CONCORD, N.C. – A North Carolina man said he was arrested for failing to return a VHS tape that he rented in 2002. James Meyers said he was driving his daughter to school Tuesday when a police officer pulled him over for a defective tail light.

He said the officer told him there was a warrant out for his arrest from 2002, because Meyers had rented the movie “Freddy Got Fingered” starring Tom Green and never returned it.

Meyers said the officer let him take his daughter to school and go to work, as long as he promised to turn himself in to the police department later that day.

Meyers showed media outlets the arrest warrant Wednesday.

ADJUSTING TO MEET DEMAND Number of substance abuse counselor jobs projected to grow

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Mark Myers has seen a handful of patients who need counseling for heroin addiction in the past three months.

That’s about the same amount of heroin addicts he’s treated in the past 10 years.

For Myers, a clinical social worker who has been certified since 1986, treating heroin addicts presents challenges unlike those he encounters when dealing with people with an alcohol or marijuana dependency. He said the key is to be personally invested while maintaining a safe emotional distance from the client’s successes and failures.

“There’s a fine line,” Myers said.

“It doesn’t mean I won’t get frustrated or sad or disappointed, but I think it’s something people in the field really need to reconcile.”

He’s not the only one adjusting.

As heroin use spikes locally and nationwide, the number of substance abuse counselor jobs is projected to grow more than three times faster than the average career. The projected increase in a field marked by high turnover means local providers are adjusting to meet the demand, whether that means bolstering staff or their ability to help people trying to escape addiction.

Clients come to Myers through several avenues. Some are referred by friends, others insurance, and some come from the court system. What the variety means is the long, exhausting

treatment process isn’t always something the client wants.

“It does get tough to realize and keep in perspective, what are the things I can do,” Myers said. “I’m trying to figure out what my role will be and the motivation of the clients coming in. Some of them are truly on the fence. So my expectations and my hopes might be different than the client’s.”

Trying to lead someone to a life of recovery can be both amazing and stressful, said McHenry County Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block.

Block, who worked as a certified substance abuse counselor for eight years, said the “heartbreaking” nature of the work could contribute to turnover. It also could be because of

increasing competition among publicly funded and private agencies for the same pool of candidates.

A nationwide study published in 2010 found the average annual turnover rate among substance abuse counselors was 33 percent. The most commonly cited reason for leaving was a new job or opportunity, while job dissatisfaction accounted for less than 3 percent of those surveyed.

That’s not the case at Rosecrance in McHenry County, Director Chris Gleason said.

“Some of the turnover we have is people moving to different jobs,” Gleason said. “Most of our adult substance abuse counselors have been with us for about four to five years.”

Board of Elections rules on complaint GOP committeeman’s complaint alleged group violated campaign finance laws

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com The Illinois State Board of Elections has decided not to formally discipline the political action committee responsible for the McHenry Times based on a complaint alleging the group violated campaign finance laws.

Republican Precinct Committeeman Kenneth Cabay of Lake in the Hills filed the complaint Feb. 25 alleging that Liberty Principles coordinated with East Dundee Republican Allen Skillicorn.

The complaint pointed to a front-page piece in a news- Allen paper-style mailing that Skillicorn included quotes from Skillicorn. Cabay also alleged Liberty Principles, run by conservative Dan Proft, did not properly disclose who paid for the content.

Director of Campaign Disclosure Tom Newman said state law prohibits independent expenditure committees such as Liberty Principles from making coordinated expenditures with a candidate or a candidate’s committee.

“The downside being there’s no definition in the law of what qualifies as coordination,” Newman said.

In a closed preliminary hearing March 3, a hearing officer and general counsel found the complaint to have been made on justifiable grounds and said the

The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the number of substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors jobs is projected to grow by 22 percent – the average is 7 percent – by the year 2024. The job carried an average salary of $39,270, based on federal data.

When Rosecrance first opened its McHenry County outpatient program in July 2012, it had four substance abuse

PAC should be admonished, according to hearing records. But the board during a March 14 hearing unanimously decided the complaint did not warrant a public hearing.

Proft, whose PAC published seven other newspaper-style mailings throughout the state leading up to the March 15 primary, called the order the “definition of victory” in the adjudication process.

“Those that complained for political reasons were wrong, and we were vindicated by the State Board of Elections,” Proft said.

Skillicorn, who declared victory in the 66th District primary last week, said he was unaware he had been mentioned in the complaint.

“I send out dozens of press releases to reporters, bloggers and activists,” Skillicorn said in a written statement. “Some run the press releases, some do not. I can’t control that.”

The board did include in its order instructions for Liberty Principles to include the phrase “paid for by” on future campaign literature or be subject to a $5,000 fine. The mailings had included a note declaring Liberty Principles as the publisher.

A similar complaint was filed regarding the Lake County Gazette and Republican Dan McConchie, the presumed primary winner in the 26th Illinois House District. Newman said the complaint is scheduled for a closed preliminary hearing April 11.

counselors. Now there are 11 of them, Gleason said. They don’t have a waiting list, and consider additional staff based on caseloads and if patients are waiting longer then 72 hours to be seen.

The last job posting attracted 40 applicants.

“Anytime I post a substance abuse counselor job it’s filled within two weeks,” Gleason said. “There are a lot more counselors coming out of graduate school with substance abuse work than before. I feel like the counselors are coming out a bit more prepared.”

The girl was taken to see Raymond Davis, a pediatrician who specializes in child abuse and neglect, after she disclosed to her mother that she had been abused by Avila-Arredondo.

Davis told the jury Tuesday that he examined the girl nearly two weeks after the last alleged physical contact with the defendant. After completing a comprehensive exam, he said his results were inconclusive but consistent with what the girl’s mother told him about the alleged incidents.

Upon completion of the exam in 2014, he said that he recommended

counseling, but no further testing.

“I believe that tipped the scale,” Botto said outside the courtroom, adding that he is relieved and gratified for the verdict.

Prosecutors alleged that Avila-Arredondo touched the girl inappropriately when she was 5 or 6 years old until she was 14 when she made the claims to her mother.

The girl, now 15, said she didn’t tell her mother about the alleged abuse until after a visit to the doctor for a routine physical – several years after the abuse began – because she didn’t know how her mother would react.

Board to vote on proposals for medical office developments

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – An addition of MRI services to Advocate Sherman’s medical office building, a dental office and a medical rehabilitation center are among four development proposals the Village Board will vote on next month.

The developments were all presented and advanced by the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday.

The first of three medical developments was a proposal to amend the planned use development for the Advocate Sherman medical office building at 600 S. Randall Road.

A planned two-story addition totaling 4,022 square feet would house MRI services and future office space, planning documents state. The existing medical offices and immediate care center would remain open during renovations.

Elsewhere on Randall Road, Aspen Dental submitted a petition for a special-use permit for a dental office in a new multi-tenant building in front of the WalMart on Randall Road.

Aspen Dental already has locations in Crystal Lake, Carpentersville and Barrington. An AT&T store is planned for the northern half of that building.

On the east side of Algonquin, Rehab Care Group submitted a petition for a special-use permit for a medical office at 212216 Eastgate Court, in front of Eastgate Manor along Algonquin Road.

Planning documents state the office would provide physical, occupational and speech-language rehabilitation services from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. three days a week.

Finally, a developer proposed to demolish the former bank at 234 S. Randall Road, which has been vacant for several years, and redevelop the property into a 14,960-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building.

In addition to the proposed developments, the board also will decide whether to approve a contract for the first phase of engineering design for improvements to the downtown area. The contract is for about $375,000, a number within the project’s 2016-17 budget of $505,000.

The board will vote on all the planned projects April 5.

8 FOX RIVER GROVE

School District 3 considers one-to-one technology plan

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – Fox River Grove School District 3 this week positioned itself to become the next district in McHenry County to move toward providing devices to middle school students on a one-to-one basis.

Board members heard a presentation about the state of technology in the district that included three options for a one-to-one technology rollout starting next school year.

The board directed administration to bring option 1 – piloting a one-toone program with eighth-graders next year and add a grade every year down to sixth grade – back for a vote during the April meeting, Superintendent Tim Mahaffy said in an email.

“They also liked taking it one year at a time and making adjustments as we go, so that we are maximizing the initiative while being financially prudent,” Mahaffy said.

If approved next month, the program would begin with 60 devices for eighth-graders next year. If it’s successful, the next year will bring 60 more devices for the new eighth-graders and the previous 60 will go to sev-

enth-graders. The program would continue the following year to include sixth-graders, district documents show.

The estimated rollout cost, including carts for the devices would be about $40,440 a grade level, and after the initial rollout there will be a recurring replacement cost of $37,440 a year. Mahaffy pointed out as the district moves to a one-to-one environment, the district might not need computer labs, which would eliminate the lab replacement costs incurred every three to four years.

Unlike other programs in which students would be responsible for a technology fee, but keep the devices, District 3’s proposal is to keep the devices at school each night. However, the district would likely provide an opportunity for students to check out devices if they need to.

District 3, which currently has 166 iPads and 150 Netbooks, is the latest to consider a program such as this one. School boards of Cary School District 26 and Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 approved pilot programs in February, and Community Unit School District 300 considered a program in January.

LOCAL BRIEF LITH police seek woman who stole Starbucks tip jar

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a woman suspected of stealing the tip jar from a Starbucks on Randall Road.

Lake in the Hills Deputy Police Chief Mary Frake said employees of the Starbucks, 343 N. Randall Road, reported about 7:15 a.m. March 17 that a tip jar containing between $30 and $60 was stolen from inside the cafe.

The woman captured by Starbucks cameras was white with brown hair and wearing a black T-shirt with a graphic on it. Frake said police did not have informa-

tion on the woman’s height or weight.

Frake said police have identified a person of interest, but continue to look for information on the woman’s identity.

“There is no information we will not take,” Frake said. “If they think she looks like someone they know. If they were there that day.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake in the Hills Police Department through a private Facebook message or by calling 847-658-5676.

Anonymous tips also can be submitted through www.lith.org/police/webform/ crime-tips.

US Mint Quietly Issues Silver Ike Dollars in 1971–But Most Americans Never Knew!

The Eisenhower Dollar was released into circulation in 1971. Over 100 million coins were made, but only a fraction-less than 3%-were struck in Silver at the San Francisco Mint. Was it meant to be a secret? Probably not, but with so few made, it can easily be stated that no one knew about it...until now!

McHENRY – Five people were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries that were not life-threatening after a three-vehicle crash Thursday at Route 120 and Martin Road, a fire official said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Chief Dave Harwood said all three vehicles were heavily damaged in the crash around 8:15 p.m.

Everyone involved in the crash was transported, and McHenry police also responded to the scene.

Icy roads were a factor in the crash, which was one of many reported across the area Thursday night.

Harwood said no one was injured in crashes at River Road and Charles J. Miller Highway and on the Route 120 bridge over the Fox River.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said the department was dealing with icy roads, particularly in the eastern part of the county. The conditions came after a rainy morning and snowy afternoon and early evening in the region.

Conditions closed bridges on Route 14 in Harvard and Crystal Lake and the Route 176 bridge over the Fox River on Thursday evening.

The sheriff’s office was reminding drivers to slow down, drive defensively and give first responders, plow drivers and tow truck drivers room to safely work.

Man wins $650,000 Lucky Day Lotto jackpot HARVARD – Lifelong Harvard resident Joe Staver has a little more money to put away for his grandchildren.

Staver won $650,000 on a Lucky Day Lotto ticket, the Illinois Lottery announced Wednesday after Staver claimed his winnings at the Illinois Lottery Prize Center in Rockford.

Staver’s Lucky Day Lotto ticket matched all five numbers – 05-0720-31-35 – in the March 12 midday drawing. Staver and his wife, Marie, have been married 36 years. They have

two children and seven grandchildren. They plan to use the unexpected cash to buy a house and two vehicles.

“We also plan to make investments for our grandchildren,” Staver said in a lottery news release.

Staver purchased the ticket at the Chemung Country Store, 24102 Route 173, near Harvard. The retailer received a $6,500 bonus, one percent of the prize, for selling the winning ticket. Lottery officials said in addition to Staver’s jackpot prize, more than 17,000 players won prizes ranging from $1 to $200 in the Lucky Day Lotto drawing.

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY LOS ANGELES – Garry Shandling, who as an actor and comedian masterminded a brand of self-inflicted phony docudrama with “The Larry Sanders Show,” has died of an apparent heart attack.

Shandling’s spokesman Alan Nierob said doctors at a hospital where the comedian was pronounced dead said it appeared he died of a heart attack. Nierob said Shandling had no history of heart trouble.

Coroner’s Lt. David Smith said it appeared Shandling died of natural causes, but an official cause of death determination had not yet been made.

Smith said no autopsy was planned, but officials would determine Shandling’s cause of death based on medical records and his medical history.

Shandling was taken to a hospital after paramedics were dispatched to his Brentwood home around 10:40

a.m. Thursday, police and fire officials said.

His death stunned the comedy community, who praised Shandling’s humor, kindness and efforts to support and promote them and their craft.

An innovative and eccentric humorist with pillowy lips and a voice that always seemed on the verge of a whine, Shandling claimed to disdain too much logic cluttering his life.

“The answer isn’t gonna be in the facts,” he told The Associated Press in 2009. “It’s gonna be in intuition.

That’s how I work creatively. I’m always teaching people that the answer to that creative question is right here, in the room, between us here.”

More to the point, it was dealing with the questions he confronted in

himself.

Born Nov. 29, 1949, in Chicago, Shandling was raised in Tucson, Arizona. On arriving in Los Angeles as a young adult, it was a short hop from a brief stint in the advertising business to comedy writing and stand-up.

Then in the 1980s, he began to experiment with TV comedy, and to toy with the sitcom form, with his first series, “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” a Showtime project that made no bones about its inherently artificial nature: The actors in this otherwise standard domestic comedy routinely broke the fourth wall to comment on what they were up to. Even the theme song began with the explanatory lyrics, “The theme to Garry’s show....”

Then, in August 1992, Shandling created for HBO his comic masterpiece with “The Larry Sanders Show,” which starred him as an egomaniacal late-night TV host with an angst-ridden showbiz life behind the scenes.

STATE

Ill. Supreme Court strikes down Chicago pensions plan Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (right) and state Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Des Plaines, talk before Emanuel testified in 2010 during the House Committee Hearing on Personnel and Pensions at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield.

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court dealt another devastating blow Thursday to the state’s impatient attempts to control ballooning public pension debt, striking down a law that would have cut into an $8 billion hole in two of Chicago’s employee retirement accounts and leaving officials searching for new options to shore up an already wobbly program.

The city had hoped that by pointing to the steep increase in taxpayer-fueled contributions the law required it would be able to sidestep a widely expected ruling that the plan violated the Illinois Constitution’s protection against reducing pension benefits.

But the court’s unanimous finding in favor of pension participants who pointed to reduced future benefits and higher contributions sends the city back to the bargaining table.

GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner used the ruling the tout a proposal by Democratic Senate President John Cullerton that would offer workers a choice of future cost-of-living increases based on current salary, or lowered increases tied to

Court: AFSCME not owed pay raises without appropriation

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Thursday that former Gov. Pat Quinn was correct in 2011 when he denied state workers promised pay raises because lawmakers had not appropriated the money.

The court’s 6-1 decision is another twist in a five-year-old debacle that serves as a subplot to the state’s long-running fiscal crisis.

The ruling reversed earlier conclusions that 30,000 members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees’ state council were due negotiated raises, which the union a year earlier had already agreed to delay because of the budget mess.

future pay raises. The idea is, benefits already collected don’t go away.

“We’ve got to stop changing and taking away peoples accrued pension benefits,” Rauner said at a stop in Paxton, according to audio released by his office. “Let’s propose changes for future work with ‘consideration’ so teachers or police officers or public places can choose different pensions for the future.”

An expert on Illinois finances said it’s time to amend the Illinois Constitution to make the pension protection language clear. Lawmakers vowed to

Justice Mary Jane Theis, writing the court’s opinion, shelved AFSCME’s argument that requiring a legislative appropriation would render contract negotiations hollow.

“Some collective bargaining agreements have made wage increases expressly contingent on legislative appropriation,” Theis wrote.

The amount owed by 2014 was $112 million. Complicating matters, some workers got paid as money became available.

Others benefited from a $50 million appropriation lawmakers OK’d that spring. But about $60 million has yet to be paid out to about 24,000 employees, an AFSCME spokesman. Each is owed an average of $2,500.

Attorney general reports collecting nearly $1 billion

CHICAGO – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said it collected nearly $1 billion in revenue last year.

The money is from settle-

keep trying.

To stave off insolvency by 2029, the law forced the city to significantly ramp up its annual contributions, but also cut benefits and required larger contributions from about 61,000 current and retired librarians, nurses, nonteaching school employees laborers and more.

Critics targeted the law from the start, in part because it addressed only two funds – civil servants and laborers.

When including police and fire pension programs, the city’s total liability was $20 billion – not counting a $9.6

ments, fines and penalties. The sum includes Illinois’ $52.5 million share from a Standard & Poor’s settlement. That settlement was over alleged misrepresentations about the processes it used to assign credit ratings to mortgage-backed securities that sparked the 2008 financial crisis.

The total also includes $265 million in tobacco litigation and $320 million collected through cases, including state property damage and child support enforcement.

Madigan’s office said the number averages $1 billion annually.

Elgin firefighters who shared explicit images disciplined

ELGIN – An Elgin Fire Department lieutenant has been demoted and two firefighters have been disciplined amid accusations that they exchanged explicit photos and videos of themselves while on duty.

In agreements reached Tuesday between the employees, the

billion shortfall in the Chicago Public Schools teachers’ pension account. The City Council approved a $543 million property-tax increase last fall – to deal with shortages in police and fire funds.

The order came less than a year after the high court used the same reasoning to shoot down a separate pension bailout: the $111 billion deficit in state-employee retirement accounts.

And other cities are not far behind, facing similar shortfalls.

Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a Chicago-based tax policy and research group, suggested the iron-clad constitutional language threatens any proposal. He suggests a constitutional amendment that loosens its restrictions.

“We’re not advocating for any specific plan,” Msall said. “We’re supporting the need for clarity in the constitution so those ideas can be legislated.”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who inherited the crisis, disagreed with the ruling but pledged to re-convene negotiations on a new framework.

“My administration will continue to work with our labor partners on a shared path forward,” the Democrat said in a statement.

International Association of Firefighters Local 439 and the city of Elgin, Lt. Amanda Bruce was demoted to firefighter, while firefighters John Sardina and Eric McMahon lost their special assignments, as driver and mechanic, respectively, according to documents obtained by the Daily Herald through a Freedom of Information act request.

All three received 20-day suspensions and will be subject to termination if they display similar conduct within the next three years.

While on duty at Elgin fire stations, Bruce and Sardina took sexually oriented photos and videos of themselves, and McMahon took sexually oriented photos of himself, according to a Feb. 17 investigative report by the city’s professional standards officer, which was included in the released documents.

The photos and videos depict the firefighters alone and date back to 2009 through 2013.

Sardina and McMahon sent their own images to Bruce, and

she sent her images to Sardina and an unnamed “boyfriend,” the report said.

U.S. Census shows 1st population drop in Cook County

CHICAGO – New U.S. Census data show Illinois’ Cook County had the largest population decline among counties and its first dip since 2007.

The nation’s second most-populated county lost nearly 10,500 residents between 2014 and 2015, leaving it with 5.2 million residents.

The U.S. Census on Thursday released the information, which also shows the Chicago metropolitan area with a population drop of almost 6,300 residents.

The number of births and new residents didn’t offset the loss.

Experts suggest the reasons for decline include a drop in immigration, an aging Mexican immigrant population and dwindling numbers of black residents.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Syrian army enters IS-held World War II. Karadzic was sentenced to 40 Palmyra; Mosul targeted

DAMASCUS, Syria – Syrian government forces pushed into the ancient town of Palmyra, where Islamic State militants appeared on the verge of collapse Thursday, while in Iraq, a military spokesman announced the start of a long-awaited operation to recapture the IS-held northern city of Mosul.

The extremist group has been losing ground in Syria and Iraq for months under a stepped-up campaign of U.S.-led and Russian airstrikes, as well as ground assaults by multiple forces in each country.

The retaking of Palmyra – a UNESCO world heritage site whose fall to the militants last May sent shock waves through archaeological circles and beyond – would be a significant victory for the Syrian government. But the operation to unseat the group in Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, likely is to take much longer and be far more difficult.

In pronouncing the verdict, presiding Judge O-Gon Kwon said Karadzic and his military commander, Gen. Ratko Mladic, intended “that every able-bodied Bosnian Muslim male from Srebrenica be killed.”

Belgian officials acknowledge warning signs were missed

By JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG and ANGELA CHARLTON The Associated Press

BRUSSELS – Belgium’s prime minister refused to accept the resignations of his justice and interior ministers Thursday despite increasing evidence of intelligence and law enforcement failures to prevent this week’s suicide bombings by Islamic militants.

With at least one attacker at large and an unknown number of accomplices, police detained six people in raids around the Belgian capital Thursday night. In a Paris suburb, a man suspected of plotting an imminent attack also was detained Thursday, but the interior minister reported no apparent link with the Brussels airport and subway bombings or the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris.

Authorities lowered Belgium’s terror-threat level by one notch, although they said the situation remained grave and another attack is “likely and possible.”

Belgium had been on its highest alert ever since Tuesday’s bombings in the Brus-

sels airport and subway that killed 31 people and wounded 270.

“We don’t have to be proud about what happened,” Justice Minister Koen Geens said of the government’s failures to halt the attacks. “We perhaps did things we should not have done.”

Less than a mile from the bombed subway station, European justice and home ministers held an emergency meeting where they condemned the “terrorist acts” as “an attack on our open, democratic society.” They also urged the European parliament to adopt an agreement allowing authorities to exchange airport passenger data.

A manhunt continued for one of the Brussels airport attackers who was recorded on a surveillance video and had fled the scene.

Belgian prosecutors said the raids Thursday night targeted central Brussels, Jette and the Schaerbeek neighborhood, where police earlier had found a huge stash of explosives and bomb-making material in an apartment used by the Brus-

sels attackers.

Prosecutors declined to comment on reports from Belgian state broadcaster RTBF and France’s Le Monde and BFM television that a fifth attacker also may be at large: A man seen on surveillance cameras in the Brussels metro carrying a large bag alongside one of the suicide bombers. It is not clear whether that man was killed in the attack or is a fugitive.

Authorities drew a line between the Brussels bombings and the Nov. 13 attacks that left 130 dead in Paris.

Both appeared to have been carried out by the same Belgium-based Islamic State cell.

Prosecutors have said at least four people were involved in the Brussels bloodshed, including brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui, identified as suicide bombers.

European security officials identified another suicide bomber as Najim Laachraoui, a suspected bombmaker for the Paris attacks.

Khalid El Bakraoui blew himself up on the train, while Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Laachraoui died in the airport.

WASHINGTON – Bernie Sanders may be drawing thousands of people to his rallies and raising millions of dollars online, but increasingly he’s also having to make the case that his campaign isn’t a lost cause.

Sanders is favored over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in this weekend’s contests in Washington state, Hawaii and Alaska. The Vermont senator also points to April contests in Wisconsin and New York, and California’s June 7 primary, as elections where he could cut into her wide lead in delegates who will decide the Democratic nomination.

That lead, however, is more than 300 pledged delegates – roughly about double the margin that then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama held over Clinton during the 2008 primaries. It’s math that’s forced Sanders to defend his path to victory amid whispers he should drop out.

“There’s some mythology going around that we can’t win this election – that is mythology,” Sanders thundered Wednesday at a Los Angeles rally.

Sanders’ overwhelming victories in Tuesday’s caucuses in Idaho and Utah helped him offset a loss in Arizona, where he campaigned extensively but failed to win more than 40 percent of the vote. He netted about 20 more delegates than Clinton in the three states, but he ended the night still far behind Clinton in the overall delegate count.

Once a major longshot, Sanders has pushed Clinton on policy and across the political map, winning a dozen states and challenging Democrats to confront income inequality and big money in politics. His rallies this past week drew more than 17,000 people in Seattle, including those standing in

didate, Clinton’s lead is 1,690-946. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

If Sanders hopes to catch up to Clinton in pledged delegates, he must win 58 percent of those remaining. So far, he’s only winning 43 percent. Overtaking her lead when superdelegates are included would require him to do even better.

“He can’t win, but he’s also the Energizer bunny. He’s not going to stop,” said Democratic strategist Craig Varoga, who is not affiliated with a presidential campaign. “He will keep on going even when it’s mathematically impossible for him to win.”

Clinton often reminds her audiences she has won more votes than any other presidential candidate, including Trump. “I have gotten 2.6 million more votes than Bernie Sanders,” she AP photo said Tuesday in Everett, Washington.

OUR VIEW

Cuba thaw could help state farmers President Barack Obama’s historic visit to Cuba this week not only symbolized a dramatic thawing of diplomatic relations but a hopeful sign for Illinois farmers.

Cuba represents a potential larger market for the commodities Illinois farmers grow, particularly since the island nation, 90 miles off the Florida coast, imports about 85 percent of its food.

With commodity prices down from For the record last year, farmers could use all the “ ... if trade barriers come help they can get to down, there could be about boost demand, and $120 million in farm-related therefore, prices, for trade for Illinois agriculture.” their crops.

We compared market prices for corn, soybeans and wheat to those from a year ago; corn is down 4 percent, soybeans off 7 percent, and wheat is down 12 percent.

U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, an East Moline Democrat, accompanied the Obama delegation to Cuba.

It was her second trip there in six months.

In October, Bustos traveled to Cuba on a trip sponsored by the Illinois Cuba Working Group.

This organization has studied the potential for agricultural trade with Cuba. It believes, if trade barriers come down, there could be about $120 million in farm-related trade for Illinois agriculture.

Compare that with $24 million in Illinois corn and soybean exports to Cuba in 2014, which is a drop from the $66 million in Illinois exports as recently as 2008, and you begin to grasp the opportunity that presents itself.

The total U.S. ag trade with Cuba, by the way, could be more than $1 billion, the working group stated.

After her trip last fall, Bustos said her top priority is to give Cuba access to credit, an advantage granted to other U.S. trading partners. Without it, Cuba, which is not a wealthy country, has to pay cash up front for ag products.

Bustos, a member of the House Agriculture Committee, should use her position, and newly gained experience from her travels, to further promote an expansion of markets for Illinois farmers.

The thaw in U.S.-Cuban relations looks to be good news for agriculture. We look forward to its benefits for farmers and the rural communities where they live.

ANOTHER VIEW

Paul Ryan a bystander to Trumpism Declaring “we shouldn’t accept ugliness as the norm,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, delivered a fine speech Wednesday on the tenor of the nation’s politics, calling on political leaders as well as ordinary Americans to aspire to a more reasonable debate.

Unfortunately, Ryan did not directly confront the chief threat to that goal: GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump. Ryan’s lofty oratory alone will not clean him or his party of Trump’s moral tarnish.

On their own, Ryan’s words were quite commendable. He argued the business of political leaders was to propose policies and put the quality of their ideas to the test. He warned against “playing to your anxieties” or “playing the identity politics of ‘our base’ and ‘their base.’ ” He said politicians should not “resort to scaring you,” and that Americans should not presume those who disagree with them do

so in bad faith. He also admitted he was wrong to write off a large piece of the country as “takers” in the 2012 presidential election.

Unfortunately, the nation’s political discourse has deteriorated considerably since 2012.

There may be many reasons for this, including large structural and demographic forces to which politicians respond but over which they have limited control.

Yet there is little doubt Trump has not only exploited emerging divisions but also enthusiastically pried them open.

While Ryan warns against playing identity politics and appealing to people’s anxieties, Trump this week continued to exploit fear of Muslims and illegal immigrants, calling to “close up our borders,” warning immigrants “could be ISIS” and arguing, with scant evidence, the Belgium terrorist attack might have been prevented if Western authorities had tortured a captured extremist.

While Ryan calls for focusing on substance, Trump has run a uniquely substanceless campaign, telling us Monday his solution to inner-city poverty was “giving them spirit.” While Ryan attacks gutter politics, Trump defended his comments on the size of his hands and other organs by saying he “had to do it” because Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, “started it.”

Given the gaping divergence between Ryan and Trump on essential civic values, it is a wonder these two men remain in the same party. It is more than a wonder – it is a shame – Ryan has not repudiated Trump and promised to oppose him. Doing so would have made clear Ryan puts the principles he advanced before partisan loyalty and political calculation, where they firmly belong. Instead, Ryan continues to be another not-so-innocent bystander as his party slides toward Trumpism.

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 Washington Post

VIEWS Scott Reeder and Madigan is not to be taken lightly.

They both practice realpolitik, which more or less translates in Springfield to: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

That hand of fellowship can be extended no matter how flawed that new “friend” is. Neither Dunkin nor McCann are the kind of men folks from either party should feel comfortable snuggling up to.

The last time I spoke to Dunkin was last month in the Capitol rotunda moments after the governor delivered his budget address. He was trying to explain to me how his alliance with the governor was resulting in the state spending more to help people in his neighborhood, but it was hard to hear him because dozens of people were standing around him screaming, “traitor.”

McCann claimed to be a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. The problem is he never went to boot camp or spent a day in uniform. When pressed by a reporter with the State Journal-Register, he claimed he signed up but got hurt in a construction accident before he was supposed to show up for boot camp. He hasn’t produced any evidence that he did that much. Regardless, Sam, good intentions don’t

equate to actual service.

It is the children of this nation’s working class who far too often become casualties in its wars.

I couldn’t help but think of the union men and women who walked door-to-door for McCann. Too often, they or their sons and daughters fought in Iraq or Afghanistan, their fathers before them in Vietnam.

Were these union men and women holding their noses as they campaigned for this pretender?

Earlier this month I ran into a friend who is a union leader, and I mentioned McCann’s military claims.

He sputtered and finally said, “Well, politics attracts people like that. You know that, don’t you, Scott?”

Yes, sadly I do, but because of this, rank-and-file union members became bit players in the grander scheme of realpolitik.

Of course, Republicans were no better in their backing of Dunkin. I’ve watched Dunkin’s antics for more than a decade, and I’ve cringed.

I once saw him extend his middle fingers to the entire House seconds after more than 100 of his colleagues voted against one of his bills.

When that many people vote “no,” they aren’t just showing contempt for the legislation but for the legislator.

Dunkin has had it happen to him at least three times.

Madigan’s political machine poured forth its wrath, bringing up decades-old allegations of domestic

abuse. Although Dunkin never was convicted, the assertions are troubling. Oddly enough, those blemishes on Dunkin’s record didn’t bother Madigan – during the preceding decade – when election after election he supported Dunkin.

And Republicans donors were lining up to help Dunkin’s campaign.

They liked Dunkin not for his character or decadelong voting record.

They embraced him for his willingness to deny Madigan a crucial vote on a veto override.

Did they hold their noses when they wrote their checks? It doesn’t matter. They too became players in this game of realpolitik.

The most telling thing about Dunkin and McCann is that I never heard one of their colleagues in their own caucuses come to their defense.

Not once.

Last week, McCann won, and Dunkin lost.

Battles have been waged, but the war is far from over.

These primary battles are just a foreshadowing of what portends to be a brutal November general election where voters will receive lessons of their own in realpolitik.

Bill Clinton gaffe reveals a Hillary Clinton strength

By CARTER ESKEW

Special to The Washington Post Michael Kinsley once said, “A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.”

I was reminded of that when I read Bill Clinton recently told voters they should support his wife “if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that.”

The Clinton campaign instantly went into “cleanup-in-Aisle-7” mode and clarified the former president was referring to the Republican obstructionism of the past eight years, not any failures of the Barack Obama presidency. This hardly qualifies as a controversy, especially at a time when the grim reality of the world once again intrudes on the inanity of

our politics, but there is truth in the ex-president’s gaffe nonetheless.

Perhaps no president could have dented the bulwark of Republican obstructionism in the past eight years, but a selling point for Hillary Clinton should be she is pragmatic and persistent and will work the levers of power with perhaps less grace, but more skill than the current president.

In other words, she should say she may not be the most agile of politicians, but she’s a seasoned fighter who knows how to charm, cajole and compromise her way to progress.

No matter how many times you knock her down, she will get back up with another idea and path to making the country better. As has been noted by many, even those who support him, Obama lacks these qualities. He excels at laying out a vision for a proposal, if

you happen, as I do, to already agree with him. When rebuffed, he rightly blames the Republicans, but then, too often, he gives up and tries to impose his will unilaterally through the impermanence of executive order.

So I think this is the truth buried in Bill Clinton’s gaffe: Hillary Clinton has the persistence and insider skills to make Washington work better. This message doesn’t fit very well with the angry, outsider, rap-rhythm of the current campaign, but it might grow in appeal as we get closer to actually electing a president who will have to confront, among other things, a very dangerous international situation.

And, as Bill Clinton knows very well, to quote another political cliché (attributed to Mario Cuomo): “You campaign in poetry; you govern in prose.”

SPRINGFIELD – Imagine a place where the allies of a free-market Republican governor spend millions of dollars to help a big-spending Democrat and where government labor unions contribute a fortune to aid a self-described tea party Republican.

Welcome to the bizarre world of Illinois politics.

Last week, the campaigns of two flawed men became proxy wars between Gov. Bruce Rauner and House Speaker Michael Madigan.

Labor unions have spent more than $500,000 this year to help Republican Sen. Sam McCann, a downstate social conservative from Plainview who dared defy Rauner on a key vote that would have stripped the governor of much of his power in negotiating with state government’s largest labor union.

Legislative Democrats cheered on McCann. Rauner fumed.

Meanwhile, in the other legislative chamber, Rauner’s allies spent nearly $3 million toward helping the campaign of Ken Dunkin, a liberal Chicago Democrat with a long history of spending taxpayer dollars with abandon. But, hey, he laid low when Madigan needed him the most to override the governor’s veto of – you guessed it – the measure to strip the governor of his labor negotiating powers.

Rauner loved him for it. Madigan seethed.

The wrath of men such as Rauner

Doing business in different places creates financial hurdles

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – As small companies expand their business into more towns, cities and states, that growth often brings higher expenses from taxes and other government obligations.

Many companies find they have new fees to pay or must comply with requirements like mandatory paid sick leave.

They may have to collect sales tax on the goods or services they sell – taxes that often differ from place to place. There’s also the expense of hiring staffers, accountants, lawyers and consultants to handle the administrative chores, including keeping track of frequently changing laws.

In many municipalities, companies must obtain a business license and pay a fee to operate. Mike Patton’s flooring company, DSB Plus, does business in about 50 municipalities in the San Francisco Bay area, costing it about $5,000 a year in licensing fees. Many of the fees are based on a company’s revenues and go up as business gets better, so Patton’s license expenditures went up 20 percent in 2015 from the previous year.

“It has just been a slow constant drip of erosion as business gets more costly,” Patton says.

Before companies start doing business in new locations, they need to understand the legal and financial requirements, said John W. Sullivan III, a tax attorney based in New York. For example, working in a new state may require a company to register with the secretary of state; not doing so can mean thousands of dollars in penalties. Or, sending an employee to do work in a town just over the state line could require a business to start collecting sales tax or pay income tax. Often, business owners don’t know what their new obligations are, Sullivan says.

“You want to be having a conversation with someone who has expertise,” he says.

A look at some financial issues companies that work in multiple locations can encounter:

SALES TAX HEADACHES

The customers for Dan Micic’s medical supply company are primarily nursing schools, more than 500 across the country. That requires Chicago-based Medical Shipment to comply with varying sales tax laws in the states, counties, cities and other municipalities. Although

AP Photo

Mike Patton, CEO of DSB Plus flooring company, is interviewed on March 8 in his warehouses in Milpitas, Calif. nursing schools don’t pay sales tax because they’re educational institutions, there’s still paperwork relating to their tax-exempt status. It’s handled by Micic’s bookkeeper, accountant and an outside consultant; Medical Shipment paid nearly $30,000 in 2015 to comply with all sales tax laws.

“That’s higher than my health insurance costs,” Micic said.

Sales taxes are particularly problematic because there are an estimated 10,000 jurisdictions that charge taxes, and governments don’t all tax the same goods.

For example, clothing is taxed in many states, but isn’t in others or only garments priced above a specified amount such as $110 are taxed.

LawnStarter, which helps people contract for lawn care services, pays licensing fees and sales tax in metropolitan areas in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Washington, D.C. Sales tax can be a moving target; a municipality might change its tax, or what it taxes, but won’t necessarily notify everyone who does business there.

“Our office manager and our accountant have a heck of a time keeping track of it,” said Ryan Farley, chief operating officer of the Austin, Texas, based company. It also subscribes to services that watch out for sales tax changes.

TAXED HERE, TAXED THERE

Ashley Hunter’s insurance company, HM Risk Group, must pay income taxes in each of the 15 states where it operates.

She relies on her accountants to handle the paperwork, which can vary widely

from one state to the next. Hunter describes the emails from state tax authorities as endless; when she gets an email, she immediately forwards it to one of her accountants.

“I just can’t stress out over taxes.

It’s the last thing I need to be thinking about,” said Hunter, whose company is based in Austin, Texas.

Hunter pays her accountant more than $4,000 a year to keep up with the roughly $10,000 in tax she pays every quarter.

PAID SICK LEAVE

A growing number of states and cities require employers to give employees sick pay based on the hours they work. Even if a company is based outside a city that mandates sick time, if employees work in the city – for example, on a construction job – their hours must be tracked. And the requirements, including paperwork and the hours employees must work to accrue sick time, vary from one jurisdiction to another.

Mark Carpenter’s roofing company is based in Tualitin, Oregon, but does work in nearby Portland; Seattle and Tacoma, Washington; and California. Each place has its own sick time law and requirements.

“We may work only 25 hours in an area in a year, but if we do want to make sure we are perfect,” said Carpenter, owner of Columbia Roofing & Sheet Metal. He has 60 employees, and has a full-time human resources manager and a controller who work on keeping track of sick time.

“It is next to impossible to comply with all laws,” Carpenter said.

WEST DUNDEE – With its new Huntley hospital about to open, Crystal Lakebased Centegra Health System soon will expand other health services into northeastern Kane County.

Centegra is close to opening its fourth immediate care center, renovating four vacant suites inside the Tartans Crossing shopping center along Huntley Road in West Dundee into a 10,000-square-foot facility that will provide primary health services to patients in the area, said Matt Carlen, vice president of health and wellness.

The local health care provider looked at ways to provide additional services to people coming from various areas around Huntley to use Centegra’s new 128-bed hospital, which is scheduled to open in August.

“The goal always is to look at the community around us and where the needs are,” Carlen said. “We saw a definite need for immediate care in the area.”

Historically, Centegra has focused its services on McHenry County. The move into West Dundee puts the provider permanently into northeastern Kane County.

It does operate a clinic inside Sun City Huntley, which is located in Kane along

the border with McHenry County.

The new center – set to open late April – will provide numerous services, including walk-in appointments, physical therapy, sports medicine, X-rays and other medical imagining. Centegra also will expand its occupational health services, providing pre-employment health screenings for employers located closer to West Dundee, Carlen said.

Centegra already operates similar immediate care centers in Crystal Lake, Huntley and McHenry.

Carlen said the group started renovations on Centegra Health Center – West Dundee in December, having to do a complete buildout.

Samsung to give up authoritarian ways, emulate startups

By YOUKYUNG LEE

The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest maker of phones, memory chips and television sets, plans to revamp its authoritarian, top-down corporate culture to become more like a lean startup as it copes with sluggish demand and growing competition.

The company said Thursday its staff pledged to reduce hierarchical practices, unnecessary meetings and excessive working hours in a “Startup Samsung” ceremony held at its headquarters in Suwon, South Korea.

The first step in this new culture of flexibility? Requiring all its executives to sign a statement promising to scrap the company’s traditional authoritarian ways.

Samsung is searching for new business strategies as a father-to-son leadership transition looms. Lee Jae-yong, 48, is expected to succeed his ailing father, Lee Kun-hee, at a time when Samsung’s mainstay semiconductor and phone businesses face intensifying competition from Chinese rivals. Samsung has its eye on expanding into health care and pharmaceuticals, but has lagged Silicon Valley in embracing trends such as autonomous driving and artificial intelligence.

The company says it will announce in June exactly how it plans to reorganize its workers and eliminate red tape. It said new vacation systems would allow employees to spend more time with their families and take breaks for self-improvement.

“By starting to reform the corporate culture, it means we will execute quick-

Samsung says it has been trying to reform its very Korean corporate culture to suit its identity as a global company and to encourage more creativity and grassroots input from workers. Like most Korean companies, its management style tends to mirror the authoritarian ways of South Korea’s past, when a military dictator ruled the country.

But analysts said Samsung faces a huge challenge in leveling a seniority-based corporate hierarchy that is decades old. Some suggested the campaign also might be aimed at identifying underperforming workers and trimming the company’s managerial ranks to cut costs.

“South Korea has a military and seniority-based culture. Will that be eliminated simply by removing Samsung’s ranking system? It will never happen,” said Kim Young-woo, an analyst at SK Securities.

Kim said the measures are a prelude to layoffs. Older workers at Samsung who were promoted based on their seniority would be forced to leave the company early as younger talent moves up the ladder based on merits. “It means that (Samsung) will have a slimmer labor force,” Kim said.

Samsung’s regimented, authoritarian ways may have helped it quickly catch up with Sony and other Japanese manufacturers, but they also have hindered recruitment of top talent. That has been a liability as the company competes with Silicon Valley firms that allow workers more independence and flexibility.

Last year, 26,000 Samsung employees participated in online debates, pitching in ideas on how to reform its personnel system. Some have been allowed to build products or launch services outside their original job descriptions at internal Samsung “startups.” The company also introduced flexible working hours last year though current employees said work hours are still too long.

OCULUS’ VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET TO LAUNCH

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO – When the Oculus Rift debuts next week, it won’t do so with a star-studded launch party or massive marketing blitz worthy of a new video game console or smartphone.

Instead, thousands of the virtual reality doodads will simply arrive on the door steps of early adopters willing to spend $600 for the immersive technology.

Oculus’ founder Palmer Luckey kick-started interest in modern-day VR four years ago with the introduction of a clunky headset he crafted from smartphone parts. The gizmo has evolved into a head-mounted display capable of transporting wearers to virtual worlds, without the same level of nausea-inducing side effects that plagued VR inventions in the 1990s.

Bill Murray shares some favorite poems

Warner Bros. Entertainment via AP

Ben Affleck as Batman (left) and Henry Cavill as Superman are shown in a scene from, “Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice.”

‘Batman V. Superman’ signals a new dawn for DC Comics NEW YORK – “Batman v Superman” may be a massive movie – a $250 million globe-trotting blockbuster with a pulverizing marketing assault – but it’s just the opening salvo of a much larger campaign that aims to restore DC Comics to prominence in Marvel-dominated multiplexes.

It has not gotten off to a great start. Before audiences rush this weekend to see the superhero showdown of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” critics treated moviegoers to a smackdown of their own. The poor response – “godawful” was one of the harsher but not uncommon judgments – may mean little to opening weekend box office. But it suggests “Batman v Superman” may not be the ideal flagship for a new armada of DC adaptations.

“This movie is going to make money almost certainly. But more important is how people are leaving the movie theater,” says Cowen & Co. senior media analyst Doug Creutz. “If they walk out feeling kind of ‘eh,’ it’s a problem.”

That’s because “Batman v Superman” is meant to trigger a new world order for Warner Bros. and DC Comics. The studio home to DC characters since 1969, Warner Bros. was once the leader in bringing superheroes to the big screen, from the Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies to Tim Burton’s Batman movies to Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy.

Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman” is the first of 10 films planned by Warner Bros. and DC for the next five years. And it’s the first film to bring DC characters into a single “extended universe,” an approach modeled on Marvel’s “Avengers”-centered success. “Batman v Superman” may be a prize-fight showdown, but its undercard players (including Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the Flash) are being teased for future installments.

NEW YORK – Bill Murray has turned up everywhere from bachelor parties to baseball games, but his latest surprise has a more literary side: He shares some favorite poems in the April issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, which comes out Friday.

The actor is featured on a page dedicated to National Poetry Month, offering brief asides on works by Galway Kinnell, Lucille Clifton, Thomas Lux and Naomi Shihab Nye. For Clifton’s inspirational “what the mirror said,” Murray comments, “everybody needs an ‘Attagirl!’ now and then.” Murray also includes Kinnell’s “Oatmeal,” with its reference to sharing a meal with the late John Keats.

Hollywood lines up against religious exemption bill

ATLANTA – Hollywood actors and producers say they will take projects elsewhere if Georgia’s governor fails to veto a bill protecting same-sex marriage opponents.

A letter sent Thursday to Gov. Nathan Deal by the Human Rights Campaign includes actors and producers like Kristin Chenoweth, Anne Hathaway, Julianne Moore, Rob Reiner and Harvey Weinstein.

Georgia’s tax credits have drawn the film and TV industry to the states.

The bill prevents government burden of religious belief or penalty against faithbased organizations, including refusal to

serve or hire someone. It protects clergy who won’t perform gay marriages and people who won’t attend a wedding. Deal has until May 3 to act. He opposed earlier versions but hasn’t commented on the final bill.

CBS, ‘Young and Restless’ lead Daytime Emmy nods

NEW YORK – CBS led with 77 nominations overall while its daytime drama “The Young and the Restless” led with 27 nods when nominations were announced Thursday for the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy awards.

TV’s remaining trio of soap operas, “General Hospital” (24 nominations), “The Bold and the Beautiful” (23 nominations) and “Days of Our Lives” (16 nominations) were the other series with the most potential trophies.

“The Young and the Restless” joined CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful,” NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” and ABC’s “General Hospital” among nominees for best soap opera.

Best actress nominees for daytime drama were Kassie DePaiva and Mary Beth Evans of “Days of Our Lives,” Finola Hughes and Maura West of “General Hospital” and Tracey E. Bregman of “The Young and the Restless.”

Best actor nominees for a soap were Anthony Geary and Tyler Christopher of “General Hospital,” and Christian LeBlanc, Justin Hartley and Kristoff St. John of “The Young and the Restless.”

Singer Meghan Trainor poses for a portrait on March 9 in New York to promote her new hit single, “No.” One Pilots and Pitbull, said creating the tune was like opening Pandora’s box.

The other songs “were very great songs, but ‘No’ was really the catalyst for the rest of the album,” Reed said.

Of the songs on her new album, 22-year-old Trainor says with a laugh: “Songs like that wouldn’t exist if L.A.

Reid didn’t push me till I wanted to cry.”

The new album, “Thank You,” will be released May 13. Trainor has taken a more contemporary vibe compared with her 2015 debut, “Title,” which featured the hits “Like I’m Gonna Lose You,” “Dear Future Husband,” “Lips Are Movin’ ” and the game-changer

Change your diet Reduce your cancer risk SPONSORED BY

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD

SM

By Diane Krieger Spivak One in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in the United States are affected by cancer.

It is possible, however, to reduce your risks for cancer and other diseases by making a few simple changes to your diet.

One simple change is to drink more water. Centegra Health System recommends that people drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

“None of us really grew up assuming water as really being in the top hit parade,” said Terrence Bugno, MD, FACR, DABIM, independent radiation oncologist on staff at Centegra Health System.

“It was milk, it was coffee, it was juice, it was pop. Water was usually taken with medications or to rinse your mouth. Nobody ever really thought about water’s dietary importance, even if more than 75 percent of the body is actually water.

“So, the whole concepts of looking at nature, of hydrating the body with water, becomes the cornerstone for any

lifestyle change or modification,” Bugno said.

Another change is diet or nutrition.

“That is the recognition that over time many of our habits that we grew up with — adding a lot of salt and condiments on our foods; eating mostly processed foods — have now been recognized to maybe have some downside effects in terms of toxins in the food, possibly leading to problems with metabolism and with the immune system. It ultimately leads to the system’s breakdown or degeneration,” said Bugno. “So, there has been a move toward getting the best, most fresh local produce and foods you can. Eat the rainbow. Eat a wide variety.”

If you have questions about how to reduce your cancer risk through diet, talk to your doctor about the food choices that are best for you.

NEW YORK – When playing songs from her upcoming sophomore album for her record label, Meghan Trainor heard this word from L.A. Reid: “No.” Reid, the veteran executive and Epic Records president, was referring to her first single. She didn’t have one, he said.

Angry and upset, Trainor called producer Ricky Reed. They had collaborated on some of the songs she’d played for Reid, and in a day, they created “No,” the anthemic, beat-driven, Destiny’s Child-influenced hit that’s a departure from her signature doo-wop pop sound.

Reid’s thoughts: “Yes.” More like yassssss!

“I wrote ‘No,’ and he was like, ‘Give me five of these.’ And we wrote five more songs,” Trainor said in a recent interview. “It was such a relief, like I could sleep at night knowing I finally found the single. That’s like the biggest stress for an artist, especially (for) album No. 2.”

“No,” which has already peaked at No. 11 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, isn’t about L.A. Reid. It’s a song about boys and female empowerment. Reed, frontman for Wallpaper and a producer behind songs for Jason Derulo, Twenty

“All About That Bass.”

The new songs are more confident and sleek, a reflection of Trainor, not just the singer, but also the person. In her “No” music video, which debuted this week, Trainor trades her colorful, bright backdrops, buttoned-up ensembles and schoolgirl dance moves for sexy gyrations, tighter clothes and an overall darker setting – in the vein of late ’90s pop music videos.

“I’m learning (about) myself even more. I’m learning what clothes are comfortable and what I love and what makeup and hair (I like),” said Trainor, who has gone from being a blonde to redhead. “We changed everything and I’m very comfortable and all this promo isn’t so scary anymore.”

Reed called Trainor’s new album eclectic. He said it includes soul, gospel, funk, soca and Nashville, Tennessee, influences.

Trainor said it will include Kevin Kadish, who co-wrote and produced “All About the Bass” and the majority of her debut album.

“We wrote similar to our old stuff, which I think was the problem when I sent this to my label like, ‘This is dope.’

And they were like, ‘That’s what they expect. You’re not shocking us yet,’ ” she said.

Kids Shuddle

Ride-hailing apps get children around town when parents are busy

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Sacha Simmons used to dread taking a taxi to her high school or someplace else to hang out with her teenage friends when her parents weren’t around to give her a ride. Sometimes, the cab drivers wouldn’t show up or, when they did, they were rude or haggled with her about the fare.

Those frustrations disappeared a few months ago when her parents introduced her to Shuddle, a ride-hailing service that caters to youngsters who need a lift when mom and dad are too busy to drive.

“I had some pretty bad experiences with cabs,” Simmons, 16, said. “Shuddle is less of a hassle and I feel safe with their system. The driver knows who I am and it’s more secure.”

Shuddle is among a crop of California services providing rides to 8- to 16-year-old kids who need to get to school, a sporting event or a social activity. It recently introduced ShuddleMe, an app that lets the kids book the ride themselves within an hour of when the service is needed.

Before this, parents had to arrange for the car, and do so at least a day in advance. ShuddleMe still requires parental approval.

Besides Shuddle, kid-friendly ride-hailing options include HopSkipDrive and Boost, an experimental service backed by car maker Mercedes-Benz. Both those services require rides to be booked at least a day in advance.

These alternatives are seizing an opportunity created by better known ride-hailing services such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, which all have policies against giving rides to minors who aren’t accompanied by an adult.

Shuddle charges a $9 monthly membership fee, and its fares are about 15 percent higher than Uber’s for comparable trips. The membership fee and surcharge help pay for background checks of Shuddle’s drivers.

The company is trying to avoid the complaints that have bedeviled Uber about inadequately screened drivers.

In the most extreme cases, Uber drivers have faced allegations of sexual assault and other unseemly conduct.

Unlike Uber, Shuddle routinely

Screens from ShuddleMe, an app that lets kids book a ride themselves within an hour of when the service is needed. interviews prospective drivers face to face. Its background checks scan courts and other local law enforcement agencies for serious crimes and even minor infractions committed in the areas where they have lived. They also must either be parents or have previous experience working with kids as nannies, baby sitters, coaches or nurses.

Parents can track the progress of their kids’ rides, and Shuddle says its own staff also monitors what is happening in the cars on each trip.

“We go above and beyond because we want everyone to feel comfortable

and confident about what we are doing,” said Shuddle CEO Nick Allen, who previously co-founded Sidecar.

“We are safer than the neighborhood car pool.”

Shuddle doesn’t run drivers’ fingerprints through the FBI’s criminal database, however. Allen doesn’t consider it to be as effective at flagging problem drivers as the service’s other safeguards.

Who’s Driving You?, a group representing taxi, limousine and paratransit services, contends Shuddle is asking for trouble by skipping the fingerprint check.

“They are providing rides for the most precious cargo, so why shouldn’t they be doing even more to screen their drivers?” said Dave Sutton, a Who’s Driving You? spokesman.

Paige Simmons, Sacha’s mother, is happy with Shuddle so far. The service sends her photos of both the driver and the car that will be transporting either Sacha or her 15-yearold son Jay. Shuddle also texts her when her children have reached their destination.

“They give me all the information I need to feel comfortable,” Simmons said.

I knew she was right. I should be able to do it! But I couldn’t. I felt sick, alone and afraid. I stopped talking.

“Come On Vamanos,” I heard Dora sing again. Two minutes from strapping my baby girl to my chest and jumping out the window, something caught in my chest.

“Help,” I heard myself say.

I ran to the phone and called my doctor. Within the hour, I had a referral for a prenatal psychiatrist. She was the only person in the universe who seemed to have any idea what I was going through. She prescribed medication, and while I worried about what might happen to my baby if I took it, I knew what would happen if I didn’t.

She assured me she was going to work in tandem with my OBGYN to take care of the baby growing inside me.

Then she looked me in the eye, “But right now, someone needs to take care of you.” Those words stopped me cold.

“Because if there’s no Mama, there’s no baby.”

Up to that moment, I was determined to march my way through hell, thinking only of the baby, because I thought that was the sacrifice motherhood required. I trembled as I lifted the pills to my lips, took a deep breath and chose to live.

I saw a therapist, a psychiatrist

or my regular OBGYN every week. I didn’t feel good or even remotely like myself until the day my son was born, a perfect 8½ pounds, three months after my breakdown. I felt instant relief, and we nicknamed our little boy The Happiest Baby Alive. I stayed on my medication, and in the hospital they screened me for postpartum depression, while I smiled through the questions no one ever thought to ask while I was pregnant.

I know a woman who got sick with breast cancer when she was pregnant.

Before she started chemotherapy, people crowded around her, not just with food, but to hold her hand while she cried and worried about having to make such a gut wrenching decision.

“Can you imagine?” a mutual acquaintance asked. “Yes, I can.”

“But you had a choice,” the woman told me. “She didn’t.”

No one brings you casseroles and holds your hand when your brain gets sick, or calls you a survivor if you come out on the other side. But I also am a mother who made some harrowing decisions and fought desperately to take care of myself and my kids. I’m not ashamed I took medication when I was pregnant. It saved my life. My only regret is I didn’t have the wisdom to take care better care of myself sooner.

Field of Interest Funds “great option” for donors SPONSORED BY

Recently, New York City health officials set a goal to screen every pregnant woman and new mother for maternal depression. It’s estimated 1 in 10 New York women suffer from it, and making screening part of routine care has power to save lives. When I was pregnant, I suffered in silence, until it was almost too late.

“Come on, Vamanos,” Dora the Explorer sang to my toddler, plopped in front of the TV, hoping she wouldn’t notice her pregnant mommy couldn’t stop sobbing. As a 30-year-old mom, in Queens, six months pregnant with a second child, I should have been happy. I should have been able to sit cross-legged with my daughter, building block towers and reading stories.

Instead, I spent my time throwing up, pulling out clumps of hair and cutting my arm with a knife. My husband traveled regularly, working long hours, and I often was alone with my toddler.

As Dora blared, I felt the baby kick, walked over to the window and violently pulled it open. We never had the required window guard installed, so I was able to pull it open wide enough to crawl, or dive, out. Then I heard a still small voice say, “Jump.” I stared at

the storm outside, matching the storm within, and finally for the first time in six months, felt peace. I looked over at my daughter, and I knew she needed to come with me. This voice, not a voice I could hear, but one I could feel in my heart, told me that the only way to save us was to bury us. Put her in the Ergo and jump. “Come on, Vamanos.”

I had struggled with my mood during my first pregnancy, but nothing like this. When I first felt myself slipping, I reached for my bag of Happy Tricks. I posted cheery pictures to our family blog. I went for walks outside, cooked dinner, kept a gratitude journal and drank kale smoothies. None of it helped. Although my husband adored me and was a terrific father, he had no idea what to do. He brought home cupcakes and took care of bedtime, waiting for these (anything but) normal mood swings to pass.

I couldn’t sleep. I felt anxious all day and sick from the pregnancy. Every time I looked at my daughter, I felt overwhelmed by guilt that I wasn’t the kind of mother she deserved. I was convinced I had ruined her beyond repair.

It was difficult to talk about what was happening, but I didn’t want to suffer alone. I called my sister who told me, “Motherhood is all about sacrifice.

You can do it! It’s only nine months.”

Weather affects arthritis symptoms Dear Dr. K: I swear my arthritis pain gets worse on cold, wet days. My husband is skeptical. Is it possible the weather could affect my symptoms?

Dear Reader: I hear from my patients all the time the weather affects their arthritis symptoms. But is it true? If so, how does that work? And is there any scientific evidence to explain it?

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Robert Shmerling. He is clinical chief of rheumatology at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He noted people have been asking these questions for many years without finding good answers. Here’s what we do know.

There are many potential weather factors that could affect arthritis symptoms, including humidity, temperature, precipitation and barometric pressure. Studies have examined the effects of these weather factors, but the results have been inconclusive.

In some cases, they were contradictory.

Two recent studies have shed more light on this question. Both found the weather does indeed have an impact on arthritis symptoms.

In the first study, Dutch researchers enrolled 222 people with osteoarthritis of the hip. They compared their reported symptoms with a variety of weather variables.

They found over a two-year period, pain and stiffness were slightly worse when barometric (air) pressure and humidity were higher.

The second study included more than 800 adults with osteoarthritis of the hip, knee or hands. In this study, changes in weather did not affect symptoms, but higher humidity was linked with increasing pain and stiffness. This was especially true in colder weather.

Now what? In other words, how is it helpful to know if specific characteristics of the

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff weather have a clear impact on arthritis pain and stiffness? After all, it’s not as if all patients can pick up and move to a more arthritis-friendly climate.

Information is useful even if it doesn’t immediately lead to a new treatment or prevention strategy. For example, identifying a link between a particular type of weather and joint symptoms might help us understand the causes and mechanisms of arthritis symptoms. And that might lead to better treatments or strategies.

It also might help to understand why some people feel worse in certain circumstances while others notice no change (or even feel better) in those same environments.

Those results could help us understand subtle differences between types of arthritis or the ways individuals respond to them.

Your question also reminds me of something I’ve said before in response to other questions. When studies show something is true for the average patient, it does not necessarily mean it’s true for every patient.

Their bodies might be different in some way we do not yet understand.

Even if the studies I mentioned did not find the weather affected the arthritis pain of the average patient, I’d believe a person – like you – who swears the weather affects her arthritis pain. No one can know your pain like you can, and no doctor should dismiss it.

• Friday, March 25, 2016

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY 39 and have been married for nine Jeanne years. Three Phillips years into our marriage, I got sick and lost a lot of weight. I now turn heads everywhere I go. All except the head I want to turn – my husband’s.

He drives a truck, and all he does is talk to and sext larger, unattractive older women. He has gone to counseling and 12-step meetings, and I’ve told him to get out numerous times.

Nothing has helped.

I’m now getting to the point I feel I can work again. Is it wrong for me to be making an exit plan for when my son from a previous marriage turns 18? – Turns The Wrong Heads Dear Turns: If I told you it was wrong, would you stop doing it and remain in an unhappy marriage? I doubt it. If your husband is attracted to other women and acting on it, you absolutely should prepare yourself for the day you declare your independence. It’s far more sensible than being unprepared.

Dear Abby: My brother got married a year ago after dating for less than a year. His wife started calling my parents Mom and Dad from the get-go. I didn’t realize how much it would bother me, but it does and, frankly, I resent her for it.

I’m very close to my parents, and I view our bond as sacred. To me, Mom and Dad aren’t names you use lightly, to be cute or as a term of endearment. The relationship is earned and unique.

I would never think of calling my husband’s parents Mom and Dad, and I don’t feel I’m offending them by not doing so. Is there a proper way to discuss this with my brother and sisterin-law without hurting feelings or creating tension? – Annoyed Sister-In-Law Dear Annoyed: Calm down and curb the attitude, because if you say anything you will appear to be jealous and petty. What your sister-in-law is doing is very common. Regardless of what she calls your parents, you are still their daughter and she is not. If they didn’t like her calling them Mom and Dad, I’m sure they would let her know they preferred she choose something else.

Dear Abby: I have been in a relationship with a really great guy for five years. He is wonderful to my son and treats him as his own.

The problem is, I don’t think I am capable of truly being in love with anyone. I care deeply about him – as much as I am capable of loving.

My question is, would it be unfair to him if I agree to marry him knowing he loves me more than I love him? – To Marry Or Not To Marry Dear T.M. Or N.T.M.: I’m not sure many couples love each other equally. More often one loves the other more. If you think you can be a good wife to this man, then marry him. Obviously, you have a high degree of compatibility, or he wouldn’t be considering marriage to you.

SPRING GROVE HUGE ESTATE SALE Need H.S. English Tutor, Must Know the Toulmin Method

Bjorn Borg said, “To win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that’s the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player.”

Many bridge players get nervous when contemplating a slam. But often playing in one is straightforward because you cannot afford (m)any losers.

The main keys for a good slam are fit and controls. To make a grand slam with no fit, you will need most of the 40 high-card points. But with a good fit -- or, even better, a double fit -- you will win more tricks than your combined point-count would suggest. Also, you must know that the opponents cannot immediately defeat your contract.

How do you uncover a double fit? By bidding carefully. What about controls? With (Roman Key Card) Blackwood, often supplemented by control-bidding.

In today’s deal, after South’s one-spade response is raised, he immediately thinks about a slam.

But the diamond king is a big card.

He can find out if partner holds it by rebidding three diamonds. North will think this is a help-suit game-try, and if he has the diamond king, he will probably jump to four spades; but without that card, he will settle for three spades. Here, after hearing four spades, South uses RKCB to learn that North has the spade king and club ace, but not the spade queen.

Against six spades, West leads the heart queen. South wins with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes the diamond king, plays a diamond to his ace, and continues with the diamond queen, discarding dummy’s heart loser. Then he can claim, conceding one trump trick.

ond grade and now are honing their skills to make a run at state.

On another court, Betts is teaching the absolute basics – the rules of the game, how to keep score, the simplest strokes.

Panchapakesan, the defending Fox Valley Conference champion, and the others pitch in lending pointers. He said that working with beginners has improved his game as well.

“When you take the time to teach others, you focus yourself, too, when you think about the little thing that you might not have touched upon before,” Panchapakesan said. “It’s also a team experience. We all grow together.”

After two years, Morris and Smith have settled into tennis. They said the most difficult adjustment was the footwork. With baseball, they were used to hitting off their back foot.

In tennis, most of the time they’re

striking the ball off their front foot.

Not to mention, hitting balls over the fence isn’t valued the same way on the tennis court.

Still, the new players keep coming.

Junior Krish Kamdar is experiencing what Morris and Smith did two season ago. He plays on the golf team in the fall but wanted to add a spring sport.

He said the wrist movement is similar to golf, which helps.

Kamdar still was wearing his running shoes to practices while he waits for his tennis shoes to come in the mail. But he’s still picking up on his new sport, in big and small ways.

“I wasn’t aware when the coach says take a knee everyone takes a knee,” Kamdar said. “I thought he was just pointing to the front people.

We ended up running because I didn’t take a knee.”

At least Kamdar still was wearing his running shoes.

star and Lorenz’s former teammate, gained entrance to Ross last year. Lorenz had Van Vlierbergen help her with the steps to get in.

Lorenz will continue competing in triathlons through the spring and summer, while adding rowing workouts to her triathlon training.

She says her endurance through triathlon training translates well with rowing.

“That’s a huge part,” Lorenz said.

“You’re going for eight minutes and it’s all out, usually with seven other girls in the boat. Just going as hard as you can.”

Lorenz caught the rowing bug last fall. One of her MMTT teammates’ sisters is a rower and invited her to try the workout, and she quickly was hooked.

“My times were pretty good for [the college] tests,” Lorenz said. “I started emailing coaches for where I wanted to go. I visited Michigan, then Wisconsin and Indiana. Those were my top schools. The combination of athletics and academics at Michigan is unprecedented for the schools I looked at.”

The fact that Alex Lorenz has never rowed a boat in water did not dissuade her from pursuing the sport in college.

The Jacobs senior has extensive athletic training, having competed in triathlons for 10 years, but her rowing experience has all been on machines indoors.

Still, Lorenz was smitten with rowing and has shown great potential.

She announced Thursday via Twitter that she would attend Michigan and compete for the Wolverines’ women’s rowing team.

Lorenz will not start on scholarship and will row for Michigan’s novice team the first season, but assistant coach Krystina Sarff hopes Lorenz can advance to one of the varsity boats by her junior season.

If that happens, Lorenz was told she could eventually receive a full rowing scholarship.

“What they’re expecting me to do right now is kind of lead the novice team and Krystina wants to build me

up to get to the varsity level,” Lorenz said. “Once you’re in a varsity boat, you earn your money.”

Lorenz has competed with MMTT triathlon team from Geneva for 10 years, and has run cross country in the fall for Jacobs. The NCAA voted in women’s triathlons as an emerging sport two years ago, but the chances for scholarships are extremely limited.

“The only D-I school to offer money and Alex Lorenz have a triathlon program was Arizona State,” Lorenz said. “I went on an official [visit] there and had to call them and tell them I was going the rowing route.

The combination of athletics and academics at Michigan is unprecedented for the schools I looked at. I got admitted to the business school at Michigan and that was a huge deal.”

Michigan’s Ross School of Business is regarded as one of the best in the nation.

4 NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Top-seeded Kansas tops No. 5 Maryland The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Perry Ellis scored 27 points to match a season high, Wayne Selden Jr. added 19 and top-seeded Kansas topped No. 5 Maryland for a 79-63 NCAA Tournament South Region semifinal victory Thursday night.

The win put the Jayhawks back into the Elite 8 for the first time since 2012.

It took time for the Jayhawks (334) to get going, but once they finally seized the lead late in the first half everything else fell into place for their 17th straight victory. They emerged from the break to make their first six shots and steadily take control behind senior forward Ellis, who made 10 of 17 from the field.

Selden was right there with 7-of-16 shooting to help Kansas earn a berth in Saturday’s regional final against Villanova.

The Terrapins (27-9) dictated the early tempo and briefly engaged in a back-and-forth game with the Jayhawks before eventually falling behind the tournament favorite. Rasheed Sulaimon led Maryland with 18 points.

Landen Lucas added 14 points and 11 rebounds while Frank Mason III had 11 points for Kansas, which outworked Maryland, 43-28, on the glass and outscored the taller Terps, 40-28, in the paint.

Better shooting also helped the Jayhawks, who made 14 of 25 in the second half and finished 29 of 62 from the field (47 percent).

SOUTH REGION No. 2 Villanova 92, No. 3 Miami 69: At

Louisville, Kentucky, the Villanova Wildcats keep looking for a better shot, not content with simply a good look at the basket.

As a result, they’re putting on quite the clinic in the NCAA Tournament with their latest performance putting them into the Elite Eight for the first time since 2009.

Ryan Arcidiacono and Kris Jenkins each scored 21 points and No. 2 seed Villanova never trailed in routing third-seeded Miami. The Wildcats turned in their best shooting performance yet in this tournament, shooting 62.7 percent.

“If any team is shooting the way we’re shooting right now, they’ll easily be the most dangerous team in the country,” Villanova senior forward Daniel Ochefu said. “But hopefully, we’ll keep shooting like that, so we can keep playing the way we are.”

we’ve been in the league. We’ve always been at the top of the Eastern Conference. Right now, it’s a fight.

But when it’s a fight, I think everybody has to man up.”

The good news on the night was the play of Derrick Rose, scored 30 points on 13-for-23 shooting and had his first real dunk of the season, going baseline in the second quarter.

The bad news? Everything else, starting with a defense that continued breaking down far too often.

“I think you’re talking about everybody, coaches included,” Gibson said. “Everybody has got to look at themselves and see what it is they can do better.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with what we have on paper. You can have six guys that are seven feet tall, but if you don’t have the heart, you don’t have the will, you don’t have the energy to go out there and fight for the guy next to you and fight for the right reasons, you won’t succeed.

“The previous years we fought for AP photo each other, we fought for the right New York Knicks’ Kevin Seraphin (1) blocks a shot by reasons. We played hard.”

Those days seem long ago right Chicago Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic (44) during the first half Thursday in New York. about now.

• Friday, March 25, 2016

NEW YORK – After the embarrassing Wednesday home loss to the New York Knicks, Fred Hoiberg said he made it a point to challenge his team in the locker room before boarding the charter to the Big Apple.

Just about 24 hours later and it was not quite the response the firstyear Bulls coach was hoping for.

No energy, no urgency, a faint heartbeat.

And just like that, the lifeless Bulls dropped a second straight game to a now 30-43 New York team, losing at Madison Square Garden, 106-94.

At least one Bulls player had seen enough.

“Hell yeah, I’m embarrassed,” veteran forward Taj Gibson said. “I take pride in wearing this jersey. I love wearing a Bulls jersey, especially what we’ve been through. I take pride in playing for Chicago when I wear that jersey. I try and go out there and play my heart out. And it’s frustrating when we come up short and we look at ourselves when we lose to a – I don’t want to criticize – but trash

teams. Everyone is in the NBA for a reason, but we’re playing against teams that aren’t playing for anything and we’re just laying down.”

The Bulls (36-35) aren’t just laying down lately, they’re flat-out falling down. The loss dropped them 1½ games out of the No. 8 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, trailing idle Detroit.

And with 11 games left to play it would seem there’s still more questions than answers.

“It feels like we’re a target,” Gibson said. “It feels like teams aren’t taking us serious. Teams are more eager to play us. Where it used to be vice versa. They knew we were coming to punch people in the face and keep playing. It’s hard, man. It really eats me up inside. It’s hard to sleep at night knowing that it’s coming down to the wire and our effort isn’t there.

It’s really frustrating.”

Gibson wasn’t the only one in disbelief that the Bulls have put themselves in this position.

“We have to be able to flip the switch,” Jimmy Butler said. “Yeah, it’s frustrating. The majority of us haven’t been in this position since

Bears are Cutler’s team now more than ever

By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@@suntimes.com BOCA RATON, Fla. – A year ago at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s confidence came into question.

Coach John Fox said then that his look into Cutler’s 2014 season told him that his soon-to-be starting quarterback lost his confidence during a year marred by controversies.

The goal was to rebuild it.

It’s apparent that things are different now for Cutler. Team-wise and individually, he is in a much better place, and Fox is a major reason why.

“Some of it was some of the things that happened,” Fox said Wednesday at the NFC coaches breakfast at the Boca Raton Resort. “There was a little bit of an air that I sensed here a year ago that everybody else was OK, but Jay was 5-11.

“Well, that’s not really real. It’s like this year. We were all 6-10. Our signature’s on it, not just one guy’s signature, whether it’s a game, a quarter of the season or the whole season.”

Translation: Fox has Cutler’s back.

Cutler, whom Fox described as the “most pleasant surprise of our team” last year, turned out to be crucial to the culture change under Fox and general manager Ryan Pace.

The changes continue at Halas Hall, but the Bears’ brass was encouraged

Jeffery, Kevin White, Zach Miller and Jeremy Langford is a good start.

“We’re not going to try and put [Cutler] in bad situations, whether it’s a play call or the situation of a game,” Fox said. “We’re not going to do that in player acquisition, either.”

Fox knows how he wants Cutler to play.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase, the Bears’ former offensive coordinator, said Cutler excelled at being patient last season, which was difficult at times for the noted gunslinger. It was in line with Fox’s goals of shortening games and playing complementary football.

Fox doesn’t want Cutler to become AP file photo more of a risk-taker to reach another Bears quarterback Jay Cutler passes the ball against the Detroit Lions during the second level.

Good Jay, Bad Jay The Bears have seen both sides of Jay Cutler since the quarterback made his team debut back in 2009. Cutler’s performance almost got his released after the 2014 season and the QB received a chilly reception from John Fox when Fox was hired before the 2015 season. That has changed as of late, with Fox singing Cutler’s praises during the recent NFL owners meeting.

Commissioner should consider changing delivery after another embarrassing news conference BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush ing call for full-time officials went unheeded?

Here is Goodell’s unedited answer.

“As you know, full-time officials are not a new issue, Jason,” he said.

“It’s been discussed in the league.

It’s been discussed through the competition committee for several years.

“We believe that at least in a limited form that it’s a positive step, so we agree with coach on that front.

In fact, that’s something we fought for in our last labor negotiations with the officials is to be able to hire a limited number of officials, I think it was 16 or so, so that we would have the ability to have them in the office during the week.

“We could develop greater consistency, and consistency is really the core of what we’ve talked about all week here in officiating. That’s what

we want to deliver to our teams.

“I do believe our officials are incredible professionals. I think they officiate at the highest possible level.

But they can always improve, and we will try to seek improvement. So that’s not unusual for us, but we’re going to continue that.

“We’re going to continue our dialogue with how we implement the limited number of officials to see the impact.

“I do believe, though, from a broader standpoint Jason, whether they’re full time or part time, officials are going to make mistakes.

That’s just - unfortunately the game is fast, and it is difficult to officiate.

They do an extraordinary job. We’re proud of the job they do and we want to try to give them more resources and more ability to improve, just as the game of football continues to improve.”

Goodell was asked if there was any truth to reports the NFL was negotiating with the NFLPA to strip him of his disciplinary authority, how he feels about that and if he wants to retain that authority?

Goodell responded, “Listen, I think I said at the Super Bowl that we’re not going to negotiate positions publicly. On the other hand, I’ve also been very open over the last several years that we have had discussions about the discipline process for decades.

“If we could find a better discipline system let’s do it. We are not close to an agreement by any stretch of the imagination on any changes to that as it relates to a third party or other individuals making those decisions, but we are open to them.”

This is just a thought and I’m curious to know how everybody else feels about it.

How about a system where appeals aren’t heard by the same judge who convicted the accused?

When you think about the U.S. justice system and due process, it’s not exactly a new concept.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – NFL owners annual league meetings wrapped up Wednesday in Boca Raton with a news conference with league commissioner Roger Goodell.

To summarize the event, not much got done at these meetings.

There were a few rule changes the commissioner seems proud of, like the automatic ejection of players with two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, elimination of the chop block, etc.

But the reality is several coaches indicated during the week there was really only one team that regularly used the chop block that was eliminated, and the automatic ejection rule as it was passed would have resulted in one ejection from the 267 games during the 2015 season.

Not exactly earth-shaking.

Frustrating to some is the reality there were things worth doing but, for whatever reasons, the owners chose not to get them done.

For example, the commissioner was asked why Cardinals coach Bruce Arians’ spirited and convinc-

NFL DRAFT

Who goes to Bears at No. 11 in PFW’s Mock Drafts?

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Pro Football Weekly did our first set of 2016 NFL Mock Drafts.

Let’s start with a rundown of who the Bears got at No. 11 in each mock draft, with the analysis from the writer, then we’ll get into what we can glean from these mock drafts:

• Hub Arkush: Oregon DE DeForest Buckner — “Bears desperate for five-technique get

lucky as best falls to them.”

• Kevin Fishbain: Oregon DE DeForest Buckner — “Dream scenario for Bears with Buck-

ner falling to No. 11.”

• Nate Atkins: Alabama DT A’Shawn Robinson — “Ryan Pace is turning his D-line into a sudden strength.”

• Arthur Arkush: Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott — “Ryan Pace can’t resist great value; another first-rounder on offense.”

• J.C. Talon: Memphis QB Paxton Lynch —

“Bears know Cutler is not a difference-maker, Lynch has huge upside.”

Bears fans have to be thrilled about the way my mock draft and Hub’s fell in the first 10 picks. I had three quarterbacks in my top 10, which helped Buckner slide. How the quarterbacks fall, and if teams trade up, will help determine the Bears’ option at No. 11.

The 49ers have such a big need at quarterback that they likely wouldn’t target a D-lineman. The Ravens, however, could certainly

take Buckner at No. 5, and that’s where Arthur and J.C. Talon have the Oregon D-end going.

In Nate’s draft, Buckner went to the Buccaneers, and the Bears then took the nextbest interior defensive lineman, Alabama’s A’Shawn Robinson.

Arthur has Robinson, Buckner and Ronnie Stanley, three consensus Bears targets, off the board by No. 11, which would create an interesting situation for Ryan Pace. He has options at cornerback, certainly, but went with Elliott, the top runner in the draft.

The Bears need a running back, and their aggressive pursuit of C.J. Anderson shows that this remains a possibility, plus running backs coach Stan Drayton knows Elliott better than most from his time coaching the doit-all back at Ohio State.

What would Matt Forte think of this pick?

Or Jeremy Langford? Would it be a luxury pick, considering the needs on defense? Elliott is going to be a polarizing option for Bears observers leading up to the draft.

Speaking of polarizing, how about J.C. Talon going with a quarterback, and Paxton Lynch at No. 11? Although I think the Bears are happy with Cutler for the present, that doesn’t ignore the desire Pace will have to find a long-term quarterback at some point.

The Bears would have to truly think Lynch is going to be a star to make that pick on someone who will be on the bench for at least a season.

23. Minnesota Vikings Tyler Boyd, WR – Pittsburgh

24. Cincinnati Bengals Josh Doctson, WR – TCU

said. “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 re-start button and try to find out way back to our game and the way we know we can play.”

Desjardins said it took him seven or eight games to feel comfortable in the Hawks system last season.

“You’re coming in and you’re doing different things,” he said. “Chemistry with line mates, systems with the coaching staff, your role – it all comes into play. With some guys it takes longer than others.”

But Desjardins said he didn’t think the introduction of new players into the system has been the reason for the Hawks’ current slump.

“The transition of figuring out exactly where you’re fitting in might take a little bit of time,” Desjardins said. “But besides that, I think the guys are pretty good here at bringing everybody together and making you feel welcome. I think that’s the easiest part.

“I don’t think you can completely pinpoint the hiccup or whatever to [the newcomers]. That’s just the way it goes. Sometimes you have a little bit of a roller-coaster to the season. Maybe it’s one of those situations.”

• Friday, March 25, 2016

After watching the Blackhawks become NHL’s gold standard for success from outside the organization the past several seasons, Dale Weise, Tomas Fleischmann and Christian Ehrhoff have to be wondering what the big deal is. Since they were acquired in trade-deadline deals – along with former Hawk Andrew Ladd – the Hawks are 4-5-2, getting outscored, 34-28.

“Yeah since I’ve gotten here, things haven’t gone really well so far,” Weise said. “But that’s OK. You’re going to go through those lulls. It’s better to go through those now than in about a month or so.”

Whether it’s the transition to a new system or the newcomers being caught in the undertow of a massive team slump, the Hawks still are waiting for the trade-deadline bump to kick in with eight games remaining in the regular season.

Ladd had five points (three goals, two assists) with a minus-1 rating in 11 games, playing on the top line with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa.

Fleischmann has four points (three goals, one assist) and is a minus-3 in 11 games, but all four points have

been inconsequential – coming with the Hawks either leading or trailing by three goals or more late in the third period.

Weise arrived late because of visa issues and has one point and is a plusone in nine games. Ehrhoff has one point and is a minus-1 in five games and has been a healthy scratch in four of the last five games.

Then again, it’s still early. At this time last season, Antoine Vermette – a defensively responsible center supposedly a perfect fit Joel Quenneville’s system – was struggling to fit in with the Hawks. Andrew Desjardins had been a healthy scratch for back-toback games. And 40-year-old Kimmo Timonen was still trying to find his legs and his game.

As it turned out, both Vermette and Desjardins played key roles in the playoffs, helping the Hawks win the Stanley Cup. So maybe Niklas Hjalmarsson has the right idea when he suggests that the upcoming four-game Western road trip could become a key bonding experience for a struggling team.

“It’s something we obviously want to turn around and I think the road trip is a good way to get the so-called new group together,” Hjalmarsson
