Prairie Ridge architectural design class gives students real-world experience

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – At the start of the school year, architectural design students at Prairie Ridge High School were faced with a problem to solve: How to build sheltered ticket booths to replace the tables and chairs ticket sellers use for games and other school events.

A couple of months into second semester, students have built the foundation and some walls of one out of three mobile ticket booths that will be used at the school at the start of football season.

Typically, the juniors and seniors in the architectural design class learn how to develop residential blueprints for a house, and sometimes build scale models of a house, architectural design teacher and industry and careers assistant division leader Nick Low said.

“But this year is the first time that architecture students are actually able to take their plans and develop a real life-size solution to what the client wants,” Low said.

The client, in this case, is Prairie Ridge athletic director Mark Gilbert,

ABOVE: U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, addresses the audience Friday of a forum for veterans and their families at the American Legion Fox River-Geneva Post 75. BELOW: Community members peaceably assemble Friday across the street from the American Legion post during the forum.

GENEVA – American Legion Fox River Geneva Post 75 was host to more than 80 veterans Friday, who packed the hall’s meeting room so a panel of experts could hear their concerns.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, Dr. Steve Braverman, director of the Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital and Hughes Turner, executive director of the VA Regional Office in Chicago, fielded questions for more than an hour. The Kane County Veterans Assistance Commission hosted the event.

One concern that veterans have is long travel times to get to Veterans Administration hospitals, as explained by Todd Latham, commander of VFW Post 1486 in Sandwich.

Latham said the trip to Hines is an hour and a half one way.

“I found it very difficult to get vets in there to receive their care,” Latham said. “It takes several hours to receive their care, and then drive an hour and a half home.

To me, that is unacceptable.”

Latham said a mobile unit in North Aurora is closer, but the care available is limited.

Braverman said that Hines was in the process of being upgraded on several levels, from facade improvements – as portions of the brick were falling down – to upgrades to the boiler. It’s also getting a new MRI facility.

“We are committed, as best as we can, to get the services, equipment and facilities for what your service has earned you the right to have,” Hultgren said.

To another question about allowing veterans the right to go to “regular” doctors for care instead of traveling to Hines, Hultgren said he could see the process opened up for them to see any doctor.

“I think there is a big group of us who support that, but not enough,” Hultgren said. “My hope is we will get there … [and] allow our veterans to go where they want to go.”

Tammy Anderson, superintendent of DeKalb County Veterans Assistance, asked what is being done to address notices of disagreement that are filed when veterans’ claims are denied.

“If we file a notice of disagreement on a veteran claim, it’s three years,” Anderson said. “We’re looking at 2020.”

Turner said the reality was there is a backlog, and – at the moment – claims from 2014 are currently being dealt with.

“We are trying to address that by modernizing the appeals process,” Turner said. “That is the best answer I can give you.”

While the veterans were meeting at the Legion Hall, about 60 protesters from Indivisible Kane County and other groups stood in silence across the street on the sidewalk in front of the Geneva Public Library.

Members of the group have sought a town hall with Hultgren at various recent protests. They said, this time, they would be silent out of respect for the veterans.

Developers are looking to build two buildings in the space where the former Great Bank/Charter One site at 234 S. Randall Road was.

One would hold a MedExpress, the other would be space for other retailers.

Algonquin Village Board mulls plans for former bank site on Randall Road

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Village Board is considering changes to the redevelopment plan for the former Great Bank/Charter One Bank site at 234 S. Randall Road.

Property owner First Midwest Group originally planned for a single 15,000-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building for the site, according to village documents.

However, MedExpress, a walk-in doctor’s office that offers nonemergency medical service, approached developers asking for a stand-alone building for their operation, Algonquin Senior Planner Ben Mason said.

The MedExpress building would be about 5,000 square feet and be located just north of the approximately 10,000-square-foot multi-tenant building, documents show.

The Algonquin Planning and Zoning

“We do think it has long-term viability, or we wouldn’t do it.”

Marvin Keys

First Midwest Group representative Commission recommended approval of a final planned unit development and a special-use permit for medical office for the site, with some conditions including the buildings should be constructed with the same brick and stone materials, and no medical uses should be allowed in the multi-tenant building.

Marvin Keys, representing First Midwest Group, said at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting that tenants are not lined up for the rest of the spaces, although they are in discussions with a possible restaurant tenant.

“There was also some concern from the committee that the 8 feet of open space between the two buildings might

create some sort of safety hazard or potential for someone to hideout or lurk in the space,” Mason said.

After some discussion on whether a fence or landscaping should be used in the space between the building, the Algonquin Village Board decided that it was unnecessary.

“I like everything about this, except I think it’s a little weak on landscaping,” Algonquin Village President John Schmitt said, suggesting more trees be added.

Algonquin Trustee Brian Dianis questioned whether splitting the property would affect marketing the MedExpress building if the company ever left.

“We do think it has long-term viability, or we wouldn’t do it,” Keys said.

The item will come before the Algonquin Village Board for approval at its next meeting, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A counter rally has been scheduled Saturday in response to the planned “Spirit of America” rally on the Woodstock Square.

The Spirit of America rally aims to support President Donald Trump and is one of many planned across the nation Saturday. Former congressman Joe Walsh, who also is a conservative radio talk show host, is the keynote speaker.

Hate Has No Home in Woodstock will rally around the Square from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Organizer of the Spirit of America rally Teresa Kopec previously told the Northwest Herald that the goal of the event is to bring community members together in support of the president.

“People have been silent, and I just want them to come out, enjoy the day and show their support,” she said.

“We’re not trying to make it about the left or the right. … Just celebrating what Trump is doing for our country.”

aim of the peaceful rally is to show that the people of Woodstock have diverse viewpoints. Counter rally participants will march around the Square silently and won’t interact or interfere with the Spirit of America rally, she said.

carries a possible sentence between 20 and 80 years.

Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos said the events of June 2015 have left a “permanent mark” on his client, adding that he still has a bullet lodged in his abdomen that doctors are unable to remove.

Mourelatos also presented two photographs to the judge, one of the butter knife he was holding when the police officer arrived and another of two plates on a countertop near where he was standing when he was shot.

Mourelatos said the loss of Laudicina’s brother, who he was very close with, “put him on a path of using alcohol.”

Since the incident, Laudicina said he no longer wants to drink alcohol and has regularly attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings while in jail.

“I’m sorry you gotta take your time out to deal with me and my issues,” Laudicina said to Prather.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs didn’t offer any sentencing recommendation and said it was the judge’s decision to sentence Laudicina to what she felt was appropriate based on the charge.

CARY – One person was flown to the hospital Friday after a Cary-area crash near West Rawson Bridge Road and Rona Street, a fire official said.

The Cary Fire Protection District was called to the intersection about 8 p.m. for a vehicle that crashed into a tree, Cary fire Capt. Carl Boni said.

A vehicle had gone off the road and hit a small tree, Boni said. He did not know what caused the crash.

The male driver was taken by Flight for Life to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, Boni said.

He said the vehicle was towed, and there were no passengers.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Cary police also assisted, Boni said. Police could not immediately be reached for more information.

WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a man who was holding a butter knife when he was shot by police in 2015 to prison.

Joseph A. Laudicina, 31, whose last known address was in Addison, was sentenced Friday after he pleaded guilty in January to charges of residential burglary and aggravated Joseph A. assault. Laudicina also Laudicina pleaded guilty to a 2013 charge of aggravated domestic battery.

Prosecutors said he caused great bodily harm to his then-girlfriend by choking her.

Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Laudicina to four years in prison on the residential burglary charge and 364 days in jail on the aggravated domestic battery charge, sentences that will be served consecutively because he was out on bond when he was arrested in 2015. He also was sentenced to one year in prison on the aggravated assault charge, which will be served concurrently.

Police were called June 21, 2015, to a Crystal Lake address for a reported domestic battery. Authorities said Laudicina punched his mother several times and choked her. Officers were then called hours later June 22, 2015, to a Crystal Lake home in the 800 block of Boxwood Drive for an “unwanted subject” in the home. Prosecutors said Laudicina brandished a knife and that Crystal Lake police officer Kris Krol thought he would be injured.

Krol shot at Laudicina twice and hit him once, police have said. Laudicina was in the hospital for more than two weeks recovering before being transferred to the McHenry County Jail. Krol was honored as Officer of the Year by the McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association for his response to the incident. An independent investigation by the Illinois State Police and a review by the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office concluded Krol was the victim of an attempted murder and his use of force was justified.

Laudicina faced charges including home and vehicular invasion, aggravated domestic battery and attempted murder of a police officer, a charge that

who said he wanted to involve students in the project to give back to the school. “[The students] took it to a whole other level,” Gilbert said. “I just gave them some basic parameters. They designed them, and now they’re actually building them, so we’re pretty excited with that.”

Wednesday morning Gilbert stopped by Prairie Ridge’s woods lab to see the students’ progress. The 10 students in the class divided into three groups, each working on building a wall for the first booth.

Each booth will be about 7-feet wide, 5-feet deep and 10-feet tall, Low said.

Students used the Autodesk AutoCAD program to created 2-D floor plans, elevations, roof plans and electrical plans for the booths, and then used Trimble SketchUp to create 3-D renderings.

For senior Jonathan Harris of Crystal Lake, learning the computer programs was the hardest part of the project.

“It helps in so many ways,” Harris, who wants to pursue a career in architecture, said of the class. “… Usually I just build with my hands and draw pictures, but now I’m learning all the stuff on the computer.”

Going into the class, students said they did not expect to be doing con-

struction.

“It’s kind of a process for all of us because we’re learning how to start from the ground up with the structure, and it’s a really cool experience,” said junior Emma Jewell of Crystal Lake.

Low said he expected the students would need more guidance from him with the project, but students took responsibility for their own work.

“I’ve had so much fun working with this group,” Low said. “They’re dedicated, they’re hardworking, they’re fast learners. And I’m going to be sad

when it’s all over.”

The project is expected to cost about $7,000, Low said, and he hopes it’s completed by graduation. Students presented their plans before the school’s booster club and administration and secured about $2,400 from the booster club, Low said.

The rest of the funds will come from the school, Low said. He encouraged any construction companies or contractors interested in supporting the project to contact him at nlow@d155. org or 815-479-0404, ext. 5457.

The architectural design class’ project will benefit students even after they leave Prairie Ridge, industry and careers division leader Kevin Koeppen said.

“Our goal is to put students into real-world situations, real-world job [and] career applications, as much as possible,” Koeppen said.

Working on the ticket booth project gives students the experience that employers are looking for, Koeppen said, and will benefit the school for years to come.

The Schack family opened the facility to fill a level-of-care gap

Bill Schack

Co-owner of Harvard Retirement Home said. “At the time, there wasn’t anything in between. … We just kind of made it up as we went along. We serve meals, do their laundry and help them with what they need in daily living.”

The decision to close the 16-bed facility was a tough one, but after three decades, it’s time to retire, she said.

“We’ve been doing this a long time,” Kathy Schack said. “We’re running out of steam.”

The site currently houses 10 residents and operates with a staff of about six, not including the owners. The

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Fire Protection District was called about 7:45 p.m. Friday to the 100 block of North Shannon Drive, near Woodstock, for a possible house fire.

Later, area fire departments also were called to scene through the MABAS box alarm, according to dispatches.

Crystal Lake Fire Chief Paul DeRaedt, who was filling in for crews at the Woodstock fire station, said about 10 p.m. crews were still on the scene. He said the MABAS box alarm was called because there are not fire hydrants in the area near Shannon Drive.

More information on the fire was not immediately available.

HARVARD – After 34 years in business, the Harvard Retirement Home will close its doors in the spring.

Harvard residents Bill and Kathy Schack opened the home in the early 1980s and have seen between 225 and 250 residents. Both had extensive experience working with elderly individuals – Kathy Schack as a nurse with the Five Hospital Homebound Elderly program, and Bill Schack as a social worker with United Charities.

The duo noticed that clients they served often would have to go to nursing homes before that level of care was needed. They saw an opportunity to fill that gap and decided to open their own center, Kathy Schack said.

“We’d come home at night and talk about all these poor people that had to be placed in nursing homes because they were alone with no support,” she

small facility has fostered a tight-knit community, Bill Schack said.

“We’re kind of like a big family here,” he said. “We love the place, and it’s been a difficult decision to make to close.”

The historic home – built in 1866 – is one of Harvard’s oldest buildings and has served numerous functions over the years. A church, a movie theater, an opera house, the former Harvard Memorial Hospital and a nursing home have operated out of the property over the course of its life, the couple said.

Now it’s time for someone else’s dream to live on at the site. The family plans to put the house on the market in the summer, Kathy Schack said.

“This was our dream,” she said. “I think someone else is going to come along with another dream and, hopefully, do just as well as we did. We haven’t gotten wealthy with this, but we’ve enjoyed it. It’s been what we wanted to do.”

Author Paula Fox poses for a portrait in 2011 in New York. Fox, known for the novels “Desperate Characters” and “Poor George” and the memoir “Borrowed Finery,” died Wednesday in Brooklyn. She was 93 and had been in failing health.

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press

unable to write long fiction. She instead began working on memoirs and shorter pieces.

Born in New York City in 1923, Fox was the daughter of novelist-screenwriter Paul Fox and fellow screenwriter Elsie Fox. Paula Fox remembered her father as a drunk given to “interminable, stumbling descriptions of the ways in which he and fellow writers tried to elude domesticity.” Her mother was a “sociopath” who kicked her out of the house as a young girl. Fox lived everywhere from a plantation in Cuba to a boarding school in Montreal.

“My life was incoherent to me,” Fox wrote in “Borrowed Finery.” “I felt it quivering, spitting out broken teeth.”

If only she could have gathered all the people she met and placed them in a single room. Living in Hollywood in the 1930s and ’40s, she danced with John Wayne and encountered John Barrymore, “yellowing with age like the ivory keys of a very old piano.” Marlon Brando was a friend and Courtney Love is her granddaughter, born to the woman Carroll whom a 19-year-old Fox gave up for adoption. Her brother-in-law, Clement Greenberg, was among the 20th century’s most influential art critics.

Although a devoted reader since childhood, she didn’t publish until past 40. She worked for years as a teacher

and as a tutor for troubled children and was married briefly for a second time, to Richard Sigerson, with whom she had two sons. She finally settled down with her third husband, translator and commentary editor Martin Greenberg, whom she met after he had rejected a story she submitted for the magazine.

In “The Coldest Winter,” Fox wrote that living abroad had liberated her mind, “showing me something other than myself.” Her early fiction included the stories “Lord Randall” and “The Living,” narrated in colloquial style by black characters and published in the mid-1960s by Negro Digest. In “The Slave Dancer,” a young boy is captured and forced on to a slave ship.

“I’ve never been a slave. I’ve never been black. I was never on a ship. But I have a certain narrow understanding of certain kinds of characters, and of evil and kindness and goodness and tenderness,” Fox told the AP. But by the 1990s her work was forgotten by all but her most determined admirers – one of them was Franzen. The future author of “Freedom” and “The Corrections” came upon “Desperate Characters” while at the Yaddo writers colony in 1991. In a Harper’s magazine essay about American fiction, he called “Desperate Characters” an overlooked masterpiece.

Muriel A. Thornhill Knowling, beloved mother and grandmother, 82, passed peacefully into God’s presence after a long battle with cancer on February 28th, 2017.

A longtime resident of Huntsville, Alabama, she grew up in Hampshire, Illinois where she lived and worked until moving to Chattanooga TN, in the early 1950s. While there she worked at the Tennessee Title Company, and met and married Ted L. Knowling, Jr., a physicist, in 1957. After a year in Florence, Italy, they settled in Huntsville, Alabama and raised five children.

After the children were grown, she was employed at the Madison County Courthouse until her retirement. She was a longtime member of Lakewood Presbyterian Church where she sang faithfully in the choir. She was a Brownie scout leader, a proficient seamstress, and had a flair for home and cake decorating. She was an avid ballroom dancer and organized dances for the Huntsville community well into her 70’s. She loved travel and made two European tours and multiple cruises in the Caribbean and beyond.

She is preceded in death by her parents, John Aaron and Genevieve Schopen Thornhill; infant twin sister, Mildred Alice Thornhill; first husband, Ted L. Knowling, Jr.; and second husband, Joseph Cornell Thompson.

She will be dearly missed by her five siblings, Rosemary (and Mike) Rissman of Hinckley Illinois, Priscilla McChesney of Columbus, Indiana, Gerald (and Jean) Thornhill of Hampshire, Illinois, Carolyn Sapp of West Chicago, Illinois and John Thornhill Jr. of Geneva, Illinois; her five children, Ted L.

NEW YORK – Paula Fox, a prize-winning author who created high art out of imagined chaos in such novels as “Poor George” and “Desperate Characters” and out of the real-life upheavals in her memoir “Borrowed Finery,” has died at age 93.

Her daughter, Linda Carroll, told The Associated Press that Fox died Wednesday at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. She had been in failing health.

Abandoned as a girl by her parents, a single mother before age 20, Fox used the most finely crafted prose to write again and again about breakdown and disruption, what happens under the “surface of things.” In “Poor George,” her debut novel, Fox told of a bored school teacher and the teen vagrant who upends his life. “Desperate Characters,” her most highly regarded work of fiction, is a portrait of New York City’s civic and domestic decline in the 1960s, a plague symbolized by the bite of a stray cat.

“It seems to me that in life, behind all these names and things and people and forces, there’s a dark energy,” Fox told The Associated Press in 2011.

Her work was out of print for years, but she enjoyed a late-life revival thanks to the admiration of such younger authors as Jonathan Franzen, David Foster Wallace and Jonathan Lethem. She lived for decades in Brooklyn and was a revered figure in the New York City borough’s thriving literary community.

Her other books included the novels “A Servant’s Tale,” ‘’The Western Coast” and a memoir about living in Europe after World War II, “The Coldest Winter.” Fox also wrote more than a dozen children’s books, including “The Slave Dancer,” winner of the Newbery medal in 1974. “Borrowed Finery,” published in 2001, was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle award.

She might have written more novels, but a head injury sustained from a mugging in Jerusalem in the 1990s left her

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Be aware of emotional deceit. Whether it’s you not wanting to face reality or someone else trying to lead you astray, you must question anything that doesn’t feel right. Don’t give in to emotional pressure or anyone trying to take control of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be true to yourself.

Don’t feel bad if you want to do something that doesn’t include others. You will get much more accomplished if you do your own thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Time spent making alterations to the way you live or how you present yourself to others will pay off. Romance will enhance your relationship with someone

special.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t wait for others to pitch in. Take care of your responsibilities without making a fuss. The less interference you experience, the more you will accomplish.

Do what’s expected of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotional matters will take charge, leaving you in an awkward position. Don’t feel compelled to disclose personal information. Set realistic goals and do your best to succeed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Listen to others, but don’t take what they say literally. Emotional blackmail will end up costing you if you let it.

Don’t let children or anyone, for that matter, make you feel guilty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let changes going

on around you cause distress. Embrace whatever comes your way by contributing your unique touch. Earn your place at the top. Celebrate with someone you love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Listen carefully. The information you are being given could easily influence your position, as well as your relationship with someone you’ve grown to love and trust. Lead the way instead of following.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Confusion and delays will set in if you travel or attend a reunion or event that will bring you in touch with people from your past. Don’t believe everything you hear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep your emotions steady and your sights fixed on what you want to achieve. Giving in to someone dangling temptation in front of you will set you back and create limitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Joint ventures will prove to be prosperous. Emotional sensitivity will give you the insight you need to make the best choice possible. Celebrate your victory with a loved one. Self-improvement is featured.

Tenayuca is a 2016 graduate of Harry David D. Jacobs High School and Tenayuca joined service in September 2016.

• CARY – U.S. Air Force Airman Katelyn C. Helverson, daughter of Allen Helverson of Archie, Missouri, and Sarah Helverson of Cary, graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and basic warfare principles and skills.

FOX RIVER GROVE – Fox River Grove Middle School hosted the area’s annual regional spelling bee Feb. 8. Eleven schools and 22 students participated. Bernotas eighth-grader Serena Huberty won the bee and will move on to the countywide contest March 8 for the second year in a row. Bernotas sixth-grader Luke Skorja was runner-up. Huberty, who will be a freshman at Crystal Lake Central High School next year, said she became interested in spelling bees after realizing she had a knack for it. She attributes her spelling prowess to being an avid reader as a child. To prepare for this year’s school and regional spelling bees, Huberty studied a school list of about 400 words provided by Scripps, host of the national spelling bee. In addition, she utilized a new “tool” – a word list of about 1,100 words – given to her last year by Bernotas language arts teacher Belinda Strebel. In total, Huberty said she studied about five hours to prepare for the school and regional bees. The countywide spelling bee will be March 8 at McHenry County College. The winner will advance to the National Scripps Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., at the end of May. Pictured (from left) are District 47 Superintendent Dr. Kathy Hinz, Bernotas eighth-grader Serena Huberty and Bernotas Principal Jeff Prickett.

Gangs reap guns from trains in Chicago

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – When street-gang thieves slipped with ease into a Norfolk Southern rail yard on Chicago’s South Side and ripped locks off one train, they likely expected to see merchandise such as toys or tennis shoes. What they beheld instead was a gangster’s jackpot: box after box of brand-new guns.

The guns had been en route from New Hampshire manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co. to Spokane, Washington.

Instead, the .45-caliber Ruger revolvers and other firearms spread quickly into surrounding high-crime neighborhoods. Along with two other major gun thefts within three years, the robbery helped fuel a wave of violence on Chicago’s streets.

The 2015 heist of the 111 guns, as well as one in 2014 and another in September from the same 63rd Street Rail Yard highlight a tragic confluence. Chicago’s biggest rail yards are on the gang- and homicide-plagued South and West sides where most of the city’s 762 killings happened last year.

Chicago’s leaders regularly blame lax gun laws in Illinois and nearby

News from across the state Chance the Rapper, Rauner discuss school funding

CHICAGO – Grammy-winning artist Chance the Rapper used a Friday sit-down with Gov. Bruce Rauner to press for immediate funding for cash-strapped Chicago Public Schools, but said he left “flustered” over “vague answers.”

The unusual one-on-one meeting comes amid a two-year budget fight between the Republican first-term governor and the Democrat-controlled Legislature, who are deadlocked on a state spending plan. Earlier this week a possible “grand bargain” solution stalled at the Capitol.

The conversation was scheduled after the rapper, whose name is Chancelor Bennett, won three Grammys last month, including best new artist. Rauner tweeted congratulations and Chance, a Chicago native who attended city schools, asked

Rauner had a different take, calling it a “good exchange of views.”

Founder of tech company gets 9-year fraud sentence

CHICAGO – The founder of an Elk Grove Village technology company has been sentenced to nine years in prison for a scheme that bilked investors out of $9 million.

Seventy-one-year-old Gregory Webb was sentenced Wednesday by a federal judge in Chicago.

The founder and chief executive officer of InfrAegis Inc. was convicted last year of nine counts of mail and wire fraud.

Federal prosecutors said he defrauded more than 200 investors, including Chicago firefighters and other first-responders, through his company.

Webb had portrayed the company as a thriving business on the verge of signing billion-dollar contracts with the city of Chicago and government agencies and municipalities worldwide. But prosecutors said there were no pending

On the night of the theft, gang members found and kept a shipment of women’s sandals, according to filings in the federal case of seven suspects arrested later in 2015. Finding guns later was luck, not an inside job, prosecutors said. New pretrial filings describe one thief using expletives to convey the excitement as he ripped open boxes of guns: “Oh man!” he said. “These ... are pretty!”

Residents near the yard are angry that the multibillion-dollar railroad isn’t doing more to stop the thefts.

“In a place where murders seem to be happening every single day, the last thing we need in Chicago is a railyard with guns being stolen,” said Corey Brooks, pastor of the New Beginnings Church that hugs the yard.

Thomas Ahern, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent in Chicago until his recent retirement, called the thefts “a serious (security) breakdown that needs to be addressed.”

Man sentenced to prison for killing roommate in ’14

WHEATON – A man convicted of killing his roommate during an argument hours after moving into the man’s Naperville townhome in 2014 has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Twenty-four-year-old Grant Muren learned his punishment Thursday. He was found guilty last year of second-degree murder, aggravated arson and residential arson after a bench trial in DuPage County.

Muren’s lawyer had argued at trial that the killing was self-defense.

Prosecutors said Muren beat and strangled 55-year-old Charles Clark after they had a sexual encounter and Clark told Muren to leave the home.

Authorities said the Clark met Muren after the younger man answered Clark’s Craigslist posting for a new roommate.

Investigators said that Muren tried to burn a lease agreement and cause an explosion at the home with natural gas.

Deputy AG nominee

could lead Russia probe

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Some Democrats worry the appointment of a Jeff Sessions subordinate to oversee an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election won’t be a clean enough break from the embattled attorney general.

But the veteran prosecutor in line for the job may be uniquely politically palatable.

Rod Rosenstein, who faces his confirmation hearing next week for the role of deputy attorney general, was appointed top federal prosecutor in Maryland by George W. Bush and remained in the post for the entire Obama administration. That staying power, extraordinary for a position that routinely turns over with changes in the White House, lends weight to the reputation he’s cultivated as an apolitical law enforcement official.

“He is so well-respected.

He cannot be influenced, he cannot be bought, he cannot be pressured because of outside political forces,” said Baltimore criminal defense attorney Steven Silverman, who has known Rosenstein for years.

Sessions recused himself from any Trump-Russia investigation Thursday after the Justice Department acknowledged he had spoken twice with the Russian ambassador last year and had failed to disclose the contacts during his Senate confirmation process.

Sessions said he had not tried to mislead anyone but could have been more careful in his answers.

The new attorney general’s recusal handed authority for an investigation – for now – to his deputy, Dana Boente, another longtime federal prosecutor who has the post in an acting capacity. Boente was appointed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in 2015 by Barack Obama and

Rosenstein, who faces his confirmation hearing next week for the role of deputy attorney general, was appointed top federal prosecutor in Maryland by President George W. Bush and remained in the political post for the entire Obama administration. was elevated to acting attorney general in January after Trump fired Obama holdover Sally Yates. When Sessions won confirmation, Boente stepped to the No. 2 position.

Once Rosenstein is confirmed, he’ll take over responsibility for any probes touching the Trump campaign and Russian meddling.

He arrives at the Justice Department with experience in politically freighted investigations, having earlier in his career been part of the Clinton-era Whitewater independent investigation.

When he was a U.S. attorney, his office also led the leak prosecution of Thomas Drake, the former National Security Agency official who pleaded guilty to a minor misdemeanor after more serious charges of mishandling documents were dropped. He more recently oversaw the probe of James Cartwright, the former Joint Chiefs of Staff vice chairman who admitted making false statements during a separate leak investigation and was ultimately pardoned

by Obama.

“It’s hard to imagine a more

challenging environment in which to come in as the deputy attorney general than what we have now,” said Jason Weinstein, who served under Rosenstein in the U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland. “Having said that, I can’t imagine a better person for the job right now than Rod.” Regardless, the Sessions recusal did little to assuage demands from some Democrats that the investigation be removed entirely from the Justice Department and given to an outside prosecutor.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called the Sessions recusal “deeply inadequate” and said he was troubled by the number of Trump associates who he contended have either made misleading statements or concealed communications with Russia.

“I also think for the public to have confidence that any prosecutorial decision is made truly independent of the administration, that the extra remedy of a special counsel is really warranted here,” Schiff said in an interview.

Trump tours private school in Florida President says his education agenda will focus on choice The ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. – President Donald Trump toured a private religious school in Florida on Friday, praising it as an ideal institution for “disadvantaged children” while re-emphasizing that his education agenda will focus on school choice.

Trump visited St. Andrew Catholic School in Orlando, dropping in on a fourth-grade classroom and shaking hands with students who said they were learning about the history of Florida. When one girl said she wanted to own her own business, he said with a smile that she’s “gonna make a lot of money. But don’t run for politics.”

The president, who was joined by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, a longtime charter schools advocate, described St. Andrew as “one of the many parochial schools dedicated to

this week.

Teachers unions were quick to criticize the visit, saying it showed hostility by Trump toward public schools and an intention to turn education

into a profit-making industry.

Trump said he would ask lawmakers to pass a bill that would fund school choice for disadvantaged young people, including minority children. He did not offer any details.

Among his guests were Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. Marco Rubio and Denisha Merriweather, who used Florida’s school voucher program to attend a private high school that she credits with turning her life around. Many of St. Andrew’s students attend the school using the same voucher program as Merriweather, White House spokesman Ninio Fetalvo said.

“We want millions more to have the same chance to achieve the great success that you’re achieving,” Trump said. The president also told Latrina Peters-Gipson, the school principal, that “the love you have for what you do is really fantastic.”

Despite being at the school, Trump also noted anew that he captured Florida in last year’s election. After the visit, he flew to his coastal home in Palm Beach and later attended a Republican National Committee fundraiser that was closed to the news media. Trump was scheduled to return to the White House late Sunday.

Members of the public are seen June 7, 2014, at the site of a mass grave for children who died in the Tuam mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland.

Mass grave found at ex-Catholic orphanage

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press

DUBLIN – A mass grave containing the remains of babies and young children has been discovered at a former Catholic orphanage in Ireland, government-appointed investigators announced Friday in a finding that offered the first conclusive proof after a historian’s efforts to trace the fates of nearly 800 children who perished there.

The judge-led Mother and Baby Homes Commission said excavations since November at the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, had found an underground structure divided into 20 chambers containing “significant quantities of human remains.”

The commission said DNA analysis of selected remains confirmed the ages of the dead ranged from 35 weeks to 3 years old and were buried chiefly in the 1950s, when the overcrowded facility was one of more than a dozen in Ireland offering shelter to orphans, unwed mothers and their children. The Tuam home closed in 1961.

Friday’s findings provided the first proof after decades of suspicions that the vast majority of children who died at the home had been interred on the site in unmarked graves. That was a common, but ill-documented practice at such Catholic-run facilities amid high child mortality rates in early 20th century Ireland.

The government in 2014 formed the investigation after a local Tuam historian, Catherine Corless, tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children who had died as residents of the

facility – but could find a burial record for only one child.

“Everything pointed to this area being a mass grave,” said Corless, who recalled how local boys playing in the field had reported seeing a pile of bones in a hidden underground chamber there in the mid-1970s.

The government’s commissioner for children, Katherine Zappone, said Friday’s findings were “sad and disturbing.” She pledged that the children’s relatives would be consulted on providing proper burials and other memorials.

“We will honor their memory and make sure that we take the right actions now to treat their remains appropriately,” Zappone said.

The report found that the dead children may have been placed in underground chambers originally used to hold sewage. Corless said she found records stating that the sewage systems were used until 1937, when the home was connected to a modern water supply.

A decommissioned septic tank had been “filled with rubble and debris and then covered with top soil” and did not appear to contain remains, the report said. But excavators found children’s remains inside a neighboring connected structure that might have been used to contain sewage or waste water.

The commission’s finding that most of the remains date to the 1950s corroborates Corless’ collection of death certificates. It also dispels a popular argument that bones seen at the site might predate the orphanage’s opening, when the building was a workhouse for the adult poor, or even be from people who died in the mid-19th century Great Famine.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Thumbs-up to local theater

Thumbs-up: To the teenagers, community members and professional thespians taking the stage this weekend and throughout the spring to bring theater to McHenry County.

Area residents will have their pick of productions, including the classics in musicals and dramas, from traditional to more experimental works; for a complete list, visit NWHerald.com/ features/theater. McHenry County always has had a thriving theater community, and that is thanks to those who take the risks to donate their time and talents to entertain, both on stage and behind the scenes. We encourage you to check out your local school auditorium or playhouse to support their hard work, and enjoy the show.

Thumbs-down: To yet another telephone scam victimizing residents and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. This scam claims the person receiving the call is wanted for a warrant for failing to appear in court or for other reasons.

The caller then directs the victim to another number where he is asked to make a payment by phone. Anyone who receives such a call is urged to contact the sheriff’s office.

Thumbs-up: To the 21 Everyday Heroes honored by the Northwest Herald and members of the community Thursday for their contributions to McHenry County Veterans community and beyond. Many of them were veterans who sacrificed their lives in combat and still sacrifice their time, decades later, in meaningful ways.

Thumbs-up: To anyone with a realistic plan to save the former school-turned-apartmentbuilding at 11624 Main St. in Huntley. Absent that, the former school will join the fate of so many other old buildings in McHenry County. It will be torn down. 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. The property costs too much to maintain and has been losing money, Peterson said. Besides, much of its historical value was lost when the school was converted into an apartment building While some people might not like the church’s decision, the church isn’t in the business of historic preservation. It takes a lot more than comments on social media to save a building, just ask anyone at Lakeside Legacy Arts Park, the site of the Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake – or any other number of historic buildings in McHenry County.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Concealed carry for everybody It can be useful and efficient when one state recognizes a license or certification issued by another, as lawyers and bear hunters can attest. When it comes to permits to carry concealed weapons, however, this rationale doesn’t apply.

It’s worth examining why.

According to Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act this week, the bill “strengthens both the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and the power of states to implement laws best-suited for the folks who live there.”

The bill does indeed strengthen the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves using a firearm.

Unfortunately, it also strengthens the right of many others who are not law-abiding, and who are more prone to aggression than protection. For example, stalkers, drunken drivers and abu-

sive partners can carry a concealed weapon in some states.

Other states prohibit them from doing so. Under Cornyn’s bill, those people would be able to take their concealed, loaded weapons anywhere.

In effect, the bill would adopt as a national standard the lowest common denominator of state regulations. Every state would be required to honor concealed-carry permits issued by any other state, no matter how shabby (Hello, Florida!) or nonexistent (11 states require no permit) its process is.

There is nowhere near sufficient evidence to conclude that concealed-carry policies make anyone safer, although there is intriguing evidence that it may have the opposite effect. (Why is it that politicians who make broad, unsubstantiated claims about the safety of firearms are so often adamantly opposed to funding research that might buttress such claims?)

Cornyn’s assertion about “law-abiding citizens” protecting themselves is ironclad, however, compared with his statement about states’ rights. Any reading of the legislation must conclude that it forces states and localities to cede control over their communities to distant states.

California, with 39 million people and more than a dozen major cities, would be required to adopt the laissez-faire concealed carry standards of Wyoming, with fewer than a million people.

Cornyn’s concern for “laws best-suited for the folks who live there” is hard to credit.

Concealed carry reciprocity isn’t about constitutional rights.

It certainly isn’t about creating laws “best-suited” to localities.

It’s about the gun movement’s relentless effort to militarize every corner of American culture and civic life – without a shred of credible evidence that it makes Americans safe.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Why sympathy for illegal immigrants?

To the Editor: I am sorry for I do not understand the “day without immigrants.” And I really do not understand the sympathy that is being given by mainstream media.

I always have understood immigrants as people who have applied and been granted visas into the U.S. When I watched the TV news, the immigrants featured or interviewed were not immigrants, but illegal immigrants.

In most all other countries around the world, entering that country illegally means you have committed a crime and thus you are an illegal immigrant.

What I fail to comprehend is mainstream media sympathizing and trying to make people believe it is “OK” to be an illegal immigrant and deportation is such a harsh treatment.

When I lived overseas and failed to register on time the second year, I actually had that country’s immigration department threaten to deport me, just for being late re-registering as a legal alien to that country.

Do these people pay state and federal taxes? If these people are so upstanding as the media wants us to believe, then why don’t these people apply for a resident

visa? I always was taught since childhood that wrong is just wrong and if you commit a crime, then you have to pay the consequence of your action. Does this still not apply? Where is America’s sense of right and wrong?

Wake up America, where have our moral compasses gone?

Plenty of money in Illinois

To the Editor: In response to your article, “Slowik: Taxpayers should tell legislators how to balance state budget,” published Feb. 2, 2017. I appreciate this article, because those in charge forget what it is like to be an everyday citizen.

Cutting pensions, school funding and labor rights messes with the entire daily function for Illinois residents. I am in graduate school, I work two part-time jobs. My partner and I live with his parents.

Times are tough in Illinois, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe Illinois could be a state that fosters a life of dignity and joy for all of its residents. Illinois has the fifth largest economy and yet we rank 47th in terms of spending on public services. Big corporations and the 1 percent have run

scattered a trail of bread crumbs, evidently so that contacts between Trump’s associates and the Russians would not be lost to a cover-up by the new administration.

Then, with a 9:04 p.m. news alert, The Washington Post published a shocker on the same general subject: that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had met with the Russian ambassador to the United States twice and failed to disclose that during his Senate confirmation hearings.

Because of dogged reporting, and to some extent on intelligence-community leaks that Trump has found so outrageous, both stories hit hard.

By morning, Democratic calls for Sessions to resign were being met by Republican calls for his recusal from any investigation. And Sessions, while insisting he did nothing wrong and was misunderstood, made his own statement that he would recuse himself as appropriate. (As Katherine Miller, politics editor of BuzzFeed, pointed out, it contained a nonsequitur: “I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”)

“When our business is at its best,

it’s because of great reporting,” said Albert Hunt of Bloomberg View, who was a longtime Washington bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal and later of Bloomberg News. He added that the competition between the Times and The Post – “the two best newsrooms in the country” – reminds him of what happened during the Watergate era, except for the delivery mechanism: digital vs. print. “We used to rush to get the papers to see the latest,” he said.

There’s room, of course, in journalism for incisive commentary as well as just-the-facts reporting. But if we had to choose between the two, it would be an easy call.

The strength of the Wednesday reporting made the weakness of the Tuesday punditry easier to take for those who care about the media’s credibility.

our state into fiscal ruin. The rich continue to get richer and the poor get poorer and cannot afford the expense of living. Illinois is in a severe economic crisis.

There is plenty of money in Illinois, and loopholes in our tax code allow those with the most financial resources to dodge paying their fair share in taxes. I am part of an organization called Fair Economy Illinois. We are calling on legislators to pass a “People and Planet First” budget that raises billions of dollars by establishing a progressive income tax, closing corporate tax loopholes and instituting a tax on financial trades so that we can invest in the common good.

No tax dollars for abortions

To the Editor: What is going on with our state? It isn’t bad enough we are almost bankrupt. Now our legislators, instead of seriously working on a budget, are trying to pass a bill so our tax dollars will fund abortions. This House Bill 40 will fund people on Medicaid to get abortions. It would authorize state workers’ health insurance to be used to pay for abortions, and it would fund grants to organizations that perform abortions.

How low can we go? Please contact your state representatives to let them know how you feel about this. ºI, for one, am enraged!

Call it the revenge of the reporters over the pundits.

Tuesday night was a low point for “the media” – if such a multiheaded beast can be described in those two words – as cable-news talking heads gushed over President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

Will Oremus of Slate put it like this: Trump “managed to speak for an entire hour without sounding like an unhinged demagogue. For that, he was hailed by TV pundits across the spectrum who acted as though he’d just single-handedly defeated the Islamic State and restored the fortunes of the American middle class.”

On CNN, Van Jones’ assessment of Trump’s exploitation of Navy SEAL Ryan Owens’s death in a raid was especially memorable: “He became president of the United States in that moment. Period.” (Maybe he learned that construction from Sean Spicer’s assertions about the largest inaugural crowds ever. Period.)

But Jones, a liberal commenta-

tor, was far from alone. Trump had “pivoted.” He became “presidential.”

His speech was “soaring” and “inspirational.”

Katy Tur of NBC, for one, was much more skeptical, pointing out that the raid in Yemen was not considered successful by Defense Department sources and that Trump had blamed Owens’ death earlier on the military brass.

The fact checkers did their thing, and did it well. Not every news outlet felt the need to praise the president to the heavens.

But it was a bad few hours – an unfortunate departure for the news media, which has toughened up and developed something resembling a spine over the past few weeks. (CNN has done some of the best reporting in these weeks, and its Jake Tapper has been a standout interrogator.)

But as if to say that not all media are created equal, along came two blockbuster stories from two longtime rival newspapers.

First, on Wednesday evening, with an 8:01 news alert, the New York Times dropped its triple-byline blockbuster: that the Obama administration had

BUSINESS Yellen signals Fed will likely raise rates this month

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen signaled Friday that the Fed will likely resume raising interest rates later this month to reflect a strengthening job market and inflation edging toward the central bank’s 2 percent target.

Yellen also said in a speech in Chicago that the Fed expects steady economic improvement to justify additional rate increases. While not specifying how many rate hikes could occur this year, Yellen noted that Fed officials in December had estimated that there would be three in 2017.

Yellen’s signal of a likely rate hike this month reflects an encouraging conclusion by the Fed: That nearly eight years after the Great Recession ended, the U.S. economy has finally regained most of its health.

At a separate appearance Friday in New York, Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer added his voice to a series of Fed officials who have indicated this week that they would likely favor raising rates at the Fed’s next meeting March 14-15.

Asked whether there had been a conscious effort by Fed officials to signal a probable rate hike at that meeting, Fischer said, “If there has been a conscious effort, I’m about to join it.”

Many economists now say that barring an unexpectedly disastrous monthly jobs report Friday, a Fed rate increase this month appears certain.

“The Fed will hike unless next week’s payroll report is calamitous,”

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen addresses the Executives’ Club of Chicago on Friday in Chicago. Yellen signaled that the Fed will likely resume raising interest rates later this month to reflect a strengthening job market and inflation edging toward the central bank’s 2 percent target rate. said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. “That’s unlikely, so we expect rates to rise.”

At the March 14-15 meeting, Yellen said the Fed’s policymakers will “evaluate whether employment and inflation are continuing to evolve in line with our expectations, in which case a further adjustment of the federal funds rate would likely be appropriate.”

Friday’s remarks from Yellen and Fischer echoed those made earlier this week by several other Fed officials, including Lael Brainard, a board member who had been a leading voice urging

caution in raising rates.

What has shifted the sentiment of most Fed officials decisively toward a rate increase has been a wave of robust economic data – notably on job growth, manufacturing and consumer confidence – along with surging stock prices.

On Thursday, for example, the government reported that first-time applications for unemployment benefits – a proxy for the pace of layoffs – fell last week to their lowest level in nearly 44 years.

The stock market has been setting a string of record highs, fueled by confi-

dence that President Donald’s Trump’s plans for cutting taxes and boosting spending will win congressional approval.

And inflation, which had been lagging at chronically low levels, has been edging steadily up, reflecting in part a rebound in gasoline prices and higher wages. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge showed that prices rose 1.9 percent over the 12 months that ended in January. That was the largest 12-month gain in nearly five years and just below the Fed’s 2 percent target for inflation.

Yellen was asked during a question-and-answer period about the Fed’s likely response to Trump’s forthcoming economic stimulus program, the details of which remain unclear. Yellen said Fed officials are inclined to wait to see which measures are approved by Congress.

“I think most of my colleagues have decided that we should just be patient and wait to see what happens,” she said.

In December, the Fed raised its benchmark rate by a quarter-point to a range of 0.5 percent to 0.75 percent. It was its first increase since December 2015, when the Fed raised its key rate from a record low. In estimating three rate hikes for 2017, the Fed was indicating a quickened pace of increases.

In her speech, Yellen sought to explain why the Fed has been slow to raise rates in the past two years. She pointed to the prolonged drop in oil prices that started in 2014 and slowed spending by energy companies. And she noted a sizable rise in the value of the dollar, which depressed inflation and hurt export sales by making American goods

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 2017

NEW YORK – Patrick Stewart said he’s applying for U.S. citizenship in order to fight and oppose President Donald Trump.

The British actor said on Thursday’s episode of “The View” that he and his wife went to Washington last month to visit friends and to ask them what they could do about Trump.

He said the only answer was to “fight” and “oppose” Trump, but he can’t do that because he’s not a citizen.

The 76-year-old Stewart starred in “X-Men” and “Star Trek.” He reprised his role as X-Men founder Professor X in the Wolverine tale, “Logan,” which opened Friday.

This image released by Disney shows Josh Gad as LeFou (left) and Luke Evans as Gaston in a scene from “Beauty and the Beast,” opening nationwide March 17.

Subtle ‘gay moment’ in new Disney film generates buzz To be clear: “Brokeback Mountain,” this isn’t.

The so-called “gay moment” in Disney’s new live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast” is subtle – so subtle that one could easily miss it with an ill-timed sneeze or glance away from the screen. And it might sail over the heads of young viewers.

But the cast and director said it is indeed a gay moment – one they’re proud of. And advocates are calling it a big step forward for Disney and for youth entertainment.

Mere word of it also was enough to lead one Alabama drive-in theater to cancel plans to show the film – apparently without having seen it, because it doesn’t open nationwide until March 17.

The scene in question involves the character of LeFou (Josh Gad), the timid and lovable sidekick to the preening villain Gaston (Luke Evans). Without spoiling too much, it’s safe to say that LeFou spends much of the film in Gaston’s thrall, and toward the end also has a moment – a few seconds, really – where the same-sex theme is more overt.

At the film’s Los Angeles premiere Thursday evening, Gad said he was “very proud” of the scene. “(Director) Bill Condon did an amazing job of giving us an opportunity to create a version of LeFou that isn’t like the original ... but that makes him more human and makes him a wonderfully complex character to some extent,” he said. “And there’s a moment at the end of the film that I don’t want to ruin ... because I want the surprise to be intact, but I’m very proud of it. I think it’s an incredible moment and it’s subtle, but I think it’s effective.”

New ways to use old rugs

s part of the red-hot globalism trend, “tribal style” – exotic, eclectic and influenced by travel – has spread from fashion to home decor. There’s a caravan of interesting furniture and accessories that work in any space, from the sleek and contemporary to the simple and functional.

“It’s a look that’s meant to reflect the places you’ve been and decorative objets you brought home,” said New York designer Elaine Griffin. “And it’s perfectly fine if you’ve voyaged no further than the internet, in the comfort of your living room.”

Rugs are a big part of the style, and not just on the floor. Griffin said “the flat-weave kilim and dhurrie rugs that are now back with a vengeance move stylishly onto upholstered chairs, sofas and ottomans.”

Kilim rugs are admired for their bold, geometric flat-weave patterns.

They’ve been hand-woven for generations in Turkey, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

A lot of their appeal lies in the bold motifs and pigment dyes, with elements like wolf’s mouths, stars and fertility symbols interpreted in geometric patterns. Back in Victorian England, smoking rooms and nooks were rife with kilim-covered furniture.

(https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ LLOJB8h7rd0gu8) Both new and antique versions are interesting, working well not only as upholstery, but as wall hangings or table coverings. The hand-crafted nature of kilims, Oriental and rag rugs plays well with woods and metals. White walls make them pop, while more saturated hues are complementary frames.

Joss & Main’s style director, Donna Garlough, said pouf ottomans are one of her favorite twists on the Bohemian-inspired trend.

“They’re a great way to add a pop of pattern to a room, and you can use them for extra seating if you’re having a party,” she said.

An added bonus of these materials is they’re pretty tightly woven

and durable, and the bright patterns often camouflage stains.

“You don’t have to worry as much about a toddler spilling juice on a kilim-covered cocktail ottoman as you would if the upholstery were linen or leather,” Garlough said.

Atlanta-based artist and textile designer Beth Lacefield has done a collection of kilim poufs for Surya in both muted tones and vibrant hues like raspberry, burnt orange and olive green.

Boston designer Jill Rosenwald’s pouf collection for the retailer is also inspired by Indian flat-weave rugs, with sophisticated chocolate browns, grays and other muted hues.

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening?

My dad was born and raised in the Netherlands, and, of course, you know all Dutch people grow tulips and have a “green thum.” He was a landscaper, and we had a greenhouse where we grew cut flowers – primarily carnations and mums.

We also started annuals – flowers and vegetables in the spring. We had a huge garden at home – like 100 tomato plants – and supplied all our friends and neighbors with fresh vegetables in the summer. I always enjoyed working in the garden, probably because I liked to eat the fresh vegetables.

What is your garden specialty and why?

I don’t know if I have a specialty. I like to plant some annual flowers for their bright colors, but I’ve been planting more perennials recently to try and cut down the work. I also have a vegetable garden – raised beds because of the clay in our McHenry County soil.

What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it.

We have a long driveway, so we have perennials at the entrance. At the first curve in the driveway we have a big beautiful Fat Albert spruce. About halfway up the drive, just past the pastures and barn, is a welcoming garden with perennials.

Further up the drive is a Dutch windmill on the farm pond. The windmill was fun to plant – lots of tulips. The latest area we are developing is a hosta garden. We presently have several hundred hostas nestled in among the oaks.

What motivated you to become a Master Gardener? What projects do you volunteer for within the organization?

I retired and was looking for an outlet to volunteer with people of similar interests.

Master Gardeners was the perfect fit because I found a group that was involved in the community, knowledgeable about many things and fun to be with. I spend a good part of my time volunteering at the Harvard Garden, next to the library.

32 Heart attack survivors can be depressed Dear Doctor: It has been six weeks since my husband, who is 57, had a heart attack, and I’m afraid he’s depressed. His doctors say he’s doing really well, but he’s getting more quiet and withdrawn. How can we help him?

Dear Reader: Depression following a heart attack is not uncommon. Up to onethird of people who have had a heart attack report symptoms of depression. It’s not just the body that suffers the effects of a heart attack – there can be a mental and emotional toll as well.

A person who goes through a life-changing medical event – and a heart attack certainly qualifies – often faces an emotional struggle once the initial danger is past. He or she can wind up feeling alone, frightened and fundamentally different from everyone around them. Even when surrounded by a loving family and caring friends, these feelings of isolation can be profound.

The first challenge is to recognize that something is wrong.

In addition to becoming quiet and withdrawn, symptoms of depression include anxiety, persistent feelings of sadness, problems with concentration, and a lack of interest in the people and activities that were once important. There may be changes in appetite or in eating habits, as well as changes in sleep patterns, whether insomnia or sleeping too much.

One danger posed by depression is that heart patients may not fully engage in their recovery. They may not be careful to always take their medications, and may either put off or refuse to make the lifestyle changes recommended by their doctors.

Studies have shown that individuals who are depressed may be twice as likely to have another heart attack.

The most effective treatments for post-heart attack depression are anti-de-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier pressants and seeing a therapist, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Anti-depressants can ease the burden of the difficult feelings that have derailed the patient’s journey back to normal daily life. And in talk therapy, patients can safely explore their fears, pinpoint their anxieties, and gain an understanding of the many ways that surviving a heart attack has reshaped their lives.

If your husband isn’t interested in the one-on-one environment of a therapist’s office, then a support group is a good alternative. The chance to meet other heart patients and to hear their stories and to share his own can go a long way toward piercing the wall of isolation.

Another excellent avenue of support is something called cardiac rehabilitation.

It’s a highly structured program, usually 36 weeks long, that includes exercise, education and counseling, all done under careful medical supervision.

The cardiac rehab team typically consists not only of doctors and nurses, but also dietitians, exercise physiologists and other professionals. Participants attend classes and lectures, get important information about the medications they are taking and learn how to return to their daily lives.

Most of all, I suggest talking to your family doctor, who can help you with whichever path your husband is willing to pursue.

you are experiencing a lot of turmoil. But right now, you already have a job, and it’s to concentrate on your studies. The better your grades are, the stronger your chances will be of completing your education and becoming an independent adult. Good grades will better your chances of qualifying for financial aid to accomplish that goal.

What may seem overwhelming right now – including your sadness about your grandmother’s illness – can be overcome by staying physically active. I’m sorry you’re experiencing all this at such a tender age, but it would be good for both of you if you give her as much love, patience and understanding as you can. Although there may be no cure for her illness right now, the worldwide scientific community is searching for an answer.

If you have the courage, talk to your mother privately about your concerns because you may be mistaken about her cheating. It would be healthier than bottling up your feelings as you have been doing.

P.S. For extra money, consider dog-walking, baby-sitting and odd jobs such as doing yard work for neighbors.

Dear Abby: I am deeply disturbed to have learned after having been married to “John” for four years, that he never divorced his last wife. He insists they are legally divorced because she abandoned him 10 years ago.

I feel betrayed, used and abused, and I don’t know what to do. We’ve built a home and combined our finances. I can’t even pay bills without him. If I leave, I lose everything I have established. What do I do? Please help me feel adequate again. – Betrayed in the

Jerry Gillies, an author in the area of finance, said, “Make sure you visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.”

A bridge declarer wants to make his contract; the defenders wish to defeat him. This week, being successful as declarer has required visualizing both the nasty distribution and how to survive it. Here is one more example.

How should South have played in four spades? West led the diamond ace: three, nine (encouraging), two.

West continued with the diamond king and another diamond.

North’s sequence showed game-going values with exactly five spades. Here, three no-trump would have been easy, but South removed to the 5-3 fit. He was worried that a club lead might have been fatal to three no-trump.

Four spades looked like a walk in the park too, with ... apparently ... five spades, four hearts and one club readily available. Declarer ruffed the third diamond and played a spade to his ace. East’s club discard was a mortal blow that South had not visualized. The contract could no longer be made.

Just in case the spades were 5-0, or East had begun with a doubleton diamond and could overruff a low spade, declarer should have discarded a club or heart from the board at trick three. Yes, East would have taken the trick with his queen, but he would have had no winning continuation. Probably he would have shifted to a club, but South would have won with his ace, drawn trumps and claimed those 10 winners.

Try to visualize nasty distribution and how to circumnavigate it.

What to watch NBA: L.A. Clippers at Bulls, 7:30 p.m., ABC Two days after surprising Golden State, the Bulls take on another Western Conference team likely bound for the playoffs.

ALGONQUIN – Jacobs did everything it could to make the night enjoyable and free of worry.

Nik Balkcom and Cooper Schwartz started things off by each hitting a 3-pointer.

The Golden Eagles swarmed over St. Charles North’s every move. When the North Stars ventured inside, 6-foot-9 Cameron Krutwig was there swatting some shots and changing others.

It all added up to a fulfilling, undramatic 55-39 victory in the Class 4A Jacobs Regional boys basketball championship Friday at the Eagles’ Nest, Jacobs’ third such title in four seasons.

Jacobs (28-1) set a school record with the win and will face Hononegah (23-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Elgin Sectional at Chesbrough Fieldhouse.

The Indians defeated Rockford East, 67-48, to win their own regional Friday.

“It feels really good,” said Balkcom, a junior guard who tossed in 14 points.

“I’m only 16, and there’s not a lot of guys who can say they’ve been to a sectional semifinal twice. We really prepared well. Prepare, prepare, prepare. We knew how we were going to guard No. 4 (North’s Anthony Delisi).

We did that very well.”

The Eagles ran Balkcom and others at Delisi throughout the game and limited him to 13 points. Their man-toman defense made it tough on North (19-9) all over the floor.

“I say it every game, that (defense) is our staple,” Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts said. “We seem to bring that every game. We may not play that great, but we always bring that (defense). Our preparation, the job our coaching staff does and the way our kids go out and execute what we talk about is really good.”

Jacobs led by double digits most of the game. The North Stars were able to pare the lead to 31-25 with 1:35 in the third quarter after Erik Larsen had a three-point play and hit a 3 from the

The Jacobs student section erupts after Jacobs guard Ajani Rodriguez (3) makes a 3-point shot in the third quarter of the Class 4A Jacobs Regional final Friday in Algonquin. Jacobs won, 55-39, and will move on to the Elgin Sectional.

Jacobs’ win total sets a school record, previously held by the Golden Eagles’ 2007 and 2008 teams, which both won 27 games.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Jacobs’ 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig almost had dunks 17 seconds apart late in the game as the Golden Eagles had things wrapped up. Krutwig took one big dribble from the free-throw line and dunked with 1:37 remaining.

He got a pass on a fast break on the next possession but had to lay that one in. “I wish I could have jammed the last one, but I was running on empty there,” Krutwig said. ”It was a great moment for us and the team to cap off the whole night.” left corner.

Junior Ajani Rodriguez swished a 3 on Jacobs’ next possession and then drew an offensive foul from Delisi.

The Eagles, who have won 13 consecutive games, kept a comfortable margin the rest of the way.

Krutwig finished with 14 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots.

His dunk with 1:37 remaining was the

“It was our defense for sure,” Krutwig said. “We were shutting them down left and right. That comes with preparation. We watch a lot of film and do it on the court.”

Balkcom was 5 for 5 from the field with one turnover at point guard.

Schwartz also hit a 3 early in the second quarter and Ryan Phillips added nine points.

“We said before the game, ‘Let’s get out early,’ ” Balkcom said. “Coop (Schwartz) does what he does.”

North coach Tom Poulin thought Delisi was not as effective as usual after turning an ankle on the last play of the first quarter but was also impressed with Jacobs.

“They defended with a passion, with a purpose, and they got all over the boards,” Poulin said. “We’ve been pressured by a lot of teams. They’re the most physical team we’ve seen, hands on, denying Anthony. It wasn’t our best for whatever reason. Maybe it was all Jacobs.”

Marengo, however, shot 8 for 8 from the free-throw line in the final minute.

“He was incredible tonight,” R-B coach Brandon Creason said of Bayer.

“He’s been incredible for four years.

He’s the best player I’ve ever coached.

“He showed tonight just how big of a heart he has. I mean, he carried us.”

Bayer scored 10 field goals, including four 3-pointers, and shot 10 for 12 from the free-throw line. The four-year varsity guard embraced friends courtside after a hard-fought loss.

“We were just playing hard,” Bayer said. “We were just battling. We fought to the end.”

R-B made an effort early in the game to keep the ball out of Volkening’s hands.

Instead, Volkening’s teammates shouldered the load.

Junior guard Blaine Borhart scored 16 points, nine in the first half, to help his team go up by 10 at halftime. Volkening scored only five of his team’s 28 firsthalf points.

“Coach told us before the game that other guys were going to have to step up,” Volkening said. “That’s exactly what they did. I’m proud of my guys.”

Alex Schirmer added eight points.

Borhart led the way with eight rebounds.

Mark Marzahl and Brady Gibson each scored four for R-B. Shane Byrne added three.

Marengo’s lead reached 13 in the third quarter before the Rockets rallied to cut it to two.

The Indians calmly knocked down their free throws, then celebrated at center court with their regional title plaque before heading to the locker room for their celebratory screaming and yelling.

“This is what I’ve been playing for since sixth, seventh grade,” Borhart said. “It’s an amazing feeling.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A PALATINE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

No. 10 seed McHenry gives Conant scare

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com PALATINE – Gavin Markgraff’s 3-point attempt sailed through the hoop as Conant’s Jimmy Sotos’ hip turned into McHenry’s junior sharpshooter on the follow-through, making contact and causing Markgraff to fall to the floor late in the third quarter.

Markgraff confidently made the ensuing free throw to complete a four-point play, putting the Warriors within shouting distance of second-seeded Conant.

Unfortunately for McHenry, the Cougars – like they did for most of the night – had an answer.

A corner 3 by Danny Ranallo at the third-quarter buzzer stretched the Cougars’ lead back to 10, and the Warriors couldn’t cut the lead any closer than seven points Friday in a 51-36 loss in the Class 4A Palatine Regional final.

The No. 10-seeded Warriors, making their first regional championship appearance since they won the Cary-Grove Regional title in 2012, finished the season with an 18-12 record – the most victories for the program since 2004 (19).

The Cougars (26-4) increased their

“We kind of figured it out in the locker room, we ended up having seven practices and six games with a whole (healthy) roster. It’s disappointing because it’s over, but I’m not disappointed in the year, or what the guys did.”

Markgraff led the Warriors offensively with 17 points on 5-of-14 shooting with four 3s. Senior Colton Klein added six points, Maki Mohr finished with five, and Gio Calabrese made one 3.

Senior Matt Mohr and Patrick Breisch both finished with two points apiece, and were tasked with guarding 6-foot-9 forwards Mike Downing (12 points) and Ryan Davis (nine points), respectively.

“They used their length to their best

advantage, obviously,” Markgraff said.

“They were above and beyond the best team we’ve played all year.

“I feel like they were just active on defense. Once a shot went up, they limited us to one shot.”

Sotos, who is going to Bucknell next year, matched Markgraff with 17 points, hitting three 3s. Ranallo had eight points, and Ben Schols had five. Conant outrebounded McHenry, 26-14.

Markgraff said they used the motivation of being a No. 10 seed to their advantage at the end of the season and in the playoffs. McHenry almost knocked off Jacobs, the Fox Valley Conference champion, late in the season.

“Everybody underestimated us,” Markgraff said. “They gave us that No. 10 seed. That was like a slap in the face to us. I think we proved a lot of people wrong here. We just played one of the top teams in the state pretty tough.”

Klein, one of seven seniors on the Warriors, said he sees the team going even further next year.

“We really just love playing the game hard, getting on the floor and scrapping it up instead of shying away from contact,” Klein said. “They’ll be good.”

RICHMOND – Marengo boys basketball coach Nate Wright didn’t have to say much to his team in the locker room after the game.

“We screamed and yelled a lot,” Wright said.

It was a good kind of screaming and yelling.

The Indians celebrated their second IHSA Class 3A regional championship in three years after defeating Richmond-Burton, 53-45, on the Rockets’ home court Friday night.

“I don’t think it’s hit me yet,” Marengo guard Mike Volkening said. “It’s pretty surreal right now. This season we weren’t really supposed to be a team that does something like this. I think we’ve proved a lot of people wrong.”

Volkening led the Indians (23-7) with 17 points. He and his teammates will take on Glenbard South at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Genoa-Kingston Sectional semifinals.

R-B wouldn’t let Marengo advance without a battle, however. Senior guard Blaine Bayer did everything in his pow-

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: BUBBLE WATCH

Jacksonville St. stuns Belmont

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press

The Big East has been strong at the top, led by defending national champion Villanova.

The second-ranked Wildcats (23-3, 14-3 Big East) won the regular-season conference title and will be the No. 1 seed in next week’s Big East tournament regardless of what happens Saturday against Georgetown.

No. 13 Butler (23-6, 12-5) is in good shape for the NCAA tournament, and Creighton (23-7, 10-7) should be as well despite dropping out of the AP Top 25 this week.

The other four Big East teams on the NCAA bubble might still have some to work to do – or at least avoid a bad loss.

Seton Hall (19-10, 9-8) avoided a misstep in one of those can’t-lose games by beating Georgetown. The Pirates can help their résumé by beating No. 13 Butler, but still should be in good NCAA shape barring a quick exit in the conference tournament.

Providence (19-11, 9-8) had a similar win by beating DePaul this week but can’t afford losing to St. John’s on Saturday or an early conference tournament exit. The Friars already lost to St. John’s once this season, one of several bad losses already on their résumé.

Marquette (18-11, 9-8) has proved it can score and has a win over then-No. 1 Villanova on its resume. The Golden Eagles have trouble on the defensive end, however, which has put them on the bubble.

Marquette beat fellow bubble team Xavier on Wednesday and has a big potential booster Saturday, facing Creighton in Milwaukee.

Xavier (18-12, 8-9) was once among the elite teams in the conference. Then point guard Edmond Sumner went down with a torn ACL, sending the Musketeers into a tail spin.

Xavier also had to play without Trevon Blueitt in two games and had its losing streak stretched to six with the loss

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Malcolm Drumwright scored 21 points, Greg Tucker added 18, and Jacksonville State (19-14) upset the Ohio Valley Conference tournament’s No. 1 seed, the Belmont Bruins, 65-59, Friday night.

Huntley graduate Amanze Egekeze scored nine points for Belmont.

It’s the second straight season Belmont (22-6) has earned the top seed and lost in the semifinals. During the regular season, Belmont beat Jacksonville State, 77-60 and 66-53. The Bruins finished 15-1 in the OVC’s regular season. in a season that looked lost early. A loss to Maryland on Saturday and an early exit in the conference tournament could change that.

ON THE RISE Northwestern: The Wildcats’ long wait

to finally reach the NCAA tournament might be over. Northwestern (21-9, 10-6 Big Ten) had a rough go two weeks ago with losses to Illinois and Indiana but followed that with a win over fellow bubbler Michigan.

Nevada: The Wolf Pack (24-6, 13-4 Mountain West) have bounced back from two losses in three games with a five-game winning streak. They face a big game against Colorado State and might have to hope the MWC is a two-bid conference if they don’t win the MWC tournament.

12) already were teetering on the bubble, and a 30-point loss to Utah on Thursday night is not going to push the needle forward. Cal might need to beat Colorado and a deep Pac-12 Tournament run to reach the dance.

VCU: The Rams (23-7, 13-4 Atlantic 10) appeared to be a lock, then last week happened. Losses to Rhode Island and Dayton put a lot more importance on Saturday’s home game against George Mason.

Houston: The Cougars (20-9, 11-6 American Athletic) failed on a chance for a resume-boosting win this week, losing, 65-47, to No. 18 Cincinnati. Now Houston likely has to avoid losing to East Carolina and make a deep run in the conference tournament to have a shot.

Tennessee: The Vols (15-15, 7-9 SEC) might need to win the SEC tournament after losing six of their past eight games, including to LSU on Wednesday.

Teams will square off in MVC tourney semis The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS – Deontae Hawkins scored 19 points, Keyshawn Evans had 16 and Illinois State set a program record Friday with its 26th win, beating Evansville, 80-69, in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament quarterfinals.

Paris Lee added 13 points and seven assists for the top-seeded Redbirds (26-5), who blocked a tournament- and school-record 14 shots. Hawkins, Phil Fayne and Daouda Ndiaye had four blocks apiece.

The Redbirds will face Southern Illinois in a semifinal Saturday.

S. Illinois 55, Loyola 50: Mike Rodriguez scored 16 points, Sean Lloyd had 14 and fourth-seeded Southern Illinois held off fifth-seeded Loyola in the quarterfinals of the MVC tournament.

A week after the Salukis (17-15) beat the Ramblers (18-14), 72-70, with a late 3-pointer to close the regular season, both teams struggled.

No. 21 Wichita St. 82, Bradley 56:

Darral Willis Jr. scored 17 points and Rashard Kelly added 14 as Wichita State overpowered Bradley for a victory in the MVC tournament quarterfinals.

The second-seeded Shockers (28-4) shook off a slow start to beat Bradley (13-20) for the 16th straight time. Bradley, the No. 7 seed, hasn’t beaten Wichita State since Feb. 24, 2010.

Darrell Brown led Bradley with 18 points, and Antoine Pittman had 13.

Wichita State advances to the semifinals Saturday and will meet No. 6 seed Missouri State (17-15), a 70-64 winner over No. 3 seed Northern Iowa (14-16).

WOMEN No. 9 Ohio St. 99, Northwestern 68: At

Indianapolis, Kelsey Mitchell is justifying her standing as the Big Ten’s top player. The league’s player of the year made six 3-pointers and finished with 27 points to lead Ohio State (26-5) over Northwestern (20-11) in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament.

Nia Coffey had 21 points for the Wildcats.

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Hendricks eases into role of mentor

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – For three seasons, Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks has grown into one of the top pitchers in the major leagues, on smarts, command, confidence and one of the most effective changeups in the league.

Now, after winning an ERA title, beating Clayton Kershaw to clinch the Cubs’ first National League pennant in 71 years and Kyle Hendricks starting Game 7 of the Cubs’ first World Series title in 108 years, can Hendricks do anything more for the organization?

Even beyond building on all that success during a 2017 with all eyes upon him?

Some believe he can. Hendricks hopes he can. And, in fact, he’s already doing it.

“He’s a great guy to learn from,” rookie left-hander Rob Zastryzny said.

“A lot of guys say he doesn’t overpower you, but he really does. He overpowers with location. He overpowers you with outthinking you. That’s something that anyone can learn.

“He’s mastered it, and if you can master what he does, then you can pitch like him, then you can be third in Cy Young voting, or whatever he was – I mean, I’ll take any advantage I can get.”

Between his thinking-man’s pitching game and his good nature and communication skills, Hendricks is already helping groom other young pitchers coming through the system.

“He enjoys doing that, and we’ve sent a couple young pitchers his way to learn

Reds 8, Cubs 4 (Mesa, Ariz.)

The Cubs dropped their second game to the Reds in as many days, 8-4, in Mesa, Arizona.

They went scoreless through seven innings after going scoreless through six Thursday. Top prospect Eloy Jimenez hit a solo homer and prospect Yasiel Balaguert belted a three-run shot in the Cubs’ four-run eighth.

HEYWARD WATCH Bounce-back hopeful Jason Heyward walked, grounded to first and struck out in his fifth game as he tries to load up on at-bats. He’s 0 for 13 with two walks. “I just want him to be comfortable,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I’ve liked his at-bats.”

NOT A FULL MONTY Lefty Mike Montgomery reached 31 pitches by the end of a five-batter first inning and had his request for a second inning declined in his second start. Part of that might have been the “60-something pitches” he threw in the bullpen Wednesday to rediscover a feel he said was missing. He gave up an unearned run and struck some things from him,” team president Theo Epstein said. “Especially with (Alec) Mills and (Eddie) Butler, two right-handers who have good changeups who are learning how to use them in the big leagues, learning how to throw them right-on-right is important. And Kyle’s one of the best in the league at that.”

Certainly, it’s a reach to look at Hendricks as a part of the Cubs’ vaunted pitching infrastructure led by pitching coach Chris Bosio and unsung strategist Mike Borzello.

But for an organization set up to acquire pitching from all directions, and

out three. Five of his six outs this spring have come on strikeouts.

TOUGH INNING Right-hander Aaron Brooks struggled in the third, allowing consecutive singles to load the bases. Then he hit Eugenio Suarez with a pitch, got a tough out on a line drive to first and hit Dilson Herrera with a pitch. At that point, he was pulled. Dallas Beeler took over, immediately hit another batter and walked a fourth run in before getting the final two outs of the inning.

LA STELLA RETURNS Infielder Tommy La Stella, who had been held out of games because of a tight hamstring, flied out in two at-bats and handled second base without issue.

ON DECK Dodgers at Cubs, Mesa, 2:05 p.m. Saturday, WGN-TV, cubs.com audio, Kenta Maeda vs. Kyle Hendricks.

– Gordon Wittenmyer

seeking ways to strengthen its prospect pipeline, Hendricks could be an especially useful resource over the next several years.

“I hope so. I would love to do it,” said Hendricks, who went 16-8 with a 2.13 ERA last season. “Even when I was in college, by my junior year, I just loved kind of helping out the freshman guys, making them comfortable, bringing them along. I wasn’t offering much as far as advice on pitching at that point – but just to help them out in any way I could. And I think being up here, it’s more of the same.

“You don’t feel it as a responsibility.

I enjoy it.”

He has certainly become a mentor to Zastryzny. A rival scout watching him pitch last year called him a “left-handed Kyle Hendricks” the way he pitched.

And even though the left-right translation adds a little nuance to the communication, Zastryzny soaks up what he can from Hendricks daily.

“I talk to him a lot about the way he does a bullpen, the way he prepares for games, because I like the way he goes about it,” Zastryzny said. “The way he throws his bullpen, it’s very precise.

He’s not just randomly throwing pitches. Everything has a purpose. That’s kind of how I go about my business now.”

Bosio said he sees Hendricks as a leader by example, if a young pitcher wants to pay attention.

“You have to watch what he does to really appreciate what Kyle Hendricks is,” Bosio said. “The one thing that we’ve worked extremely hard with on Kyle is pitching off previous pitches.

That’s where Kyle can really be a mentor with a lot of our young guys.

“A lot of our young guys that we have – yeah, they’re not top draft picks, they’re not top prospects, because we’re a position-player organization. And our infrastructure says that. That’s who we are.”

Bosio said the Cubs look for young pitchers that can throw strikes, are aggressive and are smart.

“Kyle Hendricks is that kind of guy,” he said.

And if Kyle Hendricks can help the club build more of the same kind of guys?

“I think he’s got a lot to offer,” Epstein said.

Maddon emphasizes defense in Series repeat bid

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs’ pitching staff led the majors last season with a 3.15 ERA, 36 points better than the second-best team.

They also led the majors in turning balls in play into outs with 82 runs saved, 31 more than the second-best team.

It doesn’t take a Ph.D. in sabermetrics to understand the magnitude of a group of fielders that saves a run every two games, or the impact that has on the quality of a pitching staff.

The question this spring, as Cubs manager Joe Maddon walks around camp in a “D-peat” T-shirt, isn’t so much

whether they can do it again, but whether they can get even better at the often underrated catching-and-throwing part of the game.

“I think the amount of room that we have grown on defense is pretty substantial,” said shortstop Addison Russell, a Gold Glove finalist in his first full season in the majors Addison last year. “I believe Russell we’re just scratching the surface as far as how good we can be.”

Russell isn’t even counting the upgrades the Cubs could see in center field

and behind the plate, depending on how often Albert Almora Jr. plays and what Willson Contreras looks like for a full season. They also could get a boost in the infield if Javy Baez gets more playing time than last year.

“We’re all getting better,” Russell said. “We’re all getting stronger, faster, more wise.”

The Cubs had four Gold Glove finalists last year, with right fielder Jason Heyward and first baseman Anthony Rizzo winning. Pitcher Jake Arrieta also was a finalist.

“Talking about D-peat, I like the way we’re catching the ball,” Maddon said of what he has seen in camp, especially when he discounts outfield play because

of the often tough conditions in Arizona.

Maddon even has talked up the projected weak link, left fielder Kyle Schwarber. He lauded the way Schwarber tracked balls in left Thursday night and has said more than once this spring, “This guy played much better left field than he was given credit for [in 2015].”

Notes: Anthony Rizzo missed his second consecutive game because of soreness in his lower back, but the Cubs said they don’t consider it serious. He could return Monday.

• Left-hander Rob Zastryzny said he felt fine Friday, the day after getting drilled on the calf by a ball hit back to the mound. He doesn’t expect to miss his next turn.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Move will mean more time at 2B for youngsters

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

The White Sox placed second baseman Brett Lawrie on waivers Friday. agent. Because arbitration contracts such as his aren’t guaranteed until Opening Day, the Sox would be on the hook for about $570,000 of his salary.

General manager Rick Hahn said the move was “difficult” but made for the sake of the rebuild. It means more time at second base for Tyler Saladino, whose numbers are comparable, and for Yolmer Sanchez and possibly Leury Garcia. Yoan Moncada, their prized prospect, likely will start the season at Triple-A but get to Chicago at some point this year.

“We are committed to giving an opportunity several of our young players, players who are going to be here for an extended period of time,’’ Hahn said.

When Lawrie was tendered a contract, third baseman Todd Frazier was viewed as a likely trade chip, and Lawrie gave them protection at third. The market for third basemen has cooled, and Frazier has also been hurt, so he all but certain to be with the Sox for the first half of the season.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Rodon throws off mound for first time at camp

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Carlos Rodon threw off a mound Friday for the first time this spring, and he will do it again Sunday, pitching coach Don Cooper said.

“He passed with flying colors,” Cooper said. “He’s starting to climb now.”

Cooper caused a bit of a stir when he said Rodon “had some arm stuff that was bothering him a little bit’’ last season, a disclosure that added insight to why Rodon is taking a slower approach to getty ready for the season.

“Part of it is he had some problems last year,’’ Cooper said. “We want to see if we can eliminate those problems, so we set up a little bit of a special schedule for him.’’

Rodon went on the disabled list July 9 with a sprained wrist after he slipped in the dugout, but arm issues were never publicized. General manager Rick Hahn, talking after Cooper, said Rodon dealt with arm “fatigue” between starts, altered his routine, rested while on the DL and finished the seaCarlos Rodon son strong.

“That in itself never would have risen to the point of putting him on the DL,” Hahn said.

Fatigue or soreness that pitchers work through are not uncommon. Rodon has said he feels good this spring and the Sox have insisted all along he is healthy.

“Anything that was going on with the

arm last season certainly didn’t rise to the level of what we would call injury or being hurt,” Hahn said.

Working through a 35-pitch bullpen session despite being under the weather would indicate Rodon is healthy. But he is behind everyone else. On Friday manager Rick Renteria suggested Rodon might not be ready for the first week because of his delayed schedule.

Cooper said “if everything goes right from this moment until the end of spring training he should make his first start, which is somewhere in the first five or six games.’’

Rodon, who was dealing with stomach issues, was unavailable for comment.

Abreu returns: Jose Abreu was in the lineup against the Padres on Friday night, happy and relieved his two days

of giving testimony in federal court in Miami behind him.

“I just hope the new kids who have this dream to play in the majors, they don’t have to pass through the whole journey that I had to pass,” said Abreu through an interpreter, after testifying in the trial of former agent Bartolo Hernandez and his trainer and friend Julio Estrada.

Hernandez and Estrada are accused of illegally smuggling Cuban players into the U.S. In court, Abreu said he ate a page of a fake passport on a flight to the U.S., fearing it would be discovered.

That is one small part of what he went through to get to the U.S. And to bring his family.

“I’m just very glad to be here and that all of those problems are behind me,” Abreu said. “I feel happy.’’

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Brett Lawrie’s exit from the White Sox was a quiet one, an uncharacteristic departure for the energetic infielder known for bouncing around and playing resident deejay in the Sox clubhouse.

It also was somewhat surprising, considering the Sox tendered the 27-year-old veteran a contract and signed him to a $3.5 million deal in December. When he was put on waivers Friday, you had to wonder why he was brought back in the first place to a rebuilding team.

Lawrie, who encountered lower-body issues in camp yet again after he missed the last two-plus months of the 2016 season, got bit by the injury bug again this spring. And as the Sox completed their first week of Cactus League games without him taking drills, they decided to cut ties now without the risk of losing too much money in the deal.

If Lawrie clears waivers, which seems likely, he can become a free

are part of this process,’’ Hahn said.

“When we committed to bringing Brett back it was early in the offseason and we envisioned various transactions that would have opened up more play time for him, whether it was at second or at third.

“None of those deals came to fruition and as a result there really just wasn’t the opportunity to accomplish what we wanted to accomplish with our young players and get him reasonable play time here in Chicago.’’

Lawrie, 27, batted .248 with 22 doubles, 12 home runs and 36 RBI in 94 games last season, his first with the Sox after being acquired from Oakland on Dec. 9, 2015.

After arriving at camp saying he was close to being ready, Lawrie participated in drills and then was sidelined with lower body muscle discomfort. He attributed his problems last season, which started with his left hamstring and extended to various other issues in his lower half, to the use of orthotics that messed with his balance.

Hahn said he wished Lawrie well and fully expects him to catch on elsewhere.

Lawrie didn’t play in a spring training game.

“I’m not too concerned about it, to be honest,” manager Rick Renteria said Thursday. “It’s a situation where we do have coverage.”

The Sox have 59 players remaining in major-league camp. The 40-man roster decreases to 38.

10 BLACKHAWKS 2, ISLANDERS 1 (SO)

Hawks rally, beat Isles in shootout

By BRIAN SANDALOW For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – There was no Artem Anisimov. There was no Nick Schmaltz. There was no Niklas Hjalmarsson.

Even as hot as the Blackhawks have been recently, losing two of your topsix forwards and one of your best defensemen is tough to overcome.

But the Hawks figured out a way.

Artemi Panarin tied Artemi the game with 1:14 left Panarin in the third, Panarin and Jonathan Toews scored in the shootout and Corey Crawford made 31 saves to give the Hawks a 2-1 win Friday over the New York Islanders. The Hawks won their sixth straight and 11th of 12 to pull within one point of idle Minnesota for the Western Conference lead. Panarin’s goal saved the Hawks from their fifth shutout of the season, before he and Toews completed the rally in the shootout.

“There’s no doubt we have the guys to step up and make up for the

loss of a few key players tonight,” Toews said.

Brock Nelson connected for a goal in the second period and Thomas Greiss stopped 30 shots for the Islanders, who played Thursday night in Dallas and are fighting for a playoff spot.

The Hawks don’t have to worry about a playoff spot, and they didn’t have much to worry about before meeting the Islanders.

Entering Friday’s game, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville liked what he had been seeing. The lineup was meshing as all four lines were click-

ing and, in general, the Hawks were getting closer to what they want to be.

They didn’t show all of those traits until late against New York.

“I thought we were pretty good defensively. Second period, Crow made some big saves for us and hung in there,” Quenneville said. “I thought our best period was the third, generated some zone time, possession time, some chances. Finally getting one through.”

For the first two periods it didn’t look as if the Hawks would get one through Greiss.

“I think collectively, the first 40 (minutes) maybe wasn’t our best,” Toews said. “I didn’t think we were playing with that speed and that energy that we have been as of late.”

The Hawks and Isles ended an unmemorable first period scoreless, and there were only a couple prime chances for either team. New York had one on a Hawks power play after a turnover at the Islanders’ blue line that fell to John Tavares, but Crawford kept the game scoreless when he made a save with 10:13 left.

Already dealing with multiple injuries and absences, the Hawks

got a scare late in the first on an Islanders power play when a Nick Leddy shot hit Marcus Kruger in the left arm. Kruger was clearly in pain and favoring the arm but stayed in the game.

The second period wasn’t that much better for the Hawks, who fell behind 1-0 at the 13:27 mark when Nelson scored at the end of a Hawks power play.

In the third, the Hawks showed more life. Greiss’ right pad save on Ryan Hartman after a feed from Toews with 13:09 left kept the Islanders ahead, where they stayed until Panarin’s goal from the left circle. “ I t h i n k t h e r e w a s o b v i o u sly more desperation being down a goal,” Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith said. “We weren’t thrilled with how we played the first couple periods but we were moving pucks and getting up on the play and just skating better. I think it comes down to a little more desperation and pressing to get that goal to tie it up.”

In overtime, Crawford made five saves, while Greiss made three to send the game to the shootout.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Versatile Hartman becoming Hawks’ utility man

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Ryan Hartman is becoming Joel Quenneville’s utility man.

Hartman has bounced around the lineup all season, and appeared to find a permanent home on the third line with Tanner Kero and Marian Hossa. But with Nick Schmaltz likely out Friday night against the New York Islanders because of an illness, Hartman was the obvious choice to move up to that coveted top-line spot alongside Jonathan Toews and Richard Panik.

Hartman spent much of Wednesday’s win over Pittsburgh in that spot after Schmaltz replaced the injured Artem Anisimov on the second line.

“He’s been good all year for us,” Quenneville said. “He has that versatility, and played up there a bit already. He gives you a little sandpaper, as well. But I thought he fit in with those guys and did a nice job.”

Hartman entered the game with

15 goals, all at even strength. Only superstar rookies Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine, the top two picks in last June’s draft, have more among first-year players. Throw in Hartman’s penchant for game-saving, last-second, diving blocked shots – he had one Sunday against the Blues and one last month in Dallas.

“The other night, you see the big block that Hartzy came up Ryan Hartman with at the end of the game, and he’s just making plays like that that make a difference,” Toews said. “Doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s scoring a goal or a fight or a hit or backchecking, Hartzy seems to be doing it right now.”

Back on the draw: Marcus Kruger won six of 10 faceoffs Wednesday night against the Penguins.

That’s nothing special for a guy who’s won about half his faceoffs throughout his career, but it was noteworthy because it was the first game he took the majority of his line’s draws

since he returned from a hand injury Jan. 26. Dennis Rasmussen, a natural center, had been taking the bulk of faceoffs for Kruger – who dealt with a similar issue when he returned from wrist surgery last March – when they were on the same line together.

“I talked about it with the coaches, but it was more my decision, and when I felt comfortable,” Kruger said. “That’s been a big part of my game, and it’s a little bit easier being in your position right away (rather than starting on the wing). It’s only been a game and a half where I’ve taken a lot of draws, but that’s an area I want to help out with. I’m trying to get better and better.”

Nick up: Nick Leddy, traded to the Islanders before the start of the 201415 season, has turned into a top-pairing defenseman in New York. He entered Friday’s game with 10 goals (10th in the league among defensemen) and 24 assists, and is averaging nearly 23 minutes a game. Leddy was a third-pairing guy in Chicago and never fully earned Quenneville’s trust. But he has earned Quenne-

ville’s respect with his play in New York.

“He didn’t get a ton of ice time (with the Hawks), but you have to give him credit for how he progressed,” Quenneville said. “All of a sudden, he’s assuming [top] matchups, important minutes. You love the way he skates and moves the puck out of his own end. He’s [shown] some improvement to his game, where it looks like he’s gotten to the next level.”

Injury update: Anisimov participated in Friday’s morning skate and could play Saturday in Nashville, a much quicker turnaround than expected after he left Wednesday’s game with an apparent leg injury.

Schmaltz also could play in Nashville. Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper body) should start skating over the weekend and is targeting a return Thursday against Anaheim.

Scott Darling participated in the morning skate, but did not dress because of an upper-body injury. The Hawks recalled goaltender Jeff Glass from Rockford to serve as Corey Crawford’s backup.

12 NFL COMBINE

Golladay’s ascent lands him in Indy

NIU wideout says his size, catching radius, athleticism his strengths

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com INDIANAPOLIS – Kenny Golladay had one offer coming out of St. Rita – the University of North Dakota.

Five years later, Golladay is fresh off two successful seasons at Northern Illinois and working out with the top prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s been an impressive ascent for the Englewood native.

“I’m glad [North Dakota] took a chance on a South Side kid from Chicago,” Golladay said Friday, discussing his college path. “Then, I played my true freshman and true sophomore year, and the coaches ended up getting fired. I made my own highlight tape, sent it to my high school coach and asked him to give it to the college coaches coming in recruiting high school kids. NIU jumped on me, and I sat out that first year, 2014, and then 2015 and 2016, hit the ground rolling.”

That might be an understatement, as Golladay had 73 catches for 1,129 yards and 10 scores in DeKalb in 2015 and then 1,156 receiving yards on 87 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2016.

by Toledo cornerback Cheatham Norrils on Nov. 3, 2015, in Toledo, Ohio. Golladay is at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis trying to impress NFL scouts.

He was second-team All-Mid-American Conference as a junior and first-team as a senior.

He singled out his game against Wyoming this past season (82 yards rushing, 144 yards receiving, three total touchdowns) and the game against Toledo (14 catches for 149 yards and a score) as game tapes he hopes coaches watch.

As one of the bigger receivers, Golladay is priding himself on that frame to set him apart from the rest of the pass catchers.

“My size, catching radius and being a big guy who is very athletic,” Golladay said of his strengths.

Last season, Golladay was used often on jet sweeps, which he said shows

NFL teams his versatility. He had 20 carries for 192 yards and two scores.

Golladay checked in at 6-foot-4, 218 pounds at the combine. An elbow injury in the season finale didn’t deter him in the bench press, as he put up 18 reps, which tied for fifth among receivers.

“I’m at 100 percent,” he said. “I benched today. It was just a little dislocation. No structural damage. Everything is 100 percent.”

A Bears fan growing up, Golladay looked up to players at his position: Devin Hester, Johnny Knox and Brandon Marshall. He said, “it’d be pretty cool going back home” if he had an opportunity to visit, or even play for the Bears.

Coming out of Englewood, Golladay expressed how important it was for him to find football and have the right people around him.

“You’ve got to just go your own direction. Pick your direction,” he said.

“I didn’t want to be outside like that, I wanted to be involved in sports and play football. I kept a level head, and I got parents that keep me on a straight line. I’m just grateful.”

His background and college route means an opportunity to make it in the NFL is that much more important for Golladay.

“It’d be huge,” he said. “Dream come true. I’m just doing everything to the best of my ability to make that happen.”

Top QBs respond to questions about their perceived flaws

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com INDIANAPOLIS – John Elway said there isn’t a “surefire” quarterback in the draft. Mike Mayock said he doesn’t have a quarterback in his top 10.

It’s “poke holes in the quarterback prospects” season, and it’s been heightened for 2017.

No one is lauding this group of quarterbacks. Instead, we’re wondering whether the Browns, 49ers or Bears even would take one in the top three.

And those teams – along with other QB-interested clubs such as the Jets, Bills, Texans, Chiefs or Cardinals – are weighing the weaknesses with the desperation to get it right at quarterback.

The top-three quarterbacks spoke to the media Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. They all know about the knocks on them and why teams might be leery.

Here’s a look at how North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer answered those questions:

TRUBISKY

The former Tar Heel’s most glaring drawback is the fact he has only 13 starts under his belt.

“That’s a question everybody’s asking,” Trubisky said. “I think I definitely have enough experience. I only have 13 starts, but I played in 30 games.

I’ve come in off the bench and I’ve seen significant time. … I’m a Mitch Trubisky student of the game and I’ve seen a lot of defenses, and I think that’s going to help me.”

Trubisky spun the fact that he rode the pine for a majority of his time in Chapel Hill – it gave him more time to deal Deshaun with adversity and study Watson in the film room. He also defended his fellow quarterbacks.

“Who’s to say this quarterback class can’t be one of the best? Only the future will tell,” he said.

WATSON

The defending national champion knows that winning pedigree will help his draft stock. How he will handle a pro-style offense, however, is his perceived shortcoming.

“The biggest question that I’ve heard from different coaches was if I can change a protection, run the offense and recognize defensive coverages,” he DeShone Kizer said. “... They know that I’m just some other quarterback that’s running a spread offense. That [I’m a] guy that can operate, make good decisions and recognize what the defense is doing and be successful doing it.”

Watson also has to answer to his 17 interceptions last season.

“If I were in their shoes, I would poke holes, too,” he said. “I take full responsibility in all of that. Sometimes you just have bad luck. Sometimes the defense makes a good play. Sometimes I make a bad throw. … I’ve learned from those mistakes, and I’ve correct-

ed those and (I’m) going to move on from it.”

KIZER

The former Notre Dame quarterback asked the question himself.

“A guy with my size, my arm talent, my understanding of football, why do you go 4-8?” he said. “I’ve answered that question as truthfully as I possibly can, and that’s I didn’t make plays. Again, the ball’s in your hands as a quarterback every play. If you’re going to win games in the fourth quarter, then you’ve got to be the guy making the plays.”

Kizer’s honesty will be refreshing to teams, and he’s well aware of that knock, referencing the 4-8 record twice in his media session, but it hasn’t affected him.

“I’m pretty confident in my abilities,” he said. “I think with my size, my ability to read defenses – both pre- and post-snap – my ability to understand the game and my leadership I was able to develop at Notre Dame put me in position to achieve my goal of playing in the NFL.”
