Cary mayoral candidates still split on Pedcor’s Garden Place Apartments

By HANNAH PROKOP

C

hprokop@shawmedia.com

ARY – Interest in Pedcor Investments’ Garden Place Apartments in Cary has been higher than expected, Pedcor Management Corp. area manager Brittany Hart said.

Although many stop by the apartments because they’re interested in living there, some stop by just because they’re curious. So far, eight of 60 units have been filled, and all six buildings are expected to be move-in ready by mid- to late March.

The affordable housing project at First and Pearl streets drew hundreds of opposed residents to numerous Village Board and zoning meetings, as well as split the opinions of trustees on the Village Board.

Jim Cosler, who was a leader of the Cary Matters political action committee and fought the Pedcor development before being elected to the Village Board, is challenging Cary Mayor Mark Kownick – who favored the project – in the April 4 election.

“People have really looked at me as the voice of the people through all this, and the procedures and process that were used in this are exactly the things I want to change when I get elected to mayor on April 4,” Cosler said.

Cosler and Trustee Kim Covelli have said the handling of the Pedcor project was part of their motivation to run as write-in trustee candidates in April 2015.

“The basics of it are the processes used were basically processes that pushed through an overly dense development that required multiple variances and conditional use and zoning changes,” Cosler said of his problem with the development.

The project first was brought before the Cary Committee of the Whole in April 2014, and later passed by a 4-2 vote in June 2014. An ordinance to stop the proposal in July 2014 failed in a 3-3 vote, which upheld the original decision.

Throughout the process, residents and some trustees voiced concerns about how the property would affect property values in the neighborhood and the safety of the area. Some also said Cary needed to focus on bringing more business to the village before low-income housing.

Much of the opposition to the project comes from misinformation, Kownick said.

“It’s not subsidized housing, it’s not Section 8 housing – it’s owned by a private corporation who are taxpayers, and they’re now essentially a business in town providing a service to our residents,” Kownick said.

Pedcor is part of the Illinois Housing and Development Authority’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.

The program administers federal tax credits, and to receive the credits, Pedcor has to primarily serve resiSarah Nader file photo – snader@shawmedia.com dents who make 60 percent of the area A women wears a “No Pedcor” sticker at a Cary Village Board meeting July 15, 2014.

City officials reject Old Courthouse study

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – City officials are contemplating the future of the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House on the Woodstock Square, but they aren’t sold on a proposal to study the feasibility of a co-working space.

The Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission met last week to consider a proposal from Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies that would look at the potential for the co-working space. The three-phase study would cost $29,000 in total, although the city has the option to complete only certain phases.

The first phase, which would cost $9,000, would clarify whether the idea for a co-working space is worth pursuing further.

In April, the city received a grant to hire consulting firm Artspace to complete a future-use study for the

properties. Artspace recommended the creation of a co-working space and also said the building could be used for microretail and art studio space in the courthouse.

The former McHenry County Courthouse and Sheriff’s House and Jail were built in the 1800s. Located on the Woodstock Square, the spaces were government buildings until the early 1970s.

The city of Woodstock took ownership of the buildings in 2011, and the city has spent more than $2 million stabilizing the deteriorating properties.

Costs to get the spaces completely up to code and usable could top $5 million.

The commission voted, 4-3, against the proposal, but the members of the Woodstock City Council still might consider the item. Some commission H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@shawmedia.com members cited financial concerns as the reason for denying a positive rec- The Old Courthouse on the Woodstock Square was designed by John Mills Van Osdel, chief architect of the Palmer House in Chicago, and erected in 1857.

Nunda Township race features 3-way contest for supervisor

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A three-way battle for supervisor is just one of the many contested races leading up to the Nunda Township Republican primary on Tuesday.

Nunda Township is hosting a primary to select Republican nominees for the April 4 election. Area residents will be voting on a supervisor, highway commissioner, assessor, clerk and four township board trustees. Under Illinois law, townships’ responsibilities include assessing property, maintaining township roads and providing assistance to constituents in need.

Running for supervisor are Kelvin Lee Jennings, Michael Walkup and Catherine Williams.

Jennings – the incumbent – said he’s running for a second term to save residents money.

“During the last four years, I’ve helped make the township fiscally responsible and helped bring the township

Catherine Williams

out of debt,” Jennings said.

Walkup said that if he’s elected, he’ll reduce the supervisor’s annual salary from about $75,000 to $21,000.

“The supervisor role is paid way too much for what it does,” Walkup said.

“Shrinking the supervisor is my campaign theme.

“Our government officials are hiding out in offices for virtually no work, so we need to rip the cover off of that, expose what’s going on and save the taxpayers some money,” Walkup added.

Also running for supervisor is Catherine Williams, who is treasurer of the Nunda Township Republican Party and president of the League of Women Voters of McHenry County.

“The reason I’m running boils down to three basic things,” Williams said. “I

think the voters deserve all the respect in the world and deserve a voice in planning the future of the township. I’m big on cooperation and listening to my constituents.

“And the third is I really believe there are still some budget cuts that can be made.”

In other races, incumbent Highway Commissioner Mike Lesperance is seeking his second term for the Nunda Township position. He will go up against challenger Eric Dowd, a member of the McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees.

Mark Dzemske is seeking his first full term as Nunda Township assessor, as he was appointed to fill the remaining term of former Assessor Dennis Jagla, who retired in May. Dzemske is facing candidate Justin Franzke in the primary.

Running for township trustee are incumbents Karen Tynis, Mike Shorten, Edward Dvorak and William Boltz along with challengers Tim Parrish, Robert Parrish and Debra Heath.

As for Nunda Township clerk, Joni Smith – a former township trustee – is running unopposed.

Grafton Township trustee, businessman facing off in supervisor primary election

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com The two candidates vying for Grafton Township supervisor both hope to keep the township moving forward from problems in its past.

Republican voters in Algonquin, Nunda and Grafton townships can vote early right up to the Feb. 28 primaries.

Grafton Township Trustee Joseph Holtorf is facing Eric Ruth – who is president of Woodstock-based Alliance Contractors Inc. – to serve a four-year term as supervisor.

The candidates are running to succeed incumbent Supervisor James Kearns, who is not seeking another term after winning election last month to the County Board.

An audit released in 2014 showed that former Grafton Township Su-

pervisor Linda Moore often exceeded her authority while in office and prevented her four rival trustees on the Grafton board from performing their elected duties by not paying board-approved bills and poorly maintaining the township’s accounts.

Holtorf said he was one of the trustees who worked to help put Grafton Township back in order.

“We fixed the problems, but we still have some projects that are still open and need to be completed,” Holtorf said.

Holtorf, 78, is retired and has 44 years of experience working with IBM as an engineer and in management.

He’s lived in McHenry County for 13 years.

“I’ve got the experience and the time, and understand the problems,” Holtorf said.

Although Ruth said he’s never held an elected position, his work at Alliance Contractors requires him to han-

dle employees, project management and other tasks, including managing finances and insurance.

Ruth is running for supervisor because he’s always wanted to be part of the community and give back, he said.

“It’s really important to me that the momentum that [Kearns] created continues,” Ruth said. “Township government as a whole is supposed to be simple.”

Ruth, 35, said he’s the fifth generation to have lived in Huntley. He served seven years on the United Way of Greater McHenry County board, and serves on the Centegra Health System Foundation Board of Directors.

“I think you have to have the passion – you have to be doing it for the right reason,” Ruth said of running for supervisor, adding that he has a passion for the community.

“The expenditure is going to be $29,000, and it’s only addressed on possible usage,” commission member Lynde Anderson said.

He added that if the city was going to spend that much money, he would prefer that the study cover more ground.

Other commissioners said that studying potential uses for the building shouldn’t be a top priority. The question of who will own and manage the building needs to be addressed, said commissioner Jim Prindiville,

The Artspace study recommended that the city retain ownership of the buildings but find an outside entity, such as a nonprofit organization, to manage operations.

He added that the work researchers would do in the first phase is unnecessary.

“Much of the information they are gathering early on in the study is readily known and available within the community,” he said. “I think the first thing we should do at this point is make an analysis of how ownership of the building is going to occur.”

CL Park District to replace Sterling Meadows playground NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Park District will replace the playground at Sterling Meadows Park and complete several other projects thanks to a $75,000 grant.

GameTime, its parent company PlayCore and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association announced that the park district is one of 18 Illinois districts that will get a Healthy Play Action Grant as part of a statewide initiative.

Continued from page A6 The number of Republican candidates for several township races prompted the need for primary races, and the primary winners will advance to the April 4 consolidated election.

Voters every four years elect their township representatives along with their choices for municipal, school, park, library and other boards.

Aside from the race for supervisor,

The grant funding gives us the opportunity to upgrade the equipment in some of our busiest parks while keeping the cost as low as possible for the taxpayer.”

In addition, the district will install three nature-based play pockets along the walking trail in Sterling Meadows and the adjacent Willow Edge Park.

Grafton Township has contested races for village clerk and highway commissioner.

Dina Frigo and Kathleen Watson are running for village clerk to succeed Kathryn Hurley, and incumbent Highway Commissioner Tom Poznanzki faces challengers Steven Stoltzman and Frank Kearns.

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

Pre-Planning

A Pre-Planned funeral allows you to plan ahead by making personal choices, in writing, knowing that your wishes will be carried out as you choose. We offer a variety of Pre-Planned options to suit your family, religious needs and budget.

This is a view of Wonder Lake, near the east-side “business” district, probably was taken in the late 1930s. Wonder Lake was formed after damming Nippersink Creek in the late 1920s The purpose was to create a vacation spot for Chicagoans who wanted to build vacation homes with lake access. Because of an engineering error, the lake is twice as long as originally planned. Following World War II, the demand for housing was so great that many of the cottages were “winterized” into full-time residences. In the 1960s and 1970s, development came upon Wonder Lake, and today almost all open space has been built on. Much of the area became incorporated as the Village of Wonder Lake in the 1970s.

Investors in the property then can get tax credits in return for project equity, which reduces the amount needed to finance the project and makes rent more affordable.

Federal law says that rents and incomes on the property have to remain restricted for 30 years, Kownick said.

“When you explain what it is and what it’s not, people have an entirely different view on it,” Kownick said, adding that the village has been transparent with the project throughout the process.

Kownick said state statute requires that 10 percent of the village’s housing stock is affordable, and the completion of the Garden Place Apartments will bring the village from 6.9 percent to 7.4 percent.

Pedcor is providing a needed service in the village, and the people who will move into the apartments – who are required to work and go through background checks – will add to the community, he said.

Although Cosler said he’s not deaf to the needs of people in the community, he feels the village should have looked at other ways to give assistance to those in need, rather than support an industry that makes a profit off

projects such as this one.

Hart said people made judgments about Pedcor in advance, and the organization is professionally managed and maintained.

“The buildings themselves, it’s clear to tell that maybe they’re not quite what people thought they were going to be,” Hart said.

Since the project’s completion, Kownick said he’s had “more good comments than bad” on the project, and that people are amazed at how nice the complex looks.

Cosler said he’s heard differently.

“Basically the consensus is it’s really out of character with the neighborhood,” Cosler said. “… We’ll see down the road where this project goes; that’s all we can do.”

On whether the development will affect the mayoral election, Kownick said he hopes people can look at the next opportunity for the village rather than focus on a decision made three years ago.

“I think it’s important for the community to be collaborative and move forward,” Kownick said. “This is something that now everybody should be embracing – that they’re going to be residents, ... they’re going to buy into our community, and that’s what I hope. You want people to come, and you want them to stay. You want them to be happy.”

Beer, Bacon & Bikes shows off downtown businesses

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Dave Johnson of Ingleside came to McHenry on Saturday afternoon looking for a beer he’s never tried before. During his journey, he stopped at Buddyz Pizza in the downtown area.

“I did find one,” Johnson said.

“It’s called OMG, or named Old Man Grumpy [from Goose Island], and it was delicious.”

Johnson visited McHenry for the city’s inaugural Beer, Bacon & Bikes event hosted by the McHenry Area Downtown Business Association. Despite below-freezing temperatures, more than 100 people attended the event to try craft beer samples from local breweries, taste bacon-flavored treats and participate in bike demonstrations offered by The Bike Haven.

“I didn’t even know a lot of these places existed,” Johnson said. “But the way this event is set up is really nice. I can go to one place, sample a beer, go to another, and it’s just really nice walking around from one place to the next and seeing all these shops.”

Tickets were $30 if bought online

Some of the food offered during the event included pancakes and bacon mini cupcakes from Kiera Confections, beer nuggets from Worldwide Traveler and bacon mac ’n cheese from Buddyz Pizza. Several beers available to try throughout the event were from Crystal Lake Brewing and Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co.

“The work the downtown business association has done to create events like this and unite the community is great,” said Naté Grindeland, who owns Mixin Mingle in downtown McHenry.

Johnsburg resident John Wysocki said he came out with his son and wife to enjoy the beer and food. One of his first stops included Kiera Confections, where the group sampled locally made beer and cupcakes.

“It’s been really fun so far,” Wysocki said. “The chocolate cupcake I had was excellent.”

Loewe said she hopes the event was well-received so it can take place annually.

Infant who survived in 1920s incubator dies at 96 The ASSOCIATED PRESS MINEOLA, N.Y. – Lucille Conlin Horn weighed barely 2 pounds when she was born, a perilous size for any infant, especially in 1920.

Doctors told her parents to hold off on a funeral for her twin sister who had died at birth, expecting she too would soon be gone.

But her life spanned nearly a century after her parents put their faith in a sideshow doctor at Coney Island who put babies on display in incubators to fund his research to keep them alive.

The Brooklyn-born woman, who later moved to Long Island, died Feb. 11 at age 96, according to the Hungerford & Clark Funeral Home. She had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

ed in the early 20th century by Dr. Martin Couney. He was a pioneer in the use of incubators who sought acceptance for the technology by showing it off on carnival midways, fairs and other public venues. He never accepted money from the tiny babies’ parents but instead charged oglers admission to see the babies struggling for life.

Horn and her twin were born prematurely. She said in 2015 that when her sister died, doctors told her father to hold off on a funeral because she wouldn’t survive the day.

“He said, ‘Well, that’s impossible. She’s alive now. We have to do something for her,’” Horn said.

“My father wrapped me in a towel and took me in a cab to the incubator. I went to Dr. Couney. I stayed with him quite a few days, almost five months.”

STATE Pre-existing conditions complicate health care law

By CARLA K. JOHNSON and RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

CHICAGO – As Republicans try to unite around a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, one of the most popular parts of the law will be among the most difficult to replace: the guarantee of health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

The challenge of providing insurance for Americans who have no other alternative has some congressional Republicans considering whether to ask the states to reboot high-risk pools, an option with a rocky history. In the past, the pools served as insurers of last resort for people in poor health who could not get an individual policy from a commercial insurer.

“It’s definitely a hand-off to the states,” said economist Douglas HoltzEakin, who has reviewed the GOP plans and a recent briefing document for members of Congress. “It’s a commitment for money. It doesn’t say how much.”

The health care law requires insurance companies to cover people with serious medical problems at the same premium prices as everyone else. President Donald Trump has said he wants to “keep pre-existing conditions,” but he has not said how.

As they returned home during the recent congressional recess, some lawmakers received an earful from people concerned about possible GOP health care changes.

“I’m really angry about it,” said Vicki Tosher, a 64-year-old breast cancer patient in Englewood, Colorado, who

Illinois lawmaker aims to lift noise suppressors ban

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois lawmaker is looking to legalize the possession of noise suppressors in Illinois in order to reduce the risk of hearing damage from shooting a gun.

The bill proposed by Democratic Sen. William Haine of Alton is among dozens of firearm-related bills that have been introduced by Illinois lawmakers this year, The State Journal-Register reported.

Haine said noise from firearms is a public health concern for hunters and those who

Like countless other Americans, Tosher likes the subsidized health plan that she buys through the Affordable Care Act and is concerned with Republicans’ efforts to scuttle the coverage.

likes the subsidized health plan she buys through the Affordable Care Act for $345 a month.

Whatever happens, the effects could be broadly felt. The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 27 percent of adults under age 65 have health conditions that would likely leave them uninsurable under practices that existed before the health care overhaul.

Some Republicans said they will preserve protection for pre-existing conditions, but with a catch. People would have to maintain continuous coverage before earning the protection – for 18 months in the plan offered by former Rep. Tom Price, Trump’s health secretary.

Those who go without coverage or who never had insurance could buy a policy through a state-run high-risk pool.

High-risk pools have been tried be-

fore, with mixed results. It worked like this: Sick people with problems ranging from arthritis to congestive heart failure were placed in a separate insurance pool, with government and insurance companies helping to cover costs. They were also charged higher rates, up to double the amount paid by consumers with no serious ailments.

In the more than 30 states that had high-risk pools, net losses piled up to more than $1.2 billion in 2011, the height of the pools before the Affordable Care Act took full effect.

The programs covered about 225,000 Americans back then. Most pools had lifetime and annual limits on coverage.

Some imposed waiting periods of up to a year for coverage of a pre-existing condition. Some states offered income-based assistance. Most did not.

shoot for sport.

“It’s the nature of a public health concern, for hunters and sportsmen. It saves them from significant hearing loss for people who use firearms for sports,” he said. “It’s not a silencer, it’s a suppressor. There still would be noise, but it’s reduced, so it wouldn’t damage the user’s hearing nearly as much.”

Theft at auto dealership leads to police chase

TINLEY PARK – Authorities said thieves broke into a Tinley Park car dealership, stole five vehicles and fled to Interstate 57.

The theft, which led to a police chase, occurred after 11 p.m. Friday at Bettenhausen Automotive in Tinley Park.

Authorities recovered one of the vehicles immediately. Other drivers were last seen on Interstate 57.

Before the health law, Tosher was insured in a high-risk pool and paid twice as much for coverage.

“It’s unfair. It’s kind of like living in a ghetto,” she said. Returning to a system in which insurers could charge any amount to people with pre-existing conditions “is a major concern for me.”

Tosher, a self-employed editor, told her story during a rally outside Republican Sen. Cory Gardner’s office a few weeks ago. She’s among the many constituents who have called, protested or written to their lawmakers in support of the Obama-era health care law.

Until the health care overhaul, most states allowed insurers to quiz applicants for regular individual policies with lengthy questionnaires, including details about the health of each family member. Insurers could review medical and pharmacy records. A prescription for insulin for diabetes or an immunosuppressant for arthritis could mean a denial of coverage.

Insurers automatically denied individual coverage for people with cancer, cerebral palsy, congestive heart failure and many other conditions. Or they excluded certain conditions and even family members in the coverage they offered.

In every state that ran a high-risk pool in 2011, medical expenses outpaced premiums, and losses averaged $5,500 per enrollee. States used fees and taxes to make up the difference.

“High-risk pools have been government’s attempt to get at the issue of access to health insurance,” said Al Redmer Jr., Maryland’s insurance commissioner and a leader in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

The vehicles include a 2013 Dodge Charger and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Dealership owners are working with authorities and reviewing surveillance video of the lot.

Midwest delivery company closes doors after 70 years

MADISON, Wis. – A Minnesota-based delivery company that at one time had 11 warehouse locations in six states has closed its doors nearly 70 years after it was founded in Madison.

The Wisconsin State Journal reported that that Dunham Express ceased operations on Feb. 10. An order establishing a receivership filed in Minneapolis on Jan. 18 had revealed the company owed nearly $8 million to lenders and creditors it was unable to pay.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS High court weighs Facebook ban for sex offenders

RALEIGH, N.C. – Fresh from a trip to traffic court, Lester Packingham Jr. celebrated his turn of good fortune by announcing to friends on Facebook that his pending ticket was dismissed without him saying a word.

“No fine. No Court costs. No nothing. Praise be to God. Wow. Thanks, Jesus,” Packingham wrote in a 2010 post that led to a lawsuit being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday.

Packingham, 36, was forbidden by a 2008 North Carolina law from using commercial social networking sites such as Facebook that children could join. That’s because he’s a registered sex offender who was convicted of indecent liberties with a minor when he was 21. He served 10 months in prison.

Now the Supreme Court’s task is deciding whether the law, meant to prevent communications between sex offenders and minors via social media, is so broad that it violates the Constitution’s freespeech protections.

Dems invite immigrants to Trump’s speech to Congress

By KEVIN FREKING

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Democrats have invited immigrants and foreigners to President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress in an effort to put a face on those who could be hurt by the Republican’s policies.

Lawmakers typically get one guest ticket apiece for presidential addresses, as they will for Tuesday’s primetime speech, and the invites often go to family, friends or someone from back home.

To send a message to Trump, Democrats have invited the Iraqi-American doctor who discovered elevated levels of lead in the blood of many children living in Flint, Michigan; a Pakistani-born doctor who delivers critical care to patients in Rhode Island; and an American-born daughter of Palestinian refugees who aids people like her family in their quest to come to the U.S. “I want Trump to see the face of a woman, the face of a Muslim, and the face of someone whose family has enriched and contributed to this country despite starting out as refugees,” said Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill., whose guest Tuesday will be Fidaa Rashid, a Chicago immigration attorney.

Soon after taking office, Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning all entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority nations and pausing the entire U.S. refugee program. The order sparked worldwide confusion about who was covered by the edict, with thousands gathering at airports and in other settings to protest. An appeals court blocked the order.

Trump has said he will issue another order along similar lines. Trump has also expanded the range of immigrants living in the country illegally who have become a priority for removal.

The president has argued that the steps are necessary to

One of the people caught up in Trump’s executive order was Sara Yarjani, a 35-yearold Iranian graduate student studying in California. She was held at Los Angeles International Airport for nearly 23 hours before being sent back to Vienna, Austria, where she had been visiting family. She was able to resume her studies at the California Institute for Human Sciences after a judge halted implementation of Trump’s order. She’ll attend Trump’s speech as a guest of Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif.

“Mr. Trump needs to see the people he has hurt,” Chu said.

The focus on welcoming immigrants will also extend to the response that Democratic leaders plan for Trump’s speech. Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a young child, will provide the Spanish-language rebuttal; former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will give the standard opposition-party response. Under President Barack Obama, hundreds of thousands of unauthorized youth brought into the country as children were given a reprieve from deportation.

While Trump vowed to immediately end the Deferred

Action for Childhood Arrivals program during the campaign, he has kept it in place as president.

All will be on high alert for any Joe Wilson moments in Trump’s first speech to a joint session of Congress since his inaugural address.

Wilson, a longtime Republican congressman from South Carolina, shouted, “You lie!” as Obama addressed Congress in 2009 about his health care plan. The debate over “Obamacare” sparked strong emotions on both sides of the aisle, much as Trump’s executive order and statements on immigration have done.

Trump’s comments on immigration play well with his supporters, but unnerve some Republicans who represent congressional districts with quickly growing immigrant populations.

Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., invited a constituent he describes as a hero for helping to expose the Flint water crisis.

He said Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha came to the U.S. with her Iraqi parents, who were fleeing the regime of Saddam Hussein. She has recently questioned whether her family would have been allowed into the country under the policies of the Trump administration.

ATLANTA – Democrats chose former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as their new national chairman Saturday over a liberal Minnesota congressman, capping a divisive campaign that reflected the depths of the party’s electoral failures as well as the energy from resistance to President Donald Trump.

Perez, the first Latino to hold the post, edged Rep. Keith Ellison in the second round of voting by Democratic National Committee members gathered in Atlanta. The new chairman must rebuild a party that in the last decade has lost about 1,000 elected posts from the White House to Congress to the 50 statehouses, a power deficit Democrats have not seen nationally in 90 years.

In a nod to his winning margin of 35 votes out of 435 cast, to say nothing of the lingering friction between old-guard Democrats and outspoken upstarts, Perez tapped Ellison to serve as deputy chairman.

“We are all in this together,” Perez said, calling on Democrats to fight “the worst president in the history of the United States.”

Ellison, who had backing from many liberals, including 2016 presidential can-

ty suffered crushing defeats, losing the House majority in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Perez told party activists earlier in the day that Democrats face a “crisis of confidence” and “a crisis of relevance.”

The new chairman first entered the race upon urging from Obama and his inner circle. The former president released a statement praising both men after the vote.

“I know that Tom Perez will unite us under that banner of opportunity,” Obama said, “and lay the groundwork for a new generation of Democratic leadership for this big, bold, inclusive, dynamic America we love so much.”

The son of Dominican immigrants, Perez comes to the job with a demonstrably liberal record as a civil rights attorney and backer of organized labor, but he carried the establishment label as a Maryland resident who’s spent years in the Washington orbit, working in the Justice Department and ultimately as an Obama Cabinet officer.

Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed him; one of Obama’s closest aides, Valerie Jarrett, made calls to DNC members on Perez’s behalf as late as Friday night.

Perez will not be the undisputed “leader of the party,” even with Democrats out of power.

President Bashar Assad’s government, and Turkey has been a supporter of key rebel groups. They also come after Syria’s Russia- and Iran-backed troops regained control of the key northern city of Aleppo in December.

Al-Ja’afari stopped short of suspending the government’s participation outright, but said a condemnation of the attacks was a “test” for the fragmented opposition. He said his side would return to meet with the U.N. envoy again on Tuesday, and said its only condition for face-to-face talks with a “unified, pa-

triotic opposition.”

An al-Qaida-linked group, known now as the Levant Liberation Committee, claimed responsibility for the twin attacks against government security offices in Homs, killing at least 32, including a senior officer of the feared Military Intelligence Services.

Al-Ja’afari described the attack as a bid by states sponsoring terrorism to derail the talks. He singled out Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the two main backers of an array of opposition groups, as states lending support to terrorist groups.

SM-CL0381737

Syria’s top opposition delegates said they condemned terrorism but not specifically the Homs attack, all but suggesting it may have been carried out by Assad’s own supporters.

Nasr al-Hariri, head of the main opposition negotiating team, condemned terrorism by the so-called Islamic State group and al-Qaida’s affiliates, but said the Damascus government was the primary “sponsor of terrorism.”

“If the Homs attack specifically was a terrorist attack carried by any of these terrorist groups, it is clear what I say,” he said.

Col. Faleh Hassoun, another member of the delegation, alleged that only people with security clearances could access the government’s security office in Homs. He suggested it was aimed to rid the government’s ranks of possible war criminals.

“What really happened today, we can call it liquidation by the regime of those who are wanted for international courts,” he told reporters at a Geneva hotel.

Hassoun also alleged that military intelligence services chief Maj. Gen Hassan Daeboul, who was killed in Saturday’s attack, had been implicated in the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut in 2005. Syria’s government is widely believed to have played a role in the killing.

GENEVA – A deadly terrorist attack in central Syria on Saturday threatened to thwart efforts to wrest a political solution at peace talks in Geneva, with the U.N. mediator decrying “spoilers” who try to derail the efforts to end the country’s disastrous six-year war.

The government’s envoy demanded a firm condemnation from all opposition groups of the synchronized attacks by insurgents on security offices in Homs that left dozens dead, while the opposition retorted that it has long denounced terrorism – even suggesting it may have been an inside job.

“Any party that refuses to condemn these attacks today, we will consider that party to be an accomplice of terrorism,” Syria’s U.N. ambassador, Bashar al-Ja’afari, told reporters after meeting U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura in the third day of renewed peace talks – with the sides meeting separately with him so far.

The talks are the first under U.N. mediation in nearly 10 months and build upon a fragile, repeatedly violated ceasefire that was wrested by Russia and Turkey. Moscow has been a powerful military and political backer of Syrian

OUR VIEW

Widening of Route 47 vital While we understand there are concerns with a $78 million plan to widen Route 47 through Woodstock, this project needs to happen, and it should have happened a long time ago.

The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to widen about 5 miles along Route 47 between Charles Road and Route 14 to allow for two lanes of traffic in each direction, separated by a raised curb median. IDOT is proposing five roundabouts at intersections along Route 47. There also are plans for sidewalk and bicycle path improvements, as the road is not pedestrian-friendly now.

Anyone who traverses this part of McHenry County with any regularity knows the traffic tieups along Route 47 between Route 14 and Route 120 can be horrific at certain times a day, whether it’s traffic simply trying to get around Woodstock or heading north toward Lake Geneva in the summer.

Traffic issues there are far more substantial, for example, than on the recently completed widening of Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock. We’re not certain the criteria that IDOT uses to prioritize projects, but we know what we see through our windshields every day.

We also know the longstanding and expensive obstacle to widening Route 47 through the heart of Woodstock is at the site of the Union Pacific Railroad bridge near the heart of town and just north of Lake Street. That bridge will need to be redone to accommodate four lanes.

Of course businesses along Route 47, which represent the bulk of Woodstock businesses, are concerned about how an estimated two-year construction project will affect their business, which it certainly will. Some of those businesses already are affected by people who avoid the congested stretch of road. There also are concerns from residential homeowners north of Route 120.

We understand the frustration, but the biggest one is it’s likely another 10 years before a shovel even goes into the ground on this project. The only good thing about that delay is it leaves plenty of time for Woodstock officials, business owners and residents to address concerns.

They won’t have to look far for suggestions.

Just ask Huntley officials a few miles south how they handled the Route 47 widening project there, and while you’re driving through take a look at the business expansion, grocery, restaurant and retail development that’s taken place, offering more options for Huntley residents.

The Route 47 widening project needs to be done right, but it absolutely needs to be done sooner rather than later.

ANOTHER VIEW

How Europe can defend itself Say this for Donald Trump: He is forcing Europeans to think more seriously about how to protect and defend their continent.

The U.S. president’s disparagement of NATO goes too far, and his focus on getting Europeans to spend more on defense is misplaced. That said, European nations for too long have treated their defense budgets as an extension of social policy. Expenditure on personnel is more than 50 percent of military spending in nearly all EU countries, compared with about a quarter in the U.S. Meanwhile, spending on equipment and R&D is barely 20 percent in Europe, compared with about 30 percent in the U.S., and only about 22 percent of equipment procurement is collaborative.

The European Commission has a proposal to make European defense spending more rational.

But such top-down efforts gener-

ally haven’t amounted to much.

There actually are hundreds of cooperative military projects in Europe, such as the European Air Transport Command in the Netherlands. Many of these efforts are bilateral and ad hoc. Without a more coherent framework, they won’t close the large gap in military spending and capabilities between Europe and the U.S., or make European militaries more effective.

NATO works, despite strains, for two main reasons: a clear mission – the collective security guarantee enshrined in its charter – and American leadership.

Any EU plan for collective defense would require similar purpose and direction. Yet France, the largest military force in Europe after the U.K. leaves the EU, always has seen an EU defense policy as a counterweight to American-dominated NATO rather than a goal in itself.

Things may be changing.

Between Brexit and Trumpism, European nations finally may be getting realistic about the urgency of preparing for threats from both within and outside the continent. NATO’s intervention in Libya showed European nations are willing and capable of leading such missions.

None of this is to say the EU needs its own army. It is only to point out Europe needs to do more to ensure its collective security, and part of the answer lies in a more flexible (and less America-dominated) NATO. As Europeans consider any changes, their focus should be less on whether NATO members meet the alliance’s requirement for overall defense spending and more on how and where they spend their money. The better Europe is able to defend itself, the better off it – and the U.S. – will be.

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.

VIEWS Albert R. Hunt member Watergate? Others lubricate the levers of government. Presidents, including Trump, are as likely to be perpetrators of leaks as victims.

Few leaks violate the law, potential exceptions being those exposing legitimate national security secrets or personal tax returns.

Here’s some news for Nunes: When the president insults foreign leaders in private chats, the word will spread. There’s little doubt some of the current leaks are coming from rival factions within the Trump administration.

Some leaks have been harmful.

During World War II, for example, the Chicago Tribune clearly indicated after the Battle of Midway the U.S. had broken the Japanese naval code.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who hated the paper, pressured officials to empanel a federal grand jury, but it decided not to indict.

One of the most insightful recent articles on leaks was by Malcolm Gladwell in the Dec. 19 issue of the New Yorker.

While comparing two famous leakers, Daniel Ellsberg of the Pen-

tagon Papers in 1971, and Edward Snowden on government surveillance after the terror attacks of Sept.

11, 2001, Gladwell explained why leaks are central to the governing process: “The relationship between the government and the press – between the source of leaks and the beneficiary of leaks – is symbiotic. Governments may make a fuss about how much leaks are harming them. But they need leaks as much as the press does. The legitimacy of government requires sunshine and the practice of governance sometimes requires darkness – and in the face of that contradiction, leaks are a kind of informal workaround.”

Gladwell writes of Ellsberg as a noble leaker who selectively exposed government secrets out of his devotion to public service and sense of patriotic duty.

He gave newspapers 43 volumes of a Vietnam War study that he had helped prepare, and which revealed a history of deceit by three presidents. He first sought to get White House officials and senators to make the study public; when that was unsuccessful, he leaked it to the New York Times after deleting the final four volumes dealing with existing diplomatic efforts to negotiate peace.

The administration of President Richard Nixon sought to suppress

the story, but the Supreme Court overruled him.

By contrast, Gladwell wrote, Snowden, a former mid-level national security employee, was a “hacker” incensed by pervasive government surveillance, conducted without judicial approval (and later ruled to be illegal by one court and upheld by another). But unlike Ellsberg, Snowden released the information he pilfered indiscriminately, and has been camped out in Russia since 2013.

It’s possible to criticize Snowden and still see the value of some of his actions. The subject of leaks is rife with inconsistencies. It was Obama’s administration, not Reagan’s or Bush’s or Nixon’s, that brought the most cases against leakers, though it moderated its pace in its final years.

The relationship between government and the press is both adversarial and symbiotic. When Trump encouraged the Russian-orchestrated leaks last fall of hacked private emails from Democrats, Nunes, the Intelligence Committee chairman, raised no objections.

Today, with a president who disdains transparency, has an authoritarian streak and is insensitive to the limits of power, leaks are vital.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Vote Republican in McHenry Township

To the Editor: When people see a candidate for public office is an Independent, they often think of that person as being an outsider.

What is happening in McHenry Township right now is really interesting and historic. The seven Republican officeholders in McHenry Township, most of whom were not elected to their positions but are running for re-election, have quit their Republican Party and are running as Independents, possibly to confuse people into not knowing they are the incumbents who messed things up.

The Republicans on the ballot are the outsiders. Not one of them has ever held a township office before. The incumbents who got us into this mess are running as Independents.

Don’t vote for the Independents thinking they are new. The new, outsiders are the Republicans. Just vote Republican,

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is outraged over Washington leaks. Just like the cop in “Casablanca” who was “shocked, shocked” to discover gambling in a gambling den.

The California Republican is demanding an investigation of leaks about President Donald Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders and more leaks about Trump’s cashiered national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Nunes charged, on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” that the unauthorized disclosures broke the law, and he blamed holdovers from President Barack Obama’s administration who are supposedly “burrowed in, perhaps all throughout government.”

Nunes, Trump and others who fulminate about leaks should listen to Leon Panetta, a former White House chief of staff, director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Secretary.

“Leaks are a problem that every president has complained about,” Panetta said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

He could have added presidents usually find they can do little about them. Trump and Nunes have as much chance of curbing leaks in Washington as I have of beating LeBron James at a game of one-on-one.

BUSINESS New leader takes over at Crystal Lake-based Aptar

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The 1967 movie “The Graduate” inspired young men to think about many things, but it made Stephan Tanda think about plastic.

Tanda recently took over as president and CEO at Crystal Lakebased Aptar, a global product packaging maker.

“Early in my education, I was influStephan enced by the film ‘The Tanda Graduate’ where Dustin Hoffman receives one line of career advice, ‘Plastics.

There’s a great future in plastics,’ so I went on to study plastics engineering and also developed a great interest in business, particularly international business,” Tanda said.

Tanda took over as CEO Feb. 1.

Former Aptar president and CEO Steve Hagge plans to retire in March after 35 years with the company.

Tanda, from Innsbruck, Austria, got his MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Before joining Aptar, he was executive managing board director at Royal DSM NV. There, he oversaw the company’s $5.5 billion global nutrition business and its pharma joint ventures and business interests in the Americas. His 25-year career has included roles at DuPont, Freudenberg Nonwovens Group and DSM, according to a news release from Steve Aptar.

Hagge Although he’s retiring as president and CEO, Hagge will remain on Aptar’s Board of directors.

“It was not an easy decision to retire from such a great company like Aptar,” Hagge said in a statement. “I recently turned 65 and I have good health, so I’m happy to be moving on to the next phase of my life where I can spend more time with my family.

It’s been a tremendously exciting and

President and CEO of Aptar rewarding career and I am very fortunate to have been a part of the stellar long-term performance of Aptar.”

He plans to spend time with his wife, Sharon, in retirement. They have been married for more than 40 years.

Aptar has 13,000 employees in 18

countries. The company is one of McHenry County’s largest employers.

Hagge said he’s confident in Tanda’s leadership.

“Stephan’s background in plastics engineering, his passion for sales, marketing and business development, and his prior experience working in many of the same markets, with many of the same customers, will greatly benefit the company,” Hagge said.

In his spare time, Tanda enjoys flying glider planes.

Tanda and his wife, Sabina, who also is from Innsbruck, Austria, recently relocated to this area to be near the company’s headquarters in Crystal Lake.

“My wife and I were excited for the opportunity to return to the U.S.,” he said. “We really enjoy living in the countryside, versus the big city, so the northwest suburbs suit us very well. We are very appreciative of the gracious and warm welcome we’ve received from my colleagues at Aptar and our new friends in the community.”

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey all the debts you owe, from smallest to largest, making one column for the payoff balance, one column for the amount you need to get current on that debt, and one column for the single payment amount when you get current. Total each column – the payoff balance, the amount to get current, and the single payment. I promise it won’t be as bad as you think.

Finally, make a monthly budget.

Prioritize your needs, starting with food, utilities, house payments and transportation. When it comes to your debts, pay as much as you can on the smallest one while making minimum payments on all the others.

You can do this, Gail. If you’ll follow my plan, I think you’ll see improvement in several areas of your life and you’ll feel good about the progress you’re making, too!

Dear Dave: My mom is 73 years old, and she’s dealing with depression and a few other mental issues. Is it too late for her to get long-term care insurance? – Julie Dear Julie: It wouldn’t be a big problem if she were healthy. But given her age, and the other struggles you mentioned, I’d check with a good insurance broker to see what’s out there for her.

In the insurance world they call this “making a market.” Will they be able to find a company that will write her in that situation? I can’t give you an accurate answer off the top of my head, because this is a difficult thing. It would probably depend on things like the extent of her depression, how long it’s been manifested, and what it has

done in her life.

That’s one of the reasons I’m advising you to see an insurance broker. A broker doesn’t represent just one company; they represent several companies. They can shop around in a given situation, and find someone to write something you might not get written otherwise. They can also shop around for the best possible price, and you get the efficiencies of the marketplace working for you.

God bless you both, Julie.

Ray Chevrolet tops GM’s Business Elite list SHAW MEDIA FOX LAKE – General Motors has named Ray Chevrolet its No. 1 Business Elite dealer in the nation for 2016, according to a news release from the dealership.

It is the fifth year in a row that Ray Chevrolet has been named the No. 1 Fleet and Commercial Dealer in the

North Central Region, the news release stated. A sales increase of 18 percent over the previous year helped it achieve the national honor.

To qualify as a Business Elite partner, dealerships must create a dedicated Business Elite sales force, receive specialized GM commercial vehicle training, invest in specialized facilities and

equipment to service the vehicles, and sell a minimum number of vehicles per year, the news release stated.

“It’s an accomplishment just to qualify as a Business Elite dealer,” Ray Chevrolet owner Ray Scarpelli said in the news release. “To be ranked No. 1 in the country is a testament to the quality of the people who work here.”

McCann Industries Inc. is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The company originally was founded as McCann Construction Specialties Company in 1967 by Richard McCann to sell contractor supplies. Today, Jim McCann is president and CEO of the company his father started from a garage in Villa Park.

The company now has seven locations throughout Illinois and Indiana, including in McHenry and Wauconda, and has expanded its contractor supplies business to include heavy equipment.

“I’m humbled by the success our business has realized through the years. I understand it’s only been possible because we employ people that thrive in a culture that’s focused on

exceeding our customer’s expectations every day,” McCann said in a news release.

Dear Dave: After listening to your show, I want to try to get control of my finances, but I’m afraid to open up the bills. I make about $60,000 a year, but it’s a real struggle just to keep my head above water financially. My checking account is always overdrawn, and I don’t know where to start in catching up. Can you help? – Gail Dear Gail: Trust me, I know it can be scary. But the easiest way to attack this thing is by taking one slow, sure step at a time. Try not to let worry consume you in the process, either.

First, sit down, take a deep breath, and open all the unopened bills. Throw away any duplicates, and keep only the most recent statements and notices.

The unknown is always scarier than the known, so facing the bills and cutting that stack in half right off the bat will help reduce a lot of your initial anxiety.

Next, let’s start a debt snowball. List

Aging mom has health issues but wants to stay in her home Dear Abby: My father died four years ago, leaving my 69-year-old mother alone. My mother has health and mobility issues. Her house is large and has two stories, and it far exceeds her needs.

The problem is that she’s extremely sentimental about it.

I worry about her being alone because my sister and I live two hours away in opposite directions, and Mother is either unwilling or unable to address the issue of moving closer to me or my sister. Money is not an issue.

I talked with my sister, and we agree that Mom should move closer to whomever she wants.

Because of her age, I feel guilty that one of us isn’t close by to be there for her. Abby, how does one lovingly and gently nudge a parent to move closer for her own well-being? – Worried in

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Indiana Dear Worried: You are good and

caring siblings, but you cannot live your mother’s life for her. There may be more to her reluctance to leave her home than sentimentality.

If she has lived there for decades, she wouldn’t just be giving up her house, but also her friends and acquaintances, the places she shops, etc. Aside from you or your sister, she would be like a stranger in a strange land.

Because money is not an issue, a caregiver could be hired to provide assistance and companionship for your mother if her health and mobility

reach the point that she can no longer live alone. And if her needs become progressively greater, you or your sister should research assisted-living facilities near you and talk to her about moving into one.

Dear Abby: I thought I was a pretty good parent, but I am stumped when it comes to my 13-year-old daughter.

The latest point of contention is that she has gotten into the habit of telling her father and me to “shut up.”

She does it when we are playing with each other.

In spite of the fact that I have corrected her and told her it is disrespectful and unacceptable, she insists there is nothing wrong with it. She says that it’s just a hang-up that I have and other parents wouldn’t care.

I don’t care if other parents would allow it or not. She has earned consequences for it, and yet turns right

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

around and implies that my scolding her basically earned my being told to shut up. I can’t believe her lack of logic when arguing her point. She’s really baffled as to why it is an inappropriate thing to say, and I’m baffled at her obstinance. – Baffled in Texas Dear Baffled: Explain to your daughter that there are some things teens can say to each other that are inappropriate when said to their parents. (“Shut up!” can be used to express amazement or surprise at hearing something without being meant as disrespectful.)

That said, if this expression your daughter uses offends you, she should have enough respect for you that she refrains from using it at home.

Austin Ernd (138 pounds), Lenny Petersen (145) and Liam O’Donnell (182) won for Central, with Brock Montford (113), Michael Locascio (120) and Brayan Palomino (126) accepting forfeits.

“We all wrestled tough,” Petersen said. “There was a couple times – I should have gotten a pin or tech, Eddie (Diaz) gave up a close match – there’s a couple points here or there that could have swung the match, but it is what it is. We wrestled tough.”

It was Central’s third consecutive trip to state after taking fourth the past two years.

The Associated Press

CYPRESS, Texas – A 17-year-old transgender boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning a controversial Texas state girls wrestling title in an event clouded by criticism from those who believe the testosterone he’s taking as he transitions from female to male created an unfair advantage.

The family of Mack Beggs has said he would rather be wrestling boys, but state policy calls for students to wrestle against the gender listed on their birth certificates. So the junior from Euless Trinity beat Chelsea Sanchez, 12-2, in the 110-pound weight class to improve to 57-0 and earn the championship.

Beggs fell to his knees for a moment after the win as a mixture of cheers and boos rained down on him. He then hugged his coach and left the mat.

He had a bit of fun with his fellow wrestlers at the medal ceremony when he counted down from three and all six of the top finishers posed by doing a dab on the medal stand.

Beggs, who reached the state tournament after two opponents forfeited, was dogged throughout the tournament by questions about whether his testosterone treatments made him too strong to wrestle fairly against girls.

He pinned Kailyn Clay earlier Saturday to reach the final. That was after he beat Taylor Latham and Mya Engert handily Friday to reach the semifinals.

In the semifinals, the match was halted for a couple of minutes because Beggs had a bloody nose. Trainers finally managed to stop the bleeding and the fight resumed. Not long after,

Beggs slammed Clay on the mat and pinned her.

He and Clay shared a long hug before an official raised Beggs’ arm to signal victory, and the wrestler scurried off the mat. Clay’s coached shouted to reporters that she “did not have permission” to talk to them after her loss, and both of her parents declined to comment.

His participation comes at a crucial moment, with the public and politicians debating the growing belief that gender is fluid. Just this week, the Trump administration announced an end to federal protections that allowed transgender students to use facilities based on their gender identity, leaving states and school districts to determine their own policies.

and-forth battle throughout, Miller took Diaz down with 30 seconds left, going ahead, 13-12. Diaz came close to escaping in the final seconds but couldn’t quite get out, and Washington went back on top, 7-6, in the team score.

“At the beginning, I thought I was overmatched, but I kept thinking to myself, ‘It’s my last match, got to give it all I’ve got,’ ” said Diaz, a senior.

“Once I got that first takedown, it was like, ‘I can take him down. I can win this match.’ It came down to that last second and couldn’t quite get it.”

The only win for Central over the next seven bouts was a 14-5 major decision by Liam O’Donnell at 182. Otherwise, the Panthers racked up the team

points – with four pins, a technical fall and a decision – to open a 39-10 lead and put away the win.

“I felt pretty good,” Liam O’Donnell said. “I wanted them to know we’re Crystal Lake Central, we deserved to be No. 2 and I feel like in the end we did show them.”

After his final high school match, Petersen was as confident as his coach in the team he was leaving behind.

“Central’s going to be way better next year than we were this year,” Petersen said. “All those juniors you saw this year, they’re all going to lift pretty hard. We’re pushing offseason more this year, so year the team’s going to be 10 times better next year than we were this year.”

But it wasn’t pretty for either team early in the game Saturday. Byron (34-2) led, 19-16, at the half.

Byron shot 18.2 percent from the field, while Bloomington (22-11) hit only 9.1 percent of its shots.

Holloway got the hot hand in the final two minutes of the third quarter, draining three 3-pointers and a layup as Byron began to pull away.

Bailey Burrows and Lexi DeVries added 10 each for Byron.

Late Indiana rally stuns Northwestern The ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Thomas Bryant completed a three-point play with 2.6 seconds left Saturday night, and James Blackmon Jr. finished with 13 points to help Indiana rally from a seven-point deficit in the final 93 seconds to beat Northwestern, 63-62.

The win snapped a five-game losing streak and was the only time Indiana (16-13, 6-10 Big Ten) led in the final 13½ minutes.

Bryant McIntosh scored 22 points for Northwestern (20-9, 9-7) but just missed a half-court heave at the buzzer to win it.

The Hoosiers seemed to take control with a 22-0 run to close the first half – the last coming on Devonte Green’s heave from 60 feet that made it 36-26.

But after retaking the lead with a 17-3 second-half run and taking a 62-55 lead with 1:33 left, Northwestern didn’t score again.

Blackmon’s 3-pointer with 38.6 seconds left made it 62-60, and Bryant won it with a fortuitous bounce on the free throw.

Bryant finished with 11 points and six rebounds.

Scottie Lindsey finished with 13 points and Derek Pardon had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats, who lost their second straight.

Michigan 82, No. 14 Purdue 70: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, Moe Wagner scored 22 of his 24 points in the first half, outplaying everyone on Purdue’s vaunted front line and leading Michigan to a victory over the Boilermakers. The 6-foot-11 Wagner went 10 of 15 from the field and

Derrick Walton added 17 points and 11 rebounds in his final scheduled home game, and the Wolverines (19-10, 9-7 Big Ten) took another big step toward an NCAA tournament berth. Michigan has won five of six, including victories over Michigan State, Wisconsin and Purdue.

The Boilermakers (23-6, 12-4) had their six-game winning streak snapped and could fall into a tie for first in the Big Ten with Wisconsin if the Badgers win Sunday at Michigan State.

Iowa 83, No. 24 Maryland 69: At College Park, Maryland, freshman Jordan Bohannon scored a career-high 24 points,

hitting 8 of 10 3-pointers, to help Iowa breeze past fading Maryland.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Fowler tries to end drought, leads Honda Classic by 4 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

That put him at 13-under 197.

Fowler was four shots ahead of Tyrrell Hatton of England, playing his first PGA Tour event in Florida.

Hatton ran off three straight birdies to get within one of the lead until he went long on the 17th and made bogey, then left a wedge short of the 18th green and had to scramble for par and a 66.

Two-time major champion Martin Kaymer was in position to join him until he took bogey from the middle of the fairway on the 18th and wound up with a 68. That left him in a large group at 7-under 203 that included Emiliano Grillo, who finished his 65 just as the leaders were starting the third round.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Winless in more than a year, Rickie Fowler finished strong Saturday for a 5-under-par 65 and built a four-shot lead going into the final round of the Honda Classic.

Fowler made two birdies over the last three holes at a relatively benign PGA National as everyone else around him was making mistakes.

Fowler holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 16th, got a potential break with a ruling behind the 17th green that allowed him to use a putter instead of a wedge, and then closed with a drive so bold and big that he had only a 7-iron into the par-5 18th that set up a two-putt LPGA TOUR birdie.

LPGA Thailand: At Chonburi, Thai-

land, Amy Yang of South Korea completed a third-round, 7-under 65 early Sunday (local time) to take a five-stroke lead into the final round of the rain-hit tournament. Yang had a three-round total of 18-under 198 on the Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course.

The South Korean golfer had to play the final five holes of her third round Sunday after darkness suspended play late Saturday.

So Yeon Ryu, the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open champion who already completed her third round Saturday with a 68, was in second place.

Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand’s 67 pulled her into a tie for third with South Korean Kim Sei-young (68) and Shanshan Feng, who shot 71. They were seven strokes behind Yang.

Danielle Kang (70) and Cristie Kerr (71) were the top Americans, in a group tied for ninth and nine strokes out of the lead.

EUROPEAN TOUR Joburg Open: At Johannesburg, the

tournament was reduced to 54 holes after more rain left the course waterlogged and forced another suspension in play.

Many of the players hadn’t started the third round when thunder and lightning forced organizers to halt play early in the afternoon at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club.

England’s Paul Waring and South Africa’s Darren Fichardt shared the lead at 11 under, with Waring completing a 67 in his second round early Saturday.

NASCAR MONSTER ENERGY CUP: DAYTONA 500 PREVIEW

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press

Team owner Joe Gibbs watches crew members work on a race car during practice Friday for Sunday’s Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla. concerns, which range from a decreased and aging audience to the cut rate Monster Energy is paying for entitlement rights. The industry hit back with a sponsorship extension through 2023 between Team Penske, Shell-Pennzoil and Joey Logano, as well as an extension for Gibbs with FedEx and Denny Hamlin.

“We announced FedEx the other day, a long-term extension. We saw Shell come in and make a huge decision with Roger (Penske),” Gibbs said. “We have four Cup cars that are well funded, going to go like mad with some of the biggest

that these statements about NASCAR’s health were untrue, as NASCAR was undergoing retraction – something that SHR well understood,” the filing states.

“SHR’s promises were illusory and misleading. There was no massive increase in sales. NASCAR viewership was retreating.”

The SHR conflict turned particularly nasty in part because of the timing: SHR alleged it was left by Nature’s Bakery with more than 20 unsponsored races a month before the season began. Nature’s Bakery is claiming SHR is bullying the family company.

Penske, like Gibbs, remained positive Saturday about the current direction of NASCAR. Although Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart have retired, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will race Sunday after missing the second half of last season with a concussion. Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle also stepped out of their cars this year, and a much younger age group is filling the grid.

Among the rookies racing Sunday is Mexican driver Daniel Suarez , who last year became the first foreign-born national champion when he won the Xfinity Series.

Ranked #1 Nine Hole Course in Illinois by Golf Digest

• Sunday, February 26, 2017

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Joe Gibbs joined the list of heavy hitters defending NASCAR during one of its shakiest periods in decades.

The owner of powerhouse Joe Gibbs Racing said NASCAR has a bright future and noted top-level companies would not participate if the sport was a sinking ship.

“You don’t get the biggest and best companies in America involved in our sport, and going as hard as they are and re-upping and signing unless you’ve got a sport that brings value to the table,” Gibbs said Saturday at Daytona International Speedway.

The season opens Sunday with the Daytona 500, the showcase piece of NASCAR’s 11-month schedule. In the buildup to this version of the Super Bowl, NASCAR has been under scrutiny for its leadership, a new sponsor that is mostly using models to market the series, and a new format that gives longtime fans another chance to scream in angst against gimmicks.

An article in the Wall Street Journal last week spotlighted all of NASCAR’s

and best sponsors in the world.”

And, less than 24 hours before the start of the Daytona 500, speedway officials announced that 101,500 reserved stadium tickets have sold out for the second straight year.

“This is the most prestigious event on the NASCAR schedule and a true American sports tradition. Fans have always recognized those facts,” Daytona president Chip Wile said.

The news wasn’t all rosy, however.

Nature’s Bakery filed a counterclaim two days before the Daytona 500 to the $31 million breach of contract suit Stewart-Haas Racing leveled over a severed relationship with Danica Patrick’s primary sponsor. One of the smallest companies to take on a primary sponsor role in the Cup Series, Nature’s Bakery was to pay $15 million a year for three years to have Patrick promote its fig bars and brownies.

Nature’s Bakery alleges SHR took advantage of its naiveté in the sponsorship world and the company was led to believe it should expect four times the return for sponsoring Patrick’s car. Nature’s Bakery accuses the team of misrepresenting the health of NASCAR. “Nature’s Bakery would later learn

10 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Davidson grateful for another shot at bigs Dodgers 5, White Sox 3

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Baseball is a noncontact sport, but it will beat you up.

Just ask corner infielder Matt Davidson, a former first-round draft pick. After slumping and losing all confidence for a period of two years, Davidson figured something out, climbed his way back to success at AAA Charlotte and then to a call-up to the Sox last June 30.

In his second at-bat in a game against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field and his first in the majors since 2013, Davidson singled against left-hander Tommy Milone. All was right in his world again, it seemed.

Until he rounded first base and felt something go awry in his right foot.

Two days later he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a fracture.

“It was tough,’’ Davidson said.

Ya think?

On Saturday, Davidson, batting fourth in the Sox’s Cactus League opener against the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw, stepped into a batter’s box for the first time in eight months, healed from the injury. He lost all that time, but the confidence in his swing was still there.

His outlook remains bright.

“I look at last year as a complete positive,’’ he said. “I’m so excited about where I am at with my swing, defensively and as a baseball player as a whole. I feel stronger and think I will perform better than I would have last year if I didn’t get hurt. I’ve improved my swing.’’

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Clayton Kershaw breezed through his first inning of spring training work, not allowing a runner in throwing 12 pitches. Justin Turner drove in a run and Yasmani Grandal went 2 for 2 with an RBI. Carson Fulmer struck out three in two scoreless innings. Avasail Garcia went 2 for 2 with two runs scored. The White Sox scored twice off Alex Wood in the second inning on an RBI groundout by Geovany Soto and a sacrifice fly from Yolmer Sanchez.

30 in Chicago.

– The Associated Press

Davidson singled and struck out in two at-bats. He also dived to his left in the field to retire Franklin Gutierrez.

“I’m just so excited to get this thing going,’’ he said.

Considered the third baseman of the future when the Sox traded closer Addison Reed four winters years ago, Davidson swatted 20 and 23 homers at Charlotte in 2014 and ’15 but batted .199 and .203 and struck out a total of 355 times.

Dark times indeed for a player drafted in the first round by Arizona in 2009.

“I had no confidence at all for two years,’’ Davidson said.

“I was down and never recovered until the offseason after 2015. That’s when I learned how to hit.’’

Working with hitting coordinator Mike Gellinger, a behind-the-scenes organization instructor whom Paul

Konerko and Jim Thome leaned on, flipped a switch.

“When I came up in the Diamondbacks system, I just debuted; I just hit,’’ Davidson said. “I didn’t really know what I was. I’ve really learned myself, and what I need to do to be successful.’’

Gellinger said Davidson’s swing was fine. His posture wasn’t.

“It equated to a lot of misses,’’ Gellinger said. “Now the bat travels in the zone a little longer. There’s not so many misses with those good pitches you get to hit.’’

At Charlotte last season, Davidson’s .268/.349/.444 slash line looked nothing like 2014 and ’15. He had 10 homers, 20 doubles and 46 RBI, and the Sox called him up.

“For me it was body position. I was staying back, and it made my swing look

long and it made me late on a lot of pitches. Now I’m in the middle of my body.’’

The confidence he had as a rising prospect is back.

“When you lose your confidence, that’s kind of your biggest thing you have,’’ he said.

Davidson has a chance to grab the bulk of at-bats as designated hitter this year, although manager Rick Renteria’s plan is to divide it up.

“He looks real good, not only in the box but defensively he’s moving around real well at third,’’ Renteria said.

He’s grateful the Sox have stuck with him.

“A lot of players don’t get as many opportunities as I’ve had these four years with the White Sox,’’ Davidson said.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Lawrie joins growing injured list with hamstring strain

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – First center fielder Charlie Tilson, then third baseman Todd Frazier.

On Saturday, infielder Brett Lawrie joined them in the White Sox trainer’s room at Camelback Ranch, receiving treatment on his left leg and putting a potential third of the Opening Day lineup out of uniform for the first Cactus League game of 2017.

The real opener is five and a half weeks away, so there is time for healing what is ailing each of them. Lawrie, who last played July 21, went on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, then dealt with a chain reaction of physical issues that he later attributed to orthotics.

Until now, Lawrie’s participation

in camp has been good.

“He just woke up this morning and felt it,’’ manager Rick Renteria said. “So we’re going to be very cautious.

“He didn’t feel quite right. We’ll re-evaluate it tomorrow.’’

The Sox have Tyler Brett Lawrie Saladino and Yolmer Sanchez on the depth chart at second base, with top prospect Yoan Moncada waiting in the wings. Moncada is not expected to open the season on the 25-man roster.

There is less depth in center, with Peter Bourjos, Leury Garcia and Adam Engel there with Tilson.

Prospect showcase: The Sox are eager to see what their top pitching

prospects can do.

They are giving starts, albeit short ones, to their top four ranked prospects in four of the first five games.

Carson Fulmer, drafted eighth overall last season, pitched two scoreless innings in the Cactus League opener Saturday. After staff ace Jose Quintana starts against the Rockies on Sunday, Lucas Giolito starts Monday against the Cubs before Michael Kopech (Mariners) and Reynaldo Lopez (Reds) start Tuesday in split-squad games.

Per MLBpipeline.com, Giolito is the 11th-ranked prospect in baseball, Kopech is 16th, Lopez 46th and Fulmer 71st.

Kopech arrived in the offseason trade from the Red Sox for Chris Sale; Giolito and Lopez in the deal with the Nationals for Adam Eaton.

Start me up: With Adam Eaton gone, Renteria will make do in the leadoff spot with what’s left in the cupboard.

Tilson has looked the part in the minors and could get a shot there if he gets back on the field.

Tim Anderson led off Saturday, and while having some pop at the top is a plus, he’s not ideal because he doesn’t walk much. Anderson led off 41 times and batted second 47 times in 99 games as a rookie.

“He could be a leadoff guy,’’ Renteria said. “He’s not a prototypical leadoff guy because everybody looks at his on-base (percentage of .306) as being an issue. He’s a hitter. So through the course of the spring, we’ll mix in different guys and see where we’re at.

“We’ve got a long spring and a lot of opportunities. You’re going to see a lot of our kids.’’

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Bruce Miles – bmiles@dailyherald.com

Fans enter Sloan Park for the Cubs’ opening Cactus League game Saturday in Mesa, Ariz. blocking off the 202 (highway). You already see Cubs signs everywhere. The anticipation is going to be pretty large.

It’s great.”

As far as the game goes, it was pretty much a spring-training opener. The regulars got a couple of at-bats and then scooted home.

Mike Montgomery, who got the save in Game 7 of the World Series, was the starting pitcher for the Cubs.

He worked a scoreless first inning and was done after throwing 24 pitches.

He couldn’t help but notice the festive atmosphere in and around the place. The players have to walk from the clubhouse across a path to the stadium and on Saturday that path was lined with fans.

“I had some adrenaline going today,” he said. “It was something different. I hadn’t had that for the last few months. It’s fun. These fans are great.

First time in that stadium. It was cool to see that, be back in that atmosphere and competing, and that’s what we

CUBS NOTES

Fifth starter question remains as Cactus League action begins

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Maybe the best way to describe the Cubs’ relationship status with their fifth starting pitcher is that “it’s complicated.”

The first step in that situation happened Saturday when left-hander Mike Montgomery started and pitched one inning of the Cubs’ Cactus League opener, a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics at Sloan Park.

Montgomery theoretically is battling with fellow lefty Brett Anderson for the fifth spot. Anderson pitches Monday against the White Sox. So is it a battle or not?

“It is and it isn’t,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We like them both. Yes, watching them this camp will be somewhat important. But we have a pretty good idea what we feel about both of them. Anderson’s been really impressive. The big thing with both of them,

if I could explain this properly, neither one has really been stretched out anywhere close to 200 innings over the last couple of years.

“It’s almost like a hybrid moment.

Maybe fold one back into the bullpen for a bit while the other one starts and vice versa. Or just jump a sixth guy in there now and then to keep the other guys from being overworked too early while you’re still giving these guys some work. We talked about it. It’s in theory right now. We haven’t actually laid it down on paper.”

Either Montgomery or Anderson will open the season in the rotation behind Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lackey, providing all are healthy. The “loser” of the fifth-starter’s derby likely will head to the bullpen.

But Maddon does like to trot out a sixth starter at various points of the season, so either Montgomery or Anderson could fill that role from time

to time.

“With my mentality, just come in as a starter, get in that routine and just physically prepare for that,” Montgomery said after his start. “Yeah, there’s a lot of different possibilities they could go with, but for me it’s just continue to build my arm strength and just get my timing down, mechanics down. That way I’m ready to go and do whatever it is that they need me to.”

Meanwhile, in Scottsdale: In Saturday’s other split-squad game, the Cubs fell, 8-6, to the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale. Kyle Schwarber led off, played left field and went 0-for-2. Lefty Rob Zastryzny started and pitched 1 innings.

Javier Baez was 2-for-3, with a double.

World Series memories: The leadoff batter for Oakland on Saturday was Rajai Davis. As a member of the Cleveland Indians, Davis hit a 2-run homer in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the

World Series against the Cubs. That tied the game at 6-6 before the Cubs eventually went on to win 8-7 in 10 innings.

On Sunday, the Cubs will host the Indians at Sloan Park. Davis heard some boos as he led off the game, but the Sloan Park crowd took it easy on him after that.

“It is what it is, and it was what it was,” said Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward, who led off Saturday for his team and went 0-for-3. “As players we’re all enjoying this ride and a new journey. I was surprised he (Davis) didn’t get booed more. That’s just how our fans are. They’re fun like that.

They have fun with the game.

“They acknowledged him. That’s pretty cool for Cubs fans to boo you or any fans to boo you from last year in the World Series. That’s kind of an honor, I would say, to be on that side of things. That means you’re doing something great.”

• Sunday, February 26, 2017

MESA, Ariz. – Saturday had the feel of a special day even before the sun came up in the desert.

Traffic controllers were out around Sloan Park, and some of the streets were closed to traffic.

Tailgaters began streaming into the parking lots not long after, as revelers lit grills and played bags.

The occasion was the Cactus League opener for the Cubs, who were playing their first baseball game of any kind since winning the 2016 World Series in November.

Even though the game – won by the Cubs, 4-3, over the Oakland Athletics – didn’t count, the anticipation was high, and the World Series trophy was on display behind home plate as the sellout crowd of 14,929 streamed in.

“The rally (Friday) was pretty significant,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the preseason pep rally. “I think it was the 1,557th-largest gathering in history of humankind. But it was really cool, everybody there. It was a nice vibe. Our guys came on out. I had my family out there, my kids, my grandkids.

“So my point is that’s what just a rally looked like yesterday. Just driving in this morning, they’re already

love.

“I’ve been in a few spring trainings now. It was definitely a different experience. It was actually hard to control the adrenaline today a little bit. It’s a different feeling usually in spring, a little bit more laid-back. Today, and here especially, it was a lot of energy in there.”

Right fielder Jason Heyward described the atmosphere succinctly.

“Second to none,” he said. “This is preseason, so to speak, but that’s what’s great about spring training out here. Our fans don’t take it for granted. Everybody wants to be a part of it.

It’s a fun ride, obviously as far as Cubs baseball goes. It’s just Day 1 of another year. It’s always fun being able to kind of translate this atmosphere into your regular-season atmosphere because it’s not far from it.”

In other words, look for this about every day the Cubs are at Sloan Park this spring.

“I guess we’re sold out for the most part here,” Maddon said. “Even though it normally is, I would imagine even more are just folks wanting to be around the place. It’s going to be exaggerated. It’s great. It’s great for us. It’s great for the organization. It’s great for the city of Mesa. I’ve lived here for 20 years in the past. I know how closely tied this city is to the Chicago Cubs.”

12 BULLS 117, CAVALIERS 99

Butler leads win over James-less Cavs

By JOE COWLEY

BULLS 117, CAVALIERS 99

jcowley@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Jimmy Butler would have liked nothing more than to welcome newly acquired point guard Cameron Payne onto the court Saturday with a bro-hug and a quick reminder of what the culture in his new surroundings is all about.

The hug would have to suffice.

Yes, the 117-99 win over the LeBron James-less Cavaliers was a nice one.

This time of year, any win is a nice one, especially with Butler getting a triple-double with 18 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade falling just a rebound short of a triple-double.

But with 23 games left in the regular season, when Bulls personnel are asked about the current culture of the organization, the most frequent answer is a non-answer.

“The culture we want to be or bring is just a winning culture,’’ Butler tried to explain. “It doesn’t matter the style of basketball you play, how many 3s you shoot, how many times you get to the line.

“Just win because then it doesn’t matter what culture. I’m telling you if you win, if we win, ain’t nobody talking about what went down [at Thursday’s trade deadline]. Win and then ‘Oh, maybe it was a good move.’ That’s just how this league goes.’’

Not exactly accurate, but consider-

The Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic (left) and Jimmy Butler celebrate late in the second half against the Cavaliers on Saturday in Cleveland. ing the Bulls fine players that speak out about front office decisions, it was the best Butler could come up with.

Under former coach Tom Thibodeau, opposing teams knew exactly what they were going to get for 48 minutes. A grind-it-out, defensive-minded team that would fight for everything.

Said one NBA insider of this year’s Bulls: “I have no idea what they are, but the bigger indictment is they don’t even know who they are.’’

An accusation that both general man-

ager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball operations John Paxson take great offense to.

Meeting with the media for the first time since media day Thursday, Forman and Paxson went out of their way to defend the culture and the plan.

“What I say is that there is a plan in place,’’ Forman said. “We need to get the young guys and continue to get younger, we need to add to this roster, and we need to continue to put ourselves in a position where we can take advantage of

opportunities when they come.’’

Paxson insisted there was a plan, but also said, “Make the playoffs, don’t make the playoffs, we’ll determine what our next step is. [Now is] not the day to talk to [the media] about that or to decide anything.’’

What Saturday was the day for was to start rolling out some of the new faces from the trade, as Payne saw 12 minutes of work in his Bulls debut, hitting two 3-pointers, while Joffrey Lauvergne got two minutes of work.

But the key since the deal has been more minutes for Nikola Mirotic, Bobby Portis and Denzel Valentine, and they have responded.

“You want players to step up when they get an opportunity,’’ Wade said.

BULLS NOTES

Morrow quickly trades No. 1 uniform for No. 11

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Anthony Morrow swears he never even thought about it.

The veteran shooter, who was acquired in the Taj Gibson/Doug McDermott deal with Oklahoma City on Thursday, wore No. 2 with the Thunder, and because that was taken by Jerian Grant, picked the closest number.

So he grabbed No. 1.

He made it known to the media before Friday’s game, and by the time he checked his social media feed after the win over Phoenix, the firestorm was in full burn.

“Yeah. I don’t know how … I mean before the game I didn’t see anybody say anything on Twitter or Instagram, and then when I sat down I started going through my Twitter mentions and it was like crazy,’’ Morrow said Saturday.

“Like, ‘What makes you think you can

wear that?’ I was like, ‘Ohhh, D-Rose …’ [The media all] told me [before the game], but I had forgotten [when I chose the number].

“But I mean I like Derrick. Derrick’s a great guy, that’s my guy, man, and I know what the city means to him. I know what he means to the city. And fans are a part of the Anthony sport and they’re part Morrow of the fan base, so I’m going to respect it.’’

That meant changing from Rose’s No. 1 to the No. 11.

Not the first time this has happened this season, either.

Michael Carter-Williams was acquired from Milwaukee during training camp, and when he went with No. 1 he also felt the immediate social media blowback.

Carter-Williams quickly changed to No. 7 rather than deal with the lingering Rose apologists and fan base.

Asked whether Carter-Williams warned him, Morrow said, “Nope. He was sitting right over there [in the locker room], and I think he saw it, but he was probably like … [Morrow dropped his head and started shaking it]. I don’t know.’’

Word got back to Rose in New York that his fan base was still defending his number, and the longtime Bull told members of the Knicks media, “For me, I feel two ways about it. I understand that it’s just a number, but I get how the fans feel, too, as far as just the memories that we had, me wearing that number.’’

As far as what fans said to Morrow, he said that it didn’t get too vicious in his eyes.

“I mean, it wasn’t nothing I haven’t heard before, but it was just so many people, man,’’ Morrow said. “I was like,

‘This is like crazy.’ But it’s sports, like I said. It’s fans. He clearly has a strong cultlike following, and he’s from here, so I get it.’’

Growing pains: The Bulls again had to leave several bodies back in Chicago, as Carter-Williams was dealing with patellar tendinitis and Paul Zipser still was sidelined with left ankle tendinitis.

Coach Fred Hoiberg said the Carter-Williams injury didn’t sound too serious, but it was bothering him throughout the win over the Suns, so he will be day to day.

No thanks: Hoiberg was asked whether it was important to him that both general manager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said his job was safe and they have seen “growth’’ in his coaching this season.

He quickly sidestepped the question and reiterated that his only focus is winning the next game on the schedule.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of our president Although I didn’t vote for our current president, I agree with Republicans who say to whiney, grumpy Democrats: “He won. Get over it. Stop complaining.”

And I encourage those Republicans to also tell our whiny, grumpy president: “You won. Get over it. Stop campaigning.”

I’m willing to help, because now, as every new day brings a new stumbling block for an embattled White House, I feel it is every American’s civic duty to step forward with whatever helpful advice he might have to offer. (I almost said: “whatever helpful advice he OR SHE might have to offer,” but I don’t think our new president wants to hear a bunch of shrill, hysterical, emotional advice.)

And so, in the spirit of our new president’s style of thinking and acting, here are a few humble suggestions I think he would embrace bigly: Democrats keep harping about the imaginary threat of global warming. At the rate we’re going, they say, Mar-aLago will have to change its name to Enchantment Under The Sea by the time our president has won his fifth or sixth term by landslides.

But that’s ridiculous. He’d just move Mar-a-Lago to Louisville, which will be a seacoast town by then.

But what if the unthinkable happens, and all those nerdy liberals throwing science in our faces are right? What if rising ocean levels really do start flooding good ballcap-wearing states such as Florida, Alabama, Texas and Louisiana?

I think our president should fight science with science. Because nobody understands science (or anything else) better than he does. Just ask him.

How to combat rising ocean levels?

Consider this: When your wife slops water all over her bare feet on the kitchen floor while she’s doing dishes, what’s the first thing she does? She reaches for a sponge, of course. Because sponges absorb water.

Too much water in the oceans?

Simple. Grow more sponges in the seas to absorb the excess! You don’t even have to train a sponge to do it, because sponges love water.

“But what if the sponges start to suck up too much water?” those EPAholes will whimper.

“I’m willing to help, because now, as

every new day brings a new stumbling block for an embattled White House, I feel it is every American’s civic duty to step forward with whatever helpful advice he might have to offer. (I almost said: “whatever helpful advice he OR SHE might have to offer,” but I don’t think our new president wants to hear a bunch of shrill, hysterical, emotional advice.)”

Well, then, harvest the sponges and sell them as Trump-branded “Make America dry again” giveaways with every new American-made car sold in this country.

Better living through SCIENCE – Trump style.

Or take the liberal so-called judges who halted our president’s ban on Muslim immigrants, waving the Constitution in our faces while harping that we can’t deny immigrants entry purely on the basis of religion.

But rather than fighting the judges or signing revised restrictions, I would suggest President Trump combat immigrant openness with even greater openness.

Under this new Trump plan, we should welcome immigrants from all Muslim lands and greet them with a fun “connect the dots” puzzle they would be required to finish and hand in to customs officials. When completed properly, the dots would connect to create the face of Muhammad, sketched directly by the hand of the immigrant seeking entry. Then give all immigrants a complimentary grilled American-grown pork chop, which they must eat in front of customs agents.

“Once you’ve done that, all you Muhammad-sketching, pork-munching immigrants, welcome to America!” our President should say, with that signature level of sensitivity that has become his trademark.

Now, who could object to a policy that welcomes all immigrants without even asking them what religious beliefs they hold? A ban on Muslims?

What ban?

Of course, the lying liberal press

would dredge up video after video of our president calling for a total ban on Muslims. They would call it hypocrisy for a president to say one thing today, after saying the exact opposite thing only months ago.

But again, rather than denying he ever said such a thing, our president should turn the argument back on his critics.

“Yes, I say today that we should welcome Muslim immigrants,” he should tell the lying media. “And yes, I previously said that we should ban them.

But that isn’t a lie, and it isn’t hypocrisy. Your stupid Obamacare insists that we can’t punish a guy for pre-existing conditions, right? Yet you criticize me when my pre-existing comments don’t agree with my currently existing comments! You’re the hypocrites!”

Anyway, these are just a few ideas I would offer to our president (even though I didn’t vote for him, which I repeat for the sake of transparency and a million other reasons). I’m sure he would hatch ideas like these on his own if the lying press didn’t force him to spend all his waking hours tweeting alternative facts in defense of every stumbling step he takes.

So as one after another of the president’s minions fall into disfavor with both Democrats and Republicans alike, and as he fires more staffers before the ink on their new business cards is dry, and as potential appointees he has asked to join his team turn him down, and as his plummeting approval ratings show even the minority of folks who voted for him are starting to feel buyer’s remorse, I hope our president will consider my ideas – and maybe even offer me a staff position.

Give me a chance, Mr. President, because I’ve got a lot of other really, really great ideas I think you’d like bigly. As you would say: “What the hell do you have to lose?” I can’t be worse than some of the other mooks you’ve appointed.

I’d list my phone number here, but I’m sure you can get it from the Russians.

From room service by robots to a loaner Porsche, hotels go all out with extravagant perks to draw in customers

By KATE SILVER

The Washington Post

L

oaner Porsches, robot room service, butler-drawn baths, elf tuck-ins (elf tuck-ins?). It may sound like the life of the 1 percent, but all of these could be yours for the night if you splurge on the right hotel room. We searched hotels across the country for over-the-top, extravagant and just plain eyebrow-raising amenities. Goldfish on demand, anyone? Here’s what we found:

They’re toying with technology

Room service is delivered with a side of bleeps and bloops by “Champ, the Relay Robot” at Rising Star Sports Ranch Resort in Mesquite, Nev. The autonomous robot darts down halls and even operates elevators at the sports-themed family resort, delivering fresh, hot chicken wings and stromboli. Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas recently unveiled its newest “employee”: Rose, a chatbot that guests can text in order to learn more about the resort’s offerings.

Like a modern-day choose-your-own adventure, she can recommend cocktails at different bars, describe the vibe at various restaurants, act as an art tour docent and more. She’s even bawdy in her responses. I asked about light bites to eat, and she replied, “Don’t worry, I promise to bite lightly,” followed by a kissy winky face. In Chicago, Acme Hotel Co. visitors can chat with their in-room Amazon Alexa (the voice service behind Echo that lets users audibly interact with devices) and ask for restaurant and entertainment recommendations, order room service, play music, request maintenance and more.

They’re putting you in the driver’s seat

Plenty of luxury hotels have house cars that will cart you around. But a Porsche you can drive yourself? Rancho Valencia Resort &amp; Spa, just north of San Diego is partnering with Porsche of San Diego to offer a Porsche test-drive program. A 2016 Panamera and a 2016 Boxster are available on a first-come, first-served basis for guests to borrow at no charge for up to four hours a day. Mercedes-Benz fans also have options. At Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colo., visitors can hop in a GLS450 sport-utility vehicle - and borrow it for up to four hours. Or in Santa Fe, N.M., they can take the top down on two convertibles at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado: an SL550 or an SLC300 (both Mercedes-Benzes) are available for the whole day. Denver tourists staying at HALCYON, a hotel at Cherry Creek, can zip around town on a Vespa (or a longboard or an ebike, if they prefer). The hotel lends out gear such as GoPro and Leica cameras, backpacks, binoculars and more to encourage outdoorsy Colorado adventures.

They’re getting hygge with it

Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) - a Danish concept that embraces taking pleasure in the little things in life, such as snuggly socks, warm candlelight and an

In Denver, HALCYON hotel offers Vespas as an amenity. intimate dinner with friends by the fire - has taken the West by storm. So much so that three Kimpton hotels in New York City (Hotel Eventi, the Muse Hotel and Ink48) now have a “hygge concierge” who will deliver all things cozy and comfortable to guests’ rooms, such as aromatherapy oils, tea, special pillows (chosen via a pillow menu), plush socks and blankets, fresh flowers and more.

They’re taking bathtime to a new level

The words “butler-drawn bath” are spoken with reverence at high-end hotels nationwide. At Carneros Resort &amp; Spa in Napa, Calif., guests who reserve a cottage or suite with an outdoor soaking tub can call upon a fireside butler to light the outdoor fireplace, draw an aromatherapy bath and deliver a bottle of bubbly. Patrons at the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour in Miami can choose from 10 bath salts before sinking into a butler-drawn bath and gazing out at the ocean through the bathroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows. At the ever-posh Langham in Chicago, butler-drawn baths are complimentary to club-level patrons, and include rose petals, a selection of bath salts and bubble bath from the in-house Chuan Spa and a glass of Champagne.

They’re customizing your snacks and spirits

Summon the martini man to your room at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago and he can shake (or stir) a cosmopolitan to get your night going; or call on the ice cream man, and he’ll arrive with an

old-fashioned soda fountain cart and craft sundaes to order. Down south, the Lodge at Sea Island in St. Simons Island, Ga., has a “S’morrier” on staff, who will prepare gourmet s’mores for guests around a bonfire. At Soho House hotels in Chicago, New York and Miami, a bartender meanders the halls pushing a cocktail cart nightly between 6 and 9 p.m. offering to craft cocktails for guests as they get ready for dinner.

They’re making special deliveries

A cheeseburger brought to your room feels rather passé these days (even with those adorable mini ketchup bottles). Hard Rock Hotels &amp; Casinos (all locations) have a guitar menu with 20 Fenders in different colors and styles, available for room delivery. Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco in Chicago, Portland, Baltimore and Philadelphia lend goldfish for the night through the Guppy Love program (hotel staff feed and take care of the fish, so no pressure). Restless travelers meet their match at the Benjamin in New York City, where a sleep consultant helped design a “Rest and Relax” program that includes a pillow menu (with options for back sleepers, side sleepers, stomach sleepers and children), on-demand meditations, a bedtime tea and snack menu, and other snooze aids. And during the holidays, elves descend on the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village in California to read kids a bedtime story and then tuck them in, during the “elf tuck-in.”

American protests start Sampler Series • 7 p.m. April 3 – Rockford’s Camp Grant and World War I. Terry Dyer, a

NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Public protests over perceived loss of freedoms and equal rights is nothing new. In the century that followed the Civil War, Illinois businesses made great gains, and the state emerged as a central player in the nation’s economy.

However, those gains were not spread equally across the population.

Many workers believed their wages, hours and working conditions were unfair and repeatedly protested to improve their situation. Political action, unionization, public education, strikes and rallies were their tools, but nowhere was their voice more clear and artistic than in song and poetry.

Illinois became the center of American working-class protest music, as coal miners, laborers, printers, iron workers, clothing workers and their allies penned songs and poems for the cause.

Set firm boundaries for children, alcoholic ex Mr. Atwater: I’ve got a 10-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. I divorced a little more than two years ago, not because I wanted to but because I couldn’t handle my husband’s lying, manipulating and out-of-control drinking.

I started in Al Anon a year ago, and the program has literally saved my life. So many times I’ve vacillated between giving in on the custody and money battles, and so many times I’ve been able to reclaim my strength.

The hardest part is how to keep the kids aware and safe without bad-mouthing their dad. I want them to have whatever relationship they can with him. He loves them and they love him, but when he’s drunk, he’s dangerous and also might drive with them in the car. How can I talk to them (or to him) about my fears and my boundaries?

Dear Reader: I suspect you’ve met other single parents or parents of young kids going through divorces that have similar experiences.

Unfortunately, your situation is not uncommon.

I commend you for being an advocate for kindness, understanding and the kids’ relationship with their dad. My experience is the likelihood this is coming back the other way is small; nevertheless, as I know you’ve learned in Al Anon, you have to be able to live with you. He’s a sick man, not a bad man, and I think this is the road for you to go down with your kids.

First of all, kids usually know more than you give them credit for, especially by ages 10 and 13. They have friends with alcoholic parents, and they’ve learned things in school about drugs and alcohol.

I think it’s a parent’s natural inclination to protect kids, and certainly information should be age-appropriate, but I think talking to them about addictive disease and what you have learned about alcoholism, if you haven’t already done so, is a good idea.

I think your kids should know what the difference is between drinking and drunkenness and understand behavioral cues which indicate overdrinking. They should have cell phones so if they’re with their dad and he’s had too much to drink they can call for a ride home. They also should be instructed to politely refuse to get in the car with him if he’s been drinking.

I think you should explain these boundaries to your ex so even though he’ll probably have a tantrum, he’ll know the intentions.

As you already probably have

found out, the easier part of this formula is setting the boundaries. The harder part is keeping and enforcing them. My experience is setting the boundaries will light off a whole display of intimidation and manipulation tactics from threats about withholding money to playing favorites and trying to convince the kids you are crazy.

That’s active alcoholism in action, and that’s why you have a support group.

Continue to be firm, fair and kind.

It may take time, but the kids will come to understand and will gravitate toward safety and health.

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans is a city strong on traditions, and few inspire as much passion as the king cakes of Mardi Gras season. Do you eat Haydel’s, Gambino’s or Randazzo’s?

Fillings and toppings or old-school simplicity? Do you nibble before the Jan. 6 start to the season, or is that sacrilegious?

To see folks’ devotion for the ringshaped confection, look no further than an early morning at Manny Randazzo King Cakes in suburban Metairie.

Despite frigid weather and rain, the line began forming a half-hour before the 6:30 a.m. opening Jan. 6.

Crescent City Hallenstein brings New Orleans style to Woodstock home Story by OLIVIA MORRISSEY editorial@nwherald.com

Photos by H. RICK BAMMAN hbamman@shawmedia.com

n New Orleans, Mardi Gras is a two-week party; at Craig Hallenstein’s house, it is a year-round celebration.

An original Blaine Kern Studio Mardi Gras figure stands in the Hallenstein family home in Woodstock.

Every room in Hallenstein’s 19th-century Woodstock home pays homage to the bold style of the Big Easy, from detailed stained glass windows to ornate chandeliers and dramatic paintings. Each piece has a story to tell; most are antiques brought back to their former beauty and function within the historic home.

A focus on art and architecture is evident in the multiple building types in the city of New Orleans, including long and narrow shotgun-style houses, expansive town homes and Creole cottages. According to the city of New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission website, New Orleans is home to more than 20 National Register historic districts, and nearly half of all buildings were constructed before World War II. The blending of influences from several cultures and time periods is evident in the period’s architecture and artwork. Many of the pieces throughout Hallenstein’s home are in their original forms and colors, which demonstrate Creole, French and Spanish influences.

Hallenstein, a psychologist by training and published author, started a lifelong love for antiques and the city of New Orleans in his early 20s, when he was a student at the California School of Professional Psychology.

“At that time, I had put together a bucket list: Woodstock resident Craig Hallenstein stands in the New Orleans grotto room in the lower level of his New Orleans-style home.

The world’s largest library gets fine-tuned for kids

By HARRISON SMITH The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – If you walk inside the main building of the world’s largest library, you won’t see many books. There are marble floors, stained-glass windows, elaborate tiled ceilings and gold-leaf doors.

The Library of Congress, 13-year-old Jack DiPaula says, feels “more like a museum” than the public library in his home town of Baltimore.

That’s not to say it’s boring.

On a recent Saturday, Jack and his sister Reilly, 11, participated in a lively 45-minute tour given by Rachel Gordon, a British-born book

lover with a green laser pointer and a knack for history.

Designed just for kids, the weekly 10 a.m. tour is part of a wave of new young-adult offerings at the library, including expanded hours at the Young Readers Center.

The center is open weekdays and now Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and features arts and crafts, shelves packed with comics and other books, author events, and several cheery librarians, all ready to help with school projects and research papers.

“Librarians are really the original search engine,” said Carla Hayden, the Library of Congress’s new chief.

“What they study is how to help people get accurate information, go to the right source.”

Hayden, the former head of the Baltimore library system, became the first female and first African-American librarian of Congress when she was sworn into office in September.

She’s trying to make the library more accessible for kids in Washington and across the country.

You can explore and download historic documents and photographs on the library’s website, Hayden said – including notebooks and letters from figures such as civil rights leader Rosa Parks. Those can give

kids “a fuller sense of history,” along with “a sense of what their own place in history can be.”

Hayden said she also hopes to bring history to the people by mounting traveling exhibitions, perhaps on an 18-wheeler truck that would carry copies of library artifacts across the country.

She plans to use virtual-reality technology to let kids explore the space of the library without leaving home.

For now, there was the Young Readers Center and the many objects on display in the library’s galleries, including a faded piece of paper encased in glass on the second floor.
