Good morning, McHenry County ...

Yes, I’m a Denver Broncos fan

Ever since 1986, I’ve been a Denver Broncos fan.

My dad – an avid Bears fan – tells people he did a poor job raising me because I’m not a Bears fan.

That statement isn’t entirely true. I don’t hate the Bears. I follow them closely. Let’s just say they are my No. 2 team. My No. 1 team is the Broncos.

Quarterback John Elway is the reason I became a Broncos fan in 1986, and my loyalty hasn’t changed since.

I’ve been through the agony of three Super Bowl losses in four years in the 1980s by a combined score of 136-40. But I’ve also lived through glorious back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the late 1990s – Super Bowl XXXII over Green Bay (sorry, Packers fans) and Super Bowl XXXIII over the Atlanta Falcons.

Elway played a role – as starting QB – in all five of those Super Bowls. He’s also played a

SOCIAL MEDIA SCREENING

Study: 43 percent of companies use online profiles to filter job applicants

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College Director of Recruitment and Staffing Sandra Hess Moll has more than one reason to make sure her staff is not looking at social media on the job.

Although social media presents ample opportunities to learn more about a job candidate, and a recent study shows that some 43 percent of companies surveyed use social media as a screening tool, some of McHenry County’s largest employers say scanning a candidate’s social media profiles has little, if any, place in their process.

One of Hess Moll’s main concerns is that the person doing the hiring would learn things such as the candidate’s race, age and religion, which cannot legally be used to exclude them from being considered for a job. She said while the college uses LinkedIn to post jobs, she doesn’t want social media to extend any further into the hiring process.

“I think the legal risks are greater,” Hess Moll said. “I think we have an application process. When candidates submit their material to consider, we are being most responsible and fair to the candidates when we review that material rather than going outside and reviewing things the candidate is not aware of.”

However, a growing number of companies are not letting the potential pitfalls of social media stop them from harnessing it to find the right candidate.

A study released this year from the Society for Human Resource Management showed 84 percent of organizations surveyed said they used social media or online search engines to screen job candidates. Meanwhile, 43 percent said they used the same tools to screen job applications, and more than a third said they have disqualified a candidate because of concerning information – illegal activity, discrepancy with an application – found on a social media profile or online.

A n d w h i l e h e r o w n e m p l o yer doesn’t use Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram to filter through potential hires, MCC’s coordinator of career services Evette

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Nicole Leconte, coordinator of recruitment and staffing at McHenry County College, is seen Monday through a window in the Human Resource Office at the Crystal Lake campus.

Thompson keeps those statistics in mind when giving job seekers advice.

“Keep it professional because some employers do look at their social media,” Thompson said. “Be mindful of what’s out there. Google yourself. They want to have a positive, businesslike image.”

Candidates won’t be Googled by the hiring staff at Cary-based Sage Products. Shelley Knebl, the manager of talent acquisition, said her company uses LinkedIn to post jobs, but otherwise social media screening seems like an unnecessary step in an

already involved process.

“We feel pretty confident we are doing a lot on the interview side,” Knebl said. “It’s dependent on the level of the position and the function area, but candidates can go through five or six interviews.”

Bonnie Ungaro, a recruiter for Centegra Health System, said social media is part of engaging potential employees. The health care company has Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages specifically used to push recently posted jobs.

If a candidate gets to the interview process, he or she goes through a

meeting with human resources, leadership in the select department and people who work on the team, Ungaro explained. There’s also a background check, license verification and reference calls.

So those status updates, vacation photos or filtered pictures just don’t fit into the process.

“From a research standpoint, having that kind of collaboration early on you get to know someone pretty well,” Ungaro said. “I think with how strong our interview process is and interview techniques are, we are very thorough.”

Ex-Prairie Grove cop indicted on official misconduct charge Former police officer resigned before village could fire him

WOODSTOCK – The former Prairie Grove police officer accused of crashing his patrol SUV into a pole while drunk on duty has been charged with official misconduct, a felony that would bar him from becoming a police officer again if he is convicted.

Oscar Baez, 52, of the 900 block of Medinah Street, Bensenville, was driving a 2011 Ford Expedition patrol vehicle west on Gracy Road about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 29 when he crossed Route 31 and struck a utility pole, according to the report filed by the McHenry County Sheriff’s sergeant who responded to the crash.

Michael Combs, chief of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office criminal division, said the decision was made to file the felony charge against Baez after reviewing the actions Baez took while acting in his capacity as a public official.

“He’s not the first officer we have ever

charged with official misconduct,” Combs said. “It’s unfortunate, but if you violate the law while in a uniform, we’re going to charge you.”

Official misconduct is a Class 3 felony.

If convicted, Baez would be prevented from carrying a firearm, which would end his career as a police officer.

At the time of the crash, Baez told the sergeant he was going 20 mph and had tried to stop, but his brakes failed, the report shows. However, the sheriff’s sergeant reported there were no skid marks to indicate braking and the damage to the utility pole, which was snapped at the base, indicated that Baez was driving faster than he admitted.

Baez was issued a notice to appear in McHenry County court for DUI and was issued a notice that his driver’s license would be suspended. He also was issued a citation for disregarding a stop sign.

A warrant for Baez’s arrest on the official misconduct was issued after a Jan. 21

grand jury indictment that was unsealed this week.

James McCoy, who is representing Baez in both cases, said his client posted $10,000 bond Wednesday at the Bensenville Police Department. He offered no other comment on the charges facing his client.

Village President Stan Duda previously told the Northwest Herald that Baez had been employed as a part-time officer since April 2011. The village planned to fire Baez immediately after the incident Duda said, but Baez resigned first.

The village, about two weeks later, approved spending about $32,000 for a 2016 Ford Interceptor to replace the vehicle Baez crashed.

Baez is next due in court Wednesday for an arraignment on the official misconduct charges in front of McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer.

He is next due in court Feb. 18 in front of McHenry County Judge Mark Gerhardt on the DUI charge, a Class A misdemeanor.

66th House District candidates make their pitches to voters

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Four Republican candidates took the stage Thursday night at McHenry County College to explain why voters should elect them to succeed Mike Tryon in the 66th Illinois House District.

Carolyn Schofield, Paul Serwatka, Allen Skillicorn and Dan Wilbrandt made their cases at the fifth and final McHenry County League of Women Voters forum before the March 15 primary election.

All four already hold elected office.

Schofield, of Crystal Lake, is a former City Council member and present member of the McHenry County Board. Serwatka, a Lakewood village trustee, won an impressive upset victory last year as a write-in candidate.

Skillicorn is an East Dundee trustee and vice chairman of the Kane County Republican Party. Wilbrandt, a McHenry County assistant state’s attorney, is a West Dundee trustee.

Schofield, Skillicorn and Wilbrandt told audience members that their elected experience, and their records of fighting to hold the line on their respective tax levies, make them the most qualified.

“I will be the most effective, and bring all the passion I have to Springfield and get stuff done,” Schofield said.

But Serwatka positioned himself as a newly elected citizen legislator, and painted the other three as more of the same kind of candidates who have made Illinois “…the dismal failure that it is.” Serwatka played a role in Lakewood’s recent decision to freeze its tax levy.

“It’s insanity to think that more professional politicians and lawyers are what we need to fix Illinois,” Serwatka said.

All four candidates stood behind the “Turnaround Agenda” of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner as necessary to make Illinois more job- and business-friendly, and halt the ongoing exodus of taxpayers and jobs to other states.

But Illinois has been without a state budget for more than seven months because of the impasse between Rauner, who was elected on the reform platform, and Democratic leaders who allege the agenda will hurt working families. The Democratic Party holds three-fifths supermajorities in both the House and Senate.

Skillicorn expressed disbelief that the state is paralyzed over what he called “modest” reforms to address the state’s dire problems.

“We need to save Illinois – we’re in trouble. I’ve got the record to do that.

I’m a doer, not a talker,” Skillicorn said.

Wilbrandt said he wants to be part

of the process to fix the state and help Rauner.

“It’s critical that we pass meaningful reforms to get the state back on the right path,” Wilbrandt said.

“If we don’t make changes, we’re compounding the problems down the road.”

The 66th District includes parts of southeastern McHenry and northern Kane counties, including parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Algonquin and Carpentersville. Tryon, who was first elected in 2004, is not seeking a seventh two-year term.

Thursday’s forum was supposed to include the two Republican candidates for the 63rd Illinois House District, as well, but candidate Jeffery Lichte could not attend. Candidate Steven Reick, who did attend, was allowed to read a 2-minute statement, and one was read on Lichte’s behalf.

Reick, who unsuccessfully ran against Democratic incumbent Jack Franks in the last election, said he plans to run a “very vigorous” campaign with concrete support from the state and county parties.

“This is going to be an entirely different race than it was in 2014,” Reick said.

Reick has alleged that Lichte’s campaign is fishy – to date, Lichte has no campaign committee or contributions on file with the Illinois State Board of Elections.

WOODSTOCK

City approves liquor license for sandwich shop

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Lucky Bernie’s sandwich shop, set to open in May, received approval from the city for a Class A-6 liquor license.

The license, meant for a restaurant or caterer, will allow for the retail sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption or use on the premises, the retail sale of beer and wine by package and allow the restaurant to serve alcoholic liquors as part of food service with prepared meals on or off the premises, according to city documents.

Owners have said they expect 60 percent to 70 percent of their revenues will come from food sales. More than 40 percent of a restaurant’s gross revenue on an annual basis must come from the sale of food to qualify for the license.

The restaurant will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. seven days a week at 11605 Catalpa Lane, near the Route 47 and Route 14 intersection.

They plan on serving sandwiches with Boar’s Head meat, wine and beer and hosting activities such as painting parties and acoustic music nights, part-owner Jeremy Oliphant said.

Oliphant said the business plans on applying for a video gaming license to supplement its expenses. Lucky Bernie’s will have takeout, catering and dine-in options in its 1,900-square-foot space, he said.

The city approved lifting the moratorium on the license at its Jan. 19 meeting.

Woodstock City Council unanimously approved the license at its meeting Tuesday. Council member Dan Hart recused himself from the vote because, under state law, anyone who holds a liquor license is not able to participate.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – An investigation spanning several weeks led to Lake County authorities discovering hundreds of child pornography videos, an array of drugs and a loaded gun inside a Fox Lake couple’s apartment, police said Thursday.

Police on Wednesday executed a search warrant at a residence in the 0-100 block of Riverview Avenue belonging to Joshua S. Hoffman, 24, and Mariah M. Carlos, 19, Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli said.

By Denise Freese Since 2009, Home State has been a Major Event Sponsor of Woodstock’s Groundhog Days, which was established in 1995 to celebrate the movie “Groundhog Day” filmed in Woodstock, IL. The Awakening of the Groundhog occurred at 6:00 pm on January 28th.

“Woodstock Willie made his grand entrance outside the Opera House balcony to kick off the events that continued until February 2nd,” said Donna Besler, Banking Center Manager with Home State Bank. “On February 2nd, at 7:07 am during the “Official Prognostication”, Woodstock Willie emerged from his tree trunk and whispered to the Committee whether he’d seen his shadow or not.”

Events take place in the Woodstock Square and surrounding locations. “Each year, Home State staff members, along with the Woodstock business community, Woodstock residents, and visitors from around the county and even around the world participate,” added Besler.

The Committee takes 7 months to plan the events. “It really is a lot of fun,” Besler

said. “Home State enjoys building relationships and working together with our community.” For a complete schedule of events, visit www.woodstockgroundhog.org.

Home State is also a long-time Presenting Sponsor for the Northwest Herald’s Everyday Heroes Awards Banquet. This year the breakfast event will be March 3 at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake, beginning at 7:30 am. Tickets are $25/person.

Each year, the Everyday Heroes Banquet honors everyday people doing amazing things in their communities. The Northwest Herald receives nominations and decides on the final honorees. This year, first responders are celebrated and highlighted at this special event.

“Home State Bank feels privileged to be the Presenting Sponsor of the Everyday Heroes event recognizing our county’s first responders,” said Steve Slack, President of Home State Bank. “We hold in very high regard the services they provide and sacrifices they make on a daily basis to make our county a desirable place to live and feel safe. Our business chooses to support causes that showcase individual and local organizations that work tirelessly towards the betterment of our community.” For more information, please contact:

The conversation was brought to the attention of district officials, who contacted Huntley police, the advisory from chief security officer Adam Dean said. The student was removed from school without incident, and no weapon was brought to school, the advisory read.

Dean said Thursday’s incident appeared to be isolated, but officials will continue to monitor it and work with police.

District 158 officials and Huntley police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

By Carmen R. Heflin While on vacation, it is imperative for individuals to be aware of their surroundings and keep themselves safe while also having fun. One item of concern should be how to safely carry your cash and credit cards. The following are some tips to follow.

As the old saying goes, never keep your eggs in one basket it applies to your money as well. Divide your cash and credit cards in multiple safe spots.

This way if a thief grabs your wallet or bag you still have access to other cash or credit cards. Today there are many different products available that allow one to carry their money under clothing. These items include underwear with built in storage pockets.

Another tip is to carry smaller denominations. You should ensure you

pack you bag with small bills and coins to purchase items such as food, souvenirs and attraction entry fees. Use your under clothing storage to carry larger denominations and extra credit cards.

Travelers should also consider investing in anti-theft bags and purses to use when traveling. These bags have features such as cut proof, steel cable reinforced shoulder straps, slash proof fabric and locking zippers.

If traveling abroad, be sure your debit and credit card will be accepted in the country you plan to visit. Also before leaving be sure to call your bank to tell them when and where you will be traveling so they will not block your card. It is also advised that travelers carry multiple cards with them in case of emergency.

At Crystal Lake Travel, the agents have the education, training and experience to ask you, the right questions to make sure you have an unforgettable vacation. For more information or to book your next vacation please visit www.cltravelagency.com or call 815-459-2500. adno=0301912

WOODSTOCK – There are a number of administrative staffing changes in the works for Woodstock School District 200.

With two retirements, one resignation and one promotion already decided, Superintendent Mike Moan said the hiring process is underway for four principal positions.

“This is atypical, but it’s just one of those timing things,” Moan said.

Associate Superintendent for Human Resources Mark Heckmon will be retiring at the end of the school year after almost a decade in his role. The position will be filled by current Woodstock North High School Principal Brian McAdow.

At Northwood Middle School, appointed Principal

Jeremy Schaaf will reapply for the job in a formal hiring process, Moan said.

Schaaf was appointed at the start of the year after former principal Jerome Wakitsch resigned. Wakitsch’s resignation came about a month before he was formally accused of stealing funds from the Parent Teacher Organization.

The principal at Westwood Elementary School, Jason Eggert, also will be leaving after this year for a different opportunity, Moan added, and Creekside Middle School Principal Bob Hackbart will be retiring after more than 30 years with the district.

Moan said the district is in different stages of the hiring process for each of the four positions.

“The goal is to have candidates for board approval by spring break,” he added.

CRYSTAL LAKE

D-47 announces registration schedule for kindergarten NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Kindergarten registration for Crystal Lake School District 47 has been scheduled for the 2016-17 school year.

Parents will learn about the district’s full-day, half-day and dual/English-language learner kindergarten programs during registration, which will be from Feb. 23 to 25 at the CORE Center, 300 Commerce Drive in Crystal Lake, according to a news release from the district.

Three time slots will be available on registration days: 9 to 11 a.m., 1 to 3 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Parents should try to attend the registration day for their child’s school, if possible. The schedule per school is as follows: • Woods Creek Elementary, South Elementary and Glacier Ridge Elementary – Feb. 23.

• Indian Prairie Elementary, West Elementary and Canterbury Elementary – Feb. 24.

• North Elementary, Coventry Elementary and Husmann Elementary – Feb. 25.

Representatives from the schools will

be there for parents to meet, and there will be opportunities to ask any financial or curriculum-related questions, learn about the extended care program and have students’ photos taken, the release said.

This year, parents will be able to download and complete a registration packet on the district’s website, www. d47.org, before registration. In addition to proof of residency and their child’s certified birth certificate, parents should come with the forms completed and printed out, district officials said.

Payment will not be required at that time.

Before registration, several informational kindergarten meetings will be held, and a general informational meeting about the full- and half-day programs will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday. A dual language program meeting will be from 9 to 10 a.m. Feb. 12. All meetings will be at the CORE Center.

CRYSTAL LAKE

D-47 considering technology plan

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board was presented with a technology proposal that would add about 2,600 devices for middle schoolers and about 800 for elementary students.

District 47 is the latest in McHenry County to ponder a program aimed at putting a device, specifically a Chromebook, in every middle school student’s hand.

“A lot of this is tied to the curriculum we’re trying to deliver to our students,” Assistant Superintendent of Technology Services Dave Jenkins said, adding the English language arts curriculum was launched last year and the math curriculum is set to launch next school year.

The proposal, made by Jenkins at the most recent school board meeting, involves rolling out a one-to-one technology program at the three middle schools next school year at an annual cost of about $485,000.

“Broken down, that’s not just the device,” Jenkins said. “That’s the cost of the device itself, plus the instructional

coaches and support, and some supply costs like cases and applications.”

To offset costs, the administration has proposed a new $50-a-year technology fee, which would require board approval. After paying the fee each of the three years of middle school, students would be able to keep the Chromebooks. As the program kicks off, students in seventh and eighth grade would have a buyout option.

In addition to middle school-designated Chromebooks, the proposal includes putting four Chromebooks in each elementary school classroom.

Currently, the district has about 4,000

Items of the week:

iPads, but Jenkins said the newly proposed technology plan would involve steering the district away from iPads, which he added are typically more expensive.

In terms of personnel, the proposal also would move to add two “iCoaches,” instructional staff members who model lessons with technology and co-teach with teachers. Included on the traditional teacher salary schedule, there are already six iCoaches within District 47. If the proposal is approved as presented, there would be eight iCoaches among the 12 buildings – one in each middle school and five among elementary schools.

Seven mobile technicians also were proposed to assist the iCoaches with repairs and other such issues that might arise, according to the presentation.

Jenkins said while the district would incur about $100,000 of new costs if the proposal is approved, much of the cost would involve reallocating funds in the budget already in place for such expenditures.

“The lower-cost device is one piece and long term we will be shifting away from print, and we’re shifting away from a lot of our copying costs,” he said.

Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire appears at an induction ceremony July 7, 2003, at the Hollywood Rock Walk in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. White, the founder and leader of Earth, Wind & Fire, died Wednesday at home in Los Angeles, said his brother, Verdine White. He was 74.

Chicago area in the late 1960s and had some modest success in the Midwest.

After relocating to Los Angeles and ditching all of the band members except Verdine, he renamed the outfit Earth, Wind & Fire after the three elements in his astrological chart.

Bailey’s bright falsetto defined many of Earth, Wind & Fire’s hits.

“We experienced pure magic together,” Bailey said during the band’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, standing next to White.

The band’s early sound was jazzy, but evolved into an exuberant, horn-driven mix of jazz, funk, gospel and Big Band music. Their appeal

wasn’t just on records but on stage, their concerts a whirl of dancing, fog machines, multicolored lights and glittery costumes. Earth, Wind & Fire performed everywhere from the Super Bowl to the White House.

Maurice White also had a substantial side career producing other artists, including Barbra Streisand and Cher. In the 1970s, he co-wrote and co-produced the Emotions’ No. 1 hit “Best of My Love.”

White was born in Memphis in 1941, the son of a doctor and grandson of a New Orleans piano player. He showed musical gifts at an early age, studying at the Chicago Conservan-

cy. During the 1960s, he backed Muddy Waters, the Impressions and others and worked as a session drummer in Chicago.

The band performed in the movie, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and had hits with the ballad “After the Love Has Gone,” “All ‘n’ All,” ‘’Let’s Groove” and “Fall in Love With Me.” The band took a four-year hiatus in the 1980s and then returned, its primary success then on the road.

“We live in a negative society,” White told Newsweek at the height of the band’s success. “Most people can’t see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine.”

Police: BMX rider Mirra dies at age 41 of apparent suicide The ASSOCIATED PRESS

night that Mirra’s body was found earlier in the day with an apparently GREENVILLE, N.C. – Police say self-inflicted gunshot wound. veteran X Games biker Dave Mirra Authorities said they responded to has died in North Carolina. He was an apparent suicide and discovered 41. his body in a truck. They said he had Greenville police said Thursday been visiting friends in the area.

Mayor Allen Thomas called Mirra “a great friend and wonderful human being.”

Mirra was an accomplished BMX rider and one of the most decorated athletes in X Games history, medaling every year from 1995 to 2008

and winning 14 gold medals. His one-time record of 24 career medals was broken in 2013 by Bob Burnquist.

He also hosted MTV’s “Real World/ Road Rules Challenge” and two video games carried his name.

NEW YORK – Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, whose horn-driven band sold more than 90 million albums and made hits like “September,” “Shining Star” and “Boogie Wonderland,” died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his brother Verdine said.

White, who was 74, suffered from Parkinson’s Disease and had retreated from the public even as the band he founded kept performing.

“My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep,” Verdine White, also a member of the band, told The Associated Press on Thursday. “While the world has lost another great musician and legend, our family asks that our privacy is respected as we start what will be a very difficult and life changing transition in our lives. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes.”

Earth, Wind & Fire, a nine-piece band centered featuring the two White brothers, singer Philip Bailey and the distinctive horn section, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band’s most successful period started with the 1975 album “That’s The Way of The World” and continued through the rest of the decade. Other hits included “Serpentine Fire,” “That’s the Way of the World” and a cover of the Beatles’ “Got to Get You Into My Life.”

White publicly revealed he had Parkinson’s at the time of the band’s Hall of Fame induction, but he had shown symptoms of the neurological disease back in the 1980s. He stopped touring with the band in 1995 because of weariness from the road combined with his health problems.

White said in an interview with The Associated Press in 2000 that he wanted the band’s music to inspire instead of just entertain.

“That was the whole objective, to try to inspire young people to believe in themselves and to follow through on their ideas,” he said. “We’ve touched so many people with these songs.”

A former session drummer, White founded the band Salty Peppers in the

Police: 6 found dead in Chicago home The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Chicago police on Thursday found the bodies of four men, one woman and a child inside a home on the city’s South Side in what police said was being investigated as an apparent multiple homicide.

Interim Chicago Police Superintendent John Escalante said it appeared to be an isolated incident and there was no wider threat to the community, but police added extra patrols in the neighborhood as a precaution. Asked whether it could have been a murder-suicide, he said it was “a possibility.”

Standing in the street in the Gage Park neighborhood, Escalante told reporters that police checked the house Thursday afternoon after receiving a call from a co-worker worried about someone who lived there. The person had missed two days of work, which

News from across the state Businesses now must post human-trafficking hotline

CHICAGO – A new law is requiring many Illinois businesses to post information about a human trafficking hotline in an attempt to curb what officials call “modern-day slavery.”

The Illinois Department of Human Services said it is working with the state labor department and the attorney general’s office to raise awareness of the problem.

Under the law that took effect Jan. 1, businesses ranging from bars to truck stops to job recruitment centers must post the number for the National Human-Trafficking Resource Center hotline near a public entrance or other location where employees will see it. Businesses that don’t comply could be fined.

IDHS Secretary-designate James Dimas said human trafficking exploits people for forced labor or sex – or both. He said the law is aimed at helping victims get to safety.

Rauner wants public-private deal to add lanes to I-55 CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner

was “highly unusual and very suspicious,” Escalante said.

Police arrived at the single-family brick home just after 1 p.m. They looked inside and saw one body, entered and found five more bodies. The bodies had signs of trauma, but authorities have not determined the cause of death.

Authorities were still working to identify the dead. Escalante said it’s probable they were all family members, and police were trying to locate relatives. The child is thought to be 10 to 12 years old.

A relative of the family who lived in the home said Thursday evening that the family seemed happy. She said living in the home were a couple, their son, their daughter and the daughter’s two children.

“They were a normal family. Everything was fine,” Noemi Martinez, 29, said from Dallas during a phone inter-

view in Spanish. She said her husband was a nephew and cousin of the home’s residents.

Martinez said the father worked at a factory in Chicago and the mother was a housewife. They were originally from the Mexican state of Guanajuato and had lived in Chicago for about a decade, Martinez said.

“Right now, we just want to know who did this. They didn’t deserve this.

We don’t understand what happened,” she said.

Escalante said the investigation would take time but emphasized there was no imminent threat.

“At this time, we don’t believe that there is any threat to the surrounding community or any known threat right now to the immediate neighborhood,” he said.

In the neighborhood, three teenage boys said they were worried about a

classmate at Rachel Carson Elementary School who lived in the home. They feared he was among the dead.

“His favorite sport was soccer,” Aaron Villazana said of his friend, and Emmanuel Hernandez chimed: “He’d get out of school and play soccer. ... He liked sharing.”

“I just saw him three days ago. He was walking by. He told me, ‘How are your basketball games going?’ ” said Jesus Anderade.

Earlier, Rosa De La Torre’s 13-yearold son comforted her as she sat down and sobbed near the home of her friend, whom she thought could be among the victims.

Another neighbor, Lettie Magas, 68, lamented what she said has been an increase in crime in recent years.

“I feel safe as long as it’s daylight out, but I won’t come out at night, no way,” Magas said.

said Thursday that he wants lawmakers to approve a plan that would allow the Illinois Department of Transportation to use a public-private partnership to add lanes to a busy stretch of Interstate 55 in the Chicago area.

The Republican governor’s plan includes the possibility of tolls that he says could cover the estimated $425 million cost of the project. But it also would require approval by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly at a time when lawmakers are sharply divided over the state-budget stalemate.

The project would add at least one lane to Interstate 55 in each direction between Interstate 355 and Interstate 90/94. The state plans to finish federal environmental studies later this year.

Details about the potential private partnerships were not immediately available.

According to the Rauner administration, the 25-mile stretch of freeway handles 170,000 vehicles a day and regularly experiences traffic slowdowns.

The panel will be led by House Democratic Leader Barbara Flynn Currie. Panel members will get input from educators statewide. The first meeting will be Feb. 16 at the Capitol in Springfield.

Tribune Publishing gets $44.4M from investor

CHICAGO – Tribune Publishing, the troubled owner of the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers around the country, said it received a $44.4 million cash infusion from a Chicago investor who has a stake in its rival newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times.

The company also suspended its quarterly dividend Thursday to free up more money in the aftermath of a difficult year.

Revenue has slumped as readers and advertisers continue to migrate online and the company has trimmed staff to cut costs. Its stock has plummeted 68 percent in the last year.

Tribune said Thursday that it plans to use the cash for digital initiatives and for possible acquisitions. The company has

Mayor says 780 new Tasers on way for Chicago police

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the upcoming delivery of almost 800 new stun guns will ensure that every police officer will have access to a Taser, following a series of high-profile fatal shootings in the city.

Emanuel’s office said late Wednesday that by June 1, all officers responding to calls will have Tasers that they will be issued at the start of their shifts.

The department will have 1,481 stun guns once the 780 new Tasers arrive.

Officers must go through training and certification.

Emanuel announced the city would increase the number of stun guns available for police on Dec. 30, after public outrage erupted anew over a video showing a white police officer shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.

Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders shake hands as they greet the audience Thursday before a Democratic presidential primary debate in Durham, N.H.

Fireworks fly in debate Clinton, Sanders square off face to face in New Hampshire The ASSOCIATED PRESS DURHAM, N.H. – Fireworks flying in their first one-on-one debate, Hillary Clinton accused Bernie Sanders Thursday night of subjecting her to an “artful smear” while Sanders suggested the former secretary of state was a captive of the political establishment.

The two Democrats kept up a markedly more contentious tone than when they last debated before the presidential voting in Iowa, and it signaled how the race for the nomination has tightened five days ahead of the firstin-the-nation primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

The two argued over ideas, over tactics and over who has the liberal credentials to deliver on an agenda of better access to health care, more affordable college, dealing with income inequality and more.

It was Clinton who was the main aggressor, saying Sanders never could achieve his ambitious and costly proposals. Then she took after the Vermont senator for his efforts to cast her as beholden to Wall Street interests because of the campaign donations and speaking fees she’s accepted from the financial sector.

“It’s time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out,” she said.

Sanders, for his part, suggested her loyalties were colored by a reliance on big corporate donors.

“Secretary Clinton does represent the establishment,” he said. “I represent – I hope – ordinary Americans.”

Clinton may say the right things, he suggested, but “one of the things we should do is not only talk the talk but walk the walk.”

Where Clinton aimed considerable criticism at Sanders, the Vermont senator focused much of his fire on what he says is a political system rigged against ordinary Americans.

He said that when a “kid gets caught with marijuana, that kid has a police record.” But when “a Wall Street executive destroys the economy” and pays a $5 billion settlement, he has “no criminal record.”

“That is what power is about, that is what corruption is about. And that is what has to change in the United States of America,” he said.

Clinton, unwilling to cede the issue to Sanders, insisted her regulatory policies would be tougher on Wall Street than his.

“I’ve got their number,” she said, “the Wall Street guys.”

Clinton called Sanders’ sweeping proposals on health care and education “just not achievable,” while Sanders countered that Clinton was willing to settle for less than Americans deserve.

“I do not accept the belief that the United States of America can’t do that,” Sanders said of his plan for universal health care and of his efforts to take on “the rip-offs of the pharmaceutical industry.”

The race for the Democratic nomination, once seen as a sure thing for Clinton, intensified this week after Sanders held the former secretary of state to a whisper-thin margin of victory in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses.

ANOTHER VIEW

FCC is not doing enough for democracy TV watchers need to brace themselves for the worst this election season.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are likely to be poured into political ads narrated by ominous voices and designed to influence voters’ ballot choices.

Some commercials, paid for by campaigns, will conclude with candidates saying they approve the message. Viewers should be extra skeptical of any ads brought to them by independent political action committees with benign sounding names such as Priorities USA Action, Believe Again, Unintimidated PAC and Right to Rise USA. Such names reveal nothing about who the true sponsors of the advertisements really are. The Federal Communications Commission, which seems to turn a blind eye, should require more transparency and has the authority to do so: • Section 315 of the Communications Act requires broadcast stations to identify sponsors of political ads in files available for public viewing. Not every station is complying, according to extensive research by civic watchdog groups, such as the Sunlight Foundation, the Campaign Legal Center and Common Cause.

• Section 317 requires advertisers and broadcasters to disclose to viewers and listeners the “true identity” of the person, group or entity paying for a political ad.

Many don’t, and the FCC has failed to enforce this rule.

Last week, 168 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed a letter urging FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to quickly require broadcasters reveal the names of political-ad sponsors on the air.

According to OpenSecrets.org, conservative groups by far dominate this type of campaign advertising.

Democracy is weakened when influence over the public airwaves is controlled by dark-money groups, whether on the right or the left, which have the power to raise and spend unlimited funds.

Citizens have a right to know when and why mega-rich individuals, such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the industrialist Koch brothers, pour their wealth into advocacy.

That’s why the FCC must do more as a regulator to restore trust in American democracy by ensuring campaign commercials are more transparent.

VIEWS

Paul not ‘most interesting man in politics’

By CHARLES LANE

The Washington Post

American presidential politics will not be having a libertarian moment after all.

Sixteen months after Time magazine branded Republican Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky) “The Most Interesting Man in Politics,” Paul has suspended his campaign for the White House – due to lack of interest.

Paul got a mere 4.5 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses, underperforming his dad Ron Paul’s 2012 result by 17 points. At the time he quit, Rand Paul was polling at about 2 percent in New Hampshire, the “Live Free or Die” state that once was thought to be receptive to his message.

What went wrong? The Paul phenomenon always was overblown. The theory was that young voters and minorities could be attracted to the GOP by Paul’s heterodox policy mix –

free-market economics, drugwar relaxation, defense budget shrinkage and international nonintervention.

This was hype, for three reasons: First, much of Paul’s agenda just as easily could be offered by Democrats, and was.

Second, as a messenger, the dour Paul managed to make freedom seem like it would be no fun.

Third, and most fundamentally, the American people, including many if not most GOP primary voters, do not really want small government. Or, to be more precise, their expressed concerns imply demand for greater government action, not less.

In the Pew Research Center’s annual January survey of public concerns, only three issues registered as “top priorities” among at least 50 percent of the public and increased their share of the responses over last year.

Those three issues were “defending the country from

terrorism,” “reducing crime” and “dealing with the issue of immigration.” Forty-nine percent cited “strengthening the military,” up eight points since the start of President Barack Obama’s second term.

Of course, Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to emphasize each of these issues; 87 percent of them cited fighting terrorism as a top priority, while only 32 percent cited Paul’s signature issue, “criminal justice reform.”

What remains of libertarianism? Not nothing, perhaps. Less punitive attitudes toward drug use and even crime seem to have taken root, and Paul can plausibly claim to have helped make them mainstream.

We may never get rid of big government, but we might subject it to structural reforms that incorporate libertarian ideas.

At the very least, it would be interesting.

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.

Plastic shopping bags solution

To the Editor: At grocery stores in Europe, many locations do not even offer their customers a bag.

It is understood you will supply your own. If you are foolish enough to need one, the prices are quite high, up to 50 cents each for one plastic bag. It does not take long to remember to bring your own.

VIEWS Albert Hunt challenge now is to persuade mainstream Republican voters to coalesce behind his candidacy to foil the selfstyled outsiders Cruz and Trump. To do that, he’ll need a strong showing in New Hampshire against Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie – three other mainstream Republicans who are competing vigorously in the Granite State.

New Hampshire comebacks are not unusual. Clinton staged one after Barack Obama beat her in Iowa eight years ago. Ronald Reagan in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1988 scored critical New Hampshire wins after losing Iowa.

Of course, Clinton’s New Hampshire victory in 2008 wasn’t enough to propel her to victory over Obama for the nomination. This time she’s counting on strong organizations and well- financed campaigns in later

Robert hired his wife, Anna Miller, to be his secretary, earning $96,967 a year with benefits.

Tsilimigras for judge

To the Editor: There is going to be a rare event in March 15’s GOP primary – a contested election for judge.

This is rare because the local courts use a two-tiered appointment system where new judges are appointed as associate judge by the other judges and then moved up to full judge when there is a vacancy.

The new full judge then has to run to retain his or her seat in an election, but very few local lawyers have the temerity to challenge a sitting judge, so most such elections are uncontested.

contests to overcome the unexpected early success of Sanders, a senator from Vermont.

New Hampshire’s outcome is hard to predict because about 40 percent of its voters are independents who are allowed to decide on primary day whether to vote in either party’s contest. A candidate who scores big with these voters can spring a surprise.

And surprise already has been the story of this campaign, in which little has played out as expected.

On the Republican side, there are several huge question marks, in addition to the overriding one of Trump’s durability: • Can Rubio, the Florida senator, get a bounce from his strong Iowa finish and, thereby, crowd out the other mainstream contenders? He will be the focus of a lot of fire from rivals over the next few days to prevent this.

If he places first or second in New Hampshire, he would become a top contender for the nomination.

• Can Kasich, Bush or Christie do well Tuesday? Each faces virtual elimination otherwise. And each probably

has to finish ahead of the other two and Rubio for a plausible pathway to the nomination.

• Can Cruz ride his Iowa victory to a respectable showing in New Hampshire, a state he’d been inclined to ignore but now intends to contest?

He’d planned to focus instead on South Carolina, where the third GOP contest takes place Feb. 20 and where conservative voters are more of a force. His campaign manager has predicted the Texan will prevail there, although polls show Trump ahead.

Another factor might be whether Ben Carson, the retired pediatric neurosurgeon who finished a distant fourth in Iowa, stays in the race; he and Cruz compete for evangelical Christian voters.

New Hampshire is likely to winnow out at least three or four candidates. Iowa effectively took out half a dozen, including Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee, winners of the last two Republican caucuses there.

Strong showings in the Iowa caucuses by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio sent them roaring into next week’s Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire with a head of steam at the expense of a deflated Donald Trump.

On the Democratic side, the virtual tie between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders puts intense pressure on Clinton to rebound in New Hampshire and foreshadows a protracted struggle in a race she expected to dominate.

New Hampshire is renowned for its independence and contrarian voting habits and anything can happen there. Trump and Sanders enjoy big polling leads they now need to turn into New Hampshire victories. That will be a test of whether Sanders can retain the enthusiasm of his youthful supporters, and whether Trump fans still consider him a winner after losing the first contest of the 2016 campaign.

Rubio didn’t win Iowa but he was a big a winner there. His third-place finish was closer than polls predicted, and he almost caught Trump. His

Used car dealership returns historic building in McHenry to former use

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A used car dealership recently moved to a larger 10,000-square-foot facility near Routes 120 and 31 in McHenry.

The relocation of Next Auto Sales means the historic, but vacant, building at 1112 N. Front St. will be returned to its former use when Overton Cadillac occupied the building in the late 1940s, Economic Development Director Doug Martin said.

The interior of the building has been painted with Route 66-themed murals by local artist Paul Meyer, who included license plates, gas station logos and a map showing the

route from McHenry to Los Angeles, California, owner Randy Jeschke said.

“The whole goal is to make it a comfortable setting for everyone,” the McHenry resident said, adding he’s had people who bought cars at the location in the 1960s come in just to take look and absorb the feeling.

The renovations bring “a nice atmosphere to Front Street” and adds “a lot of visual stimulation” to the area, Martin said, adding that it’s great to see a business expand and at the same time revitalize a building to its former use.

Jeschke, who said he’s been in the industry for 31 years, first opened his own used car dealership in late 2013 at 3706

W. Elm St., where he used a 12-by-30-foot former photo kiosk as an office, according to a news release.

Jeschke estimated he sold 340 cars at his old location standing up because his office was so small.

The new, larger location allows him to keep double the inventory on hand – about 85 vehicles in stock, with cars and trucks ranging from $2,500 to $30,000, the release stated.

The cars are inspected and come with a 4,500-mile, powertrain warranty, something that Jeschke said makes him different from his competitors.

Some of the cars are classic, including a neo-classic 1995 Zimmer, Jeschke said, adding that he’s more of a truck guy

himself.

Next Auto Sales needs final approval from the McHenry City Council to have an outdoor sales lot, as well as an exemption from the city’s parking and loading zone requirements, Martin said.

The dealership has temporary approval through the end of the month so that it can operate.

The proposal was well received at the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, Martin said.

The council is set to vote on the matter at its Feb. 15 meeting, he said.

The business employs five full-time staff members, the release said. A grand opening is planned for the spring.

Drug exec refuses questions, calls lawmakers ‘imbeciles’

By MARCY GORDON

OIL

CHAMBER NEWS Mary Margaret Maule

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Infuriating members of Congress, a smirking Martin Shkreli took the Fifth at a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday when asked about his jacking up of drug prices, then promptly went on Twitter and insulted his questioners as “imbeciles.”

The brash, 32-year-old entrepreneur who has been vilified as the new face of pharmaceutical-industry greed was summoned by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is investigating soaring prices for critical medicines.

Four times, he intoned: “On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.”

Lawmakers erupted. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee, all but told Shkreli to wipe the smile off his face.

“I call this money blood money ... coming out of the pockets of hardworking Americans,” he said as Shkreli sat through the lecture.

“I know you are smiling,

but I am very serious, sir,” Cummings said. “I truly believe you can become a force of tremendous good. All I ask is that you reflect on it. No, I don’t ask, I beg that you reflect on it. “ The former hedge fund manager with a frat-boy swagger has been reviled in recent months for buying Daraprim, the only approved drug for a rare and sometimes deadly parasitic infection, and unapologetically raising its price more than fiftyfold.

Shkreli is out on $5 million bail after being arrested in New York in December on securities-fraud charges unrelated to the price increase.

Shkreli, wearing a sport jacket and open-collar shirt, was dismissed less than an hour into the hearing, but not before chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, shouted down a request by Shkreli’s attorney to speak. Lawmakers instead took turns denouncing his conduct and attitude.

Minutes after he left – and even before the hearing had ended Shkreli thumbed his nose at the committee.

“Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government,” the for-

mer CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals tweeted.

Shkreli’s attorney Benjamin Brafman later said in his defense: “He meant no disrespect, but in truth, statements made by some of the members of the committee were wrong, unfair and difficult to listen to without responding.”

Shkreli calls himself “the world’s most eligible bachelor” and “the most successful Albanian to ever walk the face of this Earth.” He strums his guitar on YouTube and paid a reported $2 million for the only known copy of an album by the Wu-Tang Clan.

After Shkreli’s departure, Turing’s chief commercial officer and the interim CEO of Canada’s largest drugmaker, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, received a bipartisan lashing from the lawmakers.

Internal documents released by the committee show that Valeant and Turing have made a practice of buying and then dramatically raising prices for low-cost drugs given to patients with life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, AIDS and cancer.

Chaffetz, an admitted “conservative guy” who accepts that companies need to make

profits, said he was disgusted.

And Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., told them: “This is a scandal, an absolute abuse of power, an abuse of the pharmaceutical industry.”

With Shkreli mum, it was up to Turing’s Nancy Retzlaff to defend the Daraprim price rise. She said the company invests in research and development, as well as programs that help patients afford drugs.

Turing tries to strike the right balance between those needs and rewarding shareholders, Retzlaff testified.

As early as last May, Turing planned to turn Daraprim into a $200-million-a-year drug by dramatically increasing its price, according to documents obtained by the committee.

Turing bought the 60-year-old drug in August for $55 million.

Shkreli said in an email to one contact: “We raised the price from $1,700 per bottle to $75,000. Should be a very handsome investment for all of us.”

As for Valeant, documents indicate the company believed it could repeatedly raise the prices of the lifesaving heart drugs Nitropress and Isuprel without repercussions because the medicines are administered by hospitals.

What to watch

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The McHenry and CaryGrove co-op boys swimming teams had seen enough of each other to know what was coming in Thursday night’s Fox Valley Conference dual meet.

The county’s two best teams had raced at the same events multiple times this season, and Thursday McHenry coach Craig Fowles and senior Kevin Braun admitted afterward they knew they couldn’t beat the much-deeper Trojans in a dual.

Even so, the way the Trojans won the regular-season finale was impressive.

C-G co-op won nine of 11 events, setting two pool records in the process, to win the conference dual in dominating fashion, 111-59, at McHenry West. The victory capped an undefeated dual season for the Trojans.

“I think for the most part, McHenry is one of our biggest rivals, especially when it comes to the relays,” C-G coop’s Cooper Langanis said. “They didn’t stack the 400 free relay today, but it was nice to be able to race them in the medley and the 200 free because they’re pretty good, so it’s nice to be able to race against someone who’s just as fast as you.”

The most intense races of the night came in those relays.

In the 200-yard medley relay, Omid Babakhani gave the Trojans a lead in the first leg only for Braun to get it back to nearly even, and Trey Schopen put the Warriors ahead. Corey Sheehan swam a split of 21.9 in the final leg to catch Jackson Smith and win the race by 0.11 seconds with a time of 1:42.34.

In the 200 freestyle relay, Braun led off with a 21.45 split to give the Warriors an early lead. By the third leg, however, the Trojans had closed the gap and again Sheehan brought in a strong anchor leg, this time out-touching Schopen to win by 0.1 seconds with a 1:29.6.

Braun called it “upsetting” to lose the two relays by such small margins.

“Nothing you can do about it. They’re truly good,” Braun said.

The highlight of the meet came in the final race, the 400 freestyle relay.

Corey Sheehan

Cary-Grove co-op (CL South), sr.

The Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City has an eight-year streak of its animals correctly picking the Super Bowl winner. This year, a 1-year-old orangutan named Tuah picked Carolina. He chewed up a cardboard Panthers sign and kissed a papier-mache Panthers helmet, never touching the Broncos sign or helmet. This was Tuah’s first time on the job. His dad picked seven straight winners before dying in 2015, and a lion correctly picked the Patriots last year.

Sheehan swam the anchor leg of the 200-yard medley relay and 200 freestyle relay, helping the Trojans win both by narrow margins. He also was involved in the winning 400 freestyle relay.

C-G co-op coach Rick Schaefer on the chances of the 400 freestyle relay team making state: “The 400 free relay, the teams that I had that have made state have never been this fast at this meet. They’ve still got to drop a few more seconds on that, but I think they certainly feel like they can do it, and sometimes that’s all it takes is for them to feel like they can do it.”

McHenry didn’t use its best team, but C-G’s group of Ethan Hare, Scott Eibel, Sheehan and Langanis swam a 3:17.81 to break a pool record the Warriors set this season.

“We’re way faster than we were at any point throughout the entire season,” Eibel said. “We’ve already gone faster

Of note ... than we did at the end of last season and it’s a great feeling to beat their best at the meet before the biggest meet.”

The two teams will see each other again Feb. 13 at the FVC Championships and then in sectionals.

The Trojans got individual wins from Langanis (200 freestyle), Hare (200 individual medley, 100 fly), Nick Jasinski (500 free, 100 back) and Peter Hankins (100 breast).

Braun captured McHenry’s two wins, taking the 50 and 100 freestyles.

The U.S. men’s hockey team’s stunning victory over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics became known as the “Miracle on Ice.” That team, coached by Herb Brooks, went on to win the gold medal, but 20 years earlier, the U.S. won its first Olympic hockey gold medal after an equally stunning victory over the Soviets.

The coach of that team, Jack Riley (above), died Wednesday. He was 95.

Performance times Friday for local teams in the IHSA cheerleading state meet preliminaries at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington: Medium team division Crystal Lake Central – 10 a.m.

Hampshire – 11:25 a.m.

Prairie Ridge – 12:45 p.m.

Large team division Huntley – 4:10 p.m.

McHenry – 4:20 p.m.

ple trying to bring you down.”

Hampshire will compete in this year’s state meet preliminaries at 11:25 a.m. Friday at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Prairie Ridge, another medium class team, will compete at state for the first time in five years. The Wolves are hoping this trip to state pushes the program back in the right direction. Prairie Ridge finished third in 2011.

“We’re super-excited to make it with such a young team, even after a year of a lot of struggles as a team,” first-year Prairie Ridge coach Madysen Sheen said. “I think going to state they really got a good perspective of how a positive attitude really makes a difference.”

Crystal Lake Central, which advanced to state by winning the DeKalb Sectional, will join Prairie Ridge and Hampshire in the medium division. The Tigers have been to state six straight years, jumping between the large and medium divisions.

Central matched its best finish at state last year when it took fifth in the large division.

Huntley and McHenry round out the local teams that advanced to state, and both will compete in the large division.

Huntley made it to state by winning the DeKalb Sectional.

This is McHenry’s first appearance at state since 2006 and second in school history.

Going into last year’s IHSA cheerleading state meet, Hampshire was not seen as a potential threat for a top-three finish, let alone a state title.

Sure, the Whip-Purs had been to state three years in a row, but they had advanced to the second day only once, and even that was only a seventh-place finish.

Then they went and won the 2015 medium class state title, and now everybody knows about them.

“This year has been different – we didn’t even think it was possible to win as underdogs last year,” Hampshire senior captain Kasey Reigner said.

“Coming back this year as defending state champs, it’s a completely different outlook. Teams know about us – there’s a target on our backs and knowing that everyone is watching you and expects so much more of you. We know what we’re capable of, and hopefully, we can go back and get a two-peat.”

Reigner is one of two seniors (with Shayla Sarros) on the Whip-Purs cheer team that have been with them for all four years they have advanced to state.

Hampshire has 15 of the 20 girls from last year’s team back, and Reigner thinks this is actually a more talented group. Before the state title win, the Whip-Purs didn’t win any competitions during the season, which they also haven’t done this season.

Hampshire coach Rachael Fischer said she believes the IHSA and other coaches do a great job promoting sportsmanship, but her team has noticed the stares or heard the whispers when they compete. It’s part of trying to defend a state championship.

“We just try and go out there and, as I tell the girls, as long as when they step off the mat that they gave everything they can give, that’s all I care about,” Fischer said. “Can’t really focus on what other people say or what other people think, because there will always be peo-

Back in good graces

Panik searches for consistency, avoids doghouse

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville tried to be reasonable about it, but the look on his face said it all. He couldn’t remember a player ever oversleeping and missing the team bus to a practice or morning skate before, and the fact that it happened to Richard Panik, who had been with the team for all of 10 days and hardly had earned the benefit of the doubt, made it all the more maddening.

“It’s something that can’t happen,” Quenneville said through gritted teeth Jan. 22.

Quenneville’s doghouse tends to be sparsely populated, but can be difficult to escape – just ask the guy Panik was traded for, Jeremy Morin. But Panik did the only thing he could do to get back in Quenneville’s good graces: He played well. Surprisingly well, in fact.

Only four games removed from his benching Jan. 21 in Tampa, Panik is earning rave reviews – and some topline minutes – from his coach. In Tuesday’s win at Colorado, he scored a goal by going hard to the net, fired three shots on goal and played well defensively. He entered Thursday’s game at Arizona with three goals in his past six games.

“He’s done a good job for us,” Quenneville said. “There’s some offense to his game. He’s getting more comfortable in the overall game we’re playing. He has some skill, and the consistency is something we’re looking to see.”

Consistency always has been the issue for Panik, who couldn’t even crack Mike Babcock’s lineup in Toronto this season despite scoring 11 goals in 76 games with the Maple Leafs last year.

Even fellow Slovak Marian Hossa, who only knew Panik a little bit from the Olympics in 2014, mentioned “consistency” as the well-known knock on Panik when he was acquired.

Still, with 151 NHL games under his belt with the Lightning and Leafs, Panik knew he could play at the highest level.

He just needed a chance. And, apparently, a change of scenery.

“The season didn’t start like I expected,” Panik said. “Obviously, I wanted to make the team in Toronto, but it didn’t

So I tried to play my hardest in the AHL, and the trade came down, and I was really happy and excited. Now things are working for me.”

When Panik first was acquired, Quenneville suggested he could get a shot at the troublesome top-line leftwing spot alongside Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. But while Panik waited for a visa to come to the United States, Andrew Shaw took that job and ran with it, helping spark the Hawks’ 12-game winning streak.

But as well as Shaw has played on the top line, the Hawks still are looking for a top-line winger to take over so Shaw can provide the depth and defensive play that made him so valuable during last season’s Stanley Cup run. It

might come through another trade. Or it still could end up being Panik, who split time between the first and third lines during the Avalanche game.

It was Panik’s first experience with Quenneville’s well-worn line blender.

“I was supposed to play with [Phil Danault and Andrew Desjardins], and Coach changed it,” Panik said. “My first feeling was, ‘What’s going on?’ I was excited. We got some good chances and I scored, so it was good.”

The trick is to do it night in and night out. And to stay on Quenneville’s good side, of course.

“Yeah, that’s the hardest part – not have just one good game, [but] be consistent,” Panik said. “Do it over and over again. That’s my main focus now.”

BLACKHAWKS 5, COYOTES 4 (OT)

Captain’s 5th OT goal of season ties NHL record

The Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa (from left) smiles as he celebrates his goal against the Arizona Coyotes with teammates Jonathan Toews, Erik Gustafsson, Andrew Shaw and Brent Seabrook during the second period Thursday in Glendale, Ariz. mer teammate Klas Dahlbeck’s ankle.

Hossa appeared to be pushed into goalie Louis Domingue, and had extricated himself from the crease by the time he scored, but the goal was overturned, sending Quenneville into a tirade on the bench. Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored on the ensuing power play, turning a 1-0 Hawks lead into a 1-0 Hawks deficit.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Hossa said. “I thought it was a joke.”

But Hossa channeled his frustration into one of his best games of the season.

He got his 495th career goal back early

in the second period and fed Toews for a short-handed goal 67 seconds later.

“That was the Hoss we know very well, making those single-handed efforts,” Toews said.

Then came the second turning point – Andrew Shaw’s ill-advised charging hit on Zbynek Michalek. Mikkel Boedker tied the score on the power play, and Jordan Martinook made it 3-2 Coyotes nine seconds later. But barely a minute after that, Patrick Kane scored his 31st goal of the season, setting a career high.

The Hawks took the lead in the third

period when Michal Rozsival scored his first goal of the season. Then Coyotes captain Shane Doan tied it back up at 11:30 of the third.

But all that did was set up Toews – Mr. 3-on-3 – to pot the game-winner. The only surprise this time was that it took him 4:31 to do it.

“I would have liked to have seen him in the All-Star game,” a much calmer Quenneville said with a chuckle. “It was a hard-working game for both teams. It was incredibly competitive and fun to be a part of.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Q: ‘We’re all responsible’ for concussion protocol

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – In its video detailing a 20-game suspension for Calgary’s Dennis Wideman for his crosscheck of linesman Don Henderson, the NHL acknowledged Wideman had suffered a concussion on a hit moments earlier. The league’s concussion spotter flagged Wideman to be sent to the so-called “quiet room” as part of the concussion protocol, but Wideman refused to leave the game.

Asked if such a decision should be tak-

en out of the players and coaches’ hands entirely, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville demurred, saying that since the new protocol was bolstered this season with league-employed spotters at each arena, that there are “layers that need to be passed before you can Joel get another shift.”

Quenneville “There’s a spotter, you have your trainers, and we have a doctor everywhere we’re at,” Quenneville said. “And we have coaches, and

we have players. We’re all responsible for the awareness, and take responsibility as much as [we] can.”

The NHL is being sued by more than 100 former players claiming the league was negligent in its handling of concussions, and in educating players about the risks head injuries pose.

Eight is enough: Michal Rozsival returned to the lineup Thursday after missing Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury. Both Rob Scuderi and Viktor Svedberg were scratched.

Quenneville still is unsure how long he’ll carry eight defensemen.

“We’re only looking at it tonight right now,” he said before the game.

On the rise: It’s becoming commonplace for reporters outside of Chicago to ask about goalie Corey Crawford, as his profile continues to rise and he enters the Vezina Trophy discussion with his strong play over the past two months. Asked by an Arizona reporter if this was Crawford’s best season, Quenneville agreed. Sort of.

“I don’t think he’s had any bad seasons since I’ve been here, and I think that he’s only getting better,” Quenneville said.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Joel Quenneville bolted to the front of the bench and leaned over the boards, his arms waving frantically and his mouth spewing a string of incredulous obscenity. The Blackhawks’ coach was so irate over an overturned Marian Hossa goal in the first period he actually earned himself an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which led directly to an Arizona Coyotes goal.

“As soon as they said ‘no goal,’ he went bananas,” Hossa said.

And that was only the beginning.

But a game that had rapid-fire goals, controversial hits, questionable officiating and all manner of unusual events ended in a most familiar way – with a Jonathan Toews overtime winner.

Toews’ fifth overtime goal of the season – matching Steven Stamkos’ NHL record set in 2011-12 – gave the Hawks a rollicking 5-4 victory Thursday night. Toews’ overtime winners have accounted for more than 14 percent of the Hawks’ conference-leading win total.

“We are happy we won this crazy game,” Hossa said with a laugh. “It was pretty fun to watch, I guess, from upstairs.”

There were two pivotal moments in this one. The first was Hossa’s disallowed goal, which he banked in off for-

BULLS

Bulls guard Derrick Rose (left) dives for a loose ball against Kings guard Marco Belinelli on Wednesday in Sacramento, Calif.

has averaged 17.5 points a game, and improved his field goal percentage along the way.

And although his 21 points in the win over the Kings was much needed, the nine assists and six rebounds with Butler (left knee) sidelined were huge.

It not only ended a two-game losing streak, but the hope was it once again helped jump-start some sort of winning spark for this underachieving group.

“We could be playing five people in the park,’’ Rose said. “Any wins, period.

When you win, it takes care of a lot of things. You’re able to sleep more comfortably at night. You’re able to wake up more easy, go through shootaround more easy. You don’t have that anxiety before the game starts because you want to get the win so bad.

“For me, I’m more comfortable.

[Wednesday] was going to be a good peaceful night.’’

Rose and the Bulls definitely needed one of those.

Butler update: Butler was listed as questionable for the Friday game against the Denver Nuggets, but the AllStar will be smart about the soreness in his left knee.

Especially because he already lost a bet with his trainer.

Butler made a friendly wager with his personal trainers that he would play in all 82 regular-season games, and that ended Wednesday night when a kneeon-knee collision from Monday was still acting up.

A source did say Butler felt better Thursday but was receiving heavy treatment on the knee and would test it in the morning shootaround.

“It’s disappointing, but I’ve got to think big picture,” Butler said. “I’ve got to take care of my body. My trainer was here and he was like, ‘Look, you’ve got to do what’s right for your body.’ So I talked to the coaches and we thought it was best that to sit this one out.”

DENVER – There is life from Derrick Rose.

And not just in the box score.

Without question the numbers have been improved over the past month.

The usually up-and-down Bulls point guard has found consistency in that department, finally understanding that “Attack-mode Derrick” is a way better player than “Jump-shot Derrick.”

No, the life that Rose seems most proud of is his maturation as not only a leader, but a vocal leader.

“Yeah, yeah, like even [Wednesday against the Kings] when [E’Twaun Moore] missed a couple shots or when he was penetrating and got called up in the air and didn’t know what to do, just talking to him a little bit more,” Rose said. “Just telling everybody to run down the floor. Taj (Gibson), just encouraging him, because he had a handful down there with ‘Boogie’ (DeMarcus Cousins). Just trying to talk a little bit more cause it’s coming. I wouldn’t say it’s all the way there, but that’s an area I’m trying to improve on.

“It’s starting to come easier. Talking before the games, talking in the huddle. Just giving the guys the keys to the game. Like [against the Kings], I said if we came out and jumped on them, it should be an easy game. We did that. We played from a lead the entire game, and I think that changed the way we played.”

It also might change the way his teammates look at Rose.

The days of that “humble kid from Englewood” played out years ago, about the same time Rose seemed more concerned about his brand rather than coming back from injury despite being cleared by team doctors.

This year’s version of the Bulls, however, has needed something more.

With Joakim Noah’s role diminished, and now all but silent because of a season-ending shoulder injury, as well as players still getting used to Jimmy Butler’s hostile takeover of the leadership helm, Rose speaking up carries weight.

“A lot of people say that,” Rose said.

“For me it’s like, I really don’t know how to put it, but a lot of people want me to speak more, but it’s got to come to me in a natural way.”

OK, so he’s pacing himself, and that’s fine. Where he hasn’t been pacing himself is in attacking the rim.

After Rose averaged 13.3 points a game in November, and then went up to 15.3 in December, since Jan. 1, Rose

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel looks to pass Dec. 20 against the Seahawks in Seattle. Manziel’s ex-girlfriend told police Manziel hit her during an argument last weekend in Texas and said he appeared to be on drugs.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

Manziel’s ex tells cops he struck her

By TOM WITHERS

The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – Johnny Manziel’s ex-girlfriend told police the Cleveland Browns quarterback hit her during an argument last weekend in Texas and said he appeared to be on drugs, according to a police report.

The report released Thursday by Fort Worth police provides the first details of the altercation that took place between Manziel and Colleen Crowley.

Manziel was being investigated for a possible assault on Crowley, but both Fort Worth and Dallas police have not charged him with a crime.

Manziel, however, is facing punishment by the NFL, which is investigating the incident. League spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press that “we are aware of the police report. Our review is continuing.”

It’s the second time since October that Manziel has been under review by the league for a domestic incident.

He was cleared of wrongdoing after police were called when he and Crowley got into a heated roadside argument in Avon, Ohio.

Crowley told police Manziel was “aggressive” toward her after they were out with friends on Friday night at the Zaza Hotel in Dallas. She said he struck her, including once in the left

ear, before they drove back to her Fort Worth apartment. Crowley said Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M, struck her several times on the trip to Fort Worth. According to the police report, Crowley was “somewhat vague on the details of the assault.”

Crowley said she later fled her apartment Saturday and ran to a neighbor’s for help in an attempt to get away from Manziel, who fled the scene on foot.

Manziel told TMZ Sports on Thursday night he didn’t strike Crowley and added he was not a threat to her or himself.

“I’m completely stable,” he told TMZ, which did not provide any video of its interview. “I’m safe and secure.”

Sgt. Steve Enright said Fort Worth police determined “no reported criminal offense occurred” within the city’s jurisdiction.

Dallas police issued a statement Thursday night saying they conducted a follow-up investigation and Manziel’s case is closed.

After Crowley informed police she was concerned for Manziel’s well-being, they used a helicopter to try to locate the 23-year-old. Police also tried calling Manziel and his parents, who could not be reached. An officer finally contacted Manziel’s father, Paul, who said he had seen his son and that “he was doing fine.”

Rivera’s secret? He cares about players BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

As usual, I’m poised to win it all!

day’s NFL. Ron’s a leader of people and puts them in position to be successful, and he listens to the players.

“And so from a leadership standpoint, and also relating to today’s modern athlete, I think he does a nice job of that.”

We talked a few weeks ago, the night before the divisional game against the Seahawks, and I asked Rivera why Mike Shula wasn’t going for one of the available head coaching jobs.

“Because Mike understands when the time is right, a job will be there, and right now he’s focused on us winning a Super Bowl,” Rivera said.

“It’s like when I got fired in Chicago and everybody thought I would be so upset with Lovie. I wasn’t happy, nobody wants to get fired, but I wasn’t upset with anyone, either. I knew when the time was right my time would come, and now it’s worked out great.”

If you’re still not sure how Rivera has been so successful, consider these thoughts from his left tackle, Michael Oher: “Coach Rivera is a great guy,” he said. “I know that back before the season started, it was a couple weeks before the season, I was at home just watching TV, and I got a text message that said they appreciated me being there and they appreciate my hard work every day.

“That text right there, just to get it, I think he probably sent a lot of people.

They appreciated me, they valued me and stuff like that, and it’s praising to me.

“These guys are a great organization. They let you know that you are valued and that you’re appreciated.”

Almost all coaches know football.

Rivera knows people, and that’s why he’ll be in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Ron Rivera’s résumé includes nine years as a linebacker with the Bears from 1984 to ’92, two stints as a Bears assistant coach from 1997 to ’98 and 2004 to ’06, five years as an Eagles assistant from 1999 to ’03, four years from 2007 to ’10 as a Chargers assistant and now the past five seasons as the head coach of the NFC champion Carolina Panthers.

In that four-year gap from 1993 to ’96, Rivera spent the first three years as a broadcaster and one of my Ron Rivera broadcast partners and friends as we worked together on the pre- and postgame shows for Bears games on the radio.

In 1996, he joined Dave Wannstedt’s staff as an unpaid intern to get a feel for what the coaching business might be like.

The rest, as they say, is history.

One thing you absolutely should know about Rivera is that before he was a great coach, he was a great family man and husband first.

He spoke the other day about what it’s meant to have his wife, Stephanie, on his journey with him.

“Stephanie has been a coach collegiately and professionally,” he said.

“She has a little bit of a background.

She understands it.

“One of the things she’s been really good about is she knows when I come home, there are certain things I have to get off my chest. She’ll pull it out of me. We’ll talk about those things. She’s been very supportive.

“I think it’s probably the most important thing that she’s been there.”

With that as a baseline, I’m sure it won’t surprise you that Rivera is very much a players’ coach, too.

“He’s been so transparent for us as players,” quarterback Cam Newton said. “A lot of coaches say, the cliché analogy, I have the open-door policy and do this, that and the third, but for Coach Rivera, it’s kind of been true, true to life.

“He’s always made himself available, not only for the coaches and players, but for anyone family-oriented in the organization.”

Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott has been with Rivera since both were young assistants in Philadelphia.

“To me, the best thing that Ron does basically is he gets out from behind the desk and spends time with his players in the locker room,” McDermott said.

“We know how important that is in to-

NU tops Minnesota; Wisconsin sinks OSU The ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVANSTON – Tre Demps scored 23 points with eight assists, and Bryant McIntosh added 20 points and six rebounds as Northwestern snapped a five-game losing streak with an 8258 win over Minnesota on Thursday night.

Aaron Falzon also scored 10 points for the Wildcats (16-8, 4-7 Big Ten), who won for the first time since Jan. 12.

Jordan Murphy scored 14 points and Nate Mason finished with eight for Minnesota (6-17, 0-11), which lost for the 12th straight time dating to Dec. 16 when the Gophers defeated Chicago State.

The Wildcats never trailed and jumped out to a 13-2 lead. Northwestern relied on 3-point shooting to surge ahead early, connecting on four of their first five attempts from beyond the arc. Demps and McIntosh combined for seven of the Wildcats’ 12 3-point field goals.

Northwestern led 37-23 at the half. The Wildcats used an 8-0 run over the final 3:04 while Minnesota missed its final nine shots.

Wisconsin 79, Ohio St. 68: At Madison, Wisconsin, Nigel Hayes scored 21 points, and Wisconsin hit a season-high 13 3-pointers to beat Ohio State to extend its winning streak to five games.

Wisconsin (14-9, 6-4) took advantage of open looks on the perimeter but almost squandered a 12-point lead midway through the second half.

The Badgers made things difficult for themselves by going 10 of 17 from the foul line. Ohio State (14-10, 6-5) drew within 62-59 with 7:04 left on Jae’Sean Tate’s layup.

Hayes, however, was clutch in the second half, when he scored 18 points.

Wisconsin has clawed its way back into the middle of the conference pack after a 1-4 start.

The Buckeyes lost their second straight game despite 27 points from JaQuan Lyle.

SPORTS BRIEFS Injured Stewart to miss start of driver’s final NASCAR season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony Stewart will miss the start of his final NASCAR season after fracturing his back in an accident on an all-terrain vehicle, Stewart-Haas Racing said Thursday.

The three-time NASCAR champion suffered a “burst fracture of the L1 vertebra” when he crashed on an ATV Sunday and he had surgery Wednesday, the team said. A timetable for Stewart’s return has not been determined, but SHR said he is expected to make a full recovery and race this year.

Drivers report to Daytona next week to begin preparations for the season-opening Daytona 500 on Feb. 21. An interim driver for the No. 14 Chevrolet was not named Thursday.

Goodell will require NFL teams to interview women for exec jobs

SAN FRANCISCO – NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will implement a “Rooney Rule” requiring that women be interviewed for executive positions with teams around the league and in his own office, too.

Goodell made the announcement Thursday in his opening remarks at the first NFL Women’s Summit, part of Super Bowl 50.

The Bills hired the NFL’s first full-time female assistant coach last month, Kathryn

Smith, as special teams quality control coach. That move came after Jen Welter coached the Cardinals’ inside linebackers during Arizona’s training camp last summer, while Sarah Thomas became the league’s first female official this season.

Fowler, Lowry, Matsuyama share Phoenix Open lead at 6-under 65

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Rickie Fowler overcame some bad shots for a share of the lead Thursday in the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Phil Mickelson compounded his mistakes and fell back.

After an hour-long frost delay at chilly TPC Scottsdale, Fowler played the first six holes in 5-under par. A group behind, Mickelson took the lead at 5 under with a birdie on his eighth hole.

While Fowler finished with a 6-under 65 to tie Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama for the lead in the suspended first round, Mickelson had a 69 after dropping four strokes in a two-hole stretch.

Mickelson bogeyed the par-3 fourth after hitting short and right and failing to reach the green with his second, and unraveled with a triple bogey on the par-4 fifth.

Bubba Watson opened with a 69, finishing in fading light a day after saying he doesn’t like the renovated course.

COLDPLAY TO HONOR PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO – Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin says the band’s Super Bowl halftime show will try to honor the past, present and future.

At a news conference Thursday, the band said that they will have the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles there to represent the future and Beyoncé – whose 2013 performance they adore – for the past.

“We’ve watched all of the other halftime shows many times and most of them are fantastic,” Martin said. “I think we’re going to try to celebrate those other years and hopefully make a show as memorable as some of our favorites.”

BBC says American actor Matt LeBlanc to join ‘Top Gear’

This artist rendering released Sept. 17 by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art shows the proposed museum in Chicago.

Judge: Suit seeking to stop Chicago Lucas Museum can go on CHICAGO – A federal judge on Thursday allowed a lawsuit to proceed that seeks to stop “Star Wars” creator George Lucas from building a $400 million museum along Chicago’s lakefront, leaving open the possibility that the museum as currently envisioned may not get built.

Friends of the Parks, a nonprofit group that filed the lawsuit, argues that construction of the 300,000-square-foot Lucas Museum of Narrative Art would violate public-trust laws that restrict development along Lake Michigan and that guarantee open public access.

In a written opinion released after a brief hearing in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Judge John Darrah explained that he was rejecting the city’s request to toss the lawsuit because he thinks Friends of the Parks makes plausible arguments that turning over the land “is not for the benefit of the public but will impair public interest in the land ... and promote private ... commercial interests.”

Construction at the site south of Soldier Field was expected to start this spring, though Thursday’s ruling makes that unlikely.

The city council backed the project in October, offering the museum a 99year lease on the lakefront property for $10.

Lucas chose Chicago over San Francisco for the museum after saying the California city was “doodling around,” while Chicago officials aggressively pursued the project.

An attorney for the city of Chicago, Brian Sieve, expressed concern at Thursday’s hearing about proceedings dragging as the case now heads toward a trial, telling Darrah about the process: “It is urgent from our perspective.”

LONDON – Former “Friends” star Matt LeBlanc will be joining the BBC’s popular “Top Gear” program, presenting the revamped car show with Chris Evans, the British broadcaster said Thursday.

LeBlanc, who starred as Joey Tribbiani on the NBC sitcom “Friends,” is the first non-British actor to host the BBC show in its 39-year history.

One of the globe’s most popular programs, “Top Gear” has won a huge following with its mix of car tips, driving stunts and jokey banter.

“As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I’m honored and excited to be a part of this iconic show’s new chapter,” LeBlanc said. “What a thrill!”

Run-DMC to open for Chili Peppers at pre-Super Bowl

ATLANTA – Run-DMC will open up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a pre-Super Bowl concert in San Francisco.

The famed rap group is expected to hit the stage at the sixth annual DirecTV Super Saturday Night concert party at Pier 70. The show is an invitation-only event co-hosted by Mark Cuban’s AXS TV. “We get to be in the energy of the Super Bowl, which is amazing,” Joseph Simmons, known as the Rev. Run, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “This should be high energy, fun and cool.”

Super Bowl 50 will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday.

Simmons said he’s also going to attend the game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.

Professional caregivers help seniors stay home SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman “There’s no place like home,” and when given the choice to remain at home or move into a long-term care facility, many infirm seniors would prefer to stay put. However, when seniors can no longer take care of themselves, family or friends need to help, which challenges everyone.

A compromise is to hire in-home caregivers to help care for a loved one in the comforts of home.

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) says, “If a doctor orders in-home health care, Medicare may cover part of the cost. A long-term care insurance policy can cover costs when Medicare runs out. Medicare will pay for only part-time or ‘intermittent’ care from a home health aide.

“This may mean three visits a week for physical therapy. Medicare will not cover homemaker services. Nor will it cover personal care services, such as bathing and dressing provided by a home health

aide if that’s the only care required.”

AARP recommends that the first step is to determine the level of care needed, and determine costs. Caregivers include medical professionals such as nurses and physical therapists, who provide skilled medical services.

In contrast, home health aides, according to AARP, are “people who’ve received formal training and have passed a competency test. They may be certified nursing assistants (CNAs), or personal care aides. They may provide the basic health services such as checking a patient’s pulse and temperature, changing wound dressings, administering medicines, and helping with exercises.”

If a senior doesn’t require in-home medical care, but needs help with personal care and household chores, a home care aide, also called a personal care aide, could help. No certification is required for these workers, and many are employed through agencies.

MANITOWOC, Wis. – Bomb threats to a Wisconsin county sheriff’s office that made an apparent reference to “getting justice” for the convict profiled in the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer” are the latest in a long string of threats made to the department and its officers since the series went online, officials said Thursday.

Four of the dozens of phone and email threats made to the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department have been referred to the FBI and the Wisconsin Department of Justice because they include specific targets, including individual officers, sheriff’s Inspector Gregg Schetter told The Associated Press.

Law enforcement has asked the more than 100 employees at the sheriff’s department and jail to be vigilant for possible trouble, Schetter said.

“It’s hard for them to know whether their safety is guaranteed,” he said. “It’s been unnerving to say the least.”

The latest threats were made by a male caller Wednesday evening, warning of bombs inside the sheriff’s office building and a vehicle

The caller also mentioned “getting justice for Steven,” something Manitowoc police said was an apparent reference to Steven Avery, the Wisconsin man profiled in the 10-part Netflix series released in December who was convicted of killing photographer Teresa Halbach a decade ago.

The series implies the Manitowoc County sheriff’s deputies planted evidence in the case, a claim authorities have dismissed.

Avery had been wrongfully convicted years earlier in a rape case and served 18 years in prison. He sued Manitowoc County for tens of millions before he and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted in Halbach’s death.

“It’s troubling that people talk about wanting fairness in this case, yet are so quick to make decisions and bring violence into it as a solution,” Schetter said.

Extra patrols have been added around the sheriff’s department, the dispatch center, the jail and courtAP file photo house, he said.

Steven Avery listens to testimony in 2007 in the courtroom at the Calumet County Court“I know it only takes one person to cause harm. I’m afraid for our emhouse in Chilton, Wis. ployees and the citizens in our city in the parking lot “packed with ex- later, according to Manitowoc police. and our county,” he said. “I pray that plosives.” A second, “very similar” A search did not turn up anything nobody acts out on anything based on a film.” threat was received about 20 minutes suspicious.

PARENTING

Research confirms: It’s good to have a strong-willed child

Challenging, sure – frustrating even – but not bad

By LAUREN KNIGHT

“I

The Washington Post

will not cut my hair. Never.

The answer is never, Mom, and the answer will always be never, so you should just stop asking me.” He said it without attitude, in a matter-of-fact way, as though he were simply reporting on the weather or time of day.

At 6 years old, my second-born son, Oliver, has nearly perfected the delivery of undesirable news to others, news he knows the recipient would rather not hear. He is used to going against the grain by now. Since he was 3 years old, he has dug in his heels about anything and everything. The smallest things strike him as unacceptable: the wrong pair of pants, the wrong dinner, the way his shoes feel or the way he is tucked in at night. He is a child of high standards, and if he disagrees with something, he makes it known.

It’s not that Oliver is a difficult child; he is actually an absolute delight. He is sweet and generous, helpful with his little brother (with all younger children, for that matter). He notices beautiful colors in the flower gardens on our street or the leaves changing in the fall. He delights in the small things and is grateful and polite to others, he is creative and bright. But when he disagrees, he is the most headstrong, stubborn person I have ever come across.

He does not comply to be obedient, he complies when he feels it is the right thing to do or it makes sense to him.

That can make it difficult to parent him, at times.

All children have a bit of this headstrong, spirited way in them at some point or in some measure. I remember overhearing a conversation between my husband and my oldest son, Milo, then 2, during bath time years ago.

Milo had said, “Soon I will grow up and be a man.” My husband, amused and teasing, replied, “Are you going to be a nice man, or a nasty man?” to which Milo replied, “Just a little bit nasty.

Not too nasty, though.” Nasty, as in naughty. As in, imperfect. Little did Milo know, his younger brother Oliver, just an infant at the time, would be testing out those limits in full force once

his personality fully came through. “A little bit nasty” would come to represent spirited, strong-willed, obstinate, and particular.

Though there are plenty of times when parenting a strong-willed, sometimes disobedient child is a difficult, exhausting endeavor, it turns out there are plenty of benefits to a little bit of naughtiness or disobedience.

Research shows disobedient children earn more as adults and also are more likely to be entrepreneurs. As it turns out, some rather intelligent children who defy authority or challenge the status quo tend to think more outside the box, lending them a certain creative upper hand when it comes to new ideas and starting businesses.

Entrepreneurs tend not to play by the rules.

Laura Markham, a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, explains strong-willed children (those who are described as spirited, headstrong, rambunctious, and even courageous) are usually self-motivated and inner-directed, and often grow into leaders as adults. They are more impervious to peer pressure and go after what they want with more gusto. They want to “learn things for themselves rather than accepting what others say, so they test the limits over and over,” and this relates to relationships, as well. Such discernment involves not only when they cut their hair, eat vegetable, or choose to wear a coat, but also in whom they decide to trust and in whom they choose to follow or whom they allow themselves to be influenced by.

Obedience is not always a desirable behavior for which to strive. The question of morality versus obedience is an important one, especially in parenting and teaching children. Morality is doing what’s right, no matter what you’re told, while obedience is doing what you’re told, sometimes unquestioningly, sometimes despite knowing better, sometimes to the detriment of others or one’s self.

Of course we must insist for our children to obey us when their lives are in danger. They need to listen when we make them hold our hands in parking lots or crossing streets.

They need to refrain from grabbing the sharp end of a knife or the hot burner on a stove. But for the little things, the everyday, non-life-threatening issues, we might let up a bit on them. Obedience as a result of trust, not of broken will, is of chief importance. We want our children to listen to us because they trust we have their best interest at heart, a trust that comes from discussion, connection, and empathy, not from blind obedience through fear of punishment. We want our children to grow into independent adults who can make important decisions for themselves.

So for now, let the little things go.

The hair may be unkempt, but the spirit is intact.

“Research shows disobedient children earn more as adults and also are more likely to be entrepreneurs. As it turns out, some rather intelligent children who defy authority or challenge the status quo tend to think more outside the box, lending them a certain creative upper hand when it comes to new ideas and starting businesses.

Entrepreneurs tend not to play by the rules.”

The good news is we outrun the lions every day. And I am especially inspired by the people who conquer stress in a healthy way, flip the metaphor on its head and show the lions who’s boss. That’s the goal in my relentless pursuit of well-adjusted children, a meaningful career and a purposeful life. I am determined to chase the lions rather than be chased.

My tools in this game are healthy doses of perspective and humility. I make a lot of mistakes. But I’m a good learner. And I love a challenge. My journey is what this blog is all about.

This opportunity came to me in a serendipitous way. Twenty years ago, I traded in my Northwest Herald byline for what I thought was a career in public relations. Instead, I went from reporter to corporate concierge to corporate communicator. I got married along the way and have lived the news vicariously through my husband, Kevin Lyons, this paper’s news editor.

It was Kevin who mentioned early

one morning that features editor Valerie Katzenstein was looking for someone to blog on parent and family issues, and that I should email her if I was interested. I was packing for a work trip, picking up the house and preparing for two days of messy school and kids sports schedules. My fist question was: How could I possibly fit this into our routines? My next question was: How could I pass up the opportunity to write for fun on a topic I’m passionate about? I sent the email.

To share a little about me, I am 44.

I am a full-time communications professional and share full-time parenting responsibilities with my husband. I am grateful to have the flexibility to work from home and also spend time taking the Metra from Woodstock to Chicago.

Together, Kevin and I are raising an 11-year-old boy, Jackson, a jack-of-alltrades who never met a sport or hobby he didn’t think he could conquer.

His current line-up includes travel basketball and baseball, the drums and the Rubik’s Cube. And Mallory, our 7-year-old – a free spirit, firecracker of a girl who questions authority and until recently never cared much for any sort of organized activity. But she recently started gymnastics and is

loving it, and I am loving that she has found her thing.

We also are parents to an almost 12-year-old chocolate lab named Fletch, named for the late 1980s Chevy Chase film. In the past few years, Fletch has evolved from beast puppy to elder statesman around our house. He still gets himself in trouble but with a bit more charm.

So that’s us … and if you choose to follow this blog, I will offer anecdotes about chasing my Lyons as I chase my modern-day lions in disguise – from the daily race to get the kids to school on time – in clean clothes, and with homework done and semi-nutritional lunches packed – to the more challenging life events we face as we try to figure it all out. I hope to have some fun with it. And I hope to provide a relatable point of view and, ideally, a place to exchange strategies for this wild ride that is parenthood.

Welcome to my jungle! It’s nice to meet you.

Follow me at NWHerald.com/features/chasinglyons or @chasinglyons on Instagram and Twitter, or email me at chasinglyons@gmail.com. I’d love to hear your parenting tips and experiences.

If you are a parent, chances are good that you can relate to being chased by a lion. Raising kids is all about charging through life by the seat of your pants.

Climbing insurmountable hills of responsibility. Staring down fear of the unknown. It’s absolutely breathless.

And joyful, too.

There’s a reason why we feel this way, as I learned years ago, pre-kids, during a seminar on work/life balance.

Simply stated (and experts out there, please keep me honest!), our bodies don’t discriminate between physical and psychological stress. Our brains perceive a threat – whether it’s the stress of being chased by a wild animal, a big deadline or an unruly 8-year-old – and produce the adrenaline and cortisol we need to respond appropriately for self preservation.

So that depleted, sometimes ravenous feeling we tend to get, like, always?

We’ve been chased by lions all day, and our bodies understandably want to refuel.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

For game bidding, we love majors

CELEBRITY CIPHER

David Brin, a scientist and award-winning author of science fiction, said, “There’s no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives.”

At the bridge table, we love majors and dislike minors up to the game-level, because in a major we have to win one fewer trick to get the game bonus.

However, when climbing up to a slam, minors are fine because we need 12 or 13 tricks whatever the strain.

When you have game values but do not find a major-suit fit, you steer toward three no-trump. Only if you are sure that contract cannot make, do you – kicking and screaming – play in five of a minor.

So, at a low level, we try to find a major-suit fit. Look at the South hand in today’s diagram. After opening one diamond and hearing partner respond one heart, South must rebid one spade, not two diamonds. If partner does not raise spades, South can show his long diamond suit on the next round. Here, of course, North raises to two spades (promising four-card support), and South jumps to four spades – when you smell a game, bid that game.

The defenders start with three rounds of clubs. After ruffing, how should declarer continue?

South must get his diamond suit established, and the heart king is a red herring. Declarer should draw two rounds of trumps, cash the diamond ace-king, ruff a diamond on the board, play a heart to his ace and lead out winning diamonds. He loses only two clubs and one trump.

cancers that are found by screening tests (usually mammograms). Under the microscope, the cancerous cells of DCIS have a similar appearance to the cells of breast cancers that are invading the breast. Even though DCIS is not invading the breast, it looks as if it might do so in the future.

About 50,000 to 60,000 DCIS lesions are removed each year in the United States. Yet the number of cases of invasive breast cancer has not gone down. That seems to mean in most women who have the DCIS surgically removed, it never would have invaded the breast or spread. But in a few, it would have.

The problem is, we haven’t yet figured out a way to identify the relatively few DCIS tumors that will invade and spread from the larger number that won’t.

You and your doctor are going to have to consider your individual risk factors. If your doctor thinks not having surgery, just closely monitoring the DCIS, is an option, you would need to decide if you are comfortable with that plan.

Some men face a similar dilemma. Some prostate cancers never spread. There are pretty good, but not perfect, ways of identifying those “indolent” cancers. Often, men and their doctors choose not to remove these cancers, but just to monitor them.

Fortunately, the majority of women with DCIS have an excellent prognosis. Their cancer does not spread.

ADVICE & PUZZLES | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Dear Dr. K: I have been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ. My doctor wants me to have surgery. But recently I read about a study that said not all women with this type of breast cancer even need to be treated.

Can you help clear this up?

Dear Reader: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of breast cancer.

In DCIS, the cancerous cells are contained within the breast’s ducts (which carry milk to the nipple) but have not invaded surrounding tissue.

The standard treatment for DCIS is surgery. This might mean a mastectomy, which removes the entire breast and usually some nearby lymph nodes. Or it might be a lumpectomy, which removes only the cancerous tumor and a small amount of healthy tissue around it. Surgery might be followed with radiation therapy, designed to kill any possible remaining cancer cells in that breast.

But a recent study suggests standard treatment might be too aggressive.

The researchers studied more than 108,000 women with DCIS. The main finding of the study was the chance of premature death in women of all ages who had DCIS was no greater than in women without DCIS. However, the chance of death from breast cancer was higher in women younger than 35 and in African-American women who had DCIS. Some media coverage of this study left the impression DCIS doesn’t need to be treated. In fact, all patients in the study received some form of treatment. What the study does say is none of the treatments differed very much from one another with respect to ultimate survival.

Here is the dilemma: DCIS constitutes about 20 to 25 percent of all breast

The Family Circus

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips was a gentleman. He helped me into the car, etc. He also taught me how to dance, and we had a great time. He walked me to my front door at midnight.

When I got to church the following Sunday, I thanked him for coming to the dance with me and told him I had a wonderful time.

His family knows I like him a lot. I talked to my mom about it and told her I was going to ask him out. She was fine with it, but when I said something about it to friends, they said it might tarnish our friendship.

Should I ask him out or wait for him to do it? I don’t want to look dumb.

And what do I say to my friends? – Texas Girl Who’s

Ready Dear Texas Girl: When a

guy spends most of the day with a girl, it’s a good bet he likes her. Wait a week or two before making your move, because he may ask you out in the meantime.

However, if he doesn’t, then casually ask him to do something with you, such as going to a movie or sporting event or going hiking. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

And as to what to say to your friends about it, I vote for keeping your mouth firmly shut.

Soup to Nutz

Dear Abby: My husband passed away recently, and I have some items of his I’m unsure how to tastefully display to honor his memory. They are his Bible, a U.S. flag in a triangular display box (he was a military veteran), a set of deer antlers, works he authored, his guitar and family photos. I don’t want to build a shrine, but I don’t want to stick these things in a closet, either.

He was passionate about his pursuits, and his passion was contagious. I want to pay tribute to him without making others uncomfortable. I have a small house, so a grouping of the items takes up significant space. The way I have them set up now is kind of shrine-like, and it’s emotionally wrenching both for me and for visiting family. Suggestions, Abby?

– Widow In Houston Dear Widow: I am sorry for the loss of your husband. Not knowing how many rooms there are in your home, it’s impossible to tell you sight unseen how to display this memorabilia. However, to lessen the emotional impact, it might be better not to group these mementos all in one place.

Another option would be to display the items at different times, so not all of them will be viewed at once.

Dear Abby: There’s a guy I go to a church with.

We spent most of the day together with his family. At first, it felt a little weird, and I was the one who broke the silence while we were at dinner. We went to a dance afterward, and he
