I’ve been stupid before. Lots of times.

Like when I was a kid and for years I thought Alaska was an island off the coast of Arizona because that’s where big U.S. maps showed it. And Hawaii was right under Texas, inside Mexico. I also thought that H2O was hot water and CO2 was cold water, and that Cheerios were doughnut seeds.

My lapses into periodic stupidity have continued throughout my life. I believed that Swiss cheese had holes in it from mice nibbles. For a while I actually thought if you drank different flavors of Gatorade you could sweat colors. And I recently learned that double-glazed windows do not contain sugar. Geesh.

There’s a lot more of my stupid stuff, but I don’t want to hog it all. I figure there’s enough stupidity to go around, so I’d like to share with you the nitwittedness of others. The benefit for me is that it will make me feel more normal. The benefit for you is that you will feel like royalty compared to the rest of us.

To find classic examples of stupidity, I went to the most obvious source of all things stupid, the Internet. Specifically, I perused examples of conversations on social media, which may well be the wireless depository for the common denominator of human folly. I hoped that I would find something stupid there, and, by golly, I was not disappointed.

Therefore, let me offer you these tidbits of cerebellic stupor: • We need to get off Lance Armstrong’s back ... yes he did drugs, but don’t forget he was also the first man on the moon.

• About the movie “Titanic”: Titanic must be fake how could someone record it because every one was like dead and drounding?

• Photo of Mount Rushmore: Crazy how nature make dat • I can always tell if a movie doesn’t use real dinosaurs.

• Summer is my favorite month • I’s 25 years old today! Cant believe Im halfway to 30!

• Selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower: Here at the Statue of Liberty • What’s a double figure IQ? • School daze: Ugh 8am class tomorrow

What class?

Meterology Oh wow. Rocks in space. Sounds like a lot of fun!

• RIP Maya Angelou … You sat on that bus so people can walk to their dreams.

• Happy Labor Day! Be thankful for all the Mothers who went into Labor for their kids!

• If barraco barner is our president why is he getting involved with Russia • Does it take 18 months for twins to be born?

• I want my first daughter to be a girl.

• Just found out that my birthday is the same day as I was born … Life is crazy • Goodbye America, Hello New York!

• Some1 told me u can pay 4 stuff on the internet by putting ur credit card in the cd slot.

Is that true?

• Cosmic Conversation: Pluto not a planet no more?

What is it then? A star?

IDK … It’s just a round thing floating there.

It’s a moon!

We got two moons?

• Do people not know how to spell milk? I’m seein MLK everywhere. There’s an I in there people.

• Photo of woman bending down by a bidet: Why are the drinking fountains so short in Europe?

• OMG I just read that China is 12 hours ahead of America … Why didn’t they warn us about 9/11?

So that’s what it feels like to fly at the speed of the sound of stupidity. But please hang on, because I think there’s more turbulence ahead.

Woodstock Make-A-Wish recipient starts organization to benefit foundation

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Ever since Zach McMillon had cancer, he wanted to give back to other children in similar situations.

Make-A-Wish Illinois granted his wish – a trip for the family to Disney World with all-inclusive passes and 60 Portillo’s chocolate cakes – when he was 8 years old.

Today, the 17-year-old junior at Woodstock High School and his family have started the nonprofit A Million Dreams to raise money and awareness for Make-A-Wish and to give other children with life-threatening illnesses the experience Zach had. “[Make-A-Wish] helped my family through a hard time by giving us joy,” Zach said. “And if they can give joy to us, then they can give joy to other people.”

A Million Dreams has raised more than $25,000 since it started holding its masquerade ball in 2013, and this year it will host the fourth annual ball with a goal of raising $30,000.

The event will be from 6 to 11 p.m.

April 23 at the Holiday Inn, 800 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake. Tickets can be purchased through the organization’s website through the day of the event.

Yvonne McMillon, Zach’s mother, said when her son was about 10 years old, he came to her with the idea to raise money for children like him.

When Zach was 7, he was diagnosed with a rare cancer, epithelioid sarcoma, McMillon said. She said after his tumor was removed, Zach went through radiation therapy five days a week for about four months.

Going to the hospital and undergoing tests became normal for Zach, his mother said.

“He’s the one that’s going through it physically, but everybody is emotionally tied to it,” McMillon said.

Zach’s father, David McMillon, and 13-year-old brother, Sean McMillon, also came on the trip to Florida, which allowed the family to forget for a week about when the next doctor’s appointment was, or what would happen to Zach next, Yvonne McMillon said.

“There’s a lot of different organizations out there to raise money, but

Yvonne McMillon and her son both said their goal is to make other children smile.

A Million Dreams knows its fundraising has directly benefited a 5-year-old Algonquin girl with a heart syndrome, Yvonne McMillon said. It also has connected the family with other wish-recipient families, such as Haley Lichter’s.

Lichter, a 19-year-old teenager from Cary who died in January 2015 after fighting a rare form of brain

cancer since 2013, spoke at the second annual masquerade ball about her experience.

Although Zach is busy playing the trumpet and being on Woodstock High School’s varsity tennis and bowling teams, he goes above and beyond to help the organization grow, said Louis Vasquez, his uncle.

“He’s doing it because he loves what he does,” Vasquez said of Zach.

Vasquez helps with A Million Dreams’ sponsorships and social media, and said the organization has doubled its fundraising every year for the masquerade ball. This year the family hopes to have 300 people attend.

Zach, who has been cancer free since the tumor was removed, has spoken at past events about his experience with cancer and what MakeA-Wish has meant to him.

“It changed me,” Zach said. “It made me a happier person.”

State election board looking into county’s primary election problems

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The Illinois State Board of Elections at the behest of a state lawmaker is looking into the problems that plagued Tuesday’s primary.

State Rep. David McSweeney asked board Chairman Charles Scholz in a Thursday evening email for a close look at how the McHenry County Clerk’s Office handled the election.

“It’s important that the public has full confidence in the integrity of the election process. It’s also essential that training is improved to make sure that this never happens again,” said McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills.

Candidates, elected officials and voters have been demanding answers after an election day that they allege was plagued with issues from top to bottom.

It was not until Thursday evening – almost 48 hours after polls closed and about the same time that McSweeney emailed his request – that all but late-mail ballots were tallied and some close races for state and local offices were decided.

Election board spokesman Jim Tenuto clarified that the agency has no subpoena power. What it can do, he said, is make inquiries, gather information and assist by making helpful recommendations.

“We don’t have authority to [investi-

Voice your opinion Did you encounter any problems voting in Tuesday’s primary? Vote online at NWHerald.com. gate], but we would be glad to assist if anyone has concerns,” Tenuto said Friday morning.

An email to McSweeney from board General Counsel Ken Menzel stated that the agency already has begun to gather information and reach out to County Clerk Mary McClellan’s office.

“It will probably take some time to fully piece through exactly what happened,” Menzel wrote.

Problems started shortly after polls opened at 6 a.m. when some precincts turned away voters because the electronic poll books used to verify voter registration malfunctioned. McClellan got an emergency court order to keep the polls open another 90 minutes.

However, many precincts complained that they did not get informed of this, and that repeated attempts to contact McClellan’s office failed – at least two precincts closed at 7 p.m. instead of 8:30 p.m. Precinct workers and judges complained of malfunctioning equipment, and voters complained that they were turned away, or had incomplete ballots.

McClellan in a Wednesday news release defended the integrity of the results and said that certain steps already are being taken to improve the process. She welcomed any review of her processes or Tuesday’s events by the state election board.

McSweeney said he was more than happy to take her up on it, calling what happened “totally unacceptable.”

Whatever help the county receives is welcome, local leaders of both political parties said. McHenry County Republican Party Chairwoman Sandra Fay Salgado said the need for an outside look is not a “witch hunt,” but a need to make sure future elections run smoothly.

“Whatever comes out of this investigation, between [McClellan’s] office and the County Board, we can put things in place to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We want to be the best of the best in McHenry County, and in this case, we got an F,” Salgado said.

Democratic Party of McHenry County Chairman Michael Bissett also welcomed an examination by the state election board. He said the party several weeks before the primary had warned the Attorney General’s Office of potential problems such as lack of communication and training issues.

“We saw this coming a mile away,” Bissett said.

County Board puts IMRF director on hot seat over probe

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board members spent 90 minutes Thursday evening excoriating Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Executive Director Louis Kosiba over his agency’s ongoing investigation into whether board members are working the 1,000 hours a year required to qualify for a pension.

County Board members, who had invited Kosiba to talk about the IMRF system, grilled him almost constantly after his brief presentation ended, repeatedly accusing him of allowing his agency to be a pawn of state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who asked the agency to look into the board’s work hours.

Members also criticized him for appearing with Franks with the editorial boards of two local Louis newspapers before go- Kosiba ing to the county first.

Board member Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, flatly told Kosiba that he wasn’t buying his explanations.

“I think you were dragged into a political ploy by a state repre- Nick sentative who’s had a Provenzano vendetta against this board for many, many years,” Provenzano said. “I would expect greater prudence and diligence from an executive director of your stature. I’m just going to chalk it up to the fact that it was a bad choice on your part to get into a political situation two weeks before an election.”

Franks last month asked the IMRF to investigate the County Board’s participation in IMRF, alleging that board members were falling far short of the 1,000-hour minimum, which adds up to about 20 hours a week for 50 weeks.

The two met Feb. 29 with the editorial boards of the Northwest Herald and the

“We can solve this problem, folks. We can solve it right now.

I guarantee you we can get a bunch of people in here saying, ‘You know what, McHenry County Board members, you don’t need pensions.’ And if they did take away your pension, would you still serve?”

Daily Herald.

Kosiba defended his decision and the integrity of the investigation, but said that he would push back the April 4 deadline he gave board members to provide documentation of their work time since 2015. He also said he wanted to speak with the McHenry County Joe State’s Attorney’s OfGottemoller fice to make sure the IMRF investigation does not prejudice an unrelated Open Meetings Act lawsuit filed against the County Board by a labor union that last year made the same complaint that Yvonne Franks did.

Barnes Kosiba, who has led IMRF since 2001, kept his comments with the Northwest Herald’s editors to talking about IMRF rules and did not talk about the accusations Franks was making. The editorial board, which often honors requests from elected officials to speak with them, did not know what Franks wanted to talk about until he appeared with Kosiba.

“I did not run to the press and throw this County Board under the bus,” Kosiba said. “I went to the press to talk about IMRF because a state legislator was going to the press about this board.

I was there to provide information. …

I didn’t decide I wanted to go after this board. I didn’t decide I wanted to fix some grievance with this board.”

But board members made it clear that they didn’t accept that answer.

Both County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, and Vice Chairwoman Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, criticized the handling of the situation.

“Your decision was made before you even heard our side of the story, and I have trouble with that,” Barnes said.

Members also did not buy Kosiba’s statement that his office would investigate any other county board with members receiving IMRF if they got a tip.

When Kosiba said IMRF would, Gottemoller chimed in, “They’ll have to have a news conference first.”

But while he called the IMRF investigation a pre-election political stunt, board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, asked board members why they feel they should have pensions in the first place. He is one of two members who voluntarily rejected participating in IMRF. “We can solve this problem, folks.

We can solve it right now,” Gasser said.

“I guarantee you we can get a bunch of people in here saying, ‘You know what, McHenry County Board members, you don’t need pensions.’ And if they did take away your pension, would you still serve?”

Man found not guilty of cocaine charges from McHenry traffic stop

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An Elk Grove Village man was acquitted Friday of two felony charges that he possessed and intended to distribute more than 220 grams of cocaine.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer returned a not guilty verdict after the bench trial for Jose A. Galvan.

Jose A. Galvan Galvan has been out on bond since his arrest in February 2014. He was facing up to 30 years in prison if convicted. Galvan and his co-defendant Juan C. Martinez were arrested in February 2014 during a traffic stop near the intersection of Route 120 and Riverside Drive in McHenry.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Office police said during the traffic stop, a sheriff’s K-9 unit indicated the presence of narcotics in the vehicle.

Feetterer said in his decision that he did not believe the state provided evidence that showed Galvan knew or could have known that there was cocaine in his vehicle.

Deputies searched the vehicle and found more than 220 grams of cocaine in the backseat.

Galvan and Martinez each were charged with a Class X felony of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and a Class 1 felony of unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ann Scholl argued that Galvan was aware of the cocaine that Martinez brought into his vehicle in a black shopping bag and that it was intended to be sold based on the quantity.

Vincent A. Luisi Jr., Galvan’s attorney, said the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Galvan was aware of the contents of the shopping bag.

Martinez pleaded guilty last year to unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and is serving a nine-year prison sentence.

D-155 OKs bids for bleachers project

Student food drives help restock Woodstock Food Pantry

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Work to build onto the east bleachers at Crystal Lake South High School should begin toward the end of next month, Community High School District 155 officials said.

The school board on Tuesday gave unanimous approval to bids for work to increase seating and to install the press box on the east side using pieces from the deconstructed west bleachers.

Bids came in for mass grading, site utilities, landscaping, concrete, bleachers, electrical, asphalt and fencing, District 155 Director of Operations Jeff Daurer said.

Daurer said he expects to get the necessary permits in the next few weeks. Workers can start around April 28.

Director of Communications Shannon Mortimer said the total base bid amount is $863,170, and Pepper Construction will be managing the various contracts.

The project’s completion, expected

by Aug. 12, will mark the end of an almost three-year controversy over the west bleachers.

“Essentially, we’re augmenting the east side and certainly we’ll be using the risers and seats from the west side we took down,” he said.

The west bleachers were deconstructed down to nine rows in November, down in size by a third of what the district’s $1.8 million bleachers expansion project built.

The case dates back to August 2013, when property owners sued the district over the expanded bleachers, arguing the district bypassed the city’s zoning process. Several court appearances later, the case culminated in an Illinois Supreme Court decision ruling the school district has to comply with the city’s zoning and stormwater requirements.

The upcoming work is based on a design approved by the school board and supported by the neighbors involved in the lawsuit. In terms of an outstanding judicial order to demolish the bleachers, Daurer said the district was given relief from the order in early March.

How to improve your Indoor Air Quality It seems that more people are having health issues related to indoor air quality than ever before. Allergies and respiratory cases seems to be growing exponentially. We can’t control all of the contributing factors but we can definitely resolve many problems in our homes.

No one would live in a house without vacuuming the floors on a regular basis. Yet most homes never had their ductwork cleaned and sanitized. Imagine all the unpleasantness that can accumulate in your ducts over a 15-25 year period. Anything from dust, mites, mildew and mold that you inhale every day that can eventually effect your health.

Crystal Lake

Once the ducts have been cleaned, then they should be sealed. We use Aeroseal, which is the only method where we seal them from the inside. This prevents unhealthy air in attics and crawl spaces from entering your living area. By sealing 93-98% of air leakage, Aeroseal greatly improves air flow and comfort in your home.

To further increase you I.A.Q. (Indoor Air Quality), we recommend the following: Humidifier - Maintain a level of 35-50% humidity in the heating season for optimal home comfort.

U.V. (Ultra Violet) - Municipal water filtration facilities have used UV to kill bacteria for years in your drinking water. It will kill microorganisms in the air and contaminants on the surface.

Air Filters - There are several types to choose from but conceptually they are designed to remove micron size particles in the air stream and control odors.

If you have any HVAC related questions, please contact me today!

IBHE selected 62 pieces by 42 student artists from public and private colleges and universities and vocational schools throughout the state. Steinlauf will graduate from MCC in May and plans to do freelance photography for a graphic design company or ad agency.

STATE ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state

1

Adams County voters will get chance to cast late ballots

QUINCY – A judged ruled that residents in western Illinois’ Adams County who were unable to vote in the primaries because there weren’t enough ballots should get the chance to vote next week.

An Adams County Judge Chet Vahle issued the order Thursday, saying it was the only recourse for voters who couldn’t cast ballots in Tuesday’s elections. The Quincy Herald-Whig reported late voting will be allowed at the Adams County courthouse from March 21 to 25.

To cast a late ballot, people need to sign an affidavit swearing under oath that they were unable to vote. The county’s state’s attorney said there are safeguards in place to prevent fraud.

Adams was among a handful of counties that ran out of ballots and had to print more because of high turnout.

Officer gave differing accounts of fatal shooting

CHICAGO – A Chicago police officer who fatally shot a bat-wielding college student and the student’s neighbor gave two versions of what happened – first telling detectives that the student held the baseball bat over his head then telling them two days later that the young man swung the bat at him.

The police reports on the shooting death of 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier and the accidental shooting death of 55-year-old Bettie Jones by officer Robert Rialmo raise new questions about what happened Dec. 26, and come at a time when the department and the veracity of accounts given by officers present at the scenes of shootings are under intense scrutiny.

The Independent Police Review Authority already is investigating whether officers were trying to cover up for officer Jason Van Dyke when they gave accounts of his 2014 shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald that appear to be at odds with what unfolds on dashcam video of the killing. Van Dyke has been charged with first-degree murder.

Rialmo has not been charged in the LeGrier shooting. The attorney representing the teen’s father in a wrongful death lawsuit against Rialmo and the city said it is clear

the officer is trying to justify the shooting.

“As time goes on, he’s covering himself more and more,” Foutris said.

But Rialmo’s attorney, Joel Brodsky, said the second report is nothing more than a more detailed account of what happened and not an attempt by the officer to change his story.

“They could both be fully accurate,” said Brodsky, who said Rialmo believes he did mention that LeGrier swung his bat in the first interview and that the detective may have not written it down.

On the day of the shooting, Rialmo and his partner Anthony LaPalermo responded to a 911 call about a disturbance at the apartment building where LeGrier was staying with his father. When they arrived, Jones, the downstairs neighbor, let them in and motioned that the disturbance was upstairs.

In his initial report, given less than two hours after the shooting, Rialmo said when he started up the stairs, LeGrier emerged from the doorway, holding a bat in both hands over his head.

Rialmo said he was in fear for his life, and fired his weapon. LeGrier was shot six times and Jones was shot once, according to the County Medical Examiner’s office.

Two days later, Rialmo was interviewed again. In that interview he told detectives that he heard “someone charging down the stairs from the second floor” and that LeGrier stepped out and, according to the police report, “swung the baseball bat at P.O. Rialmo with an overhand downward swing and then a half backwards swing.”

Chicago flea market fire ruled an accident

CHICAGO –The Chicago Fire Department said a massive blaze at a twoblock-long flea market was an accident likely caused by an electrical issue.

The department said in a report released Thursday that the March 8 fire likely started in a vendor’s booth in the outdoor section at the West Side’s Buyers Flea Market. Fire officials ruled out arson.

They cited witness statements, computer reconstruction and security video.

Chicago police and fire officials and federal officials compiled the report.

The blaze caused $16 million in damage. The fire department needed 180 firefighters and paramedics and 60 pieces of fire equipment to put the fire out.

At its height, the fire sent large plumes of black smoke into the sky. Vehicles parked on the building’s deck fell into the building as the roof collapsed.

Illinois Legislature exempts itself from open records review

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – When Illinois lawmakers revamped the Freedom of Information Act in 2009 and created an outside appeals process for public records requests denied by state government, they made an important exception – themselves.

Records requests denied by the General Assembly are not subject to review by the attorney general’s public access counselor, the counselor’s office said in a letter this week to The Associated Press.

That exception for the Legislature means that even as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner routinely discloses his appointment calendars in response to AP reBruce quests, the leaders of the Rauner Legislature could deny a similar AP request for their calendars and emails – with no right of appeal. Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan – who has been in that post for more than 30 years – doesn’t even Michael keep a calendar or use Madigan email, his spokesman Steve Brown said.

“It does not make for good government,” David Melton, senior adviser to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, said of the exception for the General Assembly.

Even some advocates of open government had overlooked the provision exempting the General Assembly from FOIA appeals. The issue has come up as Illinois is mired in a fracas between Rauner and legislative Democrats that has left the state without a budget for nine months. Many lawmakers admit that nothing much is getting done in Springfield.

Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said allowing review of open records denials by the attorney general would violate constitutional separation of power provisions between executive and legislative branches.

“We have enough trouble getting stuff done to begin with.”

Sen. Kwame Raoul D-Chicago

Christine Radogno, the Senate’s Republican leader, would not address the issue during an unrelated news conference Thursday, but said, “This is an area that we’re trying to work through.”

Eileen Boyce, spokeswoman for Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who spearheaded the 2009 FOIA revision that created the counselor, did not answer a question about whether the Legislature should submit to the review system, but said that the attorney general “has strongly advocated for greater transparency by all branches of government.”

The AP participated in a 50-state project for Sunshine Week, the national celebration of government transparency, by requesting emails and appointment calendars for the week of Feb. 1 to 7 from each legislative leader.

The Senate responded that legislative immunity granted by the state constitution shields it from answering FOIA requests. It also argued, along with the House, that it is exempt from releasing emails and calendars, saying that individual legislators are not “public bodies” under FOIA and that the law makes exceptions for “preliminary drafts” and the personal privacy of constituents.

Asked whether Speaker Madigan believes legislative leaders should release information as Rauner has, Madigan’s spokesman Brown said he’d check and call back “if I have anything to say.” He did not call back.

Democratic Sen. Kwame Raoul of Chicago, the Senate sponsor of the 2009 FOIA alterations, said too much immediate release of information could stymie the always-complex, often-delicate process of lawmaking “if every exchange and every conversation is subject to scrutiny.”

“We have enough trouble getting stuff done to begin with,” Raoul said.

A mockup of a Minuteman 3 nuclear missile used for training by missile maintenance crews is seen in 2014 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. Defense officials said the Air Force is investigating 14 airmen at the nuclear missile base for alleged use of illegal drugs.

14 at nuke base probed for illegal drug activity

By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Fourteen members of an Air Force unit responsible for guarding nuclear missiles in Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska are under investigation for possible illegal drug activity, including cases involving cocaine use, defense officials said Friday.

The probe is a fresh blow to a nuclear missile corps that has been under intense scrutiny in recent years for a string of lapses in training and personal conduct, first revealed

by The Associated Press. The Air Force has said repeatedly over the past year that it is making significant changes aimed at lifting morale and improving performance.

The investigation at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, home of the 90th Missile Wing, near Cheyenne, Wyoming, was announced

by Gen. Robin Rand, the four-star commander of Air Force Global Strike Command. The command is responsible for the entire fleet of 450 Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles that stand in underground launch silos, one third of them operated by the 90th Missile Wing. The missile force is on alert 24 hours a day, yearround, requiring strict adherence to performance standards by the men and women who operate, maintain and protect them.

Rand, speaking by telephone from his headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base

in Louisiana, said the 14 airmen under investigation range in rank from airman first class to senior airman and are members of the security group at F.E. Warren that is responsible for securing the missile fields and convoys that move nuclear weapons.

Rand said the 14 are accused of off-duty drug “activity,” which he refused to further define.

He said the allegations were “credible.”

“This is very important to me that we get to the bottom of this,” Rand said, adding that he is confident the vast majority of airmen in the nuclear missile corps comply with Air Force standards of personal conduct. “We have a special trust with our nation, with our public, with the mission that we do in Air Force Global Strike Command.”

The security unit at F.E. Warren, known as the 90th Security Forces Group, includes about 1,300 airmen, Rand said, of which nearly 1,000 are junior enlisted members of ranks similar to the 14 under investigation. They are commanded by Col. Christopher L. Corley.

The investigation was started after a member of the security forces alerted his superiors of his suspicion of drug activity by another airman, Rand said, adding that the commander of the 90th Missile Wing, Col. Stephen Kravitsky, informed him Tuesday that an investigation was underway. It’s not clear when it began.

Secret Service agents guard Republican presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump on March 12 after a man tried to breach the security buffer at his campaign event at the Wright Brothers Aero Hangar in Vandalia, Ohio.

The security ring protecting Trump includes Secret Service agents, his own private bodyguards, local police, and sometimes even the Transportation Security Administration.

Trump alone in deciding to curb aggressive language The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The security ring protecting Donald Trump includes Secret Service agents, his own private bodyguards, local police, and sometimes even the Transportation Security Administration. But even that show of force has not halted disturbing episodes of violence. The only person who can stop Trump from egging on the brawling crowds Donald is Trump himself.

His Secret Service Trump detail is limited to keeping Trump safe and the venues where he speaks secure. Local law enforcement officers are there to keep the peace, along with private security hired either by the venues or Trump.

“The Secret Service is not the word police,” said Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation, a union that represents Secret Service agents.

Trump denies that he contributes to the violence at events around the country, even though on Tuesday night he predicted “riots” and “a tremendous problem” if Republican leaders try to maneuver the nomination away from him. He has said at a rally he wished he could punch a protester in the face and

longed for the days when someone who interrupted a rally would be “carried out on a stretcher.”

“Our concern is overt acts of threats to our protected” officials, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy told Congress on Tuesday. “People have the right to voice their opinions, and it’s for the host committee to decide whether or not that’s disruptive to that event.”

Agents with the campaign detail only advise campaign staff or a candidate about security concerns, Clancy said. The campaign, he added, generally decides whether a protester should be removed – something Trump usually does by saying, “Get’m outta here.”

Clancy declined to discuss specific security plans for large rallies.

“There’s a lot of give-and-take with all these events,” Clancy said. “And there’s no question, some of these events create more challenges for us.”

In fact, New York police and the FBI are investigating a threatening letter sent Thursday to Trump’s adult son, Eric.

Trump asked for Secret Service protection in October as his popularity swelled, along with the crowds at his rallies. His federally funded security detail was put in place in early November.

The Secret Service has declined to say how many agents have been assigned to protect Trump, citing security concerns.

Such protection is routinely afforded to candidates for president and vice president 120 days before an election.

But past candidates, including President Barack Obama, have received protection far earlier. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton gets Secret Service protection as a former first lady, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was approved for a protective detail earlier this year.

Even before federal security protection, private security surrounded Trump during campaign events.

Through the end of January, his campaign reported paying about $170,000 for security, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

That includes at least $55,000 to security firms and local police departments since Trump asked for Secret Service protection.

The campaign doesn’t include the nearly $78,000 paid to Trump’s personal security chief, Keith Schiller. The majority of that money the campaign reports as “pre-paid payroll.”

At the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Trump canceled a rally because of security concerns, a phalanx of uniformed local police, suit-clad officers and private security watched entry lines wrapped around the building and made periodic rounds throughout the venue as it filled with thousands of people.

Uniformed airport security screen-

ers staffed metal detectors and inspected bags as people passed through. A handful of uniformed Secret Service officers and dozens of other police and security officers also were stationed outside and throughout the arena.

The audience, following instructions from an unidentified speaker on the public address system, routinely pointed out protesters to security officers and cheered their removal. At least one man, dressed in combat boots, camouflage pants and a matching Trump hat, appeared to scout the audience on his own and take pictures with his cellphone. He appeared to share the photos with a security official dressed in a suit and to point to various groups in the audience. Still, scuffles broke out around the arena after the rally was canceled.

Arnette Heintze, a retired senior Secret Service agent who now runs the corporate security firm Hillard Heintze, said he doesn’t recall seeing such scenes in past campaigns that he had worked since the early 1980s.

He said there’s surely a more tactful approach Trump could take than shouting to the crowd and security “get them out.”

“It is entirely out the purview of the Secret Service to speak with the candidate about anything they are going to say or do at an event,” Adler said. “They are not confidants. They are not speech writers.”

In this framegrab taken from VTM, armed police officers take part in a raid Friday in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels, Belgium.

After an intense four-month manhunt across Europe and beyond, police on Friday captured Salah Abdeslam, the top fugitive in the Paris attacks in the same Brussels neighborhood where he grew up.

In this framegrab taken from VTM, armed police officers escort a suspect to a police vehicle during a raid Friday in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels, Belgium. that the occupants come out with their hands up, said Fatiha Hrika, a 39-yearold child-care worker who lives a few doors down from where the raid happened.

After shots were fired, she told The Associated Press, “they piled in. We heard noises all around. And that’s when they pulled out the Salah (guy.)

They put him to the ground.”

She described seeing the suspect put into an ambulance followed by a SWAT team.

France’s BFM television broadcast images of police tugging a man with a white hooded sweatshirt toward a po-

lice car, as he dragged his left leg as if it were injured.

Abdeslam was not armed but did not immediately obey orders when confronted by police, Belgian prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said. It was possible he had spent days, weeks or months in the apartment, according to Van der Sypt, who said the investigation would continue day and night.

French President Francois Hollande said authorities will continue hunting for anyone who aided the attacks in any way. He said those people are much more numerous than authorities had believed, and that the French govern-

ment would seek to have Abdeslam extradited.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel called Friday’s arrests a success in the “fight against terrorism.”

President Barack Obama congratulated the leaders of Belgium and France over the arrest, in phone calls with both men, the White House said in a statement.

Two other people believed linked to the attacks were still being sought, including fellow Molenbeek resident Mohamed Abrini and a man known under the alias of Soufiane Kayal.

Friday’s capture of Abdeslam came after Belgian authorities said they found his fingerprints in an apartment raided earlier this week in another Brussels neighborhood.

In that raid, a man believed to have been an accomplice of Abdeslam – Mohamed Belkaid – was shot dead, Belgian prosecutors said. But two men escaped from the apartment, one of whom appears to have been Abdeslam.

Most of the Paris attackers died on the night of the attacks, including Abdeslam’s brother Brahim, who blew himself up. Brahim Abdeslam was buried in the Brussels area Thursday.

Salah’s Abdeslam’s role in the attacks has never been clearly spelled out. The car he drove was abandoned in northern Paris, and his mobile phone and an explosive vest he may have used were later found in the Paris suburb of Montrouge, raising the possibility that he aborted his mission, either ditching a malfunctioning vest or fleeing in fear.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.

BRUSSELS – Police raiding an apartment building captured Europe’s most wanted fugitive Friday, arresting the prime suspect in last year’s deadly Paris attacks in the same Brussels neighborhood where he grew up.

Hours later, the French president said more people were involved in the attacks than initially thought, and predicted more arrests would follow.

Salah Abdeslam, 26, is a childhood friend of the suspected ringleader of the attacks. Investigators believe he drove a car carrying a group of gunmen who took part in the shootings, rented rooms and shopped for detonators. He may have been planning a suicide attack himself.

After the bloodbath, he slipped through a dragnet to return to Brussels and eluded capture for four months, despite an international manhunt. He was believed to have slipped through police fingers multiple times. At one point, Belgian authorities locked down their capital for several days but failed to find him.

His capture brought instant relief to police and ordinary people in France and Belgium who had been looking over their shoulder for Abdeslam since Nov. 13, when Islamic extremist attackers fanned out across the French capital and killed 130 people at a rock concert, the national stadium and cafes. It was France’s deadliest attack in decades.

Abdeslam and four other suspects were detained in Friday’s raid, including three members of a family that sheltered him. Abdeslam was shot in the leg and was hospitalized, and another arrested with him was also wounded, officials said.

During Friday’s police operation, a phalanx of officers in camouflage, masks and riot helmets marched through the neighborhood with guns and automatic weapons drawn, escorting people out of buildings.

A witness described hearing gunshots and officers repeatedly yelling over a loudspeaker to suspects holed up inside the apartment building.

Authorities first sealed off the neighborhood. Then police began shouting to a particular apartment, demanding

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

It can take courage to run for office

The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To all of the candidates who put themselves out there to run for elected office in the 2016 primaries. Running for office means opening yourself up to public scrutiny and criticism, costs a lot of money and significantly eats into personal time.

It takes an amount of courage that many don’t realize. Congratulations to Tuesday’s winners. Please remember you were elected to serve the public, and the public’s best interest must come first.

Thumbs up: To Cary’s Curt and Judy Michols, who are asking people to donate to the Cary-Grove Food Pantry, where their son, Chris, used to volunteer. Chris died in a crash in Woodstock while riding his bicycle, and the donations in his memory will go toward buying a truckload of supplies for the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

Thumbs down: To Illinois Senate Democrats who passed another sham spending bill Thursday instead of working to produce a meaningful budget for the state, which is in its ninth month without one. The bill calls for $3.8 billion in funding for colleges and social services, which is well and good, but the state doesn’t have any money and the bill doesn’t provide a revenue source to fund the approved spending. It passed in the Senate, 39-18.

Thumbs Up: To the hundreds around McHenry County who have participated and will participate in St. Baldrick’s Day events to fight pediatric cancer. Barbers, hair stylists, donors and individuals who participate in this annual event across McHenry County and the nation really make a huge difference and deserve our thanks.

Thumbs down: To the increasing size of Illinois’ bill backlog. Comptroller Leslie Munger revealed Thursday the state owes nearly $9 billion to vendors who provide services to the state. That tab could top $10 billion by June 30, the end of the budget-less fiscal year, she said.

Thumbs up: To Easter egg hunts planned throughout the county today and the volunteers and village officials who plan the family-friendly holiday events each year.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Transparency in financial industry

After nearly seven years of political and bureaucratic warfare, the Obama administration is about to unveil stricter rules governing brokers and others who help people invest their retirement savings. Specifically, the administration wants to impose a legally enforceable duty to act in the “best interest” of clients, similar to the fiduciary duty lawyers and other professionals already owe.

The administration says the “fiduciary rule” is necessary for two reasons: First, in the modern era, Americans’ retirement funds reside heavily in individual tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, the former accounting for $4.2 trillion and the latter $7.4 trillion in 2013. Yet federal regulations date from 1975, when corporate pensions predominated. Second, many financial advisers to IRA investors get paid commissions based on sales of certain products that may not be best for their clients, yet those compensation schemes are

not always transparent.

It all seems commonsensical; a White House study suggests “conflicted advice,” allegedly particularly prevalent in the half-trillion-dollar-a-year 401(k) rollover business, costs consumers $17 billion in higher fees a year. The problem, according to the investment industry, is the administration is using a hammer to swat a fly. Opponents do not deny commission-based compensation schemes can create apparent conflicts of interest, but advisers still are required to act based on what’s “suitable” for a client. The proposed regulation, they argue, will render unprofitable commission-based business models that are the only way many small savers get investment advice now, and the costs of that would outweigh the costs, if any, of the status quo.

At its core, the fiduciary rule fight is, like many issues in Washington, a problem of where to draw the line. The fiduciary rule would inevitably abolish some number

of business relationships certain people might accept; instead of possibly conflicted, but still “suitable,” advice, they would get none, or perhaps “robo-advice” online.

On the plus side, however, other people would be protected from exploitation.

The investment industry’s strongest point is a proposed exemption the administration offered to placate opponents is so vague few, if any, companies would take advantage of it.

That doesn’t mean, however, the whole rule is fatally flawed. We revert to common sense: If you’re in business to advise small investors, it should be as clear as possible that you work for them and not a third party behind the scenes. Yes, the fiduciary rule might shrink the business, but what remains could well enjoy greater legitimacy, in both reality and perception. In this time of raging populism, the financial industry needs all the trustworthiness it can get.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Wall Street reaction

To the Editor: The March 14 column by Bloomberg’s Matthew Winkler defending Wall Street was half right.

The nation’s large banks do have a useful function to perform in our economy, and, of late, they have been doing it reasonably well. However, telling us their stocks are trading at a premium is not a good way to convince us on Main Street that the bankers have become good people.

Wall Street’s notable weakness, contributing directly to banks’ role in causing the recession, is lack of diversity. No, no, not that. Their fault is they all appear to think alike. All of the banks ran over to where new ideas, leveraged lending and mortgage backed securities were making money, but failed to act as though there were risks to be managed.

We haven’t seen bankers prosecuted for their role in the recession because stupidity isn’t illegal.

The column quotes Warren Buffet, a man who thinks independently and has built a corporation that carefully avoids simply following the herd of sheep. He’s

VIEWS Margaret Carlson however. The most heartbreaking losses are the ones we bring on ourselves. He’d had some second-place finishes and had a chance of becoming the establishment candidate after Bush dropped out. Trump started in on him early, however, branding him with belittling nicknames and taunts about how much he sweated under pressure. After weeks of battering, Rubio went on his own rampage and finally got the coverage that had been Trump’s alone, but he came out the worse for it. The press covered his bad joke about Trump having small hands like Howard Dean’s scream.

Trump’s retort about his own manhood on stage at the debate was just more of the same.

Then Rubio remembered who he was. While no one’s apologized for any of the atrocities of this dismal campaign year – especially not Trump, who has committed most of them – Rubio offered a mea culpa for the taunts he leveled at Trump.

My “kids were embarrassed by it.

not from Wall Street.

I still bash Wall Street because I can’t see whether it has learned anything. I’m not seeing evidence of remorse, of a lesson learned. I bash Wall Street because it appears to feel entitled to outrageous compensation just because its deals with large sums of money. I don’t object to paying them more than the average bank teller; we do trust them with large sums of money. However, I wonder if we should trust them.

Elect a Republican president

To the Editor: The approval rating of Congress hardly could go much lower, but, to be fair, the Republican-controlled Congress gets a bum rap.

Republicans for the past two years have blamed their failure to pass meaningful legislation on President Barack Obama, who they say is the reason for their abysmal performance.

So let’s give Republicans an opportunity to follow through with their promises

My wife didn’t like it,” he told Fox’s Megyn Kelly. “That’s not who I am, and that’s not what I want to be. Honestly, I want to be a good example. I want my kids to be proud of me.”

But the sunny, optimistic, candidate of generational change never recovered. On a dark night, it’s hard to remember how bright a light Rubio was in his party, the politician Bill Clinton tried to defeat in his race for the Senate fearing he would present the biggest challenge to his wife in her race to be president. He was a Florida legislator at age 29, speaker of the Florida House by 35, a U.S. senator at 39. It went to his head, and after four scant years in Washington, he thought he should be president.

Rubio might have had a comeback had he been able to win Florida and its 99 winner-take-all delegates. His fate was sealed when Sen. Ted Cruz, who had no chance of winning the Sunshine State, decided to spoil it for Rubio by announcing he would compete there. This hurt Cruz in his effort to stop Trump, but it hurt Rubio more.

The week before the March 15 primary, Rubio came to make his last stand in Miami, where he was born, went to school, got married and

is raising his children. He brought his best game to the University of Miami debate. He didn’t get personal with Trump, but he did get serious, telling the mogul to worry less about political correctness and more about being correct, as he fact-checked his rival in real time. Without getting down to Trump’s level, he showed up his ignorance on Israel, Cuba and trade. To the dismay of pundits and the audience used to fireworks, there were none. Rubio got very little credit for being an encyclopedia to Trump’s Cliff’s Notes.

While Trump jetted in for one event and otherwise substituted a barrage of negative ads depicting Rubio as a cheating, scheming liar, Rubio spent hours and hours on his red, white and blue bus, traveling the width and length of the state, from the tip of the panhandle in Pensacola to the I-95 corridor, stopping at industrial parks, barbecue joints and coffee shops. However few the customers, he extolled them to vote: “If I win Florida, I’ll be the nominee. If I don’t win Florida, it’ll be much harder.”

Try impossible.

bonanza for the country. But, of course, Republicans will have to accomplish this while keeping their promise to build up the military, which already has a budget larger than the next nine nations combined.

Let’s not forget another Republican promise – that of reducing the national debt, which is about $19 trillion.

Some might be skeptical about the Republicans keeping their promises, but not me because I know Republican politicians would not make promises they did not intend to keep.

Marco Rubio started the race for his party’s nomination young.

Too young, if you ask Jeb Bush, his political big brother, or if you listen to Donald Trump, as many did. He dubbed him “Little Marco,” and it stuck.

On Tuesday night, Rubio suffered the first loss of his storied career, and it was a devastating one. Trump whomped him by almost 20 points in his home state.

All political defeats are hard: They’re so public and, at the same time, so personal. Grown men weep.

There’s an added hurt in Rubio’s case.

He was soundly rejected by the people who used to love him the most.

It would be easy to blame Trump, and in his concession speech Rubio did some of that by deploring a political climate in which “people literally hate each other.”

But, in truth, he was felled by a general disgust with politicians.

Rubio won his Senate seat in 2010 as a tea party darling. By 2016, he might as well have been dining nightly with Nancy Pelosi. To the angry base, he had become a Washington elite, in cahoots with Chuck Schumer on immigration to boot.

Rubio himself is partly to blame,

Market finishes fifth week of gains, turning S&P 500 positive

By MARLEY JAY

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Another strong gain for stocks Friday extended the market’s recovery from a dismal start to the year to a fifth week in a row.

The Standard and Poor’s 500 index closed up for the year for the first time.

The Dow Jones industrial average turned positive Thursday. Both had been down more than 10 percent for the year a little more than a month ago.

The Dow rose 120.81 points Friday, or 0.7 percent, to 17,602.30. It is up 1 percent for the year. The S&P 500 gained 8.99 points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,049.58, and is now up 0.3 percent for 2016. The Nasdaq composite picked up 20.6 points, or 0.4 percent, to 4,795.65, though the Nasdaq remains down 4 percent for the year.

Stocks had plunged early this year as investors feared that Chinese economy, which has been the engine of global growth, was slowing faster than expected and that China’s slide would be enough to pull the U.S. economy into recession.

“The market tended to focus on the negative and ignore the good” at the start of this year, said Lowell Yura, head of Multi-Asset Solutions for BMO Global Asset Management.

But over the course of the five-week

rally, reports on hiring, manufacturing and construction spending showed the U.S. economy is doing fairly well. Industrial, consumer and technology stocks benefited from the more positive outlook in the U.S. Energy and materials stocks climbed as oil and precious metals prices rose.

And this week, the Federal Reserve said it expects to slow the pace of interest rate increases this year. Lower rates make stocks look more attractive to investors, and they help boost economic growth by reducing borrowing costs and reducing the risk associated with starting or expanding businesses.

The biggest gainers Friday were health care stocks and banks, the worst-performing parts of the market this year. Companies that make aircraft, machinery and chemicals also rose as the dollar fell against other currencies on hopes that the weaker dollar will boost their sales outside of the U.S. Starwood Hotels climbed $4.18, or 5.5 percent, to $80.57 after the hotel chain said it accepted a new buyout offer from a group led by Anbang Insurance Group of China. The bid is worth more than $14 billion. Competitor Marriott, which agreed to buy Starwood last year, said it is considering its options and noted it has the right to make another offer.

Columbia Pipeline Group climbed after TransCanada Corp. agreed to buy the company for $10 billion, or $25.50 a share, in an attempt to expand further into the U.S. Columbia Pipeline stock advanced $1.33, or 5.7 percent, to $24.84.

Health care stocks regained some ground after a rough week. Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare rose $1.57, or 5.9 percent, to $28.14; and prescription drug distributor McKesson gained $6.62, or 4.4 percent, to $158.31. Drug companies also ticked upward after days of losses, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, which rose $1.36, or 2.2 percent, to $62.83.

JPMorgan Chase said it will buy back another $1.88 billion in stock, while Bank of America announced an $800 million stock repurchase. Chase stock rose $1.73, or 2.9 percent, to $60.48 and Bank of America shares picked up 39 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $13.79. Financial stocks also are getting a boost from the recovery in oil prices. As energy prices tumbled, investors worried that some bank loans to energy companies wouldn’t get paid back.

Bond prices have also been rising in the wake of the Fed’s announcement, and on Friday the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note dipped to 1.87 percent from 1.90 percent. The euro fell to $1.1268 from $1.1316. The dollar inched up to 111.60 yen after closing at 111.50 yen Thursday.

‘Hamilton’ actor returned to show after battling cancer

TV personality and producer Ryan Seacrest (foreground left) and singer Taylor Swift (center) are seen Friday with young patients at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Seacrest Studio at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital in Nashville, Tenn. The fully functioning studio allows patients to record, do interviews, play songs and broadcast to the rooms in the hospital.

Taylor Swift makes surprise appearance at Nashville hospital NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Pop star Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at a Nashville, Tennessee, children’s hospital to help “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest open a broadcast studio for patients.

Swift on Friday met with children at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University Medical Center following the ribbon cutting on the new Seacrest Studio built at the hospital.

She told the crowd she visited one of the now 10 studios that Seacrest’s foundation had built at children’s hospitals across the country and wanted to be involved when he opened the latest one in Music City.

“What I saw when I went there was an opportunity for the kids to find excitement and to express their creativity and to learn about what it is to create content, whether you would like to make your own radio show or whether you want to record,” Swift said. “It was so exciting to see the excitement that it brought to this one hospital.”

It wasn’t the first time that Swift made a surprise visit to a children’s hospital: She previously visited others, including Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. She said she has visited the children at the Nashville facility before and the studio gives the city’s many singers and songwriters a place to reach all the children at the hospital.

“Can you imagine the artists and the songwriters and the entertainers who are going to be stopping by the hospital?” she said.

The fully functioning studio lets children learn how to record, do interviews, broadcast to the rooms in the hospital and play songs.

NEW YORK – An actor who stepped in for Lin-Manuel Miranda in two shows on Broadway – including playing the lead role in “Hamilton” once a week – has been fighting cancer.

Javier Munoz, who portrays Alexander Hamilton on Sunday matinees and performed the role for President Barack Obama last year, returned to the show three months ago after surgery and radiation, thanking the cast and his family.

“Going strong but you can believe the cast helped me get back on my feet!” he tweeted Friday. “My folks set the example.

Got thru this w/ them.”

He told the New York Post he was diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer in October.

Munoz, 40, who will be playing Hamilton over the weekend, replaced Miranda as Usnavi in his musical “In the Heights.”

Romanian village gets boost from U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg BUCHAREST, Romania – A small village in northern Romania is reveling in the virtual attention caused by a spelling mistake by U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg.

Posting a selfie on Instagram, the rapper who has been on tour in Bogota, Colombia, told his fans he was in Bogata, in Transylvania.

Romanians soon spotted the mistake and began posting about it. A tourist website, visitbogata.com, also popped up, describing the village of 2,000 as the “best place

for chillin’ in Romania.”

There’s no hotel in the village, so visitors are advised to bring a sleeping bag. If they get hungry they can feast on a twist of the famous Hungarian Snoop Dogg goulash.

“It was a mistake, but it’s a good advert for us,” Bogata Mayor Laszlo Barta told The Associated Press on Friday.

Ex-N.Y. congressman makes film, ‘The Congressman’

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. – A former U.S. congressman from New York has written and co-directed a film titled “The Congressman.”

Newsday reported that former Rep. Robert Mrazek directed the movie with actor and filmmaker Jared Martin.

Martin is known for playing Dusty Farlow on the 1980s primetime soap “Dallas.”

“The Congressman” stars Treat Williams as Charlie Winship, a Maine congressman whose refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance creates a media firestorm.

Mrazek, a Democrat, represented a congressional district on Long Island from 1983 to 1993.

He retired following accusations that he and other lawmakers repeatedly overdrew their checking account funds at the House bank.

“The Congressman” will screen April 29 at Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, New York, as well as venues in New York City and Washington, D.C.

“I love the fact that there’s such an open dialogue right now about women in Hollywood and black women and black men in Hollywood and everything in between. Now it’s about us bringing the change,” Kravitz said.

“We started the dialogue but I don’t expect any man to write a script that speaks for me. I don’t expect any man to write a script for me. I think we need to do that. If we want to be represented properly in Hollywood, let’s represent ourselves properly in Hollywood.”

Kravitz also has started a collective of filmmaker friends, including cinematographers, directors, actors and writers, to put her words into action.

The goal is to write a script together and they meet weekly to work.

She’s also planning to do her part by simply not taking roles she views as stereotypical.

“It’s our responsibility to say, ‘I’m not going to take the same role over and over again.’ I mean, of course actors gotta eat, but if it’s something you believe in, we have the power to break the stereotypes by (a) writing our own things and (b) saying ‘no’ to the same thing over and over again,” Kravitz said.

“This industry is not colorblind, but I think actors can be.”

Jury awards Hulk Hogan $115 million in Gawker sex tape suit The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A Florida jury sided with ex-pro wrestler Hulk Hogan on Friday and awarded him $115 million in his sex tape lawsuit against Gawker Media.

The jurors reached the decision Friday evening, less than six hours after they began deliberations. The trial lasted two weeks, and Hogan wept as the verdict was read.

The jury isn’t finished; they will return to court Monday to award punitive damages beyond Friday’s sum.

Just moments after the verdict, Gawker founder Nick Denton said he will appeal, based on evidence that wasn’t introduced in court.

“Given the key evidence and the most important witness in this case were withheld from the jury, we all knew the appeals court would need to resolve this case,” Denton said.

Hogan’s team issued a statement as well: “We’re exceptionally happy with the verdict. We think it represents a statement as to the public’s disgust with the invasion of privacy disguised as journalism. The verdict says no more.”

Hulk Hogan talks with his attorneys before the start of his trial Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, and his attorneys are suing Gawker Media for $100 million after Gawker posted a sex tape of Hogan and his then-best friend’s wife. posting a video of him having sex with his former best friend’s wife. Hogan contended the 2012 post violated his privacy.

First Amendment experts, media lawyers and privacy advocates watched

the case closely.

“It’s a huge damage award, and just the idea that a celebrity has a right to privacy that outweighs freedom of the press and the public’s right to know,

that’s a huge shift in American free press law,” said Samantha Barbas, a law professor at the University at Buffalo and the author of “The Laws of Image,” which focuses on the history of libel and privacy. “It could potentially be a turning point in law.”

The verdict and the unsealing of hundreds of pages of documents late in the day capped a three week judicial circus in the sleepy St. Petersburg courtroom. Jurors, media and thousands who followed the case on Twitter and livestream video were treated to days of details about Hogan’s sex life, body part size, and images of him in thong underwear. There was wrestling history, videos of Hogan yukking it up with Howard Stern and, most notably, how Gawker – a 12-year-old news and gossip website in New York City – does journalism differently from legacy media.

The unsealed documents will undoubtedly be key in Gawker’s appeals process. The evidence was unsealed because a group of media companies, including The Associated Press, sued for access and won. The civil court judge in the case had ruled that the documents be sealed, but an appellate court sided with the media companies, saying they were of legitimate public interest.

LOS ANGELES – Zoe Kravitz has heard enough talk and she’s ready for some change.

She might have an enviable perch in the entertainment ecosystem with recent film credits as diverse as “Dope,” ‘’Mad Max: Fury Road” and “The Divergent Series,” not to mention her famous lineage, but she’s also seen her share of darkness in Hollywood, too, from discrimination to stereotyping.

“People have tried to do that to me over and over again and I’ve been fighting it and fighting it,” Kravitz said on a recent afternoon interview. “I would get auditions and it would be like, ‘They want you to play the best friend.’

And it’s like, ‘Why can’t I audition for the lead?’ Then it’ll be like, ‘OK now you’re the quirky black girl,’ or ‘now you’re a hippie.’

“I can play all kinds of people. I don’t have to play myself.”

She’s made up her mind to take a stand, not only in the kinds of roles she chooses, but also in how she’s going to create change for herself.

Take “Allegiant,” the latest entry in “The Divergent Series,” out Friday, in which Kravitz reprises her role as the loyal, fierce Christina. Sure, she’s

the wives of Immortan Joe who is escaping her captivity in the high-octane race across the wasteland. “[Director George Miller] absolutely could have thrown four cute girls in the back of the car and been like ‘be scared.’ But he didn’t do that,” Kravitz said. “He said we were slaves – basically sex slaves. He wanted to feel that in our energy. He took the time to have us go a month early and [do] workshops with [feminist playwright Eve Ensler] to really understand what we were running from.”

And in last year’s “Dope,” a vibrant Sundance breakout from director Rick Famuyiwa, which Kravitz saw as an instant classic in the vein of “Friday” and “Boyz n the Hood,” she plays a suffers-no-fools dream girl with an edge.

Kravitz has faith in the industry, thanks in part to a poignant early experience in one of her first films – the 2007 Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard film “The Brave One.” “[My role] was written for a blonde white Russian girl. I was like ‘I’ll audition for it anyway,’” she said. “It changed [director Neil Jordan’s] mind about how he saw that role.”

But in order to move things forward, Kravitz, who is the daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, knows she’s just going to

Garage upgrades make room for extra storage, entertaining

By MELISSA KOSSLER • The Associated Press

Many homeowners would never let sports gear, tools and yard equipment clutter up the front hall where it’s the first things guests see.

But they’re willing to wend their own way into the house through a garage stuffed with those things, plus patio furniture, bikes, holiday decorations and more, said Todd Carter of Tailored Living featuring Premier Garage, in Reston, Virginia.

The company focuses on renovating and improving garages, and that’s a hot area in home renovation, experts say.

From cabinetry and shelving to flooring and overhead storage, there are many new ways to turn a garage into an organized and attractive space for storage, entertaining or working out.

The trend has been made possible by today’s larger garages.

“The sky’s the limit,” said Greg Parsons, owner of Motor City Garages in Clarkston, Michigan. “It’s all based on the homeowner’s stuff.”

He routinely outfits garages with high-end, scratch-resistant cabinetry, sinks and epoxy flooring – an easy-toclean coating that comes in numerous colors and finishes. He recently added a line of cabinetry that lets buyers customize the color to match their car.

Some homeowners end up adding televisions and seating, Parsons said.

Jeff and Linda Marsack of Macomb, Michigan, hired Parsons to organize their two-car garage. They added cabinets to store shoes, sporting equipment and tools. She chose red cabinets to match their kitchen.

“Every time you open your garage, you really do smile because it’s so organized,” she said. “Who doesn’t love an organized space?”

Susan Rhodes of Tempe, Arizona, purged a lot of items from her garage, added nice flooring and cabinetry, and created a work bench near a window where she can do crafts or pot flowers.

The space is so tidy that when temperatures dropped over Christmas, she moved tables from the patio into the garage for dining.

“It was just perfect,” she said. “It’s good to know, it’s not just for cars and gardening.”

This photo provided by Home Depot shows that bathrooom vanities can be used in the garage as a stylish alternative to traditional garage organization.

Professional organizer Melanie Dennis gets many calls from homeowners who want to redo their garage because it’s too cluttered to fit a car.

“It’s a combination of people not wanting to get rid of their stuff and having access to buy things 24/7 and have it delivered to their house,” said Dennis, owner of Neat Streak in Columbus, Ohio.

Families today have more stuff than previous generations did, she said. They decorate for more holidays, have dishes they only use on special dinners and hang onto photos and sentimental items with the intent of making scrapbooks, she said.

Bill McDonough, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for M/I Homes, a Columbus-based home builder, agrees.

“The big trend has one word, and that is ‘storage,’ ” he said. “People of all ages have an increasing amount of stuff.”

Customers increasingly ask for three-car garages or bump-outs that extend the garage’s length or width, McDonough said.

By LEE REICH

The Associated Press My harbinger of spring is not the robin, which anyway often decides to stay here all winter, but a plant called cornelian cherry (Cornus mas).

Most years, the tree is swathed in a show of small, yellow blossoms by the first day of spring as far north as the 42nd parallel, a latitude that stretches from southern New York through Chicago to southern Oregon. And the show is not fleeting; it carries on for weeks.

Cornelian cherry is a relative of the flowering dogwood, and eventually grows to a similar height of about 25 feet. The tree is not at all finicky about soil, and it transplants easily, grows moderately fast, lives a long time and has no serious pest problems.

Year-round interest

Summer and fall also bring fruits, which, unknown to most people, are edible. The fruits – oval, fire-engine red, with a single stone – look a lot like grocers’ cherries but are not related to them at all. The word “cornelian” refers to the similarity in color of the fruit to cornelian (or carnelian) quartz.

Eat it

Except in recent times, humans have

So much for so little effort

In flavor and appearance, cornelian cherries are very similar to tart cherries. But while tart cherry needs care to fend off pests, you can expect annual harvests from cornelian cherry with little or no attention to spraying. Even

pruning can be more or less dispensed with.

Despite the early bloom, fruit production rarely suffers because of the extended flowering period and the flowers’ inherent tolerance for frost.

The flowers are not completely self-fertile, so cross-pollination increases fruit production. For cross-pollination, plant two different varieties of cornelian cherry. Or convince your neighbor to also plant one.

If you were to wander into forests of eastern Europe and western Asia, where the plant is native, you would find wild cornelian cherries with fruits that are barrel-shaped, pearshaped, oval and round; colors would vary from pink to almost black. You also would taste a range of flavors, in addition to getting twice as much vitamin C as you would from an equal weight of oranges.

Varieties of cornelian cherry available from nurseries generally reflect the plant’s present use mostly as an ornamental. Examples include Golden Glory, an upright, columnar plant; Nana, a dwarf plant; Elegantissima, with creamy white leaf variegations; and Flava, with showy, yellow fruits.

Besides its spring show, cornelian cherry is no slouch the rest of the year.

In winter, the tree maintains a tidy appearance, livened by flaking bark patched with muted shades of tan and gray. Throughout summer, the tree sports healthy, satiny green leaves that, most years, turn mahogany red in the fall.

Cornelian cherry is usually planted strictly as an ornamental, but its fire engine red fruits also are tasty and nutritious.

enjoyed eating these fruits – for the past 7,000 years, in fact. At a site in northern Greece, Neolithic cave dwellers left traces of their meals of cornelian cherry, along with remains of einkorn wheat, barley, lentils and peas. The fruit was popular in ancient Greece and Rome (and the tree provided a durable wood for chariot axles).

By the 18th century, cornelian cherry was common in English gardens, and shops sold rob de cornis, a thickened, sweet syrup of cornelian cherry fruits.

You could find the fruits for sale in European markets even up to the end of the 19th century.

For some reason, cornelian cherry has gone by the wayside; you won’t find it on a supermarket shelf, probably not even at a farmers’ market. That’s the fruit. The tree itself is another story. It’s widely planted, strictly as an ornamental, its red fruits not usually eaten but adding to the visual show in summer

Childhood tics can be treated Dear Dr. K: My young daughter will suddenly blink her eyes or twitch her nose repeatedly, for no good reason. The doctor says she has “tics,” a condition of her nervous system. Will this go away, and is it serious?

Dear Reader: Tics are upsetting – both to the person who has them and to the people who see them. We like to feel in control of our world. A sudden, uncontrollable, rapid repetitive movement (called a motor tic) says we’re not in control. So it’s understandable that both you and your daughter should be concerned.

Tics are pretty common in kids. They are thought to be inherited neurological disorders.

They also can be caused by head injury or certain drugs, such as stimulants.

They are not a psychological problem, although fatigue, anxiety and stress often make symptoms worse.

People with tic disorders describe an urge building up inside them before the tic appears, followed by a feeling of relief after the tic is over. After making an effort to suppress a tic, the person usually has a burst of tics to relieve a buildup of the inner sensation.

If a stimulant medication is causing your daughter’s tic, it might be worth stopping it, or substituting another stimulant drug in its place. Mild tics do not require treatment unless they are socially embarrassing or interfere with your child’s life.

If your daughter is disturbed by her tics, psychological counseling and behavior training can be effective. For example, a child may be taught to recognize that a tic is beginning and perform another movement that is incompatible with the tic.

When both motor and vocal tics are

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff present and last for more than one year, the disorder is named Tourette’s syndrome. This condition often begins in childhood, but continues into adulthood.

Unfortunately, treatment is not always successful.

Several years ago another reader asked me about Tourette’s syndrome, and I recalled a memorable cross-country flight I once took. Every few minutes, the woman sitting next to me would jerk her head and cry out “Eeeahhhh.” I realized she probably had Tourette’s syndrome and couldn’t control it, but I was annoyed: It was going to be hard to concentrate on my reading.

She must have seen my expression because she said: “I’m so sorry, sir, but I have a medical condition that causes this.

I wish I could control it, but I can’t. And I’ve got to get to my sister in Seattle.” I will never forget the expression of shame on her face.

Some people have severe tics that cause them to hurt themselves, by hitting or biting, for instance. Severe tics can be treated with medications that affect certain chemical messengers in the nervous system. A number of other medications, including injections of botulinum toxin (Botox and others), also may be effective.

It is rare for kids with tics to develop Tourette’s syndrome. I’ll bet your daughter’s tics will go away.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Hanging In Miami Dear Left Hanging: When people are in med

school, they must carefully organize their time because the curriculum is demanding.

Things that are not essential are often postponed, and that includes social relationships.

As you said, you and Sarah are not as close as Sarah and her best friend are. While it may sting, look at it as a mature adult and don’t let it drag you down. If Sarah says she’s “swamped,” have faith that when she’s under less pressure, there will be time to re-establish the friendship.

Dear Abby: My husband does not seem to be able to “hit the toilet,” if you know what I mean. I am tired of wiping up the bottom of the toilet seat and the floor. We have talked about this, and he always says he’s sorry and promises to be more careful. Today I told him I am no longer cleaning up the toilet seat or the floor. He misses, he cleans.

What advice do you have to solve this problem? – Better Things To Do In New York Dear Better Things: Keep a roll of paper towels or an extra roll of toilet paper on top of the toilet. When you see your husband’s aim has been sloppy, call him in and have him mop up his mess. If that doesn’t get him to pay more attention, and there is a second bathroom in your home, have him use the other one until he is housebroken.

One of my close friends may be “ghosting” me.

“Sarah” and I have known each other since middle school. We went to high school together and roomed together during our freshman year of college. We both transferred to different schools after that freshman year, but we made it a point to keep in touch. I was the first person she came out to. I helped her move into her new apartment the summer before grad school.

In general, I think I’ve been a good friend to her.

Last summer, we both moved back to our hometown – she for med school and I for a new job. I was excited that after five years we were living in the same city again. I have reached out to her on multiple occasions, but my texts and calls usually go unanswered.

When I do get a response, it’s typically, “Sorry! I’m just too swamped!”

I don’t doubt med school is incredibly difficult, and I completely understand that’s where her focus should be, but over the holidays I reached out once again and was given the same answer. I know she made time to see another friend – her best, who ranks higher than I do in the “who to see” list. It still hurt.

Am I being too sensitive? Too self-centered? I’m worried this is Sarah’s way of breaking ties with me, and I’m just not taking the hint. An outsider’s point of view would really help, even if it’s a harsh truth. – Left

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Weigh the pros and cons of options available to you. Consider what makes you happy, and do what’s best for you. Trying to please everyone else will result in missing out on something that can be life-altering. Put yourself first for a change and see what happens.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Ask questions and do proper follow-up in order to avoid getting involved in something that has little chance of success.

Protect against loss and strive not to be taken for granted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make an effort to get into shape and improve your physical, mental and

emotional well-being. Your efforts will pay off and bring about positive change and compliments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Think matters through before you act. An emotional situation will escalate if you are too quick to make a move. Put greater emphasis on yourself and your achievements.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Show a little discipline in order to avoid a loss. Use your intelligence and experience to guide you in the right direction and help you make the best choices. Trust in yourself, not someone else.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Inevitable changes will cause stress. Try not to fight a losing battle. If you look for the silver lining, you will find a way to turn something you view as negative into a positive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t be afraid to use emotion to get your way. You won’t please everyone, but the result will put you ahead of the competition. Strive for change and perfection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Express your interest in trying something new, but don’t be talked into something you cannot afford or are incapable of doing. Your honesty will help diminish pressure and stress.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll be granted a favor if you ask for it, one that will allow you to make changes that will improve your status or geographical location. Let go of the past and embrace new beginnings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your experience will pay off and help you avoid getting into a dispute.

Don’t waste time on non-negotiable situations when you should be developing relationships with people who think like you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Make changes at home that will improve your mindset as well as your comfort. Don’t try to do everything on your own. Offer incentives and ask for help.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Listen to what friends and relatives have to say. The ideas you get will help you put together a plan that could help you improve your personal life and relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Set a new trend. Be unique and don’t fear what others think or say.

Your confidence will encourage others to follow your lead.

DEL WEBB There was a sizable entry to my latest Christmas Competition. In four hearts, many ducked the first trick, hoping West would not find the club shift. In the real world, that might work, but not in a competition. Only two had the play problem correct: Bob Owens of Slidell, Louisiana, and Paul Simonsen of Vallejo, California.

But Simonsen did better on the subsidiary questions to win the first prize of one month’s subscription to www. bridgeforeveryone.com. Owens gets two weeks.

This deal from Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York, is a good defensive lesson.

In a pair event, North-South pushed into four spades. Given the vulnerability, East should have doubled, hoping to go plus 200 and beat everyone making 130 in diamonds.

West led the diamond ace and continued with the diamond king.

South ruffed, drew trumps, and cashed the clubs, ending in the dummy. Then came a low heart. How should East have analyzed the position?

East should have known that West had started with three spades, six diamonds, two clubs and, therefore, only two hearts. Thus declarer had four hearts. So, it could not cost for East to play low. Then, West would have taken the trick, and the contract would have gone down.

However, East won with his heart king. Now, if he had continued with his low heart (or a diamond, conceding a useless ruff-and-sluff), the contract would still have failed. But he cashed the heart ace, squashing his partner’s queen. Keep counting.

R-B, McHenry aces committed to Louisville

What to watch Utah at Bulls, 7 p.m., WGN Both teams are fighting for the last playoff spot in their respective conferences – the Bulls in the East and the Jazz in the West.

IBCA honors Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig was named third-team all-state in Classes 3A and 4A, while Marian Central’s Adam Pischke and Marengo’s Zach Knobloch were named to the fourth team by the Illinois Basketball Cameron Coaches Association Krutwig on Friday. Krutwig is a junior, and Pischke and Knobloch are seniors.

College choice Richmond-Burton senior Jessie Duncan (left), who plays club volleyball at Club Fusion, recently announced she would play in college at Wisconsin-Platteville.

hen two players, whose high schools are 8 miles apart, both commit to the same NCAA Division I school, some 350 miles away, some common denominator seems likely.

Surely, McHenry junior Bobby Miller and Richmond-Burton sophomore Jake Rosing had some connection to end up committing to Louisville.

A pitching coach, a travel program coach, a scout, someone.

Miller and Rosing have not really met yet, other than their encounter in Tuesday’s season opener. They play on different travel teams and work with different pitching coaches.

The common denominator between the two is simple: They are extremely talented at pitching baseballs.

Miller was a runner-up for Northwest Herald Player of the Year as a sophomore. Rosing was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection as a freshman. Both right-handers will play integral roles as their teams’ aces this season, with opponents knowing runs likely will be at a minimum when Miller or Rosing are on the mound.

Both were on pitch limits Tuesday, a game R-B eventually won, 5-1, in eight innings. Neither was involved with the decision, and neither was disappointed.

Miller threw four innings, striking out 10 and allowing one hit. Rosing pitched three innings, striking out six and allowing one hit. Neither allowed a run. It’s a safe bet that McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler and R-B coach Mike Giese will exude confidence every time their aces’ turns come up in the rotation.

“Bobby works so hard at baseball.

He eats it, breathes it, sleeps it,” Rockweiler said. “They always say you want your best player to be your hardest worker. That’s definitely the case with Bobby.”

Miller committed to Louisville last year and actually got to play there when the Warriors made a trip to Kentucky last season. Miller plays with Elite Baseball Training, and an Elite coach, Rich Ruffolo, is friends with Louisville assistant coach Eric Snider, which got Miller’s recruiting started.

“That was the college I really wanted to go to,” said Miller, a 6-foot-5, 190-pounder who also hits No. 3 for McHenry. “I went to a couple of their

More inside n Five players to watch this season. Page 3 n Team preview capsules. Pages 3-4 camps over the summer, and that’s when I started getting more looks.”

Rosing (6-1, 160) plays with Top Tier, another high-level club in the Chicago area, and Louisville coaches saw him at a showcase last summer.

He committed later in the summer.

“When he came in, we knew he was special,” Rockets coach Mike Giese said. “But we didn’t know how special his potential would be. His biggest strength is his control. He can throw

in any spot at any point in time. I’ve never been around a person who can locate like he does.”

Rosing walked only 11 batters, while striking out 86 in 55 2/3 innings last season. He said he increased his velocity this winter, topping at 89 mph on a speed gun a couple of times.

“Last season, I was a freshman and really didn’t know what to expect,” Rosing said. “This year, I know what’s going on and how to pitch to the batters now.”

Miller singled off Rosing on Tuesday in the first inning, but Rosing came back and struck out Miller in the third.

Baseball: Preview capsules

Crystal Lake Central Coach: Tom Mueller (first season).

Last year’s record: 12-20-1, 5-14 (sixth in FVC Fox).

Top returning players: Fred Birr, P-OF, sr.; Frank Berg, P-3B, sr.; Logan Mensching, OF, sr.; Luke Tevyaw, P-1B, sr.

Top new players: Anthony Mann, C-1B, jr.; Adam Wittenberg, 2B-3B-C, jr.

Worth noting: Mueller takes over as head coach after many years with the program as an assistant. … Birr and Tevyaw, the top starters last season, are back for those roles. … Mensching also is back to help anchor the defense in center field.

Prairie Ridge Coach: Glen Pecoraro (16th season).

Last year’s record: 31-6, 16-2 (FVC Fox champion).

Top returning players: Luke Annen, CF-P, sr.; Jacob Carpentier, OF-1B, sr.; Joey Hanley, P, sr.; Robin Kim, OF, sr.; Hunter Martin, OF, sr.; James Mikolajczewski, SS, sr.; Ethan Routzahn, P, sr.; Nick Schmidt, 2B, sr.; Jon Tieman, 1B-P, sr.

Top new player: Bryce Thelander, 2B-SS, jr.

Worth noting: Prairie Ridge won the most games of any area team last season but was knocked out in its regional by McHenry. The Wolves return some of their top arms from that team with Hanley, Routzahn and Tieman, all of whom will pitch in college. Routzahn is headed for NCAA D-I Dallas Baptist, Tieman to D-I Valparaiso and Hanley to D-III North Central. … Mikolajczewski was a good glove up the middle and hit well in the No. 2 slot for the Wolves (.324, 21 RBIs). Carpentier (.364, 24 RBIs) is another top hitter returning to the lineup.

Woodstock Coach: John Oliveira (ninth season).

Last year’s record: 12-16, 8-11 (tied for third in FVC Fox).

Top returning players: Noah Dehn Franklin, IF, sr.; Justyn Eisenmenger, P-IF, sr.; Jacob Sumner, OF, jr; Blake Waterson,

See CAPSULES, page 4 Worth noting: Northwest Herald Player

Danny Denz Dundee-Crown, P-OF, sr.

Denz (6-foot, 160 pounds) is a tough left-hander who was 7-4 with a 1.75 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 60 innings last season for the Chargers.

A Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection, he signed with NCAA Division I Memphis.

He also hit .315 and drove in 11 runs for D-C last season. Denz’s fastball hits 84 to 86 mph and his breaking pitches give hitters all kinds of trouble.

Brenden Heiss Jacobs, P-OF, sr.

Heiss (6-1, 200) has a big-time power arm and will pitch next year at Arkansas. He had an abbreviated junior season because of elbow soreness but has hit 93 mph on speed guns, according to Prep Baseball Report. The Golden Eagles tied for third in the Class 4A state tournament and will look for Heiss and Johnny Rohde, another pitcher who has hit 90, to lead them back to Joliet.

Bobby Miller McHenry, P-1B, jr.

Miller (6-5, 190) was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection and runner-up to Crystal Lake South’s Garrett Bright for Player of the Year. Miller was a big run producer in the middle of the lineup, hitting .333 with four homers and 32 RBIs, but his future will be on the mound by the time he gets to Louisville. He was 6-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 55 innings last season, with a WHIP of 1.09.

Tyler Pennington Cary-Grove, C-OF, jr.

Pennington (5-11, 210) was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team pick after hitting .346 with two homers and 30 RBIs for the Trojans, who won the FVC Valley Division.

Pennington played catcher for most of his travel baseball career but has not caught in his two high school seasons.

Pennington prefers football and is an NCAA Division I prospect in that sport, although he would receive plenty of interest if he wanted to pursue baseball.

Jake Rosing Richmond-Burton, P-IF, so.

Rosing (6-1, 160) was an All-Area second-team selection as a freshman when he was 4-4 with a 2.64 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings. He walked only 11 batters and allowed 40 hits. Rosing, who committed to Louisville last summer, hit .310 with 15 RBIs last season.

NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: WISCONSIN 47, PITT 43

Badgers trudge into 2nd round

By DAVE SKRETTA

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Nigel Hayes has been to back-to-back Final Fours with Wisconsin, so he was the obvious choice when freshman forward Ethan Happ asked for some advice before his own NCAA tournament debut.

“I said, ‘It’s probably going to be the easiest game of the year for you,’ ” Hayes recalled later, “’because this is the game you look forward to as a kid.

You’re on the big stage and you go out there and you do great if you just have fun playing.’”

Happ took the advice to heart, scoring 15 points and pulling down nine rebounds – none bigger than the one he grabbed in the closing seconds – to help the seventh-seeded Badgers edge No. 10 seed Pittsburgh, 47-43, in their firstround matchup Friday night.

“Defense won the game for us,” said the Badgers’ Bronson Koenig. “We got a couple different guys who had some really big rebounds for us and we got the ball inside and they converted.”

Hayes finished with 12 points and Vitto Brown had 11 for the Badgers (2112), who advanced despite an abhorrent shooting night. Hayes was just 3 for 17 from the field, Koenig failed to hit a 3-pointer for the first time in 44 games and Wisconsin finished 4 of 19 from be-

yond the arc.

It was still enough to reach the next round against No. 2 seed Xavier, which defeated Weber State, 71-53.

Pittsburgh (21-12) had a chance to take the lead in the closing seconds when Hayes missed a 3 and James Robinson took the rebound the other way.

But his wild layup surrounded by defenders bounced off the rim, Happ corralled the loose ball and the Badgers put the game away with three free throws.

“Got the rebound. It was about 2 seconds on the clock. Just tried to get a good shot,” Robinson said, “and I just ran into my own teammate.”

Jamel Artis led the Panthers with 13 points. Leading scorer Michael Young was held to six.

“A lot of teams lost today. A lot of good teams had great seasons and they won’t be in Sweet 16,” Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon said. “You can be as good as you want, but you’ve got to win two in the first weekend and you’ve got to make some plays. But certainly we were in position.”

Wisconsin scored the fewest points by a winning team in an NCAA tournament game since Butler beat Mississippi State, 47-46, in 2003, according to STATS. And the teams combined for the fewest points in a game since Southwest Missouri State beat – surprise! – the Badgers 43-32 in the 1999 tournament.

boycott Wednesday’s game against the Brewers.

“Somebody walked out those doors the other day and it was the wrong guy, plain and simple,” Sale said.

Shortly after Sale’s rant, Sox media relations personnel handed out the first of two statements around the press room at the Sox’s spring training facility: “While I disagree with Chris’ assertions today,” Williams said, “I certainly have always appreciated his passion.”

With an intrigued and impassioned audience watching the Sox from around the world – the LaRoche and son story went international this week – chairman Jerry Reinsdorf issued his statement shortly after Williams, asking people in his organization to refrain from comment until he gets clarity. Sale said the players want clarity from Reinsdorf, who is expected to meet with the team soon.

“This is an internal issue, and we are in the process of holding a number of discussions with players, staff and the front office,” Reinsdorf said.

“I have instructed members of the organization not to talk about this issue and get our focus back on winning

Coming off three losing seasons, the Sox’s focus seemed to be where it needed to be. They were having a very good camp.

Until Tuesday.

“We’re a steam engine going full steam ahead, and [this] kind of derailed it,” Sale said. “We had some positive energy going. There was absolutely no problem in here whatsoever with anyone, and he [Williams] kind of created a problem.”

Sale said manager Robin Ventura was handling the LaRoche and son arrangement as it should have been.

“When it comes to what goes on in the clubhouse, the right person has to handle that, and that’s Robin,” Sale said.

“He’s the top, he’s the leader of this clubhouse ultimately, and if there’s something that needs to be said in here, he can say it. And it’s taken with respect, because he’s fighting with us.

So we have faith in him and we trust him.

“He’s leading the charge. We just don’t have room for outside distractions.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Chris Sale walked into the White Sox’s clubhouse Friday morning and fired away.

At his boss, Sox vice president Ken Williams.

In a scathing and extraordinary 15-minute stand-up before a large contingent of Chicago and national media on hand to cover the Adam LaRoche saga, Sale – who verbally tore into Williams at a team meeting Tuesday – said Williams lied to the team and sent what had been a crisp, upbeat spring training camp riding off the rails. And oh, Sale also said Williams’ actions will scare potential free agents away.

“Lying, plain and simple,” Sale said.

“We got bald-faced lied to by someone we’re supposed to be able to trust.”

The respected ace of the pitching staff and face of the franchise, Sale was livid Tuesday after LaRoche announced he was retiring due to Williams’ changed view on the agreement to allow LaRoche’s son Drake in the clubhouse. What set Sale off? A story from the VP that didn’t add up.

“You can’t come tell the players

it was the coaches [who wanted less of Drake] and tell the coaches it’s the players and then come in and say something completely different,” Sale said.

LaRoche also disputed Williams’ version of events in a statement issued via his Twitter account Friday afternoon, saying he’s walking away Chris Sale because Williams isn’t honoring an agreement the Sox made when he signed as a free agent.

“The 2015 season presented no problems as far as Drake was concerned.

(My bat and our record are another story!),” LaRoche said.

“With all of this in mind, we move toward the current situation which arose after White Sox VP Ken Williams recently advised me to significantly scale back the time that my son spent in the clubhouse. Later, I was told not to bring him to the ballpark at all.”

The Sox, rallying around a teammate, his .207 average and 12 homers while earning $12 million last season notwithstanding, held a sit-in during morning workout hours and wanted to

BLACKHAWKS 4, JETS 0

By MARK LAZERUS

– putting Kane with Jonathan Toews and Ladd and putting Hossa with Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin – paid instant dividends, as Kane blew past Marko Dano and roofed a backhander past Ondrej Pavelec, and Hossa smacked home an Anisimov rebound 26 seconds later. It was Kane’s 39th goal of the season, and the 498th of Hossa’s career. Ladd scored early in the third off a Toews setup, giving the revamped top line two goals in its first four shifts.

While Quenneville said “it’s tempting” to keep Kane and Toews together, he still prefers to keep them apart, reserving the right to use his nuclear option midgame when the situation calls for it. Kane, who is having a career year with Panarin and Anisimov, but who’s always loved playing with Toews, was diplomatic.

“Joel kind of goes off his feel,” Kane said. “I don’t know if it’s anything that will [continue], but if I’m with the two Russians, I’m happy playing with them. If I’m with [Toews], that’s great, too. We’ll see what happens next game.”

WINNIPEG, Manitoba – The Blackhawks entered Friday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets closer to the wild card (and a possible first-round matchup with the imposing Los Angeles Kings) than first place, their four-game losing streak suddenly putting some urgency into their usual late-season cruise into the playoffs.

You wouldn’t have known by the first, oh, 35 minutes or so Friday night. Then Joel Quenneville had a hunch, and it paid off immediately.

Quenneville swapped Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa on the top two lines late in the second period, and the two immediately scored 26 seconds apart as the Hawks got a therapeutic 4-0 win over the last-place Jets.

“It’s one of those things,” Kane said with a laugh. “Sometimes there’s reJohn Woods/The Canadian Press via AP ally nothing going on, looked like we Andrew Ladd throws a puck to a Jets fan were going in [0-0] after two. But to during the pregame skate Friday during his score two there at the end was good for return to Winnipeg, Manitoba, after being us, gives us some confidence.”

Confidence in nearly every aspect traded to the Blackhawks.

after a demoralizing four-game stretch against the Western Conference elite and the red-hot Philadelphia Flyers.

Scott Darling got his first win in more than a month, making 28 saves for his second career shutout – a year to the day of his first in New York.

The Hawks’ beleaguered penalty-kill completely shut down the Jets’ 29thranked power play on all four chances. And after scoring just six goals in their last four games, the Hawks were able to pour it on with goals by Andrew Ladd (the former Jets captain) and Tomas Fleischmann.

It was the kind of beatdown the Hawks are supposed to give to a lastplace team. And with it, the Hawks put some distance (five points) between themselves and the fourth-place Nashville Predators, who lost in Washington Friday night.

“It was huge,” said Darling, making his second straight start with Corey Crawford out with an undisclosed upper-body injury. “It’s all we all wanted, was a win. It didn’t matter how.”

It was an emphatic end after a sleepy start. But Quenneville’s switch
