Taking algebra out of life’s equation I’m really bad at math. If I was desperately thrashing in a riptide and math was a life preserver, I’d drown. If I was really hungry and math was a free pass to Golden Corral, I’d starve. If I was lost walking in the middle of Australia, surrounded by a pack of ravenous wild dogs, and math was a V8 Land Rover escape vehicle … well, it’s Dingos 1, Gringos 0.

No greater was my math incompetence more obvious than when I was taking Algebra I as a freshman in high school. I had enough trouble with numbers, but now they had to throw in letters as well. So “x” quickly became my least favorite letter of the alphabet, and I didn’t even know “y.” It was like there was this number disguised as a letter floating around out there and I had to catch it, but it always was just out of my reach.

After a while, I got so frustrated that when the teacher assigned us a problem and told us to find “x,” I’d simply circle the “x,” draw an arrow pointing to it and write, “Here it is.”

Of course, the teacher’s response always was another letter, a big, red F, which rapidly was challenging “x” for the Letter Most Likely to Succeed in Ruining My Life.

I actually passed that class with a grade of D-, which the teacher said she gave me because she didn’t want to risk having to teach me again. I thanked her and told her maybe she just needed to move on and stop trying to find her “x.”

Now, that being said, I don’t think my experience with algebra is all that uncommon. To this day, there is a large segment of students who find themselves banging headlong into the Great Wall of Polynomials. Statistics aside, I’m betting you either have experienced the agony of the exponent or know someone who has.

I don’t know if it’s a genetically deficient math gene or an underdeveloped intraparietal sulcus region of the brain or simply a lack of effort, but we coefficiently impaired algebra initiates just don’t get it. We can stare at an

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava equation until there’s a hole in the paper and still not understand it. When we walk into a math class we can smell fear, and fear smells exactly like (x² + y²)² = (x² - y²)² + (2xy)². And when we’re called to the board to solve a problem, we might as well be summoned before a firing squad.

But, worse than that, failing algebra is not simply averaging 52 percent on quizzes and tests. With math requirements often literally defining one’s future education, it’s not fair the ability to solve quadratic equations should be the prime determinant that brings one to the brink of academic success or failure, to the achievement of a degree or the status of a dropout. It’s as if the powers that be have decided higher education should not be wasted on someone who cannot graph a linear equation using slope and y. Algebra class shouldn’t be the place where hopes and dreams go to die.

Now, that’s not to say algebra isn’t valuable. It’s just that perhaps it should not be the Great Gatekeeper to the future educational aspirations of millions of hungry learners.

Someone once said if you judged a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid. Or, algebraically speaking, if the fish is “u” and the tree is represents an unknown mathematical variable, such as algebra class, then stupid is a constant.

Geesh, maybe algebra isn’t so hard after all.

FACEBOOK THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Should Illinois decriminalize marijuana and why or why not?

XYRIL MANGALINDAN – People will still access it even if it’s illegal. Just like prohibition of alcohol back in the 1920’s.

Decriminalize it.

LISA SCHULTZ – Let it Go, Illinois. REAP THE REWARDS for all of us please! CO is a great example!

CHERYL HEART RILEY – Follow Colorado’s lead and turn Illinois’ deficit to black.

DAVE OLSEN – I wonder what the police and lawmakers have to say about this. It does seem to be a waste of resources for the Police and the courts.

ROBIN O’HALLERAN – “not JUST decriminalize it, but LEGALIZE it....huge income boon for the whole state...maybe they can lower our outrageous real estate taxes, & school fees!”

Group has provided programs for people with disabilities for 40 years

By HANNAH PROKOP

rom the number of programs offered to the amount of space it’s owned, Crystal Lake-based Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association has grown substantially since it started 40 years ago.

In the 1960s, Illinois approved legislation that allowed park districts to form cooperatives with each other. That legislation was amended in the 1970s to allow park districts to help fund recreation for people with disabilities – a program unique to this state, NISRA Executive Director Jim Wiseman said.

“People with disabilities tend to have more free time, they have barriers to employment, barriers with transportation,” Wiseman said. “So what we especially see with the young adult population is they have less access to either work or play, so it’s very important for NISRA we fill that void.”

About 1,900 participants are involved with NISRA yearly – compared with about 120 campers who started in NISRA’s first summer day camps in 1977, and the available programs have grown with the population, according to numbers provided by NISRA. There were six programs and special events offered in the fall of 1976. Today, there are 950 weekly programs, social clubs, summer day camps, special events, trips and leisure education activities.

NISRA is governed by a board of representatives from each of the 13-member districts’ park districts or municipalities from Barrington, Cary, Crystal Lake, Dundee Township, Elgin, Hampshire Township, Huntley, Harvard, Lake in the Hills, Marengo, McHenry, Wauconda and Woodstock. Member districts provide policy and financial support and space for NISRA’s recreational activities.

In addition to district fees and membership fees for participants, the NISRA Foundation also was started in 1991 to support the association’s programs and capital projects.

LOCAL BRIEF Weather service: Windy day in store for county

McHenry County residents should prepare for a windy Saturday as a cold front moves over the area, the National Weather Service warned Friday.

A wind advisory issued by the service will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Northwest winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of up to 50 mph will be in the area by Saturday morning, the warning said. The strong winds will likely make for difficult travel conditions, especially for high profile vehicles, the service said.

The wind also could cause minor property damage, and meteorologists are advising residents that lightweight objects should be secured or brought indoors.

Saturday’s forecast calls for temperatures to top out in the low 40s and a 40 percent chance of light rain or snow showers. Temperature are expected to rise into the upper 50s Sunday.

Firefighters on Friday search a small pond north of Anderson Drive in Lake in the Hills near the area where 60-year-old Larry Ebinger was last seen about 2:30 p.m. Thursday. Ebinger was found Friday morning in Chicago.

Missing man with dementia found

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills man with dementia who was reported missing was found Friday morning in Chicago, his sister said.

Larry Ebinger, 60, had last been seen about 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of Anderson Drive and Kay Court after he left his home, police said. His girlfriend had reported him missing from their home, and police asked for help in their search just before Larry Ebinger midnight.

Diane Zuber, Ebinger’s sister, breathed a sigh of relief Friday afternoon as she waited for her brother to be returned home.

“My parents were thinking the worst, that he was dead,” Zuber said. “So we are thrilled he is OK.” Lake in the Hills and other police agencies used boats and sonar technology to scour ponds, drove ATVs along the Prairie Trail, and deployed the Air One helicopter to conduct searches in the

LOCAL BRIEFS Police: Man offering toys to children a misunderstanding

HUNTLEY – The incident involving two children being approached by a man who offered them toys in a Huntley subdivision was a misunderstanding and not criminal, police said Friday.

Huntley police issued a Nixle alert Wednesday saying they were investigating after two 12-year-olds said they were approached by a man who exited a dark SUV. The incident happened about 3:20 p.m. in the area of Fenwick Lane and Hadley Drive in the Talamore subdivision, police said.

Police issued a subsequent Nixle alert Friday saying they had identified and spoken with the man. Police determined there was not criminal intent or a threat to the community. Police were not available for further comment Friday afternoon.

1 adult, 2 children taken to the hospital after 1-car crash

HUNTLEY – One adult and two children were taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital with injuries after a one-car crash Friday, a fire official said.

Huntley Fire Protection District Lt.

James Brown said none of their injuries were considered life-threatening.

The crash happened on Powers Road just north of Interstate 90 about 5 p.m., Brown said. The car the three were riding in veered off the road and hit a tree, sustaining heavy damage.

The adult had to be extricated because of the damage to the car, he said. The Rutland-Dundee Fire Protection District assisted with an ambulance at the scene.

Brown was not certain if weather was a factor, but he said it was raining when first responders arrived at the scene.

DeKALB COUNTY

Judge: McCullough will remain in prison for now

SYCAMORE – A DeKalb County judge Friday refused to make a ruling on Jack McCullough’s request for immediate release from Pontiac Correctional Center, where he is serving a life sentence for the 1957 murder of 7-yearold Maria Ridulph.

Chicago lawyers Gabriel Fuentes and Shaun Van Horn of Jenner & Block, who will represent McCullough, filed a motion Thursday requesting that DeKalb County Judge William Brady vacate McCullough’s murder conviction or release him on bond.

But Brady, who earlier in the week had set the next hearing date in the case for April 15, said the matter was too important to rush.

“A trial is a marathon. You want me to go from Step 3 to Step 26 and not touch all the bases in between,” Brady said. “I can’t do that.”

McCullough, 76, waived his right to be in court Friday, and instead allowed Fuentes and Van Horn to appear in his place. Despite Brady’s ruling early that releasing McCullough on Friday would be premature, the attorneys continued with multiple pleadings that their client at least be granted bond for the remainder of his case.

“I thought a lot about faith on the way here and on the faith all of us place in the criminal justice system, in our courts, in our police and our prosecutors, and our defense attorneys,” Fuentes said. “It is a fundamental faith that the system is going to get it right – and, judge, that didn’t happen here.”

After a series of fervent requests from McCullough’s attorneys to set the man free based on DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack’s finding last week that he was innocent, Brady maintained he needed more time to consider the case’s history in its entirety, not just McCullough’s recent motions.

Chicago lawyers Gabriel Fuentes (left) and Shaun Van Horn, of Jenner & Block, go over files before court Friday after they filed a motion Thursday requesting DeKalb County Judge William Brady vacate their client Jack McCullough’s murder conviction or release him on bond. Brady denied both motions, and McCullough will appear in court April 15.

“I have some obligation to make sure I understand the position of both parties,” Brady said. “I don’t just have your opinion or your client’s opinion, and the state’s opinion. I also have the opinion of a trial judge and an appellate court. I think it’s premature for me to start commenting on what I think about any of that.”

McCullough was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2012. His murder conviction was upheld by the 2nd District Appellate Court in 2015.

Schmack rejected one of the key findings of both the trial court and appellate court – that police reports from the time when Maria was abducted should have been excluded from the trial.

Schmack agreed with McCullough that the reports prove his alibi, which place him in Rockford at the time of the kidnapping. According to the time-

line established by police reports from 1957 and 1958, Maria was kidnapped between 6:45 and 6:55 p.m., and recently unearthed records from Illinois Bell show that McCullough – who at the time was 18 and known as John Tessier – made a call from the downtown Rockford post office at 6:57 p.m. that day, Schmack said.

In a detailed response to McCullough’s handwritten request for release, Schmack alleges his predecessor as state’s attorney, Clay Campbell, and police investigators had worked to hide the truth from judges and grand juries by knowingly introducing false testimony and withholding evidence they knew would exonerate McCullough.

Campbell was present in court Friday, but he has declined to comment on the latest developments in the case. He has said before that he hoped Schmack would defend the conviction.

Why you should have your A/C Unit cleaned & inspected Too many homeowners believe that if the A/C works, then you don’t have to do anything. Unfortunately, that could be a costly decision.

Regular preventative maintenance will maximize efficiency and minimize potential problems if caught early. The following list represents some of the most common problems that we encounter: Damaged Wiring - Mice and bugs nest in condensers and sometimes will chew through the wires. Earwigs frequently nest in a contactor which prevents the unit from starting.

Low Refrigerant - This can increase energy consumption because the unit has to run longer or it may not cool properly if the level is too low. Sometimes leaks are very difficult to find but every attempt should be made to fix it.

Condenser is Dead - Could be thermostat, breaker or a wiring problem. Any of these issues are easily found and fixed during an inspection.

Frozen Coil - Usually indicative of a lack of air flow. This can be due to a dirty filter, coil or defective blower. A low refrigerant level can also cause a frozen coil.

By having your A/C system inspected in the preseason, any issues found will be fixed and your system will be ready for summer.

Jim Wiseman, Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association executive director

• NISRA

Continued from page A3

• Saturday, April 2, 2016

One participant who’s been with the organization long enough to see some of its changes is 32-year-old McHenry resident Gina Lofgren.

Her father, Greg Lofgren, said their family remembers when the NISRA office was rented space in a small strip mall off Route 176. Today, NISRA owns its building at 285 Memorial Drive, Crystal Lake.

With the renovation of the office space at Memorial Drive in 2012, NISRA has been able to host programs in its own facilities, which include a kitchen, music room, computer room and a community room.

Gina Lofgren has taken advantage of almost all of the facilities and programs NISRA has to offer for the past 24 years she’s been involved, participating in art and film classes, and winning about 100 Special Olympics medals in sports ranging from bocce ball to basketball and swimming.

“All against what the doctors told us she would be,” said her mother, Pat Lofgren.

Pat Lofgren said her daughter, in addition to her developmental disabilities, also wasn’t expected to ever be able to ride a bicycle because her muscle development was poor. Her parents said through their determination, the support of teachers in the Special Education District of McHenry County and their daughter’s participation in NISRA, she’s developed far beyond what they ever imagined.

“I think it gives her some importance in her life, other than just sitting around the house,” Greg Lofgren said of NISRA. Gina Lofgren agreed. She said without NISRA, she would be moping around the house, and not have developed as many social skills, either.

“It relaxes me,” Gina Lofgren said.

“And I enjoy it. And it’s very fortunate that I still have all these activities to do and to make a lot of friends.”

Parents also benefit from NISRA’s activities. Ron and Pat Jacoby, whose 27-year-old son Matt Jacoby is a NISRA participant, said the association provides them with a network of parents to have discussions about everything from wills to Social Security for their special needs children.

“There’s no book that tells you, start here, so you just find out,” Pat Jacoby said.

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

... What we especially see with the young adult population is they have less access to either work or play, so it’s very important for NISRA we fill that void.

BELOW: Eve Erita (left) of Crystal Lake, Gina Lofgren of McHenry and Ryan Smith of McHenry stretch before bocce practice.

About NISRA About 1,900 participants are involved with Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association yearly – compared with about 120 campers who started in NISRA’s first summer day camps in 1977.

Matt Jacoby, like Gina Lofgren, also mentioned the friends he’s made through NISRA multiple times, and said aside from sports, he’s also gone on some of NISRA’s overnight trips to places such as Major League Baseball spring training in Arizona and a

Rockford IceHogs hockey game.

“I think just the biggest thing is NISRA is constantly trying to improve and expand their program to meet the needs of more and more people all the time,” Ron Jacoby said.

Dana Seehafer, NISRA senior

manager of operations, has been working with the association for 21 years and said the organization has had to grow as the needs of the community grow.

Seehafer said what motivates her to keep NISRA growing is the desire to provide the same opportunities for people with special needs as everyone else in the community.

NISRA will continue to grow in coming years, Wiseman said, by asking, “How do we continually find ways to create more access?” and sticking to its mission of enriching the lives of people through meaningful recreation experiences.

19 Colleen McDonough, a first-grade teacher at Walt Disney Magnet School in Chicago, holds a picket sign outside the school Friday during a one-day strike by Chicago teachers and supporters aimed at halting education funding cuts.

By SARA BURNETT and JASON KEYSER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chicago teachers took to picket lines Friday in a one-day strike they said was aimed at getting lawmakers to adequately fund schools in the nation’s third-largest district.

The walkout closed schools for nearly 400,000 students, who had the option of spending the day at “contingency sites” Chicago Public Schools opened at churches, libraries and school buildings.

Among those picketing outside Oscar DePriest Elementary School was special education teacher Brian Orlinsky, who said he hopes the walkout will be a wake-up call for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and other lawmakers.

“There’s not enough textbooks,” the Spencer Technology Elementary School teacher said. “There’s not enough technology that’s up to date and that’s working.”

Friday’s actions also could foreshadow a longer strike over a new labor contract, which by law can’t occur for several weeks.

Illinois license plate late fees near $5M without reminders

SPRINGFIELD – Thanks to the cash-strapped state’s decision to stop mailing renewal reminders, Illinois motorists have paid nearly $5 million this year for failing to renew vehicle license plates on time, more than double the amount collected in the same three-month span last year.

Fines reached $1.9 million in March alone, according to the latest figures provided Friday to The Associated Press by the secretary of state’s office. In March 2015, the state collected just more than $818,000 in fines.

The agency stopped mailing renewal reminders in October to save an estimated $450,000 a month on postage during

AP photo

The Chicago Teachers Union last went on strike in 2012, shutting down schools for more than a week before reaching an agreement with Emanuel.

That contract expired in June, and the negotiations for a new one have been going on for more than a year.

Tiffany Stockdale, whose two children attend CPS, said she agrees with the teachers even if closing the schools is an inconvenience. She said the strike seemed like the only way to get people

the state’s budget stalemate.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic lawmakers who control the Legislature have been locked in a budget fight that has left many state agencies scrambling to pay bills since July 1.

A group of state lawmakers want fines suspended until reminders can be mailed again, but legislation to do that is moving slowly through the legislative process.

The secretary of state’s office has said it supports legislation to suspend the fines, but in the meantime has urged motorists to be mindful of their plate expiration date and to sign up online for electronic reminders.

So far this year, 247,913 motorists have been fined $20 each.

Last year during the first three months, 111,200 had been fined.

Late penalties cost Illinois more than $900M in six years

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois has spent more than $900 million on late-payment penalties over

in power to listen.

“This is what the teachers have to do, and I think the parents – whether it’s hard, whether it’s easy – they should support this,” Stockdale said. “If they have to be out longer, so be it.”

Emanuel said he agrees more money is needed for schools, and particularly for districts such as Chicago’s that serve poor students. He urged the union to join him and CPS in lobbying the Legislature rather than closing down

the past six years because of the state’s inability to pay its bills on time, according to figures from Comptroller Leslie Munger’s office.

About $160 million was paid out in Fiscal 2014. That’s the same amount that Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to remove from dedicated state funds to help the state’s universities through the rest of the current fiscal year, The State Journal-Register reported.

The figures from Munger’s office don’t include any outlays for the current fiscal year, in which the state has been operating without a budget since July 1.

Laurence Msall, president of a tax policy and government research organization called the Civic Federation, believes the penalties are wasted money because it doesn’t serve the state or help it deliver services more efficiently.

“There is no justification for operation of our government with such fiscal irresponsibility,” he said. “It’s not beneficial to the vendors who have to

schools, noting many students depend on CPS for meals and other help.

“Our kids are paying a price that I don’t think is right,” Emanuel said.

CPS, which faces a $1.1 billion budget deficit and billions more in pension debt, already has halted salary increases, imposed three furlough days and made other cuts to schools. It reached an agreement earlier this year with union leadership on a proposal that included salary increases. But a larger union bargaining team rejected it, partly because it required employees to contribute more toward their pensions and health insurance.

The union and its allies said the only way to get a fair contract and improve struggling schools is to pressure lawmakers to OK new revenue, either through a tax increase or other changes.

Illinois entered its 10th month without a state budget on Friday.

Schools CEO Forrest Claypool said teachers who were on strike wouldn’t be paid for the day. He also said the district filed a complaint Friday with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board seeking to block the union from another “illegal strike.”

Northwestern doctor appointed to review Hastert health

CHICAGO – A judge overseeing Dennis Hastert’s hush-money case has appointed a Northwestern University doctor to review the former U.S. House speaker’s medical records.

U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin said in a filing Thursday that Dr. Robert S. Golden would conduct the review, which was ordered last month after Hastert’s sentencing was delayed because his lawyers said he had nearly died and remained in poor health. Hastert now is to be sentenced April 27.

Durkin’s filing says Golden’s practice is affiliated with Northwestern Memorial Hospital and that he is board-certified in internal medicine. He also is an assistant professor at Northwestern’s medical school.

Doctor charged with helping skip part of citizenship tests

CHICAGO – A Chicago doctor is accused of diagnosing patients with physical or mental conditions to bypass parts of the testing required for U.S. citizenship.

The U.S. Justice Department said 59-year-old Dr. Jasminka Kostic and a member of her staff, 47-year-old Nikki Pozdol, are charged each with one count of knowingly making false statements in a document submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Kostic also is charged with one count of attempted unlawful procurement of citizenship or naturalization. Both charges are punishable by a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

An arraignment date is scheduled for April 13.

Police and rescue officials mingle with bus patrons Thursday outside the Greyhound Bus Station in Richmond, Va., after an Illinois man shot a state trooper before being killed by other state troopers.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Obama, leaders urge more An Associated Press crew action on nuclear security visiting the town Friday saw WASHINGTON – World leaders declared progress Friday in safeguarding nuclear materials sought by terrorists and wayward nations, even as President Barack Obama acknowledged the task was far from finished.

Closing out a nuclear security summit, Obama warned of a persistent and harrowing threat: terrorists getting their hands on a nuclear bomb. He urged fellow leaders not to be complacent about the risk of catastrophe, saying that such an attack by the Islamic State or a similar group would “change our world.”

Despite their calls for further action, the roughly 50 leaders assembled announced that this year’s gathering would be the last of this kind. This year, deep concerns about terrorism were the commanding focus, as leaders grappled with the notion that the next Paris or Brussels could involve an attack with a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb.

the destruction inflicted by the extremist group on the town’s famed archaeological site, less than a mile away from the modern-day town of the same name, now completely deserted.

While some parts of the site, including the Roman-era grand colonnades and amphitheater appeared relatively untouched, the damage was very much visible elsewhere.

The Arch of Triumph, built under the Roman emperor Septimius Severus between A.D. 193 and A.D. 211, has been reduced to a pile of stones, blown up by IS extremists.

Ex-girlfriend says bus station gunman hated police officers

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and ALAN SUDERMAN The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. – An ex-girlfriend of the gunman at a Virginia bus station said Friday he frequently expressed his hatred toward police and once nearly choked her to death after she broke up with him.

James Brown III of Aurora, Illinois, was killed Thursday by two Virginia state troopers after authorities said he fatally shot Trooper Chad P. Dermyer at a Richmond Greyhound station.

Brown, 34, who had a lengthy criminal record, previously said he would rather die fighting police than return to prison, the ex-girlfriend said.

“He wanted to be one of those guys that just died killing police officers because they are not taking him back to jail,” she said.

She spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because she said she fears for her safety.

Authorities said Friday they’re still trying to piece together what exactly happened at the busy bus terminal and what Brown’s motive was.

Dermyer had been partici-

pating in a counterterrorism training exercise at the bus station with about a dozen other troopers, special agents and supervisors when he was shot. Two women also were shot, but they were expected to recover.

State Police Superintendent Col. Steven Flaherty said surveillance footage from the bus station helped authorities pull together what happened moments before the shooting.

Brown, at the terminal for a stop on his way to Chicago, was seated in a restaurant. He walked toward his bags near the front entrance of the station and encountered Dermyer, who may have made some small talk, and Brown pulled a handgun and started firing.

Flaherty said the gun was legally purchased more than a year ago, but not by Brown.

He had more than 140 rounds with him.

Brown had an extensive criminal record in his home state, including charges of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and body armor as a felon and threatening to kill someone by phone. He often pleaded guilty to lesser charges or a single charge after being charged with several crimes.

Brown’s most recent con-

viction there was from 2012, when he pleaded guilty to domestic battery and aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and was sentenced to 2½ years in prison.

The names of the women wounded Thursday haven’t been released, but a spokesman for Binghamton University in New York said one of them was a member of the school’s track team. The team was headed Thursday to a meet at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, about 50 miles from Richmond.

The Binghamton student was released from the hospital Friday, spokesman Ryan Yarosh said.

The police identified the student as a 21-year-old woman from Wingdale, New York.

The other woman hurt was a 47-year-old from Jacksonville, North Carolina, who also was passing through. Her injuries were not life-threatening.

The slain trooper is survived by his wife and two children. He was a former Marine who previously served on police forces in Jackson, Michigan, and Newport News, Virginia.

Friends and family fondly recalled Dermyer as a devoted family man and consummate professional.

A man looks Friday at a memorial site for the victims of the Brussels attacks at the Place de la Bourse in Brussels, Belgium. The Brussels city archive Friday started collecting messages and drawings to protect and preserve them. “the capital of Europe.”

One cause for the drop in business, Bontinck said, is the suspension of the 600 daily passenger flights to and from the Brussels Airport, transporting more than 1.5 million passengers in February. But he said there has also been an overall “decline in image” for Belgium’s capital, a popular destination for lovers of beer, chocolate and Flemish art and architecture. The city has been identified in countless international media accounts as a hotbed of Islamic radicalism.

Brussels may not be the only cap-

ital to be suffering economic consequences from the bloodiest explosion of extremist violence in Belgium since World War II. Bontinck said figures received by his office indicated hotel reservations over the same period dropped 35 percent in Paris, 38 percent in Berlin and 29 percent in London.

“The impact is general,” he said.

TUI Belgium, one of Belgium’s biggest tour operators, said the attacks came at a tough time for the industry: just days before the two-week Easter school vacation.

The company said that it only can-

$15 minimum-wage movement sets sights on more states The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – California and New York – where almost 1 in 5 Americans live – are on their way to raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour, and the activists who spearheaded those efforts are now setting their sights on other similarly liberal, Democratic-led states.

Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington are among the states with active “Fight for $15” efforts, and even economic experts who oppose the increased rate see it gaining momentum.

“There is lots of pressure to do this,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Congressional Budget Office director who is now president of the conservative American Action Forum, which said big minimum-wage increases cost jobs.

The idea faces headwinds in more conservative and rural states in the South and the Midwest. But activists believe the movement is picking up steam, even if their two big victories so far were achieved in two highly receptive places: trend-setting, liberal, labor-friendly states with a high cost of living and yawning gaps between rich and poor, especially in New York City and Silicon Valley.

“In the beginning, it looked impossible,” said Alvin Major, a fast-food worker and leader of the Fight for $15 campaign. But now, “what happened in New York, in California, it’s going to spread around the country.”

Since the $15-an-hour movement planted roots with a 2012 New York City fast food workers strike, it has gained ground amid the broader debate over income inequality. Cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco

recently have agreed to go to $15 in the coming years, and Oregon’s minimum wage is headed to $14.75 in Portland.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders has been pushing for a $15-an-hour standard nationally, while President Barack Obama has called more generally for raising the minimum wage. The federal minimum is currently $7.25; 29 states and Washington, D.C., have set theirs higher.

Sanders’ primary opponent and a former New York senator, Hillary Clinton, has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12. Her campaign website says she also believes “we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and by workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 ...”

New York and California are now on track to have the highest. California

Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is set Monday to sign a measure boosting the current $10 rate to $15 by 2022.

In New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have agreed on a more complex plan.

The $9 minimum would gradually rise to $15 in New York City by the end of 2018 and then in some prosperous suburbs by the end of 2021, but only to $12.50 in 2020 in the rest of the state, with further increases to $15 tied to inflation and other economic indicators.

The measure headed to Cuomo’s desk after passing the Legislature on Friday.

New York’s graduated approach stemmed from negotiations with Republicans who worried such a sharp increase would devastate businesses, particularly in the more fragile economy outside the New York metropolitan area.

BRUSSELS – Struck by suicide bombers 10 days ago, the airport known as “the heart of Europe” has stopped beating temporarily, causing headaches for thousands of business and vacation travelers, and painful financial losses for Belgium’s capital and tourism industry.

It’s still unclear when Brussels Airport will reopen. But a key hurdle appeared to have been cleared Friday evening when police unions, which had threatened a strike, reached a preliminary deal with government negotiators on how to bolster security to minimize more violence. The agreement, which must be formally approved by both sides, calls in part for hiring 200 additional airport police officers, said Stephane Deldicque, an official with the CSC Public Service Union.

A Belgian government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements, told The Associated Press things now appeared on track for passenger service to resume at a reduced level Sunday morning.

Patrick Bontinck, general manager of Visit Brussels, the official municipal tourist organization, said hotel reservations have dropped by half since the March 22 attacks at the airport and the Brussels Metro, meaning a loss of 8,000 to 10,000 visitors a day to the city that is home to the headquarters of the European Union and U.S.led NATO alliance, and styles itself as

celed one flight from Brussels Airport, on the same day two suicide bombers struck the departure hall, killing 16 people. A separate suicide bomber in a Metro train killed another 16 people.

TUI spokeswoman Florence Bruyere said a convoy of buses was quickly put in place, running travelers to and from Brussels to another airport on the North Sea coast at Ostend.

“We were all shocked and shaken by the attacks, but life continues. Family holidays are really important,” she said. “People have made plans, they’ve made reservations, and they really want to head off on vacation.”

According to Eurocontrol, the European agency for air traffic control, since the suspension of passenger service, some airlines, like TUI, have been using smaller airports in Belgium, including at Liege, Charleroi and Antwerp, while other carriers are shuttling passengers to and from Brussels by bus from major European air hubs like Frankfurt.

But many travelers have been inconvenienced. Three groups of 17 students and three adult chaperones from Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee, on spring study programs were supposed to rendezvous in Brussels the day of the bombings. Instead, the group flying in from Athens was diverted to Duesseldorf, Germany, their colleagues in Spain had to wait a day and fly to Frankfurt, and students who expected to travel to Brussels by train from London had to go to Frankfurt by jet as well.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Friday during a roundtable discussion on manufacturing in Syracuse, N.Y.

Clinton digs into past ahead of N.Y. primary

By LISA LERER

The Associated Press SYRACUSE, N.Y. – There was the old story about Corning, New York, and the diesel buses. The one about the “soap lady” who built her business online with help from Hillary Clinton’s Senate office. And don’t forget about the wine ice cream, discovered by the former New York senator and now sold across the globe.

Most campaigns focus on the future.

But when Clinton kicked off her effort to win over upstate New York, her sights were set squarely on the past.

On Friday, she set off on a nostalgia-fused tour of her greatest economic hits, part of an effort by her campaign to highlight her congressional record as she prepares for a drag-out fight in her home state against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“When I think about the great honor I had of representing New York for eight years in the Senate, I want to put all that experience, all that work, on behalf of New York and America,” Clinton told cheering supporters gathered in a Syracuse warehouse.

“This is really personal for me. You all took a chance on me back in 2000 and that meant the world to me,” she said.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will hold a series of events in upstate New York in the coming weeks, said campaign aides, designed to boost support among rural

and working-class voters, groups that have favored Sanders in previous primary contests. On Friday, she unveiled a $10 billion manufacturing proposal centered on using federal funding to create “Make it in America Partnerships.” Businesses participating in the program would pledge not to outsource jobs or move their headquarters abroad to avoid paying U.S. taxes.

The new federal spending would be paid for with tax revenue from a “clawback” tax on companies that outsource jobs or facilities abroad, an idea Clinton proposed in March.

But even as she rolled out her new policy, Clinton seemed to delight in discussing the past. Joined by a top staffer from her Senate office, she reminisced about projects such as helping to pair New York wine-makers with ice cream producers to create wine ice cream.

And she was happy to take suggestions from her old friends, including soliciting a Hollywood remake of the 1980s movie Flashdance to make manufacturing “sexy.”

“Gotta make it sexy, I agree with that,” Clinton said. “We’ve got to lift up those jobs and have some TV shows about them.”

While a loss in New York would not significantly winnow her advantage among the delegates who determine the nomination, it would be a major psychological blow to her supporters and raise questions about the level of enthusiasm within her own party for her bid.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Recognizing Borinqueneer The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To Fox River Grove’s Walter McCostlin being awarded the Congressional Gold Medal on April 13 in Washington, D.C. A member of the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, in the Korean War, McCostlin was the only white kid in the all-Puerto Rican unit. Their contributions are being recognized as the government and military in recent years have moved to give proper honors to soldiers and units who were denied them because of prejudice.

Thumbs up: To McHenry County College for starting a three-year project to create a series of courses to help veterans transition into civilian life. A federal grant of $100,000 allowed for this project, and with the number of veterans returning to attend college increasing in recent years, this looks like a good project to help out.

Thumbs up: To Pioneer Center’s seventh annual SleepOut for Shelter fundraiser May 14 at the Church of Holy Apostles in McHenry to benefit the programs that serve the area’s homeless population. In 2015, nearly 300 people sought services from McHenry County PADS, with 117 people staying in emergency sleeping beds or transitional living facilities. The program runs on $700,000 a year, $500,000 of which is brought in through fundraisers.

Political prisoners should not be bargaining chips

By KHADIJA ISMAYILOVA

Special to The Washington Post I am writing this letter from jail in Baku, Azerbaijan, where I’m serving a 7½-year sentence for a crime I never committed.

I am a journalist and my only “crime” was to investigate high-level corruption within the government and family of Azeri President Ilham Aliyev. Aliyev inherited power from his father in 2003 and changed the constitution in 2009 so he could stay in power indefinitely. He has been called an enemy of the press by international watchdogs, while abusing other fundamental freedoms and violating people’s right to truth and

decency.

Aliyev is in Washington, D.C., this week to attend the Nuclear Security Summit that began Thursday. To get an invitation to this event from President Barack Obama, he had to pardon several political prisoners. Although they have been released from jail, they remain confined within the country, barred from leaving, and justice has not been restored.

This is a very costly invitation for Aliyev, who for years refused to accept international pressure or criticism on this issue. His response was, always, that Azerbaijan doesn’t have political prisoners. In December, U.S. Rep. Christopher H. Smith, R-New Jersey, introduced the Azerbaijan

Democracy Act to recognize Azerbaijan’s violations of human rights and freedoms and to hold individual officials accountable. It must pass.

But why were some of the political prisoners suddenly set free? What has changed?

Aliyev needed these prisoners so that in exchange for their release, he could shake hands with Obama or get a loan from the World Bank to finance his failing currency and crippled economy after the sudden fall of oil prices.

Aliyev is shamelessly trying to use political prisoners as bargaining chips to advance his foreign policy agenda. And they are supposed to be happy that they were freed.

So President Obama, please ask President Aliyev to stop muzzling the independent media and civil society.

Ask him to explain the billions of petrodollars wasted on white-elephant projects for the benefit of a few. Ask him when he is going to hold free and fair elections. Ask him when he is going to let all the political prisoners go free. Ask him when fundamental freedoms can become a right, in practice – not a gift that he can give or take away.

I asked these questions, and I ended up in jail.

These are important questions.

They must not go unanswered. And we will fight until justice is fully served.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Consider GIVE 360

To The Editor: Last year, the McHenry County Community Foundation initiated the GIVE 360 annual campaign.

The concept was to seek community-minded individuals or families that would pledge a donation of $360 to the ongoing fund that then would be combined with all the other participants to create the potential for a strong impact for organizations in our own county.

Half of all the money collected would be distributed in the given year to those organizations the members had voted on – the remaining half would be invested in an ongoing endowment fund that would grow for future distributions.

The first year of this campaign was a

VIEWS Margaret Carlson much to say about Washington being broken, but he failed to mention Cruz largely was responsible for breaking it, forcing senseless government shutdowns, spouting nonsense during his preening filibusters, and adding significantly to the bitter enmity on Capitol Hill – and that’s on his side of the aisle. Trump’s sobriquet of “Lyin’ Ted” doesn’t sound all that outlandish to many of those who tried to work with the Texas senator on Capitol Hill.

Cruz’s conduct worked to make him famous but, until panic set in, no one thought it would work to make him the nominee, much less president. The trend so far when someone gets out is that many of those votes go to Trump. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows that were Kasich to drop out today, more than half of his vote would go to the front-runner.

Although Kasich is being hammered for continuing to exist, he has a good case for staying in: He governs Ohio, which no Republican has won the White House without, was re-elected there with record numbers, and has high approval ratings for turning the deficit into a surplus and bringing 400,000 jobs to the state. He’s pro-life and a fiscal conservative. He over-hugs but has kept out of the mud pit. He wins in every matchup with Clinton, while Trump and Cruz lose by double digits.

great start, with 91 individuals contributing just more than $30,000 and a total of $15,000 awarded to three local organizations: Adult & Child Therapy Services, CASA of McHenry County and Family Health Partnership Clinic.

This year, we are looking to gain even more members with the hope of having a greater impact on philanthropy in McHenry County. Please consider this program, and for additional information, you can visit www.mccfdn.org/give-360.

To the Editor: Regarding page 18 in Thursday’s North-

Therefore, he has to go. National Review’s Jeremy Carl writes: “It is long past time to throw Kasich’s campaign into the ash heap of history.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham took a more reasonable approach, objecting that Kasich is an insider in an outsider year. Graham, who once quipped “If you killed Ted Cruz in the Senate and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you,” recently endorsed him for the nomination.

On “The Daily Show” last week, he struggled to explain his sudden change of heart: “I don’t dislike Ted. Ted and I have a lot of differences.

He’s my 15th choice. What can I say?

He’s not completely crazy.”

The New York Times piled on Kasich with a headline about his nastiness, which hardly was justified by the reporting. Since leaving Congress, where he lived the Reagan dream by ramming through a balanced budget, he’s mellowed. He’s gotten married, had twin girls, become an evangelical Christian and made peace with his parents being killed by a drunken driver. He has a favorability rating of about 70 percent in his home state, where he won re-election with 64 percent of the vote.

But he bugs the Republican base. He isn’t going to deport grandmothers. He seems squishy on trade, although he’s brought back Ohio despite NAFTA. He took Medicaid expansion dollars as part of Obamacare and justified that decision by saying he worried about accounting to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates had he not made sure the poorest were covered.

Nonetheless, he never waves around

a Bible like Cruz and Trump. He may sound too much like a compassionate conservative, but a short time ago that was the kind the Republicans claimed to want. In short, he’s electable in the fall. Some Republicans hate that.

The ideal would be a two-front war against Trump. Had Cruz not insisted he was out to win Florida when he had no chance, Sen. Marco Rubio might have taken the state’s 99 delegates. In Utah, where Cruz had a chance, the more mature Kasich stood down and it worked. Cruz’s win denied Trump any delegates.

And in Ohio, with Cruz and Rubio still in, Kasich won decisively, keeping 66 delegates from Trump. Looking forward to northeastern states, Cruz is not going to win moderate conservatives, see the polls above. In Pennsylvania, a Franklin and Marshall survey showed Kasich statistically even with Trump, and Cruz a distant third.

To stop Trump, Cruz has to stay out.

What Republicans want – other than the 30 percent voting for Trump – is not a Cruz win but a brokered convention. There are fewer winnertake-all states remaining, and there’s no saying Cruz could win those in a one-on-one matchup against Trump.

In moderate states coming up – and where delegates are allocated – to deny Trump his 1,237 delegates, the party has to reverse its mantra: A vote for Cruz is a vote for Trump.

Step right up, folks, to the Ted Cruz-John Kasich game. The aim is to push out the candidate who could win in November in favor of the one who can’t.

Everything else has failed to stop Donald Trump, but the Republicans’ strategy of putting their few remaining eggs in Sen. Cruz’s basket and insulting Gov. Kasich back to the Ohio statehouse is delusional – as is their assertion that a vote for Kasich is a vote for Trump.

Let’s take a look: It’s hard to believe any John politician could be doKasich ing worse than Hillary Clinton, who had a net unfavorable rating of minus-13 in a March Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, but Cruz, at minus-18, manages it. Kasich has a net positive-19. Every poll shows Cruz losing to Clinton. As for the nomination, the proposition Cruz alone could stop Trump is wrong to anyone who reads exit polls, studies current ones or looks at the map.

What’s more, Cruz is the most universally disrespected politician in the Republican Party, which he wears as a badge of honor. And Cruz doesn’t have Trump’s positives, if you can say such a thing about celebrity, a fake everyman persona, disdain, shared by his followers, for policy, and a knack for memorable slogans.

Cruz is a careerist who took the outsider route when his persistent efforts to ingratiate himself with insiders failed.

In endorsing him, Jeb Bush had

Steady hiring spurs more job hunts Analysts see uptick in jobless rate as ‘vote of confidence’ in economy’s health

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. employers shrugged off signs of weak growth and extended their long stretch of steady hiring in March, adding 215,000 jobs.

The unemployment rate ticked up – to 5 percent from 4.9 percent in February – but mostly for a good reason: More Americans came off the sidelines to look for work, although not all found jobs.

That is the fifth time in the past six months the proportion of Americans working or looking for work has increased, an encouraging trend after that figure fell to four-decade lows last year.

Many Americans, discouraged by a lack of available jobs, had given on their job hunts since the recession, while others stayed home to take care of family members. Many baby boomers also have been retiring.

“This is a vote of confidence on the part of workers regarding the health of the U.S. economy,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS. The data suggests that employers remain confident enough in their business prospects to add staff, even as overall growth has slowed since last winter.

Many analysts estimate that the economy grew at a 1 percent annual rate or below in the first quarter. Continuing job gains indicate that employers may see the slowdown as temporary.

The proportion of Americans with jobs rose to 59.9 percent, the fifth straight increase and highest level since March 2009 during the depths of the Great Recession.

Still, that figure remains far below its pre-recession level of 62.7 percent.

Kevin Wilson, CEO of Buzz Franchise Brands, said the growing economy is helping him expand. He plans to add eight more employees to his headquarters staff of 22 by the end of this year.

The company operates Mosquito Joe, a pest-control provider, and Pool Scouts, which provides pool-cleaning services.

Wilson expects to hire more workers at the existing 113 Mosquito Joe franchises and open 58 new ones. Those steps should create about 450 new jobs.

Wilson said both franchises are ben-

U.S. employers notched another solid month of hiring in March by adding 215,000 jobs, driven by large gains in the construction, retail and health care industries. Despite the jump, the Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate ticked up to 5 percent from 4.9 percent.

efiting from retirements by wealthier baby boomers.

“With this aging population, a lot of these home services they are going to want to find people to do it for them,” he said.

Investors were initially unimpressed by the jobs figures, but stocks picked up in midday trading. The Dow Jones industrial average increased 27 points to 17,712.

Steady hiring also is contributing to somewhat higher pay. Average hourly wages rose 2.3 percent from a year earlier to $25.43. Annual wage gains have improved since the early years of the recovery, but they are below a peak of 2.6 percent reached in December.

Sluggish wage growth has been a weak spot in the economy and a source of frustration for many workers since the Great Recession ended in 2009. Paychecks typically grow at a 3.5 percent pace in a strong economy.

That frustration has spilled over into widespread demands for a higher minimum wage. California approved a measure this week to lift its minimum to $15 an hour by 2020, more than double the

current federal minimum of $7.25. New York lawmakers have also approved a $15 minimum that will phase in over many years.

Heavy hiring by low-wage employers is likely one driver behind the demands for greater pay. Retailers added 47,700 jobs last month and have created 358,000 in the past year. Hotels and restaurants gained 26,000 jobs in March.

That hiring has been offset by some higher-paying positions, including in construction, financial services, and professional and business services, which include engineers, accountants and architects.

Manufacturing, hit by slower growth overseas, posted another month of job losses. Mining, which includes the oil and gas drilling sector, also cut jobs. Low oil prices have cost the industry 185,000 jobs since September 2014.

With more Americans flooding into the workforce, employers likely have more people to choose from when filling jobs. That takes the pressure of them to offer sharply higher wages.

Greater hiring can help fuel consumer spending, which is a critical source of growth this year. Other potential drivers of the economy, such as exports and business investment, have weakened.

Yet consumer spending has faltered since last winter after healthy gains in 2015. Spending ticked up just 0.1 percent in February for the third month in a row.

That tepid trend caused many economists to slash their growth estimates for the first quarter.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – U.S. manufacturers expanded in March, ending a five-month streak of declining factory activity.

The Institute for Supply Management said Friday its manufacturing index rose to 51.8 last month from 49.5 in February.

Any reading above 50 signals growth.

The increase suggests U.S. factories are adapting to the turmoil abroad, where a stronger dollar and weakening economies in China, Japan and elsewhere have hurt sales. But the details of the survey-based report were somewhat uneven.

New orders and production improved, but the measure of employment at manufacturers contracted in a sign that factories are letting workers go.

“Manufacturing activity is stabilizing,” said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at the forecaster, MFR. Still, Shapiro noted “dollar strength and weak growth in many important international markets are going to continue to weigh on U.S. producers, and we expect the recovery in the manufacturing sector in the months ahead to be a muted one.”

The setback in employment meshed

with the government jobs report released separately Friday, which showed that manufacturers shed 29,000 workers in March and 18,000 in February, in an otherwise healthy job market anchored by improving demand for homes, health care and meals at restaurants.

Of the 18 industries in the ISM report, a dozen reported growth. Factories in primary metals, food, electronics and plastics and rubber products, among others,

viewed conditions as improving.

Other manufacturing indicators have created a hazy outlook for the sector.

U.S. manufacturing output rose 0.5 percent in January, as auto, furniture and food production advanced, the Federal Reserve reported earlier this month.

But the Commerce Department found in a separate report a stiff 2.8 percent decline during February in orders for long-lasting, durable goods.

McHenry County ahead in economic development The Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that conducts independent research and makes policy recommendations, recently released five action principles in a report called the “Remaking of Economic Development.”

Recommendations included: • Set the right goals. Make a holistic approach to expand the economy and opportunity.

• Grow from within. Prioritize established and emerging firms and industries. Invest in innovative ecosystems, trade, talent, infrastructure and governance to support globally competitive firms and help small business.

• Boost trade. Facilitate export growth and trade with other markets, deepen regional industry specializations, and attract new income and investment • Invest in people and skills. Human capital and increasing capabilities result in meaningful work and income gains.

• Connect place. Catalyze economic place making and work, connect local communities to regional jobs, housing and opportunity.

What creates excitement and pride for me is the fact that the McHenry County Economic Development Corp., our county employers and local partners have been executing these principles for years. MCEDC is a one-stop shop that provides resources, research and consulting to help businesses grow.

MCEDC created a business retention and expansion committee 25 years ago

VIEWS Pam Cumpata with volunteers from our business visitation program. We still do these visits and meet with companies to determine needs, connect them with resources and provide troubleshooting.

We prioritize work that connects the workforce of today and tomorrow. Our business ambassador program in the early 2000s allowed volunteers to meet with high school classes. We did a welding bootcamp with McHenry County College in 2007 and later helped the college start a robust manufacturing curriculum.

Ten years ago, MCEDC saw the need to expose our young people to opportunities. We launched “Careers in our County” and in the first year, allowed more than 3,000 high school students to meet with 30 county employers. Now, MCC and many high schools are doing these type of events themselves.

In 2012, many county manufacturers financially supported more than 800 high school students, so they could attend the International Manufacturing Technology Show. Manufacturers did it again in 2014 for 1,200 high school students.

Ask any educator and student who attended the shows how impressed the students were with the machines and processes, and how the shows helped

them understand manufacturing and potential careers.

Who led the way on infrastructure investment many years ago? MCEDC has been a loud voice on transportation projects, such as the Algonquin Bypass, through Road Warriors and Road Kill Lunches with our legislators in Springfield.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 2016

LOS ANGELES – Three contestants are left to vie for the last “American Idol” crown.

Trent Harmon, of Amory, Mississippi; Dalton Rapattoni of Dallas; and La’Porsha Renae of McComb, Mississippi, were announced Thursday as the contenders.

MacKenzie Bourg of Lafayette, Louisiana, was eliminated from Fox TV’s singing contest after receiving the lowest number of viewer votes among the final four.

“American Idol” is ending its run next week after 15 seasons. The two-part finale,

Moderator Megyn Kelly waits for the start of the Republican presidential primary debate Jan. 28 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Fox’s Megyn Kelly: O’Reilly, CNN should have done more for me NEW YORK – Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly is taking notes on who she feels has been supportive when she was attacked by Donald Trump, and colleague Bill O’Reilly and CNN are both on her list.

Kelly, in an interview with Charlie Rose to air on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” this weekend, said she wished O’Reilly had done more to defend her when he interviewed Trump before a January debate that the Republican skipped because he wanted Kelly removed as a moderator. She also wishes CNN hadn’t aired portions of a Trump rally on the night of that debate.

Donald Her remarks laid bare tension between Fox’s two top per- Trump sonalities. O’Reilly’s prime-time show has been the mostwatched on cable news for many years, but has been challenged recently in the ratings by Kelly, whose show airs directly after his.

The Republican presidential candidate has been badmouthing Kelly, mostly via Twitter, ever since he was taken aback by her tough question in an August debate on his comments about women.

O’Reilly asked Trump to reconsider missing the Fox debate in Iowa, but it was noted by many that he didn’t rush to defend Kelly when Trump attacked her during the interview.

Kelly called it a “dark moment” and said she would have done more to defend O’Reilly if the positions had been switched.

“I think Bill did the best he’s capable of doing in those circumstances,” Kelly said, which Rose said was “damning with faint praise.”

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Crowds thronged for tickets after a surprise announcement that Guns N’ Roses would play a concert Friday night at West Hollywood’s famed Troubadour music venue.

The band announced on its website and in a news release that a limited number of tickets at a very old-school price of $10 apiece would be available at noon at the former location of the famous Tower Records store on the Sunset Strip.

TV news helicopters showed a long line of fans stretching from the store and down the street. The band, which formed in the mid-1980s, is about to embark on a reunion tour featuring Axl Rose and Slash.

‘One Shining Moment’ gets team-specific twist

HOUSTON – “One Shining Moment” is getting a new Grammy-winning voice and some team-specific highlights at the end of the NCAA Final Four.

The song has been the backdrop for the highlight piece to wrap up NCAA Tournaments for three decades, and the version by the late Luther Vandross will continue to be used for the national broadcast on TBS. For TNT and truTV, a rendition by threetime Grammy Award winner Ne-Yo will be used after the first-ever team-specific broadcasts of the national championship game.

Ne-Yo’s performance will accompany team-centric highlights of the schools being featured in the Team Stream presentations, following their quest leading up to

Jay-Z’s Tidal preparing legal action against ex-owners

STOCKHOLM – A business controlled by rapper Jay-Z has notified the former owners of the Tidal music service of potential compensation claims, saying they overstated the number of subscribers before the sale.

Project Panther Bidco Ltd. bought Tidal’s Scandinavian parent company for $56 million a year ago. But it now says it was misled about how many people subscribed to the service, suggesting the price tag was too high.

“The total number of subscribers was well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners,” Tidal said in a statement.

The Norway-based Schibsted Media Group, the biggest of the previous owners, said “we disagree with the accusations in the letter and any potential claims.”

No joke, Kanye West’s ‘Life of Pablo’ widely available

LOS ANGELES – It’s no joke. After six weeks of streaming exclusively on Tidal, the Jay-Z-backed music service, Kanye West’s latest album, “The Life of Pablo,” was released to other streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

The wide release comes after West tweeted in February that the album “will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale.”

The tweet appeared to be deleted from West’s timeline as of Friday, and the album went on sale for $20 on West’s website.

“This Old House” is getting new ownership.

The venerable home-improvement brand – whose flagship TV series has been on the air since 1979 – has been acquired from Time Inc. by former Time Inc. exec Eric Thorkilsen in partnership with private equity firm TZP Group, the new company announced Friday.

This Old House Ventures LLC will be anchored by “This Old House” and its TV sibling, “Ask This Old House,” as well as This Old House magazine, online content, a line of books and other branded products.

Thorkilsen was named CEO of the new company. Susan Wyland, most recently an editorial consultant running her own firm, joins This Old House magazine as its new editor-in-chief.

As a fully integrated, multimedia business, This Old House Ventures LLC will manage all of its own core business functions, including original television production, digital content and operations, advertising sales, magazine editorial, brand licensing and marketing from new headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, beginning this summer, the company said.

says he never missed as a viewer, and a brand he nurtured during his three decades at Time Inc. “Long before TiVos, as a homeowner I used to plan my weekends around when ‘This Old House’ was on the air,” he told The Associated Press. “I had to see the newest episode.

“Some years later, I had the opportunity to get involved professionally with this brand that I loved so much.

We licensed the commercial rights to start extending the brand beyond the television program.” Under his stewardship in 2002, Time Inc. acquired the original series and soon thereafter created its spinoff.

The potential seemed obvious to Thorkilsen, who at Time Inc. had orchestrated the Martha Stewart Living media juggernaut. This was then a new business model – a multiplatform paradigm for extending a brand’s reach across print, TV, digital and licensing.

But long after leaving Time Inc. in 2005, and most recently while running Lifestyle Media Partners, a brand-development company, he still saw untapped opportunities for This Old House. Eventually a deal was struck with Time Inc., which, under its chairman, Joe Ripp, was busy reinventing itself after being spun off as a publicly traded company in 2014.

What hotels can teach us about home design

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – You know that feeling you get when you walk into a hotel room and you just want to fall on that big white bedspread with the fluffy pillows?

Here are some tips from three hotel brands – Renaissance, Baccarat and Loews – on how to create that same serene and inviting atmosphere at home.

Surprise and delight

Marriott opens the Renaissance NY Midtown hotel this spring in Manhattan.

Its design concept involves creating moments of “surprise and delight” in public spaces such as the lobby and dining areas, as well as in guest rooms. For example, open a closet door and inside you’ll find bold graphics livening up a space that’s usually unadorned.

Meteorologists are fond of saying “climate is what you expect while weather is what you get.”

Learning how to read clues about upcoming weather can result in a more productive garden.

“You can predict whether there will be a frost by noting the temperature and the rate it changes at dusk,” Allaby said. “You can predict whether dew will form. Calculate the atmospheric humidity, and you’ll know how likely it is to rain or snow. Watch the clouds

for approaching weather fronts and gathering storms.”

Soil and climate closely are linked, Allaby said. At the extremes, desert soils are sandy, while tundra soils are low in nutrients because vegetation is so limited.

“The more sand you have, the faster it will drain, so you might need to irrigate,” he said. “Clay retains water and is very fertile, but because it stays wet it tends to be cold in spring, so you can’t work it or plant it early in the year.

Savvy gardeners keep one eye on the sky and the other on their plant beds.

They give nature a nudge by understanding the climate, learning how to read the weather and then creating a landscape that fits.

“It’s interesting to know what the weather is doing, why it’s doing it and what it will do next,” said Michael Allaby, author of “The Gardener’s Guide to Weather & Climate” (Timber Press, 2015). “If you go with your climate and soil, your garden will be much more successful, and if you choose the appropriate plants and tend them well, you’ll save money because there’ll be fewer failures.”

Climate and weather are not the same thing. Climate is the average weather recorded in a certain area over decades. That would include annual rainfall, arrival of the first killing frost, standard air currents and humidity.

Weather, on the other hand, is the set of atmospheric conditions experienced during the course of the day: things such as temperature, wind velocity and whether it’s raining or sunny.

“Silt is very fertile. Loamy soil, which is best of all, has approximately equal parts of clay, sand and silt.”

Then there are microclimates, which can vary depending on the size and shape of your property.

“Lower terrain may have lower temperatures than higher terrain,” said Gretchen Voyle, a consumer horticulture educator with Michigan State University Extension. “Exposure to sun and wind can create a dry microclimate even in areas with adequate rainfall.”

The world’s climate may be changing, but that doesn’t mean you should disregard the calendar, Voyle said.

“When you have a few days of unexpected 65-degree weather, people may think they can plant. But nature has a way of getting even,” she said.

“It’s best to stay with the tried and true.

Things aren’t what they used to be, but nobody’s sure what we’re moving toward.”

Smart gardeners know what’s going on around them, making them better prepared, Voyle said.

“Life is never going to be static,” she said. “You’ve got to be responsive. The nimble gardener is the one who’s going to get the tomato.”

When to have drinking concerns Dear Dr. K: During my daughter’s wedding, and all the events surrounding it, I started drinking more than usual. But that was six months ago, and I haven’t cut back to where I was before. When do I get concerned I might have a drinking problem?

Dear reader: It’s not easy to answer your question. What constitutes “healthy” versus “harmful” drinking can vary quite a bit from person to person. So where is the line between social drinking and problem drinking? Does drinking every day or drinking a certain amount indicate a problem?

Here’s the bottom line: If your pattern of drinking creates difficulty for you personally, socially or at work, then your drinking likely is harmful to your health.

Now, that sounds reasonable, but it raises some important questions. Most important, are you the best judge of whether your drinking is creating difficulties for you? Would your family, friends and co-workers share your judgment?

Another important question: Could your drinking be affecting your health without you knowing it? I’ve known people who drank throughout the day and were damaging their liver. But in the earliest stages of liver damage from excessive drinking, there often are no symptoms.

And some of the damage silently is done is irreversible.

Several screening tests can help determine whether you might have a drinking problem. (I’ve put two of the tests, the CAGE questionnaire and the AUDIT, on my website, askdoctork.com.)

Alcohol use occurs along a spectrum.

Alcohol dependence is the most severe type of alcohol misuse. It is marked by complete loss of control over drinking behavior. You’re preoccupied with drinking

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and have a strong desire to drink. You start to tolerate alcohol; you don’t get tipsy as easily. You start to feel a little nervous and shaky several hours after your last drink, and you learn another drink can quiet the shakes.

Alcohol abuse is a milder problem.

You don’t have the same compulsion or physical need to drink as those who are dependent on alcohol. But you do drink excessively – and if you keep drinking excessively, you very likely are to go on to alcohol dependence.

Even if you aren’t suffering from alcohol dependence or abuse, your drinking still could be cause for concern. I’ve known people who don’t drink excessively, but even a couple of drinks cause them to say things they may not mean, and surely should not say – to their spouses, friends, co-workers or bosses. That makes their drinking hazardous to their home and work life, and to relationships with family and friends. It also puts them at risk for developing more serious problems with alcohol down the road.

So while I don’t know enough about you to answer your question, the fact you were concerned enough about your drinking to ask me about it indicates it may be a problem. Talk to your doctor about your alcohol use. If you do have a problem, you can work with your doctor to determine the best treatment options for you.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY am a childless stepmom with an Jeanne enormous desire Phillips to be a mother.

My husband has two kids and I love them, but he doesn’t understand the emptiness I feel knowing I’ll never have that biological bond of unconditional love with his kids.

I deal with anxiety, and sometimes become easily frustrated when the kids stay with us. My husband thinks it’s because the kids are “invading my space.” I try to tell him it has more to do with the fact I have this dream of being a whole family, but just as we get into a routine, the kids go back to their mom and we must start all over.

We have talked about trying to have a baby, but my husband is skeptical. He thinks it would cause a bigger rift in my relationship with his kids, but I think it would give me something to share with the kids, as well as give me the biological bond of unconditional love I want so deeply.

Do you think a new addition to a blended family would cause more problems than it would solve? – Needs To Be A Mom Dear Needs: I define a “blended family” as one that encompasses “yours, mine and ours.”

What you have is a situation in which you want a child of your own, and your husband is afraid if you have one, it will distract you from trying to get along better with his kids. What I think is you and your husband should resolve this with a licensed marriage counselor.

Dear Abby: I am 55 and have never lived by myself. I married at 19. We divorced a few years later, and I raised my two kids alone. They are in their 30s now. I did remarry, and we were together for 23 years before I filed for divorce.

At the beginning of my separation, I moved in with my daughter and grandson, which benefited us both financially. I’m financially stable now, and so is my daughter. I’m ready to move out on my own, but my daughter says that’s not fair because she wants to finish college and needs my help to get her through this. I’m proud she works and goes to college full time.

My sister says I should stay because, if I leave, my kids may resent me. I want my independence. I have been a caretaker for as long as I can remember. I want to be my caretaker now – solo.

Am I wrong to want this? Should I stick around another three years until my daughter is finished with college? Am I selfish to want my own life? – Wants My Own Life Dear Wants: You wrote that you and your daughter both are financially stable at this point.

Does she need you to be her resident baby sitter?

At 55, if you want your freedom, and it wouldn’t cause a financial burden on your daughter, you should have the freedom to live the life you want. If, after the move, you would like to contribute child care, it would be a loving thing to do. But to maintain the status quo out of fear you will be resented strikes me as a poor reason for staying.

If the suit was 2-1, anything would have worked, but to accommodate a 3-0 split, declarer led a low spade from the dummy and covered East’s six with his eight. When South won the trick, he cashed his spade ace and claimed.

If West had won trick two, the spades would have been 2-1. Or, if East had discarded at trick two, declarer would have won with his ace and led back toward dummy’s queen.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Nikki Freeman’s winter throwing workouts for track and field were family affairs.

Her father, Bill, set up a ring and net in which to throw the shot put at a local warehouse. Then, when Nikki was ready for business, they would FaceTime her brother/coach Josh so he could watch and critique.

Josh, a 2012 Cary-Grove graduate, won Class 3A state titles in discus and shot put as a senior, and achieved NCAA All-America status in the shot put last season at Southern Illinois.

Nikki sees her brother as a tremendous resource, one she can

“It’s been wonderful,” said Nikki, now a senior at C-G. “He knows exactly what he’s talking about and he’s always looking out for my best interest. Anytime I need anything, I can always reach out to him. I can send him videos and he can get right back and say, ‘Do this,’ or ‘Try this.’

And that’s what I do.”

Freeman finished fourth in the

Class 3A discus at the state meet last season and has been the top girls thrower in the area for the past three years.

Now, she has lofty goals for her final high school season, and the indoor season indicates she is on the right path. She has reached 39 feet, 61/2 inches in the shot. Discus is thrown only in the outdoor season.

Freeman said utilizing the spin technique for shot put has paid dividends. She tried spinning – 11/2 revolutions in the ring to better launch a throw – briefly as a freshman, but is now committed to it. “(C-G) coach (Mark) Anderson said I always have the glide to back me up,” Freeman said. “But I think if this

is what I want to do, I have to stick to it, good days and bad days. So far, it’s worked out.”

Freeman knows next year, wherever she is competing, her college coach will want her to spin in the shot put.

She lists SIU, Illinois State and Radford University in Virginia as her top three schools.

The 39-61/2 throw was 10 inches better than her best outdoor throw last season. Freeman has set goals of 43 feet for the shot and 155 for the discus this spring. Her best discus throw last year was 136-5.

“She knows where she ranks in terms of discus,” Anderson said.

• GOALS

Continued from page 2 “She’s a (state) contender in discus.

That’s always been her stronger throw.

Locally, she’s been a very good shot putter, but it’s intimidating when you look at the state meet results and you

see what is good locally rarely makes a blip on the state radar. [Shot] is a challenge she needs. She feels like she has something to prove in the shot.”

Freeman missed state in the shot put from a rainy, dreary Hononegah Sectional last season. She is determined for that not to be an issue this spring.

“I was pretty disappointed,” she said. “Shot’s never been my favorite, but I knew what I’d been throwing and I should have qualified easily. I want to get at least top nine (and a medal in shot put). In discus, man, there’s a lot of good girls, but like anyone, I want to go for the gold this year. I’m slowly working my way up.”

Nikki Freeman Cary-Grove, sr.

Freeman took fourth in the Class 3A discus at last year’s state meet. She also has been one of the area’s top shot putters throughout her high school career and aims to medal in that event this season, as well.

Kate Jacobs Woodstock, jr.

Jacobs grabbed the fourth-place medal in the Class 2A 1,600 meters at last year’s state meet. She was one of the area’s top cross country runners in the fall, earning Northwest Herald All-Area first-team honors in cross country.

Cassidy Lackovic Huntley, so.

Lackovic won the Fox Valley Conference 100 meters title last year and won the 60 meters in the FVC Indoor Meet this season.

The Red Raiders lost some big scorers to graduation, but Lackovic and fellow sophomore Alex Handchetz will help offset those losses.

Sophie Stricker Harvard, sr.

Stricker won McHenry County and Big Northern Conference championships in the 400 meters last season and grabbed sixth place in the Class 2A state meet.

She was Harvard’s first state medalist since 2005. Stricker also won the 200 meters at the county meet last year.

Caleigh Walsh Jacobs, sr.

Walsh won the McHenry County and FVC long jump titles and qualified for the Class 3A state meet, where she made the finals. Walsh consistently jumped 17-0, and went 17-51/4 to finish 10th in state, one spot from a medal.

La Lumiere boys basketball coach Shane Heirman, a Marian Central graduate, is seen against Montverde Academy in the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals tournament Friday a Christ the King High School in New York. La Lumiere will face Oak Hill Academy on Saturday in the championship game at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Hard-working Heirman drives La Lumiere Flip on ESPN at 11 a.m. Saturday and you might recognize a familiar face.

But first, let’s introduce you to some you might not recognize. Under the lights at Madison Square Garden, La Lumiere School will be playing Oak Hill Academy in the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals championship game.

La Lumiere is a certified prep basketball powerhouse in Indiana that boasts: • Jeremiah Tilmon, a 6-foot-11 center who is just 16 years old and transferred in from East St. Louis this season.

• Brian Bowen, a 6-7 small forward with offers to Division I programs in each of the Power Five Conferences.

• Tyger Campbell, the No. 1 point guard prospect in the Class of 2019, who was featured in a GQ article with the headline “Just How Early Can you Spot the Next LeBron?”

And then there’s the guy you might know. Behind the bench, coaching the

By his senior season, the passedover guard earned himself a D-I scholarship.

you’ve still got like 900-plus yards to go.”

Last fall, Heirman ran the dunes along with his team. Davis said Heirman made it up once.

But it’s the lessons Heirman learned as a walk-on that helped his players reach the top of the dunes and put them in a position to reach the peak of high school basketball success.

“I think he just had confidence in himself more than others had confidence, which is what made him a better player,” Davis said. “It’s cool because you can see him instill that in the guys he coaches now. The way he talks to them and the way he makes those guys feel about themselves and the confidence that they have is pretty neat to see.”

OF-1B Sands makes Opening Day roster

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

SAN DIEGO – Manager Robin Ventura said outfielder-first baseman Jerry Sands will make the White Sox’s Opening Day roster, completing the 25man unit three days before the season opener Monday against the Athletics in Oakland, California.

“Jerry will be going [to Oakland],” Ventura said before the Sox played the Padres in the first of two exhibitions at Petco Park. “These aren’t easy decisions. But knowing what you’re going to need, these are the guys you take.”

Sands, a right-handed hitter who hit three home runs in Cactus League games, also can play third base in a pinch. Left-handed-hitting Travis Ishikawa, a playoff hero for the Giants two years ago and a better glove man than Sands at first, also was considered, but Sands was out of options and seemed to be in the Sox’s plans all along.

“He can come off the bench and hit a lefty; he’s had great numbers always against lefties,” Ventura said. “In the past, we haven’t had that great of a look from that side when they bring in a lefty from the bullpen. He does a lot of things we’ve been looking for.”

Sands, whom the Sox signed as a free agent in December, is a career .292 hitter with a .506 slugging percentage against lefties. He hit .297 with a .500

slugging percentage against lefties with the Indians last season. ‘‘I didn’t have the greatest camp in the world, but I felt I accomplished a few things I wanted to, even though the numbers don’t show it,’’ said Sands, who hit .188 with three homers and a team-high 18 strikeouts this spring.

Sands, 28, batted .236 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 133 plate appearances with the Indians last season. He also played in 66 games with Triple-A Columbus, hitting .287 with 14 homers, 46 RBIs and a .538 slugging percentage.

Ventura started what likely will be his Opening Day lineup in the exhibition game against the Padres: Adam Eaton in right field, Jimmy Rollins at shortstop, Jose Abreu at first base, Todd Frazier at third base, Melky Cabrera in left field, Avisail Garcia as the designated hitter, Brett Lawrie at second base, Austin Jackson in center field and Alex Avila at catcher.

That leaves the Sox with a bench of Sands, catcher Dioner Navarro, infielder Tyler Saladino and outfielder J.B. Shuck.

Barring a late-breaking trade or free-agent signing, the rotation will be Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon, Mat Latos and John Danks.

The bullpen will be made up of David Robertson, Nate Jones, Zach Putnam, Jake Petricka, Matt Albers, Zach Duke and Dan Jennings.

SPRING TRAINING: METS 8, CUBS 1

Cubs manage only 3 hits

By ADAM SOBOLESKI The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Steven Matz didn’t allow a run over five hitless innings, and Yoenis Cespedes hit his first spring homer to lead the New York Mets past the Cubs, 8-1, Friday and end a 14-game winless streak in their last exhibition game.

The Cubs had only three hits and scored their run on John Andreoli’s bases-loaded walk in the sixth. Jason Hammel started and allowed two runs (one earned) over four innings.

Kris Bryant’s streak of reaching safely ended at nine games for the Cubs.

He struck out to lead off the game in his only plate appearance.

Hammel struck out six and allowed five hits and one walk. He finished the

spring 2-2 with a 4.63 ERA.

VIVA LAS VEGAS

Friday afternoon’s game drew 10,995. The two-game series, which was split with the Cubs winning Thursday, drew 20,020. Both games sold out.

This is the 27th exhibition game the Cubs have played in Las Vegas. They have made a trip to Sin City every year since 2005 and have traveled here since 1993. The Cubs are 14-13 in Las Vegas.

UP NEXT

The Cubs travel to Anaheim to take on the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday in an exhibition game. Kyle Hendricks will start against Matt Shoemaker. The Cubs open the regular season Monday night against the Angels in Anaheim.

SOFTBALL: DeKALB 4, HUNTLEY 3

DeKalb rallies past Huntley in 7th

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com ROSEMONT – Huntley had DeKalb senior pitcher Morgan Newport on the ropes early in the teams’ nonconference softball game Friday night at Chicago Bandits Stadium.

The Red Raiders loaded the bases with nobody out in the second inning but came away empty against the left-handed pitcher. That would prove crucial when the Barbs scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to rally for a 4-3 victory.

In the third inning, it was Newport who ignited DeKalb’s offense against Huntley sophomore pitcher Tiffany Giese, ripping a triple down the rightfield line with two outs.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com Newport had to be stopped by Tiffany Giese pitches for Huntley on Friday night DeKalb coach Jeff Davis from rounding third base for a potential insidein Rosemont.

the-park home run but came around to score on a bouncing hit up the middle by Mallory Warner.

The Raiders managed only four hits against Newport, scoring three times in the fifth inning on three errors, but DeKalb came all the way back in the seventh to score two runs on four hits.

Jacqueline Longeville had the final hit for the Barbs, narrowly beating a throw to first base as Danielle Stiles scored the winning run with two outs.

Last year, it was the Raiders who beat DeKalb, 4-3, in the Class 4A DeKalb Regional final, clinching Huntley’s first postseason title since 2009.

With the loss, Huntley falls to 0-3, while DeKalb improves to 5-0.

In the top of the fifth, Huntley used its speed to take extra bases against Newport and put extra pressure on the

Barbs’ infield defense.

A hard grounder to third base off the bat of Huntley’s Hayley O’Mara and a low throw to first base brought home both Jessica Shields and Giese – who each stole second without drawing a throw – to put Huntley up for the first time, 3-1.

Megan Baczewski, Rylie Porretto, Taylor Pacana and Shields each recorded singles for the Raiders, while Pacana added Huntley’s first run on an error. Shields had three steals and scored a run, and Giese added a steal and a run scored in the win.

Newport finished with seven strikeouts, allowing just four hits and walking one over seven innings. All three runs charged against Newport were unearned. Giese was equally up to the challenge for the Raiders, finishing with eight strikeouts and one walk. She allowed 10 hits.

BLACKHAWKS 5, JETS 4 (OT)

Keith suspended 6 games, will miss 1 playoff game

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com

Seabrook’s overtime winner for his fourth point of the night.

The Hawks are 68-0-3 when leading after two since the start of last season.

The Hawks led 3-2 through two periods on goals by Panarin, Brandon Mashinter and Patrick Kane. But Dustin Byfuglien scored the equalizer straight out of the penalty box – the Hawks wasted 38 seconds of a 5-on-3 power play – and Blake Wheeler scored his second goal of the game to make it 4-3 at 11:39 of the third.

Seconds before Byfuglien’s goal, Panarin misfired on a one-timer set up by van Riemsdyk that could have put the game away.

But Panarin redeemed himself with the game-tying goal at 15:15.

His four-point night came after a nine-game stretch in which he had no goals and two assists. Kane also snapped out of his recent funk with a goal and an assist. It was his 40th goal of the season, and his 96th point.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba – After describing Duncan Keith’s one-handed stick swing to Charlie Coyle’s face as “an intentional and retaliatory act of violence by a player with a history of using his stick as a weapon,” the NHL’s Department of Player Safety suspended the Blackhawks defenseman for six games.

That means Keith will miss only one playoff game, and the most heavily leaned-on player on the team will get a two-week break before the postseason begins.

It could have been a lot worse.

Then it got worse.

Andrew Shaw left Friday’s 5-4 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets – won on Brent Seabrook’s goal 62 seconds into the extra session – with an unknown injury in the second period and didn’t return, another blow to a reeling team.

On the bright side, the Hawks

moved a comfortable six points ahead of Nashville for third place, a critical spot in the standings to avoid a trip to Los Angeles or Anaheim in the first round. It also moved them within four points of the second-place St. Louis Blues with four games to go.

As for the game itself, it was a wild affair. At one point late in the second period, the Hawks were playing without Corey Crawford (still out with an apparent head injury), Marian Hossa (sick), Keith (suspended), Shaw (had to be helped off the ice), Trevor van Riemsdyk (left the game after taking a big hit from Blake Wheeler), and Jonathan Toews (took a Niklas Hjalmarsson clearing attempt in the right ear). Toews and van Riemsdyk returned for the third.

The Hawks were on the verge of losing in regulation after leading through two periods for the first time in 71 games when Artemi Panarin scored his second goal of the game to tie it, 4-4. Panarin then set up

Shooters struggle Vastly different at NRG Stadium but familiar foes

By JIM O’CONNELL

The Associated Press

HOUSTON – Oklahoma is one of the nation’s best 3-point shooting teams. Villanova is no slouch, either.

Their numbers don’t lie, but neither do NRG Stadium’s. That’s where the Sooners and Wildcats will play their national semifinal game Saturday and also where a lot of 3-point shots have just not gone in the basket.

There have been six NCAA tournament games played in the home of the NFL’s Houston Texans, but sizable crowds of 70,000-plus have seen misses at unusual rates for big-time college basketball.

In the six games – the 2011 Final Four and the 2015 South Regional – the 12 teams combined to shoot 27.6 percent (59 of 214) from 3-point range.

Plenty of teams have bad games, but only three teams in all of college hoops shot 27.6 percent or worse on 3s this season: Robert Morris, Grambling State and Prairie View A&M. Only one team playing at NRG – Duke last year – shot better than 33 percent, and that was 42.1 percent (819).

Oklahoma (29-7) is coming into the Final Four shooting 42.8 percent on 3s – second in the nation – and Villanova (33-5) hits at a 35.4 percent clip.

Both teams had chances to shoot in the stadium Thursday and Friday and the ballpark’s history didn’t seem to bother the Sooners.

“It’s just 94 feet with two goals,” said Jordan Woodard, who shot 45.9 percent from behind the arc this season. “Coach, he’s going to expect us to make shots no matter where we’re at. We have to make shots in order to win.”

Buddy Hield, who has earned a lot of hardware this week as a national player of the year, was fourth in the nation at 46.5 percent.

“We’ve been making shots all week,” he said. “We shouldn’t have the effect of shooting in an arena. I know it’s big, but we (are) going to light it up tomorrow for sure.”

Villanova coach Jay Wright had a team in the 2009 Final Four at Detroit’s Ford Field and the Wildcats played in the Carrier Dome every year when the Orange were in the Big East.

“I thought yesterday’s practice was really vital,” Wright said Friday.

“At the beginning, you could see we were a little off. But by the end of practice, I thought everybody was comfortable,” he said. “I really think by tomorrow night, everybody’s going to be fine, I really do. Once you get in there for a while, it’s going to make you comfortable.”

By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press

HOUSTON – North Carolina likes to run, and Syracuse prefers to walk.

These two teams that do things so differently are also quite familiar with each other, having played twice this season.

Except this isn’t another ACC game. The conference rivals, with their veteran coaches who have both been here multiple times before, are playing each other in the Final Four.

While the stage and the stadium are much bigger, with a spot in the national championship game on the line, don’t expect Roy Williams’ Tar Heels (32-6) or Jim Boeheim’s Orange (23-13) to start altering what they do in the national semifinal game Saturday night.

“We just try to do what we do better. That’s all,” said Boeheim, whose team and its 2-3 zone made it to Houston as a No. 10 seed. “It’s a little too late in the year to be experimenting.”

North Carolina, the only No. 1 seed in this Final Four and the ACC’s highest-scoring team at 83 points a game, won both earlier matchups against the Orange this season.

Williams isn’t sure he agrees with the old premise brought up constantly this week about the challenge of beat-

ing the same team three times in the same season.

“If you’re better than me, you can probably beat me 20 times,” Williams said, before adding a caveat about playing the Orange again. “The Syracuse games, the games went right down to the wire.”

Then Williams reminded everyone of 1985 when Villanova, a No. 8 seed, beat defending national champion Georgetown in the title game after the Wildcats lost twice against their Big East rivals in the regular season – 5750 and 52-50.

In the Jan. 9 game under Syracuse’s dome, the Orange were tied at halftime and led by as many as six points after that. But Isaiah Hicks scored 19 of his 21 points after the break, and the Tar Heels hit 12 of 13 from the field in the closing minutes for an 84-73 victory.

In the Feb. 29 rematch at Chapel Hill, the Orange had cut a second-half deficit of 15 points to one with 2:23 left but never went back ahead in a 75-70 loss.

“I think it gives you some confidence going into this game” said Orange guard Trevor Cooney, who had a season-high 27 points in the first game against Carolina. “I mean, we can play with these guys. ... If we play the way we’ve been playing defensively, I think we’ll be fine.”
