Good morning, McHenry County ...

Reporter’s life worth more than an Oscar In the mid-2000s, my late father, a retired teacher, took a job teaching inmates at the Cook County Jail boot camp, which still sounds nothing like retirement to me.

He told me he worked with some great people there, including a younger guy who said he was interested in journalism, and my father wondered whether I’d speak with him about that career choice.

Of course, I said I’d be happy to talk to the guy, so eventually he called me at the office.

His first question was what I thought about journalism, the newspaper field in particular and how to go about breaking in. I explained my path but also that there was more than one way to go about it.

This would be a second career for him. He graduated from Marquette University in 1996 to become a teacher, but he had aspirations of becoming a war correspondent and wondered whether going to graduate school was necessary. He could’ve probably elbowed his way onto a small-town daily newspaper through some other route, but that didn’t seem to be what he was looking for in his mid-30s.

Both teaching and newspaper reporting are among the worst get-rich-quick schemes ever devised, so I don’t waste time on the lecture about low wages.

He said he’d already been accepted to the prestigious Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Then it became a no-brainer. I’d managed both employees and interns from the program and agreed that would be an excellent career path that would lead to the kind of internships he needed to eventually be launched into some hellhole where war correspondents oddly find their peace.

In hindsight, it probably wasn’t a particularly memorable conversation for him, but it later became one for me. That man was

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons James Foley, the fearless journalist beheaded

by ISIS murderers in 2014 after his second kidnapping by Islamic militants as he covered myriad conflicts in the Middle East.

I still think about Jim from time to time, and others like him, when I hear about how members of the media are enemies to the American people. I think about people who are willing to risk their lives to tell the stories of people they don’t know regardless of their race or religion – just because those people are human beings who are suffering and deserve a voice.

I think about how much more humanity a person like that has compared with those who’d casually lump any journalist or publication together with broad strokes. What would they be willing to risk? Some not only wouldn’t risk their lives to help Syrian people, as Jim did, but they wouldn’t even risk allowing people fleeing that devastation into their own country – the Home of the Brave?

“Jim: The James Foley Story,” a documentary on Jim’s life, was one of the nominees at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. It aired on HBO and still is available on HBO Go and On Demand.

This column was written before the Oscars ceremony, but a legacy like that of James Foley and the role of an honest journalist who practiced his craft with compassion and integrity is far more important than any statuette.

DIGIT 300 The estimated number of people who attended Sunday’s 10th annual Polar Plunge in Fox Lake, which benefits Special Olympics Illinois

TODAY’S TALKER MUHAMMAD ALI’S SON HELD AT AIRPORT Muhammad Ali’s son, who bears the boxing great’s name, was detained by immigration officials at a Florida airport and questioned about his ancestry and religion in what amounted to unconstitutional profiling, a family friend said Saturday.

Returning from a Black History Month event in Jamaica, Muhammad Ali Jr. and his mother, Khalilah Camacho Ali, were pulled aside and separated from each other Feb. 7 at the immigration checkpoint at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, said

Chris Mancini, a family friend and attorney.

Camacho Ali was released a short time later after showing a photo of herself with her ex-husband, the former heavyweight boxing champion, Mancini said.

But Ali Jr. was not carrying a photo of his world-famous father – a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Ali Jr., 44, who confirmed his Muslim faith, was detained about two hours, despite telling officials that he’s Ali’s son and a native-born U.S. citizen, Mancini said.

Annual event in Fox Lake marks 10th year

By SARAH STRZALKA

editorial@nwherald.com

FOX LAKE – More than 300 people voluntarily jumped into the frigid water of Nippersink Lake on Sunday – in fact, they paid for the privilege.

“I think the worst part was standing and waiting to go in – the anticipation,” said Rebecca Jacobs of Fox Lake. “If it wasn’t so windy, it would have been a more pleasant experience.”

For the 10th year in Fox Lake, people took the Polar Plunge to raise funds for Special Olympics Illinois.

Jacobs and her mother, Linda, sat outside the changing tent as they wiped sand from the toes of their wet feet.

“My cousin, she was in the Special Olympics,

and seeing what they have to deal with on a daily basis, the struggle they have to go through, the least we can do is go through a couple minutes of freezing our butts off,” Linda Jacobs said.

Although plunges are held at 22 locations throughout the state, the Fox Lake plunge benefits special athletes in Lake and McHenry counties, said Brenden Cannon, a Special Olympics area director.

As the event wrapped up for the afternoon, about $83,000 had been raised, but Cannon said he hoped to hit a goal of $90,000. Donations still can be made online at PlungeIllinois.com.

“You really see what the impact is to athletes and their families,” Cannon said. “A lot of them

FOX LAKE

State lawmakers look to deny pensions to convicted spouses House bill inspired by Melodie Gliniewicz’s case

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Melodie Gliniewicz’s effort to collect her disgraced late husband’s pension has prompted another effort by state lawmakers to prevent similar cases from happening again.

House Bill 350, which passed the Illinois House on a 108-0 vote Friday, would allow for the forfeiture of survivor benefits for anyone convicted of a felony related to the service of any public employee. The bill was filed last month by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, with the

convening of the new General Assembly.

The bill now heads to the Illinois Senate for consideration.

Melodie Gliniewicz faces felony charges of money laundering, conspiracy and misusing charitable funds relating to the now-disbanded Police Explorers youth program run by her late husband, Fox Lake Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz.

Joe Gliniewicz was Rep. David found shot to death Sept. 1, McSweeney 2015, after radioing in that he was pursuing three suspicious people.

Months after a massive police manhunt turned up empty, investigators announced that he committed an elaborately staged suicide meant to hide years of embezzling money from the youth program’s funds.

If signed into law, the legislation only will apply to pensions of employees hired after its effective date and cannot be used against Melodie Gliniewicz – the Illinois Constitution forbids altering the conditions of existing benefits.

McSweeney’s first attempt at passing a law was filed after the end of last year’s spring session and never made it out of committee. An effort last term by state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, suffered a similar fate.

Melodie Gliniewicz, whose trial has been pushed back a number of times, is set to go to trial in Lake County court in May. Her effort to get the survivor’s pension, which would amount to between 50 percent and 75 percent of her husband’s $96,000 salary at the time of his death, is on hold pending the outcome of her trial.

WOODSTOCK

County Board approves moving forward with roundabout project

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A proposal to build a roundabout at an accident-prone intersection north of town again is moving to bid after the McHenry County Board freed it from a yearlong legislative traffic jam.

Board members voted last week, 204, to advertise for bids to replace the two-way stop at Charles and Raffel roads with a roundabout.

The County Board last April was poised to approve a $2.6 million bid, but at the last minute sent it back to a Transportation Committee that had struggled with the concept.

The makeup of the County Board and the committee have changed since the November election.

Like last year, the main opponent

of building the roundabout was board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, who said cheaper alternatives such as lowering the speed limit and enforcing it with a sheriff’s deputy first should be tried.

His main point of opposition in 2016 was that Woodstock Community Unit School District 200, which has Woodstock North High School and its transportation center nearby, should be willing to absorb some of the cost.

“I think we could probably fix everything at this point for a few hundred bucks if we lower the speed limit,” Walkup said.

A roundabout, a common sight on roads in Europe, is a circular intersection that supporters say is a safer alternative to intersections. Because

Wonder Lake man starts business out of area home

By NATE LINHART

Wonder Lake resident Steve Wohnrade launched his business, Air1 Drone Services LLC, on Sept. 1 after seeing his sister and nephew working with drones about three years ago.

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – Steve Wohnrade of Wonder Lake said he believes the U.S. drones market is going to explode in the near future.

“Drones have a lot of applications,” Wohnrade said. “There’s almost no business that can’t use drone data or photography for something.”

Seeing a need for a drone service around the nation, the Wonder Lake resident said he wanted to create his own drones company.

“About three years ago, I saw my sister and nephew working with drones in Colorado. So I began messing around with drones and decided to started my own LLC in Illinois with the help of my two nephews,” Wohnrade said.

Air1 Drone Services LLC officially opened for business Sept. 1, offering data collection and aerial inspections, as well as videography and photography for real estate, construction, engineering and other purposes.

Another service the Wonder Lake company provides is drone setup and training for first-time users.

“We also use the drones for internet promotions on people’s web pages,” Wohnrade said. “We do quick flyovers and get aerial footage that helps promote real estate, businesses and events.”

Wohnrade said his company serves anywhere he’s willing to drive to, including central Illinois and Wisconsin.

“I’ll travel a little bit if there’s a job

out there that can use my services,” Wohnrade said.

While Air1 Drone Services provides help for a lot of different needs, Wohnrade said he thinks the business’ future will include using the drones for data collection.

“Along with the photography side, there’s a much more technical end to it, such as surveying and thermal imaging for collecting data purposes,” Wohnrade said. “That’s where the market is headed for drones, and what we will likely end up focusing on as a company.”

Even though a lot of people might still be wary of drones, Wohnrade said, his company’s motto is to “fly them safely, legally and ethically.”

“As a new startup in this field, we want to help carry this industry respectfully,” Wohnrade said. “We want to set a

good example.”

Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration started enforcing new drone guidelines. As part of the guidelines, drone operators are required to have a remote pilot certification to fly them commercially. To obtain a remote pilot certificate, applicants must be at least 16 years old, be examined by the Transportation Security Administration and either pass an FAA initial aeronautical knowledge test or complete a small unmanned aircraft system online training course.

“To get the certificate, you have to study, know the weather, aerodynamics and stuff like that,” Wohnrade said.

“These new FAA rules are making things safer, and less people should be worried about drones because of these rules.”

Monday March 6, 2017 7:00 PM

Get pain when you run or have you had to stop running altogether? Is running no longer any fun? Feeling weighted down or tied down when you run? Ever felt like skipping days between runs because of fatigue or pain? Having difficulty improving your running speed or mileage?

Have you ‘Hit the Wall’?

Afraid it will get worse?

If you answered YES to any of these questions (or have a stubborn running buddy who is in denial) Diamond Physical Therapy’s BETTERRUNNER WORKSHOP could just be the help and information you need to put the “run” back in your life!

Professional athletes have their own dedicated running coaches, so why shouldn’t you get some professional help to make your running faster, longer, pain free or simply more fun again? Hitting the performance wall can be really frustrating with all your hard work and nothing to show for it.

At the BETTER-RUNNER WORKSHOP, Alecia Grounds, DPT and POSE Certified Running Technique Specialist, will discuss many of the things that can get in the way. She can help make your runs easier, better, pain free and fun again!

• • • •

Improve your running form, it’s not as hard as you might think.

How to become a more efficient running machine.

Decrease the stress on all your joints and spine while running.

Become familiar with common running injuries; how to identify and prevent them.

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO STOP RUNNING Here at Diamond Physical Therapy we have helped many runners who’ve suffered with performance barriers or running related injuries, get back on their feet. Here’s what one of our past patients had to say…

“Prior to Physical Therapy, running and walking had become a very difficult task, so much so that I had to stop running. I am a physically active person so this was upsetting. My right foot and right leg pain became unbearable. I realized the way I was running was not the safest for my body. I was shown the proper mechanics of running, many exercises and stretches that have not only corrected my right leg/ foot issues, but also improved my overall body functioning/composition. I look forward to running again and of course practicing my dynamic stretches before and my static stretches after running. Thanks for giving me my health back!” Dawn M. Herbig SO BY REQUEST… We’re hosting a free BETTER-RUNNER WORKSHOP here at Diamond Physical Therapy 1140 East Algonquin Rd Algonquin IL on Saturday, February 4th at 10:00 AM. We only have 20 seats available and this event is being promoted in the newspaper, on social media, and our newsletter to over 5000 past patients so call the office at 847-854-0196 today, it’s FREE! If you would like to bring a friend, running partner or spouse we’ll make room for them too.

• ROUNDABOUT

How they voted

Continued from page A4

there is only one-way movement throughout the roundabout – cars travel counterclockwise until they find their turn – they all but eliminate the possibility of head-on and right-angle collisions.

They also are cheaper to build than signal intersections – the county’s estimate for a signal intersection at Charles and Raffel roads came in at $3.6 million.

Improving the intersection has been on the county’s five-year highway improvement plan since 2009. It is in the top 5 percent of all county intersections under local control when it comes to the severity of crashes, according to county records.

The intersection gets about 16,000 vehicles a day, according to traffic counts made in 2012, when the project started being prioritized.

Supporters of bidding the project included member James Kearns, R-Huntley, who said low prices and companies hungry for business will make for “extremely competitive” bids.

The McHenry County Board voted, 20-4, to advertise bids to build a roundabout at Charles and Raffel roads north of Woodstock.

The County Board was poised last year to approve the project, but instead sent it back to the Transportation Committee.

Members Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake; Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry; Charles Wheeler, R-McHenry; and John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, voted no.

New Transportation Committee Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, also supported moving forward with the roundabout.

“It is cheaper and safer to build a roundabout than a stoplight. Period,” Gottemoller said.

Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager and Highway Commissioner Don Goad of Greenwood Township, where the intersection is located, have publicly supported replacing the intersection with a roundabout.

The first roundabout in McHenry County opened in 2014 in Johnsburg.

Special Olympics has meant a lot to Katie Millar of Mundelein, who said her coaches are her biggest fans – aside from her mom.

“They respect me, encourage me and befriend me,” she said. “They believe in me, which helps me believe in myself. With that attitude, I am not afraid to try new things.”

She recently brought back a gold medal and two silver medals from the Special Olympics Illinois Winter Games in Galena, and in a few weeks her basketball team will compete in the Special Olympics version of March Madness.

“Your support means I can enjoy some friendly competition,” Millar told the crowd. “Your support gives me the opportunity Katie Millar to achieve. I feel Special Olympics good about myself because of you.”

Illinois athlete James Williams, a Special Olympian from Lake in the Hills, said it has been wonderful to be acknowledged for playing sports that he loves.

OBITUARIES

By LINDSEY BAHR

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Bill Paxton, a prolific and charismatic actor who had memorable roles in such blockbusters as “Apollo 13” and “Titanic” while also cherishing his work in “One False Move” and other low-budget movies and in the HBO series “Big Love,” has died from complications due to surgery. He was 61. A family representative issued a statement Sunday on the death but provided no further details.

Paxton, a Fort Worth, Texas, native, appeared in dozens of movies and television shows and seemed to be around when history was made both on and off screen. As a boy, he was in the crowd that welcomed President John F. Kennedy in Texas on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, hours before Kennedy was killed in Dallas. As a young man, he worked in the art department for “B’’ movie king Roger Corman, who helped launch the

RONALD W. GLUFF SR.

Born: May 30, 1943 Died: February 22, 2017

Ronald W. Gluff Sr. will be deeply missed by many. He joined his “bride,” Nancy, in heaven on February 22, 2017.

Ron was born in Woodstock on May 30, 1943. He and Nancy raised their three children Ron, Brian, and Julie in Schaumburg for nearly forty years and just recently he returned to Woodstock. Ron or Ronnie, as his childhood friends knew him as, was a man of many values. He believed that you needed to work hard, be honest, and be “a man of your word.” Being on time meant you were late and there were no such things as excuses. He was loyal and trustworthy.

One could only aspire to live the dignified life that Ron lived.

He was a dedicated Navy Seabee who served in the Vietnam War. While there, he received a random Christmas card from a woman named Nancy from Chicago and the rest was history. He established himself as one the most well-respected and safest locomotive engineers while he worked for the Chicago Northwestern and Union Pacific Railroads for nearly 40 years. He was a father who was a role model to his children.

Ron always “told it like it was.” You always knew where you stood with him. He had the kindest heart and would do anything for his friends and family. He appreciated lifelong friendships and the kindness that so many others showed him. Ron fought hard in everything he did, including his last remaining days. Although he left us too early and he

careers of numerous actors and filmmakers.

Paxton’s movie credits included some of the signature works of the past 40 years, from “Titanic” and “Apollo 13” to “The Terminator” and “Aliens.” Television fans knew him for his role as a polygamist, with three wives who expected the best from him, in the Bill Paxton HBO series “Big Love,” for which he received three Golden Globe nominations.

“Bill Paxton was a big-hearted, thoughtful and honorable person,” his “Big Love” co-star Chloe Sevigny said in a statement. “He always had a smile on his face and could entertain any room with his wonderful stories of his many amazing years in Hollywood.”

Paxton was starring in the CBS drama “Training Day,” which premiered Feb. 2. The network has not yet an-

I’m sure he is already fishing, while drinking a Diet Pepsi, just waiting to see how the Cubs will do this season.

A celebration of his life will be held at Coleman’s Tavern and Grill in Woodstock from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Saturday March 4th; in his honor, flannel shirts are the requested attire. A Mass will be held March 6th at St. Mary Catholic Church in Woodstock 9:30 a.m. with a brief visitation at 9:00 a.m.

ALBERT M. JOURDAN JR. Albert M. “Al” Jourdan Jr., age 82, of Johnsburg, died Saturday, February 25, 2017, at Centegra Hospital – McHenry. Al was well known after serving as McHenry County Republican Chairman, Illinois Republican Chairman and also as McHenry County Auditor.

nounced whether it will continue to air the completed episodes.

Paxton is survived by his wife of 30 years, Louise Newbury, and their two children. His first marriage, to Kelly Rowan, ended in divorce.

Nearly 200 storm chasers paid tribute Sunday to the late actor by spelling out his initials using GPS coordinates on a map depicting the heart of Tornado Alley. The effort was to honor the leading man in the disaster movie “Twister,” which inspired a generation of storm chasers.

Paxton’s death adds a sad note to Sunday night’s Academy Awards ceremonies. Paxton was never nominated but appeared in several Oscar-winning movies and was beloved and respected throughout Hollywood and beyond.

“On this Oscar Sunday, watch ‘One False Move’ or ‘A Simple Plan’ to see this lovely leading man, at his finest,” Paxton’s friend Rob Lowe tweeted.

Paxton brought a reliably human di-

mension to big-budget action adventures and science fiction. He was, sci-fi fans like to point out, the only actor killed by a Predator, a Terminator and an Alien.

But Paxton, famously genial and approachable, defined his career less by his marquee status than as a character actor whose regular Joes appeared across the likes of “One False Move,” “A Simple Plan” and “Nightcrawler.”

“I’m a frustrated romantic actor,” he told The Associated Press in 2006. “I wanted to play the Bud part in ‘Splendor in the Grass,’ I wanted to play Romeo – the great, unrequited, tragic love stories.

I’ve gotten to mix it up a bit with the ladies, but the romance has been a subplot, running from the tornado or whatever.”

“I feel like I’m a regionalist and a populist who’s never fit in among the intellectuals,” he added. “I think there’s where the heart of American art is. My greatest roles have been in regional films, whether it was ‘One False Move’ or ‘Frailty’ or ‘Simple Plan’ or ‘Traveller.’ ”

School seminar sparks civil rights, race debate New Trier High School Superintendent Linda Yonke and Assistant Superintendent Tim Hayes pose Wednesday at the school’s campus in Northfield.

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

WINNETKA – When a largely white public school nestled in Chicago’s wealthiest suburbs planned a daylong civil rights seminar, it drafted two National Book Award winners as keynote speakers and crafted a syllabus that would be the envy of most liberal arts colleges.

But New Trier, a high-achieving, 4,000-student high school regularly ranked among the nation’s best, found itself stepping into the minefield of the national dialogue on race and civil rights. Some parents and conservative groups have deemed the event during Black History Month “radical” and “divisive.” Dueling petitions circulated, heated emails were exchanged and hundreds of people packed a school board meeting beyond capacity.

While New Trier’s demographics and resources aren’t reflective of many public schools, the debate highlights the complications of teaching civil rights when much of the country struggles to discuss race. Some educators worry their work will become more difficult after a polarizing election that’s fueled divisions, even in homogenous and largely Democratic areas such as the upscale Lake Michigan suburbs making up New Trier.

For educators the goal is simple.

High levels of manganese found on Chicago’s South Side

CHICAGO – Dusty mounds of petroleum coke are no longer in Chicago, but federal and city officials have discovered a potentially more dangerous kind of pollution while investigating the black piles that once towered above the city’s far South Side.

Air monitors posted around two storage terminals on the Calumet River in 2014 and 2015 detected alarming levels of manganese, the Chicago Tribune reported. The heavy metal is used in steelmaking and can permanently damage the nervous system and trigger anxiety, learning difficulties and memory loss.

Investigators said they have an idea about which company is responsible for

“One of the things we most hope happens is for the kids to be able to see the world through someone else’s eyes,” Superintendent Linda Yonke said.

Dozens of workshops Tuesday will cover such topics as voter suppression, affordable housing and police brutality. Colson Whitehead, whose historical fiction “The Underground Railroad” has won literary accolades, will speak.

Organizers want students to think about how race might affect daily life and be moved to action, if necessary.

Administrators and many parents say it’s particularly important because of the school’s population: Roughly

85 percent of the students are white with similar demographics among the teachers. In Winnetka, home to the main campus, the median household income is more than $200,000 and stately brick mansions are common.

New Trier began all-school seminar days in the early 1990s, although it’s not an annual event. Students and teachers write the curriculum and regular attendance rules apply. Topics vary. In previous years, the school has addressed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The first hint of a pushback started last year, when the event coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day and one workshop included ways to ex-

the pollution, but their efforts to pinpoint the culprit and crack down on its emissions have been thwarted for nearly three years.

The company, S.H. Bell Co., stockpiles manganese and other materials near the former petcoke sites. The Pittsburgh-based firm said it’s not responsible for the pollution.

Colette wrote that studies have shown that shortening the amount of time “compliant offenders” spend on supervised release doesn’t hurt public safety.

Jackson Jr.’s lawyer seeks shorter supervision period

WASHINGTON – An attorney for Jesse Jackson Jr. is asking that the former Illinois congressman be allowed to end supervised release early.

Jackson, son the civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, was given a 2½-year prison sentence for spending $750,000 in campaign money on personal items. Attorney John Colette wrote in a court filing Friday that Jackson has now successfully completed about 18 months of supervised release, about half of what he was ordered to complete.

The filing in federal court in Washington said that Jackson has “maintained a

2 young girls found dead after Chicago house fire

CHICAGO – A Chicago Fire Department official said a fire on the city’s South Side that killed a 7-month-old girl and a 2-year-old girl likely was caused by someone in the house using the stove to heat the building.

Commander Frank Velez said that foul play is not suspected in the fast-spreading fire that also left a 6-year-old boy in critical condition.

The children were all found in the basement of a two-story house after the fire was reported about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

plore white guilt.

As this year’s Seminar Day approached, opposition spread.

Breitbart News – once led by White House chief strategist Steve Bannon – deemed the event “a major left-wing indoctrination project.” The National Review weighed in, as did the Illinois Family Institute, calling it a “smorgasbord of ideologically non-diverse seminars.” A local publication backed by a conservative activist and businessman dug up school administrators’ voting records. A Wall Street Journal opinion piece proclaimed it a “racial indoctrination day.”

Parents, some linked to conservative organizations, formed a small but vocal opposition group.

“The school went about this in a way that ensures it will be narrow and divisive,” said Betsy Hart, who has two children enrolled. Hart, a senior writer at the conservative Heritage Foundation who says her school activism is separate from her day job, expects the parent group to continue pushing for more conservative voices at New Trier High.

Among its numerous and nuanced requests, the group wants to add research supporting voter identification laws to a session on voter suppression and ensure a panel on affirmative action includes contrasting views such as the suggestion that it’s detrimental for minorities.

Office identified the children who died as 7-month-old girl Ziya Grace and 2-year-old Jamaii Grace.

Officials said two women, ages 25 and 48, escaped the basement on their own and were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Man who killed son pleads guilty to 2nd-degree murder

URBANA – A central Illinois man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of his son.

Sixty-seven-year-old David Farrell of Urbana entered the guilty plea Friday in the death of 29-year-old Matthew Farrell. Authorities said the June 12 shooting occurred at the family home during a second angry encounter between the two men that day.

Champaign County Assistant State’s Attorney Scott Larson said he agreed to the guilty plea because two witnesses were prepared to testify that Matthew Farrell struck his father during an argument about three hours before the shooting. He said both men had been drinking.

Trump welcomed 46 governors and their spouses to the annual Governors’ Ball at the White House, the first major social event of his administration. The president congratulated first lady Melania Trump on the elegant candle-lit event in the State Dining Room, telling the audience, “The room, they say, has never looked better, but who knows.”

During his toast, the president noted his Monday meeting with the governors at the White House, saying, “Perhaps health care will come up,” a nod to the effort in Congress to repeal and replace the sweeping health care law installed under President Barack Obama.

Health care, Gorsuch on Congress’ agenda

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Congress returns to Washington this week to confront dramatic decisions on health care and the Supreme Court that may help determine the course of Donald Trump’s presidency.

First, the president will have his say, in his maiden speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. Majority Republicans in the House and Senate will be closely watching the prime-time address for guidance, marching orders or any specifics Trump might embrace on health care or taxes, areas where some of his preferences remain a mystery.

Congressional Republicans insist they are working closely with the new administration as they prepare to start taking votes on health legislation, with the moment finally upon them to make good on seven years of promises to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. House Republicans hope to pass their legislation by early April and send it to the Senate, with action there also possible before Easter.

Republicans will be “keeping our promise to the American people,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said as he sent lawmakers home for the Presidents Day recess armed with informational packets to defend planned GOP changes to the health law.

But land mines await. The recess was dominated by raucous town halls where Republicans faced tough questions about their plans to replace the far-reaching law with a new system built around tax credits, health savings accounts and high risk pools. Important questions are unanswered, such as the overall cost and how many people will be covered. There’s also uncertainty about how to resolve divisions among states over Medicaid money.

The lack of clarity created anxiety among voters who peppered lawmakers from coast to coast with questions about what would become of their own health coverage and that of their friends and family. It’s forced Republicans to offer assurances that they don’t intend to take away the law and leave nothing in its place, even though some House conservatives favor doing just that.

“What I have said is repeal and replace and more recently I have defined that as repairing the ACA moving forward,” Rep. Leonard Lance, R-N.J., insisted to an overflow crowd in his politically divided district this past week. “I think we have a responsibility in Washington to try to make the system better.”

It remains to be seen whether the release of detailed legislation in the coming days will calm, or heighten, voters’ concerns. Details on the size of tax credits to help people buy insur-

With lawmakers set to return to the Capitol on Monday, it will become clearer whether the earful many got back home will affect their plans. GOP leaders are determined to move forward, reckoning that when confronted with the reality of voting on the party’s repeal and replace plan, Republicans will have no choice but to vote “yes.”

Many Republicans say that how they will handle health legislation will set the stage for the next big battle, over taxes. And that fight, many believe, will be even trickier than health care. Already, it has opened major rifts between House and Senate Republicans.

Senators also will be weighing the nomination of federal appeals Judge Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court. Hearings soon will get underway in the Senate Judiciary Committee; floor action is expected before Easter. Despite Gorsuch’s sterling credentials, Democrats are under pressure from their liberal supporters to oppose him, given voters’ disdain for Trump and the GOP’s refusal last year to allow even a hearing for Obama’s nominee for the high court vacancy, federal appeals Judge Merrick Garland.

Yet some Democrats are already predicting that one way or another, Gorsuch will be confirmed. Even if he doesn’t pick up the 60 votes he needs, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., could use a procedural gambit to eliminate Democrats’ ability to filibuster Gorsuch, an outcome that Trump has endorsed.

which are less protected than the military and police installations that are their usual targets.

Northern Sinai has for years been the epicenter of an insurgency by Islamic militants, and the area’s few Christians have slowly been trickling out.

But departures surged after suspected militants again gunned down a Christian man in front of his family two days after Fawzy’s uncle and cousin were killed, stoking panic among Christians.

No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. But the IS affiliate, which is based in northern Sinai, released a video vowing to step up attacks against Christians, who it describes as “infidels” empowering the West against Muslims.

Coptic Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s population, always have been a favorite target of Islamic extremists. But attacks on churches have increased since the 2013 military overthrow of an Islamist pres-

ident. Christians overwhelmingly supported the army chief-turned-president, el-Sissi, who led the ouster, and extremists have used their support as a pretext to increase attacks against them.

The Christian exodus continued for a fourth day Sunday, bringing to more than 100 the number of families who have fled el-Arish, said Nabil Shukrallah, an official with the city’s Evangelical Church.

Families arrive frightened and in need of supplies, which are being stockpiled at the church from donations from several parishes, he said.

The new arrivals are then housed in and around the city, in private homes or in accommodations provided by the government.

“They’re exhausted, with urgent needs for food and children’s clothing,” he said, as one father carried a sick infant to be evacuated by ambulance.

“They’re terrified of the violence and brutality.”

Casualties mount as Iraqi troops advance in Mosul

By SUSANNAH GEORGE The Associated Press

MOSUL, Iraq – “We have wounded!” the men shouted from the roadside. Two soldiers, bleeding, were being bandaged beside their smoking vehicle on the side of a dusty dirt road.

Iraqi special forces Maj. Saif Ali yelled to his driver to stop and leaped out. “Put one inside and the other on top!” he called to his men. One was put in Ali’s seat, the other laid on the vehicle’s hood. “Go!” he shouted, crouching on the hood next to the wounded man. His driver blared the horn and the gunner shot into the air trying to clear a way through a sea of fleeing civilians and livestock.

As Iraqi forces push deeper into western Mosul, the assault is bringing a surge of casualties – at least 30 Iraqi security forces and more than 200 civilians killed or wounded in the past three days.

Iraq’s military does not release official casualty reports, but medics at front-line clinics provided figures on the condition of anonymity.

The sudden spike in casualty numbers mirrors what played out in Mosul’s east as the fight moved from rural villages to dense urban areas. Front-line medic stations that stood empty for the first days of the assault on Mosul’s west, announced last week, are now overflowing.

At one clinic Sunday, the dead had to be moved to the ground to free up beds as more injured arrived.

The soldiers that Maj. Ali picked up had been wounded when a mortar – fired from districts held by the Islamic State group – hit them along a route used by

Tired displaced Iraqis flee their homes Sunday because of fighting between Iraqi security forces and Islamic State militants on the western side of Mosul, Iraq. the thousands of civilians fleeing Mosul on foot in the days after Iraqi forces first punched into Mamun neighborhood Friday.

Ali had been on his way back to base after a quick visit to the edge of Mamun neighborhood. Now he was gripping the grate of his Humvee, using his own weight to keep the wounded man from sliding off the hood.

In the front passenger seat, the other soldier – with a head wound – sat with his eyes wide open and glassy. Everyone inside the vehicle rode in almost com-

plete silence as Ali and his gunner shouted directions to the driver and yelled for civilians to move out of the way.

Blood slowly soaked through the black shirt of the man sitting in Ali’s seat. The nearest clinic was 3 miles away – down bumpy dirt roads, crowded with people. After a few moments the soldier went completely limp, his body swaying slackly with each bump the Humvee hit.

He was dead.

On Sunday afternoon Iraq’s special forces still were struggling to clear the Mamun neighborhood, bringing them

back to a phase of grueling urban combat similar to the fight for eastern Mosul in early November when military attrition rates spiked.

Iraqi forces at a base a few miles south of the front called in airstrikes to take out small units of two or three IS fighters who repeatedly managed to halt advancing Iraqi convoys.

The number of car bombs targeting Iraqi forces in western Mosul has been fewer than what forces experienced in the east: approximately four a day in the west compared to more than dozen a day in the east.

But the number of armed IS drones has ballooned. In a singled day drones dropped more than 70 munitions on Iraqi forces. The bombs mostly caused light injuries but they disrupted operations and monopolized the finite surveillance capabilities available from Iraq’s military and the U.S.-led coalition backing the Mosul fight.

The whizz of mortars on the edge of Mamun neighborhood repeatedly sent families scattering for cover as they tried to flee Mosul’s city limits. The route civilians are using to flee Mosul’s west on foot is still within mortar range of IS fighters inside the city and largely out in the open, leaving people more vulnerable than those who fled the city’s eastern side.

“You can see this road is continually being hit by mortars from (the Islamic State group),” said Lt. Gen. Abdel Ghani al-Asadi a few kilometers back from the front, pointing to the clouds of dust kicked up by the munitions on Mosul’s edge.

ISMAILIA, Egypt – After Islamic militants barged into his uncle’s house, shot him and his son dead, then looted the place and set it on fire, Said Sameh Adel Fawzy knew it was time to leave.

The 35-year-old Christian, who owns a plumbing supply business in Egypt’s troubled northern Sinai town of el-Arish, packed up a few belongings and brought his family to the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, joining hundreds of Christians fleeing a spate of sectarian killings last week.

“My cousin went to open the door after he heard knocking,” Fawzy said, speaking from a youth hostel where authorities were putting up dozens of families who fled the town. “Masked extremists, terrorists with a pistol, took him inside and shot him in the head,” then dragged his screaming mother out to the street half-dressed and killed her

husband. The woman, still in shock after the Tuesday night slayings, sat nearby.

“They’re thirsty for the blood of any Christian,” said Wafaa Fawzy, the sister-in-law of Saad Hana, the man who was killed along with his son. “They were pretty clear when they said they won’t leave any Christian in peace.

They want an Islamic State.”

The killings, two of seven brutal slayings in recent weeks, come after a devastating IS suicide bombing at a Cairo church in December that killed nearly 30 people. The violence poses a fresh challenge to President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s government to put down an IS-led insurgency in northern Sinai and prevent spillover that at times has reached the mainland.

The group’s local affiliate recently vowed to step up a wave of attacks on the embattled Christian minority, pointing to a shift in tactics toward targeting Christians and their holy sites,

Mix-up leads to wrong winner announcement

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

• Monday, February 27, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Oscar winner, take two.

Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” – not, as it turned out, “La La Land” – won best picture at the Academy Awards in a historic Oscar upset and an unprecedented fiasco that saw one winner swapped for another while the “La La Land” producers were in mid-speech.

Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway apparently took the wrong envelope – the one for best actress winner Emma Stone – onto the stage. When they realized the mistake, representatives for ballot tabulators Price Waterhouse Coopers raced onstage to try to stop the acceptance speech.

But backstage, Stone said she was holding her winning envelope at the time. “I think everyone’s in a state of confusion still,” said Stone. Later the actress, who pledged her deep love of “Moonlight,” added, “Is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time? Cool!” Kenneth Lonergan, who won best screenplay for his “Manchester by the Sea,” joked to reporters, “It turned out that we actually won best picture.”

It was, nevertheless, a shocking upset considering that “La La Land” came in with 14 nominations, a record that tied it with “Titanic” and “All About Eve.” Barry Jenkins’ tender, bathed-inblue coming-of-age drama, made for just $1.5 million, is an unusually small Oscar winner. Having made just over $22 million as of Sunday at the box office, it’s one of the lowest grossing best-picture winners ever – but also one of the most critically adored.

“Even in my dreams this cannot be true,” said an astonished Jenkins, once he reached the stage. “Moonlight,” released by indie distributor A24, also had some major muscle behind it, including Brad Pitt’s Plan B, which also backed the 2015 winner “12 Years a Slave.”

Host Jimmy Kimmel had come forward to inform the cast that “Moonlight” had indeed won, showing the inside of the envelope as proof. “I knew I would screw this up,” said Kimmel, a first-time host.

Producer Jordan Horwitz then graciously passed his statue to the “Moonlight” producers. “I noticed the commotion that was happening and I thought that something strange had occurred,” Jenkins said backstage. “The last 20 minutes of my life have been insane.”

He said that backstage Beatty insisted on showing the wrong envelope to him before anyone else.

‘Moonlight’ wins best picture at Oscars

Barry Jenkins and the cast accept the award for best picture for “Moonlight” at the Oscars on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

“La La Land” still collected a leading six awards, including honors for cinematography, production design, score, the song “City of Stars” and best director. Chazelle, the 32-year-old filmmaker, became the youngest to win best director.

“This was a movie about love, and I was luckily enough to fall in love while making it,” said Chazelle, speaking about his girlfriend and Oscars date, Olivia Hamilton.

Up until the chaotic end, the telecast had seesawed between jabs at Donald Trump and passionate arguments for inclusivity. “All you people out there who feel like there isn’t a mirror out there for you, the academy has your back, the ACLU has your back and for the next four years we will not leave you alone, we will not forget you,” Jenkins said.

Lonergan, the New York playwright whose last film (“Margaret”) was beset by lawsuits and conflict, won best original screenplay. “I love the movies. I love being part of the movies,” said Lonergan, who then thanked his star. “Thank you Casey Affleck, Casey Affleck, Casey Affleck.”

Shortly later, Affleck – in one of the night’s most closely watched categories, won best actor – his first Oscar – for his soulful, grief-filled performance in “Manchester by the Sea.” Affleck and

Denzel Washington (“Fences”) were seen as neck-and-neck in the category.

An admittedly “dumbfounded” Affleck looked shocked when his name was read.

“Man, I wish I had something bigger and more meaningful to say,” said Affleck, who hugged his more famous brother, Ben, before taking the stage.

The show kicked off with Justin Timberlake dancing down the Dolby Theatre aisles, singing his ebullient song, “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” from the animated film “Trolls.” It was an early cue that the Oscars would steer, at least in part, toward festiveness rather than heavy-handedness. Protests, boycotts and rallies have swirled ahead of Sunday night’s Oscars. But host Kimmel, in his opening monologue, quickly acknowledged that he “was not that guy” to heal a divided America.

But he still, pointedly, led a standing ovation for the “overrated” Meryl Streep. He later tweaked the president by tweeting to him on air, including telling him that Streep “says hi.”

The wins for Davis, who co-starred in Denzel Washington’s August Wilson adaptation “Fences,” and Mahershala Ali, the “Moonlight” co-star, were both widely expected. Their awards marked the first time in more than a decade that

multiple Oscar acting honors went to black actors.

“I became an artist, and thank god I did, because we are the only profession to celebrate what it means to live a life,” said Davis, the best supporting actress winner. “So here’s to August Wilson, who exhumed and exalted the ordinary people.”

Ali won best supporting actor for “Moonlight.” He glowed on the stage as he informed the crowd that he and his wife, Amatus Sami-Karim, welcomed a daughter four days earlier. The actor thanked his wife for “being such a soldier through the process.”

Both stuck to more private reflections over politics. But a more blunt protest came from a winner not in attendance. Best foreign film for the second time went to Asghar Farhadi, director of Iran’s “A Salesman.”

Farhadi, who also won for his “A Separation,” had said he wouldn’t attend because of Trump’s travel ban to seven predominantly Muslim nations.

Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian astronaut, read a statement from Farhadi.

“I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight,” it read. “My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of the other six nations who have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Government statistics vital President Donald Trump’s penchant for “alternative facts” raises a troubling question: What if the same instinct leads him to pressure government agencies – the ones that track everything from jobs to air quality – into producing data to support whatever he wants to believe?

If Trump won’t draw the line, Congress should.

Two recent cases suggest where things might be headed. Trump’s officials have considered changing the way they calculate foreign-trade balances, turning some surpluses into deficits and bolstering the president’s case for tearing up free-trade deals. In another, the administration instructed its economists to forecast U.S. growth rates a full percentage point higher than consensus estimates – an alteration that, if included in Trump’s final budget proposal, would mask the effect of his tax cuts and spending plans on the nation’s finances. To be sure, lying with statistics is a time-honored tradition. But the character of the changes being considered, together with Trump’s record of fudging everything from TV ratings to his own net worth, suggests a willingness to go further than his predecessors.

And the more the administration adopts unrealistic goals, the more reason it will have to keep on tampering, so it can claim all is going according to plan.

The president has a lot of power to mess with government statistics. Some laws and rules seek to protect the integrity of federal indicators, including the monthly jobs report and international trade data. But they don’t cover a lot of data that some agencies publish at their own discretion, such as the air quality statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency. Also, they don’t necessarily prevent Trump’s political appointees from eliminating indicators or changing the way they are calculated.

The damage could be great. Businesses rely on government data to spot trends in the economy and make investment and hiring decisions. Economists and elected officials need reliable figures to assess the effects of policies. Any tampering would sharply increase uncertainty and costs – and, by the way, weigh heavily on the country’s international standing (as Argentina’s experience with juking its inflation statistics shows).

So what can Congress do? At a minimum, it must reject any budget or trade proposals founded on demonstrably fake numbers. In addition, it should demand assurances from Trump appointees – particularly to institutions such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, where the commissioner’s term recently expired – that they will maintain the highest standards of impartiality. Third, it must ensure that the statistical agencies get the budgetary resources they need to do their jobs.

The U.S. government produces some of the best and most complete data in the world -- information that helps the economy work well. Trustworthy statistics are a vital national asset. Congress, take note.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Walkup will reduce Nunda supervisor pay

Something must be done

Miller is most qualified

To the Editor: Should anyone be paid a full-time salary for a part-time job?

The Nunda Township supervisor is paid $75,000 a year for a job that should take no more than a few hours a week if limited to what is mandated by state law. Instead, the Nunda supervisor creates more work projects to justify the bloated pay and pretends to work full time.

Not only that, but he voted himself a pay raise each year for the next four years.

This is one of the reasons for our high property taxes.

There are three candidates running for township supervisor in Nunda at the primary election on Feb. 28. I am the only candidate who has pledged to reduce the supervisor’s pay to no more than $21,000 and eliminate some staff and overhead. Part-time pay for a part-time job. Please vote for Michael Walkup for Nunda supervisor.

To the Editor: I am running for McHenry Township clerk. This summer, after receiving my real estate tax bill, I decided something had to be done.

I decided to pay my taxes in singles.

The first payment made on June 13, 2016, amounted to $5,734.18.

I decided much more had to be done to increase awareness of this problem with taxes. I was nominated by the Republican Party as McHenry Township clerk. The election will be on April 4.

I am doing this not only for myself but for all the people in McHenry County, the township and the people of Illinois.

My team consists of trustees Mike Rakestraw, Bill Cunningham, Stan Wojewski, Bob Anderson; Steve Verr, supervisor; Dan Aylward, clerk; and Steve Koerber, highway commissioner.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Northwest Herald for all of your support.

To the Editor: Having worked with several highway commissioners/public works directors in this area, I can categorically state that Bob Miller is the most qualified person running for Algonquin Township highway commissioner.

In addition to his excellent administrative skills, Bob Miller can and does operate all the various township earth-moving and other equipment, and provides on-site supervision when an extra person is unavoidably needed due to a weather or other emergency, a scheduled vacation or unexpected illness.

One wonders whether his opponent has the license and the skills needed to operate the township’s heavy trucks and equipment, or would he have to hire the expertise at further taxpayer expense.

Lastly, when experienced highway commissioners from around the state need help or advice, they call Bob Miller.

The Washington Post

Ed Schultz speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference would have been inconceivable a year ago. But Donald Trump is president now, and his brand of protectionism is having its moment.

On his MSNBC show in 2009, Schultz said “there are parallels” between “some of the things Hitler was saying and some of the things that were at the CPAC convention.” He added, “They are not Americans.” In 2011, per CNN, Schultz called Trump a racist and said “nobody” wanted him to become president.

Schultz now hosts a nightly show on RT, which is a propaganda arm of Russia and funded by the Kremlin. At what for decades has been the signature cattle call on the right, he praised Trump as someone who “is not bought and paid for by anyone.” Then he expounded on what he sees as the horrors of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and North American Free Trade Agreement. Alluding to the intelligence community’s determination that his patrons in Moscow interfered with the presidential election in an effort to boost Trump, Schultz said during an afternoon panel: “Full disclosure: The Russians did not tell Hillary Clinton not to go to Wisconsin. They didn’t tell her not to go to Michigan either.”

No one booed. Instead, heads nodded. The times, they are a changin’.

The Trumpists are triumphant at a conference where not long ago they were viewed as figures of the fringe. Stephen Bannon, as head of Breitbart News, hosted forums outside the CPAC in 2013 and 2014 called “The Uninvited.”

Intended as counter-programming, he brought in guests with very controversial views about Islam and immigration that could never get speaking slots at the main conference.

Now, the White House chief strategist and intellectual force behind Trump’s agenda, Bannon got a rock star’s reception when he arrived Thursday. “I think one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history was his immediate withdrawal from TPP,” Bannon said, referring to the president. “It got us out of a trade deal and let our sovereignty come back to ourselves!”

Bannon threw around terms such as “globalist” and “corporatist” as he touted Trump’s “economic nationalist agenda.” Rolling back trade deals, he explained, is part of a broader push toward “the deconstruction of the administrative state.”

Reince Priebus, who viewed Trump anxiously when he announced his candidacy two years ago but is now White House chief of staff, told the crowd that The Donald will be “one of the greatest presidents that ever served this country.” Channeling his boss, he said the president has already “put in the best Cabinet in the history of cabinets.” Then he led the crowd in chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump.”

They are all Trumpists now ...

• Forty years ago this month, speaking at the same conference, Ronald Reagan offered a searing critique of Marxist-Leninism that could be read today as an indictment of Trumpism.

“All the facts of the real world have to be fitted to the Procrustean bed of Marx and Lenin,” he explained. “If the facts don’t happen to fit the ideology, the facts are chopped off and discarded. I consider this to be the complete opposite to principled conservatism. When a conservative states the free market is the best mechanism ever devised by the mind of man to meet material needs, he is merely stating what a careful examination of the real world has told him is the truth. When a conservative says that totalitarian communism is an absolute enemy of human freedom, he is not theorizing. He is reporting the ugly reality captured so unforgettably in the writings of Alexander Solzhenitsyn.”

Reagan’s 1977 CPAC speech remains one of the most important political addresses he ever delivered. Fresh off his loss to Gerald Ford in the Republican primaries, and Jimmy Carter’s victory in the general, the former California governor went on to presciently outline a vision for “A New Republican Party” that would unite fiscal, social and national security conservatives in common cause. His clarion call helped win him his party’s nomination in 1980, ushered in the first political realignment since Franklin Roosevelt and allowed the GOP to win five of the next seven presidential elections.

• Alas, the Reagan era is over. And if you needed another data point that the Party of Reagan has been hijacked, this week’s “conservative” confab offers many. Reagan embraced freedom in all of its forms – from the aspirations of Eastern Europeans looking to throw off the yoke of their Russian overlords to open markets and, to a lesser degree, open borders.

It’s always fraught to speculate on what a historical figure, who died 13 years ago, would say about current events. But based on a decade of closely studying the 40th president, including countless hours reviewing his archives, it seems safe to stipulate the following: Reagan would frown upon the dark portrait that Trump paints of his shining city upon a hill. He would be disturbed by his protectionist and isolationist rhetoric. And he would be aghast at the 45th president repeatedly drawing false moral equivalency between the U.S. and Russia.

Reagan would never have suggested that Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent who presides over an authoritarian regime, is a stronger leader than Barack Obama. Among the many words Trump says that would never have come out of Reagan’s mouth: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent?”

But it’s much more than that: The Reagan Revolution was always more about ideas than a cult of personality built around a single man.

Fibrates may be better than statins Dear Doctor: My friends and I are all getting older, and I’ve noticed that some of them are on statins to lower their cholesterol. My doctor chose a fibrate for me, Lopid (gemfibrozil). What’s the difference between statins and fibrates, and what’s special about Lopid?

Dear Reader: Statins and fibrates act in fundamentally different ways. Statins, more officially known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, target cholesterol in the bloodstream, most of which comes from the liver, not from foods that we eat. They work by binding to the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which the liver needs to form cholesterol.

Statins act in another way as well. Because they make cholesterol levels fall within the liver, the liver then increases production of a substance, or receptor, that takes LDL, the so-called “bad” cholesterol, from the bloodstream and shepherds it back into the liver. There, it is eventually removed via the bile. Because we make more cholesterol at night, statins are given before bedtime.

Fibrates, which include gemfibrozil (Lopid) and fenofibrate, target triglycerides in the bloodstream. They work by decreasing the liver’s release of triglycerides and by increasing the production of lipoprotein lipase, which breaks down triglycerides. In addition, fibrates increase the formation of HDL, the so-called “good” cholesterol; they have only minor effects in reducing LDL. Unlike statins, fibrates should be taken before eating.

Statins have undeniably shown benefits in decreasing the risk of both heart attacks and strokes; fibrates seem to have a more narrow benefit. In 2010, a Lancet review analysis of 18 studies involving more than 45,000 patients showed a 13 percent decrease in heart attacks and angina among people who were taking fibrates, but no reduction in stroke risk, no decrease in overall death rates and no decrease in death rates from

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley heart attacks.

A 1987 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine also showed mixed results. It followed more than 4,000 middle-aged men with elevated triglyceride levels for five years. At the start of the study, one group began using gemfibrozil, and the other group began taking a placebo. At the end of the study, the group that took gemfibrozil had a 34 percent decrease in the risk of coronary heart disease, but there was no difference in the death rate.

Overall, statins appear to have greater benefit than fibrates in decreasing the risk of both heart attacks and strokes. That’s not to say fibrates aren’t the right choice for some people, however. Significant elevation of triglycerides, greater than 400, can cause inflammation of the pancreas, so people with very elevated triglyceride levels would benefit from a fibrate medication. So too might those with elevated triglycerides and normal LDL cholesterols.

Before you suggest combining a statin and a fibrate for added benefit, be aware that the combination can increase the risk of muscle aches and possible muscle breakdown. On occasion, I will prescribe this combination to my patients with very elevated triglycerides, but I monitor them carefully for any signs of muscular problems or breakdown. Also in such cases, I try to lower the statin dose to decrease the chance of muscular symptoms.

makes sense that you are afraid of being hurt or taken advantage of. However, not all people are alike. Allow the relationship more time to develop. Don’t be afraid to talk things out with him rather than react by jumping to conclusions and/or making accusations. Listen to what he says and watch what he does. If the two don’t match, regard it as a red flag. However, if they do match, then count your blessings because you may have finally found a winner.

Dear Abby: For years, I’ve gone to a neighborhood bar every Friday night for a few hours during cocktail hour. I have recently started using oxygen due to COPD from smoking. My doctor says I can do anything I feel I’m up to.

Well, I’m up to going out to the bar like I used to do. Trouble is, I’m self-conscious about the carrier. It doesn’t bother me to go out to stores, etc., but this does. Should I stay home, bored out of my mind, or get on with the life I used to have? – Wants To Get On With Life Dear Wants: Your doctor has said you can do what you want. I see nothing to be gained by sitting home alone and becoming depressed.

My only concern is that the bar you frequent may be smoky and be problematic for your already-damaged lungs. If the bar is smoke-free, go. But if it isn’t, then I’m suggesting you find one that is.

friends and family, asking if they know of a day care that’s good, then make sure that any facility you’re considering is licensed. Spend a little time there to see how the caregivers interact with the children. Go to babycenter.com and search on “daycare.” You will find a section on day care centers that will give you the information you need. You should also check with your state’s department of social services to be sure no complaints have been filed. I wish you luck in your search.

Dear Abby: Over the years, the people closest to me (immediate family, friends and a few ex-boyfriends) have given me every reason not to trust anyone much. About a year ago, I found the courage to date again and met a man who gives me every reason to trust him to the fullest. The problem is, because of my past, I’m having problems doing it.

McHenry County area breaking news, After East preferred to open one entertainment news, feature stories and more! heart, South overcalled three spades @NWHerald to show a good seven-card suit and some 5-9 high-card points. North bid game, hoping for the best.

West leads the heart queen. East might overtake this, cash the heart ace and continue with the heart 10, hoping West can gain a trump promotion. But South ruffs high and plays a spade to the jack. Declarer ruffs the next heart high, draws trumps and claims, discarding his diamond loser on dummy’s third club.

Alternatively, East lets his partner take the first two tricks, then West shifts to the diamond jack. South, realizing that the finesse is doomed, wins with dummy’s ace and immediately takes the club winners to sluff his second diamond. Then he concedes one trump trick.

Richmond-Burton coach Brandon Creason’s team hosts a Class 3A regional that consists entirely of Kishwaukee River Conference teams.

R-B coach Creason thrilled to host regional

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

I

n the past four years, Richmond-Burton boys basketball coach Brandon Creason struggled with much knowledge of opponents before entering the postseason series.

Creason even had trouble with school names.

“I’m usually playing somebody … Austin Polytechnic Disney Co-op …

I don’t know,” Creason said.

It sounded like a made-up name, but it was not. Well, not totally.

Perhaps Creason added the Disney for his young children, Kellen and Vivian, but the Rockets really did play Chicago Austin Polytechnic Co-op in the Class 3A Lakes Regional two years ago. In 2013, they played Chicago Aspira Charter/Early College in the first round. In its past four regionals, R-B has seen one local team

“It’s certainly different than where we’ve been in a sectional going east and I’ve never heard of three-fourths of the teams.”

Brandon Creason

Richmond-Burton boys basketball coach (Johnsburg at North Chicago last year).

The Class 3A R-B Regional that tips off Monday in Lou Ramirez Gymnasium will look drastically different for R-B, with six teams from the Kishwaukee River Conference. Only KRC champion Burlington Central, which plays in the Marmion Regional in Aurora, will be missing.

“It’s certainly different than where we’ve been in a sectional going east

and I’ve never heard of three-fourths of the teams,” Creason said. “It’s weird to know the teams and coaches.

It’s certainly much easier to scout this way.”

Marengo is the No. 2 seed in Sub-Sectional B of the Genoa-Kingston Sectional, and R-B is No. 3. They are the top-seeded teams in the regional.

Woodstock meets Woodstock North at 6 p.m. in Monday’s opener, with Johnsburg facing Harvard at 7:30.

Marengo and R-B face the winners of those games in Tuesday’s semifinals.

Marengo finished the regular season against R-B and Woodstock, two teams it could face again this week if the seeds hold true.

“I didn’t know how the seeds were going to fall, if Belvidere would sneak ahead of Marian (Central) or Marian would go the other way (to Rochelle

Illinois hits 7 of 8 from beyond arc to open 2nd half The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LINCOLN, Neb. – Malcolm Hill scored 19 points, and Illinois went on a 3-point shooting spree in the second half in a 73-57 victory over Nebraska on Sunday.

Tracy Abrams added 13 points, and Maverick Morgan had 12 for the Illini (17-12, 7-9), who won their third straight road game and for the fourth time in five games overall.

Tai Webster had 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists to lead the Cornhuskers (12-16, 6-10).

The Illini, who came into the game 12th in the Big Ten in 3-point shooting in conference games (32.9 percent) made seven of their first eight 3s of the second half to go up 61-44 with 9:15 to play. They finished 13 of 26 from beyond the arc.

The Huskers are last in the Big Ten in 3-point defense in conference games (41.3 percent).

Hill scored 14 of his 19 points after half. He and Abrams each made four 3-pointers.

Illinois led, 30-28, at halftime, and Abrams and Hill hit a couple 3s during a 10-3 spurt that gave the Illini a seven-point lead. Jalen Coleman-Lands’ 3 pushed the lead to 47-37 with 13:41 to play, and the Huskers never got closer.

“I like the way it worked out for us, getting the No. 2, you can see the whole second game if you win.”

Marengo and R-B split their two KRC games and tied for second place in the KRC, one game behind Burlington.

“That would be an exciting game if we got to see [Marengo] again,” R-B guard Blaine Bayer said. “We beat them by about 10, and they beat us about 10.”

Even with the familiarity, Creason takes nothing for granted this week.

“That (rematch with Marengo) is a long way away,” he said. “I’m not going to sleep until midMarch.”

Class 4A: Jacobs (26-1) has won 11 consecutive games and is the top seed in Sub-Sectional A of the Elgin Sectional. Boylan received the top seed in Sub-Sectional B. Jacobs, a regional host, survived its closest game of the season Tuesday against McHenry, 42-41, which could be a good thing for the Golden Eagles heading into the tournament. From the start of the season, Jacobs had its sights set on a sectional championship, which would be the first in school history.

“We’re at home, which is obviously a positive,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “Good draws, bad draws, I don’t think there really is such a thing because you can go home at any time. You’ve got to be ready to go every single night.”

Prairie Ridge received the No. 3 seed in Sub-Sectional A and plays at the Larkin Regional. The Wolves lost leading scorer Kyle Loeding to a knee injury but still have played well and finished a game behind Jacobs in the Fox Valley Conference.

Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card likes what his team brings to the postseason.

“We’re in a good spot,” he said.

“We have a pretty good plan about what we need to do to move on, and the kids are making plays. It doesn’t matter now. One (loss) and you’re done. Find a way to survive and advance.”

Hawks win, shrug off Wild trade

By MARK LAZERUS

BLACKHAWKS 4, BLUES 2

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Shortly before the puck dropped between the Blackhawks and Blues on Sunday night, reports spread that the first-place Minnesota Wild had acquired Martin Hanzal, one of the top centers on the trade market, to load up for the playoffs.

The Hawks hadn’t heard. But when they found out afterward, they didn’t sound terribly concerned. After all, Hawks general manager Stan Bowman always says he doesn’t make trades in response to other teams’ moves. And the way the Hawks have been playing lately, he might not need to.

Artem Anisimov scored off an Artemi Panarin feed with 5:20 left in the game to give the Hawks a gritty 4-2 victory over St. Louis. The win – the Hawks’ fourth straight and ninth in their past 10 games – moved them to within one point of the Wild, who are on their bye week and have three games in hand. The Hawks are playing their best hockey of the season, if not since the 2015 Stanley Cup run.

“A lot of teams are going to make pushes for the playoffs, and acquiring some last-minute additions or players they think will bolster their lineups is always a part of that,” Jonathan Toews said. “I love our group right now. Everyone’s getting better individually, everybody’s contributing more, and it’s a lot of fun to see the way we’re playing right now. We know the ceiling is way higher, and we can keep getting better, too.”

Even without Corey Crawford (sick) and Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper-body injury), the Hawks kept rolling. Toews

Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov (center) celebrates his third-period goal against the St. Louis Blues with right wing Patrick Kane on Sunday at the United Center. and Patrick Kane each had a goal and an assist, and Scott Darling made 30 saves – including three absolute robberies of Paul Stastny – in the spot start. He got a little help from his friends at the end, too, as Ryan Hartman made a diving block in the dying seconds to preserve a one-goal lead before Tanner Kero’s empty-netter sealed the victory.

“I flinch sometimes and I’ve got all

the pads on,” Darling said. “These guys are warriors, laying out in front of pucks like that. Especially at a crucial point in the game like that. It was a huge play, and as a goalie, you love that.”

Before the game, Toews compared Nick Schmaltz to Kane and Richard Panik to Marian Hossa. Hyperbole? Perhaps.

But they’ve been playing like it lately, and they stayed red hot on Sunday,

combining on the first goal of the game.

Schmaltz fired a pass between Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson’s skates to find Toews, who made a nice move to beat Jake Allen for the 1-0 lead.

Toews, who added an assist later, has nine goals and 14 assists in his past 14 games. Panik has six goals and nine assists in those 14 games, and Schmaltz has three goals and seven assists in his past eight games.

“That line’s been playing amazing,” Kane said.

Kane has been lighting it up lately, too, and he scored his ninth goal in 10 games, snapping a shot past Allen after executing a give-and-go with Toews.

Duncan Keith had the secondary assist on the goal, giving him 500 points in his career.

But a Trevor van Riemsdyk turnover in his own zone led directly to a Magnus Paajarvi goal at 16:54 of the first, and Alex Pietrangelo beat Darling from the slot on a second-period power play to tie it at 2-all.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Renteria’s player ‘presentations’ keep Sox laughing

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – What goes on in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse, but the walls of the White Sox’ locker room at Camelback Ranch can’t hold the laughter inside.

Team meetings have featured a variety of “presentations” from mostly younger players, arranged by first-year manager Rick Renteria to keep things loose, get prospects to bond with veterans and, in general, to promote a tight bond.

“It’s entertaining,” closer David Robertson said without offering much de-

tail. “And it’s a good chance to get these guys out of their comfort zone by forcing them to do something they don’t want to do. It helps them open up and feel like they’re part of the team.”

There was a WWE wrestling show and alma mater themes. Nebraska Cornhuskers Dan Jennings, Cody Asche and Aaron Bummer had their own special moment.

Miami Hurricane Zack Collins, the Sox’ first-round draft choice last June, is up Monday.

“I’ll probably be more nervous [doing that] than I will playing,’’ Collins said.

Last year, the Sox had Drake LaRoche drama.

This kind is much better.

“I understand what he’s trying to do,’’ veteran Todd Frazier said. “We have good stuff going on in the morning to break up the grind. The meetings have been fun.”

All of this is not unique to spring training.

Rockies manager Bud Black, whom Renteria served under as a bench coach with the Padres, is taking it to a high level in camp this year. Mike Scioscia and Joe Maddon have their own tricks and methods.

“They are getting to know each other,” Renteria said. “They are getting to connect in different ways. But that’s

what anybody does. You just try to help your club bond, get to know each other as quickly as possible and then they go out there and play.”

The days of when veterans big-timed the rookies and prospects are fading away.

“In this camp there is no shying away,” said Nate Jones, the longest tenured Sox. “You cannot just go about your day doing your thing. He’s getting everyone involved, and the cool thing is the young guys feel comfortable coming over asking questions. The guys who have been around a bit are willing to share information because we’ve been there and done that.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Cubs, Indians play to tie in first meeting since Game 7 of Series

By BRUCE MILES

Cubs manager Joe Maddon talks to his players during a spring training practice Friday in Mesa, Ariz.

“It’s such a fast winter, man,” Maddon said. “It’s fast and furious. Sitting in the dugout (Saturday), kind of awkward because you played late, but still you go through that spring training moment where you’ve got to get your mind working a method that you normally utilize. I was talking to Jonesy (thirdbase coach Gary Jones) about it because when I used to coach third base, you’d get to spring training and it was like you never coached third base before.

“It’s just weird how we react. That’s why spring training, all the little things

that we do that sometimes are redundant sometimes also players frown upon because they’re major league players. I’ve always kind of gotten a kick out of that because as a coach and a manager, we analyze this much more than a player ever does. We need it. We need it every camp.”

Many Cubs have no doubt watched replays of the World Series games, as well as the documentary, over and over again. Not Maddon.

CUBS NOTES

Maddon: Large spring crowds should benefit Cubs

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Cubs players made much of the sellout crowd and the festive atmosphere at Sloan Park for Saturday’s Cactus League opener.

The Cubs likely will play before sellout crowds all spring at Sloan, and manager Joe Maddon said that can put the players into a competitive frame of mind entering the regular season.

“This place has such a regular-season or major-league ballpark representation that it should help you mentally get in that right spot,” Maddon said. “Even at the end of our camp, we go to play Houston in a real ballpark, and I like that. I like that a lot, too.

“If you just come off throwing the

last pitch of a World Series and still come back here a couple months later and get that rush, I think that’s outstanding. That’s just how this game works. This facility, this everything, gets you ready or gets you going.”

The Cubs finish the exhibition season Jason with a pair of games Heyward against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park before they head to St. Louis to begin the regular season in April.

“I like those two games in Houston,” Maddon said. “We’ll go play St. Louis, and we’ll all be throw-up nervous before the game, but after that,

by the first or second inning, you’re fine. It’s all part of the ritual on an annual basis.”

Sizing up the swing: Maddon said he likes what he sees so far of right fielder Jason Heyward’s revamped swing after he struggled at the plate last season.

“Beautiful, absolutely beautiful,” the manager said. “I loved the first atbat, first pitch (Saturday). He stayed inside the ball well. It just looks freer, something that I really believe is going to work. Just talking to him, I can just tell on his face how comfortable he is with it.

“It’s like a little bit of a new toy, but he knows the toy has a lot of potential benefit to it. I really like watching what he’s doing. I watched his BP (bat-

ting practice) yesterday. It was real clean. I think there’s a pretty good year out there for him.”

Plans for the rotation: The Cubs’ top four starting pitchers probably will start seeing game action by the weekend. Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks and John Lackey are being eased into action after last year’s long season.

Maddon seems almost ready to announce his starter for the regular-season opener, April 2.

“I haven’t discussed that with him yet,” Maddon said. “I’ve got to do that.

I’m really bad as a manager in regards to remembering to talk to an Opening Day starter and tell him that so I can tell you guys. I’ve been consistently bad at that for years.”

• Monday, February 27, 2017

MESA, Ariz. – The running joke around Cubs camp this past weekend was that Game 8 of the World Series happened Sunday.

The Cleveland Indians traveled across the Valley of the Sun to meet the Cubs at Sloan Park. These two teams previously met Nov. 2 under more serious circumstances – serious as in Game 7 of the World Series.

You might remember the Cubs rallied from a three-games-to-one deficit and recovered from a late-inning disaster at Progressive Field in Cleveland to win their first World Series since 1908.

In mock seriousness, Cubs manager Joe Maddon would not discuss “Game 8” on Saturday, saying the Cubs had a pair of split-squad games to play.

The embargo was lifted Sunday.

“It’s here; it’s upon us,” Maddon said. “The lineups are a little bit different than at the end of the season. Really, it’s just another spring training game.”

That it was.

The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

With the World Series having gone until Nov. 2, the Cubs and Indians found themselves back at work in the blink of an eye.

with the Angels. I didn’t do that with the Rays. I probably will a couple years from now. But for right now, I’m pretty good. I prefer reruns – of TV shows.”

“First memory, groundball to third,” he said of the final play of Game 7, the grounder to Kris Bryant. “That’s about it. It really boils down to that. Down 3-1 (in games) was pretty significant. I think KB’s home run to left-center (in Game 5) was large. The home run to left-center, groundball to third probably are the two things.”

The Cubs are out to defend their title this season. They won last year with a roster full of young players.

For Maddon, that experience can be only beneficial to those players.

“Yes, all the guys that participated, what it could do to a C.J. (Carl Edwards Jr.), what it could do (Mike) Montgomery, all these guys, (Willson) Contreras.

They all played.

“Like I’ve always talked about, a mind once stretched has a difficult time going back to its original form. I think it’s a classic example of that. Having been through that moment, the next time you get even close to that, it’s just different. You’ve been there, done that.

I don’t mean in complacent method. It’s just a matter that mentally you can handle that situation.

“More than anything, I like the idea that all these guys, the whole group is pretty young. What we were able to accomplish last year is pretty special. It should carry over.”

6 NASCAR MONSTER ENERGY CUP: DAYTONA 500

Kurt Busch steals monster victory

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Decked in Monster gear and chugging a tall boy of the energy drink as he was flanked by scantily clad models and one of pro sports’ top partiers, Kurt Busch celebrated the biggest win of his racing career.

It was Monster Madness!

Busch used a last-lap pass to win the crash-filled Daytona 500 on Sunday in the opening race of Monster Energy’s new role as title sponsor of NASCAR’s top series. Busch, it just so happens, also is sponsored by Monster, and the company has stood by him through his rocky career.

So this was a victory of redemption for Busch, who was suspended by NASCAR two days before the 2015 Daytona 500 for his off-track behavior, and for Monster, which has promised to pump new life into NASCAR’s sagging sport.

“I’ve had a lot of people that have believed in me through the years, a lot of people that have supported me,” Busch said.

Add NFL star Rob Gronkowski to Busch’s bandwagon, too.

Gronkowski celebrated with Busch and the Monster girls in victory lane.

He raved about the win and seemed to really enjoy his first Daytona 500.

“Monster’s the best!” Gronk shouted to The Associated Press. “We picked Kurt to win and he won ‘cause he’s a Monster guy. It was awesome. ... I love being part of Monster, love being here with Monster. Kurt did an awesome job today. Monster killed that race.”

Gronk and Busch likely will celebrate

Kurt Busch (left) celebrates in victory lane with the New England Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski after winning the Daytona 500 on Sunday in Daytona Beach, Fla. late into the night, well after the bangedup No. 41 Ford heads to the museum for its yearlong display at Daytona International Speedway.

“The more that becomes unpredictable about Daytona, the more it becomes predictable to predict unpredictability,” Busch said. “This car’s completely thrashed. There’s not a straight panel on

it. The strategy today, who knew what to pit when, what segments were what.

Everybody’s wrecking as soon as we’re done with the second segment.

“The more that I’ve run this race, the more that I just throw caution to the wind, let it rip and just elbows out.

That’s what we did.”

It wasn’t NASCAR’s finest moment,

however, as multiple accidents pared the field and had a mismatched group of drivers racing for the win at the end.

It appeared to be pole-sitter Chase Elliott’s race to lose, then he ran out of gas. So did Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr., Paul Menard and Kasey Kahne. As they all slipped off the pace, Busch sailed through for his first career Daytona 500 victory in 16 tries.

It also was the first Daytona 500 win for Stewart-Haas Racing, which is coowned by Tony Stewart. The three-time champion retired at the end of last season and watched his four cars race from the pits.

“I ran this [darn] race (17) years and couldn’t win it, so finally won it as an owner,” Stewart said. “It’s probably the most patient race I’ve ever watched Kurt Busch run. He definitely deserved that one for sure.”

It was a crushing defeat for Elliott, who is developing a reputation as a driver unable to immediately digest defeat.

He left the track without comment in a car driven by his father, Hall of Famer Bill Elliott.

Ryan Blaney finished second in a Ford. AJ Allmendinger was third in a Chevrolet, and Aric Almirola was fourth for Richard Petty Motorsports.

The first points race of the Monster era was run under a new format that split the 500 miles into three stages. Kyle Busch won the first stage, Kevin Harvick won the second stage and neither was a contender for the win. NASCAR also this year passed a rule that gave teams only five minutes to repair any damage on their cars or they were forced to retire.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Fowler struggles, hangs on to win Honda Classic The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fowler effectively ended it with a shot over the water to 3 feet that stretched his lead to five shots with two holes to play.

Woodland appeared to have second place wrapped up until he three-putted the 17th and then tried to lay up on the par-5 18th and came up short into the water. He closed with another bogey for a 69. He had to share second place – the difference of $128,000 – with Morgan Hoffmann, who missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th and setted for a 68.

Fowler finished at 12-under 268. He had gone 13 months and 25 starts worldwide without a victory.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Rickie Fowler made it interesting Sunday for as long as it took him to make two big putts to pull away in the Honda Classic.

Staked to a four-shot lead, Fowler hit one putt into a sprinkler hole, hit a tee shot into the water and watched a big lead shrink to one over Gary Woodland early on the back nine. Fowler answered with consecutive birdie putts of 40 and 25 feet and closed with a 1-over-par 71 for a four-shot victory.

LOS ANGELES – Ezra Edelman’s nearly eight-hour meditation on O.J. Simpson and the culture of race relations in the United States “O.J.: Made in America” emerged as the winner of an unusually strong and even thematically similar best documentary category. In his acceptance speech Sunday Edelman dedicated his award to the late Ron Goldman, Nicole Brown and their families.

“This is also for other victims, victims of police violence, police brutality,” Edelman said. “This is their story, as it is Ron and Nicole’s.”

Edelman accepted alongside producer Caroline Waterlow.

Clocking in at 467 minutes, “O.J.: Made in America” is also the longest-ever Oscar winner. The previous longest was “War and Peace,” the foreign language winner from 1969, which was 431 minutes long.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Kings have decided to make their postseason push with two dependable veteran goalies sharing the crease. Los Angeles acquired Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday in a trade including goalie Peter Budaj and an exchange of draft picks.

The Kings will pair Bishop with Jonathan Quick in a formidable tandem down the stretch as they try to make the playoffs.

Los Angeles (30-27-4) is points behind St. Louis for the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference.

After a slow start to his NHL career in St. Louis and Ottawa, the 6-foot-7 Bishop has been an above-average starter for the past four seasons in Tampa Bay. He backstopped the Lightning to the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Blackhawks.
