Good morning, McHenry County ...

Union donates to local Republican

The only local Republican endorsed by a teachers union received financial support from the union’s political action committee last week.

IPACE, the Illinois Political Action Committee for Education, is the political arm of the Illinois Education Association. The PAC gave Carolyn Schofield $53,900 last week.

Schofield, a McHenry County Board member, is one of four candidates in the March 15 Republican primary to replace Mike Tryon in the 66th Illinois House District. Lakewood village trustee Paul Serwatka, East Dundee village trustee Allen Skillicorn and West Dundee village trustee Dan Wilbrandt are the other candidates. None of the remaining three reported any campaign contributions of more than $1,000 last week.

Some contributions of note last week: • Republican circuit judge candidate Demetri Tsilimigras contributed $17,000 to his own campaign. He also received $1,200 from Pro-Life

CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT

ACTOR NOT MOVING TO ILL.

A 46-year-old Crystal Lake man has been charged with sexually assaulting a girl he knew who was younger than age 13.

Crystal Lake police said Ricardo Miron-Pedraza was charged following an Illinois Department of Children and Family Services investigation. He was being held Tuesday on $25,000 bond. Story, page A6.

NO CHANCE FOR BULLS

The Miami Heat put together their best shooting night in franchise history for a 129-111 win over the Bulls on Tuesday. The loss knocked the Bulls out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference, and it was their worst field-goal percentage on defense since the stat began during the 1983-84 season. Story, page B4.

Fresh off his Oscar win for “The Revenant,” you might have heard Leonardo DiCaprio is moving to Woodstock.

He’s not.

Fake news site The McKenzie Post posted a story Tuesday that the 2016 Academy Award winner for Best Actor was “tired of the Hollywood lifestyle” and he “fell in love” with the “relaxed lifestyle and the small town feel of Woodstock” and would be moving there.

The story has been shared and commented on more than 1,700 times and garnered more than 4,500 likes and 3,800-plus comments, according to SharedCount. com, but sadly the story is “pure fantasy” as The McKenzie Post’s about section confirms.

State Rep. Jack Franks (left) and Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Director Louis Kosiba discuss the legality of McHenry County Board pensions.

WORK RECORDS DEFENDED

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com McHenry County Board members defended their work records, and had some choice words, after once again finding themselves in the crosshairs of Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks.

Franks, of Marengo, announced Monday that he planned to ask for a special prosecutor to investigate allegations that board members are not working the 1,000 hours a year required of them to be eligible to receive pensions under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. IMRF Director Louis Kosiba, joined by Franks, told the Northwest Herald on Monday that his office is questioning whether board members are meeting the requirement.

County Board members speak out about pension allegation, question Franks’ motives

Board member John Jung, R-Woodstock, said that Franks should mind the state’s business rather than the county’s, and pointed out the fact that he is one election away from being fully vested in the state pension system for Springfield lawmakers.

“I would think he’s got better things to do than to bring the guy from IMRF up here when the state is pretty much insolvent,” Jung said.

Under state law, McHenry County

government employees must work at least 1,000 hours a year – or about 20 hours a week for 50 weeks – to qualify for IMRF benefits. The County Board in 1997 set a higher standard for its employees – the law otherwise sets a 600-hour annual minimum.

McHenry County received a letter last July from IMRF stating that it had received information calling the workloads into question, spokesman John Krupa said. The letter requested that board members fill out the

disclosure form affirming that they were meeting the threshold. An audit of the county’s participation in IMRF was conducted last fall, and aside from some minor issues, no red flags were raised – the five-page audit makes no mention of board members.

But a passage from IMRF’s own policy manual, which Kosiba himself pointed out, raises questions.

The manual states that, “barring highly unusual circumstances,” people elected to county and township boards and municipal governments will not qualify for IMRF pensions.

Board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, is one of two members who turned down an IMRF pension.

Girl Scouts’ service promise

Daisies collecting donations to send cookies to troops overseas

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Troops overseas and some in the U.S. will be getting a special delivery of Girl Scout cookies from a group of McHenry Daisies for the second year in a row.

About 15 girls in first and second grade make up Troop 272 in McHenry, a group of Daisies who have been collecting donations from around the city to send a piece of home to soldiers, Troop Leader Ashley Smith said, calling the effort “Operation Cookie Drop.”

“Last year, we made enough in donations to send 80 boxes to the troops,” Smith said. “This year, we’ve gotten much more motivated.”

The girls have been out soliciting area

Voice your opinion How many boxes of Girl Scout cookies did you buy this year? Vote online at NWHerald.com. businesses, such as BLC Contracted Services, Bike Haven, and Natural Health and Wellness, among others.

Smith said the girls already have raised enough to send about 200 boxes, or about $730, but their efforts are expected to continue through the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in McHenry, which this year is March 13.

Help has come from all corners of the community, Smith added, saying the UPS Store has donated two boxes of free shipping to help get the boxes to their destinations.

One box is expected to go to troops stationed in Norway and the rest will be driven to the Great Lakes Naval Base, Smith said.

There the girls will be able to disburse the cookies to sailors and meet them face to face.

“I think that being able to make a personal connection for the girls is important,” Smith said. “It will bring it more to life for them. Unless they’ve experienced a family member in the military, they probably don’t have a good idea about what it means.”

During a meeting scheduled for Monday, the girls will be discussing what it means to be a soldier, what the sacrifice is, and why it’s important to thank soldiers by doing things such as Operation Cookie Drop, she said.

Man charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of girl

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A 46-year-old Crystal Lake man remains in McHenry County Jail after police said he sexually assaulted a girl he knew who was younger than 13.

Ricardo Miron-Pedraza, of the 300 block of Terra Cotta Avenue, was arrested Friday, Crystal Lake Deputy Police Chief Tom Kotlowski said. The arrest came a week after the Illinois

Department of Children and Family Services contacted Crystal Lake police about the alleged sexual assault, Kotlowski said.

Kotlowski said police, Ricardo working in conjunction Mironwith the Child AdvocaPedraza cy Center of McHenry County, investigated the case. The investigation included interviewing Miron-Pedraza.

“He provided us with information that supported the case,” Kotlowski said.

Miron-Pedraza was charged with predatory criminal sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 13, a Class X felony.

He is being held on $25,000 bond. If convicted, he faces between six and 30 years in prison.

Miron-Pedraza is next due in court March 16 for a preliminary hearing in front of Judge Sharon Prather.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – A new development coming to the center of Fox Lake will need some help to grow.

Through a partnership with the Fox Lake Fire Protection District, the village of Fox Lake will open a community garden on a 2.3-acre plot of land adjacent to Village Hall at 17 Forest Ave. The village will have 60 plots available for residents of Grant Township to rent for $40, with the first plots being planted April 15, Community Development Director Donovan Day said.

Plots will be in raised beds and each will be about 240 square feet.

Day said the hope is to boost foot traffic downtown while also increasing the availability of local and healthy foods.

“It’s something our downtown and our community overall desperately needs,” Day said.

Battalion Chief Ed Lescher said the district has owned the land, which used to house Forest School, for about three years.

He said the land was intended as the future home of a fire station but has not been used since the district bought it.

City staff have been working on establishing the garden for about six months based on the suggestion from residents.

The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District was dispatched shortly before 9 a.m. to Route 176 west of Barreville Road for a single-vehicle crash, Lt. Ryan Artner said. When crews arrived, they found an SUV that had struck a large tree and was surrounded by smaller trees, he said.

Fire officials removed the woman from the vehicle and a Cary Fire Protection District ambulance took her to Centegra Hospital – McHenry in stable condition, he said. Prairie Grove police were not available for comment.

Fox Lake community development director ment receiving unanimous approval from both boards in the past two weeks, Day said staff and volunteers are working daily on getting the garden ready for this season.

“It made too much sense not to get on it right away,” Day said.

A couple of restaurants are interested in using the plots to grow food they can sell, and several church and volunteer groups also plan to be involved.

Day said city staff will use two of the plots to grow food they can donate to a local food pantry.

The garden also will feature a memorial to fallen firefighters built out of spare fire hydrants.

Day hopes the garden will evolve to include a farmers market, butterfly garden and areas for families to gather.

The village plans to post more information about the community garden in the next week.

meaning by their roots.

So this time of year is especially exciting for those of us who are fans of spelling.

What do I mean? Can’t you hear the buzz? The 2016 McHenry County Spelling Bee takes place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Room B170 at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Twelve area students will be competing for a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May in Washington, D.C. Everyone is welcome to attend the event, which is sponsored by the Northwest Herald, the Regional Office of Education, and McHenry County College. If you can’t make it in person, you can watch it live at NWHerald.com/ video/live.

This year’s contestants are Amari Ahmad, Heineman Middle School; Justin Chase, Mary Endres Elementary; Tagan Gizel, Riverwood Elementary; Christian Graves, Zion Lutheran; Serena Huberty, Richard Bernotas Middle; Ian McEwan, Marengo Middle; Nicholas Mrozek, Nippersink Middle; Ved Patel,

Cary Junior High; Jillian Popovich, St. John the Baptist Catholic; Georgia Sedlack, Olson Elementary; Sajiv Shah, Prairie Grove Junior High; and Anna Webber, Alden-Hebron Middle.

The alternates are Cory Casteneda, Ulysses S. Grant Intermediate School; Mia Hage, Northwood Middle; Josslyn Kmitta, Lord and Savior Lutheran; and Amelia Persons, Spring Grove Elementary.

All of the contestants and alternates are to be commended for making it this far. That’s quite an accomplishment. It’s a testament to the long hours they (and probably their parents) put in to memorize long lists of words, taking time to learn word origins and how those words are used.

Sure, it’s a lot of work for a contest, but no doubt those lessons will bring lifelong benefits when they have to write essays, apply for jobs or communicate effectively.

Spelling counts. And it counts even more for our spelling bee contestants.

Best wishes to them all.

LOCAL NEWS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Spelling counts, or so our teachers always told us. Of course, they also meant it. If we spelled something wrong, it wound up being circled in red ink for all to see.

Over the years, no doubt a few of us have tried to convince ourselves that spelling isn’t really that big of a deal. All we need to do is get our meaning across.

That argument certainly seems to have received a boost as text messaging and social media have put a premium on brevity, spawning all manner of abbreviations and shortcuts.

However, if we’re honest, we still judge people’s intelligence by their ability to spell. Ever caught a spelling mistake on a sign? What’s your first thought? Hiring managers do it all the time when looking at resumes. In some circles, one spelling error will disqualify the candidate.

Credibility, it seems, is tied to one’s ability to spell correctly. So that means for a lot of us, correct spelling is a hurdle to overcome, a burden to be borne.

For others, however, spelling is a world of wonder, a mind-expanding trip around the world and a vocabulary-boosting journey of discovery.

For word nerds everywhere, there’s joy in dissecting unfamiliar words to see whether we can discern their

Man indicted on child porn charges Faces prison for transport, access of material NORTHWEST HERALD

ROCKFORD – A federal grand jury indicted a McHenry man Tuesday in Rockford on multiple child pornography charges, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois announced.

Michael L. Chaparro, 27, was charged with one count of transporting child pornography via the Internet and two counts of accessing child pornography that had crossed state lines, including an image of a prepubescent minor and a minor younger than 12, with intent to view the child pornography, said a release from U.S. Attorney Zachary T. Fardon.

Transporting child pornography carries a minimum sentence of five years and a maximum of 20 years in

prison.

Accessing child pornography comes with a maximum of 10 years in prison and up to 20 years for an offense involving a minor younger than 12. Each count carries a $250,000 maximum fine, as well.

Chaparro will appear for arraignment at 11 a.m. Thursday in federal court in Rockford before U.S. Magistrate Iain D. Johnston.

Along with Fardon, the indictment was announced by Special Agent-inCharge of the Chicago FBI Office Michael Anderson. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office helped with the investigation.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael D. Love.

LOCAL BRIEFS Cary man cited after 3-vehicle crash on Route 14

CARY – A Cary man was cited after a three-vehicle crash that shut down a portion of Route 14 in Cary for 20 to 30 minutes Tuesday, police said.

The crash occurred at 12:16 p.m. in the 300 block of Route 14, Cary Deputy Police Chief Jim Fillmore said.

There were no injuries, but 30-yearold Sufiyan Alam was cited for driving too fast for conditions, Fillmore added.

“He lost control of his BMW. It started to fishtail and he tried to correct that motion but ended up going sideways,” he said. “The other vehicle, a minivan, ended up striking him because [the BMW] went into its lane and the third vehicle hit him, too.”

Fillmore said he was not sure how fast Alam was going, but the speed limit in that area is 35 mph. All three vehicles were traveling west on Route 14.

A slew of crashes piled up after snowy conditions hit McHenry County, but Fillmore said driving conditions seemed to be improving

as of Tuesday afternoon.

“Right now, they’re looking OK, like the salt applications are doing their jobs,” he said. “Hopefully, the commutes home will be OK.” – Northwest Herald

Lakemoor plans special patrols for St. Patrick’s Day

LAKEMOOR – The police will conduct special patrols this St. Patrick’s Day as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.

During the crackdown, which was announced Monday, officers will be looking for drunken drivers and stepping up seat belt enforcement, particularly at night when seat belt usage rates are lowest.

Police urge those drinking at St. Patrick’s Day parties to designate a sober driver or call a friend or cab for a ride home.

Pedestrians should keep an eye out for cars, and designated drivers should be alert for impaired walkers who may not obey street signs, police said.

Don’t say goodbye to winter weather yet

now begins to fall Tuesday afternoon on Route 31 near Tek Drive in Crystal Lake. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible Wednesday, mainly coming after midnight, according to the National Weather Service.

While he questioned Franks’ motives and his timing – the announcement came two weeks before the primary – he said board members are going to have to prove they’re working the 1,000 hours required. Two other board members are collecting IMRF through previous government jobs and are not signed up through the county.

“There are going to be a lot of people who are going to have to show their work,” Gasser said.

Franks as part of his argument tallied up the hours that board members spent in meetings last year to help prove his point, arguing that they don’t come close. But that doesn’t tell the whole story – for example, the County Board chairman does not sit on any of the standing committees in which much of county government’s work gets done, but often is conducting county business.

The IMRF counts meeting attendance, preparing for meetings, talking with constituents and employees, and attendance at civic functions in an official capacity as being “on the clock.” Hours that board members are commuting to meetings and functions, or the idea of being “on call” for constituents, do not count.

Board member Chuck Wheeler, R-McHenry, said he definitely meets the 1,000-hour threshold when preparation

and constituent outreach is added.

“This is a very difficult job for any citizen to hold when they have another job,” said Wheeler, who owns a health insurance business. “The flexibility needed is tremendous.”

He, too, questioned Franks’ motives, and chalked it up to getting attention for what Wheeler predicted will be a tight re-election race for the Democratic representative. Franks has butted heads with the County Board before, on issues from property tax relief to making the board chairmanship popularly elected.

Board member Michele Aavang, R-Woodstock, said that a number of projects, from the revised stormwater ordinance to the completion and ratification of the Unified Development Ordinance and its subsequent review and revision, easily bring participating board members to meeting the work requirement.

“I’m not complaining, because it’s part of the job, but we put in lots of time on these projects,” Aavang said.

Pensions under IMRF are calculated by a percentage for every year worked based on an employee’s highest average earnings during a certain time period in the last decade of service.

At a salary of $21,000 a year, a board member’s pension does not add up to much – IMRF participants contribute 4.5 percent of each paycheck into the system. Defrauding IMRF is a Class 3 felony. Eligibility for an IMRF pension is automatically revoked with any felony conviction, Kosiba said.

Question on sales tax hike to be on ballots Officials: Money would be used for capital plan, including road maintenance

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Johnsburg residents will see a referendum question on their ballots March 15 asking whether voters support raising the sales tax by 0.5 percent on goods purchased in town.

The village’s need for funds to support road resurfacing and other underfunded capital items and a survey in which village residents said they supported the idea are part of what prompted village officials to add the referendum, according to a letter from Village President Edwin Hettermann to Johnsburg residents.

The sales tax would increase from the current sales tax of 7 percent to 7.5 percent, which represents an increase in the rate of 7.14 percent. Village officials expect the higher rate would bring in about $600,000 a year in additional revenue.

STATE

Pension buyout proposals considered The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers want to hold additional hearings to discuss how to proceed with a pair of similar bills aiming to deal with the state’s pension debt.

The state House Personnel and Pensions Committee held its first meeting Monday on the two proposals. Members of the committee, such as Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, said more hearings needed to be held so their questions could be answered.

Both plans would allow members of the five state-funded retirement systems to take a lump-sum payout at retirement and forgo regular pension payments. The goal is to give them

Homicides, shootings in city double over same period in ’15

CHICAGO – Homicides and shootings have doubled in Chicago so far this year compared with the same period in 2015, and police have seized fewer illegal guns – more possible signals that officers have become less aggressive in the aftermath of a shooting video released last fall.

Interim Police Superintendent John Escalante said Tuesday that he was so concerned about officers possibly holding back that he filmed a video for the entire department in which he encouraged them to do their jobs and assured them that a federal probe of the force was not aimed at individuals.

“We are aware that there is a concern among the rank and file about not wanting to be the next YouTube video that goes viral,” Escalante said in the video before introducing a segment of his own to remind viewers “why we took this job and swore this oath of office.”

The statistics come almost exactly three months after the city, on the orders of a judge, released the video of Jason Van Dyke, a white officer, firing 16 shots at Laquan McDonald, a black teen killed in 2014. Since that day, Van Dyke has been charged with murder, and Superintendent Garry McCarthy has been fired.

Legislature: Illinois revenue to grow less than 1 percent

SPRINGFIELD – Legislative analysts predict that Illinois revenue will grow only by $200 million this year – less than 1 percent.

The bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability’s figure released Tuesday is significantly lower than Gov. Bruce Rauner’s prediction. A commission report said the Republican governor counts $925 million in revenue that “can be described in varying degrees from being unlikely to uncertain.”

A Rauner spokeswoman didn’t immediately comment.

The report said the administration counts on $500 million in federal Medicaid reimbursement under an obsolete formula, $200 million from a possibly complex sale of the Thompson Center state office building in Chicago; and sweeping the state’s “rainy day” fund of $275 million. The commission said job losses and wage weakness contribute to lowered income and sales tax revenue.

Ballot challenge against Cruz tossed by Ill. judge

CHICAGO – A judge has dismissed a claim that Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz isn’t eligible for the Illinois ballot because he was born in Canada.

Cook County Circuit Court Judge Maureen Ward Kirby tossed the case on a technicality Tuesday.

Kirby said the suburban Chicago attorney who filed the complaint, Lawrence Joyce, failed to give a copy of it to Cruz or state electoral board members, as required by Illinois law. Instead, Joyce served only lawyers representing Cruz and the board.

Joyce said the Texas senator can’t be president because he wasn’t born in the U.S. Cruz and some legal experts say he’s eligible because his mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born.

Joyce said he’ll decide whether to appeal after seeing how Cruz fares in Super Tuesday primaries.

Medical marijuana sales nearly $1.5M in February

CHICAGO – Illinois medical marijuana shops had their best month yet in February with nearly $1.5 million in sales, bringing total retail sales to more than $4.4 million since the program began Nov. 9.

Program director Joseph Wright announced Tuesday that registered dispensaries served 3,042 unique patients during February. Two new dispensaries joined the program last month, raising the total to 29 shops as of Monday.

But Rep. Robert Martwick, D-Chicago, said he wants to be sure there are protections included in any plan to prevent employees, especially those not eligible for Social Security, from taking out money out and squandering it.

“What if they make a bad decision and they get wiped out?” he said.

Bill sponsors said the plan would be completely voluntary and open to all of the pension systems covering judges, lawmakers, state employees, downstate teachers and university workers.

Representatives of those systems said Monday that they’re willing to work with lawmakers on fleshing out the proposals.

Wright said about 4,800 Illinois patients now qualify for the program.

Marijuana wholesalers pay a 7 percent tax to the state. Wholesale sales reported Tuesday indicate growers paid roughly $83,000 in taxes on sales for February.

Concentrates and edibles became more available, contributing more than $362,000 to total February sales.

Weather creates slippery conditions for jets at O’Hare

CHICAGO – Snowy conditions at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport have led to a small jet sliding off a runway and a commercial jet sliding on a taxiway.

A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said an Embraer Phenom E55P flown by private operator NetJets slid off a runway around noon Tuesday. A Chicago Aviation Department spokeswoman said the plane originally was headed to Executive Airport in Wheeling but landed at O’Hare.

No injuries were reported. The Embraer Phenom carries up to nine occupants.

The FAA spokeswoman said a short time later, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 operated by American Airlines requested to be towed to the terminal after sliding on a taxiway.

The city Aviation Department said more than 375 flights have been canceled at O’Hare because of snow and freezing rain.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Bin Laden worried wife had iPhone encryption has deadlocked tracking device in mouth in the courts, law enforcement

WASHINGTON – Hiding in Pakistan, an increasingly paranoid Osama bin Laden suspected Iran of implanting a tracking device in his wife’s mouth and drafted a will directing much of his $29 million fortune to be spent on jihad after his death.

The details about the al-Qaida leader’s life were released Tuesday in a second batch of letters and other documents seized in a May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden at his secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The letters detail his rift with militants who later broke off from al-Qaida and formed the Islamic State, as well as plans for a media blitz to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Other correspondence resonates with suspicion and fear.

In a letter to one of his wives who lived in Iran, bin Laden expressed worry that her dental appointment could have allowed Iranians to implant a tracking device under her skin.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Tuesday at the White and Gold Ballroom at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie listens.

Trump, Clinton claim big Super Tuesday wins The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton swept through the South on Super Tuesday, claiming victory in their parties’ primaries in delegate-rich Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia.

The front-runners appeared ever more likely to end up in a general election showdown.

On the Republican side, Ted Cruz won his home state of Texas, the night’s single biggest prize, as well as neighboring Oklahoma to keep his campaign alive. Democrat Bernie Sanders picked up his home state of Vermont, as well as Oklahoma, Colorado and Minnesota, but failed to broaden his appeal with minority voters who are crucial to the party in presidential elections.

The night belonged to Trump and Clinton, who turned the busiest day of the 2016 primaries into a showcase of their strength with a wide swath of American voters. Each candidate won seven states – most in the South but also in New England – with only the results of Alaska’s Democratic caucus still to come.

Signaling her confidence, Clinton set her sights on Trump as she addressed supporters during a victory rally.

“It’s clear tonight that the stakes in this election have never been higher and the rhetoric we’re hearing on the other side has never been lower,” she said.

Trump, too, had his eye on a general election matchup with the former secretary of state,

casting her as part of a political establishment that has failed Americans.

“She’s been there for so long,” Trump said at his swanky Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“If she hasn’t straightened it out by now, she’s not going to straighten it out in the next four years.”

Clinton also picked up wins in Texas, Arkansas and Massachusetts, nabbing her first victory in New England, while Trump carried GOP contests in Arkansas, Massachusetts and Vermont.

Trump’s dominance has rattled Republican leaders, who fear he’s unelectable against Clinton in November. Even as Trump professed to have good relationships with his party’s elite, he issued a warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who declared earlier in the day that “this party does not prey on people’s prejudices.”

Trump said that if the two don’t get along, “he’s going to have to pay a big price.”

But all efforts to stop Trump have failed, including an aggressive campaign by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to discredit the billionaire businessman.

For Rubio, Super Tuesday turned into a bitter disappointment. He emerged with his first victory in Minnesota but failed to live up to the wider hopes of the numerous Republican officeholders who have promoted him as the party’s best alternative to Trump.

With an eye on Florida’s March 15 primary, Rubio vowed to keep up efforts to “unmask the true nature of the front-runner in this race.”

22 ANALYSIS

Super Tuesday becomes disappointment

By DAN BALZ

The Washington Post The window for stopping Donald Trump closed almost completely Tuesday night, leaving the demoralized anti-Trump forces with two weeks and no agreed-upon strategy for denying the New York billionaire the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump was on his way to a series of victories in a majority of the 11 contests that made up the biggest single primary-caucus night of the nominating season. His remaining rivals – Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Gov. John Kasich – and their allies were left to cling to the flimsiest of hopes that a reversal of his fortunes still lies on the near horizon.

For Rubio, the hope of many in the establishment, Super Tuesday turned into a super disappointment. He made a run at Trump in Virginia but fell short.

Late Tuesday, he was declared the winner in the Minnesota caucuses. Still, that left his win-loss record this year at 1-14. Meanwhile, he was running third in at least half the states, and in some of those states his percentage of the vote was low enough that he was in danger of winning few or no delegates.

Rubio has been described by many as the future of his party. His performance to date instead has reinforced his image as a politician who has not lived up to that potential. Were it not for the Washington suburbs in Northern Virginia, where a well-educated and government-connected electorate gave him support strong enough to place second, his bad day would have been even more dispiriting.

Despite five days of relentless attacks on Trump, which started at last week’s GOP debate in Houston and carried through a raucous weekend of campaigning, Rubio was not able to deliver significant results. He scored well

For the GOP establishment, Super Tuesday had nightmarish qualities.

Not only did Trump tighten his grip on the nomination, but the only candidate who has been able to beat him more than once so far is Cruz, the nemesis of Republican congressional leaders and what the Texas senator likes to call the “Washington cartel.” In a choice between Trump and Cruz, many who could be counted as part of that establishment would be hard-pressed to declare a preference.

What is remarkable is that the anti-Trump forces only recently awoke to the reality that Trump was on track to take the nomination. Instead, Trump has awakened a voting bloc that has soured on the party leadership. As he has continued to win, his support has continued to grow.

Obama, lawmakers talk Supreme Court vacancy

By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After an Oval Office sit-down Tuesday did nothing to move Republican Senate leaders off their hard line against a Supreme Court nomination, Democrats pulled out another weapon in the heated election-year fight: Donald Trump.

In a White House meeting that lasted less than an hour, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told President Barack Obama that any confirmation process during a presidential campaign would politicize the court.

They offered up no potential candidates that would win their backing and no route to filling the seat.

“This vacancy will not be filled this year,” McConnell told reporters after the meeting.

Democrats accused Republicans of trying to hold the seat open so that a Republican president can fill it. That president could be Trump, they noted, hoping to needle a GOP establishment uncomfortable with the prospects of Trump presidency.

The meeting – which also included Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the ranking Democrat on the judiciary committee – was the first time the leaders have met since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death last month set off a high-stakes clash over the Supreme Court vacancy.

While the men huddled at the White House, voters in 12 states were preparing to weigh in on a presidential contest that has tanked Obama’s chances of filling the seat – but also given Democrats a new line of attack.

As they emerged from the meeting, they quickly linked the GOP strategy to the Republican front-runner poised to pick up significant momentum Tuesday night.

“All we want them to do is fulfill their constitutional duty and do their job, and at this stage, they decided not to do that,” Reid said. “They think that they can wait and see what President Trump will do, I guess.”

Reid’s comments were aimed at riling up Democrats, as well as moderate and establishment Republicans who cringe at the thought of the unpredictable celebrity candidate controlling the future of the court.

It was an early sign that with formalities – such as awkward White House meetings – dispensed with, the fight over the court was largely a battle for public opinion.

“Whether everybody in the meeting today wanted to admit it, we all know that considering a nomination in the middle of a heated presidential campaign is bad for the nominee, bad for the court, bad for the process, and ultimately bad for the nation,” Grassley said in his statement about the meeting. “It’s time for the people to voice their opinion about the role of the Supreme Court in our constitutional system of government.”

President Barack Obama meets Tuesday with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (center) of Kentucky and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in the Oval Office of the White House to discuss the Supreme Court vacancy.

ALTOONA, Pa. – Two Catholic bishops who led a small Pennsylvania diocese helped cover up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children by more than 50 priests and other religious leaders over a 40-year period, according to a grand jury report that portrays the church as holding such sway over law enforcement that it helped select a police chief.

The 147-page report issued Tuesday on sexual abuse in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, home to nearly 100,000 Roman Catholics, was based partly on evidence from a secret diocesan archive opened through a search warrant over the summer.

In announcing the findings, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said the diocese’s two previous bishops “placed their desire to avoid public scandal over the well-being of children.”

No criminal charges are being filed in the case because some abusers have died, the statute of limitations has expired, or victims are too traumatized to testify, she said.

Of the victims, Kane said: “Their souls were killed as children. They weren’t out playing baseball; they were trying to avoid priests.”

The report was especially critical of Bishops James Hogan and Joseph Adamec. Hogan, who headed the diocese from 1966 to 1986, died in 2005.

Adamec, who succeeded him, retired in 2011.

Adamec cited possible self-incrimination in refusing to testify before the grand jury. But in a court filing, his attorney said the accusations against the 80-year-old Adamec are unfounded. He required 14 priests accused under his

watch to undergo psychiatric evaluation, the filing said. Nine of them were suspended or removed from ministry, and the five who were reinstated never re-offended, his attorney wrote.

“Bishop Adamec’s handling of abuse allegations has no similarity to other clergy abuse scandals,” his attorney wrote.

The current bishop, Mark Bartchak, is not accused of any wrongdoing. He recently suspended a few priests named as alleged abusers in the report, although the grand jury said it remains “concerned the purge of predators is taking too long.”

In a statement, Bartchak said: “I deeply regret any harm that has come to children.”

The clergy sex abuse crisis erupted in 2002, when The Boston Globe reported that the Boston Archdiocese had transferred child-molesting priests from parish to parish to protect them.

Similar scandals involving hundreds of offenders and victims have since erupted across the U.S. and beyond.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops estimates that American dioceses have paid nearly $4 billion since 1950 to settle claims with victims.

The Altoona-Johnstown report said that the abuse was committed in such places as campsites, confessionals, an orphanage and the cathedral, and that Hogan covered up allegations by transferring offending priests, including one who was sent to a school for boys.

One diocesan official under Hogan, Monsignor Philip Saylor, told the grand jury that church officials held such clout in the eight-county diocese that “the police and civil authorities would often defer to the diocese” when priests were accused of abuse, the report said.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Higher education system vulnerable One of the drivers of a healthy economy is an excellent college and university system.

Illinois has a mix of public and private universities and community colleges that educate citizens.

Major research universities, such as the University of Illinois, can spin off job-producing companies at an astounding rate. But that system has been one of the many victims of overspending at the state level and the state’s ongoing budget impasse. Across the nation, tuition has increased at a rate much higher than inflation.

Parents and students who pay college tuition struggle to keep up.

Add to that the state’s budget impact on universities and colleges, including a lack of solid funding and the uncertainty over MAP grants.

The immediate results are easy to see. Eastern Illinois University in Charleston has said it will lay off hundreds of faculty and staff members. Chicago State Univer-

sity has canceled spring break and says it is concerned about meeting payroll and other bills the rest of the year.

The more far-reaching effect amounts to a “brain drain,” as high school students leave the state for educational opportunities that are less expensive.

A 2013 study found nearly 40 percent of the most recent high school graduates left the state to attend college. At the University of Missouri, 20 percent of the freshman class is made up of Illinois residents.

Students and parents are finding it is less expensive, in many cases, to pay out-of-state tuition.

That’s especially disheartening if you consider many parents have paid taxes to the public university system for years and will continue to pay into that system long after their children have graduated. But instead of having their children, or grandchildren, attend college in their home state, they

are obligated financially to send them to a neighboring state.

Public universities are not blameless in allowing the cost of higher education to skyrocket, and students, parents and taxpayers often have been treated like bottomless wallets.

Universities need to understand they must lower their costs.

State government needs to solve its budget issues and provide a reliable spending plan for universities and community colleges.

Financial aid programs, such as MAP grants, need to stabilize and funded at a level so students can depend on that aid.

The biggest problem with students leaving Illinois is they often don’t return, taking new-found knowledge and skills to the state where they received their college education. It is those states that are benefiting from the bright students who create new companies and new jobs.

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.

He was hit while on the job after he pulled his truck over to the side of the road in Marengo to change a windshield wiper. I miss my Dad and the love and laughter he gave us.

Patrick Kenneally was the prosecutor on the case. Patrick is a very competent man who always made sure we as a family understood what was happening with my Dad’s case. He made sure my family got the justice we deserved.

I will be voting for Patrick on March 15. He is the best man for state’s attorney.

The Rials entered this country during the 1760s from Scotland, with both David and Isaac Rial serving in the New Jersey militia during the Revolutionary War. During the Civil War, John Rial served the Union. He fought at Gettysburg, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg and later lost his leg at the battle of Cold Harbor. William Rial served during World War I and World War II, earning a commission as a lieutenant.

Jim Rial served on the Lake Champlain aircraft carrier during WWII. When the call came, Jim Rial Jr. served for more than 30 years with the CIA. The Rials through generations have proven their love for this country through sacrifice and service. Now my mother, Kay Rial Bates, a descendant of this Rial clan, feels the call to serve.

yearly pension increases of at least 3 percent to themselves and hundreds of thousands of state retirees when Social Security and retired military personnel received no cost-of-living adjustment increase in 2016 and the average yearly COLA increase for those millions of people from 2009 to 2016 is 1.21 percent, retain.

Yeah, go ahead, dear voters, and blindly continue to put in the same old politicians some of you gripe about right back into office.

Vote for Rickert

To the Editor: On March 15, the people of Illinois again will be given the opportunity to vote and choose our leaders. This is a right we all should exercise.

Two seats are up for grabs in the race for McHenry County Board in District 3.

It is time for change and a fresh perspective. For those reasons and many more, we would encourage the community to vote for Cherie Rickert.

Cherie is an incredibly dedicated resident of McHenry County. She’s made her home here and raised her kids here.

She has served the community as a nurse, as a school administrator and as a volunteer. Her love for McHenry County and her desire to make things better for everyone makes her the perfect candidate for County Board.

Cherie is hard-working, compassionate, diligent and open-minded. Vote for Cherie Rickert on March 15.

To the Editor: Integrity and legal ability are important attributes for the office of state’s attorney. The state’s attorney is invested with broad discretion when assessing not only the many criminal cases prosecuted by the office, but also the legal merits of the county’s position in sometimes complicated and far-reaching civil issues.

As a retired circuit judge, on the bench for almost 21 years, I had the opportunity to observe Dan Regna during his time as an assistant state’s attorney. He always was prepared and represented the state and county in a professional and highly competent manner. His legal arguments were consistently sound and fair. He now has accumulated additional civil experience, which only can enhance his abilities.

The people of McHenry County would be well-served by electing Dan Regna as state’s attorney.

Property taxes of $331,154.94 went unpaid. Landscaping ceased. According to the 2014 tax bill, the facility, which cost tens of millions of dollars to construct, now has a fair market value of $7,703,370.

We should stop waiting and hoping.

The time has come for the city of Harvard (in conjunction, perhaps, with the county) to exercise its powers of eminent domain and take control of the campus.

A team of advocates – the McHenry County Economic Development Commission, the state, the county and the city of Harvard – then could retain experts to market the property smartly and aggressively across the nation and throughout the world.

How wonderful it would be if the facility could be returned to its highest and best use: a plant employing thousands.

Would public monies be required? Not if a company purchases it outright. Similarly, prospective developers working on a build-to-suit basis could include the price of the property in their bids.

We must take our economic future into our own hands and not leave it to chance. We the taxpayers helped to build the Motorola plant. We the taxpayers now should direct its destiny.

TV executives in the U.S. and Canada have argued the best value for your money comes through packages of hundreds of channels. Full channel choice, or a la carte, is due in Canada by the end of the year.

Will TV bills rise with choice?

Canada is about to find out

By RYAN NAKASHIMA The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Can you save money if you pay only for the TV channels you watch? The question will be put to a real-world test in Canada starting Tuesday.

TV executives in the U.S. and Canada long have argued the best value for your money comes through packages of hundreds of channels. You might not want every football game or Korean drama, but you usually can find something to watch when you plop down on the couch. When everyone buys a big package of channels, the cost of each is spread thin. Your monthly cable bill reflects that lower per-channel cost, even if you watch only a few channels.

Although you might gripe about paying for all the channels you never watch, the price of each channel could rise a lot if fewer people chose to pay for each one individually. The industry also has resisted offering full choice because overall subscription and advertising revenue could decline. Some channels might not survive.

“We don’t sell it alone right now because we generate more revenue by being in a larger package,” ESPN President John

Skipper said at the recent Code Media conference. Asked whether the leading sports network would cost too much on its own given the rising cost of sports rights, he replied that was “just a hypothetical and ultimately, specious mathematical problem.”

Today, there are more alternatives to traditional TV than ever. Millions of U.S. households have dropped big pay TV packages in the past few years and have turned to online services such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO Now. The question is: Who will win and lose if every channel goes it alone?

The first step in Canada’s government-mandated plan is partial. At first, pay TV providers only have to offer slimmeddown basic package for $25, with theme packs such as sports or entertainment channels as add-ons. Some U.S. cable and satellite companies already are starting to offer slimmer packages, such as Sling TV from Dish for $20 a month.

Full channel choice, or a la carte, is due in Canada by the end of the year. In the U.S., you can buy only certain networks a la carte such as HBO, Showtime and CBS, which are offered online. A U.S. regulatory push for an a la carte system died in 2007,

but might be revived if the Canadian plan catches on.

“We will find out as this whole system rolls out, are you really going to pay less money? Or are you going to pay a hell of a lot more for (sports network) TSN than you thought?” said Lawson Hunter, a former Bell Canada executive who has criticized the unbundling plan.

Ali Yurukoglu, a Stanford economics professor, co-authored an a la carte simulation paper in 2011. In it, TV customers cut the number of channels they received in half, to about 20. But after the surviving channels renegotiated deals with cable operators, consumers had to pay twice as much for each channel. People ended up paying 2 percent more overall.

“Our predictions were that the average consumer would be no better and no worse off,” he said.

Ahead of the Canadian rollout, major cable operator Rogers Communications began offering two sports add-ons – TSN and Sportsnet – at $18 each, bringing a sports fan’s bill to a minimum $61 a month, not much below the $66 a month for a similar sports-included package that has 230 more channels.

Voter anxiety at odds with economists’ optimism

Spring rapidly is approaching with longer daylight and flowers blooming. It’s the time for new beginnings and opportunities to start fresh. Farmers soon will be tilling the soil in preparation for growing crops.

Just like farmers who till the soil, we too can prepare ourselves by taking advantage of educational and networking events throughout the region.

MCEDC is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2016. During the past 25 years, MCEDC has worked to create a positive environment for business growth, making McHenry County a great place to start a business, run a business, maintain a business or expand a business.

MCEDC also has provided the community with the benefits of an expanded tax base, primary and secondary job opportunities. It takes many touchpoints, a great deal of outreach, tremendous collaboration and leadership to mold a positive environment for business.

Regarding touchpoints, we host our “Makers Movement Meetup” from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Monday at our office in Crystal Lake. To build a makers movement right here in the county, we are gathering inventors, designers, tinkerers and artisans, along with mentors who have experience and expertise to share, and

WASHINGTON – The insurgent presidential bids of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have roused Americans who are angry and anxious about an economy they believe has left them behind.

Most economists have a brighter view.

They say that while many people haven’t benefited much since the recession ended, a stronger economy lies ahead.

An Associated Press survey of nearly three dozen economists found a majority thinks the U.S. remains resilient enough to defy a global slump and the sinking stock markets that have raised fears of a new U.S. recession. With job growth solid, higher wages and spending should offset global threats and support growth, they said.

A majority said they thought stock investors have overreacted to sharply lower oil prices and a slowdown in China. They foresee only a 19 percent chance the U.S. economy will fall into recession within 12 months.

Perhaps most notably in a political season that’s sparked a polarizing debate on immigration, the economists overwhelmingly described legal immigrants as a plus for the economy. They noted immigrants are disproportionately young

and help expand the workforce, which fuels growth, and immigrants are more likely to start businesses than Americans as a whole are.

Yet according to a Gallup survey released this month, Americans are more likely to name the economy as the country’s top problem than they are anything else. A quarter of those surveyed listed their chief concern as either the economy in general or unemployment and jobs.

Other polls have found a majority of Americans even think the economy remains in recession, even though the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.

So what explains the gap between the optimism of economists and the anxieties of voters?

For one thing, sluggish pay growth means many people are struggling even as broad gauges of the economy are improving.

For another, the economic recovery, which followed a devastating recession, has been unusually slow. Many people feel they’ve yet to regain their former living standards. In addition, some parts of the country haven’t recovered as well as the nation as a whole has.

“I can say the economy is in good shape, but I can understand why many people are ticked off and say it’s not, be-

cause their wages haven’t grown,” said Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisers.

The typical household’s annual income sank during the recession and didn’t regain its prerecession level until November 2015, according to Sentier Research.

That’s a much slower, more painful pace than occurred after previous recessions.

“It’s been six or seven years, and we’re only now where we should have been after two years,” said Tim Hopper, chief economist for TIAA-CREF. “We have not seen the typical growth rates in income and employment.”

Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, noted the recovery has occurred unevenly around the country. Falling oil prices have brought widespread layoffs in oil-producing states, but high-tech hubs such as San Francisco, Denver and Salt Lake City are booming.

More than 50 million Americans live in areas that kept losing jobs and businesses through the first half of the recovery, according to a report by the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan think tank backed by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

Hiring, income and business growth has been concentrated in wealthier ZIP codes, the report found. In the median-income ZIP code, job growth matched only half the pace of the national average.

OSCARS BLACK VIEWERSHIP SAW 2 PERCENT DECLINE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 2016

Jay Z was first to request custom color from Pantone institute NEW YORK – Barbie has her own color (pink). So does Tiffany (blue), Gap (also blue), Coach (brown) and even the roly poly Minions (yellow), but rare is the individual who cares deeply enough about a shade to have one custom made.

At the Pantone Color Institute, the privilege doesn’t come cheap. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars for the company to come up with just the right one. So why would an actual person, rather than a business, even bother? Only two, at least in the Pantone client books, actually have.

Jay Z was the first, back in 2007.

He introduced his “Jay Z” pearly blue – mixed with platinum dust – on a limited edition GM Yukon Denali later that year in Detroit. The head of a marketing firm he was working with brought along a piece of the hip hop mogul’s motorcycle as a guide when meeting with Pantone.

Blue (daughter Blue Ivy, blue jewels, blue jackets, the Blueprint albums) had been a favorite, but his Pantone color code name is confidential, said Laurie Pressman, a Pantone vice president.

Who else has the color honor with Jay Z? Her name is Sherry Chris, president and chief executive of a New Jersey real estate firm, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. She used a scarf at Pantone for her bright pink in 2011 and Chris couldn’t be prouder of her color card: SC2011.

So what do they get besides a card and a code? They get formulas. How many and for what uses depends on what they want to do. Consistency over different fabrications, from paper stock for stationery to fabrics for fashion to paint to metal, is key.

“Both of them were very clear on

Chris, like Jay Z, has requested custom colors from the Pantone Color Institute.

what they wanted in their signature shades,” Pressman said. “When somebody comes with a very clear idea of what they’re looking for, that shade definitely has meaning for them.”

Pantone has a vast color wheel, but you can forget finding “Jay Z Blue” or SC2011 in any swatch or Pantone color guide available for public consumption.

But Pressman has plenty of ways to describe Jay’s blue, a combination of sky and cobalt.

“I would describe that shade as a mesmerizing blue. There’s a pearlescent quality to that blue. There’s a magnetic quality to that blue. It’s a happy blue. It’s an optimistic blue,” she said.

NEW YORK – Don’t blame the effort to promote an Oscars boycott among blacks because of diversity concerns for the drop in Academy Awards viewership this year.

The Nielsen company said Tuesday that an estimated 3.22 million black viewers watched the Oscars on ABC Sunday, a decline of 2 percent from the 2015 show. The show’s overall viewership of 34.4 million was an eight-year low, and a drop of nearly 8 percent from the year before.

Before the Chris Rock-hosted show, anger about a lack of minority nominees for the big awards led to the call for black viewers to tune out. It apparently wasn’t heeded, or viewers wanted to hear what Rock had to say about the issue.

Hugh Hefner backs Chicago high school newspaper

CHICAGO – Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner has renewed a grant to fund the student newspaper at the Chicago high school he attended.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Hefner made the commitment to Steinmetz College Prep last week. He will continue to donate $7,500 a year for five more years to cover printing costs. Hefner began the pledge to his alma mater in 2010.

About two months ago, Steinmetz Star student reporters clashed with the school’s principal over allegations of censorship.

In December, students wanted to publish a story about later dismissal times. The principal says he held the piece so students could make it less “one-sided.” The story was eventually published on the front page.

The Sun-Times said Hefner was a Steinmetz Star reporter and cartoonist before graduating in 1944.

Celebrity benefit raises $156,000 for Flint

FLINT, Mich. – A benefit for residents affected by lead-contaminated water in Flint has raised nearly $156,000.

Blackout for Human Right’s #JusticeForFlint said Tuesday about 2,000 people attended the event.

Filmmaker and founding Blackout member Ryan Coogler said more than 4,000 people sent in online donations. Coogler directed the film “Creed.”

Blackout is a collective that addresses

human-rights violations.

The fundraiser held Sunday – Oscar night – was attended by Coogler, director Ava DuVernay, singer Janelle Monae and other celebrities.

Flint, north of Detroit, was under state financial control in 2014 when it switched from Detroit’s water system to the Flint River to save money. Corrosive water from the river leached lead from old water lines into some home.

Appeals court puts Cosby’s criminal case on hold

Bill Cosby’s criminal sex-assault case was temporarily halted days before a key hearing while a Pennsylvania appeals court considers his effort to have the case thrown out before trial.

The Pennsylvania Superior Court granted Cosby a postponement Tuesday while the court decides whether to hear Cosby’s pretrial appeal. His preliminary hearing had been set for next week.

Cosby, 78, is accused of drugging and molesting a Temple University employee in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

He said he had a promise from a former district attorney that he would never be charged over his encounter with Andrea Constand. However, a different district attorney reopened the case last year and filed charges in December, weeks before the statute of limitations expired.

The preliminary hearing to determine if probable cause exists to send the case to trial had been set for March 8.

Sherri Shepherd loses surrogacy case

PHILADELPHIA – Actress Sherri Shepherd has lost her appeal of a Pennsylvania court ruling that found her responsible for a child born to a surrogate before she divorced.

The state Supreme Court said Tuesday it won’t hear the case brought by the sitcom actress and former co-host of “The View.”

Surrogacy advocates said the lower court ruling in her case is the first to declare surrogacy contracts binding in Pennsylvania.

Shepherd is paying $4,100 in monthly child support to ex-husband Lamar Sally of Los Angeles. His lawyer, Tiffany Palmer, said Shepherd has not seen the 1-year-old.

Shepherd spent more than $100,000 to arrange the surrogacy but tried to void the contract as the couple divorced in New Jersey.

Shepherd’s lawyer said he’s surprised the court won’t review the issue.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Just before he was about to step into a Florida courtroom Tuesday morning, former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan issued a tweet to his 1.4 million followers.

“Time for the real main event! “I AM” going to slam another Giant! Hogan vrs Gawker! Watcha Gonna Do Gawker? Only Justice Brother HH.” The “main event” he was referring to?

Not a wrestling smackdown, but a $100 million legal battle with a popular news website over his privacy.

After years of wrangling, a legal fight is unfolding in a Florida courtroom between Hogan and the news and gossip website Gawker over a sex tape the celebrity made with the wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.

The ex-wrestler, whose legal name is Terry Bollea, sued Gawker after it published parts of the video in 2012. The video was recorded in 2006. He said his privacy was violated, but Gawker says the publication was a legitimate scoop because Hogan had talked openly about his sex life before, in forums such as Howard Stern’s radio show. Hogan is seeking $100 million

from Gawker for posting the video of him and Heather Cole, the ex-wife of Clem, Hogan’s one-time friend.

Hogan appeared in court wearing all-black, a cross necklace and a black bandanna. Last year, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Pamela Campbell ruled that Hogan could wear a plain bandanna in court, a far cry from his usually flashy gear in the ring and on TV. Jury selection began Tuesday. Nearly 500 potential jurors were summoned; about 100 of those were told to return Wednesday.

Mindfulness meet-ups have become a trend, and you can do it, too

By KELLI KENNEDY

The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Drop-in meditation studios are proliferating in major cities such as New York and Los Angeles, and medi meet-ups are becoming the new book clubs as more people are craving ways to unplug, pushing meditation practices and mindfulness movements from hippie to mainstream.

We asked leading meditation and mindfulness teachers to help demystify these ancient traditions.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is staying connected to the present moment.

“You start to let go of all the accumulated stress and information. So it’s not only a time to not ingest, it’s a time to let the body let go,” said Emily Fletcher, a former Broadway actress and founder of Ziva Meditation in New York, which offers in-person and online training.

Mindfulness also can help curb overeating and other unhealthy habits. The reason: Practicing mindfulness makes one feel more satiated – rather than, for example, rushing through a sandwich while continuing to work, practitioners learn to enjoy every bite, meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg said.

What’s the difference between mindfulness and meditation?

While meditating is usually associated with a sitting practice often guided by the breath, mindfulness extends that practice into everyday life and focuses on cultivating awareness in the present. The point is to prevent your mind from wandering, projecting fear and worry from the past and future and training yourself to accept and enjoy the moment.

Why has mindfulness become such a buzz-word?

Experts say it’s the antidote to the fast-paced tech world we live in.

There’s slowly been a backlash against a distracted, multi-tasking lifestyle to one that is more self-aware, live in the moment attitude.

“We’re just ingesting, ingesting information all day long,” Fletcher said.

Added Salzberg: “We get caught in these spirals of addiction. You remain unfulfilled. That’s why we seek more and more intensity and more and more stimulation in order to feel content and it never works.”

Lauren Eckstrom (left) begins a session at Unplug Meditation Center in Los Angeles. Drop-in meditation studios are proliferating in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles.

Are there any real health benefits?

Experts say mindfulness offers a rest for the brain, increased productivity and the ability to turn off the unfulfilling autopilot of the daily grind and instead live in the present moment.

“The mind body connection isn’t just something you feel. There is a physiology that begins at the molecular level that goes all the way to the organ level,” said Dr. Darshan Mehta, medical director of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. “It challenges this conventional wisdom that as we get older our brains shrink in size. That’s true for most people, but for people who do have a consistent regular mind body practice, that may not necessarily be the case.”

I started on my own, and it’s making me feel anxious. Is that normal?

Experts stress the importance of

starting with a teacher or one of the numerous apps or online videos. For some, a YouTube meditation video or a mindfulness exercise without guidance might feel forced and unfulfilling at first.

“When you just tell someone just go close your eyes and meditate, it can become like a torture. There are a bunch of thoughts and you don’t know what to do with them. Sometimes you feel more restless being aware of all those thoughts,” said Annelies Richmond, a director at the Art of Living Foundation, who helped bring mindfulness, meditation and yoga to New York City public schools.

What kind of classes and apps are out there?

At Unplug Meditation in Los Angeles, students can choose classes to unblock chakras or cultivate intuition or a breathing class set to modern music for $22. In Central Park, 1,500 people signed up for a free group meditation this summer called The Big Quiet, and

800 people sold out a New York concert venue, paying $20 to sit in silence.

“It’s one of the most profound experiences you can share with other humans, especially when you’re in the hundreds.

There’s something about being in quiet and sharing that with a group that creates almost like a vortex. It’s like the collective energy of the room starts to swirl together,” said event organizer Jesse Israel, whose invite-only Medi Club in New York has grown to 1,000 people who vie for 200 spots at monthly meet-ups.

Emily Fletcher is the host of a new podcast for Gaiam’s recently launchedapp, which offers nearly two dozen teachers from different lineages for $2.99. Most are between four to 15-minutes, and Fletcher’s offerings include guided visualization for a first date, sports performance and test taking. 1 Giant Mind’s free app includes sessions between 10 and 20 minutes with a guide, music or silence. Headspace’s popular app offers 10-minute guided meditations.

Daniel Heumann, 10, stands with his parents, Micah and Sara Heumann and brother, Asher, 7. Daniel was born a girl and named Naima, but has identified as a boy ever since he knew about gender, Micah Heumann said.

The study “certainly suggests that family support is linked to better mental health,” although that idea wasn’t tested directly and Olson said the results don’t prove that is the explanation for the children’s well-being.

The results were published Friday in the journal Pediatrics.

The findings are “truly stunning,” given previous studies showing high rates of mental health problems, including suicidal behavior in transgender children, Dr. Ilana Sherer, a Dublin, California, pediatrician, wrote in a Pediatrics editorial. Most previous research is in children who haven’t come out,

CHICAGO – Young transgender children allowed to live openly as the gender they identify with fared as well psychologically as other kids in a small study that suggests parental support may be the key.

Rates of depression and anxiety were equal in the study, which compared 73 transgender kids aged 3 to 12 with 73 nontransgender youngsters. The trans kids also fared as well on both measures as a group of their nontransgender siblings.

Rates of anxiety among trans kids were “a smidge higher” than national averages for children of the same age, but otherwise they matched national norms, said lead author Kristina Olson, an associate psychology professor at the University of Washington.

She said it’s the largest study to examine the psychological health of transgender youth who have transitioned socially. Parents recruited from support groups, conferences and a special website rated their kids’ well-being on a standard mental health scale.

The parents weren’t randomly selected, and Olson acknowledged parents of kids who aren’t well-adjusted may have opted not to take part.

Olson said.

Study children had not had any sex reassignment treatment, and some parents initially opposed letting their kids come out.

Micah Heumann, an academic adviser at the University of Illinois’s Champaign campus, was among the study participants.

His 10-year-old child, Daniel, was born a girl and named Naima, but has identified as a boy ever since he knew about gender, Heumann said.

In second grade, the family agreed to let Daniel legally change his name, and at the boy’s request, his school agreed to go along with the change, even letting Daniel use the boy’s bathroom.

“He is very well-adjusted” but still feels stress because he knows not everyone is so accepting, Heumann said.

Daniel “was very anxious before coming out at school,” but refused the option of keeping the secret, Heumann recalled.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Dad, I can’t. It’s harder to live a lie and not as I am truly than to deal with this anxiety right now.’ ” Heumann said the family reacted to Daniel’s choice with mixed feelings, mourning the loss of a daughter but never wavering in love and support for Daniel.

Information about Zika virus Dear Readers: Not surprisingly, we’ve been getting lots of letters about the Zika virus. In today’s column, I’d like to answer the questions many readers are asking.

• Where did Zika virus come from? Zika virus has been present for centuries in Africa. About 50 years ago, it spread to Asia. So far as we know, it arrived in the Americas (primarily Brazil) only last year. That means the vast majority of us in the Western Hemisphere have no immunity against it.

• How does it spread? The virus is carried by mosquitoes, primarily one called Aedes aegypti. They pick up the virus when they bite a person who is infected with it. They spread it to other people when they bite those people.

It is not clear if it can be spread directly from one person to another, as the influenza virus is spread when someone near you coughs, for example. There are a few cases in which the virus might have been spread by sex, but this appears to be very unusual.

• What is the danger from catching this virus? That depends on who you are. Most of us, even those of us in the Americas, don’t have any symptoms when we catch it. Some of us get aching joints, red eyes, fever and a rash, but it’s a mild, flu-like illness that typically lasts less than a week. Infection with the virus also infrequently may cause a nervous system disease in adults called Guillain-Barre.

But if you are a woman who is, might be or might soon become pregnant, there is reason to worry. There is strong evidence from Brazil when pregnant women catch the virus, there is a risk their babies will be born with birth defects.

The most serious of these is microceph-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

aly – small heads and brains. (Several other infections also can cause this tragic complication of pregnancy.) Defects of vision and hearing also may occur.

• Can I be tested for this virus? Currently, only very specialized laboratories, such as those at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, can test accurately for the virus. Also, the tests are not perfectly accurate: They can both under-diagnose and over-diagnose the infection.

• Are there treatments for the virus? As of now, there are no treatments and no vaccines to prevent people from becoming infected. As you might expect, scientists all over the world are working to develop treatments and vaccines.

• Has the virus come to the United States and Canada? So far, there have been only a few cases of Zika virus infection among people in the U.S. and Canada, and they all caught the infection in a country south of the U.S. The virus would become a serious threat to the U.S. and Canada only if it was carried by mosquitoes in those countries. So far, that has not happened.

• What should I do to protect myself?

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll address that question. I’ll also talk about how we can better protect ourselves against other potential epidemics that might strike us.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

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

ly – warts and all. The problem with “falling in love” (what I define as infatuation) is you don’t yet know who the person is. Regardless of how your fiancée financed her education, she deserves respect for being honest with you. She has done as much as she can to improve her life. You now must ask yourself if you can see past her past, and if she is someone you would be happy spending the rest of your life with.

Remember, I live in Los Angeles, and in this town, her revelation wouldn’t necessarily be a deal-breaker.

Dear Abby: I met a guy named “Ryan” about 10 weeks ago. We hit it off right away. I admit I had a little crush on him.

About a week after we met, he came out to a group of our mutual friends (me included) as gay. I’m very supportive of him, and it didn’t change anything between us at all. Over the past several weeks, we have grown to be best friends and continue to grow closer and closer.

Once I found out Ryan was gay, the rational and practical part of me took over and squashed the crush I had on him in the beginning. But now that feeling is coming back even stronger.

I know our relationship can never be anything more than platonic. I guess I’m just asking how I can get over him while still maintaining our close friendship, because ultimately, that means the world to me, and I don’t want to lose it. – Friend Only In Washington, D.C. Dear Friend Only: It’s not easy to think rationally when emotions are involved. Ryan might have everything you want in a man, but he will not be a romantic partner for you. If spending time around him becomes too painful, you might have to put some distance between the two of you until you regain your emotional balance.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My fiancée and I have known each Jeanne other since high Phillips school. I was the “good kid” with honors and the right parents. She was considered trouble and didn’t have the best home life.

Rumor had it she moonlighted as a stripper our senior year, but I always blew it off as false.

Fast-forward 12 years: I ran into her recently, and we decided to have dinner. I fell in love with her on that date. A few months went by, and I mentioned the rumors. She wasn’t upset and matter-of-factly explained she did start stripping in high school and continued through college. It bothered me, but the benefits of being with her far outweighed the negatives.

Now that we are engaged, she told me she had to “come clean.” She said there were times in college when she had sex with some of her regular clients. I am floored. She basically admitted she had prostituted herself. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to blame her for her past indiscretions, but this is a big deal. I don’t know how to let it go. Advice, please. – Guy Who

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A WOODSTOCK REGIONAL

Early exit for Marengo No. 2 seed falls in regional semifinal

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – With three seconds remaining, Marengo sharpshooter Zach Knobloch caught the pass in rhythm and – with the same repeatable motion he has perfected over the years – he nailed one last 3-pointer.

He has won games with that same motion, set records and propelled his team to regional title games. One of the most prolific 3-point shooters in Illinois history, Knobloch broke the state’s single-season record with 167 3s last year. His shot in the final seconds of a Woodstock Regional semifinal made 380 for his career, good for third in state history.

Although Tuesday’s 3-pointer came in the final seconds, there was no celebration this time. No hands raised overhead. No exuberant skipping down to the other end of the court. In-

stead, he stood in place, stunned and silent as if he had just been hit with an unsuspecting punch to the stomach.

Belvidere, seeded sixth in the Woodstock Regional, upset No. 2 Marengo, 69-59, in the regional semifinals. The Indians’ season ended and so too did the careers of Knobloch and the rest of the seniors – Craiton Nice, Adam Roudabush, Austin Keefer, Trevor Nelsen, Ben Volkening, Timothy Bassuener and Kwinn Velasquez.

“It just brought back all the memories, knowing that’s going to be my last shot in high school,” said Knobloch, who also finished his football career with a touchdown pass. “The memories that I made here are just unreal. I just don’t know what to feel right now.

I’m happy because I wouldn’t trade this season for anything. But I’m sad because it’s done.”

“They put a body of work together for the past two years that’s just outstanding,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said. “The records that we’ve set and the things that we’ve done...

The Wolves held Belvidere North to one basket in the second quarter, outscoring the Blue Thunder, 12-3, in the period.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

“We’ve had, when you take a look at some numbers, we’ve had a successful year,” Corky Card said, “but I think our kids know that ... if we’re not the hardest working team out there and we’re not passing the ball well that it’s really going to be a dog fight.”

Bradshaw said. “To get an opportunity to come here on Friday and play in the regional championship, possibly against South, I’m looking forward to that atmosphere. It’s going to be great. To get this win, we’re talking about surviving and advancing right now, and we did that tonight.”

Bradshaw had the hot hand early on, hitting three of his four 3-pointers in the first quarter as the Wolves held off the Blue Thunder’s initial energy and built a 23-16 lead. Bradshaw finished with a game-high 18 points.

“We were moving the ball a lot with our offense,” Bradshaw said. “They went man early, and so we tried to get to the rim and kick out, and we were setting some good screens for me on the outside, and the point guards were doing a great job of getting me the ball, and I was just knocking them down early.”

Cory Lamb added 10 points while Kyle Loeding and Payton Otto each chipped in nine. Dylan Stenzel, Brian Dorn and Logan Card all scored six.

The Blue Thunder (3-27) were led by 17 points from Rylen Kirk.

Even when the shots weren’t falling,

the Wolves used their defensive pressure to force turnovers and get out in transition.

“It’s definitely a big thing for us,” Lamb said. “We don’t have a lot of size, so we’ve got to do it one way or another, so we tend to get it on the defensive end by pressuring the ball. We have a lot of faith in our guys on the back row so we can anticipate, look to jump some more, and we have faith that somebody’s going to be there to step up and take the next position. That’s a huge thing, ball pressure.”

The Wolves (24-3) extended their lead in the second and third quarter. In the second, Prairie Ridge held the Blue Thunder without a point until the final minute of the half, taking a 35-19 lead to the break. They outscored the Blue Thunder, 21-12, in the third to put the game out of reach.

“We have to bring it every time because we’re not the biggest, we’re not the most talented, but we have some great players on our team,” Bradshaw said. “We play together, and that’s just the main focal point of our team – just playing our game. That’s what coach has been saying all year – just playing Prairie Ridge basketball, playing tough and playing hard.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A KANELAND REGIONAL

• MARENGO

Continued from page 2 The Indians (21-8) were paced by junior guard Mike Volkening with 20 points. Ben Volkening put up 17 and pulled down eight rebounds. Knobloch scored 15.

The three Indians in double figures weren’t enough to overcome an up-and-down contest that was an embodiment of the cliche, “basketball is a game of runs.” It featured – in this order – a 14-3 Marengo run, a 17-0 Bucs run, a 16-2 Marengo run and a 10-0 Bucs run.

After all that, Marengo and Belvidere were tied at 47 with just over four minutes remaining. The Bucs (15-16) punched back with one more 14-3 run and closed it out at the free-throw line.

“We needed a little bit more time to try to respond one more time,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said. “We just couldn’t get it done.”

Over the past two seasons, Marengo compiled a record of 48-14. The Indians lost only three times at home during that stretch and came two wins away from repeating as regional champs for the first time since 1997 and 1998.

“Basketball is about more than, ‘Oh we’re going to go out here and try to win games and practice,’ ” he said.

“It’s a brotherhood. I won’t remember the games and the practices as much as I’ll remember messing around with my friends, jokes, going out, sleeping over people’s houses. It’s more than a game.”

MAPLE PARK – The No. 9-seeded Hampshire boys basketball team took a lead into the fourth quarter against No. 2 Kaneland but couldn’t hold it in a 73-66 loss to the Knights in a Class 3A Kaneland Regional semifinal Tuesday.

“We knew coming in that Hampshire was a really good team who was on a roll and on fire at the right time,” Knights coach Joe Conroy said. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We didn’t bring the intensity early that we needed, but we were able to turn it up in the second half.”

Deion Garcia was a big part of that early push for the Whip-Purs, who were seeking their second win in as many days after beating Illinois Math and Science Academy in the opening round. He connected on four 3-pointers in the game to finish with 17 points. Brennen Woods had 15 points and Danny Duchaj 11 for the WhipPurs.

CRYSTAL LAKE – On the first night of March, the Prairie Ridge boys basketball team was leaning on a mantra popularized in the NCAA tournament.

“This time of year you just take each night and as long as you survive and advance kind of mentality,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “They did some good things against us. Like I told our kids, we didn’t play all bad, we didn’t play all good, but you get to play on Friday so that’s good news.”

Top-seeded Prairie Ridge beat No. 10 Belvidere North, 67-45, Tuesday night in a Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional semifinal at South.

The Wolves advance to the regional championship Friday against either No. 4 South or No. 5 Jefferson. Prairie Ridge, riding a 13-game winning streak, has not won a regional championship since 2007.

4 HEAT 129, BULLS 111

Rose returns; defense still AWOL

Heat shoot 67.5% to set club record

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com MIAMI – It was the ideal night for Fred Hoiberg to play politician.

With Derrick Rose returning to the court after missing the past three games with a right hamstring injury, and the usual controversy following the Bulls guard, coach Fred Hoiberg – nicknamed “The Mayor” – was asked several different ways on Super Tuesday about the fairness of the criticism.

And several different ways he bobbed and weaved.

“Look, the biggest thing I can do is try to be there for Derrick and try and do the best job I can to get him prepared to play,” Hoiberg said. “And hopefully I’ll get him to play his best basketball here late in the season. Obviously, it’s an important stretch for us. We’ve got [23 games] left and we’re fighting like [heck] for a playoff spot.”

A fight they continued losing.

111 at the American Airlines Arena, allowing at least 100 points for a 14th consecutive game.

If the 129 points weren’t bad enough, they also allowed Miami to shoot 52 of 77 from the field, as the Heat’s 67.5 percent for the game was a new franchise record-stain on this season’s squad.

While Hoiberg stayed clear of the Rose talk, he pulled no punches concerning his team’s inability to deal with adversity.

“That’s the thing, and we’ve talked about that,” Hoiberg said. “We seem to play harder on defense in our practices. You gotta carry that over into games. Again, we seem to get deflated when the adversity hits us, when things go well for the other team. For whatever reason, we don’t get tougher in those stretches, and that’s what you AP photo have to do when that adversity hits.”

lost for the season, they lost their second-best interior defender midway through the third quarter, as Taj Gibson injured his right hamstring.

It wasn’t deemed serious, but it was yet another body down for a team seeing the playoffs slowly slip away.

“Yeah, we been talking about it for the last couple weeks, knowing that we were going to be in this position if we continued to lose,” Rose said of being out of the top eight now. “I’m just wondering when we’re going to say enough.”

Considering they allowed Miami to score 74 points in the paint, it wasn’t Tuesday.

The one positive? Only getting 24 minutes of work, Rose still scored 17 points in his return, shooting 6 for 11.

He was a team-worst minus-19 in plus/ minus, but the hamstring was quiet and Rose liked the way he played.

“I missed a couple bunnies, loved the way I drove the ball,” Rose said.

“The wind has to catch up a little bit more, but I liked how I played.”

That’s good. Now he better start liking the idea of him and his teammates guarding the opposition.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

NIU goes cold in 2nd half, falls at E. Michigan

By SHAW MEDIA with wire reports

Early in the second half, the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team held a 15-point lead over Eastern Michigan.

Then the Huskies stopped making shots.

The Huskies squandered a double-digit lead in the second half in their 75-71 Mid-American Conference West Division loss to Eastern Michigan on Tuesday night in Ypsilanti, Michigan, dropping their eighth straight road contest.

The Huskies (19-11, 8-9 MAC West) took a 60-45 lead on a basket by senior guard Travon Baker with 14:08 left in the second half. The next field goal for NIU came with less than a minute remaining – a layup by junior Aaric Armstead to make it 68-all with 59 seconds remaining.

It was a stretch of 12 straight missed field goal attempts.

“It seems like after we got up 15, I think the guys got tight,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “When the lead started shrinking, we couldn’t make a

basket. You have to play 40 minutes to win the game.”

The Huskies led, 45-39, at halftime behind an impressive performance by freshman Marshawn Wilson, who scored 23 of his game-high 26 points in the first half and made his first nine shots.

“You have to have other guys step up,” Montgomery said. “We had him step up in the first half and (senior guard) Chuks (Iroegbu) step up in the second half, but we didn’t have enough guys step up.”

Iroegbu had 12 points, and freshman Jaylen Key had nine points and five rebounds and had an important tip-in that tied the score at 70 with 24 seconds remaining.

However, Eastern Michigan (16-14, 8-9) answered with a 3-pointer on the right wing by Tim Bond with three seconds left. Bond finished with a team-high 17 points, and freshman James Thompson IV had his 17th double-double of the season with 16 points and 13 rebounds.

It was a rough night for NIU big man Marin Maric, who finished with one point in 14 minutes with four fouls and

had to be helped off the court with a right ankle injury in the second half and didn’t return.

“He’s on crutches right now,” Montgomery said.

The Huskies play their regular-season finale at 6 p.m. Friday against Ball State at the NIU Convocation Center in a game that will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

No. 3 Villanova 83, DePaul 62: At Villanova, Pennsylvania, Kris Jenkins scored 14 straight points and a career-high 31 overall, leading No. 3 Villanova to a victory over DePaul and the outright Big East championship.

The Wildcats (26-4, 15-2) are Big East champs for the third straight season and had already clinched the top seed for the conference tournament next week in New York. The Wildcats won the tournament in 2015.

Eli Cain led DePaul (9-20, 3-14) with 14 points. The outcome was never in doubt, Villanova has won 12 straight against the perennial Big East cellar dwellers.

No. 12 Indiana 81, No. 16 Iowa 78: At Iowa City, Iowa, Yogi Ferrell had 20 points, including a crucial 3 with 37 seconds, and

Indiana clinched its second outright Big Ten title in four years.

Troy Williams had 15 points for the Hoosiers (24-6, 14-3), who will be the No. 1 seed in next week’s conference tournament.

Iowa fell behind by as many as 14 points before a 24-8 run put it back in front, 74-72. The Hawkeyes then got the ball back with 6 seconds left down 3, but Peter Jok’s potential game-tying 3 grazed the rim.

Jarrod Uthoff had 18 points to lead the reeling Hawkeyes (20-9, 11-6), who have lost five of six after a 10-1 start in the Big Ten. No. 15 Purdue 81, Nebraska 62: At Lincoln, Nebraska, Vince Edwards scored 20 points, and A.J. Hammons had 12 of his 16 points in the second half, leading Purdue over Nebraska.

The Boilermakers (23-7, 11-6) ended a three-game road losing streak and moved into a tie with Ohio State for sixth in the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers (14-16, 6-11) lost their fourth straight.

Shavon Shields scored a season-high 32 points on his senior night for Nebraska.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Cubs manager Joe Maddon, dressed in 1970s clothes, sits in a tricked-out van before a workout Monday in Mesa, Ariz. the National League Championship Series, built around a young core of hitters and a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher, created as much incentive as any “culture.”

Still, the concept of linking a top-tobottom organizational cohesiveness to talent acquisition and the raw economics of payroll management was at least uncommon, if not cutting edge at the time.

“I’d love to find [that paper],” Maddon said. “I might have given it to Bavasi or one of those guys.”

“I know he gave it to me, but I know I don’t have it,” said Bill Bavasi, the

during spring batting practice.

If that helps create the culture everyone’s talking about around here, it’s not by accident. If anything, it was decades in the making before he got his first shot at managing a big-league team 10 years ago with the Rays.

You could probably even read about some of it if anyone could find that old paper.

“It’s talking about scouting and development, talking about how ownership relates to minor-league players,” Maddon said, “how general managers and team presidents relate with minor-league players. How that all came together where you build this culture where people want to be someplace.

“And it’s happening here.”

Maddon wasn’t the only Angels instructor who worked hard, planned and even gave proposals to Bavasi.

“But I might put my thoughts on a piece of paper and hand it to you, and then Einstein will give you his,” Bavasi said. “It’s a big difference.

“Joe’s where he is for a reason. And, yeah, he worked hard. But there are people that work as hard as he does. He’s just smart. His heart’s always in the right place. He’s true to himself.

“There’s something said for being good.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Saladino understands why Sox brought in Rollins

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – You’re infielder Tyler Saladino and the White Sox don’t pick up shortstop Alexei Ramirez’s option for 2016.

A door has opened.

You’re Tyler Saladino, the Sox’s stated best option in camp to open the season at short, and veteran Jimmy Rollins is signed on the third day of spring training.

Ouch. A door has slammed shut. On your hand.

But for Saladino, it could be worse. He might never be an everyday shortstop, but he profiles well as a utility infielder, versatile enough to play every position and even the outfield in a pinch. And it’s not a given that Rollins, at 37, is a handsdown slam dunk to be the starter out of spring training. His .224/.285/.358 slash line with 13 homers with the Los Angeles Dodgers isn’t Rollins in his prime.

And his range and glove probably aren’t the Gold Glove, MVP caliber he flashed

all those years with the Philadelphia Phillies, either.

With Cactus League games beginning Thursday, the Sox will Sox try to figure out what Rollins can give them and go from there.

If he can’t provide more than mentoring tips for Saladino and shortstopof-the-future Anderson, they’ll have Saladino, Tyler Saladino 26, to fall back on or to platoon while Anderson’s place is kept warm.

Saladino wanted the starting gig, but he’s smart enough to know why Rollins was brought on board for an inexpensive $2 million if he makes the team.

“Bringing in Jimmy is tons of things,” Saladino said. “It’s competition, it’s a chance to learn from someone of his caliber and his experience. There is a wealth of knowledge there. To be naïve in a situation like that and not learn would be going backwards. So I just try to embrace it. And being alongside him

is extra special.”

There was nothing special about Saladino’s .225 batting average and .267 onbase percentage over 254 plate appearances in 2015, either, his first year in the majors. He was a .261/.351/.395 hitter in the minors.

“I didn’t know that’s what I hit (last season). I don’t pay attention to that,” he said.

But averages are posted everywhere, in big letters on scoreboards.

“I honestly won’t be able to tell you at all what my batting average is,” Saladino said. “I could care less because I know what I did that night and what I need to do. If it doesn’t get done, it doesn’t get done, and you get ready for the next day.”

Or else someone will beat you of a job.

“Absolutely,” Saladino said. “That’s why I’m going to hit [in the cages] right now. Obviously, nobody is going to be happy with .225, if that’s what it was.”

Saladino can field and play a heady enough game to bridge the post-Ramirez era.

“Typically, my whole life I’ve been a guy you can count on for the hit-andruns, the bunts, steal some bags, the situational stuff,” he said. “Drive a guy in if there’s a chance to drive a guy in. I’m not going to bop 30 out every year.”

And always keep your ears open.

“Jerry Hairston was my first hitting coach in (rookie level) Bristol,” Saladino said. “He said, ‘Always keep your eyes and ears open. You might hear something that’s not directed at you, but it might be what you needed to hear.’

That’s the way I am up here. Sure, .225.

But I’m going to find ways to get better.”

Rollins is trying to win a job, but he said it’s easy being himself around Saladino and Anderson, who are both asking questions. The Sox also brought him in to help those two.

“My job is to make sure when they are playing, especially defensively, they are giving themselves the best chance to make that play consistently and turn it into an out,” Rollins said.

“It’s easy for me to be me. There isn’t a competition in that sense.”

MESA, Ariz. – Jason Heyward, John Lackey, Trevor Cahill, Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler.

All took less money and/or years to sign with, or re-sign with, the Cubs this winter. And the Cubs admit they couldn’t have accomplished their offseason objectives without those compromises, along with some creative contract structuring.

“It’s actually incredible to think about that concept,” manager Joe Maddon said.

Actually, Maddon’s been thinking about the concept for 30 years. He wrote the book on it – a paper, really – in the late 1980s while working as a minor league field coordinator in the Angels’ system.

“It was a concept, where if you could create the right culture, you would get guys wanting to stay longer because of that, irrespective of money,” he said.

“The money would matter, but not to the level that wanting to be in that particular spot would matter.

“So whenever I see guys signing for less and wanting to stay here, I think about that.”

In the Cubs’ case, a team that went to

former general manager who was Maddon’s farm director then. “It’s probably somewhere.”

Bavasi doesn’t remember the details in the paper. But he does remember Maddon using the huge, heavy word processor he carried around at the time to do planning, bang out proposals and often stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning typing ideas that occurred to him that day.

“I really thought I became a better coach by doing that,” Maddon said.

“Those are the things that really helped me understand my craft.”

Three decades later, “team culture” – one of the most overused, meaningless terms in sports – has overtaken “goat” and “century” as the most commonly uttered words in Cubs camp.

“Joe leads that,” Cubs ace Jake Arrieta said.

In fact, the manager embodies what the term means for this team. It shows up in the irreverent, sometimes silly, clubhouse magicians, zoo animal visits, pajama-themed road trips and 1970s day at spring training (complete with tricked-out van and disco music) It’s also there in the “Respect 90” and “Embrace the Target” campaign slogans his first two years with the Cubs, and the mega speakers blasting classic rock

Where are the All-Pros without contracts going?

Nowhere, it appears.

Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and fellow All-Pro players Josh Norman and Eric Berry were given franchise tags Von Miller Tuesday, the league’s deadline to do so.

In all, nine players were slapped with the franchise tag and one, Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, got the transition tag.

Broncos linebacker Miller was the only player to get the exclusive tag, at $14.129 million, meaning no other team can make him an offer.

Panthers cornerback Norman and Chiefs safety Berry were among the eight who received non-exclusive designations, so other clubs can make offers, but their current teams

have the right to match or get compensated with two first-round draft picks.

Also getting tagged with free agency set to begin on March 9 were Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson, Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery, Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker, Bills tackle Cordy Glenn and Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson.

The players have until July 15 to work out a long-term contract with their teams. If they can’t – and most franchises are eager to get these players locked up for several years – then the salary for 2016 is determined by the tag designation.

Miami decided against placing the franchise tag on Vernon, and this year’s transition number calls for defensive ends to receive $12.734 million. A transition tag allows the player to negotiate with other teams, but his current club has the right of first refusal to match any offer. Should Vernon leave, there is no compensation for Miami.

8 BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A McHENRY REGIONAL

McHenry gives Lake Zurich fits Third-seeded Bears finally pull away from 14th-seeded Warriors

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – McHenry had guard Nick Bellich back running the offense, its raucous home crowd and relatively little pressure as the No. 14 seed playing No. 3 Lake Zurich.

“We actually thought we could beat them,” Bellich said.

“This is the best time of the year. It’s awesome.

If we played them again, I think we could beat them for sure.”

McHenry made it uncomfortable for the Bears for about 28 minNick Bellich utes until they created a little space and defeated the Warriors, 52-42, Tuesday night in a Class 4A McHenry Regional semifinal. The McHenry Regional feeds into the Fremd Sectional, a tournament that seeds the entire sectional to determine regional pairings.

Lake Zurich (22-9) was a decisive favorite, but the Warriors (14-16) stuck with them through three quarters.

Bellich’s two 3-pointers, sandwiched around Deshawn Wilson’s layup, tied the score at 31 going into the fourth quarter.

“We just played our game, listened to what our coaches said, we just believed we could win,” said forward Brian O’Toole, who led McHenry with seven rebounds. “We didn’t [win], but we believed it and that’s how we stuck with them.”

Bellich hit a 14-footer to open the fourth quarter, but Bears guard Nick Penny hit a layup and a 3, and Lake Zurich led the rest of the way. With 2:57 remaining, Nick Meyer’s three-point play opened the gap to 45-36.

“Going into the fourth, we were tied with a really good team,” Warriors coach Tim Paddock said. “They capitalized on a couple missed shots with some rebounds, but we fought our tails off the entire time. Nick [Bellich], what a way to finish. He slowly got healthier the last couple weeks.”

Bellich suffered meniscus damage to his right knee before the season but was able to return in early February.

He scored 17 points and hit five 3s in his final game.

“I just had to,” Bellich said. “I really had no other option. I didn’t think about how much I had or any of that. It just

Warriors forward Colton Klein hit his first seven free throws of the game, giving him 16 consecutive makes at the line between Monday’s play-in victory over Cary-Grove and Tuesday’s semifinal game.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

McHenry guard Nick Bellich returned from a knee injury to play the past eight games and finished his career when he banked in a 3-pointer with 4 seconds remaining, giving him a season-high 17 points. “I kind of wish they didn’t count that,” Bellich said, laughing. “It was awkward.”

happened, I just did anything to make it not my last game ever. It was a fun game.”

Penny, a senior, led Lake Zurich with 20 points and could relate to what Bellich was saying.

“We knew they’d be tough,” Penny said. “Nick’s a senior. They have some tough seniors. They don’t want to go home. That was a tough team. We knew if we kept taking good shots, they would go in.”

Lake Zurich hit 6 of 9 from the field in the fourth quarter and 8 of 11 from the free-throw line.

“I thought we’d be able to pull away, maybe a little bit earlier, but they have some players,” Bears coach Josh Virostko said. “They’re tough. We knew Bellich was good. He struggled last night, but I told the guys, ‘He’s going to play better tonight.’ We just didn’t do a very good job getting out on him with his shooting.”

Nothing pairs quite so well with a midwinter day as an herb-crusted slab of meat roasting alongside a few root vegetables. And to toast that roast, you’ll want a rich, flavorful wine that can stand up to the snappiest of cold snaps.

Here, experts dish up tips to pair with heartier fare.

It’s OK to order the merlot

“The kind of roast meats I think of for the winter meal are rich, succulent and take over your whole mouth,” said Doug Shafer of the Napa Valley’s Shafer Vineyards, known for its classic reds such as Hillside Select cabernet sauvignon and Relentless, a syrah blend named in honor of powerhouse winemaker Elias Fernandez.

Shafer might pick the Shafer 2013 merlot for something like a slow-roasted lamb shank. Like a good roast, the wine is “flavorful, fruity and lush. It’s why they’re such great dance partners.”

Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs 6 eggs 3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon mustard Salt and pepper, to taste 2 ounces slivered smoked salmon 1/2 teaspoon minced chives Paprika, to taste Fresh dill sprigs and capers, for garnish

Sauces have a big impact on wine pairings, so this can be a great way to narrow your choices, said Madeline Puckette, content director of www. winefolly.com and co-author of the recent book “Wine Folly: The Essential Guide to Wine.”

If you have sauces that are on the sweet-and-sour side, including honey barbecue, finding a wine with a high fruitiness factor or a touch of sweetness will make sure the wine doesn’t get lost in the sauce. For example, she said, “You’ll be surprised at how awesome lambrusco pairs with sweet-style barbecue ribs. Delicious!”

Easily Find The Ingredients For This Week’s Recipe!

Get intense

“The key to making a great pairing with any dish is to match the intensity of the wine with the food,” Puckette said. So, beef brisket is going to take a more intensely flavored wine than roast chicken.

Some examples of wines that go great with brisket include syrah, pinotage and cabernet franc.

Join the clean palate club

If you have a roast meat that’s been marinated with vinegar and is saturated with flavor, a palate-cleansing wine is a good idea, Puckette said. That means a wine with high acidity that will freshen your palate, similar to lemonade or iced tea.

For lighter meats, this could be a sparkling brut or a blanc de noirs. A sparkling white wine made with red grapes is terrific with turkey. For darker meats, a sparkling rose fits the bill.

Boil eggs until hard. Cool and remove shells. Cut in half lengthwise.

Remove yolks, placing them in a bowl and the whites on a plate.

Mash and mix the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix in the smoked salmon and chives. Fill whites with yolk mixture. Dust with paprika and garnish with dill sprigs and a few capers on each egg.

A grilled Berkshire pork chop with roasted potatoes, garlic and mostarda di frutta is paired with a glass of Shafer Merlot wine at the Bistro Don Giovanni restaurant in Napa, Calif.

There’s some debate over whether “red with beef” and “white with chicken and pork” is an absolute or a rule made to be broken. For instance, as noted above, a white or rose sparkler often can be a great accompaniment to roasts. Still, Puckette said there are some wines that are definitely better left out of the winter pairing equation, and that would include soft whites such as chardonnay, pinot gris and viognier.

Rotisserie chicken speeds up stew The Associated Press

Having a trusty fast food strategy is the busy person’s key to eating well.

When I’m swamped with work, travel, kids’ activities (or whatever), I quite simply cannot be trusted to choose the healthy meal over the quick one.

Unless, that is, the healthy one is the quick one. Over the years, I have developed a repertoire of healthier fast food options, dinners I can get on the table in minutes. A standby is, of course, the supermarket rotisserie chicken. Pick up one of those, add a quick spinach salad (by which I mean spinach with red wine vinegar and olive oil sprinkled on it with a handful of almonds and a quick chop of scallions on top), and my family is eating before anyone even has time to ask what’s for dinner.

I also always buy two rotisserie chickens (or roast two chickens when I’m bothering to heat up the house with the oven), so I have leftover chicken seasoned and ready to go for another meal a day or two later.

This week’s chicken and black bean stew is a meal inspired by one of those weeks. The ingredients are all basic, simple stuff I have on hand most of the time (and if not, I can find something to substitute). I use canned chipotles in adobo sauce for tons of flavor and some warm heat (buy it canned, then store it in a freezer bag and just lop off a hunk for recipes as you need it).

Don’t have or like chipotles? You also can use tomato paste and chili powder or whatever other warm spicy item you have in your cupboard (Sriracha? Red pepper flakes? Chipotle powder? All great.). The secret to this quick stew is the chicken already has so much flavor that adding just a little spice and a little acid (the lime juice) makes the flavors taste far more complex than the quick and healthy little dinner gem that this dish is.

Quick And Spicy Rotisserie Chicken And Black Bean Stew Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small yellow onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons (or more) chipotles in adobo sauce, finely chopped, sauce included (or tomato paste if no spice is desired) 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock, hot 1½ cups water, hot 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed 2 cups shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken 2 tablespoons lime juice Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1/2 large avocado, cubed 1 medium tomato, cubed, seeds removed, or tomato salsa 1/2 cup cilantro leaves Lime wedges, to garnish In a large, heavy pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook until starting to get tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chipotles, then stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock, water, beans, corn and chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in the lime juice, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into 4 serving bowls, then top with avocado, tomato or salsa, and cilantro, and offer lime wedges on the side.

Winter Citrus, Mushroom and Farro Stuffed Acorn Squash AP photo

Vegan dish bold enough to please meat eaters

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Looking for a vegan main dish that’s robust enough to leave a meat eater satisfied? This stuffed squash dish has you covered.

We start by halving and roasting acorn squash, which have a rich, satisfying flavor that only deepens in the oven. And since the bowl-like shape of the squash just begs to be filled, we created a mushroom-farro stuffing spiked with lemon zest and juice. If you don’t mind adding some dairy, crumbled soft goat cheese or feta would be a delicious addition to the stuffing.

Each half is just about right as an entree serving, but they easily are cut into quarters to work as a side dish.

And if you want to feed a crowd, the recipe can be doubled or tripled.

Winter Citrus, Mushroom and Farro Stuffed Acorn Squash Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4

2 medium acorn squash Olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced mixed mushrooms 1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups cooked farro 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme Zest and juice of 1 lemon Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking pan (such as a 9-by-9-inch pan) with foil and spritz with cooking spray.

Cut the acorn squash in half from stem to point and scoop out the seeds and membranes. Slice off a small piece of skin from the rounded side of each half so the squash can sit flat with the cut side up. Rub the cut side of each half with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then arrange in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Meanwhile, in a medium sauté pan over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until they begin to brown. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender. Remove from the heat and stir in the farro, parsley, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest and juice.

When the squash has cooked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and spoon the filling into each half. Return to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the squash flesh is tender when pierced with a paring knife.

Beefy stew trims down Warm, simple meal made easier with slow cooker

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

Slow Cooker Southwestern Stew

There are two kinds of people – fans of slow-cookers and those who haven’t tried them. I’m definitely the former.

I just love my slow-cooker. I make everything in it, from summertime ribs to baked potatoes to spaghetti squash. But in the winter, there is nothing quite as satisfying as a thick stew or hearty soup that bubbles away gently all day, slowing filling the house with welcoming aromas while I’m off at work, running errands or spending the day at my daughters’ school.

My kids’ slow-cooker favorite?

Probably Southwestern stew. It has all the flavors they love, plus they are allowed to have (baked) corn chips at dinner, which is exciting stuff around the d’Arabian house.

I make a version that is trimmed down and healthier, full of fiber and protein thanks to the combination of black beans and chickpeas. But the star of this soup is the ground beef. I love ground turkey, and I certainly have made this soup with it, but lean ground beef is, calorie-wise, a close peer of most ground turkey.

In fact, many of the ground turkey packages offered will have higher fat and calorie count than 95 percent lean ground beef. For a 4-ounce serving, lean ground beef boasts 24 grams of protein and just 160 calories and 4 grams of fat. And, ground beef just feels more like comfort food (since I grew up in an era before we regularly ground up our Thanksgiving bird to eat it year-round).

To make this dish even easier, you can prep it up to the step of layering all of the ingredients in the slow-cooker, then refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just pop the slow-cooker insert into the cooker and walk away.

Slow Cooker Southwestern Stew Start to finish: 4 hours on high, 8 hours on low (20 minutes active) Servings: 6

1 teaspoon olive oil 1½ pounds lean ground beef (93 percent or leaner) 1 large yellow onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika

28-ounce can diced tomatoes 12-ounce bottle light beer 1 cup prepared tomato salsa (mild or hot) 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 cup frozen corn (do not thaw) 1 cup frozen chopped spinach (do not thaw) Juice of 1/2 lime Kosher salt and ground black pepper

To serve: Crushed baked tortilla chips Cubed avocado Low-fat plain Greek yogurt Chopped fresh cilantro Chopped tomatoes Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

(except the lime juice, salt and pepper) over it. Cook on high for 4 hours or 7 to 8 hours on low. Stir in the lime juice, then season with salt and pepper. Serve with optional toppings.

Cherry cake is delicious love child of brownies and pudding

20 ounces frozen pitted cherries 2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup cocoa powder This chocolate cake is more delicious 2 cups all-purpose flour and more indulgent than any dessert 1/2 teaspoon salt has a right to be. And you will thank us 1¼ cups (2½ sticks) unsalted butter, room for that. temperature The goal was a chocolate cake that 1 cup granulated sugar combined the best attributes of brown1 cup packed brown sugar ies and pudding. Which is to say, we 6 eggs wanted it both tender and cakey, but 8 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate also richly moist, even gooey. And the The Associated Press

best environment for cooking such a cake turned out to be the slow cooker. It heats the cake slowly and gently while retaining all the moisture.

For extra decadence, we built our cake over a layer of frozen cherries, giving it a Black Forest effect. The resulting dessert has a cakey exterior, but a pudding-like center. Served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, you’ll never believe this treat came from your slow cooker.

Feel free to mix up the fruit. If cherries don’t do it for you, substitute frozen blueberries, peaches or mango chunks.

And feel free to assemble and refrigerate it the night before in the slow cooker crock, then just pop it in the cooker the next day.

Chocolate Cherry Slow Cooker Pudding Cake Start to finish: 4 hours 20 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 12

Cooked in a slow cooker, this chocolate cake combines the best attributes of brownies and pudding.

Mist the interior of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Arrange the cherries in an even layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, two at a time, beating well between additions.

Stir in the flour-powdered sugar mixture in two additions, then stir in the bittersweet chocolate. Spoon the mixture over the cherries and smooth the top.

Cover and cook on low for 3½ to 4 hours, or until set up at the edges and very fudgy and pudding-like in the middle. Let sit for 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Colonial Cafe Helps Community With Fundraising Efforts SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Having a partner in your community to assist with your fundraising efforts can greatly increase your ability to meet or exceed your organization’s financial needs. Colonial Cafe, an outstanding member of the Fox Valley business community for over 100 years, hosts special “Colonial Cares” Nights on pre-determined Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for non-profit organizations and individuals.

The program is offered at all seven Colonial Cafe locations.

One very satisfied customer is Deborah Christy, Director of Bridges Montessori Academy in St. Charles. For the past six years, Christy has worked with Colonial Cafe to plan two or three fundraising events per year. “Colonial helps us choose a night, gives us a broad time frame (usually 4 - 10 pm), and provides us with flyers and stickers to raise awareness of our events,” said Christy. “We send out emails

and flyers to our families and our alumni; it’s always a great time, as our students and their families love to see one another outside of school.”

Christy also maintains that Colonial Cafe staff are very understanding and cooperative, and are aware of the needs of families. They provide menus with items that are enticing for all age groups, and are always ready to accommodate the amount of people who come together for the fundraiser. “Our school has over 100 students from Preschool through 5th grade,” said Christy. “They accommodate the kids’ dietary restrictions, such as food allergies, right on the spot. It’s clear that Colonial wants to serve the community with these events. They appreciate feedback and do all they can to make the next event even better,” she added.

In 2015, Colonial Cafe donated $15,000 to local non-profit organizations throughout the Fox Valley. For more information about how you can plan a fundraising event for your non-profit organization, please visit www.colonialcafe.com, or contact your local Colonial Cafe to speak with a manager. You can call (630) 584-0088 for a directory of all Colonial Cafe locations.

Naveen Jain, the founder of InfoSpace, said, “Just think of the opportunities we can unlock by making education as addictive as a video game. This type of experiential, addictive learning improves decision-making skills and increases the processing speed and spatial skills of the brain.”

Yes, but how can we make education as addictive as a video game? A child -- or grown-up -- must want to learn.

The word “unlock” is relevant to this deal. South is in five diamonds.

After West leads the heart queen, how should the play proceed?

The first three bids in the auction are easy, but North has a close rebid.

Here, a jump to three no-trump would not work if East leads a heart; and bidding it with ace-third could wrong-side the contract if South has queen-doubleton, for example. If willing to force to game (certainly reasonable with 12 points, two aces and one king), two hearts, fourth-suit game-forcing, is a better rebid. Then, when South shows 5-5 in the minors, North can support diamonds. South bids game with his minimum.

South apparently has only two losers: one spade and one diamond.

But given the bad minor-suit splits, he must be careful not to get locked out of his clubs.

After winning with the heart ace, declarer should run the diamond 10, which West ought to duck. Then, when the diamond nine wins the next trick, South must be careful to cash dummy’s club honors before leading a third trump.

West wins, but cannot stop declarer from reaching his hand with a heart ruff, drawing trumps, and running clubs.
