Good morning, McHenry County ...

No goodbyes, even in a ‘goodbye’ column I’m not an overly sentimental or emotional person. My wife would begrudgingly vouch for that.

So I was initially a bit surprised Friday morning when I got choked up at my last morning meeting with fellow editors of the Northwest Herald. Sitting around a table one last time to talk about what stories we had planned for the weekend, I wanted to let them know how much the past 13 years had meant to me; how I appreciated their hard work and dedication to a job that can be difficult but that is important to the community and the readers we serve; how I appreciated their friendship and support during the good times and the tougher ones.

But my words failed me, and I wasn’t able to say everything I wanted to. I realize now I shouldn’t have been surprised about that. The Northwest Herald community, which includes colleagues, sources and, of course, our readers, had become my second family.

Yes, after 13 years as an editor with the Northwest Herald, I have decided to pursue an exciting new opportunity. Friday was my last day, and it was a bittersweet one.

I wasn’t planning on writing what we in the newspaper industry call a “goodbye” column.

But after Friday morning’s meeting, something told me I needed to. So my final column as a Northwest Herald editor is probably as much for me as it is you.

Through my work here, I’ve met more great people than I ever could have hoped for. Those people especially include our readers. I – we – wouldn’t be able to do what we do for a living

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb without you.

I want to thank you for caring enough about the community in which you live that you realize you need to stay informed.

I want to thank you for challenging us to be the best we can be, and for holding us accountable when we’ve fallen short.

I want to thank you for sticking with us through so many changes.

And I want to thank you for welcoming us into your homes each day.

Although I called this a “goodbye” column, it’s really not goodbye. My family and I live in Crystal Lake and are active in the community.

We will continue to be so, and I expect to see and hear from many of you well into the future.

What makes today easier is knowing that the Northwest Herald remains in good hands. We (I think I’ll probably always refer to Northwest Herald as “we”) have a tremendous, hardworking staff, dedicated to delivering the best print newspaper and website that they – we – can, every day.

I know you’ll continue to challenge them to be the best they can be, and they’d want it no other way.

McHenry High School West Campus senior Anna Zickus unloads donations Thursday for the Food for Thought program. In McHenry High School District 156, about 28 percent of students qualify for a free lunch which requires the family to be at or below the poverty line. District 156 implemented the program to help with those students who are in need.

‘HEALTHY STUDENTS ARE BETTER LEARNERS’

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Teachers can recognize when a student is struggling with math. They also can recognize when a student might be struggling with food insecurities.

“Food is one of the basic needs. We know, statistically speaking, if a student does not get proper nourishment then they are more likely to be absent from school, less likely to succeed in class, and have a higher number of dis-

cipline issues,” said Aubrey Francis, a McHenry High School West Campus teacher. “Healthy students are better learners.”

Last year, Francis and a few teachers found out that a handful of their students did not have guaranteed meals at home, meaning their only meals were breakfast and lunch through free and reduced lunch programs at school. In McHenry Community High School District 156, about 28 percent of students qualify for a free lunch.

Moved to action, Francis and a few

McHenry District 156’s program works to guarantee students get meals at home

of her colleagues began pushing for a way to discreetly supply additional food to students in need. After months of planning and help from teachers, students and community partners, Food for Thought launched districtwide in January at the start of the second semester.

The program offers students a weekend supply of nutritious, nonperishable food for children, commonly for low-income families, to replace the school meals those children miss during their weekend or extended

breaks from school. So far the program is serving 60 students, Francis said.

“Not only has the school pulled together, the community has really pulled together,” Francis said. “The amount of commitment and awareness has really been astounding.”

The district has partnered with several area businesses and restaurants including Meijer, Jewel, Buffalo Wild Wings, Kiera Confections and Chipotle, among others.

Electronic voting rules will go to full McHenry County Board

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County Board committee’s efforts to adjust proposed rule changes to allow for electronic voting won’t be moving forward.

After almost 90 minutes of delving into minutiae and what-if scenarios, the Internal Support and Facilities Committee voted Friday, 5-0, to recommend approving the changes, with some modifications of its own. The language was drawn up

by County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and approved by a five-member ad-hoc committee he convened earlier this month.

But Franks said the committee has no jurisdiction over the County Board rules, and knows it. The version that will appear before the county at next Thursday’s meeting of the Committee of the Whole will be the version his committee originally recommended – one of the chairman’s rights under the rules is to set the agenda.

Franks convened the ad-hoc committee because no standing committee under County Board rules has the explicit power to amend them, although that task in past years has historically gone to what is now the Internal Services committee.

What’s more, Franks said, County Board rules require a 14-day review period for recommended changes, and the rule changes as first proposed are scheduled for a Feb. 21 vote.

“What they did was against board rules, it was clearly violative, and they did it anyway,” Franks said.

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

“What they did was against board rules, it was clearly violative, and they did it anyway.”

Board’s voting meetings.

But the system was installed without going through the County Board – members did not warm up to it when it was first used at the Jan. 17 board meeting.

Besides pointing out that board rules only cover voice vote, members questioned

why they were not brought into the purchase process, and alleged that they did not get adequate training.

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

4 deny torturing mentally ill Crystal Lake teen in Chicago Defendants remain held without bond in Cook County

By JEFF ARNOLD

editorial@nwherald.com CHICAGO – The four defendants charged with torturing a Crystal Lake teen who is mentally ill and then broadcasting the incident on Facebook Live all entered pleas of not guilty Friday morning.

The four – Jordan Hill, 18; Tesfaye Cooper, 18; and sisters Brittany Covington, 18, and Tanishia Covington, 24 – remain in custody and are being held without bond. All four told Cook County Judge William H. Hooks on Friday that neither they nor their families can afford private attorneys and wish to continue to be represented by the Cook County Public Defender’s Office.

Attorneys from the public defender’s office entered the not guilty pleas for their clients.

The four defendants now have been indicted on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated unlawful restraint and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, as well as a pair of hate crimes – one because of the victim’s mental illness and one because he is

white.

Cooper and Brittany Covington also face residential burglary charges, while Hill also faces charges of robbery and possession of a stoJordan Hill len motor vehicle.

The four are scheduled to return to court March 1.

Last month, Cook County Public Defender Amy Campanelli said that once the four were Tesfaye arraigned, which they Cooper were Friday morning, she would file a motion to have their bond reconsidered.

All four have been held without bond since being charged in early January. Campanelli, Brittany who was not in court Covington Friday morning, said last month it is her belief that the four defendants are being held without bond because “they have been prejudged.”

Initially, a Cook County judge ordered Tanishia them held without bond Covington because she considered the defendants “a danger to yourself and to society.”

Cooper, Hill and the Covington sisters are alleged to have tortured the victim for several hours. The four defendants allegedly slapped, cut, beat and mocked the victim, prosecutors have said. Footage from the video shows the assailants cutting the gagged victim’s scalp with a knife, punching him and forcing him to drink from a toilet.

The 30-minute Facebook Live video also included footage of one of the male assailants pulling a cord around the victim’s neck and holding him up while the victim is groaning in pain.

A male voice is heard on the video saying, “I don’t give a f*** if he’s schizophrenic.”

Hill, who was a classmate of the victim at an alternative high school in Streamwood, allegedly called the victim’s mother and demanded $300 for her son’s safe return. Hill, according to prosecutors, became enraged when the victim’s mother continually contacted him via his Facebook page and demanded that her son return home.

The victim is said to suffer from both schizophrenia and attention deficit disorder.

CARPENTERSVILLE

Hampshire man faces 11 life sentences for sexually assaulting 3 young children NORTHWEST HERALD HAMPSHIRE – A Hampshire man faces 11 life sentences for repeatedly sexually assaulting three children.

Robert E. Craig, 48, of the 600 block of Hampshire Drive, Hampshire, and formerly of Carpentersville, was convicted Thursday of 11 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault and six counts of criminal sexual abuse, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors said Craig sexually assaulted the three victims, who are siblings and were all younger than 13 years old, between 1999 and 2010. The

assaults took place in Carpentersville, according to the release.

Craig’s brother, Richard E. Craig, 56, of Carpentersville sexually assaulted the same children during the same Robert E. time period, according Craig to the release, and was sentenced to 20 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in 2006.

In 2014, a victim told a school counselor that she had been assaulted by Robert Craig in addition to Richard Craig, and the counselor reported it to

the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services, according to the release.

“The horrific facts about the Craig brothers’ actions came to light because someone made a report to DCFS on behalf of these three victims,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in a statement. “I cannot stress enough the importance of making a report when someone suspects such abuse.”

Robert Craig remains in the Kane County Jail, and his next court appearance is set for March 9 for motions and a sentencing date, according to the release. He faces 11 consecutive mandatory natural life sentences.

ABOVE: McHenry High School West Food for Thought program faculty adviser Aubrey Francis explains Thursday which items need to be included in packages of food for 46 students in need. BELOW: Working in the basement of the McHenry High School District’s offices, students Kimberly Barranco (from left), Myranda Tzimpas and Anna Zicus prepare food packages Thursday for Food for Thought. The program offers students a weekend supply of nutritious, nonperishable food for children to replace the school meals that some low-income children miss during their weekend or extended breaks from school.

• FOOD FOR THOUGHT Continued from page A3

Students who receive free and reduced lunch also qualify for the Food for Thought program. A letter is sent home to those families making them aware of the program and inquiring about their child’s interest in participating. Any student who participates remains anonymous and can opt in or out anytime.

Ashley Diedrich, a teacher at McHenry High School West Campus who also is a part of Food for Thought, said she became involved to help ensure her students had all of their basic needs met.

“One of the most important things is that students are being given food so they can achieve their goals at the high school level and beyond,” Diedrich said.

Several McHenry High

School students have become involved in the program by helping pack the food bags and gathering the donated collections, and have been excited to help even if they don’t know who they are helping.

The program has far exceeded expectations since its implementation in January, a testament to the power of grassroots efforts, Francis said.

District 156 Superintendent Ryan McTague said now that the district has identified a need, it needs to work to ensure the program is sustainable so it can continue providing for students.

“This isn’t just a one-year thing, we need to continue it down the road,” he said.

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

“Food is one of the basic needs.

We know, statistically speaking, if a student does not get proper nourishment then they are more likely to be absent from school, less likely to succeed in class, and have a higher number of discipline issues.

Healthy students are better learners.”

Detroit Tigers, Red Wings owner, Little Caesars Pizza founder dies at age 87

By COREY WILLIAMS The Associated Press

DETROIT – Mike Ilitch, founder of the Little Caesars Pizza empire and owner of the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Tigers, died Friday, according to his family. He was 87.

Ilitch was praised for keeping his professional hockey and baseball teams in Detroit as other urban sports franchises relocated to new suburban stadiums. His family released a statement saying Ilitch was a visionary who set the tone for his company and his family.

“He made such a positive impact in the world of sports, in business and in the community, and we will remember him for his unwavering commit- Mike Ilitch ment to his employees, his passion for Detroit, his generosity to others and his devotion to his family and friends,” his son Christopher Ilitch said in the statement Friday night.

Family spokesman Doug Kuiper said Ilitch died at a hospital, but no other details were provided.

Ilitch and his wife, Marian, founded Little Caesars in suburban Detroit in 1959, and eventually grew the business into the world’s largest carry-out pizza chain with several spinoff companies. Under his ownership and open checkbook, the Red Wings soared back to stability and won four Stanley Cup championships, and the Tigers – who’d scouted a young Ilitch in the 1940s – made it to the World Series.

He was as much a fan of the often-struggling Detroit as he was of sports. When approached in 2009 by organizers of the Motor City Bowl in Detroit, Ilitch agreed to sponsor the annual college football bowl game despite a poor local economy. The game was renamed the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.

“It’s a sporting event, and we need sporting events,” Ilitch said at the time. “It picks our community up to no end, with all the great colleges we have in this state and the professional teams that we have. Thank God for ’em, especially at times that are rough right now.”

The son of Macedonian immigrants, Ilitch was born July 20, 1929.

He played baseball at Detroit’s Cooley High School and was signed by his hometown Tigers after his four-year

stint in the U.S. Marines, spending three years in the team’s farm system before a knee injury ended his playing career.

But he found his niche in business. His family’s companies had combined revenues of $2.4 billion in 2011.

It started with that first Little Caesars restaurant in Garden City, a working-class suburb west of Detroit.

A food service distribution company soon followed to supply ingredients and other products for the growing number of restaurants. Blue Line Foodservice grew into one of the largest program account food service distribution companies in the U.S. Ilitch Holdings Inc. was established in 1999 to manage the family’s interests in food, sports and entertainment, and the company remained family focused. His son, Christopher, was president and CEO, while his wife, Marian, was vice chairwoman as well as sole owner of MotorCity Casino, one of Detroit’s three casinos.

Ilitch broke into sports ownership in 1982, when he paid a reported $8 million for the struggling Red Wings. Once a National Hockey League powerhouse, the team had bottomed out to mediocrity, but it began winning again under Ilitch. The Red Wings took home the Stanley Cup in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008.

Ilitch was inducted into the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003, and into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and Michigan Sports Hall of Fame a year later.

“Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch are incredibly passionate about Detroit and their teams,” Red Wings general manager Ken Holland told The Associated Press in a 2010 interview.

As part of his long-term plan to build a Detroit-based business empire, Ilitch also bought Olympia Entertainment, which manages several restaurants, sports and entertainment venues, in 1982.

Husband and wife bought the downtown Fox Theatre five years later and started a massive, $12 million restoration. It reopened a year later and became a lucrative venue for musicals, plays and other productions.

The Little Caesars world headquarters also was moved downtown.

Then, in 1992, the man who once dreamed of playing for the Detroit Tigers bought the team for $85 million.

He moved it in 2000 from the storied but fading Tiger Stadium to Comerica Park, across from the Fox Theatre.

Portland’s beloved Asian elephant Packy dies at 54

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

By STEVEN DUBOIS The Associated Press

AP photo

This undated photo provided by the Oregon Zoo shows Packy, the Asian elephant at the Oregon Zoo in Portland. Packy, who drew international attention when he was born, died Thursday at the Oregon Zoo. He was 54.

“If Packy really is not suffering, the zoo owes him hospice, not death,” said the group’s president, Marilyn Kroplick. “Research shows that elephants are self-aware and conscious animals. Oregon Zoo brought Packy into the world and profited from him; now they need to provide the care he needs.”

From the time of Packy’s birth to that of his daughter Shine’s birth in 1982, Portland was the birthplace for 21 of the 27 Asian elephants born in North America.

“Packy’s birth started it all,” said Bob Lee, the zoo’s elephant curator. “The focus on elephant welfare, the knowledge about elephants. If you think about the time when he was born, it’s mind-boggling – Kennedy was president, the Beatles hadn’t made any records yet, cigarettes didn’t have warnings from the surgeon general.

“We’ve learned so much about elephants since then, and it never could have happened without Packy.”

PORTLAND, Ore. – Packy, the Asian elephant who drew international attention when he was born, including an 11-page spread in Life magazine, died Thursday at the Oregon Zoo. He was 54.

Packy was 3 feet tall and weighed 226 pounds when he entered the world April 14, 1962, making headlines as the first elephant born in the Western Hemisphere in 44 years. Eager to see the baby elephant, more than 1 million people visited the zoo in Portland that year, the first time it ever hit that mark.

At the time of his death, Packy – who got his name from a radio contest – was the oldest male of his species in North America.

The elephant had been suffering from a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis, and was euthanized after veterinarians failed to come up with an alternative treatment.

“We’d run out of options for treating him,” Dr. Tim Storms, the zoo’s lead veterinarian, said in a statement. “The remaining treatments involved side effects that would have been very hard on Packy with no guarantee of success, plus a risk of creating further resistance.

“None of us felt it would be right to do that. But without treatment, his TB would have continued to get worse.”

Word that Packy was going to be put down leaked to animal-rights advocates. The group In Defense of Elephants issued a statement Tuesday urging people to plea for his life.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Physicist Arthur Rosenfeld, who spearheaded breakthroughs in energy efficiency for lighting, refrigerators, TVs and other electronics while working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has died. He was 90.

Rosenfeld died Jan. 27 at his home in Berkeley, said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab spokeswoman Julie Chao.

Rosenfeld was known to his colleagues as California’s “godfather” of energy efficiency, a field he is credited with creating.

A native of Alabama, he was known for his detailed calculations, but also for his talent in translating Arthur the results into terms that could be Rosenfeld easily understood.

A particle physicist, he moved to Berkeley in the 1950s to work in the particle physics group of Luis Alvarez, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1968.

A turning point in his career came in 1973 when the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries declared an oil embargo. Knowing he would have to wait in a long line the next day to buy gas, he decided to calculate how much energy could be saved by turning off unused lights.

“After 20 minutes of uncovering light switches (and saving 100 gallons for the weekend), I decided that UC Berkeley and its Radiation Laboratory should do something about conservation,” he wrote in a 1999 autobiography of his career, “The Art of Energy Efficiency.”

He received numerous awards and honors, including the National Medal of Technology and Innovation in 2011 – the nation’s highest honor for technological achievement – for the development of energy-efficient building technologies.

Gov. Jerry Brown said that during his first term as governor in 1975, Rosenfeld told him that simply by requiring more efficient refrigerators, California could save as much energy as would be produced by the then-proposed Sundesert Nuclear Power plant.

“We adopted Art’s refrigerator standards and many others, did not build the power plant and moved the country to greater energy efficiency,” Brown said in a statement after Rosenfeld’s death was announced.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Partnerships should be a priority. Nurturing a connection with supportive individuals or weeding out the people who drag you down will make a difference to your confidence and the way you move forward. Make a commitment to yourself as well as to those you love, and forge ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Physical activity will make you feel good, and the compliments you receive will boost your ego. Your confidence will soar, and your output will be unmatched.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do what you can, but don’t allow anyone to coerce you into

taking part in something that is futile. Weigh the pros and cons, and cut your losses before they become too great.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Greater involvement with institutions or people who can offer information, knowledge and support will lead to partnership opportunities. Collaboration is encouraged. Improving your skills or physical strength is favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Live and learn. Sign up for a lecture or retreat that will open your mind to a host of new ideas or ways to move forward. Take pride in what you do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone is likely to mislead you, try to cover up his or her feelings or obscure what’s really happening. Dig deep and

get the facts before making a commitment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Delve into learning about different cultures or get involved in a group that offers greater self-awareness. Taking time out to enjoy life or to be with someone you love is favored.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let money matters confuse you. When in doubt, put your credit cards in a safe place and choose not to spend. A physical challenge will be invigorating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Disillusionment will set in if you aren’t willing to recognize that trouble is brewing at home or with someone you are close to. Be prepared to deter problems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Opportunity will knock, so don’t be lazy or uninterested. Step up and get

in the game. Whether dealing with personal or business matters, you stand to gain if you get involved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Oversee any task you are responsible for at home or work. Giving someone else authority to make decisions for you will result in an emotional encounter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t get involved in joint ventures or let anyone sway you in a direction that is sketchy or risky. Trust in your judgment, not in someone else’s rhetoric.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t get pushy, or someone will push back. Stick your money in a safe place and say no to joint ventures.

Time is on your side, and keeping the peace is encouraged.

Pardoned man felt ‘abandoned’ by Pence The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – A Chicago man who spent more than eight years in prison for a wrongful conviction said Friday he’s angry that his name wasn’t cleared by Vice President Mike Pence during his time as Indiana governor.

Keith Cooper was surrounded by his wife, daughter, stepchildren, mother and other supporters as he told reporters that he was grateful to new Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, who granted his pardon request Thursday.

Cooper, now 49, was sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted for a 1996 robbery in Elkhart, Indiana, during which a teenager was shot. He was released in 2006 after a co-defendant’s conviction was overturned but the felony armed robbery conviction had remained on his record.

“I feel like a thousand pounds of weight just lifted off my chest,” Cooper said.

His pardon request, which the Indiana Parole Board

News from across the state Group urges dramatic steps, quick action on budget

CHICAGO – A new report said Illinois’ financial situation is so bad that the state would have to slash spending by more than 26 percent to balance next year’s budget through cuts alone.

The nonprofit Civic Federation released its proposed five-year plan for stabilizing Illinois’ finances on Friday.

The group said lawmakers’ delay in passing a balanced state budget means fixing the problem will take longer and require more dramatic measures.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic-majority Legislature have gone almost two years without approving a budget, causing Illinois to rack up $11 billion in overdue bills.

The group recommends Illinois limit spending growth and increase the individual income tax rate from 3.75 to 5.25 percent.

Springfield officials weigh changing panhandling rules

SPRINGFIELD – A ban on panhandling in downtown Springfield that was ruled unconstitutional could soon be off the city’s rulebooks.

An ordinance proposed this week would repeal panhandling regulations. Among them is a ban on verbal requests for an immediate donation, which the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unconstitutional for infringing on First Amendment rights in 2015, The State Journal-Register reported.

The regulations would be replaced by similar ones for people asking for donations or money, or for trying to sell merchandise in public locations. Instead of panhandling rules, they’d be rules on “aggressive sales and solicitation tactics.”

tion overturned before a pardon would be considered.

Cooper said he was thankful Holcomb “had the heart to do what Pence couldn’t do.”

“He left me, he abandoned me,” Cooper said of Pence. “But thanks to Eric Holcomb, I’m a free man now. I’m finally free.

I got my name back. I’m Keith Cooper. Not the Keith Cooper with the DOC number 975234. I know that number better than my own (Social) Security.”

Pence spokesman Marc Lotter didn’t talk about Cooper specifically when commenting to The Associated Press on the phone Friday. Lotter said Pence “is thrilled and supports Indiana’s continued growth under Gov. Eric Holcomb.”

Holcomb, who was Pence’s lieutenant governor, took office in early January when Pence’s four-year term ended.

Cooper’s attorney, Elliot Slosar, said Pence was callous in his handling of the matter.

“Gov. Pence deliberately ignored Keith Cooper’s pardon petition because he knew that it would not be politically

Bond set for man sentenced to life in prison 22 years ago

ROCKFORD – Relatives planned to post bond for a Rockford man sentenced to life for a murder conviction more than two decades ago but who a state appellate court has ruled is entitled to a new trial.

The Rockford Register Star reported that a Winnebago County judge on Friday set bond at $50,000 for 40-year-old John Horton Jr. Horton’s attorneys and family said they would post the $5,000 needed to bail him out of jail on Friday afternoon.

Horton was sentenced to life in prison without parole after he was convicted for the 1993 fatal shooting of a man during a robbery at a McDonald’s. However the Illinois Appellate Court in October ruled

palatable for the presidential campaign,” Slosar said.

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned the conviction of Cooper’s co-defendant 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 decided he wanted to be released so he could reunite with his wife and children, who were homeless at times during his incarceration.

Slosar said he expects to file a claim against Elkhart police soon seeking compensation over Cooper’s arrest, but declined to give details.

Cooper’s family described him as a caring man who dotes on his grandchildren and rises at 3:30 a.m. for his job as a factory forklift operator.

Cooper said his time behind bars was “a hard journey” for his family, noting that his son who’s now 21 was just a 1-yearold when he was arrested.

“I walked to the store and never came back with their groceries,” Cooper said.

Horton should have a new trial.

The appellate court cited “outrageous errors and missteps” in the case.

SIU trustees approve Carbondale tuition hike

CARBONDALE – The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees have approved a 3.9 percent increase undergraduate tuition for the Carbondale campus and eliminated out-of-state fees.

WSIL-TV reported the action Thursday increases annual tuition by $351 a year to $9,450.

University President Randy Dunn said the tuition increase is the best solution to keep up with the operating costs and the lack of state funding. He said it will help avoid cost-cutting while trying to grow the university.

By eliminating out-of-state fees, the trustees hope to attract more students from outside Illinois.

SIU spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith has said the tuition increase is projected to raise $2.9 million in new revenue.

Travel ban opponents seek another court win

By JESSICA GRESKO The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Opponents of President Donald Trump’s travel ban sought Friday to rack up another legal victory against the measure, believing they have the administration on the defensive after a federal appeals court refused to reinstate the order.

As government attorneys debated their next move, they faced unsympathetic judges on both coasts.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided Thursday with the states of Washington and Minnesota in refusing to reinstate the ban, opening the possibility that the case could advance to the U.S. Supreme Court. On Friday, a federal judge in Virginia also seemed inclined to rule against the administration in a different challenge.

For his part, Trump said Friday that he is considering signing a “brand-new order” while the ban is held up in court.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One as he flew to Florida for the weekend, the president said he expected his administration to win the legal battle over his original directive. But he said the White House also was weighing other alternatives, including making changes to the order, which suspended the nation’s refugee program and barred all entries from seven Muslim-majority countries.

In Virginia, a lawyer for the state asked a judge to impose a preliminary injunction barring the government from enforcing a portion of Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order that bars anyone from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the U.S. for 90 days.

A preliminary injunction would be long-lasting, continuing through the trial in a case. Still, because of the 9th

President Donald Trump speaks Friday during a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

Circuit’s decision refusing to reinstate the order, the practical effect of any decision in Virginia may be muted for now.

Judge Leonie Brinkema, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in 1993, did not seem satisfied with answers about the executive order from an administration lawyer.

Brinkema said that the order “clearly has all kinds of weaknesses,” and she asked the government to explain the justification for the ban, saying courts have been “begging” for that explanation. The president can legally suspend the entry of noncitizens into the country when he “finds” that their entry “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

“Finds,” she said, doesn’t mean just “think.”

Virginia’s Solicitor General Stuart Raphael said the government has been unable to answer the charge that the ban was targeted at Muslims.

Brinkema, who did not say when she will rule, said that there was strong evidence that the order is harmful to national security. She quoted from a joint declaration filed in the case by former national security, foreign policy and

intelligence officials, including former secretaries of state Madeline Albright and John Kerry, former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

“In our professional opinion, this Order cannot be justified on national security or foreign policy grounds. It does not perform its declared task of ‘protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States,” the declaration states.

The group continued that Trump’s executive order “could do long-term damage to our national security and foreign policy interests.”

A lawyer for the administration, Erez Reuveni, countered that the group is not in the current administration.

But he did not give any additional justification for the order. Instead, Reuveni argued that Virginia does not have the right to challenge the ban and that Brinkema does not have the power to review the president’s executive order.

As for how the government will move forward in the 9th Circuit case, Reuveni said no decisions had been made.

“We may appeal. We may not,” Reuveni said. “All options are being considered.”

Voters flood town halls of GOP lawmakers The ASSOCIATED PRESS GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The voter identified himself as a cancer survivor, and he had something to say to Republican Rep. Justin Amash: “I am scared to death that I will not have health insurance in the future.”

The comment earned 61-year-old retiree Paul Bonis a standing ovation from the crowd packed into a school auditorium in Amash’s Michigan district Thursday night. And the congressman was booed for his response: That the Affordable Care Act has “hurt a lot of people,” and he supports his party’s plans to repeal and replace it, even though the GOP still hasn’t united around an alternative.

It’s a scene that’s played out around the country over the past several weeks as Republicans and President Donald Trump have assumed control of Washington and begun moving forward on their long-held promise to undo former President Barack Obama’s health care law. In an echo of the raucous complaints that confronted Democrats back in 2009 as they worked to pass “Obamacare” in the first place, Republicans who want to repeal it now are facing angry push-

Chaffetz struggled to be heard as he faced a litany of sharp questions and screams from a crowd of people who grilled him on everything from Obamacare to Chaffetz’s desire to overturn a new national monument in southern Utah.

“Come on, we’re better than this,” Chaffetz protested over the hubbub at one point, practically pleading with the deafening crowd to let him speak.

In Tennessee, GOP Rep. Diane Black faced questions from impassioned and well-informed constituents defending the Affordable Care Act, including one man who told her that he and others with health conditions might die without insurance. “And you want to take away this coverage, and have nothing to replace it with,” the man said.

Black argued that the Affordable Care Act has been ineffective because although 20 million people gave gained coverage under the law, millions more have chosen to pay a fine and remain uninsured.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump, fresh off patching up ties with China, reassured Japan’s leader Friday that the U.S. will defend its close ally. Together, the pronouncements illustrated a shift toward a more mainstream Trump stance on U.S. policy toward Asia.

Welcoming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the White House with a hug, Trump said he wants to bring the postWorld War II alliance with Japan “even closer.” While such calls are ritual after these types of meetings, from Trump they’re sure to calm anxieties that he has stoked by demanding that America’s partners pay more for their own defense.

Abe, a nationalist adept at forging relationships with self-styled strongmen overseas, was the only world leader to meet the Republican before his inauguration. He is now the second to do so since Trump took office. Flattering the billionaire businessman, Abe said he would welcome the U.S. becoming “even greater.”

He also invited Trump to visit Japan this year. Trump accepted, according to a joint statement.

ping. That statement will similarly ease anxieties in East Asia after Beijing was angered and other capitals were rattled by earlier suggestions that he might use Taiwan as leverage in trade, security and other negotiations.

Although Japan is a historic rival of China, Trump said that his long and “warm” conversation with Xi was good for Tokyo, too.

“I believe that will all work out very well for everybody, China, Japan, the United States and everybody in the region,” Trump said at a joint news conference with Abe. Stepping carefully into Japan’s long-standing territorial dispute with China over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, Trump said the U.S. is committed to the security of Japan and all areas under its administrative control. The implication was that the U.S.-Japan defense treaty covers the disputed islands, which Japan which calls the Senkaku, but China calls the Diaoyu.

Beijing opposes such statements, but Trump’s wording allowed for some diplomatic wiggle room. The joint statement released later was more explicit, however, in spelling out the U.S. commitment.

McHenry theater plans

Thumbs up: To the McHenry City Council and others involved in plans to renovate and reopen the McHenry downtown theater, which has been closed since 2014. The City Council earlier this week unanimously approved plans to grant a conditional use permit for an expanded site plan to allow a theater, a restaurant serving alcohol, outdoor seating, outdoor entertainment and any other variances needed to develop the property at Walsh Park. The project was proposed by Boone Creek Crossing LLC. As part of the project, the west facade of the existing building will be renovated. “This is one of the most exciting projects that’s coming along in a very long time,” Mayor Susan Low said. We couldn’t agree more.

Thumbs up: To Jacob Matthaei of Lakewood and his family for collecting 1 million pop tabs from aluminum cans in just seven months for Ronald McDonald House, which recycles them and puts the funds toward families in need. Ronald McDonald House provides care for families such as the Matthaeis, whose children have complex medical needs. Jacob was diagnosed with leukemia in November 2015, when he was three years old, and receives treatment every month at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.

Last year, such aluminum tabs raised more than $40,000 to provide lodging and food for families during treatments. “We did this not just because Jacob has cancer, but because it’ll help all kids who have cancer,” said Jacob’s mom, Jennifer.

We wish them luck on reaching their next goal: 2 million aluminum tabs.

Thumbs up: To the students in Fox River Grove School District 3 for starting a kindness club and hosting The Great Kindness Challenge for the first time in the district. Taking a cue from the Second Step curriculum, a social and emotional learning curriculum, these kids are working to make positive changes in their environment.

Thumbs up: To Harvard School District 50 for hosting an event honoring local veterans this week at Harvard High School and for hosting similar events throughout the year, including around Veterans Day. Many McHenry County schools go out of their way to honor those in our community who’ve made tremendous sacrifices for this nation. These school traditions have enormous educational merit in teaching students the values of those who have served to preserve our freedoms, and that should be honored and respected.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

A carbon tax GOP could support Some Republicans have grown tired of fighting the rest of the world on climate change.

As economists, religious and military leaders, ordinary Americans and even oil companies have joined the push to lower greenhouse-gas emissions, Republicans have, for the most part, resisted.

But now, a group of conservative economists and former Republican officials are recommending their party reverse course – dramatically. The U.S., they say, should enact a nationwide tax on carbon emissions. It’s a smart idea that deserves support from President Donald Trump and congressional leaders.

The rogue group, which includes James Baker, George Shultz and Henry Paulson, proposes a tax on carbon that would start at about $40 a ton and increase regularly. The idea is to ensure that the cost of climate damage is factored into all activities that emit carbon, whether it’s burning

coal or burning gasoline. That way, the market would encourage carbon producers to find the most efficient ways to cut back. And it would make clean energy, from wind and solar to nuclear, more attractive financially.

This could lead to bigger emissions cuts than were expected from former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan. And a carbon tax has the built-in flexibility to push emissions lower and lower over time.

Countries that already have carbon taxes – or cap and trade systems that effectively set a price on emissions – have demonstrated that they do cut greenhouse gases. And when the taxes are well-designed, they don’t hurt the economy. On the contrary, if the revenue is used to cut other taxes, a carbon tax can boost GDP. The payroll tax is an especially good one to offset, because its burden falls disproportionately on the working poor.

The Republicans now arguing for a carbon tax suggest that the money simply be returned to Americans via tax-free quarterly dividends, which they say would add up to about $2,000 a year for a family of four. That’s another plausible way to keep the tax revenue-neutral and thus adhere to conservative principles of limited government.

All this said, energy-intensive businesses could be expected to take a hit. In enacting any carbon tax, Congress would need to consider job losses and find ways to help the people most affected.

Alas, Trump and conservatives in Congress have already rejected the notion of a carbon tax. Perhaps this collection of eminences can open the Republican mind. As they point out, even if you don’t believe that humans are fully to blame for climate change, a carbon tax is the just the kind of insurance policy everyone needs.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Protection of U.S. citizens

To the Editor: To the citizens who are so outraged by the temporary stop on immigration from certain countries, I ask you to consider this: One of the president’s primary responsibilities is the protection of the citizens of our country from attacks by armies from other countries of the world. And, yes we are at war, with an army of terrorists.

Unlike past wars, our enemy is not easily identified. This army does not wear recognizable uniforms as was the case in World War II, Korea, and some combatants in Vietnam. These killers could be dressed in denim, a business suit, a hijab or other garb associated with the Islamic religion, or even a young person with a backpack filled with explosives.

They could be entering our country by flying in as ordinary visitors or sneaking over the southern border. They swear allegiance to ISIS, or Al Qaeda, or the Taliban, all who believe the Koran tells them to convert the infidels or kill them.

Thus the need for extreme vetting.

The refugees from Syria, especially, cannot be easily checked out because the country and its government is in a state of chaos. How can we obtain the information needed for proper vetting?

VIEWS Austin Berg industry come to mind. But that doesn’t paint the whole picture.

Illinois is home to the most units of government in the nation at nearly 7,000. And while some may talk a big game on spending reform, many Republican lawmakers rely on the support of those duplicative local governments in their districts.

Here’s why that poses a problem: Local reform must be a major component of any state budget plan. The pain felt by homeowners comes at the local level, and it’s forcing families to move beyond Illinois’ borders.

Changing a culture of local government overspending will be difficult. It requires aggressive consolidation. It requires freezing property taxes and limiting the ability of local governments to raise revenues. It requires reforming the state subsidies that block accountability and fuel excessive spending. And it requires empowering local leaders to balance their budgets without the burden of costly Springfield

This administration wants to take a breather on immigration while it puts in place procedures that will, hopefully, make it more difficult for these killers to enter the U.S. I would say this is a prudent measure under the circumstances. Remember, this is a temporary curtailment for the safety of us.

mandates.

Real property tax reform requires all of those things. But politicians on both sides of the aisle are reluctant to throw their weight behind the whole package, because those reforms strike at the heart of bloated local government.

Take the Local Government Distributive Fund, or LGDF. This state fund is made up of $1.3 billion in income tax money that the state hands out to local governments with no strings attached.

Local leaders say this money is used to help keep property taxes low. But that argument doesn’t hold water in a state with the highest property taxes in the nation.

They also say it’s a pillar of basic services such as public safety. That’s a convenient excuse. In reality, this money enables reckless spending habits propped up by the state. Practices such as pension spiking, sick leave accumulation and pension “pickups” are rampant in the Land of Lincoln.

Money from the LGDF also enables local governments to pay the state-mandated prevailing wage for work on public projects. The costs this requirement entails are astonishing.

The average annual compensation package for workers receiving the

prevailing wage in Cook and Sangamon counties is over $110,000. Meanwhile, private-sector workers in those counties take home median earnings of $34,990 and $34,521, respectively.

Local governments are even spending taxpayer money to lobby against taxpayer interests.

When a statewide property tax freeze proposal was gaining steam in the General Assembly in 2015, government agencies across the state paid out more than $9 million to lobbyists who killed reform efforts, according to data obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests.

And yet, most Republicans still won’t touch programs like the LGDF. Doing so requires taking on the mayors, township supervisors, highway commissioners, park district officials and legions of others who have staked their hopes on multibillion-dollar tax hikes as a way out of the budget mess.

More Illinois politicians must move beyond political convenience, and muster the courage to ease that suffering.

The path of least resistance won’t cut it anymore.

candidates for re-election, they decided to leave their party to run as “Independents”.

Things are so bad in McHenry Township that the new Republicans, who are now a majority of the party, said “Enough is enough. We’ve screwed up. We need to change. We need new members of our party to get elected and clean things up.”

Most of the new Republicans have never held elected office before. They don’t want to destroy their party. They don’t want to abandon their party. They don’t want to start a new party. They want to fix it.

Vote for the real Republicans.

Illinoisans are fleeing the state in record numbers. Homeowners pay the highest property taxes in the nation.

And high-need residents are suffering under budget priorities that don’t put them at the front of the line. Why? A simple truth explains the root of this pain: Politicians do not bear the cost of government. In fact, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle grow more and more powerful as the size of state and local government increases.

To varying degrees, the power bases of both parties depend on the status quo. Both sides would come under fire for taking on necessary spending reforms.

First, let’s look at the Illinois Democrats. Under the direction of House Speaker Mike Madigan, the Democratic political operation has functioned in a similar fashion for decades. The party’s power base is composed of state workers, public-sector unions, trial lawyers and some social service providers.

The foot soldiers of Chicago’s political machine make up the remainder.

Most Illinoisans are familiar with that hierarchy and its consequences.

The Republican power base, however, is less understood. Stereotypical suburban households and titans of

Sears may sell land, cut jobs to save $1B

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO and JOSEPH PISANI

“We believe the actions outlined today will reduce our overall cash funding requirements and ensure that Sears Holdings becomes a more agile and competitive retailer with a clear path toward profitability.”

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Sears might sell more locations, cut more jobs and put more of its famous brands on the block as part of its latest plan to revive the faltering retail chain.

The company, which also owns Kmart, said Friday that it is cutting costs by at least $1 billion a year. It also said that it was adding $140 million in liquidity by reworking its debt, giving the company more breathing room.

The Hoffman Estates retailer, which has been losing money for years, also said comparable-store sales during the holiday shopping season weren’t as bad as industry analysts had believed them to be.

Shares of Sears Holding Corp., which are already down 40 percent this year, soared 30 percent at Friday’s opening bell.

Sears had already announced last month the closing of 150 of its 1,500 stores. It did not announce new store closures Friday, but said it would “actively manage our real estate portfolio to identify additional opportunities.”

It also might sell two of its brands – Kenmore appliances and DieHard car batteries – after striking a deal last month to sell its popular tool brand Craftsman.

Job cuts also might be on the way as it streamlines its organization structure, but the company did not release any details. Sears had about 178,000

Shoppers walk into Sears on May 17, 2012, in Peabody, Mass. The troubled department store chain, said it might sell more of its real estate, cut more jobs and sell more of its famous brands as it seeks to make a profit. employees in the U.S. last year.

From November to January, which includes the holiday shopping season, Sears expects sales to have fallen 10.3 percent at its established stores. That’s better than the drop of 13.1 percent that Wall Street had expected, according to FactSet. “We believe the actions outlined today will reduce our overall cash funding requirements and ensure that Sears Holdings becomes a more agile

and competitive retailer with a clear path toward profitability,” CEO and Chairman Edward Lampert said in a company release.

Lampert, whose hedge fund has forwarded millions in funding to keep Sears afloat, has long pledged to turn the company’s fortunes around and that the retailer would find ways capitalize on its best-known brands, as well as its vast holdings of land.

Lampert, a billionaire hedge fund

manager, combined Sears and Kmart in 2005, about two years after he helped bring Kmart out of bankruptcy. But the retail landscape has undergone seismic shifts since then.

While Amazon.com had been up and running for almost a decade at that time, the titanic disruption in retail went into full force around the time of the recession a few years later.

But Sears’ troubles go further than that, having to compete on appliance sales with Home Depot and to match the cut-rate prices at huge chains such as Wal-Mart.

And old rivals have made it tougher. J.C. Penney has brought back to its floors major appliances more than 30 years after abandoning the sale of refrigerators and stoves.

Sears has ramped up online services, but it’s having a hard time disguising its age. Stores are in need of a major redo.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2017

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – Martin Sheen has briefly reprised his “West Wing” role as president in a new ad backing his friend seeking election as a Pennsylvania judge.

Sheen played the fictional President Josiah Bartlet in the series and brought the role back briefly in the roughly two-minute ad for Judge Joe Cosgrove. Cosgrove is seeking election to Commonwealth Court.

As Bartlet, Sheen reads a proclamation calling for Cosgrove’s reappointment, citing his legal mind and “courageous” decisions. Sheen said he’s known Cosgrove for most of his life and called him his brother.

Sting, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Legend to perform at Oscars

NBC photo via AP

Alec Baldwin portrays President Donald Trump on Feb. 4 in the opening sketch of “Saturday Night Live” in New York.

Late-night comedy rushes in to the Donald Trump era NEW YORK – HBO’s ads promoting John Oliver on “Last Week Tonight” depict him cowering behind a desk, with the tag line, “Scary times call for a scared man.”

Be not afraid. Between Oliver’s return Sunday from a three-month hiatus and Donald Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin’s stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” this is shaping up to be a big weekend in what has already been a promising start to the Trump era in late-night comedy.

Melissa McCarthy’s impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer exploded on social media last weekend. Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah are nightly newscasters of the absurd, Samantha Bee is continuing her biting work and Stephen Colbert’s opinionated topicality has rejuvenated his CBS show in competition with NBC’s Jimmy Fallon.

“We have to live in (Trump’s) world now,” said Steve Bodow, executive producer of “The Daily Show.” “We used to be able to observe him, but now we have to live in his world. He’s taken the country hostage, in a way.”

The mountain of material has been daunting. Bodow’s fellow executive producer, Jen Flanz, likens the pace to cramming for a different test every day. Bee seemed breathless while recently telling viewers, “Believe me, we are not done,” and beseeching them to stick with her through a commercial break after comparing confusion surrounding Trump’s immigration order to the “healthcare.gov of Islamophobia.”

Once an occasional feature, Meyers’ “A Closer Look” segment is like a newspaper opened every day at the top of his show. There’s so much to work with that he said he toggles between “multiple Constitutional crises” and “mundane, everyday weirdness,” like confusing comments Trump made about historical figure Frederick Douglass.

This year’s Oscar telecast will have some big Grammy Award winners: Sting, Justin Timberlake, John Legend and Lin-Manuel Miranda are all slated to perform the tunes nominated for Best Original Song.

Timberlake will perform “Can’t Stop The Feeling” from the movie “Trolls” and Sting will perform “The Empty Chair” from “Jim: The James Foley Story,” the Oscar-nominated song he co-wrote with three-time Oscar nominee J. Ralph.

Legend will perform both “Audition (The Fools Who Dream)” and “City of Stars” from “La La Land” and Miranda will team up with Auli’i Cravalho to perform the Oscar-nominated song “How Far I’ll Go” from “Moana.”

The Oscars air Feb. 26 on ABC, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

O’Donnell mirrors Steve Bannon in new Twitter pic

NEW YORK – After saying she’d like to play President Donald Trump’s controversial adviser Steve Bannon on “Saturday Night Live,” comedienne Rosie O’Donnell has changed her Twitter profile picture to make herself look like him.

O’Donnell’s offer to play the chief strategist came after actress Melissa McCarthy’s caustic portrayal of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on “SNL” last weekend.

O’Donnell’s new Twitter picture appears to be a digitally altered picture of Bannon

with her face replacing his.

But the actress-comedian will not appear on the NBC show this weekend, her spokeswoman said Friday.

O’Donnell and Trump have publicly feuded in the past, with Trump making derogatory comments about O’Donnell’s looks and weight.

Museum ends Shia LaBeouf project, citing safety

NEW YORK – The Museum of the Moving Image announced Friday it has closed a performance art project involving Shia LaBeouf, citing “serious public safety hazards.”

The project involved the actor and others chanting “He will not divide us” in front of a camera outside the museum since Donald Trump’s first day as president three weeks ago. It was scheduled to last for four years.

The public was invited by LaBeouf and two collaborators to participate and the performances were live streamed around the clock.

But the museum said in a statement that the installation had become “a flashpoint for violence and was disrupted from its original intent.” Museum officials added that they were proud the museum had launched the “engaging and thought-provoking digital art installation.”

On Friday, the hewillnotdivide.us website said the museum had “abandoned the project. The artists, however, have not.” They did not elaborate on the site.

‘Food tossed is money lost’

Studies show reducing waste is good for the Earth and your wallet

R

emember how it was when you were a kid sitting at the kitchen table and your mother served up a healthy helping of rutabagas? Gross, right?

You slipped them to the family dog or spooned them into a napkin to get them out of sight. But there was no fooling Mom. Your failed sleight-of-hand resulted in a guilt trip and membership in the Clean Your Plate Club.

Fast-forward to today and you’ll find wasting food has costly consequences extending well beyond your plate.

“Getting food from the farm to our fork eats up 10 percent of the total U.S. energy budget, uses 50 percent of U.S. land and swallows 80 percent of all freshwater consumed in the United States. Yet 40 percent of food in the United States goes uneaten,” according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The environmental advocacy

By DEAN FOSDICK • The Associated Press group says cutting food waste by just 15 percent would help feed more than 25 million people a year “at a time when 1 in 6 Americans lack a secure supply of food to their tables.”

Alice Henneman, an extension educator with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, puts it another way: “Food tossed is money lost.”

Food rots when dumped in a landfill, and produces methane, a greenhouse gas said to contribute to climate change. Food wasted in stores and restaurants cuts into profits.

But incentives have been introduced to reduce food waste, many of them financial.

“Tax benefits are available for restaurants and stores for donating food,” Henneman said. “People are buying ‘ugly food and vegetables,’ or produce that is misshapen in appearance, in stores because stores are offering them at a discount.”

Michigan State University has been aggressive about fighting food waste in its 10 dining halls, where more than 30,000 meals are served daily.

“Food is expensive,” said Carla Iansiti, sustainability projects manager for MSU’s Culinary Services.

“We train our staff members to get the most volume out of their product, only cut what you need for a recipe and be creative about using all the products.”

The university remodeled several of its dining halls to be trayless and stocked them with smaller dishes.

“It makes a difference with smaller plates and fewer plates, and people always have the option to come back for more,” Iansiti said.

Additional tips for minimizing food waste: • Think landfill diversion. Compost your leftovers for better crop or garden production, or mix them with animal feed. Freeze or can surplus

garden produce or donate it to a food bank.

• There is value in sizing. Buy things that won’t spoil in quantity.

• Check your garbage. Cook dishes that have proven popular and don’t end up being thrown out.

• Buy often and buy fresh, eating

as much as you can before it goes bad. Shop your refrigerator before

purchasing more.

• Practice portion control. Share rather than discard leftovers. Ask for a sample when dining out if you’re uncertain about ordering something. Don’t rush through meals.

• Plan “cook-it-up” menus. Check expiration dates and move older food products toward the front of your shelves so they can be used first.

Hometown: McHenry Year you became a Master Gardener: 1997

like the Farm Daddy system. This is a type of earth box that is hooked up to a rain barrel and is moisture-regulated with a simple float. These systems allow me to grow more green vegetables so I can juice the products to drink.

In the garden, I bend metal hoops and use row covers to protect from deer damage and to deter insects and frost prevention. I have many contained beds, which use composted materials and wood chips in the walkways.

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

A little more than 20 years ago, our local newspaper announced the University of Illinois was offering Master Gardener training. I was accepted into the program, and I also started taking horticulture courses from McHenry County College. Having worked with many volunteers during my professional life, I also felt it was time to reciprocate. I have been involved with many of the Master Gardener projects, having volunteered at the MCC Greenhouse, the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden and the plant sales.

In 1999, a committee was formed to develop a community garden in Harvard based on a model from Wisconsin. Ground was broken in 2000 and, since that time, the garden has grown and is now three times its original size. All the produce benefits the Harvard Food Pantry. The garden also serves to educate children, teaching them how to garden and, more importantly, how to eat healthy food. I especially like to teach them about insects, and I bring in an observation hive with honeybees. We also have a night for the parents so they can observe what we are teaching their children. It takes many helping hands to make this community garden successful.

What tips do you have for someone who is just getting started, either with their own garden or in training to become a Master Gardener?

I encourage you to visit our ongoing projects, such as the Garden Walk or Garden Fest, take a walk through the Demonstration Garden at MCC or visit with us on Monday mornings at the Harvard garden adjacent to the library. Call the University of Illinois Extension office at 815-3383737 for information.

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

I grew up in a small town in a coal mining, agricultural and industrial area in east central Illinois where my family farmed and were coal miners. Growing up in part of The Depression era, we lived off the land. We gardened and farmed with vegetables and a small orchard and also raised farm animals. As our home had only electric lighting – no electrical outlets, running water or refrigeration – we had to preserve our food for out-of-season produce and meat. My mother canned, smoked, sugar/salt cured, dried, pickled and made cheese from the cows’ milk.

I like food preservation and cooking, and there are several of McHenry County Master Gardeners who also are master food preservers.

What is your gardening specialty and why? All of my life, I have been involved with farming, and I continue to manage my farm properties downstate. After retirement, my wife and I traveled throughout the United States in a motor home, eventually spending more time in Florida in the winters. After becoming a Master Gardener in Illinois, I became a Master Gardener in Florida and further pursued additional education, attending the University of Florida Institute for Agriculture Science Extension classes and workshops in gardening, farming, worm raising, tomato grafting, hydroponics, food preservation and now beekeeping. I am enrolled in the University of Florida Master Beekeeper Program, a five-year program, where I am at the advanced level. Some of my garden space now is sowed with pollinator plants. There is a lack of pollinator plants for around 500 species of native bees in Illinois, as well as wasps and butterflies. This is a great concern of mine.

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

I like to experiment with different varieties.

It is not unusual for me to have 50 varieties of tomatoes, 30 varieties of peppers and 8 varieties of potatoes, as well as other vegetable varieties.

Garlic has been a specialty for many years.

Tomato grafting allowed me to experiment with creating tomatoes to resist soil-born diseases.

Hydroponics has provided me a way to extend the growing season, by at least a month earlier and later, to miss frosts without additional heat.

I made a hoop house out of cattle panels that provides 52 pots with more than 200 plants. In that facility, I use a modified VertiGrow System.

In addition, I have a Nutrient Film Technology system, tower garden, earth boxes, as well as experimental systems I have created. I really

32 Talk to doc before giving kids peanuts Dear Doctor: When it’s our turn to bring team snacks to the kids’ weekend soccer games, the most challenging part is accommodating so many allergies, especially to peanuts.

Is it true that there’s now a way to keep children from getting a peanut allergy in the first place?

Dear Reader: Food allergies among kids are a fact of life. In fact, the number of children who are allergic to one or more foods has increased by close to 50 percent in recent years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies affect 6 percent of American children.

An allergy occurs when the immune system flags a certain food as harmful, which sets off a physical reaction to that food.

The most common triggers are milk, eggs, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and, as you point out, peanuts. Children with siblings who have a food allergy, or who have eczema or asthma, are at higher risk of developing a food allergy.

For a child with an allergy, even a trace of the problem food can cause reactions that range from mild to severe.

These include hives, rash, stomach and digestive upset, headache, nasal congestion, itchy eyes and breathing problems. In some cases, reactions can be so extreme as to be life-threatening.

The reasons for the recent surge in food allergies aren’t entirely clear. But several new studies into peanut allergies in children have both overturned accepted wisdom and offered parents new hope.

In the past, parents had been told to avoid feeding peanuts, or anything containing peanuts, to children at risk of developing an allergy until they reached the age of 3. But some researchers ques-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier tioned that approach. Instead, they began to investigate whether early exposure to peanuts could actually prevent an allergy from developing.

In a landmark study, infants at high risk of developing a peanut allergy were divided into two groups.

One group was given a snack that contained peanuts starting between the ages of 4 and 11 months, and until they turned 5. The children in the other group avoided peanuts. At the end of the study, the children who ate peanuts were more than 80 percent less likely to have a peanut allergy than those whose diet was peanut-free.

The upshot is that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has issued new guidelines.

The institute now proposes that children who are at risk of a peanut allergy can eat products that contain peanuts beginning when they are between 4 and 6 months of age. But – and this is crucial – only after they have been first tested to make sure they don’t already have a peanut allergy.

Our position, as always, is that you should first discuss this issue with your pediatrician or primary care physician.

With your doctor as both partner and guide, you have the best chance at a good and safe outcome.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE S T E E R

surmise why you have difficulty interacting with others. However, there is nothing wrong with playing video games unless you substitute them for real-life experiences.

Surely, there are activities at your school that you could join that would give you more contact with your peers – sports and special interest clubs, such as art, come immediately to mind. If your family belongs to a church, there may be a youth group that would welcome you.

If you need suggestions for finding an activity at school that might be a good “fit,” talk to a counselor there. Explain how depressed and isolated you’re feeling and ask for help. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

And remember, things will change when you turn 16 and can drive and work.

Dear Abby: Many times, my co-workers make grammatical and punctuation errors in emails they send (both internal and external) or misuse words on conference calls. Is it in bad taste to mention to the individuals their misuse of the word “there” versus “their” or “your” versus “you’re”? One of the most common spoken grammatical mistakes is, “I seen it” instead of “I’ve seen” or “I saw.” I am not sure if they would appreciate knowing they are misusing words or if they might become offended. – Helpful in Florida Dear Helpful: If you see a co-worker consistently make grammatical errors, it would be doing the person a favor to point it out – once or twice – in private.

However, to continually harp on it would likely cause embarrassment, come across as one-upmanship and cause resentment. The same is true about errors that are spoken.

• Saturday, February 11, 2017

life is boring, repetitive and I am often depressed.

I have trouble talking to others, which makes things harder. Every day is the same: Get up, go to a long day of school, come home, do homework, play video games, draw, go to bed. The weekends aren’t much better. My family never does anything, we never go anywhere. I don’t have friends (the one I’d consider hanging out with is always busy), and at 15, I can’t drive anywhere, get a job or do anything on my own for another year. I have never kissed, dated or even had a crush on anyone (I’m not sure why, it’s not like I’m gay or too embarrassed), so I haven’t got much to talk about with my peers anyway.

I’m alone. I’m not popular, I’m a complete nerd and I’m afraid to tell others what I enjoy.

If I tell anyone I like video games and Dungeons and Dragons, I know I’ll be mocked for the next few years of my life. I’m pretty smart and I do well in school, but I’m not good at much else.

My social skills are borderline nonexistent. My entire life is school. I just want some attention, some friends, something to do with my life. I need help, some advice, something, ANYthing! –

Going Out of Business Sale

OPEN HOUSE

Robert Orben, a comedy writer, penned: “Every speaker has a mouth; / An arrangement rather neat. / Sometimes it’s filled with wisdom. / Sometimes it’s filled with feet.”

There are times at the bridge table when you feel as though you must get out from under your own feet. In this deal, for example, South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace and continues with the heart king. Everything looks so easy, but what must declarer do?

North made a support double over West’s two-heart intervention, which showed exactly three-card spade support, but did not define his point-count. South, with an opening bid of his own, jumped to game, trusting that North would bid more in the unlikely event that he had extra values, and West had made a very weak vulnerable overcall.

The contract looked easy, with South apparently having 10 winners via five spades and five clubs. But after ruffing the heart king, cashing his spade ace and playing a spade to dummy’s king, East’s diamond discard was a blow.

South paused, then saw the solution. He cashed two top clubs, then finished removing West’s trumps, and declarer, on the fourth round of spades, ditched dummy’s last club.

South took three more tricks with his remaining high clubs to make his contract.

Finally, note that if East had bravely raised hearts, despite zero points and being vulnerable, West might have taken the push to five hearts, knowing that East was very short in spades. Five hearts doubled goes down two, or perhaps only one if North does not lead a trump very early in the defense to cut down those spade ruffs.

BOYS BASKETBALL: RICHMOND-BURTON 66, JOHNSBURG 57

Bayer closes deal

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – When things got tight in the fourth quarter, Richmond-Burton’s players never lost their composure.

The Rockets just looked for “The Closer.”

When Johnsburg hacked a once-double-digit lead to two, R-B found point guard Blaine Bayer in the left corner for a 3-pointer.

A couple of minutes later, with the Rockets Blaine Bayer leading by one, it was Bayer who had the ball and was fouled. He strolled to the line and started a string of six straight free throws in 39 seconds that touched nothing but nylon.

“It’s because he’s so good, honestly,” guard Jake Kaufman said. “You give him the ball and no one can steal it from him, and he can hit pretty much every shot. So, we felt really comfortable giving him the ball. Plus, he’s the best freethrow shooter on our team, probably in the area.”

Bayer helped the Rockets seal a 6657 victory in their Kishwaukee River Conference boys basketball game Friday night at Lou Ramirez Gymnasium with 24 points, while Kaufman added 22.

The win kept R-B (14-12 overall, 7-2 KRC) ahead of Burlington Central and Marengo by one-half game in the standMichelle LaVigne for Shaw Media ings.

North held a moment of silence before the game for assistant principal Steven Rick, who died last weekend at age 39. Rick had been battling stage 4 metastatic melanoma. the third quarter and was a 3-pointer away from the 40-point mark.

Ortiz said he didn’t really know how many he had scored until the break before the fourth quarter.

“That wasn’t even processing un-

til the end of the third quarter when coach (Steve Ryan) said, ‘Vic, keep shooting the ball,’ ” Ortiz said. “I was like, OK.’ ” Ortiz made a pull-up 3 to reach 40, then hit another 3 and added a fastbreak layup to give him 45 before being taken out of the game.

His six-point performance earlier in the week against Marengo is long forgotten now.

“I told him, ‘You’ve just got to keep shooting,’” Ryan said. “He comes to practice every day ready to go. Tonight, I don’t know. It’s unbelievable.

I have not been able to see something like that. It was great to watch.”

North (5-16, 2-7 KRC) controlled the game from the tip, jumping out to an 11-0 lead. The Thunder’s full-court press gave Harvard (5-17, 0-9) fits. The Hornets turned the ball over 17 times, 11 in the first half.

“I thought (the press) hurt us early,” Harvard coach Donnie Nolen said.

“But halfway through the first quarter, second quarter we broke it. They have more size than us. They’re hitting 3s.

Vic had a great game shooting.”

North outrebounded the Hornets,

40-18, on the night. Thunder forward Mergl grabbed 15 boards and scored eight points. Guard Schaffter and forward Luke Moors each scored seven points.

Mergl was in awe of his sharpshooting teammate.

“It was outstanding,” Mergl said.

“He was on fire, and we just tried to keep feeding him to get him shots. He was hitting everything.”

For Harvard, junior guard Josh Peterson made five 3-pointers and scored 15 points. Senior guard Eric McDowell added 10 points.

Ryan said North’s full-court press was something his team has been tinkering with lately. He felt his defense was more aggressive than in past games. Most of Ortiz’s two-point baskets came on fast-break layups after a Thunder steal.

“It’s been a while since we’ve played that well from start to finish,” Ryan said. “I thought we set the tone with our defense. That kind of got us going.

We got kids confident.

“The night comes down to Vic Ortiz.

He got in one of those grooves, and he was just throwing them in.”

for the Gators. South (9-14, 5-7) got strong offensive performances from Tyler Haskin and Matthew Meyers and held a 23-21 lead with 2:07 left in the second quarter. That is when Jacobs took over, thanks to the play of its veterans. Cooper Schwartz, Cam Krutwig and Kameron Mack each hit baskets, and Jacobs entered halftime with a five-point lead.

Jacobs extended the lead to double digits in the third quarter and never trailed again.

“We started to get points off transition, and that really carried us,” Schwartz said. “When we went ahead by 10 points, we started to play with a lot more confidence and swagger, and that makes us a tough team to beat.”

Krutwig proved to be too much inside, as the senior finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds to lead Jacobs.

“In the first half we didn’t have much energy and came out kind of flat,” Krutwig said. “We focused on that at halftime and played with a lot more energy in the

second half.”

The Jacobs bench contributed as well, led by Adam Kale, who finished with 11 points, including three 3-pointers.

Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts was pleased with the way his team played after a slow first half.

“We had 10 turnovers in the first half, which isn’t us,” Roberts said. “On the road, it’s tough to win, and South had more energy than us in the first half and played hard and hit shots. We usually are capable of going on multiple runs, and Cooper really sparked us tonight, which helped us get the win.”

South put forth a great effort but couldn’t hit enough shots in the second half. The Gators were led by Meyers with 17 points and Haskin with eight.

“We knew we needed to score to have a chance and take as many shots as we could,” Gators coach Matt LePage said.

“We played well in the third but just missed shots. They are a very full team and a tough team to beat.”

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock North’s Vic Ortiz failed to make any 3-pointers in a loss to Marengo on Tuesday. He made up for it Friday, draining eight 3s and setting a single-game school record with 45 points in a 78-48 Kishwaukee River Conference win over Harvard.

The 5-foot-10 senior Vic Ortiz guard made 14 total field goals and shot 9 for 12 from the free-throw line. He surpassed Josh Jandron’s previous school record of 36 points set in 2015. “(It feels) pretty good, I can’t lie,” Ortiz said. “I’ve just got to thank my teammates for finding me the ball.

Red Raiders keep FVC streak alive

FREE TIRE ROTATION with oil change with this ad

By ALEX KANTECKI

HUNTLEY – The Huntley girls basketball team figured its chance for a fourth straight Fox Valley Conference title had slipped away after consecutive losses to Crystal Lake South, CaryGrove and Hampshire almost two weeks ago.

The Red Raiders bounced back, however, with three straight conference wins. To their surprise, the potential for a fourth FVC championship in four years was there for the taking.

Huntley completed its strong finish to the conference season Friday, defeating Prairie Ridge, 39-29, to claim a share of the conference title with Dundee-Crown, Hampshire and CaryGrove.

All four teams were tied atop the conference standings going into their final games, and all four won on the last day of the regular season to earn a share of the conference championship.

“I think it was kind of an eye opener that we just can’t walk on the floor and get a win,” said Huntley senior Morgan Clausen, who had 15 points and 14 rebounds against Prairie Ridge.

“After those losses, it was kind of a slap in the face. We had it in the back of our minds that we might not get this, so we had to come together. We wanted to continue the legacy of the teams before us.”

D-C’s last conference title came in 2005, and C-G won four consecutive FVC titles from 2010 to 2013. Hampshire shared the FVC Fox Division championship with Prairie Ridge in 2015.

“The entire season, we’ve been working for it,” Huntley junior Jackie Dorin said of winning the FVC championship. “Losing three straight, our confidence took a hit, so we really had to work hard for it. We just really wanted it.”

Dorin added 10 points and five rebounds for the Raiders (16-12, 11-5 FVC), while Grace Gajewski had seven points and her team’s only 3-pointer.

Huntley ended the first quarter on an 11-3 run over the final 2:22 to take the lead, 13-6, and never trailed again.

Missy Moffett had four points and two assists, and Kaylee Andrea added two points and two steals.

Prairie Ridge’s Sarah Wolf did not play Friday after spraining her ankle Saturday in a 55-44 win over Crystal Lake Central. The Wolves played with six varsity players against Huntley, and also called up a pair of freshmen. “She’s really filled a big role for us,” Wolves coach Rick Lima said of Wolf. “It’s a big loss.”

“I’m proud of the way that they responded after facing some adversity,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “At one point, we didn’t know if we were going to have an opportunity to get back into the conference race. Fortunately, things fell our way. To our kids’ credit, they won their last four games to put themselves in position for a championship.”

Prairie Ridge was led by Nicole Dorn with 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting, Karly Statter added eight points, and Emily Perhats had five, including a 3-pointer. The Wolves (9-17, 4-12) face Crystal Lake Central in a Class 4A McHenry Regional first-round game Monday.

“Both games against Central have been close, so I would expect them to come at us hard,” Wolves coach Rick Lima said. “I told the kids today, I think this is a really good game for us.

Playing against a great team like Huntley going into the playoffs is a really good thing.”

Huntley, meanwhile, has won four consecutive regionals and starts the postseason Tuesday with a Class 4A Harlem Regional first-round game against Harlem.

If they win that, the Raiders will face No. 2-seeded Hononegah in a regional semifinal the next day.

8 PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

Goebbert starts anew with Diamondbacks By the numbers

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jake Goebbert described his 2016 baseball season as “tumultuous.”

Goebbert went through spring training with Pittsburgh but was cut before the season and spent Opening Day at home for the first time since 2010.

He was picked up shortly thereafter

by Tampa Bay and hit .218 with Triple-A Durham, his lowest average in seven minor league seasons.

It led to soul searching, analysis and more offseason work. When Goebbert heads to his eighth spring training Sunday, it will be with a sense of newness – a new team (Arizona), new ideas on hitting and a new daughter, 4-monthold Evelyn, their first child.

“The game kind of beat me last year,” said Goebbert, a 2006 Hampshire graduate. “There’s no excuse for it. That’s just the way it is. That’s why I’m looking forward to a fresh start, another chance to make the most of this opportunity.”

Goebbert felt he hit the ball hard in April with the Bulls but had little to show for it. After a while, he thought it became a mental thing. His lowest previous average was .262 in 2013 in Double-A and Triple-A, but that also was his best power year with 22 home runs and 81 RBIs. After Goebbert finished in Durham, he flew to Los Angeles for a few days to get some new ideas on hitting. He also played a month of winter baseball in the Dominican Republic.

“It was good for me,” he said. “I have a fresh outlook on hitting right now. I feel like I’m back to where I want to be.”

Goebbert signed recently with Arizona. He planned to leave Sunday for Phoenix with his father, Lloyd, the first time they will go to spring training together. Heather and Evelyn will join him soon.

Goebbert reached the major leagues

Arizona Diamondbacks minor league outfielder Jake Goebbert, shown with his daughter, Evelyn, and wife, Heather, leaves Sunday for his first spring training with his new team.

Goebbert is a 2006 Hampshire graduate. with San Diego in June 2014, playing in 51 games and hitting .218. His first major-league at-bat was a pinch-hit single off the Dodgers’ Dan Haren with his family in the stands at Petco Park.

“My expectations and my drive is to get to the big leagues as fast as I can,” said Goebbert, the 2006 Northwest Her-

ald Male Athlete of the Year. “Anything less than that, I won’t say it’s failure, but I have to continue to pursue the goals and dreams. I’ve been to the big leagues and my main focus is to get back.”

Goebbert, who hits and bats left-handed and plays outfield and first

base, realizes time is not on his side at 29 years old. Even as a seasoned veteran, he wants to learn from last season.

“There were a lot of different things I wasn’t prepared for. That’s life and that’s baseball,” Goebbert said. “But you know what? I can look back on that year because I learned a lot and, hey, everybody has a bad year in their career.”

Goebbert came back to Hampshire and worked at his family’s farm, Goebbert’s Pumpkin Patch, on Route 47, as he does every offseason. He worked out with his same strength coach and hit with former Barrington baseball coach Kirby Smith, Lloyd’s former high school coach. On most days, Goebbert worked with Smith at FattFro Zone in Lake Barrington, with current Barrington hitting coach Nate Gray tossing batting practice.

Goebbert is excited about a new start and thrilled that his girls soon will be with him in Phoenix.

“It will be fun to have them down there and have a little family time,” Goebbert said. “I have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful wife who’s been supporting for many years. When baseball is done, it’ll be done and I won’t have any regrets because I gave it my all every day.”

CARY-GROVE FOOTBALL

Toxicology report on ex-Trojan Kube likely to take 2 weeks NORTHWEST HERALD Alex Kube left a legacy as a topflight athlete and sports trainer, along with one as a person who enjoyed life and wanted others to do the same.

Kube, a 2006 Cary-Grove graduate, died at 11:50 p.m. Wednesday at Rockford’s Mercyhealth Rockton Avenue Hospital. Winnebago County coroner Bill Hintz performed an autopsy Thursday but said the preliminary

cause of death will need further studies.

A representative from the coroner’s office said Friday toxicology reports usually take about two weeks to get results.

Kube, 29, was a star football player at Alex Kube C-G and was the 2005 Northwest Herald Football Player of

the Year. He became the first freshman in 31 years to lead Northern Illinois University’s defense in tackles and had a successful career with the Huskies.

After graduating from NIU, Kube had NFL tryouts with the Bears and Minnesota Vikings. He then started his own business, Elite 7, which trained young athletes and was highly regarded by local athletes for helping them reach their goals.

Kube was a standout running back and safety on C-G’s teams in 2004 and 2005. In 2004, the Trojans were Class 7A state runners-up to Libertyville.

“It wasn’t just his ability to play, he was such a great teammate to everybody and a hard worker,” former Trojans coach Bruce Kay said. “He was very serious about football and what he was doing. He was one of our big building blocks for the program. He was a difference-maker.”

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane scores a goal past Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck during the first period Friday in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Jets coach Paul Maurice said. “Busy overall, for sure early which is tough.

You’d love to see him ease into a game.

It was lots of action to the net early in the game.”

Bryan Little and Adam Lowry scored for Winnipeg.

“I thought we had a bit of a slow start. I thought they came out hungry and controlled a lot of the play early in the game and got that goal right away,” Little said. “I thought we did

a good job in the second and the third battling back and getting our chances and making it a close game.”

Kane opened the scoring at 15:37 of the opening period with his 18th of the season, firing a one-timer off Panarin’s long cross-ice feed to beat Hellebuyck low to the glove side.

The goal was Kane’s 269th, moving him past Tony Amonte for the most goals by an American in Blackhawks history, and into sixth on the overall

franchise list.

Little found the equalizer for Winnipeg at 1:43 of the second, quickly grabbing a net-side rebound off a Tobias Enstrom point shot.

Anisimov scored late in the second.

Kane set up Panarin for a one timer and Anisimov buried the rebound, moving him into a brief tie with Hossa for the team lead in goals at 19.

Keith added his goal with less than three minutes remaining, scoring his fifth of the season on a point-blast to make it 3-1. Hossa moved back into the team goal lead with a short-handed empty-netter, and Panarin added another into an empty net to ice it with 16 seconds left.

HAWKS NOTES

Schmaltz hopes to make most of pairing with Toews

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Playing with Jonathan Toews is not an automatic ticket to NHL success.

“It’s a great challenge and a great opportunity,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

Rookie Nick Schmaltz is the latest to get that golden career opportunity, and the 2014 first-round draft pick (20th overall) is determined to make the most of it.

Schmaltz, who turns 21 on Feb. 23, scored a key goal off a classic Toews feed in the Blackhawks’ 4-3 overtime victory against the Wild on Wednesday night to give him three goals and four points in 10 games since returning from Rockford on Jan. 14. Schmaltz had one goal and four points in 26 games before being sent down on Dec. 4.

“One of the best organizations and

you get a chance to play with Jonathan Toews – one of the best centers in the game – you have to take advantage of it,” said Schmaltz, who will turn 21 on Feb. 23.

Schmaltz started his fifth consecutive game on Toews’ line with Richard Panik on Friday night against the Winnipeg Jets.

“I’ve watched him Nick Schmaltz for many years,” Schmaltz said. “He went to North Dakota and I went to North Dakota, so we kind of had that connection right away.

You just appreciate how hard he works on the ice, off the ice. How well he takes care of himself; what a great team guy he is. It’s really special to be on the same team and be able to play on a line with him.”

The challenge for Schmaltz is the

same as for any young player under Quenneville – being as “responsible” defensively as he is gifted offensively.

“Offensively, it’s natural for him,” Quenneville said. “He seems to sustain pucks and he puts it in good areas,” Quenneville said. “He’s a threat off the rush. He gets to the net the last game and gets rewarded.

“Defensively, finding that consistency will make him a better player game-in, game-out. Working with Jonny should help him as well.”

Resurgent captain: Maybe it was just the import of a big game, but Toews’ energy level was noticeably amped up against the Wild.

“I don’t know. I’m just moving my feet,” the Hawks’ captain said. “This is something I’ve been trying to tell myself – to keep my feet moving and protect the puck … at least the way I used to play a little bit heavier down low and not giv-

ing pucks up too much in the corners.

I think eventually if you do that, plays develop.”

Kane passes Amonte: Patrick Kane’s first-period goal Friday against the Jets – a one-timer from the right circle off a feed from Artemi Panarin — was the 269th of his NHL career, breaking a tie with Tony Amonte (269) for sixth on the Hawks’ all-time goal list. Dennis Hull is fifth with 298 goals.

Road trip finale: Scott Darling is expected to start in goal when the Hawks conclude their six-game road trip Saturday against the Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton. After that, the Hawks will have a bye week until facing the Oilers at the United Center on Feb. 18.

“We’ve played a ton of hockey in December and January and leading up to this break,” Toews said, “so I think it’s something we’ll definitely take advantage of.”

• Saturday, February 11, 2017

WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks finally beat the Winnipeg Jets.

Kane and linemates Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin each scored and combined for seven points to help the Blackhawks beat the Jets, 5-2, Friday night. Winnipeg won the first four games between the teams this season, outscoring the Hawks, 14-5.

“I think we had a great first. That’s the way we want to play right there,” Kane said. “Every line was going, we had a couple good power plays. We didn’t score on them, but had some chances, got the lead and great period overall. That’s the way we want to play.”

Duncan Keith’s late goal was the winner, and Marian Hossa also scored.

The goaltenders were busy in the fifth and final meeting of the season between the Central Division rivals.

The Hawks’ Corey Crawford made 28 saves in his 22nd victory of the season.

“I think, definitely, we played really good in our end,” Hossa said.

“Obviously, Corey stood on his head tonight, but I think overall we’re improving defensively which is a good sign.”

Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck stopped 31 of the 34 shots he faced. “(Hellebuyck was) real good,”

10 BULLS

Did meeting turn season around?

Wade: ‘Too soon’ to tell, but team playing better since drama hit

BY JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com PHOENIX – In Dwyane Wade’s mind, the regular-season finale against Brooklyn will be judgment day for this season’s Bulls.

That’s when the veteran will find out if harsh words from both him and teammate Jimmy Butler a few weeks back actually resonated.

“When I said it to you guys, I said, ‘We’ll see.’ But not now. Way too soon,” Wade said.

It was after a Jan. 25 loss to Atlanta that both Wade and Butler went hard into their teammates and coaching staff, questioning commitment, heart and work ethic. The firestorm became national headlines when Rajon Ron-

do then took to his Instagram account, questioning the leadership abilities of both Wade and Butler.

The result was a closed-door team meeting, fines, a benching and now actually some good basketball being played.

“I think we’re coming together,” veteran big man Taj Gibson said. “I think ever since that meeting, there was a little turmoil, but the way D-Wade’s been talking, the way Jimmy’s been talking, the way the young guys … everybody has just been playing hard for each other.

“Even when we’ve lost some tough games, guys are out there playing hard, fighting, diving on the floor. I can live with that. I can live with that at night, knowing we went out and played hard.”

Sure, the record was only 3-2 going into Friday night’s game in Phoenix, but it included a dominant performance in Oklahoma City, an overtime loss in Houston without Butler, and then a win in Sacramento.

In the wake of that Jan. 27 team meeting, Wade said, “We’ll see how our team either comes together or divides. … Is it going to be this or is it going to be better? Can it be better? You need to challenge guys to see, and my job is to challenge people. … If it challenges us to win more ballgames, I’ll be the bad teammate from that standpoint. So that’s the way it is.”

Wade said Friday that he loves the progress the team has made on the court, but judging an emotional point of the season shouldn’t take place until the last game is played.

“It’s just about keeping it up, keeping your spirits high, staying motivated, whatever the case may be,” Wade said. “That’s the biggest thing you need to continue. Obviously, we’ve been without Jimmy (right heel contusion) for a while and guys are getting opportunities. And they’re doing well with their opportunities.

“But guys have to continue to keep that same mindset that we had. Continue to play hard. Continue to play

together. That doesn’t mean we’ll win every one.”

What has been obvious on this road trip has been players having fun with each other again. Even after the Friday morning shootaround, players such as Rondo and Nikola Mirotic were competing to see who could throw basketballs closest to different obstacles throughout the arena.

As far as coach Fred Hoiberg was concerned, he didn’t know whether it was the meeting or simply players finally getting it, but he liked what has been displayed on the court ever since the drama hit.

“I guess I can only judge since we’ve had that meeting how we’ve played,” Hoiberg said. “And I’ve liked how we’ve gone out. You know our offense has been much better, our pace has been much better. … We’ve done a better job of playing the way we want to play since we had that meeting. Is it because of that meeting? Who knows, but the guys have done a better job of playing for each other.”

BULLS NOTES

No room to let up as All-Star break approaches

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com PHOENIX – It would be nice if the Bulls could kind of ease into the All-Star break, catch a breath and then start that run to the finish line, but as Dwyane Wade pointed out Friday, they have played themselves into not having that luxury.

Not only do they need to finish off the last three games strong as they head into the break, but they need to come out in an all-out sprint if they want to see postseason play.

“It’s a little different this year,” Wade said. “This is the first time since I’ve been in the NBA that we had this few of games (left) coming out of AllStar break. Normally, you’re in the 30 to 35 range. Now we’re in the low or mid-20s. It’s definitely go time after that.”

They have 25 to be exact.

A number even coach Fred Hoiberg seemed shocked with.

“I mean it’s crazy, we only have 25 games after All-Star break,” Hoiberg said. “And it’s going to be a sprint. You have

to understand the importance, the urgency that you have to come out with every night because of some of those losses that we did have early in the year. That’s what it’s about right now for us. Focus on the task at hand, and, hopefully, go out and play well every night and give ourselves a chance.”

Those chances got better, as they continued to get heathier Friday.

Wade (virus) was back after missing Wednesday’s game against the Warriors, while Jimmy Butler (right heel contusion) returned to the starting lineup after missing the past three games. The only player still sidelined was Paul Zipser, as the rookie still was dealing with tendinitis in his left ankle. “[The dog days are] that stretch between the holidays and the All-Star Break, where if you play with focus and energy, you have a chance to beat anybody,” Hoiberg said.

“If you don’t, then you have a chance to get beat by anybody.

That’s what this league is this

year.”

An ugly look: Bulls radio analyst Bill Wennington never played with Charles Oakley, but spent many minutes battling him in the paint, and to see what was going on between the former Bull and the New York Knicks was what Wennington called “bizarre.”

What Wennington said he couldn’t fathom would be a former organization turning its back on a player such as Oakley.

“You look at Charles, and New York had some very good teams and he was such a part of them,” Wennington said.

“And not just a part of them, but a big part of them. It would be frustrating. I played on three NBA teams – Chicago, Dallas and Sacramento, and I’m welcomed back every time and every building I go to.

And ownership has changed since I’ve played there. It would be very frustrating or AP photo disheartening if I couldn’t go back somewhere or felt like Bulls forward Jimmy Butler drives around Suns guard Eric Bledsoe on FriI wasn’t wanted or really not day night in Phoenix. The Bulls lost, 115-97. The game ended too late for story to appear in this edition. Log on to NWHerald.com for the more. welcomed.”

12 PGA TOUR

Back issues force Tiger to skip next 2 tourneys

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Tiger Woods pulled out of his next two tournaments because of ongoing back problems, a somber outlook for a 14-time major champion whose comeback barely lasted three tournaments before another setback.

Woods said Friday on his website that he still was coping with back spasms that he had before his withdrawal from the Dubai Desert Classic last week.

“My doctors have advised me not to play the next two weeks to continue my treatment and to let my back calm down,” Woods said. “This is not what I was hoping for or expecting.”

The Tiger Woods Foundation now runs the Genesis Open in Los Angeles, and Woods was expected to play Riviera next week for the first time since 2006.

He also withdrew from the Honda Classic near his home in Florida.

Woods said he still would go to Riviera to support the tournament.

Woods was out of golf for 15 months while recovering from three back surgeries – the first one a week before the 2014 Masters, the most recent in October 2015 – and returned with high hopes at an unofficial event in the Bahamas the first week in December. Woods made 24 birdies to offset a litany of mistakes and finished 15th in an 18-man field.

His return to a full field didn’t last long. Woods didn’t make the cut at Torrey Pines, and lasted only one round at Dubai, where he shot 77 and walked gingerly on the putting greens and climbing out of bunkers. He cited back spasms the next day when he withdrew.

Earlier in the week, Woods said in a promotional interview that he didn’t think he would “ever feel great” again.

“I feel good, not great,” Woods said in the interview. “Granted, I don’t think I’ll ever feel great because it’s three back surgeries, four knee operations. I’m always going to be a little sore. It’s just the way it is. As long as I can function, and function at a good enough level, I’m fine with that.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Spieth fires 64 to tie for lead; fog suspends play at Pebble The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Jordan Spieth made the putts and beat the fog at Spyglass Hill, posting a 7-under-par 65 on Friday in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Spieth was at 10-under 133. He was tied for the lead with Derek Fathauer, who also was 10 under with the ninth hole to play at Pebble Beach.

Jason Day, the world’s No. 1 player, was 7 under for the day through 12 at Spyglass and was one shot behind.

The second round was suspended when fog rolled into the Monterey Peninsula, making it difficult to see more than 120 yards. Play will resume Saturday morning.

Rain has soaked all three courses and kept the first round from being completed until mid-morning Friday.

PGA CHAMPIONS TOUR Allianz Championship: At Boca Raton,

Florida, Olin Browne had eight birdies in a nine-hole stretch and shot a 9-under 63 to take the first-round lead.

The 57-year-old Browne birdied Nos.

17 through 2 and 4 through 7 on The Old Course at Broken Sound Club. He lives in nearby Tequesta.

Browne has two senior victories, the 2011 U.S. Senior Open and 2015 Greater Gwinnett Championship. He won the 2005 Deutsche Bank Championship for the last of his three PGA Tour titles.

Kenny Perry was two strokes back.

He opened with an eagle on the par-5 first.

Tom Byrum, Marco Dawson and Scott McCarron shot 66.

EUROPEAN PGA TOUR Maybank Championship: At Kuala

Lumpur, Malaysia, Bernd Wiesberger put on a clinic with his irons to lead Danny Willett by one stroke halfway through the tournament.

Wiesberger has been on a hot streak, and the Austrian came to life at Saujana club from the par-4 seventh hole to notch nine consecutive birdies of his 11 overall.

The three-time European Tour winner carded a 9-under 63 in tropical heat. Willett finished the second round with a 67.
