Good morning, McHenry County ...

Monopoly thimble never to pass GO again There are just some things you don’t mess with. 1970s folk-rock songwriter Jim Croce listed a few of them in his song, “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim:” 1) You don’t tug on Superman’s cape.

2) You don’t spit into the wind.

3) You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger.

Now, these observations made sense. Superman is unbeatable, the wind is uncontrollable, and the Lone Ranger is unidentifiable. They are so iconically eternal that one could never imagine announcing that Superman has leaped his last building, or the wind blew its last breath, or the Lone Ranger has ridden into his last sunset.

Yet, our lives are filled with quintessential things that have been brutally snatched from us … Woolworth’s, Pan Am, Romper Room, Studebaker, Rustler Steak House and Planter’s Cheez Balls. Not to mention tan-colored M&M’s.

They tried to do away with Twinkies, but they didn’t seriously think they could mess around with delicious golden sponge cake with creamy filling, did they? That snack was resurrected faster than a dropped Cheeto on the floor.

But that brings us to another icon that has been tossed over the precipice of stardom into the abyss of oblivion. It’s been around for more than 80 years, a part of the childhood of generations of Monopoly players.

It’s a token that took us from Baltic Avenue to Boardwalk. It gave us a ride on the Reading Railroad, a house on Marvin Gardens and a trip to jail. It passed GO and collected $200 for us.

It helped us dip into the Community Chest to inherit $100 and gave us a chance to advance to Illinois Avenue.

This token has circled the Monopoly board since 1935 as one of the original six beloved markers, alongside the top hat, the iron, the shoe, the battleship and the cannon. Eventually through the years others were added: the lantern, rocking horse, purse, race car, Scottie dog, horse and rider and wheelbarrow.

So which founding token am I talking about?

Well, if you read the title of this column, you already know. It’s the thimble, of course. Yep, recently the thimble was removed from the starring cast of Monopoly. Here’s how it went down …

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, sponsored a campaign last month to have the public choose the next eight tokens, evidently to select ones that were more “culturally relevant.” This meant the possibility of eliminating the classic ones we have loved over the decades.

Four million people voted and, although the final results will be revealed March 19 on World Monopoly Day, a teaser announcement declared that the thimble would not be one of the final eight tokens.

OK. The thimble is gone in all its delightfully dimpled glory. And it’s quite possible that this Monopageddon will mean the end of our other beloved tokens. Imagine a shoeless romp past Vermont Avenue, a hatless turn at the corner of Free Parking or a wheelbarrow-less stop at the B&O Railroad.

Well, if they’re set on replacing Monopolian icons for the sake of cultural relevance, why don’t we just throw Marvin Gardens to the wind and pick eight game pieces that everyone can relate to …

1) A person walking and staring at a cellphone 2) A credit card 3) A Starbuck’s latte cup 4) A video game controller 5) Bacon 6) Kim Kardashian 7) A leather recliner with cup holders 8) Any item from McDonald’s ValueMenu So go ahead and try to mess with the classic Monopoly tokens. You can snatch them off the board, but you can’t take them out of our hearts.

Just remember that a thimble’s worth of love is worth a lot more than a hotel on Boardwalk.

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. He once tried to pay his mortgage with Monopoly money and wound up owning a railroad and a green house on Oriental Avenue in Atlantic City. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

‘WE WANT A TOWN HALL’ Protesters converge on U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren’s office

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – Cloudy skies, blustery wind and a cold drizzle were no deterrent as about 100 people protested outside the Campton Hills district office of U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, brandishing signs demanding a town hall and occasionally chanting, “We want a town hall.”

This group and others held similar

demonstrations outside their GOP congressmen’s offices Thursday as part of an Illinois Day of Action sponsored by Indivisible, a national movement countering President Donald Trump’s initiatives and policies, particularly the proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Their signs carried various messages, such as that Hultgren, who represents a large portion of McHenry County, is missing in action or MIA, calling for a town hall and asking how

Several signs declared that they were

McHenry County coroner says death appears to be suicide

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man found dead in his apartment earlier this week with a self-inflicted injury was being investigated by the Woodstock Police Department for allegations of sexual assaulting at least one child.

Kevin B. Molthop, 57, was found dead at 4:21 p.m. Wednesday in his Kevin B. apartment in the 200 Molthop block of Fremont Street, Woodstock, according to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy performed Thursday revealed that Molthop died of an incision to his neck, which was determined to be a self-inflicted injury, McHenry County Coro-

Richmond police to offer Citizen Police Academy

RICHMOND – The Richmond Police Department will offer its Citizen Police Academy from 6 to 9 p.m. Mondays, April 3 through June 12, at the Richmond Village Hall and Police Department.

ner Anne Majewski said.

Toxicology testing was performed and results are pending, Majewski said. The death remains under investigation by all agencies.

The Woodstock Police Department’s Investigations Division was looking into a complaint against Molthop this week of an alleged predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, police said. Investigators got a warrant and searched Molthop’s apartment Tuesday.

Police took several items of “potential evidence,” according to a news release.

Investigators took Molthop to the Woodstock Police Department for questioning, but he was later released without any charges filed. Any possible charges were pending the results of evidence analysis, police said.

Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb

said Molthop had an “open door policy for juveniles.” The charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child typically deals with victims who are younger than 13.

Police said Molthop’s only contact with law enforcement was in the 1980s for a theft complaint outside of Woodstock.

Preliminary investigations into the felony charge have revealed there may be more than one victim, police said.

The Woodstock Police Department is asking community members to notify the investigations department by calling 815-338-2131 if they suspect Molthop has had contact with their child and have suspicions about the nature of the contact. The reason for doing so is to attempt to ensure any victims who come forward receive post-incident victim assistance, police said.

The free program is open to everyone and offers participants a look into the behind-the-scenes world of the daily functions of law enforcement.

Applications can be found on the village of Richmond website, www.richmond-il. com, the Richmond Police Department

Facebook page or at the Richmond Village Hall and Police Department.

For information, contact Officer Jennifer Fillicaro or Lt. Scott Adams at the Richmond Police Department or call 815-6784163.

Huntley has bought and is demolishing the Kelley House at 11708 Coral St. BBQ King Smokehouse in Woodstock is looking to potentially open a second location there, with space for two more retail businesses.

BBQ King Smokehouse plans second location in Huntley

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – A house at 11708 Coral St. in Huntley that has fallen into disrepair could be replaced with a BBQ King Smokehouse and two retail businesses.

At Thursday’s Village Board meeting, Huntley trustees unanimously approved a bid to demolish the village-owned house, known as the Kelley House, for $24,821 and restore the site.

Trustees also gave authorization to begin negotiations to redevelop the site into a multi-tenant retail and restaurant space.

Jason Szmurlo, owner of BBQ King Smokehouse in Woodstock, came before the board to present preliminary plans for the 7,640-square-foot building that would include his restaurant’s second location and two other retailers.

“I live close and I’ve got family in Huntley, and I just kind of knew that was the next place we were going to

Panel planned on feminism in the YA world

WOODSTOCK – A discussion on feminism, young adult literature and more will be at 7 p.m. March 15 at Read Between the Lynes, 111 E. Van Buren St., Woodstock.

The event will feature panelists Kelly Jensen, Mikki Kendall, EM Kokie and Laura Ruby. “Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World” (edited by Kelly Jensen) is a scrapbook-style teen guide to understanding what it means to be a 21st century feminist. It’s filled with contri-

go,” Szmurlo said on why he chose the village.

The restaurant won first place in June at the Chicago Ribfest for the “Best Ribs Juried by Our Celebrity Judges” category.

While the entire facade would have the appearance of a two-story building, the two approximately 1,500-squarefoot retail spaces would only have ground floor uses. The restaurant would be about 4,700 square feet on the first floor, and 2,940 square feet on the second floor, according to village documents.

“The challenge here is to make this fit within the context of that Main Street kind of look, and make it look like three separate buildings, one for each tenant,” project architect David Gillespie said. “And it’s not just the building, but it’s also the lifestyle. This building needs to be inviting and have a relationship with the square.”

The building’s front will be on Coral Street, and include a patio area for out-

door dining, which would be enclosed by a wrought iron fence, according to preliminary plans.

Trustee Niko Kanakaris suggested the building include office space on the second floor, but Szmurlo said two retailers interested in the spaces planned on using the high ceilings. He would not name tenants interested in the retail space.

Szmurlo said it’s too soon to say when the restaurant’s second location may open. Village Manager Dave Johnson said the structure should be razed by the end of March, and after the demolition, surveying and design engineering services for the site’s redevelopment would be completed.

The Village Board also approved proposals for surveying and design engineering services at the site not to exceed $55,000, according to village documents.

The project is part of Huntley’s continued efforts to revitalize its downtown.

The retirement of the supervisor and an effort to end a family’s half-century hold on the highway commissioner’s office makes the Algonquin Township Republican primary an interesting one.

Republican voters in the township will go to the polls Tuesday to select nominees to advance to the April 4 election – only the office of assessor is uncontested, but the lone candidate also is succeeding a longtime incumbent.

Townships have three statutory responsibilities under Illinois law – assess property, maintain township roads and distribute aid to those in need.

The decision of Supervisor Dianne Klemm not to seek re-election has opened seats down the ballot as other township officials seek to succeed her.

Current Village Clerk Charles Lutzow Jr. and Crystal Lake City Council member Ellen Brady Mueller are running to succeed Klemm, who has held the office since 2000. Current township trustee Melissa Sanchez-Fisher and

former Cary Village Board member Karen Lukasik are running to replace Lutzow as clerk.

Highway Commissioner Robert Miller, who has held the office since 1993, faces a challenge from McHenry County Board member Andrew Gasser, who also is the chairman of the Algonquin Township Republican Party.

Gasser has openly criticized alleged nepotism in department hiring, and last year spearheaded the township GOP to formally adopt a resolution condemning the practice. Miller’s wife and two sons-in-law also are on the payroll, each making at least $90,000 a year.

The office of highway commissioner has been in Miller’s family since the mid-1960s – Miller’s father, and his father’s father-in-law, previously held it.

Robert Miller first joined the highway department as an employee in 1972.

Two incumbents and five newcomers are running for the four open trustee seats. Incumbents Dan Shea and Russell Cardelli are running, as are Terence

Woodstock officer facing DUI charge in crash placed on leave

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock police officer facing a drunken driving charge after a crash in Round Lake Beach has been put on administrative leave.

Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said Officer Michael Niedzwiecki reported for duty at the police department after being on “allocated benefit time,” Michael E. and he was placed on Niedzwiecki administrative leave effective Thursday pending the results of an internal investigation. Niedzwiecki was hired by the Woodstock Police Department in March 2012 and is assigned to the department’s patrol division.

The 29-year-old was arrested and

charged Feb. 15 with driving under the influence of alcohol and cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after he drove off the road on Hainesville Road approaching Rollins Road and struck a telephone pole and a highway marker sign, according to a police report.

Police said Niedzwiecki, of Lake Villa, was slurring his words and officers noted they could smell a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.” He refused to participate in field sobriety tests and would not submit a breath sample while at the police station.

Preliminary investigations indicated that Niedzwiecki was driving faster than the posted 30 mph speed limit and at a speed greater than necessary to maintain control of the vehicle on the curve, according to the report.

He will appear March 16 in Lake County Court for an arraignment on the charges.

the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. There’s many, many, many issues we would like to talk to him about.”

Becker said she has Medicare, but supports others having access to affordable health care.

“I have Medicare, so I’m lucky – for a while,” Becker said. “But we don’t know what he’s going to do to Medicare, either. I think our representatives need to be our voice in Washington. … Not just follow the party line; they need to be our voice.”

Rex Zimmerman, 69, of Batavia said his main concern was health care.

“So many people don’t have health care,” Zimmerman said. “I don’t see how you could be a good Christian without making sure there is health care for all. And, for me, that is the major issue.

The Democrats have put something together – good or bad. The Republicans have done nothing. And this is a major issue in a civilized country that we don’t have it.”

Zimmerman said he worked in health care for a long time and knows the financial devastation a major illness such as cancer can cause to an individual and a family.

“I would see people survive their first bout of cancer – then mortgage their house and lose everything,” Zimmerman said. “A study in Congress showed

that not having health care was one of the major reasons for bankruptcies. So affordable health care is extremely important. And I’m not fighting for my age group. I’m fighting for everyone younger, that we have that legacy.”

Charles Cappell, a retired sociology professor from Northern Illinois University and a former Campton Hills village trustee, said he dropped off a memo to Hultgren concerning Medicaid expansion and the ACA enrollment in his 14th Congressional District.

The memo seeks to have Hultgren sign a promise “to my constituents that I will not vote for any changes to or repeal of the Patient Protection and [Affordable] Care Act that will diminish in any way the quality, scope, benefits coverage or that will increase the personal health care costs to patients currently covered by the ACA.” Cappell’s memo also states that if Hultgren does not sign the promise, that he should provide “a justification and rationale for the harm your actions will do to the least well-off among us.”

“The policies of the Republican Party, that they are promulgating now that Trump has been elected, are going to hurt the most vulnerable people in our society,” Cappell said. “I am here to let them know they do not have the majority of people behind them. There is ample evidence and data of how many people have benefited from the Patient

Christina Moody Westmont resident

District 87 Superintendent David Larson also spoke at the meeting about education. Other speakers included Dr. Jennifer McNulty, medical director of pediatrics and an emergency medicine pediatrician at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, who spoke about the proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Sania Irwin, a technology professional, spoke about the importance of the press in maintaining a strong democracy. Among those attending the meeting was Glenbard South High School senior Maggie Micklo of Glen Ellyn.

Micklo said she would like to see more civil discourse these days, including with her fellow students.

“I know that I’m not going to change their opinions, and I know they’re not going to change my opinions, but I just definitely want to fig-

ure out how to have a more respectful relationship with all these people in my class,” Micklo said. “It’s not just in my class, but that’s the place where it’s magnified the most.”

Christina Moody of Westmont was clutching a sign that said “We Are Not Afraid,” a message aimed at Trump’s proposed travel ban for immigrants. Moody voiced concerns about the ban.

“I want my representative to hear my voice,” she said. “He represents all of the constituents in his district, whether we voted for him or not. And he doesn’t seem to get that.”

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, who represents the southeastern portion of McHenry County, did not attend the town hall meeting. In an email, Roskam communications director David Pasch said the congressman is currently leading a dip-

lomatic mission overseas, aimed at “reassuring our allies who are facing increased bullying and intimidation

by Russia.”

Earlier this month, representatives from eight Leagues of Women Voters within the 6th Congressional District met with Roskam and asked him to consider attending a free public meeting with constituents to discuss policy issues. Roskam “respectfully declined” the league’s invitation, according to the group.

However, Roskam did participate in a tele-town hall on Feb. 13. More than 18,000 people participated in the event, Pasch said.

“Rep. Roskam has hosted 130 teletown halls during his time in Congress (that’s more than once per month, on average),” Pasch wrote in the email.

“We find this to be an extremely effective way to engage a large number of people, including those who aren’t able to make it to in-person events.”

That didn’t satisfy District 87 board Vice President Mary FitzGerald Ozog, who said Roskam needs to be accessible to his constituents.

“Nobody can reach this person,” she told the crowd at St. Mark’s. “We deserve to be heard, and we deserve that he should look us in the eye.”

GLEN ELLYN – Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board President Erica Nelson believes Illinois hasn’t been doing its job to fund public education.

“In 2015, out of 50 states, Illinois ranked fourth from the bottom for providing state revenue to local school districts,” Nelson said during a town hall meeting Thursday at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn. “Who makes that up? We [taxpayers] do, or we don’t. And so sometimes [things] like art and music go away.”

The meeting was put on by the group Our Voice – Chicago West Suburbs, part of the Indivisible national movement that seeks to resist President Donald Trump’s agenda. Nelson told the crowd that being informed in what is happening in education “is one part of our civic responsibility.”

Nelson also spoke about the value of public education. The newly tapped education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is an advocate for charter schools.

“Every child that walks through that door, we educate,” Nelson said, receiving loud applause from the audience.

Area residents organize an ‘Indivisible’ political group NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Local residents have formed an “indivisible” political group in Crystal Lake.

Residents in the northern Illinois 6th, 8th and 14th U.S Congressional districts organized the Northwestern Illinois Indivisible group, which is one of thousands forming across the nation. The group’s goals are to peacefully resist President Donald Trump’s agenda and highlight the congressional members in the three local districts.

About 45 members of the group are working on initiatives that focus on topics such as the environment, health care, activism, social justice and diversity training. The group plans to host community meetings and events to bring awareness to local residents “As a concerned citizen, it is my right to voice my objection to the

Protection and Affordable Care Act for the Republicans to just unilaterally make vacuous promises and plan to cap benefits.”

In Illinois alone, Cappell said, eliminating the Medicaid expansion benefit to people below or slightly above the poverty level would jeopardize the lives, health and well-being of some 671,100 residents who receive that support.

“And that, to me, just seems unconscionable – ruthless – to do that to harm people’s lives,” Cappell said.

In an email response, Hultgren stated he appreciated getting input from constituents. Hultgren’s email noted that he has hosted Coffees with the Congressman, one-on-one meetings with constituents, and conference calls and meetings with businesses, churches, hospitals, schools, nonprofit organizations and municipalities.

“While some constituents have communicated a frustration about their demands for a particular format of meeting, I have met individually with many of these same constituents one-on-one who have provided valuable input on various aspects of how best to repair the ACA,” Hultgren stated in a email response.

“Unfortunately, there is an element of this group who are following a well-publicized ‘playbook’ on how best to disrupt and prevent a civil dialogue on important issues, such as health care and veterans issues,”

“As a concerned citizen, it is my right to voice my objection to the current administration’s lack of understanding of how the government functions and its overreach of constitutional authority.”

Geneva resident Jeanne Scown, who helped organize the event, said she told Hultgren’s district staff that they would not yell and shout at him as has been reported at town halls with other congressmen.

Zion man gets 28 years in prison for providing fatal dose of heroin to Algonquin woman

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Zion man was sentenced to 28 years in prison Friday for the drug-induced homicide of 21-year-old Algonquin resident Danielle Barzyk.

James F. Linder, 36, was sentenced after jurors found him guilty of the Class X felony in January. Authorities James F. said Linder sold more Linder than a gram of heroin to Barzyk’s boyfriend, Cody N. Hillier, on Jan. 30, 2015, in Zion. Hillier and Barzyk returned to Algonquin and used the drugs on at least three occasions. Just after 1 a.m., Barzyk told Hillier she was having trouble breathing and needed medical attention.

The couple went to the Algonquin Police Department, but after realizing the building was closed, Hillier called 911 and police arrived minutes later.

Police asked Hillier whether Barzyk had taken anything and he said she was having an asthma attack. He later told police and emergency personnel she had taken Vicodin.

Barzyk was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, where she died.

Linder was arrested one day after Barzyk’s death when Hillier agreed to work with the North Central Narcot-

“I contributed to the young lady’s death, but I didn’t kill her.

I participated, but her boyfriend killed her and got probation.”

ics Task Force and bought more heroin from Linder in a police-controlled sting buy at a Wal-Mart in Zion. Linder was pulled over after the alleged drug deal, and officers found the money Hillier was given to buy the drugs, his wallet, a cellphone and additional cash.

In handing down a sentence, Judge Sharon Prather said she was particularly struck by Linder’s extensive and “horrendous” criminal history. Linder has been to prison on six prior occasions – his first time for a violent offense when he was 16 years old – and he was out on parole when he was arrested on the drug-induced homicide charge.

Linder faced at least 15 years in prison on the charge, but could have faced between 30 and 60 years based on prior convictions had Prather decided to apply extended-term sentencing. He will be required to serve 75 percent of his sentence.

“One would think that Mr. Linder would learn something from his six prior trips to the Department of Corrections and conform to the norms of society and live a law-abiding life,” she said.

Prosecutors described Linder as a violent person who was a danger to the community, citing his long criminal history of violent, weapon and drug offenses.

Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese said heroin is an epidemic and health crisis in the community, and

every day the courtroom is filled with heroin victims.

McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski testified that the No. 1 cause of death of young people in McHenry County and Illinois is no longer car crashes, but overdose deaths. Majewski said young people are 2½ times more likely to die from a drug overdose than a car crash in McHenry County.

From 2012 to 2016, the total number of drug overdose deaths has increased from 31 to 56, Majewski said.

“It’s a tragedy for our youth and all of our citizens,” she said.

Freese said Danielle Barzyk was a beautiful, young girl who had her whole life ahead of her and “had two very involved parents and heroin still won.”

“Heroin took a complete hold on Danielle and her entire family and it never let go,” Freese said. “Something’s got to change or everyone in this community is going to be able to

relate to the Barzyks.”

Mark Barzyk, Danielle Barzyk’s father, said that over the course of three years he watched his daughter’s world completely change because of her addiction to heroin. Mark Barzyk said while he has no personal dislike or any strong feelings toward Linder, he does take issue with what he chooses to do for a living.

“I am sure he is well aware of the level of addiction this drug has. … I’m sure he counts on it,” he said.

Hank Sugden, Linder’s attorney, argued his client should not be considered for any kind of extended-term sentencing because he was a “smalltime drug dealer” who got himself into trouble at a young age and things have “snowballed since.” Sugden previously filed a motion in 2015 asking that the case be moved out of McHenry County because there were too few African-Americans in the area to be tried by a jury of his peers.

Linder apologized to Barzyk’s family, taking some responsibility for Danielle’s death, but not all of it.

“I contributed to the young lady’s death, but I didn’t kill her,” Linder said, waving his hands as he spoke. “I participated, but her boyfriend killed her and got probation.”

Linder said he was an addict as well, admitting that he smoked crack cocaine and had no one in the courtroom on his behalf because of his actions when he was on drugs.

Some governors avoid mention of Trump

By BEN NUCKOLS

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – These should be heady times for the GOP as the nation’s governors prepare to gather for their winter meeting in Washington, D.C. Republicans hold 33 governorships, compared with just 16 for Democrats, and the GOP has full control of the legislatures in two-thirds of the states.

But there is a sense of unease for Republican governors in Democratic-leaning states. They criticize President Donald Trump gently, picking their spots to appease the Democratic and independent voters they need to remain in office. At the same time, they don’t want to alienate Trump supporters.

For some, the best strategy is to avoid mentioning Trump at all.

Democrats sense an opening ahead of the 2018 elections and are taking any opportunity to link Republican governors to the president. Republicans will be defending 27 of the 38 governorships up for election this year and next. Nine of the GOP governors are in states Hillary Clinton carried last year.

“I think what the Trump administration has done, it has really made every Republican governor out there – especially a moderate Republican governor in a Democratic state – it has made

News from across the state Former Lake County coroner pleads not guilty to perjury

WAUKEGAN – Former Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd has pleaded not guilty to five counts of perjury.

Rudd entered the pleas Friday in Lake County Circuit Court. The 70-year-old is accused of having nominating petitions with signatures of people who were dead or who later claimed they didn’t sign when he was seeking re-election in 2016. Rudd dropped out of the Democratic primary after it was determined he didn’t have enough valid signatures on his nominating petitions.

Rudd faces two to five years in prison if he is found guilty of the felony charges.

His trial is scheduled for July 10. He was released from the Lake County jail after posting bail.

Republican governors who face re-election next year in states that voted for Clinton are Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Larry Hogan of Mary-

land, Bruce Rauner of Illinois, Phil Scott of Vermont and Chris Sununu of New Hampshire. Four other states that voted for Clinton have governors who will be forced out by term limits: Chris Christie in New Jersey; Paul LePage in Maine; Susana Martinez in New Mexico; and Brian Sandoval in Nevada.

Rudd’s attorney Jed Stone said he plans to file a motion within the next few weeks to have the charges dismissed.

The medical examiner said results of the baby’s autopsy are due Friday.

Baby born premature dies after mother shot dead

CHICAGO – A baby girl has died about five months after she was born prematurely when her mother was killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said Friday that 5-month-old A’Miracle Jones died Thursday evening at a downtown Chicago hospital. The baby’s mother, 19-year-old Parasha M. Beard, was killed Sept. 18 when she was shot in the head.

Police said Beard was in a parked car when another vehicle drove past and someone inside fired shots. The medical examiner ruled Beard’s death a homicide. No arrests have been made.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Beard’s mother, Crystal Jones, has been caring for the baby since her daughter’s death. Jones told the newspaper “it hurts so bad.”

Man convicted in slaying of mother outside church

WHEATON – A Downers Grove man has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his mother.

A DuPage County jury deliberated two hours Thursday before finding Michael Zaky Bassaly guilty of murdering 61-year-old Yvonne Bassaly. The woman was shot in the head in August 2013 as she sat in the backseat of her car parked in the parking lot of a Coptic Christian church in Burr Ridge.

Michael Bassaly testified Thursday his mother was fatally wounded after she pointed his gun to her head. The 31-yearold Bassaly said he tried to get his finger inside the trigger guard when the gun discharged.

It is a story prosecutors derided as a “desperate pack of lies.”

Defense attorney Marc Wolfe said the woman’s death was “a horrible accident.”

Sandoval, vice chairman of the governors association, said he is comfortable being the face of moderate GOP governors across the country. He has urged caution on Trump’s pledges to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Sandoval said he believes he and other moderates can work productively with Trump and his Cabinet.

“We’re five weeks into the administration, so I think it’s really premature to start drawing conclusions now, with regard to what the implication could be in future elections,” he said.

Heading into the upcoming governors’ races, the Republican Governors’ Association is better-funded, having raised $60.7 million in 2016, compared with $39 million by the Democratic Governors’ Association. The RGA has tried to paint Democratic challengers as too liberal and out of touch with mainstream America.

This weekend’s bipartisan governors’ gathering includes an audience with Trump and leading Republicans in Congress. Governors of both parties are concerned with a full range of proposals that could affect state budgets, including possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act, reforms to Medicaid, immigration enforcement and spending for infrastructure.

Officer won’t face charges in fatal shooting during fight

SPRINGFIELD – A Springfield police officer won’t face criminal charges in connection with the fatal shooting of a 27-year-old man during an altercation.

Daniel D. Rogers of Springfield was shot several times Jan. 23 and later died at Memorial Medical Center.

Springfield Deputy Police Chief Dennis Arnold said Officer John Shea suffered facial injuries during the altercation.

Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser announced Thursday a review of an Illinois State Police investigation resulted in a decision not to prosecute Shea.

State police said the incident occurred after Springfield police received calls of a man acting erratically. When police arrived, Rogers threw objects at the squad car and later attacked Shea, who attempted to arrest Rogers.

Milhiser said he met with Rogers’ family and showed them a video of the incident.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS remains closed. Hundreds of Border wall contracts protesters still are in the area. could be awarded by April

SAN DIEGO – U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Friday that it plans to start awarding contracts by mid-April for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico, signaling that he is aggressively pursuing plans to erect “a great wall” along the 2,000-mile border.

The agency said it will request bids on or around March 6 and that companies would have to submit “concept papers” to design and build prototypes

by March 10, according to FedBizOpps.gov, a website for federal contractors. The field of candidates will be narrowed

by March 20, and finalists must submit offers with their proposed costs by March 24.

The president told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that construction will start “very soon” and is “way, way, way ahead of schedule.”

Protest camp cleared, but area far from normal

CANNON BALL, N.D. – Authorities this week cleared the last holdouts from a large Dakota Access pipeline protest camp on federal land in North Dakota, but it will be a while before the region returns to normal.

There’s tons of debris to be cleared. A main highway bridge

The pipeline operator is rushing to complete construction and said oil could flow within 10 days. Looming over it all is a still-unresolved court battle.

“This was beautiful North Dakota prairie in a sensitive watershed area,” Gov. Doug Burgum said of the square-mile protest camp at the confluence of the Missouri and Cannonball rivers. “Its only use prior to this was for cattle grazing.”

California roads, dams could cost $1B to fix

FRESNO, Calif. – The bill to repair California’s crumbling roads, dams and other critical infrastructure hammered by an onslaught of storms this winter could top $1 billion, including nearly $600 million alone for damaged roadways that more than doubles what the state budgeted for road repair emergencies, officials said Friday.

Adding to the problems, many communities have drained their emergency budgets and are looking to the state and federal government for help. But on top of the latest damage, the nation’s most populated state is struggling with a $6 billion annual backlog of repairs for roads, highways and bridges that leaders can’t agree on a way to fund.

Trump blasts media, anonymous sources The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump unloaded on the news media Friday for using anonymous sources – just hours after members of his own staff insisted on briefing reporters only on condition their names be concealed.

Unleashing a line of attack that energized an enthusiastic crowd at the nation’s largest gathering of conservative activists, Trump said unethical reporters “make up stories and make up sources.”

“They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name,” he declared. “Let their name be put out there.”

Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference that while not all reporters are bad, the “fake news” crowd “doesn’t represent the people. It will never represent the people and we’re going to do something about it.”

Trump didn’t expand on what he had in mind or which news organizations he was talking about. But his broadsides represented an escalation of his running battle against the press, which he has taken to calling “the opposition party.”

The president has chafed at a number of anonymously sourced stories, including numerous reports describing contacts between his campaign advisers and Russian intelligence agents, which the White House has sharply disputed.

However, members of his White House team regularly demand anonymity when talking to reporters. That was the case Friday morning when Trump officials briefed reporters on chief of staff Reince Priebus’ contact with top FBI officials concerning the Russia reports.

Later Friday, after Trump’s speech, several news organizations including The

President Donald Trump speaks Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md. New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, CNN and Politico were blocked from joining a White House media gaggle, according to news reports.

The Associated Press chose not to participate following the move by White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

Lauren Easton, the AP’s director of media relations, said in a statement: “The AP believes the public should have as much access to the president as possible.”

Trump’s appearance at CPAC represented a triumph for both speaker and audience – each ascendant after years when they were far from the center of the political universe.

Elizabeth Connors of New York recalled past gatherings as collections of the “downtrodden.”

Today, she said, “it’s energized” after years in which “we’ve been just pushed down, pushed down, pushed down.”

Nicholas Henderson of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was there in his “Make America Great Again” hat and pronounced Trump’s speech rousing.

“He touched on a lot of things we’d already heard before, which is reassuring, tells us he’s still committed

to those promises he made during the campaign,” Henderson said.

Trump, who first appeared at CPAC as a reality TV star six years ago, recalled his past visits with nostalgia, saying the crowd helped put him on the path to the presidency.

“I loved the commotion,” he said. “And then they did these polls where I went through the roof and I wasn’t even running, right? But it gave me an idea.”

From there, Trump’s latest speech played out like a greatest hits reel from his 2016 campaign.

He reminisced about his victory in the Republican primaries. He vowed to “build the wall” along the Mexican border. He denounced Hillary Clinton’s characterization of some of his supporters as belonging in a “basket of deplorables.”

The crowd responded to his Clinton criticism with chants of “Lock her up!” just as they did at Trump rallies last year.

Further blurring the line between candidate and president, Trump departed the stage to the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” the same exit music he used during his campaign.

Chief urged FBI to dispute Russia reports

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The White House on Friday defended chief of staff Reince Priebus against accusations he breached a government firewall when he asked FBI Director James Comey to publicly dispute media reports that Trump campaign advisers had been frequently in touch with Russian intelligence agents.

President Donald Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, argued Priebus had little choice but to seek Comey’s assistance in rebutting what Spicer said were inaccurate reports about contacts during last year’s presidential campaign. The FBI did not issue the statement requested by Priebus and has given no sign one is forthcoming.

“I don’t know what else we were supposed to do,” Spicer said.

The Justice Department has policies in place to limit communications between the White House and the FBI about pending investigations. Trump officials on Friday not only confirmed contacts between Priebus and the FBI, but engaged in an extraordinary public airing of those private conversations.

Spicer said it was the FBI that first

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus speaks Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md. approached the White House about the veracity of a New York Times story asserting that Trump advisers had contacts with Russian intelligence officials during the presidential campaign.

Spicer said Priebus then asked both FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe if they would

condemn the story publicly, which they declined to do.

“The chief of staff said, well, you’ve put us in a very difficult situation,” Spicer said. “You’ve told us that a story that made some fairly significant accusations was not true. And now you want us to just sit out there.”

The FBI would not comment on the matter or verify the White House account. Friday’s revelations were the latest wrinkle in Trump’s already complicated relationship with the FBI and other intelligence agencies. He’s accused intelligence officials of releasing classified information about him to the media, declaring in a tweet Friday morning that the FBI was “totally unable to stop the national security ‘leakers’ that have permeated our government for a long time.”

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi accused Priebus of “an outrageous breach of the FBI’s independence” and called on the Justice Department’s inspector general to look into all conversations Priebus and other White House officials have held with the FBI on ongoing investigations.

“The rule of law depends on the FBI’s complete independence, free from political pressure from the targets of its investigations,” Pelosi said.

A 2009 memo from then-Attorney General Eric Holder said the Justice Department is to advise the White House on pending criminal or civil investigations “only when it is important for the performance of the president’s duties and appropriate from a law enforcement perspective.”

Witnesses say bar gunman shouted ‘get out of my country’

Sunayana Dumala holds her heart while talking about her late husband, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, during a news conference Friday in Olathe, Kan. nivas Kuchibhotla, 32. His widow said he came to the U.S. in 2005 to pursue a master’s degree at the University of Texas at El Paso and worked in Iowa for six years before moving to the Kansas City area.

“He did not deserve a death like this,” Sunayana Dumala said Friday at a news conference organized by her husband’s employer, the GPS device-maker Garmin. “I don’t know what to say. We’ve read many times in newspapers of some kind of shooting

happening somewhere. I was always concerned, ‘Are we doing the right thing staying in the U.S. or America?’

But he always assured me good things happen in America.”

Although she did not mention Trump by name, she directed anger at the U.S. government, asking what officials would do to stop hate crimes.

“Not everyone will be harmful to this country,” she said.

Cosby won’t face a barrage of accusers at his trial

By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – In a major break for Bill Cosby, a judge ruled Friday that just one of the comedian’s multitude of other accusers can testify at his trial to bolster charges he drugged and violated a woman more than a decade ago.

The 79-year-old TV star is set to go on trial in June, accused of sexually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Prosecutors wanted to put 13 more women on the stand to show that his alleged conduct was part of a distinct pattern of behavior.

Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill disallowed all but one of those women, saying in a one-page ruling that he carefully weighed the possible value of their testimony against the potential prejudice to Cosby.

The one witness who can testify says the comic drugged and assaulted her in 1996 at a Los Angeles hotel.

Cosby’s lawyer had no immediate comment, but the actor himself re-tweeted news stories on the ruling, adding the hashtags “#KeepWatching” and “#PayAttention.”

The judge’s decision is a setback for prosecutors and means the case will now rest more heavily on Constand’s credi- Bill Cosby bility.

“There is an obvious value to the prosecution when you have numerous accusers. That alone adds tremendous weight to the case,” said lawyer Joseph McGettigan, a prosecutor in the Penn State sex abuse scandal.

The ruling could also shave weeks off the trial.

Cosby, who is free on $1 million bail,

could get 10 years in prison if convicted.

He is expected in court again Monday to ask that the jurors be selected from another county because of the heavy publicity.

Prosecutors compiled the list of 13 potential witnesses from the nearly 50 women who have come forward in recent years to say they were drugged and molested – a barrage that destroyed Cosby’s good-guy reputation as the star of TV’s “Cosby Show” in the 1980s.

His lawyers objected to the testimony about “prior bad acts,” saying that in some cases the sex was consensual, while others involved models and actresses falsely accusing Cosby to gain money or attention.

His attorneys also argued that some of the allegations were so vague – with some of the women unsure of when the alleged encounters even took place – that it would be impossible for Cosby to defend himself.

While the ruling is a big victory for Cosby at his trial, it could deprive him of grounds for appeal if he is convicted.

In 2015, a Pennsylvania appeals court threw out a Roman Catholic Church official’s conviction because the jury was allowed to hear from 23 priest-abuse victims who were not directly part of the case.

“It’s the best of times and the worst of times for Cosby. It gives the defendant the opportunity to try the case that should be tried, the lone accuser,” said defense lawyer William J. Brennan, who was involved in the church case.

“If it doesn’t go his way, he probably is limited on appellate issues. However, I’d take this, hands down, over the alternative.”

The ruling is one of two key pretrial issues in the case. The judge earlier ruled that the jury can hear Cosby’s damaging testimony from Constand’s 2005 lawsuit against the comedian.

OLATHE, Kan. – In the middle of a crowded bar, Adam Purinton yelled at two Indian men to “get out of my country,” witnesses said, then opened fire in an attack that killed one of the men and wounded the other, as well as a third man who tried to help.

Hours later, the 51-year-old former air traffic controller reportedly told a bartender in another town that he needed a place to hide because he had just killed two Middle Eastern men.

In India, the father of one of the wounded men called Wednesday’s attack in the Kansas City suburbs a hate crime, but authorities Friday declined to discuss a motive as they investigated. The shooting swiftly stoked fears about the treatment of immigrants, who feel targeted by President Donald Trump’s promises to ban certain travelers, build a wall along the Mexico border and put “America first.”

The president has been especially vocal about the threat posed by Islamic terrorist groups. Both of the Indian men were Hindu.

The slain man was identified as Sri-

court appearance was scheduled for Monday.

A bartender at Austins Bar and Grill in the suburb of Olathe said Purinton used racial slurs before firing.

He was taken into custody about five hours later after speaking with another bartender at an Applebee’s some 70 miles away in Clinton, Missouri.

The Kansas City Star reported Purinton’s comments to the second bartender.

The paper did not cite its sources.

The other men who were shot were identified as 32-year-old Alok Madasani, who was released from the hospital Thursday, and 24-year-old Ian Grillot, who remained hospitalized.

Madasani’s father, Jaganmohan Reddy, said he had spoken with his wounded son by phone from India and was worried about his safety.

“I request other parents to think twice before sending their children to the United States,” he said.

As engineers for Garmin, Kuchibhotla and Madasani worked at the company’s main campus just a mile from the scene of the shooting. Garmin is one of the region’s best-known employers.

Local police were working with the FBI. Spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the federal agency’s role is to help determine if a civil rights violation occurred.

Purinton, who is being held on $2 million bond, was moved Friday from Missouri to Kansas. Because he has not yet appeared in court, he did not have an attorney formally assigned to his case.

OUR VIEW

Real help from poverty is realized Thumbs-up: To the Hope Takes Action program, which helps people living in long-term poverty become self-sufficient. Six McHenry County participants graduated last week after completing the 20-week workshop series and mentoring program. This was the first year the program took place in McHenry County.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s National Council started incorporating it in 2012, and since then, it has spread to more than 300 communities throughout the country. “I was ready to just give up and lay down, and figure I was going to die one of these days,” said Michael Moore, 62, of McHenry. “But then, through this program, I found all kinds of resources that help me.”

Thumbs-down: To AFSCME workers’ decision to authorize a strike. The union that represents 38,000 state workers wants pay increases and other benefits that would cost Illinois taxpayers another $3 billion over the life of the four-year contract. State pensions are underfunded by almost $130 billion and there’s a backlog of unpaid bills totaling more than $11 billion. Taxpayers simply cannot afford it.

Thumbs-up: To checking the couch cushions.

That’s how two members of McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks’ staff discovered the state treasurer’s office was holding $130,000 owed to various county departments as unclaimed property. Franks, D-Marengo, who ran on a platform of reducing the property tax burden and cutting the county budget, said the find is money “we now don’t have to take from taxpayers.” Some of the money has been unclaimed since 1997. Finding $130,000 through a simple search of the state treasurer’s website is a good start, but we’ll need to see more substantive, structural changes for property taxpayers to see meaningful relief. We expect Franks and the County Board to continue down this path.

Thumbs-up: To suicides hitting a seven-year low in McHenry County. The number of suicide deaths in the county dropped from 35 in 2015 to 21 in 2016, and about half of what it was in 2012. We’re hopeful this downward trend will continue and the resources available to those in need in McHenry County continue to strongly support the community. Anyone feeling depressed is encouraged to call the McHenry County Crisis Line at 800-892-8900.

Technology: Problem and solution for distracted driving With all our technological advancements in the vehicle arena, more people are dying in crashes than at almost anytime in history, according to the National Safety Council. The NSC estimates that 40,200 people died in automobile accidents in 2016, up 6 percent over 2015.

One of the reasons cited is distracted driving.

Many drivers hold their smartphones in higher regard than Gollum held his “precious” ring, constantly staring at its shimmering screen or picking it up whenever it beckons – even while steering a vehicle weighing several thousand pounds. The other reasons for a higher death toll have nothing to do with technology, but human behavior.

Speed and intoxication, with speed being the most contributing factor in highway fatalities even as actual crashes decrease in some states.

But can technology also act as savior? The answer is a qualified, “maybe.”

Technology exists and is on the market right now that can disable cellphone use, internet access, even game playing while in a moving vehicle but still allow the ability to make 911 calls.

Other features include reports of excessive

braking, cornering and speed. These type of apps are usually employed by parents. Nothing is foolproof, and it still needs some degree of human cooperation.

While Georgia law bans all cellphone use for drivers younger than age 18 and texting for everyone, all we have to do is look around to see how well that’s working. According to the National Occupant Protection Use Survey, at any given daylight moment across America, about 660,000 drivers are using cellphones or manipulating electronic devices while driving.

Car manufacturers are developing different technologies, from heads up displays to text messages read aloud over the vehicle’s speaker system and voice-activated replies.

Navigation units are becoming less expensive and more common in lower-priced vehicles with larger, clearer displays. And there has been an effort to have the government require phone makers or auto manufacturers build into their products systems that would automatically disable a cellphone’s ability to text or connect to the internet.

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.

Proud family history

To the Editor: My son, Robert Miller, is running for re-election on Feb. 28 to the position of Algonquin Township highway commissioner.

Bob has been employed by the township for 40 years, the last 23 as highway commissioner. This is a job he clearly loves.

He spent these past years initiating and improving extensive recycling programs, introducing a curbside brush pickup program and expanding the services his department provides. He has done all this while lowering the levy.

Our family is proud of the history we enjoy with Algonquin Township. I still can remember the pride I felt as a little girl when my father served as president of Fox River Grove.

We are grateful for the many opportunities this community has afforded us and would never consider apologizing for our long-standing commitment to public service.

We are proud of Bob’s accomplishments and believe he has earned your continued support.

VIEWS Rich Miller relationships with fellow legislators by then, particularly with members of the Senate Black Caucus. And by the time of our little chat, he’d gotten way ahead of himself by challenging Congressman Bobby Rush in the 2000 Democratic primary and losing badly.

I was interviewed by the Chicago Reader newspaper during that campaign. I told the reporter Sen. Obama was “a very intelligent man” who has “some really good ideas,” and would “probably make a pretty good congressman.” But I also pointed out that he hadn’t had a lot of success in Springfield and speculated that it could be “because he places himself above everybody. He likes people to know he went to Harvard.”

I got a phone call from Obama after that story was published. He was stung by my comments. I tried to point out the positive things I said, but that didn’t work. At the end of our conversation, we agreed to start talking more

often, which may have been why he called me into his office that day.

We had finished our cigarettes and I remember getting up to leave. It’s not like he knew any hot inside information that I could use in my Capitol Fax publication, so I had work to do and needed to move on. But Obama asked me to stay a while longer, so I sat back down and we each lit another smoke.

Obama then stunned me by asking a question that I never in a million years would’ve anticipated: What would I think of him running for U.S. Senate in 2004?

His question seemed so ... presumptuous. Rush had just cleaned his clock by a 30-point margin, I reminded Obama. If he ran for statewide office and lost, he’d be finished, washed up, out of the game for good. “There is still some honor to serving in the Illinois Senate,” I gently scolded him.

But Obama said he was getting heat from the home front. His Springfield duties were preventing him from making a decent living as an attorney, so he either had to move up to a much higher office or get out of politics and go make some real money.

I couldn’t argue with that logic, but

Love thy neighbor

To the Editor: I’ve been doing some research and found Russia and North America are separated by the Bering Strait, a mere 52 miles across. Anthropologists believe there once was a land bridge connecting Asia to North America, but I believe that’s a wives’ tale, just like climate change.

Anyone with at least an eighth-grade education knows the first Native Americans arrived here on jet skis (fake news? I think not). Besides Mexico and Canada, Russia is our closest neighbor, we’re like kissing cousins.

Maybe [Donald] Trump has a point, trying to get along with Russia might be a new era of detente. After all, both countries enjoy a democratic society (fake news). The Russian people have the same freedoms as Americans including unfettered access to the internet (fake news), the Russian population is as diversified as ours, the proverbial melting pot of white people (alternative fact).

I’ve known nothing other than Russia being our arch-enemy, I’ll refer to George W. Bush in 2001 when he said he looked into [Vladimir] Putin’s eyes and got a sense of the man’s soul,

I suggested that maybe he stop using “Barack” and call himself “Barry” or something. He said that’s what his friends called him when he was growing up, but said he wanted to stick to his given name. I made some sort of joke about Irishing up his last name with an apostrophe after the “O” and using green yard signs. Had I known at the time that his middle name was “Hussein,” I’m sure I would’ve made some sort of inappropriate joke.

I tell this story whenever somebody asks me for advice about whether to run for higher office in order to explain why I no longer provide that sort of counsel. I mean, I actually told a future president of the United States to not be so darned ambitious. It was not my proudest moment.

Nowadays, I just say, “What do you really want to do?” And if they can answer that question, I urge them to put their entire heart and soul into the effort.

It works out much better that way – for them and for me.

On a fairly regular basis back in the day, state Sen. Barack Obama would walk up to the Senate press box and bum cigarettes off me. That was when people could smoke in the Senate chambers and back when both of us smoked. Now, we both chew nicotine gum and smoking on the Senate floor is strictly forbidden.

Obama mainly was an OPC smoker, meaning “other peoples’ cigarettes.”

I’d usually give him a little grief about how maybe he should buy his own pack once in a while, but I never denied his request unless I was almost out. He’d always take the cigarette to a room in the back of the chamber, never seeming to smoke at his desk like others did.

One day, as I was wandering through the Statehouse near his office, Obama hollered out my name and asked me to come in and join him. I presumed he wanted to bum yet another cigarette and I was right. I tossed my pack on his desk and he took one out, lit it and we made a little small talk.

Honestly, I didn’t much care for the guy in those days. He hadn’t yet done a lot of real work, or built strong

BUSINESS No warm welcome for Trump tower in Vancouver

By JEREMY HAINSWORTH and ROB GILLIES The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The furies unleashed by Donald Trump’s rise to the U.S. presidency are shaking Vancouver, where a gleaming new Trump International Hotel and Tower is about to open.

The mayor wants its name changed.

A city councilman calls it “over the top, glitz and glamor” that clashes with Canadian values. And the property developer who built it sounds traumatized by the whole affair.

The 69-story building designed by one of Canada’s most renowned architects has drawn praise for its sleek, twisting design. Prices for the condominiums have set records.

But Trump’s politics, especially his criticism of immigrants, have caused such outrage that the mayor won’t attend the grand opening next week. Even the Malaysian developer has had second thoughts about the partnership.

Joo Kim Tiah, who like the U.S. president is the son of a prominent businessman who got into global real estate, said he found it “extremely stressful” when Trump’s statements about Muslims, Mexicans and women, among other things, made him extremely unpopular in Vancouver, one of the world’s most diverse and progressive cities. Unfortunately, it was well after he signed the licensing deal to use the Trump brand.

“I was terrified,” Joo Kim of Holborn Development told The Associated Press.

“The people who ran the city were not happy with me. I was scared, but I think

This Jan. 20 photo shows the still-under-construction Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The 69-story tower has drawn praise for its sleek, twisting design. Prices for the condominiums have set records. But the politics of President Donald Trump have caused such outrage that the mayor won’t attend the Feb. 28 grand opening and has lobbied for a name change. they understand. They understand that I’m trapped into – not trapped, locked into – an agreement.”

The developer said he would have had no legal grounds to back out of the licensing deal, the terms of which have not been publicly released. “There would be severe legal implications,” he said.

The hotel and residence will have its grand opening on Tuesday, with Trump sons Donald Jr. and Eric in attendance.

Located along an upscale six-lane downtown thoroughfare, the tower is

the second-tallest in Vancouver and offers majestic mountain and ocean views. A one-bedroom apartment, at 699 square feet, starts around $1 million and the average 1,153-square-foot two-bedroom condo went for $1.7 million but has since gone up. Hotel rooms in the slow season start at around $228 ($300 Canadian).

The chief White House ethics lawyers under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have criticized Trump’s turning over control of his business to his sons, saying it does not

eliminate potential conflicts of interest.

Legal experts also say Trump’s overseas businesses could violate the “emoluments clause” of the U.S. constitution, which bars public officials from accepting payments or gifts from foreign governments or companies they control without the consent of Congress. A liberal-funded watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against Trump citing the clause.

The Vancouver tower is the second Trump-branded property to officially open since he took office, coming shortly after a golf course in Dubai. The Canadian project has generated much more debate, however, because of its location in a place that prides itself on multiculturalism. Forty-eight percent of Vancouver’s residents are foreign born.

Mayor Gregor Robertson, among others, has urged the developer to drop the Trump name. “Trump’s name and brand have no more place on Vancouver’s skyline than his ignorant ideas have in the modern world,” he said in a letter.

City councilman Kerry Jang said the tower, which he calls a “beacon of racism ... intolerance, sexism and bullying,” is out of place not just because of the views of the person whose name adorns it but for a style that he said clashes with low-key Canada. “It represents a brand that’s over the top, glitz and glamor,” Jang said. “It’s not our thing.”

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark also said the Trump name doesn’t represent the values of a city that is known for its support of environmental causes and open drug policies.

LOS ANGELES – Ellen DeGeneres has handed out college scholarships to the entire senior class of a New York City charter school.

DeGeneres surprised the 41 students from Brooklyn’s Summit Academy this week at her California studio during the taping of Thursday’s episode of her chat show. The four-year scholarships paid for by Wal-Mart will cover tuition for any state university in New York. DeGeneres said the entire gift is worth $1.6 million. The school’s first graduating class was last year. School officials tell DeGeneres that 93 percent of members of the class are enrolled in college.

Clooney uses Cesar to warn about hate in age of Trump

Viola Davis attends the 10th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards ceremony on Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Rae gets laughs, King draws tears at Essence pre-Oscar gala BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Actresses Aja Naomi King and Yara Shahidi quoted James Baldwin. “Insecure” creator Issa Rae shared awkward memories of her first trip down a Hollywood red carpet. And singer-songwriter Janelle Monae,

who makes her acting debut in two best-picture nominated films at Sunday’s Oscars, insisted black women “have a right to have our stories told.”

Essence magazine recognized these four young entertainers Thursday at its 10th anniversary Black Women in Hollywood gala, which is set to air as a special on the Oprah Winfrey Network on March 5.

“Stories written, directed, produced and acted by black women are necessary,” Common said as he and actor Kofi Siriboe opened the program at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

“This event is a reminder that we are here,” host Gabrielle Union said. “Regardless of whether or not anyone sees us.”

The need to be seen, heard and valued was a theme of the evening, as pioneering artists such as Debbie Allen and Viola Davis lauded the next generation of storytellers, who in turn thanked them for paving the way.

Pharrell Williams, who’s up for an Oscar as a producer of “Hidden Figures,” presented an award to Monae, a star of that film and “Moonlight.” He described her as “the definition of a pluralist.”

Monae spoke passionately about the autonomy and agency of black women.

“The world must continue to know that we are not your expectations,” the 31-year-old entertainer said. “We have been the backbones of communities from the ghettos to Silicon Valley. We’re not monolithic. We are multidimensional.

And we have a right to have our stories told.”

She noted that “Hidden Figures,” which stars three black women, has brought in more than $140 million so far.

PARIS – George Clooney used the stage at the 42nd Cesar awards, France’s equivalent of the Oscars, to criticize U.S. President Donald Trump, without directly calling him out by name.

Receiving an honorary Cesar on Friday, Clooney said that “citizens of the world” must work “harder and harder not to let hate win.”

He said that “the actions of this president have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies and given considerable comfort to our enemies.”

The fault, he said, “is not really his” because fear was already present. “He merely exploited it, and rather successfully.”

The critique was delivered with some humor, with French 2012 best actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin providing a purposely wacky translation, and adding his own dig: “Donald Trump is a danger for the world.”

Meryl Streep added as Academy Awards presenter

LOS ANGELES – Meryl Streep, whose Golden Globes speech prompted President Donald Trump to call her “overrated,” has been added as a presenter to Sunday’s Academy Awards.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Friday unveiled its final batch of presenters, including Streep. The actress is also a nominee for a record 20th time. She’s up for best actress for her performance in “Florence Foster Jenkins.”

In her speech at the Golden Globes last month, Streep drew a loud standing ovation for a speech that bluntly criticized Trump. She

particularly voiced disgust for his mocking of The New York Times’ Serge Kovaleski, a disabled reporter.

Other presenters announced Friday include Ryan Gosling, Taraji P. Henson, Jennifer Aniston, Warren Beatty and Matt Damon.

Fans rush to get Murakami book with esoteric title

TOKYO – Fans of Haruki Murakami rushed to Japanese bookstores Friday to get his latest work with an esoteric title.

“Kishidancho Goroshi,” or “Killing Commendatore,” is a two-part story about a 36-year-old portrait painter and what happens after his wife divorces him and he moves into an old house on a mountainside west of Tokyo. The mysterious events include meeting a neighbor and finding the painting that shares the book’s title.

Murakami has described it as a very strange story.

Devoted fans of the internationally acclaimed and best-selling writer lined up outside stores on the eve of the book launch.

Shinchosha Publishing Co. said overseas availability is not yet known. No details are known yet on translations.

Murakami, 68, usually shies away from the limelight, although he has spoken out on issues such as world peace and nuclear energy.

He began writing while running a jazz bar in Tokyo after finishing college. His 1987 romantic novel “Norwegian Wood” was his first best-seller, establishing him as a young literary star.

CBS newsman Bob Schieffer is 80. Actress Diane Baker is 79. Actress Karen Grassle (“Little House on the Prairie”) is 75. Singer-guitarist Mike Peters of The Alarm is 58. Actress Veronica Webb is 52. Actor Alexis Denisof (“Angel,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) is 51. Actress Tea

‘Rescuing Eden’

Gilded Age gardens sparkle with renewed attention, respect

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press

The period Mark Twain dubbed “the Gilded Age” was one of extreme wealth and ostentation, of robber barons amassing great fortunes, of glaring chasms between rich and poor. It also was a time when some of the nation’s grandest gardens were constructed.

“These were incredibly competitive, extravagantly wealthy people with tremendous pride in America.

They wanted the country to be viewed as cultured and grand, and their hope was to create gardens that equaled, and ideally surpassed, the great gardens of Europe,” said Todd A. Forrest, vice president of horticulture and living collections at the New York Botanical Garden, founded in 1891.

The Gilded Age lasted from the 1860s and ’70s to just after the turn of the century. Some of the gardens were meant to be exquisite private gems, while others, such as the New York Botanical Garden, were intended to edify, inspire and uplift the public.

A handful of new and recent books pay tribute to their enduring importance.

Because of the high cost of maintaining ambitious Gilded Age gardens, many have long since vanished.

Others, however, such as the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, have been diligently preserved, evolving over time, as recounted in “The New York Botanical Garden,” edited by Forrest and Gregory Long (Abrams, 2016), Dozens more Gilded Age gardens languished but have been restored and opened to the public in recent decades. “Rescuing Eden,” by Caroline Seebohm and Curtice Taylor (The Monacelli Press, 2015), and “The Shelburne Farms,” by Glenn Suokko (Rizzoli, March 2017), tell of heroic efforts by communities and conservancies to resurrect great gardens that had fallen into ruin in the mid-20th century, usually for lack of funding and attention.

“For ages, Americans didn’t think much about the glorious gardens of this era, and people are suddenly seeing that there are these stunningly beautiful places across the country, and that many had gone neglected,”

“For ages, Americans didn’t think much about the glorious gardens of this era, and people are suddenly seeing that there are these stunningly beautiful places across the country, and that many had gone neglected. ... The brilliant thing is that every single one of these gardens has been resurrected and is now open to the public.”

Caroline Seebohm

Author of “Rescuing Eden” Stephen Byrnes,” Seebohm explains.

Byrnes, who stumbled upon ruins in what remained of the garden in the 1980s, became founder and president of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy.

In its heyday, the garden, where Isadora Duncan once danced and parties and poetry readings were held, sprawled over 150 acres with a view of the Hudson River Valley. It was part of a lavish estate belonging to Samuel Untermyer, a New York lawyer who opened it to the public weekly for 25 years and intended it to remain open for posterity.

Want to add instant color and texture to your deck, balcony, entryway or other small space around your yard? Consider hanging baskets.

If they’re in the right location and are maintained regularly, container plants will bloom from early spring until the first killing frost in autumn – longer if you load them with perennials and over-winter them indoors.

“Perennials make fantastic partner plants in containers,” said Rebecca Finneran, a horticulture educator with Michigan State University Extension.

“Shady containers look great with a fern or hosta right out of your garden, and sunny containers may benefit from re-blooming plants like nepeta or fall-blooming plants such as hyssop.”

And don’t forget the pollinators, Finneran said.

“Great pollinator plants can be worked into containers, too: butterfly bush, globe thistle, swamp milkweed – all great examples,” she said.

Hanging baskets have limited rooting space, so they need extra care once they become full and lush.

“Daily watering is often necessary, and fertilizer should be routinely applied to keep the plants blooming well,” Finneran said.

That would mean using a time-release fertilizer when planting, and adding a water-soluble fertilizer about once a week at the height of growing season.

If that sounds like too much work, consider using drought-resistant plants to reduce watering.

“But the soil mixture and soil depth must be adjusted for the plants you are growing,” said Amy Dabbs, a Clemson University area horticulture agent.

“For succulents and cacti, a shallow basket with a well draining, soilless media mix made for cacti should be used.

“These plants require bright light but not direct sun, as the plants will scorch, especially in the sunny South,” Dabbs said.

More tips on landscaping with hanging planters: • Use “no-brainer” containers, or lightweight pots lined with moss or coconut fiber that are easy to handle. Avoid ceramic, cast concrete or terra cotta.

• Soak rather than simply water. “Once the media becomes really dry, it is difficult to re-wet it,” Finneran said. “Just take the basket down once a week and soak for one hour in a wheelbarrow to be sure the center of the container is fully moistened.”

• Pinch back dead blooms, and remove brown or leggy foliage to keep the basket looking fresh. “Don’t forget that pruning plants in the basket, such as petunias, will cause them to flush out new growth resulting in fresh blooms,” Finneran said.

• Use potting soil with time-release fertilizer rather than dirt taken straight from the garden. It drains better, so roots won’t rot if overwatered.

• When designing a hanging pot, Dabbs said one old rule is to include “a thriller, spiller and filler.”

But she advises just going with what you like.

“When in doubt, go to a local garden center or nursery for inspiration, and let plant availability be your guide,” she said.

Walking a heart-healthy exercise Dear Doctor: My New Year’s resolution was to get more exercise and, I hope, lose a few pounds.

Walking is an activity I know I can stick with, but I keep hearing that I should aim for 10,000 steps a day.

Where does that number come from, and am I wasting my time if I do less?

Dear Reader: In the battle to sit less and move more, you’ve already nailed the crucial element – picking an activity that will survive the inevitable day that your New Year’s fervor wears off.

Walking is a great option – it’s easy, inexpensive and low-impact, and can be done just about anywhere. Best of all, walking has multiple health benefits.

Walking will do more than just help you control your weight. In fact, even if you don’t lose any weight at all, you’ll still come out ahead.

People who are physically active lower their risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression and even some cancers.

Bottom line – they live longer.

For optimal health benefits, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say we should spend at least 150 minutes per week doing a moderately paced aerobic activity for no less than 10 minutes at a stretch. (Or 75 minutes a week of vigorous physical activity, but that’s an answer to a different question.)

Those 150 minutes of moderate activity can absolutely be spent in your chosen method – walking – as long as it’s at a brisk pace.

Three to four miles an hour is about right for most of us. That’s fast enough so that your heart gets pumping, yet you’re still able to carry on a conversation.

Which brings us to the question of distance, and the mystery of the 10,000 steps.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier It turns out that this goal dates back to the mid-1960s, when a pedometer sold in Japan was marketed as “manpo-kei,” which translates to “10,000 steps meter.”

More than 50 years later, we’re still in thrall to that clever bit of advertising.

But those 10,000 steps – that’s about five miles – had a toehold in science. A study at the time found that men who burned 2,000 calories per week through exercise measurably lowered their risk of heart disease.

Since a five-mile walk uses roughly 300 calories, to burn 2,000 calories a week takes 10,000 steps.

Is 10,000 steps a make-or-break number from the outset? The short answer is no. Any amount of physical activity above and beyond what you’re presently doing is beneficial. The main thing is to ease into your new exercise program in a way that’s both safe and sustainable.

Begin with a comfortable pace and a reasonable distance. Maybe that’s a 10-minute walk around the block or a brisk two miles to work. Challenge yourself to go a bit farther each week.

Whether you’re taken with the symmetry of 10,000 steps, or prefer the CDC’s recommendation of 150 minutes of exercise a week, what matters most is that you get – and stay – moving.

your son was a minor, you could not afford to get him the orthodontia he needed, which is sad. That said, if you wish to help him now and doing so would not put undue financial pressure on you, go ahead and help him out. However, if you are being guilted into paying because your financially independent son thinks he is “entitled” to it, then forking over the money would be a mistake.

would suggest that he has a crush on you. But by the age of 13 or 14, he should have learned what “no” and “stop” means. I don’t blame you for being concerned because the young man is acting like a stalker. Nobody has a right to touch you – or your hair – without your permission. You have a right to feel safe. Do your parents know about this? If you told a teacher about what has been going on and were ignored, tell a counselor or the principal of your “good” school about it.

Dear Abby: My 30-year-old son insists that I should help pay for the orthodontia he feels he should have had as a child. He is a grown man now with three children of his own, and I am not sure if I, his dad, should financially help him with this. What do you think? – Bracing For An

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY Recently, while making a purJeanne chase at a local Phillips store and handing the cashier my money, she asked, “How many months along are you?” I was confused for a moment, until I realized she had assumed I was pregnant. (I’m not.)

When I told her I wasn’t, she just shrugged and said, “Oh.” Abby, my feelings were hurt. I will most likely never see that cashier again – and I do not know her – but I would like to know how to respond to this in the future. I don’t believe people should assume a woman is pregnant unless they know for sure that she is. What she said made me instantly want to lash out. However, I knew that responding with more rudeness would do no good. So, what should I say if this ever happens again? – Not pregnant in Alabama Dear Not Pregnant: You handled the situation appropriately. The cashier was presumptuous. If it happens again, either handle it the way you did with that clerk or say, “Why do you ask?” and let the person squirm. The choice is yours.

Dear Abby: I’m an eighth-grader with a good life. I go to a good school, have good friends and a happy family. But at school, there is this boy who follows me around. I tell him to stop, but he keeps doing it. When I tell my friends about it, they laugh and think it’s funny. I don’t feel like it’s a joke. It’s creepy. I have tried to tell adults, but they don’t do anything. Recently I dyed the tips of my hair blue, and at lunch he walked up, grabbed my hair and felt it. I feel like it was an invasion of my personal space. Because he won’t stop following me around and being creepy, my grades have dropped. I’m distracted in class and nervous. What do you think I should do? – Invad-

FREE ADMISSION Proceeds Go To A British show I really enjoyed that ran for six seasons was “Goodnight, Sweetheart.” It was about someone living in the 1990s in London, who accidentally finds a time portal that transports him back to 1942, in the middle of World War II. He travels back and forth between the two time periods.

A bridge declarer sometimes needs to travel back and forth between his hand and the dummy. His success in achieving those crossings can govern whether or not he makes his contract.

In this deal, how should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart eight?

South made a textbook weak jump overcall, and North took a sensible shot at game.

Declarer has four losers (two hearts and two clubs) and only nine winners (six spades, one heart and two diamonds). He must establish dummy’s diamond suit, but that requires ruffing diamonds in his hand and being able to return to the dummy twice. South needs to be careful with the spade king and queen.

Declarer should win the first trick, cash the spade ace, play off dummy’s top diamonds and ruff a diamond high in hand. He leads a trump to dummy’s queen, ruffs a diamond high, plays a spade to dummy’s king (drawing West’s last trump) and discards a heart or a club on the diamond six.

(In August, Phillip is running the bridge on a Kalos golf-and-bridge cruise down the Danube from Nuremburg to Budapest with an optional three-day extension to Prague.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 53, HUNTLEY 41

Wolves keep cool

Prairie Ridge solves Huntley after halftime

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Closing posed no problem for Prairie Ridge, which adeptly handled the ball late against Huntley and scored its final 13 points either on layups or free throws.

On the other hand, getting in a position to close out the Red Raiders proved somewhat challenging.

“We kept our composure, we started to move the ball, trust the process and we really found each other instead of trying to force a shot,” Wolves guard Trevor Potter said. “We slowed down and kept our composure in the second half and that really got us going.”

Prairie Ridge grabbed the lead for the first time in the first minute of the second half and held it the rest of the way for a 53-41 boys basketball victory Friday night that gave the Wolves sole possession of second place in the Fox Valley Conference.

The Wolves (20-7 overall, 14-2 FVC) finished one game behind Jacobs and reached 20 wins for their second consecutive season.

“If you’re in a position to have to come get us (late in games), we have some very good guards,” Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card said. “Get to an open hole and wait for the ball.”

Which was basically what forward Austen Ferbet did in the fourth quarter. Ferbet swished a 17-footer at the 5:16 mark, then hung out around the baseline and found open spots, getting three late layups to seal the win.

“I can’t complain about those, it was great,” said Ferbet, a 6-foot-4 senior who led all players with 18 points and seven rebounds. “We came out really strong in the second half. We knew this game could set the tone for the playoffs, so we have to come out (hard).”

Ferbet hit a layup to start the second half and give the Wolves the lead for good. Potter hit Prairie Ridge’s only 3-pointer of the game shortly after that, but Matt Seng’s three 3s in the third quarter kept Huntley (7-19, 5-11) close.

Prairie Ridge’s Trevor Potter shoots over Huntley’s Cory Knipp in the third quarter of Friday’s game at Huntley. Potter scored 14 points in Prairie Ridge’s 53-41 victory.

“The first time we played them, they just smoked us,” Benson said. “It was only 11 points, but we were not in it physically. I loved our fight (tonight).

We fought really hard, then they got free throws and closed the door. When you have as many wins as they do, you do a good job with that.”

Huntley’s Cory Knipp scored all 14 of his points in the first half, hitting four 3s, to lead the Raiders to their 2322 halftime advantage.

“I thought our composure was really good in the first half,” Card said.

“They were really physical with us.

They did a good job not giving us second shots. We just kept plugging away.

We didn’t panic.”

Potter scored 14 points, and Brian Dorn added 10 for the Wolves, who are the No. 3 seed in next week’s Class 4A Larkin Regional.

BOYS SWIMMING: IHSA STATE MEET

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Omid Babakhani

Cary-Grove co-op (CL Central), jr.

In his first state race, Babakhani swam a 21.64 third leg of the 200-yard freestyle relay, the fastest 50-yard split of his team.

q THE NUMBER

1.24

Seconds away from becoming the first relay team in program history to reach a state final.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Although the Trojans’ 2016 200 freestyle relay finished 15th overall, compared to this year’s team which finished 21st, this year’s team was actually 0.04 seconds faster in the state prelims (1:27.3 vs. 1:27.34). The rest of the field was faster as well, however. Last year, the consolation finals cutoff in the 200 freestyle relay was 1:26.86, and this year it was 1:26.06.

Trojans decided to juggle their lineup, sending Hare, the only one with state experience, into the water first to set the tone. “We’ve got this,” he calmly told his teammates before swimming a 21.96 and passing it off to Fadden in second place.

The sophomore swam a 21.76, pushing the Trojans into the lead.

“I think coming off of Ethan, my momentum going into the water was just good and the hype of swimming in state on a relay that I haven’t been to yet was an unforgettable experience,” Fadden said.

Babakhani, a state alternate last year, swam the team’s best split in the third leg, going 21.64. When Babakhani emerged from the pool and a teammate told him his split, he thumped his chest and let out a huge yell.

“I was just really pumped up,” Babakhani said. “I’ve been a little frustrated with what I’ve been swimming this year. But that I had so much fun with it, to be honest, I could have gone the slowest time and still been psyched. Especially since we dropped time in that relay.

So no matter what we did, that’s a win.”

Castro brought it home with a 21.94 in the last leg, holding on for the heat victory.

“First time here, obviously, an unforgettable experience,” Castro said. “I was up in the stands last year supporting the guys, and it’s just a whole different world to be down on deck, getting all the nerves building up within you.”

The Trojans, who swam in the second of five heats, watched the next three heats from a corner of the deck as their chances of advancing faded.

“It’s still state,” Babakhani and

Hare said to each other, hugging after the third heat all but eliminated them.

There were brief refrains of “we’ve got a shot” after one team was disqualified, but after the fourth heat definitely eliminated them, they moved pool-side and enjoyed watching the final heat without keeping an eye on the scoreboard, other than to admire the winning times (1:22.24).

Long afterward, Babakhani still couldn’t wipe the wide, beaming smile from his face.

“It’s amazing, best feeling I’ve ever had,” Babakhani said. He called the atmosphere and energy “not even comparable” to a typical meet. “I can’t say anything, I’m speechless.”

Hare also was the only local to qualify for an individual event, reaching state in the 200 freestyle. Hare swam a 1:44.36 in his state prelim, taking third in his heat but missing the cut for finals. He placed 26th out of 39 swimmers, missing out on the top 12 by 3.24 seconds.

“It was a really fun race. I liked it. I only gained about three-tenths from my sectional time (1:44.01), which was pretty good. I wanted to be in the 1:43s,” Hare said. “That’s a pretty good time, I’d say.

I took 25th or 26th. That’s a pretty cool thing for me to be able to say. It was just a really cool experience. All in all, lot of fun, good last meet.”

Golden Eagles pull away for 3rd straight FVC title

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Six-foot-nine Jacobs center Cameron Krutwig felt he started slowly in Tuesday’s one-point win over McHenry.

Not so Friday.

Krutwig scored Jacobs’ first eight points in a 53-38 win over Dundee-Crown.

A win in the regular-season finale locked up the Golden Eagles’ third consecutive Fox Valley Conference championship.

Krutwig scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Jacobs (26-1, 15-1 FVC).

“I was just trying to look for my shots a little more in the first quarter,” Krutwig said. “Last game, I kind of started off slow. So I just came out and looked for my shot, quick finishes, and that will get my teammates going.”

Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts thought D-C (4-22, 2-14 FVC) gave Krutwig more room to work with than most teams.

“He gets swarmed so much in our league,” Roberts said. “I thought he actually had a little bit of space. He was

It was good to see him knock down a couple shots, not just post moves.”

The Eagles jumped out to an 11-point lead in the first quarter. D-C cut that to

two midway through the second, thanks in large part to six Jacobs turnovers in that stretch.

Eagles senior forward Mason Materna knocked down a couple of big shots to extend the lead back to nine points by halftime. Materna finished the game with 13 points, all in the first half.

“I mean, it’s senior night,” Materna said. “I was just going to shoot if I was open, and they were falling. It was good to get us rolling like that.”

D-C coach Lance Huber thought his team capitalized on some easy looks in transition in the second quarter, before the Eagles went on their 9-0 run before the break.

“When we don’t turn it over, we usually are OK,” Huber said. “We sometimes dig ourselves a hole and have a hard time getting out of it.”

For D-C, Gabriel Bergeron scored eight points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Jack Orndahl scored seven points, and Brett Buske added six.

Jacobs cruised through the second half.

The senior night festivities included a packed home side of the stands and a strong student section all in gold.

“This might be the most people I’ve ever seen at a game,” Krutwig said. “It was crazy. They did a really good job. I want to thank the community for coming out to the game. [It] made it a special night.”

Jacobs needed the win to stand alone atop the FVC. The Eagles won the conference by one game over Prairie Ridge, which handed them their only loss.

Jacobs will open regional play at home Tuesday against either Crystal Lake South or Streamwood. Roberts wanted his team to soak in the conference title before the focus turns to the IHSA state tournament.

“We have such a great group of kids; it’s really a once-in-a-lifetime group,” Roberts said. “We only lost one game, 15-1 in the league. I don’t care how good or down people say a league is, to go 15-1 against familiar opponents when you’re the target every night, it’s a tremendous accomplishment by our guys.”

WINNETKA – The Cary-Grove coop 200-yard freestyle relay team ran the gamut of emotions on the pool deck Friday evening at New Trier: confidence, exuberance, acceptance, hope and pride.

The Trojans’ team of Ethan Hare, Kolin Fadden, Omid Babakhani and Cameron Castro won their preliminary heat Friday at the IHSA boys swimming state meet but fell short of advancing to Saturday’s finals. The District 155 co-op team finished 21st overall with a time of 1:27.3.

They missed the consolation finals (top 12) by 1.24 seconds.

“You know what, that was really fun,” Hare, the lone senior and a team captain, said. “I mean, honestly, we were going in thinking we could be in the 1:26 range, thought finaling was a possibility, but even though we missed that, we came into state and we dropped time, which is something that we were not able to do last year.

“So I’m just really proud of these guys for not only holding it together but coming in and doing even better than sectionals. It was a lot of fun; great last race for me.”

The Trojans took 0.32 seconds off their time from last week’s sectional.

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 66, WOODSTOCK 39

Indians avenge loss to Blue Streaks

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com MARENGO – What an enormous difference a month made for the Marengo boys basketball team.

During the final week of January, the Indians gave up 83 points in a Kishwaukee River Conference road loss to Woodstock.

But when the teams squared off again Friday night, the result couldn’t have been more different. Marengo coasted to a 66-39 blowout over the Blue Streaks at home in the regular-season finale for both clubs.

“That loss in January probably cost us a share of the conference title, so we kind of felt we needed to come out tonight and make a statement, or get some revenge,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said.

The outcome wasn’t so certain early on, as Woodstock led by as many as nine late in the first quarter and shot 8 for 14 from the field during the game’s opening eight minutes. But Marengo countered with a hot stretch of its own, going 8 for 12 from the field in the second quarter, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range.

The Blue Streaks had no answer

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

It was the final regular-season home game for the Indians’ five seniors, Connor Wascher, John Henning, Michael Volkening, Carter Olson and Scott Toler. They were honored for their contributions during a pregame ceremony. for Indians senior guard Mike Volkening, who scored a game-high 25 points to go along with seven rebounds.

“We knew they’d be keying on me,” Volkening said. “And when they did, I just tried to move the ball as quickly as possible to keep their defense on its toes.

We did a tremendous job of sharing the ball and being unselfish.”

The Indians dished out assists on 20 of their 29 made field goals, led by junior point guard Blaine Borhart, who had seven. Blue Streaks coach Al Baker did everything in his power to make things difficult, but not much worked.

“Our goal was to do things different tonight,” Baker said. “With it being our last game of the regular season, we decided to mix it up and try some stuff we normally wouldn’t. We probably used six or seven defenses out there during the game.”

That included a 1-3-1 zone, box-and-1 and triangle-and-2 defensive schemes.

“The kids asked me last night if we could try some things, including the triangle-and-2, so I said, ‘What the heck, why not?’ ” Baker said. “It was probably half wanting to give these kids something fun and unique to enjoy before the playoffs begin. But the other half of it was very serious, and us experimenting, throwing different looks at Marengo to see how they’d react. We know we may play them again next week in the playoffs.”

As efficient as Marengo’s offense was, its defense – particularly in the second

half, when it held Woodstock to a 2-for27 shooting mark from the field – was stellar. The collective defensive effort of Borhart, Volkening, Connor Wascher, Jake LaSota, Alejandro Rodriguez (12 points) and Carter Olson (10 points) could serve as a blueprint once the postseason begins next week.

“Coach Wright made us watch film of our loss to Woodstock last month prior to this game, and I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Borhart said. “There was just no effort on defense, no hustle. We were like a different team I didn’t recognize. Boy, did that change tonight.”

The Indians (21-7, 9-3 KRC) finished second in the conference standings, a game behind Burlington Central, after the Rockets wrapped up the KRC title with a 74-54 win over Woodstock North on Friday night.

Woodstock (11-17, 6-6), meanwhile, faces Woodstock North on Monday in a Class 3A Richmond-Burton Regional quarterfinal. The winner of that game plays Marengo in the semifinal round, meaning the Blue Streaks and Indians could see each other again Tuesday, for the second time in a four-day span.

Woodstock got a team-high 14 points from senior guard Matt Shook.

After shooting 7 of 32 from the 3-point line in that loss to Marengo, the Rockets (17-12, 9-3 KRC) made 10 of 20 3-point attempts before the starters were pulled with 4:56 remaining in the third quarter.

But the real turning point in the game, aside from Harvard (5-21, 0-12) having no answer for Bayer’s hot shooting, came after senior Eric McDowell cut an early Rockets lead to 1210 with 4:35 left in the first quarter.

Not only did the Hornets not score again until the 5:27 mark of the second quarter, but R-B went on a 28-0 run, fueled by Bayer scoring 16 straight points at one point.

“We don’t take anyone lightly, no matter what their record is,” said Bayer, whose 16 straight for the Rockets were one fewer than his entire output against Marengo. “We have a lot of 3-point shooters, and it’s tough when guys aren’t making shots. Once one guy starts hitting shots, we all feed off of each other.”

Bayer and Kaufman (17 points) helped R-B stretch its lead to 30 before

the Hornets scored again.

Kaufman said his team is capable of shooting this way in the postseason as long as it’s confident, something that Friday night’s win helped with its next game coming in regional play on its home floor.

“Every time he hits three or four in a row, it’s pretty crazy,” Kaufman said of Bayer. “Not many kids can do that, hitting from all over the court.

We can be really good when we make shots. We’ve seen it before in games against the teams at the top of our conference. It’s just really nice when we’re all hitting shots. You could tell in practice how eager we were to get back out here.”

Hector Chavera led Harvard with nine points.

The Rockets will take on the winner of Johnsburg vs. Harvard’s Class 3A R-B Regional quarterfinal. Johnsburg has beaten the Rockets in two of three meetings this season.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Michigan State and Tom Izzo repeatedly have made March the Spartans’ month with strong finishes and Final Four runs. The Spartans are having a tougher time locking down their NCAA tournament spot and building late-season momentum this time.

Michigan State (17-11, 9-6 Big Ten) has won five of seven but likely still has work ahead to ensure a Big Ten-record 20th straight NCAA trip.

“I just plan on us figuring out a way,” Izzo said this week. “If I’m talking about it, there’s five other Big Ten teams talking about it, there’s four or five ACC teams, there’s three or four SEC teams. I mean, there are so many teams that are 6-8 to 8-6 around the country that everybody’s in the same boat.”

The Spartans – with seven Final Fours under Izzo, most recently in 2015 – started with a No. 12 preseason ranking in the Top 25 despite significant personnel losses that included national player of the year Denzel Valentine. But they fell out before December while playing a crushing schedule that included losses to Arizona, Kentucky, Baylor in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament and Duke.

Michigan State also lost twice to 14th-ranked Big Ten leader Purdue, and lost at home in December to a Northeastern team that sits at No. 131 in the RPI. Michigan State is No. 43 in the RPI and No. 52 in KenPom rankings after Thursday’s win against Nebraska.

6 BULLS

Butler plays good soldier after trade

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – On Friday, Jimmy Butler made sure to say all the right things.

Lesson learned from January, when he and teammate Dwyane Wade – at least in the eyes of the Bulls organization – said all the wrong things when they called their teammates out.

Hit Butler with a fine once, shame on Gar/Pax. Look to fine him twice? He’s not going to allow that to even happen.

So when asked about the Thursday comments from VP of basketball operations John Paxson, Butler played the role of good soldier.

It was after the Bulls announced a trade that sent out Doug McDermott and Taj Gibson, as well as a 2018 second-round draft pick, to Oklahoma City for Cameron Payne, Joffrey Lauvergne and Anthony Morrow that Paxson went out of his way to point out that Butler was just a piece for the Bulls, not THE piece.

“I’ve always felt this way about team building and a team in general:

this game, you build with players, not around one.”

Many organizations would differ from that opinion.

Privately, sources have indicated that Butler differs from that opinion.

But he was willing to dance the dance with his bosses Friday.

“No, I don’t,” Butler said, when asked if he took those comments of simply being a piece to build with personally. “No organization is the same. Everybody has different personnel. I don’t care if anybody wants to build around me. Just win. At the end of the day, when you win, everything is fine, whether you’re built around or not built around. Everybody’s happy. All of that is just background AP photo noise. I just want to win at all costs.”

That idea was a much tougher sell for Bulls forward Jimmy Butler scores in front of Suns defender Alex Len during the first Wade, however. Then again, three NBA half of Friday night’s game at the United rings speaks with a bit more volume.

“I think, individually, I believe you Center. The Bulls won, 128-121, in overtime. build around with players in mind, to There are very few guys who you build know what style you want to play,” around,” Paxson said. “This is a team Wade said. “Or you build around a game. You build with players. We are coach you bring in. You’ve got to build building with Jimmy right now. I’m a around something, an idea, whether very firm believer that, maybe outside it’s a player or a style, and that shows of a handful of guys who ever played what kind of players you want to bring

in. But I’m not in their position. I don’t have the experience that Pax and Gar (Forman) have. I would never say that they were wrong at all.”

The other topic Butler couldn’t avoid having to discuss was the idea of the Bulls in discussions to possibly trade him twice now since June, but also not promising anything to him long-term.

Several in the organization feel Butler could be moved this summer, and Paxson did little to downplay that.

“Right now, today, Jimmy is on our roster,” Paxson said. “And Jimmy is under contract for two more years. …

This league is fluid. And things can change quickly.”

Loyalty should work both ways, but Butler wasn’t going to get into that.

“I think I have one job to do, and it’s not to worry about whether someone is loyal or not,” Butler said. “It’s to go out there and hoop. I think they’re going to put us in the best position possible to win games here.

“What they’re doing is what they believe is right for this team. Our job is to go out there and make it work. Win games to the best or our ability. Loyalty, no loyalty, go out there and compete.”

BULLS NOTES

Wade, Butler take charge in OT win vs. Suns

By JOE COWLEY

BULLS 128, SUNS 121 (OT)

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Dwyane Wade chooses to deal in real talk.

So when the Bulls veteran was asked Friday whether the team was now worse off post-trade deadline, there was little hesitation in his reply.

“We’re [29-29],” Wade said. “It’s not like we’re 40-and-something.”

“The (new) guys are going to come in, they’re going to have to plug in and do their job Dwyane Wade and do what they can for this team. It will be different than what Taj (Gibson) brought and what Doug (McDermott) brought. From that standpoint, yeah, we’re going to miss those guys.”

Over the remaining 24 games in the regular season? Definitely. Against an 18-40 Phoenix team at the United Center? Not so much.

deficit, beating the Suns, 128-121, in overtime.

All Wade did in the overtime was score 10 points, while Butler added seven. But it was Butler who helped get it to overtime, nailing a 3-pointer to tie the score with 48.2 seconds left in regulation, and then a 13-foot fadeaway with 9.1 seconds.

Devin Booker had a chance to give the Suns the lead from the free-throw line with 1.5 seconds left, but missed the third free throw after he was fouled

by Wade on a 3-point attempt.

It didn’t hurt that rookie Denzel Valentine chipped in 15 points, while Nikola Mirotic had 20.

And as far as the new guys acquired from Oklahoma City for Gibson and McDermott, Anthony Morrow and Joffrey Lauvergne didn’t see a minute of action, while point guard Cameron Payne was inactive because of an illness.

Coach Fred Hoiberg said he still was not sure how they would be worked in or how quickly, but he was excited to start the process.

So was Payne, who was the main piece for the Bulls in the deal.

“Especially because I’m a point guard, I have to learn so much,” Payne said. “And defensive-wise, I’ve only been on one side of the spectrum. I’ve only been with the Thunder all my career, so coming over here it’s going to be something new. I feel like I can pick up on it fast. I’m going to be ready to listen.”

For another day: The fact that general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson now are stressing “the process of getting

younger,” didn’t get past Wade’s ears.

The 35-year-old was asked if he felt the front office even wanted him back next year, especially because Wade controls the option, and replied, “I don’t know, I haven’t had that conversation about next season with the guys.”

Wade said he would look at what would be best for him when the time comes.

“I think we all understood when I came here I signed a two-year deal with a one-year option, and both sides wanted it that way,” Wade said. “And when the time came, no matter the teammates I had and the season we had, it was going to be my option. I take my option seriously.”

New No. 1 in town: Michael Carter-Williams took Derrick Rose’s jersey No. 1 when he first was acquired from Milwaukee in training camp, and quickly switched to No. 7 when he heard the negative feedback from the Rose apologists still alive and well.

Newly acquired Morrow didn’t seem to be bothered by that type of potential blowback, announcing that he would wear No. 1.

Matthys heads back to nationals:

McHenry West grad Michaela Matthys, a two-time All-American swimmer at D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater, is heading back to nationals next month.

Matthys, a junior, has the nation’s 14th-best time in the 100-yard butterfly.

Her school-record effort of 55.8 seconds came in last week’s Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships, when she won her third consecutive title in the event. Her time set a WIAC meet record.

She also is eligible to compete at nationals in the 100 breaststroke and 50

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino freestyle.

Matthys ranks 30th nationally in the 50 free (school-record time of 23.77) and 36th in the 100 breaststroke (team-best 1:05.57).

Orange makes first team: Chrishawn Orange, a sophomore men’s basketball guard at D-III Augustana College, was unanimously chosen first-team All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin this week.

Orange, a Jacobs grad, averages a team-high 13.8 points a game for the Vikings (18-7), who finished in a three-way tie for the regular-season league title.

He also ranked second on the team in steals (34) and contributed 3.1 rebounds a game.

In conference games, Orange averaged 16.4 points a game, which ranked fifth in the league.

Clark unleashes big throw: Crystal Lake South grad Kianna Clark posted a career-best toss of 55 feet, 2 inches last weekend in the weight throw to help D-II Lewis University’s women’s track and field team win the Cardinal Classic in Naperville.

Clark, a sophomore, finished second in the event while bettering her personal-best effort in the event by nearly 3 feet. She also finished fourth in the shot put with a throw of 36-4¼.

Whitewater rolls to record: Wisconsin-Whitewater junior Karissa Gonio (Dundee-Crown) combined with four other women’s bowling teammates last weekend to roll a school-record 290 Baker game during Valparaiso University’s Crusader Classic.

Gonio and her teammates closed with 11 consecutive strikes to surpass the previous record of 268 set in 2012.

The historic game came during a 4-2 victory against 11th-ranked Central Missouri and helped the No. 14 Warhawks place third out of 11 teams at the tournament.

Benedictine victor: Michael Kruse (Hampshire) earned a victory last weekend in his first career pitching appearance for NAIA Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.

Kruse, a freshman right-hander, allowed one hit over three innings of relief to help the Ravens rally past Morningside College, 7-6.

Trees line the outside of the fence around Menlo College’s baseball field in Atherton, California.

Players in the Oaks’ program have done plenty to live up to the team’s “feed the trees” motto.

Under fourth-year coach Jake McKinley, the NAIA Oaks posted a school-record 35 wins last season and bashed a record 80 home runs.

This season, Prairie Ridge graduate Jordan Getzelman has continued the team’s power-packed approach. The junior outfielder has a team-leading five homers while batting .341 for the Oaks (10-1).

“This is the first season I’ve really focused on elevating the baseJordan ball,” said Getzelman, Getzelman a transfer from NCAA Division I Kennesaw (Georgia) State.

“It’s definitely different from anything I’ve ever learned before. But it’s working out for me.”

Batting fifth in the Menlo lineup, Getzelman ranks second with 15 RBIs on a team that has won 10 games in a row. The latest victory was Thursday’s 4-3 victory against No. 8 Westmont College in Santa Barbara.

“I’ve felt much more confident in what I’m doing,” Getzelman said. “I think I still have room to improve. The number I’m worried about most is being [10-1].”

With 15 transfers on the roster, Getzelman has found a fit at the school, which is located near Stanford University in northern California.

“There are several people, like me, who have come from different places,” he said. “My roommate came in from Oregon State. We’re all looking for our new start.”

Getzelman’s fresh start has involved being a key part of the lineup and patrolling center field for the Oaks.

“I feel like it’s where I’m most comfortable,” said Getzelman, who also has played right field in his college career.

“Center field is definitely my home.”

Buehrle frets jersey retirement speech

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Mark Buehrle said he was “blown away and floored” by the White Sox’s decision to retire his number, an honor the popular lefthander still is trying to wrap his head around.

He also is trying to cope with the thought of making a speech in front of what should be – based on his immense popularity as a player – a big crowd when the Sox pay tribute to him before the team hosts the Athletics on June 24.

“I’m just trying to not pass out from thinking I’ve got to get up there and do a speech,’’ Buehrle said. “You think I’m joking, I’m not.”

That’s Buehrle, humble, down-toearth ordinary guy, consummate pro and fan favorite who performed at a high level year in and year out with less than spectacular stuff. Keeping a low profile on his farm in Missouri, Buehrle hasn’t talked to media since pitching his last game for the Blue Jays at the end of the 2015 season.

Buehrle made his mark with the Sox, making nine Opening Day starts in 10 seasons, pitching a no-hitter and

Former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle said he is nervous about making a speech when his uniform No. 56 is retired June 24. perfect game, making four All-Star teams, winning three Gold Gloves and helping the Sox win a World Series.

“It’s hard to wrap your head around,’’ Buehrle said of the honor. “I was blown away and floored by it. It’s a great honor. You don’t really intend for it to happen, or you don’t play for that reason. You just go out there and play.’’

The Sox announced Thursday that Buehrle would be the 11th Sox player

to have his number retired. He talked with reporters on a conference call Friday.

“I’ve been joking around with friends saying my jersey is going to be up there next to (Hall of Famer) Frank Thomas,” Buehrle said.

Buehrle said he misses the camaraderie of the clubhouse and teammates but hasn’t missed playing as much as he thought he would, mostly because his wife, Jamie, two children and four dogs have kept him busy at home.

He knew for some time, he said, that his career would be over when his contract was up in Toronto.

“A big part of it was missing the family. They weren’t up in Toronto the whole season, and I think that just kind of drained on me,” he said. “The reason I didn’t say anything, I didn’t want all the attention.”

He came into baseball as a 38thround draft pick by the Sox. “Kind of snuck into the big leagues, and I wanted to kind of sneak my way out,” he said.

The attention June 24 will be unavoidable, however.

“I just did what I was supposed to do, had fun with it and lived every day like

it was my last,” Buehrle said. “Now my number is going to be up there. I haven’t really soaked everything in. It just doesn’t make sense right now.”

Notes: Carson Fulmer will start the Cactus League opener against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Saturday (AM-890, Whitesox.com).“Hopefully, I can keep the scorecard or something,” Fulmer said of opposing the Los Angeles superstar.

• Jose Quintana starts Sunday against the Rockies and Lucas Giolito on Monday against the Cubs.

• The Sox agreed to terms with 25 players, including Carlos Rodon, Tim Anderson and Tyler Saladino, bringing all on the 40-man roster under contract.

Rodon ($600,000) is the highest paid of the lot. The major league minimum is $535,000.

• Rodon, who hasn’t thrown a bullpen session yet, will throw long toss for the second time in three days Saturday, manager Rick Renteria said. “We’re going to give him a few more sessions of those and see where he’s at.”

• Jesse Crain (Sunday) and Matt Thornton (March 4) are scheduled to work alongside Russ Langer on webcasts this spring.

MLB NOTES

Catcher Wieters signs with Nats after freak injury The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Matt Wieters said he managed to cut his left wrist severely by breaking a five-gallon glass water container in his garage Nov. 1, delaying his offseason preparation – and, he thinks, his chance to find a deal in free agency.

“It’s tough finding a team when you can’t do anything baseball-related,” Wieters said Friday, when the catcher took batting practice and ran conditioning sprints at spring training with the Washington Nationals after his signing was announced. “They told me I was very lucky that it wasn’t worse than it was.”

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Wieters agreed to a $21 million, two-year deal worth $10.5 million annually, one that gives him the right to terminate the agreement after this season and become a free agent again. It includes $2.5 million each year in deferred salary.

Now the obstacle for Wieters is getting up to speed with the reigning NL East champions’ pitching staff. The Nationals’ first exhibition game is Saturday against the division rival New York

Mets.

“There’s definitely enough time,” Wieters said. “As a catcher, I’d love to have as much as possible. Being able to listen (to the pitchers) and how they pitch will help me out a lot.”

He joins a crowded clubhouse of catchers.

Jose Lobaton and Pedro Severino played in Washington last season, and the club traded Matt Wieters for San Diego’s Derek Norris. In all, there are six catchers on the 40-man roster.

General manager Mike Rizzo described Wieters as “a leader in the clubhouse and on the field” for the Baltimore Orioles, the only major league club the four-time All-Star has played for until now.

Wieters, 30, has a .256 career batting average with 117 homers and 437 RBIs over eight seasons. Last year, he hit .244 with 17 homers and 66 RBIs in 124 games Wieters’ deal calls for deferred payments of $1.25 million each Jan. 15 in 2018 and 2019 for this year’s salary, and for each Jan. 15 in 2019 and 2020 if the

contract is kept for a second season.

He would get $500,000 if he wins an MVP award, $250,000 for finishing second, $150,000 for third, $100,000 for fourth and $75,000 for fifth. He also would get $250,000 for World Series MVP, $150,000 for League Championship Series MVP and $100,000 for making the All-Star Game, winning a Gold Silver Slugger or winning a Silver Slugger.

The 29-year-old Brantley played in only 11 games last season as he was unable to make a full recovery after offseason surgery on his right shoulder. He had another operation in August to relieve tendinitis in his biceps.

An All-Star in 2014, Brantley initially injured his shoulder diving for a ball on Sept. 22, 2015.

At Goodyear, Arizona, Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley participated in regular batting practice for the first time in training camp this year, a significant step in his latest comeback from a shoulder injury.

Brantley took 120 swings in an outdoor batting cage Friday as several Cleveland coaches and medical director Lonnie Soloff watched intently. Brantley had been limited to soft-toss workouts, but he was able to take full cuts against normal pitches.

“He looks real good,” batting coach Ty Van Burkleo said. “If you didn’t know he was rehabbing, you’d think he was just getting ready for the day. His volume is up. He looks really good. The ball’s coming off his bat nicely.”

Georgia defensive back Sanders Commings is looking to play another sport.

The 26-year-old Commings has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves.

An outfielder who hasn’t played baseball since high school in Augusta, Georgia, Commings faces long odds to become one of the rare players to make it to both the NFL and Major League Baseball.

He was drafted out of high school by the Arizona Diamondbacks but chose to play college football at Georgia.

Commings was a fifth-round pick by Kansas City in the 2013 NFL draft. He was released after two injury-plagued seasons with the Chiefs and turned his attention to baseball.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Joe Lewnard – jlewnard@dailyherald.com

Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward takes a practice swing in between turns in the batting cage Friday at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. with the hitting lagging far behind, as evidenced by a batting line of .230/.306/.325 with seven homers and 49 RBIs. So in the offseason, Heyward went to work with Cubs batting coach John Mallee and assistant Eric Hinske to recapture the form of 2012, when Heyward went .269/.335/.479 with 27 homers and 82 RBIs for the Atlanta Braves.

“You just start somewhere,” he said earlier in spring training. “It’s sounds funny, but you just start somewhere. As far as what I was looking at going

into the offseason, what coach Mallee and (Hinske) were looking at was 2012, as far as just the mechanics and the freedom that I had and how I was tension-free, relaxed at the plate, and I did a good job of getting myself in position to hit.

“That’s the name of hitting, being in a good position to hit.

Give yourself an opportunity.

Give yourself some air. That’s all we worked on, just being in a good position to hit, being tension-free, relaxed up there, find some comfort in that and go from there. There’s no per-

year.

“That’s what I was talking about all last year,” Maddon said. “Everybody’s focused on his batting average, and I know that’s how our game is played.

But if you have the privilege of being with him in the clubhouse and in the dugout, I get something entirely different: baserunning, defense, throwing ability, accuracy.

“And just as a teammate, I’ve talked about this before, and you’ve all seen it when they come off the field from the outfield, they’ll gather in front of the dugout (and do) the little high-five with the gloves with each other. Love it. That’s the kind of stuff that can really build positive momentum.”

So, is he living proof that anyone can improve?

“Am I living proof? Everybody’s living proof,” he said.

“That’s the game of baseball.

That’s sports. Especially this game, I’ve heard it from Hall of Famers. I’ve heard if from guys in their first year: You can never stop learning if you’re hungry and eager to learn. There’s always something to learn in this game, which makes it fun.”

CUBS NOTES

Cubs, Strop agree to contract extension

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Pedro Strop’s career took a turn for the better when he was traded to the Cubs from the Baltimore Orioles in July 2013.

On Friday, the Cubs and Strop decided to continue their relationship through at least the 2018 season. The two sides recently avoided salary arbitration by agreeing on a contract for this year worth $5.5 million. The extension pays Strop $5.85 million in 2018.

There is a club option for $6.25 million for 2019 or a buyout worth $500,000.

Strop, 31, came to the Cubs in the same deal that brought starting pitcher Jake Arrieta to Chicago. The Cubs gave up pitcher Scott Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger.

In his time with the Cubs, Strop is 8-14 with a 2.68 ERA, six saves and a WHIP of 0.98. He could have become a free agent after this season.

“That was really, really, really good at that point because I wasn’t getting an opportunity to pitch back in Baltimore because I was through a bad stretch,” Strop said of the trade to the Cubs. “I wasn’t pitching the way I pitch; I was struggling a little bit. I wasn’t being given an opportunity to get back on track.

“So by the time they traded me over here, as soon as I got here, I Pedro Strop worked with (bullpen coach) Lester Strode and (pitching coach Chris) Bosio, and they put me in the right way, and I got the opportunity to get back on track here.”

Last year, Strop was 2-2 with a 2.85 ERA and a WHIP of 0.89 in 54 games as a setup man. He was on the disabled list from Aug. 11 to Sept. 23 after suffering a meniscus tear in his left knee.

He worked in eight postseason games, including three in the World Series.

Strop is one of the more popular players in the Cubs’ clubhouse.

“His pitching is big part of why we wanted to bring him back, but also who he is,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “I think he has a leadership role on this team. He’s been terrific in the clubhouse for us. He’s terrific in the bullpen. He’s the kind of guy you want to keep around.

“He puts every person around him in a better mood every day. He’s always beaming. He’s in a great mood.

But under that huge smile is an awesome competitor. This guy wants the ball in the biggest spots. We want more guys like that.”

Let the games begin: The Cactus League season begins for the Cubs with a pair of split-squad games Saturday.

One squad hosts the Oakland Athletics at Sloan Park. Another squad travels to Scottsdale to play the Giants.

Mike Montgomery pitches against the A’s in a game to be televised by

WGN. Rob Zastryzny goes against the Giants. Kyle Schwarber bats leadoff in that game. Jason Heyward will lead off against the A’s.

Celebrating in Mesa: The Cubs and the city of Mesa held a championship rally Friday at Sloan Park. Fans began lining up outside of the ballpark Thursday afternoon for a chance to have their photos taken with the World Series trophy.

Manager Joe Maddon was given a key to the city of Mesa.

“I was a resident here from 1981 until maybe 2001,” Maddon said, referring to his days in the Angels organization. “With the Cubs, I think of HoHoKam and Fitch Park (the team’s former spring facilities) … My kids have grown up here. They love it here.

They don’t want to leave. I’ve got my grandkids here now. I cut my teeth here. This is where I learned my trade.

“I have a real, real, strong connection to all of this, where it began and where it is right now. It’s quite a distance.”

• Saturday, February 25, 2017

MESA, Ariz. – Jason Heyward returned to his locker Friday morning and peeled off his batting gloves after an early morning hitting session.

That was even before the Cubs took to the field for their stretching routine and the regularly scheduled workout.

Heyward is looking to bounce back from a tough year at the plate, and because so much about hitting deals with “feel,” as much as mechanics, he said “It feels good,” when asked how his swing feels.

“I don’t have to think,” he continued, “just be able to make adjustments on the fly as you want to do every day, next pitch, whatever. You just want to find some consistency and some stability in it.”

Everybody knows the story.

Heyward signed an eight-year, $184 million contract with the Cubs in December 2015. The Cubs wanted the whole package: Heyward’s hitting, his Gold Glove defense and his leadership.

They got two out of three,

fect swing. You’re going to have to fight off pitches. When the pitcher makes their pitch, they make their pitch. It’s just about giving yourself an opportunity to hit and do some damage.”

If there’s one thing Heyward has going for him, it’s his work ethic.

“I enjoy working,” he said. “I enjoy practice. I love practice. If there’s anything I notice about myself, growing up different than some other people, it was just I love to practice more than anyone. That’s always been me.

People ask, ‘Oh, did you take a break or whatever?’ Yeah, I had a normal offseason as far as that goes. Just work hard, work smart, like anybody else.”

What impressed the Cubs was that Heyward never took his performance at the plate out into right field with him, as evidenced by a fourth Gold Glove. And of course, his speech during the rain delay in Cleveland during Game 7 of the World Series is now the stuff of legend.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon continues to say Heyward’s defense and professionalism brought value to the team last

SPORTS BRIEFS The Blackhawks plucked Michal Handzus off the San Jose Sharks’ scrap heap and turned him into a No. 2 center on a Stanley Cup-winning team in 2013. They took an unwanted Richard Panik from Toronto and turned him into a top-line standout.

Now, they’re taking a flier on Tomas Jurco, acquired from the Detroit Red Wings on Friday for a third-round pick in the June draft. Will he be the next Handzus or Panik? Or will he be the next David Rundblad or Jiri Sekac? There are 21 games left in the regular season to find out.

“There’s some similarities (with Panik),” Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said. “They have a similar skill set. Tomas comes to us with a good offensive imagination, a very creative player. He’s got good skills and good speed. It’s not just Richard Panik – we’ve seen it with other players before, and even players in our system. Sometimes they just don’t work out for whatever reason, and they need a different opportunity.”

Jurco is a 24-year-old winger with loads of potential and very little to show for it. He had no goals and no assists in 16

on the ice since returning from offseason back surgery in November. He’s been a scratch for 16 of the past 21 games. In 159 career NHL games, he has 15 goals and 24 assists.

After posting eight goals in 36 games as a rookie in 2014, he regressed, and was a poor fit in a system that wanted him to be more of a physical grinder and less of a gifted playmaker.

Jurco will be a restricted free agent after this season. His cap hit is a modest $900,000. The Hawks sent rookie Vinnie Hinostroza to Rockford of the AHL, so Jurco could get a crack on the fourth line with Ryan Hartman and Tanner Kero.

It’s a relatively minor, low-risk move, and it might be the only one Bowman makes before Wednesday’s trade deadline.

Bryan, who had his best PGA Tour performance last week at Riviera, shot a 67 and saved his round with a bogey on the 13th hole when he had to play one shot from the trees with his putter.

They were a shot ahead of Rickie Fowler (66), with Anirban Lahiri (68) another shot behind.

Finest Hand Picked Cars & Trucks in McHenry County

The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The good news for NASCAR is that all signs indicate Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a legitimate shot to win the Daytona 500.

A victory for NASCAR’s most popular driver, in his return to racing after a concussion sidelined him the second half of last season, would be a massive boost for the sagging series.

Earnhardt’s star power has been one of the bright spots of Speedweeks and his strength on the track has been obvious every time he’s behind the wheel of his Chevrolet.

Earnhardt was part of a Hendrick Motorsports qualifying sweep for Sunday’s season-opening race. Chase Elliott won the pole, and Earnhardt will line up next to him on the starting grid. Elliott added a win in a qualifying race, and Earnhardt led 53 of 60 laps in a second qualifying race before he was passed at the end.

So the Hendrick cars have speed, the drivers aren’t cowering from the Toyota teamwork that dominated last year’s race, and they are ready to go bumper-to-bumper with the Team Penske fleet.

It means Sunday could be a strong opening day for NASCAR, particularly if Earnhardt can pull off his third victory in “The Great American Race.”

He’s not ready to call himself a favorite, and thinks he’ll have his hands full with the Joe Gibbs Racing group and Penske drivers Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski.

“Watching the last several plate races, I think the Gibbs guys have the market cornered on the favorite,” he said. “The Penske guys are really strong. So I think it’s their race to lose.

The Hendrick cars are going to be up there trying to mix it up.”

NASCAR needs Sunday to go off without a hitch.

The series is under heavy scrutiny because of sliding attendance and TV ratings, plus the title sponsor deal with Monster Energy came in at a fraction of what NASCAR was looking for when it began shopping the naming rights almost two years ago.

NASCAR celebrated its deal with Monster in a Las Vegas announcement, and has hitched its wagon to the hope that Monster can attract a younger demographic and raise the excitement level at all the events. But there was little signage around the track during Speedweeks, and one of the few indications Monster is the new

Dale Earnhardt Jr. adjusts his helmet before getting in his car during a practice session Friday at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. sponsor were the scantily clad women around for some of the pomp and circumstance. There’s been no TV advertising and NASCAR was even the subject of a critical examination in the Wall Street Journal.

NASCAR has countered with a JGR announcement that defending race winner Denny Hamlin and FedEx have signed long-term extensions, while Team Penske locked in Logano and Shell-Pennzoil through 2023.

“People are talking about the health of the sport, and this is a watershed moment,” Roger Penske said of an extension that took nearly a year to complete with Shell.

Both FedEx and Shell-Pennzoil are major sponsors who spend something close to $20 million a year to brand the race cars and market to the NASCAR audience.

“This is a very positive story in our sport, to see the commitment of a very large company like Shell and Pennzoil are and for them to be able to sign up with this team really makes a statement for not only where Team Penske is, but for where NASCAR is as a sport,” Logano said.

Problem is, NASCAR doesn’t yet know exactly where it is.

NASCAR will launch a new advertising campaign Sunday called “Ready.

Set. Race.” and a crash-filled 30-second TV ad was revealed Feb. 18 to promote the 500.

In an effort to add excitement to the racing – something both the TV partners and Monster wanted – all events will be run in segments this year. It means the Daytona 500 won’t exactly be a 500-mile race of attrition, but will instead be cut into three parts. There are points on the line for each segment, giving drivers incentive to race hard for the entire race, and one final long push to the checkered flag.
