Good morning, McHenry County ...

The truth about our endorsements We wrapped up our local endorsements for the March 15 primary Sunday.

If you missed them, we endorsed in the following Republican primaries: McHenry County recorder, County Board chairman, McHenry County state’s attorney, 63rd Illinois House District, 66th Illinois House District and the 26th Illinois Senate District. Endorsements for both parties in the race for U.S. president are forthcoming.

I wanted to clear up some misconceptions about our endorsements: • Our endorsements are recommendations to voters as to who we believe is the best candidate for our readers – the taxpayer.

• We are not trying to predict winners.

• Our endorsements are formed based on endorsement interviews, candidate questionnaires and past performance. They are not predeter-

CONCORD, N.H. – Lawmakers backing a bill to criminalize women exposing their breasts in public said Monday they’re trying to shield families and children, especially those drawn to New Hampshire’s beaches.

“It’s a shame that some folks are more concerned with exposing their breasts in public places than they are concerned about how families and children may be impacted by being forced to experience this evolving societal behavior,” Republican Rep. Brian Gallagher said.

He is a sponsor of legislation that would make it a misdemeanor for women to show their breasts or nipples in public with “reckless disregard” for whether it would offend someone. It’s partly a response to a “Free the Nipple” movement that led to two women being cited for going topless at a Gilford beach last year.

The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund is questioning whether McHenry County Board members are working enough hours to justify pensions after they leave office, the Northwest Herald has learned.

And a state representative known for tussling with the County Board over various issues in recent years plans to ask that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate.

Under state law, McHenry County government employees must work at least 1,000 hours a year – or about 20 hours a week for 50 weeks – to qualify for IMRF benefits.

The County Board in 1997 set a higher standard for its employees – the law otherwise sets a 600-hour annual minimum.

But an audit conducted last year by IMRF cast doubt on whether most board members are meeting the threshold, IMRF Director Louis Kosiba said.

Kosiba, who along with state Rep. Jack Franks asked to meet with the newspaper’s editors, pointed to a line from the IMRF’s own manual to back his assertion. Barring “highly unusual circumstances,” officials elected to county, village, township or municipal boards will not qualify for IMRF under the 1,000-hour threshold.

“What I would like to do is make sure the county is made whole. If any of these County Board members do put in that 1,000 hours, it’s not my issue. For me, it’s a good-government issue,” said Kosiba,

“What I would like to do is make sure the county is made whole.

If any of these County Board members do put in that 1,000 hours, it’s not my issue. For me, it’s a good-government issue.”

Louis Kosiba

Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund director who has led IMRF since 2001.

Franks, D-Marengo, said he intends in the next several days to ask State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi to petition the court for a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate.

The state’s attorney’s office cannot investigate the County Board because it also acts as the board’s legal counsel, Franks said.

“If they haven’t made these hours, they need to be removed from the pension system, and the money needs to be paid back,” Franks said.

Eight of nine countywide elected offices, and all 24 County Board members, are eligible for IMRF pensions under a 1998 ordinance approved by the board.

The elected county regional superintendent of schools is covered under the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System.

Franks has a history of tangling with the County Board on issues such as government consolidation, the popular elec-

tion of the board chairman, and legislation attempting to freeze its tax levy.

While Franks has maintained that he is trying to push needed reforms on an unwilling board, many of its members have accused Franks of engaging in political payback rather than focusing more of his time on the state’s dismal finances.

County Administrator Peter Austin said the county has not heard anything about Kosiba and the IMRF singling out the County Board for greater scrutiny.

He said IMRF audited the county last fall, and that they pointed out two or three minor issues regarding some rankand-file employees, but nothing more serious than that.

Franks through a Freedom of Information Act request provided affidavits signed by 18 board members in August and September – around the time that Kosiba said the audit was ongoing – certifying that they were working at least 1,000 hours a year.

Franks said a glance at the number of meetings members attend in a year, and for how long, proves that hitting that 1,000-hour threshold is “almost impossible, even with perfect attendance.”

Two County Board members – Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, and newly appointed member Jeff Thorsen, R-Woodstock – declined IMRF pensions.

Board members Robert Nowak, R-Lake in the Hills, and Don Kopsell, R-Crystal Lake, are not signed up through the county but both have IMRF through previous jobs – Nowak worked for Cary and Kopsell was Nunda Township Highway Commissioner.

Officials praise the progress on Longmeadow Parkway project

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – After village officials voted to complete a planned transfer of land to Kane County, local lawmakers touted the progress of the long-planned Longmeadow Parkway corridor project at a groundbreaking ceremony Monday.

Officials from the village, Carpentersville and Kane County were among those who spoke at Ganek Municipal Center, lauding the officials who collaborated to bring the planned $115 million, 5.6-mile four-lane road closer to fruition.

While acknowledging opposition to the project, which led Barrington Hills to withdraw support last summer after initially supporting the road, officials touted the corridor as a necessary piece of infrastructure to address future growth.

The first phase of the project, which spans from the intersection of Huntley and Boyer roads to just west of Randall

On the Web To see video from the Longmeadow Parkway corridor project groundbreaking ceremony, visit NWHerald.com.

Road, is set for a spring groundbreaking, despite the fact that there will be an advisory Dundee Township referendum in the upcoming election asking whether public officials should support the project.

“With the growth we’re going to see in the next 20 years, we’re going to need this transJohn Schmitt portation corridor,” Algonquin Village President John Schmitt said. “If people expect us to be able to provide the services we’re providing now without increasing taxes, we need to build commerce. We need to build infrastructure

to build commerce.”

Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen, who also spoke at the ceremony, said he was concerned about each resident’s opinion and frequently fields phone calls from residents on both sides of the issue.

He also touted the state and federal funding officials had secured over the past few years, which includes $39.4 million from the state and $14.5 million in federal funds, according to the Kane County Department of Transportation.

“I think today’s ceremony did demonstrate that after 25 or 30 years, we’ve made real progress on this,” Lauzen said.

The planned project lies entirely within Kane County and would stretch from Huntley Road to Route 62 in Barrington Hills and add another Fox River bridge crossing that will require a toll to pass.

The road will pass through Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated Kane County.

D-26 to bring back at-risk preschool

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARY – Growth in the number of low-income households in the village is part of why Cary School District 26 is bringing back an at-risk preschool program.

A recently approved staffing plan includes one full-time teacher and one paraprofessional for the program, which will be at Briargate Elementary School for students ages 3 to 5 in the district who are at risk of not attending kindergarten.

In total, the program will cost $73,000, including the teacher compensation, new curriculum and classroom supplies, according to district documents.

Superintendent Brian Coleman said it’s a program that existed in the district about six years ago, but was discontinued when the state grant funding stopped coming in.

“We’ve been waiting for the state to come back but they haven’t, and we feel it’s a need right now for the kids

in the community who can’t afford preschool,” Coleman said.

District documents show that at-risk factors include homelessness, economic concerns, chronic illness/health concerns, low performance on screening, speaking a primary language other than English, history of domestic violence in the family and living in a foster care situation, among others.

“Most concerning over the last 10 years is the increase in low-income households in Cary, which has grown from 16.1 percent to 24.7 percent,” ac-

cording to documents.

Fewer students will be able to receive services from birth through age 3 because of recent state cuts to early intervention programs, district officials said.

The staffing plan, which also included new technology personnel as well as staff development and materials for the dual-language program, was approved with a 5-1 vote.

Member Ben Washow, who was the sole dissenting vote, did not immediately return calls for comment.

Scouting for Food coordinator for McHenry County Last year, more than 52,600 food items were collected in McHenry County, Clancy Kelly said, and efforts are important when the number of clients at local food pantries has been growing.

“People normally think of donating food around holidays, and they forget about the rest of the year,” she said.

“People need food all the time.”

The best way to help aside from filling bags, Clancy Kelly said, is for people to reach out and donate to their own local food pantries. A list of local pantries can be found on the county’s website.

Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops in the Blackhawk Area Council have started their annual Scouting for Food service project.

Residents from 12 towns in McHenry County might start to see empty bags and a note on their doors asking for donations of nonperishable items.

Susan Clancy Kelly, Scouting for Food coordinator for McHenry County, said most troops have put out their bags and fliers and will pick up donations Saturday.

The drive benefits local pantries, Clancy Kelly said, and helps the boys realize not everyone in their community is able to put food on the table.

“It’s helping the less-fortunate people in the area, just helping people get food for their families,” 14-year-old Joseph Wright said.

Wright, from Harvard Troop 171, said his troop will collect full bags on March 12. Details on pickup times for each troop are listed on the fliers.

“People normally think of donating food around holidays, and they forget about the rest of the year.”

With state funding the way it is, these nonprofits really need your help. Invite your family, friends and co-workers to come along and join the fun.

The Human Race is a unique community event.

Each race participant chooses which local charity will receive the proceeds of his or her race fee.

Last year, more than 1,000 registered. Many racers came dressed as heroes.

Registration for the 5K walk/run is $35 until April 1, when it goes up to $40. Kids age 10 and younger are always $15.

Each race participant is chip-timed and will receive a finishing medal

when completing the race.

The race will be at McHenry County College. Inside is an expo featuring more than 40 nonprofits, music and food. Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman will be making an appearance for pictures.

We have some great community sponsors that make this race possible: McHenry County Community Foundation, IL State Bank, Medtronic (formerly Covidien), Northwest Herald, 211 Hotline, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, Aurora University, Centegra Health System, General Kinematics, McHenry County College, Running Depot, and SAGE Products.

What a few said after last year’s race:

• VOTING

n

Continued from page A3 voting now, everything is done on a touch screen.”

Depending on district boundaries, McHenry County primary voters this year will cast ballots in contested races for U.S. president, the 6th or 14th U.S. Congressional districts, a U.S. Senate seat, Illinois Senate District 26, Illinois House Districts 63 or 66, McHenry County Board chairman, McHenry County recorder, McHenry County state’s attorney, McHenry County Board Districts 1 through 6, and a 22nd Judicial Circuit judge.

Voters in Fox Lake will be asked if the village should join the Fox Lake Protection District and whether the village should be allowed to levy a new tax for infrastructure and public safety. Johnsburg, Hebron Township and Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District voters will be asked about levying new taxes.

McClellan said a little more than 3,100 people cast ballots during the primary’s early voting period in 2014. Most of those who vote early in primaries, she said, are people who have voted before and have a clear idea of what they’re doing.

She said she hopes the number of early voters will jump to 5,000 this year with the help of same-day voter registration, which is now required in counties such as McHenry that have a population of 100,000 or more.

VOLUNTEERING Rebecca Stiemke

“Supporting community events like this strengthens the agencies that are providing much-needed community services. These agencies not only help individuals meet basic living needs, they take a burden off our tax system.

This means all-around stronger and healthier communities. Thank you, McHenry County nonprofits,” Teagen Andrews said.

“When you can do something healthy, feel good about the accomplishment, and assist a local not-forprofit of your choosing, it’s a win-winwin,” Paul Lockwood said.

“I think it’s fantastic,” McClellan said. “I like voters, so to me it’s a good thing. I am very optimistic about it as long as people know about it.”

Anyone who wants to register and vote the same day during the early voting period will have to do so at the McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road. Voters need to bring two forms of ID that show name and proof of residence. A photo ID is not required.

McClellan said early voting was moving at a good clip Monday morning. By 9 a.m., about a dozen people already had cast their votes at the administration building alone, she said.

Barbara Burke, who lives in Greenwood, was putting an “I voted” sticker on her jacket about 10 a.m. Monday as she walked out of the administration building’s polling place. She said she typically votes on primary day, but a trip this year will take her out of the country.

“We don’t usually vote early, but we won’t be here this time,” Burke said.

“And we like to vote.”

Neighbors Food Pantry of Wonder Lake volunteer Virginia Hartung, 96, gets a hug from patron Tim Fisher of Woodstock on May 6, 2015, at Nativity Lutheran Church in Wonder Lake. A fundraiser for the food pantry will honor Hartung’s 97th birthday, and the goal is to collect 9,700 pounds of food and raise $9,700.

The pantry is a partner agency with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, and provides food and diapers, Halper said.

Reaching this year’s goal would really please Hartung, who is currently in the hospital with a broken femur and expected to be released Tuesday, Halper said.

HARVARD

Police charge man for ‘disturbing behavior’ Similar conduct in Wis. led to warrant, arrest NORTHWEST HERALD HARVARD – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has charged a man for disorderly conduct because of his “alarming and disturbing behavior” in the area of a business he used to work at in unincorporated Harvard early Monday morning.

According to a release from Sheriff Bill Prim, officers responded to the business about 12:30 a.m. Monday and found a former employee of the business in the area “behaving in an unusual manner.”

During the sheriff’s office investiga-

tion, officials learned the man had been exhibiting a pattern of erratic behavior and might have been the subject of police attention because of similar behavior in Clinton, Wisconsin.

After an investigation involving the Janesville and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, police departments, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for his arrest. The man was located in Lake Geneva and taken without incident to a medical facility for assistance.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office still is investigating with police departments from Clinton, Janesville and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop declined to provide further details about the man’s identity, citing the ongoing investigation.

“She’s a fighter,” Halper said.

“Nothing is going to keep her down.”

Donations can be made through the pantry’s website, http://wlfoodpantry. com, the fundraiser’s GoFundMe page and at the pantry, which is open from 9 to 11:45 a.m. Wednesdays and from 8 to 10:45 a.m. Thursdays.

From 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Just for Fun Roller Rink, 914 Front St., McHenry, will donate half the cost of the entrance and rental fees to the challenge.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 1 and 2 at Wal-Mart, 3801 Running Brook Farm Blvd., Johnsburg, a meet-and-greet will be held with the McHenry High School – West Campus Key Club members, American Veterans servicemen and women and pantry volunteers.

On April 11 and 15 at McHenry High School – West Campus, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Road, the high school Key Club members will host a food drive.

Donations can be dropped off in the school’s main office.

From 5 to 8 p.m. March 24 and April 28, McDonald’s, 4411 W. Route 120, McHenry, will donate a portion of its sales to the challenge.

Starting at 8 a.m. April 24 at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake, the Human Race 5K will take place. The pantry will get a donation for every participant who chooses Neighbors Food Pantry of Wonder Lake as a charity.

CARPENTERSVILLE

Local areas to allow texting 911 for emergency situations

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – People in the Barrington Hills and Carpentersville areas soon will be able to text 911 for emergency help.

Starting Tuesday, the Quadcom 911 Public Safety Communication System service will be able to accept texts from customers with mobile service through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, according to a news release from the Carpentersville Police Department. Quadcom serves Barrington Hills, Carpentersville, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow and South Barrington.

Customers should use the texting option only when calling 911 is not an option, because making a voice call is

the most efficient way to access emergency services, the release said.

Text messages need to include clear location information and the nature of the emergency in the first message, officials said. Unlike 911 calls, emergency personnel will not be able to determine the location of a customer sending a text message.

Officials advised residents never to use abbreviations and slang in texts to 911.

They also cautioned that because of several factors, not all text messages from customers within the service area will be routed to Quadcom.

People might receive a bounceback message from their carrier. If a 911 text is not answered in a timely manner, officials said, residents should call 911.

WONDER LAKE – About 10 years ago, Kim Halper said she asked Neighbors Food Pantry of Wonder Lake client Virginia Hartung to start working at the pantry as a volunteer.

“Virginia just had so much energy and everybody loved her,” said Halper, director of the pantry. “She started and she hasn’t left.”

When Hartung, 96, of Wonder Lake wanted to help the pantry more two years ago, Halper said they came up with the idea to start Virginia’s Birthday Challenge. Last year, they reached their goal of collecting 9,600 pounds of food for the pantry.

In honor of Hartung’s 97th birthday on April 21, this year the goal is to collect 9,700 pounds of food and raise $9,700, Halper said.

The pantry, 3506 E. Wonder Lake Road, serves about 500 families a month in Wonder Lake, Woodstock, Ringwood, Bull Valley, Greenwood and McCullom Lake, Halper said.

Donations tend to be lower in the summer, Halper said, and she’s hoping the fundraiser will help supply the pantry through that time.

“If we don’t get donations, it’s really going to impact how best we can help our 500 families,” Halper said.

OBITUARIES

‘Cool Hand Luke’ actor dies at age 91

By LINDSEY BAHR

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – George Kennedy, the hulking, tough-guy character actor who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a savage chain-gang convict in the 1960s classic “Cool Hand Luke,” has died.

His grandson Cory Schenkel said Kennedy died Sunday morning of old age in Boise, Idaho. He was 91.

He had undergone emergency triple bypass surgery in 2002. That same year, he and his late wife moved to Idaho to be closer to their daughter and her family, although he still was involved in occasional film projects.

His biggest acting achievement came in “Cool Hand Luke,” a 1967 film about a rebellious war hero played by Paul Newman who is bent on bucking the system as a prisoner on a Southern chain gang.

Its theme of rebelling against authority and the establishment helped make it one of the most important films of the tumultuous 1960s.

Kennedy played the role of Dragline, the chain-gang boss who goes from Luke’s No. 1 nemesis to his biggest disciple as Newman’s character takes on folk hero status among fellow inmates.

The movie garnered four Academy Award nominations, and Kennedy was named best supporting actor.

Newman and Kennedy provided a spectacular one-two punch – Luke as the reticent anti-hero, Dragline as an illiterate brute. They shared several memorable scenes, including one in which Kennedy’s character wins a bet by getting Luke to eat 50 eggs in an hour.

LUCILLE D. CAMPBELL

Born: March 6, 1917; in Elgin, IL Died: Feb. 26, 2016; in McHenry, IL Lucille Dorthy Campbell, of McHenry, Illinois, formerly of Crystal Lake, passed away Friday Feb. 26, 2016, at Fox Point Assisted Living in McHenry where she had resided since 2006. Lucille was one week away from celebrating her 99th Birthday!

She passed quietly and peacefully with her family by her side, just as she had lived her life. Lucille was born on March 6, 1917, in Elgin, Illinois to Adolph and Emma (Loechner) Schneff.

She graduated from Elgin High School in 1935 and briefly attended St. Joseph Hospital School of Nursing in Elgin before beginning

After the critical and commercial success of “Cool Hand Luke,” Kennedy carved out a niche as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable supporting actors.

He had parts in several action flicks in the 1970s, played Leslie Nielsen’s sidekick in the “Naked Gun” spoofs and was J.R. Ewing’s business rival in the final seasons of “Dallas.”

One of his strongest supporting roles was in the hit 1970 film “Airport,” which spurred the run of 1970s disaster pictures. Kennedy played Joe Patroni, a no-nonsense, cigar-chomping troubleshooter who stubbornly guides a jetliner stuck on a snow-clogged runway out of harm’s way.

The film spawned several sequels (Kennedy was in all of them) and landed Kennedy a Golden Globe nomination.

Kennedy said his acting ambitions were cemented when he was a young child.

“I remember listening to a radio program when I was young and it made me feel good and I remember telling my mom that I wanted to make people feel the way this radio program made me feel,” Kennedy said in 1995.

“I got some great breaks, and I wound up being an actor.”

His film career began to take flight in the early 1960s. He starred in 1963’s “Charade,” a whodunit that features Kennedy, Cary Grant, James Coburn and Walter Matthau seeking out the $250,000 they suspect was left behind by Audrey Hepburn’s dead husband. His other acting credits in the 1960s included “The Dirty Dozen” and “Guns of the Magnificent Seven.”

Kennedy once called “Charade” the favorite movie in which he appeared.

George Kennedy poses April 10, 1968, with his Oscar in Santa Monica, Calif., after winning best supporting actor for “Cool Hand Luke.” Kennedy died Sunday of natural causes in Boise, Idaho, where he moved with his late wife in 2002. He was 91.

her career as a professional secretary at the Elgin National Watch Company, later at the First Congregational Church of Elgin and finally after returning to work, as Executive Secretary at the Church of the Brethren Publishing Company in Elgin from where she retired in 1978.

Her true “calling” as everyone knew, was to be a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, a calling to which she excelled!

Lucille married Donald W. Campbell on June 22, 1946, following the end of World War II. Lucille and Don were married 55 years at the time of his death in 2001. They spent their life together in the Elgin, Dundee and Crystal Lake areas. Lucille loved her family who were the most important thing to her in her life.

She loved to be with “her kids” – her son Scott, daughter in law, Colleen and her precious two grandsons, their wives and her

three great grandchildren. When she wasn’t with them, she loved to spend her time looking at their pictures.

Lucille loved nature – she loved to see the deer, the cardinals, the loons and loved the Wisconsin “Northwoods” where she vacationed and retired to in 1978.

Lucille is survived by her son, Scott Campbell; her daughter-in-law, Colleen of Crystal Lake; her two beloved grandsons , Matthew (Sarah) Campbell of Deer Park, Keith (Kelly) Campbell of Libertyville; her three precious great-grandchildren, Christopher, Tyler and Lucy Campbell; two nieces, Antoinette Kelly of Carpentersville, Nancy (Dewey) Parker of Jacksonville, Alabama; two nephews, Edward Dwan of Carpentersville and Wayne Gundersen (Gail) of Reno, Nevada; and many great and great-great nieces and nephews.

Preceding Lucille in death were her parents, Adolph and Emma Schneff; her husband,

Donald; and a sister, Lois Dwan.

Lucille was a member of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in McHenry and prior to that, Bethlehem Lutheran Church and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Elgin, where she served on the Altar Guild.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 3, 2016, at Justen Funeral Home and Crematory, 3700 Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry, Illinois 60050 and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Friday, March 4, 2016, preceding the funeral service at 10:30 am at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, 404 North Green Street, McHenry, Illinois 60050.

Gov. says speaker putting politics 1 before higher ed

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner unloaded some of his harshest criticism yet of House Speaker Michael Madigan on Monday, saying the Chicago Democrat is prolonging a higher education funding crisis for political gain, has threatened university leaders who might stand with the Republican governor on a fix and has “spies in most organizations” who report back if anyone steps out of line.

“Political games are being put ahead of student lives and we’ve got to stop this,” the Republican said, adding that Madigan is trying to Bruce “spin” the issue ahead of Rauner the March 15 primary.

The comments prompted some laughter and a sharp response from Madigan spokesman Steve Brown, who noted Rauner last year proposed cutting the higher education budget by 30 percent then vetoed a budget bill to fund colleges and universities. More recently Rauner vetoed a measure to fund grants to help students pay tuition, saying it would “explode the state budget.”

Representatives from two of the three universities that Rauner claimed had been threatened also denied that Madigan or his office had done so.

“Sounds like the governor’s getting a little wobbly on us,” Brown said. “He’s under a lot of pressure because he’s wrecking higher education.”

The exchange comes as colleges and their students are struggling to pay their bills amid a months-long state budget stalemate and are looking for help from lawmakers, who return Tuesday to Springfield.

Madigan is expected to try to override Rauner’s veto on the bill to fund the Monetary Assistance Program grants.

While it’s not clear Madigan has the votes, putting the question on the board would require Republican lawmakers to push a button – potentially getting them on the record as not supporting a politically popular program.

Rauner is calling on Madigan to instead allow a vote on legislation sponsored by state Rep. Ken Dunkin, a Chicago Democrat who has bucked his party to side with the governor on some big issues. The bill would provide $40 million to community colleges and $160 million to financially teetering colleges and universities such as Chicago State and Northeastern Illinois.

The money comes from dollars that lawmakers borrowed from special state accounts last year. They’re required to pay the money back this year, but wouldn’t have to do so if the measure passes. Rauner said that’s not ideal, but called it a short-term solution aimed at averting a major crisis at Chicago State, which has said it may not have enough money to finish out the school year.

Brown said Madigan opposes Dunkin’s measure in part because it would take money from other vital programs, such as local school construction.

Rauner had hoped to have representatives from the colleges join him for his Monday news conference, but said three – Chicago State, Northeastern and Eastern Illinois universities – declined.

He said they indicated they’d been told

by Madigan’s office not to support any measure that hasn’t been “blessed” by the speaker before the election.

“I haven’t verified this directly but I have good sources,” Rauner said.

Mike Hines, director of public relations for Northeastern Illinois, said President Sharon Hahs declined the invite on guidance from the Board of Trustees, which said officials should remain neutral on legislation at least until it’s assigned to a committee.

“Northeastern Illinois University has received no instructions on any topic from Speaker Michael Madigan or his office,” Hines said.

Chicago State issued a statement saying its Board of Trustees’ official position is not to participate in news conferences in the midst of an election.

“At no point have any CSU officials had conversations with any of the four legislative leaders that included direction about which bills to support or not support,” it said.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state U.S. judge strikes down Illinois law on 3rd parties

CHICAGO – A federal judge in Chicago has struck down as unconstitutional an Illinois law requiring any small political party to field a full slate of candidates in a district before any one of its candidates can get on the ballot.

Judge Andrea Wood’s order Monday permanently bars Illinois from enforcing the law. The decision stems from a lawsuit filed by the Libertarian Party in Illinois.

Plaintiffs’ attorney David Schoen said Wood is taking a stand against a nationwide tendency of established parties to erect barriers against small ones.

County election districts typically have the most seats up for election, from clerks to coroners. Finding a candidate for each has been hard for small parties.

With the law Illinois struck down, more parties should appear on county ballots in November’s general election.

Court won’t hear appeal over anti-panhandling ban

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from Springfield officials seeking to reinstate an ordinance that banned panhandling in the city’s downtown historic district.

The justices Monday let stand an appeals court ruling that said the city’s ban was unconstitutional.

The ordinance defined panhandling as a verbal request for the immediate donation of money. A federal appeals court ruled last year that the ban infringed on free speech rights.

The city argued that the anti-panhandling ordinance was meant to regulate the behavior of panhandlers but not their message. The case is City of Springfield v. Don Norton, 15-727.

Community spends $106K on Nobel Peace Prize effort

THORNTON TOWNSHIP – A community in northeast Illinois has spent more than $106,000 on advertising to support a Nobel Peace Prize bid for a South Carolina church where a mass shooting took place in June 2015.

The Chicago Tribune reported that

newly released records indicate that Thornton Township spent the money on radio and newspaper ads aimed predominantly at African-American audiences around the Chicago market.

The advertising campaign came after a $46,000 taxpayer-funded trip to South Carolina in September taken by township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli and 14 other officials.

The township’s ads argue that the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston deserves the award because of its peaceful response to the killing of nine black parishioners.

The ads direct people to sign an online petition to support the effort.

Critics said the money could’ve been better spent in Thornton Township.

Pekin police arrest man in connection with bomb

PEKIN – A man has been arrested in connection with a pipe bomb that exploded under a bridge over the Illinois River in central Illinois.

A news release from the Pekin Police Department said 26-year-old Marc A. McCulley of Pekin was arrested early Sunday after police received a tip on the department’s Facebook page.

The (Peoria) Journal Star reported that McCulley is charged with possession of explosives or incendiary devices, disorderly conduct and reckless conduct.

He’s being held in Tazewell County’s jail.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether he has an attorney.

The device detonated Friday under the Pekin Bridge. Police said no one was injured and the bridge wasn’t significantly damaged.

The FBI and the Illinois State Police plan to continue investigating the incident.

Chicago Public Schools announces layoff of 62

CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools has announced the layoff of 62 employees, 17 of them teachers, citing its efforts to stabilize its finances by eliminating $85 million from school budgets.

In announcing Monday’s move, the school district said 43 full-time and 19 part-time employees were laid off.

Chicago schools CEO Forrest Claypool said the fact the cuts are needed is unfortunate for the district’s students, principals and teachers.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Four hurt as student opens fire in Ohio school

HAMILTON, Ohio – A 14-year-old boy pulled out a gun in a school cafeteria Monday and opened fire, hitting two students, and then ran from the school, threw the weapon down and was apprehended nearby with the help of a police dog, authorities said.

Two other Madison Local Schools students also were injured, possibly from shrapnel or while running away. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones.

Jones said the 14-year-old was a student and there was a motive to the shooting that he did not identify. The boy was charged preliminarily with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault, inducing panic and making terrorist threats, Jones said.

Students were eating in the cafeteria when the shooting happened around 11:30 a.m., Jones said. Afterward, classmates described a chaotic scene where they weren’t sure what was happening at first. Some students fled outside.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gestures during a rally Monday at Radford University in Radford, Va.

GOP badly split as Trump seeks Super Tuesday wins The ASSOCIATED PRESS VALDOSTA, Ga. – On the eve of Super Tuesday’s crucial primaries, a sharp new divide erupted between Republicans who pledge to fall in line behind Donald Trump if he wins their party’s nomination and others who insist they can never back the bombastic billionaire.

The fissure could have major implications beyond the primaries, exposing the looming challenges in uniting the party after the election, no matter who wins.

Nebraska’s Ben Sasse, a rising star among conservatives, became the first current senator to publicly raise the prospect of backing a third party option if Trump clinches the nomination. In a letter posted on Facebook late Sunday, Sasse urged Republicans to consider whether a party led by Trump would still represent their interests.

“If our party is no longer working for the things we believe in – like defending the sanctity of life, stopping Obamacare, protecting the Second Amendment, etc. – then people of good conscience should stop supporting that party until it is reformed,” he wrote.

The Associated Press asked Republican senators and governors across the country if they would support Trump if he secured the nomination. Just fewer than half of those who responded would not commit to backing him, foreshadowing a potentially extraordinary break this fall.

“I am increasingly concerned by Donald Trump’s statements and behavior, and I have serious concerns about his ability to win the general election and provide presidential lead-

ership,” Indiana Sen. Dan Coats said in a statement to AP. The concern among Republican leaders appeared to grow in light of Trump’s refusal to immediately disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s support.

Mitt Romney, the party’s 2012 nominee, called that “disqualifying.” And South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, campaigning in Atlanta alongside Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, said she would “not stop fighting a man who refuses to disavow the KKK.” Trump said he had not understood the interviewer who first raised the question about Duke, and he did later repudiate him. “How many times do I have to continue to disavow people?” he said.

Several high-profile Republicans and conservative writers have embraced an anti-Trump social media campaign, using the Twitter hashtag “NeverTrump.”

Trump has won three of four early primary contests, roiling a party that had assumed his populist appeal with voters would fizzle.

Instead, he’s only grown stronger and appears to be in commanding position heading into Super Tuesday, the biggest single-day delegate haul of the year.

Tensions boiled over during Trump’s rally Monday in Radford, Virginia, where he was repeatedly disrupted by demonstrators, including 20 or more chanting “Black lives matter.” At another point, he asked a protester, “Are you from Mexico?” after he was interrupted during remarks about immigration.

He ordered several people to be removed, then cast himself as a unifying political force.

Justice Thomas breaks court silence Asks questions for first time in 10 years

By SAM HANANEL

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Justice Clarence Thomas broke 10 years of courtroom silence Monday and posed questions during a Supreme Court oral argument, provoking gasps from the audience.

And it wasn’t just one question; it was a string of them in an exchange that lasted several minutes.

It was only the second week the court has heard arguments since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Thomas’ friend and fellow conservative, whom he’d sat next to for seven years.

Scalia was famous for aggressive and sometimes combative questions from the bench. His chair is now draped

in black in observance of his Feb. 13 death.

Thomas’ gravelly voice unexpectedly filled the courtroom and enlivened an otherwise sleepy argument about gun rights.

He peppered Justice Department lawyer Ilana Eisenstein, who was trying to wind up her argument, with 10 or so questions that seemed to Clarence be a vigorous defense of Thomas the constitutional right to own a gun.

“Ms. Eisenstein, one question,” Thomas said. “This is a misdemeanor violation. It suspends a constitutional right. Can you give me another area where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?”

Until then, it had been business as usual for the first 50 minutes of the hourlong session in Voisine v. United States. The court was considering the

reach of a federal law that bans people convicted of domestic violence from owning guns.

None of the other justices visibly reacted to Thomas’ remarks.

Eisenstein noted that violating other laws can, in some cases, limit a person’s free-speech rights under the First Amendment.

“OK,” Thomas said. “So can you think of a First Amendment suspension or a suspension of a First Amendment right that is permanent?”

It was a topic no other justice had asked about. And his comments came after several of the other justices seemed to favor the government’s position that the law applies whether the abuse is intentional or reckless.

Thomas last asked a question in court on Feb. 22, 2006, and his unusual silence over the years has become a curiosity. Every other justice regularly poses questions from the bench.

Thomas has come under criticism for his silence from some who say he

is neglecting his duties as a justice. He has said he relies on the written briefs in a case and doesn’t need to ask questions of the lawyers appearing in court.

Carrie Severino, a former clerk to Thomas who now heads a conservative advocacy group, said the justice had kept his silence “because he felt that oral arguments have become less civil and respectful of the attorneys and their arguments over the past two decades, often becoming little more than rhetorical jousting among the justices.”

Like Scalia, Thomas has long championed Second Amendment gun rights.

In December, he and Scalia objected when the high court refused to hear a challenge to a Chicago suburb’s assault weapons ban that was upheld by lower courts. Thomas said the justices should not stand by while lower courts relegate “the Second Amendment to a second-class right.”

Thomas did not speak during the court’s second argument on Monday.

European migrants face razor wire, tear gas

By COSTAS KANTOURIS and DEREK GATOPOULOS The Associated Press

IDOMENI, Greece – Pressed against coils of razor wire and shouting “Help us!,” refugees and migrants at Greece’s northern border were pushed back by Macedonian police using tear gas and stun grenades, as authorities here raced to build more camps to shield the escalating number of stranded people from winter.

A top European Union official prepared to visit the region Tuesday to try and ease the crisis that produced more scenes of chaos: Syrian and Iraqi refugees and others forced their way through part of a Macedonian border fence, some clutching infants or struggling to free duffel bags caught in the razor wire. They were met by Macedonian riot police.

Volunteer doctors said at least 22 migrants, including 12 children, were treated for breathing difficulties and cuts. Authorities in Macedonia said one policeman was injured and that dozens of special forces officers were flown in by helicopter to help quell a refugee protest.

“Tragically, there seems to be more willingness among European countries to coordinate blocking borders than to provide refugees and asylum-seekers with protection and basic services,” said Giorgos Kosmopoulos, head of Amnesty International in Greece.

Refugees and migrants try to break an iron fence from the Greek side of the border Monday as Macedonian police stand guard near the northern Greek village of Idomeni. Macedonian police fired tear gas and stun guns Monday as several hundred Iraqi and Syrian refugees, frustrated at days of delays in crossing the Greek-Macedonian border, broke down a gate on a nearby rail crossing.

Some 7,000 migrants, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, are crammed into a tiny camp at the Greek border village of Idomeni, and hundreds more are arriving daily.

The Greek army completed more temporary shelters in northern Greece over the weekend, and at the government’s request, local authorities in central Greece, opened indoor stadiums,

conference centers and hotels that have gone out of business to house migrants, while the Education Ministry called on schoolchildren to join the effort with donation drives.

“Of course Greece over the next one or two months will do what it can to help these people. But it must be made clear that the burden of this crisis must be distributed in Europe,” Greek Prime

Minister Alexis Tsipras said in an interview with private Star television.

The border bottleneck began 10 days ago, when Austria and four ex-Yugoslav countries on the Balkan migrant route north into Western Europe cut border access for migrants to a trickle.

Donald Tusk, the European Council President, begins a tour of those countries Tuesday, starting in Vienna, which has been strongly criticized by other EU nations for its caps on asylum-seekers, and ending Thursday in Athens.

Tusk is aiming to prepare for a meeting of leaders from the EU and Turkey on March 7, where the key topic will be trying to halt the flow of migrants from Turkey to Greece.

The number of migrants stranded in Greece topped 25,000 Sunday, according to government estimates. Thousands have been sleeping outside in parks and fields and even along highways, as refugee shelters quickly overflowed.

“Very many people were forced to sleep in the open, without tents, wrapped in blankets,” said 45-year-old Syrian refugee Nidal Jojack, who has been camped out with her family at Idomeni for three days.

“It was very cold. The borders are effectively closed, it’s a huge problem.

To get food, we have to wait in very long queues.”

Jojack said she hopes to reach Germany, where her 18-year-old son already has arrived.

bans the military from using so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. However the CIA used waterboarding after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and other methods that are illegal under domestic or international law. Those included some physical contact such as slapping and slamming an inmate and psychological torture. One inmate at a secret CIA “black site” died of exposure, according to the Senate panel’s report.

Dianne In 2009, Obama issued Feinstein an executive order saying all U.S. government personnel and contractors – not just those in the military – are prohibited from using any interrogation techniques John McCain that aren’t in the Army Field Manual.

Last year, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona introduced an amendment to the 2016 defense policy bill that essentially put the executive order into law. Feinstein said it was important because a future president could lift Obama’s executive order.

This year, after hearing Trump and other GOP presidential candidates talk favorably about torture, McCain weighed in. McCain was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, held as a prisoner of war in Hanoi and tortured before his captors released him six years later.

“Given the loose talk on the campaign trail about reviving waterboarding and other inhumane interrogation techniques, it is important to remember the facts,” McCain said.

“These forms of torture not only failed their purpose to secure actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks on the U.S. and our allies, but compromised our values, stained our national honor and did little practical good,” he added.

Some of McCain’s Republican colleagues and some former CIA officials, however, maintain that waterboarding and other harsh methods have yielded vital intelligence.

In his book, “The Great War of Our Time,” former deputy CIA director Mike Morell argued that the techniques used on al-Qaida detainees by the CIA produced crucially important intelligence. “I believe that waterboarding was one of the two most effective of the all the harsh techniques (the other being sleep deprivation),” he wrote.

WASHINGTON – Tough talk about torture is a guaranteed applause line for Donald Trump on the GOP presidential stump.

Trump has repeatedly advocated waterboarding, an enhanced interrogation technique that simulates the feeling of drowning.

“In the Middle East, we have people chopping the heads off Christians. ... I would bring back waterboarding and I’d bring back a [heck] of a lot worse than waterboarding,” he said to applause in a recent debate, without ever specifying what “a lot worse” would entail.

“I don’t think we go far enough,” he said, drawing loud clapping at a rally last week in Las Vegas.

“We don’t go far enough,” he repeated, prompting now-thundering applause and chants of “USA! USA!” Trouble is, waterboarding and “a lot worse” interrogation techniques are illegal.

To bring it back, Trump would have to get Congress to repeal the law that prohibits it. That could be an uphill battle. Last June, Republicans joined all 44 Senate Democrats in voting 78-21 to reaffirm a ban on harsh interrogation

techniques.

That vote came just months after a Senate intelligence committee report denounced brutal interrogation methods as ineffective.

“In general, what I’ve taken away from our practices and what the research shows is that the rapport-based techniques – that we operate under and focus on – are shown to elicit greater detail in a quicker fashion,” said Frazier Thompson, director of Donald the High-Value Detainee Trump Interrogation Group, a secretive team of interrogators from the FBI, Defense Department, the CIA and other intelligence agencies that interrogates top suspects believed linked to plots against the U.S. or its allies.

“Every individual is different and every situation is different,” Thompson said, adding that it’s important to know where the suspect is emotionally and intellectually so that an interrogator with the right skill set can build rapport and elicit intelligence.

Trump, however, told voters in Bluffton, South Carolina, simply that, “torture works.”

Evidence favors court cameras Half a loaf is better than none.

That was our reaction to the Illinois Supreme Court’s announcement last week it would adopt a permanent policy for extended media coverage in circuit courts across Illinois.

In making the announcement, Chief Justice Rita B. Garman said the positive results from the fouryear pilot project, which permitted For the record news cameras in criminal courtrooms Extended media coverage under certain circum- in Illinois courtrooms was a stances, paved the resounding success. way for the policy to be made permanent.

“At every level of the judicial system, we do the people’s work, and the people have an interest in observing how the judicial process functions,” Garman said in a news release. “We are pleased with the success of the pilot project and with the great cooperation we have received from the media. It is time to make EMC more widely available.”

Except in McHenry County’s 22nd judicial circuit.

There were 41 counties where courtrooms, with permission of local judges, were opened to extended media coverage during the four-year experimental stage. Chief judges covering 61 other Illinois counties, including McHenry County, chose not to apply to the Supreme Court for the pilot program.

Unless those chief judges reconsider, people in those counties will not be able to see photos taken at trials in local courtrooms, or watch video from trials in local courtrooms, or otherwise benefit from extended media coverage from trials in local courtrooms.

The Supreme Court will not force the nine nonparticipating judicial circuits (and their 61 total counties) to allow cameras in the courtroom.

For doubting judges, we refer them to the evidence. More than 450 media requests for extended media coverage were made in the past four years.

Courtrooms in participating counties saw multiple instances of still and video cameras and other electronic news recording devices used during hearings and trials. Did cameras create a circus atmosphere, deprive defendants of fair trials or otherwise disrupt the administration of justice? Not at all.

“There were no red flags in any of the instances,” said Bethany Krajelis, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Supreme Court.

That proves to us extended media coverage in Illinois courtrooms was a resounding success. We encourage judges in the nine nonparticipating circuits to re-evaluate their positions based on the evidence.

The genetic technology revolution

One of the most exciting and promising developments in the history of medical science may bypass the U.S. if Congress fails to act. It needs to lift the ban on federal spending on research involving human embryos.

Other governments already are responding to the progress being made in genetic technology.

Britain has given researchers permission to use an ingenious new gene-cutting technique called Crispr-Cas9 to investigate how human embryos develop. Chinese scientists have wielded the same tool to see if it’s possible to fix, in human embryos, the gene responsible for beta-thalassemia, a deadly blood disorder. (So far, no.)

In the U.S., such studies are allowed – but only if they are privately funded. Not only is there the congressional ban, but the National Institutes of Health has refused to fund research that uses gene-editing technologies on human embryos.

This prohibition, unfortunate

in itself, poses a greater problem: When genetic techniques advance to the point where they might be used clinically – that is, to safely prevent disease in human embryos that progress to live births – the Food and Drug Administration won’t be able to license them. This gives Congress even more compelling reason to change course.

The FDA’s own expert panel has recommended that medical scientists be allowed to pursue “mitochondrial replacement therapy,” or MRT. This is an experimental genetic technique that has the potential to prevent debilitating, sometimes deadly mitochondrial diseases with so-called three-parent embryos (it swaps an embryo’s flawed mitochondrial DNA with that of a healthy donor).

For such technology to move beyond the laboratory and into actual practice, however, the FDA would have to license it, as if it were a drug or a medical device.

But the agency said Congress

prevents it from “using funds to review applications in which a human embryo is intentionally created or modified to include a heritable genetic modification.”

It’s possible to imagine a future in which there are powerful medical weapons that would be prohibited in the U.S. It’s true these advances raise ethical and social concerns. In the case of MRT, offspring would have genes from three people. And the changes this would bring about would be irreversible.

The way to deal with these concerns, however, is not to ban the practice. It is to carefully regulate and monitor it, and keep all participants sufficiently informed.

This is the strategy recommended by the FDA panel.

In other words, scientists should proceed with caution – but they should proceed. The alternative is to ignore an exhilarating opportunity to alleviate human suffering.

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.

Lucky to have Gonsiorek

To the Editor: I fully support Nancy Gonsiorek to serve on the McHenry County Board. I have worked with her over the past decade on many levels, as a parent as well as a nonprofit leader. I have seen her fight for the high level of education our community is known for on the School District 47 Board of Education.

Nancy’s career is dedicated as a CPA to nonprofit organizations in our community, an essential element to keeping McHenry County healthy. Her diligence, professionalism and high level of knowledge and integrity is unmatched in our community.

Add to that her financial acumen and dedication to fiscal responsibility, and I find it hard to imagine a better candidate for the position of County Board member.

We’ll be lucky to have her.

Mistakes of the past

To the Editor: Until recently, the Vietnam War generally was considered to have been the greatest military mistake America ever made. And in terms of numbers, it was.

About 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam for essentially nothing.

But now, we may have an even bigger mistake. Consider, the Iraq War, in terms of its consequences, resulted in the destabilization of the Middle East, the ascendancy of Iran, the involvement of Russia in Syria, the rise of ISIS, not to mention the murders of more than 100,000 Iraqis.

Even Republicans now concede the war was a catastrophic blunder. People who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them.

Maybe Trump isn’t as crazy as many of us thought.

Regna earns respect

To the Editor: As a retired police captain serving 33 years with the McHenry County Sheriffs office, I feel qualified to acknowledge a talented assistant state’s attorney I was honored to work with – Dan Regna.

When Dan was an assistant state’s attorney, he quickly earned the respect of the law enforcement community.

Dan excelled in all aspects, especially in his cooperation and knowledge of state law. Dan always offered competent, knowledgeable and conscientious legal assistance no matter how late the hour.

He stands apart by having the honor and distinction of being a West Point graduate and military officer. He possesses unrivaled professional demeanor. Dan always upheld the highest ethics of the state’s attorney’s office and the legal profession.

He is unafraid of any challenge, and I chuckle remembering when he tackled a prisoner fleeing from the courtroom, preventing his escape.

I encourage others to join me in sup-

Kenneally pursues justice

To the Editor: On March 17, 2012, my sister, Michelle Mathieu, was brutally beaten by her longtime boyfriend. She had severe trauma to the brain. She died March 24, 2012.

Through my tears and grief, a resolve formed within me to make others aware of domestic violence in the hopes that women will be willing to get the assistance they need to free themselves and claim their real worth.

The prosecution of Michelle’s murderer was assigned to Patrick Kenneally.

Patrick prepared for this jury trial, leaving no stone unturned. Kenneally worked in harmony with leading experts and local detectives to tenaciously identify all of the facts and bring forth all of the evidence.

Michelle’s murderer was found guilty after a jury trial and sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Our family extends a heartfelt thank you to Patrick. Working with Patrick was to witness a relentless pursuit of justice.

We urge everyone to vote for Patrick for McHenry County state’s attorney.

Politicians create problems

To the Editor: What is a “good politician?” A “good politician” is someone who will quietly, directly or indirectly, create a problem and then run for election or re-election to correct the problem they created.

The following McHenry County board members voted “no” for consolidating township governments, but some are running for re-election on the platform to consolidate Illinois units of government: Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake; Mike Skala, R-Huntley; Larry Smith, R-Harvard;

Missed the story

To the Editor: Upon reading the article in the Jan. 9 Northwest Herald “Math program helps cut need for remedial classes,” my first reaction was to wonder why in the world it is necessary to essentially redo high school math in college.

According to the article, McHenry County College is taking a pat on the back for reducing reliance on this program from 63 percent to 21 percent. So after all the money spent on high school education, 21 percent still can’t do math. In other words, for at least five documented years (and who knows how much longer), the high schools in McHenry County have been failing to sufficiently teach math to their students.

Who can name any private company that would keep employees on staff who fail every year to do their jobs? But these same instructors, curriculum personnel and administrators continue to be employed and, citing the recent District 155 contract announcement, these employees are given raises and other perks because “the board has recognized the work done by our incredible teaching staff.”

Not only are tax dollars spent in the initial education, but more tax money is spent to make up for the poor performance by staff in the high schools.

To the Editor: Dan Wilbrandt, a lifelong resident of West Dundee, is a man committed to his community. As a village trustee, Dan strives to reduce spending and promote local business. A proud resident of West Dundee, Dan participates in local events, such as Heritage Fest and Dickens in Dundee. He’s actively involved in his neighborhood, school and local community service activities. When he worked with the Peer Jury system, Dan helped many youth offenders turn their lives around through community service.

The past three years, Dan has been working as an assistant state’s attorney, keeping our community safe by prosecuting criminals.

For all the reasons listed, along with his strong work ethic and honest nature, Dan Wilbrandt will get my vote for Illinois state representative in the 66th District on March 15. I encourage others to vote for Dan Wilbrandt.

This blatant disregard for property tax payers can go only so far. I don’t even think the most notorious gangsters of Chicago ever could pull off raising their rackets by 27 percent. I can ask only one question: Do Illinois politicians really want us to just leave Illinois?

Container International moving to Crystal Lake, bringing new jobs

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Already starting to relocate, an injection molding company from Palatine gradually will move its entire business to Crystal Lake, bringing as many as 200 new jobs and bolstering the manufacturing sector in the city.

As part of the move, Container International will build a 26,125-square-foot addition to an industrial building at 176 W. Terra Cotta Ave., a site the company for years rented to store its container products made for businesses in numerous industries, President Richard Brandt told the Northwest Herald.

The addition will accommodate expanded manufacturing activity at Container International, which saw overall sales increase 27 percent from 2014 to 2015, he said.

Once complete, Container International will have a 105,415-square-foot facility in Crystal Lake.

“Right now, our business is so busy, we can’t keep up,” Brandt said. “We have so many things going right now that we are trying to keep it all together because we are growing so fast. We are very blessed. We have to keep up with the needs of our customers.”

The president cited numerous reasons

for the move, a major addition for Crystal Lake officials that have a desire to expand the city’s manufacturing base and attract the type of jobs that could spur additional economic development.

Even with heightened activity, Brandt said the business has had difficulties recruiting quality workers to its operation in Palatine, a northwest suburb in Cook County. Taxes also are “astronomical” in Cook, making it even more challenging for Container International to thrive, he said.

Crystal Lake provides the business with a central location to attract workers based in Carpentersville, Elgin, Huntley, McHenry and Woodstock – areas that often attract other injection molding and plastic manufacturers, Brandt said. He also lives in Crystal Lake, and he said he always liked the idea of locating business there.

“All the pieces of the puzzle came together, and it made total sense to make the move,” he said.

The move, however, will take time. Because of the building addition, the business will transition its operation to Crystal Lake over the next two years, slowly bringing between 150 and 200 new jobs, Brandt said.

Container International currently employs about 120 people primarily in Pal-

atine, and the business has moved about a dozen of employees to its future headquarters in Crystal Lake.

Founded in Palatine in 1958 by Brandt’s father, the family-owned manufacturer does most of its business in the U.S., making container products for businesses in housewares, appliances, residential construction, electronics and others.

Container International brings a track record of success and innovation to Crystal Lake, said Michelle Rentzsch, community development director for the city.

The business’ move also fulfills a need within Crystal Lake to attract more primary employers, she said.

“This company is so well run. They have innovation and new technology,” Rentzsch said. “It’s a nice source of jobs, and it’s great to have those jobs coming to Crystal Lake.”

City Council members unanimously approved a variance request in December that allowed Container International to build its 26,125-square-foot addition on the west end of the building along Terra Cotta Avenue, according to meeting minutes.

The company also is receiving a 50 percent discount on its building permit fees, as part of a city incentive afforded to businesses that make more than $250,000 in renovations, Rentzsch said.

Tuve Nilsson, 75, said there were many more shops in the town when he moved here with his family in 1976. He welcomed Ilijason’s new store, saying it could be convenient for elderly people living alone.

“But if they can manage this [technology], I don’t know,” Nilsson said. “Sometimes I don’t understand it.”

Ilijason is considering other ways to unlock the door that wouldn’t require using an app.

He’s ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners, but is thinking of installing a credit card reader like some banks use.

He’s also considering having one person man the store for a few hours a day to help customers who aren’t comfortable with modern technology.

Other customers loved the speed of the no-service store. Raymond Arvidsson, a friend of Ilijason’s, did his shopping in less than a minute.

“No queues,” he said, smiling. “Quick in, quick out. I like.”

risk of theft. Alcohol cannot be sold in convenience stores in Sweden.

“My ambition is to spread this idea to other villages and small towns,” Ilijason said. “It is incredible that no one has thought of this before.”

He hopes the savings of having no staff will help bring back small stores to the countryside. In recent decades, such stores have been replaced by bigger supermarkets often many miles away.

Ilijason receives deliveries at the shop and stacks products on the shelves. Then he lets the customers do the rest.

He has installed six surveillance cameras to discourage shoplifting in the 480-square-foot store. Also, he is alerted by a text message if the front door stays open for longer than eight seconds or if someone tries to break it open.

“I live nearby and can always run down here with a crowbar,” Ilijason said laughing, but added that hasn’t been necessary since the store opened in January.

A bigger challenge has been getting some of the elderly residents in Viken, a town of 4,200 people, to get the hang of the

VIKEN, Sweden – It was a chaotic, late-night scramble to buy baby food with a screaming toddler in the backseat that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden’s first unstaffed convenience store.

Home alone with his hungry son, Ilijason had dropped the last baby food jar on the floor, and had to drive 20 minutes from the small town of Viken in southern Sweden to find a supermarket that was open.

Now, the 39-year-old IT specialist runs a 24-hour shop with no cashier.

Customers simply use their cellphones to unlock the door with a swipe of the finger and scan their purchases. All they need to do is register for the service and download an app. They get charged for their purchases in a monthly invoice.

The shop has basics such as milk, bread, sugar, canned food, diapers and other products that you expect to find in a small convenience store. It doesn’t have tobacco or medical drugs because of the

By JOSH FUNK

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. – Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Saturday the nation’s economy is in better shape than the presidential candidates make it seem, although businesses like his still face challenges.

In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Buffett didn’t name specific candidates or issues but noted that the negative drumbeat about the economy, health care reform and income inequality may get voters down about the future.

“It’s an election year, and candidates can’t stop speaking about our country’s problems (which, of course, only they can solve),” wrote Buffett, who has endorsed Democratic Hillary Clinton. “That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history.”

Buffett struck an optimistic tone in the wide-ranging letter, which largely focused on what contributed to his conglomerate’s $24 billion profit last year and discussed Berkshire’s prospects for the future. The letter also touched on climate change.

Buffett defended the lending practices at its mobile home unit, Clayton Homes, and Berkshire’s association with the 3G

Capital investment firm.

Clayton’s lending practices have been questioned over the past year in stories

by The Seattle Times and The Center for Public Integrity that suggested the company was using predatory lending practices.

Buffett said Clayton follows state and federal regulation and retains ownership of every mortgage it finances. He included a copy of a disclosure form Clayton uses to inform customers about lending options.

Berkshire teamed up with 3G Capital to buy Kraft Foods and Heinz – and promptly announced layoffs at both firms.

Buffett said Berkshire always has craved efficiency and tends to buy lean companies, while 3G looks for investments that need costs reduced.

Edward Jones analyst Jim Shanahan said Saturday the fact that Buffett devoted space to defending 3G and Clayton suggests he’s still hearing criticisms. Buffett has addressed both topics at shareholder meetings in the past.

The letter also noted Berkshire shareholders will be asked this year to vote on a proposal requiring the company to prepare a report on the threat climate chance poses for its insurance operation.

Buffett said it’s reasonable to worry about climate change’s effect on the

world, but it shouldn’t hurt insurance companies because policy prices are set annually based on that year’s risks.

“As a homeowner in a low-lying area, you may wish to consider moving,” Buffett said. “But when you are thinking only as a shareholder of a major insurer, climate change should not be on your list of worries.”

Buffett said change can creates challenges for Berkshire. For instance, he said, its BNSF railroad is certain to haul less coal in the future and Geico insurance could be hurt by driverless cars.

He said Berkshire’s businesses will adapt just as the company did when its original Berkshire Hathaway textile operation failed.

He said Berkshire has an advantage in that it can invest in a variety of industries through its subsidiaries, which agreed to 29 smaller acquisitions worth $634 million last year.

Buffett’s letter is one of the most wellread documents in the business world each year because of his successful track record and his knack for explaining complicated subjects in simple terms.

The 85-year-old Buffett has said he has no plans to retire, and he offered no new hints about his future in Saturday’s letter – other than to joke about being 100 years old when he announce Geico’s latest successes.

HARMON ON BOARD FOR 2 MORE YEARS OF ‘NCIS’

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2016

NEW YORK – There’s no end in sight for CBS’ long-running mega-hit “NCIS.” The network said Monday it has renewed the series for two more seasons, and that series star and executive producer Mark Harmon has signed a new two-year deal of his own.

The action-crime series, now in its 13th season, remains the most popular drama on TV. This season it is averaging more than 20 million viewers each week.

“NCIS” premiered in 2003. During the 2009-10 season, it clinched its status as TV’s top-rated scripted drama series.

Judge wants legal filing on Cosby defamation case

Oscars get 34.3 million viewers, lowest rating since 2008 NEW YORK – Academy Awards viewership dipped to its lowest level since 2008 in a year where the movie industry’s ability to reflect the nation’s diversity was a central issue.

The Nielsen company said Monday preliminary estimates showed 34.3 million people watched Sunday night’s telecast, where “Spotlight” won best picture. Last year’s show was seen by 37.3 million people.

Since 1990, only two Academy Awards telecasts had fewer viewers: in 2008, when “No Country For Old Men” won best picture, and in 2004, when “Chicago” was honored. The peak came when “Titanic” won a boatload of awards in 1998 and 55 million people tuned in.

The paucity of minority nominees this year led to calls for a boycott among some black stars, including Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee. But Nielsen did not immediately have any ethnic breakdown of Oscar viewership. Generally, the popularity of movies being honored tends to be the biggest factor in whether the audience for the live telecast is up or down.

Chris Rock, in his second time hosting, hardly stayed away from the diversity issue. He peppered the audience with his first three jokes on the topic within 25 seconds.

The most recent awards shows, the Golden Globes and Grammys, also saw ratings declines. The Globes, which honor film and television, were seen by 18.5 million people, down from 19.3 million in 2015. The Grammy telecast hit a seven-year low in viewership. Many years, the Oscars are TV’s biggest event after the Super Bowl. The final half hour of ABC’s pre-show telecast was watched by 22.2 million people, down from 23.8 million last year, Nielsen said.

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Monday delayed ruling on Bill Cosby’s motion to dismiss a defamation case filed by model Janice Dickinson over her allegations that the comedian drugged and raped her in 1982.

Dickinson sued Cosby in May over his denial of her claims. She said his former attorney wrote letters to news outlets denying her allegations and implying the organizations could be sued if they used the claims in stories.

Dickinson also said she tried to include the account in a 2002 memoir, but her publisher refused.

On Monday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Debre Katz Weintraub delayed a ruling until March 29 and ordered attorneys to file new briefs on whether the denial by Cosby’s former lawyer constituted a legal communication about possible litigation.

‘Stop clicking around’ gets support with Derulo concert

MCLEAN, Va. – Heads down and batteries drained. People around the world are too busy clicking around.

On Saturday, Hilton Worldwide raised heads and recharged thousands of San Diego music fans with an energy-popping concert, featuring award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Derulo outside of Hilton San Diego Bayfront.

The concert, which was one of seven being

held at hotels within the Hilton global portfolio this year, highlighted the benefits of being an HHonors member – from exclusive room discounts, innovative tools and personalized once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The concert brought to life the spirit and excitement of Hilton’s recently launched “Stop Clicking Around” marketing campaign.

Derulo surprised fans a week ago announcing the concert via Twitter and Facebook. The day of the concert, Hilton ambassadors took to the streets of San Diego, inviting locals and visitors distracted by their phones to unplug and pick up free tickets to the concert.

Comedian Katt Williams arrested on battery charge

GAINESVILLE, Ga. – Comedian Katt Williams was arrested Monday on a battery charge in Georgia after a store employee told police that Williams punched him during an argument.

Gainesville police officers responded to an assault call at a pool supply store around 11:30 a.m. and found Williams outside “lying on the ground with his hands behind his back as though he was ready to go to jail,” Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said.

A store employee told officers Williams, who was in the store with two women, began arguing with the employee and threw a pair of goggles at him, Holbrook said. Williams then went behind the counter and punched the employee at least once, Holbrook said.

The cause of the argument wasn’t immediately clear.

GOVERNORS BALL: After hours on the red carpet and a three-and-a-half hour telecast, Academy Awards guests are ready for some food when the show ends.

That’s why the first stop for many is the Governors Ball, the Oscars’ official after-party, held just upstairs from where the show takes place.

Benicio del Toro snacked on pizza as he snaked through the party. “The Revenant” cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, enjoyed some strawberries, his new Oscar by his side. Steven Spielberg opted for liquid refreshment (a Heineken), which he sipped on while speaking with supporting actor winner Mark Rylance, who gleefully posed with his trophy.

Meanwhile, Tobey Maguire chatted with Bryan Cranston, and Common smiled for a photo with fans. Wolfgang Puck catered the party, serving mini-burgers, smoked-salmon Oscars, caviar-topped baked potatoes and

China debuts hottest phones you’ve never heard of at wireless show

SEOUL, South Korea – Move over, Apple and Samsung. The next big smartphone might be from little-known Chinese brands such as TCL and OPPO. Along with other Chinese phone makers such as Huawei and Xiaomi, Chinese brands have surpassed Samsung in China and are encroaching on Apple’s turf. In the coming years, analysts forecast these cheap Android phones with not-so-cheap features likely will attract more budget-conscious customers in Europe and even in Samsung’s and Apple’s home markets, South Korea and the United States.

Chinese phone makers made their global ambitions known at last week’s Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei and TCL vied to steal the spotlight from Samsung and LG, both of which announced new high-end phones at the show. Xiaomi, which typically launches phones in China, previewed the Mi 5 phone in Barcelona.

“The Chinese smartphone vendors have a very unique feature – it is the price,” said Shu On Kwok, editor of AndroidPIT, a website that tracks Android developments. “You get the same features as an LG or a Samsung smartphone has hardware-wise, but for a lower price.”

The Chinese brands already have taken their toll on Samsung. Although it’s still the largest smartphone maker in the world, Samsung no longer is among the top five phone makers in China, according to market research firms IDC and Counterpoint Technology. Profits from the mobile business have plunged to less than half of what it was in its heyday. Apple’s sales in China rose in the fourth quarter, but its growth was outshined by Huawei.

But bad news for manufacturers is good news for consumers.

Many of these Chinese companies sell decent phones for less than $200, compared with about $650 for an iPhone or high-end Samsung Galaxy phone. In other words, for the same price, customers can buy three or four smartphones with decent cameras and screens.

Chinese makers can keep prices low by reducing the profit margin and turning to cheaper components that are a year or two old. That means highend phones still take better pictures and have sleeker, thinner designs. But

A man holds his smart phone at the Mobile World Congress wireless show, in Barcelona, Spain. phone innovation has slowed, and the advances appear marginal to many consumers. A Huawei photo taken in good light often looks just as good as an iPhone or Samsung shot when displayed on a small phone screen.

Melissa Chau, senior research manager at IDC, said Chinese companies are catching up on phone design and quality even more quickly than Samsung did a few years ago.

“Samsung was a fast follower in terms of innovation,” Chau said.

“These Chinese players, they are even faster.”

Having succeeded in China, these phone makers are looking elsewhere to grow. OPPO, China’s fourth-largest smartphone maker according to IDC, is marketing aggressively in southeast Asia. Xiaomi already sells phones in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

At the Barcelona show, Huawei executive Adam Joshua said while the company’s focus has been on emerging markets, it also has eyes on “the European market, Australia and, obviously, the last big one, the U.S.” Analysts said Huawei and Xiaomi

likely will steal customers from Apple and Samsung in their strongholds as some budget-conscious consumers seek to upgrade their phones without financial pressure.

When South Koreans were just starting to buy smartphones, many upgraded frequently to get longer-lasting batteries, sharper cameras and larger screens.

Now fewer consumers care whether they have the latest technologies, said Oh Bong Yeon, a 38-year-old South Korean. They may even wait several months until the price drops. Although Oh has the iPhone 6, he said he would buy Huawei’s flagship smartphone if the company starts selling it in South Korea.

Raphael Rashid, 28, a British citizen living in Seoul, loves his Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, which his friend bought for him in China for about $120. Before Xiaomi, Rashid used a $150 Huawei smartphone for about a year.

“For a thousand dollars, I can get five new phones in the space of two years,” he said. “I’ll always have the latest phone.”

Much of the growth comes from consumers who feel comfortable buying phones directly from manufacturers online, rather than from the wireless carrier. In the U.S., consumers just are starting to warm up to direct online sales, especially as carriers stop offering discounts in exchange for two-year contracts.

Huawei now is the third-largest smartphone maker in the world. Its market share exceeded 7 percent last year, compared with less than 6 percent in 2014, according to IDC. That’s still far behind Samsung’s 23 percent and Apple’s 16 percent, but success doesn’t necessarily mean being No. 1 everywhere.

Even if gaps remain in market share, IDC’s Chau said Chinese companies at least can close the gap in brand reputation in about three years. That’s partly because Apple and Samsung are struggling to stay cool.

She said that while Apple still is the premium brand in China, “it’s been around for a while and people are familiar with it. It lost the extra shine of being the new [thing].”

Breastfeeding pictures were the subject of controversy for years.

Breastfeeding moms protested when images were pulled. In 2009, 11,000

Mastectomy photos

In 2013, more than 20,000 people signed an online petition, led by photographer David Jay and breast-cancer survivor Ann Marie Giannino-Otis, urging Facebook not to ban mastectomy images. Facebook responded with an official policy that permits the vast majority of mastectomy photos.

Giannino-Otis said Friday that while the policy change helped, many mastectomy photos still are flagged by other users and removed by Facebook.

Facebook didn’t respond to requests for comment Friday.

Birth photography

In 2011, Facebook apologized for disabling the account of an Iowa photographer who posted shots of a friend and her newborn moments after birth; the images partly showed her friend’s breasts, but not her nipples.

Laura Eckert’s photography business, New Creation Photography & Design, specializes in pictures of pregnant women and the first moments of a baby’s life. Facebook emailed Eckert to apologize and say that disabling the

Frederic Durand-Baissas, a 57-year-old Parisian teacher and art lover whose Facebook account was suspended five years ago without notice, speaks Feb. 12 during his interview with the Associated Press in Paris. Facebook lost a crucial legal battle as a Paris court ruled the social network can be sued in France over its decision to remove the account of a French user who posted a photo of a famous 19th-century nude painting. account had been in error.

Artwork

Facebook’s policy allows “photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.”

Yet many users have run into trouble after posting art containing nudity.

Frederic Durand-Baissas, the teacher whose account was suspended, had

posted Gustave Courbet’s 1866 nude painting “The Origin of the World.”

Artist Jerry Saltz said in a column for New York magazine’s Vulture blog he lost his account after posting graphic images from medieval art. And in January, a Facebook account for the Christopher Stout gallery in New York was suspended after posting an image of an artist sitting topless on a toilet.

How to handle increasing tech support scams Tech support scams are nothing new. The practice of cold-calling consumers and pretending to offer tech support has long plagued Windows users, but lately it’s spread to Macs, as well as iPhone, iPad and Android users.

The scam goes like this: Someone contacts you, claiming to have detected errors on your computer. This could be a voice call or an online link distributed via email, ads or messages on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The scammers want to trick you into granting remote access into your computer. They’ll use every excuse imaginable. One tactic is to scare you with fake errors or virus warnings.

Sometimes, they’ll talk you through opening Windows Event Viewer or Mac System logs, pretending the messages prove your computer is broken. Event logs, though cryptic, are a normal part of your computer’s operations.

Meanwhile, the scammers use the remote access to install secret back

TECH Triona Guidry doors onto your computer, which they later will use to install malware, keyloggers and other unwanted software.

They’ll then promise to “fix” your computer for a fee. Some will try to upsell you security software or other solutions. Thus, they obtain your credit card information and the back door into your computer.

At this point, your computer is compromised. It can be used to distribute viruses, hijack accounts, mine online currency and even steal your identity.

You might never know, either.

An antivirus scan might not detect anything because once inside, the scammers’ tools operate under the radar. It’s extraordinarily difficult to get rid of them without reinstalling from scratch.

A separate scam is ransomware, in which hackers encrypt your computer’s data unless you pay money as a ransom. Ransomware also displays an error message, but in this case, the warning is all too real. If you don’t pay, your data may be deleted. There is some debate as to whether it’s better to pay or refuse. Either way, your best bet is to have current backups that are clean of infection.

It is possible to avoid tech support scams.

First, avoid allowing remote access into your computer. Microsoft, Apple and other companies don’t cold-call their customers offering tech support.

If you need help, call your manufacturer’s support line directly. When hiring a tech support specialist, you should ask for their qualifications and client references to make sure the person is reliable.

If you’re using an older computer, you’re especially vulnerable. Windows XP no longer can run current antivirus or other protections. Windows 7

users eventually will be in the same boat and should plan to upgrade. I also recommend that Mac users on 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or earlier plan their upgrades. iPhone and iPad users are advised to install iOS9, but those users should make sure older devices can handle it first. Malware has been a particular problem on Android lately. Users should be on the latest version if their devices are compatible. Don’t forget antivirus software for your mobile devices.

As always, you should maintain current antivirus and software updates, review security settings and avoid clicking links in emails and ads.

Remember, tech support scams can affect you on smartphones and tablets, as well as PCs and Macs.

NEW YORK – What are Facebook’s rules for posting nude images?

The question is at the forefront again after a French court ruled a French art teacher can sue the social media service after it suspended his Facebook account. Although Facebook hasn’t given a reason, the account suspension came after he posted an image of a classical painting featuring a female nude.

Facebook’s rules on nudity have evolved over time. The latest community-standards policy, from March 2015, says Facebook restricts photos of genitals or fully exposed buttocks, as well as some images of breasts if they include the nipple. But Facebook says it allows photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring.

“We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content – particularly because of their cultural background or age,” the policy states.

Here’s what that means in practice:

people staged a virtual “nurse-in,” replacing their profile photos with nursing ones. It’s not clear when Facebook’s policy changed internally, but about two years ago the policy wording changed to specifically allow photos of nursing mothers.

Assisted living benefits seniors Dear Dr. K: We’ve finally convinced my mother to move to an assisted living facility. After spending the past five decades in her current house, she is very nervous about the move. What can we, and she, do to make the transition easier?

Dear Reader: Assisted living facilities are designed for people who can’t live on their own because they need help with the tasks of everyday living. The facilities generally provide meals, help with taking medication, housekeeping, laundry and activities. They are not meant for people who need round-the-clock nursing care.

No matter how clear the need, moving from one’s home to an assisted living facility can be emotionally challenging.

Realizing this, assisted living facilities often have people on staff who can help people like your mother to manage their feelings and make the transition easier.

It shouldn’t be hard for your mother to physically adjust to an assisted living facility. The environment is designed to meet the needs of an aging body. There are no steps to navigate. The bathrooms are adapted for walkers. There won’t be any more reaching for heavy pots and pans if the facility dining room provides meals.

Your mother might feel comforted, too, if she brings personal items to her new living space. This may include artwork, family photos or favorite furniture.

The new environment will allow your mother to increase her physical activity and wellness. Assisted living facilities always have exercise classes, such as tai chi or chair yoga, and many offer physical therapy on campus. It’s important to learn which services are available and take advantage of them.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff I also would encourage your mother to get to know others at her facility. For almost anyone, in any environment, the more you interact with others, the more you’ll feel at home. An easy way to meet others is to take part in the many activities offered at the facility. There often is a huge variety, such as painting and memoir writing. And there likely will be outings to museums, concerts and sporting events. Taking part will help your mother feel engaged and purposeful – and less forlorn about the home she left behind.

I once had a patient who became a widow in her late 70s. She had lived in one house since she was a child: Her parents had given her and her new husband the family home and moved to an apartment.

But she was having trouble in her old three-level house – with the stairs, with handling cookware, with reaching things in the cabinets. Her children found an assisted living facility.

As you’d imagine, she hated the thought of leaving the only home she had ever known. However, she made the move. A year later she said to me, “I loved my old home. But I realize I was starting to hate it, too. Every time something about it defeated me, I remembered my earlier life – and felt very old. I feel younger now.”

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m 39 and seven months’ pregJeanne nant with my Phillips husband’s only child. Since becoming pregnant, I have become somewhat withdrawn due to depression. My doctor prescribed Paxil, but my husband won’t allow me to take it. I don’t leave the house unless I absolutely need to because he accuses me of cheating on him daily.

Two nights ago, he took a single female friend out to dinner, and they were gone for five hours. It hurt my feelings because in my view it was disrespectful on both their parts. When they got back, I was sitting outside and she wouldn’t even come to say goodbye to me. When I asked my husband why I hadn’t been invited, he said, “Neither of us wanted you there.”

In his eyes, he has done nothing wrong. He tells me I’m crazy and I need mental help. Am I wrong for being so upset? – Not Crazy In Texas Dear Not Crazy: Not at all. It appears you are married to a controlling, emotionally abusive man who may be cheating on you. One of the hallmarks of philanderers is they will accuse the innocent partner of cheating. Feeling depressed during a pregnancy under these circumstances isn’t surprising. (If you felt any other way, you wouldn’t be normal.)

That your doctor would prescribe an antidepressant and your husband would “not allow” you to take it is alarming. If you have close friends and family, I urge you to tell them what’s going on. And while you’re at it, contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline (www. thehotline.org or 1-800-799-7233) because you might need help to get safely away.

Dear Abby: I live in a situation where my husband, our two kids and I share a home with my parents, two sisters and younger brother.

Sometimes it seems crowded because there is no privacy and a lack of respect.

Lately, I am having a problem with my sister. Despite the fact she and my family share the upstairs level of the home, she continues to walk around nude or in her undergarments throughout the day because she “hates” wearing clothes. At various times, my family members and I have had uncomfortable encounters with her over this. I have talked to her about it repeatedly, but she refuses to cooperate.

I think it’s rude, inconsiderate and inappropriate, not to mention a completely avoidable problem. What do you think? Am I wrong for being upset her behavior doesn’t change and the message doesn’t seem to get through to her?

– Clothes-Minded Dear Clothes-Minded: I agree your sister’s behavior is inappropriate. She should not be parading around in a state of undress in front of your husband and children. Because she has chosen to ignore your requests, enlist the help of your parents to get the message across to her.

It’s their roof she’s under, and perhaps they will have better luck.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll need to show more discipline and courage if you want to take advantage of what’s available to you this year. Don’t leave anything to chance or rely on others to take care of your responsibilities. If you pace your every move, you will not be disappointed.

tape you face. Trust your judgment and protect yourself against loss or injury.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t let stubbornness stand in your way. A day trip will present an opportunity that will encourage you to use your skills diversely. Someone will disappoint you.

a foolproof plan in place before you try to sway someone to your way of thinking.

DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY AIDES Sheltered Village, Woodstock

Eric Hoffer, a philosopher and author who died in 1983, said, “The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.”

Many bridge players find the hardest arithmetic to master is counting winners and losers. Since the numbers are not that high, it shouldn’t be beyond anyone. It just requires a willingness to spend the time to do it. But anyone who succeeds becomes a tough player immediately.

In today’s deal, how should South play in seven spades after West leads a trump?

The auction suggests that the author was looking at all of the cards!

However, as I mentioned yesterday, when you have a two-suiter and find a fit in the first suit you bid, upgrade your hand. Here, South should see the slam potential if North has both red-suit aces. But as Blackwood will not help, South starts with a fourclub control-bid. Then, after three more control-bids confirm that North does have those two aces, South leaps majestically to the grand slam.

West, anticipating declarer’s need of ruffing winners, sensibly starts with a trump. (South must have a club void.)

Declarer has six side-suit winners (five hearts and one diamond), so needs seven trump tricks: four winners on the board and three club ruffs in his hand.

South takes the first trick on the board and ruffs a club high. He continues with a heart to the ace, another club ruff high, a diamond to the ace, and a third club ruff high.

Then he draws trumps and claims. It is a textbook dummy reversal.

Fremd stops Huntley

Red Raiders’ seniors denied 2nd trip to state

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com PALATINE – Huntley seniors Ali Andrews and Kayla Barreto dreamed of one more opportunity to represent their school in this weekend’s Class 4A girls basketball state tournament at Illinois State’s Redbird AreJohnsburg falls na in Normal.

They went as short of state freshmen, finished fourth and helped Chicago North lead the Red RaidLawndale holds off ers to more than Johnsburg, 50-41, 110 victories in four to win the Class 3A years, capturing three Fox Valley Concordia University Supersectional Conference Valley Division titles and girls basketball setting the school game. Page 12 singles-season record for wins four times along the way.

On Monday, Andrews and Barreto – along with seniors Paige Renkosik, Lexi Lowitzki, Danielle Nichols and Teagan Papka – watched through a combination of teary eyes and blank stares as their high school basketball careers ended and Fremd’s state-title aspirations continued.

Andrews was forced to watch from the bench after the 6-foot-2 forward and Illinois commit fouled out with 2:42 left.

To her credit, Andrews didn’t hang her head as Fremd eliminated Huntley in back-to-back seasons with a 48-36 victory in the Class 4A Fremd Supersectional, ending a streak of 18 straight wins for Huntley.

The Vikings (30-2) advance to play Chicago Whitney Young in the state semifinals at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Whitney Young beat Homewood-Flossmoor, 7674, in overtime in the Mother McCauley Supersectional.

“It’s just been an unbelievable journey this year with these kids,” said Huntley coach Steve Raethz, who is 304198 in 17 years at Huntley.

“As disappointed as they are, this one loss doesn’t define them. And it starts with our six seniors. Their hard work and leadership really elevated the play in our program. ... In particular what Kayla, Ali and Paige have meant

Continued from page 2 “We were ready, and we knew what they were going to do,” Barreto said. “I thought we definitely scared them a little bit. They weren’t tested like that before, but they answered the bell. ... We were kind of resting on our laurels (in the third quarter), which is not good. We needed to come out even stronger, and we didn’t come out ready to play.”

Huntley’s quick start, which has become a theme this postseason, quieted Fremd’s student section – which erupted 10 seconds into the game with a “This game’s over” chant after an opening 3-pointer by Grace Tworek – by ending the first quarter on a 10-2 run.

Andrews had six of those 10 points but was held scoreless in the second with Tworek (13 points) and Bryana Hopkins – both 6-foot-2 and Division I commits – doing most of the defending.

Tworek’s three-point play gave Fremd a 19-18 lead at halftime, and Huntley never got it back. Brianna Lewis also scored 13 points for the Vikings, including eight in the third.

performance training program.”

MCO hosted an open house for people to see the new Parabolic lab Monday. Green Bay Packers linebacker Nathan Palmer, a Simeon grad, and former Bears linebacker Lance Briggs were on hand, chatting and taking pictures with those attending.

Mariani was strength and conditioning coach at Illinois State when Palmer played there. Palmer was impressed with the new setup.

“It’s a nice facility. From the outside looking in you wouldn’t expect this, but they have top-flight equipment, they have a nice turf field, they have physical therapy,” Palmer said.

“In the offseason, you pretty much do your own thing. If Matt wants to get me in, I’ll come. I have my own place I train at, but the body does get used to doing certain things over and over.

This would be a good switch-up for a week or so.”

Mariani hopes to add college players aspiring to play in the NFL to their client list in the next year. He wants to attract Midwest college players to prepare for next year’s NFL Scouting Combine, which is held in late February in Indianapolis. Mariani, Cox and Parabolic representatives were in Indianapolis from Thursday through Sunday watching workouts at the combine and making contacts for the future.

Brian Martin, who joined as Parabolic’s NFL program director and business development leader last year,

“We came out really hard, and that’s been our focus all year,” said Andrews, who had a game-high 20 points and finishes her four-year varsity career with 2,548 points, a McHenry County record for girls or boys.

“You cannot give up that many points to a really good team, especially the No. 1 team in the state. They’ll take advantage of it and they did.”

Junior Morgan Clausen finished with 10 points for the Raiders, also grabbing 12 rebounds and blocking two shots. Renkosik had five points and junior Maddy Moffett added one. Huntley finished 11 of 41 from the field (26.8 percent) and 14 of 21 from the foul line.

The Raiders are 111-21 since the start of 2012-13, but Monday’s loss left them one win short of the team’s second state appearance in four seasons.

“I didn’t want to end my career that way (with five fouls) at Huntley, but it happens,” Andrews said. “Just got to get through it and move on to bigger and better things. ... I’m just so proud of everyone in this program, especially the team this year. Raethz has done a really good job with everybody at the younger levels. He’s worked every level as hard as they can, and everybody has worked hard on their game.”

also was at the combine. In 23 years as a trainer before joining Parabolic, Martin said he trained about 200 NFL players, including Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco and Bears tight end Zach Miller.

“The Midwest is an area we really want to go after,” Martin said. “This year, if we were up and running in time, we would have had a few. There’s a real window there we’re trying to create for the NFL Combine, as well as performance all the way down to the youth level and adults.”

Although the workout schedules might differ, there could be times next year when local middle and high school athletes would see college players preparing for the NFL Combine or draft. Mariani said the combine preparatory program would be for three months and players often stay in hotels near the gym to work out every day.

Sessions for local athletes typically run for an hour, and although there could be 10 in a session, each athlete has his or her own individual workout to follow.

McKnight plans on working out at Parabolic until he leaves for Iowa City in June.

“Everything is specific to me,” McKnight said. “A lot of places you’re in a group setting or with a couple other guys. It’s specific to whatever I need to improve on, and they change the program around. They look at it from all aspects. It’s really good.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Romeo McKnight would prefer that he never had injured his right knee, although six months after tearing his ACL, and three-plus months post-surgery, he is realizing one benefit.

The Crystal Lake Central senior finished his physical therapy about a month ago at CPC-McHenry County Orthopaedics, then transitioned into another program on the building’s top floor, its Parabolic Sports Performance Lab. In the few weeks McKnight has worked with Parabolic general manager Matt Mariani and his training staff, he is hooked.

“I love it. They’re great,” said McKnight, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound defensive end who signed last month to play football at Iowa. “They really know what they’re doing. I’m making great progress. In the last month, my numbers have gone up 100 pounds on all my lifts (with legs). I’m ahead of schedule. I’m making really good progress.”

Parabolic opened at MCO on Feb. 1 and has about a dozen clients, mostly middle and high school athletes. Dr. William Cox of MCO said when the business merged with Centegra Health Systems last year, they looked at adding Parabolic to MCO’s facility.

Parabolic’s other three gyms are in New Jersey. Centegra and MCO saw

it as an opportunity to have their patients covered from treatment or surgery through physical therapy and beyond. Those working out on the Parabolic programs will be uninjured athletes or those post-physical therapy such as McKnight.

“It’s a good fit with the therapy, the speed and agility and the orthopedics all in one place,” Cox said.

Parabolic strives to provide an individualized workout program Romeo for each client, using McKnight state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Parabolic owner Steve Frohlich started the business in 2009 and chose the name for describing something that rises quickly.

“We evaluated a million opportunities,” Frohlich said. “The fit here is awesome. Matt approached us and it was a no-brainer.”

Frohlich said the physical therapists and trainers can learn a lot from each other working so closely together.

“We focus on the individual level,” Mariani said. “It’s not a cookie-cutter program, by any means, so when they come in, we look at any deficiencies and imbalances they have as an athlete. We build our program on top of that and collaborate with the physical therapists and physicians within Centegra’s network to make that ultimate

Belvidere turned a 21-12 halftime lead into a 33-18 advantage by the end of the third and went on to beat Woodstock North, 48-30, in a Class 3A Woodstock Regional quarterfinal at Woodstock.

Reports: Brady agrees to 2-year extension with Pats

Prairie Ridge’s Ethan Farnam competes in the Crystal Lake South Regional on Oct. 6 at RedTail Golf Club in Lakewood. Farnam has committed to play golf for Northwestern.

PRAIRIE RIDGE BOYS GOLF

Farnam commits to Northwestern

By ALEX KANTECKi

akantecki@shawmedia.com Throughout last summer and well into his record-setting junior season, Prairie Ridge’s Ethan Farnam showcased his rising golf talents in front of college scouts, sometimes with multiple eyes and electronic devices – such as iPads – watching and recording his every swing and move.

He never really got used to all of the attention, but the sweet-swinging lefty didn’t let it affect his game or his results.

Farnam started the year as one of 312 players worldwide competing in the U.S. Amateur Championship at Olympia Fields – the nation’s most prestigious amateur tournament – and ended it with a runner-up finish at the Class 3A state tournament, the best finish in Prairie Ridge history (breaking his then-record 17th-place finish as a sophomore).

He won’t have to deal with the pressure of watchful college scouts any longer.

Farnam, the reigning Northwest Herald Boys Golfer of the Year, committed to play college golf at Northwestern two weeks ago and confirmed his decision by phone Monday.

“What’s really nice is I don’t have to play in all the junior tournaments nationally anymore, because I don’t really have to showcase myself on a national level,” Farnam said. “It’s definitely a relief because I really wanted to commit before the spring season, just so I

don’t have that weight on my shoulders. Now I’m free to just play the sport, which is awesome.”

Northwestern was one of Farnam’s top choices, in addition to Stanford, which is close to his hometown of Berkeley, California.

Farnam wasn’t sure whether his first-semester grades would be enough to get him into Stanford, however, so the decision to go to Northwestern outweighed his other options, he said. Farnam had offers from Iowa, Arkansas and Virginia. He also was looking at Purdue and Vanderbilt.

Farnam is familiar with Northwestern’s golf program and facilities and goes to Wildcat Golf Academy – which is co-founded by Pat Goss, Northwestern’s Director of Golf and Player Development and a Crystal Lake Central alum – at least twice a week to “keep my short game on point over the winter,” he said.

Goss was one of the college scouts following Farnam during his junior season. Farnam said he wanted to go to the “best academic school with the best golf program combined.”

Northwestern offered that, Farnam said, and he got the blessing from his dad, Kurt, and mom, Lisa.

“They’ve been really supportive. My mom and dad have definitely helped me see things more rationally,” Farnam said. “They have really helped me from the money standpoint, just getting the financial numbers … so that was great. They are very happy.”

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery runs for a first down after catching a Jay Cutler pass in the fourth quarter against Washington on Dec. 13 at Soldier Field. The Bears used the franchise tag on Jeffery on Monday.

BEARS

Nonexclusive tag placed on Jeffery

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears placed the franchise tag on receiver Alshon Jeffery. Tuesday was the deadline for teams to use the oneyear tender.

With a $155.3 million salary cap, the franchise tag for wide receivers is worth $14.6 million, which would be Jeffery’s 2016 salary if he signs the tender. The two sides have until July 15 to work toward a long-term contract, otherwise Jeffery would be on the one-year tag.

The Bears used the nonexclusive tag on Jeffery, which means he can talk to other teams once the league year opens March 9, however, the Bears have the right to match any offer and would receive two first-round picks as compensation should Jeffery sign elsewhere, an unlikely situation.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager Ryan Pace said the Bears were “aggressively” negotiating with Jeffery, and despite a Friday report that the team had decided to use the tag, the two sides still were talking.

By using the tag, the Bears prevent Jeffery from hitting the open market, where he would have been far-andaway the top receiver available. The

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news.

26-year-old had 54 catches for 807 yards and four touchdowns in an injury shortened season. He missed the entire preseason because of a calf injury, then groin and hamstring injuries kept him out of seven contests.

Pace and coach John Fox believe they have the tools available to help Jeffery stay healthy, and that 2015 was an anomaly after Jeffery played back-to-back 16game seasons, going over 1,000 receiving yards in both campaigns.

“I don’t think it’s fair just to take one segment of it and try to define him by that, whether that’s good or bad, regardless of what player I’m talking about,” Fox said. “But we’ve seen enough of him, albeit that we’d like to have seen him more, but that’s part of football and we’re willing to take that risk. When he’s been healthy, we’ve liked his production and what he brings to our team.”

8 BULLS

Rose’s return vs. Heat uncertain Butler might be back by Saturday

By HERB GOULD

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – The Bulls are unsure yet whether Derrick Rose will return from a three-game absence Tuesday night at Miami.

But Rose, who will be a game-time decision with right hamstring tendinitis, is making progress, coach Fred Hoiberg said Monday.

“Derrick made it through a lot of practice,” Hoiberg said. “He’s feeling better. When I worked him out Saturday morning, he was in a lot of pain. [Sunday], he worked out again and he had less pain. [Monday] morning, he got a good warm-up in, got a good workout before practice and participated in most of it. That’s a good sign, that he hasn’t had a setback after some good hard workouts.”

Nikola Mirotic and Jimmy Butler worked out before practice. Although Mirotic (appendectomy) faces a long road back, Butler could return for Saturday’s home game against Houston after

The Bulls’ Derrick Rose plays with his son P.J. Rose, 3, before a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 21 at the United Center. testing his injured left knee in Chicago while the Bulls are on the road.

“Jimmy is going to get some work-

outs in, play some 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 while he’s back here,” Hoiberg said. “When we get back, the plan is for him to hopefully practice with us and test it and see how he’s feeling.”

Is Saturday realistic?

“We’ll see how it goes,” the coach said. “[Butler] would only have one practice. His big thing is getting comfortable and confident he can explode off that left leg, which is his jumping leg. If he feels great in practice, I wouldn’t rule Saturday out.”

That said, Monday vs. Milwaukee seems more likely.

As the Bulls prepared for their twogame Florida swing, Mike Dunleavy, who’s settling in after missing the first 49 games of the season because of back surgery, expressed confidence the team can get some things done this spring.

Merely making the playoffs is in question at this point. Going into Monday’s games, the Bulls were in a virtual tie with Charlotte and Detroit for the last two Eastern Conference playoff slots.

They also were only 21/2 games behind Miami, which occupied the No. 4 playoff berth.

“We’ll see,” Dunleavy, who has been back for nine games, said when asked whether they can overcome their inju-

ries to reach that No. 4 slot. “The good news is, we’re close in the standings. Although we haven’t played great, we’re still in it. That’s the positive of it. Now we’ve to go out there and make it happen.”

Even with a 28-minutes restriction on Dunleavy that could change, Hoiberg likes what he’s getting from the 6-foot-9 veteran, who returned Feb. 6, the day after Butler went down.

“A lot of [the minutes plan] is based on how Mike’s feeling,” Hoiberg said.

“We obviously want to have him – he’s such an important part to what we’re doing. He and Jimmy still haven’t played a minute on the floor together. Hopefully, when we get Jimmy back, Mike’s in a good spot and we can make a run.”

While saying, “I feel really good. My legs are getting underneath me,” Dunleavy, 35, declined to stir the minutes pot.

“I’m cool with the minutes I’m playing now,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll continue to build on it, but I’m at a good amount right now where I feel like I can have a good impact on the game. We get Jimmy back and hopefully we can keep everybody’s minutes down and be ready and fresh for the stretch run of the playoffs.”

BLACKHAWKS

Bowman finds pieces to go with Teravainen

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Teuvo Teravainen never complained.

He played on the left side, even though it didn’t suit his game. He played on the right side, even though he’s a center. He played on a checking line, even though he’s a gifted offensive talent. He filled in for teammates when they were sick or injured. He was in an out of the power play, in and out of the penalty kill. He did everything he was asked to do, and did it well.

And now he’s getting his reward.

Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman went out and got Teravainen two wingers to play with in Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann. Suddenly, Teravainen’s back home at center. And suddenly, he’s on a more offensive-minded line. And if Sunday’s strong effort against the Washington Capitals is any indication, Teravainen got a significant boost from the vote of confidence he received from the Hawks.

“Teuvo is a big part of this,” said Bowman, who made only a minor league trade Monday leading up to the trade deadline, his big moves made on Thursday and Friday. “Sometimes people overlook the fact that more than anybody on our group of forwards, he’s bounced around and had to be the most ver- Teuvo satile guy. That’s not Teravainen easy to do for a young guy who’s trying to get established in the league.”

Teravainen always was unlikely to be dealt. But there’s a difference between being pretty sure you’re sticking around, and being told in no uncertain terms that you’re a centerpiece, a player the team is trying to build around and put in a position to succeed.

“I didn’t think about it at all, pretty much,” Teravainen said. “You never know what happens, but I was really confident I could be here and help this

team, and maybe be, like, the future.

That’s my goal.”

He is a big part of the future, but he’s very much a part of the present, too.

What has separated the Hawks from other teams in recent years has been their depth. Almost every quality team can ice two scoring lines. Usually the third line is a checking line of sorts, and the fourth line plays a limited role. In both 2013 and 2015, the Hawks’ third line was a scoring line – it was Patrick Sharp, Antoine Vermette and Teravainen last season – and the fourth line was a solid checking line capable of playing 12 to 15 minutes a night.

That four-line rotation is crucial during the two-month grind of a Stanley Cup run. And even without Weise, Marian Hossa and Marcus Kruger, the Hawks looked like a real four-line team Sunday for the first time in a long time.

Teravainen played with Fleischmann and Andrew Desjardins, but likely will be with Fleischmann and Weise once Weise’s visa issues are resolved.

On only their fifth shift together,

Fleischmann fed Teravainen with a nifty pass for a great scoring chance in the slot.

“Fleisch was really good [Sunday],” Teravainen said. “I think we made really nice plays out there, and he plays with his head up and he has really nice offensive skills. That’s nice. I think we can really create a lot of things.”

It’s yet another new role for Teravainen. But it’s the one he’s best suited for, and although he’s made himself invaluable as the Hawks’ go-to utility man, he’s hoping this one sticks.

“It’s always nice to have a role you play every night,” Teravainen said.

“But I’ve been playing with pretty much every guy and every line, too, so that’s good for me. I got some experience. I got to play, got to know everybody. [But] of course, it makes it a little easier when you’re always at the same spot.”

Note: The Hawks acquired goaltender Drew MacIntyre from Carolina on Monday in exchange for minor league defenseman Dennis Robertson. MacIntyre will report to Rockford.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

The White Sox’s Todd Frazier takes a swing during batting practice during a spring training workout Friday in Glendale, Ariz.

2; and first-round pick Carson Fulmer allowed two runs on four hits with two strikeouts.

It’s also worth noting right fielder Avisail Garcia got a good jump and ran down a deep fly ball in the right-center field gap.

“In batting practice, I’m trying to read the ball off the bat,” said Garcia, whose defense last season ranked near the bottom at his position. “You have to get better at everything. Going to my left side, right side. When you come to spring training, you want to do better than what you do last year.”

In workouts leading up to the intrasquad, the first break in a week from the daily grind, the team work ethic has “been great,” Ventura said.

“You look around at the infielders and outfielders, we’re seeing guys who’ve played a while and have a little history of doing the right things and playing the game the right way,” Ventura said.

“It’s been impressive.”

Lawrie, the second baseman who is with his third team in three seasons, said the work is all about quality, not quantity.

MESA, Ariz. – He could have felt angry. Maybe even betrayed.

But when Jon Lester saw the Boston Red Sox pursue David Price so much more aggressively this winter than they did their own, homegrown ace a year earlier, what was his response?

After Price signed a record $217 million deal, Lester texted the former division rival Jon Lester and All-Star teammate: “Congratulations. You’re going to love it. If you need anything, I still know a lot of people up there.”

A year earlier, the Red Sox were unwilling to make a final offer within $20 million of the six-year, $155 million deal Lester ultimately accepted from the Cubs – this after a lowball offer the previous spring that soured early negotiations. They eventually traded Lester, a player who places an especially high value on home, family and comfort zone – uprooting him from a place that represented all those things to him.

That was part of the appeal with the Cubs, essentially the second-best comfort zone to him because of the familiar front office run by ex-Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein.

“Everybody has emotions and feelings and loyalty towards certain organizations, and obviously that one is special and unique to me,” said Lester, a second-round pick of the Sox in 2002, who survived a 2006 cancer diagnosis and lengthy treatment to eventually pitch in two World Series for the team.

“I’ll always hold those things high in my career and obviously personally with my family. Both my kids were born there.

“There’s no hard feelings by any means with those people. I still talk to (Red Sox manager) John Farrell. They were a big part of my life. And I’m always grateful for what they did for me, especially back in ’06, ’07.”

And no hard feelings with ownership, he said – “and definitely no hard feelings between me and David. I was more than excited for him to get that deal.”

Lester at one point this offseason talked to Price about signing with the Cubs, he said, before the Cubs dropped out of the megadeal end of the pitching market.

• Tuesday, March 1, 2016

GLENDALE, Ariz. – There’s an emphasis on getting it right in spring training drills and setting a tone early to avoid a poor start. It’s a vibe third baseman Todd Frazier, one of the new White Sox, likes a lot.

“Yes, I do. I love the tone,” said Frazier, who drafted a team in manager Robin Ventura’s office and “captained” it in the first of two intrasquad games against Team Abreu on Monday. “Everybody has a role, everybody is taking accountability for themselves, and it starts right now from Day 1.

“With the intrasquads you can see it, it’s focus. It’s focus time. The ability to understand it’s not offseason anymore. It’s time to go. I see that a lot with these guys.”

It’s not like the Sox are putting a premium on executing drills properly for the first time under Ventura, who is entering his fifth season at the helm. But perhaps this cast of players, with personalities such as Frazier and veterans such as Jimmy Rollins at a key position such as shortstop, will make a difference. The Sox did not play a clean, fundamentally sound brand of ball last year, when they finished 10 games under .500 and looked bad doing it. While general manager Rick Hahn injected offense with Frazier, Brett Lawrie, Alex Avila and Dioner Navarro, he’s relying on players and coaches alike to take it upon themselves to run the bases better, hit the cutoff man and improve individually on defense.

Frazier, who came over in an offseason trade with the Reds, said what he has seen so far is “better” than expected.

“We had these meetings today and yesterday and everybody is talking and everybody is focused on what they need to do,” Frazier said.

In Monday’s intrasquad, Team Abreu walked away with a 5-4 victory. Here are the valuless highlights, which will be long forgotten by Opening Day: Outfielder Daniel Fields, a former Tigers prospect and a waiver claim from the Los Angeles Dodgers, hit a three-run homer against minor leaguer Colin Kleven; Frazier and Lawrie (sacrifice fly) were each 1 for

to get more out of that than doing 50 groundballs and being so tired at the end with bad form. So it’s definitely about the quality over the quantity and refining that.”

Bad quantity? How about the Sox’s 76 wins last season? For what it’s worth, one oddsmaker listed the Sox’s over/under on wins at 80½ games Monday, another way of calling them a sub .500 team.

Who knows? Perhaps a quality spring camp will be the springboard for putting them on the better side of that.

Eaton’s Twitter misstep: Ventura is not a fan of social media. He doesn’t have a Twitter account, although it’s something the Sox have encouraged him to do.

Of course, they know Ventura would steer clear of sensitive topics such as race, politics or religion that could cause a firestorm. Center fielder Adam Eaton commented on Chris Rock’s Academy Awards monologue Sunday night, and found himself apologizing the next morning Monday.

“For me, anytime you get on twitter you’re going to get some backlash, I don’t care what you say,’’ Ventura said. “I prefer they (players) stay off of it.”

Ventura said he’s encouraged players to steer clear social media, seeing, for athletes, mostly bad and little good coming from it.

Eaton said he “felt terrible” about a comment on Twitter, “What does it always have to be about black and white...? #American,” a tweet he late removed from his Twitter feed. Rock’s monologue brought the prevalence of white nominees to the forefront, and Eaton said he “by no means necessary or any stretch of the imagination was I implying anything besides of let’s all be created equal.”

Eaton’s critics said his comment was tone deaf to a deep, complicated and sensitive subject. Eaton said it was misunderstood.

“I enjoy everyone’s company,” Eaton said. “In my baseball world, we have equality. I feel like everybody in this room I respect and love and everyone has an opportunity.

“Again in that sense I am ignorant. But like I said, I feel terrible. I really feel awful.”

Lester: No hard feelings for Red Sox

12 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY SUPERSECTIONAL

Skyhawks run out of tomorrows

Johnsburg falls short of state with loss to North Lawndale

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com RIVER FOREST – The Johnsburg girls basketball team has kept a tradition this season. After each game, coach Brad Frey forgoes the standard postgame speech. Instead, he simply says, “See you at practice tomorrow.”

On Monday, after the Class 3A Concordia University Supersectional, Frey crouched outside the locker room with his hands over his reddened face. The Skyhawks had just fallen one game shy of a trip to the state tournament, losing, 50-41, to Chicago North Lawndale. With the reality sinking in that there would be no more practices, it was finally time for Frey to give a postgame speech.

The coach grasped for words to sum up the season. Johnsburg had gone from a team with only four returning players to a team that tied the school record with 28 wins. The Skyhawks (28-4) won their first regional championship since 2010-11 and then their first sectional championship since 2009-10.

Frey walked into the locker room, where tear-stained faces and awkward laughter awaited him. When the team emerged from the locker room with reddened eyes and smeared mascara, Frey took a minute to look back on the year.

“I didn’t think they were going to be this good,” Frey said. “And they just kept getting better and better and beating people they shouldn’t have. They should be really proud of themselves.

They will go down as one of the best teams that ever played on that court back home in Johnsburg. It was a really special season.”

The final game of that season started with the Skyhawks in an early 6-0 hole. They fought from behind the rest of the game.

Trailing by double digits early in the third quarter, Jazza Johns played with the motivation of a senior down to her last half. She hit a pair of 3s on her way to eight points in the third quarter. Defensively, she blocked three shots in the third quarter and finished with seven for the game.

Johns’ double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds helped pull the Skyhawks within 44-38 with 1:51 remain-

Johnsburg outscored North Lawndale by 10 points in the second half (27 to 17), but could not overcome its early deficit.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Johnsburg shot 35.9 percent from the field in the game to North Lawndale’s 30.2 percent. ing. But North Lawndale hit all eight of its free throws in the final stretch to seal the game.

“I just wanted to put in all the work I could,” Johns said. “I really wanted to win this game. They played hard.

They deserved it.”

Sophomore guard Aannah Interrante also finished the game in double figures for the Skyhawks with 11 points. Junior Dani McCauley scored six points, Kayla Stefka added five and Cortland Sommerfeldt tacked on four.

Junior forward Kimyra McGee paced North Lawndale with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, and freshman Jada Thorpe added 12.

Although it might be too soon to look toward next season, the Skyhawks won’t have to endure the same rebuild they did this season. They lose key leadership and size in Johns. However, out of the other six players in the regular rotation, two are juniors, two are sophomores and two are freshmen.

“If we work on it, we’ll be right back here next year,” junior Dani McCauley said. “We have a lot of young talent coming back next year. I think we’ll be better next year as long as we work on it.”
