Politicizing Justice Scalia’s death

The U.S. Supreme Court lost a conservative voice Saturday when Justice Antonin Scalia, 79, died.

Almost immediately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans wanted to politicize the death.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice,” McConnell said in a statement.

“Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

How comical. I didn’t realize President Barack Obama wasn’t voted in by the people.

This is how McConnell’s statement should have read, if he wanted to be honest with the people: “We lost a conservative voice on the Supreme Court today, and we don’t want him replaced with a liberal voice. I selfishly proclaim we should wait for the next presi-

Robotics club competitions teach design, programming, teamwork

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Six students from Johnsburg High School surrounded their robot Saturday at McHenry County College.

As part of the FIRST Tech Challenge Northern Illinois League Championship, the group had just finished its fourth round of competition for the day, and its robot had a problem with the connection between the Android phone controlling it and the robot’s motor controllers.

After a few minutes, the team of freshmen and sophomores fixed the problem by securing the connection of the wires with zip ties.

The team, called “They might be Robots,” which meets about once a week after school and more often leading up to a competition, had been preparing for its first challenge since September.

“We started out not knowing anything, so we just kind of learned on the way,” said 16-year-old Qin Qin Yang.

The Johnsburg High School team grew out of a team Mareike Western and her father, Gary Western, started when she attended Johnsburg Junior High four years ago.

Other McHenry County schools and independent groups also have started robotics clubs to introduce students to the science, technology, engineering and math – or STEM – subjects at an early age.

Laura Beaupre, coordinator of college and career readiness at MCC, said a robotics challenge is planned for March 18 with nine schools from Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155, Woodstock Community Unit School District 200, Huntley Community School District 158 and McHenry Community High School District 156.

The VEX Robotics Challenge, named after the VEX kits used to put together the robots, will be held at the college, and it will challenge students to design and build robots, and program them to do tasks such as climb a ramp or pick up a ball, Beaupre said.

Most schools will work on the robots through their Project Lead the Way classes, a national program that is offered in Districts 155, 200 and 158 and allows students to take engineer-

ing courses and get college credit, Beaupre said.

Robotics is “one vehicle to really expose students to design, as well as the computer science programming field,” Beaupre said.

The idea for the competition came out of STEM Alliance, a group made up of representatives from MCC and school districts from all grade ranges

in the county that discusses STEM programs at schools.

“It’s really a great way at the high school level to really bring out excitement,” Beaupre said.

And there are opportunities for STEM learning for students as early as first grade through the MCC TECH Camp, Beaupre said. She said the camp’s robotics week is one of the most popular.

The importance placed on STEM fields comes in part from the high demand for jobs in those fields, Beaupre said. Exposing students to design, programming, building and presentation skills through robotics competitions can help students realize their talent in a field with grow-

ing job opportunities, she said.

Teachers from the college and experts in the field also will speak at the challenge to help expose students to some of those careers, Beaupre said.

Students participating on robotics teams learn skills outside of the STEM fields, too. Part of the competition includes working with other teams and presenting to judges.

“It’s really brought out teamwork skills that some of these kids, I don’t even think they knew they had,” said Kevin Duffy, Johnsburg High School drafting and engineering teacher and sponsor of the school’s robotics team.

Donations are being sought after a Jan. 29 fire destroyed the Los Angeles-area rental home of Crystal Lake Central High School graduates David Ling and James Kelley.

CLC grads seek help after home fire

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Just as they were starting to feel comfortable with their lives and careers in Los Angeles, two Crystal Lake Central High School graduates were dealt a blow that has set them back in a new way.

On Jan. 29, a fire destroyed the home of 2005 graduate David Ling and 2009 graduate James Kelley. Everyone had escaped the house safely, but flames ripped through the kitchen and living room.

“I was stopped at the tracks about a half-mile away, but I could see it on the hill,” Kelley said. “I could see the whole thing burning.”

Without renters insurance, Kelley, Ling and their parents have turned to friends and strangers to help rebuild their lives. People can help by either donating to the GoFundMe.com accounts

“I was stopped at the tracks about a half-mile away, but I could see it on the hill. I could see the whole thing burning.”

James Kelley

Crystal Lake Central 2009 graduate they have created or by giving small household items.

Both Kelley and Ling moved to southern California after graduating to pursue careers in the tech industry. It wasn’t until they started working for the same company 2,000 miles away from home that they met and moved in together with two other roommates in Pacoima.

Kelley said some of their things survived the blaze. After washing them for hours with vinegar, their casual clothes

were salvaged. Their computers, however, are in various states of disrepair.

The men have been staying in a hotel since the fire. Kelley hopes to find a suitable home for them to move into soon.

So does his mom, Karen Kelley, who is gathering items at her home until her son and his friends get settled into a new place. She said they’re squared away with most of the large furniture items, but still are seeking smaller essentials.

“It’s coming from a lot of people’s hearts who don’t even know them,” Karen Kelley said. “We want them to succeed as young adults and be able to stay out there.”

She was able to arrange for a discounted shipping container from PODS, which is scheduled to arrive Feb. 26.

Anyone who wants to donate items can contact Karen Kelley at 815-451-3847.

3 Republicans running for 2 open seats in County Board District 2

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com One newly minted McHenry County Board incumbent and two challengers are running in the Republican primary for two seats in the board’s District 2.

Member Jeff Thorsen was appointed in November to finish the term of Ken Koehler, whom board members appointed to the Metra Board.

Thorsen is running for a full fouryear term. The two other Republican candidates, Cameron Hubbard and John Reinert, had submitted their names for the appointment that went to Thorsen. All three candidates running for the two open seats live in Crystal Lake.

District 2 covers northwestern Algonquin and far northeastern Grafton townships, and includes parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood and Lake in the Hills.

Thorsen, who is vice president of FirstMerit Bank in Union and holds an MBA in finance, served 17 years on the Crystal Lake City Council before his appointment. Long experience in local government and finance make him uniquely qualified to be a taxpayer watchdog, he said.

“I have more experience and a proven track record of representing the taxpayers first. I have participated in many more levy hearings.

I have saved taxpayers’ dollars and kept those dollars in taxpayer pockets. I am committed to finding solutions here in McHenry County to stimulate economic growth and cut taxes and taxpayer burden,” Thorsen said.

Hubbard, 31, likewise can point to a political and financial career – he is a financial adviser and has served on the

More online Visit NWHerald.com/ election-central for a candidate questionnaire answer and to learn more about the candidates and issues in the March 15 primary.

Crystal Lake City Council since 2012.

“When I look at my [1-year-old] son, I ask myself, what will McHenry County look like when he becomes an adult.

I feel I have an obligation to him and the other families in our community to get involved and to take an active role to keep McHenry Cameron County a great place to Hubbard live with a strong and thriving economy,” Hubbard said.

Reinert, a self-employed real estate broker and home builder, is making his first run at elected office. He said John his small business and Reinert real estate background keeps him in tune with regular people who are being taxed out of their homes by property taxes that have increased despite home values plummeting.

Jeff While all three Thorsen support the County Board’s ongoing priority to make McHenry County as business-friendly as possible, they differ on the plan to build an interchange at Route 23 and Inter-

state 90 south of Marengo. The city wants it to be an industrial hub with equal access to Rockford and O’Hare airports and the Chicago rail system.

Thorsen has maintained a skepticism of the project, questioning its benefit to McHenry County and “whether it will be the economic panacea that some believe it will be.”

Hubbard said he supports the plan, as long as it is done right and doesn’t turn Route 23 into another Randall Road. Reinert fully supports the plan.

“I feel this will be an economic engine. Growth is enviable. We desperately need to improve our [interstate] access points. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If not now, when?”

Reinert said.

The three candidates also have differing opinions on the future of Valley Hi Nursing Home. Hubbard and Reinert both support keeping the nursing home in county hands, but Reinert supports lowering its levy further, and Hubbard supports keeping the levy at zero until its surplus is depleted, after which voters can weigh in about resuming it.

Thorsen said he questions government’s role in the business and is open to moving it from a public to a private enterprise. He supported the move to zero out its levy, pointing to the home’s significant budget surplus as an example of overtaxation.

The other District 2 incumbent, Carolyn Schofield, is running for the Illinois House of Representatives instead.

The two winners of the primary will face a challenge in November from Democratic opponent Dominique Miller of Crystal Lake. Republicans hold all 24 County Board seats and all countywide offices.

McHenry County is expected to get a temporary reprieve from winter weather this weekend, as temperatures will climb into the 40s and 50s, the National Weather Service said.

Highs are expected to reach the lower 50s on Friday and stay in the 40s for Saturday and Sunday. Lows will be in the 30s throughout.

National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Krein said the weekend will be very windy, with expected speeds of 25 mph and stronger gusts on Friday.

Krein said temperatures will be pushed up by the interaction of two pressure systems. An area of high pressure that currently is sitting over Canada is expected to move into the eastern portion of the U.S. and merge with another system to cover the entire area from New England to Florida.

Simultaneously, a low pressure area will stretch from the Rocky Mountains H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmeto the north plains.

Board to vote on construction contracts for public works facility

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – The Village Board will vote Thursday on whether to approve 16 contracts for various aspects of construction on the village’s new public works facility, which is slated for a spring groundbreaking.

Elgin-based Lamp Inc., the construction manager for the project, selected the contracts after bidding them out for different disciplines, Village Administrator Derek Soderholm said. In total, contracts with 14 companies from around the area are being voted on.

The total cost estimate for the building at the northeast corner of Lincoln and Hillcrest avenues comes in at $2.84 million, within the range provided by officials during the design process last summer.

The process is expected to move forward despite concerns raised last fall by nearby residents who said the planned facility clashed with the area’s character and would cause a drop in property values.

Soderholm said village staff members have spoken privately with some residents and have tried to address their concerns as much as possible with design. Requests for other neighborhood improvements have been added to the village’s wish list for capital projects, which is revisited every year, he said.

On Tuesday, the board will vote whether to approve 14 of the contracts, and to reject a building demolition contract from Green Demolition and a protection contract from Automatic Fire Systems.

Soderholm said the excavating contractor, Schneider Excavating, offered a lower price to demolish the three existing buildings on the site. The fire system contract is slated for rejection because the village is planning to go with a wet sprinkler system as opposed to the currently planned dry one to save costs, he said.

Construction is slated to begin this spring, and the facility could be in use by the end of the calendar year, Soderholm said.

Sump Pump Basics SPONSORED BY

By Carmen R. Heflin According to the American Society of Home Inspectors more than 60 percent of homes have issues with water in the basement. A sump pump can be an effective option for preventing water damage. This is a small pump in a home’s basement that sends water out of the basement into another location such as a sloped backyard or a municipal storm drain. The pump will not necessarily keep the water completely out of your basement but it will control how water is gathered beneath the home and pumps it out after it is collected.

Sump pumps are relatively low-maintenance devices, but you can help keep your unit operational by inspecting it regularly. The following are steps to include in a regular maintenance program. The first is to check the discharge line to make sure it is not stopped up or frozen. If necessary, unclog the air vent hole

in the line. Next, checking the inlet screen to ensure that it’s not clogged with residue and debris, this should be done three or four times per year.

Making sure the float component is unobstructed and can move smoothly. The third step is to scan the pit and remove any visible debris, mud, or stones. Next, test the pump by slowly pouring a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise with the water level, triggering the unit to start pumping. If pumping doesn’t begin, check to see that the unit is plugged in. Your float switch or check valve might also be at fault. Lastly, go outside to see that water is discharging and flowing away from your home.

Man rescued after his snowmobile falls into lake

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – A man was taken to an area hospital with hypothermia after fire officials said the snowmobile he was driving Monday night fell off the ice and into the Nippersink Lake.

The Fox Lake Fire Protection District was dispatched about 6:30 p.m. to the area of 102 Lakeview Avenue in Fox Lake for a reported ice rescue, according to scanner reports.

“A neighbor went onto her deck and could hear a faint voice calling for help,” Fox Lake Fire Chief Ron Hoehne said.

Officials found a snowmobile with one male driver who had driven off the ice and into the open water near 112 Lakeview Ave., Hoehne said.

Two divers from the fire protection district were sent into the water, pulled the man out onto the ice, and then got him in an air boat.

“We took him to Centegra Hospital–McHenry,”Hoehnesaid,adding the man was in serious condition

but it was not considered life-threatening.

Fire officials did not have the man’s name, age or place of residence.

Hoehne didn’t know how long the man had been in the water, but said hypothermia had started setting in.

As the air boat was being secured before the fire protection crew left the scene, Hoehne noted it is not safe to be out on a snowmobile alone and in the dark.

Battalion Chief Tom Preidis said he recommended people stay off the lake altogether right now.

“We’ve had too many thaws and freezes,” Preidis said, adding some areas of the lake are frozen over with 10 inches of ice, while other areas of water are covered by just thin layers of ice.

The incident was being handled by police with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Calls to a number of Lake County conservation officers were not returned Monday night.

Problem-solving skills also are key and require more “higher-end thinking,” Duffy said, in situations such as finding out what went wrong if a robot tips over or has another problem.

Caroline Rausch, a 16-yearold at Crystal Lake South High School, is on an all-girls team not affiliated with the school called Fruit Salad. She said she’s learned about engineering and public speaking from being on the team.

“We have to present to business officials when we go and visit our sponsors. We have to present at libraries and events that are open to the public,” Rausch said. “So we have a wide variety of experience talking to both, like, little kids at the library and also older professionals at the business.”

Rausch’s team, along with another Crystal Lake-based team, Octopi, is advancing to the Illinois State Competition of the FIRST Tech Challenge, which will be Feb. 26 at Elgin Community College.

Drones posing new challenges for Ill. prisons

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Wily inmates and their associates on the outside are deploying drones to deliver drugs, cellphones and other contraband to prison yards, leaving prison guards and correctional authorities trying to decide how to deal with the new technology.

After smuggling incidents around prisons in Maryland, Ohio and Oklahoma, Illinois lawmakers are proposing legislation to penalize the activity, even though the state has yet to see an incident on its own turf. Wisconsin and Michigan also have pending legislation to criminalize the use of drones over prisons.

The idea for the Illinois measure came from the state’s Department of Corrections. While drones haven’t been a problem yet, the department “is taking a proactive approach to ensure it does not” become one, spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said.

“It’s like anything, new technology brings new problems,” said Sen. Tim Bivins, a Republican sponsoring the Illinois legislation. Bivins’ bill would add an extra year of prison to inmates involved in bringing contraband into prison with a drone.

In Ohio, a drone delivering drugs to a prison in Mansfield in July triggered a fight among inmates when the package with heroin, marijuana and tobacco

Man on snowmobile dies on Wisconsin’s Lake Geneva

LAKE GENEVA, Wis. – The Department of Natural Resources is warning about thin ice across southern Wisconsin after the death of an Illinois man whose snowmobile went into Lake Geneva.

The DNR said the man’s snowmobile hit open water in the middle of the lake about 9 p.m. Sunday. Another man jumped off his machine and stayed on the ice. He called for help, but WISN-TV reported it took about an hour for rescuers to reach him.

DNR Warden Juan Gomez said because of the open water in the center of the lake, rescuers didn’t want to put emergency responders at risk until they could prepare.

Maryland State Police and prison officials said two men planned to use the Yuneec Typhoon drone and controller, pictured Aug. 24 in Jessup, Md., to smuggle drugs, tobacco and pornography videos into the maximum-security Western Correctional Institution near Cumberland, Md. was dropped in the yard. Maryland police arrested two men planning to use a drone to drop off drugs, pornography and a cellphone into a prison in Cumberland in August. And in October, prison officials at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary found a drone that crashed on facility grounds with hacksaw blades, a cellphone and heroin.

Knowingly taking aerial images of a correctional institution also would be punishable with a felony charge under Bivins’ bill. That’s because in addition to being worried about contraband, of-

ficials also are concerned that drones could be used to plan escapes or other crimes by capturing videos or photographs of a prison’s layout.

“You shouldn’t have the ability to fly over a prison whether you’re dropping contraband or not,” said Bivins, of Dixon, which is home to a medium security prison with about 2,300 inmates.

He said while it may be possible to charge someone caught flying drones over prisons, it would be only a misdemeanor offense, such as disorderly conduct, and prison officials wanted to have

Poland angry at criticism from U.S. over rule of law

WARSAW, Poland – Polish leaders said three U.S. senators who have expressed concerns about the rule of law in Poland are misinformed about the country and do not have the right to lecture Warsaw about its internal affairs.

The bipartisan group of senators, Arizona’s John McCain, Benjamin Cardin of Maryland and Richard Durbin of Illinois, sent a letter last week to Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo expressing their concern that the new laws affecting the constitutional court and public media “could serve to diminish democratic norms, including the rule of law and independence of the judiciary.”

The senators, who described themselves as “friends of Poland,” urged the Warsaw government to “recommit” to shared

State police to crack down on expressway shootings

CHICAGO – Illinois State Police said they’re going to start cracking down on violence on Chicago-area expressways.

State police said Monday that they’ll start using aircraft, video cameras, undercover officers and covert vehicles as part of the Chicago Expressway Anti-Violence Surge.

The goal is to stop expressway shootings.

Police said there also will be more uniformed troopers on the expressways.

State police officials said that over the past few years gang-related gun violence has escalated and shifted to Chicago expressways. They said the shootings put the

something in the books specifically on drones.

Tennessee is the only state with a law specifically relating to the use of drones over prisons, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Under the proposed measure in Wisconsin, anyone who flies a drone over a state correctional institution would face a fine up to $5,000.

But states are trying to address the issue without legislation, too.

South Carolina’s Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville got new surveillance equipment installed in December 2014 after someone tried to smuggle contraband with a drone.

Ohio correctional officials also are trying to figure out how to prevent more drone-smuggling cases like the one that sparked the prison yard fight. Brian Niceswanger, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Corrections, said officials explored the possibility of using technology that blocks the radio waves that control the drones, but worried that could impact cellphone reception at the prison and in nearby neighborhoods.

For now, Niceswanger said, they’re still trying to determine what to do about drones.

“We’re not going to allow anyone to try to shoot them down or anything like that,” he said. “We’re trying to explore what options there are to combat them other than increasing the penalties for those who try to fly them in.”

public in danger and force roadways to be closed for hours at a time so crime scenes can be processed.

State police said they’ll work closely with Chicago police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office to fight gang violence.

Southwestern Illinois city puts police chief on leave

COLUMBIA – The police chief of a small Illinois city near St. Louis is on paid administrative leave after an investigation into a child custody dispute involving his family.

Monroe County Sheriff Neal Rohlfing said on Sunday that his department’s investigation of Columbia Police Chief Joe Edwards has been turned over to a special state prosecutor at the county prosecutor’s request. Columbia Mayor Kevin Hutchinson told the Belleville News-Democrat that Edwards is on paid administrative leave.

Both men declined to discuss specifics about the case.

Obama faces political puzzle in naming Scalia’s successor

By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY and MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – For most presidents, choosing a Supreme Court nominee is a puzzle. For President Barack Obama, the chance to pick a successor to Justice Antonin Scalia is more like a Gordian Knot.

As the White House carries out a rare election-year search for a nominee, the president’s lawyers and top advisers are sorting through a tangled web of political, legal and personal factors. A smart pick and nomination strategy could determine whether Obama gets to reshape the highest court for the next generation.

The wrong pick could cede that opportunity to his successor.

Democrats view this as a moment decades in the making. Recent Republican presidents have gotten more chances to fill seats, tilting the court to the right.

“The Supreme Court has not reflected where the American people have been on issues,” said Gregory Craig, who served as White House counsel early in Obama’s first term. “This is the first opportunity in many, many years to bring the court more in line with the American people.”

For Obama, the clock is ticking. The sooner he picks a name, the longer he has to try to force the Republican-led Senate to hold a vote.

At the heart of Obama’s dilemma is how to manage the fierce Republican opposition to his decision to name a nominee. Within hours of Scalia’s death on Saturday, Republicans began arguing Obama should let his successor fill the open seat.

Obama brushed that argument aside, but it is undoubtedly weighing on his decision. Given

the election-year timing, Obama would likely have been inclined to name the nominee most likely to appeal to Republican senators.

But if Republicans object to Obama even trying to fill the post – and remain united in that position – the president may see little point in bending too far to appease the other party.

He may feel the pull to focus more on ginning up his own party’s base. Then key question becomes: What are the chances of getting a vote?

This wouldn’t be “the first time Republicans have come out with a lot of bluster only to have reality sink in,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Monday.

Refusing to allow a vote has consequences for the court, Shultz said, pointing to the prospects for tie votes that would allow lower court decisions to stand.

Schultz said the president will use the same criteria he used when he nominated Sonia Sotomayor, who became the first Hispanic on the court, and Elena Kagan, then-solicitor general.

In those instances, and in his appointments to lower courts, Obama has shown a desire to expand ethnic and racial diversity and to elevate more women. His nominee would almost certainly support abortion rights, consideration of race in college admissions and other areas of public life, limits on campaign contributions and stronger rights of labor unions – all issues that have divided the court’s liberal and conservative justices on a 5-4 margin.

In all likelihood, those cases where the conservatives prevailed, with Scalia in the majority, would come out the other way if Obama gets to pick Scalia’s successor.

Obama also has prioritized young candidates – people likely to hold the seat for decades.

George W. Bush offers Trump takedown

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. – George W. Bush never mentioned Donald Trump. But with his folksy touch, the former president unleashed a tough takedown Monday of the billionaire businessman who has upended a Republican Party his family has long led.

“I understand Americans are angry and frustrated,” Bush said during his first campaign rally for his brother, Jeb Bush. “But we do not need somebody in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration.”

Trump’s rise has confounded the Bush family and its allies. But despite months of predicting the brash billionaire would fade, it’s Jeb Bush whose White House hopes are in peril, particularly if he’s unable to pull out a strong showing in Saturday’s South Carolina primary.

The former president emerged from his self-imposed political hibernation to try to give Bush a boost. He layered each validation of his younger brother with an implicit critique of Trump.

He urged voters to back a candidate who will be “measured and

Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (right) accompanied by his brother, former President George W. Bush (left), and George’s wife, Laura Bush, take the stage during a campaign stop Monday in North Charleston, S.C. thoughtful” on the world stage. A candidate whose “humility” helps him understand what he doesn’t know.

A candidate who can win in November’s general election.

“All the sloganeering and all the talk doesn’t matter if we don’t win,” Bush said. “We need somebody who can take a positive message across

the country.”

With his brother as a strong warmup act, Jeb Bush delivered an impassioned version of his campaign speech, touting his experience as Florida governor and vowing he could put Republicans back in the White House for the first time in eight years.

“I can beat Hillary Clinton,” he

said of the Democratic front-runner.

“I can promise you that.”

The former president’s return to presidential politics has been met with blistering attacks from Trump about the unpopular Iraq war and the economic recession that began at the end of his administration. Trump also has repeatedly reminded voters that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks happened on Bush’s watch.

“If the ex-president is campaigning for his brother, I think he’s probably open to great scrutiny, maybe things that haven’t been thought of in the past,” Trump told reporters Monday.

Rather than gloss over 9/11, Bush leaned in. As the crowd fell into a hushed silence, he recounted in detail his whereabouts on the morning of the attacks and praised the troops that served in the two wars he started in response.

“Your most solemn job as voters is to elect a president who understands the reality of the threats we face,” he said.

As he praised South Carolina’s Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, the daughter of Indian-born parents, Bush pointedly said: “Thank goodness our country welcomed her parents when they immigrated here in 1969.”

A new prize in Nevada: the Asian-American vote

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Cynthia Ameli stopped her car, shocked at what she saw: A group of young Asian Americans waving Obama campaign signs on the side of a Las Vegas thoroughfare.

A Chinese-American who grew up in Chicago, Ameli was used to African Americans and Latinos organizing for candidates, but not members of her own ethnic community. Even more astounding to her was how those signs in late 2012 announced the support of a community that had rarely spoken out about its politics – “Asian American Pacific Islanders for Obama.” Ameli leapt out of her car and asked for a sign.

Now Ameli, a 57-year-old pharmacist, keeps a collection of Asian-American campaign placards and buttons at her house, including new ones from the Hillary Clinton campaign, for which she volunteers.

As Clinton and Bernie Sanders scrap for every vote before Saturday’s Nevada caucuses, they are competing for support among members of the na-

tion’s fastest-growing ethnic group, one that both parties are trying to win over. Asian Americans comprise 6 percent of the U.S. population, and their numbers have increased 56 percent since 2000. In Nevada, Asian Americans are 9 percent of the population.

Asian Americans encompass a diverse range of people, among them recent Chinese immigrants, Muslims from Pakistan, Filipino-American Catholics and U.S. citizens from Hawaii. Campaigns are paying attention.

“It’s a fast-growing population, it’s young, people are getting engaged,” said Shu-Yen Wei, who helps with Asian-American outreach for the Democratic National Committee. “That’s why people are interested.”

Since the 1990s, exit polls have found Asian Americans voting increasingly Democratic during presidential elections, with 73 percent backing President Barack Obama in 2012. Analysts attributed that to the GOP’s criticism of illegal immigration.

But in the 2014 midterm elections, Asian voters appeared to split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

Their numbers are small enough so

that it’s difficult to rely on polling to determine their leanings. Most, analysts agree, do not register with a political party, and they have among the lowest turnout rates of any group.

“There’s a huge, unaffiliated voting bloc of Asian Americans,” said Jason Chung, the Republican National Committee’s director of Asian Pacific American Initiatives. “We’re working hard to grow our party and include

Asian Americans in our political process.”

Nevada’s Asian-American population shows why it’s so hard to sum up the community’s politics – it ranges from dedicated union activists to anti-abortion rights Filipino-American churchgoers, sprinkled with so many who have relocated from Hawaii that Las Vegas is often called “the ninth island.”

Will Shafroth

President of the National Park Foundation Mall.

Park Service Director John Jarvis said the memorial, dedicated in 1922, is structurally sound but does need some repair work.

“It’s pretty stout, and I think really has held up quite well for a structure of its age,” Jarvis said. “But you can’t build a 100-year roof.”

The memorial is built on pilings, and the park service is going to explore ways for visitors to see the foundations that anchor the memorial to the bedrock. The unseen superstructure is marked with graffiti from the workers who built the memorial over

a seven-year period, including caricatures of former President William Howard Taft and memorial architect Henry Bacon.

Rubenstein, a billionaire who founded The Carlyle Group investment firm in Washington, has already given $7.5 million to repair the Washington Monument after a 2011 earthquake, $5.4 million for the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, and $12.35 million for Arlington House, the home of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.

He said he hopes his donations have

spurred others to think about giving.

Will Shafroth, president of the National Park Foundation, believes it has. He notes that donations to the foundation have grown from about $25 million three years ago to an expected $100 million in this fiscal year.

On Monday, the foundation announced that a $350 million, five-year capital fundraising campaign begun in October 2013 is about halfway to reaching its goal.

“Due to things like Mr. Rubenstein’s generous gifts, we’ve tapped into a real vein of interest ... in highlighting the importance of these national treasures,” Shafroth said.

Rubenstein, a history buff, said he is particularly excited that his gift will provide the park service a better opportunity to tell Lincoln’s story to visitors at the memorial, and generally increase awareness about his presidency.

“It will be good if people read more about Lincoln and what he did to keep the country together,” he said.

The many health benefits of sleep SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak We all know the results of not getting enough sleep. Words like tired, cranky and unproductive spring to mind.

But there’s more to getting a good night’s sleep than how you feel the next day. Adequate sleep is vital to your health and can even help you to live longer, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The average adult needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night, and children need 10 hours.

Babies require at least 16.

Sleep supports healthy brain function and physical health, and in children it’s important for growth and development.

Ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for disease and affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

Your immune system is also dependent on sleep to defend your body against infections, says the NIH. Sleep helps heal and repair the heart and blood vessels. Prolonged inadequate sleep has been linked to heart and kidney disease, high blood

pressure, diabetes and stroke, says the NIH. And, it increases the risk of obesity.

Sleep is also important for hormone balance, which is why sleep deficiency increases risk of obesity and diabetes. Hormones also affect growth in children, and muscle mass in people of all ages. Plus, sleep affects the hormones involved in puberty and fertility.

Adequate shut-eye helps enhance learning and problem-solving skills, enabling you pay attention, make decisions, and be creative. Lack of it results in trouble making decisions, solving problems, controlling your emotions and behavior, and dealing with change. It’s also been linked to depression, suicide, and risk-taking, advises the NIH. Children and teens who get inadequate sleep may have problems getting along with others. They may feel angry and impulsive, have mood swings, feel sad or depressed, or lack motivation. They also may have problems paying attention, get lower grades and feel stressed.

If all of these aren’t reason enough to get your recommended Zzzs, here is one more argument for sleep: it’s a free way to feel and look better. Enough said.

Philanthropist David Rubenstein, who has already donated tens of millions of dollars to refurbish the Washington Monument and other icons, is giving $18 million to fix up the Lincoln Memorial.

The National Park Service announced the gift Monday.

The money will be used to fix the memorial’s roof, clean the marble and improve accessibility by adding a second elevator.

The park service also plans to create 15,000 square feet of visitor space tucked beneath the memorial for exhibits.

Rubenstein said his admiration for Lincoln drew him to this project.

“Lincoln deserves to have his memorial in tip-top shape,” he said in a phone interview.

ANOTHER VIEW

Antonin Scalia’s remarkable legacy

Antonin Gregory Scalia held many titles in the remarkable life that ended Saturday after 79 years.

Maureen McCarthy Scalia called him her loving husband for 55 years.

Five sons and four daughters called him father; more than two dozen of their children called him grandfather. This good family mourns him, as do the numerous friends who knew “Nino” – as a professor, Antonin an assistant attorney Scalia general and, for the past three decades, as a justice of the Supreme Court.

At the court, he earned another title, “Leader of the Opposition,” albeit informally, in a magazine headline.

But it fit: Scalia was the intellectual avatar of a conservative movement that took issue not only with modern American jurisprudence but also, in a real sense, with modern America itself.

It was not simply the Supreme Court’s expansion of federal power and the declaration of new rights – to Miranda warnings, to some affirmative action and, in Roe v.

Wade, to abortion – that energized Scalia during the 1960s and 1970s.

It was the arrogance with which, in his view, the court departed from, or even ignored, constitutional and statutory text, contrary to democratic accountability and the rule of law. By dissecting the court’s methodological failings, Scalia believed he ultimately could win the underlying substantive battles.

He thus acquired another title – “originalist” – and used his considerable verbal gifts against liberal shibboleths in one tartly worded opinion after another.

Scalia’s vision of a society that decides its big issues through democratic processes, as opposed to delegating them to nine unelected lawyers, as he liked to call the Supreme Court, is not unattractive.

Its weakness, of course, is the tendency – manifest with sad frequency in U.S. history – of majorities

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

to trample the rights of minorities.

That was the tendency the Warren Court tried to correct in the 1950s and 1960s. Scalia was not blind to individual rights himself; he wrote seminal rulings expanding certain protections for criminal defendants, and he stood up for protesters’ rights to burn the American flag.

Scalia helped promote state sovereignty as one of five Republican-appointed justices who made up a majority bloc on those issues under Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.

He wrote the court’s opinion in the 2008 case establishing an individual right to firearms possession, a 64-page tour de force that showed how the court’s arguments had shifted to Sca-

lia’s originalist terrain; his historical interpretation of the Second Amendment’s drafting obliged dissenter Justice John Paul Stevens to respond with his own.

But on the issues that most animated him and the conservative activists who cheered him – abortion, affirmative action and gay rights – Scalia did not, over time, carry the day.

Originalism, however cogent, could not sway more pragmatic justices, such as his fellow Republicans Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy, who understood, better than Scalia did, the risks of setting the court against contemporary culture.

To the contrary, when his wit,

soured perhaps by deep disappointment at Roe’s durability, morphed into sarcasm, or even insult, he alienated those colleagues – and many citizens, too.

At his best, however, Scalia embodied the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron.”

For decades, he wielded mental steel against liberalism, and this obliged progressives to acknowledge their excesses and toughen their arguments.

The essential achievements of the pre-Scalia court survived – their legitimacy enhanced for having been so relentlessly and brilliantly tested by him.

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.

Touching the future

To the Editor: Christa McAuliffe’s motto was, “I touch the future. I teach.”

In remembering the future belongs to the brave, as President Ronald Reagan put it, I too think of the future. Will we be touched by the continuing nonsense of politics or radical hate and division?

Or will we be touched like Christa and touch the future ourselves? Preparing the next generations of pioneers and pathfinders?

Who will reach far and greater together, seeing beyond the next star to see something noble?

Our past reminds us, even today, the new frontiers have not all been won, and it is why, as John F. Kennedy once put it, we still need a few good men and women who can dream and say why not.

God surely has blessed America to lead in the greatest adventures of human endeavors – not stand will and wait for others.

My fellow citizens, if we are to touch the future, then today, we must teach,

VIEWS Rich Miller It might come as a shock to Democrats, but the vast majority of Republicans truly believe Rauner has tried to compromise, and the Democrats are refusing to budge. So, the president’s words were music to their ears.

Obama said he believed many Republicans “share” many of his values, adding, “And where I’ve got an opportunity to find some common ground, that doesn’t make me a sellout to my own party.”

At that moment, Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, jumped from his seat and yelled, “Heck yeah!” Dunkin has portrayed himself as diligently working to move things forward by cooperating with Rauner, but he’s been thrashed by his fellow Democrats for being a “sellout” to the wealthy Republican governor by suddenly flip-flopping on issues and voting against his party’s values, including union rights.

“Well, we’ll talk later, Dunkin, you just sit down,” Obama said to uproarious applause. “One thing I’ve learned is folks don’t change.”

The line was a devastating slash at Dunkin, who Obama dealt with when

we must inspire and we must lead.

And without the political nonsense, but with every contribution of the human spirit. I believe we can and will.

Because when we touch the future, it is only then shall we see the wonders that comes from this historic effort. God bless America.

Results are all that matters

To the Editor: Rod Blagojevich, Pat Quinn, Michael Madigan and John Cullerton with their Democratic supermajorities tried to fix Illinois’ fiscal problems for more than 12 years by doing the equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship; all symbolism, no substance.

They even passed a 67 percent state income tax increase. What was the result? Our state’s long-term and shortterm debts are the highest ever.

Illinois voters sent Bruce Rauner to Springfield to fix the state. Rauner is

he was still in the General Assembly.

Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass quickly tweeted: “So #Obama tells #Illinois pols about need for compromise, then rips Rep. Dunkin, D who dared go against Boss Madigan.

That’s #thechicagoway.”

Kass did Dunkin no favors. Dunkin is fighting for his political life in a Chicago Democratic primary against a union-backed candidate. Call me crazy, but I don’t think his majority African-American constituency will be happy their state legislator was publicly humiliated by the nation’s first black president.

Word is the Democrats warned the White House that Dunkin would attempt to insert himself into the visit, and they were quite satisfied with the result. They also might have warned the president that Dunkin’s 1990s arrest record was about to become an issue in his primary race.

Even so, House Speaker Michael Madigan made a significant mistake last week. Obama often has called former Senate President Emil Jones his political “godfather.” Jones mentored Obama, gave him important assignments and drew a district for him that meandered up Chicago’s wealthy Gold Coast to allow the ambitious young pol to raise campaign cash from the elite. No Emil Jones, no President Obama. The president gave Jones a

couple of shoutouts during his speech and said he misses him.

Jones and Madigan fought bitterly for years. Indeed, if you go back and look at what Senate Black Caucus members were saying about Madigan during that fight, you’d see they said many of the same harsh things about Madigan as Rauner says today.

Madigan relegated Jones to the gallery while inviting former legislators of far less stature onto the House floor. Madigan’s snub was deeply resented by many and brought back a lot of very bad memories.

If Rauner had done a better job of understanding his job, he’d be able to build on this anger at Madigan, but making statements about how tax money is being thrown down the “toilet” at the majority black Chicago State University, and cozying up to Dunkin (who just last week called his fellow legislators “monkeys”) and pushing social service agencies into bankruptcy has so damaged his relationships he probably can’t take much advantage.

“We’re winning,” Rauner told a downstate audience hours after Obama’s “unity” speech. No, he’s not.

Nobody is.

President Barack Obama seemed to admit almost right from the start of his address to the Illinois General Assembly last week about the need for a more civil politics that he probably wouldn’t sway his audience, which has been bickering amongst itself for more than a year.

Obama talked about his first Illinois Senate speech, after which Republican Senate President Pate Philip “sauntered” over to his desk, slapped him on the back and said, “Kid, that was a pretty good speech. In fact, I think you changed a lot of minds, but you didn’t change any votes.”

Frankly, after months without any progress in Springfield, I’d settle for a few changed minds, but I’m not even sure a single mind was changed. Instead, the speech gave people on both entrenched sides just enough ammo to bolster their cases against the other.

Predictably, Obama weighted the argument in favor of his own policy views, bringing up his support for union collective bargaining, which Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner repeatedly has attacked He threw just enough bones at the Republicans, however, to allow them to issue statements like the one from GOP state Rep. Barb Wheeler: “The President reiterated what the governor and others have said before, without compromise we cannot govern.”

U.S. sending less lobster to Canada

AP file photo

In this June 20, 2014, file photo, lobsters are processed at the Sea Hag Seafood plant in Tenants Harbor, Maine. America’s lobster industry is sending less of its catch to Canada as processing grows in New England.

By PATRICK WHITTLE The Associated Press

SACO, Maine – America’s lobster industry is sending less of its catch to Canada as processing grows in New England, and the growth could have widespread ramifications for consumers who are demanding more lobster products every year.

U.S. lobstermen, clustered in the coastal New England states, long have sent a large amount of their catch to Canada’s Maritime Provinces, where about two dozen companies process millions of pounds of lobster meat every year into everything from vacuum-sealed lobster meat packages to lobster pate. The processed lobster ends up in products such as lobster ravioli and lobster pot pie.

The dynamics of the processing industry are slowly changing, however.

America exported about 69 million pounds of lobster to Canada in 2014, and the 2015 figure was less than 67 million,

federal data show.

The trend comes as the lobster catch is booming, enabling the growth in processed lobster products. American fishermen set a record for lobster catch in 2012 and nearly topped it the following two years.

More processing plants in Maine are providing a way for fishermen to sell their lobsters locally rather than export, and Massachusetts lawmakers might change laws to allow more processing in their state. The processing growth ultimately could democratize the notoriously expensive lobster by making lobster products more available and affordable.

“Processors are creating more markets; more markets create greater opportunity for additional channels for lobster products to be sold,” said Luke Holden, president of Luke’s Lobster and owner of Cape Seafood, a processor in Saco, Maine.

Maine’s lobster meat processing industry barely existed 25 years ago, slow-

ly grew to five companies in 2010 and now includes 15 firms that processed about 20 million pounds of meat in 2013.

Voters agreed to help pay for more growth through a 2014 referendum to dedicate $7 million in public money to Maine seafood and lobster processing.

In Massachusetts, where the lobster industry and some state leaders see the possibility of creating a bigger lobster-processing sector, the state Senate approved a bill in January that updates state laws to permit processing, sales and transportation of cooked and frozen in-shell lobster parts.

New England’s processing industry remains dwarfed by Canada’s. Companies in provinces including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia processed about 150 million pounds of lobster in 2013.

Leaders in Canada’s industry have noticed the U.S. growth, however. Jerry Amirault, president of the Lobster Processors Association of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, said he anticipates more competition between the U.S. and

Canada for lobsters to process.

“We believe with the growth in the U.S. industry, increased demand takes place,” he said. “There’s going to be a competition for that resource.”

The slight drop in lobster exports to Canada can be attributed to more factors than processing growth, such as the supply of lobsters and the weak Canadian dollar, said John Sackton, an industry analyst and publisher of Seafood.com.

However, domestic processing growth is important because it reduces shipping costs, which eventually are borne by the consumer, lobstermen have said. Processing growth also is important because of the trend toward processed lobster products and the importance of branding them as local to New England, some said.

“Restaurants are adding lobster in many ways. Lobster mashed potatoes, lobster mac and cheese,” Sackton said.

“The growth in the industry is going to be very much in that direction.”

U.S. agency closes probe into Kia

DETROIT – U.S. auto safety regulators have closed an investigation into air bag problems in some Kia small cars without seeking a recall.

In September, investigators began looking into problems in about 186,000 Spectra cars from 2007 through 2009. The agency and Kia received 163 complaints about failure of mats in the front passenger seats that detect whether a child is there. The devices turn off the air bags to prevent injuries.

But the mats could develop electrical problems that let the air bags inflate even if a child is present.

The government determined the failure rate was low for the cars’ age. Plus Kia extended the mat warranty to 15 years.

Kia will notify owners about the warranty and send them to dealers if a warning light comes on.

WASHINGTON – Walt Whitlow was under treatment for cancer when he got an unwelcome surprise.

His financial assistance under President Barack Obama’s health care law got slashed. That meant his premium quadrupled and his deductible went from $900 to $4,600.

Hundreds of thousands of people lose subsidies under the health law, or even their policies, when they get tangled in a web of paperwork problems involving income, citizenship and taxes.

Some are dealing with serious illnesses such as cancer. Advocates fear the problems, if left unresolved, could undermine the nation’s historic gains in health insurance.

Ana Granado was scheduled for reconstruction after breast cancer surgery when she was notified her coverage would be canceled because of questions about her immigration status. Legal aid attorneys got that cleared up quickly, but Granado’s financial assistance for her premiums was suspended.

Lynn Herrin got irritated when she had to pay $700 to the IRS after it determined she got too big a tax credit for premiums under the health law.

Since she also was having trouble finding a doctor who accepted her insurance, Herrin canceled. It was a costly mistake.

She was diagnosed with oral and neck cancer and depleted her family savings to pay for treatment.

Not every case is as distressing, but

coverage disruptions because of complex paperwork requirements seem commonplace in the health law’s system of subsidized private insurance, which currently covers about 12.7 million people.

The government says about 470,000 people had coverage terminated through Sept. 30 last year because of unresolved documentation issues involving citizenship and immigration.

During the same time, more than 1 million households had their financial assistance “adjusted” because of income discrepancies. Advocates say “adjusted” usually means the Walt subsidies get eliminated.

Whitlow “When people get that bill for a full-price plan, they panic and they cancel the insurance,” said Elizabeth Colvin of Foundation Communities, an Austin, Texas, nonprofit that serves low-income people.

Some worry the problem could undermine the law’s insurance markets, now in their third year.

“These problems can grow, and they can contribute to undermining consumer faith in the system, and that could lead to attrition,” said Rachel Klein of Families USA, an advocacy group that supports the health law.

Pressured by a Republican-led Congress hostile to Obama’s overhaul, the administration is highly sensitive to criticism that some people might be getting benefits they’re not legally entitled to.

But Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell recently acknowl-

edged the paperwork tangle is more likely to trap the innocent than fraudsters.

The administration has made customer retention a priority, and Burwell said she’s focused on making the system less challenging for consumers eligible for benefits.

The next few months will tell whether improvements to the HealthCare.gov website in the 2016 sign up season helped cut down on problems. The technology now alerts consumers to gaps in their applications that could later trigger documentation problems.

If there’s a documentation issue, consumers have about three months to straighten things out. But Whitlow, a self-employed remodeling contractor from Volente, Texas, said he was blindsided.

He had requested that HealthCare.gov contact him by mail, but he found out his subsidy was slashed when his doctor’s office called the family. Not only was he on the hook for the full, unsubsidized premium, but he also faced far higher copays and deductibles.

“It kind of blew my mind,” Whitlow said.

He said he had submitted bank statements to prove his income, but apparently that wasn’t enough. His family chipped in to maintain his coverage while he got follow-up treatment for throat cancer.

“I was really impressed with the quality of care, but the paperwork was just unbelievable,” Whitlow said.

With help from Foundation Communities, the family appealed and eventually won.

U.S. approves first factory in Cuba since revolution

By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN The Associated Press

HAVANA – The Obama administration has approved the first U.S. factory in Cuba in more than half a century, allowing a two-man company from Alabama to build a plant assembling as many as 1,000 small tractors a year for sale to private farmers in Cuba.

The Treasury Department last week notified partners Horace Clemmons and Saul Berenthal that they legally can build tractors and other heavy equipment in a special economic zone started by the Cuban government to attract foreign investment.

Cuban officials already have publicly and enthusiastically endorsed the project.

The partners said they expect to be build-

ing tractors in Cuba by the first quarter of 2017.

“Everybody wants to go to Cuba to sell something, and that’s not what we’re trying to do. We’re looking at the problem and how do we help Cuba solve the problems that they consider are the most important problems for them to solve,” Clemmons said. “It’s our belief that in the long run, we both win if we do things that are beneficial to both countries.”

The $5 million to $10 million plant would be the first significant U.S. business investment on Cuban soil since Fidel Castro took power in 1959 and nationalized billions of dollars of U.S. corporate and private property. That confiscation provoked a U.S. embargo on Cuba that prohibited virtually all forms of commerce and fined non-U.S. companies millions of

dollars for doing business with the island.

Letting an American tractor company operate inside a Cuban government facility would have been unimaginable before Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro declared Dec. 17, 2014, that they would restore diplomatic relations and move to normalize trade, travel and other aspects of the long-broken bilateral relationship.

Since then, Obama has been carving exceptions into the embargo through a series of executive actions, and his administration now says they allow U.S. manufacturing at the Mariel port and special economic zone about 30 miles west of Havana. One exception allows U.S. companies to export products that benefit private and cooperative farmers in Cuba.

Berenthal and Clemmons said they will sell only to the private sector.

What parents need to discuss with their kids before studying abroad SPONSORED BY

In a recent study, researchers found that college students who study abroad are more likely to binge drink and use illicit drugs.

Although study abroad programs have many perks, it can entice students to try dangerous and potentially illegal behavior, according to a national survey conducted by On Call International, a travel risk management data company.

More than 1,000 current and recent graduates over the last two years were surveyed about their experience overseas. Survey results found that nearly half of former study abroad students said they had a higher alcohol intake while in a different country. While 11 percent reported they were more likely to black out while drinking, 29 percent used drugs while studying abroad and 11 percent said they tried drugs for the first time.

“Students might increase their drinking for various reasons,” says Marie Mauter, a licensed clinical social worker and an employee assistance program counselor at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill. “Dining in Europe often includes wine or beer as

part of the meal. Also, the legal drinking age in some countries is 18 years old, so many students are drinking legally for the first time.”

Mauter says it’s important for parents to discuss with their college student what can happen when living in a new country and going to school.

To help guide parents in this discussion with their children, she offers parents the following tips: Warn them about not caving into peer pressure with drinking and taking drugs.

Risky behavior in a different country can be even more dangerous than stateside.

Encourage them to notice how people in other countries usually drink in moderation, as opposed to “binge drinking.”

Make sure to do research on the specific program and sign up for the U.S. Department’s Safe Travel Program.

The survey also recommended checking into “duty of care,” which will explain the responsibilities of the college and universities for the students studying abroad.

away Monday with three awards, including best pop vocal album and music video for “Bad Blood,” at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Alabama Shakes also won three awards, although Lamar was the night’s big winner with five.

LOS ANGELES – Taylor Swift’s official switch from country to pop with her multihit, best-selling “1989” album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win for album of the year.

Swift was shocked when she won the night’s top prize, beating out Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Alabama Shakes and the Weeknd. Swift used her speech to encourage young women who feel defeated at times or discouraged by others.

“There will be people along the way that will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. You just focus on the work and don’t let those people sidetrack you,” she said.

Her speech could be directed partly to Kanye West, who recently said in a new song that he made Swift famous after he stole her microphone at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Beyonce also seemed to make a statement when she presented the final award for the night, record of the year.

“Art is the unapologetic celebration of culture through self-expression. It can impact people in a variety of ways for different reasons at different times.

He won best rap album for “To Pimp a Butterfly” as well as rap performance, rap song, rap/sung performance and music video. Along with his wins, Lamar also had a show-stopping moment when he took the stage.

He started as he appeared beaten, in handcuffs, with chains around his hands and a bruise on his eyes. He went on to fuse rap, jazz, reggae and African sounds for a commanding performance as he rapped “The Blacker the Berry” and the Grammy-nominated “Alright” passionately. He ended with a map of Africa, and the city of Compton imprinted in it.

“Hip-hop, Ice Cube, this for hip-hop, this for Snoop Dogg ... this for Nas. We will live forever, believe that,” said Lamar onstage when he won best rap album.

Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars won two awards for “Uptown Funk,” including record of the year. Ronson gave a shout-out to Prince, James Brown and George Clinton for being leaders in funk.

“This is dedicated to the fans right here,” Mars added.

Mars introduced Adele, who sang “All I Ask,” which they wrote together for her new album “25.” She was accompanied with a piano behind her, but the audio sounded off and appeared to throw off her performance.

Windows 10 push

Microsoft wants you using upgrade whether you like it or not

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – If you’re running an older version of Windows, you might suddenly find Microsoft’s Windows 10 upgrade already downloaded on your machine.

You never requested it, so why are you getting it?

The automatic download is part of Microsoft’s aggressive push to get Windows 10 on as many devices as possible. Since last July, Microsoft has distributed the free upgrade on request. But starting this week, it’s also pushing it out to those who haven’t requested it – and who might not want it.

Microsoft isn’t actually installing Windows 10 automatically, but installation is just a click or two away.

If you’re not careful, you suddenly might find the new system on your old machine.

Is this good for you?

The benefits of Windows 10

Windows 10 has many improvements over its predecessors – especially Windows 8. It’s much easier to use than Windows 8, and it offers more modern controls – akin to mobile devices – than Windows 7. (There is no Windows 9.) Windows 10 also paves the way for multiple devices to work together. You might be able to buy an app once to run on your PC, phone and Xbox game machine, for instance.

The app’s layout automatically would reconfigure to the given screen size.

New apps are being designed for Windows 10, so if you have an older system, you might find yourself shut out.

Benefits for Microsoft

Microsoft is reducing reliance on software sales in favor of services such as the Bing search engine, OneDrive storage and Skype for communications. Windows 10 was designed to steer users to those services. Microsoft makes money from ads and premium features that cost money – such as additional OneDrive storage.

Microsoft also can encourage app makers to write more software for Windows 10 if a lot of people are using it. It’s similar to how Apple pushes its users to upgrade to the latest iPhone and Mac systems. App

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks at an event in 2015 demonstrating the new features of Windows 10 at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Wash. If you’re running an older version of Windows, you suddenly might find Microsoft’s Windows 10 upgrade already downloaded on your machine. The automatic download, which began this month, is part of Microsoft’s aggressive push to get Windows 10 on as many devices as possible. developers know they can enable the latest features without worrying about abandoning too many users of older devices.

Why hold out?

System upgrades aren’t always smooth, especially on older machines with slower processors, less memory and less storage space available.

Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 app will verify you meet minimum system requirements – but minimum doesn’t mean speedy.

Older machines also might have software that won’t work on Windows 10, so you’d have to spend money upgrading those programs, if upgrades are available at all. Printers, scanners and other accessories also might need new controlling software, called drivers. If a driver update isn’t available, you might find yourself with a dead

accessory.

And once you upgrade to Windows 10, you might be ceding control over future upgrades to Microsoft. The company is offering incremental updates to Windows 10 on a regular basis, and it won’t always give you a choice on whether to accept.

How to keep the older Windows

Microsoft is treating Windows 10 as a type of security update it regularly pushes to users. Microsoft now is reclassifying Windows 10 as “recommended” rather than “optional.” In doing so, those who have set their machine to automatically get important updates will get Windows 10, too. You can avoid this by turning off automatic updates in the settings under Windows Update. That’s not recommended, though, because you might miss important security fixes.

If you work for a large company, your system administrators likely are monitoring these updates, so Windows 10 won’t automatically download without their OK. Plus, Microsoft isn’t offering Windows 10 for free to larger companies.

Microsoft will support Windows 7 until 2020 and Windows 8 until 2023, after which time it will stop fixing any security problems. By then, it might be time for a new computer anyway.

If you’re ready

To install Windows 10, all you need to do is accept it when prompted. Getting Windows 10 shouldn’t affect your photos and other documents, though there’s always a risk of a meltdown with any major upgrade. Back up your files first. You can use an online storage service such as OneDrive or DropBox to keep a backup online.

Ah, the open office plan: a haven for creativity, spontaneity and collaboration. If you’ve ever worked in one, you probably know these as code words for ceaseless noise, distractions and being forced to listen to phone calls about the veterinary issues of your co-workers’ cats.

And the research backs this up: Studies show open offices can hurt productivity and lead to dissatisfied employees. (That’s a lose-lose, in case you’re keeping track.)

So it should be no surprise workers faced with unfortunate office architecture have come up with creative ways to cope. Friends of mine report doing everything from hanging silk flowers from their desk to signal when they are busy to conspiring with co-workers to call them any time they see a potential interrupter approaching.

Premenstrual issues are treatable Dear Dr. K: I always assumed my premenstrual mood swings were normal. But then I talked to some friends whose emotional symptoms are much less severe than mine. A quick Internet search turned up “PMDD.” Can you tell me more about this?

Dear Reader: The physical symptoms of premenstrual dysmorphic disorder (PMDD) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are the same. They include fatigue, swollen breasts, backache, headache, food cravings, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. But the emotional symptoms of PMDD, compared to PMS, are much more severe.

PMDD is characterized by extreme moodiness, irritability, depression and anxiety.

These symptoms appear the week before a woman gets her period and go away a few days after it starts. A woman with PMDD may experience severe depression and feelings of hopelessness. In especially severe cases, women even may feel suicidal. For these reasons, PMDD is an official psychiatric diagnosis.

How can you tell if you have PMDD or PMS? For a cycle or two, keep track of the dates of your period. Note when your symptoms occur and how severe they are. Your doctor can review the pattern and severity of your symptoms.

PMDD can be treated, but finding the right treatment can take time, as well as trial and error. I spoke to Dr. Hope Ricciotti, my Harvard Medical School colleague and editor-in-chief of the Harvard Women’s Health Watch, about the options.

For women with PMDD who also want contraception, the birth control pill can be very effective. Several studies suggest the best birth control pills for controlling PMDD symptoms contain the hormone drospirenone.

Birth control pills with drospirenone are

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff slightly more likely to cause blood clots than other pills; however, the risk still is relatively low. In women who are older than 35 and are smokers, the risk is higher.

If this doesn’t adequately improve your symptoms, increasing the amount of estrogen in your birth control pill can help. If you still have troublesome symptoms, your doctor might recommend the “continuous method.”

In this method, you take active birth control pills every day. Women who follow the continuous method will stop having periods.

Another treatment option is the class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). There are many SSRIs to choose from, and studies suggest they are equally effective. If the first one you try doesn’t work, your doctor can change the dose or have you try a different SSRI to see if you get a better response.

The women I’ve treated for PMDD often have had their symptoms for years before seeking help. For women who haven’t experienced it, or for people who have not seen it in family and friends, it can be hard to appreciate how disruptive PMDD can be. For around 10 to 15 days each month, a person with PMDD really can have trouble at home and at work. Their moodiness and irritability can affect their relationships with family or co-workers.

TODAY – Keep life simple and your emotions under control, and make the lifestyle changes you feel are best instead of bending to what others want you to do. Use your energy wisely and make every move and decision count. Offer your services to those in need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Positive alterations will make it easier for you to pursue a dream, project or pastime. Don’t let someone else take charge or you won’t get things done your way.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll create confusion with your changeable attitude and mood swings. Money, fitness or legal matters can be improved if you are thrifty, health-conscious and orderly.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Surprise someone by doing something out-of-the-ordinary or special. Your kind gesture will bring you closer together. Money matters can be resolved if you communicate openly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t let anger control you. If you don’t like the way things are being done, do them yourself. Taking action is the best way to get ahead while getting what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Show a little passion and excitement about life and the people you love. An original idea to please someone will go over well and win you favors.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Uncertainty in a relationship will help you recognize what you want. Make whatever changes are necessary to turn your intentions into reality. You will impress someone special with your thoughtfulness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take a proactive approach to whatever you do. Don’t feel that you have to do everything in a conservative manner. Sometimes it pays to think outside the box when it comes to bringing about change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you put greater effort into moneymaking opportunities, contractual negotiations and your health, you will succeed. Don’t procrastinate or wait for someone else to do things for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Use your energy wisely. A creative project will lead to greater recognition, as long as you are careful not to go over budget. Do the work yourself and save money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll be noticed one way or another. Be careful not to do something that makes you look bad or hampers your chance to advance. All eyes will be on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Time and patience will pay off. Do everything you can to improve a situation with a friend, relative or neighbor. Getting along with others will be the best way to go.

Call to advertise 877-264-2527 Imelda Marcos said, “I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there; it’s so petty.” Today, I suppose it is a trillion dollars here and there.

At the bridge table, though, it pays to listen closely to the bidding and to analyze what it is telling you.

Look at only the West hand and the auction in this deal. What should West lead against four spades?

When North jumped to four spades, he showed four trumps and opening strength. If South had had extra values, especially with 4-3-5-1 or, even better, 4-3-6-0 distribution, he would have proceeded toward slam.

The club queen would be a popular lead choice. Then, declarer would most likely win on the board and play a diamond to, say, his jack. West will win and probably shift to a trump.

South wins in the dummy and plays a second diamond. That also loses to West and another trump is returned, but declarer wins in his hand, ruffs a diamond, plays a heart to his king, and ruffs his last diamond. Then, though, South must be careful. He needs to get into his hand to draw West’s last trump, so should concede a club trick. A moment later, declarer ruffs a club, cashes his spade ace, and claims.

Yes, West could have defeated the contract after winning the first diamond by shifting to a heart, but who would ever find that play?

There is a much simpler solution for West. Because he is so strong in declarer’s first-bid suit, he should lead a trump at trick one. Then the defenders would be in control.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL

C-G moves on past CLC

Richardi grabs 12 rebounds in playoff opener

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com McHENRY – When Cary-Grove girls basketball coach Rod Saffert talks to future Trojans, he wants to get one message across when it comes to rebounding: It doesn’t matter how tall you are, it’s about positioning and desire for the ball.

Trojans guard Nicollette Richardi seems to have taken that message to heart. Standing only 5-foot-2, Richardi finished with 12 rebounds off the bench to go with her seven points Monday in C-G’s 63-44 victory over Crystal Lake Central in the first round of the Class 4A McHenry Regional at McHenry West Campus. C-G will play Crystal Lake South in a semifinal at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

“I try to box out and be aggressive to the ball,” Richardi said. “I did that tonight and was able to get a lot of rebounds.”

C-G (12-16), the No. 7 seed in Subsectional A of the DeKalb Sectional, had five days to prepare for 11th-seeded Central and took full advantage of the time off.

“We probably took more shots at practice this past week than we have all season,” Saffert said. “It was really important to come out with a quick start and not let Central gain any confidence. It was important to close strong, because in my 23 years of basketball I’ve learned that anything is possible.”

The extra practice shooting was evident from the start as C-G hit its first three shots and jumped out to a 20-6 lead after the opening quarter.

“It was a good thing we were able to score 20 in the opening quarter because we really struggled after that,” Saffert said. “We know we need to do a better job of holding on to the ball and need to play a lot better if we want to keep advancing.”

The Trojans’ bench provided a nice lift, finishing with 31 points and 24 rebounds. C-G was led by Olivia Miller with 10 points and Vanessa Morris with nine.

Central (2-24) sure had its chances Monday but just couldn’t hit enough shots. The Tigers dominated the offen-

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A CHICAGO SENN REGIONAL

R-B travels to Chicago before Disney forfeits

CHICAGO – Richmond-Burton’s girls basketball game with Chicago Disney lacked the fairy-tale ending from the movies, mainly because the Class 3A regional quarterfinal didn’t even have a beginning.

The Rockets were warming up at Chicago Senn High School for their 7:30 p.m. game with no sign of Disney.

At 7:40 p.m., the public address announcer alerted fans that Disney had forfeited the game.

R-B coach Todd Severns said he was told by members of the host school,

Senn, that Disney was not aware the game was scheduled for Monday night.

The Rockets, seeded 11th in the St. Viator Sectional, advance to play No. 6 seed Wauconda at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Senn. R-B lost to Wauconda in both regular-season meetings this season.

“We’re looking forward to it,” Severns said. “When we play well, we think we can beat anyone. And this time of year, it’s a new season.”

The Bears hired Curtis Johnson as their wide receivers coach and Ben McDaniels as an offensive assistant. Pierre Ngo was promoted to assistant strength and conditioning coach.

Johnson, who replaces Mike Groh, comes to the Bears after four years as head coach at Tulane. He spent the previous six seasons coaching the wide receivers for the Saints, overlapping with current Bears general manager Ryan Pace.

Johnson oversaw the Saints’ wideouts during their Super Bowl season, including the development of Marques Colston.

From 1996 to 2005, Johnson was the wide receivers coach at the University of Miami, coaching Andre Johnson, Santana Moss and Reggie Wayne.

Groh, who had coached the Bears’ receivers the past three seasons, left to join the Los Angeles Rams’ staff as their passing game coordinator.

McDaniels spent the previous two seasons at Rutgers. He was the Scarlet Knights’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2015. From 2012 to ’13, McDaniels was an offensive assistant for the Buccaneers. In 2009-10, he was on the staff of the Broncos when his brother, Josh, was head coach.

The Bears had an opening for an offensive assistant after Bo Hardegree left to

join Adam Gase on the Dolphins’ staff.

Ngo was a strength and conditioning assistant for the Bears last season.

Heat’s Bosh dealing with another blood-clot scare, source says

MIAMI – Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat is dealing with another blood-clot scare, making this the second consecutive year that he’s spent the All-Star break facing an uncertain future because of a health issue.

Bosh will spend “the next few days” reviewing options and no determination will be made about his playing status until he goes through more tests and evaluation, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday night. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither the All-Star forward nor the Heat have revealed the concerns publicly.

Bosh is Miami’s leading scorer at 19.1 points a game this season. He said over the weekend in Toronto he was optimistic about playing again this season.

Bosh pulled out of the All-Star Game and the 3-point contest over the weekend because of what he and the Heat described as a calf strain. He was shut down at the All-Star break last season because a blood clot had found its way to one of his lungs, and that issue is something Bosh believes started as a calf problem.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A BELVIDERE REGIONAL

Harvard, Marengo defeated in 1st round

By JOHN GALLIONE Shaw Media

BELVIDERE – The Genoa-Kingston girls basketball team ramped up its offense after a sluggish first quarter to beat Harvard, 40-17, Monday night and advance to the Class 3A Belvidere Regional semifinals.

“I wasn’t thrilled with the lack of penetration early,” Cogs coach Kyle Henkel said. “We came out pretty lethargic and without energy. I am happy with the way that they picked it up as the game went on.”

The Cogs will face No. 3 seed Hampshire at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The Cogs (16-11), seeded No. 8 in the Rochelle Sectional, led the 12th-seeded Hornets, 7-6, after the first quarter. As the game wore on, the Cogs’ offense was able to get into a groove. At one point, it seemed as if Cogs junior guards Jesi Nay and Julie Galauner were in a scoring duel, answering each other’s offensive out-

Thursday’s championship Semifinal winners, 7 p.m. put and pushing one another to play harder.

Galauner finished with 13 points, a rebound and a steal, and Nay finished with 12 points, a steal and a block.

For the Hornets (0-22), first-year coach Brian Heidtke has the tall task of rebuilding their basketball program essentially from scratch. Heidtke’s plans for the program will lay the infrastructure for competing and, hopefully, success.

“We just need to continue to work on the fundamentals. Passing, shooting and reversing the ball to the weak side are things that will really help us a lot,” Heidtke said. “We have to get our young players out to open gyms in the spring.

“Being hired after the offseason was over, I wasn’t able to be with them in the summer. We’re going to do shooting camps, summer league and offseason programs. These kids just need an opportunity to get better, and they will.”

Harvard’s leading scorer for the night, Lili Garcia, had 10 points, two rebounds and a steal. Her thoughts for how to turn the program around are similar to her coach’s thoughts.

“We have to put in the work in the offseason,” Garcia said. “It can get frustrating because we work hard, but it doesn’t always show up on the scoreboard. We have to bond more as a team and really work on fundamentals if we’re going to get better. Being

the only senior on the team for next season, I have to set that example.”

Hornets sophomore guard Catherine Austin, who added five rebounds, a steal and a block on the evening, agrees with her teammate and coach.

She even offered up what she needs to do individually to get better and thus, make her team better.

“I really need to work on my off hand,” Austin said. “I think that everyone should bring 110 percent and we do a good job of that. We just need to work fundamentals to be better.”

Belvidere 47, Marengo 38: In Monday’s first game, the Indians entered the fourth quarter with a four-point lead but were outscored 14-1 in their season-ending loss. The Indians, the 10th seed in the Rochelle Sectional, were led by Lauren Aubry, who scored 13 points. Amber Proberts had nine points, and Kaila Rondorf added eight.

CLC to hire Spoden as assistant coach

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Crystal Lake Central is set to add Steve Spoden to its football staff as offensive line coach at Tuesday’s District 155 school board meeting.

Spoden’s name is among those listed to be hired for a coaching position. Spoden does not teach, but has extensive assistant coaching experience. He worked as an offensive line coach on former Marian Central coach Ed Brucker’s staff for 13 seasons. Spoden coached St. Viator’s offensive line last season.

Many local linemen work with Spoden, a former offensive lineman at NCAA Di-

vision I Northern Iowa, in groups or as individuals at local gyms. Several Marian linemen who played for Spoden went on to play at D-I schools, led by Bryan Bulaga, who now is right tackle for the Green Bay Packers.

Bulaga (Iowa), Sean Cwynar (Notre Dame), Cody O’Neil (South Dakota), John Hussey (Southern Methodist), Scott Taylor (Northern Illinois and now Eastern Illinois) and Kurtis Stirneman (Wyoming) played for Spoden at Marian.

Tigers football coach Jon McLaughlin added another former Marian coach, Dirk Stanger, to his staff in January as offensive coordinator. Stanger and Spoden coached together at Marian and St. Viator.

6 BLACKHAWKS 7, MAPLE LEAFS 2

Hawks snap skid, but Leafs no test

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Three consecutive home losses – just part of the Blackhawks’ annual second-half lull, or something to worry about?

“If you look at the standings and games played and the schedule, we’ve played more than five games than some teams in the league,” Patrick Kane said.

“So we’ve played a lot of games. No excuse, though. When we get ourselves in these little funks, the best way to get out of them is to win a game and get yourself right back on track.”

The Hawks got the win they needed, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs, 7-2, Monday night at the United Center, as seven players scored.

But it remains to be seen whether they’re back on track. The Maple Leafs are a team in transition under first-year coach Mike Babcock. They’re 4-11-2 in their past 17 games, with only two victories in regulation.

Further complicating matters for the Hawks is the absence of Marian Hossa, who is out for two weeks with a lower-body injury after he was hip-checked by the Ducks’ Hampus Lindholm on Saturday night. “Hopefully, two weeks is probably what we’re looking at,” is how coach Joel Quenneville put it Monday.

Quenneville put newcomer Richard Panik in Hossa’s spot on the first line, with Jonathan Toews and Andrew Shaw. Panik has three goals in 14 games since being acquired from the Maple Leafs for Jeremy Morin on Jan. 3.

“He can score,” Quenneville said in explaining the decision to give Panik the first shot at filling in for Hossa. “He’s

Brandon Mashinter gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead 2:33 into the game with a wrist shot from the right faceoff dot that went over James Reimer’s shoulder.

Shaw made it 2-0 on a power play when he punched in a loose puck in front of the net, with Toews and Kane also battling in front. Kane and Duncan Keith earned assists on the goal – Kane’s 46th of the season for a league-leading 79th point.

The Hawks made it 2 for 2 on the power play when Seabrook beat Reimer with a slap shot, with Toews in front of the net, for a 3-0 lead at 1:55 of the second period.

The Hawks then scored four goals in the third period to seal the game.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Quenneville scratches defenseman Gustafsson

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – After a promising start with the Blackhawks, 23-yearold defenseman Erik Gustafsson was a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. But coach Joel Quenneville made it clear the trip to the doghouse is more of an admonishment than a punishment.

Gustafsson was a plus-12 in his first 15 games with the Hawks after being promoted from Rockford on Dec. 28 after Marcus Kruger was injured. But he was a minus-2 in his past 10 games, earning him the healthy scratch against the Ducks on Saturday night.

“He hasn’t been as active as he needs to be, and that’s one area where he can help himself and help our team game,” Quenneville said. “Defensively he’s been OK. But he brought us energy right off the bat with him involved in the attack and with the puck.”

Gustafsson knows he has to regain that groove he was in when he started with the Hawks.

“First 15 games I played pretty well, and I think I can come back to that game,” he said. “I think I lost something with my gap and my stick and stuff like that – how to use my stick. I have to come back to that game and be more on the game all the time.”

Local boy makes good: Forward Vinnie Hinostroza, who did not score in four games of limited ice time (8:46 a game) with the Hawks in October, returned to the Hawks after scoring six goals and 11 points in his past 10 games with Rockford. Hinostroza played on the fourth line against the Maple Leafs on Monday night.

“I definitely think I’m a lot more prepared than I was the last time,” said Hinostroza, who has 10 goals and 27 points in 41 games with the Ice Hogs this season. “Played a lot more pro games [with Rockford] and got to know the game a lot better. I’m thankful and excited for the opportunity.”

out atrocious recently.

That’s will and physicality just as much as the strategy of going over the screen, under the screen and hedging.

If it continues to be a problem, especially late in games, Hoiberg has to be more willing to sit Gasol and take at least one of the problems out of the equation.

This won’t solve all the defensive liabilities hitting this team lately, but it’s a big one.

Offensively, Hoiberg admittedly has dummy-downed the playbook this season, stressing pace and spacing. The problem, however, is the two best offensive weapons in Butler and Rose are both isolation players, and want to sink back into that mentality late in games.

Hoiberg discussed it last week, and although he knows isolation is what fuels Rose and Butler, neither needs to let the shot clock tick down to seven or less before attacking. There’s no rule against going iso with 12 seconds left, allowing a kick-out pass for an open 3 with time to spare.

If Hoiberg can fix those major flaws, who knows? But it’s definitely his to have to fix.

This is not Fred Hoiberg’s mess.

Actually, on the blame-game scale, Hoiberg falls a comfortable fourth behind front office, ownership and players.

Unfortunately for the first-year Bulls coach it’s his clean-up job.

Forget the ugly 27-25 record that stares out from Hoiberg’s résumé so far. The once very defensive-minded Bulls entered the All-Star break tied for 10th in defensive efficiency, and even more unsettling, were 26th in offensive efficiency.

Considering the front office publicly – and unfairly – questioned the offensive aptitude of former coach Tom Thibodeau, all but guaranteeing improvements in that department, it’s a bad look for everyone involved right about now.

Coincidentally, in Thibodeau’s final season in the coaching chair, the Bulls finished 10th in offensive efficiency. But who’s keeping score?

One positive Hoiberg has going for him as the second half starts up is “player confidence’’ isn’t a stat, because

“He checked every other box,” Phillips said. “He had played and coached for arguably the best college coach ever.

He had the family pedigree because of Doug. He was going to be comfortable recruiting at a school with tough academics. More than anything, though, I felt a connection when we sat down and talked. It was two Chicago kids who understood one another, and I was convinced he had what it would take to get the job done.”

••• Phillips, who attended Illinois and started out as an assistant basketball coach after college, came to Northwestern from Northern Illinois in 2008 and watched Carmody inch closer to the NCAA tournament grail.

“Bill is a great basketball coach,” Phillips said. “He did a wonderful job getting us from Point A to Point B. But he just couldn’t quite get to Point C. I cried when I told him I was making a change, I really did. One person doesn’t fail. We all did. I felt, to some extent, that I had let him down. But we need to get to Point C. That’s what I hired Chris to do.”

When he arrived, Collins immediately addressed concerns with the school’s recruiting budget and travel arrangements.

“I knew from my Duke experience how much that stuff mattered, especially in recruiting,” he said. “I told Jim we needed to get our boosters to help. The team needed to fly privately to games.

My staff and I needed to be able to get to places quickly when recruiting. The funny thing is, as soon as he began talking to people to try to raise the extra money, their reaction was, ‘Of course, where have you been in the past?’ ” Collins is in his third season. The Wildcats were 14-19 and 15-17 his first two seasons. After Saturday’s 58-56 win over Illinois, they are 17-9 overall, 5-8 in the Big Ten this season. Collins put together a soft nonconference schedule and it produced a 13-1 start.

“We needed some confidence and, frankly, even if we don’t make the

I tell Chris is that he and his players aren’t responsible for past history.”

This year’s team was hurt when sophomore forward Vic Law, probably Collins’ most high-profile recruit, had labrum surgery on his shoulder in November, forcing him to redshirt.

Senior center Alex Olah broke his foot and missed the first six games of the Big Ten season. Olah and Tre Demps are the only key players who will graduate after this season, and Collins believes he has another good recruiting class coming in.

“As an alumnus, I like what I’m seeing,” said Drew Crawford, a redshirt senior on Collins’ first team who is playing in Israel. “When he first got the job, I was pretty certain I was going to play my fifth year as a graduate student somewhere else. But as soon as I sat down with him, he captured me. I knew I wanted to play for him.”

Crawford and his teammates noticed one difference between Carmody and Collins right away. “Coach Carmody ran the Princeton offense, which is intricate and detailed and hard to get right,” Crawford said. “So we spent a lot of practice time on offense. With Coach Collins it was defense, defense, defense.”

Shurna, who is playing in Spain, watches games on delay via his iPad. So does Crawford. They often text with one another about their alma mater.

“I check the score first,” said Shurna, Northwestern’s all-time leading scorer (2,038 points). “If it’s a tough loss, I don’t AP photo watch.

American Mikaela Shiffrin competes during the first run of the World Cup slalom race Monday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. She won the event.

WORLD CUP SKIING

Shiffrin wins in first race after 2 months

By DANIELLA MATAR The Associated Press

CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland – Mikaela Shiffrin is definitely back.

Two perfect runs saw the American win a women’s World Cup slalom by almost a half-second Monday in her first race after two months out with injury.

Crossing the line smiling after her second run, Shiffrin turned to look at the timings board then put her head in her hands at the realization she had won.

“I came in blind a little bit,” she said. “I knew my training skiing was some of the best I was doing, but I just wasn’t sure. It was kind of close your eyes and go, see what happens at the end of the run.

“I didn’t know what to expect from the rest of the girls. I was just watching on television and wasn’t sure of the pace. I could see it but it’s different from being there.”

It was Shiffrin’s first race since tearing a ligament in her right knee in December. The Olympic and world slalom champion started skiing again only two weeks ago.

Shiffrin won two slaloms in Aspen, Colorado, and both by big margins, before the training mishap in Sweden. She has won her last six slaloms stretching back to last season.

This was Shiffrin’s 18th win on the circuit, moving her even with Tamara McKinney for the second-most wins by an American woman. She turns 21 next month.

Leading after the first run, Shiffrin

finished 0.45 seconds faster than Nastasia Noens of France and 0.5 ahead of Marie-Michele Gagnon of Canada as several of her rivals struggled in difficult conditions.

Three of the top 10 after the first run did not finish: Michelle Gisin, Petra Vlhova and Erin Mielzynski. Lila Lapanja of the United States also skied out.

“That was a tough race, tough for all the girls,” Shiffrin said. “Some of the girls had really bad visibility. I had OK visibility, I was struggling to see but at least I could see a bit. I’m relieved with the luck of having better visibility.

“I was at the top, looking at the start and I was thinking, ‘Oh it doesn’t look too bad.’ Then I closed my eyes for about a minute, visualizing the course, and then when I opened them again I was like, ‘Hey, where did the slope go?’ ” World Cup slalom leader Frida Hansdotter finished sixth, 5.89 behind Shiffrin. The Swede has 545 points, 99 more than second-best Veronika Velez-Zuzulova of Slovakia, who was 10th.

Shiffrin, who has won the past three titles, is 245 points behind Hansdotter.

There are only two slalom races left along with a parallel event this month in Stockholm that counts in the slalom standings.

“The slalom globe’s out. I’m going to focus on GS a little bit now, try to see how quickly I can get back, see how many points I can get overall,” Shiffrin said.

12 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A BELVIDERE NORTH REGIONAL

Jacobs takes DeKalb to wire in loss Turnover down stretch costs Eagles chance to capture lead

By JOHN BUTKUS

sports@daily-chronicle.com BELVIDERE – With the ball and a chance to take the lead in the closing seconds, the Jacobs girls basketball team committed a turnover.

The Golden Eagles went on to lose, 38-35, to DeKalb in the first round of the Class 4A Belvidere North Regional on Monday night.

There was less than 10 seconds left in the game when DeKalb (8-21) held a 36-35 lead, but Jacobs (10-17) had a chance to take the lead. That’s when a costly turnJoe Benoit over was committed, leaving 4.7 seconds on the clock. Those final moments portrayed the way the rest of the game went, where both teams traded leads.

Jacobs coach Joe Benoit said he was proud of the way the team fought throughout the game.

“I thought there were a couple of times where DeKalb made a couple of runs and it looked like we were going to fade away, but our kids really cared and their hard work always comes through and it pushed us back in the game,” Benoit said. “Talia Surges put the team on her back in the first half and we rode her momentum into the second half. We had our chances, and when the ball falls short, the ball falls short. Unfortunately in the state tournament, when that happens, you go home on the first night.”

Heading into halftime, eighth-seeded Jacobs held a 20-18 lead on ninth-seeded DeKalb after two 3-pointers from Surges. Surges had 14 points at halftime and looked to be starting to heat up from behind the arc, forcing DeKalb coach Heath Kent to make a key halftime adjustment.

“The only real defensive adjustment we made was how we were going to guard No. 2 (Surges).” Kent said. “Hailee (Vaughn-Dawkins) did a nice job shutting her down. We knew we had to deny and face-guard her

Surges finished as the leading scorer for Jacobs with 14 points.

Kent knew his team had a height advantage over Jacobs, and the Barbs tried to work the ball inside as much as possible.

“We tried to get the ball to Ajah (Davis) and Alyassa (Burgess) and take advantage of that. We had some spurts where our guards tried to

force it a little too much, but once we settled down we started to convert those passes and we were successful again.”

Burgess was the leading scorer for the Barbs with 20 points. Davis was tied on the score sheet with Cory Mata with seven points.

DeKalb advances to the semifinals to play No. 1 seed Huntley at 6 p.m.
