After fight with driver, Uber CEO promises to ‘grow up’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS Uber’s CEO is known for battling with critics and local governments, but a video of an argument with one of his own drivers has him pledging to change his ways.

In the dashcam video obtained by Bloomberg News, CEO Travis Kalanick is seen discussing Uber’s business model with driver Fawzi Kamel. The driver argues that Kalanick is lowering fares and claims he lost $97,000 because of it. “I’m bankrupt because of you.”

After the video went public, Kalanick issued a statement to Uber employees. In it, he apologized to Kamel, as well as Uber’s drivers.

“This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it,” he said, adding that he needs to “grow up.”

The outburst, reportedly from early in February, is the latest in a string of problems for Kalanick and his company, which has become a global ride-hailing giant largely by

challenging laws and authorities. Among the issues: charges of sexual harassment from a former employee, allegations it stole self-driving technology from Google, and a controversy tied to President Donald Trump’s travel ban.

The string of bad publicity has to have drivers and riders rethinking whether they want to drive for Uber or switch to a competitor, said Daniel Korschun, an associate professor of marketing at Drexel University.

Drivers, he said, already had a rocky relationship with the company over pricing and whether they are considered employees or contractors.

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – In the evening hours of April 15, 2016, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Urgo and Sgt. Anthony Penna were on the hunt for a double-murder suspect who authorities said stole a vehicle in Florida and reportedly was somewhere in the county.

The two officers, along with two Lake County Sheriff’s deputies, had

been told by Kentucky detectives about the suspect – who later was identified as Gerald Boyes Jr. – and their search began.

Boyes was seen at a bar in McHenry County, and officers followed him through the county into Lake County before he parked at an Antioch pub.

The four officers came up with a plan to confront and arrest Boyes, and Urgo placed his squad car behind the parked car so that it was unable to go anywhere because cars were on either

side of the parking spot, giving them a “target of opportunity.”

Officers walked up to the car, saw Boyes – the man who had reportedly stolen a vehicle from Florida after he killed his father, Gerald Boyes Sr., and his companion from Paducah, Kentucky, Billie Potter – in the driver’s seat, Penna said. An arrest warrant also was out for Boyes for a parole violation in Florida.

Officers told Boyes he was under arrest, but “he wanted to go for a hand-

gun,” Penna said.

“A couple of us said ‘gun,’ and shots were fired,” he said.

All four deputies fired, and Boyes was killed. Boyes shot himself in the head during the incident, but autopsy results were inconclusive in determining whether it was the self-inflicted wound that killed him, Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Orlando Portillo has said.

Illinois Senate cancels budget votes; leader blames Rauner

By JOHN O’CONNOR and KIANNAH SEPEDA-MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Senate’s top Democrat abruptly canceled critical votes Wednesday on a plan to end the state’s historic budget stalemate, accusing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner of sabotaging a compromise that had been months in the making.

After voting was called off, local lawmakers gave their thoughts on the continued budget stalemate.

“The good news is negotiations to craft a balanced budget are proceeding,” said Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry. “The more disheartening news is it’s proving to be a lot more difficult than what was originally anticipated by many.”

“We want to ensure that whatever grand bargain is agreed to is in the best interest of the taxpayer,” Althoff added.

Sen. Dan McConchie, R-Hawthorn Woods, said although he believes there still is an opportunity to try to negotiate a better deal for taxpayers, there might be a ways to go.

“I think the package as it had been outlined was not a good deal for taxpayers,” McConchie said. “Taxpayers give up a lot in regards to billions of dollars more for the state and got very little in return. ... So I think the fact that this has not advanced at this point is a good thing for taxpayers.”

Senate President John Cullerton of Chicago ditched his earlier vow to call votes on key parts of the so-called “grand bargain,” including an income-tax in-

crease and property tax-freeze. After the Senate clocked out, Cullerton questioned the first-term governor’s sincerity in meeting legislative Democrats half way to end the nation’s longest budget stalemate in nearly a century.

“He’s got to grow up,” Cullerton said about Rauner.

Cullerton had promised votes on the toughest aspects of the sprawling compromise plan he’s engineered since before the new year with Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont. They had boasted that neither the House nor Rauner was involved; Rauner insisted he was on the sidelines.

Democrats and Republicans spent most of the day in private meetings.

When they regrouped on the floor late in the afternoon, Cullerton tersely claimed Rauner had hijacked the plan.

“The governor injected himself into the process and doesn’t want this approved in this form,” Cullerton said before the Senate adjourned for the day without taking action on the plan. “The situation is not getting any better. We need to work together to solve this. I had hoped it would be today.”

Cullerton didn’t rule out salvaging parts of the deal, but added, “Unfortunately, we are in a holding pattern.”

Top Senate Republicans dismissed the idea that Rauner called them off “aye” votes. Deputy Republican Leader Bill Brady of Bloomington reiterated one of Rauner’s main complaints in recent days that the GOP won’t accept a permanent income-tax increase if Democrats insist on limiting their cherished

local property tax freeze to two years.

“More work is needed to achieve a good deal for taxpayers,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said.

“We encourage senators to keep working.”

Rauner and Democrats who control the General Assembly have bickered for two years over how to tackle a multibillion-dollar deficit. Rauner won’t agree to an income-tax hike until he gets pro-business regulatory changes, a permanent property tax freeze, and term limits on political leaders.

Cullerton and Radogno raised expectations for a breakthrough just after the new year with promises to quickly approve a package that raised revenue and met Rauner’s demands. But all they have to show for it are Tuesday votes approving less-contentious measures to streamline state-government purchasing, ease rules on how cities may spend tax revenue and simplify the way voters consolidate local governments. Even those were adopted mostly with Democratic votes.

In remarks on the floor, Radogno didn’t dispute Cullerton’s assertion about Rauner’s involvement but urged continued work.

“I have no question in my mind that we’re going to bring this thing in for a landing,” Radogno said. “There’s enough good will in this building. I know the governor will be joining us in trying to get that done.”

Crystal Lake principal is finalist for nonprofit’s leadership award

By HANNAH PROKOP

• ASH WEDNESDAY

Continued from page A4 Self-reflection is a major component of the ceremony, he added.

“I think it’s important to every once in a while be honest with yourself,” he said. “It’s so easy to get caught up in routine.”

While some believers opt to fast or cut out certain pleasures during the 40 days of Lent, congregation member Marilyn McGuire said she wanted to instead add something to her faith life.

“I am going to try to be more connected with others,” she said.

“We live such busy lives, the focus is going to be on making sure I make connections, build relationships up and share what I learn in my faith with people.”

Golden Apple, a nonprofit that celebrates and develops teachers who make life-changing difference in the lives of students, also is recognizing one exemplary Jeff Prickett pre-K through 12thgrade teacher with the Stanley C. Golder Leadership Award, according to its website. Jeff Prickett, principal at Richard Bernotas Middle School in Crystal Lake, is among the 10 finalists for that award.

A celebration of the finalists will be held Saturday in Rosemont, according to the news release. Finalists will go through a final round of reviews and classroom observations before the 10 award recipients are announced in the spring.

Award recipients get a tuition-free spring quarter sabbatical to study at Northwestern University, $5,000 cash and become Fellows of the Golden Apple Academy of Educators, according to the release.

McGuire added that it is important to her to mark the season because it is a time to reflect upon herself and her mistakes as she looks forward to the renewal that Easter represents.

Fellow congregation member Linda Ticknor said she agreed.

“This is a huge time of reflection for me,” she said. “It’s like a reset button. … It’s good to be here to do it and have the pastor serve us the way that he did.”

Pastor Greg Lucas dispenses ashes Wednesday on each parishioner’s forehead in the sign of the cross, to remind them that they are mortal and fallible during Ash Wednesday service at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Crystal Lake.

DeVoss Fourth-grade teacher and 15-year veteran at Lotus Elementary School Maureen DeVoss also was chosen as a finalist.

“She makes so many parent connections, and she maintains relationships with them,” Lotus Assistant Principal Natalie Udstuen said. “She’s the kind of teacher who attends high school graduations.”

DeVoss serves as an instructional coach for the school and is at the forefront of any new educational ideas or curriculum models, Udstuen said. DeVoss also is helping to form a mentor program for new teachers.

“She just has so much empathy in her heart for every person that she comes across,” Udstuen said.

One teacher from Fox River Grove Middle School and one from Lotus Elementary School in Spring Grove are among 33 finalists for the Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching.

More than 600 nominations from Chicago-area schools were received, according to a news release from Golden Apple. Finalists represent fourththrough eighth-grade teachers.

Jane Szybowicz, a fifth-grade teacher at Fox River Grove Middle School, is a finalist who stands out because of her leadership in the school, great relationship with parents and dedication to students, Fox River Grove Principal

Eric Runck said.

“She is an ultimate professional,” Runck said. “She not only relates well with students, but under her tutelage, they learn a lot.”

Jane Szybowicz teaches Szybowicz grammar and writing, social studies and math.

This is her 21st year as a fifth-grade teacher, she said.

Szybowicz also puts in time outside of the classroom, including traveling to the University of Oxford for a seminar called the “Age of Lincoln” and two “We the People” seminars, one in Virginia and one in Pennsylvania.

She previously was selected as the 2015 Illinois History Teacher of the Year by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, a nonprofit organization aimed at improving history education.

Szybowicz said she was honored and humbled when she heard about the nomination.

Crystal Lake robotics team wins Sheriff’s Office state, heads to super regionals warns residents

of jury duty scam

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – An all-girl high school robotics team from Crystal Lake won the first place Inspire Award at the FIRST Tech Challenge Illinois Championship last weekend.

As a result, the team, named Fruit Salad, will be one of only nine teams from Illinois competing at the Northern FTC Super Regional Tournament, which will be from March 30 through April 1 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The Inspire Award is given to the team that performs well in all judging categories and is recognized as a model FIRST Tech Challenge team on and off the playing field, according to a news release.

Fruit Salad also won the Inspire Award at the Northern Illinois Regional Qualifier earlier in February, which earned it the trip to the state competition.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a scam in which someone has been calling residents and telling them there is a warrant for their arrest for something such as missing jury duty.

The caller identifies himself or herself as a police officer with the sheriff’s office and tells the person that a warrant has been issued for one or more reasons, such as failing to appear for jury duty, according to a news release.

The caller then directs the resident to another phone number for payment.

The sheriff’s office does not call residents about arrest warrants, and it does not collect money over the phone. Anyone who is unsure about an outstanding arrest warrant can visit their local police department or sheriff’s office, according to the release.

People who have received such a call can report it to the sheriff’s office by calling 815-338-2144.

McHenry County Schools Environmental Education Program director Williams, who said the activities he has planned for the workshop will be simple but effective.

“I will do a lot of activities that will be outside,” he said. “One thing we’ll go over is how to teach the properties of matter to kids. That’s classifying things by their properties, such as by color, their weight or by how long something is.”

Schools interested in receiving the lessons should contact Donato at 815334-4054 or wcdonato@co.mchenry. il.us. All public and private preschools around McHenry County are eligible.

McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association in a statement

• OFFICERS OF THE YEAR Continued from page A3

Urgo and Penna were honored Feb. 21 as Officers of the Year by the McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association for how they handled the incident.

“Sgt. Penna’s and Deputy Urgo’s ability to stop the threat in a high-risk situation is a testament to their law enforcement abilities and professionalism,” the association said in a statement.

Penna, now with 25 years of experience, said he and Urgo are fortunate enough to have been provided with an abundance of training to prepare them for these types of situations. What ended up being one of the most crucial aspects of the incident was that they didn’t rush in trying to arrest Boyes right away.

In addition to the first firearm, a handgun was found in Boyes’ belt and another on the passenger seat.

“Nothing’s ever perfect, but the incident went the way we planned, for the

most part,” Penna said. “It’s an honor to be recognized, but more importantly, we do what we’re trained to do.”

Urgo, with 10 years of experience, said their actions were part of a collaborative effort with law enforcement officers from multiple states and jurisdictions. He said when keeping situations such as this in mind, it’s important for officers, no matter where they are working, to remain vigilant and stay committed to training and safety.

“Thankfully, our training and experience was what allowed us to bring a safe resolution for all of the law enforcement officers involved,” Urgo said. “It’s definitely an award for everybody on the law enforcement side, not just me.”

The other nominees for this year’s award were Algonquin Police Officer Andrew Dykstra, Harvard Police Sgt. Andrew Spielman, Wonder Lake Police Sgt. Lee Redlin and Woodstock Police Officer William Lintner. Officers were picked by their department in the fall, and the nominees are voted on by members of the McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A new grant will allow McHenry County Schools Environmental Education Program staff to give environmental lessons to preschool students and teachers in their classrooms.

The $9,500 grant was awarded to MCSEEP from the McHenry County Community Foundation.

“With this grant, we can give kids a head start learning about nature and environmental science,” MCSEEP director Bill Donato said. “Starting next school year, we’ll have our staff assist with teachers’ lessons. The more experiences we can bring to these younger kids, the better.”

The grant also will fund an educational workshop July 28 for preschool teachers at the McHenry County Conservation District’s Prairieview Education Center in Crystal Lake. The workshop will be led by two environmental educators, including Robert

Streamwood High School students work Jan. 20 to design a micro generator using wind power to light up areas around homeless shelters, at the school in Streamwood. Their wind-powered generator idea won the state competition in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, which encourages teachers and students to solve real-world issues.

Streamwood STEM students engineer winning invention

By MADHU KRISHNAMURTHY The Associated Press

STREAMWOOD – It’s a small generator that could power a small light, but the invention could pay some big dividends for a group of Streamwood High School students.

Their wind-powered generator idea won the state competition in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, which encourages teachers and students to solve real-world issues using classroom skills in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. The 16 students will compete this spring for 10 national finalist slots and ultimately a prize of up to $200,000.

The generator, which students started building earlier this year, will stand about 2 feet tall and could power a safety light – an economical way of illuminating poorly lit neighborhoods or public spaces, such as parks and parking lots.

“It’s like a real-life experience,” said senior Andrea Greter, 17, of Streamwood. “We’re actually finding a problem and fixing it. We’re working to make something real. [Engineering] can solve so many problems.”

Matt Erbach, the students’ mentor and engineering class teacher, said their generator is a “microgeneration” project – the small-scale production of

renewable heat and electric power.

“Essentially, we are using a tiny motor as a miniature energy generator,” said Erbach, who also teaches precision manufacturing. “We are using wind power to generate enough electricity to power a safety light, not something that is as bright as a street lamp, but something to make it more visible. Microgeneration isn’t really a big deal here, but in the developing world it is huge.”

Microgeneration can use solar, air source, ground source and biomass energy. It can be an alternative or supplement to traditional centralized power grids that people, small businesses and communities can implement to meet their own needs.

Erbach, a Rolling Meadows resident and a teacher in Elgin Area School District U-46 for 10 years, has entered the contest twice before with other sustainable ideas; he hopes this third attempt will take the school all the way to the top.

Erbach’s 2015 project to teach students about energy management and green housing while helping homeowners save on energy costs was named a state winner in the Samsung contest, but didn’t make the national finals. Still, it earned the school $25,000

See WINNING INVENTION, page A11

Continued from page A10

Erbach said he looked into installing the lights powered by the students’ generator at homeless shelters and churches in poor neighborhoods, but the ones he approached were reluctant to participate.

“We are looking right now for more local [sites] that we can hit quickly so we can meet the time constraints of the program,” he said. “Our own parking lot in the school has some dark areas.

The city of Elgin has community gardens that could benefit from a little bit of light at night. We want five sites to beta test. The kids are researching it right now.”

Erbach also would like students to work on a wind energy-powered mobile device charger, like a USB, that could power a phone or tablet device in places with no electricity.

in technology grants, which went to buy Chromebooks, printers and cameras for several preschool programs within U-46.

This year, Streamwood again will receive another $25,000 in technology goodies, including a laptop to create a video showcasing how the generator can be used to benefit humanity.

“It’s tough to find a problem that the kids can actually get within striking distance of fixing,” Erbach said. “Anything that is environmentally positive is a good thing. When you are designing something as an engineer, you are designing typically to make things better.”

3 dead after tornadoes, storms hit Midwest

By JIM SALTER

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – A deadly springlike storm that one Illinois resident described as sounding like “an explosion of glass” damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes in that state and others, blew cars off a major Missouri highway and forced people in an Arkansas town to huddle for safety in a high school.

Tornadoes were blamed in three deaths amid a large swath of destruction through the central U.S. before rumbling eastward. Forecasters said up to 95 million people are potentially in the storm’s path as it moves toward the mid-Atlantic states and southern New England. Forecasters said cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., could be at risk.

Officials in Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri were assessing damage after storms Tuesday night and early Wednesday.

In northern Illinois, an uprooted tree killed 76-year-old Wayne Tuntland of Ottawa. More than a dozen others were injured. In the small community of Naplate, next to Ottawa, about a quarter of the roughly 200 homes were damaged, Fire Chief John Nevins said.

Lawyer: Evidence in hand for ex-prosecutor’s retrial

SPRINGFIELD – The attorney representing the former Illinois prosecutor charged with first-degree murder said evidence not available during the defendant’s first trial has turned up.

Former Adams County Assistant State’s Attorney Curtis Lovelace is accused in the 2006 death of 38-year-old Cory Lovelace. His first trial ended with a deadlocked jury.

Weather cancels meeting between Rauner, rapper

CHICAGO – A meeting between Grammy-winning artist Chance the Rapper and Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has been canceled because of severe weather.

They were supposed to meet Wednesday to discuss school funding in Chicago. Rauner will instead be touring areas of Illinois hit hard by a deadly storm.

The Chicago performer, whose name is Chancelor Bennett, said Wednesday on Twitter that the meeting was canceled, which Rauner’s office confirmed.

Talk of the meeting sprung up after the first-term governor congratulated the rapper via Twitter for winning three Grammy Awards last month.

Rauner said the state was “proud” the rapper was from Illinois. Chance replied

Cpl. Juston Wheetley said. The wind was so strong that it lifted crumpled cars from a nearby salvage yard and tossed them along the highway.

Nearly 110 homes in the Perryville area were damaged or destroyed and 12 people suffered minor injuries, Perryville Fire Chief Jeremy Triller said.

“I feel we’re very blessed and fortunate we didn’t have a higher fatality number with this terrible disaster,” Triller said.

Meteorologist Rick Shanklin of the National Weather Service said the Missouri twister was a “strong tornado,” but the actual wind speed has not been estimated. Officials believe it was on the ground for 13 to 15 miles, crossing the Mississippi River into Illinois.

National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center meteorologist Patrick Marsh said crews are still determining how many twisters touched down across the central U.S. Marsh said a strong storm system moved from the Mountain West and collided with warm and humid air in the Midwest, which has enjoyed an unusually warm winter and where temperatures Tuesday were well into the 70s in many places.

“That’s why we saw storms more representative of late March and April,” Marsh said. “The atmosphere doesn’t care what the calendar says.”

Winfrey rethinks a run for president after Trump win

NEW YORK – Oprah Winfrey said President Donald Trump’s victory has her rethinking whether she could be elected to the White House.

Winfrey, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke with financier David Rubenstein in December for an interview for his Bloomberg Television show, which premiered this week.

Winfrey said that before Trump’s election she thought that she didn’t have the necessary government experience to run the country but now she thinks differently.

The billionaire businessman had never before held public office before his election victory in November.

Winfrey also touched on her 25 years hosting a syndicated talk show. She said her ultimate purpose of the show was to let people know that “we really are more alike than we are different.”

WASHINGTON – Former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke was sworn in Wednesday as secretary of the Interior Department, assuming oversight of 400 million acres of public land, mostly in the West.

Vice President Mike Pence administered the oath of office hours after the Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s nomination of Zinke by a vote of 68-31. Several Democrats from Western states as well as those facing tough re-election campaigns next year, including Montana’s Jon Tester, Indiana’s Joe Donnelly and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, voted for Zinke, a Republican.

Zinke pledged to “get to work” immediately and said he knows he’ll “be held accountable to get things done.”

Trump embraces pomp, circumstance of address

By KEN THOMAS and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Most mornings, President Donald Trump gathers business leaders, union executives or others at the White House for made-for-television meetings meant to project the image of a can-do chief executive.

Trump sits at the center of one of the White House’s ornate meeting rooms, offers brief remarks and invites assembled journalists to stick around to hear his guests praise his plans.

Few tangible policy decisions emerge from the listening sessions. But the public parts of the meeting are carried in full on cable TV, underscoring the ways in which an unconventional new president is using the traditional trappings of the office to his advantage.

Playing the role of president is a crucial skill that doesn’t always come easily to Oval Office occupants. The theater of the presidency can’t fully mask policy fumbles or awkward disputes, but it can shape the way in which a commander in chief is perceived by the public and can help keep anxious political allies in line.

That was particularly evident Tuesday night, when Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress.

The new president stepped into the House chamber with historically low public approval ratings after a turbulent start to his administration. Some Republicans are growing weary of his refusal – or inability – to stop hurling personal insults and his seeming unwillingness to focus on the GOP’s ambitious domestic policy agenda.

Trump responded by embracing both the traditional pomp and decorum of a presidential address. He delivered a restrained and largely optimistic speech, rarely veering off script. In an emotional high point, he singled out the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was sitting in the guest box and joined lawmakers in sustained applause for her husband’s sacrifice.

Republicans swooned.

“You saw an outsider last night sort of hit his stride,” declared Sen. David Perdue of Georgia.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty called the address “less Mad Max and more Ronald Reagan.”

“It buys him some good will and some time to fill out more positions and the roadmap of where they want to go,” Pawlenty said.

To the president’s critics, it was a frustrating reminder that Trump is often judged by a different standard and praised for stylistic shifts that rarely stick.

“For all the past talk of pivots that never happened, the reality is he’s going to benefit like last night from the trappings of the presidency,” said Brian Fallon, a former top communications aide to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

After celebrating the speech with the president over hot dogs and popcorn in the White House residence late Tuesday night, White House aides moved swiftly to keep a good moment going.

Plans to follow Trump’s speech with the signing of a revamped, yet still controversial, travel ban executive order Wednesday were delayed, so the administration avoided trampling on the looping highlight reel of Trump’s speech on cable TV. Press secretary Sean Spicer’s daily briefing, which has become a must-watch TV event, was switched to an off-camera gaggle.

One of the surprising paradoxes of Trump’s stunning political rise is that the former reality TV star hasn’t always succeeded on the biggest stages. He promised a high-wattage show at the Republican National Convention, but the fourday gathering was often disjointed and lacked star power.

Trump gave uneven performances in his three debates against Clinton and he stepped on his own inaugural message by complaining that the crowd size wasn’t being accurately covered.

Health care competition idea faces hurdles Critics: Cross-state plan unlikely more affordable

By JONATHAN J. COOPER and RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Allowing insurers to market health care policies across state lines is one of President Donald Trump’s main ideas for bringing down costs.

While supporters of the idea cast it as a way to make insurance policies more competitive, critics said it’s unlikely to result in more affordable plans and could undermine stronger consumer protections in states such as California and Hawaii. Such a “race to the bottom” could leave some older consumers with health problems unable to afford coverage.

And there’s another complication: Trump’s proposal appears unlikely to pass Congress unless Democrats cooperate. Congressional aides involved with health care legislation said the proposal to allow cross-state insurance sales would need 60 votes in the Senate.

In his speech to Congress on Tuesday night, Trump said the nation must turn to new ideas to help control costs.

“The time has come to give Americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across state lines,” the president said.

The estimated 20 million Americans who buy coverage directly from an insurer would be affected. Their health plans are regulated by state governments, which decide the minimum benefits that must be covered and mediate

Variation between the states was extreme until former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which raised the minimum standards for legal coverage nationwide.

One of the sharpest differences was coverage for maternity care. Mandy Burke of San Leandro, California, who is pregnant with a girl due in May, doesn’t want to go back to a time when it might be more difficult or more expensive to find coverage for pregnancy care.

The costs for repeated prenatal vis-

its, ultrasounds, blood tests and a hospitalization for delivery are insane, said Burke, a 39-year-old musician and music teacher who has subsidized health coverage through California’s insurance exchange. “That was something we had to check out – can we even afford to be pregnant,” she said.

Trump and congressional leaders have vowed to repeal the law and replace it, although the details of their plans remain in flux.

The Trump proposal on cross-state sales would “eviscerate the ability of state legislatures and state governors to decide what the appropriate consumer

protections are for their state’s consumers and businesses,” said Dave Jones, a Democrat who regulates some of California’s health plans as the elected insurance commissioner.

The concept of cross-state sales has been around for at least 10 years, but experts said there is a good reason why it hasn’t advanced: It might not deliver as promised.

“Premiums really reflect the cost of care where an individual lives,” said Barbara Klever of the American Academy of Actuaries, a professional group that represents experts who advise on health care and pension programs.

Health insurance is a little bit like real estate, in that costs reflect local conditions. If an insurance company based in a low-cost state such as Utah is allowed to sell policies in a high-cost state such as New York, its premiums for New Yorkers would reflect medical costs in their own state, not Utah.

Economist Joe Antos of the business-oriented American Enterprise Institute, said the idea of cross-state health insurance has an instinctive appeal because Americans have seen competition drive down costs in other areas, from credit cards to air travel.

But Antos said it’s a “faulty analogy” when it comes to health insurance because where the competition really needs to happen is among hospitals and doctors. And they are increasingly consolidating into bigger units, partly to fend off insurer demands to cut fees.

“You have to have competition at the service-delivery level, as well,” Antos said. “The most expensive part of health care is hospitalization, and that is pretty much going to drive the price of insurance.”

2 charged with murder in Malaysian airport poisoning

By EILEEN NG

The Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Their eyes red and heads bowed, two young women accused of smearing VX nerve agent on the estranged half brother of North Korea’s leader were charged with murder Wednesday in a Malaysian court.

The women – who arrived in court protected by masked, heavily armed police officers – are at the center of the bizarre killing of Kim Jong Nam at a busy Kuala Lumpur airport terminal.

Many speculate the attack was orchestrated by North Korea, but it has denied any role.

“I understand but I am not guilty,” Vietnamese suspect Doan Thi Huong told the court in English after the mur-

der charge was read. She looked briefly at the public gallery, her eyes red and face puffy, as she was led out.

The other suspect, Indonesian Siti Aisyah, nodded as her translator told her, “You are accused of murdering a North Korean man at the departure hall” of Kuala Lumpur International Airport. She was dressed in a red T-shirt Doan Thi and jeans.

Huong The women did not enter pleas because the magistrate court where they appeared has no jurisdiction over a murder case. Lead prosecutor Iskander Ahmad told the court he will ask for the case to be transferred to a higher court and for the women to be tried together.

Each faces a mandatory death sentence if convicted. Both women were wearing bulletproof vests as they were escorted from the court to Kajang Prison.

Kim Jong Nam was attacked at the airport Feb. 13 as he waited for his flight home to Macau. He died shortly after two women went up behind him and wiped something onto his face.

Siti Aisyah Both women have reportedly said they thought they were part of a prank TV show playing harmless tricks on unsuspecting people. Aisyah told authorities she was paid the equivalent of $90.

The attack was caught on grainy airport surveillance video; Huong was seen clearly in a T-shirt with “LOL”

emblazoned across the front. Both women were originally from modest farming villages and had moved to their countries’ capitals seeking a better life.

Gooi Soon Seng, Aisyah’s lawyer, spoke to his client for the first time Wednesday.

“Her eyes were red and she says she’s innocent,” he said.

Also Wednesday, the court approved a gag order to prevent police and potential witnesses from making public statements about the case.

Kim’s corpse is at the center of a growing diplomatic battle between North Korea and Malaysia.

North Korea is widely speculated to have been behind the killing, particularly after Malaysia said Friday that VX had killed Kim.

By VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Despite his promises of a no-holds-barred administration, President Donald Trump is tiptoeing around U.S. military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, and dialing back the threats of abandoning allies.

It seems Trump is opting for an increasingly risk-averse approach to the world.

Although he vowed an aggressive new Iran posture and at one point questioned even basic U.S. policy to China, Trump has been slow to outline policies to back up the swagger. He’s curtailed his nerve-rattling rhetoric about NATO and even his pledges of new cooperation with Russia. And in his first speech to a joint session of Congress, he didn’t even mention the nation’s two long wars or echo the ritual declarations of American global leadership of Republican and Democratic presidents past.

“My job is not to represent the world,” Trump said flatly Tuesday evening. “My job is to represent the United States of America. But we know that America is better off when there is less conflict – not more.”

Trump referenced his reluctance to embroil the United States in another war, insisting “we must learn from the mistakes of the past.” But the overall impression he left was of a new leader still trying to find his footing on some of the most vexing foreign policy and international security conundrums.

Trump’s opposition to new con-

flict is hardly a revolutionary stance.

President Barack Obama promised to pull American troops out of the wars he inherited from President George W. Bush, but proved unsuccessful on each. Bush himself promulgated a “humble” foreign policy before being transformed by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

But Trump’s suggestion of an American retrenchment appears deeper.

His administration has proposed a 37 percent cut to State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development budgets. There are only vague indications of how he’ll redirect tens of billions of dollars into new military spending.

On a night when Trump could have offered a glimpse of the future for thousands of U.S. troops deployed overseas, he said only that he was working on a plan to “demolish and destroy” the Islamic State group. He didn’t reference any goal in Afghanistan, where the U.S. is helping government forces fight the Taliban. He didn’t spell out plans for the Iran nuclear deal, which he once vowed to dismantle, or present a vision for Mideast peace, which he has indicated could entail an independent Palestinian country – or not.

“He’s still coloring within the Obama lines,” said Aaron David Miller, a Middle East expert at the Wilson Center who has advised Republican and Democratic presidents. “He’s reverted to a risk-averse, America First, muscular American nationalism. And the ISIS strategy, yet to be revealed, will be Obama-plus.”

U.S. foreign policy becoming risk averse

PARIS – The French presidential campaign lurched across another speedbump Wednesday as conservative candidate Francois Fillon defiantly vowed to stay in the race despite being notified that he may face preliminary corruption charges in two weeks.

The spring election to replace unpopular Socialist President Francois Hollande has been like no other, strewn with surprises and besmirched with corruption allegations against Fillon and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen of the National Front. Le Pen so far has managed to dodge investigating judges and maintain a top position in the polls.

Fillon, a former prime minister and once the front-runner in France’s tworound April-May presidential election, announced that he was summoned to appear before judges March 15 for allegedly using taxpayers’ money to pay family members for jobs that may not have existed.

The right-wing Republicans party candidate denounced the summons, saying it amounted to a “political assassination.” Then he went further, saying that France’s entire presidential election was being taken out by an over-eager judicial process that was bulldozing the campaign. He appealed to citizens to “resist” and judge for themselves.

Fillon’s claim that his campaign was being targeted in order to sink it drew indignation from President Francois Hollande, who said the candidate had no right to “create a climate of mistrust ... to throw extremely serious accusations at justice and, more

broadly, our institutions.”

France’s highest court bemoaned the “high-voltage atmosphere” in the political arena. In an unusual statement, the Court of Cassation said the judicial system needs neither support nor criticism because “judges follow their own rhythm in full independence ... and are duty-bound not to engage in the electoral debate.”

With the governing Socialists trailing in polls and with a newcomer to politics, independent centrist Emmanuel Macron, sharing the lead with Le Pen, France’s traditional left-right divide could be obliterated this year, upending politics as usual.

“I won’t cede. I won’t surrender. I won’t withdraw,” Fillon told reporters at his campaign headquarters, denying guilt.

However, cracks within his own party quickly appeared, as one of his campaign officials, Bruno Le Maire, bowed out within hours, saying he can’t follow a man who won’t honor his word to withdraw if charged.

France’s center-right UDI party, important backers of Fillon’s, huddled to decide how to proceed. French media reported that the party was “suspending” its support of Fillon until a full vote next week.

Some center and right-wing lawmakers also were bowing out of backing him Wednesday night.

Time is not on Fillon’s side. The top two presidential vote-getters in France’s April 23 ballot head to a presidential runoff May 7.

A determined Fillon soldiered forward, visiting France’s annual farm fair in Paris – a must stop for presidential candidates. He sipped milk with dairy farmers who have complained bitterly about the falling price of milk.

ANOTHER VIEW

China can step up with famine aid in South Sudan If South Sudan’s famine is “man-made,” and it is, then maybe man can also unmake it. Given the country’s unstable government and the U.S.’s uncertain global leadership, however, most of the effort will have to come from China.

More than 40 percent of South Sudan’s 11 million people don’t have enough to eat not because of drought or other natural causes but because of their country’s civil war, which started in 2013. Mayhem and disorder have taken tens of thousands of lives and forced more than 1.5 million to flee.

Meanwhile, corruption and mismanagement have contributed to a shrinking economy.

The U.S. has been the biggest provider of assistance to South Sudan, but President Donald Trump, who has railed against foreign aid while remaining near-silent on Africa, seems unlikely to sustain that commitment.

And as with so many other crises, a stalemate at the UN Security Council has stymied efforts to hold South Sudan’s recalcitrant President Salva Kiir to account. Now Nikki Haley, the U.S. UN ambassador, is rightly questioning whether it makes sense for the U.S. to continue paying the lion’s share of a costly and ineffective UN peacekeeping mission.

Yet the world can’t simply abandon South Sudan, for both altruistic and self-interested reasons. Some 5 million South Sudanese, now facing starvation or catastrophe through no fault of their own, deserve help.

The biggest outside power with the greatest practical interest in securing peace in South Sudan is China. Chinese companies have a 40 percent stake in South Sudan’s largest oil fields, which once accounted for 5 percent of China’s oil imports. Before the civil war, dozens of other Chinese companies were active there, with thousands of Chinese managers and workers.

It’s not as if China isn’t involved; its large contingent of peacekeepers has even suffered casualties. It has also backed regional diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis.

Still, it has more leverage left to use. China should insist on the unimpeded delivery of aid, which Kiir’s government is currently blocking. It could sweeten the pot by boosting its own aid contribution, which has badly lagged its peacekeeping commitment and development loans. China could also lead a more robust diplomatic effort, including in the Security Council, to enforce a broader ceasefire.

President Xi Jinping has made expansive pledges in recent years about cooperation with Africa and China’s commitment to global leadership. South Sudan is one place where China can put its power and influence to better use.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

The demise (we hope) of an ugly lawsuit Among the unfortunate consequences of Congress’ failure to come up with a permanent replacement for the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, none carried more mischievous potential than the long-running attempt by hedge funds to gain control of the companies by court order – and make a taxpayer-subsidized killing in the process.

To its great credit, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has delivered what we can only hope is the final judicial blow to this opportunistic lawsuit.

To review: As Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac headed toward bankruptcy amid the housing meltdown of 2008, their federal regulator took them over pursuant to fresh legal authority from Congress. Over the next several years, the U.S. treasury, in effect, advanced the twins $187 billion to prevent them from collapsing and triggering what could have been a global financial catastrophe. In 2012, the regulator and Treasury rewrote the takeover to make sure that all future profits would accrue to the government, not the speculators

who had meanwhile snapped up beaten-down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stock at pennies a share. This reflected the Obama administration’s reasonable view that bottom-feeding hedge funds should not reap a windfall from a recovery that massive investment by taxpayers made possible.

Amid much high-minded rhetoric about property rights and the rule of law, the funds took their case to federal court, arguing that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s regulator lacked specific statutory authority to carry out the 2012 profit sweep. Proving that legal costs are no object in pursuit of a multibillion-dollar potential payoff, the hedge funds persisted in their lawsuit even after an adverse ruling by Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in Washington two and a half years ago.

It was that appeal whose most consequential argument the D.C. Circuit dismissed last week, in an opinion written by Judge Patricia Millett and Senior Judge Douglas Ginsburg that basically confirmed Lamberth’s reasoning.

Key to the case, they wrote, was Congress’ instruction, in the law establishing Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac’s regulator,

that “no court may take any action to restrain or affect the exercise of [its] powers or functions” over the distressed entities. A dissenting judge, Janice Rogers Brown, objected that this rule should not apply since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s regulator exceeded its authority by turning over all the profits to the Treasury in the first place. This, she wrote, was the act of “a banana republic.”

What that hyperbole overlooks is the fact that there might not have been a republic – or at least an economy – left to argue about if the agency had not rescued Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Second-guessing that at the behest of speculators would be the height of injustice.

Still, Brown has half a point: The “extraordinary” situation at the two entities has gone on too long.

The chances that Congress finally will bring a fair and reasonable end to this situation may be better now that the D.C. Circuit has ruled against the one thing worse than endless limbo at the mortgage-finance giants – turning them over for a pittance to Wall Street gamblers.

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 Rich Miller to saying silly things in public.

Earlier this month, an unopposed candidate for an Arlington Heights village board spot named Joe Favia had to drop out of his race after posting something truly stupid about women on Facebook. After the national women’s marches in January, he posted a meme which read “In one day, Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years.”

Again, he was an unopposed candidate. You don’t usually get a more sure thing in politics than an unopposed campaign. Not for that dude. He gone.

Danville Township Assessor Rick Rohrer, a Democrat, posted the very same meme to his Facebook page and the chairwoman and treasurer of the Vermillion County Democratic Party were so furious, they both resigned in disgust.

Just last week, the sports anchor for the most-watched TV station in the Chicago area, Mark Giangreco, was slapped with a weekslong suspension for tweeting something stupid about the

president and his supporters: “America exposed as a country full of simpletons who allowed this cartoon lunatic to be ‘elected.’ ” Also, have you seen Gov. Bruce Rauner lately? The formerly elbow-throwing, defiant Republican frat jock now is talking like the dearly departed host of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”

I seriously doubt Rauner just naturally morphed from a tough guy who has called just about everybody from the judges to the two state legislative leaders to most of the General Assembly “corrupt,” into a soft-spoken yogi who gently speaks of compromise, peace and harmony. Rauner’s campaign team has the cash to poll-test and focus group just about everything, and the governor is infamous for relentlessly staying on script. He and his people obviously know things have changed.

So, when probable Democratic gubernatorial candidate JB Pritzker woke up early one morning last week and, according to an aide, decided to mock the far right’s incendiary rhetoric by tweeting, “As a protest against Trump’s rescinding protections for trans kids, everyone should use the other gender’s bathroom today! #protecttranskids,” he should’ve first taken a deep breath,

had another cup of coffee, maybe called a friend or two and then realized he was about to make himself look like just another billionaire who can’t control himself on Twitter. Please leave the jokes to the professionals (who, by the way, are regularly put through the public meat grinder for their misfired attempts at humor).

I’m not arguing here for an utterly bland, completely “politically correct” public discourse. I’m just arguing for a little common sense and a bit of self awareness. Just because calling some women fat worked for Trump, doesn’t mean it’s gonna work for low-level candidates and elected officials. Insulting millions of Americans and questioning the nation’s electoral system also worked for Trump, but it is a no-go for a TV talking head.

And appearing to urge men to enter women’s restrooms as some sort of protest shows exactly zero common sense, no matter what the climate may be right now and no matter how well-intentioned the act may have been.

If you can’t do that, then delete your account.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Thanks, Donald Trump

To the Editor: I wanted to thank Donald Trump for making me see that manners and respect are the glue that holds people of different opinions together and for making me feel thankful for having a life where I have friends and family members who are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, members of the LGBT community, rich, poor, large towns, small towns, black, Latino and on and on.

He made me realize how rich and blessed I am and essentially how poor he is. He has made me reflect on my job as a citizen and American. He has made me work hard to find factual information and realize again why my parents told me not to lie. He has helped me understand ugly is not a physical thing but a “who you are inside” thing.

Donald Trump has made me search out things that are different than me and not be afraid of things that are not just like me.

As a Christian, Donald made me re-examine the beatitudes ... and act accordingly.

Donald Trump has made me realize things and stuff cannot really make you happy. He made me realize the importance of a good haircut. He made me remember things that are public are where we as citizens come

together to help and share with each other.

He made me re-read Article I Section 9 of the Constitution and learn the meaning of the word “emolument.” Because of this, I’m also a better Scrabble player.

Thanks, Mr. Trump.

XL pipeline is disastrous

To the Editor: I heartily disagree with the editorial of 2/2/17 which stated that the start of the XL pipeline would provide jobs and somehow improve the economy.

Firstly, to get at those sands which contain the oil, a large amount of deforestation must take place (always polluting). Furthermore, the jobs created only would be temporary and after the pipeline is finished, a small maintenance crew would be necessary to report leaks which are inevitable, messy and cost a great deal to repair.

Insofar as improving the economy is concerned, if you think the U.S. is going to get any of the end product, we will be outbid by China and India. Knowledgeable climatologists say if the pipeline goes through, “it’s

If you’re running for office anytime soon, or if you currently hold office or are a “public figure,” please try to keep one thing in mind: So far, the only person to prove he can thrive by talking like President Donald Trump is ... President Donald Trump.

Trump, and only Trump, can insult a war hero because the man was captured by the enemy, joke about grabbing women by the unmentionables, accuse an opponent’s father of participating in a plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy and still be elected to the highest office in the land.

Heck, Trump may have even been right when he joked during the campaign: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”

But don’t even think of trying this at home. The president’s election was not a permission slip allowing everybody to now say the most outrageous things that come to mind. Trump changed the rules last year for himself, not anybody else – or, at least, not yet.

Say something stupid and the media – both news and social – will whack you but good and it won’t turn out nearly as well as it did for candidate Trump.

How businesses make creative videos

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Melons going splat in slow motion. Drawn-as-you-go animation about machines. A behind-thescenes look at winery operations. Not the usual viral videos, but small business owners have realized offering something to watch and having a sense of humor about themselves can help grab customers’ attention.

In more than a 100 videos he’s posted on YouTube, Tom Nardone takes aim at racks of ribs, laptop computers and tires to illustrate what a bulletproof vest can do. A Valentine’s Day-timed video sacrificed several boxes of candy.

The videos can be graphic, with items exploding at slow speed and Nardone splattered with barbecue sauce or peanut butter.

Nardone, owner of Troy, Michigan-based PriveCo, began making the videos in 2013, less than a year after he began selling the vests. Although he advertised in magazines and went to gun shows, he realized that to reach a wider audience he needed to be online. And he didn’t want a demonstration of just the vests.

PriveCo’s videos have collected a following; the melon video has nearly a million views since it was posted more than 2½ years ago. Nardone gets recognized at gun shows, and has gotten compliments from people who like to watch him shoot items from gravel to boxed wine.

It’s natural for some small business-

But more businesses are getting on board – Facebook counted more than 3 million small business videos posted in September, up 50 percent from 2 million six months earlier, according to the company’s most recent published figures.

Arlington Machinery, which sells, repairs and appraises used plastic-making machines, began posting videos on YouTube nine years ago with several

objectives. One was to raise the company’s rank in internet search results, and another was to display machines for prospective buyers. Or, if equipment was sent to the company for repair, videos could show the owners that the machines were ready to be sent back.

But more recently, Arlington realized videos also were a way to market itself to different kinds of customers.

The Elk Grove, Illinois-based company decided to have a little fun, and commissioned the whimsical animated video that explains the company’s services.

“Used machinery is not all that exciting to most people,” said David Pi-

etig, a general manager at the company.

“What we’re trying to do is make people interested in what we do.”

Thinking about what customers want to see is the best way to get inspired, marketing experts said.

Making videos can cost almost nothing or run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Arlington Machinery said its animation cost only about $100, but Nardone paid more than $15,000 to produce a series of videos last summer. At Mountain View Vineyard, a Pennsylvania winery that began making videos in the past year, a smartphone and a still camera have kept the costs minimal.

When marketing director Laurie Monteforte started working at Mountain View a year ago, she made it a priority to create a campaign that included videos. But the standard way of selling wine – showing smiling people gathered around a food-laden table lifting their glasses in a toast – won’t work in a video, she said.

“Today’s audience doesn’t want commercials, where we try to sell you something,” Monteforte said.

Mountain View’s videos teach viewers how to make something with wine or show some aspect of the winery’s operations. Last summer, owner Linda Rice demonstrated how she hand-picks Japanese beetles off plants and drops them into soapy water, killing them without chemical pesticides.

Mountain View said its revenue is up about 30 percent in the past year, and credits about three-quarters of that gain to video and social media.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 2017

Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom are breaking up after about a year together.

Representatives for Perry and Bloom released a statement Wednesday saying the couple “are taking respectful, loving space at this time.”

Bloom’s film credits include “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. He previously was married to supermodel Miranda Kerr.

Perry is currently promoting her new single “Chained to the Rhythm” and has had hits with “I Kissed a Girl” and “California Gurls.”

Academy apologizes for in memoriam mistake

Drama teacher Tanisha Cidel (center) laughs with two of her students, Jaden Piner (left), 13, and Alex Hibbert, 12, as they head to drama class Wednesday at Norland Middle School in Miami Gardens, Fla. The three acted in “Moonlight.”

Young ‘Moonlight’ stars return from Oscars to middle school MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Seventh-graders Alex Hibbert and Jaden Piner returned to middle school Wednesday as Oscar winners, but the “Moonlight” stars still had to go back to basics with their classmates in drama class.

At Norland Middle School, they followed acting teacher Tanisha Cidel’s directions to crawl on the floor like lions and recite the tongue-twister “red leather, yellow leather” faster and faster.

Cidel played a principal in the film that also won Oscars for best supporting actor and best adapted screenplay.

“The key here is not to pretend,” she told her students. “The key here is to be real. Honest.”

In the communities where “Moonlight” was filmed, the movie has been lauded this week for its honest representation of life in black Miami, long overshadowed by the city’s glitzy hotels and hipster neighborhoods.

Writer-director Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, whose play “Moonlight” is based on, both grew up in the Liberty City streets and schools depicted on screen.

“It shows that Liberty City is not really a bad place, and you can’t judge it by the news,” 12-year-old Alex said. “When you watch ‘Moonlight,’ you find the beauty of Liberty City.”

“Moonlight” follows the life of a young black man – played as a child by Alex – as he grows up in poverty and comes to terms with his own homosexuality. Jaden plays his classmate.

NEW YORK – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has apologized to the Australian movie producer it incorrectly showed during Sunday’s Oscars in memoriam reel.

In a statement Wednesday, the film academy extended “our deepest apologies” to producer Jan Chapman, whose photo was mistakenly used in the tribute instead of Chapman’s colleague and friend, the late Janet Patterson. Chapman had said she was “devastated” by the error.

Patterson, an Australian costume designer and four-time Oscar nominee (“The Piano,” “Bright Star”), passed away in October last year. Patterson and Chapman worked together on “The Piano.”

Casey Affleck speaks about sexual harassment claims

NEW YORK – In an interview after his Oscar win on Sunday, Casey Affleck addressed earlier sexual harassment claims against him and said “everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and everywhere else.”

The “Manchester by the Sea” star had largely evaded questions about the two lawsuits brought against him while making the 2010 mockumentary “I’m Still Here,” which he directed. The settlement of each case prevents each party from discussing the accusations. Affleck has denied the allegations.

In an interview posted Tuesday night by The Boston Globe, Affleck said, “I believe that

any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else.”

Lady Gaga to headline Coachella in lieu of Beyonce

INDIO, Calif. – Attention Little Monsters: Lady Gaga is coming to Coachella.

The diva announced Tuesday night she will be performing at the music festival for both weekends in April. Gaga will take the headlining spot that had been Beyonce’s; pregnant with twins, the superstar announced last week that her doctors recommended she bow out. She rescheduled her performance for next year.

Gaga is set to launch her “Joanne” world tour this summer, so Coachella will be a warm-up for her of sorts. She might have given fans a sneak peak of what to expect with her Super Bowl performance in February.

Alec Baldwin working on Trump satire book

NEW YORK – Alec Baldwin has found a new way to mock Donald Trump.

Baldwin is teaming with author Kurt Andersen on the satirical book “You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump,” Penguin Press announced Wednesday. The book is scheduled to come out Nov. 7, almost exactly a year to the day that Trump stunned the world by being elected president, and ensured many more appearances by Baldwin as Trump on “Saturday Night Live.”

30 Prevent nosebleeds in cold, dry climates Dear Doctor: We just moved from Miami to northern Michigan, and even though my daily routine hasn’t changed and I’m not on any new medications, I have begun to get a nosebleed every few weeks. Should I be worried?’

Dear Reader: If you had reported the onset of nosebleeds on a daily or even biweekly basis, then we would be having a different discussion.

But you have recently moved from a climate that is warm and moist to one that, in winter, is cold and dry, and this can cause quite a bit of stress to delicate nasal tissues. Add in the effects of the heaters and furnaces that are pumping hot, dry air into homes and offices, and you’ve set the stage for the occasional nosebleed.

Why? A look at the inner workings of the nose will help explain.

Our noses have two main jobs. They not only serve as airways that filter, moisten, and either warm or cool the air we breathe, they are also our scent organs.

Behind the visible portion of the nose that draws in air lies a wonderfully complex series of chambers and canals known as the sinus cavities. These are covered with a specialized lining called the mucosa, which includes numerous mucus glands that keep all the inner surfaces moist.

When cold or dry air causes the nasal membranes to dry out enough that they crack, the result is a nosebleed. This is most common in areas where winters are cold or summers are hot and dry. Because nasal membranes gradually become less robust over time, older adults can be more susceptible to nosebleeds than those who are younger. Individuals on blood-thinning drugs are also at greater risk.

Fortunately, there are a few steps you

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier can take to lessen your chance of another nosebleed. First, try a little tenderness.

When you need to blow your nose to clear it of mucus, do so gently. Instead of abruptly trumpeting full force into a tissue, use the minimum amount of gradual pressure needed to clear your nasal passages.

Using a humidifier, particularly in the bedroom as you sleep, gives your mucus membrane a boost.

Just be sure to stay vigilant about keeping the humidifier clean, as moist air is basically a welcome mat for fungus.

A dab of a water-based ointment inside each nostril will also help to keep things lubricated.

If you do get another nosebleed, don’t panic.

Lean forward (if you lean back, you wind up swallowing blood) and lightly pinch your nostrils together near the bridge of your nose.

This puts pressure on the vessel that’s bleeding and the flow should stop. Give it five minutes and then gently release.

If your nose is still bleeding, pinch again and go for another five minutes. In most cases, bleeding will stop within 10 to 15 minutes.

If your nose is still bleeding after 20 minutes, it’s time to see a doctor.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have seen letters in your column Jeanne from parents who Phillips want to ensure their children’s and teenagers’ safety when visiting their friends’ homes. A question parents need to ask the hosting parents is what their drug and alcohol policy is. We wrongly assumed (and trusted) that our daughter’s friends’ parents did not facilitate access to alcohol or drugs to minors. We realized – too late – that from the time she was 15, our daughter had access to unmonitored alcohol and was sometimes encouraged to consume it in these homes. Many parents think it’s OK if teens drink alcohol under supervision, as long as the parents are there and they have the car keys. They rationalize the teens are going to do it anyway, so why not under supervision? What these parents don’t consider is a teen who may have a genetic predisposition to addiction may have a switch turned on in his or her developing brain. Our daughter’s addiction became a long, difficult struggle, which led to the untimely death of our smart and talented daughter at age 24. – Grieving Mom in Reno Dear Grieving Mom: I am sorry for the tragic loss of your daughter. In most states, providing alcohol to minors is against the law, not only for public safety, but also for the reason you stated.

Years ago, I spoke with a gentleman who was active with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), when he repeated something he’d heard at an AA meeting. He said the subject being discussed at the meeting was what it felt like having that “very first drink.”

One of the members stood up and said, “It was like someone switched a light on in my head, and I said to myself, ‘So that’s what it’s like to feel normal!’ ” This is why it is imperative that families with a history of addiction make their children aware of it and clearly understand why it’s important they avoid addictive substances even if their friends are indulging.

Dear Abby: My husband is obsessed with his personal electronic devices and insists on using one most of the time. He gets angry if I ask him to stop even for a short time. But the worst part is, he routinely takes his tablet into the bathroom with him for extended periods. And no, he does not sanitize the tablet afterward – or ever, for that matter.

Abby, he reads your column and I’m hoping you might comment on this unsafe and repulsive habit. Please help, because he won’t listen to me. –

Prairie Ridge’s season ends with loss to Larkin

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com ELGIN – Austen Ferbet admitted that Prairie Ridge hadn’t played in many loud atmospheres this season.

That changed quickly as the Wolves’ boys basketball team took on Larkin on its home court in a Class 4A Larkin Regional semifinal Wednesday night.

PR struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm, committing 24 turnovers in a 50-39 loss that ended its season.

Despite cutting Larkin’s 14-point, fourth-quarter lead to two with 2:22 to go, the Wolves (20-8) were outscored 10-1 from that point.

“We haven’t been used to that this year,” Ferbet said of the atmosphere.

“I think at times it made us rush things when we could have slowed it down. I

mean, they got in our heads a little bit, but that’s not an excuse at this point in the season. It was nothing we couldn’t handle. ... Tonight was just one of those games where we didn’t have it.”

Larkin (17-14), which advances to Friday’s championship against Bartlett (18-11), held PR scoreless for the first 5:30 before Ferbet banked in an elbow jumper. The Wolves finished shooting only 27 percent (13 of 48).

As often has been the case for the Wolves over the years, their defense kept them in the game through that point – trailing only 10-8 after one quarter and forcing 21 Larkin turnovers.

Larkin led by only four at the break, despite taking twice as many field-goal attempts (32-16) as the Wolves.

“It was just one of those games. We turned the ball over early,” PR coach Corky Card said. “These kids have battled through a lot of things this year, and they showed a lot of composure tonight, as well. We did not play particularly well in spots tonight, but we found a way to battle back and give

After Barrington’s Bart Susol hit two free throws, cutting the lead to 4337 with 1:35 to go, Gio Calabrese, Gavin Markgraff, Patrick Breisch and James Mullhall combined to hit 9 of 10 free throws.

Markgraff scored a game-high 26 points and opened the game with the first of four 3-pointers. The Warriors never trailed and took a 22-14 lead at halftime, holding the Broncos (17-11) to 4-of-23 first-half shooting.

“The intensity was there on defense,” Markgraff said. “That’s us getting in gaps. There was a sense of payback, too. They beat us early; we were excited when we saw this matchup. We

were denying and boxing out and going.”

Klein, who missed half of his senior season with a broken bone in his left hand and a sprained left ankle, was back to play an integral part with 12 points and steady ballhandling.

“It feels great; I’ve been itching all year,” he said. “I stayed positive and believed in my teammates and coaches and trainer.”

Paddock liked the way his team executed its pack-line defense, a sagging man-to-man to clog passing and driving lanes, and slow down the Broncos.

“We’ve been pretty good with that all year, getting in gaps, letting guys shoot who we want to shoot, and guarding others,” Paddock said. “They’ve done a really good job all year.”

Barrington finished shooting 27.6 percent (13 of 47) from the field.

“We got a lot of looks in the paint and didn’t finish,” Broncos coach Bryan Tucker said. “Part of it is they’re long, they challenge shots, they’re physical. They did a really good job defending the whole night. If you’re going to say we’d have that many shots in the paint, I’d say, ‘We’ll take it.’ ”

Marian, with eight players listed at 6-3 or taller, scored only seven points in the first half. The Hurricanes made an effort to find their big men inside in the second half and it opened up shooters on the outside.

Senior guard Jack Moscinski hit a pair of 3-pointers to spark his team in the third quarter. Herbst was all over the glass, finishing with 11 rebounds.

“We wanted to move the ball more, get the ball inside, get it to our big man,” Moscinski said. “Once we got the ball inside, shots started falling from the outside.”

Marian still trailed by 13 entering the fourth quarter. Herbst made a pair

of putback layups, including an threepoint play. Ohlrich hit a step-back 3, and A.J. Golembiewski knocked down a 3 of his own. Marian cut the Bucs’ lead to five with 1:30 remaining.

“Late in the game, we started to play with a little more sense of urgency,” Sarther said. “We were trying to hit that reset button coming out of halftime. Give [Belvidere] a ton of credit, that team plays hard. They fight to get every loose ball, every deflection.”

Moscinski and Ohlrich led Marian with nine points each in the final game of their high school careers. Ohlrich also grabbed eight rebounds. Herbst, a junior, finished with seven points.

Belvidere coach Aaron Pearson liked his team’s energy on defense, especially early in the game.

“Our defense won us that game,” Pearson said. “We missed a lot of contested shots. It’s been our trademark all year – defense.”

Belvidere’s Austin Revolinski led all scorers with 17 points, including going 8 of 10 from the free-throw line.

Will Morris scored 14 points. The Bucs shot 43 percent from the field.

PALATINE – McHenry had played too well through three quarters, building a double-digit lead and frustrating Barrington’s offense, to let a win slip away in the fourth.

When the Warriors’ 14-point lead had been hacked to six with 1:35 remaining, they did not flinch.

“We’ve been practicing getting doubled, even working against six defenders to help out in these types of situations,” McHenry guard Colton Klein said. “The biggest emphasis was free throws, those really sealed the deal.”

The No. 10-seeded Warriors did not turn the ball over and made nine of their final 10 free throws to defeat No. 7 Barrington, 52-41, Wednesday night in their Class 4A Palatine Regional boys basketball semifinal game. McHenry (18-11) will face No. 2 Conant (25-4) at 7 p.m. Friday for the championship.

McHenry had seen similar situations against Prairie Ridge and Jacobs in recent weeks with mixed results.

The Warriors held off Prairie Ridge by two points and lost to Jacobs by one.

4 BLACKHAWKS 4, PENGUINS 1

Another hat trick for Kane

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There were at least six future Hall of Famers going at it Wednesday night at the United Center – seven if you count the man behind the Blackhawks’ bench. On one side, you had Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Duncan Keith. On the other, you had Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

And the game that NBC executives can only pray was a Stanley Cup Final preview lived up to the billing, as the Hawks pulled out an entertaining 4-1 victory – their fifth straight and 10th in their past 11 games. Kane scored his second hat trick in three games – he has 12 goals in the past 11 games – in the meeting of the past two Stanley Cup champions.

But for all the offensive talent on display, it was a brilliant goaltending duel between Scott Darling and Marc-Andre Fleury, both of whom could be destined for other teams next season, that stole the show.

Darling, making his second straight start to allow Corey Crawford time to recover from an illness, was outstanding all night, making 36 saves, including several of the highlight-reel variety. Perhaps none was bigger than his gloved robbery of Matt Cullen on the doorstep at 5:01 of the third period, with the Hawks clinging to a 2-1 lead.

The Hawks, already without Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper body) and taking it slow with newly acquired Johnny Oduya (ankle), took another blow Wednesday, as Artem Anisimov limped off the ice after one shift in the second period and didn’t return.

After a spirited but scoreless first period, things really picked up in the second. Crosby drew iron in the opening minutes, and Scott Darling scrambled to several big stops to keep it scoreless.

The Hawks got on the board first when

Russian focus: Now that the trade deadline is behind him, Hawks general manager Stan Bowman plans to get in touch with Maxim Shalunov and his agent. Shalunov, a 2011 fourth-round pick, just finished his season in the KHL, and could come to Chicago before the end of the NHL season if he can get out of his Novosibirsk Sibir contract.

Shalunov had 19 goals and 18 assists in 49 games this season, and has turned into a high-end prospect.

“I got a chance to see Max play, it was probably about a month ago over in Finland, and he brings a lot to the table,” Bowman said. “He’s a big kid, great skill set, and his skating has come along over the past couple years. Part of it is going to be what their intentions are, and what their plans are. We’ll see where that goes over the next couple weeks.”

That chance was aided by a 12-0 run in which seniors Matt Hoyland, Brian Dorn and Trevor Potter each scored four points to pull the Wolves within two.

But Larkin answered with 6-foot-10 Jalen Shaw’s basket and the foul, which started a 10-1 run to finish the game.

“The atmosphere was pretty surreal,” said Dorn, who scored all six of his points in the fourth quarter. “Both teams were fighting for another day. We could have completely gave up and folded when we were down, but it’s a little reassuring to know we came together and got back in it.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Pardon’s layup at buzzer lifts Northwestern over Michigan

EVANSTON – Dererk Pardon scored on a layup at the buzzer off a long inbound pass from Nathan Taphorn to give Northwestern a 67-65 victory over Michigan on Wednesday night.

The Wolverines’ Zak Irvin had just missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds. The ball got knocked out of bounds and, after a timeout, Taphorn threw a baseball-style pass the length of the court, hitting Pardon in stride for the winning shot.

As the buzzer sounded, fans packing Welsh-Ryan Arena poured onto the court. The win was just what the Wildcats (21-9, 10-7 Big Ten) – trying to make their first NCAA tournament – needed after dropping five of seven.

Vic Law scored 18 for Northwestern.

Bryant McIntosh added 13 points and five assists, and the Wildcats matched their highest conference win total since the 1932-33 team tied for the Big Ten championship.

Derrick Walton Jr. shook off a slow start to score 15 for Michigan (19-11, 9-8).

Illinois outlasts Michigan State

CHAMPAIGN – Malcolm Hill scored 22 points to lead Illinois to a 73-70 win over Michigan State on Wednesday night.

Michigan State (18-12, 10-7 Big Ten) had a chance to win the game in the last 10 seconds, but Miles Bridges missed a layup when Illinois’ Te’Jon Lucas stripped the ball away.

Kipper Nichols made one of two free throws to give Illinois a 73-70 lead with three seconds left.

Lourawls Nairn Jr. attempted a 3-pointer with the game clock expiring, but the shot caromed off the backboard, securing the Illini (18-12, 8-9) win.

– Wire reports

Shaw finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Royals, who also got 12 points from junior guard Anthony Lynch.

For the Wolves, Hoyland was the only player to reach double figures with his 10 points, while Ferbet added six points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

“We had a great season. We definitely had some ups and downs, too,” Ferbet said.

“It’s never easy to see teammates like Kyle go down, but we stuck together and managed to still win 20 games. We battled all year, and I know it’s hard to see right now, but that’s something to be proud of.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

WHAT HAPPENED White Sox bench coach Joe McEwing playfully calls utility man Leury Garcia “Leury Legend.”

That might be a stretch, but on consecutive days in the Cactus League, Garcia was the star.

Garcia, who drove in four runs the day before, drove a pitch from Diamondbacks right-hander Kaleb Fleck off the left-field wall on a bounce for a bases-loaded single and walk-off 3-2 victory for the Sox. The heroic moment was set up by Courtney Hawkins’ hit-and-run single to right, sending minor league prospect Micker Adolfo to third.

Garcia came through after Jacob May and Rymer Liriano struck out.

ger be valid,” Abreu told jurors. “We had to be in Chicago to sign the contract.”

Abreu is not accused of wrongdoing in the case. On trial are Florida-based sports agent Bartolo Hernandez and trainer Julio Estrada, accused of running a smuggling ring that ushered Cuban-born players illegally into the U.S. via a third country where they could sign major-league contracts when residency was established.

The 30-year-old first baseman is expected to testify again Thursday morning.

Abreu won’t be prosecuted if he tells the truth on the stand – he testified under a grant of limited immunity for his

illegal conduct. Other Cuban players also have testified, including Adeiny Hechavarria of the Miami Marlins and Leonys Martin of the Seattle Mariners, and more are expected to.

The American League Rookie of the Year in 2014, Abreu has produced three consecutive seasons of 30-plus doubles, 25 or more homers and 100 or more RBIs, the first Sox to accomplish that feat. After hitting a home run against the Cubs in the Sox’s Cactus League game Monday, Abreu left for Miami to testify. The Sox said they are expecting Abreu to return to the team Thursday night in Glendale.

passport in Haiti, where he had been taken along with his family from Cuba on a boat in August 2013. He said his main contact and fixer there was Amin Latouff, who was indicted along with Hernandez and Estrada but who has not been arrested.

Latouff got the passport and booked the flight, Abreu said, telling him to destroy the document on the plane.

Abreu said he chewed it up in his seat.

“Little by little I swallowed that first page of the passport. I could not arrive in the United States with a false passport,” he said.

After Abreu first joined the Sox, he was close to Estrada and often was seen in his company. Abreu testified that Hernandez and his partners negotiated his deal with the Sox and that Estrada oversaw his training, lodging and other needs when he was in the Dominican and Haiti. Estrada’s company, Total Baseball, was to be paid 20 percent of Abreu’s contract, and Hernandez was to receive 5 percent.

Abreu paid at least $5.8 million to them in 2014, prosecutors say.

Abreu said it was his idea to get the illegal Haiti travel document, and he asked Latouff for help.

“I trusted that he was someone who could help me, and I confided in him that secret,” Abreu testified.

The trial has lasted about a month and is expected to continue a few more weeks.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Will Hammel make Cubs regret declining his option?

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Two years ago, teams feted Jon Lester, sent gifts to him and family members, made video presentations and made nine-figure contract offers.

Jason Hammel? After winning 15 games for the eventual World Series champions, the Jason Hammel right-hander lingered on this past year’s market without an offer, was told teams doubted his health after missing his final start of the season and getting left off the playoff roster, eventually fired his agents and only in February signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Royals that would have been a disappointment in November.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu went to great lengths and through harrowing experiences to play baseball for the White Sox, including a scary 12-hour ride on a small boat with family members from Cuba to Haiti four years ago.

Testifying in federal court in Miami at the trial of two people accused of alien smuggling and conspiracy Wednesday, Abreu shed even more light on what he went through to defect from his home country to the U.S., Jose Abreu telling jurors he ate a chunk of a fake passport on a commercial airline flight to the U.S. The Sox slugger said he was anxiously trying to cover his illegal travel as part of a smuggling operation for Cuban players.

Traveling on a plane from Haiti to Miami, Abreu slowly consumed the page containing a false name and his photo, washing it down with a Heineken beer he had ordered. Abreu said he was traveling illegally because he was worried about missing an October 2013 deadline and losing a $68 million contract the Sox had on the table.

• CUBS

Continued from page 5 “I wanted to stay a Cub. But at this stage of my career, I’m not ready to pitch out of the bullpen,” Hammel said.

The club might have declined the option regardless. Team officials suggested that allowing Hammel to become a free agent not only was a benefit to him in a pitching-thin free-agent market, but also for the club, which wanted to get younger at the back end of its rotation and in the bullpen. And Hammel said he agreed at the time he could leverage the market.

Meanwhile, it’s anybody’s guess whether the Cubs are better off, a month before their title defense opens in St. Louis, without Hammel in their rotation.

Hammel said he understands the desire to get younger on the staff.

“But I felt like I had proven myself over and over and over again for three years there,” he said. “It’s the business side of baseball. And I’m very happy that I’m over here with these guys.”

er this year involves a combination of two pitchers in a “hybrid” rotation spot.

It comes with high hopes but little certainty – whether that’s about the oft-injured Brett Anderson’s health or Mike Montgomery’s inexperience as a big-league starter.

Even when talking about how much he likes the upside of Anderson this week, Cubs manager Joe Maddon wasn’t ready to suggest the Cubs were better off than they were with Hammel as part of the rotation.

“Jason won 15 games; that’s not easy to do,” Maddon said. “Hammer did a lot of great work for us. There might have been a bit of a slide towards the ends of the [last two] seasons. I can’t just tell you blanketly that this guy’s going to come in and be able to put up that kind of line.”

Maddon’s quick hooks in some of Hammel’s starts the past two summers and Hammel’s nonroster status throughout the long postseason run might have influenced his market as much as the “elbow tightness” that cost him his final regular-season start.

I’m really getting antsy. This weather is going to drive me over the edge. I am tired of being teased by good weather, only to have it taken away from me shortly after its onset.

I’m trying to fill some time by making the proverbial heads and tails out of the proposed 2018 Illinois Department of OUTDOORS Natural Resources Steve budget that was Sarley released recently. There seems to be an awful lot of verbiage in it that needs a legal degree to be able to read and make sense of it all.

One thing that sticks out is a proposed five-year fishing license, a proposed five-year hunting license and a proposed five-year combination license. The prices are right, but I sincerely hope this is not being done to collect money now rather than wait until later. Isn’t this what the city of Chicago did with its parking meters?

Everyone agrees that was a bad move.

I guess I’ll fill my remaining time waiting for spring by getting my equipment ready. I recommend you all do the same.

First of all, if you haven’t had your reels cleaned and lubricated, you are just about at the deadline to have that chore done before the traditional April 1 opening day. Get them in to the reel technician of your choice and have it done. It’s a cheap fix that can extend the life of your precious equipment.

As far as your rods, take a cotton ball and rub it gently over the line guides. Look carefully to see whether any of the wispy cotton sticks or snags on the line guides. If a guide has even the smallest of snags, cracks or chinks in it, the cotton will stick to it. If that happens, you’ve found a spot that your line will rub against and more than likely break at that point. A damaged guide can be fixed easily. Never fish with a rod that has a line guide that is compromised. It usually breaks when you are fighting a trophy fish.

Everyone wants to catch as many fish as possible, right? We fish a lot of heavily pressured waters, and bites can be hard to come by. It is quite important to be able to hook as many of the fish that bite as possible. To do that, we all need to use the sharpest hooks that we can.

I’m a big believer in using sharp hooks. I like the Gamakatsu brand of hook, and also those by Tru-Turn and Daiichi. If I’m using a drop shot rig or wacky rig, I always use these ultra-sharp hooks.

If I am using jigs, I don’t have a choice in the hooks, so I always use a file and hone the point of my jig hooks to a sharper point. It only takes a few

8 NFL COMBINE

Pace building Bears for long haul

INDIANAPOLIS – For those of us on the NFL beat, the combine is our version of La La Land, with open access to almost every head coach and general manager in the NFL, plus the gold that can be mined depending on who you might just bump into in the cavernous halls of the Indiana Convention Center.

The problem, however, is that we all still are at work, and their jobs are to make sure everyone else knows as little as possible about whatever they’re thinking relative to free agency and the draft to maintain as solid a competitive advantage as they can.

That leaves us listening and watching as intently as we can for every phrase, inflection, expression and slip of the tongue we can to try to gauge the particular direction a club might be heading.

So, I’m here to report that I think Bears GM Ryan Pace is preparing for another year of rebuilding with his focus on a perennial contender over winning football games in 2017.

Consider Pace’s response when asked about the decision to let receiver Alshon Jeffery test the free-agent market.

“It was thought out thor-

BEARS NOTES

Bears prepared for Jeffery to hit market next week

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com INDIANAPOLIS – Bears general manager Ryan Pace is prepared for Alshon Jeffery to hit the market, but wouldn’t rule out a return for the team’s best receiver.

Pace also said Jay Cutler’s situation is “fluid,” with “a lot of conversations going on” between the team, Cutler and his agent, Bus Cook.

Welcome to the NFL Scouting Combine, where Pace admits it’s difficult to provide details.

“The two press conferences that are hardest are this one and the one right before the draft,” Pace said. “I’m trying to work with you all, but I hope you appreciate that.”

Pace’s candor reflects the challenge for GMs this week, eight days before free agency opens and two months be-

fore the draft, when no one wants to show his hand.

What we could glean from Pace is where the Bears stand with Jeffery and recovery updates on Kyle Long and Kevin White.

Pace began his media session speaking on Jeffery, who will not receive the franchise tag.

“I think sometimes when you can’t come to a common ground with Alshon Jeffery a player and an agent, sometimes it’s necessary to kind of test the market to determine that player’s value, and that’s really where we’re at,” Pace said. “He’s a good player, and we’ll see how it plays out. But I think there are certain instances where testing the market is a necessary part of the process.”

Pace said tagging Jeffery for the second year in a row “really wasn’t an

option,” but that he will have “a lot of conversations” with Jeffery’s agent, Tory Dandy, throughout the week.

As for what the Bears can sell Jeffery on, coach John Fox said it would start with familiarity.

“I’d say [Jeffery] knows us better than anybody else he could potentially go to,” Fox said. “I think it’s a positive feeling. With typically these things, it comes down to the market value. It’s like walking into a store right now at this time of year and there’s no price tags. We kind of develop that moving forward. My experience has been that’s a very fluid process.”

White’s status: If Jeffery exits via free agency, that only heightens the importance of getting a healthy Kevin White on the field to produce like the No. 1 receiver the Bears drafted him to be.

“He’s coming along fast. I still have a lot of confidence in him,” Pace said.

“He has a lot of confidence in himself.

We’re getting daily reports on his progress. I just want to see steady, consistent progress from him. Right now, he’s getting his body all in alignment, and he’s feeling good. When I see footage of kind of where he’s at now, I get excited.

I just want to see steady improvement.”

No shoulder surgery for Long: Pace confirmed that the three-time Pro Bowl guard won’t need surgery on his shoulder as he recovers from his ankle surgery.

“It wasn’t just one or two doctors, it was multiple opinions and doctors with a lot of conviction that this was the right thing to do,” Pace said. “He’s strong. He’s kind of a freak genetically. His shoulder’s doing good. There’s going to be maintenance as far as strength and everything, which he’s doing. We don’t have a lot of concerns with that right now.”

THE NORTHWEST HERALD

UNION – Bucky Halker has traveled across the country and around the world, but he remains rooted in the Midwest, grounded in history.

It is an approach he wishes his fellow Americans would embrace.

“America may be the one country in the world that has an interesting case of historical amnesia,” said Halker, 62, of Chicago. “We tend to view ourselves as the city on the hill, above it all. But knowing something about the past makes people think a little differently about the present.”

A native of Ashland, Wisconsin, Halker began playing guitar as a teenager. By 16, he had discovered blues piano, songwriting and the music of Woody Gutherie.

Halker’s website notes he “skipped town for college in cowtown Idaho [the liberal arts College of Idaho in Caldwell], learned how to read, and got hooked on caffeine, cigarettes and history books.

“Dividing time between gigs and footnotes, Bucky came back to the Midwest in 1976 [and] continued to perform and earned a Ph.D. in U.S. labor history at the University of Minnesota.”

Halker said he became interested in history as a boy, listening to stories from his grandfather about working in the Chicago stockyards and from his parents, both of whom were from Chicago.

“Folk songs tie in nice with history and that resulted in a merging of my two passions: music and history. Fortunately, I had a college adviser that was open-minded to my idea of a dissertation on forms of protest music in the 19th century,” Halker said. “That kind of set the course.”

Join musician, author and cultural historian Halker at 3 p.m. March 6 for “Ain’t Got a Dollar: Illinois Workers and Protest Songs, 1865-1965.” Well known for his music-history programs on Woody Guthrie and the Great Depression, Halker will visit the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., in Union, as part of the 31st annual Sampler Lecture Series.

Halker uses a blend of performance, audience participation, commentary and discussion as he reviews a century of songs from Illinois workers. Illinois became the center of American workingclass protest music, as coal miners, laborers, printers, iron workers, clothing

”AIN’T GOT A DOLLAR: ILLINOIS WORKERS AND PROTEST SONGS, 1865-1965” workers and their allies penned songs and poems for the cause.

Last year, he spent six months at Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg, Germany, teaching students about the history of American workers and the history of protest music here. It does not surprise Halker one bit that political changes have refocused attention on the topic now.

“There are a lot of parallels between songs in the 19th century and now,” he said. “They might have had a higher sense of moral purpose then, but regardless the issues are still the same: wages, hours, abusing people in the workplace and a discussion of what rights workers should have. It’s a struggle.”

Halker has 10 CDs to his credit, including the 2010 release by a collaborative trio featuring Johnsburg native and John Prine bassist, Tom “Pickles” Piekarski.

Johnsburg 3’s “Caskets in the Cornfield” features folk songs from across Illinois.

Halker also penned the book, “For Democracy, Workers, & God: Labor Song-Poems and Labor Protest” in 1991; is producing the sixth volume of a CD series on Illinois folk music; and directs Company of Folk – an organization that promotes folk and ethnic arts in the Upper Midwest.

“These days doing anything creative means taking on more than you want,” Halker said. “The drawback of being a freelancer like me is you do a lot of projects.”

Still, he remains a devotee of history with an important message for those attending the Sampler program: “I always hope that people do listen to the lyrics and the commentary and at least think a little about what was going in this country then and today,” Halker said.

“Believe me, I’ve been getting a lot of calls.

I’m getting ready to leave for a meeting with AFSCME [American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees].

But I guess I wish circumstances were a little bit different.”

Delta Fireballs to bring the blues to Woodstock

MORE SOUNDS NEWS & REVIEWS NWHerald.com

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Known as one of the world’s leading female blues harmonica players and backed by a world-renowned one-man blues band, McHenry native Geneva Red is returning to town.

Also a blues singer, Red – whose name and likeness has appeared on the packaging for the oldest and most prestigious harmonica brand, Hohner, for the past two decades – will perform as part of The Original Delta Fireballs at 8 p.m. March 4 at Stage Left Café in Woodstock. The group features Red and Jack Wolworth of Jackie 5 & Dime, who honed his skills as a teen living in Woodstock and performing at area venues.

Hosted by The Friends of the Opera House, the event costs $25 and includes a complimentary drink. Tickets are available at the Woodstock Opera House Box Office at 815-338-5300 or tickets@woodstockil.gov.

Expect Chicago-style “Juke Joint” music, with some influences from the Mississippi Delta, said Red, a 2006 graduate of McHenry High School who now lives in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

“We do stuff from ‘Gut Bucket Blues.’

We do some gorgeous Billie Holiday jazz, but it all has this Fireballs blues flare,” she said. “We make it down-home. We give it out own blues feel.”

And that includes a showcase of the skills of Wolworth, playing both guitar and drums in a one-man band style that origi-

nated in the Mississippi Delta. Wolworth, who lived in Woodstock as a teenager in the 1970s, performing jazz and blues gigs while working at a horse farm and in a former music store on the Woodstock Square before going pro at age 21.

Self-taught, he became a composer, orchestrator and arranger, as well as a musician, with his published works including Broadway favorite Charles Strouse’s musical adaptation of “Charlotte’s Web.” Through the years, Wolworth has performed with some of today’s best known Blues artists, including Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Jimmy Johnson, Phil Guy, John Primer, Pine Top Perkins, Sam Carr, Bob Margolin and Billy Branch. With Red, he plays guitar and drums at the same time in the tradition of Memphis musician Joe Hill Louis and Chicago’s “Baby Face” Leroy Foster.

“The man lays down the bass part, the guitar part and three drums,” Red said of Wolworth. “This isn’t the goofy kind [of one-man band] you see with the cymbal on the head, this is serious. . . . He lays it down behind me, like an entire band all night long. It’s not like an acoustic guitar and a little harmonica. It’s rock-the-house, get-down-with-your-bad-self, we’re in a juke joint.”

As for Red, Wolworth said she broke through many of the barriers women in blues have faced, modeling herself after and learning from blues legends.

“She performs like a true entertainer,” Wolworth said.

McHENRY – Local favorites will mix with everything from a Stevie Ray Vaughn tribute band to the amazing, globally inspired bluesharp talents of Pierre Lacocque and Mississippi Heat during the sixth annual Blues, Brews & BBQ’s.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of McHenry, the fundraising music fest will begin and end with McHenrybased talent. Kicking things off at Petersen Park Aug. 18 will be the John Todd Band, and wrapping things up Aug. 20 will be the psychedelic blues rock sounds of Alabaster.

In between, event-goers will enjoy performances from Rosehill Revival, Wall of Denial and more, said band lineup chairwoman Diana Mark after a committee approved the lineup this week.

“We’re fired up about the talent we have scheduled for this summer,” Mark said. “These crowd-pleasing musicians take different approaches to the blues that should offer a little something for everyone.”

Those who enjoyed past fest performances by Kevin Purcell and the Nightburners will be pleased to note Rosehill Revival is Purcell’s Allman Brothers tribute band. Rosehill Revival will follow John Todd on opening night.

Meanwhile, Stevie Ray Vaughn fans will enjoy Wall of Denial, which will kick off the musical fun Saturday afternoon, followed by BluesNiks and finally, Pierre Lacocque and Mississippi Heat.

An enthusiastically received addition last year, the next-generation sounds of the Fernando Jones Kids again will greet fest-goers.

These 7- to 18-year-olds will open the final day of the three-day fest early Sunday afternoon. Johnny Iguana will perform mid-afternoon, paving the way for Alabaster.

“If you haven’t heard of Johnny Iguana and the Claudettes, check them out online,” Mark said.

“What a blast. I’m getting really excited just thinking about it.”

Blues, Brews & BBQ’s is the Rotary Club of McHenry’s chief fundraising activity.

Music, dance and Elle Woods are coming to the Woodstock Opera House.

TownSquare Players’ first production of “Legally Blonde – The Musical” has taken several months worth of hard work, say those involved in the production opening March 3.

“This is the most talented and energetic cast I’ve ever seen,” producer Karen Cook said. “They’ve really bonded like no other cast I’ve ever seen. I know it’s going to be a great show.”

“Legally Blonde – The Musical” runs through March 19, at the Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock. It is based on the novel

by Amanda Brown and the MetroGoldwyn-Mayer motion picture.

In the story, Woods journeys from Malibu debutante to Harvard lawyer in her pursuit of love.

The production features all of the moments from the movie, starring Reese Witherspoon, as well as new musical numbers that “showcase the incredible vocal and physical talents of the cast,” Artistic Director Jeff Cook said.

“Audiences who come because they enjoy the movie will fall in love with the musical,” he said.

“And for those already familiar with the musical, we promise a few surprises.”

Caroline Neff (Sonya) and Tim Hopper (Vanya) star in the Chicago premiere of Annie Baker’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” directed by Robert Falls.

NWHerald.com • Thursday, March 2, 2017

‘Uncle Vanya’ an intriguing tale of longing REVIEWS Paul Lockwood Anton Chekhov is one of those playwrights – like Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams and Eugene O’Neill – many casual theatergoers avoid for a variety of reasons. I’ve come to realize that, with a little advance knowledge, you can understand and appreciate Shakespeare, Williams and O’Neill (for example, a production of “The Iceman Cometh” with Brian Dennehy and Nathan Lane simply was amazing several years ago at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre). And now, I can check off Chekhov.

Goodman artistic director Robert Falls, using an adaptation by Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Baker, has made me wonder what I’ve been missing all these years. While characters in “Uncle Vanya” may complain about being bored, I thoroughly was intrigued by the characters at the center of this four-act play, which is – at its core – a tale of longing for what might have been and what still could be.

As you enter the Owen Theatre, you’re immediately struck by the

“UNCLE VANYA” WHEN: Through March 19 WHERE: Goodman Theatre’s Owen Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn St., Chicago COST & INFO: Tensions are high at the remote estate of an elderly professor, where resentments flow as freely as the vodka. Tickets start at $20 at www. goodmantheatre.org or 312-443-3800. quality of the set, designed by Todd Rosenthal. Or, rather, the deteriorating quality of the Russian house where the play takes place. Clearly this country home once was elegant, as evidenced by a chandelier to the right and patio doors on the left that lead to thick greenery outside. But the mismatched chairs, battered rocker, and peeling walls indicate the inability to keep up appearances or perhaps even to survive.

Ivan “Vanya” Petrovich (Tim Hopper) has lived here a long time, keeping the books and generally supporting the owner of the country house, retired professor Alexander Serebryakov (David Darlow), who has come here with his much younger wife Yelena (Kristen Bush), a beauty whom Vanya can’t stop desiring, even telling her at one

point, “I’m in love with you. I don’t need anything from you.” Mikhail Astrov (Marton Csokas) is a local doctor who makes house calls and fervently regrets the quickly declining number of trees in the nearby countryside.

His charms are evident to Alexander’s daughter from his first marriage, Sonya (Caroline Neff), who has had an unrequited crush on Mikhail for years. Yelena herself finds Mikhail to be a breath of fresh air in the stifling environment of this home and her marriage. One other important note: Vanya’s sister was Alexander’s first wife, so Sonya is his niece.

This is a love pentagon, if you will. Alexander, elderly and often in “unbearable” pain, knows his wife isn’t happy (“You find me repulsive”), and Yelena doesn’t tolerate the situation very well (“Be quiet!

You’re torturing me!”). Vanya says he met Yelena 10 years earlier when he was 37 and she was 23 and, if he’d only had the courage to propose “she’d be my wife now.” At this point, though, “I’m lazy, don’t do anything. I’m whiny and I’m bitter.”

Sonya wants Mikhail to notice her, at least, but he claims to be “not interested in that kind of thing anymore” – until he visits the house on a more frequent basis, that is,

clearly finding Yelena to be worth noticing.

Falls has an outstanding cast here whose characters’ emotions, while sometimes hidden from each other, clearly are visible to the audience. The setting may be Russia, but thanks to Baker’s translation/adaptation and this cast, the interactions are ones we all can relate to, running the gamut from envy to love to anger to frustration to being resigned to your lot in life.

And there’s even humor, such as Yelena’s comment, “I’m like a minor character in a play.”

In short, there’s no need to fear Chekhov when it’s done this well.

• Paul Lockwood is past president of TownSquare Players (TSP) and an occasional community theater actor locally, appearing in more than 30 plays, musicals and revues since he and his wife moved to Woodstock in 2001. Recent shows include “A Christmas Carol “(2014, 2016), “Into the Woods” and “The Drowsy Chaperone,” all at the Woodstock Opera House, where he’ll also appear in “9 to 5,” opening March 31.

THE NORTHWEST HERALD Williams Street Repertory, the inhouse professional theater company for the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, will bring the work of awardwinning playwright George Brant to the stage with the Chicago premiere of “Any Other Name.”

WSR’s production of the dark comedy opens March 17 and runs through April 2 at the Raue, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake. WSR then will transfer the show to Chicago’s Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago, where “Any Other Name” will run from April 21 through April 30.

“Any Other Name” appeared as a WSR LAB Series selection during the 2015 season of the play reading series dedicated to showcasing new work.

“Any Other Name” is a darkly funny psychological thriller about poetry, madness and identity theft set in Victorian England.

Edward Ballard, a poetry critic, and his formerly well-to-do American wife, Margaret, are on the brink of poverty, surviving on Edward’s aspirations of becoming a famous poet. Lofty dreams soon give way to reality, and Edward hatches a plan to satisfy his ambition and save them from ruin by enlisting

member Michele Vazquez in the role of Margaret.

On the return of “Any Other Name” to Crystal Lake, Brant said, “as I got my start in Chicago, I couldn’t be more thrilled to have WSR bring the play to my hometown – and even moreso that Michele [Vazquez] will finally be playing the role that she helped to

In May 2016, Hathaway announced she had secured the film rights to Brant’s one-woman drama. The Oscar-winning actress will star in and produce a film adaptation of “Grounded” with Entertainment 360 and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment.

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is not the indestructible mutant he once was in “Logan.”

OPENING FRIDAY

‘Logan’: The Wolverine movie Jackman deserved

By DAVID BETANCOURT The Washington Post

Few superhero performances are as beloved as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, which helped give birth to this current era of superhero movies back in 2000’s “X-Men.” But Jackman hasn’t had as much luck with his solo outings.

It is fitting, however, that in “Logan,” his last film as the most famous X-Man around, Jackman will make fans wish he wasn’t hanging up his six claws for good.

That wasn’t the case with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (2009), Jackman’s first solo Wolverine movie, which botched the adaptation of Wolverine’s secret origin as a young, sickly and wealthy 19th century Canadian boy named James Howlett who later would mutate into an indestructible force. “Origins” was a failed attempt to build a Wolverine/X-Men-inspired movie universe that included other mutants. To put it another way, after “Origins,” no one was asking for more of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, which is hard to believe now as fans anticipate “Deadpool 2.”

“The Wolverine” (2013) was an intimate look into Wolverine’s time in Japan, but didn’t leave fans asking for another movie.

At first glance, “Logan” looks like an attempt to remove Wolverine from his comic book roots and make a more grounded movie to appeal to a general audience, and not just the fanboys who have made it possible for three Wolverine movies to be made. But the core of what makes “Logan” Jackman’s best solo effort was the decision by director James Mangold and Jackman to take inspiration from two very popular Wolverine storylines from the comic books: 2008’s “Old Man Logan” (by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven) and the creation of X-23,

“LOGAN” STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen PLOT: In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hideout on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.

RATED: R for strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 17 minutes a young female clone of Wolverine (created by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost) who first appeared in Marvel’s “NYX” series in 2004.

The “old man” approach, in a distant, almost mutant-less future where Wolverine finally is starting to show signs of aging, helps counteract the one thing that always makes Wolverine movies so hard to plot: his near invulnerability from constantly healing. In “Logan,” an older Wolverine doesn’t heal like he used to, which allows Jackman to show a type of pain we’re not accustomed to seeing.

Alcohol becomes a new way for Wolverine to heal.

Jackman’s brilliant last dance as Wolverine is equaled by a scene-stealing performance from young actress Dafne Keen as Laura/X-23. Laura just wants to be a child, but being the genetic copy of Wolverine gives her no such youthful luxuries. It’s arguable X-23 is the best part of “Logan,” showing Jackman’s devotion to telling the best Wolverine story he could without demanding all the glory.

The R rating brings something new as well. “Deadpool’s” success with the

rating is probably what encouraged the filmmakers to unleash a violent character with R-rated potential who had been trapped in a PG-13 comic book movie world. A link to those “X-Men” movies of the past in “Logan” is Patrick Stewart, who, surprisingly, also benefits from an R rating. Professor Xavier is uncensored in his old age. “Logan” gets its compassion from the moments when Wolverine does his best to make Professor X comfortable. Professor X, when he does have control of his mind, scolds Wolverine for wasting his heroic potential and pleads with him to take on parental responsibility for Laura.

Boyd Holbrook (“Narcos”) easily is the most compelling adversary Jackman has had in a Wolverine movie, via his performance as Pierce, a man on the hunt for X-23. Pierce’s sly southern charm while hunting Wolverine and X-23 on the U.S./Mexican border masks his brutal lack of compassion for a child created to be a weapon.

Whereas Professor X and eventually Logan look at X-23 as a child deserving of some type of normal life, Pierce just sees a puppy who ran away.

Being a heavily armed and guarded southern gentleman isn’t enough when tracking not one, but two Wolverines, so Pierce has to bring in a secret weapon to get the job done. It’s a blast from Wolverine’s past, who we won’t reveal, but was really the only person who could attempt to take down Wolverine and his clone, setting up an epic final release of the claws.

“Logan” is Jackman as Wolverine at his best in a movie that will leave you wanting more. He gave Twentieth Century Fox the prototype cinematic superhero for years, and in return, the studio finally gave him the right Wolverine movie in the end.

More Content Now Born in England, raised in Australia, and these days, mostly living on the road with a bag of clothing and a bag of books, moving from acting job to acting job, Sam Worthington has been building up a résumé of tough guy roles.

He started out a decade and a half ago with all sorts of Australian-based movies and episodic TV work, eventually landed small parts in American films, and hit the big time when he played the android Marcus Wright in “Terminator Salvation.”

He was Perseus in both “Clash of” and “Wrath of the Titans,” and recently had the small, but significant, role of Captain Glover in “Hacksaw Ridge.” But Worthington has been seen by most audiences in “Avatar.”

In Worthington’s newest film, “The Shack,” based on the William P. Young novel, he’s Mack Phillips, a regular guy with a close family, whose faith is shattered after a tragedy, and he begins

a journey on the long road to healing.

Worthington, 40, spoke about the film and the character by phone from Los Angeles.

Symkus: You’re known for being an avid reader. Was “The Shack” in your bag of books?

Worthington: No. I knew of it, be-

cause it was on the bestseller list. But I hadn’t read it, then I read it several times after reading the script, just to mine it and see that we were getting everything that worked. You obviously can’t put the whole book into a 2-hour movie, but I wanted everyone to know that the actual themes were the same, and that we were on point.

Symkus: This script has been around for a few years. How did it get on your radar?

Worthington: The producer Gil

Netter saw me in “Cake” [in which he played the husband of a woman who committed suicide]. He thought there was something in the grounded nature of how I approached grief in that film, and that made him think it would be a good thing for Mack. He sent me the

script, I read it, then the next day I said to him, ‘I don’t know why I want to do this. Normally you do it for the actor or the paycheck or the location or something like that. But this caused a visceral, emotional reaction in me, so whatever it takes, I’d like to be involved.’

and frustration that we build and we’re living in our lives. And the book, like the Bible, shows you ways to navigate through that and let it go through forgiveness of others and yourself. I knew that I could identify with that message and didn’t need to be religious to appreciate that.

religious, and I don’t come from a heavy Christian background. A mate of mine gave me a Bible when I was 19 and said, ‘Read this, it might calm you down a bit.’ But apart from that, religion has been a relationship where, if anything, I’m still trying to figure out where I sit with it. There were themes in the book and the movie that I could relate to, like forgiveness. “The Shack” is a parable for all the guilt and anger

person. I believe in hope, and I believe we’re here in a positive light in this world. And I think Mack believes that.

But sometimes you get clouded and caught in situations in your life that can stop your growth. We’ve all been through that: A search for hope, a search for ease and calm. In the movies I’ve made, even in “Avatar,” it’s about a young guy rebelling against the planet, but he’s searching for calm. I think that’s something that might be in me.

Symkus: Did you have any second thoughts about doing such a religionheavy film?

Worthington: Never. I wasn’t raised

Symkus: Is there a specific piece of Mack that you really identified with?

Worthington: I’m not a nihilistic

Exterior home improvements yield higher ROI for less money, report shows (BPT) - Renovation season is approaching. Do you know what home improvements will give you the best return for your money? Here’s a hint: step outside.

You might assume upgrades to interior spaces like kitchens and bathrooms have the best payoff, but most home improvements don’t return 100 percent of their value at the time of resale. Those that yield the best return on investment for the most modest costs are generally exterior improvements.

Outside the box Interior projects like a minor kitchen renovation or bathroom upgrade

return a decent percentage of your initial investment when you sell your home - about 80 percent and 65 percent, respectively, according to Remodeling’s Cost vs. Value report.

However, they can also cost tens of thousands of dollars.

By contrast, exterior projects like adding a deck or replacing a garage door deliver similar high rates of return, but for far less cost. Adding a composite deck can cost around $17,000 and yield an ROI of more than 65 percent, while a garage door typically costs less than $2,000 and returns nearly 77 percent of your investment when you sell.

In fact, six of the eight improvements

Adding a composite deck to your home can return up to 65% of your investment when you go to sell, according to a new report. Capped composites, like the Envision Distinction boards by TAMKO Building Products as seen on this Colorado Custom Decks project, are one of the hottest trend in composite decking right now.

with the best ROI on Remodeling’s report were exterior projects, and their average payback was nearly 75 percent.

Here are popular exterior projects 06 that offer high ROI, according to the & Melin Cost vs. Value report:

Continued from the previous page replacement costs approximately $20,000 and returns nearly 69 percent of the investment. What’s more, a new roof helps protect your entire home from weather damage and can improve curb appeal. * Composite deck addition - Costs vary, but Remodeling bases its evaluation of ROI on a cost of about $17,000.

At that price, adding a composite deck delivers ROI of 65.2 percent. Of course, the value of your deck will depend on many factors, including the quality of the building products you choose. Capped board composites, like Envision Decking by TAM-

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Thursday, March 2, 2017 • KO Building Products, are gaining popularity. Envision Inspiration, the latest in the TAMKO collection, was introduced in late 2016, and features striking color patterns for a visual effect that’s as appealing as the financial ROI of composite decking.

garage doors may lack modern insulating qualities and a shabby-looking door can drag down the look of your home. Replacing the garage door costs roughly $1,700 and returns nearly 77 percent of that amount at the time of resale.

* Siding replacement - Another exterior feature that protects the whole home and greatly affects its curb appeal, new siding can cost around $14,500. When you sell your home, that new siding will recoup about 76 percent of your initial investment.

* Steel entry door - The single exterior home improvement with the greatest ROI is also one of the cheapest and easiest to do. Replacing a wooden door with a steel entry door will run you about $1,400 and you’ll recoup more than 90 percent of that cost when you sell your home.

Exterior home improvements not only enhance your enjoyment of your home and help maintain its security, they’re also the first things potential buyers see when they pull up to the curb. When you want to make cost-effective, high-ROI improvements, making exterior upgrades is money well spent.

JOBS ANNOUNCEMENTS STUFF VEHICLES REAL ESTATE SERVICES LEGALS Northwest Herald Classified and online at: NWHerald.com

Robert L. Schwartz, a prominent lawyer, said, “The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer. He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it, he sees exactly how to make it happen.”

The other day, one of my students said to me, “You can visualize where the cards are. I find that impossible to do.”

It is true -- mentally seeing the cards in an opponent’s hand makes it easier to visualize how the play will proceed. In this deal, it was not hard for South to see where the missing honor cards lay, but East could have set a small trap for declarer.

South was in three no-trump.

How should he have played after West led the spade six?

Declarer began with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Given that only 12 high-card points were missing -- you did count those, didn’t you? -the heart finesse was clearly winning.

If a second diamond winner could be found, perhaps by endplaying East, then the contract would succeed.

South ducked the first spade trick and took the second, seeing that West began with a doubleton. Declarer cashed his three club winners, and East discarded the diamond seven. Then, after taking three heart tricks with the aid of the finesse, South led his last spade. East took three winners in the suit, but at Trick 12 had to lead away from the diamond king-jack into dummy’s acequeen.

East should have thrown the diamond jack, not the seven, trying to look like someone who began with 5-4-2-2 distribution. It probably wouldn’t have worked, but it was worth a try.
