Good morning, McHenry County ...

Addressing some of your feedback Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We asked for feedback on the new-look Northwest Herald, and our dedicated readers delivered.

A number of you either emailed, called or took to social media to provide your thoughts on the new format. We received a diversity of thoughts. Some of you liked it. Some of you didn’t. We expected that, and we thank you for taking the time to weigh in – good or bad. Your response confirms how important the newspaper is in your life. Let me address a few of the concerns we heard.

First, we have not changed the font or the font size on the stories we publish. The print size on the sports agate page also did not change, and the print size on classified ads also did not change.

SAGE TO BE ACQUIRED

GROUNDHOG DAY

Michigan-based medical device maker Stryker Corporation agreed to acquire Sage Products in Cary for $2.78 billion. Sage, which also manufacturers medical devices, will maintain its Cary headquarters and executive team once the deal is finalized later this spring. Sage is a major business in McHenry County, employing more than 700 area residents. Story, Page 4.

Woodstock Willie will emerge from his tree trunk this morning on the Woodstock Square to make his annual prognostication. The main event for Woodstock’s weeklong Groundhog Days happens at 7:07 a.m. If Willie sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. No shadow?

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one-half of part two of our Absent Voters series.

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com

If a sales tax referendum on the March 2012 ballot had passed, one Fox River Grove village trustee thinks the village could be less reliant on red light camera revenue than it is today.

In Trustee Steve Knar’s eyes, this is an instance that could reasonably be traced back to a worsening trend of voter apathy in McHenry County.

Local data going back to 2000 indicate the number of people who show up to the polls has been on a steady decline.

In the local, odd-year elections – the ones that have the most direct effect on a resident’s everyday life – voter turnout has gone from just a hair above 25 percent in 2001 down to 11 percent in the most recent 2015 elections.

There are a number of reasons driving voter apathy, and likewise, any number of effects.

In the case of the Fox River Grove sales tax referendum, which appeared

DAY 2 – TODAY • A lack of voters is compounded by a lack of candidates for many local elected offices, which in turn leads to a lack of choices and accountability.

• What are the results for communities when voters won’t participate in elections?

DAY 3 – WEDNESDAY • What’s being done on the federal, state and local levels to encourage more participation in government?

during a primary election, the vote ended in a tie, 460-460, and, therefore, failed because referendums require a majority vote.

In all six precincts for that election,

Fox River Grove had voter turnout of 28.1 percent while the county’s overall turnout was only 19.72 percent, according to county records.

“I had a lot of people who, after the

fact, came up to me and said, ‘Oh, I just didn’t make it to the polls,’ ” Knar said.

“If that one person had come out to vote, we could have passed that.”

At the time, officials had estimated the increased sales tax would have generated about $100,000 more a year for the village and its long-term downtown redevelopment plans.

“A lot of that would’ve been driven by [nonresidents] who spend their money in our town, so it wouldn’t have had

CARY – A proposed $2.78 billion deal announced Monday to acquire medical device maker Sage Products shouldn’t lead to immediate major changes within the Cary company beyond the ownership title.

A mainstay in the McHenry County business community since 1980, Sage Products will keep its headquarters in Cary, brand and core executive team intact, even though Michigan-based Stryker Corporation agreed to acquire Sage Products for $2.78 billion.

With a presence in more than 100 countries, Stryker manufacturers medical devices primarily in the orthopedics, medical and surgical specialties.

The international company recently reported $9.94 billion in net sales for 2015.

By comparison, Sage Products totaled $430 million in sales, up 13 percent from 2014.

“We are fully aligned with Sage’s strategy and culture, and we see this acquisition as a very strong addition to our existing product portfolio,” Kevin Lobo, CEO and chairman of Stryker Corporation,

said in a statement. “Stryker looks forward to helping Sage continue its impressive growth trajectory around the world while remaining true to its roots and local community engagement.”

Once the deal is finalized, Sage Products will join Stryker’s medical division, which already features products similar to the medical and surgical devices Sage manufacturers.

Sage’s approach toward preventative health care aligns with Stryker’s corporate mindset, Lobo said.

Chicago-based private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners has owned Sage Products since winter 2012, following an undisclosed deal to acquire majority ownership.

It’s unclear why Madison Dearborn decided to sell Sage Products after three years. A request for comment was not returned Monday.

Sage is a major business in McHenry County, employing more than 700 area residents and maintaining a visible community presence since relocating to the county in 1980.

Through donations and sponsorships,

Sage estimated earlier this winter that its employees have supplied area nonprofits with $3.71 million over the past 10 years.

The Sage name appears often on numerous buildings throughout the county, from the Sage YMCA in Crystal Lake to the Centegra Sage Cancer Center in McHenry.

With the latest acquisition, Sage will maintain founder Vince Foglia as board chairman and Scott Brown as president and CEO. The Cary company will continue to grow internationally with this deal, Brown said, commending Madison Dearborn for helping the company go global.

“We are grateful for [Madison Dearborn]’s partnership over the past few years and believe that Sage is well positioned for continued achievement and long-term success with Stryker, a company that understands our business, supports our goals and embraces our values,” Brown said.

The proposed deal still needs to clear the necessary regulatory approvals. The acquisition should be finalized later this spring, both companies said.

Uncontested races a trend

Gerrymandering protects incumbents EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one-half of part two of our Absent Voters series.

On the Web

By CAITLIN SWIECA

To see infographics with numbers from uncontested elections, visit NWHerald.com.

In last April’s consolidated elections, nearly 57 percent of the 279 seats up for election in McHenry County had only one candidate running.

Perhaps not coincidentally, only 10.9 percent of eligible voters bothered to make it to the polls.

Uncontested elections are nothing new in McHenry County, particularly in local races. Between 2000 and 2015, 47.5 percent of seats in consolidated elections were uncontested. In that time frame, just more than half – 52.7 percent – of the seats in Republican primaries and one-third – 35.7 percent – of seats in general elections were uncontested in McHenry County.

The trend is not confined to Illinois.

Nationally, the National Institute on Money in State Politics found more than one-third of all legislative races in the 2014 general midterm election were uncontested, making it the least competitive of any election since 2000.

Illinois ranked as the sixth least competitive state, with 60 percent of races

uncontested. The institute’s analysis suggested term limits might help produce more competitive elections, but David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois, said Illinois’ issues are rooted in the practice of gerrymandering. “[Districts] are drawn to protect incumbents,” Yepsen said. “Once you are elected, chances are you’ve got a pretty safe seat. A reasonable challenger will take a look at that and say, ‘There’s no chance of unseating an incumbent with those kind of numbers.’ ” The effects of that, Yepsen said, last beyond election day.

“There is no incentive in the Illinois system for people to cooperate,” Yepsen said. “There’s a disincentive to cooperate, and it works like this: If I’m in a safe district, all I have to do is keep my base happy. I pander to my base, whether I’m a Republican or Democrat. There’s a penalty if you’re seen as reaching out to compromise.”

Matthew Streb, chairman of North-

cswieca@shawmedia.com

We Help Make It Happen...

Patti Lutz

ern Illinois University’s Department of Political Science, said it is problematic that local elections tend to be less competitive and breed more voter apathy.

“What goes on at the local level certainly matters,” Streb said. “The issues might not be as high profile as what happens in Washington, but in many ways they have a far greater effect on the citizens’ everyday lives than what happens in Washington.”

Independent Maps, a statewide nonpartisan coalition – is collecting signatures to place an Independent Map Amendment on November’s ballot, which would place redistricting authority in the hands of an independent commission.

In the short term, however, things look grim: 76 out of 118 Illinois House races and 30 out of 40 Illinois Senate races will be uncontested this fall, according to the website Ballotpedia.

“You really need contested elections to be able to hold officials accountable,” Streb said.

Recruitment open for new police chief Department looks to replace retiree in June

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The city of Woodstock has opened up the recruitment process to find a new police chief after Chief Robert Lowen retires in June.

The chief manages a budget of $4.7 million and oversees 50 full-time positions and 11 part-time and limited part-time positions, according to a news release from the city.

Lowen announced his retirement in December after more than 10 years with Woodstock police.

Minimum qualifications include a master’s degree in criminal justice, police or public administration or a related field, the release stated, with five years of command level experience and three years of supervisory experience. The salary for the position

ranges from $87,690 to $136,117 based on qualifications, the release stated.

The deadline to apply is March 1.

City Manager Roscoe Stelford said the city hopes to fill the position by the time Lowen leaves.

He said the search is open to internal and external candidates.

Recruiting for the position will be “very thorough and lengthy,” because of the importance of the position, Robert Stelford said.

Lowen More information on the position and required application materials can be found at www.woodstockil.gov.

McHENRY COUNTY

Official warns residents to be wary of winter conditions

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com A storm system that will bring blizzard conditions to the plains and severe storms to the south is predicted to miss Illinois, although that doesn’t mean the area will be free from its share of wet weather.

McHenry County will feel the impact of the storm system Tuesday in the form of rain, freezing rain or a wintry mix including snow – plus gusty winds – National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Friedlein said.

“Temperatures will very slowly warm [in the] afternoon and expect to transition to rain, so that will minimize impacts,” Friedlein said. “There could be even just a little bit of ice, and a chance to get a little bit of snow.”

As temperatures push into the 40s, as much as a half-inch of rain could fall, with the potential for a rare February thunderstorm, Friedlein said.

Before the system ends Tuesday night into Wednesday, the forecast suggests McHenry County could see a dusting

of snow.

McHenry County Division of Transportation Maintenance Superintendent Ed Markison said all 24 of the county’s snowplow trucks will be out to clear the roads before the morning rush. He couldn’t pinpoint trouble areas, instead he encouraged drivers to exercise constant caution. A freeze overnight created slick conditions that resulted in crashes in McHenry, Crystal Lake, Ringwood, Huntley, Volo and other locations Monday.

A pregnant woman and a 1-year-old child were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry for precautionary reasons after a two-car collision caused when one car slid on ice near Route 12 and May Lane about 6 a.m., Spring Grove Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Julie Tobiasz said.

Meanwhile, Nunda Rural Fire Protection District transported a woman with minor injuries after her pickup truck struck a pole and snapped it at Route 176 east of Barreville Road in Prairie Grove, Nunda Fire Protection District Lt. Nathan Neilan said.

District 26 board approves tech plan

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARY – A technology plan that includes a one-to-one technology program pilot got a nod of approval from the Cary School District 26 Board.

The plan, which runs through 201920, was approved with a 5-1 vote from the school board at its most recent meeting.

Also approved was the associated purchase plan for fiscal 2016, which totals just under $520,000.

Funding sources include the budgeted $300,000 from the education fund’s capital line, plus $220,000 that was left after the district did not pursue its regular textbook adoptions last year, Director of Finance and Operations Jeffrey Schubert said.

Schubert added there will be costs incurred the following years, but those will be part of the budget allotted to the IT department.

The plan will allow the district to increase its stock of iPads and provides the framework for a one-to-one program, which will be piloted next school year with a team of seven sixth-grade teachers, Superintendent Brian Coleman said.

“Based on that pilot, we’ll be choosing a device,” Coleman added.

Through either donations or purchases, the sixth-grade teachers test

the Microsoft Surface, Acer Notebook, Acer/Lenovo Chromebook, iPad and HP Stream, he said, adding the devices will be rotated each quarter.

Board member Benjamin Washow, who gave the sole dissenting vote, said his main concern with the item was the one-to-one piece.

“I don’t have a clear understanding of the goals and the outcome we hope to achieve,” Washow said, adding he is working with district administrators on that as the plan moves forward.

Based on enrollment projections, district documents show the pilot will involve about 140 students and 28 of each type of device before the selection of one.

The pilot beings with sixth-graders and eventually will be rolled out to seventh- and eighth-graders over the three years.

The program will be adopted in sixth grade during the 2017-18 school year, in seventh grade during 2018-19 and a full deployment will take effect in 2019-20.

The plan also involves bringing in three instructional technology coaches over three years – one to Cary Junior High and two who will split time between Briargate, Deer Path and Three Oaks elementary schools – who will work closely with teachers and students as the devices are integrated into learning.

Woodstock man cited after crashing into tree

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – A 33-year-old Woodstock man was cited after crashing into a tree Monday in unincorporated Richmond, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said.

Richmond Township Fire Protection District and McHenry County Sheriff’s Office officials responded about 7 p.m. to the 7900 block of Tryon Grove Road to a car that crashed into a tree, Knop said.

She said the driver, Ryan C. Redden, was traveling east on Tryon Grove Road in a blue Chrysler 300 when a deer ran in front of him, causing him to swerve off the road and hit a tree.

Redden was trapped in his car,

Knop said, and was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. There were no passengers, she said.

Redden was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, Knop said. She said alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Richmond Township Fire Protection District Lt. Jim Moore said there was heavy damage to the vehicle, and the road was temporarily closed.

He said Flight for Life was called to take the patient to the hospital, but it was unable to come because of the weather.

Knop said it was foggy at the time of the crash. A dense fog advisory was issued for McHenry County about 6 p.m. Monday.

D-154 picks new superintendent

“I have been blessed to work with outstanding administrators, teachers and support staff who truly have the best interest of our students in mind at all times.”

Dan Bertrand, D-154 superintendent

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com MARENGO – A current administrator for Marengo Community High School District 154 will be stepping into the highest leadership role in July as Superintendent Dan Bertrand steps down after more than a decade.

David Engelbrecht, who now serves as assistant superintendent of operations for the one-school district, was hired by the school board during the most recent meeting, according to a post on the district website.

Engelbrecht will replace Bertrand, who will be retiring June 30 at the end of a three-year contract after serving as

CRYSTAL LAKE

MCCD board hires firm for trail work

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Another piece of a trail designed to connect Crystal Lake and Woodstock via McHenry County College is moving forward.

The McHenry County Conservation District Board of Trustees recently hired Crystal Lake-based Baxter & Woodman for $70,000, of which 80 percent will be covered by a federal grant, to do the engineering to connect two existing sections of Ridgefield Trace at Oak Street in Crystal Lake, said John Kremer, the district’s director of operations and public safety.

This piece of the trail – trace is another word for Indian trail – has been almost a decade in the works as district officials and other groups tried to overcome the challenges associated with crossing active railroad tracks and Oak Street, according to district documents.

The work is roughly estimated to cost $500,000 to $700,000, a wide range designed to take into account many unknowns, the documents said. The federal grant will cover 80 percent of the cost.

The district will be reaching out to other local entities and applying for grants to help cover its share of the project costs, Kremer said.

The project would require final approval from the district’s Board of Trustees.

Baxter & Woodman is charged with doing the site analysis, working with Union Pacific Railroad officials and designing the actual trail, which gets the district to the point where it could take the project out to bid, he said.

The goal is complete the engineering this year so that construction can occur in 2017 before the grant expires, Kremer said, adding that firm dates are contingent upon the Illinois Department of Transportation’s bidding schedule.

“This is the final gap of the trail,” Kremer said. “We embarked on the initial alignment schedule in February 2000, and we have been working on segments of this trail since the first section was started in 2009.”

Ridgefield Trace travels a looped 1.5 miles from McHenry County College to west of Oak Street in Crystal Lake, where the current gap exists before it picks up again east of Oak Street and heads up Walkup Road before ending at Crystal Lake Park District’s Veteran Acres Park.

The section connecting MCC to Woodstock is currently in the works as part of the widening of Route 14, which is expected to be completed this year.

superintendent for the past 11 years. The school board awarded the incoming superintendent a three-year contract.

Prior to his current role, Engelbrecht was an assistant administrator of technology, transportation and building and grounds for eight years with the district, the post said.

Before that, he began his career in education as a teacher of industrial technology/agriculture for 11 years at Kirkland-Hiawatha High School, and then at Marengo Community High School.

With a total of 33 years in education, Bertrand said in an email that he does not have concrete plans for after retirement but hopes to continue his work in the education field.

He added being superintendent of District 154 has been the best role in his career.

“I have been blessed to work with outstanding administrators, teachers and support staff who truly have the best interest of our students in mind at all times,” Bertrand said. “Our staff has done an excellent job adapting to many local and state initiatives over the years with tremendous results and accomplishments. Including [being] recognized as one of Illinois’ Top 100 high schools for three consecutive years.”

Engelbrecht and board President Elizabeth Henning did not immediately respond to messages from the Northwest Herald.

District 155 official to speak at Sage YMCA luncheon NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The superintendent of Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 will share his own story and his students’ successes at an upcoming Sage YMCA luncheon.

The Out to Lunch monthly talks are designed to give attendees a chance to hear the thoughts of area business and community leaders on topics with local impact, as well as an opportunity to network and develop their leadership skills.

The program grew out of discussions on how to do the annual community breakfast common to YMCA locations across the country, Ostrem said.

The thought was to hold programs

more that once a year since the Y had a brand-new facility.

The luncheon featuring Superintendent Johnnie Thomas will be from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Friday at the Y, 701 Manor Drive, Crystal Lake.

Upcoming speakers also include Phil Eaton, president and CEO of Rosecrance Health Network, on March 4 and Ed Wehmer, chairman of Wintrust Bank, on April 1.

The cost is $10 and includes a lunch of Caesar salad, a club sandwich or a turkey wrap from Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Registration is required by noon Thursday and can be completed by calling or emailing Lesley Smith at 815526-1635 or lpsmith@ymcachicago.org.

McHENRY – The city of McHenry may not recoup all of the costs for some of the proposed projects in its downtown district, city officials said.

The projects were identified as part of the downtown’s tax increment financing district, a mechanism designed to help fund economic development initiatives, as part of the city’s five-year capital improvement project set to be approved later this month.

The TIF district’s Bill Hobson fund is already in the hole about $750,000 for projects paid for using general fund dollars, Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson said.

For the first time this year, the assessed value of taxable property in the TIF district fell below the amount that existed in 2002 when the TIF district was created, Hobson said.

The city has about 10 years left in the life of the TIF district, but Hobson said it could consider asking for an extension, which would add 12 years to the existing 23 years.

The extension would require approval from the Illinois General Assembly.

A decision needs to be made on whether the City Council is going to pursue that option soon, especially as the council takes a look at what projects the city should take on, Alderman Scott Curry said, adding the council could decide to do the work anyway, just with the understanding that the

funds are unlikely to be recouped.

The inclusion of projects – such as the extension of the Riverwalk, the replacement of street lighting and signage and parking improvements – in the five-year capital improvement plan ensures that the city is prepared in case significant development does occur, and that qualifying projects are tracked for potential reimbursement, City Administrator Derik Morefield said in his memo to the council.

The capital plan identifies an estimated $85.3 million worth of projects across the city’s various departments, Derik including streets, public Morefield safety, water and sewer.

The city doesn’t have enough money to pay for everything in the plan or even the $9.2 million worth of projects – not including water and sewer projects – identified for the coming budget year, Morefield said.

Some of the funds to pay for the projects city staff are recommending to pursue will come from grants, general fund revenue, fees charged when subdivisions were developed and the city’s reserves, he said.

The council approved in a 6-1 vote a new fund balance plan that recommends the city maintain 120 days worth of expenses in its general fund.

Some aldermen raised concerns, however, that the proposal as presented would lead to reserves remaining at their current levels, and so the plan was amended so plans designed to restore reserves wouldn’t kick in until 90 days.

Continued from page 3 as great of an effect on our residents,” Knar said. “In a roundabout way, the loss of that sales tax revenue ... forces us to seek other options that might have a higher impact on residents.”

Tie votes in smaller communities become more feasible when only a fraction of registered voters make it to the polls, former McHenry County Clerk Kathy Schultz said.

In her time as clerk, she said she saw a few different elections in which a tie vote occurred.

“Normally it would happen on just your smaller elections, so municipalities, library [districts], where voter turnout is so low that you don’t have that spread or you don’t have that many registered voters,” Schultz said.

That’s what happened in Island Lake in 2011, when two village trustee candidates tied and the decision was left up to chance.

“If you have a tie race, that tie has to be broken before anything can be done, so you bring those candidates in and you have to either flip a coin, draw straws or some other game of chance,” Schultz said.

Among some currently in public office, as well as some involved in the election process locally, the idea is common that low voter turnout feeds into itself as a cyclical stream.

The common knowledge that few local voters put forth the effort likely discourages potential candidates from running, local officials say.

Having fewer candidates creates an environment ripe for uncontested races, which president of the League of Women Voters of McHenry County Paula Ekstrom said can discourage voters from showing up at all.

For each local election since 2001, there have been at least 100 seats, some years as many as 250, that were either uncontested or there weren’t enough candidates to fill the number of open seats, county data show.

“Local elections are very important because the people who run for local offices, like the county board, city councils, school districts and library districts ... are the people who spend the money from your property taxes,” Ekstrom said, later adding, “I would think people would care about who is spending their tax money.”

When people do get involved in local government, it’s often not until they’re angry about something, some elected officials say. It’s difficult to get the vote out for people happy with how things are going, Lakewood President Erin Smith said, adding she thought, in general, that, along with mediums such as social media, has made it easier to elect those who are angriest.

That can make it difficult to know whether decisions made on the ballot by the small percentages of voters are

You have a responsibility.

Democracies can fade if the electorate don’t show up” Mike Roberts, McHenry High School District 156 superintendent

Northwest Herald file photo

Voters were given “I voted” stickers after casting their vote in November 2012 at McHenry City Hall. truly representative of what communities as a whole really want, McHenry High School District 156 Superintendent Mike Roberts said.

Another failed referendum story comes from Roberts’ district, but, at the time, he was principal of McHenry High School – West Campus.

The school district asked taxpayers for millions in order to avoid major cuts then projected to total about $4 million. “[The referendum] gets soundly de-

feated, but then [post-election], the west campus auditorium was filled with about 500 people,” Roberts said, adding the people came to protest the proposed cuts.

In the long run, he thinks it worked out because the situation forced the district to run much leaner and more creatively than it ever had. Still, he also recalled the 11 teacher cuts in one year, six through attrition but five through layoffs after the referendum failed and

the district shaved expenses.

Classroom sizes grew a little; certain lower-level athletic programs were lost; and building budgets affecting supplies and maintenance shrunk. Given the large majority of “no” votes on the referendum, and without knowing who in the crowded auditorium voted – and if so which way – he couldn’t say this was necessarily a result of voter apathy.

What he could say was that it was the largest crisis he had ever encountered throughout his 35-year tenure in education, and still voter turnout didn’t quite make it to 50 percent. The referendum appeared on the ballot on a general election year.

“We had this crisis and, yet, voter apathy still existed,” Roberts said.

He added it will be difficult to ever know the true sentiment of the population, local or national, and, because of that, things will sometimes happen that the quiet, uninvolved majority might not support.

“You have a responsibility,” Roberts said. “Democracies can fade if the electorate don’t show up.”

STATE

Pension bill on hold despite agreement

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Democrats are unlikely to address Illinois’ worst-in-the-nation pension crisis until the state has a budget, despite a rare agreement between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Senate President John Cullerton and calls from the governor to send him a bill “right away.”

Rauner announced last month that he’s backing a Cullerton plan to give workers a choice in retirement benefits as a way to chip away at Illinois’ $111 billion unfunded pension liability. He struck an optimistic tone in last week’s State of the State speech, calling it one of the most critical steps lawmakers can take to save taxpayers money.

But Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, said it will be even tougher than usual to pass pension legislation this year because of upcoming elections, opposition from labor unions, an Illinois Supreme Court ruling that declared a previous law unconstitutional and the ongoing state budget saga. A pension bill could be part of a broader deal between Rauner and majority Democrats on a budget and other issues, he said – a process

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state Police: Chicago homicides climbed dramatically in Jan.

CHICAGO – Chicago saw a dramatic spike in the number of homicides and shootings in January – the bloodiest start to a year in at least 16 years and a blow to a police force struggling to regain public trust after the release of a video of a white officer fatally shooting a black teen.

In a news release Monday, Chicago police reported that 51 homicides were committed in the city last month, compared with 29 in January 2015. The number of shooting incidents more than doubled, from 119 last January to 242 this January. The number of shooting victims increased from 136 to 292.

“We can’t put our finger on” specific reasons for the increase, the city’s interim police superintendent, John Escalante, said. But he noted the increase

that’s likely to take several months, if not longer.

“With the union opposition and without 100 percent of Republicans on board, it’s going to be difficult,” Cullerton said. “Just like everything else this year, people want to know what the big picture is.”

Rauner’s office said Monday that “there should be no good policy reason to delay moving John the bill” once it’s draft- Cullerton ed, noting the governor has agreed to use language written by Cullerton’s staff.

“Failure to act swiftly on pension reform could be a signal the legislature is putting politics ahead of good policy, so we expect both Chambers to act on it right away,” Rauner deputy chief of staff Mike Schrimpf said in an emailed statement.

Cullerton called Rauner’s support “very important,” but said it’s not as simple as the governor seems to think.

“Passing a bill is something I’ve had more experience at that than he has,” Cullerton said.

Illinois is providing only about 40

percent of what’s needed to pay pension benefits, largely because of lawmakers who for years skipped making the state’s contributions. As a result, its annual payments have ballooned to about $7 billion – roughly onefifth of Illinois’ general funds budget.

Lawmakers approved legislation in 2013 that cut pension benefits, but unions sued, saying the Illinois Constitution pro- Bruce hibits retirement bene- Rauner fits from being reduced.

In May, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed.

AFL-CIO President Michael Carrigan, a spokesman for a coalition of unions that’s led the fight to protect pensions, said they believe Cullerton’s plan also is unconstitutional.

He said the unions are willing to discuss other options, but “the phone hasn’t rung in a long, long time.”

“Our (public employees) worked long and hard to battle for their pension benefits, and there is no appetite to sit down and discuss legislation that’s going to diminish those benefits,” Carrigan said, adding that getting a budget is

unions’ top priority.

Cullerton said he believes his approach is constitutional, and he plans to sit down with union officials to discuss both the “legal side” and the “political side.” He also will present the legislation to Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan once it’s drafted.

Schrimpf said Cullerton’s attorneys are expected to send their legislative language to Rauner’s office by the middle of this week.

Rauner and majority Democrats have been at odds over how to close a roughly $5 billion budget deficit, leaving Illinois without a spending plan for the fiscal year that started July 1 and causing deep cuts to social services and other programs.

Rauner wants pro-business changes before he will sign off on a tax increase, but Democrats say his agenda would hurt the middle class.

Cullerton said he’s hopeful a budget deal could be reached by May, adding he doesn’t think the stalemate will last through the November elections.

“I hope not,” he said. “I can’t imagine it.”

coincides with an equally dramatic decrease in the number of street stops made in January.

He noted that the decrease comes after a policy change that went into effect this year requiring officers to fill out lengthier forms than the brief “contact cards” they used through 2015. It could be that officers are taking more time to fill out the forms as they adjust to the change, preventing them from making more stops, he said. Officers are going through training now to help them deal with the new forms, Escalante said.

2016 at $6.7 billion.

Last year, the California-based company was predicting an Illinois market of $36 million in 2016. CEO Troy Dayton said a change in methods means comparing the two predictions “isn’t apples to apples,” but that Rauner administration decisions did affect this year’s gloomier forecast.

enforcement has more than doubled.

The Daily Herald reported that police departments, sheriff’s offices and state’s attorneys raised objections to nearly 11,000 applications statewide in 2015, compared to almost 4,000 in 2014.

CHICAGO – The Chicago Teachers Union announced Monday it has rejected a four-year contract proposal, saying the offer does not address school conditions, a lack of services for some students or the fiscal crisis the nation’s third-largest district faces.

The union’s 40-member “Big Bargaining Team” voted against sending the proposal, which the union’s leadership last week called a “serious offer,” to the larger House of Delegates. That group would have decided whether the entire union membership could vote it up or down.

“We are not convinced that they will make good on their promises set forth in this proposal that are very vague and unclear,” said Dr. Monique Redeaux-Smith, a bargaining team member.

Research firm: Ill. marijuana market forecast is gloomy

CHICAGO – A market research company is growing pessimistic about Illinois medical marijuana, telling investors that retail sales could reach just $15.6 million in 2016 due at least in part to moves by Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to limit the program’s expansion.

ArcView Market Research released its projections Monday exclusively to The Associated Press to coincide with the company’s annual guide, which estimates the national cannabis market for

Concealed carry permit applications drop

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Illinois State Police granted far fewer concealed carry permits statewide in 2015 than in 2014, according to numbers released by the agency.

About 55,500 permits were granted statewide during 2015. That’s compared to about 95,500 in 2014, the first year of the program.

In Cook County, about 15,204 permits were granted by Illinois State Police in 2015, down from about 24,800 in 2014.

Nearly 3,200 permits were granted last year in neighboring DuPage County, compared to about 5,800 in 2014.

But while the number of granted permits is down, the number of objections to applications that were made by law

The U.N. agency took the rare step despite a lack of definitive evidence proving the mosquito-borne virus is causing a surge in babies born with brain defects and abnormally small heads in Brazil and after a 2013-14 outbreak in French Polynesia.

Monday’s emergency meeting of independent experts was called in response to the spike in babies born with microcephaly in Brazil since the virus was first found there last year.

Engineer recalls opening throttle before fatal crash

WASHINGTON – The last thing Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian remembers before last May’s fatal crash in Philadelphia is pushing the throttle forward to pick up speed and then braking when he felt the train going too fast into a sharp curve, according to a transcript of his interview with federal accident investigators.

When he realized the train was about to derail, Bostian said he was holding tightly to the controls and thinking, “Well, this is it, I’m going over.”

Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, arrives for a caucus night rally Monday in Des Moines, Iowa.

Cruz tops Trump in Iowa; Clinton, Sanders in tight race

By JULIE PACE and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a fiery conservative loathed by his own party’s leaders, swept to victory in Iowa’s Republican caucuses Monday, overcoming billionaire Donald Trump and a stronger-than-expected showing by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Among Democrats, Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter enthusiasm to a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton, long considered her party’s front-runner.

Cruz’s victory over Trump was a testament to his massive get-out-the-vote operation in Iowa and the months he spent wooing the state’s influential conservative and evangelical leaders.

“Iowa has sent notice that the Republican nominee and next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment,” Cruz said.

His comments were echoed by Sanders, underscoring the degree to which voter frustration with the political system has crossed party lines in the 2016 campaign.

“It is too late for establishment politics and establishment economics,” said Sanders, who declared the Democratic race a “virtual tie.”

Clinton took the stage at her own campaign rally saying she was “breathing a big sigh of relief” but with the Democratic race too close to call. Aware that even a slim victory over Sanders would reinvigorate questions about her candidacy, she foresaw a long

race to come.

“It is rare that we have the opportunity we do now, to have a real contest of ideas, to really think hard about what the Democratic Party stands for and what we want the future of our country to look like,” Clinton said.

Trump has shaken the Republican Party perhaps more than any other candidate, although he was unable to turn his legion of fans into an Iowa victory.

He sounded humble in defeat, saying he was “honored” by the support of Iowans. And he vowed to keep up his fight for the Republican nomination.

“We will go on to easily beat Hillary or Bernie or whoever the [heck] they throw up,” Trump told cheering supporters.

For Clinton’s supporters, the tight race with Sanders was sure to bring back painful memories of her loss to Barack Obama in 2008. Her campaign spent nearly a year building a get-out-the-vote operation in Iowa yet still seemed to be caught off guard by the enthusiasm surrounding Sanders.

A self-declared democratic socialist from Vermont, Sanders drew large, youthful crowds across the state with his calls for breaking up big Wall Street banks and his fierce opposition to a campaign finance system that he said is rigged for the wealthy.

Cruz modeled his campaign after past Iowa Republican winners, visiting all of the state’s 99 counties and courting evangelical and conservative leaders. While candidates with that portfolio have often faded later in the primary season, Cruz hopes to ride his momentum to the nomination.

Hiding news bad PR move Criticism of police actions isn’t a new phenomenon, but it’s become particularly polarizing over the past few years, with attention over police shootings or behaviors grabbing national headlines.

Sometimes, even often, the criticism is unfair, unwarranted and unhelpful. There’s a lack of understanding the dangers police officers For the record face, an overstating of how widespread One of the criticisms police issues are and an irdepartments face is they responsible painting protect their own to a fault. with broad brushes.

According to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Oscar Baez, 52, was driving a Ford Expedition on Gracy Road near Route 31 when he blew a stop sign around 10:30 p.m. Nov. 29 and crashed into a pole.

Responding officers said Baez smelled of alcoholic beverages, admitted he’d been drinking, refused field sobriety tests and was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

However, Baez wasn’t just a citizen who made a poor choice that should have led to his arrest.

He was a part-time Prairie Grove police officer who was on duty. The 2011 Ford Expedition that had to be replaced for $32,000 wasn’t his vehicle. It belonged to the taxpayers and citizens of Prairie Grove.

McHenry County Sheriff’s officers, of course, did the right thing in charging Baez with DUI. Prairie Grove village officials did the right thing in seeking Baez’s immediate termination. He quit before he could be fired.

What they did wrong was not tell anyone what happened. Baez, again allegedly drunk on duty and damaging a police vehicle in a crash, didn’t even make the police blotter. No news release, no announcement from the village or the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Few would have known about the incident had the Northwest Herald not received a tip.

That’s not the kind of decision that fosters more trust between police and the public. Whatever the motives were to keep the crash quiet, it looks like agencies wanted to protect one of their own from the harsh limelight.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Zika should serve as a reminder If runaway disease were not a disturbing enough nightmare for most people, there is a knock-on effect often just as disruptive: panic, confusion and fear.

When a silent killer is on the march and authorities react by dissembling or with desperation, people get the message – and get irrational. The case of Ebola virus disease in West Africa demonstrated vividly how, in managing an outbreak, good information is as important as medical therapy, and failure to inform can lead to disaster. Now the Zika virus, while not as deadly as Ebola, is highlighting again the need for honesty, transparency and a renewed commitment to research and rapid response in managing such threats.

The Zika virus existed for decades in equatorial zones of Asia and Africa. Then, about 10 years ago, it cropped up on various Pacific islands. The virus, borne by mosquitoes, causes

a mild, flu-like sickness and rash in some infected people, and there is no known therapy.

Zika showed up in Brazil last year and now has infected more than 1 million people, and, most worrisome, has been linked to a condition known as microcephaly, in which a child is born with a small head and brain.

The announcement did, perhaps, serve as a crude wake-up call for women who are pregnant or might become pregnant to pay attention, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged all pregnant women to avoid travel to areas where the virus has been found.

The virus is certain to spread in the months ahead – by some estimates, to 3 million or 4 million people. The World Health Organization has warned it is “spreading explosively.” The most responsible action by authorities is to fight mosquitoes and the conditions in which they

breed, and help people grasp the basics, such as protecting themselves against mosquito bites that can infect.

The spread of a new or unusual disease – whether it be severe acute respiratory syndrome a decade ago, or Middle East respiratory syndrome a few years ago, or Zika now – also raises an important challenge to biomedical researchers.

There’s been a hope that gains in genomics and other disciplines could lead to a rapid-response mechanism for fighting such threats. Had a vaccine been successfully developed quickly for Ebola, thousands of lives might have been saved.

It is not easy to bend the rules of nature and create effective vaccines and drugs quickly, but the arrival of Zika should remind us that basic and applied research to this end is well worth the investment.

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.

The Washington Post

Every time Gov. Bruce Rauner gives a major speech, social media (and even mass media) lights him up over the way he drops his “Gs” at the end of words.

He’s workin’ and doin’ his best and shakin’ up Springfield, or whatever.

Last year, after his first State of the State address, Illinois Public Radio even interviewed a language expert about whether he was doin’ this on purpose.

It does seem contrived.

Rauner was educated at Ivy League Gov. Bruce schools, after all, and Rauner worked in some of the highest echelons in business. If you listen to any of his speeches in the years before he ran for governor, you’ll notice he talked like an educated midwesterner.

Anyway, Gov. Rauner asked me over to the Executive Mansion for a chat after Wednesday’s State of the State address.

It wasn’t exactly an honor. He wanted me to come by so he and I could have it out after he said something false about me at a news conference.

He held the news conference to unveil an executive order consolidating information technology services into a single state agency. It was a

VIEWS Rich Miller fairly noncontroversial announcement about a much-needed governmental upgrade.

I actually was kinda bored listening on the Internet until the governor was asked about some state revenue projections he sent to legislators several months ago and shared with me earlier this month.

Rauner’s own projections were based on what would happen if the governor got his economic agenda passed. The memo to legislators was designed to build support for (or at least, defend) his controversial pro-business agenda.

I published Rauner’s projection of a $510 million revenue increase, which I thought insufficient to justify all this impasse-related carnage.

As I pointed out, the governor’s numbers meant he was aiming for a mere 1.4 percent revenue increase over fiscal 2015.

“The author of the Capitol Fax has his numbers way, way wrong and we will be discussin’ that in our budget address,” Rauner told reporters, even though I simply used Rauner’s own numbers.

“I will also point out,” Rauner continued, “that the author of that

Must set example

To the Editor: State representative candidate Steve Reick may have gained temporary ballot access, but his legal troubles for possible electoral fraud are far from over.

The State Board of Elections is not a criminal court. It simply found Reick had a sufficient amount of petition signers.

It did not rule, because it does not have

blog used to work for Speaker Madigan, so I don’t want to put too much credence in the commentary.”

What an absolute, total crock.

I was a House page for two or three weeks way back in 1985. My tenure may not have even been that long because the House wasn’t in session while I was a page, and I quit before they came back to town for a job on my college campus.

I wish I could tell you what happened at my subsequent meeting with Rauner, but I can’t because it was completely off the record. As he told reporters, Rauner will be issuing revised projections. Total increased revenue and state and local government savings, he believes, are about $6 billion.

I can, however, tell you a story because I cleared it with the governor the next day.

At one point during our discussion, I decided to lighten the mood a little and asked him what the dealio was with all those dropped “Gs,” teasing him that he sounded like somebody attempting to imitate a hillbilly.

That got a big laugh, particularly from Mrs. Rauner.

The governor said he now feels “free” to be himself since he was elected.

Mrs. Rauner agreed his public wardrobe has deteriorated drastically since election day, as has his

grammar.

Gov. Rauner told me he couldn’t talk like he wanted and wear what he wanted when he was a businessman because nobody would want to do business with him.

At one point, he said, his business partners even asked him not to drive his lousy old car to company outings because it was an embarrassment to them.

Rauner said he was the only partner at his firm who didn’t own a private jet and fancy cars. He said he’s “proud” to still have the first tie he ever bought.

So all of that video and audio of him speaking years ago was actually the contrived Rauner, the governor said. Now, he just wants to be himself, and that means droppin’ his “Gs” and doin’ other stuff like wearin’ the clothes he likes, not the clothes others expect him to don.

Anyway, it’s not exactly earth-shattering stuff, but I thought you’d be interested because this does give us some insight into how the governor thinks.

First, if you really get him angry, he will throw you under the bus with Madigan. And second, he happily and unselfconsciously will drop his “Gs” while he does it.

Centegra ventures into plastic surgery

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – For the first time, Centegra Health System will provide laser skin treatments, Botox injections, breast implants and other plastic surgical services directly to McHenry County residents who either may medically need it or voluntarily want it.

By late February, those services will be offered at Centegra’s newest business venture called Centegra Aesthetica, a practice that will feature a medical spa-type environment overseen by Dr. Saeed Chowdhry who started working for Centegra in July.

People wanting a tighter cheek line, less wrinkles, larger breasts and other cosmetic alterations to their body can use Chowdhry’s new practice

but will likely have to pay out of pocket. Chowdhry also will offer medically necessary reconstructive services to treat recovering trauma and cancer patients.

“I can help anybody whether they want a scar removed, revised or improved, or if they want a breast augmentation or reconstruction. For me, this is a very dynamic practice,” Chowdhry said. “We can take care of so many different problems, concerns and issues for patients out of one place.”

The range of cosmetic services at Centegra Aesthetica, 260 Congress Parkway, Suite D, Crystal Lake, include noninvasive procedures such as laser treatments and injectables for face and body lifts, along with liposuction and surgical procedures for the face and breasts.

Centegra invested about $500,000 to renovate and purchase new laser equipment for the 1,725-square-foot practice, said Jason Sciarro, Centegra president and chief operating officer. The practice will employ between three to five people once it opens.

Centegra needed to create the more retail-orientated practice to help draw Chowdhry to the area since many plastic surgeons industrywide perform emergency work at hospitals but also elective procedures for people seeking cosmetic changes, he said In creating the practice, Centegra was able to attract a qualified expert who can address an underserved area within Centegra’s market – plastic surgery, he said. Chowdhry’s presence on Centegra’s surgical staff also means the

system won’t have to funnel trauma patients needing reconstructive surgery to outside hospitals.

Sciarro said he sees about 60 percent of Chowdhry’s work tied up on the cosmetic side, dealing with patients who voluntarily want changes to their bodies. But that doesn’t mean Centegra is starting a fullfledged. revenue-generating plastic surgery center commonly seen on TV shows such as Nip/Tuck, Sciarro said.

“This isn’t like Nip/Tuck.

This isn’t what we are doing. ... Sometimes it’s about having local resources to be able to do things that make people feel comfortable,” Sciarro said. “[Chowdhry] has a special talent. That talent is going to play out in multiple ways in our health system both inpatient and outpatient.”

Over the past 12 months, the McHenry County EDC has helped develop the county’s first Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The expanded strategy for Boone, McHenry and Winnebago counties represents a natural evolution of our continued focus to collaborate for regional economic vitality.

A mix of public- and private-sector leaders spearheaded the CEDS planning process, representing manufacturing, health care, municipalities, economic development, workforce development and higher education.

Regional stakeholders prioritized aligning this CEDS with other regional plans in existence. The vision developed is to make a world-class, prosperous region with a resilient economic base and superior quality of life that outperforms peer regions in job growth, capital investment and innovation. How we will get there includes: • A collaborative economic development strategy

MCEDC NEWS Pamela Cumpata emphasizing communication, cooperation, alignment of initiatives, shared assets and regional promotion for business investment.

• Efficient business development, expansion, diversification, job growth and innovation throughout the region.

• Availability of a skilled and flexible workforce that meets the needs of existing and emerging industries and technologies.

• A full range of infrastructure, with an emphasis on transportation, utilities and communication that can meet the needs of the region’s businesses.

• Sustainable economic development with redevelopment of underused commercial properties, including brownfields, along with the promotion of land use patterns that allow for growth

and protect natural resources.

• A higher quality of life through support and enhancement of the region’s community identity, community health, natural features, cultural and recreational amenities, and creative industries.

The CEDS also identified numerous industry clusters that represent all three counties, including advanced manufacturing, transportation, logistics and distribution, agriculture and food processing, and health care and medical sciences.

A tactical plan within the CEDS will guide all involved parties to drive results and enhance initiatives already underway. An example is the McHenry County Conservation District’s planning event Saturday at McHenry County College. The event looks at how to plan and preserve the natural resources that we all enjoy into the future.

On Jan. 30, I had the pleasure of attending Crystal Lake School District 155’s Girls in Engineering Math

and Science event for sixth- to eighth-graders. After talking to many young women and their parents, the future of our workforce looks extremely bright. This is another example of what the county does everyday to develop our future workforce, so meeting the goals within the CEDS will not be difficult.

The CEDS is a guide that challenges each of us to make tomorrow better than today.

The Steering Committee from McHenry County embraced the greatness of this county and objectively assessed what we can continue to improve on. That is a healthy approach to business, health, family and life. So, I challenge you to look for the positive in McHenry County. We have much to improve on, but negative thoughts and actions never accomplish anything.

Airlines restore tiny perks to pacify fliers

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – After 15 years of near austerity, U.S. airlines are restoring some small perks for passengers crammed into coach.

Don’t expect ample legroom or free checked bags.

But fliers will find improved snacks, a larger selection of free movies and – on a few select routes – the return of free meals.

On Monday, American Airlines became the latest carrier to add something back. It announced the return of free snacks in the economy section and more free entertainment options on some aircraft.

American, which recently merged with US Airways, hasn’t offered free snacks since 2003. US Airways stripped passengers of snacks in 2008.

Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the sub-

sequent recession, U.S. airlines removed almost every perk imaginable on domestic flights. Hot meals disappeared along with legroom, blankets and pillows.

“It was really about survival,” said Fernand Fernandez, vice president of global marketing at American.

When Continental Airlines stopped giving out free cookies and mini bags of pretzels in 2011 – after its merger with United Airlines – it said the move would save $2.5 million a year.

Since then, mergers have created four mega-carriers that control more than 80 percent of the domestic market.

They started charging $25 for each checked suitcase.

And more seats have been crammed into planes to maximize profits. Now the industry is making record profits.

“What has changed ,” Fernandez said, “is that the airlines have been able to fix our

core business and be able to reinvest in our customers.”

That means new planes, larger overhead bins and for a long time, nicer first class cabins.

Now a bit of that wealth is trickling back to coach.

This month, American will start offering Biscoff cookies or pretzels to passengers flying between New York and San Francisco or Los Angeles.

By April, those snacks will expand to all other domestic routes. In May, American will bring back full meal service for coach passengers between Dallas and Hawaii.

“We know that we have customers who select our airline based on price and we’re really excited to offer them a product that is superior to choosing an ultra-low cost carrier,” Fernandez said.

United recently announced the return of free snacks on its flights starting in February.

Delta Air Lines – the other

big legacy carrier – never removed snacks, even during bankruptcy.

American also is expanding its complimentary entertainment on domestic flights with in-seat TVs. Passengers will be able to choose from up to 40 movies, 60 TV shows and 300 music albums. Delta has taken a different path, focusing more on entertainment that passengers can stream to their own devices. It now offers about 67 movies and 138 TV shows for free.

“These are token investments in the passenger experience that will not cost airlines a lot of money but are small ways to make passengers a little bit happier,” said Henry Harteveldt, the founder of travel consultancy Atmosphere Research Group.

“American and United realized: We don’t let other airlines have an advantage on price, why let them have one on pretzels.”

What to watch

Huntley junior football player, wrestler and track and field thrower Justin Domingo is listed on the school’s 200-Pound Club board for power clean weight lifting as well as the 400-Pound Club board for squats.

• DOMINGO

Continued from page 26 She kept it a secret from Justin until after Thanksgiving. She knew from the reports at Sherman but wanted further confirmation from an oncologist at Lutheran General in Park Ridge before telling him.

“I was having a hard time talking to him and not crying,” Victoria said.

“When I cried, I went outside the room and (would) cry and wipe my eyes.

I didn’t want him to know I’d been crying.”

When they learned the lymphoma was Hodgkin’s, the Domingos were even more upbeat. The prognosis for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is about 72 percent, according to medicinenet. com, part of the WebMD network, not quite as high as Hodgkin’s.

Justin gets wiped out by the chemo treatments, sleeping from 10 p.m. some days until 1 p.m. the next. He comes to school when he feels up to it, sometimes dropping by the weight room to give moral support to his football brothers through the clanging, banging and Metallica blaring through the sound system speakers.

“Nothing ever hit me like that, one of my closest friends since sixth grade,” junior offensive tackle A.J. Zeis said. “Me and my friends were in shock. When he has chemotherapy, I ask if he wants me to come with him for someone to talk to. Sometimes I go with him and miss a day of school.”

“Every day, I get text messages from my teammates saying they hope I feel better and hope to see me soon, wishing me luck before my chemos and stuff.”

Justin Domingo

Huntley junior three-sport athlete

Zeis thinks back a couple of years when Domingo lifted his spirits.

Zeis had a broken leg in football and couldn’t play, but Domingo urged him to come and be around the team.

“He said, don’t be embarrassed, be empowered by it,” Zeis said. “That’s what he’s been doing, bringing up the tempo in the weight room. I’ve never heard him complain about it. He pretty much talks about how much stronger it’s going to make him because he’s been through so much.”

The Domingos’ health insurance covers 80 percent, but the family has to pay the rest, so Huntley High School is planning fundraisers in upcoming months to help them cover those costs.

“It’s great having their support,” Justin said. “Every day, I get text messages from my teammates saying they hope I feel better and hope to see me soon, wishing me luck before my chemos and stuff. All the fundraising and stuff means a lot. It’s really expensive.”

Victoria thinks 16-year-old Justin,

the younger of her two children, is coping well. Over the holidays, Julienne Domingo, Justin’s 21-year-old sister, was home visiting from nursing school in The Philippines. While Justin continues his chemo sessions, they anxiously await an evaluation from their oncologist about how the lymphoma is responding to treatment and whether the dosage needs to be increased, decreased or will remain the same.

Victoria has talked with Huntley school officials, who are prepared to send a tutor to help Justin catch up on his class work.

“The school was very supportive,” Victoria said. “They told me the most important thing right now was his condition, getting him medically stable.

They don’t want to give him a lot of stress. They told me call them anytime when he’s ready for tutoring.”

Justin Domingo is ready, mentally, to get back in the weight room for real. He has been able to keep up some cardiovascular training while being treated but cannot lift. Babyar jokes that he doesn’t want Domingo, a lineman, playing at the weight of a wide receiver.

Domingo is determined he not only will be in the lineup for Opening Night but will be at his best for a team expected to contend in the Fox Valley Conference.

“Actually, I want to be better,” Domingo said. “I see it as motivation because I want to catch back up to everyone in the weight room. I won’t be as strong as them [when I come back].”

Blackhawks at Colorado, 8 p.m., CSN The Hawks return to action after the All-Star break with a game against the Central Division rival Avalanche in Denver.

Really?

The Illinois football team spent the second-most of any Big Ten school on football recruiting last school year at $786,013, ranking behind Nebraska ($991,818) and just ahead of Michigan ($739,337) and Michigan State ($643,047).

28 GIRLS SOCCER

C-G senior can’t wait to cement college deal

Club player Koch to sign with S. Carolina

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Becky Koch has known for more than a year where she will play her college soccer, but Wednesday it becomes official, setting in motion what she thinks will be a whirlwind few months leading up to the start of her college career.

Koch, a senior at CaryGrove, will sign with South Carolina on national signing day Wednesday, making official the commitment she gave to the Gamecocks during her junior year.

Becky Koch “It’s going to be so cool,” Koch said. “And it’s just once I sign I feel like everything else is going to come so quickly, like before I know it, I’ll be there actually training and stuff, which is crazy.”

Koch began her youth soccer career with the Cary Defenders, but for the past seven years she has played with Oak Brook’s Eclipse Select Soccer Club in the Elite Club National League, the top girls club competition in the nation.

On the verge of signing her letter of intent, and after winning multiple national titles with Eclipse, Koch said the numerous hour-plus trips to Oak Brook to train with Eclipse has “obviously all been worth it.”

Because she hasn’t been able to play with the Trojans’ high school team, Koch won’t be part of the school’s signing day, rather celebrating at a party with fellow seniors from her club.

As a starting defender with a top-tier national club, Koch got plenty of exposure to colleges at top tournaments. In the process of picking a college, Koch said she always knew she wanted to attend a big school. Deciding between four

finalists, Koch said that in addition to the team’s on-field attributes, she took into account academics and what she could gather about the relationships between teammates when she visited.

“I visited (South Carolina) twice before I actually committed, and I knew every time I went on the campus I loved the campus and how it is. I think it definitely fit what I wanted both academically and athletically,” Koch said. “The coaches there, they’re a couple – a husband and a wife – and they’re amazing. So is the team. They treat it like a family there and that’s what I really like, because that’s how my club is now, it’s really family oriented and that’s how the team is there.”

South Carolina was regularly ranked throughout the 2015 season, before finishing 26th in the final National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. The Gamecocks also reached the NCAA tournament in 2015, their eighth postseason appearance in the past nine years. In 2014, they reached the quarterfinals.

“The way they play is defense-based, and I’m a defender and I like building from the back, that’s exactly what I like,” Koch said. “When I was there, I got to see some of their trainings, and they’re just really high-paced, really motivated and positive. I just liked that whole training environment.”

After seven years with Eclipse, college also presents Koch with more than just a jump up in competition.

“I think it’s going to be a new challenge for me because I’ve been with the club I’m with now for seven years, so I’ve been with the same coaches, the same players,” Koch said. “Having to face new obstacles like a whole new team and new coaches, it’s definitely going to be a challenge, but I think I’ll learn so much and become a lot better player.”

“I still have another year. I don’t want to commit right away when everything’s starting to pick up for me.”

Richmond-Burton lineman Dalton Wagner

PREP FOOTBALL

R-B’s Wagner weighs offer from Illini

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Richmond-Burton junior Dalton Wagner wants to savor his college football recruitment, which is both enjoyable and overwhelming.

Wagner, a 6-foot-9, 295-pound offensive tackle, received his fourth NCAA Division I offer over the weekend when he attended Illinois’ Junior Day. Wagner was a Northwest Herald All-Area firstteam selection on the offensive line after helping the Rockets to a 9-2 record and a first-round Class 4A playoff victory.

Receiving his first offer from a Big Ten Conference school was exciting, but Wagner wants to see recruiting through the entire process.

“I still have another year. I don’t want to commit right away when everything’s starting to pick up for me,” he said. “I feel like I want to wait and weigh out my

options. I’ve talked with my parents; it’s way too early to commit. It’d be a waste when it’s starting to pick up for me. I’d love to see where I fit even more.”

Wagner also has offers from Louisville, Buffalo and Miami (Ohio). He plans on attending more camps throughout the spring and summer.

Dalton Wagner Wagner said he did not speak to R-B graduate Tim Clary, who played at Illinois, but has leaned on his father, Brad, and brother Bryce.

Bryce (6-8, 339) is a sophomore at Southern Illinois University.

“It’s a lot different than what Bryce was going through. We’re still learning through it all,” Dalton said. “It’s pretty cool. At times it can be overwhelming. The night I got my Louisville of-

fer, I was doing homework when they called. I called them back and, after I finished, I tweeted stuff out and went back to homework. Then all this other stuff came in, and I was trying to do my homework.”

R-B coach Pat Elder says Wagner has a lot to offer for college coaches.

“Obviously, his size is what makes [coaches] take a look,” Elder said. “He can move. He’s got good hips, pretty good feet and comes off the ball well and understands the game. He does well in that manner.”

Elder said Wagner’s improvement on the field and his attention to academics make him even more appealing for college coaches.

“He’s motivated academically,” Elder said. “Things have happened for him on a different pace than they did for Bryce.

For a big man, Dalton is more advanced than a lot of guys who are his age. Dal-

ton’s ahead of the curve compared to most large high school football players.”

Bryce Wagner was an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 4A All-Stater and a late recruit for SIU. Dalton already is ahead of that. He enjoyed his weekend at Illinois and was impressed by the Fighting Illini staff.

Cary-Grove fullback-linebacker Tyler Pennington also attended Illinois’ Junior Day, although the two McHenry County players have not met.

“It was a really cool experience,” Wagner said. “We sat in coach (Bill) Cubit’s office and he said he wanted to keep Illinois [players] in Illinois. He wants to build them up from the ground and restore the glory, and he offered me a full ride to play there. Trying on the jersey was really cool.”

Wagner also has Junior Day visits set for Louisville (Feb. 20) and Indiana (March 9).

Well-read Gerszewski wrestles well ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Physical training has made Tom Gerszewski a decorated wrestler at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

His career-best 33 victories last season led to a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Association title at 157 pounds and a berth for the first time in his career to the NCAA Division III national championships.

But when Gerszewski, a Crystal Lake South graduate, talks about his biggest improvements, his focus is away from the mat.

“It’s my mental approach,” he said. “We spend tons of time in practice working on the physical stuff.

It’s easy to forget that the mental game is as important, if not more important.”

For Gerszewski, his mental training is thanks in part to hundreds of pages of books that contain stories of people overcoming difficult circumstances, reaching great achievements or taking part in grand adventures.

In mixed martial arts superstar Ronda Rousey’s autobiography, Gerszewski found motivation.

“The way she approaches opponents, I’m really inspired by that,” he said.

The story of British explorer Ernest Shackleton, who led three missions to the Antarctic, features tales of his teams facing great challenges.

“It’s fitting with the cold weather,” Gerszewski said, “that I’m reading that right now.”

From Teddy Roosevelt, our nation’s 26th president, Gerszewski has learned to see life’s playful possibilities.

“He would take his cabinet members or anyone who was visiting on wild adventures,” he said. “One thing I pulled out of that is to have the body of a man and the heart of a boy.”

His readings have made Gerszewski more “mentally aware” and allowed him to ensure his mental and physical preparation are in line.

“When you can go out on the mat and know that you’ve prepared more than any guy you’re going to face, that does a lot,” he said.

Gerszewski is 33-6 this season and ranked No. 8 by D3Wrestle.com in his

Wisconsin-Whitewater wrestler Tom Gerszewski (left), a Crystal Lake South graduate, is 33-6 this season and ranked No. 8 at 165 pounds in Division III. new weight class of 165 pounds. He has won 26 of his past 27 matches and won over some early dissenters.

After losing his first match at the recent Pete Willson-Wheaton Invitational, he won seven matches in a row to earn third place.

“I was cutting (weight) really hard last season to make 157,” he said. “I didn’t want to have to do that again, and I feel a lot better competing now.

People were telling me, ‘165 is not your weight class. You have to go back down.’ But I stayed the course, and I’m glad I did.”

Like the subjects of some of his favorite books, Gerszewski has learned from both his failures and successes.

His offseason approach was impacted greatly by an 18-9 major decision loss that ended his NCAA run last season in the wrestlebacks.

“I got dominated on my feet,” he said. “I knew this summer and this season, I was going to have to pay special attention to the attacks on my feet.”

Gerszewski is especially encouraged by his success – including a 4-0 record this season – at the National Wrestling Coaches Association’s annual National Duals meet.

“That’s been a time when I’ve beaten some pretty good opponents,” he said. “That definitely gives me a lot of confidence.”

Senese shines on ice: Hampshire grad Giovanna Senese has nine goals and 15 assists this season for D-III State University of New York Plattsburgh’s women’s hockey team.

The Cardinals are 18-0 this season and are ranked No. 1 nationally by USCHO.com. The team has won the past two D-III national titles.

Senese, a senior forward, has scored 94 points in 98 career games for the Cardinals.

Matthys honored: Wisconsin-Whitewater sophomore Michaela Matthys was recognized last week as the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women’s Swimmer of the Week by CollegeSwimming.com.

Matthys, a McHenry West grad, won the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 25.23 seconds at a triangular meet last weekend against Lawrence and Lake Forest. She also placed second in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.12) and helped the Warhawks’ 200 freestyle and medley relay teams win both events.

Wildcat contributor Frantti: Spring Grove’s Connor Frantti has two assists this season as a defenseman for D-I Northern Michigan’s men’s hockey team.

A freshman for the Wildcats (99-6), Frantti has played in 15 games and helped the team’s defense allow 2.21 goals a game, which ranks fourth in the 10-team Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

JAZZ 105, BULLS 96 (OT)

Familiar theme continues in 2nd straight road loss

The Bulls’ Derrick Rose drives to the basket past the Jazz’s Trevor Booker in the second quarter Monday in Salt Lake City. to stay.

“We competed,” guard Derrick Rose said of the loss. “We didn’t have discipline on a couple of occasions out there,

countability of their inconsistencies.

“Yeah. It’s on everybody. We watch a lot of film. We watch a lot of film going into these games, each coach is responsible for a scouting report. You spend a lot of time and effort putting the game plan together and it’s very important to go out and do the things that you put together to try and win that game or give yourself the best chance to win that game.”

As far as the final numbers, Butler scored 26 points, and Rose scored 14 on 6-for-21 shooting.

The Bulls have a day off Tuesday, and Rose hinted a players’ only meeting might be coming.

“Over the next couple days I’ll probably take that into consideration,” Rose said.

Sent packing: Mike Dunleavy joined the Santa Cruz Warriors of the D-League on Monday and will begin two days of practice with them Tuesday. If all goes well for the veteran forward, he will rejoin the Bulls on Thursday, and a return plan will be mapped out.

Dunleavy has been sidelined all season after back surgery but has had no setbacks on this second rehab stint.

“I’m pain free,” Dunleavy said.

“I’m feeling good, moving well. A little bit more conditioning to get in game shape.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Kane upbeat after grueling stretch, All-Star break

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com DENVER – About 18 hours or so after he left Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena after the hectic All-Star weekend, Patrick Kane was one of the first Blackhawks on the ice at the University of Denver’s Magness Arena for Monday’s practice.

He didn’t have to be there. It’s an NHL rule for All-Stars.

“Coaching staff didn’t tell me that,” Kane said with a shrug.

But if Kane was feeling run down after following 14 games in 24 days with being the captain of the Central Division’s All-Star team, he wasn’t showing it, saying he felt “surprisingly good.” He looked as sprightly as the rest of his teammates, who all took full advantage of five glorious days off in the midst of a grueling season.

Teammate Andrew Shaw and coach Joel Quenneville each got to Colorado early to get some skiing in – some-

thing that carries a far greater risk for Shaw than Quenneville. Shaw joked that he “took it easy” on the bunny slopes.

“I only heard about it after the fact, thank God,” Quenneville said. “I’ve seen it before, but I don’t like seeing it.”

The All-Star break broke up the Hawks’ Patrick Kane annual ice show trip.

After playing in Colorado, Arizona and Dallas this week, the schedule loosens up considerably. After having only one break of at least two days since Christmas, the Hawks have four such breaks in February, then four more in March. With only 68 days left in the regular season, the home stretch has begun. And the good news is the Hawks are in first place, with the worst behind them.

“This is honestly my favorite part of the year,” Shaw said. “You start

seeing ‘games remaining’ and getting closer and closer to playoff time. It’s always fun to try to see the team make the late push, and it should be entertaining.”

Toews talk: Jonathan Toews is suspended for Tuesday’s game at Colorado because he pulled out of the AllStar game with an illness he’s been battling for more than a week. Quenneville said he’s “progressing” and will join the team in Arizona. Toews could have avoided the suspension had he sat out the last game before the break, a 5-0 loss at Carolina in which he didn’t even play in the third period.

Quenneville said he wasn’t clear on the rule.

“We’ll deal with it,” Quenneville said. “And an extra couple of days can hopefully help him.”

Teuvo Teravainen, who has become the Hawks’ utility man, will center the top line in Toews’ absence.

Rookie in name only: Artemi Panarin leads all rookies with 17 goals, 29 as-

sists and 46 points. He’s also five years older than his nearest competitors, Detroit’s Dylan Larkin and Buffalo’s Jack Eichel. Panarin played parts of seven seasons in the KHL, so he’s hardly a first-year pro, prompting some grumbling from other fan bases as he tightens his grip on the Calder Trophy.

“I don’t really care, these are not my rules,” Panarin said through an interpreter. “I try to follow these rules. Whatever happens, happens.”

Great Scott: Shaw rarely watches the All-Star game, but he tuned in to see John Scott, the unlikely Pacific Division captain who ended up being the MVP of the game.

“I loved it. It was fun to watch,” Shaw said.

Said Kane, who picked a mock fight with his old teammate: “How can you not be happy for the guy? It’s just a dream weekend for him. Probably couldn’t have written that story before if you tried.”

SALT LAKE CITY – The ongoing criticism of the Bulls’ toughness and discipline isn’t going away anytime soon.

After Monday’s 105-96 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz it shouldn’t.

Too many careless moments with the ball, too many late lapses on defense.

And just like that, the good feelings that started this seven-city trip off with a win against the Lakers on Thursday in Los Angeles, were nothing more than distant memories of a team that continues to disconnect from what is being asked of it by the coaching staff.

No wonder the post-game locker room looked like a funeral service. Jimmy Butler spent most of his time with his hands over his eyes, while Taj Gibson sat motionless with a towel draped over his head.

The lack of discipline talk was here

but who knows? It may be something different. We’ll look at film. But we felt like we were supposed to win this game.

“It hurt, but still have a lot of basketball to play of course.”

Rose then was asked whether he was concerned with the direction of a team that is 26-21 more than halfway through the season, and responded, “Nah. I mean you can throw some flags up on some of the games we played, but I think everybody still has the same goal, and that’s to win a championship.’’

There will be some serious hurdles to get over before that. And bigger ones than just scoring three points in the overtime by being loose with the ball, as well as missing key assignments on defense.

It was after the embarrassing loss the Clippers on Sunday in Los Angeles that Butler and Pau Gasol were outspoken about a lack of discipline by players, especially when it came to the defensive end of the court. And that carryover continued.

Coach Fred Hoiberg talked about those comments Monday and thought a good remedy would be for players to first look in the mirror.

“Well, absolutely,” Hoiberg said, when asked whether it was time for the players to start wearing some of the ac-

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway answers a question during Opening Night for Super Bowl 50 on Monday in San Jose, Calif.

SUPER BOWL 50 NOTES

Elway: Replacing Fox with Kubiak worked

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com SAN JOSE, Calif. – John Elway wasn’t gloating, but business is business. Replacing coach John Fox with Gary Kubiak seems to have made the difference.

“This is why we made the decision,” the Broncos general manager said Monday at “Super Bowl Opening Night” at SAP Center. “This was the idea – to get better and get past the first round.

“We had a good regular season, but struggled in the first round. So the idea, the goal – what our owner wants – is to win a championship. That’s why the decision was made last year to go in a different direction. And Gary’s done a tremendous job.”

For the record, the Broncos actually got past the first round in two of Fox’s four seasons – beating the Steelers with Tim Tebow in the 2011 postseason and beating the Chargers and Patriots to reach the Super Bowl with Peyton Manning in the 2013 postseason. The blowout loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII and last year’s home loss to the Colts changed the perception.

But Elway doesn’t think the Broncos’ performance this season should reflect poorly on Fox, who has been to the Super Bowl twice in his career, but lost both times.

“I think John did a great job when he as here – there’s no question,” Elway said. “He won four AFC West championships, so he did a tremendous job.

“It just got to the point where … it was kind of

like we talked about [after the change was made], it was a mutual parting of the ways. He decided that he wanted to go in a different direction and we said, ‘That’s fine, we’ll go in this direction, too.’ I think it worked out for both sides.”

So Fox could have stayed with the Broncos if he wanted?

“We’re not going to get into that,” Elway said.

“That’s what happened, so we agreed that that’s what was going to happen. So we’re not going to look at that.”

Elway said he still has a good relationship with Fox. And he noticed the impact Fox had on the Bears, even though the Bears were 6-10 after finishing 5-11 under Marc Trestman in 2014.

“Yeah, they did make some strides this year,” Elway said. “You never win as many games as you like, but I think you saw a lot of positive strides that they made – they played good defense and Jay Cutler probably had one of the best years he’s had in a while. So they keep him going and continue to get some people around him, they’re going to be a good football team.”

Daniels makes the big time: The Super Bowl has been a long time coming for former Naperville Central star Owen Daniels, who finally made it in his 10th NFL season.

“It means everything,” said Daniels, a twotime Pro Bowl tight end who had two touchdown receptions in the AFC Championship game vs. the Patriots. “Really, why I’m still playing football is to get the opportunity to play in this game.

Ten years is a long wait, but 100 percent worth it.

I’m going to enjoy it and be in the moment and hopefully have a great outcome on Sunday.”

WILL SMITH TO ATTEND NAACP IMAGE AWARDS

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2016

LOS ANGELES – Will Smith doesn’t plan to be at the Academy Awards, but he’s scheduled to attend the NAACP Image Awards. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said the “Concussion” star is among the nominees expected to attend Friday’s ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Southern California.

Smith is up for the outstanding actor in a motion picture trophy alongside Abraham Attah, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael B. Jordan and Michael Ealy. Some of Hollywood’s prominent African Americans, including Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, have said they won’t attend this year’s Oscar ceremony after a second season of all-white acting nominees.

Fall Out Boy announced Monday that they will perform Friday during Verizon’s go90 Live free concert series at The Regency Ballroom. The rock band, which has performed around the Super Bowl in the past, said performing ahead of the big game gives musicians the opportunity to gain new fans.

“People are there and they’re hyped for the Super Bowl, so it’s a chance to win people over, which is awesome,” frontman Pete Wentz said in an interview last week.

Skrillex and country singer Hunter Hayes are also part of the lineup for the go90 Live, which is offering free tickets on a first-come, first-served basis at http://www.go90.com/sanfrancisco. Hunter and Skrillex will perform on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.

Man pleads not guilty in Tracy Morgan crash

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – A truck driver accused of crashing into a limo van carrying comedian Tracy Morgan, injuring him and killing one of his comic friends, pleaded not guilty Monday to aggravated manslaughter and other charges.

Kevin Roper was driving a Wal-Mart truck

when the crash occurred on the New Jersey Turnpike in June 2014.

Roper entered his pleas during an arraignment hearing in New Brunswick. He’s also charged with vehicular homicide and aggravated assault.

Roper’s attorney, David Glassman, has claimed Wal-Mart’s settlement of Morgan’s lawsuit generated publicity that harmed the Jonesboro, Georgia, resident’s chance for a fair trial.

NBC renews deal with prolific producer Dick Wolf

NEW YORK – NBC has signed a new production deal with prolific producer Dick Wolf, ensuring an 18th season of “Law & Order: SVU” and the continuation of his Chicago trilogy of dramas.

The deal, announced Monday, binds Wolf with NBC Universal through 2020, by which time he likely will have more programs on the network’s schedule.

Wolf had seemed close to the end of his run at NBC at the outset of this decade, with the long-running “Law & Order” franchise down to the one show.

But he’s come roaring back with his signature cut-from-the-headlines procedural dramas, this time focusing on Chicago. The deal promises a second season of the newest drama, “Chicago Med.” NBC had earlier renewed “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” NBC said Wolf also is developing a fourth series, “Chicago Law.” He’s also at work on a reality series, “Law & Order: You the Jury,” where the audience decides the verdict in a court case.

NEW YORK – Fox’s live production of “Grease” fought rain, wind and personal tragedy to emerge a winner, with its audience of 12.2 million people eclipsing viewership for the past two musicals presented on NBC. The Nielsen company said Fox’s audience was more than three times what the network typically gets for a Sunday night. “ ‘Grease’ is so much about joy and energy and youth,” said Marc Platt, one of the show’s producers, on Monday. “We decided we wanted to throw a big party to celebrate that and invite everyone and that’s what we did, and it turned out well for everybody.”

There was so much wind and rain a few hours before the start that producers were told that a major part of the set – the facade of Rydell High – would not be able to be used because it was unsafe. They scrambled to redo the affected scenes, but shortly before starting it was deemed safe to go ahead with the original plans.

The dampness was evident during the opening scene of singer Jessie J singing “Grease,” as she walked on wet pavement and people carried umbrellas

Greg Hudgens died of cancer the night before the show.

There wasn’t any question that Vanessa Hudgens would go on with the show, Platt said. Good thing – she had no understudy.

The enormous production featured 21 sets across two soundstages and the back lot of Warner Brothers studio; actors were shuttled from scene to scene in carts that were shown during the closing number. There was a live audience of 650 people who also served as extras.

“It was an extremely ambitious undertaking with all the logistics of the many stages, the live audience going in and out of stages and the actors moving around,” Platt said. “It really went off fabulously well.”

Digital assistant showdown Siri vs. Cortana vs. ‘OK Google’: Who’s better, who’s best

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Cortana’s learning the neighborhood. Google’s digital assistant can’t tell a joke. And Siri apparently has a thing for the metric system.

Those are just a few of the things I learned after staging a face-off between the three leading digital assistants. Apple’s Siri and “OK Google” – they’re not big on personification at Google – are now standard on smartphones; Microsoft recently added its Cortana service to Windows 10, so it works on PCs, too.

Now that just about anyone can talk to their phone or computer, we wanted to see what happens when you try.

Though none of the assistants are perfect, they do have distinct personalities, even if they’re just deliberate artifacts of their creators.

I asked the same 10 questions of each service, using an iPhone with Siri, a Nexus phone with Android’s “OK Google” and a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet with Cortana.

Information, please

First up: Some basic factual questions. All three did pretty well when asked, “What’s it like outside?”

Cortana earned extra points for answering with a spoken weather report. Google and Siri each showed a screen image that listed current conditions and a forecast.

All three supplied President Obama’s age. When asked “What’s his wife’s name?” they all remembered the question referred to the president, and correctly identified the First Lady: Michelle Obama.

Similarly, they all knew the length of the Golden Gate Bridge.

But for some reason, Siri answered in meters, while Cortana and Google stuck to feet.

At your service

Next came more complicated tasks, such as finding the nearest pharmacy. Google and Siri listed three within a half-mile of The Associated Press bureau in downtown San Francisco. But neither mentioned the drug store on the ground

Bailey staged a face-off between the three leading digital assistants. floor of the building where the bureau is located. Cortana did.

Posing questions is hungry work.

I asked for help making a lunch reservation at Credo, a fancy restaurant around the corner. Siri and Cortana were stumped, but Google automatically fired up the Open Table app on the Nexus phone, with the form already filled out to make a reservation. Too bad the place is so trendy; it was booked for weeks.

Ever feel like ducking work to catch an afternoon movie? (Shhh!

Don’t tell my editor.) All three assistants had local movie listings at their digital fingertips. But Siri led off with a new release at a theater just half a mile from the AP bureau. With a couple of taps, Siri had opened Fandango, an app that lets you buy tickets online.

Google also connected with Fandango. Cortana had more trouble;

pre-load each service with humorous answers to predictable questions.

Google doesn’t bother with such frills. Sticking to its search-engine roots, “OK Google” answered the “2001” question by silently presenting a series of Internet links, starting Just for laughs with one for a YouTube clip from the Finally, a personality test. I challenged each to tell a joke. Siri had the movie.

Likewise, when asked about the best answer: “If I told you a joke in meaning of life, Siri and Cortana my language, I’d have to explain it.” were both ready with a quip. Google Then I tried the famous line from just recited a dry definition that only “2001: A Space Odyssey” in which a biologist could love: “Life is the astronaut Dave Bowman tells the condition that distinguishes animals ship’s computer: “Open the pod bay and plants from inorganic matter. ...” doors.” Cortana knows the right answer: “I’m sorry Dave.

The creators of Siri and And Cortana is quickly catching up Cortana thought it would be fun to to both of them.

Microsoft lags behind Apple and Google in the number of apps that work with its software, and I couldn’t get the right Fandango app to load on a Surface tablet.

Microsoft is buying the educational version of Minecraft and has plans to create a bigger and better version of the popular world-building video game that’s designed for classrooms.

The Redmond, Washington, software company will partner with TeacherGaming LLC, creator of MinecraftEdu, to transform that game into “Minecraft: Education Edition.” Financial terms were not disclosed.

Microsoft says the new version will add and expand features intended to make the game classroom friendly, including better maps and coordinates that will help teachers and students find their way around a Minecraft world together. Developers also will beef up the game’s multi-player capabilities so a classroom of up to 40 kids can work together.

The game lets players explore, fight monsters and build surprisingly complex structures – even electrical circuits – out of blocks. You could easily use it to teach math, said Deirdre Quaranstrom, Microsoft’s director of Minecraft education. But kids also could explore ancient temples in the game for a history class or view the inside of an eyeball as part of a

science lesson.

Perks for educators include an online community for connecting teachers experienced with Minecraft to those new to it.

The new game will be available this summer, with free trials available for teachers and students. Microsoft will announce pricing details before the end of the current school year, but says it plans to keep the price at $5 per user per year.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

What happens when the queen is beaten?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Carlin, a comedian, actor and author who died in 2008, said, “If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.”

Today’s North-South hands, the contract of three no-trump and West’s lead of the spade five are the same as yesterday’s. Then, when declarer played dummy’s queen, it held the trick. Today, East takes the queen with his ace and returns the spade 10 (high from a remaining doubleton). How should South plan the play?

Declarer starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. A ninth trick is sure to come from clubs or might appear from hearts if the suit splits 3-3.

First, declarer should duck the second trick to cut the communications between the defenders. After East wins that trick and leads a third spade, how should South continue?

East’s carding implies that spades are 5-3, not 4-4. So declarer must strain to keep West off the lead.

After winning the third spade, South plays off his top hearts, hoping for a 3-3 break. When that does not work, declarer should cash his club ace and king, not take the finesse. Here, the queen drops, and South is home with an overtrick. But if the club queen does not appear, declarer leads a third club, hoping that East has to win the trick. It is an example of avoidance play.

Finally, note that if South had played dummy’s spade six at trick one, East would have put in his 10, not won with the ace. When dummy has a queen or king like this, East should (almost always) keep his ace to squash that high honor.

comes uncommon – simply because the immunized people can’t catch it, and therefore can’t spread it.

Herd immunity helps to protect: • Small children, especially infants, who either are too young to be immunized or haven’t had enough doses to be fully protected.

• People who have problems with their immune systems, many of whom can’t get vaccines, and all of whom are more susceptible to infections.

Herd immunity works when enough people are immunized. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends adults get a Tdap vaccine (which protects against pertussis, along with tetanus and diphtheria) in place of one of their regular tetanus boosters (the Td shot that is recommended for adults every 10 years).

You can get the Tdap vaccine no matter when you last received a Td shot. Getting vaccinated with Tdap at least two weeks before coming into close contact with an infant is especially important.

By getting a Tdap vaccine, you’ll be helping to keep your grandkids healthy. Even though that’s the main message of this column, it is worth remembering we adults also need protection against the germs spread by children. I once caught what I think was whooping cough from a child who was visiting us. I had not gotten a Tdap vaccine.

I have since corrected that error. Whooping cough is no fun.

if I get a booster shot for pertussis, it will help protect his kids from getting whooping cough. That seems far-fetched to me.

Dear Reader: It’s not far-fetched. Even if you were immunized against pertussis (the bacteria that cause whooping cough) as a child, you might need a booster shot.

Why? Because pertussis is highly contagious, and without a booster shot you are at some risk for getting it. And if you get it, you could pass it on to your grandkids.

Whooping cough got its name because the bacterial infection causes violent coughing. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and produces a deep “whooping” sound.

Pertussis can occur at any age. If infants and young children get it, they are particularly at risk to become seriously ill.

When I went to medical school, a vaccine for pertussis was radically reducing the number of cases. It was another example of how infectious diseases were going away because of vaccines. The vaccine has, indeed, made a huge difference. But vaccines work only if people take them, and not every vaccine offers lifetime protection.

Unfortunately, many people resist getting vaccines, and the protective effects of the pertussis vaccine tend to decline over time. As a result, the number of pertussis cases in the United States has increased in recent years.

There were about 17,000 reported cases in 2009; in 2014, there were nearly 33,000 cases.

To keep kids healthy, adults need to get immunized, too. That’s because of something called “herd immunity.” When enough people are immunized against a disease, it be-

neighbors are unable to properly care for their grandson’s dog, they shouldn’t have it. A dog is a responsibility – the animal needs feeding, exercise, social contact and to be cleaned up after. To shirk that responsibility is cruel.

It would not be offensive to inform these neighbors the odor and flies from their dog run are so overwhelming they prevent you from enjoying your patio.

Speak up, or they’ll think you haven’t noticed. If this continues, call animal control or a pet rescue group.

Dear Abby: I have been in a rocky relationship for 10 months, and I’m not sure how to get out. I have tried multiple times to leave, but every time I tell her, she begs me not to, says horrible things and threatens to kill herself. She says she’ll never be happy again, I “al-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ways do this” and it hurts her so much. It makes me feel so bad I just give in and give her what she wants.

She doesn’t trust me. I have to give her all of my passwords, and she checks my phone daily. She has to know everything I’m doing, and if I don’t tell her, look out! The next world war is going to happen. I have told her many times if she can’t trust me, there’s no way we can be together because it will make a miserable life for both of us.

Her constant worrying whether I’m going to leave her is starting to get to me.

I really can’t take this any more. I have considered some extreme things to get out because I’m so unhappy, and I know she is, too.

I have tried everything.

Please help me. – Stuck In

Her insecurities are a bottomless pit. You have described a hostage relationship, not a loving one.

So pack your things and get out of there now. If she threatens suicide and you know how to contact her family, alert them after you have gone. But do not pause, do not explain and do not look back. Your safety and your sanity depend on it.

Dear Abby: We recently bought a new home and have discovered our elderly neighbors are caring for their grandson’s dog. The dog lives in a 3-by-6-foot area right next to our patio.

The poor animal receives little attention and is rarely cleaned up after. As a consequence, our patio reeks of dog feces, and we are overwhelmed by flies.

I feel bad for the couple, and I resent the grandson for allowing his dog to be neglected and for failing to have any consideration for the stench that makes our patio off-limits to us.

How can I politely ask my new neighbors to clean up after their dog so we can enjoy our new home without offending them or creating a bad neighbor situation? – “Shoo Fly” In
