Good morning, McHenry County ...

Election black cloud continues to loom Mary McClellan has a problem on her hands, and I don’t think she realizes it.

A lot of people don’t trust the results of March 15’s primary election.

Here we are, nine days after the election, and I am still receiving new stories of voter disenfranchisement. I’m still having a conversation with a local elected official who says the results can’t be trusted. I’m still seeing examples of peculiar incidents at polls across the county.

This is a problem.

McClellan, the McHenry County clerk, issued a late-day news release the day after the election defending the results and acknowledging communication issues, seemingly downplaying the outcry that started early Election Day and hasn’t stopped since.

When the integrity of an election and the credibility of an office is under attack more

SEATTLE – After a full day, a man, who sat perched near the top of an 80-foot-tall sequoia tree in the middle of a shopping district in downtown Seattle, finally climbed down safely just before noon, having transfixed the city and the Internet for 25 hours while police closed adjacent streets and tried to coax him down.

As onlookers cheered and chanted “Man In Tree” – in deference to the Twitter hashtag by which he became known – he sat down near the base of the conifer and appeared to be chomping on a piece of fruit.

Officers initially kept their distance but soon approached the man, got him on a gurney and took him for a medical evaluation.

Reasons for the drama remained unclear Wednesday evening.

March 17, a woman – later identified as 27-year-old Jeanna Rosing

– yelled at police and paramedics to hurry and follow her into the master bedroom, according to the reports.

Inside the home, police said they found Jacobson taking shallow breaths. Police also saw a glass crack pipe with burnt residue, a small white ashtray with a yellow powdery substance police suspected was crack cocaine and several small knotted plastic bags containing what police suspected were crack rocks on a nearby nightstand, police reports show. A pornographic DVD was in the open tray of the DVD player, police reported.

LAKE IN THE HILLS

Village chooses SEECOM services Contract with police dispatch center would begin in May 2017

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@nwherald.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village’s Committee of the Whole advanced a contract with SEECOM for its police dispatch services at its meeting Tuesday.

The contract, which will officially be voted on at Thursday’s Village Board meeting, would make Lake in the Hills the latest municipality to change dispatchers to prepare for a state-mandated consolidation of those services in 2017.

Lake in the Hills Police Chief David Brey said Tuesday the contract would begin May 1, 2017, and last for five years.

The village currently has its own dispatch center.

Lake in the Hills will pay a base rate of $394,631 in the first year of the contract, and that rate will increase by 3 percent each year. Any new growth in calls for service will be added into the rate.

SEECOM, based in Crystal Lake, will be one of the county’s three dispatch centers after consolidation in 2017, joining the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and

The consolidation was ordered by Senate Bill 96, signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2015, which requires any county with at least 250,000 residents to cut its number of dispatch centers in half.

The Huntley Police Department, which also uses the Lake in the Hills dispatch center, will also move to SEECOM

after the Huntley Village Board approved the move in February.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District also uses SEECOM. Earlier in the week, McHenry hired an architect firm to do design work for its expanded dispatch facility, which will add the cities of Woodstock and Harvard next year.

I’m honored, and I’m humbled – beyond humbled. I love that I work alongside wide-eyed students and am able to share my life wisdom with them. Being a Golden Apple candidate has forced me to reflect, and it has rejuvenated me.”

Josh Norten, Cary-Grove High School science teacher

CRYSTAL LAKE

By ALLISON GOODRICH

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Cary-Grove High School science teacher is the only McHenry County educator to make the list of finalists for a 2016 Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Finalist Josh Norten, who teaches AP physics 1 and AP physics C, has taught science at Cary-Grove for 19 years, said Shannon Mortimer, director of communications for Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155.

After learning of his nomination in November, Mortimer said Norten had to complete five essays and submit three letters from colleagues.

“I’m honored, and I’m humbled – beyond humbled,” Norten said in a statement. “I love that I work alongside wide-eyed students and am able to

share my life wisdom with them. Being a Golden Apple candidate has forced me to reflect, and it has rejuvenated me.”

An Illinois nonprofit that aims to inspire and support Illinois teachers, Golden Apple each year chooses 10 teachers throughout Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will and McHenry counties who have demonstrated their role in building a better-educated society through teaching, the organization website states.

School District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said in a statement that he and the school board are incredibly proud of Norten for being named a finalist.

“He is dedicated to our students, and he has a passion for teaching,” Thomas said.

The 30 finalists were chosen from a pool of about 400 candidates, according to Golden Apple. Representing ninththrough 12th-grade teachers, the other finalists come from areas such as Arlington Heights, St. Charles, Orland Park, Mt. Prospect and Chicago, among others.

The group will be honored April 2 during a Celebration of Excellence. A final review and classroom observations will take place before the selection of 10 recipients.

Dollar General in works for village

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – It’s possible that by this spring, construction could start for a Dollar General off Route 173, village officials said.

Jim Kastner, who recently became chairman of Hebron’s planning and zoning commission, said the Hebron Village Board on Monday approved the commission’s recommendation to rezone the vacant property at 12130 Route 173 from industrial to commercial retail.

The 2.3 acres being rezoned is part of a larger parcel of about 10 acres of

land, Kastner said.

He said the commission also approved the dividing of the property, but a contract for Dollar General to buy the property is subject to the Illinois Department of Transportation’s signoff on the approval for the final plat.

Grass and gravel from a building that was demolished years ago Jim Kastner remain at the site now, Kastner said.

He said the proposed building would be about 9,700 square feet and include 44 parking spaces.

“It’s a type of service, a type of retail use the village does not have at this point,” Kastner said.

If the plans for the business go through, Kastner said it could encourage other retail businesses to locate in the area, which is on the edge of downtown Hebron.

Trustees unanimously approved the recommendation, Kastner said, and Village President John Jacobson was absent.

Jacobson was arrested Tuesday on felony drug and gun charges, after police found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition at his home after a March 17 incident.

wards her.”

Rosing told police Jacobson had been in his room for a while when she found him unconscious sitting on the top of his toilet with his head learning back against the wall and his eyes rolling back in his head, based on police records. She told police she pulled him on the floor and started splashing water on his face.

Paramedics from the Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District took him to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where documents show he was released about 7 a.m.

McHenry County Sheriff and U.S. Marshals Great Lake Regional Task Force officers arrested Jacobson at his home Tuesday, four days after they obtained a warrant for his arrest. He was released from McHenry County Jail later that night after posting $2,500 bail. He is next due in court April 5 in front of Judge Michael Feetterer.

Jacobson could not be reached for comment. His future with the village is unclear.

State law does not bar Jacobson from continuing to serve as village president while charges are pending, Illinois State Board of Elections Deputy General Counsel Bernadette Harrington said.

“There is no prohibition against someone holding a municipal office while they are being charged with a felony,” Harrington said.

However, state law does prohibit convicted felons from holding local public office. Harrington said if Jacobson is convicted, he would lose his office the day he is found guilty.

• Thursday, March 24, 2016

Executing a search warrant later that day, police also found a silver spoon with burn marks, a syringe, 140 rounds of ammunition, a shotgun and a Chore Boy, a scouring pad used in makeshift crack pipes.

When police asked Rosing what Jacobson had been doing that night, she told them he had been drinking and smoking crack, based on a report of one officer’s conversation with Rosing.

She said the night started about 10 p.m.

March 16 when Jacobson picked her up at her Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, home.

Rosing told police Jacobson told her that he had gone to Rockford to meet his drug dealer earlier in the day and “purchased crack cocaine for their evening together.”

Rosing – who told police Jacobson was an old family friend – said she acted as Jacobson’s bartender that night.

“Jeanna said that several times John would go into his room and would smoke crack cocaine behind his closed door,” one document reads. “Jeanna said that she thought John would try to hide it from her that he was smoking crack cocaine because she thought he felt embarrassed of his drug use habit.”

Jacobson faced drug charges during his 2013 campaign after police said 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 McHenry County prosecutors.

Police reports show in his most recent run-in, Jacobson and Rosing played a game of strip rummy and Jacobson asked her to get naked and lie in bed with him.

“Jeanna said that John had intentionally turned up the heat in his house to make her hot so that she would want to take her clothes off,” the police report reads. “Jeanna said that John was acting ‘really pervy’ and ‘creepy’ to-

LOCAL BRIEF IDOT announces Richmond road closures near Route 12 railroad

RICHMOND – For the next few months, motorists should expect delays because of road closures on Route 12 at the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad Bridge in Richmond.

The Illinois Department of Transportation said in a news release that the closures were necessary to make repairs on the railroad bridge, which crosses Route 12 north of Tryon Grove and Khun roads.

Every night, weather permitting, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. April 4 to July 15, Route 12 at the bridge will be closed.

A detour will direct northbound traffic on Route 12 west on Tryon Grove Road, north on Keystone Road and east on Route 173 to connect with Route 12, according to the release.

Southbound traffic will take the opposite route.

LOCAL BRIEFS LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills home was left with significant smoke damage after a kitchen fire Wednesday night, fire officials said.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District was dispatched about 9:30 p.m. to 535 Delaware Drive in Lake in the Hills for a reported structure fire.

Fire Chief Peter Van Dorpe said crews arrived to find a smoldering fire that appeared to have started with a kitchen appliance. It appeared the homeowners were not at the residence, but rather came home to it, retrieved their two cats and left for the animal hospital, Van Dorpe said.

Crews still were working to make sure there was no residual fire at 10:20 p.m., and an investigator had arrived on the scene

to assess the situation. The fire remains under investigation. The Lake in Hills Police Department also assisted at the scene.

BRIEFS Joe Garagiola, ex-baseball player turned glib broadcaster, dies

PHOENIX – Joe Garagiola’s nine-year baseball career was a modest one. His 57 years in broadcasting that followed made him one of the most popular figures in the sports world and beyond.

The man Arizona Diamondbacks President Joe Derrick Hall called “one of Garagiola the biggest personalities this game has ever seen” died Wednesday. He was 90.

The Diamondbacks announced Garagiola’s death before their exhibition game against San Francisco, and there were murmurs of shock and sadness at the ballpark. He had been in ill health in recent years.

Growing up in the Hill neighborhood of St. Louis not far from future Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, Garagiola went on to hit .257 during nine years in the majors.

His highlight came early, getting a fourhit game in the 1946 World Series and helping the hometown Cardinals win the championship as a 20-year-old rookie.

“Not only was I not the best catcher in the major leagues, I wasn’t even the best

catcher on my street,” Garagiola once remarked.

But it was after he stopped playing that his fortunes took off. He thrived as a glib baseball broadcaster and fixture on the “Today” show, leading to a nearly 30-year association with NBC. Garagiola won baseball’s Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting in 1991. He kept working well into his 80s, serving as a part-time analyst for Diamondbacks telecasts until he announced his retirement in February 2013.

“He had a genuine impact on the craft.

He was among the first to bring a humorous, storytelling style to the booth,” NBC announcer Bob Costas said.

TV actor and acting union leader Ken Howard dies at age 71

LOS ANGELES – Actor Ken Howard, the strapping , versatile character actor who starred in the 1970s drama “The White Shadow” and served as president of SAG-AFTRA, has died at age 71. The union announced Howard’s death Ken Howard Wednesday. No cause of death was given.

Howard’s career spanned four decades

in TV, theater and film. In the acclaimed CBS series “The White Shadow,” which aired from 1978 to 1981, he starred as a white coach to an urban high school basketball team – a part, one of Howard’s best known, that drew on the personal history of the 6-foot-6-inch actor, who played basketball growing up on Long Island in New York and at Amherst College.

He was a staple on TV, starring opposite Blythe Danner in “Adam’s Rib” on ABC in the 1970s and appearing as the chipper Kabletown boss Hank Hooper on NBC’s “30 Rock” some 40 years later.

In early seasons of NBC’s “Crossing Jordan,” which premiered in 2001, he played the father of star Jill Hennessy, a retired police detective who gave behind-the-scenes advice to his daughter, a crime-solving forensic pathologist.

He starred opposite Jimmy Smits in the 2007 CBS drama “Cane.”

Howard played Thomas Jefferson on Broadway in “1776,” a role he reprised in the 1972 film. He won a Tony Award for Robert Marasco’s Catholic boarding school drama “Child’s Play.”

After making his film debut opposite Liza Minnelli in 1970’s “Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon,” Howard’s

films included “Rambo,” “In Her Shoes,” “Michael Clayton,” and last year’s Jennifer Lawrence starrer, “Joy.” He won an Emmy for his performance in HBO’s film “Grey Gardens” in 2009.

Ex-Mexican Foreign Minister Fernando Solana dies at age 85

MEXICO CITY – Fernando Solana, who served as Mexico’s foreign minister while the North American Free Trade Agreement was negotiated and signed, died Wednesday at age 85.

Mexico’s current foreign minister, Claudia Fernando Ruiz Massieu, expressed Solana her condolences through her official Twitter account.

Solana was foreign minister for President Carlos Salinas de Gortari from 1988 to 1993. He worked on the free trade agreement that created what was then the world’s largest free-trade block, boosting commerce between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.

Solana also served other presidents as education and commerce secretary and was in Mexico’s Senate.

Alleged sex abuse victim may testify at Hastert sentencing

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – An alleged sex abuse victim of Dennis Hastert could testify about his emotional trauma next month at the former U.S. House speaker’s sentencing in his hush-money case, according to a transcript of an unannounced court hearing this week during which the court linked sexabuse allegations to the Illinois Republican for the first time.

Hastert, 74, pleaded guilty Oct. 28 to violating bank laws as he sought to pay $3.5 million to ensure someone referred to in the 2015 indictment only as “Individual A” stayed quiet about past misconduct by Hastert against Individual A. The misconduct dated back decades to about the time Hastert was a high school wrestling coach.

The Associated Press and other media outlets, citing anonymous sources, previously reported that Hastert wanted to hide claims he sexually molested someone, but the issue had not been raised in unsealed filings or in court until this week.

The transcript of Tuesday’s federal court hearing, provided Wednesday to the AP by the presiding judge’s court

Law firm to look at how Chicago police complaints are probed

CHICAGO – A law firm will conduct a six-month review of the Chicago civil oversight board that investigates police-involved shootings and complaints against officers, the head of the board said Wednesday.

Sharon Fairley, who runs the Independent Police Review Authority, acknowledged an audit is needed, since the board has upheld very few complaints in the nine years it has existed and only twice has determined that police shootings violated the department’s use-of-force policies.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel appointed Fairley to head IPRA late last year amid an outpouring of anger over the killing of a black

reporter, does not mention Individual A or raise the prospect that that person might speak at sentencing. Instead, it recounts the judge speaking to prosecutors and attorneys about “Individual D.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Block informed Judge Thomas M. Durkin that prosecutors only recently learned “Individual D” is an alleged victim and that he was leaning toward testifying at sentencing, according to

teenager, Laquan McDonald, by a white police officer who shot him 16 times.

Even before Fairley’s announcement, IPRA’s critics said nothing short of dismantling the agency would suffice.

“The current system of IPRA is one of the main things that has allowed the code of silence to flourish in the Chicago Police Department,” said Sheila Bedi, a clinical professor of law at Northwestern University. “It needs to be abolished and entirely reconstituted.” Bedi could not be reached for comment after Fairley’s announcement.

The findings of the McGuireWoods law firm’s review will be made public, Fairley said.

Statements in teen’s killing to be used at trial

CHICAGO – A man accused of fatally shooting a Chicago honors student claims a gang leader had pressured him to open fire, according to inter-

the transcript.

“He is deciding whether he would like to ask the court to appear as a witness at the sentencing,” Block said, according to the transcript. “He’s not a hundred percent certain he wants to do that, but he has been moving in that direction.” Block also called Individual D “a very unique witness who we’re trying to be sensitive to” because “he’s in a very difficult position.”

Durkin said that if the person “wants to come in and talk about being a victim of sexual abuse, he’s entitled to do so because that informs my decision about the history and characteristics of the defendant.”

The defense said it doesn’t plan to challenge allegations made by Individual D, but also urged the court to consider taking his account in writing, rather than having him testify during sentencing. Block said it was important for Individual D to describe how the alleged abused impacted him.

“The fact that the defense may not challenge the specifics of what the defendant did to Mr. D does not mean the court shouldn’t consider the effects on Individual D,” Block said at the hearing.

The prosecutor said the man had a conflict with the April 8 sentenc-

views with police.

Recently released transcripts of police interviews with Micheail Ward offer a glimpse into the tactics used by officers while investigating the death of Hadiya Pendleton, 15, the Chicago Tribune reported. She was killed a week after performing at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in January 2013.

Documents show officers tried to use the national attention garnered by Pendleton’s death to convince Ward to speak after his arrest. One detective told Ward that Obama was aware of Hadiya’s slaying and that the FBI had offered to help with the investigation.

Ward eventually told police that he felt pressured by co-defendant Kenneth Williams, a gang superior in the 4-6 Terror faction of the Gangster Disciples, to open fire into the park where Hadiya and other King College Prep High School honors students were seeking shelter from a rainstorm.

ing date set previously and, on those grounds, the judge agreed to move sentencing to April 27.

The transcript also said that a sister of another alleged victim has told prosecutors she wants to testify.

Hastert’s attorney, Thomas Green, raised reservations about testimony from both of the potential witnesses.

“Neither Mr. D nor this other person ... are classic victims under the Victim Protection Act ... so they have no statutory entitlement to appear,” Green said.

Durkin ruled that the two would be able to speak at the hearing if they choose and that the defense could question them if Hastert’s attorneys believe either has said something that is “factually incorrect.”

Jolene Burdge of Billings, Montana, told The Associated Press later Wednesday that she is the sister who intends to testify about sexual abuse against her brother, who died in 1995.

Burdge said her brother, Stephen Reinboldt, told her his first homosexual contact was with Hastert and that it lasted throughout his time at Illinois’ Yorkville High School. Hastert worked at the school from 1965 to 1981, teaching history and coaching wrestling.

Chicago files suits against State Charter Commission

CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools officials said they have filed lawsuits over the Illinois State Charter School Commission’s decision to block plans to close three underperforming charter schools.

The lawsuits were filed Wednesday in Cook County and claim the commission is overstepping charter school law.

Schools CEO Forrest Claypool said the commission has “ignored its own academic standards” to keep underperforming schools open. He also called on state legislators to cut the commission’s power.

Earlier this month, the commission overturned the district’s closure plan. That changes how the schools are operated and funded by the state.

Critics have said the decision to close the schools came too quickly in the wake of policy changes.

Activist avoids more jail time for freeing mink, vandalism

CHICAGO – A judge has sentenced an animal rights activist to a year in a halfway house and on house arrest for vandalizing an Illinois fur farm and releasing more than 2,000 mink from cages.

U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve on Monday also sentenced 27-year-old Tyler Lang of Los Angeles to three months’ time already served and ordered him to pay $200,000 to the couple who operated the farm in Morris.

Lang and 28-year-old Kevin Johnson of Los Angeles each pleaded guilty to conspiring to travel in interstate commerce with the purpose of damaging an animal enterprise. Johnson was sentenced last month to three years in federal prison.

Lang and Johnson were accused of vandalizing the farm and releasing the mink in August 2013. About 1,600 of the mink were recovered.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Cruz buoyed, but needs near miracle vs. Trump

WAUWATOSA, Wis. – While Ted Cruz decried “gutter politics” against him, former Republican presidential contenders gave him a boost Wednesday, casting the Texas senator as the party’s last best chance to stop Donald Trump. The long and bitter 2016 campaign shifted to a new Midwestern battleground.

Ahead of Wisconsin’s April 5 primary, Gov. Scott Walker, who dropped out of the race last fall, declared that only Cruz can catch Trump as time runs short in the primary season. And former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush gave Cruz his endorsement.

The Republican contest was hit again by personal insults – this time involving the candidates’ families. Cruz slammed Trump during an appearance in the front-runner’s hometown for making a vague threat on Twitter the night before to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife.

Paul Lewis, the Pentagon’s special envoy for Guantanamo detention closure, declined to provide the GOP-led House Foreign Affairs Committee with details. He would not say whether the incidents occurred before or after President Barack Obama took office in January 2009.

An Obama administration official said Lewis was referring to an incident that involved an Afghan prisoner released from Guantanamo while George W. Bush was president. During the Bush administration, 532 prisoners were released from Guantanamo. The Obama administration has released 144 detainees.

Wathiq Bilbeisi enjoys a lentil soup Wednesday in Orange County’s “Little Arabia” neighborhood in Anaheim, Calif., as he discussed remarks by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz that advocated for increased surveillance of Muslims in the U.S.

American Muslims defy Ted Cruz’s call for surveillance

By GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. – A few miles from Disneyland is a place most tourists never see.

The signs along the thoroughfare suddenly switch to Arabic script advertising hookah shops, Middle Eastern sweets and halal meat.

At a run-down strip mall in the neighborhood known as Little Arabia, flags from a half-dozen Muslim countries flap in a stiff breeze. Flying above them is a giant American flag.

After Sen. Ted Cruz called for increased surveillance of Muslims in the U.S., many people in this community and others like it either challenged the Republican presidential candidate or dismissed his comments as mostly meaningless rhetoric.

Majd Takriti, 43, stopped to discuss Cruz’s remarks as he picked his mother up from a butcher shop. He said he took Cruz and rival Donald Trump with a grain of salt.

“A lot of what they say is to attract attention,” he said.

A block down the street, Jordanian native and 44-year U.S. resident Wathiq Bilbeisi slurped on lentil soup during his break at a Jordanian restaurant. He seemed mystified by the concern among some non-Muslim Americans about the candidates’ comments.

“The politicians, they want to say whatever the constituents want to hear. I don’t think they mean what they say, and in the end, they’ll have to come to terms with themselves,” he said.

Bilbeisi wasn’t worried about the GOP seeking major changes to U.S. law.

“When they go to Congress to get laws to watch the Muslims, nobody’s going to do anything about it,” he said.

“It’s against American values.”

At a nearby hookah shop displaying pipes in a rainbow of colors, employee Guss Zayat questioned whether IS members were true Muslims.

“They are killing more Muslims than anyone else in this world. They are killing children. They are killing

Christians and Muslims in our home countries,” said Zayat, who came to America from Beirut about three years ago. Politicians “should know the difference between ISIS and Islam.”

Cruz’s statement on Tuesday came hours after the deadly attacks at the Brussels airport and a subway station that killed dozens of people and wounded many more. The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility.

He said law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Echoing earlier statements from Trump, Cruz also said the U.S. should stop the flow of refugees from countries where the Islamic State has a significant presence.

In Washington, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was asked Wednesday at a news conference about calls to step up patrols of Muslim communities. She said the Muslim community “is one of our greatest partners in our fight against terrorism and public safety generally.”

Officials: Brussels bombers may have rushed attack

By RAF CASERT and ANGELA CHARLTON The Associated Press

BRUSSELS – As police hunted for the surviving Brussels bomber, evidence mounted Wednesday that the same Islamic State cell carried out the attacks in both Paris and Brussels, and that the militants may have launched this week’s slaughter in haste because they feared authorities were closing in on them.

On a day of mourning across Belgium after Tuesday’s bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that killed 31 people and wounded more than 270, new information emerged about the four attackers: • European security officials said one of the suicide bombers was Najim Laachraoui, a Moroccan-born Belgian whom police have hunted as the suspected bombmaker in the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris by the Islamic State that killed 130 people.

• The other two suicide bombers were Belgian-born brothers, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, and his younger brother, Khalid, both known to the police as common criminals, not anti-Western radicals.

• Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ibrahim El Bakraoui was caught in June 2015 near Turkey’s bor-

But other Turkish officials said he was released from Dutch custody because of a lack of evidence of involvement in extremism.

Details of the investigation from

chief prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw pointed to a rising sense of panic among the three bombers who blew themselves up. An unidentified fourth man who was shown in airport video surveillance footage remains at large after Van Leeuw said his suitcase bomb failed to detonate properly. Authorities said he was the man in a light jacket and hat on the far

right of the video footage.

Van Leeuw said the bomb did partially explode after police had already evacuated the terminal, injuring nobody.

The prosecutor said a laptop seized from a garbage can on a street outside the brothers’ last known address contained a message purportedly from Ibrahim El Bakraoui that indicated he was expecting to be arrested imminently following Friday’s capture in Brussels of the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam.

“I don’t know what to do, I’m in a hurry, people are looking for me everywhere,” Van Leeuw quoted the message as saying. “If I give myself up I’ll end up in a cell next to him,” – an apparent reference to the just-arrested Abdeslam.

Police were drawn to the brothers’ apartment Tuesday night thanks to a tip from a taxi driver who had unwittingly delivered them to the airport, Van Leeuw said. Inside the northeast Brussels residence they found an apparent bomb-making factory, including 33 pounds of homemade explosives and nails for use as shrapnel.

Neighbors told The Associated Press they had no idea of the brothers’ activities and barely saw them until the taxi collected them and their visibly heavy bags Tuesday morning.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – After years of complaints that they weren’t taking sexual assault reports seriously, colleges are finally doing so – and finding themselves slammed with lawsuits from men who say they were unfairly suspended or otherwise punished. The schools are feeling caught in the middle.

“We’re trying to walk the razor’s edge between being more attentive to the issue but still being fair to all our students,” said Dana Scaduto, general counsel at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, who has testified before Congress on the issue.

At least 75 men have sued their schools since 2013, complaining largely of reverse discrimination and unfair disciplinary proceedings. Most were never charged with a crime because the accuser didn’t go to police or authorities decided there wasn’t enough evidence.

This month, former Yale University basketball player Jack Montague said he planned to sue after he was expelled over a sexual assault allegation, and two University of Oregon basketball players suspended over 2014 rape accusations sued for $10 million each after prosecutors declined to bring charges.

used in civil cases, instead of the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard employed in criminal trials. That means a student can be disciplined if the college finds it more likely than not that an assault occurred.

Schools that do not comply can face an investigation and a cutoff of federal money. As of mid-March, the Office for Civil Rights was conducting 219 such investigations at 173 schools.

Known as the “Dear Colleague Letter,” it has been hailed by advocates who say many schools are now moving in the right direction to address campus sexual assaults.

“For a very long time, there was no due process for victims. Victims were told to withdraw from school. Victims were told to take the semester off,” said Colby Bruno of the nonprofit Victim Rights Law Center. Now, “yes, there are more decisions against perpetrators. Yes, perpetrators are being held accountable. And that is going to bother people.”

Advocates for the accused say that school disciplinary panels are unequipped to handle such serious allegations and that colleges have gone so far to accommodate alleged victims that they are trampling on the rights of the accused.

Jacobson must lose his office

When this Editorial Board last checked in on Hebron Village President John Jacobson, he was shaking down a homeless veterans’ shelter to benefit a town tavern.

Jacobson, who was elected village president in 2013, was willing to hold hostage a shelter grant that was completely unrelated to an ongoing dispute over a water main.

Believe it or not, that pales in compar- For the record ison to Jacobson’s brushes with the law, Jacobson is a man who should including his most not be in office. recent episode.

On Tuesday, Jacobson was arrested on drug and firearms charges after police found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition in his home after a March 17 incident in which 911 was called after he was not breathing and beginning to turn blue. The two most serious charges Jacobson faces – unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm without a requisite firearms owner identification card – are felonies.

Jacobson’s other incidents are well-documented: • In July 2014, Jacobson entered a plea of no contest to an amended charge of reckless driving to resolve a drunken driving case in Wisconsin.

• The drunken driving charge came while he was on probation in McHenry County after pleading down a felony crack cocaine possession charge to a misdemeanor in 2013. The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office decided not to pursue an additional sentence for violating his probation.

• The crack cocaine charge came in 2013 during Jacobson’s village president campaign. He was pulled over with what police said was about 3 grams of crack cocaine in his car. While the charges were still unresolved, Jacobson won election with 61 percent of the village’s vote.

Jacobson is a man who should not be in office.

Unfortunately, Hebron voters elected him despite pending crack cocaine charges. Regardless, Jacobson must go.

The right thing for him to do is to resign. If he refuses to resign, no plea deal the state’s attorney’s office entertains should be accepted without an agreement that Jacobson resigns. Otherwise, the state’s attorney’s office should vigorously work to convict on the felony charges.

A felony conviction would boot Jacobson from office.

If all else fails, voters in Hebron will have the opportunity to elect a new village president next year. Here’s hoping somebody responsible in Hebron steps up and fills the leadership void their village clearly lacks.

Obama hits a home run with Cuba speech Hours before taking in an exhibition baseball game in Havana between a Cuban team and the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, President Barack Obama hit a home run of his own with a soaring address to the Cuban people.

“I have come to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas,” the president declared in an address that hit all the right notes. “A policy of isolation designed for the Cold War made little sense in the 21st century.”

His speech contained the clearest rationale the president has offered yet for his new policy, and he brought it home by reciting a civic credo that holds special meaning for Cubans who have been denied liberty for more than half a century.

“I believe citizens should be free to speak their mind without fear – to organize, and to criticize their government, and to protest peacefully, and that the rule of law should not include arbitrary detentions of people who

exercise those rights. I believe that every person should have the freedom to practice their faith peacefully and publicly.

And, yes, I believe voters should be able to choose their governments in free and democratic elections.”

These are words the Cuban people needed to hear. It must have induced heartburn in Raúl Castro, sitting only a few feet away, to hear an American president standing on a privileged stage in Havana declare that “human rights are universal” and that democracy is the way to solve the problems of society.

Those words would be deemed seditious if said aloud by the average Cuban. Some of those political prisoners that Cuba doesn’t have – if one were to believe its president – were locked up for saying much the same.

The assault on the dissidents known as the Ladies in White on Sunday was a stark reminder the old order still prevails. Castro and his aging hierarchy still call

the shots, and they’re prepared to maintain their grip on power by whatever means necessary.

No American policy in half a century has managed to change the authoritarian nature of the Cuban regime, nor is Mr. Obama’s diplomatic initiative likely to have an overnight impact. But it already has changed the discourse between Cuba and the U.S. The core of Mr. Obama’s message was if Cubans control their destiny, their future can be better than their past. Change comes slowly in Cuba and – as the Ladies in White can attest – painfully, but it begins by believing in the possibility and dispelling the Castros’ myth the U.S. is the enemy of the Cuban people.

Cuba and the U.S. have been a presence in each other’s history since long before Fidel Castro burst onto the scene, and they will be again.

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 Miami Herald

VIEWS Jonathan Bernstein ly more than half of the delegates at stake, but Arizona was projected as a very good state for him, and there was at least a decent chance he could have taken a few delegates in Utah (by holding Cruz under 50 percent, which would have allowed some proportional allocation of delegates) or, for that matter, in American Samoa.

Looking at David Wasserman’s delegate targets at FiveThirtyEight, Trump fell another 12 delegates below the level where Wasserman believes the reality TV star should be to get on track for 1,237 delegates and the nomination. That brings Trump, overall, to 35 delegates short of the projected pace. He does have plenty of opportunities to narrow that gap, beginning with the possibility of a big victory in Wisconsin on April 5.

Trump did gain a bit of ground on Cruz, making it a bit more likely Trump will have the most delegates after the final primaries June 7.

And yet, Cruz’s big win in Utah could be meaningful. Here are the list of Republican presidential candidates who have reached 50 percent of the

vote in one or more states in open nomination contests (that is, without an incumbent president) beginning in 1980: 2016: Ted Cruz (2); Marco Rubio (1); 2012: Mitt Romney (more than 10); Rick Santorum (1, plus a nonbinding “beauty contest” primary); 2008: John McCain (more than 10); Mitt Romney (6); Mike Huckabee (3); 2000: George W. Bush (more than 10); John McCain (6); 1996: Bob Dole (more than 10); 1988: George H.W. Bush (more than 10); Bob Dole (2); Pat Robertson (1); 1980: Ronald Reagan (more than 10); George H.W. Bush (4).

Trump came close but fell short in Arizona. Yes, it is in some senses a meaningless statistic, dependent on how many candidates are running and how many of those are contesting various states. And it’s possible Trump will just romp the rest of the way, hitting 50 percent in most of the 20 remaining states.

He hasn’t shown that he can do it, however, and it’s quite remarkable the clear vote and delegate leader can’t crack 50 percent of the vote anywhere so far.

One more major theme of Tuesday’s events was early voting. A lot of Republicans voted early in Arizona, and a lot of them were Marco Rubio

supporters – in fact, more than 18 percent of the vote went to Rubio and others who had dropped out by the time of the actual primary day.

In most elections, I have no objection to early voting. Sure, someone who votes in the general election in mid-October might miss out on information that only comes to light in late October, but most voters, early or not, don’t actually decide based on the kind of information that can be late-breaking.

And yet: The presidential nomination process is a sequential system, in which states take turns over a multimonth primary and caucus season and in which the results of previous events can change the playing field.

Most notably, candidates drop out.

And that’s not all.

The sequential system dictates candidates and their campaigns move from one state to the next, meaning Arizona voters who voted a month ago did so largely without experiencing much of a campaign in their own state.

Basically, a sequential primary system along with significant early voting just doesn’t make much sense.

Why Trump is winning: Supporters think America failing whites

By GREG SARGENT

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump continued stomping toward the GOP nomination with a big win in Arizona on Tuesday night, which will stir more anxiety among GOP elites who worry his strategy of courting white backlash could drive away minority voters, helping unleash an electoral bloodbath up and down the ticket.

Paul Ryan gave a speech Wednesday decrying the “tone” in our politics that likely will hint at criticism of Trump along these lines, but what if Trump’s efforts to court white backlash constitute one of the essential ingredients of his success among Republican voters?

A new analysis of Washington Post/ABC News polling strongly suggests this may be the case. A Post/ ABC national poll this month asked: “Which of these do you think is a bigger problem in this country – blacks and Hispanics losing out because

of preferences for whites, or whites losing out because of preferences for blacks and Hispanics?”

A large plurality of Republican respondents nationally say that the bigger problem is whites losing out, by 45-19. I asked Washington Post polling guru Scott Clement to break these numbers down among supporters of Trump and the other candidates, and it turns out Trump supporters believe this in far larger percentages.

A majority of Trump supporters – 54 percent – believe the bigger problem is whites are losing out.

Meanwhile, 37 percent of Trump’s supporters believe this strongly, again higher than among any other candidate’s supporters.

To be clear, correlation does not necessarily mean causation, and this is only one of many potential factors explaining Trump’s support.

As Clement and Max Ehrenfreund write for The Washington Post, the poll also found Trump supporters are more likely to say they are struggling

economically. But as they explain, when you take these economic findings along with the above views on the racial question, it suggests Trump supporters tend to believe their “losses are being caused by other group’s gains.”

This is borne out by some anecdotal evidence, too. The Atlantic’s Molly Ball recently talked to dozens of Trump supporters and concluded many of them are driven by what she characterized as “the idea that they, the others, enjoy privileges, resources, and status to which we are denied access.” Ball concluded support for Trump is rooted in “a form of racial resentment based on historic white entitlement and a backlash to the upsurge in leftist identity politics that has marked American politics in the age of Obama,” and in the idea Trump will essentially empower his supporters again.

As Brian Beutler has pointed out, those seeking to account for the Trump phenomenon have regularly

downplayed the degree to which raw white identity politics may be fueling his rise, euphemistically rooting his success mainly in “economic anxiety,” with little regard for the appeal that his rank xenophobia and bigotry may hold for many Republican voters. The numbers above suggest both of these may be two sides of the same coin, and that the tarnished underside of the coin shouldn’t be neglected.

The broader point here is if this account has some validity to it, Trump simply will laugh and shrug when GOP leaders such as Ryan issue their noble calls for a more elevated campaign tone. After all, such lofty appeals may prove as weak as straw in the face of the darker forces Trump is tapping into among some segments of the GOP electorate.

As long as Trump has an incentive to stick to his white-backlash strategy, it is that much more likely he will keep up with the wretched antics that risk driving minorities and young voters further away from the GOP.

Tuesday was a good day for Hillary Clinton, even though her delegate lead is a bit smaller. Donald Trump’s lead is a bit larger, which made Tuesday a little disappointing. Delegate math is weird. Here are the details.

Bernie Sanders won landslides in the Utah and Idaho caucuses; Clinton’s solid win in the Arizona primary wasn’t enough, this time, to give her a delegate victory on the day.

Nevertheless, Sanders did nothing to change the situation: He can’t win primaries in large, ethnically diverse states, and if he can’t do that, he can’t come close to the nomination.

There’s essentially nothing Sanders has done to this point to give him even a hint of a chance of catching up in pledged delegates, or of eating into Clinton’s decisive lead in superdelegates. The only question remaining is how long Sanders will stay in, and whether he can find a way to do something constructive with the enthusiasm he has generated.

Trump won solidly in winner-takeall Arizona, but Ted Cruz had an even larger win in Utah – with more than 50 percent of the vote, he takes all of the delegates there. That gave Trump 58 for the day, and Cruz 40, plus 9 uncommitted delegates from American Samoa.

Trump, therefore, did take slight-

Consumer tablet is dying; long live the business tablet

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Tablets might never again be the consumer sensation they once were, but they are finding new life among professionals.

Apple took aim at that market in announcing a second iPad Pro model this week. Samsung started selling the Windows-based Galaxy TabPro S last week, while Microsoft doubled down on its Surface tablet business last fall with Surface Book, a laptop whose keyboard pops off to leave behind a tablet. Google has its own using Android, the Pixel C. Unlike early models, these tablets are meant to be used with a physical keyboard and a stylus. That makes them appealing to people looking to get stuff done, whether that’s typing a report or drawing on a graphics app.

“It’s no secret the tablet business has slowed down overall except in places where there’s productivity,” says Gary Riding, a senior vice president for mobile computing marketing at Samsung. (“Productivity,” in this case, being jargon for work as opposed to play.)

These new devices also have higher price tags. Many sell for almost $1,000, or even more with accessories. Companies market them as PC replacements rather than devices for watching video, reading books and playing games – that is, things you can already do with your phone.

The Surface Pro 3 is “much thinner than a laptop, and when you have the case with the keyboard, it’s essentially a laptop,” says Ryan Hastman, who now leaves his Mac laptop behind while traveling to raise money for the University of Alberta in Canada.

Tablet shipments fell 10 percent to 207 million worldwide last year and are projected to fall another 6 percent this year, according to IDC. But one subset – tablets with detachable keyboards – more than doubled to 17 million last year. It’s projected to grow to 64 million in 2020 and represent 30 percent of the overall tablet market, rather than 8 percent now.

“It’s not all doom and gloom,” IDC analyst Jitesh Ubrani said. “Microsoft’s done a very good job at marketing detachables. Everyone’s now jumping on that bandwagon.”

In a sense, Apple was a victim of its own success after the iPad’s debut in 2010. Tablets took off with consumers who found

them appealing replacements for home laptops. But people haven’t replaced them as often as phones. And as phones got bigger, some people began wondering whether they needed a tablet at all.

Enter Microsoft, long the king of “productivity” software, which in 2012 designed a tablet that ran Windows and targeted professionals. The Microsoft Surface didn’t have the fun apps that iPads and Android tablets had, but it had Word, Excel and other Office apps long before entertainment-oriented devices did. It also has a USB port and other features missing in most tablets.

It took Microsoft two years to get it right, however. The Pro 3 in 2014 was the first Surface with a fully adjustable kickstand that mimicked the flexibility of laptop screens.

And last fall’s models were the first Surface devices with Windows 10, which mirrored traditional PCs much more than the Windows 8 it replaced.

“Everyone wants a tablet, and everyone needs a laptop,” says Brian Hall, Microsoft’s general manager for Surface. “You can have an approach that says people need to buy one of each, or you can have an approach that says there’s a happy medium.”

LAKE IN THE HILLS

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A developer on Tuesday proposed a new upscale sandwich shop in Lake in the Hills that received some objections from village trustees concerned about his plan to include video gaming.

Developer Bryan Sterbenz presented the Committee of the Whole with a lease agreement and plans to start a restaurant called Lucky Penny’s inside Acorn Plaza, 421 N. Randall Road.

Trustee Stephen Harlfinger was among those who supported the proposal.

“I think this establishment, especially where its location is at, would be a little more benefit to those who are not really into the [video gambling bars] Dotty’s scene or Stella’s scene,” Harlfinger said.

Sterbenz said that based on trustees’ feedback, he would likely begin the process of applying for a liquor license. If he secured that, he said trustees could come see what the restaurant looked like before moving forward with the video gaming discussion.

Shaw Media to acquire Elburn, Sugar Grove weekly newspapers

Shaw Media, owner of the Northwest Herald, is acquiring Kaneland Publications Inc., the publisher of the Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald. The deal is expected to close the first week of April, the two companies announced Tuesday.

According to Shaw Media Vice President J. Tom Shaw, the acquisition is part of Shaw Media’s strategy to expand its weekly newspaper network in suburban Chicago.

Last June, Shaw acquired weekly newspapers in the suburban communities of

Oswego, Yorkville, Plano and Sandwich. In October 2012, Shaw acquired 22 suburban Chicago weekly publications from GateHouse Media.

With the addition of the Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald, Shaw will publish 31 weekly newspapers in the Chicago suburbs, as well as dailies in DeKalb, McHenry and Will counties.

Starbucks to offer prepaid cards to boost rewards The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Starbucks said Wednesday it will introduce a prepaid card by the end of the year that lets people earn points for its rewards program.

The Seattle-based company plans to offer the card through Chase and said people would be able to use it wherever Visa is accepted.

It’s the latest move by Starbucks Corp. to convince people to sign up for its loyalty program by giving them more ways to earn reward “stars” outside of its cafes.

The company also previously announced deals that entail selling its stars to The New York Times, Spotify and Lyft.

Those companies would then distribute the stars as incentives to their own customers, Starbucks has said.

Starbucks said it already has more than 12 million active members for its loyalty program in the U.S., and that people who sign up tend to spend more.

Last month, Starbucks announced

an overhaul of its rewards program that hinted at plans to further expand the universe for its stars.

Previously, people earned a star for each visit, and got a free drink or food item after 12 visits.

Starting April 12, people will earn two stars for every dollar they spend, and get a free drink or food item after earning 125 stars.

By diminishing the unit value of a star, Starbucks Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ryan has said the company would have more flexibility to award stars for “very small transactions.”

Kevin Johnson, chief operating officer for Starbucks, said people would not earn stars on the company’s prepaid card at the same rate that they do for purchases at cafes.

He said the rate of rewards for the prepaid card would be announced at a later date.

A representative for Chase said the Starbucks prepaid card will not have a

monthly service or reloading fee that often come with prepaid cards.

Chase said the card will have just three fees; a $5 fee for a rush card replacement, a 3 percent foreign transaction fee, and a $75 legal processing fee, which would be triggered if the bank was required to hold or pay out funds from the account as a result of a legal action.

Chase declined to disclose the terms of its financial arrangement with Starbucks for the prepaid card, but noted it has a “larger strategic partnership” with the coffee chain.

Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com, said prepaid cards have been known in the past for having a variety of fees, but that the landscape has “changed dramatically for the better” for consumers.

He said the biggest market for the cards still is people without bank accounts, but that families also use prepaid cards as a way to control spending on vacations, or to give to their children.

concept, saying she wanted to see more family-friendly developments.

“I think it really is a video gaming place where you offer sandwiches,” Yensen said. “That’s the bottom line.

I don’t see anything other than sandwiches, beer, wine and chips.”

Sterbenz said food and beverage sales would make up 60 percent of the restaurant’s revenue and gaming would produce the other 40. He said not having video gaming would likely be a deal breaker for the business.

“We’re trying to get white collar and the blue collar,” Sterbenz said. “There are different price points.”

The group behind the idea also is preparing to open Lucky Bernie’s in Woodstock, Sterbenz said, and operates a location in McHenry.

Trustees generally were receptive to the concept, although several raised questions about whether video gaming would be necessary for the restaurant. Trustee Paula Yensen was the only trustee who openly objected to the

This undated image released by Stratford Festival shows Deborah Hay as Katherina with members of the company during a performance of “The Taming of the Shrew,” in Ontario, Canada. The Stratford Festival this year will commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death by broadcasting three more of the Bard’s work in HD.

Stratford Festival to broadcast its ‘Hamlet’ this summer NEW YORK – The Stratford Festival in Canada will this year commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death by broadcasting three more of the Bard’s work in HD, including its “Hamlet.”

The Ontario-based festival is attempting to broadcast the complete works of Shakespeare around the world over the next 10 years. It will kick off the next block of shows with “Hamlet” starring Jonathan Goad on April 24, “The Adventures of Pericles” beginning May 8 and “The Taming of the Shrew” beginning May 29. The broadcasts will be available on U.S. screens.

“I think it’s got great balance. ‘Hamlet’ is the seminal title in terms of the oeuvre. Then you’ve got a great comedy like ‘The Shrew,’ and then a romance. So it has nice balance in terms of Shakespeare’s work,” said festival artistic director Antoni Cimolino, who also directed “Hamlet.”

The unprecedented effort started last year with productions of “King Lear,” “King John” and “Antony and Cleopatra.” The live cinema event company SpectiCast Entertainment is helping distribute The Bard’s canon.

The comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” stars Deborah Hay and Ben Carlson and is directed by Chris Abraham. “The Adventures of Pericles” stars Evan Buliung and is directed by Scott Wentworth. The staged versions were recorded on HD film using 10 cameras and 128 tracks of sound.

“We’ve gotten a lot better at doing this in the last couple of years. We had a lot to learn,” said Cimolino, citing things like makeup for HD, the need for close-ups on camera and details such as how costumes move.

CHICAGO – Radiohead, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and LCD Soundsystem are among the acts that will play in Chicago for the 25th anniversary of the Lollapalooza music festival.

The lineup was released early Wednesday on Lollapalooza’s website. It also includes Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell’s band Jane’s Addiction.

The festival will start Thursday, July 28, and run through Sunday, July 31. Organizers added a fourth day this year to mark the anniversary. There will be more than 170 musical performances.

Farrell started Lollapalooza in 1991, which was a tour until 1997. It was on hiatus from 1998 to 2003, and the 2004 event was canceled because of poor ticket sales. In 2005, it found a home in Chicago’s Grant Park.

Stapleton, Ballerini pick up ACM newcomer wins NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Grammy-winning country singer Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini and country band Old Dominion have picked up their first awards from the Academy of Country Music.

Stapleton won new male artist of the year, Ballerini won new female artist of the year and Old Dominion won new duo/ group of the year for the upcoming 51st

ACM Awards, to be presented April 3 in Las Vegas, it was announced Wednesday.

All three performers could pick up additional awards during the show, which will air on CBS. Stapleton is the leading nominee with six other nominations, including album of the year and male vocalist of the year. Ballerini also is nominated for female vocalist of the year, and Old Dominion also is nominated for vocal group of the year.

Assault charges to be dropped if actress behaves

NEW YORK – Assault charges will be dismissed against an “Orange is the New Black” star if she stays out of trouble for six months.

The 33-year-old Dascha Polanco was accused of assaulting a 17-year-old girl inside Polanco’s upper Manhattan apartment last summer.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office said prosecutors consulted the teenager, Michelle Cardona, who is now 18, before offering Polanco the deal.

Polanco denied the assault allegation, and her lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, called the accusation an extortion attempt.

Lefcourt said Polanco is “delighted” to be able to put the matter behind her.

Polanco plays inmate Dayonara Diaz on Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.”

She also played the title character’s best friend in the movie “Joy,” starring Jennifer Lawrence.

SECAUCUS, N.J. – When the lights come on, the scene in front of you isn’t pretty: There’s a gagged woman handcuffed to a wall, a TV on at full volume and a guy lying on a couch with a gaping belly wound.

Such is the troubling landscape that greets audience members at the beginning of the touring immersive show recreating the chilling world of “The Walking Dead,” in which the world has been plagued by a zombie apocalypse.

The horror drama series on AMC is one of the most popular shows on television.

Visitors make their way through the 10,000-square-foot attraction – six sets built into tractor trailers, plus various tents – as either a postapocalyptic survivor or, after a quick makeup session, an undead zombie.

If you go in as a human, the handcuffed woman – she’s the one moaning “They’re going to kill me!” – needs to be ungagged. Then she’ll give you some more unsettling news: The key to her handcuffs was swallowed by the gentleman on the couch. The one with the hole in his gut.

part.

“It’s all these effects that are highly designed, very specific, very produced that ultimately create this totally immersive, totally transportive experience where you’re in the world of ‘The Walking Dead,’” says Counts.

“The Walking Dead Experience – Chapter One” is set the night that the zombie apocalypse starts. It’s backed by the fan-driven Walker Stalker Con and Skybound Entertainment, the company led by “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman.

It’s traveling the country in three tractor trailers and is part of both the Walker Stalkers tour and the Heroes & Villains Fan Fest. It’s currently in Salt Lake City and will make stops in April in Denver and Nashville, Tennessee; Chicago in May; Charlotte, North Carolina, in June; Boston and Secaucus, New Jersey, in July; San Jose, California, in August; Philadelphia and Atlanta in October; Atlanta again in November; and Edison, New Jersey, in December.

Walker Stalker Con, the second largest fan convention in North America, plans 16 events across America, a meet-up in London in February and a cruise to the Bahamas.

30 Diabetes treatment protocol changes Dear Dr. K: In a recent column you said doctors are not trying to lower blood sugar as much as they used to in people with diabetes.

My husband’s doctor always tells him “lower is better” when it comes to his blood sugar.

Can you explain?

Dear Reader: When I was in medical school, and for many years thereafter, “lower is better” was what doctors believed. We knew people with diabetes could develop severe, even fatal, complications if their blood sugar got very high. Plus, we had powerful blood-sugar-lowering treatments available.

On the other hand, there was a limit to “lower is better.” Too much of a good thing could be a bad thing: Overtreatment could push blood sugars too low – dangerously low.

Sustained very low blood sugar can produce confusion, coma and death. So we measured blood sugars frequently, with the goal of having blood sugar as low as it could go without causing bothersome symptoms.

That was the goal because studies many years ago had shown such “intensive treatment” reduced some types of complications of diabetes. Doctors speak of two types of complications of diabetes, both involving blood vessels. The first is disease of small blood vessels (called microvascular complications), which affects the eyes, kidneys and nerves. The second is disease of the large blood vessels (called macrovascular complications), which causes heart disease, strokes and peripheral artery disease.

An analysis of randomized trials involving almost 35,000 people with diabetes found intensive treatment had a benefit: It led to a more than 10 percent reduction in small blood vessel complications.

Most doctors assumed if intensive treatment lowered small blood vessel complications, it also would lower large blood vessel complications. However, over the past 40 years, the evidence has been quite mixed.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Many studies show people with higher blood sugars are more likely to have large blood vessel complications, such as heart attacks and strokes. So you might think intensive lowering of blood sugar would reduce the rates of large blood vessel complications.

But that’s not necessarily true.

The way to see if it is true is through large, randomized trials. In these studies, some people with diabetes (chosen at random) were given intensive treatment that kept their blood sugars very low. Others were treated less intensively and had higher blood sugars. These studies all have abbreviated names. The best known are VADT, ACCORD and ADVANCE. Unfortunately, these trials did not demonstrate a benefit from intensive treatment compared to less intensive treatment. And more patients in the intensive treatment group have suffered from the complications of blood sugar that is too low. Worst of all, in one of the studies (ACCORD), the rates of premature death from heart disease and from all causes were higher in the intensive treatment group. Too much of a good thing might have been fatal. One possible reason is the low blood sugar may have triggered a dangerous heart rhythm.

So, while lowering blood sugar with treatment definitely improves health, there are limits. Today, I and many other doctors do not treat blood sugar as intensively as we used to.

LACROSSE PREVIEW

Something to prove

Huntley aims to dent Cary-Grove’s dominance

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Huntley’s mantra heading into the 2016 season is “It’s our time,” coach Dom Saccomanno said.

After finishing runner-up in the Fox Valley Conference to Cary-Grove last year, the Red Raiders are now coached by Saccomanno, a former Cary-Grove assistant, and looking to knock off the area’s perennial power.

“They’ve been dominating the conference and not even by a close margin,” Saccomanno said. “... Huntley has been second rate to Cary-Grove every year; it’s always been that way. So this is the year we wanted to prove what we can do.”

On the first night of the season, the Red Raiders took a big step in that direction, beating the Trojans, 9-8, Thursday at Huntley.

“If we can beat them, that’s our main concern,” Huntley senior Collin Fischer said afterward. “And then Jacobs and all the other conference teams we’ve beat and we know who they are and who they’ve got and we can beat them. But that [CaryGrove] was our main competition, since we got past them I think we can get conference and go as far in playoffs and hopefully get somewhere.”

Huntley is led by Fischer, the returning leading scorer who was a first-team all-conference selection. He scored 44 goals and assisted on 25 last year as Huntley finished second in the FVC and won a playoff game.

James Huber is a returning second-team all-conference selection. They combined for seven goals Thursday against Cary-Grove.

Saccomanno also had high praise for senior Griffin Kopp, junior Jonny Ambrogio and freshman Max Greco.

“Once we start fine-tuning all the phases of the game, I think with the roster that we have we’re good to make a deep push this year,” Saccomanno said.

In recent years, Cary-Grove has been the local team making the deepest runs into the Illinois High School Lacrosse Association B-Class playoffs, advancing to the semifinals last year.

But with the Trojans losing three top-scoring seniors and coach Brendan Gorman taking another job, things are more up in the air.

New coach Chris Kochajkiewicz said he has a good relationship with Gorman and they’ve been in touch about the team.

“Just want to keep it rolling and keep that reputation strong with Cary-Grove,” Kochajkiewicz said.

The Trojans are anchored at the back by senior goalie Dylan Cost, a four-year var-

sity player. Their top returning scorer is junior Tommy Martin, who scored 44 goals and was a first-team all-conference pick last year. Senior Joe Monfeli is a quick, tough midfielder and senior Keith McCowan is expected to lead the defense.

“Our strength is the senior leadership,” Kochajkiewicz said. “We have a lot of seniors who have come through the program the last four years, this is kind of their year. It is kind of a transition year with the coaching change.”

After Thursday’s loss, the first to a conference opponent since 2012, Kochajkiewicz said, “I told them we have 15 games left in our season. Didn’t get it done here, it sucks, we’ll use it and we’ll get better for the next one.”

Behind Cary-Grove and Huntley, the next tier of FVC competitors includes Jacobs and Crystal Lake South – teams that won playoff games last year – as well as a Prairie Ridge team that has already won more than it did in the past two seasons.

This year also brings the addition of girls varsity lacrosse to the area with Huntley fielding a varsity team for the first time. Also as the sport continues to grow, McHenry and a Hampshire co-op team (made up of players from Hampshire, Jacobs and Dundee-Crown) will compete at the JV level for girls.

Dylan Cost, Cary-Grove, Sr. GK A two-time first-team all-conference pick, Cost enters his fourth season with the Trojans’ varsity squad.

Last season, he finished fourth among IHSLA saves leaders with 156.

Tommy Martin, Cary-Grove, Sr. Mid. The Trojans lost their top three scorers, meaning Martin will have to take on more responsibility after a strong season last year when he was fourth in scoring with 44 goals and 13 assists. He was a first-team all-conference selection last season.

Evan Schwarz, Jacobs, Sr. A Schwarz scored 22 goals and 31 assists last year as a junior and was named second-team all-conference.

He will need to do even more this year after the Golden Eagles lost their top scorer to graduation.

Christina Meyer, Huntley, Sr. M Meyer will be one of Huntley’s leaders as they begin varsity play. Meyer is the Red Raiders’ top returning scorer after she scored 33 goals and contributed 18 assists at the JV level last year.

Lacrosse preview capsules

Crystal Lake Central Coach: Kerry Murphy (third season) Last year: 2-11, 2-4 FVC; lost first-round playoff game Top returners: John Stroud, Sr., G; Peyton Wood, Sr., D; Jake Anderson, Sr., M Noteworthy: “This year, we have a very young team with a lot of new players. Our goal is to grow as a program each year,” Murphy said. “With the kids at CLC becoming increasingly involved in lacrosse, we are seeing a variety of athletes joining the team who we hope will contribute to future success of our program.” The Central alum said their goal is to finish .500 this season. The Tigers lost their opener, 8-2, to Conant.

Crystal Lake South Coach: Jordan Klinsky (secnd season) Last year: 6-10, 3-3 FVC; lost in second round of playoffs Top returners: Mason Howard, Billy Rotermund, Corey Sheehan, Trey McGinn, Mark Smith, Nate Olsen, Andy Weber and Max Klinsky Noteworthy: The Gators graduated a small class, but lost their two best players – and two of the area’s best – in Sam Klinsky and Jason Van Dyck who both went on to play college lacrosse. After

Dundee-Crown Coach: William Petersen and Shaun Gosselin (first year) Last year: JV only Top returners: Ryan Mountain, G; Johnathon Reese, M; Ryan Thompson, M; Santo Voiculescu, M; Jack Stratton, M; Aaron Corona, A. Noteworthy: The Chargers didn’t compete at the varsity level last year and Petersen said, “This year is mostly about getting our team up to speed and used to play at the varsity level. We’re hoping to make steady improvement throughout the year and get better with every game.

Most teams on our schedule we’ll play two times and are hoping that by the second time, we’ll be able to play them very competitively.”

Hampshire Coach: Colin Fleury Last year: JV only club Top returners: Dolton Collins, Sr., A; Logan Fleury, Sr., M; Jared Lund, Sr., M; John Shively, Sr., M; Cooper Gross, Jr., A; Cameron Fleury, So., A; Allen Schane, Sr., D; Phil Wilkins, Sr., D/M; Steven Brill, Sr., G. Key newcomers: Jackson Cosgriff, Fr., M; Zachary Slaten, Fr., A; Noteworthy: The Whip-Purs make the jump to the varsity level but feel well-prepared for the move with a strong returning core of players. “We have some great athletes,” coach Colin Fleury said. “My midfielders are really fast, they’re really good athletes, they’ve got good heads about them. There’s not many people that can keep up with them. They get the ball, they’re off, there’s not a lot of people that can catch them. That’s one of our biggest strengths, we’ve got a lot of athleticism.”

They started the season by winning their first two varisty conference games on back-to-back nights.

Huntley Coach: Dom Saccomanno (first season) Last year: 11-5, 4-1 FVC; lost in second round of playoffs Top returners: Collin Fischer, Sr. A; Griffin Kopp, Sr. M; James Huber, Sr. A; Johnny Abmrogio, Jr. M. Key newcomers: Max Greco, Fr. M; Sam De La Paz, So. Noteworthy: The Red Raiders have 12 returning players in Saccomanno’s first

season at the helm. They started with a bang, beating Cary-Grove Thursday, their first win over the Trojans since 2012.

“Honestly, any of our players are up for a big year if they want it,” Saccomanno said. “How hard they are willing to work is the only thing that will slow them down.

We have some hard workers on our team, and they will be the ones to shine in this system of constant motion.”

Jacobs Coach: John Bigler (ninth season) Last year: 11-8 overall, 5-2 FVC; lost in second round of playoffs Top returners: Matt Bertone, Sr., A; Joe Biallas, Sr., M; Ryan Oates, Sr., M; Evan Schwarz, Sr., A Key newcomers: Louis Czech, Jr., M; Andrew Glover, Jr., D; Kyle Gretz, Jr., D; Alec Rainier, Sr., G. Noteworthy: The Golden Eagles lost top scorer and faceoff specialist Brian Ta (92 points last year) to graduation but have a strong group back from a team that won its opening playoff game last season.

“This group has a lot of experience in the program and already plays well together as a unit,” Bigler said. “Our team goal is to compete for the conference crown and play for a high seed in the tournament.

Individually, we want to continue to build a strong program and help our younger players develop.” They fell Tuesday to Prairie Ridge in the opener.

McHenry Coach: Adam Tolan (sixth season) Last year: 5-7 record in JV play Top returners: John Krueger, Sr., A; Derek Hogel, Jr., M Key newcomers: Ryan Strach, Fr. A Noteworthy: The Warriors are competing at the varsity level for the first time this year. Tolan said he is happy with the group he has back and is starting to see more experience players come out who have played with the local youth club. He said their numbers have grown by about 25 percent. The Warriors won their first varsity match Thursday, beating DundeeCrown, 7-2.

Prairie Ridge Coach: Josh Cole (first season) Last year: 0-14; lost in first round of playoffs Top returners: Parker Tomlin, Sr., M; Brendon Ewing, Sr. D; Pat Knochel, Sr., D; Cole Naumovski, Jr., M; Nolan Yager, Jr., M; Cooper Tomlin, So., M; Zack Starks, Jr., A; Jacob Sperling, Jr., A; Matt McDowell, Jr., G Key newcomers: Cory Zordan, So., A;

Nick Pilafas, Sr., M; Brad Kilb, Jr., D; Ethan Kirchberg, Fr., M; Alex Kast, Jr., D/M Noteworthy: Before this season, the Wolves hadn’t won a game since 2013, going 0-24 over the past two seasons.

They have already snapped that streak, winning their first three games of the season. Cole said they should be much more competitive this year with a mature core of juniors, strong senior leadership from captains Ewing, Tomlin and Knochel plus a group of young players who went 15-2 at the JV level last year.

East Suburban Catholic Conference Marian Central Coach: Rick Rewiako (second year) Last year: 4-1 in club play.

Top returners: Payson Wilde, Sr.; Jamie Biewer, Sr.; Noah Meisner, Sr.; Pat Brunken, So.; Jake Potthoff, So.; Mike Hucek, So. Noteworthy: The Hurricanes move up from club play to join the East Suburban Catholic Conference. “This year is an exciting year but challenging one,” Rewiako said. “We are excited to join the Catholic league but know we have several challenges in front of us as we play premier lacrosse schools such as Saint Viator, Benet Academy, Carmel and Notre Dame.” Rewiako said he expects big offensive years from Wilde and Meisner, who scored six and four goals respectively in their first win of the year against Dundee-Crown.

GIRLS CAPSULES IHSWLA Independents Huntley Coach: Tony Nigro (1st season) Last year: 8-3 in JV play Top returners: Christina Meyer, Sr., M; Emily Girard, Sr., A; Gabby Novarro, Jr., M; Katie Zaremski, So., M; Kesely Werner, So., G Key newcomers: Abbey Ryan, Jr., M; Nicole Fischer, So., A Noteworthy: Huntley begins its first season of varsity girls lacrosse with a deep squad. Meyer leads the returning Red Raiders with 33 goals last year while Girard had 26 goals and 22 assists last year. In goal, Werner made 111 saves with a 75 per cent save percentage. “There are a lot of unknowns with regards to how we match up but I feel we have a lot of talent in the midfield and at goalie,” Nigro said. “Our team is young but athletic and if we can control the ball we will be able to compete.

Our program has grown from 18 girls a couple of years ago to 48 this year but we will be facing some very mature programs.”

IHSLA Fox Valley Conference Cary-Grove Coach: Chris Kochajkiewicz (first season) Last year: 14-5, 6-0 FVC; lost in IHSLA state semifinals Top returners: Dylan Cost, Sr., G; Joe Monfeli, Sr., M; Keith McCowan, Sr., D; Tommy Martin, Sr., A Key newcomers: Tyler Forney, Fr., M; Cole Eggebraten, Fr., D/M Noteworthy: The Trojans reached the IHSLA B-class semifinals last season, but lost their top three scorers and their coach from that squad. Senior Tommy Martin was fourth in scoring last year, but will be counted on even more this year.

Senior goalie Dylan Cost is back in net as a captain and while leading defender Keith McGowan is starting the year injured, he is expected to return. The season didn’t start well, however, as Trojans lost their opener against Huntley on Thursday – their first conference loss since 2012. “Our goals for the year are to stick together and battle through adversity as a team, win our conference, be playing our best Lacrosse in May so that we can make another run in the playoffs,” Kochajkiewicz said.

finishing .500 in the conference, hosting and winning a playoff game last year, the Gators have gotten deeper, growing their numbers to 59. They open the season Tuesday at Deerfield.

Really?

The Blackhawks sent a statement on Wednesday afternoon saying that Rockford IceHogs forward Garret Ross was being suspended indefinitely while facing “revenge porn” charges in DeKalb County.

The Blackhawks said they did not become aware of the charges until Saturday afternoon.

High school girls soccer insider ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Emma Dorn, Woodstock, Fr. F The freshman has started her varsity career with six goals in the Blue Streaks’ first five games.

She has recorded two multi-goal games, netting two Monday against Guilford and then grabbing a hat trick Tuesday against Westminster Christian.

POWER RANKINGS 1. Crystal Lake South (3-1): The Gators lost their opener, 1-0, but have won three straight, scoring eight goals. Midfielder Jess Schoenfeldt, also a defensive presence, leads the Gators with three goals.

The Gators are off until April 5 for spring break.

2. Woodstock (3-2): The Blue Streaks started the season with back-to-back losses but have rebounded with three consecutive wins. After being outscored, 8-1, in its first two games, Woodstock has outscored its opponents, 14-1, over the past three. In addition to Dorn’s six goals, Brecken Overly and Jordyn Albrecht each have three. After getting five games in early, the Blue Streaks are off until April 4.

3. Johnsburg (2-0-1, 2-0 BNC East): The Skyhawks tied in their season opener in nonconference action then came back and won their first BNC East game Tuesday with a 4-0 win over Marengo and beat Genoa-Kingston, 5-0, on Tuesday.

4. Crystal Lake Central (1-1): The Tigers

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week

won their opener 3-0 over Grant, getting a pair of goals from Tatyana Gusakow.

Central lost its second match, however, after giving up four second-half goals to Mundelein and letting a lead slip away.

They are next in action April 2 against Marian Central.

5. Prairie Ridge (1-1): The Wolves won their season opener, 3-1, over South Elgin, getting goals from Melissa Bear, Hannah Stovall and Emily Perhats. They lost, 2-0, Tuesday to Crystal Lake South.

NOTEWORTHY Hess sits but nothing serious: Crystal Lake South was without one of its defensive pillars Tuesday against Prairie Ridge, as sophomore Raquel Hess sat out.

An all-conference pick and second-team all-area selection last season as a freshman, Hess is the anchor in the middle of the Gators’ defense. Crystal Lake South Coach Jay Mueller said afterward that the absence wasn’t because of an injury.

“She’s just had an illness that she’s getting over so she’s taking a few days to rest.

She’ll be back soon.”

Prairie Ridge preparing ‘keepers: Despite trailing, 1-0, at halftime Tuesday, Prairie Ridge made a goalkeeper change.

The Wolves took out sophomore starter Savannah Schuler-Winoker, who was the starter for much of last year as a freshman, and replaced her with junior Taylor Golt.

Golt made two saves in the second half and conceded one goal as well. Afterward, coach Andre Watson said they were just using the early-season match as an opportunity to get some live action for the backup.

“She’s had experience in the past being a keeper and we want to make sure that we have more than one keeper on the team and you’ve got to get them playing time if you want them to be ready,” Watson said.

“Because you never know when you’re going to need another goalie. … They both did a great job.”

GAMES TO WATCH Harvard at Marengo, 4:30 p.m. Thursday The two rivals face off for the first time this year in a Big Northern Conference East Division match.

Prairie Ridge at Huntley, 6:30 p.m. Thursday Two teams who finished atop their divisions last year in the Fox Valley Conference meet in an early-season crossover match. Huntley will be looking for its first win of the year after the Red Raiders lost their opener, 1-0 on Tuesday.

BOYS LACROSSE: HAMPSHIRE 9, McHENRY 8 (2OT)

Whip-Purs down Warriors in 2OTs

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com @HHSRaiderslax

Another Tweet “Glax heading south to Metea Valley” – @HHSRaidersLax

What to watch Bulls at New York, 6:30 p.m., CSN The Bulls close out a back-to-back set with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The Bulls are looking to rebound from their 115107 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.

HAMPSHIRE – As sloppy and hectic as Wednesday night’s boys lacrosse game between McHenry and Hampshire was, the wet and wild play produced a dramatic finish.

With rain falling and the light running out, the teams had agreed to go to a running clock and switched to a yellow ball. Ground balls were slogs, cutting attackers sent defenders slipping and passes were tough to string together.

McHenry forced overtime with eight seconds left in regulation after a near-goal by the Whip-Purs at the other end.

Then, in the second overtime period, Hampshire’s Cameron Fleury snuck in

the game-winning goal and was immediately mobbed by teammates, as other threw their sticks in the air or slide on their knees in the mud celebrating the 9-8 conference victory at Hampshire Middle School.

The Whip-Purs have now won their first two varsity games in program history on back-to-back nights.

“Yeah, 2-0, that’s crazy since we’re just into this varsity thing,” Fleury said. “It’s kind of cool to be 2-0 now we just need to keep pushing along, take every game one step at a time and see how it goes.”

Cooper Gross led Hampshire with four goals. Logan Fleury added two while Jared Lund, Cam Fleury and Dolton Collins also scored for the Whip-Purs (2-0, 2-0 FVC).

“It’s going to be hopefully a really

good year,” Gross said. “We have a lot of people committed now, we have a lot of people that are putting in extra effort to get better at lacrosse and it’s going to make a huge impact on the season.”

The Whip-Purs served three penalties in the first overtime, but McHenry didn’t take advantage. In the second overtime, Hampshire made them pay.

“Very hectic,” Gross said of the finish. “Penalties and everything, it’s just very mind-boggling. You don’t know what to do, you just want to win the game at that point.”

The Warriors (1-2, 1-1 FVC) were led by two goals from Derek Hogel and scores from Ryan Strach, Matthew Trocki, Kyle McCleavy, Blake Hartman, Thomas Van Alstine and Jon Kruegar.

Waters have gone back into the 40-degree range and we wait again for warm spring-like days. Some panfish are being caught in the river channels on wax worms or small minnows on a small chicken jig.

Every year, I write a list of recommended guides . I always say there is no better way to learn a body of water than by spending a day in the boat of a professional. Once you learn a body of water, you can go back again and again to catch more fish. The use of a guide is worth the expense. My list of guides has always covered guides who worked on waters within a reasonable drive for most of us.

This year, when I started compiling my list, I felt a sense of sadness because the list is getting shorter and shorter every year.

My go-to guy, Captain Darrell Baker, went up to that big pond in the sky back in 2011. Not every deletion from my list has been at the hands of the Grim Reaper, thankfully. One of my favorites, Carl Kaufmann has walked away from guiding on a regular basis to spend more time on the water with his family.

Captain Mel Christensen has moved away from our area to take up residence up in Door County, Wisconsin. His presence on Delavan and Geneva will be missed.

I haven’t heard from a number of guides for quite a while and when I try to access their websites, I find they have been taken down. These guides include Jeff Hahn, Nick Cammerata and “Musky Phil” Guttman.

The Bulls’ Taj Gibson (22) shoots past the defense of New York Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis (6) during the first half Wednesday at the United Center in Chicago. The Bulls lost, 115-107.

KNICKS 115, BULLS 107

Hoiberg reunites with Iowa State

By HERB GOULD For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Coach Fred Hoiberg enjoyed a get-together Wednesday with the Iowa State team he coached before joining the Bulls.

The Cyclones play Virginia on Friday at the United Center in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.

“It’s really cool,” said Hoiberg, an Iowa State alum from Ames, Iowa, who has been nicknamed “The Mayor” of his hometown since he received write-in votes there. “I told them they’ll have to take care of business because I’ll be in a bar in Orlando watching. I already have my ticket for Sunday to hopefully watch them cut down the nets and go to the Final Four.”

Hoiberg also had some nonbasketball advice.

“I told them to step back and enjoy it,” he said. “That’s one thing I regret.

I did not do that. You have to enjoy it for a moment, and then get the razor-sharp focus they’ll need to win this weekend.”

It’s about energy: With 12 games left in the last 21 days of the regular season, the Bulls have no more backto-back days off. That means they won’t have much practice time to reacquaint players who haven’t been together a lot because of injuries.

“It’s a lot of mental preparation, a

Porzingis ties career high with 29, Knicks top Bulls

CHICAGO – Rookie Kristaps Porzingis tied a career high with 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Carmelo Anthony added 24 points and the New York Knicks beat the Bulls, 115107, on Wednesday night.

In the front end of back-to-back with the Knicks, the Bulls failed to complete a sweep of their four-game homestand and dropped behind the Detroit Pistons in Eastern Conference standings for the eighth and final playoff spot.

Nikola Mirotic scored a career-high 35 points for the Bulls, and Derrick Rose added 21.

– Wire report lot of film work the rest of the way,” Hoiberg said. “Add things on our shootarounds or walkthrough days.

Get them prepared to play. The biggest thing now is you need to be the more energetic team. We had a long talk about that. You talk about the game plan and this is how we’re playing certain actions. But the big thing is playing with more energy than the other team.”

The familiar five: Despite limited practice opportunities, the Bulls believe getting reacquainted on the fly won’t be a big deal. Although Derrick

Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Taj Gibson and Pau Gasol were in the starting lineup together against the Knicks for only the third time this season, they’re a veteran group and have played together in the past. And they believe in each other.

“There’s definitely a sense of confidence,” Dunleavy said, “and a comfort level within that group. We played together quite a bit last season. We know what’s going on. We’re veteran guys. We have a good feel for each other. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get out there healthy together.

When we are, I like our chances.”

Hot Doug: While the Bulls were winning four of five before facing the Knicks, Doug McDermott was putting together quite a shooting streak.

McDermott was 17 for 28 (61 percent) on three-pointers in those five games.

He averaged 19.4 points during that stretch, almost double his 9.8 season scoring average.

“Whenever you’re a shooter, getting off early is definitely important,” said McDermott, who began his hot streak with 29 points March 14 against the Raptors. “I got off to a good start at Toronto, and it’s carried over. I just have to continue to stay aggressive, even if shots aren’t falling, and not dwell on the last shot because shooters are going to miss every once in a while.”

and meeting Wednesday – seen as a sign of his displeasure with the recent downturn.

“I don’t think we can be happy with the way we’re going along here, so we want to make sure we rectify it,” Quenneville said. “Whether we’re angry or how we want to channel it … let’s make sure that [it’s] not acceptable.”

Quenneville seemed to indicate that while the team has struggled before late in the regular season, he felt he needed to get his players’ attention with the Hawks just four points ahead of the Nashville Predators for the No. 3 spot in Western Conference playoffs.

The Predators also have a game in hand.

“We’ve lost a ton of ground, important games and every meaningful four-point games – back-to-back Dallas games [losing 6-2 and 5-2] we didn’t really give ourselves a chance to get any points. So it was a situation – whether it was getting [their] attention, the awareness, the situation we’re in right now – the urgency’s got to be picked up here and it’s across the board.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Avisail Garcia homered, and John Danks pitched six scoreless innings to lead the White Sox to a 6-1 victory Wednesday over the San Diego Padres.

Garcia’s homer was his third of the spring and was the only hit off Drew Pomeranz. Garcia drove in another run in the fifth inning. Garcia has 14 RBIs this spring.

Rangers’ Bush keeps up comeback in win over Cubs

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Former top pick Matt Bush pitched two hitless innings, his latest step for Texas since spending more than three years in prison, and the Rangers beat the Cubs, 5-0, Wednesday.

Bush was the No. 1 overall choice in the 2004 draft by San Diego as a shortstop and never made it above Double-A. In 2012, he was sentenced after pleading no-contest to driving under the influence with serious bodily injury to a motorcyclist. The 30-yearold Bush was released from prison last October.

• Thursday, March 24, 2016

The Blackhawks are trying to work their way out of a funk after an “embarrassing” 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars – their sixth loss in seven games (14-2).

The upcoming four-game western road trip to Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Minnesota could be just what they need, defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. Since acquiring forwards Andrew Ladd, Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff near the trade deadline, the Hawks are 4-5-2.

“I think a road trip is a good way to get the so-called ‘new group’ together,” Hjalmarsson said. “We’ve got a couple of new guys. It’s a good way to get the group together and go on a Canadian road trip. I think it’ll be a good way for us to kind of press the restart button and try to find our way back to our game and the way we know we can play.”

The Hawks often have thrived on their western swings in recent years under Joel Quenneville. And while

this eight-day trip isn’t quite as long as some of the “circus” and “ice show” trips, it’s still a road trip. Regardless, Hjalmarsson knows the Hawks have to find their winning groove.

Like teammates Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews after Tuesday night’s game, Hjalmarsson did not blame the Hawks’ current plight on fatigue – Hjalmarsson has played more regular-season/playoff games (348) in the past four seasons than any player in hockey.

“I personally feel all right,” Hjalmarsson said. “I just think our compete level hasn’t been there. There’s no excuse for that. It doesn’t really matter if you’re tired mentally or physically, you could still compete hard every night – and that goes for myself and my teammates and [it’s] something that we have to do much better.

“The compete level just hasn’t been there the last week. It’s a little embarrassing the way we’ve played here – especially at home in front of our crowd.”

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush and Pace arrived, it does explain clearly why Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman, Brandon Marshall, Jared Allen, Matt Forte, Jermon Bushrod and now Martellus Bennett, among others, have all been invited to leave.

What I found even more refreshing was his candor that more time is needed.

Asked what to expect in Year Two the Bears coach replied, “Well, you like to see that there’s improvement.

I know I mentioned earlier that we got younger. There’re pains that come with that.

“But all the guys who played on the team that we have back from last year to this year are going to hopefully be one year more mature, one year more understanding of what we’re teaching, whether it’s offense, defense or the kicking game. So you hope they make that leap.

“Obviously, you try to improve your team whether it’s in free agency or the draft. And that’s the cycle you

want to get into, which I think gives you a real chance to be competitive and successful.”

One of the newest Bears is Danny Trevathan, who Fox coached in his last stop at Denver. Talking about why he was pleased to work with him again Fox offered some insight into how he views the game itself. “[Trevathan] loves football. This thing we do is a blue-collar job. We kid with them that we don’t pay them to play. Most guys would play for nothing,” Fox said. “But we pay them to practice and prepare. And that’s hard.

It’s very hard. So it takes the right kind of mindset to do that day in and day out at a high level.”

Fox also explained how he hopes to assure continued growth and monitor his team’s progress.

“Basically, the cornerstones of success are hard work and enthusiasm.

And I think sometimes the enthusiasm part gets lost in the shuffle,” he said.

“Just keep it simple, how to progress and get better every day, build a building that can produce that.

“I think that takes a lot of work and a lot of good people. And I’m not talking just about coaches. I’m talking about trainers, talking about equip-

ment men, our strength and conditioning staff, because all their hands are on these players every day. And really creating that environment is important.”

Perhaps most important to Fox is a sense of knowing his players and molding a team.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s not so much just our kind of guys, just getting to know our guys,” he said. “A year ago, I didn’t know our team. Not one guy.

“But you do get to know them every day. You’re with them every day.

Those relationships, even though it’s coach to player, are very important in developing players. We feel way better about it, even just knowing it, forget about acquiring it, knowing the holes and the bumps that we have to smooth out to get better.”

Clearly John Fox is getting comfortable with the Bears now. How far behind the winning is remains to be seen, but the construction work seems to be going according to plan.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Since arriving in Chicago, John Fox has been anything but an easy read or a quick study for Bears fans or the local media.

Rarely has he been as open and in moments even as expansive as he seemed when meeting with a handful of media at the NFL owners meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. Wednesday.

Right out of the box, Fox acknowledged something I haven’t heard him say before – John Fox his team is rebuilding and still is a work in progress.

“I think obviously we had some holes,” he said. “I think [general manager] Ryan [Pace] and his staff did a good job of kind of getting what was probably the oldest roster in football now to where we’re probably in the top three youngest, if not the youngest.

“And I think that’s something where sometimes you take some steps back to take some steps forward.”

While that answer was not to a question about all the veteran talent that has been sent packing since Fox

Chairman McCaskey pleased with ‘energy’ had changed at all with the arrival of Pace and Fox and he said, “It’s the same. He’s the CEO of the company.

preferred the background and trusted her sons to take the lead.

But I was curious how her fellow owners react to the NFL’s last direct connection to a founding father.

George answered with a knowing smile and said, “I would say with reverence and with respect. She doesn’t sit in the meeting rooms. But she’s present. She’s around.

“I understand that in the family program, she was acknowledged by Jane Goodell for her contributions to the league over the years. And she got a nice reception from the families.

It’s fun to watch people approaching her and expressing their appreciation to her for what she’s done for the league.”

There was one last question from a fellow scribe for George with whom so many of us share another particular passion, Cubs fever?

“This is the year! I’m looking forward to 2016,” he said. “Opening day April 4. Home opener April 11. Go Cubs!”

BOCA RATON, Fla. – George McCaskey is not your typical NFL owner.

Granted, he is a minority shareholder, believed to own an equal share to his Mom’s and 10 brothers and sisters of the 80 percent of the team the family owns.

But in addition to being an owner, he is the Chairman of the Board with the ultimate say over the operations of the team, not to mention he is the grandson of George Halas and thus clearly recognized as one of the NFL’s “32 team owners.”

But unlike his peers, almost all of them George seeming to be followed McCaskey by an entourage and dripping money almost everywhere they go, McCaskey can be found roaming the halls of the Boca Raton Resort and Club where the NFL owners meetings were being held this week by himself, very much resembling everyman – easily accessible, warm and welcoming.

The Bears owner is feeling pretty good these days about the regime change he oversaw a year ago, installing Ryan Pace as the youngest general manager in the NFL and the veteran

REVIEWS

Zoe Nadal plays Maria (left), and Will Skrip is Tony in “West Side Story,” playing through April 24 at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora.

Paul Lockwood

It’s been almost 60 years since “West Side Story” came to Broadway, receiving six Tony Award nominations. With music

by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents – and inspired by Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” – it ran for 732 performances and starred Carol Lawrence as Maria, Larry Kert as Tony and the amazing Chita Rivera as Anita. It must have been a sight to behold.

Well, there’s no time machine to take us back to Broadway in 1957, but if you want to see a Broadway-quality production of this American classic, hurry to the Paramount Theatre in Aurora. You’ll be stunned at what Jefferson Award-winning director Jim Corti, his staff, a 19-piece orchestra and 32 actors have created. Corti’s production of “Les Miserables” won the Jeff Award for Best Musical last season; coming on the heels of an excellent production of “Hairspray” earlier this year, the Paramount may have to make more room in its trophy case.

“West Side Story” is set in New York City’s Upper West Side in the late ’50s, and we get to experience anew the tragic love story of Maria (Zoe Nadal) and Tony (Will Skrip). Maria’s brother Bernardo (Alexander Aguilar) leads the Puerto Rican street gang, the Sharks; Tony’s best friend Riff (Jeff Smith) leads the Caucasian gang, the Jets.

Maria and Tony are sensitive but strong with angry, dangerous relatives and friends who whip out a switchblade as quickly as they would a comb. When Tony and Maria first meet at a school dance, it’s not just the excellent lighting effects that shine a spotlight on our heroine and hero, but also the quality of the acting and Skrip and Nadal’s clear, beautiful, strong tenor and soprano voices. They successfully made me believe these two could fall so hard and so quickly for each other.

The optimism of Tony’s first solo, “Something’s Coming,” which he sings before meeting the beautiful Maria, is an early highlight. We fear, however, this optimism is going to be countered with a heavy dose of harsh reality before the show is over. In the meantime, we get a lovely romantic duet, “Tonight,” sung initially by just Skrip and Nadal as they explore the joy of new love, but later performed as a quintet of conflicting expectations by Skrip, Nadal, the Sharks, the Jets and Anita (Mary Antonini), Maria’s best friend and fellow bridal shop employee.

All five individuals/groups have their reasons for anticipation and excitement.

Anita, for example, is passionate about Bernardo, her hot-blooded boyfriend.

“WEST SIDE STORY” WHEN: Through April 24 WHERE: Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora COST & INFO: Tickets start at $87 a person. For showtimes, tickets and information, visit www.aurora-theater.com.

This combination of characters is a pressure cooker ready to blow its lid.

Why drive to Aurora to see a show you may have seen at a high school or community theater production, or in the Robert Wise–directed, Academy Award–winning movie? Several reasons: • William Carlos Angulo is making his choreographic debut, and it’s an auspicious beginning. There’s nonstop movement in many of the songs, and nobody misses a step or an acrobatic leap.

• The performances of several actors remained in my head days later – not just Skrip and Nadal, but also Antonini, who holds her own against Nadal in the powerful duet “A Boy Like That/I Have a Love” and in a later pivotal scene at the drugstore. And Tom McElroy as Doc, who loves his drugstore employee Tony as if he were his own son, makes a memorable impression as a good-hearted adult unafraid to speak up and speak out.

• The songs all merit loud applause, not just because they’re familiar tunes (“America,” “I Feel Pretty,” “Somewhere” and “Tonight”), but because they’re performed with humor, emotion and sincerity.

• The set, including a high metal platform suspended above the stage, is full of steel and shadows, reinforcing the idea many of these characters don’t have a blue-sky present or future.

For those with young children, be advised there is staged violence, including an assault against a female character, and that – as in “Romeo and Juliet” – not all of the characters still are alive at the end of the show. But for anyone who doesn’t think a happy ending always is mandatory, it’s my opinion the Paramount isn’t just staging “West Side Story” – it’s a Best Side Story for anyone who loves musicals.

• Paul Lockwood is a past president of TownSquare Players (TSP) and an occasional community theater actor in McHenry County, appearing in more than two dozen plays and musicals since he and his wife moved to Woodstock 15 years ago.

Recent productions in which he’s acted include “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “A Christmas Carol” (2014) at the Woodstock Opera House, where he’ll next appear in “Into the Woods,” presented April 8-24 by Woodstock Musical Theatre Company.

Stunted ‘Bachelors’ hard to take REVIEWS Anthony Walker If you enjoy stories about bad people doing bad things to each other then you will enjoy Cole Theatre’s Midwest premiere of “The Bachelors”

by Caroline V. McGraw.

Three college friends have carried the most irresponsible aspects of their university days deep into their late 20s. All hold respectable sounding jobs, but have failed to find either lasting, emotional relationships with women or furniture that couldn’t have been picked up from the curb in the middle of the night. All three men have their emotional scars opened up and laid bare by an unrelenting night, which creates a collective meltdown.

There are a number of twists in the story that if told in advance would remove some of the enjoyment of the moment so I will resist.

The audience is welcomed into the space by Grant Sabin’s (scenic designer) realistic bachelor loft, complete with hipster poster, wooden spool end table and cinder block entertainment center. One quickly realizes the

mental discord that comes from what appears to be a meager college space occupied by a trio of fairly successful working men (one is a cancer crusading microbiologist) and not struggling college kids.

The Sandra Cisneros-like poetic dialogue stood in stark contrast to the David Mamet-inspired vulgarity of the three wickedly flawed roommates. Each represented different stereotypes of the modern man: the man who takes what he wants (objectifier of women), the man who can’t give until it’s too late (the man who loves, but cannot commit) and the man who only can love when the love cannot be returned (and really risk nothing). Perhaps because of the elevated poetry one moment shoved up against various different physical or verbal profanities, or because of the use of archetypes, none of the three ever really felt real.

None of the three characters really are all that likeable, and perhaps none of them actually are redeemable, though all three strive for some redemption in their own ways. No man should want to identify, nor relate with any of these three characters. But perhaps that is the point.

Shane Kenyon (Laurie) was very

organic, emotionally intense and fun to watch. His honesty stood in stark contrast to Boyd Harris (Henry) who brought an over-used deadpan, which alternately created great humor and frustration for the audience, who struggled to understand the real intent of his character. Nicholas Bailey (Kevlar) struggled through various levels of inebriation and helped provide the heart in the show (misshapen as his heart was). Bailey also did a subtle but vital job of actively listening during long monologues and an unnecessarily long dance break by Harris.

Each of the characters has his chance to explain himself in both dialogue and monologue. Kevlar’s girlfriend of five years is dying of cancer and wants to sample the world before she goes. Laurie can only love women who won’t love him. Henry is not looking for Ms. Right – just Ms. Right Now. The physical climax of the play takes place thanks to David Woolley’s intense fight scene, which teetered precariously close to the audience.

The action was clean and emotional and felt as if it would spill into the friends and family in the front row, mere feet from the stage.

“THE BACHELORS” WHEN: Through April 10 WHERE: Cole Theatre at the Greenhouse Upstairs Theater, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago COST & INFO: A Midwest premiere and the second production by Cole Theatre.

Featuring an all-male cast, the dark comedy explores three stunted young men’s behaviors toward women, and the wreckage caused in the wake of a longlived patriarchy. Tickets range in cost from $10 to $25. Tickets and information: www.coletheatre.org.

Other than a couple of curiously draw-out moments, Director Erica Weiss kept the pace moving in this 75-minute one-act toward a dissatisfying and confusing ending.

This show would rate an R if it were a movie.

If you go, be sure to grab a drink in the lobby. It will help you fit in with the hard-living, emotionally stunted “Bachelors.”

• Anthony Walker earned his Master of Fine Arts in theatre at Western Illinois University in 2004. He has taught English, theater and speech for more than 15 years. He has been the theater director at Woodstock High School for 11 years.

Along with performing as a solo artist at the Opera House and Stage Left Café, Hall was half of the group Friedlander and Hall from 1973 until his death. He also was the guitar player for the celtic-eclectic folk band Trillium.

Hall started working with the Opera House more than 35 years ago when he sought to raise money for Special Olympics, Scharres said. He hosted several talent show fundraisers for the organization, some of them broadcast live on cable television at the time, he said.

Hall also served on the Opera House’s advisory commission for 11 years, he said.

Algonquin teen finds success with folk duo, new album

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com With a solo album already under her belt, 16-year-old Althea Grace of Algonquin has found even more musical acclaim as half of the “poppy-folk” duo, Future Stuff.

Future Stuff, also featuring singer/ songwriter Gabe Burdulis of Nashville, Tennessee, recently released an EP and went on tour – performing throughout Wisconsin, Chicago and Nashville, and heading to California next week.

They’ve opened for Uncle Lucius, a popular Austin-based indie rock band, as well as Ike Willis, a regular sideman for Frank Zappa.

The duo’s self-titled EP was featured on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” playlist, with their song, “Act Like You Love Me,” becoming an instant hit.

All this, and Grace is working to graduate from Dundee-Crown High School in Carpentersville a year early.

“It’s a little crazy trying to work out practicing and playing shows together, but it’s been working pretty well, just trying to make a go of it as a duo. This summer, we’d like to get out and travel more,” said Grace, the daughter of Dave

and Meghan Roggenbuck who goes by Grace. “It’s been a really great year.

This new EP, I’m really proud of it.”

Grace met Burdulis about three years ago when the two competed in a Battle of the Bands. They kept in touch and started playing together. Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, Burdulis has released three solo CDs and has performed at Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Summerfest, known as the world’s largest music festival, numerous times.

With Burdulis playing guitar, kick drum and occasionally the trumpet, Grace plays the upright bass and guitar for an acoustic, yet full-band, sound she describes as “super eclectic.”

“It’s a folky pop duo, but we also have the same blues influences both of us used to play with our solo acts,” she said. The duo’s online description at www.futuremusic.com, where the EP can be bought, along with all all major music sites, says it best, she said.

“Their heavy blues influence gives their music and lyrics a sound beyond their years and can best be described as a vintage folk/pop style that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as well as tear at your heart strings,” a description reads.

Pet of the Week IRIS 10+ YEAR OLD FEMALE TORTIE DSH

She was never spayed and guess what happened? She got pregnant.

“BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE”

The Associated Press Zac Snyder’s thundering and grim “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” offers the kind of blunt, mano-a-mano faceoff usually reserved for Predators, Godzillas and presidential candidates.

And just as has been said often of this election year, “Batman v Superman” takes a once See page almost charming tradi14 for a look tion and plunges it into the gutter. Long gone are at the pros and cons of the telephone booths, corn fields or any other the two sutokens of innocence. And perheroes. given the prevailing climate, Snyder may have judged the rock’em-sock’em moment wisely. Gentlemen, keep your fists up and your capes neatly tucked.

“Batman v Superman,” as heavy and humorless as a Supreme Court decision, is an 18-wheeler of a movie. It hurtles not with the kinetic momentum of “Mad Max: Fury Road” nor the comparatively spry skip of a Marvel movie, but with an operatic grandeur it sometimes earns

STARRING: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy

Adams

PLOT: Fearing the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the man of steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 31 minutes and often doesn’t.

This is “Paradise Lost” for superheroes. It twists and grinds two of the most classic comic heroes, wringing less altruistic emotions out of them until their dashing smiles turn to angry grimaces.

After an impressionistic montage of Batman’s iconic childhood, the film picks up where Snyder’s Superman reboot “Man of Steel” left off, but from a different perspective. Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) is driving through the falling debris of Metropolis while Superman (Henry Cavill) careens above.

Snyder has channeled the backlash over the high death-toll finale into Wayne, who bitterly watches Superman from the dust-filled air on the ground.

Snyder delves into their opposite natures: one a godlike power from another planet who favors primary colors, the other a well-equipped human prone to a darker palette.

At a party thrown by Lex Luthor (the badly miscast Jesse Eisenberg), their two alter-egos surprisingly are passive aggressive. Both are combating a new environment for superheroes best articulated by none other than astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who, on TV, describes supermen as altering man’s assumed supremacy in the universe.

Luthor’s plot gradually brings the heroes into the same orbit, along with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). But it’s the genuine rigor of Snyder’s engagement with the psychology of Superman and Batman that keeps the film grounded and the rivalry plausible. “Batman v Superman” is serious about contemplating the positions they occupy in a world that has grown to resent their might.

It’s in some ways an ideal film for

Snyder, an exceptionally un-subtle filmmaker. Unlike Marvel films, DC Comic adaptations have, for better (Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy) and worse (“Man of Steel”), been works of distinct directors.

Snyder’s command is less sure when it comes to, well, normal life. “Batman v Superman” would rather spend its time in the throes of myth than somewhere like the offices of the Daily Planet, where the eminently pert Amy Adams (Lois Lane) breezes in and out.

As for the much discussed casting of Affleck, Keaton and Bale have little to worry about. But Affleck is a worthy heir to the part.

There’s an elemental fun in positing the winners of superhero square-offs.

Is the Flash faster than Superman? Is Aquaman or Wonder Woman the better tipper?

Such debates are predicated on their inherent silliness, something the selfserious “Batman v Superman” ignores.

What’s there to fight about anyway?

The most important battle already was decided: Batman, long our favorite, already has top billing.

Batman versus Superman: Who has the advantage?

By MICHAEL CAVNA and DAVID BETANCOURT • The Washington Post

Two iconic characters in capes rocketed the comic-book industry into the American mainstream: Superman and Batman, twin pop-culture monuments who, though born in the late ’30s, still reign ageless. And on March 25, these Spandex heavyweights will go (Super-)mano a (Bat-)mano for the first time on the big screen, in director Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman:

Dawn of Justice.”

So who has the edge in this epic showdown of DC Comics’ most popular warriors? Sure, Superman is the stronger combatant – but don’t think Batman doesn’t have something in his utility belt to counter him. To weigh their pros and cons, here’s our tale of the tape:

Birth name

Weakness

Superman: Kal-El Batman: Bruce Wayne Advantage: Superman, with a name so distinctive, fan Nicolas Cage even tagged his son with it.

Official character height Superman: 6-foot-3 Batman: 6-foot-2 Advantage: Push

Official character weight

Superman: 235 pounds Batman: 210 pounds Advantage: Depends on weight of Batman’s utility belt.

Hair

Superman: Signature S-curl Batman: Potential “helmet hair” from the cowl.

Advantage: Superman

Logo

Superman: Chest-spanning “S” Batman: Fear-inducing black bat Advantage: Batman. The “Bat-Signal” looks

impressive projected into the midnight skies over Gotham.

Secret identity

Superman: Bumbling, stumbling newspaper

reporter Clark Kent Batman: Billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne Advantage: Superman – those media connections pay off in times of trouble.

Iconic crash pad

Superman: Icy “Fortress of Solitude” Batman: Dank, subterranean “Batcave” Advantage: Batman – better manservants.

Superman: Kryptonite radiation, love of humanity Batman: No actual superpower, Catwoman’s feline allure

Advantage: Batman

Sidekick

Superman: Usually works alone Batman: Most often Robin, the Boy Wonder Advantage: Superman. Poor, ever-grieving Batman has had to endure too many sidekick deaths by nefarious means.

Notable villains

Superman: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Bizarro, Zod Batman: Joker, Riddler, Penguin, Bane, Ra’s al Ghul

Advantage: Batman – arguably the greatest rogues’ gallery in comics history.

Creators

Superman: Nerdy, outsidery Canadian/

Boy Scout”)

Cleveland boys in the ’30s (Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster) Batman: Streetwise, outsidery New York lads in the ’30s (Bob Kane and Bill Finger) Advantage: You pick

a plus-one.

Oscar nominations among big-screen actors

Personality

Superman: Earnest do-gooder (aka “The Big Blue Batman: Dark, moody, tortured vigilante Advantage: Superman. Batman’s a real downer as

Superman: Reeve, Routh, Cavill et al.=

Origin story

Superman: The infant Kal-El’s parents rocketed

him away in a capsule like a cosmos-Moses (“cos-Moses”?) before they died in the explosion of home planet Krypton.

Batman: Young Bruce Wayne saw his own parents murdered before his eyes, while old enough to remember the psychescarring event.

Advantage for lifelong mental torture as compelling narrative: Batman

Fighting attributes Superman: Super-flight,

super-speed, super-hearing, super-intelligence, super-nearinvulnerability, super-heat vision.

Batman: Hand-to-hand combat; a street fighter’s hard-won guile.

Advantage: Batman

zero

Batman: Keaton, Clooney, Bale, Affleck = 14.

Advantage: Batman

Memorable music

Superman: John Williams’ triumphant horns in the original films

Batman: Hans Zimmer’s Dolby-splitting bass synthesizers in the Christopher Nolan films

Advantage: Depends on the darkness of your mortal soul.

Romantic highlight

Superman: Flying a charmed Lois

through the gentle evening sky.

Batman: Getting face-licked by a villainous, leather-loving Catwoman.

Advantage: You pick – this one says more about you.

Best death

Superman: Memorably slain by a monster named Doomsday (before inevitable resurrection)

Batman: Flatlined by Darkseid (before inevitably cheating death via time travel)

Advantage: Superman – he “revived” much more quickly.

Motto/oath

Superman: “Truth, justice and the American way.”

Batman: “And I swear by the spirits of my parents

to avenge their deaths by spending the rest of my life warring on all criminals.”

Advantage: Superman’s for bumper sticker; Batman’s for eight-decade narrative.

By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press

Ever been to a wedding where you don’t know anyone very well? It’s pretty deadly, no matter how good the food or the band might be. Everyone’s laughing really hard at jokes you don’t find funny, or even understand.

On the other hand, if you know and love everyone, you’ll have fun even if the champagne is flat and the canapes soggy.

And that, dear moviegoer, is about as deep as we need to go in analyzing “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” an overstuffed, under-achieving sequel. If you’ve been dying for a reunion with those lovable folks known as the Portokalos family, maybe you’ll be happy. But if you didn’t miss them that much or, maybe didn’t even know them in the first place, stay away from this wedding.

Send a gift and call it a day.

The fact the film took 14 years to arrive – Nia Vardalos is again the star and writer – is both a blessing and a curse. It may have stoked huge interest – the original was a ginormous sleeper hit – but it also implies we’re about to see something worth the wait. Instead, the script is a tired pastiche of what seem like the same gags we heard the first time. Greek families are big and affectionate! Greek families get involved in each other’s business! And so on.

We begin in snowy Chicago, where Toula (Vardalos) still is married to her Waspy hunk of a husband, Ian (John Corbett, amiable but peripheral), now the high school principal. Her father, Gus (Michael Constantine), still is very much the patriarch, a man who swears he’s related to Alexander the Great and believes every word in the English language comes from Greek, even “Facebook.” The rest of the gang is back, too, including Lainie Kazan as Toula’s mom, Maria, and the terrific Andrea Martin as Aunt Voula.

But 14 years have passed; Toula and Ian are now parents of a high school senior, pretty Paris

“MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2” STARRING: Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Michael Constan-

tine

PLOT: A Portokalos family secret brings the beloved characters back together for an even bigger and Greeker wedding.

RATED: PG-13 for some suggestive material RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes (Elena Kampouris). Paris rolls her mascaraheavy eyes when her grandfather instructs her to quickly find a Greek boy and marry him.

Such grandfatherly advice is par for the course, but poor Paris really suffers when this theme is stretched to ridiculous proportions as the entire clan – cousins, aunts, uncles – shows up at the school’s college fair, where they virtually accost the representative from Northwestern and threaten him with punishment should Paris not be admitted. Oh, families. So silly.

This is a recurring problem with the film, directed by Kirk Jones; what seemed quirky and funny in the original is exaggerated to un-funny extent here. It’s as if Vardalos was trying to take things to a darker, more interesting place, but got scared and went for slapstick instead. And so we have a scene in which Gus gets stuck, naked, in his bathtub, and the entire family comes to extract him. But they have to cover his private parts with a towel. And that’s the extent of the joke.

But OK, given the title, there’s got to be ... a wedding, right? Well, Toula’s already married, and Paris is too young. And so, we have a plot device whereby Gus discovers his original marriage license from Greece never was signed.

Time for a wedding. Of course, there are a few obstacles along the way. But we all know we’ll get our happy wedding. And you’ll surely smile at a few points.

It’s only when those credits roll you’ll likely find yourself thinking: 14 years, for this?

According to the National Association of Realtors,R “Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends,” 32 percent of home sales during 2015 were Millennials with a median age of 29 years and a yearly income of $76,900.

Many took advantage of FHA low down payments, and they purchased homes in the suburbs.

This trend has influenced sales at popular West Point Gardens on the west side of Elgin. The award-winning master-planned community includes a charming neighborhood

setting and four series of homes, ranging from those that are ideal for first-time home buyers. Prices for the Park Series range from $174,990 to $202,990 and the homes have been designed especially for those who want a detached single-family home with maintenance-free exteriors.

“The Park Series has received international attention because the homes we’ve designed combine several elements that make them ideal for first-time home buyers who want to start building equity in a well-appointed but affordable home,” said Patrick Curran, president of West Point Builders and developer of West Point Gardens. “The four Park Series home designs blend the privacy of a detached single-family homes with

Dorothy Thompson, a journalist and radio broadcaster who in 1939 was recognized by Time magazine as the second most influential woman in America behind Eleanor Roosevelt, said, “There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.”

Good bridge players analyze the calls and plays. The better their conclusions, the more accurate will be their actions.

In today’s deal, look at the South hand. He opens one heart, West overcalls one spade, North responds two hearts, and East raises to two spades.

What should South do now?

Initially South started with four spade losers, but how many spades does North hold? Given the opponents’ bids, it must be one or zero.

South can ruff most of those losers on the board. This makes his hand much stronger than the basic 14 high-card points. He might jump to four hearts, but perhaps North has values wasted in diamonds. It is better for South to rebid three clubs, a game-try.

Here, North, with all of his points in the rounded suits and that useful-looking spade singleton, should have no qualms in jumping to four hearts, despite holding only six highcard points.

West leads the spade ace, then shifts to a trump. South can win in his hand, ruff a spade on the board, and, if greedy, cross to his hand with a club, ruff another spade, play a club to his hand, draw trumps, and claim an overtrick.

It is tough, but East-West would do well to sacrifice in four spades doubled, which costs only 500.
