Thar’s cards in them thar homes! Geesh, am I jealous! I just heard about a family that was cleaning out their great-grandfather’s home when they found seven uber-rare Ty Cobb baseball cards. The cards had been sitting in a crumpled paper bag for more than a century. Imagine: Ty Cobb x 7! This is the baseball card-collecting equivalent of discovering King Tut’s tomb and then going inside and finding papyrus pharaoh cards of Ramses II. The cool ones where he is riding in his chariot holding a spear. The reason that I am so green-eyed is because I have been searching my entire life for such an epic sports card discovery in the attics of the homes I have lived in. Sure, I found some stuff, but it was nothing earth shattering like the Magnificent Seven Cobbs. But there were some close encounters. For example, I remember when we were first married in 1969 and were renting a little carriage house in Crystal Lake. I discovered the well-hidden entrance to the attic quite by accident and quickly scrambled up to explore it. Creeping into the cramped and pitch-black loft, my trusty rusty flashlight and I desperately searched for anything out of the ordinary. And there it was, a dusty shape lying on the floor in a corner. I scooted over and picked it up. It was an old cigar box. The kind some guy would keep his old baseball cards in. And then he stashed it in the attic. And then, many years later, he died before he told anyone about it. And his house was passed on to his children. And they rented it out. And they didn’t know about the attic. And the new tenant found the cigar box. And he stood there, in the attic, with a flashlight shining onto the box. And he opened it. And he saw six faces staring back at him. Men’s faces. From long ago. And their names were ... “Dutch Masters.” Yep, a picture of the famous cigar guys on the inside lid of the empty box. No Babe Ruth, unless he had long, curly hair and was wearing a three musketeers hat.

My next brush with epic historical sports artifacts was in another house. It was formerly an 1885 schoolhouse converted to a home in 1906. Inside, it had an unusually large cold air return in the entryway. Removing its heavy grill, I quickly realized that the fieldstone shaft was big enough for me to squeeze into. I fabricated a makeshift ladder that carried me down one story to the basement level. Upon descending, I filled a five-gallon bucket with the rubble I found at the bottom and my kids used a rope to pull it up. After about an hour, drenched in sweat, covered with dust and squeezed by claustrophobia, I clambered back to the surface, dragged up through the opening by my wife with that “This is not what I envisioned when I married him” expression on her face. After lying on the floor, gasping for breath like a carp out of water, I pulled myself together and started sifting through the debris. Dust filtered into the air as I carefully examined every handful of potential treasure. But, alas, no Ruth or Cobb or Mantle. Nope, just five gallons of dust and broken dreams. Now we are in another home. It’s a lot newer. This one’s from 1912. And it has a huge attic. Maybe there’s a Honus Wagner waiting for me in a bag under a floorboard. Then again, at this juncture in my life, I’d settle for a Pretzels Getzien or a Nick “Tomato Face” Cullop.

Ken Brown and his wife, Maria, hold a photo of their son, Steven, 22, on Friday at their Crystal Lake home. Steven, a heroin addict, died from an overdose at their home Feb. 7.

‘THIS WAS OUR DELUSION’ CL couple dispel myths of addiction after son’s heroin OD death

By KATIE DAHLSTROM n kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

aria Brown didn’t notice him at first. Her son Steven, a heroin addict, was crumpled like a ball of clothes at the foot of his bed, a needle nearby. Only 30 minutes had passed since Maria and Ken Brown had last seen their son climbing the stairs to his bedroom on the second floor of their Crystal Lake home. But it was too late. Six boxes of naloxone couldn’t revive him. His pulse came back after more than 30 minutes of CPR from paramedics, but it wasn’t enough for the doctors at the hospital where he lingered for a day. Steven Brown died after midnight Feb. 7. He was 22 years old. “We didn’t get to be the parents of the kid that made it,” a tearful Maria Brown said from her kitchen table. “We didn’t get to be the parents of the kids who came out on the other side.”

Ken and Maria Brown said they had bought into the myth that the suburbs were safer than the city neighborhoods where they grew up. But now they have their son’s remains sitting on a dresser in their quiet neighborhood as proof that safety is only an illusion. The first time Steven Brown tried heroin was summer 2014. His parents said they didn’t know he had tried it until months later, when they learned that the summer flu he suffered

CRYSTAL LAKE – It doesn’t take Superman to help a nonprofit. The McHenry County Human Race 5K allows regular people to help their choice of more than 65 charities. Organized by Volunteer Center McHenry County for the past five years, the April 24 event aims to raise $70,000 for nonprofits that benefit county residents, Executive Director Rebecca Stiemke said. “This year more than ever it’s really important that we get the community to come together and wrap their arms around the nonprofits because of funding issues,” Stiemke said, referring to the Illinois budget stalemate threatening some nonprofits. “State issues are not only affecting the larger organizations, it’s trickling

down to the organizations they partner with.” One of those smaller organizations is Adult and Child Therapy Services. Executive Director John Buckley said they aim to raise $2,000 through the race. Although the budget impasse has not directly affected services, Buckley said some of the agency’s roughly 250 clients might suffer because of the effects on agencies such as Family Alliance or the Pioneer Center for Human Services.

“The people we see are going to be put in precarious situations because of the lack of a budget,” Buckley said. With the theme “Get your hero on,” participants are invited to run or walk dressed as their favorite caped crusader. Some 60 percent of registration fees will go toward the charity of a participant’s choice. They also can donate directly to a charity. Last year, about 1,100 people participated, Stiemke said. She hopes to see about the same turnout this year. Since its inception, the McHenry County Human Race has raised more than $360,000 for area nonprofits. The event also offers participants a chance to learn more about nonprofits serving the area, said McHenry County Community Foundation Executive Director Robin Doeden. “Volunteering is a great way to get to know organizations and the Human Race allows us to get to know so many organizations at one time,” Doeden said. “Not to mention, it’s a lot of fun.” Registration is $35 before April 1 and $40 from April 1 to 23. The race starts at 8 a.m. April 24 at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake. For information, visit www.mchumanrace. org.

Trustees hear plan for $30M in downtown improvements By CAITLIN SWIECA

“There’s a lot of things underneath that we would have to consider addressing in some fashion that will have to be taken care of prior to the time we do surface work.”

ALGONQUIN – Concepts for Algonquin’s downtown presented to the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday by representatives of a planning firm could bring $30 million in upgrades to the area if implemented. Daniel Grove of Chicago’s The Lakota Group presented the conceptual plans, which include replacing asphalt with brick pavers on main streets, adding signage near the Algonquin Western Bypass to lure drivers into downtown, and adding curb extensions to increase the amount of sidewalk space. Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said the process of making those upgrades likely would take five to eight years to complete because of the underground infrastructure work that would be necessary, which is included in the cost estimate. “There’s a lot of pretty infrastructure on the surface,” Mitchard said. “There’s a lot of things underneath that we would have to consider addressing in some fashion that will have to be taken care of prior to the time we do surface work.”

Crews spend less than an hour fighting 3-acre brush fire

WONDER LAKE – A brush fire in Wonder Lake that took less than an hour to put out burned about three acres, fire officials said Friday. The Wonder Lake Fire Protection District was called about 3:30 p.m. to the 8400 block of Redbud Court, where a brush fire had been reported. Lt. Chris Hedquist said it took probably 10 firefighters to get the fire under control in less than an hour. He did not have information regarding how the fire started, but said there were no structures involved – the closest was about 200 feet away – and there were no injuries. Hedquist also pointed out this is the time of year when firefighters will start to see more brush fires as it becomes dryer and warmer. Friday’s fire still is under investigation.

Developers to present plan for animal clinic on Route 47 By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Representatives of Randall Road Animal Hospital will present a proposal for a veterinary clinic along Route 47 to the Plan Commission on Monday, nearly four months after an original plan for a clinic further south was shot down by the Village Board. The company now is seeking to open a veterinary clinic at 11804 Route 47, a vacant space facing Route 47 that used to house Manning Concrete. In January, the Village Board considered the location and, without discussion, gave the developer the go-ahead to begin the formal planning process. At the 6:30 p.m. meeting Monday, the petitioner will request a text amendment to allow a veterinary hospital as a special use in the manufacturing zoning district and obtain a special use

permit. In November, the petitioner proposed opening a veterinary clinic at 12372 Princeton Drive in the space adjacent to Sleepy’s. The Village Board rejected it in a 4-1 vote, saying they wanted that site used for retail or a restaurant. The proposed clinic would primarily provide vaccinations for small animals and would not provide overnight stays or kennels. Dr. Mandeep Sandhu, the veterinarian who wants to open a clinic, has practices in Crystal Lake, South Elgin and North Aurora. According to research from Mark Ebacher of Interstate Partners, the owner of the space the clinic had previously tried to open in, Huntley has one veterinary clinic per 12,556 residents, a much lower rate than the one per 6,180 residents in the surrounding area.

LOCAL BRIEFS Crystal Lake man sentenced for possession of child pornography

WOODSTOCK – A 26-year-old Crystal Lake man was sentenced to 180 days in jail and ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life for possession of child pornography, prosecutors said this week. Torian Rodez had images of sexual abuse of children on his home computer, McHenry Torian Rodez County Sheriff’s police said at the time of his May 2013 arrest. Police have said Rodez had been downloading child porn in the month before his arrest. Rodez was convicted of possession of child porn in January. The Class 2 felony can carry a sentence of up to seven years in prison. McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather handed down the jail sentence Thursday. Rodez also will be on sex offender probation for two years, Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs said. Combs said Rodez will be given three days credit for time served, and his sen-

tence will be served day-for-day credit, meaning he will serve a total of 87 days in jail.

Woman ejected from Jeep after Crystal Lake crash

CRYSTAL LAKE – A head-on crash in Crystal Lake sent one woman to an area hospital after she was ejected from one of the two involved vehicles, fire officials said Friday night. The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department was dispatched at 6:42 p.m. for a reported crash with ejection at Routes 31 and 176, Battalion Chief William Whyte said. The woman was one of five people involved in the crash, but the only one transported. She went to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries not considered life-threatening, Whyte said. She was ejected from the back window of a soft-top Jeep because of the force of the crash, he said. The Crystal Lake Police Department also responded to the scene, but did not immediately return calls for comment.

Why have a generator?

With the onset of milder weather, it is only a matter of time before we get hit with spring storms and power outages. Most people living in municipalities may lose power but they still have running water. But anyone dependent on well and septic knows that a loss of power means no running water. If the power is not restored quickly, that becomes a problem. There are basically two types of generators, portable and whole house. Most portable units require gasoline and are limited in their capacity. A whole house generator is a permanent installation and is powered by gas or L.P. These units can be sized for a wide range of applications. Most of our installations cover the entire house but you can also wire them to cover speciﬁc circuits; like your well, furnace, refrigerator, etc. When there is a power outage, the generator automatically starts within 10-20 seconds. When the utility power is restored, the generator shuts down. Most units have a weekly exercise function where they run for 5-10 minutes and then shut down. If you have any concerns about losing power and all of the problems that can create, then a whole house generator will give you the peace of mind you want.

PORT BARRINGTON – Lake County Sheriff’s investigators are still trying to determine what color the traffic lights were at the time of a three-vehicle crash that killed one person Friday. Sheriff’s spokesman Christopher Covelli said police were dispatched about 11:15 a.m. to the intersection of Darrell and Roberts roads in Port Barrington for a crash. Preliminary investigation showed a Peterbilt truck was traveling west on Darrell Road and entered the intersection at Roberts Road while a Jeep was headed south on Roberts Road and entered the same intersection at about the same time, Covelli said in an email.

The front of the Peterbilt struck the driver’s side of the Jeep, and then a Buick that was going east on Darrell Road was struck after the initial crash, Covelli said. The driver of the Jeep was pronounced dead at the scene. The drivers of the Peterbilt and Buick were uninjured. Police are not identifying the person who was killed, other than to say he was male, until they can notify next of kin. Covelli said the crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigation Unit. Responders from the Wauconda Fire District and the Nunda Fire Department responded, and the Cary Fire Department was returned prior to its arrival.

Adam has been in the HVAC industry for over 35 years. He has been involved in all aspects of the business from service to sales. His main interest is in customer comfort.

WOODSTOCK – About 45 years ago, Tom Dougherty started making jewelry in a buggy outside of an old schoolhouse near Sycamore. Now his business, Dougherty Enterprises, has grown in Woodstock to encompass Studio 2015 Jewelry, 11701 Catalpa Lane, a manufacturing location on Borden Street and soon an office space on the Square for the recently acquired Meadow Hill Corp. “I get to create every day,” Dougherty said. “I get to come to work and design and build, so there’s always something new and exciting.” The most recent move for the company will be to transfer about 20 Meadow Hill employees from the Lake Barrington office to the 3,800-square-foot basement at 110 and 112 Benton St., Dougherty said. The move is expected to be completed by mid-April. Dougherty Enterprises acquired Meadow Hill in September, but, before then, the sales group had worked with Dougherty Enterprises for more than 10 years to manufacture products for its Thumbies and Buddies companies. Thumbies.com started its work in the funeral industry, and Keith Heaverlo, president of Dougherty Enterprises, said they supply funerals with scanning technology to get the fingerprints

of deceased people. Fingerprints are then transferred onto precious metals and made into jewelry. “It’s about preserving the memories of the people and things that we love,” Dougherty said. Thumbies eventually expanded to include Buddies, where pieces are made with the prints of animals, Dougherty said. After the acquisition, Dougherty Enterprises can now “handle everything from the conception to the delivery to the final purchase for the consumer,” Dougherty said. He said Meadow Hill is keeping its name for now, but is owned by Dougherty Enterprises. The company hopes to expand its international sales from Mexico and Canada to the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. Dougherty has owned the two buildings on Benton Street since 1992, and started Studio 2015 Jewelry in the basement of 110 Benton St. The ground level of the buildings are used by Trésors and Re/Max Plaza, and the second floors are apartments, Dougherty said. Eventually, Dougherty said he hopes to have all of Dougherty Enterprises’ 60 employees under one roof. Dougherty said he’s been working with the Woodstock Economic Development Department and the county so the company can stay in the area as it continues to expand.

Ken Brown and his wife, Maria, look through photos of their son’s funeral at their Crystal Lake home Friday. Their son, Steven, 22, was a heroin addict who died of an overdose at their home Feb. 7.

‘‘

A tearful Maria Brown looks at photos of the funeral of her son, Steven.

This was our delusion: That’s what people go to when they are hopeless and overwhelmed with life that they’re looking for something so out there to take them away from their feelings. This couldn’t possibly be our son. Maria Brown

Steven Brown’s mother Steven Brown’s family cared for him through it all. He even had a chance to work for his father’s small

’’

business. “I said, ‘You’re going to own this company some day. You can do it.

Your friends will be back. Your girlfriends will be back. Everything in your life will be back to normal, but you’ve got to stop first,’ ” Ken Brown recalled. “But it just didn’t happen.” Michael Young, a McHenry County outreach coordinator for A Man in Recovery Foundation, offered to help several times to no avail. Fearing they would find Steven dead of an overdose, he told Ken and Maria not to let him stay in the house. “I would have driven him to Florida, South Carolina, Montana, Alaska, I don’t care,” Young said. “As long as he called and said, ‘I’m ready.’ ” They thought the addiction had hit a final turning point. On top of being two days away from a drug test mandated as part of a felony drug possession conviction, Steven Brown’s 20-year-old friend, Jack Crawford, had died Feb. 4 of a heroin overdose after returning from treatment. The Browns said maybe their son might have tried treatment again, but in the end, that’s not whom they were reasoning with. “Heroin takes over the brain and it lies to you. It tells you who you are. It tells you what you need. It tells you what you can and can’t do. It tells you to do things you would never dream of doing otherwise,” Maria Brown said. “This is where we lose so many of our kids. Because it is in charge.”

through was actually withdrawal. Ken and Maria Brown knew their son had struggled with addiction since a traumatic event when he was 14 years old in which he was beaten up by another student while someone else filmed it. The humiliation from the fight took their son’s self-esteem and identity, they said. He also had a genetic predisposition to alcoholism and had been to treatment before, his parents said. But even with his history, to his parents, Steven Brown seemed to be too smart to try heroin. “This was our delusion: That’s what people go to when they are hopeless and overwhelmed with life that they’re looking for something so out there to take them away from their feelings,” Maria Brown said. “This couldn’t possibly be our son.” The number of people trying heroin for the first time is “unacceptably” high, researchers from the National Institutes of Health said in a recent report. In 2012, 156,000 Americans started using heroin, nearly double the number of people in 2009, researchers found. That same year, 669,000 Americans reported using heroin, according to the report. Researchers said that number is largely driven by people ages 18 to 25. Locally, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski’s records show the average age among the 20 people who died of a heroin overdose in 2015 was about 34. In the throes of his addiction, Steven Brown was unrecognizable. His parents said he was aggressive and withdrawn, not like the caring uncle and son he typically was. He would nod off and wore long sleeves. Attempts to recover in jail and in treatment were thwarted by a few forces out of the family’s control. Doctors prescribed him hundreds of pills. Insurance companies only paid for 28 days of treatment. And, besides, Steven Brown was an adult who could leave treatment when he wanted, they said. He had lived in a tree house, a motel and a storage container. His parents searched him when he came home, and spent hours scouring the yard for stashes of dope. But there was always someone willing to pick Steven Brown up, drive him around the city while he got high and drop him off at home. The West Chicago man Crystal Lake police said picked up Steven Brown and sold him black tar heroin the night of his death, Joshua Manthei, faces a drug-induced homicide charge. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 13.

Ken Adam, the set designer for the early Bond films, looks on at the “For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond” exhibition April 16, 2008, at the Imperial War Museum in London. Adam died at the age of 95. His death was confirmed Thursday by the official James Bond Twitter account. Adam’s death was first reported by the BBC, which said he died at his home in London. ambassador: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!” Adam was knighted in 2003, a first for a production designer. Born Klaus Hugo Adam in 1921, Adam’s Jewish family fled Nazi Germany in 1934. They settled in London, where Adam became enraptured by German Expressionist films like “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.” He studied architecture, a background that would later prove useful for production design. He volunteered during World War II and was one of only a handful of German-born pilots to fly for the Royal Air Force. Later, his flying experience would inspire the ejector seat of 007’s Aston Martin. After the war, he was hired to assist

veteran designer William Cameron Menzies (“Gone With the Wind”) on the Oscar-winning 1956 film “Around the World in 80 Days.” Adam caught the eye of producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli who, after hiring him for “The Trials of Oscar Wilde,” enlisted a reluctant Adam for 1962’s “Dr. No,” the first Bond film. Sets created by Adam – like the interior of the British Secret Service headquarters and Dr. No’s base – created a template for the franchise that would follow. He continued to be instrumental in crafting the iconic backdrops, props and torture devices that helped define the Bond world in “Goldfinger,” “Thunderball,” “You Only Live Twice,” “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Moonraker.”

THOMAS E. WESNER

AUSTIN, Texas – A colleague of SXSW co-founder Louis Meyers said the musician has died on the day the major entertainment festival opened for the 30th year. He was 60. Folk Alliance International Director Aengus Finnan said Meyers died Friday in Austin. The cause of death wasn’t immediately known. Finnan replaced Meyers as head of the Kansas City-based folk music association in 2014. He called Meyers a “musician’s musician” and a leader in the industry. Meyers helped start SXSW in 1987 with the hopes of bringing more exposure to Austin musicians. He left the festival in mid-1990s before SXSW grew into one of the biggest annual music events in the world. President Barack Obama spoke at the festival Friday, becoming the first sitting president to do so.

He formed Emerson, Lake and Palmer in 1970, when the band debuted at the Isle of Wight Festival.

NEW YORK – Ken Adam, the British production designer who gave “Dr. Strangelove” its cavernous War Room and James Bond supervillains their futuristic lairs, has died. He was 95. Adam’s biographer, Christopher Frayling, said Adam passed away in his sleep Thursday at his home in London. Frayling called Adam “the greatest production designer for film, ever.” MGM Studios and Eon Productions mourned the death of “our beloved friend” in a statement on the official James Bond Twitter account, hailing Adam as the person “who was so responsible for the visual style of the James Bond films.” The Berlin-born Adam won two Academy Awards in a career that lasted into his 70s and spanned more than 70 films. He was revered for his indelible set artistry, including that for seven Bond movies. Adam was behind the Fort Knox vaults of “Goldfinger,” the iconic volcano hideaway of “You Only Live Twice” and Bond’s gadget-filled Aston Martin. “One critic asked, ‘How did you ever get inside the volcano?’ ” Adam told the Los Angeles Times last year. “I didn’t get inside the volcano!

Chaos breaks out after Trump cancels rally

McHenry County lawmakers weigh in on protests against GOP candidate By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com

and The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – One Crystal Lake resident intending to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday night in Chicago still was waiting blocks away when the line got cut off. Trump canceled one of his signature rallies on Friday, calling off the event because of safety concerns after protesters packed the arena where it was to take place. The announcement that the billionaire businessman would postpone the rally until another day led a large portion of the crowd inside the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion to break out into raucous cheers. Many rushed onto the floor, jumping up and down with their arms up in the air. McHenry County resident Mike Shorten went with his 17-year-old daughter, who wanted to see a presidential rally. “She asked to see Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, and I’m active in the Republican Party, so I told her I’d rather not do that,” he said, laughing. “She asked about Trump, and I said, ‘Well, I can probably go for the entertainment factor.’ ” But they wouldn’t have gotten the chance even if the rally wasn’t canceled. Shorten, who is a Republican precinct committeemen in McHenry County, said he and his daughter were toward the end of the line, which stretched several blocks from the venue. There, the atmosphere was actually calm, he said. “A couple people shouted out, but by and large it was peaceful where we were,” Shorten said. “We never got close to the area where it looks like there were a lot of protesters.” State Rep. Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, wasn’t there, but her brother was. She said she was disappointed for those who were hoping to see Trump and lost the chance. “I’m disappointed Trump supporters were unable to hear his message and participate in this,” she said.

Protesters shout at supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after it was announced that the candidate’s rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion was canceled because of security concerns. From Marengo, Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks agreed the cancellation was unfortunate. “I’m not a Trump supporter, but I still think everyone should be able to be heard safely,” Franks said, later adding, “People are angry right now, but both sides have a right to speak and there shouldn’t be any room for hatred in America.” Among those celebrating the cancellation was 20-year-old Kamran Siddiqui. “Trump represents everything America is not and everything Chicago is not,” she said. “We came in here and we wanted to shut this down. Because this is a great city and we don’t want to let that person in here.” Some supporters of the Republican front-runner started chanting: “We want Trump! We want Trump!” in response to the celebrations, and there were some isolated physical confrontations between members of the crowd. Chicago police said there were no immediate arrests. “It’s a shame,” said Trump supporter Bill Tail, 43, of Oak Lawn. “They scream about tolerance, but are being intolerant themselves, that doesn’t make sense.” As Trump attempts to unify a fractured Republican Party ahead of next week’s slate of winner-take-all primary elections, the confrontations between his legion of loyal supporters and protesters who accuse him of stoking ra-

cial hatred have intensified at his rallies. A North Carolina man was arrested after video footage showed him punching an African-American protester being led out of a rally in that state on Wednesday. At that event, the billionaire real estate mogul recalled a past protester as “a real bad dude.” “He was a rough guy, and he was punching. And we had some people – some rough guys like we have right in here – and they started punching back,” Trump said. “It was a beautiful thing.” At Trump’s rally earlier Friday in St. Louis, he was repeatedly interrupted by protesters. Police there charged nearly three dozen people with general peace disturbance. In a telephone interview after postponing his event in Chicago, Trump said he didn’t “want to see people hurt or worse” at the rally, telling MSNBC that, “I think we did the right thing.” Trump said the anger on display in Chicago wasn’t directed at him or his campaign, but rather was a manifestation of the public’s deep frustration with economic conditions in the country. “Our businesses are being taken away from us, our businesses are being moved out of the country,” Trump said on Fox News. “This is a demonstration against economic conditions on both sides.” But many of the protesters in Chica-

go said they were there to specifically to stop Trump from speaking. “Our country is not going to make it being divided by the views of Donald Trump,” said Jermaine Hodge, a 37-year-old lifelong Chicago resident who owns a trucking company. “Our country is divided enough. Donald Trump, he’s preaching hate. He’s preaching division.” Indeed, Trump taunted the protesters in St. Louis, panning them as weak “troublemakers,” and ordered them to “go home to mommy” or “go home and get a job” because “they contribute nothing.” “These are not good people, just so you understand,” Trump said. “These are not the people who made our country great. These are the people that are destroying our country.” Dozens of University of Illinois at Chicago faculty and staff had petitioned university administrators earlier in the week to cancel the rally, citing concerns it would create a “hostile and physically dangerous environment” for students. One Trump supporter at the Chicago rally said Trump had created the environment that led to Friday night’s melee by holding the event at the school – a civil and immigrant rights organizing hub with large minority student populations. “I think he was kind of provoking things, to be honest with you,” said Dan Kozak, 23, from south suburban Tinley Park. “He could have picked the suburbs and nothing would have happened.” Hours before the event in Chicago was scheduled to start, hundreds of people lined up to get into the arena. Trump backers were separated from an equally large crowd of anti-Trump protesters by a heavy police presence and barricades. Once inside, some supporters and protesters engaged in a handful of intense verbal clashes. For the first time during his White House bid, the crowd at one of his events appeared to be an equal mix of those eager to cheer on the real estate mogul and those overtly opposed to his candidacy. When one African-American protester was escorted out before the event started, the crowd erupted into chants of “Let them stay!” Veronica Kowalkowsky, an 18-yearold Trump supporter, said she had no ill will toward the protesters – but didn’t think they felt the same way. “I feel a lot of hate,” she said. “I haven’t said anything bad to anyone.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Sept. 11 attacks, still allows sleep Extraordinary tactics as foes struggle to stop Trump deprivation and other sensory

MIAMI – Candidates shuttled out of Florida and abandoned their vicious rhetoric – at least with each other – as the tone and central front in the increasingly desperate push to stop Donald Trump shifted on Friday. A confident Trump instead adopted a magnanimous tone, calling for party unity, while Rubio focused on policy differences and turned to Republican competitor John Kasich for help, as the Republican front-runner’s rivals – and the party’s establishment – grasped for any way to slow Trump’s march toward the nomination. “Clearly John Kasich has a better chance of stopping Donald Trump in Ohio than I do,” Rubio told reporters Friday, encouraging his supporters in Ohio to vote for Kasich next week. The extraordinary tactic reflects the increasing sense of urgency looming over the 2016 contest as Trump eyes what would be a devastating sweep in next week’s winner-take-all elections in Ohio and Florida.

techniques that some say amount to a loophole to the U.S. ban on torture. Interrogation professionals and international human rights groups want to see the entire 10-page Appendix M axed from the Army Field Manual, which is undergoing a congressionally mandated review. U.S. officials insist that Appendix M doesn’t condone ill treatment of detainees, and that all parts of the manual must be applied in ways that ensure detainees are treated humanely.

Secrecy a hallmark of Supreme Court evaluation process By SAM HANANEL

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Clandestine meetings. Soundproofed rooms. Top-secret instructions. It sounds like the elements for a spy movie, but it’s become a hallmark of the undercover process for considering potential Supreme Court nominees. The Obama administration is close to naming a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, who died last month and would have turned 80 Friday. An announcement is expected soon, although whether a nominee can be confirmed by the Senate is in doubt. The Senate’s majority Republicans said the seat should be filled not by Obama, but by his successor. If history is a guide, the White House will take elaborate precautions to make sure the choice for the lifetime seat is kept under wraps until the president is ready to reveal it. Back in 2005, Samuel Alito was an appeals court judge based in New Jersey when he was summoned to Washington for a Saturday interview with President George W. Bush. “I checked into a hotel downtown, and they said that I ... should go to a particular corner at a particular time in the morning and wait for a Chrysler 300 to pull up, flash its headlights a couple of times, and then I was to get in this car,” he told Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol in an interview last year. “So I felt like a spy,” Alito said. “But they wanted to make sure that media didn’t get any word about people who were being interviewed.”

The meeting took place in the president’s private upstairs living quarters, away from the eyes of reporters and White House staff. President Barack Obama’s search appears to be focused on a small group of appellate court judges with a history of bipartisan backing. The investigation into a candidate’s background is usually headed by high-level Justice Department officials and White House aides. It can take days, weeks or months, depending on how quickly White House wants to act. In some cases, the White House already has a short list of potential nominees ready to go. That was the case with Clarence Thomas. He got a call from White House Counsel C. Boyden Gray on the same day Justice Thurgood Marshall announced his retirement. Soon, Thomas was standing across the street from the federal courthouse, where he was an appellate judge, waiting to catch a ride to the Justice Department. “Within a few minutes, I was seated at a conference table in the Justice Department’s situation room, which is soundproofed so thickly that your words seem to die as soon as you say them out loud,” Thomas wrote in his memoir, “My Grandfather’s Son.” Thomas said he was quizzed by Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and other senior Justice Department officials with questions such as who his favorite Supreme Court member was. His answer: Scalia. A few days later, President George H.W. Bush called Thomas to invite him to the presidential retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine, to discuss the possibility of a high court nomination.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Don’t mess with campaign signs The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs down: To people who steal or damage campaign signs. Yes, most people find them annoying, but the right to display them legally is protected by the same First Amendment that allows us to speak our minds about important elections. These petty acts of thievery are embarrassing for everyone. Thumbs up: To more civility during the Republican presidential debate Thursday. Perhaps the candidates woke up to the fact their prime-time antics were making American democracy look bad. Maybe they just came to the realization that crass attacks were a turnoff for the electorate. Whatever did the trick, all four remaining candidates came off much better. Thumbs down: To a recess for the state House of Representatives. After a session in which there was no perceptible progress made toward passing a budget for the state, House Speaker Michael Madigan and the rest of the representatives left the capital this week on recess until April 4. Even if representatives facing challenges need time to do last-minute campaigning, there’s no excuse for them not to return to Springfield after the election is over Tuesday. It’s ridiculous for our state’s politicians to go on an extended recess when they have yet to fulfill their duties. Get back to Springfield and do your jobs, please. Thumbs up: To challenging Madigan on his home turf. Jason Gonzales is running against Madigan, who has been a state representative for 45 years, in the 22nd District primary on Chicago’s southwest side. In turn, two other candidates with Latino surnames filed to run at the last minute, although neither of them have made any kind of candidacy. Meanwhile, Madigan, who is the head of the state’s Democratic Party as well as the state’s longest tenured speaker, will at least have to defend himself. While we have no doubt Madigan will succeed, at least he will face some shadow of accountability as the state continues to have no budget. Thumbs up: To the McHenry County Conservation District for opening its sites 24 days early. The unseasonably mild temperatures mean MCCD reopened its sites and parking lots, allowing residents to further enjoy the outdoors in what has been a thankfully unseasonable March. Thumbs down: In advance to anyone who chooses not to vote in Tuesday’s primary election. Regardless of your political persuasion, democracy is the lifeblood of our country. It should not be too much trouble, especially these days with the options available, to vote and participate in the process. So, please, get out there and be heard. Vote.

ANOTHER VIEW

The Reagans are together again Her Secret Service code name was “Rainbow.” Nancy Reagan, who died Sunday at age 94 at her home in Bel-Air, was the loving wife and critical political force alongside “Rawhide,” Ronald Reagan, our 40th president. Nancy always was there with Ronnie, whether on a trip to the Soviet Union, as Mr. Reagan craftily was ending the Cold War, or giving a speech to a Republican group. Or, critically, when the president was recovering from being nearly killed by an assassin’s bullet in 1981. “I could not imagine life without her,” the president said. Married in what now is Studio City in 1952, they honeymooned at the Mission Inn in Riverside. The Inland Empire and Orange County always were Reagan Country. “Nancy was first and fore-

most a loyal wife who provided unwavering personal support for President Reagan as he rebuilt our economy and strengthened our national security,” said Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher in a statement; a former Register editorial writer, he knew the Reagans well for decades and was one of the president’s speechwriters. After the somber “malaise” years of President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s, the Reagans brought Hollywood glamour to the White House, although Nancy Reagan unfairly was criticized for ordering new china, paid for by donations, to use at state dinners. The bright new mood matched the economy, which boomed to above 7 percent growth in 1983, a sharp contrast to this anemic recovery. Although the Cold War is long over, it’s worth noting

Nancy’s shining public presence contrasted with the publicly invisible wives of three decrepit Soviet dictators who died in succession from 1982-85. When the Soviets finally elevated to power a younger man, Mikhail Gorbachev, his wife, Raisa, became a public first lady modeled on Nancy. The first ladies’ relationship began tensely, but warmed over the years. This humanization of the superpower rivals helped ease tensions as the socialist colossus began to dissolve, unable to compete with a revived capitalist America. Nancy Reagan’s toughest battles began when the former president became afflicted with Alzheimer’s in the mid-1990s; he died in 2004. They are together now and continue to inspire us.

Vote for Tsilimigras

To the Editor: Demetri Tsilimigras is a close friend of mine. We were assistant prosecutors beginning in 2002 at the Kane County State’s Attorney Office. I’ve worked with Demetri in felony arraignment court, as well as co-chaired several bench and jury trials with him. Demetri exhibited excellent trial skills. He always was well prepared and organized. His direct and cross-examination of witnesses were very effective, and closing arguments were some of the most persuasive I’ve seen. I believe Demetri’s temperament will serve him well on the bench. I would strongly encourage you to vote for him as circuit judge. Reginald N. Campbell

Kenneally incapable of the job

To the Editor: Endorsing Dan Regna is the only viable option for McHenry County state’s attorney. Patrick Kenneally is irresponsible with power and a danger on society. His past problems with alcohol and his inability to control his temper are a recipe for disaster. He has not even been a resident of this county for a year. Please don’t let another family get

destroyed by a malevolent state’s attorney office. It’s time for a fresh start. Get out and vote for Regna. Please read the domestic disturbance police report involving Kenneally. His true colors were revealed. There should be no doubt Kenneally is incapable of the job. With great power comes great responsibility and self-control. Kenneally has neither, which are prerequisites for the most powerful job in the county.

Kenneally will meet the task

residents in the county on the McHenry County Board. Elect Kay Bates on March 15 for McHenry County Board District 4.

Johnsburg

To the Editor: In a few months, the yard signs will come down, the glossy mailers will be leave our mailboxes and we will have a new state’s attorney in McHenry County. That person will be tasked with improving our community and its law enforcement. Patrick Kenneally is the best candidate to meet that task. Other people have written about Pat’s exceptional trial abilities. As an attorney, I agree with that assessment. But, as a father of three children, I am just as interested in Pat’s dedication to address issues such as heroin, domestic violence and DUI before those cases reach the courtroom. Efforts like this will improve the community now, and for the future of my children. In contrast, I’m less interested in political hand-wringing about Pat’s predecessor, Mr. Bianchi. Someone else soon will take over his important job. Because of his talent, dedication and forward thinking, that person is Pat Kenneally. Justin Hansen Crystal Lake

Elect Bates in District 4

To the Editor: I moved to McHenry two years ago as a newlywed. It was a hard adjustment as I left the family I knew to be with the man I love. Kay Bates made the adjustment easier. She always was glad to see me and helped me meet others essential to my new business, as well as individuals who have become good friends. Anyone who knows Kay realizes she not only cares for the businesses she has served, but the people she encounters daily. As for businesses, Kay will bring a strong business perspective to McHenry County. As for residents, Kay will listen and do all she can to help those needing a cheerleader. Kay will be a strong advocate for McHenry County businesses and

Vets can count on Regna

To the Editor: This election, I ask McHenry County veterans to stand with U.S. Army veteran Dan Regna, who is running for McHenry County state’s attorney. Today, we do not have enough veterans representing us in government. To my knowledge, our present state’s attorney’s office does not employ any veterans. So, we should not be surprised McHenry County does not have a veterans court or that our state’s attorney is not veteran friendly. Last fall, a misguided decision by our state’s attorney shut down our McHenry County Veterans Assistance Commission for a week, depriving veterans of essential services such as transportation to the Lovell VA Center in North Chicago. Dan Regna is a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran. He is a member of the American Legion and VFW. We can count on Dan Regna to take care of our service members and veterans, always treating them with dignity and respect. Tom Hughes McHenry

ALAW endorsements

To the Editor: The Alliance for Land, Agriculture and Water (ALAW) endorses the following candidates for County Board: Tom Wilbeck, District 1; Jeffrey Thorsen, District 2; Michael Walkup, District 3; Andrew Snarski, District 5; and Ersel Schuster, District 6. Protecting the aquifers we rely on for our water in this county has been

a core issue for the Alliance for Land, Agriculture and Water (ALAW) from its beginning. Without access to good water, property is devalued, the ability to live and work in an area is compromised and future development stops. Studies have shown aquifer stress and depletion in McHenry County for years, but meaningful solutions have not been implemented. We believe these candidates will work to protect our aquifers and essential groundwater recharge areas, ensuring our county continues to be a viable, desirable place to live, work and raise a family. Patricia Kennedy

Tsilimigras’ right temperament

To the Editor: Demetri Tsilimigras is highly qualified to be a judge in McHenry County. I worked with Demetri, so I have personal knowledge of his legal abilities. He always is prepared and thinks about every angle of a case. Demetri has worked on murder, sexual assault and robbery cases, along with other serious criminal offenses. He has worked on hundreds of cases. I have handled cases in Kane, McHenry, DuPage, Will, Winnebago and McLean counties. Through these experiences, I have worked with many attorneys. Demetri is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. Demetri has the intelligence and temperament to be a great judge. He also treats people with respect. He does what is right and seeks justice. As a judge, Demetri will listen to both sides on every case and make a fair ruling. I recommend Demetri Tsilimigras for judge. Simeon Kim St. Charles

• Saturday, March 12, 2016

To the Editor: My vote for County Board District 5 goes to one candidate: Andrew Snarski. I’m impressed with his sincerity and genuine interest in representing the residents of the district. He is a firsttime candidate taking a fresh look at the issues with no baggage, no history. He is fully aware of the need to reduce taxes, curtail unnecessary spending and improve our economic climate. But, in the process, he will not disregard the environmental issues that support our quality of life in this county. When I spoke with him about the importance of water quality and aquifer protection, he said he would research the issue. He did. He understands. How much more can you ask of a candidate? Andy combines decision-making experience from his corporate management background with an understanding of the human side of the issues. I encourage my fellow District 5 residents to elect Andrew Snarski.

Reformers want McConchie

To the Editor: The reformers are a small but growing team committed to helping Gov. Bruce Rauner turn our state around. They’re the ones who are relentlessly working to reform our pension crisis, cut spending and structurally reform our state against Mike Madigan. It is these reformers who say they want Dan McConchie to join their team down in Springfield. Politics is a team effort. When we elect someone to go to Springfield, they have to work with others to get things done. Dan McConchie has 20 years of experience working on state-level public policy issues. That’s why 15 reformer legislators support Dan McConchie in his race to replace Dan Duffy in the state Senate. He is a trusted expert who can help get the job done. I am voting for Dan McConchie on March 15. Dan Krucek Deer Park

Regna the important choice

To the Editor: We have an important choice to make for our next McHenry County state’s attorney, with two distinct candidates. Dan Regna is a West Point graduate with 18 years of military service while his opponent has no military service. Dan Regna has 21 years of legal experience, while his opponent has eight years. Dan Regna served nearly 10 years as a prosecutor, while his opponent has only served eight years. Dan Regna has 11 years of local private practice experience, while his opponent has none. Dan Regna has lived in McHenry County for 23 years, while his opponent moved into McHenry County eight months ago. Dan Regna owns a home in Woodstock, while his opponent owns a home in Lake County and rents a second home in Crystal Lake. Dan Regna is endorsed by Mike Tryon. His opponent is endorsed by Louis Bianchi. I support Dan Regna. Ruth Rooney Woodstock

Kenneally will be committed

To the Editor: When electing a state’s attorney, it is important we choose someone who is hardworking, ethical and experienced. There is only one candidate who meets all three of those criteria, and that person is Patrick Kenneally. I’ve come to know Patrick Kenneally over the past couple of years and can

assure you the good people of McHenry County will have a state’s attorney who is committed to putting the bad guys away. In addition to Mr. Kenneally, I will be supporting the following candidates who are trustworthy, hardworking and qualified for the office they seek: Barbara Wheeler for state representative, Demetri Tsilimigras for judge, Joni Smith for recorder and Nancy Gonsiorek for County Board District 3. Many of November’s local races will be decided March 15 in the Republican primary. It’s not too late to research the candidates and get out and vote. Mike Shorten Crystal Lake

Vote for Tsilimigras

To the Editor: I am proud to endorse Demetri Tsilimigras for circuit judge of McHenry County. As a prosecutor and Demetri’s former supervisor, I have personal knowledge Demetri is extremely qualified for the position of circuit judge. He is a tough prosecutor who has dedicated his entire legal career to public service. As deputy chief of the criminal division, Demetri has fought hard against drunken driving, earning awards from Mothers Against Drunk Driving and from the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists and ensuring safer roadways. Demetri assisted in the creation of the mental health, drug and domestic violence courts in McHenry County. Demetri is very well respected by his peers in the legal community and by the public that he serves. Demetri is a dedicated husband and loving father with strong family values. He has the knowledge, experience and character to be an outstanding judge. Steven M. Sims Batavia

Schofield the clear choice

To the Editor: It is my pleasure to recommend Carolyn Schofield for state representative in the 66th District. I have had the privilege to see Carolyn Schofield in action on the County Board and in committee meetings while being an internal auditor at McHenry County. I have witnessed Carolyn’s proven leadership and consistent professionalism from her collegiate education and vast experience. Also, she has provided integrity as a County Board member. Carolyn has a proven track record during her time on the Crystal Lake City

Council and Crystal Lake Zoning & Planning Commission, as well as many other community involvement endeavors. I am confident she can make the same impact on the state level as well. Carolyn’s experience and unmatched knowledge on the issues in McHenry County makes her the clear choice. Vote with me March 15 for Carolyn Schofield for state representative. Shannon Teresi Crystal Lake

Asking for your vote

To the Editor: My name is Demetri Tsilimigras. I respectfully ask for your vote for McHenry County judge. I have dedicated my career as a prosecutor in protecting the community. It is my life’s mission to continue to serve McHenry County. I have had the opportunity to try hundreds of cases, including jury and bench trials, in order to keep our streets safe. Currently, as a deputy chief of the criminal division, I train, mentor and supervise prosecutors in trial work. I believe as a judge, it is important to provide a level playing field in an open and accessible court. Also, I believe all parties, witnesses and attorneys should be treated with patience, civility and respect. Finally, as a public servant, the position is not about oneself, rather it is about the public to whom we serve. I cherish this responsibility. I would appreciate your vote. Demetri Tsilimigras Cary

Regna a true leader

To the Editor: Dan Regna will serve the residents of McHenry County with all the drive, passion and commitment one expects from a great leader. I met Dan nearly 33 years ago as a cadet at the United States Military Academy. He always was passionate about serving his country, working tirelessly to meet the rigorous military and academic demands of West Point. More recently, while attending our 25-year West Point reunion with my family, a massive snowstorm hit New York, paralyzing the entire area. Unable to return to our hotel 25 miles away, my wife and I were deeply concerned about the well-being of our youngest son, who is disabled and non-ambulatory. With the nearby hotels full, Dan took it upon

himself to find and secure a room for my family. I will always remember Dan’s simple act of compassion. Dan Regna is a true leader who will serve McHenry County. Al Zelaya

Regna cares

To the Editor: I have known Dan Regna for nearly 20 years. We first met and served together in the 85th Division of the United States Army Reserve based at Fort Sheridan. For nearly four years, I deployed and worked with Dan on numerous military exercises. Dan was an excellent Army officer who earned the respect of his fellow soldiers. No matter the challenge, Dan always focused on the mission while keeping a positive attitude. He was not a person flustered or stressed by great demands. Those who served with Dan know him to be a great leader. He truly cares about those around him, especially his subordinates. To Dan, it was very simple: Take care of your soldiers, and your soldiers will take care of you. As a McHenry County resident, I know Dan Regna will make an excellent state’s attorney. Kevin Ruddy Crystal Lake

Consolidation endorsements

To the Editor: Now we have the McHenry County Township Highway Commissioners Association endorsing the McHenry County Board members who voted against the consolidation of townships. What a surprise. Does anyone see the hypocrisy of this? We have a group of township employees placing an ad in the Northwest Herald endorsing these candidates. Robert Miller, president of the association, is endorsing his wife, who is not only employed by the township but also sits on the McHenry County Board. Mrs. Miller, her husband and two sons-in-law work for Algonquin Township. Anna May Miller voted against township consolidation. Why didn’t the board see a conflict of interest and have her recuse herself in the voting? When will the McHenry County Board and the townships stop playing games and allowing friends and family to continue to feed at the taxpayer trough? Gregory Walker Lake in the Hills

Schofield an advocate

To the Editor: As clean water program director for Illinois Sierra Club and a 28-year McHenry County resident, I am so pleased Carolyn Schofield is running for Illinois House of Representatives. There is none better to represent the residents of District 66. Carolyn is an advocate for our vital water resources, both groundwater that is the sole source of drinking water in McHenry County and important recreational amenities such as Crystal Lake, which she worked to protect while serving on the City Council and later as a McHenry County Board member. She is one to really dig into issues and make sure her decisions do not have unintended consequences. We need analytical minds such as Carolyn’s in Springfield to provide leadership on a suite of issues, from balancing the budget and supporting the Clean Jobs Bill to keeping our communities as safe and healthy places where all families can thrive.

Tsilimigras has courage

To the Editor: Judges have courage. They make hard, sometimes unpopular, decisions. Attorney Demetri Tsilimigras is running against a sitting judge, which is compelling evidence of Demetri’s courage. Demetri’s opponent points to a more favorable rating from the County Bar Association. I suggest you disregard it. The bar poll sample is inbred. The majority of the bar poll voters are either circuit judges who appointed his opponent associate judge, or associate judges who are his opponent’s colleagues, or lawyers who appear before his opponent. Many of you in the community have gotten to know Demetri. If you have not, talk to your friends and neighbors and co-workers who either know Demetri or know someone who knows him. They will tell you he has the intelligence, integrity and respectfulness to serve as circuit judge. Please consider him in the poll that counts – the one March 15. Jerome C. Majewski Crystal Lake

Vote Tsilimigras for judge

To the Editor: I am respectfully asking you to vote for my husband, Demetri Tsilimigras, for McHenry County judge. Rather than focus on Demetri as the candidate, I would like to describe Demetri on a personal level. Demetri and I have been blessed with three beautiful children. He is a devoted father. I admire Demetri for being so strong during the worst time in our lives when our son was critically ill. He helped me remain hopeful for our future, and he continued to remind me to keep my faith in God. Demetri enjoys doing activities with our children, such as participating in karate with our daughter. Demetri repeatedly has told me our children inspired him to run for judge. He wants to set an example for them to follow their dream. Please vote for the compassionate and strong man who deserves to be judge, my husband, Demetri Tsilimigras. Eleni Tsilimigras Cary

Trump’s clumsy pivot to general We tuned in to the Republican debate Thursday night expecting fireworks. Instead we heard the hissing crackle of a wet fuse refusing to light. Donald Trump seemed somnolent to the point of comatose. Perhaps he has internal polls indicating his ever-more-outrageous shtick finally was beginning to hurt him with voters; more likely, he’s decided it’s time to prepare for the general election. But he didn’t seem to know quite how. The man once praised for finally saying the unsayable at a Republican debate – that the Iraq War was a mistake – suddenly was talking about putting tens of thousands of boots on the ground in the Middle East. He backtracked on his backtracking on H1B visas. He said he didn’t condone the violence that had taken place at his rallies, and then, when confronted with his own words suggesting violence against protesters, suggested – in suitably subdued tones – that, well, they deserved it. It was as if he’d read you’re supposed to pivot to the general, and failed to understand you were supposed to selectively tack toward the center on key issues, rather than randomly retracting things you previously had said, some as recently as 30 seconds ago. His closing statement, delivered in the same half-asleep voice, was probably his most electrifying moment of the evening: “So I just say embrace these millions of people that now for the first time ever love the Republican Party. And unify. Be smart and unify.” Essentially: I broke your party. Now surrender. The other candidates hardly needed to be told. Oh, sure, there were a few moments when the other candidates pushed back. Marco Rubio, having perhaps his best debate this cycle, absolutely crushed him on a question about Cuba, but there was no sustained attack on the front-runner. They declined to attack him even on questions that should have been obvious gimmes, like, “Should Donald Trump be calling for people to attack protesters at his rallies?” The look on their faces said it all – the frozen stare of a deer that has just realized those are not, after all, the Northern Lights come to earth. Rather than bravely saying you shouldn’t punch people, or call for others to do same, they cravenly dodged the question. Ted Cruz waxed lyrical about

VIEWS Megan McArdle a politician’s duty to serve the people. John Kasich mumbled something about trade deals. Rubio urged people to turn their rage toward some positive purpose, like putting a man on the moon. No one said the obvious, which is that no matter how righteous your anger, or how obnoxious people are being, you should use your words, and your votes, rather than your fists. I’m sure all three candidates had very good data suggesting attacking Trump was too risky. Even if they didn’t, they’d have the lesson of Rubio’s collapse since his infamous dive into … er … below-the-belt attacks. So, instead, they politely waited for someone else to launch the first salvo. As a result, the mortars mostly stayed safely unfired. It was a metaphor for this whole, incredible campaign, and watching the latest iteration, I was reminded of the Ben Franklin quote: “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” The three non-Trump candidates on stage faced a terrible collective action problem. None of them – no, not even Cruz – has a plausible path to win enough delegates to get the nomination outright. Trump still does. And unless someone attacked Trump, his momentum would continue unchecked. But the fellow who got down into the mud and started wrestling with him likely was to take a hit at the polls, while the other candidates benefited from their comparative reasonableness. Rubio leaned into the strike zone and took one for the team in the last two debates, and for his trouble, he was pilloried by the press, hammered by voters and exhorted to drop out by his rivals. He reverted to his earlier sunny optimism, augmented by folksy anecdotes about his Florida childhood. This gave him a much a better debate than Cruz, who lectured like a cocktail party bore – often correct, but rarely compelling. Or Kasich, who had enjoyed a brief renaissance playing Mr. Reasonable against the background of the Rubio-Trump catfight, but retreated back into the wallpaper. • Megan McArdle is a Bloomberg View columnist.

To the Editor: In the Illinois 66th District Republican race for state representative, things are getting curiouser and curiouser. March 7: Paul Serwatka’s personally funded mailer blasted Carolyn Schofield for spending more than $120,000 raised from special interest groups. Serwatka also condemned Allen Skillicorn for receiving more than $150,000 from a “Chicago dark money group.” March 8: Serwatka drops out of the race and throws his support to – wait for it – Skillicorn. Obviously, this does not pass the smell test. My own vote is going to Dan Wilbrandt, the only candidate not playing politics, not being influenced by big money and not taking part in Chicago-style backroom deals. He also is not covering the airwaves with TV commercials that cost more than some residents’ yearly salary. Wilbrandt is the true grassroots candidate who will represent the people, not special interests, in Springfield. He is supported by real people in the district that I’ve lived in for 50 years.

McDonald’s trial gives peek at chain’s inner workings The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – A pivotal trial against McDonald’s that began this week is providing a peek into the inner workings of the maker of the Big Mac. The trial centers over whether McDonald’s exerts control over hiring and pay decisions for employees at restaurants run by its U.S. franchises. The National Labor Relations Board contends the company does, and should be considered a “joint employer” along with franchisees. Such a finding would be historic because it would make McDonald’s liable for the labor practices at its more than 14,000 domestic restaurants – 90 percent of which are franchised. And it could open a path to unionization for workers by giving labor groups a centralized target in McDonald’s Corp., rather than a patchwork of more than 3,000 franchisees. The trial stems from cases filed around the country on behalf of workers who said they were subject to retaliation or other unfair labor practices for taking part in protests and strikes as part of their campaign for an hourly wage of $15, as well as for union representation. The push is being backed by the Service Employees International Union, and has made low wages a hot political issue. It’s expected to be a protracted legal fight, with appeals likely from the losing side in court. Here are some insights into McDonald’s from the opening statements this week in New York:

‘Hiring to win’

McDonald’s Corp. has an internal program called “Hiring to Win” that grades job applicants as “green,” ‘’yellow” or “red.” The program was one of many examples cited by Jamie Rucker, a lawyer for the labor board, as evidence of the control that McDonald’s exerts over labor decisions at franchised restaurants. Joseph Hirsch, a lawyer for McDonald’s franchisees in Philadelphia, said franchisees suffer no consequences whether they use the program or not.

‘20 to 25 seconds’

McDonald’s has a manual describing the various tasks that need to be handled in restaurants, and details the speed with which they should be performed, Rucker said. Taking a customer’s order, for instance, is supposed take 20 to 25 seconds. Lawyers for franchisees said setting such standards is part of the franchising model.

The sun sets behind a McDonald’s restaurant Oct. 10 in Ebensburg, Pa. A pivotal trial against McDonald’s that began this week is giving a peak into the inner workings of the maker of the Big Mac. The trial centers over whether McDonald’s exerts control over hiring and pay decisions for employees at restaurants run by its U.S. franchises. to tell managers the optimal number of people they should have working based on sales. Lawyers for McDonald’s and its franchisees said the software is optional. They noted that such programs don’t take into account factors such as whether there is a local parade or nearby construction. As such, franchisees can ignore whatever the software recommends and do what they think is best. As for various forms provided by McOperations consultants McDonald’s uses “operations consul- Donald’s, one franchisee lawyer comtants” to continuously monitor franchi- pared it to borrowing a book from a sees, Rucker said.

Richard Brody, a lawyer for New York franchisees, said McDonald’s needs to protect its image and deliver on the expectations people have when they walk into one of its restaurants. He asked the court to imagine ordering a Big Mac that came with no “special sauce.” “McDonald’s protects that brand like the mother bear protects her cub,” Brody said.

WILMOT, Wis. – Wilmot Mountain ski area near McHenry County soon will receive a $13 million makeover complete with new lifts, lodges and a renovated bar, as Colorado-based Vail Resorts attempts to make skiing a tourism draw in the Midwest. The national resort operator recently announced the multimillion dollar investment to renovate the historic Wilmot Mountain, located six miles northeast of Spring Grove, after acquiring the wintertime resort in January for an undisclosed amount. Upgrades slated for Wilmot Mountain include three new ski lifts, refurbished lodges, expanded snowmaking capabilities and a redesigned restaurant featuring a new lounge and bar, executives at Vail Resorts said. The company wants to improve the resort in time for the 2016-17 ski season. “We think our guests from Chicago and Milwaukee will be thrilled with the investments we are making at Wilmot, which represents one of the biggest transformations ever undertaken for a Midwestern ski area,” Rob Katz, chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts, said in a statement. Vail Resorts will bring a reputation of success to the area. The company operates eight mountain resorts in California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah along with

Colorado-based Vail Resorts recently announced it will make about $13 million in updates to the ski resort near McHenry County. two urban ski resorts in Minnesota and Michigan. The company now will retool a decades-old ski area in southern Wisconsin that currently features 25 trails, four terrain parks, a ski and snowboard school, a racing program and a tubing hill with 23 lanes. Founded in 1938 by Walter Stopa, Wilmot Mountain saw its popularity grow in the 1950s after introducing a snowmaking process rarely used by other Midwestern

ski resorts at the time, Vail Resorts have said. The Colorado-based company’s expertise with skiing resorts should help make Wilmot Mountain into a popular tourist destination for Midwesterners, executives have said. Among the $13 million in upgrades, the ski area will see a modernized ski and snowboard center for children, an expanded terrain park and improvements to its racing arena.

GM buys software company to speed development of self-driving cars The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – With hopes of speeding development of self-driving cars, General Motors has acquired a small software company that’s been testing vehicles on the streets of San Francisco. The Detroit automaker said it purchased Cruise Automation, a 40-person firm that was founded just three years ago. The move, coupled with GM’s in-house research, should help the company in its race with Google and others to have autonomous cars start transporting people on public roadways. GM wouldn’t give a timetable for rolling out the technology, but President Dan Ammann said it would happen as soon

as the company can demonstrate that the cars are ready. “It’s our view that driverless technology will be demonstrably safer than the human driver,” Ammann said in a telephone interview. Cruise Automation, along with Google, is among the few companies with permits from the state of California to test the cars, said Kyle Vogt, the company founder and CEO. The company is working to tackle the biggest obstacles to autonomous cars – seeing the lane lines in bad weather and integrating data from cameras and other sensors so the cars make the right decisions on the road, Vogt said. “I agree that’s a challenge,” he said. “Looking at lane markers isn’t going to get you there.” Cruise reported one crash to the state

Department of Motor Vehicles in which an autonomous car rear-ended a city of San Francisco parking enforcement vehicle. Vogt said the car’s backup human driver had taken control of the vehicle when it crashed. GM wouldn’t disclose the purchase price of deal, which was announced Friday. It said all Cruise Automation employees will join GM and work as a separate unit, and there are plans to hire more people. It’s GM’s third high-profile venture this year in new mobility. The company has invested $500 million in the ride-sharing company Lyft and it has started a car-sharing service in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that it plans to expand to other metro areas.

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 2016

HARTFORD, Conn. – 50 Cent said the Secret Service is now asking him about the wads of “prop” money that drew questions from the judge in his Connecticut bankruptcy case. The rapper, whose name is Curtis Jackson III, went to court this week to answer for Instagram photos he posted showing stacks of cash. His lawyers say the bills were props. On Thursday night, 50 Cent wrote in an Instagram post that the Secret Service has asked if the fake money was counterfeited. He said he doesn’t know. He also complained about being treated unfairly by the court system and said he was quitting Instagram.

Jessica Alba’s Honest Co. lashes out over ingredients report NEW YORK – Honest Co., co-founded by movie star Jessica Alba, is denying a news report that said its laundry detergent contains an ingredient that it promised its customers that it would never use. Alba helped found Honest Co. about five years ago. It has grown rapidly, selling diapers, soap, lotion and cleaning products that it said are free of “harsh chemicals.” Late last year, it started selling lip gloss, blush and mascara under the brand Honest Beauty. The Wall Street Journal, in a report posted to its website Thursday, said it tested Honest Co.’s detergent at two laboratories and found it had sodium lauryl sulfate. On its website, Honest Co. promises that it doesn’t use SLS – a common ingredient in other brands – because it can cause skin irritation. It said Friday that its detergent contains sodium coco sulfate instead, an ingredient it said is a “gentler alternative.” The company said it conducted “rigorous testing” and said the Journal’s article is wrong and “reckless.” “I am extremely disappointed by the recent Wall Street Journal article full of misrepresentations,” Alba said in a blog post . The Journal said Friday its report “is accurate, fair and meets” its standards. Honest Co., based in Los Angeles, sells its products online and at discount retailer Target, grocery chain Whole Foods and other major stores around the country. Target Corp. said Friday that it had no plans to remove the detergent from its store shelves. Whole Foods Market Inc. said it is working with Honest Co. to “understand the results of the test.”

NEW YORK – Fans of the pop star Kesha are calling on Sony to cut ties with the producer she has accused of raping her. About 35 Kesha fans gathered outside Sony’s Manhattan headquarters Friday. They said they were there to deliver petitions with more than 411,000 signatures demanding that Sony release Kesha from her contract and drop the producer, Dr. Luke. The group chanted “Free Kesha now!” The hit-making producer is not charged with a crime. He said Kesha fabricated her story about being drugged and raped a decade ago to get out of her recording contract. The rally comes a month after a judge denied the “Tik Tok” singer’s request to be released from her contract.

NFL player Russell Wilson, singer Ciara are engaged

NEW YORK – NFL player Russell Wilson and singer Ciara are engaged. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback posted a video on his Facebook page Friday showing himself next to Ciara, who was wearing a bright ring. “She said yes. Yeah! Making this thing happen. My baby,” Wilson said. Ciara added: “I’m so excited. God is so good.” A representative for Ciara confirmed the engagement. The 30-year-old singer was previously engaged to rapper-singer-producer Future. They have a son, Future

Zahir Wilburn, who turns 2 in May. Her hits include “Goodies,” “1, 2 Step” and the Grammy-winning “Lose Control,” with Missy Elliott.

Animal cruelty claim leads authorities to ‘Dog Whisperer’

LOS ANGELES – An online complaint of animal cruelty led authorities to “Dog Whisperer” Cesar Millan’s Los Angeles-area pet rehabilitation center Thursday, but Millan wasn’t there and they took no further action. Footage on Millan’s TV show “Cesar 911” of a French bulldog-terrier mix chasing a pot-bellied pig and nipping its ear until it bled prompted the complaint. Millan was trying to train the dog to be less aggressive. Millan was cooperating fully with Los Angeles County animal control officers who were looking into the claims made in an online petition, said Chad Sandhas, a spokesman for National Geographic Channels, which air the show. Millan, 46, is a self-taught dog trainer who became internationally known for his work on a previous show, the “Dog Whisperer,” which won him an Emmy nomination. Calls and emails were not immediately returned by Los Angeles County Animal Control. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, whose deputies accompanied animal control to Millan’s center in Santa Clarita, did confirm there were no arrests or animal seizures.

NEW YORK – Since coming out a year ago, Caitlyn Jenner has not always been a unifying force in the transgender community. Her latest political remarks – underscoring her conservative outlook and praising Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz – ignited a storm of criticism from supporters of transgender rights, who view most conservative Republicans as adversaries. “Breathtakingly clueless” was the rebuke from blogger Monica Roberts. Tennis great Martina Navratilova and country singer Chely Wright also were among the many people denouncing Jenner. Yet a more nuanced conversation followed, questioning whether transgender Americans must be monolithic in broadly espousing progressive politics, or whether they can make room for differing views in their ranks. Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said she is grateful there are transgender Republicans and would like to see the issue of transgender rights addressed on a nonpartisan basis. She also said it is inevitable that the ranks of transgender Americans would

There is no operation for that, alas. But she CAN become someone who listens, who opens her heart, who has compassion. And so can I.” AP file photo Jenner sparked the furor with comments in a March 2 article in The Advotections for people who oppose it on re- cate, an LGBT-oriented magazine. “I like Ted Cruz,” Jenner said, even ligious grounds.

Making an entrance

Designers offer tips on how to create a stylish front door By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press In summer, it’s not so hard to make a great first impression at the entrance to your home. Put out a few baskets of colorful flowers and your work is done. But early spring? That’s more complicated. March can be “the darkest and gloomiest time of year, and it’s easy to kind of have your house go right along with that,” said stylist and crafter Marianne Canada, host of the “HGTV Crafternoon” web series. “We’re not quite ready for putting out Easter eggs or pastel colors,” but many people are craving a dose of cheerful style and color. Here, Canada and two other designers – Andrew Howard of Jacksonville, Florida, and Brian Patrick Flynn, designer of the HGTV Dream Home 2016 – offer advice on making a home’s entrance inviting and stylish, no matter the season.

Bold color

All three designers suggest painting your front door a bold color that delights you. With little expense and just an afternoon’s effort, you can give your home’s front entrance a major facelift. “And if you get sick of a bold or dark color, so what?” Flynn said. “It’s only a quart of paint to recover a super-small surface.” For houses with dark brick or siding, he suggests a deep, rich color such as forest green. Canada agreed: “My house is almost black,” she said, and the front door is painted a bright teal with white trim. Fresh paint also is practical. “Front doors really should be painted every one to two years anyway,” Howard said. “I also love painting doors in a highgloss finish, or painting the panels one color and the rail and stile another.” He also recommends painting the front porch ceiling; Haint blue commonly is used in the South. And don’t forget your home’s other entrances: “I like painting secondary exterior doors bold colors,” Flynn said. “In my previous house, I painted the side entrance door bright violet, and it became an excellent conversation starter when guests would come over.” Canada points out it’s fine to paint

Distinctive color and hardware elevate the style of this front door and offer a fun contrast to the simple, clean lines of this front entryway, designed by Brian Patrick Flynn. on a chilly day “as long as you’re above 40 degrees and it’s not wet weather.”

Wilder wreaths

“A lot of people think fall and winter when it comes to wreaths,” Canada said, but you can hang them year-round. And if you’re bored with traditional wreaths, create your own. On her door, Canada has a DIY wooden sign (just “a slice of wood,” she said, that’s “still got bark on the edges”) painted with chalkboard paint so it can hold any message or picture. “Mine says ‘Come on in!’,” she said. It’s the perfect place to let kids draw spring flowers or write their own welcome messages. Howard also likes to get the whole family involved in front-door decorating. “Occasionally, if my kids make a wreath or something at school, I will put it up on the front door for a week or so,” he said. “They can proudly show their friends when they come in.”

Hot house numbers

“Gone are the days when people would just buy those reflective sticker numbers and put them on their mailbox and call it done,” Canada said. We’re now seeing “beautiful house numbers ... and going oversize.”

AP photo

If you love bold colors but worry they’d be overpowering on your front door, consider putting a striking shade on a side door, as shown in this photo of a house designed by Brian Patrick Flynn. Flynn sees big, raised house numbers as an investment in the front of a house. “I’m all about splurging on house numbers that honor the architecture of the house, and also going way oversize with them so they’re easily visible from the street,” he said. “I usually opt for laser-cut metallic numbers installed on 2-inch standoffs so they leave a little shadow effect.” Brushed stainless-steel numbers look great on dark-colored houses, Canada said, and classic wrought iron can be gorgeous on a traditional house.

Entertaining everywhere

People are starting to use more of the yard for entertaining, Canada said, including front porches and stoops, not just backyards or decks hidden from the

street. Some are putting firepits in front or side yards in view of neighbors. “It’s a lot more welcoming,” she said. Howard likes to welcome guests with potted plants flanking an entry door. Put out potted ferns in early spring, he suggests, and they’ll probably last through to the first frost in fall. If the house is the right style, Howard said, “I love a great comfortable porch swing. They make them oversize nowadays where you can get comfortable and really stretch out. I also love the idea of a great tile on the front porch, particularly Spanish or Cuban style.” “I am also a big proponent of changing the light fixtures, sconces and door hardware from time to time,” he said. “They can get worn and dirty after a while, and changing them makes for a big improvement.”

A unique fruit

The fruit itself is what makes kumquat stand out from the rest of the citrus crowd. You can eat only the pulp

of oranges and grapefruits, and use only the juice of a lemon or lime. But you can eat a whole kumquat, skin and all. In fact, the skin is perhaps the best part. It has a sweet, spicy flavor. The golden-orange fruits are about the size of a quarter, so they look perfectly proportioned to a potted plant and can be popped whole into your mouth.

Homegrown citrus

The fruits, now ripe, are almost too pretty to eat. Fortunately, they hang in good condition on the plant for many weeks. One of my trees is Nagami, the variety you find in markets, with oval fruits and a refreshing, tart pulp. I also grow Meiwa, which has fruits that are larger, round and have a sweetish pulp.

Just as soon as I harvest the last of my Meiwa and Nagami kumquats, I’ll prepare the plants for next year’s crop. Because both plants are in pots that are as large as I can manage, they’ll get root pruned. Root pruning makes way for fresh soil, which lets me put them right back into their present 10-inch-diameter pots. To root prune, I merely slice away the outer inch or so of root ball with a garden knife. It sounds brutal, but the plant does fine and enjoys being able to spread its roots. The stems also need pruning to encourage fresh growth, avoid congestion and keep the plants a manageable size. I’ll remove some stems completely, shorten others and leave others alone. You could start a kumquat tree from seeds you spit out of store-bought fruit, but it could take 10 years for it to bear fruit. If you have a friend with a kumquat plant, you could propagate a new plant by grafting or from cuttings. Now would be a good time of year for either operation. For grafting, you need a rootstock, which could be a kumquat seedling. The quickest way to harvest your own homegrown kumquats would be to buy a tree, either by mail order or, if available, locally.

Cold and snowy winters agree with me just fine. Still, as a northern gardener, my mouth waters and my hands itch to be able to pluck ripe citrus from a home-grown tree in winter. It can be done; just look at all the potted calamondin orange trees now basking in sunny windows. As pretty as calamondin trees are, though, their fruits are hardly edible. The citrus that offers the most bang for your buck as a potted plant is kumquat. (Once its own genus, Fortunella, it recently was deemed close enough to oranges, grapefruits, lemons and the like to be moved into their shared genus, Citrus, and now goes under the name Citrus japonica.) Like other citrus, kumquat is a pretty sight all year ’round, sporting glossy, evergreen leaves that provide a perfect backdrop for the waxy white flowers. And kumquat’s flowers waft the same sweet fragrance as other citrus plants.

With just a few special considerations, grow kumquat just as you would any other houseplant. Fruiting takes energy, which comes from sunlight, so my kumquat trees spend summers outdoors in almost full sun, and winters at a bright, west-facing window. A bright window – unobstructed by plants or shades – facing east or south would do equally well. A cool room is best in winter. I use the same potting mix I use for other potted plants, consisting of equal parts compost, garden soil, perlite and peat moss. Although this mix offers nutrients, I supplement them with more or less regular applications of some soluble fertilizer, except in late fall and early winter, when the plant is resting. Most commercial potting mixes would be equally suitable.

Kumquat can be grown in cold climates, indoors.

Natural sleep aids not very effective Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in January 2013.

Dear Dr. K: I’m 71 years old and have trouble sleeping. I don’t want to take sleep drugs, but I’m interested in supplements and natural treatments. Do they work? Dear Reader: I understand your concern about conventional sleep medicines. Several widely used medicines have been discovered to have important side effects years after they first were approved for use. However, many supplements and “natural” treatments also can cause side effects. And there has not been a lot of research done to test how effective they are in the many different kinds of sleep disorders that people can have. The most commonly used herbal sleep aid is valerian root. Some studies suggest it is mildly sedating and can help people fall asleep and improve their sleep quality. But the evidence is mixed. An analysis of multiple studies of valerian’s effect on sleep published in 2010 concluded people fell asleep only about a minute sooner than with a sugar pill. There also is some risk of liver damage from valerian, and some women report headaches after using the herb. I’m not aware of good studies of the long-term use of valerian. Finally, while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration monitors how conventional medicines are manufactured, it has no authority from Congress to do that for supplements. In fact, impurities have been found in some herbal preparations that are available over-the-counter. For all these reasons, I don’t recommend valerian. Another popular natural sleep aid is melatonin, which is a hormone made in the brain. It influences body temperature, sleep and daily body rhythms (circadian

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff rhythms). The question is whether melatonin taken as a pill can help with sleep. For most types of sleep problems, I don’t think melatonin has been shown in scientific studies to help sleep. But one condition where melatonin may help sleep is in older adults, like you. People older than 60 with insomnia often have lower levels of nighttime melatonin (as measured in the urine) than those without insomnia. Some studies have found such people may sleep better if they take melatonin supplements. Acupressure appears promising. In acupressure, pressure is placed on acupuncture points without needles. Tai chi and yoga may help you fall asleep faster and improve your quality of sleep. Both have the added benefits of promoting mental relaxation as well as muscle relaxation. Meditation may help as a calming and relaxing technique as well. You also can try drinking a cup of chamomile tea before bed. This age-old home remedy appears to help people relax and become drowsy. Chamomile is both mild and safe. (But avoid it if you’re allergic to plants in the daisy family.) An excellent, short and inexpensive e-book about treatments for women battling insomnia is “Successful Sleep Strategies for Women” by Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Julia Schlam Edelman. You can learn more about this book at askdoctork.com.

this with Nancy? If you haven’t, you should. If you both would like more from your relationship than you have been getting, it might benefit the two of you to have some couples counseling. Sometimes people can be attracted to each other and care about each other, but something prevents the relationship from jelling. Because this push-pull has been going on for so long, it’s time to find out the cause.

sure there’s more to your situation – and possibly your family’s – than you have shared. However, for you to overcome your distrust of others and the feeling that you are “invisible,” you will need to confide in a trusted teacher or counselor at school. You need more help than I can provide in a letter or my column. Licensed mental health providers routinely help individuals who suffer from social anxiety disorder, but to get that help, you will have to find the courage to reach out and ask for it. Dear Abby: Last year, I started a relationship with a woman. At first, everything seemed to flow smoothly, but after a few months we started arguing. We both had issues with irritability and expressing ourselves. “Nancy” and I broke up seven times in a fourmonth period. For reasons I have yet to understand, after each breakup and once we had time to cool off, we both wanted to get back together. We recently went our separate ways again, and I thought this was the last time. She now has contacted me and casually proposed getting together to “hang out” for a while. Without batting an eye, I agreed. I don’t know if I’m hung up on her because I’m truly in love with her, or because I’m just unable to move on. As a couple, we work together well – as long as we aren’t together every day. As friends, there’s always an undertone of romantic interest. I can’t make heads or tails of my emotions concerning her, or hers for me. Any advice? –

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY having trouble with my daily life. Jeanne I have become Phillips more reserved and rarely even look at people. All I do is my schoolwork. I have lost trust in quite a few people over the years, including most of my family members. My parents have taught me to trust almost no one and always to be afraid of strangers. I recently started high school, and I have talked with only two or three people at the most. I have really bad social anxiety, and I’m treated different from my siblings. I’m feeling like my whole life is just a lie and that I’m nothing. I feel like people can’t see me – that I’m invisible to everyone. My family controls my life as if they are dictators. I’ve lost control over any decisions I make and anything I do. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so lost. Please help me. – Lost In El

CUSTODIAN

Zig Ziglar, an author and motivational speaker who died in 2012, said, “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.” We have been looking at the Michaels Cue-Bid and the Unusual No-Trump. There is one important difference between them. If the dealer opens the bidding with one of a suit, and two passes follow, in the fourth position, the Michaels Cue-Bid still applies, but the Unusual NoTrump does not. A balancing two-notrump overcall is natural, in principle showing a hand worth a normal two-no-trump opening with at least one stopper in the opener’s suit. (You might also have only 18 or 19 points when you have a respectable six-card minor to compensate for the shortfall.) You can see this bid in action in today’s deal. When one spade comes around, South might double, but if North advances with two diamonds, South will have no good call. A 4-4 heart fit is unlikely to be lost after South jumps to two no-trump, because North can use Stayman, assuming he has sufficient points for game. Note also that bidding aggressively is a good idea, because South knows where (almost) all of the missing honor cards lie. How should South play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen? Declarer has seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. The simplest line is to win the first trick with his spade king, cash the diamond ace, and lead another diamond to establish two more diamond winners while dummy retains the spade ace as an entry.

BOYS HOCKEY: AHAI VARSITY COMBINED BLACKHAWK CUP

Missed opportunities

Kings defeated in quarterfinals after early lead By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com BENSENVILLE – An early five-minute major power play that could have been a boon for Kings Hockey Club ended up being the starting point for a night of missed opportunities. Even though they took a 1-0 lead on the power play, Kings (made up of players from Jacobs, Huntley, Hampshire, Dundee-Crown and Burlington Central high schools) couldn’t add to the lead any further and went on to concede the game’s next four goals. BGHW beat the Kings, 4-1, Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Combined Varsity Division of the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois Blackhawk Cup at The Edge Ice Arena. No. 3 seed BGHW, with players from Buffalo Grove, Hersey and Wheeling high schools, advances to face second-seeded Waubonsie in the semifinals Sunday night. “You go back to the five-minute power play we had, we only got one and we weren’t sharp at all in our systems, we didn’t run our power play,” Kings coach Joseph Fell said. “We start running around, turn it over, and every time, it ends up killing 30 to 40 seconds. We got the one, I thought we could’ve had two and that could have really set the tone. “The strength of our game is in our forecheck and our speed and maybe it was nerves, maybe it was the magnitude of the game, but we did a lot of standing around, we didn’t really pressure their D in their zone the way we should have.” The sixth-seeded Kings (26-22-5) were left ruing a few missed opportunities when they could have taken control. Forward Scott Pfaff hit the post on a rush in the first two minutes. Then came the five-minute power play. A hit from behind earned BGHW’s Kevin Ruane a five-minute major and game misconduct in the first period. The Kings took the lead with 7:12 left in the first when Jaret Pernice poked in a wide-open rebound from Jonathan Ambrogio’s point shot. The go-ahead goal was a lift, but the Kings ended up regretting not getting more from the extended advantage. “With that five minute, we could

have just kept pounding and pounding and pounding,” Kings senior forward Nick Madej said. “We needed to get more than one, we knew we needed to get more than one.” BGHW (made up of players from Buffalo Grove, Hersey, and Wheeling High Schools) tied the score in the final second of the first period on a power play of their own. Thomas Jackson got the goal from a scrum in front of the net. After giving up the buzzer beater to end the first, the Kings played even with BGHW for much of the second, but again surrendered a late goal. This time it was BGHW’s Maxwell Diesing on a tight angle shot from the right side, making it 2-1 with 1:12 left in the period. The Kings started the third period with 1:29 of power play left, but couldn’t convert and soon after the Stampede made it 3-1 on a quick rush. William Busby scored with 11:53 left in the third to make it a two-goal lead. With 5:52 left, Nick Iliescu made it 4-1 with another power-play goal for BGHW. “(Starting the third) it’s a one-goal game, we’ve got a minute and a half of power-play time, that’s plenty of time for us.

I’m really proud of our team,” Madej said. matter how we got to this point,” Fell said. “We have fresh ice, we haven’t played our best hockey and I still – those guys have beat us three out of three times now, they’re a good team – but I still think we just didn’t capitalize on the chances we should’ve and I think their goalie made big saves when he needed to.” BGHW’s Tyler Anzelmo made 24 saves, and Kings goalie Anthony Oleksy stopped 22 shots.

Purdue’s Vince Edwards blocks a shot by Illinois’ Jaylon Tate during the second half Friday in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: BIG TEN TOURNAMENT

Purdue overwhelms Illinois The ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS – Reserve center Isaac Haas scored 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting Friday, and 13th-ranked Purdue crushed Illinois, 89-58, in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals. Vince Edwards added 14 points, Caleb Swanigan had 11 points and 12 rebounds and Dakota Mathias added 11 for Purdue (25-7), which shot 58.3 percent. Illinois (15-19), the No. 12 seed, got 17 points from Maverick Morgan, 16 from Malcolm Hill and 13 from Kendrick Nunn. The fourth-seeded Boilermakers made 24 of their first 36 shots, including 8 of 14 from 3-point range, taking a 60-27 lead on P.J. Thompson’s 3-pointer with 15:59 left. Consecutive 3-pointers from Edwards pushed the Boilermakers’ lead to 66-30 with 12:13 to play. Michigan 72, No. 10 Indiana 69: Kameron Chatman made a 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left to give Michigan an upset victory over top-seeded Indiana. It was only the second field goal Chatman made, and it came right in front of the Wolverines’ bench. It sent eighth-seeded Michigan (2211) into Saturday’s semifinals against Purdue. Zak Irvin led the Wolverines with 17 points and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman had 15. Troy Williams scored 16 and Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell had 14 for the Big Ten regular-season champs. The Hoosiers (25-7) have reached the semis only once since 2007. Indiana appeared to have the game in hand when it took a 66-61 lead with 2:36 left. But the

Wolverines rallied to score the final six points. No. 2 Michigan St. 81, Ohio St. 54: Big Ten player of the year Denzel Valentine had 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and Eron Harris added 13 points to help Michigan State blow out Ohio State. The Spartans (27-5) have won 11 of 12. JaQuan Lyle had 10 points to lead the Buckeyes (20-13), who have lost three of five and must wait until Sunday to see whether they will get in the NCAA tournament. Although it was a rough night by every measure for the Buckeyes, their most glaring problem was making 3s. Ohio State missed its first 10 shots from beyond the arc and finally ended the drought with Lyle’s shot with 74 seconds to go. Ohio State finished 1 of 11, while the Spartans were 8 of 23. No. 18 Maryland 97, Nebraska 86: Jake Layman scored a season-high 26 points, freshman Diamond Stone had 23 and Maryland beat 11th-seeded Nebraska. Maryland led by as many as 23 in the second half before Nebraska closed to 92-86 with 1:37 to play. Damonte Dodd and Layman combined to make three free throws down the stretch to help seal the win. Layman went 6 for 9 from 3-point range. The previous season high for the senior was 19 points. Next up for the third-seeded Terrapins (25-7) is Michigan State on Saturday. Nebraska (16-18) fought back behind the hot shooting of Andrew White III, who made five 3-pointers and scored 25 points. Shavon Shields added 19 points.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Katelynn Russ has put up huge numbers this season as a member of the Upper Fox Valley Girls Hockey Club. The 17-year-old Crystal Lake South senior has 88 points (57 goals, 31 assists) in only 23 games, but she’ll be the first to admit that scoring Katelynn Russ is not the most important aspect of her game. “Most of all, it’s not about me,” Russ said. “ ‘Spread the love,’ as we say. I like to get some of the newer girls points. I don’t show up here hoping to have the top stats. It’s about coming here to have fun and help other girls out.” For her on-ice accomplishments and selflessness as a teammate, Russ recently was named the Illinois Girls Hockey Player of the Year by the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois. She will be recognized this weekend during the Illinois State High School Boys Championships at the United Center in Chicago. “(I feel) more like humble because there are a lot of girls in the league and a lot of good girls I’ve got to play against, and even some of my teammates I play with,” Russ said. “Just the thought of being considered one of the top players is an honor. I was just speechless when I found out about it.” Her coach, Patrick O’Brien, shared similar sentiments. During his three years behind the bench, he

watched Russ grow into her role not just as a hockey player, but also as a positive influence for those around her. “We don’t have captains, we don’t put a captain’s ‘C’ on anybody’s chest,” O’Brien said. “But I believe as a team, that leaders develop themselves through action, through performance, through compassion, and Katelynn is absolutely a leader, if not the leader on our team because she cares about everybody’s performance, not only her own.” Helping guide the team to an 18-4-1 record and an appearance in this weekend’s Chicago Metro Division title game, Russ credited the team’s previous upperclassmen leadership for setting an example for her to follow. “Since my freshman year, I developed into more of a leader,” Russ said. “I always take it upon myself to take the younger players under my wings.” Russ, who also plays for the Chicago Young Americans travel program, will continue her playing career next year at Division I Union College in New York, where she plans on studying biomedical engineering. But before any of this happens, she’ll have the opportunity to stand in front of hundreds of fans to accept the state’s greatest girls hockey honor. It’s a feeling that hasn’t even struck yet. “It’s gonna be surreal. I don’t think it’s hit me that I’ve won this award and what it truly means,” Russ said. “But, I think when I get out there [on the ice] and see all the people, I think it’ll finally hit me. I’m just so humbled by the experience.”

Rose sits out lopsided loss to Miami By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Derrick Rose wasn’t trying to be flippant in his response, as much as he was just trying to answer the question. Asked the difference in finishing eighth in the Eastern Conference standings compared to ninth, the Bulls guard responded, “Eighth and ninth? One is in (the playoffs) and one is out.” After a 118-96 loss to the Miami Heat on Friday at the United Center, the Bulls remained in that not-so-friendly latter spot. Even with Detroit losing to Charlotte earlier in the night, the Bulls stayed on the outside looking in with a 32-32 record. But Rose talk wasn’t done there. It was announced earlier in the day that Rose (groin) would be questionable for the key matchup with Miami, but after he went through treatments and warm-ups, questionable was downgraded to out as the game neared. Simple, right? Nothing usually is with Rose. Coach Fred Hoiberg said it was a

team decision to keep Rose out. However, like Rose said two weeks ago when his hamstring was acting up, he made it clear that it again was his decision. “Frustrating? I wouldn’t say it’s frustrating,” Rose said of the latest setback. “I’m controlling all I can control. Try my hardest to be out there, but like

I said, the reality of it is stuff like this happens.’’ Asked whether it was his call, Rose said, “Yeah, just listening to my body. I think that nobody knows my body but me, so just trying to listen to it.” Hoiberg tried to make it sound like the team was on board, or maybe he was just trying to play shield for Rose and the criticism that seems to follow whenever the guard rules himself out of games. “It’s everybody’s decision with the way he feels,” Hoiberg said. “He does have a strain in there. I don’t know how serious or long he’ll be out. It’s a dayto-day type thing is what it looks like right now. Just try and keep him moving, keep him loose, but right now, the decision was made with everybody that the right thing to do was not play him [Friday].” A critical time for an injury, especially with Jimmy Butler still getting over his left knee strain, and not likely to return until Monday in Toronto. Not that Rose was going to panic. Like he said a few weeks back, if his body doesn’t feel right he’s not going to push it. The importance of a March game with playoff implications will not

change that. Asked if his team was still lingering in that No. 8 or 9 spot at the end of March, would he be more likely to play through tweaks considering what’s at stake, Rose said, “Just keep doing what I’m doing. I don’t answer if questions. Ifs never happen.” Rose did say the plan was to have him back up and running by Monday, but again, he made no promises. As far as what happened against Miami? Very little, especially in the fourth quarter when the Bulls were outscored 34-15. And like it was Thursday night in San Antonio, turnovers were again an issue. Miami forced the Bulls into 18 turnovers and scored 19 points off of them. The Bulls forced only eight turnovers. “We made mistakes, they capitalized,” Pau Gasol said of the latest loss. “They busted the game open, got going, made shots, and the game was over.” Noah’s return: After a lengthy stint back in New York City for his season-ending shoulder rehabilitation, Joakim Noah rejoined the team Friday, and plans on staying with the Bulls until the end of the basketball year.

Team drops into 3rd place in Central By MARK LAZERUS

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford looks for the puck as it hits the back of the goal on a shot by Stars center Jason Spezza during the first period Friday in Dallas. od, as Antoine Roussel, Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn all scored from right on the doorstep to make it 4-0. Joel Quenneville pulled Crawford in favor of Scott Darling at that point, but goaltending was hardly the only problem. “The St. Louis game was all right, but tonight’s game was not good at all,” Quenneville said. “Our special teams had probably as bad a night as we could have.” Teuvo Teravainen gave the Hawks a glimmer of hope when he scored off a Tomas Fleischmann feed at 13:01 of the second, but that was as close as they’d get, even with Quenneville pulling Darling for an extra attacker with more than eight minutes left in the third period. Ales Hemsky scored an empty-netter with 4:20 left to seal it, with Fleischmann scoring in the final minute for the final margin. Artem Anisimov sat out most of the third period after suffering an apparent shoulder injury. Quenneville said it was just a precaution, and that Anisimov shouldn’t miss any time. That and the solid play of Teravainen’s line were the lone bright spots in an otherwise gloomy night for the Hawks. “It’s disappointing, it’s frustrating,” Toews said. “We ran into a team that was sitting here and ready for us, and we didn’t have the speed and the work ethic in the battles in the corners that we needed. So eventually we ended up taking penalties and ended up hurting ourselves. We’ve got to be better than that.”

DALLAS – It was a road trip only a mother could love. Faced with two straight showdowns against their injury-riddled Central Division rivals – and with their moms along for the trip – the Blackhawks fell flat, gaining one of a possible four points and falling from first to third place as the regular season reaches its final four weeks. The Hawks followed their shootout loss to St. Louis (one in which they were fortunate to salvage a point) with a dreadful 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars (who were without Patrick Sharp and three of their top six defensemen) Friday night. Combined with the Blues’ win over Anaheim, the Hawks are now looking up at the two other contenders for the division crown and home-ice advantage in at least the first two rounds of the playoffs. “We had a chance to put ourselves in a great spot with two wins against these two teams,” Jonathan Toews said. “There’s still time, obviously, to hang in there and try to stay on top of our division. But we definitely didn’t help ourselves with the way (we played) the last two games.” Minor March stumbles are nothing new for the Hawks, who turned out just fine after miserable stretches in midMarch each of the past two years. But given their mediocre 17-14-4 record on the road, seeding might actually matter this year. “Nobody’s panicking,” Marian Hossa said with a weary chuckle. “We’ve got a great team here, we’re in a good spot, a good situation. We’re better than we were tonight.” Couldn’t be much worse. The Hawks never were in this one, as their defense abandoned Corey Crawford, their offense mustered very little, their special teams were a disaster, and they took lazy, flat-footed penalties. After squandering nearly four minutes of power-play time in the first period – including a brief 5-on-3 advantage – the Hawks promptly gave up a power-play goal to Jason Spezza. Even with Hossa back in the lineup, the Hawks were 4 of 6 on the penalty kill Friday, and are 24 of 36 since Feb. 13. The wheels came off in the second peri-

10 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Rodon doesn’t need slider to dominate White Sox power past Padres

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

PEORIA, Ariz. – It has been a long time since White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon pitched without throwing a slider, his bread-and-butter pitch. “Middle school,” he said. But spring training is for experimentation, working on specific issues and honing skills. Rodon’s slider already was one of the nastiest in the game last year, his first in the big leagues. It’s not hard to envision him becoming Cy Young-caliber with better fastball command and the development of his third pitch, a changeup. That’s what he worked on exclusively in four innings against the Padres on Friday. “Just mostly fastball-changeup,” said Rodon, who didn’t throw one slider after throwing just a handful in his previous start (three scoreless innings). “I didn’t throw many changeup strikes, just still getting the feel for it. But the fastball command was good.” Even without a slider, Rodon allowed only two hits (including a broken-bat single), walked no one and struck out three. That says something about the progress he’s making in his second year. “It was pretty cool,” said Rodon, who

PEORIA, Ariz. – Leury Garcia, Jimmy Rollins and Jose Abreu homered in the third inning in the White Sox’s 8-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday. Garcia and Abreu hit solo shots and Rollins a two-run homer to knock out Padres starter James Shields. Shields faced 18 hitters, and nine reached base during his 22/3 innings. In the fifth, Courtney Hawkins hit the Sox’s fourth homer of the game. Lefty Carlos Rodon went four strong innings for the Sox and picked up his second win of the spring. AP photo

varro said. Rodon used his slider on 31 percent of his pitches last season, when he posted a 3.75 ERA and didn’t allow more than two runs in any of his last eight starts. During that stretch, his fastball command got sharper. “That’s the most important thing,” Navarro said. “It doesn’t matter how hard you throw or what kind of stuff you’ve got if you fall behind the hitters. We’re facing pretty good hitters throughout the league, and he just did

and doing what he’s got to do.” Notes: The Sox made their first roster moves of the spring, optioning righthander Chris Beck and outfielder Daniel Fields to Triple-A Charlotte and reassigning right-handers Colin Kleven, Peter Tago and Josh Wall, left-handers Will Lamb and Nik Turley and catcher Omar Narvaez to minor league camp. ... Outfielder Adam Eaton continues to build up strength in his throwing arm and is getting closer to doing something other than serving as the designated hitter.

The White Sox’s Carlos Rodon pitches during the first inning of a spring training game against the San Diego Padres on Friday in Peoria, Ariz. a great job. Hopefully, he keeps working has walked one and hasn’t allowed a run in seven innings. “Being able to go fastball-changeup and be able to succeed and compete with them was pretty awesome. Gave me a little more confidence.” One item of business for the Sox in camp is to get catchers Alex Avila and Dioner Navarro familiar with the pitching staff. Navarro, who caught Rodon on Friday, has seen Rodon’s slider in side sessions. “I wanted to see how far he can go without it, and he did a great job,” Na-

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Maddon remains confident in Lester’s fielding By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs manager Joe Maddon acknowledged Friday that pitcher Jon Lester might never completely solve his problems throwing to bases, given the fact the 32-year-old left-hander traces the issue to his high school days. But Maddon said he feels confident that continued work will “ameliorate” the problem moving forward – with or without personal catcher David Ross, who retires at the end of this season. “True, it may not [get fully corrected],” Maddon said. “But I think we did a great job with it last year. “I love the fact that he’s saying that `I’ve had this problem for a while.’ If in fact it’s going to get better, that’s a wonderful first step as opposed to wanting to conceal it all the time.” Lester’s infield issues surfaced again in his first start of the spring Thursday, when he chose to underhand a 45-foot throw for an out, allowed a bunt to roll

past him to the first baseman for a hit and short-armed a 40-foot throw to second for an error. Maddon, who raved about the improved delivery and sharpness of some of Lester’s pitches during the high-traffic outing, said even though other teams are well aware of the yips thing, exploiting it isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Joe Maddon “We tried to do things to mess him up, and we couldn’t get guys on base,” Maddon said, referring to managing the Rays when Lester pitched for the Red Sox. “And you can say, `Well, you can bunt.’ In theory that’s nice, but not everybody can bunt or wants to bunt.” Lester did a few things later last season that improved the issue, including timing changes and even a few throws to first. Both he and Maddon found optimism in those improvements. “We’re going to continue to work on

that, but I want the emphasis to be on his delivery and his stuff, and making pitches,” Maddon said. “I think if we do that we’ll be able to work through the other thing.” Notes: Maddon defended his front office from Hall of Fame pitcher Goose Gossage’s rant this week about Ivy League “nerds” turning the game into a “freaking joke” because “they don’t know [expletive].” “I really like Goose,” Maddon said. “But everything evolves. If the things that are available (through analytics) now had been available in the ’40s, I believe, without question, Mr. (Branch) Rickey would have been all over this stuff and it would be considered old school right now. Our front office is spectacular regarding being able to balance the old and the new.” And Maddon added: “I love nerds. And I wish I had some nerd-ism in me. These guys went to school, went to class, wrote their own papers. They can give me some information that I don’t have, and I’ll take it.”

Rizzo doubles twice; Cubs top Reds MESA, Ariz. – Anthony Rizzo doubled twice Friday in the Cubs’ 7-4 victory over a Cincinnati Reds split-squad team. Rizzo went 2 for 2 with a walk, scored twice and raised his Cactus League batting average from .182 to .308. John Lackey, making his first start, gave up three runs and five hits in three innings for the Cubs. He walked one and struck out four. Lackey said the plan was for him to throw two innings, but he tossed so few pitches that he decided to go for a third inning.

– The Associated Press

• Kyle Schwarber said his left knee felt better Friday, the morning after leaving a game when he experienced “discomfort” on the follow-through of a throw from left field to the plate. He participated in pre-workout jogging Friday morning, but Maddon said the catcher-outfielder will sit out until at least Sunday.

Hard-hitting Trevathan a steal for Bears Ex-Colts ILB Freeman visits Bears

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

As first reported by Chris Hagan of Fox59 in Indianapolis, former Colts inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman visited the Bears on Friday. The Falcons and Giants also are interested, LAKE FOREST – My first reaction according to the report. studying Danny Trevathan on ThursThe 29-year-old was in the CFL before joining day as he met the Chicago media for the the Colts in 2012. He has started all 57 games first time since signing his four-year, he has played in Indianapolis the past four $24.5 million free agent contract, includseasons. He had 145 tackles in 2012, 126 in ing $12 million guaranteed, was “Wow, 2013, 95 (in 12 games) in 2014 and 112 (in 13 he’s smaller than I thought.” Trevathan’s response to the concern games) last season. is, “It’s an issue for everybody else, not Freeman has 16 career passes defensed, for me.

I like that people keep The Bears introduced inside linebacker saying it’s something about me.

I love this game of footduring an introductory news conference for the two free-agent signees in Lake Forest. known for his size at 6-foot, 240 pounds. But, ball, and whatever I’ve got to do to keep also like Trevathan, Freeman has been producdoing, I’m going to keep doing.” body like that in front of you, and playsome plays.” tive in his four NFL seasons. The single greatest impression Trevathan created in his debut in Chicago was that he’s a fighter, a winner, and that the way he plays the game he just might be a better fit for the legendary 1985 Bears than the current model. I asked Trevathan whether he really understood the Bears’ legacy at the middle/inside linebacker position and whether he understood why Bears fans value the position so greatly. “I don’t think there’s anybody that’s played linebacker that hasn’t heard about them (Bears LBs of the past),” he said. “Just the great tradition of linebackers to come through here, and to be in the presence of where they were and to have my name right there, it’s an opportunity for me to make the most of it. “Those were some great players, man. Linebackers coming down hitting … that is my style. I know I have to go out there and feed off of them and make

Trevathan also appears to have done his homework on his new defensive coordinator. “This is one of the defenses I thrived in. Vic (Fangio) defenses – he’s really a mastermind with it and one of the coolest defensive coordinators out there. So I’m really excited about that,” he said. “He’s the wizard at scheming, making up plays and putting you in the best position possible. So I think it’s a great situation here.” Trevathan even had some nice things to say about the guy who was in his seat last year and is now one of his new running mates. “We’ve (Trevathan and Pernell McPhee) got the same agent, I believe. He’s a monster. Every time he’s putting his hands on somebody, it’s a train wreck. “That’s similar to my style. I’m kind of back a little bit further, so I get a little bit more momentum. But to have some-

ing with my attitude, I think it could be spectacular with things we do.” While Trevathan looks more in street clothes like a safety than an inside linebacker, when you turn on the tape and see him in pads there is no question he belongs right in the middle of the defense. He has outstanding functional football speed, always seems to be coming downhill, and when he arrives at the point of attack it is with very bad intentions. What I can’t figure out is how the Bears got him so cheap – cheap obviously being a relative term in this context. Trevathan played 16 games primarily as a special-teamer as a 2012 rookie sixth-round draft choice, he started all 16 games in the Broncos’ 2013 season, missed 13 games with a knee injury in 2014 and then started 15 games this past season. In his two full seasons as a Broncos

starter, he was their leading tackler, called the defenses and was arguably the defensive MVP behind DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller. Yet among his teammates, part-time starter Malik Jackson got $42 million guaranteed from the Jaguars, career backup Brock Osweiler got $37 million guaranteed from Houston and part-time starter Derek Wolfe got $12.2 million more than Trevathan to stay in Denver. What were the Broncos thinking? I’ve always said I’d rather be lucky than good, but it appears with the Trevathan deal the Bears may have been a whole bunch of both. • Chicago Football editor Hub Arkush can be reached at harkush@ chicagofootball.com and on Twitter @ Hub_Arkush.

NFL NOTES

Broncos acquire QB Sanchez; Browns waive Manziel The ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER – Mark Sanchez is getting a change of scenery and a new job description: replacing Peyton Manning. Instead of being buried deep on Philadelphia’s depth chart, the veteran quarterback has a chance to lead Denver’s defense of its Super Bowl title. He proved early in his career that he can take a team with a great defense on a deep playoff run and he’ll be asked to do the same in Denver if he emerges as the starter. The Broncos acquired the seven-year

veteran from the Eagles on Friday, a move Denver general manager John Elway calls the first step toward replacing Manning. The Super Bowl champions were left without an experienced quarterback this week when five-time MVP Manning retired and Brock Osweiler signed with Houston as a free agent. So they have turned to Sanchez, who was acquired for a conditional 2017 draft pick. “He brings veteran leadership & will compete,” Elway tweeted. “This is the 1st step in our process.” Sanchez, 29, is due $4.5 million next

season in the final year of his contract. The Broncos had hoped to hand things over to Osweiler, Manning’s longtime apprentice. But they were outbid by the Texans, who signed Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract Thursday. That deal includes $37 million in guarantees for a quarterback who suffered four injuries in seven career starts, all in 2015. Browns release Manziel: At Cleveland, Johnny Manziel’s tightest spiral with the Browns was a downward one. Less than two years after arriving armed with a Heisman Trophy, full of

swagger and touted as a savior for this football-frenzied city’s sagging franchise, Manziel was shown the door – a rude exit for the overhyped quarterback. Manziel, who did as much partying as playing during two drama-filled seasons with the Browns, was waived Friday. Welcomed as a hero, he leaves as one of the biggest busts in team – and perhaps – NFL history. The Browns had hoped to recoup something for the former Texas A&M star, but after failing to find a team interested in trading for him the past two days, the team finally cut ties.
