Man accused of posing as attorney Charged with stealing upward of $75K from McHenry County residents By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A man with prior felony charges alleging that he stole thousands of dollars from a marginalized population is back in McHenry County Jail on new, similar allegations. Victor M. Moreno, 42, is charged with nine counts of theft and other felonies in six

separate bills of indictment from three different communities. He remains in custody in lieu of $400,000 bond. According to court documents, Moreno falsely represented himself to be an attorney, and offered to help his clients on a host of matters such as immigration cases, mortgage refinancing and real estate taxes. The indictments are based on al-

legations from Harvard, Woodstock and Crystal Lake. In total, he’s accused of – between October 2012 and February 2013 – stealing upward of $75,000 from about six alleged victims who each believed that Moreno was a licensed attorney, court documents reveal. Falsely impersonating an attorney also is a felony, a charge for which Moreno is accused in

two instances. The most serious charge against him – financial exploitation of an elderly person because one of the alleged victims was 70 years old – is punishable by three to seven years in prison. Moreno was charged September 2013, and later posted bond to be released. He was subsequently charged this year with indictments coming out of Har-

vard. Last week, McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather increased Moreno’s bond in light of DUI and drug charges he picked up in Cook County in February while out on bond for the earlier cases. His last known address is in Chicago, although previous records indicate he has lived in several locations in Woodstock.

Record requests pricey for Ferguson Faced criticism over hefty fees in wake of shooting By JIM SALTER and DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – Ferguson officials were inundated with thousands of open-records requests from media outlets and the public following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer. In response, the St. Louis suburb sought payments of thousands of dollars before even beginning to fulfill some of those requests, and Ferguson’s city attorney has defended that decision. Some media outlets complained to the Missouri attorney general that Ferguson was violating the state’s Sunshine Law, which is intended to ensure public access to records at a reasonable cost. The situation highlights the challenges local governments can face when they suddenly become the focus of intense public interest, and the growing threat of high costs to expanding openness at all levels of government – a cornerstone of Sunshine Week. The open government initiative is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. “I’m sure being in this kind of a spotlight can seem overwhelming to them,” said Jean Maneke, a Kansas City attorney who specializes in Sunshine Law issues. But she added: “The public has a right to ask questions about how its government works, and it’s in Ferguson’s best interest to be as transparent as it can.” Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot by Darren Wilson, who is white, during an Aug. 9 confrontation. A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Justice Department both declined to charge Wilson, though a separate federal report found evidence of racial profiling and other problems in Ferguson’s police department and court system. The shooting spurred an influx of open-record requests seeking information on Brown and Wilson. Concerns about how the mostly white police

Instructor Bill Stockwell gets ready to fly his drone Wednesday while teaching his introduction to unmanned aerial systems class at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. The class provides students with a basic understanding of what a drone is and how it operates, along with the rules and guidelines for safe operations, maintenance, information on each component and how a drone is constructed.

A LESSON IN FLYING McHenry County College rolls out introductory class on drones On the Web

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Bill Stockwell’s hands barely moved as the drone rose straight up into the air, the four horizontal propellers whirring. The four men in his class – Stockwell’s introduction to drones course is in its first semester at McHenry County College and Elgin Community College – moved in closer to watch the screen on Stockwell’s remote control. “We have smaller ones, not like that. Bill’s is a little intense,” said Brian Monte of Crystal Lake, the owner of Barrington-based GadgetBar who is taking the course along with his employee, Taylor Wadlington of Cary. The two plan on expanding the business – primarily focused on repairing cellphones, cameras, tablets and computers – into this new territory, repairing the unmanned aerial systems and building them from scratch. The course, which meets over six Wednesdays this spring, gives

They’ll also get a primer on pre- and post-flight inspections, basic maintenance and how a drone is constructed.

While all the students in this course already have a drone at home, the course focuses on using a simulator to get them used to the systems – without all the crashes and repairs, Stockwell said. “The simulator is definitely a

good tool,” he said. “It’s, I’d say, 70 percent realistic. It teaches you how to use your hands and what the machine’s doing, so if you practice enough on a simulator, you can go out and figure it out.” The biggest difference is the lack of environment, the sounds of the machine, the wind and the wildlife that like to attack the drones, Stockwell said. “The biggest thing is they’ve become incredibly easy to fly,” said Jim McCarthy, a Cary resident who’s been playing around with model airplanes for the past 20 years and decided to learn more about drones. “We could go outside, and I could show you some basics, and you’d be able to fly it. I learned the hard way, which was fly, crash, rebuild it, crash, rebuild it, crash.”

Budget proposal cuts into child care services Buried deep within Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget plan for next fiscal year is yet another claimed “savings” that might not actually save any money, and could easily wind up costing the state more. The governor proposes to save a whopping $108 million by discontinuing child care services provided by relatives in the child’s or relative’s home. At first glance, that cut might look prudent. Why should the state pay grandma to baby-sit her own grandkid? Is that some sort of scam? Go to any right-wing blog and you’ll occasionally see stories bashing this whole idea. But, in reality, by pulling those payments, which are designed to help low-income parents go to school and work their way out of poverty, “grandma” could lose her income and may very well have to find a different parttime job, meaning the parent then has to search for another provider and the state saves no money. And because relatives who provide child care are exempt from all state licensing requirements, that child could end up at a licensed day care provider, which costs the state a whole lot more money.

LOTTERY

VIEWS Rich Miller It’s simple math. The rate the state pays for relative care, care in the child’s home and for license-exempt day care homes is $16.22 per day. But the rates paid for licensed day care centers varies from $33.53 per day in parts of downstate to $46.49 per day in Chicago and the collar counties. So, we’re talking about the potential of almost tripling the price per child in the region where most people live. Licensed-exempt day care centers and licensed day care homes are cheaper, but they’re still substantially more expensive than relative care, ranging from $29.20 per day in parts of downstate all the way up to $40.50 in Chicago and the suburbs. And even if the state ends up paying for nonrelative care in the kids’ own homes or at a license-exempt home day care provider, it costs the state the exact same money as it’s paying now. So why even bother with this? “Simply by eliminating one class of care, we don’t necessarily elimi-

nate those children from the system,” explained Megan Meyer, spokeswoman for the Ounce of Prevention Fund, which just happens to be run by the governor’s wife. “Some families certainly may opt out, but others may choose licensed home or center-based care, all of which are more expensive.” Emily Miller with Voices For Illinois Children was far more blunt. “Obviously I can’t speak for the governor, but perhaps the governor thinks that someone else – like a child care [provider] – won’t care for the kid, and the current child care provider will just continue to do it and not get paid,” Miller said. “I don’t see why that would happen. But there are a lot of magic assumptions in this budget.” Yes, there are a whole lot of “magic assumptions” in the governor’s budget proposal. The thing is chock full of wishful thinking, such as the $2.2 billion savings from a pension reform plan which must be implemented by this coming July 1, but also can’t be halted by a lawsuit, which is so unlikely there aren’t enough decimal point zeroes in the world to give you the percentages of success. It’s simply an impossible fairy tale. Now, it’s true some relatives might

very well volunteer to take care of the kids for free. That would be a great thing for the state, which wouldn’t have to pick up the tab. But we’re talking about economically distressed parents here, and they tend to come from poor families. So, while some money could be saved, it most certainly won’t be $108 million. The governor’s proposal, by the way, would also phase out child care subsidies for kids age 6 and older. “Over time, the total number of children who would lose access is about 65,000,” Miller said. “That’s how many kids there are age 6-12 who are currently enrolled. It’s over time because children over 5 who are already enrolled will continue to be as long as they remain enrolled.” Whatever you think about that proposed cut, at least that will produce the savings intended, as well as more future savings as it’s phased in. So kudos for accuracy. Maybe not so much for humanity. I asked the governor’s press office for comment on all of these issues, but never heard back.

A drone hovers above students Wednesday during the introduction to unmanned aerial systems class at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. The class provides participants with a basic understanding of what a drone is and how it operates, along with the rules and guidelines for safe operations, maintenance, information on each component and how a drone is constructed.

Introductory course started up this spring • DRONES Continued from page A1 That crash-repair-crash cycle is the biggest obstacle to getting an upper-level course off the ground, Stockwell said. He doesn’t have the money to purchase 15 or so machines, and until he gets a private sponsorship or the college backs the purchase, it’s just something he’d like to do. Stockwell had been providing coaching and training privately and to emergency responders before the introductory course started this

spring, but his main interest with the drones has been centered on aerial photography. “I’ve been attaching cameras to everything I own, flying around, driving around, for about 15 years,” the Lake in the Hills resident said. “[With drones], people get that different vantage point. They see something there. You can take all the pictures you want, all the selfies you want, but a 15-foot-in-the-air selfie just looks so much cooler, not being a thousand feet in the air taking a picture from a plane but that in-between.”

Before shooting, Ferguson rarely received requests • FERGUSON Continued from page A1 force interacted with a town where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black sparked other requests. Still more concerned the often tense relationship between protesters and police. The requests sought crime investigation reports, emails and other internal documents. They came from media, bloggers, civil rights and legal defense groups, and individuals. Ferguson City Attorney Stephanie Karr didn’t have an exact count, but noted by October she had collected about 3,000 pages of open-records requests. For a town unaccustomed to such volume – Karr said Ferguson rarely received more than a couple of requests a month before the shooting – it was overwhelming. “I went for about seven weeks without any time off,” said Karr, adding her overtime was unpaid. “Sometimes I would work from morning until midnight. I worked Saturdays and Sundays. I was working on Ferguson all the time, and a big chunk of that was Sunshine Law requests.” Karr and the city clerk were responsible for answering the requests, with some help from a law assistant and an intern. In some cases, the city sought down payments of $2,000 from media organiza-

tions before it would begin processing requests. Karr said those were rare cases in which the city would have to hire an information technology consulting firm to retrieve emails at a cost of $135 an hour and a $500 base fee. She said one request would have required the retrieval of 50,000 emails. “There is no reason for the taxpayers of the city to bear this financial burden,” Karr said in an email. The Associated Press, CNN, St. Louis Public Radio and the Radio Television Digital News Association all filed complaints with the office of Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, asserting the fees violated the state Sunshine Law. Although Missouri law limits copying charges to the average hourly pay of clerical staff, public entities can charge their “actual cost” for research time and any extraordinary computer programming that’s necessary. Koster’s office hasn’t determined whether Ferguson’s charges are reasonable, but “the fact is the law allows you to charge actual costs, and sometimes those costs are more than you might expect,” said Patricia Churchill, chief counsel in the office’s governmental affairs division. Karr defended the city’s Sunshine Law efforts, noting it waived copying fees for tens of thousands of records in the first few weeks after the shooting.

SKETCH VIEW

Pick that up; halt littering Springlike temperatures have taken a big bite out of McHenry County’s snow cover. As snow melts away, unfortunately, a winter’s worth of litter is revealed. Trash tossed out of cars is visible along the streets. Cups and wrappers dropped by pedestrians lie along sidewalks. Couch cushions and tires that fell out of – or were tossed from – pickups can be seen along roadsides. Most people know that littering is wrong. Most people might not know littering has been against state law only since the 1970s. The Illinois Litter Control Act became law Jan. 1, 1974. The act described the state’s littering problem, set forth prohibitions and penalties, and called for strict enforcement. Why was Illinois afflicted by littering in the 1970s? Because of “rapid population growth, the ever increasing mobility of the population[,] and improper and abusive discard habits” of the public. What’s wrong with littering, anyway? It’s “detrimental to the welfare of the people of this state.” And further, “[W]hile there has been a collective failure by government, industry and the public to develop and accomplish effective litter control, there is a need to educate the public with respect to the problem of litter and to provide for strict enforcement of litter control measures.” Looking at our roadsides, it seems as if things haven’t changed all that much. The act went on to define litter as “any discarded, used or unconsumed substance or waste.” That takes in a wide range of stuff, including, according to the act, garbage, trash, refuse, cigarettes, debris, rubbish, grass clippings or other lawn or garden waste, newspapers, magazines, glass, metal, plastic or paper containers or other packaging, construction material, abandoned vehicles, motor vehicle parts, furniture and oil. Wait, we’re not done yet. Also, animal carcasses, any nauseous or offensive matter of any kind, any object likely to injure anyone or create traffic hazards, potentially infectious medical waste, “or anything else of an unsightly or unsanitary nature.” Basically, anything that’s been discarded, abandoned or disposed of improperly fills the bill. As of Jan. 1, 2014, cigarette butts were added to the official list of banned litter. The act prohibits littering on public and private property, whether it’s land or water. It mandates trash receptacles be placed on property, public and private, that is open to the public. A first-time littering offense is a Class B misdemeanor. Get caught littering a second time, and it’s a Class A misdemeanor. Litter three or more times, and you’ve committed a Class 4 felony. What about enforcement? “This act shall be enforced by all law enforcement officers in their respective jurisdictions, whether employed by the state or by any unit of local government. Prosecutions for violation of this act shall be conducted by the state attorneys of the several counties and by the Attorney General of this state.” The law is clear: No littering allowed. The law is also clear: Anti-littering provisions are to be strictly enforced. Of course, the problem hasn’t gone away because some people don’t care enough to reform their littering ways, and police officers can’t be everywhere. To those for whom littering is a bad habit, we encourage them to break it and adopt better habits. Keep a trash bag in the car and put litter in it for disposal at home. Don’t discard litter while you’re out walking. And if something falls off your truck, turn around and pick it up. As spring approaches and the last snow disappears, make it a habit to stop carelessly discarding cups, cans, wrappers, bags and so forth. Then, perhaps, we can all enjoy watching the litter problem melt away.

ANOTHER VIEW

Police aren’t private The Ohio Supreme Court, if not the Legislature, must weigh in on whether “private” police departments should be bound by state public records laws. The high court took a small, but important, step last week when it rejected a request by Otterbein University to dismiss a suit filed last year. Anna Schiffbauer, then news editor of a student-run news website, sued Otterbein after it repeatedly refused to turn over reports of arrests made by university police. There should not be private police, but, if there are, they must be accountable to the public. The (Findlay, Ohio) Courier

IT’S YOUR WRITE Dedicated to Woodstock To the Editor: I endorse Mark Saladin for Woodstock councilman. Mark is supporting efforts to make our city a better place to work, shop and live. In the past four years, the city has maintained a balanced budget without increasing the city’s portion of property taxes. Our historic courthouse is being restored, anchored by the Public House restaurant. The movie theater and surrounding area has been upgraded. A fiber optic network is being installed to upgrade the city’s computer network and will benefit local businesses. An enterprise zone has been applied for to make it easier to attract new businesses and create jobs. Mark serves as chairman of the board on the McHenry County Economic Development Corp., which works on increasing economic growth to bring more jobs to Woodstock. Mark is dedicated to coming up with solutions to

improve our quality of life in Woodstock and is worthy of our support. Brian Moxley Woodstock

Who’s looking out for Leon? To the Editor: Meet Leon (not his real name) – a fourth-grader in special education class who struggles to read a word. Leon felt disengaged from the class and found himself in trouble for distracting the kids around him. He finds school difficult and unrewarding, so he often makes excuses why he can’t come to school. There are many Leons in our nation’s schools. What provisions are in place for students such as Leon and others with disabilities so they can excel in school? Common Core curriculum is based around the PARCC Test. It includes a series of passages and vocabulary words that make it

For Leon, taking a test that is beyond his capabilities will further undermine his confidence. I can’t imagine his unyielding sadness over his current state of reading.

experiences.” No child should be left behind. Why not teach to his learning style instead of teaching to ours? The secret, according to Spangler, an educational consultant, is to engage students to bring about their wonder and creativity. Only then will school districts see an improvement in school ranks and be truly competitive with the rest of the world. Betty Davis McHenry

VIEWS

Thomas repeatedly rejects the court’s precedents By CASS SUNSTEIN Bloomberg News Supreme Court justices might be wise, obtuse, fair or political, but we don’t ordinarily think of them as eccentric. William Douglas, who was on the court in the middle of the 20th century, long has counted as the only unambiguously eccentric justice. But now, as an opinion on separation of powers issued last week makes clear, Justice Clarence Thomas has joined him. A judge can be counted as eccentric if he holds positions that don’t fit with established law and that depart, frequently and significantly, from those that prevail within the court. A judge who is eccentric is not necessarily wrong, and eccentricity can be appealing. To many liberals, and especially to many law students, Justice Douglas seemed bold and admirably rebellious, in part because he was not bound by precedents. As early as 1949, Douglas insisted the “search for a static security – in the law or elsewhere – is misguided.” In his view, “security can only be achieved through constant change, through the wise discarding of old ideas that have outlived their usefulness, and through the adapting of others to current facts.” In his 36 years

on the court, he practiced what he preached. Douglas believed the First Amendment forbids any regulation of sexually explicit speech, including the most obscene, and it essentially obliterates the law of libel (at least when public issues are being discussed). A lifelong lover of nature, he famously argued trees, streams and other inanimate objects should have standing to bring suit in federal court. He also insisted on an expansive right of privacy, including “freedom to wander and to loaf” and broad “control over the development of one’s intellect, interests, tastes and personality.” Justice Thomas also is a fan of liberty, but ideologically he stands at the opposite pole from Douglas, and he interprets the Constitution in a radically different way. More than any justice in history, he is an originalist, insisting the Constitution’s provisions should be interpreted to mean what they meant at the time they were ratified. Like Douglas, however, Thomas isn’t committed to respect for precedent; he believes the original meaning of the Constitution has priority over any judicial interpretation. The results can be unquestionably eccentric. Last week, Thomas announced his view that Congress lacks the constitu-

tional power to give administrative agencies (such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency) the authority to “formulate generally applicable rules of private conduct.” That’s radical stuff. It appears to suggest HHS can’t issue binding rules to implement the Affordable Care Act, and the EPA can’t issue the air quality rules that have defined its work for more than four decades. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Thomas has said the First Amendment broadly forbids regulation of commercial advertising and campaign contributions. He is the only member of the court who contends the states may establish official religions (because the Constitution’s Establishment Clause applies only to the the federal government, and not to the states). He thinks prisoners have no free speech rights and the same is true of students (at least while in school). He thinks the Constitution flatly forbids public institutions from adopting affirmative action programs. In all of these areas, and many others, Thomas rejects earlier court rulings that contradict him. Douglas often was likened to his colleague Justice Hugo Black, because they both tended to be left of center, and because they frequently agreed.

But Black was generally more cautious and more respectful of precedent. Thomas is often paired with Justice Antonin Scalia, but Scalia, who has described himself as a “fainthearted” originalist, is frequently willing to defer to precedents even if, in his view, they depart from the original understanding. To the extent Thomas is this generation’s Douglas, Scalia can be regarded as its Black. Justice Thomas’ many fans no doubt will abhor this analogy. They will correctly point out, for Thomas, the original meaning of the Constitution is the lodestar; for Douglas, it was irrelevant. On this view, Douglas was essentially lawless, while Thomas is committed, above all, to fidelity to law. Maybe so. Nevertheless, both justices count as outliers, repeatedly rejecting precedents in favor of their idiosyncratic understanding of the Constitution’s meaning. And no less than Douglas, Thomas usually interprets the Constitution in a way that fits well with his admirers’ political convictions. For all their differences, the court’s two eccentrics have a lot in common. • Cass R. Sunstein, a Bloomberg View columnist, is director of the Harvard Law School’s program on behavioral economics and public policy.

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.

URBANA – Anita Hill has canceled a planned visit to the University of Illinois over a lawsuit against the school from a professor whose job offer was rescinded. In a column on The Huffington Post, Hill said the lawsuit from Steven Salaita “erodes the possibility of the open conversation I had hoped to have.” The school took back his job offer after he posted anti-Israel tweets. The News-Gazette reported Hill, who testified against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991, was set to give the keynote address at a conference next month at the Urbana-Champaign campus. She was also scheduled to give a lecture. Civil rights activist and academic Cornel West also canceled an appearance at the school, saying earlier this month its decision to take back Salaita’s job offer is “a moral scandal.”

NEW YORK – Blackstone is buying Chicago’s Willis Tower, once called the Sears Tower, from 233 South Wacker LLC for an undisclosed amount. The Willis Tower is 110 stories and the second-tallest office building in the U.S. It is the fifth-tallest office building in the world. The Willis Tower’s Skydeck, located on the 103rd floor, is a popular tourist attraction. It provides 1.6 million visitors a year with views of Chicago and the surrounding area including from the “Ledge,” glass cubes which extend from the building.

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin says he’s backing Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s re-election bid in the runoff contest next month. However, the Democrat said the election will depend on turnout. The Chicago Sun-Times reported Durbin spoke to reporters Monday in Chicago. Emanuel is seeking a second term but was unable to capture the outright majority needed in last month’s election. He now faces an April 7 runoff with Cook County Commissioner Jesus Dick Durbin Garcia, who received the most votes after Emanuel. Durbin said he sees “glimmers of hope” in both camps and while he supports Emanuel, he has friends working for Garcia’s campaign. Garcia has recently picked up endorsements from major labor unions, including the Service Employees International Union, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

State to take peregrine falcon off threatened list SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials are set to remove the peregrine falcon from the state’s threatened species list. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported the bird will be taken off the list in the coming weeks after action by a legislative committee. The formal removal process has been going on for more than three years, after the bird has made a comeback in the state. The peregrine falcon was once on the U.S. endangered species list, as the use of the pesticide DDT in the mid-20th century caused its population to decline severely. It was removed from the national list in 1999.

Illinois GOP leaders turn out for re-election fundraiser in Chicago The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Illinois Republican leaders turned out Monday for an early fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s 2016 re-election campaign in a show of support that appeared aimed at dissuading any GOP primary challengers. Gov. Bruce Rauner, a half-dozen members of the state’s congressional delegation and some of the party’s biggest Illinois donors were among the GOP faithful who appeared at a downtown Chicago club, some paying up to $15,000 a ticket. The event raised more than $200,000, Kirk said. Kirk, elected in 2010 to the

Donors had role in Schock’s property deal WASHINGTON – The financial questions about Illinois congressman Aaron Schock keep coming. Illinois state and county property records show a shell company linked to the embattled congressman paid a political donor $300,000 last year for a commercial property in Peoria then took out a $600,000 mortgage for the property from a local bank run by other donors. The newly disclosed arrangement follows similar Aaron Schock Schock real estate deals detailed by a recent Associated Press investigation into the Republican’s business transactions involving political contributors over the past decade. The 2014 deal, which occurred after the congressman’s most recent financial report, raises new questions about Schock’s pattern of repeated reliance on campaign contributors.

Mayor, challenger spar in feisty debate The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel aggressively dissected his re-election challenger’s record and platform Monday in the first head-to-head televised debate before next month’s runoff election, but Cook County Commissioner Jesus Garcia came back at the former White House chief of staff with questions about the city’s financial problems and violence. The tone was snappy with the former White House chief of staff trying to highlight what Emanuel says is Garcia’s lack of experience, especially in managing the

finances of the nation’s third most populous city. Emanuel said Garcia’s plans – including calling for 1,000 more police officers – aren’t realistic because of the strain on the budget. Several times he criticized Garcia’s plan to call for a full review of city spending before committing to new taxes or budget cuts. “The difference between being a legislator, and I was one, in that period of time, you pass a bill. When you’re mayor you have to pay the bills,” said Emanuel, a former Congressman. But Garcia said Emanuel hasn’t done enough to address crime. While crime

wavering. “He needs to send a clear signal and this does that,” Yepsen said. “One of the subtexts of this is Mark Kirk’s health. Is he up to the job? It’ll be there and he needs to address it.” Kirk, 55, did address the health question at the fundraiser. In informal remarks as attendees finished their afternoon meals, he said he once contemplated campaigning by walking across the state. Alluding to how he now often uses a wheelchair, he said, “The walk across Illinois got junked.” Speaking to reporters later, he added, “News of my political demise ... has been premature.”

tinuing recovery from a 2012 stroke that leaves him relying at times on a wheelchair or cane. “If you’re looking at running against him, that’s the take away – the depth and scope of Kirk’s support,” said Tom Cross, a former GOP leader in the Illinois House, who attended. David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, said it is “a little bit early” for an incumbent U.S. senator to be holding big fundraising events. But he said Kirk’s health has left questions whether he would run for a second term, and the event helps lay to rest any question whether he was

Judge will move ex-state legislator’s sentencing CHICAGO – A judge in Keith Farnham’s child pornography case took the rare step of moving the ex-Illinois lawmaker’s sentencing from Chicago’s federal courthouse to a venue closer to the Democrat’s suburban home. Judge Edmond Chang agreed at a Monday hearing that the former state representative’s deteriorating mental and physical health makes it difficult for him to travel from his Elgin home. So he’ll be sentenced in a state courthouse two miles from his residence. The 67-year-old faces between five and 20 years in prison for transporting child pornography. Some images were of 6-month-old children. The defense said lung disease is likely to kill Farnham within four months. But Chang wouldn’t rule on a request to let Farnham stay under house arrest after sentencing. He said he’ll decide that issue Thursday.

overall has dropped, there was a spike in homicides during part of Emanuel’s first term. Garcia accused Emanuel of focusing on benefiting companies and campaign donors. “The mayor is out of touch,” said Garcia, a former alderman and legislator better known by his nickname “Chuy.” The debate was hosted by Chicago’s WMAQTV, Telemundo and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics and Harris School of Public Policy. Emanuel has been intensely campaigning for a second term. Despite a massive fundraising advantage and an endorsement from

President Barack Obama, Emanuel was unable to capture an outright majority in last month’s election with five candidates on the ballot, leading to the April 7 runoff with Garcia. The mayor, who has a hard-charging reputation, has tried to soften his image. In a commercial he said he should listen more and admitted the day after the February election that he’d lost about six pounds while campaigning. During the debate, Emanuel didn’t counter a charge from Garcia – who’s enjoyed support from unions and minority voters – that Emanuel had once worked against immigration reform.

Millionaire faces murder charge Durst: ‘What the [heck] did I do? Killed them all’ on live microphone The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – Robert Durst couldn’t explain away similarities between his handwriting and a letter he said “only the killer could have written” that alerted police to his friend’s shooting 15 years ago. Confronted with new evidence by the makers of a documentary about his links to three killings, the troubled millionaire blinked, burped oddly, pulled his ear and briefly put his head in his hands before denying he was the killer. Then he stepped away from the tense interview and went to the bathroom, still wearing the live microphone that recorded what he said next. “There it is. You’re caught!” Durst whispered before the sound of running water is heard. “What the [heck] did I do? Killed them all, of course.” That moment didn’t just make for a captivating finale to a six-part documentary on the eccentric life of an heir to a New York real estate fortune. It also may have given police and prosecutors more evidence in the long-cold case of a mobster’s daughter. Susan Berman was felled by a bullet to the back of her head as in-

Robert Durst (far right), photographed through fencing, is escorted Monday into Orleans Parish Criminal District Court through a tunnel entrance in New Orleans. Durst waived extradition Monday and will return to Los Angeles to face a murder charge in the 15-year-old death of a writer and friend who acted as his spokeswoman. vestigators prepared to find out what she knew about the disappearance of Durst’s wife in 1982. Los Angeles prosecutors filed a first-degree murder charge Monday that alleges Durst lay in wait with a gun and killed a witness — special circumstances that could carry a death sentence if prosecutors decide later to pursue it. Durst, 71, who was arrested

at a New Orleans hotel on the eve of Sunday’s final episode, agreed Monday to face trial for the murder of Berman, who had vouched for him in public after his wife vanished. Attorney Dick DeGuerin said outside court that Durst didn’t kill Berman, and is “ready to end all the rumor and speculation and have a trial.” The makers of “The Jinx:

The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” said Durst rejected his lawyer’s advice to stay quiet before granting two lengthy interviews. They also said he knew he was being recorded throughout, and that they shared any evidence they gathered with authorities long before broadcasting the film on HBO. Legal experts said the bathroom tape could become key evidence. “Any statement that the defendant makes that they want to use against him, they can use against him,” said Andrea Roth, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “Even if it’s sketchy, and only in context appears to make him look guilty.” Kerry Lawrence, a defense attorney in Westchester County, New York, said Durst’s lawyers will have to try to explain away his comments, perhaps dismissing them as a joke. “Prosecutors would argue it was a candid moment of self-reflection, and he I assume will argue that he knew he was still being recorded, and this was either said in jest or he was being facetious or sarcastic or was being provocative,” Lawrence said. “I don’t think it’s quite the smoking gun.”

GOP mulls increase in military funds to skirt limit The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – House Republicans are considering adding tens of billions of dollars to President Barack Obama’s request for overseas military operations in an effort to get around tight limits on Pentagon spending. The move comes as Republicans are set to unveil their latest budget plan. Obama requested $51 billion for Pentagon operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, but GOP aides said Monday party leaders are weighing figures above $90 billion – enough to surpass Obama’s proposal to spend $38 billion above the limits for the budget year beginning in October. GOP defense hawks have promised not to support any budget that doesn’t at least match Obama’s $561 billion request for defense, but a 2011 budget “sequestration” law imposes a $523 billion limit on the defense budget – an automatic cut of $54 billion below previously agreed levels. War spending, however, is outside the limits and offers an easy way around the automatic cuts imposed after the failure of lawmakers to replace sequestration with alternative deficit-cutting moves. The exact figure has yet to be determined and was still the subject of debate among top House Republicans on Monday. But the move is likely to rile many conservatives who want to stick with the tight limits on spending. House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., plans to reveal his 2016 budget blueprint Tuesday. Price promises to balance the nation’s budget within a decade and rein in major programs such as food stamps and Medicare. He also promises to avoid tax increases. Senate Armed Service Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., said Monday he’d like to swap a 10-year deficit-cutting plan to reverse two years’ worth of Pentagon cuts, which total more than $100 billion over 2016-17. McCain opposes padding accounts for overseas military operations to ease cuts to the Pentagon’s core budget.

Yazan al-Jabouri (second right), a member of one of Iraq’s most prominent tribes, speaks with his colleagues at the front line during a battle against Islamic State militants in Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq. For months, al-Jubouri was living in fear of crossing paths with a fighter from the Islamic State group. He had refused to pledge loyalty to the extremist group, and letters had been left on his doorstep threatening to cut his head off. His wife and children also were threatened. “I wanted nothing to do with Daesh,” he said, using the Arabic acronym for the group. Despite the threats, he felt he had to take up arms against the extremists, many of whom are fellow Sunnis.

Sunni brigade forms unlikely alliance with Shiite militias The ASSOCIATED PRESS TIKRIT, Iraq – Dressed in green and carrying a heavy rifle, Yazan al-Jabouri paced along the front line on the fringes of the northern city of Tikrit, anxiously awaiting a plan of attack. For months, al-Jabouri lived in fear of crossing paths with a fighter from the Islamic State group. He had refused to pledge loyalty to the extremist group, and letters had been left on his doorstep threatening to cut his head off. His wife and children also were threatened. “I wanted nothing to do with Daesh,” he said, using the Arabic acronym for the group, also known as ISIS and ISIL. He said 156 homes of his kinsmen had been destroyed and 16 of his relatives had been killed. Despite the threats and the violence, he felt he had to take up arms against the extremists, many of whom are fellow Sunnis. “I can’t sit quietly while they terrorize my people,” he said. Al-Jabouri, a member of one of Iraq’s most prominent tribes, is among about 150 Sunnis fighting in a tense alliance alongside the Iraqi army and tens of thousands of Shiite militiamen to try to recapture Tikrit from the Islamic State militants. While small in number, the Sunni brigade is viewed as a crucial component against the extremists, who

captured territory mainly in Iraq’s predominantly Sunni provinces last year. They receive weapons and supplies from the Iraqi government, much of which al-Jabouri said originates from Iran, which is providing enormous support to Iraqi security forces, training, advising and equipping fighters on the battlefield. The offensive to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit began March 2. The city is one of the largest held by the Islamic State militants on the road connecting Baghdad and Mosul. Iraqi Interior Minister Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban said Monday that the campaign had halted temporarily to allow civilians in the city to evacuate and to enable troops to clear roadside bombs planted by the extremists. Sunni grievances have grown since the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam in 2003 and handed power to the long-oppressed Shiite majority. Under former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Sunnis complained of discrimination by the Shiites, saying they were neglected or exploited through corruption. Over the course of the eight-year U.S. occupation, militants from al-Qaida tried to capitalize on the Sunni grievances, and those extremists soon morphed into the organization that now calls itself the Islamic State group.

Many of the Sunni tribesmen eventually fought back. Members formed ad hoc militias known as Sahwa, or Awakening Councils. The movement was supported by Washington, which sought to empower locals entrenched in some of the insurgent group’s biggest strongholds. But commitment soon waned from the U.S. and Iraqi governments, and the movement quickly lost momentum. The extremists of Islamic State rampaged across northern and western Iraq last summer, looking to capitalize on the grievances and claimed to offer an alternative to the oppression felt by many in the Sunni heartland. Those Sunni tribesmen who remained opposed to group’s ideology – like al-Jabouri – were targeted. With the support of the U.S.-led coalition fighting the extremists, the government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has tried to empower Sunnis by establishing a national guard – a force some see as reminiscent of the failed Sahwa movement. In vast Anbar province in western Iraq, about 5,000 tribesmen are on board with government efforts to fight the IS group. The tribesmen receive arms and financial compensation. But many Sunnis have not been won over, and with tribes often numbering 30,000 to 40,000 people, the effort has a long way to go.

BRIEFS Iran confronts U.S. at talks over GOP letter LAUSANNE, Switzerland – A senior U.S. official says Iranian negotiators confronted their American counterparts about a letter from Senate Republicans warning that any nuclear agreement could expire the day President Barack Obama leaves office. The official said the letter came up in nuclear talks Sunday between senior U.S. and Iranian diplomats. It was raised again in discussions Monday led by Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The official wouldn’t characterize Iran’s position. But both Iranian and U.S. officials have criticized the letter written by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and signed by 46 fellow GOP senators. Kerry has said several times the letter undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts and falsely claims Congress can change an executive agreement. The official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and briefed reporters only on the condition of anonymity.

Our clients look to us to get them better than average results and to hedge their downside risk giving them as much of the upside as possible. Approaching retirement or already in retirement and too heavily invested in the S&P 500… then you are taking on too much risk! The S&P 500 returned 13.7% in 2014, but a diversified portfolio more than likely returned less than 5% in that year. Developed Markets fell around 4.9% and Emerging markets fell approximately 2.2%. In addition, the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index was up just under 5%. Why am I telling you this? Because a reasonable investor must know to have reasonable expectations. A balanced portfolio may only have no more than 15% allocated to large-cap stocks.

The rest is allocated among a number of different sectors and financial products purely predicated on the clients goals and tolerance for risk. For most clients, their 2014 return was nowhere near the 13.7% of the S&P. Because many Mutual Funds don’t beat their benchmarks, we happen to like a mix of “Managed-Money” in addition to Fixed Indexed Annuities and Life Insurance.

q THE BIG MOMENT

In the 57th minute, Conant’s Sidney O’Keeffe controlled a long pass down the middle of the field, split the Crystal Lake South defense and scored the game-winning goal.

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com HOFFMAN ESTATES – Trying to find a rhythm in its first game of the season, Crystal Lake South struggled to create offensive chances for large portions of Monday’s girls soccer match against Conant. One of the

chances the Gators did manufacture ended up turning against them. The Gators saw an attacking free kick turn into the winning goal at the other end in a matter of seconds as they ended up losing, 3-1, on the road to Conant. Tied 1-all in the second half, Conant goalkeeper Anderson caught the CLS free kick and punted it forward down the center of the field. Sidney O’Keeffe received the ball, split the CLS center backs and made no mistake once she was in 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper, giving the hosts a 2-1 lead in the 57th minute.

“That was just we fell asleep for a minute, basically. ... Right down there, have a chance, I think everybody just stopped focusing for that five seconds and before you know it it’s all the way down the other side and we’re just watching,” Gators coach Jay Mueller said. “That’s the kind of goal you don’t like to give up.” Leah Celarek scored in the 67th minute to make it 3-1 and seal the win for Conant (1-0) in both teams’ season opener. “I was really happy with their effort to start with,” Mueller said. “This is really the first time we’ve been on

anything really wider than a basketball court, so it takes some getting used to playing with each other and using the space that we have. I thought we worked really hard. They’re obviously a very good attacking team over there so we had some communication issues on defense, which we’re trying to work out. But, overall, I was pretty encouraged with what I saw today.” Conant’s Emily Mazurek opened the scoring in the 13th minute, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead, but the Gators (0-1) responded seven minutes later.

he custom-painted football is on display in the owner’s Houston apartment, a souvenir from one of C.J. Fiedorowicz’s four NFL catches. The ball, procured by a Houston Texans equipment manager from the Reliant Stadium stands, represents a 5-yard touchdown reception – the first of Fiedorowicz’s pro career. But the ball – painted in Texans colors and

inscribed with the numeric details of a 25-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in December – also holds a deeper meaning. It represents the perseverance that was required for Fiedorowicz, a former Johnsburg and Iowa standout, to overcome the anxiety that had set in earlier in the year. In what was, in some ways, the toughest season he ever had experienced, the ball was evidence that Fiedorowicz had endured. It hadn’t been easy. After a

The combination of his first NFL training camp and preseason, coupled with countless hours of team meetings and film study all were part of his new life. But after starting four of the Texans’ first six games, a stretch of four straight games without starting and a seven-game string when he failed to catch a pass, started to take a toll.

Packers’ roster makeup the standard for GM By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com

When Ryan Pace took the podium for the first time as the general manager of the Bears, some of the first words to come from his mouth were, “For the Bears to have sustained success, we must build through the draft.” Immediately, Pace’s vision contrasted his predecessor,

Phil Emery, who’s on record as saying his pro personnel chops were his strength, but the draft held more unchartered waters. Emery’s drafting record suggests those waters were choppy – he left the new regime Alshon Jeffery, Kyle Long and a slew of question marks from three draft classes. Then there’s Green Bay, a club Pace in his short time in

THE DAILY

Chicago repeatedly has referenced as the type of organization his Bears will try and emulate. “Honestly, I respect what Green Bay’s done,” Pace said. “I respect what Ted Thompson’s done. … They built through the draft and they are sustaining success because of that.” A fascinating statistic emerged on Twitter over the weekend that stunningly

illustrates the draft-and-develop model the Packers have fine-tuned to perfection, and the one the Bears and virtually every other rebuilding club vies to replicate. According to @PackerUpdate, of the 60 Packers under contract, only former Bear Julius Peppers has played a game for another team.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Bears sign OG Ducasse

Rowand feels likes he’s home with Sox

Adding depth to the offensive line, the Bears signed former second-round pick Vladimir Ducasse, who spent the 2014 season with the Vikings. A 6-foot-2, 325-pounder, Ducasse played in 13 games with six starts for Minnesota last season. The Haiti native has started six games at left guard, four at right guard and one as a sixth-eligible lineman in his career. The Jets selected Ducasse 61st overall in 2010. He played in only two games as a rookie before appearing in every game in each of the next three seasons, but could not develop into an established starter. In 2013, Ducasse won the starting left guard job, but then was benched in favor of then-rookie Brian Winters.

Indians’ Floyd to have elbow surgery GOODYEAR, Ariz. – The Cleveland Indians lost their gamble on Gavin Floyd.

Floyd, who missed most of last season with Atlanta with the same injury, will have the operation on Tuesday at the Cleveland Clinic.

Former Sox outfielder serving as minor-league instructor in Ariz. By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Except for the clean uniform, Aaron Rowand looks a lot like the guy who played center field on the White Sox’s World Series championship team in 2005. Heading out to the back fields at Camelback Ranch on a warm, sunny Monday, equipment bag over his shoulder, sunglasses propped on the bill of his cap, Rowand has morphed from player to coach. He could be sleeping in, playing golf and enjoying retirement – and he is, to some extent – but he is wearing Sox gray again as a minor-league instructor during spring training. “Being part of this organization, doing what I’m doing right now, it feels like you’re home,”

Rowand said before making his way to the batting cages to work with Sox prospects. A fan-favorite because of his aggressive, wall-crashing, get-dirty style of play, Rowand remembers what it was like coming up as a kid. So he enjoys being on the field and giving someAaron Rowand thing back to the game. “It’s nice being able to pass on some information to the generation coming up,” said Rowand, a first-round draft pick by the Sox in 1998. “There are a lot of good, talented kids here in camp, so it’s been fun.” An average day for Rowand, 37, features early morning meetings, time at the bat-

D’backs 6, White Sox 2 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Arizona’s Randall Delgado gave up a run for the first time this spring in another otherwise strong outing for the Diamondbacks in a 6-2 victory over the White Sox on Monday. The Sox’s Carlos Rodon settled down after control issues in the first inning. Both pitchers are making bids for a spot in their teams’ rotation. Rodon walked two and hit a batter in the first, leading to David Peralta’s two-run single. Overall, the Sox’s left-hander gave up two runs on two hits with two walks and a strikeout in three innings. ting cages, outfield, infield and baserunning fundamentals on the field, batting practice and a scrimmage. Not all former players can communicate what they’ve learned to others, but communication never was an issue for Rowand, who

was a media favorite when he played. And he thinks he learned the right way when he came up, so that helps. “I was lucky,” he said. “I had a lot of great coaches, from Gary Pettis in the outfield to Gregg Ritchie and Greg Walker on the hitting side, so it’s nice to pass on the things that I learned.” Rowand always will have name recognition and something of a love affair with the Sox’s fan base. He hit .310 with 24 home runs and 69 RBIs in 2004 and .270 with 13 homers and 69 RBIs in 2005. The Sox dealt him to the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2005 season as part of the Jim Thome trade, and he went on to play six more seasons. He played in the World Series with the San Francisco Giants in 2010. The Sox always will be special to him, though.

Georgia State’s Hunter will be coaching hurt ATLANTA – Coaching can be a painful business. Just ask Georgia State’s Ron Hunter. His team is heading to the NCAA tournament, but Hunter’s got to figure out a way to coach the Panthers with his left leg in a cast after a freak injury at the end of their victory in the Sun Belt Conference championship game Sunday. One of the country’s most animated coaches, Hunter leaped off the bench when Georgia Southern’s final shot – a potential game-winning 3-pointer – bounced off the rim. He then felt a sharp pain running through his left leg, “like someone had shot me in the back of the leg.” His Achilles tendon was torn.

He attended SoxFest for the second time in three years this winter and had a blast hanging out with former teammates. “This is a family,” he said. “This organization is family, so it’s easy to reconnect here. All the guys that were here when I was coming up, most of them are still here.” Rowand’s not quite ready for full-time work in baseball, but he said it’s something he might consider down the road. “I might get back into coaching later on, but right now I have my 10- and 13-yearold children at home (in California),” he said. “I’m trying to catch up with them for lost time when they were younger in their childhood, so I’m being a dad right now (and) helping out here when I can. “Maybe later on I’ll get back into it. I enjoy helping these kids trying to make it to the big leagues.”

Third baseman Kris Bryant signs autographs for Cubs fans before Monday’s spring training game against against the San Diego Padres in Peoria, Ariz. The Cubs lost, 7-0.

Bryant says he can catch on in outfield Third baseman happy to get in work in outfield By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com PEORIA, Ariz. – Before there was Bryant Watch 2015, the eyes of Cubs faithful spent the final three weeks of last year’s spring training fixed on Javy Baez. So the second baseman, more than most, can appreciate what Bryant has been able to do in this year’s audition – which includes leading all of baseball with six home runs and, sandwiched between two strikeouts Monday, whacking an opposite-field double that hit the middle of the wall on the fly. “He’s just trying to let everybody know that he’s here and he’s coming up,” Baez said. “And he’s trying to find out the way to get there.” The question is more when than if – the Cubs still figure to let him spend the first few weeks in the mi-

nors, at least, to keep a year of service time. As for the where: Bryant served as the team’s designated hitter Monday and will again Tuesday. The “soft plan,” manager Joe Maddon said Monday, was for him to return to third base Thursday. Bryant threw off to the side at 90 feet Monday as he manages a tired right throwing shoulder that cost him starts in the field the past three days. “I’m really just taking it slow,” Bryant said Monday. “No need to kill myself in spring training. I’d love to be back out on the field playing third base, but I’m really taking it kinda slow. Just normal fatigue. I’ll be fine.” Bryant was happy to stay sharp as the DH, saying at-bats against bigleague pitching were valuable this time of year. After striking out on three pitches against Padres pitcher Brandon Morrow, who is fighting for the team’s fifth starter job, he tagged him for a fourth-inning double. Caution with Bryant’s shoulder would figure to slow down any plan to play him in the outfield, something Maddon detailed a day ear-

lier. Bryant said he had “no clue” about when he might start taking fly balls, “but I’ll do whatever they tell me.” He didn’t sound too concerned about the outfield work, which would be in the name of versatility and by no means a permanent move off third base. “Yeah, I’m excited,” he said. “I’m a baseball player. So as long as I’m on the field playing, catching the ball, running down some fly balls, it’ll be fun. “I played some outfield before in college. It was fun. I’m looking forward to another challenge.” Although he played some outfield at the University of San Diego, Bryant has stuck to third base since the Cubs drafted him second overall in 2013. “I haven’t really been an outfielder my whole life, but I think it’s a position I can get used to pretty quick,” Bryant said. “There’s a lot of plays at third base – bunt (defense), firstto-third defenses. In the outfield, you really have to worry about getting a good jump on the ball and hitting your cut-off man. “I think I can catch on pretty quick.”

PEORIA, Ariz. – By the time Cubs manager Joe Maddon finished calling right-hander James Shields “brave” and “courageous,” saying his work ethic was “spectacular,” it was hard not to wonder, “What if?” What if Shields, who chose the San Diego Padres over the Cubs when he signed a four-year, $75 million deal last month, had decided to team up with new Cubs ace Jon Lester? “Messing with [Shields] right now would be kind of fun,” Maddon said before the Cubs’ 7-0 loss Monday to the Padres. “But we’re not, so we wish him and his family the best.” Jon Lester Maddon, who managed Shields when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays, painted a picture of a man who taught his teammates how to work, even as a young pitcher. “He’s all of that,” Maddon said. “It’s not just talk. He’s all of that.” The same can be said of Lester, who signed a six-year, $155 million contract with the Cubs to be both a workhorse and an example to his young teammates. That was clear even after his first bad outing of the spring. Lester allowed six runs and seven hits, including home runs to Matt Kemp and Tommy Medica, in three innings. Afterward, Lester didn’t offer up the usual spring-training platitudes. He didn’t make excuses, even though he was working with catcher Welington Castillo for only the second time. “I’m the one chucking the ball,” Lester said. “He’s not.” Lester didn’t seem to care, either, that Opening Night was still 20 days away. “It’s spring training,” Lester said. “I hate saying that.” He said he was happy he could work on aspects pinpointed by pitching coach Chris Bosio. “I don’t want to go out and get my butt kicked,” Lester said. “So regardless of what you’re working on, regardless of the time of year, you still want to have good results.” Lester had thrown five scoreless innings, allowing only four hits and no walks, in his first two spring starts, but that was of no comfort. “It doesn’t matter if it’s now or in October, I’m still taking the same mindset,” he said. “I’m still trying to win and succeed and have good results. So I don’t need starts like this to fire me up or focus me.”

Bears last in NFC North in terms of retaining players drafted from ’07 to ’11 • BEARS Continued from page C1 For all of the Bears fans pining for their new GM to pick up the pace in free agency while Packers football czar Ted Thompson probably was on vacation somewhere during the first week of money spending mayhem, let that sink in for a moment. If you need more context, consider this: No fewer than 20 of the 56 Bears under contract have played for at least

one other NFL club. Within the division, the Bears are a distant fourth in terms of retaining players drafted from 2007 to 2011 with only one (Matt Forte), while the Packers have 10, the Vikings eight and the Lions four. All GMs want to build a team through the draft, and it helps that it’s a solution that is cheaper than free agency. Over the weekend, the Rams signed away one of the Lions’ former first-rounders, Nick Fairley, increasing the total number of first-rounders

on St. Louis’ defensive line alone to five – the same number the Bears have on their entire roster after signing Antrel Rolle. In addition to Rolle, Jay Cutler was someone else’s pick, and another of the Bears’ first-rounders, Shea McClellin, faces an uphill battle toward earning a spot on Pace and John Fox’s 53 for 2015. Now, briefly getting back to Thompson’s Packers – who are tied with the Super Bowl champion Patriots for most consecutive postseason appearances with five – they

probably aren’t playing in the NFC Championship game last year without Peppers, arguably Green Bay’s most disruptive defender and a smashing free-agent success regardless of how rare it might’ve been for Thompson. Letroy Guion, it should be mentioned, was their other pro personnel acquisition last year, and was an instrumental cog up front that likely already would be under contract with the green and gold if not for his offseason legal problems. Similarly, the Lions don’t

win 10 games without Golden Tate and James Ihedigbo, and the ascending Vikings best receiver and interior penetrator aren’t homegrown, either. Free agency is a valuable, and necessary, tool. Heck, after this unforgettable offseason, who’s to say trading in the NFL won’t soon be another vital team-building mechanism. But before fans get up in arms over the Bears’ perceived lack of activity since one swing for the fences (McPhee) and a pair of patchup jobs (Royal and Rolle),

remember that this is the time of year for supplementing draft success, not attempting to correct years of egregious mistakes in the draft with a spending bonanza. From Lovie Smith’s Buccaneers in 2014 to Andy Reid’s “dream team” Eagles three seasons earlier, the NFL is littered with cautionary tales whose message is resounding: The bulk of foundation that must be laid to consistently compete for Super Bowls comes in April and May – not in early March.

BULLS

PREP ROUNDUP

Players blocking out Thibs rumors

Dionne fans 14 in victory

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com Taj Gibson knows there will come a time when he will have to deal with rumors surrounding coach Tom Thibodeau. After all, no one speaks as highly of Thibodeau as Gibson, who often begins sentences with “Like Thibs always says … ” But being able to recite from “The Book of Thibs” doesn’t mean the injured big man will dwell on his coach’s future. Not with 14 games left in the regular season and so much on the line. “I can’t think about stuff like that,” Gibson said Sunday when asked if he believed a breakup was coming between the coach and front Tom Thibodeau office after the season. “I’ve got to think about things that I can do. By helping the team, play strong defense, help getting us wins, and the rest takes care of itself.” That’s the mentality Thibodeau would want his players to have. But that doesn’t mean the players have been insulated from what has gone on this season. On the contrary. The cold war between Thibodeau and the front office is more than well-documented. “It would have been nice if things were different, especially with all the expectations this season,” a veteran player said last week when the Bulls were in Philadelphia. “It just feels like there isn’t a whole lot of support for [Thibodeau].” Gibson was asked if it bothered the players to hear all the rumors. “There’s a part that is, but you also know this is the NBA,” he said. “Guys in media

start different things, start rumors every time. It’s just like trade rumors. It’s all a part of the NBA.” At least Thibodeau and general manager Gar Forman have been on speaking terms. Forman has been seen talking with Thibodeau at the Advocate Center and going in and out of his office before games. But they won’t be having dinner together anytime soon. Although there are more than a handful of issues between the two sides, the biggest continues to be how to pace the team. The front office has stated since the first day of training camp that the main goal was keeping the players healthy entering the playoffs. That meant minutes restrictions for some, such as Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, while others would be excused from practice drills that were considered hard on the body. It hasn’t worked out. The Bulls have been as injured as any team during Thibodeau’s tenure, and because of the handcuffs in practice, the chemistry Thibodeau’s teams usually develop has yet to appear. Meanwhile, Thibodeau has played the situation perfectly, adhering to every demand, coloring in the lines and letting the standings and body count in the training room speak for itself. The hope now is that help is coming soon. Gibson (left ankle) said he has started playing one-onone, pushing the ankle, while Jimmy Butler (left elbow) and Derrick Rose (right knee) are on schedule, according to Thibodeau. “You find yourself asking if you were playing, could you be a difference-maker on at least one or two plays?” Gibson said. “So that’s frustrating.”

Veronica Ruelius went 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs for the Indians (1-0). Marengo scored four runs in the third inning of the nonconference game. Leah Secor, Jessica Turner and Rebecca Schultz all had two hits, including a double each, and Secor and Turner both added an RBI.

on for the win. Emily Webber was 3 for 4 with an RBI and Kasandra Clauss (1-0) pitched seven innings, giving up five hits, three earned runs and striking out eight for the win. Taeya Beard was 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI for the Thunder (0-1).

By CAROLYN THOMPSON The Associated Press LANCASTER, N.Y. – A western New York school district will do away with its Redskins mascot and nickname after other districts in the region turned up the pressure by boycotting games because of it. The Lancaster Central School Board voted to retire the longtime symbol Monday during a special session called after three districts with sizeable numbers of Native American students canceled lacrosse matches. The term Redskins is considered by many to be a racial slur against Native Americans. Although supporters of the nickname said it was a source of pride and never meant to offend, a resolution by Superintendent Michael Vallely said it has become a “symbol of ethnic stereotyping” and that keeping it could subject students to retaliation. The unanimous vote was

shouted down by Redskins supporters, many of whom wore past and present school uniforms and jackets with the Redskins logo. “All of these years we’ve never used it in a negative way,” Lancaster High School senior Emily Koeppel said after the meeting. “It was never meant to be hurtful.” Numerous high schools and universities throughout the country have dropped the term in recent years and several Native American groups have begun a “Change the Mascot” campaign to press the NFL to remove it from the Washington, D.C., franchise. “There is no pride in having schools boycott playing our sports teams,” board member Kimberly Nowak said. “There is no pride in winning by forfeit.” The lacrosse boycotts by the Akron, Lake Shore and Niagara Wheatfield districts in western New York followed a March 3 public forum in Lancaster that drew more than 100 people from

both sides of the issue. Several students said they would continue to wear their Redskins apparel and call themselves Redskins despite the vote by the board to begin a “student-centered” process to develop a new mascot. “This is our school. We are Redskins,” student Torie Dombrowski said. The school has been leaving the Redskins name off new uniform orders for the past three to four years, and a new football field scoreboard also is without the mascot, but district leaders had said they would take their time before deciding whether to do away with it altogether. The boycotts and other pressure from the community hastened the decision, board members said. A spokesman for the Oneida Indian Nation of central New York, which is involved in the NFL campaign, said districts that have replaced their mascots, including neighboring Cooperstown, have not seen a decline in school spirit.

• GATORS Continued from page C1 Jessica Schoenfeldt found Taylor Mraz slipping into the penalty area on the left side. The senior’s low shot was stopped partially, but it snuck under the Conant goalkeeper and trickled into the goal. “I think we’ve been working really well together. This is our first time being on a field and we have a lot of new girls, but I think we jelled really quickly,” Mraz said. “We just made the passes and looked for each other and communicated and it ended up in the back of the net.” Gators goalkeeper Jaclyn Przybylski made 11 saves in the loss.

Fiedorowicz never calls his job ‘work’ end since Houston had drafted him in the third round, the anguish that accompanied portions of his rookie season had subsided. So when Fiedorowicz hauled in a 5-yard touchdown pass from running back Arian Foster – the first Texans touchdown pass thrown by a nonquarterback since 2002 – the 6-foot-5, 265-pound rookie drove the ball into the ground with all of the force he could muster. The ball bounced off the turf and propelled into the stands, separating Fiedorowicz from the keepsake – if only temporarily. But for Fiedorowicz, everything came together in that one moment. Even now, he struggles to put the catch into words. The spike is a different story. “That was all my excitement, anger and everything else mixed together,” Fiedorowicz said. “I just put it all into that spike.” Fiedorowicz will return to Houston in April, when the Texans resume mandatory workouts and meetings. He has spent much of the offseason traveling, having just returned from a getaway to Costa Rica. The time away and back in Johnsburg has not only provided a time to reconnect with those closest to him, it has provided distance from the grind of his first NFL season. As difficult as it was to push through, Fiedorowicz knows he is better for having gone through it. As much as his first touchdown catch means to him, what it took to get to that point will be what propels him into Year 2, armed with the knowledge attained from a year full of lessons. “I know it can’t get any worse than it was last year,” Fiedorowicz said. “This offseason was huge as far as getting away from football, seeing family, seeing friends, getting to travel. I think I’m just going to be that much more excited to get back to it next year.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES

As Harvick soars, it’s unclear who can stop the champion CHARLOTTE, N.C. – To the surprise of none, Kevin Harvick won at Phoenix. Now in a zone not seen in NASCAR in several years, Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers head to California amid a looming question: Can anyone stop the No. 4 team? The only way Harvick was going to lose at Phoenix was if he or his Stewart-Haas Racing team made some sort of mistake that would derail the inevitable. It didn’t happen, and he routed the field Sunday while grabbing his fourth consecutive win at the Arizona short track. It’s part of a streak that dates to last season, when Harvick grabbed his first Sprint Cup championship. He’s won five of the past 10 races, two straight this season, and has seven consecutive top-two finishes. His streak of top-two finishes is the longest since Hall of Famer Richard Petty did it during his 1975 championship season. So now the No. 4 teams heads to California looking to sweep this three-race West Coast swing. It’s left his competitors awestruck at the chemistry that team has created in just more than one year. Harvick moved from Richard Childress Racing to SHR after the 2013 season, and he and Childers sent a message to the entire garage area that December in their first test together when they were headand-shoulders better than the rest of the field. “I remember the days when Jeff Gordon won 13 races in a year. I remember watching every week, it was incredible,” said Jamie McMurray, runner-up to Harvick at Phoenix. “I think our sport is much tougher now to do that. I remember when the 4 car unloaded at the Charlotte test last year, first lap on the track he was literally the fastest car. For a year it’s been that way.” There have been other streaks in recent memory that rival Harvick: Tony Stewart won five of 10 Chase races in 2011; Jimmie Johnson won four straight Chase races in 2007, a run that rivaled his four wins in five races in 2004, when he fell eight points shy of his first title; and Gordon in 1998, when he won 13 times and finished first or second in 15 of the final 19 events. So drivers do indeed cycle to the top of the Sprint Cup Series, and only Johnson, with five consecutive titles, has been able to maintain his grip as the best in NASCAR for any considerable length of time. But until SHR shifts into R&D mode to prepare Harvick for the season-ending 10-race

Kevin Harvick poses with his wife, DeLana (left), and son, Keelan, after winning MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in Avondale, Ariz. The victory was his 5:30 p.m.: NCAA Tournament, Hampton vs. Manhattan, fourth straight at the Arizona short track and fifth in the series’ past 10 races at Dayton, Ohio, TRUTV 6 p.m.: NIT, first round, George Washington at Pittsdating to last season.

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer Chase for the championship, there’s no indication he can be stopped anytime soon. If there was going to be a serious challenge, however, it likely would come from one of these drivers: Joey Logano: The Daytona 500 winner so far this season is the only driver able to keep pace with Harvick. He has top-10 finishes in all four races and has started on the front row three times. He knew it was going to be tough to keep up with Harvick at Phoenix, where he led 35 laps but finished eighth. He’s pretty good at California – remember, he was racing for the win against Denny Hamlin in 2013 when their accident left Hamlin with a broken back – and Team Penske is thought to have the best setups for grip in the garage. Brad Keselowski: The 2012 NASCAR champion was neck and neck with Harvick last year, and might have given Harvick a run for the title had he qualified for the championship round. His team has not shown the same muscle yet this season as Penske teammate Logano, but the No. 2 does not appear to be that far off. Add in Keselowski’s relentless drive, and it’s hard to believe he won’t push the entire Penske organization to close the gap on Harvick. Jeff Gordon: The four-time NASCAR champion is coming off one of his finest seasons in several years, and many believe he would have won the championship if he had not been eliminated from

contention with Harvick’s win in November at Phoenix. Set to retire at the end of the season, he’s made it clear he wants to go out on top. Although his results haven’t come yet through the first month of the season, he can’t be counted out. Plus, his Hendrick Motorsports team uses the same chassis and engine package that Harvick gets at SHR. Jimmie Johnson: Never count out the six-time champion or his crew chief Chad Knaus, who many believe are the model for Harvick and Childers. Johnson is regarded as the most balanced, all-around driver in the field; like Gordon has the same chassis ad engine package as Harvick; and already has a win this season. That victory at Atlanta gives Knaus breathing room and time to make a plan for the Chase. The No. 48 team can take risks and have some fun the next few months, then turn attention to preparing for the final 10. Kyle Busch: Obviously, Busch won’t stop Harvick this year. He’s sidelined with a broken right leg and broken left foot suffered in a Feb. 21 crash at Daytona. But, if he were in the car, he’d be one of the guys to eventually challenge Harvick. Regarded as one of the fastest drivers in the field, Busch also is one of the only drivers who consistently has beaten Harvick in Xfinity Series competition over the years. NASCAR’s 2015 rules have given the Cup cars an engine and aero package that is more similar to the Xfinity Series, which would give Busch a comfortable feel that could play to his advantage.

mpotash@suntimes.com To Blackhawks winger Kris Versteeg, it’s pretty simple. “I guess when you play like [expletive], you’re not going to play,” he said. Tis the season for coach Joel Quenneville to send messages, as winger Brandon Saad learned last March and winger Bryan Bickell learned last week. The healthy scratch is Quenneville’s go-to move to get a struggling player going, and he wields it liberally at this time of year. Quenneville’s latest target appears to be Versteeg, although he didn’t definitively rule him out of the Hawks’ Kris Versteeg g a m e T u e s day against the New York Islanders. But winger Patrick Sharp, who scored two goals Saturday against the San Jose Sharks and has been buzzing around the net lately, was in Versteeg’s spot on the top line alongside Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa in practice Monday. “Sharpie deserved a chance to move up, and we’re just looking for some more [from Versteeg],” Quenneville said. “His last game wasn’t very good.” Sharp was on the receiving end of one of Quenneville’s messages earlier this season. Although he never was benched, he saw his ice time drop in February while playing mostly on the third and fourth lines. But with Sharp emerging from his lengthy slump, Quenneville is reuniting what was arguably the top line in the NHL last season. With three skilled, two-way players, the trio can shut down opponents’ top lines while still being productive. “Three guys who can all make plays and score goals,” Quenneville said. “I’m sure they’re excited about the opportunity of making it work together.” Versteeg has been one of the Hawks’ most consistent performers this season, but his play has dropped off since linemate Patrick Kane’s injury Feb. 24. In the seven games since, Versteeg has no goals and one assist. In his past six games, he has had only four shots on goal. Versteeg always has had a tendency to hold on to the puck and look for the high-risk, high-reward play. With Kane on the other wing, it can lead to some highlight-reel goals. But with goals at a premium at this time of year, Quenneville said he wants to see Versteeg be more direct with the puck. “He’s got the ability to make plays, delays,” Quenneville said. “[But] if it’s a slowdown tactic with the checking schemes, now all of a sudden you’ve got five guys back and then we lose pucks. … There are times [when holding on to the puck is appropriate]. But off the rush, we don’t want to get the guys who are behind you to catch up. We want to be attacking them.” Quenneville downplayed his tendency to send messages at this time of year, saying simply, “You’re going to get what you deserve.” So how quickly Versteeg gets the message will determine if and when he gets back in the lineup. “I’m not going to change anything,” Versteeg said. “I’m just going to keep playing the same way. You want to work hard and be a positive influence. If you’re not, you don’t have the right to be in the lineup. Just keep working hard, and, hopefully, get back in.”

NATIONAL SEMIFINALS Saturday, April 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Monday, April 6

EAST REGION

WEST REGION

SOUTH REGION

MIDWEST REGION

Top seed: The Villanova Wildcats (32-2) have won 15 games in a row heading into their East Regional opener against Lafayette (20-12) on Thursday in Pittsburgh. Villanova is a No. 1 seed for the second time in program history. Other team to watch: Virginia, the No. 1 seed in the East last season, is No. 2 this year and opens against No. 15 Belmont. Virginia won the ACC regular season crown for the second straight year and had the inside track for a top seed in the tournament until it lost to North Carolina in the semifinal. Intriguing matchups: Northern Iowa vs. No. 12 Wyoming; No. 6 Providence vs. the winner of Boise State-Dayton; No. 3 Oklahoma and Big 12 player of the year Buddy Hield take on No. 14 Albany; and No. 7 Michigan St. vs. No. 10 Georgia. Play-in game: Boise State (25-8) vs. Dayton (25-8), Wednesday, 9:10 p.m. EDT

Top seed: Regardless of their seeding, the Wisconsin Badgers (31-3) have a hard road back to the Final Four in what may be the toughest region in the NCAA Tournament. Joining Wisconsin in the West is a gauntlet of tough teams: Arizona, Baylor, North Carolina and Arkansas. The middle seeds will likely be tough outs, too, including Xavier, VCU, Oregon and Oklahoma State. Other team to watch: Arizona (31-3) won the Pac-12 regular-season title and dominated Oregon in the tournament championship game. Intriguing matchup: Harvard is becoming a regular in the NCAA Tournament. Nothing like North Carolina coach Roy Williams, though. Williams is making his 21st straight NCAA Tournament appearance with his Tar Heels earning the fourth seed. Play-in game: BYU (25-9) vs. Mississippi (20-12), Tuesday, 9:10 p.m. EDT

Top seed: The Duke Blue Devils (29-4) are the top seed, marking the first time in program history that they received a No. 1 NCAA seed without winning either an ACC regular-season or tournament championship, according to STATS. Other team to watch: Gonzaga’s strength is its strong offense led by Kentucky-transfer Kyle Wiltjer (16.7 points). The Zags shot a national-best 52.4 percent and are in their 17th straight NCAA Tournament appearance, but they haven’t survived the opening weekend of the tournament since reaching the round of 16 in 2009. Intriguing matchup: No. 6 SMU vs. No. 11 UCLA. Larry Brown is back. The coach who led Kansas to the 1988 national title has guided SMU to the No. 6 seed. Play-in game: North Florida (23-11) vs. Robert Morris (19-14), Wednesday, 6:40 p.m. EDT

Top seed: With the Kentucky Wildcats (34-0) now trying to become the first undefeated national champion since Indiana in 1976, there is already some similarity to their 2012 title — and the potential of another NCAA Tournament game against the Kansas Jayhawks. Other team to watch: Kansas (26-8), which won its latest Big 12 regular-season title before losing to Iowa State in the conference tournament final, plays New Mexico State (23-10) on Friday in Omaha, Neb. Intriguing matchup: Maryland (27-6), which had a school-record 26 wins in the regular season after being picked near the bottom of the Big Ten in the preseason, is the No. 4 seed and takes on Valparaiso (28-5). It is the Terrapins’ first NCAA trip in coach Mark Turgeon’s four seasons. Play-in game: Hampton (16-17) vs. Manhattan (19-13), Tuesday, 6:40 p.m. EDT

INFORMATION AND STATISTICS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Names, teams and matchups to watch By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press March Madness can feel a bit like sensory overload. Games are happening at sites all over the country, often several at a time, and keeping track of everything can be nearly impossible. Fear not. Here is your NCAA tournament primer, a look at the movers, shakers and potential noisemakers as the college basketball season heads down the home stretch. The big boys: The tournament’s top seeds never really were in question, especially after Wisconsin took care of Michigan State in the Big Ten tourney title game Sunday. The biggest of the big boys is overall No. 1 seed Kentucky, which is trying to become the first team since Indiana in 1976 to cap a perfect season with a national title. The Wildcats open against Hampton or Manhattan, then would face the winner of Cincinnati-Purdue. But the road to 40-0 won’t be easy – Notre Dame and Kansas are among the schools in the Midwest Region.

Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky celebrates in the second half of the Big Ten Conference tournament championship game Sunday at the United Center. Wisconsin defeated Michigan State, 80-69, in overtime. “Regardless if we were perfect or not, it’s still we’re only guaranteed one game,” Kentucky forward Willie Cauley-Stein said. “So it’s really the slate is clean, whether we’re 34-0 or got five losses. From here on out, you’re 0-0.” The Badgers earned the top seed in the West, opening against Coastal Carolina in

a region that includes No. 2 seed Arizona. Villanova is tops in the East, and Duke tops in the South. Star power: Sure, there’s no superstar like Andrew Wiggins this season. But that hardly means this year’s dance is devoid of big-time scorers and dynamic defenders. Kentucky has a handful of

players who could be headed to the NBA, and the Blue Devils’ Jahlil Okafor is the potential No. 1 pick. Jerian Grant of Notre Dame proved seniors still can make headlines in an era of one-and-done prospects, and many believe Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky deserves the national player of the year award. “We have a lot of goals and aspirations in the NCAA tournament,” said Kaminsky, who helped the Badgers to the Final Four a year ago, “so we’re going to prepare for our first game and be ready when we tip the ball up and get ready to go.” Cinderella watch: These days, with thousands of games televised every season, there are few secrets in college basketball by the time March rolls around. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few players who are envisioning their own Bryce Drew moment, or a few teams that can put together an inspired run like George Mason or Butler of years past. Want some off-the-radar players to watch? Try someone from Drew’s own team, Valparaiso, such as 6-foot-10 Ja-

maican center Vashil Fernandez or high-scoring forward Alex Peters. Tyler Harvey of Eastern Washington led the nation in scoring, while Stephen F. Austin’s Jacob Parker is one of the best 3-point shooters in the country. How about a couple of teams that could make a run? Duke icon Bobby Hurley has coached Buffalo to a No. 12 seed opposite West Virginia in the Midwest region, and everyone knows the history of the 12-5 upset. Harvard, the No. 13 seed in the West, has been to four straight NCAAs and could make fourth-seeded North Carolina a tad uncomfortable. Intriguing matchup: The selection committee lined up several interesting matchups early in the tournament – coaches facing former teams, in-state rivals harboring plenty of hatred. Take sixth-seeded SMU against No. 11 seed UCLA in the South. Mustangs coach Larry Brown is back in the tournament for the first time since guiding Kansas to the 1988 title, and his opener is against the team he led to the 1980 finals – a runner-up finish later vacated.

Actor Emile Hirsch (center) leaves court Monday in Park City, Utah. Hirsch made his first court appearance after being charged with assault after allegedly putting a studio executive in a chokehold and dragging her across a nightclub table while he was in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.

Actor Emile Hirsch appears in Utah court on assault charge PARK CITY, Utah – Actor Emile Hirsch made his first court appearance Monday on allegations that he put a studio executive in a chokehold and dragged her across a nightclub table while in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. The “Into the Wild” star declined to comment Monday outside court in Park City. His attorney Neil Kaplan said Hirsch is receiving counseling after going to rehab. The actor from Encino, California, is charged with felony assault, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He also faces a misdemeanor count of intoxication. Hirsch, who turned 30 on Friday, was clean-shaven and wore a tight-fitting black suit with a white shirt and black tie. He stared straight ahead as he walked through a small gaggle of reporters, photographers and onlookers at the courthouse. He was flanked by two attorneys and a friend. After his brief appearance before state Judge Kara Petitt, Hirsch was instructed to walk next door to the sheriff’s office to get his mug shot taken. He isn’t required to be at the next hearing, set for April 13.

Betty White to get Daytime Emmy lifetime achievement award NEW YORK – Showbiz sweetheart Betty White is about to get another dose of love, this time from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The 93-year-old will be honored with this year’s lifetime achievement award next month at the 42nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards. In the 1960s, White was a frequent contestant on “Password,” where she met and subsequently wed its host, Allen Ludden. She also appeared on “The Match Game” and “The $25,000 Pyramid.” She was the first woman to receive an Emmy Award for outstanding game-show host for the show “Just Men.” And she had a recurring role on “The Bold and the Beautiful” from 2006 to 2009.

Previous honorees include Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters and Regis Philbin. The Daytime Emmys will air April 26 on the Pop network.

No reservation for Jessica Lange in next ‘American Horror Story’ LOS ANGELES – Jessica Lange is passing up a “Hotel” stay. The Emmy-winning star of the first four seasons of “American Horror Story” announced Sunday she would not be returning for the fifth in the FX anthology series, which will be subtitled “Hotel.” Committing to each season “is a huge investment,” Lange said on the arrivals line of the PaleyFest tribute to the fourth “Horror Story” entry, “Freak Show.” Continued Lange, “I’ve done four great characters. It’s enough.” “American Horror Story: Hotel” is set to premiere in October.

BBC launches investigation into host Jeremy Clarkson fracas LONDON – The BBC has launched an investigation into “Top Gear” host Jeremy Clarkson’s alleged “fracas” with a producer, trying to establish the facts of the incident before deciding its next move. The popular TV presenter has been suspended pending an investigation into whether he punched a producer during a dispute over a meal. The BBC on Monday said the investigation, led by BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie, would establish the facts and that “people should wait for the outcome of that.”

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Follow through with the ideas and plans that you’ve been mulling over. Your instincts are good, and although there may be a few minor lingering issues in your personal life, it would be a mistake to let them impede your professional progress. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will face problems with authority figures if you haven’t been playing by the rules. Diligently keeping all of your documents in order will relieve some pressure. Do what’s right. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stay on top of your workload. Someone from your past will help you remember your youthful and carefree self and the goals you aspired to. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Making promises you can’t keep will not lead to popularity. Overindulgence and extravagance will concern your peers. Get back on track before matters escalate and complaints are lodged. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Enroll in seminars, courses or groups that will stimulate your intellect and increase your skills. The information you learn and the friends you make will serve you well, both personally and professionally. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Expect headaches if you have overspent or been careless. Pare down your standard of living in order to free up cash for unexpected expenses. Put safety and responsibility first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Passion and romance will figure prominently today. A special liaison with a loved one will strengthen your bond and be a source of pleasure and additional security. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Resolve to take on a new challenge. Sticking to the same routine will lead to boredom and dissatisfaction. Choose an activity, pastime or hobby that interests you, and take the plunge. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Move forward with personal changes that promise to improve your status and outlook. Taking a leadership role will increase your confidence and lead to new opportunities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are in need of some down time. Struggles on the job or at home will take a toll on your health. Avoid group activities for now and treat yourself to some pampering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Look for individuals who are in a position to help you reach your goals. Present your ideas and listen to the advice that’s offered. A reunion will bring about a prosperous encounter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t wait for someone to do things for you. You know what needs to be done and how to do it, so get moving. Being proactive will help you advance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Others may expect you to act on their behalf. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Make it known in no uncertain terms that your own tasks take top priority.

ADVICE 7

2-1-1 is number to dial to Treat stress fractures quickly find community services to prevent further damage Dear Abby: We are writing in response to the question you printed (Jan. 13) about where to find affordable counseling. Your suggestions were helpful, but we want to share another one: 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember telephone number that, where available, connects people to information about critical, free or low-cost health and human services in their community. 2-1-1 reaches about 270 million people (90 percent of the U.S. population), covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Canada. It is a free, confidential resource. Similar to dialing 9-1-1 for emergencies, calling 2-1-1 helps people seeking training, employment, food pantries, shelter, assistance for aging parents, addiction prevention programs for teens, affordable housing options and support groups. It provides a one-stop service for community referrals. Abby, won’t you share this information with your readers? Everyone knows someone who needs help. 2-1-1 is there for them. – Staff

Of 2-1-1, Orange County, California

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Staff: I’m pleased to pass along this important resource, which serves such a large portion of the population. Thank you for taking the time to offer it to my readers. Dear Abby: I am 28 and engaged to marry a wonderful man, “Ryan.” Before I met him, I was involved in an affair with my married boss and was deeply in love with him. (I still am.) We continued our affair even after I met Ryan, and now I think I’m pregnant. I told my boss and, naturally, he’s not happy about it. I don’t know how to tell Ryan or if I even want to. I have always wanted to be a mother, and now I have the chance. But I may end up doing it alone in poor financial shape. I also won’t have a home to live in once my old-fashioned mother finds out I’ve gotten myself pregnant before marriage. Any advice? – Scared Stupid

In New Jersey Dear Scared Stupid: Yes.

Take a pregnancy test to determine if you really are pregnant. If it turns out that you are, then you must tell your fiancé everything. Even if Ryan walks away, the baby’s father will be legally responsible for child support. It is important that you also tell your mother what’s going on. She may not be thrilled to hear the news, but I doubt she will put you and her grandchild-to-be out on the street. A generation or two ago that might have happened, but no longer. Dear Abby: I know if a girl breaks off the engagement, she’s supposed to return the ring to her ex-fiancé. Does the situation of a wife filing for divorce fall under the same set of rules? I need a response soon. – Craig In

Houston Dear Craig: No. If the rings were given with the promise of marriage and the promise was fulfilled, she is not expected to return them. To My Irish Readers: A very happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all. – Love, Abby • Write Dear Abby at www.

Dear Dr. K: What is a stress fracture?

Dear Reader: A patient of mine once asked me the same question, but with a twist: “In the emergency room they said I had a stress fracture. That’s ridiculous, right? I mean, they’re blaming stress for causing nearly every symptom these days. But how can stress cause a bone to break?” It’s not emotional or mental “stress” the word refers to in a stress fracture. It is stress – unusual physical pressure – placed on a bone that causes it to break. And the break typically does not separate the two ends of the bone. The X-ray, CT scan or MRI scan often shows no abnormality in the shape of the bone. Instead, there is a hairline crack inside the bone. In young people, stress fractures can result from overexertion or prolonged high-impact exercise, such as running or tennis. But they also occur in middle-aged or elderly people, especially women, with thinning bones. These people may develop stress fractures even as a result of normal daily activities, such as walking. In the feet, stress fractures most often occur in the metatarsal bones, the long bones

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff leading to the toes. But they also can occur in other parts of the body. All fractures, including stress fractures, require immediate attention. An untreated fracture might not heal properly and could result in deformity, persistent pain or both. One warning sign of a stress fracture is difficulty walking. Don’t be fooled, however. It’s sometimes possible to walk on a broken foot. Check to see whether you have any pain or tenderness directly over the bone when you touch it lightly. Such focal pain may indicate a fracture, especially if it continues after you’ve rested briefly and followed the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) regimen. Other symptoms of a stress fracture include bruising and possible redness and swelling. Whatever you do, don’t continue exercising if you have localized pain over a bone. You might break it completely. If you suspect you have a

stress fracture, see your doctor. He or she may start by ordering an X-ray. However, it can take two weeks for evidence of a stress fracture to appear on an X-ray, and some stress fractures never show up on one. Your doctor may have to diagnose the condition by feeling the area, or ordering other imaging tests such as a bone scan or an MRI. If you do have a stress fracture, your doctor will probably recommend rest. He or she also will likely prescribe some type of immobilizing device, such as a special hard-soled shoe or a fracture boot. Typically, stress fractures heal within four to six weeks. The best way to prevent a stress fracture is to avoid sudden increases in activity or exercise. Instead, build up your exercise regimen gradually. Wear well-cushioned shoes to reduce the impact on your feet. Warm up before you exercise. Limber muscles allow better joint motion and flexibility, which in turn help cushion the impact on your bones. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Younger teens can earn spending money by doing chores Dr. Wallace: I’m 13, and I never have any money for anything. I’m too young to earn any money, and my parents refuse to give me money because they say I don’t need any, and their parents didn’t give them any when they were young. Both of my parents were born in Korea. Maybe if you suggest that teenagers need a little money, they might reconsider. I hope so. – Nameless, Garden

ago, I learned my cousin had an eating disorder. My aunt said she was suffering from bulimia and was going to get professional help. Last weekend, my mother and I went to Charlotte to visit my aunt and cousin. When I saw my cousin, I was really shocked. I thought she was going to be a walking skeleton, but she looked pretty normal to me. She might have even gained a couple of pounds since I saw her last. I didn’t want to ask a bunch of dumb questions, so I didn’t really ask her about the bulimia her mom had told my mom about. But she did tell me she was in therapy now and was hoping to overcome her eating disorder. Now I’m unsure what to

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace receive spending money from their parents as needed and the remaining 16 percent receive money from working. Forty-one percent of the surveyed teens receive an allowance, and 80 percent of them said the allowance was tied to completing household chores. Is it possible your parents would agree to this arrangement? Discuss this with them. I agree that teens should have a “little spending money.” Dr. Wallace: About a month

think. I thought people with eating disorders were extremely thin. Is this true? – Gayle,

Hammond, Louisiana Gayle: Many bulimics look perfectly normal or even slightly overweight. Unlike anorexics, bulimics often gorge themselves on food, and then vomit or use a laxative to quickly eliminate the food from their body. This is referred to as bingeing and purging. The only outward sight of bulimia is the damage that might occur from constant vomiting, such as swollen or red eyes or puffiness around the throat. All eating disorders pose serious health risks. They are a form of addictive behavior, and most sufferers need

psychological counseling to overcome them. Dr. Wallace: I’m 17, and have been dating Jeremy on and off for more than two years. The “on” is when he comes crawling back; the “off” is when he is off with a new girl. Jeremy came back last week, and since I love him I took him back. We went to a party last night, and an hour after we got there, I noticed he was missing and so was Kelly, a close friend of mine. When I went looking for the two of them, I found them in the back seat of Jeremy’s car, and they were not talking about the weather. I called my brother, and he came and drove me home. After school today, Jeremy

stopped by my house and said he was sorry and he really loves me with all his heart and soul and it won’t ever happen again. I really don’t know what came over me, but this time I told Jeremy to get lost and I never wanted to see him again. Dr. Wallace, I need you to tell me I did the right thing – I did, didn’t I? – Brianna, Toledo,

Ohio Brianna: You sure did. And also give Kelly the heave-ho as well. She’s no friend of yours. Tell her she doesn’t need to sneak around anymore – Jeremy is all hers. They deserve each other. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.
