Northwest Herald and NWHerald.com are a division of Shaw Media.

A miracle on ice that melts your heart In the National Hockey League they are called enforcers. When a teammate is a victim of a dirty or especially violent play, these intimidators respond to send the opposition a message: Don’t mess with my guys.

Most enforcers are typically bigger and less skilled than their teammates. They don’t play a lot and they rarely score a goal. These tough guys tend to be traded from team to team. They are the underdogs who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their team and are very popular with the fans and their teammates.

With that being said, enter 33-year-old John Scott, who lives up to all the qualifications of an enforcer. At 6 feet, 8 inches tall and 275 pounds, Scott is a Goliath among Davids. His skill set is noticeably less impressive than his colleagues. In his eight years in the league, he has played for six different teams. And he has scored only five goals in his entire career.

That’s an average of 0.625 goals a year – not exactly a scoring machine.

Scott started this season playing for the Arizona Coyotes, but played in only 11 of their 49 games. To make matters worse, some weeks ago he was informed that he had been traded to the Montreal Canadiens. Oh, and then Montreal immediately told him that he was demoted to its American Hockey League minor league affiliate, the St. John’s IceCaps.

Now, you would think that would be the last we would hear about John Scott as his hockey career silently grinds to a woeful end in icy Newfoundland. Well, not quite. Let’s consider what Paul Harvey would call “the rest of the story.”

It all started with the NHL All-Star voting.

All-Stars are selected by the fans. Almost immediately John Scott’s name started to appear on ballots and suddenly a fan campaign to anoint Scott an All-Star was born. The Internet was flash-flooded with Twitter’s #VoteJohnScott and sportswriters’ podcasts. His vote tallies put him on the top spot of the leaderboard. Despite Scott’s appeals to the fans to vote for his teammates, when the final results were announced, John Scott was not only an All-Star, but fans voted him the captain of the

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava Pacific Division team.

Now, this is where it gets interesting. It appears that the administrators in the NHL didn’t like those results, so first they tried to disqualify him from participating in the All-Star game.

When that didn’t work, they appealed to him, with one asking, “Do you think this is something your kids would be proud of?”

That was the moment when the NHL executives lost John Scott.

Scott replied, “While I may not deserve to be an All-Star, I know I deserve to be the judge of what my kids will – and won’t – be proud of me for.”

He then decided that he was indeed going to the All-Star game, not for the glory, but for his family.

So he donned his All-Star jersey and stepped onto the ice. The fans applauded and chanted his name, and the players tapped their sticks on the ice in honor of him. Especially when he scored two goals. And when he captained his team to a victory. And when they carried him on their shoulders to celebrate his being voted the AllStar MVP. And when the Hockey Hall of Fame told him they wanted to display his helmet.

But the best scene of this miracle on ice wasn’t John Scott’s performance. It was when Scott hugged his wife and picked up his two little girls, holding one in each arm, and skated onto the ice after the game. They were wearing miniature versions of his jersey, only they didn’t say “Scott” on the back. They proudly said, “Daddy.”

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. For some insights into John Scott’s story, read the article he recently wrote in The Players’ Tribune titled, “A Guy Like Me.” He can be reached at mikepenkava@ comcast.net.

“My interest is seeing to it that our county government is as clean, lean and green as possible,” said Walkup, also of Crystal Lake.

Voters approved a 2014 referendum to make the chairman popularly elected to four-year terms, replacing the 40-year-old system of the board itself electing the chairman to two-year terms.

But a peculiarity in state law only allows a popularly elected chairman in a county the size of McHenry’s to cast votes on issues if he or she also holds a county board seat, hence why Walkup is running for both.

The size and the makeup of the board for the next four years will depend on election results.

Should Gottemoller win, he will resign his District 3 seat – which would then be filled by appointment and board vote – and the board will be 25 members. The board also will be 25

CL to pursue fines in bleachers case

Mayor: Move designed to ‘make people of Crystal Lake whole’

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The multiyear lawsuit over the Crystal Lake South High School bleachers has cost the city of Crystal Lake about $250,000.

Mayor Aaron Shepley announced during the annual State of the Community address Friday afternoon at the Crystal Lake Country Club that the city plans to recoup its expenses in an effort to evenly spread the cost of the lawsuit across all residents within territorially larger Community High School District 155, not just Crystal Lake.

Aaron Shepley The city will file an ordinance violation charge against the school district in McHenry County court within the next few weeks, Shepley said after his speech. He did not know how long the process would take.

The complaint will include the maximum amount in fines the city could levy, which at $5.5 million is more than the city plans on collecting, he said.

The city has been tallying fines – $1,000 per violation for five zoning violations – every day since October 2014, when an appellate court judge ruled the district was in violation of the city’s zoning code.

“This has never been about punishing anyone, and that [$5.5 million] would clearly be a punishment,” Shepley said,

Daryl Quitalig for Shaw Media

The sun sets behind the Crystal Lake South High School west bleachers before the game Oct. 2, 2015. Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley announced Friday during his annual State of the Community address that the city will seek to collect fines levied against Community High School District 155. The fines were a result of a multiyear lawsuit against the district over the Crystal Lake South bleachers. adding that his goal is to make Crystal Lake residents whole again.

District 155 spokeswoman Shannon Mortimer did not return a call for comment Friday afternoon.

Another party in the bleacher lawsuit also is seeking reimbursement for its costs to the tune of more than $300,000.

The district has agreed that the Gurbas and Bianchis – the owners of two homes that back up to the bleachers – are

entitled to reimbursement under the law, but have objected to the hourly rates being proposed by the plaintiffs’ attorney as well as some of the bills included, according to court records.

The district’s insurance will cover any of the costs mandated by the judge, Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said earlier this week.

A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Monday morning.

LOCAL BRIEFS Loaded handgun found in Woodstock post office

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock police responded Friday to the U.S. Post Office to investigate a loaded handgun that was found in the lobby, Woodstock Police Chief Robert Lowen said.

Lowen said police responded about 11 a.m. to the post office, 1050 Country Club Road, Woodstock, after they were called by someone in the post office who found the gun leaning against a door in the lobby.

The 9 mm handgun was recovered, Lowen said, and the owner was identified. He said the magazine was loaded, but a round wasn’t chambered.

Lowen said he could not give any more information on the incident because it is under investigation.

Ex-county assistant state’s attorney faces felony theft charges

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former McHenry County assistant state’s attorney faces felony theft charges after she allegedly stole more than $10,000 from several accounts held by the principal attorney of a McHenry law firm where she worked.

Robin L. Perry, 51, faces two charges of theft of an amount more than $10,000 but less than $100,000, a Robin L. Perry Class 2 felony. She also is charged with four counts of theft of an amount between $500 and $10,000, which are Class 3 felonies.

If convicted on the more serious charges, Perry could face between two and five years in prison.

The indictment against Perry, of Spring Grove, alleges she exerted unauthorized control over the property of Guy R. Youman at different times between November 2012 and March 2015. The indictment lists three accounts that were targeted.

Youman, the principal and managing attorney at the Law Offices of

Rupp & Youman said he discovered the alleged theft while performing his annual accounting in early 2015. He said Perry was employed as an attorney at his firm from November 2013 to September 2014.

“These are accounts that I have control of and I have the checkbooks for,” Youman said. “And she helped herself to those checkbooks.”

Youman said, in total, the thefts were in the lower range of the $10,000 to $100,000 range, although he declined to comment on exactly how much money was involved.

Perry worked as an assistant state’s attorney in the late 1990s. She also served as a Zoning Board of Appeals member from 2003 to 2011, according to McHenry County human resources records.

Perry was indicted on the charges Jan. 28, but the indictment was sealed until Friday when she was booked into McHenry County Jail on $50,000 bond.

Perry could not be reached for comment, and there was no attorney listed for her.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs declined to comment on the case because it’s pending.

Perry is next due in court at 9 a.m.

Thresholds launching mental health program to assist ‘most vulnerable’

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – For the first time, McHenry County will offer a particular program that provides a team of specialists who serve adults with the most severe mental illnesses and that are most at-risk of homelessness, hospitalization or incarceration.

Woodstock-based mental health service provider Thresholds is launching an Assertive Community Treatment team, a program that will provide flexible, multifaceted treatment to some of the most vulnerable residents of McHenry County.

The McHenry County Mental Health Board will support the program with a $220,000 grant that will help Thresholds hire seven employees that will make up the team, the board’s Executive Director Scott Block said.

“It really is a self-contained team that can go out into the community and provide individuals with the appropriate level of care on-site,” Block said.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, studies have shown that assertive community treatment is more effective than traditional treatment for people experiencing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The alliance estimates this type of treatment can reduce hospitalizations by 20 percent.

Likewise, the Center for Evidence-Based Practices at Case Western Reserve University calls assertive community treatment one of the oldest and most widely researched practices in behavioral health for people with severe mental illnesses.

In McHenry County, the program will provide treatment 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The goal is to in-

“It really is a self-contained team that can go out into the community and provide individuals with the appropriate level of care on-site.”

crease the amount of time patients can spend working, in school or socializing independently, Block said.

Specialists with expertise in psychiatry, nursing, social work, substance abuse treatment, employment and peer support will work together to provide services to up to 60 people initially, Block said.

The new program is part of the Mental Health Board’s efforts to fill the gap left once Pioneer Center for Human Services stops offering adult psychiatric services to about 1,200 clients in March.

The Mental Health Board last month denied McHenry-based Pioneer’s request for additional funding, and decided to move those services to other agencies amid funding and billing troubles at Pioneer.

Block said Thresholds has expertise in assertive community treatment because it offers the program at its other Illinois facilities.

Thresholds is in the process of hiring team members, and should launch the program within the next month.

Once the program is running, Block said it should be able to sustain itself without assistance from the Mental Health Board.

Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?

We frequently receive calls from homeowners who complain about odors when using hot water. This problem seems to be more common with private wells as opposed to municipal water. The rotten egg smell is called hydrogen sulfide, and it is composed of hydrogen, sulfur and bacteria. The reason that most municipal water doesn’t have this problem is due to heavy chlorination, which kills the bacteria.

All water heaters are equipped with an anode rod. This rod is usually made from magnesium and is designed to protect the water heater from rusting. In most cases the odor can be eliminated by replacing the anode rod with an aluminum/zinc rod. When replacing an anode rod it is also recommended to treat the tank with hydrogen peroxide or bleach.

They will kill off the bacteria and eliminate the odor. Sometimes the well is contaminated and needs to be treated. This type of service is usually performed by companies that specialize in wells and water conditioning.

n WHAT: Woodstock Fire Rescue

District Board of Trustees meeting

n WHEN: 7 p.m. Feb. 25 n WHERE: Fire Station Three, 2900 N.

Raffel Road, Woodstock

Rescue District Board of Trustees meeting, 7 p.m. Feb. 25 at Fire Station Three, 2900 N. Raffel Road.

Deputy Chief Terry Menzel’s position will end April 30, Webster said, and he might be hired back to work part time. Menzel had been deputy chief since 2003, and started with the Woodstock Rescue Squad in 1973. In 1993, the Woodstock Rescue Squad, Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District and Woodstock City Fire Department consolidated, Webster said.

Cutting the deputy chief position will save the district $150,000, Webster said, and about $830,000 in cuts are needed after losing the Lakewood station, which the district had staffed for the past five years.

Webster said the district is using the changes to restructure the department by replacing the deputy chief position with a few battalion chiefs, a position the department does not currently have.

Webster said he also told the board of trustees he is planning on retiring

by April 30, 2017, so transitioning in a new chief needs to be part of the restructuring.

“We were moving in this direction anyway,” Webster said, adding that it’s still tough to see people lose their jobs.

Menzel declined to comment on his position being cut.

The village of Lakewood voted at its Nov. 24 meeting to go with a slightly cheaper contract offered by the Crystal Lake Fire Department.

The Crystal Lake Fire Department will now provide services to Lakewood from its Bard Road station – a station that was built when Crystal Lake handled Lakewood’s fire service with serving that territory in mind – with the current staff of four to five personnel, Crystal Lake Fire Chief Paul DeRaedt has said.

WOODSTOCK – With the elimination of a deputy chief position, the upcoming retirement of the chief and other position and wage cuts, the Woodstock Fire Rescue District is reinventing itself, Chief Ralph Webster said.

The district knew changes would be coming since the village of Lakewood decided not to renew its contract with the Woodstock Fire Rescue District, closing the Lakewood station on Haligus Road that was staffed with 12 Woodstock Fire Rescue District employees.

“We’ve made the decision to eliminate the deputy chief position, and there will be a reduction in wages, and hours and number of positions for the part-time ranks,” Webster said. “…

Exactly how many positions, exactly what the new wage structure will look like, those things have not been finalized.”

Webster said those plans should be finalized by the next Woodstock Fire

CRYSTAL LAKE – One person was taken to the hospital and two more were treated at the scene of a minor crash on Route 14 during Friday afternoon rush hour, a fire official said. Crystal Lake Fire Department Battalion Chief Tom Pollnow said the crash at Route 14 and Crystal Point Drive caused only minor damage, and the injuries were not life-threatening. The cars involved were quickly moved into a nearby parking lot and did not disrupt traffic, Pollnow said.

County Board rules revised since the 2014 referendum forbid a chairman who also holds a County Board seat from receiving a salary and benefits beyond that of the chairmanship.

Gottemoller said shrinking the county’s onerous property tax bills only can be done by bringing back good-paying jobs, which took a major hit with the popping of the housing bubble and the ending of the county home construction boom.

its levy flat for years and reduced its staff by 15 percent since 2010, he said growing the tax base is the only solution.

“If we don’t find a way to get those jobs back here, we have no chance of long-term lowering of property taxes,” Gottemoller said.

Walkup said that holding the line by rejecting the annual inflationary increase is inadequate, and believes that there’s room in the budget for a reduction. Other local governments would follow suit, as Walkup says they have with the county’s flat levy. County government accounts for less than 10 percent of county tax bills on average.

“The county is the line [on property tax bills] that everybody is watching.

What we do sets an example, and that example percolates down,” Walkup

said.

Walkup took some shots at Gottemoller, accusing him of having conflicts of interest as a land-use and zoning attorney, and not being a full-time chairman. Walkup said he would be in the office each day as a “constant presence” and attend every committee meeting.

He also said that he would lead the minority of what he calls “reformer” candidates that aggressively question spending and contracts.

“I will be trying to lead that group, and we have a good chance that that group [after the election] could become the majority on the County Board,” Walkup said.

Gottemoller steadfastly defended his record and his integrity, citing votes and issues in which he recused himself and the fact that his law firm no lon-

ger takes any property tax, zoning or related cases in McHenry County. He also hired someone to take a number of his cases to devote the time to the chairmanship and its duties.

“Mr. Walkup is basically running against me, not running for the job,” Gottemoller said.

He also called Walkup’s hands-on plans micromanagement that run contrary to how county government works.

As for the idea that the minority bloc could end up with control, Gottemoller said they will stay a minority because they are “spectacularly inept at working with other people.”

No Democratic candidate is running for the seat, meaning the winner of the GOP primary will run unopposed in November unless the Democrats gather signatures to caucus in an opponent.

Rauner unveils gov’t consolidation bills

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Gov. Bruce Rauner and like-minded lawmakers unveiled four proposed pieces of legislation Friday aimed at helping reduce the state’s 7,000 units of government.

The McHenry County Board’s travails last year during an unsuccessful township consolidation initiative played a significant role in the developing of one of them.

The legislation is the first inspired by the final report released last month from the Task Force on Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates chaired by Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The report, which included a 27-point action plan, concluded that the sheer number of taxing bodies and the unfunded mandates imposed on them by Springfield play a significant role in the state’s high propEvelyn erty taxes.

Sanguinetti “Today, we are one step closer to empowering our local communities and giving them the necessary tools to rein in their out-of-control costs,” Rauner said at a ceremony in Naperville. “These four bills are just the start of delivering more value to taxpayers by reducing layers of redundant bureaucracy.”

Three of the four bills grant the ability to consolidate by referendum where none previously existed.

One bill would allow for the consolidation of “duplicative, excessive or unnecessary” units of government by citizen referendum. Another would expand a power granted to the DuPage County Board to eliminate certain small, do-nothing units of government to all Illinois counties. A third would grant the power that was given to Evanston voters to eliminate their township, which was coterminous with the boundaries of the city itself, to voters in the state’s 20 or so coterminous townships.

The fourth bill seeks to eliminate “arbitrary” barriers to township consolidation, such as the ones the County Board encountered when it entertained, and rejected, a citizen group’s request to put consolidation referendums on the ballot.

While counties already have the power to put township consolidation to referendum, state statutes contain provisions that make it impractical, such as the fact that taxes would increase in a consolidated township for the property owners in the township with the smaller tax rate. As for eliminating a county’s townships altogether, state law requires voters to eliminate the county board form of government

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks Friday at Naperville City Hall announcing four bipartisan pieces of legislation to streamline local government. State Sen. Michael Connelly (right) listens.

“Today, we are one step closer to empowering our local communities and giving them the necessary tools to rein in their out-ofcontrol costs. These four bills are just the start of delivering more value to taxpayers by reducing layers of redundant bureaucracy.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner

on announcing the four proposed pieces of legislation and replace it with a board of no more than five county commissioners, a form of government seen in rural, agrarian counties downstate.

Several McHenry County lawmakers are part of the effort. State Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, and Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo – both of whom were task force members – are sponsors of two of the bills. Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, a fellow staunch supporter of consolidation, is sponsoring one.

Illinois by far has the most taxing bodies of any state – Texas comes in second at slightly more than 5,100. The task force’s report directly links that number to the fact that Illinois has the second-highest property tax burden in the nation, which at 2.32 percent of home value is second only to New Jersey.

The plethora of local governments, according to the task force report and critics, makes accountability and good government hard goals to achieve because it is far too difficult for voters and watchdogs to keep an eye on them all or make informed decisions on whom to elect to represent them.

Franks, McSweeney and other lawmakers have had limited success over the years pushing pro-consolidation legislation, and some of the bills unveiled Friday mirror past efforts. Local government lobbying groups have a very powerful lobbying presence in Springfield, and state lawmakers, many of whom got their start in local government, historically have been averse to consolidation.

But supporters of consolidation see recent small victories, such as the DuPage County pilot program and the

The bills Gov. Bruce Rauner and like-minded lawmakers unveiled four bills aimed at helping pare down the state’s 7,000 units of government. They include: n Allowing citizens to consolidate “duplicative, excessive or unnecessary” governments by referendum. n Expanding a consolidation pilot program in DuPage County to all Illinois counties. n Removing “arbitrary” barriers to consolidating townships. n Allowing citizens to consolidate coterminous townships, meaning townships that have the exact same boundaries as a municipality.

Police: 6 found dead in home targeted The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Chicago police said late Friday they believe six family members found dead in their southwest side home were killed in a “targeted incident,” although they’re still trying to determine a possible motive.

It’s possible someone in the family “was involved in something that could have targeted them,” or that the killings occurred during a robbery or a domestic incident, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Police found the six people – two children, two women and two men – dead on Thursday after one of the men’s co-workers called 911 to report he hadn’t shown up to work for two days.

Authorities initially said it was possible one person killed the other five before taking his or her own life. But the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office on Friday ruled their deaths homicides, saying five were stabbed to death and the sixth died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Police have added extra patrols as a precaution, although Guglielmi on Friday repeated earlier police statements that they don’t believe the general public is in danger. There was no forced entry into the home and the house wasn’t ransacked.

“This appears certainly centered and targeted on that family, and what we’re trying to do is figure out why,”

News from across the state Gun-related domestic killings data incomplete

SPRINGFIELD – FBI data show Illinois has recorded 38 gun-related domestic violence homicides since 2006, but the number is likely higher because the data is incomplete.

Only the Chicago and Rockford police departments report firearm-related domestic violence homicides to the FBI. The Illinois State Police said the relationship of a homicide victim to the offender is considered supplementary data that is not required to be reported.

Twenty-six of the 38 homicide victims were either a wife or girlfriend of the offender. Thirty-three of the deaths hap-

Crime scene tape surrounds a home Friday in Chicago. Chicago police are investigating what led to the deaths of two children, two women and two men whose bodies were found Thursday with signs of trauma inside the home on the city’s Southwest Side. he said.

Officers are exploring the backgrounds of the six victims, including talking to other family members and friends, Guglielmi said.

Authorities haven’t released the identities of the victims, although the medical examiner’s office described them as a middle-aged man and woman, an older man and woman, and two boys.

They said the middle-aged woman was shot to death, while the older

woman and a middle-aged man suffered blunt trauma in addition to stab wounds. The boys were 10 and 12 years old.

Next-door neighbor Mayra Diego said Friday that the family members were quiet and peaceful people.

“That’s what we’re most sorry about,” Diego said. “Because we could have done something, or being so close I feel like maybe we would have noticed something.”

Federal and Illinois state laws prohibit those convicted of a domestic-violence charge from owning a firearm ever again.

Battas was released from the county jail Thursday on a $150,000 bond.

Teacher charged with using app to arrange sex with teen

TROY– A high school math teacher faces felony charges after police in southern Illinois said he used an anonymous social media app to arrange a sexual encounter with an eighth-grader.

Twenty-five-year-old Kevin Battas was charged Wednesday in Madison County with grooming and indecent solicitation of a child using the Internet.

Troy police said the Mount Vernon teacher was arrested before he could meet a 14-year-old whom he initially connected with by text messages using the Whisper app. The teen’s mother alerted police to the conversations.

Inspectors conduct flood damage assessments

KINCAID – Residents of a central Illinois community still are assessing damage inflicted by floodwaters from Sangamon River.

About 44 homes in the Christian County town of Kincaid were damaged by flooding in December, which was caused by heavy rains, Kincaid Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler told the State Journal-Register. At least 15 of those homes are still unoccupied because of damage, and some of the people who have moved back in are continuing to make repairs to their homes.

“They are living in them and fixing them up day-by-day when they have time,” Wheeler said. “A lot had water in the basement and things like that. The other houses were completely gutted.”

A relative said six people lived in the home – a couple, their son, their daughter and the daughter’s two children.

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

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. Emmanuel Hernandez chimed in: “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, worried a friend could be among the victims.

Piano likely heard by Lincoln to play again

SPRINGFIELD – The music score, displayed on an incongruous iPad, sits above the ivory keyboard of a piano that Abraham Lincoln likely heard.

Jane Hartman Irwin, an accomplished pianist who’s performed with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Tennessee Ernie Ford, rises after a run-through of “Ben Bolt,” said to be one of Lincoln’s favorites while he was a lawyer.

Until last month, the 180-year-old piano that’s believed to have been in the Springfield parlor where Lincoln courted and later married Mary Todd hadn’t been heard for decades. Persuaded enough by the Lincoln link, the Springfield Art Association raised $17,000 to restore it. It will debut Saturday night at the association’s Edwards Place – the city’s oldest home that was a haunt of the future 16th president.

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks to media Wednesday in Weare, N.H. Cruz has mapped out a path to the White House that all but ignores the explosion of minority voters in America.

Cruz’s strategy focuses on turning out white voters

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Ted Cruz has mapped out a path to the White House that all but ignores the explosion of minority voters in America.

The Texas senator’s general election strategy depends almost wholly upon maximizing turnout among millions of conservative white voters – mostly evangelical Christians and the white working class – who didn’t participate in the last presidential contest.

At the same time, Cruz’s team is banking on a sharp decline in black and Hispanic support for the 2016 Democratic nominee, whoever it is, returning to voter trends before Barack Obama shook up the electorate as the nation’s first black president and won an overwhelming share of support from nonwhite voters.

It is a strategy that defies the conventional wisdom in the GOP that says the party can win the White House again only if it appeals to political moderates and nonwhite voters who are becoming a greater share of the voting-age population as each day passes.

“I’m an outlier,” said longtime Cruz aide Jason Johnson, the chief architect of the Cruz playbook, which he concedes is not in line with modern-day Republican thinking.

Yet with overwhelming confidence born from a year of studying voter trends, Johnson insists the first-term Texas senator can win

the general election by motivating a coalition of his party’s most reliable supporters.

“It is absolutely the case that in 2012, there were a little over 2 million fewer white non-Hispanics that voted compared to 2008,” Johnson said this week in an interview with The Associated Press. “They sat it out.”

The strategy will not be tested unless Cruz survives the long road ahead in his party’s hotly contested nomination process to represent the GOP in November’s general election.

Still, general election viability has emerged as a major theme in the days leading up to New Hampshire’s Tuesday primary among the leading Republican candidates.

Many Washington Republicans warn that Cruz is simply too conservative to appeal to the wide swath of voters that typically decide general elections.

“They are just wrong about this,” said Republican operative Matthew Dowd, who served as the chief political strategist for George W. Bush. “It is about both motivation and persuasion. You can’t motivate your base and at same time turn off moderates and independents.”

But Cruz this week repeatedly declared that his team assembled a coalition in Iowa that would translate into general election success.

“We saw conservatives and evangelicals and libertarians and Reagan Democrats all coming together,” he said during a town hall-style meeting at a Portsmouth Toyota dealership.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Candidates forums help inform voters The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To the McHenry County League of Women Voters, which has sponsored candidate forums at McHenry County College over the past two weeks. These forums allow voters to see candidates for state and county offices in person.

We appreciate the league’s dedication to helping create a more engaged and informed voter base.

Thumbs up: To Forever Husky of Crystal Lake and Happy Tails Animal Sanctuary of Bull Valley for joining forces to continue to provide care for animals in need. Happy Tails was in need of funding to continue its mission to help animals with health problems or that have been saved from abuse situations to find homes. By merging, Forever Husky will be able to enhance Happy Tails’ fundraising efforts while using the sanctuary’s space for more adoptions. This is a sensible solution that hopefully will benefit both nonprofits and the animals they serve, and we wish them luck in their future fundraising endeavors.

Thumbs down: To Democrats in Springfield already conceding pension reform likely will not be passed this year because of the upcoming elections, among other factors. Illinois’ worst-inthe-country pension crisis features at least $111 billion in unfunded pension liability. “With the union opposition and without 100 percent of Republicans on board, it’s going to be difficult,” said Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago. “Just like everything else this year, people want to John know what the big picture is.” This Cullerton is nothing more than status quo politics in Springfield. Cullerton and Gov. Bruce Rauner have struck a deal on pension reform. Get the language drafted, and start the process on passing legislation.

Thumbs up: To the restoration of a historic building at 1112 N. Front St. in McHenry. The interior of the building has been painted with Route 66-themed murals by local artist Paul Meyer. A little nostalgia and some nice visuals on Front Street are welcome.

Thumbs up: To all of the area athletes who were awarded for their work with college athletic scholarships, as the signing period for football and soccer players began Wednesday.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Modest energy bill better than no bill It seems every elected official in Washington has found a different shortcoming in the energy bill now before the Senate, which would be the first overhaul of U.S. energy policy since 2007.

There’s a term for this kind of imperfection: legislation.

In fairness, members of Congress may have forgotten what actual legislating feels like, there’s been so little of it in recent years, and this bill is hardly the kind of comprehensive reform U.S. energy policy needs. It’s a start, however, and Democrats (in the Senate) and Republicans (in the House) need to get on with it.

The bill, which has bipartisan support on the Senate energy committee, would speed the review of natural gas export terminals; make it easier to build hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass power projects; better protect the electricity grid against hackers; permanently

authorize a conservation fund; boost funding for energy research; and increase efficiency standards for federal buildings.

Could it have done more? Of course. The U.S. needs to reduce the amount of ethanol that’s added to the nation’s gasoline supply, for example, and lower subsidies for both renewable and fossil fuels so they compete on something closer to a level playing field. And an energy bill would be a logical place to include the most effective energy policy of all: a carbon tax.

Somewhere in the infinity of possible alternate universes, there’s a U.S. Congress interested in pursuing this ideal energy bill.

This is not that universe. Instead, Senate Democrats blocked a vote on the bill Thursday, on the grounds it did nothing to help residents of Flint, Michigan, get clean water. House Republicans, meanwhile, are focused on including something, anything

(the latest is a plan to hamstring the Department of Energy), that would ensure a presidential veto.

There is a difference between honest disagreements over what to include in a bill and blatant attempts to make legislation unpalatable to the other side.

Senate Democrats should be willing to use another vehicle to provide (much-needed) assistance to Flint. House Republicans need to realize that passing basic energy legislation they essentially agree with is superior to passing nothing at all. President Barack Obama, whose advisers have noted the virtues and flaws of the Senate bill, should likewise remember the value of half a loaf.

There is little doubt the U.S. needs to change the way it produces and consumes energy, and that those changes will be difficult. This bill doesn’t quite address those challenges, but at least it doesn’t make them worse.

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.

Time to end political dynasties

To the Editor: I am just a mom with a wonderful husband and three beautiful kids who is sick and tired of the nepotism and patronage that is practiced in McHenry County.

We need to remove those who have used their offices to benefit themselves and not improve our communities.

There are no Democrats or Republicans in McHenry County. There is only the political class.

It simply isn’t right to elect someone to a position because their grandfather had the job, then their father had the job, and now because of their last name, it is their birthright to have the job. For too long, we’ve elected people because of their “good family name” and not looking at the body of their work or the content of their character.

Your family’s last name entitles you to nothing.

Let us judge people on the content of their character and not what their grandfather did.

We can do something about this. I challenge all of you to look into the

VIEWS Margaret Carlson road), ready to race toward Rubio as its personal savior if he can extend his Iowa showing into the New Hampshire primary next week. Rubio had little establishment competition in Iowa. He’ll have more in New Hampshire with two governors, one of whom – Ohio’s John Kasich – has a lot of support in his state and, as of Sunday, the endorsement of the New York Times at his back.

By contrast, Trump’s RPMs were way down as he conceded to Cruz, whispering his name once in one of the shortest speeches he’s ever given.

He recalled how he was warned by everyone not to go to Iowa, he couldn’t win. He didn’t, but never mind. A candidate who spends the first 20 minutes of every rally recounting how far ahead he is in the polls, he blithely skipped over the one that counted to the ones that don’t.

‘Regular Joe’ for recorder

To the Editor: I am writing to you in regards to Joe Tirio running for McHenry County recorder.

I am a single mom of one child and do the best that I can to make ends meet.

Most of us have had to tighten the belt financially; why shouldn’t our county government?

Joe has an excellent work ethic, understands finance and believes we need more “regular Joes” running for office.

We do not need any more lifers (career politicians) or people who will hire their wife, husband, son or daughter. Joe specifically told all of us, “I won’t hire my wife.”

ahead of his loser rivals. He acted like the nominee: “Clinton, Bernie, whoever the hell else they throw up there, I’ll beat them.” In declaring his undying love for Iowa, he threatened to buy a farm there, missing the metaphorical implications. With that, he was off to a state he’s winning, a victor in his own mind.

Trump lost altitude in the past few days, putting a lie to the almost universal opinion that skipping the last debate was a brilliant move that saved him from incoming fire and exposed his challengers to withering questions from the mighty Megyn Kelly. Instead, it exposed his thin skin and the emotional instability of a crybaby who takes his ball and goes home because he didn’t get his way.

Then a funny thing happened.

When the alpha male didn’t show up in the cafeteria, the others no longer feared their lunch money would be stolen, or that they’d be called some name that would stick with them for the rest of the campaign, if not the rest of their lives. (Will Bush ever be thought of as “high-energy”?) As a result, everyone got the chance to express their inner policy wonk with the added benefit of professing their love for Jesus, a declaration not lost on the evangelicals

who’d seen Trump carry a Bible to the podium but unable to quote from it.

Two Corinthians, anyone?

Of course, give Trump time to start in on Rubio. Before next week’s primary, Rubio will be lower-energy than Bush and of suspect citizenship.

There wasn’t the revolution on the Democratic side Sen. Bernie Sanders had hoped for. Still, he rightly declared himself in a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton, a comeback kid of sorts given that he started at zero. For her part, Clinton couldn’t resist acting like the presumptive nominee by declaring victory early in the night, before anyone could possibly know.

With the country being disrupted in so many ways – how it hails a cab, goes to school, reads a newspaper, drives a car, makes a phone call, watches TV – it’s high time our broken politics be disrupted. Here’s a 74-year-old socialist nearly defeating the Clinton juggernaut. Over there, the Man Least Respected in the Senate, with algorithms, organization and religion on his sleeve, comes from behind to upset Trump. China was broken in Iowa. On to New Hampshire.

That this is a year when everything is up for grabs was confirmed Monday night in Iowa, with two almost equally unacceptable outsiders – Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump – running No. 1 and No. 2 in Iowa’s Republican caucuses.

The party establishment would take their own lives if one of them actually wins the nomination.

The surprise of the night was how well Sen. Marco Rubio did – so well he gave a speech thanking his lord and savior Jesus Christ as if he’d won the whole thing.

Maybe he has. Before Monday night, he was in no man’s land, neither fish nor fowl, establishment or insurgent. His party had dismissed him as an Obama clone, an inexperienced first-term senator, his hair not gray enough, his boots too high, leaping in before his time. That’s been a public and particular affront to his mentor Jeb Bush. You couldn’t find their differences with a microscope.

Having jumped the line, Rubio hadn’t looked strong enough to challenge the unacceptable front-runners.

Now he does. That sound you hear this morning is the Republican Party revving its motors in the establishment lane (or on the shoulder of the

Hotels add options to keep guests healthy

By KELLI KENNEDY

The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Running concierges, a hotel mini bar stocked with produce from the local farmers market and a training wall that comes standard in every room. The hotel industry is moving beyond basement gyms and basic spa menus to accommodate guests’ growing requests to stay healthy while on the road.

The trend has been a mainstay at spas and wellness resorts for years, but now hotels frequented by business travelers and families are showing that life on the go doesn’t have to mean sacrificing spin class or a quinoa superfood bowl.

Boutique and luxury hotels along with big name brands, including Westin and Wyndham, have vastly expanded fitness programs and dining options in recent years. The luxury gym Equinox is even opening its own hotel in New York.

The number of hotels with fitness facilities jumped from 63 percent in 2004 to 84 percent in 2014, according to a study by

the American Hotel & Lodging Association. And hotels offering in-room exercise equipment has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, from seven to 13 percent, according to the study.

“It’s what the marketplace is demanding,” said Dena Roche, wellness travel expert and editor of The Travel Diet website. “People are trying to lead a healthier lifestyle in their daily life, so when they go on the road they want to keep doing those things.”

At the Even Hotels, every room has a training zone with a yoga mat, exercise ball, foam roller and a mounted fitness wall with resistance bands plus 19 videos and training guides to help you get your sweat on.

Wyndham guests can request a room stocked with an exercise machine (like a stationary bike, elliptical machine or treadmill) and free workout wear.

The W hotel chain partnered with popular yogi Tara Stiles for free in-room yoga videos and a set of tip cards placed around the room to sug-

gest poses to help you relax, wake up or get in the mood.

“It’s pushing from a trend to a tipping point where there’s mass adoption around wellness into every aspect of people’s lives,” Jason Moskal, a vice president at Intercontinental Hotels Group, which owns the Even brand.

Rooftop yoga classes are all the rage at hotels across the country including The James Hotel in New York and the Mondrian South Beach.

Guests at The Standard in Miami Beach can also enjoy waterfront yoga or stand-up paddle board classes and grab a green drink from the hotel’s juice bar.

Forgot to pack your workout clothes? No problem.

Trump Hotels and Fairmont have partnered with Under Armour and Reebok respectively to style your workout.

Westin’s lending program with New Balance had a 16 percent increase in requests in 2015.

Several hotel chains also are targeting the tech-minded fitness buffs. Trump SoHo has a new program that gives

guests a free Fitbit Charge to help track whether they meet their daily step goal.

The Epiphany Hotel in Palo Alto, California, offers guests a fridge stocked with produce from a local farmers market, green juices and homemade power bars for $95.

Kimpton hotels overhauled room-service menus, substituting quinoa and oats for white flour.

Westin developed a SuperFoodsRx menu and Trump Hotels also has express menus for health-minded guests where dishes like stir-fried veggies and tofu can be delivered to your room in 15 minutes or less.

“This is definitely a lifestyle choice that is here to stay,” said Ivanka Trump, an executive vice president of The Trump Organization.

“Rather than allowing travel to be an impediment to maintaining one’s nutrition and fitness goals, we want to help our guests succeed and achieve in maintaining their commitment to a healthy and balanced lifestyle while on the road.”

NEW YORK – The Chicago Stock Exchange, founded more than a century ago, said it has agreed to be acquired by a Chinese-led investor group.

The buyers are considering opening a stock exchange in southwest China and also hope to list Chinese stocks in the U.S., Chicago Stock Exchange CEO John Kerin said in an interview Friday. The exchange needs the cash from the buyout to launch its new trading products and platforms, Kerin said.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Kerin will continue as CEO after the deal closes.

Leading the investor group is Chongqing Casin Enterprise Group, a holding company based in Chongqing, China. Efforts to reach Chongqing Casin Enterprise Group were unsuccessful.

The Chicago Stock Exchange was founded in 1882, about 90 years after the New York Stock Exchange. It trades 8,300 stocks and exchange-traded funds that are

also traded on other exchanges, such as the NYSE. Companies don’t exclusively list stocks on the Chicago Stock Exchange as they do on the NYSE, Kerin said. But after the buyout is complete, the Chicago Stock Exchange has plans to allow small com-

panies that don’t meet NYSE requirements to list stocks on the exchange.

The exchange has been also working on an on-demand auction product that is expected to be released in the spring.

The buyers said they plan to keep the Chicago Stock Exchange’s business operations and trading platform in place. The exchange said the deal is expected to close in the second half of the year and needs to be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If the deal is approved, it may be the first time a U.S. stock exchange is owned by Chinese companies.

The World Federation of Exchanges said none of its U.S. members, which include the owners of the NYSE, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and others, have ever been owned

by Chinese interests. The Chicago Stock Exchange is not a member of the World Federation of Exchanges.

Super Bowl ads this year might be a snooze

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – No GoDaddy.

Not a bikini in sight. Service messages instead of crotch or fart jokes. As the Super Bowl turns 50 and faces middle age, will this be the year that advertisers stick to – gasp – good taste?

The Super Bowl remains advertising’s biggest stage, especially as the broadcast TV audience fragments further thanks to Netflix and other on-demand TV services.

Advertisers are spending as much as an estimated $5 million per 30 seconds to capture more than 114 million viewers expected to tune in. Debate over the game-day ads will start on social media before the game and carry over to work the next day, so it’s crucial to stand out, without going so far as to offend.

But this year, amplifying a trend seen the past few years, advertisers seem to be playing it extra safe. And that might mean a repeat of last year’s “Somber Bowl,” when viewers

were turned off by too-serious ads.

Distinguished British actress Helen Mirren will deliver a lecture about drunken driving and why it’s a terrible idea. Many others are going with anthemic or public service-style messages: Colgate Palmolive will urge viewers to “Save Water,” while outdoor brand Marmot urges people to spend more time outside and BMW showcases people who “Defy Labels.”

Slapstick, crass humor and sex seem to be relegated to the sidelines. Internet address provider GoDaddy, which for 11 years walked the line of bad taste with ads that showed skimpily clad women and an extremely long close up of a kiss, is sitting it out, citing the need for more targeted advertising.

“People want to be entertained. They don’t want somber messages or to be reminded of their problems,” said veteran ad man Richard Kirshenbaum, CEO of ad agency NSG/SWAT. “The Super Bowl is America’s great campfire.

People want to gather around and have a great time.”

Of course, light-hearted humor will be in abundance when the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos face off on CBS on Sunday. There are the requisite talking animals and celebrities galore.

Doritos’ ad shows dogs trying to check out at a grocery store, and Ryan Reynolds plays all of the residents in a town called “Ryanville” for Hyundai, for example.

And there are still several major advertisers, including Chrysler and Coca-Cola, whose super-secret ads could deliver big surprises.

Cinematic or serious ads can be Super bowl hits.

Chrysler has garnered kudos for years for its spots about American engineering and its cars featuring stars like Eminem and Clint Eastwood. Attaching your brand to a social cause can be a way to engender goodwill.

But advertisers can’t afford another crop of ads like last year. Those ads struck viewers as depressing, most nota-

bly a dark PSA from insurer Nationwide.

It featured a child’s death to highlight the risks of preventable household accidents.

(Nationwide is not returning this year.)

“The Nationwide ad sucked the oxygen out of the room at every Super Bowl Party in America,” said Peter Daboll, CEO of AceMetrix, which measures the advertising effectiveness.

Squarespace is one advertiser that is sticking to comedy, enlisting comedy duo Key & Peele to promote its website services.

Last year’s ad starred Jeff Bridges meditating in a couple’s bedroom that was deemed by some as too esoteric.

“One of the things we really wanted to make sure we were doing is being entertaining,” said Squarespace founder and CEO Anthony Casalena. “At the end of day watching Super Bowl, it’s a sporting event, you’re with friends. We wanted to make something that people had fun with.”

restling is in the blood for the Vermillion family, but the father-son seniority stops when the meet starts.

Ron Vermillion and his son Blake, both of Crystal Lake, officiate wrestling meets nearly every Thursday, Friday and Saturday during wrestling season, but only about eight to 10 times during the season are they assigned to officiate the same meet. Usually Ron is assigned as the head referee and Blake is the assistant, but sometimes it is the other way around.

They do not always agree on calls. Over the years, “We’ve had a difference of opinion,” Ron said, adding “there are always close calls.”

Ron wrestled for Dundee High School from 1973 to 1977 and

Blake wrestled for Crystal Lake Central from 1997 to 2000, placing fourth in the state tournament in 1999. Ron has been a wrestling official for the Illinois High School Association for about 25 years while Blake has been officiating for 15 years.

“We get to talk about wrestling a lot. Working together is a nice attribute,” Ron said. “This year we’ve worked more together than we have in the past.”

It’s too early to tell if Blake’s stepson will follow in their refereeing footsteps, but as a sixth grade wrestler at Lundahl Middle School, he’s on the right track.

“It’s a big part of our life. It’s always been a big part of our life,” Ron said about wrestling.

What to watch

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Center Cameron Krutwig scored most of Jacobs’ baskets and wanted none of the credit.

The 6-foot-9 junior left-hander dumped in 23 of his career-high 32 points in the second half, and the Golden Eagles needed all of them.

Krutwig scored all but five of Jacobs’ second-half points as they held off Crystal Lake South, 51-44, in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys basketball game Friday at the Eagles’ Nest.

“I didn’t really do anything spectacular. I didn’t make crazy post moves,” said Krutwig, who was 13 of 17 from the field. “These guys did their jobs, coming off screens, finding me with bounce passes, working angles. This is a credit to these guys, they’re so unselfish. They don’t care who scores, what happens, we’re going to get the job done any way possible.”

Again, it was not easy for Jacobs (184, 8-0 FVC Valley) as it clinched at least a share of the division title. Even with Krutwig scoring 18 consecutive points for the Eagles in the second and third quarters, the Gators (13-9, 6-2) hung close behind an array of driving baskets from guard Nick Geske and Tim Siesennop’s 3-point shooting. “[Geske] played phenomenal, he gave us a chance to win with his shotmaking ability,” Gators coach Matt LePage said.

“He was finding a way to keep us in the game.”

Siesennop gave South a 42-41 lead with a 3 at 5:45, his fourth of the game.

Jacobs scored twice, but the Gators came up with a steal and Luke Nolan hit a short jumper in the lane, but was called for an offensive foul.

Still, South came back on Geske’s driving basket to make it 45-44 before Krutwig converted his third three-point play of the second half. “[Krutwig] is a load. In big games like that, he’s even bigger,” LePage said.

“He just made plays. It’s that simple. It wasn’t for us not trying.”

On the other side, Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts marveled at Geske’s 18-point performance.

“Him and Cam were going back and fourth,” Roberts said. “Those are games for great players. The difference

We executed really, really well. I don’t remember many other guys shooting in the second half.”

Krutwig scored Jacobs’ last eight points of the first half, then opened with 10 in the second.

“When he gets going like that, your No. 1 goal is to get him the basketball,” said guard Kyle Ross, who had seven assists, most which went to Krutwig. “I thought we did that well by executing our offense.”

South desperately wanted the victory that would have forced a division tie with two remaining games.

“It was probably the greatest, most intense game I’ve ever played in,” said Siesennop, who hit three 3s in the first quarter. “I loved the way our guys fought. It was amazing. Credit to them, Krutwig had an unbelievable game.”

They did enough to beat us.”

After struggling from the foul line in the first three quarters, the Rockets clinched the game from the line, shooting 7 for 9 in the fourth, led by Blaine Bayer, who was 6 for 6.

“I knew we would shoot better in the second half,” R-B’s Jake Kaufman said. “We came out in the third quarter hot and just continued to run our offense and the shots began to fall.”

Bayer led R-B with 18 points, Marzahl scored 13 and Kaufman had 11.

Johnsburg (11-13, 4-5) had the lead most of the first half, but too many turnovers ended up costing the Skyhawks. Johnsburg was led by Joe Bein with 19 points.

“The two keys to this game were holding on to the ball and staying mentally tough, and we didn’t do either,” Johnsburg coach Mike Toussaint said.

Trojans’ patience rewarded in victory

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – Cary-Grove boys basketball coach Ralph Schuetzle wanted his players to score 15 points in the first quarter Friday night against Dundee-Crown.

But the Trojans, who ended up 11 points short of their coach’s mark, managed only four shots in the first and trailed by two after the Chargers slowed the pace on offense.

“We haven’t seen that this year,” C-G guard Zach Beaugureau said of D-C’s offense. “We were just trying to buckle down on defense and get a stop.

If they wanted to waste all the time, then we’ll just let them, I guess.”

The Chargers’ Sean Jay hit a jumper in the lane as time expired in the first to give D-C the early lead, but the Trojans stuck to their game plan and made a run to close the half on their way to a 49-37 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division win.

With Dundee-Crown slowing the pace of play in the first quarter, C-G shot only once in the opening four minutes. offense in the second half, shooting 10 of 19 (52.6 percent) and knocking down 8 of 10 free throws in the second and third quarters, while D-C turned the

ball over seven times in the fourth.

“Our press came up with some big turnovers in the fourth,” Schuetzle said. “We had some good rotations from our back row, and some really good anticipation. I was nervous with the pace of the game in the first quarter. It was pretty slow, but they (D-C) play like that. They like keeping the score low. I thought we stayed patient.”

The Trojans’ patience was rewarded.

After a conventional three-point play by Quinn Celske with 2:39 left in the second quarter, Danny Clarke (seven points) and Danny Schmidt each made 3-pointers for C-G (6-16 overall, 3-5 FVC Valley), which ended the first half on an 11-2 run and led, 20-16, at the break.

“We just calmed down and kept running our stuff,” said Schmidt, who had 11 points with seven rebounds and a block. “Being able to stay focused on defense and settle down, don’t let the game get too quick for us on offense.”

“We were just trying to buckle down on defense and get a stop.

If they wanted to waste all the time, then we’ll just let them, I guess.”

Zach Beaugureau, Cary-Grove guard

The Chargers (1-19, 0-8 FVC Valley) retook the lead early in the third after junior guard Khiry Powell made three straight 3s to give D-C a 25-22 advantage. Beaugureau (game-high 12 points) answered with his third 3 of the game, and the Chargers took a 3231 lead into the fourth.

C-G got two baskets from Jimmy Clarke to start the quarter, and the Trojans hit 7 of 8 free throws in the quarter, with Adam Loch (eight points) hitting all four of his attempts at the line.

“I think they dictated the pace of play, but we have to play that way to give our team a chance,” Chargers coach Lance Huber said. “I don’t think we thought we had to play really slow or not, but we do have to be very careful with the basketball. We were there. We had some opportunities, but we missed some layups in the second quarter that you have to make if you want to win.”

Matt Wiechmann led the Chargers with 11 points and six rebounds.

“If we had one saving grace in the just 1 for 12 from 3, struggled from the first half, it was the fact that we shot foul line and yet we were down just five

Points for McHenry sophomore Gavin Markgraff

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

It was the second game back from injury for McHenry senior Nick Bellich, and despite scoring only four points, it was clear his teammates are happy to have him back.

“We’re psyched that Nick’s back,” Mulhall said.

“We think we can really get a run going into regionals. This is two (wins in a row), we want three. Hopefully, we get a good seed, and we’re on a roll right now.”

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – McHenry and Huntley have struggled recently to finish out close games, or “crossing the line” as Warriors boys basketball coach Tim Paddock said he’s been calling it.

McHenry almost tripped over the line again Friday night but held on for a second consecutive conference win.

McHenry kept Huntley at arm’s length for most of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game, but in the fourth quarter, the hosts made a run, sending the game to overtime.

The Warriors didn’t fall apart, however, doing enough in overtime to beat Huntley, 58-53.

“The old us, we would put our head down and felt bad for ourselves, but we picked it back up and we stayed in the game and we fought and we just finished it out,” McHenry’s Gavin Markgraff said.

Markgraff led all scorers with 25

points, including 11 in overtime, and solid free-throw shooting down the stretch.

“That’s not a bad sophomore performance there in a conference game,” Paddock said. “He’s a scorer. Some guys get to 10 (points), they kind of take their foot off the pedal. He just scores. That’s what’s in his mindset. He’s just been getting better and better and better.”

Huntley (7-17, 2-6 FVC Valley) hung around all night. The Red Raiders led at 2-0 and then again at 5-3, but from the midway point of the first quarter on, the hosts never led again. They never let it get too far away, however. Whenever McHenry stretched the lead to double digits, Huntley would reel it back to a couple of possessions.

“I liked our fight,” Huntley coach Will Benson said. “It’s unfortunate that we just haven’t been able to kick the door down lately with some of the close games that we’ve been in, with [CaryGrove] and Jacobs and tonight.”

After trailing by five at halftime and at the end of the third, Huntley made

COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING STATE MEET

Huntley makes history

Raiders advance for first time; CLC also moves on

By KEVIN MEYER

kmeyer@shawmedia.com The Huntley cheerleading team made history Friday night by advancing to Day 2 of the IHSA state meet for the first time.

The Red Raiders finished the preliminaries in sixth place with a score of 89.93 in the large division at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington. The top 10 teams in each division advanced to the finals. Crystal Lake Central was fifth in the medium division to join Huntley on Day 2.

“We are so excited. This was our goal to start with, so especially for our seniors this was it,” Huntley coach Renee Fowler said.

“Walking out on to that mat, we knew we could do it, and we wanted to leave a legacy behind, and with everything we’ve accomplished this year, I think we have.”

This was Huntley’s fourth time to advance to state and second straight appearance. Day 2 has always been the hurdle the Red Raiders couldn’t quite overcome.

“We hit our routine perfectly, so we were all pretty confident we’d have a good outcome, but we were thinking, even if we don’t make it through, this was a great per-

formance to end with,” Huntley senior Alex Shafer said.

The Red Raiders will look to move into the top five Saturday when they perform at 3 p.m. to close the season. Providence led the large division after Day 1 with a score of 93.53.

Crystal Lake Central advanced to Day 2 for the third consecutive season with a fifthplace score of 86.93 in the medium division.

The Tigers, who were fifth in the large division last year, have finished fifth in each of their past two trips to state.

“It’s definitely a great feeling,” Central coach Elizabeth Brauneis said. “That was our goal for today, and we’re excited to still be here and looking forward to show our hard work again tomorrow.”

The Tigers will perform at 11:35 a.m. Saturday. Lemont led Day 1 of the medium division with a 90.93.

“It’s been awesome to be a part of this team, and, honestly, it’s probably one of the best experiences I’ve had, and to do it almost all four years of high school is just amazing,” Tigers senior Courtney Lesser said.

Defending medium division champion Hampshire finished 23rd on Day 1 with a score of 78.23, and Prairie Ridge ended up 18th with an 82.

McHenry was the last local team to compete and finished 24th in the large division with a 79.9.

a charge late in the fourth, led by Kyle Nwogu, whose steal and three-point play with 33 seconds left tied the score at 42.

Huntley got a clean look for Alec Coss in the corner with five seconds left, but his 3 rattled off the rim and the game went to overtime.

The Warriors (10-14, 5-3) led throughout overtime, and a late steal by James Mulhall helped seal the victory.

“We have five guys out there who are ready to play all the time. Our coach stresses making plays, being productive,” Mulhall said. “I’m not going to go out and score 25 like Gavin, but I’m going in to make defensive plays and I’m glad I could do that for my team today.”

Nwogu led Huntley with 21 points – 13 in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“I thought as a team we just brought a lot of effort and hustle out there,” Nwogu said of the comeback. “I thought we were crashing the glass pretty hard offensively and defensively. I think it just [stinks] when you fall short like that when you fight so hard.”

BLACKHAWKS

Defenseman’s power-play role has changed

Challenging new issue for NHL

Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith plays against the Predators on Jan. 19 in Nashville, Tenn. Keith has a new role this season on the power play. freewheel a little bit. I’m kind of all over the place.”

A perfect example of Keith’s new role came last month in Toronto. With Seabrook holding the puck in the middle of the blue line, Keith wandered into the slot to create a 1-3-1 look for the power play. Seabrook fed Panarin for a one-timer on the left side. Leafs goaltender James Reimer made the stop, and Anisimov chased the loose puck behind the net, with Keith following him for support. Anisimov quickly passed to Kane, who fired a cross-ice pass for another Panarin one-timer, while Keith smartly assumed Anisimov’s usual spot, expertly screening Reimer as he backtracked. Keith then pounced on the rebound, swatting a brilliant pass to Kane for an easy back-door tap-in.

In nine seconds, Keith moved into the slot, behind the net and back in front of the net – three places you usually don’t find a defenseman – to create a goal.

“He’s really good at it,” Kane said.

“He has the capability to find the loose pucks in areas and get them back to open space, where we can maybe set up a play or get a shot. And you’ve seen him score a few goals in the middle there,

too. For a first-timer, it’s pretty impressive the way he’s handled that position.

He’s been great.”

Keith has three power-play goals and seven power-play assists since he assumed his new role, and despite a recent funk – the Hawks are 0 for 11 on the power play in their past three games, dropping to seventh in the league at 20.6 percent – the combination of Keith’s new role, the lethal Panarin-Anisimov-Kane line, and Seabrook taking Patrick Sharp’s old spot on the point has turned the power play from a weakness to a strength.

For some players, getting taken out of your comfort zone after 10 years in the same spot could be tough. But Keith has embraced the challenge and his newfound offensive freedom.

“I ended up scoring my first game in that position,” he said. “It gives you a lot of options, so I like it. I can skate around and try to use my quickness and get on pucks. It’s fun to try to keep plays alive and pressure guys when you know they’re trying to clear it. It’s fun to make them panic a little bit. It’s something different, something new, and so far, it seems to be working.”

DALLAS – Duncan Keith’s dad wanted him to be a forward, and why not?

Keith was always one of the fastest guys on the ice, and he has always had good offensive instincts. As a 15-yearold winger for the Penticton Predators in British Columbia, his last season of midget hockey and his last season as a forward, he posted 51 goals and 57 assists in just 44 games.

Now, 11 seasons into an NHL career in which Keith has established himself as one of the top defensemen in the game, his dad is getting his wish. Sort of.

Since returning from knee surgery in mid-November, Keith has taken on a new role on the power play. After more than a decade on the point, Keith is now something of a roving freelancer. Essentially, he’s a fourth forward, only with free rein.

With Brent Seabrook manning the blue line, Patrick Kane on the half-wall, Artemi Panarin on the one-timer side, and Artem Anisimov in front of the net, Keith basically has carte blanche to do whatever he wants. On any given power play, Keith can be spotted manning the point, or cycling in the corners and behind the net, or crashing the crease, or setting up as a trigger-man in the slot.

The slot has been his primary spot, where his forward’s instincts, deft hands and quick thinking have helped make the Hawks’ top power-play unit one of the best in the league.

“It’s kind of a new challenge,” Keith said. “I’ve never done that position before, so I was actually excited to try it out. It’s a position where I have the ability to roam around and support and

GLENDALE, Ariz. – In theory, the idea of adding coaches’ challenges to the NHL was a good one. In practice, however, it hasn’t been so cut and dried, much like the calls that are being challenged.

Entering the All-Star break last week, there had been 150 challenges, with only 38 overturned. Ninety-two of the challenges were for goaltender interference, and only 16 were overturned. The problem is twofold: First, the challenges are often taking far too long, disrupting the flow of the game. But more importantly, because the referees at the arena handle the reviews on iPads, goaltender interference is still open to interpretation by each officiating crew, and the rulings have been maddeningly inconsistent.

Rather than send reviews back to a centralized location in New York or Toronto, the decision is still in the referees’ hands. And based on many surprising calls – including the overturning of Marian Hossa’s apparent first-period goal Thursday in Arizona – that’s problematic.

“I thought that was [a] joke,” Hossa said.

“I tried to battle in front of the net and I don’t have any intention to touch the goalie, just try to battle through two guys and put the puck in the net. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the playoffs, if there’s going to be calls after calls after calls. But I don’t think it’s good for the league.”

Jonathan Toews, whose second goal of the game gave the Hawks a 5-4 overtime victory, was more diplomatic, admitting the Hawks were “a little bit biased” in this particular case. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville – who flew into a rage when the goal was disallowed – was far more calm and rational after the game. Winning surely helped him get over it.

When asked whether the league should centralize challenges so the same people are interpreting the rule every time, Quenneville shrugged.

“Maybe with time,” he said. “The first year was a big first step. You have a lot of opinions at the end of it all to sort things out. Whatever’s best for the game, and getting it right, is the whole idea.”

42 NUGGETS 115, BULLS 110

Butler hurt; Bulls blow lead in Denver X-rays negative on sprained left knee

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com DENVER – Breathe.

No easy exercise for the Bulls organization for about 20 minutes Friday night, and it had little to do with the high altitude of Denver, either.

With 1:06 left in the first half in the eventual 115-110 loss to the Nuggets, two-time All-Star Jimmy Butler took to the air as he neared the rim, was fouled by Joffrey Lauvergne, and landed awkwardly on the hardwood of the Pepsi Center.

The gathering around Butler quickly turned serious when trainers signaled for a cart to wheel the shooting guard off with.

After sitting briefly, however, Butler wanted to shoot the two free throws in case he could return.

He got his wish, splitting the two, but as far as a return, it didn’t happen. Fortunately for Butler and the Bulls, X-rays were negative and it was ruled a left knee sprain.

Coincidentally, it was the same left knee that forced Butler to miss the game in Sacramento after he first injured the knee late in the Utah loss Monday.

So what did that mean for the Bulls on Friday? Well, Pau Gasol was out of the game with an injured left hand, while Mike Dunleavy (back) was still at least a game away from making his season debut. And then suddenly no Butler.

In other words, they had Denver right where they wanted them … until the final few minutes.

After building an 18-point lead, the Bulls were outscored 42-21 in the fourth quarter, even with Derrick Rose scoring a team-high 30 points.

Which meant more disappointment for first-year coach Fred Hoiberg. Hoiberg continued to open up about the difficulties with this team, specifically an unwillingness to consistently do what’s asked of it.

Hoiberg was asked if he was surprised his players haven’t grasped the philosophies being preached and responded, “Yeah, I mean it’s something where when we do it right it works. And we show them clips on that every day. We show clips of when we don’t do it, it’s ineffective. We talk about when the ball swings we’re a much more effective basketball team than when it sticks on one side.

Bulls guard Jimmy Butler waves to fans as he is taken off the court after being injured late in the first half against the Nuggets on Friday in Denver.

“It’s continuing to reiterate those things and talk to the team about how much more success we have when we do it right. It seems like when we hit a rough stretch that’s when we go back to holding the ball and trying to play isolation basketball, where we’re not nearly as effective. And there’s a time and place for it. Obviously, if we get a guy going, fourth quarter when things slow down a little bit, you know you get the ball in the guy’s hands that has the mismatch, but for the most part when we flow and get it up the floor in the right amount of times we’re much more effective.”

Staying healthy might help that process, especially in keeping a consistent rotation, but Hoiberg wasn’t going to use that as an excuse.

“It is what it is,” Hoiberg said of the injuries. “Everybody in this league goes through it. What it does, it’s helped I think our depth when we do get everybody back with the exception of Jo (Noah) this year.

Guys will have valuable playing experience.”

The return: Mike Dunleavy’s long-awaited season debut likely will take place Saturday night in Minnesota, as he has been sidelined since the start of training camp after back surgery.

Although the veteran forward wasn’t sure what type of minutes restriction he was going to be dealing with or what he could give the team, his hope was that he could at least help be a factor in more wins.

“I mean, look, I’m gonna do things that hopefully contribute to winning, things I’ve done my whole career,” Dunleavy said.

“What that is, it’s hard to pinpoint, but just go out and do those things, play the game the right way, the way I know how to play it, and hopefully that ends up helping the team win games.”

CUBS

Arrieta agrees to deal

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Cubs ace Jake Arrieta has agreed to a $10.7 million, one-year contract, avoiding arbitration with the highest one-year deal for a pitcher with four years of major league service.

A person familiar with the negotiations disclosed the agreement Friday night. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the contract had not been announced by the team.

Arrieta, who turns 30 in March, had a breakout season last year, helping the Cubs to an NL wild card. The NL Cy Young Award winner finished with a 22-6 record and a 1.77 ERA, easily cruising past most of his previous career highs.

He was rewarded with a $7.07 million raise.

The settlement was $450,000 above the midpoint of the arbitration numbers exchanged by the sides Jan. 15. Arrieta asked for $13 million and the team had offered

$7.5 million.

Arrieta and the Cubs had the largest gap among players who swapped figures with their clubs Jan. 15, but president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said last month he was confident the sides would reach an agreement before a hearing.

“I think, you know, in this case, if you focus on the spread, you’re kind of missing the story, which is that I think it provides a lot of room for further discussion,” he said at the team’s winter convention.

The Cubs’ July 2013 trade for Arrieta was a key moment in their move from the bottom of the NL Central to 97 wins last season and a spot in the NL Championship Series, where they were swept by the New York Mets.

The Cubs traded pitcher Scott Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger to Baltimore for Arrieta and reliever Pedro Strop. Arrieta went 10-5 with a 2.53 ERA in his first full season with the Cubs, and then was dominant for much of last year.

VIEWS Hub Arkush

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell speaks during a news conference Friday in San Francisco.

He addressed a variety of topics ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif. with the Pats or Brady – was back on his game and dismissive as ever of anyone who suggested his league might have some issues.

The hot-button topics Goodell either chose or was asked to address included franchise relocation, concussions, on-field discipline, NFL games on foreign soil, diversity in the league and 32 team front offices. Not to mention Deflategate, HGH allegations against Peyton Manning, legalization of marijuana, fantasy games, player safety and, of course, his oversight of the players’ personal conduct policy.

Goodell handled the L.A. story by taking pride in the relocation of the Rams, even more pride that the Char-

gers and Raiders are allegedly focused on getting new homes and staying in San Diego and Oakland, and a commitment to working with Missouri governor Jay Nixon on building a new stadium in St. Louis and then possibly getting a new franchise.

The commissioner confirmed that for the first time since 2005 there would be a regular-season game in Mexico City (Nov. 21 between the Texans and Raiders) in addition to the three games that will be played next season in London.

On the topic of a franchise based in London or Europe, he called it a “realistic possibility down the road.”

CLEVELAND BROWNS

Manziel’s father worried QB is self-destructing

By TOM WITHERS

The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – With Johnny Manziel’s professional career in doubt and his personal life crumbling, his father fears for his safety.

The troubled quarterback was under investigation by two police departments after allegations he hit his former girlfriend last weekend in Texas.

Manziel was dropped by his agent Friday and will be released by the Cleveland Browns next month after two tumultuous seasons.

“I truly believe if they can’t get him help, he won’t live to see his 24th birth-

day,” Paul Manziel told The Dallas Morning News.

Manziel’s father said the family has made two unsuccessful attempts in the past week to get the player into a rehab clinic.

Manziel agreed to go to the Enterhealth Ranch addiction facility in Van Alstyne, Texas, but he would not stay, Paul Manziel told the Morning News.

He tried to have his son admitted Tuesday to Carrollton Springs Hospital, but Manziel was allowed to leave. Paul Manziel said he told a Denton County Sheriff officer he believed his son to be suicidal.

Paul Manziel did not immediately

return a phone message left by The Associated Press.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, who entered the NFL with a party-boy reputation, spent 73 days last winter in a Pennsylvania treatment center specializing in care for alcohol and drug dependency.

The disturbing portrait of Manziel comes as his agent dropped the 23-yearold quarterback as a client. Erik Burkhardt said that with “deep regret” he has ended the business relationship. He added that he made his decision after “several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, his doctors, and my client himself.”

“Though I will remain a friend and Johnny supporter, and he knows I have worked tirelessly to arrange a number of professional options for him to continue to pursue, it has become painfully obvious that his future rests solely in his own hands,” the agent said in a statement.

“His family and I have gone to great lengths to outline the steps we feel he must take to get his life in order. Accountability is the foundation of any relationship, and without it the function of my work is counterproductive. I truly wish the best for Johnny and sincerely hope he can, and will, find the kind of peace and happiness he deserves.”

SAN FRANCISCO – As the story goes, the tradition of the commissioner’s annual “State of the League” address/news conference began at Super Bowl I with Pete Rozelle inviting the 50 or so print journalists covering the game up to his hotel suite to chat.

Fifty years later it is still the Friday before the game at 11:30 a.m. local time, but it has become a gathering of a crowd of 2,000 or so, including media, team owners and staff, league officials and friends of the league – read sponsors and big-dollar advertisers – at which much is discussed and almost nothing is ever said.

Friday was no different.

The change this year was that a year ago commissioner Roger Goodell showed up very much on the ropes after botching the handling of situations involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy, and we now know falsely accusing Tom Brady and the Patriots of intentionally playing with doctored footballs and preparing to begin a biased investigation aimed at punishing them.

His ever-present, rock-solid confidence was clearly shaken.

This year, the old Roger – buoyed by his long-sought success in returning an NFL franchise to Los Angeles, a wonderful playoff tournament that was decided by the players and not the officials and the Patriots’ loss to Denver, which eliminated any chance of the commissioner having to go 1-on-1

of the Bengals and Vontaze Burfict, Goodell said he has asked the Competition Committee to consider a new rule that would call for “automatic ejection after a second personal foul call in a game on any player.”

Goodell does not have the authority to institute the rule himself.

The commish said he believes the game is getting safer already because of rules changes the league has put in place and research on additional changes, and he said if he had a young son today he would absolutely encourage him to play football.

“There is risk in life, there are risks sitting on the couch,” he said.

But he believes the benefits of discipline, teamwork and learning how to get up when you get knocked down that youths can learn from the game make it well worth the risk.

Goodell explained changing the league’s rules on the use of marijuana are up to their medical professionals and they’re not recommending any changes at this time, and that he expects fantasy football to continue to be a positive part of the game, but it is up to the legal authorities right now, not the NFL. Relative to changes in how the oversight of the players’ personal conduct policy is conducted and how punishment is determined is something he’s open to discussing and negotiating in private with the NFL Players Association, but he says it’s not something he will discuss in public.

MEEK MILL SENTENCED FOR PAROLE VIOLATION

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2016

PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia judge is giving Robert Williams at least three months to earn back his status as rapper Meek Mill.

Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley on Friday ordered Mill to serve 90 days on house arrest, effective March 1, for violating the terms of his parole in a 2009 drug and gun case.

Mill was found in violation of his parole in December.

He blamed his erratic concert schedule, but Philadelphia prosecutors linked the problem to his romance with Nicki Minaj, who sat in the front row for Friday’s hearing.

BUZZWORTHY

Puddle of Mudd singer pleads Rihanna to perform not guilty in vandalism case at Grammy Awards

Invision

Neil, Kimberly and Reid Perry of The Band Perry perform Thursday at The City Stage in Super Bowl City in San Francisco.

Band Perry not a good luck charm for Denver Broncos SAN FRANCISCO – Returning to perform ahead of the Super Bowl is good and (sort of) bad for country trio The Band Perry, who last performed around the 2014 game.

The good: The group gets a chance to play its hits in front of feverish concertgoers and gain new fans. The bad: They’re not-so-great good luck charms for the Denver Broncos.

“There must be some connection we have with the Broncos, like we always are in the same vicinity as them,” said Neil Perry, sitting next to his siblings, Kimberly and Reid.

“We weren’t the good luck charm last time, so maybe we’ll bring them a little bit more good luck this year,” Kimberly Perry added in an optimistic tone.

The Band Perry performed in East Rutherford, New Jersey, when the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Broncos 43-8. They’re back for Sunday’s big game when the Broncos will take on the Carolina Panthers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

“We’re like massive football fans,” said Reid Perry, adding that he’s more into college football. “I’m the type where I’ll like record football games and rewatch them.”

The band, whose No. 1 country hits include “If I Die Young,” “All Your Life” and “Better Dig Two,” performed Thursday night in San Francisco at Levi’s The City Stage, where OneRepublic and Alicia Keys will perform Friday and Saturday, respectively.

LOS ANGELES – Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin has pleaded not guilty to a felony vandalism charge filed after his arrest at a home he recently lost in foreclosure.

Los Angeles District Attorney spokesman Greg Risling said Scantlin entered the plea Friday.

The 43-year-old singer was arrested Jan. 9 by Los Angeles police and is accused of causing about $7,000 in damage to the home. He also was charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

He was charged Wednesday, but missed his arraignment.

Scantlin is suspected of damaging the home’s plumbing, a garage door and ripping an alarm system out of the wall.

If convicted, he faces up to three years in jail.

Solange Knowles loses her wedding ring in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS – Solange Knowles lost her wedding ring while riding in a New Orleans parade as an honorary member of the Krewe of Muses.

Staci Rosenberg is captain of the all-female group. She said in an email that the singer-songwriter and younger sister to Beyonce lost the ring Thursday night along St. Charles Avenue.

The group said a reward is being offered but hasn’t given any details on it.

LOS ANGELES – Rihanna is joining the list of performers at the Grammy Awards later this month. The soul diva is just out with a new single, “Work,” which features the rapper Drake. CBS confirmed the booking Friday. The awards show airs Feb. 15 with LL Cool J as host for the fifth straight year.

Gordon-Levitt gets some roast with his Hasty Pudding

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Joseph Gordon-Levitt got a little roast along with his pudding. In keeping with tradition, “The Walk” actor was feted and roasted Friday as Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals Man of the Year.

The collegiate theatrical organization said it selected the 34-year-old Gordon-Levitt as its 2016 honoree because he’s a “talented actor” and “visionary entrepreneur.”

The actor as a kid played Tommy on “3rd Rock from the Sun.” He’ll portray Edward Snowden in Oliver Stone’s upcoming movie about the man who leaked classified National Security Agency documents.

Gordon-Levitt also developed HitRecord. org, which helps people collaborate on creative projects.

Previous winners include Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford. Chris Pratt won last year.

“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington was honored as Woman of the Year last month.

NEW YORK – While waiting for Donald Trump to take the stage this week at a campaign rally in Exeter, New Hampshire, fans listened to a few hit songs by Adele, “Skyfall” and “Rolling in the Deep.”

That has apparently hit all the wrong notes with the British superstar: She has said she’d like Trump to quit playing her songs at political rallies.

“Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning,” said Benny Tarantini, an Adele spokesman.

But mega-best-selling Adele may not be able to stop The Donald here.

Legally, the Republican presidential candidate has paid for the right to blast pretty much any music he wishes, as long as he does it correctly.

“Mr. Trump’s campaign paid for and obtained the legal right to use these recordings,” said Hope Hicks, a Trump spokeswoman.

Copyright experts say campaigns don’t need an artist’s permission to play their songs at rallies as long as the political organization or the venue has gotten what’s known as a blanket license from the performing rights organizations ASCAP and BMI.

right law at the Santa Monica, California-based firm Kinsella, Weitzman, Iser, Kump & Aldisert.

The campaign then must pay a small fee to the performing rights organizations. BMI, for example, charges 6 cents for every campaign rally attendee at an event where the music is played. A portion of the 6 cents goes to the artist.

But the use of the music can’t escalate much past the rally without more permissions. A political campaign, Republican even with a blanket license, couldn’t presidential use Adele’s music in a campaign comcandidate mercial for TV or YouTube without Donald Trump greets support- permission and a separate license.

“We built into the license agreement “When the campaign bus pulls into a provision which allows a BMI songa town square in Iowa and starts blar- writer or publisher to object to the use ing music, most times they’ve learned of their songs and, if so, we have the to get a license for that so they’re not ability to exclude it from the license,” violating a copyright,” said Lawrence said Mike Steinberg, senior vice presiY.

Pick a pepper

So many peppers, so many flavors – and so many potential dishes

By BARBARA DAMROSCH • The Washington Post

H

ot peppers, sweet peppers – they’re all hot items in the catalogues this spring, and every year there are more.

What’s up?

Peppers, which spread globally from the New World, were put to new and exciting uses everywhere they went.

Although heat-loving, they were welcome even in northern countries such as Hungary, which became famous for its paprika. An accommodating crop for home gardeners, most require no staking and fit well in small spaces – even planters and pots.

You might think it’s all about looks.

Even “green” peppers rarely stay that way, but progress to yellow, orange, red, chocolate brown or even a lustrous nearly-black, purple hue, as with Purple Beauty from Pinetree Garden Seeds.

Often you get several color changes in sequence and can thereby grow a rainbow mix on one plant as the peppers Washington Post photo by Barbara Damrosch mature. Purira from Seeds of Change is A basket of assorted peppers primarily grown in the author’s garden; an accommodating crop for home gardeners, most one such variety. peppers require no staking and fit well in small spaces.

With a pepper called Fish, carried

by Seed Savers Exchange and others, the fruits are colorfully striped, with variegated foliage to boot. Filius Blue, from Baker Creek and West Coast Seeds, is a jewel box of multicolored little balls, nestled among blue-green leaves.

In the end, though, flavor counts the most. Want the sweetest pepper ever? Fedco Seeds says it’s its Amish Pimiento. The hottest? Many claim it’s the legendary Ghost from India, known there as Bhut Jolokia. (Find it from Harris Seeds and elsewhere.)

Some peppers taste richer and fruitier than others, and it pays to try new ones to see which please your own

set of taste buds.

Wise seed sellers match peppers with the dishes a gardener-cook might want to make. For stuffing, R.H. Schumway’s recommends its Chinese Giant, 6 inches across. I’m drawn to Johnny’s Selected Seeds’ Eros and Cupid or Burpee’s Cherry Stuffers, for a platter of babies you can eat in one or two bites. Cooks like a thick-walled pepper for stuffing and for slicing as well – maybe Pizza Pepper from Territorial Seeds.

For pickling or for pepper vinegar, there’s the Pennsylvania Dutch heirloom Hinkelhatz (“Chicken Heart”), named for its shape, from Fedco Seeds and Seed Savers Exchange. For sweet

ground spice pepper, Alma Paprika (from Territorial Seed and others) long has been a favorite, but for hot spice, I’d sample Cyklon from Seed Savers.

It dries well because of its thin-walled structure. To jazz up crab cakes, the obvious choice is the aforementioned Fish, named for its traditional use at Chesapeake Bay oyster and crab houses.

As cooks get more adventurous, we want to grow ingredients that will make our ethnic dishes more authentic. For Japanese cookery, try the peppers from Kitazawa Seed, which also sells Thai varieties for curries.

Mexican cookery is very popular, and everyone must be making chiles

rellenos, judging by the number of ancho/poblano peppers, so essential to that recipe, being sold. Territorial sells a large one called Mulato Isleno, as both seeds and plants. For a Oaxacan mole, I’m intrigued with Pasillo Bajio from John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds. It’s a medium-hot pepper that’s allowed to dry on the plant, where it turns a dark brown.

Scheepers also tells you how to roast its Basque Piquello peppers as well as what to do with its de Padrons: Fry them in oil, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then, “holding the stem, eat whole with a cool beer.”

Summer cannot come soon enough for that.

Asparagus grows in a deep container in a yard in Langley, Wash.

AP photo

“On small plantings, very light cultivation with a hoe may be used to remove weeds, but avoid using power rotary tillers or any other tillage implements that can damage the crown, reduce yields and promote diseases,” Trinklein said.

Use organic mulches liberally to suppress weeds, he said.

Asparagus spears or shoots begin emerging from the ground in early spring when the soil warms to about 50

degrees.

“When spears are 7 to 9 inches tall and still have tight tips, they are ideal for harvest,” Trinklein said. “When the leaves of the spears start to unfurl or ‘fern out,’ the spear is past its prime for eating.”

Asparagus tastes best if eaten immediately after harvest. It will tolerate refrigeration for several weeks, but at the expense of some sweetness, crispness and flavor.

Asparagus is a delicious and resilient perennial that can be grown anywhere from kitchen gardens to roadside ditches and flowery meadows. In raised beds, too.

But be careful when scouting locations. Once established, this hardy plant will produce for 20 years or more.

Asparagus is considered something of a gourmet vegetable, but it isn’t a crop for impatient gardeners, said Brenna Aegerter, a University of California farm adviser based in San Joaquin County.

“To be on the safe side, you don’t want to over-harvest, so it’s good to wait at least two years after planting,” Aegerter said. “You don’t want to take them too early. You want those underground crowns [year-old root systems] to build up a carbohydrate reserve.”

Asparagus should be planted in sunny, well-drained sites in spring, using uniformly sized crowns set 18 inches apart and in rows some 5 feet apart.

Wait until the threat of frost has passed.

Place crowns in the furrows and fill with about 2 inches of soil. Gradually boost the rows with soil as the plants

grow, or until the crowns are about 6 inches below the surface.

Each crown can produce about a half-pound of edible spears a year when fully established.

“Asparagus is very drought-tolerant and can usually grow without supplemental watering because it seeks moisture deep in the soil,” according to an Ohio State University fact sheet.

The optimal pH for asparagus is 6.5 to 7.5. Weed growing beds thoroughly, and fertilize with a 10-20-10 formulation before planting.

“You can’t completely neglect it, but asparagus isn’t a high-maintenance plant,” Aegerter said. “It is susceptible to a few serious diseases, but for the most part doesn’t have high fertilizer needs.”

Asparagus is a surprisingly large fern-like plant that can grow to heights approaching 5 feet in dedicated sites.

“Asparagus produces over a two- or three-month period and needs a large garden to produce a family harvest,” Aegerter said.

Weed control is the most challenging part, said David Trinklein, an associate professor of plant sciences at the University of Missouri.

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 fourcard 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.

Hip resurfacing can be alternative to replacement

surgery can have hip resurfacing.

“The anatomy of the hip allows you to do a total hip replacement on anyone who needs it,” says my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Donald Reilly. “But not everyone has the right anatomy for hip resurfacing.” That includes small women with poor bone quality and people with certain femoral head anatomies that make femur fractures more likely. That was not a problem in my case: I could have had hip resurfacing.

The most important question is: How good are the results of hip replacement versus hip resurfacing? A recent study published in the British Medical Journal found that the results in the first few years are similar.

However, hip resurfacing is new enough that we don’t yet know how long-lasting the positive effects are.

Traditional total hip replacement surgery has been practiced for nearly 50 years; we know a lot about the long-term results. The artificial parts of the new hip tend to last between 15 and 20 years.

Finally, there’s an increased risk of a particular fracture in hip resurfacing patients. If that fracture occurs, then you need a second operation – a hip replacement.

I decided that since I probably had at least 20 more years to live, I would have hip replacement: It was likely to last as long as I did.

Crossword

PUZZLES & ADVICE | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Dear Dr. K: My hip has bad arthritis, and my doctor says I need either a hip replacement or something called “hip resurfacing.” Which one is best?

Dear reader: I once had to ask myself that same question, when my right hip became so painful from arthritis that something needed to be done.

Let me first explain what each type of surgery is, and then how to think about the choice between them.

The hip is a ball-andsocket joint. The ball – the top of the femur – fits into the socket, the cupshaped area in the pelvis called the acetabulum. In a total hip replacement, the surgeon removes the damaged surface of the socket, and also removes the femoral head and the neck of the femur. Then the surgeon replaces the surface of the socket and the top of the femur bone with artificial components.

In a hip resurfacing, the surgeon replaces the socket – just as in a hip replacement. However, the surgeon keeps the femur in place, reshapes the ball on top of the femur and places an artificial cap (a new “surface”) on top of the ball. So both the ball and the socket have a new surface, but less surgery is done. Less bone is removed, and less soft tissue around the bone is injured. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

That’s the attraction of hip resurfacing: It’s simpler and faster than hip replacement. The recovery time is the same: three days in the hospital, followed by four to six weeks of physical therapy. Insurance pays for both procedures.

So far, so good. Based on what I’ve said so far, I might have chosen hip resurfacing over hip replacement. But not everyone who needs hip

Dear Abby: Every December my wife virtually buries our home in Christmas decorations. It’s not just the tree and stockings in the living room; she’s not happy until there are Christmas towels and Christmas soap in the bathroom and another tree and knicky-knacky stuff downstairs. Not even a doorknob is safe from decoration.

It drives me nuts; I feel so claustrophobic. I bump into these decorations everywhere I turn. I was raised differently, more simply. There was a tree in the living room and stockings hung from the mantel. That was it.

For the last 20 years of our marriage, I have suggested – unsuccessfully – that we compromise and alternate every other year. One year her way, the next mine. When I do, she tearfully accuses me of being Scrooge.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Put greater emphasis on partnerships and cooperation with people who can influence your emotional and financial well-being.

The gains you make this year will depend on your ability to be a team player and to contribute ideas and solutions that fit current trends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you reconnect with someone from your past, an opportunity will present itself. It’s time for a new beginning. Aim for progress in all aspects of life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Focus on helping others. Seek out individuals who can make whatever project you are working on better.

Make romance a priority and celebrate life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Leave the past behind you and focus on building a stronger and better future. Bring about practical changes that will encourage stability and future security. Don’t give in to pressure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take on more responsibilities and prove to others what you are capable of doing. You will obtain greater popularity and pave the way to a better position. Romance is highlighted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You should take care of your interests, not someone else’s. It’s important not to fall behind or to let anyone take advantage of your generosity. Keep your life in perspective and live within your means.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You should make

positive changes that will add comfort and joy to your home. An important partnership can be taken to the next level if you share your feelings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t be too quick to share your thoughts or feelings. Someone will use your words against you, making your

life difficult. Work on yourself instead of trying to change others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Take a break and make plans to do something fun with a loved one. A short vacation or just lazing around and discussing plans for the future will result in personal gains.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Take time to rummage through your possessions and donate things you no longer need. Your kindness will be appreciated, and the space you make at home can be put to better use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll be in the spotlight. Everyone will want to know what you think. An opportunity will arise if you get together with people from your past. Make love a priority.
