Good morning, McHenry County ...

Two local races among state’s richest Two March primary races are in the top 20 of total funds per race for Illinois House and Senate races, according to Aldertrack’s 2016 Illinois Racing Form.

The Republican primary to replace Dan Duffy in the 26th Senate District ranks No. 8, and the Republican primary for Mike Tryon’s seat in the 66th House District ranks 13th.

In the 26th primary, Dan McConchie, Martin McLaughlin and Casey Urlacher are seeking the GOP nomination. The total funds in the 26th is $373,516.17, according to Aldertrack. That number represents, for all three candidates, the money spent in 2015, cash on hand at the end of 2015, reported $1,000-plus donations in 2016, independent expenditures and $1,000-plus expenditures made by political action committees.

McConchie’s share of the total funds ($146,675.85) dominates in this race, largely be-

SNOWMOBILE DUI CHARGE

ILLINOIS BUDGET SPEECH

Police charged a 34-year-old Spring Grove man rescued Monday evening after driving his snowmobile into open water with driving under the influence of alcohol. Authorities said Kyle Smart, who also was charged with careless operation of a snowmobile, had a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit. Story, Page A4.

SIX TEAMS ADVANCE

Six area girls basketball teams – Johnsburg, Prairie Ridge, DundeeCrown, Huntley, Hampshire and Crystal Lake South – advanced in the regional playoffs with wins Tuesday night as eight total teams still are alive in the playoffs.

Illinois is eight months into fiscal 2016 without a state budget, but that won’t stop Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday from giving his fiscal 2017 budget address in Springfield.

“That’s how messed up this is.

We are the ultimate freak show,” state Rep. Jack Franks said late last year about the prospects of a 2017 state budget address happening without a 2016 budget in place.

HOSPITAL IN HUNTLEY NEAR COMPLETION

Centegra officials say $230 million facility is about 95 percent done

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Rooms originally mocked up with cardboard furnishings soon will be fully functioning medical facilities as Centegra Health System prepares to open the doors to its new hospital in Huntley.

Centegra Hospital – Huntley, the third hospital for McHenry County’s largest health care provider, is about

95 percent completed and slated for an August opening, Centegra Chief Executive Officer Michael Eesley said.

The 128-bed facility near the intersection of Algonquin and Haligus roads still has construction workers scattered throughout the facility completing finishing touches, but the bulk of construction of the new facility is complete.

Sheila Senn, Centegra senior vice

president and chief operating officer for the Huntley hospital, said furniture and artwork is set to be delivered next month.

Centegra officials say the extensive planning process, which started with cardboard mock-ups in a work room at Centegra Hospital – McHenry and continued with feedback sessions in the early stages of construction in Huntley, has helped the process move smoothly.

Eesley said construction that was originally planned to take 28 months is now scheduled to take 24, and costs are projected to be more than $3 million less than the $233 million budget.

“That was very helpful because we got in here and there’s not a lot of change orders, not a lot of things happening where we would have to redesign,” Eesley said.

Man faces DUI charge in snowmobile incident Spring Grove resident fell into Nippersink Lake when his blood-alcohol content was 0.195

of alcohol and operating a snowmobile with a blood-alcohol content more than 0.08, both Class A misdemeanors, Illinois Conservation Police Sgt. Rich Riedel said.

Smart also was charged with careless operation of a snowmobile.

Riedel said a conservation officer who responded to the hospital two hours after the incident determined that Smart’s blood-alcohol content was 0.195.

If convicted of the most serious offense, Smart could face a $2,500 fine and up to a year in jail.

Fox Lake Fire Protection District officials said Smart was driving a snowmobile alone about 6:30 p.m. when he drove off the ice and into open water.

Two divers pulled him out of the water, and he was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry in serious condition as hypothermia had started to develop.

Riedel said Monday’s rescue underscores the need for residents to avoid riding snowmobiles on lakes and rivers.

He said changes in the temperature

have made ice freeze inconsistently.

“The ice can melt very quick,” Riedel said. “What could have been good ice yesterday is not going to be good ice today.”

He pointed to a Sunday night incident in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where a 53-year-old Wheeling man died and another man suffered hypothermia after their snowmobiles hit open water.

“Because our snowmobile season has been so minimal, people are just itching to get out there,” Riedel said.

“People are willing to take risks to put miles on the snowmobiles.

“It’s a bad situation.”

Police investigate Friday at the scene of a fatal car crash at the intersection of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive in Huntley. The Huntley Fire Protection District was dispatched to the scene about 4:50 a.m. for a rollover crash with entrapment. A Honda CRV appeared to have impacted a traffic light and rolled across multiple lanes before coming to a stop, according to police.

Man who died in crash was driven home after 1st wreck

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Gilberts-area man who died after a pair of what police believe might have been intentional crashes suffered from mental illness and was picked up by a passing motorist and driven home before the second crash, police said Tuesday.

According to Kane County court records, David C. Flight, who was disabled because of bipolar and anxiety disorders, had a guardian appointed to manage his affairs in October 2014.

Investigators initially thought a few hours passed between the time Flight, 56, crashed into a traffic light pole and when he returned to the area in a different vehicle and crashed into a second pole and rolled his vehicle onto Route 47.

“We think the time frame will be even less,” Huntley Deputy Police Chief Mike Klunk said. “It sounds like as soon as he got there he got into another vehicle.”

Flight first crashed a 2003 Saturn

into a traffic light at the intersection of Freeman Road and Factory Shops Boulevard, sending the car airborne and off the road across a frozen pond.

Klunk said at an unknown time a passer-by gave Flight a ride to his home about two miles away in unincorporated Gilberts.

“The person believed him to be cold and picked him up,” Klunk said.

Huntley police were dispatched about 4:37 a.m. to the site of the first crash where they found the unoccupied Saturn and began searching for the driver. Some 12 minutes later, police received a call for the second crash about a half-mile west.

Police said Flight had driven a 2002 Honda CRV at a high rate of speed into a traffic control signal and rolled several times over four or five lanes of traffic before coming to rest in the southbound lanes of Route 47 at Jim Dhamer Drive.

Klunk said Flight was found in the back of the CRV. The Kane County Coroner’s Office declared him dead at 5:13 a.m. at the scene.

Police on Saturday received video of the second crash that was recorded on a dashboard camera of a work vehicle that was driving south on Route 47, Klunk said. Police also interviewed family members who lived with Flight and whose vehicles he used in the crashes.

Klunk said the family knew Flight was missing, as was the Saturn. They did not realize the CRV was missing, he said. Both sets of keys were found on Flight.

A family member reached by the Northwest Herald declined to comment.

Huntley police have not had contact with Flight before, Klunk said. Kane County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Pat Gengler said his office took a missing persons report on Flight in 2014.

The Kane County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy Tuesday that showed Flight died of multiple injuries because of the crash.

However, officials are withholding a ruling on the manner of death pending toxicology results.

Still, Tuesday’s decision was good news for Fabrik President Keith Wagner.

“Everything helps,” he said. “And it’s a community involvement issue for us more than it’s the actual dollars, and just the concern for economic development in the area is good to see.”

Beyond local factors, Wagner said he’s waiting to hear from the state, namely whether the Illinois EDGE tax credit program will be funded.

Fabrik was named a recipient of the program in November.

“The local groups have done what they can, and we’re doing what we can to be involved in this community,” Wagner said. “The state did what they said, which was come up with the EDGE tax credit for us, but they need to budget.”

Including District 156’s decision, nine of those entities have approved an abatement for the new property, 1515 Miller Parkway.

McHENRY – After initially declining to do so, the McHenry Community High School District 156 Board decided Tuesday to take part in a property tax abatement deal for Fabrik Molded Plastics, although its contribution will be less than what was originally requested.

The board in December voted down an item – five voted against and two abstained – that would have meant abating about $7,000 in property taxes a year as part of a tax incentive program designed to keep the family-owned and operated McHenry manufacturer in town.

The item was brought back Tuesday, but included only 30 percent of the originally requested abatement, which equates to a property tax savings for

Fabrik of about $2,100 a year from District 156 for 10 years.

“One of the reasons we landed on that [number] – it was really close to what the city is abating,” District 156 Superintendent Mike Roberts said.

“The city’s abatement is about $2,123 per year.”

Members Tim Byers, Michael Lovitsch and Dawn Bremer voted in favor, while Timothy Hying voted against the item. Gary Kinshofer and Ronald Fischer abstained, and Board President Steve Bellmore was absent.

“We want to help, but not to the extent they wanted us to,” Byers said.

He added he always prefers to abate taxes across the board, but under the current circumstances of trying to help keep a large employer in the area, the new option was reasonable.

LOCAL BRIEFS Sheep escape Marengo barn fire that caused $10,000 in damage

MARENGO – About a dozen sheep were able to escape a fire that an official said caused more than $10,000 in damage to a barn Tuesday outside Marengo.

Marengo fire and rescue crews were dispatched just before 6:40 a.m. to the 7400 block of South Route 23 after a neighbor called to report the fire. When crews arrived, they found a roughly 1,750-square-foot pole barn with smoke showing through the roof and doors, Chief Bob Bradbury said.

Several sheep had already fled the barn by the time firefighters arrived, he said.

Firefighters entering the building found the east half fully engulfed in fire, Bradbury said. They extinguished the blaze in 15 minutes.

The fire remains under investigation, but Bradbury classified it as accidental.

He said it appears a heat lamp might have been to blame.

Bradbury said the sheep would be able to return to the barn, and none of the hay inside was damaged.

Man hospitalized after crash shut down Route 176 on Tuesday

CRYSTAL LAKE – One man was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock after being extricated from his car in a crash that shut down Route 176 for about 45 minutes on Tuesday evening, a Crystal Lake fire official said.

Crystal Lake Fire Department Battalion Chief William Whyte said the man’s injuries were not severe.

Whyte said the crash, which happened near 1051 Route 176 shortly after 5 p.m., was between a pickup truck and a fourdour sedan.

The man who was driving the sedan had to be extricated, and the driver of the truck was signed off. No one else was involved, Whyte said.

Officials shut down the road in order to extricate the man. Two other minor crashes happened on Route 176 around the same time, likely because of poor road conditions because of snow, Whyte said. Both cars were towed because of damage. The Crystal Lake Police Department also responded to the scene.

“When we discover ways to be more efficient in the work flow, we’re definitely trying to bring that back to our existing facilities.”

Continued from page A3 The hospital’s first floor will be dedicated to emergency services and medical imaging; the second floor will have surgical operations and intensive care units.

The third floor will be dedicated to child labor and delivery, with the fourth and fifth floors providing inpatient care, including cardiac monitoring and a hip and knee replacement center.

Throughout all five floors, rooms will have an innovative design that came through staff input, such as operating rooms where devices hang from the ceiling or private nurseries where mothers can bond with their hospitalized infants.

“Being able to implement those new ideas and new technologies is a huge opportunity,” Senn said. “You don’t have those built-in parameters of the physical space.”

With the physical characteristics of the building mostly in place, officials are now focusing on building the hospital’s culture.

Centegra Senior Vice President of Human Resources Berni Szczepanski said the company is recruiting for about 500 new positions, about 50 percent to 60 percent of which will be filled by current Centegra employees.

The recruiting process began in the fall, and interviews are ongoing. The hiring team will first focus on positions that require more training or are harder to fill, and other positions may be filled closer to early summer.

Szczepanski said Centegra will continue to use the peer interviewing process it has maintained for more than a decade, in which an applicant has

a dialogue with four or five potential co-workers before a decision about hiring is made. Eesley points to the process as a main cause of the system’s low turnover.

“That’s proven to be very successful for our retention,” Szczepanski said, adding that the system has about a 94 percent retention rate. “It’s really a combination of the leader plus their peers. The things they’re looking for are really values-driven, in addition to the skills.”

Once the hospital opens, current Centegra staff will simply have to integrate with new hires.

Szczepanski said new employees will go through a general orientation as well as one specific to the Huntley hospital and one for their department.

Officials are hoping the upfront work will make for a smooth process once the hospital opens.

While they’re hoping that Centegra’s culture will seep into the new hospital, they also want to bring any lessons from the new hospital to the older facilities.

“When we discover ways to be more efficient in the work flow, we’re definitely trying to bring that back to our existing facilities,” Senn said. “Obviously, we want that efficiency, but we’re going to have a lot of staff moving back and forth between the facilities, and we want their work flow to be seamless.”

increase, police believe the issue will persist.

Police have been ticketing some cars parked in driveways, near intersections or next to fire hydrants and have put notices on cars asking drivers to be respectful of nearby property, Klunk said.

School District 158 spokesman Dan Armstrong said the school has been working with police and is in the early stages of exploring parking options.

The school board will vote Thursday on whether to approve a contract with HR Green for a study that would look at what it might cost to add parking spots beyond the current 700.

“We’re most likely never going to be in a position to offer every student that might be interested in parking a parking spot,” Armstrong said. “We’re pretty limited in what we might be able to do, but certainly we want to be good neighbors and work with all of those different constituencies.”

Two people were confirmed killed in a fatal crash on eastbound Interstate 90 near Marengo on Tuesday night, an Illinois State Police official said.

Illinois State Police District 15 Sgt. John Dabrowski said the crash at 5:50 p.m. involved one passenger car and two semitrucks.

The crash still was under investigation late Tuesday night, and the identities of those killed were not available.

The crash shut down the interstate for more than four hours at mile post 32.75 as authorities investigated.

It is not yet known if weather was a factor, but icy roads on Tuesday night led to a number of crashes around McHenry County.

HUNTLEY – Police have proposed a parking ban between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. for certain Sun City neighborhoods in response to resident complaints about Huntley High School students parking on their streets.

The proposal would restrict parking in neighborhoods 23, 27, 28 and 38, which border the high school. The Committee of the Whole will discuss the proposal at its meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Huntley Deputy Police Chief Michael Klunk said the department has been getting complaints from residents about students parking on streets and cutting through neighborhoods since September.

Village documents indicate that between five and 15 vehicles have been parking within these neighborhoods on school days, with the school’s open campus and blended learning program

potentially contributing to the problem.

“Honestly, our biggest problem is anybody trespassing through private property, and that doesn’t seem to be stopping,” Klunk said. “We know there are legitimate reasons why students do drive and are not able to get parking permits. However, we also don’t want to have a community where people are violating private property issues.”

Klunk said police have been regularly meeting with Huntley School District 158 officials and Sun City residents, culminating in a February meeting with all involved entities.

Several residents also complained about the issue at the Feb. 4 Committee of the Whole meeting, saying there had been minor confrontations between residents and students.

Documents say the police department increased patrols in the area and the school sent out two emails regarding the situation, but with the high school’s enrollment projected to

Road conditions lead to crashes across county 2 taken to hospital, 2 treated at scene of crash on Route 120 in McHenry

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com A round of snow Tuesday afternoon made for a dangerous evening for McHenry County commuters as public safety officials responded to crashes around the area caused by icy roads.

One crash happened at 7:13 p.m. on Route 120 east of Chapel Hill Road, where two people were taken to the hospital, two were treated at the scene and two others were uninjured after a two-vehicle crash, McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief David Harwood said.

The male driver of a Volkswagen Jetta had to be extricated, and Harwood said he was stable.

The driver of the other vehicle involved and one passenger were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office assisted and reduced traffic to one

lane in each direction as first responders worked on the crash. Traffic was significantly backed up because of the response, and both cars were heavily damaged.

The crash came after the city issued an alert to drivers to avoid Route 120 and Elm Street throughout the city.

“Route 120 was a sheet of ice,” Harwood said, adding that trucks were working on the road later in the evening and conditions were slowly improving.

McHenry firefighters also responded to a three-vehicle crash about 6 p.m. near the VFW on Route 120, where a family of four was evaluated but not taken to the hospital.

A crash shortly before 8 p.m. at River and Charles Miller Highway did not have any injuries, Harwood said.

Traffic in Marengo also was disrupted around 7:30 p.m. when a three-vehicle crash on Route 23 just south of River Road shut the road down for more

than a half hour, Marengo Fire Capt.

Daniel Klenske said.

Despite the high-speed crash, no one was transported with injuries, he said.

In Harvard, a one-vehicle crash near the Moose Lounge at 22500 Route 173 about 7:15 p.m. did not injure anyone but sheared a telephone pole in half, Harvard Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Dan Danczyk said. The wires remained intact.

A three-car crash at Route 47 and

Algonquin Road in Huntley about 6:15 p.m. did not lead to any injuries, and a reported rollover on Route 120 and Sullivan Lake Boulevard in Lakemoor about 6 p.m. led first responders to a car on its side that had been abandoned, fire officials said.

The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District responded to a crash on Route 31 and Ames and another at Route 176 and Valley View Road.

A fire official said nobody was transported from either crash.

VIEWS Joan Oliver Thank you, Cam Newton.

As a fan of the National Football League, though even that is becoming harder to be these days, I eagerly looked forward to the Super Bowl between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.

I don’t have anything against either team, and there are a few ex-Bears on the Panthers, so I figured I would be rooting for them.

I even tried to find reasons to like Newton, the Panthers’ quarterback.

To me, he seemed a bit cocky, but that is often the case with players of that position.

Then there was his work with children and his desire to be a role model.

That helped me warm up to him a little more.

Of course, the game itself didn’t go at all the way I’m sure Newton had hoped.

Here’s a team that went practically undefeated in the regular season making mistake after mistake, and ultimately losing 24-10 to the league’s

best defense. The Panthers faced real adversity and they … folded.

So I suppose it wasn’t surprising when Newton sulked during the postgame interview and then walked out after three minutes. That happens, and usually the offender comes back later and apologizes. Not Cam. Later in the week, he offered this bit of insight: “Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.”

Of course, that’s not how it works.

We all know that Newton plays with emotion, and no one would expect him not to. But being gracious in the face of defeat is a sign of strength, not of weakness.

If all goes well, Newton will take the time during the offseason to lick his wounds and learn from this. At 26 and with his talent, no doubt he will get another shot at it.

Then he really can be a role model for the children he wants to help. After all, how we deal with the setbacks in life oftentimes is far more important than how we handle the successes.

What’s a columnist to do when she runs out of ideas? Or, more accurately, she can’t come up with anything because an illness banishes her to bed rest.

So went the past few days as I battled what I’m not quite sure was – but not completely ruling out – the flu. I didn’t get the annual shot that the fine folks at the health department caution us all to do, so I suppose I brought this upon myself.

Happily, it wasn’t the worst illness I’ve faced. I usually grade the severity of my ailments by how bad the fever is and whether I find myself passing the time by conjugating Spanish verbs.

Doesn’t everyone do strange things in their feverish states? OK, maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, there was none of that.

But there was a great deal of fatigue, so much so that making the trip downstairs to use the facilities seemed to be the next best thing to running a marathon.

Amid all of this, it’s easy to see that forming an opinion would have been quite the accomplishment. I pondered this more than once as I stared at the ceiling between naps.

Just when I thought all was lost, there it was in the sports section.

City plans road projects for summer Council approves work on Bull Valley, Curran roads as part of capital improvements

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

other projects that were “not nearly as deserving as someone’s home flooding” were included sooner, Curry said, pointing to items such as new carpeting for the council chambers or new information kiosks for the downtown.

“It’s kind of a tragedy,” he said, adding the only thing worse than water in a home is fire.

The city doesn’t have enough money to cover all of the projects identified in the plan, but with a new fund balance policy now on the books, Glab wants to see some of the city’s surplus savings going to road projects, particularly local street improvements that the city can’t get grants to help pay for.

The city’s fund balance included about $10 million at the end of the 2014-15 budget year, about $3.8 million

more than the minimum suggested in the fund balance policy approved earlier this month, according to city documents.

The approved capital improvement plan includes a recommendation of about $1 million for the street improvement program, a number that is double last year’s program, City Administrator Derik Morefield has said.

Derik But that million is Morefield hardly a dent in the $48.4 million in local street improvements that city staff has identified, Glab said.

“You can’t do a million a year when you’re that behind on streets,” he said, adding the city also would be able to

get a better per-block cost if it expanded the scope of the project or did roads that were contiguous to each other.

The plan also suggests an increased pavement maintenance program of $50,000, $1.28 million worth of improvements to Bull Valley Road from Curran Road to Draper Road and at its intersection with Curran, and safety improvements to the S-curve on Curran.

The council unanimously approved its final phase of engineering for Bull Valley and Curran roads Monday evening, awarding the contract worth nearly $120,000 to HR Green.

The goal is to take the project out to bid in April with construction to start in mid-June, Morefield said, adding the work may continue into 2017.

ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – More money should be going to road projects, a McHenry alderman told the City Council on Monday evening.

Alderman Andy Glab was one of two who voted against a five-year capital improvement plan that identifies an estimated $85.3 million worth of road projects, park improvements and public safety changes.

The flooding that has plagued Lakeland Park also should be higher on the list of priorities, said Alderman Scott Curry, the other council member who voted against the plan.

About $500,000 is included in the last “catch-all year” of the plan while

STATE

Rauner to detail next budget plan

By IVAN MORENO

spending policies continue.

One of Rauner’s favorite talking points is that if Illinois’ economy grew at the national average during the past 15 years, the state would’ve collected $19 billion more to invest on things such as schools and infrastructure.

“We’ve got to become a growth state – pro-business, pro-agriculture, pro-investment. And we’ve got to shrink our wasteful spending and our bureaucracy,” Rauner told the Illinois Pork Producers’ meeting Tuesday.

Expect to hear that line again Wednesday.

He’s also used the same phrase to swipe at the individual income tax increase that Democrats passed in 2011 and ended last year, saying that it would’ve been unnecessary if the state’s economy was more robust.

The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is preparing to give lawmakers his spending plan for next fiscal year, even though the protracted budget battle over the current year isn’t close to playing out.

The state is in its eighth month without a budget, and is running up a huge tab because the state has been ordered by courts to keep many essential services running, The sticking points in the Republican governor’s battle with the Democrats haven’t changed: He wants to overhaul term limits, change how legislative districts are drawn and curb the union power. Democrats say what Rauner wants needs to be debated separately from the budget.

Dems urge Kirk to take stand on Scalia nominee

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The Democrats vying for a chance to replace U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk pressed the Illinois Republican on Tuesday to take a definitive position on who should choose a replacement for the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

The three Democratic candidates in next month’s primary – U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, former Chicago Urban League CEO Andrea Zopp and state Sen. Napoleon Harris – said during a live-streamed Chicago Sun-Times endorsement session that the nomination process should begin immediately under President Barack Obama.

“It tugs at the democracy of our nation to not have this justice appoint-

ed,” Harris said.

Scalia’s death on Saturday triggered political debates nationwide, but the issue is especially tricky for Kirk, who is one of most vulnerable Republican senators in the 2016 election and seeking a second term in Obama’s home state.

As other Senate Republicans in tight contests lined up behind the idea that Obama’s successor should nominate Scalia’s replacement, Kirk shied away from the issue.

“The political debate erupting about prospective nominees to fill the vacancy is unseemly,” Kirk said in a statement released by his campaign Tuesday, “let us take the time to honor his life before the inevitable debate erupts.”

He didn’t elaborate on when he would take a position.

The funeral for the 79-year-old Scalia is scheduled for Saturday. His casket will be on public view in the U.S. Supreme Court’s Great Hall on Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has said the winner of the presidency in November, should fill the vacancy. GOP incumbents facing tough races in other states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Ohio, have followed suit.

But Obama has said it’s his constitutional duty and Democrats have said that denying Obama the chance to pick a replacement would be an unprecedented step.

Zopp, a Harvard Law School graduate, said that no matter who picks the nominee, there’s no guarantee of how a new justice would evaluate cases –

and jurists’ views can evolve. She said for Republicans to hold up the process now would be a mistake.

“It is so typical of the challenges that we have in Washington,” she said.

Duckworth said the fact that Kirk had not weighed in on the replacement process was “a disservice” to the public.

The candidates also briefly touched on gun violence and how the U.S. should deal with the Islamic State during the endorsement session. They are scheduled to participate in a debate Friday evening hosted by Chicago’s WLS-TV. The winner of the March 15 primary is likely to face Kirk, who’s considered a heavy favorite to win a GOP primary against lesser known candidate James Marter, a businessman.

Turkish soldiers take position Tuesday near Kilis, Turkey, near northern Syria. A Turkish official said his country is pushing the case for ground operations in Syria, hoping for the involvement of the U.S. and other allies in an international coalition against the Islamic State group.

Turkey pushing case for ground operations in Syria The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Turkey said Tuesday that it is pressing for ground operations in Syria, hoping for the involvement of the U.S. and other allies as a force dominated by Kurdish fighters pushed through rebel lines and captured more territory near the Turkish border.

In Damascus, the U.N. envoy to Syria suggested that humanitarian aid would be allowed into several besieged areas Wednesday, calling it the “duty of the government of Syria.”

“Tomorrow we test this,” Staffan de Mistura said after meeting with Syria’s foreign minister. The U.N. later announced the government of President Bashar Assad has approved access to seven such areas across the country and that convoys would head out in the coming days.

De Mistura has been trying to secure aid deliveries to improve the chances of restarting peace talks before the end of February.

But those efforts have been clouded by the intense fighting north of Aleppo, where various forces backed by regional and international rivals are clashing over a crucial strip of land linking Syria’s largest city to the border with Turkey.

Syrian government troops and allied militias, backed by heavy Russian bombardment, are closing in on the area, hoping to seal off parts of Aleppo held by rebels since 2012 in what would be a major blow to the opposition.

Syria’s state news agency SANA and oppo-

sition activists said government forces have seized two more villages.

U.S.-backed Kurdish forces, which had mainly battled the Islamic State group and remained largely neutral in the civil war, are advancing in the same region, fighting rebels and other insurgents opposed to Assad in a bid to expand a nearby enclave.

A Turkish official told reporters in Istanbul that his country is pushing for ground operations in Syria, hoping for the involvement of the U.S. and other allies against IS. “Without ground operations, it is impossible to stop the fighting in Syria,” the official said, adding that Turkey has pressed the issue in recent discussions with the U.S. and other Western nations.

But he ruled out the possibility of Turkey undertaking unilateral action or the prospect of a joint Saudi-Turkish venture without broader consensus in the U.S.-led coalition against IS. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the issue.

In Lebanon, the leader of Hezbollah said Turkey and Saudi Arabia are using the fight against IS as a “pretext” to launch a ground operation in Syria.

Both countries are ready to start a regional and international war because of defeats suffered by rebels they support, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said, addressing supporters in Beirut via satellite link from his hideout elsewhere in the city. Hezbollah’s fighters are in Syria, supporting Assad’s forces.

Investigation precedes Supreme Court nod

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Did you ever buy porn, sniff glue, have sex in junior high?

Exactly how many times?

White House lawyers are scouring a life’s worth of information about President Barack Obama’s potential picks for the Supreme Court, from the mundane to the intensely personal. In trying to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, the president could alter the balance of the court for decades – but only if he can get his nominee through Republicans in the Senate.

Prospective justices are put through the nation’s most thorough background check, an invasive process where nothing is off-limits. After all, a surprise dredged up later could scuttle confirmation. So candidates’ taxes, writings, childhoods, business dealings, medical histories and, yes, love lives, are all scrutinized for potential red flags.

“The idea that you miss something that later torpedoed the nomination – that’s a nightmare,” said Jack Quinn, former White House counsel to President Bill Clinton.

Just ask Judge Douglas Ginsburg.

Nine days after President Ronald Reagan nominated him for the high court, it

The White House was jolted into action after learning of Scalia’s death, officials said, summoning administration lawyers over Presidents Day weekend to begin searching for a suitable replacement. Obama, traveling in California, has been working with top advisers on his list while aides feel out senators about their willingness to hold a vote.

Millions of Americans with security clearances or government jobs are asked probing questions about their loyalty, reliability and character in FBI background checks. But for Supreme Court contenders, the inquiry goes far deeper.

Justice Anthony Kennedy sat through 10-plus hours of FBI interviews – and a three-hour session with the attorAP photo ney general and White House counsel in Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s courtroom chair is draped in black Tuesday at the which all “conceivable no-holds-barred questions were asked,” according to a Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. memorandum archived in the Reagan was revealed he had smoked marijuana could find a fresh rationale for dragging Library. as a law professor at Harvard and he was the process out until Obama’s term ends Among the questions Kennedy was forced to bow out. in January 2017. asked: Have you ever engaged in kinky For Obama, who has successfully “I am going to present somebody who sex?

Current and retired justices are expected to line the marble steps as the casket is carried through the court’s main entrance, below the inscription “Equal Justice Under Law.” Pallbearers are likely to include Scalia’s current and former law clerks.

The funeral mass Saturday will take place at 10 a.m. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. It will be open to family and friends.

Burial plans have not been released, but court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said it would be closed to press coverage.

The details came Tuesday after Scalia’s courtroom chair was draped in black to mark his death, a Supreme

Ted Cruz’s GOP rivals pounce on trust issues

By STEVE PEOPLES and SCOTT BAUER The Associated Press

BEAUFORT, S.C. – Ted Cruz is getting hammered by his Republican rivals over what they call a pattern of unethical campaign tactics and inaccurate statements by the Texas senator who has shaped his White House bid around trust.

Cruz has had some trouble getting all his facts straight in debates, has used campaign tactics that some find suspicious and had an ad by an outside group temporarily pulled for questions about its accuracy. His opponents are blunter, calling him simply a liar.

The Texas senator, whose 2015 autobiography is titled, “A Time for Truth,” shrugged off the criticism Tuesday while campaigning for Saturday’s South Carolina Republican primary.

“Both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have this very strange pattern where if you point to their actual record, if you point to the words that have come out of their mouth, they don’t respond on substance. They just scream ‘Liar! Liar! Liar!’ ” Cruz said Tuesday.

Both Trump and Rubio have accused Cruz of distorting their records with increasing frequency. And while such charges are common in presidential politics, Cruz’s team has also faced rebukes for misleading voters in recent weeks from multiple outside groups – the Iowa Secretary of State and a prominent anti-abortion group, among them.

The fiery conservative’s ability to navigate questions about his integrity could well decide his fate in the crowded 2016 contest, where he remains a top-tier contender.

“He’s lying. And I think it’s disturbing,” Rubio said in Beaufort. “Just here in South Carolina this week, he’s lied about my record on Planned Parenthood, he’s lied about my position on marriage, he’s lied about his own record on immigration. So, I think this is very disturbing when you have a candidate that now on a regular basis just makes things up.”

Trump was even more aggressive, describing Cruz the day before as “the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise.”

“And I have seen some of the best of them,” the billionaire businessman said in a statement. “His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much.”

Virtually all of the 2016 candidates have been caught stretching the truth over the course of the campaign, including Trump and Rubio. But only Cruz has embraced trust – and the play on his first name, “TRUSTED,” as the fundamental rationale of his campaign.

After a legal review, a South Carolina television station over the weekend temporarily pulled down an ad from a pro-Cruz super PAC that targeted Rubio’s position on immigration. Among other charges, the ad said Rubio worked to allow “sanctuary cities” as part of the immigration deal he struck in 2013.

The pro-Cruz group was forced to tweak the ad, although it still makes the same overall point about Rubio.

Cruz continues to face fallout from at least two incidents leading up to his victory in Iowa’s Feb. 1 caucuses.

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks Monday at a rally at the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing & Technology in Florence, S.C.

NEW YORK – Making a direct appeal to black voters, Hillary Clinton said Tuesday she would give African-Americans their next ally in the White House and offered a detailed plan to overcome racial disparities ahead of crucial primaries in South Carolina and the Deep South.

Clinton took her presidential campaign to Harlem in New York City, her focus squarely on solidifying support among black voters who twice backed her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and will be vital in upcoming contests against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The former secretary of state suggested black voters would find her proposals more far-reaching than Sanders’ warnings about economic inequality and the power of Wall Street.

She said the recent water crisis in Flint, Michigan, underscored the complex and intersecting challenges facing black communities.

“It’s not enough for your economic plan to be, ‘Break up the banks,’ ” Clinton said. “You also need a serious

where unemployment remains stubbornly high.”

Both Clinton and Sanders are making specific appeals to black voters after Sanders won a 22-point victory in last week’s New Hampshire’ primary, creating a potential opening with black voters for the self-described “democratic socialist.” The Democratic candidates are vying for support in Saturday’s Nevada caucuses and then facing off in South Carolina on Feb. 27 and a series of March 1 “SuHillary Clinton per Tuesday” contests that include Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

Sanders has pushed back against Clinton’s contention that he is only a “single-issue” candidate and campaigned Tuesday in South Carolina, holding a prayer breakfast with black ministers and appearing with Erica Garner, whose father, Eric Garner, died from a police chokehold in New York City in 2014.

Retire ‘quaint’ Dem caucus It’s quaint. It’s inefficient. It’s time for the Democratic Party’s caucus process to die in Iowa.

Much was made after the Feb. 1 caucuses, particularly because Hillary Clinton bested Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders by a fraction of a percentage point. Some editorial boards demanded an audit. “Fiasco” and “chaos” were tossed around with abandon. A national press confused For the record by the caucus system wrongly asserted coin The Democratic Party’s flips might have cost caucus system is mired in the Sanders the victory.

19th century, and that’s where You’d think Clinton it should have stayed. and her establishment supporters stole the race, like some developing world despot.

Minor individual hiccups won’t cost Iowa its pole position. That said, the Democratic Party’s system is mired in the 19th century, and that’s where it should have stayed.

Iowa Republicans use paper ballots. Democrats stand in a corner with the like-minded, like some weird elementary school team-building exercise.

Paper record? Yeah, good luck, and that’s the problem.

Long after Democrats have wiped their dry-erase boards clean, the GOP’s ballots will live on. Republicans can recount questionable results. An actual, legitimate audit can be undertaken. Not so with the Democratic system.

Those crying the loudest about the problems on caucus night aren’t concerned about this specific race. They’re invested in the long-term viability of Iowa’s first-in-the-nation status, pumping massive dollars and political clout into the state.

Every four years, much of the country looks at rural, white Iowa and wonders why it plays such a key role in culling the field of would-be presidents.

Illinois – with its diverse population and urban, suburban, rural mix – makes more sense, reasoned one pundit on National Public Radio. And observers throughout the country complain the personal investment required to show up for three hours on a February night disenfranchises second-shift laborers and the politically ambivalent.

Every four years, the same scrutiny awakes.

And then, after the candidates jet elsewhere, it goes back into hibernation. Everyone forgets about it.

Caucuses are, by their very nature, a clunky, inexact way of picking party delegates. But the GOP improved its system after the 2012 debacle. Paper ballots permit needed transparency and accuracy.

Democrats deserve the same from their party.

Senators, do your job and vote

This one shouldn’t be complicated. The fourth year of President Barack Obama’s second four-year term has just begun.

Senators are elected to six-year terms, and all of them have at least 11 months still to serve.

The death of Justice Antonin Scalia has created a vacancy on the nine-member Supreme Court. The Constitution tells the president to nominate justices and senators to confirm or reject those nominees.

Yet within hours of Justice Scalia’s passing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, had declared the Senate will not do its job.

The issue is whether the Senate will continue its downhill slide toward politicization of judicial nominations or seize an opportunity to regain some respect as a deliberative, constitutional body.

Chief Justice John Roberts

Jr. noted recently Justices Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were confirmed by overwhelming bipartisan majorities, while more recent nominees – Samuel A. Alito Jr., Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan – were approved on largely party-line votes, although they were no less qualified and no more ideological than their predecessors.

“That suggests to me that the process is being used for something other than ensuring the qualifications of the nominees,” the chief justice said. He said the politicization in turn has a negative effect on how Americans view the court, The Post’s Robert Barnes reported.

McConnell’s blanket refusal to consider a nominee has the potential to start a new downward cycle.

If a Republican is elected president in November and Democrats recapture the Senate,

what is to prevent them from refusing to vote at all? Nothing in the Constitution decrees when a lame duck becomes lame. Meanwhile, the nation is harmed by having a hobbled court.

McConnell’s ill-considered fiat has put a spotlight on a handful of Republican senators facing tough re-election battles.

We would shine the spotlight instead on freshman Republican senators, who bear no scars from past judicial fights and who in some cases ran for office on a platform of renewed fealty to the text of the Constitution.

Obama should nominate the best qualified person he can find, not one chosen for maximum political advantage. Then senators should insist that they be given the opportunity to do what their states elected them to do: evaluate the nominee fairly, and vote aye or nay.

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.

To the Editor: Our next state’s attorney should be a highly experienced attorney with deep roots in McHenry County.

Only one candidate matches that criteria. Dan Regna is a 23-year Woodstock resident with 21 years of legal experience in the McHenry County court system. Dan is deeply involved in his community as a Cub Scout leader, Little League baseball board member, member of veterans organizations and active St. Mary parishioner.

For nearly 10 years, Dan served as a criminal prosecutor, earning the respect of court personnel, lawyers and police officers throughout McHenry County. For the past 11 years, Dan has represented local clients and small businesses in diverse areas to include administrative, business, criminal, employment, family and real estate law.

Further, Dan is a West Point graduate with 18 years of military service.

To the Editor: Dan Regna is the only state’s attorney candidate committed to McHenry County.

Unlike his opponent, who moved into McHenry County a few months ago to seemingly run for elected office, Regna has lived, worked and raised a family in McHenry County for 23 years. He is highly regarded within our Woodstock community and throughout McHenry County.

Dan Regna served nearly 10 years as a prosecutor, gaining the respect of lawyers and police officers throughout McHenry County. Over the past 11 years, he has served many clients in personal crisis through difficult legal proceedings.

Throughout Woodstock, Dan is well known to many for his extensive volunteer work with Little League baseball and Cub Scouts.

We deserve a person committed to McHenry County to serve the interests of McHenry County, not some interloper serving his self-interest. McHenry County needs longtime Woodstock resident Dan Regna as our next state’s attorney.

To the Editor: The story “Harvard police use Narcan for first time in suspected heroin overdose ” (Jan. 28) is an example of a disturbing shortcoming in the way government, law enforcement in this case, responds to the causes, effects and consequences of heroin addiction.

Before I stopped using heroin, I witnessed or fell victim to overdose numerous times. I have provided first aid to multiple addicts in respiratory distress. I have lost friends and acquaintances who didn’t have time to call for an ambulance and wait.

I am grateful for the officers and paramedics who responded to medical emergencies I either witnessed or suffered. Narcan, widely available for decades, began to be used by police departments this century. It is provided to addicts through harm reduction/treatment facilities (e.g. needle exchanges), as well.

Addicts are wary of police contact and fear prosecution. These programs and approaches to treating addiction save countless lives each year.

Why is Harvard Police just recently being allowed to administer Narcan?

I fear the servants of the people are out of touch with reality, unwilling to adopt common sense measures or try new things.

I consider the lack of access to treatment and harm reduction resources in McHenry County, namely methadone clinics and needle exchanges, shameful and negligent. It is demonstrably true these tried and tested prevention methods save lives. They do not increase drug use, create new addicts or change the law.

The system, as it is now, is failing us all. How many more need to die before changes are made?

ate judge in McHenry County for more than eight years. During that time, he has handled all different types of cases and has received full approval and the highest ratings from the circuit judges, the Illinois Supreme Court and McHenry County lawyers.

Judge Cowlin is the candidate who is not only smart, honest and ethical, but also has the critical experience to be a circuit judge, and I will be voting for him March 15.

Joe Caputo & Sons store in Algonquin ‘strong’ despite financial, legal issues

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – Family-owned grocer Joe Caputo & Sons took to Facebook to assure customers its original locations in Algonquin, Des Plaines and Palatine “remain strong,” despite recent store closings elsewhere in the Chicago area.

In the post dated Feb. 13 on the independent grocer’s official Facebook page, Joe Caputo & Sons said an expansion effort into Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village and Northbrook left the company with a “large and unexpected financial burden” on its core operations, causing the business to pull back on its plan.

“We want to assure you, our valued customers, that Joe Caputo & Sons will continue to offer the very best values in produce, deli and specialty items available anywhere,” the post read.

“Thanks to you, our original locations in Des Plaines, Algonquin and Palatine remain strong and committed to a continued effort to meet and exceed our shoppers’ expectations.”

The post comes after numerous media outlets in Chicago reported last week about a lawsuit filed in federal court by Chicago-based produce wholesaler Anthony Marano Co., which alleged Joe Caputo & Sons failed to pay for $3.6 million in pro-

duce delivered to the grocer dating back to last summer.

A federal judge subsequently issued a temporary restraining order that froze Joe Caputo & Sons’ assets, according to reports by the Chicago Tribune and Crain’s Chicago Business. The complaint also reportedly stated Caputo & Sons had advised the wholesaler it couldn’t pay back the debt because of cash flow problems.

In early 2014, Joe Caputo & Sons announced plans to add three locations at former Dominick’s stores in Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village and Northbrook.

But the effort quickly failed.

The grocer closed the lo-

cations in Arlington Heights and Northbrook late last year, followed by the move this past weekend to close the Elk Grove location.

Despite the closings, its original locations in Algonquin, Des Plaines and Palatine remain strong and committed to customers, according to the Facebook post.

Joe Caputo’s and Sons opened the Algonquin location, 100 S. Randall Road, in 2007, promising to offer customers in the Algonquin area the freshest fruits and vegetables and quality Italian specialties.

The family-owned chain first started doing business in 1989 out of its store in Des Plaines.

Proposed federal rules would increase food stamp access to healthy foods MARY CLARE JALONICK

Change

CHAMBER NEWS Crystal Musgrove

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Agriculture Department unveiled new rules on Tuesday that would force retailers who accept food stamps to stock a wider variety of healthy foods or face the loss of business as consumers shop elsewhere.

The proposed rules are designed to ensure the more than 46 million Americans who use food stamps have better access to healthy foods although they don’t dictate what people buy or eat.

A person using food stamp dollars still could purchase as much junk food as they wanted, but they would at least have more options in the store to buy fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats and bread.

“USDA is committed to expanding access for SNAP participants to the types of foods that are important to a healthy diet,” Kevin Concannon, USDA undersecretary for

food, nutrition and consumer services, said in a statement.

“This proposed rule ensures that retailers who accept SNAP benefits offer a variety of products to support healthy choices for those participating in the program.”

In 2014, Congress required the Agriculture Department to develop regulations to make sure stores that accept food stamp dollars, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, stock a wider array of healthy food choices.

Under current rules, SNAP retailers must stock at least three varieties of foods in each of four food groups: fruits and vegetables, dairy, breads and cereals, and meats, poultry and fish.

The new rules would require the retailers to stock seven varieties in each food group, and at least three of the food groups would have to include perishable items. In all, the rules would require stores

to stock at least 168 items that USDA considers healthy.

The proposal would also require retailers have enough in stock of each item so that the foods would be continuously available.

The rules could mean that fewer convenience stores qualify to be SNAP retailers.

The convenience store industry has argued it often operates the only stores that serve certain neighborhoods and at certain times, such as overnight.

Concannon said the department would try to ensure the rules don’t affect SNAP recipients’ access to food retailers, and the department may consider waiving the proposed requirements in some areas.

The rules come as a key House Republican is pushing for drug tests for food stamp recipients and new cuts to the program.

Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt, the chairman of the subcommittee that oversees

USDA spending, introduced a bill last Thursday that would allow states to require drug testing.

The move is designed to help states such as Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker has sued the federal government, to permit screening.

USDA has pushed back on such efforts, as it did when Republicans unsuccessfully attempted to cut 5 percent from the program during negotiations over the 2014 farm bill.

The push comes as SNAP use has skyrocketed – the program served more than 46 million Americans and cost $74 billion last year. That’s twice the program’s 2008 cost.

“While I have not seen Rep. Aderholt’s proposed legislation, I have serious concerns about an approach that could deprive a family of access to food and basic necessities simply because a member of the family is struggling with addiction,” Vilsack said after Aderholt introduced the bill.

REYNOLDS’ ‘DEADPOOL’ MARKS HISTORIC DEBUT

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2016

LOS ANGELES – Superhero movies don’t have to be PG-13 to get superhero-sized returns. “Deadpool’s” historic debut proved that and then some. Ryan Reynold’s foul-mouthed, fourth-wall busting character pulled in a massive $132.4 million in its first weekend in theaters, making “Deadpool” the highest ever opening for an R-rated film and for Fox. The Marvel title cost Fox only $58 million to produce, too.

“Deadpool’s” expectation-shattering grosses easily beat the weekend’s other new openers. The R-rated rom-com “How to Be Single” opened in third with $17.9 million, while “Zoolander 2” took fourth place with only $13.8 million.

Cosby loses appeal; case appears headed to hearing

Adele performs Monday at the 58th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Fans fume over audio glitches during Grammy Awards LOS ANGELES – The woman who created the most popular album in the U.S. last year had a trying Grammy Awards.

Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said there was a “technical glitch” after a microphone inside a piano fell onto the instrument’s strings during British superstar Adele’s performance Monday night of the tender “All I Ask.” The result was that the hitmaker sounded very mortal – TV audiences heard a pitchy song and saw an unsettled Adele, who appeared disconcerted when the song ended. The singer later consoled herself by getting a burger from a popular local joint.

“Something like that can easily be distracting or off-putting,” Portnow said. “To her credit, she killed it. She did a fantastic job. That was an issue on our behalf.”

Portnow said the mic fell when the piano was lifted onto a satellite stage located in the audience at Staples Center.

“It means when the hammer of the piano hits the strings it sounds like something is in there,” he said backstage after the CBS telecast ended.

Portnow said the sound was switched to a backup system, but that involved cutting off the original system.

“You had a couple seconds where you did not have audio in the house,” he said.

“It was fixed in a matter of seconds, but we’ve never happy when something like that happens.”

It was one of a few episodes during the telecast that had some users of social media fuming about mismatched singers or sound problems. Even access to the live stream had reported glitches.

Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood had an early medley of songs that had one commentator declare, “This performance is the worst.” Another wanted to know: “Who is mixing the audio at the Grammy’s?”

PHILADELPHIA – Bill Cosby’s criminal sexual assault case appears to be headed toward an evidence hearing after a judge denied his latest effort to throw the charges out.

In a ruling Tuesday, the judge who refused to dismiss the case earlier this month denied Cosby’s appeal of that decision.

The 78-year-old TV star is accused of drugging and violating an ex-Temple University employee at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004 and could get 10 years in prison if convicted.

The defense insists Cosby had a promise from a previous district attorney that he would never be charged over the 2004 encounter. Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill, however, found the evidence of such an agreement lacking after hearing from the ex-prosecutor and others at a two-day hearing. He said the issue doesn’t warrant an immediate appeal that would delay the scheduled March 8 preliminary hearing.

Los Angeles Dodgers sign deal for more concerts

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed a multiyear deal to book more high-end concerts at their venerable baseball stadium.

The deal between the team and Oak View Group was announced Tuesday. OVG was formed last year by artist manager Irving Azoff and Tim Leiweke, former president

and CEO of AEG, which owns Staples Center.

Lon Rosen, chief marketing officer for the Dodgers, said the deal will help bring “more great performers” to the stadium.

Since opening in 1962, Dodger Stadium has hosted concerts by such acts as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Madonna, Elton John, Michael Jackson and David Bowie.

The Dodgers emphasized that OVG is not a promoter, so the stadium will continue to work with all music promoters.

One man wounded at the Bataclan appeared at Tuesday’s concert in crutches. Others overcame deep fears or depression to attend.

“After the attacks ... I felt apprehension even being at the movies,” Bataclan survivor Florian Novac said. After seeing the security at Tuesday’s concert, however, he said, “Now I’m not

afraid, I am confident.”

The show saw one band member smash a guitar but was otherwise peaceful, and the crowds left uplifted.

One survivor, Alexis Lebrun, described himself as “very scared” ahead of the show. He and other survivors opened up to a French terrorism commission ahead of Tuesday’s concert, questioning how the French govern-

PARIS – The California rock band Eagles of Death Metal performed Tuesday at a highly charged Paris concert filled with fans who survived a terrifying massacre and siege at their last Paris show – and filled with memories of those who didn’t.

“Bonsoir Paris, we’re ready for this!” frontman Jesse Hughes told the crowd at the Olympia concert hall, before heading straight into the first song.

Later, between two songs, he shouted: “Peace, love and rock and roll!”

The band’s performance Nov. 13 at the Bataclan concert hall turned into a bloodbath when Islamic extremist suicide bombers stormed in, as near-simultaneous attacks hit cafes and a stadium around Paris. Scores of concert-goers at the Bataclan were killed, while others hid or lay motionless for hours until a police raid ended the siege. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Armed police guarded entrances to the Olympia for Tuesday’s performance, and concert-goers went through three bag and body searches before entering. Viewers seemed in good spirits ahead of the show, some drinking out-

ment failed to stop the attacks that claimed 130 lives, most of them at the Bataclan.

The violence came just 10 months after deadly jihadi attacks on a satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket pushed the country into high alert, and forced French lawmakers to look for ways to further protect citizens.

Lebrun wondered why there was scant security around the Bataclan, one of Paris’ biggest music venues, given the heightened alert in the city.

“No security measures were seen.

No military or police presence in front of the hall. No particular searches at the hall entrance,” Lebrun noted.

“How come the national security alert was at its highest level, yet there were no provisions to mobilize some guards in front of venues welcoming hundreds or thousands of people?” he asked.

Ways to comfort a loved one going through cancer treatment SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it’s often difficult to know what to say and what to do. The side effects of cancer treatment can leave a patient weak and nauseated Of course, their physical needs must be tended to, but a person undergoing cancer treatment also needs emotional support and comfort more than ever in what can be the most trying time in their life.

First, it’s important to cope with your own emotional reactions to what your loved one is going through so you can focus on your loved one, according to Cancer.Net. Then, treat them the same way you always have.

It helps to think about it from your loved one’s perspective and how you would feel in his or her place. Avoid commenting on any physical changes, and be upbeat and positive. If you don’t know what to say, tell your loved one, then offer to listen if he or she feels like talking.

Avoid the topic of cancer unless your loved one initiates the conversation. Talking about interests and hobbies can take their mind off of the disease.

Acknowledge your loved one’s feelings. Avoid

saying phrases like, “I know just how you feel,” unless you’ve been through cancer treatment yourself, or thoughtless phrases like, “I’m sure you’ll be fine,” or “Don’t worry,” advises Cancer.

Net. Don’t offer advice unless it’s asked for.

“Laughter is the best medicine” is true. If your loved one is in the mood, tell a funny story and laugh together.

Simply offering to help wherever needed can be a huge comfort to someone going through treatment since many people aren’t used to asking for help.

Finally, “I love you,” “I care about you” and “I’m thinking of you,” are usually always welcome words to someone going through cancer treatment.

WASHINGTON – From the cacophony of day care to the buzz of TV and electronic toys, noise is more distracting to a child’s brain than an adult’s, and new research shows it can hinder how youngsters learn.

In fact, one of the worst offenders when a tot’s trying to listen is other voices babbling in the background, researchers said Saturday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

“What a child hears in a noisy environment is not what an adult hears,” said Dr. Lori Leibold of Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.

That’s a Catch-22 in our increasingly noisy lives because “young children learn language from hearing it,” said Dr. Rochelle Newman of the University of Maryland. “They have a greater need for understanding speech around them, but at the same time they’re less equipped to deal with it.”

It’s not their ability to hear. For healthy children, the auditory system is pretty well developed by a few months of age.

Consider how hard it is to carry on a conversation in a noisy restaurant.

noises – someone coughs, a car horn blares – can drown out part of a word or sentence. An adult’s experienced brain automatically substitutes a logical choice, often well enough that the person doesn’t notice, Newman said.

“Young children don’t do this.

Their brain doesn’t fill in the gaps,” she said.

Children who were born prematurely may have an additional risk.

When preemies spend a long time in an incubator, their brains get used to the constant “white noise” of the machine’s fan – different from a full-term baby who develops hearing mom’s voice in the womb and thus is wired to pay more attention to voices, said AP photo Dr. Amir Lahav of Harvard Medical In this image from video, a toddler participates in a speech perception experiment in a School. laboratory at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C.

is interesting this topic isn’t addressed more often, because domestic violence can happen to anyone and it shouldn’t be overlooked.

No one has the right to coerce a partner into doing something she or he doesn’t want to do, whether it’s done through physical violence or relentless verbal abuse.

When there is forced sex in a marriage, the name for it is marital or spousal rape. Like any other kind of rape, it is not an act of love but a way of asserting control and dominance.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips If you contact the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), it should be able to refer you to a support group for survivors. The toll-free number to call is 800-656-4673.

Dear Abby: How do you handle an ex-son-in-law who “confides” in his 9-year-old and 7-year-old children? My granddaughter came to me yesterday and said her dad told her he’s not going to pay child support and is going to quit his job. Now she is worried her daddy will become homeless and have to live on the street.

I know he is self-centered. He has started abusing narcotics and is moving in with a girl half his age. I told my granddaughter no matter what happens, her mom and dad will always love her. There is court-ordered support, but none has been paid. Any advice would be appreciated. –

Grandpa In Milwaukee Dear Grandpa: “Daddy” is

not going to lose his apartment; he has chosen to move in with his girlfriend.

That’s a lot different than becoming homeless. Reassure your grandchildren, but do not lie. Your daughter should discuss with an attorney the fact her ex isn’t meeting his child support obligation, and contact the state agencies that help to collect it.

Dear Abby: There is a topic I haven’t seen addressed in your column, namely being sexually abused by a spouse.

I ended my marriage because my husband was waking me at 2 a.m. demanding sex. He expected me to have sex only a week after I had our baby, although my doctor had said I should wait six weeks.

If I thought something he wanted me to do was degrading, he insisted I do it anyway.

It amazes me the subject of spousal abuse isn’t mentioned in premarital counseling. No one seems willing to acknowledge this kind of abuse exists.

Is there even a “survivors” network or support group to cope? I went to individual counseling, but it didn’t help me.

I think it would be helpful if society would acknowledge this kind of thing does happen. I also think those who offer premarital counseling should be required to discuss the warning signs of a sexual abuser. – The Ex Mrs.

Massage can relieve back pain Dear Dr. K: My back is always sore. A friend suggested massage therapy might help. Massages are expensive, so I want to make sure there’s some evidence behind this. Is there?

Dear Reader: Massage used to be considered an indulgence. But now it’s recognized as a legitimate therapy for some painful conditions – including back pain.

Therapeutic massage may relieve pain in several ways. It may relax painful muscles, tendons and joints, or relieve stress and anxiety. It even may change the way the brain processes pain signals.

Many types of massage are available in the United States, with Swedish massage being the most common. It involves long, gliding strokes and kneading of the major muscle groups, as well as friction, gentle rhythmic slapping and vibration. Other massage techniques include deep-tissue, pressure-point, Thai and neuromuscular massage. (I’ve put a table describing different types of massage, and what they involve, on my website, www.askdoctork. com.)

Massage therapy also can involve varying degrees of pressure. Massage doesn’t have to be painful to be therapeutic, so be sure to tell your therapist what type of touch you prefer (light touch, firm pressure, hard pressure).

Massage should not be the only treatment you use for back pain. Instead, use massage in addition to standard care. That includes taking anti-inflammatory pain relievers, staying as active as possible, getting physical therapy and giving your body time to heal. When added to the mix, massage can reduce pain and speed your return to normal activities.

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff There hasn’t been enough research to say for certain what type of massage is best for back pain. We also don’t know the optimal “dose” and frequency of treatment.

Talk to people you know to get a recommendation. Good practitioners get good results and generate positive referrals.

Find out if a medical center in your area has an alternative or integrative medicine program. Such programs typically offer massage by qualified practitioners: people licensed to practice in your state and certified by a national organization such as the American Massage Therapy Association (www.amtamassage.org).

When I was just beginning medical practice, I learned a valuable lesson. A woman in her mid-80s told me she had trouble sleeping. I told her about the various ways to improve her “sleep hygiene,” such as going to bed and getting up at the same time each day, not watching TV while in bed, etc.

When I saw her a few months later, she said a massage therapist had cured her sleep problem – and implied my advice hadn’t done much good. What was keeping her up (as I would have known, had I asked her more questions about her sleep problem) was chronic back pain. That was resolved with massage – and she slept like a baby.

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

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

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

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

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

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

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

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

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

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

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

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

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

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

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL

PR holds off McHenry Wolves, South to square off in regional final

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Prairie Ridge girls basketball coach Rick Lima didn’t expect McHenry to let the Wolves off easy in Tuesday’s Class 4A McHenry Regional semifinal.

“I knew this was going to be a dog fight,” Lima said of facing the host Warriors. “You can’t step on somebody else’s home floor and expect them to hand you something.”

The Wolves, starting two freshmen, looked to pull away from McHenry midway through the third quarter and built a lead as big as 13 points, but inexperience and turnovers made things more interesting in the final moments as Prairie Ridge’s lead was cut to five points in the fourth.

The Warriors, however, couldn’t connect late as Prairie Ridge’s defense held McHenry to 4-of-18 shooting in the fourth, and the Wolves held on for a 4642 win. The Wolves (19-10) advance to face Crystal Lake South in the regional final at 7 p.m Friday.

South (22-9) defeated Cary-Grove, 47-33, in the first semifinal.

“They (McHenry) did a good job with their press,” Lima said. “They were trapping us up at halfcourt, putting some pressure on us. We’ve got young kids in their first regional.

Freshmen, so they’re going to make some mistakes. But they do so many great things defensively, too, that balance it out.”

Sammi Lockwood, a 6-foot-3 freshman center, led the Wolves with 16 points and 12 rebounds, while the other starting freshman, Nicole Dorn, chipped in eight points. Lockwood scored 10 of her team’s 22 points in the second half as the Warriors turned around a 28-15 deficit with 7:10 left in the third to five points multiple times in the fourth.

“They (McHenry) started off with four guards and one big,” said Lockwood, who added two blocks. “It opened up me and Kirsten (Voel-Pel) to go inside. I think we really pulled away at the start of the second, but they came back on us.”

Kaleigh Johnson and Madisyn Kaempf both had 11 points to lead the

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A CARMEL REGIONAL

Johnsburg romps after slow start Skyhawks move on; Woodstock falls to Carmel

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com MUNDELEIN – One after another, the Johnsburg girls basketball players launched 3-pointers. And one after another, they clanged off the rim and bounced out to start the Skyhawks’ Class 3A Carmel Regional semifinal game against Chicago Amundsen.

Two and a half minutes passed without a single basket. Finally, Skyhawks coach Brad Frey had seen enough and called a timeout.

Frey chalked up the slow start to poor shot selection. Morgan Madsen blamed nerves. Aannah Interrante pointed out that the Skyhawks hadn’t played a game in a week.

The Skyhawks switched up their defense, playing primarily man in the first half and 1-3-1 in the second half. Both worked. Johnsburg forced the Vikings into 25 turnovers.

Whatever the issue, the Skyhawks solved it in a big way. Johnsburg scored 14 consecutive points out of the timeout and ran away with an easy 6324 victory.

The Skyhawks (25-3) advance to Thursday’s Class 3A Carmel Regional final at 7 p.m. Johnsburg will play the host Corsairs, who defeated Woodstock, 43-33, in the second semifinal Tuesday evening at Carmel.

“Anytime you can get to the postseason and walk out with a ‘W’ it’s nice,” Frey said. “I watched [Amundsen] play last night and they have some kids who play really hard and have some good skills. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I didn’t see that happening at all.”

Interrante led the Skyhawks, scoring all 18 of her points in the first half.

Morgan Madsen put up 11 and Megan Madsen added 10 points and six rebounds.

“It just gives us more confidence and more energy for the next time,” Morgan Madsen said.

The second game of the evening was much closer. Over the first three quarters, only once did either team pull ahead by more than a possession.

Woodstock trailed Carmel by two at the end of the third quarter. The final quarter, in many ways, turned into a free-throw shooting competition. The two teams combined to make just three field goals in the final period, while attempting 32 foul shots.

Woodstock made 8 of 11 from the line in the fourth, while Carmel hit 15 of 21 to seal the game.

Jenifer Crain scored all 10 of her points in the second half, including six in the fourth quarter. Autumn Overly scored eight, and Camryn Tafoya added seven.

“It’s definitely a season that I will remember for the little lessons I learned along the way,” Woodstock coach Jen Nichols-Hogle said. “Most of all the compassion my players have for each other and the amount that they care about me and my coaching staff.”

The Bulldogs pulled away in the second quarter when they outscored the Rockets, 19-5, for a 39-16 lead.

“They really challenged us our second game, so even though we’ve beat them three times, we didn’t take anything for granted. We prepared for them a lot,” Wauconda coach Jaime Dennis said. “As far as the key, in the first half it was just sharing the ball. We probably had more assists tonight than we ever have in a game. We shared the ball well, we executed, and we talked about that all week.”

Seven players scored for Wauconda in the first half, and two more scored after the break. The Bulldogs were led by 16 points from Corrina Vaughan, 14 from Allison Tylka and 12 from Katherine Rossetti.

The Rockets’ best stretch of play came in the third quarter, when they played the Bulldogs even. Mackenzie Hahn scored five points in the third, and Allie Hogan and Brooke Legnaioli knocked down 3-pointers.

“We went man and we turned it up defensively, and we played even with them for about an eight- or nine-minute stretch, and I was very proud of that effort,” Severns said. “My kids never quit – they didn’t throw in the towel. They played with them and did some good things.”

Benoit scored a game-high 28 points on 12-of-16 shooting. She added seven rebounds.

The high post play of forward Meagan Heine was key to the offense’s ability to move the ball around the Cogs’ 2-3 zone in the first half. Heine often received a pass at the top of the key, which created space for Benoit down low.

They helped carry the team to a 3111 lead heading into halftime.

“Our guards did a really great job,” Benoit said. “I think that our offense benefited from it too.”

The Whip-Purs opened the second half on a 4-0 run before Nay and Galauner hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the deficit to 37-17. Nay later hit another 3 to draw as close as 19, but that was the closest the Cogs got as the Whip-Purs held a 43-22 margin after three.

Nay and Galauner tied for the Cogs’ scoring lead with 11 points.

Allison Peters had eight points, while Nicole Dumoulin finished with three points and five rebounds.

“I thought we started off well,” Cogs coach Kyle Henkle said. “We didn’t get a stop defensively for a while and that kind of just wore us out physically and mentally and what we wanted to do offensively.”

Freshman helps spark Huskies

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois men’s basketball coach Mark Montgomery said he wanted to spark the Huskie offense by inserting freshman guard Marshawn Wilson into the starting lineup before the game against Akron last week.

So far, so good.

The Huskies started out hot from the field again in Wilson’s second start and they cruised to a 71-60 win over Bowling Green on Tuesday night at the NIU Convocation Center.

Wilson, who came into the game tied for third on the team in scoring (11.1 points a game) despite starting nearly the entire season on the bench, finished with 12 points – all in the first half – and was 3 for 3 from 3-point range.

“I’m happy I’m starting but it doesn’t matter to me, I’ll come off the bench,” Wilson said. “It’s a different mindset (being a starter). I come in more sharp and more focused in practice and focused in shootarounds.”

During the Huskies’ five-game losing streak – which was snapped when Montgomery inserted Wilson into the starting

rotation before the 80-79 win over Akron on Saturday – they struggled offensively in the first four minutes of games.

4001 Country Club Rd. Woodstock, IL 60098 815-356-8600

In the opening four minutes of those five games, the Huskies (18-8 overall, 7-6 Mid-American Conference West) were outscored 36-17, shot 5 for 19 (26.3 percent) and committed 11 turnovers.

However, those numbers have changed dramatically with Wilson starting in place of junior guard Michael Orris.

In the past two games, the Huskies have outscored Akron and Bowling Green (13-13, 4-9 MAC East) a combined 19-9 while shooting 7 for 13 (53.8 percent) and committed two turnovers in the first four minutes.

“Marshawn has proved that when he’s in the game, he can score the basketball,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “I think that’s what this team needed.”

In fact, with the starters in against Bowling Green, the Huskies went 4 for 5 from the field – including two 3-pointers by Wilson – with no turnovers to build an 11-5 lead less than three minutes into the game.

“When coach recruited me, he recruited me to score, so that’s what I came here to do,” Wilson said.

Playing in his school-record 118th consecutive game, senior guard Travon Baker had six points and five assists for the Huskies, who improved to 15-1 at home this season.

Report: NIU will face Toledo in football at U.S. Cellular Field Northern Illinois announced it will have a news conference at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field.

The news conference will give an announcement regarding the 2016 NIU football schedule. The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday the Huskies will play Toledo at the home of the White Sox. Tuesday’s news conference will feature athletic director Sean Frazier and football coach Rod Carey, Illinois Sports Facilities Authority CEO Lou Bertuca and White Sox Senior Vice President Brooks Boyer. The Chicago Sun-Times reported in September that the Huskies would play a game at U.S. Cellular Field in the 2016 season, which Frazier strongly denied at the time.

“We have no idea where this report came from,” Frazier said Sept. 24. “And we are no closer to signing a deal with U.S. Cellular Field than we are to winning a national championship this year.”

Dikembe Dixson had 40 points and 17 rebounds – both season highs for the freshman – to record his sixth double-double of the season for UIC (5-20, 3-11). He scored 32 points and grabbed 15 boards in a four-point home loss to Youngstown State on Jan. 28.

Cameron Morse scored a team-high 28 points for Youngstown State.

attention the complaint’s brief mention of Peyton Manning generated.

“It’s certainly unanticipated,” attorney David Randolph Smith said.

Smith said he included events from the past two decades – one involved Manning in 1996 – to show how Tennessee has handled reports of misconduct.

The lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Nashville states Tennessee has violated Title IX regulations and created a “hostile sexual environment” through a policy of indifference toward assaults by student-athletes.

The suit focuses on five cases that were reported between 2013 and 2015, but it also references incidents involving Tennessee student-athletes dating to 1995.

One paragraph in the 64-page document refers to a sexual harassment complaint made by a Tennessee trainer in 1996 involving an incident that occurred in a training room while she was treating Manning, the quarterback at Tennessee from 1994 to ’97 and who just helped the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl.

Manning’s father, Archie, declined comment via text.

CHAMPAIGN – Malcolm Hill scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds, and Illinois cruised to an 82-66 victory over Rutgers on Tuesday night.

Illinois (12-14, 4-9 Big Ten) snapped a two-game skid, and the Scarlet Knights (6-20, 0-13) have lost 13 straight games, all in conference play.

Maverick Morgan added 17 points, and Kendrick Nunn chipped in 16 for the Fighting Illini, who used two big first-half runs to jump out to a 47-25 lead at halftime.

Illinois went on a 13-0 run early in the first half and never looked back, scoring 14 first-half points off 10 Rutgers turnovers.

Jonathan Laurent led Rutgers with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but the Scarlet Knights shot 29 percent from 3-point range and struggled to get anything going offensively. Mike Williams and Bishop Daniels added 15 points apiece.

The Scarlet Knights were playing without leading-scorer Corey Sanders, who was dealt a two-week suspension Monday for violating team rules.

No. 17 Purdue 71, Northwestern 61: At West Lafayette, Indiana, A.J. Hammons had 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Johnny Hill added a season-high 15 points for Purdue in a victory over Northwestern.

The Boilermakers (21-6, 9-5 Big Ten) have not lost consecutive games this season.

Northwestern (17-10, 5-9) was led by Tre Demps with 16 points and Bryant McIntosh, who had 14 points and four assists. The Wildcats have lost seven of nine overall and five straight on the road.

Northwestern got as close as 39-35 in the second half, but Purdue got consecutive 3-pointers from Ryan Cline and Hill to spur a 10-2 run that made it 64-50 with 4:39 left. After that, Northwestern couldn’t get closer than seven.

Purdue shot 38.3 percent from the field and was 4 of 13 from 3-point range.

Northwestern shot 56 percent in the second half to improve its overall shooting percentage to 44.6 and was 6 of 27 from beyond the arc.

Ohio St. 76, Michigan 66: At Columbus, Ohio, Jae’Sean Tate scored 13

CHAMPAIGN – A University of Illinois official familiar with the decision said the school has hired Washington University (St. Louis) athletic director Josh Whitman as its new AD. The official spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday night on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not been announced publicly.

Whitman takes over for Mike Thomas, who was fired Nov. 9, although interim Chancellor Barb Wilson said he had done nothing wrong.

Thomas was fired just over two months after he had fired football coach Tim Beckman amid allegations Beckman had interfered in players’ medical decisions and pressured players to play hurt.

Seven women’s basketball players have sued the school, claiming coach Matt Bollant and some staff created a racially abusive environment.

Whitman is a former Illinois tight end.

Michigan St.’s record doesn’t tell whole story EAST LANSING, Mich. – Hall of Fame football coach Bill Parcells famously said it.

“You are what your record says you are.”

A lot of folks agree with that checkyour-nuance-at-the-door sentiment.

Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo probably is one of them.

But Izzo’s Spartans are 8-5 in Big Ten play – in a three-way tie for sixth place in the conference – and there can’t possibly be anyone out there who believes seven league teams are at least as good as MSU. In a strange season in college basketball – no dominant teams, volatility in every major conference – the No. 8-ranked, 21-5 Spartans are perhaps the biggest oddity. Due in part to an injury that cost senior star Denzel Valentine four games (and a few more knocking off the rust), they’re looking up at Iowa, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin in the standings.

“Man, I hate looking at those standings,” senior forward Matt Costello said.

“Every time I look, I just cringe.”

Costello and his teammates know this is no middle-of-the-pack team. That’s what Michigan State was in 2006-07 and 2007-08, when it had back-to-back 8-8 finishes in the Big Ten (tying for sixth and seventh, respectively) and wheezed into each postseason already in double figures in losses overall. Those were two of the least successful squads Izzo has had in his two decades atop the program.

This team? Record be darned, it may be one of his best.

The Spartans have the most well-rounded player in the country in Valentine – a triple-double threat every time he takes the floor – and one of the nation’s finest shooters in Bryn Forbes.

They lead all Big Ten teams in scoring margin, rebounding margin and assists and are No. 1 in the league at both shooting the three and defending the three.

Really, MSU kind of has it all. Even if “all” includes a pair of losses to first-place Iowa and a trio of one-point defeats against Wisconsin, Nebraska and Purdue. Even if “all” doesn’t wind up including the program’s ninth consecutive top-four finish in the league standings.

Not that the Spartans can’t still finish fourth or better. There’s a lot of green left in this Big Ten putt.

“This is the real time of year now,” Izzo said. “Great players have to answer the bell during the biggest stages and the biggest moments of the year, and we’re getting near that time. I’m excited about where we are, because I think we’re starting to play better for longer stretches.”

The Spartans are on a 5-1 minitear that has claimed three of the teams ahead of them – Maryland,

VIEWS Steve Greenberg Michigan and Indiana – as victims. Wisconsin, on a hot streak of its own, will be here Thursday.

Izzo’s players are taking it one game at a time, of course, but the team they’re dying to meet again is, of course, Iowa.

That’ll have to happen in the Big Ten tournament – or maybe down the line in the NCAA tourney, where Izzo will be seeking his eighth Final Four appearance.

The Hawkeyes beat MSU handily when Valentine was out, then did so again – here, no less – in Valentine’s second game after returning from knee surgery.

“It is what it is. We lost to them. They were the better team that day,” Valentine said. “But I feel like we can beat them.

When the time comes, if we match up against them, I feel like we’ll get them.”

Be clear on this: It won’t be an upset if they do.

GAMES OF THE WEEK No. 20 Duke at No. 5 North Carolina (8 p.m. Wednesday, ESPN): The Blue Devils

have won three straight and 10 of the last 13 in college basketball’s best rivalry series. On the other hand, this will be the first time in 18 meetings they aren’t ranked in the top 10. Huge opportunity for Marcus Paige, Brice Johnson and the Tar Heels.

Wisconsin at No. 8 Michigan State (8 p.m. Thursday, ESPN): The Badgers have

completely turned around their season with a seven-game winning streak that began with a one-point victory over the Spartans. Nobody’s keeping Wisconsin out of the NCAA tourney if it pulls off another surprise here.

No. 3 Oklahoma at No. 10 West Virginia (3 p.m. Saturday, ESPN): Wasn’t it just like

Kansas to sneak past both of these outstanding squads in the Big 12 standings?

But nevermind that – this matchup of the Sooners’ league-best offense and the Mountaineers’ league-best defense will feel every bit like a title fight.

BIG NUMBERS

19.5, 7.1: Speaking of Denzel Valentine, those are his season scoring and assist averages – each ranking him No. 1 among all Big Ten players. The last player to lead the conference in both categories was Iowa’s Andre Woolridge in 1996-97.

Rose: ‘Who knows’ whether fix is likely?

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Derrick Rose made it back from the All-Star break on time this season, so right there was a winwin for the Bulls on Tuesday, as well as an improvement over last year’s break.

But with Rose also came some uncertainty as to the staying power of this team in the Eastern Conference playoff race, with Rose himself going back and forth on his confidence level with this group.

“It’s not the fans, it’s ourselves,” Rose said when asked whether he and his teammates are starting to hear the outside noise as far as the disappointment of this 27-25 team.

“I think we’re our hardest critics.

Even though we’re playing the way we play, it’s not like we’re out there trying to lose games on purpose. It’s just that we can’t find a rhythm.”

Rose was then asked whether he thinks this collection of players will be capable of finding that “rhythm” this season, and responded, “Who knows? Only time will tell.”

That’s basically where Bulls basketball is these days. One big “Who knows?”

Who knows whether they will make a trade before the Thursday afternoon deadline? Who knows when Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic will be back on the court? Who knows whether the heat will continue being raised on first-year coach

Fred Hoiberg to clean up this mess?

It’s the latter question that Hoiberg spent minutes addressing.

“I’m going to do this job to the best of my abilities and I’m gonna come to work, watch film,” Hoiberg said, when asked if he was feeling like his seat was starting to get warmer than he’s ever been used to experiencing. “That’s what I spent all All-Star break doing. Watching a lot of film, our good stretches, our bad stretches, trying to figure things out to get this team on the right track. That’s all I can control right now, put this team in the best position possible to try to win games. You put the work in, you get your team prepared and hopefully go out and give your team a chance.

“Again, I try to stay away from it as much as possible. I haven’t looked at a social media account in I don’t know how long. I completely put it behind me. I don’t read articles.

Again, I try to prepare this team to the best of my abilities.”

As far as the updated timetables on Butler (left knee) and Mirotic (appendicitis and hematoma), Hoiberg said Butler was still at least a few weeks away from exploding and cutting, while Mirotic was still down 10 or 11 pounds from his two surgeries and was still feeling pain in the abdomen area.

What Hoiberg couldn’t answer was would the roster be the same Thursday when the deadline comes and goes?

BLACKHAWKS

The Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa lies on the ice against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday at the United Center. Hossa left the game with a left leg injury and is out at least two weeks. and Toews, the Hawks won four straight games in April to solidify a playoff spot.

And last season, the Hawks went 12-4-1 without Kane before coasting to the finish.

Surviving Hossa’s injury is almost a given. But the Hawks need a fresh, rejuvenated Hossa in the playoffs. With 10 goals and 28 points in 54 games, Hossa is on a pace for career-lows in both categories. His 6.1 shooting percentage is less than half his career average coming into this season (12.8).

There’s little doubt a rested Hossa is a better Hossa. He had as many shot attempts (nine) in the first game after the six-day All-Star break as he had in five games before the break – the end of a stretch of 14 games in 24 days.

Hossa doesn’t have to score for the Hawks to win, but it sure helps – especially in the playoffs, where the Hawks are 16-0 when Hossa scores a goal. Unfortunately, he has withered in the postseason the past three years – without a goal in the Hawks’ final series in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

He not only has to be healthy, he has to be better. Two weeks off – or more – can only help him in that pursuit.

Note: The Hawks put defenseman Rob Scuderi on waivers Tuesday. The move would clear $950,000 of salary-cap space if Scuderi is sent to Rockford. The 37-year-old Scuderi has no points and is a minus-6 in limited ice time (11:06 average) in 17 games since being acquired from the Penguins for Trevor Daley on Dec. 14.

CHICAGO – You don’t have to be fluent in Q-speak to know Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville wasn’t impressed with Richard Panik’s debut as a replacement for Marian Hossa against the Maple Leafs on Monday night.

“What did you think of Panik tonight?”

“He was OK.” “Do you think you’ll keep that line together for a little while?

“We’ll see.”

Most of the time that means somebody else will get a shot at replacing Hossa – who is out at least two weeks with an upper-body injury – on the Hawks’ top line when the Hawks face the New York Rangers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. A Hossa absence is a merry-go-round waiting to happen, because nobody on the Hawks can replicate the unique contribution Hossa provides – the two-way game, the hustle, grit, puck-control ability, instinct and veteran savvy that makes Hossa invaluable even as his offensive game has diminished at 37.

Panik isn’t the first player to suffer the indignity of not being Marian Hossa. In 2011, Jeremy Morin was 19 when he was called up after a Hossa injury, played in eight games and was sent back to Rockford. In 2013, Daniel Carcillo lasted all of three shifts as Hossa’s replacement with Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad before Quenneville double-shifted Patrick Kane and eventually turned to Michael Frolik.

“I don’t see how you can replace a guy like Hossa just calling up one person or laying it all on one guy’s shoulders,” Hawks forward Patrick Kane said.

“We’ll try to pick up the slack as a team.

“But Hoss, you look at what he does for our team – the penalty kill, the power play. He’s probably our best two-way forward. It’s a hole that’s not going to be easy to fill and we’ll need everyone to step up and contribute.”

The Hawks have done that in impressive fashion throughout their seven-year run as Stanley Cup contenders.

In 2010-11, they went 4-2-1 without Kane and Hossa. In 2011-12, they went 13-5-4 when Toews missed 22 games with a concussion. Late in the 2013-14 season, they were struggling without Kane – losing four of five games – when Toews also suffered an injury on the Brooks Orpik hit against the Penguins. Without Kane

Bushrod departs after 3rd season LT released after failed physical

By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@suntimes.com

Spoiling Brett Favre Night on Thankgiving was just too much fun. On the field, the Bears stunned the favored Packers. And off it, they danced with coach John Fox in celebration.

“That has to be the highlight,” veteran left tackle Jermon Bushrod said of his three seasons with the Bears. “That’s just good ol’ fun – the longest rivalry in (NFL) history.

“But honestly, just having this opportuJermon nity to play for such a Bushrod great organization was such a tremendous honor. I really want to thank everyone from the McCaskeys on down.”

Bushrod’s run with the Bears officially ended Tuesday when he was released after failing a physical. The shoulder injury that hindered him for most of the 2015 season remains an issue.

“At the end of the day, I had to realize the situation at hand,” Bushrod said in a phone interview. “I messed up my shoulder pretty good. But I could still go. But after the year, and once I got the second opinion on it, the doctor gave me what he felt like was his best opinion.

“We have to move forward. We have to get things better physically and then we’ll worry about where we’re going to play next year.”

Bushrod’s injuries, which included a concussion, were what opened the door for Charles Leno Jr. in 2015. After Bushrod started 30 games the previous two seasons, Leno, a 2014 draft pick, took over at left tackle in Week 4 and never looked back.

That’s when reality started to set in for Bushrod, who signed a five-year, $36 million contract in 2013 after winning a Super Bowl and appearing in two Pro Bowls in six seasons with the Saints.

In January, general manager Ryan Pace expressed his confidence in Leno, saying he exceeded expectations and that he had “positive vibes.”

From a financial standpoint, $4.4 million of Bushrod’s contract remains

Left tackle Jermon Bushrod signs autographs for fans during a Family Fest event Aug. 8 at Soldier Field. The Bears released Bushrod on Tuesday. on the Bears’ books for 2016. But the team gains $4.3 million in additional salary-cap room.

“Physically, [2015] was probably one of my worst years,” Bushrod said. “But the competitive drive in me wants to find a way to get healthy and continue to get healthier, which I’ve been doing.

I feel better. But we all need to have that opportunity and that shot.”

At Halas Hall, Bushrod, 31, leaves behind a similar impact as star running back Matt Forte, who won’t be re-signed after eight seasons. Bushrod was respected and revered in the Bears’ locker room. Younger offensive linemen often called him a role model.

Pace thanked Bushrod in a statement, describing him as “a locker room leader” who helped the team grow. Bushrod also was active in the community through his foundation, which aims to inspire children from troubled areas.

“That was fun for me to be able to bring that aspect of my life here in Chicago,” Bushrod said. “I enjoyed my time here. I enjoyed my time with the coaches. I made some real friends on the team, some guys that I’m always going to be rooting for, always pushing for. Best of luck to the whole organization.”

ON THE COVER An array of dried pastas for making easy weeknight pasta dinners AP photo

Maple industry wants stricter labeling

In the maple-rich areas of New England and the upper Midwest, producers don’t approve of fakers.

Last week, industry groups from Vermont to Michigan sent letters to the Food and Drug Administration protesting food labeled as maple that doesn’t contain the real thing.

They say products such as Quaker Oats Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal and Hood maple walnut ice cream are misbranded, in violation of FDA regulations, because they don’t contain maple syrup, derived from heating sap from maple trees. Neither Quaker Oats nor Hood immediately responded to phone calls seeking comment.

– The Associated Press

Cage-free egg labels worth understanding The WASHINGTON POST If eggs are labeled cage free, is that as good as free-range? I’m willing to pay more so the chickens don’t spend their lives in chicken-jail, but sometimes the labels are confusing. By the way, why is it more expensive to let the chickens walk around?

Confusing, isn’t it? Give it a Google, and you’ll find lots of good explanations of what the labels on eggs mean. As to the question of why they’re more expensive, it’s because that kind of system is less efficient. The birds tend to have higher mortality (in part because some get pecked to death by other chickens – they’re little dinosaurs), which is the price of freedom.

You also can’t fit as many cage-free birds in a barn.

For me, it’s important. My eggs come from my own chickens, and I’ve grown to understand a little bit about the birds. I don’t want them in cages that don’t allow them to move, so I’m definitely on Team Cage-Free.

THIS WEEK’S WINNER

Theresa Kolanowski of Woodstock will receive a $25 gift certificate provided by Joseph’s Marketplace in Crystal Lake.

Note: Winner should contact merchant to obtain prize.

Turkey Chili 1 pound ground turkey (can substitute ground beef) 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 1 minced garlic clove 1 15-ounce can chili kidney beans (undrained) 1 15-ounce can tomatoes, chopped (undrained) 1 6-ounce can tomato paste 1 teaspoon chili powder

We have carrots, sweet potatoes, onions, one yellow potato and parsnips. I’ve seen two recipes for roasting but was hoping for a blend of them for dinner tonight. I’m trying to make my husband a believer. Any suggestions? Balsamic vinegar? Just olive oil and salt with some garlic?

Olive oil and salt sounds good. You also could add some warming spices – maybe some ground cinnamon or cumin or ginger.

Just got back from a trip to the Middle East and fell in love with za’atar but didn’t have the presence of mind to bring some back. Where can I get some legit za’atar around here? I’ve seen some recipes for making your own, but it looks like most are missing one ingredient or another that I noticed, mostly the types of seeds (poppy or sesame).

Do I need to make a trip to the burbs?

You can find the spice blend za’atar (sometimes spelled zatar). You can order it online at Penzeys.

Brown the meat and pour off excess fat.

Add the onion, green pepper and garlic.

Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, cumin and red pepper. Add water, if desired, for smoother chili. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with crackers.

Easily Find The Ingredients For This Week’s Recipe!

I have a lot more oatmeal than I thought.

Suggestions for use?

I might be the last one to have figured this out, but it is very easy to cook oatmeal overnight in a slow-cooker. I put the water and oats for one serving in a Pyrex bowl, put the bowl in the slow-cooker and add water about halfway up the bowl, put on the cover, turn it on low and go to bed.

In the morning, cooked hot oatmeal is waiting.

A few ideas that use old-fashioned rolled oats are baked oatmeal, oatmeal batter bread and nutty oat bars.

1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper Saltine or oyster crackers, to serve

Homemade chicken soup for when there’s no time

By KATIE WORKMAN

(20 minutes active) Servings: 6

Homemade chicken noodle soup is well-known as a panacea for whatever ails you, but the time it takes to pull it together is not always within our grasp.

Many chefs and food writers will try to convince you how easy it is to make your own homemade broth or stock. I’m not one of them. I love doing it, once in a while. When I have the time. And while it is not difficult in terms of skill needed, it takes a certain amount of preparation, a lot of ingredients and some time. Which is to say, it’s a bit of a production.

So for the days where homemade broth is not happening (for me, most days), I turn time and time again to canned or boxed broth, and I’m very satisfied.

In this soup, even more shortcuts are taken: rotisserie chicken provides not only the meat for the soup, but the rest of the chicken enhances the broth so it really tastes like a rich chicken soup. Finally, I use ramen noodles, which cook up in minutes, then are added to the hot soup. Ramen is kind of all the rage these days, and it’s interesting what’s being heralded as the greatest thing to happen to soup in all kinds of Asian restaurants also is available for pennies in the supermarket.

The trick here is to ignore the salty flavor packets that come with the noodles. The noodles will pick up the flavor from the soup itself, and you get to control the seasonings.

1 small rotisserie chicken 6 cups (1½ quarts) low-sodium chicken broth or stock 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into small chunks 3 stalks celery, cut into small chunks 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped Two 3-ounce packets ramen noodles (any flavor – the flavor packets get tossed) 1 teaspoon dried dill Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

The Associated Press

Easy Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup Start to finish: 45 minutes

Remove all of the meat from the chicken.

Set aside the skin and bones. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

In a large pot over medium, combine the chicken bones and skin, the broth, carrots, celery and onion. Bring to a simmer, partially covered. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, fill another large pot with water, salt it lightly, then bring to a boil. Add the ramen noodles, breaking them up a bit (discard the flavor packet) and cook, stirring to separate the noodles, until just barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and leave in the colander. Retain the empty cooking pot.

Once the broth has simmered for 20 minutes, strain it into the noodle cooking pot, discarding the solids (including the vegetables). Add the dill and shredded chicken, then return to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked noodles, then ladle into serving bowls.

Useful Tips to Avoid Calling for Furnace Repair This Winter Winter has reared its head & now you’re trusting your furnace more than ever. One of the best ways to keep your furnace running effortlessly is to stay up on annual maintenance and tune-ups. Below are a few easy things you can check on yourself that could keep you from being left in the cold and in need of an emergency furnace repair.

Change Your Air Filter – A nasty filter is the most common reason a heating system breaks down.

Dirt and debris keep air from passing around your system and that could possibly cause your furnace to overheat. Swapping your furnace filter is the easiest way to help try to extend the lifetime of your heating system and avoid furnace repair.

Keep Air Vents Open - There’s wrong information out there about closing off vents in vacant rooms. In theory closing off vents actually puts an unneeded strain on your system that could lead to issues in the future.

www.camstemp.com

Check Your Thermostat - Sometimes when your furnace isn’t operating properly, the problem may be an easy fix due to depleted batteries in your thermostat. Typically, your thermostat will offer a warning approximately a month before the battery runs out, but if you missed it, that may be the cause of your heating problems.

Along with these easy tips, the best advice is to keep up with annual, scheduled furnace maintenance. If you haven’t booked your annual furnace service yet, you can easily set up an appointment online: www. camstemp.com or if give us a call at 815-455-3351.

How long should my furnace or air conditioner last?

Older furnace units, made prior to 1990 typically last for 10 - 15 years. Newer furnaces with a stainless steel heat exchanger may last longer. Older air conditioners last 10 - 12 years, while newer units can last 15 - 20 years. All lasting longer with proper maintenance.
