The epic massaging of Jack du Rue My name is Jack du Rue. I am a literary character created by the writer of this column. I don’t know whether he invented me out of boredom or the lack of a single creative thought or a bizarre psychological need to escape reality into another persona, but I’m here, and this is my story …

Now, I’m no macho guy, but I’m no Caspar Milquetoast, either. I’m a man of few necessities; give me some red meat and mashed potatoes to eat, a T-shirt and a pair of jeans to wear, and a TV with a remote, and I’m good to go. I drive a classic, rusty ’65 Dodge D-100 truck around town and my vintage push lawn mower is powered by a smoky Briggs and Stratton engine that makes that alternating rev/die sound that drives the neighbors crazy.

As far as appearances, a scalding hot shower a day with a bar of Lava soap keeps me clean. Mr. Gillette scrapes my face a few times a week. I go to a barber for a haircut and clip my own nails, and would rather smell broccoli cooking for a week than go to some namby-pamby spa place to get my face guacamolied and my body kneaded like a loaf of over-fermented Wonder Bread.

That’s why you’d find it a bit strange if I told you that I’ve just come home from my first massage. That’s right, a massage; you know, the kind where you lie down in a room lit by a Himalayan salt rock lamp listening to waterfall music while someone deeply nourishes your hide with oil that smells like a trail mix of almonds and apricots. Yep, that kind of massage.

Now, it really wasn’t my decision to get all rubbed up. It was the wife’s. It kinda went like this: “Jack, you’re always complaining about your aches and pains. I wonder if a massage would help.”

“Ruthie, the only thing that’s gonna fix those things is a time machine that takes me back to when I was young.”

“Oh, Jack, why don’t you just try it? You might just feel better.”

“Nah, massages are for wimps.”

But, deep down under my corrugated skin, my knotted up muscles were demanding a recon-

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava sideration. So much so that, if the wife brought it up again, I’d cry uncle and go. And she did.

“Jack, I still think a massage would help you.”

“I dunno.”

“Why don’t we make you an appointment?”

“I dunno.”

Ruthie knows that when I say “I dunno” it means I’ve cracked, so before you could say “Geriatric Deep Tissue” I was walking into the massage place.

As I stood there, the estrogen density level in the room was so high I immediately started retaining water. I was feeling moody. I was getting a headache. Then there was a hot flash. I had to get outta there, but before I could leave the receptionist saw me.

“Hi, can I help you?”

“Um, I’m here for my first massage.”

“Great! You’re going to love it!”

“You don’t happen to have a room for men that has sports stuff on the walls and neon beer lights and Metallica music, do you?”

“No, but I’m sure you will be comfortable in any of our rooms.”

Soon I found myself lying on a table with the glowing rock and splashing water music. And the trail mix oil. And the massage. The one that turned my muscles into Jello and transformed cranky Jack du Rue into blissful Jack da New. So, tough guys out there, lighten up and get a massage. Trust me, they’ll never rub you the wrong way.

TODAY’S TALKER California pony in unicorn getup captured after 3-hour hunt

MADERA, Calif. – The calls coming into a California Highway Patrol office in the San Joaquin Valley were alarming.

Officer Josh McConnell told KSEE-TV motorists were reporting a unicorn running around on the roadway Wednesday in rural Madera Ranchos.

More than three hours later the suspect was taken

into custody.

A not-so-mythical white pony named Juliette who wears a fake horn for photo sessions was illuminated by a CHP helicopter in an orchard and resident Renee Pardy used another horse to lead it out.

The ersatz unicorn’s owner, 5-year-old Tatum Boos, said Juliette was given a timeout for being a bad pony.

RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS

Presentations opportunity for advocates to drive home healthy behavior

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Jessica Culbertson asked a group of seventh-grade students if it was OK for a significant other to say they couldn’t live without them, a divide emerged in the Crystal Lake classroom.

About 20 students flocked to one side of the classroom, indicating they thought it might be all right.

But a handful of students – mostly boys – went straight for a sign that

Expansion plan moves forward MCC board vote OKs planning and design

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The planning and design phase of a $34 million expansion project at McHenry County College can move forward after a majority vote from the Board of Trustees on Thursday night.

Trustees voted, 5-3, to allow administrators to begin working with architects to design a project that will renovate and add space for science labs, health science facilities and student space. Trustees Molly Walsh, Linda Liddell, Cynthia Kisser, Chairman Mike Smith and student trustee Jeremy Sacramento voted in favor, while trustees Ron Parrish, Karen Tirio and Chris Jenner dissented.

Because the board intends to pay for roughly half the project – $15 million – through funds raised by a capital campaign involving the Friends of MCC Foundation, getting donations is crucial, trustees said. If the fundraising goal is not met by Dec. 31, when documents would go to bid, the project would stop, according to board documents.

Aside from the capital campaign, funding the project likely will include money

from the college’s fund balance, and revenue from a $10 per credit hour student infrastructure fee for fiscal 2017 that also was approved Thursday.

“The board unanimously approved it for a period of one year and it’s contingent upon a successful capital campaign,” Smith said, adding if private donations don’t come, the fee could be rescinded.

With the fee, the total per credit hour rate will increase to $120. In fiscal 2017, the fee is expected to generate about $1.17 million in revenue.

It would be implemented during the summer, and Smith said he expects the board will get a better idea what kind of donations are plausible within 45 to 60 days.

The project calls for an extension built between Buildings B and E, where the science labs and some student engagement space will live, Demonica Kemper and Associates Principle Dominick Demonica has said.

Health science will be moved from Building E to Building A, and the vacated space in Building E would become general classroom space. Meanwhile, student space will be to the east of the existing cafeteria and will include a larger space for student veterans.

The project includes renovating about 41,300 square feet, adding about 66,400 square feet, and roughly 13 percent of the new property will be for student space,

“Let’s study how we use our property, how we could reuse it ....

I don’t believe that’s happened here.”

Ron Parrish

McHenry County College Board of Trustees

Demonica said.

Before the vote, Parrish said he’d rather hold off for another month and wanted additional efficiency studies done, saying he thought past studies got “out of hand.”

“Let’s study how we use our property, how we could reuse it ...,” Parrish said, adding, “I don’t believe that’s happened here.”

He also expressed concern about the 10 percent contingency fee included in a cost breakdown provided to the board.

MCC President Clinton Gabbard and Demonica tried to put trustees’ minds at ease on that.

“We usually don’t spend more than 2 to 3 percent [on contingency],” Demonica said. “The reason we start at 10 percent is because there is an incredible amount of unknowns at this point.”

show one in three students will experience domestic violence in their teens.

State law requires schools provide domestic violence education in grades seven through 12. This year was the first time Lundahl Middle School students were introduced to the topic through Culbertson’s presentations.

To some, middle school might seem like a young age to start talking about violence in a dating relationship. Culbertson said statistics prove otherwise.

By eighth and ninth grade, 72 percent of students will be dating, she said.

Most violent behavior starts between the ages of 12 and 16, and does not favor one gender or any particular demographic, she said. According to loveisrespect.org, 10 percent of high school students have been purposefully hit, slapped or hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend. That doesn’t account for

noticed you don’t see your friends anymore.’ ” The most important things for teens to remember is they should talk to someone if they feel abused, she said, adding only two-thirds of them will.

The Lake in the Hills Police Department tries to stem abuse through its teen safety series, an intensive threeweek program. Designed for students ages 12 through 16, the sessions discuss teen violence, cyberbullying and social media safety, sexual assault and stalking, among other topics.

McHenry County’s Family Violence Coordinating Council has hosted presentations on the topic, coordinator Bev Thomas said. In her eyes, the earlier kids know about what is acceptable treatment and what’s not, the better.

“They don’t have to accept it if a boyfriend, girlfriend or a friend pushes them into a locker,” Thomas said. “... It doesn’t have to be tolerated, to be pinched, to be slapped, to be hit in any instance.”

emotional or verbal abuse.

“When they say ‘I’m the best you can get, you’ll never get better than me,’ a lot of them don’t have that experience to say they can,” Culbertson said.

During teenage years, a lot of the abuse revolves around technology, Culbertson said. Teens will check Instagram or Facebook to see who their significant other is friends with or following. They also might demand to know the password to their boyfriend or girlfriend’s phone.

She admits it can be tricky, but in general any controlling behavior that tries to isolate one person or seems based in extreme jealousy should not be taken lightly. Parents shouldn’t confront their child, but instead should point out little signs and talk to them, Culbertson said.

“You could kind of say, ‘Hey, do you think it’s OK they are texting you this?’ ” Culbertson said. “ ‘Do you think it’s OK they are demanding you do this? I

Tony Burton, trainer in first 6 ‘Rocky’ films, has died

LOS ANGELES – Tony Burton, the veteran character actor best known for brief but memorable appearances as the no-nonsense trainer and cornerman in the first six “Rocky” movies, has died.

He was 78. Burton’s wife, Aurelian, said the actor died of pneumonia Thursday at a Southern California hospital.

Failing health had prevented him from appearing in “Creed,” the seventh “Rocky” movie. Sylvester Stallone is nominated for an Oscar for that film at Sunday’s ceremony.

In the first two “Rocky” movies, Burton is heavyweight champion Apollo Creed’s trainer when Creed defends, and eventually loses, his title to Stallone’s Rocky Balboa. In subsequent films, he becomes Rocky’s cornerman and confidant. Burton also appeared in dozens of other films and TV shows, including “The Shining,” “Sanford and Son” and “The Rockford Files.”

CELEBRATION OF A CENTURY – Doris (Lumpp) Berg celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends Feb. 17 at The Fountains at Crystal Lake. Born and raised in Skokie, Doris married Theodore Berg of Morton Grove in 1937. The couple moved to Crystal Lake in 1958, where they raised three sons, Theodore Jr. (Jack) of Lake Forest, James (Jim) of Crystal Lake and John of Fort Myers, Fla. Doris was a long-time volunteer for Immanuel Lutheran Church, visiting shut-ins, serving Communion and answering phones at The Pointe Outreach Center.

She has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, with a 10th on the way. Jim Berg (right) and his wife, Susen, hosted Doris’ birthday celebration.

Algonquin

Village offers rain barrels, composters for residents Village residents will have the opportunity to buy rain barrels and composters through the village’s partnership with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County.

The village encourages the use of rain barrels as part of its water conservation program. The barrels are placed under a downspout to collect and store rain water, which then can be used to water gardens during dry weather.

Residents can put fruit scraps, vegetable waste and yard waste into composters to help reduce the amount

of garbage sent to a landfill. The natural process produces organic compost, great for use in the garden.

To order a rain barrel or composter, visit www.conservemc.org or call 815-337-9502 by May 13. When placing an order online, check the box for Algonquin pickup.

Orders may be picked up between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. May 20 at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, or by arrangement the following week.

For information, call Katie Parkhurst at 847-658-4184.

Sediment build up will cause a loss of efficiency and can be responsible for a diminished capacity of hot water. The more sediment in the tank requires the burners to be on longer which will eventually cause tank failure. Draining an old tank that already has solidified sediment will not solve the problem. If you have or are planning to have a new water heater installed, you should drain some water from it on a regular basis to prevent sediment formation.

There are several different kinds of noises that can come from your water heater. The most common one that we encounter is the rumbling type. This occurs when the burners ignite to heat the water. If the tank has sediment build up, then the heat will cause the sediment to move and bump into the inner wall of the tank. This is the rumbling noise that is usually heard. Once the sediment has solidified it is almost impossible to get rid of.

Water heaters, like most other appliances, are taken for granted by most homeowners until there is a problem.

Typically, the average water heater is good for 10-15 years.

The quality of the water has a lot to do with the longevity of a tank. The more filtered the incoming water, the less sediment gets into the tank.

Dems push for automatic voter registration

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Top Illinois Democrats threw their support behind a plan for automatic voter registration in the state, saying Friday that a new modernized process could boost civic engagement and cut costs.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, along with youth and minority advocacy groups, pitched the proposal as a way to remove barriers and contrast Republican-led efforts in other states, such as voter ID laws, that they say curb voter eligibility.

“We believe that giving people an opportunity to register and to vote is the best way for them to exercise their democratic options, their democratic rights, and be part of a process that changes the government in years to come,” Durbin said.

The Illinois proposal, which is similar to laws in Oregon and California, would automatically register qualified residents to vote when they go to a sec-

Illinois lawmakers look to suspend late renewal fees

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers want to end late fees for license plate renewal stickers after some residents said they felt blindsided when the state stopped mailing reminders to save money.

“I know a lot of people, my constituents, that missed the deadline, had to pay fines. It’s not fair. It’s something we should definitely address,” Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said.

The pot of tardy-renewal cash – expected to keep growing for the foreseeable future – is the latest twist in Illinois’ interminable budget standoff, which has squeezed state agencies and forced them to find creative ways to stay afloat while waiting for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic-led Legislature to finally pass a spending plan.

The decision from the secretary of state’s office to stop the reminders,

which the agency said was done out of necessity, has dramatic results: The revenue from the $20 late fines has more than doubled for the first two months of this year, according to figures provided to The Associated Press.

Drivers paid more than $2.7 million in fines from Jan. 1 through Feb. 22. Last year, the state collected about $1.5 million in fines for those two months.

“Surprise costs are not fair for families who have to plan their household budget and are struggling to get by,” said Rep. Jaime Andrade, a Chicago Democrat who introduced legislation this month to suspend the fines until the state has a budget. The proposal is scheduled for its first committee hearing Wednesday.

Budget crisis prompts possible layoffs at colleges

CHICAGO – Illinois’ ongoing state budget crisis has led Chicago State University to tell its 900 employees that they could be laid off and Western Illinois University to announce $20 million in budget cuts over the next two years.

Public universities in Illinois haven’t received any state funding for eight months because of the state’s budget impasse.

Western Illinois said that means it’ll need to reduce its faculty and staff by 100

Cullerton said Illinois is already leader in voter access, something noted by President Barack Obama last week, and the proposal was a next step.

Illinois teens who are 17 years old can vote in primaries if they turn 18 by the general election. The state also began same-day voter registration in 2014. Republicans have alleged both laws were attempts to boost Democratic voter turnout ahead of critical contests, and Illinois GOP leaders also expressed reservations Friday about the new registration proposal.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said potential voters should have to choose to opt in, not vice versa.

Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno said through a spokeswoman that she’s willing to review the proposal, but Democrats also should consider term limits. Messages to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s spokeswoman weren’t immediately returned.

The likelihood of Illinois having au-

tomatic registration before November is uncertain.

Backers insist it’s possible, even as issues in Springfield are overshadowed by the historic budget stalemate between the Democrat-majority Legislature and the Republican governor.

But if automatic registration is approved, the system still would have to be developed.

State Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat, said he sponsored the bill in part as a cost-cutting measure, although he wasn’t able to immediately detail how much the state would save.

Estimates on new potential voters also were scarce, but one projection by New York-based public policy organization Demos said it could be about 1 million Illinois voters.

Still, advocacy groups said the plan would inspire voters.

House panel to review private economic agency

CHICAGO – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has formed a bipartisan committee to review the privately run and funded economic development corporation created by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner to attract new businesses to the state.

The Democratic House speaker announced the creation of the committee Wednesday, saying it’s necessary to ensure transparency with the agency Rauner launched earlier this month through executive order.

Rauner created the Illinois Business and Economic Development Corp. to work with the state’s commerce agency in offering incentives to companies. Rauner said the corporation will draw on private sector resources with proper checks and

Rauner seeks federal aid for Illinois flood damage

BELLEVILLE – Gov. Bruce Rauner has asked the federal government to approve disaster assistance for property owners and local governments damaged by early-winter floods.

The governor’s office said Friday that it’s seeking individual assistance for residents and business owners in Alexander, Christian, Clinton, Douglas, Iroquois, Jersey, Madison, Randolph, Sangamon and St. Clair counties. Rauner also wants federal public assistance for local governments in five of those counties as well as 11 others.

State and federal assessments determined that nearly 700 homes were damaged in the late December and early January floods.

Public expenses and damages totaled more than $15 million. That amount falls short of the Federal Emergency Management Agency threshold for reimbursement, but Rauner said the determination should include consideration of local government costs from previous storm damage.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump listens as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie speaks before a rally Friday in Fort Worth, Texas. Christie backed Trump in the Republican race for president, a powerhouse endorsement as the billionaire tries to beat back assaults on his character from a newly aggressive rival, Marco Rubio.

Trump wins Christie’s support in GOP race The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas – Donald Trump scored a powerhouse endorsement Friday as he sought to regain headway in a Republican presidential race that devolved into a series of fierce insults and schoolyard taunts heading into the weekend before Super Tuesday contests.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stunned the Republican establishment by swinging behind the New York billionaire, declaring “there is no better fighter than Donald Trump.” Taking the cue, Trump unleashed a raw assault on Marco Rubio, who went after him with fury on the debate stage the night before.

Trump called the first-term Florida senator “a nervous basket case,” “a choke artist,” “a frightened little puppy” and insulted the size of his ears. “This is a low-life,” Trump said of Rubio, not leaving out Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“Cruz lies, but at least it’s reasonable lies.”

Earlier, Rubio joked that Trump might have wet his pants backstage on debate night.

Christie’s endorsement came after Rubio shattered months of relative peace with the Republican front-runner by repeatedly attacking Trump’s character in the debate. Christie caught the room by surprise when he stepped out to join Trump at a Forth Worth news conference announcing the governor’s support.

The shift marked the beginning of a long-awaited Trump takedown effort that was cheered by anxious Republicans nationwide who question Trump’s party loyalty and fear he’s unelectable in a general election.

Christie’s support gave Trump an opportunity to turn the attention back to himself, as he has done repeatedly during trouble spots in the campaign. His critics acknowledge they are running out of time to stop him.

He’s won three consecutive primary contests and looks strong in many of the 11 states participating in Tuesday’s mega-round of voting. A close look at the delegate math suggests that he could have an insurmountable delegate lead by mid-March if trends don’t change quickly.

Cruz said the Christie endorsement had little impact on his own focus on Super Tuesday.

He suggested the development was “troubling news” for Rubio’s campaign, which had been courting the tough-talking New Jersey governor since he dropped his own presidential candidacy earlier in the month. Instead of securing a new ally, Rubio found himself on the wrong end of the Christie’s attacks.

“Desperate people do desperate things,” Christie said of Rubio while standing at Trump’s side. “The idea that Marco Rubio can get inside Donald Trump’s head is an interesting proposition.”

CEO defends Apple’s resistance in FBI iPhone case

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

CUPERTINO, California – Apple CEO Tim Cook got a standing ovation Friday at his first stockholder meeting since his company’s epic clash with the FBI unfolded. He defended the company’s unbending stance by saying: “These are the right things to do.”

On Thursday, the tech giant formally challenged a court order to help the FBI unlock an encrypted iPhone used by a murderous extremist in San Bernardino, California.

Federal officials have said they’re only asking for narrow assistance in bypassing some of the phone’s security features. But Apple contends the order would force it to write a software program that would make other iPhones vulnerable to hacking by authorities or criminals in the future.

Major tech companies are rallying to Apple’s cause, and now plan a joint “friend of the court” brief on its behalf.

Facebook said it will join with Google, Twitter and Microsoft on a joint court filing. A Twitter spokeswoman confirmed that plan, but said that different companies and trade associations will likely file “multiple” briefs.

Apple filed court papers on Thursday that asked U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym to reverse her order on the grounds that the government had no legal authority to force the company to weaken the security of its own products. The company accused the government of seeking “dangerous power” through the courts and of trampling on its constitutional rights.

The dispute raises broad issues of legal and social policy, with at least one poll showing 51 percent of Americans think Apple should cooperate by helping the government unlock the iPhone.

Apple CEO Tim Cook responds to a question during a news conference April 30 in New York. Cook defended his company’s opposition to the FBI’s iPhone-hacking plan at the company’s annual shareholder meeting Friday, one day after the tech giant formally challenged a court order to help the FBI unlock an encrypted iPhone used by a murderous extremist in San Bernardino, Calif.

“If they went out of their way to destroy the other phones, there’s a pretty good chance there may not be anything of value. This may be a whole lot of saber rattling and back and forth for nothing.”

San Bernardino’s police chief agencies insist they need to get into the phone in order to run down every lead in the San Bernardino shootings, which were at least partly inspired by the Islamic State extremist group.

But skeptics have questioned whether this particular device – a work phone issued by one shooter’s employer – is likely to contain much useful information. Both assailants took care to destroy their personal phones before the

massacre.

Some police officials acknowledge similar doubts.

“If they went out of their way to destroy the other phones, there’s a pretty good chance there may not be anything of value,” said Jarrod Burguan, San Bernardino’s police chief. “This may be a whole lot of saber rattling and back and forth for nothing.”

Burguan, however, believes police

still have “a duty and a responsibility” to make sure there’s no useful evidence on the phone.

It’s unclear how the controversy might affect Apple’s business. Analysts at Piper Jaffray said a survey they commissioned last week found the controversy wasn’t hurting the way most Americans think about Apple or its products.

At least one shareholder at Friday’s meeting voiced support for the company’s stance.

“Apple is 100 percent correct in not providing or doing research to create software to break into it,” said Tom Rapko, an Apple investor from Santa Barbara, California, as he waited in line to enter the auditorium at Apple’s headquarters. “I think if you give the government an inch, they’ll take a yard.”

Cook offered only brief remarks about the FBI case, and most questions from shareholders concerned other aspects of Apple’s business. But the CEO won praise during the meeting from the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Internet rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

“We applaud your leadership,” said Jackson, a longtime civil rights leader and former adviser to Martin Luther King, Jr. “I recall the FBI wiretapping Dr. King in the civil rights movement,” Jackson added. “We cannot go down this path again. Some of us do remember the days of (former FBI director J. Edgar) Hoover and McCarthy and Nixon and enemies lists.”

Apple’s share price has seen little change since the issue erupted in the news last week. Overall, however, the company’s stock has declined in recent months over worries that iPhone sales were slowing around the world.

A hearing on the iPhone legal dispute is scheduled for next month.

U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that the military has launched a newly aggressive campaign of cyberattacks against Islamic State militants. thorized to discuss it publicly. Much of the effort is classified.

Carter mentioned the operations briefly Thursday, telling a House Appropriations subcommittee only that Cyber Command is beginning to conduct operations against the Islamic State group. He declined to say more in a public setting.

The more aggressive attacks come after months of pressure from Carter, who has been frustrated with the belief that the Pentagon – and particularly Cyber Command – was losing the war in the cyber domain.

Late last year Carter told cyber commanders they had 30 days to bring him options for how the military could use its cyberwarfare capabilities against the group’s deadly insurgency across Iraq and Syria, and spreading

to Libya and Afghanistan. Officials said he told commanders that beefing up cyberwarfare against the Islamic State group was a test for them, and that they should have both the capability and the will to wage the online war.

But the military cyber fight is limited by concerns within the intelligence agencies that blocking the group’s Internet access could hurt intelligence gathering.

Officials said Carter told commanders that he wanted creative options that would allow the U.S. to impact Islamic State without diminishing the indications or warnings intelligence officers can glean about what the group is doing.

On Jan. 27, Carter and Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went to Fort Meade for

WASHINGTON – Not long after Defense Secretary Ash Carter prodded his cyber commanders to be more aggressive in the fight against the Islamic State, the U.S. ramped up its offensive cyberattacks on the militant group.

According to several U.S. officials, the attacks are targeting the group’s abilities to use social media and the Internet to recruit fighters and inspire followers, U.S. officials told The Associated Press.

U.S. officials confirmed that operations launched out of Fort Meade, Maryland, where the U.S. Cyber Command is based, have focused on disrupting the group’s online activities. The Ash Carter officials said the effort is getting underway as operators try a range of attacks to see what works and what doesn’t. They declined to discuss details, other than to say that the attacks include efforts to prevent the group from distributing propaganda, videos or other types of recruiting and messaging on social media sites such as Twitter, and across the Internet in general.

Other attacks could include attempts to stop insurgents from conducting financial or logistical transactions online.

The surge of computer-based military operations by U.S. Cyber Command began shortly after Carter met with commanders at Fort Meade last month.

Several U.S. officials spoke about the cyber campaign on condition of anonymity because they were not au-

an update.

Officials familiar with Carter’s meetings said the secretary was frustrated that as Cyber Command has grown and developed over the past several years, it was still focused on the cyberthreats from nations, such as Iran, Russia and China, rather than building a force to block the communications and propaganda campaigns of Internet-savvy insurgents.

“He was right to say they could be more forward leaning about what they could possibly do against ISIS,” said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “You could disrupt their support networks, their business networks, their propaganda and recruitment networks.”

However, Lewis added, the U.S. needs to be careful about disrupting the Internet to insure that attacks don’t also affect civilian networks or systems needed for critical infrastructure and other public necessities.

U.S. officials have long been stymied by militants’ ability to use the Internet as a vehicle for inspiring socalled lone wolf attackers in Western nations, radicalized after reading propaganda easily available online.

“Why should they be able to communicate? Why should they be using the Internet?” Carter said during testimony before the defense appropriations subcommittee. “The Internet shouldn’t be used for that purpose.”

He added that the U.S. can conduct cyber operations under the legal authorities associated with the ongoing war against the Islamic State group.

The U.S. also has struggled to defeat high-tech encryption techniques used by Islamic State and other groups to communicate. Experts have been working to find ways to defeat those programs.

Honoring new set of heroes The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To the 12 first responders being honored in today’s Everyday Heroes special section. Our police, fire and EMT personnel are vital parts of our community. The 12 individuals singled out in our special section do diverse things and have different occupations, but they all share one characteristic: a desire to serve our communities and the people in them. We salute: • McHenry Police officer John Adams; • Crystal Lake Police Sgt. Mike Bennett; • Huntley Fire Protection District Chief Ken Caudle; • Glenview Fire Department Lt. Wesley Crain; • Huntley Fire Protection District Battalion Chief David Eeg; • McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Theresa Harper; • Huntley Police Sgt. Linda Hooten; • Streamwood Police Cpl. William Husfield; • McHenry Police Sgt. Daniel Kreassig; • Woodstock Police officer Jeremy Mortimer; • McHenry Township Fire Protection District firefighter and paramedic Jerry Schillaci; • Retired Algonquin-LITH Fire Protection District Capt. Joe Teson.

Thumbs up: To Heineman Middle School teacher Lynn Petryniec, who helped choking sixth-grader Emma Farr during lunch Jan. 28 to dislodge a Cheez-It so she could start breathing again. Petryniec was recognized for her actions at last week’s School District 158 Board meeting, with Farr and friend Melanie Taranis, who ran to get help from Petryniec that day, in attendance.

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

Thumbs up: To several local law enforcement agencies who’ve made a few significant heroin busts this week, including one in Algonquin and 72 bags of heroin seized in Wauconda. Law enforcement is one of the key pieces in fighting this national epidemic, but there is still much work to be done.

Thumbs up: To Woodman’s Food Market for planning a new development in Lakemoor. The multi-unit development could bring 220 new jobs to Lakemoor, village officials announced Monday. The project still has a few hurdles to clear, including a lawsuit from Wauconda’s school district regarding tax increment financing, but this project seems like a good fit and positive news for the community.

Trump’s debate disaster – if voters notice

By JONATHAN BERNSTEIN Bloomberg View

Financier Donald Trump is better at TV than anyone else who ever has appeared in presidential debates. Much better.

He also has no capacity at all to speak coherently on policy.

He’s lazy: He’s developed about five minutes, maybe 10, of talking points, and he sticks with them. And as one crazy billionaire on a sitcom said when he ran for president, Trump doesn’t just have skeletons in his closet.

He has “skeletons running around eating leftovers from the fridge.”

Of course, many people have written about Trump’s lack of policy knowledge, but it hasn’t been dramatized in front of a large audience yet. On Thursday night, Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz turned their attacks on him, and fully exposed him as basically a fraud and a buffoon.

The biggest moment came on health care, when Trump was repeatedly urged by CNN’s Dana Bash and by Rubio to go beyond “get rid of the lines,” which is all Trump has rehearsed on the subject. He couldn’t. Rubio, quick on the uptake after his infamous glitch in the pre-New Hampshire debate, pointed out that Trump was now repeating himself; in fact, he continued, “I just watched you repeat yourself five times five seconds ago” and proceeded to mock Trump’s slogans.

It was great theater, and it also was dead-on accurate. That’s what Trump has: A handful of slogans to fill in on each subject, which he repeats as much as necessary. That, and, of course, talking about how great he is.

Maybe Republican voters don’t care; after all, they’ve been trained by their party to oppose the very idea of complex government policy, including conserva-

tive policies. At least Thursday night it was more obvious than usual that Trump is wildly unprepared for the office he is seeking.

Cruz and, especially, Rubio came prepared to hit Trump hard on personal issues as well, including a civil lawsuit he’s currently been slapped with over “Trump University” and over hiring foreign workers for a Florida project. While these had been reported on before, they were new to the Republican debate stage. As was pressure on Trump to release his tax returns, an issue raised by former Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, of all people.

To my eyes, Trump’s performance was a disaster, start to finish, but my eyes aren’t important. What will matter is how a third of the Republican electorate reacts to it – the third who are not yet sold on Trump, but not yet repulsed by him either.

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.

Wilbrandt the right choice

To the Editor: I have known Dan Wilbrandt for about three years. I have worked with Dan for that entire time and have grown to call him a personal friend.

While other candidates have promised they will work hard for the people of the 66th House District, I know Dan will be the only person who will be able to fulfill that promise. From walking door to door in the blistering heat or the freezing cold to waking up before dawn to assist in training officers in field sobriety testing, Dan consistently has demonstrated he is the best and only choice to send to Springfield.

There is no other candidate in this race with the qualifications, the education or work ethic that even can compare to what Dan has to offer. Make the right choice and elect Dan Wilbrandt.

Kenneally a great choice

To the Editor: Our McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office is an extremely professional and dedicated group that works hard to keep us safe through its efforts to punish the criminals who threaten us while

helping those in need get back on their feet through its specialty courts (mental health, first offender and drugs).

One of its leaders is Patrick Kenneally, an intelligent, articulate and charismatic individual who is dedicated to his family, his work and our community. Patrick has the experience to keep this office moving forward and true to its open, straightforward, reasoned and fiscally responsible way.

He’s unlike his opponent in this primary who, after losing an election in 2008, filed a politically motivated request to hire a special prosecutor to investigate the office which twice was proven in court to be totally baseless and tremendously expensive to taxpayers.

I hope you join me in voting for Patrick Kenneally for state’s attorney.

Draffkorn very responsive

To the Editor: I write this letter in support of McHenry County Board District 4 member Sue Draffkorn.

I have known Sue personally for more than 25 years. Sue has her roots in McHenry County as a resident and former business owner of her parents’ hardware store in Wonder Lake. She knows the challenges, obstacles and opportunities small businesses face every day. She understands and has lived the challenges of meeting a family and business budget. Small businesses are the foundation of our local rural economy, and I know she will continue to be an advocate for their health and growth.

Sue has been a very active member of the McHenry County Board for 13 years, and I have found her to be a very responsive representative of her entire district.

This is an important election, and I urge you to vote for her.

Dan’s opponent is barely a resident of McHenry County. We need one of us to serve all of us. Dan Regna is one of us.

His opponent is not.

We can trust Dan Regna to serve McHenry County.

support Demetri Tsilimigras.

He has a proven track record of standing up and doing the right thing. Demetri is unbelievably experienced, has the courage to make the correct decisions and is extremely qualified to become our next circuit judge. He is a veteran prosecutor who is committed to justice.

Demetri is running for all the right reasons and doesn’t come with any agendas.

He is exactly what we need as a circuit court judge. Vote Demetri Tsilimigras for judge.

Gottemoller is a role model

Swartout a hero

Woodstock

To the Editor: Our County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller is running for re-election and has earned my support and vote.

Joe embodies the traits of honesty, integrity and accountability, and he displays these character traits daily. Chairman Gottemoller shows his professionalism, paired with respect to all 24 board members, guides board discussions and produces good public policy.

In an era where negative campaigning meant to gin up angry voters is all too prevalent, it is refreshing to see Joe conducting an honest, issue-based campaign that focuses on his notable accomplishments and his plan for protecting taxpayers in the future.

As a public servant and elected official, Joe Gottemoller is a role model that others could learn from. He shows us daily it is possible to bring about positive change while maintaining one’s values and integrity. Please join me in voting for Joe Gottemoller in March.

Support for Wilbeck

To the Editor: I wanted to share with you my support for Tom Wilbeck in his bid for the McHenry County Board District 1 seat.

I have the pleasure of being a Barrington-area real estate broker. I have bought and sold many homes in McHenry County over the years. The No. 1 concern most of my clients have is their taxes.

It was a constant topic of conversation at an open house I held recently in Crystal Lake – in an area were the average tax bill is $20,000.

Tom’s first priority, among others, is to lower taxes in McHenry County. I feel strongly he will be the best person to do this.

Please vote for him March 15.

To the Editor: Nothing is more important than a fiscally responsible advocate on the County Board, and no one is more qualified than Nancy Gonsiorek.

I have been impressed with her ability to work with diverse views and not only be a voice of reason, but also work collaboratively with others to reach common-sense solutions.

These are the type of traits we need on the County Board.

As a CPA for more than 25 years and a small business owner, Nancy not only brings a strong financial background to oversee the spending at the county level, but she understands the importance of a strong small business community to promote economic growth within the county.

As a member of the School District 47 Board and a champion for protecting the quality of our groundwater, Nancy is the type of leader we need to protect our natural resources and ensure McHenry County remains economically vibrant.

Vote for Gonsiorek.

U.S. economy starts 2016 with a bang after strong 2015 finish Consumer spending in January posts largest increase since May

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy got a double dose of good news Friday. Economic growth in the final three months of 2015 didn’t slow as much as previously estimated, and consumers roared back to life in January, spending at the fastest clip in eight months.

The Commerce Department said that consumer spending increased 0.5 percent last month, the best showing since May and far higher than the tiny 0.1 percent gain in December.

Economists are expecting stronger consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of economic activity, to lift overall economic growth in the new year after a fourth-quarter slowdown.

In a separate report, the government said the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, grew at an annual rate of 1 percent in the fourth quarter. That’s an improvement from the first estimate of 0.7 percent, though just half the 2 percent growth posted in the third quarter.

The revision was made because the downturn in business stockpiling was less severe than the government’s first estimate. That helped offset slightly weaker consumer spending.

The Federal Reserve closely is watching economic data to determine how fast it needs to raise interest rates this year.

The spending report showed inflation, by a price measure preferred by the Fed, rose by 1.3 percent in the 12 months ending in January.

That is nearly double the 0.7 percent 12-month gain seen in December but still below the Fed’s inflation target of 2 percent annual price increases.

Still, the inflation jump was sharp enough that it is sure to attract attention among Fed officials who are watching price increases for signals on how fast to raise interest rates.

The Fed boosted a key rate by a quarter point in December, moving it from a record low near zero, where it had been for seven years.

After a stretch of economic turbulence at the beginning of the year, economists had trimmed their forecasts for 2016 rate hikes from four down to two.

But if inflation accelerates more, that could encourage the Fed to move rates higher more quickly.

Shoppers stop to look in the window of a lighting store in the Design District of Miami Beach, Fla. The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday issued the second of three estimates of how the U.S. economy performed in the October-December quarter.

The latest GDP figure does little to change the fact that growth in the final months of 2015 was modest. Since then, global weakness and financial market turbulence have triggered worries about the potential fallout on the U.S. economy.

Still, economists are confident that GDP is poised to accelerate this quarter.

Steady job gains and faster wage growth are boosting consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy.

“First-quarter GDP growth is on track to rebound to a very healthy 2.5 percent (rate) which should dampen any concerns about an imminent recession,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

The fourth-quarter figure marks the slowest growth in six months, since the economy skidded to a weak 0.6 percent showing in the first quarter last year.

That was followed by a solid rebound to 3.9 percent in the second quarter and then the 2 percent gain in the summer.

Friday’s upward revision stems from a tweak in the government’s data for business stockpiles.

That translated into a 0.1 percentage point drag on growth, rather than a 0.5 percentage point drag initially reported.

This change could weigh on first quarter activity if businesses are reluctant to add to their stockpiles.

In addition, the trade deficit subtracted 0.3 percentage point from growth, rather than the 0.5 percentage point drag in the first report. Exports still suffered, reflecting the struggle American manufacturers are having from a stronger dollar.

But the country imported less than first thought.

Consumer spending grew at a 2 percent rate in the fourth quarter, down from an initial estimate of 2.2 percent. Also weighing on growth in the fourth quarter was a downward revision to government spending, which fell at a 0.1 percent rate instead of a 0.7 percent rise first reported.

All the changes in the fourth quarter left GDP growth for the year unchanged at 2.4 percent, the same as 2014.

Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Corp., forecasts that GDP will expand 2.3 percent this year, little changed from the past two years.

“The decline in stock prices is something to watch out for, but consumer spending is being helped by rising home prices that are boosting household wealth, continued solid job growth and increased wage growth,” Faucher said.

Manufacturer closes Woodstock plant Monday, officials say

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – An upcoming job fair in Woodstock could help the many workers who have lost jobs at Silgan Plastics and other job seekers in McHenry County secure employment.

The McHenry County Workforce Network will host the fair from 1 to 5 p.m.

Monday at its center, 500 Russel Court.

Representatives from 10 area manufacturers will be present to meet prospective employees and gather applications for numerous open positions.

Network officials put together the fair with a goal to match the skills of the more than 150 Silgan Plastics employees, who lost their jobs after the plastics manufacturer announced last fall it would close its remaining plant in Woodstock, with area employers’ needs.

But employers at the fair also will be looking to fill administrative positions, said Linda Kasprzak, the network’s busi-

“It’s important for any job seeker to get that all important face time with employers not only for current opportunities but also for something that may open up in the future,” she said.

The job fair Monday afternoon is open to any qualified job seeker looking for a career with numerous employers in the area.

The list includes: Berry Plastics in Woodstock; Catalent Pharma Solutions in Woodstock; Chroma Corporation in McHenry; Extech Plastics in Richmond; Fabrik Plastics in McHenry; Medtron-

ic in Crystal Lake; Novation Industries in McHenry; PolyOne Corporation in McHenry; Ring Container Technology in Rockford; and Technipaq in Crystal Lake.

For a list of the open positions at each employer, visit the “Employer Events” page at mchenrycountyworkforce.com.

Aside from opening the fair to the public, the countywide workforce network has advertised the event directly to 170 employees at Silgan Plastics with help from the company’s local human resource associate, Kasprzak said.

In November, the North American plastics container maker announced it would close its Tubes facility in Woodstock and lay off at least 150 employees who worked mostly in manufacturing as part of a business restructure.

Silgan Plastics exited the county with the decision. It closed its other plant in Woodstock a few years earlier in 2011.

Silgan Plastics’ Tubes plant officially will close on Monday, according to the network.

Is your business looking ahead or behind?

On Feb. 10, the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its first State of Huntley address. We were able to hear and see the state of Huntley – where the community was at 20 years ago, where it is today and where it is headed both conceptually and financially.

The keynote speakers were Village Manager Dave Johnson and Huntley School District 158 Superintendent John Burkey. Both used a great example that showed whether your own business, organization or government entity is looking ahead or behind.

As Johnson referenced, “Are you looking in your rear view mirror or looking forward through the windshield.” Essentially, when you look at where you were (the rear view), you are provided with a point of reference. But to move your business organization or individual success ahead, you need to prepare for future risks and implement a strategy that moves you forward.

So, here is the example referenced in a much abbreviated version and without the irreplaceable video to really do it justice. And if you are in your 20s, I’m not sure you will be able to relate to the example.

Twenty years ago, going to a brickand-mortar location to pick out a

CHAMBER NEWS Sunday Graham movie was typical. You had to have your plastic checkout card with you to rent a movie. Sometimes, you could keep the movie two or three nights.

If you wanted the hottest new movie release, it was a rush to get to the store first.

If you were too slow, you went on a waiting list and waited for someone to return the movie, so you could rent it. If your first movie choice was not available, you sometimes would wander the store for what seemed like an eternity, looking for another option. While that business model was a huge success for a time, it quickly gained direct competition and then came innovation.

The next “new thing” in movie rentals was brightly colored vending machines located outside of various retailers. This brought more convenience.

The prices tended to be cheaper, and it was a quicker option for busy families and adults.

Online streaming options then

started, challenging big-box movie rental stores and box rental machines.

Now, it’s common to watch a movie or TV show online anytime, anywhere through a computer or a smart device.

The option is extremely convenient and allows for unlimited people to see the same movie. After all, there aren’t a limited number of copies available for rent anymore. For most, this is the new way to rent a movie. This is an example of a new, innovative business model.

During the address, Huntley and District 158 shared its visions, and how both consistently look ahead, prepare for the “next thing” and implement a vision of innovation. And the chamber takes the same approach. We have realigned our financial and human resources. We are looking ahead. We have a vision to provide business resources, networking, support and advocacy. We also will be taking historic steps in our near future, and we look forward to sharing it with you in greater detail!

Is your business or organization planning and looking ahead?

Derek McLane, production designer for the 88th Academy Awards, poses for a photo Wednesday with sketches of the stage of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The Academy Awards will be held Sunday at the Dolby Theatre.

Academy Awards stage will be dressed up in golden 1970s glam LOS ANGELES – The Oscars are going disco – or at least embracing the gilded glamor of the 1970s.

A fringe of gold and silver sequins dangle over the final stretch of the red carpet, and the stage for Sunday’s show was inspired by the glittery, glam styles of the disco era.

Production designer Derek McLane said the ’70s were on his mind when he was creating the look for the Oscar stage, which will be framed by 20,000 pounds of golden Swarovski crystals.

“I was really influenced by ... 1970s glam in this year’s design, so the radiating crystals in the proscenium are definitely part of that,” said McLane, who won an Emmy Award for his design of the 2014 Oscar set. “That was one of my favorite periods of American filmmaking. So many exciting movies were made then. And that sense of high glamor from that period really feels like a certain type of Hollywood that is sexy and glamorous and meets the fantasy of people who dream about what Hollywood is.”

The gold lame look also goes with the Oscars’ theme this year, “We all dream in gold.”

McLane said he’s still waiting for a few more stage elements to be delivered and will be tweaking things until Saturday night’s dress rehearsal.

The 88th Academy Awards (and McLane’s fourth as production designer) will be broadcast Sunday on ABC.

MEXICO CITY – Movie buffs in Mexico are abuzz with the possibility native son Alejandro G. Inarritu could snag this year’s directing Oscar for “The Revenant,” which would be an unprecedented third in a row by Mexicans.

If that’s not enough for Mexicans to cheer about during Sunday’s Academy Awards show, Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki is a good bet to win his third cinematography Oscar in a row. That would be a first for an individual of any nationality.

Together with directors Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron, they’re part of a new Mexican generation that is responsible for many of Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed and commercially successful films these days.

“They are at the head of a generation that demarcated a before and an after in Mexican cinema,” said Jose Antonio Valdes, deputy director for information and special projects at Mexico’s governmental film institute, the Cineteca Nacional.

“They come from a generation that has a different mentality, where the idea of the global filmmaker was already a reality, and I think we are seeing that now,” Valdes said. “Mexican

con tu pareja” (“Alone With Your Partner”), with cinematography by Lubezki, which was honored with two Ariel awards – the Mexican equivalent of the Oscars. Del Toro’s “La invencion de Cronos” (“Cronos”) in 1993 won nine Ariels. Lubezki won Ariels for 1992’s “Como agua para chocolate” (“Like Water for Chocolate”), “Miroslava” (1993) and “Ambar” (1994). Inarritu’s debut came later – the widely hailed “Amores Perros” of 2000, when he still labeled U.S. distributions of films with his full name, Gonzalez Inarritu.

The lag was partly because movies didn’t figure in his early career plans.

From age 17, he traveled the world working on a cargo ship, and returned to Mexico only in the mid-1980s to begin studying communications at the Universidad Iberoamericana.

While still a student, both he and classmate Martin Hernandez, who later became Inarritu’s principal sound engineer, became DJs at a Mexico City rock station. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Hernandez recalled he had the morning show and Inarritu the afternoon, and the owners let them stay late to play with the studio equipment.

“We took advantage of that, we made ourselves the masters of the station,” Hernandez said.

Bucking the trend

A slightly off-the-wall idea for staghorn ferns

T

By HOLLEY SIMMONS • The Washington Post

he latest indoor plant trend should have deer everywhere prancing with joy: Tropical staghorn ferns have antler-like fronds that – when affixed to a vertical surface – mimic a taxidermied buck.

“A lot of people who live in apartments want to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor,” said Tom Hammond, a garden designer and woodworker who sells mounted staghorns at Ginkgo Gardens in Washington.

The plant is an epiphyte, meaning it grows symbiotically on a host tree. Staghorn ferns (and other epiphytes like them, including orchids and bromeliads) don’t need soil to survive, but rather gather nutrients from the air and rainwater, which carry healthy organic matter from the plant’s surroundings to its roots.

Because they most often grow vertically, using a tree as support, staghorn ferns are well suited for mounting. Distinct, relatively easy to care for and easy to make yourself, staghorn ferns affixed to a wooden surface are a 20-minutes-or-less DIY project that costs less than $30.

Hammond recommends feeding your fern seasonally with diluted houseplant fertilizer. These ferns can survive on mounted boards for years if properly cared

for. There’s a chance the plant outgrows its mounting piece, in which case you just repeat the process on a larger board.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A potted staghorn fern.

• Sheet moss, found at garden and craft stores.

• A flat wooden surface you can hang. I used a wooden crate from the farmers market, but you also could use a cutting board or a plank of wood from the hardware store.

• A push-in hanger, available at hardware stores.

• Invisible nylon picture-hanging cord, available at hardware stores.

• Eight to 10 screws.

• A screwdriver.

• A pencil.

do-based business that designs, builds and operates farms.

Clay and Roz Johnson moved to a farm-centered community called Serenbe near Atlanta when their second child arrived and they wanted more space.

About 70 percent of the 1,000-plus-acre property is green space, and their home abuts the barn.

“I’m looking at it out my back window,” Clay Johnson said in a phone interview. “I’m watching some freerange chickens.”

Most of Serenbe’s landscape consists of edible, medicinal or native plants, spokeswoman Monica Olsen said. “We have blueberry bushes at all of the crosswalks, three on-site restaurants and a seasonal farmer’s market.

We just had our 10-year anniversary from when our first residents moved in.”

Johnson said moving to Serenbe made financial sense for his family.

“We sold our three-bedroom (house) in Atlanta for more than we bought our five-bedroom here. We both work from home, and have room available if needed for our aging parents.”

And living close to the farm gives them a more personal relationship with their food, he said. “Our kids recognize

The farm is operated like a business, so you can’t just hop the fence and pull some vegetables. That’s stealing. But my son has asked for and been given a handful of cherry tomatoes for the walk home,” Johnson said.

“When we had our second child, I didn’t cook for several weeks because neighbors kept bringing over food,” he said. “It’s not just a farm, but it creates a sense of community just like a church does. We all meet at the farmer’s market on Saturdays.”

Gated communities with houses clustered around golf courses, swimming pools, party rooms and fitness centers are common in many suburban areas. But homes built adjacent to functioning farms?

Welcome to “agrihoods” – pastoral ventures with healthier foods as their focus.

This farm-to-table residential model has been sprouting up everywhere from Atlanta to Shanghai. It involves homes built within strolling distance of small working farms, where produce matures under the hungry gaze of residents, where people can venture out and pick greens for their salads.

“Real estate developers are looking for the next big thing to set them apart,” said Ed McMahon, senior resident fellow with the Urban Land Institute in Washington. “That gives them a competitive advantage.”

There are many variations of the agrihood, McMahon said.

“Some developers rent acreage to farmers,” he said. “Some set up nonprofit C.S.A. [community-supported agriculture] programs. Some have the

residents doing it (the growing) themselves.”

Agrihoods frequently include farmer’s markets, inns and restaurants sited in communal hubs where the edibles are processed or sold.

A lot of things are driving the trend, McMahon said. “There’s more interest in fresh foods. There’s interest in good health. There’s interest in local everything. It’s also about enjoying the many conveniences that help you meet your neighbors.”

Many purchasers are second-home buyers, retirees or parents of young children, McMahon said.

“They tend to be what I call the ‘barbell generation,’ ” he said. “The millennial generation that wants fresh everything, that wants to know where their food is coming from. Also the senior generation, the baby boomers.

They don’t want big yards to take care of anymore.”

Prices tend to be a lot cheaper for agriculture-centered dwellings than for homes facing golf courses.

Along with their higher operating costs, many golf course developments face concerns about water shortages, said Matthew “Quint” Redmond, owner of Agriburbia LLB, a Boulder, Colora-

Yoga powerfully relieves stress Dear Dr. K: A friend is urging me to try yoga because I’m stressed out. I am suspicious of all these “touchy-feely” practices. Does yoga have scientifically proven benefits?

Dear Reader: Yes, many studies have found that yoga can improve strength, flexibility and balance. It also is effective in relieving stress and anxiety. It has minimal side effects, although there are a few precautions I should mention.

Like any form of regular exercise, it should be begun gradually in older people.

People with disease of the bones in their neck, and people with glaucoma, need to avoid certain yoga exercises. If you have those problems, talk to a yoga instructor before you begin.

Several years ago a reader asked me about yoga, and I mentioned my first experience with its stress reduction benefits. The story is worth retelling.

The first person I ever knew who regularly practiced yoga was an intense and ambitious young doctor. Any conversation with him was short and difficult; he completed your sentences for you and interrupted you at will.

He was very smart and had a lot of valuable things to say, but that didn’t mean you looked forward to talking with him.

Then something odd happened. I had a conversation with him in which he didn’t interrupt me. A few weeks later, I had another.

What was going on? I learned from his wife that she’d suggested, strongly, that he try yoga – and he loved it.

In addition to physical postures and exercises, traditional yoga incorporates breath control, deep relaxation, meditation, concentration and mindfulness. These mindbody practices counteract stress by evoking the relaxation response. The relaxation response can be practiced without doing yoga – although the physical benefits (strength, flexibility and balance) are not as great.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Nevertheless, you are primarily asking about techniques to relieve stress.

The relaxation response is essentially the opposite of the stress response. It lowers heart rate and blood pressure and decreases the production of stress hormones. Practicing yoga leads to changes in the mind and body that promote feelings of tranquility and well-being.

My friend Dr. Herbert Benson, a famous meditation researcher here at Harvard Medical School, described the following exercises to elicit the relaxation response. Give them a try to see if they help you to feel more relaxed: • Select a word, mantra, prayer or thought.

Focus your attention on it in a relaxed manner.

• When other, everyday thoughts intrude, let them go. Refocus your attention on step one in a relaxed and patient manner without frustration or judgment.

Start by doing this for five minutes. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend on the exercises.

I’d urge you to try yoga, rather than just the relaxation response, because of its greater physical benefits. To learn more about the physical and mental benefits of yoga, you can read a short e-book called “Your Brain on Yoga” by Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Sat Bir Khalsa, with Jodie Gould. You can learn more about this book at my website, AskDoctorK.com.

DEAR ABBY grew up in a poor family on a farm Jeanne in the South.

Phillips I worked very hard during my childhood. Throughout my childhood, I was told I was a “bad girl” who always did the wrong things or who would never stop talking. When I was 16, I moved more than 1,000 miles away. My mother happily drove me to the airport to go and live with my 21-year-old boyfriend.

I am 29 now, and still live more than 1,000 miles away. To this day when I try to discuss (with my mother) why she sent me away so young, she tells me I was “too difficult of a child” and that was what I wanted, so she signed me over at the end of 10th grade before summer break. I will never forget how happy she was to drop me off at the airport. I wasn’t the greatest child, I know. I know I was bad. Can 16-yearolds choose where and with whom they live? Or should the parents make those decisions? Please help me. – Lost and Lonely Dear Lost and Lonely: It’s a shame that when babies emerge they don’t bring with them a set of detailed instructions. You appear to be the daughter of a woman who didn’t know how to be a good mother. Children who receive positive reinforcement for good behavior are usually better behaved than those who have it drilled into them from a young age that they are “bad.”

When that happens, a child begins to believe what the parent is saying and act on it.

While some 16-year-olds are mature enough to decide where and with whom they want to live, it is usually with a relative or qualified guardian and not a boyfriend. However, from reading your letter, I can’t escape the feeling that what’s really bothering you is the idea that, by giving in to your wishes, your mother rejected you. To work that through, you may need the help of a licensed therapist.

Dear Abby: I am a girl in my junior year of high school. My boyfriend of three years is very good to me, affectionate, attentive and very good-looking. I don’t think he cheats on me, but he does have serious flatulence. He thinks it’s hilarious and does it in public just to embarrass me to death. He also does it at the end of lovemaking, which I think is gross and he thinks is the funniest thing in the world.

Abby, he’s the only serious boyfriend I have ever had. Are all guys this gross and inappropriate? It’s putting a serious damper on how I feel about him. Please help me to save our relationship. – Tired of Natural Gas in Florida Dear Tired: Your boyfriend’s problem isn’t his “flatulence” – it’s his immaturity. Young children think flatulence is fall down funny, but they usually outgrow the kind of humor you describe by the time they reach his age.

Tell him what he’s doing isn’t funny to you, that it is making you think less of him and will be a deal-breaker if he doesn’t stop. If you do, it may save the relationship – unless you want to continue being the girlfriend of the class clown.

(Or should I say “NO-class clown”?)

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Use your imagination and don’t be afraid to do things differently. Don’t worry about what others think, do or say. Contemplate your desired results and do not give in to outside pressure. Be true to your dreams.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your relentless courage will help you accomplish what you set out to do, but it will also lead to controversial backlash. Be prepared to deal with opposition.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your benevolence will be rewarded. Finding solutions and doing your part to improve the environment, your neighborhood or a cause you believe in will bring you

greater acclaim. Self-improvement is favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be creative with how you go about getting things done, but don’t cause discord with someone you love; get his or her OK before you proceed. Emotions will mount if you are insensitive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will be popular with most of your peers, but someone will be jealous of your accomplishments and will challenge you. Stand tall and do your best in order to excel.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Get involved in activities that include romance or the youngsters in your life. The experience you have will spark an idea that will improve your surroundings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Do your best to ease

financial stress. Cut corners or look for a second income. A few alterations to your lifestyle will be helpful, as will discipline and common sense.

to keep the peace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t take on too much or suggest that you can do the impossible. Being honest and helpful will be a winning combination. Balance and moderation will lead to victory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A reunion or reconnection with someone you haven’t seen for a long time will lead to unexpected suggestions that will help you move forward with a stagnant situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Re-evaluate your current position and consider what you would like to do next. Put together a proposal or to-do list that will encourage you to start something new.

Jill McCorkle, an author of short stories and novels, said, “You want to feel that your reader does identify with the characters so that there’s a real entry into the story -- that some quality speaks to the individual.”

When you read a novel, or watch a movie, do you pick the character with whom you can most closely relate? If so, it probably helps you to get into the story.

At the bridge table, you will often need to have a way to get into one hand or the other. You must carefully watch your entries. In today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest diamond, and East puts up the 10?

South’s two-no-trump rebid was game-invitational with something worthwhile in diamonds, the unbid suit. North’s raise was borderline, but he hoped partner could make use of the club suit.

South starts with six top tricks: two spades, three diamonds (given trick one) and one club. His best chance for three more winners lies with the hearts, but declarer will presumably have to lose the lead twice.

So he will need hand entries.

If South starts with a low heart and the defender with the ace takes the trick, there will be no problems.

But if the queen wins the trick, declarer will be one hand entry short.

Instead, he should start with the heart king and swallow dummy’s queen. Suppose West takes the trick and shifts to the club 10 (best defense). South should take the second club, play a diamond to his hand, and continue hearts. Here, the deal has a happy ending.

ganis, it’s his first time coming back for Saturday as a competitor.

“It was great. The 200, sadly the only event I made it back in, but I’m just super happy,” Langanis said. “As a freshman, sophomore, I’d come to the state meet, watch all these kids swim. I’d hope I could make it to the finals but never really saw myself making it. So actually making it’s a really big deal for me, and I’m pretty happy about it.”

Langanis swam the 200 freestyle in 1:42.78, fourth-best in his heat and 11th best overall.

“I took it out hard,” Langanis said.

“The main thing was all my splits were slower, but my third 50 was like a full second faster, which really helped me out because that’s where I usually struggle. That was the difference.”

Langanis also swam the 500-yard freestyle but finished 19th with a 4:40.97, fractions slower than his sectional time.

He said he “just didn’t have the endurance” for the 500.

After qualifying first in the 50 freestyle, Braun finished third in the 100 freestyle with a 45.32.

Our defense did a nice job of keeping us in the game. We need to look past this and get ready for the postseason next week.”

Friday was senior night for the Rockets, but it was the Cogs’ senior tandem of Tommy Lucca and Brady Huffman who stole the show. The duo combined for 28 points, led by Huffman, who scored 10 in the fourth, to help G-K pull away.

The Rockets were led by Blaine Bayer with 19 points, including eight in the fourth quarter, and Miller, who finished with eight points.

“When our shots fall, we are as good as anyone because of how we defend,” Bayer said. “We played hard and were able to stay in the game, we just didn’t hit enough shots.”

Continued from page 2 “I’m pretty happy with the results, but I think I can still go faster tomorrow,” Braun said.

The three-time state qualifier said he feels more prepared than in the past to peak at the right moment. If he wins, Braun would be the first boys swimming state champion in McHenry history. He already is assured the first top-six finish in program history.

“Last year, I did well in prelims but then didn’t go faster in finals,” said Braun, who finished eighth and 11th in consolation finals last year. “I just wasn’t ready for Saturday, and now I am. Now I think I can definitely go faster tomorrow.”

C-G co-op and McHenry each swam in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays but came up short of first final appearances on both occasions.

The Trojans’ 200 freestyle relay team of Langanis, Scott Eibel, Ethan Hare and Corey Sheehan came close to becoming the first in program history to make the second day. They swam a 1:27.34, good for 15th, 0.48 seconds behind the 12thplace finisher. McHenry’s team of Trey Schopen, Riley Hedberg, Jackson Smith and Braun finished 23rd in the 200 relay, anchored by a 19.56 split from Braun, the fastest of the day.

“I should be going that time in an individual,” Braun said later, adding that he tends to get more pumped up for relays.

C-G co-op finished 25th in the 400 freestyle relay, and McHenry finished 28th,

Richmond-Burton seniors who played their final home game Friday RICHMOND – Friday’s boys basketball game for Richmond-Burton was basically the Rockets’ season in a nutq AND ANOTHER THING ... shell: play well on defense to keep the R-B starts postseason play Wednesday against game close, but struggle to get the ball a familiar opponent.

R-B won the first ets coach Brandon Creason said. “We matchup by three points, and Johnsburg won play great on defense and dive for loose last week by a point. balls but get some great looks and open layups and can’t get the ball to go in.”

The Rockets did play well on defense, but cold shooting in the fourth quarter

allowed Genoa-Kingston to pull away, and the Cogs defeated R-B, 46-41, in the Big Northern Conference East Division regular-season finale for both teams at Richmond-Burton High School.

After an evenly played first quarter, the Cogs started to hit shots and took advantage of 11 R-B first-half turnovers and increased the lead to seven points.

The Rockets climbed back and, thanks to a Jake Kaufman half-court shot at the buzzer, R-B trailed by only two at halftime.

“We knew we had to hold on to the ball better in the second half, and we did with just three turnovers,” Creason said. “When you hold a team like this to 46 points, you should have a good chance to win, but in the end not enough shots fell and that is what cost us.”

R-B senior Jared Miller was able to give the Rockets a four-point lead in the third quarter with five points and two steals, but the momentum didn’t last

4 TENNIS: BRAZIL OPEN

Dogs take center stage

By MAURICIO SAVARESE The Associated Press

SAO PAULO – Four trained shelter dogs that once roamed the streets of Sao Paulo found themselves center stage at the Brazil Open tournament.

In an exhibition with players Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain and Gastao Elias of Portugal, the canines, Frida, Costela, Mel and Isabelle, engaged onlookers Thursday night by picking up balls that went out of bounds. Not long ago, the same dogs had run abandoned in Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest city.

The shelter dogs, wearing orange ribbons and trained for months, spent almost a half-hour tracking down balls often intentionally missed by the 122ndand 140th-ranked players. Baena and Elias played for real Friday in the ATP tournament’s quarterfinals.

At the command of their trainer Andrea Beckert, the dogs retrieved the balls with their teeth and ran off the court to their trainer. The unusual initiative was made to promote the adoption of abandoned street animals.

Beckert said the biggest difficulty was to make the animals more confident and playful. “These are dogs that

We have to make them adapt, feel the environment, the court, the noise of the balls and the noise of the people. Some are doing well, others are still a little scared,” she told journalists. The basic commands that the dogs learned were “pick the ball,” “let it go,” “stay” and “come.”

The organizer of the ball-dog initiative, Marli Scaramella, said all four still live in shelters. “The idea is to show people that a well-fed and well-treated animal can be very happy. We have more than 1,000 dogs in our care,” she said.

Senior sets school indoor pole vault record, takes aim at outdoor mark ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino cord for a long time, and I’m still staring at her outdoor record,” she said.

Moy’s outdoor mark of 11-7 has stood since 2009, giving Kaht motivation for the outdoor season.

Despite spending her days teaching at Westosha Central High School in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin, Kaht wasn’t ready to end her athletic career.

“When I learned of this (teaching assignment) last year, I knew I wasn’t ready to be done competing,” she said. “I wasn’t ready to be done vaulting. I knew I wanted my last season.”

Her cooperating teacher at Westosha Central, Tyson Mengel, was a former track and field athlete and was understanding of Kaht’s desire to keep competing.

Kaht said she did 30 hours of field experience at the school last year and was familiar with Mengel, which made her transition to a student teaching role relatively easy, despite her busy schedule.

“Carthage heavily encourages us to not have any sports, clubs or activities while we’re student teaching, and I can see why. It is difficult to have both.”

Slugging start: Cary-Grove grad Wyatt Mascarella hit two homers and drove in four runs for Illinois-Chicago’s baseball team in the Flames’ season-opening series last weekend in Texas.

Mascarella batted .333 for the Flames (3-1) and scored nine runs, which ranks second on the team.

After an 8-5 loss in the 2016 opener at Texas Southern, UIC outscored TSU, 58-16, over the next three games.

Mascarella, who started all four games at catcher, homered and drove in three runs Sunday in a 16-3 victory.

Local Cougars shine: Three local athletes played key roles in D-I Chicago State’s season-opening 7-1 baseball victory Feb. 19 at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Crystal Lake Central grad Andy Gertonson, the team’s starting third baseman, was 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs in the victory. Gertonson’s bat supported the pitching of Huntley grads Jake Perkins and Josh Perkins.

For as long as she can remember, Elizabeth Kaht has been enthusiastic about chronicling history.

“I’ve always loved telling stories, and history is just that,” said Kaht, a Richmond-Burton graduate who is student teaching this fall as a senior at Carthage College.

“Being a history teacher, it means that I get to tell stories every day.”

This month, Kaht wrote her own track and field story for Elizabeth Kaht NCAA Division III Carthage.

The senior pole vaulter cleared 11 feet, 6¼ inches at Illinois Wesleyan’s Keck Select meet to break her school’s 5-year-old indoor record by one-half inch.

“I’ve been frustrated because I felt like I’ve plateaued at 11-1, 11-2, 11-3,” she said. “Having that school record, finally these years at Carthage have meant something. The pressure is kind of off, but I want to make that record a little higher.”

On her record-setting day Feb. 6, Kaht hardly felt as if she would make history.

“I did not have a good warm-up,” she said. “I missed my first jump at the opening height, which I rarely do.

I was kind of rattled.”

Kaht said she cleared the next two heights on her first attempt and knew the bar was headed up to 11-6¼.

“As I was walking back on the runway, about a quarter of the team walked over and started cheering me on,” she said. “I don’t know if they knew it was for the record. I felt a lot of pressure. They all lined the runway.”

Feeling more adrenaline than usual, Kaht said she adjusted her grip up the bar by about two fingers.

“Then I just ran,” she said. “I went for it.”

Kaht cleared the bar and allowed herself a moment of celebration.

“When I knew I cleared the bar, I did a little fist pump on the way down,” she said. “I had that moment.

I was so excited.”

Kaht’s top indoor vault ranks fourth in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin this season.

Her effort bumped Stephanie Moy’s 11-5¾ vault in 2011 from the record book.

Richmond-Burton graduate Elizabeth Kaht recently broke the Carthage College indoor pole vault record. The senior cleared 11 feet, 61/4 inches.

Jake Perkins, a junior left-hander, started and allowed three hits and no earned runs in six innings while earning the victory. He struck out eight. Josh Perkins, a junior righthander, allowed one hit in three innings for the save.

Gertonson leads the Cougars (1-2) in nine offensive categories, including batting average (.571), hits (eight) and RBIs (four). Jake and Josh Perkins share the team ERA lead (0.00).

Cody Freund, a sophomore, started all three games at catcher and collect-

Sophomore Matt Sullivan (Huntley) scored a run while starting two games in left field.

6 NFL SCOUTING COMBINE

Winding road to Indianapolis CLS grad Cooper sees advantages to college path

Combine results

A look at how Ole Miss offensive tackle Fahn Cooper, a Crystal Lake South graduate, fared Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis: 40-YARD DASH 5.17 seconds

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com INDIANAPOLIS – On April 30, during Rounds 4 through 7 of the NFL Draft, Fahn Cooper will be celebrating his 23rd birthday, and potentially his future job in the NFL. Turning 23 will be a lot more exciting than 22 for Cooper, a Crystal Lake South graduate.

“Last year, it was extremely bittersweet for me,” the offensive lineman said from the NFL Scouting Combine.

“I considered leaving early, but I was playing too heavy and I didn’t really have that good a season.

“To watch the draft on my birthday, April 30, 2015, I’m at home watching guys get drafted, some guys that I played against. I thought that was going to be the only year it was ever in Chicago, so it really motivated me to want to get after it, so next year, I’m going to be there and get my name up there.”

Cooper said he isn’t surprised he’s at the Combine, but he knows the Crystal Lake South-to-Bowling Green-to-College of DuPage-to-Ole Miss path isn’t exactly the conventional route to Lucas Oil Stadium in late February, performing drills and interviewing in front of 32 NFL teams.

“My dad said, ‘I know you’ll be great.

This is what you’ve been doing. Being an athlete, competing, doing drills, changing directions, that’s the stuff that got your foot in the door in the first place,’ ” Cooper said.

Cooper measured in at 6-foot-4 and 303 pounds with 343/4-inch arms. His arm length is key, considering 6-4 is on the smaller side for his position. Cooper may project as a right tackle, but his experience at left tackle with the athleticism necessary on the blind side should only help him, mentally and physically, for the NFL speed. “[The NFL]’s the fastest there is. I pulled up some film with some of my guys, Big Ten game, SEC games, our game against Auburn, and then I put up film of an Eagles game and I was like, ‘Look at how fast this is. Look at how fast guys are playing,’ ” he said. “Being athletic helps you out because you’ve got to get off the ball. You have to be fast with your hands and your feet and your mind, too.”

offensive linemen jockeying for draft position and tries to make the best impression in interviews, he knows he can use his time at three schools as a positive.

“Junior college and all those experiences helped me learn and be more mature. They were invaluable for me to grow as a person and a football player,” he said.

A friend of Cooper’s texted him recently to tell the hopeful NFL player, “You’ve already made it to me.”

“That motivates a lot of guys to see me, knowing where I came from – being in junior college, eating Ramen noodles, having bags in the trunk of my car because we didn’t have a locker room,” Cooper said. “[They say], ‘Man, now he’s about to be in the Combine?’ It can be motivation for lots of other guys that may be discouraged. Hey, man, if you push through, you could make something of yourself.”

12 HAWKS 103, BULLS 88

Rose rests again; Bulls fall to Hawks

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com ATLANTA – Bulls guard Derrick Rose is no stranger to defiantly doubling down on less than popular comments to come out of his mouth.

Before Friday’s 103-88 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, he went all in.

Missing his second consecutive game with right hamstring tendinitis, Rose again reiterated that all decisions concerning his health, as well as whether he feels good enough to play, are his, and his alone, referring to it as “a process.”

“I already put into my mind that it’s a long year,” Rose said. “All I can do is work on my body, control what I can control, and all the other stuff is out of my hands.

“Like I said in the beginning of the year that it was a process and can’t lose sight of it.”

He was then asked if that mindset would change come the playoffs when it’s win or go home time.

“Nah. If I can’t play I’m not going to play,” Rose said. “It’s a process, like I said.”

AP photo

Hawks forward Mike Scott (right) takes the ball off the head of Bulls forward Cristiano Felicio during the first half Friday in Atlanta.

A “process” that seems hard to swallow considering Rose is the

highest-paid player on the roster.

A “process” that seems difficult to embrace when Taj Gibson was playing with torn ligaments in his ankle most of last season and Joakim Noah was playing with a left knee that was bone-on-bone.

But this all gets filed in the same category as Rose’s “meetings and graduation” comments from last season, where the point guard again comes across as a player that is more concerned with what benefits him and his next payday over anything else. Definitely over the idea of sacrificing whatever it takes to win a championship.

Coach Fred Hoiberg was asked about Rose’s latest comments, and did his best to say the right things.

“Look, I trust Derrick,” Hoiberg said. “I had a 1-on-1 talk with him before he came into my office before the last game, before we played Washington, and he talked about the pain that he had. He talked about, you know, not being able to play his game, being cautious out there, and that’s when I think when you’re not going full speed and you’re thinking, is when

major, serious injuries happen.

“I know he wants to play. I know he wants to be out there. His teammates want him out there. But at this time with his leg feeling the way it is, we all feel it’s best that he doesn’t play.”

As far as whether Hoiberg would tolerate that mentality come playoff time from Rose, especially considering how a heart condition ended Hoiberg’s playing career before he was ready to walk away from the game, the coach said, “I guess we’ll cross that bridge when, and if, it happens. But we’re confident that we can get Derrick through this stretch and we’ll have him healthy for the playoffs.”

If they can get into the playoffs that is.

The loss dropped the Bulls to 30-27 and into that last playoff spot, ending a three-game winning streak, as Doug McDermott led them in scoring with 20 points.

“Right from the beginning [the Hawks] outmuscled us,” Hoiberg said. “I don’t get it. We had three good games, we made a lot of progress, and we took a step back [Friday].”

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

Curry on a roll, and fans everywhere love it

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

A 40-foot buzzer-beater in Miami one night. A 45-footer to beat the clock in Orlando the next night. In both cases, the thousands of fans who came to watch the NBA’s brightest star do something special expressed their satisfaction with long, lusty cheers.

And remember, those were road crowds.

It is Stephen Curry’s game right now, and whether the Golden State Warriors are home or away it seems no one needs a reminder to enjoy what the league’s premier sharpshooter is doing on a nightly basis. The most entertaining player on the NBA’s most entertaining team has fans coming early and staying late to catch a glimpse, take a selfie, get an autograph, whatever they can muster in order to feel part of the show.

“I was fortunate to play with Michael Jordan and just about every night I was awestruck,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Thursday in Orlando, after Curry’s shot from midcourt was the highlight of a 51-point night. “I would say that Steph

AP photo

Warriors guard Stephen Curry celebrates after making a 3-pointer from near the halfcourt line at the end of the third quarter Thursday against the Magic in Orlando, Fla. is on that level now. You see it night after night. It’s awesome, but it becomes routine because he does it so often.”

Curry was the NBA MVP last season after averaging 23.8 points on 49 percent shooting, with a league-record 286 3-pointers.

He’s somehow better now.

He’s averaging 30.4 points on 51 percent shooting. He’s extended his streak of games with at least one 3 to 128 and counting, an NBA record. Reaching 400

3-pointers isn’t totally out of the question; he should eclipse the record he set last year sometime next week.

The Warriors are 52-5, still on pace for the best record in NBA history and could clinch a playoff spot when they visit Oklahoma City on Saturday – with more than six weeks left in the season.

“What the guy has been able to do is different than we’ve seen,” Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. “It’s rare to see a guy who dominates a game that far out on the perimeter. Jordan dominated the game from 15 feet and in, Kobe (Bryant) as well. Shaquille (O’Neal) dominated from about 7 and in. You’ve see a lot of guys dominate in different ways. We haven’t seen a guy dominate the way he’s dominated from about 38, 40 and in.

“If you’re a basketball fan, you’re a Steph Curry fan,” Wade added.

“There’s no reason to dislike anything about Steph Curry.”

Even opponents can’t help but marvel at his long-range antics.

“Ridiculous,” Orlando’s Aaron Gordon said. “He’s been doing that all year long.”

Curry’s pregame shooting and dribbling shows have become the stuff of legend. There were more than 150 people around the court just before 6 p.m. Wednesday – most of them with phones in hand, poised to snap photos or take some video – when Curry took the floor to warm up in Miami. When he left, some fans were waiting for his autograph and a teenage boy held out a ball for Curry to sign.

“Make it out to me,” the boy said, handing Curry a Sharpie pen.

Curry started signing his name, and the boy said again, “make it out to ...” before stopping. Curry looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

“I’m sorry,” the boy said. “I forgot my name for a second.”

The nervous youngster got his autograph, as have plenty of others.

For his part, Curry enjoys the circus that follows the Warriors around.

“We have a lot of support,” he said.

“Every arena we set foot in, it’s a pretty electric atmosphere. That’s what you live for, really. To have that every single night, to get going in that kind of competitive environment with fan support, it’s pretty fun.”

Infantino voted FIFA president in upset of Salman of Bahrain

The Bears will place the franchise tag on receiver Alshon Jeffery, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday on Twitter. The one-year tender is projected to be worth about $14.5 million, depending on the 2016 salary cap.

Bears general manager Ryan Pace said Wednesday the Bears were “aggressively” negotiating with Jeffery and the franchise tag is an option.

The deadline to use the tag is Tuesday.

The two sides would have until July 15 to reach a long-term deal. Otherwise Jeffery would play the 2016 campaign on the tag.

The move would come as no surprise, as the Bears certainly want to keep Jeffery in their control but might be hesitant to commit to anything long-term after Jeffery’s multiple injuries in 2015. He missed seven games last season but averaged 99.6 receiving yards a contest (excluding the game in Minnesota when Jeffery left with an injury). Jeffery just turned 26, and Pace and John Fox said they believe the rash of injures were more of a one-year situation than something that will plague him throughout his career.

Scott Miller, NASCAR’S senior vice president of competition, said a laser inspection revealed the rear toe, which affects alignment, on Kyle Busch’s car did not meet specifications. Miller said Busch and his crew chief, Adam Stevens, do not face additional penalties.

Miller said the violation was found in the new laser test.

Miller said Kyle Busch’s car passed the same inspection before qualifying. Miller said more tolerance in the test is allowed after qualifying.

14 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Sale’s spring debut on hold until March 19

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Chris Sale isn’t scheduled to pitch in a Cactus League game until March 19, a plan mapped out by pitching coach Don Cooper and the White Sox ace to keep him fresh during the regular season.

An off-field foot injury suffered early in spring training in 2015 limited Sale to pitching in spring games against minor leaguers. His first regular-season start was April 12 against the Minnesota Twins, the Sox’s sixth game of the regular season, in which he gave up one run with eight strikeouts over six innings.

“The bottom line is he’ll be ready for the start of the season, and he’s going to be ready to go at least seven innings and probably a 110 pitches,” Cooper said Friday.

Sale will likely make three Cactus League starts, starting with the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 19, before the regular-season opener April 4 at Oakland.

“He was throwing against A-ballers all spring because he hurt his foot, and then he comes out and he’s full bore for us and certainly did great,” Cooper said.

The White Sox’s Chris Sale will wait until March 19 to pitch in a Cactus League game.

“We’re slowing him down a little bit, that comes to mind, but also mixing in plenty of opportunities for hands-on focused work.”

Sale will throw his second live batting practice session Saturday. Between now and his first Cactus League start, he

will throw to hitters working on specifics under Cooper’s watch.

Sale set a club record with 274 strikeouts over a career-high 31 starts and finished fourth in American League Cy Young Award voting. He said he was strong enough after the season to make six more starts. If that was the case, missing a few early Cactus League games won’t hurt.

“I don’t think it’s that big of a deal,” manager Robin Ventura said.

“We need to get his innings and pitches up, I can tell you that,” Cooper said.

“We’re going to do it in a lower leveraged, stressed kind of environment. Simulated games, stuff like that where we’re working on stuff – his arm side stuff, working on the opposite side, back door breaking ball and specific things on days as we go.

“We seem to do that every spring but now it’s more by design. Why? Because we know him, we know how he goes and we’ll make the adjustment there.”

Notes: The Sox again will avoid using their starting pitchers against AL Central teams and the Oakland A’s, who they play four games to open the season, in Cactus League games.

“Why in the world would we want

any of our starters to face Oakland and Cleveland?” Cooper said. “We are seeing them the first six or seven games. That’s not going to happen. That will give opportunity to others to be seen and show what they can do.”

• Right-hander Erik Johnson, on working with a personal coach during the offseason for work on his mechanics: “Whether the information is outside or inside or with the White Sox, which is huge, I’m a student of the game. I’m trying to be the best Erik Johnson I can be for this organization.”

Johnson’s chances of making the starting rotation likely hinge on free agent Mat Latos, whose job it is to lose.

“It’s really noise to me,” Johnson said. “You go through your routine, you do what you’ve got to do, and you control what you can control.’’

• Robin Ventura on the reported 30-second clock for mound visits in 2016: “I’ll be all right.” What about Cooper?

“That one we’re going to work on. I know when he blew his hammy out, there was a question.”

• Intrasquad games are scheduled Monday and Tuesday.

• The Cactus League opener is Thursday against the Dodgers.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Cubs add Victorino to suddenly crowded outfield

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Another day, another outfielder for the Cubs.

One day after bringing back center fielder Dexter Fowler on a one-year deal, the Cubs on Friday added four-time Gold Glove outfielder Shane Victorino on a minor-league deal.

Victorino, 35, earns $1 million if he makes the big-league club (plus another possible Shane Victorino $1 million in bonuses).

The addition further addresses an offseason priority of shoring up a porous outfield alignment, with Victorino likely to get used regularly as a late-inning defensive replacement.

He said he’s healthy again after being limited by injuries in recent seasons after spending last year splitting time between the Red Sox and Angels and batting .230 with a .308 on-base percentage in 71 games.

“I’m just grateful for the opportunity

to come in and be a part of something, hopefully, that’s special,” said Victorino, who might be best known at Wrigley Field for the beer that was thrown on him as he was catching a fly ball during an August game in 2009. “I’ve been blessed in my career to be part of a couple special championships in special cities. I always tell myself, being a fan of the game, when there’s a 100-plus-year drought for a championship, you always want to be the first to be a part of it.

“At the end of the day it’s not about playing time, it’s not about where things are. It’s about winning.”

The “Flyin’ Hawaiian” was the starting center fielder for the Phillies’ 2008 World Series champion. He was the right fielder for the Boston Red Sox’s 2013 champion.

Manager Joe Maddon has been working on how all his suddenly increased outfield options will translate into playing patterns for a group expected to consist of a top four of Jason Heyward (mostly right), Fowler (mostly center), Jorge Soler (sharing left) and Kyle Schwarber (sharing left). Victorino and infield-outfield backup Javy Baez are

the early favorites to be part of a sixman mix.

“We’ll play spring training out and give guys opportunities in a bunch of different spots and see what we’ve got,” Maddon said. “We kind of worked it on a piece of paper, primarily talking about Soler, Schwarber, Dexter and Jason and the number of at-bats they could possibly generate and number of games played with this crowded outfield.”

Victorino hit during the offseason with new teammates Kris Bryant and Fowler near his home in Las Vegas.

Nobody had to teach him about his new home.

“I know what it’s like,” he said. “The memory that sticks out to me is the beer being poured on my head back in the day (in 2009) at Wrigley as a visiting player. I understand the passion of Cubs fans and what it is.”

Fowler, O’s still at odds: The dispute over what really happened between Fowler, the Orioles and that reported three-year deal continued into Friday.

Fowler said Orioles outfielder Adam Jones – who told Baltimore reporters Wednesday that Fowler had an agree-

ment and “should be on his way here now” – texted Fowler to apologize.

“He said, ‘My bad. I jumped the gun,” ’ said Fowler, who insisted again he never told Jones – and certainly not the Orioles front office – he had agreed to anything.

He also refuted Orioles general manager Dan Duquette’s account of why Fowler rejected the O’s.

“We made a very competitive offer,” Duquette told media in Florida Thursday. “There was not an agreement to terms because they kept insisting on an opt-out (clause).

“The Orioles have made it clear that that type of deal wouldn’t work for us.

Based on that it sounds to me like he wanted to return to Chicago.”

Said Fowler on Friday morning: “No, it wasn’t a sticking point. That’s why it’s weird. It’s a little murky. But that wasn’t the sticking point at all.”

Fowler said he chose the Cubs’ $13 million deal over the O’s latest threeyear, $33 million offer because “this is where my heart is” and for the chance to finish some unfinished business with the Cubs.

16 BLACKHAWKS

Ladd excited to be back with Hawks

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com The last time Andrew Ladd was on the ice as a member of the Blackhawks, he was unsuccessfully trying to chase down Patrick Kane as Kane celebrated his Stanley Cup-winning overtime goal in Game 6 against Philadelphia in 2010.

It was a moment of sheer joy, delirious excitement – much like that whole postseason run. But the celebration didn’t last long. Three weeks later, Ladd was an Atlanta Thrasher.

“It was an exciting Andrew Ladd time for all of us,” Ladd said. “The city was electric, and we just had such a close-knit group of guys that it was an exciting time for everyone.

Then the reality kind of hit – OK, not everyone’s going to be sticking around.”

Ladd, reacquired by the Hawks on Thursday, was just part of the Hawks’ offseason purge that summer. And it’s a sign of just how remarkable that 2010 team was that so many went on to become stars in their own right. Dustin Byfuglien became an All-Star defenseman.

Kris Versteeg became a top-line winger for multiple teams, and won another championship during his second stint in Chicago. Brian Campbell and Troy Brouwer left a year later and became even more productive.

The Hawks’ depth players became other teams’ centerpieces. And perhaps nobody’s evolution was as impressive as Ladd’s, as he did it all for the Jets – a captain, a top-liner, a penalty-killer, a power-play specialist.

“Everybody that was on that team has gone on and done well for themselves,” Duncan Keith said. “It was a great team in 2010, and I think that we all have that bond and that friendship still. So it’s a great feeling when you add another guy like that.”

Ladd is still the same physical, straight-line player he was in 2010. But he’s more skilled now, more confident, more experienced, and certainly more of an ideal fit to play alongside Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa than any other left wing on the Hawks’ roster.

“I think my game has really evolved since that point,” Ladd said. “I’ve been put in a lot of different positions and definitely played more of an offensive role in different spots. It was a tough moment (to leave Chicago). You obviously don’t want to leave, but I think it was good for my career. I’m excited to come back and

Hawks busy before trade deadline

LOS ANGELES – Defenseman Rob Scuderi returned to the Los Angeles Kings on Friday in a trade with the Blackhawks for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff.

The two franchises that combined to win the past four Stanley Cup titles made the swap to create more opportunities for two well-liked veterans who didn’t fit into their previous team’s plans.

Both defensemen spent time in the AHL this month after clearing waivers.

Also on Friday, the Hawks traded forward Phillip Danault and the second-round pick in the 2018 draft to the Montreal Canadiens for forwards Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise.

Fleischmann, 31, has 20 points in 57 games with Montreal, his sixth team.

Weise, 27, has 26 points in 56 games with Montreal, ranking second on the Canadiens with 108 hits.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Hawks are making a flurry of roster moves before the trade deadline to try to solidify their chances for another title run. On Thursday, they acquired one of the top forwards on the trade market, Andrew Ladd, and sent prospect Marko Dano and two draft picks to Winnipeg. The Hawks also got forward Matt Fraser and defenseman Jay Harrison.

really show what my game’s all about now.”

Ladd has maintained close friendships with many of his old teammates, seven of whom still are on the roster.

He knows his linemates, his coach, the Hawks’ system and the city. He also knows what a tremendous opportunity he has to chase another championship after years of wallowing in mediocrity in Winnipeg.

Ladd would love to be more than a rental, to stay beyond the next few months. It’s unlikely, however, given he reportedly had asked Winnipeg for a sixyear deal worth more than $6 million a season. But just like in 2010, he’ll worry about that later. For now, Ladd and his old (and new) teammates are just happy to get the band back together.

“He’s done a great job for his team in Winnipeg,” Toews said. “You can see under those circumstances what type of player he is. He brings it every year and every night. We’re looking forward to having him back here.”
