St. Joseph school needs $300,000 to remain open, diocese says

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The 100th year for St. Joseph Catholic School in Harvard could be its last.

A decline in enrollment, low funds, the downturn of the economy and demographic shifts have all played factors in leading to where the school stands today – with an enrollment of about 60 students and the need for about $300,000 just to keep the school going another year, said Penny Wiegert, director of communications for the Diocese of Rockford.

Despite financial troubles, some St. Joseph parents are feeling “blindsided” by the announcement that the school could close as early as the end of this school Steven Clarke year.

“This isn’t St. Joseph Catholic something that’s Church pastor done overnight,” Wiegert said.

“And it certainly is not final.”

Wiegert said the Diocese of Rockford, which the school is a part of, is in the process of looking at the “very stark reality” that exists with St. Joseph school.

Parish and school administrators will meet with people from the diocese before any decision is made, Wiegert said. The final decision would lie with the Diocese of Rockford Bishop David Malloy, she said.

There is not a particular time set on when the decision will be made, Wiegert said, but she expects it would be made before the school had to set a budget for the next school year.

The whole diocese is undergoing a strategic planning process for schools

‘‘

It’s a shame to lose something like this school … but if it’s to save the whole body, which is the parish, that’s kind of what we have to do.”

right now to get a handle on what the needs are in all 11 counties the diocese serves, she said.

Although many said there had been rumors of the school closing for years, the official word from the diocese that

they were reviewing the school came at a meeting Feb. 16, called by a group of parents who wrote a letter to Malloy, parent Jen Garafol said.

Garafol’s 10-year-old son, Logan, is in fourth grade at St. Joseph and has been

going there since preschool.

She said she was shocked when they heard at the meeting, which was attended by Rockford Diocese Superintendent of Schools Michael Kagan, that the school could close in the coming year.

“You’ve got people willing to help, but we don’t know what to do because we’ve never been told what we need,” Garafol said.

The small class size – two grade levels are combined per class – and education that St. Joseph provides are part of the reason why Garafol continues to send her son there, she said.

LOCAL BRIEF Marengo police search for missing teen girl

MARENGO – Police are investigating after a 15-year-old Marengo-area girl was reported missing after she left school Monday in the middle of the day.

Marengo Police Sgt. Rodney Riley said Hailey Andrzejewski walked out of school about 12:30 p.m., which would have been after fifth period.

A sophomore at Marengo Community High School, Andrzejewski was described by police to be 5-foot-2 and 145 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing brown Ugg boots, a black Northface jacket, and a backpack with a flower pattern background, Riley said, adding a family member reported her missing about 3:45 p.m.

Monday.

Police are investigating the case, but Riley said he did not have further information Wednesday night. He added that if anybody sees Andrzejewski or knows anything about her whereabouts, they should call the Marengo Police Department at 815-568-7231.

Sue Draffkorn McHenry County Board District 4 incumbent first elected in 2002

Kay Bates McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce president

Craig Wilcox Retired Air Force colonel with an MBA and two master’s degrees in military-related fields

3 candidates vie for 2 seats in County Board District 4

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A McHenry County Board veteran and two challengers are running for two seats on the board’s District 4.

Board veteran Sue Draffkorn of Wonder Lake and challengers Kay Bates and Craig Wilcox, both of McHenry, are running in the March 15 primary to represent the district.

District 4 covers the northeast corner of McHenry County, including Richmond, Burton and most of McHenry townships and all or parts of McHenry, Johnsburg, Wonder Lake, McCullom Lake, Richmond and Spring Grove.

Wilcox is a retired Air Force colonel with an MBA and two master’s degrees in military-related fields. He said one of his main goals will be to find ways to reduce county government’s tax levy rather than just keep it flat.

If county government does it, he said, then voters can point to it as an example for their other local taxing bodies to follow. He called the local property tax burden the “single most destructive trend in our county.”

“The current County Board has maintained a flat levy for four years – and cut the $3 million portion going to Valley Hi [Nursing Home] this year – and reduced staff, and I will be strong proponent for taking the next step, and finding additional ways to develop reduced levies in the coming years,” Wilcox said. “County Board members can then provide leadership and voter advocacy by representing a strong fiscally conservative position and addressing other tax-levying bodies and encouraging they follow the example

Bates, who is president of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, said the county needs to invest in infrastructure and develop a jobs plan to keep and attract young talent in McHenry County.

One of the county’s biggest population drops has been in the critical 25-to-44 age bracket.

“The older young professional who is starting a family must see himself as upwardly mobile in McHenry County,” Bates said. “Amenities are nice, but it is meaningful job opportunities that keep people in an area. Without better job opportunities in the county, I fear we will continue to see top young talent leave, as two of mine have.”

Draffkorn, first elected in 2002, pointed to her routine votes to keep the tax levy flat, and agreed that infrastructure is the county’s weakest spot when it comes to attracting high-paying jobs and helping bring down local property taxes.

Draffkorn has a business degree and is bookkeeper for The Church of Holy Apostles in McHenry. “[Voting to keep the levy flat] speaks louder than simple talk of reducing property taxes,” Draffkorn said. “The County Board can act as an example to the many other elected boards in the county. I encourage all taxpayers to be involved with

their local governments from townships to school boards. Find out who your representatives are and encourage them to hold the line on property taxes.”

While infrastructure are priorities to both Draffkorn and Bates, all three candidates are split on two major proposed improvements in various stages of planning.

Draffkorn strongly supports the initiative to widen Randall Road and improve its intersection with Algonquin Road, and supports the plan for an interchange at Route 23 and Interstate 90, which would give the county its first local access to an interstate. But her challengers have differing opinions.

Neither Wilcox nor Bates support the Randall Road project – Wilcox points to the county’s declining population, while Bates said the expensive project will not result in new business, new tax revenue or even an adequate reduction in travel time.

But while Wilcox remains unconvinced that the interchange, and the industrial hub that Marengo envisions for it, will be a jobs or economic panacea, Bates supports the project as a needed economic jump-start.

Bates said good planning and restraint on the part of local governments will keep Route 23 from turning into another Randall Road, as some opponents fear.

No Democratic candidates have filed in District 4, meaning the two Republican primary winners will run unopposed in November, unless the Democratic Party gathers signatures and caucuses in a candidate after the primary.

District 4 representative Robert Martens Sr., R-Spring Grove, is not seeking re-election.

Judge scolds man for swearing while in court on heroin charges

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An Algonquin man facing felony heroin charges was scolded by a McHenry County judge Wednesday after he swore at a family member of the woman he was arrested with.

Paul S. Benzinger was in court to set a date for a preliminary hearing after McHenry County Paul S. Sheriff’s police said they Benzinger seized more than $3,200 worth of heroin during a five-month investigation and a search of the home where he lived with Heather Vasil, 23, in the 1000 block of Oak Lane.

The couple face Class X felony

charges of delivering a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, along with a litany of other felony and misdemeanor drug charges and misdemeanor endangering the life of a child.

As he was being led out of the courtroom, Benzinger, 28, swore at a woman in the back, prompting Judge Michael Feetterer to bring him back into the courtroom.

“Where do you think you are?” Feetterer Heather asked.

L. Vasil Benzinger responded that a woman sitting in the courtroom had “flipped him off and mouthed off” to him.

Benzinger is being held in McHenry County Jail on $39,000 bond. Feetterer

“Don’t ever use that language in my courtroom again.”

Michael Feetterer McHenry County judge

said that if Benzinger was not already in jail, he would have cited him for contempt of court and sent him to jail for 30 days.

“Don’t ever use that language in my courtroom again,” Feetterer said.

Benzinger is next due in court at 9 a.m. Friday.

Meanwhile, Feetterer set Vasil’s case for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m.

March 9. She is being held in McHenry County Jail on $32,500 bond.

Village advances contract that could include demolition of Franke House Officials to take vote on project Tuesday

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Committee of the Whole on Tuesday moved forward a proposal for demolition of two structures in downtown Algonquin that includes an option for demolishing the historic Franke House in case no one is able or chosen to relocate it.

The Franke House at 103 W. Algonquin Road, which most recently housed a psychic reader, was constructed in 1911.

The village opened bids for purchase and relocation of the house earlier this month.

The village used eminent domain to acquire the property as part of a larger area targeted for redevelopment, Community Development Director Russ Farnum said earlier this month.

The village’s Downtown Revitalization Plan says the southeast corner of Main Street and Algonquin Road “should be combined and redeveloped for new restaurant, retail and/or service uses, with parking located to the rear of stores and shops.”

Tim Public Works Direc- Schloneger tor Bob Mitchard presented a contract with Barrington’s Langos Corp. to demolish the two structures behind the house for $11,000.

If the village is unable to reach an agreement for someone to relocate the Franke House, there is a change order

that would come to the Village Board to demolish it for an extra $16,000.

At the meeting, Village Manager Tim Schloneger said a number of the house’s historical trimmings are currently stored in the public works facility and would be saved if the house is demolished.

Proposals to buy and move the house are open until April 30.

According to the request for proposals, applicants will need to provide a descriptive plan and timeline for relocation, the property where the home will be relocated, its intended use, and proof of the financial ability to complete the project, among other things.

Farnum said officials would prefer to keep the structure in the Algonquin Old Town District but would consider other proposals.

The contract will officially be voted on Tuesday.

Funding from the parish comes at a cost – St. Joseph’s Pastor Steven Clarke said covering the majority of the school’s costs means the parish is not spending as much money as it should on the 250 children it has enrolled in religious education classes.

“It’s just very sad,” Clarke said.

dents to another school, possibly St. Mary Catholic School in Woodstock, would be discussed.

About 50 percent of the students attending St. Joseph receive tuition assistance from the St. Joseph parish, Wiegert said.

She said in the 2014-15 school year, tuition and fundraising brought in about $160,000 to the school, which takes about $426,000 to operate yearly.

“Unfortunately, a lot of the families are not able to pay what they should be paying and we’ve tried to help them out ... but we just can’t continue that way.”

Clarke said if the school does close, the parish would be able to use the school building, which Wiegert said has a capacity of about 240 people.

In response to whether people should have been made aware sooner of the potential fate of the school, Clarke said people have always been aware of the “very difficult situation” of the school.

“It’s a shame to lose something like this school … but if it’s to save the whole body, which is the parish, that’s kind of what we have to do,” Clarke said. “And that’s the only reason we would do it.”

Jason Brincks has one daughter who has graduated from St. Joseph and three children currently attending. He also was a St. Joseph graduate in the late 1980s and said he was “disappointed and saddened” by the news that the school might close.

Brincks said while he understands the business side of the school facing closure, the disappointment comes from the decision to wait to announce it when the school has been suffering financially for more than five years.

“Basically, it’s we don’t have an option,” Brincks said. “We don’t have a way to fight for it.”

Principal Frank Shields said there has been a possibility of the school closing for many years. Even so, he said it would’ve been nice for the diocese to give the parents, five teachers and other staff who work at the school earlier notice of the potential closure.

This is Shields’ first year as principal for the school, and he said as of now, they still are registering students for next year and planning to be open.

“We ask if there is going to be a decision one way or another, we need to have that decision as soon as possible,” Shields said.

WOODSTOCK

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge on Wednesday denied a new trial for a Wisconsin man who was convicted of his eighth DUI after an incident in Spring Grove.

Michael Tatera, 54, of West Allis, Wisconsin, appeared before Judge Sharon Prather with Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos a little more than a month after a jury found Tatera

guilty of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol.

Tatera was stopped by Spring Grove police and evaluated for signs of impairment after they observed him driving around barricades and through a closed road in the village’s downtown area, prosecutors have said.

Mourelatos first asked Prather to disregard the jury’s verdict and find Tatera not guilty based on the notion that the state did not have enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reason-

able doubt. Because Tatera did not submit to them, prosecutors did not have field sobriety tests or a breathalyzer to present.

He argued for a new trial based on a statement from Assistant State’s Attorney John Michael Gibbons in closing arTatera guments. Gibbons was quoted as asking the jury why Tatera didn’t take the tests if he wasn’t guilty.

Prather disagreed with Mourelatos in both instances. She said Gibbons’ question was proper because it aligns with prosecutors’ rights to argue consciousness of guilt in DUI cases.

Prosecutors have said because Tatera has been convicted in seven previous DUI offenses in Wisconsin, the local conviction is considered a Class X felony, which carries a sentence of six to 30 years in prison.

His sentencing hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. March 10.

agoodrich@shawmedia.com Justices in an appellate court ruled that vests and embroidered patches confiscated after a bar fight in Wonder Lake do not have to be returned to the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, according to an opinion filed Tuesday.

The ruling from the 2nd District Appellate Court in Elgin, delivered by Justice Mary Seminara-Schostok, was in line with that of a McHenry County judge, who found the vests and patches to be “contraband in that they were used by members of the Outlaws to facilitate street-gang activity,” court documents say.

Three vests with patches were seized from Outlaws members after their November 2012 arrest from a bar fight at the Lizard Lounge in Wonder Lake. Defendants Luciano Flores,

Kathleen McKevitt and Robert Bellmore agreed to hand them over to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office as part of a plea deal on battery charges.

The Outlaws unsuccessfully attempted to claim the vests and patches before the state filed a complaint for forfeiture, according to court documents.

The defense for the Outlaws has said there was no connection between the vests and the violence, arguing the vests simply show affiliation and did not cause the violence, documents show.

However, Schostok in Tuesday’s ruling cited testimony from a detective, who said the vests with patches on them facilitated, not caused, gang-related activity by identifying those people as Outlaws members and creating “the impression of dominance and revenge.”

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com The 28-year-old Beach Park woman who was reported missing Tuesday was found unconscious in her vehicle in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

Danielle Schultz, who has ties to Crystal Lake and Huntley, was last seen about 9 p.m. Monday when she left her residence in the 38700 block of north Sheridan Road after making comments about threatening to harm herself, according to a news release from Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli.

In an update that came about 5 p.m. Wednesday, Covelli said Schultz was found unconscious, but breathing, inside her vehicle, which was parked in a lot on the 2700 block of Alford Park Drive in Kenosha.

E

Police had been scouring the areas in Lake County where she lived, as well as Kenosha where she worked.

“Just after 3 p.m., she was located by an acquaintance of hers who happened to be driving by,” Covelli said, adding, “She saw a car that looked like Danielle’s. She approached the car and saw Danielle inside.”

Schultz was taken Danielle to Kenosha Hospital Schultz in critical, but stable condition, Covelli said, adding he couldn’t elaborate on the details of her condition.

She left without her cellphone, purse or wallet, and was wearing a pink bathrobe and no shoes, police said.

They also believe she left without her medication.

LOCAL BRIEFS Woodstock pedestrian cited for being drunk after being hit by car

WOODSTOCK – Police say a Woodstock man who was hit by a vehicle Friday was drunk and did not use a crosswalk while crossing the street.

The Woodstock Police Department responded at 6:13 p.m. to reports that a pedestrian had been hit at Lake Avenue and Route 47, according to a department news release.

Police said 60-year-old Robert E. Weimer was trying to cross Lake Avenue about 25 feet west of Route 47.

“There were stopped vehicles pointing eastbound on Lake and he stepped between two cars right into the path of a turning vehicle,” Woodstock Deputy Police Chief John Lieb said.

The vehicle, driven by a 28-year-old woman from Huntley, was turning left off Route 47 onto Lake Avenue when it struck Weimer, according to the release.

Police said the driver tried to avoid Weimer and immediately stopped and rendered aid to him after the crash.

Weimer was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, and the driver was not cited in the incident, police said.

Weimer was issued two citations: one for being an intoxicated pedestrian in the road and one for not using a crosswalk.

He is expected in McHenry County

court at 8:30 a.m. March 25.

D-158 teacher saves choking student

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Jackie Farr will always be grateful that Lynn Petryniec happened to have lunch duty on Jan. 28.

That was the day a small piece of a Cheez-It prematurely slipped down her daughter’s throat, got caught and blocked her airway.

Sixth-grader Emma Farr of Algonquin sat choking on the cracker while a friend, sixth-grader Melanie Taranis, ran to get help from Petryniec, who works at Heineman Middle School as a Spanish teacher and volleyball and basketball coach.

“We rotate lunch duty every two weeks, and it happened to be my week,” Petryniec said. “I went over and asked if she could cough it out and she shook her head.

“I asked if she could breathe, and she shook her head again.”

She helped Emma stand, put her arms around her and gave “two solid pumps” before the Cheez-It flew out and Emma took a big breath.

Petryniec was recognized at the most recent Huntley School District 158 Board meeting, where district officials called her actions heroic.

“Mrs. P. made a beeline and physically rolled up her sleeves and gets behind [Emma],” Heineman Principal James Litchfield said, referring to a cafeteria camera feed he watched after the incident.

For Petryniec, it happened too fast to really absorb until after the fact.

“I went over there and did the Heimlich, not thinking much about it,” she said. “Then I got back up to my room after lunch, sat down and realized that I was shaking.”

For Litchfield, the incident serves as motivation to pursue opportunities to train all teachers in basic life-saving

Child welfare agency files plan to improve

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The state’s troubled child welfare agency has submitted an improvement plan to a judge that details more oversight, pilot programs and training, things that officials said Wednesday will “help transform” the system that serves thousands of Illinois children.

The Department of Children and Family Services filed the plan late Tuesday. It’s part of a decades-old consent decree to improve conditions and follows a lawsuit last year from the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois that alleged “dangerously inadequate” care and subsequent suggestions from outside experts.

Problems at the agency, where there have been eight directors in five years, have been well publicized in court documents, legislative panels and news reports. They include deficient care for

Chicago State to end school year early to save money

CHICAGO – Chicago State University has told students and faculty that it was eliminating spring break and shortening the semester because it might have to close down because of a lack of funding amid the prolonged stalemate over a state budget.

In a memo to faculty and students on Tuesday, university President Thomas Calhoun said the spring semester will end April 28, when graduation ceremonies will take place. It had been scheduled to end May 13.

“These changes are occurring to fulfill the university’s commitment to students regarding the completion of the semester,” Calhoun wrote.

Illinois’ public universities and community colleges haven’t received state money since last summer because of the budget stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the General Assembly.

Senior Charles Preston told WLS-TV that he had already made plans for the

“We’re pleased with the final product and are confident that the plan will help to transform the child welfare system in Illinois and lead to better outcomes for the children and families we serve for years to come.”

Andrew Flach DCFS spokesman

juveniles suffering from mental health problems, lengthy waiting lists for children who need specialized placements and long stays in temporary shelters.

The ACLU helped negotiate the reforms, which have a more community-based approach than years past and

spring break, having bought a plane ticket to Florida to visit his girlfriend.

“I’m very angry,” Preston said. “This is the sacrifices the university has to do in an effort for it to still exist.”

The university is trying to come up with ways to save money for the next school year, Calhoun said.

“We’re looking at how to be efficient in the summer,” he said. “We have a number of buildings on campus that are really minimally used, we can close those.”

Calhoun has declined to say exactly when the 148-year-old university would run out of money to pay its employees.

But university officials have indicated it could be as soon as March. The university has many low-income students.

In January, Rauner contended that Chicago State was “throwing money down the toilet” and was unwilling to make reforms.

In a letter addressed to Rauner, Calhoun replied that the school has cut both its workforce and administrative costs.

Illinois moves to paperless licenses for professionals

CHICAGO – Illinois will no longer send paper renewal notices and paper licenses to professionals in a move to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation announced Tuesday that paperless licensing is

will be put in place over six months.

The overhaul includes more standardized monitoring to help determine whether children are doing better and steps to find permanent living arrangements for adolescents who enter state custody at age 12 or older, including reconnecting them with birth families. Other changes involve additional training and coaching for front-line workers and supervisors.

“We’re pleased with the final product and are confident that the plan will help to transform the child welfare system in Illinois and lead to better outcomes for the children and families we serve for years to come,” DCFS spokesman Andrew Flach said.

One goal of the plan is reducing the time that state wards, especially those with serious emotional or behavioral problems, stay at residential centers by moving them into foster care more quickly. Foster parents participating in the test program, which will start

in Cook, Kane and Winnebago counties, face stricter requirements, such as at least one foster parent won’t be allowed to work outside the home and no more than two children will be placed in a home.

There’ll also be regular assessments to see how the proposed changes are working, including unannounced and off-hour visits to facilities by monitors.

Agency Director George Sheldon streamlined departments last year at DCFS, which serves about 14,500 children, as a way to ensure more collaboration on cases, particularly for troubled children.

ACLU of Illinois officials called the reforms outlined in the 50-page document an important step.

“This plan is a road map for improving conditions and services for families in Illinois, but the hard work remains ahead in implementation,” legal director Ben Wolf said in a statement.

estimated to save nearly $3 million in postage, paper and printing costs during the next five years.

Illinois professionals including pharmacists, optometrists and real estate brokers are being encouraged to renew their licenses electronically, rather than by mail.

Most professionals already use a credit or debit card to renew their licenses online. But the department estimated 10 percent to 20 percent of license renewals are sent with a check and a paper application.

Licensees are urged to visit the department’s online address change website to provide a current email address.

in the courts, the victim stopped cooperating with them.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported prosecutors called out in court Wednesday to see if anyone representing the victim was there and when no one responded, they told a judge they were moving to dismiss the charge. McCormack wasn’t present.

Charge dismissed against former Chicago priest

CHICAGO – Cook County prosecutors have dropped an aggravated criminal sexual abuse charge against a former Chicago priest because the alleged victim stopped cooperating.

They dismissed the charge Wednesday against Daniel McCormack, who pleaded guilty to multiple child sex abuse charges in 2007 and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was removed from the priesthood.

McCormack also was arrested in 2014 in a 2005 case involving a 10-year-old alleged victim at a West Side parish, but prosecutors said as the case progressed

Law book used by Lincoln obtained by museum

SPRINGFIELD – A law book used

by Abraham Lincoln has been reunited with a partner edition at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.

Officials said the book is the second of a three-volume set called “A Treatise on the Law of Evidence” by Simon Greenleaf. The library and museum owns the first volume. The whereabouts of the third remain a mystery.

The Montana Historical Society donated the book. It obtained it in 1927 from a Helena resident whose father had bought it years earlier.

The book is signed “Lincoln & Herndon” in the hand of Lincoln’s law partner, William Herndon. The firm, which later changed its name, closed in 1909.

Officials say Lincoln considered “Treatise” important, listing it as a mustread in two surviving letters to aspiring attorneys.

Cars exit the parking lot of a Goya food building Tuesday in an industrial park near the the Florida Everglades in Miami. Years before his Republican presidential bid, Marco Rubio pushed Miami-Dade County officials to allow a major industrial development to be built on restricted land near the Florida Everglades.

That was two months after he backed a law as a member of the Florida Legislature that made it harder for people to challenge the kinds of developments he advocated for as a private attorney.

Rubio pushed for land deal as he backed law limiting critics The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Marco Rubio stood before Miami-Dade County officials in May 2002 and pushed them to permit a multimillion-dollar industrial development to be built on restricted land near the Florida Everglades.

Two months earlier, Rubio – a rising Republican star in the state Legislature – backed a law that made it harder for people to challenge the kinds of developments he advocated for as a private attorney. Around the same period, Rubio also reMarco Rubio quested state money to be earmarked to benefit a flood-prone area around the development project.

Those efforts by Rubio, now a U.S. senator and the leading establishment alternative to GOP presidential rivals Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, provide a glimpse into how he handled the intersection of his public role as a young lawmaker and his private representation of a company that stood to benefit from his political connections.

There’s no evidence Rubio violated Florida ethics rules. But his seat in Tallahassee, the state capital, put him in the position of advocating before a county commission that relied on lawmakers like him to fight for state money.

“I always had a problem when legislators would lobby at the county commission, because you always felt like if you didn’t vote their way, does this mean we’ll lose funds in

Tallahassee?” said Katy Sorenson, a former county commissioner and Democrat.

The commission approved the application for the plan near the Everglades, though Sorenson voted against it because it would have required moving the so-called urban development boundary, an important safeguard that protected agriculture and the local water supply. That boundary was established in the 1970s, and the county considers periodic requests to move it.

Todd Harris, a senior adviser for Rubio’s presidential campaign, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Rubio never lobbied in the traditional sense because that was illegal under state law.

But Harris said the part-time nature of Florida’s Legislature meant that “virtually every legislator makes their living from outside employment.”

“Marco did not gain personally from this, or any other, vote because his compensation was not tied to any other specific project,” Harris wrote in response to detailed questions from the AP, noting the law firm Rubio worked for was paid a standard retainer for its work.

Rubio’s 2002 request to the county involved Pan American, a Miami company owned by well-known real estate developer Carlos C. Lopez-Cantera. He wanted to build a project – then known as Shoppyland – west of the city, but environmental critics said it was too close to an important water source.

Lopez-Cantera did not respond to detailed phone messages left with his staff at Pan American’s offices on Monday and Tuesday.

Storms hit East Coast; death toll at 6

By LARRY O’DELL and MAX BECHERER The Associated Press

WAVERLY, Va. – A powerful storm system swept across the East Coast on Wednesday, killing three people in Virginia and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the region.

A day earlier, the system spawned about two dozen tornadoes along the Gulf Coast, damaging hundreds of homes in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. Three people were killed and dozens were injured.

Forecasters had warned that more than 88 million people were at risk of seeing some sort of severe weather Wednesday. In the Midwest, heavy snow and biting winds led to mass flight cancellations at Chicago airports and school closings in several states.

In Virginia, Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency Wednesday evening. The tiny farming town of Waverly in the state’s peanut-growing region took the brunt of the storm. The Virginia State Police said at least five structures were damaged in the town of about 2,000.

The names of the victims were not released, but state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said in a statement that they were a 2-year-old child and two men, ages 50 and 26. She said their bodies were found about 300 yards from their mobile home.

Roads leading into the town had to be closed because of downed trees and debris tossed by winds gusting to 60 mph, Geller said. A 7:30 p.m. curfew was imposed so search and rescue teams could go door to door checking on people.

Witnesses said the storm swept through Waverly with little warning.

Timothy Williams said a friend had just come by to take his new car for a drive when the storm hit.

“It picked the car right off the ground, and put it right back on the ground,” said Williams, 44. He said they remained in the car until the storm passed.

The storm blew down electrical wires “in a big ball of fire, thrashing all about each other,” Williams said. He said they both escaped shaken but uninjured.

“I’m just a little nervous and jittery, but overall I’m OK,” Williams said.

In Appomattox County, a funnel cloud left an 8- to 10-mile path of destruction, injuring seven people, state police said.

On Tuesday, one of the hardest-hit areas along the Gulf Coast was a recreational vehicle park in the town of Convent, in southern Louisiana. RVs were tossed about and lay on top of wrecked cars and pickup trucks.

Two people were killed there, and 31 injured people were taken to area hospi-

An overturned car rests on a highway next to the foundation of a mobile home that was thrown across the highway by a deadly storm Wednesday that swept through Waverly, Va. tals, said St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin.

An all-night search of the RV park found no additional injuries or fatalities, the sheriff said. One person still was unaccounted for.

Briaxton Lott, 23, was in the trailer park when the tornado hit. The pad where his trailer once sat was empty and

he pointed to the remnants of it about 100 feet away.

“The whole front end came up and slammed back down, and I grabbed up the baby and the next thing I know we just went rolling end over end,” Lott said.

Bill Bunting with Storm Prediction Center estimated 20 to 24 tornados hit

from Louisiana to Florida on Tuesday.

Crews still were surveying so he couldn’t be more specific.

The storms dumped several inches of rain in Alabama, Georgia and elsewhere, causing flash flood watches.

Schools were closed in parts of Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas ahead of the storms.

In Mississippi, 73-year-old Dale Purvis died of blunt-force trauma in a mobile home west of Purvis, Lamar County Coroner Cody Creel said.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott said an apparent tornado in the Pensacola area significantly damaged more than 70 homes and 24 apartments, leaving three people with minor injuries.

He stopped at The Moorings apartment complex, where winds ripped the roof off at least two buildings.

Residents in LaPlace, Louisiana, were cleaning up Wednesday after a tornado ripped up trees, tore roofs from houses and terrified local residents.

Nearly 200 homes were damaged.

Rose Fuselier, 80, had a gaping hole where her home’s front window once stood.

“The whole backyard is covered with trees, and then my shed is torn up, too. The roof is gone, and the siding is partially gone,” she said. Still, she said others suffered damage even worse than hers: “I lucked out. I lucked out.”

By JOSH LEDERMAN and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The White House is considering Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada as a possible nominee to the Supreme Court, two people familiar with the process said Wednesday.

The nomination of a Republican would be seen as an attempt by President Barack Obama to break the Senate GOP blockade of any of his choices.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said his 54-member GOP caucus is opposed to holding confirmafirmation as former deputy White House counsel. “It can be hard for them not to take it personally.”

To be sure, a Supreme Court seat is most jurists’ dream job. Anyone asked to serve in the coveted, lifelong post would find it hard to turn down.

And there could be some hope. Despite the GOP’s hard line, Republicans could relent and confirm Obama’s nominee Barack – especially if he picks a Obama so-called consensus nominee – someone so well- regarded that Republicans lack a compelling rationale to reject him or her.

Among those Obama is considering

is Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, said two people familiar with the process, who weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity.

Obama waxed hopeful on Wednesday that GOP opposition would fizzle once the “abstraction” is replaced with a living, breathing person.

“Let’s see how the public responds to the nominee that we put forward,” he said in the Oval Office.

But unlike most Supreme Court nominations battles, which typically run a few months, this one is likely to turn into a circus that just won’t end. If Republicans hold their ground on refusing a vote, Obama will ostensibly keep pushing his nominee until his presidency

ends in January 2017.

If a Democrat wins the White House in November after an unsuccessful Supreme Court push, Obama could renew his efforts during a lame-duck session of Congress or his successor could take up the baton.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign wouldn’t say whether she’d consider renominating Obama’s pick if elected, but in a statement she called the GOP position “an offense to the president and to the American people who elected him.”

Already, two politicians whose names were floated as possible contenders took themselves out of the running.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who is running for U.S. Senate, said she wasn’t interested, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar has said she doesn’t want to be considered.

Influential groups are poised to jump into action once Obama announces a nominee, digging through old yearbooks, scouring writings and speeches.

Party campaign committees, legal groups, electoral super PACs and even the presidential candidates are expected to join the public fight for or against Obama’s nominee.

Senate Republicans, fighting to preserve their delicate majority in November, will all make a similar argument: Elect us, or a Democratic-run Senate will allow Obama’s nominee through, said a senior Republican official, who requested anonymity to discuss the party’s internal campaign strategy.

Senators reach tentative deal on Flint water crisis aid

By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Senators from both parties reached a tentative deal Wednesday to address a water crisis in Flint, Michigan, where lead-contaminated pipes have resulted in an ongoing public health emergency in the city of 100,000 people.

A proposal by Sens. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., James Inhofe, R-Okla., would authorize $100 million in emergency aid to fix and replace the city’s lead-contaminated pipes, as well as $70 million in loans to improve its water infrastructure. The deal also authorizes $50 million nationwide to bolster lead-prevention programs and improve children’s health.

Supporters said the deal would rely on federal credit subsidies to provide incentives for up to $700 million in loan guarantees and other financing for water infrastructure projects across the country.

Inhofe, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, called the deal “the fiscally responsible thing to do, not only for Flint but also for the entire nation facing a water infrastructure crisis.”

The Flint catastrophe “has put a spotlight on the crisis we face across the nation due to a failure to address aging water infrastructure,” Inhofe said.

At least 10 senators – four Republicans and six Democrats – are co-spon- Rick Snyder sors of the Flint agreement.

The deal follows weeks of negotiations on how to provide emergency aid to Flint, where drinking water became tainted when the city switched from the Detroit water system and began drawing from the Flint River in 2014 to save money. The impoverished city was under state control at the time.

Regulators failed to ensure the wa-

ter was treated properly and lead from aging pipes leached into the water supply.

Elevated levels of lead have been found in some children’s blood. Lead contamination has been linked to learning disabilities and other problems.

Stabenow and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., proposed a $600 million aid package for Flint last month, but Republicans objected, saying it was too early to provide funds without specific plans from state and local officials.

The impasse over Flint has blocked a bipartisan energy bill that had been moving forward in the Senate. Under the tentative agreement, the Senate would vote on the energy bill before taking up the Flint legislation as a separate bill.

The energy bill, the first comprehensive legislation of its kind in nearly a decade, promotes a wide range of energy sources, from renewables such as solar and wind power to natural gas and hydropower. The legislation also

would speed federal approval of projects to export liquefied natural gas to Europe and Asia and boost energy efficiency.

An agreement would resolve – for now – an increasingly partisan response to the water crisis in Flint, as Democrats press for swift help for a majority African-American city of 100,000 and point to the past, rapid response of Republicans to natural disasters in Texas and Florida.

Democrats blame Michigan’s Republican governor, Rick Snyder, and other state officials for a cost-cutting move that resulted in a public health emergency caused by lead-contaminated water.

Republicans have acknowledged state errors, but also have pointed to a slow response by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Snyder, who has apologized repeatedly for the state’s role in the crisis, has agreed to testify to Congress about the Flint crisis.

WASHINGTON – Wanted: Top legal mind with Supreme Court aspirations, to serve as a national political football.

Candidate must be camera-ready and prepared for disappointment. Contact Barack Obama.

Republicans refusing to hold a vote or hearings on any candidate nominated

by Obama have complicated his sales job as he seeks a replacement for Antonin Scalia. Although Obama insists he’ll put forward an “outstanding candidate” no matter what the GOP says, the White House is hard-pressed to offer a convincing scenario in which that person gets confirmed.

Overnight, Obama’s nominee will become the face of well-financed, high-intensity, election-year campaigns both for and against that will rage across the country. Though guaranteed at least a footnote in the history books, the nominee will have little ability to influence the debate and even less control over how the chapter plays out.

For a Supreme Court hopeful, the scenario is less than ideal. High-ranking judges and others fit for consideration tend to be loath to throw themselves into the middle of public controversy.

“As much as you tell them it’s not really about them, judges don’t engage in politics and take pride in their impartiality,” said Christopher Kang, who prepared lower-court nominees for con-

White House considers Nevada governor for Supreme Court

tion hearings or vote on Obama’s pick, insisting that the choice rests with the next president.

The officials declined to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

Mari St. Martin, Sandoval’s communications director, said Wednesday that the governor hasn’t been contacted by the White House.

“Neither Gov. Sandoval nor his staff has been contacted by or talked to the Obama administration regarding any potential vetting for the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court,” she said.

Apple could make iPhone hacking more difficult

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Suppose the FBI wins its court battle and forces Apple to help unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino killers. That could open all iPhones up to potential government scrutiny – but it’s not the end of the story. It turns out there’s a bit both individuals and Apple could do to FBIproof their phones and shield private information from investigators and cybercriminals alike. Those measures include multiple passcodes and longer, more complex ones. Of course, increased security typically comes at the expense of convenience. Most efforts to improve phone security would make the devices harder to use, perhaps by requiring you to remember more passwords.

Making it more difficult for law enforcement to crack open iPhones also could spur legal restrictions on phone security, something that neither Apple nor other technology companies want to see.

“They are walking a tightrope,” says Mark Bartholomew, a law professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo who specializes in privacy and encryption issues.

Requiring longer passcodes might annoy most Apple users, he says, while boosting phone security “sort of amplifies the whole argument that Apple is making things too difficult and frustrating law enforcement officials.”

Apple had no comment on any future security measures. In a recent letter to customers, it noted that it has routinely built “progressively stronger protections” into its products because “cyberattacks have only become more frequent and more sophisticated.”

In the current fight, the FBI aims to make Apple help it guess the passcode on the work phone used by Syed Farook before he and his wife killed 14 people at an office party in December. The FBI wants Apple to create special software to disable security features that, among other things, render the iPhone unreadable after 10 incorrect guesses.

BATESVILLE, Miss. – It took investigators more than a year of painstaking work, but they say they finally have cracked the case of a former high school cheerleader who was found near death in her rural Mississippi hometown after being doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire.

Panola County District Attorney John Champion announced Wednesday John that Quinton Verdell Champion Tellis, 27, has been charged with capital murder in the death of 19-year-old Jessica Chambers. She was found along a road, badly burned, on Dec. 6, 2014. Her vehicle was on fire.

She suffered burns over 98 percent of her body and died hours later at a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

“This has been the most unusual case that I’ve ever dealt with,” Champion said.

“Obviously, the nature of how she died was very brutal, very horrendous.”

Champion said Tellis and Chambers knew each other and were friends, but he would not discuss a motive or other details of the crime. Champion said he believed it was a “personal crime” and not related to drug or gang activity. The prosecutor also said he would not reveal to reporters what Chambers told firefighters who had arrived at the scene.

The horrific circumstances surrounding the young woman’s death garnered national attention and cast light on concerns about violent crime in rural towns like Courtland, where Chambers and Tellis lived. Investigators were stymied early on because they received no information from their “street sources,” leading them to theorize that the killing was done by one person who told no one what happened, Champion said.

Ammon Bundy, others plead not guilty in Oregon refuge case

PORTLAND, Ore. – Ammon Bundy and another 15 defendants pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal conspiracy charges related to the 41-day occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge. Several of the accused, however, expressed doubt that they enjoy the presumption of innocence.

Bundy sat at the main defense table while most of his co-defendants sat Ammon in the jury box as they Bundy listened to a government prosecutor read the indictment and U.S. District Judge Anna Brown tell them their rights.

Brown reminded the defendants they are considered innocent until proven guilty. One by one, she asked them if they understood. Bundy simply said “yes,” but four co-defendants took the opportunity to express skepticism.

“It’s difficult to understand presumption of innocence when I’ve spent the last month in a jail cell and been led around in shackles and chains,” Ryan Payne said.

Another, Jason Patrick, told the judge: “You’re the federal government; you’re going to do whatever you want.”

The judge tackled several procedural issues during the nearly two-hour hearing, which started with Bundy, sporting a fresh haircut, blowing a kiss toward Odalis Sharp and her children.

The family gospel band traveled from Kansas in January to sing at the occupation. One daughter, 18-year-old Victoria Sharp, was at the traffic stop in which authorities arrested Bundy and fatally shot Arizona rancher LaVoy Finicum.

The judge said a trial date had been tentatively set for April 29, although court papers show an April 19 date.

WASHINGTON – Iranian authorities have arrested a U.S. citizen whose son has been detained in Iran for the last four months, friends and family said Wednesday, describing what would be the first such action against an American national in Iran since last month’s prisoner swap between the two countries.

Baquer Namazi, whose son Siamak has been held since October, was arrested on Monday, his wife wrote in a Facebook post. She said she was told he is now in Tehran’s Evin prison.

“I must share the shocking and sad news that Baquer was arrested,” Effie Namazi posted. “Now both my innocent son Siamak and my Baquer are in prison for no reason. This is a nightmare I can’t describe.”

She said she and a lawyer have been unable to get more information or see her husband, who suffers from “serious heart and other conditions” that require medication.

Appearing at a Senate panel hearing Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said he was engaged on the matter but couldn’t comment because of privacy considerations.

“We are aware of reports that a U.S. citizen was detained in Iran,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. “The U.S. Department of State has no higher priority than the protection of U.S. citizens overseas. We take our obligation to assist U.S. citizens abroad seriously.”

Haleh Esfandiari, a friend of the family and a Mideast expert at the Wilson Center, said Namazi is more than 80 years old and a dual U.S.-Iranian national.

“I’m in a state of shock,” said Esfandiari, who was detained herself in Iran

for more than three months in 2007.

Her take: “They want Siamak to make concessions that he wasn’t willing to make.”

Namazi, she said, worked for the United Nations and at one point as a World Bank consultant, while also being a civil society activist. She described him as a “not at all political” person who consistently spoke out against U.S.-led economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The family lived outside New York for a period after the Islamic Revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed shah in 1979, although later returned to Iran, she said.

According to a Daily Beast article last year, the family has played a key role in trying to bridge ties between the long-time foes.

It said Namazi was a governor of the oil-rich province of Khuzestan under the shah who was allowed to emigrate to the U.S. in 1983.

Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American businessman who similarly advocated a warmer U.S.-Iranian relationship, is thought to have been arrested in October.

He is the one U.S. citizen known to be detained in Iran who wasn’t included in January’s prisoner exchange that saw five American freed from Iranian prison and U.S. sentences, charges or warrants dropped against 21 Iranians.

Those allowed to leave Iran included Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian. Iran denies having any knowledge of the whereabouts of Robert Levinson, a former FBI investigator who disappeared in the country in 2007.

The younger Namazi had been specifically criticized in hardline commentary ahead of his arrest as Iranian conservatives warned against easing hostilities with the U.S.

State rep.

66th District: Wilbrandt Four candidates are running in the Republican primary to replace Mike Tryon in the 66th State House District.

The winner of the Republican primary will run against Democratic opponent Nancy Zettler of Algonquin in the November election. The primary features four candidates who hold elected office: McHenry County Board member Carolyn Schofield, Lakewood trustee Paul Serwatka, East Dundee trustee Allen Skillicorn and West Dundee trustee Dan Wilbrandt.

There is very little difference on the issues between these four candidates, and they all support term limits and redistricting reform.

Schofield, who also has served on the Crystal Lake City Council and the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission, believes her depth of knowledge and experience is unmatched in the race. Serwatka, a small business owner and managing real estate broker/investor, prides himself on not being a career politician. He won his seat Lakewood last year as a write-in candidate.

Skillicorn, the director of marketing for a local electronics manufacturer, feels state government needs more doers and not talkers. He points to lowering taxes in East Dundee since he was elected four years ago as proof he is a doer. Wilbrandt, an assistant state’s attorney in McHenry County, touts his temperament, abilities and connections to the area to be considered the best candidate.

It’s hard for us to get a solid read on Serwatka because he hasn’t held his trustee seat long and he chose to not attend our endorsement interview after committing to attending. The political action committee money being thrown at Skillicorn gives us pause regarding who he would answer to if elected – the people or the PAC? Wilbrandt and Schofield are best suited to work with the other side of the aisle, but there are issues with Schofield that can’t be ignored.

She was the chairwoman of the County Board’s task force on consolidation. That fiasco was a huge disappointment because the task force did nothing to seek a true cost analysis on township consolidation. Schofield, herself, said of the task force: “I think we’ve created a lot more questions than answers.”

Perhaps it should come as little surprise then that Schofield has the support of many township supervisors. She’s also endorsed by the Illinois Education Association teachers union.

We endorse Wilbrandt.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

GOP leaders’ silence on Trump inexcusable On Sunday, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus whether the party would back Donald Trump should he win the GOP nomination.

“Yes, we will support the nominee,” Priebus replied. “To me, it’s a no-brainer.”

Stephanopoulos asked if a Trump nomination would split the party. “Winning is the antidote to a lot of things,” Priebus said.

Winning can quiet many complaints, it is true, but it cannot and will not be an antidote to the moral poison of Trump’s campaign. Party leaders who support and celebrate his victory will be accomplices to an attack on the fundamental values of American democracy. Winning will not wash away the stain.

Trump’s campaign is based on suspicion and unreason. He revels in policy proposals that make no sense. He stirs bigotry against Muslims, Hispanics, Jews, people

with disabilities and more. He demeans war heroes. His latest turn is indirectly questioning Sen. Marco Rubio’s eligibility to be president, a suspicion rooted in pure prejudice.

Trump appears to have turned illogic into a virtue for his supporters, asking his audiences, “Who’s going to pay for the wall?” The reply is as enthusiastic as it is bizarre: “Mexico!”

How might that happen? The answer, or rather the absence of one, is irrelevant to the candidate. How will he respond when, having reached the Oval Office, his simplistic promises proved unachievable, he encounters opposition in the form of legitimate checks and balances from the courts and Congress? Which ethnic group will he pick on to explain away his failures to deliver? What actions would he take to distract people from his lack of substance?

Like many GOP leaders, Priebus has shown he knows Trump is a problem. He condemned

Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S, but, also like many top Republicans, the party chairman has nevertheless given Trump a wide berth to run a flamboyant insult of a campaign.

There are several pretexts Republican officials might offer to avoid giving Trump the public thrashing he deserves: condemnations from “establishment” politicians might only make him stronger; the results of the GOP nominating process deserve some respect, and Republicans must abide by the rules; maybe Trump would beat the Democrats in November.

None of these excuse silence.

Particularly not the third. The argument that any Republican would be better than any Democrat is a depressing reflection of irrational partisanship. Priebus and everyone else “leading” the GOP are Americans before they are Republicans. They should act like it.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

The fact that Mr. Tsilimigras holds this license proves he has the experience to serve as a circuit judge.

To the Editor: Without a doubt, Jim Cowlin deserves to be elected to the position of circuit judge to which he was appointed in 2015.

Jim’s experience and expertise far surpass his opponent.

He served as associate judge before his appointment and has 33 years of legal experience. Jim has served as a mentor for new judges and has the respect of the Illinois Bar Association. His reputation is impeccable.

Elect Jim Cowlin circuit judge and keep honesty and integrity in our legal system.

Cowlin stronger candidate

To the Editor: I am voting for Judge James Cowlin.

When I had to appear in front of him for my child support case, I found him to be fair, and he took the time to listen. He also was respectful to me and others in the courtroom.

Judge Cowlin is an experienced judge, and that is important to me when voting.

Please join me in voting for Judge James Cowlin. He is clearly the stronger and more experienced candidate.

Tsilimigras has the experience

To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of Demetri Tsilimigras for circuit judge.

Mr. Tsilimigras has extensive experience trying felony cases. On June 27, 2008, the Illinois Supreme Court admitted Mr. Tsilimigras to the Capital Litigation Trial Bar. In 2001, as part of the state’s death penalty reform, the Supreme Court mandated any attorney who wished to handle a capital case must possess exceptional skill and experience as a trial attorney. The court instituted an application process where each applicant to the bar would submit a list of trials they performed, and the judge and opposing counsel on the case would be interviewed to verify the applicant’s ability. This would ensure only the most skilled and experienced attorneys would be admitted.

Regna’s understanding superior

To the Editor: The eight questions by the Northwest Herald of the two candidates for state’s attorney were very well-formed and revealing.

Clearly, Dan Regna has a far superior understanding of the legal functions and the community responsibilities of the office of state’s attorney. Some letter writer said being born and raised there has no bearing on qualifications. I would differ in that Regna’s present and future involvement in his community and county have a very direct impact on his administration of this important county office.

In his private practice, he has worked with his clients on settling their accounts without breaking their day-to-day lives.

He has said in private the need for the state’s attorney to lower the cost of administration of justice in the county because his taxes also have helped to pay for the county offices.

Dan Regna will be there long after his terms as state’s attorney have been completed.

Judge Cowlin quickly earned an excellent reputation as a fair-minded and knowledgeable jurist. He is the only qualified candidate on the Republican ballot.

Best we have?

To the Editor: Government is no longer “of the people, by the people and for the people.”

We are now houses divided, and the people are the ones suffering. To make America strong again, we need to elect people who understand what is happening in our country and care enough to try to fix it – for the people. I don’t think the founding fathers, who must have had differences, expected the political parties to be the ultimate agenda.

Being a rich businessperson does not mean being qualified to govern. Our system is not a monarchy, dictatorship or anarchy. It’s based on compromising multiple thoughts and ideas for the good of all the people, not only one person’s belief. Our freedom allows each of us the right to have our own opinions, without imposing them on others. We are the land of the free and home of the brave, and no walls should close us in. Being told how rich someone is doesn’t make me feel that person has any clue what it’s like to be working to make ends meet.

We no longer have the option to choose between the best of the best,

Kenneally left impression

To the Editor: I first met Patrick Kenneally almost a decade ago.

The first time I saw him handle a hearing left an impression. I can no longer remember who defense counsel was, but it was clear he thought having a new attorney handling the prosecution meant he had an advantage. What happened next is something prosecutors and defense attorneys alike later would come to expect routinely from Patrick.

On cross-examination, Patrick eviscerated the defendant’s credibility.

Patrick is as quick-witted as you will find in a prosecutor, but he also, and more importantly, has a less common ability to always see the bigger picture. I have seen him show mercy when appropriate, and also go, unwaveringly, against almost unwinnable odds because he believed justice demanded it.

I believe he not only will make a great state’s attorney, but he also will make McHenry County a better place to live and raise a family.

Hazardous political signs

To the Editor: When is someone going to do something about the unsightly political posters lining our roads?

Not only are they visual pollution, but some of the larger signs are a safety issue. I don’t know how many intersections I have approached unable to see oncoming traffic in order to make a turn.

Some of these candidates running for office speak in regards of road improvements when actually they are creating a road hazard.

To the Editor: The 17 township road supervisors have sent a questionnaire to all the local candidates for public office.

The thrust of the letter was to identify which candidates would commit to keeping the supervisors in their current fiefdoms by signing a pledge to support township government.

The not-so-veiled threat being if the candidate doesn’t support township officials, the officials will work against them. Distasteful politics? Oh, yes, but so typical of township tactics.

It will be interesting to see which candidates have the integrity to not cave in to township pressure and be able to maintain their own voice in office.

Township government working for you? I have a better idea: Abolish townships.

Food makers turn everything into snacks for consumers

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – There are no meals anymore, only snacks.

As around-the-clock grazing upends the way people eat, companies are reimagining foods that aren’t normally seen as snacks to elbow in on the trend.

That means everything including grilled chicken, cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and even Spam now are being marketed as snacks.

Some are trying to jump into the party by playing up protein. Meat processing giant Tyson launched Hillshire Snacking this year with packs of cut-up chicken that people are supposed to grab and eat with their hands (120 calories a pack).

Canned meat maker Hormel is testing “Spam Snacks,” which are dried chunks of the famous meat in re-sealable bags (220 calories a bag).

People with a sweet tooth aren’t being forgotten. After years of slumping cereal sales, Kellogg recently introduced Kellogg’s To Go pouches, which hold slightly larger pieces of cereal the company said were “specifically created to be eaten by hand” (190 calories a pouch, which is comparable in size to a bag of potato chips).

Even Hershey is trying to become more of a snacks player with “snack mixes” that seem like trail mix, except with Reese’s peanut butter cups and mini chocolate bars (280 calories a package).

“People are snacking more and more, sometimes instead of meals, sometimes with meals, and sometimes in between meals,” said Marcel Nahm, who heads North American snacks for Hershey.

He said Hershey’s research shows some people snack “10 times a day.”

Snacking has been encroaching on meals for years, of course, fueled in part by the belief that several smaller meals a day are better than three big ones.

Snacks now account for half of all eating occasions, with breakfast and lunch in particular becoming “snackified,” according to the Hartman Group, a food industry consultancy.

But more recently, the blurring lines are making people reach for snacks with benefits they might otherwise get from a meal, like protein or fiber.

That has led to ingredients like chickpeas, lentils and quinoa popping up in snacks. And it’s inspiring some companies to try and transform everyday foods into more exciting snacks.

Spam Snacks (left), Skippy P.B. Bites (center) and Hillshire Genoa Salami with cheese and crackers are arranged for a photo. As around-the-clock grazing upends the way people eat, companies are reimagining foods that aren’t normally seen as snacks to elbow in on the trend.

That means everything including grilled chicken, cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and Spam now are being marketed as snacks.

Snacks can have good profit margins, too.

Prices will vary depending on the retailer, but the suggested retail price for a snack pack of Hillshire’s grilled chicken is $2.49, while Kellogg’s To Go pouch sells for about $2.

Kellogg also is marketing regular bowls of cereal as a late-night snack, and said it can do more to push Pop-Tarts as an anytime snack.

Hormel recently introduced Skippy P.B. Bites, which are candy-like balls of peanut butter marketed as filling treats for kids.

A serving has 160 calories and 8 grams of sugar, with each canister containing six servings.

The canister costs around $3.50 and isn’t supposed to be a single snack, but Hormel president Jim Snee said, “Unfortunately it can end up being that.”

Prescribing an ideal eating pattern for everyone is difficult given people’s varying lifestyles, said Claudia Zapata, a registered dietitian in San Antonio, Texas.

But she noted that snacks should generally be 250 calories at most and are meant to tide people over between meals.

“Well, that was the point of snacks back then. I don’t know what the point is now,” she said.

Zapata noted there is a lot of mind-

less eating going on, and people should stop and ask themselves whether they’re even hungry before diving into a snack.

“It may be that you just need water,” she said.

For food makers, the bigger priority seems to be delivering maximum convenience so people can eat wherever and whenever the spirit moves them.

“I don’t like things that have to be assembled,” said Bridget Callahan, a part-time student and freelance writer in Wilmington, North Carolina who said she snacks six or seven times a day.

Callahan said she picks snacks such as protein bars and oranges that she can carry around in her purse.

The various efforts to court snackers may not succeed over the long term, but Kellogg promises the pouches for its cereal snacks are “ergonomically designed to allow fingers to easily access the food” and Hershey describes its snack mixes as perfect for “one-handed eating.”

And while it may seem odd to snack on meat with bare hands, Hillshire said its research shows people don’t mind.

“The meat is quality meat, so people would take it and dip it with their fingers,” said Jeff Caswell, general manager of Hillshire Snacking.

Already, Caswell said the company is looking at turning other meats into portable finger foods.

NEW YORK – Target’s heavy discounting during the crucial holiday season squeezed fourth-quarter profits. But its trendy assortments and spiffed up presentations induced shoppers to spend more.

The company, based in Minneapolis, also offered an upbeat outlook, sending shares more than 3 percent higher.

The results, released Wednesday, show Target has made solid progress in reinvigorating its business and winning back shoppers. It initiated an aggressive plan to regain its cheap chic status in 2014 under new CEO Brian Cornell after a series of headline grabbing setbacks, including a major debit and credit card breach that hurt sales and profits for months.

Under Cornell, the company got rid of its money-losing Canadian operations and it shook up its leadership ranks.

The company said in its SEC filing that Stride Rite closings and diminished demand for its remaining Stride Rite locations contributed to revenue losses for the brand during the third quarter.

Opening in 2005, the Stride Rite location in Algonquin was one of the original tenants to the Algonquin Commons shopping center, a main draw for consumers traveling along the Randall Road corridor.

Lately, however, the shopping center has seen a few longstanding businesses close. OfficeMax closed last May followed

by PetSmart, which closed in December after nine years of business in the Algonquin Commons.

Discount retailer Gordman’s also left the center in 2015, but Art Van Furniture plans to occupy the 48,000-square-foot store later this spring.

share in the quarter ended Jan. 30. That compares with a loss of $2.64 billion, or $4.10 per share in the year-ago period, when the company incurred hefty charges related to its retreat from Canada.

The heavy competition that forced steep discounts did take its toll.

Adjusted earnings results were $1.52 per share, a bit below the $1.54 per-share projections from Wall Street, according to FactSet. Revenue slipped 0.6 percent to $21.63 billion on the sale of its pharmacy business to CVS, also just shy of Wall Street expectations.

That revenue metric for its so-called signature categories – fashion, baby, kids and wellness, grew more than three times faster than the company average during the fourth quarter.

“Target’s results demonstrate that we are focused on the right strategic priorities,” Cornell said in a company release.

During the recession the company appeared to lose its mojo when its focus shifted to an expanded grocery section.

It seemed slower in getting ahead of style trends then it had in the past.

This past holiday season, Target battled it out with Wal-Mart and online leader Amazon.com, heavily discounting goods, and brought back free shipping online.

Traffic in stores rose and online sales surged 34 percent, after online sales jumped 30 percent in the quarter before.

The maneuvers helped drive comparable-store sales up by 1.9 percent, the sixth consecutive quarterly increase.

Customer traffic rose for the fifth quarter in a row.

In the same quarter, Wal-Mart stores in the U.S. recorded a 0.6 percent increase in revenue at stores opened at least a year.

ALGONQUIN – Another longtime tenant at the Algonquin Commons shopping center is closing shop, marking the third retailer to leave the village’s largest shopping center in the past year.

Kid footwear chain Stride Rite, 1636 S. Randall Road, will close by early April, employees at the Algonquin location told the Northwest Herald. Once the business closes, customers in the McHenry County area will not have another nearby specialty retailer that sells kid shoes and accessories, they said.

A final, closeout sale – with all items discounted 50 percent – is ongoing until the store closes its doors.

The employees wouldn’t comment on why the national chain decided to shutter

the Algonquin location.

But executives at Michigan-based Wolverine Worldwide Inc., which acquired the Stride Rite brand in 2012, announced plans last fall to close an additional 25 Stride Rite locations throughout the country in 2016.

Wolverine Worldwide already had closed numerous Stride Rite locations, as part of a restructuring plan that resulted in 120 store closings from 2014 to 2015, according to the company’s quarterly filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Its Performance + Lifestyle group, which includes the Stride Rite brand, saw revenue decline $27.3 million, or 9.8 percent, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter the year before, Worldwide Wolverine reported last fall.

Singer Adele holds up the Best British Female Solo Artist award onstage Wednesday at the Brit Awards 2016 at the 02 Arena in London.

Chart-topping Adele gets emotional with Brit Awards win LONDON – A tearful Adele was crowned queen of the British music scene – and banished memories of Grammy Awards sound glitches – with four prizes and a soulful performance at the Brit Awards on Wednesday.

“Not bad for a girl from Tottenham that don’t like flying,” the North London-born singer said as she accepted the Global Success Award.

The world-conquering diva also took trophies for British female solo artist of the year; British single of the year, for lovelorn ballad “Hello”; and album of the year for 15 million copy-selling “25.”

Adele has seen “25” – her first album in almost five years – top charts around the world, though her performance at last week’s Grammy Awards was unsettled when a microphone fell into a piano during the tender song “All I Ask.” There were no such glitches Wednesday during her performance of “When We Were Young,” although the singer choked up as she accepted the Global Success award – presented by astronaut Tim Peake from the International Space Station.

“You’re getting ... bored of me,” she quipped, accidentally slipping an expletive into the live telecast.

“I got really lost for a while – I didn’t know if I’d ever come back,” she added.

“And for you all to be so kind to me...”

Later she apologized for losing her composure.

“I’m really sorry for the ugly crying face,” she said.

Adele also sent a message of public support to “Tik Tok” singer Kesha, who is fighting to get out of a contract with record producer Dr. Luke, who she says sexually assaulted her.

The Brits ceremony, performed to music-industry figures and thousands of fans at London’s O2 Arena, also featured performances from Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Rihanna – joined onstage by Drake for a sultry “Work.”

LOS ANGELES – “Creed” director Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, Janelle Monae and other Hollywood celebrities have big plans for Oscar night. But they have nothing to do with the Academy Awards. Coogler and company will be 2,300 miles away in Flint, Michigan, participating in a benefit for residents affected by the town’s lead-contaminated water crisis.

DuVernay, Monae and others tweeted Tuesday about their involvement in the Sunday night event, which is being called #JusticeForFlint. Hosted by comedian Hannibal Buress, the free show will serve as both a fundraiser and an awareness campaign, complete with performances and testimonials. Revolt.tv plans to stream it live.

About the same time on Sunday night, Coogler’s “Creed” is a favorite to win the best supporting actor Oscar for Sylvester Stallone’s reprise of his iconic Rocky character. It was the sole nomination for the critically acclaimed film, which many saw as yet another example of how the film academy is out of step with today’s audiences.

This year’s Academy Awards are again embroiled in a diversity crisis stemming from a second straight year of all-white acting nominees, now symbolized by the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite. Outrage over the Oscars’ all-white slates has included calls for a boycott of the ceremony from Hollywood notables such as Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, and it prompted the acad-

emy to announce sweeping changes to its membership rules.

Judge defends ruling that denied Cosby quick appeal

PHILADELPHIA – A Pennsylvania judge is defending his decision to deny Bill Cosby a pretrial appeal over a key defense issue in his sexual-assault case.

Cosby wants an appeals court to reconsider his motion to have the case thrown out before trial. He said he had a promise from a former prosecutor he would never be charged.

Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven O’Neill has found no evidence of such an agreement.

The judge said in a memo Wednesday there’s no pressing reason to delay the case while Cosby appeals. He said Cosby can file a post-trial appeal if he’s convicted.

Cosby is due in court March 8 for a preliminary hearing.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama paid tribute Wednesday to Ray Charles and the late singer-songwriter’s unmistakable “singular sound” that the president said continues to influence generations of musicians.

Obama noted that Charles grew up in the segregated South, his early years colored by poverty and tragedy. But, the president said, Charles had two things working in his favor: a strong mother and music.

He quoted Charles as once saying that he was born with music inside of him and noted that Charles’ career encompassed every genre, including jazz, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, country and soul.

“Whatever genre of music he was playing, there was no mistaking his singular sound: that virtuoso piano playing that matched that one-of-a-kind voice,” Obama said at the White House, where he and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a taping of “Smithsonian Salutes Ray Charles: In Performance at the White House.”

“Even as a young man, he had the rich, raw honey tone of an old soul,” Obama said.

Calling Charles one of his musical fa-

eral Loretta Lynch, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Usher performed “Georgia On My Mind,” one of Charles’ most-recognized hits, along with “What I’d Say,” which brought the audience to its feet.

The hourlong program is scheduled to be broadcast by PBS stations nationwide on Friday.

The audience booed playfully when Obama mentioned during his welcoming remarks that Wednesday’s program is the final “In Performance” event of his administration. Obama will leave office in January after two terms.

“Over the past seven years, Michelle and I have set aside nights like this to celebrate the music that shaped America,” he said, adding that it had become one of their most-cherished traditions.

“I will not sing. But for our last one, it is fitting that we pay tribute to one of our favorites.”

Mrs. Obama said the event would be “a little bittersweet for all of us” because it’s the final one.

“We’re going to have a lot of lasts coming up,” she said earlier Wednesday during a student workshop with some of the performers. “And this is the last of one of my favorite events of all time. So we figured we’ve got to go out with a bang, right?”

Websites offer doctor ratings Dear Dr. K: I’ve recently moved and would like to find a doctor for my kids and myself. I don’t know many people here yet, so I’ve hesitated to ask for personal recommendations. What do you think about physician-rating websites?

Dear Reader: There are a lot of doctorrating sites out there, like Healthgrades. com or RateMDs.com. Even websites that offer reviews of restaurants and repairmen (such as Yelp and Angie’s List) feature critiques of doctors, dentists and other clinicians.

Many of these sites have users give doctors a “star rating,” as you would rate a movie on Netflix. But according to a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine, narrative reviews, in which patients describe their experiences with clinicians in their own words, can add valuable context. They can allow readers to zero in on reviews from people with similar problems, needs and preferences. And if you understand why someone gave a clinician a certain score, you can weigh that information against what’s most important to you.

But even doctor-rating websites that provide space for personal comments – and many do – could, in my opinion, be improved. Many of these websites don’t present data on other important considerations. For example, does the doctor offer timely appointments? Does he or she follow authoritative guidelines for preventing and treating diseases? Do they follow up on recently discovered medical problems that need close monitoring?

In addition, most of the existing websites post comments from any source. There’s no assurance the reviews come from real or recent patients. Furthermore, the vast majority of doctors’ patients don’t offer their evaluations on doctor-rating websites. And the few

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff who do often have an ax to grind.

Also in my opinion, there are a few doctors who have a great “bedside manner” but don’t practice the best medicine.

They order too many, or too few, diagnostic tests. They use the newest treatments when older treatments would be equally effective, less expensive and possibly safer. I say older drugs are safer because we know more about the safety of drugs that have been around for a while. Having said this, I think patients usually make accurate judgments about their doctors.

So what’s the bottom line? Doctor-rating websites might provide some useful information. But don’t use them as your only source of information. If you can, ask trusted friends or family members. If you’re new to an area, as you are in this case, join a neighborhood email group and ask for a recommendation. Or call the local chapter of a condition-specific association and ask them for suggestions.

Of course, it makes the most sense to trust the judgments of people whom you know and respect. But you can learn something from people you don’t know, and who might be anonymous on the ratings website.

All the time, we hear people we don’t know making judgments about things. We decide from what they’ve said and how they’ve said it whether we believe them. It’s no different with doctor-rating websites.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY Why is there so much angst today Jeanne over raising chilPhillips dren, especially in young mothers? I don’t remember my mother or my friends’ mothers being so concerned about whether or not they were doing a good job, and I certainly didn’t gather with my daughters’ friends’ moms to bemoan whether I was a bad mother.

Now there are all these blogs and workshops, etc. on how to be the “best” mom, and all these lifestyle gurus who constantly tell them not to worry, they’re doing a great job. It just seems like a bunch of nonsense to me.

I think it’s because a generation or so back, moms began to elevate their children to top priority in the family over their husbands. What’s your take? – Puzzled Grandma In The South Dear Puzzled: The world is different today.

Many women feel torn because they want or need to work, while at the same time feel pressured to help their children succeed in an increasingly competitive world.

While it might seem like nonsense to you, I assure you it does not seem like nonsense to them. Women of your generation didn’t second-guess themselves because parenting a generation ago was simpler. If children seem to be the No. 1 priority these days it might be because both parents feel driven to succeed and are determined their children will, too.

Dear Abby: I have been married to my husband for 11 years. We are financially and emotionally stable. We recently became friendly with another couple who are newly married and not as financially secure as we are.

When we go on vacation, they invite themselves along and assume they are staying in our travel trailer without asking. They don’t offer to help pay for gas. The last trip we took, the wife cooked only one meal, while I prepared the rest for a three-day trip.

We don’t mind sharing what we have and helping our friends out, but what we are starting to resent is the assumption because we make more money, we’ll pick up the tab for everything. Are we wrong to feel this way? –

What to watch NHL: Nashville at Blackhawks, 7 p.m., CSN, NBCSN Sometimes the best thing to do after a bad loss is to get right back on the ice and move past it as quickly as possible. But with three days off after a blowout 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild at TCF Bank Stadium, the Hawks didn’t have that luxury. However, the rest might be more important in the long run. The Hawks have only 20 regular-season games left, and points are paramount given the tight race atop the Central Division.

Really?

A former Tennessee football player has confirmed he assisted a woman who said she had been raped by two other players and that later he was attacked by teammates and told by coach Butch Jones that he had “betrayed the team.” An amended complaint filed Wednesday states that Bowles suffered a bloody lip when he was punched in the mouth by teammate Curt Maggitt later that day and was confronted by two other teammates the next day.

BOYS BASKETBALL: NILES NOTRE DAME 68, MARIAN CENTRAL 65 (OT)

Hurricanes fall in OT Pischke’s 25-foot buzzer-beater forces extra period

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Marian Central’s Adam Pischke expected his last-second shot to go in, never mind that it came from closer to the half-court line than the 3-point line.

Marian’s Mr. Clutch has made so many big shots with time running out, like the one a few minutes earlier from 25 feet to force overtime against Niles Notre Dame, he just figured this one would go in as well.

It was close, bouncing off the back of the rim as time expired and leaving Niles Notre Dame a 68-65 winner in their East Suburban Catholic Conference boys basketball game Tuesday night at Landers Pavilion.

Pischke passed 1,700 career points in the game with his 24. His last basket came with 2.8 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score at 60.

“I came up to the top of the key and knew I’d have a shot,” said Pischke, who made six 3s. “I had no doubt in my mind I was going to make it. I’ve made some buzzer-beaters this year. I live for those moments. I thought I had that last one, too.”

Marian Central career scoring leader Adam Pischke’s total after Wednesday’s game

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Marengo’s Zach Knobloch (1,800) and Pischke both are among the top seven career scorers in history for the Northwest Herald area. Crown’s Gary Gliesmann (Class of 1981, 2,011 points), Johnny Moran (’08, 1,918), Crystal Lake South’s Phil Wallace (’04, 1,864), Knobloch, Woodstock’s Dan Hill (’87, 1,791), Huntley’s Brad Kalsow (’04, 1,783) and Pischke comprise that group.

Marian (16-9 overall, 3-6 ESCC) spent most of the fourth quarter and all of overtime chasing the Dons (21-6, 6-3), who have won five consecutive games and beaten ESCC heavyweights Marian Catholic, Marist and St. Viator.

“They were really tiring us out and we were just right there,” Hurricanes forward Josh Horney said. “We should have pushed them. We were struggling with [taking the lead], we were just staying in it.”

Marian coach Curtis Price also said

rebounding became critical late in the game.

“We know we’re a good basketball team, but tonight we gave up a lot of rebounds at crucial times, offensive rebounds,” Price said. “We have to rebound the ball better. We have a chance to compete in the playoffs and are excited about it.”

Marian got a boost from the return of 6-foot-8 junior center Sam Ohlrich, who has been recovering from a sprained ankle. Ohlrich scored 10 points, and forward Jack Moscinski added 17, with three 3s.

Notre Dame was led by forward Ammar Becar with 18 points. Anthony D’Avanzo scored 13, and Jeameril Wilson added 12. Dons coach Tom Les coached at Marian from 2003 through 2007 and was 79-61 in those five seasons. Price took over when Les took the head coaching position at Notre Dame, his alma mater.

“The percentages are a little bit stronger when you’re inside rather than outside,” said Les, who starts five players 6-5 or taller. “Us being inside was a difference-maker. [Marian] played great, they played hard, they battled. They came up with more loose balls than we did.”

Even after the loss, the Hurricanes saw positives heading into the Class 3A Freeport Regional next week.

“It gives us a ton of confidence going into the playoffs,” Horney said. “If we play the way we’re playing right now, we can beat any team we’re going to face. We all strongly believe it. That’s a really big deal.”

The Cougars led, 40-24, at halftime and built a lead as big as 27 points in the third quarter.

“A lot of those points were second-chance points,” Wilks said. “It’s tough, and it’s hard to fight uphill sometimes. The first time we played them, we rebounded well. This time, they just got the better of us on second-chance points.”

Senior Kurt Zachary did his best to keep the Saints in the game in the first half, scoring 16 of his team’s 24 points. He led all scorers with 26 points

on 10-of-18 shooting and finished with a school-record 1,030 career points, Wilks said.

Zachary is the first Saints basketball player to eclipse 1,000 points, despite playing only two years.

Faith looked like a different team in the second half, outscoring Keith, 17-10, in the fourth quarter and getting to within 11 points, 62-51, on a 3-pointer from Jorden Warrener with 2:30 remaining.

“That was it for us,” said Zachary, who hit six 3-pointers. “We’ve got five seniors. It was either win or go home.

That was all we had to do. That was all of our motivation.”

Warrener was a big part of Faith’s second-half comeback attempt, scoring 12 points after the break. He finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.

Richardi had nine points for the Saints and senior Ben Gritton had four.

Also playing in their final game were seniors Zach Giles and Luis Colindres.

“This is their last year, and we all wanted to try and get it done for them,” Warrener said. “It means a lot (to win a regional game), coming out here and getting it done, things that other people couldn’t get done.”

4 NFL SCOUTING COMBINE

Interpreting the Bears’ coachspeak

INDIANAPOLIS – The NFL Scouting Combine can be a lot of fun because it is the only opportunity each season to visit with every head coach and general manager in the NFL. Ultimately, however, they each try to outdo the other at speaking without telling you a thing.

The best approach is to figure out each club’s offseason agenda, and then do your best interpreter act to see whether they accidentally tip their hands about anything.

I haven’t been in the Bears’ war room, but it’s a safe bet their agenda looks something like this: A. Acquire more playmakers and upgrade the talent around them, particularly on defense. B. How do we identify playmakers? C. What to do about Alshon Jeffery? D. Did our decision to ignore Matt Forte leave us with a need at running back? E. How much more Martellus Bennett can we take? F. What is the best version of Kyle Long? G. Is Jay Cutler the final answer?

Visiting with GM Ryan Pace and coach John Fox on Wednesday, each had a clear idea on the playmaker and talent riddle.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush “I think you’re looking for guys that are making critical game-changing plays at critical moments,” Pace said. “When the game’s on the line and it’s in the fourth quarter, you look at how close all of our games were and all of the games around the league and there’s certain players that step up at those moments.”

Fox thinks he knows how to identify those guys.

“Team speed. Explosion,” he said.

“I think it’s just getting the right kind of guys there, but with a highlight on some athleticism and explosion.”

Pace refused to tip his hand on where the Bears are at with Jeffery.

“We’re actively and aggressively negotiating right now,” Pace said. “We understand the deadline is Tuesday for the franchise tag. That’s an option.

We have until Tuesday to make that decision, but right now that’s kind of ongoing.”

He is, however, unimpressed by

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news. any reports that indicate Jeffery might not want to stay.

“I’ve heard that,” Pace said. “I sense he wants to be here. We’re the team that drafted him. He loves the city of Chicago. He’s comfortable in the offense, and I sense that he wants to be here.”

Fox made a great point relative to the Bears’ depth at running back and their needs on defense.

“The thing that sometimes I think people get lost about is the improvement of that player from a freshman to a sophomore, from Year 1 to Year 2, whether it’s in a particular system or just in NFL football,” he said. “There are a lot of things that go into the preparation in being the best, how to do it, as far as film study, opponent study that these guys will just take off

in my experience from Year 1 to Year 2.”

The Bears continue to be tightlipped and poker-faced relative to Bennett.

“I talked to him right at the end of the season,” Pace said. “I haven’t talked to him recently. Really with him, he’s under contract. We have a lot of players that aren’t under contract, so that’s where our focus is right now.”

Finally, for all of those who’ve asked if there’s any chance the Bears use that 11th pick on the quarterback of the future, consider these thoughts from Fox: “[Cutler] was probably one of the brightest spots, I think, about our first year in Chicago and getting to know our players,” Fox said. “I was very, very pleased with what I saw and what we have to work with going forward.”

See, we learned something. The Bears will not be drafting a quarterback in the first round, unless of course ...

Bears ‘aggressively’ negotiating with Jeffery

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com INDIANAPOLIS – Ryan Pace said the Bears are “actively and aggressively negotiating right now” with receiver Alshon Jeffery.

Jeffery’s contract expires March 9, and the Bears have until Tuesday to use the franchise tag. The general manager said the tag is an option that “is still on the table.”

In his contract year, Jeffery missed seven games because of injuries along with the entire preseason. He had 54 catches for 807 yards and four touchdowns. Pace is confident that if Jeffery stays with the club that they’ll have a good plan for him from a physical standpoint.

“The thing about it is the previous two years, he remained healthy,” Pace said. “Last year, he had a series of injuries. I think we’ve got a great sports team around him with Jen (Gibson) and Nate (Breske) and Jason George.

“I’ve said this before: I think being in Year 2 with a player helps a lot, just understanding his body and his body mechanics. I know him and his agent are doing some things, too, to improve on that. When he gets back, we’ll have

I think he’s had good production over his career,” Fox said. “I don’t think it’s fair just to take one segment of it and try to define him by that, whether that’s good or bad, regardless of what player I’m talking about.

“But we’ve seen enough of him, albeit that we’d like to have seen him more, but that’s part of football and we’re willing to take that risk. When he’s been healthy, we’ve liked his production and what he brings to our team.”

Jeffery is training at Unbreakable Performance Center, where other NFL players have worked with Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, a friend of Fox’s.

“I think what they’ve done there in LA is kind of a new concept, a little more of the mental training as well as the physical,” Fox said, mentioning that Jeffery’s work there is voluntary.

“Things I’ve heard have been real positive from both sides, from both Alshon AP file photo and the people there at Jay’s gym.”

BULLS 109, WIZARDS 104

The Bulls’ Doug McDermott dunks over Wizards defender Markieff Morris in the second half of Wednesday night’s game at the United Center. The Bulls won, 109-104. la Mirotic (appendicitis) and almost were without Pau Gasol, who was battling flu symptoms the 48 hours leading up to the game.

Looking worn down, Gasol made the decision to give it a go, and he came up one assist shy of a triple-double, scoring 10 points, grabbing 15 rebounds and handing out nine assists.

He was so ill that he didn’t even address the media after the game.

“It shows what Pau’s all about,” Doug McDermott said. “He cares so much about the team. He’s been doing this a really long time. We really matter to him.”

Which brings up the question, how much do they matter to Rose?

The Bulls had seven players in double figures, led by E’Twaun Moore and Taj Gibson with 17 points apiece.

McDermott scored 14 off the bench.

Whether Rose plays Friday in Atlanta still was up in the air, but coach Fred Hoiberg gave him a pass.

“Derrick knows his body, and with the hamstring the way it was, he came in and talked to me first, the symptoms and everything,” Hoiberg said.

“I was fully on board to take the cautious approach.”

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs still point to the “game-changing” jump in local TV revenues they anticipate in four years as the defining event that will dictate the long-term level of support for Theo Epstein’s baseball department.

But what about the ability until then to sustain the payroll trajectory they’ve accelerated with the sudden success of their young core?

Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts sounded optimistic the money will be there in the next few years for his baseball department to continue to supplement a roster that is projected to open the season with a franchise-record $146.6 million payroll.

“We certainly have brought the payroll up over the last few years,” Ricketts said Wednesday during his annual spring training media briefing. “We’ve done a lot of great things on the business side of the equation, and we have more people in the park. So that allows us more financial flexibility to bring in other guys.

“We’re comfortable with where our payroll is today, and can it go forward?

Yeah.”

It was only three years ago this month that Ricketts called the club’s payroll at the time “unsustainable,” foreshadowing steep cuts to the baseball budget as attendance declined and the club continued a tanking/rebuilding process.

Left unsaid that day: Spending restrictions resulting from the terms of the highly leveraged sale required by Sam Zell when he sold the club to the Ricketts family in 2009 played a significant role in the bottom line.

The terms required by Zell expire after the 2019 season, which coincides with the expiration of the team’s TV contract with CSN and the ability to offer regional rights for all 162 games to a single outlet for the first time since teams from Philadelphia to Texas and Los Angeles started cashing in on mega broadcast deals.

“To be able to have this kind of payroll with an old TV deal is pretty good,” Ricketts said. “Obviously, as we get toward that TV deal we should get even more financial flexibility.”

In the meantime, a 308,000 increase in attendance last season meant more than $23 million in additional revenue last year (according to internal metrics), along with, according to sources, another $12 million boost from playoff-related revenues.

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts speaks to the media before the team’s spring training workout Wednesday in Mesa, Ariz. revenue (including a large Pepsi deal since last year) made it more palatable to the business side to agree in November to an increase over the original 2016 baseball budget.

And Epstein’s front office made it work with creatively structured contracts to bring in free agents Jason Heyward ($184 million, eight years), Ben Zobrist ($56 million, four years) and John Lackey ($32 million, two years).

Baseball ops created a two-year window of near cost containment for 201617, based on projected budgets. And the long-term deals don’t rise significantly even in 2018-19.

But after 2017, last year’s rookies start hitting arbitration paydays, and Jake Arrieta and Lackey both become free agents – which means a megadeal to keep Arrieta or the potential to at least need more starting pitching.

Count on more ticket increases if the Cubs sustain the competitive run they started last year.

And don’t be surprised if the Cubs strike a TV deal ahead of 2019 with CSN – the only outlet available to host the games on a new deal before 2020. Sources say the Cubs have talked with CSN extensively about that possibility and suggest the station has floated figures that might be close to the Cubs’ target price.

Whatever ground Crane Kenney’s business department makes up on the baseball plan’s more accelerated pace in the next few years could have a disproportionate say over how well Epstein is able to manage – and lengthen – the window of opportunity that opened last year.

“The fact is we’ve done a lot to grow the revenues of the team over [the past three years],” Ricketts said. “And we’re in a good spot.”

CHICAGO – Derrick Rose owed every teammate who played Wednesday night a big thank you.

The short-handed Bulls won their third consecutive game, beating the Washington Wizards, 109-104, at the United Center even though Rose bailed out on them again.

After putting together possibly his best three-game stretch since his 201011 MVP season, Rose reverted to an all-too-familiar move that has infuriated the Bulls’ fan base the past threeplus years. He pulled himself out of the starting lineup just more than an hour before tipoff.

“Just don’t want to take any risks,” Rose said of the soreness in his right hamstring. “I love the way I’m playing. I feel like I’m playing to win. I feel like I’m in a good mood, a great place mentally. Just trying not to risk all of it by going out there and playing crazy.”

So he didn’t, missing his eighth game. By the way, the Bulls (30-26) are 6-2 when Rose is out.

But this one was different, especially considering how well Rose had been playing since the All-Star break.

He was averaging 26 points, had 17 rebounds and 14 assists and was shooting 57 percent (31 for 54) from the field in the three games.

Rose showed glimpses of the athleticism that made him an elite player and had added a new wrinkle, a midrange bank shot.

On top of that, the Bulls were doing everything they could to keep a grip on the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference with the Wizards (26-30) trying to close the gap.

But it didn’t take long for Rose to sour the good feelings that were building around him. “[I felt some soreness] a little bit [Tuesday] after we practiced, while we were practicing,” Rose said. “Then [Wednesday] morning, that’s when I really felt it.”

So whom did he consult before opting to sit? “Myself,” Rose said.

The Bulls already were without Jimmy Butler (left knee) and Niko-

Proposed bill draws ire of local hunters

Bill’s intent is to ban hunting within 1,000 yards of a house

On Feb. 17, I signed on to my Facebook account and noticed that someone had enrolled me in a new group. I normally delete stuff like that because I prefer signing up for things of my own accord, but I didn’t this time because the name caught my eye. The group’s name read, “BLOCK HB6008 AGAINST HUNTING.” I read the reason why the group was formed and definitely was intrigued. The group was formed by Matt Porter, the proprietor of Porter’s Hunt Club, which has operated in Lake, McHenry and Kane counties since 1993 (www.portersoutdoors. com). Porter claims to have never had any type of firearm incident or accident happen at his club in its history.

Porter kicked off the group by informing the followers that he had been in communication with state rep.

Carol Sente, D-Lincolnshire, who was the sponsor of House Bill 6008. The furor over the bill was that its intent was to ban hunting within 1,000 yards of a house.

Porter wrote to her stating, “I represent the interest of several hundred hunters in this area that hunt at my club, and this proposed bill would virtually put me out of business and leave these other hunters with no place to hunt. To my knowledge, there has never been an incident in northern Illinois where anyone has been injured by hunters on neighboring properties.

I strongly urge you and your constituents to OPPOSE THIS BILL and any others like it that come up.

“I think you have made a catastrophic error in underestimating the more than 1.2 million hunters in Illinois that spend over $20 million each year on hunting licenses and hundreds of millions in pursuit of our sport and our heritage.”

Sente responded that she was actually the author and sponsor of the bill. The bill had been spurred by what she related was a request from her local chief of police asking for her help because on three occasions, bullets entered the living areas of three different homes in unincorporated Mundelein and could have killed or seriously injured someone.

Sente wrote, “I would like to start by letting you know that I myself am a hunter, sportsman and have a FOID card. Some of my favorite memories

ends of the spectrum. I’ll tell you about the issue’s resolution next week.

Now, please don’t send poison pen messages to Sente. She was only reacting to some goofball’s irresponsible discharge of a firearm and was trying to protect the people of her constituency. I’ll explain how the story came to a happy ending in next week’s column.

8 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Quintana never deviates from norm

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

There was that time Jose Quintana exploded, behind closed doors after a frustrating outing. Other than that uncharacteristic outburst, Quintana, the leader in the free world in tough luck and no-decisions, never changes.

Everything about the 27-year-old left-hander is consistent and steady, from his preparation before starts to his repeatable delivery during them to his demeanor afterward. With 52 no-decisions and remarkably consistent ERAs of 3.76, 3.51, 3.32 and 3.36 over his four major league seasons, Quintana and “pitched well enough to win” have become synonymous.

“I do it one time,’’ Quintana said, recalling the day he lost it. “You can feel frustrated but I don’t like to do that because it doesn’t do you any good. You just have to say ‘Next time, next time, let’s go.’

“A couple times I feel bad but you never let on like ‘poor me’ when everybody is looking at you. Every time I say, ‘On to the next start.’ One day that will change and I think this year will

Quintana has pitched 200, 2001/3 and 206 innings in the last three seasons with won-lost records of 9-7, 9-11 and 9-10. Pitchers’ value isn’t gauged any more by wins, a stat reliant on many

factors out of their control.

But pitchers want a ‘W’ next to their name in a box score. It matters to them, and in that regard, Quintana believes he’s due for a windfall of offensive support in 2016.

“I feel like the no-decisions don’t come no more,’’ Quintana said. “That’s in the past for me. This year I’ll have a lot of decisions. I feel like if we as a team have a good year, good decisions, wins, will come my way.’’

Quintana’s locker this spring is on the wall with veterans Chris Sale, John Danks, David Robertson, Todd Frazier and Adam LaRoche. Everybody loves Quintana for his professional, workmanlike approach to his job and his steady, friendly manner.

“I envisioned this moment in my life one day and now I’m here,’’ Quintana said. “I worked to one day to be in the big leagues, and if you work hard you can make it. Now that I’m here, I try to help my teammates, to be a good listener and to be [a team player].’’

Growing up in Colombia, Quintana’s character traits were instilled in him by his father, Abel, who “taught me a lot about respect and confidence

in what you do. When I started in baseball, he talked about discipline. He said if you want to do this the rest of your life you have to get better every day.

I’m coming to spring training with that in my mind.’’

The only personal goal Quintana says he has in mind, for this season or his career, is to pitch in the World Series. Having him in a Sox rotation led

by Sale certainly doesn’t hurt the Sox’ cause. Both rank among the top nine pitchers in baseball over the last three seasons according to FanGraphs wins above replacement (from top to bottom, Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, David Price, Sale, Corey Kluber, Felix Hernandez, Jon Lester, Zack Greinke, Quintana, Madison Bumgarner).

“I could go on and on about Jose,’’ said John Danks, the longest-tenured Sox. “Quiet, does his work. He’s a veteran and leader, more by example.

“And I love watching him throw.

There are times I like watching him throw more than Chris. His mechanics.

He throws the ball where he’s trying to throw it from Day 1 of spring training to the end of the season. He’s a fun guy to watch and easy guy to root for.”

DONEVIN 4 YEAR 4 MONTH OLD MALE WHITE AND TAN DLH

This handsome blue eyed boy was found as a stray and taken to McHenry County Animal Control October 2015. They felt he would do better in another shelter so we transferred him over January 2016. He is a front declawed medium sized fluffy domestic long haired boy. He is not a big fella because fl he weighs about 9 pounds. Volunteers say he likes to be held, get scratches, pets and rubs. He is playful with toys but he can sometimes play a little rough. Because of that we feel he would do best in a home without small children. He is still wo adjusting to shelter life so he likes to be up high on a cat tree adj to see what is happening. Please come meet him at Helping Paws Pa located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois.

Donevin just reminded me to tell everyone to get their canDon vases va turned in by February 29th for Art for the Paws. He has been bee really impressed with what has been turned in so far. It's not too late to still get a canvas either. Donevin has been procrastinating about getting his canvas too. Go to www.helppr ingpaws.net to see where to pick up a canvas. They will all be ing on sale in an online auction to the public very soon. Donevin knows that 100% of the proceeds will go to Helping Paws for the cats and dogs. If you have any questions about Art for the Paws or Donevin please call the shelter at 815-338-4400.

CL native lands leads in Chicago dance productions

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Crystal Lake native Abby Ellison has gone from dance classes at Summers Academy of Dance to performances with The Berkshire Ballet Theatre to starring roles with Thodos Dance Chicago as a professional dancer.

The 25-year-old plays a lead role in “Sono’s Journey,” a contemporary dance story about the life of Sono Osato, a world-famous dancer, and will play Ann Sullivan in another contemporary dance story, “A Light in the Dark: The Story of Helen Keller and Ann Sullivan.”

“Sono’s Journey” debuted at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in January and will be reprised March 5 as part of a “Chicago Revealed” winter concert at the Harris Theatre in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Tickets for the performance range from $15 to $65 at 312-334-7777 or www.harristheaterchicago.org.

As part of “Sono’s Journey,” Ellison was able to meet Osato, now 96 years old, who attended one of the performances.

Osato grew up in Chicago in the

1940s, with her parents working as the caretakers of the original Japanese gardens in Hyde Park. At age 14, she auditioned on the stage of Auditorium Theatre and began her professional dancing career. She went on to perform on Broadway at the time of World War II when “anit-Jap” sentiment was high.

“I play the young woman Sono,” Ellison said. “Basically, all of her performing career is what I’m embodying for the performance. … It’s just enjoying performing and showing that through all the dancing I’m doing. I just let myself go and embody what she was. She’s such an amazing woman, especially for us dancers.”

Two other dancers portray Sono, both as a child and as an older Sono reflecting on her dance career.

Ellison’s role, along with others she’s taken on as part of the 12-member Thodos Dance company, are a dream come true. Thodos Dance members teach, choreograph and perform for the comany using a variety of dance forms.

Dancing since age 7, Ellison graduated from Crystal Lake South High School in 2009 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from

Abby Ellison Webster University in May 2014.

“I’ve always dreamt of just being able to dance as a career, since it’s very hard for anyone to be able to accomplish that,” she said.

Performed at 7:30 p.m. March 19 at the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, “A Light in the Dark: The Story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan” is another production Ellison is proud to play a lead role in as it involves calling upon her theatrical skills. Tickets for the production range in price from $40 to $45 at www. thodosdancechicago.org.

REVIEWS Regina M. Belt Daniels If you venture to Arlington Heights’ Metropolis Performing Arts Center to see the Olivier and Tony awardwinning production, “The 39 Steps,” I promise you two hours filled with guffaws, continuous applause and unending chuckles. Part spy-novel and who-dunnit, flavored with a dash of romance, “The 39 Steps” is an entertaining delight.

Based on Hitchcock’s 1935 classic film and strongly influenced by “Monty Python” and the comedy of Mel Brooks, “The 39 Steps” follows Londoner Richard Hannay’s flight as he becomes a fugitive on the run, wrongly blamed for the murder of seductive spy Annabella Schmidt.

This is a fast-paced and well-acted ensemble comedy – incredibly, just four actors. Ellen Cribbs, Joseph Daniels, Edward Fraim and Andrew Pond portray a variety of characters.

Fraim, as Hannay, is the consistently excellent heroic lynchpin of “The 39 Steps,” and Daniels and Pond are lightning-fast actors who sometimes portray multiple characters at the same time. (There are proportedly more than 100 characters, but you’re having so much fun, who counts?) This is an extremely attractive ensemble, both in physical appearance as well as in their acute physical comedy skills.

There is not a flawed scene or dropped line anywhere, and even wayward fog can’t dispell their talents.

Everything works together to make “The 39 Steps” a success. The set by Katie Alvord-Wendling, albeit simple, is uncluttered, but extremely effective with projections and wheeled-on and -off set pieces that pay tongue-in-cheek homage to Hitchcock (no spoiler alerts – you’ll know). The costumes by Rachel Parent are period appropriate, especially Hannay’s natty Harris Tweed (terribly British) and Pamela’s particularly tight red skirt and spectator heels.

Lighting Designer Chelsea Lynn and Fight Choreographer Tory Helgeson probably have the best sight gags

throughout. When Daniels and Pond (sounds like a vaudeville act) wheel out a board with Lynn’s program title and name and smirk, she immediatedly plunges them into pitch black darkness. Helgeson brings precise, crisp fake face slaps and rollicking floor wrestling.

Kudos to dialect coach Andrew Pond, who nailed the varying UK accents and ramped up the comedic complaints of a Scottish brogue. And it all ingeniously is directed by Metropolis regular David Belew.

It takes a lot of expertise and timing to make a comedy work so seamlessly, not to mention to bring to life the heroes, villains, men, women and children of the classic Hitchcock film and John

Riding his Felt fatty bike at Veteran Acres Park in Crystal Lake, Shannon Chapwesk of Johnsburg can traverse multiple trail conditions.

Floating on S

snow

More area riders tackle winter trails on fat bikes Story by CHRIS MORDI – editorial@nwherald.com Photos by H. RICK BAMMAN – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Fat bike tires are more than twice as wide as those on a traditional mountain bike.

hannon Chapwesk couldn’t take being indoors any longer.

Cabin fever had struck.

It didn’t matter that it was cold outside. The new snow on the ground was like a siren’s call. So were the fat tires he was going to use to make tracks through that snow.

Chapwesk, 45, of Johnsburg, belongs to a small, but growing, group of people in McHenry County riding fat bikes outdoors during the winter.

•••

Fat bikes got their start about a decade ago in Alaska. They are essentially mountain bikes with tires almost as wide as those found on off-road motorcycles. Up to 4 inches wide, the tires are designed to “float” over snow.

“I started riding fat bikes last year,” Chapwesk said. “During the winter, we used to put our road bikes in the [stationary] trainers, and you’d be stuck inside for three months. Now, we can actually pedal and go out to all of the trails.”

It took awhile for this kind of bike to catch on, but what really has driven the bike’s increase in popularity in recent years is the experience riding it provides, said Michael Zellmann, public relations manager for SRAM, a bicycle components manufacturer based in Chicago.

“Consumers got on this thing and said, ‘Hey, this is interesting, it’s fun, it’s new, it broadens the opportunities to ride a bike,’ ” he said.

Karrie Ozyuk, owner of the Lucky Brake bike shop in Crystal Lake, said customers who have bought fat bikes tell her they offer an alternative off-season fitness outlet. Bob Olson, owner of Wheel Werks, a bike shop in Crystal Lake, said he started seeing local interest in fat bikes nearly five years ago.

“We were one of the first shops in the area to get on top of it,” he said. “And it’s been great ever since.”

The ability to ride or “float” over the snow comes from the bike’s trademark tires. The most popular tire size is 3.7 to 4 inches wide, according to a 2014 survey by www.singletracks.com, a website about mountain biking.

The tires have treads similar to a tractor tire and raised blocks, called knobbies or studs, that allow cyclists to ride on ice.

Chapwesk said the big tires add some cushioning when riding the trails and offer more traction and confidence when going over bumpy paths. He’s taken the bike out in 6 inches of snow.

The tires are more than twice as wide as those on a traditional mountain bike, Olson said.

“You’ve got all that stability, all that traction, you can basically go anywhere,” said Olson, who rides the trails at Veteran Acres in Crystal Lake.

“It’s great,” he said. “When you take the main gravel trail, you have a lot of confidence in your stability. It smooths out the rocks.”

• FAT BIKE

Continued from page 12 According to the www.singletracks. com survey, 83 percent of respondents think fat bikes have excellent handling in the snow.

The survey found among those with no intention of buying a fat bike, 71 percent at least want to give it a try.

Although the big wheels make the bikes harder to pedal than others, Olson said, there’s a positive way to look at that.

“You shouldn’t be worrying about speed. You should be enjoying yourself and looking around,” he said.

The bikes also are a bit heavier than other bikes, Zellmann said, as they’re made for adventure.

“It’s basically the Jeep of bicycles,” Zellmann said.

Ranging in price from $600 to $6,000, Zellmann suggested keeping things simple when looking to buy a fat bike.

Many bikes come with one chain ring around the pedals and several gear sizes on the back wheel that make pedaling easier, he said.

“You want a wide gear range [in the back] because you are going to want to climb, you’re going to want to descend, you’re going to want to go over a lot of terrain,” he said.

Disc brakes definitely are a musthave because they have the power to slow the wheels, and they won’t get clogged with snow or mud.

“Take the bike out on a test ride, make sure it feels solid and that it fits you,” Zellmann said.

Kettle Moraine State Park near Whitewater, Wisconsin, long has been considered one of the best places to ride mountain bikes.

Ozyuk saw the park’s attraction firsthand when he went there with a friend.

“The whole parking lot was filled with fat bike riders,” he said. “It was awesome. It was a different energy and very friendly.”

There are several trails closer to home that offer a similar riding experience.

One of Chapwesk’s favorites is Veteran Acres in Crystal Lake.

Ozyuk likes riding the Prairie Trail that starts near the Wisconsin and Illinois border and ends in Algonquin.

“When Crystal Lake is frozen, it’s awesome. Going out there, a little bit of fog in the morning, doing loops around that,” he said. “Raceway Woods down in Carpentersville has been really popular this year. Moraine Hills [State Park], I heard that was pretty good. Even the Prairie Trail can be good.”

Hills popular for cyclists. Three trails, surfaced with crushed limestone, wind their way through the park. Enjoy the 2-mile Fox River Trail, the 3.2-mile Leatherleaf Bog Trail and the 3.7-mile Lake Defiance Trail. To keep you on track, trails are color-coded and one way. The fourth trail, the River Road trail is paved, and is 1.7 miles long. The park’s hours vary depending on the season and road conditions.

‘Triple 9’ muddled with too much story

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

“Triple 9” has everything going for it, and that’s its biggest handicap.

This tale of gangsters and crooked cops in Atlanta has got a murderer’s row of acting talent – Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Winslet and Woody Harrelson among them – an alluringly dark premise and bombastic bursts of greatness. But ultimately, director John Hillcoat (“The Proposition,” “The Road”) fails to meld the storytelling with the film’s ambitious scope, the way Michael Mann so proficiently did 21 years ago with his modern classic “Heat.”

“Triple 9” starts out auspiciously enough, with a pulsating and vividly executed bank robbery. It’s the kind of drawn-out sequence that can be enough to propel an entire film as you wait for another set piece to top it. There is one other masterfully choreographed raid about midway through, but by then you’re almost too caught up in the confusing who, what, where and why to indulge in the excitement.

Hillcoat, working from screenwriter Matt Cook’s Black List script, trusts the audience to weave together the narratives of its eight main characters by themselves without the help of exposition – a welcome challenge, but a frustrating one as well. There are just so many characters, subplots and motivations to keep track of that it feels more

“TRIPLE 9” STARRING: Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Kate Winslet PLOT: A gang of criminals and corrupt cops plan the murder of a police officer in order to pull off their biggest heist yet across town.

RATED: R for strong violence and language throughout, drug use and some nudity RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 55 minutes

like an extended pilot in the vein of “The Wire” or even “True Detective” than a contained movie.

The talented and endlessly watchable cast helps the confusing story chug along, even after you’ve given up hope of really understanding what exactly is going on or caring about any of the characters in the film. It’s not necessarily the fault of the actors. In fact, for the most part, you just crave more scenes with Ejiofor, Mackie, Harrelson and Collins. Casey Affleck, in particular, proves once again not only is he the more talented Affleck brother, but also could be one of the greats of his generation if he could just find films and roles worthy of his gift.

“Triple 9” imagines itself a sprawling, nihilistic epic, and it floats along for a while on the shoulders of its prestige filmmaking and cast, but ultimately the storytelling just isn’t up to the task.

William Ryan Homes cites enthusiastic buyer response to designs for one-level living Three ranch plans and a two-story with a first-floor master are popular

SUBURBAN CHICAGOLAND, IL – February 3, 2016 – Changing demographics and a resurgence in one-level floor plans are resulting in buyer enthusiasm for the three ranch plans and a two-story home with a firstfloor master bedroom being offered

by William Ryan Homes in their new home communities throughout the Chicago suburbs.

These floor plans are among a variety of distinctive two-story home designs that ensure that virtually every buyer can find a home that meets their needs and preferences.

“We are finding that not only active adults but also many young families are finding that ranch plans are very

convenient, especially when children are small,” said Chris Coleman, Chicago Division President. “In addition, some active adults may want to live in the same neighborhood as their children, so we are creating communities that appeal to all age groups and interests.”

Ranch plans and the Jensen two-story are offered in all William Ryan Homes communities around Chicagoland but not all ranch plans may be offered in every community. Prices vary by community, with the lowest base prices shown with each description.

“Our ranch plans include partial basements, popular mud rooms and

Highlights include an impressive foyer, great room with adjoining dining room and kitchen defined by a half wall peninsula and with a

I think everyone except the British electorate cared. They voted Churchill out of the Prime Minister’s office on July 26, 1945.

At the bridge table, if you are the declarer and make your contract, your partner will certainly care, even more so if it is a slam.

In today’s deal, how should South play in seven hearts after West leads the diamond king?

The auction was textbook Jacoby Forcing Raise. North’s two-no-trump response showed at least 13 support points and four or more hearts.

South’s four-club rebid guaranteed a five-card suit headed by at least two of the top three honors.

When in a grand slam, there is not much point counting losers, because you cannot afford any. Instead, count winners.

Here, declarer has seven winners outside trumps: one spade, one diamond and five clubs. So he needs six trump tricks, which can come from four winners and two spade ruffs in the South hand, a mini dummy reversal.

Declarer wins with the diamond ace, plays a heart to his ace (seeing the 4-0 break), leads a spade to dummy’s ace, ruffs a spade low in his hand, plays a heart to dummy’s nine, ruffs the last spade with his heart jack, leads a heart to the queen, and discards his second diamond on the heart king. Then he claims the last five tricks with his clubs.
