Grasping the gravity of Einstein’s space Physics and I are strange bedfellows. We have politely consented to dislike each other intensely and to avoid contact as much as possible. But recently our paths inescapably crossed as I jumped feet first into the depths of theoretical space, time and gravity. So, let us go where no physics-impaired newspaper columnist has dared to go before. To begin with, let’s focus on gravity. As schoolchildren, we all learned about Isaac Newton’s discovery of the invisible force that pulls fruit, and by extension us and everything else, to the ground. One could imagine the headline of the London Times of 1665 that declared: “The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree: Newton Discovers Gravity.” Yep, a mysterious, unseen pulling force that keeps everything in the universe together. A great discovery that, up until the early 1900s, was universally accepted as ultimate truth. That is, until smarty-pants Albert Einstein came along. Einstein accepted Newton’s conclusions about the forces of the universe, but he had a problem with Newton’s concept of gravity. Something just wasn’t right. Newton provided valuable laws about the strength of gravity with great accuracy, but he had no idea of how gravity actually works. For almost 250 years, it appears that scientists were content to ignore that mystery. That is, until Einstein decided to enter the ring and duke it out with the Father Of Gravity. According to Newton, gravity could travel instantaneously throughout the universe. On the other hand, Einstein said that nothing could travel faster than light and that it held the cosmic speed record. It was this battle between gravity and light that led Einstein to reformulate the universe. Einstein said the universe has four dimensions: length, height, width and time. There was a fifth dimension for a while, but it went up, up and away. He believed that this spacetime model acted like the fabric of a trampoline, warping and curving and stretching because of heavy objects, such as stars and black holes. It is this movement of space-time that caused gravity. OK, that’s got you a bit confused. Just think of tossing a pebble in a pond. It affects the

surface of the water by causing ripples that travel away from the splash point. Cosmically speaking, any disturbance in the universe will cause gravitational “waves” that travel at the speed of light. It’s these gravitational waves that cause gravity. Einstein called this “general relativity.” The earth is going around the sun because the sun has warped the space around the earth and space is pushing the earth toward the sun. Thus, gravity doesn’t pull, it actually pushes. So, as you are sitting down reading this, gravity is not pulling you down into your chair, it is pushing you down. Get it? Well, maybe this will clear things up.

POST Facebook.com/NWHerald Hope that helped. But even with his impressive equations, Einstein still had a big problem: He had no physical evidence to prove his theory of the existence of gravitational waves. So the legacy he left scientists back in 1916 was a kind of cosmic homework assignment: Find a way to directly observe gravitational waves. And guess what? Last month they finally found ’em! So evidently Einstein really knew what he was talking about. It just took us 100 years to believe him and truly appreciate the gravity of his genius. Or the genius of his gravity. Relatively speaking, that is.

A CLOSER LOOK

In wake of audit, non-law enforcement agencies returning military surplus equipment “There were items that were obtained by the [former] sheriff and distributed to agencies that violated the LESO agreement.”

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Several local governments that got vehicles under the previous McHenry County Sheriff’s administration through a controversial military surplus program for law enforcement had to give them back. The reason is simple, according to the new sheriff: They never should have gotten them in the first place. The department under former Sheriff Keith Nygren amassed a significant amount of equipment under the federal Law Enforcement Support Office – one 2014 report compiled by his office identified a worth of at least $2.47 million. It ranged from cold weather caps valued at $5.34 each to a $733,000, 40-ton Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected armored vehicle for the sheriff’s SWAT team. Surplus obtained under the previous sheriff was spread around to other agencies, as well. The Huntley and Woodstock fire departments obtained Humvees from the sheriff’s office under the program, as did the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency. The Algonquin Township Highway Department and the McHenry County Division of Transportation both obtained semi-trailers. Three diesel motorcycles were passed off to the McHenry County Conservation District. But the rules of the LESO program are simple, Sheriff Bill Prim said – surplus can only go to law enforcement agencies engaged in “bona fide” law enforcement work. Prim ordered a review of the department’s participation in LESO upon taking office in December 2014. “There were items that were obtained by the [former] sheriff and distributed to agencies that violated the LESO agreement,” Prim said. The sheriff’s office is one of thousands of law enforcement agencies that participate in LESO to get weapons and gear at little to no cost. But while lauded by law enforcement, the program has come under increased scrutiny in recent years. Critics blame the program and others like it for contributing to what they allege is the ongoing “militarization” of police officers – equipping and dressing officers as soldiers, they argue, is making them act like soldiers rather than protectors of the community.

ABOVE: The view from the driver’s seat of the McCullom Lake Police Department Humvee. The Humvee and several golf carts were received from a controversial military surplus program. BELOW: The McCullom Lake Police Department received several Global Electric Motorcars from a controversial military surplus program.

Abuse of the program also is an issue, most recently with the revelation that disgraced Fox Lake Police Lt. Joe Gliniewicz had for years been illegally obtaining piles of military surplus for the police youth program he mentored. He killed himself and staged it to like a homicide in September, just as the new village administrator had been demanding a full accounting of all the items he had obtained under the program.

Prim’s next steps were simple. He immediately contacted the Department of Defense and reported that non-LESO agencies had obtained surplus under the former sheriff. Then he contacted the local agencies in question and told them they had to give it back. Under LESO rules, the sheriff’s office can keep the returned equipment for itself, transfer it to another LESO agency, or give it back to the Department of Defense.

Huntley fire’s Humvee and an ATV it received now serve the small police department of McCullom Lake. Humvees given to Woodstock fire and the Emergency Management Agency will stay with the sheriff’s office, as will an ATV forklift given to Algonquin Township. The semitrailers given to the county and Algonquin Township highway departments are back with the sheriff’s office, and their disposition has yet to be determined, Prim said. The motorcycles given to the conservation district were transferred to the Crystal Lake Park District Police – while the conservation district has a police force, it is not LESO accredited. Likewise, a handful of weapon sights and lights given to the Woodstock Police Department were returned because the department does not participate in LESO. The state LESO office followed up with an audit, and the sheriff’s office got a clean final review Feb. 8 and can fully participate in the surplus program. But Prim said he has not ordered anything through it since taking office. Prim said it gave him “cause for concern” that he and the county were put in this position in the first place by the distribution of vehicles to non-LESO agencies. “I think it was irresponsible, and it placed the county in a position of unnecessary exposure,” Prim said. The Fox Lake Police Department likewise got cleared after an audit from state and federal LESO representatives, state spokeswoman Meredith Krantz said. The police department retained its LESO accreditation in the wake of its changes in leadership and more stringent oversight – Gliniewicz had been the sole point of contact, hence his ability to illegally amass equipment.

Gene Schubert relaxes Friday at his home in Huntley. Schubert was recently saved by his LifeVest after going into sudden cardiac arrest.

Huntley man saved after sudden cardiac arrest by defibrillator vest By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Gene Schubert said he had never been familiar with the LifeVest before his cardiologist recommended it to him late last year. The 86-year-old Huntley man’s pacemaker had just been removed because of an infection, and because of his continued risk for sudden cardiac arrest, Dr. Hemal Nayak with University of Chicago Medicine recommended he wear the external defibrillator device. “It was kind of a pain in the neck to wear,” Schubert said. “But it worked. It did the job.” About a month after he began wearing the vest full time, Schubert’s heart rate was jolted back to normal by the device after he suffered sudden cardiac arrest Jan. 18. Schubert said he has no memory of the late morning incident, which occurred in the hallway of his Huntley home. “All of a sudden I just found myself

“All of a sudden I just found myself [on] the floor in a pool of blood. I had gone to the washroom ... and my wife and I were here alone. I called her and she called 911 right away.” Gene Schubert

on how his LifeVest helped save his life [on] the floor in a pool of blood,” Schubert said. “I had gone to the washroom, evidently, and my wife and I were here alone. I called her and she called 911 right away.” In the time he can’t remember, the LifeVest strapped around Schubert’s torso delivered a shock when its sensors detected the irregular heart rhythm. Medical experts say a patient’s survival chances from sudden cardiac arrest

drops 10 percent with each passing minute. The timely jolt from the vest saved his life as first responders made their way to Schubert’s house, Dr. Nayak said. “Despite the fantastic work the rescue squads do, the odds of surviving a cardiac arrest is anywhere from 10 to 15 percent,” Nayak said. “You have to hope that somebody with him knows how to do CPR or that [the] rescue squad gets to him in time.” Nayak said the LifeVest, which is made by Zoll Medical Corporation, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2001, and he’s been recommending it a lot more recently because he’s more familiar with the technology and more confident that it works. The average patient doesn’t meet the criteria, he said, but he recommends it two to three times a month to cardiology patients. Schubert, a father of five, grandfather of 10, and great-grandfather of two, already has had a new internal device implanted, and is recovering from the injuries he sustained in the fall.

Franks seeks special prosecutor Legislator looking into County Board pension fund allegations By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com State Rep. Jack Franks officially asked McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi for a special prosecutor to investigate whether County Board members are working the 1,000 hours a year required to qualify for Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund pensions. The letter, dated March 1 and delivered Friday, questions whether the board members now enrolled in IMRF have come close to the number of hours necessary, as they attested in signed affidavits at IMRF’s request. Agency officials said earlier this week that they were questioning the board’s numbers, after a tip from a local labor union that members may not be working the required minimum. “We believe that there is enough evidence to show that there is potential criminal activity or at the very least civil liability for many of the County Board members,” wrote Franks, D-Marengo. The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office cannot investigate the matter itself because it also serves as the le-

gal counsel for the County Board, which would constitute a conflict of interest. Under state law, McHenry County government employees must work at least 1,000 hours a year – or about 20 hours a week for 50 weeks – to qualify for IMRF benefits. The County Board in 1997 set a higher standard for its employees – the law otherwise sets a 600hour annual minimum. 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.” All but four of the 24 board members are signed up for IMRF. Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, and Jeff Thorsen, R-Crystal Lake, declined the pension. The other two, Robert Nowak, R-Lake in the Hills, and Don Kopsell, R-Crystal Lake, already receive IMRF pensions through their previous local government jobs. Franks, who represents the 63rd House District, said he added up the number of hours board members were attending meetings and came up far short of the minimum. However, board members under IMRF rules are allowed to count hours spent on preparing for meetings, meeting with constituents and employees, and attendance at civic functions in an official capacity. The International Union of Operat-

Centegra adds flu-season restrictions By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Centegra Health System has implemented a policy that will bar anyone younger than age 14 or feeling sick from visiting patients at its two hospitals as flu season continues to hit McHenry County. The policy, which went into effect Feb. 26, is in response to the rising number of children being admitted to the hospital with the flu, according to a statement from Dr. Irfan Hafiz, the senior vice president, chief medical officer and chief medical information officer for Centegra. “We are seeing younger people admitted to the hospital with moderate to severe respiratory issues related to influenza,” Hafiz said in a news release. “We have had many severe cases of influenza-related illness and the majority of patients are younger than a year old.”

Visitors who are feeling sick or have a runny nose, sore throat or fever, as well as anyone younger than 14 are not allowed to visit patients at Centegra Hospital – McHenry or Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, officials said. Only two people will be able to visit a patient at any time, and they must be immediate family members older than 14. Anyone who is coughing or sneezing will be asked to wear a cold mask. Officials are encouraging visitors to cover their noses and mouths when they cough or sneeze, throw tissues in the trash after they are used, wash their hands often, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and avoid touching their eyes, noses or mouths to prevent

germs from spreading. The percentage of people who tested positive for the flu after visiting an emergency room with flu-like symptoms was at a season high, based on data from the McHenry County Department of Health. The agency reported about 30 percent of people who reported flu symptoms tested positive the week of Feb. 20. During the 2014-15 flu season, health officials reported positive tests peaked at more than 30 percent in early December, but saw another jump close to that level in late March. Centegra officials encourage anyone 6 months or older to get a flu vaccine. Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last week that the vaccine has reduced the risk of having to go to the doctor for the flu by 60 percent. Centegra offers the flu vaccine in several locations. For information, call 815-334-4500.

LOCAL BRIEFS

NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – The national nonprofit Operation Homefront is looking for people who are serving in the military or veterans to apply for a mortgage-free home in McHenry. Operation Homefront provides emergency and financial assistance to the families of service members and wounded warriors, according to a news release from the organization.

WOODSTOCK – Two people were taken to the hospital after a head-on collision Friday near Woodstock and Bull Valley, police and fire officials said. A 33-year-old Carpentersville man was driving a 2002 Ford F350 box truck on Country Club Road when Margarita Palma-Olvera, 53, of Woodstock, drove her southbound 1997 Ford Expedition across the center line, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said. Woodstock Fire/Rescue District crews were dispatched about 7:20 a.m. to the intersection of Country Club and Mason Hill roads for the crash. Knop said both drivers, the only people in the vehicles, were taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock. Both suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Capt. Scott Nieman said. Palma-Olvera was cited for improper lane usage and not having insurance, Knop said. Drugs, alcohol and weather were not factors in the crash, Knop said. She added both drivers were wearing seat belts. The crash partially blocked Country Club Road between Mason Hill and Fleming roads for about 45 minutes.

• EQUIPMENT

Continued from page A3 The federal Defense Logistics Agency that administers LESO identified an undisclosed number of items from Gliniewicz’s stash that must be returned, Krantz said. Actions at the federal, state and local levels have made a dent in trying to increase accountability, or at the very least restrict access by law enforcement to certain battlefield equipment. President Barack Obama last year signed an executive order forbidding federal agencies from giving police departments tracked armored vehicles; weaponized vehicles; and aircraft, bayonets, grenade launchers and several other tactical items. A bill codifying that order into state law, and requiring law enforcement to give public notice of everything it requests under LESO, is under review by the Illinois State Senate. Two states – Montana and New Jersey – have slapped on more stringent restrictions.

Lance’s thoughtfulness attracted lifelong friends early in his career at Oak Industries. When they closed, he embraced his love for arts and crafts in retail management at Michael’s. He simultaneously initiated a property maintenance position at Virginia Street Condos, where he loved being outdoors as he landscaped, and making friends as he repaired neighbors’ homes. Lance inspired us with his courage, encouraged us with his faith, blessed us with his generosity, and gifted us with his hand-crafted artwork. He had a God-given talent in many art mediums, and we will cherish his crafts, and the love he put into them, forever. His experience of God in faith, hope, love, joy, and peace drove his selflessness and we will carry his serenity to accept difficult circumstances without questioning God with us in our spirits. “A man who walks with God always gets to his destination” was hung in a prominent place in his home. His love will live on in our hearts and memories forever. Memorial visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m., with service at 7 p.m., Monday, March 7, 2016, at Davenport Family Funeral Home, 419 E.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Joey Feek, who with her husband, Rory, formed the award-winning country duo Joey + Rory, died Friday, her manager said. Feek, who had been diagnosed with cancer two years ago, died at home in Indiana, Aaron Carnahan said. The brunette singer from Alexandria, Indiana, found success when she paired up with her songwriter husband on the Country Music Television singing competition “Can You Duet?” in 2008.

Last fall, Rory Feek wrote on his blog that they had decided to end treatment. Even after the diagnosis, the couple continued to record, and an album of hymns topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in March. Since her diagnosis, the music community re-

Adam Kern, Owner Ofﬁcial Heating & Cooling

What can cause a noisy furnace?

If your furnace is in the basement, then any minor noises may go unnoticed. But if the furnace is in the living area then every noise will be heard. Typically, furnace noise issues fall into two categories; duct related or mechanical.

Mechanical noises from the furnace are easy to spot because they are very distinct and loud. They are almost always caused by the inducer motor or the blower motor. The inducer vents the flue gases into the chimney. Eventually the heat from the flue gases dries out the bearings and the motor makes a loud whining noise. The only fix for this problem is to replace the motor.

FREE THROW CHAMPS – St. Mary of Huntley Knights of Columbus Council No. 11666 hosted its annual free throw competition Jan. 9 at Centegra HealthBridge Fitness Center. Winners included (clockwise from top left) Allie Ambrogio, 11-year-old girls champion; Tyler DeBlieck, 12-year-old boys champion; Adam Guazzo, 11-year-old boys champion; and Jake Terlecki, 9-year-old boys champion.

The most common noise issue with blower motors is when the blower wheel makes contact with the blower housing. This creates a loud screeching noise. It is usually an easy ﬁx by simply centering the wheel on the drive shaft and tightening the set screw. Most of these problems can be caught and corrected with regular maintenance.

The vast majority of noise issues are duct related. Unfortunately, most duct systems are not sized properly and therefore can cause whistling noises or banging noises when the furnace starts or stops. Most homes don’t have enough cold air returns which results in a high static pressure. The problem can usually be resolved by adding more returns.

Probe finds no secret wait lists 1 at VA hospital By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – An internal watchdog for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs found patients faced delays accessing care at a suburban Chicago veterans’ hospital, but its report uncovered no evidence supporting a whistleblower’s claim of a scheme to hide the long wait times. The VA’s Office of Inspector General is releasing reports on its investigations at dozens of veterans’ facilities across the country over the next few months after pressure from members of Congress to improve transparency. Some of the other reports detail falsified records covering up the long waits. Intentional misconduct was substantiated in 51 of 77 completed investigations. The report on the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital, just west of Chicago, was released Thursday, although it was completed in January 2015. It uncovered no evidence to support the whistleblower’s claims that secret patient wait lists were used to hide long waits for treatment so supervisors would get bonuses. It did find that appointment schedulers, responding to direction from supervisors, made changes in a computer system that reduced the appearance of patient wait times. But it did not determine that data was manipulated intentionally to make the numbers look better. Investigators’ interviews with employees revealed uncertainty about how appointment data was supposed to be logged in “antiquated confusing scheduling software.” As a result, some of the data changes appeared meant to fix genuine clerical errors, the report said. Some employees told investigators that separate spreadsheets with appointment data had to be kept because the official software was so limiting, but they were not secret lists, as alleged. In a statement Friday, Hines said it has worked to correct scheduling

“Our most important mission is to provide the high quality health care and beneﬁts veterans have earned and deserve.” Jane Moen

Assistant to the director at Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital problems through training and regular audits. “Our most important mission is to provide the high quality health care and benefits veterans have earned and deserve,” said Jane Moen, an assistant to the Hines director. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk has been especially critical of the Hines hospital and the VA in general. He rejected the report’s findings, citing a review by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel that called the investigation inadequate. Kirk, who is chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees funding for the VA, first brought attention to Hines during a scandal over veterans’ health care that emerged nearly two years ago after complaints that as many as 40 patients died while awaiting care at a VA hospital in Phoenix. “At the hearing I held last year, whistleblowers from Hines, Phoenix and Louisiana said nothing had changed – the culture of corruption still thrives at their hospitals and veterans wait months and years for appointments, often dying as they wait,” Kirk said in a statement Friday. Kirk also sent a letter to Deputy Inspector General Linda Halliday expressing concern at how the investigation was handled and demanding the release of all investigation documents and supporting material. The investigation at Hines included interviews with staff and a review of 245,000 emails. None of the emails pointed to an intentional falsification of wait time data.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state Online sales set to expire for Illinois Lottery tickets

SPRINGFIELD – The state could miss out on funding if lawmakers don’t take action on a test program that allows Illinois Lottery tickets to be sold online before it expires March 25. The state likely will lose out on money for education and construction projects unless the measure to make online lottery sales permanent moves in the House, the Chicago Tribune reported. Lawmakers aren’t scheduled to return to the Capitol until April 4. Since Illinois became the first state to sell lottery tickets online in 2012, online ticket sales have brought in $68 million for education and construction projects, lottery spokesman Steve Rossi said. The amount the state stands to lose will depend on how long the program is inactive. But Republican state Rep. Ed Sullivan of Mundelein, who’s sponsoring the bill to make online sales permanent, said the state can’t afford to lose any money amid the state budget crisis.

Alvarez asks for help on child support enforcement

CHICAGO – Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez has asked a federal court to force the state of Illinois to pay $18 million the county says it’s owed for a child support enforcement program. A Friday statement from her office said the action is a response to the state budget impasse in Springfield that’s left Illinois without a budget for fiscal 2016. The 13-page motion to intervene was filed this week in a related case dating back to 1992. It led to a consent decree on state payments. A hearing on the motion is set for March 17. Alvarez argues the state and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services haven’t reimbursed the money it costs to operate the program.

Sanders’ message resonates at SIU

EDWARDSVILLE – Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call for free higher education is resonating on an Illinois college campus facing deep cuts in state funding amid an eight-month budget impasse.

The Democratic presidential candidate spoke Friday morning at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where the primarily student audience packed a 4,000seat campus basketball arena, including on the gym floor and outer hallways. Sanders touched on familiar campaign themes, calling for campaign finance reform, marijuana decriminalization and increased corporate taxes. Southern Illinois is among the schools that have had to front scholarship money to students to cover expenses in the current school year. The Illinois governor and lawmakers remain unable to agree on a budget for the fiscal year that began in July 2015.

Illinois boosts incentives for federal spy agency site

MASCOUTAH – The state of Illinois agreed Friday to commit an additional $60 million in road projects and for public transportation to help lure a federal spy agency considering a move from its longtime home near downtown St. Louis. Gov. Bruce Rauner disclosed the new commitment after a private meeting with National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Director Robert Cardillo at the St. Clair County site near Scott Air Force Base. U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk and other state and federal elected officials also participated. The added incentives, which the governor said as capital improvement projects can be promised despite a state budget impasse now in its ninth month, come as neighboring Missouri similarly jostles for the coveted $1.6 billion federal project.

Company faces fines for lost radioactive device

SPRINGFIELD – A radioactive container that went missing last fall hasn’t been found, Illinois Emergency Management Agency officials said, and they want the company that lost it to pay $25,500 in penalties. Authorities started searching for the container in Illinois and Indiana in October after Wayne County Well Surveys Inc. of Fairfield notified the agency that it couldn’t locate the “radioactive well logging source holder.” It contains americium, a highly radioactive metal. On Thursday, the Agency said it issued a preliminary order seeking to impose the $25,500 penalty on the southeastern Illinois company. IEMA licenses the company’s possession and use of the device.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump signs autographs for supporters Friday during a rally at Wexford County Civic Center in Cadillac, Mich.

Rivals attack Trump’s ‘flexibility’ on policies The ASSOCIATED PRESS WARREN, Mich. – With an eye on the general election – and suddenly “flexible” on immigration – Donald Trump has backed off from some of the hardline rhetoric that has fueled his presidential campaign, at least for the moment. “Believe it or not, I’m a unifier,” Trump offered during a raucous rally Friday in suburban Detroit. “We are going to unify our country.” Republican adversary Ted Cruz wasn’t having it. “Donald is telling us he will betray us on everything he’s campaigned on,” he said as he campaigned in Maine, one of five states voting in weekend primaries and caucuses. Trump’s apparent outbreak of moderation on several fronts, including the most inflammatory one, immigration, comes after a dominant Super Tuesday performance that extended his reach for the Republican nomination and as GOP establishment figures stepped up to assail him. In the rollicking Republican debate Thursday night, Trump retreated from a position paper on his website, saying he had swung in favor of more temporary H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers. His stance against

that had been one of the few specific policies he had laid out. “I’m changing, I’m changing,” he said. “We need highly skilled people in this country.” Hours later, his campaign released a statement backing away from the new position, deepening the sense that Trump’s agenda may be less strategic than improvisational. More broadly, he spoke of the virtues of compromise. “In terms of immigration – and almost anything else – there always has to be some, you know, tug and pull and deal,” Trump added. “You have to be able to have some flexibility, some negotiation.” Cruz and others lashed out at Trump’s sudden embrace of flexibility on the central issue of his campaign. “Flexible is Washington code word that he’s going to stick it to the people,” Cruz said Friday. Campaigning in Kansas, rival Marco Rubio said Trump has shown “constant movement” on the issue, a “pattern” the Florida senator said is “disrespectful to voters.” “He finally took a position on ... guest workers coming from abroad, and then as soon as the debate was over he changed back,” Rubio said in Topeka, Kansas. He added, “I think it indicates that this is a person who has spent zero time thinking about public policy.”

RIGHT: Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., listens to concerns about contaminated water during a community forum Feb. 25 at Woodside Church in Flint, Mich. Flint, a majority-black impoverished community in a state run by Republicans, has become a dominant issue for the Democratic candidates before Tuesday’s primary in Michigan, so much so that they will return to the city for the seventh Democratic debate on Sunday.

For Democrats, Flint crisis offers campaign opportunity The ASSOCIATED PRESS FLINT, Mich. – Nakiya Wakes raised her hand in a church to ask Bernie Sanders what he would do to help the people of Flint if he is elected president. The city’s lead-tainted water, Wakes said, is to blame for her miscarriage and her son’s repeated suspensions from the first grade. About 2½ weeks earlier, she and another mother met privately with Hillary Clinton during her stop in the city to discuss solutions, not politics. “It’s really not political with me,” Wakes, 40, said after Sanders’ forum. “When are you going to get something done for the families and these children?” This majority-black impoverished community in central Michigan is dealing with a months-long state of emergency over its contaminated

drinking water. The crisis has become a hot-button issue for Democratic presidential candidates. The issue has become so dominant for these White House hopefuls that they scheduled a prime-time debate in the city on Sunday ahead of the state’s primary Tuesday. Sanders has called for Michigan’s Republican Gov. Rick Snyder to resign, saying an apology is not enough. Clinton dispatched aides to the city of nearly 100,000 in January, raised the issue during a nationally televised debate and won the mayor’s endorsement. A campaign ad with scenes from Clinton’s Feb. 7 visit to an African-American church in the city touts her resolve to “fight for you in Flint no matter how long it takes.” She has called the crisis “immoral” and said it never would have taken so long to resolve such a problem in a wealthy, predominantly white city. Sanders vowed “never again” would a disaster like this occur if he is

GOP candidates, meanwhile, are mostly avoiding talk of Flint along with mention of Snyder, whose administration has come under heavy criticism for the disaster. Elevated lead levels in children can cause adverse health effects, developmental delays, and emotional and behavioral problems. In the U.S. Senate, Republican Mike Lee of Utah said Friday that he was blocking a bipartisan bill to provide federal aid to Flint because Michigan had a budget surplus and doesn’t need the money. Republicans accuse Democrats of politicizing Flint for their own gains and oversimplifying how the fiasco happened. Clinton said on Super Tuesday that kids “were poisoned by toxic water because the governor wanted to save a little money” when the city was under state emergency financial management. Snyder, who has apologized for his mistakes and a lagging initial response, said there also were failures by local and federal officials.

elected president. In a break from his large rallies, he listened to angry residents voice their frustrations and he pointed to Flint’s aging underground pipes while pushing his $1 trillion infrastructure spending plan. Political experts say Clinton’s focus on Flint both before and since her loss in New Hampshire – including her assertion that racism is a factor – has helped shore up her standing with black voters. “You can tell that from their perspective, it’s a very important signal of affiliation with the African-American community nationally and in Michigan,” said Matt Grossmann, director of the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University. “The fact that she consolidated that support despite a pretty aggressive outreach from the Sanders campaign and a change in focus by the Sanders campaign, too, suggests that the overall message – ‘I care about Flint’ – is working.”

It’s more of a catch-all index that operates as “an atmospheric orchestra,” Gensini said. Gensini looks for shifts in that big index, especially as Earth transitions out of an El Nino, like now. He focuses on the jet stream – winds at 33,000 feet – changes. In this case it’s going from rather straight east-west to more roller coaster-like plunges north and south, altering energy in the atmosphere and making tornado outbreaks more prevalent, Gensini said. He has examined the biggest tornado outbreaks of past 50 years, including a deadly outbreak in April 2011 that killed 316 people. Each occurred during a transitional phase similar to the one we are about to experience. Another weather service meteorologist and storm chaser, Barbara Mayes Boustead, said the physics behind Gensini’s study makes sense and praised it for going further in explaining the “how” and “why” the Global Wind Oscillation works. Several other meteorologists said the study published in the American Meteorological Society’s journal Monthly Weather review was intriguing. Boustead said these types of longrange outlooks are good for the awareness of public and emergency managers, but cautioned forecasts are far from perfect.

WASHINGTON – Merrick Garland has been in this position before. The last time a seat opened up on the U.S. Supreme Court, in 2010, he was widely considered a top candidate for the job and interviewed with President Barack Obama. But the slot ultimately went to Justice Elena Kagan. It’s not hard to see why Obama might again find the 63-yearold Garland an attractive nominee to Merrick replace Justice An- Garland tonin Scalia, who died last month. He has a reputation as a moderate, which could please Republicans, and a resume that makes him look like a lot of the high court’s current members. He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School, a school attended by five other current justices and Scalia. He’s now chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, sometimes called the “second highest court in the land”

in part because of the frequency with which its judges ascend to the Supreme Court just a few blocks away. As a young lawyer, Garland clerked for two appointees of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan Jr. and Judge Henry J. Friendly, for whom Chief Justice John Roberts also clerked. Before becoming a judge, he was a prosecutor and supervised Justice Department investigations into the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. His background made him popular even with Republicans when he was nominated to the D.C. Circuit by President Bill Clinton in 1995, but the full Senate didn’t initially act on his nomination. The issue wasn’t Garland, Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley said at the time, but whether the court needed another judge at all. Grassley is now the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which would oversee any hearings on a nominee. Garland was ultimately confirmed to the D.C. Circuit on a vote of 76-23 in 1997. Thirty-two Republicans voted in favor of his nomination, including seven who still are members of the Senate.

WASHINGTON – Researchers say they’ve come up with a way to predict the likelihood of tornadoes two or three weeks in advance – a step toward better warnings of storms that kill an average of 80 Americans each year. Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at the College of DuPage outside Chicago, found a link between tornado activity in the U.S. and complicated atmospheric wave patterns that shift every 40 to 60 days. The pattern is dependable enough that last year he used it to predict overall tornado activity in the nation – and was right 10 out of 15 times. Now, Gensini has predicted higher than normal tornado activity from Sunday through March 19. Normally, there are about 14 or 15 tornadoes a week this time of year, but the forecasters predict at least 22, and likely more. Technically the prediction is for the nation as a whole, but Gensini said conditions are especially ripe for tornadoes in the Southeast and Great Plains. Specifically, he said, that means Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, southern Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and parts of Virginia. Gensini said he predicted these conditions back on Feb. 22. And in the past few days, the more widely used weather models have suddenly started to forecast severe weather for that area. “Victor’s results look promising,” although some big challenges and unknowns remain, emailed Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center. Because twisters are so small and short-lived – unlike hurricanes that meteorologists track for days as they lumber toward the coast – they are somewhat of a mystery for forecasters. Meteorologists now give notice up to five days in advance that thunderstorm conditions are going to be ripe for tornadoes, but that’s only as they forecast storm systems come together. It’s ever changing, so it can’t be statistical enough to provide the public with a longer term heads’ up, like they get with El Nino or hurricane seasons. Gensini’s study is based on something called the Global Wind Oscillation – actually, a collection of climate and weather wobbles, like the familiar El Nino and the less familiar and more

U.S. president, Democrat: Clinton

Hillary Clinton regained control of the race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president after the South Carolina and Super Tuesday primaries. The fact that Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont made this such a tight contest to begin with says as much about Clinton as it does about Sanders. Frankly, the former first lady has lost the trust of many Democratic voters despite the fact Clinton arguably has the most experience of any of the candidates running for president, Democrat or Republican. She was an active participant during her husband’s, former President Bill Clinton’s, eight years in the White House. She served as a U.S. senator from New York from 2001 to 2009, when she was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as U.S. secretary of state, a position she held until 2013. That’s not a bad résumé. But Clinton’s baggage holds her back. The State Department continues to investigate Clinton’s use of a private, unsecure email server to conduct official business while she was secretary of state, many of the emails containing classified information. Then there’s the matter of the Clinton Foundation. While Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, her husband was seeking millions of dollars in donations from foreign interests that had business before the State Department. Conflict of interest? Clinton’s role in the delayed American response to the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, leading to the deaths of four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, has come under heavy scrutiny. And Clinton’s transparency has come into question over her refusal to release transcripts or recordings of her controversial, paid speeches to big banks. In the meantime, Wall Street is pouring big money into her campaign. Sanders, Clinton’s opponent, is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. His radical economic agenda is dangerous. Sanders wants to raise taxes, particularly on the wealthy. He wants

How? By taking from the rich. Sanders doesn’t think the Affordable Care Act goes far enough. He prefers a single-payer system using Medicare. Sanders wants the federal government – taxpayers – to pay for two years of “free” college tuition for every graduating high school senior in the country. Did we mention Sanders’ economic agenda is dangerous? This is more an endorsement against Sanders than it is for Clinton, but for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president, we recommend Clinton.

Smith a pro-life candidate

To the Editor: I always make sure a candidate is prolife before I would consider that person for any office. Joni Smith, candidate for recorder of deeds, is a pro-life candidate, a great mom with a great family. I believe managing a family and bringing children into the world gives you a very special perspective on being pro-life. As a mother of four, she is well-versed in that category. She always has maintained a prolife stance but it seems to be getting overlooked by the media. I highly recommend her to the voters of McHenry County and urge all voters to consider her for this office. David Faccone Crystal Lake

Kenneally the right man

To the Editor: We clearly are living in a world where information, good and bad, is only a click away. Technology has, without a doubt, facilitated the bashing of candidates running for office, and, in its course, has altered the opinion of us voters. While modern media can feed us sometimes factbased stories about candidates, it simply cannot always tell the whole story as to

Wilbrandt suited for Springfield

To the Editor: Everyone knows the Illinois financial situation is a disaster. The Democratic Party leadership has resisted all efforts by Gov. Bruce Rauner to enact needed reform. Having walked door-to-door listening to voter concerns, Dan Wilbrandt recognizes the longer term solution to the political impasse has to come from the voters through referendums addressing issues such as term limits or forcing a balance budget on the Legislature. In the short run, Dan pledges to oppose tax increases and concentrate his efforts to reduce spending to help encourage business development and job creation. Given his history of public service as an assistant state’s attorney and village trustee, I believe he is the candidate best suited to be the state representative from McHenry County. Carl M.

Chicago-style politics

To the Editor: State representative candidate Allen Skillicorn has brought Chicago-style politics to McHenry County with campaign practices that are more in line with what one would expect to see in Cicero. It appears he has allowed himself to be supported by Chicago millionaires. Don’t be fooled by deceptive tactics such as tabloid newspapers made to look like real newspapers. Deceptive politics has no place in McHenry County. Do your research and decide for yourself who would best represent District 66 residents. Let’s have local voters choose our next state representative, not outside money.

Parrishes support Tirio

To the Editor: Recently, we have been pointed to as supporting Tina Hill in the race for county recorder. Not true. While we both know Tina and have come to like her and her family personally, we do not endorse her or want her to be county recorder. We are not into mudslinging or personal attacks on people, as we see a lot of in today’s politics. We are very firmly behind Joe Tirio for the position, and we have promised Joe, if he is elected, Ron will do what he can, voluntarily, to help Joe succeed – no payback expected or accepted. Joe will cut county costs and residents’ taxes, and we all would like to see that. He knows how, and he just needs all of our votes to get started. Please help us to help Joe.

A lot of nothing from GOP

To the Editor: The GOP wants leadership? Really? All I have heard out of the mouths of Republicans for the past seven years is: “The United States needs a leader. President Obama is no leader.” What? I think they should really concentrate on figuring out where Reince Priebus is. These rich white men are totally out of hand, acting like children insulting one another. People cannot even let their children watch the GOP race for president with the language and subject matters being shouted about. The GOPers prove daily they have no manners, are selfish, care about no one but themselves and winning. This is how we want our president to act? Really?

Anything goes with this party. They can’t even get together and figure out how to win. They would rather act like third-graders fighting to see who will get the ball first at recess. What exactly are the GOP positions on any issue? Does anyone in that party care? What would President Trump do with our Social Security? Up until now, we could count on getting it every month without fail. What is the new GOP president going to do? I never have seen a bunch of people doing nothing – in Congress or anywhere. All they are trying to do is outtalk the other one. Now the speaker of the House is following suit. He has given 38 interviews since being elected speaker. They have no other accomplishments – except talking about nothing. Where are the parents? Susan Gena Woodstock

Regna’s dedication

To the Editor: Regarding the upcoming primary election for the office of McHenry County state’s attorney, I strongly recommend Dan Regna. Having worked a number of years in law enforcement, retiring in 2014 from Lake in the Hills, I had the opportunity to interact and observe the working efforts of Dan Regna during his tenure as an assistant state’s attorney. From what I saw, Dan consistently demonstrated a high level of dedication, diligence and professionalism in his career as a prosecutor. Dan worked well with the police, maintaining a positive working relationship and providing appropriate legal guidance. I moved out of McHenry County after retiring, but if I still lived there, Dan Regna would get my vote, and I urge you to support Dan Regna for state’s attorney. Jim Wales Chicago

To the Editor: As residents of the 66th District, we hope our vote will count and our representative will listen to our needs. We have a bipartisan stalemate that is crippling our state and hurting us all. We need Dan Wilbrandt as our state representative. Dan is invested in his community and truly cares about the issues affecting its residents. He is our neighbor, our village trustee and someone willing to listen to our needs because they are his too. Dan is a problem-solver, a prosecutor trained to communicate clearly and effectively, without alienating his opponents, which will go a long way toward resolving tensions across party lines. Dan is extremely hardworking and his energetic attitude is contagious. He will not compromise his ideals or values and never will be for sale. Dan is exactly what we need in Springfield. Vote Dan Wilbrandt for state representative.

As a past victim/witness coordinator, I was able to see firsthand the manner in which Patrick Kenneally conducted himself as an assistant state’s attorney, often listening to him say these words: “Tell the truth.” There is no doubt he possesses a high level of integrity and professionalism. The new state’s attorney must continue to hold individuals accountable for their actions, be tenacious, skilled and unapologetic when it comes to seeking truth and justice. Kenneally is the right man for McHenry County.

U.S. posts strong job gains; unemployment remains low By JOSH BOAK

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. employers added a robust 242,000 workers in February as retailers, restaurants and health care providers drove another solid month for the resilient American job market. The unemployment rate remained at a low 4.9 percent. The Labor Department on Friday also revised up its estimates of job growth in December and January by a combined 30,000. Over the past three months, employers have added a strong 228,000 jobs. The gains show the U.S. economy has weathered a global economic slowdown and falling financial markets without suffering much blowback. The improvement will help ease fears that arose in recent weeks that a new U.S. recession might be looming. Friday’s jobs report also is sure to be closely monitored by the Federal Reserve and presidential candidates as a gauge of how well the economy is extending its 6½year rebound from the Great Recession. “Neither global headwinds, financial turbulence nor political uncertainty has dimmed American business’ enthusiasm for hiring,” said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. “The solid jobs report should allay recession fears.” Worker pay did slip last month after having picked up in January. But more Americans who had been sitting on the sidelines began searching for jobs last month and found them. Employers expect solid consumer demand in the months ahead even though the stock market has turned turbulent, oil prices have hurt energy industry jobs and a stronger dollar has reduced export sales. Some economists also suggested the jobs report created a path for the Fed to raise interest rates again as early as June. The Fed raised rates from record lows in December. “It’s probably a better than a 50 percent proposition that they will raise the rates in June,” said Kevin Logan, chief U.S. economist at the bank HSBC. Retailers added 54,900 jobs last month. Restaurants and bars added 40,200, the health care sector 38,100 and construction companies 19,000. Hiring by employers that are directly associated with consumers has more than offset layoffs at manufacturers and fossil fuel companies – two sectors squeezed by the pressures of uncertainty in China,

Consumers have provided the foundation for much of the job market’s improvement in what’s become something of a self-sustaining cycle. The nearly 2.7 million workers who have been added over the past 12 months have bolstered spending on autos, housing and meals out. Job losses for the mining sector – an area that includes the battered energy industry – have totaled 140,400 in the past 12 months. And manufacturing has added just 12,000 jobs over that time. With unemployment remaining low, economists have said more companies should begin to raise pay to attract workers, thereby fueling more hiring and increasing people’s ability to spend, invest and save. For years, one of the key weaknesses of the economic recovery has been tepid pay growth. Many of the jobs created in the wake of the Great Recession were in lower-paid occupations – from cashiers, waiters and store clerks to home health aides and temporary workers. But in recent months, wage gains began to tick upward. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen 2.2 percent, compared with an annual increase of 1.9 percent a year ago. Yet between January and February, earnings fell slightly in a setback for workers hoping for further gains. Econ-

omists were searching for explanations because wages had begun picking up in recent months. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, noted that wages might have slipped last month because the survey for the jobs report occurred before Feb. 15, which is often a payday for people who are paid semimonthly. Wage growth is often tepid when the jobs report survey week doesn’t include the 15th of the month, Shepherdson noted. Still, steady hiring in recent months has translated into more consumer spending in several key sectors. Auto sales rose 7 percent over last February to 1.3 million vehicles, according to Autodata Corp. Purchases of existing homes rose 0.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.47 million, according to the National Association of Realtors. That improvement followed a solid 2015, when sales achieved their highest level in nine years. And spending at restaurants has risen 6.1 percent over the past 12 months. Troubles abroad have tempered U.S. economic growth. China, the world’s second-largest economy, is struggling with high corporate debts and slower growth. Oil prices have tumbled amid relatively low demand. The strong dollar has crushed exports, while the stock market has dropped in an extended bout of volatility this year.

The restaurant should seat about 108 people, he said, and it is similar in size to some of the smaller Denny’s restaurants in the Chicago area. The hiring process already is underway with ads posted on job sites. Kahre said he hopes to have roughly 80 employees hired within the next few weeks. “It fits our model pretty well,” Kahre said. “I think it’s going to be pretty busy.”

LOS ANGELES – Hotels are going for a new minimalist look to attract younger guests, but the move has left some experienced travelers angry, wondering how they’re expected to get work done without a desk. Younger travelers, hotels note, just want a clean and efficient space to stay. They spend less time in rooms and like to socialize and work in vibrant lobbies with a sense of community. So carpets are being replaced by easyto-clean laminate floors. Tubs are being ripped out in favor of glass showers. And instead of working at a desk, guests increasingly are expected to use glorified window sills or oversized TV trays. If those “flexible workspaces” aren’t conducive to creativity, hotels are hoping to nudge guests to bring their laptops to the lobby, where they might buy a glass of wine while typing away. But for seasoned travelers, who enjoy working in the quiet of their rooms, this has caused major headaches. “Flexible, I have no problem with. Unusable, is what I have a problem with,” said Don Wright, 59, a computer consultant from Lexington, Kentucky. Often, these surfaces aren’t “bigger than a sheet of paper,” he says, adding that a laptop might fit, but not also a binder full of documents. Wright has spent up to 200 nights a year in hotels and understands that many make changes to cater to younger travelers. But he can’t imagine any millennial deciding not to stay in a hotel because the room has a desk. But for older road warriors, a lack of a desk is a deal breaker.

“When you are 25 all is well, and you can roll up in a ball and sit anywhere,” Wright said. “But when you turn 45, 50 or older, your body doesn’t like those types of positions.” It’s such a concern that frequent traveler forums online list desk-less hotels to avoid. Charles Kron, a 51-year-old insurance company training consultant from Atlanta, criticized Marriott in one such discussion for “moving away from being a business hotel chain.” On one trip, he used the ironing board as a desk. Heading to the lobby isn’t a solution. “I’m not on the road to be social,” said Kron, who spends 150 nights a year traveling. “I’m on the road to get work done.” Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson said guests no longer want a full dresser, closet and desk. Removing some items gives rooms a greater sense of space. Add a big TV, fast Wi-Fi and they are happy. “We can go too far if we say no work surface is the approach,” Sorenson said. “That’s not what we are doing. Increasingly, we settle in a place where there is a desk. It’s a smaller desk. It might sometimes be a flexible space.” Sorenson said the goal is to make rooms feel more modern. Take the bathroom. Historically, it was a small space with a door that swung in. By swapping the tub for a shower and converting the door to slide into the wall, the space feels larger. “People expect a better bath experience than they expected 25 or 30 years ago,” Sorenson says. The redesigned rooms are “very much like that experience you have at home.” While Marriott has taken most of the

heat from road warriors for removing desks at some properties, it isn’t alone. Several chains have been pushing new designs that upend the traditional room. At Best Western’s new Vib brand, bed headboards double as desks. Closets have been replaced with hooks on the wall and instead of a dresser, there are drawers under the bed. Hilton’s new Tru won’t have closets. Instead, there will be an open space with hangers and hooks on the wall. And the desk is replaced with a chair that includes a spot for a tiny laptop or tablet. Starwood’s Aloft brand also skips out on the closet, instead offering some hangers behind a curtain in a built-in wall in the bathroom. While hotels have said this is what customers want, there is also a cost-savings. The big hotel chains don’t own most of their properties but license out rights to them. And the owners and developers are pushing the parent companies to cut costs. “They are more concerned about the (construction) cost, because they don’t have enough time to make that up if we hit a downturn,” said Best Western CEO David Kong. “People can’t make the numbers work.” That’s one of the reasons Hilton’s Tru will cost about $84,000 a room to build, compared to $110,000 for its Hampton Inn brand. And Best Western just launched a new brand, Glo, which will cost $65,000 per room for construction. These rooms also are easier to clean meaning hotels can pare down their housekeeping staff. “This industry is starting to figure out what is efficient,” said Scott Berman, who looks at the hotel industry for consulting and accounting firm PwC. “It begins with labor.”

AUTOPSY: WATER, DRUGS LED TO BROWN’S DEATH

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2016

ATLANTA – Bobbi Kristina Brown had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body when she went underwater in a bathtub, causing brain damage that left her in a coma for six months, and an autopsy report released Friday said investigators could not determine if her death was intentional or accidental. The revelations come after months of speculation about how she died, including a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her estate against her partner, Nick Gordon, accusing him of giving her a “toxic cocktail” and putting her face down in water. The medical examiner’s office said it couldn’t figure out whether it was a suicide or a homicide so it classified the manner of death as “undetermined.”

Grammy Museum opens in Mississippi Delta

CLEVELAND, Miss. – The second and only official Grammy Museum outside of Los Angeles opens Saturday in the Mississippi Delta, cradle of the blues. Organizers chose Cleveland, Mississippi – two hours north of the state capital Jackson – for the nearly $20 million project and promise one of the most advanced museums in the country. It’s a smaller but updated version of its sister museum in California and employs high-definition touchscreens and interactive technology to chronicle American music history from before the first Grammy Awards in 1959 to the present. The bedrock of that history is the Mississippi Delta, said Bob Santelli, executive director of the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. The rhythmic guitar and soulful ballads of bluesmen such as Robert Johnson and B.B. King traveled up the Mississippi River and across the country, influencing nearly every style of American popular music, including jazz, hip-hop and rock ’n’ roll. The state also claims the most Grammy winners per capita in the world. “Isn’t that wild?” Santelli said. “You take the state of Mississippi out of American music history and you have a very large gap to fill.” The blues mesmerized musicians ranging from Tupelo native Elvis Presley to The Beatles and more in generations since, said Patricia Walker, songwriter and head of Delta State University’s music department. The original bluesmen – mostly African-American men living in the Jim Crow era of discrimination in the South – lived off the land and eased their hardships through music.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A jury has been selected in the civil trial between pro wrestler Hulk Hogan and a popular news website. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, is suing Gawker for $100 million for publishing a sex tape of him and the wife of a Tampa radio personality. Opening statements begin Monday. The six-member jury will determine if Gawker violated Hogan’s right to privacy when it published the video of the former professional wrestler having sex with his best friend’s wife. Hogan’s attorneys say it garnered 7 million views.

A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday night that the Super Bowl MVP will be a contestant on ABC’s upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.” The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the show’s full cast won’t be revealed until next week on “Good Morning America.” BSN Denver first reported Miller’s scheduled appearance on the popular prime-time show.

U.S.-Russian relations and the strong anti-American sentiments in Russian society. Harper, however, said she feels accepted by her classmates. Her teacher concurs, noting that just that morning some of the other girls had brought her a skirt to wear over her leotard be-

MOSCOW – Among the dozen 15-year-old girls in lavender leotards in Tatyana Galtseva’s class at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, one is different. And it’s not just because of her long, swan-like neck. She is Harper Ortlieb, an American, who left her small town in Oregon to move to Moscow to follow her dream of becoming a prima ballerina. The prestigious academy has 84 foreigners among its 721 students, but few are accepted when they are as young as Harper and few are integrated into the regular Russian program. “She is a very gifted girl. She is all ballet, all inspiration,” Galtseva said. “When children are talented, regardless of their nationality, they are alike in some way in how they approach what they do.” The Bolshoi took notice of Harper during a summer program it held in Connecticut and offered her a place in the Moscow academy. She knew her teachers would be tough and that it would be a challenge to be so far away from home, but it has been even harder than she expected. “It’s been very difficult, but with

cause they were expecting a visit to the class by foreign journalists. In her Moscow neighborhood, the women in her favorite grocery store have taken a shine to the delicate American teen, helping her pick out fresh fruit and keeping her favorite almond butter stocked. And in the local Starbucks they have learned to spell her unusual name on her cup. A total of 17 Americans study at the Bolshoi academy, outnumbered among the foreign students only by the 28 from Japan, with the rest coming from 22 other countries. Some of the foreign students took part in the spring concert on Thursday evening, and Harper was among the few girls from her class chosen for two of the dances. “Preparing for a performance, it’s all you think about. It kind of overtakes your mind,” she said. “Preparing for exams, I’m always very nervous. There’s a lot of stress. But with that stress, you know, comes happiness and you feel overjoyed when you’re dancing, you forget about everything, you forget about the sacrifices you make, you forget about the pain, or the tears. Dancing is what makes me happy, no matter how much you have to sacrifice.”

Super kitchen: stove, sink ... and wiﬁ countertop?

By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press

merican kitchens always have served as more than cooking and eating spaces. Generations of kids have done homework at kitchen tables. Parents claim counter space to organize family miscellany, tap out work emails on laptops or install a television. But now those work and entertainment uses are part of kitchen design from the get-go. The era of the “super kitchen” has arrived. “Our findings show that homeowners expect kitchen renovations to go far beyond improving flow, storage or aesthetics,” said Nino

High-tech stations

Designer Tiffany Brooks, host of HGTV’s “Most Embarrassing Rooms in America,” said homeowners want technology within easy reach, but protected from food and drink spills. Some add a built-in iPad docking area or laptop station on a counter, while others choose the less expensive option of adding a tablet dock mounted under a cabinet, with an arm that swings out. People also want power. Pop-up outlets are being installed directly into countertops, said Sarah Fishburne, director of trend and design for the Home Depot. Wireless “charging countertops” also are available, including LG’s Tech Top and Dupont Corian. And homeowners are adding extra power outlets throughout the kitchen. The goal, Fishburne said, is to have “many outlets readily available for anything you might need to plug in, from computer to glue gun.”

Sitchinava, principal economist at Houzz.com, in announcing the site’s 2016 Kitchen Trends Survey. “The ‘super kitchen’ literally has become a living room, family room and office, with finishes, layouts and decor that challenge us to define where the kitchen ends and the rest of the home begins.” Interior designer Mikel Welch calls the kitchen “the new epicenter of the house.” “Everybody’s working from home,” and they often prefer doing that in an open kitchen rather than a sequestered home office. What are the features of a true “super kitchen”?

••• More surfaces, more seating, more storage

Another tech choice: Dishwashers that run almost silently, so they won’t distract you while you’re working in the kitchen. And full-size televisions are being added to the main cooking area. The traditional focus of kitchen planning – a stove-sink-refrigerator triangle – has become a square, Welch said, with the TV added as a core necessity. Occasionally, new kitchen technology does involve food: “Warming drawers are huge,” Brooks said. Because many people work nontraditional hours, “somebody is cooking at 2,” she said, “but then somebody is eating at 5, and somebody is coming home at 9.” And some people, Welch said, “want to essentially bring Starbucks to them.” Restaurant-quality drink facilities are being added to home kitchens, including elaborate built-in tea and coffee stations, built-in soda systems, faucets with a sparkling water spigot and temperature-controlled wine refrigerators.

“An emerging trend is two islands being incorporated into a kitchen, if there is space,” Fishburne said. “This allows for a prep island and an island to accommodate other family functions like work or homework while you are preparing dinner.” Lounging-friendly seating is a priority, whether or not guests will be eating. If a kitchen doesn’t have space for a sectional sofa or other large seating, some homeowners are knocking down walls to merge the kitchen with other rooms. Houzz said half of its survey respondents reported making their kitchens more open to other indoor spaces. And along with opening up the kitchen to the rest of the house, many homeowners are decorating the kitchen to match other rooms. “The kitchen is becoming a lot prettier,” Brooks said. “It is what the living

room was” years ago. Kitchen storage, too, is becoming more stylish and more organized. Closet-design systems originally conceived for bedroom closets now are being used to organize kitchen cabinets and pantries, Brooks said. And rather than cramming work papers or family files into a cabinet designed for dishes, designers are building office and crafts storage into the kitchen. Many kitchens now have desks or computer workstations, and the days of bringing in “horrible, chunky rolling cabinets” to store files is over, Welch said. Non-kitchen items are stored in “built-ins that match the rest of the kitchen.” Whether they’re asking for the most flattering lighting or details like highend brass cabinet pulls, clients want everything to be beautiful, Welch said. More than ever, they want “that visual ‘wow’ factor.”

The Napoli Pizza Oven by Lynx Grills AP photo

Oven from Lynx Grills a try. Like others, the Napoli has a stainless exterior, a pizza stone and a stone-like interior designed to reflect heat like a brick oven. It requires about 30 minutes or so to heat to an internal temperature of 700 degrees or more. After that, a Neapolitan-style pizza should cook in a matter of minutes, but the ovens also can be adjusted to cook other styles of pizza and calzone. The Napoli was at the mercy of the elements, and my experiment was interrupted by high winds and cool ambient temperature. Working around the environmental curveballs and my

own inexperience, I eventually made some misshapen pies that certainly were better than frozen, with a nice crunchy crust. But whether it was the recipe or the receptacle, they weren’t quite on par with the ones from my favorite pizzeria, where pizza-making has been a family tradition for generations. In addition to the $4,000 countertop model, the Napoli also comes paired with a freestanding cart at $6,500 for the set. Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has a $6,900 outdoor countertop model called the Artisan Fire Pizza Oven. “It comes in three layers. Each layer can be easily unstacked and moved by

Pizza Hut is fine when you feel like going out. But pizza at home is the newest trend, with pizza ovens designed for the kitchen or backyard. This spring, one of the most recognizable names in home appliances will go after a piece of that pie when GE Monogram starts selling a $10,000 electric, residential wall model designed to fit into the space of a standard 30-inch wall oven. “We saw a considerable market gap when it came to the available at-home options for pizza enthusiasts and home chefs,” said Wayne Davis, commercial leader at FirstBuild, a subsidiary of GE Appliances. GE fired up its oven and cooked pizza in the middle of the Las Vegas Convention Center at this year’s recent Kitchen and Bath Industry Show. Sure, their professional chef made it look easy, but like most people, I’d never used a pizza oven. I didn’t even know that the tool used to pull pizza in and out of the oven is called a “peel.” Wondering what it’s like to use a pizza oven at home, I gave a propane-powered, outdoor, countertop Napoli Pizza

one person,” company spokesman Bradley Carson said. Last year, the company unveiled a version of the Artisan Fire Pizza Oven that can be built into brick, stone or concrete for a clean look in an outdoor kitchen. It costs $8,300, plus installation. At the kitchen show, Kalamazoo debuted an $11,000 “rolling pizza station” that holds the Artisan Fire oven and features built-in bins for storing toppings. Kalamazoo’s Artisan Fire differs in both form and function from the Lynx Napoli, so consumers should do their homework and investigate the scores of pizza-oven options available today from specialty shops and hardware stores. Will homeowners really spend thousands of dollars on pizza ovens? Hard to predict. On any given day, 13 percent of the country’s population age 2 and older eats pizza, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And the number of people making pizza at home using store-bought dough accounted for nearly 10 percent of pizza sales in 2015, up from 3 percent in 2013, according to Consumer Reports. Should homeowners tire of pizza, manufacturers say the outdoor ovens also can be used for roasting foods, baking breads or making fajitas.

How to prevent ear pain on planes Dear Dr. K: I get pain in my ears every time I fly and the plane descends for landing. A friend says that chewing gum works for him, but it doesn’t work for me. What can I do? Dear Reader: The ear pain you experience –barotrauma of the ear – is the most common medical problem reported by air travelers. “Barotrauma” refers to injuries caused by increased air pressure. Here’s why it happens. Your ear has three parts: the outer ear (including the ear canal), the middle ear and the inner ear. The eardrum comes between the outer ear and the middle ear. The middle ear is connected to the uppermost part of your throat (called the nasopharynx) by a thin canal called the Eustachian tube. Air constantly is moving through the Eustachian tube and into the middle ear. This balances the pressures in your middle and inner ears. Air pressure changes as the altitude changes. Therefore, the biggest changes occur when a plane is taking off or landing. While the plane has systems to reduce the sudden changes that occur during takeoff and landing, some still occur. When a plane’s air pressure changes suddenly and the Eustachian tube is blocked, it can create a vacuum in the middle ear that pulls the eardrum inward. This can cause pain. It also can muffle sounds. In more severe cases, the middle ear can fill with clear fluid. In the most severe cases, the eardrum can rupture. Fortunately, this is rare. Barotrauma is much more likely if you’re flying with a cold, infection or allergies. That’s because these conditions can block the Eustachian tube. So that’s what causes the problem you asked about. Now, what can you do about it?

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff First, take a decongestant one hour before your flight or use a decongestant nasal spray, or both. Since your ear problems come when the plane is landing, use the spray about 30 minutes before the plane is scheduled to land. Antihistamines may also help if you have allergies. If you experience the symptoms of barotrauma during a flight, try the following before the symptoms worsen. For most people, landing is worse than takeoff. The easiest tricks to try are: • Suck on hard candy. • Yawn and swallow frequently. Open your mouth very wide, as if you were yawning. Swallow, even though there’s nothing in your throat to swallow. When you do this, you tighten the muscles in the back of your throat. That tugs on the opening of the Eustachian tube and opens it. You often can feel and hear the tube pop open. If these methods don’t work, pinch your nose closed, inhale through your mouth, and then try to push the air out through your nose while keeping it pinched shut. Don’t push hard, and stop as soon as one ear pops. If you blow too hard, you can tear your eardrums, so do it carefully. One of these tricks should work for most people who have ear problems while flying – and I’ll bet one will work for you.

Her dad moved out of state. Maya spends a lot of time with us on weekends, and we all have embraced her as another family member. Recently, Maya pulled me aside and asked if I could be a father figure in her life. I was honored and immediately agreed. Now when she comes over she calls me “Dad” and even says “I love you.” I say it back. Last week, my wife mentioned our younger two children have noticed the bond between me and Maya and are upset about it.

They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.” Inter alia, that applies to bridge players. There are days when the top players are “in the zone,” just knowing where all of the cards lie. But they still analyze -- draw deductions from what has happened. In this deal, the original South, who thought he was an expert, lost two club tricks after reaching an incorrect conclusion. In six spades, South started with 11 top tricks: ﬁve spades, ﬁve hearts and one diamond. He was faced with guessing the club suit for the 12th winner. He won the heart lead with dummy’s queen, drew trumps in three rounds, and ran the hearts, discarding three clubs from the dummy. Then, after a diamond to the ace and a diamond ruff, the evil moment had arrived. When he led a low club toward the dummy, what should declarer have done, or was it a guess? At the time, South claimed that it was a guess; that West would always play low smoothly. The latter comment was right, but it was not a guess. West’s lead was known to have been a singleton. He would not have chosen that card looking at an ace, because he would have known that his partner could not have a speedy entry to deliver a heart ruff. So South should have played dummy’s club jack, which would have pulled out the ace and let the slam make.

Jacobs takes title in OT Golden Eagles defeat DeKalb in regional final By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com ELGIN – Jacobs sophomore guard Nikolas Balkcom was held scoreless in the first three quarters Friday, struggling to find open space against DeKalb in perhaps his biggest high school basketball game. But Balkcom never lost his cool. With Cameron Krutwig getting extra attention in the fourth, Balkcom took matters into his own hands, blowing by two DeKalb defenders to score his first two points and break a tie with less than two minutes left. DeKalb’s Cole Tucker secured a rebound and went coast-to-coast to tie the score and force overtime, but Balkcom’s best was still to come. In overtime, a double-teamed Krutwig found Balkcom open cross court for his only 3-pointer of the game, giving the Eagles a five-point cushion and creating

“Cam found me there, and it felt really great to make the shot with the fans cheering. It’s a great feeling,” said Balkcom, who scored six of his eight points in overtime. “I can’t say we could breathe after it, but it felt a little nicer. We had the momentum. It took a little of the pressure off.” Balkcom and Ryan Phillips, another sophomore, combined to score 11 of their team’s 15 points in overtime. Phillips finished with 13 points, while Krutwig, who hit all four of his free throws in overtime, finished with a game-high 18 points with 16 rebounds and two blocks and surpassed 1,000 points in his career. He now has 1,003 points. Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts credited his team, which starts two sophomores and one junior, for outlasting DeKalb, which starts four seniors and one junior.

Continued from page 2 “They got after loose balls, they rebounded,” Roberts said. “We had to defend, possession after possession, and I’m so proud of our guys because we won by fighting. ... I’m going to keep calling them kids because I want them to be kids. I like them as kids. They’re growing up awfully, awfully fast. I’m really proud of them.” For the second game in a row, it was a hustle play by Tim Randl that helped make sure Jacobs wouldn’t lose its lead. The 6-foot-2 senior forward secured an offensive rebound after a missed free throw in overtime, creating an extra possession for Jacobs. The ball found its way back to Balkcom, who was fouled and made two throws to give the Eagles a 47-42 lead with 1:05 left. All together, the

Eagles made 10 of 12 free throws in overtime. Randl was playing with a heavy heart after his grandmother died this week. He practiced Tuesday, played Wednesday, but didn’t practice Thursday or Friday leading up to the game. “I was able to watch some film to help me prepare for it,” Randl said. “She was definitely with me tonight. I definitely felt it out there. My family was able to come, so that was great support. This win was for her.” Krutwig said winning close games throughout the season helped prepare the Eagles for Friday’s test against the top-seeded Barbs. “All year, we’ve just been thinking about this moment, and we just stepped up to the occasion with a couple of big shots by some sophomores,” Krutwig said. “They had the (guts) to knock them in and they got it done.”

They took advantage of that.” The closest Marian got was 5949 with 6:02 remaining in the fourth quarter. When the Hurricanes made a push, Boylan consistently answered. Marian was trying to win its second regional in three years. “We just came up short tonight,” said Kaufmann, who scored 10 points. “It hurts a little bit.” Pischke hit 5 of 5 free throws and three 3-pointers for his 24 points. “[Pischke] is so good,” Winters said. “I have all the respect in the world for the kid.

FREEPORT – Marian Central felt encouraged about being tied with powerful Boylan at halftime because big man Sam Ohlrich had played only about seven minutes because of foul trouble. “We felt good because we missed Sam,” senior guard T.J. Kaufmann said. “We get him back, hit some more shots, we can be right in this thing.” The Titans showed why they are so respected just after halftime, hitting shots and scooping up every rebound when they missed. Boylan removed any doubt and rolled to a 77-58 victory in the Class 3A Freeport Regional boys basketball championship Friday night. The Titans (28-2) meet Kaneland (20-8) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Woodstock North Sectional. Boylan won the Northern Illinois Conference-10 title and won Jacobs’ Hinkle Holiday Classic in December. Marian guard Adam Pischke closed out his career with 24 points after scoring 41 on Wednesday in a 72-61 victory over Freeport. Pischke thought the Hurricanes (17-10) were in good shape at halftime. “They’re a good team and we played them tough, we played a good first half,” Pischke said. “I knew the third quarter was going to be huge and props to them, they came out fast, they crashed the boards really hard and got almost every offensive rebound. That’s a really good team, it just [stinks] we had to play them this early.” Boylan hit Marian with an 18-5 run to start the third quarter and outrebounded the Hurricanes, 14-2, in that quarter. Reserve forward Kevin Diemer had three putback baskets in that quarter alone. “We had to get up and get more rebounds and impose our will inside,” Boylan guard Zach Couper said. Couper led the Titans with 21 points, while Diemer added 15, Sam Fehrle had 12 and Anthony Foreman 11. “We made a concerted effort to get the ball in the paint, obviously, and we finished well,” Titans coach Mike Winters said. “When we didn’t finish, guys were all over the glass.” Ohlrich, a 6-foot-8 junior, was

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A NORTH CHICAGO REGIONAL

Johnsburg upset bid turned away By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com NORTH CHICAGO – Before Friday night’s regional final, Johnsburg coach Mike Toussaint reminded his boys basketall team of the rare company it already was among. “Our record is not indicative of how good this team is. I told the guys, ‘There’s five teams in our area that are still playing tonight,’” Toussaint said. “We should have been still standing. We had our opportunities, it just wasn’t our night.” The Skyhawks led from the first basket until the fourth quarter but couldn’t hold off a late charge from top-seeded North Chicago. The host Warhawks beat the No. 7-seeded Skyhawks, 49-43, in the Class 3A North Chicago Regional championship game at North Chicago High School. The Warhawks (17-10) advance to the Ridgewood Sectional semifinals at 7 p.m. Tuesday against Ridgewood. “We’re confident. We don’t get blown out,” Toussaint said. “We’re tough, we’re tough kids that work hard every single day. We just battle. ... Our guys did exactly what we asked them to do.” From the outset, the Skyhawks brought the energy to a game that was at times fast-paced, scrappy and physical. “Came out, kicked them in the face right away, boxed out, got every board we could, got most of the hustle plays,” Tanner Kreassig said. “Just outworked them in the first.” North Chicago coach Gerald Coleman agreed. “They outhustled us,” Coleman said. “Johnsburg played very hard. I watched them in the semifinal and earlier in the year, and they went at a level I had never seen. “Coach did a great job getting them motivated for this game. And when you’re the No. 1 seed, teams are going to play their best. My guys, we just knew our thing was if we just stayed within five or six points, we’re that type of team we’re going to be relaxed and we probably can get you.” The Skyhawks led 17-10 at the end of the first quarter and 31-25 at halftime. North Chicago began climbing back into the game in the third, capitalizing on second-chance opportunities. The Warhawks tied the score at 35 with 2:39 left in the third, the first tie since 0-0.

Of course we wanted to win, but still proud of the team that we got here.” at 37, and from there, the teams tugged back and forth, each making small runs to take a lead. The turning point came when Kreassig fouled out with 2:01 left in the game. Toussaint said losing Kreassig hurt “a lot. ... He’s our leader. He’s our team leader, he’s a three-year starter. He’s our guy. So that was hard. But I still had faith in the guys we had out there.” The Skyhawks, leading 42-39 at the time, turned the ball over on their next two possessions, while the Warhawks took a lead they wouldn’t give back. North Chicago outscored Johnsburg 10-1 over the final 2:01, putting the game away at the free-throw line. Kreassig led Johnsburg (14-17) with 20 points.

3 seniors charged with hazing freshman on ‘No Gay Thursday’

Three senior football players at a suburban Philadelphia high school have been charged with assaulting a freshman with a broom handle on what the team called “No Gay Thursday,” a prosecutor announced Friday. Three 17-year-old students at Conestoga High School held down a 14-year-old boy on Oct. 15 and penetrated him with the broom handle while he screamed, Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said. After the charges were announced, longtime head football coach John Vogan was suspended from all coaching duties pending the outcome of an investigation by the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District. The school investigation will “determine whether or not code of conduct violations occurred, the awareness and level of supervision provided by the coaching staff, and what further measures can promote inclusive and respectful behavior,” Superintendent Richard Gusick wrote on the district’s website, adding that students could face “firm but fair consequences.” There is no evidence the coaching staff was aware of the assault on the 14-yearold or the team’s hazing culture, Hogan said, because coaches typically stayed out of the locker room. “This was generally upperclassmen doing this to the underclassmen. Bigger kids doing it to smaller kids. Hazing,” he said. Vogan told The Associated Press he had no comment.

McIlroy, Johnson chase Scott in Cadillac Championship

DORAL, Fla. – A rare instance of Adam Scott seeming less than pleased Friday came after his first putt on the par-4 16th, when he miscalculated the speed and left the 30-footer well short. Of course, that was after he drove the green on the 315-yard hole and had to merely settle for a two-putt birdie. Otherwise, there wasn’t much for Scott to dislike during the second round of the Cadillac Championship. His 6-under-par 66 got him to 10 under for the tournament and put last week’s winner of The Honda Classic two shots clear of Rory McIlroy and defending champion Dustin Johnson at the midway point of the first World Golf Championships event of the season. Johnson shot a flawless 64, eight birdies and no dropped shots on the way to the best round of the day. McIlroy shot a 65 for his share of second place after two rounds, and Danny Willett (66) was alone in fourth at 7 under.

I can’t tell you why. We just haven’t done it. Sometimes we let off the gas, and it’s not a pretty sight.” Asked whether he will play Saturday, Butler said it’s too soon to say. “I do not know,” he said. “That’s

Weise went from grinder to reliable scorer By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The way Dale Weise sees it, there are plenty of other guys like him who could be everyday NHL players. Guys with the right mix of grit and skill. Guys who can be impact players, who could be the type of player a Stanley Cup contender would seek out at the trade deadline. They just don’t want it as badly as he did. “I came into the league in Vancouver as a fourth-line guy, and [had to] fight as much as I could and just try to get my foot in the door,” Weise said. “I was willing to do whatever it took just to get in the league and do what I had to do. That’s kind of the difference. There’s a ton of players in the American Hockey League that can play in the NHL that don’t want to make the sacrifice to be a third- or fourth-line guy to get themselves in the door.” Weise was never destined for NHL glory. He was a fourth-round pick who

spent nearly three full seasons in the AHL. He had to fight his way into the NHL with the Rangers and then the Canucks – often literally, trying to catch their attention by dropping his gloves. Then he was pigeon-holed as a fourth-line grinder, an energy guy. But his self-confidence – the kind of arrogance al- Dale Weise most every pro athlete has to have – never wavered. Now he’s a productive scorer in the NHL, a clutch playoff performer, and a winger on a scoring line for the high-octane Blackhawks. Oh, and he’s a fast-talking, pain in the neck to play against. If all that sounds familiar, it should. Weise is basically a bigger Andrew Shaw. “Yeah, he’s one of those kinds of guys,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “They can score and they bring the intangibles you appreciate.”

Although Weise wasn’t passed over in the draft as was Shaw, he’s been doubted for most of his pro career, ever since the Rangers made him a fourthround pick in 2008. And like Shaw, those doubts only fueled him, and made him mentally tougher. “Oh, for sure,” Weise said. “It kind of makes you ready for any situation you’re thrown into. I’ve had to earn everything that I’ve got. I’m having a good year this year, and I think I’m still trying to shake critics [who say] I’m not as good as I am. So I always have a chip on my shoulder. I’m very confident in my abilities, I’m very confident in myself as an individual.” Weise played 10 games with the Rangers during the 2010-11 season, and was a serviceable depth player and enforcer for the Canucks, with 15 fights between 2011-13. But it was after he was dealt to the Canadiens in February of 2014 that he took the next step. He had three goals during the 2014 playoffs, including an overtime winner, and made a name for himself by crawling under

the skin of Boston’s Milan Lucic. He had 10 goals the next season, and added another overtime winner in the 2015 playoffs. Then this season, he put up 14 goals in 56 games, earning himself a spot on Stan Bowman’s short list as he sought out skilled-but-physical wingers to play alongside Teuvo Teravainen. “He’s a pretty powerful forward – good size with a pretty good shot,” said Tomas Fleischmann, who came over from Montreal with Weise and who will play on his line. “For our third line he’s going to be great.” Weise will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and it’s too early to know whether the Hawks will be able to re-sign him – or even whether they’ll want to. But an uncertain future is nothing new to Weise, who’s never lacking for motivation. “I’m not trying to do anything special; this team’s at the top of the league for a reason,” Weise said. “I’m just going to come in and do what I do – I think I can add a little bit to this team. So I’m excited to see what I can do.”

CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler practiced with his teammates Friday for the first time since he injured his left knee Feb. 5 and could return when the Bulls take on Houston on Saturday at the United Center. Whether he returns against the Rockets or later, however, Butler said the Bulls need to ramp up their sense of urgency in their final 22 games. “I live for these moments,” he said. “I want everybody else to wake up right now and realize how important each and every one of these last 22 games are.” Is Butler surprised that playing hard, which was the Bulls’ trademark under Tom Thibodeau, has become a question mark? “Yes and no,” he said. “When you play hard, you win games. I don’t think we play hard all the time. You have to bring it every night against every opponent. Because everybody in this league has a roster full of NBA players.” The transition to new coach Fred Hoiberg, the spate of injuries, especially to key defenders ... the list of causes for the Bulls’ softness is lengthy. It’s also not the focus now.

will come very quickly for Jimmy. He’s been working extremely hard throughout this process to get himself ready to go out and play. [Friday] was a step in the right direction. We’ll see how he’s feeling [Saturday] morning. We won’t rule [a Saturday return] out, but he’s still got to come in and get through shootaround and then hopefully he’ll be ready to go.” Taj Gibson (hamstring), who missed a game for the first time this season, Wednesday at Orlando, also will be a game-day decision. “He’s another guy that can defend, one of our top defenders,” Hoiberg said. “When you have Jimmy out of the lineup and Jo [Noah] obviously has been out a lineup and you have Taj out of the lineup, you know, we’ve struggled [defensively]. To get Taj and Jimmy on the floor together, I think, would definitely be a step in the right direction.” Like Butler, Hoiberg is intent on seeing the Bulls rekindle their intensity and salvage something from a troubling season. They were tied for ninth in the Eastern Conference, but only half a game behind No. 8 Detroit, which held the final playoff slot. And the Bulls were only 21/2 games behind No. 5 Atlanta.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Sale works on move, eager for real game By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Chris Sale is the first to admit his move to first needs work. “My move is terrible over there,” Sale said Friday morning after throwing the equivalent of three-plus innings against live hitters on the backfields at Camelback Ranch. “That’s the main reason why we are working on it – to get a little bit better. Something a little bit more natural looking than picking up, lifting up and going over.” Pitching coach Don Cooper admits the pickoff move by lefty pitchers is not his forte. But Double-A Birmingham pitching coach J.R. Perdew has some expertise, and he was with Sale and Cooper after the Sox prized left-hander got up and down four times to pitch against Sox hitters. Lefty Carlos Rodon also received instructional tips on his move. “Top secret stuff,” Sale said. Sale, who is one of the best at keeping runners off base, knows holding runners is also in the job description. “A lot of times catchers get flak for not throwing them out. But a lot of times it’s on us getting it there quick and keeping them honest at first,” Sale said. For the purpose of staying fresh, avoiding injury and sidestepping teams he might face during the regular season, the Sox’s four-time All-Star isn’t scheduled to pitch in a Cactus League game until March 19, but he is getting plenty of throwing in. Before Jacob Turner started the Sox’s Cactus League game

against the Indians on the big field, Sale was on a backfield getting his work in. “It’s a more controlled environment,” he said. “You can pick and choose what you want to do and work on. Stuff like that. It went well.” Sale broke Adam Eaton’s bat (Eaton jokingly asked Sale to sign it), and it’s such caveats that will have to do for quenching competitive juices. Sale admits he wouldn’t mind pitching in games now. “Yeah, especially hearing Johnny (Danks) talking about getting out there yesterday (in the Cactus League opener),” Sale said. “It’s tough. You want to play. But I get where we are at. My first X amount of starts, I think three or four were against teams we were playing right out of the gate or in division early on. They didn’t want the whole getting looks thing. (But) you want to play in games. That’s why we are down here.” Cooper was in a jovial mood, and perhaps because Sale’s, Rodon’s and right-hander Erik Johnson’s side sessions all went “really good.” “What a great morning,” Cooper said. “Sale left here today feeling very good,” Cooper said, “because we had focused work on certain stuff. It might be arm-side two-seamers, it might be fastballs in on a righty, it could be different things, different days.” The 6-foot-6 stringbean also revealed he’s 10 pounds heavier than he was last spring. His weight is up to 190. “Moving up on my venture to 200, which is still skinny for me,” said Sale, who turns 27 this month. “Every year trying to [gain weight].”

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Super utility player goes 1 for 2 with SB in win over Angels By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs finalized the last of their player contracts, announcing Friday agreements with all their pre-arbitration-level players. That included Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant, who will make $652,000 this season – an unusually high 38 percent raise for a second-year player (a function of the club’s escalator policy for pre-arb players.

With Chris Coghlan’s trade to the Athletics last week, Baez added backup first baseman to his duties. He started early work there this week, using a mitt borrowed from a coach. “It feels all right,” he said. “It’s not hard, but you’ve got to get used to it. It’s like third base but backwards.” In Friday’s game, he showed good enough footwork to handle a wide throw from Addison Russell at short and hand-

He looks very comfortable,” said manager Joe Maddon, who moved Baez from third to first during a double switch Sept. 30 for Baez’s only professional inning at the position. “He’s very comfortable actually anywhere out there.” The role isn’t one Baez envisioned when he broke into the majors as the Cubs’ second baseman late in the 2014 season – and certainly not when he was

MILWAUKEE BREWERS

No double switch: Hank the Ballpark Pup same By GENARO C. ARMAS

adno=0348334

The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE – No double switch. No tale of deceit. The Milwaukee Brewers say it’s still the same Hank the dog. The Brewers confirmed Friday that their furry, four-legged mascot – who officially goes by Hank the Ballpark Pup – is the same bichon frise mix that walked on to the team’s spring training complex in Phoenix two years ago. “This is definitely the original Hank, and this a notarized document from Hank’s veterinarian,” chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger said, holding the document up in his hand as if he was making a closing argument. Hank was then escorted into the lobby of the Wisconsin Humane Society, where the Brewers met the media. Straight-faced Hank mugged for the cameras before cuddling up to reporters for attention. The team was playfully responding to

drafted ninth overall in 2011. “I’m going to be moving around, and I’m fine with that right now,” he said. “My career is just starting. My future’s going to let us know where I’m going to play. I don’t have any position to find my position right now.” One year after Baez struggled to hit throughout the spring (and failed to make the big-league club), Maddon said the defensive work all over the field this spring could provide Baez the added benefit of not allowing him to think too much about hitting and maybe even be able to relax more at the plate. “It makes a lot of sense,” he said. “We’ll see what’s going to happen.” Either way, Baez seems to bring a heightened sense of confidence and sense of belonging into camp this spring, coming off his starting shortstop role in last year’s National League Championship Series (for the injured Addison Russell). “For sure,” he said. “I know what I can do. And [Maddon] knows what every player can do here. So I don’t have to show anybody what I can do. I’m just trying to stay healthy and play hard the whole year.”

12 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 80, BALL ST. 69

Huskies reach elusive 20-win plateau NIU last hit milestone 20 years ago By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Maybe the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team should have taken their free throws from the 3-point line. The Huskies were deadly from deep Friday in an 80-69 Mid-American Conference West Division win over Ball State at the NIU Convocation Center, giving them 20 wins in a season for the first time since 1995-96. “I am just so proud of the guys because they are one of not many teams to get 20 wins at this university, and it’s a big step in the right direction,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said of the Huskies’ fourth 20-win season in school history. The Huskies (20-11, 9-9 MAC West) will host Western Michigan (13-18, 7-11 MAC West) in the first round of the MAC tournament at 7 p.m. Monday in DeKalb. Against the Cardinals, NIU finished 14 for 24 (58 percent) from the 3-point line, including 7 for 10 in the second half. At the free-throw line, however, the Huskies were 6 for 14 (43 percent). “I should have told those guys to step back and shoot a 3 – I’m just kidding,” Montgomery said. Junior guard Aaric Armstead led five Huskies in double figures with 14 points and seven rebounds, freshman Levi Bradley had 13 points, senior guard Chuks Iroegbu scored 12 and freshman guard Marshawn Wilson and senior guard Travon Baker each added 11 in the win. The Huskies were without sophomore center Marin Maric, who in-

jured his right ankle in the second half of their 75-71 loss Tuesday at Eastern Michigan. Montgomery said Maric is day-to-day and is wearing a boot on his injured foot. However, the Huskies showed they can win without Maric, who is averaging 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds a game. “When you come in a little short-handed not having Marin ... you don’t sleep as easy at night,” Montgomery said. “But I thought we gang-rebounded and found a way. We were very efficient making threes. ... We shared the ball and defended and just found a way to win the game.” In the final minute of the win over Ball State, Montgomery subbed out his two seniors – Baker and Iroegbu. Iroegbu is a junior college transfer, and Baker has spent all four seasons with the Huskies, including a 5-25 season in 2012-13. “(He’s been through) the good, the bad and the ugly, I’m just so proud of him,” Montgomery said of Baker, who is the all-time leader in games played (123) and steals (178). “I told him that I got choked up (Friday) when we had a team meeting. You always cherish your seniors because they made it through a long journey. “Tray Baker is so important to NIU because he’s never missed a game, he’s never missed a practice, he’s been a model citizen. He has a lot of records here. ... To go from five wins to 20 wins, it means a lot.” The win over Ball State (19-12, 10-8) also continued the Huskies’ dominance NIU Media Services at home this season, going 17-1 overall and 8-1 in conference play at the Convo- Northern Illinois freshman guard Marshawn Wilson goes in for a dunk Friday against Ball State in DeKalb.

14 UFC 196

Holm, McGregor didn’t want to wait Champs willing to take risks by fighting By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Holly Holm could have kicked back and prepared for the rematch while Ronda Rousey regroups from the beating Holm gave her four months ago. Conor McGregor could have played it safe and waited for another title fight after Rafael Dos Anjos dropped out of their bout last week. Instead, Holm and McGregor eagerly accepted matchups Holly Holm at UFC 196 that more cautious champions would have avoided. Their hunger to fight allowed the UFC to create a blockbuster pay-perview card Saturday night headlined by two of its biggest stars taking unnecessary risks. “I’m here because I’m passionate about fighting,” Holm said. “I don’t want to do anything because it’s more strategic. I just want to fight. ... I told myself when I got in this sport, ‘Passion first. Everything else falls into place.’ ” Holm (10-0) takes on veteran title contender Miesha Tate (17-5) for the bantamweight belt shortly before McGregor (19-2) faces hard-hitting brawler Nate Diaz (19-10) in a nontitle welterweight bout – 25 pounds heavier than the usual limit for McGregor, the UFC’s featherweight king. Neither champion needed to take the fights they’re facing, but neither betrays any sign of worry about stepping into the MGM Grand Garden Arena cage. The fans clearly appreciate it: Thousands lined up outside the arena several hours before Friday’s weigh-in for a card that ranks among the UFC’s hottest tickets in recent years. Holm spent the past few months in a whirlwind of publicity and attention after her stunning head-kick knockout of Rousey, the most popular fighter in mixed martial arts. But when Rousey decided she couldn’t fight again until the fall, Holm agreed to a showdown with Tate, a gritty wrestler who hasn’t lost since Rousey beat her for the second time in 2013. “I feel like this is a really tough fight for me, but what else am I supposed to be doing here?” Holm asked. “I want

to fight all the girls that are the best, because that’s what makes the best victory. Obviously, this is a really big challenge for me to take, and a lot of people think it was even silly.” When Holm violently dethroned Rousey, she cleared a path for McGregor to rise atop the sport. The Irishman with a 15-fight winning streak seized that chance with both fists, winning the 145-pound title with a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo in December. And although Holm and Tate are willing promoters of their fight, nobody can match McGregor’s showmanship. His presence on a card guarantees huge attention and revenue when fans and cameras behold his verbal gifts, which were in sharp form at this week’s news conference. “You’re like a gazelle,” McGregor said to Diaz. “I’m a lion in there, and I’m going to eat you alive. Your little gazelle friends are going to be staring through the cage looking at your carcass getting eaten alive, and they can do nothing. All they can say is they’re never going to cross this river again.” Holm and Tate grinned as they watched from the stage while McGregor and Diaz lobbed insults at each other. “They’re over here flipping each other off under the table, and Holly and I are making each other friendship bracelets,” Tate said. “I’m having a great time.” McGregor planned to become a two-division champion this week, but Dos Anjos hurt his foot last month. Rather than waiting for the lightweight champ, McGregor agreed to a nontitle showdown with Diaz, one of the sport’s most entertaining fighters and a good foil for McGregor’s verbal jousting.
