Good morning, McHenry County ...

Liberty Principles’ cash falls on county Dan Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC got a $1.8 million infusion of cash in January from the Turnaround Illinois PAC, and the political action committee is using the money to support two candidates in races involving McHenry County, including publishing its own newspaper.

Liberty Principles makes independent expenditures in support of liberty-oriented policies and candidates. To that end, it spent $69,171.94 last week on Dan McConchie, who is running in the 26th District state Senate Republican primary, for advertising and graphic design work. It also spent $61,629.33 on Allen Skillicorn, who is running in the 66th District state House Republican primary, for advertising.

PIONEER FUNDING DEAL OK’D

Mental Health Board approves $600K plan to keep agency open

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com

Scott Block (left), McHenry County Mental Health Board executive director, and Connee Meschini, board president, ask questions to representatives from Pioneer Center for Human Services during Thursday’s meeting in Crystal Lake.

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County’s largest provider of services for the mentally disabled got a financial lifeline from the Mental Health Board, provided it meets stringent reporting requirements to prove its fiscal competency.

Board members voted Thursday evening, 6-1, to approve a $600,000 rescue plan for Pioneer Center for Human Services while it transfers its behavioral health services clients to other agencies and prepares to lease or sell two of its facilities under a 60- to 90-day restructuring plan.

But the board, concerned over Pioneer’s sustainability and financial problems caused by lax billing and other issues, attached some strings.

Pioneer gets $300,000 up front, and must provide weekly cash-flow reports, and in-person financial updates every other week, before the Mental Health Board approves the remaining $300,000 at its March 22 meeting.

Pioneer Center Board President Mike Moushey said after the threehour meeting that both sides “reached alignment on the priority of sustaining client services going forward.”

“We all wanted the same thing, and we had the same common goal that drove the outcome,” Moushey said.

Under the plan, Pioneer will slim down 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

Sheriff’s House window project delayed; new target is May 25

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Several Woodstock City Council members and city staff said they were disappointed after the completion date to install new windows at the Sheriff’s House was delayed, extending the time some window openings would be covered with plywood.

“The plywood looks like we’ve given up on the building, when in fact it’s the absolute opposite,” council member Maureen Larson said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “We’re just investing in the building.”

Work to restore and replace the jail windows on the Sheriff’s House was expected to be completed by December, but because of a busy schedule, the window manufacturer, Graham Architectural Products, pushed the date back to May 25, according to city documents.

The windows have been in need of repair for decades, City Planner Nancy Baker said, and work to stabilize the window openings has already been completed. The last step will be to install the new windows, she said.

In the meantime, plywood is covering

“It’s better to ... take a couple months delay, rather than to go the other route just to get something in slightly sooner [and not] do it historically correct.”

Mike Turner

Woodstock City Council member the 17 jail windows on the historic cityowned building that sits on the Square next to the Old Courthouse.

In September, the council approved a bid for the project with CMM & Associates of Rockford for about $160,000.

The price of the project is increasing by about $10,000 because of additional work that needs to be done around the window openings and a leak in the roof, according to city documents.

City Manager Roscoe Stelford said the city looked at different options after it heard there would be a significant delay in making the windows, but no other company would give the historic look at the price the city is looking for.

The steel jail windows will be replaced with a cheaper aluminum option, and look similar to the historic windows, Baker has said.

“It’s better to do that and take a couple months delay, rather than to go the other route just to get something in slightly sooner [and not] do it historically correct,” council member Mike Turner said.

Baker said the Northwest Area Arts Council, which runs the Old Courthouse Arts Center, is willing to work with the city to see if it can temporarily put art in the windows that are covered with plywood.

A change of order for the extended timeline and cost of the project was approved unanimously at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Mayor Brian Sager and council member Dan Hart were absent.

Funds for the project come from a downtown tax increment financing district that includes $250,000 for work at the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House.

6 McHENRY

City Council approves 3-year contract with police union Officers to get 2.5 percent raise next year

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A new contract for McHenry’s police officers will include a 2.5 percent raise next year and 2.75 percent raises the following two years.

The McHenry City Council approved the three-year contract with the police union in a 5-2 vote at its meeting Monday evening, despite concerns that the raises were not sustainable.

The compound cost of the raises will run between $250,000 and $260,000 over the course of the contract, with $82,000 of the cost coming in the first year, City Administrator Derik Morefield said.

The newly approved contract follows a one-year extension on the last three-year contract, which included 2 percent raises each year, according to

city documents.

The extension had been requested last year by city administration after Gov. Bruce Rauner proposed as part of his budget a 50 percent cut to the share of the state income tax that local governments receive.

The contract before that had 2.25 percent Derik raises each year, More- Morefield field said.

“When you start looking at percentages on top of percentages on top of percentages, you’re looking at some pretty big bucks,” said Alderman Andy Glab, who voted against the contract along with Alderman Victor Santi.

Glab questioned whether the raises were sustainable in light of the city’s “crumbling infrastructure [and] drainage issues.”

Alderman Scott Curry also had some reservations with the raises because they ran higher than the rate of inflation, but he said he didn’t think it was “an outlandish deal.”

“I certainly support our police because I understand the difficulties of their job,” Curry said. “The numbers that we approved are basically right in line with what other communities are doing around us. From that Andy Glab standpoint, I certainly support it. I don’t think our police are overpaid.”

But while Glab said he wasn’t saying that the police officers don’t Victor Santi deserve the raise, he noted that the raises were not in line with what a lot of residents in McHenry experienced during the recession and its aftermath.

CRYSTAL LAKE

D-155 administrator moving on to D-47

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A current Community High School District 155 administrator will be leaving and starting next school year at an elementary feeder district as the head of its student learning department.

The Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board on Tuesday approved the hiring of Scott Kubelka, current director of curriculum and assessment for District 155, to fill the role of assistant superintendent of student learning starting July 1.

Replacing Jean Bevevino, Kubelka has been with District 155 since 2005 and previously has worked as an elementary principal and teacher for DeKalb School District 428.

“I am appreciative of the opportunity to serve [District 47] in this capacity,” Kubelka said in a recent District 47 news release. “For years, I had the good fortune to collaborate with [District] 47 staff on a variety of matters and I have always admired and appreciated what they have accomplished

“To be part of [District] 47 in this manner means a great deal to me.”

Scott Kubelka

Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 assistant superintendent of student learning

for the benefit of students. To be part of [District] 47 in this manner means a great deal to me.”

District 47 Superintendent Kathy Hinz said Kubelka’s prior experience at the high school district will be beneficial to his role at the elementary district.

“We look forward to having Scott join our team,” she said in the release.

“Scott’s roots in elementary education combined with his unique perspective and experience at the high school level will allow us to continue to align and reinforce our efforts to prepare students for high school and beyond.”

For District 155, it means the loss

of an administrator Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said “has done a wonderful job during his time with our district.”

He added that district leaders will discuss the position and get something posted for next year once Kubelka officially tenders his resignation.

As director of curriculum and assessment, Kubelka works under Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Corey Tafoya.

In his new position, Thomas said the two still will work together across districts.

“We believe that having him be the curriculum leader in [District 47], working alongside his current supervisor – they will continue to form a team,” Thomas said. “We are really excited for him.”

Kubelka and Bevevino, who has been with the district for 17 years, will finish out the current school year.

In her retirement, Bevevino said she plans to stay connected to educational leadership and coaching/mentoring, and looks forward to spending time with her family.

Woman in stable Police searching for driver who fled crash condition after crash killed horse

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The 52-year-old Marengo woman who was seriously injured after her vehicle collided with a horse Wednesday evening was listed in stable condition Thursday, police said.

Police said the woman was driving a 2002 Honda CR-V east in the 8000 block of Route 20 east of Coral Road about 6:13 p.m. Wednesday when her vehicle struck the horse.

Fire officials at the time of the crash said the horse broke through the vehicle’s windshield.

The horse was one of two that had gotten loose from a local farm in unincorporated Coral Township,

according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

The owner of the horse arranged for it to be euthanized at the scene because of injuries sustained in the crash, officials said.

Police said the woman was wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash, which caused her airbag to deploy.

She was flown to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford.

Police do not suspect that drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.

Officials have not filed any charges or citations related to the crash.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Traffic Crash Investigations Unit continues to investigate.

RICHMOND – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a driver who fled the scene of a two-vehicle crash Tuesday night on Route 12.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said about 7:45 p.m. a 2001 Mercury Sable LS was driving east on Route 12 near North Solon Road when the driver crossed the center line and struck the front driver’s side of a 2006 Audi A4 being driven west.

Knop said when both vehicles stopped, the driver of the Mercury fled the scene. McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies and officers from Richmond and Spring Grove were unable to find the driver.

The driver of the Audi, a 36-yearold woman from Pell Lake, Wisconsin, was wearing her seat belt and uninjured, Knop said.

How to help

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office at 815-338-2144.

There were no passengers in either vehicle.

Police found no evidence that drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, Knop said.

Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene.

Knop said police have attempted to make contact with the registered driver, but have so far not been successful.

Police have not determined if the registered owner was the one driving at the time.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office at 815-338-2144.

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock police have deemed there was no threat to Woodstock High School students’ safety after investigating a text from a former student saying he had heard there was going to be a “massacre” at the school on Thursday.

Police Chief Robert Lowen said Woodstock police were informed about 11:10 p.m. Wednesday that an 18-year-old former high school student from unincorporated Woodstock had sent the text to a current student who lives in Crystal Lake and had asked if the student was planning to go to school.

The 18-year-old from Crystal Lake told his mother about the texts, Lowen said. They reported it to the Crystal Lake Police Department, where officers directed them to Woodstock police.

Lowen said the sender told police

he was tremendously sorry, calling the texts a joke that went too far.

“We called in a detective who went to the home of the sender, talked to the parents and the youth and determined this was in fact a joke,” Lowen said. “The sender had no issues that would lead him to any acts of depression or violence.”

The detective and patrol officer who met with the sender determined that he was trying to get the Woodstock High School student to not to go to school Thursday so that they could hang out, the Woodstock Police Department said in a news release.

Lowen said police contacted Woodstock School District 200 Superintendent Mike Moan.

The 18-year-old was not charged, Lowen said.

As an added precaution, the Woodstock High School resource officer and on-duty patrol officers provided extra patrols in the area, the release said.

McHENRY – A head-on collision in McHenry sent both drivers to the hospital Thursday evening, a fire official said.

The McHenry Township Fire Protection District and the McHenry Police Department responded about 6:20 p.m.

Thursday to Route 31 in front of Gary Lang Auto Group, McHenry Township Fire Protection District Lt. Jim Chancellor said.

Emergency responders took two people, a man as a precaution and a woman with more serious injuries, to Centegra Hospital – McHenry, he said.

Chancellor did not have their ages or towns of residence.

The crash occurred when one of the vehicles crossed the center line, McHenry Police Sgt. Paul Funk said, adding that he didn’t have any more details as the report was not finished.

No one else was involved in the crash, he said.

Route 31 was closed in both directions for about a half hour and then partially closed for another 15 minutes, Funk said.

LOCAL BRIEF

• FUNDING

Continued from page A3 Deliver Shelter, the homelessness agency it absorbed in 2006.

Pioneer Center announced last week that it would need to raise at least $400,000 immediately to keep its doors open. McHenry-based Pioneer serves about 4,800 clients a year.

While the eight-month state budget stalemate has exacerbated Pioneer’s fiscal woes – the state owes it at least $1.5 million in late payments – Mental Health Board members expressed concerns over past financial problems and a significant turnover of top management.

For example, Pioneer lost at least $2.6 million in behavioral health reimbursement because of inadequate billing and lack of follow-up with the state, which provides about 60 percent of Pioneer’s budget. Pioneer inherited most of its behavioral health services when it absorbed the services of Family Service, which shuttered its doors in 2012.

Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block said the board did not want to dwell on the past, but had a responsibility to spend taxpayer money wisely. The board doles out property taxes from a voter-approved levy to fund agencies helping people with mental and developmental disabilities.

“You’re trying to uphold your fiduciary duties with the emotional pull to

McHenry County residents gather for Thursday’s meeting in Crystal Lake to learn the fate of Pioneer Center for Human Services. vote for the services at hand, but the Mental Health Board has to evaluate these programs because the people getting the care won’t continue to do so if the programs are not sustainable,” Block said.

The sole opposing vote on the Mental Health Board came from member Ray Lapinas, who was skeptical of Pioneer’s long-term financial sustainability, Block said.

Discussion and the vote came after a number of political officials and parents of people receiving services

spoke on Pioneer’s behalf. Supporters included Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley and McHenry Mayor Sue Low, and statements were read from officials including state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, and Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills.

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.

PORT BARRINGTON – A 33-year-old Port Barrington woman’s condition has stabilized after a snowmobile crash Wednesday evening sent her to the hospital in critical condition, a Lake County Sheriff’s Office official said.

Deputies responded about 9:35 p.m.

Wednesday to the 2600 block of North Wisteria Court, Port Barrington, for a snowmobile crash, according to a news release. They found the driver lying on the ground unconscious. She was taken to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in critical condition, the release said, adding that she had hit her head on the pavement when the snowmobile overturned. No one else was involved in the crash. The woman had taken the snowmobile for a short ride, according to the release. When she accelerated rapidly, the front skis of the snowmobile lifted off the ground and she was ejected.

She was found less than a block from her Port Barrington home, said Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli. Alcohol is believed to have played a factor in the crash, the release said. The crash is under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit.

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CARY – Charges are being sought against two Cary-Grove High School students who police say took surreptitious photos of other students in the boys locker room.

The Cary Police Department began its investigation into the photos Tuesday after being notified by Cary-Grove staff, the department said in a news release.

The photos did not show any nudity but did show several students “in various stages of undress,” the release said.

The students could not be identified because of the angle and quality of the photos.

The department has no evidence to suggest the photos were disseminated to anyone beyond the two students, the

Coronary Artery Disease Are you at risk?

SPONSORED BY

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD

SM

By Diane Krieger Spivak Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women worldwide.

Coronary artery disease refers to any disease of the coronary arteries which supply the heart muscle with blood. The most common is atherosclerotic coronary disease - a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, commonly caused by diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, advanced age and tobacco use.

According to Douglas Tomasian, MD, Cardiology Director at Centegra Heath System, the most common cause of cardiac death is an acute heart attack (myocardial infarction).

“Many patients will never have symptoms before their first myocardial infarction,” said Tomasian. “Therefore, it is important to know your risk factors, know your general health and seek out attention before having a heart attack.”

The most common symptom is chest pain.

“Unfortunately, many patients never experience chest pain before their first cardiac event, and in many instances, the first pre-

sentation of blocked coronary arteries is sudden cardiac death,” Tomasian said.

Symptoms of an acute heart attack can include unremitting chest pain, sweating and low blood pressure, requiring aggressive support in the emergency room, and often more aggressive care through the cardiac catheterization laboratory, according to Tomasian.

“Many patients won’t have symptoms before their first heart attack, so often, it’s incumbent upon the patient to seek medical attention and have diagnostic testing, such as a stress test, coronary calcium scores via CT scanning, and, if necessary, even diagnostic coronary angiography,” he said.

Treatment often helps in reducing risk factors such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

“Treatments include medication as well as revascularization in which blood flow is improved to the heart muscle,” said Tomasian. “The most common approach would be angioplasty or stents, but coronary artery bypass surgery is also an option in advanced cases.”

ISLAND LAKE – A chlorine leak at an Island Lake well house led to a precautionary evacuation of 16 homes, affecting only one person, the Wauconda Fire Protection District said in a news release.

The fire department responded at 10:32 a.m. Thursday to the well house, 3299 Waterford Way in Island Lake, after receiving a call from the village’s public works department, Battalion Chief Ed Dagdick said.

The public works department had received a notification of an alarm being triggered at the facility, the release said.

Responding employees were notified by an on-site alarm that air levels were not normal and smelled

chlorine, leading them to evacuate the 75-foot-by-25-foot building and call the fire department.

The situation triggered a MABAS box alarm, bringing in the Lake and McHenry County Hazardous Materials Team with 27 technicians and resources from 21 departments, the release said.

They found and contained the leak, which was confined to one tank, the release said. The building held nine 150-pound tanks, two of which were hooked up.

The leak had not led to a cloud or any vapor, Dagdick said, adding that the situation put no one in danger.

Emergency responders remained on the scene for about three and half hours, Dagdick said, adding that he did not know the cause of the leak.

release said.

Deputy Chief James Fillmore declined to comment on how the photos came to be discovered, but said they were taken on two separate days.

He added that it was “isolated situation, not an ongoing thing.”

The incident is being investigated as unauthorized video recording and live video transmission, a criminal offense, with the cooperation of Community High School District 155, the release said.

A decision on whether the charges will be filed as misdemeanors or felonies will be made by the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, Fillmore said.

A 17-year-old Crystal Lake Central High School student accused of planting a pinhole camera in a boys locker room in March 2013 faced a felony charge in adult court.

He was subsequently accepted into the county’s first-offender program, which meant that if he successfully completed the program, he would not have a conviction on his record.

Skeptics question Chicago video policy

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s promise to release videos of police shootings in no more than three months was touted as a way to bring more transparency to Chicago after the city took more than a year to make public the footage of a teenager’s death.

But skeptics question why Chicago needs so long to release the same type of videos that Cincinnati and Seattle already make public within days, if not hours. That has sown doubts that the new practice will do little to restore the trust that was damaged when the public saw the now-famous video of a white officer firing an entire magazine into Laquan McDonald, who was black, as he appeared to walk away from police.

The policy announced Tuesday calls for all videos to be released within 60 days. The deadline could be extended to 90 days if law enforcement requests a delay.

“That just gives them time to alter the video, do something to it, change the

News from across the state Rauner creates cabinet to deal with children’s issues

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has created a special cabinet to streamline education and issues regarding young people across Illinois.

Rauner signed an executive order Thursday morning at a middle school in Riverton, outside Springfield, creating the Governor’s Cabinet on Children and Youth. He said the cabinet will bring together all state entities that deal with children into a central unit. He’s calling it the Children’s Cabinet.

The governor said he wants the cabinet to make sure state resources are used effectively and working together. State Secretary of Education Beth Purvis said the current system in Illinois is “fragmented.”

The cabinet has nearly 20 members, including the chiefs of state agencies such as the Department of Children and Family Services and Department of Juvenile Justice.

dates, maybe delete some things,” said April Cross, who lives in a predominantly black neighborhood on the city’s West Side. “That’s not giving people in the community faith in the police department at all.”

Emanuel, in a statement, said the policy “strikes a better balance of ensuring transparency for the public while also ensuring any crimi- Rahm nal or disciplinary inves- Emanuel tigations are not compromised.”

Although most of the attention will be on dashcam videos, the policy also calls for the release of any video – public or private – collected by authorities during investigations, as well as audio recordings and police reports.

The mayor fought against the release of the McDonald video, and recently released emails reveal an intense interest in his office with how the story was playing in the press.

One activist said the policy is more

Bond set at $150,000 for arrested serial stowaway

CHICAGO – A woman with a history of sneaking aboard airplanes has been arrested again at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Bond was set Thursday at $150,000 for 64-year-old Marilyn Hartman. Police said she was arrested Wednesday at an airport bus shuttle center. She’s due in court Tuesday on charges of felony probation violation and misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Hartman has tried numerous times in recent years to board planes without a ticket, succeeding at least once by flying from San Jose, California, to Los Angeles in August 2014. She was arrested twice in two days last summer at O’Hare and Chicago’s Midway International Airport. She also has airport-related arrests in Arizona.

Hartman was released on probation to a Chicago nursing home in December, and ordered to avoid airports and Chicago’s Union Station.

Baby sitter faces trial deadline in murder case

WAUKEGAN – A Lake County judge said an Illinois baby sitter charged with killing a 3-month-old Wisconsin girl will go to trial Feb. 29 unless progress on

about influencing damaging news coverage than achieving transparency.

“The 60 days is so the administration can get ahead of the story, to give them time to come up with a PR strategy ... and cook up a story on how they are going to massage what is on the video and serve it to the public,” said William Calloway, a leader in the legal fight with the city over the McDonald video.

Craig Futterman, a University of Chicago law professor who argued for the video’s release, doesn’t go that far.

But he wonders how much good the new policy will do.

“There is no way this is not an improvement. ... But I see it as an insufficient step if the goal is to earn trust,” Futterman said. “To establish trust, that means being honest from the beginning, not 60 days, 90 days later.”

Sergio Acosta, a former federal prosecutor who helped craft the policy, said the 60-day deadline does that.

“Basically, we wanted to give investigators sufficient time to do what they needed to do in terms of interviewing people and gathering other evidence

that would not be tainted by a release that is too early,” said Acosta, who also is a member of a task force Emanuel created after the release of the video to make recommendations on how to reform the police force.

The new policy also lets the public know that the days of keeping evidence a secret indefinitely are over, and it puts investigators on notice that the clock is ticking, he said. If police ask for an additional 30 days, those requests must be made in writing and will be made public along with videos and police reports.

Acosta also said he does not expect all the releases to take 60 or 90 days.

Some will come out much quicker.

Other big-city departments already get videos to the public far sooner. In Seattle, the police department released dashcam video last month of police shooting a knife-wielding man the day after it happened. It was the same Thursday in Cincinnati, where the day after police shot and killed a man they say was reaching for a gun, they released cellphone video shot from a nearby car in a mere 17 hours.

a plea deal is made. The Waukegan NewsSun reported that the judge ruled this week after defense attorneys asked to delay 37-year-old Sarah Gumm’s trial until March. Prosecutors want to go to trial.

Judge Victoria Rossetti gave both sides until Monday for plea negotiations. The judge said she would consider pretrial motions Monday if there isn’t any movement on a resolution.

Gumm is charged with first-degree murder in the July 2012 death of Rylan Aislee Koopmeiners of Kenosha, Wisconsin. She is accused of causing a head injury that resulted in the baby’s death at her home in Waukegan.

would reduce disparities in access to critical care on the South Side and address “severe capacity constraints” at the hospital. She said the hospital had to turn away patients on 310 days last year.

The South Side hasn’t had adult trauma care since 1991 when the Michael Reese Hospital in the Bronzeville neighborhood closed its trauma center.

U of Chicago Medicine seeks OK for expansion

CHICAGO – University of Chicago Medicine has submitted to state regulators a $269 million expansion proposal that includes an adult trauma center.

The health system announced Thursday it’s asking regulators to approve the addition of 188 inpatient beds. Hospital officials said that would return the hospital to roughly its size in the late 1970s.

The plan includes turning Mitchell Hospital into a cancer center.

Champaign County board keeps hospitals on tax rolls

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign County Board of Review has affirmed its decision to put area hospital properties back on the tax rolls.

The Champaign News-Gazette reported the board’s decision affects Carle health system and Presence Covenant Medical Center. An attorney for Carle said the health system will pay about $9 million in property taxes this year. Attorney Steven Pflaum said that’s “way too high.”

The decision stems from an Illinois 4th District Appellate Court ruling in January that a state law allowing hospitals to avoid taxes is unconstitutional. The ruling reopened a statewide dispute over whether hospitals should be exempt from paying millions of dollars in income taxes and property taxes to local governments.

Pope Francis waves goodbye before his departure Wednesday at the Abraham Gonzalez International Airport in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Francis returned to Italy after a five-day visit in Mexico.

Pope on Trump: Building border wall ‘not Christian’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – Thrusting himself into the heated American presidential campaign, Pope Francis declared Thursday that Donald Trump is “not Christian” if he wants to address illegal immigration only by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump fired back ferociously, saying it was “disgraceful” for a religious leader to question a person’s faith.

The rare back-and-forth between pontiff and presidential candidate was the latest astonishing development in an American election already roiled by Trump’s free-wheeling rhetoric and controversial policy proposals, particularly on immigration. It also underscored the popular pope’s willingness to needle U.S. politicians on hot-button issues.

Francis’ comments came hours after he concluded a visit to Mexico, where he prayed at the border for people who died trying to reach the U.S. While speaking to reporters on the papal plane, he was asked what he thought of Trump’s campaign pledge to build a wall along the entire length of the border and expel millions of people in the U.S. illegally.

“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” he said. While Francis said he would “give the benefit of the doubt” because he had not heard Trump’s border plans independently, he added, “I say only that this man is not a Christian if he has said things like that.”

Trump, a Presbyterian and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, responded within minutes.

“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful,” he said at a campaign stop in South Carolina, which holds a key primary on Saturday. “I am proud to be a Christian, and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened.”

Trump also raised the prospect of the Islamic State extremist group attacking the Vatican, saying that if that happened, “the pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this would not have happened.”

Trump eased off later Thursday, saying he thought the pope’s comments were “probably a little bit nicer” than first reported.

Francis, the first pope from Latin America, urged Congress during his visit to Washington last year to respond to immigrants “in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal.”

He irked Republicans on the same trip with his forceful call for international action to address climate change.

Immigration is among the most contentious issues in American politics. Republicans have moved toward hardline positions that emphasize law enforcement and border security, blocking comprehensive legislation in 2013 that would have included a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally. Hispanics, an increasingly large voting bloc in U.S. presidential elections, have flocked to Democrats in recent years.

Some mull term limit for Supreme Court justices

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Justice Antonin Scalia’s sudden death a month before his 80th birthday and the potential impasse over replacing him is giving new impetus to an old idea: Limiting the service of Supreme Court justices.

Scalia had been on the court for nearly 30 years, longer than any of the current justices and all but 14 of the 112 men and women who have served on the court.

“I think 30 years on the court is too long for anyone – liberal or conservative. That is just too much power in one person’s hands for too long a period,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, a liberal legal scholar and dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine.

The Constitution says federal judges “shall hold their offices during good behaviour,” which means essentially as they long as they wish.

The most talked-about idea has support among both liberals and conservatives. A single 18-year-term would replace lifetime tenure. Going forward, presidents would appoint a justice every two years, ensuring both continuity on the court and two picks for each presidential term. On the right, former

Texas Gov. Rick Perry advanced a similar idea during his 2012 Republican campaign for president.

The Supreme Court already had been a topic of conversation in the presidential race. Scalia’s death has brought into stark relief how Supreme Court appointments can be a president’s most lasting legacy.

Even with Scalia’s death, there remain three justices who are Ruth Bader at least 77 years old and Ginsburg have served more than 20 years. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 83rd birthday is March 15.

Justice Anthony Kennedy turns 80 on July 23.

Justice Stephen Breyer will be 78 on Aug. 15.

Anthony Even with improved Kennedy medical care and longer life expectancies, health crises on the court are as inevitable as they are in society at large, said historian David Garrow.

left the bench over the next four years, along with Byron White, although he was a relatively youthful 76 when he retired.

Knowing that their picks may outlive them by decades, presidents tend to choose younger men and women for the job. President Ronald Reagan named the 50-year-old Scalia to the court in 1986. Douglas, the longest serving justice of them all, was appointed

by Franklin Delano Roosevelt before the start of World War II and served until 1975. He took his seat at age 40.

Other than Ginsburg, who was 60 when she took her seat in 1993, no one older than 55 has joined the court since 1972.

“If you are 62 years old, no one is going to appoint you under the current rules,” said University of Chicago professor Harold Pollack. Another point in favor of term limits, Pollack said, is that judges educated in the 1940s and ’50s are making decisions about samesex marriage and technology. “They’re from a totally different time. That’s not a wise institutional design,” he said.

Life tenure also undercuts the importance of elections, George Washington University law professor and former Kennedy clerk Orin Kerr wrote on the Volokh Conspiracy blog.

the Florida Gulf Coast dodging a hurricane,” Garrow said.

Justice William Douglas’ declining health provided the clearest example in recent decades of what can ensue when a debilitated justice remains on the bench. The 76-yearold Douglas suffered a stroke on Dec. 31, 1974, but did not retire until the following November.

Douglas tried to participate in the court’s work, but had trouble Stephen staying awake, even Breyer during public court sessions. Court arguments were interrupted when the justice, who used a wheelchair, had to leave the bench. Still, it took many months before Douglas agreed to retire.

He was not alone in staying on the court too long, Garrow said. Justices Hugo Black, Thurgood Marshall and Lewis Powell all suffered significant declines in what Garrow called their mental energy and should have left the court earlier than they did, he said.

The last time the court had as many as three justices in their 80s was in 1990, with Justices William Brennan, Harry Blackmun and Marshall. Brennan retired that year, and the other two also

WASHINGTON – Battling in intense public broadsides, Apple Inc. and the government are making their cases before anyone steps into a courtroom over a judge’s order forcing Apple to help the FBI hack into an iPhone in a sensational terrorism case. Both sides are framing their statements in ways that foreshadow the high-profile legal arguments that pit digital privacy rights against national security interests – and could affect millions of cellphone users.

Apple has until next Tuesday to protest in court the decision by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym in California. But the public relations campaigns – pitting one of the world’s leading technology companies against the muscle of the U.S. government – are already underway.

Is Apple adequately cooperating with federal agents investigating the deadly terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California? Is this simply a dispute to recover information from an iPhone 5C used by the gunman, or more broadly a fight affecting the privacy rights of innocent citizens who use Apple’s flagship product? Is this about profits or patriotism?

It depends on who you ask, and key players include powerful institutions of

tancing the company from the suggestion that it was protecting the privacy of a terrorist. “The FBI asked us for help in the days following the attack, and we have worked hard to support the government’s efforts to solve this horrible crime,” Cook said. “We have no sympathy for terrorists.”

Cook also said the FBI’s latest demand went beyond previous requests for help: “The U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create,” Cook said. “They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone.”

Cook introduced that radioactive word – “backdoor” – into the current debate, and the White House quickly rejected it. The pejorative term, describing a behind-the-scenes method hackers use to gain unauthorized access, has for years colored the discussion of how the government can obtain protected information or eavesdrop on encrypted communications from criminals or terrorists. The government is stressing that it wants help to unlock only the work-issued iPhone used by Syed Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in December. The FBI is “simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

ANOTHER VIEW

Obama spreads his new gospel Excited as they were about a presidential visit, legislators aren’t likely to be moved to action by his words.

President Barack Obama paid a visit last week to the Illinois General Assembly, where he delivered an admirable call for a different kind of politics that embraces a search for common ground in pursuit of the common good.

A clarion call for common sense is always welcome in Springfield. That’s particularly so as the state is in its eighth month without a budget.

The political process has failed the people of Illinois, and that pain is not mitigated by the fact no one in either party feels good about the budget standoff.

Obama touched on that point as well. He went on at great length about the virtues of intra-party cooperation while identifying in a single paragraph why the words he uttered ultimately will ring hollow with the power players in Springfield.

Observing that Republicans applauded when he touted legislative redistricting reform and Democrats cheered when he advocated automatic voter registration, Obama went to the heart of the problem.

“Now, just during the course of this talk, it’s been interesting to watch the dynamics, obviously.

In part because so much of our politics now is just designed for short-term, tactical gain. If you think having more voters will hurt you on Election Day, then suddenly you’re not interested in participation. And if you think gerrymandering is helping you instead of hurting you, then you’re not for those proposals,” he said.

In other words, it’s all about individual self-interest. Does anyone seriously think House Speaker Michael Madigan will abandon his lifelong approach to Chicago-style, bare-knuckle politics?

Can Gov. Bruce Rauner, a furniture-breaking, turnaround artist from the private sector, embrace the failed status quo Madigan favors?

Further, how many of our legislators would willingly give up their pay, perks, pensions and prestige as a condition of meeting the civics class ideal Obama recommended?

Politics has been defined as the making of decision by public means, and there’s much that goes into those decisions that is unattractive.

If sinners can go to church to hear a rousing sermon, there’s no harm in Illinois legislators hearing appeals to set aside their self-interest to serve broader interests. But the current stalemate won’t end until enough elected officials feel enough heat to persuade them to make concessions now considered unthinkable.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Apple’s clash with government won’t end well No one will ever know what was going on inside the head of one of the terrorists who went on a deadly rampage late last year in San Bernardino, California, killing 14.

FBI investigators, however, would like to know what was going on inside his iPhone – and Apple should do more to help them.

A federal judge has ordered Apple to assist the agency in getting access to Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone 5c, arguing it probably contains information critical to the investigation.

Apple calls this government overreach and is preparing for a fight.

On the surface, the court order is fairly straightforward.

The Justice Department has a warrant to search the phone,

and the data in question could be crucial: It could include messages, photographs and contacts that might show whether Farook was connected to a larger terrorist network or was planning further attacks.

But Farook’s phone has a security feature that automatically clears its data after 10 incorrect attempts at entering a password.

The FBI wants Apple to create a customized version of its operating system to circumvent the security feature and allow its agents to try as many password combinations as it takes to gain access.

Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook sees this request more ominously: The government, he wrote in a message posted on the company’s website, has “asked us to build a backdoor to the

iPhone.”

But this wouldn’t be a backdoor because it wouldn’t be built into Apple’s products – a deliberate weakness that hackers might hope to exploit. It would be a technique for opening the phone over which Apple would retain sole control, subject to court order. In fact, the order says the software need never leave the company’s campus.

It’s hardly unusual for the government to ask a company for assistance when one of its products is used in a crime.

Gun purveyors are enlisted in murder investigations, telecoms must cooperate with wiretaps, banks spend more hours and dollars preventing money laundering than you’d imagine.

Everyone has their orders.

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.

Republicans and waste

To the Editor: The difference between most Democrat voters and Republican voters is simple: Most Democrat voters learned a long time ago congressional Democrats have no intention of eliminating waste from the federal budget.

Republican voters, on the other hand, now are learning that after two years of Republican control of Congress, Republican talk about reducing the size of government and cutting wasteful spending is just that – talk.

An example of that is the recently passed spending bill that will fund government through 2016. The bloated spending bill is loaded with pork and funding for special interest groups. To see examples of government waste, visit the website of Citizens Against Government Waste and remember Republicans control Congress and all government spending.

Rickert voice of the people

To the Editor: We endorse Cherie Rickert, candidate

VIEWS Albert Hunt struggle decided by a few votes.

The context: After losing all the initial contests against the incumbent, Reagan rallied conservative forces with demagoguery, arguing that returning the Panama Canal to Panama would lead to the encirclement of the U.S. by hostile naval forces. (A Panama Canal treaty was signed a year later and took effect Dec. 31, 1999.) Reagan won most of the later primaries, and when the contests ended in early June the two Republicans virtually were tied.

Then, using the perquisites of the presidency – appointments, trips on Air Force One, small projects – Ford began to pick up delegates. John Sears, the brilliant Reagan campaign manager, realized the challenger couldn’t win a war of attrition. With Sen. Paul Laxalt, a Reagan confidant, he persuaded the Gipper to choose the liberal Pennsylvania Sen. Richard Schweiker, as his running mate. This was announced three weeks before the

for the County Board from District 3.

We have known Cherie Rickert for the past 35 years as a woman of compassion, intelligence, integrity and commitment. Cherie had been a professional nurse for many years before becoming a director of human resources within a local school district. Throughout both of these careers, she demonstrated true professionalism in all that she did.

Cherie is a voice of the people and cares deeply about the quality of life in McHenry County – now and in the future. Cherie has been a member of the county Ethics Commission, and is committed to ethical practice at all levels of government. She is dedicated to ensuring these values and principles are respected and adhered to by our county leaders.

For a fresh voice of the people on our board, we highly endorse and encourage your support of Cherie Rickert.

convention opened.

As Sears hoped, it had the effect, in football parlance, of freezing the linebackers; it was such a shock Republicans stepped back to take stock.

Ford, however, retained a small but clear advantage, so while conservatives focused on the platform, Sears’ next gambit was a proposed rules change that would have required any candidate to announce a running mate before being nominated. The idea was to force Ford to make a choice that might alienate one faction or the other and swing votes to Reagan.

Delegations from Mississippi to Illinois were in play on the rule-change vote, held on the second day of the convention. A key, however, was the pro-Ford Pennsylvania delegation. If Schweiker could persuade his fellow Pennsylvanians to support it, it would send a message across the Kansas City convention.

However, Schweiker’s longtime friend, neighbor and former campaign manager was Lewis, head of the Ford delegation in the state. With carrots and sticks, he outworked his old pal and Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly against the rule change. That sealed the nomination for Ford.

That history shows why fights over rules, not platform planks, are likely to be decisive in Cleveland if no Republican comes into the convention with a majority for the first time in 40 years.

It also suggests the key players won’t be powerful Washington lawmakers such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell or House Speaker Paul Ryan. They’ll be representatives of interest groups such as the National Rifle Association and religious-conservative organizations, which are working to elect delegates this year for most of the leading contenders.

Someone might even be fortunate enough to find a Drew Lewis. Reagan was so impressed with the Pennsylvanian who helped defeat him that he enlisted Lewis for his cabinet when he won the presidency four years later.

The Ford forces remained confident, even with Schweiker, they could hold Pennsylvania on any test vote.

“We had Drew,” recalls Stuart Spencer, the chief Ford strategist in the campaign. “We knew Drew controlled that delegation.”

It’s time to take seriously the possibility Republicans could arrive at their presidential nominating convention this summer without having chosen a candidate.

If that happens, the crucial disputes at the gathering in Cleveland will be about rules and procedures, not platforms and policies. The power brokers won’t be big-name senators but rather influential state officials and interest groups.

This was brought home with the death this past weekend of Drew Lewis, a central figure in the last contested convention. That was in 1976, when Ronald Reagan faced off against President Gerald Ford.

It’s an instructive model for what could happen starting this July 18 if billionaire Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and a mainstream Republican divide up the delegates and no one has a majority.

Lewis, who was 84, is usually remembered as Reagan’s transportation secretary when, in 1981, the government successfully broke a strike by the union representing air traffic controllers. In 1976, however, he was a pivotal player in denying Reagan the Republican nomination in an intense

Wisted’s Supermarket in Woodstock to close

Soon-to-be-vacant store drawing interest, city says

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Less than a year after shuttering its Huntley location, the Piggly Wiggly-owned Wisted’s Supermarket also will close its doors in Woodstock.

The Woodstock Wisted’s Supermarket, 330 N. Eastwood Drive, will close by the end of the month, store manager Claudio Zarate said.

The store has been there for about 10 years, he said, and

employs 25 people.

Shelves in the store are starting to go bare, as the store is offering 20 percent discounts on every item except alcohol and cigarettes in its final weeks, according to signs posted on the store’s windows.

Zarate said he did not know the owner’s reason for closing the store, adding the store’s lease ended in February. Multiple calls for comment to Wisted’s management were not returned.

The store will remain open

from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday, up until Feb. 28, Zarate said. He said that as far as he knows, Wisted’s Marengo location, 21775 W. Grant Highway, will remain open.

In 2013, Wisted’s supermarkets in Woodstock, Marengo and Huntley became Piggly Wiggly stores. The Huntley store, 10442 Route 47, opened in 2006 and closed in spring 2015, said Margo Griffin, business development coordinator for Huntley.

Garrett Anderson, economic development director for Woodstock, said Wisted’s did not approach the city to discuss options to stay in the community.

“We have spoken with a few other parties that are interested in using the building,” Anderson said, adding city officials would be able to offer an incoming user incentives because the building falls inside the newly established Harvard-Woodstock enterprise zone.

It has been just six weeks since 2016 started and things at the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce are already off to a great start.

The annual “Business Roundtable” luncheons in Cary and Fox River Grove served a valuable purpose, and the events put our chamber members and Cary-Grove area business leaders on the frontlines to discuss vision, growth and development affecting our communities.

The events promote awareness and engagement, meant to strengthen the dialogue between business and government leaders. They offer chamber members the opportunity to hear directly from local leadership and to ask questions pertinent to today’s issues.

The chamber continues to do this in other ways, as well.

Chamber representatives had the chance to advocate and discuss their local and regional issues. Representatives from the U.S. chamber and Illinois chamber also gave updates about their important issues.

In addition to serving its members through connections with government, the chamber also has provided great networking opportunities, such as the “Cary-Grove Annual Dinner” and the monthly “Chamber on Tap” social events.

More than 120 guests attended the dinner in late January for a spectacular evening complete with silent auction and casino games.

The chamber also was pleased to recognize some of our outstanding partners in 2015. Those recognized included the Algonquin Township Road District, the Village of Cary, the Village of Fox River Grove and BMO Harris Bank.

The chamber presented its annual leadership award to Dave Evans, who works at Evans Carpet Cleaning, along with giving its member of the year award to the Northwest Herald and the emerging leader award to Beth Repta from @properties Repta Realty Group.

Finally, the chamber also has delivered some exceptional marketing.

The 2016 Cary-Grove Area Community Guide was published in mid-January after several months of work.

The guide will be available around town all year and includes a complete list of chamber membership. It includes important information on many aspects of living, visiting and doing

business in Cary and Fox River Grove.

We’re excited for more activities to come later this year, including the Network Scramble Luncheon in March, Cary-Grove Area Community Showcase in April and the Miss CaryGrove Business Scholarship Pageant in May. Speaking of scholarships, did you know the Cary-Grove chamber offers an academic scholarship each year? Applications are available now, and the deadline to submit one is March 23.

To be considered, you must be a graduating senior who lives in Cary or Fox River Grove, and you should be heading into a business field or degree. Information is available at carygrovechamber.com.

Colorado debates organic labels for marijuana

By KRISTEN WYATT The Associated Press

Metal

CHAMBER NEWS Brad Ball

DENVER – Marijuana has attracted many labels in its time. On Friday, Colorado lawmakers debate whether the state should give the drug one more often associated with purple carrots than purple haze – certified organic.

Colorado could become the first state to regulate organic labels in its pot industry, with other legal weed states watching to see whether they too should step in to help consumers wondering what’s on their weed. Organic standards are regulated federally, and pot remains illegal at the federal level, meaning there’s nothing stopping commercial pot growers from calling their wares organic.

“Consumers have a right to know what they’re putting in their body,” said Colorado Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Democrat sponsoring the bill to create the state-sanctioned labels.

The bill has its first hearing Friday in the state House Public Health Care and Human Services Committee. The measure doesn’t specify what growers would have to do to get the certification.

It, instead, directs the state’s agricultural department to get a third party to draft the regulations. The bill also doesn’t say which pesticides would be off-limits for organic growers.

Consumer confusion over organic marijuana peaked in Colorado earlier this year, when Denver health authorities seized thousands of marijuana plants from growers suspected of using off-limits chemicals on their plants.

Most of the plants ultimately were released, but some were sold with names that suggested the products were natural or organic.

“That misleads people,” said Larisa Bolivar, head of the Cannabis Consumers Coalition. “We don’t want to wait for someone to get sick.

You need to know that when something says organic, it’s organic.”

Colorado likely is the first state to tighten the rules for advertising marijuana products as organic, said Chris Lindsey, legislative analyst for the pro-legalization Marijuana Policy Project.

The only other pot state to even mention organic certification is California, which last year adopted a regulation requiring organic certification for marijuana products by 2020, if permitted under federal law.

So far, federal authorities who have weighed in on state marijuana experiments haven’t mentioned accurate labeling standards, though a 2013 memo from the Department of Justice warned states that federal authorities want “strong and effective” regulations.

Colorado’s marijuana industry generally supports a state-level organic labeling bill.

“It’s something that we

need,” said Meg Sanders, CEO of Mindful, a company that grows marijuana and produces marijuana concentrates.

“Because of the federal illegality, to have a state standard would be incredibly helpful.”

Some pot producers are taking issue, though, with the fact that the industry would have to pay for the privilege of having regulators check to see if their plants are organic.

Some organic marijuana producers said the cost burden would hurt small organic growers in the so-called “craft cannabis” niche.

“I would be proud to advertise that our cannabis is organic,” said Julie Berliner, CEO of Sweet Grass Kitchen, which makes marijuana-infused sweets. “My concern lies with the cost of this certification.”

A nonpartisan analysis prepared for lawmakers gave no estimate of how much pot growers would be charged for the certification or what the organic labels might look like.

MacArthur gives millions in grants to Chicago arts

LEFT: Bill Cosby arrives Dec. 30 at court to face a felony charge of aggravated indecent assault in Elkins Park, Pa. RIGHT: Andrea Constand walks her dog Dec. 31 in Toronto.

Cosby demands money returned from accuser in sex assault case PHILADELPHIA – Bill Cosby’s legal and public-relations strategy took a sharp turn this week with word that he has sued the accuser in a criminal sexual-assault case against him for talking to police.

Cosby wants accuser Andrea Constand to return the money he paid her to settle her 2005 civil lawsuit because she sat for an interview last year with police who reopened the case. Cosby said that violates the confidentiality agreement she signed to not talk about the case. Criminal defense lawyer David Walker, who is not involved in the case, has followed Cosby’s fall from grace and said the TV star’s strategy “makes him look like a bully.” “[He’s thinking], ‘I paid her to be quiet, and now she’s not being quiet, so now I’m going to sue her, now I’m going to harass her,’ ” Walker said. “I can’t see anything positive that comes from it.”

Cosby has kept lawyers busy in several states this past year as he fights the criminal case in Pennsylvania, pursues defamation suits against accusers in Massachusetts and California and now files a breach-of-contract suit against Constand, her mother and her lawyers.

The suit said Constand had no legal duty to cooperate with Pennsylvania authorities because she lives in Canada. The interviews she and her mother gave to investigators last year were therefore “voluntary” and violated the settlement terms, the suit said.

“Despite being under no legal obligation to discuss any aspects of the events and allegations, ... and despite being expressly prohibited from disclosing such information to anyone, Andrea Constand volunteered to participate and disclosed such information to the district attorney and others,” Cosby’s lawyers wrote in a redacted version of the Feb. 1 lawsuit that was filed Thursday.

CHICAGO – The MacArthur Foundation is focusing this year on its hometown by distributing $6.5 million to more than a dozen Chicago arts groups.

The foundation on Thursday announced 14 recipients of this year’s MacArthur Awards for Creative and Effective Institutions.

In the past, the award has gone to organizations worldwide. But this year, the Chicago-based foundation only gave to Chicago theater, film, music, opera, arts and dance groups as a “commitment to its hometown.”

The largest of this year’s grants, $1 million, goes to Lookingglass Theatre on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. The Chicago Opera Theater will receive $800,000. Other recipients include the Chicago Film Archives and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic.

Grants range from $200,000 to $1 million based on the size of the group’s budget. The awards have been given out since 2006.

NBC picks key Broadway creators for its ‘Hairspray’

NEW YORK – NBC has tapped some deep Broadway talent for its live production of the stage musical “Hairspray.”

Kenny Leon, who won a Tony for the recent revival of “A Raisin in the Sun,” will direct the show from composer Marc Shaiman and his co-lyricist, Scott Wittman.

Jerry Mitchell, who won Tonys for

choreographing “La Cage aux Folles” and “Kinky Boots,” will choreograph. And Harvey Fierstein, who won a Tony playing “Hairspray” on Broadway, will write the teleplay.

The musical adaptation of John Waters’ 1988 cult film will air Dec. 7.

NBC has made something of a cottage industry with live musicals, including “The Sound of Music,” “Peter Pan” and “The Wiz.” Fox jumped in with its recent “Grease: Live!” and ABC plans a TV movie of the big-screen film “Dirty Dancing.”

Jenner regrets not telling father about gender ID

PHILADELPHIA – Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner said not telling her father the truth about her gender identity “will always haunt me.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Jenner said she also was unsure how her mother would react to her transition from a man to a woman. But she said her mother has since become her “best ally,” even if she sometimes calls her Bruce.

Jenner spoke before a sold-out crowd at the University of Pennsylvania Wednesday about her struggle with gender dysphoria.

She discussed her relationships with her ex-wives and children and said she contemplated suicide when news she was considering trachea surgery surfaced. But she broke into tears, saying her biggest regret was not being truthful with her now-deceased father.

NY court hears case over hospital TV show death

ALBANY, N.Y. – A widow urged New York’s highest court Thursday to reinstate a lawsuit involving a television episode featuring her husband’s treatment and death at a New York hospital.

The “NY Med” show included a segment about Mark Chanko, who was brought into the emergency room at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in April 2011 after he was hit by a truck while crossing a street near his home on the Upper East Side. Although unidentified with his image blurred, Chanko could be heard, at one point asking, “Did you speak to my wife?”

Anita Chanko, who learned of the filming when it was broadcast in 2012, sued the hospital, treating physician and American Broadcasting Companies for violation of patient privacy and intention-

al infliction of emotional distress.

Her attorney, Norman Olch, argued before the Court of Appeals that the broadcasters didn’t have family permission to film, and there were cameras in the operating room. The conduct “shocks the sense of decency and propriety,” he said.

“ABC is right in there, working with the physicians, working with the doctors, to breach this person’s confidential relationship with the doctor,” Olch said.

ABC’s lawyer Nathan Siegel said the network tried not to reveal Chanko’s identity, and when that didn’t work, immediately corrected it with deletions.

‘Blade Runner’ sequel slated for January 2018

NEW YORK – The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” now has a release date. Alcon Entertainment announced Thursday that it will be land in theaters on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in January 2018.

“Sicario” director Denis Villeneuve is taking over for Scott in the sequel to his 1982 science-fiction classic. It will star Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Rick Deckard.

Alcon, which is producing the film, said it takes place several decades after the conclusion to the original “Blade Runner.”

Roger Deakins, who has previously worked with Villeneuve on “Prisoners” and “Sicario,” will serve as cinematographer.

Amazon adds Woody Allen film to acquisitions

NEW YORK – Amazon has acquired Woody Allen’s latest movie, adding one of film’s biggest names to its growing slate of original titles.

Amazon said Thursday that it will distribute Allen’s currently untitled film in a traditional theatrical release in North America this summer, followed by a streaming release through its subscription service, Amazon Prime. The film is a romantic comedy set in the 1930s that was shot last summer in New York and Los Angeles. It stars Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell and Parker Posey.

The deal also extends Amazon’s relationship with Allen, who is prepping a six-episode TV series for the online retailer. That series, to star Elaine May and Miley Cyrus, is to start shooting in March.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A white Missouri police officer has been placed on unpaid leave after he appeared in a racially charged music video wearing his uniform and carrying a sign reading “cops lives matter.”

St. Joseph patrolman Zackary Craft also is seen reaching for his gun in the video for “Before This Bomb Blows Up (Racism Goes Both Ways)” by Josh Smith, a white rapper from the Kansas City suburb of Independence who performs as J.Smitty.

The sign is a reference to the “Black Lives Matter” movement that has focused attention on the killing of blacks by police.

“The department in no way condones the video in its entirety,” said police spokesman Capt. Jeff Wilson.

He said Craft is on leave pending a due process hearing but declined to say when the hearing would take place or how the video came to the department’s attention.

Smith said he took down the video when Craft was suspended last week but reposted it Thursday with Craft’s face blurred.

Craft’s attorney, Morgan Roach, said

in a statement that Craft allowed himself to be filmed “without knowing the words, content, or context” and was “appalled” when he saw the video.

“He whole-heartedly rejects the song, the music video, and the misguided message in its entirety,” Roach wrote. He said Craft is not doing interviews.

“Just because you have a space that a kid can sleep in, that’s not going to be enough,” he said. “You need some common living and breathing and moving space. It shouldn’t be a jigsaw game of Jenga to be able to sit down.”

In addition to having a roomy common area, Diedricksen suggests thinking about privacy, including isolating adults’ sleeping space and insulating interior walls so everyone can get some peace and quiet. Other tips when designing a tiny family home: Don’t skimp on windows – they make a small space feel less claustrophobic – and plan for storage, including offsite space if necessary. Diedricksen recommends storage sheds, which can double as offices or even playrooms in a pinch.

As kids grow, tiny houses can become especially challenging, so some families add separate dwellings for teenagers. Tiny-house designers Andrew and Gabriella Morrison built their 15-year-old daughter a 120-squarefoot cabin and their 19-year-old son a 160-square-foot treehouse near the family’s home.

“If parents have a good, open relaAP photo tionship with their teens and teens are Jessica Baird (left), and her brother, Evan, relax in the living room of their family’s making good choices, it’s OK to create 440-square-foot cabin on wheels in Myrtle Beach, S.C. a separate sleeping space for teenag-

ers where they can be and have their friends over and give the parents privacy too,” Gabriella Morrison said.

The couple, who run the website tinyhousebuild.com, live in the modern 207-square-foot house on wheels they designed in Ashland, Oregon. They warn that while living small is rewarding, families used to a larger home should prepare for an initial adjustment – and shouldn’t panic when things get tough.

“There is going to be a period where it’s super uncomfortable,” Gabriella Morrison said. “With perseverance and patience and kindness and willingness to change, that dynamic can change so quickly. The beauty of tiny house living is that it’s almost impossible to avoid each other, and the family’s really going to be forced to listen to each other.

You can’t just escape to your bedroom that’s hundreds of feet away.”

The Morrisons say small-scale living also has helped them work less and travel more.

Better communication is a benefit the Bairds said they already recognize from their family’s year in the cabin.

“Part of the discussion is why we don’t want all the stuff – the resources being used and the whole process of consumption and where our things come from,” Laura Baird said. We point out, ‘it only took two hours to clean this house, isn’t that great?’ ”

A grant writer in the Long Island town of Mineola and father of a 3-year-old son and 6-month-old twin boys allow parents to defer up to $2,000 of their taxes a year to help defray the costs of child care. The taxes still would have to be paid once the child is of school age, but parents would have 10 years to pay the full amount, and no interest would be added.

There would be no income eligibility requirements under the proposal, which would cover traditional day care as well as in-home services such as nannies or baby sitters.

“I’m a parent myself, and we’ve experienced this. We hear about it from family and friends,” said Squadron, who has two children, ages 4 and 2. “Child care is a necessity, and we need to find ways to help people spread out the cost.”

The bill, which so far has no opposition, is one of several measures

offered this year that attempt to help new parents. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Democrats in the Assembly and the Senate have offered different proposals to authorize up to 12 weeks of paid family leave to workers caring for a new child or a sick relative.

Child Care Aware, a Washington-based child care advocacy organization, ranks New York as one of the nation’s most expensive states for child care, with the average annual cost between $10,000 and $14,000.

That’s more than the cost of a year’s in-state tuition at a state college.

Already, the state subsidizes the cost of child care for 123,000 lower-income families, serving more than 200,000 children. And the federal government also offers a tax credit for child-care costs, mostly for those with

How it works A bill introduced in Albany, New York, last week would allow parents to defer up to $2,000 of their taxes a year to help defray the costs of child care. The taxes still would have to be paid once the child is of school age, but parents would have 10 years to pay the full amount, and no interest would be added.

There would be no income eligibility requirements under the proposal, which would cover traditional day care as well as in-home services such as nannies or baby sitters.

low incomes.

But officials in New York say they’re not aware of any state using tax deferrals to reduce the burden of paying for child care.

“A lot of parents are paying $200 per week for child care, so it can be a big expense,” said Andrea Anthony, executive director of the New York City-based Day Care Council of New York. “It’s an innovative way of helping parents.”

ALBANY, N.Y. – New York may allow the parents of young children to defer a piece of their state income taxes to help cover the cost of child care.

The novel proposal, introduced as legislation last week in Albany, is intended to address an expense that challenges nearly every family budget but gets far less attention than saving for college or retirement.

“Child care, next to the mortgage, is the biggest expense we have,” said Tom Devaney, a grant writer in the Long Island town of Mineola. He and his wife have a 3-year-old son and 6-month-old twin boys. “Anything that can bring down the cost – even a little – is going to help a lot of families.”

Child care in New York costs more than $10,000 a year on average, rivaling the cost of housing as the largest financial burden on the parents of young children. And compared with other big expenses such as housing, health care or higher education, government does relatively little to help.

The proposal, from state Sen. Daniel Squadron, D-Brooklyn, would

Colleges and prospective employers have been known to scour the Internet looking for these kinds of postings when interviewing students and job seekers. What might seem like innocent fun now could cause her big headaches a few years down the line, and your daughter needs to know it.

Dear Abby: I work the front desk at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere. I love my job. My boss and co-workers are amazing, and we are like a big family.

Recently, while I was working the graveyard shift, I was held up at gunpoint and robbed. Going to work still scares me, and I’m anxious the entire time.

Dear Abby: My 16-year-old perfect kid came to us, very adult-like, saying it was time for her to go on the pill. We knew she had a boyfriend, but didn’t realize it was this serious.

Despite my initial impulse to kill him and stick my daughter in a convent, we discussed it as a family and agreed she would see a gynecologist. She also had a long talk with her mother about sex, and with me a few days later. When I sat down alone with her she was embarrassed, but I don’t care – I’m her father.

Fast forward to last week: She left her iPad in the living room, and while I was using it, up popped explicit pictures of her not only with her boyfriend, but with other guys and girls. Her mother and I talked about how to handle this. I suggested therapy and pulling her from school. My wife disagreed. She accused me of violating our daughter’s personal property and said it’s none of my business.

I might be old-fashioned, but my daughter, whom I love more than life, needs to know this is not OK. She’s still a child despite looking like an adult, and as a child, she needs guidance. Am I wrong?

Women can’t drink as much as men Dear Dr. K: Can you explain why “moderate” drinking is defined differently for men and women? Is it because men tend to be heavier? Or is there more to it?

Dear Reader: Women are advised to drink less alcohol than men because they are much more vulnerable to alcohol’s harmful effects.

For example, research has found if a woman has more than one drink a day, she increases her risk of car accidents and other traumatic injuries. Her risk of high blood pressure, stroke, suicide and breast cancer goes up. And drinking more than one drink a day also increases the risk she will go on to abuse or become dependent on alcohol.

Women also tend to advance from their first drink to their first alcohol-related problem to the need for treatment more quickly than men.

Why are women more sensitive than men to the effects of alcohol? There are two main biological explanations. The first involves an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). ADH breaks down alcohol, first in the stomach and then in the liver. Women have considerably less ADH in their stomach linings than men.

That means more alcohol leaves their stomach and is absorbed into their blood.

As a result, one drink for a woman has about twice the effect as one for a man.

Second, pound for pound, a woman’s body contains less water and more fatty tissue than a man’s. Water dilutes alcohol in the blood; fat retains it. So alcohol remains at higher concentrations for longer periods of time in a woman’s body.

This exposes her brain and other organs to more alcohol.

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Together, the increased absorption of alcohol into the blood plus lower total body water explains why women may become intoxicated more easily than men. These factors also suggest why women are more likely to suffer adverse consequences after drinking less and for fewer years than men.

Most health professionals recommend no more than one drink a day for women and no more than two drinks a day for men. One standard drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.

For pregnant women, as a report recently released by the American Academy of Pediatrics confirmed, no amount of alcohol is safe.

Although it generally is true women tolerate alcohol less well than men, I can say from my own experience there are plenty of exceptions to this “rule.” I’ve known women who could drink most men under the table. My guess is they inherited an unusually efficient ADH enzyme. As a result, they rapidly break down alcohol in their stomach, and less alcohol gets into the blood. With less alcohol in the blood, there’s less that travels to the brain.

And I’ve known some men who get pretty silly after the first few sips. Although in several cases, it would be more accurate to say they get sillier than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take responsibility and do what has to be done before you move on to more entertaining pastimes. Love and romance will light up the end of your day.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do something that will help you stand out or bring you greater recognition. Money will come to you if you negotiate creatively. Don’t set your price too high or too low.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Pay more attention to what’s going on in your own backyard. Be willing to compromise to avoid emotional situations that can have a detrimental effect on a relationship with a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll be drawn to people who are not good for you. Don’t make promises. Make a point to socialize with people who have as much to offer you as you do them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Be careful how you react to what others say and do. You are likely to misinterpret what someone is telling you. Don’t get wrapped up in emotional situations that are detrimental to your well-being.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stand up for your beliefs. If someone opposes you, walk away. You are better off accomplishing what you can and allowing others the freedom to do as they please.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be creative with the way you handle your money. Strive to save, not spend. Look for reasonable ways to celebrate or to be entertained. Romance doesn’t have to be costly.

Satchel Paige, who was arguably the first great African-American baseball pitcher, said, “Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.”

When you dance, you can go slowly -- perhaps doing a fox trot.

Or you can move quickly -- maybe performing a fandango.

It is often similar at the bridge table. Should defenders fight actively for tricks, or should they sit back and wait for declarer to furnish them with winners?

Defenders should listen to the bidding. Does it sound like the opponents are strong, perhaps stopping in game after a couple of slam-tries?

If so, try to win tricks quickly. Or did they squeeze every last drop out of the cards, perhaps bidding one spade-two spades-three spades-four spades-pass? Then, defend passively.

In addition, take the dummy into account. If it is balanced, there is usually no hurry to cash winners. But if it is unbalanced, threatening to give declarer discards on a good side suit and ruffs, speed is of the essence for the defense. Into which category does today’s deal fall?

If I had been North, I would have raised to three no-trump with that strong doubleton, but that contract would have failed also.

Against four spades, West leads a diamond and East takes dummy’s queen with his king. What next?

With such a balanced dummy, East should go passive, returning a diamond to get the entry off the board (or switch to a trump). Now the contract must fail. An active club shift by East backfires if South plays low from his hand.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A BELVIDERE NORTH REGIONAL

Barreto finds her range

Senior’s 3s help Huntley win 4th straight regional

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com BELVIDERE – Huntley’s Kayla Barreto wasn’t feeling all together before her team’s Class 4A Belvidere North Regional girls basketball championship against Rockford Auburn.

The four-year varsity player finished with seven 3-pointers in Thursday’s IHSA 3-point shootout, but not enough to advance to next week’s sectional round. Teammates Kayla Barreto Ali Andrews and Paige Renkosik did.

“On the last rack, I don’t know where my head was at,” Barreto said and shrugged. “I don’t know … not good.”

Once the game started, Barreto felt like herself again.

With the Knights focusing their attention on Illinois signee Andrews, Barreto made Auburn pay by hitting three 3s in the opening six minutes. Barreto’s hot start, coupled with another solid defensive effort, gave the Red Raiders a commanding lead as top-seeded Huntley rolled to a 66-40 victory.

Huntley (28-3) advances to Tuesday’s DeKalb Sectional semifinals, where the Red Raiders will face the winner of Friday’s McHenry Regional final between Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge.

“I came out and just forgot about it, because it’s just a contest. I’m in it for the team,” said Barreto, who leads Huntley with 40 3s. “They were on Ali like glue, so I had to hit my shots in order for other things to open up. I stepped up and knocked them down.”

Andrews, who finished with a gamehigh 27 points and hit all 14 of her free throws in the win, and Barreto have been a part of Huntley’s past four regional championships. In all, the Raiders have won eight regional titles in the past 10 seasons. Huntley also owns two sectional titles in the past three seasons.

“It never gets old,” said Andrews, who added eight rebounds and two blocks. “Winning a regional title is one of the biggest accomplishments. It’s surreal just being here, especially being here with Kayla for the last four. Everybody’s worked so hard in the program.”

ful coaches, we are confident that he has both the football knowledge and leadership skills to help us continue to grow into a top program.”

Zimolzak did not return calls from the Northwest Herald on Thursday night. He teaches advanced placement physics at Fremd High School in Palatine. He and his wife, Erica, have two children, Connor and Kara, and live in Huntley.

“I don’t feel like too many changes will come to the program,” junior defensive end Olalere Oladipo said.

“I like the way we handled things last year, so with a coach that was already in the program becoming a head coach, I feel like it’s great. Coach Zim is smart, and he’s a good person. He knows his football, he’s dedicated to football.”

Zimolzak’s defense helped the Raiders to their first Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship last season. The Raiders, who tied their

school record at 10-1, have four starters headed to play at NCAA scholarship schools.

“He’s very well-respected by the players and the community,” said sophomore Eric Mooney, who likely will be the Raiders’ quarterback next season. “It was the best thing for our team from the standpoint that we didn’t want to change everything. We were right on track with Coach Hart and his way, and with our defensive coordinator becoming the head coach, he’s not going to change much. It was an awesome move by our AD to hire him as head coach.”

According to a bio on Huntley’s football website, Zimolzak, 43, played high school football at Savanna High in Anaheim, California, and then at NCAA Division III Beloit College. He coached for 17 years at Fremd under Illinois High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame coach Mike Donatucci.

We’ve had some great kids and great teams over the years and this is a fun group to coach. I’m just really proud of them and happy for them.”

Barreto, who wore the cut-down game net on her shoulders after the game, was at a loss for words.

“It feels really good. I don’t even know what else to say,” she said. “I’m happy. I’m glad I’ve been a part of it, but we want to keep it going.”

Down by 13, Whips rally to make it close

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com BELVIDERE – Just two minutes into Thursday night’s regional final against Rockford Boylan, Hampshire forward Emma Benoit headed for the bench after committing her second foul.

The team’s leading scorer then sat out the rest of the first quarter, but Whip-Purs coach Mike Featherly didn’t panic. His team even held a one-point lead after one.

“We weathered that storm,” Featherly said. “We were only down nine at half, and we’ll take that. We’ve been a team that’s been down early, but never been out.”

The No. 3-seeded Whip-Purs (20-9), once down by 13 in the second half, showed they were never done fighting, climbing to within three with a late rally. However, the Titans went 8 for 11 at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and edged out Hampshire, 58-55, in the Class 3A Belvidere Regional at Belvidere High School.

Offensively, the Dumoulin sisters combined for a trio of early 3s and helped the Whip-Purs outscore their opponents, 17-16, heading into the second.

“We knew they were going to be all over Emma tonight and we knew they were gonna take it to her,” said Rachel Dumoulin, who had 14 points.

The Whip-Purs made another run in the third after Heine rattled off six consecutive points to cut the deficit to six, but the Titans held a 46-41 edge after three.

“I don’t think we ever had a thought that we couldn’t come back,” Benoit said. “… We always focused on coming to practice and getting better, and we did. [This season] we became such a strong team.”

Despite narrowing the gap to three with minutes left in the fourth, the Titans iced the game at the free-throw line, going 6 for 7 in the final two.

If Huntley’s football players could have picked their new head coach, they would have taken one of their own, a respected member of the coaching staff from a team that was 18-3 over the past two seasons.

Huntley athletic director Chris Rozanski and the administration shared similar sentiments of the players, which led to defensive coordinator Matt Zimolzak, a four-year Red Raiders assistant coach, being named as

head coach.

Zimolzak’s hiring became official Thursday night at the District 158 school board meeting. He joined former coach John Hart’s staff in 2012 as offensive line coach, then worked as defensive coordinator the past three seasons.

Huntley was 28-12 in Hart’s four seasons.

He left the school at Matt Zimolzak the semester to take the head football coaching position and a teaching job at Brownsburg High School near Indianapolis.

“Coach Zimolzak quickly surfaced to the top of our list,” Rozanski said in a news release. “His familiarity with and commitment to the community, school, and football program helped separate him from other applicants.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A CARMEL REGIONAL

Nerves? No need for Johnsburg Skyhawks rout Carmel in final

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com MUNDELEIN – The nerves built in Johnsburg junior guard Cortland Sommerfeldt throughout the school day Thursday as she anticipated the Skyhawks’ Class 3A Carmel Regional championship game with the host Corsairs.

By eighth period, her math class was reviewing for a trigonometry test. They studied up on sine, cosine and tangents.

But Sommerfeldt lay on the classroom floor, shooting a ball up and down, thinking about 2-3 zones and jump shots and rebounds.

“I had the jitters all day,” Sommerfeldt said.

Hours later, Sommerfeldt clutched sweaty palms with her teammates on the bench. Those nerves had long vanished and been replaced with different emotions by the time they watched the final seconds tick off the clock.

As it turned out, the Johnsburg bas-

With a stifling defense, a balanced offense and a commitment to rebounding, the Skyhawks routed Carmel, 49-22, to win the Class 3A Carmel Regional title.

“The last couple practices, we said we want to make our mark and get a banner,” said sophomore guard Aannah Interrante, who led the Skyhawks with 21 points.

The regional championship is the

10th in Johnsburg girls basketball history. It’s the first since coach Mike Toussaint won seven in a row from 2004-05 to 2010-11, and it’s the first under coach Brad Frey.

“I was always hoping it was going to happen at least once,” Frey said. “I’m so proud of these girls. They did exactly what they were supposed to do. They played as a team. They had fun. I’ve never seen a team that likes each other so much, and I think that helps. And they do what’s right all the time.”

Johnsburg (26-3) typically pulls past opponents by outshooting them. Although that also happened Thursday, it was the Skyhawks’ defense that stood out even more.

Using primarily a 2-3 zone, the Skyhawks held Carmel scoreless for the first 5:10 of the game. They forced Carmel

into 18 turnovers and didn’t allowed the Corsairs to break double figures until there was just 6:35 remaining.

By halftime, Johnsburg had built a 26-6 lead. After three quarters, the Skyhawks led, 36-9.

“I was shocked when I looked up at halftime and they had six points,” Frey said. “We haven’t done that against anybody all year, and Carmel is a really good team. Our defense was outstanding.”

In addition to its defense, Johnsburg controlled the boards, pulling down 37 rebounds to Carmel’s 23. Senior center Jazza Johns, who scored eight points, led the Skyhawks with 10 rebounds.

Kayla Stefka grabbed nine rebounds and scored seven points.

“I just knew I had to go after it,” Johns said. “I did it for my team. We wanted this. It was our game. We made them play our game.”

Johnsburg advances to Tuesday’s 7:30 p.m. St. Viator Sectional semifinal.

The Skyhawks will face Chicago Resurrection, a 53-43 winner over Wauconda in the Senn Regional.

“We’ve got to still go on,” Stefka said.

“We’ve got sectionals next week. We need to keep working hard. We’re not done yet.”

Grant and D-C played in December in a game that went to overtime, which Grant eventually won. Miller expected another close game this time.

“Give credit to Grant. Anytime it seemed like we might pull away, they answered and stayed close the entire game,” Miller said. “I was impressed with how we battled tonight and the leadership we had on the floor.”

Anytime D-C (14-17) needed a basket, the Chargers’ lone senior was there for the answer. Melissa Barker hit four 3-pointers that all seemed to fall when D-C needed them most.

“This game was really important to me since each game could be my last,” Barker said. “We really came together tonight and played as a team.”

D-C was able to jump out to an eight-point third-quarter lead, but Grant fought back in the second half whenever it looked as if the Chargers would pull away. The Chargers’ Paige Gieseke hit some key shots and, after picking up her fourth foul in the third quarter, had to make sure she was able to stay in the game.

“I had to keep just playing my game but make sure I didn’t pick up a foul,” Gieseke said. “We knew what Grant’s game plan was, and we did a good job stopping them. This is a really important win for us. We want to keep playing.”

Grant had its chance with seven seconds left down by a point, but missed both free throws and Gieseke was able to increase the lead from the foul line. D-C was led by Gieseke with 13 points and Barker with 12.

Prairie Ridge’s Nikki Baars (37.925) was close.

Prairie Ridge coach Lee Battaglia is confident in Solka at the state meet.

“She’ll do a little better at state,” Battaglia said after last week’s Schaumburg Sectional. “She thrives to compete. She’ll be even higher at state. With bars, it definitely comes down to the Gienger. The one thing is the risks she takes, but she’s a tough gymnast, she’ll hit it.”

Prairie Ridge’s team is so deep it has six competitors – Solka, Baars, Kendall Rumford, Liz Sysol, Maddy Kim and Kira Karlblom – who qualified in individual events.

The Wolves scored 149.55 to win the Schaumburg Sectional last Monday.

The next-highest scores out of sectionals were DeKalb (147.525), Carmel (146.275) and Glenbard West (146.175).

After the sectional meet, Battaglia informed the Wolves they had more left.

“He was pretty funny about it,” Rumford said. “He said, ‘Today, I rank you guys A-minus, I feel like you can get to A-plus at state.’ I believe it. We have some things to improve on. We’ll go into the gym and see what happens.”

Prairie Ridge co-op senior gymnast Maddie Solka more or less has a love/ hate relationship with the Gienger.

It is one of the most difficult and impressive skills performed in high school uneven bars competition. The gymnast starts with a handspring on the high bar, swings down and on the way up releases the bar, does a back flip with a half-twist, then recatches the bar.

If the timing is not perfect, the gymnast falls, front-first, to the mat below.

“Ugh!” Solka said, when asked about the Gienger. “If you think you’re going to fall, you will. You have to be really aggressive, otherwise you’re gone.”

Solka will be one of the contenders to win the all-around at the IHSA Gymnastics State Meet on Friday and Saturday at Palatine High School. The meet starts at 5:05 p.m. Friday with qualifying in each of the four events and the all-around state champion determined.

At 5:45 p.m. Saturday, the top 10 individuals from Friday’s preliminaries compete in each of the four events finals.

Team scores also may increase during the finals.

Solka knows her all-around outcome likely will be determined by a couple of difficult skills, the Gienger on bars and the flip-flop layout on the balance beam (a back handspring followed by a back flip in layout position).

When gymnasts miss on the Gienger, the crowd always reacts because it looks painful when they fall to the mat.

The physical pain is not that bad, Solka says.

“You’re more mad that you didn’t catch the bar,” she said. “It’s kind of like, ‘I was up there and now I’m down here.’ It’s not the best feeling. If you let go a little early you’re going to be far, and you’ll fall. ... You have to commit and go.”

Solka wants to repeat what former teammate Rachael Underwood accomplished a year ago, taking the allaround title while leading the Wolves to the team state championship. Prairie Ridge’s co-op team – which draws athletes from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge – is the decided team favorite.

Inside Boys Swimming ATHLETE OF THE WEEK TREY SCHOPEN McHenry, sr.

Schopen was the only swimmer to win two individual races at the Fox Valley Conference Championships: the 200-yard freestyle (1:43.41) and 100 butterfly (51.28). Both times were under the state qualifying standards, and the 200 freestyle swim broke a conference meet record from 2014 (1:43.92).

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Cary-Grove co-op: The Trojans captured their ninth consecutive FVC championship Saturday with three individual wins and three relay victories. Cooper Langanis, Nick Jasinski and Ethan Hare each won an individual race, with Langanis and Jasinski breaking conference records in the process.

2. McHenry: The Warriors couldn’t dethrone the Trojans, finishing second 68 points back, but had an excellent conference championship meet. Schopen and Kevin Braun were named co-MVPs of the conference while each won individual events and set meet records. In addition to Schopen’s two wins, Braun won the 100 freestyle with a time of 47 seconds, toppling a record from 2006.

3. Jacobs co-op: Hampshire’s Harold Ogaban was named the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in recognition of a strong freshman season and he added to it by taking home the Golden Eagles’ lone victory at the conference championships. Ogaban won the 100 breaststroke in 1:04.32 and finished second in the 100 IM. 4. Huntley: The Red Raiders finished fourth at the conference meet, led by fourth-place finishes in all three of the relays.

5. Woodstock co-op: The host Thunder finished fifth at the conference champion-

NOTEWORTHY Langanis locking in: Although Cooper Langanis has added sprint speed this season, his background has always been in distance.

At the conference meet, the Cary-Grove co-op senior won the 500 freestyle, an event he swam at state last season, with a time that was a half second under the state qualifying standard.

“The 500 was awesome,” Langanis said. “It was nice to get out in front, swim my own race and get a good time.”

Schopen finds pace: A week after worrying whether back injuries could keep his senior from returning to state, McHenry coach Craig Fowles saw his fears assuaged. Schopen swam state times in both of his primary events as he won both of them. “Trey finally, finally, after a whole season, turned it on and was something I knew he could do all along,” Fowles said. “When he’s healthy, he goes.”

CHAMPAIGN – New Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman said Thursday he wants to restore what he believes is the lost identity of the school’s sports teams.

And after a painful year of firings and turmoil in the administration in and outside of sports, Whitman told a room packed with fans and athletics staff that he wants to do something Illini teams have sometimes struggled to do.

Josh Whitman “We will win, it’s important,” the 37-year-old former Illinois and NFL football player said during his introductory news conference on campus. “That’s what everybody’s thirsty for. We don’t get in this to come in second place.”

The football team has endured four straight losing seasons, and the basketball team is on the verge of missing the NCAA Tournament a third straight year, something that hasn’t happened since 1978-80.

But the 37-year-old Whitman, who said he hopes the Illinois AD position is the last job he ever has, faces those larger issues, too.

Football coach Tim Beckman was fired in August after a law firm hired by the university concluded he interfered in player medical decisions. A lawsuit filed by seven former women’s basketball players accusing coach Matt Bollant and some staff of creating a racially hostile environment is still working its way through federal court. All of that was followed by the firing in November of the last AD, Mike Thomas.

Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said Thursday she believed from her initial interview with him that Whitman, who has been AD only at a pair of Division III schools, Washington University and Wisconsin-La Crosse, was the man for the job.

“I was looking at the next AD right there,” Wilson said. “He just is an impressive person.”

Whitman’s contract will run five years, paying him $600,000 a year in base salary, Wilson said. Bonuses and other compensation are still being worked out.

Whitman was a starting tight end for Illinois from 1997 to 2000.

CAVALIERS 106, BULLS 95

Record slips to 1 game above .500 with loss

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

The Cavaliers’ Kevin Love drives on the Bulls’ Mike Dunleavy in the first half Thursday in Cleveland. The Bulls lost, 106-95.

Again, just so 27-26 Bulls.

“Well yeah, absolutely we do,” firstyear coach Fred Hoiberg said, when asked whether standing pat has now put even more pressure on him and his staff righting the ship. “Everyone in our locker room knows that. We got to go out there and have our best stretch.

“Looking back on our season, the early part of January we got 10 games above .500. We were 22-12. We’ve got to get back to playing the basketball that led to that stretch, including that six-game winning streak. I know our guys in there believe.

Obviously, getting healthy is a big part of it. But yeah, we need to be together for the rest of the season.”

The front office made sure they would be – for better or worse.

While multiple NBA sources said the Bulls were actively taking calls on Taj Gibson and Pau Gasol, their asking prices on both were said to be unrealistic. One source pointed out the biggest hurdle was while there might have been deals that helped the team down the road, there was no deal that improved them this season. Especially one that in-

BULLS NOTES

Forman says Bulls want Gasol beyond this season

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – The Bulls want to keep Pau Gasol in a Bulls uniform beyond this season.

General manager Gar Forman made that clear to reporters Thursday after the trade deadline passed with Gasol staying put.

The problem is the organization only has 29 regular-season games left to make sure the feeling is mutual.

The 35-year-old Gasol again reiterated he will exercise his player option this offseason, opting out to become a free agent, and while the Bulls were the front-runners to retain his services the veteran had no problem admitting this organization is on trial from here on out.

“How these [29 regular-season] games play out will give me information of how I want to … or how my decision will be influenced for sure,” Gasol said.

“How we handle this situation and if we’re able to overcome it, get more together and united and stronger or we give up or are content with it. Because Pau Gasol that tells a lot, it tells you a lot about the character of a team and the people you are around with.”

And not just his teammates.

Gasol will be judging everything.

From moves the front office makes this summer when the payroll goes up, all the way to what he continues to see from first-year coach Fred Hoiberg.

“Some, a little, but some,” Gasol responded, when asked whether the coaching change from Tom Thibodeau to Hoiberg would factor into his decision. “I think the coaching position is an important position. I’ve played for many coaches, I’ve been through many coaching changes throughout my career, and I knew this season was going to be a little of a transition, adjusting to the new philosophy, which is pretty different from what we had last year.

“So that was going to have an impact, but I couldn’t control that impact.

Again, it was out of my control. So you have to keep that in mind, but I don’t think that will be a downside in this situation.”

The way Gasol sees it is there was still unfinished business with the Bulls, and although he is loyal to that

idea, he won’t be handcuffed to it.

“Things really haven’t turned out the way I wanted them to,” Gasol said.

“But at the same time, there are things that I couldn’t anticipate. All I can do is continue to give my best.

“And I do still believe we can still turn this thing around a little bit or a lot and put ourselves in a good position. Whatever happens this summer, I don’t know. Then it will be more of a process of evaluation wherever I am to make the best decision for the last few years of my career.”

Hinrich traded: The Bulls received a second-round pick from the Utah Jazz and guard Justin Holliday from the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team trade that sent Kirk Hinrich from the Bulls to Atlanta. The Jazz acquired point guard Shelvin Mack from Atlanta.

CLEVELAND – Thursday was just so Bulls.

Use the cover of numerous trade rumors to disguise an uneasiness to actually pull off a major deal, and then quietly sneak out of the back door once the afternoon deadline came and went, insisting this was “not the time to panic,” as general manager Gar Forman told reporters.

It didn’t stop there, however. It rarely does with this franchise.

They did pull off a minor move to make them more luxury-tax friendly, trading Kirk Hinrich to Atlanta to get back a 2018 second-round pick from Utah, as well as Justin Holiday and another $2.5 million off their tax hit, so there was that to not be excited about.

And then how did the new-look, oldlook, standing-pat Bulls finish off the evening? Going out and getting steamrolled by the first-place Cleveland Cavaliers, 106-95, at the Quicken Loans Arena for their fifth-consecutive loss.

volved moving Gasol.

If they moved Gasol and then fell short of making the playoffs after firing a coach in Tom Thibodeau who made the playoffs every season he was in that chair …

“It would have been a real PR nightmare for [Forman and John Paxson],” the source said.

In taking the safe way out, the front office can at least hope for a first-round playoff series with Gasol intact, and spin it as a season of injuries and growing pains under a new system. That’s much easier for a fan base to digest than the truth of sabotaging Thibodeau last season, and there being a carryover effect throughout this year.

Then again, if they play like they did against the Cavaliers on Thursday night, well, Gasol or not, they still might not see the postseason.

Even without Jimmy Butler (left knee) and Nikola Mirotic (appendicitis and hematoma), the Bulls found themselves only down 48-42 at the half, thanks to 18 points from Derrick Rose. Then they made the mistake of waking the sleeping giant up, as Taj Gibson and J.R. Smith got into a shoving match with just under 10 minutes left in the third, leading to a 7-2 Cavs run and a 17-point hole too deep to climb out of.

“We just gotta stay together,” Rose, who finished with 28 points, said of the latest loss. “Through the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s the ugly right now. We know the only place we can go is up.”

10 BLACKHAWKS

Obama welcomes Hawks a 3rd time

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – A couple of weeks ago, Blackhawks backup goaltender Scott Darling ran into a man – a total stranger – in Scottsdale, Arizona, asking for money. Instead, Darling put him up in a hotel for a month to help him get back on his feet. Darling didn’t tell the team about it. Didn’t tell reporters.

Didn’t tell anyone but his fiancée.

But word got out through an Uber driver and a beer-league hockey player, who posted the tale on Twitter. On Thursday, the president of the United States told the story in the East Room of the White House, with Darling – just some kid out of Lemont a little more than a year ago – standing mere feet away.

“Scott, I suspect, recognized some of his own struggles in the past,” President Barack Obama said, alluding to Darling’s early career struggles with alcohol. “A champion reached out to somebody who could use a hand. He didn’t have to. Even though nobody was looking. Even though he wasn’t asking anybody for credit. I’d like to think that reflects something about our city, about Chicago. It’s a very American thing to do.”

The Hawks’ third White House visit in six years allowed Obama to skip past the usual suspects – Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Corey Crawford and others who already have had their moment in the spotlight.

Obama instead singled out Darling for his act of kindness, and Kimmo Timonen, who came for the celebration, for his perseverance.

“His final NHL game, at the age of 40, Kimmo finally hoisted the Cup,” Obama said. “As an old guy, it makes me feel good.”

As he was the past two times, Obama was affable, funny and eager to take credit for the Hawks’ success.

“Before I was president, the Blackhawks had gone almost half a century without seeing [the Stanley Cup],” Obama said. “Now, you’ve got the hat trick. So I think it’s pretty clear the kind of luck I brought to this team. And we’ve got a state dinner with Canada coming up, so we may just leave it right in the middle of the room.”

Toews said he’d have to let the dig on his native country’s struggles “slide,” adding, “I don’t know if I can really make a comeback to that one there.”

The president cracked that director

President Barack Obama holds up a parking pass that was presented to him Thursday by Rocky Wirtz, chairman of the Blackhawks, during a ceremony to honor the 2015 Stanley Cup champions in the East Room of the White House in Washington. of scouting Mark Kelley offered to help pick a Supreme Court nominee and noted that a mustache was clearly the key to success for Chicago coaches. He also was presented with a permanent United Center parking pass by Hawks owner Rocky Wirtz, which appeared to catch Obama off guard: “This is the best gift I’ve ever gotten at the White House. This is really cool. I might sell this on eBay.” Obama has never pretended to be much of a hockey fan, and he’s never been to a Hawks game. Team president John McDonough said it won’t happen during Obama’s presidency, but that he hopes to welcome him to a game once he leaves office.

The White House visit, combined with Sunday’s outdoor game in Minneapolis, could be seen as distractions as the Hawks make their playoff push.

Instead, the unusual events are a way to break up the monotony of a grueling season, a reward of sorts.

“It is definitely nice to just have something to really look forward to like that,” New Jersey native Trevor van Riemsdyk said. “It’s a pretty rare thing, and you feel lucky to be able to do it.”

Well, not too rare. Not for the Hawks, at least.

“It’d be nice to squeeze one more in there before I leave,” Obama said. “Because then I definitely will take credit.”
