The rhyme and reason of competitive poetry Growing up I thrived on competition. I relished the thrill of victory as I stole the TV remote from my sister and replaced “Petticoat Junction” with “Wagon Train.” And I literally tasted the agony of defeat when my little brother grabbed the last crescent roll at the supper table.

Of course, sports were the highlight of my competitive spirit. From Little League baseball to ice hockey, I loved feeling the anticipation of the game and the struggles within it. Of course, I could have done without the strikeouts and the stitches, but, as my mom would say, “Michael, with you it’s either the bench or the emergency room.”

As a kid, it never crossed my mind to enter the wacky world of competitive verse. In fact, back then we boys thought poetry was for sissies. Like when our teacher made us write a poem in fourth grade. It had to start with, “Roses are red, violets are blue.” Here’s what I came up with to avoid any romantic association:

Roses are red, violets are blue, I like doughnuts, doughnuts are good.

That wasn’t as bad as my first venture into Haiku poetry in sixth grade:

Five syllables here Seven more syllables here Now can I go out?

I thought it was pretty funny, but not so my teacher. Not only didn’t I get to go out to recess, but I also had to rewrite it. So I gave her what I thought she wanted to hear:

My teacher is round A big ball of fluffiness I want to squeeze her

That Haiku poem put me into the dreaded negative recess category, so I vowed from that moment on to stay clear of the curse of the verse – at least until I saw its competitive potential.

That happened when I learned that the local library was going to have a poetry contest. With prizes. Here was the first time I envisioned the dramatic competitive clash of simile versus metaphor, of alliteration jousting allusion, of

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava iambic pentameter contending with Petrarchan sonnet. It would be the literary equivalent to ice hockey, but you get to keep all of your teeth.

So I laced up my keyboard and slid onto a New Blank Document, ready to deftly maneuver my words like pucks and my stanzas like slap shots. My personifications were like skillful passes and my rhymes were like dynamic body checks. I was playing for the “Chicago PitchDark as Midnight Rapacious Birds of Prey” as my thoughts glided upon the glassy surface of the computer screen like breezy breaths of wind across the barren frosted tundra.

But, alas, my poetic submissions missed the mark like a one-timer slap shot from the blue line going wide of the net. Perhaps my anapestic meter lacked the sharpness of a skate blade.

Maybe my onomatopoeia lacked the whizzing and zooming of the puck or my oxymorons were as bittersweet as a game lost in overtime.

Whatever the case, the poetry judges never gave me a first place prize. But poetry is very subjective. It’s not like the poet with the most goals wins. If hockey was like poetry, you could get a penalty because the referee didn’t like the colors of your jersey.

So I’ll just continue to compose competitively. I’ve just submitted my poem for this year’s contest and I have great hopes that it will win.

It’s a dramatic narrative poem that contains both irony and carbohydrates entitled, “Dick Tator, Tyrant of the Potatoes.”

TODAY’S TALKER Baby seal found 4 miles from water in San Francisco Bay Area

FREMONT, Calif. – Authorities said a baby seal made it 4 miles from the water to the front yard of a home in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Rescuers nicknamed the seal Ozzie after she was found Thursday on Osgood Road in Fremont. The female northern fur seal had no visible signs of injury and was taken to the Marine Mammal Center

The 9-month-old seal has been rescued before.

Center staff members said the pup was found malnourished in November at New Brighton State Beach in Capitola. She was treated and released earlier this month in Bodega Bay, which is about 100 miles northwest of where the animal was found this week in Fremont.

FACEBOOK THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: When do you think a child is ready to be left home alone and why?

KIM MASELBAS – 14 is high school age and a decent age to stay alone for awhile or to babysit a sibling. Under that they are still a child and not a “young adult.”

SCOTT MORTIMER – I am very comfortable with my son’s maturity level to leave him home alone. The state needs to back off and worry about the real problems in Illinois.

VALERIE ANDERSON JOHNSON – A responsible parent should know at what age their child is ready.

Some are ready at 12 some not until 30.

LEXI STONE – 12 seems to be a reasonable age. That is also the age that the after-school care programs cease at schools. It is also termed the “age of reason” for insurance and legal purposes.

RONI SCHMIDT – It depends on the maturity of the child and the parents comfort level and trust in the child.

JUDY BARTELT CONNOR – This is another attempt at Nanny Laws by the state. Stay out of parenting.

I think it’s up to the parents to decide that issue. Each child is different. A parent knows how mature his/her child is.

Next week’s question will be posted on our Facebook page on Monday morning, and your comments could be published in this space in next Saturday’s newspaper.

Anti-establishment faction on the McHenry County Board poised to grow

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com McHenry County Republican voters sent the local party establishment a message in last week’s primary.

They joined GOP voters in other states in sending a message to the Washington establishment – presidential candidate Donald Trump received 40 percent of the county GOP vote compared with 25.9 percent for Ted Cruz.

While they had no contested local primaries, Democratic voters sent a clear message of their own – while Hillary Clinton handily won Illinois, Bernie Sanders carried McHenry County with 60 percent of the vote.

The message county GOP voters sent to local officials in record numbers – 60 percent of Republican voters in McHenry County pulled a ballot in a primary that broke turnout records – is that the status quo is no longer good enough.

Voters gave the nod for county recorder to an outside candidate who ran on a platform of eliminating the office altogether – he beat a longtime office employee and a County Board member in the three-way race. In the inaugural race for County Board chairman, member Michael Walkup edged out incumbent Joe Gottemoller for the Republican nomination.

And two longtime County Board incumbents – Anna May Miller, R-Cary, and Sue Draffkorn, R-Wonder Lake – lost their re-election bids. In both districts, the candidate with the most votes was a newcomer dedicated to doing more toward property-tax relief and cutting government.

To Joe Tirio of Woodstock, the large turnout shows that county residents are becoming more interested in, and aware of, politics.

Last week’s overall voter turnout of 43 percent in the county is more than double that of the last presidential primary, and greater than the 34.6 percent turnout in 2008. Statewide, turnout set a record with more than 3.3 million voters casting ballots.

“Their choice of the nonestablishment candidates further proves that people are not happy with the status quo,” Tirio said.

Craig Wilcox, a retired Air Force colonel who moved to McHenry three years ago, ran for County Board on a platform that the county merely holding the line on tax increases is not enough. Wilcox, by far, won the most votes in the GOP

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Several McHenry County GOP establishment incumbents lost in the primary earlier this month. Craig Wilcox, a retired Air Force colonel, by far received the most votes for County Board District 4 and unseated an incumbent.

“Their choice of the nonestablishment candidates further proves that people are not happy with the status quo.”

Joe Tirio

McHenry County Board candidate who beat a longtime office employee and a board member in a three-way race primary for District 4 – he and fellow newcomer Kay Bates beat Draffkorn, who was first elected in 2002.

Miller, first elected the same year as Draffkorn, also had her board career ended by a tax-fighting newcomer. Tom Wilbeck, a fiscal watchdog whose brief stint on the McHenry County College Board was cut short by his moving out of the district, won the most votes in District 1.

Wilcox, if elected, said he wants to use his office to convince other local governments to cut taxes, and spending as well, and said those bodies should take the primary results as a cautionary tale.

“I think all of them should be mindful of the message the voters sent in this election cycle,” Wilcox said.

Not all the challengers who won their primaries are as clear about their intentions as Tirio and Wilcox. But the County Board’s anti-establishment faction that questions spending the loudest, once a small minority, undoubtedly will gain strength provided its candidates in this cycle go on to win Nov. 8.

While one member of that vocal bloc will leave office at year’s end – Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, is term-limiting herself – the majority is losing more.

Besides the two primary losses, two members chose instead to run for higher office and lost, and another chose not to seek re-election.

That shift, if it holds, has Tirio con-

fident that the County Board will agree to his proposal to hold a referendum in 2018 to abolish the recorder’s office. If voters approve, as they have in recent years in other counties of similar size, the office will be consolidated with the county clerk.

If the County Board doesn’t approve the referendum, state law allows Tirio and his volunteers to gather enough signatures to force it onto the ballot.

But he said he would rather work with the County Board than against it, and he said the odds of that happening improved with the primary results.

“It is a much better possibility with this election,” Tirio said.

Neither Tirio nor Wilcox now face Democratic challengers in the Nov. 8 election, but Democratic Party of McHenry County officials have said they plan to caucus in more candidates for County Board and countywide offices.

Five of the County Board’s six districts now have Democratic challengers.

Residents react to cocaine arrest Hebron village president faces drug, firearms charges after March 17 incident

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – When Hebron Village Board trustee Drew Georgi heard about Village President John Jacobson’s arrest, his first thought was, “Again?”

The 68-year-old was arrested Tuesday on drug and firearms charges after police said they found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition at his home after a March 17 incident when Jacobson was reportedly found unconscious in his home.

Before that, Jacobson faced drug charges during his 2013 campaign after police said they found crack cocaine in his vehicle during a traffic stop. After he was elected, Jacobson pleaded guilty to amended misdemeanor charges but was able to keep his office. He later faced charges for driving under the influence in Wisconsin in October 2013. His drug-related probation period ended in July 2014 without action from McHenry County prosecutors.

Since Jacobson’s initial charges, Georgi said there has always been talk about Jacobson possibly being involved in illegal activities.

“But it was rumored,” Georgi said Friday morning.

And after Jacobson’s most recent arrest, Georgi wants Jacobson out of office.

“If he doesn’t resign voluntarily, I’m going to try to get the other board members to restrict him, restrict his powers, limit him,” Georgi said.

Georgi said he’s had no contact with Jacobson or board members since Tuesday, except for an email senior trustee Mark Shepherd sent to Village Clerk Rose

Smith-Miller on Tuesday. In the email, Shepherd asked village employees and trustees not to discuss sensitive information with the media, and to direct questions to himself or Smith-Miller, Georgi said.

“Basically, it was a gag order,” Georgi said. “As senior trustee, he was trying to tell everybody, including other board members and employees, ‘Don’t say a word.’ ” The email from Shepherd said he would keep the village running smoothly in the meantime, Georgi said, and that Jacobson was still president.

The Northwest Herald requested Thursday under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act staff and trustee emails regarding Jacobson from March 17 to the present.

Other trustees and Jacobson did not return multiple requests for comment.

Two staff members who were at the Hebron Village Hall on Thursday afternoon declined or said they were not available for comment.

But Thursday morning, many in Hazel’s Diner and Bakery were commenting on Jacobson’s arrest, employee and Hebron resident Kate Sturtevant said.

“He’s the president of our town, and I feel like it’s sad because it’s such a good town,” Sturtevant sad. “It just gives it a bad name.”

The close-knit town with a population of a little more than 1,100 people has safe streets and a downtown unaffected by time, said Hazel’s Diner owner and Hebron resident Debra Mindham.

“It just isn’t a shock anymore,” Mindham said regarding Jacobson’s charges, “And I just don’t know how we as a community still have him in office.”

As far as why Jacobson was elected in the first place, “It was a vote against Frank [Beatty],” Georgi said, and several others agreed.

Janet Ratajczak, Hebron resident and owner of Prairie Avenue Antiques and The Tack Exchange, said the village was happy to have someone step up and run

HUNTLEY – Two people were taken to an area hospital Friday after a two-vehicle crash on Route 47, a fire official said.

Huntley Fire Protection District crews were dispatched about 5:30 a.m. to the intersection of Route 47 and Dean Street, where they found two vehicles with heavy damage, Battalion Chief Tim Flannigan said.

Firefighters transported a man and a woman to Advocate Sherman Hospital in

Drew Georgi

Hebron Village Board trustee on an email sent by senior trustee Mark Shepherd against the former long-time village president, Beatty, who some blame for the decision in 2005 to build a new $4.5 million wastewater treatment plant. Paying bonds for the new facility and a lack of growth have caused residents’ water bills to rise significantly, Ratajczak said.

She said it’s best the village replaces Jacobson as village president, but anytime she has worked with him for business, she said he acted “appropriate.”

“And I feel bad for John,” Ratajczak said.

“I think he’s just an individual who’s taken a wrong turn in life and needs some help.”

At least two people in Hebron declined to talk about Jacobson on Thursday because they said they were friends with him, or had known him growing up in Hebron. A patron at Hoops Sports Bar and Grill said he’d seen Jacobson at the bar before, and he seemed to be a “nice guy.”

As far as what happens next for the village, multiple business owners and residents said they didn’t know what was going on within the village government.

In response to what can people do moving forward, Georgi said they can vote.

“Not only do the people of Hebron, the people in McHenry County have to realize that they need to register to vote,” Georgi said, “they need to come out and vote, and they need to research what they’re voting for, or this is going to keep happening.”

LOCAL BRIEF Route 47 crash in Huntley sends 2 people to the hospital

“Basically, it was a gag order. As senior trustee, he was trying to tell everybody, including other board members and employees, ‘Don’t say a word.’ ”

Elgin with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Flannigan said. He said there were no other occupants in either vehicle.

Huntley police also responded to the call, but could not be reached immediately for comment.

Later Friday morning, a male driver was injured in a separate crash on Route 47 at Kreutzer Road. The T-bone-style crash involved two-vehicles, Huntley fire officials said.

6 DeKALB COUNTY

State’s attorney claims man convicted in ’57 murder of girl, 7, falsely convicted SHAW MEDIA

SYCAMORE – DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack said that Jack D. McCullough was falsely convicted of the 1957 murder of 7-yearold Maria Ridulph.

Schmack, in his answer to McCullough’s appeal for post-conviction relief, said the state joins in McCullough’s request to set aside his conviction because he was arrested under false pretenses and because evidence proves that he could not have been in Sycamore at the time Maria Ridulph was abducted. “… The people are ethically compelled and constrained to admit the existence of clear and convincing evidence showing Defendant to have been convicted of an offense which he did not commit,” Schmack wrote.

The original conviction was secured while Clay Campbell, a Republican, was DeKalb County state’s attorney in September 2012. Schmack, a Democrat, defeated Campbell in the election that November. His assessment of the facts of the case proved far different from that of his predecessor and police investigators.

In a news release sent Friday, Schmack said that according to his timeline, which relied on police reports from the time, it was impossible for McCullough to have been in Sycamore on Dec. 3, 1957, at the time Maria was abducted.

Schmack said DeKalb County Sheriff’s reports from the time establish that Maria was abducted from near the intersection of Archie Place and Center Cross Street between 6:45 and 6:55 p.m., and that McCullough had placed a collect call from Rockford to his parents in Sycamore at 6:57 p.m.

He said that police reports from the time were improperly excluded from the trial, and prove McCullough is in-

nocent.

“It is a manifest impossibility for [McCullough] to have been in Sycamore at 6:45 and also have made a phone call in downtown Rockford at 6:57,” Schmack wrote. “… It is absolutely clear that in 1957, the FBI, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and the DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s office properly cleared him of involvement.”

McCullough, who was known as John Tessier at the time Maria Ridulph disappeared, was arrested in Seattle in July 2011 and convicted by a judge after a week-long trial in September 2012.

At trial, McCullough’s half-sister, Janet Tessier, testified that weeks before her death in 1994, their mother had told her “those two little girls, the one that disappeared, John did it. You’ve got to tell somebody.”

Two of McCullough’s other half-sisters, Katherine Caulfield and Jeanne Tessier, testified that they did not see McCullough at their house the night that Maria disappeared or the next morning.

But Schmack said that Caulfield, who testified that Maria had disappeared earlier than 6:45 p.m., was disproved by “newly discovered documents,” which prove that Maria’s abduction was not reported until 8 p.m. and so there could not have been anyone out searching for her at 7 p.m.

Schmack also said that Kathy Sigman, the last person to see Maria alive, incorrectly identified McCullough’s photo from the period, both from a photo array shown to her by investigators and at trial.

He said that the photos were displayed by an officer who knew which person was the suspect – a practice now not allowed – and McCullough’s photo was dissimilar from the others. He also said that she previously had identified someone else as the perpetrator, making her recollection unreliable.

“Her selection in 2010 of a black-andwhite headshot of him as a teenager is clearly an unintentional and tragic mistake on her part,” Schmack said.

right, according to a news release. Police said he struck a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox driven by a 32-year-old Mount Prospect man in the far right lane.

The Algonquin man then swerved back to the left, struck a concrete median and bounced back into traffic, striking a Chevrolet Express van in the far left lane, police said.

A 31-year-old Roselle man was driving the van, police said.

The Algonquin man was not wearing his seat belt, officials said. He suffered severe injuries when he was partially ejected during one of the impacts and was taken to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, according to a news release.

Police closed all southbound lanes on I-355 at St. Charles Road while they investigated the crash.

Casey Porter, who lives in Washington, has long pressed his father-in-law’s innocence in the crime.

On Friday, Porter said former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell and Illinois State Police investigator Brion Hanley should be put in jail for their roles in the case.

“I used to think that it was just mistakes. I used to give people the benefit of the doubt,” he said Friday in a phone interview from Washington. “But Campbell went way over the line. It was a complete conspiracy. Once they had Jack arrested and they dug up the body, they had to go the rest of the way.

“Hanley and Campbell lied. They should be in jail.”

Meanwhile, Charles Ridulph, Maria’s older brother, called Schmack’s position “ridiculous.” Ridulph said Schmack was totally disregarding all the other evidence that pointed to McCullough’s guilt, including later police reports from 1958, which changed the original timeframe.

“A few months ago [Schmack] gave me a copy of his time frame, and I went through that and it just made me sick,” Ridulph said. “There’s a reason that none of [the old police reports were] allowed into evidence to begin with, because there were so many discrepancies and you couldn’t cross-examine it.”

Schmack said he had investigated the case hoping to find that it really had been solved, but he could find no evidence that it had been.

“When I began this lengthy review I had expected to find some reliable evidence that the right man had been convicted,” Schmack wrote. “No such evidence could be discovered.”

1 injured in T-bone crash on Route 47 in Huntley

HUNTLEY – A man suffered injuries that a fire official said were not life-threatening after a T-bone-style crash Friday on Route 47 in Huntley.

Huntley Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Russ Wilson said crews were dispatched about 7:20 a.m. to the intersection of Route 47 and Kreutzer Road for a two-vehicle crash. Wilson said firefighters had to help a male driver out of a vehicle because of damage caused in the crash.

“The driver’s door was pushed in a little bit from the bumper of the other vehicle,” Wilson said.

The man was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital while the other driver signed a release at the scene, Wilson said. Huntley police also responded to the scene. They could not immediately be reached for comment.

Earl Hamner Jr., 11 creator of ‘Waltons’ TV show, dies at 92 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Earl Hamner Jr., the versatile and prolific writer who drew upon his Depression-era upbringing in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to create one of television’s most beloved family shows, “The Waltons,” has died. He was 92.

Hamner died in Los Angeles and had recently been battling pneumonia, said Ray Castro Jr., a friend of Hamner’s who produced a documentary, “Earl Hamner Storyteller,” about the writer. Castro said he learned about Hamner’s death from the writer’s daughter, Caroline. A Facebook post by Hamner’s son, Scott, stated his father died surrounded by family at Cedars Sinai Hospital while John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” was playing.

Although best remembered for “The Waltons,” which aired for nine seasons and won more than a dozen Emmys, that show barely scratched the surface of Hamner’s literary accomplishments.

He was a best-selling novelist (“Spencer’s Mountain”), the author of eight episodes of the classic 1960s TV show “The Twilight Zone” and, as a screenwriter, adapted the popular children’s tale “Charlotte’s Web,” into a hit 2006 film. He also created the popular, long-running TV drama “Falcon Crest” and wrote for such other TV shows as “Wagon Train,” “Gentle Ben” and “The Wild Thornberrys.”

Rauner: Formula for school funding can be rewritten over time

PAXTON – Gov. Bruce Rauner said an overhaul of Illinois’ outdated school funding formula can be done over time.

Rauner supports a rewrite but said the formula is complex and broken, and changing it will take time. The Republican said he doesn’t want to hold up the budget and funding schools if it takes longer than August.

The Champaign News-Gazette reported Rauner spoke Thursday in the east central Illinois community of Paxton.

Lawmakers from both parties agree the formula, last changed in 1997, should be revised over concerns it penalizes students in poorer districts. But they’ve bickered over the timing and approach during an election year.

SIU-Carbondale trustees increase tuition by 3 percent

EDWARDSVILLE – Southern Illinois University’s board of trustees has voted to increase tuition for fall at the school’s Carbondale campus by 3 percent.

The vote Thursday means the price of tuition for new students will increase $264 to $9,099.

The increase will not affect existing students.

The cost of 15 mandatory student fees will remain the same, while room-and-board fees will increase 1.9 percent to $10,186. That brings the total in-state cost of an SIU education to $22,417.

The board also boosted several fees paid by students attending SIU-Edwardsville.

Leading private-sector health system woos veterans in ads

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A leading hospital system in the U.S. is courting military veterans with a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, raising concerns from some veterans groups that private sector marketing could weaken the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system.

The campaign tag lines – “Veterans have a choice in healthcare” and “You honored your oath, and so do we” – emphasize consumer preference and the shared values of medical professionals and the military.

Starting Monday, TV, radio, print and online ads by St. Louis-based Ascension Health’s will urge veterans to call a toll-free number for information about Veterans Choice, the cornerstone of the VA overhaul approved in 2014, which makes it easier for veterans to receive federally paid medical care from local doctors.

Veterans groups said it’s the first large-scale marketing to Choice-eligible veterans.

Vets are wary of proposals to privatize the VA health system and fear that draining off patients and dollars could hurt the VA in the long term, said Louis Celli of the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans group. While they supported the Choice legislation after a scandal over long wait times and falsified records, most want the program to remain temporary, he said.

More than 4.6 million veterans used VA health care last year, and the VA said it has reduced its waiting list while authorizing millions of veterans to receive care in the private sector.

Congress approved $10 billion over three years for the Choice program, money that will go to private sector providers at Medicare rates, a potentially valuable revenue stream. To be eligible, veterans must live more than 40

Starting Monday, Ascension will be courting military veterans with a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, raising concerns from some veterans groups that private sector marketing could weaken the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. miles away from a VA medical facility or face a long wait for VA care.

“No community is more vulnerable than veterans,” Ascension spokesman Nick Ragone said. “Our mission is to serve those who are underserved, no matter what the revenue stream or reimbursement levels.”

Ascension, the nation’s largest nonprofit health care system with facilities in 24 states, estimates its efforts could lead to 24,000 veterans a year getting care from its providers, helping the VA reduce its backlog of cases.

Ascension supports extending the Choice program beyond its 2017 expiration and will air ads in Washington, D.C., Ragone said. “We’re

looking to continue to be part of the solution,” he said.

Ascension plans to train providers in veterans’ issues and has hired veterans in each of its markets to help new patients navigate the requirements of the Choice program, Ragone said.

Some veterans groups are skeptical, however, about whether Ascension can live up to its marketing.

“How many mechanical arms have they fitted recently?” said Celli after seeing an Ascension ad depicting a veteran with a prosthetic arm.

“This campaign suggests that veterans are interchangeable with anyone else in society (paste head here), which clearly shows that they just don’t get it.”

U.S. moving to increase troop presence in Iraq The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Pentagon said Friday it was moving to increase the number of American troops in Iraq amid new strikes this week that killed the Islamic State’s finance minister and other senior leaders. Still, top U.S. defense officials said the deaths won’t “break the back” of the extremist group, which is in a fierce fight for an ancient city in Syria and claimed responsibility for bombing a soccer stadium in Iraq.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the U.S. progress in eliminating members of the IS “cabinet” was hampering its ability to conduct and inspire attacks against the West. The announcement came as the battle to retake the Syrian city of Palmyra entered its third day and Iraqi forces continued their march to recapture Mosul. A suicide bombing in a soccer stadium south of Baghdad, killing nearly 30 people, underscored the difficult fight ahead.

Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Pentagon reporters that recommendations on ways to increase U.S. support for Iraq’s ground fight against IS will be discussed with President Barack Obama soon.

“The secretary and I both

believe that there will be an increase in U.S. forces in Iraq in coming weeks, but that decision hasn’t been made,” Dunford said. He did not say how big that increase might be.

He and Carter said accelerating the campaign against the Islamic State will include more assistance such as the artillery fire and targeting help that U.S. Marines provided earlier this week to Iraqi forces advancing on Mosul. But they said American forces remain well behind the front lines.

“I think there’s a lot of reasons for us to be optimistic about the next several months,” Dunford said. “But by no means would I say that we’re about to break the back of ISIL or that the fight is over.”

Using an acronym for the militant group, Carter said the U.S. is “systematically eliminating ISIL’s cabinet,” killing several key members in strikes this week.

Carter would not provide details about the strikes, but a senior U.S. official said the group’s financial minister was killed along with two associates in a U.S. raid in Syria. The official was not authorized to discuss the operations so spoke on thecondition of anonymity.

Carter said the finance

minister, who is known by several names, including Abdul-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli and Haji Imam, was a “wellknown terrorist” who had a hand in terrorist plots outside of Iraq and Syria.

He said al-Qaduli has been associated with IS dating back to its earliest iteration as al-Qaida in Iraq. He said he had worked under Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a liaison for operations in Pakistan and was “responsible for some external affairs and plots.”

Carter said he was not aware of any link between al-Qaduli and this week’s terrorist attacks in Brussels.

In a separate operation, a U.S. airstrike in Mosul killed another top IS leader, the official said. Carter identified the man as Abu Sarah and said he was one of the leaders charged with paying militant fighters in northern Iraq.

The successful attacks are part of a string of recent strikes targeting the leadership of the group, which has lost territory in both Iraq and Syria. Earlier this month the Pentagon said it killed Omar al-Shishani, described as the Islamic State’s “minister of war,” in an airstrike in Syria. In November, the Pentagon said an airstrike in Libya killed Abu Nabil, another top IS leader.

Security privileges, lapses helped flight attendant escape The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Within hours of ditching 70 pounds of cocaine at a security checkpoint and bolting barefoot out of the main Los Angeles airport, an off-duty flight attendant was flying across the country after clearing security at the same airport, law enforcement officials said Friday.

Marsha Gay Reynolds, 31, did not do anything out of the ordinary to get back on a plane, officials said, describing how she used an airline badge with her real name to board another flight the next morning at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

Communication lapses, bureaucratic protocols and special security privileges afforded airline workers all contributed to Reynolds’ remaining out of the grasp of law enforcement until she surrendered four days later at Kennedy Airport in New York.

“This is a security breakdown. That could have easily been an explosive device and a terrorist running from the checkpoint. And we wouldn’t have known until it went boom,” said Marshall McClain, president of the union representing LAX airport police officers.

Reynolds’ escape was another embarrassing error for the airport, which sought to enhance security after a gunman opened fire in a terminal in 2013 and killed a Transportation Security Administration agent.

Reynolds was off duty when she arrived March 18 at an LAX checkpoint, wearing jeans and a black suit jacket and carrying her “known crew member” badge, according to an FBI affidavit filed in support of the charge against Reynolds.

When Reynolds was chosen for a random security screening, TSA officers reported that she became nervous and made a phone call in a foreign language

before she dropped her bags, kicked off her heels, ran down an upward-moving escalator and out of the airport, the affidavit said.

Airport police soon found 11 packages of cocaine wrapped in green cellophane inside one of the bags Reynolds left behind, the affidavit said. The drugs had an estimated street value of up to $3 million.

The badges allow airline workers to get through security faster to reduce lines and allow the TSA to focus on travelers they know less about. To obtain the badges, airline workers must submit to a background check that includes fingerprinting.

Crew members do not have to be wearing uniforms or have a boarding pass when using the badges. But they are still subject to random screenings.

The fact that Reynolds was able to fly so soon after her mad dash through the airport did not particularly surprise aviation expert Jeff Price because the system is designed to catch terrorists, not criminals.

The involvement of the crew member badge “might cause the TSA to look at this program a little more closely, to see if this is going to be a problem from a terrorist perspective,” Price said.

McClain agreed that the case raises long-held fears about the “insider” threat of a terrorist gaining special access to airports and planes using the crew member program or becoming radicalized after obtaining such access.

“It’s like giving someone the keys to your house, and you just made their job really easy,” said Price, who has written a textbook on airport security and trains airport workers across the country.

The TSA has said that full screening of all employees would cost too much.

Instead, the agency has urged airports to increase random screenings of workers and to keep background checks up to date.

A member of emergency services wearing protective clothing investigates the scene Friday in Schaerbeek, Belgium. A witness speaking on Belgian state broadcaster RTBF described hearing two blasts and shots from heavy weapons during the police raid on the Schaerbeek neighborhood. About 50 officers appeared to be involved in the operation. It is unclear whether it is linked to Tuesday’s attacks. A tram passing through the area was stopped and evacuated and police cordoned off a wide perimeter of streets. government. Authorities believe both the Brussels attacks and the Nov. 13 bombings in Paris that killed 130 people were plotted from Belgium.

Confirming that several FBI agents are involved in the investigation, Kerry said the “carping” about Belgium’s shortcomings “is a little bit frantic and inappropriate.”

He also lashed out at the Islamic State group. “We will not be deterred,” he said. “We will come back with greater resolve – with greater strength – and we will not rest until we have eliminated your nihilistic beliefs and cowardice

from the face of the Earth.”

As the identities of the victims began to be made public, officials announced that American, British, German, Chinese, Italian, French and Dutch citizens were among the dead.

A manhunt has been underway for one of the airport attackers who was recorded on a surveillance video and fled the scene. Prosecutors have not said how many attackers there were in total, or how many accomplices might be at large.

But they said Friday that DNA analysis and an official investigation had

Trump risks turning off women with Cruz attacks The ASSOCIATED PRESS OSHKOSH, Wisconsin – Donald Trump’s latest rude comments about Ted Cruz’s wife are raising new alarms among Republicans about the party front-runner’s ability to win over women, especially in a potential fall presidential match-up with Hillary Clinton.

Trump is under fire for jabs at Heidi Cruz, as the rivals engage in an increasingly bitter, personal battle for the GOP presidential nomination.

Hostilities reached a new high Friday when Cruz accused Trump and “his henchmen” of stoking false rumors that he’d cheated on his wife.

“We don’t want a president who traffics in sleaze and slime,” the Texas senator told reporters in Wisconsin. “We don’t want a president who seems to have a real issue with strong women.”

Trump’s history of sexist comments, from his “Apprentice” television program to racy interviews with radio host Howard Stern, have long been seen by Republicans as a potential vulnerability, especially in a general election matchup with Clinton, who would be the country’s first female president.

The issue took off in the first GOP debate when Fox News’ Megyn Kelly asked Trump about calling Donald women “fat pig,” ‘’dog” Trump and other names. Her question sparked a continuing quarrel between Trump and the network.

Trump also faced a backlash after he was quoted in a “Rolling Stone”

profile insulting businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who endorsed Cruz after she dropped out of the 2016 Republican race.

“Look at that face!” Trump was quoted saying. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”

The issue reignited Wednesday after an anti-Trump super PAC released an ad featuring a risque photo of his wife, Melania, a former model, taken in a GQ photo shoot.

“Meet Melania Trump. Your Next First Lady. Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday,” it read. Trump responded by falsely accusing Cruz of running the ad and warning, “Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!” Cruz’s wife is a former Goldman Sachs investment manager and White House aide, who served as

economic policy adviser to President George W. Bush.

On Wednesday night, Trump escalated things when he re-tweeted sideby-side images of Cruz’s wife, with an unflattering grimace, and Melania in a gauzy, glamorous pose. “No need to ‘spill the beans’” read the caption. “The images are worth a thousand words.”

At an event Thursday in Wisconsin, Cruz responded by calling Trump “a sniveling coward” who has a problem with women – particularly “strong women.”

Cruz continued to dig in Friday, painting Trump’s comments as part of a larger pattern of misogyny.

“He’s directed these attacks at Megyn Kelly. He’s directed these attacks at Carly Fiorina. He’s directed these attacks at Columba Bush, Jeb Bush’s wife,” he said.

BRUSSELS – Heavily armed police swept into Brussels neighborhoods Friday in operations linked to this week’s bombings as well as a suspected new plot in France, detaining three people and shooting two of them in the leg.

One man was carrying a suspicious bag while accompanied by a young girl.

As Easter weekend began, jittery Europeans faced uncertainly about how many violent extremists remain at large, and where and when they might strike again.

On Friday afternoon, two blasts and gunfire rang out in the Schaerbeek district of Belgium’s capital, where police earlier found explosives and bomb-making material in an apartment used by the suicide attackers who killed 31 people and wounded 270 in assaults on the Brussels airport and subway.

Authorities, meanwhile, confirmed one of the attackers at the airport was the bomb-maker who made explosive vests used in last year’s carnage in Paris – the most definitive link yet between the two attacks, both of which have been claimed by the Islamic State group.

On the third and final day of national mourning, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry laid a wreath at the airport for the victims of Tuesday’s bombings – a ceremony that was skipped by Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel because of the police operations.

Kerry, in a hastily arranged visit, defended Belgium’s counterterrorism efforts despite a series of security and intelligence failures before the bombings that have brought sharp criticism of top members of Belgium’s embattled

confirmed one of the suicide bombers at the airport was Najim Laachraoui, 24, a suspected bomb-maker whose DNA was also found on a suicide vest and bomb used in the Paris attacks. European security officials had earlier in the week confirmed his identity to The Associated Press, thus linking the Brussels and Paris bloodshed.

On Friday, dozens of heavily armed officers swept into Brussels’ Schaerbeek neighborhood, as well as the Forest and Saint-Gilles districts, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office said. It was the second such raid in Schaerbeek in two days.

Officers began the operation about 1:30 p.m., when “two big explosions” echoed through Schaerbeek, resident Marie-Pierre Bouvez told the AP, and it lasted about two hours. It was not immediately clear if the blasts were controlled explosions.

Bouvez said police kept the area locked down and shouted at her to “get back inside” when she tried to go into the street.

At a tram stop, a man sitting with a young girl and holding a bag was ordered by police “to put the bag far from him,” and after he did so, police shot him twice, hitting him in the leg, said Norman Kabir, a local electrician. The girl was taken into safe custody, and a bomb-squad robot searched the bag, he added.

State broadcaster RTBF said police apparently feared the bag held explosives. Schaerbeek district Mayor Bernard Clerfayt told RTBF the raid was linked to the Brussels attacks as well as Thursday’s detention in France of a man authorities said was in the advanced stages of plotting a new attack.

THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Teacher an inspiration The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs-up: To Cary-Grove High School science teacher Josh Norten, who was named as a 2016 finalist for the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching. Norten, a 19-year veteran teacher, is an inspiration to his students and fellow educators.

Thumbs-down: To stealing the tip jar at Starbucks. Lake in the Hills police are looking for white woman with brown hair who was wearing a black T-shirt and stole a tip jar containing between $30 and $60 from inside the cafe Thursday. 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.

Thumbs-up: To the move toward telehealth in at medical offices in McHenry County. The technology allows area families to connect with specialists about their medical problems without expensive and time-consuming trips to Chicago and elsewhere. “It’s almost overwhelming how much [patients have] embraced it,” said Nancy Monica, director of telehealth for the Epilepsy Foundation, which has been using it for about two years. While telehealth consultations still are catching on and would not be appropriate in every instance, we encourage its expansion where appropriate for the convenience it gives area families in receiving necessary care.

Senate Republicans keep delaying appointments The refusal by Senate Republicans to consider the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court vacancy rightly has prompted indignation, but it is only the most glaring example of unreasonable intransigence by lawmakers who have turned the process of appointing senior federal officials into a political game.

The nominations of many of the 143 people awaiting confirmation for nonjudicial federal jobs are stalled in the Senate as committee heads and the majority leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, dither and delay. The result is a federal bureaucracy with an ever-growing number of corners subject to paralysis and indecision.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

It’s clear for Republican lawmakers, carrying out political vendettas and thwarting the president’s prerogatives are more important than having a functioning government.

Take, for instance, the case of Adam Szubin, the Treasury Department lawyer nominated to serve as under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence. The under secretary is tasked with enforcing American sanctions against North Korea and Iran and cutting off funding for terrorist groups.

Mr. Szubin, who has served under Republican and Democratic administrations, waited 325 days for a Senate banking committee vote, which was

held March 10. The full Senate has yet to consider his nomination. The blockage has deprived a critical division at Treasury of a leader who is fully empowered to make decisions and coordinate a unified response to international challenges.

Meanwhile, the post of secretary of the Army has been vacant since Nov. 1. Eric Fanning, who has had a swift rise at the Department of Defense, was nominated for the job in September. The Armed Services Committee didn’t schedule a hearing for him until January and waited until early March to vote in favor of the nomination. The full Senate has yet to schedule a confirmation vote.

At the State Department, Roberta Jacobson, one of the government’s foremost Latin America experts, has been waiting since last summer to be confirmed as ambassador to Mexico.

The embassy, one of the largest in the world, has been without an ambassador since June. Ms. Jacobson, the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, had a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July. The panel waited until November to approve her nomination, which the full Senate has not yet voted on. There are few diplomatic jobs more crucial than that of the ambassador to Mexico.

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 New York Times

VIEWS Margaret Carlson Trump rushed into the vacuum created by the open-door policy. His brassy showmanship, his garish success, and his big checks to candidates earned him a celebrity perch similar to Clint Eastwood’s before he talked nonsense to an empty chair at the 2008 convention.

It all came in handy as he campaigned in Arizona this week with the endorsement of a fellow Republican politico-celeb, the tough, immigrant-baiting Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Despite an increasing Hispanic population, he’s won six straight elections in Maricopa County, which contains almost two-thirds of Arizona’s population. Others pursued Arpaio’s help (including Sen. Ted Cruz) even though he is known for rounding up Hispanics and has pending civil contempt charges for defying orders to stop the practice. For fun, he’s forced jail inmates to wear pink underwear and to live outside in tents in searing heat.

Trump’s victory in Arizona shows a right-wing populist can use racist

undertones to thrive, by enraging and engaging the forgotten white working class without actually helping them.

He’s not even in favor of raising the minimum wage.

Arpaio and Trump are exemplars of what Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus warned against in his autopsy of the party’s 2012 drubbing. He said if the party was ever to regain the presidency, it would have to give up anger and tearing down in favor of optimism and building up. It’s too late. Trump and Arpaio rose to prominence as leaders of the angry birther movement committed to tearing down President Barack Obama. Trump’s name recognition made him a regular spokesman on TV, and his money funded investigators aiming to prove Obama wasn’t a natural citizen, but a Kenyan-born Muslim socialist. If a Republican, save Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, blasted this crazed effort to delegitimize Obama, it went unnoticed. Polls found while 62 percent of Americans said they believed Obama was born here, 24 percent thought he wasn’t and 14 percent were unsure. Of the doubters, 62 percent were Republicans.

And Arpaio and Trump had backup. Senate Majority Leader Mitch

McConnell fed the base by pledging to do everything in his power to make Obama a one-term president. The obstruction continues with his refusal to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, as much as a meeting with Republican senators, citing non-existent precedents.

Trump is not an outlier but what the party should have expected. While the sit-downs in non-smoke-filled rooms continue, the party is cooked.

Some Republicans are lining up behind Trump – Govs. Chris Christie and Rick Scott, Ben Carson and the former House speaker Newt Gingrich. Others dance around it. Speaker Paul Ryan condemns specific Trump outrages -– the stoking of anger and violence, the attacks on Muslims, the lack of seriousness – but says he will “respect the primary voter.”

Still others are whispering cheerfully Trump might pull off the hat trick of enraging minorities but winning anyway with an outpouring of angry white males.

The big tent worked out. Trump was let in. Now the Republican Party is another Trump-branded property.

The case for Trump over Hillary Clinton is a loser Donald Trump says he’ll be a dynamite general election candidate, winning reliably Democratic states such as New York and Pennsylvania and capturing unprecedented “crossover” votes from Democrats and independents.

Many other Republicans say he’d be a disaster.

Who’s right? As of now, the pessimists. Trump, the best surveys suggest, would be one of the weakest Republican nominees in modern history, one that an otherwise challenged Hillary Clinton could clobber.

In recent polls by Bloomberg Politics, The Wall Street Journal/ NBC News and the New York Times/ CBS News, she holds double-digit leads over Trump in a general election match-up. In the Bloomberg poll released Wednesday, she beats him 54 percent to 36 percent.

This reflects his weaknesses more than her strengths, and raises serious doubt about claims he’d do well among independents, working-class Democrats and married women. In the four-day Bloomberg survey, completed Tuesday evening, 68 percent of

VIEWS Albert Hunt the respondents had an unfavorable view of Trump against 29 percent who regard him favorably. That 39-point gap is huge. Clinton, by contrast, also is regarded more negatively than positively – but only by 9 percentage points, with 53 percent viewing her unfavorably and 44 percent favorably.

The case for a Trump victory in the fall is that he’d bring out new, alienated voters and would win over disaffected white Democrats and independents and others, including married women, who admire his strength. This, the theory goes, would offset losses among African-American and Latino voters.

In the Bloomberg poll, conducted

by J. Ann Selzer, Clinton beats Trump among independents, a bloc where she has done poorly in the primaries, 54 percent to 34 percent. Mitt Romney, the Republican loser of the 2012 presidential election by four points, carried

independents 50 percent to 45 percent.

As for Democrats, here’s the problem: The working class, white so-called Reagan Democrats who supposedly are drawn to Trump mostly aren’t Democrats anymore. The working class isn’t as white. Among all voters making less than $50,000 a year, Obama beat Romney, 60 percent to 38 percent. In the Bloomberg poll this week, Clinton’s lead over Trump is wider among this group.

Trump’s problems with women cross racial lines. Romney carried white women in 2012. In the Selzer survey, though, white women preferred Clinton to Trump by a margin of 50 percent to 40 percent.

The Trump brigade claims the New York billionaire’s populist message would bring out new voters. The data don’t agree. Among first-time participants in Republican primaries or caucuses, Trump predictably runs well ahead of Clinton, but the other Republican candidates still in the race do better. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz beat Clinton by much more among those first-time participants.

The Republican contests this year have produced a huge increase in voter turnout, much more than Democratic ones.

Trump says that’s because of him.

Others, such as Republican pollster Ed Goeas, who is active in the stopTrump movement, say instead it reflects the energy generated by a large initial field.

As for the states, a Siena College poll in New York State this month showed Clinton running more than 20 points ahead of Trump. A Pennsylvania poll gave her an eight-point advantage.

Occasionally, a presidential candidate does enlarge and even slightly alter the electorate. Ronald Reagan did it in 1980, as did Barack Obama in 2008. More often, promises to do that are the cries of candidates about to lose. Think of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and George McGovern in 1972.

As of today, and if he’s the nominee, Trump is likely to join the Goldwater-McGovern ranks.

Republicans act shocked their party might as well be one of Donald Trump’s hotels with his name plastered on it.

Barring a miracle or a coup at the convention, he will be the Republican presidential nominee. Many millions have been spent by the anti-Trump forces, to no avail. A prominent mainstream member of the party recently told me donors met secretly in a restaurant to plot their next move, but the only decision they have made was how they would like their steak done.

No one should be surprised. It takes a big tent to house Trump – the non-Golden Rule billionaire with New York values and five children by three wives – and Billy Graham, but that’s what the Republicans built. The party of Main Street hung out a welcome sign to resentful white southerners, tea partyers, home schoolers, anti-tax, anti-spend fiscal conservatives, evangelicals and militiamen; those who embrace creationism and reject science, and anyone with a grudge, not to mention isolationists and hawks. To those who long to deport undocumented immigrants, love automatic weapons and believe global warming is an Al Gore hoax, the party said “come on in.”

BUSINESS

Household spending and home building fuel modest U.S. growth The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Consumer spending and home construction are helping sustain modest U.S. economic growth despite problems caused by a strong dollar, low oil prices and an excess of business stockpiles.

The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at a 1.4 percent annual rate in the October-December period, the government said Friday. That was better than the 1 percent growth rate the government had estimated a month ago.

Much of the new-found strength came from consumer spending on services such as recreation, which helped offset a manufacturing slump caused in part by a global economic slowdown.

“The consumer and housing are driving the economy despite some nasty headwinds,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight. “Manufacturing for all intents and purposes is in a recession, whereas the service sectors are doing fairly well and housing has been a bright spot.”

Nearly two-thirds of the upward revision in GDP came from the boost in consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. Analysts were encouraged by the revised fourth-quarter estimate, saying it provided momentum for the rest of the year, when they expect growth to reach a stronger if still-modest 2 percent annual rate.

“Real economic growth was stronger than we thought late last year, and this makes us more hopeful that the first quarter will be better than expected,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at MUFG Union Bank in New York.

Economists said that steady job growth will support further gains in spending and help ease the pressures from overseas. The rise in the dollar’s value has contributed to a higher trade deficit by making U.S. exports more expensive overseas and imports less expensive for Americans.

Another source of weakness has come from the drop in oil prices, which has triggered layoffs at energy companies and sharp reductions in investment spending on drilling and exploration.

Friday’s report showed that residential investment grew at an annual

On Friday, the Commerce Department issues the third and final estimate of how the U.S. economy performed in the October-December quarter. rate of 10.1 percent in the October-December quarter. That surge helped offset a 2.1 percent drop in nonresidential investment resulting in part from the cutbacks at energy companies.

Trade subtracted 0.14 percentage point from growth in the fourth quarter. This was slightly less than previously thought because the weakness in exports was less than previously estimated. A slowdown in inventory building cut 0.2 percentage point from growth. Economists say this drag has continued into the current quarter.

The estimated growth of GDP – the nation’s total output of goods and services – was the government’s third and final look at economic expansion for the October-December quarter.

The areas of weakness contributed to a 7.8 percent plunge in corporate profits in the fourth quarter after a 1.6 percent drop in the third quarter.

Fourth quarter profits were down 11.5 percent from a year earlier – the steepest annual drop since 30.8 percent plunge in the fourth quarter of 2008 at the depths of the financial crisis.

Although profit declines of that magnitude can raise concerns about a possible recession, Behravesh said they were heavily influenced by the weakness in the energy sector. Nearly 80 percent of the $159.6 billion profit decline in the fourth quarter came from a plunge in profits in the petroleum and coal sectors.

“The profit decline was way overstated by the weakness in energy,” Behravesh said. “We are not in a recession, and we are not headed for one.

We think a recession this year or even next year is a low probability of only 20 percent.”

Behravesh said he foresees annualized GDP growth in the current

January-March quarter of around 1.5 percent, with gradual strengthening as the weakness from low energy prices and paring of stockpile levels wanes.

He predicted that growth in the second and third quarters would be around 2.5 percent and then rise to around 3 percent by the final three months of this year.

This month, the Federal Reserve left its key policy rate unchanged after having raised it from a record low in December. Fed officials also scaled back their expectations for the number of rate hikes this year from four to two.

The officials said they thought the global economy and financial markets still pose risks even though financial markets have stabilized since the year began. Stocks had nosedived after investors worried about how steep the slowdown would be in China, the world’s second-largest economy.

Our marketing message became, “Better than a lucky Google search or Yelp review: Meet local business and organizations In person.”

When anyone searches online for home improvement, health care, finance or any business, their next step is to read reviews or ask for people’s opinions. A better way for you to make informed decisions is to meet directly with businesses, organizations, government agencies and political candidates.

Review your finances and ask, “Is your execution plan too expensive for the anticipated revenue?” You shouldn’t hope to recoup money spent that you don’t have. Instead, you should review fixed costs and determine what you have to sell to cover those required costs.

But you must include marketing.

The idea that because “you build it, they will come” only works in the movies. You have to invest in your initiative and have a sequence of spending steps. We were able to spend a little more on marketing because initial sales were strong. As we marketed more, awareness and sales increased.

Ten U.S. states still have not regained all the jobs they lost in the Great Recession, even after six and a half years of recovery, while many more have seen only modest gains.

Job totals trail pre-recession levels in 10 U.S. states The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Ten U.S. states still have not regained all the jobs they lost in the Great Recession, even after six and a half years of recovery, while many more have seen only modest gains.

The figures help illustrate the uneven nature of the economic rebound since the Great Recession ended in June 2009. They also suggest why many Americans feel the improvement has passed them by. Ongoing economic anxiety, despite some data suggesting the economy has recovered, is fueling much of the support for insurgent presidential candidates such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

Wyoming had 3 percent fewer jobs last month than it did in December 2007, when the recession began, the Labor Department said Friday. That is the biggest percentage decline among the states. Alabama’s job total trails its pre-recession level by 2.7 percent, followed by New Mexico, where job totals are 2.6 percent lower.

Some larger states are also still behind. New Jersey has nearly 1 percent fewer jobs than it did at the end of 2007, and Missouri is just below its pre-recession level.

The other five are: Mississippi, Nevada, Maine, Connecticut, and West Virginia.

Other states have made very small gains that likely trail population growth. Illinois has 8,600 more jobs than it did in December 2007, a gain of just 0.1 percent. Arizona’s job count is up just 9,200, or 0.3 percent. And Ohio

has added 58,100 jobs, or 1.1 percent.

All those gains are far below the 4 percent increase in jobs nationwide from December 2007 through February 2016, according to government figures.

Three-fifths of states have seen job gains below that national average.

Some areas have seen much greater hiring. Four states have recorded double-digit increases in their total payrolls, along with Washington, D.C.: North Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Colorado.

The oil and gas drilling boom has lifted North Dakota’s job count by more than 20 percent, although falling energy prices have caused significant layoffs in the past year.

Texas has also benefited from the energy boom, as well as greater hightech hiring in cities like Austin. Utah and Colorado have also benefited from fast-growing information technology companies.

The data also shows how the decline in the unemployment rate in some states has exaggerated the improvement in their economies. The rate in Michigan, for example, fell to 4.8 percent last month, down from 5.9 percent a year ago and one-tenth of a point below the national average.

Yet Michigan’s job count has increased just 1.6 percent since the recession began, less than half the nationwide gain.

Its unemployment rate has fallen in large part because many of those who lost jobs have since given up looking for work. When people stop job-hunting, they are no longer counted as unemployed.

The results show we had a successful event. How do we know? Event attendance and booth sales both were up.

Direct feedback from exhibitors at the expo included: “Best results I have had at an Expo in a long time.”

“We’ll definitely be back next year.”

“They didn’t know we were in the community until today.”

Some attendees told us: “I was looking for home services, and we got our quotes.”

“I wanted to talk to a specific business that was attending the expo.”

“We just moved to the area, and it was great to see what businesses were in the area!”

Our renewed success at the expo was not by accident. Our expo has a long history of great success. But just like any business, we found ourselves in transition during the past two years. After the expo last year, we were not satisfied with our results. We had to decide whether to reinvest and reinvent the event or raise the white flag and end it. As Kenny Rogers sang, “You have to know when to hold’em, know when to fold’em and know when to walk away.”

So, our team debriefed after the event last year, regrouped, gathered feedback and planned for success. To reinvent the expo, our committee focused on five key objectives that apply to any business assessing its products or services.

U2 TO BE HONORED AT iHEARTRADIO AWARDS

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2016

Gary Shandling, as an actor and comedian pioneered a pretend brand of self-focused docudrama with “The Larry Sanders Show.”

Shandling’s ‘The Larry Sanders Show’ changed comedy

NEW YORK – From 1992 to 1998, the six-season run of Garry Shandling’s “The Larry Sanders Show” was little-watched, little-rewarded and yet became one of the most influential TV shows of the last 25 years.

It was a quiet landmark, airing on HBO before “The Sopranos” or any other shows more famously revamped TV. But reverence for it – a near perfect piece of comedy, radical in its unadorned portrait of a nightly late-night show and the damaged men behind it – steadily grew from cult to canon in the years that followed.

Shandling’s death Thursday in Los Angeles sent fans everywhere reaching for DVDs, YouTube clips or remembered catch phrases from the 66-year-old comedian’s masterpiece. “The Larry Sanders Show” was the forerunner to a new kind of painfully awkward, hysterically authentic comedy that would inspire “The Office,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Arrested Development” and a generation of comics.

Debuting just months after Johnny Carson signed off, “The Larry Sanders Show” signaled a new era. Shandling, who had guest-hosted for “The Tonight Show,” was offered other late-night hosting gigs, but turned them down. Coming off his meta, fourth-wall breaking “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” Shandling was more interested in what happened behind the scenes of a talk show and in the moments in between jokes.

In a time when laugh tracks were still ubiquitous, the multicamera “Larry Sanders Show” went for realism instead of punchlines.

“I was asking everybody to go beyond what was TV comedy at that time,” Shandling once told The Los Angeles Times. “I knew we were headed into different territory. I knew the philosophy of a creative process in which people were allowed to make mistakes and to play real moments and to risk. And that takes courage, the courage that I needed to find, and I think that everyone on the show needed to find. And that’s really the bond that we have: It’s that we were all in this lab experiment to find the courage just to be, not to make a ‘TV series.’ ”

LOS ANGELES – U2 will be honored with the Innovator Award at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards for their impact on popular culture and commitment to social causes.

IHeartMedia announced Friday that the special honor will be given to the rock band during the awards show April 3 in Los Angeles. The show will air live on TBS, TNT and truTV, as well as on iHeartRadio stations and across the iHeartRadio digital music platform.

The film stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill as the dueling superheroes and cost a reported $250 million to produce.

Analysts predict it could earn around $150 million this weekend despite largely negative reviews.

The $27.7 million debut is a record-breaker for the Easter weekend slot. “Furious 7” previously held that title with its $15.8 million launch last year.

After they took their bows, director Walter Bobbie walked onstage and handed Martin a banjo. After Martin strapped it on, he launched into “Sun’s Gonna Shine,” with Brickell and the show’s star, Carmen Cusack, trading verses as the audience clapped along.

HAVANA – Tens of thousands of jubilant Cubans swarmed the site of the Rolling Stones’ free concert Friday in Havana, calling it a historic moment for a country that once forced rock fans to listen to their favorite music behind closed doors.

Coming two days after Barack Obama finished the first trip to Cuba by a U.S. president in nearly 90 years, the evening concert cemented the communist-run nation’s opening to the world.

Organizers expect at least a half million spectators to see the biggest act to play in Cuba since its 1959 revolution.

“After today I can die,” said night watchman Joaquin Ortiz. The 62-yearold said he’s been a huge rock fan since he was a teenager in the 1960s, when Cuba’s communist government frowned on U.S. and British bands and he had to hide his Beatles and Stones albums in covers borrowed from albums of appropriately revolutionary Cuban groups.

“This is like my last wish, seeing the Rolling Stones.”

Small groups of people slept overnight outside the Ciudad Deportiva, or Sports City, where a massive stage had been set up for the British rock legends. Tens of thousands more people

bec, said David Bowie’s recent death inspired her to catch the Rolling Stones while they were still playing, and the historic nature of the Cuba concert provided an extra push.

“It’ll be quite nice to be able to see Keith [Richards] in the flesh,” she said, adding that she decided to come with only two weeks’ notice. “It’s a slight crazy opportunity.”

On arrival in Havana, lead singer Mick Jagger indirectly referenced the recent changes in Cuba. Obama re-established diplomatic relations with Cuba last year and called for the two countries to move toward full normalization in order to end the legacy of the Cold War and prompt Cuba to engage in more reforms of its single-party system and centrally controlled economy.

“Obviously, something has happened in the last few years,” Jagger told reporters at Jose Marti International Airport. “So, time changes everything .... We are very pleased to be here and I’m sure it’s going to be a great show.”

Cuban musicologist Joaquin Borges characterized the event as “very important,” saying it would be the biggest rock concert of its kind ever on the island. He predicted that it would encourage “other groups of that stature to come and perform.”

Essence New faucets come in five different sizes, including medium and the large size here. The faucets have a clean, minimalist shape that includes a new 35mm cartridge with a temperature limiter ring, reducing the risk of scalding. For a shared bathroom, it is best to maximize space and minimize clutter so everyone can get along.

10 ways to make sharing a bathroom easier

uring the morning rush before school or work, the bathSo jostling roommates and family members, take heart: room easily can become a crowded war zone cluttered Here are 10 ways to make bathroom coexistence easier, from bigger investments such as double sinks and updated showers with toothbrushes and hair products. to easy tricks and affordable gadgets that maximize space and But sharing even a tiny bathroom doesn’t have to be an minimize clutter. ordeal.

••• Look high and low for storage space Oust the extraneous Consider the kids Cooperate and clean

“The main thing is take a fresh look at your space and make use of unutilized areas,” said Betsy Goldberg, home director at Real Simple magazine. An under-the-sink expandable organizer (like one at The Container Store) fits around the drainpipe to make the most of an often forgotten space, she said.

An inconspicuous shelf (Ikea) also can be hung above the doorway. Stashing things out of the way creates more elbow room around the mirror and sink.

“If you’re going to share a bathroom, it’s important to move all non-essentials out. Toilet paper can go in a trunk in the hallway outside the bathroom or on a shelf installed above the bathroom door,” Goldberg said. “Towels can be rolled and put in neutral straw baskets in a narrow console in the hallway. The bathroom is prime real estate, and hampers are so bulky they would be better off in bedroom closets or the hall.”

Make cabinets do more

“If you can, give each person a drawer of their own,” Goldberg said.

“But when keeping things in a shared medicine cabinet, it’s easiest to store things if you keep like with like, instead of separating things by person.”

Keep smaller items in order with the right wall cabinets and organizing tools. Goldberg recommends MagnaPods (The Container Store), which fit easily on the inside of cabinet doors to hold makeup tubes and brushes upright and out of sight. And don’t forget that medicine-cabinet shelves are adjustable. “People usually keep the shelves wherever they are, but just adjusting the shelves can help make cabinets much more efficient,” she said. Acrylic display boxes (Nile Corp.) also help maximize space.

Be savvy about sorting

Clear the counters

For hair dryers and other styling tools, the Blow Away Vanity Organizer (Organizeit.com), keeps things up and out of the way. Essentials also can be hung on humidity-resistant Command Hooks, available at many hardware stores and other retailers.

If kids are sharing a bathroom with adults, they might do better with low hooks than towel bars; that way, they can put things back themselves, said Cheryl Dixon, head of brand and trade marketing at Grohe America.

It might help to schedule bathroom times, and every person using the bathroom should learn to clear the drain and change the toilet roll, said Leslie Josel, author of “What’s the Deal with Teens and Time Management.”

If you can remodel, see double

Set the mood

“Double sinks are the most important features in shared bathrooms,” Goldberg said.

And showers can be customized to each person’s height and spray preferences, Dixon said.

“Do you want a hand shower or head shower? Choosing one with different spray settings helps a lot and makes sharing a shower much easier,” she said.

Digital-technology faucets remember user settings for each person’s preferred water temperature and flow.

Dixon noted her company’s Retrofit shower, with exposed piping, lets you change out the whole shower if need be without breaking the wall. “It just fits right onto the existing plumbing,” she said.

Consider colors, materials, flooring and lighting to spruce up the room.

“These are a really low-cost way to redo a bathroom. Just pay attention to décor as you would any other room in the house,” Dixon said. “Soft celadon, creamy yellow or pure white with colorful accents give the bathroom more of a spa feel.”

Add little luxuries

Small touches such as warming towel racks and plush, high-quality towels and bath mats can add a lot to a bathroom, Dixon said.

“Also consider candles and nice lotions and hand wash. And flowers accentuate any room in the house,” she said. “Little luxuries can completely change the feel of a bathroom, and everyone in the family will enjoy them.”

French breakfast radishes are typical of many edibles that are eaten raw. They need to be washed before serving to remove dirt and bacteria as well as any residual pesticides.

E. coli and salmonella are the most frequently reported foodborne illnesses. Symptoms include

so beneficial bacteria can kill out the harmful types. Mix compost frequently, and ensure it reaches temperatures of 140 degrees or more for prolonged periods to reduce or eliminate E. coli contamination.

“Food safety isn’t on the radar screen in many cases for home gardeners,” said Kurt Nolte, an agriculture agent with the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona. “Many gardeners, including myself, just don’t have (compost) temperature probes that go that high.”

• Clean tools and yourself after gardening.

“Keep pets out of the garden, use a high-quality water source, ensure that people in the garden are not sick, and that there’s no human waste on your hands or person,” Nolte said.

• Wash all fruits and vegetables before eating them, especially if serving them raw. Washing removes dirt and bacteria as well as residual pesticides.

Cooking kills many pathogens, and promptly refrigerating leftovers will slow the growth of harmful bacteria.

Gardening delivers produce that is tastier, cheaper and safer than store-bought, right? Well, not necessarily safer.

“There’s always the potential from contamination, whether you grow your own food or buy it at the market,” said Marisa Bunning, an extension food safety specialist at Colorado State University.

“You know more about (food safety) and have more control over it with a home garden, but animals have more access to your yard than with specialty crops grown on farms,” she said. “Not only wildlife, but pets.”

Most food-borne illnesses are infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

There’s also a danger from toxins or chemical contaminants.

“Many food-borne pathogens also can be acquired through recreational or drinking water, through contact with animals or their environment, or through person-to-person spread,” the agency says.

diarrhea and vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever and joint pain.

Severity depends on an individual’s health, but children and the elderly comprise the highest risk groups, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Food safety specialists recommend guarding against contamination from field to fork. That means minimizing hazards in the garden and being careful when handling food in the kitchen.

Some guidelines: • Choose the right garden location, especially in cities, Bunning said.

“Avoid areas near septic tanks or runoff and aerosols from contaminated irrigation systems,” she said.

“Septic tanks or reservoirs could be leaking.”

• Use only potable water for your produce. Groundwater from wells (the deeper the better) is generally safer than water from streams or ponds. Drip systems are better than sprinklers for avoiding direct water contact with edibles such as leafy greens growing above the soil.

• Manage manure and compost properly. Age it from 2 to 4 months

Prevent recurrent back pain Dear Dr K: I get back pain every so often. It can last a week and interferes with my life. Can exercises prevent more attacks in the future?

Dear reader: Absolutely yes – if you do them regularly. Exercise is a great way to prevent repeat episodes of low back pain.

The right exercise program will help you build strong, flexible muscles that will be less prone to injury.

There are a lot of people like you who suffer from recurrent back pain. About 80 percent of U.S. adults report having experienced at least one bad episode of back pain. One of the reasons back pain is so common may be we’re out of shape.

What do I mean? Until about a century ago, most human beings were physically active most of the day.

The great majority of U.S. citizens lived (and worked) on farms, and that involved a lot of walking and lifting. You may think of lifting as mainly involving the arms, but lifting something heavy involves using the back, abdominal and leg muscles as well.

Our muscles were built to support a life of frequent physical activity – particularly a lot of walking and lifting. But that’s a life few of us have today, so our muscles tend to get weak and stiff.

Weak muscles – particularly weak back and abdominal muscles – cause or worsen many cases of low back pain.

Stretching and strengthening both your back and abdominal muscles can help prevent a recurrence of the problem.

The best exercises are those that strengthen and stretch the muscles that support your spine. Strong abdominal or flexor muscles help people maintain an upright posture. So do strong extensor muscles, which run up and down the full length of the back. They help keep the

vertebrae, the bones of your spine, straight. In addition, two long muscles that run from the lower vertebrae to the hips and the buttock muscles help support the back during walking, standing and sitting.

Stretching equally is important for a person plagued by back problems. Supple, well-stretched muscles are less prone to injury. Stretch regularly, but gently.

Don’t bounce, as that can cause injury.

Beginners should start by holding the stretch for five seconds or so, and then gradually build up to roughly 30-second stretches over time.

In addition to exercises that increase the strength and flexibility of your lower back, you should engage in regular aerobic exercise. It has many benefits for general health and also helps prevent back pain. Choose activities that are low in risk and high in benefit for your back.

Swimming, walking and bicycling lead the list.

Talk to your doctor about working with a physical therapist. A therapist can help design a safe and effective exercise program for you.

Once you’ve got that program established, do it regularly. That statement may seem obvious, but I’ve had some patients who seem to think a week of exercises can prevent future back pain forever. If only that were so.

more information about your boyfriend’s “strategic financial planning” because I’m sure many people would be very interested. However, if he’s investing in the stock market, he should know it’s like an elevator – investments not only can go up, but they also can come down, and there are no guarantees regarding investment results.

Before this relationship goes further, I urge you and your boyfriend to seek not only couples counseling, but also financial counseling. Few things are more destructive to a marriage than money woes, and you both need someone to explain exactly what the philosophy of “I want it all, and I want it now” will mean for your future.

Dear Abby: I’m having a problem with my boyfriend’s friend “Chuck.” Chuck constantly does things such as open a door on me (which has left bruises), run into me “by accident” (which caused me to trip) or “accidentally” push me into the water. My boyfriend already knows I have strong reservations about his friend’s character, and it upsets him because Chuck is a childhood friend.

I don’t like to bring it up as often as these incidents occur, but I’m worried one day I’ll finally lose my temper and be accused of making a big deal out of nothing when it’s obviously something. How can I make Chuck stop before something happens? – Uncomfortable In California Dear Uncomfortable: Has it occurred to you that Chuck may be jealous of the time you and his friend spend together, and may be punishing you because he feels you have taken his friend away from him? I suggest this because that’s the way he has been acting – literally trying to “push” you out of the picture. I see nothing wrong with telling your boyfriend about everything Chuck has “accidentally” done to you, and then letting him deal with his friend’s insecurities.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have been dating my boyfriend for Jeanne two years. He is Phillips applying to graduate school, while I am applying to medical school. He’s wonderful, and we talk often about marriage and our future.

Both of us have student loan debt, which we aggressively are working to pay down, pulling long hours at work.

My problem is he thinks nothing of planning weeks-long, extravagant vacations for us. I make twice what he does, but I prefer saving for the obvious debt in my future and taking shorter, less-expensive vacations. He relies on his “strategic financial planning” to compensate for his “I want it all, and I want it now” personality.

When I express my hesitancy to go on these long trips based on my personal finances, he offers to pay for everything, which makes me feel like a cheapskate, since I technically could pay for us both easily. Am I unreasonable in saying I’m uncomfortable with either of us spending thousands of dollars that would be better spent setting up our future together? – Vacation

David Sarnoff, a businessman and media pioneer who died in 1971, said, “Success, in a generally accepted sense of the term, means the opportunity to experience and to realize to the maximum the forces that are within us.”

At the bridge table, we would like to end each deal with the maximum possible score. That usually only requires bidding and playing sensibly.

But sometimes it needs a little of that je ne sais quoi.

In today’s deal, look at the North hand. South opens one spade, North raises to two spades, and South rebids three clubs. What should North do now?

South’s three-club bid is a helpsuit game-try, asking North to look in particular at his black suits. With few points there, North signs off in three spades; but with good holdings, he typically jumps to four spades. However, with a magic hand like this one, he tells partner about the double fit by raising to four clubs.

Now analyze the deal. How does South get on with (a) spades or (b) clubs as trumps?

In spades, South has only 11 tricks: five spades, one diamond and five clubs. Declarer must lose either two diamonds or one trick in each red suit.

In clubs, though, there are 12 winners: five spades, one diamond, five clubs, and one heart ruff in South, the shorter trump hand. Two diamond losers disappear from North on South’s fourth and fifth spades.

When North raises three clubs to four clubs, South, placing his partner with the spade queen and club acequeen, should go for the maximum by jumping to six clubs.

NORTHWEST HERALD GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

Frey coaches Johnsburg to record-setting season

By ALEX KANTECKI

T

he Johnsburg girls basketball team won its first regional championship since 2011 and first sectional championship since 2010, tying the school record with 28 wins.

The Skyhawks – who finished 28-4 – lost to North Lawndale Prep, 50-41, in a Class 3A Concordia University Supersectional.

For leading Johnsburg to a record-setting season, Skyhawks coach Brad Frey has been named the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Coach of the Year, as selected by the sports staff. Frey took over in 2011-12, and Johnsburg has gone 48-14 over the past two years.

1. What will you remember most about this season?

The picture of Aannah Interrante from the (Class 3A Concordia University) supersectional game shooting a 3, and the entire sea of Skyhawks students watching it with their hands up in the air. That was such great support by all those kids. They drove a pretty long way to be there.

2. Which player made you laugh the most?

Lexi Altmann. She adopted one of our basketballs and started calling it Edward.

She even wrote “Edward” in quotes on the ball, and everyday in practice she had to grab Edward.

3. If you could hop in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and Marty McFly, what athletic contest would you want to see?

I would love to go watch Wilt Chamberlain score those 100 points.

4. If you had one last meal to eat, what would be included?

I would go back to Ladd, Illinois, down by LaSalle and Peru, and go to Rip’s (Tavern) and

get fried chicken.

5. What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you in competition?

Daniel Kelly and Dani McCauley said I was too old to dunk at Little Dribblers, and I threw it down with some style, and my biceps tendon exploded. Three weeks later, I was in surgery. I’m still worried about playing golf this spring. I’m not sure if it was funny, but they certainly laugh at it now.

6. If you could have any vehicle, what would it be?

I would take a ’57 Thunderbird. My dad had a ’57 Thunderbird when he was growing up, and I would love to have one right now.

Actually, I would love to have it and give him back one. Those were some sweet rides back in the day.

7. Which one of your players inspires you?

I was really inspired by Chelsea Benbenek.

She’s a senior who didn’t play much. She got cut last year and came back. She was a unanimous pick by her teammates for the Sportsmanship Award. She totally understood, enjoyed it and appreciated the opportunity that was there. I really give her and (senior) Sam Mulvihill credit for coming back.

8. What are three sports movies you can watch over and over?

Hoosiers, The Pride of the Yankees, Slap Shot

9. What sport that you don’t play would be good at?

In college, I was a [heck] of a badminton player after taking eight weeks of badminton class.

10. What are you looking forward to most next season?

Watching how much these girls improve over the summer and fall. They just work so hard, and they really make this job really easy.

Marengo’s Leah Secor heads for home and scores during Friday’s game against Wauconda at Chicago Bandits Stadium in Rosemont.

walks.

She retired the first two batters in the seventh, then allowed a walk, a single and a walk.

On a 3-2 count, Wauconda catcher Taylor McCarthy hit a ball that was dropped in the outfield, scoring Hayley Redmann and Alyssa McCarthy to send the Bulldogs to the win.

“I was just trying to move the ball off the plate more,” said Dionne, who wasn’t scheduled to pitch Friday but entered in the third inning in relief of starting pitcher Allison Jasinski and Leah Secor. “I wasn’t really trying to let them get a solid hit, trying to get them to pop up. ... We just lacked in the little things, and had poor execution.”

The dropped fly ball was the result of a lack of communication between outfielders, Nance said, but not the only reason Marengo lost Friday.

“That wasn’t the whole game because we had opportunities to score, and just didn’t get the job done,” he said. “We probably left seven, eight, nine (runners) on base. ... Until we actually start doing those things, we’re going to continue to lose because our schedule has no forgiveness in it.

We’re in trouble. This thing can head

south really fast if we don’t get it in gear.”

The Indians put up four runs in the first inning on two hits and were aided by three Wauconda errors. The Bulldogs came right back and scored three runs in the bottom half on four straight hits.

Marengo added one run in the second and fourth inning, and two in the third.

Sophomore second baseman Anna Walsweer went 2 for 4 with a triple, RBI and a run scored for the Indians, Susie Nawrot scored three runs and drove in one, while Megan Anthony, Riley Connell and Nina Reed each collected one RBI. Wauconda shortstop Brooke Sefcik was 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs. Her solo home run to start the fourth inning accounted for the only earned run charged against Dionne.

“I feel like we’re not mentally tough,” Dionne said. “We got ahead in both of our two losses, and then we just think that we have it in the bag and we lose it. ... Everybody needs their own drive. Everybody needs to want to win.

Everybody needs to put forth their effort and put it all together.”

Has football become too dangerous for youth?

The debate over player safety in the NFL is a never-ending discussion, but it gained some steam this week with the New York Times’ report on the league’s misleading concussion research, in addition to a report by the Mercury News that the N AT E AT K I N S A N D A RT H U R A R K U S H NFL is funding the campaigns of some of the lawmakers reviewing that research.

The NFL, naturally, fired back a scathing denial of most of the Times’ report, but it didn’t refute the assertion that its data was wrong.

I’ve long believed that we’d It all adds layers to an ongoing debate reach a point with the game where we around the league and with football at all have all the fresh data we can gather and levels: How safe can we make the game? we’ve made it as safe as we can without Pro Football Weekly reporters Nate fundamentally changing the game to Atkins and Arthur Arkush discuss.

Arkush: Call it a copout, but I agree with your first point that it’s simply a personal preference. My preference – actually, my No. 1 priority as a parent – is keeping Spencer safe at all costs. Of course, the opportunity cost is he could miss out on some of the unique lessons football can teach, like the ones the Joliet Catholic players and so many other high school football players around the country benefit from. It’s also my responsibility to find other outlets for Spencer to have those same enriching experiences, which I think can be sufficiently replicated by participating in safer team sports or other activities. It’s very different, of course, but this matter is also deeply personal for me because my grandpa, father and uncle spent their lives dedicating themselves to covering the game, and I have had the opportunity to do the same. I have such an intense passion for the sport, but I believe it’s already fundamentally different from the one they covered decades ago and I’m afraid further attempts to make an inherently violent game safer will only continue doing so. Is there more that can be done to keep players safer and potentially sway the opinions of parents like me?

Atkins: The NFL could start presenting information honestly, for a change. I think the biggest advancements are going to take place at the lower levels of football, where kids are most at risk with small frames and even smaller attention spans. “Headsup Tackling” has made some waves, but it’s more the mentality of safety first that needs to be a central part of coaching.

Budget issues are going to make that hitor-miss the lower you go; it’s one of many reasons I’m not in favor of kids playing football before middle school. But at the highest level, is there something the NFL can say that would make people feel safer about chasing that dream?

Arkush: What a novel concept. I admire your optimism, Nate, but when it comes to the NFL saying and doing the right things, that’s another leap I won’t make.

NIU FOOTBALL: CONCUSSION RESEARCH

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com

• Saturday, March 26, 2016

DeKALB – Matt Wilson can’t help but think about it when he watches his beloved Steelers.

Since 2011, the Northern Illinois researcher has been studying concussions in athletes and he said that what he’s found has changed the way he watches football.

“I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m a huge, huge football fan, but I watch it with some level of trepidation because I know – I have the knowledge of what are these guys doing to themselves,” said Wilson, who played football in high school and grew up in the Pittsburgh area. “You see the big hits on TV and the crowd is cheering.

Yeah, it was a good hit, but on the other side you have to think about those hits are potentially – not for everybody but for some – they’re going to add up.

“I still watch the game. I love the teamwork and the camaraderie of it but I don’t look at it the same way I did before I started really getting involved in this research. It changes your perspective of the game.”

Wilson, a hearing scientist in the Northern Illinois Department of Audiology, began his work on concussions while studying at the University of Tennessee. One such study involved getting brain scans of three different groups – one that didn’t play a contact sport, one that played football and suffered a concussion and one that played football and weren’t diagnosed with a concussion.

He said what he found was the amount of head trauma in football left little difference between the group that had a concussion and the one that had not been diagnosed with a concussion. He also said that his research has found a correlation between football and concussions.

“I’m not alone in that,” said Wilson, 31. “Does it exist? Yes. But I think football has received a lot of the negative press only because that’s where the spotlight is now. You have to remember, it’s a very, very small – particularly the NFL, because they’re a giant machine, everything gets thrown at them – that sample people have been scrutinizing is so small in terms of what it means for the general population.”

Wilson, who earned his PhD from the University of Tennessee, said the percentage of concussions or head trauma that comes from athletics is small. He has a long-term study group of about six to eight athletes – including two high school football players and a wrestler – and has done the study with 30 to 50 individuals. He said one

Professor looks at sport differently after research

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

NIU hearing scientist and professor Matt Wilson looks over data during an otoacoustic emissions suppression test in hopes to learn more about how hearing may show changes in brain functions after a brain injury on Friday In his lab.

Athlete Daniel Romero, an NIU grad student, during a break in his otoacoustic emissions suppression test Friday in the lab. of the biggest obstacles of his study is the willingness of the athletes – particularly football players – to participate.

“The thing we run up against a lot is fear, with regards of the information we’re collecting,” Wilson said.

“It’s such a hot topic and there’s negative connotations associated with it.

Many times athletes are hesitant to get involved because (a) they don’t want to know and (b) they’re afraid that the information we collect will somehow

get back to the coach and effect their playing time and their starting spot.”

Wilson, who jokes that the mentality was to simply “rub some dirt on it” during his playing days, also said the mentality to simply tough it out in football can also heighten the problem.

“It should be OK for an athlete to say, ‘Coach, I got rocked. I’m not feeling great, I think I’m going to sit out the rest of the game.’ The culture of the game is something we, as research-

ers, fight against,” he said. “Those are the parts of the culture that needs to change. As long as you have that pressure, yeah, you’re going to have those guys who don’t want to be pulled out even though they really, really should sit out the rest of the game. How do you change that? I don’t know.”

The symptoms of a concussion don’t necessarily show right away, Wilson said. He acknowledged that he believes there will be future rule changes along with the ones that have been made in the past few years to combat the epidemic of concussions.

While concussions are most notably talked about when it comes to football, Wilson said women’s hockey actually has the highest rate of concussions of any sport. He also added that the injury is possible in several sports – including going up for a header in soccer.

He has a 2-year-old son and while he said he’s unsure if he will let him play football in high school, he added that if his son was in high school now, he wouldn’t allow him to play.

“We know more than we did,” Wilson said of the concussion research.

“Research really picked up in the early 2000s and as of late, in the last decade because of the NFL and all the controversy surrounding the NFL. We know a lot, but there’s still so much we need to learn.”

14 NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Notre Dame advances to Elite 8 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA – Mike Brey can skip a stint on the disabled list.

He has at least one more Notre Dame game to coach.

Brey was so annoyed over a perceived missed call in the second half, he leaped in protest – and failed to stick the landing. Brey pulled a calf muscle in his right leg and – moments after putting Wisconsin’s season on ice –needed a cold wrap as he hobbled toward the locker room.

“No surgery needed. But I’m a little sore,” Brey said, smiling. “I told the guys I’m the first one taped on Sunday.”

Yes, the Fighting Irish are back in the regional final – with a limping coach and some unfinished business.

Demetrius Jackson stripped the ball and scored the go-ahead layup with 14.7 seconds left and Notre Dame advanced to the brink of its first Final Four in 38 years with a 61-56 win over Wisconsin on Friday in the East Region semifinal of the NCAA Tournament.

Jackson sealed the win with a second steal – credit this win to the Pluck of the Irish – and sank two free throws to send the Irish (24-11) into a regional final for the second straight season.

Notre Dame lost to Kentucky a year ago. This year, the Irish will get a shot at top-seeded North Carolina on Sunday.

North Carolina 101, Indiana 86: At Philadelphia, Marcus Paige scored 21 points and North Carolina continued its offensive prowess, moving to the Elite Eight for the 20th time since 1975.

The top-seeded Tar Heels (31-6) will meet sixth-seeded Notre Dame on Sunday, determining one of two guaranteed Atlantic Coast Conference spots in the Final Four.

It will be the same case in the Midwest Regional, where top-seeded Virginia will face 10th-seeded Syracuse, meaning at least half the Final Four will be from the ACC. The conference also will have a team play for the national title.

Brice Johnson had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who are in the regional final for the seventh time in coach Roy Williams’ 12 years and for the first time since 2012.

final seconds. Lydon then grabbed the ball and made two foul shots before Domantas Sabonis’ desperate fling was well off at the buzzer.

Gbinije scored 20 points and Trevor Cooney had 15 as Syracuse (22-13) advanced to the regional final for the first time since 2013. The 10th-seeded Orange will face No. 1 Virginia on Sunday in an all-ACC matchup with a spot MIDWEST REGION in the Final Four on the line.

Syracuse 63, Gonzaga 60: At Chica“I’m proud of this team,” Syracuse go, Michael Gbinije made a go-ahead coach Jim Boeheim said. “They played layup with 22 seconds left, sending their hearts out. We’ve been the underSyracuse to a victory over Gonzaga on dog every game and they fight their Friday and a spot in the Elite Eight. way through it. We’ll be the underdog Tyler Lydon sealed the win with a again on Sunday but we’ll be ready.” block on Josh Perkins’ runner in the Virginia 84, Iowa State 71: At Chicago,

Tony Bennett was spending time in the hotel room with his father, Dick, when the old coach had a question.

“He said, ‘You know what your grandfather would tell you?’ He’d tell you, ‘Don’t tiptoe into this one. No tiptoeing,’ ” Bennett said.

All Virginia did was stomp on Iowa State on Friday night.

Anthony Gill finished with a season-high 23 points, and Mike Tobey came off the bench to score 18, leading the top-seeded Cavaliers to a victory in the Midwest Region semifinals.

They withstood a second-half push by the fourth-seeded Cyclones (23-12) after grabbing a big lead in the early going and advanced to their first re-

gional final since 1995.

Virginia (29-7) will face Syracuse on Sunday. A win would send the Cavaliers to their first Final Four since 1984 and give both Bennetts the distinction of leading teams there. Dick coached Wisconsin to one in 2000.

“I feel like we’ve just gotten better and better,” ACC Player of the Year Malcolm Brogdon said. “We’ve battled through our ups and downs, and it’s a huge accomplishment.”

Georges Niang had another big game for Iowa State, finishing with 30 points after scoring 28 against both Iona and Arkansas-Little Rock in the first two rounds, but he also committed four fouls.
