MCC to consider layoffs

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County College Board of Trustees will consider cutting faculty, support staff and administrators at a special board meeting Thursday.

The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. in Room A217 at MCC, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake. It is open to the public. College officials declined to say Wednesday how many positions could be eliminated.

The board will consider three separate resolutions requested to reduce support staff, nontenured and tenured faculty and administration, according to the agenda.

The potential layoffs are the result of the state budget impasse, college spokeswoman Christina Haggerty said.

“This, combined with lack of growth from other revenue sources such as the levy and tuition, has caused MCC, like many other community colleges in Illinois, to take additional cost-saving measures,” she said.

“We’re arguably experiencing one of the most challenging

financial circumstances this extraordinary community college has faced in many years,” board Chairman Mike Smith Mike Smith said.

“Ultimately, we’re obligated to be as fiscally responsible as possible and maintain a healthy budget.”

Tuesday afternoon, four fulltime members of MCC’s counseling department said they were unexpectedly laid off and escorted out by police. The four said they didn’t understand why they weren’t able to carry out their jobs through the rest of school year.

“In 30 years I’ve never been told I’ve had five minutes to get out. Never seen anything like this and was totally shocked when it happened,” said Ellen Zimmerman, who worked as a mental health counselor at MCC. Bilingual counselor Luisa Lauf, who worked at the college for 21 years before being laid off Tuesday, said she’s concerned about what will happen to the students she’d been counseling.

“We have a relationship

with these students,” Lauf said.

“And we’re supposed to notify them when we’re leaving but were unable to do that.”

Patricia Zokal, who was a full-time counselor and has been with the college for 14 years, said another concern they have is what will happen to all the resources and contacts they’ve developed over the years.

“There was no transition period for someone to pick those up immediately,” Zokal said.

“The resources we picked up are basically just gone now.”

“I believe they got rid of the one department that is solely there for student success,” said Amy Taylor, former department chairwoman and full-time counselor for MCC. Taylor and her former co-workers said they plan to attend Thursday’s meeting.

MCC serves Community College District 528, which includes nearly all of McHenry County and small parts of Boone, Kane and Lake counties.

It employed about 750 people in 2015, including 105 full-time instructors and an average of 370 part-time instructors each semester, according to a report published that year.

Crystal Lake middle schooler is 2017 McHenry County spelling champ

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – After finishing as the runner-up last year, 13-year-old Serena Huberty was determined this year to win the McHenry County Spelling Bee. A year later, Serena was tasked with spelling the winning word “uvula,” which is defined as a fleshy extension at the back of the soft palate that hangs above the throat.

The eighth-grade student from Richard Bernotas Middle School in Crystal Lake spelled the word correctly and was named the winner of the 2017 McHenry County Spelling Bee. “It feels really, really good to win this time,” Serena said. “I was a little unsure about that word because it seemed too simple, but I ended up getting it right.”

Twelve students from McHenry County-area schools participated in this year’s spelling bee. The bee was held Wednesday night at McHenry County College, with the chance for the winner to earn a spot at the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee, which will take place May 28 to June 3.

After the sixth round, there were two contestants left – Huberty and Tagan Gizel of Parkland School in McHenry. Tagan was the first runner-up, and Giuliana Ramirez from Heineman Middle School in Algonquin finished as the second runner-up.

All 12 participants were given certificates of achievement, while the top three each were given a plaque provided by the Regional Office of Education.

“To study, I just kept reviewing the packets with my mom, who helped quiz me a lot,” Serena said. “I didn’t really do anything different studying this

year compared to last.”

Serena said the word that was most difficult for her to spell was macadamia.

“I second-guessed what I was originally thinking, then I decided to go with my original thought,” she said.

Serena is involved in several school clubs and likes to dance and play soccer outside of school.

Earning a trip to Washington, D.C., for the National Spelling Bee, Serena said she plans to bring her mom along with her.

“I’m very proud of her, and she worked very hard,” said Susan Huberty, Serena’s mom.

“She’s such a smart girl and studies hard,” said Jean Bowman, Serena’s language arts teacher.

When asked how she’ll celebrate, Parkland Middle School student Tagan GiSerena said possibly with some “ice zel tries to spell a word Wednesday at the cream.” spelling bee. Tagan finished second.

Duke’s to open eatery at Three Oaks

Mainstay of downtown Crystal Lake will operate restaurant at wakeboarding park

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A fixture of Crystal Lake’s downtown restaurant and bar scene was given the nod to take over the restaurant at the new wakeboarding park at Three Oaks Recreation Area.

The City Council voted Tuesday evening, 6-0, to approve an agreement allowing Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen to operate the restaurant at The Quarry Cable Park & Grille, which opened last year.

Called “Duke’s on the Water,” the restaurant will feature burgers, sandwiches, salads and other comfort foods, said Duke’s owner Zak Dolezal, who was approached by the wakeboard park’s owners about taking over the restaurant operations.

“They came to me and specifically wanted us in there. I was flattered,” Dolezal said.

Like the menu at the alehouse’s 110 N. Main St. location, the Three Oaks location will source its ingredients from local and sustainable producers and maintain the same “ecological business standards.”

“That’s super important to us, and we’re going to maintain this philosophy,” Dolezal said.

Duke’s on the Water is expected to

open in early May. City Council members approved the agreement without discussion as part of the consent agenda.

The wakeboarding park, named in honor of the former quarry that the city repurposed, is located in and around Three Oaks’ smaller, 32-acre North Lake. It has two basic courses and one advanced one in which wakeboarders move along a cable system suspended in the air instead of being pulled by boats.

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

While Duke’s Alehouse is renowned for its extensive craft beer selection, the park’s owners still will be in charge of serving alcohol. The park has a redundant admittance system in place to prevent people who have been drinking from wakeboarding.

Shaw Media file photo The park building also can be used People line up to jump on a cable July 12, 2016, while wakeboarding at The Quarry Cable to host events and parties, which Park at Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake.

Under terms of the agreement, Duke’s will pay the wakeboard park a monthly rent of $3,500 during the operating months of May through October, 5 percent of which will go to the city, WE CLEAN OUT BASEMENTS, ATTICS, according to city records.

Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 Board candidates discuss key issues Wednesday at a candidate forum at Woodstock High School.

D-200 board candidates talk school district’s future

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia,com WOODSTOCK – School consolidation was a hot button issue at the first of the Woodstock School District 200 Board candidate forums Wednesday at Woodstock High School.

Nine candidates vie for four open seats on the District 200 board and voiced their opinions on a variety of topics Wednesday at the first candidate forum. Two incumbents – Bill Nattress and Board President Carl Gilmore – are running along with John Parisi, Susan Handelsman, Barbara Gessert, Suzann Schroeder, Karen Kockler, Jill Ferrarini and Jacob Homuth – who was absent from Wednesday’s forum because of illness.

The district is considering the topic of school consolidation in order to save money. Candidates differed on whether closing schools would be the best way to move forward, but incumbents were quick to remind the audience that there was no proposal on the table.

“There is no school consolidation plan right now,” Gilmore said. “As far as it sits right now, there is nothing for me to consider.”

But Parisi – who also is a member of the facilities committee in the process of looking at school consolidation – said that the district still was early on in the planning process and that some kind of facility consolidation wasn’t off the

table either.

“There are facilities in the district that are sorely in need of safety upgrades that have serious maintenance concerns coming,” he said. “There may need to be facility consolidation. We’re not talking about losing full-time employees. We’re not talking about losing teachers. … There is a lot to look at still.”

Other candidates said there were other ways the district could save money without consolidation.

Gessert said the consolidation would be an opportunity to save the district money: “Then consolidation is an opportunity to close office space,” she said. “We don’t want people to have jobs and commitments to their families to lose and cut those parts of the budget. We don’t want to cut jobs or affect children’s education. The superintendent has said the opportunity for consolidation can happen without affecting education. … The buildings are just buildings.”

Schroeder said that taking advantage of unused space would be a way to save money.

“There are two completely unused office suites, which could potentially house one of the district offices, but also the annex on the building on the Square, and we would save money that way,” she said. “In addition to that, taking a look at the busing system. Currently there is a bus that runs with 10

or less kids on them. It doesn’t seem like the most efficient way.”

Handelsman said that spending needs to be cut.

“We have the highest amount of administrative salaries, which is unfortunately beyond the means of our community,” she said. “We need to look into outsourcing externally our goods and transportation departments.”

Kockler said she recognizes the challenge of providing sound education while remaining fiscally responsible but believes she has the experience necessary to rise to the challenge.

Ferrarini was the only candidate who opposes the district’s transgender bathroom policy, which allows transgender students to use the facilities that align with their gender identities.

She also opposes consolidating the high schools, she said.

“Right off the bat, I do oppose putting the high schools together,” she said. “I don’t feel that is the best way to reduce taxes. I want to see our school and community have a symbiotic relationship.”

Nattress said that it might be time to rethink the layout of the district.

“The referendum said build those new schools,” he said. “These are things we might need to rethink. I’m not saying we should close a building, because we can’t afford it anymore. I’m saying that maybe we look at consolidating like programs in a single building.”

Hundreds were left without power Wednesday in McHenry County as the area was under a high-wind warning.

Gusts reached 58 mph in the county, National Weather Service meteorologist Stephen Rodriguez said.

The high-wind warning expired at 5 p.m. Wednesday, and Rodriguez said winds Thursday are expected to be weaker – between 10 and 12 mph.

In the afternoon Wednesday, ComEd’s power outage map showed that more than 180 customers were without power in Woodstock, and more than 940 customers were without power near Algonquin. Crystal Lake also had more than 200 customers with no power earlier in the day, and other areas throughout the county also showed power loss.

By about 8:30 p.m., the map still showed some outages scattered across the county. The highest number of customers still affected was near Wonder Lake, where about 500 were without power. The estimated restoration time was 2:15 p.m. Thursday, according to the map, and the probable cause was listed as severe weather.

Drunken driver gets 8 years in LITH crash Men seriously hurt in 2015 wreck share how their lives changed

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – In what a McHenry County judge called a “horribly sad and tragic” situation, a former Lake in the Hills man was sentenced to eight years in prison for a 2015 drunken driving crash that left two men with life-changing injuries.

“There are two young men here whose lives will never be the same,” McHenry County Judge Vincent Michael Feetterer said Myers Wednesday to a packed courtroom during a sentencing hearing.

Feetterer said although he considered all factors in determining an appropriate sentence for 45-year-old Vincent Myers, the most prominent one was ensuring the punishment deterred others from committing similar crimes in the future.

In recognizing that this was not Myers’ first drunken driving offense, Feetterer

“Now I can’t really carry my son without putting on a piece of metal.”

Juan Martinez and his son, Esteban Martinez, 2, go for a walk Oct. 16, 2015, near their Lake in the Hills home. Martinez was fixing his broken-down motorcycle with two friends when they were struck by a drunken driver.

“Life has become so hard. From the poor decisions of Vincent Myers, my life has forever been changed.”

also found the offense was committed because of the addiction, abuse or use of alcohol.

Myers faced up to 12 years in prison or probation after he pleaded guilty in January to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence. He is required by law to serve 85 percent of his sentence.

He was charged with his third DUI in the early-morning hours of Sept. 6, 2015, after he drove drunk and struck two men with his 2012 Lincoln MKZ who were stopped on the side of the road fixing a broken-down motorcycle.

Lake in the Hills residents Juan Martinez and Zac Feltman were fixing a motorcycle in the left turn lane traveling west on Algonquin Road, west of Pyott Road. A friend of theirs, Brandon Dominguez, had his car parked behind the motorcycle, and Martinez and Feltman were standing at the trunk looking for tools when Myers struck them and the vehicles, authorities have said.

The two men were taken to area hospitals after suffering serious injuries.

Dominguez was uninjured in the crash, but he testified Wednesday that the events that night changed his life forever.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard argued that Myers should be sentenced to prison based on his poor choices, lack of control and failure to learn from his previous mistakes. Lenhard said a sentence of probation would “deprecate” the seriousness of the offense.

Martinez had his left leg amputated 2 inches above the knee just days after the crash. More than 18 months later, he told the court he struggles to play and interact with his young son because of his injury.

“Now I can’t really carry my son without putting on a piece of metal,” Martinez said tearfully, referring to his prosthetic.

The 27-year-old said that before the crash he lived an independent lifestyle and made good money working with his father at their family business. He had everything anybody at his age wanted, but it all was taken away in a split second after the crash, he said.

“You really threw a wrench in my gears,” Martinez said, adding that no one deserves to go through what he went through, not even Myers.

Aras Tijunelis, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who treated Martinez, said his injuries will present challenges he will have to work to overcome for the rest of his life.

Feltman fractured both of his legs in the crash and remained in the hospital for nearly two months under constant supervision by family members and loved ones. When he was released from the hospital, his parents, Lisa and Mark Feltman, learned to be nurses for their 18-year-old son.

“No parent wants to watch their child suffer,” Lisa Feltman said.

Two years and 16 surgeries later, Zac Feltman has made progress, but he still has a broken right leg and could require more surgeries in the future. The life he

is living is nothing like the one he enjoyed before the crash, he said.

After graduating from high school, Zac Feltman got a job with Chicagoland Exteriors, where he was promoted five times in the first few months he worked there. Life had fallen into place just as he had hoped it would, he said in a written statement. After the crash, he tried to return to work, but was unable to continue as a salesman and struggled with the pain from his injuries every day.

“Life has become so hard,” Zac Feltman wrote. “From the poor decisions of Vincent Myers, my life has forever been changed.”

Myers’ attorney, Dan Hofmann, turned to the family of Zac Feltman and Martinez and apologized for everything they had been through. He recommended his client be sentenced to probation so he is able to make amends to the family, or two years in prison, so he has a chance to return to society.

Myers’ work supervisor and family friend spoke on his behalf and characterized him as a hard worker who cared deeply about his family. His girlfriend, Tara Gruber, described him as a passionate, selfless person, and said the two live together in Hampshire with her daughter. She said Myers has recently lost his Lake in the Hills home because of his financial struggles.

“There is not a night that has gone by that I wish I couldn’t take back that night,” Myers said when given a chance to address the court.

By Gina Kraman While some people dream about “losing weight without even trying,” it may indicate a health problem, especially for senior citizens.

“Some gradual weight loss over several years may be normal as we get older. The slight weight drop may be partly due to a loss of lean mass.

Or you may not be eating as much. Maybe your appetite is not what it was in your younger days. Others just don’t enjoy food as much because they don’t smell or taste it as well. But if you’re not trying to lose weight, and you see dropping numbers on your scale, you could have a problem,” explains the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

“Unintended weight loss can increase your risk for infections, due to lowered immunity; falling, due to weak muscles; or the presence of a more serious health problem.”

AARP adds, “Doctors consider weight loss a problemifyoulose5to10percentofyourweight over 1 to 12 months without trying. Weigh

yourself about twice a month to track a trend.

“A top reason for weight loss in older adults is medication, which can lower appetite. Some prescription drugs can also interfere with taste, and cause dry mouth. Digestive problems can interfere with how you absorb food, even though you may be eating enough.”

AARP lists other medical issues causing weight loss and appetite problems including cancer; heart failure; an overactive thyroid, which causes the body to burn an excessive number of calories; and dementia, which complicates meal preparation.

Dental problems, swallowing difficulties, abdominal pain, nausea, bowel issues, alcohol abuse, and depression can discourage eating, and lead to unintentional weight reduction.

Healthcare providers can diagnose and help solve the problem, which could include eating smaller meals more frequently, supplementing with nutritional drinks, stocking up on easy-to-eat finger foods, and scheduling meals with family or friends.

great-grandchildren, they traveled extensively with many trips back to Holland to visit family and friends. They also did several cruises, with Alaska being a favorite. Nelly and Hubert have been longtime supporters of The Loyal Order of Moose and their Mooseheart Child City and School. They were very devout Catholics and long time parishioners of St. Margaret Mary Church in Algonquin, where they belonged to the Ever-So-Young Seniors Group ~ a place where they would enjoy and socialize with dear longtime friends.

She was extremely resilient and adaptive to the challenges God presented to her. She was an incredibly devoted caregiver to her husband, and when faced with her own health challenges, she’d roll with the punches. Her desire was to always stay in her home, which her kids helped make possible, including John who stayed with her full-time in her last six months. She would receive communion at home. She loved laughing and would not tire of watching the Golden Girls, Raymond, Reba, Andy Griffith over and over again! Mom was an avid reader. She was even progressive in her later years, spending time cruising the internet, which included listening to her favorite Dutch orchestra leader, Andre Rieu.

Mom was a strong woman, yet a lady’s lady who loved hair in place and getting dressed up every day, right down to her jewelry.

Nelly was so loving, kind, nurturing, patient, humble and generous. She had a great sense of humor. And when facing challenges, she was one of the strongest individuals beyond compare ~ in body, mind, and soul. We will greatly miss your physical presence dear Mom, Mother, Mama, Oma (grandmother), Sister, Aunt, Friend, although we know that your Spirit is always near, we look forward to seeing you again when we join you in God’s heavenly domain.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY –Do your best and leave nothing to chance. Strive to go above and beyond what’s expected of you if you want to get others to recognize what you are capable of doing. Bring about change, but do so with class, dignity and facts. Make this a year to remember.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Once you set a goal, it’s a matter of putting your plan in motion. Your vision will be spot-on, and your ability to follow through unprecedented.

Romance is highlighted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Attend a function that is geared toward education and you will discover a way to expand your expertise and

diversify your professional options.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Focus on what you can get done without the help of others. Physical labor or exercise will ease your stress and help you put emotional matters in perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Beautify your surroundings and pay more attention to the way you present yourself. A trendy new look will lift your spirits and encourage you to participate more in community events.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Question what others ask of you. Don’t feel sorry for someone trying to take advantage of you. Stay focused on your responsibilities and doing the best you can.

you love is favored. Making a physical change will boost your confidence and result in compliments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Check out your options, but don’t walk away from one situation until you have a secure hold on where you are heading next. Impulse will lead to

uncertainty. Follow your intuition.

Nurture an important relationship by sharing your plans and feelings. Romance is encouraged.

Chicago looks to New York for policing ideas

By DON BABWIN and COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Even before President Donald Trump tweeted a threat to send “in the Feds” to curb Chicago’s gun violence, he was saying on the campaign trail that there was a simple solution to the bloodshed: police should get tougher. Chicago should follow the lead of New York City, Trump’s administration has said, and crack down on even the smallest offenses.

It turns out Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson visited the New York Police Department weeks before the Trump administration advice. But what he gleaned from a city that has achieved long term success in fighting crime was more nuanced than a Trump-inspired police crackdown.

Johnson came home with ideas aimed at increasing community trust by using technology to get Chicago police officers out of their squad cars, and putting new cadets in neighborhoods to walk the streets and talk to locals.

“We are only as strong as the faith the community has in us,” Johnson said.

Gaining that community trust will be a tall order in a city suffering from a toxic brew of rising violent crime

Mumps outbreak declared at Barrington High School

BARRINGTON – Health officials have declared a mumps outbreak at a suburban Chicago high school after confirming a third case among its students.

The Lake County Health Department said it has nearly 20 suspected mumps cases at Barrington High School, along with an adult from Lake Zurich and a Libertyville High School student.

Those cases come as the U.S. is in the midst of one of the largest mumps surges in decades, with schools and college campuses in many states contending with outbreaks.

The Daily Herald reported Barrington school district Superintendent Brian Harris said fewer than 10 of the school’s some 3,000 students don’t have

Prom dress rules lead to body shaming accusation

ROCKFORD – A Rockford high school is being accused of body shaming after releasing guidelines on how girls should dress for the prom.

Boylan Catholic High School in Rockford has issued a 21-page rule book – complete with pictures – on what is and isn’t acceptable at this year’s prom.

But the guidelines have ruffled feathers with a line that reads: “Some girls may wear the same dress but due to body types, one dress may be acceptable while the other is not.”

Body image and media expert Robyn Goodman of the University of Florida told the Rockford Register Star that line supports discrimination and body shaming because girls don’t have a choice on how their bodies are made.

Judge: Comptroller may choose funds from which to pay state workers

SPRINGFIELD – A judge has ruled that the Illinois state comptroller may direct which accounts should be used to pay state employees.

Democratic Comptroller Susana Mendoza reported late Tuesday that St. Clair County Circuit Judge Robert LeChien ruled against Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. She may decide how to pay 600 employees.

Rauner wanted the Department of Central Management Services workers paid from general revenue. But there’s a two-year budget stalemate and no appropriations for that fund.

Mendoza indicated they should be paid from the agency’s garage and maintenance funds. Mendoza said those funds have $93 million available.

Rauner’s office didn’t immediately comment Wednesday.

ward and give us the information so we can put these bad guys in jail,” Johnson said.

In one example of Chicago’s dilemma, the police department is struggling to draft a new policy on the use of force.

An October proposal prompted concern from the police union that the restrictions were so tight officers would put themselves in danger to comply. A new draft released Tuesday would give police more latitude in deciding when to fire their weapons, which pleased the police union but prompted concern from community activists about excessive force.

All this is a sharp contrast with New York, where the NYPD during the 1990s turned to the “broken windows” policing strategy of cracking down on minor offenses championed by then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. That policy helped drive the number of homicides down in one decade from more than 2,200 a year to fewer than 700.

Since then, the number of homicides in New York has continued to decline. In January the police department announced that there had been a near record low 335 homicide in 2016 – less than half the tally in Chicago, which has less than half the population. And New York has done this with a lighter policing touch.

Madigan pushes to banish statute of limitations on child assaults

CHICAGO – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, citing the actions of former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, is pushing for the elimination of statutes of limitations on child abuse and assault crimes.

Madigan on Tuesday testified before the Senate Criminal Law Committee in support of Senate Bill 189, which the committee passed and sent on to the full Senate for consideration. She said children who suffer sexual assault and abuse often spend a lifetime recovering from the violations.

Madigan said Hastert inflicted “unbelievable pain” on the youth he molested at the school where he coached wrestling before entering politics. She added he only got a “slap on the wrist.”

The 75-year-old is serving a 15-month sentence in federal prison for violating banking laws as he sought to silence one of his victims with hush money.

BOSTON – FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday he plans to serve his entire 10year term, even as controversy swirls over his attempt to rebut President Donald Trump’s claim that the Obama administration tapped his phones during the election.

“You’re stuck with me for another 6½ years,” Comey said during a cybersecurity conference at Boston College.

Comey was appointed 3½ years ago by then-President Barack Obama.

Controversy erupted last weekend after Trump tweeted that Obama had tapped his phones at Trump Tower during the election.

Trump offered no evidence of his claim. Comey asked the Justice Department to publicly reject the allegation as false.

Industry, consumer groups oppose health bill, Ryan seeks unity

By ALAN FRAM and RICARDO ALONSO ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Pivotal industry and consumer groups mounted intensifying opposition to the Republican health care bill as GOP leaders labored Wednesday to rally a divided party behind their high-stakes overhaul drive. Lawmakers cast Congress’ initial votes on the legislation as House Speaker Paul Ryan praised the proposal as “what good, conservative health care reform looks like.”

The American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association and AARP, the nation’s largest advocacy group for older people, were arrayed against the GOP measure. Seven years ago their backing was instrumental in enacting President Barack Obama’s health care statute, which President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are intent on erasing.

The hospitals – major employers in many districts – wrote lawmakers complaining about the bill’s cuts in Medicaid and other programs and said more uninsured Americans seem likely, adding, “We ask Congress to protect our patients.”

Groups representing public, children’s, Catholic and other hospitals also expressed opposition.

Early Wednesday, leaders began pushing the legislation through two committees – Ways and Means, and Energy and Commerce – but as nighttime set in neither panel seemed near final approval.

GOP leaders faced rebellion within their own ranks, including from conservative

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas (left) listens Wednesday to the committee’s ranking Democratic member, Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., on Capitol Hill in Washington as the committee began markup of the long-awaited plan by Republicans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. lawmakers and outside conservative groups. Top Republicans knew if the upheaval should snowball and crush the legislation it would be a shattering defeat for Trump and the GOP, so leaders hoped passage by both House committees would give them momentum.

In words aimed at recalcitrant colleagues, Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters: “This is what good, conservative health care reform looks like.

It is bold and it is long overdue, and it is us fulfilling our promises.” The last was a nod to campaign pledges by Trump and many GOP congressional candidates.

Outnumbered Democrats used the panels’ meetings for political messaging, futilely offering amendments aimed at preventing the bill from raising deficits, kicking people off coverage or boosting consumers’ out-of-pocket costs. They tried unsuccessfully to insert language pressuring President Trump

to release his income tax returns, and failed to prevent Republicans from restoring insurance companies’ tax deductions for executive salaries above $500,000 – a break Obama’s law killed.

There were signs of growing White House engagement, and perhaps progress.

Trump met at the White House late Wednesday with leaders of six conservative groups that have opposed the GOP legislation, and several voiced optimism afterward.

“I’m encouraged that the president indicated they’re pushing to make changes in the bill,” said David McIntosh, head of the Club for Growth, although he provided no specifics.

Underscoring Trump’s potential impact, Energy and Commerce Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., said of GOP holdouts, “A lot of them, they maybe haven’t felt the inertia that comes with Air Force One landing in their district.”

Women go on strike to show economic clout

By ERRIN HAINES WHACK The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Many American women stayed home from work, joined rallies or wore red Wednesday to demonstrate how vital they are to the U.S. economy, as International Women’s Day was observed with a multitude of events around the world.

The Day Without a Woman protest in the U.S. was put together by organizers of the vast women’s marches that drew more than 1 million Americans the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The turnout on the streets this time was much smaller in many places, with crowds often numbering in the hundreds.

There were no immediate estimates of how many women heeded the call to skip work.

“Trump is terrifying. His entire administration, they have no respect for women or our rights,” said 49-yearold Adina Ferber, who took a vacation day from her job at an art gallery to attend a demonstration in New York City. “They need to deal with us as an economic force.”

The U.S. event – inspired in part by the Day Without an Immigrant protest held last month – was part of the U.N.-designated International Women’s Day. In Warsaw, thousands of women showed Poland’s conservative government red cards and made noise with kitchenware to demand full birth control rights, respect and higher pay.

In Rome, hundreds of women

Thousands marched in Istanbul, despite restrictions on demonstrations imposed since last year’s failed coup. Turkish police did not interfere.

Women also held rallies in Tokyo and Madrid.

Germany’s Lufthansa airline arranged for six all-female crews to fly into Berlin. Sweden’s women’s soccer team replaced the names on the backs of the players’ jerseys with tweets from Swedish women. Finland announced

a new $160,000 International Gender Equality Prize.

A crowd of about 1,000 people, the vast majority of them women, gathered on New York’s Fifth Avenue in the shadow of Trump Tower. Women wore red and waved signs reading “Nevertheless she persisted,” “Misogyny out of the White House now” and “Resist like a girl.” Thirteen people were arrested for blocking traffic, police said.

School in such places as Prince George’s County, Maryland; Alexandria, Virginia; and Chapel Hill, North

Carolina, canceled classes after hundreds of teachers and other employees let it be known they would be out. In Providence, Rhode Island, the municipal court closed for lack of staff members.

In Washington, more than 20 Democratic female representatives walked out of the Capitol to address a cheering crowd of several hundred people.

Dressed in red, the lawmakers criticized efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi encouraged more women to go into politics, saying, “You have marched for progress. Now you must run for office.”

A few hundred people gathered on the lawn outside Los Angeles City Hall to rally for women’s rights. Julie D’Angelo took the day off from her job in music licensing, saying she wanted to stand for those women who can’t afford time away from work or are too intimidated to ask for the day off.

Hundreds of women dressed in red and holding signs with photos of their local lawmakers gathered at the Utah Capitol to remind legislators they are closely watching how they handle women’s issues.

In Denver, several hundred people marched silently around the state Capitol. Kelly Warren brought her daughters, ages 3 and 12.

“We wanted to represent every marginalized woman whose voice doesn’t count as much as a man’s,” said Warren, a sales associate in the male-dominated construction industry.

U.S. general says Russia has deployed banned missile

By ROBERT BURNS

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A senior U.S. general on Wednesday accused Russia of deploying a land-based cruise missile in violation of “the spirit and intent” of a nuclear arms treaty and charged that Moscow’s intention is to threaten U.S. facilities in Europe and the NATO alliance.

“We believe that the Russians have deliberately deployed it in order to pose a threat to NATO and to facilities within the NATO area of responsibility,” Gen. Paul Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a House Armed Services Committee hearing.

Selva said he sees no indication that Moscow intends to return to compliance with the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty,

which bans an entire class of weapons – all land-based cruise missiles with a range between 310 and 3,410 miles. The treaty was a landmark in arms control in the final years of the Cold War. Selva’s accusation takes on added political significance in light of President Donald Trump’s stated goal of improving relations with Russia, even as Moscow is perceived by U.S. allies in Europe as a military threat of growing urgency.

The alleged treaty violation comes amid multiple congressional investigations of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The FBI also is probing ties between Russia and Trump associates during the campaign.

Trump has said little about the INF treaty but on multiple occasions has questioned the value of a sep-

arate, more recent treaty that limits the number of strategic nuclear weapons the U.S. and Russia can deploy to 1,550 warheads each, starting in 2018.

Trump has said it unfairly advantages Russia. And he has said the U.S. should expand its nuclear weapons capability, although he has not explained what he meant.

Even before Trump’s election, the Pentagon was weighing implications of a shift in Russian nuclear doctrine that seems to lower the threshold for the combat use of nuclear weapons.

The Russians have framed their new thinking as “escalate, to de-escalate,” meaning possibly using a small number of nuclear weapons to persuade an opponent not to escalate the conflict and possibly lead to all-out nuclear war.

“We have to account ... for what that means,” Selva said Wednesday.

“We’ve begun an investigation of a series of potential strategy changes,” he said, in part by conducting war games and military exercises.

The Obama administration had hoped to talk Moscow into returning to compliance with the INF treaty but seemed to make no progress. Russia has claimed U.S. missile defenses violate the threat. Asked how the U.S. might respond now that Russian cruise missiles are deployed for potential use, Selva said the military is preparing a set of options to be considered this year by the Trump administration as part of a broader nuclear policy review.

Selva said he could not publicly discuss those options. When pressed he said the plan is to “look for leverage points to attempt to get the Russians to come back into compliance,” adding, “I don’t know what those leverage points are.”

On Wednesday in Washington, House Speaker Paul Ryan defended the bill, casting it as the only proposal in Congress that advances the GOP’s long-promised goal of repealing and re-

placing the 2010 law. In addition to the doubts among GOP governors, members of Ryan’s own caucus described the speaker’s attitude as a take-it-orleave-it approach to a proposal that does not do enough to reduce government spending.

CARSON CITY, Nev. – Republican governors complain that a GOP proposal to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law would force millions of lower-income earners off insurance rolls or stick states with the cost of keeping them covered.

Governors, especially those from political battleground states, were generally cool to the bill put forth in the Republican-controlled U.S. House.

Some signaled that they would continue working on their own legislation to compete with the measure introduced Monday.

“We’ve said all along, ‘Work with the governors,’ that it should be a governor-led effort and for the Congress to rely on the governors,” Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said Tuesday. “Well, they came out with their own bill, which doesn’t include anything that the governors have talked about.”

Republican governors lead 33 states, across all regions, and represent states pivotal to President Donald Trump’s victory in November, including much of the upper Midwest. Their role in the health care debate could

icisms is that the House plan would jeopardize coverage for roughly 11 million people covered through the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion. The law allowed states to expand Medicaid to cover more low-income individuals and their families at costs borne largely by the federal government.

Phasing out the federal supplement for Medicaid would hit hardest in states where governors chose to participate in the expansion, such as Michigan, Nevada and Ohio. The House bill’s provision to shift the federal Medicaid commitment to those states would shrink the number of people eligible for coverage and require states to drop people from coverage or risk incurring huge costs rapidly to keep them enrolled.

“Phasing out Medicaid coverage without a viable alternative is counterproductive and unnecessarily puts at risk our ability to treat the drug-addicted, mentally ill and working poor who now have access to a stable source of care,” said Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.

Michigan, Nevada and Ohio alone have added a combined 2 million to Medicaid’s enrollment since that part of the law took effect in 2014.

Illinois senators, don’t give up If it were up to us, we probably would not have called the “grand bargain” introduced in the Illinois Senate “grand” or a “bargain,” because frankly, it is neither majestic nor one heck of a deal. We would have opted for a descriptor along the lines of “an urgent understanding.”

Regardless of what it’s called, the intent behind the 12 interlocking bills was noble – and desperately needed. These measures are the product of the determination, true bipartisanship leadership and sheer guts shown by Senate President John Cullerton and Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno.

Cullerton, a Democrat from Chicago, and Radogno, a Republican from Lemont, provided a rare demonstration of cooperation in the Statehouse.

Exhausted by the bickering and meetings with top leaders that went nowhere, and frustrated that Illinoisans continued to suffer because of the absence of a state budget for more than a year and a half, the Senate’s leaders changed the playbook. They purposely left Gov. Bruce Rauner and House Speaker Michael Madigan out of the discussion as they started to craft a spending plan where no one would get everything they wanted.

The plan would include a cornucopia of items: school funding reform, expansion of gambling, changes to procurement, borrowing to pay off the more than $11 billion in unpaid bills, an increase in the income-tax rate, a temporary property tax freeze, workers’ compensation reform and more.

The January announcement of the plan provided the start of the new General Assembly with much-needed positive energy, especially as the stopgap budget had just ended and universities, businesses and social service agencies were back to not being paid. After votes were put off several times, the Senate on Tuesday passed five of the measures.

And then came Wednesday, when it appeared to fall apart. Radogno told Cullerton there would be “very little if any Republican support other than herself” for the remaining measures. Cullerton said Republican support had dissipated because Rauner “decided to interject himself in this process.” Cullerton saw no point in calling the bills, which he described as tough votes that needed support from both parties, just to see them defeated. Rauner’s office said progress had been made in the Senate but more work was “needed to achieve a good deal for taxpayers.”

Not surprisingly, Senate Democrats were furious.

It would be understandable, but predictable, if they are unwilling to work again with Republicans on a compromise after last week’s events fractured trust.

On behalf of Illinois’ taxpayers, we implore Cullerton and Radogno to not give up. No one else has been willing to work on the difficult task of compromise.

While most politicians under the dome view compromise as defeat, Cullerton and Radogno embraced it as a path toward fiscal stability and hope for the state.

Media ban: A gift to tyrants everywhere When President Donald Trump called the U.S. news media “the enemy of the American People” and brandished the moniker “fake news” at reports he didn’t like, tyrants everywhere perked up.

They heard the president say exactly what they have been saying about nettlesome journalists who expose human rights abuses, corruption and rigged elections.

Trump’s remarks have a ripple effect overseas, signaling that the United States no longer will champion freedom of the press and expression. This will inevitably lead to more repression.

Cambodia, which last year sentenced a man to 18 months in prison for a Facebook post, was one of the first to seize upon Trump’s approach. A government spokesman, noting how the White House had barred several U.S. outlets from a briefing, warned Radio Free Asia and Voice of America about their news coverage, which is quite straightforward and therefore threatening to the gov-

ernment of Prime Minister Hun Sen. The spokesman declared, “Freedom of expression is subject to law and must respect the state’s power.”

Respect of state power and the ruling Communist Party is also what China demands in no uncertain terms from its news media, insisting they “have the party as their family name.” China’s propagandists have started to mimic Trump’s methods in news articles. The party’s leading newspaper, People’s Daily, denounced Western news coverage of a Chinese lawyer and human rights advocate who said he had been tortured by splashing a photo with the words “FAKE NEWS.” The paper said it was “fabricated to tarnish China’s image.”

In Russia, where press freedom has been corralled into a small space under President Vladimir Putin and the dark arts of propaganda and disinformation are well practiced, the Foreign Ministry has set up a new section of its

website for “fake news,” with a big red stamp of “FAKE” for reports that it does not like. Among those so branded was a New York Times article describing the new practice.

Trump has a personally contradictory relationship with the news media. He long has hungered for favorable coverage. But he appears to see the news media in strictly promotional terms, not as a mechanism of democracy to probe and criticize.

His behavior has global consequences. The press would not be free in Cambodia, China or Russia if a different U.S. president had been elected. But the United States has a long tradition of speaking out against crackdowns on the news media, and sometimes those interventions make a difference.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says that “American foreign policy must promote our core values of freedom, democracy and stability.”Does the president agree?

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

VIEWS Rich Miller months ago. The electorate may well be different by the time 2018 rolls around.

Also, an actual named candidate could do worse against Rauner. You can’t beat somebody with nobody.

The governor and his people have been saying for weeks that a tax on sugary drinks was only unpopular under the Statehouse dome with lobbyists and legislators. The two Senate leaders have said there is no way they can round up enough votes to include the tax hike in their grand bargain package, however. The Heart Association has been running a huge national ad campaign against sugar itself, and the issue appears to have caught fire.

The penny-an-ounce tax is backed by 62 percent of Democrats, 50 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents, according to the pollster. It’s supported by 60 percent of Chicagoans, although Cook County just instituted its own penny-an-ounce tax. 53 percent of suburban residents and 51 percent of Downstaters support the tax. 54 percent of whites, 54 percent of African-Ameri-

cans and 71 percent of Latinos back the plan, according to the poll. And after being read both positive and negative statements about the penny-an-ounce sugary drinks tax, support actually rose to 67 percent versus 32 percent in opposition. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The poll also revealed the public may be as divided about the budget as many rank and file lawmakers. When asked whether they preferred to continue along the same budgetary path without raising taxes, 38 percent agreed, while 44 percent said they supported “fixing the state’s budget with tax increases as part of that fix.” Eighteen percent either didn’t know or refused to answer.

Only 4 percent said raising taxes without spending cuts is the right way to go, while 35 percent said they prefer cutting spending with no tax hikes and 58 percent said they favored a mix of both spending cuts and tax hikes.

But not a single tax hike except the sugary drinks tax is supported, and a look at those poll results gives you a good idea why crafting and then passing a solution to this state’s horribly vexing dilemma is so darned difficult.

For example, a plan to raise the state income tax from its current level of 3.75 percent to 4.99 percent is opposed

by 66 percent, with 49 percent strongly opposed. Only 31 percent support that income tax hike, which is the backbone of the Senate’s grand bargain proposal.

A mere 12 percent strongly support the idea.

Lowering the overall sales-tax rate by a half a point and expanding that tax to food and medicine is opposed by 64 percent, while only 31 percent support it. Rauner voiced opposition to this idea during his budget address, and now you can see why. Forty three percent were strongly opposed.

Asked if they supported expanding the sales tax “to include taxing services like home repairs and landscaping,” a plan long favored by the governor, 60 percent were opposed while 37 percent supported it. Forty percent said they were strongly opposed.

The most unpopular idea tested, by far, was cutting Medicaid spending by “hundreds of millions of dollars, including coverage for low income seniors and children.” A whopping 78 percent were opposed to that idea, including 65 percent who were strongly opposed.

Only 19 percent were in favor.

Half of world’s oceans facing climate change effects

By CHELSEA HARVEY The Washington Post

More than half the world’s oceans could suffer multiple symptoms of climate change over the next 15 years, including rising temperatures, acidification, lower oxygen levels and decreasing food supplies, new research suggests.

By midcentury, without significant efforts to reduce warming, more than 80 percent could be ailing – and the fragile Arctic, already among the most rapidly warming parts of the planet, may be one of the regions most severely hit.

The study, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, uses computer models to examine how oceans would fare over the next century under a business-as-usual trajectory and a more moderate scenario in which the mitigation efforts promised under the Paris Agreement come into effect.

In both scenarios, large swaths of the ocean will be altered by climate change.

Nearly all of the open sea is acidifying because of greenhouse gas emissions. But the researchers found that cutting greenhouse gas emissions could significantly delay future changes, giving marine organisms more time to

migrate or adapt.

“Things that live in the ocean are used to regular variability in their environments,” said lead study author Stephanie Henson , a scientist at the National Oceanography Center at the University of Southampton in Britain.

“It gets warm in the summer and it gets cold in the winter, and species survive that kind of range in temperature or other conditions perfectly well.”

But she noted a warming climate could eventually cause changes in the ocean that have never happened before – hotter temperatures, lower pH or less oxygen than have ever naturally occurred. When this happens, some organisms may no longer be able to tolerate the changed conditions and will be forced to migrate, evolve as a species or face possible extinction.

There’s a large degree of uncertainty in the scientific community about how organisms will react. But there’s evidence to suggest major challenges ahead. Mass coral bleaching events in the past few years largely have been attributed to unusually warm water temperatures. Large-scale coral death on the Great Barrier Reef last year is thought to be strongly linked to climate change.

The researchers focused on four specific climate-influenced “drivers,” of marine ecosystems: temperature, pH, oxygen levels and how much food is available to a community.

Some parts of the ocean are already experiencing certain climate-driven changes beyond the limits of their natural conditions. The researchers note in the paper that 99 percent of the open ocean is experiencing a climate-driven change in pH, or ocean acidification.

The subtropics and the Arctic are also experiencing sea surface temperatures beyond their natural ranges. And these changes will only continue to spread.

Under a business-as-usual climate scenario, the researchers found an alarming portion of the ocean will be affected by changes in multiple drivers at once. By 2030, they projected, 55 percent of the world’s oceans will experience changes in more than one of these factors – temperature and pH, most commonly – beyond the range of natural variability. By 2050, this number rises to 86 percent.

The researchers focused on areas where multiple changes are occurring at once.

“We think that multiple different factors occurring at the same time

probably have different responses in the marine environment than just one factor at a time,” Henson said. “So, for example, the combination of warming and ocean acidification may be even more detrimental than just one of those factors alone.”

The projections suggest climate mitigation can stall these effects – at least for a little while. Under the moderate climate scenario, the researchers found, 34 percent of the ocean will be affected by changes in multiple drivers, and 69 percent by 2050. In general, they concluded that climate mitigation can delay the onset of climate-influenced changes by about 20 years.

This delay could buy time for organisms to move or adapt to their surroundings, the researchers said.

Fast-moving fish may be able to migrate to more hospitable waters, while organisms with speedy generation times, such as plankton, may be able to quickly evolve to their changing environments.

According to a recent poll, Gov. Bruce Rauner is a whole lot less popular than a 1 cent an ounce state sales tax on sugary drinks.

The poll of 800 registered voters taken Feb. 15 to 20 for the American Heart Association found that Rauner is backed by only 32 percent against an unnamed Democrat, who would receive 47 percent. But a new penny-an-ounce tax on sugary drinks actually is supported by a majority of those polled, 56 percent, compared with 41 percent who oppose it.

“In the 2018 election for governor,” the Democratic pollster Anzalone Liszt Grove Research asked, “are you more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate or Republican Bruce Rauner?” 42 percent said they were more likely to vote for the unnamed Democratic candidate and another 5 percent said they leaned that direction, for a total of 47.

And now you know why the governor deposited $50 million in his campaign fund late last year.

Rauner’s dismal rating shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. He’s gone two years without many accomplishments and without passing, or even proposing a “real” budget. The 15-point Democratic margin is about the same margin that Hillary Clinton won Illinois by a few

BUSINESS

Businesses close as industrial areas rebuild

By SCOTT McFETRIDGE The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa – Leaning over the map, Brian Vincent turned to a city official and asked, “Why does it show a park instead of my business?”

The planner paused and then explained. Des Moines leaders had concluded that the park was a better use of the land than the low-slung building that had housed Corn Belt Aluminum for decades.

“I’m like, ‘Thank you for the 50 years I’ve been here,’ ” Vincent said.

Vincent was shocked by the exchange, but businesses across the country are landing in similar positions as cities remake gritty, industrial districts into trendy hot spots with glassy apartment buildings, coffee shops and microbreweries.

The transformations are a point of pride for growing communities but difficult for manufacturers and warehouse owners, who, after operating successfully for decades, sometimes now feel shunned by their new, more polished neighbors.

The cold shoulder feels especially chilly in the Midwest, a region that has long prided itself on an unassuming work ethic and a long, prosperous history of steel mills, factories and meat-packing plants.

In a part of Minneapolis-St. Paul known as the Midway, manufacturers have drawn complaints about noise and truck traffic from residents of new apartments built along a light

Teresa Van Vleet-Danos looks out a window Feb. 14 in the production area of the Rowat Cut Stone & Marble plant in Des Moines, Iowa. rail line that links the two cities.

Many warehouses and light industrial businesses have disappeared from Denver’s River North Art District. With real estate becoming so expensive, the few that remain likely will sell out.

And in the Milwaukee neighborhood called Walker’s Point, the trend has progressed to the degree that some people now are trying to retain some industry and older housing because, as University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee urban planning professor Carolyn Esswein put it, “If it’s suddenly all 12-story housing towers,

that doesn’t have the same feeling.”

Des Moines businesses are focused on the makeover of an area dubbed the Market District, which stands nearly in the shadow of the golden state Capitol dome and borders a trendy area of shops, hotels and bars called the East Village.

Planners envision replacing manufacturing buildings, warehouses and scrap yards with housing, offices and shops. It’s a dream that’s quickly becoming reality as sleek apartment towers, craft beer bars and even a design-your-own cupcake bakery open in the neighborhood.

Apart from state government and insurance firms, Des Moines has long relied on a blue-collar workforce that produced soap, steel and other goods in drab buildings in and around the city’s compact downtown. Most of those buildings have been renovated or demolished, making room for a sculpture garden, loft apartments and town houses. The businesses moved elsewhere.

The Market District will be one of the last industrial strongholds, and while Vincent said he likes the improvements, he’s puzzled why the city does not seem to value the well-paying jobs he provides for about 15 workers.

“It’s great they’re doing this, but then they go to the businesses and say, ‘Hey, you need to get out,’ ” he said.

A few blocks away, the encroaching development convinced Teresa Van Vleet-Danos to sell a 2-acre property and move her stone-cutting business, which was started by a Scottish immigrant who came to Des Moines to help build the Capitol and stayed.

Rowat Cut Stone & Marble has been at the same location for 138 years.

“I love this old building,” said Van Vleet-Danos, pointing out details of the cavernous wooden structure she’s owned for 32 years. “It has its own character, its own vibe.”

The company has until this summer to clear out. The weathered building will be knocked down and replaced with apartment towers.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Actress Laverne Cox has signed on to an ABC buddy-cop comedy pilot.

Variety and Deadline report that Cox will star on “The Trustee” as ex-con Amanda Jones alongside Meaghan Rath. “The Walking Dead” star Michael Cudlitz will play a police captain on the show.

Cox said on Instagram that she’s “excited and grateful” for the role.

The transgender actress was nominated for an Emmy for playing inmate Sophia Burset on Netfix’s “Orange Is the New Black.”

Lily Collins forgives dad Phil Collins in new book

AP file photo

Actress Scarlett Johansson (left) and her partner, Romain Dauriac, arrive at the 39th French Cesar Awards Ceremony on Feb. 28 in Paris.

Scarlett Johansson’s divorce filing prompts custody battle Scarlett Johansson’s husband was “shocked” by the star’s divorce filing and sees the move as a “pre-emptive strike” in a battle over custody of the couple’s toddler daughter, his lawyer said.

Johansson filed for divorce from Romain Dauriac in a New York City court Tuesday, saying the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” The move follows a January announcement that the couple split last summer after less than two years of marriage.

Johansson is asking for joint custody of their daughter, Rose, but also wants the child to live with her.

Dauriac’s lawyer, Hal Mayerson, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he and Dauriac were taken aback by the request because he has been the “primary parent” for Rose while Johansson has been involved with her career. Dauriac plans to petition the court to take the child to live with him in his native France, Mayerson said, adding that Johansson will have “access to her daughter any time she wants to come to Paris.”

“Mr. Dauriac is tired of having to run his life and his child’s life based on Ms. Johansson’s shooting schedule,” Mayerson said.

Johansson responded in a statement to the AP that she is a “devoted mother and private person” who knows her daughter will one day be old enough to read the news about herself.

“I would only like to say that I will never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage. Out of respect for my desires as a parent and out of respect for all working moms, it is with kindness that I ask other parties involved and the media to do the same,” she said.

The actress daughter of Phil Collins has forgiven him in her new book of essays.

In “Unfiltered,” Lily Collins wrote she forgives her father for “not always being there” when she needed and for “not being the dad” she expected. She added they can’t “rewrite the past” and it’s not too late for them “to move forward.”

Phil Collins and Lily Collins’ mother, Jill Tavelman, divorced in 1996, when Lily Collins was 7 years old.

Lily Collins was nominated for a Golden Globe this year for her role in Warren Beatty’s “Rules Don’t Apply.”

Her book was released Tuesday.

Phil Collins stepped away from music in 2011, three years after his third marriage ended in divorce. He said he wanted to focus on raising his two young sons and “to be a dad for the first time. A proper dad.”

Gigi Hadid photographs Zayn Malik for Versace

LOS ANGELES – Zayn Malik is starring in an ad campaign photographed by his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid.

The former One Direction singer is in the spring summer campaign for Versace’s Versus line. The photoshoot took place at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles.

Model Adwoa Aboah also appears in the campaign.

Malik said being photographed by Hadid for the shoot made it “extra special.”

Malik’s representative said the campaign images will be used both on social media and in print.

Actor Faizon Love pleads not guilty to assault charge

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Actor and comedian Faizon Love has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge after an alleged altercation with a valet at the Columbus airport.

Love pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Franklin County Municipal Court and was released on $2,000 bond. He was arrested Tuesday and jailed overnight after authorities alleged he argued with the 24-yearold man and assaulted him in a baggage claim area.

Authorities say Love grabbed the man behind the neck and threw him to the ground and into a desk, then pushed him down when he tried to get up. Video of the altercation was released Wednesday.

Defense attorney John Moore has said there was a disagreement over payment.

Love is scheduled to make appearances at a Columbus comedy club next week.

Family questions dad’s wishes Dear Doctor: Our dad insists that he doesn’t want any heroic or extraordinary measures taken if he gets really sick, and he wants one of us children to relay this message to his medical team. Should he have a living will?

Dear Reader: We’re verging into legal territory with this question, but as medicine continues to advance in its ability to prolong life, this is an important topic for each of us.

A living will refers to a class of legal document that an individual uses to specify his or her wishes for end-of-life medical care. These documents are also referred to as health care advance directives, or simply advance directives.

The idea of a living will comes up most often among the elderly, but in fact, people of all ages can use this document to state what they do and do not want to be done in the instance of a medical emergency. If the time comes that a person is unable to make medical decisions on his own behalf, then the living will speaks for him.

While your dad is correct that you or your siblings can communicate his wishes to his care team, this can place a significant burden on the family. Despite knowing a loved one’s wishes, making decisions with life-or-death consequences is not only a challenge, but can also be emotionally wrenching.

A living will often includes a health care proxy or power of attorney. This allows you to name the person who will communicate your wishes if you should become unable to do so yourself. It’s understandably easy for family members to become overwhelmed in the midst of a medical crisis, and to agree to medical procedures or lifesaving measures that the patient would not have wanted.

With a living will to address medical

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier specifics, and a health care proxy to name the person in charge of making decisions, those questions are addressed and a roadmap for treatment – or for withholding treatment – is clearly laid out.

What can this type of legal document address?

Everything from a person’s wishes regarding resuscitation procedures, ventilation techniques and diagnostic tests, to life-prolonging treatments such as CPR, dialysis, blood transfusion, the administration of food, water or drugs, palliative care and surgery. Some people use their living wills to state their wishes regarding dying at home, donating their organs for transplantation or offering their bodies to science.

Individuals who decide to create a living will often begin by speaking with their families about the scope and specifics of the document they want to create. It’s also common to consult with your physician, who can help to explain the choices you have and the decisions you are making.

A living will must be in writing and adhere to the legal requirements of the state in which it is being used. A lawyer can help you to create your living will, but it is not a requirement. Both the American Bar Association and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization offer links to state-specific forms.

heard of. Something called “parental alienation” sometimes happens in bitter divorces, when one parent poisons the children’s minds against the other. If I had to guess the reason for it in your case, it would be that your ex didn’t want the girls to know the reason for the divorce was her infidelity. There is nothing you can do about it now, because a mindset and a pattern have been set. Had you insisted on counseling for you and the girls when you realized the distancing was happening, you might have kept the lines of communication open. Things may improve one day when your daughters have children who are curious about meeting you, but in the meantime, for your own sake, please go on with your life and don’t dwell on your disappointment.

Dear Abby: I’m a 13-year-old girl who is blessed to have both sets of grandparents alive and healthy. Recently, my dad’s mother has become very quiet and reserved at social events.

She was never the “I need to talk to everyone” type, but at the last few family gatherings she wouldn’t involve herself in a long conversation with anyone. When my other grandparents tried to talk to her, her answers were curt and it was obvious she would rather not talk.

At first we thought it was because of my baby cousin, who cried nearly every time my grandmother held her. Thankfully, that has stopped. Other family members have noticed her behavior, and we are unsure of what may be causing it. – Silent Treatmet in New York Dear Silent Treatment: Your grandmother may be upset about something, and her refusal to talk could be her way of expressing her displeasure, or she may be having a personal problem she’s not ready to discuss. Because other family members have noticed and are commenting about it, your parents should tell your grandfather that the family is concerned and ask him for an explanation, because he may be in a position to shed some light on it.

am a father of two girls. Both of them no longer see, talk to or contact me. I’m divorced from their mother. She cheated on me after she went back to work and met a man she decided was her soul mate. That was 17 years ago. I haven’t talked to or seen my ex in all those years, and slowly both daughters distanced themselves from me until there was no relationship at all. On Father’s Day, my birthday or Christmas I never hear a word from either one. I tried numerous times to be a father to them. My youngest was recently married and didn’t invite me to her big wedding. I had been saving money over the years in case one of them needed help with a home or wedding.

I have to say I am hurt. What could I have done to be a father when they didn’t want me in their lives? I talk to people and they keep telling me stories similar to mine. Is this common? –

Hawks finally at full strength They beat the reigning Stanley Cup champion Penguins even though Artem Anisimov limped off the ice early in the second period.

They handled the Coyotes despite losing Niklas Hjalmarsson after only a handful of shifts. They beat the Islanders and the Predators without the red-hot Nick Schmaltz, felled by an illness.

They won with Ryan Hartman on the top line and on the third line. With Schmaltz as Jonathan Toews’ left wing and as Patrick Kane’s center. With Jordin Tootoo, Andrew Desjardins and Dennis Rasmussen playing musical chairs in the lineup. With Michal Rozsival playing 17 minutes and Brian Campbell playing 22 minutes. With Johnny Oduya and Hjalmarsson watching in street clothes.

Despite all the injuries, illnesses and interruptions that have affected the Hawks’ lineup these past couple of weeks, they’ve won 12 of 13 games. And when they take the ice Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, they’ll be at full strength for the first time all season.

“It’s obviously a very positive thing when you can switch guys in and out, when guys are hurt, when guys are stepping up, and moving up and down the lineup, and switching roles, and you’re still finding a way to come out with some wins,” rookie center Tanner Kero said. “And now to be at full strength, we’re excited to see what happens.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A ELGIN SECTIONAL

Eagles persevere

Jacobs defeats Hononegah in tight semifinal

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com ELGIN – Jacobs and Hononegah spent the entire night so close together not even a sheet of paper would have fit between them.

What the Golden Eagles wanted was just a little space, however small.

In one 43-second span, Jacobs found that sliver, which ultimately was all it needed.

Twice, the Eagles found cutters for wide-open layups because Hononegah was so focused on 6-foot-9 Cameron Krutwig during a crucial five-point run.

Despite some unsteady ballhandling and free-throw shooting in the final minutes, the Eagles held on for a 60-55 victory Wednesday night in the Class 4A Elgin Sectional semifinal boys basketball game at Chesbrough Field House. Jacobs (29-1) will play Larkin (19-14) at 7 p.m. Friday for the sectional championship.

“The determining plays in the game were when Cam was catching in the middle and getting assists to cutters,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “He only missed two shots tonight, but that’s how he can beat you. He made the winning plays by passing the basketball.”

Krutwig finished with 23 points on 11-of-13 shooting, 15 rebounds and four assists. It was his third sectional trip in four seasons and his first victory.

The Eagles never have played for a sectional championship before.

“We had that one stretch where they didn’t score and we scored every time down the floor,” Krutwig said.

“That’s kind of what won us the game.

It’s a big game to get through. There’s only 16 teams left in 4A. We just have to keep winning.”

The largest lead for both teams was five points. Jacobs never trailed after the third quarter but had trouble shaking the Indians (23-8), who kept answering. Jacobs guard Nik Balkcom scored on a layup with 3:50 left, then Krutwig hit Ryan Phillips going to the basket for another layup.

Mason Materna, who scored 13 points, added a free throw with 3:07 re-

It was anything but smooth from that point as the Eagles committed four late turnovers, yet they prevailed.

“The last couple minutes, we kept turning the ball over, giving them opportunities, but it came down to what we pride ourselves in most: That’s defense,” Materna said. “At the end of the game, we got stops when we needed to. We scrapped; we fought. That’s what we’re all about.”

Hononegah shot 57.6 percent in the first half, but the Eagles contested shots better and held the Indians to 22.2 percent (6 of 27) in the second half.

“We weren’t too solid down the

“And essentially those last couple minutes, we said, ‘Here’s the ball, try to score.’ We got it back, ‘Here’s the ball, try to score.’ Not ideal how we handled it down the stretch, but it’s another example of kids fighting their tails off.”

Jacobs made just enough free throws (5 of 9 in the fourth quarter) to hang on for the win.

“In the second half, a lot of those shots were contested,” Indians coach Mike Miller said. “With their length, those are tough shots. You have to give Jacobs credit. They’re a great defensive team, and they’re going to rebound every miss, so when we’re only going to get one shot at the basket, it’s tough for us.”

Balkcom scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Jacobs, which won on the boards, 38-23. Cooper Schwartz scored all six of his points in the fourth quarter, hitting a critical 3-pointer for a 51-48 lead with 4:27 to go.

Josh Donaldson led Hononegah with 15 points, and Max Miller scored 13 and grabbed 12 rebounds. Jackson Doyle added 13 points.

Borhart finished with 15 points and five rebounds. Volkening led all scorers with 24 points and also pulled in seven rebounds.

Glenbard South opened the game with a lead that stretched to as much as 14 points in the first half. Raiders 6-foot6 forward Charlie Bair had his way inside early, and Marengo made an effort to keep the ball out of his hands as the game wore on.

Volkening erupted for 11 points in the second quarter to pull within six by halftime, then the second half was a backand-forth affair.

Trailing by three points in the final minute, Volkening missed a 3-pointer from the right wing. Marengo big man Alejandro Rodriguez grabbed the rebound and scored to cut Glenbard

South’s lead to one.

On the other end, Bair made one of two free throws and Marengo corralled the rebound with 24.2 seconds on the clock, down by two. That’s when the Indians called timeout and drew up their final play. “[Borhart] has kind of taken second-fiddle to Mike all year, and deservedly so for Mike,” Wright said. “But he’s really kind of come into his own. He’s found opportunities to score that are good looks for him and not forcing it.”

Volkening had a hard time describing what he felt as Borhart’s shot went through.

“It’s crazy,” Volkening said. “As soon as he hit it, I’m like, ‘Wow.’ That’s a big shot. That’s a big shot. Craziness.”

For Glenbard South, Bair scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Peter Jeske led the Raiders with 17 points.

MAGIC 98, BULLS 91

Another 4th-quarter collapse proves costly to Bulls

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com ORLANDO, Fla. – A fragile, mercurial, consistently inconsistent Bulls team in dire need of development and chemistry is suffering growing pains of the worst kind – now it’s mental.

For the third time in five days and the fourth time in the past 10, the Bulls, playing without injured guard Dwyane Wade, lost in the most frustrating of ways again: They took a double-digit lead in the first half before faltering in the third quarter and all but collapsing in the fourth in a 98-91 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday at Amway Center.

Tied entering the fourth quarter – just as they were against the Pistons on Monday – the Bulls, shot 5 of 23 from the field in the fourth quarter, including 2 of 10 on 3-point shots. The Bulls (31-33) have lost four of their past five games – getting outscored by 21, 16, 18 and 17 points in the four losses. They have scored 18, 16 and 14 points in the fourth quarter of the past three. The Magic are 24-41.

“We got off to another slow start in the fourth quarter. Then it gets in our heads a little bit and becomes mental when you have this last week of fourth quarters like we have,” coach Fred Hoiberg said.

The eventual return of Wade, still re-

covering from a strained left quad, figures to help – although even he couldn’t stem the tide in similar recent losses to the Clippers and Nuggets. But the Bulls face a huge challenge in getting over this hump. They are tied with the Pistons (31-33) for the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the Bulls are only a halfgame ahead of the streaking Heat (31-34) and Bucks (30-33) and in danger of falling out of playoff position.

Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 21 points, but even he was caught in the undertow of the fourth-quarter malaise.

Butler was 0 for 5 from the field and had no points, assists, rebounds or steals in the fourth quarter.

GENOA – There wasn’t a defender within 10 or 15 feet of Marengo’s Blaine Borhart when he caught the ball.

Trailing by two points with seconds on the clock Wednesday, Indians guard Mike Volkening took a handoff on a double screen from Borhart and forward Alex Schirmer. Borhart’s defender followed Volkening for a double-team and Borhart leaked to the corner.

Borhart couldn’t have been more open, and Volkening found him.

The junior point guard’s 3-pointer rattled around the rim and in, giving Marengo a 50-49 lead with 4.6 seconds to play against Glenbard South in a Class 3A Genoa-Kingston Sectional semifinal.

Moments later, Glenbard South’s last-second attempt was off the mark, and the Marengo student section streamed onto the court.

“It didn’t feel great coming off [my fingers],” Borhart said of the shot. “But I trusted the shot, and that I was open enough to take the shot. I’m glad it went in. It’s amazing.”

Marengo (24-7) advances to play Sycamore at 7 p.m. Friday at Genoa-Kingston. A win would be Marengo’s first sectional title since the 1997-98 season. The Indians played in a sectional final two years ago, losing to Rockford Lutheran.

On Wednesday, the Indians never led by more than one point. Coach Nate Wright said the final play was drawn up for Volkening to have the ball in his hands with an option to kick to Borhart, exactly as it played out.

“I was assuming they were going to double off of somebody on Mike,” Wright said. “We thought, ‘Who’s our next-best

Frey resigns after 6 seasons as coach

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com Brad Frey made up his mind a long time ago.

That didn’t make Tuesday any easier for Johnsburg’s girls varsity basketball coach of six By the numbers years.

Frey, a part Brad Frey’s record as of the Skyhawks coach of Johnsburg’s girls basketball girls basketball team: program for 17 Year Record years, announced his resignation 2011-12 10-21 to his players in 2012-13 4-25 a meeting a day 2013-14 11-19 after the team’s 2014-15 20-10 awards night.

2015-16 28-4 He had informed 2016-17 25-9 assistant coach Total 98-88 Chris O’Niel and Johnsburg athletic director Tom Ross of his intentions before the start of the season.

“I knew this in October,” Frey said.

“None of this decision was based on anything that happened this year. If we would have went 5-20 or won a state championship, it was going down this way.

“I had decided in October, talking to

Brad Frey is stepping down after six seasons as Johnsburg’s head girls basketball coach.

Frey led the Skyhawks to a 98-88 record since taking over in 2011-12, going 73-24 over the past three seasons with two regional titles and a sectional championship. my family, that it was the right time. I kept it a secret, went out, and tried to win a state championship.”

Johnsburg finished 25-9 this season, going undefeated in the inaugural season of the seven-team Kishwaukee River Conference. The Skyhawks lost to Antioch, 65-29, three weeks ago in the Class 3A Johnsburg Sectional final.

Frey, a math teacher at Johnsburg, also was the boys golf coach for 12 years. He was the sophomore girls basketball coach for 11 years before taking over the varsity in 2011.

He has no plans of coaching basketball again but will continue to teach at Johnsburg, he said.

“It’s not a November to February kind of thing,” Frey said. “It’s all year long, and it was just the right time for me. This was my 17th year here. You do that, you do feeder stuff, you do a lot of coaching, and you do it because you love it.

“I still love it, but it will be nice on that first day of summer vacation to go fishing and do something besides getting up and spending eight hours in the gym. You get to a point in your life where you just want to take a couple of minutes for yourself ... and so that’s kind of where I’m at.”

Frey had a 98-88 record in six seasons, going 74-23 over the past three years and earning back-to-back regional titles in each of the past two. A year ago, Johnsburg won its first sectional title in six years and tied a school record with 28 wins.

The record-breaking season helped him earn the 2016 Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Coach of the Year honor. Johnsburg was 36-4 in conference play over the past three seasons, and this year the team captured its first conference title since 2010.

“It’s a tough loss,” Ross said. “He’s

a great coach, and he’s had great success with the those girls in the past two years especially. He’s been very successful. He brought great leadership, and he really united the program at all levels from the freshmen up to the varsity.

“He brought a great work ethic that led to the success of the girls, both in the classroom and on the court. He really did what we wanted him to do as a head coach, putting the best girls on the court regardless of their year in school.”

Before taking over the girls program, Frey was an assistant coach under Mike Toussaint, who became the boys head coach six years ago after coaching the girls team from 2000 to 2010.

“I already told Mike I would be his IT guy (next year), help put stats in,” Frey said. “That’s the goofy part of me. The math nerd in me just loves crunching numbers. I can’t get enough of it.”

Frey said he’s excited to see how the team performs next season, with only four graduating.

“I’m going to miss these girls,” Frey said. “The senior class was outstanding, and the rest of the crew is going to be great. This is a great position to walk into. I’m going to enjoy watching them, and seeing how they do next year.”

WOODSTOCK NORTH BOYS BASKETBALL

Ryan steps down to ‘spend time with my family’

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Woodstock North senior Vic Ortiz has one regret about his high school basketball career: that the Thunder never gave coach Steve Ryan a winning season.

“He’s one of the best coaches I was ever coached by,” Ortiz said. “He’s a great person and a great coach and has a lot of basketball knowledge.”

Ryan informed his players during their postseason banquet Tuesday night that he was stepping down after seven seasons as coach. He submitted his resignation letter to North administrators Wednesday.

Ryan took over as boys basketball coach in the 2010-11 school year, the second year North was in existence. His teams were 41-149 in his seven seasons.

“I decided to step away – my choice, my terms,” Ryan said. “I’ve done it for 22 years and decided I needed a break.

I still have the passion. I still have the desire. Right now, I just want to spend

Steve Ryan has resigned after seven seasons as Woodstock North’s boys basketball coach. time with my family, and I have my cabin in northern Wisconsin I want to utilize more. I thought it was the right time, and I needed to step down.”

Ryan, who teaches physical education at District 200’s Mary Endres Elementary School, previously coached McHenry County College’s men’s basketball team for nine seasons. He started his coaching career with two years at downstate Colchester as an assistant, then served as an assistant at Woodstock for four years.

“He’s been around almost since our program started here,” North athletic director Brady Stromquist said. “He’s been a key part of establishing a foundation of the program. In the (Fox Valley Conference) it was a tough go for a long time. I’m sure that was a tough battle to take on year in and year out.

He laid a good, solid foundation for us, and it’s something we’re able to build off of.”

Stromquist said he expects to have the position listed within a couple of weeks and hopes to have a coach in position by late May. Joe Conroy coached the Thunder the year the school opened. Ryan came in to a still-new program, one of the smallest schools in the FVC, often playing against schools twice its size. This year, the Thunder opened as a member of the new Kishwaukee River Conference.

“It [stinks] we were never able to get him a winning season because he puts a lot into everything with preparation,” Ortiz said. “He teaches us how to become better men, be respectful, how to

talk to people and the communications part of basketball. A lot about basketball is meeting people and the relationships you make.”

Ryan does not count out a return to coaching at some point.

“I’ll miss the players, the coaches, the daily communication you have with them, the preparation for games and practices,” he said. “I will miss that. Something’s got to give.”

Ortiz had Ryan as a teacher at Mary Endres Elementary and said he appreciates his ability to relate to students of all ages. Ryan heard from several people Tuesday night after telling his players.

“I got several calls from parents, former players and current players about different things we did together that changed their lives,” Ryan said.

“Things they learned off the floor.

That’s some of the proudest things that I like, because you’ve touched kids’ lives and you were able to make a difference with them.”

“Javy was so significant to the conclusion of last season. He’s going to be very significant this year and years to come.”

Another of Maddon’s catchphrases is that baseball can have a cruel way of sorting out things. Injuries, a hot streak or a cold streak can force the issue one way or the other.

Both Baez and Zobrist have one thing in common: versatility.

According to FanGraphs, Baez had 16 defensive runs saved among all five positions he played last year.

Zobrist played in 119 games at second base, 27 in left field, 24 in right field and one each at first base and shortstop.

Most players would love to settle at one position, but Zobrist has carved out a long career by being willing and able to play multiple positions. Maddon even has advocated for an all-star spot and Gold Glove award for “super-utili-

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Rodon throws 40 BP pitches; game action on hold

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Just wondering: Will we see Carlos Rodon on the mound in an actual game this spring? Or ever?

The White Sox haven’t shared the timetable for getting the 24-year-old left-hander his first start, probably because there isn’t one yet. Rodon is being brought along slowly after dealing with arm fatigue last season, his second in the Sox rotation, when he pitched 165 innings over 28 starts.

He threw 40 pitches of batting practice Wednesday, focusing on his fastball and changeup location, and will do something similar Saturday. After that?

“I think from that point we can safely assess how we’re going, whether it’s going to be one more BP or get back out there,”

He reported to spring training with the inside track on a starting job before hurting his right foot, a stress reaction that has kept him out of all games since.

Renteria still won’t say when the 24-year-old from Wilmette will be out on the field.

Tilson told the Sun-Times on Wednesday that by this time next week, he’ll be on the field for the real thing.

“For sure,” he said.

But then he added: “Well, or close.”

“Yeah, I’m frustrated,” he said. “You don’t want to keep seeing your boys out there and Tilson ‘getting ready to go’: you can’t be there to help them Charlie Tilson’s patience is out. It’s a frustrating feeling. wearing thin. Really, how But it’s still early. I keep reminding myself that it’s a long couldn’t it be?

The center fielder injured a season, and when I get that hamstring in his major league clearance and my body’s ready, debut in August and had to I won’t have to look back.”

manager Rick Renteria said.

Renteria did say Rodon likely will be in the No. 5 spot of the team’s rotation to start the season, if only because the meat of his spring workload had been pushed back.

“I’m in the rotation, so I know I’m going to be pitching in April,” Rodon said. “It’s spring training. We’re getting ready. People sometimes don’t realize that. The guys in the [batter’s] box are getting ready, and we’re getting ready. Spring training is just a time for us to get ready.”

Was there really any confusion about that?

Brewers (ss) 5, White Sox 4 (Glendale, Ariz.)

Making his first appearance in a game this spring, third baseman Todd Frazier hit a rope to deep left field for an out and struck out looking in his only two trips to the plate. The veteran played four innings in the field and handled his only two chances, both pop-ups.

Other notes from the White Sox’ 5-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers: FULMER SOLID ON MOUND Starting pitcher Carson Fulmer, who is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Charlotte but should make his way to the South Side before long, had a solid outing, working a pair of scoreless innings before

surrendering a solo home run to Lewis Brinson in the third.

SMOOTH ’SAIL-ING Have yourself a day, Avisail Garcia. The big fella had three hits, including a home run, and scored twice. Oh, and who says he’s not a good right fielder? A DH no more (we think), Garcia also made two excellent plays in right, one of them of the all-out-diving variety. Center fielder Adam Engel also made a beautiful diving catch.

When Cubs manager Joe Maddon makes out his daily lineup card, he has these options at second base: • The reigning World Series MVP and starter in the All-Star Game, a veteran with back-to-back world championships to his credit.

• The co-MVP of the National League championship series, a rising young star whose sleight-of-hand glove work has even veterans wondering, “How was that possible?”

Ben Zobrist is the veteran. Javier Baez is the upstart. They present Maddon with a nice problem, but they also present him with a challenge to find them enough playing time.

“I’m pretty sure we’re going to rotate a lot,” said Baez, who saw action at second base, first base, third base, shortstop and left field in 2016. “Wherever they put me, I’m just going to try to do my best.”

Maddon’s strength has been working all of his moving parts into the lineup, sometimes at multiple positions during any one game. He’ll have interesting options with the 35-year-old Zobrist and the 24-year-old Baez.

“We have to balance a lot of different things,” Maddon said. “[Baez] is going

around quite a bit this year.’

“You can choose to take a good attitude like he did and make the best of it.

And look what happened by the end of the year, how well he was playing and how important he was for us to win the World Series. That’s what happened for me in my career. It was like, ‘You want at-bats, you’re going to have to move around.’ And I did. You do it out of necessity, and then you realize after the fact how valuable it makes you as an individual.”

Both players had productive seasons at the plate last year. The switch-hitting Zobrist put up a line of .272/.386/.446 with 18 home runs and 76 RBIs. His 10th-inning RBI double in Game 7 of the World Series scored the decisive run in giving the Cubs their first World Series title since 1908.

Baez, who possesses prodigious power potential, produced a line of .273/.314/.423 with 14 home runs and 59 RBIs. Equally impressive, his strikeout rate has gone from 41.5 percent in 2014 to 30 percent in 2015 to 24 percent last year. He still is susceptible to breaking balls out of the strike zone, but the Cubs are banking that his plate discipline will improve with time.

Simple spinnerbaits work best for spring fish If I had to choose only one presentation to be throwing at northern Illinois’ spring fish, it would have to be a white spinnerbait. I’m not claiming to be a genius or a visionary here – a majority of area anglers are tossing these lures right now, and for good reason – they work.

A spinnerbait is basically a jig head that is formed onto the end of a V-shaped wire that has an elongated blade or a round blade at the other end.

The hook is surrounded by a plastic skirt. That is simple enough, isn’t it?

There are several variations, however. At the point of the “V” you can have a loop twisted into it, making an eye to put your line through, or it can be open. The eye keeps your line in place and doesn’t let it slip or tangle, and I prefer that particular put-up.

Also, you can buy spinnerbaits that have many different types and arrangements of blades on them. For spring fishing, I believe that the simplest arrangement is the best and usually just use a spinnerbait with a single blade. I usually use a small willow-leaf blade in the spring.

Size is another choice that has to be made. This time of year, I am usually targeting pond and lake bass, so a onequarter-ounce spinnerbait feels just right for me. This size also works well for spring northern pike in lakes and rivers. I’ll move up to three-eighths ounce or larger as the season progresses. Strike King and Booyah make some really nice one-eighth-ounce spinnerbaits for targeting crappies, if that is the species you are chasing.

In my chosen weight of quarter-ounce, there is a plethora of options available as far as brand goes. To be honest, as it’s simply a plain white spinnerbait, I am OK with just picking up a couple of the inexpensive generic spinnerbaits that local bait shops have hanging from racks that are unlabeled and do not come wrapped in any packaging. The drawback here is that the hooks are usually too dull for my liking. I need to get out my file and work hard to hone the hooks to a fine, ultra-sharp point before tying them on to the end of my line. You might prefer to save the time and just buy brand names that come with presharpened

SPORTS BRIEFS

Former NIU quarterback Lynch returns as Huskies’ RBs coach

DeKALB – Jordan Lynch is coming home.

The former Heisman Trophy finalist as a Northern Illinois quarterback was named the running backs coach for the Huskies, the school announced Wednesday.

Lynch finished third in the 2013 Heisman voting, the highest finish by a player in the

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley hooks.

That’s it. Just tie the spinnerbait onto your line and start casting. I don’t think it makes a difference as to the kind of line you choose. Monofilament or superlines work equally well.

The most important thing to remember is to retrieve slowly. Spring bass are just beginning to shake off their cold weather doldrums and develop their appetites. They don’t chase fast-moving targets.

Spring fish will be haunting the shallows, so the use of light baits that don’t sink too deeply are a great choice.

You can keep your bait higher in the water column in two fashions. One is by retrieving quicker. The second is by lifting your rod tip. Obviously, at this time of year, it is preferred to lift the rod rather than to reel more quickly.

If you want to try this, you can use a spinnerbait to make a buzzbait type of presentation by lifting the tip enough so the spinnerbait comes up to the surface and bulges the top of the water as it comes in. Varying a bulging retrieve with a standard retrieve often whets the appetites of spring bass.

If you retrieve too slowly and your spinnerbait hits the bottom of the pond or lake you are fishing, do not despair. Some anglers intentionally bounce a spinnerbait off the bottom as they bring it in. Sometimes when the spinnerbait hits bottom and stirs up the sand or silt, it gets the attention of a fish and causes it to strike.

Whatever your method, this is the time of year to tie on a white spinnerbait and get out there and catch some nice northern Illinois spring bass.

sure you hit the northern sides of lakes and ponds, especially those with dark bottoms. Rivers are producing some walleyes on jigs and minnows.” Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report.

Fox Chain and Lake Michigan: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice.com – 630330-0090) sends word, “The Fox Chain water levels are up from last week, and fishing will improve. Crappies and walleyes are the best bet on light jigs and minnows or plastics. Look for warmer water and current and fish will be nearby. Lake Michigan is still very good for brown trout and Coho salmon. Discharges and good water color have been the key. Jig and plastics and crank baits are working well. I still have some spring dates available.”

Chicago River: Capt. Pat Harrison (www.patharrisonoutdoors.com) just finished Week 2 of his season fishing the most incredible waterway in the Midwest. The Chicago River in downtown Chicago is yielding some nice gills and crappie. The bass are starting to get a bit more aggressive. He is taking 2- to 2.5-pounders right now, but as the water warms, the big boys will be out.

As of Wednesday, the Upper Fox River, Lower Fox River and the Fox Chain were deemed to be open for boating by the Fox Waterway Agency.

With our unpredictable weather, you should always get up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River. Go to www.foxwaterway. state.il.us or call 847-587-8540.

“LEGALLY BLONDE – THE MUSICAL”

Deanna Golema of Huntley, playing the role of Elle Woods, announces her new play during a Feb. 28 dress rehearsal for “Legally Blonde – The Musical.”

Michelle LaVigne – For Shaw Media

A rollicking good time had at ‘Legally Blonde’ REVIEWS Ernest J. Varga

Considering this year marks the 20th anniversary of the original Broadway release of the musical “Legally Blonde,” this TownSquare Players production had large shoes to fill, and did it in a stellar fashion. The production stole the hearts of the audience, including me, albeit political correctness definitely took a holiday from the start to the finish. Let’s hear it for the director and producer couple of Jeff and Karen Cook.

To paraphrase the old adage, and not necessarily throwing out a spoiler alert, the plot can be summed up with: Girl has guy. Girl loses guy. Girl get guy back, but refuses him, because she finds herself and others.

Credit needs to be given to the talent and casting of Deanna Golema in the lead of Elle Woods. Her singing, acting and dancing help make the production memorable. I hope to see her in future roles.

The ensemble and full cast not only round out the plot and production, but, in many cases, steal the moment and capture the audience with endearing and comedic lines, scores and actions. Watch for Jenny Bakakos in the role of beautician and Paulette Bounufonte, purveyor of a beauty salon, along with Alex Fayer, the Harvard Law School Professor Callahan.

The talents of Elle’s love interests, as portrayed by Joel Bennett (as Emmett

Forrest) and James Gritschke (as Warner Huntington III), perform their parts well.

To continue to list each of the fine performers involved – from the overall ensemble to the fellow students (both in college and law school) to all of the supporting roles of everything from the Greek Muses to the inmates, guards and delivery man – would be to reprint the program, and would not do justice to all of them.

I do want to add a comment about the two canine performers involved in the production. To paraphrase W.C. Fields, no actor should work with dogs or children for they will upstage the performers of the production. Although I don’t think I will say they went so far as to upstage the performers, Zoey (as Bruiser Woods) and Vinnie (as Rufus) did get their moments in the spotlight and the audience’s attention.

Choreography is something I always watch, and this production probably was quite the challenge. To choreograph everything from River Dance to Burlesque Bump and Grind to ’70s-, ’80s- and ’90s-style dancing to a Marimba dance line to a cross between a Jane Fonda/Richard Simons/ Zumba class took something quite innovative to accomplish. To get the performers to be able to accomplish this, in many cases in high heels, took something bordering on a minor miracle. Twice, I’ve taken up and succeeded in meeting such a challenge – first by doing a Jane Fonda workout (goaded by coed classmates while in college) and, secondly, in doing a Zumba class (goaded by my lovely wife). That’s why I truly saw those dance numbers as fantastic.

Lighting was nicely appointed throughout the production. It struck me as interest-

WHEN: Through March 19 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock.

COST & INFO: Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-GoldwynMayer motion picture. Schedule: 8 p.m.

March 10-11, 17-18; 3 p.m. March 12 & 19.

Tickets: $13 C seating, $18 B seating, $23 A seating. Tickets and information: 815-3385300 or www.woodstockoperahouse.com. ing it was in large part the lighting that moved Elle from UCLA to Harvard Law School. Watch for that effect.

The set design worked well through the use of an overall backdrop of a Grecostyle university, augmented as needed to transform the stage from a dance hall to a campus to a class room to a dorm room to a beauty salon to a jailhouse to a courtroom and to multiple clothier establishments.

Bravo to the set designers and fabricators.

Costumes covered the spectrum, and were well done. Sound always is a tricky process when it comes to the placement of portable and stationary hanging microphones. A few of the lines were lost due to other necessary production sounds, or perhaps a bit on the part of projection of the performers. Those lines were not integral to the plot, and could be filled in by the context of the next few lines.

I thoroughly enjoyed the production, and highly recommend everyone attend for a rollicking enjoyable evening. As I departed the Opera House, I followed a young couple holding hands and walking along the sidewalk, laughing and singing to each other the words from one of the musical’s well-known scores, “Oh My God…”.

THE NORTHWEST HERALD The Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake recently announced two shows slated for its spring season.

A heart-warming tragedy hits the Raue Center stage with performances of “Mud” at 3 and 6 p.m. May 6.

A provocative play by Cuban-born playwright Maria Irene Fornés,

“Mud” deals with the themes of illiteracy, poverty and hunger.

Revolving around three characters, “Mud” shows their codependency and their lives intricately entwined, as they all strive to make the best of their situations. “Mud” was developed by Studio Members

at The Actors Studio, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of actors, playwrights and directors.

This production of “Mud” is directed by Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons.

“Fornés is one of the most wellknown playwrights in both Hispanic-American and experimental theatre. She has won a total of nine Obie Awards, an amazing achievement,” Raue Center Executive Director Richard Kuranda said.

“We produced her extensively at Signature Theater, and I am thrilled to be able to bring in the team from The Actors Studio to present this piece, which explores not only the power of a strong female character, but also the immense power of poverty. It’s a remarkable piece of work, and, if you love theater, you won’t want to miss this incredibly unique experience.”

WHEN: 3:30 p.m. March 12 WHERE: Grace Lutheran Church, 1300 Kishwaukee Valley Road, Woodstock COST & INFO: A concert in remembrance and honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to celebrate his life and teachings through song, dance and spoken word, all presented by local artists. Free. Includes a free-will offering to benefit The Break teen center and Community Connections for Youth. Information: www.facebook.com/ music4martin.

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

To 15-year-old Becky Sargeant, Music4Martin offers the chance to sing a favorite song by her idol, David Bowie.

But it’s more than just entertainment for Sargeant and the nearly 30 others set to perform March 12 at the 15th annual event in remembrance and honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It’s about hope and the many ways King’s teachings can be applied today.

“I picked ‘Heroes’ because it’s a song about positivity through a rough time,” said Sargeant, a sophomore at Woodstock High School, where she changed her name to the more feminine Becky her freshman year to reflect being “gender fluid.” “It’s what Bowie represented, as being this icon not only in general in his music, but also being an icon for people who are gay or transgender or anything considered different.”

Sargeant, who came out to her parents as bisexual a couple years before changing her name, knows what it’s like to feel different.

“I feel very lucky because I’ve had very supportive parents and friends and a very supportive environment,” she said.

Yet, in today’s divisive times, she and others involved with Music4Martin say King’s beliefs need to be remembered

Megan Baker, 14, (left) and Chloe Scott, 16, of the Barefoot Dancers group in Woodstock, perform to the song “Down in the River to Pray” at a Music4Martin rehearsal.

John Konstantaras – For Shaw Media

now more than ever. King stood for peaceful protest, for compromise and hope, they say.

The importance of King’s message is why Ken West started Music4Martin years ago, and it’s always been reflected in the event, which includes musicians,

singers, dancers, artists and spoken word performers of all ages. It will feature soloists, bands and more, including a performance by the Woodstock Community Choir.

See MUSIC4MARTIN page 11

John Konstantaras – For Shaw Media

• MUSIC4MARTIN

Continued from page 10 The concert will be at 3:30 p.m.

March 12 at Grace Lutheran Church, 1300 Kishwaukee Valley Road, Woodstock.

A free-will offering will be taken during the concert, with proceeds going to The Break, a teen center serving McHenry County and based in Crystal Lake, and Community Connections for Youth, the organization that hosts the event.

“The show is always impacted by current events,” West said. “This year is no different. Yes, it’s somewhat more divisive and people are more energized, but the event has always reflected Dr. King and how what he said then still applies today. It’s always the point we’re making is that we can still listen to him and learn from him.”

The show’s musical director for nearly 10 years, George Muligano of Island Lake, a member of the band Funk City, is co-directing this year with Bob Diss. He’ll also perform on a few songs, including lead guitar for the Woodstock Community Choir’s performance of Pink Floyd’s “On the Turning Away.” It’s hard work putting the whole thing together every year, he said, but it’s rewarding, especially working with the younger generation.

“I think peace and brotherhood is the bottom line,” Muligano said.

“That is what it’s all about.”

West, who began Music4Martin

because of the impact King had on him as a child, always has strived to include people of all ages in the event, especially the youth. As the younger generation wanting to be a part of the Civil Rights movement years ago grew in numbers, the media no longer could ignore it, West said.

“I believe the gender gap is a myth,” he said. “If all these other things didn’t separate us, age shouldn’t either.”

Sam Jones of Woodstock became involved in Music4Martin nearly 10 years ago when her son, Jacob Goldberg, now 19, was asked to read a song introduction to the crowd. She said she’s in admiration of King and others who took part in the Civil Rights Movement.

Eventually, Jacob was introducing his mother’s performance. This year, she’ll sing “Land of Confusion” by Genesis, a choice she made when she came across the 1986 song while surfing the car radio.

“The lyrics are just so perfect right now,” she said. “I think we are in a land of confusion right now. We’re divided amongst each other politically, and how we feel about issues.”

Jones said she especially enjoys watching younger generations take part in Music4Martin every year.

“It’s not just to go out there and perform,” she said. “It’s to go out there and be part of this message to everybody.”

In ‘Skull Island,’ Kong drafted into Vietnam

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

Not since Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz in “Apocalypse Now” murmured of “the horror” has such a brooding beast lurked deep within a war-ravaged jungle as the King Kong of “Kong: Skull Island.”

Yes, the big ape is back, this time with a rollicking Vietnam War backdrop and the Creedence Clearwater-thumping soundtrack to match. The year is 1973, Nixon is pulling troops out of Vietnam and American explorer Bill Randa (John Goodman) has convinced a senator (Richard Jenkins) to bankroll a quick expedition on the way out to an uncharted South Pacific island where “myth and science meet.”

Unlike Kurtz, we don’t have to wait very long for our errand boys – a cobbled-together team lead by Lieutenant Colonel Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) – to encounter Kong on the exotic island.

No sooner has their swarm of helicopters penetrated the island’s permanently stormy perimeter is Kong swatting them away like flies, and the soldiers – fresh off the failed war – yet again find themselves in a gruesome quagmire.

What’s a gorilla got to do with Vietnam? Well, that’s the 800-pound metaphor in the room.

“Kong: Skull Island” is the latest in a long line of reboots going back to the 1933 original. The disappointment of Peter Jackson’s lavish but bloated 2005 attempt pushed pro-

“KONG: SKULL ISLAND” STARRING: Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson

PLOT: A team of explorers and soldiers travel to

an uncharted island in the Pacific, unaware that they are crossing into the domain of monsters, including the mythic Kong.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours

ducers to explore some other kind of evolution for the chest-pounding primate. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (whose only previous feature was the indie comedy “The Kings of Summer”) has uprooted the tale from its imperialist origins (beware of what you plunder abroad) and brought Kong in as a standin for the folly of Vietnam.

The shift, which follows a brief World War II preamble, gives “Kong: Skull Island” a strange and surreal energy.

An “Apocalypse Now” with monsters is about as bizarre a fit as you’d expect. It is, at least, not the cookie-cutter monster movie it might have been, and Vogt-Roberts – who fills his movie with napalm gas, a chattering Nixon bobble head and fireballs in dense jungles – gleefully plunges into his cartoonish, digitally rendered heart of darkness.

The result is at turns grim and goofy. “Kong: Skull Island,” penned

by Dan Gilroy, Max Borenstein and Derek Connolly, is never quite sure which it wants to be, but Vogt-Roberts is hav-

ing too much fun to care.

The team includes a British ex-spy (Tom Hiddleston, who tries to do little beyond handsomely smolder through the film), a self-described “antiwar” photojournalist (Brie Larson, mostly just running with the pack and, later, catching Kong’s eye) and a handful of Vietnam vets under Packard’s command.

The island, shot in Hawaii, is a verdant, mountainous paradise filled with not just Kong but other gargantuan creatures – a giant octopus, a long-legged spider – and, it turns out, John C. Reilly.

He pops up as Hank Marlow, a WWII pilot downed on Skull Island decades earlier, whose long years there have left him a little nutty.

There’s something here about the tragic sacrifices and wasted heroism of soldiers, used as pawns against the wrong foes. Jackson’s Packard – a bloodthirsty cowboy who wants to stay in the rodeo – takes the mission as a happy reprieve from the peace time he fears, but his infantry men wish they could just go home.

Whereas Reilly’s instinct is to lean into the movie’s absurdities, Jackson (in fine, full-throated form) solemnly readies for a mano-a-mano showdown with Kong. By then, it has turned out Kong isn’t the real enemy, but Packard is undeterred. When others want to call in the cavalry, he glowers: “I am the cavalry!”

Ultimately, the film’s Vietnam setting is less about warfare and history than finding an intoxicating canvas for a pretty old story. “Kong: Skull Island” is more about the monster clashes and, as the post-credit clip (a true commercial) proves, setting up future installments. A wider kaiju-verse is planned.

King Kong, like many before him, merely has been drafted into a war not his choosing.

‘Subtle,’ but still something

Area advocates cheer ‘Beauty and the Beast’ gay moment, reflect on controversy

In this image released by Disney, Josh Gad (left) and Luke Evans appear in a scene from “Beauty and the Beast.”

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com with wire reports In the grand scheme, area advocates have bigger causes to focus on than the fallout of what’s being called a “subtle gay moment” in a Disney movie.

At the same time, they say, if the character LeFou in Disney’s soon-to-bereleased live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast” truly has a gay moment, they’ll cheer him on.

“I say that’s great, go for it,” said Toni Weaver, the McHenry County chapter leader of PFLAG – Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays – and president of the PFLAG Council of Northern Illinois.

It’s a sentiment shared by Justin Peters of Crystal Lake, the president of McHenry County College’s Pride Club.

The club put the controversy stirring around “Beauty and the Beast” – set to open March 17 in theaters nationwide – on its Wednesday meeting agenda as part of a regular chat about current events.

“I’m surprised Disney hasn’t done something like this in the past,” Peters said. “They’ve always seemed to be more daring.”

To be clear: “Brokeback Mountain,” this isn’t.

The so-called gay moment is so brief one easily could miss it with an illtimed sneeze or glance away from the screen. And it may sail over the heads of young viewers, according to the Associated Press.

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

Mere word of it also was enough to lead one Alabama drive-in theater to cancel plans to show the film – apparently without having seen it.

“I would say it’s not the job of movie theaters to exercise censorships,” Weaver said. “Let the moviegoers decide whether or not they want to see it.”

The scene in question involves LeFou (Josh Gad), the timid and lovable sidekick to the preening villain Gaston (Luke Evans). Without spoiling too much, the Associated Press reports, it’s safe to say LeFou spends much of the film in Gaston’s thrall, and toward the

end also has a moment – a few seconds, really – where the same-sex theme is more overt.

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

Condon suggested descriptions of LeFou as the first Disney gay character went too far. “I keep saying it’s more like the first gay moment,” he said. “Because I think it’s a very fluid character.” The director added: “You can’t help but wonder in his adoration of Gaston ... [is there] something more going on?”

It’s one of many examples in recent years of a stronger gay presence in Hollywood and social media, Peters said.

And that’s a good thing, he said.

“The LGBT community is becoming more known to society,” said the 23-year-old Peters. “It’s not like it used to be back in the day when people didn’t know much about it.”

What’s disappointing, though, is the reaction of those opposing the movie, he said. It’s also rather silly, he said.

“It’s not even that big of a gay scene,” he said. “It’s very undertone.

It’s not like, ‘Hey, here’s a gay guy.’

People are making such a big deal of it.

It’s so sad we live in a society today to deny something because of an LGBT theme.”

The length of the scene – or scenes, since LeFou’s fluid orientation is hinted at elsewhere – is not what’s important, said Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, the LGBTQ media advocacy group.

“It’s a wonderful step forward,” she said. “And this is incredibly important for the youth of today. They need to see themselves reflected in the media they consume. More and more, as studios want to appeal to youth audiences, they’re going to have to include LGBTQ story lines and characters.”

Ellis noted in the annual GLAAD survey GLAAD on LGBTQ inclusion in movies, “we have struggled year after year to find any content in major studio films. We’re usually the punching bag or the laughingstock. So this is an enormous step forward for us.”

In the past, many have speculated on what they see as “coded” gay characters, or winking references to gay characters or themes in Disney and other youth-oriented films. Ellis said the difference here is “we’re moving from coded, where you have to put together the pieces, to this being in the spotlight ... It shows the direction America is moving in.”

A Facebook page that apparently belongs to the Henagar Drive-In Theatre in Henagar, Alabama, announced that the theater won’t be showing the film as planned because its operators

are “first and foremost Christians” and “will not compromise on what the Bible teaches.”

“If we cannot take our 11-year-old granddaughter and 8-year-old grandson to see a movie we have no business watching it,” the message said. Theater operators did not immediately respond to emails or phone messages to confirm the Facebook posting. The theater’s website continued last week to say the film was coming in March.

Audra McDonald, the Tony-winning Broadway actress who plays a tuneful supporting character in “Beauty and the Beast,” said she was “so honored” to be a part of the moment. “The thing is, Disney’s not doing anything all that revolutionary,” she said. “LGBTQ people have always existed, interracial couples have always existed. And now they’re shining light on it. So they’re just representing the world the way it actually is and I think that’s spectacular and necessary.” (Interracial couples also appear in the film.)

Evans said the scene in question was “about unity. It’s about never judging a book by its cover, but digging a little deeper and understanding to not be fearful of things you don’t know, people that are a little different to you.

Fear is not a good thing to fuel.”

As for Peters, a fan of “Beauty and the Beast” since childhood, he’d already planned to see the movie, but even moreso now, “just to see how this scene really goes and how big of a deal it really is.”

“The fight continues on, and, hopefully, we can get better,” he said.

Home sellers: 6 last-minute cleaning tasks to do before every showing (BPT) - Real estate experts agree: dirt and clutter are the anti-staging elements that can send buyers running for the door before they ever think of making an offer. Prior to staging your home, invest some time in deep cleaning it, paying attention to everything from the front walk to the garbage disposal to the air inside your home.

Once you’ve created a clean foundation, follow through with these quick cleaning tasks before showings: 1. Sweep in front of the house.

A pot of flowers on the front step is great, but they won’t look that welcoming if dirt and debris are visible too. Thoroughly sweep front walks, stairs and entryways, and don’t forget to clear cobwebs above the door. Put away any children’s toys or gardening tools that may be in the

front yard. Hide trash and recycling containers out of sight.

2. Freshen the aromas inside.

Pet and cooking smells are major turnoffs for home buyers, but even if your house has neither, freshening the indoor scent can have a positive effect on a buyer’s mood. However, you don’t want to saturate your home in overpowering, chemical-based scents, either. To deodorize more naturally, try cleaning with essential oils. Mix 2 teaspoons of Aura Cacia Main Squeeze Essential Oil Blend, 1 3/4 cups of water, 1/2 teaspoon of Borax and 1/4 teaspoon of unscented liquid soap in a 16-ounce bottle.

Before a showing, use the mixture to wipe down kitchen counters, leaving behind clean countertops and a fresh, energizing citrus scent.

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Thursday, March 9, 2017 • 3. Speed clean the kitchen.

5. Clean carpets.

Now that your counters are clutter-free, sparkling and smelling good, just a few more tasks will get your kitchen ready to show. Wipe away any fingerprints on appliances, and put away all pots, pans, dishes and glassware in their proper place. Store pet bowls out of sight, give the floor a quick sweep and dry the interior of the sink with a paper towel.

Nothing says “show home” like fresh vacuum tracks in the carpet!

Just before you leave the house for a showing, give carpets a quick pass with the vacuum. Before you do your other last-minute cleaning tasks, mix 1 teaspoon of Aura Cacia Petal Power Essential Oil Blend with a cup of baking soda and sprinkle on carpets.

After 10 minutes, vacuum away the powder and leave a light, refreshing floral scent behind.

4. Put your best foot forward in the bath.

It’s tough but critical to keep the most-used room in the house looking its best. You probably used your bathroom to get ready this morning, so wipe down surfaces to ensure no hair or debris lingers. Check the mirror for spots and wipe and dry the sink.

If the bathtub or shower door show signs of recent use, dry them off.

Store used soap, shampoo, scrubbies, loofahs, wash cloths and towels out of sight.

6. Take out the trash.

Oscar Wilde said, “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.”

Bridge players who do not understand their partner’s bids are in trouble. This week, we are looking at the splinter bid, which shows a good fit for partner’s suit, at least game-going values and a singleton (or void) in the suit just named.

Once, my partner opened one club. I had 15 high-card points with six clubs to the ace-king-queen-jack.

I also had a singleton spade, so I responded three spades. It went all pass! Then partner put a singleton spade down in the dummy! I tried hard to make it, but I unluckily ran out of trumps. Six clubs was cold.

In today’s deal, North’s four diamonds was a splinter bid. Then South used 14-30 Roman Key Card Blackwood, understandably believing that his partner had something in clubs to justify his game-force. When North showed one key card (an ace or the spade king), South jumped to six spades.

West, who disliked leading from a jack, chose the club seven. After winning with dummy’s king, how did declarer play?

South saw that the danger was a 3-0 trump split. So, he called for the spade four and underplayed East’s three with his two! When dummy’s four held the trick, declarer drew one more round of trumps and discarded his club loser on dummy’s heart queen.

Note that if West could have taken the second trick, trumps would have been 2-1 and the contract safe -- sort of. Tune in again tomorrow.
