Good morning, McHenry County ...

Alternative facts are just the new lies I really don’t care where the recent concept of “alternative facts” came from, but it has opened up a Pandora’s Box of countless forked tongue possibilities … a slithering, wrinkling of the truth that would make even the original serpent of Genesis blush.

Back in the day, we had a pretty good handle on truth vs. lies …

“Michael, did you pour maple syrup on your brother’s head?”

“Me? No. He did it.”

“Your brother poured syrup on his own head?”

“Mom, you know he’s kind of goofy.”

“Are you sticking to your story?”

“No, Mom, he’s the one that’s sticky.”

“Go to your bedroom until your father gets home.”

Well, that was a lie, and I got punished. I knew what I was doing. But I wish there were alternative facts back then …

“Michael, did you pour syrup on your brother’s head?”

“Nope, he did it.”

“Are you lying to me?”

“No, I’m alternative facting.”

“Oh, that’s a different story. Now go outside and play.”

That’s the beauty of alternative facts: They allow us to present a different story other than the truth, and you get to walk away clean, baby.

Just think of how alternative facting could have changed history …

“George, did you chop down the cherry tree?”

“Who, me?”

“Yes, George, well …?”

“Father, I cannot tell a lie. The alternative fact is, the British did it.”

Or how about this conversation …

“Well, Columbus, how was India?”

“Your Majesty, the alternative fact is, it’s actually a lot smaller than we thought.”

Or this one…

“Hey Giovani … is it me, or is the tower leaning a bit?”

“Oh, signore, the alternative fact is, surprisingly, that the town of Pisa is crooked, and the tower is straight.”

How about one more …

“Hey Napoleon … how’d it go at Waterloo today?”

“Well, François, alternatively factually speaking, we won.”

Now, this has given me some ideas for my own personal alternative facts …

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava

It appears that what we are witnessing today is the waxing of the lie and the waning of the truth.

It’s morality in flux, and it certainly doesn’t worry about subtlety.

Bars if you eat them while watching a Blackhawks game.

• The more days in a row you wear the same shirt, the better you look.

• Eating food dropped on the floor is helping save the environment.

• Car body parts make great family room décor.

• Husbands are innocent victims of inhumanly uncontrollable gas.

Geesh, with alternative facting, we can bob and weave around the truth with impunity.

It’s the hazy, banal middle ground between the truth and the lie. It’s the color gray, it’s tofu, it’s Switzerland, it’s Kim Kardashian, it’s Purgatory. At its best, it’s justifiable and, at its worst, it’s debatable. But it’s not a lie. Not, not any more. Not even a little white one.

It appears that what we are witnessing today is the waxing of the lie and the waning of the truth. It’s morality in flux, and it certainly doesn’t worry about subtlety. It fears not consequence and flourishes in apathy and indifference.

And don’t think the younger generation isn’t latching onto this. What we’ve polished and spun is just fodder for them to enhance.

Generation Alternative (Gen-Alt) will have the opportunity to flat line what is left of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to keep on guessing what to believe. And who to believe.

At least until the truth catches up with us. If it can.

Electronic voting could go live if full County Board OKs rule changes

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board’s new electronic voting system will officially go live Tuesday, if board members approve changes to the rules to allow for it.

Chairman Jack Franks said he intends to move the debate and vote from the end of the meeting to near the beginning, and start using the system once board members approve it.

Board members complained of a lack of training and rules that did not reflect electronic voting when the system was first used at the Jan. 17 voting meeting.

Since then, all have received training either at the committee level, or one-onone training with County Clerk Mary McClellan, who takes minutes and tallies votes at board meetings.

Franks, D-Marengo, said he hopes board members “do the right thing” and approve the rule changes, which were approved by a five-member adhoc rules committee he convened.

“Most of the people I’ve talked to are pretty excited about it,” Franks said.

The new system, which works through the county’s existing audio streaming and online agenda software, allows board members to vote with their county-issued iPads and displays voting results online and on a new flat-screen TV behind the chairman’s seat. It was paid for through the county clerk’s budget. Franks wanted to implement such a system shortly after taking office in December as the first popularly elected chairman.

Woodstock father gets probation, jail time for shaking 4-month-old

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Woodstock man who “violently” shook his son 4-month-old son to probation and jail time.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Cody A. Pennington after a hearing Friday to two years of probation and 180 days in McHenry County Jail on an amended charge of aggravated domestic battery, a Class 2 felony. The charge is punishable by up to seven years in prison or probation.

Prather found that the offense caused great bodily harm, meaning Pennington would not receive day-forday credit for his time in jail. He will remain in custody for 42 more days.

Pennington was charged April 25, 2015, with multiple counts of felony aggravated battery after prosecutors said he reportedly called police about 4 p.m. that day to report his son was in distress, having trouble breathing and crying uncontrollably.

The child was taken by ambulance to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock and later transferred by helicopter to Advocate Lutheran General in Park Ridge. Doctors found the child sustained hemorrhaging in his brain and a fractured skull consistent with injuries caused by violently shaking an infant, authorities have said. Pennington also admitted to two similar incidents while being interviewed by police.

Prather said this was a “sad and

troubling” case that started with two people who lacked the maturity and education to raise a child. She said she did not believe the defendant intentionally inCody A. tended to cause harm to Pennington his son, rather he had a lack of parenting skills.

“What he did he did out of ignorance and lack of knowledge,” she said.

While Prather took into consideration the fact that Pennington caused serious harm to his child, she also recognized that he had no criminal history or previous violent incidents.

Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein said Pennington should be sentenced to six years in prison because of the irreparable damage caused by his actions to his son. “[His son] doesn’t get a chance. …

He’s not OK,” Eisenstein said.

Lisa Thornton, a pediatrician who specializes in pediatric and adolescent rehabilitation, testified that she started seeing the child in August 2015. She said the child suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that led to brain atrophy.

She said that while it may be difficult to determine now what problems there may be in the future, it is more likely than not the child will face longterm cognitive struggles.

“His future is very concerning,” Thornton said.

The child’s foster parents, who were

Message and data rates apply. present in court, said the life-threatening injuries sustained by the child in 2015 have greatly affected his life, and their primary concern is his safety and well-being.

Pennington’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos, said his client took responsibility for his actions and he now is trying to learn from his mistakes, but one thing he can’t do is turn back time.

“This will always live with my client. Cody will live a law-abiding life, but he will always have remorse,” he said.

Mourelatos also said that the child “has made great strides” since the 2015 incident, and there is uncertainty as to what his condition will be down the road. Based on his client’s lack of criminal history and ability to take responsibility for his actions, Mourelatos advocated for probation.

“I have faith that my client has a bright future and he will redeem himself,” he said.

Pennington, who spoke on his own behalf, said knowing his son is now safe and happy keeps him striving to be a better person. He said his son is growing up quickly and he hopes one day to be able to see him.

Chicago fugitive arrested after being found hiding in Island Lake home

...We Take the Time to Know You

25-year-old accused of kidnapping, domestic battery, drug charges

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com A Chicago man facing kidnapping, domestic battery and drug charges was arrested Thursday by the Lake County Sheriff’s Warrants Team after he was found hiding in an Island Lake home.

Xavier J. Thomas, 25, of Chicago was wanted on a $75,000 warrant for kidnapping and aggravated domestic battery charges in connection with a Round Lake Beach police investigation.

He also had a no-bond failure to appear

warrant for cocaine manufacturing and delivery charges in connection with an Antioch police investigation.

Members of the warrants team and U.S. Marshals Service – Great Xavier J. Lakes Regional Fugitive Thomas Task Force obtained information that Thomas was hiding at a house in the 4100 block of Beech Street in Island Lake, according to Lake County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Thomas was found at the residence and arrested without incident. Deputy Dwight Arrowood and his K-9 partner, Duke, found crack cocaine in Thomas’ bedroom, police said. He was then charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

A 17-year-old who was wanted also was located at the Beech Street residence and taken to the Hulse Juvenile Detention Center in Vernon Hills, police said.

Thomas will appear March 8 in Lake County Court.

responders to supply each vehicle with a REACH BAG for them to bring out when they encounter children in crisis. Each bag comes with 10 children’s books as well as 10 drawstring backpacks and includes one free refill.

“So really a single bag can support up to 20 children throughout the year,” Salzwedel said.

“This is the first department in Illinois to be a part of this new program, and we’re hoping more departments will learn about this program and want to get involved,” he added.

Books are selected using several criteria. Some criteria include the books being appropriate for all reading abilities, not promoting a religion or war and must be entertaining and comforting to a child in need.

“They must also be in good condition,” Salzwedel said.

Nunda Rural Fire Protection District Lt. Ryan Artner said he

learned about the program less than a month ago and instantly became interested in participating in it.

“It seemed like a cool idea to help kids take their mind off whatever they are going through or dealing with right now,” Artner said.

The partnership was made possible through a donation by Snap-on Tools in Crystal Lake.

“The Snap-on employees got together and put their own funds together to donate toward Nunda Fire being a part of this program,” said Jane Brenner, who runs a team out of Snap-on that give back to the local community.

Eric Salzwedel of REACH-A-Child shows firefighters and paramedics of the Nunda Rural Fire Protection the contents of REACH-a-Child backpack kits Friday. The kits were made possible by a donation from Snap-on Tools.

Food Shed Co-op begins to scout area for locations

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County’s community-owned food co-op has begun scouting locations for its brick and mortar store.

Food Shed Co-op wants to bring a community-owned grocery store – which would sell mostly local, organic foods – to McHenry County and has begun scouting locations for its store after recently passing its ownership goal.

The organization now wants to push for more owners and recruit more farmers to source food for the store once it opens. The timeline for an opening date still is fluid, said Richard Passavant, vice president of the Food Shed Co-op board.

“We’ve seen sites that would require ground-up work and places that could be turnkey sites,” he said. “That all goes into the business plan. We want to open sooner than later, and we are making some headway.”

The grocery store would be open to everyone, but owners would have a say in what products are sold and also could receive benefits and discounts.

The focus of the co-op is to make organic, sustainable, local food available in a commercial store. Food Shed plans to have a deli, hot food section, pre-made meals, produce and other grocery items, Passavant said.

The store likely will open in either Woodstock or Crystal Lake. Food Shed completed a feasibility study that indicated the store likely would be most

successful in Crystal Lake between Route 31 and Route 14, or in Woodstock from Route 14 to Route 47, according to the co-op’s website.

Founding owners must buy two shares of common stock for $200. Payment plans are available, according to the co-op. Right now, the group has about 570 members, and officials are hopeful that those members can bring in some friends, Passavant said.

“We really want to double ownership as we approach announcing a new location,” he said. “We want to launch a one-plus-one campaign and grown organically and exponentially.”

Laura Ehrman of Crystal Lake has been an owner with the co-op for about two years, and she said she thinks it’s important to support local food producers as well as feed her family healthfully.

“We have young children, so we’re concerned about food additives and saw this as a great resource for families all over the county,” she said. “I see [ownership] as a way to put a stake in the ground and say, ‘This is what we want for our community and the future of our community.’ ” Food Shed holds regular community events where residents can find out information about the community.

The co-op will be at Saturday’s winter Woodstock Farmer’s Market, and it will host a Coffee and Conversation session at 9 a.m. Feb. 25 at Conscious Cup in Crystal Lake.

LOCAL BRIEFS Algonquin Garden Club offers new scholarship

ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Garden Club is offering a new scholarship, the Diane Connelly Memorial Scholarship, established by the Connelly family in memory of Diane, a past president of the club.

The $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to a student pursuing a career in horticulture, conservation, agriculture, forestry, architecture or environmental studies or the teaching of these subjects. Applicants must be a resident of Algonquin or Lake in the Hills (exceptions will be considered) and accepted into or enrolled in a college or university. Two letters of recommendation and a transcript of grades also are required.

The application deadline is March 15.

Applications are available through the guidance departments of Jacobs, Dundee-Crown, Hampshire and Marian Central Catholic high schools, as well as

see Tuesday will not include changes recommended by the Internal Support and Facilities Committee. The committee, formerly the Management Services Committee, historically has had the task after every November election of reviewing and proposing revisions to board rules.

Franks, who as chairman gets to control the board’s agenda, said the committee has no jurisdiction over the board rules – he convened the ad-hoc group because no standing committee under board rules is specifically authorized to review them. What’s more, board rules require a 14-day review period for recommended changes, and the committee’s Feb. 10 vote does not meet that minimum.

Centegra event to promote healthy lifestyles for women

CRYSTAL LAKE – The 11th annual Centegra Health Strong Woman Event will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Holiday Inn, 800 S. Route 31.

The event will feature lunch, raffles, health care speakers, interactive demonstrations and booths, and free bone health, blood pressure, body mass index and diabetes screenings. The keynote speaker will be New York Times best-selling author Kelly Corrigan. All attendees will receive a $10 gift card to Algonquin Commons.

The cost is $10 a person. To register, visit www.centegra.org/healthstrong or call 877-236-8347.

– Northwest Herald cited adherence to the letter of its rules when they rejected Franks’ last-minute call for an advisory referendum on freezing property taxes.

Internal Services member Donna Kurtz, who has worked for a number of companies in an IT role, argued the committee should have a say on the board rules, based on its historic role.

“The process is absolutely fundamental to ensuring that you’re maintaining the integrity of each County Board member’s vote,” Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said. “Consequently, we have to maintain a process the County Board members are going to feel comfortable with and not result in some unintended consequence.”

Besides adopting the voting rules, Tuesday’s agenda also includes appointing board members as liaisons to related agencies, and ratifying a contract with the union representing Valley Hi Nursing Home nurses.

Ex-turnbuckle biter George ‘The Animal’ Steele, 79, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE Hall of Fame member George “The Animal” Steele, whose given name was Jim Myers, has died at age 79.

WWE announced Friday the death of Steele, who was living in Florida. The Detroit native had tweeted and blogged in recent months about his declining health. He dealt with the digestive disorder Crohn’s disease for several years.

Sporting a bald head, hairy back and green tongue, Steele was famous for his signature move of sinking his teeth into the turnbuckle pads around the ring. At a Boston Red Sox game in 2012, he pretended to take a bite from the baseball before throwing out a ceremonial first pitch.

Steele was once a Detroit-area high school teacher and coach who received a master’s degree from Central Michigan.

ORIGINAL ARTWORK – Award-winning Woodstock artist Thomas Trausch recently presented an original work of art to the McHenry County Retired Teachers Association. The painting was commissioned by the group to honor the late Marcia Wright, who taught English for many years at Crystal Lake High School. The painting highlights many of the elements that make McHenry County great: farming, commerce, nature and outdoor activities, education, railroads and the Woodstock Opera House. Through a bequest to the organization

by Wright, the organization has expanded the number of college scholarships it awards each year and established a fund to support teachers as they implement special classroom projects. The painting recently was presented to the Illinois Retired Teachers Association in memory of Wright and is hanging in the IRTA office building in Springfield.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Bob Michel, an affable Illinois congressman who served as leader of the Republican House minority for 14 years and was skilled at seeking compromise critical in getting many initiatives of two Republican presidents through Congress, died Friday. He was 93.

A former staffer, Mike Johnson, said Michel passed away Friday morning.

Michel’s skill at seeking compromise with the Democrats was critical in helping Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush pursue their agendas during their presidential terms.

Michel served 19 terms in the GOP minority and retired one election too soon to be part of the GOP House majority that swept into power in 1994. He stood on the sidelines as an ebullient Newt Gingrich of Georgia took the role of House speaker. Gingrich praised Michel that day, but had considered him too pliable and conciliatory with the Democrats while he was Republican leader.

But year after year, Michel had been faced with cutting deals with the Democratic majority. He admitted at a GOP fundraiser in 1994 that it was

LaRoyce Tankson, 31, is charged with first-degree murder in the Feb. 8 shooting of 25-year-old Chad Robertson, who died Wednesday, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said.

Robertson was taking a bus from Memphis, Tennessee, to Minneapolis and was on a stopover in Chicago when the shooting occurred. Robertson and two friends went to Union Station to stay warm while they waited for their onward bus. But two officers confronted

“There are times when I feel like a small boy who has dutifully eaten his spinach and broccoli but who leaves the dinner table before mom brings in the strawberry shortcake,” Michel told a crowd of Republicans.

The officers confronted them again outside the station and accused one of them of smoking marijuana. An officer searched the men and when he put his hands in Robertson’s pockets, he ran, the sister said. That’s when one of the officers opened fire. Chicago police said they found cash and narcotics on Robertson, but no weapon.

Tankson’s attorney, Will Fahy, said Friday that Tankson saw Robertson turn and reach for what the officer thought was a gun. Fahy said Tankson “reasonably believed he was about to be shot.”

Fahy said Tankson is a father of three and is married to a firefighter.

Robertson was black, as is the officer.

Francisco Espinal-Quiroz pleaded guilty in November to five counts of reckless homicide and falsifying entries in his logbook, which tracked how many hours he was behind the wheel. He was sentenced Thursday during hearing attended by relatives of the victims.

Espinal-Quiroz told the families: “I’m so sorry.”

Espinal-Quiroz, 53, was driving along Interstate 55 near Channahon when his vehicle slammed into vehicles stopped at a construction zone on July 21, 2014.

The crash killed five people in three vehicles.

Michel had announced in late 1993 that he would not seek another term, citing lost power under a Democratic administration and a new class of lawmakers making their careers by “trashing the institution.” In an interview after the 1994 election, Michel criticized the GOP’s “Contract With America,” saying its tax-cutting and defense spending provisions could actually worsen the budget deficit.

Throughout his service, Michel was seen as a gentleman who considered many Democrats and Republicans among his friends.

“He had many opponents, but no enemies,” former President Richard Nixon said in taped remarks to a crowd of Republicans paying tribute near the end of Michel’s time in Congress. And that was a big factor in his leadership style.

The Corps launched the study Jan. 18 in light of concerns from the Standing Rock Sioux and other Native American tribes that a pipeline leak beneath Lake Oahe would pollute drinking water.

Trump leaps back into campaign mode

By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – Hoping to shift attention from his troubled White House, President Donald Trump hit the road Friday to deliver a pep talk to American workers and the rest of the nation, resurrecting the jobs promises that powered his election victory and pledging in a campaign-style rally to “unleash the power of the American spirit.”

But he was only a few hours away from the turmoil he has stirred in Washington when he swerved from that positive message to escalate his complaints about news coverage of his young administration.

“The FAKENEWS media ... is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!” he exclaimed on Twitter, singling out The New York Times and TV networks. His latest outburst came a day after he forcefully defended his administration in a marathon White House news conference, brushing aside the tumult, infighting among senior staff and setbacks in courts and Congress.

He took a more upbeat tack in South Carolina.

“We love our workers and we are going to protect our workers,” Trump declared at a Boeing plant where the company showed off its new 78710 Dreamliner aircraft. “We are going to fight for jobs. We are going to fight for our families,” he said in a reprise of the “America First” message from his campaign.

Trump is expected to stick to the theme Saturday when he holds a big rally in central Florida, a change of scenery that marks an effort to galvanize a month-old White House that has been buffeted by crisis and paralyzed by dysfunction.

The new president toured a 787-10 still under construc-

About 5,000 employees and others inside a hangar greeted him with chants of “USA, USA.” The president, who owns an airplane but now travels exclusively on government aircraft, praised the Boeing jetliner as “an amazing piece of art.” He noted that it’s made of carbon fiber, seats 330 passengers, is 18 feet longer than the previous model and can fly for half a day before landing.

“The name says it all.

Dreamliner, great name,” Trump said. “Our country is all about making dreams come true.”

“As your president I’m going to do everything I can to unleash the power of the American spirit and to put our great people back to work,” he said. “This is our mantra: Buy American and hire American.”

Trump then departed South Carolina for his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where he plans to spend the holiday weekend. He arrived late Friday afternoon.

In Washington on Thursday, he complained bitterly

about news coverage – and “criminal” leaks from within the government that took down his top national security adviser and revived questions about his own ties to Russia.

Trump still is trying to stabilize his national security team. On Monday, he demanded the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn after revelations that Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence about Flynn’s contacts with Russia. Trump’s first choice to replace Flynn – retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward – turned down the offer.

FBI Director Jim Comey left a meeting with senators on the intelligence committee Friday afternoon. Neither Comey nor the senators would discuss the subject of the meeting, but it followed reports that the FBI had interviewed Flynn about his contacts in December with Russian officials.

Trump tweeted Friday that retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, “who I have known for a long time, is very much in play for NSA – as are three others.”

Kellogg, who is serving as the acting national security adviser, traveled to South Carolina with Trump aboard Air Force One.

White House denies National Guard report Draft proposal: Troops would be utilized in immigration roundups

By GARANCE BURKE The Associated Press

The White House distanced itself Friday from a Department of Homeland Security draft proposal to use the National Guard to round up unauthorized immigrants, but lawmakers said the document offers insight into the Trump administration’s internal efforts to enact its promised crackdown on illegal immigration.

Administration officials said the proposal, which called for mobilizing up to 100,000 troops in 11 states, was rejected, and would not be part of plans to carry out President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policy.

If implemented, the National Guard idea, contained in an 11-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, could have led to enforcement action against millions of immigrants living nowhere near the Mexican border. Four states that border on Mexico were included

Despite the AP’s public release of the document, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said there was “no effort at all to utilize the National Guard to

round up unauthorized immigrants.”

A DHS official described the document as a very early draft that was not seriously considered and never brought to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly for approval.

However, DHS staffers said Thursday that they had been told by colleagues in two DHS departments that the proposal still was being considered

as recently as Feb. 10. DHS spokeswoman Gillian Christensen declined to say who wrote the memo, how long it had been under consideration or when it had been rejected.

The pushback from administration officials did little to quell outrage over the draft plan. Three Republican governors spoke out against the proposal and numerous Democratic lawmakers denounced it as an overly aggressive approach to immigration enforcement.

“Regardless of the White House’s response, this document is an absolutely accurate description of the disturbing mindset that pervades the Trump administration when it comes to our nation’s immigrants,” said U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said he would have “concerns about the utilization of National Guard resources for immigration enforcement,” believing such a program “would be too much of a strain on our National Guard personnel.”

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert would have serious concerns about the constitutional implications and financial effect of activating the National Guard to round up unauthorized immigrants, the governor’s office said in a statement.

Ranch Living Draws Buyers To Meritus Homes at Lake Vista in Lake Villa

When Denise and Fred Morrone set out to find a new home, they didn’t know it would lead them to builder Meritus Homes—but it did. The couple knew they wanted a ranch. So they researched resale homes on the market and visited new communities. After searching on and off for nearly six months, they found the Marquis.

“We lived in a ranch in Palos Park and keeping that single-level lifestyle was a priority,” said Denise Morrone. “We’re both in our 50s and don’t want the hassle of steps everyday.”

The Marquis met their demands.

With more than 2,600 square feet, 10-foot ceilings and an open-concept layout, it has an expansive feel.

The Morrones made some modifications—they added a fireplace in the corner of the family room, removed the tub from the master bath to expand the shower, and eliminated a wall between the kitchen and family room to open the space even more.

They expanded the island to create a 6-foot-by-7-foot center island, which is the focal point of the kitchen—and Denise’s favorite spot.

“We were thrilled that our vision of the kitchen worked so well with the building plans,” said Denise.

“Meritus was very accommodating.

The team made sure we received everything we wanted and needed in our new home.”

As a semicustom builder, Meritus Homes understands that the personal choices and attention to detail are what make a new home so attractive.

The company provides a portfolio of floor plans but allows buyers to add their own inspiration to create homes that are truly right for them.

Capitalizing on the popularity of its ranches, Meritus Homes has debuted new single-story plans like the Windsor at Lake Vista in Lake Villa.

This 2,253-square-foot ranch has three bedrooms and two full baths along with fine architectural touches throughout. Options such as a box bay window, fireplace, tray and vaulted ceilings, and French doors allow for personalization possibilities. Plus, walk-out or lookout lower levels are available to bring the outdoors in and add more living space.

Tucked in a mature setting surrounded by existing homes, Lake Vista is an enclave of 28 single-family homes nestled around a single cul-de-sac for privacy. Everyday conveniences are nearby thanks to a location on the south side of Grand Avenue/Rt. 132, just two blocks east of Rt. 83 and only minutes from Lake Villa Metra Station. The community is within Lakes Community High School District 117 and District 41.

Homes at Lake Vista are priced from the low $300,000s and sales are by appointment. Two ranch homes are under construction that will be completed in 30 days and are available to view now. For information or to schedule a property visit, call (224) 634-4333 or visit www.MeritusHomebuilders.com.

The Islamic State group is hemorrhaging money with every piece of territory it loses, according to a new analysis that found that the group’s “business model” is on the path to failure.

The analysis released Saturday by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence and the accounting firm EY found that the self-proclaimed caliphate’s financial resources have been drained substantially since the days beginning in mid-2014 when it captured banks, oil wells and entire warehouses of weapons as it amassed land.

The report found that Islamic State revenue has declined from up to $1.9 billion in 2014 to at most $870 million in 2016.

“One of the mistakes that’s been made in the past when we were talking about Islamic State was talking about it purely as a terrorist organization.

It is a terrorist organization but it is more than that. It holds territory,” said Peter Neumann, director of the center at King’s College London. “That also means it has a lot more expenses. It needs to fix roads. It needs to pay teachers. It needs to run health services. It needs to pay for these things that al-Qaida never had to.”

But less money may not make the group less dangerous, the report said.

“We know from the attacks in Paris and Brussels and Berlin that none of them was expensive,” Neumann said.

Most of the recent attacks in Europe and the U.S. were self-financed by the people who carried them out, with little input or money from the IS leadership in the war zone of Syria and Iraq.

Among the top sources of revenue for the Islamic State group were taxes and fees, oil, ransoms, and looting or other extortion. All of those, Neumann said, required newly captured territory to be sustainable and to keep the group’s promise of a caliphate.

A federal lawsuit filed in December was a prime example of Islamic State’s revenues from a combination of seized land, taxes and extortion. According to the court filing, the group received at least 20 percent of the proceeds of items excavated from archaeological sites under its control and taxed antiquities sold in its territories. At one point, a child was kidnapped to force an antiquities merchant to pay, said the lawsuit, which sought the recovery of four ancient artifacts believed to have been put up for sale by the group.

But that income only flows when Islamic State can exert absolute control.

According to an update Friday from the global coalition against Islamic State, the group has lost 62 percent of the territory it controlled in Iraq at its height in August 2014 and 30 percent of its territory in Syria.

“The business model was also to constantly expand and to plunder the areas that were becoming part of the caliphate. It was essentially a pyramid scheme which relied upon constant expansion,” Neumann said.

A U.S. defense official said IS still has enough money to pay its bills, despite the fact that it has lost sources of income and has reduced what it pays foot soldiers. The official said the U.S. certainly has not seen IS’ financial situation damaged to the point that it has degraded its ability to conduct external attacks. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss IS and spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

New peer mentoring a positive Thumbs-up: To new peer mentoring programs at McHenry County College. The Focus program is open to students who want to establish or improve their GPA, or those who may need additional encouragement.

The Excel program provides students an opportunity to develop leadership skills by mentoring other students and preparing them for life after community college. Candice Johnson, coordinator of multicultural affairs at MCC, said the pairing of program participants will allow them to learn from one another, noting students who take advantage of such resources tend to do better in school. After a successful first semester, we wish them luck in expanding the program.

Thumbs-down: To the Illinois budgeting fiasco that kept news that funding had been slashed for domestic violence agencies from those agencies for more than five months. The omission of the $9 million deficit caused cuts and layoffs among the 62 programs that provide for victims of domestic abuse.

Thumbs-up: To the village of Huntley for buying the former Catty Corp. property as a part of the village’s effort to revitalize its downtown area. Huntley does not have a plan for future use of the property, but the three-acre property has plenty of potential, and can go a long way in helping Huntley improve its downtown area, which has been taking shape nicely.

Thumbs-up: To Community Health Partnership of Illinois, who are celebrating the opening next week of a new dental clinic at its Harvard Area Community Health Center, which serves more than 2,500 clients annually.

ANOTHER VIEW

New Senate bill could keep roads safer As residents, we want our roadways to be safe, whether we are driving, walking or riding a bicycle. This doesn’t seem to be too much to ask.

But we all know that not everyone follows the law when it comes to being safe on roadways. Unfortunately, some drivers speed, run through stop signs or red lights, drink and drive or are under the influence of drugs.

There always will be people who choose to endanger their own lives and the lives of others, and while there’s no way to completely put a stop to it, there could be a way to put a dent in it when it pertains to driving under the influence.

Senate Bill 123 has been filed by state Sen. John Schickel, R-Boone County, and would require a doctor, nurse practitioner, paramedic or

emergency medical technician to report opioid overdose patients to the commissioner of the Department of Vehicle Registration in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The cabinet would then notify the overdose patient that his or her license was suspended, and the driver would have 20 days to request a hearing.

If no hearing is requested within that time frame, the right to the hearing would be waived and driving privileges could not be restored until a medical professional certifies that the overdose patient has been free of opioid use for at least 90 days or that the person’s opioid use is controlled by the use of medication.

Thankfully, our city hasn’t seen as many opiate overdoses as northern Kentucky, but it is clear measures

such as SB123 are needed statewide, because opiates could move into our area. Not only are these drugs causing unnecessary deaths, they are affecting the finances of law enforcement departments where drugs such as heroin and fentanyl are prevalent. That’s an unnecessary burden on the taxpayers.

This is common-sense legislation that has the support of county attorneys, commonwealth’s attorneys and the Fraternal Order of Police.

Warren County Attorney Amy Milliken put it best about the legislation when she said that any bill that helps keep the public safe on the roads should be pursued.

We urge the legislature to pass this important legislation in a timely manner in an effort to keep our roads safer.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Hatred back in America

To the Editor: Recent events in America are remindful of a dark period in our history during World War II. In a panic mode, the U.S. government shipped more than 300,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry to relocation camps away from the West Coast. Apparently, this wave of xenophobia was in the interest of public safety.

These good Americans were being penalized only because of their ancestry. They lost everything – homes, farms, places of business and, most of all, dignity. After the war ended, the folks in Washington realized they had made a tragic mistake. They made a horrible judgment and many good Americans suffered.

It appears some of this hateful thinking is creeping back into America, thanks to the new regime in Washington. I also see tears on the cheeks of Lindy Liberty.

Donald brought hatred and xenophobia into the campaign from day one and seems to be pursuing it now that he’s in our house. He is a serial liar – a stager of false events and an insult to

everything decent and good about our country.

When will buyers remorse finally kick in?

Cost to run a township

To the Editor: The state statutes outline what a township is required to do.

In Nunda, they levy money in the fall so they can operate the township.

Once they have the money approved by the trustees, they then create the budget in the spring. Somehow, they find a way to budget for every dollar levied.

In the past four years, the current supervisor tells us how he has gotten the township out of debt. True, but some of that debt was created while he was trustee. Did he ever vote NO when the money was being spent? The town fund includes the assessor budget.

We know the assessor budget is being dropped every year. The levy stays the same or goes up. You do the math.

The cost for the services the township

Protestant or unorthodox in religion, contemptuous of distant authority.

Fascism, in order to thrive, needed conformity and deference to the wisdom of planners. It was the doctrine of elites, not mavericks or crackpots. The Nazis purged many accomplished people from high positions, but most of the elites either tolerated or supported them. They captured the government first, but the universities, the established churches and the cultural institutions soon fell into line. As for Trump’s chances of effecting a fascist putsch, does anyone seriously imagine that his populist creed stands a chance of winning over the elites who populate our universities, news media, cultural institutions and entertainment industry?

This entire discussion, however, assumes that the tenets of Trump’s ideology, the content of his decisions and policies insofar as we know what they are, bear some relationship to fascism. They don’t. Only the president’s stringent immigration policies, expressed foolishly in his executive order on travel visas, gives an appearance of credibility to parallels with European fascism; but the parallels work only if you believe Trump’s views on immigration arise from a

desire for racial purity rather than a misguided obsession with national security.

But if this populist upheaval isn’t fascism or anything close to it, what is it? The Trump phenomenon is a distinctly American upheaval: ugly in its overtones, philistine in its aesthetics, incoherent in its tenets, occasionally disruptive of valuable traditions and institutions, but basically a necessary remedy to the centralizing dynamic of consensus liberalism.

Today’s democratic elites – the liberals and progressives who run our institutions – have become too complacent in their dominance and too conformist in their opinions. The populist movement that’s turning our politics upside down won’t win them over, but it will weaken their influence and rattle their pieties. And when the dust settles and the United States is still the free and vibrant place it was before – when the nation hasn’t metamorphosed into some fascist dystopia –they just might engage in a little self-criticism.

The United States’ supposed lurch toward authoritarianism – or maybe full-on fascism – has become an obsession among progressives and even a few centrists and conservatives.

George Orwell’s “1984” and Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” are once again bestsellers; wellknown liberal intellectuals, discoursing on the term’s definition, have categorically called President Donald Trump a fascist; and left-leaning websites murmur warnings of another Reichstag fire.

Leave aside the facile parallels (Mussolini was a bully, and so is Trump!) and consider the larger point that, if fascism was going to spread to the United States, it would have done so in the 1920s and 1930s, when fascism and related ideologies were gaining the support of enlightened, forward-thinking people all over Europe. Authoritarian and antidemocratic movements were taking hold nearly everywhere from Portugal and Spain in the west to Greece and Russia in the east. For European intellectuals and politicos, democracy wasn’t the future; fascism and com-

munism were. Yet neither ideology attracted more than a few adherents in the United States. The salient fact about Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” – to repeat the common quip – is that it didn’t.

The general term for the mystery is “American exceptionalism”; socialists have spent decades lamenting this exceptionalism or explaining it away, and conservatives have rejoiced in it. But there is no argument over the fact that the radical ideologies of the 20th century failed in the United States.

You could argue that fascism is reemerging in some new and more domestically engineered form. Yet that would be to misunderstand not just the history of fascism but also the character of American society itself.

There is a reason neither fascism nor communism nor socialism ever took root in the United States, and the reason remains: These ideologies are premised on the centralization of authority, and the dominant tendency of American culture is always centrifugal. It’s a consequence of our federalist system, which itself is a consequence of the frontiersman’s attitude of American settlers and immigrants – self-governing in lifestyle,

BUSINESS Kraft still hungry for Unilever after rejected offer

By CANDICE CHOI and MICHELLE CHAPMAN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Kraft Heinz is attempting to buy Unilever in a $143 billion deal that would join the U.S. maker of cheeses and lunch meats with the European producer of mayo, teas and seasonings in a global powerhouse.

Unilever rejected the approach and called the price too low, while Kraft Heinz said it’s still interested in a deal. The shares of both companies surged to new highs as investors saw prospects for cost cutting.

A combination of Kraft Heinz, which sells Oscar Mayer meats, Jell-O pudding and Velveeta cheese, and Unilever, which owns brands including Hellmann’s, Lipton and Knorr, would rival Nestle as the world’s biggest packaged food maker by sales.

That might not lead to big changes that customers would notice on the supermarket shelves. But it’s people’s changing tastes, shifting away from boxed and canned groceries in favor of items that seem fresher or healthier, that are driving deal-making in the food industry.

Companies such as Kraft Heinz, itself formed from two century-old businesses in 2015, are trying to find new avenues for growth amid heightened competition.

Part of the challenge is the proliferation of smaller food makers marketing more wholesome products, which makes it harder for the established companies to drive up sales simply

Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, speaks June 24, 2010, at the Global Compact Leaders Summit in New York. U.S. food giant Kraft Heinz Co. confirmed that it’s made an offer to buy Europe’s Unilever and been rejected. The company said Friday that talks are ongoing with the Dutch company, but that no deal can be assured. by selling more of their well-known products or by raising prices, as they have in the past.

“That obviously has its limits,” said David Garfield, head of the consumer products unit at consulting firm AlixPartners.

Instead, companies are being forced to dig deeper to find cost efficiencies or tap into new markets, Garfield said. That can include mergers that result in consolidated manufacturing systems, or that give companies access to distribution networks in regions of the world where they

don’t have a big presence.

Those were some of the factors that drove Oreo and Chips Ahoy maker Mondelez International – which was split from Kraft in 2012 – to make an unsuccessful takeover bid for Hershey last year before retreating. And they were among the reasons cited by executives in the Kraft Heinz tie up, which was engineered by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, the Brazilian investment firm with a history of taking over companies and aggressively cutting costs.

Bernardo Hees, a 3G partner, has

slashed jobs and pursued other savings, some of them granular, as CEO of Kraft Heinz. In a 2015 memo to employees, Hees reminded them to print on both sides of the paper, reuse office supplies such as binders and turn off computers before leaving the office to cut down on energy costs.

The company also stopped stocking the corporate office with free Kraft snacks.

Unilever follows Nestle, PepsiCo and Mondelez as the world’s biggest packaged food maker by retail sales, coming in ahead of Kraft Heinz, according to Euromonitor International. In addition to its food products, it sells health and beauty products such as Axe body spray and Dove soap.

In the meantime, food and drinks companies such as Coca-Cola Co., General Mills Inc. and Kellogg Co. also are under pressure from Wall Street to slash costs and find products that suit the shifting customer preferences.

While mega-deals are tough to pull off, they’ve made an array of acquisitions of smaller, faster-growing brands. Campbell Soup is trying to shed its canned-food image, and has bought juice and bagged carrots maker Bolthouse. General Mills now owns Annie’s, Hormel owns Applegate meats and Justin’s nut butters, and Dr. Pepper recently bought Bai Brands, a maker of drinks sold as rich in antioxidants.

Shares of Kraft Heinz closed up nearly 11 percent Friday. Unilever PLC jumped 14 percent.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2017

CHESAPEAKE CITY, Md. – A Maryland auction house is selling a telephone owned

by Adolf Hitler.

Bill Panagopulos of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City said occupying Russian officers gave the phone to Brig.

Sir Ralph Rayner during a visit to Hitler’s Berlin bunker. Rayner’s son is selling the red phone with a Nazi party symbol and Hitler’s name engraved on the back.

Panagopulos considers the phone a

“weapon of mass destruction,” noting that the orders Hitler gave over the phone took many lives. He said the seller and auction house hope it ends up in a museum.

Nicole Kidman reveals past engagement to Kravitz

Singer Mariah Carey (left) talks with Bryan Tanaka on Wednesday during an NBA game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Atlanta Hawks in Los Angeles.

Mariah Carey confirms new beau; talks new single, tour LOS ANGELES – Mariah Carey has a vision of love for her backup dancer Bryan Tanaka.

Carey, who posted an Instagram picture with her and Tanaka drinking champagne in a tub on Valentine’s Day, confirmed the romance in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, but she declined to say much more than that.

“I’m just going to be like, ‘I really don’t talk about my personal life.’

Because that’s what I used to do, and it really worked for a minute, back, a while ago,” she said, smiling. “I just don’t feel comfortable talking about my personal life. ... Me and my boyfriend don’t want to do that.”

Carey’s reluctance to talk in the media about her romance is understandable given the drama that erupted when she and billionaire James Packer broke up last year. The split wasn’t amicable and led to plenty of tabloid headlines.

But it seems to have inspired Carey musically. Her latest single, “I Don’t,” featuring rapper YG, is about a breakup: “We got together and did the song in like a day and the video the next day.”

In the video, Carey dresses in sexy white lingerie with a white bridal garter on her thigh. In one line, YG raps, “Hold up, give me my ring back. Never mind you could keep that.” Meanwhile, Carey flips off the camera with the ring on her middle finger – a ring that looks just like the one Packer gave her.

Carey is due to hit the road this spring with Lionel Richie for “All the Hits Tour,” which runs from March 15 through May 27.

NEW YORK – Actress Nicole Kidman has revealed that she once was engaged to musician Lenny Kravitz.

Kidman confirmed the engagement with the rocker in a recent interview with Net-APorter’s magazine “The Edit,” in which she discussed her upcoming HBO series “Big Little Lies.” Kidman said she already knew co-star Zoe Kravitz because she once was engaged to her father.

Kidman dated Lenny Kravitz a couple of years after her divorce from actor Tom Cruise in 2001. She never disclosed an engagement, although she talked about a failed engagement in 2007 with an unnamed ex. She’s married to country singer Keith Urban.

In the interview with “The Edit,” Kidman said “it’s all in the family” when talking about working with Zoe Kravitz and said Lenny Kravitz is “a great guy.”

CoverGirl male model says sorry for Ebola comment

NEW YORK – The first male spokesperson for CoverGirl cosmetics is apologizing for saying he was scared to be traveling to Africa because he was afraid he’d get the Ebola virus.

Seventeen-year-old James Charles tweeted on the eve of a school trip to South Africa: “I can’t believe we’re going to Africa today omg what if we get Ebola?”

CoverGirl called Charles’ Thursday tweet

“inappropriate” and not representative of the brand.

Charles, who has 182,000 followers on Twitter, was criticized and apologized in an expletive-filled statement. “It was never my intent to offend anyone,” he wrote. “I feel awful for posting what I said.”

No ‘Jersey Shore’ redux; town wary of new TV show

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. – Some residents of a shore town stung by MTV’s “Jersey Shore” are wary about plans by a bar featured in that series to hold a casting call for a new reality show.

The Bamboo Bar in Seaside Heights is looking for “loud and fun” single people at a casting call Saturday.

The planned show is tentatively titled “I Love Summer” and would follow roommates who work on the beach during the day and at the bar at night, according to a Bamboo Bar social media posting.

Bamboo Bar owner John Saddy told the Asbury Park Press that it’s not as wild as “Jersey Shore,” which debuted in 2009 and focused on a group of young Italian-Americans at a New Jersey shore house.

“It’s basically a ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ East Coast version, where everybody works at one place,” Saddy said. “It’s not as crazy as ‘Jersey Shore,’ and it’s a different audience and it’s a little older.”

Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” is a spinoff of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” about the staff of a West Hollywood restaurant.

Creating a sense of sunshine

Simple ways to cheer up your home in the gloomy days of winter

D

uring these gray days of mid-winter, many of us look to our homes as sanctuaries.

The standard advice for cheering up your living space is to add a few splashes of bright, happy color, designer Maxwell Ryan said.

But while that may seem like an easy solution, he said, it’s actually not very effective. To create a home that really helps battle the mid-winter blues, you need more than just a pop of color.

The Associated Press asked Ryan, founder of the home decor website www.apartmenttherapy.com, and two other interior designers – Florida-based Laura Burleson and New York-based Jenny Kirschner – for advice on small decor changes that can lift spirits and brighten up a home.

Bring nature in

In February, many people are craving time outdoors and missing the natural energy of growing plants and flowers, Ryan said. “We’ve watched our plants die outside or the leaves fall from the trees,” and we’re due for an infusion of healthy, growing life, he said.

So add a few new plants to your home – perhaps succulents arranged in

Or consider swapping out old lampshades or adding a new lamp. “Spread your light around down at the level you live at,” Ryan said, so it’s “closer to you, closer to your face. You’ll look better and feel better.”

Designers recommend having at least three points of light in any room.

Shimmer and glow Once you have plenty of light sources, Add “a little glimmer of light” to make sure you use them by adding dimmers to control the light, and upgrading your living space, Burleson said, by so several lights can be turned on from adding shiny elements like metals, cut a single knob or switch. Ryan has begun glass and lucite. These help natural using Hue bulbs, which can be conlight bounce around a room even when trolled by smartphone and adjusted for days are short. The goal is to make the brightness and color. most of what light there is. In a home “My living room has five lights in in Colorado, she recently swapped out it,” he said, and they’re now easily old kitchen hardware for shimmering clear agate knobs and included metallic controlled via his smartphone. He notes if he had to switch each one on individelements in a mix of finishes. ually when he arrived home on winter Burleson also suggests adding metals in warm colors that “hint of spring,” nights, “it probably wouldn’t happen.” such as a copper, brass and rose gold.

Another way to make a room’s lighting more welcoming: Light your fireAll three designers suggest improvplace if you have one, Kirschner said, ing the happy glow of your home by or create a similar feeling by clustering swapping out any lightbulbs that offer cold or harsh light. Kirschner said hard- glass hurricane vases with pillar canware store employees can help you find dles inside. Arrange several together on a coffee table, she said, “and light those the most appealing “daylight bulbs”

“Even if you just go to the corner store and bring in cut flowers,” Ryan said, you’ll be adding a bit of nature’s energy to your home.

when you come home from work.”

Faux fur and fragrance

It’s easy to create an uplifting sensory experience in your home by adding faux sheepskins, faux-fur throws and rugs or pillows made of cashmere or soft wool, Kirschner said.

Ryan agrees: Make sure you have pleasing textures around you, he said, including underfoot. Little touches can make a big difference. Try adding a sheepskin or soft blanket over a chair that you use when working at home.

Kirschner also suggests adding pleasing fragrances to your space.

Choose organically scented candles, or simply take items from your kitchen (lemon and orange slices, cloves and nutmeg, or other fruits and spices) and steep them in water in a heat-safe container over a votive or tea light candle.

Inspiring words

Several years ago, Burleson decorated a home office with the uplifting words “Don’t Ever Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle” printed in a subtle shade of gold in a delicate brass frame. It serves as “a very, very simple, elegant little pick-me-up,” she said.

last century include the Higan cherry (P. subhirtella), the Sargent cherry (P. sargentii) and the Japanese flowering cherry (P. serrulata).

The Associated Press Washington’s birthday is a good time to think about cherry trees. But rather than questioning whether George really chopped down the tree and then admitted to it, I find myself wondering what kind of a cherry it could have been.

(The story, incidentally, may be apocryphal. It was reported by Mason Locke “Parsons” Weems for his 1802 book, “Life of George Washington: With Curious Anecdotes, Equally Honorable to Himself and Exemplary to his Young Countrymen,” but has never decisively been confirmed.)

Possible cherries felled by George

Besides exotic introductions, the Eastern United States was full of wild, native cherry trees. Our native pin cherry (P. pennsylvanica, but also called bird cherry) is not much more than a bush.

And if George had cut down a chokecherry (P. virginiana), another native species, his father probably would not have been riled.

Chickens can be helpful – and challenging – for gardeners

By LEE REICH

The Associated Press Raising small flocks of backyard chickens has been a trend among city dwellers for a decade or so, and putting the birds to work can be a boon to gardens. You can use them for tilling, grubbing for worms and for their manure, which makes excellent free fertilizer.

But raising chickens does bring challenges, especially if you give them the run of the yard.

“These ‘free-ranging’ chickens will eat large amounts of insects, grasses and seeds,” said James Hermes, an extension poultry specialist with Oregon State University. “They will also eat ornamental and vegetable plant gardens in their search for insects.”

Hermes suggests keeping a few of the birds in chicken “tractors” or coops that can be wheeled around the yard and placed where convenient – say, between the wide rows of a vegetable garden.

Chickens “put nutrients (manure) in the soil and remove some of the small weeds,” he said. “And they will eat insects. If there are bugs on the plants they will get them, too.

“But they also will get the small tender plants, like tomatoes. Corn stalks a month or so old – they won’t damage those.”

Lisa Steele, author of the new “Gardening With Chickens: Plans and Plants for You and Your Hens” (Voyageur Press), subscribes to a seasonal form of

The birds “eat whatever is left over after the harvest,” she said. “During the winter, I use their manure for fertilizer and compost.”

Chicken manure is nitrogen-rich, so let it mature for a while – four to six months – before applying it around plants, or it may burn them.

Many people design their gardens in part to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators. Steele designs gardens in part for her chickens.

She uses a variety of plants – mostly herbs – for boosting egg production (fennel, marjoram, parsley), changing egg yolk colors to orange (carrots, marigolds, watermelon), as feed supplements (chervil, dill, oregano, sage), for healthier baby chicks (basil, dandelion, tarragon) and to boost immune systems (blue cornflowers, rosemary, thyme).

That cherry tree well could have been something akin to the sweet cherries we can buy or grow today. Sweet cherries (Prunus avium), sometimes called bird cherries or, in their wilder state, mazzard cherries, were among the plants ordered from Europe by the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1629. By 1650, there was a cherry orchard in Yonkers, New York, and before the end of that century, there were plantings in Rhode Island, Maryland and Virginia.

Those cherry trees became so abundant that, by 1749, Peter Kalm wrote “all travelers are allowed to pluck ripe fruit in any garden which they pass by, provided they do not break any branches;

Vegan diet may cause B12 deficiency Dear Doctor: One of my resolutions for the new year was to become a vegan, and now my girlfriend is saying I’ll have to take supplements to get enough vitamin B12. Why can’t I get B12 in my diet, and what will happen if I fall short?

Dear Reader: Your girlfriend has done her homework – vitamin B12 is a nutrient that is essential to human health.

And while it occurs naturally in a wide range of animal foods, B12 is not found in any plant foods. As a vegan, you’re now going to have to rely on supplements to be sure you get enough B12.

Why is it so important?

Vitamin B12 is a bit of a workhorse.

Not only does it play a key role in the proper functioning of the brain and the nervous system, it’s crucial to the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. As though that wasn’t enough, B12 also aids in DNA and RNA synthesis, and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Research shows B12 also has a hand in maintaining mood and memory.

The body does not store B12, so you need to ingest it every day. Beef liver and clams have the highest concentrations of the nutrient.

It is also present in varying quantities in red meat, eggs, poultry, shellfish, milk and milk products. Many breakfast cereals and some dairy products are fortified with B12. For vegans, there are non-dairy milks, meat substitutes and nutritional yeast products to which B12 has been added. Dietary supplements are widely available.

What happens when B12 is in short supply?

Considering all the roles the nutrient plays in health and well-being, the list of symptoms is long and sometimes quite

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier serious.

People with a B12 deficiency may feel weak and tired, the result of the vitamin’s role in producing the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Since B12 helps maintain the protective sheath around your nerves, a lack of the vitamin can lead to strange sensations like numbness or tingling, as well as problems with balance or walking. Mood and memory may also suffer.

In extreme cases, B12 deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a blood disorder in which the red blood cells produced in the bone marrow are unusually large, malformed and immature.

And while your girlfriend is right about your need for vigilance in getting enough B12, she may do well to examine her own B12 status. Recent studies suggest that up to 40 percent of the population, vegan or not, may be flirting with B12 insufficiency. Due to physiological changes associated with aging, the elderly are at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. Individuals who have undergone weight-loss surgery also must make a special effort to get enough of the nutrient.

As for you, a newly minted vegan, we recommend you seek professional advice, preferably from your family doctor, to be certain you forge a wise nutritional course.

By all means, tell them how you feel about what they did, and that you feel the care your husband received at that hospital contributed to his early death. Had they consulted you as they should have, they would have known better.

• Saturday, February 18, 2017

DEAR ABBY fiancé and I are getting married Jeanne in a year. We Phillips have some very close gay friends, and I have gay family members on my mom’s side. The majority of our family is gay-friendly, but a few of them on my father’s side are very open about their dislike of the LGBT community.

Our ceremony will be at a Unitarian Universalist church because we love that they are supportive of the LGBT community and want everyone to feel comfortable and accepted on our big day. I’m terrified my family members will do or say something to hurt or offend guests at our wedding who have same-sex partners.

I am considering putting a note on my wedding website that our wedding will be a celebration of love, and to please set aside political and personal beliefs and accept every one of our guests during this happy occasion. Would this be appropriate? I don’t know how else to convey the message we will not tolerate any hateful or offensive remarks or actions against our loved ones. – Bride for Marriage Equality Dear Bride: Do not post that message on your website. Your message should be delivered via a telephone conversation with the people you think may have a problem. A way to phrase it would be to tell them you are planning your wedding and some of the guests in attendance will be same-sex couples. Ask if this would make them uncomfortable, and if the answer is yes, do not invite them.

Dear Abby: My darling husband recently passed away. It’s a sad time for all of us. I wrote his obituary for our local paper and included the names of charitable causes, requesting donations be sent to them in lieu of flowers. I sent the obituary to my husband’s mother and sister who live out of state, in case they wanted to publish it in their local paper in the town where he grew up. They did, but changed the charities to ones of their choice. They didn’t tell me they were doing it or ask my opinion. I found out only when I saw his obituary online.

I am extremely upset, especially because one of the causes they listed is a hospital I feel contributed to my husband’s early death. What is the etiquette in this situation? Was it acceptable for them to make that change? Should I say something, or should I let it go? – Wounded

Lab Mix “Missy”

Brian Tracy, a motivational public speaker and self-development author, said, “Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”

At the bridge table, you will occasionally be in an awkward position, maybe even one that you have not faced before. Then, how do you decide what to do?

Look at today’s South hand. It is strong and you are hoping to have a lengthy, informative auction with your partner, when annoyingly East opens three spades -- yes, spades!

What would be your call, given that only your side is vulnerable?

It is not obvious what to do: pass, double, three no-trump or some number of diamonds. Each could be the winner.

At the table in the 2016 Yeh Online World Bridge Cup, Shih Juei Yu (South for the Yeh team) overcalled three no-trump, which would be a popular choice. Then, though, the auction ran out of control. Wang Ping (North) bid four hearts, South corrected to five diamonds, North continued higher with six clubs, and South tried six diamonds. West lost patience and doubled, eventually collecting 800.

At the other table, East passed as dealer, Agustin Madala (South for Lavazza) opened one spade, West made a debatable takeout double, Benedicte Cronier (North) responded two clubs, East unwisely advanced with two hearts, South made a takeout double, and North happily passed.

This also went down three, minus 500, giving Lavazza 16 international match points en route to the title.

Misfits are miserable.

Say 9 Hail Marys with lighted candle everyday for 9 days.

Pray whether you believe or not.

On the 9th day publish.

What to watch NHL: Edmonton at Blackhawks, 6 p.m., CSN The Hawks have had six days off since beating the Oilers, 5-1, in Edmonton.

PALATINE – Prairie Ridge gymnastics coach Lee Battaglia feared the Wolves’ chance at a third consecutive team state championship were gone after three falls on the balance beam, their first event.

He did not share those thoughts, however, with his team. He lied.

“I thought, ‘Oh, man, it’s over. We’re done,’ ” Battaglia said. “I went back and told the kids the complete opposite. I said, ‘We’re right there, we just can’t miss the rest of the way.’ And they didn’t.”

Senior Nikki Baars led the way, winning the all-around and qualifying for the finals in all four events. Sophomore Maddy Kim turned in her best performance of the postseason. Sophomores Kira Karlblom and Clancy Raupp also came through with solid routines and Prairie Ridge left the IHSA Girls Gymnastics State Meet on Friday at Palatine High School knowing it will bring the big trophy home again.

Team scores can change in Saturday’s individual event finals, but the Wolves’ lead is insurmountable with 148.7 points. DeKalb (146.875) is second and Glenbrook South (146.575) is third.

Prairie Ridge is a co-op team that draws athletes from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge.

“We got off to a shaky start, but everyone knew we had to fight for it,” said Baars, a senior at C-G. “If we didn’t fight for what we wanted, it wasn’t going to happen. Everyone fought for what they wanted and rose to it. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

DeKalb, the 2016 state runner-up, was a slight favorite coming into the meet and led by .275 after the balance beam.

The Barbs had a subpar showing in floor exercise, which left the door open for Prairie Ridge. After the vault, the Wolves held a lead of .85, and Battaglia’s outlook had dramatically shifted.

“If somebody would have said we would be up by .85 before we went to bars, after the beam we had, I would have said, ‘You are coo-coo,’ ” Battaglia said. “It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. I knew when we got to bars, it’s going to be hard for us to drop.

They’ve just been rock-solid all year on bars. I felt real good when we got there.”

Kim, who attends Prairie Ridge, wound up tied for 10th in the all-around at 37.25, while Karlblom, also from Prai-

Baars scored 38.075 to edge Glenbrook South’s Hannah Hartley (38.025) for the all-around title. Those results are final after Friday’s competition.

Local wrestlers who will compete for state titles Saturday in Champaign (by weight class): Class 2A 132: Anthony Randazzo, Marian Central 138: Lenny Petersen, Crystal Lake Central 145: Gavin Sutton, Richmond-Burton 170: Joe Mier, Marengo

came down to the wire. Late in the third period of overtime, Mier was reversed to fall behind by a point. He managed a reversal of his own at the buzzer to beat Manteno’s Stevie Silva, 4-3, and advance to his first final.

“I knew I had to keep moving,” Mier said. “It’s never over until that last buzzer, and I knew each time that I needed to finish the period. … I knew my conditioning is good, I’ve wrestled some tough wrestlers throughout the season and I knew if I just kept grinding I’d come out on top.

Mier will face top-seeded and undefeated Jake Lanning of Pontiac in the finals.

The area’s other two finalists are much more well-acquainted with state place matches. Petersen and Sutton are both four-time qualifiers, previous place-winners, and last year they met for the 138-pound 2A title. Petersen won that match by fall for his first title, handing Sutton his second career runner-up.

This year they are at different weights and both back in finals, Petersen at 138 again and Sutton at 145.

“The only thing different really is

just enjoying the experience more, knowing it’s my senior year, having some fun and just enjoying the whole experience,” Sutton said.

Petersen, looking to defend his title, has been in control all weekend and won his semifinal with a third-period pin of Chicago Washington’s Baan Rachel.

Petersen has won all three of his state tournament matches by either fall or technical fall.

“This year isn’t about just winning matches, it’s about dominating matches no matter who it’s against,” Petersen said.

Sutton has been similarly dominant this weekend, reaching the final with a 14-5 major decision over Lemont’s Egan Berta after pinning and winning by major decision in his previous matches. In his second state final, Sutton will face top-seeded and undefeated Mikie Hartnett of Morton.

“It means everything,” Sutton said.

“Especially after coming up short last year. It’s all I’ve been working for these past four years, and I’m ready to take it home.”

Five other local wrestlers – Maren-

go’s Landen Pfieffer (2A 106), Harvard’s Josh Fiegel (2A 126), Prairie Ridge’s Trey Piotrowski (2A 138), Marian Central’s Luke Silva (2A 152) and Huntley’s David Ferrante (3A 152) – won their quarterfinals earlier in the day to assure themselves a medal but lost in the semifinals.

Ferrante, a freshman, lost his semifinal by first-round pin to undefeated three-time defending champion Austin O’Connor of St. Rita.

“That’s why we come here, to get the best guys, I’m glad I got a shot at it,” Ferrante said.

Wrestlers who lost in the championship semifinals will drop into the semifinal round of the consolation bracket and are guaranteed at least a top-six finish.

Earlier in the day, 11 local wrestlers won their first-round consolation matches to stay in contention for another day. In 2A, those advancing to Saturday morning’s consolation quarterfinals were Crystal Lake Central’s Brock Montford, Austin Ernd, Liam O’Donnell and Seamus O’Donnell; Harvard’s Keenan Brummett and Marty Krasinski; and Prairie Ridge’s Drake Regenhardt and Nick Fetzner.

In 3A, Huntley’s Zach Spencer, McHenry’s Jaden Glauser and DundeeCrown’s Chase Raap lost quarterfinal matches in the morning and dropped into the consolation bracket but won their first-round consolation match to move on to Saturday.

“At this point right now, the only thing I’m really thinking is ‘Oh, this is my senior year, if I lose again I’m done,’ ” Raap said. “I don’t want to be done yet.

That’s honestly all that was going on in my mind before that match and during.”

enough to catch the Wolves. The Barbs had beaten Prairie Ridge in an invitational and outscored them in last week’s sectional meet.

“We were a little off (on floor exercise) today,” DeKalb coach Andy Morreale said. “When your two horses (Aleah Leman and Madison Hickey) don’t even make finals … that kept us from being close to Prairie Ridge. Prairie Ridge looked really good. Our girls wanted to be a little closer. We’re like the Bulls when (Michael) Jordan was

trying to get over the Pistons (to the NBA title) and kept falling short. Some day we’ll do it.”

In the meantime, Prairie Ridge was as steady as it could be after the beam.

Baars landed her beam routine, which started, by Battaglia’s count, a string of 16 routines where he thought his girls performed at their top level.

Baars was third in the all-around last year but did not expect to win it this time.

“I’m a little shocked by it,” she said.

“I didn’t think I did as well as I did at sectional. But I’m coming back tomorrow. Work hard, improve, you can always get better.”

Battaglia was not as surprised by Baars’ all-around title.

“Nikki’s a competitor. She competes,” he said. “I got that from her when she went to Nationals at Level 9 (in 2015). That’s part of the sport. You can’t just learn new tricks, you have to perform them, and Nikki is a performer. She did it.”

• Saturday, February 18, 2017

CHAMPAIGN – Marian Central junior Anthony Randazzo’s first trip to the state tournament, as a freshman two years ago, ended after one match: a narrow loss to Bloomington’s Savion Haywood, who went on to place that year.

Last year, Randazzo qualified again, and although he lasted a couple of matches longer, he again didn’t place.

When this year’s bracket was released, Randazzo, making his third consecutive trip to Champaign, didn’t shy away from looking ahead a little. He saw a familiar name, Haywood, on his side of the Class 2A 132-pound draw and said he “dreamed” about the rematch he knew he’d likely get if he reached the semifinals.

With a quarterfinal pin Friday morning, Randazzo got his shot at Haywood, now ranked No. 2 in the weight class and a two-time place-winner.

“I told Anthony, I said, ‘Hey you’re just as good as he is. He’s just another kid that’s 132 pounds out there, and that’s it,’ Marian coach David Silva said.

“I said, ‘We’re going to jump on him, we’re going to jump on him early.’ Anthony is one of those kids that he really believes what I tell him, and he believed it, and it showed out in the match.”

With a third-period pin Friday night, Randazzo got his revenge and qualified for his first state final.

“I felt it there. I took it over and I did not let that go,” Randazzo said. There’s no way I was letting that go. I wanted that so bad.”

Randazzo is one of four local wrestlers who won their semifinal matches Friday night at the State Farm Center in Champaign. Also advancing to championship final matches are Crystal Lake Central senior Lenny Petersen (2A 138), Richmond-Burton senior Gavin Sutton (2A 145) and Marengo senior Joe Mier (2A 170). The grand march and championship finals are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Golden Eagles alone atop FVC Rebounds help Jacobs avenge loss to Wolves

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Maybe a loss wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

That’s what Jacobs boys basketball coach Jimmy Roberts thought after his team avenged its lone loss – at the hands of Prairie Ridge on Jan. 14 – with a 61-54 win over the Wolves on Friday in Crystal Lake.

“I wish we were sitting here at 250, but I think that loss did something for us,” Roberts said Friday. “Our kids have responded since then. You start out 14-0, drop one, come back and go on another stretch. It’s a credit to our kids.

They really felt something after that [first] PR game.”

Jacobs (24-1, 13-1 Fox Valley Conference) jumped out to a 28-14 halftime lead Friday, in large part because of the

Prairie Ridge scored 26 points in a furious fourth-quarter rally, but couldn’t quite overcome Jacobs’ lead, which reached as many as 22 points.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The Eagles hold sole possession of first place in the Fox Valley Conference with two games to play. Jacobs closes out the regular season at home against McHenry on Tuesday and at home Friday on senior night against Dundee-Crown.

Golden Eagles’ 30-5 rebound advantage in the first half.

“We watched film from the last game [against Prairie Ridge] and realized none of us were crashing the boards at all,” Jacobs center Cameron Krutwig said. “We made it a key this game to crash the glass.”

Krutwig led the way with 19 rebounds, which was still short of his season high of 23. He also scored 15 points.

Prairie Ridge (18-7, 12-2) didn’t have an answer for the Eagles’ size inside.

The Wolves missed 6-foot-3 forward Kyle Loeding, who is out for the season with a knee injury.

“We just couldn’t keep them off the boards in the first half,” Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card said. “The second half we got a little bit of flow. But they’re big.”

With the win, the Eagles now have sole possession of first place in the FVC with two games to play. They are looking for their third consecutive FVC title.

While the Eagles extended their lead to 20 by the end of the third quarter, Prairie Ridge would not go away.

Trevor Potter scored 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter. He made three 3-pointers and converted all three free throws on a foul beyond the arc. Potter, however, fouled out in the final minute.

It didn’t matter, however, because the rally ran out of time. The Wolves cut Jacobs’ lead to six with 9.2 seconds remaining, but no miracle was in store.

“In the second half, we scrapped a

little bit better and got a little more flow on offense,” Card said.

Potter’s 16 led the Wolves. Senior guard Brian Dorn, who missed the two previous games with an illness, scored 13. Senior forward Austen Ferbet scored 12 points, including a pair of mid-range jumpers.

Krutwig’s 15 was surpassed by Ryan Phillips’ 16 points with 14 coming in the second half. He drained three of his four 3-pointers in the third quarter to help extend the lead to 20.

“He’s been doing that for about four, five or six games,” Roberts said. “He’s played big in big games. I’m happy to see it for him because he’s a really, really good player and I think everybody’s starting to see some of the things he can do.”

Cooper Schwartz made three 3-pointers and scored 13 points. Mason Materna grabbed nine rebounds.

The Eagles now control their own destiny in the FVC. “It’s not over yet,” Krutwig said. “I obviously want to win it. We have to take care of business Tuesday and Friday. We’re only up one game now. Anything can happen, but we’re obviously on a good path.”

Woodstock never trailed again in a 52-47 Kishwaukee River Conference victory at James M. Shipley gymnasium, sweeping the regular-season series.

The crosstown rivals found out earlier in the day that they will play each other for a third time Feb. 27 in the opening round of the Class 3A Richmond-Burton Regional.

The 5-foot-8 Bridges led the Streaks (11-16, 6-5 KRC) with 22 points on 7-of15 shooting and made a game-high six 3-pointers. He credited his teammates for finding him in the fourth.

“I thought we started moving the ball around a lot better in the second half,” said Bridges, who had three 3s in the fourth. “We just made some adjustments, and we were able to find the open guy.

“It feels good to win (on senior night) for all of the seniors.”

The teams were tied 28-all at halftime and at 36 after the third quarter.

North, paced by 22 points and 16 rebounds from 6-foot-3 junior guard Collin Mergl, was forced to foul down the

stretch.

Each time, the Streaks made sure to get the ball to Bridges, who helped seal the win with a pair of free throws.

Mikey Gardner had nine points on three 3s, and Josh Turner (six rebounds) and Matt Shook added six points apiece.

“We’re going to be playing them again at regionals, so we had to come out and show them that we can beat them again,” said senior Justin Leith, who scored seven points with five rebounds. “It’s senior night, last home game, so I wanted to leave it all out there and get every loose ball.”

Mergl made a long 3-pointer in the final seconds to finish the scoring for the Thunder (5-18, 2-8 KRC). Zach Ramirez had seven points and six rebounds in the loss, Ryan Medina had six, and Vic Ortiz was held to five points.

“I think we didn’t take care of the ball on a few possessions when we had the lead in the fourth,” North coach Steve Ryan said. “They hit some big shots, and we just had some breakdowns in our offensive and defensive sets that we were running.”

Swinging the bat as a high school softball player meant taking cuts at full force for Carly Mattson.

“I’ve always wanted to swing for the fences,” said Mattson, a McHenry East graduate. “I’d swing my hardest and hope it would go out.”

As a freshman last season at Tennessee’s Austin Peay State University, Mattson was advised by a teammate Carly Mattson to start cutting down on her ferocious swing.

“I started swinging at about 80 percent and started hitting more to the opposite field,” she said. “Once I got comfortable with that, I could then swing as hard as I could and actually see the ball.”

After batting .244 with four homers last season, Mattson started her sophomore season with a bang last week.

While helping her team go 3-1 at the Phyllis Rafter Memorial Tournament in Kennesaw, Georgia, Mattson batted .615 with three homers, two doubles and six RBIs. She tied a school record with two home runs in a game, against Kennesaw State.

On Monday, Mattson was named CoOhio Valley Conference Softball Player of the Week.

It was the first weekly league honor for an APSU player since 2015.

“I’m not swinging for the fences every time,” she said. “It’s what I’d been doing all the way through high school and travel ball.”

With college experience has come more patience and quick thinking for

doubles.

The day after her dramatic homer, Martens was 2 for 3 with an RBI in a 6-3 victory against Central Florida.

Bradley bopper: Megan Mahaffy (Crystal Lake Central) pitched in 25 games last season for D-I Bradley University’s softball team but never picked up a bat.

Her first collegiate at-bat resulted in a home run in a 9-1 victory against Northern Colorado last weekend, and she followed with a home run and three RBIs the next day in a 5-4 win over Grand Canyon.

Playing shortstop for the Braves (1-4) during the season-opening weekend, Mahaffy batted .750 in three games with a team-high five RBIs. She also pitched two-thirds of an inning in relief.

8 BLACKHAWKS

Hawks rested, but might be rusty, too

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Patrick Kane took a couple of true days off before hitting the hotel gym in Mexico. Trevor van Riemsdyk kept loose with some yoga moves on the beach. Joel Quenneville hit the slopes in Vail, Colorado.

And poor Brian Campbell was run ragged by his two little daughters during a stay-cation in the western suburbs.

“It’s nice to be able to be home and help out and take a little bit of the load off my wife,” Campbell said. “And realize how tiring it is being at home, compared to being here.”

Campbell even gave a little “What does your dad do?” presentation at his daughter’s school. Not all the kids knew who he was, or even what a Chicago Blackhawk was, but they at least found good uses for the mini-sticks he brought for everyone.

The five-day bye week – the first of its kind, negotiated into the collective bargaining agreement for this season – offered the Hawks a physical and mental respite from the

The Hawks after back in action Saturday after being off for a week. grueling monotony of the NHL regular season. Given how condensed the schedule is, and how brutal the home stretch will be – 17 games in the last 30 days starting March 9 – the timing was ideal. Given how well the Hawks were playing before they were forced off the ice – five straight victories to close out the annual ice-show

trip – it wasn’t so ideal.

Compounding matters is the alarming rate at which teams are losing after their bye weeks. And the blowout fashion in which they’re losing. Through Thursday night, teams are 15-5-0 in their last game before the bye, and 3-9-1 in their first game back. And it’s only getting worse. In Feb-

ruary, teams are 0-5-0 in their first game back, trailing by a combined 19-3 through two periods.

Getting back to game speed so quickly is the primary concern, and that’s what Quenneville tried to do with a brief but scrimmage-heavy practice Friday afternoon – the team’s first time on the ice since Feb. 11 in Edmonton. Because Connor McDavid and Co. surely are going to try to push the pace immediately in the return match at the United Center.

“Teams haven’t done too well out of the bye break, so we’ll just try to keep it simple,” Kane said. “That’s the biggest thing. I’m sure as the game goes along, we’ll probably get a little more comfortable, too.

But definitely keep it simple at the start.”

Goaltenders face the toughest challenge. All Corey Crawford will have is Friday’s practice and a quick early morning skate Saturday to get his timing back before facing the high-octane Oilers.

“The first thing is, are the goalies going to be quick, and how’s their timing going to

be, not seeing pucks for some time,” Quenneville said. “Some guys stand on their head when they come out of it, and some may need a little while to get their feet under them. It’s tough to forecast that, but that’s probably the one area you might keep an eye on.”

The bye week did allow Minnesota to finally catch up to the Hawks in games played – although the Wild’s bye week starts Wednesday, which again will skew the standings – giving the Hawks a better idea of where they stand entering the home stretch. The Wild are seven points up on the Hawks, with another matchup looming Tuesday in St. Paul.

So with only 25 games left in the regular season, there’s no time to slowly get back into game shape.

“We want to get off to a good start here, playing three (games) in four (days),” Campbell said. “Obviously, you don’t want to look too far ahead, but Minnesota’s one of the games at the end there, so that’s another huge game for us. We’ve got to keep finding ways to put points in the bank.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Frazier not resigned to losing during rebuild

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – As you might expect, White Sox players aren’t what you’d call “all in” on the rebuilding theme of this spring training.

Yes, the Sox traded Chris Sale and Adam Eaton for prospects and are expected to make more deals. But a quiet two months have passed since those trades. And this being spring training, where hope springs eternal, the group assembling for the first full squad workout Saturday isn’t giving in to defeat.

“Why not?” third baseman Todd Frazier said Friday when asked if the Sox can win. “It comes from being a baseball player. In this game, you never know what can happen. Still pick up a guy here and there, you never know.”

Of course, the Sox could unload a guy here or there, from what Frazier calls “a good core,” minus Eaton. And don’t forget Sale, a loss Frazier found upsetting.

“We need someone to step up and be our center fielder or right fielder and we’ll be all right,” Frazier said.

“I don’t like that word rebuild. I talk about refueling.”

Frazier, in the last year of his contract, could be dealt for a decent return, but the market for power-hitting corner infielders isn’t warm right now.

That could change near the deadline. Or it could change sooner with an Todd Frazier injury to a key player on a team with designs on contending.

Frazier clubbed 40 homers and drove in 98 runs in his first season with the Sox, but his batting average (.225) and on-base percentage (.302) were career lows for a full season. He struck out a career-high 163 times.

His areas to improve?

“Basically everything,” he said.

“It’s a new year, man. I just try and build off what I did last year. Think

about the positives. The home runs, RBI, all that stuff, but I need to try and hit the ball to right field more. Get the average back up, on-base percentage, little stuff like that we need to work on together as a team.”

Call the team what you want, but Frazier won’t call it “rebuilding.”

“I’m not either,” manager Rick Renteria said. “I know we talk about it, it would be foolish for me to say to anybody that it’s not. No, it is. The question is, how do we approach our daily routine to have these guys maximize their ability to learn and execute on a daily basis to give ourselves a chance to win today?

“There’s no player on the face of this earth that comes to the ballpark saying today, ‘It’s OK if we lose.’ When you say ‘rebuild,’ many people might equate rebuilding with accepting losing. No, no one accepts losing.”

Certainly not Frazier, who avoided arbitration by signing a one-year, $12 million deal in the offseason. He’ll be

playing to win, and for a big contract in free agency next winter.

“I’ve thought about it,” he said.

“Not to the extent where it’s going to bother me the whole year. Let’s work on this year, right now. When the time comes, let’s see what happens. Chicago is a nice place to play. and I’d like to play here.”

Notes: Carlos Rodon threw for the first time Friday, taking about 30 light tosses before stretching and taking part in pitchers fielding drills as he has been doing all week. Rodon is taking it light to the extreme of not even making short throws in fielding drills, but said he is “100 percent” healthy and following the team’s plan to ease into the season. Much as Chris Sale did last season, Rodon will see limited Cactus League game action and do much of his work on backfields, he said. ... An early arrival to camp, Frazier said the sprained pointer finger on his left hand is fine. “I’ve been hitting every day,” he said.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By BRUCE MILES

Steve Lundy – slundy@dailyherald.com

Cubs shortstop Addison Russell claps after a Javy Baez bunt in the fourth inning in Game 5 of the World Series on Oct. 30 at Wrigley Field. then the World Series run, it all hit me at once. It was overbearing, kind of. I started crying. That’s when it sunk in.

It was just a magical moment.

“I couldn’t even really talk. I had the family around me. It’s just kind of the way that I was brought up, too. It’s very good to see that nothing has really changed. It’s like a surreal moment right there. It really sunk everything in whenever the tears were coming

down my face. I think that was one of the more happy moments of my life.”

Russell has impressed everyone around the Cubs with his aplomb since they acquired him in a trade with Oakland in July 2014.

Russell hit a grand slam in Game 6 of the World Series, and after the game he sat on stage and calmly talked about his exploits in front of the national me• Follow Miles’ reports from spring dia at Cleveland’s Progressive Field. training via Twitter@BruceMiles2112.

CUBS NOTES

For Lester, Contreras, it’s all about repetition

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Left-hander Jon Lester comes to Cubs spring training with a lot of credibility.

He won two World Series with the Boston Red Sox before being the staff ace of last year’s world championship Cubs team.

Still, Lester has some things to work on this spring. His personal catcher, David Ross, has retired, and Lester will spend the spring getting used to working with young catcher Willson Contreras.

“I think whoever it was, just being able to throw to him,” Lester said Friday. “That’s what it comes down to.

Rossy and I just didn’t jump in and all of a sudden click. It took a few starts for us to kind of hammer some things out and him getting used to some things I like to

do and vice versa. I think that’s all it really comes down to, is just pitching, time on the mound, time behind the plate.

“Willson is a smart kid, and he cares, and he wants to get better.

He’s eager to please.

I think he has all the attributes to be a really good catcher in this Jon Lester league for a long time. I don’t think there’s going to be much of a learning curve.”

Lester also spent significant time on a back field Friday working on fielding grounders and throwing to first base, and also on throwing to first on pickoff attempts. Throwing after fielding and pickoff throws has been a problem for Lester through much of his career, but he and Ross were able to limit opposing

teams’ running games the past two years with the Cubs.

“I’ve been pretty open about it since Day 1,” Lester said. “I’m not the one who keeps bringing it up, other than that joke (he made about it on Twitter). It is what it is. It’s nothing to hide from. It’s there.

I’ll just keep worrying about throwing it 60 feet, 6 inches.”

Manager Joe Maddon had an interesting perspective on it.

“Sometimes we get caught up in dealing with what we don’t do well, and while you’re doing that, you don’t really reinforce what you do well,” Maddon said. “I made the point that I want you to continue to work on what you do well as a pitcher. Of course, address those items that aren’t your strong point, but not to the point where you get so obsessed with it that takes away from what you do well.

I think for a while there, that’s what hap-

pened.

“John is so good at throwing the ball from the rubber to the plate that I don’t want anything to get in the way of that.”

Back behind the plate: Kyle Schwarber took one session as a catcher Friday, working with pitcher John Lackey. The Cubs are going to ease Schwarber into catching in the wake of his recovery from last April’s knee surgery.

“Of course he wanted to do more, and we said no,” Maddon said. “Yeah, that was planned, on one knee primarily.”

Schwarber will get most of his reps in left field this spring while working one or two days behind the plate.

The quote: Maddon came up with this one when talking about getting work in during spring training: “There are still a lot of days left in February, which is a compliment to February because it’s so short.”

MESA, Ariz. – Not many 22-yearolds get handed the key to their home city.

That happened this offseason in Pensacola, Florida, for Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, and the way things are going for this now 23-year-old, he might be able to call the world his own before too long.

Even at his tender age, Russell is one of the stalwarts of a world-champion team. His star has been rising for the past couple of years, and it sparkled during the World Series.

Now, everywhere he goes, people notice.

“This whole fame thing is completely new to me,” he said Friday as position players officially reported for spring training. “It’s all very cool stuff.

I get to go home, and there was Addison Russell Day at Pace High School in November.

“There’s a lot to take in. There’s so much I want to tell my parents, but I just can’t seem to find the time, because everything’s going.”

Russell said there was a point when it all hit him.

“I remember this past offseason going into my mom’s room and laying down on her bed,” he said. “That’s when all the memories of this past year, all the way from spring training to the middle of the season, all-star and

“It happens all so quick,” he said.

“It’s really hard to even grasp it.

Whenever you’re in that type of situation, there’s something in the back of your mind that says, ‘Remember this.

Remember this.’ Then you do.”

Russell can get used to the fame and being noticed in places such as airports around the country. He made his first all-star team last season on the way to putting up a regular-season batting line of .238/.321/.417 with 21 homers and 95 RBIs and playing stellar defense. After going 1 for 15 in the division series against the Giants, Russell was 6 for 22 with two homers against the Dodgers in the championship series. He was 6 for 27 with the grand slam and nine RBIs in the World Series.

Although this fame thing is new to him, Russell said he could get used to it.

“I love it,” he said. “Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be on the big screen. But it was a matter of getting there. I think a good work ethic, a great work ethic, a lot of confidence and a lot of supporters, and I definitely owe a thanks to all my fans.

This is all so new. I’m just looking to build off of it and create a positive motive. If I could do that and maybe touch a kid’s life here and there, that’s the ultimate goal.”

LOS ANGELES – Wind, rain and the snap of a large tree limb were enough to stop play Friday in the second round of the Genesis Open.

Sam Saunders remained atop the leaderboard without ever hitting a shot Friday at Riviera.

Jhonattan Vegas joined him at 7-under par and was all too happy to wait until Saturday morning – maybe – to complete his second round. The wind made it difficult to pick the right club. The rain made it difficult to gauge the speed on the greens.

But it was the crack of a eucalyptus tree that made PGA Tour officials sound the horn to get players – and spectators – off the course.

Cameron Percy of Australia was among 24 players who finished his second round. He shot a 71 and was at 5-under 137. Zac Blair and Martin Laird each shot 68 to reach 4 under.

Very much in the mix was Jordan Spieth at 5 under with two holes to play.

Coming off a victory at Pebble Beach last week, he was headed for his 19th consecutive round under par on the PGA Tour.

Hideki Matsuyama, who had a mathematical chance to reach No. 1 in the

world with a victory, returned Friday morning to complete the first round and made three straight birdies for a 68.

He likely will have to finish with three straight birdies Saturday to make the cut. Matsuyama was 6 over through 15 holes.

12 NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND

Kerr embraces chance to speak out

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – Stick to sports? No way Steve Kerr is going to do that.

The Golden State Warriors coach, a forthright guy going back to days as a guard on the Bulls’ 1996-98 championship teams, has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, the process by which Trump was elected and Trump’s controversial immigration ban. “The whole process has left us feeling kind of disgusted and disappointed. I thought we were better than this,” Kerr said in a pregame rant just after the election.

And he’s not going to “stick to sports” just because he’s a basketball coach.

“If you go by that mantra, then everybody should stick to whatever they’re doing. That means nobody’s allowed to have a political opinion,” said Kerr, who will coach the West team in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. “It just so happens that we get these microphones stuck in our faces, so we have a bigger platform.

“But it’s free speech. And if you look at the history of the world, the biggest problems come when people don’t speak.

So I think it’s important to express your views.”

Political and social activism is a topical issue at this year’s All-Star Game because the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver moved the game from Charlotte to New Orleans to protest the North Carolina legislature’s “bathroom law” that banned transgender people from using

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been vocal in his criticism of President Donald Trump. bathrooms in accordance with their gender identity.

“The NBA, I think, is at the forefront of social activism as far as the major sports are concerned,” Kerr said. “I’m very proud of he work that Adam Silver’s doing and the league’s doing. They back up what they believe in, and I think that’s important.”

Social activism – actually any activism – in the sports world can be dicey.

For fans who literally turn to sports as a diversion and escape from the polarity of

Jim Brown; the civil rights movement; Vietnam.

“Those were things happening that were powerful and chaotic and [the] times called for leadership. I think the same thing’s happening now.”

And as Stephen Curry showed recently, you don’t have to be an activist to take a stand. When Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank appeared to publicly embrace Trump’s agenda, Curry was among the Under Armour athletes who protested. Plank later clarified his remarks as relating to Trump’s business policies only – using a full-page ad in the Baltimore Sun to include the point that he is opposed to the president’s immigration ban.

That Curry said he was more interested in “promoting change” than “selling shoes” struck a chord with Kerr, a teammate of Michael Jordan, who in Sam Smith’s book, “Second Coming,” avoided supporting a black U.S. Senate candidate against Jesse Helms in North Carolina because “Republicans buy shoes, too.”

“For a long time, a lot of athletes have kind of stayed out of the political forum, out of fear of losing customers,” Kerr said. “I think it’s refreshing that we have athletes who are putting their social agenda, social beliefs ahead of any marketing issues. And I think that’s powerful.”

political discourse, coaches and players breaking that wall can be a turn-off. But as Kerr noted, these are extraordinary times that almost compel or demand even athletes and coaches to speak up.

“I think it’s important because of what’s happening in the world, what’s happening in our government,” Kerr said. “If you look at the history of athletes’ involvement in social issues, it’s been most prominent at the most prom• Follow Mark Potash on Twitter inent times of need – the ’60s and ’70s, you look at Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell, @MarkPotash.

NBA ALL-STAR NOTES

Jordan’s legacy remains strong for today’s All-Stars

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – Michael Jordan turned 54 on Friday, and although fewer and fewer of today’s NBA players saw Jordan play in his glory days with the Bulls, his reputation as “the best there ever was” still resonates with them.

“There will never be another Mike,” said Pacers forward Glenn Robinson III, who will participate at the NBA AllStar Game dunk contest Saturday night.

“The stuff he did was amazing. I don’t think anybody’s seen that type of talent, that type of will to win. Kobe (Bryant) was the last guy that kind of had that.

So it’ll be interesting to see if that legacy kind of changes.”

Although he’s only 23, Robinson has actual MJ memories. His father, Glenn

“Big Dog” Robinson, was a two-time AllStar who averaged 23.4 points a game for the Bucks in Jordan’s final season with the Bulls in 1997-98 – and once matched a 44-point Jordan output with 44 of his own.

Robinson III recalled going to a BucksBulls game at the Unit- Glenn ed Center. “You know Robinson III those “MISS” signs you hold up when they shoot the free throws?

I asked him to sign the “MISS” sign,” Robinson said. He said he still has the framed, signed sign.

“It’s at my house,” he said. “That’s something I’ll keep forever.”

Current Bulls All-Star Jimmy Butler was not so fortunate back then but has

more than made up for it as a Bull. “He’s always in my corner,” Butler said. “If I ever need somebody to talk about anything, I could pick up the phone and call him. Even though I’ve probably got a lot of other people I could bother every once in a while, I bother him.”

West coach Steve Kerr said players don’t ask him about having played with Jordan. But even as memories fade, the aura of Jordan is still going strong.

“Mike is Mike,” Butler said. “He’s an icon on the floor, off the floor. What he’s done for the city of Chicago, for the game of basketball … the guy’s incredible.”

Durant-Westbrook saga: The Thunder’s Russell Westbrook and the Warriors’ Kevin Durant will be teammates again at the All-Star Game, but a thaw in their frosty relationship is not imminent.

Asked about playing with his former teammate, Westbrook instead talked about … clothing.

“Man, you know what? Fashion week has been great,” Westbrook said. “You seen fashion week? You been paying attention to fashion week? Man, a lot of great looking things in fashion week.”

Butler is ‘OK’: Butler, who missed four games out of five with a heel injury before playing 38 minutes against the Raptors and 40 against the Celtics, said he is “OK” to play in the All-Star Game.

Butler has been limited by injuries in the previous two All-Star games – he scored six points in nine minutes in 2015 and did not play last year.

“I want to play,” Butler said. “I want to compete against the best, even though it’s a different type of game than a normal NBA game.”
