Good morning, McHenry County ...

Tips for a successful expo season It’s expo season!

In this day and age, when so much consumer selling is done without dealing with another individual, the personal touch is what our consumers crave, and expos offer a great opportunity for businesses to connect with the public.

Just a few suggestions to make expos work for your business: • Plan your booth well. It should be inviting, creative and memorable. You can do this by one large, graphically pleasing, easy-to-read banner. Make sure you include promotional takeaways and fliers to create a memory with the attendee once he or she leaves your booth.

The best booths have an activity pertinent to their business. One of the best I have seen was

by Black Diamond, which required attendees to solve a puzzle with pipes for their prize, of course, with a Black Diamond logo. Do something to keep children active.

• Send your A team. Often we see organizations send an individual who just baby-sits a booth, sometimes reading a book. Horrors, but no engagement. Make sure your A team is wearing apparel with a business logo.

• Make sure you stand at your booth. This stance engages the audience. It makes you appear approachable and ready to shake a hand.

If at all possible, stand in front of the booth, inviting attendees in to explore the wonders of your product.

• Have a raffle. While people are filling out a card for this drawing, ask them a few pointed questions. Example: Do you think you will be buying new windows within the next five years? We have a special sale for expo attendees. Are you interested? If the answer is yes, make certain you mark this card so you follow up.

• Follow up. It’s vital. Attendees will leave the expo and unfortunately get involved in their day-to-day lives. You must connect with them. Do not sit by the phone waiting for attendees to call!

• Set a rate of return for your investment and time. Depending on products sold, one customer can make the time and investment well worth your company appearing at the expo.

For others, it might be more.

Family of boy with leukemia helps others by collecting 1M pop tabs

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com LAKEWOOD – Jacob Matthaei of Lakewood was diagnosed with leukemia in November 2015 when he was just 3 years old.

“It was really hard to hear for my husband Mark and I,” said Jennifer Matthaei, Jacob’s mother. “It was totally unexpected and very devastating for everyone.”

Right after her son was diagnosed, Jennifer said he was immediately sent to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago for treatment, where he returns every month. While Jacob gets his treatment, his family stays at the nearby Ronald McDonald House, a charity that provides care for families of children with complex medical needs.

“We go down to the Ronald McDonald House the night before treatment, and we call it a slumber party,” Jennifer said. “Jacob loves when we do this.”

During their stay, the Matthaei family learned about a fundraising tool used by the organization, where people collect pop tabs from aluminum cans, send them to the Ronald McDonald House and the funds generated from recycling the aluminum help families in need.

The Matthaei family then decided they were going to collect 1 million pop tabs throughout Jacob’s three years of treatment, but were able to accomplish their goal in a shorter amount of time than expected.

“We launched the tab collection on April 5, 2016, and hit our million [tab] goal in just seven months,” Jennifer said. “It was because of the amazing support from the community it was accomplished so fast. We always knew we had an amazing circle of friends, and this showed how quickly they are willing to pull together to help.”

Jennifer said the idea to start col-

lecting pop tabs came from her daughter, Brynn, who also got West Elementary School in Crystal Lake involved.

“I asked my principal and school to make an announcement we need help collecting them,” Brynn said.

After the school heard Jacob’s story, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker, telling people about the fundraiser.

“We then had a bunch of people emailing us that they wanted to help out the cause,” Jennifer said.

Meanwhile, Jacob’s older brother, Andrew, 7, also wanted to get involved and is helping with the neighborhood collection.

“I told my friends to help, and then they told their friends, and then they told their friends,” Andrew said.

Jennifer said Jacob likes to help as well and is proud of himself when he finds some more aluminum tabs to donate.

“I wanted to make the other kids happy in the hospital,” Jacob said.

Last year, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana was able to raise more than $40,000 from their recycled pull tabs, which provides 800 nights of care and saves families $160,000 in food and hotel costs.

“I think this is a great example of a family who was dealing with a great amount of stress and turned that around into a positive way to give back to others.” said Kathy DeVries, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana.

The Matthaei family is not done collecting, as they are aiming to bring in 2 million aluminum tabs this year and are asking the community to help get involved again.

Those interested can drop off the tabs at West Elementary during school

Harvard High School conducts ceremony to honor local veterans

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Emmett Blazer, 90, wants the younger generation to realize what a great country America is and veterans events are good place to start, he said.

“It’s the best country in the world. I don’t know if they realize that or not,” he said.

Harvard High School held its annual ceremony Wednesday to honor local veterans, including 100-year-old World War II veteran and Harvard High School graduate Ray Carlson, who received a special award. The student-led event included speeches, poetry, music and videos. Veterans who graduated from Harvard were in attendance from all generations and branches of the military.

Blazer has lived in Harvard his entire life, not counting the two and a half years he served in the Navy during World War II. He transported wounded soldiers and said he enjoyed his time in the service.

“It really was a wonderful experience. I got to see a lot of stuff,” he said.

‘The best part of my job was bringing the troops back after the war.”

The veterans ceremony is one of the three Harvard School District 50 holds annually, Principal Rob Zielinski said.

“Crosby [Elementary] does [one] on Veterans Day, we do ours in February and the junior high does theirs in the spring,” he said. “That was at the request of our veterans. When we did it all in one day it was overwhelming.”

An event such as Wednesday’s makes it easier for students to relate to the concepts presented in their books and classes, Dean of Students Mike Patterson said.

Harvard High School Principal Rob Zielinski presents Ray Carlson, 100, a World War II veteran and Harvard High School graduate, with an award at a veterans assembly on Wednesday.

“Even though it’s drummed up all the time in the curriculum, [students] don’t quite have the understanding that this is a real person,” he said. “Once you put

these individuals in front of them and pay them the respect they deserve, the kids really get it and it drives the point home a little more.”

Man sentenced to prison for fondling woman in lingerie store

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man was sentenced to two years in prison after he admitted to fondling a woman in a lingerie store last year.

Eric D. Broederdorf, 45, of 216 First St., pleaded guilty before McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather to criminal sexual abuse, a Class 4 felony. In addition to prison time, Broederdorf

will serve one year of mandatory supervised release, and he also will be required to register as a sex offender.

He will receive credit for his time spent in McHenry County Jail Eric D. Broederdorf custody.

Woodstock police responded on the afternoon of June 26, 2016, to Redlight Boutique, 116 E. Cal-

houn St., for a reported sexual assault.

Police said Broederdorf physically restrained a woman with his hands and fondled her breasts over her clothes, prosecutors said. The woman was able to fight off Broederdorf before contacting police.

Neither Broederdorf nor the victim were employees of the business, police have said. Broederdorf was charged with criminal sexual abuse and unlawful restraint, Class 4 felonies.

Wonder Lake man facing two sets of heroin charges has bond revoked

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK — A Wonder Lake man facing serious drug charges from two arrests in less than seven months will remain in custody without bond until his case is resolved.

Brian M. Freund was arrested Feb. 1 while out on bond for allegedly selling heroin. McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcot- Brian M. ics Task Force detec- Freund tives made undercover heroin purchases from Freund after learning that he allegedly was selling drugs again after his first arrest in July.

Assistant State’s Attorney John

Gibbons, who also is chief of the criminal division, filed a motion this week requesting a hearing after learning that Freund, 30, was attempting to raise funds for his $500,000 bond through his narcotics supplier. They also had filed a motion requesting that his original bond be revoked.

Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ann Scholl said Wednesday she and Freund’s attorney, Hank Sugden, agreed to revoke Freund’s bond in each of his arrests.

Freund first was arrested 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. He turned himself in and posted $150,000 bond.

Prosecutors filed a motion in August 2016 arguing that based on the

defendant’s state of employment and his minimal earnings, any funds used to post bond might not be from a legitimate source. McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer, questioning the source, rejected $60,000 that Freund initially produced for bail, but Freund eventually was able to post bond that was accepted.

Freund is facing charges including unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a church, a Class 1 felony; unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class X felony; unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony; violation of bail bond, a Class A misdemeanor; and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

If convicted of the most serious charge, Freund could spend up to 30 years in prison.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Within three years, Lake in the Hills officials are hoping to replace the nearly 1,800 ash trees that were removed from parkways in the village after being infested with the emerald ash borer beetle.

The emerald ash borer is an exotic beetle native to Asia that attacks only ash trees. In McHenry County, the infestation first hit Algonquin in July 2008 and then spread throughout the area.

“I don’t think any community was prepared for this whole emerald ash borer disaster in the first place,” Lake in the Hills Village President Paul Mulcahy said.

At the Lake in the Hills Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday, trustees considered plans to remove the stumps of the infected ash trees and replace the trees. The items will be voted on at the next Village Board meeting, 7:30 p.m.

Thursday at Lake in the Hills Village Hall, 600 Harvest Gate.

The last infected trees in Lake in the Hills were removed in January, Public Works Director Fred Mullard said.

Village staff had budgeted about $178,400 for the removal of the stumps, Mullard said, but the lowest bid for the services came in lower than expected at about $40,300 for Alvarez Inc. “Their plan is to be able to do 75 stumps a day,” Mullard said, adding the stump removal will start soon and take less than six months to complete.

The stumps were not removed when trees were removed because the village

does not have a stump grinder, and the stumps are difficult to take out as they could be affecting infrastructure underground, Mullard said.

Tree replacement will take place over three years, Mullard said, and trees will be provided by Fox Ridge Nursery for an amount not to exceed $101,500.

The nursery offers a variety of trees including different types of oaks, elms and birch trees, according to village documents.

Public works staff will plant about 400 trees a year over three years, documents show, and a contractor will plant the remaining trees during 2018 and 2019.

Residents looking to immediately replace ash trees that have been removed in their parkway can hire a contractor to replace the tree with a village-approved species, and be reimbursed for half the cost up to a certain limit, Mullard said.

Those interested in doing so can reach public works by emailing pw@lith.org or calling 847-960-7500.

Algonquin General Services Superintendent Steve Ludwig said the village has replaced about 4,150 of the 5,022 infected trees it had in parks and parkways, and will continue planting this spring.

The silver lining of the beetle situation was that it allowed the village of Algonquin to bring more diversification to its urban forest, Ludwig said, because a variety of species was planted to replace the ash trees.

“The more different species of trees you have, the less you lose when something new comes,” Ludwig said.

Colonial Cafe celebrates Mardi Gras with special menu through February 18th!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese MardiGrasisaseasonofcelebration,feasting and fun in New Orleans. While traditional celebrations include parades, costumes, and music, a lot of attention is given to special food and drink offerings during this lively and entertaining February event.

A year ago, the culinary experts at Colonial Cafe created a limited Mardi Gras-themed menu to delight their guests and transport them to New Orleans through their tastebuds. Developing and testing a new menu typically takes about three months; their hard work paid off, because after the success of last year’s Mardi Gras menu, it’s back for 2017!

Colonial’s featured Mardi Gras appetizer is fried pickles. The pickle chips are crinkle-cut and battered by hand, with exceptional flavor and crunch. Cheesy grit cakes are the highlighted sideitem,andaretastyalongsideanyofColonial’s delicious entrees.

The Shrimp Po’boy Sandwich is made up of Louisiana-style grilled Cajun shrimp and remoulade apple slaw on French bread. The Creamy Cajun Pasta features Andouille sausage and Cajun shrimp blended into a creamy homemade Creole sauce over cavatappi pasta, and is served with cheesy Parmesan bread on the side. The Mardi Gras Jambalaya is created with Andouille sausage, Cajun shrimp, chicken, and rice simmered in Creole sauce, and is also accompanied by cheesy Parmesan bread.

For breakfast (served all day), consider Colonial’s Bananas Foster French Toast.

Although it’s a scrumptious breakfast item, it wouldn’t be out of place on a dessert menu, as it includes two thick slices of Brioche French bread, stuffed with cheesecake filling and topped with bananas and pecans sauteed in a buttery caramel sauce.

Colonial Cafe has also recently introduced a new craft beer and wine menu, with discounted specials Tuesdays through Thursdays and on Saturdays. Visit one of Colonial’s seven convenient locations to enjoy their limited-time Mardi Gras menu items! For more information, please visit:

Robert was a beloved father to his kids, Amanda, Andrew, Samantha, and Tielor Nehrlich and Zach Cairns, and a great friend to many.

As time passed his friends and family grew to calling him “Mr. Nice Guy” and that was what he was to each and every person he met.

He spent many days taking his kids to state and national parks, showing them the bright and joyous history of each place and the good memories they brought him. He thought and hoped to pass each of those memories and feelings on to his kids.

Robert was a man who lived and flourished in many places, but the one place he loved the most was his hometown of Chicago.

Being a man who lived everywhere and loved everyone, that one team he stayed true to was his beloved Cubbies. He was the happiest man as he watched them win the 2016 World Series.

Robert is survived by his wife, Kimberly (Dahl) Nehrlich; and his kids, Amanda, Andrew, Samantha and Tielor Nehrlich and Zach Cairns. He is also survived by his mother, Susan Nehrlich; and brother, Joel Nehrlich.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Energy, action, common sense and the desire to get ahead will result in good fortune.

Opportunity, negotiation and directly stating your goals, aspirations and strategies are all favored. A passionate approach to life and love will pay off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t stop when you should be moving full speed ahead. Set your course and turn your attention toward achieving what you set out to do. Personal physical improvements are featured, and romance is encouraged.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do what you do best without promising too much. Work quietly

on your own until you are satisfied with what you have accomplished. Don’t become trapped in an excessive situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Share your thoughts and feelings, and offer to lend a helping hand to someone in need. Your kind gesture will be met with an unexpected reward. Love and romance should be priorities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – An emotional matter will rock your foundation if you believe everything you hear. Take a step back and size up your situation before you make a move.

Avoid gossip and don’t reveal secrets.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get into the swing of things. Join an organization that can help you expand your contacts or offer you the experience you need to advance. An opportunity will

surface if you are forthright.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Stay alert and concentrate on the responsibilities you signed up for. Falling short at work, school or home will lead to unwanted criticism and disappointment.

promising, and physical alterations will add to your appeal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t feel pressured to make a business decision or change your course of action due to what someone else is doing. Stick to what is most familiar, and strive for perfection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Discipline and high expectations and hopes will bring good results, as long as you don’t overdo it. Setting parameters and guidelines will help you stay on track.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Applying pressure in situations that you don’t like will not bring the results you want. Diplomacy will be necessary, along with proper incentives and whatever else it takes to get your way.

Kennedy announces bid for governor

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chris Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, announced Wednesday he will run for Illinois governor in 2018, bringing the instant name recognition of his family’s political legacy to what’s expected to be a sharply contested race.

The Democratic businessman said Illinois is heading “in the wrong direction” under Republican. Gov. Bruce Rauner, who’s seeking re-election. In an email and video sent to supporters, he talked up history of service and said he wants to “restore the American dream to the people of this state.”

“Today, I am announcing my run for governor because I love Illinois, but we have never been in worse shape,” he said. “We don’t need incremental improvement – we need fundamental change in state government.”

Kennedy, 53, is the eighth of 11 children of Ethel Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, a former U.S. attorney general who represented New York in the Senate and was assassinated in 1968 while seeking the Democratic nomination for president. He is the nephew of for-

News from across the state Illinois House panel OKs abortion protection

SPRINGFIELD– Legislation that attempts to ensure abortion remains legal in Illinois regardless of what happens on the federal level moved to the House floor Wednesday.

The Human Services Committee voted 7-5 to endorse the plan to strike anti-abortion language inserted in the aftermath of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade.

Democratic Rep. Sara Feigenholtz’s measure would reverse language stating that if the ruling is ever overturned, abortion would again be outlawed in the Prairie State.

“We want to affirm that Illinois is a state where abortion will be safe and accessible,” Feigenholtz told the Associated Press. “There has never been such

Program promotes diversity in advanced classes

BELLEVILLE – Gov. Bruce Rauner is publicizing a program designed to make it easier for low-income and minority students to find seats in advanced-placement classes in high school.

The Republican and his education adviser – Beth Purvis – spoke with Belleville West High School students Tuesday about the Lead Higher Initiative. Illinois was first in the nation to be selected for the program last March.

A nonprofit group called Equal Opportunity Schools runs the initiative with the nation’s leading college preparatory programs. It works with high schools to identify and enroll students in college preparatory classes who might otherwise miss out. This helps schools more accurately reflect student diversity in their advanced classes.

Chicago archdiocese settles sex abuse lawsuit

CHICAGO – The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has agreed to pay $2.3 million to a victim of sex abuse allegedly committed by defrocked priest Daniel McCormack.

The settlement was reached with a man who claimed in a lawsuit he was 12 when he was sexually abused by McCormack. At the time, the priest was assigned to St. Agatha’s Parish on Chicago’s West Side.

The victim alleged he was abused before McCormack was arrested Aug. 30, 2005, on suspicion of sexually abusing a different child and again afterward.

The man’s attorney, Lyndsay Markley, said the lawsuit was filed in 2014 and was settled Jan. 5 to avoid the trauma of a trial.

Archdiocese spokeswoman Colleen Tunney-Ryan declined to comment on the details of the settlement.

McCormack pleaded guilty to multiple

The former chairman of the University of Illinois board of trustees, Kennedy founded and now leads Top Box Foods, a nonprofit organization that provides affordable, healthy food to Chicago neighborhoods.

He also serves as chairman of Joseph P. Kennedy Enterprises Inc., the Kennedy family’s investment firm.

He previously managed Chicago’s Merchandise Mart and is leading the development of a more than $1 billion project in downtown Chicago known as Wolf Point.

Kennedy, who lives in the northern Chicago suburb of Kenilworth with his wife and four children, has flirted with running for public office before – including a bid for U.S. Senate – but didn’t follow through.

He surfaced as a top contender for governor after he spoke to the Illinois delegation to the Democratic National Convention last summer.

Wheaton man arrested in death of ex-wife

WHEATON – A Wheaton man was heading for O’Hare International Airport for a flight to Hawaii when he was arrested on murder charges in the death of his ex-wife.

Authorities said 56-year-old Lee Leinweber is charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 30 slaying of 58-year-old Erin Leinweber at her home in Wheaton.

DuPage County Circuit Judge Richard Russo on Tuesday set his bail at $2 million.

Assistant State’s Attorney Tim Diamond said Leinweber decided to kill his ex-wife after they argued. Diamond said Leinweber provided heinous details of the murder to police in two separate recorded interviews.

The prosecutor said the suspect assaulted Erin Leinweber in several ways, beating and ultimately suffocating her.

Leinweber allegedly used her credit card to buy a one-way ticket to Hawaii.

Senate ‘silencing’ gives Warren national boost

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The turbulent national debate over race, gender and free speech consumed the normally staid Senate on Wednesday after the GOP majority voted to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren, abruptly elevating her celebrity status at a moment when liberals are hungry for a leader to take on Donald Trump.

The highly unusual rebuke of the Massachusetts Democrat came as the Senate weighed President Trump’s choice for attorney general, GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who secured confirmation on a nearly party-line vote Wednesday evening. It also gave frustrated Democrats a rallying cry weeks into a presidency that is dividing the country as few before.

“I certainly hope that this anti-free-speech attitude is not traveling down Pennsylvania Avenue to our great chamber,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned darkly as Democrats jumped at an opening to link the GOP’s conduct to that of Trump himself. “This is not what America is about – silencing speech, especially in this chamber.”

Republicans argued they were just trying to enforce necessary rules of decorum in a Senate that is a last bulwark of civil debate in an angry nation.

“I hope that maybe we’ve all been chastened a little bit,” chided the No. 2 Senate Republican, John Cornyn of Texas.

“We’re at a pretty challenging time in our nation’s history when many people who were surprised and disappointed at the last election are unwilling to accept the results. ... I only hope that after the passage of some time they will return to their senses.”

But the debate immediately took on overtones of race and gender. Warren was re-

Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., reacts to being rebuked Wednesday by the Senate leadership and accused of impugning a fellow senator, then-Attorney General-designate, Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., on Capitol Hill in Washington. Sessions was confirmed Wednesday. buked as she was reading a letter by Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott King, opposing Sessions’ ultimately unsuccessful nomination to a federal judgeship in 1986. Subsequently several male Democratic senators stood up and read from the same letter but without drawing objections, leading Democratic activists to proclaim that Senate Republicans were interested only in silencing a woman.

The moment inspired a Twitter hashtag, #LetLizSpeak, and clips from C-SPAN2 went viral. “By silencing Elizabeth Warren, the GOP gave women around the world a rallying cry,” fellow Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California said over Twitter.

Warren was chastised under a little-used Senate regulation, Rule 19, which bars any senator from impugning the motives of any other or imputing “any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming of a senator.” The Senate historian’s office could not immediately say when the rule was last invoked, but Democrats accused Republicans of selectively enforcing it. They noted the GOP did not apply

it when, for example, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas accused Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying in relation to a dispute over the Export-Import Bank two years ago.

This time, Warren drew a warning from the presiding officer as she quoted Tuesday evening from a letter written by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts that referred to Sessions as “a disgrace.” She continued with her speech, and began quoting from Coretta Scott King’s letter and an accompanying statement that accused Sessions, a federal prosecutor at the time, of using the power of his office to “chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens.”

Democrats are portraying Sessions as a threat to civil rights, voting rights and immigration; Republicans have defended Trump’s choice to be the top law enforcement officer as a man of integrity who will be an independent voice in the new administration.

McConnell stood and invoked Rule 19, saying that Warren has “impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama” in quoting the words from Mrs. King.

Permission granted to finish pipeline The ASSOCIATED PRESS CANNON BALL, N.D. – The Army on Wednesday granted the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline formal permission to lay pipe under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota, clearing the way for completion of the disputed $3.8 billion project.

The Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which is concerned a pipeline leak could pollute its drinking water, has vowed to challenge the Army’s decision in court.

The stretch under Lake Oahe is the final big chunk of work on the 1,200mile pipeline that would carry North Dakota oil through the Dakotas and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois. Energy Transfer Partners had hoped to have oil flowing through the pipeline by the end of 2016, but construction has been stalled while the Army Corps of Engineers and the Dallas-based company battle in court over the crossing.

The Army Corps of Engineers confirmed the easement was issued. The Army is involved in pipeline approval under the river because the Corps manages the Missouri River and its system of hydroelectric dams, which is owned by the federal government.

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose res-

ervation is just downstream from the crossing, has mounted legal challenges and led protests that drew hundreds and at times thousands of people who dubbed themselves “water protectors” to an encampment near the crossing.

ETP said the pipeline will be safe.

An assessment conducted last year determined the crossing would not have a significant impact on the environment. However, then-Assistant Army Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy declined to issue permission for the crossing Dec. 4, saying a broader environmental study was warranted given the Standing Rock Sioux’s opposition.

The Corps launched a study of the crossing Jan. 18 that could have taken up to two years to complete, but President Donald Trump signed an executive action six days later telling the Corps to quickly reconsider Darcy’s decision.

ETP has been poised to begin drilling under the lake. Workers have drilled entry and exit holes for the crossing, and oil has been put in the pipeline leading up to the lake in anticipation of finishing the project. CEO Kelcy Warren AP file photo has said the company should be able to finish the project in about three months Heavy equipment is seen Oct. 5 at a site where sections of the Dakota Access Pipeline were being buried near the town of St. Anthony in Morton County, N.D. once it has the go-ahead.

Republicans weigh health insurance ‘stabilization’

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Worried about the nearly 20 million people who buy their own health insurance policies, the Trump administration and congressional Republicans are weighing how to stabilize a wobbly market, government and industry officials say.

The goal is to soothe jittery insurance companies that may bolt next year, while reassuring consumers anxious about the future. That could also buy time for more ambitious GOP attempts to rework the Obama-era health care law.

Some of the changes can be carried out the new administration alone, but others require congressional action or cooperation.

The measures would affect not just those consumers on the subsidized marketplaces under “Obamacare,” but also people purchasing directly from an insurer or through an independent agent.

This year’s sharp premium increases in the health law markets also hit consumers buying individual policies on the outside, but they are not eligible for fi-

nancial assistance from the government.

No final decisions appear to have been made. Trump administration officials would not comment ahead of an expected Senate vote on confirming Georgia Rep. Tom Price as the new health secretary.

But a Republican congressional aide familiar with the internal discussions said the regulatory changes that the administration is considering Georgia Rep. include: • Tightening rules for Tom Price “special enrollment periods” that allow consumers to sign-up outside of the standard open enrollment window. Insurers have complained that some people take advantage of such opportunities to get coverage when they need care and later drop out, raising costs for everyone else.

• Loosening a provision of the Affordable Care Act that prevents insurers from charging older customers more than three times the premium for young adults. It’s unclear how this would happen, since the limitation is specified in the law. But the GOP aide

said the administration might be able to find wiggle room. Before the health law, insurers routinely charged older customers five times or more what younger people paid. The ACA has made insurance more affordable for older adults, but critics said that’s pricing out the young and healthy. AARP is already mobilizing to try to head off any attempt to make older customers pay more.

• Shortening the 90-day grace period to pay premiums for consumers who get subsidized coverage. Insurers complain this makes it easier for people to game the system.

• Shortening the current health law sign-up season, which runs about 90 days.

• Relaxing rules on how insurers structure their networks of hospitals and doctors. Republicans tend to think those should be set by states.

The GOP aide spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Another person familiar with the administration’s thinking said the points were on target.

A White House regulatory website lists a health insurance market stabilization rule as “pending review.”

The proposed changes mirror requests by insurers, who argue they would help check premiums. Last week, major insurers Anthem and Aetna said they are assessing their participation for next year. Anthem spelled out changes it would like, including some on the administration’s list.

Along with the administration, congressional Republicans would have a role to play in stabilizing the markets, by stepping back from several previous efforts to block “Obamacare” financing.

Chief among them is the fate of billions in subsidies that help low- and moderate-income people cover high insurance deductibles and copayments.

More than half of the consumers in the government marketplace get these subsidies. House Republicans have questioned their legality.

Other financing issues involve the health care law’s complicated internal system for stabilizing premiums.

After promising to quickly shred Obama’s law and replace it with a conservative approach, Republicans seem to be slowing down and thinking things over. Every lawmaker has thousands of constituents potentially affected.

Legal experts, Democrats and some Republicans criticized Trump’s remarks as jeopardizing the independence of the judiciary and attempting to use political influence to sway the courts.

Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court joined the criticism Wednesday in a meeting with Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.

Blumenthal said Judge Neil Gorsuch described the president’s comments about the judiciary as “demoralizing and disheartening.”

Gorsuch’s confirmation team confirmed the judge’s comments.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed the court that is deliberating his immigration and refugee executive order as being “so political,” part of a relentless pounding of the judiciary branch that prompted a rebuke from his nominee for the Supreme Court.

Speaking to a group of police chiefs, Trump said his immigration order was “done for the security of our nation.” He quoted from the portion of the immigration law that he said gave him the power to enact the ban, calling it “beautifully written” and saying “a bad high school student would understand this.”

“Courts seem to be so political and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what’s right,” he said. “And that has to do with the security of our country, which is so important.”

Trump’s comments come as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is weighing the appeal of his executive order on immigration, including a temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries. In a hearing Tuesday, judges on the appeals court challenged the administration’s claim that the ban was motivated by terrorism fears, but also questioned an attorney’s argument that it unconstitutionally targeted Muslims.

Since a lower court judge blocked the order last week, Trump has criticized the decision. He labeled the judge in the case a “so-called judge” and called

In his speech, Trump sought to link his comments about the court battle over his executive order to the law enforcement community in attendance.

“We have to allow you to do your job,” he said.

“And we have to give you the weapons that you need, and this is a weapon that you need and they’re trying to take it away from you.”

The president has repeatedly said people are “pouring in” since the ban was put on hold and suggested that blocking the order would be dangerous for U.S. citizens.

Wednesday morning he tweeted, “Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!” The administration has not provided any information to support his claims.

Customs and Border Protection, the agency in charge of screening people who arrive at U.S. ports, including airports, has not responded to multiple requests to detail how many visa holders from the seven designated countries have been allowed into the United States since a federal judge temporarily blocked the government from implementing the travel ban.

The State Department previously said fewer than 60,000 visas were provisionally revoked after the order was signed and those people would now be allowed to travel to the U.S. Trump’s order banned travel to the U.S. for people from Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. It also suspended the country’s refugee global program.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s moral blind spot Of all the strangely accommodating remarks President Donald Trump has made about Russian President Vladimir Putin, none is quite so startling and pernicious as his suggestion that the United States is morally equivalent to a ruthless regime whose critics keep getting murdered. For all its flaws, the U.S. is fundamentally different from the Russia of Putin, whose relentless pursuit of hegemony over his neighbors and the degradation of the West is founded in cynicism. Every U.S. president before Trump has embraced a contrary vision of American exceptionalism in which the country serves as a beacon of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. For Trump to casually equate the two is as false as it is shocking.

Trump was interviewed by Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly for a broadcast just before the Super Bowl. O’Reilly brought up Russia, and pithily declared: “But he’s a killer, though. Putin’s a killer.”

O’Reilly may have been referring to the many critics of Putin and his regime who have died in the past 17 years, including the opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, shot in the back near the walls of the Kremlin in 2015; anti-corruption investigator Sergei Magnitsky, who died in prison in 2009; former KGB man Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned with polonium in 2006; respected journalist Anna Politkovskaya, shot the same year.

Trump replied, “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. Well, you think our country’s so innocent. You think our country’s so innocent?”

O’Reilly: “I don’t know of any government leaders that are killers.”

Trump: “Well – take a look at what we’ve done, too. We made a lot of mistakes. I’ve been against the war in Iraq from the beginning.”

O’Reilly: “But mistakes are different than – ” Trump: “A lot of mistakes, but a lot of people were killed. A lot of killers around, believe me.”

To state the obvious, in the U.S, critics of the president are not poisoned or gunned down. By suggesting that U.S. military operations in Iraq are equivalent to such crimes, Trump repudiates the very notion of a foreign policy based on values.

The U.S. is far from perfect: Its history includes dark chapters both at home and abroad. But as President Barack Obama observed, American exceptionalism lies in its elevated aspirations, and in the nation’s capacity to reverse its errors through democratic reform. Rather than embrace that tradition, Trump’s rhetoric suggests he will mimic Putin in the naked pursuit of narrow interests and disregard for legality and morality. It is a doctrine that leaders of both parties, along with ordinary Americans, – The Washington Post should repudiate.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Move forward with Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines Among the headlines President Donald Trump made during his first week was one citing his executive order to clear obstacles standing in the way of the proposed Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines.

That is a good start, many may have reacted. Now, let’s move on to accelerating federal action on natural gas pipelines important to the country.

Former President Barack Obama held up the Keystone XL pipeline for much of his term in office, citing environmental concerns. That was despite the fact his own State Department investigated and concluded there were no environmental concerns about the pipeline, intended to bring Canadian oil to the United States.

Obama’s action on the Dakota Access pipeline was more egregious. The oil transportation line already was under construction when, late in his presidency, Obama chose to shut down work solely because of protests against the project.

Good for Trump for ordering federal officials to stand aside and allow construction of both pipelines. They will be better for the environment than other methods of transporting oil, not to mention safer.

During the Obama administration, federal officials consistently “slow walked” permitting and other actions needed to clear the way for construction of pipelines to carry gas produced here to processing facilities and overseas shipping terminals. As a result, a sub-

stantial amount of gas in our country has been locked up.

A gas company official put it this way: “Ours is an industry on a leash.”

Of course, considerations of safety, preservation of valuable natural areas and other environmental concerns should not be dismissed. No one has asked the federal government to do that.

But the Obama administration’s policy of hampering any fossil fuel initiatives it could not kill needs to end. If Trump’s order on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines does not make that clear to federal agencies, the president should pick up his phone or his pen and reinforce his intentions.

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 Scott Reader fellow from Peru, Illinois, named Pat Welch represented a broad swath of north-central Illinois in the state Senate. He sponsored some of Blagojevich’s most controversial budget measures.

That didn’t sit too well with the voters back home and he was voted out of office.

Almost immediately after the election, I heard Democratic lawmakers quietly say: Blagojevich had better “take care” of Pat. Eventually, Blagojevich hired him for a high-paying position in the Department of Revenue. And by all accounts, he did a fine job there.

And, of course, when Pat Quinn was governor, his administration became a safe haven for plenty of losers – particularly after the 2011 income tax hike.

We’ll never know for sure what was going through a particular law-

maker’s mind in the waning minutes of their political careers. But we do know some of these folks that the voters took off the state payroll ended up drawing state paychecks not long after their time in the legislature was through.

Just consider: • Former state Rep. Bob Flider became Quinn’s director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The job paid $133,273.

• Former State Rep. Careen Gordon was first nominated for the state parole board, but after state senators said they would not confirm her, the Quinn administration found a spot for her as a lawyer handling real-estate licensing. The job paid $84,000.

• The late State Rep. Mike Smith snagged a job with the Education Labor Relations Board that paid $93,926.

In fact, of the 12 lame-duck legislators who voted for the tax increase being pushed by Quinn in 2011, at least six were later hired by him.

So, when I hear Democrats clucking their tongues over Rauner hiring Munger, I just roll my eyes. This has been standard operating procedure

in Springfield for many years. It happened under Republicans and Democrats, alike.

That doesn’t make it right. It just makes it common.

Illinois governors like to follow the adage: Take care of those who take care of you.

And that’s why I find Rauner’s behavior disappointing. He presented himself to the voters as a businessman, not a politician. He pledged to change how the state operates and to run it like a business. Both are admirable goals.

But instead, we get the same old political shenanigans. State jobs shouldn’t serve as soft landing pads for defeated politicians.

After all, our money deserves to be handled more wisely.

Governor Rauner, we expect more from you.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Don’t repeal without replacement

To the Editor: The Affordable Care Act is not perfect.

What is the old saying? “Something is better than nothing?”

About 20 million people have health insurance because of the ACA. Can anyone imagine suddenly having your health insurance ripped out from under you without warning? This is what millions of Americans are facing, some having severe health conditions that require continuous treatments.

Congress has had six years to make improvements on the law while repeatedly trying to repeal it. Congress already has started to make statements on their methods of repeal, what about the replacement? No details.

If provisions of the law are revoked, such as pre-existing conditions, my entire family may face loss of benefits.

Cancer, arthritis, thyroid disease and high blood pressure could put insurance out of reach for millions more. If the maximum lifetime insurance provision is reinstated, a baby born with complications and spends time in the NICU could meet their maximum lifetime insurance benefits before their first birthday.

Many have the preconception that if they get their insurance through their employer, the repeal of the ACA would not affect their benefits. They are wrong.

Businesses base their benefits upon federal laws.

The ACA needs to be fixed, that is not in question. Congress needs to build upon what works, and fix what is not right. Congressional Republicans cannot put corporate profits ahead of constituents’ health and well-being.

Don’t pull the rug out from under millions of Americans. Health care is not for the privileged alone, it is a right.

SPRINGFIELD – When I heard last week that Gov. Bruce Rauner hired former Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger for a $135,000-a-year job, I just groaned.

It’s not that I have anything against Munger. She strikes me as a bright, talented individual, who showed herself to be more than capable dealing with the state’s finances during the most challenging fiscal time in its history.

But, let’s be blunt. She got her keister kicked in November by Democrat Susana Mendoza. Voters weighed Munger’s two years in office and found her lacking.

Sometimes, voters can be foolish.

(After all, these are the same folks who elected Rod Blagojevich – twice.)

Nonetheless, in a democracy, elections have consequences.

But in the 18 years I’ve covered Illinois politics, I’ve seen governors blunt those consequences time and time again with our money.

The characters change but the game stays the same.

Community banks hopeful as lawmakers target financial rules

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Community banks and small businesses are optimistic about changes the Trump administration and Congress have promised to laws that tightened supervision of the banking industry after the 2008 financial crisis.

The number of small, local banks has declined since the Great Recession, a change that advocates feel was intensified by the paperwork the increased oversight entails. That’s disappointing to many small business owners, who find it easier to form relationships with community bank branch managers and bankers than with those at regional or international banks. A community banker can advise them and steer business their way, for example, connecting a company owner with a new accountant.

“I need someone I can talk to who can understand the dynamics of a small business,” said Ken Yager, who owns Newpoint Advisors, a Schaumburg-based consulting firm. “With a big bank, you just disappear into an account number.”

Jeff Bridgman remembers when his community bank would cover an overdraft for his antiques business, knowing he’d have funds in the account within a few days. He had a close relationship with the employees even as the bank went through several mergers over 15 years. But a staff turnover at the bank, now one of the more than 200 branches of Northwest Bank, left him without the attention and support he had in the past.

“I don’t know how a bank could help

me today, so I don’t even consider them as a tool for growth,” said Bridgman, whose eponymous company is located in York, Pennsylvania. “The bank for me today is just a place for money to sit for a couple of days while I write checks.”

The U.S. had 5,521 community banks as of Sept. 30, down more than 25 percent from 7,442 at the end of 2008, when the banking crisis still was in its early days, according to the Independent Community Bankers of America, an industry group. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has reported nearly 500 bank failures since 2009, most of them small banks. Others have merged to cut costs and stay in business, but many have struggled even as the economy has recovered.

Industry groups blame increased regulation, including the Dodd-Frank bill passed by Congress in 2010. Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Treasury secretary to review Dodd-Frank and its thousands of regulations. Changes in the law would have to be made by Congress, and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling of Texas has proposed modifying portions that affect smaller banks.

Dodd-Frank has created additional procedures and paperwork for all banks, but community banks have a harder time meeting the requirements because they have far smaller staffs than regional or national financial institutions, said Paul Merski, the ICBA’s chief economist.

“You can’t say which provision it is that’s causing you concern. It’s more

“I don’t know how a bank could help me today, so I don’t even consider them as a tool for growth. The bank for me today is just a place for money to sit for a couple of days while I write checks.”

Jeff Bridgman

Owner of antiques business in York, Pennsylvania like death by a thousand cuts,” said Tim Zimmerman, president of Standard Bank, a Pittsburgh-area community bank with nine branches. “It’s exhausting management and staff of community banks around the country.”

The ICBA is advocating for several banking laws to be repealed or modified. Among them: • Rules under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act that sharply increased the amount of data banks must report to the government on each home mortgage application.

• Regulations still to take effect under Dodd-Frank that would require banks to collect and report information to the government about each small business loan application.

• Requirements on the amount of money community banks must hold in reserve to protect against losses from bad loans. Those requirements were put into effect after losses at the nation’s biggest financial institutions threat-

ened the world banking system.

The changes were intended to protect against failures such as Lehman Brothers in 2008, and community banks don’t pose a similar threat, the ICBA said. Community banks are likely to have several billions of dollars in assets each, according to the FDIC, while regional banks may have assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars and international banks such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo have assets into the trillions. Small business advocates say they’re feeling the reverberations.

“The overregulation has caused costs to go through the roof, many banks have been shut down and that has hit small businesses,” said Javier Palomarez, president of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Yager, whose firm specializes in helping financially troubled small businesses, uses larger banks for tasks such as money transfers, but depends on his community bank for most of his needs.

He finds community bankers more willing than larger ones to try to help companies succeed.

“They’ll ask questions like, what collateral do you have? Do you have a plan?

What have you missed in your business that could do to help make things better?” he said.

In the meantime, struggling community banks are expected to continue merging. Standard, the Pittsburgh-area bank, is in the process of consolidating with another area community bank, Allegheny Valley Bancorp, which has eight branches.

“We can’t afford to keep going the way we’re going,” Zimmerman said.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2017

NEW YORK – CBS News morning host Charlie Rose said he’s undergoing heart surgery to replace a heart valve that was installed in 2005.

The 75-year-old newsman’s surgery is scheduled Thursday. He said Wednesday he plans to return to work in March. He’s been a host of “CBS This Morning” since its start in 2012, and also has a long-running PBS interview show.

Rose said the surgery was his choice, unlike in 2005 when he had to undergo emergency surgery to replace the same valve while on an overseas reporting trip.

Grammys to pay tribute to Prince, George Michael

AP file photo

Madonna tours the Mphandura orpahange near Lilongwe, Malawi, with her two adopted children David Banda (right) and Mercy James (left) in April 2013.

Madonna faced sharp questions in Malawi adoption process LILONGWE, Malawi – Madonna was asked “uncomfortable questions” by a judge in Malawi during the pop star’s successful application to adopt more children from the southern African country, according to a court document obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

Judge Fiona Mwale detailed her reasons for letting Madonna adopt the 4-year-old twin girls in a ruling on Tuesday, saying she was satisfied that Madonna “is motivated by her desire to offer a home, love, protection and guidance.”

Madonna, who has two other adopted children from Malawi, previously described reports of a new adoption process as false, saying she was in the country for charity work. But on Wednesday she said in an Instagram post that “I can officially confirm I have completed the process of adopting twin sisters from Malawi and am overjoyed that they are now part of our family.”

The singer filed for adoption in a high court in Lilongwe, Malawi’s capital, on Jan. 25, court and government officials said. The Associated Press last month reported that she was seeking the adoption, but at the time she denied that any such proceeding was underway.

“The petitioner is a professional performer and I guarded myself against the danger of her merely reciting a well-rehearsed speech by asking her some rather uncomfortable questions to which she gave very candid answers,” Mwale said in her ruling.

Mwale said she didn’t challenge Madonna, 58, on Malawi’s residency requirements for adoption, saying the country’s Supreme Court of Appeal had addressed the issue in the pop star’s previous adoption.

Lady Gaga tells critics ‘I’m proud of my body’

LOS ANGELES – Sunday’s Grammy Awards will include special tributes to pop music icons Prince and George Michael.

Organizers announced Wednesday that the program will include two performances in honor of the stars who died last year. The announcement didn’t say who would perform the tributes.

Previously announced performers for this year’s show include Adele, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, John Legend, Bruno Mars and Metallica.

The “Late Late Show’s” James Corden is hosting the Grammys, which will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday night from Los Angeles.

Lady Gaga has a message for critics of her body: “I’m proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too.”

Gaga responded on Instagram on Tuesday night to those who took shots at her physical appearance during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show. She included a picture of herself in a bare midriff in her post. In the caption she writes: “I could give you a million reasons why you don’t need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you.

That’s the stuff of champions.”

Overall, Gaga won rave reviews for her high-energy show, which was watched by more than 117 million people.

LOS ANGELES – Disney CEO Bob Iger said the company will open its Star Wars-themed lands at California’s Disneyland and Florida’s Walt Disney World in 2019.

The 14-acre attractions were announced in 2015 and are under construction at the parks.

Disney said the lands will include attractions and entertainment alongside aliens and droids. The attractions represent the parks’ largest single themed land expansion ever.

During the company’s earnings call Tuesday, Iger also set an opening date of May 27 for the new World of AVATAR attraction at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.

Shearer sued Vivendi S.A. and its subsidiary StudioCanal in October alleging the companies fraudulently withheld profits and the rights to the characters from the 1984 film. Reiner directed and narrated the classic satire.

Adderall abuse becoming common Dear Doctor: I know that Adderall is prescribed to children with ADHD. But lately, I’ve been reading stories about college kids who use Adderall to help them study. What is Adderall and who should take it?

Dear Reader: You’ve hit on a topic that’s timely, complex and quite often controversial. When prescribed and used properly, Adderall can be beneficial. But as with any prescription drug, off-label use can create a host of problems.

Look at first-person accounts and you’ll find numerous parents of children with ADHD – that’s attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – who detail the ways that Adderall has helped their son or daughter. But it doesn’t take much digging to find that abuse of the drug is a growing problem.

Let’s start with the drug itself. Adderall is the brand name of a prescription drug composed of two stimulants – amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat children, adolescents and adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, a condition marked by a cluster of disruptive behaviors.

These may include agitation, lack of focus, disorganization, forgetfulness, fidgeting, excessive talking or frequent interrupting. Adderall is not approved for use by anyone younger than 6 years old.

As with all stimulants, Adderall increases the levels of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical known as a neurotransmitter, which plays a role in learning ability, movement, attention and in feelings of pleasure or even euphoria.

Adderall helps people with ADHD feel calm and remain focused.

The problem is that Adderall abuse among young adults is rising. According

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier to research conducted at Johns Hopkins University, the number of prescriptions for Adderall among young adults remains steady. However, levels of abuse, as well as visits to the emergency room due to adverse effects of that abuse, has spiked.

The newest research shows that misuse of Adderall is highest among young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. Although some may obtain their own prescriptions, most are either buying the medication illegally, or are getting it from family members or friends.

Between 2009 and 2011, the time period covered by the study, use of Adderall among young adults without a prescription rose by 67 percent. During that same time period, ER visits associated with non-prescription Adderall use rose by more than 150 percent.

The drug has a reputation as a study aid that increases concentration and sharpens focus. But non-prescription use of Adderall carries serious risks.

Common side effects include stomach upset, increased heart rate, dizziness, dry mouth and mood swings. Adderall is a controlled substance, and possession without a prescription is a felony.

The bottom line is that non-prescription use of Adderall for any reason is both dangerous and illegal.

is far too late for them to start learning about sex. By then, they have probably received an abundance of misinformation about it from their friends. Children are naturally curious about the world around them. That’s why “the talk” should start as soon as a child begins asking questions.

The facts don’t have to be given all at once; the conversation should be ongoing, with more information added in an age-appropriate way.

Dear Abby: My “boyfriend” and I are in our mid-40s. Three-and-a-half years ago, he was in a bad accident. Because our relationship seemed to be getting serious, he moved into my house. He was planning on returning to construction work a few months later, once his doctor cleared him.

Unfortunately, the doctor said he would never be able to resume work in construction. He applied for Social Security Disability and, after two years of paperwork and waiting, he was denied.

He keeps himself busy by painting pictures.

Occasionally, he sells one or two paintings online or through art shows. However, what he earns is not nearly enough to support himself. I had to take a significant pay cut at work, and I’m having a hard time supporting both of us. My savings are being depleted, and my credit card balance is skyrocketing.

I have told him repeatedly that he needs to get a job. He could work – he just can’t go back to construction. He insists he’s going to make it big selling art. I tell him art is his hobby, not his career. I have also told him that I’m a financial wreck and that I’m going to lose my house, but he doesn’t care. He says, “Buy a smaller house.”

I tell him he has to get a job or move out, but he doesn’t do either. I’m ready to sell my house and live in a small apartment by myself. But I can’t get him to leave. What can I do? – Over This in

Oakley ejected from Garden seats NEW YORK (AP) – Former Knicks star Charles Oakley was escorted from his seats at Madison Square Garden after an altercation near team owner James Dolan.

Oakley, who also played for the Bulls, appeared to shove security guards before they pulled him away from his seat behind the baseline during the first quarter of the Knicks’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Fans chanted “Oakley! Oakley!” in support of the popular power forward.

Oakley has a poor relationship with the team because of his criticisms of Dolan, the Madison Square Garden chairman.

The Knicks said in a tweet that Oakley “behaved in a highly inappropriate and completely abusive manner” and was being arrested.

T

here’s no special formula for Dundee-Crown’s seven-game winning streak, the longest in girls basketball coach Sarah Miller’s threeplus years.

The Chargers, who entered the season with the expectation of competing for the Fox Valley Conference title, struggled to a 2-6 start and dropped three out of their first five conference games.

On Jan. 4, D-C lost to Huntley, 35-27, tying a season-low in points and stumbling to 8-10 overall and 2-4 in the FVC – and the chances of winning its first FVC title since 2005 took a serious hit.

That’s when things started to turn around. D-C (16-11) has gone 8-1 since, with its only loss coming against Hampshire, 53-38, Jan. 10.

On Monday, the Chargers’ winning streak grew to seven with a key, 49-44 FVC win over first-place Hampshire. All seven of their wins during the streak have come in conference play.

To put that run in perspective, as impressive as it is, Huntley had won 34 straight FVC games before losing to Hampshire this season.

The win against Hampshire tied the Chargers for first place with one game left for both teams. On Tuesday, Huntley and Cary-Grove each won conference games, also moving to 10-5 and setting up a four-way tie for first place going into the final day of the regular season.

“I think it’s just staying hungry,” said Miller, whose Chargers went 15-18 overall and 4-6 in the FVC Valley and tied for third last season, going on to win their second straight regional title.

“It’s not thinking about the seven; it’s thinking about what got us there.

We’ve talked about, ‘Hey, you have to be confident; you have to be hungry.’ It’s the, ‘You might be in first, but you’ve got to practice like you’re in second’ mentality. It’s that hungriness and the hard work ... doing the little things.”

Hampshire last won the FVC Fox in 2015 (tied with Prairie Ridge), while Huntley has won the past three FVC Valley Division titles. Before that, C-G had won the past four FVC Valley titles.

Crystal Lake South at Cary-Grove, 7 p.m. lake Central and Grayslake North all left, leaving the FVC with nine teams.

All four teams tied for first place will play their final conference games Friday against non-title contenders.

D-C is led by senior forward Allison Michalski and guard Paige Gieseke, but the team is filled with many key contributors and role players, both starters and on the bench. Michalski was a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention last year, while Gieseke is the team’s floor general.

Lucy Atherton, a senior guard, started Monday and had five first-half points against Hampshire, while 6-foot-2 center Maddie Tripp (10 points), and junior guard Kennedy White (nine points) also came up with key buckets in the victory. Gieseke added nine points and five rebounds.

“We came out a little flat in the beginning, but now things are definitely looking up for us,” Gieseke said. “We’re just trying to keep it consistent and keep it going the way they are.”

Anna Kieltyka has been instrumental during the streak, as have freshmen Katelyn Skibinski, Cassidy Randl and Payton Schmidt, who is out for the season with a broken foot.

“We’ve been pushing each other really hard in practice,” said Michalski, who led D-C with 14 points and eight rebounds against Hampshire. “We’ve been talking a lot about when people aren’t filling their roles, how much it can damage the team. We’ve had people step up, and everybody is doing their part.”

White, who made her first appearance in almost a month Monday after breaking a bone in her left hand, said it was difficult to watch from the bench during the winning streak but exhilarating at the same time.

“It felt great, all the hard work and all of it coming together,” White said.

“Seeing how great of a team we can be ... we’re just working as a team finally.

This isn’t something we really saw happening, but we’re taking it one game at a time.”

D-C’s work is far from over. Next up is another tough game against Jacobs, which the Chargers narrowly defeated, 41-37, Jan. 6.

If this season has taught players and coaches anything, it’s that anybody can beat anybody else in this conference.

Thanks to its seven-game winning streak, D-C has a chance to cash in on its preseason goal of winning the FVC, even if it means sharing it with up to three other teams.

“We definitely didn’t see this coming, but we always expect the most,” Michalski said. “We have our goals and always knew that conference was on top. Once things started changing and (we) saw we had a chance, we started pushing each other even more; we just got in the mental mindset that we had to do this.”

WOODSTOCK – Wednesday night for Marian Central was mostly about focusing on what it needs to work on and honoring its seniors in their final home game, rather than trying to play giant-killer to two-time defending state champion Benet Academy.

“It’s hard for us to match up, but we go out and compete,” Hurricanes coach Tony Powe said. “I think you saw that they played hard the entire 32 minutes, and that’s all I asked: Go out, compete and play hard.”

The Hurricanes came out with the energy to challenge Benet, forcing a turnover and scoring two quick baskets for a 5-0 lead within the opening minute. It didn’t last long, however, as Benet scored the next seven points. Although two free throws tied it briefly, the Hurricanes never led again.

The Redwings led, 17-9, by the end of the first quarter and went on to beat the Hurricanes, 61-41, in an East Suburban Catholic Conference game at Marian Central.

4 BEARS

Franchise has no shortage of gall

This might be my favorite euphemism of all time. In the second paragraph of their news release announcing extensive ticket-price increases for the 2017 season – after going 3-13 in 2016 – the Bears referred to the changes as “price adjustments.” They could say this because the cost of 2,000 seats at 61,500-seat Soldier Field reportedly will decrease next season.

If what the franchise is doing is a price adjustment, then war is a peace modification, world hunger is a food correction and my lifelong inability to jump high is a celebration of gravity.

The Bears are not tone deaf. They do hear you, the fans. They simply don’t care what you are saying. Anybody in his or her right mind would understand that coming off a miserable three-victory season would be the absolute worst time to raise ticket prices. The mere prospect of raising prices should have led somebody, anybody, at Halas Hall to bang a shoe on a table and say, “We can’t afford to alienate our fan base any more than three straight losing seasons and one playoff appearance in the past 10 years already have!”

But we’re not dealing with people who can discern smart from not smart, and they can’t even use concussions as an excuse for a lack of good sense.

– Grace Shukis, Mikayla Knuth, Emily Radecki and Jacqueline Chmiel – got the start, along with junior Vannessa Garrelts.

“They’re a good group,” Powe said. “When they started out, I think there was maybe 12 of them as freshmen, and now we’re down to four, but they all have always done whatever they’ve been asked to do, they’ve always played their role – whether that was big or small, sit on the bench and cheer – whatever they’ve been asked to do they’ve always done. I’ll miss them.”

They contributed as well, with Knuth scoring eight, Shukis hitting a late 3-pointer, Radecki grabbing a couple rebounds and Chmiel scoring two points.

“It was great just because the four of us that have been in it we really have grown this great bond between us through all these years,” Knuth said. “For all of us to be out there at the same time playing was really great.”

Garrelts led the Hurricanes (10-17, 1-6) with a game-high 20 points, and Katrina Dionela added four.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey

The franchise hadn’t raised ticket prices since 2014. There seemed to be a good reason for that: They hadn’t fielded teams that merited more expensive tickets. That’s what makes Wednesday’s news so bizarre. The Bears are coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history. This is how you thank your fans? If chairman George McCaskey had a gambling problem, I think I actually would feel better about everything.

McCaskey talks often about the team’s devotion to winning, but very little in the family’s actions backs that up. The root of the problem wasn’t in acquiring Jay Cutler, although that was bad, or even in giving him a contract extension, which was terrible.

It’s that the McCaskeys can’t seem to hire the right people to make those sorts of decisions. There’s no one to tell them the right road to take.

There’s no one to say: “A ticket-price increase after a 3-13 season?

Are you out of your mind?”

There’s only someone to write to season-ticket holders, “Full payment is due on March 31.”

lar-season games in February go, it was a big one. The Hawks entered the game six points back and having played two more games than Minnesota. They needed a win to keep the division title within reach. A regulation loss would have put them eight points back, and still two games deeper into the season.

And as for the Wild, well, they’ve been chasing the Hawks for years.

“I think they’re the team that 29 other teams think they have to jump; we’re not special,” Boudreau said. “They won three Cups in six years, and when you do that, you’ve earned the right to have everyone bringing their best game to you, and they know that. We’re not different.

They’ve beaten us [three times] in the playoffs.”

The Hawks took a 1-0 lead on Ryan Hartman’s 13th goal of the season at 10:54 of the first. Vinnie Hinostroza – back in the lineup after two straight healthy scratches – created a turnover in the neutral zone and raced up ice before feeding Hartman in the slot for the goal.

Hartman has scored in three straight games.

Nick Schmaltz made it 2-0 only 69 seconds into the second period off a great feed by Toews, who had a vintage performance at both ends of the ice. He has three goals and seven assists in his past seven games.

But the Wild responded in a big way, dominating play for most of the rest of the period. Jared Spurgeon beat Crawford high on the glove side to cut the lead to 2-1 only 37 seconds after Schmatlz’s goal. Crawford did his best to hold on to

the lead, making big stops on Alex Tuch, Ryan Suter, Nate Prosser, Eric Staal and Charlie Coyle in about a four-minute span before Zach Parise finally broke through with the equalizer.

The Hawks challenged the goal because they thought Parise was offside, and replays seemed to support their case. But after an absurdly long review – more than six minutes, which included linesman Ryan Daisy talking on an iPhone – the replays were deemed inconclusive, and the goal stood.

After a few more nice stops by Crawford, the Hawks took the lead back at 17:24 of the second when Toews sent a pass into the slot for Niklas Hjalmarsson, who made a nice leave for Richard Panik, who tucked the puck behind Kuemper to make it 3-2.

But the Wild kept coming. Even after Crawford made big stops on Parise early in the third and Coyle later in the third, Minnesota – sprung by a questionable pick by Staal on Hjalmarsson – tied it when Marco Scandella fed Erik Haula on the doorstep at 16:57.

Crawford continued his brilliant play in overtime, denying Mikael Granlund in front and Suter on a breakaway.

BULLS

Knicks’ Anthony still could end up with Bulls

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com SAN FRANCISCO – Jimmy Butler talked to Carmelo Anthony three days ago.

It was a “catch-up” call, Butler said Wednesday.

What it should have been was a recruiting call, letting Anthony know that he still is welcomed in a Bulls uniform if he goes ahead and waives that no-trade clause to escape New York.

Don’t, however, rule out Butler making that call soon.

“That is half the battle,” Butler said, when discussing making a player from another team feel welcomed. “And I could still do that. I think everybody knows what Carmelo can bring to a team. The dude is a helluva player.

“But I think that we have some things that we’ve got to worry about here first in the next few weeks (leading into the trade deadline), before we go down that road.”

Anthony almost joined the Bulls as a free agent in July 2014 but opted to chase the money and stay in New York, re-signing with the Knicks for a five-

year, $124 million deal. Almost $50 million more than what the Bulls could offer at the time.

“It came down to Chicago and New York,” Anthony would say later that season.

“Chicago was the one from Day 1 (and) was something I was very impressed with. …

There was one point in time I was like, ‘Oh, I’m Carmelo going.’ ” Anthony So what has changed since?

Everything.

Anthony still loves New York, but New York no longer loves him. At least Knicks president Phil Jackson doesn’t.

The latest shot from Jackson came Tuesday in a tweet in the wake of a Bleacher Report article written by Kevin Ding that was critical of Anthony and his desire to win. By the way, Ding and Jackson have had a close relationship for more than a decade.

“Bleacher’s Ding almost rings the bell, but I learned you don’t change the spot on a leopard with Michael Graham in my CBA daze,” Jackson said in his

tweet.

Graham was a former Georgetown player Jackson coached in the CBA back in his Albany Patroons days, and ended up releasing because he basically was uncoachable.

Shots fired. Again.

It’s become obvious that Jackson wants Anthony to waive the clause so he can trade him and start the rebuild, and although there have been rampant rumors about LeBron James wanting his good friend in a Cavs uniform, Anthony actually has two friends with the Bulls in Butler and Dwyane Wade, and moveable pieces that make sense.

The Bulls can send Rajon Rondo, Taj Gibson and their first-round pick to the Knicks for Anthony. It would give Jackson another draft pick, an expiring contract in Gibson, and a veteran point guard for next season with Derrick Rose a free agent.

Anthony could slide into the No. 4 spot for coach Fred Hoiberg, give the Bulls another pure scorer, and more importantly help out an organization that many in the league believe values marketing over winning anyway. A poor man’s version of “The Big Three.”

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Wild were coming off a nine-day road trip, playing the second half of a back-toback after getting in from Winnipeg well after midnight, and were starting their backup goaltender, Darcy Kuemper, instead of their All-Star, Devan Dubnyk.

The Blackhawks, meanwhile, were at full strength and had three days off leading up to the game.

You wouldn’t have known it by watching.

The top two teams in the Central Division – the only teams in the league playing Wednesday night – put on a show, with the Hawks winning, 4-3, on Jonathan Toews’ overtime power-play goal.

The win was spearheaded by some of the Hawks’ biggest names – Toews (one goal, two assists), Duncan Keith and Corey Crawford (35 saves).

Wild coach Bruce Boudreau joked before the game that the Hawks were simply “trying to make us feel good” by deeming the showdown the “biggest game of the season,” in Patrick Kane’s words. But the truth was, as far as regu-

McHenry’s Albers sees Chaos Tackle grow OUTDOORS Steve Sarley There is nothing like muskie fishing. I’ve been fortunate to be able to fish for these beasts with Hall of Famers Spence Petros and James Lindner.

In the boat with experienced pros such as these gentlemen, when a strike occurs, the situation is handled with cool, calm professionalism by all in the boat.

Everyone has a job to do, and the jobs are performed calmly and efficiently to accomplish the task of getting the giant fish safely into the net. Pictures are taken and measurements are made, and then the fish is safely released.

Catching a muskie in a boat with a crew of not-very-masterful anglers is usually a different story. The most appropriate description might be that it is when all chaos breaks loose. I guess that’s why McHenry resident Rick Albers uses “when all chaos breaks loose” as his tag line for his successful muskie bait company, Chaos Tackle.

Albers is a 55-year-old McHenry resident who owns Albers Exteriors, a roofing and siding company, although the growth of Chaos Tackle might be pushing Albers out of the exteriors industry. He lives with his wife of 33 years, Jill. They have a daughter, Cara, and a son, Josh, who are both grown and out of the house.

It has always been about muskies for Rich Albers. Growing up in southern Wisconsin, he started fishing with his father “as soon as I was big enough to lift and hold a rod.”

Albers caught his first muskie in his teens. He said, “It’s not that we didn’t fish for muskies, it’s just that we weren’t very good at it. Now, it’s nothing but muskies for me.”

Albers founded Esox Assault Tackle seven years ago and began marketing muskie baits. He produced in-line spinners with size-6 blades called the Esox Assault Drone and the double-bladed Twin Drone.

Five years ago, the Chaos Tackle Company became available and Albers bought it. He expanded the Drone line of baits to include the EA and EAs baits in the wildly popular 8-, 9- and 10-sized blades. Albers’ spinners come in some truly unique skirt and blade colors.

“Our colors aren’t just painted,” Albers said. “The blades are coated with a transparent colored lacquer that allows the flash of the nickel blades to show through.”

The rest of the Chaos offerings are as unique and exceptional as Albers’ spinners. He offers a full lineup of hard minnow-style baits for twitching, cranking and trolling. Chaos has the 5- and 8-inch Mini, the 6- and 8-inch

topwaters and plastics, Chaos Tackle has it all.”

Chaos Tackle lures are available at many fine bait and tackle retailers, as well as at Rick’s website – www. chaostackle.com.

Classes at Cabela’s: Our good friend and top Lowrance electronics expert, Mark O’Neill sends word, “On Feb. 18, I will be holding my “Advanced Electronics Class” and have added the “Hands on With the Gen 3” event for April 8, both at the Cabela’s in Hoffman Estates. The hands-on class will be limited to 16 people, because I only have access to so many units for the class. I would suggest registering soon for this one if interested, because this program always fills up. For more information on both sessions, please go to: www. structure-fishing.com/Lowrance_ University_.html” Planning ahead: Here’s a quick request from regular reader and good friend Tom Brink of Cary: “Steve, This may be a bit morbid, but I am preparing end-of-life instructions on the disposition of my possessions. I was wondering if you knew of a nonprofit that could benefit from my collection of tackle. I’d rather see it go to a cause than get tossed or sold at a garage sale.”

Does anyone have any ideas for Tom? I’m quite sad to have to think about a world without Brink around.

Walk on Water Ice Fishing Derby canceled: Walk on Water is my favorite

ice fishing derby and it supports one of my favorite charities. Brent Beckwith and company spend 12 months busting their humps to stage a wonderful event for a fantastic cause. I was sad to receive the following: “It is with heavy hearts that the Board of the Andrea Lynn Cancer Fund is announcing the cancellation of the ice fishing derby portion of the Walk on Water Ice Fishing Derby scheduled for Saturday.

“The Andrea Lynn Cancer Fund will still hold a fundraising event at Lindy’s Landing, 115 Park St., Wauconda, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

For those who have already registered, you will still receive a goody bag stuffed with about $20 in prizes and gear, and your registration earns you five raffle tickets. We will hold several raffles inside Lindy’s Landing, giving away prizes that were secured for the event.

“Please direct any questions to Andrea Lynn Cancer Fund President Brent Beckwith via email at contact@andrealynn.org.”

Beaten boy invited to Wrigley

SOUTH ELGIN – A 12-year-old boy who was invited to Wrigley Field for a game

by Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo after suffering a severe beating at his middle school has returned home from the hospital.

Students at Kenyon Woods Middle School in South Elgin have worn Cubs gear in support of Henry Sembdner since the attack. Rizzo tweeted his invitation to Sembdner to watch batting practice and a game, saying he’d heard the seventh-grader was a Cubs fan. He sent him another message wishing him well after the family said he was out of the hospital.

The attack happened Friday after authorities said Sembdner bumped into another

Cubs get RHP Mills from Royals for OF Dewees

CHICAGO – The Cubs have acquired right-hander Alec Mills from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Donnie Dewees.

Mills was designated for assignment earlier Wednesday after the Royals signed free-agent pitcher Jason Hammel, who played last season for the World Series champion Cubs.

The 25-year-old Mills made his major league debut last year, going 0-0 in three games and giving up five runs in 31/3 innings. He was a combined 5-5 with a 3.22 ERA at Triple-A and Double-A. – Wire reports

GOLF PGA TOUR

AT&T PEBBLE BEACH PRO-AM Site: Pebble Beach, Calif.

Course: Pebble Beach GL (Yardage: 6,816. Par: 72); Spyglass Hill (Yardage: 6,953. Par: 72); Monterey Peninsula CC Shore Course (Yardage: 6,958. Par: 71) Purse: $7.2 million (First prize: $1,296,000) TV: Thursday-Friday, 2-5 p.m. (TGC); Saturday, noon-1:30 p.m. (TGC); 2-5 p.m. (CBS); Sunday, noon-1:30 p.m.

(TGC); 2-5:30 p.m. (CBS) Defending champion: Vaughn Taylor Last week: Hideki Matsuyama won the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Notes: The field features Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Phil Mickelson. ... The world ranking is so close among the top five that Johnson might have a mathematical chance to replace Day at No. 1, or he could drop two spots to No. 5. ...

The amateur field includes a quartet of current and retired NFL quarterbacks – Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith. ... Mickelson, a runner-up last year, gets another chance to tie Mark O’Meara’s record of five victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. ... Vaughn Taylor has not won in the 28 tournaments he has played since winning at Pebble Beach. His best result is 15th at the Safeway Open in October. ... Brandt Snedeker set the 72-hole tournament record two years ago at 265. ...

Mickelson, Snedeker and Johnson each have won twice at Pebble over the past 10 years. ... Spieth has finished in the top 10 in all three of his PGA Tour starts this year. He has finished in the top 20 in 16 of his past 20 starts worldwide. ... Of the 12 events on the PGA Tour schedule this season, only four of the winners are at Pebble Beach – Cody Gribble, Pat Perez, Mackenzie Hughes and Jon Rahm.

Pet of the Week ASHES 7 YEAR OLD FEMALE GRAY DMH She was adopted from us as a kitten. Her guardian was moving to a place that would not allow pets, so she came back to us August 2016. She is a big fluffy girl that weighs about 15 pounds. She has light green eyes, dark gray fur and she always has something to say. Because of her long fur she will need regular grooming. When she came back to Helping Paws, her world had been turned up side down and she was super stressed. She is now starting to get comfortable with being at the shelter. With people she knows, she enjoys getting petted and getting attention. She is now even starting to play a little.

She might be happiest as an only cat like she was for the first 7 years of her life. A quiet home with adults would be a good place for her. There would be no adoption fee to an approved senior citizen through our Senior to Senior program. Get to know Ashes at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. 815-338-4400 www.helpingpaws.net Please give Ashes a second chance for a happy life.

LITH singer/songwriter to perform at Listening Room

MORE SOUNDS NEWS & REVIEWS NWHerald.com

WHEN: 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 WHERE: The Listening Room, Lakeside Legacy Arts Park, 401 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Alyse, a pop singer/songwriter from Lake in the Hills, will perform covers and songs from an upcoming EP. Her latest single, “Angel of Light,” was released Jan. 20. She is working on the EP with four-time Emmynominated producer Roger Adler. Tickets: $10.

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Celebrating a new pop single, Lake in the Hills native Marina Alyse is ready to be heard.

She will perform her first concert at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 18 in the intimate setting of The Listening Room at Lakeside Legacy Arts Park, 401 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake.

Tickets cost $10 and can be bought at the door or through Alyse’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/marinaalyse or at www.marinaalyse.com.

Alyse released her debut single “Could Have Been” late last year and her most recent single, “Angel of Light,” on Jan. 20.

The 25-year-old has been working with Roger Adler, a four-time Emmy nominated composer, producer and performer, to record and release an EP this summer. Along with iTunes, her single can be found on Apple Music, Google Play and Spotify. She also has her own YouTube page.

She described her latest single as based both on a personal experience and influenced by the Bible verse, “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.”

“It’s a little different from my last one,” she said of “Angel of Light.”

“It has a little different feel. It’s more of an upbeat pop song. . . . The song is just about a person being deceived by another person, and really I wrote this song because I know there are a lot of people out there who can be deceiving.”

In the song, the true colors of someone pretending to be a good person are discovered, she said.

Along with her original music, Alyse said she’ll likely sing some pop covers by artists such as Tori Kelly. Artists

she admires include Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.

Alyse works in a law office and teaches private voice lessons to younger students, and has said she hopes to set a good example with her music. She graduated from Crystal Lake South in 2010 and went on to study music business at Judson College in Elgin.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

Before you buy a ticket to see “John Wick: Chapter 2,” the improbably fun sequel to the implausibly good “John Wick,” you might want to ask yourself how much tolerance you have for gun shots to the head, because there are a lot of those in “John Wick: Chapter 2.”

More than you might think possible in a single movie. Is it gratuitous? Yes. Do all those people deserve to die? Probably not. But for our bearded boogeyman, who one character calls a priest and the devil in a single sentence, a shot to the head and one to the chest gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Why make things overly complicated?

The same goes for the movie, about the storied hitman who was driven out of retirement and back into the game after some mobsters stole his 1969 Mustang and killed his puppy. Stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski’s sequel is straightforward, fast-paced and gets the job done entertainmentwise.

True to its name, “Chapter 2” literally picks up where the first left off. In a skull-crushingly loud sequence involving multiple men getting tossed off car hoods, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retrieves his Mustang from the crooks holding it hostage (allowing for some knowingly extreme exposition about just how scary this guy is). It’s like a bonus “final scene” from the first film that gives closure to John’s revenge

“JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2” STARRING: Keanu Reeves, Riccardo Scamarcio, Ian McShane PLOT: After returning to the criminal underworld to repay a debt, John Wick discovers a large bounty has been put on his life.

RATED: R for strong violence throughout, some language and brief nudity RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 2 minutes mission and reminds us of his folk hero legend status. It also pushes reboot on the whole thing, allowing John to finally return to his modernist castle in the woods, bury his weapons once more in concrete, reminisce about his dead love and play with his dog (yep, there’s a new one).

But soon enough, Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio) is knocking at his door asking John to repay the debt he owes. In this elaborate criminal underworld, there are only two rules: No blood is to be spilled at The Continental (the hitman hotel), and “markers” always must be honored. Santino helped John get out of the game, and into his multimillion dollar home, and now he wants to cash in the favor.

This request leads John even further into the world of these dandy assassins as he goes to execute Santino’s mission, and boy is it fun – especially the “getting ready” sequence where we get to see John being fitted for bespoke suits (Occasion? Social. Buttons? Two. Style?

Tactical) and choosing his weapons from The Sommelier (Peter Serafinow-

icz).

From there, it’s really just action sequence after action sequence – from an Italian rave to a final showdown at a modern art exhibit. The visuals always are exciting and over the top, and creative in well-trod territory for the genre (like a subway platform), even if the plot gets a little repetitive in the third act.

The film is jam-packed with amazing cameos and supporting players, from Franco Nero as the manager of the Rome branch of The Continental and Common as a fellow assassin with a grudge, to Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King.

Ruby Rose is an amusing standout, too, as a sultry, mute bodyguard who communicates in sign language. There also are some returning players, like Lance Reddick as the Continental’s concierge and Ian McShane as the New York Continental manager as well as a handful of others.

And Reeves is in top form as the perpetually unruffled John Wick. It’s a role that is tailor-made for his low-key intensity and one that will fit him for years to come.

Both “John Wick” films are sendups of the tasteless excess of B-action pics and all-out celebrations of their vulgarity.

“Chapter 2” is the best one could hope for in an action sequel, and it doesn’t even have the “killed the puppy” gimmick on its side. The only real question is when we’ll get the gift of a “Chapter 3.”

The Associated Press

If “more” is the name of the game for the new film “Fifty Shades Darker,” it shouldn’t have been the case for its music. At a staggering 19 overwrought songs, the soundtrack committed itself to death by numbers and homogeneity. Too many stars and not enough spark is the problem that plagues this purportedly sexy and romantic offering.

Jewel of the crown, ZAYN & Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” is catchy enough in itself, but the anthemy chorus spoils the illusion of sexual tension and drama.

Contender for the hottest track instead goes to the Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj’s R&B sheet scorcher “Bom Bidi Bom.” Halsey’s “Not Afraid Anymore” and Tove Lo’s “Lies in the Dark” bring the atmospheric darkness, while Sia pulls a typical pleading sadness with “Helium.” John Legend’s piano in “One Woman Man” only can do so much to add a bit of romance, but Jose James’ pipes and old-fashioned sax and piano in “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” make a nice counterbalance to the avalanche

Starting with Wonder Woman, spring’s movies offer exhilarating female roles

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post

S

ome pretty bad movies came out in 2016, some involving talking cats, others involving dirty grandpas.

But the most disappointing releases, by far, were “Batman v Superman” and “Suicide Squad,” each of which adapted a DC Comics property with its own dreary mix of frenetic action, lackluster characterization and coldhearted cynicism.

But there was a bright spot in all the gloom, a tether of hope for DC fans still awaiting the kind of stellar bigscreen experience their Marvel-loyalist rivals boast about every time a new “Avengers” movie comes out. Even in the midst of the mindless carnage and nonsensical plotting of “Bats-VeeSupes,” Wonder Woman quite literally saved the day as the film’s strongest, most alluring character.

Portrayed by Israeli actress Gal Gadot with a superb blend of athleticism, glamour and ultracool selfpossession, Wonder Woman casually stole the show while laying waste to a mini-universe of bad guys (and showing up the good guys with similar aplomb). Whereas it seemed like we’d seen it all before when it came to grimacing men in tights engaging in CGI’ed derring-do, Wonder Woman burst on the scene as something genuinely novel, subversive and exhilaratingly modern.

While Disney dithers about giving Scarlett Johansson a muchdeserved “Black Widow” movie of her own, Warner Bros. quickly recognized what a treasure it has in Gadot and commissioned “Wonder Woman,” a stand-alone Justice League installment that will arrive in theaters June 2.

Directed by Patty Jenkins, who helped Charlize Theron earn her Oscar for “Monster,” and featuring a potent supporting lineup that includes the redoubtable Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen and – oh, yeah – Chris Pine, “Wonder Woman” still isn’t necessarily a guaranteed hit. But it possesses all the right elements to right a badly listing DC ship, while proving women-led action pictures aren’t an oxymoron and that, our current glut of comicbook spectacles notwithstanding, we

always can use another she-ro.

“Wonder Woman” isn’t the only encouraging news for women onscreen this spring: On Feb. 17, “XX,” an anthology of horror films by directors Karyn Kusama, Annie Clark (also known as St. Vincent), Roxanne Benjamin and Jovanka Vuckovic, will open in theaters. No less a towering figure than Octavia Spencer will play God in “The Shack” on March 3. And Shirley MacLaine will bring her trademark brand of acerbic adorability to “The Last Word,” an intergenerational comedy co-starring Amanda Seyfried, on March 10.

Add a clutch of movies toplined by the likes of Johansson (“Ghost in the Shell”), Jessica Chastain (“The Zookeeper’s Wife”), Emma Watson (“Beauty and the Beast,” “The Circle”) and Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn (“Snatched”), and what you get isn’t exactly a revolution, but a pretty good start.

New ‘Heartwarming Hebron’ event aims to put ‘positive spin’ on town

FIND MORE LOCAL EVENTS @

PlanitNorthwest.com

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Aiming to “really show what the community is all about,” Hebron’s Antique and Specialty District is hosting a new “Experience Heartwarming Hebron” festival.

Featuring activities at the antique shops, specials at area businesses, horse and carriage rides, pony rides, model train demonstrations and more, the event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. downtown Hebron.

For information, call 815-648-4507 or visit www.facebook.com/hebronantiqueandspecialtydistrict or www. hebronasd.com.

The event grew out of regular gatherings of downtown business owners as they threw out ideas to bring positive attention to Hebron, said Janet Ratajczak, owner of Prairie Avenue Antiques & The Track Exchange in Hebron. She referred to recent news coverage about Hebron Village President John Jacobson, who faces pending drug possession and firearms charges after his arrest in March.

“We’ve had plenty of black-eye

news about Hebron, so we wanted to do something that puts a more positive spin on really showing what the community is all about,” Ratajczak said.

Members of the Antique and Specialty District always had wanted to host a Christmas-related event in Hebron, but felt residents were too busy during the holidays, she said.

And the town didn’t want to compete with numerous other holiday-related festivities in McHenry County.

“We thought we’d take a different approach and do something around Valentine’s Day,” Ratajczak said. “It’s kind of when everyone’s getting that cabin fever.”

At her business, she plans to host a presentation on Loving Your Furniture Through Winter as well as Valentine Card Making. Among the other antique shops participating are Gramp’s Antiques, Abundance Antiques and Lloyd & Leota’s Antiques & Restorations.

Model trains will be on display at the high school, where those who attend will have the chance to win prizes, and Subway will host cookie decorating and other activities.

“EXPERIENCE HEARTWARMING HEBRON” WHEN: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 11 WHERE: Downtown Hebron COST & INFO: An inaugural family event, “Experience Heartwarming Hebron” will feature horse and carriage rides, pony rides, cookie decorating at Subway, model train demonstrations at the high school, activities at the local antique shops and more. Information: 815-6484507 or www.facebook.com/hebronantiqueandspecialtydistrict.

Crandall’s, Hart’s Saloon, Hazel’s Diner & Bakery and Hoops Sports Bar & Grill will have specials and treats.

Various businesses and churches also will offer cocoa and cookies. Weather permitting, pony rides will be offered at village hall.

The horse and carriage rides will pick up riders at at least four stops in downtown Hebron, and the town will have various outdoor warming locations, Ratajczak said.

“We’re just really trying to reach out there and make it fun for everyone and put that positive spin on Hebron,” she said.

“There are a lot of folks out here that really are genuinely good people who are trying hard to work for positive things.”

IT’S A GO Ski jumpers look on as liquid nitrogen is poured onto the top of the tower before last year’s Norge Winter Ski Jump Tournament in Fox River Grove.

Shaw Media file photo

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com It’s been a long week for Norge Ski Club, and it isn’t over.

But, as of Wednesday, the club’s highly anticipated International Winter Tournament this weekend in Fox River Grove was a go. As organizers put it, they’re moving ahead with the 112th annual event “against all odds.”

“It’s been a challenge,” Norge spokesman Charlie Sedivec said.

Up until this year, the popular ski jumping tournament had never been postponed. Originally slated to begin Jan. 21, organizers had to reschedule it for noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 11 and 12 because of warm weather. If the weather still doesn’t cooperate when the tournament begins, the event will be canceled, not postponed again, Sedivec said.

Crew members literally have worked around the clock to prevent that from happening. They fill the hill with snow using the club’s snow making equipment any time the temperature dips below freezing.

On Tuesday night, when club members showed up for a meeting, they went to work instead, Sedivec said.

“The temperatures were just low enough, we thought, ‘Hey, it’s going to stick,’ ” he said. “It was, ‘OK, everybody head up to the tower.’ They got the whole tower snowed. It looks good.

“These next couple days are going to be crucial. ... But, it’s definitely a go,” he said of this weekend’s tournament. “It’s carved in stone.”

Despite what happens with the weather the next couple of days, any cancellation of the tournament likely would not take place

INTERNATIONAL SKI JUMPING TOURNAMENT until the last minute, Sedivic said. Rain this weekend as the tournament begins, and they might have trouble, he said, “but it’s not looking like there’ll be any rain.”

Fans often ask, “Don’t you make snow?” The answer is simple, Sedivic said. “You can’t convert water to snow unless you have below freezing temperatures,” he said.

Still, there are options. Ski competitors might have to ski down the ramp on plastic and jump on snow, he said, among other modifications.

The National Weather Service is forecasting temperatures in the 40s this weekend. That weather actually could work in the event’s favor, Sedivic said.

“I think, by that time, we should be all set,” he said. “I think the warmer temperatures are going to make it nicer for the crowd.”

On Feb. 11, the club is hosting a Junior Competition in which children from ages 5 to 17 take to all but the largest hill, competing for top honors. Some of the top ski jumpers in the world are expected to compete Feb. 12. ascending the 15-foot steel tower to fly down the 70-meter-hill, reaching heights of 200 feet in the air as they jump.

It’s tough to know exactly which jumpers will be competing, as schedules have changed with the rescheduling and cancellation of ski jump tournaments throughout the country because of weather conditions, Sedivic said.

WHEN: Noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 11-12 WHERE: Norge Ski Club, 100 Ski Hill Road, Fox River Grove COST & INFO: This is Norge Ski Club’s 112th winter tournament. Saturday features the Junior Competition and K70 Competition. Sunday includes the K70 – US Cup Five Hills Tournament and Long-Standing Competition. Rescheduled from Jan. 21-22. Weekend admission buttons: $10 available at local merchants, $15 at the gate, free for children age 12 and younger. Buttons orignally bought for the January dates will be honored. Bring lawn chairs and blankets. No dogs or carry-ins allowed. Information: www.norgeskiclub.com.

Still, the Fox River Grove tournament is bound to entertain. Along with the ski jumping, the event draws crowds with its food – brats, hot dogs, pizza and popcorn – and drink – pop, beer, wine and Jägermeister – and other entertainment.

Weekend admission buttons can be bought from area merchants at a cost of $10. Gate admission is $15 a person, free for children ages 12 and younger. Buttons originally bought for the January tournament dates will be honored.

Those who attend are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. No dogs or carry-ins are allowed. For information, visit www.norgeskiclub.com.

Passionate, relevant storytelling in must-see ‘The Book of Joseph’ REVIEWS Mary Beth Euker

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” – Elie Wiesel

Many poems, books, movies and plays have been written about the Holocaust. It is a moment of history from which we hopefully have learned many things. Because of the volume of material, it is difficult to stand apart from the crowd, and Chicago Shakespeare’s production of “The Book of Joseph” does just that. Watching the production, you find yourself not moving a muscle as your eyes and ears remain glued to the stage.

Under the thoughtful direction of Barbara Gaines, the cast and everything about the production draw audience members into the show within a show. The initial plot device of having actor Francis Guinan pose as an author is so well tucked into the story that, at first, the audience is tak-

en off-guard. Those watching question whether they actually are listening to Richard Hollander himself. The colloquial nature of his characterization is so credible that, once the lights begin to slowly dim, it is a slow burn and realization we are watching an actor at his craft. By that time, the web is spun, and we slowly are drifted into his world of storytelling.

The relationship between Richard and his son Craig (portrayed by Adam Wesley Brown) is very credible to anyone who has been a parent in modern times.

The cast is beyond superb. The delivery of the well-crafted dialogue is a dichotomy of past and present. Glynis Bell is a stand-out with her portrayal of an aristocrat in denial. The descent of those who remained behind and the story of censorship, segregation on both sides of the ocean and prejudice is an oddly timely tale given recent events. Young passionate activists of all ages should witness this portrayal, which is a living, breathing symbol of why we can learn from history.

The technical aspect of the show becomes another player in our midst.

The projections of the degradation of an upper class Krakov pied a terre to the tattered ghetto evoke the tragic

“THE BOOK OF JOSEPH” WHEN: Through March 5 WHERE: Upstairs Theater at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier, 800 E. Grand Ave., Chicago COST & INFO: Every family has secrets.

The Hollander family’s spanned three generations and two continents, from World War II Poland to present-day America, all locked in a suitcase in Joseph Hollander’s attic. When his son, Richard, uncovered the suitcase, he found more than just Swastika-stamped letters and legal documents – he found a family he never met and a father’s legacy that was never mentioned. Tickets: $38 to $58. Tickets and information: www.chicagoshakes. com or 312-595-5600. nature of the path. The actual newsreels are terrifying. Using the suitcases to show the constant movement of the oppressed is a good visual tool.

The lighting of Joseph Hollander (well played by Sean Fortunato) in various stages of happiness and despair particularly is dramatic and well done.

If you love history and words, or if you are passionate about what is going on in the world around us now, this is a must-see show.

HOMES The home design trend you need to know about (BPT) - With the new year underway, the housing world is buzzing about the next transformative trend in home design and remodeling. This year it seems certain the growing trend of mixing and layering materials, something many designers and architects noticed was growing in popularity over the past few years, will dominate the remodeling and design scene.

When it comes to mixing materials, there’s no rule book; all you should do is find a combination to match your personality. This might be one of the biggest reasons why people have taken to mixing materials, as it truly allows you to create a home that is uniquely yours.

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Thursday, February 9, 2017 •

CLASSIFIED 19

Bold and innovative The most immediate effect of mixing materials is that it opens new possibilities and new ways of expression.

An example of this can be likened to how hard stone surfaces in a room can be complemented by soft carpet and furniture, or how the highly textured wood on a ceiling can stand in stark contrast to polished stone.

Some of the hottest looks today, such as the blending of unfinished industrial materials with modern floors and cabinets, would have been considered outlandish only a few years ago. Mixing materials gives you greater freedom to create a space that represents your style.

Style on a budget Of all the rooms in a home, kitchens and bathrooms still get the most attention. Unfortunately, getting that dream kitchen or perfect bathroom isn’t always inexpensive.

For those who have uncompromising taste, but are on a budget, mixing materials is the ideal solution. For instance, say you had your heart set on a marble island and surrounding countertops, but just can’t afford marble. Instead, you can choose from Continued on the next page

Continued from the previous page a variety of Wilsonart(R) Quartz for the island. Engineered to showcase the erratic veins and patterns prized in marble, quartz also has the advantage of being non-porous, so it won’t stain and requires virtually no maintenance. A timeless look that continues to win the popularity contest are nature’s neutrals in white, grey and black, offering flexibility to play with bold or demure colorful accents.

You can complement the quartz island by mixing in an even more affordable material like Wilsonart(R) Laminate for the perimeter countertops and vertical applications such as backsplashes and walls. With numerous styles to choose from, you’ll be able to create a stunning contrast and dimensionality that will make your room pop. With today’s innovation in laminate manufacturing and fabrication, adding affordable luxury to your

kitchen or bath has never been easier.

Utility meets style Parents, in particular, face a constant dilemma: They want a home with rooms that can stand up to all the abuse toddlers and teenagers can throw at it, but still have it look good. The answer lies in Wilsonart(R) Solid Surface. This material is tough, non-porous, seamless and repairable

without sacrificing beauty. With a wide variety of styles replicating stone, you can easily mix it with other material looks to make an intriguing statement.

To explore hundreds of options, visit www.wilsonart.com and start mixing materials to see what’s possible in your home.

This newspaper cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences that occur as a result of you doing business with these advertisers.

Carmine Gallo, an expert in business communications and leadership skills, said, “Nothing is more dramatic than a well-placed pause.”

That pause might also be critical in a comedy. At the bridge table, though, we might need one card to be well-placed. In this deal, South was in six hearts. Which one card did he hope East held? How did South play after West led the spade 10?

South’s jump to four hearts, a superaccept, promised four-card support and a good hand for hearts.

I believe, though, that the hand should have had a doubleton.

Declarer had 10 top tricks: two spades, six hearts and two diamonds.

He could have established a club winner and had two finesses that he might have tried.

There was a temptation to take the spade finesse at trick one, but South realized that that could wait. If he could just find East with the club ace, the contract was safe.

Declarer took the first trick with his spade king, drew trumps ending on the board and led dummy’s club.

East defended well by not taking the trick. However, South won with his king, ruffed the club three, played a trump to his hand, led the club queen and, instead of ruffing it, discarded dummy’s low diamond.

East took the trick, but was endplayed. If he led a spade or diamond, it would have been away from his queen into dummy’s tenace. So he tried the club jack, but declarer ruffed in his hand (a seventh trump trick) and discarded the spade jack from the dummy. He claimed two spades, six hearts, two diamonds, one club and the club ruff.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The McHenry County Division of Transportation has applied for Incidental Take Authorization to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Resource Conservation, concerning the following species.

State Endangered: Slippershell mussel (Alasmidonta viridis) McHenry County Division of Transportation mailing address: McHenry County Division of Transportation ATTN: Mr. Benjamin Redding 16111 Nelson Road Woodstock, IL 60098 The location of the site where replacement of the existing roadway bridge may impact the listed species is Illinois, McHenry County, O'Brien Road at Nippersink Creek in Hebron; Township 46N, Range 7E, Sections 19 and 30, East of the Third Principal Meridian. The subject bridge is located along O'Brien Road, approximately 2,500 feet west of Johnson Road and 5,050 feet east of Manley Road.

Proposed work consists of removing the existing bridge superstructure and replacing it with a new reinforced concrete slab superstructure on the existing abutments and piers. Stone riprap will be placed on the abutment slopes and around the piers for scour control. The roadway approaches will be reconstructed to add traffic barrier terminals per IDOT safety policy. The total area of site disturbance is 0.6 acres. The area of impact to Nippersink Creek is 0.09 acres. The activity of removing the existing roadway bridge and construction of a new bridge may take an undetermined amount of Slippershell mussel.

The following measures will be taken to minimize and mitigate the effects of the proposed incidental taking: 1) The work zone footprint has been minimized to reduce impact to mussel habitat; 2) Soil conserving practices, including perimeter erosion barrier, ditch checks, seeding and erosion control blanket, will be implemented to minimize the amount of eroded soil entering the channel; 3) Prior to initiating construction, all mussels within the limits of construction will be moved from their locations to suitable upstream habitat; and 4) the applicant will provide $5,580 to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's Urban Stream Research Center for propagation of native mussels.

A copy of the Conservation Plan is available for inspection at (1) the McHenry County Division of Transportation at 16111 Nelson Road, (2) The Illinois Department of Natural Resources website https://www.dnr.illinois.gov/conservation/NaturalHeritage/Pages/Incidental-Take-Authorizations.aspx ITA #148, and (3) The Hebron Public Library, 9908 Saint Albans Street, Hebron, IL 60034.

Comments on the Conservation Plan should be directed to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Resource Conservation, Incidental Take Authorization Coordinator, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702 or DNR.ITAcoordinator@illinois.gov.

The Comment period closes thirty (30) days after the final publication of this notice in the Northwest Herald http://www.nwherald.com/contact_us/. This notice will appear for three weeks beginning on 1/26/17.

The final publication date will be 2/9/17. The comment period will end on 3/11/17. Concurrent with the first publication in the Northwest Herald, the notice will be published one time on 1/26/17 in the Breeze Courier out of Taylorville, Illinois, the official State newspaper.
