Good morning, McHenry County ... daily Help Big Brothers Big Sisters with The TWEET upcoming Bowl for Kids’ Sake event @NWHerald

One of our many fantastic area nonprofits is hosting its biggest fundraiser in the next few weeks. It’s not just a painless way to raise some cash for Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County – it’s actually fun.

I am a former Big Brothers Big Sisters board member, and Bowl for Kids’ Sake was an annual event for my family. We even used to assemble a team of Northwest Herald reporters each year to help the cause. That’s worth a boss buying a round or two.

Youth basketball now crushes our social schedule this time of year, but I think we can find a way to fit it in, especially because Big Brothers Big Sisters has scheduled many events at a few different locations.

Bowling times are planned for Feb. 18, 19, 25, and 26, as well as March 4 and 5.

The funds raised from Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2016 have helped the McHenry-based agency serve more than 450 children in McHenry County in the past year through mentoring programs.

The following are the times and locations for 2017 Bowl for Kids’ Sake events: • Feb. 18 – 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.; Kingston Lanes, Woodstock • Feb. 19 – 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.; Kingston Lanes, Woodstock

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons • Feb. 25 – 4 to 6 p.m.; Glo-Bowl, Marengo • Feb. 26 – 1 to 3 p.m.; The Palace, Johnsburg • March 4 – 3 to 5 p.m.; 3-D Bowl, Island Lake • March 5 – 1 to 3 p.m.; 3-D Bowl, Island Lake • March 5 – (Match & Family Day) 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.; 3-D Bowl, Island Lake It’s easy to register a team or make donations online at www.bbbsmchenry.org/bowl, or by calling the BBBS office at 815-385-3855.

Any local business that would like to sponsor the event should call the Big Brothers Big Sisters office. This year’s sponsors include Intren Inc., Leading IT, BMO Harris Bank, Centegra Health System, Sage Products, Northwest Herald, Minuteman Press, NJB Operations Inc., Miller Verchota Inc. and Medela.

TODAY’S TALKERS McDONALD’S TESTING OUT CRAB SANDWICH IN SAN FRANCISCO AREA

SAN JOSE, Calif. – McDonald’s is planning to launch a crab sandwich in the San Francisco Bay area.

The fast food giant said the sandwich consists of snow crab meat mixed with mayonnaise and served with tomato and lettuce on a sourdough bun. It said it worked with San Francisco chef and former “Top Chef” contestant Ryan Scott to create the sandwich.

It’s currently being tested in four restaurants in San Jose, California. If the company gets positive feedback, it said it will launch the sandwich in 250 Bay Area restaurants later this year.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DELAYS LISTING BUMBLEBEE AS ENDANGERED

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – The Trump administration on Thursday delayed what would be the first endangered designation for a bee species in the continen-

tal U.S., one day before it was to take effect.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service adopted a rule Jan. 11 extending federal protection to the rusty patched bumblebee, one of many types of bees that play a vital role in pollinating crops and wild plants. It once was common across the East Coast and much of the Midwest, but its numbers have plummeted since the late 1990s.

Federal law requires a 30-day waiting period before most new regulations become effective. The addition of the bumblebee to the endangered species list was scheduled for Friday. The listing would require the service to develop a plan for helping the bee recover and provide more habitat.

But in a Federal Register notice, the service announced a postponement until March 21 in keeping with a Trump administration order issued Jan. 20.

It imposed a 60-day freeze on regulations that had been published in the register but hadn’t taken effect.

Bond increased to $3M in Spring Grove murder case

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge increased the bond for a Spring Grove man charged with the first-degree murder of his wife.

Lorin Volberding, 71, appeared in court Thursday in a wheelchair with his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, after prosecutors filed a motion to increase his $1 million bond to $5 million.

Volberding was charged Feb. 3 after police said he fatally shot his wife, Elizabeth Volberding, in the head-neck area.

She was found in their Spring Grove residence, in the 10800 block of Riviera Drive, after Lorin Volberding called a neighbor and told him he shot his wife.

Back Problems? What mattress is best for you?

SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak If you have a bad back, you’re not alone by any means. Millions of people suffer the same fate as you. In fact, nearly 80 percent of people in the U.S. have had backache issues at some point, according to WebMD. But how do you get a good night’s sleep when you’re back is bent on keeping you awake? There are several mattress qualities that can make a difference in your comfort level.

Support is key. Body weight should be distributed evenly so the spine can remain straight and experiencing less stress. This means your mattress should flex with you so that all parts of your body come in contact with your mattress.

Mattress firmness can make a huge difference to those with back pain. You don’t want your mattress too soft or too firm. Either one will have you miserable when you wake up in the morning. And because different people

have different degrees of back pain, it’s always a good idea to test your mattress for firmness before you buy.

Latex is a favorite of those with back issues because it gives in all the right places so that it comes in contact with every part of your body for gentle support. That means your vertebrae can stay in line and you experience relief on your pressure points.

Memory foam is another mattress of choice for those with back problems. The higher the density, the more support it provides. Both latex and memory foam distribute weight evenly, taking pressure off your back.

Adjustable-base beds give you a choice of sleeping positions and can offer advanced lumbar support in just the right configuration for your individual comfort.

Whatever your backache issues, a Verlo Mattress specialist can help you, and your back, find the best mattress.

Centegra opposes proposed Mercyhealth microhospital

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Centegra Health System is no more enamored with Mercyhealth’s latest attempt to build a Crystal Lake hospital than it was with its previous ones, echoing past statements that another hospital is not needed.

Rockford-based Mercyhealth has submitted an application to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board to build a 13-bed “microhospital” at the corner of Three Oaks Road and Route 31. It has made two other attempts since 2003 to build a hospital at the location.

Hadley Streng, senior vice president for strategy and development for Crystal Lake-based Centegra, said the company’s position “has not changed in the nearly 15 years since Mercyhealth first tried to build a hospital in Crystal Lake.”

“There is no need for the services Mercy proposes, and Crystal Lake is not the right location for a new hospital, no matter its size. The [review board] already determined there was a need for a new hospital, a need that was met when Centegra Hospital – Huntley opened in August 2016,” Streng said.

Permission from the health facilities board is required to build a new hospital in Illinois or to expand an existing one.

Besides 13 beds and an emergency room, the proposed microhospital would include two operating rooms and a clinic, into which Mercyhealth would move its four existing clinics

“There is no need for the services Mercy proposes, and Crystal Lake is not the right location for a new hospital, no matter its size.”

Hadley Streng, Centegra senior vice president for strategy and development in Crystal Lake and one in Lake in the Hills. Clinics elsewhere in McHenry County would not be affected.

Mercyhealth projects that the $82 million hospital and $23 million clinic would create 150 new jobs, not counting the 500 construction and trade jobs to build the campus.

In a statement, Mercyhealth President and CEO Javon Bea said the people of Crystal Lake, especially people with limited transportation means, deserve around-the-clock access to emergency care and hospital service for common health issues. He called Centegra’s opposition to a “very modest microhospital and clinic” unfortunate.

“This is something that is very much needed because those services do not currently exist,” Bea said. “I reached out to both nearby competitors before our announcement to provide them with an opportunity to understand our proposal and collaborate in the delivery of health care to patients who would use the planned facility.

We remain very open to working together.”

Besides the new 128-bed Centegra hospital, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington substantially completed a major renovation and modernization last year.

Downers Grove-based Advocate has not yet taken a position and is “reviewing the application to assess the

potential impact to our patients,” the state’s largest health care system said in a statement.

The concept of microhospitals is a relatively new one in medicine, but generally can be thought of as similar to a community or rural hospital but smaller and located in more metropolitan areas, providing low-acuity, ambulatory and emergency care but leaving more complex care to larger facilities.

Mercyhealth representatives attended Tuesday evening’s Crystal Lake City Council meeting to talk about the plan during the public comment section. That invited direct and pointed questions from Mayor Aaron Shepley, who is Centegra’s general counsel and president of insurance services.

Shepley did not take a position during the meeting, but questioned things such as the number of jobs Mercyhealth said the project will create, and the fact that state rules require a minimum of 100 beds to build a hospital.

Shepley said he would have recused himself had Mercyhealth asked for support or anything requiring a vote.

He said he owed it to the city to ask tough questions based on his expertise with the subject.

“I would have been doing a disservice to my fellow council members, and the city, if I had not asked questions based on what I know,” Shepley said.

Sabo, who spoke on his own behalf, said he believes he is in a completely different place, and he is looking forward to continuing to help others.

Prather said this case was an “unusual situation,” and she recognized that Sabo was doing well while living at Wayside. Prather said she did not want to impose a sentence that would remove him from his residence.

“To put the defendant on probation or conditional discharge is not in his best interest or that of the community,” Prather said.

WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a former Crystal Lake youth baseball coach Thursday to time served for failing to register as a sex offender.

Marcus Sabo, 44, entered a blind guilty plea in December to one count of failure to register as a sex offender, a Class 3 felony. The felo- Marcus Sabo ny is punishable by up to five years in prison or probation.

Sabo was required to register as a sex offender after he pleaded guilty in 2014 to 20 counts of possessing child pornography. He was charged after state police investigators found hundreds of images of child pornography downloaded over a number of years in his Crystal Lake home. Judge Sharon Prather sentenced him to two years in prison.

As part of his original sentence, he was required to report his address or

report as a transient to area police.

Prosecutors said that from Feb. 20, 2015, through March 24, 2015, Sabo did not have a “fixed address,” nor did he report to police.

As a result, Sabo was arrested on a warrant in September 2015 after he was found in February sleeping on a park bench in Veteran Acres Park in Crystal Lake, police have said. He was charged with a misdemeanor as a sexual predator in a public park and with two counts of felony failure to register as a sex offender.

Prather entered the conviction and closed the case. Sabo received credit for 86 days served in McHenry County Jail, and he will have to continue to register as a sex offender.

Sabo currently is residing at Wayside Cross Ministries, a faith-based residential treatment program in Aurora. Sabo’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, said that his client was in a dark place when he got out of prison but has come a long way and is “flourishing” at his new

The answer is a resounding, “Absolutely!”

For example, consider the Gary Lang Auto Group. You can fill out your personal information on a credit application online and know that it’s secure because it’s encrypted and protected.

That doesn’t mean you can’t stop in today and meet with the finance department directly and also get the right financing at the most competitive rates. You can certainly do that, but with today’s technology, why not enjoy the comfort of applying and shopping for a new or used vehicle online?

It’s a luxury, especially when you’re just getting started in the shopping process. Isn’t it convenient to be able to see what’s currently out there and what you can afford from the comfort of your smartphone, tablet or laptop? You can even shop for your next vehicle while still in your pajamas and sipping that first cup of coffee!

SM-CL0394199

Since you’ve probably heard horror stories of identity theft or stolen credit card numbers, it’s understandable if you’re a little leery about providing personal information over the Internet.

The experienced staff at Gary Lang understands your concerns. They have taken the necessary steps to ensure that your financial information will remain confidential at all times.

When you’re applying for financing online, it’s really no different than doing so within the comfy environs of a dealership like Gary Lang, except you can do it from home and you’re typing rather than using a pen. You can entrust the finance department to keep your credit score, history, application and other personal info confidential.

Consider the trust you’re already putting into a dealership for a major investment like a vehicle. If you can trust them to help you in such a purchase, don’t you think it makes sense to know that it’s safe to do a credit application on their website?

Happy hunting.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – A body found Monday that was lying in the mud near Route 31 in Lake in the Hills was identified as a missing 69-year-old man from Chicago.

An autopsy was conducted Thursday on Lawrence Johnson after allowing for proper warming of the body, according to a news release from the McHenry Lawrence County Coroner’s Office. Johnson The autopsy revealed no evidence of trauma or suspicious findings, the release said.

Preliminary findings suggest hypothermia played a role in Johnson’s death, the release stated. Toxicology testing was performed, and results are

pending, the release said.

Johnson’s body was found about 3:38 p.m. Monday by a construction worker. His body was facedown in a field just west of Route 31 and south of Rakow Road, according to the release.

The initial investigation suggests there is no threat to public safety, police said.

Johnson, who suffered from memory loss, initially was reported missing Jan. 26 to the Chicago Police Department by family members, police said.

Crystal Lake police said store video recorded Johnson on foot at 2:40 a.m.

Jan. 26 at the rear of the Crystal Lake Walmart at 1205 S. Route 31.

The investigation is ongoing by the Lake in the Hills Police Department, the McHenry County Major Investigations Assistance Team and the McHenry County coroner.

She said after the incident her husband was involuntarily admitted to the hospital for a mental health evaluation, and police recommended that she seek an order of protection for her safety.

No charges were filed against Lorin Volberding, and the order of protection expired just weeks later, Feb. 5, 2015, after both parties failed to show in court.

Zalud said the residence the two lived in was valued at more than $299,000, meaning the defendant

owned assets of significance and potentially could post 10 percent of the $1 million bond. Zalud also said Lorin Volberding’s behavior is a significant danger to the community and himself.

Mourelatos, who ordered a physical and mental evaluation for his client, said his client’s bond was more than fair given his age and the fact that he had no previous criminal history. He also said that after speaking with the family, they currently have no means to post Lorin Volberding’s bond.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather said that for the safety of the community and the defendant, she would raise his bond to $3 million.

Continued from page A3 After Hascup graduates, the 26-year-old McHenry resident said she needs to take a certification exam.

“Our graduates have a great pass rate for the national exam they take to be certified occupational therapy assistants,” said Terri Berryman, interim associate vice president of Career, Technical and Workforce Education at MCC. According to the National Board of Certification for Occupational Therapy, MCC’s December 2015 OTA graduates surpassed the national average for the certification exam scores with an average of 509.

“The majority of our graduates either get full-time or part-time work right after they graduate, depending on what they are looking for,” Berryman said. “We’re one of the only occupational therapy assistant programs in the area, so we have high demand for that program, and most of our graduates land jobs in the community.”

OTA classes average about 16 students and are led by MCC instructor Becky Smith, who also is an occupational therapist. The OTA classes consist of a mix of in-

Smith said the two-year program starts with OTA students getting three semesters of in-class instruction.

“Throughout those semesters, they also get fieldwork experience where students actually go out and work with some in occupational therapy or a related profession,” Smith said. “And then the fourth semester they actually go out for longer fieldwork where they are with an occupational therapist

and the students act as interns.”

Smith said her classes consist of a lot of simulations, such as trying to get dressed while wearing a sling, so the students can teach what they learn to their future patients.

“Occupational therapy is focused on function, such as everyday things that we do like dressing, eating, toileting, driving,” Smith said. “When someone has a disability, they’re not able to do as much as they hope to. So our goal is to figure out how we can fix

the situation, change the environment or introduce equipment to them so they can still function and be as independent as they want to be.”

For those who want to learn more about the program, the next OTA informational session will be at 5 p.m. Feb. 28 in Room E217 at MCC. “The health care industry is a great market right now, and it’s very fulfilling if you’ve got the heart for helping others,” Smith said.

McHENRY – United Way of Greater McHenry County has a new executive director after a three-month, nationwide search.

Carole Peters of Marengo will lead the organization beginning Feb. 20. Former director Steven Otten resigned from the position in November to pursue other projects. Board President Robert Clark has served as interim director.

Peters has more than two decades of experience in volunteering and fundraising with organizations in McHenry County, and she also has served as part of the Marengo Area Schools Education Foundation.

Professionally, Peters has a strong background in sales, marketing, finance and business development. She most recently has worked as assistant vice president of adult education at Judson University in Elgin.

“After an extensive search and interview process, led by board member and campaign Chair Peter Murray along with the UMGMC Executive Committee, the Board of Directors is

excited that Carole has agreed to join us,” Clark said.

“We were both impressed and excited by the number of qualified applicants, and Carole Peters are encouraged that Carole brings with her the attributes needed to lead our organization forward. The United Way of Greater McHenry County has been supporting nonprofit human service agencies in this county for 50 years, and with the leadership of Carole Peters, we look forward to continuing that support for the next 50 years and beyond.”

Peters has a passion for working with people and said her No 1. goal is to start building relationships with different agencies and United Way staffers right away. ”I will also continue to do outreach to the folks that are in my personal and professional network about the good work United Way does,” she said.

Peters said there would be a lot to learn about the organization and its future goals, but she is excited to hit the ground running.

LITH man faces DUI charge after CL crash 1 person hospitalized, 3 dealership vehicles damaged in wreck

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Lake in the Hills man faces multiple charges after allegedly causing a crash that injured another driver and damaged cars at a local dealership.

Police said that about 10:20 p.m.

Friday, Mark O’Connor, 46, of the 3100 block of Brisbane Drive, was traveling east on Route 14 at a high speed when he swerved his Ford E350 cargo van into the right lane and rear-ended a Volkswagen Passat near Exchange Drive.

The Passat was forced off the road and slammed into a utility pole. O’Con-

nor then veered into the lot of Volkswagen of Crystal Lake, 5213 Route 14, and struck a display car, pushing it several dozen feet, Deputy Chief Derek Hyrkas said.

O’Connor then veered toward the road before hitting another parked display car.

A third display car suffered minor damage from debris thrown from the Passat, Hyrkas said. The 45-year-old Passat driver was taken to Centegra Hospital – Huntley with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Damage estimates from the dealership were not available.

Police charged O’Connor with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and aggravated reckless driving, both of which are felony charges, as well as driving without insurance, failing to reduce speed and improper lane use. He is next scheduled to appear in court March 14 before McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer.

Cary mayor talks economic development at roundtable

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – An equipment sales and repair business relocating to the former Fox Valley Systems property is among the developments expected to come to Cary in the next year, Mayor Mark Kownick said.

At the Cary Business Roundtable, hosted Thursday by the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, Kownick highlighted the village’s economic Mark development efforts in Kownick 2016 and noted projects expected for the coming year.

“We’ve welcomed 15 new businesses, we have watched 13 existing businesses relocate within the village or expand within the village, [and] we’ve created over 100 new jobs,” Kownick said of progress made in 2016.

A new business planning to come to the village this year at 640 Industrial Drive is Illinois Lift Equipment Inc., which specializes in the retail sale, rental and repair of forklifts and other related equipment, according to village documents. The space previously was occupied by Fox Valley Systems before a March 2013 explosion led to the business being cited for 26 safety violations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The property was left in “poor standards” before Midwest Industrial Funds bought and built out the property, Kownick said. At Tuesday’s Cary Village Board meeting, trustees approved an ordinance granting a conditional use permit for Illinois Lift

to operate, he said.

Another project highlighted at the roundtable was Sage Products’ expansion on the 27 acres of land adjacent to its current property, 3909 Three Oaks Road.

Sage Products Vice President and General Manager of Operations Sean Haley said that the company expects to break ground on the first phase of its project by April, and it hopes to start putting up walls for its new warehouse by June.

The first phase of the project includes building a 200,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution expansion with relocated shipping docks and added parking. Currently, the company leases warehouse space outside of Cary to hold its products, Haley said.

“We’re thrilled,” Haley said. “Just operationally speaking, it makes such a difference to be able to do it all under one roof.”

Projects the village continues to work on include the estimated $1.2 million downtown streetscape project and the relocation of Cary’s Metra station, Kownick said.

Potential housing developments coming to the village include the West Lake subdivision, which trustees approved conceptual plans for in September, and the PIRHL development for affordable senior housing at the southwest corner of Three Oaks Road and Feinberg Drive, Kownick said.

Kownick said nothing has come before the Village Board regarding development at what’s known as the Selke property, which is located on the south side of the intersection of Route 14 and Jandus Cutoff Road.

KEITH E. EHRKE SR.

Oldest American, Adele Dunlap, dies at age 114 The ASSOCIATED PRESS FLEMINGTON, N.J. – Adele Dunlap, the oldest person in America, has died at age 114.

Dunlap died Sunday at a hospital near Flemington, according to Martin Funeral Home. She became the country’s oldest person in July after the death of 113-year-old Goldie Michelson of Worcester, Massachusetts.

The oldest known person living in the U.S. now is 113-year-old Delphine Gibson, of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, according the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks people older than 110 worldwide.

Dunlap didn’t have an explanation for her longevity, and neither did her children. Asked once how it felt to be the oldest American, Dunlap said, “I don’t feel any different.”

Dunlap was born Dec. 12, 1902, in Newark, although family and caregivers said she often gave a younger age when asked how old she was. The year she was born, Theodore Roosevelt was president, Cuba gained independence from Spain, the second Boer War end-

ed, and the U.S. bought the rights to the Panama Canal from France.

Dunlap taught school before marrying and settling down to raise the couple’s three children.

Adele Dunlap Her husband worked for an insurance company and died in 1963.

“She never went out jogging or anything like that,” her son, Earl Dunlap, said when his mother became the oldest American. “She’s not really thin, but she never weighed more than 140 pounds. She smoked, and when my father had his first heart attack, they both stopped. I think she ate anything she wanted.”

Earl Dunlap said his mother wasn’t a drinker but did occasionally enjoy a martini with her husband.

Officials at the Country Arch Care Center in Pittstown, where Dunlap first arrived at age 99½, described her as a passive participant in activities and said she didn’t socialize much. But they said she looked forward to Girl Scouts coming to sing Christmas carols.

Dems want Obama’s birthday to be holiday The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD – Democratic lawmakers from Chicago have proposed legislation to make former President Barack Obama’s birthday a state holiday.

Three bills have been introduced that would all make Obama’s birthday, Aug. 4, an official holiday.

The two bills in the House, proposed

by Democratic Reps. Andre Thapedi and Sonya Harper, would make Aug. 4 a “legal holiday,” during which state government offices would shut down, and schools and businesses would have the option of closing.

Under a Senate bill co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Jacqueline Collins, “Barack Obama Day” would be commemorative.

No agreement on who writes school funding plan

SPRINGFIELD – When it comes to the complex, politically prickly topic of overhauling public school funding in Illinois, lawmakers and Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office can’t even agree on who should take the first step.

Democrats who run the Senate Education Committee told Rauner’s education adviser Thursday that the Republican governor should draft legislation to reflect recommendations from a school funding report released last week. The adviser, Beth Purvis, countered that the plan should come from the Legislature.

The two sides agree that the formula for financing public education should be changed to ensure poorer districts receive more financial support from the state. The recommendations, which come from a commission created by the governor, said that Illinois must assess how it supports schools on a district-by-district basis but didn’t indicate how legislators could accomplish this.

Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat and commission member, suggested the governor’s office should translate the findings into legislation.

“How do we make sure that this report doesn’t just get plopped on the heaping pile of reports that are somewhere in the basement of this building?” he said.

Purvis responded that writing legislation is “usually the job of the General Assembly” and explained Rauner would use the commission’s report to assess any education funding proposals that cross his desk.

Service providers file 2nd lawsuit demanding pay

SPRINGFIELD – A group of agencies and businesses that provides services to state government has opened a second front in the legal fight to get Illinois to pay billions in back-due bills.

The Pay Now Illinois coalition filed a lawsuit Thursday in St. Clair County demanding that state officials pay bills dating to July. An $11 billion pile of overdue bills has grown with a nearly two-year long budget stalemate. The Pay Now coalition includes providers of health care, housing for the homeless, sex abuse counseling and more.

Its organizers say the state should honor contracts with the agencies.

The county court is the same court that ruled in 2015 that state employees should

get paid even without a state budget.

The coalition filed a similar lawsuit in Cook County last year.

Ind. governor grants pardon that Pence didn’t act upon

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana’s new governor Thursday pardoned a Chicago man whose request languished under thenGov. Mike Pence despite evidence the man was wrongly sent to prison for an armed robbery conviction.

Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb said he decided to pardon 49-year-old Keith Cooper because he believed Cooper had been wrongly convicted of the 1996 robbery in Elkhart, Indiana. Holcomb cited the state parole board’s support for the pardon, along with the backing of the prosecutor and witnesses in the case.

“I personally believe that Mr. Cooper has waited long enough and need not endure any further uncertainty,” Holcomb said.

Cooper’s pardon request, which the Indiana Parole Board recommended be approved in 2014, received renewed attention after Pence became Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate last summer.

Cooper was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the robbery during which a teenager was shot in the stomach, but advances in DNA testing and a nationwide offender database excluded Cooper as the

year, there were some concerns, honoring a sitting president. Now that he’s no longer a sitting president, it’s even more appropriate.”

When Thapedi’s bill was being considered last year, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration filed papers saying the bill would cost the state $3.2 million in salary for workers to have the day off.

The administration also argued that Illinois would “lose $16 million in productivity from state workers having a paid, nonworking holiday.”

Thapedi said those numbers are overstated.

Collins said that she hopes Republicans can appreciate Obama’s achievements.

“I hope we don’t descend to what we see at the federal level,” Collins said.

“As a Democrat, I have no problem honoring President Lincoln. There should be reciprocity between parties, Obama belongs to Illinois, and Illinois belongs to all people, Republicans and Democrats.”

attacker and identified another person.

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned his co-defendant’s conviction in 2005, and Cooper was given the choice of being released with a felony record or facing a new trial before the same judge who had convicted him. He elected to be released to go home to his wife and three children, who at times were homeless during his incarceration.

Amtrak officer wounds man near Chicago’s Union Station

CHICAGO – Authorities said an Amtrak police officer shot and wounded a 25-year-old man near Union Station in Chicago.

The shooting happened Wednesday night as the officer was on routine patrol. Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in an email Thursday morning that the man was taken to a hospital in serious condition with a wound to his left shoulder.

The officer wasn’t injured. Details about what led to the shooting and the names of those involved weren’t immediately released. Guglielmi said the wounded man was found with cash and narcotics.

Amtrak released a statement confirming that the officer was involved in the shooting and noting that Chicago police are investigating.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump lobbies senators to snow and slick highways. Stretchback Gorsuch nomination es of Interstate 95 in Rhode Island

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump lobbied Democrats and Republicans to back his Supreme Court nominee Thursday even as he escalated his attacks against one of their Senate colleagues for disclosing that Judge Neil Gorsuch found the president’s criticism of the judiciary “demoralizing and disheartening.”

In a day of political whiplash, Trump insisted that Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal “misrepresented” comments from Gorsuch, who expressed misgivings about the president’s attacks on a judge.

Gorsuch’s comments were first reported by Blumenthal, but were subsequently confirmed by two other senators who heard versions of the same thing, and verified by the White House-appointed handlers shepherding Gorsuch around Capitol Hill.

Court won’t reinstate Trump’s travel ban

By SUDHIN THANAWALA The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump’s ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, unanimously rejecting the administration’s claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges.

The three judges of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the argument that the ban targets Muslims raised “serious allegations” and presented “significant constitutional questions,” and they agreed that courts could consider statements by Trump and his advisers about wishing to enact such a ban.

Moments after the ruling, Trump tweeted, “SEE YOU IN COURT,” adding that “THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!” In response, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat who leads one of the states that challenged the ban, said: “Mr. President, we just saw you in court, and we beat you.”

The panel declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban and allowed previously barred travelers to enter the U.S. But it did not shy away from the larger constitutional questions raised by the order.

The judges sided with the states on every issue except for one technical matter. They rejected the administration’s argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president’s immigration and national security decisions. They said the administration failed to show that the order met constitutional requirements to provide notice or a hearing before restricting travel. And they said the

The court battle is far from over. The lower court still must debate the merits of the ban, and an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seems likely.

That could put the decision in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy. Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, cannot be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban.

The appellate judges noted compelling public interests on both sides.

“On the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And on the other, the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of

families, and in freedom from discrimination.”

The Justice Department said that it was “reviewing the decision and considering its options.” It’s the first day on the job for new Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was sworn in at the White House earlier Thursday by Vice President Mike Pence.

Last week, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation’s refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.

Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 9th Circuit, arguing that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.

The states said Trump’s travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities. Citing Trump’s campaign promise to stop Muslims from entering the U.S., they said the ban unconstitutionally blocked entry to people based on religion.

Conway ‘counseled’ after brand promotion

By JULIE BYKOWICZ and BERNARD CONDON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The White House has “counseled” a top aide to President Donald Trump after she promoted Ivanka Trump’s fashion line during a national cable TV appearance from the White House.

But House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said that’s not enough, calling what Kellyanne Conway did “wrong, wrong, wrong, clearly over the line, unacceptable.”

The Utah Republican congressman and Democratic Oversight Leader Elijah Cummings jointly asked the Office of Government Ethics to review the matter.

Chaffetz also said he will write a formal letter to the White House lodging his irritation. He said White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s remark Thursday that Conway has been “counseled” doesn’t go far enough.

“It needs to be dealt with,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. It’s the first time during the young administration that Chaffetz has questioned an ethical matter.

Speaking later to Utah lawmakers, Chaffetz added: “Of course I’m going to call that out. My job is not to be a cheerleader for the president.”

The White House said later Thursday that Trump “absolutely” contin-

Nordstrom shares sank after Donald Trump tweeted that the department store chain had treated his daughter “so unfairly” when it announced last week that it would stop selling Ivanka Trump’s clothing and accessory line. ues to support Conway. In response to questions from The Associated Press, the White House said Trump didn’t see Conway’s interview on Fox News. But a spokeswoman said Trump “understands she was merely sticking up for a wonderful woman who she has great respect for and felt was treated unfairly.”

In an interview later Thursday evening on Fox, Conway declined to dis-

cuss the case but said she had spoken with Trump and “he supports me 100 percent.”

The ethics dustup began Wednesday with the president himself.

Reacting to news that a department store had dropped his daughter’s line of clothing and accessories, Trump tweeted – and retweeted from the official presidential account – that Ivanka

Trump had been treated “so unfairly by @Nordstrom.”

Ivanka Trump does not have a specific role in the White House but moved to Washington with her husband, Jared Kushner, who is one of Trump’s closest advisers. She followed her father’s approach on business ties by handing over operating control of her fashion company but retaining ownership of it.

In a Thursday morning interview with Fox News from the White House briefing room, Conway urged people to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” boasting that she was giving the brand “a free commercial here.”

While Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are not subject to ethical regulations and laws for federal employees, Conway, who is a counselor to the president, is. Among the rules: An employee shall not use his or her office “for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise.”

“For whatever reason, the White House staff evidently believes that they are protected from the law the same way the president and vice president are,” said Stuart Gilman, a former special assistant to the director of Office of Government Ethics.

He called Conway’s comments “unbelievable” and said they risk wrecking the U.S.’s reputation around the world as a model for government employee ethics.

Health law in jeopardy, but more than 12M sign up

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR and KEVIN S. VINEYS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – More than 12.2 million people have signed up for coverage nationwide this year under the Obama-era health care law even with the uncertainty created by President Donald Trump’s vow to repeal and replace it.

A count by The Associated Press shows that many consumers returned to the program despite its problems.

Aside from the political turmoil, those difficulties include a spike in premiums, rising deductibles and dwindling choice of insurers.

Although initial enrollment is about 4 percent lower than last year, the sizable number of sign-ups illustrates the risk Republicans face as they begin moving to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and put in its place a yetto-be-defined conservative approach.

AP’s analysis showed that a clear majority of those enrolled – nearly 64 percent – live in states that Trump car-

“If they are going to replace it, it had better be as good or better than what is there, and if it’s not, I think it’s going to cost them.”

ried in November.

“If they are going to replace it, it had better be as good or better than what is there, and if it’s not, I think it’s going to cost them,” said John Chipman, a drummer from Austin, Texas, who’s also covering his wife and their two children.

This year the family scaled back from a “silver” plan to “bronze” to avoid a big premium increase.

But without the health law, Chipman said he and his wife would probably be turned down for health insurance because of pre-existing medical

conditions.

The federal Health and Human Services Department reported last week that 9.2 million people signed up in the 39 states served by the HealthCare.gov website, which offers subsidized private health insurance to people who don’t have job-based coverage.

AP checked with the remaining 11 states, and Washington, D.C., and found an additional 3 million enrolled, for a national total of 12.2 million. A full national report from the government won’t be available for at least another month.

Under the health care law, the nation’s uninsured rate has fallen to a historic low of about 9 percent, with about 20 million people gaining coverage since its passage in 2010.

In addition to the subsidized private plans available through HealthCare. gov and state marketplaces, the law offers states the option of extending Medicaid to cover more low-income adults.

Republicans said this year’s enrollment numbers do not equate to a success story for former President Barack

Obama’s signature domestic legislation.

To begin with, the numbers are well short of the 13.8 million people that the Obama administration had hoped to sign up.

Also, the public health insurance markets usually see high attrition as the year goes on, with about 1 in 5 customers eventually dropping out. Some customers don’t even bother to pay their first month’s premium.

“It’s clear overall enrollment numbers are trending downward for ‘Obamacare’ over last year, no doubt due to the law’s unpopular mandates and high costs,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a statement. Republicans “are committed to establishing a responsible transition phase to ensure as much stability as possible for consumers who purchased insurance.”

Asked about the numbers, HHS spokesman Matt Lloyd said the Trump administration sees “Obamacare” as a failure and is pursuing alternatives that will “work for the American people.”

Tribe files legal challenge to stall Dakota Access line

By JAMES MacPHERSON and BLAKE NICHOLSON The Associated Press

CANNON BALL, N.D. – Construction crews have resumed work on the final segment of the Dakota Access pipeline, and the developer of the long-delayed project said Thursday that the full system could be operational within three months.

Meanwhile, an American Indian tribe filed a legal challenge to block the work and protect its water supply.

The Army granted Energy Transfer Partners formal permission Wednesday to lay pipe under a North Dakota reservoir, clearing the way for completion of the 1,200-mile pipeline.

Company spokeswoman Vicki Granado confirmed early Thursday that construction began “immediately after receiving the easement.”

Workers had already drilled entry and exit holes for the segment, and oil had been put in the pipeline leading up to Lake Oahe in anticipation of finishing the project.

“The estimate is 60 days to complete the drill and another 23 days to fill the line to Patoka,” Granado said, referring to the shipping point in Illinois that is the pipeline’s destination.

Work was stalled for months because of opposition by the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes. Both tribes argue that the pipeline threatens their water supply and cultural sites.

In a statement, Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier said the water “is our life. It must be pro-

tected at all costs.”

The Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota borders the Standing Rock reservation, which straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.

The last piece of the pipeline is to pass under the lake on the Missouri River, which marks the eastern border of both reservations.

A separate court battle unfolded between the developer and the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the federal land where the last segment is now being laid. President Donald Trump last month instructed the Corps to advance pipeline construction.

The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday asked a federal judge to stop the work while a lawsuit filed earlier by the tribes proceeds. Attorney Nicole Ducheneaux said in court documents that the pipeline “will desecrate the waters” that the Cheyenne River Sioux rely on.

Energy Transfer Partners, which maintains the pipeline is safe, did not immediately respond in court to the filing. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he would hear arguments from attorneys Monday.

The tribes’ lawsuit, filed last summer, has been on hold while the dispute over the final pipeline segment played out. The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday told the judge that they also want to make a claim on freedom-of-religion grounds.

“The sanctity of these waters is a central tenet of their religion, and the placement of the pipeline itself, apart from any rupture and oil spill, is a desecration of these waters,” Ducheneaux wrote.

Military vehicles are staged near the path of the Dakota Access pipeline Thursday near Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The developer said construction of the Dakota Access pipeline under a North Dakota reservoir has begun, and the full pipeline should be operational within three months. One of two tribes who say the pipeline threatens their water supply filed a legal challenge Thursday asking a court to block construction while an earlier lawsuit against the pipeline proceeds.

OUR VIEW

An unfunded mandate we can support Public school administrators and boards of education have complained bitterly about being inundated with unfunded state mandates, and rightly so.

From what we can tell, however, a new unfunded mandate to test school drinking water for the presence of lead, at $15 to $25 a test, makes sense.

For the record The legislation comes after the We generally oppose Flint, Michigan, wa- unfunded state mandates. But ter crisis, and after because the safety of young dozens of schools children is jeopardized, we in Chicago and the support this requirement. suburbs tested their water on their own and found unsafe lead levels, some at more than 200 times the federal safety threshold of 15 parts per billion in a liter.

The new testing requirement was signed into law last month by Gov. Bruce Rauner. High schools actually aren’t included in the testing requirement, only K-5 elementary schools and licensed day care centers.

The idea is to protect youngsters from lead exposure during their formative years, when it could cause them to suffer lower IQs, decreased ability to pay attention and underperformance at school.

Official rules for testing still are being worked out on the state level. Local schools expect to be apprised of them within three months, and then will proceed with testing. Pre-1987 buildings are the first ones on the agenda; they must be tested before the end of the year.

Some McHenry County school districts have been proactive on the issue and have had their water sources tested. We applaud them for that.

This is an added step on behalf of student and staff safety.

We generally oppose unfunded state mandates. But because the safety of young children is jeopardized, we support this requirement.

As schools and day cares focus on checking for water-borne lead, we’re reminded of what an old-school coach might bellow to his team: “Get the lead out!”

The command takes on a whole new meaning for 21st-century school leaders.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s unwanted gift to Wall Street President Donald Trump says he wants to reduce the regulatory burden on the finance industry.

But by taking aim at a new rule on retirement advice, he’ll most likely add to that burden – and harm many small investors at the same time.

In the U.S., saving for retirement can be a perilous endeavor.

“Free” advice often isn’t. Advisers such as brokers and insurance agents usually work on commissions that encourage them to steer less sophisticated customers into expensive funds and annuities and away from better, cheaper alternatives. Typically they don’t disclose this conflict of interest.

Estimates say the extra fees add up to billions of dollars a year, money that would otherwise go toward retirees’ financial security.

After much debate and consultation, the Labor Department last year issued a rule to protect investors: Advisers who get paid to recommend retirement investments must disclose the arrangement. The rule also holds them to

the same fiduciary standard that applies to most other financial advisers, meaning they can be sued for failing to put clients’ interests first. Note that it doesn’t apply to financial education and simple marketing – so, for example, big mutual-fund companies such as Vanguard or Fidelity could keep selling their products on their own websites.

Just as the industry was getting ready to comply, Trump has ordered the Labor Department to review the rule with an eye to rescinding or revising it.

His National Economic Council director, Gary Cohn, has criticized the rule for “putting only healthy options on the menu” – as if parsing opaque conflicts and investment options were as simple as choosing between oatmeal and doughnuts. This is no way to go about reducing the regulatory burden. Plans have been made.

Many financial firms say they’ll comply regardless. Scrapping the rule mainly would benefit the least scrupulous advisers, while

adding to regulatory uncertainty for the rest.

This isn’t to say the rule is perfect. Discouraging commissions could lead advisers to stop serving people with small accounts.

Research suggests this may have happened in the U.K., which recently adopted a similar but more stringent rule. The Labor Department should be on the lookout for such unintended consequences.

Congress might even want to consider opening the federal Thrift Savings Plan – available to legislators and their staff – to people who don’t have access to a retirement plan at work. Encouragingly, though, financial companies are rapidly rolling out inexpensive automated services that might address any “advice gap.”

Dropping the fiduciary rule at this point is a lose-lose proposition. It would mean worse retirement advice for the people who need it most, and added costs for much of the industry. President Trump should let it stand.

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.

Disappointing service

To the Editor: It’s time to replace Mike Lesperance.

We had high hopes, but he has been very disappointing.

The past four years, we have seen an increase in lawsuits and legal fees associated with the inability of the current administration to understand the concept of due process and community relations. Fences have been torn down, one in particular on private property, historic pillars stolen when they could have been moved, other communities threatened with similar action and ditches dug to surround one property when the owner complained about damage to his driveway.

The crew does a great job, but they are not treated respectfully, and thus there is a revolving door because of the person who runs the department.

If his crew wasn’t placed in situations where they were at odds with residents, then their job would be much more enjoyable.

Treat them like kids

To the Editor: Go to bed with no dinner! This should be told to the Democrats who are acting like kids. Let’s treat them like kids. They are telling us they are going to disrupt President Donald Trump in any way they can. Are they from another world? This is America, and Trump is president. Back him, support him and work with him, or leave Washington.

We are in troubled times in the world, and we need to work together. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told us Democrats would block the Supreme Court nominee before he knew who it was. Really? Nancy Pelosi said there are no problems in her district with illegal immigrants. Really?

When do we get people in posts who really want to better our nation and not say “na na na, we are not going to play”?

I don’t know who took the ball and who took the bat when they left a recent session, but that is sad.

Liberals unglued

To the Editor: After reading the Letters to the Editor over the past few weeks, it is clear the mental health problems in this country are far greater than I suspected.

A couple that stand out include the man who wrote his own obituary. He talks about how we have destroyed the planet and he longs for the days of moderate and predictable weather.

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days.

Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. The deadline for submitting election-related letters is March 24. All

Dude, where have you been living the past 81 years? Did you ever take a history class where they talked about the Dust Bowl, plagues of locust, and other catastrophic weather events that have occurred throughout history? The world was never “San Diego like” with sunny skies and 70 degree temperatures for 300 days a year.

Next was the woman who said old, white, GOP men would come and take away her right to have an abortion. She talked about all of the high-risk pregnancies that occur and how those women will now die. Talk about spreading “fake news” around the county.

Finally, you have all of the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” folks protesting and terrorizing the nation. It is clear liberals in this country have come unglued, and we must do something about it for the sake of the nation.

I implore President Donald Trump to de-fund Planned Parenthood to stop the murder of infants and the selling of baby parts. The money saved can be used to buy antidepressants that will be free for all the poor souls who cannot survive in our new “America First” world.

Expanded waste program

To the Editor: I live in an unincorporated area of McHenry Township, and one of the best things that happened in our neighborhood recently was huge. The Solid Waste Management program the McHenry County Department of Health expanded to include all of unincorporated McHenry Township has greatly improved our quality of life by bidding and selecting only one company to provide garbage and recycling services to those of us who want those services.

I commend the McHenry County Board for enacting the program in a timely manner. Kristy Hecke, the Solid Waste manager for the county Department of

Health, was most instrumental in getting it done. The program provides dramatic cost reduction and includes leaf pickup.

Steve Koerber, Bob Beltran and their Nondedicated Roads Coalition urged the county to expand the program and include everybody.

Our environment is going to be better, and all of our roads will last longer because the needlessly insane number of heavy trucks destroying our roads will be dramatically reduced.

Koerber and Beltran aspire to be elected McHenry Township government officials. I hope they are elected in April. What they did for us was brilliant.

Reversing stereotypes

To the Editor: In a time when government is stereotyped as inefficient and unresponsive, Bob Miller, during his tenure as Algonquin Township highway commissioner, has made it his mission to reverse those stereotypes.

In working with him over an extended period, I have observed Bob in his work with the community and found him eminently approachable. He listens to those who disagree with him, providing productive and good-faith response.

Significantly, Bob does not wait for issues to come to him, but works to identify them and devise constructive solutions. His service-oriented, cooperative approach is a model for business as well as government.

I am compelled to add that Bob’s staff reflects his values, foremost among them his wife, Anna May, of whom I cannot speak highly enough. They form a working partnership benefiting citizens of Algonquin Township and beyond.

I wholeheartedly endorse Bob Miller’s re-election as Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner.

To the Editor: Volunteers at the Woodstock Food Pantry always are glad to receive donations, but during the first months of the year and summer, there are no major food drives and not enough donations.

Seniors and others who are in need within District 200 school boundaries depend on the food help they receive at the pantry.

The food pantry is across from the Red Mill restaurant in the Dorr Township building. Canned soups, vegetables, meats, pastas, tuna, cereals and other nonperishables are needed. The pantry also accepts cash donations and checks.

Pantry volunteers use these to buy staples at reduced prices.

Drop off your donations and ask for a green slip for tax purposes. The pantry is open from 9 a.m to. 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (A reminder: we can’t give food that is outdated to those asking for our help.) Your continued support of the food pantry is greatly appreciated by all those involved.

Jennings is a diligent and efficient professional who takes his position as Nunda Township supervisor seriously.

His farsighted resourcefulness and flexibility have benefited residents in many ways.

One example is Jennings’ creation of the Nunda Garden. He worked with other local government and academic agencies to build a food pantry garden on under-utilized land. Now that land has produced thousands of pounds of fresh produce for those in need and created a community of dedicated volunteers and food pantry clients and opportunities for those in need to have space to grow their own produce.

Jennings’ thorough understanding of the township’s needs shows he deserves another term. Vote Lee Jennings for Nunda Township supervisor.

BUSINESS Celebrity megaphone fails to lure new users to Twitter

By BARBARA ORUTAY

The sign outside of Twitter headquarters is seen in 2013 in San Francisco.

Twitter announced Thursday that the company is struggling to convert its headline omnipresence into cash and its profit expectations going forward is sending investors scattering.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Many people have heard of Twitter. Not enough of them are signing up to use it.

Twitter’s role as a megaphone for the U.S. president, countless celebrities and businesses hasn’t attracted regular people to the service – not in the way Facebook has, or even Instagram and Snapchat.

The San Francisco company’s latest earnings report and dismal forecast suggest that this is unlikely to change any time soon. CEO Jack Dorsey acknowledged long ago that Twitter needs to do more to convince people why it’s useful.

“The whole world is watching Twitter. While we may not be meeting everyone’s growth expectations, there’s one thing that continues to grow and outpace our peers: Twitter’s influence and impact,” Dorsey said in a conference call with analysts Thursday. “You don’t go a day without hearing about Twitter.”

But that doesn’t amount to much if Twitter can’t translate influence into boosting its user base, advertising and revenue. Rumors of a potential sale of the company have long swirled, but no buyers have emerged. Twitter has dismissed such speculation, doubling down instead on making the service safer, differentiating it from rivals and becoming profitable for the first time in 2017.

While Dorsey and Twitter have taken major steps recently to address some of users’ biggest concerns, including clamping down on hate speech and

abuse, this has yet to make a notable difference in drawing new users. For the final three months of 2016, Twitter averaged 319 million monthly users, up only 4 percent from a year ago.

Meanwhile, Twitter has yet to address other issues, including simple ones such as the ability to edit tweets.

“Just like Myspace, perhaps, Twitter does not (want) to ‘change the formula’ for fear of losing its unique simple user experience,” Mark Skilton, a professor at Warwick Business School, wrote in an email. “But the shareholders and CEO Jack Dorsey are running out of time.”

Twitter’s revenue growth has stalled for more than two years, and the company is cutting costs and shuffling executives. Dorsey, the Twitter co-founder who rejoined the company in late 2015 with hopes of reviving it, called 2016 “a transformative year as we reset and fo-

cused on why people use Twitter: It’s the fastest way to see what’s happening and what everyone’s talking about.”

Even before the election, Donald Trump used Twitter like no other presidential candidate, firing out broadsides and accolades in rapid succession and generating headline after headline with 140-character missives.

His election has created a more active landscape for Twitter. Average daily active usage rose 11 percent compared with the same time last year. But Trump’s tweets haven’t inspired people to sign up for the service en masse. The increased usage is mostly among existing users.

Because of Twitter’s public nature, users can see a lot of what’s published there – such as Trump’s tweetstorms – without creating an account. And the service can be difficult to use for people not versed in lingo like hashtags,

@-replies and the like. The company also hasn’t quite been able to explain just why people need it – unlike Facebook, for example, which is widely seen as a place to keep up with friends and family. Facebook’s base of 1.86 billion monthly users is nearly six times that of Twitter.

Meanwhile, Instagram attracts 600 million monthly users who want to share photos and videos with friends or the broader world. And Snapchat, best known for disappearing photos and messages and quirky facial filters, is a favorite among millennials. It has 158 million daily users (the company doesn’t disclose monthly users, as rivals do).

In a charged political and social environment, Twitter is trying to balance its position as a platform for free speech while curtailing hate speech and bullying. Twitter has taken several steps to address abuse, although it’s too early to tell whether they are working. This week, Twitter said it has begun identifying people who have been banned for abusive behavior and will stop them from creating new accounts. Twitter also said it’s creating a “safe search” feature to remove tweets with potentially sensitive content and those from accounts you have blocked or “muted,” which is slightly less drastic than blocking someone.

But what matters most to Wall Street is making a profit – something Twitter has yet to do in its 11-year existence. Losses for Twitter swelled to $167 million in the fourth quarter, from $90.2 million a year earlier, as revenue inched up 1 percent to $717 million.

LOS ANGELES – George and Amal Clooney may want to share pregnancy notes with Beyonce and Jay Z. The Clooneys are expecting twins in June, Julie Chen said Thursday on CBS’ “The Talk.” George Clooney told Chen in late January that his wife, a human rights attorney, was pregnant, “The Talk” host said.

The Clooneys’ news followed Beyonce and Jay Z’s announcement last week that the superstar singer is expecting twins.

The children will be the first for the couple, who married in 2014.

Aretha is retiring: Singer plans 1 more album

Travis Tritt (from left), Michael Ray, Randy Travis, Mary Travis and Ricky Traywick appear on stage Wednesday at the “1 Night. 1 Place. 1 Time.: A Heroes and Friends Tribute to Randy Travis” at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Music community honors country star Randy Travis in song NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A near fatal stroke couldn’t take away the signature baritone of country star Randy Travis, and dozens of his friends, from Garth Brooks to Kenny Rogers, used their voices and his songs to honor the legend.

Travis watched from the side of the stage Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee, as country stars from multiple eras sang his classics, from “Forever and Ever, Amen” to “Three Wooden Crosses.” Performers included Wynonna, Alabama, Chris Young, Travis Tritt and Jeff Foxworthy.

By the end, he had joined in the celebration by singing “Amazing Grace” and leading others in singing “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

Travis, whose multiplatinum debut album “Storms of Life” in 1986 made him a star, suffered a stroke in 2013 that initially took away his ability to speak or read. But he’s been steadily recovering his voice through rehabilitation, said his wife Mary Travis.

“We sing a lot in the car,” said Mary Travis, backstage beside her husband.

“We sing a lot at home. Music is his soul. Music is just what he is made of.”

She said that it’s clear that her husband still remembers how to sing and play the guitar, but the stroke caused a condition called aphasia that makes it difficult for him to communicate.

The concert was held to raise proceeds for a new foundation set up in his name to help stroke victims. Travis suffered from a viral infection of the heart and was in a coma when the stroke occurred. He spent more than five months in the hospital and underwent two brain surgeries, but battled back through years of rehabilitation.

NEW YORK – At 74, the Queen of Soul has decided to take it a little easier.

Aretha Franklin is planning to retire this year, she told Detroit TV station WDIV Local 4, the city’s NBC affiliate. The singer said she will make one more album, with several tracks produced by Stevie Wonder, and will otherwise limit herself to “some select things, many one a month, for six months out of the year” as she devotes more time to her grandchildren. She also said 2017 will be her “last year in concert.”

“This will be my last year,” Franklin said.

“I will be recording, but this will be my last year in concert. This is it.”

On Thursday, a representative for Franklin confirmed her remarks made to WDIV. Franklin, whose many hits include “Respect” and “Think,” added that she did not want to do “just nothing.” But she said that she is otherwise “very satisfied” with her career and is ready to step back. She has had health problems in recent years, including surgery in 2010 for undisclosed reasons that left many fearing her life was in danger.

Forget for the Rest of Your Life” tour, which launches Friday in Sarasota, Florida.

“I think it’s more important to find safe islands where you can put all this endless negative energy aside and celebrate something that’s perhaps nonpartisan,” Short said.

“It’s like when you have a fight with your wife. It’s always difficult for either side to admit they were wrong. Right now, no one’s going to admit that they were wrong.”

The show includes stand-up comedy, film clips, musical numbers and conversations about their lives in show business.

Costas, who has been the on-air concierge to NBC’s Olympics 11 times starting in 1992, said he decided on his own a year ago that the time was right for a change.

“This is entirely on my terms and I like it that way,” Costas said Thursday. He said he wants to do some commentary on special Steve Martin, Martin Short events – maybe even the Olympics – and team up for national tour long-form programming, likening his new NEW YORK – Comedians Steve Martin role to what former news anchor Tom Broand Martin Short are gearing up for a kaw does at NBC.

PARENTING

Home for the summer

At camp, American expats’ kids get better acquainted with U.S.

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

When her kids were younger, Marty Merkt would fly them across the world each year from their home in China as soon as school ended. They’d arrive in the U.S. and spend a day or two sleeping off their jet lag. Then they’d pile in the car and drive several hours to summer camp in northern Wisconsin.

After 10 months amid skyscrapers in sprawling Shanghai, Merkt’s children would plunge into a traditional American summer, hiking and camping and roasting marshmallows under the stars.

Some of those same experiences can be had in China, of course. But many American parents who are raising kids abroad see summer camp as a vital tool in helping their expat offspring feel at home in their country of origin.

Learning about America

Brief family vacations in the U.S. just don’t connect children with American culture the way that a month of swimming and boat rowing and soccer playing with other American kids can.

For some, it’s literally an introduction to America. Melanie Horton’s son was an American boy by passport, but was born and raised in Okinawa, Japan, while she worked as a teacher in Department of Defense schools.

“This is basically home for him,” she said of Japan. “This is what he knows.”

An accomplished athlete, he now attends summer sports camps on the UCLA campus, learning about American life while doing football – American football – drills.

Expat kids deal with “not being hip to everything in the States,” Horton said. When so much is unfamiliar, “you go to the mall and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, wow!’ ” Time spent socializing with camp friends can help bridge that gap.

Liz Klimek’s kids were raised in Japan and Korea, and their main experience of America has been sleepaway soccer camp in Texas and Missouri. Basic things like the size of portions at U.S. restaurants and the sweetness of American candy gave them culture shock. But

“[Japan] is basically home for him. This is what he knows.”

Melanie Horton

American living in Shanghai, who returns to the U.S. each summer so her son can attend traditional summer camp summer camp his father and grandfather attended in Wisconsin.

He always has been self-motivated, she said, but she “wanted him to have a little grit,” get dirty and experience a month of life without too many conveniences.

At camp, he did his own laundry and swept his cabin floor. He had the freedom to plan his own day, choosing among a slate of outdoor activities.

On sunny afternoons, he’d walk with a group of other kids – no grown-ups – down a tree-lined road to get ice cream.

He also was responsible for writing letters to his parents, and couldn’t use digital devices or other screens.

Although three of his Chinese friends flew to the U.S. to attend the camp with him, his parents made sure all three boys didn’t bunk in the same cabin. So he made friends with American kids, even as he deepened ties with his school friends from Shanghai.

Preparing for the future

Summer athletic camps also can help teens establish credentials for playing sports in college – something Photo provided American kids do simply by playing In this July 2016 photo provided by Melanie Horton, American teenager Jeffrey Horton sports in their towns or at school.

It’s no secret working parents have a difficult time with the elusive work-life balance. For starters, there is the 40-hour workweek, which often spills beyond 8-hour days. Then there is the ever-present flow of emails, meetings and occasional work trips that must be juggled with quotidian chores: making dinner, cleaning up and helping with homework, just to name a few.

This balancing act is the subject of “Work Pause Thrive: How to Pause for Parenthood Without Killing Your Career” (BenBella Books), a new book by Lisen Stromberg. It’s the latest book that extrapolates on how women, and men to a lesser degree, can get ahead in their careers while in the thick of parenting. Stromberg argues that mothers can “pause” their careers and focus on caregiving duties without harming their professional paths, as some tend to believe.

In fact, many moms at the top of their industries have taken breaks, Stromberg points out, including television journalist Meredith Vieira and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

The classic career ladder paradigm, climbing one rung after another until the

top is reached, “doesn’t work for those of us with caregiving responsibilities,” Stromberg writes.

A former advertising executive, Stromberg faced a tipping point in her career.

The book opens with a scene where she’s on a business trip and the plane hits turbulent air. At the time, Stromberg is 33 years old and 24 weeks pregnant with her second child, and she goes into pre-term labor on the flight.

Stromberg’s frustration in dealing with a high-flying career in advertising and parenting two young children – and eventually a third – segues into her research on the subject.

For the book, she conducted first-person interviews with 186 women and surveyed almost 1,500 others to get their experiences balancing work and family. Most of the women who responded to Stromberg’s survey said they never expected to take a career break, but ultimately did once children came into the picture. Those who stayed out of the workforce less than five years found re-entry easier than their counterparts who stayed out longer.

Although readers may be familiar with some of the factual pillars supporting the book’s structure, they’ll likely be encouraged by the central theme: it’s OK to pause for parenting.

Sleep apnea common in older men Dear Doctor: My wife’s uncle, who lives with us, is 76 and obese. I have noticed he sleeps an awful lot – to me, anyway. He sleeps approximately five or six hours a night and then later while sitting on the couch. He frequently takes afternoon naps or will fall asleep while reading and will also fall asleep while watching TV at night. My wife doesn’t seem to be concerned. Should we be?

Dear Reader: The quick answer is yes, you should be worried. I wouldn’t assume that your wife’s uncle’s sleepiness is a function of age. The details you provide make me suspect sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder, affecting 15 percent of adult males, that occurs when people are sleeping. The biggest risk factors are obesity, being male and older age. Your wife’s uncle has all three of these. In a 2000 study of 700 adults, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, every 10 percent increase in weight is associated with a sixfold increase in the rate of sleep apnea. With the rates of obesity increasing over the last 30 years, the rates of sleep apnea have also increased. In sleep apnea, lying flat creates an obstruction of the airway, so much so that the person stops breathing. This is noted as a pause in breathing that can last for a few seconds to longer than a minute. What the partners of sleep apnea patients typically hear is snoring that stops when the patient’s airway obstructs. This is followed by a lack of breathing sounds, then a gasping of air as the patient tries to recover his or her breathing.

Patients themselves don’t notice this pattern.

Because sleep apnea interferes with deep sleep (stages 3 and 4), sleepiness and fatigue are the most common signs of sleep apnea.

But the risks go beyond sleepiness. Chronic sleep apnea in men leads to a higher risk of hypertension and diabetes and lower testosterone levels. Over the years, sleep apnea places stress upon the heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Further,

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley sleep apnea increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms in the middle of the night, which can lead to sudden death. Considering the degree of your wife’s uncle’s daytime sleepiness, he may have severe sleep apnea.

I would voice these concerns to your wife’s family members, and urge them to enroll him in a sleep study for a definitive diagnosis. I have many patients whom I suspect of having sleep apnea, but who are reluctant to take part in a sleep study because they don’t want to sleep in a lab, even one designed for sleep.

If your uncle shares that fear, tell him – as I tell my patients – that a sleep study can also be done in the comfort of their own home with a monitor hooked up in the house.

After diagnosis comes treatment. Sleep apnea is correctable with use of a pressure mask that keeps the airway open, called CPAP, for continuous positive airway pressure. That’s not to say CPAP is an easy cure. Many people have difficulty using this mask at night, and still others don’t want to investigate the possibility of sleep apnea for fear of having to wear a mask over their face all night. For those who have difficulty with CPAP, a device called a mandibular advancement device is also an option. This device acts like a rigid retainer to push the lower jaw forward and open up the airway.

Despite the unpleasantness of the remedies, your wife’s uncle and family should be made aware that sleeping all day isn’t normal and that a sleep study is vital. The health risks are too great to ignore.

fizzled on your part. Does your wife know how you feel? If she doesn’t, you’re both overdue for a serious talk. Before tossing aside your long marriage, you should give marriage counseling a try to see if you can rediscover what attracted you to her in the first place. If that doesn’t work, a move for you may be in order. But first, a warning: If you leave their mother, the “kids” may not be as glad to see you as you might assume they will be.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have never received a romanJeanne tic Valentine, and Phillips that’s OK with me. With all the sappy movies on TV and the stores blooming in pink and red, we often forget that St. Valentine wasn’t the one in love. (He was a Roman priest who married Christian couples and was killed for his trouble.) My advice to others, particularly singles, is to take a page out of St. Valentine’s book and focus not on yourself, but on others.

Every year on Feb. 14 I give everyone I encounter a kiddie Valentine, and every year at least one person is delighted. I have been doing this for the last 20 years and my St. Valentine’s Days have been happy because of it. It’s amazing the difference that focusing on giving rather than receiving can make. (And it works any day of the year.) – Kid At Heart Dear Kid: I couldn’t agree more with your positive philosophy. Reading your letter lifted my spirits, and I hope it will bring a smile to my readers as it did for me. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Abby: I am wondering about the proper way to handle something. I found a dentist I really like and plan to continue seeing for regular cleanings. I asked my dentist to complete an estimate for orthodontic work, and the cost was several thousand dollars. I got a few more estimates and found another company that can do the same work and will charge a lot less.

I plan to go with the least expensive option.

However, when I return to the dentist, I’m afraid it will be awkward or that I’ll be perceived as rude for not accepting their service bid. Help! –

Albert Einstein said, “Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse.”

Bridge experts sometimes hide their secrets by means of ruse -- as in today’s deal. It was played by Australian junior international Andy Hung (South) and was described by Ron Klinger, that country’s most prolific writer-teacher-player.

East’s two-diamond opening showed a weak major two-suiter.

(This gadget is becoming increasingly popular in the tournament world.)

Hung started with a takeout double, being a tad wary about his short holdings in the majors, but when West pre-empted to three hearts, Hung bid three no-trump, hoping for the best.

After West led the heart king, and East encouraged with the three (upside-down signals), what did declarer do?

South had eight winners: two spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. Extra winners could have been established in clubs, but that involved losing the lead and, presumably, watching the opponents run their hearts. Was there a possibility?

Hung found a play that would have occurred to almost no one. At trick two, he returned the heart 10!

Yes, West, given his partner’s signal at trick one, should have played low, but he won with his queen and shifted to a spade.

Declarer won with dummy’s ace, cashed the diamonds, then played the ace and another club. The heart suit was blocked, so the defenders took only one club and three hearts.

If South’s ruse had not worked, he would have rued not being in five -or, here, six! -- clubs.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 50, WOODSTOCK 39

Getting defensive

Soph Haeflinger spearheads Indians’ effort

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Marengo sophomore Erin Haeflinger had only three points at halftime, but it wasn’t her offense that Indians coach Nick Rode praised after Thursday’s Kishwaukee River Conference girls basketball game against Woodstock.

Haeflinger, a 5-foot-7 sophomore, helped rally a stagnant Indians defense after the first quarter, holding her – and sometimes a second – assignment from breaking open the game. Marengo’s offense finally caught up, as the Indians finished the first half on a 12-2 run to tie the score and then pull away for a 50-39 victory.

Haeflinger finished with 10 points and six rebounds, while sophomore guard Marissa Knobloch had a gamehigh 20 points and three 3-pointers. She hit 9 of 10 free throws in the second half.

“Erin Haeflinger played a very active game,” Rode said. “She was continuously stopping the ball, whether it was her kid or not. A lot of times she was covering (Woodstock’s Gabriella) Scolio, but she recognized there’s a baseline drive and she’s got to drop and stop the ball.

“We had a couple of kids getting more active from the help line, ... getting help on lobs over the top, closing out on driving lanes early, and closing out before they even get a step in the lane.”

Marengo’s run carried over into the second half, as Haeflinger made the first bucket and Hannah Ritter’s layup in the first 45 seconds of the third quarter gave the Indians (11-16, 6-6 KRC) a 26-22 lead.

The Indians led, 38-31, after the third quarter, and scored 12 points in the fourth quarter without taking a shot as Woodstock was forced to foul. Marengo hit 12 of 15 foul shots in the final eight minutes, finishing 25 of 39 for the game.

Marengo finished 3-1 against Woodstock this season, splitting two conference games and beating the Streaks twice in tournaments.

“The last time we played them, we kind of thought that we had it in the bag because of the first two (games),” Knobloch said. “We didn’t come out with any energy, but tonight we did,

Woodstock’s Autumn Overly (left) and Marengo’s Trinity Chanthalansy try to corral the ball during Thursday night’s game at Woodstock High School. Marengo won, 50-39. and we won. We moved the ball, played better defense and got more points in transition.”

Ritter finished with eight points and a game-high five assists, while Jordan Parker added six points and Lauren Aubry had four for the Indians.

“We knew what each competitor had in them, so it basically came down to the little plays of diving for the ball, and free throws, definitely,” Haeflinger said. “I think we finished it strong.

Those little plays spark the energy in the team.”

CARY-GROVE FOOTBALL

Friends remember coach, teammate, business owner’s cheerful personality

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

• Friday, February 10, 2017

The football programs of CaryGrove and Rockford East were shaken Thursday morning with the news that Alex Kube was dead at age 29.

Kube, a 2006 C-G graduate who trained many local athletes at his Elite 7 facility, was pronounced dead at 11:50 p.m. Wednesday at Rockford Memorial Hospital. Winnebago County coroner Bill Hintz performed an autopsy Thursday, but said the preliminary cause of death will need further studies.

Those around the C-G program will remember Kube as an effervescent personality and a terrific athlete. Kube coached last season as Rockford East’s defensive backs coach, and those in that program grew to know him in a similar manner.

Kube was selected as the 2005 Northwest Herald Football Player of the Year and went on to have a successful career at Northern Illinois University as a linebacker. He had NFL tryouts with the Bears and Minnesota Vikings before he went into business as the owner of Elite 7.

“I couldn’t really process it. It was just numbing, basically,” said 2007 C-G graduate Andrew Lorman, who played with Kube. “[I’ll remember] the way he made people enjoy life. He would always go out of his way to make you smile or make a joke.”

C-G started its rise to one of the state’s top programs in 2004 when the Trojans were Class 7A state runners-up to Libertyville. Kube was a running back and safety on that 13-1 team. His twin brother, Blake, was a defensive end.

Former C-G coach Bruce Kay and current coach Brad Seaburg both say that team raised the standards for a program that has made the quarterfinals 10 of the past 13 seasons.

Brian Mitz, the quarterback of that 2004 team, sobbed while remembering Kube on Thursday.

“His personality, he was always a fun guy to be around,” said Mitz, the son of Jacobs coach Bill Mitz. “He always brought that enjoyment when you were down. He never dealt with the negative. I know he was younger

He brought the best out in everybody.”

Kay once said that if he were running a company, regardless of what the company did, he would hire Kube.

“He was so passionate as a player in the weight room, he was a competitor and personable,” Kay said. “Passionate and personable are two things that come off the top. He did anything we asked him to do; he led by example. He had such a strong will to succeed. He made me look good, I’ll tell you that.”

Kay considered Kube one of the building blocks to the Trojans’ great tradition that has seen them play in four state championships and won the 2009 Class 6A title.

Many of the current Trojans, including C-G’s career rushing leader Tyler Pennington, knew Kube was a great player, and were better acquainted with him for his training expertise.

“It’s just a shock, such a young person, just … you never expect to hear something like that,” Seaburg said. “Our guys have a good sense of what our program has been and who’s played in it and what it’s meant. Alex is one of those guys who is very wellknown, having the success he had in

college and the success he had at CaryGrove, and carrying that into his business life, too.”

Kube ran Elite 7 out of East Dundee until last year. He moved to Rockford when his wife, Elizabeth, was hired by a hospital there, and he joined the staff at Tim Bailey’s Top Performers Sports Performance Training in Loves Park.

Rockford East coach Gary Griffin had two players, safety Marcus Hayes and running back Jalen Griffin (the coach’s son), work with Kube last summer. Once Gary Griffin got to know Kube, he sent more players to him and hired Kube as his defensive backs coach.

Gary Griffin said Kube’s experience, ability and knowledge in working with East’s players was invaluable.

The E-Rabs went from 1-8 to 4-5 with a more respectable defense and beat Boylan and Belvidere, something they had not accomplished in decades. Griffin thought a big part of that was the back half of the defense and how Kube had it prepared every week.

Griffin called a players’ meeting at school to deliver the news Thursday so they didn’t find out on social media.

“It’s a life lesson for our kids that none of us are invincible,” Griffin said.

“Here’s a kid who had all the opportunities in the world, played Division I football, was in NFL camps, but you can’t beat health; it’s just one of those things.”

Like those at C-G, Griffin appreciated Kube’s ability to lighten the mood.

“After school, our staff was talking and we were laughing,” Griffin said.

“We had this big kid, he’s probably 6-foot-5, 300 pounds and had never played football before in his life. He can’t play D-line because he don’t want to get hit. He can’t play O-line because he don’t want to get hit. Alex would go over and get him and say, ‘Hey, coach Griffin needs you to play tight end.’

He’d come running in and I’m like, ‘What are you doing out here?’ He’d say, ‘Coach Alex sent me over here.’

And Alex would be 45 yards from me on the ground, crying from laughing so hard.”

Griffin said the E-Rabs’ staff and players will only have good memories of their one season with Kube.

“The bad memory will be the last time I see him is not …,” Griffin said, gathering his thoughts, “it’s not laughing or screwing around in the locker room. It’s him laying in a casket.”

A moment of silence also from BC, the Thunder were not ready, was held before tipoff. as a strong third quarter propelled the Rockets to a 47-36 win over Woodstock North in its regular-season finale in second half, holding the Thunder to only four made field goals and forcing Kishwaukee River Conference play.

The Rockets (14-14, 8-4 KRC) out- 12 turnovers after halftime. scored Woodstock North by 18 in the “We missed shots. I think in the first

half, we got the looks we wanted and were able to knock them down,” Lewis said. “[The Rockets] missed some shots that they felt like they probably should have hit. They came out and were a lot more aggressive in the third quarter, taking the ball to the rim.”

The Thunder (12-15, 6-6) were led by seniors LuLu Nicks (12 points), Madison Butler and Paiton Lawrence (eight points each) on their senior night.

Nicks and Lawrence each knocked down two 3-pointers in the game, but that quick run by BC – something they were ready for mentally coming out of halftime – ultimately hurt any chances of Woodstock North ending a fourgame losing streak.

“I think we knew that because they are a good team, they would come out strong,” Nicks said. “I think we honestly were ready for it mentally, but it didn’t happen on the court. They got a couple of quick baskets, we had some turnovers, and it got out of hand after that.”

BC’s Mackenzie West scored a gamehigh 16 points, snagged six rebounds and blocked three shots.

Although Lewis’ group finishes the regular season with five straight losses, he said there are positives to take into the postseason.

With those losses coming against Sycamore, KRC champion Johnsburg (twice), Woodstock and now BC, he doesn’t feel as though his team played poorly, but instead played quality opponents at a good time in the season.

“If you look at the back end of our schedule, we’ve played some pretty darn tough teams,” Lewis said. “All three of those last teams were at the top of our conference. We played well early on and put ourselves still in a good position gearing into regionals. Although we have lost these games, the effort and execution is there. We’re there, but we just have to be a little more efficient and finish.”

WRESTLING: SECTIONAL PREVIEW

With state berths on the line, postseason gets ‘real’

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com In the grand scheme of things, sectionals are just another round of the wrestling state series, but as the final step on the road to the state tournament, everything, from the quality of competition to the tension and pressure, is ratcheted up a notch this weekend.

“Last week it was serious, like ‘All right, we’re getting into state series.’

But as you go into sectionals, it’s like, ‘All right, this is the real deal, make it down state,’ ” Huntley’s Josh Stenger said. “I think going into sectionals it’s a lot more serious, and it just made me realize, like, ‘All right, it’s game time, time to pick it up and wrestle tough.’ ” The 81 local wrestlers remaining will compete at four sectionals this weekend.

Jacobs, Dundee-Crown, CaryGrove, Crystal Lake South, Huntley and McHenry will be at the Class 3A Barrington Sectional. In 2A, Hampshire will be at the Sterling Sectional while Crystal Lake Central, Prairie Ridge, Harvard, Johnsburg, Marengo, Marian Central, Richmond-Burton, Woodstock and Woodstock North will be at the Wauconda Sectional. Alden-Hebron has two wrestlers in the 1A Byron Sectional.

Sectional assignment Class 1A Byron Sectional Alden-Hebron (2) Class 2A Sterling Sectional Hampshire (4) Class 2A Wauconda Sectional Crystal Lake Central (9), Prairie Ridge (4), Harvard (7), Johnsburg (5), Marengo (5), Richmond-Burton (2), Woodstock (2), Woodstock North (3), Marian Central (5) Class 3A Barrington Sectional Jacobs (6), Dundee-Crown (3), Cary-Grove (3), Crystal Lake South (3), Huntley (10), McHenry (8) Wrestling begins Friday evening with opening-round matches and then quarterfinals. They return Saturday morning for consolation matches, then the all-important semifinals and finals in the afternoon.

The top-four finishers in each bracket advance to next week’s state tournament in Champaign. Last year, 43 local wrestlers made it to state.

Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen, Marian Central’s Luke Silva and Huntley’s Stenger are the only returning sectional champions from a year ago. Petersen, the area’s only returning state champion, is looking to make his fourth consecutive trip to

Champaign.

Huntley leads the way with 10 sectional wrestlers, followed by Crystal Lake Central with nine, McHenry with eight and Harvard with seven.

“We try to keep things as loose as possible, but it’s definitely a step up in competition – big step up in competition,” McHenry coach Jake Guardalabene said. “As far as our attitude and our focus, it’s still staying the same.

Still wrestling, still staying focused, we don’t want to make too big a deal out of it, just wrestling as usual. ...

“They know there’s pressure on them, but we’ve got six out of our eight guys who are first-time sectional qualifiers, so they don’t really know what to expect.”

Different programs prepare for the sectional challenge in their own ways.

Some make sure to get duals against schools in their same sectional, while some, such as Crystal Lake Central and Huntley, just wrestle a tough schedule and try not to see too much of their future opponents.

“We have a couple kids we worked specific things of guys we know they’re going to match up with, but, really, at this time of the year, our kids kind of know you can’t replicate the pressure of being in a situation where if you don’t win a certain match, you’re done and it could be your season,” Crystal

Lake Central coach Justen Lehr said.

“We preach to our kids all the time, our schedule, we’ve seen the best competition we can see. So we’ve replicated that, so it’s just a matter of them keeping their head right and wrestling like they have all year. ...

“We talk more about the mental aspect this week than we do anything else with game plan or anything like that.”

Lehr and Huntley coach BJ Bertelsman both said they don’t worry too much about records, either, after competing in a number of grueling tournaments.

“I know there’s other teams that get caught up in looking at that stuff in brackets, and at the end of the day records don’t matter,” Lehr said. “We know we’re going to see some guys that are 30-something-and-2, and whether it works out or not, I’ll take our kids with 10 (wins) and 15 losses against those guys just because of the experience we have.”

As Guardalabene said, “There’s not one guy that’s just going to be able to walk through their bracket at sectionals, it’s totally different. You see guys every year that you think are shoo-ins to go to state don’t make it, and then you see guys every year who you don’t think have any business going to state turn it on and get through.”

Inside Girls Basketball helped me get through it, but I’m in a little bit of pain. But I’ll definitely be able to make it through the rest of the season.”

Kendeigh is second on the team with 6.8 points a game, trailed closely by Maddie Gorz (6.4 points). The Trojans have won four straight conference games going into their home finale.

She also missed the majority of her sophomore season with a stress fracture, and missed parts of her junior year with a concussion.

“She’s dealt with some injuries the last couple of years, and it’s that time of year that everybody is a little banged up,” Trojans coach Rod Saffert said. “We rested her, but we had three days of practice, and she toughed it out.”

WHAT TO WATCH Prairie Ridge at Huntley, 7 p.m. Friday The Raiders are going for their fourth straight FVC title, which would match C-G’s streak of four in a row from 2010 to 2013.

McHenry at Hampshire, 7 p.m. Friday The Whips can win the FVC title for the second time in three years. They shared the FVC Fox championship with Prairie Ridge in 2015.

Dundee-Crown at Jacobs, 7 p.m. Friday The Chargers haven’t won a conference title since 2005, but can do just that if they win their eighth straight game.

Crystal Lake South at Cary-Grove, 7 p.m. Friday A win on senior night would give the Trojans their first FVC championship in four seasons.

• THUNDER

The Blue Streaks (10-17, 7-5), who dropped from second to third place, never led in the second half. Diana Spokas led Woodstock with 17 points, seven rebounds and a block, Autumn Overly had seven points, Emma Brand added six, and Sophia Shinherr had five points and the team’s only 3.

Spokas, a 6-foot-1 center, dominated the first half with 13 points, but she picked up her fourth foul with 3:58 left in the third quarter. The Streaks scored only 12 points after that.

“We just got in foul trouble, so we weren’t able to play our game,” Woodstock coach Jen Nichols-Hogle said. “It really came down to that one aspect of the game.

I also felt like our shots weren’t hitting in the second half. Sometimes, we’re not patient enough on offense, so we don’t get the most optimal shot.

“Early in the game, we went on a run and we were doing really well, but as soon as a couple of our starters got in trouble, it really changed momentum of the game.”

Marengo finished 11 of 26 (42.3 percent) from the field, while Woodstock was 11 of 37 (29.7 percent) and 16 of 24 from the foul line.

Butler piggybacked on that thought, knowing her team has the pieces to have a successful postseason run.

“I think it gets us pumped up to know that we did pretty well against a tough conference,” said Butler, who scored six of her eight points before halftime.

“If we can play like that against these teams, we feel confident against those other teams. This

Lewis was able to empty his bench in the final seconds to give his five seniors (Nicks, Lawrence, Butler, Maddie Busch and Riley Kotyza) a final farewell on their home court.

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Loaded and ready for title defense Pitchers, catchers report next week in Arizona

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Kris Bryant is back.

Same for Anthony Rizzo and Jon Lester, too. Even 1908 is back in the picture.

That was the last time the Cubs won the World Series before Bryant and company ended the drought in November, beating the Cleveland Indians in a Game 7 classic. Now, 1908 is the last time the franchise repeated as champion – and the goal beginning next week when the Cubs’ pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

“I think we have the right group here that guys will just be able to realize what we did and how special it was, but just to realize how much better it would be to sustain that success and do it again the next year,” Bryant said.

“I think we’re hungrier than ever and we would love to be that team that goes back to back, and I think we all have the right mindset.”

No major league team has won consecutive championships since the New York Yankees from 1998 to 2000. But the Cubs return a loaded lineup, led by sluggers Bryant and Rizzo, and a solid pitching staff, with Lester fronting one of the majors’ best rotations. Kyle Schwarber and his compact lefty swing could put together a big year if he can stay healthy, and the refurbished bullpen includes Wade Davis and Koji Uehara after a pair of offseason moves.

Perhaps most important, no more questions about famous curses, and the Cubs begin this year with the experience of a championship run.

“I think you gain sort of an inner confidence,” president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said, “a default belief that you and your teammates know how to win, and through hard times, you just have a faith in getting back to what got you there, knowing that you’re good enough not only to compete, but to win, and to win the whole thing. That kind of confidence is hard to create.”

Here are a few more things to watch at Cubs camp in Mesa, Arizona:

Schwarber made a surprising return for the World Series after hurting his left knee last April. But he hasn’t played the field in a game since the injury.

Mired in a scoring slump in the first half of the season – Toews had four goals and 14 points in 26 games through Dec. 20 – Toews has regained his offensive touch, with seven goals and 19 points in the Hawks’ past 20 games, including four goals and 11 points in the past seven games. His game-winning goal in overtime against the Wild on Wednesday night

– shoveling a rebound past Darcy Kuemper – was an opportunity he had missed too often earlier in the season.

“I’m just trying to find that groove every night where I’m working hard, playing with confidence with the puck, playing the right way and not getting ahead of the play,” Toews said. “Sometimes when you’re not thinking offense, the offense just seems to come.”

percentage has dropped from 15.6 last season to 8.9 this season. But like his fellow slumping Selke Award-winning contemporaries – the Kings’ Anze Kopitar (six goals, 32 points, 6.0 shooting percentage in 48 games) and the Bruins’ Patrice Bergeron (13 goals, 29 points, 6.6 shooting percentage in 52 games), Toews’ all-around game keeps his value near the top – just not at peak levels.

“Even when he’s so-called not producing, he’s still doing a lot of different thing that are helping the team,” Kane said.

“Some guys are measured by production more than others, and he’s probably one of those guys. But I think overall he’s been playing pretty much the same.

“Sometimes it’s bad puck luck. Sometimes you’re overthinking things. But as of late, it seems like he’s got a little more confidence – he scored a great goal [against the Wild] and played a great game. We’ll probably need that down the stretch from him, especially if we want to advance as far as we can.”

BULLS

McDermott doesn’t think confidence an issue

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com OAKLAND – The minutes are judging Doug McDermott lately.

Not the fans or the media.

McDermott finally seems to be over letting that type of noise creep into his head.

It hasn’t been easy. Through his first two seasons, McDermott admittedly allowed the pressure of being a lottery pick in the 2014 NBA Draft affect him to some degree. Especially because the Bulls gave up two first-round draft picks to acquire the Creighton scorer from the Denver Nuggets.

No longer.

“Nah, not even thinking about that anymore,” McDermott said. “My attitude is just go out there and whatever happens, happens, especially with my shot.”

What’s happened lately with that shot, however, has not been great. Not only has McDermott still been struggling with inconsistencies from be-

yond the 3-point arc, but his defense remains an issue. The result of that has been second-round pick Paul Zipser jumping him in the rotation, and McDermott’s minutes dwindling.

“I mean, it is what it is,” McDermott said of Zipser’s rotation promotion.

“It’s a good opportunity for Paul. Obviously, [coming off the bench first] was something I was comfortable with [early in the year], but he’s played well.

“I have been getting Doug comfortable coming in McDermott that second quarter, and they’ve been running a lot of offense for me so that I can be aggressive in a short period of time. I’m fine with it, I guess. Obviously, you’d rather be the first guy off the bench, but that’s what the coaches see.”

And what the coaches are handing out.

McDermott was averaging 27.4 minutes a game in December. By January,

it was down to 24.1 minutes. Through the first four games in February? How about 15.3 minutes, including the win over Sacramento on Monday in which McDermott saw a season-low nine minutes.

Coach Fred Hoiberg said McDermott was lethal from outside in the Thursday afternoon practice, but now needs to consistently carry that over to games.

“Now it’s about going out there and doing it in the game,” Hoiberg said.

“You can make all you want in practice – 50 or 60 in a row – but when those lights turn on, that’s when you’ve got to go out and perform, put it in the hoop. See that thing go in, and get your confidence back. Sometimes it’s as simple as that.”

McDermott, however, feels like his confidence is just fine.

“That’s why I’m out there, to shoot,” McDermott said. “I think I’m shooting a little better from 3, getting more attempts up, rather than thinking I’m not a shooter. That’s important. It’s been a lot better the last few weeks, but I know

I still have to clean up some stuff.”

One person still confident in McDermott? Veteran Rajon Rondo, who has become the main ball-handler with that second unit.

“All [Doug] needs is a game like Memphis (when he scored 31 points),’’ Rondo said. “A couple games in a row to get going, and then the sky is the limit. Regardless of how many shots he’s missed, if he’s open, I’m hitting Doug.

“Young players need positive reinforcement, staying in his ear, continue to support him in the rough times, and eventually if he’s a professional NBA player, he’ll come through.”

That’s what the Bulls are waiting for.

Make that hoping for.

Note: Jimmy Butler (right heel contusion) was a full participant in practice, and was looking to return Friday against the Suns after missing the past three games. Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade (virus), Zipser (left ankle) and Isaiah Canaan (left big toe sprain) all were questionable and considered dayto-day.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba – It’s difficult to tell what’s in store for the Blackhawks in the final two months of the regular season – whether they’re primed for a run at overtaking the Wild for the Central Division title or destined for another March lull that will leave them scrambling for momentum heading into the playoffs. Even the trade deadline is an X-factor – they can add somebody or nobody.

But as they head into the final two games of a six-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night at MTS Centre, they’ve got one thing going for them that bodes particularly well for a team that thrives on intangibles – a percolating Jonathan Toews.

“Players like that, when they’re going, they bring lots of guys with them. So the whole dressing room is rising,” forward Marian Hossa said. “Jonny’s always playing well, but when he’s productive like right now, I think he’s [making] everybody around

And as coach Joel Quenneville noted, there are residual benefits of a player of Toews’ ability becoming a more dangerous threat.

“It puts your team in a great spot,” Quenneville said.

“It gives us more balance. …

(We) have a couple of lines where the opposition has to be worried about what line they want to check or be concerned about. I think it helps loosen up the coverage of the other lines, as well.”

While the Hawks (33-17-5) obviously are buoyed by Toews’ offensive uptick, they never sweated his scoring slump.

“I think it might just add a little bit more depth and little bit more confidence throughout the room,” teammate Patrick Kane said. “I don’t think any of us in here really look at him and think, ‘Oh, he’s not playing well. What’s going on with the team?’ Or things like that.”

Still, Toews’ scoring decline at 28 bears watching. Even with the recent binge, he’s on a pace for career-lows in goals and points, and his shooting

The university on Thursday released details of the deal agreed to last month and set to be finalized this week. Fleck will make $3.5 million in his first season, with $50,000 annual raises over the remainder of the contract, which is valued slightly above the average for Big Ten football coaches.

Belmont stays unbeaten in OVC The ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Evan Bradds put up 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds as Belmont kept its unbeaten streak in the Ohio Valley Conference intact with a 66-53 victory over Jacksonville State on Thursday night.

The victory keeps the Bruins unbeaten in conference (12-0) with four conference games remaining, three at home.

Belmont has a 3½-game lead in the East Division and won 14 straight games, including 10 straight on the road.

Belmont (18-4) got 17 points from Taylor Barnette. Huntley alum Amanze Egekeze scored three points.

Greg Tucker and Malcolm Drumwright scored 14 and 13 points, respectively, for Jacksonville State (15-12, 7-5).

No. 7 Wisconsin 70, Nebraska 69 (OT): At Lincoln, Nebraska, Nigel Hayes hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 18.4 seconds left in overtime, and Ethan Happ blocked Tai Webster’s shot on Nebraska’s last try.

Nebraska’s Michael Jacobson forced

overtime with his 3 just ahead of the buzzer, tying the score at 58.

Hayes scored 18 of his 20 points after halftime for the Badgers (21-3, 10-1 Big Ten), who won their eighth straight and 17th of their past 18.

Webster had 19 points and Glynn Watson Jr. added 15 for the Huskers (10-14, 4-8), who have lost eight of their past nine.

No. 16 Purdue 69, Indiana 64: At Bloomington, Indiana, Vince Edwards matched his career-high with 26 points, and Caleb Swanigan added 16 points and 14 rebounds for Purdue.

in a loss Tuesday night at Penn State, Maryland’s Melo Trimble eclipsed 1,500 points for his career. He joins Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes and Illinois’ Malcolm Hill as active Big Ten players with at least 1,500 points. ... Hill had 14 points in a win over Northwestern on Tuesday, moving him into sole possession of eighth place on Illinois’ career scoring list with 1,665, passing Mark Smith and Brandon Paul. ... Michigan’s 86-57 victory over Michigan State on Tuesday night equaled its most-lopsided victory over the Spartans since 1948.

Player to watch: Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan is the Big Ten leader in scoring (20.0 points) and rebounding (13.0 rebounds) in conference play and is on pace to become the first player to lead the league in both categories in Big Ten play since Ohio State’s Evan Turner in 2009-10.

On the women’s side: Another week, another milestone for No. 3 Maryland (23-1, 11-0), which is off to the best start in the program’s 46-year history. The next best chance for a conference foe to pick off the Terrapins is Sunday, when Maryland visits Michigan State (16-7, 6-4). ... Rutgers, which is 0-11 on the road, will try to break through for a win Sunday at Minnesota.

A look at things to watch this week in the Big Ten: Game of the weekend: Northwestern at No. 7 Wisconsin. The Wildcats (18-5, 7-3) have lost two straight and been bumped out of The Associated Press’ Top 25 after a one-week stay.

Beating the Big Ten-leading Badgers (21-3, 10-1) at the Kohl Center would snap coach Chris Collins’ team out of its funk and strengthen its chances of securing the school’s first NCAA tournament bid. Wisconsin had a two-game lead in the loss column at midweek over second-place Maryland and Purdue. But the Badgers have been struggling of late from 3-point range. The Wildcats are one of the best teams in the league in 3-point defense, holding foes to 31 percent from behind the arc.

Looking ahead: Indiana has a home game against Michigan on Sunday. The Hoosiers face four of their last five regular-season games on the road, where coach Tom Crean’s team was only 1-5 entering weekend play. Indiana has been without leading scorer James Blackmon Jr. (lower left leg), while key player OG Anunoby (right knee) is out for the year.

Crean does like the way his team got into passing lanes and played defense to stay close to Wisconsin in a 65-50 loss last week.

Inside the numbers: With 11 points

MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

A wicked day of wind, rain at Pebble Beach The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Jordan Spieth barely could stand up and worried his hat would fly off in the middle of his swing.

From 176 yards downhill to the par3 11th green at Monterey Peninsula, he ripped a 4-iron and hoped for the best.

When he saw it land about 6 feet from the flag, he declared to anyone within earshot, “That’s the best shot I’ve ever hit.”

Jordan Spieth This was a snapshot of the nasty side of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday, with severe conditions that once led to the term “Crosby weather” from the days when Bing Crosby was the host and Pebble could be a blend of beauty and beast.

The PGA Tour moved up tee times by an hour to try to beat the storms, but it wasn’t enough. Already saturated, the greens on all three courses began holding enough water that play had to be suspended.

Seung-Yul Noh, Joel Dahmen and Rick Lamb each shot a 4-under-par 68

at Spyglass Hill to share the lead, and more importantly, they were among the 75 players who finished. The rest had to return Friday morning – with lingering rain in the forecast – to finish the round before moving on to another course.

Spyglass has the most shelter from the wind because of the inland holes cut through a forest.

Mark Hubbard had a 3-under 69 at Pebble Beach, which is exposed along the coast.

Spieth, although he missed four putts inside 6 feet on the bumpy greens, was at 3-under par with two holes to play on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula.

Phil Mickelson had seven birdies through 17 holes at Monterey Peninsula. He also had two double bogeys and was 1 under with one hole to play.

Maybank Championship: At Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Scotland’s Marc Warren shot a 9-under 63 to take a twostroke lead after the first round.

Warren had four birdies and an eagle on his first nine holes at Saujana Golf and Country Club. The three-time European Tour winner added birdies on Nos. 12, 14 and 17.

Seventeen-year-old Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand opened with a 65, and Masters champion Danny Willett, American Peter Uihlein and local favorite Arie Irawan topped the group at 66.
