TODAY’S TALKER

After 70-year ban, N. Dakota reconsiders parking meters

By JAMES MacPHERSON

The daily

TWEET @NWHerald

The Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. – When an angry farmer was ticketed for not feeding a parking meter, he launched a one-man crusade that made North Dakota the nation’s only state that bans the meters on all public streets.

Now the governor is quietly trying to end the nearly 70-year ban in hopes of revitalizing downtowns, and the farmer’s granddaughter is fighting to uphold her family’s legacy.

Howard Henry, who grew wheat near the town of Westhope, a few miles from the Canadian border, received the fateful ticket in the 1940s in Minot. He quickly concluded that parking meters were mechanical bandits that were unneeded in a wide-open state.

By reintroducing meters, Gov. Doug Burgum and his allies in the Legislature hope to encourage more parking turnover, leading to more sales for businesses and more tax revenue for communities and the state.

If Henry were still alive, he would be “very upset,” said his granddaughter, former state Sen. JoNell Bakke of Grand Forks. “He’d be ready to go out and do another initiative. He was so passionate about this and everything he did.”

Meters were outlawed in 1948. The ban withstood court challenges. When the Legislature repealed it in 1951, Henry led another successful referendum to reverse the decision.

“He made it a populist thing and urban versus rural,” said Burgum, a Republican and onetime software executive turned philanthropist who helped rebuild the downtown of Fargo, the state’s largest city, with a population just over 100,000.

The state Senate has endorsed legislation that would allow communities to install parking meters on their streets if they choose. The proposal is awaiting action in the House.

GOP Sen. Jessica Unruh, from the town of Beulah, with a population of about 3,000, said her community does not need any meters. But she sponsored the bill because she was asked to do so by the state Transportation Department at the request of Burgum, who kept his support of the bill mum until The Associated Press asked about it.

If the ban is repealed, Bakke said she will lead another effort to prohibit meters in her grandfather’s memory.

Parking meters are allowed on state or private property, and some of North Dakota’s col-

No-parking signs are displayed Tuesday in downtown Bismarck, N.D. North Dakota is the only state that bans parking meters, but now Gov. Doug Burgum is quietly trying to end the nearly 70-year ban in hopes of revitalizing downtowns. leges have them in parking lots. Instead of using meters, many cities enforce parking limits by chalking vehicle tires.

The state’s two biggest cities, Fargo and Bismarck, have long supported repealing the ban, even arguing once that chalking tires can cause shoulder and elbow injuries for enforcement officers.

Orlyn Wanstrom, who owns Bismarck Barber Shop on the city’s Main Street, said it’s probably best to leave parking meters in North Dakota’s history.

“The downside I see is people running out filling the meters to keep their parking spots,” Wanstrom said. “Then you have to pay people checking the expired meters, and that will be more costly for the city.

“They got rid of them for a reason,” he said.

Henry, a Democrat, gained statewide recognition for defeating the meters, but he failed to parlay the achievement into elected office, losing bids for governor and Congress, despite crisscrossing the state and dropping campaign leaflets from airplanes. He was elected to the state House but died during his term in 1971.

Bakke, also a Democrat, said her grandfather obtained a parking meter that had stood along the Minot street where he got that long-ago parking ticket while chatting with a fellow farmer on the sidewalk. She now keeps it in her living room as a reminder of her feisty relative.

“He just didn’t feel it was right to have to pay to park and shop in North Dakota,” she said.

“And I don’t either.”

Shamrock Shave in Algonquin to raise money for 14-year-old with cancer

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Nearly every year since 2009, Algonquin resident Greg Freund has participated in the Shamrock Shave, hosted by St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church.

This year will be different, however, because money raised by Freund and those on his team will benefit his 14-year-old daughter, Talia Freund, who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma in July.

“I didn’t realize back in 2009 when I decided to do this, and then [my children] decided to do it with me, that

someday it would turn around and be a benefit for us as well as other kids,” Freund said.

Freund’s children, Talia and 13-year-old Owen, had participated in the Shamrock Shave with their father before, and after Talia was diagnosed with the rare bone cancer, the whole family shaved their heads before she started chemotherapy treatments.

“After she realized she was going to lose her hair anyway, she just said, ‘You know what, I’d rather shave it than wait until it starts falling out,’ ” Greg Freund said.

In March, organizations throughout the country hold shaves to benefit

the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and other local causes. The shaves are meant to raise money for childhood cancer research and show children who have lost their hair because of treatments that others stand proudly with them, according to the foundation’s website.

About 1 in 285 children in the U.S. will have cancer before they turn 20 years old, according to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation’s website, and about 4 percent of U.S. federal funding is dedicated to childhood cancer research.

“There’s not enough being dedicated to ensuring that these children have long lives following treatment, or

successful treatments in general,” said Tabitha Freeman, Talia’s mother.

Talia visits her father on weekends and in the summer at his Algonquin home, and she lives full time with her brother, mother and stepfather, Joe Freeman, in Mazon.

When Talia was in eighth grade and an active runner, she started experiencing excruciating pain, which doctors at first brushed off as an athletic injury, her mother said. It wasn’t until July that she was officially diagnosed and admitted to Advocate Lutheran General Children’s Hospital.

Woodstock mulls sales tax increase

Increase could cover hole left after City Council votes to lower property taxes

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – City Council members are considering increasing Woodstock’s sales tax rate after voting to reduce property taxes by 10 percent Tuesday.

With the change, City Council members might tack on a percentage point to Woodstock’s sales tax rate.

Officials said the move could be one way to combat a reduction in property taxes, which in turn will allow for better resident and business attraction and retention.

Not all are convinced that the home rule sales tax increase is the best step forward, however.

“If we raise sales tax on businesses like this, it could have catastrophic consequences to the city of Woodstock,” said Jim Prindiville, who is running for Woodstock City Council. “If you raise the sales tax by 1 percent, that is going to reduce the

Judge won’t lower bond for man accused in fatal OD

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge will not lower the bond of a 65-year-old McHenry man facing a drug-induced homicide charge.

Glen L. Miculinic, of the 1200 block of Clover Lane, appeared in court Tuesday with his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer, for a bond hearing. Miculinic was charged in February Glen L. with drug-induced ho- Miculinic micide and delivery of a controlled substance after he allegedly provided heroin to Erik Fredricksen, 55, who reportedly overdosed in a Shell gas station bathroom in McHenry.

Detectives concluded that Fredricksen might have taken heroin, allegedly

supplied by Miculinic, before his death.

Fredricksen, of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, grew up in Wonder Lake and worked in a variety of trades, from construction and foundries to installations and disaster restoration, according to his obituary. He lived in Woodstock, Harvard, McHenry and Hebron in Illinois, as well as Lawrence, Lake Geneva and Elkhorn in Wisconsin.

“Erik was as sentimental as he was generous, dearly loving his family, his friends and Erik Fredricksen traveling, and was happiest when combining all three,” according to his obituary.

Miculinic is being held in jail in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $250,000 bond. If convicted of the most serious charge, he faces up to 30 years in prison.

Messer asked that Miculinic’s bond

be reduced to $50,000. Messer said that although she understands the seriousness of the charges against her client, Miculinic is a long-term resident of McHenry County who isn’t likely to flee if he posts bond. She also said her client has health problems, and he’s concerned about getting medical care while in jail.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs said Miculinic has access to medical treatment in the jail. Combs said he felt $250,000 was appropriate given the nature of the charge.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer denied the request for a bond reduction. He cited the nature of the charges.

Miculinic has a history of drug crime. He was convicted of possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, in 2003. He next will appear in court March 24.

The sales tax could be one way to raise revenue in order to fill a financial gap after council members unanimously voted to reduce property taxes by 10 percent, which would reduce revenue by a little less than $1 million, city officials said.

“There are sufficient reserves in the general fund to weather that storm,” City Manager Roscoe Stelford said.

But the city would have to find a sustainable revenue source to eventually fill that reduction, he said.

City Council member Mike Turner said his priority was to address the property tax burden because that was the No. 1 concern he hears from residents and businesses.

“I am not happy about the concept about a 1 percent sales tax. I’m not,” Turner said. “But I am less happy with the property taxes I pay on a business and a home. I am less happy with home values crashing because people can’t afford to move here, and now taxes take up almost as much as a mortgage

If your child has ever struggled with math, you’ve probably heard this question, and if you haven’t, their teachers certainly have. It can be hard for students to connect math’s abstract concepts to their own lives, and it’s even harder to connect those concepts to something as far off as their careers.

So here’s a list to help make that connection, showing how math works its way into jobs you might not expect. After all, math is abstract enough that it applies to every field out there. Even if your child doesn’t know what they want their career to be, you can be sure it will involve math.

Medicine and Natural Sciences If your child is considering a career in one of the sciences, they’ve probably accepted that they’ll need to know some math, but they might think of that as secondary to mixing acids or living the dramatic personal life of a TV doctor. Math, though, is foundational to every natural science. Physics is near-constant calculations, chemistry involves balancing equations, and even biologists need to count the frogs they’re studying. And every single one of them will use quantitative data analysis to share their findings. Not all scientists need to be math geniuses, but none of them can escape the discipline.

Construction Construction workers need skill and grit to do their jobs. They also need a working knowledge of geometry: they’re building all the shapes they teach you about in high school, and formulas for area and volume give them information they really need. In fact, a 2013 study from Northeastern University found that blue-collar workers do more math than anyone else in the workforce, which makes sense. If a construction crew gets their calculations wrong, the consequences range from a scathing review on Angie’s List to a complete rooftop collapse. Which…would probably be mentioned on Angie’s List too.

That’s not all the math that’s important for construction. Despite its stodgy name and niche applications, workers use the Pythagorean theorem to square walls and frame roofs.

Plotting linear equations might not look like a growth industry, but building stairs calls for the same definition of slope you’ll find in algebra class. And, until the United States converts to the metric system, construction workers will need to do those conversions themselves.

It’s just recognition for a job well done, and you say, ‘Have a steak on us and the Texas Roadhouse, no strings attached,’ ” Malone said.

Malone, a retired Army first sergeant who served with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, said the local Texas Roadhouse collects money during the year to dole out to various community groups, and that the VFW was one of them. Members of the post

“When you meet a veteran at Walmart or Costco or Sam’s Club, you recognize them and hand them a card. It’s just recognition for a job well done, and you say, ‘Have a steak on us and the Texas Roadhouse, no strings attached.’ ”

Fitness Ah yes, fitness. A field where every day seems like a word problem: Ronnie’s on a diet. He wants to eat 2000 calories a day, 75 grams of protein, 50 grams of carbs, 30 grams of fiber, and no more than 20 grams of fat. He’s eaten so much oatmeal that he’s forgotten what flavor is. He knows that tuna is good for him, but if he eats even one more can, he will literally cry. Write a meal plan for Ronnie, because he’s curled up on the floor and surely can’t do it for himself.

There’s a reason the American Council on Exercise offers courses in math: for fitness professionals, competitive athletes, and even regular folk trying to be healthy, diet and exercise are numbers games. Any optimized fitness plan takes math, whether that’s counting macronutrients, figuring out your pace for a 10k, or calculating percentages of your one-rep max.

Business and Sales Every business—from Walmart to startups—wants the same thing: to make more money than it spends. And so every business needs to do the math. Will this investment net a profit? Will this client contribute to long-term growth? If we expand, will that increase our sales or just our overhead costs?

Companies need answers to these questions, and they value employees who help them get the answers they want. Your child can benefit from mathematical thinking because their employer benefits too.

Personal Finance Ronnie has a date tonight. Congratulations, Ronnie! His checking account has $479. At midnight, $147 will be automatically drafted to pay his health insurance premium, along with $184 for his car insurance and $73 for his data plan. His rent is due in two days. Assuming he plans to buy dinner and tip at least 20%, how should he cancel his date? Because he definitely cannot afford it.

Critical Thinking When your child enters the workforce, we don’t really know what work will look like.

But we do know this: Math teaches us how to solve problems. It teaches us how to make the abstract real for ourselves and others. It teaches us how to take dizzyingly complex ideas and break them down into manageable pieces. It teaches us to find clarity, whether that clarity is financial, strategic, artistic, or moral.

Math teaches us to make sense of the world for a moment, if just that single moment, and whatever we do, however we live, whomever we become, we’ll use that. We will.

14-year-old battling Ewing’s sarcoma and the daughter of an Algonquin man

Continued from page A3 In December, Talia completed 31 aggressive chemotherapy treatments that were unsuccessful, the family said. Now she will be doing a less intense type of chemotherapy intended to extend her life, and the family is pursuing more holistic treatments often not covered by insurance.

Tabitha Freeman no longer works, as Talia requires 24-hour care and cannot go to school at Seneca Township High School most days.

“Obviously, now things have changed a little bit, and we want to try and enjoy as much as we can with her,” Greg Freund said. “… With the generosity of a lot of people, we’re able to do a lot of things with her.”

Now’s a good time to get ready for tornado season The nightmare is almost always the same. I am standing at the front door of my childhood home along Draper Road outside McHenry.

Across the open fields (now covered with subdivisions), I see a massive tornado bearing down on us. No doubt years of watching video of the big ones in Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley has fueled this terrifying visual.

My breathing quickens and my anxiety spikes as I hear the tornado’s tell-tale sound of a locomotive and see the swirling winds. In this nightmare, I am paralyzed by my fear, which is probably why I wake up every time before it hits.

In real life, I’d be running for the basement. Actually, I’d be in the basement long before I’d be able to see anything coming my way.

The nightmare no doubt stems from the powerlessness I feel when confronted by circumstances beyond my control. After all, I have no way of preventing a tornado.

I’ve also seen what tornadoes can do. The recent tornadoes that struck Ottawa and Naplate in LaSalle County, leaving a path of destruction in their wake, are painful reminders of those beyond-our-control forces.

However, there are a few things

VIEWS Joan Oliver that we can do to increase our chances of survival. Now is the time to put those plans into place. March, after all, is Severe Weather Preparedness Month.

A lot of information about getting prepared is available on the McHenry County Emergency Management’s website at McHenryAware.com. There you’ll find information how to get text alerts, how to use the county’s 211 system and help for putting together an emergency kit.

The National Weather Service also offers these helpful tips: • At home, practice a family tornado drill at least once a year.

• Store protective coverings (mattress, sleeping bags, thick blankets, etc.) in or next to your shelter space.

• Avoid windows.

• Get in the basement or under some kind of sturdy protection (heavy table or work bench), or cover yourself with a mattress or sleeping bag.

• Know where very heavy objects (pianos, refrigerators, water beds, etc.)

rest on the floor above and do not go under them.

• If you do not have a basement, go to the lowest floor and into an interior room. A closet or a bathroom is recommended.

• If you’re in a vehicle, remember that they are easily tossed and destroyed by tornadoes.

• Take shelter in a sturdy building.

If that’s not possible, lie flat in a low spot or ditch as far from the road as possible to avoid flying vehicles. Do not park under a bridge or underpass.

• The Federal Emergency Management Agency suggests that families have enough food, water and supplies on hand to go for at least 72 hours.

A number of websites provide useful information about how to build a “go kit”:

• FEMA: ready.gov • American Red Cross: redcross.org • Gear Up Get Ready: gearupgetready.

org

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: noaa.gov

With the extreme weather swings we’ve been having recently, it might be a good idea to get prepared sooner rather than later. Historically, most of the tornadoes in Illinois occur from March to June. However, we all know they can happen at any time.

So it’s always better to be ready … just in case.

LAKE IN THE HILLS

NORTHWEST HERALD LAKE IN THE HILLS – A lifelong West Dundee resident who buys a lottery ticket once or twice a month recently won $50,000 after buying a Powerball ticket in Lake in the Hills.

Eric Krahl, 41, said he plans to use the money to take a vacation. He’s also planning to invest, according to a news release from the Illinois Lottery.

“I play Powerball once or twice a month, and I always buy a ticket when the jackpot is really high,” Krahl said.

He bought a Quick Pick ticket at Lake in the Hills Liquor, 461 N. Randall Road, in Lake in the Hills. He matched four numbers plus the Powerball number in Eric Krahl the Feb. 11 drawing. The winning numbers were 5, 9, 17, 37, 64, and the Powerball number was 2.

Lake in the Hills Liquor got a bonus of $500, 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling a winning ticket.

Charges dropped against mom after baby left out in parking lot child outside or knew the child was outside,” State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Charles Pelkie said Tuesday. “The charge could be refiled if further information develops.”

At 6:56 p.m. Saturday, a neighbor came home and found the infant in a stroller wearing a jacket that was not zipped, Joliet police said. The girl was taken to the hospital for an examination and turned over to the Department of Children and Family Services.

Police reportedly found Vance and Franklin passed out inside a nearby apartment. Franklin had taken the child to visit a friend and then stopped at a liquor store before he returned to the apartments about 6:20 p.m., Joliet police said.

Franklin still faces three counts of endangering the life or health of a child and is being held in Will County Jail.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – A draft of a new Chicago Police Department use-of-force policy released Tuesday would give officers more latitude in deciding when to fire their weapons, backing off an earlier proposal that the police union had said was too restrictive and could have put officers in danger.

Chicago is struggling to forge a new police policy that balances the need for officers to do their work amid a wave of shootings, while restoring community trust following public anger over the shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014.

The new draft backs off a suggestion in October that officers not use force unless “all other reasonable alternatives have been exhausted.” That prompted concern from the police union that it was “too restrictive and would endanger officers who need to protect themselves in various situations.”

The proposal now says that officers are required to use de-escalation tactics only when it does not put their personal safety at risk.

“The requirement that officers apply de-escalation principles does not mean officers must endanger themselves,’ according to the latest draft.

Rauner: Illinois ‘won’t do well’ under GOP health plan

CHICAGO – Illinois’ Republican governor said he is “very concerned” that the state’s residents might be “left in the lurch” under the health care plan proposed by congressional Republicans.

Gov. Bruce Rauner said Tuesday that he is talking with his fellow GOP governors and members of Congress on ideas for changing the proposal.

He declined to discuss his specific recommendations.

But Rauner said his first impression of the proposal is “Illinois won’t do very well under the changes they’re recommending.” He said he’s especially concerned that it will result in “pressure to reduce insurance coverage for people in Illinois.”

AP file photo

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson speaks at a news conference Feb. 1 in Chicago.

Dean Angelo Sr. told the Chicago Tribune that the changes since October show the department paid attention to union concerns.

“It’s not like we look forward to utilizing force or we look forward to firing our weapon,” he told the newspaper.

But others said that latest proposal was troubling in the context of a history of Chicago police condoning and using excessive force.

“Nobody wants a cop to be shot or

hurt, but they haven’t demonstrated good judgment as when to use (lethal force) and when not to,” Alderman Howard Brookins Jr. said. “I am concerned about giving them more authority and more latitude toward (the use of) lethal force.”

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson rejected any suggestion that either he or the department is backing away from implemented needed reforms but suggested that changes were needed to

Rauner said it’s clear the Affordable Care Act is not affordable and it needs to change.

He said, “I support changing it, but we’ve got to be thoughtful about it.”

The Chicago threat comes as the New York-based Anti-Defamation League and several Jewish community centers across the country reported a new round of bomb threats Tuesday.

Jewish school evacuated after bomb threat

CHICAGO – Authorities said students were evacuated for nearly two hours from a Jewish grade school in Chicago after someone called in a bomb threat.

Police shut down several streets surrounding the Chicago Jewish Day School on the city’s North Side after the threat was reported Tuesday morning.

Police said school staff decided to evacuate the students and staff members. Police dogs were used to search around the school, but police didn’t immediately say whether anything was found before students were allowed to return.

The school’s website says it has more than 200 students from junior kindergarten to eighth grade.

Rockford airport sees jump in cargo, passengers

ROCKFORD – A northern Illinois airport said it saw jumps in cargo handling and passengers last year.

The Chicago Rockford International Airport said it recorded a nearly 16 percent increase from 2015 in the amount of cargo to about 923 million pounds.

The Rockford Register Star reported that Ohio-based ABX Air started operations at the airport last September.

Airport officials said ABX now has four flights a day, while UPS added two daily flights late last year.

The airport’s passenger traffic increased 4 percent to about 225,000 passengers, in part because Allegiant added capacity on its routes to Punta Gorda and Clearwater in Florida and Mesa, Arizona.

protect police officers.

“It is important that we balance public safety with officer safety so we are trying to get it right and we are trying to be transparent...” he said after an unrelated event at a school on the city’s West Side.

Chicago’s police department has been under intense pressure since a video was released in 2015 showing a white officer shooting McDonald 16 times. Public outrage led to calls for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down, forced out the police chief and led to the election defeat of a prosecutor who had not moved for months to charge the officer.

The U.S. Justice Department in the waning days of President Barack Obama’s administration concluded in a scathing report that the Chicago department had a long history of civil -rights violations and excessive force.

But it is unclear whether President Donald Trump’s administration will follow through on those conclusions and push Chicago for reforms.

Emanuel and the police department are also under scrutiny following a sharp increase in homicides concentrated in poor neighborhoods. Chicago had 762 murders in 2016, the most killings in the city in nearly two decades and more than New York and Los Angeles combined.

U of I aims to end binge drinking tradition

CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois officials are working with law enforcement in Champaign-Urbana to end a student tradition of binge drinking on what’s known as “Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day” after a student’s death this weekend.

Twenty-three-year-old Jonathan Morales died over the weekend, becoming the third student to do so in a little more than a decade during “Unofficial” festivities.

Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup said the cause of Morales’ death appears to be consistent with multiple blunt-force injuries suffered in a fall from a fourth-floor balcony Friday night. Police said Morales had been drinking with friends and that the fall is believed to be accidental.

University chancellor Robert Jones said he plans to gather community leaders to help end the tradition before the next observance of “Unofficial.”

Judge OKs construction of wide marches held the day after President Donald Trump’s Dakota Access pipeline BISMARCK, N.D. – A federal judge on Tuesday declined to temporarily stop construction of the final section of the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline, clearing the way for oil to flow as soon as next week.

The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes pledged to continue their legal fight against the project, even after the pipeline begins operating.

The tribes had asked U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington to direct the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw permission for Texas-based developer Energy Transfer Partners to lay pipe under Lake Oahe in North Dakota.

The stretch under the Missouri River reservoir in southern North Dakota is the last piece of construction for the $3.8 billion pipeline to move North Dakota oil to Illinois.

Conservative backlash threatens to sink new GOP health care bill

By ERICA WERNER and ALAN FRAM

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A powerful conservative backlash threatened to sink the new Republican health care bill Tuesday less than 24 hours after its launch, even as President Donald Trump and congressional leaders began trying to sell the legislation as the long-promised GOP cure for “Obamacare.”

“We’re going to do something that’s great and I’m proud to support the replacement plan released by the House of Representatives,” Trump declared at the White House as he met Tuesday with the House GOP vote-counting team. “We’re going to take action. There’s going to be no slowing down. There’s going to be no waiting and no more excuses by anybody.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence told GOP lawmakers at the Capitol this was their chance to scuttle President Barack Obama’s 2010 law, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forecast congressional passage by early April.

But major obstacles loomed as key Republican lawmakers announced their opposition, and one conservative group after another torched the plan.

The Club for Growth, Heritage Action for America, Americans for Prosperity and Tea Party Patriots variously derided the new bill as Obamacare Lite, Obamacare 2.0 and even RyanCare, in a dig at House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

The new GOP plan would repeal the current law’s unpopular fines on people who don’t carry health insurance. It also would replace income-based subsidies, which the law provides to help millions of Americans pay premiums, with age-based tax credits that may

Those payments would phase out for higher-earning people.

The legislation also would limit future federal funding for Medicaid, which covers low-income people, about 1 in 5 Americans. And it would loosen rules that Obama’s law imposed for health plans directly purchased by individuals.

Republican supporters and opponents are all intent on reducing the role of government in health care, but some House conservatives say the new bill doesn’t go nearly far enough.

For example, they are focusing on the system of refundable tax credits they denounce as a costly new entitlement. They’re demanding a vote on a straightforward repeal-only bill.

At the White House meeting Tuesday, Trump made clear to House Republicans that he would be personally engaging with individual members who oppose the bill as leadership tries to round up votes, according to a lawmaker present who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private

gathering.

Not long after, Trump appeared to be making good on his promise, tweeting at Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has criticized the bill.

“I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster!” the president wrote. The president plans to reconvene the group next week and will meet with conservative leaders to discuss the issue Wednesday.

The concerted conservative opposition was a remarkable rebuke to legislation GOP leaders hope will fulfill seven years of promises to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, pledges that played out in countless Republican campaigns for House and Senate as well as last year’s race for president.

Instead, the groups that are uniting to oppose the new House legislation include many that sprang up to oppose passage of “Obamacare” in the first place.

Missing from WikiLeaks’ trove are the actual hacking tools themselves, some of which were developed by government hackers while others were purchased from outsiders. WikiLeaks said it planned to avoid distributing tools “until a consensus emerges” on the political nature of the CIA’s program and how such software could be analyzed, disarmed and published.

Tuesday’s disclosure left anxious consumers who use the products with little recourse, since repairing the software vulnerabilities in ways that might block the tools’ effectiveness is the responsibility of leading technology companies. The revelations threatened to upend confidence in an Obama-era government program, the Vulnerability Equities Process, under which federal agencies warn technology companies about weaknesses in their software so they can be quickly fixed.

It was not immediately clear how WikiLeaks obtained the information, and details in the documents could not immediately be verified. WikiLeaks said the material came from “an isolated, high-security network” inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence but didn’t say whether the files were removed by a rogue employee or whether

the theft involved hacking a federal contractor working for the CIA or perhaps breaking into a staging server where such information might have been temporarily stored.

“The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive,” WikiLeaks said in a statement.

Some technology firms on Tuesday said they were evaluating the information. Microsoft Corp. said it was looking into the report, while the maker of secure messaging app Signal said the purported CIA tools affected users’ actual phones and not its software design or encryption protocols.

The manufacturer of the popular Telegram mobile messaging app said in a statement that manufacturers of cellphones and their operating systems, including Apple, Google and Samsung, were responsible for improving the security of their devices.

It said the effort will require “many hours of work and many security updates” and assured its customers that “If the CIA is not on your back, you shouldn’t start worrying yet.”

Democrats push No. 2 Justice pick for Russia probe

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Democrats pushed Tuesday for a special prosecutor to examine the Trump administration’s potential ties to Russia, using a confirmation hearing to urge the No. 2 pick at the Justice Department to consider handing over any such investigation to an independent overseer.

“We need steel spines, not weak knees when it comes to political independence in the Department of Justice,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat.

The remarks came during a hearing for Rod Rosenstein, a longtime federal prosecutor tapped for deputy attorney general, which instead became a referendum on Russian meddling in the presidential election.

As deputy, Rosenstein would assume oversight of a federal investigation into Russian influence after the recusal last week of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said he would step aside from any probes into the Trump campaign after revelations of unreported contacts with the Russian ambassador last year.

Though repeatedly pressed by Democrats, Rosenstein would not commit

Ben Cardin, D-Md., welcome Deputy Attorney General-designate, federal prosecutor Rod Rosenstein, Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., before the start of Rosenstein’s confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. to appointing a special prosecutor and said he was unaware of a basis to do so at the moment.

Rosenstein responded in lawyerly fashion to hours of questioning, saying he had no direct knowledge of any Russia-related investigation and had

not read the intelligence community’s formal assessment that Russia interfered during the campaign on behalf of President Donald Trump. That review, from the country’s intelligence agencies, concluded in January that Russian intelligence agencies were be-

hind the hack of Democratic National Committee networks and had worked to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of election.

He promised to handle that investigation like any other if evidence of criminal wrongdoing emerged.

“I don’t know the details of what if any investigation is ongoing, but I can certainly assure you, if it’s America against Russia or America against any other country I think everyone in this room knows which side I’m on,” Rosenstein said.

That commitment was not enough for some Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he could not support Rosenstein’s nomination – despite his apolitical reputation and service as a U.S. attorney under presidential administrations of both parties – unless Rosenstein could commit to recusing himself and appointing what some have taken to calling a special prosecutor – although special counsel is technically the correct title.

“I say so with some sadness and regret because of my respect for you, but this issue of principle is so profoundly important. Only you – only you – have the power to appoint a special prosecutor,” said Blumenthal, D-Conn.

WASHINGTON – WikiLeaks published thousands of documents Tuesday described as secret files about CIA hacking tools the government employs to break into users’ computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs from companies such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung.

The documents describe clandestine methods for bypassing or defeating encryption, antivirus tools and other protective security features intended to keep the private information of citizens and corporations safe from prying eyes.

U.S. government employees, including President Donald Trump, use many of the same products and internet services purportedly compromised by the tools.

The documents describe CIA efforts – cooperating with friendly foreign governments and the U.S. National Security Agency – to subvert the world’s most popular technology platforms, including Apple’s iPhones and iPads, Google’s Android phones and the Microsoft Windows operating system for desktop computers and laptops.

The documents also include discussions about compromising some inter-

net-connected televisions to turn them into listening posts. One document discusses hacking vehicle systems, indicating the CIA’s interest in hacking modern cars with sophisticated onboard computers.

WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents, and experts who sifted through the material said it appeared legitimate.

The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said he was very concerned about the release and had asked the intelligence community for more information about it.

Former CIA Director Mike Hayden told MSNBC he had undertaken only a cursory review of the documents, but that if they were what they were purported to be, it would amount to a “very extensive file of the tactics, techniques, procedures, targets and other political rules” under which the CIA hacks targets. “If it is that, it would be very, very damaging,” he said.

Jonathan Liu, a spokesman for the CIA, said: “We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents.” White House spokesman Sean Spicer also declined to comment.

Wildfires in 4 states kill 6, force thousands from homes

By ROXANA HEGEMAN and JIM SUHR The Associated Press

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Crews grappling with vexing wildfires that have charred hundreds of square miles of land in four states and killed six people soon may get a bit of a break: Winds are forecast to ease from the gusts that whipped the flames.

Bill Bunting, forecast operations chief for the Oklahoma-based Storm Prediction Center, said Tuesday that the powerful wind gusts that fanned the wildfires in Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas should diminish to about 10 to 20 mph on Wednesday.

He said temperatures should top in the 70s, with afternoon humidity low.

“These conditions will make it somewhat easier for firefighting efforts, but far from perfect. The fires still will be moving,” Bunting told The Associated Press. “The ideal situation is that it would turn cold and rain, and unfortunately that’s not going to happen.”

In addition to those four states, conditions were ripe for fires in Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. That followed powerful thunderstorms that moved through the middle of the country overnight, spawning dozens of suspected tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service.

Travis Pohlman checks for hot spots Monday in the trees along Dull Knife Drive in the Highlands community area north of Hutchinson, Kan. Kansas wildfires have burned about 625 square miles of land and killed one person. The Kansas Highway Patrol said Corey Holt, of Oklahoma City, died Monday when his tractor-trailer jackknifed as he tried to back up because of poor visibility on a Kansas highway, and he succumbed to smoke after getting out of his vehicle. Two SUVs crashed into the truck, injuring six people, state trooper Michael Racy said.

FREQUENT NEW ARRIVALS

Clark County, where 30 structures were damaged, said Allison Kuhns, a county emergency management office spokeswoman. About half of those structures are near Englewood, one of two communities evacuated. Kuhns said there also have been significant cattle losses as entire ranches were engulfed.

That fire started in Oklahoma, where it burned an estimated 390 square miles in Beaver County. Officials say a separate blaze scorched

more than 155 square miles of land in neighboring Harper County, Oklahoma, and was a factor in the death of a woman who had a heart attack while trying to keep her farm near Buffalo from burning.

The largest evacuations elsewhere were in Reno County, Kansas, where 10,000 to 12,000 people voluntarily left their homes Monday night, said Katie Horner, a state Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman. She said 66 people were in shelters Tuesday in Hutchinson, 40 miles northwest of Wichita.

Among them was Shelley Wilson, who fled Monday with her disabled son and pets from a blaze encircling her farm outside of Hutchinson. She returned later that night with her adult daughter to retrieve her tractor.

“I don’t know if I have a home,” Wilson said at the shelter Tuesday as her daughter did her best to lighten her mood. “In case I needed to rebuild, I wanted to at least have my tractor.”

Retiree Sheryl Stessen said she grabbed her cat and fled her apartment on the outskirts of Hutchinson when she saw the fire quickly go from a puff of smoke to a big, orange ball.

“Most of us are generally grumpy,” she said Tuesday. “I just want to go home.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump may not like the answer

All presidents enter the White House with a store of credibility that comes with the office, which they can use to press an agenda, move Washington’s policy machinery or lead the nation when crisis strikes.

President Donald Trump is burning through his with breathtaking speed. That will ultimately hurt him, the presidency and the country.

His latest rash expenditure from his already depleted trust account came in yet another Twitter outburst, in which Trump accused President Barack Obama of having his phones at Trump Tower tapped during the 2016 campaign. As is so often the case, Trump offered no substance to back up his charge, which appears to rely on a handful of news stories containing no significant evidence the former president personally ordered any wiretapping, let alone of Trump.

For some time, there have been suggestions that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which operates behind closed doors, issued a warrant allowing federal agents to examine potential contacts between Trumpworld and Russia. But The Post and others have not confirmed these reports, and none of them personally implicate Obama. Nor would they: The president cannot order wiretaps. According to U.S. officials cited by The Post and others, FBI Director James Comey has asked the Justice Department to publicly knock down Trump’s allegations.

Trump has nevertheless asked Congress to investigate his accusations. To which we say: fine, as long as doing so serves congressional investigators’ larger purpose. The intelligence community has united around the conclusion that the Russian government interfered with the country’s democratic process, and that the interference was tilted toward helping Trump. The nation must know what methods the Russians used, why they acted, to what extent any Americans wittingly or unwittingly aided them, and how to combat future intrusions.

In the process of answering these central questions, it would be only natural for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, many of whose members are committed to conducting a serious investigation, to inquire about any foreign intelligence surveillance relating to Trump and Russia, as well as the suspicions on which any warrants might have been based. As long as lawmakers see that a judge authorized any direct surveillance of Trump, his circle or his property, they can quickly discard concerns about improper wiretapping and reassure the public about federal officials’ propriety. After all, Trump asked. He may not like the answer he gets back.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Doctors must be allowed to discuss guns with patients Medical professionals have the right to protect people – that’s what a federal appeals court in Florida unanimously ruled Feb. 16 when it said doctors can’t be penalized for discussing gun safety with their patients. It was a well-deserved comeuppance for the gun lobby and its latest ploy to pit Second Amendment rights against the First Amendment.

They sought to muzzle doctors when they talked to their patients about gun safety, but the court didn’t buy the argument.

Lawmakers in Florida had passed a state law in 2011 that threatened to rescind doctors’ licenses and impose fines if they asked patients simple questions about weapons storage. But doctors, and especially pediatricians, regularly discuss safety surrounding guns, pools and other important health-related issues with their patients. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics encourages pediatricians to discuss firearm safety with their patients. One in three American

homes with children have guns, and 1.7 million kids live in homes with loaded firearms. It’s the reasonable thing to do, and absolutely in keeping with the medical profession’s mission to protect and sustain human life.

Gun accidents are a leading cause of child deaths, and when doctors make recommendations, their patients are three times more likely to safely store their guns.

Besides, any attempt to block free speech, as the Florida measure attempted to do, represents a clear violation of a doctor’s First Amendment rights. Since Florida passed its gag law, 10 other states have tried and failed to pass their own bills. Missouri in 2014 passed a bill making it more difficult for doctors to ask patients about firearm safety but falling short of an outright gag order. Gun safety groups said the law nevertheless helps stifle doctor-patient discussions about guns. A 2016 study by the Washington University School of Medicine showed that

only 13 percent of families were asked by their pediatricians about household firearms. The report’s researchers found that laws like Missouri’s and Florida’s “have likely increased physicians’ uncertainty about what they can say and their concern that discussing the topic may be received negatively.”

Almost three-quarters of gun-owning parents surveyed by the Washington University researchers said they want their kids’ physicians to advise them about household gun safety.

The National Rifle Association suggests such doctor-patient discussions impinge on gun owners’ privacy, which is absurd.

Every patient has a right to tell the doctor to mind his or her own business. But the conversation could cause gun owners to think twice before carelessly leaving a gun where a child could access it.

If it’s a question between privacy and saving lives, the latter priority should prevail every time.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

VIEWS Scott Reeder district I live in near Springfield has a limited curriculum. My neighbors tell me youngsters wanting to get into competitive math and science curriculums at top universities are often left disappointed.

Fortunately, my family can afford to send our daughters to a Catholic school in Springfield that offers a more demanding curriculum.

But many folks, whether they live in inner cities or rural areas, just don’t have that option.

They lack the money to choose, so their kids are just stuck.

Don’t get me wrong, Illinois has some excellent public schools. I attended public schools and universities from kindergarten through

graduate school. For the most part, my experiences were good. But like most students, I had some excellent teachers and I had some weaker ones.

DeVos has advocated for voucher programs where money follows the student.

In other words, vouchers could be issued to parents and they could choose where their youngsters learn. They could choose between private, religious, public, online, charter or home schooling options.

It seems a fair solution.

I’ve yet to meet a parent who wants to see their child fail.

But teacher unions oppose this idea. They fear it will result in less money going to public schools.

That could happen, but only if public schools fail to compete.

Most folks are quite happy with the public schools their children are attending.

But not all are.

For example, a 2004 Fordham Institute study found that 39 percent of public school teachers in Chicago send their own children to private schools. That’s compared with a national average of 12 percent of all children who are educated privately.

Think about that.

Four out of 10 Chicago teachers are willing to pay money to keep their kids from attending the schools where they teach.

That speaks volumes.

Those teachers have school choice because they can afford it.

Why shouldn’t all families be afforded the same opportunity?

Drug deaths in West Virginia overwhelm burial program

By CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM The Washington Post

Deaths in West Virginia have overwhelmed a state program providing burial assistance for needy families for at least the fifth year in a row, causing the program to be nearly out of money four months before the end of the fiscal year, according to the state’s Department of Health and Human Resources.

Funeral directors in West Virginia say the state’s drug overdose epidemic, the worst in the nation, is partly to blame.

West Virginia’s indigent burial program, which budgets about $2 million a year for funeral financial assistance, already had been under pressure from the aging of the baby-boom generation.

The program offers an average of $1,250 to help cover funeral expenses for families who can’t otherwise afford them.

In the current fiscal year ending June 30, “1,508 burials have been submitted for payment through the Indigent Burial Program,” said to Allison Adler, a spokesman for state DHHR Secretary Bill Crouch. “There are funds remaining for 63 additional burials.”

The program has been around for decades, according to Adler, but only began running out of funds starting in 2013.

In 2014, the program ran out of money in June. By 2015, the program’s

“When you get an overdose, typically it’s going to be a younger individual who’s not financially in a great position.

I’ve heard from several funeral directors that the majority of [overdose deaths they deal with] are addressed via the indigent burial program.”

Robert C. Kimes West Virginia Funeral Directors Association

budget was depleted by March, similar to where it stands this year.

Adler didn’t respond to a question on the role drug overdoses have played in the program running out of money.

But funeral directors such as Robert C. Kimes of the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association blame skyrocketing overdose deaths for the current troubles.

In 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, West Virginia’s drug overdose death rate stood at 41.5 cases per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the country and nearly three times the national average.

In 1999, the state’s overdose fatality rate was below average.

Nationally, drug overdose deaths accounted for fewer than two out of every 100 fatalities in 2015. But in West Virginia, overdoses claim more than

three out of every 100 fatalities.

And among certain demographic groups, the likelihood of overdose is much higher: roughly 8 percent of all fatalities among white men age 35 to 64, for instance, and more than 28 percent of deaths among white males age 15 to 34.

The state’s funeral directors are on the front lines of this trend.

“When you get an overdose, typically it’s going to be a younger individual who’s not financially in a great position,” Kimes said. “I’ve heard from several funeral directors that the majority of [overdose deaths they deal with] are addressed via the indigent burial program.”

West Virginia is somewhat unique in providing a state-level program for indigent burials, Kimes said.

The majority of states don’t provide such services at the state level, and most of the ones that do limit them to

recipients of Medicaid, SNAP or other social programs for the poor.

In many states, funeral assistance is left to the discretion of individual counties or cities.

West Virginia expects a half-billion-dollar budget shortfall in the next fiscal year, making relief from the state unlikely. Social service agencies report being overwhelmed by the number of overdose and addiction cases.

In the city of Huntington (population 49,000), for instance, authorities responded to 26 heroin overdose cases in one four-hour span last year.

A Charleston Gazette-Mail investigation last year found that between 2007 and 2012, as the state’s drug overdose epidemic skyrocketed, drug wholesalers shipped more than 780 million doses of opiate painkillers hydrocodone and oxycodone to the state, or roughly “433 pain pills for every man, woman and child in West Virginia.”

Those two drugs killed more than 1,700 West Virginians during that time period, the investigation found.

“That’s not the kind of business you want” as a funeral director, Kimes said. “You hate to see a young person’s life thrown away.”

SPRINGFIELD – The subject of school choice has come to the forefront in recent weeks with the appointment of Betsy DeVos as the U.S. Education Secretary.

When folks debate the merits of school choice, I can’t help but smile.

The fact of the matter is we already have school choice in America.

Bureaucrats sit in school administration buildings and draw lines on maps to determine where your child will go to school in a particular school district. They choose.

You don’t. And school district boundaries drawn before students – and most of their teachers – were born, play an even bigger role in determining what services will be available for students.

The caliber of education a child receives should not be determined by a family’s zip code.

For example, the rural school

U.S. trade deficit jumps to 5-year high “With the headwind from the dollar’s prior appreciation having eased and global growth picking up quite sharply, the outlook for exports is better now than it has been in some time.”

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit jumped in January to the highest level in nearly five years as a flood of mobile phones and other consumer products widened America’s trade gap with China. The result underscores the challenges facing President Donald Trump in fulfilling a campaign pledge to reduce America’s trade deficits.

The deficit in January rose 9.6 percent to $48.5 billion, up from a December deficit of $44.3 billion, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

It was the largest monthly gap since a deficit of $50.2 billion in March 2012.

U.S. exports edged up a slight 0.6 percent to $192.1 billion, helped by stronger auto sales. But that was swamped by a 2.3 percent surge in imports to $240.6 billion, led by mobile phones, oil and foreign-made cars.

During the campaign, Trump pledged to attack America’s persistent trade deficits, which he blamed for the loss of millions of good-paying factory jobs. He has threatened to slap punitive tariffs on imports from China, Mexico and other nations he has accused of trading unfairly. But economists worry that Trump’s tough talk could spark all-out trade wars in which foreign nations retaliate by boosting their tariffs on American goods.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, a longtime critic of China’s trade practices, told an economists’

The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin is towed to Seattle’s Terminal 18 on Feb. 29, 2016. The vessel is 1,300 feet long, 177 feet wide, 197 feet high and can carry up to 18,000 containers. On Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported on the U.S. trade deficit for January. group on Monday that reducing America’s trade deficits would deliver stronger economic growth and improve national security.

For January, the U.S. deficit with China increased 12.8 percent to $31.3 billion, the highest level since September. The figure reflects a big rise in imports of mobile phones, clothing, televisions, toys and games.

American exporters have struggled over the past two years as a rising dollar has made their goods more expen-

sive and therefore less competitive in overseas markets.

Economists believe that if the dollar stabilizes this year, export growth should rebound, reflecting in part stronger economic growth in many of America’s major export markets.

Andrew Hunter, U.S. economist for Capital Economics, said the big increase in the deficit in January likely signals that trade will drag overall growth in the first quarter. But he said the impact wouldn’t be as severe as in

the fourth quarter, when trade trimmed growth by 1.7 percentage points.

And brighter days may be ahead.

“With the headwind from the dollar’s prior appreciation having eased and global growth picking up quite sharply, the outlook for exports is better now than it has been in some time,” Hunter said.

The trade deficit is the difference between imports and exports. A rising deficit is a drag on overall economic growth because it means more products are being produced for domestic consumption from overseas.

The trade deficit is expected to trim overall economic growth by around one-half percentage point this year.

Many economists are looking for the U.S. economy to grow between 2 percent to 2.5 percent in 2017, up from anemic 1.6 percent growth in 2016.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2017

NEW YORK – “La La Land” director Damien Chazelle may have just finished one Oscar season, but he appears headed for another.

Universal Pictures on Tuesday dated Chazelle’s “First Man,” starring Ryan Gosling as astronaut Neil Armstrong, for Oct. 12, 2018. The release date will return Chazelle to the heart of awards season with the follow-up to his musical sensation.

“First Man” focuses on Armstrong in the years 1961-1969 and follows NASA’s race to land a man on the moon. The script, based on James R. Hansen’s book, is written by “Spotlight” scribe Josh Singer.

Hollywood film on couple who saved Jews premiering in Poland WARSAW, Poland – Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain and the female director of her new movie are celebrating both the strength and the tenderness of women.

Chastain, director Niki Caro and other actors were in Warsaw on Tuesday for a gala screening of the movie “The Zookeeper’s Wife.”

It tells the real-life story of the former director of the Warsaw zoo, Jan Zabinski, and of his wife, Antonina, who jointly saved up to 300 Jews by hiding them in their home on zoo grounds and in animal enclosures during World War II. Shot in Prague, Czech Republic, the movie opens in theaters March 31. It is based on a 2007 book by American author Diane Ackerman that revealed the story to the world.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Chastain, who plays Antonina Zabinska, told a news conference she felt “so inspired” by the story of human kindness “that we need so much today.”

She said it was exciting to play how Antonina, initially unsure of herself, “is left alone at the house and given all this responsibility for caring for all these people and to protect them she grows into herself.” By the end of the movie, she is an equal with her husband.

The nicest part, however, was working with the animals, Chastain said, recalling a “little game with apples” she played with a female elephant.

“I would hide the apples round the set and she, with the trunk, would come over and try to find the apples on me,” Chastain said. “That was the best part, playing the games with the animals.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and Maren Morris will perform at the 52nd annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 2.

The first round of performers was announced Tuesday. The show will also feature a performance by pop group the Backstreet Boys and Florida Georgia Line. It will be the first time that the Backstreet Boys have appeared on the country awards show.

Florida Georgia Line and the Backstreet Boys collaborated on Florida Georgia Line’s “God, Your Mama, and Me.” They will also perform together at three stadium tour dates this summer in Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis.

The show, which will air live on CBS from the T-Mobile Arena, will be co-hosted by Bentley and Bryan.

Baldwin: Impression unlikely at Correspondents dinner

LOS ANGELES –Alec Baldwin doesn’t expect to take his impression of President Trump from “Saturday Night Live” to the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner next month.

Trump announced on Twitter last month that he wouldn’t be attending the fundraiser for college scholarships and venue

for reporting awards, and a host hasn’t yet been named. That’s led to speculation that Baldwin could host the April 29 event in character – but the 58-year-old actor doesn’t see it happening.

“I think the White House Correspondents’ people will probably not ask me to do Trump if I had to bet,” he told The Associated Press on Monday. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they determined that me doing that there is not in their interests. Maybe him not coming – if he doesn’t come – the idea is let’s send him up, but let’s not send him up in effigy and have some impostor come.”

WHCA President Jeff Mason said Tuesday that the organization had no comment on Baldwin’s remarks and no update on who might host the dinner.

New help for blurry, close-up vision

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Squinting while texting? Always losing your reading glasses? An eye implant that takes about 10 minutes to put in place is the newest in a list of surgical repairs for the blurry close-up vision that is a bane of middle age. But who’s really a good candidate to toss their specs?

“It’s not bringing anybody back to being 20 again,” cautioned Dr. Shilpa Rose, a Washington ophthalmologist who tests whether patients’ eyes are healthy enough to qualify. “But it decreases the need to rush to get that pair of reading glasses every time you want to send a text or read an email.”

Nearly everybody will experience presbyopia at some point, usually starting in the mid-40s. At first you may notice yourself holding restaurant menus at arm’s length. Eventually, even in good light, reading becomes a blur.

How well you see has to do with how light is directed through the natural lens to the back of the eye. That lens stiffens with age, losing its ability to shift and bend light so it becomes more difficult to focus close-up.

The usual options are magnifying drugstore reading glasses or, for people with other vision problems, bifocals, multifocal contact lenses or what’s called monovision, correcting for distance vision in one eye and near vision in the other.

“I have glasses everywhere – the bedroom, the office, the kitchen,” said Christianne Krupinsky, 51, of Marriottsville, Maryland, who’d never needed them until presbyopia struck.

“Getting ready in the morning, even to put on jewelry I can’t see the clasp. It’s so frustrating.”

And while surgery always carries some risk, corneal inlays that are implanted into the eye’s clear front surface are getting attention because they’re removable if necessary.

“It’s not magic. It’s surgery. People have to remember this is not one and done,” but requires post-surgical exams and care, said Dr. Deepinder K. Dhaliwal of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a corneal specialist who is watching studies of the inlays.

Krupinsky was a little nervous while lying on the operating table to receive the new Raindrop near vision inlay.

“The most you’re going to feel is pressure,” promised Washington

Dr. Mark Whitten performs a short eye surgery procedure on patient Christianne Krupinsky in Washington, to insert a Raindrop inlay, a disc implanted in the cornea to reshape it for better close-up focus. This new kind of eye implant corrects presbyopia, the need for reading glasses that eventually hits all of us, usually starting in the 40s. refractive surgeon Dr. Mark Whitten, applying numbing drops to her left eye.

A gel-like device that looks like a miniature contact lens, the Raindrop is smaller than the eye of a needle. It’s the first implant to treat presbyopia by changing the cornea’s shape, making it steeper to alter how light passes through.

It’s placed in only one eye; both eyes still see at a distance. Patients can test-wear a single contact lens to be sure they’ll like the effect before choosing surgery.

Rose, the ophthalmologist, checked for dry eye, underlying diseases such as glaucoma, and whether the corneas were thick and healthy enough to implant before turning Krupinsky over to her surgical partner.

“Just look straight up,” Whitten said as he used a laser to slice a flap in Krupinsky’s cornea. He centered the Raindrop inlay over her pupil and lowered the flap to seal it in place.

Minutes later, Krupinsky read lines on an eye chart she previously couldn’t make out without glasses,

albeit still a little blurry. She’ll need eye drops for several months as her cornea heals so vision can sharpen.

Maker ReVision Optics Inc. gradually is training eye surgeons to use the Raindrop properly, after the Food and Drug Administration approved it last summer based on a study of 373 people whose only vision problem was moderate presbyopia. Two years later, 92 percent had good near vision, 20/40 or better without glasses, in the implanted eye.

Potential side effects include infection, dry eye, glare or corneal problems such as scarring. About 7 percent of study participants had the implant removed, mostly because they weren’t satisfied with their vision or experienced a haze or clouding of the cornea. Most returned to their pre-surgical vision, although one had lingering haze.

Other surgical options: • Another FDA-approved corneal inlay, the Kamra, is a doughnut-shaped device, also used in one eye and removable. It works like a pinhole camera, improving vision by

focusing light through the center of the pupil.

• A more invasive operation replaces the natural lens in each eye with an artificial one, named Symfony, that can focus both near and far. Approved for cataract surgery, it also is being offered as a presbyopia fix for the middle-aged who don’t yet have cataracts.

Unlike inlays, artificial lenses can’t simply be removed.

Insurance doesn’t cover elective presbyopia surgery. Rose said the inlays average about $4,000 to $5,000, while the artificial lens in both eyes can cost twice as much.

Patients should consult a surgeon experienced with all the options who can determine which best suits their eyes, advised Pittsburgh’s Dhaliwal.

Each has pros, cons and unknowns.

For example, elective lens replacement isn’t for the very nearsighted because they’re at higher risk for a vision-threatening complication, Dhaliwal said. And the Raindrop hasn’t been studied in people who years ago underwent LASIK surgery to correct nearsightedness.

The key new findings

The Associated Press

• Testosterone had no effect on memory or mental function, based on tests given before, halfway and at the end of treatment to nearly 500 men with age-related memory decline.

• Among almost 140 men who underwent heart artery imaging tests to see if the hormone slowed progression of plaque, those who used testosterone had more plaque buildup and narrower arteries after a year than the fake gel group. Those changes could signal increased chances for heart attacks although none occurred in the study. Men in this sub-study were already more vulnerable for heart problems because of conditions including artery disease, obesity and high blood pressure.

• Among about 200 men given bone imaging tests before and at the end of treatment, those on testosterone showed increases in bone density and strength, especially in the spine, while minimal changes were found in the group that used fake gel. The improvement was similar to bone changes seen with treatment for osteoporosis, although most men studied did not have that bone-thinning condition, which can lead to fractures.

• Among 126 men with anemia, a fatigue-linked condition involving inadequate red blood cells, those on testosterone showed substantial improvement. By the study’s end, anemia had vanished in almost 60 percent of men on testosterone compared with 22 percent of the fake gel group. The hormone group also reported having more energy. “The overall health benefits, however, remain to be determined,” the researchers said. daily for a year could treat problems linked with low levels of the male hormone, which declines with age. Half the men in each group used the real thing and half used fake gel.

Results published a year ago from the same research linked testosterone with mostly modest improvement in sexual performance, walking strength and mood.

levels of testosterone, said study leader Dr. Peter Snyder, a University of Pennsylvania hormone specialist. It’s also not known whether other forms of testosterone supplements would have similar effects in older men with low levels.

Prescription testosterone products including gel are approved only for men with low levels of the hormones caused by various medical conditions.

Benefits and risks are unknown in men whose levels are low due only to aging, the FDA says. The agency requires testosterone labels to include possible risks for heart attacks and strokes, based on some previous studies.

A separate study published last week in JAMA Internal Medicine found that men using prescription testosterone gel, patches or injections had fewer heart attacks and strokes during about three years of follow-up than non-users. But this was only observational data in men ages 40 and older, not rigorous research testing the hormone against a placebo.

Clarifying testosterone’s effects on heart problems, fractures and age-related disability will require larger, longer studies, said Dr. Evan Hadley of the National Institute on Aging.

CHICAGO – Testosterone treatment did not improve older men’s memory or mental function in the latest results from landmark government research that challenges the anti-aging claims of popular supplements.

While testosterone use for one year appeared to strengthen bones and reduce anemia, it also showed signs of worsening artery disease, and questions remain about other potential risks. The researchers said more studies are needed to determine longterm effects – the kind of research the U.S. Food and Drug Administration already has asked supplement makers to conduct.

“I don’t think anybody would interpret these results as saying, ‘Wow, this is a fountain of youth, this is a magical anti-aging potion,’ ” said study co-author Susan Ellenberg, a University of Pennsylvania researcher.

The results are from the final four studies in a seven-part project mostly funded by the National Institute on Aging, involving nearly 800 U.S. men ages 65 and older with low testosterone levels. The goal was to see whether rubbing testosterone gel on the skin

Natural remedies available for pain Dear Doctor: Are there natural remedies for arthritis? Exercises that could help? My pain is in the upper arms and shoulders.

Dear Reader: Osteoarthritis, the kind that you’re describing, is caused by degeneration of the cartilage within a joint. Without the cartilage, one bone rubs upon the other, leading to pain and degeneration of the bone.

Doctors typically recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin; acetaminophen; and, more rarely, opiates. But NSAIDs can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and kidney problems when used chronically; acetaminophen at high doses can cause liver problems when used chronically; and opiate medications can lead to addiction. So I can understand your desire to look for an alternative for the pain.

The supplements chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine have been used for osteoarthritis for years. Chondroitin is one of the building blocks of cartilage in our body, so many people naturally believe that taking chondroitin can decrease the pain of arthritis.

A 2015 review of 43 randomized trials compared the use of chondroitin alone or in combination with glucosamine against the use of a placebo. Most of these studies looked at treatment for arthritis of the knees, with some looking at arthritis of the hips and hands. The studies measured pain on a 100-point scale. The use of chondroitin was found to be beneficial, whether with or without glucosamine, showing a small 8-point difference in pain compared with placebo. It didn’t ease the stiffness and lack of mobility associated with arthritis, however.

In another study, a randomized trial of 606 patients with pain from osteoarthritis of the knee compared the use of glucosamine with chondroitin against the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (Celebrex). After six months, both groups found a greater than 50 percent

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley reduction in both pain and joint swelling.

What was interesting about the study was that it took a while for the glucosamine/ chondroitin to work. At one to four months, Celebrex was much better at improving pain, but at six months it was no different than the glucosamine/chondroitin combination. So with the use of glucosamine and chondroitin, it is important to be patient.

The supplements MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) are anti-inflammatory agents that have been studied in arthritis of the knees without evidence of benefit, but it’s possible they could decrease pain in the joints of the hands.

Arnica montana is a plant-based therapy that has some potential in topical use for pain relief, with one study finding a slight benefit for arthritis of the hands. Topical use of capsaicin cream, made from chili peppers, has shown potential as well, specifically for arthritis of the knee. Other natural remedies and supplements, such as fish oil, are touted for arthritis, but their use has not been well studied.

As for exercises, I would recommend physical therapy to increase your range of motion for your shoulder and to help increase your muscular strength. Yoga, Pilates and tai chi can also be beneficial, potentially increasing your range of motion without undue stress on your already aching joints. Over time, you may well see a difference in your ability to function with less pain.

your husband are having a communication problem. Instead of raising the subject of divorce with him, it may be time for you to get marriage counseling, alone if he won’t go with you.

Your husband should be able to talk to his friends – male and female – if he wishes. For you to tell him otherwise makes you look more like his jailer than his wife. Some mediation may help you feel less threatened and help you both to get back on the same page.

Dear Abby: I am a 39-year-old female who hasn’t been able to conceive. My sister has two children and one on the way. I love being an aunt, but I do want to be a mom myself. I’m recently divorced and have a nice home, a dependable vehicle and a job that I love. The only thing missing in my life is a child.

I have the opportunity to adopt a newborn baby from a family who is unable to care for her. She will be born in the next few months.

When I speak to my friends and family about it, even though they would love for me to have a child, they say they don’t think this is the right path for me. Although I want a child and always have, I’m now having concerns about it, too. Any advice you could share would be greatly appreciated. – Motherly Instinct in Georgia Dear Instinct: I wish you had been clearer about why your family doesn’t feel that adopting the baby would be the right path for you.

However, since you weren’t, let me offer this: Many single parents – whether single because of divorce, widowhood or by choice – successfully raise children. At 39, with a home and a good job, you appear to be financially secure enough to provide for a child. Unless you have an emotional problem you didn’t mention, or lack the patience to be a good mother, I see no reason why you shouldn’t become one.

However, because your friends and family have created doubt, discuss this with a counselor to clarify your thinking.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY read your column all the time.

Jeanne My husband Phillips and I have been married for 35 years. My husband has good friends who are women, and I have never objected when he stayed with them when he traveled from our home to Michigan.

One of the women he stays with called and they talked for hours. That’s not right is it? My husband says she’s just a good friend and it’s only conversation.

Like I said, I didn’t mind him staying with her because I trusted him. But now I’m leery and suspicious. I don’t believe it’s a sexual thing, but a long conversation hurts me more because I thought I was his best friend.

I told him, “Let’s get counseling. If it doesn’t work, we can divorce.” He said, “You’re not going to stop me from talking to my friends.”

Abby, I need your opinion. – Leery in Flor-

What to watch NBA: Bulls at Orlando, 6 p.m., CSN The Bulls won the first two meetings with the Magic this season.

Two years ago, an impressive summer had Blaine Borhart poised to contribute at the varsity level a year ahead of schedule.

Then came a setback for Marengo’s then-sophomore: an injury on the football field.

“I hyperextended my knee and chipped all three bones in my leg near my knee,” Borhart said.

Borhart hadn’t played football before sophomore year and hasn’t played it since. He missed the beginning of the basketball season and said he didn’t feel comfortable with the varsity game until January or February last year.

Regardless, the Indians’ point guard is comfortable now.

• Winner advances to the NIU Supersectional year, he’s gone from a first-year starting point guard to a kid who has really commanded the floor,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said. “He’s started to knock down some shots, has started to create his own shots.”

At halftime of Marengo’s regional championship victory over Richmond-Burton on Friday, it was the junior Borhart with a team-leading nine

points at halftime, not leading scorer Mike Volkening. Borhart finished the game with 16 points.

He will run the point Wednesday in the Class 3A Genoa-Kingston Sectional semifinals when Marengo takes on Glenbard South.

“We think it’s a winnable sectional,” Borhart said. “We know what we’ve got to do, and we’re excited for the opportunity to go out and get to a sectional title game.”

Despite the injury as a sophomore, by the end of the season Borhart was Wright’s first or second option off the bench. Since then, he has continued to develop his vision on the court. “[He understands] the time and score and situation,” Wright said.

“Also just commanding the offense. He knows we want to look for Mike. He knows the things that we’re looking for off of every offensive set that we run.”

for the Jacobs Regional title. “We know we have to prepare for the next game the way we prepared for this one. We did a really good job. We just have to keep it up.”

Jacobs set the school record for wins in Friday’s game. Now, the Eagles crave bringing home their school’s first boys basketball sectional championship.

“Our goal is to be the best team ever at Jacobs,” point guard Nik Balkcom said. “We can do a lot. We’re going to come out and be prepared again, and keep going with this momentum.”

Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said he thinks the exposure to the sectional

atmosphere last year will be beneficial.

Auburn won two more games after beating Jacobs and finished fourth in the Class 4A. “We have a little more confidence,” Roberts said. “They wanted it pretty bad last year. Do they want it bad now? Yeah.”

Balkcom has been strong running the offense and defending. Schwartz, Ryan Phillips and Mason Materna all are threats from behind the 3-point arc if defenses pay too much attention to Krutwig.

“We have Cam again, a bunch of seniors on the team last year, and me and Ryan,” Balkcom said. “It will really help us. Those nerves we had last year won’t be there as much this year. It’s going to be good.”

Marengo guard Mike Volkening, who averages 25.5 points and 7.5 rebounds a game, played an integral role two years ago when the Indians lost to Lutheran, 6958, in the Rochelle Sectional championship. The Indians graduated their career scoring leader Zach Knobloch, among others, but have done well with Volkening, who is equally effective shooting from deep or driving, as the main scorer.

“This is a group that wasn’t really expected to be where we’re at and the season has come along to a lot of people’s surprise,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said.

Although Glenbard South’s .500 record hardly sparkles, the Raiders’ 69-59 OT victory over Burlington Central on Friday in the Marmion Regional final certainly did. Burlington was 26-3 and defeated Marengo, 63-43, on Feb. 15.

“They’re a .500 team, but they play in a tough (Metro Suburban) conference,” Wright said. “They just beat our (Kishwaukee River) conference champion. You’re not a slouch if you can beat a 26-3 team.”

The Raiders rely a lot on 6-5 Charlie Bair, who Wright said is an athletic player who also can hit 3s. Wright said he thinks some regional upsets makes the sectional less predictable.

“Everybody was looking at Rochelle and Burlington (both of whom lost),” Wright said. “You’re going to see some good basketball over there with the idea that everybody knows it’s kind of wide open. Any one of the four teams can come out and win it.”

fidence has grown this season. After losing key seniors off last year’s team, the Indians needed new faces to step up this year.

Wright said his team has been loose in practice this week after the regional win over R-B. A sectional title would be the Indians’ first since 1998. They last reached a sectional final in 2015, when they lost to Rockford Lutheran.

“The greatest part of this run and the potential run that we could have is the great history that’s in Marengo basketball,” Borhart said. “My dad played Marengo basketball. A few other guys, their dads have played Marengo basketball. It really means a lot to not only us, but also our parents and grandparents. Making history for the school would be great.”

Jacobs was able to take something from last year’s Class 4A Rock Valley Sectional boys basketball tournament other than the disappointment of a 5839 loss to Rockford Auburn.

The Golden Eagles played Auburn tough for one half, but wilted under the Knights’ terrific full-court pressure in the second.

Still, Jacobs knew that experience should only help in the future, and that its chances of getting back to a sectional this season would be excellent.

The Eagles (28-1) get their shot with Hononegah (23-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Elgin Sectional at Chesbrough Field House.

In the Class 3A Genoa-Kingston Sectional, Marengo (23-7) will meet Glenbard South (14-14) at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Marengo advanced to a sectional championship game two years ago, when it lost to Rockford Lutheran.

The biggest reason Jacobs had a chance to return is 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig, the NCAA Division I Loyola signee who is playing on his third regional champion. Krutwig has had plenty of help from a group that returned two other starters and two top reserves from last season.

“We want to be the best team in Jacobs’ history,” Krutwig said. “We said it at the beginning of the year, and now we have a chance to be great. I’ve been to Elgin once before in the postseason (as a freshman) and lost.”

Krutwig’s presence inside with scoring, rebounding and defending ignites everything for the Eagles, who have won 13 consecutive games. But they have several other players capable of scoring and consider defense the staple of their game.

“We have a lot of returning guys,” guard Cooper Schwartz said after Friday’s 55-39 win over St. Charles North

4 WOODSTOCK GIRLS BASKETBALL

Spokas to row at Eastern Michigan Athletic career changing course for novice rower

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com When the coaching staff of Eastern Michigan’s women’s rowing team contacted Diana Spokas by email last March, the Woodstock girls basketball player was confident it was a misunderstanding.

Spokas set up an online recruiting profile with the help of her AAU Chicago Vizion travel team, hoping to catch the eyes of potential basketball coaches and scouts. Instead, she received an email of interest from a coach of a sport she knew nothing about.

Curious, she responded.

“Honestly, I replied back and asked if they had the right person,” Spokas said. “I was like, ‘Are you sure? I’ve never rowed a day in my life. You’re basically offering me money for something I’ve never done before.’ ... I was like, ‘Sure. I love trying new things.’ ” Spokas learned quickly it was not a joke. She was invited to and attended a summer camp in Ypsilanti, Michigan, learning the basics of rowing with other first-timers. She first practiced on rowing machines, then into the water on eight-man boats with buoys on each side to prevent tipping over.

In October, Spokas went on an official visit to meet the team and coaching staff. Then, in early December, the 6-foot senior committed to the Division-I Eagles and coach Kemp Savage.

Women’s rowing is an equivalency sport, and Spokas is receiving a partial

Spokas will join the rowing team at Eastern Michigan University in the fall. scholarship. She is planning to enroll in the school’s pre-med program with a minor in criminology.

“The entire team felt like a family,” said Spokas, who had interest from a couple of D-III schools for basketball.

“They took me in right away. They were like, ‘We all haven’t rowed before, and we’re winning championships together and stuff.’ It’s crazy to think where you can start from.”

Upon receiving Savage’s email, Spokas said she immediately texted her mom, Ingrida, that she had just received a D-I offer – not for basketball but for rowing. Ingrida thought it was a mistake.

“She thought it was spam,” Spokas

said, laughing. “But I just replied to it, and it was definitely worth it.”

Spokas said the coaches at Eastern Michigan loved her height, size and athleticism and felt she was a natural fit for rowing. She also played volleyball at Woodstock as a sophomore and junior, and ran track and field as a freshman. Spokas played basketball all four years, three on varsity.

“I really like the outdoor aspect of it,” Spokas said. “All of the other sports I’ve ever played have been indoors. I’ve always been a very outdoorsy person, and everything at the campus is really pretty.

“But it was really the team aspect of the sport, and the teammates that I liked

most about it. The coaches, they took us out to breakfast and told us all these funny stories, and made it feel right.”

Spokas wasn’t entirely set on Eastern Michigan until after her official visit. She was close to playing basketball at D-III North Park University in Chicago, but her positive experiences at Eastern Michigan were enough to sway her decision to try something both “new and fun.”

Spokas said strength is one of the most important attributes in a rower, so her focus over the next few months will be on building lower-body strength. She also soon will start a conditioning program.

“I’m going down there in August, and I’m just looking forward to the new experience,” Spokas said. “I’m also excited for all the support I have. I have people telling me, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re going to go visit and watch you out there rowing.’ That’s going to be my favorite part, when it comes to all of the traveling and stuff.”

Spokas enjoyed one of her better basketball seasons with Woodstock this past season, helping to lead the Blue Streaks to third place in the Kishwaukee River Conference. She now jokes that rowing made her a better basketball player.

“It actually took a lot of pressure off me,” she said. “I remember junior year, I was so focused on playing basketball at the next level. I needed all of my stats to be really high, and it turned out to be my worst basketball season.

“But this year, going into the season knowing I’m going to be a rower, it was actually my best season of my career.

Sometimes I’m like, [dang], maybe I should have stayed in basketball.”

In reality, Spokas is excited for the next chapter of her sports career. And it all started with a simple reply.

PREP WRESTLING

Transgender boy with girls wrestling title: ‘I don’t cheat’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS – A transgender boy who won a girls wrestling state title in Texas said he would compete against boys if allowed and is taking lower doses of testosterone to try to be fair to his opponents.

Mack Beggs said in an interview that aired Sunday on ESPN that he competes against girls only because the state’s governing body for public high school sports requires him to wrestle under the gender listed on his birth certificate.

Asked whether he was taking the

amount of testosterone he wanted while transitioning to male, Beggs said he was “holding back because of wrestling.”

“I want to do it fairly,” he said. “I don’t want to cheat. That’s not something I do. I don’t cheat.”

The 17-year-old Beggs won the 110-pound girls title as a junior at Euless Trinity High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He could face a legal challenge during his senior wrestling season.

University Interscholastic League rules allow Beggs to compete while taking testosterone, but school super-

intendents and athletic directors voted overwhelmingly last year on the gender requirement.

“We asked them, ‘Is it OK if this transgender, this trans male were to take testosterone while transitioning,’ and that’s what we got, ‘They can take it, but they can only compete on what’s on their birth certificate,’ ” Beggs said. “That’s when we were like, ‘Well, then, there goes us asking if I can compete on the males.’”

Jim Baudhuin, an attorney and Dallas-area wrestling parent, has filed a lawsuit seeking to keep Beggs from com-

peting against girls. The lawsuit mostly takes aim at the UIL for allowing Beggs to face girls while on testosterone.

After the lawsuit was filed, two girls forfeited their matches against Beggs at the regional tournament leading into the state meet. All four opponents wrestled Beggs at state, but some parents complained that it wasn’t fair.

There were some boos in the crowd after Beggs won the state title.

Beggs said the girls who forfeited at regionals were forced into that decision by their parents.

Home-court advantage? Quite possibly.

“Especially since the rest of us are coming so far,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said of Maryland’s advantage. “It’s pretty exciting for them, and maybe incentive for their fans and them to get to the semifinals and finals, no question about it.”

Purdue, the regular-season champion, has won eight of nine. The Boilermakers, along with Wisconsin, Maryland and Minnesota, have double-byes before starting play. The tournament gets underway Wednesday afternoon with 12th-seed Nebraska facing No. 13 Penn State, followed

by 11th-seeded Ohio State taking on No. 14 Rutgers.

Parity prevails: Purdue (14-4 in conference play) is the obvious favorite, but eight teams won at least 10 Big Ten games. “Crazy things happen in the tournament,” Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said. “Anybody can beat anybody.”

True enough.

Michigan beat Purdue by 12 on Feb. 25, Maryland lost to Nebraska and Penn State, and Wisconsin dropped three in a row before hammering Minnesota on Sunday. “The tournament is wide open,” Izzo said, “more so than it’s ever been.”

AP ALL-BIG TEN CONFERENCE TEAM

Purdue’s Swanigan, Gophers’ Pitino top honorees

By ERIC OLSON

The Associated Press Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan is The Associated Press player of the year in the Big Ten Conference, and Minnesota’s Richard Pitino is its coach of the year.

Swanigan was a unanimous pick for both player of the year and the AP allBig Ten team, also announced Tuesday, in voting by 13 journalists covering the conference.

Michigan State freshman Miles Bridges was the choice of all voters for

newcomer of the year.

Joining Swanigan on the all-conference first team are Minnesota’s Nate Mason, Maryland’s Melo Trimble, Iowa’s Peter Jok and Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ. Jok and Trimble were second-team picks in 2016.

Caleb Swanigan is second Swanigan in the conference in scoring (18.7 points a game) and first in rebounding (12.6 a game), and he leads the country with 25 double-doubles.

The 6-foot-9, 250-pound sophomore forward posted four 20-20 games for the Boilermakers, who won their first outright Big Ten regular-season championship since 1996.

Bridges, one of the nation’s most celebratRichard Pitino ed recruits last year, overcame an ankle injury early in the season to lead the Spartans with 16.6 points and 8.3 points a game.

Bridges is joined on the second

team by Michigan’s Derrick Walton Jr., Northwestern’s Bryant McIntosh, Illinois’ Malcolm Hill and Minnesota’s Jordan Murphy. Hill also was on the second team last year.

Under Pitino, Minnesota has flipped its record from 8-23 to 23-8, the biggest turnaround in the nation.

With one of the youngest rosters in Division I, the Gophers went from 13th in the Big Ten, at 2-16, to fourth, at 11-7. The Gophers’ conference finish was their highest in 12 years, and their 11 league wins were their most since 1989-90.

• Wednesday, March 8, 2017

WASHINGTON – As part of an ongoing effort to broaden its scope, the Big Ten will converge a few blocks from the White House this week to crown a new basketball champion.

Long a fixture in the Midwest, the Big Ten tournament will be in the nation’s capital for the first time.

“It’s going to be some big-time basketball,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. “We’re just glad we get to do it in our backyard, which should be fun.”

By adding Maryland and Rutgers to the conference in 2014, the Big Ten formally extended its footprint to the East Coast. This year’s tournament, which runs from Wednesday to Sunday, will be at Verizon Center. Next year’s tourney will be at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“It really is an example of a traditional conference that continues to change,” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in October, when all 14 teams gathered in Washington for Media Day. “Our actions are aligned with our plans. This is a very important part of the country for us.”

Maryland, Rutgers and Penn State (which joined in 1990) will have the luxury of traveling to the tournament by bus.

“We’re excited about not having to get on a plane,” Turgeon said. “It’s great for our fans.”

Third-seed Maryland doesn’t play until Friday night. The Terrapins already have sold their entire allotment of tickets, and the local contingent could increase over the weekend.

“Terp fans have been trying to

tournament title. Last-place Rutgers is the long shot, but at least the Scarlet Knights are coming off a victory against Illinois. “It was a win that was desperately needed,” coach Steve Pikiell said. “We can get down there with a little bit of a positive vibe.”

Penn State and Nebraska have little reason to be upbeat. The Nittany Lions have dropped five straight, and the Cornhuskers have lost their past four.

On Wisconsin: The Badgers secured the No. 2 seed by getting back on track against Minnesota. “It’s a credit to our guys not giving in,” said coach Greg Gard, whose team will face either Iowa or Indiana. The Badgers swept Indiana and lost to the Hawkeyes, 59-57, on Thursday.

Hey, we’re good: Only three Big Ten schools are ranked in the Top 25 (No. 13 Purdue, No. 24 Wisconsin and No. 25 Maryland). For those who believe the conference is enduring a down year because there is no elite team, Izzo has this to say: “Parity doesn’t mean poor.

Sometimes parity means we’re deeper top to bottom.”

Northwestern coach Chris Collins expects the Big Ten to shine in the NCAA tournament. “I think we’ve been very undersold during the season,” he said.

Reversal of form: After finishing 8-23 last season, Minnesota (23-8) earned the No. 4 seed and is headed to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2013. The Golden Gophers would love to advance as Big Ten champs, but it has been a heck of a season no matter what happens this week.

“These guys had no ego. They truly just cared about winning,” coach Richard Pitino said.

6 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Frazier has high praise for Anderson ‘He’s right there with any shortstop,’ third baseman says

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Todd Frazier is expected to make his Cactus League debut Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers at Camelback Ranch.

That means the White Sox finally will have their biggest home run bat back in the lineup. It also means Frazier, returning from a strained oblique muscle on his left side, will be – for four or five innings, anyway – back in his customary spot at third base.

And it means Tim Anderson had better clean out his ears.

Anderson, a 23-year-old shortstop preparing for his second major league season, quietly was one of the American League’s top rookies in 2016.

Whether or not he could have been as successful as he was without Frazier constantly chirping at him is hard to say.

AP file photo

White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson celebrates with teammates after scoring on a double by Melky Cabrera in the first inning against the Twins on Sept. 30 at Guarantee Rate Field.

Actually, there is no question the veteran was a huge help to Anderson in the field, positioning him before and during at-bats. Anderson – who played only two seasons of baseball in high school, neither at shortstop – needed the help, and likely still does.

“I say, ‘Tim, eventually you’re going to have to start going with your gut on what

these hitters do,’ something I learned myself from Scott Rolen,” Frazier said. “Sometimes (Tigers star) Miguel Cabrera goes the opposite way, sometimes he doesn’t. When he’s in that mode of pulling the ball, let’s me see if he’s going to move over himself, or am I going to have to keep telling him?

“Right now, it’s fine. I don’t mind. Eventually, I’m going to

look over and he’s going to be in the right spot.”

If Anderson is going to blow up into a full-fledged star – many believe he will – his rough edges will have to be smoothed over at the plate, too. He had a nice-looking .283 batting average and showed flashes of explosive power to go with his obvious speed, but the strikeouts were awfully high (117) and the walks awfully low (13) in 410 rookie at-bats.

“The word is, ‘He strikes out a lot and doesn’t walk much,’ but that’s for people outside this locker room,” Anderson said. “I can’t really control what other people think about me, but I can control getting better. Things happen as you grow and mature. I’m still growing.”

Anderson’s favorite shortstop to watch is Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor. He’s a fan of the Cubs’ Addison Russell, too, and can envision a time when there’s robust debate about who’s the No. 1 shortstop in Chicago.

“I’ve got to find out what separates me from those other guys,” he said. “I’m big on finding ways to separate your-

self – speed, bat, defense, whatever.”

Frazier believes his infield partner is “right there with any shortstop” measuring by pure talent. He even dares to liken Anderson to the great Ozzie Smith.

“I’m not saying he’s there yet, but he can emulate that,” Frazier said. “Even when he’s not in the right position, he can get to the ball so quickly and has such a nice release. He needs to work on his (back) flip, though.”

That, and a few other things. Frazier will be chirping at him.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll be over there to shake Timmy up when he needs it.”

Note: Starting pitchers Derek Holland and Michael Kopech got some simulated game action in Tuesday, which was an off day for the Sox. Working with catcher Omar Narvaez, Holland threw 50 pitches over three-plus “innings,” focusing on fastball and changeup location. The 20-year-old Kopech was up and down three times and threw 45 pitches, emphasizing fastball command and his feel for his changeup.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC

WBC matters to players, but scheduling issues won’t go away

By NOAH TRISTER

The Associated Press Victor Martinez was just starting spring training in Florida last month, and already he was feeling the pressure over the World Baseball Classic.

“I don’t know, man,” the veteran slugger said softly. “I think they’re going to have to find a different time to do this.”

The Detroit slugger is on the roster for Venezuela, which begins round-robin play in the WBC on Friday night against Puerto Rico. His concerns about the timing of the event aren’t exactly unique.

Now more than a decade old, this international tournament featuring some of the game’s biggest stars is taking place for the fourth time, but as much as players look forward to the opportunity, it has become increasingly clear that there’s no perfect time and format for this type of competition.

“Coming up with a time to do it, I’m

sure is the most confounding part for everybody,” Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said. “It’s a shame because it’s such a great idea, you know like the World Cup in soccer.”

With so many great players from all over the world, baseball seems like an ideal sport for this type of tournament, but while the WBC receives plenty of interest in Asia and Latin America, it hasn’t totally caught on in the United States, where soccer’s Terry Francona World Cup, the Olympic basketball and hockey tournaments and even golf’s Ryder Cup usually draw a decent amount of anticipation.

“I would like to get the WBC to the point where everyone views it as a premier international event,” commissioner Rob Manfred said a few weeks ago at a spring training event. “I’m going to both Korea and Japan. One of the reasons I’m making that trip is, in

those countries, (there is) tremendous support and interest in this event, and we need to make sure we get the same kind of interest and support here in the United States. I think the key to that is having a competitive, successful team from the United States.”

In Tokyo on Tuesday, Manfred pushed back against the idea that the WBC’s future is shaky, pointing out how popular the event is around the world. Perhaps it would be taken more seriously in the U.S. if the Americans fared better – they never have finished higher than fourth.

This year’s U.S. roster, managed

by Jim Leyland, includes big names such as Andrew McCutchen, Giancarlo Stanton and Paul Goldschmidt. The pitching staff, however, is lacking quite a few stars.

“We’re missing a lot of the best pitchers that we have,” said U.S. second baseman Ian Kinsler of the Tigers.

“You look at (Clayton) Kershaw and David Price and Chris Sale and Rick

Porcello and (Justin) Verlander. You could go on and on.”

None of those aces are on the staff, which underscores one of the event’s biggest challenges – avoiding wear and tear on pitchers who have a long major league season to worry about. In this era of innings limits and heightened sensitivity to pitch counts, everyone’s workload is an issue.

There are rules in place at the WBC limiting pitch counts, but while those restrictions can protect pitchers from overuse, they also contribute to the sense that the top players aren’t able to compete at their highest level in this tournament – which is unfortunate, since players do seem genuinely excited about the chance to participate.

“When the guys get on their teams with their fellow countrymen, and they put on the uniforms, they want to win,” said Brad Ausmus, who managed Israel’s WBC team before being hired by Detroit in 2013. “It’s not an exhibition.

There’s a lot of pride that’s involved.”

Here is how consistent it was for this left-handed-hitting offensive force: n In 2015, Rizzo put up a batting line of .278/.387/.512 for an OPS of .899 with 31 home runs and 101 RBIs.

Anthony Rizzo has a face any franchise would love.

To call Rizzo the face of the Cubs’ franchise might be a stretch, only because this team has so many “franchise” faces: Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Javier Baez and on and on.

Rizzo, 27, was not the first player acquired by Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer when they took over Cubs baseball operations in the fall of 2011, but he was the most important at the time.

Five years later, Rizzo has taken his place among both the franchise faces and team leaders.

“Everyone leads in their own different way,” he said early in spring training. “You’ve got quieter guys. You’ve got guys who are louder. You’ve got guys who do it by example.

I think we’re all unique in our own way, and everyone gets along and understands people’s

Central, the Cubs hired Joe Maddon as manager in late 2014.

“His message since Day 1 when he got here was, ‘Push yourself to the limit you don’t think you can get to, and you’ll see in a few years, we’ll be way past that,’ ” Rizzo said. “That’s what we plan on doing.”

Rizzo said he was most impressed by how his fellow young players have grown with the organization.

“I think the way we have the talent, it’s been talented for a while now,” he said. “To bring in the right pieces and to let guys blossom, you don’t see that a lot, especially winning teams.

You don’t see guys coming in and being able to get an opportunity to just go out and play.

“Honestly, I think that anyone who puts this jersey on knows the feeling. Just because we won the World Series, (it) isn’t a different feeling than anyone else who puts this jersey on. It’s still the same feeling.”

8 BLACKHAWKS

Avoiding penalties a key to success

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com The easy thing – the logical thing – sometimes the only thing you can do as a defenseman when a guy such as Connor McDavid is flying full speed in your direction, is to put your stick on him. Hook him. Slash him. Trip him. Give him the old can-opener move. Just stop him somehow.

“You watch old clips of Brian Leetch, and he’d make a great play by putting his stick in between the guy’s stick and his arm, or putting his stick between a guy’s legs,” Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith said. “But that would be a penalty now, where before, that’s what they taught. You’re not really allowed to use your stick the way you used to be able to use your stick to prevent goals and to defend. Now you’ve got to be able to skate and use your speed.”

And few teams do that as well as the Hawks. For all the keys to their success over the years – top-end talent up front, well-structured team defense, excellent goaltending and all sorts of intangibles – one im-

Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith skates Feb. 21 against the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul, Minn. portant one goes largely unnoticed: They stay out of the penalty box. With 196 penalties in 65 games, the Hawks are 29th out of 30 teams. In fact, they’ve been 27th, 28th or 29th in the

league in penalties for eight straight years, dating back to the 2009-10 season, when they won their first Stanley Cup of the modern era.

In a league in which goals

are at a premium, limiting opposing power plays is crucial.

“The coaches emphasize it,” defensive forward Dennis Rasmussen said. “We try to work with our sticks on the ice and not take stupid penalties. We work with our sticks instead of just using our bodies. You’ve still got to use your body to separate guys from the puck sometimes, but we’re pretty smart about it. It’s something the coaches really work with us on, especially when you first arrive to the team.”

It goes beyond just being smart, though. For years, the Hawks have been one of the top puck-possession teams in the league, and if you have the puck, you’re usually not clutching, grabbing, hooking, tripping or retaliating. And beyond that, the Hawks simply aren’t a physical team. They’re built on skill, not brawn, so there are fewer opportunities to take penalties such as interference and boarding.

Hits aren’t a terribly reliable stat, varying from arena to arena, but the Hawks are dead last in the category, with 928 of them – fewer than half what the league-leading Los

Angeles Kings have.

Brian Campbell said the Hawks would like to ratchet up the physical play with the playoffs drawing near, but it’ll never be a focal point.

“It hasn’t really been our identity to just run through teams,” Jonathan Toews said.

“Other teams have tried to run through us, and it doesn’t necessarily always work. We focus on having the puck and playing with the puck, and then you don’t have to worry about hitting guys or taking stick penalties or trying not to get caught cheating. It definitely is one of those statistics that has something to do with our success, for sure.”

Defensively, the Hawks focus on taking away shooting lanes, and blocking shots. Top defensemen such as Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson and newly reacquired Johnny Oduya manage to maintain a tight gap between themselves and the puck-handler by body-positioning, smart stick-work and elite skating. The less they have to put their stick on an opponent’s body, the less time their team will spend shorthanded.

BULLS

Payne gets more minutes with Rondo sidelined

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com ORLANDO – Bulls newcomer Cameron Payne seemed to get the confidence boost he needed when he started the fourth quarter of a tie game against the Pistons on Monday night. Right?

“It’s big time, just playing period,” Payne said. “Not even late – just being out there on the court. You can get a lot of confidence that way. I think that’ll be good for me.”

Payne, the point guard considered the key player acquired in the trade that sent Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott to the Thunder on Feb. 24, has been feeling his way through a challenging transition in his first 10 days with the Bulls.

Payne’s performance in Monday night’s game was hardly a breakthrough, but at least showed a glimpse

of his potential. Playing 23 minutes with Rajon Rondo out with an injury, the 2015 first-round pick from Murray State hit 4 of 9 3-point shots and scored 14 points. He was far from perfect – he shot 5 of 14 overall – and he looks like a guy still trying to acclimated to his teammates and coach Fred Cameron Hoiberg’s system. But it Payne at least was an indication that the more minutes he gets, the better he’ll be.

“I feel like I’m starting to get comfortable a little bit,” Payne said. “Starting to get a little more confidence.”

If anything, it might have edged the Bulls closer to giving Payne the playing time and role he needs to fully acclimate himself into Hoiberg’s offense and give the Bulls a chance to see what

they’ve got.

“He has to play more,” guard Dwyane Wade said. “I think everyone wants to see him get comfortable. We’ve all seen he’s not afraid to shoot. He’s aggressive. He’s a 3-point shooter. He doesn’t lack confidence at all. As he continues to get comfortable with his role and his role is expanded or whatever the case may be, we’ll all get a chance to see what the young guy can be.”

Hoiberg acknowledged that day may eventually come – “we talk about it every day with our rotations and what we want to do,” he said. But it’s hard to do with the Bulls (31-32) struggling to maintain their playoff standing. They are tied with the Pistons for the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference heading into Wednesday night’s game against the Magic at Amway Center.

“We’ll continue to see how it goes,” Hoiberg said. “He’s still trying to fig-

ure his way. He’s trying to get comfortable with what we’re doing. In talking to him, he’s starting to feel more comfortable each time he goes out there.

Jerian [Grant] has played pretty well for the most part as a starter. He’s shot the ball at a pretty high clip. But I think Payne’s showing he’s got a chance to be a good, solid player.”

The Bulls already are seeing the difference playing time and a defined role can make in Bobby Portis. The second-year forward has been a much bigger factor since being inserted as a starter after Gibson’s departure.

“It’s helped me tremendously,” Portis said. “Just to know I’m going to play, that’s the biggest thing for me. Earlier in the season I didn’t really know if I was going to play and sometimes I would come in just trying to stay ready to play. Now I have a more defined role and I’m very confident with it.”

Keeping QB bad, but some other options are worse

VIEWS Rick Telander

management felt good enough to raise ticket prices.

Welcome to the Chicago Way, folks.

Personally, I would be depressed if Cutler trots out there again, for his ninth year on the throne. Don’t they say insanity is doing the same failing thing again and again and expecting success?

But equally disturbing would be dumping Cutler with no plan in mind, and returning to the dark days of yore when the quarterback-for-a-day chart spun like a rigged roulette wheel.

Do you recall 1996 to 2003, for hideous example?

That gave us starters Steve Walsh, Dave “Small Hands” Krieg, Rick Mirer, Steve Stenstrom, Moses “Bring Down the Tablets” Moreno, Shane Matthews, Cade “God Help Us” McNown, Jim Miller, Chris Chandler, Henry Burris and Kordell Stewart.

How about the single year of 2004?

We’re talking Rex Grossman, Jonathan Quinn, Craig Krenzell and Chad Hutchinson.

You could call these periods the College of Quarterbacks or, my preference, “Why Us, Lord?”

There are worse things than Jay Cutler at quarterback. Let us pray we don’t have to find out what that is.

BEARS FREE-AGENCY ANALYSIS

Pace faces big questions at QB, WR

By ADAM L. JAHNS

Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon looks for a receiver against the Jaguars during a preseason game Aug. 20 in Jacksonville, Fla. Glennon’s is a hot name at quarterback in free agency.

This time of year is full of lies and speculation. It’s just part of NFL free agency.

But general manager Ryan Pace, who is in the middle of his third offseason in charge of the Bears, feels at home working through all of it.

It might be his specialty.

“Coming from New Orleans, my background had always been more in pro scouting,” Pace said last week during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. “So I’ve always been very comfortable in free agency and kind of understanding that, ‘Hey, free agency is dangerous.’ ” That’s especially true when you have questions at quarterback and receiver to answer this offseason.

THE BREAKDOWN 2016 offensive rankings: Total: 15.

(2014); Long, Wilson (2013); Jeffery (2012).

The big decision: Nothing is more important than quarterback, of course.

Scoring: t-28.

The Bears’ belief and interest in Hoy2016 Pro Bowl players: Running back er shouldn’t be overlooked, but Mike Jordan Howard (alternate) Notable free agents: Receiver Alshon Glennon is obviously the hot name.

Glennon, 27, hasn’t started since Jeffery, quarterback Brian Hoyer, 2014, but that partly is because he was quarterback Matt Barkley, receiver Marquess Wilson and tight end Logan caught up in coaching changes with the Buccaneers.

Taylor’s record as a starter? Fourteen-and-14. There’s the value of plain, old average in this QB-driven sport.

In fact, the New York Jets are said to be interested in Taylor if the Bills dump him, which means the Bills might be interested in our man Cutler.

And so it goes in the land of rumor and fabrication.

The deep question for the Bears is this: Can they improve themselves by re-signing free-agent Brian Hoyer or pursuing curiously hot Mike Glennon or trading for Tom Brady-understudy Tony Garoppolo? Or should they draft a college quarterback and pray?

Or should they tread water until 2018 when UCLA’s Josh Rosen and USC’s Sam Darnold, among other potential stars, enter the draft?

As if that’s not confusing enough, consider that the Cowboys might release battered-but-skilled quarterback Tony Romo. And – here’s an insane one: no-longer-kneeling-for-theanthem Colin Kaepernick is floating around out there without a flag in his hand, ready to maybe play ball.

Remember how he lit up the Bears on that Monday night in 2012 in his first NFL start?

Never mind. Lots of air has passed under everybody’s wings since then.

How would Bears ticket holders feel if Cutler is the Week 1 quarterback again? Believe it or not, after that dreadful 3-13 season in 2016, giving the Bears a three-year record of 14-34,

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Letroy Guion has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the first four games of the 2017 season for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

The NFL said in a statement Tuesday that Guion would be eligible to take part in all offseason and preseason practices, as well as preseason games.

The Packers declined comment.

Guion started 15 games last season, making 30 tackles. The nine-year veteran agreed to a three-year deal worth $11.25 million in February 2016 to stay with the Packers.

special for tight ends and running backs. The receivers class also offers a deep collection of talent and speed.

Still, everything starts and ends at quarterback. It’s an average class, but quarterbacks always rise up draft boards.

For the Bears, it likely will be a matter of who is available on Day 2 of the draft. Selecting one at No. 3 seems unlikely, which means the Bears could miss on Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubisky and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer.

The Bears’ picks in the second and third rounds (Nos. 36 and 67) make more sense. We’ll see if the Bears can add more picks, too. They’d love to.

Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes, Pittsburgh’s Nate Peterman and Cal’s Davis Webb top the second tier of quarterbacks.

Free-agent fodder: Beyond quarterback, the Bears are actively pursuing free-agent receivers with Jeffery in flux and Royal likely to be released.

In this case, think speed.

At the combine, coach John Fox bemoaned the Bears’ lack of long touchdowns in 2016, citing a need for “more playmakers.”

So keep an eye on the Dolphins’ Kenny Stills, who scored touchdowns of 24, 74, 66, 39, 43, 28, 52, 6 and 25 yards last season.

Stills also was a fifth-round pick of Pace and the Saints in 2013. The Bears tried to trade for him in 2015, but the Dolphins acquired him.

In his two years with Pace and the Saints, Stills scored eight touchdowns, going for 34, 69, 42, 52, 76, 46, 9 and 69 yards.

The Colts’ Jack Doyle tops all tight ends in free agency. Doyle seems to fit Pace’s profile for free agency, especially having played for new receivers coach Zach Azzanni in college at Western Kentucky, but his price could be hefty.

The Bears also have an interest in Raiders receiver/special-teamer Andre Holmes and tight end Dion Sims.

They also have been linked to Vikings kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson and Ravens right tackle Ricky Wagner.

Glennon faced Pace’s Saints twice in his career, losing both times in New Orleans.

In a 42-17 loss Dec. 29, 2013, Glennon completed 22 of 41 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a 75.2 passer rating.

In his second season, Glennon went 19 for 32 for 249 yards, two touchdowns, an interception and a 91.8 passer rating in a 37-31 loss Oct. 5, 2014.

Even though Glennon reportedly could get as much as $15 million a season, the Bears will be cautious when it comes to committing to him for the long term.

The finer points of a deal will matter. Over the past two years, the Bears have displayed a preference for filling contracts with incentives.

But would Glennon really go for that?

Either way, if trading for Jimmy Garoppolo or Kirk Cousins is not possible, the most important decision the Bears will make at quarterback will come early in the draft. It still is best to pair Glennon with a young quarterback from the draft. The same, of course, applies to Hoyer.

OK, so what’s up with Cutler?

At the combine, Pace said Cutler remained an option to return. But a league source suggested that a trade market might develop for Cutler after free agency settles and teams search for answers.

Cutler can’t be traded until the new league opens with free agency at 3 p.m. Thursday. He also has to pass a physical after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

The big decision (part 2): Can the Bears find common ground with Jeffery?

The Bears needed Jeffery to test the market in order to improve negotiations.

Last year, Jeffery was looking for a deal of about $14 million annually.

It would have put him among the league’s best receivers. Jeffery’s pursuits were similar last season.

But according to a Yahoo! Sports report, the market is expected to be about $10 million annually for Jeffery.

There’s more to talks with Jeffery, too. It includes the Bears’ future decision at quarterback.

“I wouldn’t say it’s all about the money,” Jeffery said Tuesday during an ESPN podcast with NFL insider Adam Schefter. “It’s just about the best fit for me – the right coaches, the best team I think that’s going to win a championship or whoever’s got a quarterback that’s going to be there for a while.”

Draft implications: Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the draft compared to who is available in free agency is a must for the best plans.

This year, the draft is considered

The ChicagoLand Clinics offer therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

We have clinics throughout ChicagoLand that have partnered with the Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC

medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to many of these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

ON THE COVER Pan Seared Pork Chops with Madeira and Leek Cream Sauce

By FRITZ HAHN

The Washington Post Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of Lent, and, for many Christians, the weeks leading up to Easter are filled with prayer, reflection and self-denial.

Some choose to give up their favorite things – even beer. Such a decision would be unthinkable for monks in 17th- century Munich, who subsisted on beer and water during the Lenten period. Those Paulaner monks, from the Neudeck ob der Au monastery, brewed a stronger, richer version of their popular bock beer as “liquid bread” to sustain them during their 46-day fasts.

The Paulaner beers haven’t been brewed by monks for hundreds of years, but the doppelbock, or “double bock,” beer lives on. Of all the German and American breweries making doppelbocks, Ayinger Celebrator is the one I’m most inclined to reach for. It comes from a family-owned brewery in Bavaria.

With the lager’s aromas of raisin and molasses, and a creamy, chocolatecolored body loaded with roasted malt, brown bread and dark fruit flavors, it’s easy to see how it could get anyone

through crisp spring days and nights. At 6.7 percent alcohol by volume, Celebrator is less boozy than some other doppelbocks – the noteworthy Troegenator

from Pennsylvania checks in at 8.2 percent. But Ayinger’s version is a wonderful representative of the style, and not something I could give up easily.

Is extra-virgin olive oil a waste of money?

I’m hearing conflicting opinions on whether sauteing with extra-virgin olive oil is a waste of the extra money paid for it, as it breaks down with high heat.

Others say to go ahead and use it. What is the real deal?

It is perfectly safe to fry or sauté with extra-virgin, despite all the myths to the contrary. In fact, it might be the safest oil for frying.

However, a fine extra-virgin can be very expensive. I don’t use an estate-bottled oil for frying any more than I use a Château Mouton-Rothschild to make boeuf bourguignon.

There are, fortunately, plenty of lower-priced California extra-virgins that make sense for this. And for deep-frying, they can be used a second time if you strain them thoroughly after the first use.

I picked up a Parmesan rind last week on a whim, because I was surprised to see them at our store. I’ve read about uses for them, but as I never had one, I didn’t hold on to the information. So, what is your No. 1 suggestion to make me a Parmesan rind convert?

The No. 1 idea is to put them into soups and stews and broths, where they lend great flavor. The No. 2 idea is to put them into risotto from the outset.

My roast potatoes never come out quite right. I quarter them, toss them in olive oil and a bit of salt, cook at 400 degrees F. in an unlined baking pan – and yet some are burned and others are soft. What could I be doing better? Is it my oven’s fault?

Some tips: Depending on the type of potato, you might want to par-cook them before you roast them in the oven.

Make sure your pieces are all about the same size.

Be sure to toss the potatoes halfway through the

oven time, so different sides come in contact with the heated surface of the pan.

And turn that pan from front to back in the oven, too, for even cooking.

Your oven might indeed have hot spots, which can account for uneven heating.

Do you notice it when you bake? Maybe it’s time for a repair call.

My husband recently hit the trifecta: diagnosed with high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. We know we need to radically change our diets to get him back to health. Do you have any cookbook recommendations?

His doctor suggested a more Mediterranean diet but didn’t offer much past that.

You give me a chance for some unabashed selfpromotion. I think my book, “The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook,” will set you on the right path. It was published in 2011, but the information is still very much up to date. In fact, all the newest research on the Mediterra-

nean diet just confirms what I wrote back then.

And, fortunately for you and your husband, you are on the way to a delicious lifestyle, a friendly path through the kitchen and an abundant table.

We have a weekly Dessert Day at the office, and I am thinking of making something using the commercial puff pastry currently in my freezer.

Do you have any suggestions or tips for me? I see a lot of recipes with pastry cream and fruit. Will those hold up?

Puff pastry is one of those things best eaten soon after it’s made.

If you want to make something the day before, I’d make palmiers. Instead of using flour, you roll the dough out on both sides in sugar and then you roll the dough up like a snail or a butterfly and bake until the sugar caramelizes.

The cookies are very crisp, and if you keep them in a cool, dry place they’ll be fine the next day.

Fall-apart Roasted Pork Shoulder with Rosemary, Mustard and Garlic AP photo

Low & slow

Pork shoulder a hands-off dish that can feed a crowd

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

I was talking with a friend about perfect meals for entertaining, and we went through the usual suspects: lasagnas, chili, tenderloins. And then he mentioned his favorite go-to entertaining dish was a pork butt or shoulder left in a low oven for so long it practically fell apart. A cut of meat so flexible the cooking time could be stretched by an hour, or three, and the roast wouldn’t be any worse for the wear. A roast that could be plunked on the table whenever everyone was ready to eat.

Long ago, a chef had explained to him meat likes to be cooked at around the temperature it reaches when it is done. While I don’t think that is always the case (flame-kissed steaks and burgers anyone?), it made nice sense when I thought in terms of a big, tough hunk of meat, like this pork shoulder, which needs low and slow cooking to make it turn from impossibly tough to tender.

Rushing the process won’t help; you’ve got to keep the heat low and

the time long. The best part? This is free time you can spend reading, dancing, sleeping, cleaning a closet, saving kittens from trees.

You can leave the roast in the very low oven for an extra 1 to 3 hours with no repercussions. If you feel it needs a bit more browning or caramelization at the end, turn the heat up to 450 degrees F. for 15 minutes before pulling the roast out of the oven, and then make sure it rests for a bit so the fibers can relax and the juices regroup.

If all has gone as planned, the meat will be so tender the slices won’t hold together. That’s part of the appeal.

Fall-apart Roasted Pork Shoulder with Rosemary, Mustard and Garlic Serves 10 to 12 Start to finish: 8 hours (mostly hands off)

2 tablespoons chopped garlic 3 anchovies, rinsed 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard 1 6-pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and tied In a small food processor combine the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, salt and pepper.

Add the olive oil and process until it forms a paste, scraping down the sides. (If you don’t have a mini food processor, just mince the ingredients and then transfer them to a bowl. Use a fork to mash them into the olive oil.) Remove the blade and use a fork or spoon to stir in the mustard. Rub the paste all over the pork shoulder, loosely cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate from 2 to 24 hours.

Bring the pork to room temperature, which will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and toward the end preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the pork in a shallow roasting pan and roast, fat side down, for 30 minutes, until the top starts to brown.

Turn the heat down to 250 degrees F. and continue to cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the middle of the roast registers 180 degrees F. on an internal thermometer, and as you slide the thermometer in you can feel that the meat is very tender throughout. About

1/2 hour before you are ready to call it done, pour off most of the juices from the pan into a heatproof container, like a Pyrex measuring cup. Place this in the fridge, where the fat will rise to the top.

When the meat is cooked, if you think that the outside of the roast could use a bit more crust/brownness, turn the heat back up to 450 degrees F. and let it cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, to give the outside a crunchier texture.

Remove from the oven and let sit for about 20 minutes, especially if you have raised the heat at the end. Spoon the fat off the reserved juices in the fridge and pour the cooking juices into a serving pitcher or bowl (warm it in the microwave or in a small pot if you like).

Slice the pork as thinly or thickly as you like, knowing the meat will fall apart at least slightly. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the sliced meat before serving, and pass the pan juices on the side to drizzle.

Beef tenderloin gets a festive remake

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

As much as I love prime rib, beef tenderloin is much easier to prepare, easier to carve and the leftovers are good cold.

The only challenge with beef tenderloin is it is lean (little to no fat), and it is best served rare. I wanted to do something that looked a little fancier than plain grilled tenderloin but was just as easy to execute. I thought about one of my favorite ways to prepare filet – bacon-wrapped – and thought, let’s see what happens if I wrap the whole tenderloin in bacon, mummy style.

I proceeded to wrap room-temperature bacon around the tenderloin, tucking the end pieces under the center of the tenderloin to make sure it all was roughly the same size. When bacon is room temperature, it will stick to itself, and you don’t need toothpicks to secure it. Make sure to buy a standard thin-cut bacon and make each piece slightly overlap the other, so it will bake into a beautiful bacon crust.

Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin Serves: 10 Start to Finish: 90 minutes

1 trimmed tenderloin, center cut, about 4-5 pounds Olive oil Salt and pepper 1 pound thin-cut bacon, at room temperature Fresh thyme leaves for garnish Green Peppercorn and Thyme sauce

2 teaspoons thyme, plus 8-10 sprigs for infusing and garnish 1 tablespoon green peppercorns, pressed dry Fine-grain sea salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste

Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin AP photo

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Brush tenderloin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Tuck the small ends of the tenderloin under each side to make sure the roast is about the same thickness all over.

Beginning at one side, wrap the bacon around the tenderloin, overlapping the pieces of bacon so that they stick to each other.

Make sure that the ends of the bacon are tucked under.

Place bacon-wrapped tenderloin on a rack set into a pan with the ends of the bacon touching the rack so the bacon doesn’t unravel.

Roast at 325 degrees F. for 60 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 125 degrees F. Remove and let rest for 20 minutes, covered with foil. If you use thin-cut bacon, it should be crisp, but if you want the bacon to be

Green Peppercorn and Thyme Sauce

Combine the butter, vinegar, shallot, cognac and mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. When the liquid is reduced, add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and whisk until it is incorporated. This addition of the cream will help prevent the sauce from breaking.

Next start adding the butter, cube by cube.

Whisk continually. When the first cube of butter is almost melted, add another and repeat until all of the butter is incorporated.

Add the cream and a dash of Tabasco if using, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Add about 5 sprigs of thyme and let sit in the hot sauce for 10 minutes.

While the mixture is still warm, strain through a fine strainer. Mix in the thyme leaves and peppercorns if using. Use immediately or keep in a pitcher in a warm water bath. If it breaks, you can reincorporate with a little heavy cream or by using an immersion blender.

2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 large shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons) 3 tablespoons cognac or brandy 1 tablespoon strong Dijon mustard 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 dash Tabasco or other favorite hot sauce, optional

Sophisticated food still can be easy weeknight meal

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

Question: Why does sophisticated food always have to be complicated?

Answer: Trick question; it doesn’t.

Case in point, these pork chops.

You quickly sear the chops up, and finish by making a rich, creamy, leek pan sauce in the same skillet you used to brown the chops in. The seared chops then finish cooking in the sauce, and you have a one-dish meal that you might be pleased to have served up to you at a restaurant.

If you don’t have fresh rosemary or thyme, use half the dried amount of each. And if there is a border of fat on the chops, use a knife to score it (cut vertical lines across the sides of the fat, without cutting into the meat itself) so the chops stay nice and flat as they cook. When you sear meat, try to

avoid moving it around and flipping it frequently, which prevents that great caramelized crust from forming. Peek when you need to, but don’t keep fussing around with it.

Pan Seared Pork Chops with Madeira and Leek Cream Sauce Serves 4 Start to finish: 25 minutes

4 large, bone-in, 1-inch thick pork chops (about 3 pounds total) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 shallots, minced 1 cup sliced leeks (white and light green parts only), well rinsed 1/4 cup Madeira wine 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves

1 cup chicken broth 3/4 cup heavy cream Hot cooked mashed potatoes, rice, quinoa or other grains to serve Chopped freshly parsley to garnish (optional) Bring the pork chops to room temperature and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the chops without moving them until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side (they will not be fully cooked, but still pink in the middle). Transfer the pork chops to a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the shallots and leeks to the pan. Sauté for 10 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. Turn the heat back up to medium-high, add the Madeira, thyme and rosemary, and scrape to release any

bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer, then return the pork chops to the pan, nestling them into the sauce among the leeks, and continue to simmer until the pork is just cooked through, with a hint of pink in the middle, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F., about 3 more minutes. The sauce will have reduced and thickened a bit.

Let the chops sit in the sauce for a couple of minutes off of the heat. Serve them with the starch of your choice, with the leek sauce ladled over the top of the pork. Finish with a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.

The latest Instagram-worthy food craze: Sushi doughnuts Sushi doughnuts

The Washington Post

First there was latte art, then Cronuts, ramen burgers, sushi burritos, rainbow food and rolled ice cream.

Now, the latest hyper-visual Frankenfood to take over your Instagram account: Sushi doughnuts.

“I’m aware that it’s not the most practical way to eat sushi,” said Sam Murphy, 24. The Melbournebased vegan cookbook author said she invented the dish last summer, just playing around with a doughnut mold. But in the past week, it’s gone viral in the United States, with several restaurants attempting the dish.

Expect it to rapidly surpass the sushi burrito in Instagrammability. But before those restaurants caught on, there was apparently Murphy, whose initial version of the dish was vegan.

“I take it as a bit of flattery,” she said. “Of course, I can’t expect everyone in the food world to credit me.”

She makes hers by chilling three cups of cooked sushi rice, then pressing it firmly into a silicone doughnut mold that has been greased with coconut oil. She lets the rice set for a

few minutes, and then carefully pops it out of the mold and decorates it with sliced avocado, wasabi, vegan mayonnaise, pickled ginger and other vegetables. Non-vegans typically top them with fish, and Project Poke Co. innovated further by presenting them on sheets of nori, which makes them easier to eat. The bright colors and multiple textures of the dish – not to mention the round shape – make it very appealing to photograph.

Murphy isn’t surprised they took off in America first. “I call them fun foods,” said Murphy, which is generous, considering other people have called them “stupid” and “not food.”

“I think those trends catch on with you guys well over there.”

Nation’s best cheesemakers out to prove it in Wisconsin

By CARRIE ANTLFINGER The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE – The national cheese spotlight this week turns to Wisconsin – where else? – as judges get ready to sniff, taste and touch thousands of samples in the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest.

The national contest alternates each year with the world cheese-off.

Winners will be announced Thursday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Entries for the national competition are up 22 percent, to a record 2,303, as cheesemakers recognize the marketing value of winning big competitions. Case in point: Emmi Roth USA says sales have increased 20 percent for their Grand Cru Surchoix, made in Monroe, Wisconsin, since they won the World Championship Cheese Contest in 2016. It was the first time an American cheese won the title since 1988. Entering competitions introduces their cheeses to new retailers, buyers and customers, gets them valuable feedback from judges and often an increase in sales, she said.

This year’s competition includes 25

first-time companies.

The competition has 48 judges nibbling their way through 101 categories. They include ones you’d expect – mild cheddar, colby, mozzarella – and a few you might not, such as smearripened soft cheese (cheese smeared with bacterial cultures during ripening), flavored cheese and Hispanic melting cheeses. New classes this year include flavored butter and snack cheese. According to the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association, categories that saw the greatest increase in entries include string cheese, which had 113 percent growth; soft ripened cheeses, with a 66 percent spike; and Edam and Gouda, up 52 percent.

Wisconsin had the most entries of any state, but New York, Vermont, California and Idaho also were in the top 5. Thirty-three states are represented altogether. The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association event this week is the largest technical evaluation of cheese, butter and yogurt in the U.S. It started in 1981. The American Cheese Society also holds a national competition every year and moves to different regions of the country.

George S. Kaufman, who, inter alia, wrote some musicals for the Marx Brothers, said, “I understand your new play is full of single entendre.”

In today’s deal, North should sing loudly about a single feature of his hand. After he opens one diamond and South responds one spade, what should North rebid?

North is just worth game, but there is a better bid than four spades.

He should jump to four clubs. This is a splinter bid showing four-card spade support, game-going values and a singleton (or void) in clubs -near-perfect!

Suddenly South sees that he has no club losers. He might jump straight to six spades, but perhaps should content himself with five spades, which North ought to raise with such good red suits -- South must have excellent trumps to be slamming without all of those red honors.

How did declarer plan the play after West led the spade jack?

South saw that he needed trumps to be 3-2 and to have some luck in the red suits. However, there were transportation difficulties, and he did not want to rely on a red-suit finesse.

Declarer spotted an unusually good line. He won the first trick with the spade ace, cashed the club ace and ruffed a club. The next card he called for surprised everyone at the table, particularly East: dummy’s diamond 10. East took this with his queen and returned a second trump, but declarer won in his hand, ruffed another club, cashed the top hearts, ruffed a heart, drew West’s last trump and claimed. He took four spades, two hearts, three diamonds, one club and two club ruffs.
