Lakewood Village Board votes to keep video gambling ban Turnberry Country Club management requested village reconsider gaming

How they voted

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

LAKEWOOD – The village will remain free of video gambling machines after the Village Board rejected an ordinance to overturn its ban. Board members voted Tuesday evening, 3-0 with two abstentions, against ending the last remaining ban still in force in McHenry County. About 50 people attended the meeting, with speakers during public comment overwhelmingly opposed to allowing the machines within village limits. The request to overturn the ban was made late last year by the new management of Turnberry Country Club, where the village meeting was held. Constituent opposition to the idea prompted the opposing votes from Trustees Paul Serwatka, Gene Furey and Bev Thomas. With Furey seconding, Serwatka successfully forced a vote against an attempt to table the ordinance so Turnberry, which at 9600 Turnberry Trail is in a residential area, could speak to residents and club members. Serwatka said that although he supports smaller government and less regulation of commerce, he voted for what his constituents wanted and said Turnberry’s location makes it a unique case. Both Serwatka and Furey said they received numerous calls and emails from residents opposed to allowing video gambling. “We’re not talking about a cafe in a strip mall – we’re

The Lakewood Village Board voted Tuesday evening, 3-0 with two abstentions, against overturning the village’s ban on video gambling. Voting no were Paul Serwatka, Gene Furey and Bev Thomas. Trustees Jeff Iden and Jason McMahon abstained.

“We’re not talking about a cafe in a strip mall – we’re talking about the heart of a residential community, and the people are very, very set against it.”

Paul Serwatka, Lakewood Village trustee talking about the heart of a residential community, and the people are very, very set against it,” Serwatka said. Lakewood was one of six local governments that banned video gambling under an opt-out in the 2009 state law that legalized it to finance a $31 billion capital plan, but five of them have since changed their minds and overturned their prohibitions after bar and restaurant owners complained that the bans put them at a competitive disadvantage. Establishments that serve alcohol, truck stops and fraternal and veterans organizations can have up to five of the machines under state law. The state gets 30 percent of the proceeds, 5 percent of which goes back to local governments. The remaining 70 percent is split between the business and the company that operates the machines. Turnberry and three of the four other businesses holding village liquor licenses would have been eligible for gaming permits had the ban been overturned, according to village records. Besides public outcry, Furey said video gambling would not be a good fit for the village’s character. As a former village treasurer, he added that the

small amount of revenue the machines would generate for village government would not justify lifting the ban. “I don’t think it really contributes anything at all to the village,” Furey said. Village President Erin Smith, who lives in Turnberry, opposed lifting the ban, but she was one of several who favored tabling the matter to a later date. She did not vote, but said she would have voted no to break a tie. Unlike other governments that lifted their bans at the request of multiple business owners, only Turnberry requested it, Smith said. Both the owners of Lou Malnati’s and the Lakewood Commons behind it said they have no interest in video gambling, Smith said. “There were no other businesses asking us for a video gambling ordinance,” Smith said. Another concern the Village Board had was that during the winter months in which the golf course is closed, the country club essentially would become a video gambling parlor. The proposed ordinance scuttled Tuesday explicitly prohibited such parlors, which are legal in some other local municipalities.

CALLING FOR SIGNIFICANT REFORM Gov. Rauner encourages ‘grand bargain’ as budget stalemate nears two years

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Gov. Bruce Rauner used his annual budget address Wednesday to encourage state lawmakers to reach a “grand bargain” budget deal, but said reforms that would accompany proposed tax increases need to be significant before he would sign it. Rauner thanked the Senate for continuing to work on a budget deal that would end an almost 2-year-old budget stalemate. The Republican governor has stayed out of the process so as “not to disrupt the momentum.” “First and foremost, the final result must be a good deal for taxpayers and job creators – a grand bargain that fully balances the budget once and for all, and really moves the needle when it comes to job creation,” Rauner said. However, he told lawmakers near the end of his 40-minute address that some of the reforms being kicked around in exchange for

massive tax increases are not adequate. Rauner said a permanent statewide property tax freeze like one that passed the House in the final days of session last month, not the temporary two-year freeze now being considered, is needed. Studies place Illinois’ property tax burden at the highest or second-highest of all 50 states. “The current Senate proposal calls for a permanent increase in the income tax rate, but offers only a temporary property tax freeze in exchange. That’s just not fair to hardworking taxpayers across the state of Illinois,” Rauner said. Rauner also said that although he is open to expanding the state sales tax to some services, similar to neighboring states, he opposes the current Senate proposal to raise taxes on food and drugs. “We cannot raise taxes on people’s groceries and medicine, just as we cannot tax people’s retirement incomes.

Huntley buys former Catty Corp. property By HANNAH PROKOP

News sent to your phone

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Huntley has bought the former Catty Corp. property as part of the village’s effort to revitalize the downtown area. The village closed on the property, which sits near the railroad tracks south of Main Street, on Feb. 9 for about $425,000, Huntley Village Manager Dave Johnson said. More than $5 million in overall improvements to Huntley’s downtown square were finished in 2016, including streetscape improvements, renovation of the square and the facade improvement program. “To have the building sitting right in the middle of the improvements we’ve been making is not an ideal situation,” Johnson said. At the next Committee of the Whole meeting, village trustees will discuss transferring about $150,000 from the capital projects fund to the downtown tax increment financing fund to use to maintain the site and begin preparation work for redevelopment of the proper-

The village of Huntley has bought the former H.D. Catty Corp. building, which was occupied by the flexible packaging company from about 1945 to 2006. ty, according to village documents. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. Thursday at Huntley Village Hall, 10987 Main St. Improvements would include removing a metal pole barn, boarding up windows and other access points to secure the main building, cleaning up

garbage at the property and conducting groundwater sampling to accommodate a request for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, according to village documents. Nancy Bacheller of the Huntley Area Public Library Local History Depart-

ment said the building, 11117 S. Church St., dates to before 1900. Businesses that have occupied it include Hezel’s Creamery, Cornell Brothers’ Milk Factory, Jelke Milk Co., Huntley Brewing Co., William Fencil Gasket Co. and H.D. Catty Corp., which was there from about 1945 to 2006 before moving to Harvard, Bacheller said. Although it has a long history in the village, the building does not have any historic designations, Johnson said. “The character of the building and its spot is an anchor downtown, and to the extent it can be saved – that’s something the village will consider moving forward,” Johnson said. While no future use has been determined, he said the village hopes to find a partner to redevelop the site. The 3-acre property has potential for multiple uses from commercial to residential, he said.

Noise-canceling headphones, 3D printers, wireless speakers, 4K TVs, remote control drones with aerial photography. There are some seriously amazing gadgets out there right now and one of them provides better comfort in the home. That’s right, the digital thermostats that are now available can save you money and allow you to feel perfectly comfortable the next time you turn on your 4K TV to watch the latest hit movie. These devices measure temperature without using any moving parts. They rely on thermistors or other semiconductor devices such as a resistance thermometer or a resistance temperature detector. One or more regular batteriesmustbeinstalledforadigitalthermostat to operate, but 24-volt AC circuits are used as a power source for what some call “power-stealing” digital thermostats.

“Thermostats aren’t what they used to be. They’re a solid investment in energy savings,” said Thomas Wangler Jr., owner and founder of Confident Aire, Inc. “If you install a smart thermostat, you’ll have flexibility and options that will pay for themselves in money saved on your utilities. These thermostats can learn your behavior, and adjust heating and cooling levels in accordance.” Digital thermostats can control your HVAC unit with either a relay or triac (a semiconductor device). Some come with a PID controller built in. This means the PID controller will make sure the temperature is 70 degrees at say 6:30 a.m. instead of just clicking on at 6:30 a.m. and warming up the house to 70 degrees.

Nelson Mandela’s grandson speaks to District 155 students By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Whether Nelson Mandela was talking to famous people from around the world or people who cleaned his home, he would treat each person the same way, his grandson, Ndaba Mandela, said to an auditorium full of students at Crystal Lake Central High School. Aside from being the first democratically elected South African president after years of oppression in his country, Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary who

was passionate about education and creating opportunities for citizens, his grandson said. “Do not judge a book by its cover,” Ndaba Mandela said. “But understand that each of us have the potential to do great things, regardless of the background that you come from.” On Wednesday, Ndaba Mandela visited Crystal Lake South and Crystal Lake Central high schools to speak with Community High School District 155 freshmen and sophomores enrolled in world studies, as well as groups of National Honor Society members and international studies teachers.

He shared his story of growing up with Nelson Mandela, the mission of his organization – Africa Rising Foundation – and Mandela Day. In 1982, Ndaba Mandela was born in a ghetto outside of Johannesburg, South Africa, during a time when apartheid segregated the country, he said. He met his grandfather for the first time when he was about 8 years old and Nelson Mandela was in jail. Ndaba Mandela later went to live with his grandfather so his parents could leave to receive an education.

even scared of that dream – otherwise you’re not dreaming big enough.” The message is something that stuck with Crystal Lake Central junior Maria Martin. “It’s always inspiring to hear about how no dream is too big,” Martin said. “Just kind of remembering to pursue what you’re interested in.” Crystal Lake Central junior Bazif Bala made an introductory video that was shown before Ndaba spoke to give the history on him and his grandfather. Bala said he has been interested in Nelson Mandela since his freshman year, when he wrote a paper on why Nelson Mandela was his hero for overcoming adversity. “I think the best thing that I learned from [Ndaba Mandela] is we don’t have to live in Africa to make a change,” Bala said. “He talked so much about how we can, right here in America, end the stigma.”

Later, when he traveled to London, people would ask Ndaba Mandela if South Africa is dangerous. “I realized that people from outside the continent have very limited knowledge of Africa, and the main knowledge they have is Africa is a place of war, poverty, disease,” Ndaba Mandela said. “Yes, those things exist in Africa, but that’s not all there is to Africa.” Amazing hospitality, beautiful islands and growing economics are all aspects of Africa, Ndaba Mandela said. To help contribute to the development of the continent, Ndaba started the Africa Rising Foundation and held the first Mandela Day in 2009. The foundation is dedicated to promoting a positive image of Africa around the world, and increasing growth in education, employment and international corporate alliances for profit and partnership. Mandela Day first was hosted July 18, 2009, in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s birthday. The goal of the day is to encourage people to do community service to honor his grandfather, who would have turned 100 years old in

CRYSTAL LAKE – Alcohol was a contributing factor in a two-vehicle crash that killed two Crystal Lake men Saturday, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office, the Crystal Lake Police Department and the Crystal Lake Fire Department responded at 7:35 p.m. Saturday to Walkup Road in unincorporated Nunda Township for a reported crash. A 2016 Toyota Tacoma, driven by a 28-year-old man, and a 2010 Buick Lacrosse, driven by a 68-year-old man, collided in the southbound lane of traffic on Walkup Road, deputies said. The 68-year-old man was pronounced dead after the crash, and the 28-yearold man died later. The two were the sole occupants of their vehicles. On Wednesday, the McHenry County Coroner’s Office identified the 68-year-old man as Lawrence T. Madigan. An autopsy conducted Monday revealed he died from blunt force injuries to the chest and head, according

hprokop@shawmedia.com A former Lake County coroner who was a central figure in the case involving disgraced Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz was indicted on five counts of perjury Wednesday. Thomas Rudd was indicted on the charges after a one-year investigation from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of Professional Standards, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. “Each of the five counts alleged that the defendant made knowing false statements on general election petitions for the Democratic primary that was filed in 2015,” said Special Prosecutor Brian Towne of the Illinois Appellate Prosecutor’s Office. Candidates for elected offices are required to collect a certain number of signatures

Thomas Rudd

he said. Lake County Undersheriff Ray Rose said that in December 2015, it was questioned whether Rudd’s petitions all were signed by the people who circulated them. As a result, Rudd withdrew from the race for Lake County coroner, rather than go through an election board hearing, Rose said. After that, Rose said a number of residents came forward with claims that the petitions were not signed by the right people. The investigation is ongoing, Rose said, and it potentially will expand to people beyond Rudd.

An independent prosecutor took the case instead of the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office to avoid potential conflicts of interest, Rose said. Rudd’s charges, all Class 3 felonies, could result in up to five years in prison, Towne said. A $150,000 arrest warrant was issued for Rudd, and Rose said his attorney has agreed to surrender him Thursday morning at bond court. Authorities leading the investigation into the death of Gliniewicz, which was determined to be a suicide, condemned Rudd after he released to the media what they said was sensitive information involving the case. Rudd had told the Northwest Herald he was leaning toward homicide as the manner of Gliniewicz’s death, but he said he could not make an official determination until he received more information from investigators.

for growing peyote By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced an Island Lake man to one year of probation after he admitted to manufacturing peyote. Anthony Vangelista pleaded guilty to an amended charge of unlawfully manufacturing a controlled substance, a Class 3 felony. The felony charge is punishable by up to five years in prison. Judge Sharon Prather accepted the plea agreement. In addition to probation, Vangelista was Anthony ordered to pay a $750 fine and complete drug Vangelista counseling as recommended. Vangelista was arrested and charged in 2014 with manufacturing a controlled substance, a Class X felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, after sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant at his residence and found peyote plants, multiple bags of heroin, drug paraphernalia, a firearm and ammunition. The street value of the estimated 228 grams of seized peyote was about $1,000, the sheriff’s office has said.

Pam Althoff, State senator, R-McHenry decreased once the economy grows and revenues expand, rather than surpluses fueling more government spending. McHenry County’s lawmakers in Springfield liked what Rauner had to say, but some have been wary of the proposed grand bargain. Sen. Dan McConchie, R-Hawthorn Woods, said he was encouraged by Rauner’s calls to fully fund education, reform the state’s pension system and enact job-friendly reforms. McConchie has stated that he opposes raising the income tax and that he finds the proposed reforms too lackluster in exchange for the tax increases being proposed. “I believe Gov. Rauner showed real leadership today and presented a clear plan to the General Assembly that benefits taxpayers and emphasizes the need for state government to live within its means,” McConchie said. “Under the governor’s guidance and vision, Illinois can become a competitive state.” Sen.

LAKEMOOR – A two-vehicle crash at Routes 120 and 12 in Lakemoor sent one person to the hospital Wednesday, a fire official said. About 4:35 p.m., Wauconda Fire District personnel responded to the intersection for a crash involving two Jeep Cherokees, fire district Lt. Devin Mueller said. One driver was treated at the scene and released, and the other was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Mueller said. No passengers were in either vehicle. Mueller said he did not know what caused the crash, or which direction the vehicles were traveling. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and were towed, he said. Road closures because of the crash caused traffic backups at the intersection, Mueller said. The Fox Lake Fire Protection District and Lakemoor police also responded, Mueller said. Lakemoor police could not immediately be reached for information. – Hannah Prokop

a way to balance the budget without hurting lower-income families and fixed-income seniors,” Rauner said. Taxing retirement income is not in the current Senate plan, but has been floated by some outside groups pushing for tax hikes to help reach a balanced budget and ending the nation’s longest state budget stalemate since World War II. The Senate proposal – first developed by Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, and Minority Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont – seeks to end the budget impasse. It began in 2015 when Rauner vetoed a budget, with a deficit of almost $4 billion, submitted by the Democratic-dominated General Assembly. It proposes to raise the state income tax from 3.75 percent to 4.99 percent for people filing individually, or just less than the 5 percent rate that Illinois taxpayers paid for four years until it substantially expired in 2015. The corporate tax rate would increase from 5.25 percent to 7 percent, which doesn’t include the 2.5 percent replacement tax. In his address, Rauner said the Senate plan should include a firm cap on spending to keep any balanced budget from lapsing back into deficit. He also said that the income tax rate should be

Dan “A balanced budMcConchie get deal cannot be just about raising taxes. That doesn’t work. We need structural changes to move our state forward on a path to prosperity,” Althoff said. “The time is now. I call on my colDavid leagues to get it done.” McSweeney State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, had hoped that Rauner would come out strongly against what he calls a “disastrous” tax increase plan. McSweeney has stated that he will not support any budget deal that includes tax increases. However, McSweeney getting a chance to vote on the plan would require it to pass the Senate, and House Speaker Michael Madigan agreeing to bring it to the House floor. An attempt to get the bills passed last week was not successful. “I hope that General Assembly Republicans don’t support the Senate tax plan and become tax collectors for the Chicago Democratic machine,” McSweeney said.

Crystal Lake drug dealer gets 10 years

Prosecutors: 31-year-old stole guns, cash from home, broke into Clasen’s Tavern By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to drug and burglary charges. Harold T. Caley, 31, pleaded guilty last Friday to unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class X felony; residential burglary, a Class 2 felony; and burglary, a Class 2 felony. In exchange for pleading guilty, Caley was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the drug and residential burglary charge and seven years in prison on the burglary charge. The sentences will be served concurrently, and he will be required to pay restitution. McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer accepted the plea agreement.

Caley was arrested in July after police searched his hotel room at the Quality Inn in Woodstock and found more than 100 grams of cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis and more than 1,000 prescription pills. Caley admitted to officers he had been selling drugs, prosecutors said. Caley also was charged for committing two burglaries. In July, prosecutors said Caley broke into a home on Hickory Drive in Crystal Lake and took several thousand dollars and firearms. In August, Caley unlawfully entered Clasen’s Tavern in Union, damaged property and took money. His codefendant in the Union burglary, Andrew C. Hintt of Woodstock, will appear in court Thursday.

Rendezvous Bistro reopens, reimagined as full-on bar and small plate restaurant By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Rendezvous Bistro is back, reinspired under new management. Megan and T.J. Liebetrau of Woodstock have turned the former coffee house, restaurant and bar into a full-on bar and small plate restaurant. The bistro is now open exclusively in the evenings and offers a variety of wines, beers and spirits along with soups, salads, desserts and small plates such as hummus and vegetables, vegetable flatbread, cheese and fruit plates, and pork-belly buns. Rendezvous Bistro is at 2400 Lake Shore Drive in Woodstock off Route 14 close to McHenry County College. The location gets a lot of traffic but may be a challenge because it is out of the way for many, Megan Liebetrau said. “It’s a matter of getting people out there to remember it’s an option,” she

said. “We will have some work to do to get them out that way.” The Liebetraus have owned and operated local catering company Now We’re Cookin’ for the past four years, and the decision to open a restaurant seemed like a natural transition, Megan Liebetrau said. “I’ve always been in the restaurant business,” she said, “and my husband and I were born and raised in Woodstock, so this opportunity kind of fell into our laps, and it was too hard to pass up.” The restaurant held a quiet grand opening recently and plans to continue to grow its capacity and begin offering various events such as “Paint and Sip” classes. “There’s a back room that I hope to convert into a private space,” Megan Liebetrau said. “I’m hoping to have it finished in the next month or so. We want a nice, cozy atmosphere where people can come relax and have a good time with friends.”

Home State Bank recommends integrating financial plan with overall estate plan SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Your estate plan documents how you want your assets to be distributed in the event of your death. It controls your financial assets, which may include a 401K account, bank accounts, Certificates of Deposit, and IRAs. It also states who should receive your property, such as your home, jewelry, or anything with monetary or emotional value. It’s important to have an estate plan that will carry out your wishes after you die. A financial plan takes into account your current income, your future expected income, the value of the assets you own, investments, and how you plan to withdraw your savings over time. It’s very important to have your financial plan be a part of your overall estate plan, to prevent misunderstandings and errors when it comes time to disburse your assets.

One major step that must be taken, and reviewed periodically as your assets, health, and futureplanschange,istoupdatethebeneficiaries on all of your financial accounts. When you set up a 401K through your company, or establish life insurance or an IRA, you will fill out a form that names the beneficiaries of these assets in the case of your death. Those beneficiaries you name will be the ones to inherit those assets, even if you name someone else in your Trust or Will as the heir to those assets. The beneficiary form overrides who is named in your Trust or Will. Any situation such as retirement, remarriage, or changes in the lives of your beneficiaries can have a major impact on your estate plan. To reviewordevelopyourfinancialplantomakesure it incorporates your estate planning goals, contact Tom Tearney, VP & Senior Trust Officer at Home State Bank’s Trust & Wealth Management Department in Crystal Lake.

CARY – By the end of the summer, Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academy plans to open its new facility in Cary. The early childhood education center will mirror the academy in Crystal Lake, said Ed Kulach, who owns both businesses with his wife, Andrea Kulach. “We have waiting lists at the one in Crystal Lake,” Ed Kulach said. “We thought Cary would be a good second location.” Groundbreaking for the Cary location, 2250 Crystal Lake Road, will be at 10 a.m. Friday. The site is across from Deer Path Elementary School and borders the McHenry County Conservation District’s land. The facility will be about 18,000 square feet and have 14 classrooms and four age-appropriate playgrounds, Ed Kulach said.

Exelon rivals sue to block billions in subsidies The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Competitors of Chicago-based Exelon Corp. filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday opposing legislation that provides billions of dollars in subsidies to the power giant. The legislation approved in December provides as much as $235 million a year to Exelon to keep unprofitable nuclear plants running in Clinton and the Quad Cities. More than 4 million customers of power-distributing subsidiaries ComEd and Ameren will pay more to finance the plan. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago challenges the law on

constitutional grounds. Crain’s Chicago Business reported that the competitors, including Houston-based Dynegy, allege the subsidies undermine wholesale power markets that are the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “It will profoundly disrupt the FERC-approved energy market auction structure and result in the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars a year of ratepayer funds to Exelon at the expense of other generators that would have been economically viable without discriminatory subsidies,” the lawsuit stated.

Exelon contends the legislation provides it similar mechanisms that have aided renewable energy development for years. “Exelon opposes misguided and parochial efforts to block state lawmakers from taking legitimate steps to protect the environment and promote sound economic policies for their citizens,” Exelon said in a statement Tuesday. Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition is slamming the lawsuit, saying the filers want to shackle Illinoisans to higher costs and dangerous fuels of the past. Consumer groups, including the nonprofit BEST Coalition, argue the plants aren’t needed and keeping them

18K call in to Rep. Peter Roskam’s phone town hall

WHEATON – About 18,000 callers participated in a telephone town hall hosted by U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, a suburban Chicago Republican who has been criticized for canceling smaller in-person meetings and declining debates. The Chicago Tribune reported that some callers challenged the six-term congressman for not participating in traditional town halls. Roskam abruptly canceled a smaller meeting with constituents this month to hear concerns about repealing the Affordable Care Act. Protesters have since shown up to his events. The League of Women Voters also has invited him to debates and town halls, which he has declined. Roskam said during Monday’s call that the traditional town hall format isn’t productive and frustrates participants. Republicans elsewhere have encountered angry constituents at town halls, particularly with concerns about repealing former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Some oppose campus visit of ex-Trump campaign manager

CHICAGO – Some University of Chicago students and faculty are vowing to protest the appearance of a former manager of President Donald Trump’s run for the White House. Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to

open will cost ratepayers more anyway. The plan, to go into effect in June, would cost 3.1 million northern Illinois customers of Exelon’s power-distributing subsidiary, ComEd, an average of 25 cents more a month during the life of the plan. In central and southern Illinois, Ameren’s 1.2 million customers would pay an additional 12 cents or less monthly, the company said. Both companies said the increase could be less because of rate caps that Gov. Bruce Rauner, who has argued repeatedly in favor of saving jobs, insisted on in return for his support, lawmakers said.

participate Wednesday in a seminar presented by the university’s Institute of Politics. The session aims to explore Lewandowski’s time with the Trump campaign, the president’s rise and the future of his presidency. Four groups representing students and faculty delivered a letter Monday to institute director David Axelrod opposing Lewandowski’s appearance. Assistant philosophy professor Anton Ford said the aim of opponents of Lewandowski’s appearance is not to suppress speech but to prevent certain topics and ideas from being normalized. Axelrod, an adviser to former President Barack Obama, said he understands the opposition’s viewpoint. However, he said an institute that promotes democracy can’t and won’t shut off discussion and debate.

Jesse White backs school bus seat belt mandate

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois secretary of state is backing a measure that would require seat belts on school buses. Jesse White announced his support for the proposal Tuesday. It would mandate all public school buses come equipped with three-point seat belts like those found in cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said three-point belts protect passengers better than lap belts by spreading sudden body movement caused by a crash over the chest, waist and shoulders. The administration endorsed seat belts on school buses in 2015. Six other states have passed laws requiring them. Democratic Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie is sponsoring the measure. He said it’s time to make sure children are just as safe on school buses as they are in a parent’s car.

Video captured shooting that killed Chicago toddler

CHICAGO – Police are examining dramatic video that captured a shooting that killed a toddler and a man authorities said was the intended target. The video, streamed live on Facebook, was taken from inside a car driven by a young woman who was wounded in the shooting. The man and 2-year-old Lavontay White also were in the car. The woman and man can be seen listening to rap music before more than a dozen shots ring out. Screaming is heard as the footage becomes jumbled but shows the woman exiting the car and running toward a house. The video goes to black, but the audio continues and people can be heard yelling, “Oh my God,” ‘’I can’t breathe,” and “Please, no, no.” Police suspect the 26-year-old man, identified Wednesday by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as Lazarec Collins, was the target of a gang hit. The man was Lavontay’s uncle and a documented gang member with an extensive criminal history. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Collins was convicted of felony charges of burglary and armed robbery and was released on parole last June. Police have confirmed the authenticity of the video, and it is part of their investigation, spokesman Frank Giancamilli said. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday. He said the woman, who is pregnant, was shot in the abdomen. Both she and the fetus were expected to survive. Lavontay was among at least three children shot and killed in Chicago in recent days.

In recent years, Puzder withdraws from labor secretary nomination construction crews patched WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s nominee for labor secretary abruptly withdrew his nomination Wednesday after Senate Republicans balked at supporting him, in part over taxes he belatedly paid on a former housekeeper not authorized to work in the U.S. Fast-food executive Andrew Puzder said in a statement that he was “honored to have been considered by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Labor.” Democrats and their allies rejoiced over Puzder’s withdrawal, saying his corporate background and opposition to such proposals as a big hike in the minimum wage made him an unfit advocate for American workers at the top of an agency charged with enforcing protections.

Trump admin looks to regroup after exits By JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Less than a month into his tenure, Donald Trump’s White House is beset by a crush of crises. Divisions, dysfunction and high-profile exits have left the young administration nearly paralyzed and allies wondering how it will reboot. The bold policy moves that marked Trump’s first days in office have slowed to a crawl, a tacit admission that he and his team had not thoroughly prepared an agenda. Nearly a week after the administration’s travel ban was struck down by a federal court, the White House still is struggling to regroup and outline its next move on that signature issue. It’s been six days since Trump – who promised unprecedented levels of immediate action – has announced a major new policy directive or legislative plan. His team is riven by division and plagued by distractions. This week alone, controversy has forced out both his top national security aide and his pick for labor secretary. “Another day in paradise,” Trump quipped Wednesday after his meeting with retailers was interrupted by reporters’ questions about links between his campaign staff and Russian officials. Fellow Republicans have begun voicing their frustration and open anxiety that the Trump White House will derail their high hopes for legislative action. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota demanded Wednesday that the White House “get past the launch stage.”

“There are things we want to get done here, and we want to have a clear-eyed focus on our agenda, and this constant disruption and drumbeat with these questions that keep being raised is a distraction,” Thune said. Sen. John McCain of Arizona blasted the White House’s approach to national security as “dysfunctional,” asking: “Who is in charge? I don’t know of anyone outside of the White House who knows.” Such criticism from allies is rare during what is often viewed as a honeymoon period for a new president. But Trump, an outsider who campaigned almost as much against his party as for it, has only a tiny reservoir of good will to protect him. His administration has made uneven attempts to work closely with lawmakers and its own agencies. Officials have begun trying to change some tactics, and some scenery, with the hope of steadying the ship. The White House announced Wednesday that Trump, who has often mentioned how much he loves adoring crowds and affirmation from his supporters, would hold a campaign-style rally in Florida on Saturday, the first of his term. The event, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer, was being “run by the campaign” and it is listed on Trump’s largely dormant 2016 campaign website. No other details were offered. To be sure, pinballing from one crisis to the next is not unprecedented, particularly for a White House still finding its footing. But the disruptions that have swirled around Trump achieved hurricane force early and have not let up.

Pentagon boss: Increase military spending Defense secretary gives ultimatum to fellow members of NATO By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press

BRUSSELS – In an ultimatum to America’s allies, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told fellow NATO members Wednesday to increase military spending by year’s end or risk seeing the U.S. curtail its defense support – a stark threat given Europe’s deep unease already over U.S.-Russian relations. Echoing President Donald Trump’s demands for NATO countries to assume greater self-defense responsibility, Mattis said Washington will “mod-

erate its commitment” to the alliance if countries fail to fall in line. He didn’t offer details, but the pressure is sure to be felt, particularly by governments in Europe’s eastern reaches that feel threatened by Russian expansionism. Trump’s Russia policy remains a mystery for many of America’s closest international partners. As a candidate, the Republican president steered clear of criticizing Moscow for its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and repeatedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he wanted a new era of cooperation between the former Cold War foes. But that possibility grew murkier this week as Trump fired his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, over the retired Army lieutenant general’s communications with Russia before Trump took office. The departure of

Flynn, who also promoted the idea of working with Moscow, has added to speculation about how the U.S.-Russian relationship might evolve. Amid the uncertainty from Washington, the Kremlin may be testing the West’s resolve. A U.S. defense official said this week that Russia has deployed a cruise missile in violation of a Cold War-era nuclear arms control treaty. And violence has sporadically reignited in eastern Ukraine, where the U.S. and its partners say Moscow continues to back a separatist insurgency. “No longer can the American taxpayer carry a disproportionate share of the defense of Western values,” Mattis told the alliance’s 27 other defense ministers, according to a text of his remarks. “Americans cannot care more for your children’s future security

than you do.” The entire alliance seemed to hang on Mattis’ every word Wednesday. Officials crowded around TVs at the NATO meeting in Brussels to watch the retired general’s initial appearance with Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. Defense ministers clustered around Mattis as he entered the meeting room. Citing danger from Russia, Mattis told the closed meeting of ministers they must adopt a plan this year that sets dates for governments to meet a military funding goal of 2 percent of gross domestic product. He called the funding increase a “fair demand” based on the “political reality” in Washington, an apparent reference to Trump’s past criticism of NATO as “obsolete” and his much-touted “’America First” mantra.

Trump charts Mideast course, excluding separate Palestine By VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Charting a striking new course for the Middle East, President Donald Trump on Wednesday withheld clear support for an independent Palestine and declared he could endorse a one-nation solution to the long and deep dispute between Palestinians and Israel. The American president, signaling a new era of comity between the U.S. and Israel after rocky relations under President Barack Obama, said he was more interested in an agreement that leads to peace than in any particular path to get there. Standing beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump broke not only with recent U.S. presidents but also distanced the U.S. from the prevailing position of much of the world. While Trump urged Netanyahu to “hold off” on Jewish settlement construction in territory the Palestinians claim for their future state, he offered unwavering support for Israel, a pledge he appeared to substantiate with his vague comments about the shape of any agreement. While it once appeared that a twostate solution was the “easier of the two” options for the Palestinians and Israel, Trump said he’d be open to alternatives. “I’m looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like,” he told reporters. “I can live with either one.” The U.S. has formally backed the two-state solution as official policy since 2002, when President George W.

President Donald Trump listens as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during their joint news conference Wednesday in the East Room of the White House. Bush said in the White House Rose Garden that his vision was “two states, living side by side in peace and security.” In practice, the U.S. already had embraced the policy informally. President Bill Clinton, who oversaw the Oslo Accords in the 1990s that were envisioned as a steppingstone to Palestinian statehood, said before leaving office that resolution to the conflict required a viable Palestinian state. Separately on Wednesday, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called on Netanyahu to end settlement building and expressed “willingness to resume a credible peace process.” Also on

Wednesday, CIA chief Mike Pompeo secretly held talks in the West Bank with Abbas, the first high-level meeting between the Palestinian leader and a Trump administration official, senior Palestinian officials said. The White House wouldn’t comment on the meeting All serious peace negotiations in recent decades have assumed the emergence of an independent Palestine. The alternatives appear to offer dimmer prospects for peace, given Palestinian demands for statehood. Dozens of countries, including the U.S., reaffirmed their support for a two-state accord at an international

conference in Paris last month, before Trump’s inauguration. In Cairo on Wednesday, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: “There is no Plan B to the situation between Palestinians and Israelis but a two-state solution. ... Everything must be done to preserve that possibility.” At one point Wednesday, Trump noted the need for compromise in achieving any Mideast peace. Netanyahu interjected: “Both sides.” On terrorism and other matters, there appeared little daylight between the leaders. Echoing language used by Trump over a need to combat “radical Islamic extremism,” Netanyahu said that for peace to be sustainable, two “prerequisites” must be met: “Recognition of the Jewish state and Israel’s security needs west of the Jordan” River. While a two-state solution would involve Israel ceding occupied territory that is strategically and religiously significant, many in the country believe a single binational state would be even more difficult to maintain. It would mean granting millions of Palestinians citizenship and voting rights, threatening Israel’s Jewish majority and its Jewish character. Trump’s campaign platform made no mention of a Palestinian state, and his inner circle included allies of the West Bank settler movement. A delegation of settlement leaders was invited to Trump’s inauguration. But after weeks of dancing around the issue of expanded Israeli settlement construction, Trump asked Netanyahu to “hold back on settlements for a bit.”

WASHINGTON – Congress on Wednesday sent President Donald Trump legislation blocking an Obamaera rule designed to keep guns out of the hands of certain mentally disabled people. On a vote of 57-43, the Senate backed the resolution, just one of several early steps by the Republican-led Congress to undo regulations implemented by former President Barack Obama. The House had passed the measure earlier this year. The White House has signaled Trump will sign the legislation. The Obama rule would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm. It was crafted as part of Obama’s efforts to strengthen the federal background check system in the wake of the 2012 massacre of 20 young students and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Adam Lanza, a 20-year-old man with a variety of impairments, including Asperger’s syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder, shot and killed his mother at their home, then went to school where he killed the students, adults and himself. He used his moth-

House, the GOP has moved aggressively on several fronts to rescind some of the Obama administration’s final regulations on the environment, financial reporting and now guns. Under an expedited process established through the Congressional Review Act, a regulation is made invalid when a simple majority of both chambers pass a joint resolution of disapproval and the president signs it. The House also voted to repeal three Labor Department regulations Wednesday, including a rule that established when states could require drug testing for certain laid-off workers seeking unemployment insurance. Critics seeking the repeal said the department crafted the regulation so narrowly that it undermined congressional intent to give states more leeway to use drug testing in their unemployment insurance programs. On the gun rule, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, spearheaded the repeal effort, saying the regulation unfairly stigmatizes the disabled and infringes on their constitutional right to bear arms. He said that the mental disorders covered through the regulation are filled with “vague characteristics that do not fit into the federal mentally defective standard” prohibiting someone from buying or owning a gun.

ANOTHER VIEW

Voter apathy threatens democracy One good thing that has come from President Donald Trump’s persistent false claims about widespread voter fraud in America is the bipartisan rebuke from state elections officials across the country. The real electoral problem in this nation isn’t voter fraud, but poor voter participation, a trend that threatens our democracy. In New York, the state where both major party candidates in the presidential race resided, a little more than 57 percent of eligible voters cast ballots Nov. 8. Some states had significantly better turnout – states that make it easier to register and vote. For example, in New Hampshire, 69.1 percent of those eligible voted. In Minnesota, it was 74.8 percent, the highest state turnout for the presidential election of 2016, according to the University of Florida’s United States Elections Project. Many reasons may explain why Minnesotans turn out in larger numbers, but two key differences between its voting laws and New York’s were undoubtedly major factors. Minnesota allows both registration at the polls on Election Day and permits voting early by mail. New York allows absentee balloting by mail, but only if you state a specific excuse, such as being physically unable to go to the polls on Election Day because of poor health or out-of-town travel. New York’s multiple primaries and local elections schedule is another factor. They’re confusing and diminish public participation. Last year, depending on where you lived, you could have gone to the polls six different times. Among those proposing sensible changes to remove many of the hurdles that discourage voting are state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and legislators from both major political parties. The suggestions include: consolidating national and state primaries into one day; establishing an automatic registration system; allowing registration on Election Day; later deadlines for switching party enrollment before a primary; an early voting system with “no excuse” absentee balloting; and using apps and better web software to expedite and simplify registration. Republicans who control the state Senate, however, have balked at making voting easier, worried, it seems, that it will bring out more minorities, who historically have supported Democrat candidates. That’s no excuse. Encouraging greater participation in elections is the democratic thing to do – the one with a small “d,” in which we all have a stake. – Albany Times-Union

AMENDMENT

Where does NSA go from here? The resignation of Michael Flynn as national security adviser offers President Donald Trump an opportunity to right what has been a dysfunctional policymaking apparatus. Having previously been dismissed from a post at the Defense Intelligence Agency for erratic management, Flynn failed to prepare Trump for conversations with foreign leaders, inadequately vetted executive orders and staffed key positions with military cronies even before he lied to the media and vice president about the content of his conversations with the Russian ambassador. His self-destruction in a post that demands the steadiest of hands was widely anticipated; the only surprise was that it took just 24 days. It’s not unusual for an incoming national security adviser to speak with foreign ambassadors, and it’s not entirely clear that what Flynn said to Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak in late December was improper. But Flynn clearly misled The Post, Vice President Mike Pence and other senior officials when he said he did not discuss U.S. sanctions against Russia with Kislyak. He did so in the context of as-yet-unresolved questions about Russia’s interference in the presidential election and

other possible contacts between the regime of Vladimir Putin and the Trump campaign. The affair underlines the urgency of an impartial investigation into those matters by the Justice Department, Congress or an independent commission and the full disclosure of the results to the public. The White House’s handling of Flynn’s deception also raises concerns. According to The Post, the acting attorney general told the White House counsel late last month about Flynn’s false statements and warned they could expose him to Russian blackmail. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that Trump was informed “immediately” afterward, but the White House did not correct the false public statements about the Flynn-Kislyak call, and Trump told reporters last Friday that he was unaware of the issue. At a minimum, the episode further undermines the credibility of an administration that has repeatedly disseminated untruths. Trump could begin to undo the damage by appointing a new national security adviser prepared for the job’s most essential work, which is serving as an honest broker in internal debates over questions of war, foreign policy and intelligence. The National

Security Council chief should ensure that the unschooled Trump is fully briefed for encounters with foreign leaders and that policy steps – whether a response to a North Korean missile launch or a new strategy for fighting the Islamic State – are fully studied and discussed in an orderly way before a presidential decision is made. The past two weeks have seen some welcome corrections by Trump to what looked like potentially rash departures from previous U.S. policies. He calmed Asian leaders by accepting the one-China principle and strongly backing the U.S. alliance with Japan, and he retreated from suggestions that the U.S. Embassy in Israel would be swiftly relocated to Jerusalem. His U.N. envoy affirmed that sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Crimea would remain in place. However, Trump still has some fixes to make – above all in U.S. relations with NATO allies, where signals from Cabinet secretaries and the White House have been conflicting, and in his dangerously appeasing stance toward Putin. A competent national security operation may not correct the president’s mistaken convictions, but it should, at least, provide him with better intelligence and options.

sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election. The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation. “It is not unusual for American businessmen to come in contact with foreign intelligence officials, sometimes unwittingly, in countries like Russia and Ukraine, where the spy services are deeply embedded in society. “It is also unclear whether the conversations had anything to do with Mr. Trump himself.” From CNN: “Officials emphasized that communications between campaign staff and representatives of foreign governments are not unusual. “Investigators have not reached a judgment on the intent of those conversations. “These officials cautioned the Russians could have been exaggerating their access. “The communications were gathered as part of routine U.S. intelligence collection and not because people close to Trump were being targeted.”

The bottom line is there is no proof the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the presidential election. Absent such proof, the significance of communication between the campaign and Russian intelligence officials is unclear. It is worth remembering that just a few weeks ago, Times public editor Liz Spayd wrote that the newspaper should have been more aggressive in its reporting on Trump and Russia before the election. She wrote: “The idea that you only publish once every piece of information is in and fully vetted is a false construct. “If you know the FBI is investigating, say, a presidential candidate, using significant resources and with explosive consequences, that should be enough to write. Not a ‘gotcha’ story that asserts unsubstantiated facts. But a piece that describes the nature of the investigations, the unexplained but damning leads, with emphasis on what is known and what isn’t.” The Times appears to have taken Spayd’s critique to heart.

There’s very little good news for President Donald Trump these days. His White House is dealing with not one but two explosive reports that his aides and associates were in contact with Russian intelligence officials during the campaign. But there is one bright spot for Trump: Both of the stories use zero on-the-record sources to back up their claims. CNN, which produced one of the reports, cited “multiple current and former intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials.” The New York Times, which published the other, was a bit more specific: “four current and former American officials.” Predictably, the use of anonymous sources opened the door for Trump to call the reports “nonsense” and “fake news,” although he might have inadvertently lent credence to the stories by tweeting: “Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @ washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?). Just like Russia.”

“The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great! “This Russian connection nonsense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.” Which is it? Is the media making up fake nonsense? Or is the intelligence community leaking real information? Both things can’t be true. Unnamed sources often are critical contributors to important news reports and Trump has no problem with them, when he finds their disclosures helpful. But anonymity invariably promotes skepticism about sources’ motives. The Times wrote “all of the current and former officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the continuing investigation is classified.” That makes sense; it also makes sense to wonder whether these officials have political agendas and to consider what they might not be revealing. Although the Times and CNN relied exclusively on unnamed sources, both loaded up their reports with caveats. From The New York Times: “The intelligence agencies then

Land that car deal

Discounts abound on out-of-fashion sedans

By TOM KRISHER

munds.com, list publicly available discounts called incentives. Say you decide on a midsize car. Sales of the Nissan Altima were off nearly 15 percent in January, so incentives are likely. On its website, Nissan was offering $4,550 off a nicely equipped $25,460 Altima Midnight edition. That’s nearly 18 percent off the sticker without haggling! There often are combinations of zero percent financing and cash back. According to Wards Automotive, midsize cars with the biggest inventories include the Chevrolet Malibu, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata and Ford Fusion – some of the top-selling cars in the U.S.

The Associated Press DETROIT – If you do your homework, now is the time to practically steal a new sedan from your car dealer. For more than a year, sales of cars have been tanking because Americans have gone nuts over SUVs and trucks. As stockpiles of sedans such as the Chevrolet Malibu and Chrysler 200 stretch across car lots, automakers are forced to offer big discounts to move them. There are a few steps to finding the best bargain, but it boils down to this: Figure out which cars aren’t selling, research discounts and don’t buy until the end of the month when dealers are more desperate to sell. Brad Korner, general manager of AIS Rebate, an Ann Arbor, Michigan, firm that follows the labyrinth of automaker discounts, equates buying a car cheap with buying discounted baked goods. To get the good deal, you have to really look. “You go into the store and the day-old bakery stuff is on a different shelf,” he said. Be wary of offers that seem too good to be true, such as $69 a month payments. Earl Stewart, a North Palm Beach, Florida, Toyota dealer who is critical of other dealers’ sales tactics, advises people to ignore dealer advertising. “Probably 99 percent of it is misleading,” he said. The low-price deals often are on stripped-down models that the dealer may not even have. They also can include hefty down payments. But armed with the right information, you can navigate the new car sales maze and get 20 percent or more off a car’s sticker price.

Third: Visit dealers

During the first two weeks of the month, go to a few dealers. Confirm the incentives you found online – then ask for more. Often automakers add deals by region, or they offer rebates if you own a competitor’s model or have one of their models. There also are other discounts for being an AAA member, serving in the military or being a recent college graduate. Most sales people, when they find out you’ve done your homework, will be honest and give you a good price, Korner AP photo said. Michelle Krebs, an analyst for Autotrader.com, Earl Stewart, owner of a Toyota dealership, talks to a said at this point, don’t mention a trade-in. Work that customer Friday at his business in North Palm Beach, into the deal later. Don’t agree to buy at this time.

Fla. Stewart advises people to ignore dealer advertising. Fourth: Pick a dealer, go back later “Probably 99 percent of it is misleading,” he said.

You’ll get an even better price by waiting until the last few days of a month or quarter. First, dealers offer sales people bonuses to meet monthly sales goals. If they are close to the bonus, they’ll be more willing to deal. Also, dealers get what are called “stair-step” incentives from automakers for hitting sales goals. It’s First: Pick a target, find slow sellers big money, so dealers close to their targets are more For more than a year, many compact, midsize and willing to bargain. large cars, gas-electric hybrids, and many lower-lev- Second: Look for discounts online The bottom line is if you go through these steps and Many websites, including those from the auto you’re a tough negotiator, you can get a well-equipped el luxury cars haven’t sold well.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2017

NEW YORK – Kate Upton is so nice she’s made the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover thrice. Upton has become only the fourth woman to grace the cover three times.

Santana says praise for ‘Love Actually’ update to air Adele wasn’t dig at Beyonce on ‘Red Nose Day Special’

Grammy producer apologizes for Metallica, Caesar glitches LOS ANGELES – The longtime producer of the Grammy Awards is offering apologies to Metallica and Shirley Caesar after a technical glitch and a misprint marred their inclusion on the show. The mic for Metallica’s James Hetfield wasn’t initially working when the band took the stage to perform with Lady Gaga, and Caesar, a lifetime achievement award honoree, was misidentified during the televised ceremony when a photo of another gospel star, CeCe Winans, was shown instead of her during a montage clip. “These kinds of things are horrible when they happen,” Ken Ehrlich said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. “That’s one of the risks of live television.” The Metallica glitch, for which the band has blamed a dead microphone, resulted in Hetfield making a decision to improvise and use Lady Gaga’s mic. Ehrlich has heard a different story from his crew about the problem. “My guys say that the mic cable was connected,” he said. “My guys’ theory was that ... one of the extras (on stage) accidentally kicked out the cable that went to the mic.” Still, the end result was Hetfield’s singing couldn’t be heard for the first part of the performance. “Obviously, we apologize to the band,” Ehrlich said, calling the mishap “awful.” In the case of Caesar, the gospel legend, Ehrlich had a better understanding of what happened. When preparing for a clip to run of her for the show, footage of a classic Caesar, Winans and Whitney Houston performance was used, and Winans was mistakenly shown.

Carlos Santana said he was only trying to congratulate Adele on her big night at the Grammys when he said Beyonce “is very beautiful to look at” but “not a singer, singer.” Santana told the Australian Associated Press that Adele can “sing, sing.” He said Adele “doesn’t bring all the dancers and props, she can just stand there and she just stood there and sang the song and that’s it, and this is why she wins.” Santana clarified his stance Tuesday on Facebook, writing that his “intent was to congratulate Adele” and that his comment about Beyonce “was regretfully taken out of context.” He added that he has “the utmost respect” for Beyonce.

Man claims Justin Bieber punched him in June

NEW YORK – Whatever happened to the characters from “Love Actually”?

Cast members revisiting their roles from the film include Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy and Rowan Atkinson. The 10-minute “special sketch” is from Curtis, who promises it will be “very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day.”

Exercises key to preventing falls Dear Doctor: I’m just about to turn 60, which – from what I’ve read – is when balance begins to become an issue. What can I do to stay steady on my feet? Dear Reader: Although good balance is important to all of us who face the world on two legs, it’s particularly vital to our well-being as we age. Unlike a child, who’s likely to bounce right back up and laugh, or an adult, who comes away with a bump or a bruise, a fall for a senior citizen is a serious health risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-fourth of people over 65 have a fall each year. In 20 percent of those falls, the outcome is a serious injury, including head trauma. At least 2 million elderly people per year visit the emergency room due to injuries from a fall. Close to 300,000 of them wind up in the hospital with a hip fracture. At its most basic, balance is the ability to evenly distribute your weight and remain in control. We use our ability to balance when we stand, sit, walk, run and perform an infinite range of physical tasks. To achieve and maintain balance, our bodies use a complex set of systems that include muscle strength, sensory input like sight and touch, and a cluster of mechanisms in the inner ear that help with motion, equilibrium and spatial orientation. To prevent a fall, start by reducing your risk. If you wear glasses, make sure your prescription is up-to-date. If you’re on any medication, talk to your doctor about possible side effects that could affect balance. At home, eliminate tripping hazards like uneven floors, loose rugs, stray power cords and clutter on floors.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier Be sure your home, both inside and out, is well lit. Install grab bars and non-skid mats in the bathroom. Keep a flashlight by your bed for nighttime emergencies. Staying fit and flexible makes a big difference. When you get out of a chair, try rising without using your hands. Practice standing on one foot – balance begets balance. Walking backward, which can be a surprising challenge, can help you become more spatially aware. Yoga and tai chi have both been shown to help with balance. Slow and graceful, these exercises not only help to maintain balance, they can improve it. Weight-bearing exercises to strengthen the arms, back and legs are effective as well. Many community centers offer a wide range of exercise classes specifically tailored to people who are older. It’s a great way to get fit and meet people with whom you can exercise in the future. And in case you have any doubt that now is a great time to start working on balance, an intriguing new study backs you up. When researchers analyzed 775 participants between the ages of 30 and 90 over the course of several years, they discovered that the decline in balance actually begins during your 50s. • Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY daughter and son are heroin Jeanne addicts. After livPhillips ing through this hell for 11 years, I have reached my breaking point. My daughter, who just turned 18, is in jail. My heart is broken. Therapists, parent sessions, etc. haven’t helped. I’m 60 years old and should be retiring, but my retirement money was all spent on rehabs, etc. I won’t even go into the many items that were stolen from me. How do I move on? I’m so depressed I can’t get out of bed in the morning, and I cry all day. I don’t want to take meds for depression because drugs have caused all my misery. My marriage is falling apart, too. How do I carry on with this misery? – Miserable in Connecticut Dear Miserable: The way to carry on is to let it go. If you haven’t heard of Nar-Anon, you should check into it. It’s a support group for the family and friends of people who are addicted to narcotics, based on the principals of Al-Anon, which is for the loved ones of alcoholics. Help is as near as your computer. Visit nar-anon.org to find a group near you, and you will find that you are not as alone as you feel right now. Dear Abby: Five years ago, I discovered my wife had been cheating on me with an ex-boyfriend for eight years. We have two young children, so we resolved our differences and decided against divorce. Now she says she wants us to have another baby. I feel I cannot handle a pregnancy with her because of her infidelity. As a hands-on father, I would want to be part of the pregnancy and the complications/changes that come with it. How should I handle this and express to her why I cannot (at this point) have another child with her? – Hands-on Dad Dear Dad: Clearly you are not over your wife’s infidelity, and frankly, I can’t blame you. The best way to get the message across to her would be during marriage counseling. Dear Abby: Several years ago I gifted one of my nephews, who was serving in the military at the time, with a .38-caliber revolver that had belonged to my uncle and reportedly had been used during World War I. I also gave his older brother a Colt .45 pistol from World War II. The nephew with the .38 revolver suffered from PTSD and died several years ago. The gun went to his father. My question is, shouldn’t I have been asked if I wanted the revolver returned? I didn’t give it to his father but to him. The father has made no attempt to return it to me. Abby, guns with histories are very personal to owners, and this one was doubly personal and an antique. What should I do? – Empty Holster in Texas Dear Empty Holster: Technically, once a gift is given it becomes the property of the person who receives it. Because your nephew is deceased – and I’m assuming his father is his next of kin – the gun became the father’s property. Since the gun has emotional significance to you because of its history, depending upon your relationship with the father, you can ask him to return it -- or offer to buy it back from him. However, there is no guarantee he will agree to your request.

BOYS SWIMMING: BARRINGTON SECTIONAL PREVIEW

ATTACK LEFT IN HIS WAKE CLC’s Babakhani has sights set on state berth 3 years after being assaulted By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com “Hey, Persian,” the boy yelled. Omid Babakhani tried to do the right thing. In February 2014, as an eighth-grader at Hannah Beardsley Middle School in Crystal Lake, he tried to walk away when another student insulted him, then insulted his mother. Babakhani, whose father is Iranian, turned his back and headed the other way. Then he felt himself being wrapped into a headlock and slammed to the ground. The other student punched him in the head. Babakhani, 16, now a junior at Crystal Lake Central, has a hard time remembering exactly what happened. “There was a big circle around us,” he recalled. “If you can imagine like in a movie where there’s the big circle with everyone yelling, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ That’s kind of what happened.” A friend pulled them apart, and teachers quickly arrived. Afterward, Babakhani couldn’t move his upper body. He needed a wheelchair to reach the nurse’s office. The assault left him with a broken collarbone on each side of his neck. “It was excruciating,” he said. “On my left side, I could feel my bones grinding against each other. On my right side, you could see one of the bones starting to push against my skin.” Two weeks later, Babakhani had titanium plates and 12 screws surgically inserted into his collarbones. Within days he was up and moving again. It would be a while, however, before he was back in one of the places he felt most comfortable: the pool. “For me, it’s always been something in my life that I felt like I had complete control over,” Babakhani said. “When I went out there and I swam, whatever I did was for me. That always gave me a sense of pride that whatever I

“It was like a constant in my life before, and [then] I wasn’t able to do it. It felt so natural for me to jump back in that water and do a couple laps.” A coach at Crystal Lake Country Club, Ed Richardson – who now coaches with the Piranhas – helped him work his way back into competitive shape. The summer after the injuries, another coach arranged for USA swimmer B.J. Johnson to meet with Babakhani. Johnson was late to swimming growing up. He told Babakhani that he knew what it was like to be behind the competition. He told Babakhani to stick with it, even if the injury and the missed time set him back at first. “You’ll be better than Kayla Wolf for Shaw Media you’ve ever been before,” Cary-Grove co-op’s Omid Babakhani, a junior at Crystal Lake Central, looks at his split time for his leg of the Johnson told him.

The boy who attacked Babakhani pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery and apologized in juvenile court. As part of the plea deal, he avoided hate crime charges. Babakhani returned to the pool within a few months of the attack, but it was a long time before he felt right again. “It’s hard to say, to be honest,” Babakhani said. “Even today when I swim, sometimes I still feel pain from my shoulders.”

•

The goal remains high heading into IHSA sectionals this weekend. “Aiming for state, that’s for sure,” Scott Lattyak said. The Cary-Grove co-op boys swimming coach is optimistic for Babakhani and his team. Made up of students from C-G, Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge, C-G has the potential to send its largest group to state.

Sectional assignments BARRINGTON SECTIONAL Saturday Jacobs co-op, Cary-Grove co-op, McHenry and Woodstock co-op ST. CHARLES EAST SECTIONAL 9 a.m. Saturday Huntley Babakhani is an integral part of that. Last year as a sophomore, Babakhani was sick and missed sectionals when his 200-yard freestyle relay team qualified for state. He was forced to be the alternate at state. This year, he has his sights set on the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, as well as the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle. In the 200 free relay, he swims with Ethan Hare, Cameron Castro and Kolin Fadden. In the 400 free relay, he teams with Hare, Fadden and Connor Dolezal. Both relay teams won the Fox Valley Conference title over the weekend. Babakhani won the FVC title in the 50 free and finished third in the 100 free. For

Babakhani, the 50 free is his favorite. “It’s all about perfection,” he said. “When I jump in the water, I try not to think and try to do what I’ve practiced time and time again. The 50 is unique in that way.” Lattyak thinks the 6-foot-1, 170-pound junior has a shot to qualify for state, both in his individual events and with his relay teams. Babakhani always swam, but didn’t take it up competitively until sixth grade. Outside of the high school season, he swims with the Sage YMCA Piranhas. Because he picked it up late, he didn’t have the stamina of other kids, so coaches started him with the sprints. He has stuck with them ever since. When Babakhani returned to school after his surgery, he admits he was nervous. His friends showed support and helped him get back into the routine. Returning to the pool that spring was more a relief than anything. “It was so nice to come back to something I had always had,” Babakhani said.

Babakhani joined the program as a freshman. Lattyak noticed the scars, a few inches long on each collarbone. They are visible reminders of the titanium plates and screws underneath. When Lattyak saw the scars, he asked Babakhani about them. “I was just baffled,” Lattyak said. “I couldn’t even believe it. Omid really does exhibit an amazing character for having gone through something like that.” Babakhani said he believes the incident made him a stronger person and swimmer. After falling ill during sectionals last season, he now has his chance to prove himself. C-G competes Saturday at the Barrington Sectional with team and individual trips to state on the line. “I came back into that water with more motivation to do good,” Babakhani said. “I tried to make it so that that event wouldn’t define my swimming career, and I wanted to prove to everyone and myself that no matter what happened, I could get back in there and do something with it.”

MACHESNEY PARK – Huntley’s start to Wednesday’s Class 4A Harlem Regional semifinal against Hononegah felt encouraging to 18-year coach Steve Raethz and the Red Raiders. Huntley jumped out to an early four-point lead, limiting mistakes and holding the up-tempo Indians to difficult long-range shots, many of which missed the mark. “I thought for the first five minutes, it looked pretty solid,” Raethz said. “But then, very typical of Hononegah, if you turn the ball over on them, they capitalize on it. And it’s very, very difficult to play catch up against such a quality team like them. “They’ve got so many weapons offensively, and so many kids that can

After that, we weren’t able to recover. “I’m glad I reached it (1,000 points), but I would much rather have a win and continue postseason play.” Three players finished in double digits for the Indians (24-6), including

4 PREP WRESTLING: INDIVIDUAL STATE TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

Petersen out to defend his title CL Central senior among 35 local wrestlers at state By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Lenny Petersen came into high school wanting to be a four-time state champion. The dream of that feat, which has only been accomplished 15 times in state history, was broken down by the reality of the state tournament, as Petersen placed sixth his freshman year and qualified but didn’t place as a sophomore. In 2016, Petersen broke through, winning the Class 2A state title at 138 pounds. Now, finally ready to defend that title, Petersen knows better than before what to expect this weekend in Champaign. Every driven kid like him in that 2A 138 bracket is going to be aiming at knocking off the defending state champion. “I saw that throughout the whole year, kids trying bigger moves against me, more headlocks, and kids wrestle a lot tougher against me than if they didn’t know me,” Petersen said after winning his sectional. “That only gets me better, I feel like.” Petersen leads a contingent of seven Crystal Lake Central wrestlers heading to state, the most of any local school. In total, 35 local wrestlers will compete in the 2017 state tournament, which runs Thursday through Saturday at the State Farm Center on the campus of the University of Illinois. Twenty-two of those 35 are making their first trip to state. The field of locals is split between those veterans, such as Petersen, looking to use their past experience to win a state title, and a contingent of underclassmen and first-time qualifiers aiming for medals. Leading those who have come close before are Harvard senior Josh Fiegel and Richmond-Burton senior Gavin Sutton. Fiegel, a senior, placed as a sophomore, but missed out on a medal last year. “I would love to win a state title,” Fiegel said. “It’s my senior year, and I think it’s definitely an achievable goal. It’s just something I’ve really strived for all throughout high school, and if I wrestled the way I can, it’s definitely attainable.” Sutton lost to Petersen in the

It’s a big confidence-booster going into state series knowing that I’m back to my normal self and competing for another medal, state title even.” Rounding out the Huntley delegation is junior Juan Quiroz and David Ferrante, the only freshman to win a sectional. Ferrante and Sam Spencer are two of four freshman looking to medal in their first season of high school wrestling. That group also includes Jacobs’ Jake Harrier and McHenry’s Jaden Glauser. Glauser has been among the county’s best all season. After losing his first match of the season in the sectional final, dropping him to 40-1 on the year, Glauser was calm and seemingly unfazed, saying, “Nobody is going to

record for the fifth straight year, but their streak of four straight regional titles ended with Wednesday’s loss. The last time Huntley didn’t play in a regional final was 2010. Huntley did, however, earn a share of its fourth straight Fox Valley Conference title by rebounding and winning its final four conference games after losing three in a row. The Raiders will lose six seniors to graduation, including Clausen, Brown, Maddy Moffett, Grace Gajewski, Kaylee Andrea and Ashlyn Schlapia. “There were some ebbs and flows to our season,” Raethz said. “I think we can all agree that we wanted to make a deeper postseason run than we did and we’ve been used to in the past, but I was really proud of the way we closed the season.”

He’ll use the time off to do some guiding. He fishes tournaments on the Fox Chain and Geneva, so I know he is great at those spots. Dave is a great teacher, and I think having him give you lessons for a half day at a place such as Vulcan Lakes in Crystal Lake would make you a better fisherman. Call him at 815-455-2040 for details. You all know Dave can put fish in the boat, but I think it’d be worth it to hire him just for a ride in his brandnew Legend V-20 powered by Mercury 250-horsepower plant trimmed out with all the bells and whistles.

We had our meeting this morning with Jake. I’ve said it all the time. I’m always impressed with our guys when they walk out the door. He was just all about winning. He’s all about making all of his starts. That’s where his mind is at right now. “He’s good. He’s very good. If he makes all of his starts, just that alone is going to mean the numbers are going to be good enough to attract a lot of suitors, I believe. I think he has the right mindset: Let’s go one game at a time. Let’s try to make all of our starts, stay healthy. And if you’re good, the numbers are going to pop.”

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Kranz reports:

“Our goofy weather continues. It’s not winter anymore, but it certainly isn’t spring. For ice fishing, you will have to head north. For open-water fishing, you will have to head south. The only other option is to just wait the weather out. Get your tackle organized and be ready to go when the weather gets right. A few fishermen trying a jig and minnow at the Algonquin and McHenry dams are getting a few walleyes.” Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report.

finding a place to bequeath his tackle someday. “Steve: Thank you for getting my search some exposure to your readers. Unfortunately, the phrasing made it sound like my demise is imminent, which could not be further from the truth. I have every intention of continuing to haunt the lakes, rivers and ponds of the area for many years to come. This is simply a step in the planning process, similar to drawing up a will.” Thanks, Tom. I’m sorry that I made it sound like you were heading for a premature demise. Glad to have you around for many years to come. In a similar vein, reader Mike Scharf wrote, “Hi Steve, I saw your column today and the request from Tom Brink regarding disposition of old fishing tackle upon his death. I also read in today’s paper that the Prairie Ridge High School Bass Fishing team is having their first meeting today. Perhaps donating fishing tackle to the local high school fishing team would be a good plan? I have a similar question regarding firearms. I have a small collection of shotguns I inherited from my dad, plus some newer models of my own. My wife and I are planning on updating our wills soon and I would like to include some instructions regarding both fishing and hunting gear for my heirs to make it easy for them. I realize there are likely many restrictions concerning transfer of firearms making donations more complex and difficult than fishing gear. Any thoughts?” The floor is now open. Any ideas, my friends?

the year before, too.” “Obviously, it was hard,” he said. “When you get traded over here, you’re supposed to be the everyday catcher. And then you come here and you’re platooning, and then it wasn’t even a fair platoon because (Jon) Lester was pitching, and [David Ross] has his personal catcher. There were times where I didn’t catch for four days. It’s hard to keep a momentum going as a hitter. You go one day and get three hits, and then you’re benched for the next four? How are you supposed to keep a streak going? It’s tough. “But it’s what it is. I got over with it last year, the year before. It’s a new year, a new adventure, I guess. We’ll see what happens.”

At the Cubs convention in January, I asked Arrieta about being able to test the free-agent market. He was drafted in 2007 by the Orioles and endured some career ups and downs before turning his career around with the Cubs. “As a player, you’re told where you’re going to play your whole career until free agency,” he said. “So that’s a nice aspect of it, to be able to decide for once where you want to go, but this is a pretty good place to play. There are some great cities out there, some good teams, but I’m not worried about that now. I’m trying to be a good teammate and perform to the best of my ability for these guys for another season, and then we’ll go from there.” Still, there’s that tug that comes from being a Cub. “I’ll always feel a part of this organization for the rest of my life because I came over here in ’13 and turned my career around, won a Cy Young, threw a couple no-hitters, won a World Series,” he said. “So that’s going to be hard to top wherever I go, if I leave. Yeah, I’ll feel a part of this city and this organization for a long time.”

Continued from page 8 “But I honestly don’t believe that he is all that upset about anything either. It’s one of those things that sometimes gets overmade, overblown. I understand that it reads well. But at the end of the day, man, I have a lot of respect for him. He’s a big part of what we’re going to do again this year. And he was so large in our success at the end of last season. Listen, man, we do not win the ring without him.” Montero, who is signed through the end of this season, came to the Cubs in December 2014 in a trade with Arizona. On Wednesday, he termed his role as “backup last year and

I guess the best thing we can do during this period of no ice fishing and no open-water fishing is to start planning our outings for the upcoming season. Besides, I am tired of arranging and sorting all my tackle already. This is going to be a great year. I can feel it in my bones. Every year I issue a list of guides whom I feel I can recommend. I always say that there is no better way to learn a body of water than by spending a day in the boat of a professional, and this year I feel no differently. Once you learn a body of water, you can go back again and again to catch more fish. A guided trip will make you a better fisherman, not only on the lake the guide takes you, but make you a better fisherman in general. The use of a guide truly is worth the expenditure. My list of guides always has covered guides who worked on waters within a reasonable drive for most of us. I’ll start my list this week and finish it next week. Spence Petros guides on Delavan and Geneva from the opening of the Wisconsin season until the end of June. That’s it. He usually is 100 percent booked, but it is worth making the call if only to be put on his waiting list. The number of fish he and his clients put in the boat on a daily basis is totally extraordinary. A hundred bass? A definite possibility.

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Free agency brings mix of emotions for Arrieta By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Jake Arrieta is entering the point in his career that every athlete looks at with a flood of emotions and thoughts: the free-agent year, or the “walk” year. At 31 years old, the Cubs righthander for the first time can determine his place of employment at the end of the 2017 season. Of course, there is the prospect of Arrieta cashing in big, either with the Cubs or some other team, based on how he does this season. That alone is enough to excite anybody about free agency. But also tugging at Arrieta are the friendships and relationships he has made in Chicago as he collected a Cy Young Award and a World Series title. “Time flies really quickly,” he said Wednesday as Cubs pitchers and catchers held their first formal workouts of spring training. “It feels like only a few months ago that I was traded over here and starting my career as a Cub in 2013. We’ve had some incredible expe-

Unfortunately, the business side of the game shows its head every once in a while. But I still think there are opportunities and chances that we can have good conversations as far as an extension is concerned and see if we can get something worked out.” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer

No drama on deck for Maddon or Montero

said Wednesday there was nothing new to report on a contract extension for Arrieta, who will make $15.6 million this season. Arrieta has made plenty of money in his career, which is why he said the impending free agency won’t be a distraction. “Once you get to a certain point in your career financially, it’s a little easier to put that out of mind,” he said. “Financially, it’s not a big worry for myself individually. The less of a distraction that can play on the team and on everyone in this clubhouse the better.” Arrieta has been very good for the Cubs since they obtained him from Baltimore along with reliever Pedro Strop in July 2013 as part of trade that sent pitcher Scott Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger to the Orioles. As a Cub, Arrieta is 54-21 with a 2.52 ERA. Since the beginning of his Cy Young season in 2015, he has gone 40-14 with a 2.39 ERA. He has tossed a pair of no-hitters in that time and held opposing hitters to a .189 batting average.

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs manager Joe Maddon insists there is no problem between him and veteran catcher Miguel Montero. In an interview after the Cubs won the World Series last fall, Montero expressed unhappiness over how he was used in the postseason, with rookie Willson Contreras and David Ross getting increased playing time at his expense. “I have nothing to clear the air about, personally,” Maddon said Wednesday after Cubs pitchers and catchers held their first formal workout of spring training. “I know that he was not happy with the role that he had had in the playoffs. We had discussed everything prior to that. I am always open to discussion.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Holland brings personality to Sox’s clubhouse By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

Derek Holland’s goals are to pitch deep into games, log 200 innings and help his new team, the White Sox, win some of them. The Sox signed the 30-year-old lefthander to pick up a chunk of the innings that otherwise would have been eaten up by Chris Sale. For what it’s worth, in the weeks since Holland appeared at SoxFest and now at the outset of spring training, it has become obvious to fans and media the Sox also have a big, engaging presence. “The main thing is, you gotta have fun and enjoy yourself,” Holland said. When Holland made calls to Sox season-ticket holders from Guaranteed Rate Field last month, he dipped into his cache of impersonations to entertain: Harry Caray, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cleveland from “Family Guy,” Kermit

the Frog. For a team that figures, in a rebuilding phase, to be on the losing side of most games, it can’t hurt to have a few laughs. Holland will be good for that. “I just have a personality,” Holland said. “I want to live my life, have fun, enjoy myself and play the game of baseball at the same time.” On Sunday night, Holland and teammate Tommy Kahnle attended Royal Rumble, a WWE elimination Derek Holland chamber event in Phoenix. He bought replica championship belts for two kids sitting by them, one a Make-A-Wish beneficiary. That’s just how he rolls. During a group media session Wednesday, Holland joked about not remembering new teammates’ names, gave a cameraman a hard time for moving around and said he whis-

pered “reunited and it feels so good” in catcher Geovany Soto’s ear (the two were teammates with the Rangers). Manager Rick Renteria said Holland’s presence is good for the comfort levels of all those young Sox players. “I think it’s awesome,” Renteria said. “As we get to know him a little bit more, we are going to take advantage of it, exploit it a little bit. He’s a happygo-lucky guy. (And) very focused, very intent on his work. He knows what he wants to do. He’s been around. We’ll take advantage of it and use it to liven up the clubhouse a little bit.” First and foremost, Holland wants to liven up his numbers after going 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA over 1071/3 innings last season for the Rangers. Knee and shoulder problems limited him to 37 innings in 2014 (1.46 ERA) and 582/3 in 2015 (4.91 ERA). “Man, I feel great,” said Holland, who pitched to a 3.42 ERA in 213 innings in 2013 and a 3.95 ERA (going

16-5) in 198 innings in 2011. “I mean, I don’t know how to realy describe it without sounding crazy, but I feel awesome. I want to use some crazy words to describe it, but I have to remember I’m with the media.” Holland signed a one-year deal for $6 million, choosing the Sox over the Pirates. Discussions with pitch Don Cooper helped him make the decision. “Coop just kept nailing me,” Holland said, “saying, ‘There’s some things I want to work on, I know what we can get right. I saw some things.’ We just kept talking about stuff, and I know these are things I need to get back on track and to be successful. And that was it. “Once he started hammering down on me, I was like, ‘All right, we’re going with the White Sox.’ Plus I’m a very sporty person, and [Chicago] is a sports town, too. I came from a sports town (Dallas), and this is another great sports town. That also played a factor.”

Pet of the Week DAN 2 YEAR OLD MALE LAB/CUR MIX He was found as a stray and ended up at a kill shelter in Kentucky. He is a handsome tan and white medium size boy at 37 pounds. He has white on his face, neck, chest, stomach and all 4 feet. He has soft brown eyes, medium length triangular ears and a shiny black nose. Dan has a sweet personality, he is energetic and likes to go on walks. When out for his walks he likes to spend time sniffing everywhere and everything. He seems to like other dogs and he is working on his leash manners. He really enjoys running in the yard but so far he doesn’t play much with toys. With new people he can be a little cautious and shy but he warms up quickly. We think he could be a good jogging partner and would enjoy outdoor activities and sports. His short hair is easy to groom and would just need occasional brushing to remove dead and loose hair. You can meet him at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. 815-338-4400 www.helpingpaws.net He is an intelligent, athletic, affectionate and wonderful dog just waiting for his second chance.

Paul-Jordan Jansen plays Sweeney Todd, and Emily Rohm is the Beggar Woman in Paramount Theatre’s “Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Photo provided courtesy of Liz Lauren

“SWEENEY TODD – THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET”

Not a weak link in brilliant ‘Sweeney Todd’ at Paramount REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels

“Sweeney Todd” is not to everyone’s taste, yet it is considered a definitive American Musical Masterpiece. Suffice to say, the Paramount audience that cheered the show’s title announcement, applauded every single number and gave a well-deserved 5-minute standing ovation appreciates why. As critic Bob Hoose appropriately stated, “ ‘Sweeney Todd’ is a cautionary tale. One sinful choice can trigger an avalanche of revenge and retribution that destroys everyone involved, even the innocent.” Sweeney Todd first appeared as a villain in 1846’s “The String of Pearls,” a penny dreadful series, quickly becoming a staple of Victorian melodramas and London urban legends. In the 1970s, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler wrote their immortal musical tour de force, which went on to win eight Tonys in 1979 and four more in 1990, when it was revived on Broadway. And now, the amazingly gifted atistic director/choreographer Jim Corti has mounted a stellar production at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora. The Johnny Depp/Tim Burton film probably brought further recognition of the weary barber, Benjamin Barker, who has returned to London after a 15-

year trumped-up exile to Botany Bay. It seems the evil Judge Turpin had designs on Barker’s beautiful wife (“there was a barber and his wife, she was his reason and his life”). Seeking revenge, Barker reinvents himself as Sweeney Todd and establishes a tonsorial parlor above Mrs. Lovett’s disgusting meat pie shop on Fleet Street. And thus the tale unfolds... The technical aspects of this production are as brilliant as the cast. The musical score is luscious, beautiful and memorably performed by Paramount’s live 19-piece orchestra, conducted by Tom Vendafreddo. The series of scaffolds, grilled cages and three-story platforms compose the set designed by Jeffrey D. Kmiec, who creates a masterful depiction of everything from the squalid London streets to Mrs. Lovett’s abode and bakehouse. I applaud the freshness of the infamous chair (no spoiler alerts), the bakehouse and the use of characters to seamlessly deliver props. Costumes designed by Theresa Ham are brocades, lush, lacy and dark representations of the Victorian times; and it all is gorgeously illuminated by lighting designers Nick Belley and Jesse King, with special effects by designer Patrick Ham. Paul Jordan Jansen is Sweeney Todd. He not only is a superbly powerful actor who seduces us with his descent into torment as the Demon Barber, but his operatic range vocals are exquisite and heartfelt. Bri Sudia as Mrs. Lovett is a matching powerhouse to Jansen’s Todd. She provides much comic relief in her

WHEN: Through March 19 WHERE: Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora COST & INFO: Rate PG 13 with a running time of 2 hours, 40 minutes with one intermisison. Tickets range in cost from $44 to $59 at 630-896-6666 or www.paramountaurora.com. desperate bids to gain Sweeney’s love and financial success in the meat pie business, and can she ever interpret a song. Patrick Rooney (Anthony) and Cecilia Iole (Johanna) are beautiful in voice and appearance as the young lovers; Anthony Norman’s Toby is an innocent delight even while being mistreated by the boastful Pirelli (Matt Deitch). Larry Adams’ Judge Turpin and Craig Underwood’s Beadle are the evil well-sung slimy characters you expect, and Emily Rohm’s Beggar Woman is extraordinary. A gallery of superbly acted characters. The supporting 16-member ensemble, 13 making their Paramount debuts (lucky them!) and three returning veterans, are strong and vibrant both visually and vocally. There is not a weak link anywhere in this cast, folks. Having been in and seen many productions of “Sweeney Todd” from Woodstock to London, without question, this is the best production I’ve seen to date. What Paramount offers is simply spectacular and probably very soon to be sold out. Attend the tale of “Sweeney Todd,” my friends, before it’s too late.

David Stobbe and Aurora Real De Asua star in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” running through March 18 at the Metropolis in Arlington Heights. Photo provided

A well-executed ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’ at Metropolis REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels My director friend, Michael, always called “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” a “three-headache play.” Part comical, part absurdist and always billed as a modern masterpiece, all I know is it’s a three-act combination mash-up romp of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot.” It also launched the career of author/playwright Tom Stoppard in the 1960s. The title is taken directly from the final scene of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” and the plot is inherently simple: the two minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are tasked with discovering childhood friend Hamlet’s vengeful intentions and then are charged by Claudius to escort the Danish prince to the king of England. Of course, there’s a letter to be delivered that states “kill Hamlet,” and the two become caught in an odd scheme that involves both pirates and a craftily switched letter. But the plot is confounded with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s memory lapses, Stoppard’s philosophical interjections on randomness and death, questioning

“ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD” WHEN: Through March 18 WHERE: Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, 111 W. Campbell St., Arlington Heights COST & INFO: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, become the stars in this comical absurdist delight, acclaimed as a modern masterpiece. Three acts, with two intermissions. Tickets: $38. Tickets and information: www.metropolisarts.com or 847-577-2121. interruptions, silence and confusingly verbal volleys and word games (it is Stoppard after all). The supporting players of “Hamlet,” Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are now the superstars. Hamlet has a minor part, mostly dashing in and out. For assistance on just how to handle their confounding situation, the two turn to the Player, the leader of the Tragedian troupe that comes to entertain Hamlet and the court with its presentation of “The Murder of Gonzago.” The Player has a recogniz-

able talent of stage experiences and Socrates to call up in his attempt to help. Director Josh Sobel’s “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern” is a fast-paced, energetic and well-executed production. Everyone gets to stride the boards on a very utilitarian and extremely clever set designed by Adam Liston; the lighting design by Chelsea Lynn is a visual pleasure of shades of blues, garnets and mauves illuminating that set. And what a cast! (Thank you, resident casting director Robin Hughes.) The Tragedians (Madeline Bunke, Josh Carroll, Margaret Garofalo, Maddie Sachs and Peter Danger Wilde) mug, enact and prance delightfully upon the Player’s (a masterful, handsome basso fundo Christopher Walsh) command. Hamlet (the facile Ryan Duncan), Gertrude (Amy Gorelow), Claudius (Douglas Bryan Bean) and Polonius (George Manisco) make brief appearances with lifted dialogue provided by Shakespeare. But it is clearly David Strobbe, as Rosencrantz, and Aurora Real De Asua, as Guildenstern, who both anchor and drive this production. Their exquisite rapport and skilled, flawless delivery of an amazing amount of complex lines is a commendable act of perceptive casting and direction. Going against traditional male casting, De Asua’s Guildenstern is a spitfire, a

lean, angry thinker and a believer in stark reality. Strobbe’s Rosencrantz is a softer, at times bumbling, simpleminded character. Both actors are astoundingly good. It is a little disconcerting about what lies ahead when the Metropolis’ executive director Joe Keefe precedes the show with an acknowledgment that “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern” is the most abstract and lengthier production than usually done at the Metropolis. Keefe also encourages the audience to read the playbill summary so you can understand and follow what goes on in the play. Perhaps Guildenstern sums it up best: “What a fine persecution to be kept intrigued without every quite being enlightened.” Nonetheless, this “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern” is a superbly well-done production of a play that won four Tony Awards and is about to be remounted in a 50th anniversary celebration at the Old Vic in London. Do not fear this first-class production at the Metropolis.

Inspired by the recent election, a group of musicians hope to send a message with their music, hosting a Feb. 18 Rattle the Walls concert in McHenry. The concert, slated from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5603 Bull Valley Road, McHenry, will feature contemporary art music, jazz, pop and classical selections in an effort “to bring music to a world that needs music, to give aid to those in need of aid and stand tall against those who need to be stood up to.” There is no admission cost, but those who attend are asked to make donations to the American Civil Liberties Union. After the election, Forrest Ransburg, the music director at Tree of Life, and a group of friends and colleagues felt the need to do something. They formed Rattle the Walls, described as an organization of accomplished musicians, with plans to bring chapters of the organization and events to places throughout the Midwest. “The thing we all knew we had to offer was our music and our art, and we figured why not put it to good use,” said Ransburg, a Chicago resident and contemporary art music multi-instrumentalist. “We just really want to be able to do

To the Batcave!

Woodstock Batman fan co-authors book on the classic television series

Story by JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com

obert Garcia of Woodstock takes readers to the Batcave, the Batmobile and everywhere else on the set of the classic “Batman” television series with a new coffee table book. Wonder how that carnival look of the 1960s show was created? Among other things, they color coordinated the lights to bring out the color in the costumes. It was green and lavender for The Joker. The Riddler? “His green was much more prominent,” Garcia said. Many of his never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes photographs – depicting everything from the creation of the show in 1966 through its production of 120 episodes in three seasons – along with information garnered from Garcia’s interviews with most of those involved with the series create an indepth overview of the show. It’s one for the true fans, said Garcia, who was Adam West and Burt Ward’s screen asked to create the test was done in full costume, with book – released a Batcave full of “borrowed” equipin November – by ment from “Lost in Space.” Titan Books based on work he’d done with Desris in the 1990s for “Cinefantastique,” a horror, fantasy and science fiction film magazine. The two collaborated on an extensive “Cinefantastique” cover story about the “Batman” TV show and have become known as experts on the subject, with Desris also writing about Batman for numerous books and magazines and his nowsold collection – “somebody eventually gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse” – featured on radio and television and in newspapers and magazines worldwide. “We generated so much material, we thought, ‘This isn’t all going to fit [in an article]. We should do a book,’ ” said Desris, who remembers collecting The Batmobile once had an accomic books cident as it was being unloaded for and Batman a car show. It got loose and rolled bubble gum into a parked car. The owner of the cards and clipdamaged car laughingly refused the ping out the offer to fix it.

He co-authored “Batman: A Celebration of the Classic TV Series” with Joe Desris of Kenosha, Wisconsin, known as having had one of the largest Batman collections ever amassed.

Still, it all began with Adam West’s portrayal of Batman in that original television series. “Before the TV show, no one knew who Batman was,” Garcia said. “There was even talk of canceling the ‘Batman’ comic strip. … The television show, like the TV show for ‘Superman’ 10 years before, made these characters name brands, made them household names.”

Continued from page 12 As his book and Garcia tell it, television networks were looking for “stunt shows,” as they called them, pulling from pop culture and creating shows around them. It also was a time when color television was taking off. “The idea was they were going to put the most garish, wow, attention-grabbing colors on the screen to blow everyone away,” Garcia said. “People today still look at it. ... It’s a beautiful television show to watch.” Promoted heavily at the time, even in Super Bowl For the pilot, Wayne Manor was ads, the show attracted the shot on the lot in the original Fox young, while its humor Studios, and the Batcave was on drew in college students the main Fox lot. So Bruce Wayne “right at the end of that and Dick Grayson jumped on the bobby sock, drag-racing Batpoles in one studio, and Batman era.” and Robin landed in the Batcave The villains looked like miles away in another. they stepped out of the comic strip, Garcia said. Each villain even had his or her own theme music. It was a time when the television studio was desperate for hit programming, Garcia said. “It was like tumbleweeds were going across the lots,” he said. Those behind “Batman” had access to all sorts of props and talent, both on screen and off. The book talks about the four Batmobiles used for the television show, including drag-racer versions, as well as the “Batclimb,” in which the characters walked on a floor angled to Cesar Romero was attached to his look like they were walking mustache and would never shave up a wall. it for his role as The Joker. They put “Even the Batcave was white make-up over it. revolutionary,” Garcia said, adding it was the first use of polystyrene to give an effect of the cave being underground. In the show, entry was gained by flipping a switch hidden inside a bust of William Shakespeare.

“We got a ton of material, and we put a small fraction of it inside this book when we actually look at what we’ve gathered as far as information,” said Garcia, who hasn’t ruled out future books on the topic. As far as today’s Batman, including the one voiced by Will Arnett in “Lego Batman” – perhaps an attempt to once again lighten up the character after years of a dark Batman – the authors say they’re just pleased to see Batman still getting his time in the spotlight. “They’re all interesting, and they all have their, I suppose, more interesting aspects,” Desris said of the various Batmans. “Some Batmans don’t work as well … It’s all still Batman.”

Batman actors From George Clooney to Will Arnett, who wore the suit best? 5. Adam West

By MICHAEL CAVNA The Washington Post

So many men have inherited Gotham’s dark cape and cowl “The Lego Batman Movie” doesn’t even have the most well-known plastic incarnation of the character. No, that dubious honor goes to 1997’s “Batman & Robin,” in which director Joel Schumacher unleashed a molded, infamously rubber-nippled suit that George Clooney was forced to live down, in a critical bomb so bad it plunged the entire franchise into an eight-year deep freeze. Nothing, though, can kill the cinematic Bat. For nearly 75 years, the Caped Crusader has kept re-emerging on screen, forever luring a new, strongjawed face into its twisted, villain-rich world. So where does Will Arnett – who first voiced the breakout toy interpretation in the Dark Knight in 2014’s “The Lego Movie” – rate among the many men who have played Bruce Wayne? Here are our rankings of the top 10 Bat-men:

10. George Clooney

Before embarking on a career that has yielded eight Oscars nominations (with two wins), Clooney (below) was saddled with a Bat-disaster that was nominated for a whopping 11 Razzie Awards – including “worst screen couple” for Clooney and Chris “Robin” O’Donnell. This high-camp extravaganza lacks even the winking charm of the ’60s series. As evil Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) says: “If I must suffer, humanity will suffer with me.” Oh, the humanity, indeed.

9. Lewis Wilson

Just four years after Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s character debuted in Detective Comics in 1939, Bruce Wayne made his screen debut in 1943’s 15-part serial “Batman” – in which our hero must battle Dr. Daka, a Japanese mastermind who wields his own death ray (as the racial overtones of the World War II era, 18 months after Pearl Harbor, rear their head). Making his screen debut here at age 23, Wilson faced criticism for

It can be harder now to fully appreciate just what West accomplished five decades ago. Many Bat-fans may belittle the high camp of the mid-’60s TV series – which wore thin by its third and final season – but West struck the perfect vocal tone: commanding but warmly amusing, as if his baritone were forever delivering a fourth-wall wink to the audience. That helps explain why West today is so beloved on the geek convention circuit (such as at last year’s Awesome Con DC).

4. Kevin Conroy

Michael Keaton as Batman.

his chunky physique and strong Boston accent – setting up a long legacy of Batman actors enduring public drubbings.

8. Robert Lowery

An athletic actor fit for such action films as 1940’s “The Mark of Zorro,” Lowery inherited the cape for 1949’s “Batman and Robin” – setting up a long tradition of performers first donning the dark cowl while in their 30s. Lowery had the requisite physical flair for the heroic role, later becoming better known for Westerns.

In much the same way we relish Mark Hamill’s vocal work as the Joker, we hold Conroy’s quarter-century of service as the voice of the animated Batman in very high regard. As such, we must rank him above such other worthy Bat-voices as Olan Soule and the shorterterm Rino Romano, Diedrich Bader, Will Friedle and Jeremy Sisto. Still, we can’t quite give him the edge over. . .

3. Will Arnett

Pixar knew from the outset with “Toy Story” that when voicing plastic, emotionally resonant vocal performances are crucial. And so with the Lego films, Arnett emerged as the ideal Batman, hitting that sweet spot between a gruff and gravely spoof of Christian Bale’s half-asthmatic Batman and the wrinkles of winking comedy. As long as Lego Batman lives, Arnett has earned a gig for life.

2. Christian Bale

Three decades after Adam West went from playing Doc Holliday (in TV’s “Colt .45”) to eventually playing Batman, Kilmer made the identical pivot – taking over the superhero role after director Schumacher liked the actor’s turn in “Tombstone.” But Kilmer – who appeared in the excellent “Heat” this same year – was a one-and-done after 1995’s “Batman Forever” (despite the high praise of co-creator Bob Kane).

And speaking of Bale, he was an ideal choice for reviving the franchise in 2005 – uncannily inhabiting the suit like a cinematic Tom Brady to director Chrisopher Nolan’s Bill Belichick. Bale weathered blowback for the sometimes near-indecipherable husky rasp of a delivery, yet somehow it worked opposite Nolan’s inspired villains, particularly Heath Ledger’s immortal Joker. Nolan had to bring Batman back from the cinematic dead without even a wink of comedy; on that count, Bale was a beast.

6. Ben Affleck

1. Michael Keaton

7. Val Kilmer

The easy joke here is that “Batfleck” – while playing the Caped Crusader so far in last year’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad” (with “Justice League” due in November) – has been even a stiffer performer than a piece of Lego plastic. But the truth is Affleck found some resonance as an older, graying Batman with gravitas – the actor generally is better now at conveying internal conflict than over-emoting – and he was one of the stronger aspects of the much-flawed “Dawn of Justice.” Yet it likely will be a Batman solo film that ultimately determines how his run on the character is judged.

Would Keaton have even been given a fan’s chance in an age of social media? As it was, the criticism was brutal. But director Tim Burton knew in 1989 what so many could not see: Keaton had the rare ability to walk the line between comedy and drama with the deftness of a Wallenda; being a bit shorter than 6 feet tall doesn’t much matter if you can pull off the Batsuit; and beneath that cowl, Keaton happened to have the perfect chin for the job. Keaton could have taken it on that chin; instead, he became entirely iconic over two Batman films, and still casts the longest shadow for all big-screen Batmen going forward.

4 easy ways to pest-proof your home

(BPT) - It’s late and you’re in your favorite, cozy pajamas. You get in bed and pull up the warm comforter. You turn out the light and are just about to drift off to sleep when you hear a noise coming from the attic. You sit up to listen, but it quickly goes quiet again. You lay back down and close your eyes, and just as you fall asleep, the noise is back, this time it’s coming from inside the wall. You have a visitor - an unwanted visitor. As much as we all enjoy our cozy homes, they are also the perfect setting for pests like rats, mice and raccoons to snuggle up and escape the cold air, too. “There’s nothing more unsettling than knowing you and your family may not be the only ones enjoying this season indoors,” said Buck Hempel, manager of wildlife services at the pest control company Terminix. “Luckily, there’s still time to prepare your home to prevent critters from finding their way in.” Whether you’ve already noticed signs of pest activity or just want more peace of mind at home, use these four preventative tips to eliminate and prevent potential pest infestations. 1. Seal off entry points to stop rodents from squeezing in. Rodents can enter through holes as small as a dime, and will use any vulnerable opening to get in-from your foundation to your roofline. To keep these unwelcome intruders out, start by checking the perimeter of your home and repairing any small cracks or holes. In order to prevent rodents from chewing through these sealed areas, layer your sealing work by stuffing it first with a metal mesh, such as steel wool, and then sealing it

Don’t give pests the opportunity to cozy up indoors with you this winter. down with caulk. This can also help keep summer pests such as spiders and ants at bay. Don’t forget to check for gaps around conduit pipes, worn-out door sweeps and garage seals, as well as torn screens behind gables and roof vents. And, avoid leaving your doors open unnecessarily-even between trips to the car for groceries. 2. Secure food sources to eliminate the attraction. Pests are not picky eaters. Once they ﬁnd a food source, they are notorious for overstaying their welcome (and inviting friends). While critters can thrive in even the cleanest of houses, homeowners should remove any temptations by sweeping up spills and crumbs immediately. The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention recommends storing food in airtight containers made of thick plastic or metal. This is especially important when storing pet food or bird seed in the garage. 3. Clear up clutter in your yard. Stacks of ﬁrewood, old tires or other debris leaning against your exterior walls are a perfect, protected pathway around your house. Leave at least a foot of space between these items and your home, and move mulch away, too. Then, clean out your gutters and remove any dead leaves. Not only do piles of colorful fall foliage make for the perfect autumn Instagram photo, but raking these away from your home can help prevent pests like earwigs and snakes from ﬁnding warmth and building nests.

Homeowners with green thumbs should also thoroughly clean out planters before bringing them in for winter, as spiders will often lay eggs at the bottom of pots to hatch next spring. 4. Know when to call in the pros. As with most home improvement projects, there are great do-ityourself methods available to prevent pest control issues in your home. However, waiting until it’s too late to call in a certiﬁed professional can be dangerous and lead to major damage, costing you money and time. Pest control companies like Terminix offer free pest inspections to assess your home, and if needed, can remove any critters that may have settled in. To keep your family worryfree, they will seal any entry points to ensure winter pests can’t return.

The winner of the 2016 Yeh Online World Bridge Cup was Lavazza, who played in Turin, Italy. The team partnerships were Emanuela Calandra-Norberto Bocchi, Benedicte Cronier-Agustin Madala and Sylvie Willard-Giorgio Duboin. Winning points sometimes seems random, but if you keep pressuring the opponents, things usually work out -- as in this deal played between Lavazza and the Chinese Contract Bridge Association. Madala (South) opened one heart in fourth seat with a hand that fails the Rule of 15: In fourth chair, open if your point-count plus spade length equals at least 15; otherwise, pass out the deal. Over West’s takeout double, Cronier (North) responded two notrump (the Truscott convention) to show a maximum pass with at least four-card heart support. South took a shot at the vulnerable game. West made an inadvisable lead: her trump. Now declarer drew trumps, knocked out the club ace and had 10 tricks: ﬁve hearts, two diamonds, two clubs and a diamond ruff in the dummy. Probably, if West had led the spade king, Madala would have made the contract, playing West for a singleton heart because of her takeout double. At the other table, over West’s double, South bid two clubs, which he intended as the Reverse Drury convention, showing a maximum pass with heart support -- he did not see West’s double! Over the double, two clubs was natural. South rebid two diamonds, and North invited game with three hearts, which South, expecting at most three hearts opposite, passed. Declarer also took 10 tricks, but Lavazza gained 10 international match points.
