Attorneys in the Casey Anthony case listen to Judge Belvin Perry during a hearing Aug. 5, 2011, at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando, Fla. In a Wednesday interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Perry said Anthony may have been trying to quiet the child, Caylee, with chloroform and accidentally used too much.

TODAY’S TALKER

Judge: Casey Anthony may have accidentally killed her daughter

By MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – The judge who presided over the acquittal of Casey Anthony in a murder trial televised live around the world said Thursday that an accidental killing is the most logical explanation for her 2-year-old daughter’s death.

Former Judge Belvin Perry Jr. told The Associated Press that the theory that makes the most sense to him now, based on the evidence presented at trial in 2011, is that Anthony accidentally used too much chloroform while trying to quiet Caylee, and the infant died.

“You have a child that can become cranky, that you want to go to sleep. That is a simple way to do it,” said Perry, who is now in private practice. “What we tend to forget is, chloroform was used to render people unconscious long before we had anesthesia.”

Asked to respond Thursday, one of her attorneys, Cheney Mason, said: “I’ve got your response: She was acquitted.”

Anthony, now 30, was acquitted of first-degree murder and convicted of misdemeanor counts of lying to law enforcement after defense attorney Jose Baez told jurors that the toddler accidentally drowned in the family pool.

Prosecutors said Anthony used chloroform and then suffocated the child by putting duct tape over her mouth. The toddler’s remains were found five months after she disappeared, in a

wooded area not far from where the Anthonys lived. Authorities were never able to establish the cause of death.

“I’m disturbed that Mr. Perry would once again go to the press with his thoughts about the case. There is no reason for him to do that,” Mason said. “I don’t know what motivated Mr. Perry to do this or why. All I can say is: Everybody is entitled to an opinion.”

Florida’s Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits judges from making public comments about any pending cases, but it says nothing about former judges talking about cases that are over. A 2011 opinion by Florida’s Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee said nothing in the code restricts a judge from talking about a high-profile case once it is finished.

Perry said the case came up this week only because he was asked about it by a reporter from a community newspaper who was interviewing him for an unrelated story. Other local media then made inquiries about his theory.

Perry said the chloroform theory is one of several regarding Caylee’s death he has been examining since he began reviewing trial transcripts at the time of last summer’s fifth anniversary of the trial.

“You can’t say what happened because you weren’t there, but you can talk about the probabilities,” Perry said. “Then you can assign whatever weight you want to a theory, and you ask yourself, ‘What is more logical?’ ”

Union, Marengo schools partnership offers students hands-on learning

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com UNION – Students at Evergreen Academy in Union now are participating in hands-on learning through a new partnership with Marengo High School.

The program allows students to spend an hour each day at Marengo High School to learn job skills and training, such as 3-D printing and robotics.

The program was funded through a $40,000 Illinois pilot grant.

Regional Superintendent Leslie

Schermerhorn said school officials applied for and received the funding last year, and they worked with Marengo High School teachers and administrators to establish the program and develop the curriculum. The grant helps pay for the instructor, materials and busing for students each day.

McHenry County students from various area schools attend classes at Evergreen Academy as part of an alternative education program. The Regional Safe Schools Program of McHenry County is designed for students in grades six

through 12 who have been suspended or who face expulsion. The school also is open to students who have been involved in repetitive conduct or otherwise cannot attend their designated school anymore. The school typically has a class of 20 students but has had as many as 40 at one time.

Schermerhorn said the program aims to increase motivation and attendance at school.

“They can’t sit at a desk all day, because that’s counterproductive for many of them,” she said.

Students officially began the program at the beginning of the school year and have attended classes every day at Marengo High School unless there’s a scheduled holiday or day off.

Byron Stingily, principal and regional director at Evergreen Academy, said the program has boosted morale for many of the students, and regular attendance has increased significantly – a factor officials attribute to the students’ excitement about the program.

First Congregational Church of Huntley, which owns an old schoolhouse-turned-apartment building on Main Street, has said it will be knocking down the apartments. Some people are upset about this because they feel it’s part of Huntley’s history. Tenants moved out in October.

Demolition plans for ex-school, apartment building spark outcry Huntley church is losing money on the property

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – A post on the Huntley Historical Society’s Facebook page stating that the former school-turned-apartment building at 11624 Main St. will be knocked down has caused residents to speak out against the owner’s plans.

First Congregational Church of Huntley, which has owned the property for the past decade, intends to demolish the building, but there’s no set date on when that will happen, the church’s council President Jeff Peterson said.

Eight tenants vacated the apartments in October after the church decided to close the property because it was losing money on it, Peterson said.

The church had always planned on demolishing the building, he said, and most historical aspects of it were compromised when previous owners turned the school

into apartments.

“It’s not the best scenario for everybody, but we don’t have the money for it,” Peterson said on continuing to maintain the building. “Bottom line, everything comes down to money, and that’s just not something we have the luxury of having.”

Because the church can’t afford to build on the land, the site likely will remain open once the building is knocked down, Peterson said.

No demolition permits have been issued for the property, and the building does not have landmark status or any historic designations, said Charles Nordman, Huntley’s director of development services.

Jake Marino, secretary with the nonprofit Huntley Historical Society, said the original portion of the school was built in 1875 and added to in 1909. In about 1955, the school was turned into apartments, he said.

“A building like this has been a staple in the town square,” Marino said.

The post on the Huntley Historical Society’s Facebook page regarding the school generated more than 45 comments

from people unhappy with the church’s plans. Some also commented on First Congregational Church of Huntley’s Facebook page, asking the church to reconsider tearing down the building.

Lifelong Huntley resident Jenny Thackwray said her aunt attended the school, and the thought of the building being demolished is “devastating.”

“We don’t have anything left in Huntley,” Thackwray said.

Marino said the society does not have the ability to mark a building as a landmark. A site receives historic district or landmark designation when someone completes an application for it, and the Huntley Historic Preservation Commission then forwards a recommendation to the Huntley Village Board for approval, according to the village’s website.

A property owner can object to a designation, which places restrictions on changes to the building, according to the website.

“I’d hope that the church would change their mind about removing a building that people have such a passion for,” Marino said.

Man convicted in Algonquin heroin OD death plans appeal

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Zion man sentenced to 28 years in prison on a drug-induced homicide charge in connection with an Algonquin woman’s heroin overdose death has taken the first steps to appeal his case.

James F. Linder’s attorney, Hank Sugden, filed a notice of appeal Thursday on behalf of his client. Sugden said Linder has been in McHenry County Jail custody for the past 2½ years and does not have the funds to hire an appellate attorney. Judge Sharon Prather appointed an appellate public defender.

Linder, 37, was sentenced Feb. 24 on the Class X felony after a jury found him guilty of selling more than one gram of heroin to Cody N. Hillier on Jan. 30, 2015, in Zion. Hillier and his then-girlfriend, Danielle Barzyk, 21, used the drugs more than once and returned to Algonquin, where they both

then lived.

Barzyk told Hillier she was having trouble breathing just before 1 a.m. and needed medical attention. The two went to the Algonquin James F. Police Department and Linder called 911 after they realized the building was closed. When police and emergency responders arrived, they asked Hillier if Barzyk had taken anything, and he did not tell them she had taken drugs until later.

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

Linder was arrested one day after Barzyk’s death, when Hillier agreed to work with the North Central Narcotics Task Force and bought more heroin from Linder in a police-controlled sting buy at a Walmart in Zion. Linder was pulled over after the alleged drug deal, and officers found the money Hillier was given to buy the drugs,

Linder’s wallet, a cellphone and additional cash.

Before Linder’s sentencing hearing in February, Sugden had asked for a new trial. He said the case should have been tried in Lake County because the drugs were bought and some of the drugs were used in that county.

Prather denied the motion and said the case could be tried in McHenry County because drugs were consumed there and that’s where Hillier and Barzyk returned the evening of Barzyk’s death.

Sugden also previously argued in 2015 that the case should be moved out of McHenry County because there were too few blacks in the area for Linder to be tried by a jury of his peers.

There were no black jurors on the panel during jury selection. About 1.6 percent of the McHenry County population is black, according 2015 U.S. Census Bureau statistics.

Linder is required to serve 75 percent of his 28-year sentence, according to Illinois law.

Changes coming to paying for Crystal Lake downtown commuter parking

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The city is phasing out its reloadable parking cards for downtown commuter parking and switching its pay-by-phone mobile app.

As of March 1, the only way to reload parking cards is at the reload station inside the Metra station itself.

The parking cards will work for daily fee parking through the end of the year – starting in 2018, commuters will be able to pay for parking at the pay

stations, through a mobile app or by buying a new prepaid pass.

The city made the decision to phase out the reloadable cards last month after learning that the software for the downtown parking pay terminals is at the end of its operational life and the manufacturer no longer provides updates.

Sporadic problems have since been reported of commuters getting tickets despite having paid, and the City Council balked at the idea of paying $160,000 to replace all 14 downtown terminals. Metra installed the machines

in 2006.

The city now uses the Passport app for pay-by-phone parking, replacing the Parkmobile app. The new app can hold between $15 and $75, and automatically can be replenished from the holder’s account. The convenience fee per transaction for the new app is 32 cents, which is slightly cheaper than the 37 cents that Parkmobile charged.

The prepaid parking passes will go on sale June 1. Although the passes show that drivers can park in the commuter area, they do not guarantee a spot.

Amid closings, local hhgregg to stay open NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Although the company announced plans Thursday to close three distribution facilities and 88 stores, the Crystal Lake hhgregg will remain open.

The home appliances, electronics and furniture store announced the closures, which include six locations in

Illinois – Schaumburg, Bloomingdale, Arlington Heights, Niles, Springfield and Champaign.

“We are strategically exiting markets and stores that are not financially profitable for us,” Robert J. Riesbeck, hhgregg’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “This is a proactive decision to streamline our store footprint in the markets where we have been, and will

continue to be, important to our customers, vendor partners and communities.

We feel strongly that the markets we will remain in are the right ones for our customers and our business model.”

Final closing of the stores, which are listed on a news release from hhgregg, are expected to be complete by mid-April. Closings will result in the elimination of about 1,500 jobs.

Local veterans honored at Everyday Heroes Breakfast

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Marine veteran Rich Walkowiak wasn’t expecting to see his son, Colton, or his two military friends, Thomas Kimrey and Phillip Coble, on Thursday morning.

However, the three flew to Illinois from various states to see Walkowiak receive an award honoring his services to veterans in the community.

“They surprised me,” Walkowiak said. “I had no idea they would be here until I walked in this morning. It was great that they were here.”

Walkowiak was one of 21 people to receive an Everyday Hero award during the Northwest Herald’s Everyday Heroes 2017 Breakfast. The event took place Thursday morning at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake, where hundreds of people came to celebrate the selfless efforts of McHenry County veterans and those who help veterans.

The event’s keynote speaker was retired Col. JD Willis, who led intelligence activities during his time in the Air Force.

Willis was commissioned in 1989 and began his military career in Texas. While Willis was in the Air Force, he was stationed at

more than a dozen bases before he and his family eventually settled in Crystal Lake in July 2015. That same year, Willis retired from active duty after 26 years of service and became the owner of the Chick-fil-A restaurant in Crystal Lake.

“This is a very special community,” Willis said.

In his presentation, Willis said there are about 700,000 veterans in Illinois, and 18,000 of them live in McHenry County.

“We have people in our group who just saw the need for people to be aware of veterans,” Willis said. “[We have] those who gave a voice to veterans by either telling their stories for them or helping them tell their stories.

“Thank you for being a community where this can happen, where you’ve woven together the fabric of humanity, brotherhood and love in such a way that you can take time like this and honor those who spend their lives in the service of others,” Willis said.

Willis also addressed how veterans want to receive little recognition for their actions, but said they deserve to be recognized.

“In this room, we have 21 people, and I think maybe even more, that we’re stopping, and we’re looking at, and we’re saying thank you to – because they’re

doing the same thing that those of more notoriety have done,” Willis said.

After Willis’ speech, Kevin Lyons, managing editor of the Northwest Herald, read a short biography of each recipient, while Jim Ringness, general manager of the Northwest Herald, and Bob Cormier, Home State Bank’s executive vice president, handed out the awards.

Those honored were Raleigh Showens, Joe Kersten, Nicole Eisenrich, Richard Young, Chuck Veach, Dick Hattan, Thomas Morrissey, Butch Borchardt, Loreen Keller, Joy Aavang, Everett H. Pratt Jr., Ron Bykowski, George Braun, Helen White, Raymond Andresen, Chris Christensen, Joe McLachlan, Randy Granath, Ed Beckstrom, Ray Rudden and Rich Walkowiak.

“I just like to help and do my part,” Walkowiak said. “I can’t say that I don’t enjoy doing these things, but, I mean, I don’t do it for this type of recognition. I just like helping. But I’m still very thankful to receive this and be part of this community.”

Also helping to make the Everyday Heroes Breakfast possible were event sponsors Home State Bank, senior lifestyle community Fox Point, Apple Creek Flowers and From Me 2 You Photography.

Richmond-Burton District 157 board to discuss layoffs

nlinhart@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – The Richmond-Burton Community High School District 157 board is holding a public hearing March 15 to consider reducing staff.

The hearing will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Richmond-Burton Community High School library, 8311 N. Route 31, Richmond.

“The recommendation is based on the school’s declining student enrollment. The same number of teachers are not needed in order to provide the same student programs and classes,” said Superintendent Dan Oest, who is retiring at the end of the school year and will be replaced by Principal Thomas Lind.

Oest said the total amount of full-time equivalent positions that might be reduced is 2.6 teacher positions, which would take place for the 2017-18 school year. The district has 56 teachers, and 54 of them are full-time, Oest said.

Earlier this year, administrators began looking at staffing, programs and enrollment for the coming school year. According to a recent enrollment report, the district has 711 students this school year and is expecting 661 next fall, which is about an 8 percent decline. The enrollment forecast projects 465 students by the 2028-29 school year.

Oest said that pending layoffs would not affect student course offerings and programs.

WALWORTH, Wis. – A Harvard man was killed in a two-car crash Thursday morning near Walworth, Wisconsin.

About 6:44 a.m., Walworth County Sheriff’s deputies and Walworth fire and rescue units were dispatched to a crash at Route 14, south of the village of Walworth, according to a news release from the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office.

A 2001 Hyundai, driven by 39-year-old Luis Gutierrez-Fernandez of Harvard was driving north on Route 14 when it lost control on icy pavement and crossed into the southbound lane, hitting a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, police said.

The driver of the Chevrolet Avalanche, a 59-yearold man from Fontana, Wisconsin, was sent to a local hospital with injuries, police said.

Gutierrez-Fernandez was pronounced dead at the scene by the Walworth County Medical Examiner’s Office, police said. There were no passengers in either vehicle.

Walworth, Fontana and Sharon police also responded, as did Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center’s MD-1 and Paratech Ambulance Service. The crash remains under investigation by the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office Crash Investigation Unit.

8 Crash causes power

outages in Cary area

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – A vehicle versus pole crash Thursday night closed a portion of Rawson Bridge Road at South Rawson Bridge Road and caused power outages in the area.

About 6:50 p.m., the Cary Fire Protection District was called to the intersection, Cary Fire Capt. Carl Boni said. When crews arrived, the pole was down in the road and power lines surrounded the vehicle, Boni said.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said a 2013 Toyota SUV swerved off the road to avoid a stopped vehicle before crashing into the utility pole. A 57-year-old Cary woman was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was cited for improper lane use, Knop said.

Knop could not immediately provide the woman’s name.

ComEd shut down power in the area before the woman safely exited the vehicle, Boni said. The woman was not injured, and the vehicle suffered minor damage, Boni said.

“You have so many kids with different talents and skill sets.

I believe they should be exposed to as many different opportunities that they possibly can so they can find their way in life. ...”

Byron Stingily, Evergreen Academy principal and regional director

• HANDS-ON LEARNING

“You have so many kids with different talents and skill sets. I believe they should be exposed to as many different opportunities that they possibly can so they can find their way in life and figure out what they are good at,” he said.

Dylan Staggs, a 15-year-old student at Evergreen Academy, said he has had the opportunity to work on things he never thought he’d be able to do, including 3-D printing and robotics.

“I like hands-on activities – it really challenges the mind,” he said.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Evergreen Academy student Henry Koehl of Ringwood checks the connections on his robot project Feb. 21 during a class at Marengo High School.

The partnership also helps to educate students and teachers about alternative schools and their purpose in communities, Stingily said.

“When you say ‘alternative school,’ people have all kinds of negative connotations,” he said. “Alternative does not mean that the kids are low-functioning.”

Schermerhorn said she plans to reapply for the grant if it’s available in the spring. Staff at Evergreen Academy also are working to have every student hired for a part-time

job by the end of spring break. In addition to gaining job skills, students also will receive a grade for their time working.

The goals of these practical learning programs are to provide students with tools and knowledge they can use at their school and beyond.

“When students return back to their home schools, we are hoping to see them have more discipline and hope they can maintain their jobs or take courses to learn new skills,” Schermerhorn said.

by Beaver himself. Beaver was a member of NSRA and Good Guys Rod & Custom. Beaver participated in the Hot Rod Power Tour as a long hauler, visiting many parts of the country and making numerous friends along the way.

Caterpillar offices raided in probe

Investigation might be related to Swiss unit

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Federal law enforcement officials raided three central Illinois facilities of manufacturer Caterpillar on Thursday as part of an investigation the company said might be related to business with its Swiss subsidiary, CSARL. Officials from three federal agencies, some wearing jackets that said “police, federal agent,” searched the Peoria headquarters of Caterpillar, one of the world’s largest makers of construction and other heavy equipment. Facilities in East Peoria and Morton also were raided under a federal warrant, U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Sharon Paul said.

“We believe the execution of this search warrant is regarding, among other things, export filings that relate to the CSARL matter,” Caterpillar said in a statement later Thursday, referring to its Swiss subsidiary.

Caterpillar spokeswoman Corrie Heck Scott said in an email that the company was cooperating with law enforcement.

Rauner touring damage for 2nd day after tornadoes

CROSSVILLE – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner plans to survey storm damage in White County, which was among the areas hit hard by Midwest storms that spawned tornadoes.

Rauner’s visit to southern Illinois on Thursday came after a tour Wednesday of storm damage in central Illinois including Ottawa, where an uprooted tree killed a 76-year-old man and his son-in-law.

In White County, an apparent tornado of undetermined strength near the town of Crossville killed a 71-year-old man and injured his wife. The White County Coroner’s Office said Thomas McCord had sought shelter in an outbuilding near his home before being killed by the storm.

The exact reason for the raid was unclear, but Caterpillar told the Securities

and Exchange Commission in a filing last month that the IRS had notified the company it owed $2 billion more in taxes for the years 2010 to 2012 because of profits from its Swiss unit. Caterpillar said it would “vigorously contest” the tax bill.

Illinois man dies, raising storm death toll to 4

OTTAWA – A northern Illinois man has died after being struck by a tree during a powerful Midwestern storm, raising the death toll for the regional storms to four.

Peoria County’s coroner said 31-year-old David A. Johnson of Ottawa died Wednesday of severe head trauma at a Peoria hospital.

Johnson was in a backyard with his spouse and father-in-law Tuesday when the storm uprooted a tree that landed on them. His 76-year-old father-in-law, Wayne Tuntland, was killed. His spouse was treated at a hospital.

Seventy-one-year-old Thomas McCord also died Tuesday when an apparent tornado struck a building in Crossville, in southern Illinois.

In Missouri, officials said 24-year-old Travis Koenig of Perryville was killed when a tornado blew his vehicle off Interstate 55. Forecasters said the tornado, which damaged more than 100 homes, had wind speeds between 139 mph and 165 mph.

Senate spells out proposed services for sales tax

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois would charge sales tax on storage lockers, private detectives, lawn care and body piercing under legislation introduced in the Senate on Thursday.

It was the only development in the Capitol a day after Democrats called an acrimonious halt to consideration of a plan engineered to break through a two-year budget deadlock with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Sponsoring Sen. Toi Hutchinson added a list of “taxable services” to already contentious tax legislation. Democrats propose increasing the income tax to battle a multibillion-dollar deficit wrought of a government limping along on court-ordered spending that has outstripped revenue for nearly two years.

The measure would extend the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax to self-storage units, including storage in apartments tenants pay for and lockers rented at amusement parks and recreational facilities. Lawn and garden

Caterpillar said.

Two years ago the SEC notified Caterpillar that it was conducting an “informal investigation” relating to CSARL and asked the company to preserve relevant documents.

SEC spokesmen in Washington declined to comment Thursday.

A 2014 report by U.S. Senate Democratic staff said that Caterpillar had avoided paying $2.4 billion in U.S. taxes since 2000 by shifting profits to the affiliate in Switzerland.

The report said Caterpillar paid PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP $55 million to develop the tax strategy. Under the strategy, Caterpillar transferred the rights to profits from its parts business to a wholly controlled Swiss affiliate called CSARL, although no employees or business activities were moved to Switzerland, the report said.

In exchange, CSARL paid a small royalty, and the income was taxed at a special rate of 4 percent to 6 percent that Caterpillar negotiated with the Swiss government, the report said.

Before the arrangement, 85 percent of the profits from the parts business were taxed in the U.S., the report said. Afterward, only 15 percent of the profits were taxed in the U.S. The rest was taxed at the special rate in Switzerland, the report said.

Chrystal Musgrove also said the five gunshot wounds her boxer-pit bull mix, Harley, suffered were excessive.

She told The State Journal-Register that Harley’s death was especially hard on her 9-year-old son. She said Harley was just doing his job as a guard dog.

He got out of his cage and jumped a fence Monday. Harley attacked and injured a police dog as officers were searching for two suspects in a store robbery.

Deputy Chief Dennis Arnold of the Springfield Police Department said in an email that an officer shot Harley because he deemed it “necessary to protect the well-being of his canine partner.”

Sessions steps aside from Russia probe

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Under intensifying pressure, Attorney General Jeff Sessions abruptly agreed Thursday to recuse himself from any investigation into Russian meddling in America’s 2016 presidential election. He acted after revelations he twice spoke with the Russian ambassador during the campaign and failed to say so when pressed by Congress.

Sessions rejected any suggestion that he had tried to mislead anyone about his contacts with the Russian, saying, “That is not my intent. That is not correct.”

But he did allow that he should have been more careful in his testimony during his confirmation hearing, saying, “I should have slowed down and said, ‘But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times.’ ” The White House has stood

by Sessions in the latest controversy to dog President Donald Trump’s young administration, although officials said they first learned about his contacts with the ambassador from a reporter Wednesday night. Trump himself said Thursday he had “total” confidence in Sessions and didn’t think he needed to recuse himself – not long before he did.

Trump later laid the controversy at the feet of Democrats, saying they are trying to save face. “The Democrats are overplaying their hand,” he said in a statement Thursday night. “They lost the election, and now they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information.

It is a total witch hunt!”

One of Sessions’ conversations with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak occurred at a July event on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. At that same event, the ambassador also spoke with Carter Page,

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks during a news conference Thursday at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. Sessions said he will recuse himself from a federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 White House election. who briefly advised Trump’s campaign on foreign policy, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion.

Separately, a White House official said Thursday that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn met with Kislyak at Trump Tower in New York in December. The official described that sit-down as a brief courtesy meeting.

Flynn was fired last month for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Kislyak.

The Trump team’s account of Flynn’s contacts with the ambassador has changed several times. The White House did not disclose the in-person meeting, or Kushner’s involvement, until Thursday.

Both the White House official and the person with knowledge of Page’s discussion insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly disclose the meetings.

Trump has been trailed for months by questions about potential ties to Russia, and allegations of Russian efforts to interfere in the U.S. election to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. The new president and his campaign officials have

blamed such contentions on Democratic sore losers and have heatedly denied any contact with Russians concerning the election.

While there is nothing necessarily nefarious or even unusual about a member of Congress meeting with a foreign ambassador, typically members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee meet with foreign ambassadors, not Armed Services Committee lawmakers, such as Sessions, whose responsibility is oversight of the military and the Pentagon.

The latest development comes on the heels of what had been the high point of Trump’s young presidency: a well-received address to Congress Tuesday night that energized Republicans and appeared to wipe away some lawmakers’ concerns about the administration’s tumultuous start.

But Sessions faced a rising chorus of demands that he resolve the seeming contradiction between his two conversations in the summer and fall with Kislyak and his sworn statements to Congress in January, when he said he had not had communications with Russians during the campaign.

How to protest the immigration policy

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security presented an outline for a major change in immigration enforcement and detention that has the potential to harm everyone, including U.S. citizens.

The new policies put most of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country at risk of arrest and deportation, no matter how law-abiding or hard-working, no matter if they are parents of young children who are citizens or elderly infirm people who have been in this country – and paid taxes here – for decades.

The plan will triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to 15,000. It will also increase the number of detention centers. (The private prison industry is salivating over the new business).

The main weapon in the feds’ arsenal is heightened fear and suspicion and the potential for abuse of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which require “probable cause” for arrests and due process of law.

It’s already started. Detailed warnings on Facebook and Twitter of immigration checkpoints in various cities spread like wildfire after immigration raids across the country resulted in 680 arrests a couple of weeks ago. The rumors were false, but the panic was real, aggravated by reports of arbitrary and inhumane arrests. Officials have warned against scam artists posing as ICE agents seeking to extort money from people who are afraid for themselves or family members.

Children already are being kept out of school.

Colleges are bracing for immigration raids, and trying to reassure students that the institutions won’t cooperate. Some immigrants are seeking sanctuary in churches. This is not what most of us want. In a recent CBS poll, 73 percent of respondents said they did not want undocumented people to be deported, with 60 percent supporting a path to citizenship. At this point, however, what the American people want doesn’t matter. The president has wide powers over immigration and he continues to slander immigrants as “bad, bad people.”

But Philadelphia remains a “Fourth Amendment City,” a more apt description of policy than “Sanctuary City.” In the absence of warrants, local law enforcement won’t cooperate with federal immigration officials to detain undocumented immigrants who are in custody for nonviolent crimes.

In a conflict between ICE and the Constitution, we choose the Constitution.

Some Philadelphians are organizing to take action.

Last Friday, 200 people, mostly lawyers, jammed into the Loews Hotel to learn how they can provide pro bono legal aid to immigrants and refugees, a gathering sponsored by the city and the Philadelphia Bar Association.

In addition, about 1,300 people have signed up with nonprofit New Sanctuary Movement to be trained in how to respond nonviolently to ICE arrests, including peacefully disrupting them.

Trump reprises bleak America vision

President Donald Trump opened his first speech to a joint session of Congress in a conciliatory tone, declaring that he had come to “deliver a message of unity and strength” and proclaiming “a new surge of optimism” and “the renewal of the American spirit.”

But the sunny tone and a laudable condemnation of recent attacks on minorities soon gave way to the same dark and false vision of the country featured in the president’s grim inaugural address – one in which borders are open, drugs are pouring in, illegal immigrants prey on law-abiding Americans and globalization has impoverished vast swaths of the nation. When it came to specific policy proposals, Trump similarly offered a few encouraging signs – but many more reasons for skepticism.

In describing his bleak vision of a ruined United States exploited by foreigners, Trump wrote a series of checks he almost certainly cannot cash. He promised that “dying industries will come roaring back to life,” that “crumbling infrastructure will be replaced” and “our terrible drug epidemic will slow down and ultimately

stop.”

Encouragingly, Trump told news anchors before his address that he is open to an immigration reform that includes a pathway to legal status for undocumented people. Yet the president only obliquely referenced this head-turning position in his speech. Similarly, he called for new policy on childcare accessibility and family leave, as well as expanding drug “treatment for those who have become so badly addicted.” Yet repealing the Affordable Care Act, as he proposed, would likely make life much harder for those who need new family benefits and addiction treatment.

The president called to “restart the engine of the American economy,” in part by making it “much, much harder for companies to leave,” which implies ruinous protectionism or other government misdirection of investment.

Trump decried foreign duties on American goods after bragging that he tore up the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement that would have lowered those very duties.

Trump called for a $1 trillion “program of national rebuilding,” “one of the largest increases in

national defense spending in American history” and “massive tax relief for the middle class,” all issues on which he could work with Democrats. But he will have to find ways to finance these priorities that do not involve hollowing out the State Department, the Environmental Protection Agency and other essential government services.

In foreign policy, Trump mixed praise of the NATO alliance with bursts of isolationist and xenophobic rhetoric, claiming the U.S. had “defended the borders of other nations” but not its own. He made no mention of relations with Russia or China and offered no substantive indication of what his strategy would be for the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The ugliest moment in the 60-minute address came when Trump announced the formation of an office on “Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement,” and then introduced families of people allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants.

It was an appeal to raw prejudice and fear that will do nothing to promote the national unity he claims to be seeking.

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.

We all own the streets

To the Editor: In response to the recent letter from John Koss. He stated, “Protests everywhere. Why? Who is behind them?”

Mr. Koss then claims conservative Americans have been gnashing their teeth angrily for eight years.

The final lines in his submission were: “The left lost. The mainstream media is reeling. Hollywood is supposedly moving to Canada. Now it’s their turn to gnash teeth. But, please stay out of the streets.”

Wrong. The Electoral College elected Trump not the majority of Americans.

The “mainstream” media now has to try to figure out the truth from “alternative facts” being offered by the White House.

Even Fox News isn’t sure about Trump, ask Bill O’Reilly.

It isn’t just Hollywood that’s upset with what Trump’s doing. Russia is not our friend. Trump’s selection for National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, was just fired/resigned, after he lied.

Even Republicans are calling for investigations into the Russian connections and Kellyanne Conway’s continuing crazy

comments.

I’m a taxpayer, the streets belong to everyone. We won’t sit by and gnash our teeth in frustration.

Peaceful demonstration and civil disobedience without property damage are basic rights of our Constitution. Occupy and Tea Party demonstrations have had their day.

Now it’s time for the citizens of this great country regain their power. They won’t do it sitting in front of their televisions and computers. We all should be in the streets.

Can lacrosse survive in D-155?

To the Editor: On Monday, Feb. 13, 2017, the School District 155 board met to review Illinois High School lacrosse sanctioning for the four district high schools. Illinois High School Association is scheduled to sanction lacrosse in spring of 2018.

Administrators and businesses provided presentations, including turf field renova-

the former governor whom Democrats picked for an immediate rebuttal. The choice of Steve Beshear of Kentucky reflected the party’s calculation that hammering the new president on his health care intentions would make for good politics.

Under Beshear, the fairly conservative Kentucky became a poster state of sorts for its full embrace of the Affordable Care Act. It created its own insurance exchange under the law, known as Kynect, and expanded Medicaid. As a result, Kentucky achieved one of the biggest reduction in uninsured residents in the nation.

In a state of 4.4 million, 500,000 gained coverage because of Kynect – 80 percent of them through Medicaid.

In 2014, former President Barack Obama invited Beshear to sit in the first lady’s box during his State of the Union address as an Affordable Care Act success story. Beshear’s Republican successor, Gov. Matt Bevin, has dismantled the state-run insurance marketplace and is trying to redesign the state’s Medicaid expansion, in part by requiring able-bodied adults to have a job, or be looking for one, to qualify for benefits.

In his response to Trump’s speech, Beshear blasted the president, saying that “you and your Republican allies in Congress seem determined to rip

affordable health insurance away from millions of Americans who most need it.

“So far,” he continued, “every Republican idea to replace the Affordable Care Act would reduce the number of Americans covered, despite promises to the contrary. ...

These ideas promise access to care but deny the importance of making care affordable and effective. They would charge families more for fewer benefits and put insurance companies back in control.”

Beshear sought to reinforce the pain inflicted on some congressional Republicans last week during a recess in which town hall meetings were filled with angry constituents worried about losing their insurance coverage.

“Who are these 22 million Americans ... who now have health care that didn’t have it before?” he asked.

“They aren’t aliens from a distant planet. They’re our friends and neighbors. ... They’re farmers, restaurant workers, part-time teachers, nurses’ aides, construction workers and entrepreneurs working at high-tech startups.”

WASHINGTON – In his first address to a joint session of Congress – a high-wattage moment to articulate his central goals – President Donald Trump defied expectations he had repeatedly set he was about to unveil a concrete plan to abolish the Affordable Care Act and steer federal health policy onto a more conservative path.

The five minutes Trump devoted to health care Tuesday night largely was a recitation of longtime Republican ideas he has adopted, with an emphasis on removing the rules the Affordable Care Act placed on insurers to try to promote comprehensive health benefits.

“Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for our country,” the president said, aligning with the prevailing GOP view that consumers should be allowed to buy skimpier plans that could be sold at lower prices.

Yet Trump did not echo conservatives, including his Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who are eager to convert Medicaid and Medicare from entitlement programs to ones providing “defined contributions” to help low-income

and older Americans buy coverage.

He only briefly referred to giving states more latitude over Medicaid and made no mention of Medicare.

Trump reiterated the broad contours of changes he has espoused since his campaign, including greater reliance on health savings accounts and letting health insurance be sold more readily across state lines.

In eschewing specifics, however, the president seemed to underscore his confession a day earlier to the nation’s governors that he now knows replacing the Affordable Care Act is “an unbelievably complex subject. ...

Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.”

So as two House committees scramble to flesh out legislative details for the first blow to the sprawling 2010 law, and as White House aides disagree internally on how far to go, the president stopped short of fulfilling promises of an imminent health care plan – promises he made during the last stage of his campaign, the week before his inauguration and his first month in office.

Trump’s message, however, was emphatic: “Obamacare is collapsing – and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. Action is not a choice; it is a necessity.”

His tone was matched by that of

Drivers rebel against Uber’s price-cutting

By TOM KRISHER and SARAH SKIDMORE SELL The Associated Press

DETROIT – The face-off between Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and driver Fawzi Kamel illustrated a conflict between Uber, with its effort to grow by cutting prices to beat competitors, and drivers who have seen their pay reduced.

The video of the argument – caught on dashcam and now viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube – includes yelling and profanity, and ends with a combative Kalanick dismissing an agitated Fawzi’s claims that sharp reductions in fares forced the driver into bankruptcy.

Harry Campbell, who drives for Uber in California, said driver pay has gone down while Uber’s corporate valuation has grown to more than $60 billion. “I think a lot of drivers feel that Uber always looked out for themselves first and foremost and relegated drivers to a second tier,” he said.

“What we’re looking at in that video is 21st-century mobility technology and 19th-century labor relations,” said Harley Shaiken, a labor expert and professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

The video exchange comes after a month of trouble for the ride-hailing behemoth including sexual harassment allegations from a female engineer, a

t Greals Soi

lawsuit alleging technology theft, and a social media campaign encouraging riders to delete Uber’s app over claims that the company tried to capitalize when New York taxi drivers protested against President Trump’s immigration order.

Uber’s rivals claim that drivers have been defecting since Uber’s problems started piling up. Business experts expect more defections among Uber’s 400,000 drivers, and even some riders, after the Kalanick video, despite his public apology.

Some rivals boast of better pay for drivers, and some allow tips through their apps, unlike Uber.

Still, drivers said they get more business with Uber because of its greater size and reach.

In the dashcam video obtained by Bloomberg News, Kalanick and Kamel are seen discussing Uber’s business model. The driver for Uber’s luxury service, Uber Black, argues that Kalanick is lowering fares, costing him money.

Kalanick denied that Black fares had been cut, but conceded that prices were reduced for Uber’s general service, UberX, because of competition. “Otherwise you go out of business,” he said.

The 40-year-old CEO begins shouting as Kamel claims again the Uber Black prices were reduced. Kamel claims to have lost $97,000. “I’m bankrupt because of you.”

“Bull----!” Kalanick shouted. “Some

people don’t like to take responsibility for their own s---. They blame everything in their life on somebody else.

Good luck,” he said, slamming the door.

Campbell, the California driver, said most drivers aren’t surprised by Kalanick’s behavior. “We always knew that the CEO was pretty ruthless when it comes to drivers.”

Campbell, like a number of drivers, works for both Uber and its biggest rival, Lyft. He won’t stop driving for Uber, but may shift more business to Lyft.

Lyft said its ridership and driver applications have grown significantly since the first of the year, while Fasten, a smaller ride-hailing competitor in Boston and Austin, Texas, said its business has boomed since the “Delete Uber” campaign started in late January. Fasten said its ridership rose 25 percent in Boston the first week of the campaign. New riders are up 10 percent.

Amelia Serafine, a Ph.D candidate in Chicago, said she had been driving for both Uber and Lyft for about a year before deleting her Uber driver app in February after the sexual harassment allegations became public.

She was tempted to return to Uber for money to supplement her university stipend but decided against it when the

Kalanick video surfaced.

“The people (drivers) that I talk to already think that Uber treats them like garbage,” Serafine said. “That’s why the driver confronted the CEO.” Shaiken, the University of California professor, said Uber is squeezing its drivers on prices, refusing to recognize them as employees and dictating terms such as pricing without their input.

Uber declined comment on the controversies but points to a survey showing that 73 percent of its drivers don’t want to be employees. More than 60 percent drive fewer than 10 hours a week, the company said.

Uber said on its website that drivers are paid based on distance and time it takes to transport someone. In Los Angeles, for instance, that’s 15 cents per minute and 90 cents per mile during offpeak times. There’s also a $1.65 booking fee. A 9-mile trip from West Hollywood to Downtown would cost $15.

Uber said it takes roughly one-quarter of a fare.

Lyft would not answer specific questions about the same Los Angeles trip.

The company said it takes 20 percent to 25 percent of the fare. Each company also has incentives for drivers to carry more passengers.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein speaks at a news conference Wednesday in Baltimore to announce that seven Baltimore police officers who worked on a firearms crime task force are facing charges of stealing money, property and narcotics from people over two years.

The fallout had begun even before Finegar arrived at her office Thursday morning. Less than 24 hours after their surrender, a man waiting for her in the lobby said he’d been wrongfully arrested by one of the officers.

Prosecutors said in court Thursday that witnesses are “terrified” that the officers or their colleagues will retaliate

Debate prompts Garfield creator to clarify cat’s gender

Garfield’s gender has become the subject of an internet debate.

The Washington Post reported that Wikipedia locked changes on the animated cat’s page after the site’s volunteer editors battled over whether the animated cat is male or not.

The controversy bubbled up two years after Garfield creator Jim Davis told viral content site Mental Floss that as a cat,

Garfield is “not really male or female.”

Davis sought to clear up the controversy this week, telling the Post that “Garfield is male” and has a girlfriend named Arlene.

BALTIMORE – They were just seven officers on a police force of more than 3,000, but the Baltimore detectives charged with theft, fraud and conspiracy had an outsized crime-fighting role in a city plagued by violence.

The sweeping federal indictment calls into question each and every case touched by these men, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the city’s already fragile criminal justice system.

“It’s a nightmare,” said Natalie Finegar, Baltimore’s deputy public defender.

“There’s going to be hundreds and we’ll sort through every story.”

They were members of the Gun Trace Task Force, a unit dedicated to getting illegal guns off the streets of Baltimore, and were involved in hundreds of cases in the past two years. Federal prosecutors said they used their position to terrorize the community.

The indictment announced by U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein describes them threatening the innocent, detaining people on false pretenses, stealing their money, faking police reports, lying to investigators, defrauding their department, and flagrantly disregarding reform efforts by turning off their body cameras.

and kill” her,” Wise said.

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was not informed of the probe until the indictment was announced Wednesday, Rosenstein said. Shortly thereafter, her office issued a statement saying the charges would have “pervasive implications on active investigations and pending cases.”

Mosby told reporters Thursday that she hadn’t heard about a member of her staff communicating with the officers.

Melba Saunders, a spokeswoman for Mosby, later said in an email that her office “was not a part of the investigation that led to these indictments nor have we been made privy to any additional information or persons involved.” The email said all questions about the investigation should be directed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The officers charged with racketeering are detectives Momodu Gondo, Evodio Hendrix, Daniel Hersl, Wayne Jenkins, Jemell Rayam, Marcus Taylor and Maurice Ward. Gondo also is charged with participating in a drug conspiracy.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Gallagher ordered six of the officers to remain jailed pending trial because of the “egregious breach of public trust.” The seventh will have his detention hearing Friday.

The bump isn’t just Trump

By STAN CHOE

Trader Richard Cohen wears a “Dow 21,000” cap as he works Wednesday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Banks and other financial companies led U.S. stocks sharply higher, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average to close above 21,000 points for the first time.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – The stock market is hitting new heights, and yes, excitement about President Donald Trump’s policies is part of the reason for it. But it’s not the only one, analysts said.

Even if Trump had lost the election, many professional investors and analysts said they still would have expected stocks to rise, just perhaps not to the same degree. The Standard & Poor’s index has leapt 11.3 percent since Election Day, packing more gains into four months than it’s had in four of the past six full years. It dipped a bit Thursday, but it’s still close to its record set a day earlier.

Here’s a look at some of the factors behind the strong run for stocks:

Improvement was underway before ing goes, particularly big banks and

Trump entered the White House, but his election has spurred things along. Optimism among small businesses, for example, spiked higher after the election and is now at its highest level since 2004, according to surveys from the National Federation of Independent Business.

Confidence also jumped for regular households after the election, and consumer confidence is at its highest level since the summer of 2001. If that translates into more purchases at stores and elsewhere, it should drive even more economic growth.

Other economies around the world also are improving, raising expectations for profits of big U.S. companies, which do a lot of their business overseas.

Higher confidence all around

Confidence has spread even to regular investors.

After years of hiding out in bonds

and other safer investments, retail investors began creeping back into stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds after the election. Investors plugged $20.7 billion into U.S. stock funds in November, the biggest month in nearly two years. They’ve followed that up with more purchases. That buying has helped to bid up stocks even more.

Corporate profits are improving

Big businesses are finally earning bigger profits again.

Earnings per share for companies in the S&P 500 were nearly 6 percent higher last quarter than a year earlier, with nearly all of the companies reporting, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. It’s a sharp turnaround from a year ago, when low oil prices and other factors were pulling down profits for S&P 500 companies. Profit growth was particularly strong for technology and financial companies. Microsoft’s earnings rose on stronger sales of business software, for example, and investment banks reported a strong quarter for their trading operations.

But just as each of these pillars has helped to lift stocks in recent months, a weakening of any of them could remove some support. If tax cuts come later than expected, or if they end up being only minor ones, it could mean a drop for stocks.

Critics also worry that stock prices have run up at a time when they already were looking overpriced relative to their earnings.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Ellen DeGeneres is coming back to prime time, this time for fun and games.

NBC said Thursday it has ordered six episodes of an hour-long show hosted and produced by DeGeneres. It will feature “supersized” versions of games played on her daytime talk show.

The new show, titled “Ellen’s Game of Games,” will pull contestants from the audience and give one a chance to win what NBC described as a “huge” cash prize.

In a statement, DeGeneres promised “gigantic sets” and hilarious games.

Jackson’s Neverland Ranch back on market for $67M

AP photo

Priscilla Presley, former wife of Elvis Presley, speaks Thursday during the grand opening of the “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” complex in Memphis, Tenn.

Elvis Presley’s Graceland opens a new $45 million complex MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Nearly four decades after Elvis sang his last tune, his legacy got a $45 million boost with the Thursday opening of a major new attraction at his Graceland estate – an entertainment complex that Priscilla Presley said gives “the full gamut” of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

About 200 people streamed into “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” after the late singer’s wife cut a ribbon and allowed fans to see the $45 million complex for the first time.

Resembling an outdoor mall, the 200,000-square-foot campus sits across the street from Graceland, Presley’s longtime home-turned-museum. The complex features a comprehensive Presley exhibit with clothing he wore on stage and guitars he played; a showcase of the cars he owned and used; a soundstage; a theater; two restaurants and retail stores.

“You’re getting the full gamut of who Elvis Presley was,” Priscilla Presley said during an interview after the grand opening. “You’re getting to see and participate a bit in his life and what he enjoyed and what he loved to collect.”

It’s part of a $140 million expansion, which also includes a $90 million, 450room hotel that opened last year. The complex replaces the aging buildings that have housed Presley-related exhibits for years. An old, gray, strip-mall style visitor center will be torn down to make room for a greenspace along Elvis Presley Boulevard, the street that runs in front of the house.

Graceland has been updating its tourist experience. Visitors now use iPads for self-guided tours of the house. The new Guest House at Graceland, with modern amenities like glass-encased showers with wall-mounted body sprays and Keurig coffee makers in room, has replaced the crumbling Heartbreak Hotel, which is scheduled for demolition.

LOS OLIVOS, Calif. – Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is back on the market with an asking price of $67 million.

The 2,700-acre property near Santa Barbara, California, has been renamed Sycamore Valley Ranch. The listed price represents a significant cut from the $100 million it was on the market for last year.

In addition to a 12,500 square foot main residence and a 3,700 square foot pool house, the listing boasts a separate building with a 50-seat movie theater and a dance studio. Other features on the ranch are a “Disney-style” train station, a fire house and a barn.

Jackson sold the ranch to Colony Capital before his 2009 death for $22.5 million. Colony Capital is headed by Thomas Barrack, a confidant and fundraiser for President Donald Trump.

Chappelle debuts 2 comedy specials March 21 on Netflix

NEW YORK – Comedian Dave Chappelle is headed back to TV with his first concert specials in a dozen years – two of them. Both premiere March 21, exclusively on Netflix.

The hour-long specials are from his personal vault. “Dave Chappelle: The Age of Spin” was filmed at The Palladium in Los Angeles in March 2016. “Dave Chappelle: Deep in the Heart of Texas” was filmed at the Moody Theater in Austin in April 2015.

He’s on the road in preparation for a third Netflix special.

Chappelle’s comedy career includes movie roles in “The Nutty Professor,” “Con Air” and “Blue Streak.” In 2003, he achieved heightened fame and critical acclaim as the mastermind of his Comedy Central sketch series, “Chappelle’s Show,” only to abruptly exit the series in its third season.

Mr. T, Simone Biles to join McMurtry to sell typewriters ‘Dancing with the Stars’ used for ‘Lonesome Dove’ NEW YORK – Mr. T, Simone Biles and DALLAS – Larry McMurtry is selling the two typewriters he used to write his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Lonesome Dove.”

Heritage Auctions is offering up the typewriters in New York City next week. The Dallas-based auction house expects them to sell Wednesday for about $20,000.

McMurtry told The Associated Press he “just decided that it would be fun” to sell them at auction, “and I actually have too many typewriters.”

The author and screenwriter said he has about 15 typewriters and still writes on them.

Nancy Kerrigan are among the competitors for the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.”

ABC announced the cast for the 24th season of the reality competition on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.

Other cast members include former “Saturday Night Live” star Chris Kattan, current “Bachelor” Nick Viall and singer Charo.

This season also marks the return of dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd after welcoming their first child together earlier this year.

PARENTING

Worth the wait

Adopting a child from foster care wasn’t the plan, until it was

By TARA MONTGOMERY The Washington Post

Eight hundred thirty-two days.

Worth the wait.

My name is Tara Montgomery. I’m a single mother and an administrative secretary at a high school in Arizona – and, on Dec. 20, 2016, I officially adopted my 3-year-old son, Michael.

My first adopted child.

My daughter, who wanted to savor the moment, snapped a photograph of Michael, one victorious fist raised in the air, another hand holding a chalkboard with a few words written in marker: “Some things are worth the wait,” the sign read. “After 832 days in foster care, today I’m adopted.”

She posted the photograph on Twitter. More than 143,000 likes and 57,000 retweets later, my new son’s adoption – and the joy on his face at finally joining his forever family – went viral.

Michael first entered our lives as a foster child on Feb. 14, 2015. My decision to become a foster mother wasn’t easy (or quick). I never expected to become one. My daughters’ dad passed away in 2001, and I was a single mother raising three young daughters in a tumultuous economy.

But a few colleagues approached me: Are you willing to use your experience and speak with teenagers who have lost a parent? I said yes. I talked to them. I counseled them. As time went on, though, I began noticing more and more students who didn’t have anyone. My heart felt for these children and their circumstances. It’s not their fault – and it’s sad to see anyone in a situation where they’re moving through life without guidance from someone who loves them.

One day, after being approached by another colleague at the school where I work, my daughters and I made the choice. We were going to do what we could with what we had to make a difference to children who had nothing. I became a foster mother – and my daughters became foster sisters.

We welcomed three children into our family, one at a time, acknowledging each welcome would be temporary: a short-term relief for these kiddos whose immediate futures were unclear.

In early 2015, I received a phone call from the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which handles foster care in our state. “We need to move a little boy to a new home,” said the voice on the other end of the line. “Are you interested?”

Yes. We personally picked him up from the parking lot of a mall. Our fourth foster child, and his third foster home.

That Valentine’s Day in 2015, Michael joined our family in what we all assumed would be a temporary living situation in this 18-month-old boy’s transition to a more permanent home.

And that’s when everything changed.

I wasn’t looking to adopt a new child. I have three daughters to care for – and a baby granddaughter.

All we set out to do was to make sure kids without parents didn’t have to worry, if only for a short period of time, about what would happen to them.

Photo provided by Dae Brown

On Dec. 20, 3-year-old Michael celebrates his adoption.

There were plans in motion to reunite Michael with his biological mother, and I was proud of being able to give him relief until that happened.

The next 22 months went fast.

Michael’s presence brightened our lives as much as we hoped to brighten his life through fostering.

His laugh. His smile. His energy. It became a part of our home’s ecosystem. It was an instant connection.

Now, let’s be clear: Our foster experience wasn’t a cakewalk. Michael suffered from asthma attacks for which we had to take him to the doctor – more than a few times. We had to carry around his inhalers and learn how to use EpiPens. We visited doctors, emergency rooms and specialists 26 times in the first year. He was a sick little guy.

I wasn’t the first foster mother (and won’t be the last) to look into the mirror after an all-nighter with my new child and say to myself, “I don’t know what I’m getting myself into.” But, as often happens, overcoming these bumps in the road has made our family stronger.

Michael developed an incredibly special bond with my youngest daughter while dealing with these issues. Whenever he has a particularly bad

asthma attack, the only person he wants to sleep next to is her. He’s comforted by her presence, and she’s comforted by being “that person” in his life.

They adore each other in a way that may not have happened otherwise – at least not as quickly.

From changing his diaper, putting on his shoes, or simply pouring him a drink at dinner and snuggling with him at night, as Michael grew, my daughters grew, too.

•••••• Michael loves trucks and trains. He loves running on the sand at the beach, seeing the waves come in and waving at the seals as they lie on the wet rocks. Only 3 years old, he calls the beach his “happy place.”

He revels in leaving surprise selfies on our cellphones. He often wakes in the morning to tell me, “Mom, I so happy.” He will run into the girls’ rooms and ask them, “Dae, T – Are you so happy?” (We are all so very happy.)

These are only a few of the things I’ve learned about Michael since picking him up that day in early February. These small, unique details you learn about children – they make everything worth it. He went from “a foster child” to “my foster child” in the blink of an eye.

And that’s why, when the next phone call came – informing us the ongoing efforts to reunite Michael with his biological mother had fallen through – it didn’t take long for my daughters and me to decide.

Everything had seamlessly clicked into place from the beginning: This little boy came to us on Valentine’s Day. He came to us on Arizona’s birthday. He has the same last name as my biological daughters. He looks like them. He has our sense of humor. He made our family stronger.

And, more than that, we never wanted him to wonder again where he might end up next. So, on Dec. 20, 2016, we adopted Michael – and he became a permanent part of our family.

He woke up a few days later on Christmas morning to a tree with presents under it. He flung open the wrapping paper to find Thomas the Tank Engine trains and a new bicycle, all while being surrounded by new, permanent family members for the first time – people who loved him and cared for him and would continue to do so forever.

The process may have been easier for us than for others, because Arizona has been working to make foster care and adoption an easier choice and to empower parents to welcome children in need into their families. According to the numbers, more children are leaving state care here than entering it for the first time in seven years – and more than 3,600 children in Arizona were adopted in fiscal 2016.

I can’t promise every step of the way will be easy or that you won’t wonder whether it’s worth the upcoming speed bump in the road. What I can promise is this: Whatever you face on your route to adoption, the smile on your child’s face will be worth it.

It took me 42 years to realize what it feels like to adopt a child, this beautiful little boy, into my life.

More than 15,000 days.

Worth the wait.

WASHINGTON – Even infants can have conversations with mom or dad. Their turn just tends to involve a smile or some gibberish instead of words.

That’s a key lesson from programs that are coaching parents to talk more with their babies – and recording their attempts.

At issue is how to bridge the infamous “word gap,” the fact affluent children hear far more words before they start school than low-income kids. New research suggests intervening early at least can boost the words at-risk tots hear, and maybe influence some school-readiness factors.

One program in Providence, Rhode Island, straps “word pedometers” onto tots to record how many words a day they hear from family or caregivers – not TV. Another in New York City records video of parents practicing conversation strategies with babies too young to even say “Da-da.”

“Parents say: ‘Wow, look what I did there. I made a sound and my child smiled at me,’ ” said Dr. Alan Mendelsohn of New York University. “The power in that is really something.”

The research was presented at a recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.

Scientists long have known the power of simply talking to babies – the sooner the better. A landmark 1995 study found poor children hear a fraction of the words their peers in wealthier homes do,

lag academically, and can find it hard to catch up.

That’s in part because early experiences shape how the brain develops in those critical first years of life.

Programs are popping up around the country to spread the “let’s talk” message. There’s little data on which interventions really work. But researchers outlined some promising early findings – and noted the problem is about more than word quantity.

“Yes, you can talk more, but what is the quality of your language?” said Caitlin Molina, executive director of the Providence Talks program. “It’s not just the adult word count but the conversational turns, the back and forth, that engage the child.”

Providence Talks has enrolled more than 1,300 babies and toddlers since 2014 in programs that train parents to build in more conversation during the day. First, coaches provide strategies. Don’t just read the book but ask about the pictures. Turn off the radio in the car to talk about where you’re going. Describe the colors when dressing a tot, and pause to give them a chance to babble back.

AP photo Then, one day every two weeks, the children Caseworker Stephanie Taveras reads a book with wear a small recorder that counts how many words 20-month-old Gracey Niebla at the child’s home in Prov- they hear and the number of those “conversational idence, R.I. turns.” It can count the returning baby babble but not the TV or radio. Parents are given the scores, to adding up to about 30 million fewer words by age 3. track their own progress.

The reasons are myriad. If mom’s exhausted from Early results show two-thirds of participating two jobs, she’s less likely to read that extra bedtime families improve. Children who started the program story or have time to explore “this little piggie” hearing an average of 8,000 words a day were averwhen putting on a tot’s socks. aging 12,000 a day when the coaching ended, Molina Those children have smaller vocabularies and said.

24 Does olive oil have healing properties?

Dear Doctor: Can olive oil be used topically to aid healing?

Dear Reader: Olive oil has been used since ancient times as a cosmetic and to aid skin healing. The ancient Egyptians used it as an anti-wrinkle potion; the Romans used it as a moisturizer after bathing. To this day, olive oil is used widely in many countries to treat and prevent multiple skin conditions.

Now let’s look at the evidence.

The purported benefit of olive oil may come from its fatty acid composition, predominantly oleic acid, but also palmitic acid and linoleic acid. These fatty acids have been thought to have both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, has been shown to penetrate the upper layers of skin, where it permeates between the cells – seeming to suggest that it’s an effective moisturizer. Anecdotal evidence might seem to bear that out, but note that oleic acid has been found to actually increase water loss across the epidermis, countering the notion that it can help lock in the skin’s moisture.

In a 2013 study published in the journal Pediatric Dermatology, researchers studied volunteers who applied six drops of olive oil to their forearm twice daily for five weeks.

They found that the skin treated with olive oil not only lost water, it also experienced a reduction in skin thickness and integrity, and in some people caused a local reaction.

The authors surmised that olive oil’s disruption of the skin may allow for penetration of allergens and increased inflammation of the skin’s layers.

Some people use olive oil in an attempt to mitigate stretch marks induced by pregnancy. The evidence for that is sketchy as well.

In a 2012 study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 50 women who were 18 to 20 weeks pregnant applied olive oil twice daily to their abdominal skin, mas-

SUDOKU

saging it in gently each time, keeping this practice up until they had delivered their baby. A control group of 50 women applied nothing to their abdominal skin. Although researchers did find some decrease in severe stretch marks among those who used olive oil topically, they found no overall significant difference in stretch marks between women who used olive oil and those who didn’t.

One place where olive oil may hold potential is in its treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders showed a significant improvement of healing and shrinking of ulcers with use of olive oil among people with grade 1 or grade 2 diabetic ulcers (the least serious of the grades, which progress to grade 5).

Complete ulcer healing occurred after 4 weeks in 73.3 percent of those who had olive oil placed over the ulcer versus 13.3 percent who didn’t. This healing may be related to olive oil’s potential to dry the lesion, which is linked to its propensity to remove water from the skin.

As for other skin conditions, some case reports have suggested that olive oil may reduce acne and symptoms of impetigo, but no controlled studies have been done.

So the evidence for olive oil on its own as a topical agent is not convincing. Further, it may even cause skin irritation, so I wouldn’t recommend it as a moisturizer, especially for infants. But because of olive oil’s ability to penetrate the skin, it could potentially be helpful in combination with another agent.

As for its potential in healing skin ulcerations in the lower legs and feet, further study is needed.

A M E L I O R A T E

DEAR ABBY Our house will soon be paid off.

Jeanne My husband and Phillips I would like to have a party to celebrate, but we’re not sure if we should. None of our friends are anywhere close to paying off their mortgages. We made the choice to drive old cars while our friends all have beautiful new ones, and we were genuinely happy for them each time they proudly showed them off. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I am our friends’ emergency contact for their kids at school. They have taken amazing vacations, and we have enjoyed their stories and photographs. We used the time and money trips would have cost to stay home and work on projects around the house.

We haven’t envied them; we just had different goals. Should we celebrate this – just the two of us, or with our friends? – Different Goals in New

Dear Abby:

each other’s victories. With no more mortgage to pay, you and your husband will now be able to enjoy some of the things your friends have been enjoying all these years. While some couples would prefer to mark the occasion with a special dinner at a nice restaurant, if you’re inclined to do otherwise, then throw a party. You deserve it.

Dear Abby: I have been married to a wonderful man for 38 years. The issue is that sometimes I get insanely jealous. It isn’t an everyday occurrence, but I become insecure because I feel my husband is too attractive to other women. My husband is very outgoing and I am an introvert.

I find myself accusing him, and he tells me I need to stop it. He reassures me that I’m the only woman he loves and wants in his life. I don’t want to destroy our wonderful marriage. I consider myself attractive. I need to stop letting my lack of self-confidence get the best of me. Please help. – Insecure in Ohio Dear Insecure: The answer to your problem lies in finding out the cause of your deep-seated insecurity, because that’s what triggers your jealousy. Until you do, nothing will change. A licensed mental health professional can help you get to the root of it and provide the tools to deal with it. Your physician should be able to refer you to someone who is qualified.

Dear Abby: I’ve been with my husband for five years, but we’ve been married only for a year.

He told me a few months ago that his ex-girlfriend said he is the father of her child. We did a home DNA test and it showed he is not the father. In spite of that, my husband insists he still wants to take care of the child. I don’t know what to do. Please help. – Thrown in New York Dear Thrown: It appears that what your husband wants is to maintain a close tie to the child’s mother, because that is what will happen if he takes financial responsibility for her child.

Tell your husband you want to discuss this with the help of a professional mediator, preferably a marriage counselor. If he refuses, talk to an attorney because you may be needing one.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Call upon people who have helped you in the past or who owe you a favor. Collaborating will help you find simpler means of getting what you want. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Aim to please your inner spirit in order to gain material support.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Stamina and drive will help you secure what you want. Trust in your gut feeling and follow your instincts in order to make the right choice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Finish what you start and avoid taking on more than you can handle. Allot your time carefully and refuse to

let anyone slow you down by putting unrealistic demands on you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get involved in meaningful events. Your input and solutions will be considered if you take the initiative to engage in the discussion with verve and discipline.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Money problems will increase if you make purchases you cannot afford. Live within your means if you want to avoid being put in your place. Behave and save.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Partnerships look promising. Contribute to something you believe in, but don’t let anyone take you for granted financially. Surround yourself with helpers, not users, if you want to build greater stability.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A partnership will go

through uncertainty if you cannot come to a workable agreement. Take a moment to consider the probable loss should you not compromise. Show intelligence, not aggressiveness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Traveling and learning should be high on your list. Sign up for a course or go on a retreat that will engage your mind and give you the wisdom to make a favorable choice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Get along with your peers, but don’t go overboard and take on the brunt of the responsibilities. Make sure everyone knows what you expect in return before you do any favors.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t feel obliged to travel if you don’t want to. Set the standard

and guide others to follow suit. If you don’t make requests, you cannot expect to bring about change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look at the big picture, but don’t feel the necessity to buy the acceptance of others. Make your position clear and don’t be afraid to make changes that will influence you and you alone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Add to your comfort and well-being. Use your experience and strong intuition to choose the people you want in your life and the level of their involvement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll receive an unexpected gift. A settlement or new contract that offers greater hope for future endeavors will head your way if you embrace change.

READER NOTICE:

Jack Youngblood, a 14-season defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams, said, “I visualize things in my mind before I have to do them. It is like having a mental workshop.”

Bridge players visualize the cards in their minds before proceeding with the play at trick one. The more focused their pictures, the better they play.

In today’s deal, South was in four spades. West led the heart jack. Declarer took that trick with his queen and cashed a high trump, but West discarded a heart. How should South have visualized the play proceeding?

North’s four-heart response was a Texas transfer, which showed at least a six-card spade suit and said North was planning either to stop in game or to drive on to a slam. If he had transferred at the two-level, then jumped to four spades, that would have been a slam-invitation.

South had nine winners: five spades, two hearts and two clubs.

If East held the diamond ace, there would be no problems. But if West had that key card, declarer could lose one spade and three diamonds. Was there a chance even when West had the diamond ace?

Declarer took his second top spade trick, cashed the club king, played a club to his ace, ruffed a club on the board and returned to his hand with a heart. Then, when South led his last club and West followed suit, declarer discarded a diamond from the dummy. West was endplayed, forced to lead away from the diamond ace or concede a ruff-andsluff. Also, it would not have helped East to ruff the fourth club, because South would have lost only one spade and two diamonds.

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF PROPOSED ACTION LOCATED WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN March 3, 2017 McHenry County Department of Planning and Development Attn: Zak Klehr 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock, Illinois 60098 (815) 334-4560, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: A notice appeared in this newspaper on January 25, 2017 inviting participation in a floodplain management decision-making process.

Specifically, we invited comments regarding the following residential rehabilitation project.

Project: McHenry County Housing Authority-Owner Occupied Rehabilitation program funded by the 2016 Community Development Block Grant Purpose and Location: This notice informs the public that McHenry County is proposing to use program funds within the 100-year Floodplain. The project involves re-wiring and repairing of any damages as a result of the re-wiring of a residence located in a Flood Zone A, as designated by the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map 17111C0236J. In addition, there is the potential for repairs to occur on the residence's well system.

McHenry County completed an evaluation concerning potential impacts on the floodplain and possible alternative actions. The conclusion was that there is no practicable alternatives to the potential project being located within the Flood Zone A. The alternatives considered included: no action This alternative was rejected for the following reasons: 1) the residence is already existing, 2) with exception of the well system all rehabilitation will be internal, 3) there is a potential fire risk if re-wiring does not occur, and 4) the detriment effect of no action contributes to the potential risk of fire and for the homeowner to become homeless.

An Environmental Review Record (ERR) for this project is currently being conducted by the McHenry County Planning and Development, Community Development Division. The ERR will document the floodplain information and contain a full description of the proposed actions. The ERR is being conducted and will be on file at the address listed above and will be available for public examination and copying upon request during business hours listed above.

Final approval of this Owner Occupied Rehabilitation project will not be made until/unless interested groups, individuals or agencies have had an opportunity to comment. Comments will be accepted by Zak Klehr at the address listed above until March 11, 2017.

Information regarding the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations concerning floodplain management may be obtained by contacting: Steven Vahl, Environmental Officer, Office of Community Planning and Development, Chicago Regional Office, US Department of Housing and Urban Development, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Phone 312-913-8728, fax 312-353-5417.

McHenry County College’s Kayli Trausch practices with the team Oct. 27 at MCC in Crystal Lake. Trausch, a Cary-Grove graduate, committed to play volleyball at Division I Marquette.

Healthy again, C-G grad Trausch bound for Marquette

Celebrating an awesome season at the Crystal Lake Rib House – @HuntleySwimming Follow our writers on Twitter: Kyle Nabors – @KyleNabors Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Sean Hammond – @sean_hammond Alex Kantecki – @akantecki John Wilkinson – @jwilks26

What to watch NHL: Blackhawks at New York Islanders, 7:30 p.m., WGN The Hawks, who have won their past five games, host the Islanders, who beat the Star, 5-4, Thursday night in Dallas.

ayli Trausch’s first week of volleyball practice at McHenry County College two years ago was challenging to say the least.

After a medical condition forced the 2014 Cary-Grove graduate from Fox River Grove to return home from Eastern Illinois after one semester, she enrolled at MCC with zero intentions of ever playing volleyball again.

In the fall of 2015, MCC women’s volleyball coach Kyle McCall recognized Trausch – whom he recruited out of high school but didn’t connect with – in the hallway. McCall was on the lookout for a middle blocker after his starter suffered a season-ending injury.

Trausch and McCall exchanged tweets, and she agreed to join the Scots.

But getting back into playing shape was not easy for Trausch, who came down with mononucleosis her freshman year at Eastern. Combined with a pre-existing condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, she began to

pass out regularly.

She has since outgrown POTS and the symptoms, Trausch said.

“I went from not playing a whole year to every day,” Trausch said. “I hadn’t touched a treadmill, I hadn’t touched a weight. I think I had only practiced a couple of days, and I was already playing at the No. 1-ranked JUCO team (Parkland) my first Kayli Trausch weekend back. It was hard. It wasn’t pretty.”

Since returning to volleyball, Trausch has become one of the best middle blockers in the country. This past season, the 6-foot-1 sophomore ranked seventh in NJCAA Division II with 519 kills, second in solo blocks (108), and third in points (669.5) to lead the Scots to their second straight national tournament appearance.

Her breakout season earned her Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Volleyball Player of the Year honors.

She also was named to the NJCAA D-II

All-American second team.

Two weeks ago, Trausch committed to continue her athletic and academic career at NCAA D-I Marquette. She also was seriously considering Northern Iowa and Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne.

McCall and Cary-Grove volleyball coach Patty Langanis both helped in the recruiting process. Trausch plans on majoring in psychology.

She had other schools interested as well, but wanted to stay close to home.

Still, Trausch’s wild and unpredictable journey from Eastern Illinois to MCC to Marquette is not something she ever imagined happening.

“It’s honestly been the craziest ride I’ve ever had,” Trausch said. “I never thought I would see a court again, and it turns out I’m actually going to play two more years on top of the two at MCC. “I can’t even put it in words, it’s so crazy. ... I went up for a basketball game (on an official visit), I kind of got to see around campus, and it was just really nice. I love how close it is. My family is

• TRAUSCH

Continued from page 2 a big part of my life, so that was something that was very important to me.”

Marquette finished 23-9 and earned its sixth straight NCAA tournament berth, falling to Washington in the first round. The Golden Eagles tied for second in the Big East with Creighton.

Trausch was one of four Scots – along with Kyla Fitzsimmons (Jacobs), Sommer Rhea and Payton Traff – in the fall named to the all-conference first team and All-Region IV Tournament team.

McHenry Country College went 0-2 at the NJCAA Division II Volleyball Championship, a double-elimination bracket with 16 teams. The Scots entered as the No. 11 team in the country.

McCall, who originally recruited Trausch in 2014, but never got close,

“I’m not really sure where I want to go, if I do want to play next year,” Boesch said. “I’m at that point in my life where I have to make a really big decision. My dad’s at a point where he wants to retire soon.”

So on Saturday, Boesch might be looking at his last time in organized basketball.

If it is, Boesch can be pleased that he went out in style.

“It’s been a great improvement,” he Zach Gorney said of his season. “I didn’t play as much as I wanted to last season because of a shoulder injury. I worked hard over the offseason with conditioning and strength, getting in the gym and getting shots up. And now I’m starting.”

Eagles flying high: Zach Gorney, a 2014 Huntley graduate, worked his way into the starting lineup at NCAA Division III Benedictine University in Lisle, last year’s D-III national runner-up and a tournament entry again.

The Eagles (23-4) take on Wartburg College at 5:30 p.m. Friday in their D-III first-round game at Wisconsin-River Falls. Benedictine lost the championship game last year to St. Thomas (Minnesota), 82-76, for its lone loss of the season.

Gorney, a 6-4 forward, played sparingly on that team but has been a starter most of this season. He averages 5.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and is hitting 46.6 percent on his field-goal attempts.

“It’s been really fun for me,” Gorney said. “I just try to do what I can. We have a lot of great seniors on the team, so I try to fill in where I’m needed, start-

ing or coming off the bench. I definitely put in a lot more work than ever before (in the offseason) with people like Zac Boster (at Pure Sweat Basketball). I also feel like I’m more comfortable with the system and was able to transition smoothly into this year and fit a role nicely.”

Benedictine won the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference for back-toback seasons. River Falls and Bethel (Minnesota) meet in Friday’s second game. Friday’s winners play each other at 7 p.m. Saturday.

“We’re very talented and firing on all cylinders right now,” Gorney said.

“I think anything’s possible if we keep playing this way.”

McHenry County flavor: The firstround D-III tournament games at Wisconsin-Whitewater will have two of the McHenry County area’s best guards in recent years with Augustana’s Chrishawn Orange and Whitewater’s Zach Knobloch.

Orange, a 6-2 sophomore, was a three-year starter and 1,000-point scorer at Jacobs. He leads the Vikings (19-8) in scoring at 14 points a game and is third in assists, second in steals and the team leader in minutes played.

Augustana plays St. Thomas (Minnesota) at 5:30 p.m. Friday. Whitewater meets Northwestern-St. Paul in the second game. Friday’s winners meet at 7 p.m. Saturday. The Warhawks are 21-6, and Knobloch, a 6-0 freshman guard, averages 6.6 points a game.

Knobloch started 13 games and is 42 of 81 (51.9 percent) on 3s. He was the 2015 Northwest Herald Player of the Year as a junior, and Orange was the other player to receive the most consideration for that honor that year.

said, “I’m not much of an everything-happens-for-a-reason guy, but that was pretty situational and fortunate for all of us.”

Last spring, Trausch discovered emails from McCall in 2014 that had gone to her spam folder.

“When she came back from Eastern, she thought her volleyball career was over,” McCall said. “It was very fortunate that we found her in the hallways that one day, and that was one day after our middle had gotten hurt. She went from never thinking she was going to play again to falling back in love with the sport.”

McCall has seen Trausch grow in less than two years from a pure blocker to an all-around threat. It’s rare for a middle blocker to be among the leaders in kills.

“I think she’s gotten a lot stronger and faster,” McCall said. “She’s hitting the ball harder than in high school. Her

volleyball IQ, because of her diligence in watching film and stuff like that, has gotten so much better. Her blocking is definitely going to be attractive for the coaching staff at Marquette. They’re going to absolutely love how she blocks.”

Trausch becomes the fourth player for McCall and assistant Shari Mayner to continue playing volleyball after MCC. The first three – Zoe Lindsey (Manhattan), Abby Marchewka (Grand Canyon University) and Liz Simonelli (Judson) – all left after their first year with the Scots.

McCall said MCC helps any player who wants to play a third and fourth year reach that goal. Trausch ended up as the only sophomore on MCC this past season, a role she embraced.

She even had a big effect on recruiting, McCall said. Traff, the team’s starting setter, came all the way from Alabama, and Trausch had a helping hand in bringing her to Crystal Lake.

“I can’t really say enough for how much she’s done for the culture at MCC,” McCall said. “Kayli really has a way of being the glue to everything. It’s a no-brainer that she was a captain for us, and I know she’s going to do great things at Marquette.”

Trausch, in return, said she is forever grateful for McCall, Mayner and the entire Scots athletic department.

If not for them, she likely wouldn’t be going to Marquette, or even playing volleyball.

“They knew coming in I was going to be super out of shape because I hadn’t played in a whole year, and they still put their faith in me,” Trausch said. “They worked with me every single day to get me back into playing shape. I wanted to give them the same respect and put in the same hard work and dedication that they were putting in me. I couldn’t be more thankful for them.”

• Friday, March 3, 2017

Elgin Community College men’s basketball coach Reed Nosbisch knew what he was getting when he recruited Huntley’s Connor Boesch two years ago.

Nosbisch saw a player willing to do the less-heralded things – defending, rebounding, drawing charges – along with someone who provided size with an occasional 3-point threat.

Boesch, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, has been all of those things for the Spartans, who will host Lorain County (Ohio) Community College at 7 p.m. Saturday in the NJCAA Division III National Tournament’s round of 16. The winner advances to the National Tournament with seven other teams March 16 to 18 in Rochester, Minnesota.

The Spartans (28-5) won their first Region IV title last weekend, defeating defending national champion Rock Valley, 72-69, on its home floor.

Boesch is averaging 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds a game as a starter and is hitting 34.6 percent of his 3-point attempts (26 of 75). He also leads the team, by a wide margin, Nosbisch said, with 20 charging fouls drawn.

“When I’m open, I step outside and shoot the 3,” said Boesch, a 2015 Huntley graduate. “I’m more of a defensive player because I find pleasure in getting stops. Reed saw a lot of potential in me, saw that I have a great motor. In high school, my game was based on defense, and he really liked that. Offense can always be improved, but you can’t really teach stepping in front and taking charges.”

Boesch is an ideal complementary

player for the Spartans, who have other stars and an interesting look. Two 26-year-olds, 6-8 Homer Denson and 6-2 guard Chris Benjamin, have been their leaders this season, although Benjamin played only one half last week before suffering a knee injury. He will not play this weekend.

Nosbisch teaches in the educational services department at Jacobs and spent 10 years on former boys basketball coach Jim Connor Boesch Hinkle’s staff. He took over at ECC 10 years ago. Nosbisch remembers one particular game while recruiting Boesch when the Red Raiders played Fremd.

“He was against some good-sized, physical kids and he hit a couple 3s that night,” Nosbisch said. “He just has the ability to do all the little stuff that goes unnoticed. Playing for Marty Manning and Will Benson, I knew he would have discipline in his game.”

Boesch hit a 3 in each of the second halves last weekend, Saturday’s 68-66 win over Madison College and Sunday’s triumph over Rock Valley. The Spartans also tied for the Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference championship with Waubonsee College, despite being the lone D-III team in the league and thus not offering athletic scholarships.

Boesch is taking business courses and considering his future. He has spoken with coaches from four-year schools and is weighing his options.

His father, Ron Boesch, runs Bub’s Pier Service in Fox Lake, a business Boesch might some day take over.

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: REGIONAL FINALS PREVIEW

R-B hopes to slow Volkening, Marengo 3A regional title up for grabs; McHenry, Jacobs in 4A finals

Regional finals pairings

CLASS 3A Richmond-Burton Regional Friday (2) Marengo vs. (3) Richmond-Burton, 7 p.m.

CLASS 4A Jacobs Regional (1) Jacobs vs. (4) St. Charles North, 7 p.m.

Palatine Regional Friday (2) Conant vs. (10) McHenry, 7 p.m.

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Woodstock boys basketball coach Al Baker could see it coming when Blue Streaks guard Matt Shook was screened and fell to the floor.

It allowed Marengo guard Mike Volkening the sliver he needed to catch and shoot. “[Volkening] hadn’t even caught it yet, and I said, ‘That’s three points,’ ” Baker said. “I just knew it. It was nothing but net. He’s just automatic.”

This is what Richmond-Burton will face in the championship of its own Class 3A regional at 7 p.m. Friday in Lou Ramirez Gymnasium, a scoring machine in Volkening who has hit 21 of his past 28 shots in that gym.

No. 2-seeded Marengo (22-7) and No. 3 R-B (17-10) split during the regular season, each winning in the other’s home gym.

In Class 4A, No. 1 Jacobs (27-1) hosts No. 4 St. Charles North (19-8) at 7 p.m.

Friday in the Eagles’ Nest for that regional title. No. 10 McHenry (18-11) faces No. 2 Conant (25-4) at 7 p.m. Friday in the Palatine Regional final.

Volkening, a 6-foot-3 guard, dropped 30 on R-B on Feb. 21 in a 67-55 Marengo victory that knocked the Rockets out of first place in the Kishwaukee River Conference. On Tuesday, Woodstock limited Volkening to 10 field-goal attempts – he made nine.

Michelle LaVigne for Shaw Media

Marengo’s Mike Volkening (center) has hit 21 of his past 27 shots at Richmond-Burton’s Lou Ramirez Gymnasium, where the Indians will face R-B on Friday for a regional title.

Volkening finds Lou Ramirez Gymnasium as comfortable as a La-Z-Boy. “Coach (Nate Wright) always preaches to us to be playing your best basketball at the end of the season,” Volkening said. “I’m more focused; our guys are all focused. We’re all just trying to get the win. They’re helping me run plays and getting me open. A lot of those shots are coming from my guys.”

R-B counters with its own standout guard, Blaine Bayer, who will be playing his 118th varsity game Friday. The Rockets need to shoot better than they

did Feb. 21 against Marengo, as well as try to find a way to slow down Volkening.

“Volkening is a ton,” Rockets coach Brandon Creason said. “He likes it here. We were hoping to get the chance to play them again. We put ourselves in position.”

R-B struggled with shooting in the first half of Tuesday’s 65-39 victory over Johnsburg, then hardly missed in a 48-point second half, hitting 16 of 24.

“It’s going to be exciting,” Bayer said of a Marengo rematch. “We’re excited

for each other.”

Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts took over four years ago, the same season freshman center Cameron Krutwig came to the varsity. The Eagles are looking for their third regional title in those four years after winning the Palatine Thanksgiving Tournament, their own Hinkle Holiday Classic and the Fox Valley Conference championship.

McHenry has its most wins since program career scoring leader Lukas Slater helped them to a 19-9 mark in 2004. Coach Tim Paddock took over the next year and had 16-win seasons in 2009 and 2010.

The Warriors are playing for a regional title for the first time since 2012, when they beat Crystal Lake South for the Cary-Grove Regional championship.

“This team was a special team coming in,” Paddock said. “We knew we had a chance to be really good. Now it’s justice that we’re healthy at the right time. We kept our head down and those 18 wins are a result of guys doing the right thing every single day. Hopefully, we’re not done. Nineteen or 20 sounds even better.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL NOTES

Hampshire’s Dumoulin makes 3-point Showdown final NORTHWEST HERALD Hampshire senior Rachel Dumoulin advanced to the IHSA Class 4A ThreePoint Showdown final after knocking down 9 of 15 3-point attempts Thursday at Redbird Arena in Normal, then making another eight shots in a tiebreaker.

Also advancing were Olivia Jenkins of Plainfield East, Jordyn Hughes of Gurnee Warren and Kelsey Nallon of

Rolling Meadows. Those four advanced from a pool of 32 who competed Thursday.

NFL COMBINE

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush All of this year’s top-three quarterbacks have warts that will make them difficult to digest with a top-10 pick in the first round.

Issue No. 2, however, is that each of the first three teams drafting – Cleveland, San Francisco and the Bears – share a single overwhelming need that dwarfs all their other concerns: quarterback.

It will be difficult for each of those clubs not to take one.

Which leads us to the biggest question: Will the Browns, 49ers or Bears significantly overreach and use a top-three pick on Kizer, Watson or Trubisky?

Browns coach Hue Jackson laid out the muster one will have to pass for his club to take a gamble on him.

“It’s a lot of things you’re looking for, but I think, most importantly, obviously, guys have arm talent, and can a guy process football at the rate that you need him to be able to do it?”

Jackson said. “Is he a guy who can lead these quarterbacks if he were not one of the top three players on his board an organization?” regardless of position.

Of the big three, Kizer clearly has “I think you have to get value,” the best arm talent and is the only Pace said. “I think when you talk about one of the three to “process football,” reaching at any position, it’s hard.

INDIANAPOLIS – You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, Ph.D. or NFL expert to know that quarterback is the most important position in the NFL. Yes, you need a lot more than just a QB to win big and win often, but it’s the one position you can’t do either without.

Quarterbacks are the highest paid players in the game, the most coveted and the hardest to find, and that’s why the primary focus every year at the NFL’s annual scouting combine starts there.

This year there are three players – DeShone Kizer, Deshaun Watson and Mitch Trubisky – whom almost everyone is focused on and a handful of others, including Nathan Peterman and Patrick Mahomes, demanding significant attention.

There are two factors making the quarterback question even more all-consuming than usual. The first is that although any of the five young men I mentioned might prove to be future All Pros, none are as projectable as players such as Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and even Carson Wentz have been in recent seasons.

6 BULLS

Roster makeup causes confusion Carter-Williams 1 of 5 point guards

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Michael Carter-Williams is scheduled to return from a left knee injury any day now.

That’s good news for the fourthyear player after sitting out the past three games, but Carter-Williams also doesn’t fully understand what he’s returning to.

“A little confused,’’ Carter-Williams told the Sun-Times on Thursday when discussing the current makeup of the roster.

Rightfully so.

Carter-Williams is one of five point guards the Bulls are carrying. Joining the 25-year-old is Jerian Grant, Isaiah Canaan, Rajon Rondo and newly acquired Cameron Payne.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that the starting job has been a rental all season, rather than a permanent residency, with coach Fred Hoiberg going with Rondo to start the year, then Carter-Williams, and now Grant.

While Carter-Williams likes the fact that he can still come back from the setback of the knee injury to an open competition, he admittedly would like some more clarity from Hoiberg on why he lost the spot to Grant, as well as what he needs to do to get it back.

“It’s tough,’’ Carter-Williams said.

“I’m not going to lie. Some days you just wish Coach would come out and say, ‘Listen, you’ve got to do this. This person has to do this.’ Some days I’m thankful that the spot is still open so that I can compete for it and get it. It’s tough, though.

“It’s something we’re all working through, so I’m not alone. It’s hard to put words to it. Takes a lot of patience.

We have no choice but to ride it out, try and stay patient. Like myself, I’m not playing so I’ve got to be patient and hopefully wait my turn.’’

According to Carter-Williams, the point guards talk about the confusion on an almost daily basis. The addition of Payne in the trade with Oklahoma City only added to the murkiness.

“I think it’s only natural that we all talk about it,’’ Carter-Williams said.

“Like I said, confusing.

“I mean probably every day we think we should have that starting position, but we compete for it, and it’s

Bulls guard Michael Carter-Williams is expected to return soon from a knee injury after missing the past three games. more about competing in a competitive nature and environment more than hate or anything like that. We all work out together, so we all know what we’re going through.’’

Right or wrong, Hoiberg doesn’t have to explain his decision-making to any player on the roster. At least to the media, however, Hoiberg has made it sound like an open competition with no favorite heading down the stretch.

“It’s hard because you have five guys who have shown they’re capable of giving you quality minutes,’’ Hoiberg said. “We’ll have to get things figured out these last [21 games] and try to get the best combinations out there.’’

The wild card in all of this is Payne.

He’s obviously not up to speed with the offense yet, and knowing Gar Forman, it’s easy to deduce that the general manager would like to see Payne start before the year is done to justify the trade with the Thunder.

Hoiberg said there is no mandate from his bosses for Payne to start, and Payne seems willing to play the waiting game.

“Whenever my name is called, I just get out there and play the game,’’ Payne said. “It’s tough, but it’s all good.

I’m just that type of guy.

“I believe in putting the people on the floor that will help us win. If we’re winning and I’m not playing it’s fine.

If we’re winning and I’m playing, it’s fine. As long as we’re winning games, it’s fine by me.’’

BULLS 94, WARRIORS 87

Splash Brothers crash; Bulls pull off surprise

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It was there for the taking all night.

And in the final minutes Thursday, the Bulls took it.

Not only did the 94-87 win hand the Golden State Warriors their second consecutive loss for the first time since April 2015, but it moved the Bulls (3130) into the No. 6 spot of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Call it a gutsy Bulls win. Or call it a bad night for Golden State’s All-Star backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, as the Splash Brothers performed more like the Crash Brothers.

Either way the Bulls weren’t going to complain about the results, as they watched Curry and Thompson combine to go 3 for 22 from beyond the 3-point arc, as the usually high-octane Warriors’ offense went 6 for 30 (20 percent) from long range as a team.

“We tried to find a way to make them take as difficult a shot as possible,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu testified Thursday in Miami that he had an extremely close relationship with a Florida baseball trainer on trial along with a sports agent for allegedly smuggling Cuban ballplayers off the island.

Abreu acknowledged giving trainer Julio Estrada $25,000 a month last summer after Estrada’s assets were frozen by the government after his indictment in the smuggling case – $10,000 more than Estrada had requested. He did so, Abreu testified, “because of the high esteem I have for him.”

Abreu, who is not accused of wrongdoing, also paid Estrada’s wife an undisclosed amount to help decorate his South Florida home. He bought a separate $500,000 house in the Florida Keys for Estrada to live in rent-free, and Estrada was best man at Abreu’s wedding.

“These were people who had helped me a lot in getting into this country, so I had a lot of trust in them,” Abreu told a jury.

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Lackey: This year is all that matters

Pitcher, 38, in last season of contract

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Two weeks into camp, spring training finally has arrived for John Lackey and the other veterans in the Cubs’ starting rotation.

The four returning starters make their spring debuts in succession, starting Saturday, with Lackey’s first start Tuesday against Team Italy at the Cubs’ spring home John Lackey park.

“We’ll see,” Lackey deadpanned Thursday. “We’ll see if it fits into my golf schedule.”

Put one repeat in the books for the Cubs already, before the season even starts.

Lackey, 38, is back. Fully healthy, he said – and in full “ain’t-here-for-ahaircut,” “big-boy-games-are-different” form.

“There’s different things to get done here in the course of a spring training,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said, smiling at his growly righthander’s comments. “Short game.

Putting. Off the tee – who knows?”

If you weren’t sure that the Cubs would have any edge left, coming off their celebrated, complete-with-luxurious-perks championship, just ask the clubhouse’s Mr. Edge whether he expects to be a 200-inning pitcher this season.

“That’s what I’ve been for 15 years,” he scoffed, “so yeah.”

Next question.

That next big question might have something to do with those 15 years.

Lackey, a World Series champion with three different teams, is in the final year of a two-year contract and isn’t sure what comes after that.

“I feel great,” he said. “I’m just playing this year. We’ll see what happens at the end of the year. If I still feel good, I’ll keep playing.”

One scout who saw a lot of Lackey last year said that losing his command would be the only thing that could keep Lackey from being able to help a team. “He could pitch till

his arm blows,” the scout said. “You know he’s going to compete.”

Whether the Cubs would consider re-signing a 39-year-old Lackey, Maddon said, “I believe there’s a lot of good baseball left in him.

“I just think last year I screwed it up by permitting him to warm up.”

Lackey was among the league leaders in innings pitched when he went on the disabled list in mid-August with a shoulder strain – after twice warming up in the bullpen for possible relief work between starts in extra-inning games July 31 and Aug. 11.

“Until I had the little time on the DL, I was about as good as I’ve ever been honestly,” he said. “Having to warm up a couple times in extra innings probably didn’t help. That probably ended up getting me. I wish that wouldn’t have happened.”

Lackey said he “probably never got back to 100 percent” even after returning from the DL three weeks later.

“You’re trying to win the game, and here’s this guy that says, ‘I can do it,’ ” Maddon said. “The days looked right regarding when he had pitched previously, but that was something I should not have permitted.”

That won’t happen this year. In fact, Maddon expects to monitor Lackey’s scheduled workload even more than he did last year.

“I know he’s not going to like to be taken out of some games in his mind’s eye earlier [than appropriate], but he needs to be,” Maddon said, “in order to maybe really finish strongly this year and then possibly promote [pitching] next year again.”

Lackey isn’t looking that far ahead, personally or for the team, even if this might be the Cubs’ best foreseeable shot at another title, with Lackey, Jake Arrieta, Wade Davis and Koji Uehara all free agents at the end of the year.

“Whatever happens next year is kind of, ‘Who cares?’ You know what I mean?” he said. “We’ll worry about that when we get there.”

Whether he gets to next year, Lackey knows he doesn’t plan to finish his career like ex-teammate David Ross.

“There will be no retirement tour,” Lackey said. “I just won’t show up the next year.”

CUBS NOTES

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

SEEING REDS The Cubs’ top two hitting prospects, outfielder Eloy Jimenez and 2015 first-round pick Ian Happ, drove in the Cubs’ two runs in the seventh inning during the afternoon game in Goodyear, on a sacrifice fly and two-out single, respectively.

But it was too little too late for the Cubs.

ZASTRYZNY STRUCK IN CALF, LEAVES START Left-hander Rob Zastryzny, who debuted last summer, left his start against the Reds in the third inning after being struck in the right calf by a shot back to the mound. He pitched to three more batters, then left with the trainer.

“It hit me and it didn’t feel too bad, so I kind of walked it off, and two pitches later I could feel it tightening up,” he said.

HEYWARD WATCH Jason Heyward, who struggled through his worst offensive season last year, remains hitless this spring after two fly balls and a grounder to first in three at-bats against the Reds. But he said he’s more comfortable at the plate than last year, and “I like that I’m swinging at strikes.

It’s just all about trying to get them in the zone.

Right now guys are making some pretty good pitches all the way around. I feel like we’ve all been saying that to each other.”

BULLPEN STARS ON TAP The Cubs’ top relievers are on the schedule this weekend to make their spring game debuts.

Pedro Strop, Hector Rondon and Carl Edwards Jr. are on the schedule to back up starter Kyle Hendricks on Saturday at home against the Dodgers. New closer Wade Davis, Koji Uehara and Justin Grimm are scheduled to back Jon Lester on Sunday against the Rangers.

MESA, Ariz. – The wait took two weeks, but the decision was quick and no surprise.

Jon Lester is the Cubs’ Opening Day starter as they begin their championship defense April 2 in St. Louis – Lester’s second opening start in three seasons with the Cubs.

“He’s definitely earned it and deserves it,” manager Joe Maddon said when making the announcement Thursday before the Cubs’ spring game against the Cincinnati Reds. “Then I talked to Jake (Arrieta) about being the No. 2 guy. And Jake, obviously, understood why we went with Jon first.”

Lester, last year’s runner-up in National League Cy Young voting, went 19-5 with a 2.44 ERA – the second-best ERA in baseball behind teammate Kyle Hendricks (2.13).

Lester also was the co-MVP of the National League Championship Series during a postseason run in which he went 3-1 with a 2.02 ERA in five starts and a Game 7 relief appearance in the World Series.

“He does add to our ballclub that calming presence of, ‘Hey, I want be out here on the mound to be in every big spot for you guys, regardless of the situation, whoever we’ve got to face,’ ” teammate Jason Heyward said. “Everybody feeds off of that.”

Arrieta, last year’s Opening Day starter after a 2015 Cy Young season, was 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA last year.

Hendricks, by the way, was third in Cy Young voting last year after a 16-8 season.

Rizzo sidelined with sore back: AllStar first baseman Anthony Rizzo was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s spring game against the Reds because of tightness in his lower back, but the team does not consider the injury serious.

La Stella on deck? Infielder Tommy La Stella, who has been slowed for more than a week by a tight hamstring, “should” be ready to return to action Friday.

Maddon plans to start La Stella at second base against the Reds for his spring game debut Friday.

Spring-ending injury for Weeks: At Mesa, Arizona, nonroster infielder Jemile Weeks, who was a candidate for the Cubs’ final bench job, was diagnosed with a sprained ACL and bone bruise in his left leg after an MRI. Typical recovery time is four weeks,

10 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC

Tournament grows, but far from mature

By RONALD BLUM

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The World Baseball Classic returns Monday for its fourth edition, growing slowly yet still far from rising to the prominence of soccer’s World Cup or the Olympics.

South Korea hosts Israel at the opener of the 16-nation tournament in Seoul, and the Dominican Republic starts its title defense March 9 against Canada in Miami.

“The tournament remains very much in the early innings of its development,” Chris Park, Major League Baseball’s senior vice president of growth, strategy and international, said Thursday at a Yankee Stadium news conference. “Our ultimate ambition is to watch and supervise this tournament as it matures into a truly global platform for our game and a real competitor with the top international tournaments around the world.”

First-round games also are being played at Tokyo and Guadalajara, Mexico; and second-round games at San Diego and Tokyo. The championship round is at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles from March 20 to 22.

The United States, which failed to finish better than fourth under managers Buck Martinez, Davey Johnson and Joe Torre, is led this year by Jim Leyland and starts play March 10 against Colombia in Miami.

The 2013 championship on MLB Network averaged 843,000 viewers; it was the most-watched sporting event in the Dominican Republic in at least a decade, averaging an 11.2 rating on CDN. And in Puerto Rico, there was a combined 39

broadcaster Al Leiter, a pitcher on the 2006 U.S. team.

The tournament is run by MLB and the players’ association and games will be televised in the U.S. on MLB Network and ESPN Deportes. In total, 171 countries will receive WBC broadcasts, and more than 50 sponsors have reached agreements.

Revenue is forecast to top $100 million for the first time. Still, that is less than 2 percent of the $5.5 billion projected by FIFA for next year’s World Cup in Russia.

While the World Cup is soccer’s ultimate event, many players decline to participate in the WBC, which is played while their clubs are at spring training ahead of season openers that start April 2.

Japan won the initial tournament in 2006 and repeated as champion in 2009, but no current Japanese in MLB will be at the WBC. “It comes down to a personal decision, and they have all of these competing interests that they have to contend with in terms of their own preparation and length of the season,” players’ union senior labor counsel Ian Penny said.

Major leaguers on 25-man rosters were not allowed at the last Olympic baseball tournament in 2008, and they aren’t likely to be at the 2020 Tokyo Games, given MLB’s unwillingness to interrupt AP file photo its season. That leaves the WBC as the Dominican Republic players celebrate their 3-1 win over the United States in a sec- sport’s international showcase. ond-round game of the 2013 World Baseball Classic in Miami.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

Iowa upsets No. 22 Wisconsin; Minnesota stays hot The ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. – Jordan Bohannon hit the game-winning 3-pointer with nine seconds left, and Iowa capitalized on No. 22 Wisconsin’s sloppy final few minutes with a 7-0 run to beat the Badgers, 59-57, Thursday night.

After Ethan Happ missed two free throws that could have sealed the win for Wisconsin, Iowa’s Peter Jok missed a jumper in the lane.

But Cordell Pemsl corralled the offensive rebound, and Bohannon hit the 3 from the left wing, stunning the crowd at the Kohl Center after Wisconsin led by nine with 4:15 left.

The Hawkeyes (17-13, 9-8 Big Ten) have won two straight road games as they try to improve their postseason ré-

sumé.

The Badgers (22-8, 11-6) lost their third straight game, going scoreless for the final 3:12.

Bohannon finished with 11 points.

Bronson Koenig led the Badgers with 19 points.

12 BLACKHAWKS

Injuries, illness likely mean line changes

By BRIAN HEDGER For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO - It was Johnny Oduya’s first practice in his second stint with the Blackhawks, but his presence Thursday at Johnny’s Icehouse West was overshadowed by those who didn’t skate.

Five players were missing, including three who were surprise absentees: Marian Hossa, Nick Schmaltz and Artemi Panarin. That trio joined Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper-body injury) and Artem Anisimov (lower-body injury), who were each expected to be absent.

Hjalmarsson already had been declared out this week, and Hossa was resting. The availability of the other three is less clear.

Anisimov’s status wasn’t updated much by coach Joel Quenneville after practice, but he might miss some time after leaving early in the second period of the Hawks’ 4-1 win Wednesday against Pittsburgh. Schmaltz (illness) and Panarin (upper-body injury) also are questionable against the New York Islanders on Friday at the United Center.

“[Schmaltz] should be OK,” Quenneville said. “We’re hoping he’ll be fine for [Friday], but we’ll see. [Panarin is] getting some evaluations, upper-body.

We don’t think it’s serious, but we’ll see.”

Quenneville’s comments Wednesday night made it seem as if Anisimov might miss a couple of games. Thursday, he left the prognosis more open-ended.

“He’s still getting Artem evaluated,” Quenne- Anisimov ville said. “Hopefully, it’s not too serious. If he does miss much (time), it won’t be significant.”

Schmaltz spent the most time replacing Anisimov at center on the second line, playing between Panarin and Patrick Kane. If he’s healthy enough to play, that’s where the rookie forward will start against the Islanders.

Ryan Hartman would take Schmaltz’s spot at left wing on the top line with Jonathan Toews and Richard Panik, which would break up the top two lines. That’s not an easy decision for Quenneville to make after he spent

the bulk of this season searching for effectiveness from Toews’ line.

After finally getting it, Quenneville is faced with a tough choice regarding Schmaltz, who had the primary assists on the first two goals of Kane’s hat trick against the Penguins.

“You’re sitting there [thinking], ‘OK, do you want to tinker with that (top) line?’” Quenneville said. “Now you’re tinkering with two lines, and it’s like, ‘OK …’ Hopefully things don’t slow down at all, but I think that our team is very versatile. And if it doesn’t work, then you try something else. That’s why you commend [Schmaltz] for doing what he did [Wednesday] night.”

That’s assuming Schmaltz will be healthy enough to play. He’s the third Hawks player to come down with an illness in the past two weeks, after Jordin Tootoo and Corey Crawford – who gets back in net Friday.

“It’s not mumps,” Quenneville said, referring to the illness that again is spreading through the NHL. “Over the course of a long stretch here, everybody’s getting a turn (being sick).

Touch wood.”

There’s a chance the Hawks will

be without Anisimov, Schmaltz and Panarin against the Islanders. If so, a forward could be recalled from Rockford.

As for Oduya, the veteran defenseman won’t make his return debut with the Hawks until next Thursday against Anaheim. He’s coming off an ankle injury that sidelined him 15 games with Dallas, and the plan is to rest him for a busy stretch run.

“It’s a little bit different if you’re out one or two weeks,” said Oduya, who returned for one game with the Stars before being traded back to the Hawks.

“It’s kind of easier to pick it up right away and get back. Now, I kind of want to do myself justice and wait to prepare in the right way. It’s a decision for management and the coaches, but it’s something we talked about and I think it’s not a bad idea.”

New addition: The Blackhawks signed 21-year old forward Matthew Highmore to a three-year entry-level contract Thursday. Highmore is an undrafted free agent who has 32 goals and 82 points in 58 games with the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
