Good morning, McHenry County ...

Plenty of money in 66th House primary Four active candidates to replace the retiring Mike Tryon help make the Republican primary for the state’s 66th House District among the richest races in the state.

According to Aldertrack’s 2016 Illinois Racing Form, the 66th GOP primary ranks No. 13 on the total-funds-per-race list. On Wednesday, I looked at the GOP primary for the state’s 26th Senate District, which ranked No. 8 with a total funds figure of $373,516.17.

In the 66th GOP primary – which pits Paul Serwatka, Carolyn Schofield, Allen Skillicorn and Dan Wilbrandt against each other – the totals funds are $315,525.02. That number represents, for the four 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.

Tells lawmakers to pass his reforms or allow budget cuts

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner told state lawmakers during his Wednesday budget address that they have two choices to end an eight-month budget impasse and start getting a grip on the state’s worsening financial condition.

Either lawmakers can enact elements of his cost-saving “Turnaround Agenda” in exchange for a larger $36 billion budget, or give him the authority to make $4 billion in cuts to balance this year’s books, he told lawmakers.

Rauner maintained his position that he will not support new revenue, meaning new taxes, without major structural reforms to how Illinois does business.

Illinois has been without a 2016 budget since July 1 because of the stalemate between Rauner and legislative Democrats who control the House and Senate with three-fifths supermajorities.

“Either you give the executive branch the authority to cut spending to live within our means. Or we agree – together – on economic and governmental reforms, to accompany a negotiated balance of spending reductions and revenue, that ensures that Illinois can be both compassionate and comMichael petitive,” Rauner said.

Madigan “You choose. But please, choose now,” he added.

Rauner, elected in 2014, wants significant reforms to workers’ compensation, tort liability and collective bargainJohn ing, and a property tax Cullerton freeze, to improve what he calls an unfriendly atmosphere that is driving jobs, and a growing number of taxpayers, out of the state.

Democratic lawmakers, led by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, counter that the proposals go too far and will hurt working families, and that they should be dealt with separately from the state budget.

WOODSTOCK

State budget impasse has led to using reserve funds

Jean E. Haldeman 79, Harvard

Get text alerts

WOODSTOCK – Despite state funds being withheld because of the budget impasse, Family Alliance Inc. Comprehensive Care Services has continued to provide health care services to adults and the aging in McHenry County with funds from its own reserves and a line of credit, Executive Director Kim Larson said.

However, the agency has announced that it is exhausting its resources, and How to help its services are in jeopardy of being decreased or disconYou can donate tinued. to Family Alli“I think it’s very ance by visiting admirable that familyallianceinc. we’re all hanging in org/donate/. there and trying to do this, but the reality is we can’t keep doing this,” Larson said.

Family Alliance, which is based in Woodstock, has been in the community for about 30 years. Its Huntley location opened in September 2014. In the past year, Larson said about 1,100 individuals were served by Family Alliance.

About 20 percent of Family Alliance’s annual budget comes from the state, Larson said.

Although no final decisions have been

“I think it’s very admirable that we’re all hanging in there and trying to do this, but the reality is we can’t keep doing this.”

Kim Larson

Family Alliance Inc. executive director

made, she said, the first step likely would be to decrease the number of people who attend the day programs that are funded by the Illinois Department of Aging.

The state owes more than $98,000 for Family Alliance’s adult day services programs, Larson said.

She said the Illinois Department of Aging is paying for Medicaid recipients, but about 50 percent of the costs have to be picked up by Family Alliance.

The adult day health programs and memory care and respite programs see about 40 to 50 clients a day between both locations, Larson said.

Susin Macintyre, a 68-year-old Harvard resident, has been coming to Family Alliance for counseling services and the adult day health program for about four years.

The day program allows her to get out of the house and take part in activities that range from going over the daily news to playing trivia.

Macintyre has Parkinson’s disease, and her visits to the center are funded by the

Department of Aging. Losing the program could be “disastrous,” Macintyre said, because Family Alliance checks on her at home, where she lives alone.

“I think a lot of people besides me would be lost if we didn’t have something like this to come to,” Macintyre said.

The programs also help caregivers of people attending the adult day programs, Larson said.

Susan Jette of McHenry is the caretaker for her husband, Al Jette, who has Alzheimer’s. Al Jette has been funded through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to come to the adult day program for the last year.

“They’re not only helping him, they’re helping me with my mental well-being, also,” Susan Jette said. “Because dealing with someone with dementia Alzheimer’s is very demanding physically, but also mentally and emotionally.”

Other cuts may have to come from the transportation services Family Alliance provides, Larson said, and from the reduction of its 54 employees.

Behavioral health service may take a hit, too, Larson said, although the McHenry County Mental Health Board provides funding for those services.

When asked whether Family Alliance could shut down completely, Larson said, “I think that we’re doing everything that we possibly can so we don’t have to.”

Larson hopes that people will speak out and contact legislators about how the budget impasse is affecting local agencies.

Pioneer Center set to request emergency funds to stay open

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Pioneer Center for Human Services will ask the McHenry County Mental Health Board on Thursday for emergency funding to keep it afloat while it sheds services and infrastructure under a restructuring plan.

Under the plan, which Pioneer Board Chairman Mike Moushey outlined Tuesday evening to the McHenry County Board, the center will transfer its behavioral health services and clients to other agencies, and prepare to lease or sell two of its facilities.

But because the savings will take 60 to 90 days to materialize, it is asking the Mental Health Board for short-term funding. The board will meet Thursday afternoon to vote on the matter.

“Even after those efforts, and based on our current and projected cash-flow positions, we are no longer able to sustain the breadth of Pioneer programs and services as they exist today without an additional and immediate infusion of cash,” Moushey told County Board members.

Moushey said Tuesday night that the amount to be requested still was being finalized, but Pioneer announced last week that it would need to raise at least $400,000 immediately to keep from closing its doors. McHenry-based Pioneer is the county’s largest social service provider.

Under the plan, Pioneer still would hold true to its original mission of helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and still will maintain its group homes. It also will maintain control of Public Action to Deliver Shelter, the homelessness agency it absorbed in 2006.

The current eight-month budget stalemate in Springfield – the state owes Pioneer more than $1.5 million in late payments – is the main component of what Moushey has called a “perfect storm” of problems. The state accounts for about 60 percent of Pioneer’s funding.

Pioneer has been dealing with numerous problems with billing for behavioral health services, many of which it inherited when it absorbed the services of Family Service, which

shuttered its doors in 2012. It also has experienced significant turnover of top management.

Pioneer, which serves 4,800 people a year, has already cut its $18 million budget by $2 million.

The closing of Pioneer Center would cause problems throughout the county as the disabled and the homeless end up without care, Moushey said Tuesday evening.

“You’ve got clients out there that need care. If they aren’t provided that care, they are going to be disadvantaged,” he said. “The homeless at PADS won’t have a home. There will be impacts to the community and to the police. You’ll have folks who need support and help who aren’t going to get it.”

Pioneer is accepting donations to help keep it afloat.

Donations can be made at www. savepioneer.org or sent to Pioneer Center for Human Services, 4100 Veterans Parkway, McHenry, IL 60050. Contact Marilou Niggemann, interim director of development, with questions at 815759-7128 or mniggemann@pioneercenter.org.

threatening, Klunk said.

Klunk said he was not certain whether the juveniles were connected to a Feb. 4 incident where a student was removed from school after a conversation involving a student threatening to bring a weapon to school was overheard, according to an advisory from Huntley Community School District 158.

There was increased police presence at the school the week of Feb. 8 after a single bullet was found at the school Feb. 7. A sweep of the school on that day uncovered no other items, and Klunk said police do not think that incident is related.

All five boys have been petitioned to McHenry County Juvenile Court. Klunk said they are not currently in custody.

Klunk said there have not been any more threat-related issues at the school since police began their investigation.

Police are encouraging parents to speak with their children about appropriate use of social media and the potential consequences of bullying, harassment or threats.

MARENGO – A woman was airlifted to St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford with serious injuries Wednesday after her Honda CR-V crashed into a loose horse on Route 20, a Marengo fire official said.

The horse had to be put down because of injuries sustained in the crash.

A fire official said the woman was driving southeast near 8122 S. Route 20 around 6:15 p.m. when her vehicle hit a horse that had gotten loose in the area.

As of Wednesday night, fire officials were not certain where the horse came from.

The horse broke through the windshield of the SUV, the firefighter said, and injured the woman.

No one else was in the vehicle, which sustained heavy damage. It was unknown exactly how fast the vehicle was traveling, but the speed limit on that road is 55 miles an hour, a fire official said. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the Union Fire Department also responded to the scene. Route 20 was closed for several hours as officials worked at the scene.

HUNTLEY – Five male Huntley High School students were charged with disorderly conduct after they allegedly made threatening comments and social media postings that police say negatively affected attendance at Huntley High School.

Four boys – an Algonquin 15-yearold, a Lake in the Hills 16-year-old, an Algonquin 17-year-old and a Huntley 16-year-old – were charged with Class 4 felonies. A Lake in the Hills 17-year-old boy was charged with a Class C misdemeanor.

Police said high school officials became aware between Feb. 3 and 5 of a small number of isolated comments and social media posts that were threatening in nature. After those comments, Huntley High School saw an increase in absenteeism, specifically on Feb. 8.

Huntley Deputy Police Chief Michael Klunk said the bulk of the comments were made on Facebook or Twitter, al-

though at least one of the juveniles made a verbal comment that led to charges.

He said the incidents happened on several different days.

“Some of them jumped on the bandwagon and jumped on other things that were reposted,” Klunk said. “That’s what kind of caught on and caused a disturbance, created the rumors and created additional issues.”

He said at least one of the posts threatened a specific student by name, while others threatened the school’s student body in general.

“The varying degrees of threats and who specifically threats went to and how detailed they were, those were taken into account as [charges] were decided,” Klunk said.

After an investigation of the comments, the Huntley Police Department conferred with the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office and charged the five juveniles.

More students were questioned in the investigation but were not charged after police deemed their posts were not

Police are looking for these Northbrook burglary suspects in connection to a series of break-ins of nearly 90 suburban Chicago beauty and nail salons, including burglaries in Cary and Crystal Lake.

Fillmore said police have compared images captured from Dolce Day Spa to the photos issued by Northbrook.

“Based on the surveillance, it appears there are some similarities,” Fillmore said.

Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli in a news release issued earlier this month said most

of the burglaries in his area have occurred in the evening and overnight hours.

The offenders typically gain access to the salon by breaking a window or forcing the door open, he said.

Covelli encouraged business owners to provide ample lighting inside and outside of the business while the business is open and closed.

He also advised business owners

to reinforce door frames and use door locks with deadbolts.

Fillmore added cash should be stored in a safe or off-site.

Northbrook police asked anyone with information to call Detective Sgt. Mark Graf at 847-664-4452 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-535-7867.

There is a $1,000 cash reward for tips leading to the arrest of the offenders.

Police in Cary and Crystal Lake are investigating two burglaries they suspect could be tied to nearly 90 burglaries to spas and beauty salons that have taken place across the suburbs over the past several months.

Cary police on Jan. 4 responded to the Dolce Day Spa, 875 Feinberg Court, after burglars broke the glass front door and stole more than $100 in cash and a hair straightener valued at $100, Deputy Chief Jim Fillmore said.

Crystal Lake responded the same day to a burglary at Paul Hyland Salon and Day Spa, 318 Memorial Drive, Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski said.

He would not elaborate on what was stolen because of the ongoing investigation.

“While we only had one reported, we are aware there have been more in multiple counties,” Kotlowski said.

“We’re actively investigating our case in cooperation with other agencies.”

Police in Northbrook on Tuesday posted photos of two young men sus-

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com The McHenry County and Winnebago County coroner’s offices have identified the Rockford University students who were killed when the car they were in crashed on I-90 near Marengo on Tuesday night.

Demonte Wigfall, 18, of Godfrey was driving east on the interstate near mile marker 32.75 when the vehicle

• RAUNER

Continued from page A3

Majewski said Wigfall was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:04 p.m.

An autopsy performed Thursday showed Wigfall died from multiple blunt force injuries as a result of the crash. Toxicology results are pending.

The front-seat passenger, Desiree Wease, 18, of Markham was pronounced dead at 7:55 p.m. after she was taken to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, Hintz said. His office plans to perform an autopsy on

Wease on Thursday.

Wigfall and Wease were ejected from the vehicle, police said.

The vehicle’s two other occupants, who Hintz said also were Rockford University students, were reported to be in stable condition.

The eastbound lanes were closed for about six hours while the crash was investigated and cleaned up. Police are continuing to investigate the crash.

on the reforms we’ve proposed, and if you’re unwilling to work with us to enact a balanced budget with a mix of reform, cost reductions and revenue, we still must fulfill our shared responsibility to enact a balanced budget,” Rauner said. “No reform means we cannot in good conscience raise taxes on the hardworking families of Illinois. Instead, cuts will have to be made.”

But Rauner made clear his desire not to Rep. David jeopardize funding for McSweeney public schools if the budget battle continues, and asked lawmakers at least to approve a separate bill funding public schools.

The one part of the current 2016 budget that he did not veto last year was for

early childhood, primary and secondary education.

“No matter how this [legislative] session unfolds, send that education bill to my desk – clean, no games – and I’ll sign it immediately,” Rauner said.

A glance at the legislative calendar for the ongoing spring session, however, does not bode well for any thought of action or compromise.

House lawmakers do not meet again unRep. Jack til March, and there are Franks only three session days scheduled for the whole month.

Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, echoed the call of other local lawmakers that they should be in special session until a budget deal is

reached.

He called the months-long delay unconscionable, pointing to the fact that Pioneer Center for Human Services, McHenry County’s largest social service agency, could close without emergency funding.

“We need to immediately adopt a budget without a tax increase. This has gotten to the point where this has become obscene,” McSweeney said.

State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, again called for both Rauner and lawmakers to work together to come to an agreement. He said negotiation, not speeches, will solve the budget crisis.

“Today, the leaders of our state came together to hear another speech. Tomorrow and every day thereafter, we need to come together and solve the budget crisis,” Franks said.

pass elements of his agenda before he would even consider raising taxes.

While about 90 percent of the state’s bills still are being paid because of court orders and existing state statutes, a number of vendors, such as social service agencies and public universities, are not getting paid.

Illinois faces a deficit of about $5 billion this year, not counting a backlog of unpaid bills that could exceed $10 billion without a responsible budget in place.

Rauner said that he would prefer to go it alone if it comes to cuts, but said he needs that authority from lawmakers if they are unwilling to work with him.

News from across the state Lawmakers, school leaders discuss funding solutions

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers continue to struggle to find a viable solution to the state’s 20-year-long problem funding education.

Members of the Illinois House Education Task Force heard from suburban Chicago superintendents at their first meeting Tuesday. Suburban superintendents in wealthy property districts say plans that take money from their schools to give to poorer ones could result in multimillion-dollar losses and burden taxpayers in wealthy areas.

GOP leaders said recent reform plans create a system of winners and losers.

Democratic Rep. William Davis said he doubts lawmakers will agree on adequate funding plan.

Superintendents agreed on ways to raise money such as adding a 1-cent sales tax. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has said he will not support a plan that takes money from some districts.

The task force will meet throughout the spring.

Clinton joined by mothers of gun violence victims

CHICAGO – Hillary Clinton has been joined at a campaign rally by mothers of several young people who were victims of Chicago’s gun violence.

Also joining Clinton on Wednesday was the mother of a black suburban Chicago woman who was found dead in her jail cell after a traffic stop in Texas.

The Democratic presidential candidate said the stories of the mothers’ tragedies “must move us to action.” She’s calling for tougher gun laws and changes to policing policies.

Clinton was introduced by Geneva Reed-Veal, the mother of Sandra Bland.

Bland died days after she was arrested last year by a white officer after a routine traffic stop. A medical examiner ruled her death a suicide, though Bland’s family has questioned that account and how the stop was handled.

Next Ill. government holiday could be Obama’s birthday

SPRINGFIELD – A group of Illinois House Democrats are proposing President

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton makes a point Wednesday during a campaign stop in Chicago.

Barack Obama’s birthday become the next state holiday.

The Springfield Journal-Register reported Presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson are the only former presidents that have their own state holidays.

The proposal said Aug. 4 would be considered a “legal holiday” in which state government offices, schools and businesses can close.

Bill sponsor Rep. Andre Thapedi says President Obama’s distinctions as a Nobel Peace Prize winner and first black president of the U.S. are reasons to honor him.

Obama served eight years as a state senator and four years as a U.S. senator.

Illinois recognizes 13 state and federal holidays. If successful, the plan would be the first bill to establish a state holiday since 1977.

Softball player apologizes for menorah damage

CHAMPAIGN – A suspended University of Illinois softball player has apologized for damaging a menorah at

the school’s Jewish student center.

In a letter to The Champaign News-Gazette, junior Ruby Rivera said she wants to “deeply apologize” and she takes “full-on responsibility” for her actions.

She also said there was “at no point any disrespect or malice meant toward any community or religion.”

One arm of the aluminum menorah at the Chabad Jewish Center was found broken Feb. 7. It was the third time in the past year that the menorah had been vandalized.

Rivera wrote that the incident happened during “a night out,” which she said wasn’t “meant as an excuse, but more of an explanation” of her actions.

She said she is “willing to pay the cost for the damages that I caused.”

“Once again, I did not intend to make people feel hurt, concerned or nervous for my actions that took place (that) Sunday morning,” Rivera wrote.

She is scheduled to appear in court later this month on a tentative charge of criminal damage to property. No official charges have been filed.

United Airlines mechanics vote down contract offer

CHICAGO – Mechanics at United Airlines soundly rejected a new contract and voted to authorize a strike.

The airline’s CEO said United was eager to restart negotiations and he would intervene to help reach an agreement.

The Teamsters union said Tuesday that more than 93 percent of mechanics who voted turned down the company’s latest contract offer, which included a lower pay scale for new hires. United, the nation’s third-biggest airline, has more than 9,000 mechanics.

The Teamsters union said that mechanics deserved a better offer because the airline is very profitable – parent United Continental Holdings Inc. recently reported a $7.3 billion profit in 2015.

The union said it will ask the National Mediation Board for permission to strike.

Strikes have become rare in the U.S. airline industry. Under federal law, the board must declare an impasse in negotiations before airline unions can legally strike after a 30-day “cooling-off” period.

In a statement, United CEO Oscar Munoz said the airline was disappointed by the vote and was eager to resume bargaining. He vowed to meet personally with labor leaders to reach an agreement.

Chicago-based United said the mediation board has indicated it will meet with both sides March 3 in Washington.

Judge warns Chicago about starting Lucas Museum work

CHICAGO – A federal judge has warned Chicago officials that if the court allows construction to start on “Star Wars” creator George Lucas’ lakefront museum, it may have to be torn down later if opponents of the project win their civil case.

Judge John Darrah said Wednesday he’ll rule by April 21 on a city request to lift an order barring construction from starting.

Lucas wants to build the $400 million, 300,000-square-foot Lucas Museum of Narrative Art along Lake Michigan near Soldier Field.

The nonprofit Friends of the Parks is suing, arguing that building the museum at the site violates laws restricting development along the lake.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Darrah suggested both sides try to agree on preliminary steps the city could take while the lawsuit continues.

Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks Nov. 15 in Milan, Italy. A U.S. magistrate judge has ordered Apple to help the FBI break into a work-issued iPhone used by one of the two gunmen in the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, a significant legal victory for the Justice Department in an ongoing policy battle between digital privacy and national security.

Fight over gunman’s locked iPhone could have big impact The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – An extraordinary legal fight is brewing with major privacy implications for millions of cellphone users after a federal magistrate ordered Apple Inc. to help the FBI hack into an iPhone used by the gunman in the San Bernardino mass shootings.

The clash brings to a head a long-simmering debate between technology companies insistent on protecting digital privacy and law enforcement agencies concerned about losing their ability to recover evidence or eavesdrop on the communications of terrorists or criminals.

On Wednesday, the White House quickly disputed the contention by Apple’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, that the Obama administration is seeking to force the software company to build a “backdoor” to bypass digital locks protecting consumer information on Apple’s popular iPhones.

The early arguments set the stage for what will likely be a protracted policy and public relations fight in the courts, on Capitol Hill, on the Internet and elsewhere.

“They are not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to one of their products,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “They’re simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device.”

Within hours of the judge’s order on Tuesday telling Apple to aid the FBI with special software in the case, Cook promised a court challenge. He said the software the FBI would need to unlock the gunman’s work-issued iPhone 5C would be “too dangerous to create” and “undeniably” a backdoor.

Cook compared it to a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks, and said there was no way to keep the technique secret once it was developed.

“Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge,” Cook said.

At the center of the debate is the private information carried on nearly 900 million iPhones sold worldwide: Photographs, videos, chat messages, health records and more.

There also was swift reaction on the presidential campaign trail, where Donald Trump told Fox News that he agreed “100 percent with the courts,” and on Capitol Hill, where the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, R-N.C., said, “Court orders are not optional and Apple should comply.”

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who fought encryption in the 1990s, said she thought the government should be able to access the phone. On Twitter, Edward Snowden called it “the most important tech case in a decade.”

Court may face extended period with 8 justices

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Is eight enough?

The Supreme Court has managed to function effectively at less than its full nine-member strength for two extended periods in the past 50 years. The question now is whether the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in the middle of the court term and a polarizing presidential campaign will make it harder for the justices to get their work done.

Scalia’s colleagues will mourn their longtime friend and fellow justice this week before resuming their work on a lineup of cases fraught with political implications.

Their test will be whether they can reach decisions in cases involving abortion, labor unions, President Barack Obama’s health care law, voting rights, immigration and other topics without reaching an inconclusive 4-4 vote.

Adding spice to the mix is the unusual makeup of the court, with four liberal-leaning Democratic appointees and four conservative-leaning Republican appointees.

One of the term’s biggest cases will be argued on March 2, when the justices weigh whether Texas’ strict regulation

The Supreme Court building is seen Saturday in Washington, D.C. of abortion clinics impinges on a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion.

Scalia would have been a sure vote to sustain the regulations.

If Senate Republicans hold fast to their vow not to confirm anyone Obama nominates, then the Supreme Court will operate with eight justices not just for the rest of this term, but for most of the

next one as well. High court terms begin in October, and the 80 or so cases argued in the course of a term typically are decided by early summer.

The court would be unable to issue nationwide rulings on any issue in which the justices split 4-4. “That would essentially be putting the Supreme Court in gridlock for two terms,” said

Elizabeth Wydra, president of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center.

Some Supreme Court law clerks who worked at the court when there was a prolonged vacancy recalled that business proceeded apace, without additional tension and only a handful of split decisions. At the same time, the justices postponed consideration of some major cases while they awaited a new justice.

“The main impact of an eight-man court that term ... was that the court decided few cases involving significant constitutional law,” Taylor Reveley, a law clerk for Justice William Brennan in 1969-70 and now president of the College of William and Mary.

The most notable of the deferred cases may have been challenges to the death penalty, according to Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong’s book “The Brethren.” Harry Blackmun joined the court in May 1970, after the Democratic-controlled Senate rejected President Richard Nixon’s first two choices.

It was another two years, after the retirements of two more justices, before the court took up the issue and struck down every state death penalty statute.

The Supreme Court heard about 150 cases in those years – almost twice as many as today.

against the ad has no chance, and said he would like to take Trump’s deposition himself. He also announced plans to run the contested ad more frequently.

“Please Donald, file this lawsuit,” Cruz said during a CNN presidential forum Wednesday night.

The prospective legal Donald battle marks another exTrump traordinary step in the turbulent 2016 Republican primary season.

Polls suggest Trump continues to hold a big lead in South Carolina and in upcoming states, as Cruz works to rally the Jeb Bush Republican Party’s most conservative wing and Rubio tries to consolidate mainstream Republicans behind his candidacy.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich continue to batBen Carson tle for a spot at the table, while retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson struggles for relevancy.

Haley’s endorsement was a major setback for Bush in particular, who told

The hottest furnace dealer in town!

NBC News on Monday that “she is the probably the most meaningful endorsement” if there is one in the state.

Bush on Wednesday said her decision left him “disappointed.” At one point during a Summerville campaign stop, Bush mimicked pundits suggesting the race is over.

“It’s all decided, we don’t have to go vote, I guess, it’s all finished,” Bush told the crowd in remarks circulated by rival campaigns. “I should stop campaigning maybe, huh? It’s all done. That’s not how democracy works.”

Rubio continued his assault against Cruz’s campaign tactics. He accused Cruz supporters of using “push polls” and creating a fake Facebook page wrongly claiming South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy had switched his endorsement from the Florida senator to Cruz.

“He’s been lying,” Rubio said during the CNN forum. “If you say something that isn’t true and you say it over and over again, and you know that it’s not true, there’s no other word for it.”

Cruz denied being involved with anything untoward and called for anyone with evidence to come forward.

Trump and Rubio are “repeatedly putting forth fabrications with no evidence, no basis whatsoever, just trying to throw mud and attack,” Cruz said.

CHAPIN, S.C. – A three-way feud among the GOP’s leading White House contenders escalated Wednesday, with Republican Ted Cruz daring Donald Trump to sue him and dismissing Marco Rubio’s charges of dishonesty just days before South Carolina’s high-stakes primary.

Yet it was Rubio who may have scored the day’s biggest win as he secured the coveted endorsement of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. The popular governor said she was tasked with identifying the best candidate as she surveyed the crowded GOP field.

“If we elect Marco Rubio, every day will be a great day in America,” she said alongside the Florida senator during an evening rally in suburban Columbia.

While a major development, Haley’s endorsement did little to quiet the intensifying clash between Cruz, Trump and Rubio over alleged ethical violations in the days leading up to Saturday’s South Carolina contest.

Cruz, the Texas senator, has been trying to beat back charges of dishonesty from Trump and Rubio for weeks.

He shifted his defense to the next level during an afternoon news conference

that highlighted Cruz’s extensive legal training.

“You have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life,” said Cruz, a Harvard Law School graduate, speaking directly to Trump. “Even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake.”

Ted Cruz Trump threatened earlier in the week to bring a defamation lawsuit against Cruz over a television ad that attacks the Republican front-runner’s conservative bona fides. Specifically, the ad features footage of the Marco Rubio billionaire businessman in a 1999 interview supporting abortion rights.

Trump now says he opposes abortion.

Trump’s attorney sent Cruz a letter Tuesday charging the ad was “re- John Kasich plete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements” and saying Cruz could be held liable for damages if it’s not taken down.

Cruz on Wednesday said a lawsuit

OUR VIEW

Budget first, then schools Illinois has a lot of problems.

One of them is the state school funding formula, which dates back to 1997 and – many people agree – shortchanges students in poorer school districts.

Making the funding formula more equitable is the goal of legislators in both houses of the Illinois General Assembly.

Senate Democrats For the record have offered a couple plans. Last year, a There’s another, even greater bill sponsored by crisis that we’d like to see Senate President resolved first: the budget crisis.

John Cullerton was approved by the Senate. It would phase out the current school funding system and create a new system, based on the research of a task force.

A second bill, sponsored by Bunker Hill Democratic Sen. Andy Manar, would, among other things, create a funding formula based on local districts’ needs, so those with a lower property tax base would receive more money from the state.

Manar’s formula would send more state money to schools with more special education students than average. It also would factor in differences in the cost of living across the state.

Over in the House, Speaker Michael Madigan said this month he plans to appoint a bipartisan panel to come up with a plan to ensure equitable school funding.

Where would the money come from to bring the “have-nots” up to fair funding levels without penalizing the “haves”? Majority Democrats support a higher state income tax rate, and Madigan wants to add a surtax on Illinoisans who earn more than $1 million a year.

Both are nonstarters, in our view.

The futures of thousands of schoolchildren hang in the balance. No wonder Cullerton called it “the defining crisis of our time.”

Yet, there’s another, even greater crisis that we’d like to see resolved first: the budget crisis.

The lack of a full state budget since July 1, 2015, continues to weaken our state.

Comptroller Leslie Munger said Illinois is on track to fall $6.2 billion further into debt this fiscal year because of the budget stalemate. She expects Illinois to spend $1.2 billion more than it did last year, while taking in $5 billion less because of the partial expiration of the temporary income tax increase.

Illinois’ budget woes, growing more urgent by the day, must be resolved first.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Things Obama, Ryan must get done this year Even lame ducks have been known to fly. Teddy Roosevelt made the Grand Canyon a national monument in his final year as president. Ronald Reagan steered a historic reduction of nuclear weapons through the U.S. Senate while communism was collapsing.

Expectations are understandably low for the final year of Barack Obama’s second term. A highly partisan presidential election only will encourage further gridlock in Washington.

Yet with help from House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, some big things still can get done.

Obama, of course, is a Democrat, while Ryan is a Republican.

The two were rivals in 2012, when Ryan ran as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee.

Big differences on policy and politics shouldn’t stop progress for America. Where agreement does exist, legislation should move forward, with both leaders

benefiting from accomplishment.

Ryan has little interest in enhancing Obama’s legacy, but approving popular measures with bipartisan support will improve the GOP’s chances of holding swing seats – and majority control – in the House this fall.

Four of Obama’s priorities can and must be achieved, with the Democratic president staying open to GOP suggestions for cooperation: 1. Approve the free trade agreement with a dozen Pacific Rim countries. This won’t be easy because several Republican and Democratic presidential candidates are stoking economic fears for electoral advantage, but free markets are the most effective way to lift prosperity in America and abroad. The Trans-Pacific Partnership will let the U.S. guide the rules for global trade, rather than China.

2. Commit more resources to fighting cancer. The president

called for a “moonshot” effort to cure cancer in his State of the Union address. The goal deserves more resources for research. If new dollars can’t be found, then existing federal spending should be reprioritized.

3. Confront heroin addiction.

Bipartisan support for stopping this scourge is strong, as evidenced by several smart laws the Wisconsin Legislature has adopted in recent years. This includes stricter monitoring of pain medications, better data to improve deterrents and wider availability of a drug that counteracts overdoses.

4. Overhaul the criminal justice system. Ryan seems especially interested in this goal as a way to reduce poverty. He and the president have expressed support for flexibility on sentencing nonviolent drug offenders, and doing a better job of reintegrating inmates back into society.

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.

Kenneally outside of the office

To the Editor: In the midst of all the craziness with elections, I wanted to write on a personal level regarding candidate for state’s attorney Patrick Kenneally.

Knowing what a candidate stands for regarding policy is imperative, but understanding his character outside the office is just as valuable.

I have known Patrick for several years and had the opportunity to get to know him.

Patrick and his wife provided me with an opportunity to nanny their son.

Patrick offered me this position during a difficult time financially. Patrick chose to assist me, simply because he wanted to help.

I observed the following: involved with charitable organizations, commitments to being a lifelong learner, perseverance at being a father, devotedness to being a hardworking provider for his family.

I care about facts, about what I’ve seen and experienced and about integrity.

This is Pat. Vote March 15.

Personal endorsement for Cowlin

To the Editor: Overall, very few actually land in front of a judge, so how can anybody decide how good one might be before stepping into the voting booth?

The Reece family has known the Cowlin family since October 1960, when my mother and Mary Cowlin met in the hospital after giving birth to a couple of sons.

Together, through the decades, our families would celebrate holidays, participate in community activities, attend our weddings, celebrate new generations entering the world and seeing the older one pass on.

Jim was raised, like all of Hank and Mary’s kids, a decent, solid, community-minded person with a strong sense of right and wrong, grounded in generations of Cowlin family history in this county.

You can read elsewhere about his experience, but I know personally Jim has all it takes to continue serving McHenry County as an excellent judge.

Please vote James Cowlin for circuit judge.

To the Editor: I urge my friends who live in the 66th House District to study the qualifications of Carolyn Schofield, and, if you agree with me, cast your vote in the primary for her March 15.

I have observed her during her service on the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council, the McHenry County Board and as chair of the county Planning and Development Committee.

She is an impressive young woman who brings discernment and determination to the task of setting policy to right the ship.

We need to encourage young parents such as Carolyn to enter state politics.

Together, with her husband, they have given tirelessly of their time to the youth programs in our community.

Carolyn will be a worthy successor to the two who most immediately preceded her and will be a perfect complement to our state senator.

McLaughlin.

While others may talk of what they hope to accomplish, only McLaughlin has the résumé and abilities necessary for new effective leadership in Springfield.

Professionally, McLaughlin oversees an investment advisory firm specializing in police, fire and municipal pension management. A McHenry County resident since 2005, he was elected village president of Barrington Hills in 2013, and he has successfully used common-sense business practices to reduce spending, cut taxes and settle nagging legal disputes.

McLaughlin understands what is most important to his constituents: Protecting the interests of seniors by opposing a retirement tax; making sure families don’t continue to be overwhelmed by growing property taxes; and creating a business-friendly atmosphere, where businesses will want to expand workforces with quality jobs, without undue regulations.

For many older workers, retirement expectations don’t meet reality

By ADAM ALLINGTON The Associated Press

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Earl Johnston was 12 when he got his first job, a paper route that he quickly expanded by “buying out” additional routes from other, less industrious boys.

After high school, he enrolled in a program to become an industrial electrician.

“With that journeyman’s card in my back pocket, I had never had trouble finding work – ever,” he said.

Like many people in the prime of their working life, Johnston, now 56, always thought he would have plenty set aside for retirement. If he didn’t, he always could work up to 65, he thought.

What Johnston didn’t plan for was the degenerative spinal condition that made being on his feet for a 12-hour shift all but impossible.

“I could be making lots and lots of money right now, but nobody in manufacturing is going to hire a 50-something guy who can’t stay on his feet,” he said.

Johnston’s story might be chalked up to simple bad luck. But it serves as an example of the rapidly changing expectations that seniors have for being able to work well past traditional retirement age and, in some cases, dismissing the idea of retirement altogether.

According to the 2015 Employment Benefit Research Institute Confidence Survey, the percentage of workers aged 25 and older who planned on working past 65 has increased steadily from 11 percent in 1991 to 36 percent in 2015.

But those expectations aren’t always achievable.

The University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study found that 37 percent of respondents didn’t reach the retirement age they had set when they were 58.

“The first, and maybe the most obvious explanation people give for early retire-

Earl Johnston of Ypsilanti, Mich., is pictured. Increasing numbers of Americans are expecting to work well past the traditional retirement age and, in some cases, they are dismissing the idea of retirement altogether. ment is health,” said Boston College research economist Geoff Sanzenbacher, co-author of a working paper investigating causes for this mismatch between retirement expectations and reality. “People don’t fully grasp how big an impact health has on your ability to work. You may be 58 and have some arthritis, but you don’t fully appreciate how much that could affect you going forward.”

The second most common reason was layoffs or business closings, followed by familial factors, such as a spouse retiring, he said.

The average retirement age has been inching up for years now. People are living longer, tend to be more educated and have better access to white-collar jobs that don’t require a lot of manual labor.

Women also are reaching older age with more skills and longer work histories than their mothers and grandmothers.

Even as roughly two-

thirds of workers do make it to the age they planned to retire, a report by the Hamilton Project at Brookings Institution suggests a growing percentage of them are entering retirement on shaky financial footing.

There’s also the perception working longer is the best way to bridge the gap between retirement needs and resources.

“It’s become a kind of Band-Aid solution to growing concerns many workers have about retirement readiness,” said Ruth Davis Konigsberg, a contributor to Money.com and a director at Arden Asset Management. “In some cases, working longer can help, and there certainly are other benefits to working longer, but we can’t just extend our working lives indefinitely.”

2018 was going to be a banner year for Karen Hoffmann, 64. That was the year the mortgage on her St. Louis home would be paid off, and she and her husband were

planning to retire.

But Hoffman received notice late in 2015 that she was being let go from her job as a senior trainer for Verizon.

“Right now we just have to re-evaluate,” she said. “Originally we thought we could go south for the winter for a month or two, now I don’t think we’ll be able to do that.”

Between their savings and Social Security, Hoffmann estimates she might have enough money to retire a few years early. Still, the prospect of unforeseen health care costs is unnerving. And, if she does take a new job, for less pay, she worries it would change her future Social Security payouts.

“Do I go look for a job? Part of me says yes, but I honestly don’t know,” Hoffmann said.

“Could I fill up my time with retirement? Sure. I have two grandkids. In that respect, being retired would be nice.

But, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready for the financial side of things.”

Centegra delivers quicker which lowers a patient’s body temperature to preserve the heart care in McHenry

McHENRY – A new alert system at Centegra Hospital – McHenry allows staff across numerous departments to better treat patients in the critical hours after suffering a heart attack, hospital staff said in a news release.

The protocol teaches staff in the emergency department, intensive care unit and cath lab to follow the best practices for therapeutic hypothermia,

brain and vital organs.

“In the case of post cardiac arrest care, time equals brain,” said Patrycja Nowak, a nurse at the hospital’s intensive care unit. “We foresee target temperature modulation as the best recovery option for our patients.”

A committee examined ways to reduce the time to deliver therapeutic hypothermia.

Jury acquits Ohio man accused of stalking Gwyneth Paltrow LOS ANGELES – A jury acquitted an Ohio man on Wednesday of stalking Gwyneth Paltrow after prosecutors said he sent her dozens of unsolicited letters and gifts in recent years.

The case against Dante Soiu, 66, was the second in which he was accused of stalking the actress.

The Columbus native was committed to a mental institution in the early 2000s after he was accused of sending lewd messages and sex toys to the actress and found not guilty by reason of insanity.

The jury of six men and six women began deliberations on Tuesday in the latest case.

They heard from a variety of witnesses, including Paltrow, who described the fear she felt after learning Soiu was writing to her again.

One letter described Paltrow “bowing to death,” a reference the actress found disturbing. In another, Soiu wrote: “I have a goal: to marry Gwyneth Paltrow and take care of her.”

Soiu also testified at the trial, telling jurors he was a changed man who continued to write to Paltrow because he wanted her forgiveness for his earlier messages.

Jury foreman Ryan Austin said jurors found Paltrow and Soiu were credible witnesses, but the panel ultimately had doubts that Soiu intended to frighten the actress.

He said the jury thought Soiu’s conduct was reprehensible, especially in light of the previous pornographic messages to the actress, but didn’t amount to felony stalking. None of Soiu’s recent correspondence to Paltrow included lewd messages or sex toys.

PHILADELPHIA – Bill Cosby has filed a sealed breach-of-contract lawsuit against Pennsylvania sexual assault accuser Andrea Constand, her lawyer, her mother and the National Enquirer’s publisher.

The defendants are subject to confidentiality clauses covering the settlement of lawsuits Constand filed against Cosby and the tabloid in 2005.

Constand accuses Cosby of drugging and molesting her at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Her complaint wasn’t prosecuted until December, when a new district attorney reopened it and charged Cosby with sexual assault.

Cosby filed the lawsuit a day before a Feb. 2 criminal court hearing that included testimony from Constand lawyer Dolores Troiani. The judge warned Cosby’s lawyers not to accuse Troiani of breaking the confidentiality agreement because she was subpoenaed to testify.

Cole’s sister disappointed with Grammy tribute

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The sister of Natalie Cole said she was disappointed by the Recording Academy’s tribute to the late singer during Monday’s 58th annual Grammy Awards. The telecast featured a clip from the 1992 Grammys performance of Natalie Cole singing in sync with her father, Nat King Cole, who appeared in video,

at the conclusion of the “In Memoriam” tribute to musicians and artists who died in the previous year.

Timolin Cole told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the producer of the award show, Ken Ehrlich, told the family of their plans to memorialize the singer who died on New Year’s Eve at the age of 65.

“We envisioned some kind of a tribute that isolated her that had some sort of significant time allotted for it,” Timolin Cole said Wednesday. “It was just not reflective of her stature.”

More domestic violence charges against McLean

ROCKLAND, Maine – More criminal charges have been filed in Maine against “American Pie” singer Don McLean stemming from his domestic violence arrest.

Police arrested McLean on a misdemeanor count of domestic violence assault Jan. 18.

Knox County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Fernald said Wednesday that his office is adding misdemeanor charges of terrorizing, criminal threatening, criminal restraint, criminal mischief and obstructing the reporting of a crime.

McLean’s attorney said the singer is pleading not guilty to all the charges.

The case is set to return to court Monday.

The attorney said McLean won’t appear because he has already entered a plea.

McLean’s wife filed a handwritten request for protection after the arrest. The couple later announced the order was dismissed.

Not everybody will be drawn to his huge bows at the neck and overly rounded shapes. But here, he used volume daintily in spots. Some dresses had large block leaf motifs in fabrics that offer the same soft but structured curves as the scuba material so popular on runways in years past.

If you had to pick one adjective to sum up Michael Kors’ latest collection, a good bet might be “feathery.” The designer was going for “the flirty freedom of things that move,” to quote his production notes, and there were flirty feathers on at least 10 of the looks he sent down the runway – starting with feathers adorning a pair of jeans, and moving to feathers on a houndstooth tweed coat, on a denim or tweed skirt, and on black silk for evening effect.

There also were plenty of sequins, adding a very bright sheen to some of the fashions, especially a silver sequin embroidered “streamer” dress, with the hem cut into strips that indeed looked like streamers, and also a pair of seriously glistening silver metallic stretch tulle pants. Kors always has a healthy celebrity contingent at his fashion shows, and Wednesday’s event was no exception: Blake Lively and Jennifer Hudson were among the front-row guests.

for you. The response from readers about Renee’s letter was varied, and it was informative to read their perspectives: Dear Abby: Thanks for your answer to Renee. It validated my whole life as a daughter of a domineering mother.

She is 92. I’m 62 and live 40 miles from her. I have a full-time job, take care of a small farm and still, after my weekly visit, have to call her to let her know I got home OK. She also asks for my friends’ phone numbers. I give her inaccurate ones so she can’t pester them. My office knows to not put her calls through. I have asked her to call my cell, leave a message and I’ll call her back when I am on break.

When I was younger, if she couldn’t reach me by phone, she would call the police, send my poor father to my house to look for me or call my veterinarian to have him make a farm call – just to be sure I hadn’t been

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ax-murdered.

The negative effect this has had on our relationship is profound. I have tried repeatedly to explain it to her, but she never has “gotten it,” so I have created barriers in order to maintain boundaries. She has a number she can call for her in-home care providers so if her need is real, she can get help – and there’s always 911. I refuse to exist just for her to engulf. – Purposely

Childless In Missouri Dear Abby: Sometimes

parents do need a contact person for emergencies. At what point should a person have to contact the police?

Years ago, parents here in Northern California didn’t hear from their adult son for a week or two. They thought he was with his livein girlfriend. She thought he had gone to see them. Sadly, his body was found stuffed in an irrigation pipe weeks later. He had been robbed and murdered.

Hopefully, Renee’s three daughters are close enough to have regular contact with each other and can call their parents on a regular timetable to check in and assure them all is well. – California

Mom Dear Abby: Telling Renee

she was the reason her daughters moved so far away and don’t answer her calls was unnecessarily hurtful. You have no idea why her daughters are so distant.

A better option would have been to suggest she approach her kids because she is concerned as their mother and they live so far from her. Rather than a list of their friends, she should ask each of them if there’s someone close to them she might use as an emergency contact. – Angie In Michigan • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O.

Dear Abby: At least “Renee In Oregon” (Sept. 10), who asked her adult daughters for their friends’ phone numbers, cares enough to want someone to call if her adult children don’t respond. I didn’t regard her request as nosy or overbearing, simply so she’d have a “just in case” number.

Renee’s daughters sound like ungrateful brats who don’t care anything about worrying their parents.

I’m thankful my four adult children will text me in response to my calls to let me know they are OK. I have never had a problem getting a contact number from them for a neighbor or friend. Two of them offered the information without my asking.

I have had to call a contact only once. Thank goodness it was only a matter of a stolen phone, not a sick or injured child. I’m blessed my kids understand it’s not to get in their business, but a logical safety issue. –

Drug cost increases not unusual Dear Dr. K: A generic drug I’ve been taking for years suddenly became much more expensive. I can’t afford the new price. What can I do?

Dear Reader: Prices of generic versions of some commonly prescribed drugs have been skyrocketing. Like you, many of my patients have been affected.

I spoke to Dr. Ameet Sarpatwari, an instructor at Harvard Medical School and an epidemiologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He noted, fortunately, the price of most generic drugs remained constant between 2008 and 2015. However, almost 400 generic drugs saw whopping price increases of more than 1,000 percent.

Why are some generic drugs so expensive?

It’s not for the same reason some new drugs are very expensive. With new drugs, the pharmaceutical company has had to spend a great deal of money to develop a drug that didn’t exist before. So there is a rationale for the high price.

But a generic drug was developed long ago, typically by another company and at that company’s expense. So what other reasons might explain the remarkable rise in the price of some generic drugs?

One good reason is it can be difficult and expensive for a manufacturer to get a generic drug to market. In 2014, it took the Food and Drug Administration an average of 42 months to process a generic drug application. Compare that to an average of eight months for a standard new drug application.

Then, there are several bad reasons: • The market for some generic drugs is so small just one company makes a drug.

Without competition, that company has less restraint on the price it charges. A drug for the parasitic infection called toxoplasmosis

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff used to be made by GlaxoSmithKline, which priced it modestly. Last August, however, Turing Pharmaceuticals acquired rights to the drug. It then exploited its monopoly, raising the price 5,000 percent (from $13.50 to $750 a pill). Is “rapacious” too strong a word?

• There is an ongoing wave of market consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry. When two companies make a generic drug and one company acquires the other, you now have only one company selling the drug.

• Another reason competition can temporarily decrease is when two companies make a generic drug and one of them has manufacturing problems that force it to temporarily stop production. When one company stopped production of generic doxycycline in 2011, the price of the drug suddenly rose 6,000 percent.

Would “greedy” be an appropriate adjective?

What to do? First, when your doctor recommends a drug for you, ask about its cost. In certain situations, an alternative (lower price) drug that has a similar mechanism of action might be safe and effective. Websites such as www.goodrx.com offer online tools to compare the price of medications in your area. Drug coupon or discount programs also might help.

Finally, contact your local elected representatives. Letting them know how drug prices are affecting you can help keep this issue a political priority.

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

WOODSTOCK – Marian Central had weathered the worst of the storm, but still needed a spark as the Hurricanes trailed heading into the fourth quarter Wednesday against Woodstock North.

Hannah Gillespie provided the jump start the Hurricanes needed. The senior hit two 3-pointers in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter to give Marian Central the lead back and turn the tide.

“It definitely got me going,” Marian Central’s Grace Shukis said. “We were down, and then Hannah comes and got those great two shots and I was just like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s go.’ I got pumped.”

The Hurricanes never trailed again in the final 6:14, going on to beat Woodstock North, 53-47, in a Class 3A Woodstock North Regional semifinal Wednesday night at Woodstock North High School.

The Hurricanes (11-17) advance to face top-seeded Antioch at 7 p.m. Friday in the title game at Woodstock North.

Shukis led the Hurricanes with 16 point, and Vannessa Garrelts added 11.

Gillespie had nine on three 3-pointers.

Woodstock North’s Haley Ahr scored a game-high 26 points. Maddie Busch (11 points) and Paige Schnulle (six) each hit a pair of 3s.

Marian Central led 28-24 after a back-and-forth first half.

Woodstock North, however, scored the first nine points of the third quarter to grab a 33-28 lead. The Hurricanes kept it close, however, trailing by only two heading into the fourth.

“We go through these stretches where we struggle to score, and I think that quarter I don’t know how many points we ended up with, but it wasn’t very many,” Marian Central coach Tony Powe said. “But this group, they never quit, they never give up, they fight and fight and fight, and you saw it tonight.”

After Gillespie’s 3s gave the Hurricanes the lead, the visitors locked down on defense and pushed the ball after Woodstock North’s misses.

“It was just team defense after that,” Gillespie said.

Powe said the Hurricanes wanted to attack the middle of the Thunder’s boxand-one defense. “It was open and we got a lot of good looks, and for the most part, they didn’t go in, but they went in when it mattered,” Powe said.

The Hurricanes outscored the Thunder, 18-10, in the final eight minutes.

“They hit shots in the fourth quarter,” Woodstock North coach Mike Lewis said. “And it seemed like when they missed, they had someone there to tip it or grab an offensive rebound

and putback. ... We needed to get stops and we didn’t get them.”

Lewis also lamented the Thunder’s foul shooting in the fourth quarter.

The hosts were in the bonus with 6:04 left but twice missed the front end of one-and-ones. Despite making 8 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter, the Thunder (9-20) couldn’t get the stops they needed to get any closer than within four in the final minutes.

“We still got some looks in the fourth quarter and we missed a lot of free throws,” Lewis said. “We’re a good free-throw shooting team, so for us to be in the bonus that long and miss that many free throws, I think it could have changed the game a little bit.”

Large local group includes 25 1st-timers

In all, 43 area wrestlers making trip to Champaign

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com For young wrestlers, the trip to Champaign for the IHSA state finals is something like a pilgrimage.

Jacobs senior Jack Golnick remembers going with his dad to watch the “big show” in Champaign three or four times through his middle school and early high school days.

“Watching all these great wrestlers, it was always a goal to get down there, and I finally did it,” Golnick said. “So it was a huge accomplishment in my book.”

After qualifying at the Class 3A Barrington Sectional, Huntley senior heavyweight Dominic Swanson said, “It feels pretty awesome, it’s been a goal since last year at state when I went to go watch.”

More online Forty-three local wrestlers qualified for the state tournament, which runs from Thursday through Saturday in Champaign.

For preview capsules on each wrestler, log on to NWHerald.com.

Golnick and Swanson are two of 43 local wrestlers who won’t just be watching but participating Thursday when the state championships begin at the State Farm Center on the University of Illinois campus. The first round will take place Thursday before quarterfinals and semifinals Friday, with the championship matches Saturday night.

The 43 qualifiers come from 16 local schools, with one in Class 1A, 32 in 2A and 10 in 3A. Of those 43, 25 are first-timers, who will have to adjust to the atmosphere of the state stage that the others already have experienced.

“There is a lot of energy,” said Dundee-Crown’s Christian Brunner, now a three-time qualifier. “It is different. It’s a different atmosphere; you

perform better down there I think. It’s exciting just to be down there.”

Brunner is 44-0 on the season and one of five locals who return to state after placing last year. Brunner finished third last year and second the year before. The Dundee-Crown 195-pounder said he is trying to approach it like any other tournament, but admitted that this week was special.

“The anticipation, it kind of kills you, it fries your nerves,” Brunner said. “It’s just exciting going in, and I just try not to get myself overwhelmed.

Just relaxing right now and getting my game plan together and not thinking too much of it.”

Harvard and Prairie Ridge lead the way with five qualifiers apiece, and each are led by a returning state place-winner. Harvard’s Josh Fiegel was fifth at 106 last year in 1A, and although the Hornets have moved up to 2A this season, he and his coach have talked all season about wrestling tough competition specifically to be ready for state. For Prairie Ridge, senior Travis Piotrowski is undefeated, making his fourth consecutive trip and looking to

cap his high school career with a title that has eluded him thus far as he has placed third twice.

Huntley, Crystal Lake Central and Marengo each are sending four individuals. Crystal Lake Central’s Austin Parks (220) and Marengo’s Dylan Turner (220) both are returning placers, but they were at different schools and weights last year. Huntley has returning qualifiers in Zach Spencer (113) and Josh Stenger (120).

Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny (138) and Michael (145) Petersen are making their third trips to state. Also making their third trips are Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton (138), Marian Central’s Thomas Welch (170), Harvard’s Zach Martin (195) and Cary-Grove’s John Cullen (138).

“It’s awesome,” Cullen said after qualifying last weekend. “It’s a great feeling, and the last couple years I wasn’t able to get what I wanted, so this year I’m really looking forward to trying to get what I want.”

Asked what he wanted, Cullen said, “I want to get as high on that podium as I possibly can.”

Nike drops Pacquiao in wake of anti-gay statements

Manny Pacquiao’s latest disparaging comments about gays have cost him a contract with Nike.

It might not be the only endorsement Pacquiao loses, even as he and promoter Bob Arum scramble to contain the damage done by a TV interview in the Philippines in which the boxer said gay

people “are worse than animals.”

Nike issued a statement Wednesday saying it was severing its ties with the boxer over his comments about gays.

The company said it no longer will have any business dealings with the boxer.

Prep basketball player pierced by piece of wood floor

MIDDLETON, Wis. – A high school basketball player in southern Wisconsin is expected to return to the court soon after she was impaled by a piece of a gym’s wood floor.

The 14-year-old Wisconsin Heights High School player was running down the court during a basketball tournament Sunday when she fell and slid along the floor at a field house in Middleton.

Tournament organizer Perry Hibner says the girl told the referee that she couldn’t get up because there was a piece of wood stuck to her. Hibner said splinters from the broken piece of wood had pierced the girl’s stomach region.

Inside Boys Basketball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK COLLIN MERGL Woodstock North, so., F Mergl scored 49 points in three games as the Thunder went 1-2 in that stretch, including a near victory over crosstown rival Woodstock.

The 6-foot-4 sophomore scored 19 points Friday as North fell to Woodstock, 51-50, in the final seconds.

He came back with 22 points Saturday to lead the Thunder to a 60-48 victory over Hinckley-Big Rock in the Indian Creek Shootout.

Mergl scored eight points Tuesday in the Thunder’s loss to Rockford Christian Life.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Prairie Ridge (21-3): The Wolves staged a stirring comeback Friday from a seven-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Grayslake North, 59-52, and win their second Fox Valley Conference Fox Division championship in a row. They have not lost since the calendar turned to 2016.

2. Jacobs (20-5): Go figure, the Golden Eagles struggled hitting outside shots in a 53-46 overtime loss to five-win St. Charles North, then hit 56 percent from the field and beat 16-9 Elgin, 78-44, four days later.

In between, they defeated District 300 rival Dundee-Crown, 49-42.

3. Marian Central (15-7): The Hurricanes defeated 15-6 Kaneland, 68-48, Saturday and did so without 6-8 center Sam Ohlrich, who is nursing a sprained ankle. Kaneland had just beaten 21-4 DeKalb.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week Marengo (20-6): The Indians have won 12 of their past 13, and 10 in a row, giving them 20 wins for the third consecutive season.

Marengo has not had three 20-win seasons in a row since 1996 through 1998.

5. Woodstock (18-5): The Blue Streaks held off Woodstock North, 51-50, Friday when Dan Shook hit a pair of free throws with 20 seconds remaining. Woodstock has won seven of its past eight games, with that last loss coming against Grayslake North.

NOTEWORTHY Wolves unstoppable: Prairie Ridge had not been pushed like it was Friday at Grayslake North for a while, but the Wolves responded under pressure. Trailing by seven to start the fourth quarter, they wiped out the Knights’ lead with three 3-pointers in 1:10 and held on for a 59-52 victory.

The win clinched the division title for Prairie Ridge (21-3 overall, 11-0 FVC Fox), which also won it outright last season. After the game, the players hardly could wait to get back to their own gym to cut down the nets.

“We have been in that spot, but not since Christmas,” Wolves coach Corky Card said.

“Last year we played a lot of young kids and they hustled and learned. We play a difficult

schedule. We played Geneva, Boylan, South Elgin, Bartlett and Hononegah. We just got hot at the right time.”

Both Card and North coach Todd Grunloh enjoyed the atmosphere in their final conference game against each other. North leaves the FVC to join the Northern Lake County Conference next season.

“That’s one team we’re trying to get for nonconference in the future,” Grunloh said.

“They challenge us in other ways no one challenges us.”

3A-4A seeds coming: The IHSA is scheduled to release the Class 3A and 4A regional seedings about 4 p.m. Thursday.

Tournaments will take a little different look this season as sectionals or sub-sectionals are seeded, then the regional pairings are determined. In recent years, the regionals were pre-determined, but the IHSA altered that in hopes of producing better and fairer tournaments.

Locally, there will be a lot of interest in Sub-Sectional B in the Woodstock North Sectional, where Marian Central, Marengo and Woodstock all will fall. In Class 4A, Jacobs is in with mostly Upstate Eight Conference teams in Sub-Sectional A of the Rock Valley College Sectional. Prairie Ridge and South are hoping for high seeds in Sub-Sectional B. Close calls: Jacobs has experienced several close games, but has survived with a 9-0 mark to successfully defend its FVC Valley championship. The Golden Eagles have clinched with one remaining game.

Jacobs was 22-6 last season and graduated five of its top six players, but behind 6-9 junior center Cameron Krutwig, they have reached close to the same record.

“Everybody always says, ‘Why aren’t you winning by more points?’ ” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said recently. “We’re a young group of guys. Finding a way to get it done is just as important as winning games by 20.

Those are the games that we need to be in, come regional time, those teams in our sectional are going through a grind every night in the Upstate Eight.”

Jacobs saw two of those teams last week, losing to St. Charles North, then beating Elgin.

Knobloch Watch: Marengo senior Zach Knobloch is guaranteed four more games as he sits with 356 career 3-pointers. He needs 16 more to pass Kevin Rhodes, who graduated from Canton in 1991, for third place on the IHSA’s career list. Knobloch is alone in sixth place.

THIS WEEK’S TOP GAMES Rockford Christian vs. Marengo, 7 p.m.

Friday, Homer “Bill” Barry Gymnasium The Indians need a victory over the Royal Lions, who are near the middle of the Big Northern Conference East Division standings, along with a Genoa-Kingston win over Burlington Central. If those two things happen, Marengo will be one game behind Burlington, which it hosts Tuesday.

Crystal Lake South vs. McHenry, 7 p.m. Friday These two have developed a spirited rivalry in the past three seasons, with McHenry winning both games in 2014 and 2015. South won the first game this season, but Gators’ nemesis Nick Bellich is back for the Warriors, who have won four in a row.

Marian’s 6-foot-6, 200-pound sophomore forward Thomas Menner faced the tough task of battling with 6-8, 290-pound Carmel forward Sean Foster, who is committed to Illinois State to play offensive line. His job got even tougher with Marian 6-8 forward Sam Ohlrich out of the lineup. Still, Menner stepped up with a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. right away. I’ve been really successful hitting those free throws before, so I had a ton of confidence.”

Duff, who led all scorers with 24 points, was called for a lane violation on his free throw attempt with 5.9 second left. Pischke hit two more free throws. The Hurricanes exhaled and relaxed, allowing Duff to hit one more meaningless basket at the buzzer to settle the final score.

Pischke finished with a team-high 20 points. He scored 12 of those in the fourth quarter, including 10 in the final 2:01. Thomas Kaufmann, who hit three 3-pointers, scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half. And sophomore forward Thomas Menner provided a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

“It just shows we can fight through adversity,” Pischke said. “We played terribly the whole game. We couldn’t get any shots to fall. I missed probably 10 layups I usually make. We just stayed confident and never gave up.”

“We stole one tonight. One thing about this group is they’ve been doing this all season. We’ve been behind sometimes and they continue to fight. They’ve learned throughout the entire year to keep fighting. And if you keep fighting, good things will happen to you.”

jseverson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The Northern Illinois football team will make history when it plays rival Toledo on Nov. 9 at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Huskies will play the Rockets in what will be the first game ever played at the ballpark, which is the home of the White Sox. The game is being billed the “Huskie Chi-Town Showdown,” the schools announced Wednesday.

NIU athletic director Sean Frazier said he hopes to sell out the estimated 30,000 available seats for the game, citing the university has 145,000 alumni in the Chicago area. However, he said he understood that he had to choose between the DeKalb-area fan base and Chicago-area fan base when it comes to this weeknight home game.

“It’s what they say, ‘Leadership is lonely,’ ” Frazier said of the decision.

“There’s no such thing as standing still. Either we’re going to get the fan base – and we have to move forward with creative ways of dealing with some of the challenges. Some of the challenges with the midweek games, we have great TV exposure, but we have to get people comfortable to

come out and support the Huskies.

“Nobody wants to give away home field – I’m a former coach, I want to put it in front of my fans,” Frazier continued, referring to moving the game away from Huskie Stadium. “But I’ve got 145,000 reasons that somebody is going to jump on the train to check out this game.”

Frazier, who said playing a game somewhere in Chicago became a priority when he took over in 2013, said staging the event required balancing several different entities – including the Mid-American Conference, the White Sox and the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, owner and operator of the field.

Lou Bertuca, the CEO of the ISFA, said during the news conference that he expects the revenue for the entity to be in the “hundreds of thousands.”

Although Frazier said the details of the revenue breakdown were unavailable, he expects it to be a financial success for the Huskies.

“Some of those financials are going to come out, but we’re going to be (on a) significant economic plus side on this one,” Frazier said. “If we get 30,000 people here, it’s going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.”

ILLINOIS

Whitman will be new AD

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – The University of Illinois made it official Wednesday, confirming reports that former Illini football player Josh Whitman is the school’s new athletic director.

The 37-year-old Whitman moves from the same job at Division III Washington University in St. Louis.

He inherits a long list of problems at Illinois, from allegations that a now-former football coach interfered with player medical decisions to a lawsuit over the treatment of women’s basketball players.

But Whitman, who has a bachelor’s degree and law degree from Illinois, called the move a “dream come true.”

“With strong leadership, a bold vision, daring integrity and an unparalleled commitment from a unified and active Illini Nation, together we can build an athletics program befitting our great institution,” he said in a

news release. A news conference is planned for Thursday on campus to introduce Whitman.

Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson, who will be Whitman’s boss until a permanent chancellor is hired, praised his leadership and accomplishments.

“He understands the business of modern college athletics, but he hasn’t lost any of the sense of fun and joy that should be part of amateur sports,” Wilson said.

And Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany called Whitman “well-respected, very bright” and someone who, “as an alum, knows what it means to be a member of the Fighting Illini.”

Whitman was a starting tight end on Illinois football teams from 1997 to 2000 and worked for several years in the department he now will run.

Before moving to Washington University, he served as AD at another D-III school, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

MUNDELEIN – Marian Central boys basketball coach Curtis Price emerged from the locker room at Carmel Catholic with a smile that said it all.

In an East Suburban Catholic Conference matchup with the host Corsairs, the Hurricanes trailed by as many as 12 points. They shot only 33 percent from the field. They led for a total of 33.8 seconds.

And won.

“We stole one tonight,” Price laughed after the Hurricanes’ 54-51 victory.

“One thing about this group is they’ve been doing this all season,” he continued. “We’ve been behind sometimes and they continue to fight.

They’ve learned throughout the entire year to keep fighting. And if you keep fighting, good things will happen to you.”

The Hurricanes (16-7, 3-4 ESCC) trailed Carmel, 46-37, with 5:25 remaining but closed the game on a 17-5 run.

With just more than a minute remaining, senior guard Adam Pischke fought through contact to hit a left-handed layup that pulled Marian within 49-48 of Carmel (12-14, 0-7 ESCC).

Pischke then gave the Hurricanes their first lead of the game, 50-49, by sinking a pair of free throws with 33.8 remaining. On the ensuing possession, Carmel guard C.J. Duff missed a jump shot. Marian senior forward Josh Horney grabbed the rebound and sunk both of his free throws to stretch the lead to 52-49.

“Right when I grabbed that rebound, I felt like we had the game,” Horney said. “I knew I was going to get the 1-and-1 because they fouled me

6 BLACKHAWKS 5, RANGERS 3

Panarin’s hat trick lifts Hawks

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com NEW YORK – Before Artemi Panarin was the Russian Patrick Kane, Teuvo Teravainen was the Finnish Patrick Kane.

And although Panarin has lit up the NHL this season – including a hat trick that propelled the Blackhawks to a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night – Teravainen’s development has been more gradual, and perhaps less satisfying.

Teravainen has only 10 goals this season, perhaps less than expected. And it might have something to do with why the 21-year-old’s name is popping up every now and then in trade speculation as the Hawks seek a top-line left wing to play alongside Jonathan Toews.

Well, Wednesday’s win was another illustration of how foolish such a move would be.

Teravainen was overshadowed again by the dazzling Panarin, who scored two power-play goals – the Hawks are a staggering 7 of 11 with the man-advantage in their past two games – and an empty-netter. But without Teravainen setting up two Hawks goals with brilliant passes, Panarin wouldn’t have gotten the chance to be the hero.

Toews credited Teravainen’s goal late in the Hawks’ 7-2 shellacking of Toronto on Monday with giving him a desperately needed shot of confidence.

“We know what type of player he

Blackhawks left wing Artemi Panarin (right) is hugged by Patrick Kane after scoring a goal against the Rangers in the third period Wednesday night in New York. Panarin had a hat trick in the Hawks’ 5-3 victory. can really be offensively,” Toews said.

Teravainen has 15 assists to go with his 10 goals – respectable, if not overwhelming. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Because a logjam of star players ahead of him at both center and right wing, Teravainen has been slotted on the third line alongside grinders Andrew Desjardins and Phil Danault. And to his credit – and to coach Joel Quenneville’s delight – he has been rock-solid defensively in that role, while serving as a utility man,

able to fill in almost any role, both 5-on5 and on special teams.

“We’re pretty responsible (as a line) out there, but for myself, I want to score and make things happen, too,” Teravainen said. “That’s why I’ve been a little down on myself lately, because we hadn’t scored that much. But this was a good game.”

And it was a reminder that the offensive talent is there, and that the goals can’t be too far behind. Yes, the championship window is open right

now, and it’s always tempting to trade potential for immediate help (Andrew Ladd, anyone?). But the way the Hawks are built, the championship window is open for another five years, too, and Teravainen is sure to play a big role in the years ahead.

“He was good in all aspects of our game,” Quenneville said. “He can make another line go for us, and I think that’s what we’re looking for.”

As for Panarin, it was just more of the same consistent brilliance he’s shown all season. After Teravainen set up Andrew Desjardins’ first-period goal, Panarin ripped a shot past Henrik Lundqvist from the top of the left circle on the power play for his 20th goal.

The Hawks squandered the lead, with the Rangers scoring twice on a Vinnie Hinostroza high-sticking double-minor to take a 3-2 lead early in the third. But Teravainen’s deft feed teed up Andrew Shaw’s equalizer midway through the period, and Panarin crashed the net for a power-play goal with three minutes left in the game to win it, before adding an empty-netter to seal it.

“Bread Man has been great for us this year,” Toews said of Panarin. “Not a lot of games we go through without some pretty big contributions from that line.”

The same can’t be said of Teravainen, at least, not offensively, and not yet. But it’s coming. And at just 21, the Hawks would be wise to label the Finn untouchable at the trade deadline.

SPRING TRAINING: WHITE SOX

Sox believe they’re ready to contend this time

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – This time last year, the White Sox welcomed the start of spring training with visions of a playoff run after a busy offseason they thought would vault them toward the top of the AL Central.

Instead, they fizzled. Now, they vow to make it happen.

With pitchers and catchers set to begin working out Thursday, they believe they are in a better position than they were a year ago.

Back then, optimism among fans was soaring after the Sox traded for pitcher Jeff Samardzija and signed several big-ticket free agents. But the only team in Chicago to make a playoff run was the one on the North Side. While the Cubs emerged as one of the best

in baseball, the Sox posted their third straight losing record and finished fourth in their division at 76-86.

What’s changed since then?

The Sox addressed a major issue at third base by trading for All-Star and Home Run Derby winner Todd Frazier. They brought in an athletic infielder with some pop in Brett Lawrie.

They upgraded behind Chris Sale the plate with catchers Dioner Navarro and Alex Avila, and added pitching depth with Mat Latos.

If they and the big additions from a year ago deliver as expected, the Sox believe they can contend with ace Chris Sale and slugger Jose Abreu leading the way.

“There’s no doubt in my mind we’re

a better team than we were even a year ago as we sat in this room and throughout baseball there was a consensus that we had a good offseason in terms of addressing our needs and putting ourselves in position to contend in 2015,” general manager Rick Hahn said.

The problem last season was slugger Adam LaRoche struggled in a big way. So did Samardzija, who signed with San Francisco in December, as did outfielder Melky Cabrera early on when the season basically slipped away from the Sox. The only big addition who performed about as expected was closer David Robertson, and even he blew seven saves.

With four-time All-Star Sale at the top of the rotation, the Sox believe they have the pitching to compete.

One thing: Their rotation is heavy on

left-handers, with Sale, Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon and John Danks. The only righty is Latos.

Here are some other things to look for as camp opens in Glendale, Arizona: Under the spotlight: The scrutiny on manager Robin Ventura figures to intensify if the Sox continue to struggle.

He has an expiring contract and it has been nothing but losing records since leading the Sox to 85 wins in his first year in 2012.

Changing vibe: A clubhouse that was more reserved last season might have a little kick to it.

Frazier and Avila are expected to add some leadership that was missing, whether it was because of the language barrier for Abreu, LaRoche’s poor season or Cabrera’s difficulties early on.

Lawrie and Latos bring an edge, too.

List of area’s top anglers has room for more Northern Illinois is home to some of the best anglers to be found anywhere.

Just think about it for a second. I’ll bet you can come up with a pretty strong list of names, can’t you?

I know a number of the top fishermen and have even had the privilege of sharing a boat ride with a number of them. Who makes it onto your list?

I’ll start off with McHenry’s Spence Petros, a member of the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. What more do I need to say?

Northern Illinois is well represented on the various pro walleye tournament trails. Mike Gofron of Antioch is one of the sport’s all-time leading money winners. Spring Grove’s Scott Duncan has won his share of tournaments, too.

Lombard’s Mike McNett and Chicago’s Tony Boshold have reputations all over the world for their prowess as ice fishermen. Gurnee’s Greg “The Prowler” Wilczynski is a true ice fishing legend.

Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait and Tackle in Crystal Lake has been doing a lot of damage in bass tournaments, including the huge 2015 event in Florida at the ICAST convention, against some of the biggest names in the business.

Dave’s competitor, Greg Dickson from Antioch’s triangle Sports and Marine, is well known for his prowess as a bass angler.

Lowrance electronics expert Mark O’Neill is fast gaining a reputation as the leading sonar maven in the Midwest and also is lauded for his ability to land big bass.

In the world of muskie fishing, what name is bigger than that of the “Musky Hunter” himself, north suburban Jim Saric?

Woodstock’s Captain Bob Rossa and Antioch’s Captain Dan Keating are about as good as it gets when it comes to chasing Lake Michigan’s gigantic salmon and trout.

Captain Chris Taurisano from Cary has been garnering a lot of attention for his almost constant success in catching

Note to readers Because of space constraints, this week’s outdoors column by Steve Sarley does not appear in its entirety. Log on to NWHerld.com to read more. panfish, walleyes and muskies on a difficult body of water, the Fox Chain O’ Lakes.

Those are a few of the names that pop into my head when I begin to think about the best fishermen in northern Illinois. I do not claim to be providing a comprehensive list. As a matter of fact, I am sure I missed quite a few great anglers.

I am asking for your help in filling up the list. Please give me your suggestions for a compilation of the best fishermen to be found in northern Illinois. This is your chance to nominate someone you’d like to be mentioned in this column.

You might be thinking of someone who competes in tournaments. You might be thinking of a guide or charter captain who you feel is exceptional.

Maybe the fisherman who you think is someone special is your dad, or your brother or a friend. Let me know who it is and why you think they are so darned good.

I truly believe there are an awful lot of really great fishermen out there who deserve some accolades. I’d like to find out who they are. Please let me know your thoughts, if you will.

Also, every spring, I offer a list of guides and charter captains who I think do an exceptional job for their clients. My list includes guys who usually put their customers on fish and also are able to provide an educational and entertaining experience in return

for their hard-earned dollars. If you have any guides or captains who you’d like to nominate for consideration for inclusion on my annual list, please send me their names. I’ll be doing my annual list in about a month.

• • • I haven’t printed a letter for quite a while and I think it’s time. This one came from Round Lake’s John Hrynkow, and I think it offers a good tip for shooters of all interests.

“I read in one of your articles about your concern for gun rights in this state and country. I couldn’t agree with you more. I am a veteran hunter, and I own several guns. By no means am I a ‘Rambo’ type of person. Recently, I went and took the required classes for my concealed carry permit. The classes required that we shoot at least 100 rounds the first day of the class followed by the second day, where we shot over 200 rounds. We had to show proficiency in drawing our pistols, and at the end, qualify by hitting a mansized target at three different distances.

I was shocked at how many people in my class were unable to even hit the target at the shortest of distance of five yards. Many of these people were ex-military. They all shot big 1911 framed .45s. Now, a .45 is a great gun,

but they couldn’t hit anything with any type of accuracy. It was almost comical how bad they were at shooting. Our instructor, who was also a policeman, questioned their selection of sidearm and recommended something smaller.

He also recommended to everyone to go to the range and practice regularly.

Several people did not pass because of their inaccuracy.

“I enjoy your articles, so maybe the next time you write about gun rights and concealed carry, you could mention to people that they have a huge responsibility when they carry their weapons. You have to practice regularly and also listen to the experts. By the end of my class, the instructor had me shooting groups no bigger than a silver dollar at all distances. I continue to practice regularly and it helps.

Thanks.”

No, John, thank you. Everyone who shoots should be using the proper firearm, and then they should practice with it as often as possible. With the right to carry comes huge responsibilities that must be accepted. Thanks for the heads-up.

REVIEWS Regina M. Belt Daniels

Steppenwolf Theatre Company continues its 40th anniversary season with another Chicago premiere – Annie Baker’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, “The Flick.” It is not for the typical, traditional theater audience. “The Flick” runs 3 hours, 10 minutes, at times excruciatingly long for those trapped in the Upstairs Theatre’s seats. (The first act alone is 1 hour, 40 minutes.)

There are a multitude of scenes, all ending with a black-out, perhaps to simulate the running of a 35 mm film, which is the central theme of the play, although there are overlapping themes of friendship and finding your way.

“The Flick” is an aging, run-down, single-screen Massachusetts movie house. The owner is debating the switch over to digital projection.

It is populated by three underpaid employees who tediously sweep up popcorn, candy wrappers, drink cups and all remaining debris left by patrons (a smelly, nasty New Balance shoe for one).

Jack Magaw’s scenic design is a convincing presentation of rows and rows of faded velvety theater seats and a central overhead projection booth. (The rows and rows of seats face the audience.)

There are flickering and fluttering light projections and sounds, as well as the occasional epic movie orchestrations to remind you of what is about to be lost.

And you’ll learn a little history of 35 mm film versus DCP, or digital cinema package, ranging from Spielberg’s refusal to shoot on anything but celluloid to how pixels cannot express color and texture in the way only celluloid can. It doesn’t interfere with the play’s progression as we learn about the characters and the certain demise of “The Flick.”

The casting is spot-on perfect.

Caroline Neff is Rose, the pot-smoking, wild dancing, green-haired, piercedeyebrow projectionist. She portrays a self-searching, sly, expressive misfit with aplomb and great skill. Travis Turner is Avery, the almost brittle but passionate 20-year-old film lover who performs Six Degrees of Separation movie connections with phenomenal acuteness (can you do Michael J. Fox and Britney Spears?). Avery believes no great American film has been made since “Pulp Fiction,” and there are several humorous exchanges between the characters about popular and obscure films. Avery has parental issues and is extremely self-conscious; Turner is the master of the lonely who risks the most. He delivers a heart-wrenching, very compelling scene in the first act – sitting all alone and talking on his cell

Caroline Neff, as Rose, (from left), Travis Turner, as Avery, and Danny McCarthy, as Sam, appear in Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s production of “The Flick.”

“THE FLICK”

WHEN: Through May 8 WHERE: Steppenwolf Theatre’s Upstairs Theatre, 1650 N. Halstead St., Chicago COST & INFO: Contains strong language and adult themes. Tickets range from $20 to $89.

But it is truly actor Danny McCarthy, as Sam, who is a source of joy, pain and complexity. Perhaps it is because his character is the most genuinely written and the most thought-provoking, whereas Rose and Avery are borderline stereotypic, despite Neff’s and Turner’s engrossing acting. Sam is the “Everyman” who wanted more and settled, and McCarthy is believably cathartic in his acting. Just try to get past his confession of unrequited love for Rose while refusing to look at her; it is especially poignant and identifiable. McCarthy and Neff have long regional, Broadway, film and TV credits, while Turner, a Northwestern graduate, admirably makes his Steppenwolf debut. All three deliver competently and consistently throughout the lengthy drama.

Director of “The Flick,” Dexter Bullard, a 2004 Lucille Lortel Award winner

for Outstanding Director Off Broadway, is now the head of Graduate Acting at DePaul University. He does inject some humor and a dissonant rhythm with his actors, but I’m willing to conjecture those who left at intermission and those who complained about the length of “The Flick” while waiting to exit wished Bullard either had edited the play or picked up the pace.

“The Flick” asks a lot of its audience: to actively listen to a show resplendent with realistic dialogue and rich characters, but incredibly long with inert pauses between prolonged looks, sloweddown reactions and minimal movement.

(I commend the discipline of the actors in being able to pull it off.) You are immersed in the inactive world of Sam, Rose and Avery as you experience the consequences of their interactions, but must the effects and alterations of their lives’ trajectories take so long?

I recommend “The Flick” for serious theater patrons and film buffs, but just remember I warned you – be mindful the very first two people in the elevator were myself and a noted Chicago theater reviewer. She beat me outside.

Matt Vine of Carol Stream jumps over Colton Spaeth of Janesville, Wis., during a training session Feb. 10 at Premier Pro Wrestling in Woodstock.

READY to RUMBLE

Professional wrestling comes to Woodstock Story by CHRIS MORDI – editorial@nwherald.com Photos by SARAH NADER – snader@shawmedia.com

“Irish” Andy Anderson came storming through the black curtain in a rage, chomping on a chain hung around his neck, a wild red beard flowing down to his chest.

He spit the chain out of his mouth, swung it through the air, slammed it on the floor and yelled wildly at bystanders.

Just a typical Saturday night at Premier Pro Wrestling in Woodstock.

That’s right. Legitimate professional wrestling every Saturday night brought to McHenry County by Randy Ricci, a former professional wrestler and owner of the business at 1230 Davis Road.

Ricci’s studio is not easy to find. For the past two years, his space has been at one end of a strip mall that includes a restaurant, convenience store and guitar shop. There’s no sign out front. Black curtains cover the windows and door. The only thing that lets you know you’re in the right place is the collection of black-and-white posters depicting

some of the wrestlers on the windows.

Once you get your bearings and really look around, you know you’re in the right place.

The massive black ring with blue ropes is a giveaway.

The ring was made in the Colton Spaeth, of Janesville, Wis., rests early ’80s and used in the during a training session Feb. 10 at PreWorld Wide Wrestling Feder- mier Pro Wrestling in Woodstock. ation, the forerunner to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Ricci said as he greased some parts of it to keep it in fighting shape.

See WRESTLING, page 11

• WRESTLING

Continued from page 10 Paying it forward

Ricci is a man with a past. He’s not just a fan who opened a wrestling studio for the fun of it.

He throws around names of profesional wrestling stars he’s worked with, such as Sgt. Slaughter, Chief Jay Strongbow, George “The Animal” Steele, Pat Tanaka of the Orient Express, Jerry Jarrett, Nick Bockwinkel and Vern Gagne.

His grandfather, once a professional boxer, inadvertently inspired Ricci to pick up wrestling. “He wanted me to do cross-country. He kept telling me, ‘Use this, use this,’ ” he said as he pointed to his head. “I wasn’t going to have any of that, especially after I found out that he boxed.”

Having taken up drinking at a young age, Ricci said, “I got kicked out of the house at 14. My plan was football, wrestling, then acting.”

At age 16, he got sober. By the age of 22, he landed his first match with Chicago Championship Wrestling.

Within his first year, he was wrestling against the likes of WWE Hall of Famer Larry Zbyszko. He worked with Vern Gagne’s American Wrestling Association and the World Wrestling Federation.

“I was a shrimp,” he said of his size compared with other wrestlers. “So, to get a job and keep a job I had to do some amazingly hard, crazy [expletive] to get a ‘Woo!’ and have people say, ‘He’s worth something.’

“Pat Tanaka used to come up to me and make a point of saying something positive. You couldn’t ask for it [positive reinforcement] because you would be a marker or an idiot, so you just had to kind of wait and hope.”

Ricci said other well-known wrestlers personally would praise him for his abilities.

“I heard some stuff from some really

cool sources like Sgt. Slaughter, Nick Bockwinkel, Vern Gagne that are like, ‘You’ve got something,’ ” he said.

That’s one of the reasons he started his studio – to give others encouragement and a start in the industry, but with the advice and a training regimen from someone who’s been there, done that and still is connected to it.

Ricci’s connections, experience and teaching have helped six wrestlers gain official World Wrestling Entertainment tryouts, one of them being Kalisto (Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez), a current WWE superstar and former Tag Team Champion for NXT, a branch of WWE. “Randy cares about the guys he’s training,” said Matt Vine, a wrestler who has trained with Ricci since 2013.

“He knows what he’s doing.”

Vine said he’s learning both the physical and psychological aspects of wrestling, how to connect with and entertain the crowd, with the ultimate goal of making it to the WWE. “When I started, I didn’t know what I was getting into,” he said. “I know that I don’t want a normal job.”

Vine and several others train with Ricci several times a week.

As part of the training, Ricci stages five to six matches every Saturday night at the studio, he said.

In the ring

The lights go down. The music comes up. A guy who calls himself “The Aura in the Fedora” jumps into the ring. With a big booming voice, he lets the crowd know what they’re in for.

This night, it’s Scotty “The Human Video Game” Colton against Zero One, a masked, karate-uniformed wrestler from Japan. Next up, it’s Anderson against Zero Three, another masked brawler from Japan.

Vine also wrestles and wins after being slung against the ropes by his opponent, thrown out of the ring and onto the floor, reprimanded by the referee

“The most exciting part is when they’re pinning someone,” Logan said.

‘RACE’ ACTOR RELATES TO JESSE OWENS

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post

Stephan James is not yet a household name. Despite prominent supporting roles in the acclaimed civil-rights drama “Selma,” the BET historical mini-series “The Book of Negroes” and the inspirational, fact-based sports drama “When the Game Stands Tall,” the 22-year-old Toronto native still is probably best known for his recurring role as high-schooler Julian on two seasons of the Canadian cult TV series “Degrassi: The Next Generation.”

With “Race,” a new biopic about Jesse Owens (1913-1980) in which James stars as the celebrated Olympic runner and long-jumper, that may be about to change.

James recently was named one of four rising stars at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival, along with fellow Canadian up-and-comers Deragh Campbell, Aliocha Schneider and Karelle Tremblay.

In Washington last month to promote “Race,” James, who describes himself as shy by nature, seems to be keeping the modest uptick in attention in perspective.

Despite playing a sprinter – a role for which James began training at Georgia Tech during his days off from “Selma” and where he perfected Owens’s idiosyncratic upright gait – the actor acknowledges the career he’d like to have is closer to a marathon than a dash.

James said he draws inspiration from many performers (Leonardo DiCaprio and Idris Elba, to name two) but he doesn’t want to emulate them, or to become pigeonholed as someone who plays only historical figures. “I want to be a chameleon,” he said. “I don’t want be seen as a specific type, but as a blank canvas.”

The story of “Race” centers on Owens’ gold-medal performances in four

“RACE” STARRING: Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis,

Eli Goree PLOT: Jesse Owens’ quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy.

RATED: PG-13 for thematic elements and language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 14 minutes

track-and-field events at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the attendant controversy surrounding the novelty of a black athlete outshining Hitler’s Aryan heroes.

“I knew [Owens] had won some races,” James said, “but I didn’t know how many he won or when he won them. I didn’t even know what he won them in.” (For the record: Owens took the gold in both the 100- and 200-meter sprints, the 400-meter relay, and the long jump, in which he set a world record. In the buildup to the Games, there was an international debate about boycotting the Olympics in response to Hitler’s record of discrimination and his efforts to use the athletic competition as a propaganda tool.)

Although James calls the publicity circuit slightly awkward, he recognizes the parade of back-to-back interviews is part of the job. “The nerves don’t go away,” he said. “They’re still there. But I’m the face of this film. I have to spread the message of ‘Race.’ ” That message, James believes, is a celebration of colorblindness. “Jesse Owens didn’t see anything – or anyone – in color,” he said. With the encouragement of legendary Ohio State track-and-field

coach Larry Snyder (played by Jason Sudeikis), Owens concentrated on the craft of running, leaving the politics – and the hero-worship that grew up around him – to others, according to James.

“I actually see a lot of similarities between us,” said James, who met Owens’ three daughters to get a personal sense of their father. “They really just saw him as Daddy, not some superhero. I also never intended to become a celebrity. For me, acting has always been about playing cool characters and telling great stories.”

For James, there’s evidence Owens’ breaking of racial barriers in 1936 was not the end of one of those great stories but the beginning. Recent controversy over the lack of diversity in this year’s Oscar race, for example, is a reminder “of why these stories still are important to tell,” James said.

The fact certain films with black actors or directors – “Creed,” “Straight Outta Compton,” “Concussion” and “Beasts of No Nation” – seem to have been overlooked in this year’s Academy Awards is less troubling to James than the fact there are so few of them to begin with.

“We have to have the opportunity to tell those stories, so that people can even put us in the conversation,” he said.

“This is what a film like ‘Race’ helps to do. We’ve told a story about a man who did incredible things at a time when a lot of people didn’t think this was possible. A lot of people thought it was inconceivable for a black man to go over to Nazi Germany and to win like he did, especially in the face of Hitler and his vision of Aryan supremacy. No black person, no Jew would win anything while his Germans were out there. ‘Race’ shows how far we have come as a society, but also why we can’t afford to go backwards.”

‘The Witch’ a haunting prequel to Salem

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press Set under gray Puritan skies in a deathly autumn, “The Witch” is a slow-burning 1600s horror thriller so bone-dry it would take only a match for the whole movie to go up in flames.

“A New England folktale” is how the opening titles describe writerdirector Robert Eggers’ impressively rigorous feature debut. The film doesn’t just take place in early 17th century America, but it effectively has summoned the nightmares and superstitions of the era, much of which Eggers faithfully reproduced from various historical sources.

The subject here is less witches as some supernatural fright than the Puritan psychology that dreamed them.

Do not expect broomsticks.

A family, led by a prideful patriarch, William (Ralph Ineson, terrific), is banished from the plantation after his stubborn refusal to accept common law as above his own superior piety. “I would be glad of it,” he seethes when threatened with expulsion.

“THE WITCH” STARRING: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie PLOT: A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.

RATED: R for disturbing violent content and graphic nudity TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes

Our images of the settlement are fleeting. The eldest of the five children, Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy, in a breakout performance) peers backward as the wooden gates close behind them as they ride out. The picture is drained of color and the score (by Mark Korven) is eerie and discordant: trouble waits outside the gates.

After setting up a scrappy existence in the wilderness, misfortunes mount. The crops die, and, when Thomasin takes the newborn out near the forest, the child vanishes.

That night, after frantic searching, an image flickers of a witch-like figure

floating toward a full moon.

A spell of mysterious source seems to have settled over the family that spookily manifests in various farm animals: a rabbit in the woods, a bloody chick in an egg. Eventually, a goat and a crow get in on the act. A suitably creepy set of toddler twins is here, too.

As things steadily get worse and demons seem literally at the door, the faith of the family is tested. Suspicions begin falling on Thomasin, a fair, pale-white girl whose growth into womanhood is drawing the curious gaze of her younger brother, Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw). Could she be a witch?

The spell is cast over the viewer, too, as the authentically resurrected world of “The Witch” transports to a time of suffocating fear, born out of a harsh new land and hardened religious fervor. Taking place decades before the Salem witch trials, “The Witch” is a kind of horror chamber piece, a stripped-bare prequel to the forces that propel Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter.”

The characters speak in the formal diction of the period – lots of “thees” and such. It’s a kind of time travel, for those looking for a far grimmer trip to colonial America than New England tourist attractions afford. It is, to say the least, not a barrel of laughs.

But what makes “The Witch” more than a mere museum reclamation project is Taylor-Joy. The movie is in many ways seen through Thomasin, who stands apart from her devout family. Wide-eyed and rebellious, she more resembles a girl of today.

Whether she is, in fact, a witch remains in suspense. But we witness how Puritan paranoia and misogyny turns a pretty young woman like Thomasin into a fearsome seductress in the eyes of her family.

When the combustible “The Witch” finally lets itself ablaze, the brutal and surprisingly sober finale is also – and more thrillingly – Thomasin’s awakening. Drawn by the lure to break free of her upbringing, to “live deliciously,” she turns out to be something scarier than the Puritans could fathom: a teenager.

Apply at: https://va175.ersp.biz/employment

Aldous Huxley’s book “Themes and Variations” was published in 1950. It included this sentence: Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Beginning bridge players soon learn not to take much for granted.

There are so many variations on themes -- this deal, for example.

Yesterday, I discussed the right play for J-9-6-4 opposite A-Q-10-7. In isolation, taking the finesse is correct.

In theory, it will win 50 percent of the time. A priori, the king will be singleton offside a little under one time in 33. But in yesterday’s deal, taking the finesse was wrong, because the king was known to be offside from the bidding. That does not apply here, but why is it an error for South to take the spade finesse in three notrump after West leads a fourth-highest heart seven to East’s queen and declarer’s king?

If North had used Stayman, South would have been in four spades, a contract that would have normally required either the spade finesse to work or a good heart guess (or heart lead from West).

In three no-trump, South has seven top tricks: one spade, one heart (trick one), three diamonds and two clubs. He will obviously play on spades for the extra winners, and if that finesse is working, he can gain an overtrick. However, if it loses and West led from a five- or six-card suit, the contract will fail. Declarer should fight to keep East off the lead. He should start with the spade jack, to encourage a cover by West, but then rise with dummy’s ace. If the king drops, great; if the royal does not appear, South leads another spade and hopes for the best.
