that she is involved in governmental decisions and so forth and all of this, and being a kind of dragon lady – there is nothing to that,” a visibly angry Reagan assured reporters.

But Mrs. Reagan herself and other insiders later confirmed her role in rounding up support for Regan’s ouster and persuading the president that it had to be done, because of the Iran-Contra scandal that broke under Regan’s watch.

She delved into policy issues, too.

She urged Reagan to finally break his long silence on the AIDS crisis.

She nudged him to publicly accept responsibility for the arms-for-hostages scandal. And she worked to buttress those advisers urging him to thaw U.S. relations with the Soviet Union, over the objections of the administration’s “evil empire” hawks.

AG Madigan mulls legal case over delayed coal mine rules

By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office is considering legal action against the state’s natural resources agency for what prosecutors call a failure to follow the terms of a court-brokered plan to toughen oversight of coal mines.

The tougher regulations were part of broader reforms touted with much fanfare two years by the administration of former Gov. Pat Quinn. They followed criticisms by environmentalists who alleged the state Department of Natural Resources was too cozy with mining companies and other businesses it regulates.

The rules included a requirement that regulators provide earlier citizen notification of new mine applications and that mine permit applicants be available to answer questions at public hearings. But two years later, the new rules have not been enacted, and the resources agency now wants to package the new rules with other pending chang-

Governors State University trustees OK tuition freeze

UNIVERSITY PARK – Governors State University’s trustees have unanimously approved a tuition freeze for the suburban Chicago campus in the upcoming academic year.

The trustees approved the tuition freeze Friday and renewed their pledge to front funds for the school’s Monetary Award Program.

The university has covered $3 million in MAP funding for more than 1,900 low-income students this academic year amid Illinois’ ongoing budget standoff.

School President Elaine Maimon said the trustees’ decision “should allow our students to enroll and concentrate on their studies without worrying about whether the state will honor its promises to them.”

The threat of renewed legal action comes as the coal industry is battling economic and political challenges that threaten many jobs in central and

Three reported dead in northeast Illinois car accident

ROCKFORD – Authorities in northeast Illinois said three people are dead after an early morning vehicle crash.

Winnebago County Sheriff’s spokesman Ken DeCoster told The Rockford Register Star the crash occurred about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday. DeCoster said four people were in the vehicle when it crashed. He said the vehicle left the road, hit a guardrail and bridge abutment and caught fire.

The driver and front seat passenger were trapped in the wreckage. It’s unclear if they died from trauma injuries or the fire. A male passenger was ejected from the vehicle and later died at a hospital.

A fourth man was able to crawl out of the vehicle. DeCoster said he suffered injuries that weren’t believed to be life-threatening.

southern Illinois. The DNR is now overseen by the administration of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, a former venture capitalist who defeated Quinn, a Democrat, in 2014 after the new regulations had been announced.

The state has 15 pending requests for new mines, permit revisions or renewals that could be affected by the new requirements, government records show.

The reforms adopted by the DNR in 2014 settled a lawsuit by Madigan, a Democrat, over the agency’s 2007 approval of a surface mine near the central Illinois town of Banner amid resident complaints about potential threats to their water supply. IDNR eventually rejected the permit, but Illinois prosecutors continued to press their case against the agency, resulting in a March 2014 consent agreement in Sangamon County Circuit Court.

The head of the DNR at the time called the reforms “the most recent steps to further restore the integrity of this agency and allow for more public participation as we work towards be-

Illinois lawmakers want funding for safer school routes

SPRINGFIELD – Amid a drawnout fight over the budget, two Republicans are among the state legislators calling attention to plans seeking more funding to improve street safety for students walking to school.

It’s an issue that needs attention despite the state’s messy finances, supporters of the idea said, given that nearly five Illinois children are hit by cars every day within a block of a school, according to the Safe Routes to School program.

To highlight the need, Springfield Republican Reps. Tim Butler and Sara Wojcicki Jimenez walked from the state Capitol to a nearby school in downtown Springfield with about a dozen supporters, including parents, on Wednesday.

The Illinois legislation – sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Elaine Nekritz of Northbrook – seeks $5 million overall for the program, with a combination of

coming a national model for transparency.”

Since then, the Illinois Coal Association has petitioned the DNR to revise the so-called Banner rules to better address industry concerns – including a change that would only allow state hearing officers, not citizens, to question mine applicants at public hearings.

Coal association president Phil Gonet said the Banner rule did not take the industry’s concerns into account, arguing the settlement was politically motivated during Quinn’s re-election bid. The incumbent governor earned the endorsement of environmentalists during his campaign after the reforms were announced.

“The agreed order was developed without any input from the staff at IDNR that actually work on coal mine permits,” Gonet said. “We believe these regulations go far beyond what’s required (under federal law).”

IDNR spokesman Chris Young said that efficiency is behind the pace of the agency’s rule-making efforts, not any industry-led effort to obstruct them.

state and federal aid. But since the state has been operating without a budget since July 1, it’s unclear where they would get the money.

The state’s Safe Routes to School program has a goal is to promote improvements to streets and sidewalks to create a safer environment for kids.

During the tour participants commented on how difficult some sidewalks were to walk on.

Across the state, advocates say street hazards include incomplete sidewalks and broken crosswalk signals.

Missing radioactive container found in Wayne County

SPRINGFIELD – A radioactive container that went missing last fall has been found by a Wayne County farmer and returned to its owner, a company facing nearly $80,000 in fines and search cost reimbursements.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency said Wayne County Well Surveys Inc. Fairfield reported the device’s recovery Friday.

The radioactive “well logging source holder” contains americium, a highly radioactive metal. It went missing in October 2015.

The discovery came one day after the state agency issued a preliminary order seeking to impose a $25,500 penalty on the southeastern Illinois company.

IEMA also wants the company to pay the nearly $53,000 cost of searching for the device. The search spanned 18 counties in Illinois and Indiana.

The container was last known to be in a company vehicle.

Some in GOP seeing Cruz as the best option to Trump

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republican leaders Sunday grappled with the prospect that the best hope for stopping Donald Trump’s march to the nomination may be Ted Cruz – the only candidate who causes as much heartburn among party elites as the billionaire businessman, if not sometimes more.

The Texas senator split contests with Trump in Saturday’s voting, bolstering his argument that only he can defeat the real estate mogul.

Trump and Cruz are now significantly outpacing Marco Rubio in the delegate count, further shrinking the Florida senator’s already narrow path to the nomination.

If Rubio’s slide continues, he would be the latest establishment candidate to fall victim to an angry, frustrated electorate that cares little about endorsements from party leaders or newspaper editorial boards. Rubio has rolled out both at warp speed in recent weeks, but his appeal with Republican voters is not keeping pace.

Rubio did pick up a victory Sunday in Puerto Rico’s primary, his second win of the 2016 cycle. Democrats, meanwhile, held caucuses Sunday in Maine. Sanders won that contest, beating rival Hillary Clinton for his eighth win of the 19 contests already held in the nomination process.

The wary interest in Cruz from more mainstream Republicans is the latest unexpected twist in a nominating contest where talk of a contested convention or third-party candidate is becoming commonplace.

“If Ted’s the alternative to Trump, he’s at least a Republican and conservative,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump drives himself to the golf course Sunday to watch the final round of the Cadillac Championship golf tournament in Doral, Fla. Graham said. While Graham made sure to note that it’s “not like I prefer Ted Cruz,” he encouraged Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to “decide among themselves” whether they can be a realistic alternative to Trump.

Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said Cruz is indeed “emerging” as the chief anti-Trump candidate.

“I think a lot of people were surprised by how well Ted Cruz did,” said Romney, who has thrust himself back into the political discussion with a searing takedown of Trump in a speech last week.

Romney has stepped back into the spotlight at a moment of crisis and chaos for the Republican Party. Leaders in Washington who assumed hard-liners such as Cruz represented a minority view have been left wondering if they’re the ones out of step with their party’s base.

For months, Republican elites have lumped Trump and Cruz together, arguing that neither could win in November’s general election.

Cruz is an uncompromising conservative who has publicly criticized party leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for what he sees as a pattern of giving in too easily to Presi-

dent Barack Obama.

Cruz particularly angered Senate leaders when he helped orchestrate the 2013 government shutdown, which failed in achieving the senator’s stated goal of defunding Obama’s health care reform law.

But Cruz has built a loyal following among conservatives and evangelical Christians. After winning the leadoff Iowa caucuses, he’s also beaten Trump in five more states, more than any other candidate.

Trump still leads the field with at least 378 delegates, while Cruz has at least 295.

Rubio and Kasich lag far behind in the race to reach the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination.

Rubio and Kasich desperately need to win in their home states of Florida and Ohio on March 15 to have any credible case for staying in the race.

Trump’s lead has sparked a flurry of discussions among Republicans about complicated long-shot options to stop him. Rival campaigns are exploring ways to prevent Trump from getting the delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, then defeat him at the convention in July.

Craft beer boom spurs barley malt demand

By MARY ESCH

The Associated Press GERMANTOWN, N.Y. – Dennis Nesel converts barley to malt the way it was done hundreds of years ago, spreading the water-soaked grain on his malt house floor and turning it with a shovel as it germinates to release the sugar needed for fermentation.

“This is old-school heritage malting,” says Nesel, whose “micro malt house” uses barley from a nearby farm and returns some of it as malt to the farm’s craft brewing operation, which turns out small batches of beer sold at farmer’s markets and local pubs.

Nesel’s Hudson Valley Malt, 100 miles north of New York City, is one of dozens of small malting businesses that have sprung up around the country over the past few years to serve a growing thirst for locally crafted beer and whiskey that reflect a region’s climate and soils.

“Wine people call it terroir,” Nesel said. “We call it flavor of the field.”

According to the U.S. Brewers Association, the number of small-scale craft malting companies in the U.S. has grown from fewer than five in 2010 to 36 today, with about 50 more in the works.

That goes along with a rise in craft breweries over the same period, from 1,754

Farmer Ken Migliorelli shows off dried barley before it is malted Wednesday at his family’s farm in Red Hook, N.Y. Migliorelli, who owns the fruit and vegetable farm where From The Ground brewery is located, said his well-draining sandy soil is ideal for growing malting barley. to 3,418.

New York feeds that trend with a 2012 state law that requires farm breweries to use set proportions of state-grown ingredients. About a dozen small malt houses have opened in the state in the past three years to serve some 200 breweries, according to the New York State

Universities add climate fiction to lit curriculum

By WILSON RING

The Associated Press MONTPELIER, Vt. – Colleges and universities worldwide are incorporating into their curriculums the evolving genre of literature that focuses on the changes coming to Earth as the result of climate change – “cli-fi.” Some of the books and movies now being considered part of the genre are old classics, while others were written more recently in direct response to today’s changing climate.

“It’s a very, very energized time for this where people in literature have just as much to say as people who are in hard science fields, or technology and design fields, or various social-science approaches to these things,” said Jennifer Wicke, an English professor at the University of Virginia who will be teaching a course this June on climate fiction at the Bread Loaf campus of Middlebury College in Ripton, Vermont.

The Bread Loaf School of English is mainly for elementary- and high school-level English teachers who can, in turn, take what they learn back to

their classrooms to get their students to understand how literature can reflect current events.

“This course gives them a model for creating and imagining English courses that will help the young people whom they teach understand that reading literature, looking at the arts, looking at film isn’t something you do as an aside,” said Bread Loaf school Director Emily Bartels, also a professor of English at Rutgers University. “It’s something you do as you learn how to navigate your own moment in the 21st century.”

Climate fiction, a term that emerged less than a decade ago, now is being discussed by academics across the nation and world. Next month, about three dozen academics are expected to attend a workshop in Germany called “Between Fact and Fiction: Climate Change Fiction,” hosted by the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Institute for Advanced Study. The website for the workshop lists some contemporary examples of books that fit the definition, including Barbara Kingsolver’s “Flight Behavior” about an Appalachian town to which confused monarch butterflies have migrated.

Brewers Association.

But even without state incentive programs, regional malt houses using locally grown barley have sprung up in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Colorado and Oregon.

“It was hard at first to find farmers willing to grow malting barley,” said

Andrea Stanley, whose Valley Malt in Hadley, Massachusetts, was the first craft malt house in the Northeast in 2010. “That has really turned around, with brewers wanting to buy local grain and creating a nice demand.”

Proximity Malt, a craft beer-focused startup founded a year ago by former employees of Malteurop, a global malt supplier, is planning malt houses in southern Colorado and Delaware that will produce 50,000 tons of malt a year from locally grown grain.

A development that could spur New York farmers to grow barley on a grander scale is the plan by oil giant Sunoco to open a large-scale malt house later this year in a former Miller Brewing Co. plant in central New York where it already has a corn ethanol plant. The $9.1 million facility will handle 100,000 bushels of malting barley annually to serve mostly craft brewers.

While farmers in the Northeast have long grown barley as a cover crop and for animal feed, the moist climate makes it hard to produce grain of the high quality needed for malting. Wet weather can make the grain germinate before it’s even harvested, and fusarium fungus can make it toxic. Barley must be tested for the fusarium toxin before it’s used for beer-making.

Doctors gave OK to stop radiation for cancer

By KATHLEEN FOODY The Associated Press

ATLANTA – Jimmy Carter announced Sunday that he no longer needs treatment for cancer, less than seven months after revealing he had been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain.

Carter, 91, shared the news at one of his regular Sunday school classes at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Carter always starts his lessons with a brief update on his recent activities.

This week, Carter told the class, he received an MRI lasting more than two

hours.

“And then the doctors determined that I didn’t need any more treatment,” Carter said in a video posted by WXIA-TV. “So I’m not going to have any more treatment.”

He smiled as the audience applauded.

Carter’s spokeswoman, Deanna Congileo, said in an email Sunday that his doctors will continue to perform scans to Jimmy Carter ensure cancer cells have not returned, and Carter will “resume treatment if necessary.” A spokesman for Emory University’s Winship Cancer

Institute, where Carter has been treated, declined to comment on Sunday, citing patient privacy.

Carter’s treatment plan for the aggressive form of cancer included a round of targeted radiation at several tumors on his brain and doses of an immune-boosting drug every three weeks from August through February.

The drug, Keytruda, was approved not long before Carter’s announcement and helps his body seek out and destroy cancer cells.

Medical experts have called Keytruda and similar immune therapy drugs “game-changing” for patients with melanoma. But the drugs are relatively new, and doctors still are learning about how they should be used and for how long, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy

chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society. He is not involved in Carter’s treatment.

“Some people believe they should be continued as long as a patient is doing well, some feel the drugs should continue for a period of time and then be stopped,” Lichtenfeld said. “This is clearly a (decision) based on individual evidence specific to the president and made with his doctors.”

Dr. Douglas Johnson, a melanoma specialist at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center who is not treating Carter, said the FDA did not provide a specific enddate for patients who see improvement while taking the drugs. Patients who see results may want to stop but battle with fear that the cancer could return, he said.

By RAF CASERT and LORNE COOK The Associated Press

BRUSSELS – European Union leaders will be looking to boost aid to Greece as the Balkan migrant route is effectively sealed, using Monday’s summit as an attempt to restore unity among the 28 member nations after months of increasing bickering and goit-alone policies, according to a draft statement Sunday.

The leaders also will try to persuade Turkey’s prime minister to slow the flow of migrants traveling to Europe and take back thousands who don’t qualify for asylum.

In a draft summit statement produced Sunday and seen by The Associated Press, the EU leaders will conclude that “irregular flows of migrants along the Western Balkans route are coming to an end; this route is now closed.” Because of this, the statement added that “the EU will stand by Greece in this difficult moment and will do its utmost to help manage the situation.”

“This is a collective EU responsibility requiring fast and efficient mobilization,” it said in a clear commitment to end the bickering. It said that aid to Greece should center on urgent humanitarian aid as well as managing its borders and making sure that migrants not in need of international protections are quickly returned to Turkey.

The statement will be assessed by the 28 leaders after they have met with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

Late Sunday evening, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Dutch Premier Mark Rutte met with Davutoglu to prepare for the summit.

A train passes as a woman walks Sunday with her children on railway track in the northern Greek border station of Idomeni. A regional governor called on the Greek government Saturday to declare a state of emergency for the area surrounding the Idomeni border crossing where thousands of migrants are stranded because of border restrictions along the route toward western Europe.

At least 25 migrants drowned off the Turkish coast while trying to reach Greece on Sunday, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported. The coast guard launched a search-and-rescue mission for other migrants believed to be missing in the disaster.

Ankara is central to easing Europe’s refugee pressures. More than 2,000 people arrive daily from Turkey to Greece, where many have been stranded as countries on the main migrant route through the Balkans are aiming to stop them moving north.

The bloc has offered several sweet-

eners to get Turkish authorities to crack down on migrant movements.

Some 3 billion euros ($3.3 billion) will be made available for Syrian refugees.

Turkey’s long-coveted EU membership process is being sped up, as are moves to ease EU visa requirements. Summit meetings like these are also part of the package.

Ahead of the summit, the European Commission trumpeted the availability of tens of millions of euros to help Syrian school children and provide food aid. It said that a new “road map” on visa liberalization for Turkey had also

been submitted.

However, Turkey has a huge migrant challenge of its own, as host to more than 2 million people who fled the conflict in Syria, and the returns on the European investments have been limited so far. Many complain that still far too many people cross the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece, adding to the 850,000 people who entered Greece that way last year.

The United Nations’ refugee agency called on Friday for 400,000 Syrians in Turkey to be resettled around the world to ease the country’s burden. So far it remains to be seen if any countries are willing to offer their assistance. Only 7,500 people were resettled in 2015.

After regular calls for Ankara to do more, the Commission announced on Tuesday that Greece was finally in the process of returning 308 migrants not in need of international protection to Turkey.

NATO is helping, too. The alliance announced Sunday that it was expanding its mission to help choke off the smuggling of migrants into Europe by deploying warships in Greek and Turkish waters, reinforcing its flotilla and deepening cooperation with the EU’s Frontex border agency.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that the alliance “will do reconnaissance, we will do surveillance, we will collect information, and share this information in real time with the Turkish coast guard, the Greek coast guard and with Frontex, helping them with managing the migrant and refugee crisis, and also to cut the lines of the illegal trafficking and smugglers.”

ANOTHER VIEW

United States losing ground in ‘freedom’ A “solid C,” they call it in school. Not flunking, certainly, but also not excelling.

That grade characterizes the score of 75.4 the U.S. earned on the Heritage Foundation’s 2016 “Index of Economic Freedom,” which grades countries on such factors as property rights, government spending, business freedom, monetary freedom and fiscal freedom (taxation).

The rankings closely correlate with economic growth. The higher the score – the more economic freedom – the faster people produce more wealth for everyone, from rich to poor.

Any score above 80 is considered “free.” At the head of the class, as usual, was Hong Kong (88.6).

Scores from 70 to 79.9 are “mostly free.” So America’s 75.4 score ranked it 11th, just behind the United Kingdom (76.4) and Estonia (77.2). We’re also below sixth-place Canada (78).

A score from 0 to 49.9 is considered “repressed.” At the bottom were the two remaining communist countries. In 177th place was Castroite Cuba (29.8), and rock bottom, 178th place, was erratic dictator Kim Jong Un’s North Korea (2.3).

Our country has scored much higher; in 2007, the U.S. stood in fourth place, with a score of 82.

Barack Obama became president in 2009, and his policies largely are to blame for this decline, according to Heritage. but we would add President George W. Bush was in the White House when the Great Recession hit in 2007-08. And Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives for more than five years since the 2010 tea party rebellion against too much government. That’s significant because all tax bills originate in the House.

“Americans continue to lose economic freedom,” the Heritage Index explained. “Following declines in seven of the past eight years, the United States this year has equaled its worst score ever in the Index of Economic Freedom. Ratings for labor freedom, business freedom and fiscal freedom have flagged notably, and the regulatory burden is increasingly costly.” Also to blame are “damaging monetary policies.”

The Republican presidential candidates generally favor more economic freedom, and the Democratic candidates want more controls. But the dismal economic performance of both parties while in power propels this political season of discontent.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Seeking out the truth

To the Editor: Gov. Bruce Rauner made nearly $1 million a week in 2014.

He claims to be one of the richest people in the world. It’s no surprise he uses his money to get his way.

Rauner was a contributor to the Illinois Policy Institute, a right-wing political organization. Since taking office Rauner has hired IPI employees for government jobs. Recently, IPI purchased the Illinois Radio Network. This once-proud independent radio network is little more than the Rauner Radio Network.

Instead of an independent media keeping politicians honest, this network sprouts pro-Rauner propaganda.

Recently, in McHenry County, a new “newspaper” popped up called the McHenry Times. Similar ones also have been created throughout

Illinois. Dan Proft, a right-wing zealot, created these newspapers to support the radical right wing agendas of tea party candidates.

Our democracy is truly at risk when mega-rich politicians literally buy the media outlets that masquerade as legitimate news sources in an effort to dupe the citizens.

We must be vigilant in seeking out the truth, as it is clear we will have few honest news sources to rely on.

VIEWS Gene Lyons ocrats generally have a favorable opinion of President Obama, along with a reported 97 percent of black voters in South Carolina.

Sanders’ remarks weren’t merely insulting, but tone-deaf and objectively dumb. As South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn put it, “I don’t know how you can look at Mrs. Clinton’s history – she was not running for president in the 1970s when she came to South Carolina to work with those African-American juvenile detainees or juvenile inmates trying to better their conditions, when she went to work with Marian Wright Edelman, a native of Bennettsville, South Carolina, to come down here working with her trying to better the lives of children ... So, what was she doing? Who was she pandering to back then?”

Not Barack Obama, Clyburn noted, who was in junior high school.

But then the Sanders campaign’s idea of a South Carolina surrogate was Princeton professor and controversialist Cornel West, author of this immortal trope from 2011: “I think my dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men. It’s understandable,” West said. “As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he’s always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. ... When he meets an independent black brother, it is frightening.”

Nothing scarier than a Princeton revolutionary.

West recently suggested civil rights icons Clyburn and Rep. John Lewis had sold out to Wall Street.

“Tell you what, my brother,” President Obama might have responded if he were a character in a Portis novel, “don’t pee on my shoes and tell me it’s raining.”

As the results of this foolishness became manifest, some Sanders supporters began suggesting it was wrong for red state voters to have so much to say about the Democratic nomination.

Only Yankees need apply.

“Given the reality of a Republican presidential primary where the candidates are racing to outdo each other in their contempt for people of color ...” Nancy LeTourneau wrote in Washington Monthly, “is it any surprise that African-Americans would assume that this country is facing the threat of a confederate insurgency?”

No surprise at all.

Sometimes, you take your laughs where you find them.

For me, the funniest moment in an otherwise dreary and intermittently scary election year came when candidate Donald Trump visited the old state fairgrounds in Little Rock. A character seemingly straight out of a Charles Portis novel provided the most incisive commentary.

The author of “True Grit” is the state’s best novelist, a master of deadpan comedy in a tone-perfect Arkansas twang.

According to the newspaper, a Trump supporter carrying a “Make America Great Again” sign encountered a young man on his way into the arena to bask in the Great Braggart’s eerie orange glow.

“America’s already great, you dumb-butt!” the kid said.

He could have been Portis’ Norwood Pratt, the would-be country singer traveling the country with Joann the Wonder Hen, the College Educated Chicken. An ex-Marine, Norwood wasn’t one to mince words.

So there was Hillary Clinton on the night of her thunderous win over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the South Carolina primary.

“We don’t need to make America great again,” she said. “America never stopped being great. But we do need to make America whole again. Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers. We need to show by everything we are in this together.”

Ain’t that the truth? Maybe not in Trump World, where voters who never tire of proclaiming their holiness are voting for an aging playboy who brags about the married women he’s seduced. (In his book “The Art of the Deal.”) But he’s going to put them back in their place, isn’t he?

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

Anyway, I suspect Hillary has found a winning theme.

Meanwhile, pundits seem oddly reluctant to say so, but Bernie’s candidacy imploded because of a classic political blunder when he accused his opponent of pandering to African-American voters by supporting President Barack Obama.

“Hillary Clinton now is trying to embrace the president as closely as she possibly can.

Everything the president does is wonderful.

She loves the president, he loves her and all that stuff,” Sanders said sarcastically. “And we know what that’s about. That’s trying to win support from the African-American community, where the president is enormously popular.”

Never mind she was Obama’s secretary of state. Bernie delivered these remarks in an interview with BET’s Marc Lamont Hill on Feb. 18. His poll numbers have plummeted like a stone ever since.

I wouldn’t presume to speak for black voters, but they tend to be very acute about being patronized. Indeed, 81 percent of Dem-

Help children fall asleep easily Note to readers: This column is an update of one that first ran in January 2013.

Dear Dr. K: My 6-year-old son just can’t seem to fall asleep at night. He doesn’t fuss – he just doesn’t get enough sleep. Is there anything I can do?

Dear Reader: Kids can have many different kinds of sleep problems. Like your son, they can have trouble falling asleep.

Other kids may fall asleep promptly, but awaken repeatedly. Others may snore or have breathing problems during sleep. Still others may have abnormal movements during sleep.

Fortunately, your son’s problem is one of the easier of these sleep problems to fix. The pediatricians at Harvard Medical School who specialize in sleep problems tell me that correcting a handful of things can cure the problem in most kids: • Stop your son’s caffeine intake at least eight hours before bedtime. Not a lot of 8-year-olds drink coffee or tea, but there’s plenty of caffeine in cola beverages or in chocolate, for example.

• Reduce your son’s exposure to bright light starting two hours before bedtime.

Dimmer light helps the brain prepare for sleep.

• Keep your son’s bedroom dark, quiet and at a comfortable temperature.

• If your son still uses a night-light, choose one with a low-intensity bulb.

• Reduce the intensity of your son’s reading lamp to 40 watts or less.

• Some parents play classical music in the background, hoping it will lull a child to sleep. Bad idea. Music – particularly great music – is not “white noise.”

The ingenious melodies and rhythms are compelling; your son will be (pleasantly) distracted by them. Even generally soft music can have sudden loud moments.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff And if you play it, but let it stop when the piece ends, your son may notice the sudden absence of music and have trouble falling back to sleep without it.

• Remove video games, media players, cellphones, computers and TVs from your son’s bedroom. Pretty obvious advice, I know, but you’d be surprised how often it’s not followed.

• Position your son’s alarm clock so it faces away from the bed. This can be helpful if your son stresses out each time he sees that five more minutes have passed and he’s still awake.

• Keep pets out of your son’s bedroom (and out of his bed).

• Insist your son do his homework at a desk (or better yet, outside the bedroom), not in bed. When homework is done in bed, the associated stress doesn’t go away just because the books are closed.

Really, it’s the same advice I give adults with problems sleeping: Use the bed for sleeping, not for reading, watching TV or playing games. (If you regularly do these things in bed and think they help you fall asleep – and you don’t have trouble sleeping – please ignore my advice.)

A great e-book, short and inexpensive, about how to help a child fall asleep and stay asleep is “Successful Sleep Strategies for Kids” by Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Dennis Rosen. You can learn more about this book at my website, askdoctork.com.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

DEAR ABBY My husband of 12 years and I Jeanne have few comPhillips mon interests.

I am earthy, nature-loving, people-loving and crave a rural lifestyle. He’s an introvert, loves everything Western, enjoys his downtime and watches a lot of TV. He dislikes animals and is a sports fanatic. I don’t criticize his interests. I allow him his hobbies. My problem is, our dreams of the future can’t be combined. My off-the-grid homestead and his 70-inch TV don’t exactly fit.

It’s depressing we don’t appreciate each other’s interests, and doing all of our hobbies separately is lonely. How can I experience my dreams when they are not my husband’s dreams? – Hippie Jane In Provo, Utah Dear Hippie Jane: Try doing that by remembering what you had in common with your husband 13 years ago. Is the core of your relationship still a good one? Couples don’t have to be joined at the hip 24/7. Can’t each of you enjoy your hobbies and interests separately?

Many couples do. However, if the answer is you have grown increasingly apart in the past 12 years, the only way you can each experience your dreams may be to do it alone or with other like-minded people.

Dear Abby: I am deathly afraid of snakes.

My daughter, who lives in Canada, recently informed me they had acquired one through a teacher at my grandsons’ school. Of course, the three boys are thrilled. My problem is, we are going to visit my daughter and her family in a few weeks. I am terrified to the point of losing sleep and crying just thinking about it. What should I do? I want to see my family, but there is no house big enough for me and a snake. Please help. – Terrified In Cypress, Texas Dear Terrified: If you were planning to stay at your daughter’s, scale back your plans and reserve a room at a nearby hotel or motel. This will give you eight or 10 hours a day nowhere near the reptile. If your daughter is unaware of your phobia, put her on notice the snake is to be confined to its cage in a room with a firmly closed door while you are in the house – and further, you do not wish to make its acquaintance.

Dear Abby: We took my wealthy daughter, husband and their four children to dinner at a very nice restaurant. We insisted on paying so they could each have an expensive dish they only picked at. When it was over and it was obvious they weren’t taking home any leftovers, I started to motion to our waitress to ask for take-home boxes so my wife and I could take all of their uneaten food. My wife shot me the “don’t you dare!” look, so all of it wound up in a dumpster. Needless to say, it became an issue.

Was I wrong to want to take home their uneaten meals? – Peeved In Pennsylvania Dear Peeved: Not as far as I’m concerned. Because your daughter and her family didn’t like what they ordered – and you were footing the bill – there was no breach of etiquette in asking for a box for the leftovers.

REWARD

LOST BLACK MALE CAT!!!

This is our second week studying the bidding of two-suited hands.

Look only at the South hand. With your side vulnerable, you open one heart, West passes, North raises to two hearts, and East intervenes with three diamonds. What would you do now?

As I mentioned last week, when the opponents are out of the bidding, and you hit a fit with your partner, keep your second suit hidden.

But when they enter the auction, the dynamic changes. With this South hand, if you jump to four hearts and everyone passes, fine; but what if West goes to five diamonds? What would you do then?

The answer is that you would have no idea. It could be right to double their sacrifice or to bid on to five hearts. However, your partner will know what to do if you describe your hand to him.

When you have a two-suiter, you find a fit in your first suit, and the opponents enter the auction, bend over backward to show your second suit. Here, bid three spades. Then let partner judge what to do over five diamonds.

In this deal from a tournament in Orlando, Florida, North had an easy five-heart bid. He had two magic cards with four-card heart support, and he knew South was very short in diamonds. But if North had had (nearly) all of his stuff in the minors, he would have doubled five diamonds.

Note that five diamonds doubled would have been down only 500, and five hearts made easily.

One last point: If you jump to four hearts over three diamonds, you assume captaincy; you are telling partner that you know what to do if they bid five diamonds.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

Good work An important piece of news came out Sunday – and it was only partly Peyton Manning’s impending retirement announcement Monday.

Chris Mortensen is once again breaking big NFL news and his friends and competitors couldn’t be happier.

Mortensen, a senior NFL Insider for ESPN, has been getting treatment for Stage 4 throat cancer since mid-January.

AHAI BLACKHAWKS CUP: (5) KINGS 8, (11) DuPAGE 2

Kings overpower DuPage

Seven players find net as Kings jump out to quick lead

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com BENSENVILLE – To say the Kings Hockey Club started the postseason fast would be an understatement.

It took less than a minute for Matteo Garwacki to score the first goal, less than five minutes to force the DuPage starting goalie from the game and less than seven minutes for the Kings to score what turned out to be the goahead goal.

From start to finish, the sixth-seeded Kings outmatched No. 11-seeded DuPage in an 8-2 playoff victory in the Combined Varsity Division of the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois Blackhawks Cup. The Kings (26-21-5) advance to play Buffalo Grove at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Elite Eight at Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville.

“We talked before the game about coming out fast,” said forward Jaret Pernice, who led the Kings with two goals. “We did just that. We really couldn’t have played better in the first five minutes. That really set the tone.”

The Kings, who are made up of players from Huntley, Hampshire, Jacobs, Dundee-Crown and Burlington Central high schools, put relentless pressure on the DuPage goaltenders, peppering them with 42 shots. This led to scoring opportunities across all four of the Kings’ lines.

Seven players found the back of the net for the Kings. In addition to Pernice’s two goals and Garwacki’s early tone-setter, the Kings got goals from defenseman Jackson Wilken, forward Scott Pfaff, forward Nick Madej, forward Ryan Ringa and forward James Giuliano.

“It’s good to see so many guys contributing and not just focus on one player,” said Pfaff, the team captain.

“It’s good to have more diverse scoring. That will come in handy later in the season in bigger games.”

Meanwhile, the Kings limited DuPage to only eight shots on goal. Goalie Anthony Oleksy turned away six of those attempts.

“We did a really good job of getting pucks out of our zone, too,” Kings coach Joseph Fell said. “That’s another thing I preach – get pucks in, get pucks out. We did a really good job of that.

The Kings put continuous pressure on the DuPage goalies with 42 shots on goal.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Forward Jarett Pernice shot a puck from behind the net that hit the DuPage goalie in the back and went in. “To be 100 percent honest, I was just trying to get it to the front of the net as quickly as possible,” Pernice said. “It worked out.”

And then we were winning a lot of the races because we’re so fast.”

After the game, the Kings turned their attention to Friday’s game almost

as quickly as they started Sunday. The Kings lost both previous meetings with Buffalo Grove. Each time the margin was only one goal.

“This time of year that doesn’t matter,” Fell said. “It doesn’t matter your record or your ranking or anything else. What we do on the ice Friday night is all that matters. We were right there the first two times. We’ve got to change a couple plays.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A ROCK VALLEY COLLEGE SECTIONAL

PR teeming with family members teaming up on the hardwood

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

• Monday, March 7, 2016

For a long time, Corky Card made a concerted effort to offer his son Logan some distance at home each night.

The Prairie Ridge boys basketball coach did not want to seem too overbearing with his son, who is the Wolves’ senior point guard. Corky thinks Logan probably watches the most game video of anyone on the team, something he can monitor from computer applications, but they each usually watched by themselves.

As the season progressed, that’s changed. The Wolves rolled up the wins, running through their entire 2016 portion of the schedule without a loss, and the Cards gravitated toward watching and evaluating more together.

“I try to keep him separate (at home) so he didn’t have me on him all the time,” Corky said. “He really started asking me questions all the time about teams we were playing and what they did. Since Christmas, we watched quite a bit of video together.”

They were at it again Sunday, checking out St. Charles East (17-12), the 25-3 Wolves’ opponent in Wednesday’s 7 p.m. Class 4A Rock Valley College Sectional semifinal game.

Jacobs (23-6) meets Auburn (22-6) in Tuesday’s 7 p.m. semifinal.

Athletic teams embrace the family concept to foster tighter-knit groups, although few have taken that to the extreme of Prairie Ridge. Along with the Cards, there is assistant coach Dave Otto and senior guard Payton, as well as assistant coach Bryan Bradshaw and brother Christopher, a senior forward.

There also are twins Dylan and Kyle Stenzel, and brothers Tyler and Kyle Loeding. The blood runs thick at Prairie Ridge.

“Growing up, I would watch all the time and want to be one of the players,” Logan Card said. “The first couple years it was pretty hard, last year was better, but it was still hard.

It’s been a lot of fun. It’s good to see [my dad] happy and in a good mood.

We’ve had a lot of fun winning.”

• Winner advances to the Sears Centre Arena Supersectional There were trying moments last season and earlier this year. Coaches who are parents tend to demand more of their own, while the players who are sons might question authority more than others.

Corky Card and Dave Otto developed a plan last year where they would approach each other’s sons to make things easier.

“When something had to be said to Payton, I usually said it,” Corky said.

“And when something needed to be said to Logan, Dave said it. Bryan and his brother Christopher had that same dynamic. Each of those three play-

ers would tend to set off their family member quicker than the other kids would. The second half of this year has been good. Logan handled things well, and having Dave and Bryan has really helped.”

The Wolves have won 14 consecutive games, repeated as Fox Valley Conference Fox Division champions and won the Crystal Lake South Regional title Friday, their first since 2007.

Logan Card, Payton Otto and Christopher Bradshaw are part of a senior group that has played together since fourth grade with Dave Otto’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes team.

The Ottos have been coach and son together all that time.

“It hasn’t been that weird or different, he’s always been my coach,” Payton Otto said. “I’ve gotten used to it. I really enjoy it, it means he’s always at my games and I have all that time to hang out with him. It’s a really cool opportunity to have.”

Dave Otto coached at Cary-Grove from 1990 through 2001. His last three teams were a combined 70-16. Otto said the plan of talking to each other’s

sons happened more last year, but was effective.

“We did that and you don’t have to deal with it as much at home,” Otto said. “We could say, ‘What did coach say?’ And they’d say, ‘He told me to do this.’ And we’d say, ‘Yeah, I agree.’

Then it’s over. We played that card a little bit and it helped.”

Otto also believes it helps that nine of the 11 seniors have played together since he started the FCA team.

“I’ve watched these guys grow up with Logan,” Corky Card said. “You’d never expect them to have this much success.”

Prairie Ridge lost to Geneva at Thanksgiving, then to Boylan and Crystal Lake South at Jacobs’ Hinkle Holiday Classic in December. It is difficult to imagine the Wolves having a better season to this point.

“We won our division last year and that was fun, we knew how that felt,” Logan Card said. “So coming into this year, we wanted to make sure we got that feeling back. We definitely have it and winning the regional was our main goal this year.”

4 BULLS

Bulls have their best player back Team’s record with Butler out (3-8) proves it

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Although Derrick Rose has been vastly improved since the start of January, what he’s been doing over that span isn’t unique.

The Bulls will take it, there’s no questioning that. To have a point guard playing at a high level? Any NBA team will take that. But a lot of NBA teams have that.

What Jimmy Butler does for this team goes into an entirely different category, and his skillset on both ends of the floor puts him into a small class of elite NBA players.

“Sure, a big, physical wing that can defend anybody in this league,” coach Fred Hoiberg said, when asked about the difference of missing a player of Butler’s caliber. “Obviously, we missed that as much as anything. Jimmy’s absence, when he was out for that month, it was hard to find a way to defend those big, strong wings.

“You saw it [Saturday] night: When Jimmy got in foul trouble, we struggled, and we threw a couple different coverages out there to try to make up for that as far as double-teams. That puts you in scramble situations. You don’t have to do that as much when Jimmy is on the floor.”

Don’t believe the rookie coach?

As Pau Gasol said last week, this team is what the record says it is. With Rose sitting out this season, the record says this team is 6-4. In the 11 games without Butler, the Bulls were a 3-8 team.

ter almost a month. Butler held James Harden to six points when he guarded the perennial MVP candidate, while Harden scored 30 points when anyone else wearing a Bulls uniform attempted that feat.

Besides Golden State’s Stephen Curry single-handedly re-inventing the point guard position, the NBA is wing-dominant with the likes of twoway players such as LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and, of course, Butler sitting atop of that class.

So, of course, Hoiberg took advantage of Butler’s return, not only in practice Friday and the Saturday game, but again in the Sunday practice.

Offensively, Hoiberg said they needed to get back to some isolation sets in which Butler can play to his strength.

That doesn’t mean Hoiberg wants Butler holding the ball until the shot clock has all but dwindled, especially with ball movement and quick decision making such an essential part of his offense. There’s a happy medium somewhere in there, and Hoiberg wants Butler to find it.

“Added a couple new wrinkles and really tried getting some of the things that we were successful with Jimmy at earlier in the year,” Hoiberg said of the Sunday practice. “Different isolation-type actions using Jimmy in the ball screen, not only as a handler, but as a screener, and just got back to that.

“We went over some of those actions the last two days. And also clean some of that up [Sunday]. So it’s just a matter of cleaning that up and going out there and doing it in the game situation, as opposed to the practice floor where you’re going through your offense at maybe 80 percent. Not only AP photo doing it on the floor, but doing it when Jimmy Butler celebrates after making a basket in the second half of the Bulls 108-100 you’re fatigued. That’s where we need victory over the Rockets on Saturday night at the United Center. to get better.”

Further evidence was offered up in ets. Forget Butler scoring 24 points and Having their best player back in the 108-100 win over the Houston Rock- grabbing 11 rebounds in his return af- Butler is a great start.

It just trickles down when you’re scoring goals and you’re getting bounces. It just snowballs, and it’s obviously going the right way for us.”

A big key has been the net-front presence of players such as Anisimov, Andrew Shaw and now Andrew Ladd.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

‘Crow’ muscles way into Vezina Trophy discussion

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Corey Crawford couldn’t help but smile Sunday evening when he was asked if he ever allows himself to think about winning the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender.

“I don’t know,” he said, almost bashfully. “It’d be a pretty nice honor. But we have a bunch of games to play, and it’s always about the next game first.”

The Vezina has been Washington goaltender Braden Holtby’s to lose all season, but Crawford has muscled his way into the conversation with

his consistently strong play since the start of December. And since a rough outdoor game in Minnesota, in which he was pulled after two periods, Crawford has given up only seven goals in his past four games. Crawford has a career-high 35 victories, and his .929 save percentage is the best Corey among goalies with at Crawford least 35 games played.

Patrick Kane is the front-runner to win the Hart Trophy as the league’s most valuable player, but Crawford has been every bit as important to the

Hawks this season. Getting picked for Canada’s World Cup of Hockey team this week was a sign he’s starting to get the league-wide respect that has eluded him. Being a Vezina finalist would solidify it.

“Maybe he has been part of that talk, maybe he hasn’t,” Jonathan Toews said. “But he’s got my vote, absolutely.”

Learning process: Dale Weise only played 7:43 as coach Joel Quenneville leaned heavily on his top three lines when it still was a one-goal game.

Weise, acquired before the trade deadline from Montreal, still likely is destined for the third line with To-

mas Fleischmann and Teuvo Teravainen. But for now, he still is feeling his way.

“He’s OK,” an underwhelmed Quenneville said. “For stretches, he looks all right.”

Showdowns loom: The Hawks hit the road this week for two huge games against St. Louis and Dallas, with whom they’re jockeying for first place in the Central Division. Crawford cautioned against looking ahead to the Stars before they deal with the Blues.

“This first one’s really important,” Crawford said. “We have to put all our focus on that one. It’s going to be a stepping stone for the playoffs.”

• Monday, March 7, 2016

CHICAGO – It’s not as if the Blackhawks need a functioning power play to win the Stanley Cup. They won with the 20th-ranked unit in the league last season. And they won with the 19thranked unit in 2013.

But for the first time in some time, the Hawks’ power play is good. Consistent, too. And right now, red hot. And it’s sure making life easier.

The Hawks got two power-play goals – moving them to No. 1 in the league with the man advantage – to knock off the Detroit Red Wings for the second time in less than a week Sunday, 4-1.

A penalty-killing unit that fended off three straight Detroit power plays in the second and third periods – because in part to another stellar, 33-save effort from Corey Crawford – made it a special kind of victory. An important one, too, because it allowed the Hawks to remain tied for first place with the Dallas Stars.

“When those are doing well, we have a good chance of winning the game,” Crawford said.

Duncan Keith and Artem Anisimov both scored on the power play, and the Hawks are a scorching 14 of 28 in their past nine games. Jonathan Toews couldn’t remember the power play

fact that mostly all eyes are on [Kane and Panarin] when they’re out there, 5-on-5 or on the power play,” Toews said. “But he’s the one retrieving pucks, winning draws and just getting the puck to those guys with time and space.”

The Hawks raced out to a 2-0 lead early, as Kane set a new career high in points (89) by scoring only 21 seconds into the game. Six minutes later, the Hawks led 2-0 on Keith’s power-play goal, and Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek’s night already was done. But Gustav Nyquist righted the Detroit ship by taking advantage of a stickless Trevor van Riemsdyk and roofing a shot past Crawford just two minutes later. And Detroit dominated play from there, taking 12 of the first 13 shots of the second period.

But the Hawks’ PK fended off the Wings, and the power play put the game away, as Anisimov redirected a Panarin shot past Jimmy Howard to make it 3-1 at 11:15 of the third. Just 68 seconds later, Andrew Desjardins’ shot ticked in off of Toews to make it 4-1.

Despite their gaudy record, the Hawks still have plenty of areas on which to improve. The penalty kill has been spotty all season, but should benefit from the pending returns of Marian Hossa (likely Wednesday in St. Louis) and Marcus Kruger (before the end of the regular season). They still are working in new players and figuring out line combinations, but as long as the power play keeps clicking – as it has all season in a welcome change of pace – it can go a long way toward making a long run.

6 NORTHWESTERN 65, NEBRASKA 54

Wildcats post win No. 20

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press

EVANSTON – Alex Olah knew he had to control his emotions. His parents were in the stands, visiting from Romania and watching him play college basketball in person for the first time.

“I don’t know how I kept it in,” said Olah, a senior center.

Olah stayed composed, scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Northwestern to a 65-54 victory over Nebraska in their regular-season finale Sunday.

“I was really emotional. I tried not to think about it the whole day,” Olah said. “I kind of put the game before all the emotions. I knew we were going to have to win this game to make history.”

Northwestern (20-11, 8-10) has won three straight and four of six to set a school record for victories in a regular season.

Tre Demps added 17 points for the Wildcats, who secured the ninth seed and a first-round bye in this week’s Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis.

Wildcats coach Chris Collins was impressed with Olah and Demps’ poise on senior day.

“I was worried about that,” Collins said. “I expected [Olah] to be really emotional and us to kind of have to uplift him early because he was really excited. And it was the opposite. He and Tre got us off to a great start.”

Northwestern tied for 10th in each of Collins’ first two seasons.

Northwestern center Alex Olah (left) goes to the basket against Nebraska forward Ed Morrow during the second half Sunday in Evanston. The Wildcats won, 65-54.

“This year, we came in ninth with a lot of injuries,” Collins said. “The improvement we’re making, guys are getting better.”

Nebraska (14-17, 6-12) has lost five straight and nine of its past 11 to end up with the 11th seed. Tai Webster and Andrew White III scored 13 points

apiece and Shavon Shields added 11.

Shields, the Huskers leading scorer at 16.7 points, was just 2 for 12 from the field.

“We did a great job defending Shields and White,” Collins said. “To hold him to 2 for 12, to force Andrew White to take 12 shots to get 13 points, that was our main focus, doing a great job on those two guys.”

Northwestern shot 45.3 percent from the field compared to Nebraska’s 36.5 percent. The Wildcats also outrebounded the Huskers, 40-26.

“You miss that many shots and end up turning the ball over 13 times, you got a real problem on your hands,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said.

The Wildcats went on a 13-0 run, with Demps scoring seven, to turn a two-point deficit into an 11-point lead with 8:54 to play in the first half.

Bryant McIntosh completed a 3-point play to give Northwestern its largest lead, 37-17, with 54 seconds left before halftime. Shields hit a late 3-pointer, but Nebraska still trailed 37-22 at halftime.

Nebraska, down 19 early in the second half, cut the lead to six with 4:03 remaining on a layup and two free throws by Shields. But Olah and Sanjay Lumpkin scored on the other end for a 59-50 Northwestern lead with 2:19 left. Shields turned the ball over with 56 seconds to play and Falzon made two free throws to push the lead back to 11.

“The fact that we haven’t been able to win, or just play better, has been disappointing for me,” Miles said.

PENN STATE 86, ILLINOIS 79 (2OT)

Illini fall to Nittany Lions in double OT

By TRAVIS JOHNSON The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Brandon Taylor had plenty to smile about after capping his best season in a Penn State uniform as the Nittany Lions secured their first ever first-round bye in the Big Ten tournament with an 8679 double-overtime win over Illinois on Sunday.

“I think we had fresh legs for the most part,” Taylor said. “I just think that every huddle we had was positive.”

Shep Garner scored 22 points and Taylor added 21 and 11 rebounds for the Nittany Lions (16-15, 7-11 Big Ten), who snapped a two-game losing streak and set a mark for their most confer-

ence wins under head coach Patrick Chambers.

Josh Reaves added 13 points and Donovon Jack chipped in 10 for the Nittany Lion, who saw a 10-point lead turn into a one-point deficit with less than two minutes to play.

Malcolm Hill scored 24 of his 39 points in the second half and Malcolm Hill added 13 rebounds for the Fighting Illini (13-18, 5-13).

Khalid Lewis added 10 points for the Illini, who outscored Penn State 22-12 over the final 8:49 of regulation.

Penn State led for 16:13 of the first half including the first 9:14 but never by more than six points. A shootout ensued

down the stretch as the teams swapped the lead six times before Garner nailed his third 3-pointer and converted a soaring layup in the closing minute to give Penn State a 37-36 halftime lead.

Garner finished the first half with 11 points and made three of Penn State’s five 3-pointers.

Reaves, who set a career high in points, started hot on the backend, too. He scored six of his eight first-half points and added two blocks in the first 5:30. But his minutes were cut after drawing his second foul with 5:13 left.

With Reaves in foul trouble early, Taylor got going midway through the second half. He ran off seven-straight points, capped by a turnaround jumper through traffic that put Penn State up 53-43 with 12:15 left.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Indiana knocks off Maryland The ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS – Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell had 17 points in his final home game while Troy Williams matched his career high with 23 points to lead No. 12 Indiana past No. 14 Maryland, 80-62, Sunday.

With the win, the Big Ten champion Hoosiers (25-6, 15-3) finished 17-0 at home and completed their first perfect season at Assembly Hall since 2006-07.

Melo Trimble had 17 points and Robert Carter added 14 for Maryland (24-7, 12-6), which heads into the conference tournament with four losses in its past six games.

After falling into an early eightpoint deficit, the Hoosiers tied the score at 18, took control with a 14-3 run and closed the first half on a 9-0 spurt to take a 41-28 lead.

Maryland couldn’t get closer than nine points in the second half.

No. 15 Purdue 91, Wisconsin 80: At West Lafayette, Indiana, freshman Caleb Swanigan scored a career-high 27 points and sophomore P.J. Thompson also set a career best with 22, leading Purdue against Wisconsin.

A.J. Hammons added 16 points and Vince Edwards had 11 for the Boilermakers (24-7, 12-6), who forced a fourway tie for third place in the Big Ten with Maryland, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Purdue earned the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten tournament and will play in Friday’s second semifinal against an opponent to be determined.

Nigel Hayes led Wisconsin (20-11, 126) with 30 points, including 18 in the second half. The Badgers earned the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament and will play Thursday in Indianapolis’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Badgers, who had a four-game winning streak snapped, are the reigning Big Ten Tournament champs.

Cincinnati 61, No. 24 SMU 54: At Cincinnati, Troy Caupain scored 14 points despite missing all of six his shots from beyond the arc, and Cincinnati overcame poor shooting to end SMU’s season.

The Bearcats (22-9, 12-6 American Athletic) held on despite shooting 29.5 percent from the field overall, including 1 of 19 from beyond the arc. They made a difference at the free throw line, going 24 of 30. Caupain made only 4 of 19 shots.

It was a final disappointment for SMU (25-5, 13-5).

8 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Sox sign OF Jackson to 1-year deal Abreu, Frazier hit back-to-back HRs; White Sox top Padres

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – It was hard to imagine the White Sox proceeding into 2016 with a defensive outfield of (from left to right) Melky Cabrera, Adam Eaton and Avisail Garcia.

It didn’t make sense that they would upgrade the infield with Todd Frazier and Brett Lawrie and a combination of veteran Jimmy Rollins and young’n Tyler Saladino at shortstop only to watch the open space beyond them go unattended.

What’s more, their best defender of them all, Eaton, hasn’t been able to play in center while he builds up arm strength, and although Eaton has guaranteed all who will listen that he’ll be out there by Opening Day, perhaps it was a level of doubt that caused general manager Rick Hahn to pull the trigger on signing Austin Jackson to a one-year, $5 million deal Sunday.

Jackson had been on the Sox’s radar for some time, and although he’s no Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon or even Dexter Fowler for that matter – all of them pursued by the Sox but rejected by each player returning to his former team – Jackson makes the Sox better with added depth and in all likelihood a starting player.

And like Rollins before him, he very well might be coming to the South Side to be the Sox’s starting center fielder with Eaton moving to a corner.

“I do think most of Austin’s time

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier hit back-to-back home runs, Carlos Rodon pitched three scoreless innings and the White Sox defeated a San Diego Padres split squad, 8-1, Sunday.

Rodon gave up one hit in his first start this spring, a single by Rocky Gale. The lefthander walked one and struck out two.

AP file photo

Cubs outfielder Austin Jackson celebrates with pitcher Jon Lester after scoring against the Pirates on Sept. 15 in Pittsburgh. The White Sox bolstered their outfield depth when Jackson, a free agent, agreed to a $5 million, one-year contract Sunday. will come in center,” Hahn said Sunday night.

The possibilities are many, and the flexibility is welcome. The Sox now can line up with Eaton in left, Jackson in center, Garcia in right and Melky Cabrera at designated hitter. Or, if

Adam LaRoche happens to be healthy and producing at DH, an outfield of Eaton, Jackson and Cabrera with Garcia on the bench. Other combinations are possible, including Eaton at DH if need be. That wouldn’t be the best one, but now the Sox have a legit center fielder in place should Eaton be restricted.

Left-handed hitting J.B. Shuck, a decent pinch hitter and bench player last year, is another possibility should the Sox keep five outfielders. “[Jackson’s] addition to the roster provides (manager) Robin (Ventura) with additional flexibility from both a defensive and offensive standpoint,” Hahn said.

“We still believe Avisail Garcia will convert on that talent and blossom into that player we think he can become.

Jackson provides us with another alternative in the outfield, whether it’s to substitute for underperformance in the outfield or the DH spot.”

Hahn said he expects Eaton to

be ready by Opening Day. Ventura said Sunday he won’t be concerned until “probably a week before the end of the [spring].” Ventura said trainer Herm Schneider isn’t “alarmed by it too much. I know Adam’s not either.”

In Jackson, 29, who will be in camp Monday, the Sox get a right-handed hitter and skilled outfielder who batted .267 with nine homers, 48 RBIs and 17 stolen bases between the Seattle Mariners and Cubs over 527 plate appearances last season. He also is familiar with the AL Central, having started his career with the Detroit Tigers. In six career seasons, he is a .273/.333/.399 hitter with 55 homers and 106 stolen bases.

Hahn has been busy turning over the Sox’s roster. Jackson joins Frazier, Lawrie, Rollins, Alex Avila, Dioner Navarro and Mat Latos on his list of new guys.

“For our team, [Jackson] would add versatility in the outfield, some speed,” said Avila, a former Tigers teammate.

“He’s a very good center fielder, covers a lot of ground. The thing about Austin, he’s just a really, really great athlete.

“Obviously, the front office has been busy trying to put together a group they feel is going to win some of those extra ball games, get you to that mark where you need to get to the playoffs.

It’s exciting for the players.’’

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Sox designated Mike Olt for assignment.

WHITE SOX NOTES

LaRoche day to day after back spasms Saturday

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Designated hitter Adam LaRoche, who left the White Sox’s Cactus League game against the Kansas City Royals with a back spasm Saturday, received more treatment Sunday but did not need an MRI, the Sox said.

LaRoche, 36, who is looking to bounce back from a disappointing first season with the Sox in which he batted .207 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs, made significant improvement Sunday, a Sox spokesman said, and has no nerve damage. LaRoche is day to day.

The Sox are counting on LaRoche to rebound from last season, his first as a DH since coming over from the Nation-

al League, and provide a left-handed presence in the middle of their lineup.

He was signed for two years and $25 million before the 2015 season.

LaRoche homered inside the right-field foul pole Friday in his first game against Indians left-hander Ross Detwiler, and after the game manager Robin Ventura talked up LaRoche’s Adam LaRoche swing and fitness level.

Ventura called the medical reports “encouraging.”

“He says he feels better today,” Ventura said. “But who knows how long this is going to be. It has to do with the back, so we don’t expect him to be in there tomorrow, either. Hopefully, the day after we can get something out of

him. But you know right now we’re just going to see how he feels.”

“Emotional” times for Alexei: San Diego Padres shortstop Alexei Ramirez had spent his entire career with the Sox, who did not pick up his $10 million option this offseason. Ramirez said he asked to play in Sunday’s road game against the Sox in Glendale, where he received a nice round of applause.

“Every time I came up to the plate I could hear them,” Ramirez said through a translator. “It was emotional. I have to say thanks to the Chicago White Sox for that.”

Ramirez, who received a $4 million guarantee from the Padres, did not have other offers, he said. He had hoped to finish his career with the Sox. When the Sox declined to bring him back, “It hurt because I spent so much

time in Chicago and formed somewhat of a family. At the same time, that’s baseball.”

It was somewhat ironic that Ramirez, in his first at-bat, was retired on a ground ball by 37-year-old Jimmy Rollins, who was signed to a $2 million deal to assume at least a share of the shortstop duties. Rollins ranged behind second and made a nice play.

Ramirez batted third and singled and walked in three plate appearances.

Sox power: Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier hit their first homers, back-toback style, giving the Sox seven in four spring games.

“We want to see that more often,” said Frazier, who followed Abreu with an even deeper blast. “If we can mimic each other, it’s going to be a heck of a year.”

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Vogelbach, Schwarber Cubs’ young, left-handed doppelganger sluggers

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Dexter Fowler showed with one big swing how happy he is to be back with the Cubs.

Fowler, who turned down a bigger contract and made a late decision to return to the Cubs, homered for his first hit of the spring in the Cubs’ 8-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Fowler spurned a threeyear, $33 million deal with Baltimore to sign a oneDexter Fowler year, $13 million contract with the Cubs on Feb. 25.

He had turned down a one-year, $15.8 million qualifying offer from the Cubs in November to test the free-agent market.

“My timing is coming around on the left side,” the switch-hitting center fielder said.

“Right-handed still is a work in progress. But all in all, I feel good. I’m seeing the ball at the plate. That’s the most important thing.” team win a World Series. So I’m going to play hard and perform, and wherever the chips fall, that’s where it’s going to happen.”

For now, he’s in Mesa, working in the early days of camp alongside Rizzo, spending all of camp with at least a small sense of what it might be like to be that young big-league hitter who captures the imagination of fans – fans who will know his name without hav-

ing to see the back of his jersey.

“He’s done a lot of work this offseason to improve his swing,” said Schwarber, who knows all about Vogelbach’s work ethic and talent as teammates and roommates at high-A Daytona in 2014 and Double-A Tennessee the first half of 2015. “It’s been looking good.”

“And Rizzo’s kind of been taking me under his wing a little bit with helping me at first base,” Vogelbach said. “He doesn’t have to do that. He’s got better things to worry about, but I appreciate it. And that’s what I’m here to do. I’m here to really work on first base, put extra time into fielding and continue hitting the way I’ve been doing.”

Hamstring and oblique injuries last season put Vogelbach on the disabled list for the first time in his career, costing him about half the season. But he produced when he played (.272 with a .403 OBP and 24 extra-base hits in 76 games), and he’s healthy and stronger this year, he said.

He even did an especially good impersonation of Schwarber in their game together, driving a two-out, ground-rule double to the opposite-field gap to drive home the Cubs’ only run of the game.

“It was definitely cool to have him in the lineup and have him hit the RBI double,” said Schwarber, who went hitless, leaving him wishing for another case of mistaken identity. “I wish.”

CUBS NOTES

Yet another team motto finds its way onto T-shirt

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Apparently “Embrace the Target” wasn’t enough, or too complicated.

Either way, the Cubs embraced a new motto Sunday morning when new T-shirts showed up at their lockers to wear during morning workouts. On the front: “Try not to suck” (with an image of manager Joe Maddon’s glasses).

“It’s kind of true,” reliever Justin Grimm said. “It’s, like, just try not to suck.”

Just like that.

The phrase is not new for this group, especially during games, when catcher David Ross makes it a habit to share the thought with teammates heading to the plate or to the mound.

How it’s taken this long to find its way onto a T-shirt in the clubhouse that leads the majors in T-shirts and slogans is probably the strangest thing about the phrase, especially given its team history since Maddon and Ross showed up on the scene a year ago.

Javier Baez said Maddon inspired him with the thought during their meeting in the manager’s office when Joe Maddon Baez was called up from the minors in September.

“He just told me to relax and just enjoy the game,” Baez said. “And then at the end he said, ‘Try not to suck.’

“I just laughed and said, ‘OK.’ ” The debut of the shirts came one day after Maddon’s annual “Respect the

Bald” hair-shaving promotion raised nearly $30,000 for pediatric cancer research. And the shirts already are available online for $29.99 at korkedbaseball.com, with Maddon’s part of the proceeds benefiting charity.

“When we say it in the dugout we laugh,” Maddon said. “It’s the most positive negative you’ve ever heard in your life.”

And it’s only the beginning. Maddon is working with the T-shirt maker on a line featuring several Maddonisms.

New guy, new role? Adam Warren opened last season as a starter for the Yankees, and after being traded to the Cubs in December, he was told by his new team he’d get the chance to start at some point.

With the way the Cubs’ pitching staff is built, that might have to wait.

“I think it’s up in the air,” said Warren, who made his spring debut Sunday, pitching two innings against the Diamondbacks. “They basically said (at the start of camp), ‘We can’t tell you what you’re going to do right now, but you could start. Or you could be in the bullpen.’ ” Team president Theo Epstein talked about Warren as a starter when he was acquired.

“But this is a special season for this team, so I think we’re just going to see how it plays out,” Warren said. “I don’t mind being in either role. I think they understand that and know that I can bounce back and forth between the two.”

Note: The Cubs brought back outfielder Ryan Kalish, signing the 2014 Cub to a minor league deal (not in bigleague camp).

• Monday, March 7, 2016

MESA, Ariz. – Kyle Schwarber and first-base prospect Dan Vogelbach were on the same field at the same time the other day for the Cubs, disrupting the neural activity of dozens of Cubs fans pressed up against the rail from dugout to dugout.

“Hey, Schwarber!” shouted fans seeking autographs when they initially saw Vogelbach on the field. “Schwarber!”

Vogelbach, who’s Kyle been through this Schwarber since he and Schwarber were minor-league teammates, smiled and turned to show the back of his jersey.

“Oh, it’s Dan!” one voice could be heard above the rest.

The shouts resumed: “Dan! Dan! Come and sign!”

It’s become a running joke at Cubs spring training, with Vogelbach joining Schwarber in big-league camp for the first time.

They’re the Cubs’ doppelganger sluggers – both young left-handed hitters shaped like 6-foot boulders with tufts of blondish chin hair. That they’re

roommates for the spring means they spend an especially large amount of time in the vicinity of each other, creating mistaken-identity moments almost daily.

“People do it all time,” Vogelbach said. “I’m used to it. I could have a lot worse comparisons.”

The trick will be keeping the comparisons alive as he progresses into Triple-A this season and then, presumably, the big leagues.

The bigger trick might be doing it with the Cubs.

Dan Vogelbach, 23, is a Vogelbach first baseman without a second position and no reason to think the designated hitter rule is coming to the National League anytime soon.

“Obviously, (Anthony) Rizzo is the first baseman for the Chicago Cubs, and that’s not going to change,” said Vogelbach, who has a .382 career onbase percentage and .855 OPS in the minors since being drafted in the second round in 2011. “I just go out every day, and I play hard. And for me to be in the big leagues I have to perform.

“Whether there’s a spot for me with the Cubs or – that’s what I want to do; I want to play in Chicago and help this

before tearing his ACL in 2008. Montana played a full 16-game season only four times in 15 seasons and did play all nine games in the strike-shortened 1982 season.

If you like passer rating, Manning (96.5) and Brady (96.4) are fourth and fifth all time. Montana’s is 92.3 and Favre is well back at 86.0 because of his NFL record 336 interceptions.

For my money, Montana is an easy choice for fourth because he is only on the list because of his Super Bowl accomplishments, and Brady actually has matched his four rings and three Super Bowl MVPs. Favre is the one I enjoyed watching the most, but the 336 picks are hard to ignore, although Manning is actually ninth with 251 and Unitas was seventh with 253.

Manning and Brady. How do you split them? The rings?

I guess you have to ask yourself this: If you had just one game you had to win, life or death, and you could have Manning, Brady, Favre or Montana at quarterback, which one would you pick?

Scott wins 2 titles in a row Keselowski passes Kyle Busch to win in Las Vegas

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Brad Keselowski passed Kyle Busch with five laps to go Sunday and surged to his second win in three years in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway under weird and windy weather conditions.

Keselowski got past teammate Joey Logano and then tracked down Busch, whose right Brad front wheel vibrated Keselowski and struggled down the stretch. Keselowski, who overcame an early speeding penalty, drove his Team Penske Ford to his first Sprint Cup Series victory of the season and his first in nearly a full year since Fontana in March 2015.

“This is really, really great,” Keselowski said. “It seemed like there were

plenty of challenges, whether it was pit road or the weather or cautions.

They threw everything they had at us today ... but we were able to fight them off and get to Victory Lane.”

Logano finished second, and Jimmie Johnson came in third.

Busch finished fourth in the opener of NASCAR’s three-week Southwest swing, falling a few laps shy of completing a weekend sweep. The defending Sprint Cup champ dominated the Xfinity Series race Saturday.

Keselowski gambled on fuel to win.

He also persevered through a lurking storm that blew gale-force winds and light rain onto the desert track. The wind regularly blew debris into the drivers’ grills, getting pole-sitter Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson in the opening laps.

Later, the wind picked up sharply while an apparent dust storm rose on the outskirts of the track, obscuring the view of nearby Nellis Air Force Base and briefly dropping more rain.

DORAL, Fla. – Adam Scott faced a daunting challenge, a six-shot deficit with 13 holes remaining on a course that was playing tougher than it had at any point this week.

And after overcoming that, he needed to survive two brushes with big trouble on the final hole to finish the job.

Scott won for the second straight week, shooting a final-round 69 to win the Cadil- Adam Scott lac Championship by one shot over Bubba Watson. It’s the second win for Scott in a World Golf Championships event, his 13th career win on the PGA Tour and he now hasn’t finished lower than second in any of his past three starts.

“Everything fell the right way for me today,” Scott said.

Scott finished the week at 12-under-par 276. Watson (68) was alone in second, and Danny Willett (69) and

Rory McIlroy (74) were tied for third, two shots back. Phil Mickelson (70) was alone in fifth at 9 under and Jimmy Walker shot the round of the day, a 6-under 66 to finish alone in sixth at 8 under.

With course owner Donald Trump popping in Sunday, arriving by helicopter and greeting fans as he drove around in a cart, there was plenty of drama away from the fairways and greens.

Scott ensured there was a ton on the grass as well, after two double-bogeys in a three-hole span on the front side seemed to send his round into a tailspin. That is, until he got hot at just the right time with birdies on six of his next nine holes after the second double.

“It was such a challenge out there today,” Scott said. “I knew if I could just get a couple before the turn, maybe I’ll have a chance.”

It’s anyone’s guess if Scott will get a chance to defend the title at Doral in 2017. General Motors’ sponsorship agreement with the event ends this week and with no sponsor, there’s no tournament.

Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, but his decision to retire after 18 seasons isn’t exactly news.

After four surgeries led to an uncomfortable 2015 season in which he was the lowest rated – which equates to least efficient – quarterback in the NFL and yet somehow still won the Super Bowl, the only real news he could have made would be if he decided to attempt to play another season.

Anybody who ever has covered/ reported on Manning closely knows he is far too smart, far too competitive and far too classy to have tried to come back for another season.

Now all that is left is to be exceptionally grateful for having witnessed all that he accomplished and to ponder the obvious question: Is he the greatest QB ever?

Most of what I’ve seen recently has had four quarterbacks in the conversation.

Clearly Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana and John Unitas have to be considered.

But one can only leave Brett Favre out of the debate based on personal bias, and I’m not sure how we ignore Otto Graham?

Graham lead the Cleveland Browns to 10 consecutive championship games in the old American

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

At the Wellness Institute of Illinois we have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “roster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc…) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained.

The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue. This tissue is a rich source of non-immunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
