A rolling Skittle gathers no milk There have been some very strange things that have spilled out of trucks onto the highways over the years. Here are a few of them …

• 5,000 gallons of molasses slid into the highway in, of all places, Sugarland, Texas.

• 38,000 pounds of marbles rolled onto Interstate 465 in Indiana.

• 13.7 million bees buzzed Montana’s roadside.

• Thousands of ice cream bars sadly melted on the street in California.

• 2,200 baby piglets fled the scene of a crash in Ohio.

• A New Jersey Turnpike cashed in on $2 million in coins.

• Tons of strawberry jelly caused a traffic jam in Indianapolis.

Add to these roadside attractions copious quantities of sausage, doughnut glaze, olive oil, chicken wings, corn dogs, beer, salsa, lasagna, fish heads and pork legs, and it would appear the nation’s highways offer more dinner options than Golden Corral.

All of which brings me to the latest recent highway spill. Recently a flatbed pickup truck was traveling down a rainy highway in southeastern Wisconsin. It was carrying a very large cardboard box. The box became wetter and wetter, weaker and weaker, until it burst, its contents spilling out like desperate fans leaving a Bulls game.

The mysterious cargo fell onto the pavement, leaving it with a bright red coating, glistening in the rain. What could it be?

Police arrived to discover thousands and thousands of little round red beads scattered across the highway. They looked very familiar and had a very unique smell …

“What is it, Bill?”

“You might think I’m crazy, Frank, but I think they’re Skittles!”

There was no distinctive “S” stamped on them, but the telltale smell gave them away.

With a little detective work it was confirmed that they were indeed Skittles. Thank goodness for forensic candy technology.

But what was a load of unmarked red Skittles doing traveling on a flatbed truck through Wisconsin? Some kind of black market illegal candy trafficking? Cheap Skittle knockoffs slip-

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava ping into dollar stores? This may be the biggest confectionery conspiracy since the disappearance of Willy Wonka.

Well, it was nothing so dramatic. It was simply a truck delivering Skittle rejects to a dairy farmer to feed to his cows. Geesh, that’s a relief.

It appears that farmers have been serving their cows candy for decades. In search of inexpensive feed to provide their cattle, it was found that candy can help the cows put on weight and increase their milk production. Cast off sweets are less expensive than corn and provide the cheap carbs to keep these cows fat and happy.

Which leads me to wondering …

OK, candy is cheaper than corn to feed the cows. But the candy is made from corn syrup, of which you need corn to make. So, let me get this straight: Farmers grow corn to make candy so they can feed the candy to their cows instead of the corn. This makes as much sense as why lemonade contains imitation flavoring and furniture polish has real lemon juice.

But that’s not all. Besides red Skittles, cows also are being fed cookies, cereal, taco shells and refried beans. I think that actually would make a great new fast food menu item, the “Bovine Candy Crunch Wrap.”

I suppose we shouldn’t be shocked about what cows eat. After all, we humans have no problem adding ammonia to our beef, antifreeze to our salad dressing and silicone breast implant filler to our chicken nuggets.

One can imagine the shock of the Skittle Cows if they heard that a box of ammonium hydroxide, propylene glycol and dimethylpolysiloxane fell off a truck that was heading for, gasp, the farmer’s dinner table.

That would be udder disaster.

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. He thinks the red Skittles may explain how we get pink, strawberry-flavored milk. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

FEAR AND STRESS

McHenry group trying to address concerns from immigrants and their kids

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Before the 2016 presidential election, the Garden Quarter Neighborhood Resource Center in McHenry had a policy to not discuss politics, Executive Director Lupe Ortiz said.

Ortiz said she and other leaders

at the resource center, which serves mostly low-income, Spanish-speaking families, wanted to respect everyone’s opinions and right to privacy, but that changed when Donald Trump ran for, and became, president.

“It was really hard to keep that policy when there was such a concern, so we had to have these support groups that talk politics,” Ortiz said.

From fears of deportation and separated families, to the lowering of self-esteem because of racist remarks, Ortiz and other program leaders at the resource center have seen it all from their clients – and it’s mostly affected younger students who’ve picked up on the rhetoric that sometimes surrounded Trump’s campaign.

Trump campaigned on building a

border wall with Mexico to stop illegal immigration, deporting immigrants who are in the nation illegally and halting the resettlement of refugees to strengthen the federal program that vets them.

“We realize that bullying because of the election has definitely gone up,”

McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks calls the meeting to order Dec. 5. The board’s Committee on Governmental Accessibility unanimously approved rule changes related to the use of a new electronic voting system.

Ad hoc County Board committee approves use of electronic voting

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An ad-hoc McHenry County Board committee recommended approval of changes to board rules that would cover the use of a new electronic voting system.

The Committee on Governmental Accessibility on a 5-0 vote Thursday green-lighted the changes, which will have to go before a full County Board vote. County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, convened the committee and was one of its voting members.

Electronic voting was first used at the Jan. 17 board meeting, but it did not get a welcome reception from board members.

Besides pointing out that board rules

only cover voice vote, members questioned why they were not brought into the purchase process, and alleged that they did not get adequate training.

The new system, which works through the county’s existing audio streaming and online agenda software, allows board members to vote with their county-issued iPads and displays voting results online and on a new flat-screen TV behind the chairman’s seat. It was paid for through the budget of County Clerk Mary McClellan, who is responsible for tallying votes and taking minutes at the full County Board’s voting meetings.

Maintaining the software costs about $12,000 a year, or about $1,000 a month, not counting the one-time $2,700 cost of the hardware.

The recommended rule changes do

not require electronic votes for simple up-or-down votes for issues in which no money is being spent, but members can request one.

Franks said Thursday that McClellan will be meeting with individual committees to conduct training on the new system so that all 24 members are proficient.

In the past, the responsibility of reviewing and updating the County Board rules has fallen upon what is now known as the Internal Support and Facilities Committee. But Franks created the adhoc group because the County Board rules do not explicitly give any existing committee the duty.

The County Board next meets in a nonvoting Committee of the Whole on Feb. 16, with the voting meeting to follow Feb. 21.

Lawyer facing DUI, gun charges, seeks treatment Donald Franz might get special prosecutor for case

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake lawyer accused of illegally possessing firearms and driving under the influence of alcohol is seeking substance abuse treatment.

Dan Hofmann, Donald F. Franz’s attorney, said Thursday that his client was unable to make his first court appearance because he is Donald F. in in-patient treatment Franz at a Rosecrance substance abuse treatment center.

Franz, who is charged with aggravated driving under the influence and aggravated battery to a peace officer, also is facing charges of illegally possessing nearly 60 firearms, authorities

said. Franz is a self-employed lawyer practicing in the county for more than two decades, and the son of the late McHenry County Judge James Franz.

Judge Michael Feetterer said he had to recuse himself from the case because he has known Donald Franz for a long time and has worked with him on other matters. Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons said his office also plans to request a special prosecutor, a matter that will be ruled on once a new judge is chosen.

Franz, 50, was arrested Jan. 19 after police responded to North Williams Street in Crystal Lake for the report of a possible intoxicated motorist. Police said Franz became “uncooperative and combative with police” and resisted arrest, resulting in an injury to an officer’s finger, according to court documents.

Upon his arrest, Franz allegedly was found in possession of a loaded firearm, Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski said. Additional rounds of assorted firearm ammunition also were found in the vehicle. Franz previously had his FOID card revoked and therefore was not legally allowed to possess firearms, police said.

Crystal Lake police officers obtained a search warrant for Franz’s vehicle and his residence and found 36 high-powered rifles, assault-style rifles and shotguns; 20 assorted handguns; and thousands of rounds of ammunition, Kotlowski said. Franz is believed to be a hunter.

Franz also is being investigated by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission for matters than include threatening an ARDC employee.

WL man accused of selling heroin while out on bond for drug charges

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK — A Wonder Lake man facing serious drug charges was arrested again after he allegedly sold heroin while free on bond.

Brian M. Freund, 30, of the 3500 block of East Wonder Lake Road, was arrested Wednesday after a monthlong narcotics investigation. McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force detectives said they made undercover heroin purchases from Freund after learning he was allegedly selling the drugs again since his previous arrest in July.

A search warrant was served at his residence where detectives found 42.7 grams of heroin, packaging material, a scale, alprazolam pills and $540. The street value for the narcotics seized is estimated to be $8,540, detectives said.

Freund was charged with two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a church, a Class 1 felony; two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a

Class 2 felony; violation of bail bond, a Class A misdemeanor; unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class X felony; unlawful possession of a controlled subBrian M. stance, a Class X felony; Freund unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony; and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was in the McHenry County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond as of Friday, according to the jail log.

Freund was first arrested in July on felony drug charges after members of the task force searched a McHenry residence and recovered about 180 grams of heroin, two scales, packaging materials

and $963.

Freund turned himself in and posted 10 percent of his $150,000 bond. Prosecutors questioned the source of his bail funds, arguing that any funds used to post bond might not be from a legitimate source based on the defendant’s employment history and earnings.

Hank Sugden, Freund’s attorney, previously argued that his client obtained the funds for bond from family and friends. He also said Freund has worked at several different places in the past few years, sometimes working more than one job at a time.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer rejected $60,000 that Freund initially produced for bail questioning the source, but he eventually was able to post bond that was accepted.

Executive director Lupe Ortiz works Wednesday at Garden Quarter Neighborhood Resource Center in McHenry.

said he was sad because he feared his friend would be deported.

“So I of course hug him, and I explain to him that nothing’s going to happen to him, we’re all here to protect each other,” Wallin said. “… But even for me having to tell him, ‘Hey we’re protecting each other, we won’t let anything bad happen,’ and I still talk about it, but I don’t know.”

Ortiz said it is overwhelming to provide enough support and education to help students and parents who are stressed – so to help they’ve increased their partnerships with other organizations in the area such as the Community Health Partnership of Illinois, Association for Individual Development, and Mano a Mano Family Resource Center.

Lawyers have come to the center to meet with parents and help them apply for legal citizenship, support groups have been held for children to discuss how a democracy works and referrals are made to mental health organizations when staff realizes a high level of anxiety in children.

The center always has had an opendoor policy where people can talk to staff at the resource center, and staff reminds children to advocate for themselves, and report bullying incidents at school.

Jennifer Mendez, a 7-year-old second-grade student at Riverwood Elementary School in McHenry, said she’s been told by classmates that she’s going to “go back to Mexico.” She also said she’s worried that her father will be sent back, and she’s “going to be all alone.”

“Don’t feel less than other people just because of your color, just because of your facial characteristics,” Luqueno said she tells people who come to her for advice. “Be proud of where you come from, and be proud of your parents and

be proud of who you are as an individual.”

When Karen Gonzalez, a 17-year-old McHenry West High School junior and Garden Quarter participant, hears demeaning comments about her race, she said it makes her upset, but also gives her strength to prove others wrong.

“They don’t realize we came here to have a better future. My parents wanted a better life for me,” Gonzalez said. “…

They don’t see that we’re trying to get the same privileges as them.”

Ortiz said. “Like comments that are being thrown out to kids like, ‘Trump’s gonna send you back.’ Things like that, where it’s specific bullying issues because of the new president.”

The center sees about 30 students daily for its after-school youth program that helps people from first to 12th grade with homework and gives them a sense of community. There also are parents who use the resource center’s services such as help with transportation, learning English and taking computer classes.

Nearly 90 percent of adults who come to the Garden Quarter are undocumented, Ortiz said, however, most of the children were born in the U.S. or are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

One of the largest concerns children at the Garden Quarter had during and after Trump’s election was the fear that their undocumented parents would be sent to their country of origin, Ortiz said. Parents had told center leaders that their children were crying and throwing up because of stress from the fear that their parents would be deported.

“To me personally, it really hits home, because I am a deferred action student, and my parents are undocumented,” said Michelle Luqueno, youth program manager at the resource center. “So I live with that, I wouldn’t say fear, but that struggle of knowing that my parents are OK.” With her deferred action status, 20-year-old Luqueno is able to work and go to college, she said. She’s lived in the U.S. almost her whole life – her parents brought her from Mexico when she was about 1, she said.

Although she is currently working and dually enrolled at College of Lake County and Northern Illinois University, Luqueno said she fears that the Trump administration will change the policies for deferred action, and she’ll miss out on a college education by being sent back to Mexico.

Patricia Wallin, parent program manager and bicultural services manager with the center, said her son in elementary school came home one day and

20 NIU students affected by travel ban International students see effects of executive order

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

Northern Illinois University statistics graduate student Atef Alghzzy poses for a portrait Friday in DeKalb. Alghzzy moved here from Syria to attend NIU and is one of many affected by the recent travel ban.

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University student Atef Alghzzy is concerned about how President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration and travel will affect him and his family.

Alghzzy has been in the U.S. for a year with his wife, who studies at Kishwaukee College, and their two children, who are 5 and 3 years old. He said he came from Damascus to pursue a master’s degree in statistics and have a better future for his family.

He said he plans to stay in the country and look for a job after graduation, but he is concerned that employers will hesitate to hire him because of his nationality.

“I feel like it will make an obstacle to find a job and continue my life,” Alghzzy said. “If they know I am Syrian, and Syrians are under the scope of immigration, they will worry that I will be deported.”

He said he feels restricted by the president’s order, but he intends to remain in the country.

Alghzzy’s parents recently moved from Syria to the neighboring country of Lebanon, and he is unsure of when he will be able to see them again.

“I feel like I am now in jail here,” Alghzzy

“I feel like it will make an obstacle to find a job and continue my life. If they know I am Syrian, and Syrians are under the scope of immigration, they will worry that I will be deported.”

Atef Alghzzy

Northern Illinois University student said. “If I leave, I cannot come back. It is pretty much like a jail for me.”

Trump signed an executive order Jan. 27 that stops refugees from entering the U.S. for 120 days, bars Syrian refugees indefinitely and blocks U.S. entry for 90 days for citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The countries were identified for limitations based on potential terrorism threats in legislation signed under the Obama administration.

Trump has said the suspensions are needed to protect the nation from terrorist infiltration and allow for vetting procedures to be strengthened, which were key promises in his presidential campaign.

ful life.”

Nazanin Zinouri, who earned a master’s degree from NIU, is unable to enjoy what was supposed to be a threeweek vacation with her family in Iran because she is worried about when and if she will be able to go home to South Carolina.

“I was planning on enjoying time with family and taking care of family business,” Zinouri said Sunday in a phone interview with The Associated Press from Tehran. “But I’ve not been able to do any of them. I’m mostly just listening to the news. ... I can’t really focus or enjoy anything as much as I want. I can’t even have a normal conversation.”

Zinouri moved to the U.S. in August 2010 and went on to earn a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from Clemson University. She now works at a startup technology firm in South Carolina. She wrote Wednesday in a Facebook post that she is worried about when she will be able to return to her dog and what might happen to her belongings in her apartment and her car still parked at the airport.

“Please know that the outpouring of support means more to me than I could possibly express, and regardless of the outcome, I will always be grateful for it,” she wrote. “That said, I really want to go home.”

Proposed quarry to double in size

Super Aggregates wanted to merge quarries to form Marengo Lakes LLC

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The proposed quarry for Marengo likely will be a lot bigger than initially expected.

Last February, the city of Marengo approved an 80-acre annexation agreement with McHenry-based company Super Aggregates, which sought to develop a quarry off Pleasant Grove Road, which would be attached to 175 acres of land within Marengo city limits.

Now the company wants to merge property with an existing 256-acre quarry south of the area to form a new sand and gravel mining entity called Marengo Lakes LLC, according to Marengo city documents.

The project will go before the Planning and Zoning Commission after a public hearing Feb. 21. The commission could make a recommendation on the zoning change, which could classify the site as a manufacturing site with a special use permit under city codes. The City Council would vote at its subsequent meeting on the amended annexation agreement and zoning change.

Jack Pease of Super Aggregates said

the quarry should be operational by the spring.

Under the original annexation agreement, the owner will pay the city 5 cents for each ton of the gross amount of sand, gravel and other products excavated or produced from the property, according to city documents.

“We want to be a good neighbor to the city,” Pease said. “The only negative is that we have to give them a royalty, but it’s a fair amount, so we don’t object that strongly.”

City Administrator Gary Boden said the plus side of the change is that less traffic will come off and on Pleasant Grove Road, which was a hot topic in 2016.

“The new configuration won’t have active traffic on Pleasant Grove Road,” he said. “All quarry traffic will go off Route 23. … It’s also pretty far removed from residential areas. It’s pretty far out in the middle of nowhere as far as the population is concerned.”

Official: Fire causes about $150K in damage to home MARENGO – Fire officials continue to investigate a structure fire that caused about $150,000 in damage to a Marengo home Thursday evening.

The Marengo Fire Protection District was called about 7:24 p.m. to a report of a garage fire at 611 Dunham Court.

10 Super Bowl ads to watch

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The Super Bowl isn’t just played on the field. Just as intense is a battle off the field to win viewers’ attentions.

Advertisers are paying $5 million for just 30 seconds to reach the more than 110 million people in the U.S. expected to tune in. Which ads will be the most talked about? Which ads will be the most remembered years from now, long after the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots square off?

Here are 10 Super Bowl ads to watch during Sunday’s broadcast on Fox.

84 Lumber, “The Journey Begins”

First-time Super Bowl advertiser 84 Lumber seems to wade into political territory with a 90-second spot that shows a Mexican woman and her daughter traveling across Mexico on foot. The daughter collects pieces of fabric along the way. The ad appears in the first half – without the conclusion. The ending will be shown online at halftime at http://journey84.com.

STATE

Munger hired as a deputy governor

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner announced Friday he has hired former state Comptroller Leslie Munger to serve as a deputy governor, saying she will focus on long-term budgeting and work with human services organizations hit hard by the state budget impasse.

Munger will serve in addition to current Deputy Governor Trey Childress and will earn $135,000 annually, the same amount the Lincolnshire Republican made as comptroller.

Rauner appointed Munger to serve as comptroller in 2015, after Judy Baar Topinka died. She lost a November re-election bid to Democrat Susana Mendoza.

“Leslie’s vast business, human services and government experiences make her uniquely qualified to serve in this important role,” the Republican governor said in a statement first

News from across the state Attorney wants charges against cop dismissed

CHICAGO – Attorneys for a white Chicago police officer charged in the death of a black teen who was shot 16 times said Friday that grand jurors were wrongly told that officers tampered with audio and video recordings of the fatal encounter.

Jason Van Dyke’s Jason attorney urged a judge to Van Dyke throw out the first-degree murder charges in the 2014 death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

“There was a rush to sacrifice Jason Van Dyke to the angry mob out there,” defense attorney Daniel Herbert told a Cook County judge.

It’s the second motion Van Dyke’s attorneys have filed seeking to have the case dismissed. The judge hasn’t ruled on either motion.

In the previous motion, Herbert said

released to The Associated Press. “We are thrilled that she has agreed to return to public service and bring people together to find long-term solutions for our state and its residents.”

Rauner’s office said the money for Munger’s salary was freed up when former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle left her $198,000-a-year position on Rauner’s executive staff. They said the governor’s overall payroll – including staff paid through state agencies – still is millions less than it was under his predecessor, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.

Herbert said the new motion focuses on a “whole different set of irregularities that were done” before grand jurors. He said grand jurors also were wrongly told that McDonald was shot in the back at first.

“The grand jurors were deceived on critical issues,” Herbert said.

McDonald’s death prompted a Justice Department investigation that found Chicago police had violated people’s constitutional rights. Van Dyke was the first Chicago officer in nearly 35 years to be charged with first-degree murder for an on-duty fatality.

Van Dyke is scheduled to be back in court March 23.

New bill would let teens join organ donor registry

SPRINGFIELD – Legislation has been introduced in the Legislature that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to register for the state’s organ and tissue donor registry.

The legislation has the backing of Secretary of State Jesse White’s office.

It was introduced by state Sen. Mattie

Hunter of Chicago and state Rep. Deb Conroy of Villa Park, both Democrats.

The measure would let 16- and 17-yearolds become part of the registry when they register to drive or register for their state identification card. It would amend the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act, which requires those joining the donor registry to be at least age 18.

Those younger than age 18 who register would give consent to donate their organs and tissues, but only after efforts have been made to contact a parent or guardian.

Police: Monee man found dead after killing wife

MONEE – Authorities said a Monee man fatally shot his wife and wounded another family member before apparently killing himself.

Monee police said Damien Lee shot his wife Tiffany Lee and the other family member Wednesday night and drove away before officers arrived. Police said Tiffany Lee was pronounced dead at a hospital and the other victim was in serious condition.

After a report that Damien Lee’s vehicle was spotted, officers from the Will County Sheriff’s Office and University Park police found him dead. Cause and

manner of his death are under investigation, but police said they don’t think anyone else was involved in the deaths.

Police are investigating what prompted shooting.

Ex-trooper gets probation for bribery, misconduct

DANVILLE – A former Illinois state trooper convicted of bribing a police officer to ticket his former girlfriend has been sentenced to probation.

The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported that 47-year-old Keith Lumsargis received the sentence Thursday from Circuit Court Judge Nancy Fahey.

Vermilion County State’s Attorney Jacqueline Lacy had asked the court for a four-year prison sentence.

Jurors in November found Lumsargis guilty of two counts of bribery and two counts of official misconduct for offering a police officer a steak dinner for giving his ex-girlfriend a traffic ticket.

Lumsargis testified his actions were out of concern for the woman’s teenage daughter, who might have been in the vehicle with her when she’d been drinking. But prosecutors contended he was trying to get back at her for breaking up with him.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Education nominee moves defense attorneys in a failed bid to get a judge to loosen them. closer to confirmation WASHINGTON – Betsy DeVos moved closer toward confirmation as education secretary Friday after clearing a major hurdle in the Senate, even as Democrats and labor unions fervently sought another Republican vote against her.

Tensions grew on the Senate floor during an early-morning session, with a senior Republican saying DeVos will make an “excellent” secretary and a top Democrat calling her “one of the worst nominees.” Republicans overpowered Democrats, voting 52-48 to cut off debate on the nomination, setting the stage for a final vote Tuesday.

DeVos has faced fierce criticism from labor unions for her promotion of school choice.

Democrats and teachers’ organizations have accused her of seeking to dismantle public education and divert taxpayer money to charter schools and private school vouchers.

Trump orders review of banking regulations The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump launched his long-promised attack Friday on banking rules that were rushed into law after the nation’s economic crisis, signing new orders after meeting with business and investment chiefs and pledging further action to free big banks from restrictions. Wall Street cheered him on, but Trump risks disillusioning his working-class voters.

He directed his Treasury secretary to review the devilishly complex 2010 DoddFrank financial oversight law, which was signed by President Barack Obama to overhaul regulations after the financial and housing crisis of the past decade. It aimed to restrain banks’ from misdeeds that many blamed for the crisis.

The new president also signed a memorandum instructing the Labor Department to delay an Obama-era rule that requires financial professionals who charge commissions to put their clients’ best interests first when giving advice on retirement investments.

While the order on DoddFrank, named after its Democratic sponsors, won’t have an immediate effect, Trump’s intent is clear. The law has been a disaster in restricting banks’ activities, he said earlier this week. “We’re going to be doing a big number on Dodd-Frank.”

During a meeting with business leaders, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Friday, he said, “Frankly, I have so many people, friends of mine that have nice businesses that can’t borrow money. They just can’t get any money because the banks just won’t let ’em borrow because of the rules and regulations of Dodd-Frank.”

Those regulations unnecessarily cramp the U.S. econ-

President Donald Trump holds up an executive order Friday in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. The executive order will direct the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial oversight law, which reshaped financial regulation after the 2008-2009 crisis. omy and job creation, he declared. But many Democrats see it differently, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was behind the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, formed as part of the Dodd-Frank law.

“Donald Trump talked a big game about Wall Street during his campaign – but as president, we’re finding out whose side he’s really on,” Warren said in a statement.

“The Wall Street bankers and lobbyists whose greed and recklessness nearly destroyed this country may be toasting each other with champagne, but the American people have not forgotten the 2008 financial crisis – and they will not forget what happened today.”

The crisis touched off the worst recession since the 1930s Great Depression, wiping out $11 trillion in U.S. household wealth and leaving about 8 million Americans jobless. U.S. taxpayers funded multibillion-dollar bailouts of Wall Street mega-banks, smaller banks across the

country and other financial firms.

Eight years on, the economy’s recovery has been halting, a situation that contributed to Trump’s election.

Beyond being fed up with bailouts, consumers have an interest in the Financial Protection Bureau, which expanded regulators’ ability to police a wide array of financial products and services.

During his campaign, Trump pledged to repeal and replace the law, but he also railed against Wall Street excess and vowed to hold the industry accountable for the crisis. His rhetoric left questions about how closely he would align with the financial services industries’ years-long fight to undo regulations they view as burdensome.

Since winning the White House, Trump has cleared up some of those questions. He has filled his administration with millionaires and financiers and signed the orders after meeting with top CEOs and banking executives.

Trump hits Iran with new sanctions The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Trump administration ordered sanctions against more than two dozen people and companies from the Persian Gulf to China on Friday in retaliation for Iran’s recent ballistic missile test, increasing pressure on Tehran without directly undercutting a landmark nuclear deal with the country.

Those targeted by the Treasury Department include Iranian, Lebanese, Emirati and Chinese individuals and firms involved in procuring ballistic missile technology for Iran. They are now prohibited from doing any business in the U.S. or with American citizens. The overall effect is likely to be minimal on Iran’s economy, although some of the people and companies have relationships with Iran’s hard-line Revolutionary Guard military forces.

“The days of turning a blind eye to Iran’s hostile and belligerent actions toward the United States and the world community are over,” Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, said in a statement.

Although White House spokesman Sean Spicer acknowledged that much of the legwork had occurred under President Barack Obama, he told reporters the Trump administration “acted swiftly and decisively” after Iran’s recent missile test and Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen firing on a Saudi naval vessel.

It is Trump’s first package of pen-

White House press secretary Sean Spicer speaks during the daily press briefing Thursday in the briefing room of the White House in Washington. alties against Iran, reflecting his insistence on a tougher stance toward Tehran. Throughout his election campaign, Trump accused the Obama administration of being weak on Iran, and he vowed to crack down if elected.

Iran has acknowledged that it conducted a missile test. But it insists the test didn’t violate the 2015 nuclear accord it reached with the U.S. and five other world powers, or a subsequent U.N. Security Council resolution extending an eight-year ban on ballistic missiles “designed to be capable of de-

livering nuclear weapons.” Washington, under Obama and Trump, and its Western allies agree the matter is separate from the nuclear pact but maintain that the missile tests violate the U.N. ban.

Iran’s foreign ministry decried the new U.S. sanctions on Friday as “illegitimate.” It vowed counter-sanctions on American companies and firms.

Iran already has a formidable arsenal of thousands of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and other U.S. allies in

the Middle East, as well as American bases, and has undertaken a series of tests in the year and a half since the nuclear agreement. The U.S. said the latest launch was of a medium-range missile, and an American defense official described it as failing re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

In a tweet Friday morning, Trump wrote, “Iran is playing with fire – they don’t appreciate how ‘kind’ President Obama was to them. Not me.”

Despite the tough talk, the new sanctions represent a continuation of the Obama administration’s limited punishment for Iran’s ballistic missile activity and avoid a direct showdown with Tehran over the nuclear deal itself. The sanction targets were drawn up before Obama left office and don’t affect Iran Air, a big Iranian bank or any major government entity, making it unclear how effective they’ll prove as deterrents.

None of the new penalties reversed Obama’s suspension of sanctions under the nuclear pact. Obama himself promised after the deal to continue going after Iran with non-nuclear penalties in response to missile launches, terror support or human rights abuses, and did so in January and March of last year.

“This is part of a much broader strategy and merely a sign of coming attractions,” said Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who advises the administration and Congress on Iran-related issues.

EU leaders worry as Trump’s rhetoric becomes policy The ASSOCIATED PRESS VALLETTA, Malta – European Union leaders on Friday vowed to remain united and defiant in the face of an onslaught of criticism from the new American president that has started to undermine the once-unshakeable trans-Atlantic relationship.

And they hit back in an increasing battle of words, underscoring how they fear that Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric will be turned into policy and further tear apart their troubled bloc.

EU chief Donald Tusk earlier this week moved the U.S. into a “threat” category for the EU, after several negative comments about the 28-nation bloc.

“Maybe the best evidence that we are together in this context was the fact that some of my colleagues have used a new nickname for me, spontaneously, which is ‘our Donald,’ ” Tusk

said Friday at an EU summit in Malta, highlighting the new divisions in the century-old alliance with the U.S. French President Francois Hollande said “it cannot be accept- Donald Tusk able” that Trump could put pressure on the EU through his declarations on Twitter. And he warned that Trump should not send any envoy to the EU that has criticized the bloc, Angela which one potential can- Merkel didate has done.

“To appoint an ambassador, better for him to believe in the institution with which he would have to work. It is as simple as that,” Hollande said.

Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite pointed out that it was almost impossible to build a bridge with

Trump because “today we’re communicating with the United States mainly on Twitter.”

Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said that “Trump must be judged by his actions and not by his rhetoric and his election campaign. But now he has delivered enough actions that are worrying.” He said the U.S. was partly responsible for the strong refugee flows toward Europe because of its Mideast policies.

“What has happened in the last few days are really not the values I’m fighting for,” Kern’s Luxembourg counterpart, Xavier Bettel, said, referring to Trump’s ban on refugees.

Trump has questioned the NATO alliance linking North America and Europe, calling it “obsolete.” In addition, hopes for a major EU-U.S. trade deal have already taken a deep dive amid worries of new U.S. protectionism under the Trump slogan “America first.”

And adding insult to injury, Trump called the British decision to leave the EU – the most cathartic event in the bloc’s 60-year history – “a tremendous asset and not a tremendous liability.”

For France and Germany, there is only one solution to facing an unpredictable partner.

“Many countries have to realize that their future is first in the European Union, rather than who knows what bilateral relation with the United States,” Hollande said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said “the more strongly we are clear about how we define our role in the world, the better we can tend our trans-Atlantic relations.”

Italian Premier Paolo Gentiloni saw a “great opportunity” for the EU if the Trump administration turns out to be largely domestic-focused, leaving the way open for Europe to be what he called the “No. 1 trade superpower in the world.”

WASHINGTON – House Republicans face opposition to their plan to overhaul the way corporations pay federal taxes from a powerful group of lawmakers – other Republicans.

“I’m not very enthused about it,” said Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the chairman of the Finance Committee and the Senate’s top tax writer.

Another skeptic is John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate.

“The question is, who is going to pay the tax?” Cornyn asked. “Is it going to be our citizens?”

Seeking to overhaul the tax code for the first time in 30 years, the House GOP plan would scrap the 35 percent tax on corporate profits, which is riddled with exemptions, deductions and credits. It would be replaced with something called a “border adjustment tax.”

Under the system, American companies that produce and sell their products in the U.S. would pay a new 20 percent tax on the profits from these sales. However, if a company exports a product abroad, the profits from that sale would not be taxed by the U.S. Foreign companies that import goods to the U.S. also would have to pay the tax.

The proposal could help American workers and exporters who are struggling to compete against low-wage workers in other countries. However, it also could drive up prices for imported goods, including automobiles, consumer electronics, oil – and therefore gasoline – and everyday retail items.

The border adjustment tax is a key feature of House Republicans’ efforts.

It provides the revenue – more than $1 trillion over a decade – to help pay for lower overall tax rates.

or manufacturing and research overseas.”

There is widespread agreement that the current tax system is too complicated and picks too many winners and losers, compelling companies to make businesses decisions based on tax implications instead of sound business reasons.

But there is no consensus on fixing it.

Brady said the border adjustment tax is just the kind of bold change that is needed to unleash the economic might of American workers and companies.

“America can’t become competitive and certainly can’t leapfrog into the lead pack of the most competitive places on the earth for that new job and that new investment unless we go bold on tax reform,” Brady said.

Competing in business

Thumbs up: To seven Cary-Grove High School students, who will travel to New York for a national business competition this spring. The students qualified for the competition by finishing second in the State Business Plan competition at Northern Illinois University. The youth business national competition will serve as an excellent opportunity for these students to put something forward that will be evaluated on a national level.

Thumbs up: To Dr. Amir Heydari, a Crystal Lakebased surgeon, who shared the story of his experience at O’Hare International Airport after returning from a trip to Iran. Dr. Heydari didn’t embellish his story or offer hyperbole. He was merely questioned for an extra few minutes. But he did offer some sober, thoughtful concern about the treatment of immigrants following an executive order on a travel ban from President Donald Trump.

Thumbs down: To Woodstock Willie’s prediction of six more weeks of winter. McHenry County’s favorite Groundhog Day prognosticator emerged from his tree stump Thursday and saw his shadow, pushing an early start to spring back by several weeks. Of course, if a longer winter looks anything like January, that’s not too bad, either. (We know, we know. It was just two weeks ago today, in this very space, when we gave a double “Thumbs down” to the unseasonably warm winter we’ve had. We’re a bit fickle on this topic, and with pitchers and catchers scheduled to report in just over a week, and the Cubs loaded and ready to defend their first World Series title in 108 years, we’re now anxious for spring to get here.)

Thumbs up: To Huntley High School, for establishing an off-site alternative school program for students struggling at the main high school. There currently are 25 students enrolled in the program, which allows for shorter hours on-site than a regular school day. Classes are completed online and supplemented by small group instruction. Because students can move at their own pace with teacher supervision, they are able to finish lessons quicker and catch up, school officials say. The program is optional. Students and their parents can work with their counselors, deans and social workers at the school to figure out when it’s best for them to enter and leave it. Other schools have similar programs where students can learn in an alternate environment, including Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155, Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300 and Woodstock Community Unit School District 200.

Chance to teach Iran a lesson

Iran’s recent test of a medium-range ballistic missile is an early indicator that it doesn’t fear the bellicose rhetoric of Donald Trump any more than it did the passive approach of Barack Obama. Unfortunately, the Trump administration’s immediate response – National Security Adviser Michael Flynn said the U.S. is “officially putting Iran on notice” – seems straight out of the Obama playbook.

The president needs to get beyond his vague campaign statements about standing up to Iran. When the regime breaches its obligations under the 2015 nuclear pact – or even tests its boundaries – the U.S. needs to be ready with specific penalties.

One possible step is delaying the sale of 80 passenger jets and parts by Boeing. These planes are not just vital to resurrecting Iran’s commercial airline industry; they could be used to ferry military supplies to Tehran’s

proxy forces such as Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist group.

The U.S. could also levy more sanctions on people and entities – Iranian and from other countries – involved with the Revolutionary Guard Corps, the elite military force that has gradually become the state’s biggest industrial conglomerate.

The message would be clear: Do business with Iran’s military, and lose access to the U.S. banking system. And Washington’s best leverage continues to be the financial measures that have kept Iran from getting its hands on much of the formerly frozen global money that was theoretically freed up by the nuclear pact. Trump should warn them that future missile tests will make the U.S. increasingly less willing to cut a deal.

The Obama administration tended to look the other way at Iran’s missile testing. So it was a refreshing contrast to see

the new U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, call the test “absolutely unacceptable” and promise strong countermeasures.

But such a response isn’t likely to come via the Security Council, where the U.S. called for an emergency meeting and where Iran’s new ally Russia holds veto power. The Trump administration has another option: working with the U.K. and other allies on potential bilateral punishments, or – more likely – on steps to keep their corporations from rushing into the Iranian economy.

Iran has frightening goals: creating a so-called Shiite crescent from Tehran to Beirut, destabilizing its Middle Eastern rivals, and becoming a global geopolitical player. The U.S. can do more to counter these ambitions, but it shouldn’t have to act alone.

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.

VIEWS Austin Berg [my students] to make the mistake of staying here because it’s the only thing they know.”

Local governments shouldn’t be hiking property taxes when so many people are heading elsewhere and teachers feel compelled to offer students an exit plan. That’s a recipe for disaster.

Homeowners deserve a property tax system that will give them security in their homes and certainty in the future.

They deserve relief.

That’s why comprehensive property tax reform is a key part of a new plan to balance the state budget without tax hikes: “Budget Solutions 2018” from the Illinois Policy Institute.

The first step in the Institute’s plan is a five-year property tax freeze. No longer will Illinoisans see local property taxes rise faster and faster as their personal incomes stagnate. But a freeze isn’t enough. Illinois needs to make its local governments accountable again.

Lawmakers must pursue several different reforms.

For one, the state must make it far easier to consolidate units of local government, which often do not provide unique services and come with expensive and duplicative bureaucracies that residents must fund through property taxes.

Illinois has by far the most units of government in the nation, at nearly 7,000. But right now, it can be more difficult to get rid of a unit of local government than it is to amend the Illinois Constitution.

Further, curbing wasteful spending habits at the local level requires eliminating state subsidies that block accountability.

That includes ending revenue-sharing agreements that fuel excessive spending; stopping pension subsidies that allow school districts to dole out higher administrative pay, pension spikes and other unsustainable perks; and doing away with the special carveouts in the education funding formula that shift state dollars to districts with property tax caps and special economic zones.

Some local governments will cry foul at losing even a dime of state money. That’s to be expected. But this is where the final step of real reform

comes in: eliminating costly state mandates imposed on local governments.

Local leaders who actually want reform are currently handcuffed by Springfield. The state must empower local officials to drive the best bargain for taxpayers.

Right now, one-size-fits-all collective bargaining rules drive up the cost of contracts for public projects. The most expensive workers’ compensation costs in the region consume hundreds of millions of public dollars. And outdated prevailing wage rules often mandate six-figure salaries and benefits for basic construction work.

All three of these items require bold reform, because all three are baked into property tax bills.

Ultimately, until state and local lawmakers can look residents in the eye and say they’ve tackled the property tax problem head-on, don’t expect families to stick around.

Mentors like Mr. Grigg will continue to tell the truth. And Illinoisans will continue to listen.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Generous and caring man

To the Editor: Three years ago, Lee Jennings, supervisor of Nunda Township, approached the University of Illinois Master Gardener program in Woodstock with a dream. His office overlooked three acres of land that was neatly mowed and used occasionally for Girl and Boy Scout campouts. The idea he dreamed of was to make some of that land available for Master Gardeners and volunteers to grow vegetables to be given to the Crystal Lake area food pantries for people in need.

In its first year, the garden provided 1,000 lbs. of produce. Last year, in conjunction with the McHenry County Health Department, 10 plots were used by people in need to learn new skills, gain exercise and to grow their own food. The Nunda Garden continues to improve with money coming from grants and donations from local businesses.

On June 9, 2016, the Northwest Herald had a wonderful article regarding this project. Search for “Nunda families” on NWHerald.com website to view it.

I am not only a Master Gardener, but also a Nunda resident. I have seen Lee take a deficit budget making it a surplus, including reducing my taxes by 5 percent.

Lee is running for re-election as Nunda Township supervisor on Feb. 28. Please come out and vote for this generous and caring man.

We need a leader

To the Editor: I have lived in McHenry County for 33 years. The real estate taxes continue to skyrocket and many in the current administration disregard the need to control costs and be fiscally responsible.

Andrew Gasser is running to be our next Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner. Andrew is an honorably retired U.S. Air Force Captain who will bring fiscal discipline, transparency and accountability to an office in which we all know is so desperately needed. A leader on our McHenry County Board, Andrew is always advocating for property owners. He courageously stood up against the political establishment when no one else would.

Andrew is not one to make excuses of why something cannot be done. His experience managing people over a 20year military career is a bonus that our township will welcome. It is time we elect

someone who will not wait until they have a primary opponent to start cutting taxes.

We need a leader. We need Andrew Gasser to be our next highway commissioner.

Wall a waste of billions

To the Editor: Building a wall on our southern border is not only not necessary, it is a waste of billions.

If both parties were really serious addressing the issue of what to do about the 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants in the country, which I don’t believe they are,

then the answer is rather simple: Crack down on businesses and contractors that employ them and their visa overstays.

Enact legislation that would impose a $50,000 fine for each illegal immigrant employed by a business or contractor after a six-month period. That would allow businesses the opportunity to clean their rolls.

This would probably result in higher costs for Americans that replace a roof, resurface a driveway, have a deck installed or have a tree taken down.

No jobs means very few illegal immigrants.

Todd Grigg teaches the importance of dollars and cents.

For more than 20 years, students in Grigg’s consumer education class at Triad High School in Troy, Illinois, have learned how to buy their first car, how to pay for college, and how to balance a checkbook.

But last week was different. Grigg taught one of his most painful lessons of the year: property taxes.

“There’s no doubt,” he said. “In our area and in our state we’re losing people because of high property taxes.”

Grigg is on the front lines of a problem plaguing communities across the state. Illinoisans pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation. And that’s driving people to seek greener pastures elsewhere. Due to Illinoisans’ rapid flight to other states, the Land of Lincoln has been the only shrinking state in the region for the last three years running.

Each year during his tax lessons, Grigg stands in front of a map. And he details opportunities beyond Illinois’ borders.

“I feel I have an obligation to tell them because I care about my students’ well-being more than my state’s well-being,” he said. “I don’t want

Pro- or anti-Trump?

Businesses pushed to pick a side amid boycotts

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Uber’s CEO quit President Donald Trump’s business council. Nordstrom stopped selling Ivanka Trump’s fashion. Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Toyota, meanwhile, suffered through the discomfort of being on the receiving end of Trump Twitter tirades.

The Trump era is a perilous new landscape for corporate America. Companies are feeling political pressure like never before, squeezed on one side by consumers who are boycotting products with any ties to the administration and on the other by the outspoken, social media-loving president.

For most companies, the decision to get political used to be made after long, careful deliberations among a company’s leader, public relations team, lawyers and lobbyists. Now, in an increasingly divided America, companies may have no choice but to move quickly.

“You have to understand your customers in real time because political ramifications are happening instantly,” said Matt Friedman, a crisis communications adviser based near Detroit who has worked with public and private companies. “Each business now has to look at where their customer fits into the political divide and how their company values align to what the president is doing on a day-to-day basis.”

The predicament for companies was on display ahead of Trump’s first White House meeting Friday with his business forum, a group that includes General

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, poses Dec. 13 during the launch of its bike-sharing product, uberMOTO, in Hyderabad, India. Kalanick has quit President Donald Trump’s council of business leaders, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.

Motors CEO Mary Barra, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and a dozen others.

The night before, Uber’s Travis Kalanick told his employees he’d decided to quit the council because his presence on it was being “misinterpreted” as an endorsement of the president.

“I spent a lot of time thinking about this and mapping it to our values,” Kalanick told employees in an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.

Disney CEO Bob Iger didn’t attend either; instead he was at a company board meeting in California.

A seat on a high-profile White House council, no matter the political party in power, has previously been a can’t-passup sign of prestige. It’s a direct way for a company to express opinions to the president – far less fraught than trying to gain access through lobbying or donating money.

Trump said he intends to take advice from the council, which he said would meet regularly to discuss policies.

Trump said he’d be seeking guidance on his plans to roll back the financial services legislation known as the Dodd-

Frank bill from JP Morgan’s Dimon.

“There’s nobody better to tell me about Dodd-Frank than Jamie,” he said Friday.

But an audience with this president, at least at this stage, brings with it customer complications. No doubt weighing into Kalanick’s decision to give up that influence was the boycott the ride-sharing company, popular in urban, largely Democratic areas, had been experiencing all week.

That campaign went viral on social media Jan. 28 when people perceived Uber as trying to break a taxi strike to and from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport that was in response to Trump’s executive order suspending the country’s refugee program. It didn’t let up even after Uber publicly condemned Trump’s executive order and contributed to relief groups.

Shannon Coulter, one of the organizers of the “Grab Your Wallet” social media effort to encourage boycotts of companies tied to Trump, said she would only be satisfied when Kalanick resigned from the presidential forum, saying: “This is not a ‘seat at the table’ moment. This is a flip-the-table moment.”

Grab Your Wallet claimed another victory Thursday night when Nordstrom announced it had stopped selling first daughter Ivanka Trump’s fashion line. The company cited the brand’s performance. The department store was one of Grab Your Wallet’s first targets.

Neiman Marcus also appears to have stopped selling her jewelry.

‘Deadpool’ star Reynolds being honored at Harvard

President Donald Trump is seeking prayers for Arnold Schwarzenegger over ratings for “Celebrity Apprentice,” the show Trump once hosted. Addressing the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday, Trump said ratings went “right down the tubes‚“ and the show’s been a “total disaster‚“ since the actor and former California governor debuted as host last month.

Trump tweets that actor ‘tried hard’ to make TV show work WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger “tried hard” to make “Celebrity Apprentice” a success, but has failed.

In an early morning Twitter post Friday, the president kept alive a theme he brought up a day earlier during his first appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast.

Trump, who once hosted the NBC reality TV show, took a pot shot there at Schwarzenegger, the current host and former California governor, over a ratings nosedive for the show.

On Friday, Trump said in his tweet, “Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice ... but at least he tried hard!”

Schwarzenegger responded quickly to Thursday’s remarks in a video on his verified Twitter account, suggesting that he and Trump switch jobs.

His response to Friday’s dig from Trump came later in the day in the form of a tweeted link to a 2006 article from the Los Angeles Daily News reporting that he, then governor, had released his tax records. Trump, as a candidate and now as president, has refused to release his own tax records.

Schwarzenegger had no further comment beyond the linked article, said his representative, Daniel Ketchell.

The article “speaks for itself,” Ketchell said.

Lighten up

Craving a fresh dining room? Try a white table

L

By ELIZABETH MAYHEW • Special to The Washington Post

ike fashion, decorating trends come in waves.

One day, everyone wants a Sputnik light fixture in their foyer, and the next they want a Moroccan Beni Ourain-style rug on their living room floor. If my clients’ wishes are any indication of what the next trend will be, then I’m predicting light and bright dining rooms are the upcoming craving du jour.

In the past few weeks, three clients have called wanting to lighten up their dining rooms. When asked why, they all said the same thing: They wanted these underutilized rooms to be happy, uplifting and airy. The dark wood furnishings they had installed 10 or so years ago – the ones Photo provided courtesy of CB2 via The Washington Post they used to think of as warm and cozy – now feel too seriCB2’s Aqua Virgo Dining Table ($49, www.cb2.com). Every kind of china, glass, flower and ous and boardroom-like. linen looks good on white tables.

Their desire for change partly is driven by the fact they all want to use their dining rooms more – particularly during the day – so a lighter, fresher design seems more attractive and inviting.

I also attribute their change to today’s ever-growing influence of Scandinavian design that favors lighter woods and paler colors.

Although there are several ways of giving my clients what they want – repainting the walls, changing the window treatments – I have urged them to start by making the biggest piece in the room, the dining table, white. I like white tables because they are crisp and clean and because every kind of china, glass, flower and linen (not to mention food) looks good on them. The clients also have dark wood floors, so a white table immediately will lighten a large horizontal swath of the room. Although white dining tables are plentifully available on the market, the clients, for various reasons, will be transforming their existing tables.

One client had her walnut table custom-made – she loves the shape of the table, just not the finish. So the best solution is to have it sanded, stripped and white-lacquered. The process is not inexpensive; Harry C. Johnson & Son, a Maryland-based furniture restorer and refinisher, estimated refinishing her table would cost about $2,800 and would

Bungalow 5’s Norwalk Dining Table in white ($3,650, www.houzz.com) take 10 to 15 days. Of course, pricing varies based on the size, condition and complexity of the table.

Another client’s dining table has a dark industrial concrete top so heavy visually and literally the only way to get it out is to break it or have it craned out.

The table is in an eighth-floor apartment.

To give the table a facelift, I enlisted the help of the client’s architects, New Yorkbased Moschella/Roberts Architects, who suggested making a quarter-inch to half-inch thick white Corian top that will be adhered to the concrete with a special

epoxy. They also proposed adding a thicker knife edge that tapers to a sharp point around the perimeter of the table to reduce the visual weight of the tabletop and conceal the concrete below.

As for the dining chairs, my clients are keeping their existing chairs, and one client plans to re-cover the seats in a lighter fabric. We all agree: Their chairs will look fresher when paired with a white table, the chairs’ shapes will stand out more, and the juxtaposition will make the rooms look more interesting.

Want to buy a white dining table?

Here are some of my favorites: • Design Within Reach’s Saarinen Oval Dining Table • Crate & Barrel’s Spotlight White Dining Table • CB2’s Aqua Virgo Dining Table • West Elm’s Parsons Dining Table • Bungalow 5’s Malta Dining Table in white • Bungalow 5’s Norwalk Dining Table in white • Pier 1 Imports’ Extension Antique White Dining Table • Hive Modern’s Paper Table • Design Within Reach’s Min Table

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening?

Brenda’s degrees are in education, and Tom’s are in educational administration.

Brenda didn’t get interested in gardening until she moved into her first house and started planting daffodils and other hardy bulbs. Tom became interested as a young boy, when he became friendly with an old man named Mr. McKenzie, who walked by his house every day on his way to and from his garden. Tom asked him where he went each day, and Mr. McKenzie began stopping to talk to Tom. He would bring him things from his garden.

What is your gardening specialty and why? Tom is the one with the green thumb. Brenda really enjoys weeding and watching/learning about the insects she finds in the garden.

What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it.

We just downsized from 14 acres, where we had everything – shade, sun, vegetables and water gardens. Now we have to figure out what will work in containers and in our courtyard.

What motivated you to become a Master Gardener? What projects do you volunteer for within the organization?

For years, when we were both working, we attended Gardenfest – we’d pore over the classes offered and pick what we wanted to learn about that year. We would take tons of notes and then compare them during the lunch break. Brenda went through the training in 1999, when she was on a leave of absence from her job. A few years later, she was hired as the Master Gardener program coordinator. Tom wanted to learn more about the vegetable gardening and spend more time with Brenda so he went through the training in 2007. We both really enjoy the people

Healthy diet restricts psoriasis Dear Doctors: I’ve had psoriasis for close to seven years, and lately it has been flaring up more often. Is there anything I can do with my diet to control this, or even prevent it from happening?

Dear Reader: That’s a good question.

Thanks to the growing body of research detailing the link between inflammation and chronic disease, there are some equally intriguing answers. To explore it further, let’s start with what psoriasis is.

When you have psoriasis, your immune system has gone a bit haywire. It’s sending faulty danger signals that cause skin cells to grow at 10 times their normal rate. That’s much faster than your body can process and shed them, and the result is raised and itchy patches of red skin, often covered with silvery scales. Typically, these appear on the knees, elbows and scalp, but may also be present on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and along the torso.

Although there is a complex genetic component to psoriasis, environmental factors also are at play. Stress, infection, certain medications, smoking and alcohol use all have been shown to be potential triggers for flare-ups.

The results of that research we mentioned make it increasingly clear inflammation is a factor in many chronic and degenerative diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and many cancers. Since inflammation plays a significant role in psoriasis, a lot of attention now is being paid to your question of whether diet may affect the disease.

Due to the way psoriasis behaves, drawing conclusions can be difficult. Flare-ups are followed by periods of dormancy, which give way again to subsequent flare-ups. Since the nature of the disease is to fluctuate, connecting the dots between a specific dietary or behavioral change, and the absence or presence of flare-ups, is a challenge.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier Still, scientists are beginning to find answers. In studies of psoriasis patients whose diets included fish oil supplements to add omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, a measurable number of participants reported fewer and less severe flare-ups. When they stopped following the diet, the benefits also waned.

Gluten sensitivity also may play a role.

In a study of individuals with antibodies to gliadin, one of the proteins that are present in wheat, following a gluten-free diet lessened psoriasis symptoms. When gluten was reintroduced to the diet, flare-ups became more frequent.

If you’re interested in modifying your own diet, the National Psoriasis Foundation offers some guidelines. Foods to add to your diet include leafy green vegetables and colorful fruits such as spinach, kale, broccoli, squash and blueberries. Foods that are a natural source of omega-3 fatty oils also are on the list. They include cold-water fish, olive oil, walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

The foundation recommends people with psoriasis avoid processed foods, refined sugar and fatty red meat. Research shows maintaining a healthy weight is important as well.

The idea is when you have an inflammatory disease, steering clear of foods with inflammatory effects can help. Whatever the outcome, the result is a more healthful diet.

ber of reasons why you weren’t invited. Their daughter and her fiancé may prefer the money her parents would have spent on a large wedding be given to them instead so they can save for a down payment on a house or condo; it will be a small, intimate affair with family only; they are paying for the wedding themselves and don’t have the money to invite all of their parents’ friends. My advice is to wait and see how this plays out.

sicians Committee for Responsible Medicine: “Children raised on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes grow up to be slimmer and healthier and even live longer than their meat-eating friends.” However, not all doctors feel this way and advise that around 8 or 9 months complete proteins be introduced into a baby’s diet to ensure the child gets enough iron.

This is why this very important subject should be discussed with your child’s pediatrician to help you decide what is best for her.

how friendly your husband’s divorce was, and how much contact he has continued to maintain with his ex’s family. While I agree that caring for his former father-in-law should be his children’s responsibility, I would have to know more about this than you have written because there may be extenuating circumstances.

That your husband would be willing to do this – occasionally – speaks well about his level of compassion and character. But if this is ongoing, I can see why you would be uncomfortable about it.

Dear Abby: I have been a vegetarian since I was 6 for ethical reasons, and I would like to raise my unborn daughter to be one, too. The problem is my parents and five sisters don’t agree. They say I will be depriving her and I should let her make her own choices. They also said they will do as they please, even after I explained I always would have her food prepared in advance.

I don’t think this should be our responsibility.

Secrets will be divulged and emotions will spin out of control if you don’t take the high road and stick to the truth. Set the standard rather then getting caught up in other people’s dilemmas. Question others’ motives and integrity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Size up situations and make your move based on what you discover. Refuse to get involved in other people’s problems or let anyone meddle in your affairs.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Thinking about days gone by will help you reflect on what and

whom you miss from your past. If you plan a get-together for old friends, you’ll encourage new beginnings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Do something that will make you and the ones you love happy.

Plan a trip or an outing that will bring you closer together. Love and romance are featured.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Share your knowledge and learn from information offered to you in return. You’ll be enlightened if you interact with people who come from a different background than you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be a good Samaritan. Indulge in activities that are geared toward helping others to feel satisfaction as well as have the good fortune to meet people who will influence your future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t expect everyone to agree with you. Arguing will not solve problems, but offering incentives and finding ways to compromise will help you reach your goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Travel, education and personal improvements all are highlighted. The way you present yourself will have a bearing on the people you attract. Romance is in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Protect your home, family and finances. Be smart when it comes to investments. Not all deals will be in your best interest. Travel and communication will lead to valuable information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Look for unique solutions to any problems that transpire. Getting along with your peers and your family or

roommates will make the difference between success and failure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be brave and ready to express your feelings. You won’t be able to clear up what isn’t working if you aren’t honest about what you want out of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Physical alterations to your surroundings or personal appearance will encourage you to bring about positive changes to your lifestyle. Love and romance will improve your existence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Avoid excessive behavior or impulsive actions. A stable, steady pace toward a safe and happy lifestyle is in your best interest, regardless of what anyone else does. Distance yourself from self-destructive people.

Box of New Plastic Bags Earl Nightingale, who was nicknamed the Dean of Personal Development, said, “All you need is the plan, the road map and the courage to press on to your destination.”

A bridge declarer knows his destination and should always have a plan, but in some deals his road map is clearer than on others. This deal was misplayed by a computer program; I think a human would have done better if West produced the same revealing overcall.

West made a Michaels Cue-bid, showing at least 5-5 in the majors. It was tempting, but debatable opposite a passed partner, because if EastWest did not win the auction, the opponent was being given a great road map. North’s two-spade cue-bid showed a maximum pass with five or six clubs. (A two-heart cue-bid would have been at least game-invitational with diamond support.) South made a strange-looking takeout double over three hearts and ended in five diamonds.

If West had led anything but a spade, the defenders would have come out on top, but he chose the spade 10.

South needs a lot of luck and should assume that West has 5-5-12 distribution. Declarer takes East’s spade king with the ace, cashes the diamond ace (great news!), then turns to the clubs. South pitches the heart eight on the third high club, ruffs a club and leads the spade jack (or eight). West wins and, say, leads another spade. Declarer ruffs with dummy’s diamond king, then discards his last spade on the high club eight.

East ruffs, but that is the second and last defensive trick.

Found on Route 120 in McHenry.

What to watch NHL: Blackhawks at Dallas, 7 p.m., WGN The Hawks, who ended a three-game losing streak Thursday with a 4-3 win at Arizona, take on the Stars.

McHENRY – McHenry sensed what could be coming from Prairie Ridge.

As well as the Warriors had played – defending Prairie Ridge well, knocking down shots and handling the Wolves’ intense ball press while taking a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter – they knew the outcome was far from decided.

“I told the guys that was going to happen no matter who they were playing,” McHenry coach Tim Paddock said. “[Prairie Ridge] has tough kids, they’re trying to keep a two-year unbeaten streak (in the Fox Valley Conference), they’re going to fight like heck.”

Turnovers mounted for McHenry.

Shots started falling for the Wolves. And somehow, Prairie Ridge cut the lead to one with 4.8 seconds remaining and Brian Dorn shooting a pair of free throws.

“He’s our best free-throw shooter (about 79 percent); he had a good ritual,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “I’ll live with a chance like that every day.”

Dorn missed twice, McHenry’s Matthew Mohr rebounded and Gavin Markgraff, the Warriors’ best free-throw shooter, was fouled. Markgraff missed the first, made the second and finally, when Prairie Ridge guard Trevor Potter’s half-court heave fell short, the Warriors exhaled and enjoyed a 53-51 boys basketball victory Friday night.

“It got closer than it should have, but when you want to win that bad, we had toughness,” said Markgraff, who hit six 3-pointers and led all players with 21 points. “We brought [toughness] and we just took care of the ball enough to win.

That’s huge.”

McHenry (13-10 overall, 8-3 FVC) handed the Wolves (16-6, 10-1) their first conference loss since the 2015 season, when Prairie Ridge was playing in the FVC Fox Division, which it won that year. The Wolves are one-half game ahead of Jacobs (9-1) in the conference standings.

McHenry hit the first basket of the fourth quarter for a 49-30 lead, its biggest of the game, before the Wolves’ pressure started cranking out turnovers. Potter, Dorn, James Queen and even reserve Joe Hansen hit 3s in the fourth. They hit only two 3s in the first three quarters.

“They’re going to fight like heck, we’re fighting like heck to win, that’s a tense situation,” Paddock said. “They hit some big shots and our basket started shrinking a little bit. Thank goodness we had the lead we had going in (to the fourth quarter).”

Hansen’s 3 from the left corner with 20 seconds to go was his only shot of the game. After that, Markgraff missed a

McHenry senior Matthew Mohr dunks against Prairie Ridge on Friday at McHenry West.

McHenry won, 53-51.

1-and-1 with 14 seconds to go before Dorn was fouled.

“We really focused on getting to our spots in the ball press and flying around as fast as we could,” Potter said. “It didn’t really hit me because it was such a large deficit, but coach Card always tells us just to keep chopping away, there’s not 15-, 16-point shots, you have to keep chipping away and play as hard as you can.”

Dorn, who led Prairie Ridge with 12 points, experienced back spasms after the game and visited McHenry’s trainer.

Austen Ferbet and Connor Kazin added nine points each.

Maki Mohr hit a pair of 3s in the first half and scored 10 points. Matthew Mohr added eight points for the Warriors.

“We tried to make them work for what they got and a couple things snowballed for us,” Card said. “Really, all you want at the end is a chance, and we had a chance.”

C-G trailed by seven at halftime and five entering the fourth quarter.

It relied heavily on Beaugureau and McCumber in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“We really just turned up the intensity at the end of the game,” McCumber said. “We boxed out a lot and got Timmerman off the boards a bit at the end.”

McCumber scored 11 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. He shot 7 for 8 from the freethrow line in that stretch. He scored a basket to cut Central’s lead to one with 1:23 remaining, then hit the free throw to tie it with 18 seconds on the clock before it went to overtime.

At the end of the first overtime, Beaugureau had a chance to win it but was called for traveling on a spin move in the lane. Central still had two seconds on the clock, but the Tigers’ half-court heave came just after the buzzer and was off the mark.

The second overtime was all Trojans. Danny Clarke hit a 3-pointer to open the period and McCumber scored six points to extend the lead.

on to defeat Dundee-Crown, 56-52, in a Fox Valley Conference game at South.

After an evenly played first quarter, D-C hit its first four shots of the second quarter to pull ahead, 24-20.

Gators senior Luke Nolan made sure the Chargers’ momentum was short lived. Nolan hit consecutive 3-pointers to put South up, 26-24, and spark an 11-0 run to end the first half. The Gators never trailed again.

The Chargers (3-18, 1-10 FVC) stayed in the game all night because of their rebounding and free-throw shooting, but whenever D-C had a chance to retake the lead, South (912, 5-5) got a big shot from either Kyle Leva or Tyler Haskin. Leva led the Gators with 16 points, including 10 in the second half.

“I really try to help out on defense as much as I can, but tonight I was able to help out on offense, as well,” Leva said. “I was in the right place at the right time most of the night and

was able to hit some shots.”

Depth was an important factor for South. Three of the Gators’ key players picked up their fourth fouls in the third quarter. The Gators got 25 points off the bench, led by Haskin with 11.

“When I picked up my fourth foul, I just took a deep breath and tried to stay positive,” Haskin said. “This was an important win for us and was definitely a team win.”

The Chargers shot the ball pretty well most of the night, but 23 turnovers proved to be the difference. D-C was led by Tariq Burns with 14 points and Gabriel Bergeron with nine.

“We had 23 empty possessions tonight because of turnovers, and they took advantage of our mistakes,” D-C coach Lance Huber said. “It was a one-possession game early in the fourth quarter, and we had three consecutive turnovers which really cost us. This has kind of been the theme of our season.”

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: BENET 76, MARIAN CENTRAL 61

Benet’s big 2nd half stops ’Canes

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – As hot as Marian Central was in the first half Friday night, connecting on better than 60 percent of its field goal attempts, Benet was equally as accurate in the second half.

After scoring only seven points in the first quarter, Benet’s shooters heated up and erupted for 69 points over the final 24 minutes to hand Marian a 76-61 East Suburban Catholic Conference loss at Landers Pavilion.

Senior Liam Lyman had 30 points and three 3-pointers for Benet (16-5 overall, 3-3 ESCC), including 18 in the second half, and senior Jack Nolan added 21, also hitting three 3s.

“I think the big difference is they (Benet) went ahead and started making their shots,” Marian coach Jim Sarther said. “No. 21 (Nolan) and No. 23 (Lyman), we knew they could go ahead and get hot. They did, and we let them have a little too much air.”

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Marian Central’s Jack Moscinski (team-high 23 points) had to leave the game with blood on his jersey after he was fouled in the fourth quarter and about to shoot two free throws. Moscinski, who normally wears No. 3, checked back in as No. 34 after Jack Schneider shot his free throws. quarter on an 11-1 run, getting a 3 apiece from Nolan, Lyman and Justin Enochs. The Hurricanes, who didn’t trail in the first 24 minutes, were unable to answer Benet’s run.

The Redwings outscored Marian, 50-25, in the second half after trailing, 36-26, at half.

“I think it was just motivation,” said Marian junior shooting guard AJ Golembiewski, who had 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting with three 3s. “We came out a little flat after halftime … a little too relaxed, which is something you can’t do, especially against a team like Benet you know can shoot lights out. You’ve got to stay out, and stay on them.”

Jack Moscinski and Golembiewski carried Marian offensively, combining for 40 points. Moscinski led the team with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including 16 in the first half.

Forward Sam Ohlrich was held to eight points and seven rebounds as Benet focused on shutting down the 6-foot-8 senior. Ohlrich was held scoreless in the first half, getting his first points in the opening minute of the third.

“Benet’s game plan at the beginning was to completely take Ohlrich out,” Sarther said. “They were dou-

bling him … really shading him hard even when he didn’t have the basketball.

“What that allowed was a big deal of cracks for Jack (Moscinski) to do what he does best, which is be creative with the basketball and get to the bucket and free-throw line. That’s why we had such a nice rhythm in the first half, because they were focused on not letting Sam beat them.”

Benet shot 57.9 percent (22 of 38) from the field and made 12 of 13 free throws. Marian, meanwhile, shot 50.9 percent (27 of 53) and made 13 of 20 free throws.

Golembiewski added six rebounds, while Jonny Preston and Thomas Menner had four points apiece for Marian.

“It’s tough when a team gets that hot to slow them down,” Moscinski said. “We tried moving the ball a little more, getting it down low. On defense, we needed to recognize their shooters better, and we needed to get more boards, too. It was tough. We just have to keep our heads up.”

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino PR’s Potts tops in MAC: Northern Illinois junior Ashley Potts was honored Tuesday as the Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Week.

The Prairie Ridge grad tied for first place in the all-around competition last week in a meet with Kent State and Southeast Missouri, posting a season high-tying score of 39 points. She tied for first on the vault (9.825) and was second on the balance beam (9.875) with a pair of season-best scores.

She also took second place on the uneven parallel bars (9.8) and 11th in the floor exercise (9.5).

The Huskies won the meet with 194.425 points, edging Kent’s 194.375.

SEMO tallied 190.5.

Vault king of Iowa City: Nate Richartz, a senior pole vaulter at Notre Dame, won the event at last weekend’s Black & Gold Premier indoor track and field meet at the University of Iowa.

Richartz, a McHenry East grad, won the event by clearing 17 feet, 2¾ inches, which was a foot better than three athletes who had the second-best vault.

Richartz’s winning height is his best this season and ranks 25th nationally. During the 2016 indoor season, Richartz won the Atlantic Coast Conference title and finished eighth at the NCAA indoor championships to earn All-America honors.

Augie’s most improved: Huntley grad Alex Ligeza was named D-III Augustana’s Most Improved Player in men’s soccer this week.

Ligeza, a freshman defender, started 17 of the team’s 18 games during the fall. He was one of 23 freshmen on the Vikings’ roster and was chosen for the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin’s Academic All-Conference list.

Standout St. Cloud student: Soccer midfielder Sarah Benhart (Crystal Lake Central), a junior at D-II St. Cloud (Minnesota) State, was named last week to the 2016 College Women’s Scholar All-North Region third team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

An English major, Benhart has a 3.9 GPA. In the fall, she played in every game for the Huskies and compiled a goal and an assist.

A new court filing detailed allegations that former Baylor football coach Art Briles ignored sexual assaults by players, failed to alert university officials or discipline athletes and allowed them to continue playing.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: BAYLOR

Court filing details conduct by Briles Ex-coach allegedly ignored assaults The ASSOCIATED PRESS WACO, Texas – A new court filing detailed allegations that former Baylor University football coach Art Briles ignored sexual assaults by players, failed to alert university officials or discipline athletes and allowed them to continue playing.

The filing is in response to a lawsuit against Baylor and several officials, including interim President David Garland, by former assistant athletic director Colin Shillinglaw, who said he was falsely accused of mishandling several incidents.

It said that in one case a masseuse asked the team to discipline a player who reportedly exposed himself in 2013. The court filing said Briles texted an assistant coach: “What kind of discipline ... She a stripper?”

Briles did not remove defensive lineman Tevin Elliott from the team or notify university officials even though two women accused Elliott of rape in separate incidents in 2012, the court filings noted.

There were several reports of gang rapes involving football players during Briles’ tenure. In one alleged incident in 2013, the victim

was a Baylor athlete. According to the filing, the woman’s coach went to Briles and showed him a list of players the victim had identified.

“These are some bad dudes. Why was she around those guys?” Briles is quoted in the filing as saying.

“The football program was a black hole into which reports of misconduct such as drug use, physical assault, domestic violence, brandishing of guns, indecent exposure and academic fraud disappeared,” the court filing said.

Briles was fired in May after an internal investigation determined the football program acted as if it was “above the rules.” That report said coaches and staff interfered with or tried to stifle investigations of sexual and physical assault.

The former coach Wednesday dropped a defamation lawsuit against three Baylor regents and a university vice president who he said had libeled and slandered him.

Briles’ attorney, Ernest Cannon, said the suit was dropped so that Briles could move on with his life.

Cannon declined immediate comment on the allegations in the new filing, saying he had not yet read it.

A knee injury kept Katie Barker off the court last winter for portions of her redshirt season at Ohio University.

It didn’t keep the Cary-Grove graduate from learning plenty about college basketball.

“The thing I mostly used my redshirt season for was just to sit back and watch,” Barker said. “I wish I could’ve used [last season] to get reps. But it gave me the opportunity to watch the people in front of me to see what they were doing.”

Those lessons have Katie Barker been beneficial this season for the sharpshooting Barker and the NCAA Division I Bobcats.

The redshirt freshman ranks fourth in the Mid-American Conference with a 40.4 3-point shooting percentage and has a team-leading 38 3s.

Thanks to Barker’s hot hand, Ohio (16-5) leads the MAC’s East Division at 7-3.

Barker is averaging 6.1 points and 13.1 minutes of playing time a game.

She has been at her best during the conference season. Barker produced career highs of six 3s and 18 points in victories against Buffalo and Western Michigan last month.

“I expected to come in and be able to hit open shots,” said Barker, who is playing at forward. “My teammates have done a good job of finding me when I’ve been open.”

The benefit of having a big game is two-fold, according to Barker.

“Not only does it boost my confidence, but it’s also boosting my teammates’ confidence in me,” she said.

Senior guard Quiera Lampkins leads Ohio and ranks second in the conference with 19.7 points a game.

Barker is one of seven players who average between 5.8 and 9.5 points in a balanced attack.

Barker credited the team’s six seniors, who have helped drastically reverse the program’s win production, for the Bobcats’ success. Four years ago, Ohio was 1-15 in MAC play.

“Our senior leadership really carries us,” she said. “When they came here, they were at the bottom of the conference. They’ve built themselves into a championship team. Their work ethic really helps us.”

The Bobcats, who have a one-game division lead entering Saturday’s 2 p.m. home game against Toledo, have eight games remaining before the MAC tournament.

“I just want to continue to make 3s and get my team to go on runs when we need it most,” Barker said.

HOUSTON – James Harden had 42 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists to rally the Houston Rockets past the Bulls, 121-117, in overtime Friday night.

Harden hit a step-back jumper over Paul Zipser with 36.1 seconds remaining in the extra period and was fouled. He made the free throw to give the Rockets a two-point lead they never relinquished.

After losing to Atlanta on Thursday night, the Rockets improved to 12-1 this season in the second of backto-back games.

The Bulls played without star forward Jimmy Butler, who was nursing a bruised heel. Starting in his place, Michael Carter-Williams had 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists before fouling out with two minutes remaining in overtime.

BULLS NOTES

Rockets retire Hall of Famer Yao’s jersey

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com

HOUSTON – Dwyane Wade saw Yao Ming in a Toyota Center hallway before the Bulls’ shootaround Friday morning.

“It’s your day,” the Bulls veteran guard said.

He was right. Yao’s No. 11 jersey was retired at halftime.

Former Rockets stars Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Tracy McGrady, Steve Francis, Dikembe Mutombo and Shane Battier – and NBA commissioner Adam Silver – were on hand to watch the ceremony. The 2016 Basketball Hall of Famer was greeted by players from both teams as halftime ended.

The Bulls played a big role in the former center’s upbringing.

“The Bulls have a big impact, for

sure, in China, especially on the second [title] winning streak,” said the eight-time All-Star, who averaged 19 points and 9.2 rebounds a game.

When he played in international exhibitions as a teen, he and his teammates would hunt down NBA-branded socks, including ones with Yao Ming Bulls logos.

“There were no Rockets socks,” Yao said to Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, drawing a laugh.

Michael Jordan made a major impact. Yao cited “mountains of people” who followed the former Bulls star when he visited China. He complimented Wade, too, saying it was “very fortunate that we still can watch him play.”

Yao’s impact was felt in Montenegro, where Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic grew up.

“He definitely inspired me,” he said. “Watching Yao, it was amazing.

“The big thing for me is he was so much a professional on and outside of the floor. You never hear anything bad about Yao Ming.”

Hoiberg and D’Antoni: Coach Fred Hoiberg almost played in Mike D’Antoni’s “seven seconds or less” system when D’Antoni coached the Suns.

“Unfortunately, I never got that chance to play in that system,” he said. “But I would have loved it.”

He thought he would.

“I almost played for him after my first open-heart surgery (in 2005),” Hoiberg said. “I went down and visited, and we pretty much agreed to terms. And then doctors stepped in and said, ‘What are you doing?’ ”

D’Antoni said Hoiberg “would have been a great fit with us,” calling him “one of the good guys.”

This and that: Forward Cristiano Felicio left in the second quarter with a strained right lower leg and did not return.

• Before the game, the Bulls had totaled 249 points in two wins this week, which Hoiberg chalked up to their ability to identify and quickly attack matchups that were in their favor.

“I think the recognition we’ve had has been really good the last two games, whether Dwyane has a smaller guy on him or guys have done a good job getting the ball before the defense gets set,” he said.

• Hoiberg said guard Rajon Rondo has been “terrific” leading the second unit, which features more cutting to the basket than the first.

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews said he and his teammates discuss politics in the locker room, but they are reluctant to make their opinions public. and called the ban “unfortunate” this week, but that’s been the extent of the NHL’s willingness to speak out, either for or against Trump’s policies.

It’s simply ingrained in hockey players at an early age not to make waves.

“There’s definitely the feeling that guys don’t want to attract attention to themselves, if it’s unnecessary and if it has nothing to do with what happens on the ice,” Toews said. “There’s that sense of team, where guys aren’t out to bring the spotlight on themselves.”

Besides, in the age of mass media and the internet, when every off-hand comment instantly makes its way around the world, players are more reluctant than ever to take a stand.

“If you know all the information, I think it’s fine to speak out,” defenseman Brian Campbell said. “I try to watch it and keep up to date, but I’m not going to sit here and say I know all the ins and outs, and say I’m the expert on it or anything. I ask friends and talk to teammates and we discuss what’s going on, but you don’t want

GOLF ROUNDUP

Steele, An lead Phoenix Open; Tiger withdraws in Dubai The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Brendan Steele and Byeong Hun An led the way at golf’s biggest party, Phil Mickelson had a classic Lefty adventure, and Justin Thomas cooled off in the desert.

An ran in a 35-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th Friday for his second straight 5-under-par 66 and a share of the Waste Management Phoenix Open lead. Steele had a 67 to match An at 10-under 132 at TPC Scottsdale.

Mickelson bogeyed the final two holes for a 70 that left him six strokes

back, while playing partner Thomas had a 73 to miss the cut by a stroke. Thomas was coming off a two-week break after sweeping the Hawaii events – and shooting 59 at Waialae – for his second and third victories of the season.

Mickelson tried to pull off a low-percentage shot from the left rough on the par-4 eighth – his 17th hole. Behind a small tree nearly 200 yards from the green, Lefty attempted to hit a sweeping slice with a driver, but the line drive didn’t cut as much as he wanted and rocketed through the large gallery lining the right side.

On the par-4 ninth, he took two shots to escape the right greenside bunker.

The 46-year-old former Arizona State player won the event in 1996, 2005 and 2013. He’s making his third start in his return from two sports hernia surgeries.

EUROPEAN PGA TOUR Dubai Desert Classic: At Dubai, Unit-

ed Arab Emirates, shortly after Tiger Woods withdrew Friday, the tournament was hit by strong winds that brought down some trees and forced the second round to be suspended.

Martin Kaymer and Rafael Cabre-

ra-Bello, tied at 4 under after both shooting 69s, had the lowest scores after two full rounds. But George Coetzee was at 9 under after eight holes at the Emirates Golf Club, and overnight leader Sergio Garcia was at 8 under.

Woods withdrew before starting his second round with back spasms.

Kaymer criticized the decision to suspend play.

“Hard to understand the difference between the morning play and now, therefore even more surprised about the decision @EuropeanTour,” the German wrote on Twitter.

• Saturday, February 4, 2017

GLENDALE, Ariz. – In the rampup to and the aftermath of this most unusual presidential election, politics has crept into almost every facet of society. It even has crept into the inner sanctum of the NHL dressing room, which, to hear a few of the Blackhawks tell it, frequently resembles your typical Facebook page.

“Even people who don’t normally have an opinion, all of a sudden they do,” Jonathan Toews said. “I wouldn’t say any of the discussions are very coherent. It’s just that everyone’s got their horse, and they’re sticking to that horse through thick and thin, instead of actually having a sensible conversation about it. It’s more divisive than anything.”

But good luck getting anyone to allow those private conversations to become public. While players and coaches in other sports – such as Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Spurs coach Greg Popovich, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry and Steelers lineman Ryan Harris, among others – have been outspoken critics of President Donald Trump’s administration and the temporary travel ban from seven predominantly Muslim countries that has been dominating discussion around the world, the hockey world has been characteristically silent.

Even Brandon Saad, whose father was born in Syria and who still has family there, told the Columbus Dispatch, “It’s not something I really want to comment on.” Toronto’s Nazem Kadri, a Muslim-Canadian, called Trump “pretty delusional” back in the early days of his candidacy

to be talking about things when you might not have all the information.”

A few players said political talk has gotten heated at times, and has generated some genuine tension over meals or at the hotel or at the rink. But usually it devolves into standard joking around. With seven Americans, and seven different countries represented on the roster, there’s a wide array of opinions. Dennis Rasmussen, a Swede, said he doesn’t pay as much attention to American politics because “I don’t feel like I can do anything here,” but is well-versed in the similarly changing political climate of his native country.

Toews said he only gets “worked up” when he hears someone “blindly supporting something when they don’t really know what they’re talking about.” Toews noted that there are “a handful” of Trump supporters on the team but was quick to point out he wasn’t one of them. In recent years, Toews has been more outspoken with his beliefs and causes, including combating climate change. In the insular world of hockey, even that can be controversial.

So if you’re waiting for a hockey player to speak out in support of a specific policy, or to rail against a specific person, don’t hold your breath. Those discussions are starting to happen in the hockey world. But they’re not leaving the dressing room.

“The only thing I’d ever really say is it just seems to be one team vs. another, instead of both sides working together and trying to fix the problem without getting their egos involved,” Toews said. “And the same thing happens with people who elect those people. You choose a side, and that’s just the way it’s going to be.”

U.S. wrestlers in limbo after Iran’s ban

By LUKE MEREDITH and NASSER KARIMI The Associated Press

American wrestler Jordan Burroughs saw this month’s tournament in Iran as a chance to redeem himself after a rough performance at the Rio Olympics.

It looks as if that won’t be happening.

Iran on Friday banned U.S. wrestlers from the freestyle World Cup in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order forbidding visas for Iranians, the official IRNA news agency reported.

A senior Iranian cleric vowed, meanwhile, that his country would continue its missile program despite threats from the Trump administration that it was preparing to levy new sanctions.

“Training comes to a halt. We’re like, ‘OK, what do we do now? Where do we go? Where do we compete?’ ” said Burroughs, a four-time world champion. “I’m just bummed. I love Iran. I love their people, and I don’t get into politics.

I wasn’t going to make a political stance.

I was going to compete.”

IRNA quoted Iran foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi as saying a special committee reviewed the case of the U.S. team for the tournament, and “eventually the visit ... was opposed.”

The competition, one of the sport’s most prestigious events, is set for Feb. 16-17 in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah.

Ghasemi said the policy of the new U.S. administration left Iran no other choice but to ban the wrestlers.

USA Wrestling, the sport’s domestic governing body, said in a statement it hasn’t officially been told it won’t be allowed to compete. The group added that if that is the case, USA Wrestling is “extremely disappointed” in what it calls an “unacceptable situation.”

“We don’t think politics (should) have any role in this. But, unfortunately, sometimes you can’t control that,” USA Wrestling executive director Rich Bender said.

Burroughs, a 2012 Olympic champion and long viewed as the face of wrestling, has yet to compete internationally since leaving Rio without a medal.

“These decisions, these executive decisions, are always so far beyond your

reach,” he told The Associated Press.

“Like, you always feel like, ‘Well, the presidency or these strict laws or these Muslim bans or whatever you like to call them, they’ll never affect me.’ This is one of the few times where something so personal has occurred. Almost like it (was) handed down from the president to us. It’s a bummer.”

U.S. freestyle wrestlers have competed in Iran since the 1998 Takhti Cup in Tehran, which followed an absence of nearly 20 years. Since then, Americans have attended Iran-hosted wrestling competitions 15 times.

The Iranians have made 16 visits to the U.S. as guests of USA Wrestling since the 1990s.

“Crazy! I’ve never been more welcomed by any country in the world and now we can’t even enter the country!”

U.S. wrestler Reece Humphrey tweeted Friday.

The 2018 freestyle World Cup is in Iowa City, Iowa, and the Iranian team is expected to qualify.

“Though we had hoped for a different outcome from Iran’s Foreign Ministry, we appreciate the complex nature of this decision,” said Nenad Lalovic, president of United World Wrestling, the sport’s international ruling body, said in an email to the AP. “We are currently working to find a solution for the freestyle World Cup as soon as possible.”

Wrestling is extremely popular in Iran and is rooted in an ancient practice of combining the sport with physical education and meditation.

FIBA wants to end ban on religious headgear

By BRIAN MAHONEY AND DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The international group that governs basketball is close to eliminating a longstanding ban on religious headgear in competition, clearing the way for athletes to wear hijabs, turbans and yarmulkes in international competitions.

FIBA told its playing rules committee at a recent meeting to create a proposal that outlines how headgear can be worn safely during games. The goal is to approve the changes at a meeting in May, the organization announced this week.

The move comes after a two-year study and not long after a letter published on social media and sent to FIBA president Horacio Muratore. It called for the end of the rule and was signed by

U.S. Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad was among the signers of an open letter to FIBA president Horacio Muratore, asking for an end to the ban on religious headgear in basketball competition. a dozen WNBA players, including Breanna Stewart, tennis greats Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova, and U.S. Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad.

“I am a Muslim, and I think anybody should have the right (to wear headgear),” said Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried, who also signed the letter and won a gold medal with the U.S. in the 2014 Basketball World Cup. “Jewish – hey, if you’re Gothic, whatever your religion is – Muslim, Christian, Catholic, it doesn’t matter. You should be able to support your religion and wear whatever is part of your religion.”

The rule banning religious headgear was enacted 20 years ago and wasn’t meant as a ban against any religion, and stood without complaint until recently.

Some groups have interpreted the provisions of the rules on uniforms as a ban against the participation of players of certain faiths. According to FIBA, headgear was banned for safety reasons in case it fell off and someone would slip on

it or become entangled.

Other sports have relaxed such regulations.

The International Football Association Board, soccer’s governing body, in 2012 approved headscarves for female Muslim players, reversing a ban that had been enforced since 2007. FIFA, soccer’s governing body, said the next year that men could wear head covers during matches, provided they were the same color as the jersey, had a “professional appearance” and did not “pose any danger.”

“I am against discrimination in all forms, and the headgear ban serves to discriminate based on religion and unfairly impacts the participation of women and girls,” Stewart said. “There is no legitimate safety concern, so why have it?”

12 SUPER BOWL LI: PATRIOTS VS. FALCONS, 5:30 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX

Will another star-in-waiting emerge?

HOUSTON – When Super Bowl LI kicks off Sunday in Houston, it will be two years, three days and about 20 hours since the Patriots’ Malcolm Butler made one of the most famous plays, and became one of the unlikeliest heroes, in Super Bowl history.

Entering Super Bowl XLIX, Butler was an unBEARS drafted rookINSIDER ie free-agent cornerback Hub of West Arkush out Alabama who had played in only 11 games and totaled 15 tackles – nine of them coming in two games – and four passes defensed.

It was his stunning interception at the goal line with 20 seconds to play that gave those Patriots their rings.

Butler said he was as surprised as anybody when his moment arrived.

“We all fantasize and have a vision of making a big play and things like that,” he said, “but sometimes we think if we dream too big, it’s never going to happen.

“It most definitely happened to me.

I didn’t have it in my mind that way, but it happened that way.”

The unexpected star is a bit of a tradition in Super Bowl lore dating all the way to Super Bowl I, when a 34-year-old Max McGee, an 11-year veteran with only four regular-season receptions, had to replace Boyd Dowler, after the starter injured his shoulder on the third play of the game, and went on to catch seven passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

Adding to the moment, McGee had starred in spite of breaking Vince Lombardi’s curfew the night before and staying out until 6:30 Sunday

New England Patriots linebacker Shea McClellin, a former first-round draft pick for the Bears, prepares for a play against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 18 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. morning with two flight attendants he met in the team’s hotel bar.

Over the years, others such as Raiders linebacker Rod Martin (XV), Washington rookie running back Tim Smith and backup quarterback Doug Williams (XXII), Rams linebacker Mike Jones (XXXIV), Tampa Bay DB Dexter Jackson (XXXVII), the Pats’ Deion Branch (XXXIX) and Giants wideout David Tyree (XLII) have carried on the tradition of emerging from relative obscurity to dictate the outcome of the world’s biggest sporting event.

New England, in particular, lends itself to the unexpected star thanks to

the way Bill Belichick constructs his ballclubs around the team-first and everyone-do-your-job mantras.

He said of the process, “We have acquired a lot of players by trade that we fit into our roster the last few years.

“It is a process where team building can come from a lot of different ways – waiver wire, draft, draft choices, trades, free-agent signings, street free agents and so forth.

“We just try to make the best decisions that we can at whatever point and time those decisions are available to be made.”

With all of that in mind, the question of the moment would be, do the

Pats have another superstar in waiting – and just who might it be?

An informal poll of NFL coaches, players and media this week has yielded the names of James White, Dion Lewis, Malcolm Mitchell, Michael Floyd, Shea McClellin, Elandon Roberts and Eric Rowe as being among New England’s likely unlikeliest Super Bowl heroes in waiting.

White told me he hasn’t thought about the possibility, but he does have a plan to make it happen.

“Just know my role. When I step on the football field, just try to do the right thing to help this team win.

Everybody on this team knows their role.”

Although Floyd is relatively new to the “Patriot Way,” he also has a gameplan.

“You just have to make sure that you’re prepared to, whatever happens, that you’re the next man up that can go in there. The speed of the game, there won’t be any letdown on that.”

Lewis isn’t expecting it to be him, but he won’t be at all surprised if it happens for one of the Patriots.

“Whoever is ready to step up. We have a great offense; a great group of guys. We have an explosive group, so any given day it could be any player.”

Have we found the next McGee or Butler, who knows?

What we do know is as balanced as this Super Bowl matchup appears to be, there is a good chance a still-unknown traveler once again will be the difference in the end.

Blip, or was this the year fans started tuning out NFL?

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press HOUSTON – It might have been a blip, explained as much by the mustwatch presidential debates as by some wholesale turn away from football.

Or, decades from now, 2016 could be remembered as the season fans started falling out of love with the NFL. TV ratings declined 8 percent, with the presidential election partly, but not solely, to blame. Many of the league’s highest-profile contests were boring blowouts, including eight of the 10 playoff games leading to Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Patriots and Falcons.

Two NFL teams abandoned fan bases in St. Louis and San Diego in favor of their previous home, Los Angeles, where neither team had played for decades. And the Raiders are considering leaving Oakland for Las Vegas, which, for all its renown as America’s gambling capital, never has supported its own big-league team.

Roger Goodell A key segment of fantasy football, as big a driver of NFL growth as anything in recent years, saw its massive numbers plateau. According to Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, entry fees for daily fantasy games in-

creased by 4 percent in 2016, compared with 222 percent the year before, as several states explored the legality of what some perceive as gambling.

All this was piled on top of ongoing narratives about concussions and their effect on players, a domestic-violence problem that hasn’t abated, Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protests and the leadership of a commissioner, Roger Goodell, who often is portrayed as heavy-handed and clueless on some of the league’s most pressing problems. Exhibit A: “Deflategate,” which led to the four-game suspension of arguably the league’s best-known player, Tom Brady.

Brady will close the season going for his fifth Super Bowl ring in a game

that will draw high ratings thanks to the decades-long hold the NFL has held over American sports fans. That the infatuation will last indefinitely, however, might no longer be a given. Baseball, boxing and horse racing once consumed the American public, but they don’t anymore.

“You’ve got bad games, [concussions] and drugs, and a declining interest in the game in general,” said Orin Starn, a Duke professor who studies sports in society. “When you throw in this welfare for billionaires with these stadium shakedowns, you wonder at what point the good will of ‘Joe NFL Fan’ is going to dissipate and people are going to lose interest in the NFL.”
