British lawmakers: End sexist high-heel dress codes

By JILL LAWLESS

The Associated Press LONDON – In a debate that has gone from office corridors to Britain’s Parliament, lawmakers put their foot down Monday and told employers to stop making women wear high heels as part of corporate dress codes.

Members of Parliament debated a ban on mandatory workplace high heels, in response to a petition started by a receptionist who was sent home without pay for wearing flat shoes.

The debate was nonbinding, but the government promised to act against heel-height rules, makeup guidelines and other corporate codes that apply to women but not to men.

Labour lawmaker Helen Jones, who helped lead a parliamentary investigation into dress codes, said she and her colleagues were shocked by what they found.

“We found attitudes that belonged more – I was going to say in the 1950s, but probably the 1850s would be more accurate, than in the 21st century,” she told lawmakers at Parliament’s Westminster Hall.

Monday’s debate was triggered by the experience of Nicola Thorp, who was told in December 2015 that her smart flat shoes were unacceptable for a temporary assignment in London with finance firm PwC. Her employment agency, Portico, had a dress

WHERE IT’S AT

code specifying that female workers must wear non-opaque tights, have hair with “no visible roots,” wear “regularly reapplied” makeup – and appear in shoes with a heel between 2 and 4 inches high.

For Thorp, that was a step too far.

She started an online petition, calling formal workplace dress codes “outdated and sexist.” It has gathered more than 150,000 signatures, making it eligible for a debate in Parliament.

Thorp told the BBC after she launched the petition that “dress codes should reflect society.”

“Twenty years ago, women weren’t allowed to wear trousers in the same role that I’m doing now,” she said. “And it’s only because some women spoke up about that and said, ‘We feel like we have a right to wear trousers,’ that that’s changed.”

The British government said the law already forbids companies from discriminating against women, but a report from Parliament’s Women and Equalities Committee found that “discriminatory dress codes” remain commonplace in sectors including the retail and tourism industries.

The committee said it had heard from hundreds of women “who told us about the pain and long-term damage caused by wearing high heels for long periods in the workplace, as well as from women who had been required to dye their hair blond, to wear revealing outfits and to constantly reapply makeup.”

100-year-old Huntley leader remembered for enthusiasm

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Helen Marlowe – known for her work in the community with Marlowe Feed and Hatchery, McHenry County 4-H and First Congregational Church of Huntley – died Friday.

The Huntley resident was 100 years old.

Marlowe was born in Ringwood and graduated from McHenry High School, according to her obituary.

She attended the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago as a student of music performance in trumpet, French horn and marimba.

Marlowe was the first McHenry County delegate to the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C., her obituary said, and for more than 20 years, Marlowe worked with young women as an enthusiastic and creative 4-H leader.

Judy Corson of Woodstock worked with Marlowe in McHenry County 4-H. “She was always very, very dedicated,” Corson said. “In just the last few years, she used to always attend our recognition banquet.”

Corson said Marlowe donated the Henry Marlowe Award to 4-H in her husband’s memory. The award goes to an outstanding 4-H participant, Corson said.

Helen Marlowe married Henry Marlowe, a Huntley High School agriculture teacher, in 1935.

Although Marlowe Middle School in Lake in the Hills was named after Henry Marlowe, Huntley Community School District 158 spokesman Dan Armstrong said the school’s name represents both Marlowes.

“Especially after his passing, the school has held up Mrs. Marlowe as a symbol and ambassador and has appreciated her support, both financial and in attending numerous events at the school each year,”

Helen Marlowe attends the annual Veterans Day recognition program Nov. 11, 2016, in Lake in the Hills. Marlowe, known for her work in the community with Marlowe Feed and Hatchery, McHenry County 4-H and First Congregational Church of Huntley, died Friday.

If you go n WHAT: Visitation for Helen Marlowe n WHEN: 3 to 7 p.m. Friday n WHERE: First Congregational Church, 11628 E. Main St., Huntley n INFORMATION: Call James A. O’Connor Funeral Home at 847-669-5111.

Armstrong said in a statement.

When Henry Marlowe died in 1984, Helen stepped in and operated Marlowe Feed and Hatchery, changing the business to accommodate the changing demographics of McHenry

County from farms to suburban homes, until 1998, when she retired at age 82.

While operating the business, Helen Marlowe continued her 42year position as director of the four handbell choirs at First Congregational Church of Huntley. She also was a major donor to the church music program.

She is survived by her four children, Elizabeth Buchal, Lyle Marlowe, Dean Marlowe and Faye Marlowe; sister, Carol Donahue; 12 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.

“Helen was a dedicated and loving wife, mother and grandmother to her ever-increasing family,” her obituary reads.

The visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday at the First Congregational Church, 11628 E. Main St., Huntley. Private interment will be in Carr-Harrison Cemetery in Ringwood.

Memorials in Helen’s name can be given to the First Congregational Church Hand Bell Choir or to the Marlowe Middle School Music Department c/o James A. O’Connor Funeral Home, P.O. Box 74, Huntley, IL 60142-0074.

A second Burger King in Algonquin is planned for 600 E. Algonquin Road.

Trustees to consider proposal for village’s 2nd Burger King

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A new Burger King restaurant is being proposed in Algonquin at 600 E. Algonquin Road, just east of McDonald’s.

This would be the second Burger King in the village, Algonquin senior planner Katie Parkhurst said, and would include a drive-thru and small dining room with about 30 seats.

The building would be about 2,000 square feet and sit on what is now a vacant 2.2-acre site. The site is wooded, and about two-thirds of it would be cleared for the development, while the rest would be left in its existing state, according to village documents.

An American elm tree on the site also will likely be taken down, documents show. The perimeter of the site has trees evenly spaced in the parkways, landscaping beds in the lawn area and shrubs screening the parking lot from the road, documents show.

Main access to the site would be on Longwood Drive, Parkhurst said.

“A condition of the approval is to do a

cross access with McDonald’s,” Parkhurst said. “And Burger King and McDonald’s are talking, and they have agreed to the idea of doing the cross access.”

Although Burger King has not yet provided a timeline for construction, Parkhurst said that if the final plans are approved, she would expect construction to start in early summer. The restaurant would be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.

Development plans from petitioner N3 Real Estate were presented at the Feb. 28 Committee of the Whole meeting.

The Algonquin Village Board is expected to vote on an ordinance approving final planned unit development and a special-use permit for the property at its next meeting, which is set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

City Council to vote on cable park restaurant, street signs

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A well-known downtown bar and restaurant likely will be taking the reins of the restaurant at the new cable park at Three Oaks Recreation Area.

The City Council will vote Tuesday evening on an agreement to allow Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen, 110 N. Main St., to operate the restaurant at The Quarry Cable Park & Grille, which first opened last year.

The privately owned cable park, named in honor of the former quarry that the city repurposed, is located in and around Three Oaks’ smaller, 32acre North Lake.

It contains two basic courses and one advanced one in which wakeboarders move along a cable system

The building’s lower level includes a restaurant with outdoor seating that serves burgers, wraps and similar fare.

Under the agreement, Duke’s will pay the cable park a monthly rent of $3,500 during the operating months of May through October, 5 percent of which will go to the city.

The city also will get 5 percent of all gross revenues generated by Duke’s food and beverage sales.

Council members on Tuesday also are expected to approve two bids for street sign lighting and video cameras at municipal buildings.

The council will vote on a $89,233 bid for the fourth and final part of the city’s program to install illuminated street name signs at key city intersections.

This last bid will install said signs at five intersections: along Route 14 at McHenry, Dole and Keith avenues, and Route 176 at Walkup and Terra Cotta avenues.

Another vote will be taken as to whether to spend $384,365 to replace its video surveillance systems that cover City Hall, the downtown Metra station, Three Oaks and the Prairie Trail underpass at Route 14 and Main Street.

The current systems are at the end of their operational lives.

Home-rule sales tax increase could affect city’s ‘nonessential goods’

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock shoppers might see an increase in sales tax next year.

Woodstock City Council members are considering a proposed 1 percent home-rule sales tax increase.

The increase could affect “nonessential goods,” which would not include things such as food from grocery stores or prescription and nonprescription drugs.

Titled vehicles also would be excluded, according to a memo from Woodstock Finance Director Paul Christensen.

The city formalized its home-rule status last year after it conducted a special census that tallied the community at more than 25,000 residents. Homerule status gives municipalities more local control. Some residents opposed the push to home rule because they said it would lead to higher taxes.

The proposed sales tax wouldn’t be effective until Jan. 1, 2018. Money earned from the account likely would

“If I’m going to consider it, it must have a sunset provision, and I believe that the money should only be used for two things – to reduce property taxes and for the roads,” he said.

The sales tax would be sustainable, which is important because street maintenance and police pension needs aren’t going anywhere, Mayor Brian Sager said.

He said it is his priority to make Woodstock the city of choice for businesses and residents.

“We also want it to be the city which Mike Turner one can maintain a strong, fiscally City Council member sound and stable environment on behalf of residents and businesses, and go to street maintenance and police make sure it is affordable for residents pensions, according to the memo. and businesses to invest in,” Sager “No decisions have been made, and said. they won’t be made until we have gone The Woodstock City Council will through the process of public hearing meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

8 LAKE IN THE HILLS

Man gets 2 years for possessing weapon

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Lake in the Hills man convicted on a 2013 domestic battery charge after a jury trial last year was sentenced to two years in prison after he admitted to possessing a weapon at that time.

James E. Price, 58, pleaded guilty Monday before McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather to unlawful possession of a weapon as a felony, a Class 4 felony. The charge stemmed from a 2013 incident where Price was charged with physically and sexually assaulting his roommate in the 200 block of Hawthorne Road.

Price went before a jury in October on charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated domestic battery and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He was found guilty of a lesser charge of domestic battery, but was acquitted on all other charges.

Prather sentenced Price to two

years in prison on the felony charge and 180 days in McHenry County Jail on the misdemeanor domestic battery charge. He will serve both sentences at the same time. He also is required to serve one year of mandatory supervised release as part of his sentence.

At trial, prosecutors alleged that Price became angry one day at his female roommate, who was then 61 years James E. old, because she had not Price cleaned the home as well as he would have liked. Price then beat the woman and sexually assaulted her, prosecutors alleged.

Price’s attorney, Mark Facchini, contested the woman’s statements. He said there were at least 17 “glaring” material inconsistencies between what she said to police or medical staff and what she testified to at trial.

Price was convicted of aggravated DUI in 2007 and was sentenced to prison.

Park district sets date for Indian Oaks playground

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo kids should have a new place to play by the middle of May. The Marengo Park District has announced a build date for the Indian Oaks playground and seeks volunteers to help make the plan a reality. The district took down the former playground after it was deemed unsafe last summer, and the park district launched a fundraising campaign to raise the $35,000 needed to rebuild.

The district has raised about $30,000 and will order the equipment in preparation for the May 6 build date, Superintendent Joe Vallez said.

“We are in need of probably 150 volunteers minimally,” he said. “We need people to put up the playground and to support the people doing it. …

There are a whole bunch of support mechanisms that go around it. It’s not just the building.”

The district is seeking people who

can provide and serve food, as well as tend to first aid needs that day, Vallez said.

Marengo Park District operates one other playground in the city at Route 176 and Prospect Street, which was built more recently than the former Indian Oaks playground, which was more than 20 years old, park district board President Terri Paulauski said.

The importance of a new playground is to draw in families, she said.

“We just think that both visually and physically having playground equipment is something that will bring in family members of all ages,” Paulauski said. “It’s a natural draw, and it’s something that can be used almost year-round. It’s a very desired and needed component of any park district facility, and the community has missed it.”

Construction at the park will be either May 6 or May 13, depending on weather. Interested volunteers can call the park district at 815-568-5126.

A Little Piece of Plastic Could Make your Headaches Disappear SPONSORED BY

New technology now allows Dr. Dano to objectively evaluate the state of your jaw and facial muscles and various other factors that may be affecting your bite and causing you headaches.

Based on this evaluation Dr. Dano can rule in or rule out your bite as possible cause of headache pain with a high degree of confidence. The muscles of the temple area of the forehead are muscles that play an important part in the posturing and closing of the jaw. If your occlusion (bite) is not right, it can lead to abnormal tension in these muscles and this could be one of several possible causes of severe headaches If the bite is not corrected, the muscles may remain tense for long periods of time. The result can be a very painful headache. While headaches are typically treated by a physician or neurologist, improper occlusion (your bite) may

play a significant role in severe headaches as well as other head and neck pain.

Headaches are generally classified into several basic types: Sinus, Cluster, Tension and Migraine.

If the indications are that your bite is a major factor, Dr. Dano may recommend a fabrication of a custom made orthotic—“A LITTLE PIECE OF PLASTIC, WHICH MIGHT MAKE YOUR HEADACHESDISAPPEAR”.Atthispoint,nothing permanent is done to alter your teeth or your bite.

You would wear this orthotic for a period of time to make sure the new bite position is correct before any consideration would be given to permanently altering your bite. After wearing this for a while, you and Dr. Dano will know for sure if the new bite position has resolved the headache problem. IF you are having headaches and suspicion that your bite might be the concern please call Dr. Dano to help you at 1-815-344-2264.

BELVIDERE – There’s no sibling rivalry between twin sisters Jenna and Jordyn Lutzow. But before Belvidere North’s coed cheerleading team captured the IHSA state championship last month, only one could call herself a state champion.

“It was such an emotional experience for me,” said Jenna, who won the individual state title and team title with North in cross country last fall.

“Right after they performed – we didn’t even know if they won yet – I was already bawling, and it was mainly just wanting her to excel at her own thing.

It’s finally her time, and my time to step down and be a true supporter for her. It’s a wonderful experience.”

Jordyn is one of 13 seniors on the Blue Thunder cheerleading squad, which took first place by a margin of 3.66 points after scoring 93.29 with their final routine.

And not only did she help bring home North’s fifth state championship trophy in school history, but she

Jenna still has a chance to garner some more accolades in the spring with Belvidere North’s girls track team. She finished second in the state in the 800-meter run as a junior. But together, the Lutzows already have made school history.

LEONARD W. BIEDERMANN Born: March 24, 1925 Died: March 3, 2017

Leonard W. Biedermann, 91, of Woodstock, passed away peacefully at dawn on March 3rd, 2017.

Born on March 24, 1925, to Walter and Louise (Schmitt) Biedermann, Leonard grew up in the family business, Biedermann Brothers Coffee in Chicago. He attended Tilden High School before joining the U.S. Coast Guard, where he proudly served as a signalman on Landing Craft Infantry 322 in the South Pacific during World War II. After returning from the war, he met his wife of 69 years, Helen Bigelow. They married in 1948 in Lombard, where they lived until moving to Woodstock in 1961. Leonard earned his degree in English and journalism from Northwestern University. He spent most of his career in publishing, and was a creative director at the educational publishing company Science Research and Associates (SRA).

Leonard was an avid fisherman and cherished his time on the water. He was a 4-H leader and loved the county fair. He and Helen were wonderful dancers and took art classes together. At the age of 89, he published a biography of Helen’s brother, which he counted among his greatest accomplishments.

Leonard was an author, artist, sailor, fisherman and farmer, but above all, a devoted husband and father. Along with Helen, he instilled by example a strong faith in God and love of country in each of his children. A true patriot, Len flew the flag every day and attended countless ceremonies for Veterans Day and Memorial Day. In 2011, he flew on the Tulsa Honor Flight with other WWII veterans to visit the Washington military monuments.

Leonard was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Richard Biedermann.

He is survived by his wife, Helen; daughters, Christine (Bill) Walker, of Farmington Hills, MI, Amy Halm of Phoenix, Janet (Edward) Hall of Lake Geneva; and sons, Bill (Penny) Biedermann of Spring City, TN, and Geoffrey

STATE

Rapper gives $1M to Chicago schools

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chance the Rapper’s unusual intervention into Chicago Public Schools’ funding crisis took an even more curious turn Monday when the Grammy winner presented a $1 million check to city schools and urged Gov. Bruce Rauner to use his executive powers to help the nation’s third-largest district.

The Republican governor, a former venture capitalist, responded by noting his own philanthropy and floating Chicago school funding ideas that would face tough odds in the Democratic-controlled Legislature. Illinois has gone two years without a budget, the longest such stalemate of any state in nearly a century.

The back-and-forth came after a meeting Friday between Rauner and the artist – whose real name is Chancelor Bennett – that left the rapper visibly agitated. Chance asked for the meeting after he won three Grammys last month, including best new artist, and Rauner tweeted congratulations.

The Chicago native stopped at an elementary school near where he grew up to announce the donation to a schools’ foundation, calling himself a “public school kid.” He also accused Rauner of failing to present solutions without “caveats or ultimatums.”

News from across the state GOP congressman takes heat for town hall stance

CHICAGO – A Republican congressman criticized for not holding in-person town halls said he remains opposed to them partly because of what fellow legislators have faced.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam said at a City Club of Chicago luncheon Monday that he’s held just one large town hall since entering Congress in 2007. He added: “It was miserable. People came in angry and ... left angrier.” He cited a town hall U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy held in Louisiana last month during which the Republican was jeered.

Roskam said he still engages with con-

Chance the Rapper announces a gift of $1 million to the Chicago Public School Foundation during a news conference Monday at the Westcott Elementary School in Chicago.

The Grammy-winning artist is calling on Gov. Bruce Rauner to use executive powers to better fund Chicago Public Schools.

“This isn’t about politics. This isn’t about posturing. This is about taking care of the kids,” he said. “Everybody and their mama knows what’s going on in Chicago. We’re about to enhance the conversation on supporting and funding

the education of the kids in Chicago.”

At the heart of rapper’s beef with Rauner is $215 million in teacher pension relief for Chicago schools that he vetoed last year. Rauner said a broader pension overhaul was needed, part

stituents, including holding 11 telephone town halls over the past year.

But some luncheon attendees clapped when Roskam was pressed about avoiding town halls.

Several dozen protesters outside were more explicit. One walked up to Roskam’s car as he left, yelling: “You’re a spineless coward.”

Senators call Trump’s travel ban unconstitutional

City almost goes full week without fatal shooting

CHICAGO – Chicago nearly went a full week without a fatal shooting.

The Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune reported the city had passed such a milestone on Sunday morning for the first time in more than five years.

However, that was before the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office on Sunday afternoon reported the homicide of 22-year-old Antoine D. Watkins from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say they found him lying face down Saturday in a vacant lot about a block from where he lived in the Austin neighborhood on the city’s West Side.

of his push for pro-business and longterm reforms. However, the school district of roughly 400,000 students had factored the money into its roughly $5.4 billion budget and had to make mid-year cuts. The district has also proposed ending the school year early to save money.

Rauner, who called the meeting a “good exchange of views,” circulated plans before Chance’s public appearance for ways to recover the $215 million; both require state legislation.

One option calls for using up most of Chicago’s special taxing district funds, set aside for capital projects, for a onetime infusion. The other would attach the funding to broader pension reform.

Chicago officials rejected both, saying Illinois’ school funding formula is fundamentally unfair to the largely minority and poor school district. CPS has sued the state over the calculation and argues the district is further penalized since it’s the only one in Illinois where local taxpayers, not the state, help pay teacher pension costs.

Chance also dismissed the plans, saying he wasn’t a politician.

“It’s not my job to propose any policy or be behind anything but the kids,” he said.

Rauner’s office issued a statement detailing his history of giving: roughly $7 million over 20 years to organizations benefiting Chicago students.

Before that fatal shooting, the last one had occurred Feb. 26.

Missing fisherman’s body found in Mississippi River

MONTROSE, Iowa – The body of one of two Iowa fishermen missing since their boat capsized Jan. 3 on the Mississippi River has been recovered by officials downstream.

Authorities said the body of 68-yearold Bill White Sr. of Argyle was spotted and pulled from the water Saturday just off a boat launch site in Hamilton, which is across the river from Keokuk.

The Hancock County, coroner said White drowned. The boat carrying White and his fellow commercial fisherman, 48-year-old Ron Wagner, of Montrose, was seen capsizing in the freezing cold water after they launched more than 10 miles upstream, near Montrose. Wagner’s body is still missing.

Trump signs revised anti-terror travel ban The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Without fanfare, President Donald Trump signed a scaled-back version of his controversial ban on many foreign travelers Monday, hoping to avoid a new round of lawsuits and outrage while fulfilling a central campaign promise. His order still bars new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries and temporarily shuts down America’s refugee program.

The revised order, signed with none of the flourish of his first version, eliminates some of the most contentious aspects in an effort to surmount the court challenges that are sure to come. Trump’s first order, issued just a week after his inauguration, was halted by federal courts.

The new one leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries – at the urging of U.S. military and diplomatic leaders – but still affects would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. It also makes clear that current visa holders will not be impacted, and it removes language that would give priority to religious minorities – a provision some interpreted as a way to help Christians get into the U.S. while excluding Muslims.

The order won’t take effect until March 16 despite earlier warnings from Trump and his aides that any delay would put national security at risk by allowing the entry of “bad ‘dudes’” who want to harm the country.

The changes underscore the very different position the president finds himself in.

Five weeks ago, Trump dropped the first order with a bang, catching lawmakers and members of his administration by surprise. He signed the order in a high-profile ceremony at the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes as Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis stood by.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions (left) and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly wait to make a statements on issues related to visas and travel Monday at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office in Washington.

This time around, the president skipped the usual public ceremony altogether. Instead, the administration chose to have Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions serve as the public faces of the rollout at a brief press announcement.

“I think today was about the implementation of it,” said Press Secretary Sean Spicer – at a briefing off camera.

Legal experts say the new order addresses some of the constitutional concerns raised by a federal appeals court about the initial ban but leaves room for more legal challenges.

“It’s much clearer about how it doesn’t apply to groups of immigrants with more clearly established constitutional rights,” University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck said. “That’s a really important step.”

Trump officials say the goal hasn’t changed: keeping wouldbe terrorists out of the United States while the government reviews vetting systems for refugees and visa applicants from certain parts of the world.

Tillerson said, “It is the president’s solemn duty to protect the American people, and with

this order President Trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe.”

The original travel ban led to instant chaos at airports as Homeland Security officials scrambled to interpret how it was to be implemented and some travelers were detained before being sent back overseas or blocked from getting on airplanes abroad. The order quickly became the subject of several legal challenges and was put on hold last month by a federal judge in Washington state.

The president repeatedly insisted he would continue to fight for the original order in court, even as aides worked to craft a new one. In the end, they chose to rescind the old order – though Spicer maintained the first was “100 percent legal and constitutional.”

Notably absent from Trump’s revised ban are repeated references to the death toll from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Critics of the original had noted the president appeared to use those attacks as evidence of danger from certain foreigners despite the fact that none of the men who hijacked jetliners that day were from any of the seven banned countries.

GOP struggles with shift from opposition party to governing

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Republican ranks in Congress are thick with hard-right lawmakers elected to thwart former President Barack Obama and light on nuts-and-bolts legislators, especially those experienced in working with a GOP president.

That could prove to be a formidable challenge as Republicans make the transition from an opposition party to a governing one.

Tea party lawmakers who are used to fighting Obama – and sometimes their own leaders – now have to pull together as a team to try to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda into law, starting this week with repeal of the 2010 health care law and offering a possible replacement.

Conservative purity tests must get tossed out the window; instead the mandate is to figure out what can actually get enacted into law. That requires forging toward consensus – and willingly accepting lumps and losses in intra-GOP debates and voting for what compromise eventually emerges.

These are realities that some Republicans are learning more quickly than others.

“When you’re in the opposition, you get to judge every proposal against the ideal .... When you’re governing, you first have to ask, ‘Can it pass?’ And then you’ve got to ask, ‘Well, how does it compare to doing nothing?’” said Neil Bradley, a former House GOP aide who’s now a top policy expert at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “They haven’t quite made the adjustment from judging things against the ideal to judging proposals against doing nothing.”

Few congressional Republicans have experience serving under a Republican president – just 59 of 237 House Republicans served in the majority under former President George W. Bush in the early-to-mid-2000s.

Because they are unfamiliar with their new set of circumstances, some tea party purists – used to having their way or picking up their marbles and quitting the game – are now struggling with demands that they compromise.

Strains are already showing, as Republicans promising to repeal and replace Obama’s health care law simultaneously – backed by President Donald Trump – are at odds with conserva-

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., listens Jan. 7, 2015, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. tive purists such as Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who are sticking to last year’s script of killing Obamacare outright without a GOP substitute at hand. Paul calls an emerging House bill “Obamacare Lite.”

In a made-for-the-media move last week, Paul took reporters door to door in the Capitol looking for the House GOP’s health care bill and openly warned that he had the votes to kill it in the Senate.

In the House, hard-right Freedom Caucus members – that’s the group that marched former Speaker John Boehner into a 2013 government shutdown and later toppled him – are battling against elements of the GOP leadership’s emerging health care draft such as refundable tax credits to buy insurance. If they’re unbending, it could be the death knell for the GOP’s health care efforts.

“Statements by small groups of Republicans saying, ‘Well, this is not acceptable to me’ – and that becomes how you negotiate – that’s just not a way to get to 218,” said GOP loyalist Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, referring to the magic number to pass legislation in the 435-seat House. “You can argue with the quarterback in the huddle, but once you go to the line, you really need to execute the play.”

What is more, circumstances are more difficult now than they were during the most recent successful burst of Republican-sponsored domestic legislation, when a unified Republican government in the early 2000s produced tax cuts, a major education bill, and the Medicare prescription drug benefit.

REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION

By LAURIE KELLMAN and EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press

James Wright

26-year-old independent enough risk to further limit their entry into the United States.

Interviews with some of the poll’s participants suggest the distinction may be one of perception in an age of religious and politically inspired violence and 4.8 million refugees fleeing war-scarred Syria.

“Sometimes the vetting might not be quality,” said Randall Bagwell, 33, a Republican from of San Antonio, Texas, the state second to California in settling refugees between Oct. 1 and Jan. 31, according to the State Department.

“Nobody can do quality control when they’re just reacting immediately.”

President Donald Trump has long

linked tougher immigration limits to a safer country, and on Monday signed a new travel ban that, in part, will suspend refugee travel to the U.S. for four months except for those already on their way to the U.S. The new order, which takes effect on March 16, will impose a 90-day ban on entry to the U.S. for people from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen – all Muslim-majority nations – who are seeking new visas. It was Trump’s second effort at a travel ban. The first was blocked by the courts.

Also reflecting his hard line, Trump last week announced to Congress a new office to aid Americans and their families who are victims of immigrant violence. That’s despite years of studies that have shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.born people.

Much of Trump’s candidacy and young presidency has been powered by the idea that he will protect Americans from “bad dudes” who want to come here, issuing a mix of tough, if vague, policy – from “extreme vetting” to the travel ban, a border wall with Mexico and more.

Americans report conflicting feelings about immigrants just over six weeks into his presidency, the poll sug-

gests. On the one hand, Americans see refugees as a risk apart from other legal immigrants, with a third of Democrats, and 8 in 10 Republicans, say the risks are great enough to place more limits on refugees admitted to the U.S. Despite those fears, Americans still see legal immigration generally as a boon, the poll shows.

More than 6 in 10 say a major benefit of legal immigration is that it enhances the reputation of the U.S. as a land of opportunity.

The good and bad of immigration has long been a painful and intensifying national debate. Trump has shown some flexibility – or inconsistency, depending on one’s viewpoint – on his approach. For example, Iraq is no longer on the list of countries whose people are banned.

Officials from the Pentagon and State Department had urged the White House to reconsider given Iraq’s key role in fighting the Islamic State group.

Also, the new order does not subject Syrians to an indefinite travel ban, as did the original.

Trump also has minimized talk of deporting all of the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally and suggested that he could be open to comprehensive immigration reform.

WASHINGTON – Where immigrants are concerned, James Wright is OK with people who are here legally, as well as illegally – if they haven’t committed crimes. But turn the talk specifically to the risks and benefits of admitting refugees to the U.S., and the New Jersey resident gives a fraught sigh.

“It’s hard not to be conflicted,” said Wright, 26, an independent who supports President Donald Trump’s proposed travel ban on certain foreigners.

“By no means do I want to be cruel and keep people out who need a safe place.

But we have to have a better system of thoroughly finding out who they are.”

Wright is part of a group of Americans a new survey suggests are making distinctions between legal immigrants who choose to be here and refugees – who are legal immigrants, too – fleeing persecution in their home countries.

A new poll by The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research reflects that divide, with twothirds of the respondents saying the benefits of legal immigration generally outweigh the risks. But just over half – 52 percent – say refugees pose a great

ANOTHER VIEW

Dems heading left and left

A liberal Democrat defeated another liberal Democrat in the race to head the Democratic National Committee.

And a large number of liberal Democrats were plenty unhappy.

How does that make sense?

It goes like this: The guy who came in second, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, was seen as more purely progressive. And in today’s Democratic Party, being able to tout one’s progressive bona fides – whether real or imagined – and having others who are seen as righteously progressive backing one’s candidacy – especially Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders – is a seal of approval for the lefty activist set.

It made no difference that there was barely a scintilla of policy difference between Ellison and the eventual winner, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez. Both check all the same boxes, stand for all the same things.

On wages and gender issues and war and on being opposed to anything and everything that President Donald Trump stands for– both are pure. But Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress, was seen as Bernie’s guy. Perez, who entered the race much later than did Ellison, came quickly to be portrayed as the establishment choice. And that was enough for so many Democrats. But not for the ones who mattered: those who are actually voting members of the national committee.

Perez came one vote short on the first ballot, but managed to do what he had to do on the second go-round, besting Ellison, 235-200.

Why should any of this matter to your average Democrat, or Democratic-leaning independent, in Anytown, USA? Because unity, not infighting, is best for the party out of power. And with a nominal Republican in the White House and Republicans holding majorities in both houses of Congress, Democrats would do well to be unified.

After the vote, many made noise about working for unity. Perez even named Ellison his deputy, a largely ceremonial post. And many spoke about the unified front the party would present going forward. But not before a handful of Ellison backers stormed out in a huff.

There’ll be a battle over the direction of the party going forward. Some want to pull it as far leftward as possible. Others hope to allow those whose leanings are more centrist to feel at home in the party.

The battle, pitting a lefty against another lefty, gave a pretty clear indication of where the party is headed, at least over the near term.

Will Perez find a way to make room for centrists? Here’s hoping he at least tries.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s blindness on trade too easy to see President Donald Trump’s international economic team is still a work in progress, although based on two early top nominations – Robert Lighthizer as U.S. trade representative and Peter Navarro to head a new National Trade Council – he fully intends to keep the protectionist promises of the campaign trail.

Certainly, a newly released administration document, “The President’s 2017 Trade Policy Agenda,” reflects the influence of Lighthizer and Navarro. The six-page statement rehashes once again their critique of U.S. trade policy since the Cold War’s end: Multilateral trade agreements and institutions such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and World Trade Organization have sacrificed American sovereignty, to the ultimate cost of U.S. jobs, especially manufacturing jobs.

Familiar and, indeed, shared by many of Trump’s Democratic opponents it may be, this narrative is far from an accurate diagnosis. It is true, as the new Trump agenda notes, that manufacturing employment declined, in absolute numbers, between 2000 (the last year before the United States approved China’s entry to the WTO)

and 2016, from 17.2 million to 12.3 million. Whether this decline is 100 percent the fault of the WTO, NAFTA or any other multilateral trade deal, as opposed to automation and other long-term factors not unique to the United States, is another question.

As a new analysis by economic historian Bradford DeLong of the University of California at Berkeley shows, the past two decades of job losses in manufacturing are part of a trend that began after the Korean War. Factory work went from 32 percent of nonfarm employment in 1953 to 16 percent in 1990: long before NAFTA or China.

For comparison’s sake, DeLong notes that Germany – held out by many U.S. trade critics as a paragon of manufacturing employment preservation – shed half of its factory jobs between 1970 and 2015.

Obviously, these numbers don’t salve the pain, material and psychic, of those who lost out from these sweeping historical processes. They do, however, suggest there’s little to be gained by trying to renegotiate existing trade institutions, or to opt out of them selectively, when, say, a WTO ruling does not comport with U.S. interests – as the new Trump agenda suggests. To the contrary, DeLong

calculates that China’s accession to the WTO and NAFTA combined cost the U.S. 500,000 net manufacturing jobs, in a workforce of more than 150 million people.

Again, we don’t dispute the impact – especially on the light industries such as shoes or furniture hardest hit by imports. Nor do we quarrel with the Trump agenda’s assertion that trade with China has largely failed to induce greater abiding of the law and transparency by that one-party state.

Yet the best way to counteract China’s mercantilism would seem to be by precisely the sort of U.S.-led multilateral cooperation that the Trump administration has rejected, in the form of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The Trump agenda blames past policymakers for “turn[ing] a blind eye to unfair trade practices” in the pursuit of “putative geopolitical advantage.”

Geopolitics, however, is just another word for shaping the world to serve all U.S. interests, with a minimum of conflict. And the real blindness consists in unilaterally asserting “sovereignty” and “protection” without regard to the legitimate interests of other nations, or their capacity for retaliation.

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

Where is Roskam?

To the Editor: Why is Peter Roskam hiding? He works for us. His job, his only job, is to represent us.

At his last public event, he ran away early. He refuses to engage and hold any public events during his time in district.

He does not respond to calls, tweets, Facebook posts or to shouts from the rooftop. He is a craven tool of the GOP, a simple “yes” vote to anything put forth along party lines.

This is unacceptable. He obviously is Trump’s sycophant and he clearly puts party above country and we, the people, will not stand for it.

He has two choices, engage with his constituents or we will find someone who will.

Andrew Downie St. Charles

Roskam is part of the problem

To the Editor: The Illinois Better Government Associ-

ation recently reported that Congressman Peter Roskam – who has criticized Illinois as a “fiscal basket case” and has marshaled opposition to a federal rescue for Illinois’s troubled pension fund – began collecting his $37,452 annual pension from the state for his years as an Illinois lawmaker at the first legal opportunity last year when he turned 55.

Additionally, Roskam backs Republican congressional proposals to raise the age of eligibility for drawing Social Security benefits as well as qualifying for Medicare. This is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Either you’re part of the problem or part of the solution. Clearly, Congressman Roskam is part of the problem.

Pence’s support, that it was important and necessary, officials said.

Pence’s national security team also is in place and humming. Just days after the inauguration, Pence announced that he had brought on Andrea Thompson as his national security adviser.

A former military intelligence officer with extensive combat zone experience, she also worked for the House Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs committees. Most recently, she worked for the firm run by retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

“I wouldn’t say there’s an ideological bent to her, she’s a professional, an excellent briefer with command of the intelligence world,” said McCaul.

Thompson’s deputy is Joan O’Hara, former general counsel for McCaul’s committee. They lead a team of senior advisers who manage issue areas delineated by region or function, similar in organization to the National Security Council staff but on a smaller scale. Pence’s national security team is mostly professionals detailed from other agencies.

Pence is seen by many in Washington as a figure who might stand up for the traditionally hawkish views he espoused while in Congress, a proxy of sorts for the GOP national security establishment. But those close to Pence said his stance is more nuanced. Pence is committed to advocating Trump’s

foreign policy objectives, not his own, and endeavors to stay above the fray of most internal disputes.

“He definitely brings a different perspective, but he’s nuanced and subtle in how he engages,” one White House official said. “He’s adapted somewhat, at least in terms of not putting his views above those of the president.”

Pence preserves his credibility with the president so it can be most effective when deployed. The chief example was when Pence personally spoke to Trump about removing national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had lied to him about conversations with Russian officials during the transition.

“When Flynn was in the NSA role, there was no center of gravity where traditional Republicans could come together on policy,” said Bruce Jones, vice president at the Brookings Institution. “In the days since Flynn exited, Pence has occupied more of that space.”

It’s a tricky balancing act, but if Pence can keep the president’s trust, stay above the internal politics and build out his portfolio, he will be able to continue to increase his influence on foreign policy inside the White House and on the world stage.

The role and influence of the vice president, not enshrined in any law, is determined in any administration by three things: his direct relationship with the president, his building of a personal portfolio of issues, and the effectiveness of his team. When it comes to foreign policy, Vice President Mike Pence is quietly succeeding on all three fronts.

Inside an administration that is characterized by several power centers, Pence must navigate complex internal politics while serving a president who has an unconventional view of foreign policy and the United States’ role in the world. Pence, a traditional hawk influenced heavily by his Christian faith, is carefully and deliberately assuming a stance that fits within the president’s agenda while respecting the prerogatives of other senior White House aides who also want to play large foreign policy roles, according to White House officials, lawmakers and experts.

But Pence’s growing influence on foreign policy is increasingly evident.

The vice president was deployed to Europe last month to reassure allies that the United States will stay committed to alliances such as NATO, despite President Donald Trump’s calls for Europeans to pay more for common de-

fense. During Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s recent visit, Trump announced that Pence and his Japanese counterpart would lead a new dialogue on U.S.-Japan economic cooperation.

“The vice president seems to be building on his foreign affairs experience, finding a niche in that arena,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who served with Pence in Congress. “He brings a level-headed steady hand to the foreign policy of the administration. He’s also building up his own team.”

Inside the White House, Pence is in the room during most of the president’s interactions with world leaders. He receives the presidential daily brief. As head of the transition, he was instrumental in bringing several traditionally hawkish Republicans into the top levels of the administration’s national security team, including Director of National Intelligence-designate Dan Coats, CIA Director Mike Pompeo and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Trump and Pence met with Haley last week just before the United States decided to confront Russia and the Syrian regime at the U.N. Security Council about Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons.

The move seems to run counter to the White House’s drive to warm relations with Moscow, but Trump decided, with

GM sells Opel, Vauxhall brands to French maker

By ANGELA CHARLTON and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

DETROIT – By shedding the bulk of its European operations, General Motors is getting rid of a perennial money drain and gaining essential cash that it can use to reward shareholders and invest in future technology such as electric cars and ride-sharing.

The Detroit automaker also indicated that it might pull out of more unprofitable markets in the future.

GM on Monday sold its European Opel and Vauxhall brands to French carmaker PSA Group for roughly $2.33 billion, retreating from the world’s third-largest auto market after almost two decades of futile efforts to make money. The brands have lost $20 billion in the fiercely competitive region since last making a full-year profit in 1999.

“I think they’re ready to cut their losses and move on,” Morningstar analyst David Whiston said. “They’d rather take their time and money and spend it elsewhere on something that has a better return.”

The sale, expected to close by the end of the year, also includes GM’s European auto financing arm, which goes to a joint venture between PSA and French bank BNP Paribas. GM has to keep $6.5 billion in unfunded pension obligations. But it unloads any future losses and about $1 billion per year in capital expenditures on new products.

Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens told reporters that the sale also means GM only has to keep $18 billion

PSA CEO Carlos Tavares and GM CEO Mary Barra pose for photographers before addressing the media Monday in Paris. General Motors is selling its loss-making European car business, including Germany’s Opel and British brand Vauxhall, to France’s PSA group in a deal that realigns the industry in the region. on hand to weather an economic downturn, rather than $20 billion. That $2 billion will go to speed up a company commitment to buy back $8 billion worth of stock. GM could repurchase as much as $5 billion this year.

The sale also was influenced by stronger European clean-air regulations that will require significant spending on electric-car development, as well as currency issues caused

by Britain’s exit from the European Union, GM said.

“Increasing regulatory and compli-

ance costs will continue to be a burden for the foreseeable future,” President Dan Ammann said. After the sale, PSA, with a larger scale in Europe, can spread those costs over more vehicles, he said.

GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra told analysts that the sale may not be GM’s last. She said the company has work to do on some international businesses and could make a similar deal for them if they don’t make enough money. GM has operations in Asia, South America, the Middle East, North

America and elsewhere.

GM still will sell small numbers of high-performance Chevrolets and some Cadillacs in Europe. The deal doesn’t include ride-sharing or other mobility ventures in Europe.

For PSA, which makes Peugeot and Citroen cars, the acquisition will turn it into Europe’s No. 2 automaker after Volkswagen, capping a remarkable turnaround after it was bailed out just three years ago.

PSA will take over 12 Opel and Vauxhall manufacturing facilities that employ about 40,000 people, the companies said, fueling worries that jobs eventually will be cut.

Executives insisted that no layoffs are foreseen, while analysts say they’re inevitable over the long term.

CEO Carlos Tavares said there are ways to contain factory costs other than cutting workers. He said the company would focus on logistics, quality, energy, maintenance and security.

Opel and Vauxhall last year sold just under 1.2 million vehicles, amounting to only 5.6 percent of the European market, according to GM. “Unloading Opel-Vauxhall and the European part of the financing greatly improves GM’s balance sheet, allowing investments in growing markets such as China and India,” said Rebecca Lindland of Kelley Blue Book.

Christian Stadler of Warwick Business School warned that job cuts likely will be coming: “PSA has done it before, and there is no other way to realistically achieve the cost savings they have in mind.”

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 2017

Adele has officially announced she and longtime partner Simon Konecki are married, weeks after hinting at a wedding.

Adele casually dropped the news while chatting with the audience at her show in Brisbane, Australia, on Saturday.

She was discussing her song, “Someone Like You,” which describes her feelings following a breakup. She told the crowd that she’s “addicted” to the “feeling when you first fall for someone.” She said she can’t have that feeling because she’s “married now.”

The announcement follows Adele’s thanking of her “husband” after her big win at last month’s Grammy awards.

This image released by Lionsgate shows Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in a scene from “La La Land.” Lionsgate announced Monday that “La La Land In Concert: A Live-to-Film Celebration‚“ will come to the Hollywood Bowl from May 26 to 27.

‘La La Land,’ in live concert form, coming to Hollywood Bowl NEW YORK – Live from Los Angeles, it’s “La La Land” live!

Lionsgate announced Monday that “La La Land In Concert: A Live-to-Film Celebration” will come to the Hollywood Bowl on May 26 to 27. The live shows will be conducted by composer Justin Hurwitz, who won two Academy Awards last month for his work on the movie’s music.

The show will include a 100-piece symphony orchestra, choir and jazz ensemble, along with the film’s original vocal recordings from Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and John Legend. The movie will play along while the musicians perform.

Hurwitz said in an interview with The Associated Press that before working on “La La Land” with director and writer Damien Chazelle, he told his longtime friend that the film would be perfect for the live stage.

“The process is just beginning,” Hurwitz said of prepping for the live dates.

“We’re figuring out how to handle visually and musically the various music elements in the movie, and it’s a lot of fun brainstorming ideas and solutions. What is exciting is ... to be able to really feature the musicians and show exactly what they’re doing.”

Tickets go on sale Friday. For the live shows, Hurwitz said they are using the same orchestra contractor from the movie.

Following the Memorial Day dates in Los Angeles, the live production will visit Atlanta; San Diego; San Antonio; Nashville, Tennessee; Washington, D.C.; and other U.S. cities. It also will travel internationally to the United Kingdom, Mexico, Italy, Turkey, Switzerland and Canada. Those dates, along with more cities, will be announced later.

Beyonce has shown off more of her growing baby bump.

The singer, who is expecting twins with husband Jay Z, shared photos on her website Monday of the couple heading out to the premiere of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” with their 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. Beyonce is wearing a flowing green dress in the photos and in some shots pulls it tightly around her stomach to show off the progress of her pregnancy.

She and Blue Ivy also had some fun making silly faces for the camera.

Beyonce announced her pregnancy last month with the help of an elaborate photo shoot. She hasn’t said when the babies are due.

Joe Biden to discuss fight to end cancer at SXSW

AUSTIN, Texas – South By Southwest said former Vice President Joe Biden will give a speech at the festival about efforts to end cancer. Organizers announced Monday that Biden will be a featured speaker in Austin on Sunday, during the portion of the festival focusing on interactive technology. Biden will discuss plans for his new cancer-fighting initiative.

Biden has said recently that the initiative will focus on improving data standards to

help researchers, work with community care organizations to improve access to care and push to ensure patients can afford treatments.

Biden previously led a White House “cancer moonshot” effort to accelerate developments toward a cure.

The former vice president has focused on improving cancer research efforts since his son, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, died of brain cancer in 2015.

Chrissy Teigen reveals battle with postpartum depression

Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she has battled postpartum depression since the birth of her daughter last year.

The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model and singer John Legend welcomed a baby girl, Luna, in April. She wrote in an essay for Glamour magazine that she has been “unhappy” for much of the last year and discovered she was suffering from postpartum depression in December.

Teigen wrote that she had difficulty after returning to work as a co-host of the syndicated “Lip Sync Battle.”

She said she now is taking an antidepressant for the depression and anxiety, and also is in therapy. Teigen said she’s opening up now because she wants people to know postpartum depression “can happen to anybody.”

Know-it-all voice assistants shaping kids

By MICHAEL S. ROSENWALD

K

The Washington Post

ids adore their new robot siblings.

As millions of American families buy robotic voice assistants to turn off lights, order pizzas and fetch movie times, children are eagerly co-opting the gadgets to settle dinner table disputes, answer homework questions and entertain friends at sleepover parties.

Many parents have been startled and intrigued by the way these disembodied, know-it-all voices – Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, Microsoft’s Cortana – are impacting their kids’ behavior, making them more curious but also, at times, far less polite.

In just two years, the promise of the technology already has exceeded the marketing come-ons. The disabled are using voice assistants to control their homes, order groceries and listen to books. Caregivers to the elderly say the devices help with dementia, reminding users what day it is or when to take medicine.

For children, the potential for transformative interactions are just as dramatic – at home and in classrooms. But psychologists, technologists and linguists are only beginning to ponder the possible perils of surrounding kids with artificial intelligence, particularly as they traverse important stages of social and language development.

“How they react and treat this nonhuman entity is, to me, the biggest question,” said Sandra Calvert, a Georgetown University psychologist Photo by Bill O’Leary via The Washington Post and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center. “And how does that Asher Labovich, 13, and his 10-year-old brother, Emerson, (left) mess around with the family’s Alsubsequently affect family dynamics and social interactions with other exa, an Amazon Echo voice assistant, while their mom, Laura Labovich, watches in Bethesda, Md. people?”

With an estimated 25 million voice assistants expected to sell this year at $40 to $180 – up from 1.7 million in 2015 – there even are ramifications for the diaper crowd.

Toy giant Mattel recently announced the birth of Aristotle, a home baby monitor launching this summer that “comforts, teaches and entertains” using AI from Microsoft. As children get older, they can ask or answer questions. The company says, “Aristotle was specifically designed to grow up with a child.”

Boosters of the technology say kids typically learn to acquire information using the prevailing technology of the moment – from the library card catalogue, to Google, to brief conversations with friendly, all-knowing voices. But what if these gadgets lead children, whose faces already are glued to screens, further away from situations where they learn important interpersonal skills?

It’s unclear whether any of the companies involved even are paying attention to this issue.

Amazon did not return a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the Partnership for AI, a new organization that includes Google, Amazon, Microsoft and other companies working on voice assistants, said nobody was available to answer questions.

“These devices don’t have emotional intelligence,” said Allison Druin, a University of Maryland professor who studies how children use technology.

“They have factual intelligence.”

“Cognitively, I’m not sure a kid gets why you can boss Alexa around but not a person. At the very least, it creates patterns and reinforcement that so long as your diction is good, you can get what you want without niceties.”

– Hunter Walker, a California venture capitalist who wrote a blog post about his 4-year-old daughter’s use of Alexa Children certainly enjoy their company, referring to Alexa like just another family member.

“We like to ask her a lot of really random things,” said Emerson Labovich, a fifth-grader in Bethesda, Maryland, who pesters Alexa with her older brother Asher.

This winter, Emerson asked her almost every day to help count down the days until a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida. “She can also rap and rhyme,” Emerson said.

Today’s children will be shaped by AI much like their grandparents were shaped by new devices called television.

But you couldn’t talk with a TV. Ken Yarmosh, a 36-year-old Northern Virginia app developer and founder of Savvy Apps has multiple voice assistants in his family’s home, including those made by Google and Amazon. (The Washington Post is owned by Amazon founder Jeffrey P. Bezos, whose middle name is Preston, according to Alexa.)

Yarmosh’s 2-year-old son has been so enthralled by Alexa he tries to speak with coasters and other cylindrical objects that look like Amazon’s device.

Meanwhile, Yarmosh’s now 5-year-old son, in comparing his two assistants, came to believe Google knew him better.

“Alexa isn’t smart enough for me,” he’d say, asking random questions his parents couldn’t answer, like how many miles it is to China. (“China is 7,248 miles away, “ Google Home says, “as the crow flies.”)

In talking that way about a device plugged into a wall, Yarmosh’s son was anthropomorphizing it – which means to “ascribe human features to something,” Alexa happily explains. Humans do this a lot, Calvert said. We do it with dogs, dressing them in costumes on Halloween. We name boats. And when we encounter robots, we – especially children – treat them as near equals.

In 2012, University of Washington researchers published results of a study

involving 90 children interacting with a life-size robot named Robovie. Most kids thought Robovie had “mental states” and was a “social being.” When Robovie was shoved into a closet, more than half felt it wasn’t fair. A similar emotional connection is taking hold with Alexa and other assistants – even for parents.

“It’s definitely become part of our lives,” said Emerson’s mother, Laura Labovich, who then quickly corrected herself: “She’s definitely part of our lives.”

The problem, Druin said, is this emotional connection sets up expectations for children devices can’t or weren’t designed to meet, causing confusion, frustration and even changes in the way kids talk or interact with adults.

Yarmosh’s son thought Alexa couldn’t understand him, but it was the algorithms that couldn’t grasp the pitch in his voice or the way children formulate questions. Educators introducing these devices into classrooms and school libraries have encountered the same issue.

“If Alexa doesn’t understand the question, is it Alexa’s fault or might it be the question’s fault?” said Gwyneth Jones, a librarian who uses Amazon’s device at Murray Hill Middle School in Laurel, Maryland. “People are not always going to get what they are saying, so it’s important that they learn how to ask good questions.”

The Laboviches, of Bethesda, Md., sit at their kitchen table with Alexa in the foreground.

Jones, the librarian, has witnessed the digital equivalent of everybody asking a question at the same time.

“You all are being really pushy,” she’ll say, as Alexa declares over and over she doesn’t understand. “You’re confusing her. One at a time, just like a person.”

The personal yet transactional nature of the relationship is appealing to children and teenagers.

• Tuesday, March 7, 2017

To ask her a question, all you need to do is say her name, followed by the query. No “please.” And no “thank you” before asking a follow-up.

“Cognitively, I’m not sure a kid gets why you can boss Alexa around but not a person,” Walk wrote. “At the very least, it creates patterns and reinforcement that so long as your diction is good, you can get what you want without niceties.”

TECHNOLOGY | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Naomi S. Baron, an American University linguist who studies digital communication, is among those who wonder whether the devices, even as they get smarter, will push children to value simplistic language – and simplistic inquiries – over nuance and complex questions.

Asking Alexa, “How do you ask a good question?” produces this answer: “I wasn’t able to understand the question I heard.” But she is able to answer a simple derivative: “What is a question?”

“A linguistic expression used to make a request for information,” she says.

And then there is the potential rewiring of adult-child communication.

Although Mattel’s new assistant will have a setting forcing children to say “please” when asking for information, the assistants made by Google, Amazon and others are designed so users can quickly – and bluntly – ask questions.

Parents are noticing some not-so-subtle changes in their children.

In a blog post last year, a California venture capitalist wrote his 4-year-old daughter thought Alexa was the best speller in the house. “But I fear it’s also turning our daughter into a raging a-----,” Hunter Walk wrote. “Because Alexa tolerates poor manners.”

Parents (including this reporter) have noticed queries previously made to adults are shifting to assistants, particularly for homework - spelling words, simple math, historical facts.

Or take the weather, particularly in winter. Instead of asking Mom or Dad the temperature that day, children just go to the device, treating the answer as gospel.

Upside: No more fights over what the temperature really will be and what’s appropriate to wear. Downside: Kids will go to their parents less, with both sides losing out on timeworn interactions. “There can be a lot of unintended consequences to interactions with these devices that mimic conversation,” said Kate Darling, an MIT professor who studies how humans interact with robots.

“We don’t know what all of them are yet.”

But most researchers, educators and parents – even some kids – already agree these devices need to be put in their place, just like a know-it-all sibling.

Jones, the librarian, puts Alexa away for a couple of weeks at a time, so her students don’t rely on her too much.

Yarmosh, who recently launched a project curating online videos for kids, is keeping the assistants out of his children’s rooms. Emerson and her brother take a school playground approach.

“Alexa,” they’ll say, “you’re such a butt.”

Never too late to start exercising Dear Doctor: I’m 63 years old, and even though my kids think I’m too old, I want to start running. Can you help me to prove them wrong?

Dear Reader: At the risk of wading into the middle of a family argument, we believe that it’s never too late to become physically active.

And if you’re careful about how you begin – and maintain – your new exercise regimen, there’s no reason why running can’t be at least one part of the program.

To get your kids on board, let’s start with all the good things that come from regular exercise.

And when we say exercise, we’re referring specifically to activities like walking briskly, jogging, running, swimming laps, dancing, raking leaves (you get the idea) that will increase your heart rate and breathing for an extended period of time.

Regular exercise can help you to control your weight, reduce your risk of serious health problems like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and some cancers, and even improve your sleep and your mood.

It also strengthens muscles and bones, which not only makes it easier to perform everyday tasks and activities, but also can help with balance and thus reduce the chance of a fall. If you’re an older adult, regular exercise increases your chances of living longer.

To succeed at your new running program, you’ll need to be smart about the way you get started. We believe it’s always wise to enlist your primary care physician as your partner when making this kind of lifestyle change. She or he knows your health history and will be able to flag any potential risks or problems.

As for running itself, there are several

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier things you can do – must do, really – to make a go of it. Before you even take your first step, be sure you have the right shoes.

They’ll not only cushion your step, they will also help with alignment and guard against knee, hip and ankle pain.

Good socks and comfortable exercise clothes are also important.

Although your goal is running, you’re best off beginning with a long, brisk walk. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your heart rate goes up. Plan a route – 20 minutes is reasonable to start – and see how it feels.

As the days and weeks go by, you can increase both pace and distance. When you’re ready, start mixing a few minutes of running into your brisk walk.

Easing into a run-walk routine will help you build strength and allow your body to adjust to the physical impact. As with any physical activity, include a slow warm-up and a deliberate cool-down.

Some of our patients find that having a goal to train for, like a 5K charity run, helps them to stick to their routine. Others prefer the camaraderie of exercising with a class or a friend. The main thing is balance.

Don’t try to do too much too quickly.

And whatever you choose, have fun.

course! Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That said, if your weight and dental problems are affecting your self-esteem, perhaps it’s time you dealt with them rather than use them as an excuse to cut and run.

Dear Abby: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful man for the last year and a half. He is good to me and good to my 11-yearold daughter.

Recently, a man I have known for 40 years – but have been in and out of touch with – appeared back in my life. He was my first kiss at 6, and there were many unresolved feelings that I felt needed exploring. My daughter caught on and told me if I gave up my current relationship she would never forgive me, so I ended the relationship with my old friend, which left him with bitter feelings.

Did I do the right thing? – Bitter Feelings Dear Bitter: Because you felt it was appropriate to allow an 11-year-old to dictate your future, then yes, I suppose you did the right thing. In any case, it’s a little late to second guess yourself now.

Dear Abby: This year I have the opportunity to travel to Europe with some friends. One of them, however, has the tendency to burp loudly when we are in public. She often does it at restaurants or other sit-down areas. I have tried telling her it’s rude and disrespectful, but she doesn’t care.

I don’t want to go to Europe and have her burping in front of other people. I don’t want to be labeled as a disrespectful tourist because of her. Is there anything I can say to her?

Or is this a problem that I shouldn’t get involved with? – Embarrassed Friend Dear Friend: Could your friend have a medical problem that causes her to burp?

If so, that may be why it happens and you shouldn’t criticize her for it. However, if that’s not the case, because her behavior causes you embarrassment, either rethink traveling with her or make sure you sit far away from her in public places.

Someday, he may want to meet face-toface, and I am more petrified than 2,000-yearold wood! He sounds and speaks so well – soft and gentle. My heart has butterfly-wing feelings, not the head-over-heels emotions I had when I first met my late husband.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t waste time tackling trivial matters or battling with someone over something that doesn’t really matter. Focus your vision on what’s important and how you can make your life better. What you do to contribute to society and how you participate in life matters. Choose peace over chaos.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Explore your creative dreams and express the way you feel and what you want to pursue. Take control instead of letting someone else rule your world.

Participate and educate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Listen to emotional pleas when dealing with domestic issues. If someone isn’t happy, you need to do your best

to find solutions that suit everyone involved.

Choose intelligence over physical confrontations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Share your concerns as well as your findings and possible solutions with whoever is in charge. Getting along and working in conjunction with others will be more impressive than trying to take charge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – An emotional incident at work or with someone you thought you could rely on will fester. You are best off being frank about the way you feel before it affects your productivity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Aim for advancement when it comes to work and your reputation, and take control of your life. Don’t give in to bullies or people who are bad influences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t divulge secret information about you or anyone else. Your focus should be on self-improvement and learning all you can to ensure that you are up to date with the latest trends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Rely on your intuition when it comes to investments, joint ventures or other people’s affairs. Ask questions and take action based on facts, not assumptions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep your life and everything you do simple, affordable and respectful of the people around you. Tolerance and diplomacy are encouraged. Keep your family or close friends in mind when making decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Share your thoughts and ask questions. Getting along

with people who can make your life easier will help you get a firm hold on your financial future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Travel less and refrain from sharing personal data. Someone will be looking for a way to manipulate or coerce you into spending money or revealing secret information. Protect your assets and possessions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Limitations will set in if you don’t abide by the rules or show detailed accounts of your transactions. Be strict and rigorous regarding a pending deal, tax return or personal request.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t overspend on personal items that seem too good to be true. Be smart and choose to put your energy into getting fit and eating well.

Anne Frank wrote in her diary: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

At the bridge table, occasionally one can improve slam bidding by showing a single card. In today’s deal, what should North rebid after he opens one diamond and South responds one spade?

Despite the weak trumps, the North hand is worth game now. (Yes, in support-point terms the hand contains just 17: 15 high-card points and 2 shortage points for the singleton; but the hand has only five losers: three spades, one heart and one club.

That makes it worth game.)

However, rather than raise directly to four spades, North should jump to four clubs, which is a splinter bid showing game values in spades with four trumps and a singleton (or void) in clubs. (A singleton is seven times more likely than a void.) Now South knows that he has no club losers, because if necessary he can ruff his two low cards in the dummy. He should then use some form of Blackwood to learn that one key card is missing and sign off in six spades.

How should declarer play after West leads the heart nine? (With dummy known to be so short in clubs, leading that suit loses some of its luster.)

South can afford one trump loser, but not two. This is a textbook suit combination. The correct play is first to cash the spade ace. If an honor drops, it’s all over. But if only low cards appear, declarer crosses to the board with a heart (or a diamond) and leads a spade toward his queen.

This avoids any guesswork.

What to watch Women’s basketball: Marquette vs.

DePaul, 8 p.m., FS1 The 17th-ranked Blue Demons take on the Golden Eagles in the Big East Conference tournament championship game at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee.

T

he fog machines were rolling.

Players were introduced individually. Teams lined up for the national anthem. At a rink in Bensenville at the end of the 2002-03 youth hockey season, Ryan Hartman and the Crystal Lake Leafs squared off against Vinnie Hinostroza and the Chicago Blues.

Before they ever wore the same Blackhawks red, black and white, the duo battled for a title.

“I won like eight state championships,” Hinostroza said. “I think that’s one of the only ones I lost.”

Most memories of the game have been lost. The Leafs won, culminating Hartman’s lone season with the Crystal Lake-based program, which has since moved to West Dundee. Hartman joined the Chicago Mission, one of the top clubs in the state, the next season.

He teamed up with Hinostroza while at the Mission, and the pair won several more state championships along the way.

For Hartman, the thing that stands out about that first state championship game is the extravagant entrance the players were given.

“That was pretty cool,” he said.

“That’s the only real memory I have of that.”

Well, except for one other thing.

“We beat Vinnie,” Hartman said.

• • • Hartman played hockey before he even started school.

Born in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Hartman’s family moved to West Dundee when he was 2. His father, Craig Hartman, remembers more about Ryan’s hockey endeavors than anybody. And in case he forgets, he keeps a timeline on his computer.

There is the year with the Leafs, the numerous years with the Mission, the time spent with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in Michigan and two seasons with the Plymouth Whalers.

“His personality hasn’t changed at all since he was a kid,” Craig Hartman said. “He’s been the same since he was young. A lot of kids change through puberty and growing up. He’s been pretty steady.”

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Blackhawks left wing Ryan Hartman (left) watches from the bench in the first period of Saturday’s game against the Islanders at the United Center. Hartman grew up in West Dundee and played for a brief time with the Crystal Lake Leafs before moving his way up the hockey ranks to the Blackhawks.

The things that stand out from the year with the Leafs include the Hartmans’ first trip to Canada and, of course, that state championship game.

Also playing with Hinostroza on the Blues in that game was Christian Dvorak, who now plays for the Arizona Coyotes. Dvorak was even a few years younger than Hinostroza and Hartman.

“Three kids playing in the NHL were playing in that state championship game,” Craig Hartman marveled.

During his year with the Leafs, Hartman played for coach Jack Rowe and alongside Rowe’s son, Jack Rowe Jr. “We all hung out and had fun as kids and ran around and did kid stuff,” the younger Rowe said.

The Rowe family lives in Cary, and Jack Jr. attended Cary-Grove for part of his high school career, before he was drafted to play for the USHL’s Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. He now is a freshman hockey player at Arizona State.

Rowe also moved to the Mission after playing for the Leafs. He has since lost touch with Hartman, but remembers him as a talented kid.

“Our whole team that we played for, especially with the Mission, we were kind of a dynasty,” Rowe said.

“We won everything. There were a lot of guys who were super good on the team. He was one of them, too. I think there were 10 or 12 guys from that team that went on to at least play [Division I college hockey].”

• • • It could not have been more perfect.

The Hawks selected Hartman with the 30th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. For the local kid, it was a dream come true. He came up through the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs before making his NHL debut with the Hawks in 2015.

“I grew up at the halfway point between Rockford and Chicago,” Hartman said. “We’re pretty lucky that they could pretty much make it to almost every home game. If it’s not my parents, it’s my grandparents, or it’s an aunt or uncle or a good, close friend. There’s always support in the United Center.”

Hartman’s parents attend as many games as they can. Ryan’s younger brother, Tanner, plays hockey, too, so the Hartman’s keep busy.

Ryan Hartman has played in 60 of the Hawks’ 65 games this season and has 15 goals and 11 assists. Craig Hartman was born in Garfield Park, and his family has owned a business not far from the United Center for more than 100 years.

“I guess (it’s) a dream come true,” Craig said. “It’s our kid, so it’s like going to see him play when he was a little kid. We just go see him.”

On a recent road trip through Colorado and Boston, the Hawks hosted their “Fathers Trip.” Craig, along with many other Hawks players’ fathers, accompanied the team on the trip.

There was no question what sparked Jacobs to its third Class 4A regional championship in four years Friday night.

To a man, the Golden Eagles talked about preparation and defense. From the outset, they got after St. Charles North hard, providing pressure and challenging shots. It led to a long night for the North Stars at the Eagles’ Nest, as Jacobs won its own regional, 55-39.

Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts usually mentions the defensive effort right away in postgame meetings with reporters. Roberts feels there are times Daryl Quitalig for Shaw Media when his team might not always play St. Charles North guard Anthony Delisi tries to drive past Jacobs’ Ryan Phillips in the first well, but the defense brings it every quarter of the IHSA Class 4A Jacobs Regional championship game Friday in Algonquin. The Ea- game. gles will play Hononegah at 7 p.m. Wednesday in a Class 4A Elgin Sectional semifinal in Elgin.

The Eagles (28-1) are allowing 40.7

points a game as they face Hononegah (23-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in an Elgin Sectional semifinal at Chesbrough Field House. The regional championship was the third consecutive game, and the 13th this season, Jacobs held its opponent to fewer than 40 points.

“We were shutting them down left and right,” 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig said Friday. “That comes with our preparation – we had the sophomores up running the scout team; we had seven films up on St. Charles North. We are one of the most prepared teams in the area, and that’s why we defend so well.”

Eagles guard Cooper Schwartz helped get the offense going with an early 3-pointer in the first and second quarters, but knows where they really set the tone.

“Preparation gets it done for us every night,” Schwartz said. “We executed. I think we really got in their heads on the defensive end, and when you’re playing well on defense, it translates to the offense.”

4 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Soto eager to take on role of mentor Catcher recalls being starstruck when he broke in

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Geovany Soto still remembers walking into the Cubs’ spring training clubhouse for the first time. It was 2004. The catcher from San Juan, Puerto Rico, was 21 years old.

“I was so starstruck,” he said. “I go in and there’s Greg Maddux, there’s Sammy Sosa, there’s Moises Alou. I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Kerry Wood was one of the big ones, too. It was a dream come true when I first stepped in.”

Soto was a September callup in 2007 and went on to start in the playoffs against Arizona. A year later came his breakout as National League Rookie of the Year.

Eventually, however, his star fizzled. Soto is on his fourth big league team, and beginning his second stint with the White

White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada (left) offers peanuts to catcher Geovany Soto in the dugout before a spring training game against the Angels on Saturday in Glendale, Ariz.

Sox, since being traded by the Cubs during the 2012 season.

Soto made his first spring start in nearly a week Monday afternoon against the Padres. He sprang out from behind the plate to field a dribbler and nailed leadoff hitter Erick Aybar at first. He drove a line shot to the wall in left center, missing a home run by a few feet.

In short, he looked good.

And he’s hoping to play far more frequently once the regular season begins.

“I feel like I could play 140, 150 games,” he said. “I want to be in there as much as I can.”

Soto’s career high for games played (141) came in 2008. He hasn’t caught 100 games since 2011. At 34, he isn’t about to be a full-time catcher for the Sox.

Padres 6, White Sox 5 (Glendale, Ariz.)

The White Sox mounted what could have been a very fun ninth-inning rally Monday against the Padres, especially considering who was at the plate with the outcome hanging in the balance.

With the Sox down 6-3, Rymer Liriano opened the inning with a triple.

Catcher-of-the-future Zack Collins followed with a run-scoring ground-rule double.

Yoan Moncada After a strikeout and a groundout, minor leaguer Jacob May kept hope alive with an RBI single that drew the Sox to within a run.

And that brought up the Sox’s top prospect, strapping second baseman Yoan Moncada. The 21-year-old Cuban got himself into a favorable 3-1 count, but the bat stayed glued to his shoulder for the next two pitches – both called strikes. So much for that. The Sox lost, 6-5.

Maybe Moncada was distracted by the sheer size of Padres reliever Brad Wieck, who goes 6 feet, 9 inches, 255 pounds.

Moncada went 0 for 4 with a walk. He has three hits, one of them a triple, in 18

at-bats thus far.

NICKY STICKS Apparently, all Sox nonroster invitee Nicky Delmonico does is hit. No one in Sox camp is swinging a hotter stick than the 24-year-old third baseman, who split time last season between Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham.

Delmonico – couldn’t you just say his name over and over? – was 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI, raising his spring average to .348 with a 1.071 OPS. PUTTING IN WORK Top pitching prospect Michael Kopech will throw a simulated game Tuesday, when the Sox have a rare off day. Pitching coach Don Cooper said he hopes to get the hard-throwing righty the equivalent to three innings of work, focusing primarily on fastball and changeup location.

ON DECK Brewers at Sox, 2:05 p.m. Wednesday, Glendale, Arizona, whitesox.com, Junior Guerra vs. James Shields – Steve Greenberg

And he knows this. He’s cool with it, too.

“I’m here for whatever they want me to do,” he said. “I’m a team player. I love baseball and will do whatever the job requires.”

A major part of it will be helping to guide young catcher Omar Narvaez, who will be used extensively this season, as well as the team’s other young players. Soto and Narvaez could split time close to equally.

Soto took note of how instrumental Cubs catchers David Ross and Miguel Montero were in leading a run to the World Series, even though neither veteran was the team’s primary catcher. The Sox don’t figure to be that good for quite awhile, but Soto is keen on using his experience for the common good as the team comes along.

“Yeah, of course,” he said. “I have a lot of experience, have been on some great teams and some not so great, but every year’s a learning experience, good or bad. I’m always paying attention, always trying to give that knowledge back to younger kids. I really take

pride in being that mentor, the guy you can come up to and ask me anything and I’ll give you the answer. And if I don’t know it, I’ll get it for you.”

Narvaez got a tap on the shoulder from Soto on the first day both were in camp.

“He said, ‘Let me know what I can do for you,’ ” Narvaez said. “He has been pretty helpful to me, very good to me.

I appreciate that. He’s a really nice guy. We can talk to him any time. He knows how to handle the little kids like me.”

Narvaez laughed at his use of “little kids,” adding: “You know what I mean. We’re a family.”

Manager Rick Renteria said he still is about a week away from determining how he plans to use Soto to start the season and how many catchers the team will break camp with.

Two would be a fine number, as Soto sees it.

“I love baseball,” he said.

“I love what I do. I work hard to be here. I love to be a great teammate. I love everything about baseball.”

Especially playing in them, even after all these years.

Cooper on Shields: ‘Watch him do better’

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – James Shields put his good and bad sides on display Monday.

He got through two scoreless innings against the Padres, setting them down in order in the second inning. It was a welcome reminder that, as bad as Shields’ 2016 season was – and it was beyond awful – he did deliver quality starts in four James Shields of his last seven outings.

But in the third inning, Shields served up a blend of walks, hits and a two-run throwing error as four Padres scored. Hey, wasn’t Shields the guy who lost 19 games and gave up 40 home runs last season – both major league highs – and went 4-12 with a 6.77 ERA after be-

ing traded to the White Sox? Sox fans know all too well the answer is yes.

Any chance a 35-year-old Shields, the Sox’s highest-paid player at $21 million ($11 million of which is being paid by the Padres), will get his groove back?

“He’s had a tremendous career.

Check the numbers,” pitching coach Don Cooper said before the game. “Last year, he had a rough time. This year, watch him do better.

“It didn’t go well for him initially, but then he was throwing the ball well. We need more of the good ones rather than the ones we saw earlier.”

Shields was disappointed about walking three batters in 22/3 innings in his second spring start.

“I’m not that type of guy who walks guys very often,” he said. “Having three walks on the day is definitely not what I want to do.”

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Cubs counting on him to meet the challenge

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras looks out onto the field during a spring training game Feb. 27 in Mesa, Ariz. ond-year man Contreras, veteran Miguel Montero and that kid named Kyle Schwarber.

Given good health, Contreras will get the bulk of the catching duties. Montero will be the primary backup, and Schwarber will ease his way into third-catcher duties as he comes back from major knee surgery performed last April after a collision that happened while he was playing left field.

So far, everybody seems to be on board with the program.

Cubs 13, Angels 10 (Tempe, Ariz.)

The Cubs knocked Angels pitching around for 14 hits, including six for extra bases, and eight walks in a 13-10 Cactus League victory Monday that included a seven-run inning for the Cubs. Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist, Jason Heyward, Munenori Kawasaki and Carlos Corporan all had multihit performances.

The Cubs have scored 31 runs in their past three games.

ARRIETA DEBUTS Former Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta made his first start of the spring, albeit settling for a got-his-work-in result, hitting a batter, and allowing five hits, including a home run on a 0-2 pitch, and two earned runs.

He threw 37 pitches in his two innings.

“Physically, I feel really good,” he said. “I was a little off with a couple little things mechanically. I was throwing a lot of strikes, but there were a couple deep counts I didn’t like. No walks was good. The cutter and sinker were really good.”

ON DECK Team Italy (WBC) at Cubs, Mesa, Arizona, 2:05 p.m., cubs.com audio, John Lackey vs. TBD

– Gordon Wittenmyer

Contreras is happy to be the No. 1 catcher. Montero, who expressed dissatisfaction with how he was used in the postseason, ironed things out with manager Joe Maddon during a pasta-and-vino summit. And Schwarber seems happy to be playing anywhere.

Contreras certainly puts a charge into the Cubs’ battery. In 55 games last season, he compiled a hitting line of .282/.357/.488 with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs. Even in lim-

step off the mound and by having Ross work with first baseman Anthony Rizzo.

“The big thing there is the ability from Willson to be able to handle the running game,” Maddon said early in spring training. “We’re going to have David mentor him a little bit regarding the thought, the process, the conversations he’s had with Jonny in the past and continue to move it forward from there. We feel really good about it. I think it’s a real naturally good matchup with Willson and Jon.” Contreras is a right-handed batter, and both Montero and Schwarber hit left-handed. Montero had a line of .216/.327/.357 with eight homers and 33 RBIs last year, but he added some big hits in the postseason and could provide an attractive option for Maddon when the opponent throws a tough right-hander at the Cubs.

Schwarber sits in on the daily catchers meetings in spring training but does physical work behind the plate once or twice a week. Given his powerful bat, the Cubs will take no unnecessary chances with Schwarber’s knee.

Heyward breaks out of spring funk

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

TEMPE, Ariz. – It’s only spring training.

But, said Jason Heyward, “0 for 15 is going to get to you whenever [it happens].”

Heyward, the megabucks right fielder working this spring on fixing what ailed him offensively last year, unloaded five game’s worth of hitless frustration with a no-doubtabout-it home run to right in his first at-bat Monday against Angels righthander Jesse Chavez.

Two at-bats later, in the fourth, the Angels brought in left-hander Greg Mahle to face the lefty-swinging Heyward with the bases loaded and two outs, and he doubled the opposite way to left for two runs.

“I’m in love with that,” Heyward said. “Those are much tougher to come by, especially with two outs, those situations.”

Or, as one Twitter follower put it after the homer, “Our long national nightmare is over.”

Heyward, who reworked his swing during the winter after the worst offensive season of his career, seemed to get a sense of validation Monday for the work and the changes he said felt right even when the hits weren’t coming.

“As far as knowing you’re working on Jason Heyward something and trying to feel something is good,” Heyward said, “and having a clear mind. Because every day in [batting practice] I feel amazing.

“So it’s just putting it together in game speed and working to do that, working hard and working smart. It just gives you that confidence that you’re going to get it done; you’ve just got to keep going and try to find that right timing for the game off the pitchers.”

In his first year of an eight-year, $184 million deal, Heyward hit only .230 with seven homers and a .631 OPS. He seems much more at ease this spring, and manager Joe Maddon has said throughout the past week of games he likes what he sees in Heyward’s new look at the plate, including his hands starting lower and quicker.

Hitting coaches John Mallee and Eric Hinske focused their work with Heyward on getting back to the swing and approach video from 2012 showed, the year he hit a career-high 27 homers.

“I feel like the last couple days we’ve been going in the right direction,” Heyward said. “Actually, we’ve been going in the right direction all along. But the last piece was timing and just feeling that out and being able to tell myself when to go and when to get ready.

“Today I got to see myself and feel myself in game action do it the right way, and get myself enough time to take good swings and fight off a tough pitch and get to the next pitch.”

It would be difficult to imagine a more auspicious big league debut than the one Willson Contreras experienced in June.

In his first major league at-bat, Contreras hit the first pitch he saw out of the park Note to for a two-run readers homer against the Pirates.

This is the Easy game, first in a series huh? of position No, it nevpreviews on er is that easy. the Cubs.

But Contreras is learning his craft, and, by all accounts, he has been a quick study.

That will be important for the Cubs this year because the entire dynamic behind the plate has changed. Respected veteran David Ross retired after the World Series, leaving the catching duties to sec-

ited time, he had a wins above replacement (WAR) of 2.2, according to FanGraphs. That was good for seventh among National League catchers.

He’s a ball of energy behind the plate, which can be both a good and a bad thing. The Cubs have a veteran pitching staff, and those pitchers like a steady hand catching them.

On top of that, Contreras will be the primary catcher for ace lefty Jon Lester, who threw to Ross the past two seasons.

Lester made his spring debut Sunday, working with Contreras.

“We’ll figure it out,” Lester told reporters. “It’s just a matter of throwing innings and pitches and all that stuff. I’m not concerned with it at all.

Willie’s such a good kid and cares, and he wants to learn and get better. I don’t see any reason why this is ever going to be an issue for anybody.”

According to Maddon, controlling the opposing team’s running game will be a key factor, especially given Lester’s well-known problems throwing to first on attempted pickoffs. Ross and Lester were able to halt the running game effectively by having Lester

PISTONS 109, BULLS 95

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com

• Tuesday, March 7, 2017

AUBURN HILLS, Mich – It’s not like the Bulls can’t figure out what happens to them late in games like this.

“They made some shots. We missed some.

And that’s how the game goes,” Bulls guard Jimmy Butler said after the Bulls faltered in the fourth quarter in a 109-95 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night at the Palace.

Figuring out what to do about it seems like it will be a little more problematic for a disjointed team still finding its way after the trade of Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott. The Bulls led by 14 points in the first quarter and by three points late in the third. But after the Pistons tied the score at 79 after three quarters, the Bulls were dominated in the fourth – shooting 6 of 20 from the field and getting outscored 30-16.

It was a similar fate to their loss to the Clippers on Saturday, when the Bulls scored 61 points in the first half, but were outscored 4630 in the second half of a 101-91 loss.

Playing without guards Dwyane Wade (thigh) and Rajon Rondo (ankle) made the Pistons’ job a little easier – put the clamps on Butler and watch the Bulls’ offense implode.

Butler led the Bulls with 27 points on 7-of-16 shooting, with nine rebounds and four assists.

But he was shut down by the Pistons early in the fourth quarter as they opened an 89-82 lead and never were threatened.

Even Butler had his moments. On a fast break after a Pistons turnover with the Bulls trailing 87-82, it looked like Butler had an opportunity for a slam dunk. Instead, he fumbled the ball out of bounds. Andre Drummond scored at the other end to make it 89-82.

“They were blitzing Jimmy, doing a good job,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “It’s an opportunity when you draw two to the ball like that to make a pocket pass and then hopefully play the numbers game in the back side. We didn’t take advantage of that.”

Butler vowed to be more aggressive against the Pistons than he was against the Clippers – when he took only seven shots and scored 16 points. He was, but without Rondo and Wade, he was virtually helpless in crunch time. Bobby Portis, Robin Lopez, Paul Zipser, Jerian Grant and Cameron Payne combined for six points on 3-of-11 shooting in the fourth quarter.

“I think everybody knows who’s going to get the ball in the fourth quarter, given that D-Wade is out, Rondo is out,” Butler said.

“They did a good job of making me give the ball up, double-teaming me.

“Obviously that was their scouting report.

I could hear them yelling it from the other end of the floor. I take the shots we got. I want the young guys being aggressive, shooting when your open. attacking the rim when you can.

It’s only going to make us better in this long run that’s so short with the 19 or so games we have left. We’ll be OK.”

BULLS NOTES

Rookie Valentine warming up to bigger role

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Denzel Valentine was proudly wearing his “Lansing” sweatshirt when he arrived at Detroit’s Country Day School for the Bulls’ shootout Monday.

“I saw somebody on Instagram, they had it on,” the Bulls rookie guard said. “And I DM’ed him and said, ‘I need one.’ And they sent me one. Me and my brother got one.”

Valentine wears that shirt everywhere he goes, but it had special meaning Monday upon his return to Michigan – he starred at Sexton High School and at Michigan State in Lansing.

This “homecoming” was a little better than Valentine’s first one as a pro. He did not play in the Bulls’ 10291 loss to the Pistons on Dec. 6 at the

Palace. This time he is at least on the fringe of the rotation.

“I’m excited,” Valentine said. “But at the same time, I can’t put too much into it. I’m just looking at it as another game to get better.”

Valentine admitted it was difficult to sit on the bench when the Bulls lost to the Pistons in December.

“You’ve got a lot of Denzel fans, a lot of people sup- Valentine porting you and you don’t get to play – it kind of bums you out a little bit,” Valentine said. “But at the same time, I’m doing the job I dreamed about doing. So I’m just glad I’m getting another chance to get better, and what do you know – I’m back in the rotation.”

Valentine came into Monday

Fourth-quarter woes resurface

night’s game averaging 8.0 points in 21.8 minutes in five games since Doug McDermott was traded to Oklahoma City. But he made 11-of-23 3-pointers in that span. In the five games before the trade, Valentine was 4 of 16 on 3-pointers.

PT boosts BP: Second-year forward Bobby Portis also has benefited from added playing time after the trade of Taj Gibson to the Thunder.

He came in off promising games against the Nuggets (12 points, six rebounds, three steals), Warriors (17 points, 13 rebounds) and Clippers (11 points, seven rebounds). It’s the first time all season Portis has scored double-figures in three consecutive games.

“He’s taken advantage of the trade and inserting him in the starting lineup … playing with great energy,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “I loved

his little flurry right before halftime (eight points in the final 1:20 against the Clippers).

“He gets out and runs. He’s one of our better screeners. He’s going to rebound and battle, and that’s what we’re looking for out of Bobby every night.”

Blast from the past: Former Bulls center Luc Longley caught up with former teammate Bill Wennington before Monday night’s game. Wennington and Longley were teammates on the Bulls’ second three-peat in 1995-96 through 1997-98.

The duo, in fact, combined for 25 points in the historic 108-86 dismantling of the Sonics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals in 1996.

Longley coached current Pistons center Aron Baynes on Australia’s Olympic team in Rio.

8 CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL FOOTBALL

Blake to announce decision March 17

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com Wyatt Blake is ready to make his decision.

The Crystal Lake Central junior offensive lineman with 14 scholarship offers was planning to announce his college choice May 15, his mother’s birthday.

On Monday, he decided to move that date up to March 17.

Wyatt Blake “I just felt I was ready to go,” Blake said. “In my heart, I knew it was time to go.”

Blake has offers from Boston College, Central Michigan, Duke, Indiana, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Syracuse, Toledo, Vanderbilt and Virginia.

Blake plans to narrow the field to four schools, and will announce his top choices Friday.

The 6-foot-3 junior lineman cut down to 285 pounds for wrestling season, but was heavier than 300 pounds during the football season. He is listed as a three-star offensive lineman by Scout.com and a four-star lineman by 247sports. com. 247sports’ composite ranking places him as the sixth-best recruit in the state of Illinois and 34th-best offensive tackle in the country for the class of 2018.

The recruiting process really started for him as a freshman when MaxPreps named him to its 2014 freshman All-American team. He received his first scholarship offer as a sophomore.

By now, he’s ready to make his choice. Blake said he has no plans to make any more campus visits between now and March 17.

“It’s cool in the beginning, talking to coaches and stuff,” Blake said. “I’ve gotten to the point where I kind of want it to be done.”
