Good morning, McHenry County ...

My office pool answers revealed It seemed like it would never get here, but Election Day has arrived.

It is a much bigger day for McHenry County Republicans, since they have competitive races to vote in. County Democrats? Not so much.

Regardless of your political party, you should get up off the couch and vote. If participation in our little election night office pool is any indication, voter turnout in McHenry County will remain terribly dismal.

A number of key races are on the ballot.

Brush up on them on our Election Central website – nwherald.com/election – before you vote.

Here are my election office pool answers: • Who will win the McHenry County recorder Republican primary? Joe Tirio • How many incumbent County Board members will win in their primary? (Note: Jeff Thorsen will be considered an incumbent.)

NEW YORK – A criminal investigation is underway after a video surfaced online showing a man urinating on a Kellogg factory assembly line, the company said. Kellogg said it learned of the video Friday and alerted law enforcement authorities and regulators. An investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Criminal Investigation, the company said.

The FDA said in a statement it is aware of the video. It said it does not confirm or deny investigations, but that “we can assure consumers that we take seriously our mission to protect the public health.”

The graphic video on the site World Star Hip Hop shows a man urinating on an assembly line, then panning to a sign with the Kellogg logo.

VOTERS HEADING TO POLLS

Early voting numbers break record in county

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com If early voting numbers are any indicator, McHenry County voters are itching to make some big choices.

About 10,000 county residents had voted early as of noon Monday, with hours yet to go before the 10 stations closed before Tuesday’s primary.

That number is about triple the previous record, McHenry County Clerk

Mary McClellan said.

Illinois voters long have wanted to have a presidential primary that had not yet been decided by mid-March – one in which the state’s voice would matter. That wish has been granted, for Democrats and Republicans alike, and the big day is here.

Voters of both parties will decide who will represent them in the Nov. 8 election. From top to bottom, voters have some important decisions to make.

Republican voters will pick whether they want Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich or Marco Rubio as their presidential nominee, while Democratic voters have a choice between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk faces a primary challenge

from James Marter, while U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, Andrea Zopp and state Sen. Napoleon Harris are in a three-way race to be the candidate to try to retake the seat in November.

Kirk is considered to be the most vulnerable GOP senator this election year.

Voters in the 6th Congressional District also have choices. Republicans will choose between incumbent Rep. Peter Roskam and challenger Gordon Kinzler. Democrats Amanda Howland and Robert Marshall are running for their party’s nod.

While GOP voters in the 14th Congressional District don’t have a contested primary – Rep. Randy Hultgren is running unopposed – Democratic

Officials encourage residents to lobby for TIF suit settlement

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – Village officials are encouraging area residents who support the planned Woodman’s Food Market at Routes 120 and 12 to lobby the taxing bodies behind a tax increment financing district lawsuit to accept a settlement regarding the property.

Wauconda School District 118, Wauconda Township and the Wauconda Library District filed the lawsuit last March shortly after the TIF district was approved stating the area is not prone to “chronic flooding,” the basis upon which the village filed for the TIF. A letter from Village President Todd Weihofen urging residents to email elected officials was among several documents related to the development posted on the “Friends of Lakemoor” Facebook page this weekend.

The village said engineering costs for necessary infrastructure improvements – including floodplain, stormwater and road improvements and extensions of water mains and sewers – are $9.47 million.

Weihofen said the village has offered a settlement that would provide the property’s taxing districts a minimum of $100,000 in sales tax per year once the store opens; a village estimate said District 118 would receive $69,000 of that.

Weihofen said the village made the offer

last week and has not heard a response or a timeline from the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

“I could not imagine anybody looking at that deal and not coming around,” Weihofen said. “It’s just amazing they haven’t responded to it yet.”

According to previous Northwest Herald reporting, the TIF district was expected to increase the equalized assessed value of the area from $20,000 to about $13 million over the 23-year lifespan of the TIF. The TIF district would capture any revenue generated over the current rate.

Weihofen said the village anticipated the store’s sales taxes to bring in $800,000 to Todd $1 million a year. He also Weihofen contends it would bring new development outside the TIF district.

District 118 Superintendent Daniel Coles said the school district, library district and township will be discussing the offer during closed sessions at their respective board meetings this week, but it would be premature to comment further before those discussions.

Lakemoor officials are asking supporters of the planned Woodman’s to attend those meetings.

“This whole thing has got nothing to do with them not thinking the TIF qualifies,” Weihofen said. “It has to do with, they want more money.”

Man fired pellet gun, started fire, police say

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A 21-year-old Crystal Lake-area man remained in McHenry County Jail on Monday after police said he fired a pellet gun and started a small fire outside his home during a domestic dispute.

McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 10 p.m Sunday to a home in the 6100 block of Robin Lane in unincorporated Crystal Lake after a family member alerted police to a domestic disturbance, Deputy Aimee Knop said.

Knop said when police arrived, they learned Michael E. Graves had shot a pellet handgun, breaking a window on a vehicle outside the home.

Police also allege Graves started a small fire in a metal trash can outside.

The fire had extinguished itself by the time police and the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department arrived, Knop said.

No one was hurt during the incident, and Graves was arrested shortly after police arrived, Knop said.

“Michael was taken into custody without incident,” Knop said.

Graves is charged with aggravated assault and criminal damage to property, both Class A misdemeanors, as well as disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor. The most serious charges typically carry up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Michael E. He is being held in Graves McHenry County Jail on $1,500 bond.

Court records show Sunday’s incident was the second time in less than a week Graves was in police custody. He was charged Wednesday with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting a peace officer.

According to jail records, he had been released Friday.

Food truck to sell hot dogs, other items this summer

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – The village of Fox Lake will allow a vendor to sell hot dogs and other items out of a food truck at Lakefront Park this summer after a now-stalled state grant forced the program to take a year hiatus.

Big Daddy Dog and Creamery will be at the park along Nippersink Lake from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays from May 28 to Aug. 28. Offerings will include footlong and standard hot dogs, nachos, chips, pickles on sticks, pop and water.

The food truck had been at the park during the summer of 2014 as part of a pilot program, Mayor Donny Schmit said. He said the first year was successful.

“It started out slow, but by the end of the year there were people coming in off the lake and enjoying our park and buying from this vendor,” Schmit said.

But the program took a break in 2015 after the village was awarded an

The village was preparing for construction to start on a splash pad, new locker rooms and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, but Gov. Bruce Rauner suspended the grant before work began, Schmit said.

“We had to begin construction in July, so the park was going to be closed,” Schmit said. “So we canceled events and everything else, and then the grant got taken away from us.”

Schmit said if this summer is as successful as the pilot program was, officials will consider allowing more vendors to operate in the park.

LOCAL BRIEF Severe thunderstorms possible Tuesday in McHenry County

National Weather Service meteorologists warn there is a slight chance a round of thunderstorms expected to roll into McHenry County on Tuesday could turn severe.

There is a chance for thunderstorms Tuesday morning and early afternoon, with thunderstorms likely during the midto late afternoon and into the evening, according to a hazardous weather out-

look issued for nearly two dozen counties in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.

“There remains quite a bit of uncertainty on the coverage of any severe storms,” the outlook said. “But if any do develop, they could bring hail, wind and a tornado threat.”

The forecast calls for temperatures Tuesday to be in the upper 60s, with wind gusts up to 30 mph in the afternoon.

Project gets grant; students to add 120 plants

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Glacier Ridge Elementary School third-graders this spring will continue an ongoing project that is teaching students about restoring native plants thanks to a grant from the Wildflower Preservation and Propagation Committee.

The students will be planting about 120 plants in the courtyard garden, an ongoing project that started last spring with a $125 grant and 30 plants, Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 spokeswoman Denise Barr said.

Third-grade teacher Libby Leman applied and submitted a grant proposal for a second grant in November 2015, and the next month, the Wildflower Preservation and Propagation Committee chose the district for its courtyard garden project.

Barr said the project is one students and staff all can enjoy, but it also helps facilitate lessons about

preservation and wildlife.

“Going forward, this is about our Glacier Ridge community working as a team across grade levels, positions and volunteer groups to establish an ongoing outdoor learning environment where skills from all curriculum areas can be applied,” Leman said in a statement. “It’s a hands-on opportunity for students to care for the earth and learn about restoring native prairie and woodland plants.”

The committee has awarded a similar grant to Husmann Elementary and is into its fifth grant cycle with Hannah Beardsley, supporting a retention pond.

Leman said she plans to look for support for more plantings in the courtyard. In effort to put a bench in the garden, Glacier Ridge is conducting a plastic recycling drive.

The garden will be used as a recreational space for lunch breaks and teacher read-alouds, as well as for students to observe and journal, Barr said.

ELGIN – An 18-year-old Lake in the Hills man is wanted in connection with the kidnapping and torture of his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend, Elgin police said Monday.

Police have issued a warrant for Luis M. Palomar, of the 0-100 block of Clark Avenue, said Dan O’Shea, Elgin police operations bureau commander.

Palomar is wanted on Class X felony charges of home invasion, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery, police said.

He also is charged with Class 1 aggravated battery-torture, the release said. The charges stem from a report police received at 6:55 a.m. Feb. 27 saying that a woman was being held against her will in the 300 block of Raymond Street, Elgin, police said.

They located the 19-year-old victim who had obvious signs of injuries in the residence and took her to a local hospital, police said.

The victim told police she had been at a residence in the 500 block of Levin Court with Palomar when four females entered the residence with his help and forcibly removed her from the residence, police said.

Continued from page A3 candidates John Hosta, Jesse Maggitt and Jim Walz are in a three-way race to go up against him in November.

Voters in several Illinois House and Senate districts have some contested primaries to decide as well.

The three-way Republican race to succeed retiring state Rep. Mike Tryon in the 66th Illinois House District has become the race to watch in McHenry County.

Candidates Allen Skillicorn, Dan Wilbrandt and Carolyn Schofield are running for the seat. A fourth, Paul Serwatka, dropped out of the race, although his name still will appear on the ballot.

The winner will face Democratic challenger Nancy Zettler in November – she is running unopposed in the primary.

While Democrats don’t have a candidate running in the 26th Illinois Senate District, Republican voters will settle a three-way race.

Dan McConchie, Martin McLaughlin and Casey Urlacher are running to succeed Republican Sen. Dan Duffy, who is not seeking a third term.

In the 63rd Illinois House District, Republican Steven Reick is running against Jeffery Lichte to see who will run in November against Democratic incumbent Jack Franks, who is running

unopposed in the primary.

While Democratic voters don’t have any contested races at the county level, they abound for Republicans.

Incumbent McHenry County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller faces a challenge from board member Michael Walkup, who also is running for re-election to his board seat so he still can vote on issues under state law.

This is the first election in which voters will directly elect the chairman, after a successful 2014 referendum.

Republican voters will choose a state’s attorney candidate between Patrick Kenneally and Dan Regna, and choose from a three-way field of Joe Tirio, Joni Smith and Tina Hill for county recorder. State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi and Recorder Phyllis Walters are not seeking re-election.

All six County Board districts have contested GOP primaries for the two open seats in each. In November, each one but District 4 will face a Democratic challenger.

County Republican voters also will choose between James Cowlin and Demetri Tsilimigras for the judge seat on the county’s 22nd Judicial Circuit that Cowlin holds by appointment.

The Democratic Party of McHenry County expects after the primary to caucus in several additional candidates for county races, party Chairman Michael Bissett said.

STATE STATE BRIEFS

Spending plan outlines $180M repair backlog at fairgrounds

SPRINGFIELD – A spending plan from Gov. Bruce Rauner outlines a $180 million backlog in repairs and maintenance for the state fairgrounds in Springfield and Du Quoin. If the backlog is allowed to go on, it will make it more difficult for the facilities to compete to host major events, according to the governor’s plan, which was outlined last month.

More than a dozen roofs at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield are in need of repair or replacement, the State Journal-Register reported. The fairgrounds also needs an update to its above-ground electrical system and repairs on roads covered with potholes.

The Du Quoin fairgrounds need grandstand repairs, roof replacements, a fire-alarm system and life-safety improvements. Illinois lawmakers haven’t yet agreed on a way to pay for the work.

“We have to come up with a new capital plan. I don’t know what form that’s going to take yet. I haven’t seen any real proposals,” state Rep. Tim Butler said last week during a tour of the Springfield fairgrounds with representatives of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Chicago police: 3 officers hurt in shootout, suspect killed

CHICAGO – A shootout between Chicago police and a suspect in drug activity on the city’s West Side late Monday left one man dead and three police officers wounded. The officers were rushed to Stroger Hospital for treatment of injuries that are not life-threatening, according to police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

The shooting occurred as several police officers were investigating reported drug activity in a residential area of the Homan Square neighborhood, Guglielmi said. The officers observed two men acting suspiciously and decided to investigate further, announcing their presence, he said.

The two men fled, with police giving chase. One of the men ran into a gangway between two buildings and opened fire in the direction of the officers, hitting three of them multiple times, Guglielmi said. He said one of the officers returned fire, fatally injuring the suspect, who hasn’t been identified.

It wasn’t immediately known if the second suspect was in custody.

Presidential hopefuls make campaign stops in Illinois

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Presidential hopefuls were wearing a path through Illinois on Monday, as the typically predictable state suddenly has become ground for some possible political upsets in key primary races.

Democratic former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders both are working to appeal to minority voters and union members in the labor-friendly state, as Clinton hopes to win the state where she was born. Sanders was hoping for a surprise on Tuesday like last week when he defeated Clinton in Michigan.

On the Republican side, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz had a full day of stops planned across Illinois as he tries to best billionaire Donald Trump, who canceled a rally Friday in Chicago, citing security concerns after thousands of people showed up to protest.

More than 1,000 delegates in both parties are at stake Tuesday when Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio vote.

The highest-stakes contests are in Florida and Ohio, where the winnertake-all Republican primaries award 99 and 66 delegates respectively and are must-wins for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Illinois offers an opportunity for several candidates to pick up delegates and to show they can win in one of the country’s largest populated states.

Republicans award 69 delegates, with the winner of a statewide presidential preference poll guaranteed at least 15. Voters choose the remainder by electing delegates in each congressional district who are affiliated with a candidate.

Democrats award 182 delegates, with 102 of those awarded based on the proportion of the vote a candidate receives Tuesday in each congressional district, provided they get a minimum of 15 percent. Many of the remaining delegates are pledged to a candidate independently of Tuesday’s results, and those delegates – which include party leaders and elected officials – heavily favor Clinton.

But aides to Clinton’s campaign said the race has gotten closer in recent days in Illinois, Ohio and Missouri.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton greets people at an immigration roundtable Monday at The Resurrection Project at La Casa in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. At far right is Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. cago’s Pilsen neighborhood, home to many Mexican-American immigrants, Clinton urged a group of Latino activists to head to the polls. Latino voters are a key demographic for Clinton in the primary and a potential general election, where her campaign hopes Trump’s anti-immigrant comments could drive turnout among her supporters.

“We especially need you now,” Clinton said before heading to an event at a Chicago union hall. “We have to have a big vote tomorrow that can send a strong message that love trumps hate.”

Sanders, who ended his day Monday with a late evening rally at Roosevelt University in Chicago, has been trying to peel off Clinton’s support among African-American voters. He appeared Saturday with civil rights activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Sanders also has used speeches and TV ads to link Clinton to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has seen his support among black voters slip since closing schools in primarily minority neighborhoods and since the city released video of a white police officer shooting a black teen 16 times.

Emanuel has endorsed Clinton.

“Based on his disastrous record as mayor of the city of Chicago, I do not want Mayor Emanuel’s endorsement if I win the nomination,” Sanders said Saturday.

Cruz, who’s running second in the delegate count behind Trump, announced Sunday that he would be making stops Monday in Rockford, Glen Ellyn, Peoria, Decatur and Springfield.

He argues he’s best positioned to stop Trump from getting the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination.

At his Rockford event, Cruz told journalists that Trump can’t be trusted because he donated to Democrats, such as former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich – who’s now in prison for corruption – and Emanuel.

Cruz said that if voters are interested in “abuse of power from Chicago Democrats, then Donald Trump is a great candidate.”

Trump held a rally Sunday in Bloomington, and Kasich campaigned in the Chicago suburbs last week.

Illinois voters on Tuesday also will choose nominees to face off for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and a series of congressional and legislative primaries, among others.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Turkey launches airstrikes His driver’s license, posted on social media, had Alexandria, Virafter Ankara bombing

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey lashed out Monday at Kurdish targets, bombing military positions in northern Iraq and rounding up dozens of militants at home after a suicide car bombing in the heart of the capital drew the country even deeper into the complex Syrian conflict.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there were “strong indications” that Sunday’s attack was carried out by the rebels of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Davutoglu added that authorities had detained 11 people directly connected to the suicide bombing near a line of bus stops that killed 37 people.

DNA tests were underway to identify the bomber and another body believed to be that of a person who assisted, he said, while a senior government official has said the bomber was a woman.

ginia, as his home address, and although U.S. authorities have yet to confirm whether he is an American citizen, the incident marked a rare voluntary surrender in Iraq of a militant fighting with the extremist group.

The IS fighter had been “lurking near the peshmerga lines” since late Sunday night, according to Maj. Gen. Feisal Helkani of the Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces who play a key role – along with the Iraqi military and Shiite militia forces – in battling the IS extremists.

Helkani said his troops first tried to shoot the man, assuming he was a would-be suicide bomber.

Trump, Sanders deflate super PACs in 2016 race

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

MIAMI – Four years ago in Florida, a super PAC pummeled Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich with $10 million in attack ads, clearing him out of the race to the benefit of eventual nominee Mitt Romney.

Once again, attack ads are raining down in the Sunshine State, this time about $18 million worth against Donald Trump, as outside groups try to edge the front-runner off the path to the nomination.

But like so many other aspects of 2016, super PACs aren’t working out as planned.

Outside groups so far have spent about $300 million on the presidential race, an Associated Press analysis found. For all of that money, Trump, who has dismissed super PACs as a “crooked business,” is leading the Republican field.

And on the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders deflects the big-money spending of front-runner Hillary Clinton’s allies by using their mere presence as a fundraising opportunity. That could help explain why Priorities USA, a super PAC backing Clinton, has spent just $6 million of its $50 million.

“People are kind of on to them,” Ben Carson, who recently dropped out of the Republican presidential race and now backs Trump, said of outside groups. “There’s so much at stake that

people don’t have a lot of time to pay attention to silly ads, and that’s essentially what these super PACs do. They haven’t found anything useful to do.”

For the early voting states, well-funded advertising campaigns to take down Trump didn’t exist. That changed with Florida: The airwaves here are awash in Trump-bashing ads.

One of the hardest-hitting spots calls the billionaire businessman “offensive, out of control,” as it plays bleeped-out clips of him using harsh language. Another tells Republican voters that Trump is “very liberal” and is “playing us for chumps.”

Still more ads ridicule Trump’s for-profit university, his real estate company’s use of foreign workers and his delay in condemning the endorsement of a former Ku Klux Klan leader.

Like so many arguments against Trump’s candidacy, the messages don’t seem to resonate.

Recent polls show Trump well ahead of home-state senator Marco Rubio in Florida, one of five states holding presidential primaries on Tuesday. Indeed, the group spending the most to take out Trump in Florida is Rubio’s super PAC, Conservative Solutions.

Across the country, Rubio has benefited from $64 million in spending by Conservative Solutions and a companion nonprofit that doesn’t disclose its donors. He’s won just three of 27 primary contests.

Disorder at rally reminiscent of turmoil in 1960s

By JERRY SCHWARTZ The Associated Press

Even before the presidential candidate arrived at the rally, the arena seethed. Fistfights broke out as the national anthem played. Supporters tore up demonstrators’ signs, beat them with sticks, pummeled them with folding chairs.

The year was 1968; the candidate was Alabama Gov. George Wallace.

If you’re struggling with feelings of deja vu, you’re not alone.

The recent dark turn of the 2016 presidential campaign – the ugly scuffles and confrontations at Donald Trump’s rallies – has brought back memories of the turmoil of the Donald 1960s, and fueled fears Trump that America is careening into a similarly angry and violent era. Will it happen? There’s no way of knowing. Some note this is a different time: When Wallace climbed the stage of Detroit’s Cobo arena, Oct. 29, 1968, college campuses were exploding, American cities were in rubble, and Wallace’s incendiary words were just some of many, many angry words of that era.

As contentious as our times may seem, they’re not that bad – yet. But protesters, drawn by Trump’s positions against immigrants and Muslims, have been ejected from his rallies; one North Carolina man was charged with assault after he was caught on video hitting a man being led out by deputies at the event in Fayetteville. Trump said he does not encourage violence; the fault, he said, lies with the demonstrators.

In fact, if you take the long view, what’s happening is not all that unusual. Politics and violence have been mated since the republic’s earliest days. It was black power activist H. Rap Brown – now serving a life sentence in the 2000 murder of a sheriff’s deputy – who said “violence is as American as cherry pie.”

Other, more reputable observers agree.

The colonies’ victory over the British, believes Glenn W. LaFantasie, professor of Civil War history at Western Kentucky University, taught Americans “that violence can be justified so long as it can be done for a good cause.” And in the decades that followed, they often used violence in support of – or opposi-

tion to – various causes: • When Irish and German Catholics arrived in the 1840s, the Know Nothing party arose to oppose them, rioting in Louisville (more than 20 killed, many more injured) and turning a series of elections in Baltimore into a series of bloodbaths.

• In the run-up to the Civil War, Kansas had its own war between pro-slave and abolitionist forces. In that same year, 1856, abolitionist Sen. Charles Sumner gave a speech in which he demanded Kansas’ admission as a free state, and ridiculed Sen. Andrew Butler for his efforts against it; two days later, Butler’s cousin Rep. Preston Brooks accosted Sumner in the Senate chamber and nearly caned him to death.

• For four days in July of 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, there was fighting in New York City – working-class men, angry because the rich could buy their way out of fighting for the Union, rioted. They turned their wrath on their black neighbors, and thousands of them fled.

There followed lynchings and other attacks on blacks and race riots in the North and South that left untold numbers of blacks dead. A series of anarchist bombings spread fear after World War I. Mobs preyed on purported communists – most prominently, at two concerts by singer Paul Robeson at Peekskill, N.Y., in 1949.

“This is a dark streak that runs through American history,” said sociologist Todd Gitlin, who was president of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1963-64 and an organizer of the demonstration that brought thousands of protesters to Washington in 1965.

By experience and by scholarship, he is an expert on that decade, and the many ways in which violence became its hallmark, from the “police riot” that was the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to the attacks on the Freedom Riders who bused to the South to fight for civil rights.

“The mobs were there to fight against the invading Yankees, the legions of communism and John F. Kennedy; their way of life was at stake,” Gitlin said.

Wallace gave voice to those same people. “When he’s on ‘Meet the Press,’ they can look to George and think, ‘That’s what I would say if I were up there,’ ” his wife, Lurleen, once said.

James and Sheila Colson, the parents of police officer Jacai Colson, attend a news conference Monday at Prince George’s County Police headquarters in Hyattsville, Md. Colson, a four-year veteran of the force, was shot Sunday outside the District III police station.

In the confusion, despite their restraint, one of the other officers’ bullets hit Colson, the chief said. Four other officers fired their weapons, and it is not yet known who fired the fatal bullet, said the chief, who praised their restraint as well as the “extreme heroism” of Colson, who “drew fire to himself and in doing so was mortally wounded.”

Colson was declared dead later in a hospital. Michael Ford, 22, was expected to survive, along with his brothers Malik, 21, and Elijah, 18. All three were arrested and will face dozens of charges between them, the chief said.

Stawinski said federal agents have determined that there was no larger plot behind the ambush.

CHEVERLY, Md. – An undercover narcotics officer was mortally wounded by one of his colleagues as he responded to an attack on his police station by a gunman with a death wish, their police chief angrily explained on Monday.

And while Officer Jacai Colson lay dying, the gunman’s two brothers coldly recorded Sunday’s firefight on their cellphones, Prince George’s County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said, tapping a podium and trying to contain his emotions.

The gunman, Michael Ford, dictated a “last will and testament” just minutes before his two brothers drove him to the station, where he began spraying bullets at passing cars and even an ambulance to draw officers outside, police said.

Colson arrived at the station after the firing began. He was wearing civilian clothes without body armor and leaping out of an unmarked car.

“Police officers run to disorder. They run to the sound of shots,” the chief said.

“It’s my sad duty to have to share with you that, circumstantially, we believe the fired round that led to Detective Colson’s death was fired by one of his fellow Prince George’s County officers reacting to this.”

“This appears to be the act of the Ford brothers, for their own motives.

We have reason to suspect that the Ford brothers did not expect (Michael Ford) to survive his encounter with police,” the chief said.

The police union leader, John Teletchea, was livid that the suspects would coldly watch and record what he said their own cellphone evidence shows was an unprovoked and premeditated attack.

Colson, he said, “reacted to protect his fellow police officers and his community. And while doing so we had individuals videotaping, as if it’s a game, as if it’s something we’re going to put on YouTube and glorify.”

The chief said there were no outstanding warrants against the gunman, but that information conflicts with a sheriff’s report from Greenville, South Carolina, which said Michael Ford was being sought for allegedly assaulting his wife there the day before.

The attack at 4:30 p.m. Sunday disrupted a quiet, rainy afternoon in Landover, a suburb northeast of downtown Washington, D.C. Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks called it “cowardice” and a “horrific act of evil,” promising an aggressive investigation and prosecution.

Why you should vote Note to readers: The Northwest Herald publishes this editorial every Election Day to remind readers of their duty to vote.

By now, you probably are a tad tired of us telling you how important it is to vote in today’s election.

We don’t apoloFor the record gize for the repetition of the message.

It is important for Americans It is important for to learn about the candidates Americans to learn about the candidates and cast a ballot. and cast a ballot.

As a bit of a reprieve, however, we thought we’d step aside and let others tell you why you should get to know the candidates and vote: “Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote,” drama critic and editor George Jean Nathan said.

“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else’s expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves,” economist Thomas Sowell said.

“The ballot is stronger than the bullet,” President Abraham Lincoln said.

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all,” President John F. Kennedy said.

“Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: ’Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm,” essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson said.

“The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men,” President Lyndon B. Johnson said.

“To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain,” author Louis L’Amour said.

“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt said.

Said President Emeritus of the University of Notre Dame Theodore Hesburgh: “Voting is a civic sacrament.”

Sales aren’t good deals for consumers A Car Talk listener once posed the following profound question: “Is there ever a day when mattresses aren’t on sale?” Probably not. The word “sale” provokes a Pavlovian response in many people. They salivate at the dream of getting a great deal and buying something for a lot less than the average sucker. But are there really all that many true sales out there? Not if the starting point is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, list price or “original price.” More and more courts are considering whether the use of such terms should be considered deceptive advertising. Often, the answer is yes.

Last Sunday, New York Times reporter David Streitfeld pointed out no matter what the suggested retail price is, it would be nearly impossible to find any retailer who is actually charging that price. He cites example after example, such as a Le Creuset skillet variously advertised with

a list price of $260 or $285 that all online retailers were selling for $200. Everyone expects a deal when they buy online. Starting from a high number, even if it’s fictitious, leads people to think they are getting one.

Fake starting prices are being challenged by consumers, and in some cases already have led to million-dollar settlements. In a case under appeal, a California court hit online retailer Overstock.com with $6.8 million in penalties for misleading customers. Kohl’s, JCPenney and Amazon are among the companies that have faced or are facing court action over their use of list or suggested retail prices. Many more are likely to join the list.

It’s common to find that every seller, particularly online, is offering the same exact product at the same price. If they agreed to do that on their own, it would be considered price fixing and consequently illegal. But a few

years ago, conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow manufacturers to dictate the lowest possible price a retailer could sell its product for. The makers legally could refuse to do business with merchants who didn’t agree, the court ruled. That ruling should be among the many that deserve reconsideration by a less activist, less partisan court.

The best way to get the best deal, with or without negotiation, experts say, is the same as it has always been. Consumers should do their homework, compare prices online and off by using exact make and model number, and consider shipping, taxes and other charges, return policies and offers that seem too good to be true. To that, we would add the value of buying locally, which keeps your money at work in your community, provides jobs, and helps your neighbors and the local economy.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

FBI’s email report time-critical

To the Editor: The political stakes regarding Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to handle classified emails couldn’t be higher. The American people now have a time-critical need to know what legal jeopardy Mrs. Clinton is facing between now and the November election.

The FBI must wrap up its email investigation and issue a report to the Justice Department immediately.

The bureau has the necessary facts to report whether or not Mrs. Clinton broke national security laws and must let us know if we will be voting for a candidate who is facing serious criminal charges.

Since 2008, nearly every federal department (the IRS, EPA, HHS, DOE, DOD, etc.) has had its reputation damaged and lost credibility with our citizens. If FBI Director James Comey issues the bureau’s report now, he will perform a monumentally important

VIEWS Rich Miller none of it was true.

They also smeared Hotle in the media for being a “plant” of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s. Why? The only real explanation is she was the lone female in a four-way primary, so she could do well on demographics alone and they had to take her out.

For good.

The Madigan operation reached way back into Rep. Ken Dunkin’s (D-Chicago) past to find an arrest, some formal allegations of domestic abuse and troubles paying his child support and then used that against him in his Democratic primary campaign. Dunkin started the fight by so closely allying himself with our Republican governor and thumbing his nose at his fellow Democrats, but he seems to have rehabilitated himself. Madigan and the people around him didn’t care. It’s a matter of public record, and Dunkin got whacked with it.

But as we’ve also discovered this year, Rauner’s legislative campaign operation is eerily similar to Madigan’s. And while that’s making some Republicans privately uncomfortable, Madigan’s way has proven

service for the country and preserve the integrity of his agency.

Further, issuing this report now does not preclude the FBI from continuing its separate investigation into whether the former secretary of state used her position to provide special advantage for Clinton Foundation donors and other entities (foreign and domestic).

Richard Stack

to work far more often than not over the years.

A good case in point is conservative activist Dan Proft’s TV ads in the 102nd House District GOP primary against Jim Acklin.

Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC ran a blistering TV ad that claimed Acklin, as a school superintendent, “blamed the victim” and “did nothing” about a sexual predator in his school system who also happened to be a “family friend.” The ad was based on a failed civil lawsuit – a very thin reed, indeed – but it was brutal.

Rauner and his pals have pumped seven-figure contributions into Proft’s PAC over the past few months. They’ve clearly been involved in several races through Proft.

Rauner and his people do not want Acklin nominated because he is backed by former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, a frequent Rauner critic.

So, they’re supporting former state Rep. Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), despite the fact they don’t really love the guy. Keeping Edgar’s fingers out of the House has been their priority.

So, they launched a second killer TV ad to build on their theme. The new spot used Acklin’s own videotaped comments at a candidates’ forum where he claimed to have acted “quickly and decisively” to remove

the predator teacher from his school.

But the second Proft ad claimed: “In his own words, it took him four years to act. ... Four years,” while displaying a news clip on the screen about how Acklin said “he was aware of an incident involving [the predator] in 2008.” That “incident” was an allegation the teacher was texting a student, but the student denied at the time that anything inappropriate was going on. The teacher was warned, and that was the end of it until the predator’s arrest four years later. “Acklin touts his judgment. On March 15, make your own,” the ad concludes.

Acklin raised a decent amount of funds compared with similar races in prior years, but times have changed. Both sides in Dunkin’s race (including Rauner’s allies) dumped well over $5 million into the contest. A Senate Republican primary race in the Springfield area where the governor opposed the incumbent saw spending top $3.5 million.

Acklin wasn’t able to air a response ad until a full week after the initial Proft ad aired, and after he’d already been buried with Rauner’s money.

Thanks for exposing IMRF abuses

To the Editor: I want to give a big thanks to the Northwest Herald, the Daily Herald, state Rep. Jack Franks and the IMRF for the work they’ve done exposing the abuse of the taxpayers by the McHenry County Board. They have been driving up our taxes for years, and now we find out it was to line their pockets with public money. The 18 members of the County Board who took the pension benefits should re-

sign if they have any sense of decency.

Local government is supposed to be the ultimate protector of the people because its members literally are our neighbors. They are not some faceless bureaucrats in Washington or Springfield, but the people we see every day at the grocery store or out to eat. But it seems as though the people on the McHenry County Board do not feel the same way. They have created a nice little fiefdom for themselves and don’t really care about protecting their neighbor’s hard-earned money.

Shame on them for betraying the public trust like they have. It’s because of people like them we need an investigative press, elected officials who actually look out for the pubic good and competent financial professionals to make sure public money is not being for the benefit of a powerful few but for the greater good. We owe a great deal of thanks to those who brought this story to light.

Illinois Republicans long have complained that House Speaker Michael Madigan’s campaign organization doesn’t just beat you, it destroys you. Madigan doesn’t always set out to merely win, he wants to make sure he doesn’t ever have to deal with you again.

Madigan’s own Democratic primary race has been a good example.

He posted yard signs all over his district urging his constituents to vote against “convicted felon Jason Gonzales,” and his cable TV and direct mail ceaselessly pounded home that very same message. His captains also reportedly had volunteers holding those signs at the entrance to voting locations.

Gonzales is, indeed, a convicted felon. But that happened two decades ago, and he was pardoned by former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. To hear the Madigan campaign tell it, however, you’d think the guy just walked out of prison.

Or, take a look at what Madigan did to Katelyn Hotle. The house speaker’s operation dropped at least nine negative mailers on the little-known, lightly funded candidate in the Democratic primary to replace retiring state Rep. Pat Verschoore (D-Milan). The gist of the attacks was that Hotle, a local alderman, profited personally from her shoddy government service, but

LAKE IN THE HILLS

Butcher expansion in the works

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Known for its meat and deli selection, Butcher on the Block soon could add a sit-down dining area, wine and craft beer service along with video gaming machines for its growing customer base.

For customers located close to the Lake in the Hills butcher, the business also soon could start delivering sandwiches directly to their doorsteps. The changes are part of a proposed expansion that nearly would double the size of Butcher on the Block, 4660 W. Algonquin Road, giving owners Thomas and Jill Yucuis 4,300 square feet to work with.

“What built our business was the meat and deli. We will increase our seafood selection, adding produce and groceries into the mix. The bakery will be toward artisan breads,” Thomas Yucuis said. “It will be more of a sit-down eatery. Customers can’t wait for it, asking and asking, ‘When are you busting off that wall?’ ” The proposed dining area would take up a vacant storefront directly next door to Butcher on the Block.

Aside from seeing increased sales from customers throughout the McHenry County area, the business sees opportunity for new customers with Centegra Health Sys-

“The business is favorably received by the region. [Owner Thomas Yucuis has] got a great business there.”

Gerald Sagona

Lake in the Hills village administrator tem’s new Huntley hospital and medical office building about to open less than 2 miles west along Algonquin Road, Yucuis said.

The expansion, however, still needs to clear some governmental hurdles before the owners can tear down the wall next to their business.

Last week, Lake in the Hills trustees discussed a scaled-back economic incentive that would rebate 50 percent of new sales tax generated from the expanded business back to Butcher on the Block to cover some build-out expenses. The proposed rebate would end after five years or after $50,000 was turned back to the business – whichever happens first, Village Administrator Gerald Sagona said.

Earlier in the winter, Yucuis approached village officials about a sales tax rebate that wouldn’t exceed 10 years or $400,000, along with waivers on building permit and liquor

license fees for the expansion. But trustees thought the request was too much, downsizing the rebate and forgoing the waiver request.

Both parties since have agreed to the revised terms, and Yucuis said he feels grateful for the help. Trustees are scheduled to take a final vote on the proposal during their regular meeting March 24.

“It eliminates a vacancy in the strip center and generates more sales tax,” Sagona said. “The business is favorably received by the region. He’s got a great business there.”

Yucuis said the business could start construction by May if trustees approve the incentive, and it would remain open during the process. Once ready, the expansion would give customers access to a wider selection, including bakery goods, produce, seafood, a salad and soup bar.

Butcher on the Block also will look at expanding hours, offering breakfast sandwiches along with meaty sandwiches such as barbecue brisket and pulled pork for the afternoon and evening crowds, Yucuis said.

The family-owned butcher, which employs about eight people full time, would look to double its full-time staff and add more parttime hires.

“We won’t let our customer base down,” he said. “We will give them what they are begging and asking for.”

When you give away property, you have to take advantage of what the tax code allows. To receive a tax deduction when donating money or assets, there are a few important points to keep in mind.

First, for it to be deductible, the donation must be made in cash or property. The donation also must be given to a qualified charity as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. And the property or cash contribution must be made before the close of your tax year for it to be deductible.

As much as possible, you should try to avoid giving away property or assets that have gone down in value because you won’t be able to take advantage of the capital loss.

A better approach would be to first sell the asset to generate a realized loss

FINANCE Mike Piershale and then give the cash to the charity.

This way you’ll have a deduction for the loss, as well as a deduction for the charitable contribution.

Plus, the charity still gets the same amount. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it, too?

But if you are dealing with appreciated property, you don’t want to sell it first because you’ll be taxed on the realized gain. You, instead, can give the appreciated property away to a charitable organization.

Because it is a charity, it won’t owe

tax when it sells the asset, and you will save taxes by not triggering a taxable capital gain. You also will end up with a larger deduction since you are giving the entire appreciated value of the asset away.

While these are the general rules on charitable giving, you should keep in mind that larger gifts have income percentage limitations that cannot be exceeded for deductions, as well as special rules for long-term capital gain property.

Ex-worker: VW destroyed documents

By TOM KRISHER

The Associated Press DETROIT – Volkswagen deleted documents and obstructed justice after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accused the company of cheating on emissions tests, a former employee alleged in a lawsuit.

Daniel Donovan said in a whistleblower case that he was wrongfully fired Dec. 6, 2015, after refusing to participate in the deletions and reporting them to a supervisor. The lawsuit says that the evidence deletion continued for three days after the Sept. 18 allegations from the EPA and despite a hold order from the Justice Department.

VW has admitted that it programmed about 600,000 diesel-powered cars in the U.S. to turn on pollution controls during EPA treadmill tests and turn them off when the cars were on the road. The agency alleges that the cars emit as much as 40 times the allowable amount of nitrogen oxide, which can cause respiratory problems.

The Justice Department is investigating potential criminal charges against VW, and the company has been negotiating with the EPA and California regulators to come up with repairs. VW faces a March 24 deadline from a federal judge to reach agreement on the fixes.

Donovan worked as a technology employee with VW’s general counsel office who was responsible for electronic information management in injury and product liability cases. The lawsuit said he was fired “because of his refusal to participate in a course of action that would spoilate evidence and obstruct justice” in the EPA and Justice Department probes.

The Volkswagen logo is seen on a car during the Car Show on Sept. 22 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Volkswagen deleted documents and obstructed justice after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accused the company of cheating on emissions tests, a former employee alleges in a lawsuit.

But VW said Monday that Donovan’s departure from the company was not related to the diesel emissions issue. “We believe his claim of wrongful termination is without merit,” the company said Monday in a statement.

Donovan, who worked in VW’s Michigan offices, alleges that the company’s information technology department did not stop deleting items until Sept. 21, so Donovan reported his concerns to his supervisor, according to the March 8 lawsuit filed with the Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac, Michigan. It also says the department was not preserving

backup disks.

Donovan was fired because VW of America believed he was about to report the deletions and obstruction of justice to the EPA, Justice Department or the FBI, according to the complaint. It was unclear whether Donovan, of suburban Detroit, spoke with federal investigators. His attorney, Sam Morgan, would not comment and said his client didn’t want to speak about it either. A message was left for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit.

The lawsuit alleges that the company violated the Michigan Whistleblowers’ protection act.

‘Zootopia’ stays atop box office figures with $51.3M NEW YORK – Disney’s “Zootopia” extended its rule with $51.3 million in its second week of release, according to final box office figures Monday.

The animated hit held up especially well, declining only about a third from its first weekend. It easily outpaced new releases that were led by the J.J. Abrams-produced sci-fi thriller “10 Cloverfield Lane.” The Paramount Pictures release opened with $24.7 million, roughly doubling its low production budget.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s comedy “The Brothers Grimsby,” however, flopped. Its $3.3 million debut marks easily the worst opening of Cohen’s career.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama admitted he was a little surprised when he first heard founding father Alexander Hamilton described as embodying hip-hop.

But he said “Hamilton” has become a favorite in the Obama household.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcomed members of the show’s cast to perform at the White House on Monday.

The story of Hamilton is told by a young African-American and Latino cast and has a varied score that ranges from pop ballads to sexy R&B to rap battles.

Obama said the story is about an immigrant who escapes poverty and rises to the top through hard work and determination.

He said the show brings unlikely folks together and is jokingly encouraging the creators to create a show about Congress.

Ex-Gawker editor called in Hulk Hogan sex video trial

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A former editor at Gawker was called to the stand during the start of the second week of the Hulk Hogan sex video trial.

Lawyers for Gawker Media began presenting their client’s case Monday. The first witness called was A.J. Daulerio, the reporter who posted the sex video.

Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, is suing Gawker Media for $100 million for posting the edited video showing him

having sex with his then-best friend’s wife.

The former wrestler has said he didn’t know he was being filmed when the video was made.

The civil case is being held in a St. Petersburg courtroom.

Breitbart reporter involved in Trump incident resigns

NEW YORK – The Breitbart News reporter allegedly roughed up last week at a Donald Trump press conference has resigned from the conservative website, saying that she can’t work for an organization that doesn’t support her, and three other news employees followed her out the door.

Michelle Fields, who said that she was grabbed by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski as she attempted to question the candidate last Tuesday in Florida, was joined in her resignation by Breitbart editors Ben Shapiro and Jarrett Stepman, along with national security correspondent Jordan Schachtel.

Police in Jupiter, Florida, said Monday their investigation of the incident is ongoing. No charges have been filed.

Lewandowski has denied the allegation.

Trump told CNN that the incident, also witnessed by a reporter from The Washington Post, was probably “made up.”

After initially publishing Fields’ account, Breitbart posted a story doubting its own reporter, saying the “likeliest explanation” is that Fields was grabbed by a security officer, not Lewandowski.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump talks with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a rally Monday at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C. in the fall.

Trump, the Republican front-runner, has roiled the 2016 presidential race with his comments about Islam, Mexicans, the media and protesters at his rallies. Violence erupted last week when one of his supporters punched a protester being led from an event, and

his Friday rally in Chicago was canceled for fear of further violence.

Burns said some of Trump’s comments and actions – like forgetting that he had repudiated a Ku Klux Klan leader – “that is the wink wink dog whistle that signals to our unreconstructed brothers.”

FIND YOUR ADVENTURE

• Tuesday, March 15, 2016

WASHINGTON – Fear of a changing America is fueling some of the anger playing out publicly around Donald Trump’s bid for the GOP presidential nomination, historians Ken Burns and Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Monday.

“We are in a retrograde moment right now in which the dog whistles of race are with us,” said Burns, an Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker.

Trump is “speaking to a need and a deep set of fears within a large segment of the American community,” added Gates, a Harvard University scholar and host of a genealogy show on PBS. Those fears need to be assuaged, and policies formulated to meet the needs of those worried about their future, he said.

The comments came during a National Press Club luncheon during which the two men discussed the state of race relations in the United States and their upcoming TV projects.

“Jackie Robinson,” directed by Burns, along with Sarah Burns and David McMahon, will air on PBS in April, while Gates will host “Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise” on PBS

“We’d like to believe in our better selves but in point of fact, a lot of us aren’t that,” Burns said.

Gates, who supports Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, said he would advise her to “study” why some voters are so angry, and “why they are so prone to anti-black, anti-Islamic feelings, and why they want the wall up” at the U.S. border with Mexico.

Gates also said President Barack Obama underestimated the depth of animosity toward him.

“I think he believed the narrative that a day of racial harmony had come,” he said. “I don’t think they anticipated the depth of American racism and how much had not changed because a black man had been elected president.”

Gates said even he was shocked at the amount of vitriol he received after an encounter with a police officer.

Gates was arrested by a white officer who was investigating a burglary at Gates’ home in Massachusetts. The two men met at the White House for a beer with Obama, and are now friends, Gates said. But the flood of hate telephone calls, e-mails and letters stunned him.

“I was surprised by how organized hate can be,” he said.

Issues, not apps

South by Southwest Interactive Festival focuses on big ideas over launching new tech

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas – Big-picture issues and futuristic ideas – rather than the usual hot app or startup launch – have taken the spotlight at this year’s South

by Southwest Interactive tech jamboree.

President Barack Obama’s opening keynote on Friday referenced the current fight between Apple and the FBI and set an issue-driven tone for the conference. And a daylong online harassment summit put the spotlight on the troubling topic of online harassment. Meanwhile, panels focused on futuristic ideas such as robots for the elderly and supersonic public transportation.

So far, though, there’s no sign of breakout apps like Twitter in 2007 or Foursquare in 2009.

“This year’s festival has been more about connectivity, immersive experiences and external, larger issues rather than past years, which were more about new launches,” said SXSW veteran Tom Edwards, chief digital officer for Dallas-based marketing firm Epsilon.

More than 30,000 attendees flooded the streets of downtown Austin over the weekend, soaking up live music and marketing stunts including a lifesize Ferris wheel provided by the USA show “Mr. Robot.”

Here’s a look at the buzziest trends so far at the festival’s tech-focused conference, which ends Tuesday.

Big issues

It’s an election year, and hotly debated issues dominated discussions.

Obama, the first U.S. president to headline a SXSW event, said he was strongly committed to encryption but said authorities must be able to access data held on electronic devices to fight crime and extremist violence.

Panels on online harassment discussed trolling and abuse in online comments and social media, mainly of women. One panel gave statistics and examples of the harassment women of color and female journalists face to illustrate the scope of the problem on social media.

Another panel, initially canceled due to threats of violence against panelists and the festival, discussed how game-related design, such as algorithms or pre-set filters, could be used to discourage harassment. Due

The festival had its own mini-discrimination controversy. Organizers apologized to a panelist after she tweeted that she was told she had to remove her headscarf for a festival ID badge. She was eventually allowed to take a photo with her headscarf – then received a badge with the right picture but the wrong name and affiliation, as her tweets documented and the festival confirmed.

Futuristic ideas

Rodney Brooks, creator of Roomba and CEO of Rethink Robots, argued that robots aren’t as dangerous as people think they are. At one point, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin – then noted that no robot currently is capable of doing the same.

Still, the robotics pioneer thinks robots will be essential for elder care, helping with daily tasks, acting as com-

panions and driving people around. In similar respects such as manufacturing, he argued, robots won’t displace jobs, they’ll do the work no one wants to do.

Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyperloop, a company aiming to create a transportation system using capsules traveling through tubes at the speed of sound, took the stage to enthusiastic whoops from the crowd. He said the Hyperloop, which he claims will condense a five-hour trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco to 36 minutes for less than the cost of a plane ticket, is well on the way to becoming reality.

While he acknowledged critics who say the project could cost $100 billion to build – far more than Hyperloop’s own estimates – he said his company is trying to disrupt the transportation industry.

Tech and music

As always, tech and music intermingled during the festival. When the indie-rock band Great Caesar played at

a popular local bar, it was no ordinary SXSW show. Its sponsor, Doppler, was testing ear buds designed to augment live music. Via an app, ear bud wearers could adjust the bass they could hear, for example, or create an echo effect.

They also could choose pre-mixed filters that mimic the sound effects of different places, such as a small studio or Carnegie Hall.

“I like having some kind of control over what I’m listening to,” said Marshall Heinz, a law student in Austin who tried out the device.

Sony’s ‘N’ concept

Sony had one of the buzziest product demos of the festival, previewing a prototype device called the “N’’ concept neckband. It’s a speaker that rests on the neck, plays music, takes pictures and responds to voice commands such as queries about the weather. Response to the device, unveiled Saturday, has been enthusiastic, research and development deputy president Jun Maruo said.

Sony expands streaming TV service nationwide to go after cable cord cutters

By ANICK JESDANUN NEW YORK – Sony’s streaming TV service expanded nationwide Monday, giving TV lovers throughout the U.S. a new, potentially cheaper way to get cable channels such as AMC and ESPN. PlayStation Vue, which had been limited to major cities during its first year, will start at $30 a month in the new regions. That’s $10 cheaper than current packages, but it won’t include over-the-air channels, such as stations for ABC and Fox. Vue’s seven older markets – big cities including New York City and San Francisco – won’t have access to the new, cheaper deal.

More people are bypassing traditional TV services in light of extensive online offerings from the likes of Netflix and HBO Now. To reach them, cable and satellite TV companies are launching Internet-based TV services.

Dish debuted its $20-a-month Sling TV service last year. Comcast and other cable companies also have experimented with online TV packages, although none are offered beyond a few markets. AT&T’s DirecTV service plans a nationwide streaming offering, but details on prices and channels haven’t been released. Published reports also have said Apple is trying to develop its own streaming-TV service.

Vue’s cheaper offering, made available in more markets than before, could make Vue a more significant challenger to traditional TV services from cable and satellite.

“But nobody really knows how big the opportunity will be,” said Craig Moffett, a MoffettNathanson analyst who follows the cable industry.

Moffett said viewers typically like the idea of slimmer, cheaper TV packages when they don’t have time to watch 500-plus channels, but “everyone’s ideal skinny bundle is a little different.” As a result, he said,

these slimmer packages still end up too expensive for many people, or are missing someone’s favorite channel or two.

A PlayStation or an Amazon Fire TV device is needed to sign up for Vue. Vue’s exclusion of over-the-air channels in the new regions reflects how television networks distribute their programs in the U.S. Networks own stations only in major cities, and their programs are carried elsewhere in the country by affiliate stations owned by other companies. Because of that, Sony doesn’t automatically have rights to include those stations and has limited the Vue service to major markets with network-owned channels. Traditional cable companies have had time to negotiate deals with affiliates elsewhere.

Sony now will try to bypass that limitation by offering just the cable channels live – more than 50 in the starting package. Programs from ABC, Fox, NBC and Telemundo will be available the next day, similar to the way Hulu works. CBS shows are coming to some markets only at an unspecified date. The CW isn’t offered in any of Vue’s packages. Vue customers still would be able to get local stations with an antenna.

Sling TV also lacks over-the-air channels in its starting package of 23 channels. But it doesn’t include nextday access to network shows, either.

TV packages for Vue’s existing markets won’t change. They start at $40 and include the local stations. The broadcast-free, $30 option will be limited to markets outside the initial seven – Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Sony hasn’t revealed how many subscribers it has, but Moffett believes it still is tiny, given the service’s limited reach until now.

Moffett has estimated Sling TV has about half a million customers.

28 Consult doctor before quitting alcohol Dear Dr. K: My husband has a problem with alcohol. He finally has decided to quit, and has set a date for his final drink. How will his body react once he stops? Is there anything we can do to help ease his withdrawal symptoms?

Dear Reader: Alcohol withdrawal refers to the changes the body goes through when a person who has been drinking heavily for a long time suddenly stops.

Alcohol has a slowing effect on the brain. In a heavy, long-term drinker, the brain almost continually is exposed to this depressant effect of alcohol. In response, the brain adjusts its own chemistry to compensate. It does so by producing larger-than-normal amounts of stimulating chemicals.

If a person suddenly stops drinking alcohol, the brain still is bathed in the stimulating chemicals – but no longer has the alcohol to slow it down. It’s like a car with the gas pedal floored that has lost its brakes. Not surprisingly, most withdrawal symptoms occur when the brain is overstimulated.

The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal occur in a predictable pattern after the final drink. Not all people experience all symptoms: • Tremors (shakes). These usually begin within five to 10 hours after the last drink and typically peak at 24 to 48 hours. Along with tremors (trembling), they include a rapid pulse, an increase in blood pressure, rapid breathing, sweating, nausea and vomiting, anxiety or a hyper-alert state, irritability, nightmares or vivid dreams and insomnia.

• Alcohol hallucinosis. This symptom usually begins within 12 to 24 hours after the last drink, and may last as long as two days once it begins. If this happens, a person sees, hears or feels things that are not real.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Alcohol withdrawal seizures. Seizures may occur six to 48 hours after the last drink. It is common for several seizures to occur over several hours. The risk peaks at 24 hours.

• Delirium tremens. This is the most dangerous form of alcohol withdrawal. This condition occurs in about one out of every 20 people who have withdrawal symptoms.

Its peak intensity is usually four to five days after the last drink.

People suffering from delirium tremens are very agitated and have hallucinations. In my experience, they often see animals that aren’t there – domesticated and wild. They have very rapid pulse, rapid breathing, high blood pressure, very high fevers and profuse sweating.

They may get severely dehydrated, and their body minerals can get dangerously out of balance. If untreated, delirium tremens can be fatal.

It sounds as though your husband is planning to quit at home. Before he does, he should consult with his doctor. The doctor might think it is safer if he is in a medical setting. If not, the doctor can give him advice and prescribe medicines to make withdrawal symptoms more tolerable. If your husband experiences severe vomiting, seizures or delirium tremens during withdrawal, let his doctor know – but also get him to a hospital. He will need to be under medical care ASAP. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

the way they are and views any disruption as a threat to her lifestyle. The best way to enter into the dating world would be to do it without consulting her. If and when you meet someone and things become serious, introduce them then – in a casual way. If she acts up, remember you are the parent.

Your daughter doesn’t have to “love” someone because you do. She does, however, have to treat that person with the same respect with which you treat her friends – and you should insist on it. You are the parent, and it’s up to you to enforce the rules for as long as she lives with you.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I are getting ready to move to a new city in six months (each of us for our own careers) and plan to move in together. Some issues still need to be ironed out before we make that commitment, and my biggest concern is the anger and resentment she carries toward her semi-estranged father.

I understand where it comes from and why, but it worries me to see how quickly and completely it can overwhelm her personality.

I lack comparable experience, so I struggle to have constructive conversations with her about it. But I can’t accept this poisonous volatility as a feature of our life together. I believe speaking to someone would help her deal with these feelings in a healthier, more constructive way, but she rejects that idea.

I don’t want to bully her into counseling, but I feel as if I have to do something before we take this next step, for both our sakes.

Would it be wrong to tell her she has to start seeing someone before I commit to moving in together? – Hesitating In Florida Dear Hesitating: No, it would not be wrong.

If your girlfriend’s problems with her father bleed over into her relationship with you – and it appears they have – it would be a mistake for you to move in together because it won’t last.

I have reassured her I love her and always will. Also, I would never allow someone around her if I had any suspicion he might not be good for her. Nothing works. I have spoken with only one person I would even think of introducing her to, but I am afraid of her attitude.

Permanent Part Time position.

Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong business magnate, investor and philanthropist, said, “We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill ... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.”

Playing bridge well requires clear thinking and logical deduction; perhaps, because declarer made one play, he must have this, or cannot have that.

West misdefended this deal by not thinking clearly. It was sent to me

by Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York.

In the bidding from a pro-am, the “am” sitting North preferred that her expert partner be the declarer.

However, knowing about the eightor nine-card spade fit and having a singleton, she should have corrected three no-trump to four spades, which would have made with an overtrick.

Against three no-trump, West led the diamond king. Declarer won with dummy’s ace, crossed to his hand with a club, and led a spade. When West nervously inserted her jack, South played low from the dummy.

Now East should have overtaken with his king and returned the diamond nine, which would have held declarer to his contract. Minus 400 would have been a top for EastWest. When East actually played low, West led another club. South won, played a spade to dummy’s ace, and led another spade. West cashed her diamond queen to hold South to 10 tricks. But minus 430 was still a top.

West should have played low on the first spade, because if South had held the king, he would have cashed that honor first.

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – If Crystal Lake Central’s softball team has any hopes of a successful season, how the sophomores mesh with a senior-heavy lineup could have a say on whether Central will be in the thick of the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division race.

Monday was the first test for the Central youngsters, and after one game the Tigers passed.

After a slow start with the bats, the Tigers started to put some hits together and went on to a 10-3 nonconference victory over Richmond-Burton in the season opener for both teams at Central.

“It was really good to play in my first varsity game,” Tigers sophomore Sarah Pinn said. “I was able to get more comfortable after fouling some pitches off, and that is when I realized I can play at this level.”

Pinn reached base in all four of her at-bats and drove in four runs, including a two-run double in the fourth inning that increased the lead to 6-3 and put what had been a close game out of reach.

Senior Savanah Frank is the new starting pitcher for Central (1-0) this season and got better as the game went on. Frank allowed only two hits in the final four innings. The Rockets (0-1) had a great chance in the fifth inning, loading the bases with one out, but Frank struck out the next two R-B batters to keep the game at 6-3.

“I didn’t pitch much last year, so I wanted to come out fast and contribute,” Frank said. “I got more comfortable as the game went on and was pleased with my performance.”

Frank finished with 12 strikeouts in seven innings. She also had three hits and scored three times.

Monday was your typical season opener with a lot of positives and some negatives, as each team tries to get established and get its lineup set for the season. For Tigers coach Brian Strombom, Monday featured many positives for his new-look Tigers.

“We needed a few at-bats to feel comfortable but got better as the game progressed,” Strombom said. “We started to get a lot more aggressive as the game went on, and I was pleased with that.”

R-B was led by Hailey Hildebrandt and Sophie Schwegel, who each had two hits.

CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL GIRLS BASKETBALL

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Paul Lichtenheld has stepped down as Crystal Lake Central girls basketball coach, while leaving the door open to other coaching opportunities.

Lichtenheld had a 32-81 record in four seasons as Tigers coach. Central was 15-14 under Lichtenheld in 2014 but finished 2-26 and 2-25 in the past two seasons.

“I’m not hoping to be out of coaching totally, but for the time this is the best move,” Lichtenheld said. “It’s time for a change with the program. There’s a few things I’ll

weigh, I hope to be back in [coaching] in some capacity in whatever situation.”

Although Central won only two games, the Tigers will return nine varsity players and 37 in the three classes for next season.

“Potential’s always a nice thing,” LichtenPaul held said. “They certainLichtenheld ly have some talent and some numbers. There’s a chance to get things going in the right direction.”

Lichtenheld plans to stay at Central as a guidance counselor. Before coming to Central, he taught and coached at Jacobs for six years and Woodstock for one. At Jacobs, he worked as a varsity assistant, as a freshman head coach and a sophomore head coach.

Lichtenheld played at Woodstock, where he graduated from in 2001.

“It was really tough to give it up,” Lichtenheld said. “I talked to a lot of people before I made the decision. It was hard to think I won’t see those girls. The staff we had was outstanding, I was blown away by those coaches. That part will be hard.”

The teams and rosters are set for the 2016 McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza, which will be played April 17 at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium.

The girls game will tip off at 2 p.m., and the boys game is set for 5 p.m. There will be 3-point contests for both girls and boys, and a dunk contest for the boys. The 3-point girls and boys winners also will shoot off for an overall champion.

Huntley star Ali Andrews will play with team-

mates Paige Renkosik and Kayla Barreto on the Home team. The Red Raiders played in a Class 4A supersectional in three of the four seasons Andrews and Barreto started.

Johnsburg’s Brad Frey will coach the Home team.

Hampshire’s Mike Featherly will coach the Away team, which will have two of his top players, Emma Benoit and Nikki Dumoulin, along with Crystal Lake South’s Chanel Fanter and Woodstock

North’s Haley Ahr, their school’s leading scorers.

For the boys teams, Crystal Lake South’s Matt LePage will coach the Home and have his own player, Zach Geske, along with Marengo sharpshooter Zach Knobloch leading the way.

The Away team will be coached by McHenry’s Tim Paddock and features Marian Central guard Adam Pischke, the area’s scoring leader at 24.4 points a game.

– Northwest Herald

NORTHWEST HERALD At Roscoe, Marengo’s softball team opened the season Monday with a 9-4 nonconference win over Harlem.

Winning pitcher Mariah Dionne allowed four earned runs on six hits and four walks in seven innings. She struck out six. Dionne also went 3 for 5 with a triple and an RBI. Anna Walsweer and Allison Jasinski also had three hits for Marengo. Leah Secor was 2 for 5 with three RBIs, as the Indians banged out 17 hits.

Krueger plays through illness

Streaks’ captain, GK didn’t want to miss opener

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – Marissa Krueger threw up before Monday night’s season opener for the Woodstock girls soccer team.

And she threw up at halftime.

“I told her it was just nerves,” Woodstock coach Michael Golda joked of his senior captain and goalkeeper.

But it wasn’t.

Krueger was sick Monday, but nothing was going to stop her from playing her team’s opener, a match the Blue Streaks lost, 4-0, at Wauconda.

“I thought I could have played better, even with this sickness going on,” Krueger said. “But I hold myself to a high standard and my team does.”

Wauconda’s Kayla Wisniewski scored less than six minutes in and Rachel Denovo scored exactly 17 minutes in to give the Bulldogs (1-0) confidence.

Wauconda has been practicing on its artificial surface since the season began but Woodstock has had many opportunities to practice outside, instead working in the school’s gym heading into the season. final 20 minutes of the match.

“The first four or five minutes were good, but they got that goal and we seemed to hang our heads a tiny bit,” Golda said. “Then we picked ourselves up a little bit. But in the start of the second half the girls played a lot better.”

One of the keys for Woodstock (0-1) will be familiarity on a team with four seniors and seven freshmen.

“Once we get a lot more comfortable,” Krueger said, “there’s going to be a lot more wins pulled out. With time, you’re definitely going to see our team improve. It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of dedication.”

The Blue Streaks hope to be able to get in a practice on Tuesday, despite the expected thunderstorms, before hosting Crystal Lake South on Wednesday before traveling to face Rockford East at noon Saturday.

“It’s been one of the best attitudes I’ve seen so far, and I’ve been coaching here for five seasons,” Golda said. “I think they’re going to be resilient.”

Especially on an artificial turf field, Golda felt that Wauconda was able to take advantage of speed to get opportunities and stay on the attack. Woodstock, meanwhile, struggled at times to keep possession and turn it into scoring opportunities.

The Blue Streaks would get close and pressure in the box but were not able to put a solid strike on net all night.

“We are a possession team,” Golda said. “We don’t have blazing speed. We need to be able to get the ball wide, drop it back, switch the field and do all of those things to keep possession so that we can get far-post looks and we can be the ones crossing the ball in.”

Samantha Sisto, Brandie Minogue and Katherine Siavelis came close to unlocking the Conant defense on a couple of occasions, but Sengstock had two shots saved.

“Our speed of play picked up a lot in the second half,” Mueller said. “I think Courtney had a lot to do with that. She can motor, as you probably noticed.

And I think some of the other players started to feed off of that. It started to get faster, and we started to move the ball quicker, too, not just running faster but playing quicker passes, and I think that helped open some opportunities.”

Mueller said the growth just from one half to the next was encouraging despite the result.

“Oh, definitely,” Mueller said.

“We’ve got a ton of talented players on this team, and I think once we jell, once they start playing together and really meshing, I think we’re going to be pretty good.”

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Liner to head sends Cueto to hospital The ASSOCIATED PRESS MESA, Ariz. – San Francisco Giants pitcher Johnny Cueto has been taken to the hospital to get checked for a concussion after he was hit in the head by a line drive that did not knock him out of the game.

Cueto was hit in the forehead by a Johnny Cueto liner off the bat of Oakland outfielder Billy Burns on the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning Monday night. The ball caromed into center field for a double.

The right-hander was examined by team trainers, took a couple of warmups and finished his three-inning stint. Afterward, he went to the hospital for a precautionary examination.

Cueto gave up three runs, all on Josh Reddick’s homer, and five hits.

He walked one and struck out two.

BULLS 109, RAPTORS 107

Bulls overcome absences

Rose, Gasol miss unlikely road win against Raptors

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com TORONTO – For two years now, there’s been a lot of noise coming out of the Toronto area about a growing powerhouse on the Eastern Conference map.

The Bulls once again weren’t real impressed.

Even with Pau Gasol (right knee) back in Chicago, Derrick Rose (groin) on the bench, and Mike Dunleavy (flu) back in the locker room lying on a couch, the undermanned Bulls continued their dominance of the supposed second-best team in the East, beating it, 109-107, Monday at the Air Canada Centre.

Not only was that once again a sweep of the season series, but was now nine straight wins over a Raptors team that can’t seem to solve the Bulls no matter who is healthy enough to put a uniform on.

Was it pretty?

Not by any means, especially in the fourth quarter, as the Bulls (33-32) watched their 13-point lead slowly distinguish into a nail-biter over the last

10:49 of the game.

But there’s a reason that Jimmy Butler is the best all-around player on the roster, even after missing 14 of the team’s past 15 games with a left knee strain. With DeMar DeRozan trying to play hero by driving the length of the court and tie the game up in the final seconds, Butler not only got his hand in there to stop the layup, but gave the ball back to the Bulls with less than a second left after a review showed it went off DeRozan’s knee.

“I’ve guarded him plenty,” Butler said of DeRozan. “I know you bring that ball down, you gotta bring it up to get it to the basket. Luckily, I had a quick enough hand to get a piece of it. Hit off his knee, and we took it the other way.”

It was classic Butler to the rescue, as he finished with 13 points, five rebounds and six assists, playing in only his second game since Feb. 6. Not the greatest numbers, but considering the knee still is sore and he had to put in just less than 34 minutes of work – including playing the entire fourth quarter – there was little to complain about.

“A win is a win, no matter how [bad] I played,” Butler said, downplaying his

stat line.

Coach Fred Hoiberg saw Butler’s performance a bit differently.

One day after he told his team that they needed to “nut the [expletive] up,” Butler helped drove that point home with his defense alone.

“That was a huge play by Jimmy,” Hoiberg said. “Coming down, we made one of the two free throws, and just made a heck of a play on the ball. They set that screen high and Jimmy just fought through it.’’

Then again, Butler’s return to the court was made easier by the likes of Doug McDermott and E’Twaun Moore, who gave the soft Toronto defense problems all night.

The Bulls had built a 58-52 halftime lead thanks to McDermott shooting 7 for 7 for 24 points and Moore 5 for 6 for 11 points. By the end of the third, the lead was up to seven points, with the two then a combined 16 for 18, finishing the game with a combined 46 points.

As for Butler, with the Bulls jumping Detroit to grab back that No. 8 spot in the playoff seeding, sore knees and burning lungs will have to wait. In his mind it’s time to do whatever it takes.

The Bulls’ Doug McDermott shoots against the Raptors’ Norman Powell during first-half action Monday in Toronto.

CHICAGO – It happened in March of 2015, when the Blackhawks lost three of four, including back-to-back losses to the Flyers and Blue Jackets.

It happened in March of 2014, when the Hawks lost four of five, including two shutouts. It even happened in the March of 2013, when the Hawks lost three of four soon after their record 21-0-3 start.

And it’s happening again.

The Hawks lost their third straight game Monday night, a rather dismal 5-0 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings. They’ve lost four of five, and have scored only 10 goals in those five games. The previous three March stumbles ended in a combined 10 playoff series wins and two Stanley Cups, so perspective is necessary here. But all three losses have come against Western Conference contenders (they at least salvaged a point in an overtime loss at St. Louis), and all three have come after the Hawks loaded up at the trade deadline. On top of that, the Hawks are as healthy as they’ve been all season. There are no excuses, just losses.

This was a poor showing all around. Corey Crawford gave up two goals in 18 seconds early in the first period, to Kris Versteeg and Milan Lucic, before Vincent Lecavalier (in the second) and Dustin Brown and Tyler Toffoli (in the third) tacked on insurance goals. The Hawks defense was porous and sloppy.

And the offense was stifled by the stout Kings, with coach Joel Quenneville even resorting to putting Patrick Kane on the top line with Jonathan Toews in an effort to find him some open ice. Only six of the Hawks’ 16 shots in the first two periods came at even-strength. And Kings goalie Jonathan Quick was brilliant on the shots that did make it through, making 32 saves, 16 of which came in the third period.

Crawford finished with 20 saves on 25 shots, and the Hawks were 0 for 6 on the power play.

6 BEARS

Hicks excited to join ascending defense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears went 6-10 last season, but there’s a belief from general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox that things at Halas Hall are going in the right direction, which led to another key front-seven player signing Sunday evening – defensive lineman Akiem Hicks.

“Opportunity was the biggest thing that I wanted to have in the organization I chose to be with,” Hicks said Monday on a conference call. “I wanted to have the opportunity to play and play a lot, and be a part of a team that has a legitimate chance to win.”

A 6-foot-5, 324-pounder who went to Regina (Canada), Hicks visited Chicago late Friday and the two sides came to the agreement Sunday evening. The two-year deal reportedly is worth $10 million with $5.5 million guaranteed.

Last season, Hicks started the first three games of the season for the Saints before being traded to the Patriots, where he had 21 tackles and three sacks. The Saints selected Hicks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Pace

and Bears director of player personnel Josh Lucas were with the Saints’ scouting department for that draft, so there is plenty of familiarity.

“I would say it was a great benefit having a relationship beforehand,” Hicks said.

“Definitely one of the reasons that I considered making the visit to Chicago, and really Akiem Hicks one of the final reasons that I made my decision to become a Chicago Bear.”

Hicks has played in 46 career games and four postseason contests. He has 140 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 23 QB hits, one pass defensed and one forced fumble.

The 26-year-old is the third player the Bears have signed for the front seven on defense, joining Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. He should be a starter on the D-line alongside last year’s second-round pick Eddie Goldman. The Bears did re-sign Mitch Unrein but do not appear to be bringing back Jarvis Jenkins. Hicks will wear No. 96, Jenkins’ number last season,

and he’ll look to be the impact D-lineman for Vic Fangio’s defense.

“When I look at some of the players that [Fangio has] had in the past, I’d definitely say that I’m comparable to that as far as my leverage and my length and my capability to play multiple positions,” he said. “If anything, I’m pretty excited to see how I will fare in his defense. He’s had a great track record of making successful defensive linemen and successful defenses as a whole. I’m just excited to be under his tutelage and to learn from a great mind in the NFL for a number of years.”

Hicks has a big fan on the other side of the Bears’ line in Kyle Long, who earlier Sunday tweeted, “I’ve played against [Hicks] twice and I don’t want to play against him again...” and after the signing, tweeted, “I know our linebackers are jumping for joy. We just signed colossus.”

Long’s tweets certainly helped excite Hicks about joining the Pro Bowler in the Bears’ trenches.

“We had a little bit of banter. It’s not our first time going after it. There have been several times on the field over the past four years of being in the NFL that

me and Kyle Long have locked horns,” he said. “It was a pleasure for him to want me to be a Chicago Bear. I’m excited and I’m sure we’re going to have a bunch of fun coming into training camp.”

TE Miller re-signs: The Bears’ offense got a boost Monday with the re-signing of tight end Zach Miller, who returns on a two-year deal.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the contract is worth $6 million over two years with $2 million more available in incentives.

Miller, 31, had a career year in 2015, after missing the three previous regular seasons because of injuries. He played in 15 games with 14 starts and had 34 catches for 439 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 12.9 yards a catch.

According to reports, Miller was slated to visit the Los Angeles Rams on Monday.

The Bears reportedly have been shopping Martellus Bennett, and have Rob Housler (also re-signed Monday), Khari Lee and Gannon Sinclair as the other tight ends under contract for 2016.

The NFL has not previously linked playing football to CTE directly.

8 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Abreu says Cactus League success matters

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu looks around the White Sox’s clubhouse and likes what he sees: new players bonding and laughing with the old, while maintaining an edge.

It’s a mix of guys from Florida, Texas, the Midwest, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, New Jersey and elsewhere who are hitting it off and hitting it on the field, all of which is good for a team that never clicked offensively or really came together in a good-chemistry kind of way last year.

Abreu, the biggest everyday star of them all, likes the tone being set. He’ll tell you he’s tired of losing – the Sox are 149-175 in his two seasons since coming over from Cuba despite Abreu’s 66 homers, 208 RBIs and a fourth-place finish in

the American League MVP voting his rookie season.

“I know for some people, these games don’t mean anything,” he said of the Sox’s first 12 Cactus League games, which saw them slug 22 homers and lead all of spring training baseball with a .523 slugging percentage. “And it’s true to Jose Abreu some extent because the numbers here do not count for the season. But for us, especially for us who had a bad season last year (76-86), to have that kind of start to spring training is good because it gives us confidence.”

The Sox have a recent history of lackluster performance in spring training – they were 12-17-3 last year and are 94-12420 since moving to Glendale in 2009 – and

it often set the wrong tone going into the regular season.

“You can’t just flip the switch (when the regular season begins),” hitting coach Todd Steverson said.

Abreu, 29, who came to camp more than two weeks before he was required to, led the way in flipping the preparation switch. And the Sox, last in the AL in homers and runs scored last year, have come out swinging with a better complement of players around Abreu.

Abreu says it matters.

“That’s important because we’re building something good here and we want that chemistry, and the offense we’re seeing now, to translate into the season,” he said through translator Billy Russo. “I feel very good and confident about this team.”

Abreu, a gung-ho worker, helped set the tone with his usual early arrival, but

he’s being smarter about his routine this spring. He worked on his hitting with Steverson in the offseason for a few days in Miami, and then he backed off. Steverson sees Abreu backing off in spurts, pacing himself better in his third spring training.

“I’ve made some little changes,” Abreu said. “In my first spring training I was taking too may swings and that probably works against me in the end.’’

For Abreu, the season could begin today and he’d be ready to hit.

“You can count on him being prepared, being ready to play,’’ manager Robin Ventura said. “He brings a little something extra to the table because of his preparation, and he cares a lot about what’s going on in the clubhouse with the guys that he plays with. He shows up in shape, ready to go pretty much Day 1.”

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Union might seek credit for Bryant’s service time

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – If Kris Bryant and the players’ union have their way, last year’s National League Rookie of the Year will spend one fewer year with the Cubs before being allowed to seek untold riches wherever he chooses.

Union chief Tony Clark on Monday did not rule out seeking credit for the 12 days of service time Bryant was denied at the start of last season as part of discussions to reform service-time rules and practices during upcoming CBA talks. That would make Bryant a free agent after the 2020 season instead of 2021.

The players union filed first-of-

their-kind grievances last year over service-time manipulation on behalf of Bryant and Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco. The grievances have not been resolved, but the “remedy” for each seems more likely to be found in the larger CBA negotiations than an actual grievance Kris Bryant hearing.

“When and if there are grievances related to Kris or anyone else on this issue, that would be part of the conversation,” said Clark, who refused to specifically acknowledge either grievance.

“Meaning, a remedy [could include] finding those days and giving those days

back,” Clark said, “and if so, how does that affect the system? It’s a challenging issue. It doesn’t have a clear answer.”

Clark was in Mesa on Monday as part of his annual tour of spring training camps to address union-related issues with players, this visit carrying additional significance because of the expiration of the current CBA at the end of this year.

Less than a year ago, Clark’s office issued a scathing statement when Bryant was cut from big-league camp near the end of March despite coming off a Minor League Player of the Year season at Double-A and Triple-A and producing the best offensive spring training by a player in at least a decade.

The union called it “a bad day for th

66NNUAL A

baseball” and threatened the litigation that Clark now refuses to acknowledge.

Bryant on Monday said it’s about more than just him and Franco.

“It’s happened before, with Dexter (Fowler), Anthony (Rizzo),” he said. “I think they’ll do things in the next CBA to alleviate that, but I don’t know how much. … We’ll see next year, I guess.”

It’s murky at best what changes could be made to the CBA that would prevent teams from using the letter of the law in the agreement to make a roster decision that maximizes club control of a player (the way the Cubs did with Bryant) or to assure the maximum three arbitration years (instead of the fourth that’s added when a player exceeds a service-time threshold in a partial season).

out of the hospital that morning to get down for the game, and then to be there when we won, that was special,” Nate Oats said. “I just feel like God gave us the grace to make it through.”

It has been a challenging year for Oats on and off the court since the Bulls assistant was promoted in April to take over for Bobby Hurley, who left Buffalo to accept a job at Arizona State.

In departing after leading Buffalo to its first NCAA tournament berth, Hurley also lured star guard Shannon Evans with him. In August, Buffalo sustained another huge loss when forward Justin Moss, the returning MAC player of the year, was kicked out of

school for stealing $650 out of a dorm room.

Oats had no choice but to roll with the punches.

“You’ve got to have a positive attitude. So you go in and keep selling them on what we can look like,” Oats recalled in what he told his players the day after Moss was kicked out. “I was like, ‘Here my deal: Our goal is to make the NCAA tournament. I’m not changing our goals.’”

Oats laughed when asked if he even believed himself at the time.

“I believed we could, but I don’t know if I actually firmly believed it was going to happen,” he said.

Without Moss, Oats shifted his approach, emphasizing depth and teamwork. The model peaked with Buffalo rebounding from a 2-5 end-of-season skid to win four consecutive conference tournament games.

Relying on defense, the Bulls have four players averaging double-digits in scoring per game, led by sophomore guard Lamonte Bearden (13.6 points).

Meanwhile, nine players are averaging 16 minutes of playing time.

“It just shows you how tough our team is mentally,” Hamilton said. “A lot of people didn’t believe in us at the beginning of the year. We just wanted to prove people wrong.”

AMHERST, N.Y. – Family came first and basketball second in October, when first-year University at Buffalo coach Nate Oats immediately considered taking an indefinite leave of absence upon learning his wife had been diagnosed with cancer.

Crystal Oats would hear nothing of it.

“I definitely didn’t want him not to coach because I enjoy it as much as he does,” she said. “So it would’ve been just a downer for me.”

She also realized Nate Oats there were therapeutic benefits to being a coach’s wife in allowing her to feel a part of the team.

“I got to go to games. I got to travel a little bit, which made me feel like I was just a normal person, not somebody who had cancer,” she said, attending the Bulls’ NCAA tournament selection party Sunday. “So this has helped me immensely, too.”

Some four months later, Crystal Oats is progressing toward beating lymphoma. She completed her final chemotherapy treatments last week and is scheduled to have a bone marrow transplant next month.

Things also are looking up for Nate Oats, who as recently as three years ago was teaching math and coaching at Romulus High School in suburban Detroit.

The Bulls overcame an offseason string of adversity to make a return trip to the NCAA tournament by repeating as Mid-American Conference tournament champions. Buffalo (2014) is the South Region’s 14th seed and opens against Miami (25-7) on Thursday at Providence, Rhode Island.

The joy and relief culminated Saturday night in Cleveland after Blake Hamilton hit a 3-point basket with 2 seconds left in Buffalo’s 64-61 win over Akron.

With the team chanting her name, Crystal was the last person to climb the ladder and snip the net in the post-championship celebration.

NEW YORK – Breanna Stewart made it her goal to win four titles in her career at UConn. Now she and her Huskies are six wins away from accomplishing that unprecedented feat.

“Honestly, I don’t feel that much pressure,” Stewart said. “The pressure was more last year or my sophomore season, just because I needed those to finish this one. Now, it’s just this is it.

This is my last try.”

The Huskies haven’t really talked about the history they could make over the next three weeks.

“They know obviously that this is an opportunity for them to win the fourth national championship. They know that,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “And they’ve known it since the first time we met at half court there for the first day of practice. The only other time it has been mentioned is in passing when they do something stupid and I say, ‘Teams that are trying to do something great, they don’t do that stuff, not in March.’ ” UConn’s road to a fourth straight national championship will begin at home.

The Huskies were the top overall seed in the women’s NCAA tournament that was revealed Monday night.

UConn (32-0) won’t have to leave the state until the Final Four in Indianapolis. The Huskies are in the Bridgeport Regional.

Joining the Huskies as the other No. 1 seeds are South Carolina, Notre Dame and Baylor. UConn already has beaten the Gamecocks and Irish this season. The Huskies would face Baylor on April 3 in the national semifinals if both teams advance that far.

Both UConn and Tennessee won three straight women’s titles, but no women’s team has four consecutive championships. The UCLA men’s team won seven in a row. A title this year would give Auriemma 11 in his career, breaking a tie with vaunted UCLA men’s basketball coach John Wooden.

First up for the Huskies, who have been a No. 1 seed for 10 straight years, is 16-seed Robert Morris. The Colonials won the NEC championship.

The top four seeds in each region will host the opening two rounds except for No. 4 Michigan State, which has a conflict so fifth-seed Mississippi State will take over as the host.

Tennessee earned a No. 7 seed, the lowest in school history. The Lady Vols, who have played in every NCAA tournament, will face Green Bay in the opening round at Arizona State.

“Is it where we usually are? No, but it’s a great spot for us to go to work,” Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said.

While Tennessee has to head west, fourth-seeded Stanford could be heading east. Tara VanDerveer’s team hosts former player Jennifer Azzi and her San Francisco Bay Area program in the opening round. If they can advance to the Sweet 16, the Cardinal will play in Kentucky. The third-seeded Wildcats won’t have to leave the area until the Final Four. They host the opening two rounds and then would play in Rupp Arena for the regional.

“For our team to work hard enough and be able to earn a top-16 seed and host in Memorial Coliseum is great,” Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. “So they had to earn that and I am grateful

the committee put us in Lexington. We are going to have to really work hard to get a victory in the first round, but the prospects to get to play in Lexington for the Sweet 16 is exciting.”

Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina are three of nine SEC teams to make the field. That ties the Big East (2011) for the most ever in the women’s tournament.

Other notables from the bracket: Two-bid Ivy League: Days after announcing the first Ivy League postseason tournament, the league earned the first at-large bid for either a men’s or women’s team with Princeton earning an 11-seed. The Tigers, who will face West Virginia, lost to Penn twice during the regular season – their only conference blemishes.

“I’m bursting with pride for my team and for this great university. Princeton just became the first team in Ivy League history to earn an at-large bid,” Princeton coach Courtney Banghart said. “That’s something that will mean so much to me for forever. As an Ivy League alum, I share in the significance of this day with the many great scholar-athletes and coaches that are a part of this special league.”

Penn is a 10-seed and will face Washington in the opening round.

Newcomers: Duquesne headlined five first-time NCAA tournament teams.

The ninth-seeded Dukes are the only at-large team of the group and open up against Seton Hall. Other newcomers include Buffalo, Central Arkansas, Iona and Jacksonville.

NIU part of inaugural Vegas 16 field Next

SHAW MEDIA

The Northern Illinois men’s basketball team is going to test its luck in Las Vegas.

The Huskies accepted an invitation to play in the inaugural Vegas 16 tournament that begins with a meeting against UC Santa Barbara at 4:30 p.m. March 28.

“This tournament is a great reward for ... a successful 20-plus win season and we are looking forward to playing in a very good field on a neutral site,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said of the eight-team tournament.

All the games will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and be played at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

“We had originally hoped to launch this new tournament with 16 teams, but only if we could secure top-quality programs,” said Brooks Downing, president of bd Global, the tournament organizer.

“With highly unusual results in many of the conference tournaments, we were hesitant to just fill out the bracket with ‘available teams.’ So by choosing quality over quantity, we settled on eight teams, many of which were considered for an NIT berth, and all of which have had out-

Northern Illinois basketball coach Mark Montgomery’s team will face UC Santa Barbara on March 28 in the first round of the Vegas 16 tournament in Las Vegas. standing seasons they want to celebrate in our event.”

The Huskies (21-12) finished with the 136th-best RPI in the country, according to NCAA.com.

NIU has not played in a postseason tournament after the Mid-American Conference tournament since 1995-96

– when the Huskies lost to Texas Tech, 74-73, in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It will be only the fourth time in school history the Huskies will be playing in a postseason tournament.

The Vegas 16 field includes six 20-win teams – including the Huskies, Louisiana Tech (23-9), East Tennessee State

(23-11), Old Dominion (22-13), Oakland (21-11) and Towson (20-12). If the Huskies beat UC Santa Barbara (18-13), they will play the winner of Tennessee Tech (1911) and Old Dominion.

After the Huskies’ 56-50 win over Western Michigan in the first round of the MAC tournament, Montgomery said the Huskies had invitations to the CIT (CollegeInsider Tournament), CBI (College Basketball Invitational) and the Vegas 16.

The CIT began Monday and features MAC West rivals Ball State (19-13) and Central Michigan (17-15) – and the CBI field is set, with Ohio (21-11) representing the MAC. Akron (26-8) is playing Ohio State in the first round of the NIT and Buffalo (24-14), which won the MAC tournament, is in the NCAA tournament as a No. 14 seed against No. 3 Miami (Fla.).
