Good morning, McHenry County ...

Make County Board pensions go away Some McHenry County Board members sure are spending a lot of time blaming others and berating those who brought to light the fact that they might not be eligible for the pensions they say they are earning.

We’ve heard a lot about how this is part of state Rep. Jack Franks’ vendetta against the board and how Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Executive Director Louis Kosiba has been played as a political pawn by Franks.

Frankly, it’s hard to believe board members get to that threshold.

The IMRF policy manual states that, barring “highly unusual circumstances,” officials elected to local governments will not qualify for pensions under the 1,000-hour threshold.

Focus should be placed on eliminating this

STUART, Fla. – Authorities in Florida arrested a man they said stole a BMW after trying to buy it with a food stamp debit card.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office told news outlets in a statement that 36-year-old Nicholas Jackson was arrested Friday and charged with grand theft auto.

Deputies said Jackson was turned away at the Pompano Beach auto dealership after trying to buy the $60,000 car using his EBT card and a credit card.

However, deputies said the suspect returned the next night and stole the car along with keys from 60 other vehicles.

Deputies said they later found Jackson with the car and the keys after he ran out of gas because he didn’t have money to fill the tank.

Program looks to help officers change clients’ behaviors

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – It’s likely a person who was on probation five or 10 years ago might have a different experience with the McHenry County Probation and Court Services department than people who are on probation today, Jodi Croner said.

Croner is an adult drug court probation officer and has been a probation officer in McHenry for eight years. When her client, 32-year-old Jason Beaty of Wonder Lake, started drug court in 2013, he didn’t think Croner was there to help.

“I always had this line in the sand, that it was like us against them, and they were always out to get us,” Beaty said of probation officers.

Today, officers and supervisors in Walt the probation department are Pesterfield, going through a McHenry County Probation and Court program aimed at teaching Services director skills to help change behaviors in clients, rather than only emphasizing compliance with the court, said Walt Pesterfield, director of probation and court services.

“If you change behavior, then that’s more of a lifestyle where they’re not coming back into the system,” Pesterfield said.

In 2013, the most recent data available for adult recidivism rates in McHenry County, about 8 percent of the 1,331 people on probation were ar-

Officers and staff in the probation department have been going through a training called EPICS II that changes the way probation officers interact with people on probation. rested again, according to documents provided by Roger Bacon, chief managing probation officer.

Of the 34 drug court graduates since 2011, about 10 percent are re-offenders, said Jason Sterwerf, director of McHenry County specialty courts.

Pesterfield said it costs about $15 a day to have someone on probation, compared with about $70 to $90 a day to keep someone in jail or prison.

“If we invest our time and money and efforts in things that are proven to work, then we reduce recidivism,” Pesterfield said. “That is kind of the bottom line, which equals a safer community and citizens that are more productive.”

The training program, called Effective Practices in Correctional Settings II, costs about $1,500 a person, and 44 people are going through it, Pesterfield said. Since September, half of the probation staff have started training, and the other half will start training when the first session ends in May. Coaches also will be trained to

LOCAL NEWS LOCAL BRIEF Woodstock library to celebrate 125 years

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Public Library is holding a celebration for its 125th birthday Wednesday at the library.

People can come from 6 to 7 p.m. to the library, 414 W. Judd St., for cake and ice cream, Library Director Nick Weber said.

The library first opened its doors in a small room in the Woodstock Opera House on March 23, 1891, Weber said.

It moved to its current site in 1959, and has been remodeled and expanded once since then, he said.

Staff will be in costume of the time period when the library started in the community, and prizes will be given out at the celebration, Weber said.

Request for special prosecutor in IMRF probe withdrawn

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s office withdrew, for now, its request for a special prosecutor to examine whether County Board members are breaking the law by saying they are eligible for pensions if they in fact are not.

Assistant State’s Attorney Norm Vinton filed the request Monday, stating it is too early to ask the court to appoint a special prosecutor while the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund is conducting its own investigation as to whether County Board members are working the minimum 1,000 hours a year to qualify for pensions, as most of them say they are doing. “… The appointment of a special prosecutor at this time may be premature as the IMRF and its audit procedures are ongoing and the appointment of a special prosecutor may duplicate the actions of IMRF and cause two different governmental bodies to undertake the same activities,” Vinton wrote.

The motion states the state’s attorney’s office might refile the request should the IMRF audit not resolve the issue. The state’s attorney’s office cannot investigate the matter on its own because it acts as the county government’s attorney.

The IMRF, at the behest of state Rep. Jack Franks, is looking into whether County Board members are working the minimum amount, which adds up to 20 hours a week for 50 weeks. Most County Board members when asked last summer by the IMRF signed affidavits attesting to it. The state standard is 600 hours a year unless a local government increases it to 1,000, which the County Board did in 1997.

Bianchi’s office filed the special prosecutor request Thursday, the same day County Board members spent almost 90 minutes berating IMRF Executive Director Louis Kosiba, alleging he allowed himself and the IMRF to become political pawns of Franks, D-Marengo, who they allege has had a personal vendetta against the board and its members for years.

The investigation is ongoing, but Kosiba backed off an April 4 deadline that IMRF gave County Board members to prove their work hours for 2015 and 2016.

Before Franks’ involvement, the IMRF

last summer asked County Board members to sign affidavits attesting to their work hours, after receiving a tip from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150. The union, which represents county government building maintenance workers and McHenry County Division of Transportation drivers, did so in response to the board’s symbolic April 2015 vote to back Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda,” which proposes major curtailing of collective bargaining powers.

Franks said he respectfully disagreed with the decision to withdraw the special prosecutor request, noting the IMRF investigation was common knowledge when the request was first made.

“The IMRF review is noncriminal in nature as it only deals with pension eligibility,” Franks said. “A special prosecutor on the other hand would be able to determine whether potential criminal activity has Rep. occurred. Furthermore, the Jack Franks special prosecutor would not interfere with an IMRF review – they are mutually exclusive, and the special prosecutor would have subpoena power that IMRF lacks.”

All but four of the County Board’s 24 members are paying into IMRF, according to records. But the IMRF’s rules state people elected to county, township and municipal governments under the 1,000hour threshold likely will not qualify for pensions, “barring highly unusual circumstances.”

Elected officials under IMRF rules can count hours spent on preparing for and attending meetings, addressing constituent or employee issues, and attendance at functions in an official capacity, according to rules. Being “on call” for constituents or time spent commuting cannot be counted.

Eleven of the DuPage County Board’s 19 members and 16 of the 21 members of the Lake County Board participate, according to IMRF – those two collar counties also follow the 1,000-hour minimum. The participation rate of the Kane County Board is comparable to the McHenry County Board – 21 of its 25 members participate – but Kane County government operates under the lower 600-hour standard.

LOCAL BRIEF

Village president arrested Police find cocaine, shotgun at his house

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Hebron Village President John Jacobson was arrested at his home Tuesday on drug and firearms charges after police found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition at his home after a March 17 incident.

Jacobson, 68, faces charges for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony; unlawful possession of a firearm without a requisite firearms owner identification card, a Class 3 felony; two counts of unlawful possession of firearm ammunition; and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

The charges are the latest brush with the law for Jacobson, who faced drug charges during his 2013 campaign after police say they found crack cocaine in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

After being elected, Jacobson pleaded

guilty to those charges but was able to keep his office. He later faced charges for driving under the influence in Wisconsin in October 2013. His drug-related probation period ended in July 2014 without action from prosecutors.

Village trustees in 2014 publicly questioned his leadership, and a Northwest Herald investigation found Jacobson had been receiving and forwarding photos of naked children and adult pornographic images using McHenry County College’s email system when he was disJohn missed as a custodian Jacobson there in 2013.

Police said the latest charges came after McHenry County Sheriff’s Office patrol officers were dispatched to Jacobson’s home on the 12300 block of Jacob Avenue in the early hours of March 17, when Hebron police were not on duty.

A female friend of Jacobson, later identified as Jeanna Rosing, had called 911 to report Jacobson was not breathing and was beginning to turn blue.

St. Patrick’s Day crackdown leads to 3 arrests, 58 citations

Police said they issued 38 citations for unlawful use of an electronic communications device, 11 citations for speeding, four citations for other moving and equipment violations, three citations for safety belt violations and two citations for operating an uninsured vehicle.

Police also said three drivers were arrested during the campaign. The arrests were for driving with a revoked license, driving with a suspended license and obstructing identification, and speeding 26 to 34 mph over the speed limit.

The campaign was part of a statewide effort that ran from March 15 to March 20 in an effort to discourage drunken driving and seat belt violations during late-night hours. The Illinois Department of Transportation funded the campaign.

arrived on the scene and took over efforts to revive Jacobson, later taking him to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where he was treated and later released.

Police said deputies began investigating what occurred, and while speaking with Rosing, officials noticed drugs and drug paraphernalia in plain view.

A search warrant was signed by a judge and executed later that day. A search of Jacobson’s residence revealed less than 1 gram of cocaine, two crack pipes, a Chore Boy, a shotgun and some ammunition, the sheriff’s office said.

The sheriff’s office worked with the McHenry County state’s attorney’s office and approved multiple charges and warrants for Jacobson. Police served Jacobson with the warrants and took him into custody Tuesday.

Authorities transported Jacobson to the McHenry County jail, where he is being held on $25,000 bond. Jacobson will appear before a judge at 8 a.m. Wednesday, according to the sheriff’s website.

Rosing, 27, of Lake Geneva, later was transported to the McHenry County jail for three unrelated outstanding warrants against her for retail theft, police said.

dors and surge protection to ensure communications don’t get cut off.

“If you’re a regional dispatch center, that would be a pretty big deal,” Lee told the City Council.

The total construction cost is estimated between $893,000 and $997,000, according to City Council documents, but Jones said police administrators already are preparing grant proposals to submit to the state.

Related to the new facility, an intergovernmental agreement binding McHenry, Woodstock, Harvard and the McHenry Township Fire Protection District also was approved as part of the consent agenda Monday.

The agreement says the city of McHenry will maintain operational control of the consolidated dispatch center, including personnel.

According to city documents, it also establishes an oversight board of directors to develop policies and procedures and provide budgetary oversight, and establishes a cost-sharing structure, which is based on the number of calls each entity gets.

The anticipated total cost after revenue is listed as roughly $1.28 million, which will be split among the partner entities based on the number of calls each receives.

The thought is that the cost after revenue will decrease as more customers seek service from NERCOMM, documents show.

“Right now what’s happening is all of these dispatch centers are going away and most have multiple agencies they dispatch for,” Jones said. “They’re all deciding where they’re going to go, and what we’re doing is making ourselves available to communities who might want us to dispatch for them.”

The state mandate requires the consolidation be complete by July 1, 2017.

McHENRY – An architect firm was hired Monday night by the city of McHenry to do design work for an expanded dispatch facility, which will house the new regional dispatch services.

Currently the third largest in the county, the McHenry Police Department Dispatch Center will be expanded further to include the cities of Woodstock and Harvard in response to a state mandate to cut the number of dispatch centers in half.

It currently dispatches for McHenry police, Johnsburg police, McCullom Lake police, McHenry Township Fire Protection District, Marengo fire, Marengo rescue and Union fire.

The expanded center will be called the McHenry County Northeastern Regional Communications Center, or NERCOMM. Oak Brook-based FGM Architects will be designing the new facility for about $138,500 after the City Council approved a service agreement with a 6-0 vote. Geri Condon, Ward 7, was absent.

The agreement includes not only the construction design services, but also furniture and audiovisual equipment, officials said during the meeting.

McHenry Police Chief John Jones said the project will make larger the current dispatch center on the first floor of the municipal center, 333 Green St., and push the police administration up a floor where the parks department used to work.

Those staff members were able to relocate across the street to the new McHenry Recreation Center, Jones said.

“We have three work stations [now],” Jones said. “We’re going to expand to nine, have a supervisors office on that floor, have a break room for dispatchers.”

The expansion also will include increasing the number of dispatchers from 12 to about 20, he added.

FGM architect Ray Lee said building emergency dispatch centers produces a number of specific challenges, such as high resiliency for major storms, coordination with radio ven-

Trial begins for man accused of sex assault

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man on trial this week is accused of sexually assaulting a young girl he knew.

Erik J. Avila-Arredondo, 36, was arrested in September 2014 and later indicted on four counts of criminal sexual assault, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, two counts of indecent solicitation of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Prosecutors are arguing he touched the girl when she was younger than 13 years old on multiple occasions while they resided in the same residence.

Avila-Arredondo was acquainted with the alleged victim’s mother for nine years, prosecutors said.

The most serious charge against Avila-Arredondo carries a possible prison term of between six and 30 years.

The soft-spoken girl, now 15, told the jury Avila-Arredondo touched her inappropriately many times and sexually assaulted her. She told the jury

the contact began when she was 5 or 6 years old.

The girl said she didn’t tell her mother about the alleged abuse until after a visit to the doctor for a routine physical – a few years after the alleged abuse began – because she didn’t how her mother would react.

“I felt bad. I thought it was my fault, and I didn’t know how to bring it up to her,” the Erik J. Avila- girl said during testimony.

Arredondo Her mother said she found out the girl was depressed after the physical and she began seeing a counselor.

Francisco J. Botto, Avila-Arredondo’s attorney, told the jury a child abuse report was not filed when she was seeing a counselor.

Botto is expected to cross-examine the girl Wednesday morning.

The trial before McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer could wrap up Wednesday.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Two restaurants in the village failed underage compliance checks conducted by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, the agency said.

Bistro Wasabi, 4590 Algonquin Road, and Alfredo’s Pizza and Pasta, 4560 Algonquin Road, failed the checks, which are conducted by state and local law enforcement officials and underage participants recruited from area high schools and colleges.

The teams randomly visit liquor stores, restaurants and bars in communities around the state to check for compliance with state laws mandating no liquor is sold to people younger than 21.

According to the commission’s website, establishments cited for selling to minors appear before the Board of Commissioners, where a fine, suspension or revocation of liquor license can be issued.

The other 13 establishments passed the agency’s compliance checks, officials said.

Hawks’ prospect facing felony charges for ‘revenge porn’ video Could see prison time if found guilty

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A Chicago Blackhawks prospect faces felony “revenge porn” charges after police say he distributed a private, sexual video of a Sycamore woman.

Garret E. Ross, 23, of Rockford is accused of using an explicit video of the woman to get revenge on her because he blamed her for his girlfriend breaking up with him.

Ross now faces charges of nonconsensual dissemination of a private sexual video, a crime punishable by one to three years in prison.

Ross is a left-winger in his third season with the Rockford IceHogs, an affiliate of the Blackhawks.

The woman contacted Sycamore police in September because she was

concerned about a private video she made in January being sent to other men.

The victim told authorities the video was meant only for a man she was dating at the time, another IceHogs player who has not been charged, court records show.

The victim told police Ross was angry with her and suspected Garret E. she told his then-girlRoss friend he was using a dating app to cheat on her, court records show.

Ross sent the pornographic video Aug. 31 from his phone to the woman, who then feared it had been sent to other men without her permission.

signed a measure in late December 2014 making the nonconsensual distribution of private sexual images a felony.

Ross’ attorney, John Palmer, was not immediately available to comment, and Anderson and DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack declined to comment on whether the video had been sent to other men or if more charges would be filed.

Ross’ teammate has not been charged because police were not able to find the video on his phone, Sycamore Police Cmdr. Michael Anderson said.

“We would have to get a copy of that media, not just the record,” he said.

Ross has been out on bond since posting $500 bail of the $5,000 bond set on the warrant for his arrest.

DeKalb County Judge Philip Montgomery agreed to allow Ross to travel outside the U.S. and Canada to compete with the team, records show.

He is due back in court Monday.

VIEWS Joan Oliver tance. But you’d be wrong.

I went online to see whether there was an opt-out option. Nope. Then I tried to call the Illinois Health Connect number.

That sent me on a phone-system odyssey without actually talking to a human being.

That meant I would have to go to the Department of Human Services office in Woodstock, which doesn’t take appointments; it’s first-come, first-served.

Trip No. 1 was on a Tuesday amid freezing rain that should have kept folks away. It did. However, all the state’s computers were down.

Trip No. 2 was that Friday. When I arrived at 10:15 a.m., there were about 30 people seated and 20 more in line.

The office sees people only until 1 p.m., so I knew I’d never get in.

Frustrated, I tried to call again.

This time I was able to leave a number

for the state to call me back. Hilariously, the state robo-calls to tell you to call them back so you can wait on hold again.

When I did reach a human, I was told I could opt out of Illinois Health Connect, but I’d still need to speak to DHS to get out of Medicaid.

Oh, and I needed to update my phone number.

That just meant they now have my phone number. I started to receive robo-calls telling me that I had to have my husband choose a primary care physician or one would be chosen for me.

See why I felt the need to laugh?

This still meant Trip No. 3 to Woodstock. I got up at the crack of dawn to be first in line.

The office opens at 8 a.m., but they don’t start taking names until 8:30 a.m. and don’t start helping people until 9 a.m.

When I got my chance to explain what I needed, I was told my case was assigned to Lake County!

Are you kidding me? I told the woman behind the glass. I live in McHenry County.

She said she’d let me talk to a case manager anyway so that my case could be transferred.

The case manager, once she finally figured out that I wanted to opt out, was very helpful and I was out of there in about 10 minutes.

I was told written confirmation would be forthcoming in a week.

In the meantime, we received a letter informing us that my husband had been assigned a doctor … in Chicago.

If we were poor enough to require Medicaid, wouldn’t it be cost-prohibitive to send us to Chicago to see a doctor?

Just when my patience was about to evaporate, that promised opt-out letter arrived.

Heaven help us if we actually get to the point of really needing the state’s help.

I’m not sure my sense of humor would survive.

Sometimes all there is to do is laugh.

So it was as my husband and I found ourselves hacking our way through a jungle of red tape that was not of our making.

The first inkling something was amiss came in a letter from the state of Illinois informing me my husband had to choose a primary care doctor through the Illinois Health Connect program by March 29 or one would be assigned to him.

Wait a minute … I had already jumped through hoops to find us an affordable health care plan to meet the coverage deadline.

Apparently something in all the paperwork I’ve been filling out since my husband was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s made him eligible for Medicaid.

The only problem is we did not actually apply for it, and, at this point, we don’t want it. Our family’s belt has gotten tighter since my husband had to stop working, but the state is worse off than we are.

You’d think cash-strapped Illinois would make it easy to decline its assis-

agoodrich@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – Years of granting flexibility and support to an employee has put Prairie Grove School District 46 in the running for the highest recognition given by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The district is one of 30 finalists for the 2016 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, commonly referred to as the Freedom Award, according to a recent release from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

Lt. Col. Patty Klop (colonel select), who did five years of active duty in the Marine Corps before joining the reserves, said she submitted a 27-page nomination for the district after receiving crucial support. Klop also has been an adapted physical education teacher for District 46 for the past 12 years, working part time with students who have disabilities.

“It’s been a real source of stability

and comfort for me over the years,” she said. “I’ve been on several deployments, and [District 46] has always been there.”

Klop said if she worked for a different organization or company, the high number of absences during deployments to Iraq, Germany and Afghanistan might not have been tolerated as they were in the district.

Each year, up to 15 Freedom Awards are presented to employers in three categories: large employers with 500 or more employees; small employers of fewer than 500 workers; and public sector. This year’s finalist group is comprised of 11 large employers, 10 small employers and nine public sector employers. District 46 is the only finalist from Illinois.

There were more than 2,400 nominations this year throughout the country, Guam-CNMI, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. This year’s Freedom Award recipients will be announced in late June, the release said.

JOHNSBURG – The southbound lanes of Route 31 in Johnsburg were closed for more than nine hours Tuesday after a Carnauba wax spill that occurred in the late morning.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District crews were dispatched at 11:15 a.m. for the chemical spill on Route 31 near Johnsburg Road.

Officials requested a hazardous material crew from the Woodstock Fire Rescue Department just after 1 p.m.

The road was reduced to one northbound lane as officials worked throughout the afternoon and evening to clean the spill.

The road eventually reopened about 8:45 p.m.

Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen said a semitrailer was driving near Johnsburg Road with a barrel of the chemical when the barrel began leaking out of the trailer.

He said the Carnauba wax was in liquid form but solidified once it came in contact with the pavement and formed a wax coating over three of the road’s four lanes for about 100 to 150 yards.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency arrived in the afternoon and released fire personnel from the scene.

Police and a cleanup crew remained on the site to clear the road, and the Illinois State Police came and inspected the truck, Von Allmen said.

16 HUNTLEY

Trustees request more on relocation of creek

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley Committee of the Whole requested to see more engineering information before advancing a landowner’s request to reroute a creek along Route 47 to make the land more attractive to developers.

Representatives of The Horizon Group, which owns the property at the northwest corner of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive, presented its proposal to relocate Eakin Creek at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

Engineer Dwayne Gillian from V3 Companies said the creek currently runs across the property in a northwest direction, but the landowner would like to change it to flow north along the west side of Route 47 and west along the north side of the property.

“That would change two triangular pieces of property into one piece of property that would be better suited for development,” Gillian said. “It’s

a highly traveled corner for development from a client’s point of view and the village’s point of view. The alignment of that creek creates hurdles that any normal big user won’t overcome.”

Huntley Director of Development Services Charles Nordman said the southern portion of the site is zoned for a corporate office park and the northern part is zoned as open space.

There would be no guarantee zoning would be changed for a future development proposal.

Gillian said it likely would take two years to get the necessary state and federal approvals for the proposed relocation.

Several trustees suggested a public hearing with the residents of nearby Sun City homes. Village President Charles Sass noted there is a berm between those homes, but the change in the creek could require extra planting there.

Sass directed the petitioner to come back with more specific information at the committee’s April 7 meeting.

what you need to do, but if you’re made to think about it … they start coming up with the solutions and they start coming up with some of the answers,” Croner said. “It’s going to mean more to them because they’re the ones bringing this to the table. It’s going to stick with them.”

For Beaty, the approach has worked.

Beaty, a former drug addict who has been to prison eight times, is working as a McHenry County outreach coordinator for A Man in Recovery Foundation, and hands out free naloxone kits to anyone who might need it to save someone who’s overdosing on heroin or

other opioids.

“When you change your thought process from doing things for yourself on a daily basis, from waking up every morning to try and find out how you can help people other than yourself, it makes a huge difference,” Beaty said. “And [the probation department] taught me that.”

lead the program so new staff can be trained in coming years, he said.

Seth Krause, supervisor for adult probation, said training for the EPICS II program has been “amazing.”

“I always found that it was frustrating because there was no set way to kind of deal with some of the frustrating, repetitive behaviors that we see out of clients,” he said. “And so EPICS is a very kind of structured way to deal with some of that stuff.”

Part of the training requires officers to record and review their interviews with clients to test their motivational interviewing skills.

Krause said the motivational interviewing helps the clients see reasons to change for themselves – not for the court, their family or any other reason other than understanding themselves.

“If we can help them understand ways to change their behavior permanently, then the chances that they come back are reduced greatly,” Krause said.

Croner said the department already had been moving in this direction before starting EPICS II, but the training is making the officers better at what they do. Helping the client be part of finding the solution to their own problems also has been effective, she said.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford attends an executive committee meeting May 28, 2013, at Toronto City Hall. Ford, whose career crashed in a drug-driven, obscenity-laced debacle, died Tuesday at age 46 after fighting cancer, his family said. da’s reputation for sedate, unpretentious politics. His tenure as mayor of the country’s largest city was marred by revelations about his drinking problems and illegal drug use. He was repeatedly videotaped and photographed while intoxicated in public.

But his popularity continued. After a scandal broke about Ford’s use of crack, hundreds of people lined up for bobblehead dolls of the mayor, signed

by Ford himself. Ford spent countless hours taking pictures with residents eager to be photographed with an international celebrity.

Even after losing his mayoral office, he was elected by a landslide to a City Council seat, a job he held until his death.

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, on whose show Ford appeared, tweeted

his condolences Tuesday and called him “an unforgettable guy who loved his job and city like few men I’ve met.”

When Ford was elected mayor, his bluster was widely known. A plurality of voters backed him, eager to shake things up at a City Hall they viewed as elitist and wasteful. Ford’s voter base resided mainly in the outer suburbs, a result of the Conservative provincial government’s decision to force liberal Toronto to merge with five of its neighboring municipalities in 1998.

Ford appealed to conservative-leaning, working-class residents with his populist, common-man touch and with promises to slash spending, cut taxes and end what he called “the war on the car.” He first won as mayor by promising to “stop the gravy train” of government spending.

Civil rights photographer Bob Adelman dies at age 85

By JENNIFER KAY

The Associated Press MIAMI – Bob Adelman, a photographer who documented the civil rights movement across the Deep South, has died at age 85.

Adelman was pronounced dead at his Miami Beach home Saturday afternoon, according to Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez. An autopsy is pending, and Adelman’s death remains under investigation, Rodriguez said.

Adelman volunteered his services as a photographer to the Congress of Ra-

cial Equality, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and other civil rights organizations in the 1960s. The work put him on the front lines of the civil rights movement, frequently in the company of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., whom he called “Doc.” “Now they seem like momentous events. At Bob Adelman the time, they were covered in the back pages of newspapers, for the most part. The only time blacks appeared in newspapers at that time was when there was violence,” Adelman

told The Associated Press in 2014.

He went on to shoot the covers of national magazines and the front pages of national newspapers, but he always considered himself an activist.

Among Adelman’s best-known images were a shot of King and his wife, rain dampening their clothes, leading a crowd on a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965; a sequence of frames showing a small group of young black people struggling to stand under a blast of water from a fire hose in Birmingham, Alabama; and King delivering his “I Have a Dream” speech, raising his right hand over his head as he cre-

scendos with the words of an old spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Adelman was represented by the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, where director Karen Marks said Tuesday that his big personality would be missed.

“He was one of those guys who wasn’t afraid to get in close to the action, and he continued that for most of his life,” Marks said. “He was not afraid to say or do anything.”

Born in 1931, Adelman grew up in a Jewish family in The Rockaways in Queens, New York.

TORONTO – Knocking over a grandmother while rushing to the defense of his brother, who was insulting spectators in the City Council chamber.

Threatening “murder” in a profane, incoherent rant captured on video.

Swearing and slurring, calling the police chief a derogatory name and trying to imitate a Jamaican accent.

One after another, Rob Ford’s statements and actions became nightly fodder for TV comedians and an embarrassment to many of the suburbanites he championed as Toronto’s mayor.

But as he sought a second term in 2014, Ford was diagnosed with a rare cancer.

Malignant liposarcoma in his abdomen forced him to do what months of scandals could not – drop his bid for re-election. Ford underwent aggressive chemotherapy treatments but succumbed to the illness on Tuesday. He was 46.

“With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Ford family announces the passing of their beloved son, brother, husband and father, Councillor Rob Ford, earlier today,” a statement from his family said. “A dedicated man of the people, Councillor Ford spent his life serving the citizens of Toronto.”

Current Toronto Mayor John Tory said Ford was a “profoundly human guy” and said “the city is reeling with this news.”

“He was a man who spoke his mind and who ran for office because of the deeply felt convictions that he had,” Tory said. “I know there are many who were affected by his gregarious nature and approach to public service.”

Ford rode into office in 2010 on a backlash against urban elites. He cast an image sharply at odds with Cana-

His supporters got perhaps more turmoil than they expected.

The international spotlight fell on Ford in May 2013, when Toronto Star and the U.S. website Gawker reported the existence of a video that appeared to show the mayor inhaling from a crack pipe. He denied the existence of the video but later backtracked when police said they had obtained it.

Although he became the subject of a police investigation, Ford never was charged with a crime.

“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Ford told reporters. “But, no, do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors.”

According to police interviews, members of Ford’s staff accused the mayor of frequently drinking, driving while intoxicated and making sexual advances toward a female staffer.

Ford drew gasps when he used crude language on live television to deny telling a staffer he wanted to have oral sex. The father of two school-age children said he was “happily married” and that he enjoys enough oral sex at home.

Disgusted city councilors turned their backs on Ford in a council meeting that day. Jon Stewart played the clip of the remark that night on the “Daily Show” and yelled, “What?

What?! What?! WHAT!? WHAT!?”

Despite immense pressure, Ford refused to resign. The City Council stripped Ford of most of his powers but lacked the authority to force him out of office because he wasn’t convicted of a crime.

Ford announced he was entering rehab in April 2014 after newspaper reports detailed three different nights in which the mayor was extremely intoxicated. One report cited a video that appeared to show him again smoking a crack pipe.

STATE

Impasse spurs creativity in funding shelters

By ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois homeless shelters struggling to get by without state aid during the budget stalemate could get a much-needed financial boost through specialty scratch-off lottery tickets.

A bipartisan measure pending in the Illinois Legislature would create a new $3 scratch ticket and designate all the proceeds beyond administrative costs and prize money for grants to help shelters that serve the tens of thousands of homeless people statewide.

As social service providers suffer statewide without government aid, the proposal demonstrates one instance in which lawmakers are scrambling to find a way to sustain funding for one of the many programs that can no longer operate at full capacity. The failure of the Democratic-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner to agree on a budget that should’ve taken effect July 1 has left many social service providers facing uncertain futures.

The Illinois Department of Human Services, which provides programming for the state’s homeless, youth and disabled, owes over 800 private contractors about $168 million in back payments.

And every day that goes by without a budget adds to an already staggering state debt. Comptroller Leslie Munger said the state’s backlogged bills could total $10 billion by June 30. “(My plan) is a creative way to address homelessness in our area and create a long term path toward independency among this population,” said south suburban Chicago Democrat Rep. Thaddeus Jones, one of three legislators sponsoring the bill. He said his proposal is one way to fund human services without adding more costs to the still undecided budget.

Beds are folded and clothes are stacked by residents at Helping Hands of Springfield homeless shelter Tuesday in Springfield. Illinois homeless shelters would get much-needed financial help during the state’s budget stalemate under a proposal to send them proceeds from a newly created lottery scratch ticket. The state’s budget for the current year should have taken effect July 1.

Jones said he also wants the tickets to bring awareness to homeless youth and veterans in a state where homelessness affects about 38,000 people, according to a 2014 Department of Human Services report on state funded shelters.

Helping Hands of Springfield is one Illinois shelter housing over 40 adult men and women a night that could benefit from Jones’ plan. Its executive director, Rod Lane, said that while Jones’ proposal is a good idea, he would prefer predictable and timely payments from the state.

“Any money would be beneficial,

103 E. Van Buren St Woodstock (815) 575-9710

but our hope is to get funding restored,” Lane said.

Lane said he expects the location will close its doors on weekends to non-residents who come to shower, eat and retreat from inclement weather because it can’t pay employees to work weekend and overnight shifts. It takes about $200,000 to operate the shelter annually. About $100,000 of the shelter’s funding that would have come from the state has not been funded because of the budget impasse.

But Rep. David Harris, an Arlington Heights Republican who has been out-

spoken in his opposition to piecemeal budgeting, said he’s concerned a new scratch-off game could divert consumer money from other causes. Specialty games that have been approved by the Legislature include support for cancer research, HIV/AIDS awareness, veteran support, Multiple Sclerosis and the Special Olympics.

“To add another one, you’re telling the department how to market games and which ones are viable,” Harris said.

“There are probably a hundred different causes one would say deserve a scratch-off game.”

Illinois, union head to court over layoffs The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – The state and the nation’s largest union of public employees will head to court over an arbitrator’s decision that Gov. Bruce Rauner was within his rights to order the layoffs of more than 150 state workers last year.

The state has gone to court in Sangamon County to uphold the ruling, the State Journal-Register reported.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees plans to file a counter-claim asking the court to vacate the ruling.

The dispute is the result of an arbitrator’s ruling issued in response to a grievance filed by the union, which represents 109 of the affected workers, alleging that the Rauner administration acted improperly or violated contract language governing layoffs.

The administration argues that the layoffs were necessary to save money amid the lack of a state budget or were part of agency reorganizations.

Bruce But the union Rauner claimed that most of the state workers continued to get paid even without a state budget. It said the layoffs were

Duckworth suit’s April trial postponed; May hearing set

Union County Circuit Clerk’s Office officials said a May 12 hearing for summary judgment in Rep Tammy the case was set during a hearing on Tuesday. The Duckworth case was to go to trial April 4.

Two employees of a southern Illinois veteran’s home filed the lawsuit in 2008 alleging workplace retaliation. The Illinois Sen. Mark Attorney General’s Office Kirk is handling Duckworth’s defense and has previously asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed.

Duckworth last week won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate and will face Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk in the November general election.

Sister of man who died in custody: ‘Hand over video’

CHICAGO – The sister of a 24-year-old who died in Chicago police custody appealed directly to Mayor Rahm Emanuel to let the family view squad-car video of the 2015 incident.

The appeals court stopped plans for late voting at the request of Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Officials in Adams County – along with several other Illinois jurisdictions – ran out of ballots during last Tuesday’s primary and voters were turned away.

Madigan argued the state constitution doesn’t allow for late voting. Barnard said it’s a matter of fairness.

Barnard said he will not pursue the case further because of the March 29 deadline to certify election results.

Remains of missing woman identified in Missouri

EDWARDSVILLE – A woman’s dismembered body that was found at an Interstate 70 rest stop nearly 12 years ago in eastern Missouri has been identified, police in Illinois and Missouri said Tuesday.

The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis identified the victim as Deanna Denise Howland of Alton, Illinois. She was

also known as Deanna Denise Barker, Deanna Denise Kinnear and Deanna Denise Froehl.

She would have been 35 at the time of her disappearance.

A highway maintenance worker who was trimming trees found Howland’s headless torso on June 28, 2004, in a picnic area at the rest stop near Wright City, Missouri, about 45 miles west of St. Louis.

Police believe the body was dumped at the rest area after Howland was killed elsewhere.

Major Jeff Connor of the Madison County Sheriff’s Office said that Howland, who had worked as a prostitute, was estranged from her family and only recently was reported missing.

DNA samples provided by members of Howland’s family helped identify her remains, which had appendectomy and cesarean section scars.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about Howland’s death to contact the sheriff’s departments in Warren County or Madison County, Illinois.

Crews uncover hidden murals on building

PEORIA HEIGHTS – Two murals painted on the exterior of a historic building in Peoria Heights were uncovered as crews razed another structure to make way for a parking lot.

Last week, crews were working on a $4 million project to relocate Trefzger’s Bakery when they discovered paintings of a Duryea automobile and women dancing in red dresses on the 121-yearold Hobart building.

It’s unclear whether the paintings have historic significance, so developer Katie Kim hopes someone will come forward with information about the artwork, she told the (Peoria) Journal Star.

“We had no idea they were there,” Kim said. “We saw the paintings and we were like, ‘What? Who? Why?’ ”

Belgian Federal Police via AP

In this image provided by the Belgian Federal Police in Brussels, three men who are suspected of taking part in the attacks at Belgium’s Zaventem Airport are seen. Bombs exploded at the Brussels airport and one of the city’s metro stations Tuesday, killing and wounding scores of people, as a European capital was again locked down amid heightened security threats.

Islamic State claims bombings in Brussels The ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS – Islamic extremists struck Tuesday in the heart of Europe, killing at least 34 people and wounding scores of others in back-to-back bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that again laid bare the continent’s vulnerability to suicide squads.

Bloodied and dazed travelers staggered from the airport after two explosions – at least one blamed on a suicide attacker and another apparently on a suitcase bomb – tore through crowds checking in for morning flights. About 40 minutes later, another rush-hour blast ripped through a subway car in central Brussels as it left the Maelbeek station, in the heart of the European Union’s capital city.

Authorities released a photo taken from closed-circuit TV footage of three men pushing luggage carts in the airport, saying two of them apparently were suicide bombers and that the third – dressed in a light-colored coat, black hat and glasses – was at large. They urged the public to reach out to police if they recognized him. The two men believed to be the suicide attackers apparently were wearing dark gloves on their left hands, possibly to hide detonators.

In police raids Tuesday across Belgium, authorities later found a nail-filled bomb, chemical products and an Islamic State flag in a house in the Schaerbeek neighborhood, the state prosecutors’ office said in a statement.

In its claim of responsibility, the Islamic State group said its members detonated suicide

vests both at the airport and in the subway, where many passengers fled to safety down dark tunnels filled with hazy smoke from the explosion. A small child wailed, and commuters used cellphones to light their way out.

European security officials have been bracing for a major attack for weeks and warned that IS was actively preparing to strike. The arrest Friday of Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, heightened those fears, as investigators said many more people were involved than originally thought and that some are still on the loose.

“In this time of tragedy, this black moment for our country, I appeal to everyone to remain calm but also to show solidarity,” said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, who announced three days of mourning in his country’s deadliest terror strike.

“Last year it was Paris. Today it is Brussels. It’s the same attacks,” French President Francois Hollande said.

Shockwaves from the attacks crossed Europe and the Atlantic, prompting heightened security at airports and other sites.

Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level, shut the airport through Wednesday and ordered a citywide lockdown, deploying about 500 soldiers onto Brussels’ largely empty streets to bolster police checkpoints. France and Belgium both reinforced border security.

Justice ministers and interior ministers from across the 28-nation EU planned an emergency meeting, possibly Thursday morning, to assess the fallout.

U.S. military member among wounded in Brussels

By DAN LAMOTHE

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – A U.S. service member and his family are among those wounded in the attacks Tuesday in Brussels, and the Pentagon still is working to account for other members of the military who may have been nearby, U.S. officials said.

Officials with U.S. European Command said in a statement that the organization continues to closely monitor events in Brussels, and is working with other U.S. agencies and Belgian authorities to determine appropriate security measures to take. One service member and his family “were caught up in this tragedy,” the statement said.

The detail was first reported by the independent Military Times newspaper chain after Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R.-N.J., chairman of the House defense appropriations subcommittee, said during a hearing that six Americans were injured in the attacks, including military family members.

“It’s horrendous,” the congressman said. “I’m sure we are meeting their needs.”

Pentagon officials declined to comment on the severity of the injuries the family suffered, citing privacy concerns.

European Command was working to confirm the safety of all U.S. service members and their families in the areas, but must find those serving full time in the area and those who may have been their while on leave or on official travel.

State Department spokesman John Kirby also said that some U.S. citizens were injured in the attacks, but would not say how many. He also did not elab-

orate on the conditions of the wounded Americans.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Tuesday during a House Armed Services Committee hearing that the U.S. stands ready to provide assistance to allies in Europe as necessary.

“Brussels is an international city, and it has been host to NATO and the European Union for decades,” Carter

said. “Together, we must and we will continue to do everything that we can to protect our homelands and defeat terrorists wherever they threaten us.”

Carter also linked the attack in Belgium to the broader fight to stop the Islamic State.

“No attack – no attack – will affect our resolve to accelerate the defeat of ISIL,” he said, using one of the acronyms for the militant group.

The secretary said that the U.S. has already had a significant impact in Iraq.

Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, with U.S. assistance, have begun the shaping of the battlefield around Mosul, a city in northern Iraq that has been under militant control since June 2014. The death Saturday of Marine Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin, the second U.S. service member killed by enemy action in the campaign against the militants, occurred in support of it, he added. Cardin and several other Marines were hit by a rocket at a fire base south of the city that they’d been at for less than a week.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, and with the other Marines injured in Saturday’s rocket attack,” Carter said. “Their sacrifice will not be forgotten, and our global coalition will complete the mission they were supporting.”

Airport vulnerability evident after attacks 27

A K-9 security officer and his dog walk through a terminal at O’Hare International Airport on Tuesday in Chicago. The airport attack in Brussels highlights one of the most vulnerable stages of aviation security: the time travelers spend between the curb and the checkpoint.

Travelers wait at the counter of Brussels airlines in Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, Israel. have police everyplace.”

Security experts say the keys to effective screening are intelligence and constant change in procedures to keep terrorists guessing.

“Random is always good,” said Brian Jenkins, a senior security analyst at the RAND Corp. Terrorists “don’t like things that they can’t predict. They want to know that a target is unprotected.”

Jenkins added that visible presence of more police would be a deterrent and allow for quicker response to an attack.

In the U.S., airport security is complicated by the division of responsibilities.

Typically, the Transportation Security Administration handles the screening of passengers and baggage but the airport or local police oversee security of terminals, parking lots and other public areas.

There are increased police patrols within terminals during times of heightened security but even then most passengers don’t interact with police and aren’t questioned until they reach the

checkpoint. Airport operators and the TSA note that there are many layers to security, many which are not visible to the public.

The vulnerability of airports outside of the checkpoint has been the subject of studies, recommendations and has led to some changes in airport operations, said Richard Bloom, who teaches aviation security at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. But increased security requires more manpower and costs money.

At Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, all cars are stopped on the way in. Some are searched by armed guards and license plates are scanned by a computer.

Uniformed and undercover armed security personnel are stationed inside and outside the terminals. Cameras – some in plain sight, some hidden – provide additional surveillance. Travelers are subject to profiling and questioning about the purpose of their travel, their personal background and their luggage.

But Tel Aviv is a unique airport. It is smaller than each of the 20 largest U.S. airports. Israeli culture is much more focused on security, with most citizens doing mandatory military service.

The airport handles 15 million passengers a year, compared with more than 100 million in Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world.

NEW YORK – The airport attack in Brussels highlights one of the most vulnerable stages of aviation security: the time travelers spend between the curb and the checkpoint.

As travelers wait first to check luggage and then go through metal detectors, they crowd together in areas that are usually lightly patrolled and accessible to nearly anyone.

“We ignore it,” says Isaac Yeffet, a former head of security for the Israeli airline El Al who now runs his own firm, Yeffet Security Consultants, based in the New York area. “We are careless.”

For more than 40 years, security officials and terrorists have been fighting to stay ahead of each other. When airlines and governments made it harder to hijack planes, terrorists found new ways to destroy aircraft. They put bombs in checked luggage until bag screening became standard. The 9/11 hijackers defeated 2001 passenger-screening measures and used knives to turn jets into weapons.

Security checkpoints are designed to keep terrorists and weapons off planes, and for the most part they have worked since the September 2001 attacks.

But along the way, the airport itself became a target.

In 1983, Armenian terrorists set off a bomb at the Turkish Airlines check-in counter at Paris’ Orly Airport, killing seven people and wounding 55. Just two years later, near simultaneous attacks hit the ticket counters of Israeli airline El Al in both Rome and Vienna, killing 18 people and wounding 120 others. El Al’s ticket counter in Los Angeles was targeted in 2002, an attack that killed two people and wounded four others.

And in Moscow, it was arriving passengers who were the target in a 2011 bombing near the baggage claim area; 36 people were killed and more than 180 injured.

On Tuesday, terrorists set off two bombs in the departure area of the Brussels airport and another in the subway, killing at least 31 people and wounding dozens. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility.

“Those areas really can’t be protected,” said Douglas R. Laird, former director of security at Northwest Airlines and now head of Laird & Associates, Inc. They are similar to subway stations, shopping malls or any other large public space. And if the airport is secured, “all that is going to happen is that they will go after the train, the bus or whatever.”

Laird said the focus needs to be more on counterterrorism intelligence.

“By the time they get to the airport, the game is over,” he said. “You can’t

Discouraging news comes out of AG’s office

Attorney General Lisa Madigan last week released her office’s annual Public Access Report.

Madigan reported the state’s Public Access Bureau received 4,770 requests in 2015 for help in gaining access to public information.

Of that number, 4,381 requests for review came from those who were denied records under the For the record Illinois Freedom of Information Act; 84 percent Denial appears to be the deof those requests came fault reaction by public bodies from the public, by the to many FOIA requests. way. And 389 requests for review raised issues under the Illinois Open Meetings Act, again with nearly 84 percent of those requests coming from the public.

Madigan stated her office resolved 3,385 of the 4,770 requests received in 2015, or about 71 percent. That left 29 percent unresolved as the year ended.

Madigan’s report is encouraging and discouraging.

We are encouraged the Public Access Bureau issued 15 binding opinions to enforce Freedom of Information and Open Meetings laws. We are encouraged the Public Access Bureau conducted 36 training sessions across the state to further acquaint public officials with the law. We are encouraged thousands of Illinoisans are reaching out to the Public Access Bureau to further press their cases to acquire public documents or ensure public bodies conduct their business in the open.

However, we are discouraged that in thousands of cases, governmental bodies deny requests for public documents that clearly are subject to public inspection and copying as provided by law.

What are these government officials thinking?

After all, each unit of government, by law, must designate at least one FOIA officer who is trained in the law and whose responsibility is to receive and process requests from the public and news media in a timely fashion.

FOIA officers are required to take the online electronic training provided by the Public Access Bureau.

In Illinois, the law speaks of the “presumption of openness.”

It’s understandable some records should not be public, and there are common-sense exemptions, such as personal information about governmental employees, security measures at public facilities, confidential computer software and so forth.

Still, denial appears to be the default reaction by public bodies to many FOIA requests, if the 4,381 requests for review of those denials is any indication.

As Madigan stated, “It is clear we still have work to do to ensure access to government at all levels.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Universities should ready for change

Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to give the state’s public universities grades and base part of their funding on how they perform.

That’s the basis behind Rauner’s latest proposal for spending in higher education.

He’s advocating a 20 percent cut in guaranteed state support for public university operations next year, but will add an additional $50 million in “performance-based funding.”

While that’s a worthy idea, universities need an immediate funding solution. Without a state budget, many are struggling. Chicago State University is in danger of closing, and Eastern Illinois University has laid off hundreds of faculty and staff until a budget is approved.

Illinois’ public universities need help now.

But the solution isn’t the $3.8 billion bill passed Thursday by Democrats in the Senate. The state simply doesn’t have any

money, so measures such as those approved Thursday are like writing bad checks.

Ultimately, the universities will have to accept spending reforms. Although each university in the state is different, many have spent taxpayer dollars with abandon and created multilayered bureaucracies that do little to educate students or help the state. Leadership at the universities has to understand thing are going to have to change.

Some of that could include performance-based funding, which is growing in popularity across the U.S. In these programs, universities compete on various criteria, such as the number of degrees they award, the cost per degree, the amount of money spent on research and public service and other measures designed to show how well universities are doing at serving the public and provid-

ing high-quality, affordable education.

These types of program are not without their own issues.

Nationally, such programs have caused some schools to admit fewer “borderline” students to improve their scores.

Performance-based funding is not new to Illinois, but Rauner is proposing to make it a larger part of higher education funding, up from about $6.2 million in past years.

What’s clear is the Illinois public university system is going to have to make several changes. The first step should be to stabilize funding for the universities in a meaningful way. However, that should be quickly followed by spending reforms, including performance-based funding, that will ensure the statewide university system is offering effective and efficient education.

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.

The (Bloomington) Pantagraph

VIEWS Cal Thomas cal next appointment to the court.

At the announcement ceremony in the Rose Garden, one could see a tableau of liberalism on display.

Does anyone believe those senators, who included uber-leftists Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy and Dianne Feinstein, would vote to confirm someone who might not reflect their liberal worldview, including the belief the Constitution is a “living document” to be tampered with according to the whims of the age? Would a liberal Democrat vote to confirm anyone who might impose restrictions on abortion or rollback same-sex marriage?

A Wall Street Journal editorial unmasked the liberal cover-up over Garland, even while other editorialists, columnists and broadcast news anchors extolled his supposed virtues: “Judge Garland’s 19-year tenure on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals demonstrates a reliable vote for progressive causes, with the arguable exception of criminal law.

Two issues in particular make the point: the Second Amendment and deference to the growing power of the administrative state.”

The president probably knows Garland’s nomination isn’t going anywhere and that, like so many other things in this administration, Garland will be used for political ends in the election. It is amusing to hear liberals claim Republicans are “obstructionists” after all the obstructing Democrats have done.

Democratic roadblocks extend back to Robert Bork’s confirmation hearings and include Sen. Obama’s opposition to Justice Samuel Alito for reasons even he admitted were solely political.

I suspect, not since John F. Kennedy named Byron R. White to the Supreme Court has there been a justice who disappointed Democrats. White was one of two justices who dissented in the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case. The Republican record has been far more checkered, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower’s naming of Earl Warren, a nomination he came to regret, calling it “the biggest d--n fool mistake” he ever made.

As William Harper points out in his highly readable and timely book,

“Second Thoughts: Presidential Regrets with their Supreme Court Nominations,” Republicans have fared far less well when picking jurists to the highest court. In addition to Earl Warren, there were William Brennan, Harry Blackmun, Warren Burger, Sandra Day O’Connor, David Souter and Anthony Kennedy – all named by Republican presidents, each one disappointing conservatives on numerous cases.

Perhaps Republicans will cave on the president’s nomination of Garland because they have done so before. Backbone is not a word normally associated with often-squishy Republicans, but so far they appear to be standing as one. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems unconcerned Republicans might lose their majority should voters punish them for refusing to confirm Garland. That’s something Democrats and their big media allies have alluded to during the campaign.

Meanwhile, only believe Merrick Garland is not a liberal if you believe President Obama and most Senate Democrats are moderates.

Brussels and the danger of a Trump presidency

By JENNIFER RUBIN The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – The horrible Islamic terrorist attacks in Brussels make clear that this president has failed to protect the West from the growing threat from the Islamic State, which under President Barack Obama has spread throughout the Middle East and strikes at Western cities with sickening regularity. The Washington Post reports: “The Islamic State asserted responsibility for the attacks, according to a statement posted on the Amaq Agency, a website believed to be close to the extremist group. The message said Belgium was targeted for its participation in the international coalition battling the Islamic State.

“If the Islamic State link is confirmed, it would mark other deadly strike less than a week after a suicide blast in Istanbul that killed five people, two them with dual American Israel citizenship.”

And yet the president, as recently as his Atlantic interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, insists we can walk away

from the Middle East. Obama has failed to learn the lessons of not only 9/11, but Paris, San Bernardino, Istanbul and now Belgium.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the day after speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference, told a scrum of reporters Tuesday morning “these attacks will continue until ISIS is defeated.” He castigated the president for “political correctness,” in refusing to recognize the nature of the threat we face and again called for measures such as halting entrance of Syrian refugees and reexamination of the visa waiver program. While his own plans to defeat the Islamic State include stepped up bombing and arming the Kurds, he now, as he has begun to do regularly, includes in his policy prescriptions the need to embed forces on the ground. He also asserted Obama should return from Cuba or go to Brussels, rather than continue to “grovel” at Castro’s feet.

He seized the opportunity to bash Donald Trump. “It is striking that the day after Donald Trump called for weakening NATO, withdrawing from NATO, we see Brussels, where NATO

is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamic terror attack,” he said.

“Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that America should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it hand ISIS a major victory.”

In a sit-down afterward that The Washington Post and a number of other journalists attended, Cruz picked up on his criticisms of Trump. He asserted that Trump’s worldview is similar to that of left-wing politicians from Jimmy Carter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry, to whom Trump has given money. Trump, he argued, in calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush, echoes the rhetoric of the “fever swamps” of the left. Asked if Trump is intent on rewriting Republicans’ foreign policy, Cruz said dismissively, “I don’t think he has enough knowledge to be rewriting [conservative foreign policy].” And in some of his harshest criticism of Trump, Cruz said that while Trump sounds angry and tough, on substance he is “weak” and he “believes in isolationism.” He further

mocked Trump for claiming at AIPAC that he had studied the Iran deal more than anyone else. The reaction, he recalled, was “unrestrained laughter.”

While the tragedy in Brussels is one more reminder for the country at large of the dangers of Islamic terrorism and the Obama-Kerry-Clinton foreign policy failure, it is also Cruz’s chance, maybe the best one yet, to point out that Trump would be worse as commander in chief than Obama, who has, Cruz noted, not gone as far as Trump in suggesting we bug out of NATO. Cruz is on firm ground both in arguing that Trump is entirely clueless on the specifics of foreign policy and in emphasizing that rather than “Make America great,” Trump’s policies would double down on the Obama approach of retreat and retrenchment, making the United States and our allies that much more vulnerable.

Will GOP voters perk up? If they don’t, Hillary Clinton will be able to run to the right of Trump in the general election as the tougher, savvier candidate to become commander in chief. The large majority of voters is likely to agree.

Whenever I hear the words “centrist” or “moderate,” especially when they come from The New York Times and The Washington Post, the words “liberal” and “cover-up” immediately come to mind.

Since President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, a confirmed conservative, the words “centrist” and “moderate” have been repeated ad nauseam. They were repeated so often, in fact, they resembled the sound of a skipping needle across a vinyl LP with dust in its grooves.

Even the reliably liberal New York Times, while repeating the centrist and moderate line, acknowledged Garland’s addition to the court “would make the justice at the center of the court more liberal than at any point in nearly 50 years.”

This is why Republicans are within their constitutional rights to refuse to grant Garland a hearing or a vote, especially since, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, “two-out-of-three likely U.S. voters (67 percent) are angry at the current policies of the federal government.”

Senate Republicans rightly believe a new president should make the criti-

Employers fight rule that could broaden transgender rights

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Big companies are pushing back against proposed federal rules they say would require their medical plans to cover gender transition and other services under the nondiscrimination mandate of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Civil-rights advocates representing transgender people say the regulation, now being finalized by the Health and Human Services Department, would be a major step forward for a marginalized community beginning to gain acceptance as celebrities such as Caitlyn Jenner tell their stories.

The issue mixes rapidly changing social mores and subtle interpretations of complex federal laws, including the Affordable Care Act. Obama has been recognized as the first president openly supportive of transgender rights.

The latest dispute over the health care law may have to be resolved by the courts. The law’s nondiscrimination section applies federal civil-rights protections to programs under the health overhaul. The legal text refers to entities “receiving federal financial assistance,” interpreted to include insurers, state Medicaid agencies, hospitals and other service providers. It doesn’t mention major private employers that run their own health plans.

A group representing big employers said its members don’t have particular qualms about gender transition. But large employers do object to what they see as an overreach by the Obama administration, since their health plans don’t get federal financial assistance.

There’s nothing in the health law “that says ‘large employers, you are subject to this’,” said Gretchen Young, health policy vice president for the ERISA Industry Committee. “People are getting concerned there will be a whole body of things that will come up in the future.” Another concern: that a bar against discrimination on account of nationality could mean having to provide translation in up to 15 languages.

ERISA is a 1970s federal law that governs big-employer benefit plans. Employers design their own plans and set aside money to cover the expected medical costs of their workforces. They usually hire an insurance company as a “third-party administrator” to handle claims and run the day-to-day operations.

That’s where the connection to the

Jocelyn Samuels speaks in Seattle in February. Samuels, head of the Health and Human Service Department’s civil-rights office, said in a statement the agency is reviewing feedback on proposed federal rules that would require employers’ medical plans to cover gender transition under the nondiscrimination section of President Barack Obama’s health care law. health law’s nondiscrimination rule comes in.

Insurance companies that sponsor plans sold under the Obama law, or available through Medicare Advantage, do receive federal payments, what the law terms “financial assistance.”

In a formal explanation, HHS said the regulation would apply to such an insurer “for all of its health plans, as well as when it acts as a third-party administrator for an employer-sponsored group health plan.”

The insurance industry doesn’t relish the role of middleman enforcer.

It would be an added burden for insurers who participate in federal programs, said Clare Krusing, spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans. A large employer might be reluctant to hire such insurers as administrators if that undermines control of their health plans – and raises costs.

“It creates an uneven playing field” for insurers, Krusing said.

An increasing number of large employers are voluntarily covering transgender treatment, following medical recognition that it can lead to healthier outcomes overall for the individuals involved. The number was up to 418 last year, from none in 2002, according to HHS. Medicare began covering medically necessary sex-re-

assignment surgery in 2014. Traditionally its medical necessity was questioned, and it carried a social stigma.

Costs are hard to assess because relatively few individuals pursue gender transition and the degree of medical intervention can differ dramatically in each case. Individual costs can range to tens of thousands of dollars.

Dru Levasseur, director of the Transgender Rights Project for the civil-rights group Lambda Legal, said the proposed regulation would be “a sea change for the insurance industry.” But if Medicare and plans sold under the health law cover gender transition treatments, so should large employers, he said.

“These exclusions are not in line with the medical community’s understanding, and it’s time for them to be removed,” Levasseur said.

With the Obama administration in its last year, officials are under pressure to finalize the health law’s nondiscrimination rule. The legislation itself is six years old.

Jocelyn Samuels, head of the HHS civil-rights office, said in a statement that the agency is reviewing feedback on its proposal. “This is another example of this administration’s commitment to giving every American access to the health care they deserve,” she said.

Life Spine sales on the rise

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – A midsized medical device maker in Huntley recently announced a 45 percent increase in sales over the past six months, creating momentum for future growth as it prepares to launch new products.

Employing 50 people from a 58,400-square-foot facility near the Route 47-Interstate 90 interchange, Life Spine reorganized its sales team and focused on exclusive distributorships to help boost sales, Joe Loy, executive vice president of sales, said in a statement.

Life Spine designs, manufacturers and markets health care products used by surgeons to treat spinal disorders.

“It is truly an exciting time to be a part of this company as it continues to revolutionize the industry,” Loy said. “Our market share continues to grow, as well as our commitment to the spine surgical

Life Spine is set to release other new products later this year, setting the stage for additional sales growth, he said.

Since relocating from Hoffman Estates to Huntley in fall 2014, Life Spine representatives have voiced a desire to grow the business.

The company more than quadrupled its space upon moving to the Huntley Corporate Park at 13951 S. Quality Drive, providing additional room for administrative and manufacturing operations.

CEO Michael Butler told the Northwest Herald at the time that the new

headquarters in Huntley could accommodate as many as 200 employees. Butler estimated Life Spine’s sales totaled about $28 million in 2013.

He also said the expanded I-90 interchange that opened Huntley to interstate access from both Chicago and Rockford also motivated Life Spine to relocate to the village.

Earlier this month, the medical device maker announced it would release “Prolift,” a titanium system that restores disc height in the spines of patients, later this year after gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Thousands of taxi drivers caused traffic chaos in the Indonesian capital Tuesday in a violent protest against what they say is unfair competition from ride-hailing apps such as Uber.

TV footage showed long lines of taxis and three-wheel minicabs blocking a central expressway, men setting tires alight and jumping on vehicles that refused to join in the protest. Green-jacketed drivers for Go-Jek, an app used to hail motorcycle taxis, retaliated by hurling rocks and other objects. An Associated Press reporter saw drivers surround one taxi, forcing its terrified female passenger on to the road with her luggage.

It was the second major protest by taxi drivers in Jakarta this month and was large enough to halt the motorcades of Indonesia’s president and vice president.

Drivers say competition from ride-hailing apps, which don’t face the same costs and rules as regular taxis, has severely reduced their income. Many come to Jakarta from other parts of Indonesia and support their families as taxi drivers.

Driver Jeffrey Sumampouw said his earnings have slumped more than 60 percent since Uber and other apps starting getting popular in Jakarta about a year ago.

“The government must defend us from illegal drivers who have stolen our in-

Smartphone-based apps such as Uber have turned the public transport industry on its head worldwide. In the U.S. and Europe, the apps have been acclaimed by urban customers tired of struggling to find cabs, while taxi companies accuse the mavericks of running unlicensed services.

Uber has been making a big push

into Asia, intensifying competition in a region where there already was a slew of ride-hailing apps such as Malaysia’s Grab, which operates in several Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia.

On Monday, Grab said it had formed a strategic partnership with Lippo, which is one of Indonesia’s largest conglomerates, and claimed its “GrabCar” business in Indonesia grew 30 percent last month.

Hulk Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea (center), looks on in court moments after a jury returned its decision Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla. A jury has hit Gawker Media with $15 million in punitive damages and its owner with $10 million, adding to the $115 million it awarded last week for publishing a sex video of Hogan.

Hulk Hogan sex-video verdict could have limited impact ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Hulk Hogan’s $140 million courtroom victory against Gawker for posting a sex tape of the former pro wrestler was many things, including a lurid inside look at the business of celebrity gossip and a dispute over what constitutes newsworthiness.

But legal experts generally agree on what it wasn’t: a serious threat to the First Amendment.

At this point, it is only a jury verdict, and an appeals court could reduce it or throw it out altogether. Even if it is upheld, its effects could be narrow, because in running the video, the sex-and-gossip site did something most media organizations wouldn’t even consider doing, legal experts said.

Or as University of Miami law professor Mary Anne Franks put it: “It’s hard to imagine that any credible media outlet is truly confused about the difference between a sex tape and the Pentagon Papers.”

Hogan sued Gawker for invasion of privacy after it published a video of him having sex with his best friend’s wife. Hogan said he didn’t know he was being taped. Gawker argued that the footage was newsworthy information about a public figure and thus protected by the First Amendment.

The jury disagreed, awarding the 62-year-old Hogan $115 million in compensatory damages last week and $25 million in punitive damages on Monday.

Gawker’s founder, Nick Denton, said he will appeal and expressed confidence the verdict will be reversed. He will still have to post a bond of perhaps tens of millions of dollars while he fights the verdict.

There were no injuries.

Guests received tickets for a different show after Monday’s last show was canceled.

Wahler said the cause of the fire was electrical.

MILAN – Giorgio Armani has agreed to stop using fur for all its products, following years of lobbying by animal rights activists.

Armani said in a statement Tuesday that new technologies “render the use of cruel practices unnecessary as regards animals.”

The Armani group will be fur-free from the autumn/winter 2016 collection.

Fur Free Alliance chairman Joh Vinding said the announcement “makes it clear that designers and consumers can have creative freedom and luxury all without supporting animal cruelty.”

Humane Society International called Armani’s pledge “probably the most powerful message yet that killing animals for their fur is never fashionable,” adding that designers who continue to use fur “are looking increasingly isolated.”

Armani joins Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren in switching to synthetic alternatives.

NEW YORK – The London premiere of “Batman v Superman” was scaled back Tuesday after the terrorist attacks in Brussels.

Warner Bros. said in a statement that “our hearts go out to the victims” and others affected by the deadly explosions at the Belgium city’s main airport and subway. But the studio said it would go forward with the Tuesday night premiere “rather than yield to terror.”

However, interviews on the red carpet were canceled.

The Leicester Square premiere of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” follows events in New York and Mexico City.

HONG KONG – Gold-plated metal cubes, tapestries embroidered by unknown North Korean artisans and bales of cardboard waste are among the highlights of the Art Basel Hong Kong fair kicking off this week.

The latest edition of the global art fair threw open its doors to media and VIP collectors Tuesday in the southern Chinese city, which has become Asia’s main art trading hub.

Some 239 galleries from 35 countries and territories are exhibiting works at the show, which opens to the public for three days starting Thursday.

Organizers shrugged off concerns about whether China’s slowdown and a shaky world economy are dampening global art demand.

“Maybe I think collectors will ask a lot more questions before they agree to a sale, but I think generally speaking it just feels like everyone is very excited about the art world,” said Adeline Ooi, Art Basel’s Asia director. The show is an offshoot of the annual contemporary art fair in Basel, Switzerland. It’s expected to draw tens of thousands.

Chinese artist Zhang Ding attracted curious visitors with his “18 Cubes” installation, which consists of 18 large

Ham settled on chandeliers as a reference to political power after she noticed one in a picture of world leaders meeting to divide the Korean Peninsula into north and south at the end of World War II. She said she sends materials and digital images of her designs to the unidentified North Korean artisans through secretive middlemen who travel through China. It can take up to a year before she gets one back.

Ham said she was inspired after she found a North Korea propaganda flier in front of her parents’ home in 2008.

“I wanted to send back these kinds of fliers in a very artistic way,” she said.

Indonesian artist Tintin Wulia’s collection of cardboard bales is the result of her yearlong investigation into a recycling micro-economy involving scrap collectors and Filipino migrant domestic workers who spend their days off in the heart of Hong Kong’s financial district.

She said the project examines how the material links seemingly unrelated groups in Hong Kong society and also symbolizes the city’s widening wealth gap.

Beyond the scale

Studies: Fitness, body composition key for health

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The bathroom scale may show a good number, but how much of that weight is fat, not muscle? New studies are adding to the evidence the scale doesn’t always tell the whole story when it comes to weight-related health risks.

Keeping body fat low is more important for healthy aging than a low overall weight, researchers reported Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. A separate study found young people who aren’t physically fit are at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life even if their weight is healthy.

Here are some things to know:

Isn’t BMI important?

Yes. Body mass index, or BMI, is a measure of a person’s weight compared to their height. For many people, that’s plenty of evidence to tell if they’re overweight or obese and thus at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Generally, a BMI of 25 and above indicates overweight, while 30 and above indicates obesity. Someone who is 5 feet, 9 inches would hit that obesity threshold at 203 pounds.

A waist is measured during an obesity prevention study at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

received medical exams for mandatory military service, and tracked how many developed diabetes many years later.

Low muscle strength and low aerobic fitness each were associated with an increased diabetes risk – regardless of whether the men were normal weight or overweight. Scoring low on both added to the risk.

What do the findings mean?

For diabetes, “normal-weight persons may not receive appropriate lifestyle counseling if they are sedentary or unfit because of their lower perceived risk,” wrote obesity specialist Peter Katzmarzyk of Louisiana’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, who wasn’t involved in the study.

That study also suggests fitness in adolescence can have long-lasting impact.

And Leslie said doctors should consider patients’ body composition, not just weight, in assessing their health.

How to tell

Most people won’t benefit from a DXA scan for fat, stressed Dympna Gallagher, who directs the human body composition laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center and thinks those tests are more for research than real life.

Other methods for determining body composition range from measuring skinfold thickness to “bioimpedance” scales that use a tiny electrical current, but all have varying degrees of error, Gallagher said. Plus, normal body fat varies with age, and there’s no agreement on the best cutoffs for health, she said.

Her recommendation: Check your waistline, even if your BMI is normal. Abdominal fat, an apple-shaped figure, is riskier than fat that settles on the hips. The government says men are at increased risk of health problems if their waist circumference is larger than 40 inches, and 35 inches for women.

“Your Dog’s Home Away From Home”

10,000-step mark – as my Fitbit “told” me. If Zoe and I missed one walk, I missed my goal – and that left me unhappy. Worse, since my Fitbit couldn’t count pool laps, it proved useless in tracking the exercise I did on half the days of the week.

Like others who came up short of the daily goal, I started to do crazy things. I’d take Zoe (who, for the record, is 13 years old) for yet another tour of the ’hood. For the first time in her life, she didn’t seem at all excited when I uttered the words “Wanna go for a walk?” Instead of bounding for the door, she’d dig further under her blanket.

Sometimes just before bed, I’d walk around the house just to hit my 10,000 steps. Others tell me how they march in place, swinging their arms, to make their goal. No, I was not happy. Fitbit and I definitely had hit a rough patch in our relationship.

Perhaps you know where this is going. Was the Fitbit good for my heart? Yes. Fun? Less and less so. Sustainable? I didn’t think so. Just before Christmas, I started a trial separation.

tracker has helped him lose more than 20 pounds, eat healthier and sleep better.

“I’ve gone from borderline diabetic to a safe zone,” he said, and he’s now a regular exerciser. That’s fantastic, and I hope he continues. But others told a different story. Another friend, a woman in her 40s, explained: “I realized that there were a couple weeks where I took it off because it was making me feel bad when I was ‘failing,’ so why do that to myself?”

My negativity corresponded with the findings of the Duke study. When I asked Etkin, the study’s author, how she’d come to examine the role of fitness trackers, she explained after giving her father a Fitbit, “he became much more stressed about how much he walked, focused on those quantitative outcomes, when previously he’d just walked for fun.” The problem, she said. is this: “Even though tracking output can encourage us to do more, it also sucks the fun out of activities we previously enjoyed, which makes us enjoy them less and be less likely to keep doing them in the future.”

That had proved true for my terrier, and finally for me. So I gave it up, which is to say my Fitbit and I broke up.

By Diane Krieger Spivak If you haven’t heard of FitBit by now, it’s a flat, flexible, plastic wristband about as wide as a watchband that can aid the wearer to live a healthier life by digitally tracking activity, measuring level of daily exercise, diet and sleep.

If you wake up as tired as you were when you went to bed, the device can help you find out if the cause is inadequate sleep. FitBit syncs wirelessly with your smartphone or computer to tell you how long you slept the night before, as well as the quality of your sleep - whether it was restful or fitful.

Fitbit’s tracker settings can record your sleep in either “sensitive” mode for extremely detailed sleep reporting, or “normal” mode for a more basic idea of your sleep patterns, according to FitBit, Inc. The normal setting counts your larger sleep movements, like rolling over, as you being awake.

The sensitive setting counts nearly all movements as being awake.

The sensitive setting can help people with sleep disorders or those who wear the tracker somewhere other than their wrist when they sleep.

A recording that shows little movement indicates that you’ve had restful sleep, which is necessary for health.

An indication that you moved considerably during the night means you were not getting quality, restful sleep.

FitBit wearers can use the data from their sleep recording to help them achieve a goal of a good night’s sleep, which is around seven or eight hours, although some people need more or less. Setting a regular bedtime schedule can help. Experts suggest winding down from the day’s activities for 60 to 90 minutes before bedtime, and sleeping without the distraction of lights or television, or other noise sources.

“Fitbits could ruin your workout,” warned London’s Daily Telegraph and at least a dozen other newspapers – just in time to derail my New Year’s resolutions. Turns out a new study concluded Fitbits, Jawbones and other fitness trackers might not be all they’re cracked up to be.

“Measuring all that physical activity is a pernicious double-edged sword,” according to the study’s author, Jordan Etkin, a professor of marketing at Duke University, whose research will be published in the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research. “Enjoyable activities, like exercise, can become almost like a job, by focusing on the outcomes of things that used to be fun.”

In other words, tracking all those steps, floors and calories can make working out, even walking, feel like a drag. Sure, now you tell me.

About a year or so ago, many of my health-conscious friends started sporting activity trackers on their wrists.

Suddenly any conversations among these “sporterati” quickly turned to their target number of 10,000 steps, which Fitbit has preset as a one-size-

fits-all goal.

I didn’t buy in to the tracker craze at first, for several reasons. The first was personal: “My name is Steven and I’m an iPhone addict” – which is to say I’ve been trying to unplug, not find a new way to plug in. Second, as much of a “modern” as I’d like to be, I’m no early adopter when it comes to tablets, smart watches or health trackers. Oh, and one more thing: I didn’t like any of the Fitbit’s color choices.

But I’m not immune to a good deal, so last summer when I saw an ad offering 20 percent off, I was wavering. And the tipping point: The Fitbit now came in slate blue, a color I like. I placed my one-click order.

Off I went in pursuit of my 10,000 steps, a metric the American Heart Associate agrees is a good daily goal for health and cardiac fitness. And pretty soon I was an addict-in-the-making.

In spin class, I tied my Fitbit through my shoelaces to make sure every spin or step counted. Zoe, my Jack Russell terrier, never had so many walks in her life. She seemed as excited by my new toy as I was.

My Fitbit honeymoon came to a crashing end after about eight weeks, when it became clear my regular dog walks were barely getting me to the

Generic drugs work as well as their brand-name counterparts Dear Dr. K: My doctor switched me from several brand-name drugs to generic versions of those drugs. It has saved me a lot of money – but are they really as good for me?

Dear Reader: The vast majority of generic drugs have been shown to be equally effective as brand-name drugs, and no more likely to cause side effects. There have been a few exceptions, which I’ll mention. But that is my bottom line – and I vote with my feet: I take generic drugs. They work as well as the brand-name drugs they replaced, they haven’t caused side effects and they save me money. What’s not to like?

Drugs available in the United States are carefully examined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA makes sure a generic drug has the same chemical structure as a brand-name drug, and the generic drug behaves the same way in the body.

Still, once the FDA has released a generic drug for widespread use, a much larger number of people take it than was true when it was being tested in the pre-approval period.

That means rare problems may emerge in the post-approval period.

There have been many careful studies comparing generic drugs to their brandname equivalents in the post-approval period. Almost always, the generics prove identical. However, there have been a few instances where the generic drug was not equivalent – at least until a problem in the manufacturing process was corrected. Examples include some generic drugs to treat underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

In late 2015, an expert committee of the American College of Physicians summarized what is known scientifically about generic drugs. The committee’s report agrees with

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff what I have said. The report also summarizes evidence generic drugs often are not used when they could be. One study published in 2013 found the brand-name versions of several popular drugs were used 23 percent to 45 percent of the time when generic versions were available.

The report also pointed out a problem with taking brand-name drugs instead of generic versions: a person might get fewer health benefits. Why is that? Any medicine will work only if it is taken. And many studies have found people are less likely to take brand-name drugs when they are prescribed than they are to take generic drugs when they are prescribed.

That’s probably because the brand-name drugs cost more.

While I believe the evidence shows almost all generic drugs perform as well as brandname drugs, that evidence is based on the “average” person in studies typically involving hundreds or thousands of people.

Now and then I have a patient who swears a generic drug is not as effective as the brand-name drug. It is possible the patient’s body chemistry is different in some way from that of the average person. So I prescribe the brand-name drug – but the insurance company determines how much more the patient will have to pay.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

P H R Y G I A

has been doing is inappropriate. That she has done it among her friends is one thing, but for her to disrobe to show your friends her nipple piercings is wrong. She might do this because she wants to prove to them (or herself) she’s still young and “with-it.” If that’s the case, it’s pathetic.

If you haven’t told her when she flashes your friends it’s embarrassing and you want her to stop, you should. If she realizes she’s making herself a laughingstock, she might stop. However, if she doesn’t, then you and your sister will have to accept you can’t change her, and realize what she’s doing is no reflection on the two of you.

Dear Abby: I am a “catfisher.” I use a fake Facebook account with pictures of an attractive woman to attract men. I specifically target married or committed men. I talk to and flirt with them online to see how far they’ll go.

They often ask me for more pictures and invite me to meet somewhere for sex. I never give real information or meet any of them.

Should I let the women these men are involved with know their men are unfaithful or keep it to myself? – Karma In Georgia Dear Karma: How can you be concerned for the wives and girlfriends when you are the person providing the temptation? I think you would be better served if you worked on your own problem before you try to resolve the issues of people you have never met and never will.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My sister and I have no interest Jeanne in body piercing Phillips (except our ears), but we have seen it on friends and are not impressed. However, our 44-year-old mom got her nipples pierced and has started wearing jewelry there.

Our parents are divorced and she’s not in a relationship right now, so it’s not to impress a man. She says she did it to feel good about herself, which makes no sense to us. She takes off her top to show her female friends when they come over, and we can see them literally roll their eyes, but she doesn’t seem to notice.

She now has started showing off her piercings to our friends. I’m talking about girlfriends, but even so, we find this beyond embarrassing. They’re polite to her face but laugh behind her back, and word about it has spread, which we find humiliating. I suppose we should be thankful at least she hasn’t pierced her most personal place to show off to our friends like we’ve seen some girls do.

We think some kind of midlife crisis or hormonal imbalance is causing her to act this way, but we wish she’d find a better outlet.

If she wants to make a fool of herself in front of her friends, that’s one thing. But we don’t think she has the right to embarrass us in front of our friends. What can we do? – Embar-

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

KNEE JOINT WITH ARTHIRITIS

What to watch Knicks at Bulls, 6 p.m., CSN, ESPN The Bulls will look to complete a sweep of their four-game homestand against the Knicks in Wednesday night’s opener of a home-and-home series.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Neither goal was the prettiest, but Crystal Lake South’s Jess Schoenfeldt did enough to disrupt the Prairie Ridge defense.

Schoenfeldt was in the vicinity of both of the Gators’ goals on Tuesday, helping force an own goal in the first half and scoring the second late in the match.

“I think it was more just me moving off the ball, looking for that open spot just to slot myself in to try to find that position to get in and put the ball in the back of the net obviously,” Schoenfeldt said.

Crystal Lake South beat the Wolves, 2-0, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover game at Prairie Ridge.

“She does everything,” Crystal Lake South coach Jay Mueller said.

“She defends well, she’s very aggressive, she’s smart, she knows where to go, she can get in on the attack, she can finish, she passes.

“There’s not really much that you can’t ask her to do on the field. In a game like this too, she brings a little extra. This is always an important game when they’re playing against their friends. It’s always good for them to get a win in a game like that because it’s just a little bit extra excitement for them.”

Seven minutes into the contest, Crystal Lake South’s Katherine Siavelis swung a corner kick into the box toward the near post. Schoenfeldt ran

After trailing 1-0 at halftime, Prairie Ridge (1-1) came out stronger in the second half, controlling the ball and creating more chances.

“I thought we played better,” Prairie Ridge coach Andre Watson said.

“In the second half, we definitely got a little tighter on the marking. I think for them their midfield is their engine, so we tightened it up, got our three midfielders tighter on their

Despite the Wolves’ improved play, it was the Gators (3-1) who got the next goal when Schoenfeldt made it 2-0 in the 61st minute.

The junior curled a soft shot to the far post, which Prairie Ridge goalkeeper Taylor Golt let go because it looked like it was going wide. The bouncing ball hit the post and back spun across the goal line, doubling the visitors’ lead.

Golt, who came on at halftime for starter Savannah Schuler-Winoker, made two saves for Prairie

Ridge. Crystal Lake South’s Annika Sevcik finished with four saves.

“We did possess pretty well in the first half, but we were not switching the ball very well and then in the second half we were started to try to do that a little bit more, but we’re losing a lot of the possession,” Mueller said. “They really had the better of the second half of play for beating us to all the balls, possessing the ball better.

“We got a little bit lucky today, we got two of the softest goals I think I’ve ever seen in a game. But sometimes a little bit of luck goes a long way.”

Huntley’s Ali Andrews was caught off guard when she was announced as the only unanimous selection to the Associated Press Class 4A All-State first team on March 3.

On Tuesday, McHenry County’s all-time leading scorer in basketball history finished tied for third in the voting for Ms. Basketball, compiled by the Chicago Tribune. Benet’s Kathleen Doyle won the honor, New Trier’s Jeannie Boehm was second and Andrews, a 6-foot-2 forward and Illinois commit, tied for third with Whitney Young’s Kiara Lewis for Ms. Basketball of Illinois 2016, an award presented by the Chicago Tribune in conjunction with the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association and voted on by media members and schools.

Andrews finished fifth for the award last year, which went to 2015 Fremd graduate Haley Gorecki, a former Midwest Elite AAU travel teammate of Andrews who now plays at Duke.

Earlier this year, Andrews broke the county scoring record (girls or boys), held previously by Johnsburg’s Melissa Dixon. Andrews finished her four-year varsity career with 2,548 points, 1,008 rebounds, 300 blocks and a school-record 111 wins.

She scored 743 points as a senior, breaking her then-record 694 points as a junior, averaging 21.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.2 blocks and 2.4 steals a game.

Led by Andrews, Huntley won four straight regional titles and three sectional titles. In 2013 (when Andrews was a freshman), the Red Raiders won their first supersectional and placed fourth at the Class 4A state tournament.

Only Langguth had prior varsity experience. Although the Warriors allowed 13 hits Monday, McHenry coach John DiFrancesca saw positives in the first game, with Langguth holding Crystal Lake Central in the seventh and Rauhut striking out a pair and blanking the Tigers in two innings.

“I think we’re going to have to work on pitch location and movement, as far as possibly too much over the plate,” DiFrancesca said. “It was fun to watch them today, and to see their dynamic on the mound. I think as the season goes on, they’ll get more comfortable.”

er contribute to an early 8-0 lead.

The Rockets (2-3) cut the deficit by a run in the bottom of the second after Paige Rauhut’s wild pitch scored Ashley Turner. It would, however, turn out to be the only run the Rockets would score off four different Warriors pitchers (Rauhut, Ashley Dehmlow, Lindsey Ciesla and Taylor Languth).

The group, which consists of a girl from each grade level, combined to allow just one run on five hits and a walk.

Rauhut said that the team’s pitching depth will be key moving forward as it helps keep opposing teams off-balance.

“I like [using four different pitchers],” the senior said. “It switches everything up, so everyone has a chance. It changes up the batter, so they don’t know what’s

coming, because we all have something different to offer.”

A two-run double by Schmitz and a two-run home run by Amanda Manssen extended the Warriors’ lead to 12-1 in the third, while a Schmitz sacrifice fly would make it 13-1 in the fifth.

Offensively for the Rockets, Alexa Rodriguez went 2 for 3 with two singles, while Kaitie Regnier finished 2 for 2 with a single and double. “[McHenry’s] bats got to us,” Rockets coach Stephanie Hutchinson said. “We needed to hit our spots (in the circle) today and we weren’t. Our bats took a while to wake up and we can’t do that against a team like McHenry. We can’t wait until the fourth, fifth innings to start playing.”

RICHMOND – Despite losing its season opener to Crystal Lake Central on Monday, the McHenry girls softball team saw a lot of promise in its offense after putting up seven late runs against the Tigers.

“It was very important,” Warriors outfielder Taelor Schmitz said. “It helped us carry the rally throughout the game.”

Using that offensive outburst as momentum, the Warriors’ success at the plate carried over into Tuesday’s meeting with Richmond-Burton. The visitors scored eight runs in the second inning, eventually running away with a five-inning, 13-1 nonconference victory over the Rockets.

“Every facet of our game clicked,” Warriors coach John DiFrancesca said.

6 BASEBALL: PROSPECT 6, CARY-GROVE 3

Trojans fail to capitalize on errors in loss

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – The pick-me-up that rejuvenated Cary-Grove in the sixth inning came through nothing outstanding the Trojans did at the plate.

They simply put the ball in play and Prospect looked the part of a baseball team playing its season opener, taking turns making three errors around the infield.

Instead of being back in the field, trailing by three runs, C-G was two runs down and had No. 9 hitter Quinn Celske up with the bases loaded.

Celske, a left-handed hitter, ripped a line drive toward the left-field line that third baseman Grant Zellmer snagged and then dived to tag out Trojans’ runner Nick Kirk.

The Knights finished off C-G with an uneventful seventh for a 6-3 victory in their nonconference game Tuesday. “[It] just led [Zellmer] right to the base,” Celske said. “You just have to tip your cap and go play the next inning. We’re struggling right now of-

C-G (2-2) managed only three hits for the game and scored only once in the sixth, even with the three Knights’

errors. Ben Dolezal drew a bases-loaded walk to bring in that run.

“They make three errors and we have to capitalize on it, and we didn’t,” Trojans coach Don Sutherland said.

“The kid [Zellmer] made a fantastic play, Nick’s baserunning wasn’t all that bad, he froze.”

Prospect’s Ben Courtney (1-0) picked up the win with 32/3 innings of relief. C-G starter Matt McCumber allowed one earned run in four innings before being lifted so Dolezal could get some work.

Dolezal walked the first two batters he faced and allowed a double, but almost escaped further damage. Third baseman Mark Smith charged a ball and threw on the run to try and end the inning with one run, but his throw narrowly pulled first baseman Dallas McDonough off the base.

“You just can’t have all those things happen and get yourself down three runs,” Sutherland said. “It’s a cruel game in that respect. We made tons and tons of mistakes. A lot of them were aggressive mistakes, not

anticipating the ball to you. It’s just a lack of [varsity] experience. We just have to get over [the mistakes] to be good.”

McCumber, a junior right-hander, struck out two and allowed three hits in four innings, leaving with a 2-1 lead. He also was 1 for 2 at the plate.

“All three of my pitches were working, I kept them off-balance the best I could,” McCumber said. “We just didn’t capitalize on their errors and didn’t take the ball the other way well enough. We always keep working on the outside pitch and we took too many of those. We just didn’t execute.”

Prospect coach Ross Giusti was excited about his team’s opening performance, particularly with lefty starter Pasquale Atteo and Courtney.

“We couldn’t be happier,” Giusti said. “In these early games you’re going to make some mistakes. It’s a matter of getting your feet wet and going through situational baseball and getting back in the routine of playing games. We made some fundamental mistakes that we made up for.”

BASEBALL: RICHMOND-BURTON 9, WOODSTOCK NORTH 1

Rockets top Thunder behind 13 strikeouts, big hits

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – After Richmond-Burton ace Jake Rosing struck out the first batter on Tuesday, the Rockets fired the ball around the infield, from the catcher to the third baseman and then – whoops – directly into the outfield.

The right fielder jogged over, picked up the over-thrown ball and tossed it back in to Rosing. It wasn’t the flashiest way to finish off a strikeout, but the Rockets had plenty of opportunities to get it right.

Three Rockets pitchers struck out 13 Woodstock North hitters and limited the Thunder to four hits in a 9-1 non-conference victory.

Rosing, the right-handed starter, struck out nine batters, surrendered just two hits and one unearned run over four strong innings. The sophomore threw 40 of his 65 pitches for strikes and walked two batters.

“Jake was in control of the game from the first pitch,” Richmond-Burton coach Mike Giese said.

Woostock North used seven different pitchers in six innings. Coach John Oslovich said he wants to use the early games to build his staff for the future.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Woodstock North center fielder Jacob Goldberg threw out a runner at the plate to end the fourth inning.

Dittmar entered in relief and struck out the side. Pitching the sixth and seventh innings, Griffin Lacher struck out one and allowed just two hits.

“We haven’t seen that kind of velocity yet,” Woodstock North coach John Oslovich said. “We’re still kind of getting used to all that. Their first two pitchers had some good off-speed pitches that they could throw for strikes.

“We haven’t seen that kind of velocity yet. We’re still kind of getting used to all that. Their first two pitchers had some good off-speed pitches that they could throw for strikes. That hadn’t been something we’d seen either. This is probably the best team we’ve faced yet.”

Woodstock North coach

That hadn’t been something we’d seen either. This is probably the best team we’ve faced yet.”

Richmond Burton (2-1) will lean on the shoulders of two Division I pitchers this season. Rosing, a sophomore, is committed to Louisville and Dittmar will play at Wichita State next season.

“In the offseason we both put in a lot of work to get more consistent and throw more strikes,” said Dittmar, who was 2 for 4 at the plate. “I think that’s going to benefit us this year.”

After getting just one hit against Woodstock on Wednesday, the Rockets bats also came alive with nine hits.

Leadoff hitter Jake Kaufman went 3

for 4 with a triple and two RBIs. Trevor Anderson and Bryan Rupnik each doubled.

“We’ve been struggling at the plate,” Giese said. “Today was important. We just wanted to go up there and get some good swings. I thought we swung the bat pretty well today.”

For Woodstock North (1-2), Jacob Goldberg recorded both hits off of Rosing. Brandon Amann doubled and Jesse Cordoba legged out an infield single.

“We’ve shown a lot of improvement from last year,” Oslovich said. “I’m pretty happy with the way that they work. We’re getting better every day and that’s all that I can ask.”

The Eagles got a run back on a twoout, RBI hit by Cameron Wilson that was popped up high in the air and dropped five feet in front of home plate, before Oak Forest (1-1) broke things open with four runs on four hits in the sixth – and two more Jacobs errors.

Jacobs committed one more error in the seventh, leading to the final two runs for Oak Forest.

Salomon, Wilson, Stevie Krueger, Casey Dennison, Adam Kale and Loen Nelson each collected a hit for Jacobs. Both teams finished with six hits apiece.

After the game, Salomon – who drove in Jacobs’ first run of the game – sounded a lot like his coach, fully confident his team will fix the mistakes going forward.

“We’ve just got to flush this and go onto the next one,” Salomon said. “Honestly, we know we’re good, and we have that mindset that we can compete with everyone. After this, we’re going to have a great practice tomorrow. We’ll bounce back from it.”

BASEBALL: DeKALB 5, HUNTLEY 1

Red Raiders strand 11 in loss to DeKalb

By JOHN BUTKUS

sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – The Huntley baseball team was keeping DeKalb’s pitchers in sticky situations all afternoon Tuesday.

Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, the Barbs kept escaping innings with little harm in a 5-1 loss Tuesday.

DeKalb starting pitcher Jacob Perkins limited Huntley (2-2) to only one run, but the story might have changed had he not escaped a few innings with runners on base. Huntley left 11 runners on base courtesy of nine total walks – five by Perkins.

“Offensively, we struggled today,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski said. “All three pitchers did a real nice job changing speeds and keeping us off balance. We had trouble squaring up the baseball, and they deserved to win today. They threw some quality pitches and made the plays. They definitely beat us on the mound today.”

When the Barbs (3-2) weren’t surrendering walks, they were inducing outs. The Red Raiders’ leading batter was Noah Konie, who recorded one hit but reached base three times.

“Pitching-wise, at times we were our own worst enemy,” DeKalb coach

Justin Keck said. “We were able to at least miss their bats enough to keep ourselves out of too much trouble or allow them to capitalize. We gave up three hits but gave up nine walks. Normally on an average night, that’s a recipe for disaster. Tonight, we were fortunate enough to win, and hopefully we can make adjustments in the future.”

The Barbs brought their bats in the third inning, causing the Red Raiders to make a pitching change with no outs and the bases loaded.

In that inning, the Barbs batted once through their lineup and posted three runs on the scoreboard to take a 4-0

lead. Designated hitter Danny Garcia drove home two RBIs in the game and went 2 for 4 with two walks “Obviously, we have very high hopes for Danny,” Keck said. “I don’t even know if our hopes are as high as the hopes he has for himself because that’s just the kind of kid he is. He’s such a hard worker and is very dedicated, and we’re going to need him on a consistent basis. But obviously, we’re gonna need guys on base for him to be a clutch hitter. It has to be a total team effort, and the results are starting to come.”

• Wednesday, March 23, 2016

ALGONQUIN – Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray offered a simple remedy after watching his infield defense commit seven errors as part of a 10-4 nonconference loss to Oak Forest in the Golden Eagles’ home and season opener.

“We’ve got to flush it and move on,” Murray said. “Like we always say, ‘It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.’ ” Jacobs, which finished last season at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field in the Class 4A state tournament, (tying for third place after rain wiped away their third-place game against Oak Park-River Forest), bumbled and threw away seven runs (four unearned) in the fifth and sixth innings as the Bengals intentionally tried to hit the ball on the ground.

In all, half of the 10 runs charged against Jacobs’ pitchers on Tuesday were unearned.

“They were actually bunting and play-

ing small ball,” senior catcher Dan Salomon said. “As soon as their coach and players figured it out, they were kind of getting in our head with all the errors. …

As a catcher, you can’t really do much.

What you can do is show your leadership and try and get your guys together.”

Many of the errors came on bunts, slap hits and dribblers that didn’t make it much farther than the pitcher’s mound.

Senior pitcher Johnny Rohde made the start for Jacobs (0-1), not allowing a hit in three innings with four strikeouts and two walks.

Rohde was charged with a run after Oak Forest’s Tommy Jager led off the game with a walk, stole second base, advanced to third on a wild pitch and came home on a sacrifice fly. Evan Liebau relieved Rohde and was charged with the loss despite not giving up a hit in two innings.

Jacobs didn’t give up a hit until the sixth inning, but trailed, 4-2, through 51/2 innings with four errors on defense. All three runs charged to Liebau were un-

Inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman and right tackle Bobby Massie all abandoned starting jobs with other clubs to come to Chicago and will be plug-and-play starters here.

When I asked Pace if DE/five-technique Akiem Hicks is an Ryan Pace instant starter as well, he explained, “All those guys … and obviously we still have the draft ahead of us and we’re going to continue to add competition, they’re all going to have to compete.

“But Hicks has starting ability. So we’re going to add defensive linemen and he was kind of the start of that.

So I’m excited about him and what he brings to the table.”

blocker. He’s got 35-inch arms,” Pace said. “I feel like he’s got the traits to continue to improve as a pass protector and I’m confident in our coaches to have to do that. He’ll continue to ascend.”

Pace’s comparison of Trevathan and Freeman to Pernell McPhee should really get Bears fans’ juices flowing.

Pace described Freeman as, “Freeman kind of has that chip on his shoulder kind of where he came from. He plays with an edge and kind of grit that you like and appreciate, especially at linebacker. The right demeanor.”

As pleased as Pace is with his smaller free-agent class this season, he emphasized he isn’t necessarily done, and when you ask him about his nine picks in the upcoming draft, his eyes light up like the Florida sun.

If I can borrow a Yogi malapropism, Pace’s future is still all in front of him.

But what is exciting about him now is he is clearly a man with a plan and he seems to be executing it very comfortably.

en’t starting on opening day this free agency class could be a bust. But one of the things I like so much about Pace is he was as honest as he could be about Hicks, who has not been able to claim a starting job of his own after three years in New Orleans and last season in New England in spite of being a 2012 third-round pick of the Saints out of Regina (Canada).

Asked why he likes Hicks, who’s struggled to establish himself, Pace said, “I think, too, it was evaluating him in New England when his game elevated. Especially the later part of the year, he really excelled. He’s always been a guy who’s got that raw, brute strength and power and he’s still refining his technique and getting better. And he’s a very coachable guy.

“I still feel like there’s a lot of upside ahead of him. He played at a small school and he’s still a young player.”

Massie’s youth was a selling point as well.

“He’s still a young player that’s still getting better and obviously he has great size. He’s a physical run

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace is a different man than he was a year ago.

He doesn’t look, sound or act any different than he did when he arrived in Chicago in January 2015 as the youngest general manager in the National Football League, and it’s not as if he wasn’t ready for the job then. He actually had a pretty good rookie year.

But the guy I and several other of the Bears beat reporters met with Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings has an air of confidence about him now that wasn’t obvious when he first arrived.

This was our first visit with Pace since before free agency started, and unlike the guy who last year came in like a home builder doing a knockdown of a property he really bought just for the foundation and went out and started consuming mass quantities of other teams’ castoffs – 16 in all including 13 signed to one-year deals – this year’s model has acquired just five new players and all but long snapper Aaron Brewer have been signed to multi-year deals and are

BULLS

Team on the mend, looking for identity

By HERB GOULD

hgould@suntimes.com Even when they’re at full strength, the Bulls have issues.

Consistency. Intensity. Meshing players’ strengths and roles, to name a few.

But there’s no question that being healthy is the best way to go about the battle for one of the final Eastern Conference playoff spots.

In their 109-102 win over Sacramento on Monday, the Bulls had their starting five (Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Taj Gibson, Pau Gasol) together for only the second time this year.

“It’s about getting that chemistry and figuring out where the ball needs to get,’’ coach Fred Hoiberg said Tuesday. “I thought we did a good job getting the ball to Derrick, who had it going late in the game. Taj made some big plays all game long at both ends.

Pau hit a big shot, but he’s on a limit.’’

One key issue is trying to find a way to use Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler most effectively on offense.

Rose, who is 9 for 15 and 10 for 15 in

the Bulls’ last two games, is on a roll.

The last time Rose had back-to-back 60 percent shooting games when he took at least 10 shots was Feb. 26-27, 2010, according to ESPN Stats ace Jacob Nitzberg.

“He’s playing his best stretch of basketball,’’ said Hoiberg, adding that Rose probably rushed his return from his training-camp eye injury. “He was basically in a dark room for three weeks after the eye injury. Did he come back too soon? Looking back on it, we could have got him in better rhythm and better shape to start the year. But he wanted to be out there with his teammates for the first game.’’

That said, Rose now seems to be peaking at the right time.

“There’s no doubt about it,’’ Hoiberg said. “He’s raising up and taking and making clutch shots with no fear. He’s attacking the basket. He’s doing a good job finding mismatches and throwing ahead on the break. And his defense has been much better the last few games, applying more hand pressure, getting deflections and getting in the ball better on the pick-and roll.’’

“Our effort tonight was unbelievable,” said Prairie Ridge coach Josh Cole. “We did an nice job of executing our offense, but the thing that impressed me most was the hustle and level of intensity we brought to the game tonight.

Even when we made mistakes we made up for them by just working hard.

“I don’t think the score tonight accurately reflects the quality of Jacobs’ players. They have some talented, athletic guys. We just came ready to play and did not give them a chance.”

Matt Bertone and Evan Schwartz each scored twice for the Eagles.

Brecken Overly, Jordyn Albrecht and Chantal Reynoso all had goals for Woodstock (3-2). Marissa Krueger had five saves. Amanda Sincere had two assists while Albrecht, Grace Maidment, Reynoso and Julia Walsdorf added assists.

Johnsburg 4, Marengo 0: At Johnsburg, the Skyhawks (1-0-1, 1-0 BNC East) got two goals apiece from Shae Giovanni and Amber Humphries in the win.

Humphries had an assist and goalkeeper Mackenzie McKay had a save. Marengo’s Maddie Hoey had 13 saves for the Indians.

Lake Zurich 1, Huntley 0: At Huntley, Lake Zurich scored with about 10 minutes left for the match’s only score. Paige Renkosik had four saves for the Red Raiders (0-1).

North Boone 4, Harvard 1: At Harvard, Gabbi Junod scored a pair of goals in North Boone’s first varsity girls soccer win.

Boylan 6, Marian Central 0: At Woodstock, the Hurricanes (0-1) gave up five second-half goals in a loss to Boylan to open their season. Marian Central goalkeeper Kersten Green made six saves.

ON THE COVER Sweet-and-Spicy Glazed Easter Ham. Recipe on Page 3.

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

When the subject is Easter eggs, most folks usually are talking about the gaily painted specimens in a basket. Me, I think of holiday brunch, and in particular of eggs Benedict. I think of the rich and indulgent dish of Canadian bacon, sautéed spinach and poached eggs enthroned on an English muffin, the whole kit and caboodle drenched in hollandaise sauce.

Making this winner, however, is no snap. Not only must you time the cooking of the separate ingredients just right, but whipping up the hollandaise – that classic French butter sauce – can be challenging.

Happily, I’ve solved the first problem by rethinking the components so they can be prepared in advance, then combined and baked together. This required making a few subtle substitutions.

I traded the Canadian bacon for a thin slice of ham, which does double duty as a cup to hold the rest of the ingredients.

Likewise, I swapped out the English muffin for croutons, which provide some welcome crunch. Finally, there’s now no need to poach the egg (a scary undertaking all by itself). Instead, it bakes right in the ham cup.

What about that fearsome old hollandaise sauce? In truth, it’s never been a terribly big deal as long as you take your time and pay attention. Over the years I’ve made it every which way, but the method laid out in this recipe is my favorite.

This recipe – unlike the classic method – does not require you to pull all of the cooked ingredients out of a hat at the moment of assembly. You can sauté the spinach and bake the croutons the day before your brunch. Then, on the morning of the appointed day, you can make the Hollandaise up to an hour ahead of time and store it in a wide-mouthed thermos that’s been pre-heated with boiling water. Last step? Add the ingredients to the ham cups.

Sweet, spicy come together for dry rub on traditional Easter ham

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

The Associated Press

At Easter, there is just nothing better than a spiral-cut ham. Because I grew up with my grandmother roasting fresh, white, uncured hams, a sweet-glazed spiral-cut ham always has been a delicacy to me.

My best friend’s mother bought one every Easter, and to me it was heavenly. I loved the crunchy sweet and spicy crust on the ends of the slices.

She served the ham cold and kept the leftover ham loosely covered with foil in the refrigerator. It didn’t last long as we – and the rest of the neighborhood kids – kept opening the fridge and pulling off a snack.

The first Easter I hosted the meal, I ordered a sweet-glazed spiral-cut ham.

I felt so grown up, and we ate that ham for days. I discovered the joy of a ham sandwich with thick-cut baked ham, crisp lettuce and lots of mayo on toasted white bread.

The best part is it is so easy to customize the ham with your own glaze. My “hack” is to make a sweet and spicy dry rub that bakes into a burnished “glaze” rather than brushing the meat with a wet sauce. It is so quick and easy I urge you to throw away any packet of sauce that comes with your ham and try it my way.

A dry glaze is a dry spice rub with both sugar and granulated honey (or honey powder) to add sweetness and flavor. You also could use maple sugar granules. Luckily, these powders are easier and easier to find at the grocer or online. My favorite sweet and spicy rub is a combination of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, white pepper, dried honey, salt and sugar. But feel free to riff with your favorite flavors. Just

don’t omit the sugar; it melts and holds the other spices together, creating the glaze.

Spiral-cut hams are fully cooked when you buy them and just need reheating. This recipe is written for a 5-pound ham, but the recipe easily can be adapted to accommodate whatever size you need to feed your Easter crowd. For timing, plan 12 to 15 minutes per pound at 275 degrees F. If you decide to cook a larger ham, you’ll

also need to increase the dry glaze.

Sweet-And-Spicy Glazed Ham

Start to finish: 1½ hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 12 5-pound pre-cooked spiral cut ham 1/2 cup honey powder or maple sugar granules 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Heat the oven to 275 degrees F. (For grilling directions, see the headnote above.)

Use paper towels to pat dry the ham, then set it, cut side down, in a shallow baking pan.

Set aside.

In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining ingredients and process until the ingredients are reduced to a fine powder.

Gently pry apart the tops of the spiral cuts.

Sprinkle about 1/3 of the seasoning mixture over the ham and push it down between the slices. Cover loosely with foil. Set the ham on the oven’s middle shelf or on the cooler side of the grill. Cook for 45 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven, turn the ham on its other side, then sprinkle another 1/3 of the seasoning mixture over it, again gently working it into the cuts.

Cover the ham with foil again, then return to the oven or grill. Cook for another 30 minutes, or until the ham feels warm all the way through but is not steaming hot.

Remove and discard the foil. Sprinkle the remaining dry glaze over the top of the entire ham. Turn the broiler on in the oven and place the ham under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes.

Watch closely: You want the glaze to bubble and caramelize but you don’t want it to burn.

When the ham is burnished to your liking, remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Easy-to-make cake for any occasion

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

Sometimes simple is just what the doctor ordered. And sometimes cake is just what the doctor ordered.

And because we all know we should be careful about mixing prescriptions, you should keep this simple cake recipe on hand for just those occasions. Believe me, I love a good thick streusel topping, and I love cakes that say “Look at me!” But sometimes I just need to mindlessly throw together a cake that will get itself into the oven, and fast.

Also, sometimes we need a cake that can function as a breakfast or brunch offering without too much explanation (chocolate cake requires a lot of justification before noon), or a midday snack, but also can hold up as a dessert offering.

You also may have some holiday house guests, and you may need a few make ahead things to have on hand when people would like “just a little something sweet.” This is that something, homemade and lovely perched on your counter for guests to help themselves to a sliver of. Or two.

Sour Cream Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active)

Sour Cream Cinnamon Coffee Cake AP photo

Servings: 10 For the cake: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus extra for the pan 2 cups all purpose-flour, plus extra for the pan 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt For the glaze: 2/3 cup powdered sugar 1 tablespoon milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a bit of butter to liberally coat the inside of a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle a bit of flour in the pan and turn to coat evenly, then tip out and discard any excess.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the 1 cup of butter and the sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla and sour cream. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the dry mixture into the butter mixture just until combined.

Scrape into the prepared pan and spread so the top is even. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack, then flip the cake out of the pan and let cool completely on the rack.

While the cake is cooling, make the glaze.

In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. When the cake is cool, transfer to a serving platter and use a teaspoon to drizzle the icing back and forth in a pretty zig zag pattern across the top of the cake.

Some days fruit is enough. Other days chocolate is needed

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

If you were to join my family for dinner on a regular weeknight, you’d see our typical dessert routine in action.

It works like this: My husband grabs my favorite tiny bamboo cutting board and a paring knife while I grab a variety of fruit. Then we sit with our four daughters, chatting about our days as we pass wedges of pears or whatever around the table. It’s sacred family time.

But sometimes a girl needs a serious dessert. And by serious, I mean chocolate.

Yes, I’ll sometimes satisfy this need by nibbling on a square of dark chocolate with my decaf espresso. That’s fine. But for truly special occasions I whip up little edible chocolate bowls.

They take just minutes to make using chocolate chips, and you can fill them with berries, your favorite fruit, or anything else you want. These little bowls are fun enough to make for kids’ sleepovers, yet elegant enough to

serve at a holiday party.

I love buying the darkest chocolate chips I can find (usually 60 percent) because I love the almost-bitter flavor of darker chocolate. Plus, it is healthier.

Once you master the (simple) technique of making these chocolate baskets, you easily can customize them, adding cinnamon, cayenne, rosemary, chunky sea salt, flecks of orange zest, whatever your imagination desires.

I usually fill my bowls with berries or in-season fruit (try lightly sautéed pears), but feel free to treat them like super tasty tart crusts and build even more decadent desserts in them.

Dark Chocolate Berry Baskets Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 8

1 cup dark chocolate chips 1 teaspoon coconut oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted almonds Kosher salt 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (white, if

you have it) 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar Ground black pepper 2 cups halved or quartered fresh strawberries (or other berries or orange segments, membranes and seeds removed) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint In a large glass or other microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil.

Microwave on 50 percent power, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.

Spread a few spoons of the melted chocolate into a silicone cupcake liner, using the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the side of the liner so it is evenly and thickly coated. Sprinkle the wet chocolate with a teaspoon of almonds and a tiny pinch of kosher salt. Repeat with 7 more liners. Chill the chocolate until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the vinegar, brown sugar and a pinch of pepper. Add the strawberries and toss to coat.

Let sit to allow flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes, or up to a few hours. Immediately before serving, stir the mint into the straw-

I love lamb in all its guises: lamb chops, lamb stew, rack of lamb, ground lamb, souvlaki – you name it, I dig it. But my favorite is a big old leg of lamb, seasoned and roasted, with each succulent slice landing on the plate like a steak unto itself.

At the supermarket, you have a choice. Leg of lamb is available on the bone or off the bone and butterflied (in which form it’s scored to an even thickness). Carving a leg of lamb on the bone can be a challenge. If you start instead with a boneless roast and tie it into a roll before roasting, carving is a snap. Another advantage of working with the boneless guys is you can season the inside as well as the outside. The secret agent – surprise, surprise – is salt. When you rub the cut side of a butterflied roast a few hours ahead of time with an herb mixture containing salt, the meat deeply absorbs flavor from the herbs and garlic.

Another way to ensure your leg of lamb turns out tasty and juicy is to slow-roast it. The lower temperature – 275 degrees F. as opposed to 350 degrees F. or higher – ensures the lamb will be cooked to the same degree of doneness from edge to edge.

Happily, if you do indeed slow-roast your leg of lamb, the outside edge will become just brown enough, saving

pockets of internal fat on the inside

Slow-Roasted Herbed Leg of Lamb

In a small bowl combine all the ingredients except the lamb. Rub the herb mixture evenAP photo ly on both sides of the lamb and let the lamb rest, at room temperature, for 2 hours.

Heat the oven to 275 degrees F. Place the lamb, fat side down, on a cutting board. Starting at the short end, roll up the lamb tightly and tie it crosswise with kitchen twine in 1 inch intervals. Tie a string around the roast lengthwise, weaving it into some of the crosswise strings as you go. Place the lamb on a rack set in a large roasting pan, fat side up.

Roast on the oven’s middle shelf until the lamb reaches 125 degrees F. at the center for medium-rare meat, about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.

Remove the roast from the oven, transfer it to a platter, and let it rest, loosely covered with foil, for 20 to 30 minutes before you the extra step of having to sear the Servings: 8 carving.

Mix up your hummus game with carrot purée, lamb

By J.M. HIRSCH

The Associated Press Entertaining should not be about fuss or pomp. I want my focus to be on my company. And on making sure the food packs tons of big, satisfying flavor. Not much beyond that matters.

Which is why I tend to gravitate to a particular version of family-style dining when I have guests. It’s not just a matter of having shared dishes, though that’s certainly a start. My approach is more about how the food is presented and consumed, delivering the message this meal is about comfort and friendship.

Here’s how it works. I start with a base. The base should be something easily spread. Hummus is a great choice. Many salads and roasted vegetables work, too. Savory yogurt dips work, particularly if you’re going for a Greek menu. Whatever you opt for, this base is spread thick over a large serving platter.

Next, you decide what to top that with. I love roasted or seared meats

that have been cut into bite-size portions. Roasted vegetables would be a great vegetarian version. Same for beans and cheese. Whatever you go with, this is heaped on top of the base layer. You finish with a sprinkle of something that ties everything together, such as chopped fresh herbs or crumbled goat cheese.

Now set the platter in the center of the table and give your guests something to scoop with. Could be flatbread. Could be lettuce leaves.

Could be tortilla chips. And that’s it.

Get everyone to dig in, quite literally.

Sound like a lot to coordinate? It’s actually quite simple and comes together in no time.

Carrot Hummus with Cumin Lamb and Goat Cheese Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 6

2 pounds carrots, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks 1 cup water

5 tablespoons tahini 4 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1½-pound boneless leg of lamb 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 large yellow onion, diced 1 tablespoon cumin seeds 1/2 cup white wine 2 ounces crumbled soft goat cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint Pita bread, warmed, to serve In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until the carrots are very tender and there are only a couple tablespoons of water remaining in the pan. Transfer the carrots and liquid in the pan to a food processor. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until smooth, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Trim as much fat as possible from the lamb, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the cubes with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the

canola oil. Add the lamb cubes and sear on all sides until nicely browned but not quite cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. You may need to do this in batches, adding a bit more oil with each batch. Transfer the cooked lamb to a plate. Return the skillet to the heat and add the onion and cumin seeds. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion is tender.

Add the wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. After 1 minute, return the lamb and any juices on the plate to the skillet, stir well and heat for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

To assemble, use a large spoon to spread the carrot hummus over a serving platter, creating a slight depression at the center.

Spoon the lamb and onions over the hummus.

Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and mint.

Serve with pita bread.

Unexpected side perfect for Easter

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

NWHerald.com • Wednesday, March 23, 2016

Easter sides are depressingly predictable. There will be asparagus, of course. If you’re lucky, there might even be three or four variations of asparagus. And there will be peas. And gratin potatoes. And probably some sort of salad that most people will only eat to be polite. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of this.

It’s just that it would be nice to offer something different. So we’ll help you with this one. Try our butter roasted radishes with tarragon and lemon. It’s a simple dish that comes together in minutes, but has a wonderful flavor that is both rich and light and lemony – the perfect combination for spring.

Indian-Spiced Easter Lamb AP photo

Bring new life to spring lamb

By MEERA SODHA

The Associated Press

Spring is an exciting time for food in the little farming village where I live in the northeast of England. Wild garlic and asparagus grow as high as the lambs bounce, daffodils tickle the playing fields and fresh optimism blows through the community as the days get longer and the farmers get busier. But nowhere is the celebration of spring more happily played out than on the dinner table on Easter Sunday.

Although my family is Hindu, having lived in England for more than 30 years has meant we celebrate the cultural bits of Easter, which includes the Sunday feast with family and friends.

We always have leg of lamb as our centerpiece with the season’s freshest greens to accompany it. Still, we can’t help but spice up our lamb a little with warming seasonings. In India, you’ll often hear meat described as “so good it melts in your mouth.”

It’s the highest accolade that can be awarded to meat, and cooking it slowly leaves it ridiculously soft without a quarrel.

This recipe is a beautiful alternative to a traditional Easter Sunday roast lamb. It’s packed full of flavor for no more effort than usual; the dish takes just minutes to prep. It’s best served with fresh asparagus and peas, some pan-fried potatoes dressed in cumin, salt and butter, and yogurt with fresh mint and grated cucumber.

Indian-Spiced Easter Lamb

Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 tablespoon cumin seeds (or 1¼ tablespoons ground cumin) Two 2-inch cinnamon sticks (or 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon) 3/4 tablespoon kosher salt 2-inch chunk fresh ginger 6 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon garam masala 1½ teaspoons chili powder 1½ tablespoons canola oil 5-pound leg of lamb 2 cups boiling water 1 tablespoon cornstarch Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large-baking dish with foil.

Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder,

grind the cumin seeds and cinnamon until fine. In a food processor, combine the cumin-cinnamon mixture with the salt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, chili powder and canola oil. Blend until smooth.

Use a paring knife to cut deep slits into the lamb on all sides. Spread the seasoning paste over the lamb, using your hands to get it into all the nooks and crannies, including the slits.

Set the lamb into the prepared pan and roast for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pour the water around the outside of the lamb, then cover tightly with foil. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. and bake for another hour.

Remove the lamb from the pan, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, carefully pour the liquid in the pan into small saucepan. Simmer until reduced by half.

Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cool water, then add to the simmering liquid.

Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Slice the lamb and serve with the thickened pan juices.

READER NOTICE:

John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, a Scottish novelist, historian and politician who served as Governor General of Canada, said, “Every man at the bottom of his heart believes that he is a born detective.”

A bridge player needs to be a detective. There are clues littered around every deal, just waiting to be interpreted correctly.

In today’s deal, first there is a bidding question. North opens one club, East overcalls one heart, South responds one spade, and North raises to two spades. What should South do now?

Then we don our deerstalker and decide what South should do in four spades. West leads the heart jack.

East wins with his king, cashes the heart ace, and continues with the heart five. When South ruffs up with the spade six, West discards a diamond. How should South continue?

If responder bids one of a major and is raised by opener to two of that major, responder passes with nine losers, insists on game with seven losers, and makes a game-try with eight losers. So, here, South, over two spades, continues with three clubs. Then North should jump to four spades because he has good clubs, two aces and four-card spade support.

South, who must hold his pointed-suit losers to one, would usually take the spade finesse. However, if West had that king, surely he would have overruffed at trick three. South should lead his spade queen, then put up dummy’s ace. Here, the king drops, and declarer can claim. But if the king does not appear, South plays another trump and hopes clubs are 3-3 or East can be squeezed if he has four clubs and the diamond king.
