Good morning, McHenry County ...

Housing issue remains unspoken Editorial board members have spent time this month meeting candidates for McHenry County and statewide offices; cheery optimism about this great state of Illinois reigned supreme.

Sarcasm aside, many candidates talked about the mass exodus from Illinois and correctly pointed to a lack of jobs as a key factor in why people are fleeing. It is a major factor, as are property taxes.

One thing I haven’t heard, however, is that one of the key reasons people split from one state to another is affordable housing.

One key demographic McHenry County is losing – by 8 percent between 2010 and 2014 – is 25- to 44-year-olds. Jobs are part of that equation, but if you’re 25 and paying off exorbitant student loans, where are you supposed to

PEDESTRIAN DEATHS RISE IN ’15 Report finds 22 percent of fatal crashes in county involved pedestrians

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com Despite dropping for three consecutive years, the percentage of fatal traffic crashes involving pedestrians rose last year in McHenry County, based on reports from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Of the 18 traffic fatalities that occurred in McHenry County in 2015, four of them resulted in pedestrian deaths, accounting for 22 percent of fatal crashes in 2015. That’s more than four times the rate from 2014, and upward of double the rate from 2013 and 2012, according to IDOT reports.

Several local officials are working

by Andrew Celentano.

“This sort of thing is actually pandemic,” Celentano said. “There are solutions to this thing in some form or

another all over the place. This isn’t just McHenry County or Woodstock.

Wherever there are people and roads, people are going to cross them.”

The four pedestrian traffic fatalities in 2015 in the county weren’t centered in any one area.

McHenry-area farmer Tom King died after he was struck by a motorcycle outside his home in May. A month later, 80-year-old Wheeling resident Seymour Fishman was killed while crossing Route 31 north of Route 176.

In October, 71-year-old Archie Horn of McHenry was killed while crossing Green Street.

Court costs lawsuit refiled

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A lawsuit that was dismissed in federal court last year has been refiled in McHenry County. The suit alleges that fines collected by the county’s 22nd Judicial Circuit are unconstitutional and defendants have been improperly charged millions of dollars.

The suit, filed Feb. 4 against McHenry County Clerk Kathy Keefe, Treasurer Glenda Miller and the county, seeks class action status as well as refunds for two defendants: Thomas Venezio and Anthony Masoni.

The suit claims the costs imposed by the circuit clerk’s office are added fines, which violates defendants’ constitutional right to due process and governments’ constitutional prohibition against ex post facto addition of penalties.

In Masoni’s case, for instance, a judge fined him $1,750 for a DUI, but fees added an additional $2,000, resulting in totals exceeding the $2,500 maximum fine allowed by statute for that type of offense, the lawsuit states.

“Our position is they have done it wrong for years,” said Ray Flavin, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys. “Those fines they have collected are void, and as a result they should return them.”

Flavin said the Illinois Supreme Court clarified the difference between fines, which are punishments handed out by a judge, and fees, which are used to recoup expenses. He contends that other courts, such as Kane County’s, have adjusted and now take fees out of the fine imposed by the judge, instead of adding them on top of the fine as McHenry County does.

He estimated that the costs add up to more than $25 million.

CARRYOUT % DINE-IN % DELIVERY % CATERING

McHenry County’s process has changed slightly since the federal lawsuit was filed.

Before, defendants would learn of the additional court costs when they went to pay their fine at the circuit clerk window.

McHenry County has since begun rolling out electronic sentencing orders that are signed by a judge and handed to defendants before they leave the courtroom.

Keefe deferred comment on the lawsuit to the state’s attorney’s office, although she did say she believed the changes implemented were enough to satisfy the complaint in the lawsuit.

“I believe he got one of the electronic sentencing orders, which we feel addresses the issues we raised that the judge is not ordering the fines and fees,” Keefe said.

Miller also deferred comment to the state’s attorney’s office. A representative was not immediately available for comment.

Commission nixes allegations against County Board members

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Ethics Commission will review the county ethics ordinance after tossing three complaints on the grounds that they are not addressed in it.

Commission members voted Thursday, 4-0, that ethics complaints filed against County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller and member Anna May Miller by anti-township activist Bob Anderson were not sufficient to advance them to the state’s attorney’s office.

A n d e r s o n a l l e g e d Joe in two complaints that Gottemoller Gottemoller and Miller should not have voted Oct. 6 against putting township consolidation referendums on the March 15 ballot.

He alleged that Gottemoller’s work representing Grafton Township as an attorney, and Miller’s work as a secretary for Algonquin Township Highway Department – she is married to township Highway Commissioner Robert Miller – constitute conflicts of interest.

A third complaint aimed solely at Miller alleged that her use of the county seal in a mailer for her 2016 campaign constitutes a prohibited political activity under the ordinance.

But commission members were quick to point out that none of Anderson’s allegations are specifically prohibited under the ordinance. The 2004

ordinance, created to comply with a state mandate, forbids engaging in political activities on taxpayer time or accepting gifts in exchange for political favors.

No part of the ordinance addresses conflicts of interest in voting where gifts aren’t concerned, commissioners Cherie Rickert and John Guanci observed.

“I could find nowhere within our ordinance that this complaint would fit either a gift ban or prohibited political activity,” Rickert said.

However, while Guanci agreed, he stated that he would have reAnna May cused himself from votMiller ing on the issue had he been in either Gottemoller’s or Miller’s place.

As for the allegation regarding the seal, commissioners could find no evidence that Miller used county resources.

Miller argued, correctly, that the seal has appeared on the campaign literature of numerous County Board candidates over the years.

What’s more, there is no opinion from the state’s attorney’s office regarding whether the county seal can be used in campaign literature, Assistant State’s Attorney Brandy Quance said. McHenry County’s seal merely is the state seal, but with the state’s name and founding date replaced.

Guanci, who argued that “it’s been

done before” is a justification he did not like, was the commissioner who formally asked for a future meeting to review the ordinance.

Gottemoller said he was happy that the hearing was over, and argued that his voting on the township consolidation referendums, which were defeated, in no way was a conflict of interest.

“I think that not only do I have the ability, I also have the obligation to take the vote. That’s what the people elected me to do – to make votes,” Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said.

Miller, R-Cary, said the past several days have been the longest of her political career.

“I haven’t spent 14 years serving to do something wrong,” Miller said as her voice broke.

Anderson doesn’t see the outcome as a defeat, provided that a stronger ethics ordinance is the final product.

Whatever changes the commission proposes have to be approved by the full County Board.

“If I didn’t try to make a point and push this, none of this would change,” Anderson said.

The commission has heard only one other case in its decadelong history.

The first was filed in 2013 by blogger Cal Skinner against then-Undersheriff Andy Zinke, whom Skinner alleged sent a political email from his work account during work hours.

Zinke was running for sheriff. The commission sided with Zinke, who went on to lose the 2014 sheriff’s primary.

The death investigation, which is now concluded after the medical examiner’s ruling, was being conducted by the Cook County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the Arlington Heights Police Department.

Anderson had last been seen at his Arlington Heights home at 4:30 p.m.

Monday, Arlington Heights police said.

His car was located by the Cook County Forest Preserve Police at the intersection of Donlea and Bateman roads in Barrington Hills near Spring Creek Valley Forest Preserve at 7 p.m. Monday.

CARY

At least 2 positions will be open by end of April

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – The Cary Village Board is seeking applicants for its Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals for at least two seats that will be open April 30.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said the five-year appointments of Jennifer Meyer and Patrick Khoury

are expiring, and other seats could be open if members choose to step down.

An application for the board is available on the village’s website.

Appointments will be made by Village President Mark Kownick with the advice and consent of the Village Board.

While turnover on the zoning board is normal, Clark said the appointment process could provide an opportunity for officials to ensure both boards are working together and conducting public hearings properly.

The zoning board has been involved in some high-profile cases over

the past year, holding multiple hearings regarding the Pedcor affordable housing complex.

The board also was criticized by a developer and some trustees about how it handled votes for variances on a proposed senior housing complex.

Clark also noted the Chris Clark Village Board had gone against the zoning board’s recommendations with unusual frequency, including unanimously rejecting a cell tower that the zoning board had rec-

• PEDESTRIANS

Robert Choate Jr., 41, of Johnsburg was killed in August when officials said he purposely stepped into traffic on Route 120 outside McHenry. (Even without Choate’s death, pedestrian fatalities would account for 16 percent of fatal traffic crashes, higher than previous years).

When they met last month, Celentano said commissioners discussed a Dec. 21 crash in which a pedestrian was struck while crossing Route 47 near Calhoun Street. Because Route 47 is a state highway, there’s little that can be done locally, Celentano said. But one idea floated by commissioners was a midblock traffic light for pedestrian crossing.

In Crystal Lake, administrative analyst and chairman of the city’s Traffic Safety Committee Jeff Mawdsley said the city installed six rectangular flashing beacons at various intersections to improve pedestrian crossings. One of them installed in 2015 was at the intersection of Ackman Road and Westport Ridge to help students safely cross Ackman when walking to Crystal Lake South High School.

Among upcoming projects to reduce

“Several of the pedestrian safety improvements done in the past several years are the result of the committee researching concerns submitted by residents and implementing solutions to ad-

dress those concerns,” Mawdsley wrote in an email.

Principal transportation planner with the McHenry County Division of Transportation Scott Hennings said pedestrian concerns were taken into consideration when drafting the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, adopted in 2014. About $63 million was projected to be spent from 2015 to 2040 on projects for pedestrians and bicyclists in the form of trail extensions and side paths near county highways.

Diane Bergeron, a runner and employee of the Running Depot in Crystal Lake, said she feels safe while running, although she puts a portion of the responsibility on herself.

She said she runs toward traffic so she can make eye contact with the drivers. Reflective gear is all but required, as are words to indicate to running partners that a car is coming. And she and runners she knows try to avoid getting out during peak commuting hours.

“We really do try to be cognizant,” Bergeron said. “... I think that’s why generally there is a good vibe. Every once in a while you get a car that doesn’t want to move over. But we run in pretty obscure hours, so we usually just say they need their coffee.”

“Certainly, it has required us to look at our code, look at our process, which we’re now launching into with a new unified development ordinance, and continue to look at how we’re staffing and advising our boards and commissions,” Clark said.

The topic of appointments was discussed at Cary’s Oct. 6 board meeting, with trustees Dave Chapman and Kim Covelli raising the topic because they said they wanted to ensure open appointments were publicly advertised and the current ordinance did not specifically require that.

10 CARPENTERSVILLE

D-300 accepting bids for expansion of middle school

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300 is accepting bids for the expansion of Carpentersville Middle School, a project budgeted for about $2.6 million, school officials said.

The school board in October approved the reconfiguration of the Carpentersville-area schools.

The change, which will occur for next school year, will affect Carpentersville Middle School because it moves to add sixth-graders to what is now a seventh- and eighth-grade building.

“We had [sixth-graders] in there about 10 years ago, then moved to another model,” Assistant Superintendent of Operations Chuck Bumbales said. “Now we’re reconfiguring things again and moving them back into CMS so it’ll be parallel to all the other middle schools.”

The reconfiguration also will convert Parkview, Meadowdale, Golfview, Perry and Lakewood to pre-K through fifth-grade schools; Lakewood currently serves fifth- and sixth-graders.

After the district was not selected for a school construction bond program, Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin said the project will require the district to issue about $2 million in debt certificates, for which the payments will come from the district’s operating funds.

The issuance will need board approval.

The change will bring an influx of about 400 students to Carpentersville Middle School for a total enrollment of about 1,175 students, Bumbales said.

To facilitate that increase, nine classrooms will be added to the south side of the building.

The district went out to bid Feb. 1 and held a pre-bid meeting Monday, according to district documents.

“We had well over 20 contractors of various trades,” Bumbales said, adding those who attended were able to ask questions and see the building.

The project is scheduled to begin at the end of March with asbestos removal. Bumbales said the asbestos at the back of the building is undisturbed and not a hazard at this time.

From that point, work will progress for the rest of the project, which is scheduled to last until July.

Students should be minimally affected, Bumbales said, adding one art lab and a computer lab will be affected, as well as a couple students who will have to change lockers.

From plumbing to electrical to demolition, Bumbales said there likely will be between 12 to 15 contractors submitting bids, and hopefully, four to six bidders on each trade package.

Bids have to be in by Feb. 23, and the hired construction management firm, Lamp Inc., will review the bid and scope with low bidders on Feb. 24, documents state.

Man flown to hospital after DUI crash in Cary

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com and ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARY – A Cary man who was flown to a Level 1 trauma center Thursday after fire officials said he crashed a car into a tree was later charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, police said.

Cary Fire Protection District crews and the Cary Police Department were dispatched about 10:07 a.m. for the crash, which Deputy Fire Chief Brad Delatorre said happened at the corner of Forest Lane and Oak Valley Drive.

Crews found the man walking on Silver Tree Circle in the same neighborhood, Delatorre said, and police added the vehicle was found to have significant front-end damage.

“He was walking on the road over there ... back to his house,” Delatorre said.

Naydenoff, who identified the man as 39-year-old Salvador Herrera of Cary, later said an investigation revealed that Herrera was found to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at the time of the crash.

Naydenoff said he could not confirm where Herrera was walking, but that he was about a quarter-mile away from the crash site.

Flight for Life took Herrera to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Herrera’s injuries were not life-threatening, but officials said they required a specialist. Delatorre did not have details on what caused the crash.

He said no one else was in the vehicle, and there were no other injuries.

Naydenoff said the crash remains under investigation by the Cary Police Department, which was assisted by the McHenry County Sheriff Office’s Accident Investigation Team.

Police also encouraged anyone with information about the crash to call the Cary Police Department at 847-639-2341.

JOHN MARSLAND John “Jack” Marsland, 88, of Algonquin and formerly of Palatine, passed away at home on Feb. 8, 2016.

“There is nothing in the world as irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” Jack was gifted with both and shared them freely.

He was a loving husband, father and grandfather; he will be deeply missed by his children, Jennie (Joe Murphy), Kate (Alan Harkrader) and Charlie (Ann); two grandsons, Matthew and Max; his sister, Joan Jewell; and his in-laws, Lorinda and John Bradford.

In his final years, Jack was also loved and cared for by his personal aides, Marilyn Villarama, Diane Kaufmann and Toni Villarama.

Jack cherished his family and friends and was a dedicated volunteer for the Friends of the Algonquin Area Library for many years.

He was a lifelong soccer fan, and an early president and coach of the Palatine Celtic Soccer Club.

No suspects a week after 6 found dead

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Authorities have no suspects and a motive remains elusive one week after six family members were found dead in their Chicago home, police said Thursday, with investigators now focusing on video evidence, the weapons used and interviews with relatives and acquaintances to try to glean clues about why the family was targeted.

The wounds indicate that three knives or knife-like weapons were used to kill five of the victims, including two children; one woman was shot, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Investigators are interviewing a wide range of people, from the kids’ dad and their teachers to the adults’ co-workers, he said, “looking for what could have been the catalyst for this.”

“This was not random,” he said.

“There’s something centered on that family.”

The father of Leonardo Cruz, 13, and Alexis Cruz, 10, arrived in Chicago from his home in Morelos, Mexico, on Wednesday to attend Sunday funeral

News from across the state Residents weigh in on proposed mine expansion

HILLSBORO – Some central Illinois residents are asking state regulators to reject a proposed expansion of a coal mine where an underground fire has smoldered for nearly a year.

Opponents of Foresight Energy’s planned Deer Run Mine expansion testified at a Thursday public hearing in Hillsboro that the company’s inability to quell the ongoing fire should lead the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to reject the request.

Foresight ceased mine production in early January in part because of the elevated carbon monoxide levels below ground. The company has applied for a 7,731-acre expansion into areas unaffected by the fire.

Deer Run operates as a longwall mine under a process that allows for greater

Lawmakers urge agency to build campus in Illinois

MASCOUTAH – Members of Illinois’ congressional delegation are appealing to the head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in support of Scott Air Force Base’s bid to host its new facility.

This week, U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk and other Illinois congressmen wrote a letter to NGA Director Robert Cardillo, urging him to select a 182-acre site in St. Clair County as the location of the agency’s new $1.6 billion campus.

The two-page letter was meant to show there’s “unified support for the proposal from the bipartisan group representing communities across Illinois,” according to a news release issued Wednesday by Durbin’s office.

On Wednesday morning, Cardillo visited in Washington, D.C., with U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, U.S. Rep. John Shimkus and representatives from the offices of Gov. Bruce Rauner and U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

Man wins lawsuit alleging Chicago police rigged lineup

CHICAGO – A Chicago man won a $1 million verdict this week in a lawsuit that accused police of rigging a photo lineup to ensure he would be wrongly identified as an armed robbery suspect.

Jermaine Durdin was 18 when he was charged in the 2010 robbery of several hundred dollars from an ice cream truck in the Lawndale neighborhood on the city’s West Side. He spent nearly two years awaiting trial in the Cook County Jail before he was found not guilty – an experience he said in court this week deeply affected him and left a “stain” on his brain.

His story added to the cases of alleged police misconduct against black residents that are roiling the city and the Chicago Police Department, which is under a federal civil rights investigation.

Investigators are looking for any suspicious activity in the area in the hours and days before the killings in video footage downloaded from surveillance cameras on city buses that pass by, and from other homes’ security systems, said Guglielmi.

Investigators met with Mexican authorities at the Chicago consulate this week, he said, and requested assistance as they seek to speak with other extended family members in Mexico.

Miranda told The Associated Press that Mexicans have followed news of the killings closely and that the consulate has taken a special interest in the case.

The father, Manuel Armando Cruz, was granted a U.S. humanitarian visa to fly to Chicago.

Both governments are helping with paperwork to send all six bodies to Mexico, Miranda said. Three adults will be buried in Guanajuato. The mother is from Guanajuato, but will be buried with her children in Morelos.

Said Miranda: “The family decided to keep the kids and the mother together.”

Vandetta Redwood, 34, appeared in federal court Thursday, where she pleaded not guilty and a judge ordered her held without bond.

Redwood is charged with transferring a firearm to a juvenile while knowing that teen intended to use it in a violent crime, and possession of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school zone.

Jury sides with Illinois man in excessive force lawsuit

BENTON – Jurors in southern Illinois have found in a federal civil lawsuit that an Olney man was the victim of excessive force when law enforcement officers stopped him near Benton in April 2012.

The jury verdict comes after a four-day trial at the federal courthouse in East St. Louis. It includes more than $32,000 in compensatory and punitive damages for 35-year-old Isaac Capps, who initially sought a $3.6 million settlement, the Southern Illinoisan reported.

Named as defendants in the case are three Illinois State Police troopers, two Franklin County deputies and a West Frankfort police officer.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Diplomats seek temporary over the government’s control of vast expanses of Western land.

Syria truce in a week

MUNICH – Diplomats trying to secure a ceasefire for the civil war in Syria fell short early Friday in organizing a truce but agreed to try to work out details and implement a temporary “cessation of hostilities” in a week’s time. The deal appeared to be the result of a compromise between the U.S., which had wanted an immediate ceasefire, and Russia, which had proposed one to start on March 1.

Although foreign ministers from the International Syria Support Group managed to seal an agreement to “accelerate and expand” deliveries of humanitarian aid to besieged Syrian communities beginning this week, their failure to agree on a ceasefire leaves the most critical step to resuming peace talks unresolved. It was not clear from their comments afterward if deep differences regarding the truce and which groups would be eligible for it could be overcome.

Federal authorities in six states also arrested seven other people accused of being involved in the occupation and brought charges against a leader of the movement who organized a 2014 standoff.

Two more suspects remained at large.

The last occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge gave up without incident a day after federal agents surrounded the site.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (left) argues a point as Hillary Clinton listens Thursday during a Democratic presidential primary debate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Clinton, Sanders clash over minorities, Obama The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders battled for the crucial backing of black and Hispanic voters in Thursday night’s Democratic debate and clashed heatedly over their support for President Barack Obama as the presidential race shifted toward states with more minority voters.

Clinton, who has cast herself as the rightful heir to Obama’s legacy, accused Sanders of diminishing the president’s record and short-changing his leadership.

“The kind of criticism I hear from Sen. Sanders, I expect from Republicans. I do not expect it from someone seeking the Democratic nomination,” Clinton said in a sharp exchange at the close of the two-hour debate in Milwaukee. Her biting comments followed an interview in which Sanders suggested Obama hadn’t succeeded in closing the gap between Congress and the American people – something Obama himself has acknowledged.

Sanders responded sharply: “Madam Secretary, that is a low blow.” And he noted that Clinton was the only one on the stage who ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

After splitting this year’s first two states with Sanders, Clinton also renewed her assertion that her unexpectedly strong rival was energizing voters with promises “that cannot be kept.”

Seeking to boost his own support with mi-

norities, Sanders peppered his typically economic-focused rhetoric with calls to reform a “broken criminal justice system.”

“At the end of my first term, we will not have more people in jail than any other country,” he said.

In one of many moments of agreement between the candidates, Clinton concurred on a need to address a criminal justice system that incarcerates a disproportionate number of minorities. But she cast her proposals for fighting racial inequality as broader than his.

“We’re going to emphasize education, jobs and housing,” said Clinton, who was endorsed earlier in the day by the political action committee of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Long viewed as the overwhelming front-runner in the Democratic race, Clinton has been caught off guard by Sanders’ strength, particularly his visceral connection with Americans frustrated by the current political and economic systems. Clinton’s own campaign message has looked muddled compared to his ringing call for a “political revolution,” and her connections to Wall Street have given Sanders an easy way to link her to the systems his supporters want to overhaul.

Seeking to stem Sanders’ momentum, Clinton’s campaign has argued that his appeal is limited to the white, liberal voters who make up the Democratic electorate in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Congress OKs ban on local Internet tax

By ALAN FRAM

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress voted Thursday to permanently bar state and local governments from taxing access to the Internet, as lawmakers leapt at an election-year chance to demonstrate their opposition to imposing levies on online service.

On a vote of 75-20, the Senate gave final congressional approval to the wide-ranging bill, which would also revamp trade laws. The White House said President Barack Obama will sign it.

“The Internet is a resource used daily by Americans of all ages,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who brokered an agreement with a Democratic leader earlier this week that helped clear the way for passage. “It’s important that they be able to do all of this without the worry of their Internet access being taxed.”

The ban on local Internet access taxes had broad support. Even so, some lawmakers remained unhappy over its trade provisions and because the measure omitted a separate, more controversial proposal to let states force online retailers to collect sales taxes for their transactions.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid,

D-Nev., said the bill was full of “missed opportunities and half-measures.”

Since 1998 in the Internet’s early days, Congress has passed a series of bills temporarily prohibiting state and local governments from imposing the types of monthly levies for online access that are common for telephone service. Such legislation has been inspired by a popular sentiment that the Internet should be free, along with Republican opposition to most tax proposals.

Until now, states that Mitch imposed Internet access McConnell taxes have been allowed to continue. Under the approved bill, those states would have to phase out their taxes by the summer of 2020.

Seven states – Hawaii, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin – have been collecting a combined $563 million yearly from Internet access taxes, according to information gathered by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

Forty-nine Republican and 26 Democratic senators backed the legislation Thursday while 17 Democrats and three Republicans voted “no.”

The House approved the compro-

mise in December with the backing of nearly all Republicans but just 24 Democrats.

Although Obama planned to sign the bill, the White House took issue with a provision opposing the “boycott, divestment and sanctions” movement against Israel that uses the phrase “Israeli-controlled territories.” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the provision contradicts U.S. policy toward Israeli settlements. U.S. policy considers Israeli settlements in the disputed West Bank to be illegitimate.

“As with any bipartisan compromise legislation, there are provisions in this bill that we do not support,” Earnest said.

The legislation, especially its trade provisions, has pitted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups supporting the bill against opponents including the AFL-CIO and other labor organizations.

Supporters say the measure would strengthen U.S. trading by improving protections for American intellectual property such as copyrights and trademarks and upgrading trade law enforcement at the country’s borders.

They also cite provisions reinforcing the government’s ability to head off China and other countries from

manipulating their currency to make their exports more affordable, cracking down on imported products made with child labor and accelerating investigations into companies accused of evading the payment of duties.

Democratic critics complained that its trade protections were insufficient and said negotiators who wrote the compromise weakened it significantly, including the currency manipulation language.

Democrats also disliked provisions barring trade agreements that would curb some efforts to restrict greenhouse gas emissions, a major contributor to climate change, or would force the U.S. to revamp its immigration laws.

For years, the drive in Congress to permanently bar taxes on Internet service has languished alongside another effort to empower states to require online retailers to collect state and local sales taxes for online purchases.

Supporters of enhancing the collection of online sales taxes say without that, brick-and-mortar stores face a competitive disadvantage.

In hopes of gaining leverage, senators backing the collection of online state sales taxes have long linked the two efforts.

“Ayyy, my son is on the list!”

63-year-old Maria Guadalupe Ramirez screamed when she saw the name of her son, Jose Guadalupe Ramirez Quintero, 26, before collapsing into the arms of a daughter and human rights workers.

Ramirez’s grief echoed the concerns of others whose loved ones were tossed into Topo Chico along with some of Mexico’s most hardened criminals, de-

“He had already gotten out. They picked him up again just for drinking. ... There is injustice in this prison,” she said, shaking her fists and sobbing.

The fighting began around midnight with prisoners setting fire to a storage area, sending flames and smoke billowing into the sky. Rescue workers were seen carrying injured inmates – some with burns – from the facility.

Rodriguez said the clash was between two factions led by a member of the infamous Zetas drug cartel, Juan Pedro Zaldivar Farias, also known as “Z-27,” and Jorge Ivan Hernandez Cantu, who has been identified by Mexican media as a Gulf cartel figure.

A turf war between the gangs bloodied Nuevo Leon state and neighboring Tamaulipas between 2010 and 2012. The Zetas once nearly controlled the area around Monterrey.

MONTERREY, Mexico – A brawl between rival drug gangs at an overcrowded penitentiary in northern Mexico turned into a riot Thursday, leaving 49 inmates dead and 12 injured in the country’s deadliest prison melee in years.

No escapes were reported in the clash at the Topo Chico prison in Monterrey, said Nuevo Leon state Gov. Jaime Rodriguez. The riot took place on the eve of Pope Francis’ arrival in Mexico, a visit that is scheduled to include a trip next week to another prison in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.

Rodriguez said in the morning that 52 people had died, but he lowered that by three in the late afternoon. The reason for the changed death toll was not clear.

At a news conference, the governor read a list of 40 names of confirmed victims, saying five of the remaining bodies had been charred by fire and four were yet to be positively identified. One of the injured was in grave condition.

Terrified relatives gathered at the prison gates, where officials posted the names of the dead as they became

OUR VIEW

Cooperation is needed for consolidation

While Illinois has a host of problems that lead to higher property taxes, the volume of local taxing bodies is unquestionably one of the factors.

While it’s been said many times, it bears repeating: Illinois has around 7,000 units of local government – by far more than any other state.

Those units have government functions, elected leaders, paid employees and a tax rate someone finds on his property tax bill.

Most residents in these communities have no idea what some of these taxing districts are or who is a part of them. Officials in some of these districts generally run in uncontested elections or are appointed to fill vacancies.

That doesn’t mean these individuals don’t mean well. This isn’t about intentions. It’s about efficiency. It’s about accountability, and there isn’t any.

The bulk of these government entities have real functions and real employees who perform real work, but there is a way to consolidate these services. When government officials say there is no way, they are not trying or not telling the truth and often are protecting their own interests.

It’s going to take residents to disassemble the dozens of government fiefdoms in McHenry County and other counties around Illinois. Don’t expect government officials to take these tasks upon themselves. It’s akin to expecting a private enterprise to shutter itself for the greater good.

That’s why we support Gov. Bruce Rauner’s government consolidation proposals unveiled last week, which were based on the final report from the Task Force on Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates chaired by Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti.

The best of four bills proposed allows for citizen referendums to force the consolidation of “duplicative, excessive or unnecessary” units of government. It will be interesting to see how those terms are defined, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Another bill seeks to remove barriers to township consolidation that some McHenry County Board members said they faced when considering placing a proposal for consolidation on a ballot.

Opponents said township consolidation under current terms would increase tax rates for some.

What’s clear is that it’s going to take the cooperation of the state and residents to unravel the unnecessary layers of local government. Without some legal changes and a citizenry rising up and taking action for themselves, we’d expect little to change.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

No fiscal responsibility in Obama budget When President Barack Obama submitted his proposed budget one year ago, he claimed he wanted to do away with the “mindless austerity” of the sequestration, which had provided some measure of limitation on government spending.

Then in December, aided and abetted by a Republican-controlled Congress, he eradicated those minor restrictions and replaced mindless austerity with clueless profligacy.

Now he puts forth a budget for fiscal 2017, which begins Oct. 1, that calls for $4.15 trillion in spending, a $223 billion increase over the current year’s budget.

His proposal, curiously released while all eyes are focused on the New Hampshire primary, spans more than 2,300 pages, which, in itself, serves as a testament to the federal government’s bloat and overreach.

The president’s budget contains $3 trillion in proposed tax increases over the next 10 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

The most controversial of these is a $10.25-per-barrel oil tax, which would be used Barack to fund “clean” transit projects Obama and low-carbon technologies, such a self-driving cars, which the private sector already is developing rapidly.

With oil prices hovering around $30 a barrel, that is a roughly 35 percent tax, which experts project would translate to a price hike of about 25 cents per gallon at the pump. Fortunately, this is a nonstarter for congressional Republicans.

The president’s budget mes-

sage reads like his State of the Union addresses, espousing his wish list, from “green energy” subsidies to universal preschool to high-speed rail and increased transit funding to $4 billion for a K-12 computer science program to two years of “free” community college to apprenticeship programs to “encouraging” state paid leave policies – none of which is the province of federal, state and local governments.

President Obama’s budget would, once again, expand government control over our lives and further burden current and future generations with debt. It is understandable that a lame-duck president with a somewhat hostile Congress would advance a budget sprinkled with fairy dust, but Mr. Obama’s proposal should not be taken seriously with regard to fiscal responsibility.

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

Digging into McHenry Township

To the Editor: Before I blindly accepted the charge that the McHenry Township government was operating like a private club, I asked for some examples of actions it took that would support that charge. I learned some things in the process.

There are two township taxing bodies that show up on our real estate tax bills – one for the general town fund for public aid, assessing and other township services, and one for the township road district.

Between the two taxing bodies there are eight elected officials. They are the township supervisor, township clerk, assessor, four township trustees and a highway commissioner. At the present time, one trustee position is vacant and soon to be filled by an appointee, another trustee was appointed, the clerk was appointed, the supervisor was appointed, and the highway commissioner was appointed.

Only three of the eight township positions are filled by elected officials.

Three of eight. Less than one half. On the surface that seems wrong. I’m going to keep probing and try to learn more about that.

I’m also not blindly accepting what I hear about the township finances.

I’m going to get educated about those finances. Like a lot of people, I’m long past due to get involved in some of my local politics.

I appreciate having this letter-to-the-editor feature available to have some dialog other than social media. Thank you.

Kenneally right for the job

To the Editor: Patrick Kenneally is the right person to be the next state’s attorney for McHenry County.

I first met Pat in 2007, when he joined the state’s attorney’s office. Our first case was a routine motion to dismiss.

Pat’s response was extremely well written and researched. His argument and presentation to the court were even better. I knew then Pat was a force to be reckoned with.

Over the past nine years, I have had the pleasure to try a dozen felony and misdemeanor cases against Pat. He is a consummate professional. I have witnessed Pat conduct some of the best cross-examinations and closing arguments I have ever heard. During Pat’s time prosecuting domestic violence cases, Pat singularly changed the way McHenry County prosecutes victimless domestic battery cases.

Pat is well respected by judges and his peers. Pat embodies the prosecutorial mantra of “justice tempered with mercy.”

All about the money

To the Editor: We are now up to 61 times the Republican-controlled Congress has attempted to repeal federalized Romney Care and failed.

For 61 times, the Republicans have failed to even suggest a replacement to the Affordable Care Act. Republicans have done nothing to address the fact health care costs are the No. 1 cause of personal bankruptcy in this country.

Republicans have failed to even talk about why American health care ranks in the 19th percentile in the world in terms of longevity, yet we lead the world with 17 percent of GDP spent on health care.

The next closest industrialized nation pays about 12 percent on health care in terms of GDP – for which they achieve more than two years longer life span.

No one even questions whether a 40 percent profit for an inferior health care system is a reasonable profit or is only price gouging.

Recent evidence demonstrates lack of health care insurance causes some 45,000 to 48,000 unnecessary deaths every year in the U.S. For the Republicans, it is only about the money.

As McHenry County Board chairman, Joe Gottemoller has set a new standard for sensible, stable, collaborative and responsible leadership of county government.

He is a visionary leader and dedicated representative of all of the people of McHenry County. The beneficiaries of his talents and service are the taxpayers, the people who pay the bills and have a right to expect their elected representatives to work cooperatively to meet their obligations and utilize the peoples’ resources efficiently.

We are fortunate to have an individual of Joe Gottemoller’s integrity and strength of character as our current County Board chairman. I urge voters to support him in the first countywide election for chairman of the McHenry County Board.

Ignoring their jobs

To the Editor: There has been a lot of discussion about presidential candidate positions.

Is Hillary Clinton really “Madam Secretary?” John Kerry is the secretary of state.

Is Bernie Sanders really a senator? Why is he not in the state that elected him?

Taxpayers are paying him.

Chris Christie is a governor. Is he doing what his state is paying him to do?

Other candidates are holding positions being financed by taxpayers to do what they were elected to do, but they are campaigning outside their state?

I really hope all these potential voters are paying attention to how their elected officials have the luxury of not doing their jobs to seek future adoration and wealth.

To the Editor: I have known Nancy Gonsiorek professionally and personally for 10 years, and I fully support her candidacy for the McHenry County Board.

I first met Nancy at a seminar at McHenry County College, where Nancy gave an enthusiastic and knowledgeable presentation on accounting changes for nonprofit agencies.

I was so impressed with her expertise that I hired her to conduct the annual audit of the Light Center Foundation.

During a portion of those years, I also served on the Marengo school district board while Nancy served on the Crystal Lake school board. Together, we found many shared interests, as well as mutual concerns for the educational systems and the county as a whole.

I have found Nancy to be informed, community minded, fiscally responsible, reasonable, dedicated and forward thinking. I could not think of anyone more suited to serve the citizens of McHenry County than Nancy Gonsiorek.

Fantasy sports companies defend embattled industry

By PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press

BOSTON – Daily fantasy sports companies say their industry remains viable despite a rocky start to 2016.

The industry’s top companies, DraftKings and FanDuel, are on the defensive after taking hits to their businesses in recent weeks as scrutiny by state policymakers across the country continues to intensify.

This week, it was disclosed that ESPN and DraftKings ended an exclusive advertising deal and FanDuel confirmed Wednesday it had laid off 55 workers in its Orlando, Florida, office.

ESPN and DraftKings declined to comment on the end of their partnership, which was announced last June and made DraftKings the network’s official daily fantasy sports offering. But DraftKings spokeswoman Sabrina Macias said the company isn’t retrenching.

“Our business position is strong, and we have no intention to scale back any operations,” she said, pointing to the company’s launch in the United Kingdom last week. “We’re continuing to innovate and learn.”

FanDuel, meanwhile, said the layoffs are concentrated in its research and development division, which is being shuttered. The job cuts do not affect the rest of the Florida office, which includes an expanding customer service operation, the company said.

FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles, in a brief call with The Associated Press, said the company, which has over 400 employees, is focused on making progress on the legislative front.

“What you’re seeing is an industry that’s very quickly going from an unregulated state to a regulated state,” he said. “Whenever you have that, there’s going to be turmoil.”

Macias, of DraftKings, which has more than 350 workers, also downplayed the recent

“A couple of setbacks here and there do not necessarily reflect the larger picture,” she said.

Fantasy sports sites have said their contests aren’t gambling because a player’s skill level is more of a factor than chance in determining success, but some states have declared them gambling games and either banned them outright or required operators to get gambling licenses.

Roughly 19 states are considering bills to regulate the industry, in which players pay to compete online for cash prizes by picking teams of real life athletes and racking up “fantasy” points based on how they perform. Another 14 states are expected to weigh legislation

before the year is over, she said. Of those with bills in play, California, Indiana and Virginia have seen proposals clear at least one chamber of their legislature. Bills also have advanced in the legislative committee process in Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

Some industry watchers said this week’s developments may point to a slow unraveling of the daily fantasy sports genre.

“In some respects, this seems like death by a thousand cuts,” Daniel Wallach, a Florida lawyer who specializes in gambling and sports law.

Media conglomerate 21st Century Fox said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday it was marking down the value of its $160 million investment in DraftKings by about 60 percent.

Last month, Vantiv, a pay-

ment processing company, said it would stop serving daily fantasy sports companies by the end of this month.

And banking giants Citigroup and Bank of America are blocking their New York customers from playing the contests because the attorney general in that state is seeking to shut down the industry.

An industry-wide implosion isn’t imminent, but daily fantasy sports companies have to change the way they operate, said Jeffrey Ifrah, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who represents about a dozen daily fantasy sports companies smaller than DraftKings and FanDuel.

“The additional regulation and cost of regulatory compliance likely means the end of significant advertising and it may mean a reduction in future private investment in the industry,” he said.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Morgan Stanley will pay $3.2 billion in a settlement over bank practices that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis, including misrepresentations about the value of mortgage-backed securities, authorities announced Thursday.

The nationwide settlement, negotiated by the working group appointed by President Barack Obama in 2012, said the bank acknowledged it increased the acceptable risk levels for mortgage loans pooled and sold to investors

without telling them. Loans with material defects were included, packaged into the securities and sold.

Morgan Stanley said it previously reserved funds for all related amounts. The bank acknowledged an agreement in principle for the federal settlement of $2.6 billion in a regulatory filing a year ago.

“We are pleased to have finalized these settlements involving legacy residential mortgage-backed securities matters,” spokesman Mark Lake said Thursday.

The Justice Department said the $2.6 billion federal penalty to resolve claims

about the bank’s marketing, sale and issuance of those securities is the largest piece of settlements with the working group that have totaled approximately $5 billion. Illinois will get $22.5 million in the settlements announced Thursday.

“Our work is far from over,” said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who co-chairs the group.

“Communities across the country have not gotten back to where they were before the crash.”

Total settlements so far are about $64 billion, Schneiderman said. The working group

previously reached major settlements with Citigroup for $7 billion, JPMorgan for $13 billion and Bank of America for $16.65 billion.

For New York state, the Thursday’s settlement includes $400 million of mortgage reductions and other consumer and community relief, as well as $150 million in cash. The $400 million will go toward the creation and preservation of affordable rental housing, land banks, code enforcement, communities purchasing distressed properties and principal reductions for homeowners, according to the attorney general’s office.

Taylor Swift to kick off the Grammys with performance

AP file photo

Harrison Ford arrives at a “Star Wars” fan event Dec. 10 in Sydney. British health authorities said on Thursday that criminal charges have been laid against producers of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” over an on-set accident in which Ford broke his leg.

‘Star Wars’ producers charged over Harrison Ford accident LONDON – British health authorities announced Thursday they have issued criminal charges against the producers of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” over an on-set accident in which Harrison Ford broke his leg.

The actor was struck by a hydraulic door on the set of the Millennium Falcon – his character Han Solo’s spaceship – at Pinewood Studios near London in June 2014. He was airlifted to a hospital where he underwent surgery.

Production on the film was suspended for two weeks after the injury to Ford, who was 71 at the time.

The Health and Safety Executive said Thursday it had charged Foodles Production Ltd. – a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Co. – with four breaches of workplace health and safety laws.

It said “by law, employers must take reasonable steps to protect workers – this is as true on a film set as a factory floor.”

Foodles Production said the safety of cast and crew was “a top priority” and it was disappointed by the decision to prosecute.

The first court hearing is scheduled for May at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court, near the studio.

“The Force Awakens” is the seventh installment in the space saga and has taken more than $2 billion at the worldwide box office since its release two months ago.

Filming is underway on episode eight, directed by Rian Johnson and due for release late next year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Taylor Swift will open the 58th annual Grammy Awards with a performance from her nominated album, “1989,” while Alabama Shakes, Miguel and 12-year-old jazz pianist Joey Alexander also will perform.

The Recording Academy on Thursday announced the final round of performers for Monday’s awards show in Los Angeles. LL Cool J is hosting the Grammys, which will be aired live at 7 p.m. on CBS. Swift is one of the year’s top nominees with seven nominations, including album of the year, record of the year and song of the year.

She previously performed “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” at the beginning of the Grammy Awards show in 2013.

Previously announced performers include Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Rihanna, The Weeknd and the Broadway cast of “Hamilton.”

Woodstock anniversary concert in the works

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – One of the organizers of the original 1969 Woodstock music festival said talks are underway to stage a 50th anniversary concert.

Michael Lang told the Poughkeepsie Journal that discussions have started with potential partners and the idea of staging anniversary concerts at different locations in 2019 is being explored.

The original Woodstock was held Aug. 15 to 18, 1969, in rural Bethel in Sullivan County, New York. Lang was the promoter of the seminal ’60s event that drew 400,000 rock music fans to Max Yasgur’s farm.

Watanabe due to return to Odom makes appearance at ‘The King and I’ on March 17 Kanye West fashion show NEW YORK – Ken Watanabe will return

NEW YORK – Lamar Odom made his public return at brother-in-law Kanye West’s New York Fashion Week show on Thursday.

Odom’s appearance marked the first time he’d attended a public event since he was hospitalized in critical condition in Las Vegas in October 2015 after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel with cocaine in his system. Odom, who is estranged from Khloe Kardashian, had been moved from a Los An-

to his royal robes on Broadway in “The King and I” starting March 17 after he recovers from stomach cancer treatment.

Lincoln Center Theater said Thursday that the Tony- and Oscar-nominated actor will take over the role from Hoon Lee. Watanabe, the 56-year-old Japanese actor, made his American stage debut last year, earning a Tony nod opposite Kelli O’Hara in the revival of “The King and I.”

Stalking defendant wants Paltrow to forgive him

LOS ANGELES – A man charged with stalking Gwyneth Paltrow told jurors Thursday that he kept writing to the actress in recent years because he wanted her forgiveness for sending her pornographic messages nearly 17 years ago.

Dante Soiu was one of the final witnesses at his four-day trial focusing on packages and letters – some of which expressed his desire to marry Paltrow – sent in 2014 and 2015.

Soiu, 66, testified that he never intended to scare Paltrow or physically harm her.

“I have no desire to hurt her feelings,” Soiu said. “I have no desire to harass her.”

A prosecutor, however, urged jurors to disregard his statements and instead view Soiu as a calculating, crazy stalker who would never stop harassing Paltrow.

“It’s a compulsion and an obsession to insert himself into her life,” Deputy District Attorney Wendy Segall said in closing arguments.

BOSTON – A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled Thursday that Bill Cosby’s wife must give a deposition in a defamation lawsuit against the comedian, but said she can refuse to answer questions about private marital conversations.

In the lawsuit, seven women claim Cosby defamed them by branding them as liars after they went public with accusations that he sexually assaulted them decades ago. A lawyer for the women has sought to compel Camille Cosby to give a deposition. Last month, a magistrate judge rejected Cosby’s bid to quash the deposition subpoena.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Mark Mastroianni upheld the magistrate’s ruling, but said Camille Cosby may refuse to answer questions that call for testimony prohibited by the Massachusetts marital disqualification rule. The rule generally prohibits spouses from testifying about private marital conversations.

The women’s lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, hoped to depose Camille Cosby on Feb. 22, but it was not immediately clear if that date is firm.

Camille Cosby’s lawyers praised the

PARENTING

Crying over spilled water

Drought out west an opportunity for lessons in conservation

By GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – On a recent Saturday afternoon, I submerged my guilt and filled the bathtub halfway for my 3-year-old twins to play in.

It was their first bath in months.

The early childhood rituals of spikyhaired tub photos and endless play in lukewarm bath water are foreign concepts to our two girls, who were born in 2011 at the beginning of an epic drought in California that shows no sign of abating.

I told them this was a treat – an exception to the five-minute shower rule strictly enforced by my husband – and reveled in their delight as they pretended to be mermaids, floated and splashed each other with glee. Then, my husband got home and they ratted me out.

“Daddy! Daddy!” one shouted.

“Mommy says it’s a special day and we can play mermaids, but really she’s just wasting water and killing fish!”

I was about to remind her no one likes a tattle tale, but then I stopped.

After all, isn’t this the moment every parent of a toddler hopes for?

The moment when your child projects beyond him or herself, when they understand their impact on the bigger world around them?

Ever since they could talk, my husband and I had harped, hammered and cajoled them about the consequences of wasting water when there just wasn’t enough to go around. And here it was, the lesson we had tried so hard to teach them sent back to us with surprising clarity and simplicity.

Really, it’s no surprise. Our daughters’ short lives have been shaped by water – or the lack of it – from potty-training to playtime to daily routines like brushing teeth.

They take great delight in yelling at us when we don’t let yellow mellow (they ALWAYS do) or when we dump a half-consumed glass of drinking water down the drain.

After weeks spent trying to get my other daughter to turn off the faucet while brushing her teeth, I caught her one morning wiping a huge glob of neon-pink toothpaste off her brush with a tiny square of toilet paper.

When I chided her, she looked at me like I was crazy and said, “But Mommy, I don’t want to waste water. I don’t want Gov. Brown to yell at me!”

Cute quotes aside, California’s water shortage is tangible to them. They don’t have “water play” Fridays at preschool anymore. We let the pansies and geraniums we planted together last spring wither and die. And we wash our cars so rarely they were terrified when we drove through a car wash for the first time.

Of course, the drought’s impact on our daughters’ lives is inconsequential compared to California farmers who are losing a livelihood, the residents who have lost homes due to drought-fueled wildfires or to the millions of children worldwide who don’t have clean drinking water at all.

But that’s one reason that the drought’s impact here, superficial as it may seem, is critical to teaching a life lesson: The way you live touches the world.

Our water discussions about the drought have spawned conversations about waste of all sorts, from using too much toilet paper (another favorite toddler topic) to how plants grow to where our food comes from. We aren’t preachy or ascetic. We’re just matterof-fact – because they likely will grow old in a world that’s much hotter and

much more crowded, where people compete for resources we now take for granted.

I grew up in an old farmhouse in central New York that had only a well for household use. I remember as a child sometimes going to the locker rooms at the school where my mother taught to take showers toward the end of the summer, when the well ran dry,

and filling gallon milk jugs to take home to flush toilets and brush teeth.

To this day, leaky faucets and running water get under my skin. I can’t rest until the tap is off.

I don’t know that our daughters will inherit such a mental tick. But I do hope that, as adults, they will remember being mermaids in a world that was much bigger than them.

country’s gross domestic product and found it equivalent to the cumulative value of their pension fund since oil was discovered off the coast of Norway in the late 1960s. This is no small sum – the Norwegian oil fund is the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, valued today at more than $800 billion.

This modern take on home economics means most mothers in Norway are working full time. While this may mean homemade birthday cakes suffer, the end result is a more productive society. For a small country such as Norway, the participation of women in the labor force is essential.

But larger countries such as the U.S. should take note about women’s contributions to the economy.

As an American expat who had my first baby in France and my second in Norway, I am somewhat of a parental leave connoisseur. Despite having to dig through multiple layers of wool clothing to find my baby sleeping

cozily in his stroller in the snow, Norway is doing something right when it comes to parental leave.

In Norway, parents are entitled to 46 weeks at full salary, or 56 weeks at 80 percent pay. In France, I had four months of paid maternity leave, plus an additional paid month for breastfeeding. Both Norway and France also offer highly subsidized early child care.

Had I stayed at my federal government job in Washington, D.C., I would have had zero paid maternity leave.

I would have had to apply for “disability” pay – capped at four weeks, and unpaid. What incentive did this provide for me to start my family in my mother country?

A report on the State of the World’s Mothers notes the U.S. has the “least generous maternity leave policy of any wealthy nation.” American women are resigning in numbers that far outpace men, in part for reasons of

motherhood. Where is the best place to be a mother? Not the U.S. Paternity leave has created a culture for Norwegian fathers to be more active parents than just secondary caregivers. After our first child was born in France, my husband took his two-week paternity leave but felt cheated while his friends in Norway were taking three and a half months of paid leave (far more than many mothers can take in the U.S.).

As social acceptance of paternal leave is growing, the job market is viewing mothers and fathers more equally. In fact, Norway has the second highest ratio of female-to-male earned income, closing the gap on the “motherhood penalty.”

Being of a certain age when I was interviewing for jobs in Norway, one male interviewer asked me if I was thinking of having any more children.

My politically incorrect warning signal sounded in my head. This question can be so thoroughly illegal in the U.S. I was stunned into silence. The interviewer quickly followed with an explanation of the benefits for parents that came with the job. Selling me on the job’s generous parental leave and flexible working hours – this is modern home economics.

By Diane Krieger Spivak Spring is just around the corner, and wedding season is coming into full swing.

Whether you’re looking to celebrate a wedding proposal, an anniversary, or the biggest day of your life - your wedding - 31 North Banquets & Catering has everything you need to make your day unforgettable.

“We can cater to another venue or to a home, and we also have a beautiful facility that accommodates up to 200 guests,” said owner Bernice Zubrzycki. 31 North specializes in engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, after-wedding brunches, weddings, and anniversaries.

“Our couples love the boutique feel of our venue because we host only one wedding at a time,” Zubrzycki said. “Our focus is on the bride and groom, family and friends. The entire venue is theirs and they do not have

to worry about being interrupted by any other events going on.”

At 31 North guests prefer primarily dinner receptions, but Saturday and Sunday brunch weddings are gaining in popularity, according to Zubrzycki.

“We can do a simple drop off or a full service,” she explained. “We set up china, linen, flowers. We do as much or as little as our guests would like. If they want to do the setup themselves, that’s fine. If they want us to do it, we will.”

Upon your initial appointment, you will meet with one of 31 North’s expert event coordinators who will guide you through every step of your special event.

“Our event coordinators work with our guest from start to finish and help them with the planning process,” Zubrzycki said. In fact, Zubrzycki said, the entire staff, which also includes servers, kitchen staff and bartenders, all focus on ensuring the evening is memorable for years to come.

An army, 40 strollers strong, grinds through the Norwegian forest.

This is a 5-mile stroller hike led by a yellow-vested guide, part of a weekly series organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association.

Enjoying nature with a sleeping babe wrapped in wool feels like a luxury. But the ultimate luxury is not having to worry about when I will go back to work, or who will take care of the baby: he will be home with either me or his papa until he is over 1 year old. And all the while our monthly salary will be deposited into our bank account.

But is the Scandinavian model of ample paid parental leave too generous? The numbers say no, there is actually a benefit to the economy.

Norway is a mastermind on the real implications of home economics.

What the government subsidizes in parental leave and early child care is more than offset by the increase in GDP created by mothers staying in the workforce.

Norway’s Ministry of Finance recently valued the contribution of additional working mothers to the

appears you have married a woman who is insecure.

Your children’s reasons for wanting to stay at their mother’s during the week seem valid.

You didn’t mention how long you and wife No. 2 have been married, but if it’s a brand-new marriage, point out during

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips school breaks and summer vacation she will have the midweek time to bond with your children that she’s craving.

Dear Abby: My employer hosted a professional development workshop on workplace etiquette and conduct related to gender and personal identity. The facilitator told us to make sure we always use the gender pronoun preferred by the person we are talking to or about. But she didn’t give any guidance about how to know what those pronouns are if it’s not clear from someone’s outward appearance. Additionally, I have learned I’m not very good at guessing.

Is there a polite way to ask someone if they prefer to be called he or she? What about people who don’t use either? It seems as if there’s a lot of opportunity to offend someone. I’d hate to upset anyone by using the wrong pronoun, but I also don’t want to admit to the person I can’t tell if he or she is a man or woman.

It’s like walking in a minefield. – What’s Right?

Dear What’s Right: This is such new territory, it might take a while for the general public to adjust.

However, the person’s name should be a clue about which gender he or she identifies with. While I wouldn’t recommend asking what gender the person is, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to use the word “they” when speaking about the person because that pronoun is being used more in the singular.

Soup to Nutz

Dear Abby: I am a divorced father who recently has remarried. I have parenting time with my children one weeknight and every other weekend.

My children have told me during the week they prefer doing their homework at their mother’s home. They say by the time I pick them up, prepare dinner and they start their homework, it’s already time to return to their mother’s. They are at ages where homework assignments can take several hours.

My ex is OK with me spending time with them at her home. She uses the time to run errands and do other things she might not have time for during the week. When there’s no school, I bring the kids to our house. All weekend parenting time takes place at my home.

The problem is, my current wife can’t stand that I spend time with my children at my ex’s home. She doesn’t understand why I won’t bring them here. I feel there’s ample opportunity on the weekends for my kids to be at our house and for her to build a relationship with them.

Academics are crucial at this point in their lives.

So – do I disrupt their homework to accommodate my wife? Or should I continue the arrangement my kids, my former wife and I have established? – Parent-

Social phobia can be overcome Dear Dr. K: I’ve always thought of myself as shy. But my partner thinks I might have social phobia. Could he be right?

Dear Reader: “Social phobia” goes well beyond shyness. People with social phobia feel a constant and powerful discomfort, self-consciousness and fear of humiliation in ordinary social situations. They feel as though all eyes are turned on them. Social phobia often leads people to avoid parties and other gatherings.

Most people don’t think twice about mingling with new acquaintances. But people with social phobia can have disturbing symptoms.

They may blush, sweat, tremble, feel nauseated and have difficulty talking. Being part of a social gathering may trigger a panic attack.

During panic attacks, people have shortness of breath, sweating, rapid heartbeat, chest pain or a smothering sensation.

If you think you might have social phobia, answer the following questions. If you answer yes to three or more, you might have social phobia. If so, talk to your doctor about your concerns.

• Do you avoid certain situations because you are afraid you’ll embarrass yourself?

• Do you sometimes panic in unfamiliar social situations?

• Do you avoid social situations whenever possible?

• When you can’t avoid social situations, do they cause significant distress or anxiety?

• Does your distress or fear of social gatherings interfere significantly with your work? Relationships with friends and family?

Normal routines?

If you do have social phobia, a doctor probably will recommend medication plus therapy.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a type of antidepressant, usually are tried first. They often are prescribed with a

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff benzodiazepine (medications used to treat anxiety).

These medicines usually are combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Two forms of CBT are especially beneficial: anxiety management training and cognitive restructuring.

Anxiety management teaches relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, to help control anxiety. Cognitive restructuring teaches people how to recognize the thought processes that lead to the phobia. It then teaches how to reframe those thoughts and replace them with more productive thinking. Group CBT and social skills training also can help build confidence in social situations.

I once had a patient with an unusual kind of social phobia. A quiet and studious person, by day he was an accountant. That was how he made a living. But he also was musically gifted and had a good voice. Sometimes in the evenings, he would play guitar and sing folk music at local clubs. Immediately after each performance, he always dashed out of the club – before people in the audience could find him. That was because he developed severe anxiety symptoms when mingling with other people. When he could perform from a stage and didn’t have to mingle with the audience, he was fine – so long as they liked his performance. And they always did.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Saturday & Sunday 21 Burning Bush Ln. Crystal Lake 9am – 3pm Numbers at 8:30am Harry Vardon, the groundbreaking English golfer, said, “More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.”

If you are about to compete in a bridge tournament or for money, it would be a good idea for you and your partner to practice on a couple of deals just before start time.

It is easy for declarer to be careless near the beginning of this deal.

How should South play in three notrump after West leads a fourth-highest club six to the 10 and jack?

North’s three-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. He was hoping his partner could show three-card heart support. However, when South indicated only a doubleton heart, North signed off in three no-trump.

South starts with eight top tricks: three spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club (at trick one). He can get the extra winner from either red suit -- but which should he attack first?

Most players would realize that taking the heart finesse is too dangerous. If it loses, East will return a club through South’s king and into the jaws of West’s ace-queen. Here, West would take four tricks in that suit to defeat the contract.

Instead, many declarers would play a diamond to dummy’s ace and return a diamond to their king -- and suddenly find that they could no longer make the contract. East would gain the lead in one red suit or the other.

South should take a safety-finesse, covering dummy’s diamond nine with his 10. Here, declarer would end with an overtrick. But even if West could take the trick, the contract would be safe.

Crystal Lake Central’s Savanah Frank hold onto the ball during the third quarter of Thursday’s game against Jacobs in Algonquin. Jacobs defeated Central, 64-34. and fueled Jacobs’ victory.

“It feels great to end our regular season with a win on senior night,” Surges said. “We started to hit shots in the second quarter and gained confidence. We were able to force a lot of turnovers in the first half and at halftime coach told us to keep up the defense, and we could force even more.”

Central (2-23) struggled with the Jacobs zone defense all night, which foreced 29 turnovers. CLC had a stretch from the second to early in the fourth quarter where it made just four baskets.

“We had a nice little run late in the first quarter, but then seemed to pass too much after that,” Tigers coach Paul

Thursday was the final regular-season game for both teams. Jacobs will play against DeKalb at 7 p.m. Monday at the Class 4A Belvidere North Regional, while Central will face Cary-Grove at 7 p.m. Monday at the 4A McHenry Regional.

Lichtenheld said. “Their zone was outstanding all night and we struggled to get shots. If you can’t shoot, you can’t score. I thought we defended well early, but our defense started to fall apart because of our play on offense.”

Jacobs was led by Smith with 14 points and Richman with 12. The Golden Eagles had six players who finished with at least seven points.

ALGONQUIN – The Jacobs girls basketball team was in need of a quality performance with the postseason starting next week, as the Golden Eagles lost four of their past five games by an average of 16 points.

Jacobs got exactly what it needed on senior night Thursday.

“Tonight, we rode the momentum of our seniors,” Jacobs coach Joe Benoit said. “Courtney Mills made a great steal that resulted in a basket, Teaghan (Richman) contributed on both offense and defense, Talia (Surges) showed why she is the definition of a point guard, and Mo (Mahogany Smith) was big in the post all night.”

Jacobs overcame a slow start and used an effective zone defense and a big second quarter to defeat Crystal Lake Central, 65-34, in a nonconference game.

Thursday was all about honoring the four seniors, and it was the play of those seniors that propelled Jacobs to the victory. Surges and Richman combined for 10 quick points in the second quarter – a quarter which the Golden Eagles (10-16) outscored Central, 23-4,

EVENT TO WATCH Fox Valley Conference Championships, 11 a.m. Saturday at Woodstock North Cary-Grove has won the conference meet eight years in a row and will be the favorite again after it won every conference dual this season.

By C.R. Walker Most times, it’s best to simply contact an expert technician about problems with your car, truck or van.

You can speculate all you want about what the problem may be as well as attempt to fix it, but often you’ll find yourself back to square one despite all the time spent researching and then tinkering under the hood.

“We were contacted by the owner of a Pontiac Montana minivan whose fuel gauge was malfunctioning and always reading full,” said Douglas McAllister, owner of Douglas Automotive, with three convenient locations. “He attempted to fix the problem by using a scan tool to measure the signal coming from the fuel sending unit on the fuel pump, but he never fully remedied this issue by himself.”

After spending countless hours in his own garage working on the car, the ill-fated owner ascertained that the sending unit

wasn’t broken since it showed resistance in certain situations. Still, he didn’t have a fix.

He wondered if gasoline additives would clean up the resistance wire that had been corroded, but he wasn’t positive that such would correct the problem. He also ventured to blame Shell gasoline as the chief cause of the malfunction.

“It sounded like he was dealing with a bad sending unit, which is a very common failure item on that particular vehicle,” McAllister said. “Since the vehicle had some miles on it, replacing the fuel pump/ sending unit made a lot of sense.”

As for considering additives or blacklisting Shell, McAllister felt that the van owner got an earful of really bad information.

“There is no additive that will fix this problem and I have not heard of a certain brand of fuel contributing to the failure of a sending unit,” McAllister said. “I use Shell gas personally and have had no problems with it.”

6 OLYMPICS

Woodstock grad Kremske ready for U.S. Olympic Trials marathon

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com To say that Dan Kremske stumbled into marathon running fits the expression, since he more or less accidentally discovered he could thrive at 26.2 miles.

On the other hand, Kremske hardly stumbled at the 2013 Chicago Marathon, the first time he ever had run that distance. He finished in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 50 seconds, which placed him 25th and launched him on a two-year adventure.

That journey takes Kremske, a 2007 Woodstock High School graduate, to Los Angeles for the U.S. Olympic Trials.

The men’s race starts at 12:06 p.m., with the top three finishers qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games this summer in Rio de Janeiro.

Kremske, 26, moved to Eugene, Oregon two years ago to train with Team Run Eugene, coached by former Olympian Ian Dobson. After Kremske’s finish at Chicago, he considered leaving the Chicago area to train Dan Kremske with a running group.

He qualified for the Olympic Trials at the Houston Half Marathon in January 2014.

Kremske has run only three marathons – Chicago each of the past three years – and knows he is a longshot, but wants to enjoy the experience Saturday.

“My training has been really consistent over the last few months,” he said.

“I’m feeling healthy and feeling ready. I would definitely say top 30 or 40 would be an expectation. The thing I want to do is go in there and run a personal-best.

The goal for me is to run to my capabilities. If that happens, I will be happy with it, regardless what place. That’s what I’m looking to do.”

Kremske rarely has taken the traditional route during his career. He played receiver at Woodstock, then ran track in the spring, yet when he went to Illinois as a distance runner for track, he also wound up thriving in cross country.

After college, he continued running and also coached cross country at Wood-

stock North, while working at Centegra Health System. When he first ran the Chicago Marathon, it opened his mind to another race.

“After I graduated from Illinois in 2012, I was completely self-coached,” he said. “I didn’t have any training partner, I was just going at it on my own. To be more competitive on a national level, it took having a coach and training partners and being part of a training group.”

Kremske met Dobson at the 2013 Chicago Marathon and thought about moving to Eugene, which he did several months later. Kremske found part-time work similar to what he did with Centegra at PeaceHealth Medical Group in Eugene. Eventually, he wants to become a physician’s assistant.

“It’s nice that there’s a lot of flexibility in my work schedule,” Kremske said.

“It allows me to balance training and working. And I get experienced hours before I apply to physician’s assistant graduate school.”

Kremske’s past two Chicago Marathon races were not as successful as his first, probably from his inexperience.

He felt like he might have overtrained and went out too fast.

“I’ve learned from those and been able to make those corrections to where I can come in feeling fresh, ready to go and knowing exactly what to expect,” he said. “I’m primed to improve upon that 2:18:50 at least by a couple of minutes.”

Kremske feels the half marathon is his best race, but it’s not in the Olympics. So he will take a break after Saturday’s race, then refocus and try to make the Olympic Trials for the 10,000 meters. The trials are July 1 through 10 in Eugene. He wants to enjoy competitive running, although he realizes his professional career awaits.

“I have passion for racing and running competitively,” Kremske said.

“But there’s a time you have to evaluate where you’re at. It’s just a matter of deciding when to call it a career. It’s probably within the next year or yearand-a-half for when I might be done with competitive running and take the next step in my life. For right now, 2016 being an Olympic year, I’m giving everything I can.”

I am the Greatest Champion of all Time!

Man, Can’t believe Carolina crumbled like a cheap suit.

Cam’s a sore looser!

See ya Next Year!

Joel Quenneville stuck around a little longer in his postgame news conference Thursday after the Blackhawks faceplanted in a 4-2 loss to the Dallas Stars.

He wasn’t much happier. And this time, he had only his players to blame for a loss.

“That was a statement loss,” Quenneville said. “It was a terrible, brutal, brutal first period. … It was like we had Ringette sticks tonight – no blade on our sticks.”

The Hawks were a week removed from a statement victory in Dallas, a 5-1 shellacking that appeared to put the Stars back in their place as a contender to the Hawks’ throne. Stars coach Lindy Ruff said his team was “embarrassed” by that effort and wanted to do something about it. They did, chasing Corey Crawford with a four-goal first period – including a hat trick by low-scoring Patrick Eaves – to move within one point of the first-place Hawks, who have opened their four-game road trip with two straight demoralizing losses. Dallas has three games in hand, too.

“We expected that they were go-

the few Hawks who showed any sign of life in the first two periods – getting a turn on the usually prolific second line.

Quenneville put Kane on Toews’ line in the third, but it was too little, too late.

The lifeless effort dampened an otherwise upbeat atmosphere, as Patrick Sharp made his return to the United Center. Sharp had been back already, but it was a preseason game, and, honestly, nobody cares about preseason games. He had faced his old teammates twice already during the regular season, but that was in Dallas, surrounded by friendly green-clad fans and somebody else’s banners, so it wasn’t quite the same. This was different. This was the big one. And it was his 800th career game, no less.

During the morning skate, Sharp couldn’t help but look up at the rafters, where that 2015 Stanley Cup champions banner hung. It was the first time he’d seen it. Well, the first time he’d seen it in person.

“Yeah, I saw it,” Sharp said. “I watched that whole ceremony the first game of the season. Got me pretty pumped up to play; wish I was part of it.

But you look up at the banners and it’s something to be proud of, and I certainly am of my time here in Chicago.”

Quenneville: NHL admitted refs got it wrong

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Gary Bettman said the NHL’s new coach’s challenge system has been “pretty close” to perfect, and is working “extraordinarily well.”

The Blackhawks beg to differ.

Joel Quenneville said the NHL acknowledged that the officials got it wrong Tuesday night when they overturned a goal by Brandon Mashinter – a decision that sent Quenneville into a rage and proved costly in a 2-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Quenneville said the team spoke with the league to get some clarity on what constitutes goaltender interference after having a goal disallowed twice in one week.

“Did they agree with the call? No,” Quenneville said.

Mashinter appeared to score a goal off his shin pad in the first period Tuesday, but upon review, referees Steve Kozari and Tom Kowal determined Dennis Rasmussen had interfered with Sharks goalie Martin Jones. Rasmussen appeared to have been pushed into Jones at first by a Sharks defender.

Jones said “my glove got caught in his

Blackhawks’ coach Joel Quenneville argues with officials Feb. 4 during the first period against the Arizona Coyotes in Glendale, Ariz. legs.” The Hawks obviously disagreed, with Marian Hossa lamenting – for the second time in three games – that the league was overturning good goals when it claims to want more offense in the game.

The Hawks dressing room was abuzz after Thursday’s skate with talk about

the coaches’ challenge process – which is in its first year – and the consensus was the review should be centralized in New York or Toronto. As it stands now, the referees at each game conduct the reviews themselves on iPads between the penalty boxes.

But Bettman said the system is

working exactly as he had hoped, saying it’s supposed to be a judgment call.

He pointed out that the NHL was doing centralized replay reviews for more clear-cut calls long before other leagues began to copy the “war room” system.

“The NFL doesn’t use replay for pass interference,” Bettman said. “It’s a pure judgment call. And our belief, at least for the first season, is it’s best left with the officials who are making the call and officiating the entire game, so that the standard’s consistent throughout the game.”

Quenneville was so irate after Tuesday night’s game – which was 1-0 until a Joe Thornton empty-net goal in the final two minutes – that he stormed out of his postgame news conference after just one question.

“I just think we had a couple of occurrences in a short amount of time, so obviously there was a little frustration there,” Quenneville said. “We did speak to the league and we got some [clarity] on the play. I just think there’s an education across the board and you’ve got a lot of people in the middle of the process making those decisions. As long as we get it right. [That’s] what we’re looking for.”

“Chicago will be Hockeytown USA,” mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday afternoon at a press conference announcing that next year’s draft will be June 23 and 24, 2017 at the United Center.

Chicago already has been the center of the hockey universe – at least, in the United States – over the past several seasons, with the Hawks hosting three Stanley Cup finals, a Winter Classic and a Stadium Series game.

While Hawks president John McDonough continues to work NHL commissioner Gary Bettman for a future All-Star game – “My ear’s always being bent by the Blackhawks organization,” Bettman said – the draft was a logical next step. Chicago has never hosted the draft, which has been rotating around the league since the 1980s.

Bettman said that when he heard

that fact, he said, “Please go back and check. That can’t be possible.”

Unlike its NFL counterpart, the NHL draft is a low-key affair. It’s a massively significant weekend for the league, because homegrown talent is of the utmost importance in the salary-cap era (10 current Hawks were originally drafted by Chicago), and because all 30 general managers are under one roof mere days before the opening of free agency, which always leads to a frenzy of trades. But it usually doesn’t come with much fanfare beyond the draft itself.

The Hawks hope to change that, and make it a more “entertaining” and “innovative” experience, in McDonough’s words.

“We’l have the atrium open on the east side at that time, we have the areas around the building, plus I think we can do stuff around the city for the whole week,” owner Rocky Wirtz said.

“You’ve never seen anything that John McDonough or Jay Blunk have done that have been low-key. I would suspect that they’ll do a very, very good job.”

Emanuel said the draft would be privately funded, with no burden on the taxpayers.

Newton scouting report from PFW lingers, but was it wrong?

It was just short of five years ago that I found myself embroiled in a bit of controversy not entirely of my own making.

As the Publisher and Editor of Pro Football Weekly, I was the ultimate arbiter of what we published, and over the years, what we were best known for was creating independent draft analysis and being the leader in the field.

Over a stretch of 35 years from 1978 to 2013, I employed just two head scouts.

Our first, Joel Buchsbaum, is a legend around the NFL Cam Newton who unfortunately died far too young in 2002 after 24 years at PFW. There will never be another Joel, but his successor, Nolan Nawrocki, was the next best thing.

Nolan is so good he’s an editor’s dream and worst nightmare rolled into one.

In February 2011, my Editor-In-Chief, Keith Schleiden, came to me with Nolan’s now infamous

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush scouting report on that year’s likely No. 1 overall pick, Cam Newton.

What do you think was said?

Here is the portion of the scouting report on Newton that set people’s hair on fire.

“Very disingenuous – has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup.

“Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law – does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room ... Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness – is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable.”

I asked Nolan how solid his information was. He assured me he had multiple sources in the Auburn community and the NFL scouting community, and I said “OK, then we have to print it.”

Now let’s understand two things about the backlash that’s ensued to this day.

When someone is the best, and Nawrocki is, for whatever reason people make it their mission to try and prove them wrong.

Secondly, for those who had to pull out the race card, that couldn’t possibly have been less reasonable or fair.

Nobody said a word when Nawrocki laced Ryan Mallett or Johnny Manziel coming out of school just like he did Newton.

Race was never part of the equation, and Nawrocki never disputed Newton’s considerable athletic skills.

Now let’s fast forward to today.

Newton is clearly the best athlete in the NFL and a really good quarterback. Heck, he’s the MVP. But was I the only one in San Francisco just a hair put off by how quickly Newton went from his glaring smile to his look of “Do you know who you’re talking to?”

Is there any question left about

maturity we saw from Newton in the Super Bowl and in his postgame performance? Or two days later when he tried to defend his childishness and sore losers everywhere?

Honestly, what were you thinking when Newton put the ball on the ground with a more than four minutes to play and his team just six points back, and then refused to go after it when he appeared to have the best chance to recover it?

Just once, people, can we put the political correctness, the race card, our jealousy and envy of people who do know more than we do aside and acknowledge what’s directly in front of us?

Nawrocki’s scouting report wasn’t perfect by a longshot. But five years later, Cam Newton is a truly special football player who has shown signs of becoming a very special person who, right now, still has a lot to learn about being a fully grown man.

Perhaps Nawrocki could have made his point more delicately, but AP photo Newton did a lot more Sunday to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam New- prove Nawrocki right than he did to ton hangs his head Sunday during the sec- prove Nawrocki wrong.

It’s still Cam’s show, but the next ond half of Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, act is the one that will truly matter.

Crystal Lake South grad Fahn Cooper (right), an Ole Miss tackle, was officially on the NFL Combine entry list that was released Thursday, though it had been reported last month that Cooper would attend the event as he prepares for the NFL draft.

Running Gator Crystal Lake South grad Kristina Aubert will run in Saturday’s U.S. Olympic Trials marathon after qualifying with a 1:14:56 in the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon in November. It will be her first marathon.

The Marengo girls basketball team outlasted Round Lake, 47-44, Thursday in overtime in Marengo, giving the Indians a three-game winning streak heading into postseason play. Kaila Rondorf led Marengo with 15 points, hitting four 3-pointers in the nonconference win, while Hannah Ritter added 10 points and Erin Haeflinger had six. Trinity Chanthalansy and Lauren Aubry both finished with five points.

Stauss paces Alden-Hebron boys basketball in loss

Austin Stauss paced the Alden-Hebron boys basketball team with 12 points Thursday in a 56-47 nonconference loss to Schaumburg Christian in Hebron.

Stauss, a junior, hit a pair of 3-pointers for the Giants (2-23), who were outscored, 21-8, in the third quarter. James LeJuene was second on A-H with 10 points, Nate Peterson added eight and John Judson finished with seven in the loss.

Treadwell leads group of area prospects with Combine invites

Eight players with connections to the Chicago area were invited to the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine, headlined by wide receiver Laquon Treadwell.

Treadwell led Crete-Monee to the 2012 IHSA Class 6A title before playing at Ole Miss. He had 1,153 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Treadwell, one of the top draft prospects and expected to be a first-round pick, told Chicago Football what it will mean to hear his name called in Chicago in April.

Northwestern has two players going to Indianapolis for the Combine – fullback Dan Vitale (Wheaton Warrenville-South) and defensive end Dean Lowry (Rockford Boylan). Vitale played in the Senior Bowl and Lowry was a standout at the EastWest Shrine Game.

Running back Josh Ferguson, who went to Joliet Catholic, is one of three Illini players who will be at the Combine.

Ferguson had a strong week during the East-West Shrine practices. His college teammates defensive end Jihad Ward and receiver Geronimo Allison also will be in Indianapolis.

Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison (Bolingbrook), Michigan State center Jack Allen (Hinsdale Central), Michigan center Graham Glasgow (Marmion Academy) and Ole Miss offensive tackle Fahn Cooper (Crystal Lake South) round out the group of Chicago-area players who will work out for and interview with teams in two weeks at Lucas Oil Stadium.

• HUNTLEY Continued from page 2 season on a real positive note,” Raethz said. “It’s our third straight Fox Valley first-place crossover game win ... so I’m really really proud of our effort and just pleased to be finishing the regular season on a positive note heading into the postseason.”

The Red Raiders (26-3) have now won 14 consecutive games to close the regular season.

The night, however, didn’t start well for Huntley. In the first four minutes of the first quarter it had just one point, four turnovers and trailed 6-1, forcing Raethz to call timeout.

“Sometimes when we come out, we’re just not ready to go and I think that’s what happened. We needed Raethz to yell at us a little bit and give us a little bit of motivation,” Lowitzki said. “Our defense really picked up, we changed a couple things defensively tried a couple different defenses in order to speed up the game and I think that worked out well.”

It did work well, as the Red Raiders outscored the Rams, 14-3, to close out the first quarter. Huntley’s first basket of the game came with 3:55 left in the first quarter when Ali Andrews pulled up in transition for a jumper.

“We just needed to get momentum

underneath our feet,” Andrews said.

“We just needed to get shots up and just start making them and get more confidence in ourselves.”

Andrews went on to lead the Red Raiders with 22 points, while Morgan Clausen added 15.

Huntley pulled away in the second quarter when it held Grayslake Central (14-14) without a field goal, outscoring the Rams, 13-3, to lead 28-12 at halftime.

The Raiders led, 40-18, after three quarters.

The visitors allowed just six baskets in the entire contest. Lindsay Brust led the Rams with 10 points.

“Going into this game he told us, ‘Let’s seal the deal, this is a statement, a statement needs to be made,’ so this was it,” Lowitzki said.

NASCAR NOTES

Former NASCAR racer Lennie Pond dies at 75

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. – Lennie Pond, who raced for 17 years in NASCAR’s premier series, has died. He was 75. The J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home in Chester, Virginia, said Pond died Wednesday but did not give a cause of death.

A native of Ettrick, Virginia, Pond was a regular competitor at Virginia short tracks and won five Late Model championships. He ran one race in NASCAR’s top series in 1969 and 1970, then joined the sport full-time in 1973.

He was the rookie of the year that season, beating out Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip.

Pond ran 234 career races at the Cup level, and garnered his only victory in the 1978 Talladega 500. He finished in the top five 39 times.

He drove his final Cup-level race in 1989.

Jeff Gordon celebrates winning a Sprint Cup race Nov. 1 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va watchable, with rules that made passing difficult and catching the leader a daunting task.

As NASCAR tried a variety of different packages, the drivers were vocal in the desire for less downforce. Through months of wide-ranging conversations, the drivers secured the rules package they wanted and finally feel that they have a voice in decision-making.

Want To Stop Your Back Pain?

The hope is that the racing will be more entertaining this year.

The field has been cut from 43 cars to 40, and there are only four open slots each week to teams that aren’t guaranteed a spot in the field through NASCAR’s new franchise system. NASCAR also is replacing its “green-whitecheckered” system used late in races with an “overtime line” that will vary

Champ returns: Kyle Busch begins the defense of his Sprint Cup championship at the same track that cost him a chunk of the 2015 season. Busch broke his right leg and left foot when his car slammed into a concrete wall during the Xfinity Series race at Daytona. He missed the Daytona 500 and 10 more races last year, yet a midsummer hot streak propelled him into the Chase and his first Cup title followed. Daytona has since installed more than 8,500 feet of energy-absorbing “soft walls.”

Logano defends: Joey Logano won the Daytona 500 last year, a milestone victory to kick off the best season of his career. Logano even reeled off three straight wins during the Chase before he was eliminated, ending his bid for his first Cup title. Logano is trying to become first driver to win consecutive Daytona 500s since Sterling Marlin (1994-95). He was eliminated after Matt Kenseth intentionally wrecked him at Martinsville.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jeff Gordon will be in the booth.

Tony Stewart will be in a bed when the NASCAR season begins.

Neither stars will be in a car when Daytona International Speedway opens Friday for preparations for the Feb. 21 season-opening Daytona 500. Gordon, arguably NASCAR’s biggest star, retired at the end of last season and the four-time champion will now be a Fox analyst.

He has been highly visible during his newly acquired free time, and was on an all-terrain vehicle trip with Stewart a week ago when the three-time champion crashed. Stewart fractured a vertebra and laid in the sand alone for 90 minutes waiting for his group to find him and get him to a hospital.

The accident has sidelined Stewart for the beginning of his final season as a NASCAR driver, denying him a chance to finally win the Daytona 500. He has come heartbreakingly close in his 17 previous tries and spoke last month of his desire to add that win to his résumé.

Instead, he will watch the race on television as he awaits approval to travel.

What Stewart will be missing is the start of what is expected to be a dramatically improved season with plenty of story lines.

Kyle Busch will attempt to defend his Sprint Cup title, which he snatched from 2014 champion Kevin Harvick. Defending Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano will be chasing a championship berth he was denied last year because a feud with Matt Kenseth.

The drivers will all be using a new rules package that they pushed for during a new era of increased communication between NASCAR and its participants. Denny Hamlin spearheaded a driver council last year at a time when the on-track product was practically un-
