Good morning, McHenry County ...

12 ‘Heroes’ worthy of recognition Today’s front page is dominated by the news of former McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Patrol Chief Matt McNamara being investigated internally before he resigned last month.

Documents show McNamara was under investigation for a sexual relationship with a woman he supervised and for harassment and workplace discrimination. I mean, really, who didn’t see this coming given McNamara’s history?

For every bad apple out there such as McNamara, there are hundreds of upstanding and honorable law enforcement officers who take seriously their duty to serve and protect.

On Thursday morning, the Northwest Herald honored a few of those law enforcement officers, along with other deserving firefighters and paramedics, at our Everyday Heroes breakfast.

Twelve first responders were honored for their service. The breakfast’s highlight was a

SALT LAKE CITY – Police in Utah said an officer who pulled over soul singer Gladys Knight was treated to an impromptu rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

Pleasant Grove Police Capt. Mike Roberts said Knight was a passenger in the car stopped for speeding Wednesday night about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Officer Paul Rogerson was checking the driver’s license when the woman said she was with Gladys Knight on the way to a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints choir performance. Knight is a Mormon convert, and Rogerson said she was speaking at the event.

Rogerson told the woman it was his birthday and Knight also got out of the car and sung to him.

Police said Rogerson let the driver go with a warning.

Documents: Ex-patrol leader was investigated for harassment, discrimination

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim’s former campaign manager, later named deputy chief of the patrol division despite his criminal background, was under investigation for a sexual relationship with a woman he supervised when he resigned in February, documents show.

Matt McNamara also was being investigated for harassment and workplace discrimination after an unofficial SWAT Christmas party in December, according to witness reports and other documents released by the sheriff’s office in response to a Northwest Herald Freedom of Information Act request.

A direct order from McNamara’s boss, Chief Operations Officer Ricardo Pagán, shows McNamara was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 2 as a result of the investigation. McNamara resigned Feb. 5.

“This memo is to notify you as of this date I am tendering my resignation to accept a position in the private sector continuing to work in my previous field where the demand for my services is extremely high,” McNamara wrote.

Before he took the sheriff’s office job, Mc- Bill Prim Namara’s criminal history was a campaign issue when Prim was running for sheriff in 2014.

McNamara was charged with driving under the influence in 2012 in Arizona. According to a police report from the time, McNamara blew more than twice the legal limit, and he told police that he was a Chicago police officer, even though he was not.

In police reports regarding bar fights in Iowa from 2001, witnesses said McNamara grabbed a patron by the throat, and, in a separate incident, he punched two women in the face and grabbed a third by her hair and dragged her through the parking lot.

A judge, in a 2001 bench trial, convicted McNamara of misdemeanor assault stemming from the first fight.

McNamara, who worked with Prim at the Des Plaines Police Department, had been Prim’s campaign manager early on and was an unpaid volunteer at the time of Prim’s 2014 election. The reasons for McNamara’s departure

If you look at that file, you will see a very large number of certifications for all sorts of law enforcement specialties. There is no question that he certainly had the qualifications.”

David Devane, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office chief administrative officer

from the Des Plaines department are unclear.

Despite criticism from Prim’s opponent, Jim Harrison, and Democrats about McNamara’s involvement in Prim’s 2014 campaign, the sheriff’s office stood by the decision to hire McNamara after Prim’s election. Prim and others pointed to McNamara’s experience running a security detail for a private company, and for Newt Gingrich and Gov. Bruce Rauner during their respective campaigns.

When reached this week, Prim again deferred to McNamara’s experience, which was documented in more than 100 pages of reBruce ports, certificates and Rauner emails provided to the Northwest Herald.

“If you saw his personnel file, you would see his was uniquely qualified for the position,” Prim said.

McNamara’s file is filled with dozens of certifications and course completion letters, as well as some praise for assisting in large-scale shooting drills. Among the accomplishments contained in police records, McNamara earned high marks while completing the School of Police Staff and Command at Northwestern University’s Center for Public Safety in 2003.

Chief Administrative Officer David Devane took a similar stance.

“If you look at that file, you will see a very large number of certifications for all sorts of law enforcement specialties,” Devane said. “There is no question that he certainly had the qualifications.”

City, D-155 agree on settlement

District to pay $260K in CL South bleacher fines

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Community High School District 155 will pay the city of Crystal Lake $260,000 in fines as a result of the dispute over the Crystal Lake South High School bleachers, the two parties recently agreed.

A settlement agreement made Friday is the conclusion of “a very ugly chapter in the history of intergovernmental relations in the city of Crystal Lake,” Mayor Aaron Shepley said.

The city filed a counterclaim against the School District 155 Board seeking fines to recoup losses in legal fees incurred throughout the almost three-year bleachers controversy.

The agreed-upon amount is less than what the city could have levied, Shepley

NEWS ALERTS

said, saying six violations were tallied with each violation carrying a maximum fee of $1,000 a day. Using that, the total amount ranged from $600,000 to $5.5 million.

“We said all along we aren’t interested in punishing another taxing body,” Shepley said, adding the city’s goal was only to cover the total cost of its legal fees.

By seeking fines from the district, he also said the cost will be more evenly spread across all the residents within territorially Aaron larger District 155, rather Shepley than just Crystal Lake.

“We appreciate the city’s willingness to work with the district to avoid significant fees,” according to an emailed statement from District 155 Director of Communications Shannon Mortimer. “The district is pleased with the city’s cooperation, and we will continue to work with the city moving forward. Court proceedings are still open, and we hope to resolve

them shortly.”

In addition to paying the city fines, District 155 in early February agreed to cover $273,000 in legal bills for the neighbors who filed the lawsuit.

The case dates back to August 2013, when property owners sued the school district over the expanded bleachers, arguing that the district bypassed the city’s zoning process.

Between then and now, the case has been in and out of the court system, including the Illinois Supreme Court, which sided with the city and neighbors by deciding the school district must comply with the city’s zoning process.

Noting the school district’s timely response after the city filed for fines, Shepley said the settlement brings the controversy to a close and will be good for the community.

“Assuming everybody continues to move forward in good faith ... I think we’ll have an opportunity to rebuild that relationship with the school board,” he said.

HARVARD – A structure fire to a barn north of Harvard in the Big Foot area caused about $300,000 in damage Thursday, a fire official said.

Harvard Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Bryan Pierce said the department was dispatched about 1:25 p.m. to 11403 Route 14 for a report of a structure fire. Less than 10 minutes later, they requested help from neighboring fire departments.

When crews arrived, the two-story barn near a residence had heavy fire showing, Pierce said. A group of about five people were in the barn, and all evacuated safely, he said.

The barn was being used by a business making pallets, Pierce said.

He said the fire was contained within an hour, and crews spent the next four and a half hours cleaning up and putting out hot spots. The barn was torn down because it was unsafe, Pierce said.

The cause still is under investigation.

With a minimum of research, we were able to collect suspicious data that these County Board members are going to have to answer for.

Officials: Local 150 union tipped off IMRF about board hours

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A tip from a labor union upset with the McHenry County Board’s endorsement of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda” led to the ongoing inquiry by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund as to whether board members are working the 1,000 hours a year necessary to earn a pension.

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, after being contacted by the newspaper, said it provided IMRF with the tip.

The reason, spokesman Ed Maher said, was the board’s 2015 vote on a symbolic resolution to support Rauner’s agenda, which includes significant curtailing of collective bargaining powers.

“The local saw that the County Board was Louis Kosiba aiming at workers’ pensions through the ‘Turnaround Agenda,’ ” Maher said. “We also were aware as an organization that the County Board is a part-time position, yet they collect pensions under IMRF. The question became whether they were working the 1,000 hours as required.”

Local 150 was one of many local unions that showed up in big numbers at the April 9 meeting in which board members voted, 16-5, to approve the nonbinding resolution supporting the agenda of Rauner, who was elected in 2014 on a reform platform aimed at reversing Illinois’ dire economic and political fortunes.

The union represents county government building maintenance workers and McHenry County Division of Transportation drivers.

IMRF Director Louis Kosiba told the Northwest Herald on Monday that the agency was looking into board members’ work hours.

He was joined by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who said he will ask State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi for a special prosecutor to see if any crimes were committed – cheating IMRF is a

Class 3 felony.

A thousand hours a year works out to about 20 hours a week for 50 weeks.

State law sets a minimum standard of 600 hours a year to qualify for IMRF benefits, but the County Board in 1997 set a higher 1,000-hour standard by ordinance.

All but four of the County Board’s 24 members, more than 80 percent, are now paying into IMRF, according to records.

Two members outright spurned the pension and declined their IMRF eligibility, while the other two are not paying in because they already are receiving IMRF pensions through their previous government jobs. The percentage is the largest of the collar counties, IMRF data shows.

Like McHenry County, the DuPage and Lake county boards adopted Rep. the higher 1,000-hour Jack Franks standard. Eleven of the DuPage County Board’s 19 members – 18 board members and the elected chairman – participate in IMRF, as do 16 of the 21 members of the Lake County Board.

The Kane County Board has a percentage about equal to McHenry County, with 21 of its 25 members participating, but the county has the lower 600-hour standard.

So does Will County, where 15 of its 27 board members participate. Their totals also include an elected chairman and a county executive, respectively.

The IMRF’s policy manual states that people elected to county and township boards and municipal governments with the 1,000-hour threshold likely will not qualify for IMRF pensions, “barring highly unusual circumstances.”

After the April 9 vote, Local 150 added up the hours that McHenry County Board members were present in meetings for the 2014 calendar year, based on minutes and attendance records.

Maher said the numbers made it “seem like an awful stretch” that board

members were working the 1,000 hours.

“With a minimum of research, we were able to collect suspicious data that these County Board members are going to have to answer for,” Maher said.

But McHenry County Board members in the wake of the allegations have defended their workloads.

Under IMRF rules, elected officials can count meeting attendance, preparing for meetings, talking with constituents and employees, and attendance at civic functions in an official capacity as being “on the clock.” Hours that board members are commuting, or the idea of being “on call” for constituents, cannot be counted.

The IMRF in the wake of Local 150’s tip asked County Board members last July to fill out forms certifying their annual 1,000 hours of work – 20 of the 24 did so.

The other four either declined IMRF pensions through the county or were leaving office and would not be putting in the minimum number of years to receive a pension.

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

Eligible officials and employees elected or hired before 2011 must serve a minimum of eight years to be eligible for an IMRF pension.

Reforms to the state pension systems increased that threshold to 10 years starting in 2011.

At a salary of $21,000 a year, a board member’s pension does not add up to much – IMRF participants contribute 4.5 percent of each paycheck into the system.

Local 150 filed a lawsuit last year against the County Board, alleging that a private meeting between eight board members and Rauner the day before the resolution vote violated the Open Meetings Act. The lawsuit, which seeks to have the symbolic resolution declared null and void, still is active.

Catholic school to close by May 24 Teachers to get priority within diocesan system

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HARVARD – St. Joseph Catholic School in Harvard will close by May 24, according to a news release from the Diocese of Rockford.

The 100-year-old school with an enrollment of 57 students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade was being reviewed by the Diocese of Rockford after years of declining enrollment and funds.

St. Joseph’s Pastor Steven Clarke and Rockford Diocese Superintendent of Schools Michael Kagan met with staff to tell them the decision Thursday, according to the release.

A special meeting was held Thursday night to share the news with parents and parishioners.

“The parish is currently providing almost two-thirds of the resources to cover the cost of operating a school that works to educate an ever-dwindling number of children,” Clarke said in a statement, adding that the difficult decision will make for a stronger future for the parish.

Families can transfer to St. Mary Catholic School in Woodstock, the release stated, and transportation will

St. Joseph teachers also will be given priority to any openings within the Diocesan Catholic School system.

St. Joseph parent Jen Garafol said she will probably send her 10-year-old son, Logan Garafol, to public schools because of how long it would take to transport him to St. Mary.

Although she said parents were aware of the financial situation of the school for years, she wishes they would’ve had more notice on the closure.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The springlike weather that will arrive next week will be the start of a three-month period that is warmer than normal, but Weather Network meteorologists caution that winter will take a few more parting shots before the month is over.

Meteorologist Doug Gillham said next week will feel more like April, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

But McHenry County residents shouldn’t expect those temperatures for the entire month.

“Once you get spoiled by warm temperatures you don’t want temperatures in the 20s or 30s, but it will happen,” Gillham said.

Still, Gillham said, warmer periods will outweigh the colder ones. That will be true for the area from March to June, when forecasters predict tem-

peratures will be above average.

The average temperature in March is 40, in April it’s 55, and in May it’s 67, Gillham said.

The Weather Network’s forecast calls for March through May to be drier than normal, which could continue through the summer.

“Our concern throughout the Great Lakes is when we get toward the growing season we expect a dry pattern to develop,” Gillham said.

Allegations

The earliest documented interview in the recent investigation took place Jan. 8, when Pagán and Internal Affairs Lt. James Popovitz met with an unidentified employee to discuss the allegations. The report shows the employee told Pagán and Popovitz the woman, a subordinate of McNamara’s, said she had been having a sexual relationship with McNamara.

The first sexual encounter reportedly took place Oct. 28 – about nine months into McNamara’s tenure with the department – after a gas-mask training.

The training team had stopped for drinks at Buffalo Wild Wings and went separate ways, the sheriff’s office employee said.

The employee told investigators the woman was dropped off and it was assumed she “went on her way to meet with D/C McNamara.” The woman told her partner the relationship had ended, according to the report.

But during the interview in January, the unnamed employee claimed not to believe the relationship with McNamara had ended because the woman had continued to text on her private cellphone and visited McNamara’s office nearly every day.

SWAT Christmas party

A couple weeks later, on Jan. 21, investigators conducted interviews regarding McNamara’s actions at a Christmas party held Dec. 11 at a Woodstock tavern. According to reports, the party was not sponsored by the department, but consisted of McHenry County deputies. McNamara

was the highest-ranking member in attendance, documents show.

Witness reports detail how McNamara approached at least one woman throughout the night.

Because names and most pronouns are redacted, it’s unclear who McNamara was approaching and what the person’s relationship is to the sheriff’s office. It’s also not clear whether the woman was the subordinate McNamara allegedly had a sexual relationship with.

An unidentified person who attended the party said McNamara repeatedly lifted up his shirt to expose his abdominal area while saying, “Look at this! Do you want some of this?” the report states.

The same person said McNamara lifted someone from the ground and spun them. Documents from a separate interview show this made the person uncomfortable because of McNamara’s position as deputy chief and the perception others at the party would have.

In another interview, McNamara is alleged to have “gently pulled (redacted) hair back and began to smell her noting that (redacted) smelled good.”

McNamara also was reported to have asked for a woman’s phone number and called her “almost every other day” after the party.

The interviewee went on to say McNamara “has more interest in developing a romantic relationship ,more than she does. DC McNamara talks a lot about himself and all the various things he has done in his life.”

Pagán informed McNamara on Feb. 2 he was being placed on leave for conduct unbecoming of a sheriff’s employee, harassment and discrimination in the workplace and violating the oath of office and code of conduct.

However, the investigation ended three days later with McNamara’s resignation.

their information to dispatchers when reporting a crime, Hallman said.

While sending out a flier with suggestions on how to handle a situation is dangerous, Hallman said there will be no investigation into who sent the flier because mailing a flier is legal.

If any illegal gunfire is heard, Hallman said to notify the Marengo police by calling 911 or 815-568-7231. Residents outside city limits can call the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office at 911 or 815338-2144.

WOODSTOCK – A two-vehicle crash Thursday at Route 14 and Hartland-South Hughes Road near Woodstock sent two people to the hospital and caused area road closures, officials said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office sent out a Nixle alert about 5:10 p.m. Thursday asking drivers to avoid the area because of the crash, which knocked down a utility pole.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said at 7 p.m. Thursday that ComEd was estimating roads would be closed for eight to 12 hours or more. Knop said the incident could affect the morning commute.

Route 14 was closed between Dimmel Road and Rose Farm Road, Knop said.

Southbound Hartland Road was closed between Nelson Road and Route 14, Knop said, and northbound South Hughes Road was closed between Kishwaukee Valley Road and Route 14.

Woodstock Fire Rescue District

Capt. Brendan Parker said the department was dispatched about 4:45 p.m. to Route 14 and Hartland Road for the crash.

Knop said 49-year-old Joann Bruning of Antioch was driving a 2004 black Lincoln Aviator SUV north on Hughes Road when she stopped at a stop sign at Route 14.

A 24-year-old man from Sharon, Wisconsin, was driving a 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck west on Route 14 when Bruning’s vehicle entered the intersection in front of him and the vehicles collided, Knop said.

Both vehicles then struck a utility pole, which broke in half and fell in the roadway, Knop said. She said the first pole also caused damage to a second pole.

Both drivers were taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, Parker said. He said there were no passengers in the vehicles.

Knop said Bruning was cited for failure to wear a seat belt and failure to yield for right of way at an intersection.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Avoid an emotional scene with a co-worker, client or superior. Offer positive input in order to impress someone who

can help you get ahead. Avoid gossip and the sharing of personal information.

STATE

STATE BRIEFS Serial stowaway sentenced to 6 months of house arrest

AP photo

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers while on the Senate floor during session Thursday at the state Capitol in Springfield. The Democrat-led Senate approved a measure that would allow an outside arbitrator to settle state-employee wages and working conditions in Illinois if union negotiations reach an impasse.

Dems OK $3.7B in funding

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Republicans blasted House Democrats for earmarking nearly $3.7 billion for colleges and various human service programs, saying the legislation they passed Thursday is a pre-primary sham because the state still has no budget.

Democrats unveiled their funding proposal late Wednesday evening and described it as a compromise, angering Republicans who said they were not even consulted.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said during a tense debate that his party is willing to work with Democrats to pass a state budget, which has been overdue since July 1.

“I am waiting for you and your side of the aisle to work with us to try to find a compromise, not shoving a bill down our throat,” Durkin said.

The Democrats’ funding proposal still needs to pass the Senate, perhaps as soon as next week, before it goes to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is expected to veto it.

During the state’s epic budget standoff, colleges have gone without funding, low-income students have lost tuition grants and social service agencies that help the elderly and homeless youth have closed or cut back the help they provide.

“Without a budget, the state has slammed the door shut in the faces of all of these needs,” said Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the Democrats’ House leader.

Illinois also is incurring more debt while the impasse continues because court-mandated spending is occurring but at revenue levels from last year, when the individual Illinois income tax rate was at 5 percent, not the current rate of 3.75 percent.

Rauner’s budget office sent a letter to House lawmakers Thursday before the vote saying the backlog of bills now is at $7.2 billion. The letter said there is no way to pay for the programs outlined in the Democrats’ spending bills without reducing spending in other areas.

The Democrats’ funding bills work in two parts. One measure forgives the repayment of $454 million of state funds taken last year from other special funds.

Another bill allocates nearly $3.7 billion

to a long list of social service programs – everything from homeless youth services to mental health programs and housing for low-income residents. It also budgets $397 million for tuition grants for low-income college students.

The proposals come a day after Democrats failed to override Rauner’s veto of a $721 million measure for colleges and tuition grants.

Democrats said Thursday’s measures give the state spending authority.

Republicans insist it’s a false promise ahead of the March 15 primaries.

“I think it’s pretty sad that we go through this exercise day in and day out knowing that this is just a political sideshow. It’s almost comical,” said Rep. Dwight Kay, a Republican from Edwardsville.

The parties continue to battle over issues that have now lasted almost a year. Rauner wants to overhaul term limits, change how legislative districts are drawn and curb union power before signing off on the tax increase many believe is necessary. Democrats contend Rauner needs to drop what they view as extreme demands.

CHICAGO – A judge has sentenced a woman with a history of sneaking aboard airplanes to six months of house arrest and placed her on two years of mental health probation.

At a hearing on Thursday Cook County Circuit Judge William Raines ordered that 64-year-old Marilyn Marilyn Hartman serve Hartman her house arrest at a mental health facility where she now lives.

And under the terms of her probation, she can’t go to any airports, train stations or bus stops.

Hartman has attempted several times to board planes without a ticket and was arrested twice last summer at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport.

Last month, she was arrested at an airport bus shelter center at O’Hare and charged with a felony probation violation and misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Chicago’s Navy Pier to open new Ferris wheel May 27

CHICAGO – Chicago’s Navy Pier will open its new, taller Ferris wheel on May 27.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said Wednesday the opening will kick off Navy Pier’s centennial celebration.

The new 196-foot Ferris wheel will stand 49 feet taller and fit up to 180 more passengers per ride than the previous attraction, which opened in 1995 and was removed in October.

The replacement also will have temperature-controlled gondolas, padded seats, TV screens and speakers.

It’s part of a $640 million project approved in 2013 aimed at drawing more tourists and trade shows to Chicago.

The city’s history with the Ferris wheel runs deep. The first one was built in 1893 in Chicago for the World’s Columbian Exposition.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (second from left) gestures as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich watch him Thursday during a Republican presidential primary debate at Fox Theatre in Detroit.

Republican debate night: Insults flying once more The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Relentless in their attacks, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz leveled withering criticism at Donald Trump’s “flexible” policy positions and personal ethics in a Republican presidential debate Thursday that also featured a crude sexual reference from Trump.

The two senators, who earlier had devoted considerable debate time to throwing sharp elbows at one another, pressed Trump aggressively on his conservative credentials, his business practices and changing policies.

But on a day when the Republican establishment was in chaos over the prospect of Trump landing the GOP nomination, Cruz, Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich all said they would support Trump if he won primary election battle.

And Trump, in turn, said he would support whoever wins – although he seemed to find it inconceivable that it might not be him.

Pressed on policy matters, Trump, in short order, signaled a willingness to deal on any number of issues. He said it was fine that Florida Sen. Rubio had negotiated with other lawmakers on immigration policy.

He said he had changed his own mind to support admitting more highly skilled workers from overseas, adding matter-of-factly, “I’m changing. I’m changing. We need highly skilled people in this country.”

And he also was matter of fact about providing campaign contributions to leading Demo-

crats, including 10 checks to Hillary Clinton, reviled by many conservatives.

Trump said it was simply business.

“I’ve supported Democrats and I’ve supported Republicans, and as a businessman I owed that to my company, to my family, to my workers, to everybody to get along,” he said.

The bad blood among the candidates flowed freely. Rubio justified his attacks on Trump by saying the billionaire businessman had “basically mocked everybody” over the past year.

Trump countered with a feint, saying he’d called Rubio a “lightweight” in the past but “he’s really not that much of a lightweight.”

Trump then noted that Rubio had mocked his hands as small, widely viewed as an insult about Trump’s sexual prowess. Holding his hands up to the audience, Trump declared, “I guarantee you, there’s no problem” in that area.

It was a jaw-dropping moment in a campaign that’s been full of surprises from the beginning.

On policy, when moderator Megyn Kelly told Trump his shifts caused some people to question his core, Trump insisted: “I have a very strong core. I have a very strong core. But I’ve never seen a successful person who wasn’t flexible, who didn’t have a certain degree of flexibility.”

Kasich sought to turn Trump’s statement on the value of “flexibility” into a character question. When meeting with voters, the Ohio governor said, “You know what they really want to know? If somebody tells them something, can they believe it?”

Romney, McCain weigh in on Trump Say America’s safety is at risk if he’s president

By STEVE PEOPLES and BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY – In an extraordinary display of Republican chaos, the party’s most recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain, lambasted current front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday, calling him unfit for office and a danger for the nation and the GOP. “His is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader,” Romney declared. He called Trump “a phony” who is “playing the American public for suckers,” a man whose “imagination must not be married to real power.”

The vicious feud marked a near-unprecedented scenario pitting the Republican Party’s most prominent leaders, past and present, against each other as Democrats begin to unite around Hillary Clinton.

The criticism set the tone for a primetime debate in which Trump lashed back, calling Romney “a failed candidate” who lost to Barack Obama four years ago because he was such a poor candidate. The loss, Trump charged, was “an embarrassment.”

And yet, in reply to the last question of Thursday night’s debate, each of the remaining candidates – Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich – said they would support Trump if he was the presidential nominee of their party.

Underlying the clash is a bleak reality for panicking Republican officials: Beyond harsh words, there is little they see to stop Trump’s march toward the presidential nomination.

Party leaders are poring over complicated delegate math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested national convention and even flirting with the idea

Romney confidant Ron Kaufman, a senior member of the Republican National Committee, openly embraced the possibility of a contested convention: “If that’s the only way to stop Trump, it makes sense,” he told The Associated Press.

In the most notable verbal attacks against Trump to date, Romney and his 2012 running mate, House Speaker Paul Ryan, urged voters in the strongest terms to shun the former reality television star for the good of country and party.

The GOP’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. McCain, joined in, raising “many concerns about Mr. Trump’s uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on national security issues.”

That echoes the worries of dozens of leading conservative defense and foreign policy officials.

As Kaufman suggested, Romney embraced what might seem a long-shot approach to deny Trump the delegates necessary to secure the nomination, though he did not call on Republicans to unify behind a single alternative.

“Given the current delegate selection process, this means that I would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John Kasich in Ohio and for Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state,” Romney said.

Romney advisers recently have sought information on a contested convention, although there appeared to be

no concrete planning for that possibility and it was unclear whether their efforts signaled Romney’s own interest in becoming the GOP nominee through a floor fight, according to a Republican familiar with the efforts. That person was not authorized to discuss the plans publicly and spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

Another idea rumbling through power corridors in Washington was the prospect of a late third-party candidate to represent more mainstream conservatives.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been approached by “a mixture of people” about being part of a third-party bid, said Jeff Miller, who managed Perry’s failed GOP presidential campaign.

But Miller said Perry found the idea “ludicrous.”

Suggesting that Romney might continue to have 2016 ambitions of his own, Trump said the 2012 nominee had “chickened out” earlier when he understood he’d be going up against the billionaire businessman.

“He doesn’t have what it takes to be president,” Trump said at a Portland, Maine, rally. “I made so much more money than Mitt.”

Romney’s views are irrelevant, he said. “Look, Mitt is a failed candidate.”

The back-and-forth came as the Republican candidates prepared for their first post-Super Tuesday debate, Thursday night in Detroit.

Four years ago, Romney and Trump stood side by side in Las Vegas, with Trump saying it was a “real honor and privilege” to endorse Romney’s White House bid. Romney at the time praised Trump’s ability to “understand how our economy works and to create jobs for the American people.”

On Thursday, Trump said Romney “was begging me” for an endorsement that year.

“I could have said, ‘Mitt, drop to your knees.’ He would have dropped to his knees,” Trump said.

A piece of aircraft debris with the words “NO STEP” is photographed Feb. 28 after it was found washed up on a beach in Mozambique.

After being interviewed, Gibson went to the Maputo airport to take a flight to Malaysia to participate in second anniversary commemorations of the disappearance.

“It’s important to keep it in perspective,” Gibson said of his find. “This is about the families of the 239 victims, who haven’t seen their relatives for two years now.”

Gibson, who is from Seattle, said the piece of debris is now in the hands of civil aviation authorities in Mozambique, and that he expects it to be transferred to their Australian counterparts.

On Friday, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau’s chief commissioner Martin Dolan, who is heading up the search for the plane off Australia’s west coast, said the part should arrive in the nation’s capital, Canberra, early next week. It is being taken to Australia rather than Malaysia because the ATSB has facilities set up for examining aircraft wreckage and trained technical staff on hand to help, he said. The part will be analyzed by multiple people, including ATSB materials failure experts, with Boeing representatives and the Malaysian investigation team giving advice.

Investigators hope that once the part arrives, they will be able to confirm whether the piece is from Flight 370 within a matter of days, Dolan said.

MAPUTO, Mozambique – An American adventurer said Thursday that he discovered part of an aircraft on a sandbar off the coast of Mozambique and initially thought it was from a small plane, and not from the Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared two years ago with 239 people aboard.

If confirmed that the piece of tail section came from Flight 370, a small piece of the puzzle will have been found, but it might not be enough to help solve one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Blaine Gibson described how a boat operator took him to a sandbar named Paluma and then called him over after seeing a piece of debris with “NO STEP” written on it.

“It was so light,” said Blaine Gibson, who has told reGibson porters that he has spent a long time searching for evidence of missing Flight 370.

Photos of the debris appear to show the fixed leading edge of the right-hand tail section of a Boeing 777, said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Flight 370 is the only known missing 777.

Gibson said the discovery happened after he decided to go “somewhere exposed to the ocean” on the last day of a trip to the Mozambican coastal town of Vilankulo.

“At first, all I found were usual beach detritus – flip flops, cigarette lighters.

Then ‘Junior’ called me over,” said Gibson, using the nickname of the boat operator. I think, ‘Wow, this looks like it’s from an airplane but it looks like it’s from a small airplane because it’s very light and very thin. But I suppose there’s a chance that it could be from the plane or from one of those others.’

“In any case, it needs to be preserved, brought to the authorities and investigated,” he said. “So yes, my heart was thumping, there was anticipation, there was excitement.”

But Gibson said he wants “to exercise caution. We don’t yet know what this piece is ... Until it’s been investigated by the experts, I warn not to jump to any conclusions.”

OUR VIEW

Spending bills aren’t answer People are crying out for an end to the state’s budget crisis, and yet leaders in Springfield still refuse to do what the state needs: come up with a budget.

Instead, they’re spending valuable time and energy on trying to appease people in need without addressing the big problem – the state of Illinois has no spending plan for this fiscal year.

The effort Wednesday to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a spending bill that would have spent $397 million on tuition assistance for low-income college students and $324 million for the state’s community colleges was another example of this flawed approach.

This push to spend $721 million without identifying where the money would come from is counterproductive.

In the more than eight months Rauner and the Democrat-controlled Legislature have allowed to pass without a budget, courts have intervened to compel the state to spend money at the same levels as last year, when the state income tax rate was higher.

As a result, Illinois has spent more money than it is taking in and its backlog of unpaid bills reached $6.6 billion at the end of 2015. Without a budget deal, the total could be $9 billion by the end of the fiscal year June 30.

In that climate, rather than come up with an abbreviated spending plan that lays out revenue and spending and sets the state on a track to start paying its debts, legislators want to spend money Illinois does not have.

This problem is in serious need of a solution.

The situation for some institutions of higher education, both four-year public universities and two-year community colleges, is becoming dire.

Unlike local elementary schools, higher education institutions have received no state aid this budget year.

Low-income students who were promised state Monetary Assistance Program grants have not received them, forcing some to leave school, and costing schools more revenue they had counted on.

Students are responding to this sorry state of affairs by going to colleges and universities in other states – if they can afford it. Illinois has been a top exporter of students to other states’ colleges and universities, and this “brain drain” hurts our state when those students choose not to return.

This problem can’t be solved in a piecemeal fashion. A spending bill means little without a budget to appropriate funds for that spending.

VIEWS

Where was Romney 9 months ago?

By JONATHAN CAPEHART The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – In only 20 minutes, Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, eviscerated Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2016 nod.

The brief against Trump wasn’t just the series of one-liners Romney leaked Thursday morning. The searing indictment against the billionaire businessman was based on substance. Pity the statesmanship and truth-telling come nine months too late to potentially stop Trump’s march to the GOP nomination.

Right out of the gate, Romney hit Trump on his economic plans.

“If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into a prolonged recession.

“A few examples: His proposed 35 percent tariff-like penalties would instigate a trade war that would raise prices for consumers, kill export jobs and lead entrepreneurs and businesses to flee America. His tax plan,

in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and to honestly address spending, would balloon the deficit and the national debt. So even as Donald Trump has offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know that he would be very bad for American workers and for American families.”

Romney railed against Trump on foreign policy (“Trump’s bombast is already alarming our allies and fueling the enmity of our enemies.”) and went on a lengthy tear about his temperament to be president (“Think of Donald Trump’s personal qualities, the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third-grade theatrics.”)

Romney made clear his low opinion of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. “A person so untrustworthy and dishonest as Hillary Clinton must not become president,” Romney said. “But a Trump nomination enables her victory.” He said if he were voting in the upcoming primaries in Ohio and Florida

or had voted in Texas, he would have cast ballots for Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz, respectively.

Romney’s words were tough and clear-eyed. I don’t agree with him on policy. His decision to make this speech four years after accepting Trump’s endorsement only feeds the cynicism corrupting the political process, but I so appreciated Romney’s unvarnished takedown of a man who has diminished the process of electing the leader of the free world. Whereas most folks in the Republican Party seem to cower in fear of Trump’s Twitter feed or withering personal invective, Romney rose statesman-like to take the rhetorical bullets he knows, we all know, will come his way from the Bully of Fifth Avenue.

Too bad the courage shown

by Romney today has not been on display at any point during Trump’s nine-month romp to the top of the GOP field.

Skillicorn the right choice

To the Editor: My choice for state representative to replace Mike Tryon is Allen Skillicorn.

He has lowered taxes in East Dundee and has been a great trustee. I have lived in West Dundee all my life and own a business in East Dundee. East Dundee’s leadership and West Dundee’s lack of leadership are evident every day.

East Dundee is on a roll; lower taxes, redevelopment and community events.

West Dundee keeps raising property taxes, sales tax, gas tax and utilities. People are leaving so fast from West Dundee, the biggest new store is U-Haul.

As trustee, Allen Skillicorn could be visiting the backside of the moon and still be responsive.

He is the only leader in this race and ready to stand up to the Chicago machine. This election is an easy choice, Allen Skillicorn for representative.

Gottemoller’s innovative concepts

To the Editor: Joe Gottemoller is a candidate for County Board chairman.

Many candidates are speaking of lowering taxes, as it strikes a core to the vulnerability of McHenry County residents. However, I am encouraged he offers the necessary alternatives.

I support Joe’s innovative concepts to engage economic development within

our county as a means to minimize the tax burdens. Joe understands how those of us approaching retirement feel, as we try to find ways we can remain in our homes with drastically reduced salaries.

Joe sees the strengths our county has to offer by its demographic and geographic positioning and suggests positive alternatives in tapping into those avenues.

Joe’s integrity does not waver. I fully endorse Joe Gottemoller for County Board chairman.

Send Schofield to Springfield

To the Editor: As a retired financial adviser and certified financial planner, I know the importance of what the investment community calls “due diligence.”

Carolyn Schofield embodies the very best of this concept, as evidenced during her time on the Crystal Lake planning commission and City Council, and now on the McHenry County Board.

Most recently, I was very impressed with her due diligence in researching the entire issue of township consolidation.

She wasn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the research necessary to come to a position based on facts, and with consideration of the consequences for taxpayers.

Additionally, as a trustee of the McHenry County Conservation District, I appreciate how Carolyn, our liaison from the County Board, keeps us fully informed about pertinent discussions and actions that affect our work.

We need to send Carolyn to Springfield.

Her due diligence and integrity is in too short of supply in the Legislature.

Wilcox a proven leader

To the Editor: I am writing to inform your readership as to why Col. Craig Wilcox would make an outstanding member of the McHenry County Board.

I know Craig from our days together in the military. He proudly served in the Air Force for 24 years, exemplifying our core values: “Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do.”

That’s a pretty refreshing starting point for a new political face.

I also played intramural softball with him. Craig was all about hard work and enthusiasm. He always had the dirtiest

Kenneally a real prosecutor

To the Editor: As a former first assistant state’s attorney in a neighboring county, I am familiar with the duties necessary for the position of state’s attorney.

I believe Patrick Kenneally is ideally qualified to be an outstanding McHenry County state’s attorney. Patrick is not only a man of genuine integrity, but he is a meticulously ethical attorney. As a committed career prosecutor, Patrick has been, and will continue to be, tough on crime. Although one can count on Patrick to strike hard blows against serious criminals, he never will strike foul blows.

Additionally, Patrick is a highly skilled trial attorney. As important, Patrick has the courage to try hard cases. This is critical to being a prosecutor. Real prosecutors make their lives hard to make crime victims’ lives easier. Real prosecutors stand fast in hard places. These qualities define Patrick and make him the right choice to be McHenry County’s state’s attorney.

Kay has been effective in finding unique ways to bring in revenue, allowing the chamber to keep its membership investment cost low for the small businesses that get their start through the chamber.

In addition, Kay has learned to exercise great control over the chamber expenses, finding ways to save the chamber money.

We need people with good business sense such as Kay on the McHenry County Board. Kay will be an asset on the McHenry County Board, and I encourage you to vote for her March 15 as McHenry County Board representative in District 4.

Vote for Schofield

To the Editor: For the past 3½ years, I have served with Carolyn Schofield on the McHenry County Board.

She is a highly intelligent individual who is able to fully dissect complex issues and make decisions that serve her constituents very well. What I respect most about Carolyn is her ability to stand up for what is right, even when others threaten to work against her if she doesn’t vote the way they want. This was the case with the township consolidation proposal that would have raised taxes for half the county. People put extreme pressure on her to vote “yes,” but instead she stood up for taxpayers.

Carolyn looked at all the data and made the correct decision.

We are incredibly fortunate to have a valuable public servant on the County Board, and I will miss Carolyn. Springfield will be gaining a smart, dedicated and thoughtful representative.

Vote for Carolyn Schofield.

To the Editor: I was one of the victims in the largest attorney theft case ever in this county; $1.5 million was stolen from several families.

In searching through the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission files, I noticed Dan Regna has been operating without malpractice insurance. Possibly he thinks he does not need it. Neither did the attorney who ripped all of us off.

Every resident of this state has a responsibility to have auto and health insurance. Since Regna does not think it was his responsibility to have this insurance to protect residents, I will cast my vote for Patrick Kenneally for state’s attorney.

Kenneally has the experience in the state’s attorney office. Mr. Regna, let us know why you knowingly operated without malpractice insurance.

The former Wal-Mart, 2019 N. Richmond Road, McHenry, is pictured. U-Haul eventually closed on the vacant property Feb. 26 and plans to redevelop it.

After confusion, U-Haul acquires former Wal-Mart in McHenry

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

McHENRY – U-Haul will redevelop a vacant, 115,366-square-foot former WalMart in McHenry despite strenuous real estate negotiations that nearly derailed the property closing and even caused a city official to publicly declare the project dead.

The ordeal over the redevelopment surfaced in early February when Doug Martin, economic development director for McHenry, published in a blog he manages to inform McHenry residents of business activity that U-Haul had backed out of the project a few weeks after City Council members approved its zoning request.

Martin wrote that the real estate broker representing Wal-Mart, which owns the building at 2019 N. Richmond Road, confirmed to him the deal between the retail chain and U-Haul had been “officially terminated.” But at the time, U-Haul representatives from its headquarters in Arizona wouldn’t confirm with the Northwest Herald the company had pulled away from the project.

The moving rental company eventual-

ly closed on the property Feb. 26, allowing it to proceed with its plan to create a full-service moving and storage facility at the former Wal-Mart.

A local spokeswoman with U-Haul acknowledged the property closing was temporarily held up, but she wouldn’t discuss the reasons why or whether the company ever considered the deal officially dead.

“U-Haul maintained a high interest in acquiring the property throughout the process,” said Heather Skelton, president for the U-Haul Company of Northwest Chicago Suburbs. “There were a few items to sort out in order to make the acquisition work for all of the parties involved, and fortunately we were able to make that happen.”

The broker representing Wal-Mart declined to comment.

Martin told the Northwest Herald he doesn’t regret publishing the initial blog post in early February, adding he typically relies on brokers who represent sellers to confirm property closings. He published another blog post earlier this week detailing U-Haul’s “180-degree” turn to purchase the property.

He explained that once a city council

votes on a project, a city’s formal involvement ends even if the buyer and seller haven’t agreed to close on a property. At that point, a city typically is no longer privy to the private negotiations between a buyer and seller.

In this case, he said he talked in early February with the broker representing Wal-Mart, who told him the contract with U-Haul had been terminated. He said he didn’t confirm the detail with U-Haul representatives.

“When the broker selling the property says the deal was dead, I go with the deal was dead,” Martin said. “We are not intimately involved in private negotiations.

But as far as I knew two weeks ago, it was not moving forward ... What I wrote in the first post was true. The Wal-Mart broker told me the deal was done. Why should I go to U-Haul to say that deal was done?”

Despite the handling of negotiations, Martin said he is “absolutely pleased” the two parties ultimately agreed to a property deal. The former Wal-Mart again will see commercial activity after sitting vacant for the past five years.

“At the end of the day, I don’t care how they worked it out,” Martin said. “I’m just glad they did work it out.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Plastics products maker AptarGroup will begin integrating airless dispensing products into its international business portfolio, after the Crystal Lake-based company recently finalized its $218 million acquisition of Germany-based Mega Airless.

The deal, announced in late January, allows AptarGroup to introduce the niche dispensing technology into Asia and Latin America, two markets demanding airless products where AptarGroup can expand its presence, company executives have said.

“As anticipated, the closing of the

Mega Airless acquisition went smoothly, and we will begin to integrate Mega Airless into Aptar’s global network,” AptarGroup President and CEO Stephen Hagge said. “This transaction will allow us to accelerate our growth in airless systems.”

AptarGroup announced the completion of the deal on Monday after it received the necessary regulatory approvals.

The company’s stock increased from $73.08 a share after the opening bell Monday to $73.71 a share at close.

AptarGroup had been using similar technology to make airless dispensing products in the beauty and consumer health care markets. The acquisition

moves the Crystal Lake-based company into different markets Mega Airless specializes in, from personal care to pharmaceuticals.

The latter market is Mega Airless’ fastest-growing one during the past three to five years, Hagge has said.

With two factories in Germany and the U.S., Mega Airless brings 30 years of manufacturing experience to AptarGroup and a history of profitability, according to the Crystal Lake company.

AptarGroup operates manufacturing plants in Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

The company supplies plastic dispensing products in markets such as beauty, beverages, food and health care.

Orders to U.S. factories best in 7 months

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Orders to U.S. factories increased in January by the most in seven months, while a key category that tracks business investment plans rose by the largest amount in 19 months.

Factory orders rose 1.6 percent in January after two months of declines, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. It was the biggest jump since June, although it was driven by demand in the volatile category of commercial aircraft. At the same time, orders in a core sector that reflects business investment rose 3.4 percent – the sharpest onemonth gain since June 2014.

U.S. manufacturers’ exports have been hurt this year by spreading economic weakness overseas and by a strong dollar, which has made their goods less competitive. And a sharp fall in oil prices has hurt investment.

Demand for durable goods – items ranging from autos and appliances to airplanes and battleships – increased 4.7 percent in January, slightly lower than the 4.9 percent the government had estimated in a preliminary report last week.

Orders for nondurable goods, including chemicals, paper and clothing, fell 1.4 percent in January after a 1.1 percent drop in December.

This category has posted a string of declines in part because of the big drop in energy prices.

The data is not adjusted for price changes.

Orders for commercial aircraft jumped 54.4 percent, with smaller gains

A fisheye lens, the distinctive winglet on the second Boeing 737 MAX airplane being built, is shown on the assembly line in Renton, Wash. for military aircraft, autos and auto parts.

And orders for machinery increased 4.6 percent. This category was led by a surge in demand for mining, oil and gas equipment, an area that has been weak because of the cutbacks that energy companies are making in response to falling energy prices.

While January posted a strong overall gain, analysts cautioned against reading too much into one month of data.

They noted many major overseas markets still are struggling with weak growth. And the dollar has risen even further in recent months.

Jesse Hurwitz, an economist at Barclays, said the orders report has led Bar-

clays to cut its projection for economic growth in the January-March quarter to a 2 percent annual rate, down from 2.4 percent.

Barclays did so because of indications that businesses won’t restock their supplies as quickly as had been assumed.

But Hurwitz said the orders increase for January still marked “a meaningful rebound” after December’s large decline.

The Institute for Supply Management said this week that U.S. factory activity remained at a recession level in February for a fifth straight month.

While the level of activity was up a bit from January, it stayed below 50, indicating that manufacturing was shrinking.

JUDGE GRANTS REQUEST TO UNSEAL AUTOPSY

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2016

ATLANTA – A judge in Atlanta has issued an order to unseal the autopsy report for Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Henry Newkirk on Thursday granted a motion filed by media organizations.

Media lawyers argued the September sealing order violated the state and federal constitutions and court rules because there was no public notification or opportunity for a hearing. The state argued the law exempts records sealed by court order.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said in a statement he believes the records should remain sealed but that he will follow the instructions of the court.

Dustin Hoffman attends the opening night of the Metrograph movie theater Wednesday in New York.

Dustin Hoffman on Oscars: ‘It’s always been racism’ NEW YORK – Dustin Hoffman feels there’s a systemic racial problem in America that goes beyond the Oscars.

The two-time Oscar winner did not attend Sunday night’s ceremony, nor did he watch the broadcast. But he was in the same place as this year’s recipient of an Honorary Academy Award who boycotted the show.

“I went to see the Knicks game and saw my friend Spike Lee there all dressed up for the Oscars, but he was at the Knick game,” Hoffman told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

Lee attended the game at Madison Square Garden in New York in a black tuxedo. Comedian Tracy Morgan, who was part of an Oscars’ skit, also was at the game. For the second consecutive year, there was a lack of diversity among Oscar nominees with only white actors getting the nod.

“Well, it’s always been that way. It’s not anything new, like Chris Rock, I heard said, ‘Why this year,’ ” responded Hoffman.

During his opening monologue at the Oscars, Rock questioned the controversy, saying: “It’s the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole black no nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times.”

Hoffman was blunt in his response as to the reason why it’s been that way for so long.

“It’s always been racism. It’s kind of a reflection of what the country is,” he said.

Hoffman made the comments while attending the opening of the Metrograph, the first independently owned movie theater to open in Manhattan in more than decade.

LOS ANGELES – In just a few weeks, you won’t have to travel to a galaxy – or a theater – far, far away to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

The blockbuster is set to be released on home video next month. It will be available to buy On Demand beginning April 1 and on Blu-ray and DVD on April 5.

Walt Disney Co. Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced the plans at the annual shareholders meeting Thursday in Chicago.

Special features on the home video release include behind-the-scenes looks at how director J.J. Abrams and his team created the film, BB-8 and other creatures, plus cast memories from the first table read.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opened in December and has brought in an estimated $2.05 billion to date.

Fey establishes Temple U. scholarship in honor of dad

PHILADELPHIA – Tina Fey and her brother have established a scholarship at Philadelphia’s Temple University in memory of their late father.

The actress announced the Donald H. Fey Memorial Scholarship on Wednesday night’s “The Tonight Show.” Her father studied journalism at Temple and graduated in 1966.

Upper Darby native Fey told “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon the scholarship

is targeted toward veterans who attend Temple’s media and communication school. Her father served in the Korean War and died in October.

Temple School of Media and Communication Dean David Boardman told The Philadelphia Inquirer the fund has received some sizable gifts, including from Fallon.

Fey was on Fallon’s show promoting “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” a comic drama about war reporting starring Fey as a rookie correspondent finding her way.

Negative thoughts toward aging can affect your health, cognition

www.ocelectric.net

We all grow old, but our mood can affect our quality of life in our senior years, according to a recent study. Research from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging at Trinity College in Dublin revealed that older adults with negative thoughts toward aging have slower walking speed and decreased cognitive abilities, compared to older adults with an optimistic viewpoint.

“The way we think about, talk about, and write about aging may have direct effects on health. If negative attitudes towards aging are carried throughout life they can have a detrimental, measurable effect on mental, physical, and cognitive health,” says lead researcher Dr. Deirdre Robertson.

Researchers asked 4,135 men and women to complete a questionnaire called the Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire, and to undergo a cognitive test, along with being rated for levels of physical frailty.

The study found that negative

thoughts of aging seemed to affect senior’s health conditions. Frail older adults with negative thoughts had worse cognition compared to the people who were not frail. Although, frail people with positive thoughts of aging had the same level of cognitive ability as the non-frail people.

“This is the latest of many studies published over the years that shows it is the expectation, not biology that leads many elderly people to set physical limitation on themselves,” says Dr. Chandragupta Vedak, a psychiatrist at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill.

Jenner, 20, opened Balmain’s show in a dramatic pale blue layered cape silhouette. But the flurry of photographers’ flashes directed at the bold fall-winter outfit likely was intensified by the former brunette’s transformation into an icy blond.

It was a tongue-in-cheek move on the part of Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing. Adding to the hairstyle drama, Hadid, who’s also 20, strutted out straight after Jenner, and in the place of her enviable blond locks she sported dark hair with a chic center parting.

Dealing with death on screen

Kids’ films more likely to tackle difficult subject, but parents can help them cope

By SANDY COHEN

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – In the Pixar release “The Good Dinosaur,” released on DVD last week, little Arlo’s dad dramatically is washed away by a raging river.

And Arlo isn’t the only animated hero to lose a family member in the film’s first act.

The protagonist in 2014’s “Big Hero 6” loses his brother in an explosion. Then, there’s Nemo, whose mom is eaten by a barracuda in the opening minutes of “Finding Nemo.”

In “Frozen,” Anna and Elsa’s parents are lost at sea. And, who can forget the heartbreak of “Bambi,” when a shotgun blast kills the little deer’s mother.

There’s a lot of death in animated movies for kids. In fact, research has found main characters in these films are more than twice as likely to suffer traumatic death than in dramas aimed at adults.

What’s a parent to do?

It’s not that cartoons are trying to scare young viewers. Death of a parent often is used as a dramatic device to focus on the young protagonist, said University of Ottawa professor Ian Colman, who conducted a study on the subject published in the Brit-

ish Medical Journal.

“Who deals with kids’ problems?

Parents do,” Colman said. “If you want to make it a really compelling story, you’ve got to get the parents out of the picture so kids can go through this process themselves. One way to do that is to kill them off.”

But when parents or older siblings die onscreen, younger viewers fare best when real grown-ups are there to talk about it.

Children generally don’t understand the permanence and inevitability of death until they reach elementary-school age, said youth bereavement expert Dr. David Schonfeld, and popular movies often do little to depict realistic ways of dealing with grief.

“We just model the distress,” said Schonfeld, director of USC’s National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement. “We leave the character in that distress, and then the resolution is: Grow up and have your own cub.

That really isn’t how we grieve.

“Unfortunately, there are not a lot of animated films that show how we can help kids deal with loss. It becomes more of a vehicle to draw them in,” he continued. “We could do a better job with trying to match children’s understanding with what’s in the film.”

Colman was inspired to launch his research after watching “The Land Before Time” with his 4-year-old daughter.

“The mother of the main character gets really brutally attacked and killed by a T-Rex in the first five minutes of the film,” he said. “My daughter was hysterical and begging me to stop the film.”

Coleman and his research team compared the top-grossing animated films from 1937’s “Snow White” to 2013’s “Frozen” with top live-action dramas from the same years and found that murder or death of important characters happened sooner and more often in the animated movies.

“It’s a good opportunity to talk about death and have a difficult conversation,” Colman said. “Sometimes we do need to be prodded a bit to have hard conversations.”

Children as young as 2 can begin to understand the finality of death, Schonfeld said.

“Kids in this age group are trying to learn concepts of death. They’re drawn to it because it’s important,” he said. “I wouldn’t want children’s stories and movies to eliminate themes of death, because then they have very little opportunity to talk about it.”

The filmmakers behind “The Good

Dinosaur” declined to be interviewed for this story. But the creative director of Pixar’s “Cars” franchise said his team was forced to confront death onscreen when Paul Newman, who voiced series character Doc Hudson, died.

“We’ve never talked about how a car dies or is born,” Jay Ward said.

“The beauty of Pixar is that we tell different stories different ways, and sometimes loss is an important part of the story. ... For kids, that may be hard for them to grasp. It’s a human emotion. It’s a real thing. It does happen to everybody at some point.”

Susanna Fogel, writer and producer of the young-adult series “Chasing Life,” said artists should be bold when it comes to depicting the range of emotions around death and dying.

“People avoid it because they worry about what it means politically or is this too depressing,” she said.

“But there’s something about not getting a straight answer and having euphemisms in place of honesty that is more terrifying.

“There’s no avoiding these issues in life,” she added, “and the earlier we can address them in a thoughtful, sensitive way in entertainment, the earlier people can have the conversations they need to have with their support system.”

The Associated Press

Mark Stanislav

Senior security consultant at Rapid7 and one of the author of a report on the security of Internet-connected baby monitors “There’s a certain leap of faith you’re taking with your child when you use one of these,” said Mark Stanislav, a senior security consultant at Rapid7 and one of the report’s authors.

The Rapid7 researchers found serious security problems and design flaws in all of the cameras they tested.

Some had hidden, unchangeable passwords, often listed in their manuals or online, that could be used to gain access. In addition, some of the devices didn’t encrypt their data streams, or some of their web or mobile features, Stanislav said.

Higher camera prices didn’t translate to higher levels of security.

In fact, the pricier models usually came with more features, which left unsecured could give hackers more ways to potentially access a camera or

its video stream, Stanislav said.

To protect themselves, consumers should keep an eye out for any camera or mobile application updates. In addition, if parents still want to use a camera that’s known to be susceptible to hackers, they should use it sparingly and unplug it when it’s not in use, Stanislav said.

The problems with the cameras highlight the security risks associated with what’s become known as the “Internet of things.” Homes increasingly are becoming connected, with everything from TVs to slow cookers now featuring Wi-Fi connections. But many consumer devices often don’t undergo rigorous security testing and could be easy targets for hackers.

And if a hacker has access to one connected device, he or she could potentially access everything tethered to that home’s Wi-Fi network, whether it’s a home computer storing personal financial information or a company’s computer system that’s being accessed by an employee working from home.

In the Rapid7 study, researchers rated the devices’ security on a 250-point scale. The scores then received a grade of between “A’’ and “F.” Of those tested, eight received an “F,” while one received a “D.” All of

the camera manufactures were notified of the problems, and some have taken steps to fix the problems.

“When one gets an ‘F’ and one gets a ‘D minus,’ there isn’t an appreciable difference,” Stanislav said. “And unlike a laptop where you can install firewalls and antimalware, you can’t do that here.”

For example, researchers noted that the Phillips In.Sight B120 baby monitor, which retails for about $78, had a direct, unencrypted connection to the Internet. That could allow a hacker to watch its video stream online, as well as remotely access the camera itself and change its settings, the report said.

Phillips NV released a statement noting the model in question had been discontinued. It added that its brand of video baby monitors is now licensed to Gibson Innovations, which is aware of the problems and is working on a software update designed to fix it.

The researchers also tested the iBaby and iBaby M3S, Summer Infant’s Summer Baby Zoom WiFi Monitor & Internet Viewing System, Lens Peeka-View, Gynoii, TRENDnet WiFi Baby Cam TV-IP743SIC, WiFiBaby WFB2015 and Withings WBP01.

NEW YORK – Several of the most popular Internet-connected baby monitors lack basic security features, making them vulnerable to even the most basic hacking attempts, according to a report from a cybersecurity firm.

The possibility of an unknown person watching their baby’s every move is a frightening thought for many parents who have come to rely on the devices to keep an eye on their little ones. In addition, a hacked camera could provide access to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices in a person’s home, such as a personal computer or security system.

The research by Boston-based Rapid7 Inc. looked at nine baby monitors made by eight different companies.

They ranged in price from $55 to $260.

The cameras often are mounted over a baby’s crib or another place where they spend a large amount of time. They work by filming the child, then sending that video stream to a personal website or an app on a smartphone or tablet. Some of the cameras also feature noise or motion detectors and alert parents when the baby makes a sound or moves.

“There’s a certain leap of faith you’re taking with your child when you use one of these.”

Aging feet require special care Dear Dr. K: As I’ve entered my 60s, I’ve noticed my toenails are thicker and the skin on my feet is drier. Should I change my foot care routine?

Dear Reader: Just like the rest of your body, your feet change with age. By age 50, you may have lost almost half of the fatty padding on the soles of your feet. To compensate, you may want to add overthe-counter cushioning inserts to your shoes for additional padding.

As your feet age, it also may be time to consider different forms of exercise.

Swimming and bicycling, for example, put less pressure on the joints of the foot than jogging or tennis.

It’s also a good idea to stretch your feet and ankles regularly to help reduce the incidence of injury. I’ve put examples, descriptions and illustrations of some stretches and exercises on my website, www.askdoctork.com.

Toenail and foot skin health are important, too. Skin grows thinner and drier with age, and nails may become thicker or more brittle. If your nails are thick and yellow, it may indicate a health problem. To keep your feet healthy, exercise or massage them to increase circulation. Pay attention to nutrition, too.

Maintaining good overall health helps your feet stay healthy along with the rest of you.

Another good idea is to moisturize your feet regularly so you don’t develop cracks and fissures in the skin. Not only are openings in the skin painful, they also make you more susceptible to viruses and bacteria that enter through breaks in the skin and cause infection.

Pay special attention to the heels, as these can get very dry. However, do not

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff apply lotion or cream between your toes.

This area tends to be moist, and you may end up encouraging some type of fungal or bacterial growth.

As your nails become thicker with aging, they may be harder to cut. When I recommend treatments, they do not always involve pharmaceuticals. When a home remedy may work, I mention it as well. Here’s one that may help: Apply a bit of Vicks VapoRub ointment (normally used for easing chest congestion) to your thick nails, massaging it on gently. Wipe off any excess ointment before pulling on socks or going to bed. After a month or so of daily applications, you should find your toenails softer and easier to trim.

It’s not clear why this works, but one of the ingredients in Vicks VapoRub (probably the eucalyptus oil) apparently softens the nails.

The questions readers send in sometimes ask about diseases, particularly major afflictions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. But there is one category of suffering readers ask about more than disease: decrepitude.

And lots of people have questions about their aching feet. I’m particularly sympathetic as I’m writing this column, as I’m suffering an attack of gout, and my right foot hurts.

and mannerly, but they appear to be socially immature. The time to have encouraged them to develop their individual personalities was when they entered their teens.

While it is normal for twins to share a special closeness, the fact they don’t socialize, don’t date and consider their contemporaries all to be morons is something to be worried about.

If you are going to contribute to their college educations, it might be helpful to insist they go to different schools. But before you do, consult a licensed counselor for guidance because it may be traumatic for them.

matters may not seem appropriate to you, that’s what some children in grammar school do. The problem, however, is a lot of misinformation can be transmitted among them. Be glad your daughter trusts you enough that she’s willing to tell you what is being said.

If this were my daughter and I had not yet had “the talk” with her, I would waste no time in initiating it. Her classmates might say some of the things they do for shock value and have no concept about the violence and physical and emotional damage a rapist can inflict.

Not only should you bring this to the attention of the parents of these classmates, also talk to the school principal. The best way to combat screwed-up thinking like this is through frank, open discussion and education.

Dear Abby: I have 18-year-old twin sons who are seniors in high school and more mature than most at their age. My husband and I raised them with responsibility and manners, and people comment on how well they behave.

My problem is neither one seems interested in socializing. They don’t date and never have friends over. They tell me people their age are “morons.”

The boys are very close. They still share a room, and want to attend college together and major in the same field. I’m worried they are too close and need to separate from each other and get out more. Should I be worried about this or wait and see what college brings them? –

Somerset Maugham claimed “You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.”

That must be true, but at the bridge table, when there is no one to guide you, do not be blind to the information available from the calls made and cards played.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart six: eight, five (starting a high-low to show an even number), nine. How should declarer continue?

After South opens one no-trump, North should respond two hearts, a transfer bid indicating at least zero points and five spades. Then, North might rebid three no-trump, but that could work out very badly if South has weak hearts. So, North rebids three diamonds, which is natural and game-forcing.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart (trick one), four diamonds and one club. He can get the extra winners from either black suit -- but on which should he play?

Let’s look at the first trick. East was playing third hand high, but didn’t beat dummy’s eight. Why not? Because he couldn’t. West has the heart ace-queen hovering over South’s king-jack. If East gets on lead, a heart return will kill the contract.

So, the spade finesse should not be taken. Instead, declarer should lead a low diamond to dummy’s nine and play a club to his 10 (allowing for East’s having the jack and king).

When the finesse wins, South returns to dummy with a diamond, takes a second club finesse, and here wins 11 tricks.

Several college coaches, including Ole Miss’ Hugh Freeze, Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio, Arkansas’ Bret Bielema and Tennessee’s Butch Jones were told they could not attend Michigan’s open practice at IMG Academy on Friday because IMG is a high school campus and it is a recruiting dead period. Michigan is allowed to practice at the high school, which it is doing all week, because it is paying for use of the facility.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A SOUTH ELGIN REGIONAL

Youngsters do their part Sophs Phillips, Balkcom help Jacobs stay alive

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Seeing an eight-point lead turn into a one-point halftime deficit Wednesday made for a lively Jacobs locker room at halftime.

Jacobs did not want to be sent home after its postseason opener for a second straight year. Golden Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts leaned on sophomore guards Ryan Phillips and Nikolas Balkcom particularly hard, challenging them to raise their levels of play.

Phillips responded with two 3-pointers in the first 3:06 of the third quarter.

Balkcom added five points in that quarter as the Eagles took control against and defeated Larkin, 59-45, in the Class 4A South Elgin Regional.

“At halftime, we got a little fired up,” Roberts said. “Ryan and Nik are really, really good basketball players. When they’re tentative, they’re not really good. For them to step up and do the things they did as sophomore kids, first time in that environment, I’m proud of them.”

Phillips finished with 19 points, and all five of his 3s came in the second half, while Balkcom added 10.

No. 4-seeded Jacobs (22-6) faces No. 1 DeKalb (25-4) at 7 p.m. Friday for the regional championship. The Eagles are trying to win their second regional title in three years, with a team returning one of its top six players from last season, 6-foot-9 junior center Cameron Krutwig.

Phillips (9.8 points a game) and Balkcom (7.0) have experienced the predictable highs and rough spots for first-year varsity players but have been integral parts. Phillips, a starter all season, leads the team with 47 3s. Balkcom became the Eagles’ starting point guard in February.

“Coach puts us in and it gives me confidence,” said Balkcom, who is 6-2.

“It loosens me up and helps me relax.

When Ryan and I were scoring [like Wednesday] it gives me a lot of confidence for later on in that game and for the next game.”

Phillips, who is 6-3, hit 7 of 8 field goal attempts against Larkin, with a couple of driving layups to go with his 3s.

“It’s an honor, truly an honor (to play varsity),” Phillips said. “When I

Jacobs likely will need its young

guards to come up big again Friday against the Barbs, who won the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference East Division.

“We had to get in the fight. It seemed like it took forever to get to Wednesday and play,” Roberts said. “Now we’re in the fight. Every game we survive it gets more and more fun, that’s the way we look at it.”

The Eagles now want to add a regional title to go with their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship.

“This has been our goal and our mindset all year,” Phillips said. “This is our opportunity.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A NORTH CHICAGO REGIONAL

Johnsburg just fine with underdog role

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com The Johnsburg boys basketball team still thinks back to Feb. 12, when a last-second loss became its source of strength.

A sub-.500 Skyhawks team was a clear underdog against Burlington Central, the eventual Big Northern Conference East Division champion, on the Rockets’ home court. The disparity in the two teams’ records didn’t show on the court, however. The Skyhawks tied the score in the final minute, only to see Ethan Mayfield hit a buzzer-beater to give the Rockets a 58-56 win.

What could have been a heartbreaking loss turned into a confidence-builder.

If Johnsburg (14-16) could come within a basket of Burlington Central, the No. 1 seed in the Woodstock North Sectional, what could the Skyhawks do against the top team in the Ridgewood Sectional?

“We were playing against the best team in our conference,” Bryce Smith said. “We realized if we can hang with the best team in our conference, we can beat any team in our conference and we can make a deep run in the playoffs.”

On Friday, Johnsburg will play North Chicago for the Class 3A North Chicago Regional championship at 7 p.m. Seeded seventh and still carrying a sub-.500 record, the Skyhawks are again an underdog against the top-seeded Warhawks.

And that’s the way they like it.

“We’ve got nothing to lose and ev-

“What’s not to like?”

The game against Burlington Central is just one of many tight games the Skyhawks have played this season. Coach Mike Toussaint was looking back at the schedule this week and counted 18 games decided by five points or fewer.

“We’ve been in big games against some pretty good teams that have been close,” Shelton said. “Burlington.

Marengo. G-K. We’ve been right there with them. We’ve taken a couple great wins and a couple tough losses. We’ve learned a lot from that.”

Toussaint, who coached the Skyhawks’ girls basketball team to seven straight regional titles followed by a boys regional title in 2012, echoed Shelton.

“If we can keep it close, I like our chances,” Toussaint said. “We’ve played in so many close games this year. … I like our chances. I’d go to war with my guys any day. I tell them that all the time. There’s no better guys I’d rather go to battle with.”

to by the trainer, Bell quickly ripped off his warm-up and jersey and handed it to Whiting.

“I thought it was neat,” Toussaint said.

“Connor just did it. It’s a neat thing as a coach to see everyone accepting their roles.”

Warriors were tough: McHenry’s 14-16 record did not look all that impressive, but Warriors coach Tim Paddock was proud of the way his team fought through adversity all season.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: AP ALL-STATE TEAMS

Huntley’s Andrews unanimous choice

Senior also makes 3-point state final

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com Huntley’s Ali Andrews, McHenry County’s all-time leading scorer with 2,548 points, was one of five players named to The Associated Press Class 4A All-State first-team Thursday.

Hampshire’s Emma Benoit was named honorable mention in Class 3A. Andrews, a 6-foot-2 forward and Illinois commit, was the only player to be voted unanimously, receiving 90 points in the AP’s voting system from sports writers and broadcasters around the state. Chicago Whitney Young’s Kiara Lewis received 89 points, followed by Batavia’s Hannah Frazier (71), Benet’s Kathleen Doyle (63) and New Trier’s Jeannie Boehm (57).

It’s the second year in a row Andrews has made the Class 4A all-state first team. Last year, she finished runner-up in voting points to Haley Gorecki, a 2015 Fremd graduate who now plays at Duke. Andrews also appeared on the Illinois Ms. Basketball ballots that went out this week.

“I definitely was surprised, especially that I was on everybody’s ballot,” Andrews said. “It’s a big accomplishment to me, especially to be there with all the other top players in the state. They’re all really good, and just to be on that level with them is an honor and an accomplishment.”

Also Thursday, Andrews advanced in the Class 4A 3-point Showdown at Redbird Arena in Normal, making 11 of her 15 attempts (tied with Ottawa’s Sarah Lyons for the lead). She moves on to the Class 4A finals Friday with The Queen of the Hill final, matching the Class 4A champion against the Class 3A champion, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

Crystal Lake Central freshman Madison Haslow made nine shots and tied with three other competitors, who then shot for the last two spots in the finals. Haslow made 5 of 10 and finished one spot from the finals.

“It was great being down here at state even though we didn’t make it as a team,” Andrews said. “Being able to be here with all of the great shooters and the whole atmosphere, it’s just a lot of fun. I’m guessing over 10 (3s) is usually what [the number to advance] is, but whoever has a great day will

Andrews set Huntley’s single-season scoring record with 743 points this season, breaking her then-record 694 points as a junior, averaging 21.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks and 2.3 steals a game.

She also has more than 1,000 rebounds and 300 blocks in her four-year varsity career at Huntley.

The Red Raiders were eliminated from postseason play Monday against Fremd, 48-36, in a Class 4A Fremd Supersectional for the second straight season.

Andrews has led the Red Raiders to a 111-21 record since 2012-13, setting the record for single-season wins in all four seasons, going 30-4 this year.

Huntley won its third consecutive Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title, fourth straight regional and third sectional in four seasons.

She credits her individual success and year-to-year improvement on constantly working to improve her allround game.

“Just working really hard on and off the court, and just working a lot of my skills and developing my weaknesses,” Andrews said. “Never thinking you can’t get better because you can always get better.”

BRUINS 4, BLACKHAWKS 2

Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling skates away from the net after giving up a goal to Bruins center Ryan Spooner during the second period Thursday in Boston.

Bruins.

“He wasn’t very good tonight,” coach Joel Quenneville said of Darling.

“We expect more than that.”

Darling was making only his second start in almost six weeks (he had three relief appearances in that span).

first goal with the Hawks – off a nice bit of passing from Hjalmarsson and Teuvo Teravainen – gave the team life late in the second period, they couldn’t get any closer.

The loss follows big wins over Washington and Detroit. It’s the kind of inconsistent play they’ve been lamenting all season – all or nothing, good or bad.

And the Hawks no longer have their schedule as an excuse for the occasional off night. The brutal pace they faced in January and early February has slowed to a crawl, so that even a backto-back set of road games such as the one this week shouldn’t be too much of a burden.

Quenneville pointed out they’re in the midst of a 10-game stretch against playoff teams. But if they want to win the division and secure home-ice advantage, they’ll need to be more consistent, no matter who’s in net.

“We have a really good schedule the rest of the season, so we can’t really blame it on being tired or anything like that,” Hjalmarsson said. “There’s teams that have much worse schedules than we have for the rest of the season, so we definitely have to try to take advantage.”

BOSTON – Funny thing about being a backup goaltender. You work as hard as you can to be as ready as possible for the rare times you get the call. But ideally, you won’t see a minute of ice time in the postseason.

Of course, Scott Darling proved how important a backup goalie can be last season, when he righted the Blackhawks’ ship during the first-round series against Nashville. And in this final month of the season, Darling likely will get two or three starts as the Hawks try to fend off Dallas and St. Louis for the Central Division title. So no matter what, he’ll play a key role.

“I do most of my work in practice with Darling, because he plays less than [Corey Crawford],” Hawks goaltending coach Jimmy Waite said. “I make sure I keep him sharp, because when he steps in there he needs to be sharp, and we need those two big points.”

Well, Darling wasn’t sharp Thursday night. And as a result, the Hawks’ building momentum was slowed by an underwhelming 4-2 loss to the Boston

“He’s had some real good games for us,” Quenneville said. “It’s one game.

I can’t remember the last one he had where he was [bad]. So he’s been all right.”

Darling gave up two tough goals in the first period, and three on the first 14 shots he faced as the Hawks dug themselves a hole they couldn’t get out of. The Hawks remained in first place, because Dallas and St. Louis were off.

But every chance to put some distance between them and the rest of the division is a big one.

“It was just one of those games that we got behind early,” Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. “Nowadays it seems like it’s tough to get back in games when you’re down. We’ve got to find a way to get a better effort.”

Darling gave up a goal to Patrice Bergeron 78 seconds into the first period and to Brad Marchand with 22 seconds left. Quenneville wasn’t happy with either. In between, Jonathan Toews scored with assists from newcomers Christian Ehrhoff and Andrew Ladd.

Ryan Spooner and Loui Eriksson added second-period tallies to make it 4-1, and although Tomas Fleischmann’s

6 BULLS ANALYSIS

Butler has chance to back up words

jcowley@suntimes.com There’s very little that Jimmy Butler hasn’t done for this Bulls team the past two seasons.

Now it’s time to see if the All-Star has it in him to play savior.

That’s a role that is still absent from his résumé.

And although good friend/actor Mark Wahlberg would have no problem casting Butler for that part, well, let’s just say it might not be as easy a sell job for some of Butler’s teammates.

His season has been an interesting one.

The fifth-year player has gone from the building block of the future with a five-year, free-agent deal he inked last summer, to a player who promoted himself into leader in what resembled a hostile takeover. And even with some rolling of the eyes by several veterans, as well as members of the Derrick Rose camp less than thrilled with Butler’s ascension, the reality of the situation is the Bulls need Butler more than ever over the final 22 games.

Like it or not.

Since Butler’s left knee went from sore to strained Feb. 5, the Bulls have gone 3-8 with Butler in street clothes, not only falling to a .500 record on the season, but slipping out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.

Basically, unfamiliar territory.

“This is the first time I’ve gone through this,” Rose said Wednesday night after the loss to Orlando.

If Butler truly is the star player he believes he is, then he’ll make sure Rose and Co. won’t be going through this much longer.

His 22.4 points a game obviously will be a welcome addition, but it’s Butler’s defense that is a must at this point. Opposing teams basically have been running layup lines on the Bulls’ defense.

Butler is not only one of the premiere defenders on the roster, but in the league. Time for that to be tested.

“Teams come in and see us struggling, they know we’re struggling, and they see opportunity,” Pau Gasol said of the current state of the Bulls. “They’re smelling blood and they’re going for it.

It doesn’t make things any easier, but at the same time we’ve got to step it up.’’

Someone has to.

Although there was resistance to Butler’s voice as a leader at the start of

Injured Bulls guard Jimmy Butler (left) sits on the bench during the closing minutes of a 113-90 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 10 at the United Center. Butler might return to action as soon as Saturday. the season, in his absence the only vocal push directed at this locker room has come from the coaching staff. According to Gasol, no player-only meetings, no tirades from anyone over the past month.

Just a quiet group that seems way too comfortable with its fate as a lottery team.

“I think the coaching staff is trying to send those messages as we try and acknowledge them and understand them,” Gasol said, “but at the same time, you’ve got to bring it on the floor and make it happen.”

No one is better equipped for that than Butler.

According to coach Fred Hoiberg, the plan was to have Butler in the team’s full practice Friday, see how he feels after, and possibly play him against Houston on Saturday night at the United Center.

Bigger picture?

If Butler’s return can truly save this sinking ship, then all the tough talk from the guard this season will have been backed up by action. The takeover will be complete.

If it’s business as usual for this lifeless team and it falls short of the playoffs with Butler? There should be a long line of players looking in the mirror, and Butler leading it.

Leadership comes with a price, and one way or the other Butler is about to find out that cost.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NORTHWESTERN 71, PENN ST. 61

Guard scores 19 of his 23 in first half of road win

By TRAVIS JOHNSON The Associated Press

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

Maryland thumps Illinois; Loyola knocks out Bradley The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Melo Trimble and Jake Layman scored 18 points each, and No. 14 Maryland closed out its home schedule with its best game in weeks, an 81-55 rout of Illinois on Thursday night.

Jared Nickens and Robert Carter Jr. had 14 points apiece for the Terrapins, who never trailed. Maryland (246, 12-5 Big Ten) had lost three of four since climbing to No. 2 in the AP poll in early February.

Trimble made half of his 14 shots, collected eight rebounds and added five assists. The standout sophomore guard was 11 for 37 from the field over the previous four games.

Maverick Morgan reached career highs with 21 points and 10 rebounds for Illinois (13-17, 5-12). The junior center made 10 of his 13 field goal tries, but his teammates were a collective 12 for 44, including 5 for 20 from 3-point range.

Malcolm Hill, who came in averaging 18.2 points a game for the Illini, finished with 10 after making one basket before halftime.

The Terrapins finished 16-1 at home, the lone defeat against Wisconsin on Feb. 13.

Illinois missed its first seven shots and trailed 7-0 and 15-7 before whittling the deficit to 19-16. Maryland answered with a 12-3 run that included two baskets by Carter and 3-pointers by Nickens and Rasheed Sulaimon.

Loyola 74, Bradley 66: At St. Louis, Montel James had 20 points and a career-high 17 rebounds as Loyola pulled away midway through the second half to beat Bradley in the opening round of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

Donte Ingram had 19 points and Devon Turk chipped in 11 for No. 8 Loyola (15-16), which faces top-seeded Wichita State on Friday.

Ronnie Suggs led Bradley (5-27) with 15 points.

making 17 of 27 shots, with Demps scoring 19 points in the first half.

Demps made his second field goal 6:41 into the game to give his team the lead for good.

Penn State went 0 for 5 over the final five minutes and McIntosh hit a jumper at the buzzer to give Northwestern a 42-27 halftime lead.

“I just felt like they played harder than us in the first half,” Chambers said. “In the second half, we responded. It was too big of a lead to overcome.”

Both teams struggled through early second-half shooting woes despite finishing with nine 3-pointers apiece. They combined to go 2 of 10 from the field over the first five minutes.

As Collins scratched his head along Northwestern’s bench, Penn State fans began to howl when Garner air-balled a shot 3:20 into the half. The Nittany Lions still hadn’t scored almost five minutes in, and a handful of open looks for Demps, who was especially cold, came up short.

Penn State’s Brandon Taylor tries to fight through Northwestern defenders, including Bryant McIntosh, on Thursday in State College, Pa. Northwestern won, 71-61.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – As Chris Collins and Patrick Chambers watched their players during Thursday’s shootaround, both coaches knew they soon would be playing for a measure of respect each hoped his team would have earned by this point of the season.

It would have to come at the other’s expense, as Northwestern and Penn State, hopeful this would be the year each could turn a corner in a rugged Big Ten Conference, entered the season’s penultimate game on familiar, hohum trajectories.

“We’re at similar junctures,” said Collins, whose Wildcats

outlasted the Nittany Lions, 7161. “We’re in a heck of a league, battling to try to fight for our own program’s respect and notoriety in the league. Anytime we play against Penn State, I know it’s going to be an absolute war and you’re going to have to play incredibly hard to beat them. I thought we did that tonight.”

Tre Demps scored 23 points to lead Northwestern’s effort, and fellow guard Bryant McIntosh added 17 to help the Wildcats (1911, 7-10 Big Ten) to their second straight win and third in their past five.

Brandon Taylor scored 17 points for the Nittany Lions, who lost their second straight. Shep Garner added 13 points and Josh Reaves chipped in 11 for Penn State (15-15, 6-11), which is still one win shy of its best conference mark under Chambers.

Northwestern, ready for a stingy zone defense that slowed the Wildcats in a 71-62 loss in mid-January, started hot. The Wildcats shot 63 percent from the field,

Veteran Wood thrilled to be back Versatile pitcher longest-tenured member of Cubs

Brewers’ split squad defeats Cubs

PHOENIX – Chase Anderson pitched two scoreless innings in his Milwaukee spring training debut and helped a Brewers’ split squad to a 2-1 win over the Cubs on Thursday.

Anderson struck out Kris Bryant in the first inning and allowed a single to Miguel Montero in the second.

Montero added a single in the fourth, accounting for two of the Cubs’ seven hits.

Bryant had a single in two at-bats and Anthony Rizzo was 0 for 2 with a strikeout.

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MARYVALE, Ariz. – Travis Wood has seen it all when it comes to the Cubs’ organizational overhaul under team president Theo Epstein.

He was acquired in Epstein’s second trade with the Cubs – a week before the Anthony Rizzo trade – before the 2012 season. And he’s now the longest tenured player in the Cubs’ clubhouse, having made his Cubs debut more than a month before Rizzo that year.

“It’s definitely been something to see over the years, especially when you look back and see how many players we ran through in those first couple of years,” said Wood, who started the Cubs’ spring training opener Thursday, a 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. “And now to have a pretty solid team is nice.”

Wood’s career has undergone almost as many changes in that span, bringing him to what might be the biggest crossroads year of his career – playing a significant role for a World Series favorite in his final season before free agency.

“I think he’s going to get better,” said manager Joe Maddon, who moved Wood from the rotation to the bullpen last May and wound up with one of his most valuable relievers during the Cubs’ first playoff season in seven years. “Because he has a better understanding of what’s going on. He’s a better pitcher. He knows himself better.”

Not that anybody knows where Wood will be this time next year or in

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

– The Associated Press

AP photo

The Cubs’ Travis Wood throws during the first inning of a spring training game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday in Phoenix. The Cubs lost, 2-1. what role.

And not that even Wood was certain he’d be back this season.

The left-hander who made the AllStar team during a 200-inning season as a starter in 2013 was paid in the arbitration process as a starter heading into last season ($5.7 million). With as much as the Cubs planned to address this past offseason, and with the budget initially falling short of some of the plans, Wood, as a reliever, figured to be a potential trade or non-tender candidate.

“It could have went either way,” said Wood, whose value was rewarded with a commitment for 2016 and a $6.2 million deal. “Just the fact that I’m here on this team, I’m giving it everything I can.”

Wood, 29, might have more value for this team than most in the role he probably will carry from last year into

this one. He’s one of four ex-starting pitchers likely to be in a seven- or eightman pen, including two former All-Star starters (also Trevor Cahill).

“It’s an unusual group in the positive way possible, with the variety of multiple-inning guys that are also capable of closing games if you wanted them to and could also start games if you wanted them to,” Maddon said.

Perhaps none has proved more versatile than Wood, who earned a save in his first appearance out of the bullpen, made two spot starts in September and wound up with a 2.95 ERA and 11 strikeouts per nine innings in 45 relief appearances overall.

“If that’s my role going in, I’ll try to do as best I can,” said Wood, who gave up a run Thursday in a clean two innings after a leadoff triple in the first.

“I’ll try to take it whenever they need

me and come out and give them everything I’ve got.”

But it’s also no secret he wants the chance to start more games this year.

“I hope so,” he said, adding that his preparation for the season is based on that mindset. “But then again we’ll see where it takes us.”

In that 2013 season, he had a 3.11 ERA and 24 quality starts. In the National League, only Clayton Kershaw, Adam Wainwright and Cole Hamels had more that year.

Does he still consider himself a starter as he looks long-term at his career?

“In my mind, yes,” he said, before repeating what appears to be his mantra this year. “But, really, wherever they put me, I’m going to take the ball and give you everything I’ve got.”

All Maddon knows is, “I’m very excited to have him back.

“I’m certain there’s a part of him that wants to be a starter even if he’s not going to concede it or say it loudly,” the manager added. “But he also understands what a great job he did last year in the longevity (he provided) in the game. He knows how much I appreciate what he does and how he does it.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

ried him on the 60-day disabled list for most of 2015. He was non-tendered and signed to a $1.5 million contract.

“This is a spot I can come in and show what I can do and kind of go from there,’’ said Turner, feeling healthy again after strained flexor tendon and shoulder issues.

“All anyone in this locker room is looking for is an opportunity. You have to take advantage of it.’’

Turner owns an 11-25 record with a 4.97 ERA over 299 major-league seasons in Detroit (2011-12), Miami (2013-14) and with the Cubs (2014).

He was in the mix for a rotation spot with the Cubs last spring, pitched two scoreless innings in the their Cactus League opener against the Giants and then got hurt. After two rehab assign-

ments, Turner had elbow surgery, a humbling experience for the 2009 No. 9 overall pick who received a $4.7 million signing bonus from the Detroit Tigers.

“Yeah, it is,” Turner said. “Watching the game on TV watching guys all season you want to be competing with was hard. It was definitely challenging mentally, especially coming on the field in Arizona every day when your buddies and teammates are in Chicago. It was tough.”

Turner said the Cubs treated him well, showing patience when he got hurt and providing good care through the rehab process.

And now he has a chance on the other side of town.

“I’m just happy to be healthy and pitching again,” he said.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Rough start for Danks in Cactus League opener

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – As fifth starters go, the White Sox could do a lot worse than the serviceable John Danks.

As highest paid players go, they could do better, and therein lies the source of frustration for fans, many of whom rolled their eyes upon hearing Danks got hit around for three runs in the first two innings of the Sox’s Cactus League opener Thursday.

“I’d be lying to you if I said it hasn’t been frustrating the last couple of years,” Danks said after throwing 45 pitches in a 6-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. “That’s a given. But I’m not the first guy to have to make some adjustments. I feel like I can do better than

I have the last couple years and have shown flashes in the second half in general last year. If I can roll that into this year, make the adjustments we’re hoping to make, I think my struggles will be something of the past.”

Danks might vary pitch selection in certain counts and situations to become less John Danks predictable. His ERA in the 4.70s in each of his past three seasons was one full run higher than the ERA numbers he posted from 2008-10, numbers that helped him earn a fiveyear, $65 million contract that runs out at the end of the season.

There seems to be little reason to be

alarmed over a two-inning outing on March 3. If anything, it seemed to suggest the likelihood of Danks being who he’s been since surgery remains strong.

‘The best way to describe it is testing the water, getting back out there, getting comfortable on the mound and see what you need to work on,” Danks said after his outing.

“I feel fine. Definitely not as nearly sharp as I’d like to be, but I don’t think anybody is at this point. I feel like I’m on pace for where I need to be.”

Danks gave up RBI singles to Yasiel Puig and Yasmani Grandal in the first inning and a homer to Alex Guerrero in the second. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out one.

“He made some mistakes and paid for them,” manager Robin Ventura said.

This and that: High-energy newcomer Brett Lawrie, who drew 28 walks last season, showed patience and walked twice Thursday.

“Personality-wise it doesn’t fit, but I think that’s something he has to improve on in his game, and I think he will,” Ventura said. “If you look at him and meet him, it doesn’t go hand in hand, so it’s nice to see.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Spring is about new life, turning a page, regeneration.

This one couldn’t come soon enough for former Cub Jacob Turner, a former first-round draft pick who is eager to rejuvenate his career after missing the entire 2015 season because of an elbow injury.

“I’m just excited to be competing again, honestly,” said Turner, who is slated to get the start in the White Sox’s second Cactus League game against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. “Last year was disappointing. When you can’t pitch a whole year you realize how much you miss the game. I just miss competing. I’m looking forward to get-

ting out there and showing what I can do.’’

Before the Sox traded for Mat Latos, it was believed Turner would compete this spring with Erik Johnson for a spot in the rotation. Because of his track record, Latos seems to have the edge toward landing a place with Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon and John Danks, Jacob Turner but he also has health issues in his recent past to navigate.

Turner, meanwhile, is out of minor league options and would have to make the 25-man roster to avoid being exposed to waivers. The Sox claimed Turner off waivers last fall from the Cubs, who car-

Chastain pledges brain for research

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

Brandi Chastain, whose penalty kick gave the United States the 1999 Women’s World Cup title, has pledged her brain for concussion research.

The 47-year-old Chastain announced her donation to the Massachusetts-based Concussion Legacy Foundation on Thursday. Upon her death, her brain will go to the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank, a joint project with the Department Brandi of Veterans Affairs Chastain and Boston University School of Medicine.

“It is really about: How I can help impact soccer beyond scoring a goal in 1999 in the World Cup final. Can I do something more to leave soccer in a better place than it was when I began this wonderful journey with this game?” she said.

Researchers are studying the postmortem human brain and spinal cord tissue in hopes of diagnosing and treating chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative condition caused by a blow or blows to the head.

The research team last month announced it had found signs of CTE in the brain of former Oakland Raiders quarterback and NFL MVP Ken Stabler. But of the 307 brains in the bank, only seven are from women and none has been found to have CTE. “We currently know so little about how gender influences outcome after trauma,” said Dr. Ann McKee, director of the brain bank program. “Her pledge marks an important step to expand our knowledge in this critical area.”

Chastain isn’t sure she has had concussions but suspects she has had at least a couple. In her playing days, there wasn’t the knowledge about concussions there is today.

Brandi Chastain celebrates her game-winning shootout goal for the U.S. team against China during the 1999 Women’s World Cup final at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

“You just shook it off back then,” she said.

Chastain played for the U.S. national team from 1988 to 2004. She was on the team that won the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1991, as well as its second in 1999. The iconic image from that second title came moments after Chastain’s left-footed penalty kick against China when she ripped off her jersey in celebration at the Rose Bowl.

Today, Chastain is a youth coach and mom living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She believes awareness is growing, and has partnered with the Concussion Legacy Foundation’s Safer Soccer Initiative, which calls on youth coaches to eliminate headers in practice and in games for those under 14.

“It’s been a journey about education for me,” she said. “I’ve been involved in sports for a long time, only up until recently, have people been talking about concussions, and then concussions specifically related to soccer. It’s been mostly a football problem or a football issue. But it’s not.”

U.S. defeats England on Dunn’s goal in 72nd minute TAMPA, Fla. – Second-half substitution Crystal Dunn scored in the 72nd minute, Hope Solo got her 96th career shutout, and the United States women’s soccer team beat England, 1-0, in the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday night.

Dunn entered in the 67th minute and made

it 1-0 with a shot into the upper corner of the net five minutes later.

“A lot of people were like, ‘Did you mean to put it there?’ ” Dunn said. “And of course, initially you say yes. But no. In my head, I was like I saw the goal, aimed for it, and it just happened to go in.”

Texans release franchise rushing leader Foster

Arian Foster’s time with the Houston Texans has ended after seven seasons.

The four-time Pro Bowler, who was scheduled to make $6.5 million next season, was released Thursday after a season when he missed 12 games with groin and Achilles tendon injuries.

Houston also released tight end Garrett Graham and safety Rahim Moore.

Piercy, Fraser lead; Mickelson 1 back after first round at Doral

DORAL, Fla. – Phil Mickelson’s scores from Doral over the past two years clearly suggested that the redesigned Blue Monster wasn’t completely to his liking.

He had to re-learn a course that he played for more than 20 years, and indicated Thursday that he finally has the new Doral figured out.

Mickelson shot a 5-under-par 67 on Thursday in the opening round of the Cadillac Championship, the first World Golf Championships event of the year. Seeking his first win since the British Open in 2013, Mickelson made seven birdies and finished the day one shot back of leaders Scott Piercy and Marcus Fraser.
