Crystal Lake police investigate child pornography allegations against couple

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Police are investigating a Crystal Lake couple who run a church in Huntley after a Verizon employee reported finding hundreds of images of child pornography on one of the pastors’ cellphones.

The Crystal Lake Police Department seized cellphones, tablets, CDs, hundreds of VHS tapes and other computer equipment from Stephen and Mary Foster’s home, 1739 Village Court, Crystal Lake, on Feb. 16. They also seized four vials of what is believed to be human growth hormone and two hypodermic needles, according to court records obtained by the Northwest Herald.

Crystal Lake police, the Illinois State Police, Kane County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI’s Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory also raided Morning Star Church and World Outreach Center, at 41W350 and 41W390 Powers Road, Huntley, the same day.

Investigators took computers, external hard drives, a digital camera and other equipment. The equipment was returned to the church the next day, according to records of search warrants filed in McHenry County.

Morning Star Church and World Outreach Center is described as an apostolic and prophetic Christian church founded in 1986, according to its website. The church, located on 14 acres, has weekly services for its members, including a specific youth and young adult service Friday nights.

Stephen and Mary Foster are the church’s senior pastors and apostolic founders. Stephen Foster received ministerial training from Rhema Bible Training Center, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he graduated in 1983, according to the website.

Police started investigating the couple after a Lake in the Hills Verizon Wireless store employee reported seeing child pornography July 11 on a device brought in by a female customer who said the device belonged to her employer, who was later identified as Stephen Foster.

The woman was looking to transfer information from one phone to another, according to an affidavit included in court records.

The first employee asked the woman for her name and phone number, but she was not willing to provide ei-

on the internet and found it was associated with a church in Huntley, according to the affidavit.

He offered to show the woman everything that was transferred, which included at least one gallery with photos of “very young, under 10 years old, boys and girls dressed in only underwear.” He also said there were about 200 to 300 images of naked boys. The Verizon employee estimated the age of the boys to be between 4 and 10 years old, according to the employee’s affidavit.

The woman said the phone was her employer’s, not hers, and she “seemed to know what was on the phone,” according to the affidavit. The employee also said that he recognized the woman as having been at the store for similar service “several times” before this incident, including in September 2016, and World Outreach Center on Thursday in but he was not the employee who assisted her.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Two good Samaritans – one with some loose change in his pocket and the other with a Facebook page – are uniting a son with his dead father’s lost military grave marker.

Tom McDaniel, a Charleston, West Virginia, man whose father was a longtime Army soldier who served during World War II, gave up on the idea that he would ever see the marker again, after his brother lost the storage locker in which it was kept. But he didn’t count on Tobin Gage and his partner, Vickie Saynay.

Gage, a Marine veteran who lives in McHenry, was looking through the wares on display last month at Family Treasures Resale Shop in Union when he came across a small bronze plaque commemorating Merritt Clay McDaniel. He didn’t know what it was, but when the shop owner said he was going to sell it for

Gem Talk – Rhodium Plating

Gem Talk

There is nothing quite like the beautiful bright white finish that rhodium gives to a piece of jewelry. With its bright, glittering and reflective qualities (it is the most reflective of all precious metals) By Karly Bulinski from a few feet away it’s hard to tell where the stones end and the metal begins. Because rhodium is so bright and makes stones look so stunning, almost all white gold jewelry, as well as some yellow, is rhodium plated. But what exactly is rhodium and how does the process work?

®

Rhodium is a very hard, silvery-white metal that was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston when he separated it from platinum. He named it after the Latin word “rhodon” which means rose. It is one of the world’s most expensive metals and fetches about 6 times more than gold by weight. It is never found in mineral form and is only found in trace amounts within platinum or nickel ores. 80% of the world’s rhodium is found in South Africa. Because the metal is so hard, it is not ideal to use for jewelry making. However, it is great to use as a thin, decorative and protective layer over gold and silver jewelry.

Silverware makers from the 1930’s first used the electro-plating process to produce flatware that didn’t need constant polishing.

During this process, which is used today, the item to be plated is dipped in a liquid solution containing the rhodium. An electric current is added to the mix that forces the tiny particles of metal to bond with the surface of the immersed piece of jewelry.

Since rhodium is just a very thin plate covering your base metal, every so often it is going to need to be re-plated. It’s just like going to the hair salon and getting your hair colored, it’s definitely something that needs to be maintained. Most jewelry can go for a few years without re-plating with the exception of rings. Because rings are worn most often the plating wears off more quickly. If you notice that some of your white gold jewelry is starting to look a little worn or you start seeing some yellow peeking through, it’s time to visit Steffan’s for a quick “dip” in some rhodium. Rhodium pricing starts at $35 and will leave your jewelry looking brand new!

Spring is right around the corner! Why not add a new diamond or gemstone to your spring wardrobe. Visit the store to see all of our great new jewelry.

Research focused on bird and aircraft collisions

Have you ever attended a Creative Living Series event at the Woodstock opera House?

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock Northwood Middle School students’ research could make flying safer worldwide.

Woodstock District 200 Challenge Corps students’ research has been featured in the spring edition of the United Nation’s World Ecology Report, a quarterly research report published in six languages around the world. The students developed their research on how to prevent “bird strikes” – when birds hit airplanes – for the FIRST LEGO League robotics challenge.

The theme of the most recent robotics challenge was “Animal Allies.”

Students had to come up with a project that would solve a problem involving how animals and machines interact.

They chose to investigate bird strikes even before understanding how deep the issue went, eighth-grade student Erin Bigler said.

“Over the summer when ‘Sully’ came out, a bunch of us had went to see it, but that was pretty much the extent of our knowledge,” she said. “Around here you don’t really hear about that happening. It was kind of like ‘OK. We will look into this. But we will need to have a backup plan.’ ” When the team started to look into the issue further, students realized the scope of the problem was much larger than they had thought.

“It costs about $2 billion a year just in the United States alone,” eighthgrade student Daniel McCoy said.

In addition to the financial cost, bird strikes harm animals, damage planes and cause crashes and emergency landings.

The students came up with a simple and inexpensive solution to the problem. In the course of their research, they learned that birds have ultraviolet vision and determined that airlines should add red to the nose cone and engine housing as well as red stripes to the belly and under the wings of the plane, so the birds could tell the difference between the plane and the sky.

“A lot of teams made solutions that really couldn’t happen in the real world. It’s just something to have for the competition,” Daniel said. “But our solution is so simple, and it wouldn’t be very hard to do.”

The group has the option to present

Students Erin Bigler (left) and Daniel McCoy prepare for a presentation. at an event that the United Nations puts on in New York, Northwood Middle School Challenge Corps faculty adviser Gigi Carlson said. They are considering the opportunity, she said.

“There is real-world application,” Carlson said. “We have had other stu-

dents years ago that applied to colleges and when they applied they said they had been FLL state qualifiers and those students won small awards for scholarships and that was just for going to state. This year, that bar has been raised that much more.”

Eighth-grader Samantha Keyzer said that for her, it was exciting to know that the team’s work could bring about change.

“We didn’t think we had a say in anything that happened until it was published because we are kids. People don’t normally listen to kids,” she said.

“I think its a big shock knowing we can make that much of a difference.”

Contributing students were Eleazar Miranda, Luke Freeman, Emma Bremer, Daniel McCoy, Julian Anguiano, Jason Thurow, Erin Bigler, Samantha Keyzer, Jack Granat and Gerald Nacague.

died, subsequently lost custody of. It then ended up on the resale market when the contents of the storage space were auctioned off.

Tom McDaniel said he most likely will put the grave marker in a shadow box, just under the one holding the American flag that was draped over his father’s coffin. But a new monsignor is in charge of the Catholic cemetery, and Tom just might ask again if the plaque can be mounted there.

While Merritt Clay McDaniel was never sent overseas during the war, he stayed in the Army, ending a combined 24 years of active and reserve duty as a chief warrant officer in a vehicle maintenance section.

“This tickled me to death that we got this back in the family – that it didn’t go to the scrapyard,” Tom McDaniel said.

As for Gage and Saynay, they are happy that the McDaniel family has been reunited with the grave marker.

“If you see some memorabilia, don’t scrap it,” Gage said. “Somebody’s probably wanting it back.”

scrap and offered it to Gage for 50 cents, something told Gage to buy it.

“I don’t really know. I couldn’t let it be scrapped,” Gage said.

Saynay, whose father was in the Air Force, knew Gage had found a grave marker for a man who had served his country, and she knew that she had to get it back to the man’s next of kin.

“I’m finding out who this belongs to.

That was my thought. If this were my dad’s, I’d want it back,” Saynay said.

Saynay put a picture of it on Facebook and asked her friends to share it – it was shared by 400 people from as far away as Australia.

Thanks to a coincidence, it took less than an hour to solve the mystery. One of her friends, an optometrist named Paula Barrette, happened to be a friend of one of Merritt Clay McDaniel’s relatives.

The story of how the marker ended up in northern Illinois, son Tom McDaniel said, started with his father’s death in 2004. He wanted the marker mounted on the marble with his father’s cremated remains, but the monsignor in charge of the Charleston cemetery would not allow it.

The marker ended up with Tom’s brother, John, who moved to northern Illinois. The marker was put into a storage space that John, who has since

upstream Trustees OK initial plans Plan for steady for pharmacy on Route 47 income downstream

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – A new CVS Pharmacy could be coming to Huntley at the northwest corner of Route 47 and Kreutzer Road.

The 13,225-square-foot building would sit on about 1.75 acres, according to village documents. The site also includes a 1.14-acre lot for future development, a space for stormwater detention and a lot for flood plain compensatory storage.

Materials used for the building would include stacked stone, structural brick and split-faced block, according to village documents. The building would include a drive-thru pharmacy.

“It’s just a lot of brick wall to look at,” Trustee John Piwko said when conceptual plans were discussed at the March 2 Committee of the Whole meeting.

Charlie Haapala of T.M. Crowley and Associates, a petitioner for the project on behalf of CVS, said landscaping around the property would help break up the brick.

According to village documents, the developer also worked with the village to add architectural features and patterns to increase interest in the brickwork.

In response to Trustee Ronda Goldman’s question on when the existing house at the corner would be knocked down, developers said there is no set timeline.

Developers also said at the Committee of the Whole meeting that a buyer for the second property had not yet been identified, but it could be retail or office space.

Huntley trustees gave the OK for plans for the business to begin the formal development review process with the Huntley Plan Commission.

10 ALGONQUIN

Residents protest Longmeadow Parkway project More online

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Protesters held up signs saying the Longmeadow Parkway project is “not a done deal,” hoping people driving by would notice the statement.

“I’m opposed to this project because it’s in our backyard,” Algonquin resident Lindsay Williams said. “I’m concerned for the safety of children in this neighborhood having a four-lane highway right behind us.”

About 60 people stood in below-freezing temperatures Saturday to protest the Longmeadow Parkway project. The protest was held at the intersection of Longmeadow Parkway and Barrett Drive in Algonquin.

Jack Bavaro, who lives near Longmeadow Parkway, organized the protest in order to get more people involved.

“The fact is supporters want it to go from a 30 mile per hour road to a 45 mile per hour road and allow 18-wheelers to come down through our neighborhood, and that’s not safe,” Bavaro said. “And people need to realize there’s still time to make a change and end this project.”

According to the Kane County Division of Transportation, total construction costs are estimated to be $115 million, with about $14 million coming from federal sources, about $39 million from the state and about $61 million coming from Kane County.

Algonquin Village President John Schmitt supports the proposal. He has said the project will create less traffic on roads and allow for easier access to Algonquin’s corporate campus.

“Our residents don’t want this.

We’re completely being ignored, so we have to stand up together and fight this,” Ligman said. “This is a family community where children are being raised and playing in their backyard, which is being taken away from them.”

Also in attendance was Trish Glees, who is running as an independent for Dundee Township supervisor.

“No one’s looking at the diversion of Route 62,” Glees said. “All the small businesses there could lose that traffic if this project happens.”

The Federal Highway Administration recently said the project will have no new significant effects on the environment, and it can move to the next step of development.

Currently in the construction phase, the project is estimated to be completed in late 2019.

More protests are planned to continue on future Saturday mornings at the same location.

Gov. Bruce Rauner met by protesters at GOP dinner

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Democratic Party of McHenry County held a protest Saturday night protesting Gov. Bruce Rauner and the state budget impasse.

The protest was from 5 to 6 p.m. in front of the Holiday Inn, 800 S. Illinois Route 31, Crystal Lake. Robert Rosenberg, a member of the Democratic Party of McHenry County, was one of about 50 people in attendance.

“We’re protesting the need to have a budget in the state of Illinois. Not having one hurts working families, Bruce and it hurts small businesses. Bruce Rauner needs to get it done,” Rosenberg said.

“It’s been too long without a budget, the families are who really suffer while Michael Madigan and Bruce Rauner fight over the details,” Rosenberg added. “What we want is a clean budget with no collateral legislative issues, so Illinois can get on with its business.”

The protest was held in response to the Republican Party of McHenry County’s Lincoln Dinner, a special event held Saturday night. Rauner was at the event, according to a GOP official who was at the dinner.

Meanwhile, protesters stood outside the hotel to

A snapshot of McHenry County history

| LOCAL NEWS

Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Wherever you see a farm silo, McHenry County should come to mind. The first silo constructed in this county (1873) was located on the Fred L. Hatch farm in Spring Grove. Silos were built to store grain, as well as improve the preservation of chopped corn stocks (silage) for winter cattle feed. Today they are becoming increasingly rare, as dairy farms disappear from the area.

A new technology, the compression of silage covered by thick plastic sheeting, in large part has circumvented the need for silos. This photo, which dates from the 1930s, illustrates an advance in silo technology. Chancy Harrison, a farmer on Barnard Mill Road west of Ringwood, had decided to replace his outdated wooden silo (left) with a modern brick silo. Brick silos needed a lot less maintenance and did much more to keep the silage impervious to winter rains and snows. Later on, concrete silos – made of curved concrete block that were poured in place or pre-cast and secured with metal hoops – revolutionized storage. Chancey Harrison, born in 1890, died in Ringwood in 1976. He and his wife, Myrtle, are buried in the Carr-Harrison Cemetery along Barnard Mill Road.

third employee came to the Crystal Lake Police Department on Jan. 23 and identified Stephen Foster as the pastor he had seen in the store and the owner of the phone.

No charges had been filed as of Friday evening, and members of the Crystal Lake Police Department and McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.

Phone calls to Stephen Foster’s cellphone, as well as messages to the church’s website and Facebook page, were not returned as of Friday evening.

No one answered the door Friday at the Fosters’ Crystal Lake residence.

the store only once or twice, to his knowledge.

When he came into the store, he arrived in a black Cadillac DTS. He once talked about his church and his workout routine, according to the affidavit.

Police were able to confirm that a black 2006 Cadillac DTS was registered to Morning Star Church and Stephen A. Foster, and they found it in the driveway of the couple’s Crystal Lake residence on Feb. 13, according to the affidavit.

During one of the visits to the Verizon store, a female assistant working for Stephen Foster was “adamant” about text messages being transferred over from one phone to another. The

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

I contemplated seizing the phone, going into the backroom and contacting police immediately, which would have been against Verizon’s policy and would have jeopardized my employment. I instead notified my supervisor to make a report,” the affidavit stated.

The Verizon Wireless employee met with police Jan. 23 and gave a written statement about his observations. Crystal Lake Police also showed him a photo lineup Feb. 3, and he was able to identify the woman he recognized as the customer with whom he interacted.

Police also spoke with a Verizon Wireless supervisor and two other Verizon employees who interacted with either the woman or Stephen Foster.

The supervisor said that while she did not see the child pornography, because she did not go through the phone, she said the first employee who interacted with the female customer was “internally disgusted.”

The manager told police she recognized the woman who brought in the phone and said she had previously brought in phones for data transfers, according to the affidavit.

Police spoke with a second Verizon employee Jan. 18. That employee said in April 2016 that he was working at

the Lake in the Hills store when a man he understood to be a pastor or a priest came in with his phone. The employee described him as “possibly wearing a wig” and said it looked like “the pastor worked out.”

The employee also said the pastor said he ran a church.

The second employee also interacted with the female customer on more than one occasion, and he said the first time they interacted she asked him to transfer data and he saw a photo gallery that included at least 20 images of nude males from teenagers to 30 years old.

The same female customer also came in another time complaining that the phone battery was dying too quickly. The employee told her that a common issue related to battery life is if the phone’s web browser has too many tabs open at once. When the employee went into the phone’s browser he saw there were between 60 and 80 browser tabs open, and from what the employee saw, they were all open on “pornography sites.”

A third employee, who also spoke with police in January, said he never saw child pornography on any phones related to the case but saw “other stuff.”

He said he interacted with the customers related to the case about six months before the first employee did, according to the affidavit.

He said Stephen Foster came into

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Lundahl Middle School community is helping to fight cancer by raising $8,327 for the Pasta for Pennies campaign benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Since 2012, the school has collected more than $50,000 and has been named one of the organization’s top fundraising schools in the state, according to a news release from the Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47.

“It is through the efforts of students, parents and the teaching community at schools like Lundahl Middle School that we continue to increase the number of kids who not only survive a diagnosis of cancer, but who are able to lead happy and productive lives,” said Pam Swenk, the organization’s executive director. “Each and every person who has been involved with the Lundahl Middle School Pasta

for Pennies campaign can take credit for helping cure cancer.

We are humbled and honored to have this amazing group of people supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.”

For the past six years, the Lundahl student council has spearheaded the fundraiser, where they host events such as selling candy grams, an allschool skate night and a dodgeball tournament.

In addition, individual classrooms engage in “change wars,” where students in each homeroom class donate spare change to LLS for a chance to win a catered lunch.

Besides fundraising for the LLS, the Lundahl student council collects donations for the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and families in need, sends Halloween candy overseas to those serving in the U.S. military, donates to local charities and has helped buy Lego sets for a children’s hospital.

Police say St. Charles shooting a domestic incident; mother hospitalized

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, March 12, 2017

ST. CHARLES – A crowd of St. Charles East High School students, many holding candles, gathered just before dusk in the 400 block of South First Street on Saturday to honor the memories of their slain classmates, twins Brittany S. and Tiffany S. Coffland, both 16, who were juniors.

An alcove at a condominium building hosted a makeshift altar to the twins and their father, their names on three Brittany S. c r o s s e s , f l a n k e d b y Coffland prayer candles and surrounded by bouquets of flowers and stuffed animals “They were just really sweet,” Savhanna Thiry, 16, a junior, said as she struggled to hold Tiffany S. back tears. “They al- Coffland ways meant well. They were always super nice and super fun. I don’t think there was ever a day where they were like rude or anything. Obviously, with so many people here, they will be missed. They are no longer in our lives, but they will be forever in our hearts.”

The twins and their father, Randall R. Coffland, 48, were shot to death Friday in what police called a domestic incident.

The girls’ mother, Anjum S. Coffland, 46, was at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital as of Saturday, listed in stable condition, St. Charles police stated in a news release.

The girls’ parents were married but living at separate addresses – their father at the First Street condominium where the shooting occurred, and their mother on South Fifth Avenue, police said.

Christina Ruffino, 17, also a junior, said Brittany was her best friend sophomore year.

“She was a great girl,” Ruffino said, speaking through tears. “She always had a smile on her face. She was never sad. She was extremely smart, always a good student. She was an awesome friend. I’m so disappointed to know this has happened to her and Tiffany and her dad.”

Sam Rush, 17, another classmate of Brittany’s, said he wanted to pay his respects at the vigil.

“She was really nice. She always had a smile on her face,” Rush said.

“She had a good sense of humor, and she was really smart.”

Friends mourn slain teen twins, father 27

BELOW: St. Charles East students and community members light candles during the vigil.

Dimitra Lolis, 17, also knew Brittany from their psychology class.

“She sat behind me, and we talked,” Lolis said. “She was so sweet.”

Crismelle Dabu, 17, had math class with Tiffany.

“She loved music,” Dabu said. “She had a really big passion for music, and she was like the sweetest person ever.

She never had anything bad to say about anybody. … We used to sit next to each other in math, and we both found common interests.”

Alexa Baumann, 17, also a classmate of the twins, said she had different classes with both of them. Baumann is an intern at the Kane County Chronicle.

“I had Tiffany in social studies, and Brittany was in my psychology class and U.S. history,” Baumann said.

“They were two of the nicest people.”

Paul Lencioni, managing partner of the Blue Goose Market, just across the street from the apartment where the shootings occurred, said he knew Brittany as an employee for about a year.

“She was one of the most wonderful kids,” Lencioni said.

“We’re sad. We’re angry. We’re hurt. She was one of our family. … We

are brokenhearted.”

Brad Henkin, whose daughter was friends with Tiffany, said the whole situation was shocking.

“Tiffany was a bright girl,” Henkin said. “It’s a shame her life should have ended so short.”

Mayor Ray Rogina issued a statement on the shootings, that St. Charles experienced a horrific personal tragedy.

“Being the close-knit community we are, an incident of this nature has impact beyond the immediate family – we think about and pray for the extended family, which includes relatives, high school students and other friends,” Rogina said. “We also pray for the greater community, all of us, that we will stand tall and provide calm and peace at such a tragic moment.”

Experts unsure of future if state workers strike “If AFSCME were to strike, the governor certainly would have a right to attempt to run these state government agencies, and he could hire people to do the work. There’s nothing impermissible about that.”

The STATE JOURNAL REGISTER SPRINGFIELD – It’s unclear whether people who might replace state employees in the event of a strike by Illinois’ largest public-employee union could end up with permanent jobs.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration has begun to collect names of people willing to work if the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees strikes, suggesting online that replacement positions could turn into permanent jobs, The State Journal-Register reported.

But whether those people would get a permanent state job could be another issue for the courts to decide.

“I don’t know what will be permissible and what won’t be permissible because we are in this territory that hasn’t been tested legally,” said Robert Bruno, an assistant professor of labor and industrial relations at the University of Illinois. “If AFSCME were to strike, the governor certainly would have a right to attempt to run these state government agencies, and he could hire people to do the work. There’s nothing impermissible about that.”

Union members have voted to give its bargaining committee authority to call a strike at some point in the future.

Ex-prosecutor: Acquittal in wife’s death answers prayers

SPRINGFIELD – A former Illinois prosecutor who was found not guilty in the 2006 death of his first wife said the jury’s verdict was the answer to his prayers.

Curtis Lovelace thanked his attorneys and supporters Friday, after a jury acquitted him in the death of Cory Lovelace.

Standing with his current wife and three sons outside the courtroom, Curtis Lovelace said he planned to spend time with his family. He said the sense of relief when he heard the jury verdict was indescribable.

Lovelace was arrested in 2014 and accused of using a pillow to suffocate Cory Lovelace eight years earlier. His first trial ended with a deadlocked jury.

Even though hiring replacement workers to keep government operating in a strike is legal, union officials say it would be bad for Illinois.

“These jobs require years of education and experience,” said Michael Newman, deputy director of AFSCME. “For Rauner to suggest the work can easily be done by somebody coming off the street demonstrates no understanding of what state employees do.”

The Rauner administration didn’t respond to the newspaper’s questions about its online recruitment effort after last week’s court ruling.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS erlands for a referendum back Pence appeals for GOP support on health overhaul home. Family and Social Policies LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Vice President Mike Pence appealed for total GOP congressional support for a White House-backed health overhaul during a brief visit Saturday to Kentucky, where the Republican governor and junior senator are among the plan’s skeptics.

“This is going to be a battle in Washington, D.C. And for us to seize this opportunity to repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all, we need every Republican in Congress, and we’re counting on Kentucky,” Pence said at an energy company where business leaders had gathered.

He said President Donald Trump would lean on House Republicans – including two Kentucky lawmakers in the audience, Reps.

Andy Barr and Brett Guthrie – to vote to replace former President Barack Obama’s law.

Minister Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya had arrived in the country from Germany but was prevented from entering Turkey’s diplomatic compound in Rotterdam, setting up a standoff with armed police.

She was later sent under escort back to Germany.

The Dutch were equally angry and Prime Minister Mark Rutte called Erdogan’s Nazi comment “a crazy remark,” while Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb said the Turkish consul general was guilty of a “scandalous deception” after he allegedly denied that the minister was coming despite government warnings to stay away.

Fired U.S. attorney boasts of ‘absolute independence’

By LARRY NEUMEISTER The Associated Press NEW YORK – A Manhattan federal prosecutor who said “absolute independence” was his touchstone for over seven years as he battled public corruption announced he was fired Saturday after he refused a day earlier to resign.

Preet Bharara, 48, revealed his firing on his personal Twitter account after it became widely known hours earlier that he did not intend to step down in response to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ request that leftover appointees of former President Barack Obama quit.

“I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired,” Bharara said in the tweet.

In a statement later, he said: “Serving my country as U.S. Attorney here for the past seven years will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life, no matter what else I do or how long I live. One hallmark of justice is absolute independence, and that was my touchstone every day that I served.”

He said Deputy U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim will serve as acting U.S. attorney.

The Justice Department late Saturday confirmed Bharara was no longer U.S. attorney but declined to expound.

Just over three months ago, then-President-elect Donald Trump asked Bharara to remain on the job and Bharara told reporters after the Trump Tower meeting that he had agreed to do so.

Meanwhile, Michigan Rep. John Conyers, the House Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, requested Saturday that the committee receive a summary of probes linked to Trump, whether they touch on his administration, transition, campaign and organization, “so that we can understand the full implications of this weekend’s firings.”

He said he suspected Bharara “could be reviewing a range of potential improp-

The outspoken Manhattan federal prosecutor known for crusading against public corruption said on Saturday that he was fired after refusing to resign. er activity emanating from Trump Tower and the Trump campaign, as well as entities with financial ties to the president or the Trump organization.”

Bharara was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2009. In frequent public appearances, Bharara has decried public corruption after successfully prosecuting over a dozen state lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans alike.

Sessions’ decision to include Bharara’s name on the list of 46 resignations of holdovers from the Obama administration surprised Manhattan prosecutors.

While it is customary for a new president to replace virtually all of the 93 U.S. attorneys, it often occurs at a slower pace. Sessions lost his position as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama in a similar sweep by then-Attorney General Janet Reno in 1993.

Robert Morgenthau, a Democratic U.S. attorney in Manhattan, famously held out for nearly a year after Republican President Richard Nixon’s 1969 inauguration, saying he needed to see some important cases through. He ultimately left in January 1970, after the White House declared he was being replaced

and announced a nominee.

New York Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement Friday that he was “troubled to learn” of the resignation demands, particularly of Bharara, since Trump called him in November and assured him that he wanted Bharara to remain in place.

Bharara met Trump on Nov. 30, saying afterward he’d been asked to remain in the job. Bharara, once lauded on the cover of Time magazine as the man who is “busting Wall Street” after successfully prosecuting dozens of insider traders, has in recent years gone after over a dozen state officeholders – including New York’s two most powerful lawmakers.

It also recently was revealed that his office is investigating the financial terms of settlements of sexual-harassment claims against Fox News by its employees.

The request from Sessions came as Bharara’s office is prosecuting former associates of Democratic Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in a bribery case.

Also, prosecutors recently interviewed New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as part of a probe into his fundraising.

The mayor’s press secretary has said the mayor is cooperating and that he and his staff had acted appropriately.

Gorsuch has ruled for police, and suspects, in crime cases

By SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Judge Neil Gorsuch wasn’t convinced that a teenager who made burping sounds in a classroom should be arrested, handcuffed and taken to juvenile detention in a police car.

Gorsuch said the 13-yearold student from Albuquerque, New Mexico, should have been able to sue the arresting officer for excessive force.

His powerful dissent in the case last year offers a glimpse of how Gorsuch – a favorite among conservatives – might be hard to pigeonhole on criminal justice issues if he is confirmed to the Supreme Court.

“Arresting a now compliant class clown for burping was going a step too far,” Gorsuch wrote, saying there is a difference “between childish pranks and more seriously disruptive behaviors.”

During a decade on the federal appeals court in Denver, Gorsuch has raised concerns about intrusive government searches and seizures that

He generally has ruled against defendants appealing their convictions and those who claim they received unfair trials. But he also has warned in writings and speeches about the danger of having too many criminal laws on the books.

“What happens to individual freedom and equality when

the criminal law comes to cover so many facets of daily life that prosecutors can almost choose their targets with impunity?” he said in a 2013 speech.

That skepticism seems to align him with the late Justice Antonin Scalia, a strong believer in protecting people from overzealous police and prosecutors. Scalia at times

sided with liberals in tossing out evidence that breached privacy rights and in strengthening the right to confront accusers in court.

Liberal groups are opposing Gorsuch’s nomination, in part based on views that his overall record on criminal justice is too harsh.

“At a time when the abuses of our criminal justice system are becoming a national crisis, we cannot confirm a justice who does not understand the role of the Supreme Court to protect the most vulnerable among us,” said a report from People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group.

When Gorsuch has said there are too many criminal laws, he has often focused on business regulations, such as requirements that mattress sellers preserve mattress tags or that lobster importers use cardboard instead of plastic.

Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA School of Law, says such decisions could forecast that Gorsuch may be a vote to curtail criminal prosecution of Wall Street execu-

tives and financiers.

“He is likely to read federal criminal laws narrowly,” Winkler said. “Gorsuch is also likely to favor industry against what he sees as excessive criminal laws regulating business.”

Some of his opinions have faulted police for seizing evidence in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable searches.

In a case last year, Gorsuch parted from the two-judge majority in a ruling that said police had a right to walk onto a man’s property to knock on the front door even though there were several “No Trespassing” signs in the yard.

Gorsuch mocked the majority’s opinion, saying it gave government agents the right to “invade” a homeowner’s property “whatever the homeowner may say or do about it.”

The homeowner “might add a wall or a medieval-style moat, too,” Gorsuch wrote.

“Maybe razor wire and battlements and mantraps besides.

Even that isn’t enough to revoke the state’s right to enter.”

POTOMAC FALLS, Va. – President Donald Trump on Saturday praised the U.S. Secret Service for doing a “fantastic job” apprehending a “troubled person” who climbed a fence and was approaching a south entrance to the White House while Trump was inside the executive mansion.

It was the first known security breach at the White House since Trump took office nearly two months ago.

Washington, D.C., police identified the intruder as Jonathan Tran, 26, of Milpitas, California.

When approached by a Secret Service officer on the south grounds about 11:38 p.m. Friday and asked whether he had a pass authorizing him to be in the restricted area, Tran replied, “No, I am a friend of the president. I have an appointment,” the police report said.

Asked how he got there, he said he “jumped the fence.”

The Secret Service said in a statement that the intruder, whom it did not identify, had climbed an outer perimeter fence near the Treasury Department and East Executive Avenue. He was arrested without further incident, the agency said.

Authorities found two cans of Mace on Tran, including one inside his jacket pocket, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court. Tran also was carrying a U.S. passport, an Apple laptop computer, a book written

by Trump and a letter he had written to the president, the complaint said.

“Secret Service did a fantastic job last night,” Trump said Saturday from his golf club in Northern Virginia. He

described the intruder as a “troubled person” and the situation as “very sad.” Trump was briefed on the matter Friday night, said his spokesman, Sean Spicer.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly also was briefed on the incident, the Secret Service said. Kelly was among several Cabinet secretaries and senior White House staff members who attended a working lunch with the president at the Trump National Golf Club.

In the letter found on Tran, he mentioned “Russian hackers” and said he had information of relevance, according to the criminal complaint. He alleged that he had been followed, that his phone and email communications had been read by third parties, and that he has been called schizophrenic.

The Secret Service said a search of the north and south White House grounds found “nothing of concern to security operations.” Standard practice is to turn intruders over to the local police department.

Video surveillance footage shows Tran jumping a fence near the Treasury Department adjacent to the White House security fence, the complaint said. At one point, Tran is seen hiding behind a White House pillar before proceeding to the South Portico entrance.

Friday’s security breach follows a series of similar lapses that took place during the eight years that Barack Obama was president. An especially embarrassing breach came in September 2014 when an Army veteran with mental health issues scaled a fence on the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the White House and made it deep inside the building, to the East Room, before the Secret Service could detain him.

ANOTHER VIEW

What climate denial sounds like “I don’t want to be called a denier,” CNBC anchor Joe Kernen said to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt on Thursday morning. “I know you don’t want to be called that, either.”

What else can one call Pruitt, after he said this to Kernan: “I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don’t know that yet. ... We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.”

That is not “skepticism,” a term that implies reasonable doubt in the face of inadequate information.

That is denial of a scientific consensus built on ample evidence that gets stronger every year, and it is denial of Pruitt’s essential responsibilities as the nation’s chief environmental watchdog.

If Pruitt had merely said that it is hard to establish humanity’s effects on the climate with precision, no one could accuse him of being wrong. Scientists cannot say exactly how much warming will occur after a given amount of carbon dioxide is pumped into the atmosphere – and probably will not be able to until after the warming has occurred. But that is not evidence of no or small effect. Scientists have calculated a range of possible values for the planet’s “sensitivity” to carbon dioxide released by human activity – and it is not a comfortable one. The numbers suggest that, even if experts are far too pessimistic in their estimates, the risks of continuing to rapidly change the atmosphere’s chemistry are worryingly high and demand that every country on Earth act before doing so becomes much more expensive or impossible.

Yet Pruitt did not stick to mere misdirection about climate sensitivity. He argued, wrongly, that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that carbon dioxide is even “a primary contributor” to the climate change scientists have already measured – even though they have painstakingly ruled out alternative culprits.

Accepting the expert consensus is a matter of reason vs. unreason. On the side of reason are scientists armed with decades of data and the insights of basic physics, which counsel that adding heat- trapping gases to the atmosphere will trap more heat. Here, per CNBC’s own account of the Pruitt interview, is the joint conclusion of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: “The planet’s average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.”

It is little wonder the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to sharply cut NOAA’s budget.

Ignoring data may seem easier if you collect less of it.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

China’s moment to deal with North Korea Chinese President Xi Jinping seems interested in embracing the role of global steward -- champion of the liberal political and economic order the U.S. administration seems uninterested in promoting. Now is his moment to prove he’s serious.

China’s erstwhile client North Korea has become an urgent threat to stability – Xi’s stated top priority – from one end of Asia to the other. Japan’s military is now on its highest state of alert, after the North’s latest round of missile tests landed in Japanese waters. The first elements of a powerful U.S. missile defense system, known as Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), have landed in South Korea; the system, which China fiercely opposes, could be operational by next month. In Malaysia, meanwhile, North Korean agents allegedly used a banned nerve agent to assassinate dictator Kim Jong Un’s half-brother, who had reportedly been under Chinese protection. Kim’s regime is now holding Malaysians in North Korea hostage, while Malaysia is preventing North Korean diplomats from leaving the country.

After the assassination, China

cut off any further coal imports from North Korea this year. But the impact of the move remains uncertain. And, as a recent United Nations report makes clear, North Korean agents are continuing to use Chinese middlemen to fund the regime’s illicit missile and nuclear programs.

Wednesday’s proposal from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi for North Korea and the U.S. to back down simultaneously -- the former by halting nuclear and missile tests, the latter by suspending joint military exercises with South Korea-- is constructive. But it’s been raised before and has little chance now: The U.S. has already ruled out any actions that might reward Kim for bad behavior.

China may have legitimate reasons for not wanting to go further and risk destabilizing the Pyongyang regime. The mainland would bear the brunt of any refugee exodus from the North and faces the unsettling prospect of a unified Korea – and U.S. troops – along its border. Chinese leaders may also be right that the U.S. needs to find a way to sit down and negotiate with North Korea, even if talks don’t lead

to the elimination of its nuclear arsenal. Left unchecked, the North could within a few years deploy a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.

The best way for China to use its resources is to bring North Korea to the table in a frame of mind to negotiate. It could start by backing a UN effort to end the standoff with Malaysia. Then it should send a message to Kim by working with U.S. and UN investigators to target the mainland banks and companies funneling cash and illicit weapons technology to the North.

Granted, none of this will be easy. At the same time, China should not be looking the other way at Kim’s recent behavior -- or worse, blackmailing South Korea using methods that undermine the bilateral free-trade agreement between them.

Xi’s speech at Davos this year was received with genuine enthusiasm among Asian leaders eager to promote continued trade and globalization in the face of a populist backlash in the West.

Now is China’s opportunity to build on that fragile support.

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.

their hands at the moment, given that Gorsuch, as an attorney, helped to attain one of the largest antitrust verdicts in history against the company.

Gorsuch’s approach to resolving legal problems as a lawyer and a judge embodies a reverence for our country’s values and legal system.

The facts developed in a case matter to him; the legal rules established by legislatures and through precedent deserve deep respect; and the importance of treating litigants, counsel and colleagues with civility is deeply ingrained in him.

Some years ago, he called me about a case he had reviewed on the 10th Circuit’s motions docket involving an Arab Muslim incarcerated in a state prison. The guards allegedly called the inmate “9/11” and mistreated him during his confinement. The district court had rejected the inmate’s claim that his constitutional rights had been violated and dismissed his lawsuit.

Over the phone, though, Gorsuch explained that he thought the plaintiff prisoner might have a valid claim, but couldn’t tell for sure. He asked our law firm to represent the inmate,

They are the people who’ve lost their jobs in coal country and lost their jobs when manufacturing firms closed or moved overseas. They are waiting for the president to make good on his promise during the campaign to bring those jobs back.

Maybe if the president adopts some discipline and focuses on the pledges he’s made, those supporters will see their hopes realized. Only time will tell.

which I agreed to do so long as a younger colleague could be the principal lawyer on the case and argue under my supervision.

Gorsuch agreed and then recused himself from the case to avoid an appearance of conflict. My associate, Janie Nitze, later won a reversal by the 10th Circuit, which reinstated the prisoner’s claims.

That man got his day in court because of Gorsuch’s conscientious approach to judging.

I have no doubt that I will disagree with some decisions that Gorsuch might render as a Supreme Court justice. Yet, my hope is to have justices on the bench such asGorsuch and Garland who approach cases with fairness and intellectual rigor, and who care about precedent and the limits of their roles as judges. The Supreme Court’s work is complex and varied, and we need those qualities of mind and judicial temperament for all cases.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Leaking garbage trucks must stop

To the Editor: Recently, our 52-home subdivision in McHenry Township was forced to start using Prairieland waste removal.

Since week one, their trucks have leaked oily and greasy fluids onto our streets and in front of our homes causing residents who are walking their dogs or children to walk in the middle of the street to avoid the mess.

We contacted Praireland and Christy Hecke at the township said it is because of what people put in the trash and because it was raining.

This is ridiculous. The trucks obviously spew and leak fluids each time out. After having these trucks erode our property values by making our driveway entries look like fastfood drive-ups and degrading our recently repaved roads, we have had to call the sheriff to have them cited for this.

After we contacted the sheriff, Praireland attempted to remove the oil and grease deposited by their trucks without success. Someone needs to be accountable for allowing this company to cause this environmental disaster with impunity degrading our commu-

Trump needs discipline

To the Editor: In the Northwest Herald article, “ProTrump rally draws a crowd,” one of the keynote speakers at the Woodstock Square rally was conservative talk show host and one-term U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh.

Seeing Walsh resurface reminded me of his Oct. 24, 2016, tweet: “On November 8th, I’m voting for Trump.

On November 9th, if Trump loses, I’m grabbing my musket. You in?”

Well, I guess, with a Trump victory, we all dodged a musket ball and avoided a Walsh-led armed insurrection.

At the pro-Trump rally, Walsh stood before the crowd and said: “… I am a free man … responsible for my own life, and government stays the hell out of my life.” I can sympathize with that statement. I’m weary of the president’s many inflammatory tweets, his numerous executive actions, and the

Waiting for Obamacare replacement

To the Editor: The Republicans have built themselves a box that will be tough to get out of. The president said on day one (but no later than the first week), we’ll repeal “disastrous” Obamacare and

replace it with “it’s going to be great” Trumpcare.

As with the last six years of waiting for a better Republican replacement plan, we still are waiting for the Trump replacement plan.

According to the World Health Organization, the United States has moved up the list of countries by life expectancy from the 20.2 percentile in 2010 to the 16.9 percentile in 2015. The reason is simple, more people are able to access routine medical visits and get the medications that treat chronic illness, both of which increase life expectancy. This is due to Obamacare being implemented.

These facts are being reported on even in red states like Iowa, which voted for Trump in 2016. If the “it’s going to be great plan” allows the U.S. ranking to slip, the Republicans will be blamed. As of yet, the Republicans have refused to do the “hard work of governance,” as President Bush Sr. phrased it, and come up with a plan to improve health care for all Americans as Obamacare clearly has done.

We all are waiting.

As a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates and progressive causes, I understand the anger at the Republicans’ mistreatment of Judge Merrick Garland after he was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama.

Partisan advantage reigned over fairness of process, and an exceptionally fine jurist was treated shabbily.

But as Judge Neil Gorsuch - President Donald Trump’s choice for the court seat that Garland would have filled - approaches his confirmation hearings, I fear that the lingering resentments of the past year will cloak a fair consideration of him as a nominee. Gorsuch – my former law partner and longtime friend – is brilliant, diligent, open-minded and thoughtful.

He was the only Supreme Court candidate considered by this administration that I could support. The Senate should confirm him because there is no principled reason to vote no.

As a private-sector attorney, Gorsuch could have practiced with any large corporate law firm in the United

States, but he instead chose a small firm in its very early days - a riskier path, to be sure. Over the course of his career, he has represented both plaintiffs and defendants. He has defended large corporations, but also sued them. He has advocated for the Chamber of Commerce, but also filed (and prevailed with) class actions on behalf of consumers. We should applaud such independence of mind and spirit in Supreme Court nominees.

As a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, Gorsuch has not been the reflexive, hard-edged conservative that many depict him to be. He has ruled for plaintiffs and for defendants; for those accused of crimes as well as for law enforcement; for those who entered the country illegally; and for those harmed by environmental damage.

Anyone who sees Gorsuch as automatically pro-corporation should talk to the officers at Rockwell International and Dow Chemical, against whom he reinstated a $920 million jury verdict for environmental contamination at the Rocky Flats nuclear facility. Executives at U.S. Tobacco Company might also be wringing

BIG THAW?

Looks like some small businesses are ending their hiring freeze

Mavraganis says.

“We’re open to adding great candidates whenever we come across them,” he says.

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – The hiring freeze at small businesses looks like it’s finally thawing.

Recruiting is picking up after being dormant at many companies even years after the recession. The factors behind companies’ decisions to hire vary, with some anticipating a big revenue kick from the Trump administration’s spending plans for defense and infrastructure.

Other are responding to trends such as consumers’ shift to online shopping, which means more jobs at internet retailers. And some hires are at companies whose customers are suffering from anxiety in the early days of the new administration.

The pickup in hiring was clear in a report Wednesday from payroll provider ADP, which said its small business customers added 104,000 jobs in February, following a January gain of 62,000. That compared to an average monthly increase of 33,000 from September through December. Hiring gains for all of 2016 averaged 60,000 a month after fluctuating from 2011 to 2015.

Small business owners had indicated their plans to expand. A survey by the advocacy group the National Small Business Association done in January showed 43 percent of owners expected to hire in the next 12 months, up significantly from 33 percent during the summer. Other surveys have also shown big increases in owners planning to bring on more workers.

It’s a shift from the recession and its aftermath, when many owners were leery about the risks of hiring until they were certain of their revenue. Some owners said they’d keep asking their existing staffs to absorb any additional work.

Rob Basso is witnessing the change from two perspectives. As the owner of a company that provides human resources and payroll services to small businesses, he sees his 3,000 clients adding jobs — an average of one staffer per company in the last year with more hires planned. And because of rising demand from his clients, he’s hired two people in the past few weeks, bringing Advantage Payroll Services’ staff to 45. And he still has five open positions.

Basso’s Freeport, New York-based company had its best January in terms of sales in 20 years.

“My clients are more willing to invest in the products and services I offer be-

A look at why some other businesses are hiring:

HIGHER GAS PRICES, POTENTIAL DEFENSE INCREASES

The rising price of gas and the prospect of increased defense spending are encouraging New Eagle to double its staff, including engineers and it support team, from 24 to 50 in the next 18 months.

The company’s focus includes helping small businesses convert gas-powered vehicles to electric or hybrid power.

When the price of gasoline began rising after Election Day, so did demand for the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company’s services, co-founder Financial Officer Mickey Swortzel says.

A gallon of gas averaged about $2.18 a gallon around Election Day; it’s now $2.34.

Although the Trump administration opposes more stringent clean air standards, interest in electric or hybrid vehicles is still expected to increase, Swortzel says.

“Consumers are demanding it,” she says, noting that pollution is a problem in places like California, Europe and China, where New Eagle has customers.

New Eagle also expects more business from the Pentagon, which has in-

vested in clean energy equipment to reduce its fuel needs, including in combat areas.

“The government’s military spending has opened up additional contracts, which we believe will continue to grow under the Trump administration,” Swortzel says.

RIDING THE ONLINE SHOPPING WAVE

As consumers shop more on the internet, many small online retailers expect sales to grow – and some are hiring to be sure they have enough workers.

The trend was clear from the holiday season; the Commerce Department said online and mail order sales rose nearly 11 percent in December from a year earlier, more than double the gain in overall retail sales.

StoreYourBoard.com, which sells products like racks, carts and wall mounts for storing skateboards, snowboards, skis, kayaks and other items, had a 50 percent revenue increase last year from 2015, and is hoping to repeat that performance this year. It plans to hire at least four workers in 2017, adding to its staff of six, says Andrew Mavraganis, a vice president at the Charlottesville, Virginia-based company. The first new hire started Wednesday.

The company decided not to wait until a further sales increase happens; it doesn’t want to scramble to find help,

Business surged at Rachel Beider’s two massage businesses in New York’s borough of Brooklyn after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, with revenue rising 50 percent that first week. Bookings have remained high and Beider, who has a total of 46 parttime massage therapists at Massage Williamsburg and Massage Greenpoint, needs four more to keep up. She’s also hired a full-time receptionist.

Clients stressed about the political climate are making appointments in hopes that a massage will help them feel better, Beider says.

“Their anxiety is taking a physical toll on their health, manifesting as shoulder tension, neck pain, headaches, insomnia and jaw pain,” Beider says.

Beider was surprised by the increase in her business.

“I wasn’t expecting the volume or frequency of appointments – people are making more visits,” she says.

FIGHTING BURNOUT, LOOKING FOR GROWTH

Business has been growing 80 percent annually at Eco Branding, a marketing firm whose clients include companies involved in clean energy and information technology for cities. CEO Jake Rozmaryn expects revenue to keep rising even with a Republican-led government in Washington, and so it’s time to bring in more staffers to lighten the workload for everyone. The company has seven full-time employees including two recent hires, and is looking for one more.

“We’d rather have a group of happy and healthy employees that have a great work-life balance than a group of stressed and overworked employees that will get burned out after a year and leave,” says Rozmaryn, whose company is based in Washington, D.C. Rozmaryn is optimistic about Trump’s call in his recent speech to Congress for $1 trillion in public and private spending on infrastructure. Spending on roads, bridges and other public works could mean more business for both the industries Eco Branding serves.

“This can help our clients in a big way, and of course, our hiring,” he says.

improvements, if any, might need to take place to get the best price in the quickest time.

Insider advice: Be sure to price your property accordingly based on its condition and with what the market is telling you it is worth, the best offer on a property is typically the first offer, and the longer the property sits on the market, the lower the offers will be. A seller cannot recover from over-pricing property. Once you’ve missed the early window of opportunity, you’re swimming upstream. Just as towns and counties are different, so are neighborhoods. Call a local professional to discuss what’s best for you.

A common question I get is when the spring market starts. Of course, the answer is, it depends. Here’s my opinion on this but others may have a different view.

The spring market typically is a product of weather. In normal years, the spring market seems to hit when we get that first break in temperatures in early February. Most years, the cold weather is broken by a short three- to four-day spell of decent weather in early February. I used to council my sellers that they had to be on the market before that “warmth” hit, which, in my opinion, meant they had to have their home listed and on the market by Feb. 1 of any given year. I still believe this.

Of course, however, this hasn’t been a normal weather year. With springlike conditions arriving in January, the spring market happened a lot sooner than expected. In fact, statistics show January had a 20.5 percent in-

Program encourages students to eat together at lunch Dear Abby: Schoolchildren, especially middle school or high school students who may not be socially adept, often eat lunch alone because they don’t know what to do when it comes to joining other kids at the lunch table. My grandson, who is on the autism spectrum, is one of them.

Classmates would be doing a great service if they said, “Hey, ‘Josh.’

Come sit with me.” It’s a small way to help others, and they could serve as examples/mentors. Kids with autism or some other challenges can learn socialization from helpful peers who are good in this arena.

It’s lonely to eat lunch by yourself.

Please encourage your readers to consider this. – Someone Who Cares

to do that. The pain of social isolation can last far beyond the elementary

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and middle school years and color a person’s expectations of rejection into adulthood. Much of it could be avoided if parents took the time to explain to their children how important it is to treat others with kindness.

In recent years, attention is finally being paid to this. A national organization, Beyond Differences, started a program called “No One Eats Alone” that teaches students how to make friends at lunchtime – which can be the most painful part of the school day.

It’s their most popular program, and schools in all 50 states participate. For more information about the

work they do, visit www.beyonddifferences.org.

It might be helpful if an adult family member discussed your grandson’s isolation with a counselor at his school.

Some schools have started programs in which children who sit alone are gathered together at lunchtime with a teacher or a school therapist so they are not isolated.

This creates a safe space for autistic children. Regardless of how these lunches are organized, the presence of a trained adult is paramount.

Dear Abby: My son and daughterin-law recently had a baby girl. My daughter-in-law and her family have extreme OCD and are afraid of germs.

I wash my hands all the time, but still she seems to cringe when I or anyone in my family holds the baby.

I want a relationship with my

granddaughter. I have expressed my concern to my son, but I don’t want to cause an argument. How can I approach this without causing friction?

– Grandma S. in New York Dear Grandma S.: Your daughter-

in-law is a brand-new mother. Many new parents are nervous about their babies being exposed to germs.

A way to approach it would be to talk with your daughter-in-law in a non-confrontational way and tell her you have seen her reaction when you hold your granddaughter.

Explain that you are careful about hand-washing, and ask if there is anything else she feels you should do. It might make her feel more in control and put her mind at ease.

McHenry’s Kazmaier drops 2nd career fight

By JOHN WILKINSON wilkinson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – As Kendra Kazmaier and Stephanie Morgan embraced after their Muay Thai match Saturday night, the elder, undefeated Morgan thanked the younger woman she had just beaten.

“She said she was beyond grateful that I took the fight, because no one else would, so she just thanked me for it,” Kazmaier, a McHenry resident, said.

Morgan won the fight, part of XFO 60, by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at the UIC Forum, but for Kazmaier it was more about the experience.

“I knew she was going to be tough; I was just really excited,” Kazmaier said. “It didn’t seem like anyone was going to take the fight, so we just thought it would be a good challenge.

I’m just glad that I went out and put on a show. I respect her, she’s great. ...

Kendra Kazmaier, 25-year-old Muay Thai fighter from McHenry

“The only way I’m going to get better is if I go against good people. ...

Win or lose, I just want to learn, I just want to fight.”

It was only the second career fight for Kazmaier, 25, but her second in a span of two weeks. She won her first XFO fight with a first-round knockout.

“She just fought two weeks ago, so it’s her first two fights, a lot of emotions been going on, you could tell she gassed a little bit,” her coach, Clint Blackburn, said. “We knew she

was fighting somebody with more experience, a little older, heavier, so it all played a factor, but she’s going to grow from this. She’s going to come back stronger, and the next girl is going to feel the wrath of her loss in this fight.”

Growing up, Kazmaier’s first passion was soccer, which she played as a four-year varsity athlete at Grant High School in Fox Lake. She grew up with brothers who always wanted to fight, and she said when a friend first took her to a mixed martial arts class almost two years ago, it clicked right away.

“I’m aggressive, and I like to fight,” Kazmaier said. “The first class, I was like, I knew this was what I want to do. I love it.”

Now she works full time and spends the rest of her time at the gym.

After training for a couple of months at another gym, Kazmaier followed

Coaches, officials confused by NFHS’ effort to clarify rule

“It’s really subjective,” he said.

“You’re probably going to get one answer from me and talk to 10 other officials and get maybe six or seven more opinions.”

For his part, Butts said he plans to continue to call hits on quarterbacks as he has in previous seasons.

“I’m going to continue to officiate it the way I have in the past,” Butts said.

“I’m going to try to observe what the defender did. What options did he have prior to hitting that quarterback?

“Did the defender come in with the crown of his helmet or was his face

“It’s unbelievable. All this adrenaline and nerves, and you just feel so alive,” Kazmaier said afterward in her dressing room. “It’s really nerve-wracking back here, but once you’re walking out and the music’s going, the crowd’s out there, it’s like you’re just in your zone. It’s definitely the most exhilarating feeling ever. It’s crazy.”

Blackburn, who had a couple of Wrecking Ball fighters competing Saturday, said he sees promise.

“She has all the pieces. We’re just working on putting them together,” Blackburn said. “The big goal is MMA, that’s where we want to go. But right now we want to build the experience, get her comfortable in front of crowds, get her comfortable striking, because 90 percent of people are good at grappling; 10 percent are really good strikers. We want everything to be even.”

What’s next for Kazmaier is uncertain, other than some rest and then

more fighting.

“We’re going to give her a break.

Give her a little break, let her eat some junk food, and then we’ll see where she wants to go,” Blackburn said. “I’m not in no rush. Amateur is where we learn to fix the mistakes, and we’re not going to make any mistakes unless we get her out there fighting. So we’ll just get her out there, see what she wants to do, and we’ll just go from there and keep progressing and progressing.”

Saturday’s experience, despite her taking a loss, was another step in Kazmaier’s progression.

“To be a fighter, yeah, just like if you want to be a chef you’ve work to be in the kitchen, you’ve got to cook, you’ve got to cut things up, so, yeah, absolutely,” Blackburn said. “I believe that’s what she wants to be, and I think she’ll get there. I think that’s really what she’s going to spend the rest of her life doing, or trying to do.”

Kendra Kazmaier of McHenry awaits the decision in her XFO 60 fight Saturday against Stephanie Morgan in Chicago.

Kazmaier lost.

By KYLE NABORS knabors@shawmedia.com Coaches and officials are no strangers to rule changes in high school football.

The National Federation of High Schools meets each February with representatives from high school athletic associations from across the nation to discuss and implement new rules for the upcoming season.

The changes are commonly met with skepticism – and occasionally annoyance – but one change in particular this year is leaving coaches and officials scratching their heads more than anything.

The confusion stems from the federation’s decision to try to clearly define a defenseless player by providing eight examples. The first one: “A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.”

Lost yet?

You’re not alone.

“The very first thing I thought was that it’s going to make the job of officials much tougher,” Cary-Grove coach Brad Seaburg said. “They’re going to do the best they can, but that’s definitely a gray area.”

Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp shared a similar sentiment.

“There’s a lot being left up for interpretation,” he said. “I want to know

“One of the first things he told me was, ‘This girl here, she could make it, blah, blah, blah,’ and I was like all right,” Blackburn said. “Then, as time went on, it just seems like all she thought about all day was fighting. It’s all she does. She’s at the gym more than most guys. I own the gym, and she’s there as much as me. She’s a lifer. With these types of experiences, this is what’s going to make her grow.”

Even from their entrances Saturday, one could see the difference between the inexperienced Kazmaier, who entered the cage matter-of-factly, and Morgan, who came out in a flashy robe and waving to the crowd cheering her on.

exactly what referees are being told.”

At least for now, it doesn’t appear officials are being told much. IHSA assistant executive Sam Knox said, however, the rule isn’t intended to change how officials call games but rather to provide a clearer definition for violent hits on quarterbacks.

Dave Butts, president of the Northern Officials Association, agreed the NFHS is only trying to provide clarification for the defenseless player rule, but he understands how the vague language has left many searching for answers.

mask up? Did he launch or jump at the quarterback, or did he run through him? Did it look like he slowed up a little bit? Sometimes you can see which players are the overly aggressive ones and who are trying to apply an aggressive hit. Those are the ones they want us to penalize.”

Schremp said he has no problem with the NFHS taking steps to protect players but would like to make sure the federation, officials and coaches are on the same page before the season starts.

“Most of the time rule changes are pretty cut and dry,” he said. “It seems like with these there is a lot of gray area in it. It’s up for a lot of interpretation to the referees on the field. I’m really interested to see how they’re going to call things. I would really like to see some film to say what’s legal and what’s not.”

Among other rule changes, the NFHS elected to outlaw pop-up kicks on onside attempts, meaning kickers no longer will be allowed to drive the ball directly into the ground. Any popup kick will be penalized as a dead-ball free-kick infraction.

Additionally, the federation established a new definition for blindside blocks. “[A blindside block] involves contact by a blocker against an opponent who, because of physical positioning and focus of concentration, is vulnerable to injury. Unless initiated with open hands, it is a foul for excessive and unnecessary contact when the block is forceful and outside of the free-blocking zone.”

A blindside block will cost the offending team a 15-yard penalty.

4 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA DIVISION III TOURNAMENT – AUGUSTANA 77, NO. 12 HANOVER 64

Orange helps Augie reach Final 4 Jacobs grad scores 8 in quarterfinal victory

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Two years ago, Chrishawn Orange watched from a distance as Augustana College finished as runner-up in the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament to Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Shortly after the Vikings’ run to the championship game, Orange, a senior at Jacobs, decided to attend the Rock Island school.

Now, it’s Orange and his teammates’ turn for a trip to the Final Four.

Augustana led almost the entire way as it defeated Hanover (Indiana), 77-64, Saturday in an NCAA D-III quarterfinal played at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

Chrishawn Orange Augustana College basketball player and Jacobs graduate liams (23-8) at a time to be determined Friday.

“It’s exciting, man,” Orange said. “A lot of people didn’t expect us to be here, so it’s great to get it done. We’re pulling for one another in every situation.

We’ve really been playing great (man-to-man) defense and just sharing the ball and making plays.”

The Vikings had a more comfortable time in the second weekend of the tournament than the

first, beating Wartburg, 80-69, on Friday night.

Last weekend, Orange capped a remarkable comeback against defending national champion St. Thomas with a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 77-74 victory. In the second round, against host Wisconsin-Whitewater, Orange again hit the last shot, a 15-footer, with 1.6 seconds remaining for a 72-70 win.

On Saturday night, the Vikings grabbed an early lead and kept it in the five- to nine-point range most of the game. Jacob Johnston led the Vikings with 19 points, Nolan Ebel added 17 and Micah Martin had 12.

This is Augie’s third consecutive trip to the Sweet 16, but it was less expected with Johnston as the lone senior starter.

“We take it game by game and keep believing,” Orange said.

“That’s what we did, kept playing hard and kept coming.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: STATE ROUNDUP

Orr rolls to 2A title; St. Anthony wins 1A crown The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – Chicago Orr seemed to be everywhere during Saturday night’s IHSA Class 2A boys basketball title game.

The Spartans were there when downstate Mount Carmel passed the ball. They were there when the Golden Aces shot the ball. They were even there when Mount Carmel made shots, responding almost every time as the Spartans rang up a decisive 59-39 win for the school’s first championship in boys basketball.

The Spartans (23-5) used their length and quickness to frustrate Mount Carmel all night, creating 13 turnovers, blocking four shots and disrupting the Golden Aces offense constantly. Orr quickly built a double-digit lead in the first quarter and was rarely challenged after.

“One thing we have thrived on all year is our pressure defense,” Orr coach Louis Adams said. “They have bigs that we were concerned with, but we have seen bigs this year. We were able to handle them. Tonight wasn’t different.”

Mount Carmel did make a bit of a run late. Trailing by 14 midway through the third quarter, the Golden Aces hit their first 3-pointer of the game (after being 0-9 at that point). They hit another a minute later and Jackson Marcotte converted a conventional three-point play to cut the lead to nine. That was as close as they’d get.

Marcotte finished with 17 points, Austin Rager grabbed 11 rebounds, and Justin Carpenter had eight points and nine rebounds for Mount Carmel.

Smith added seven assists to his scoring line for the Spartans.

vin Fisher, who entered the weekend averaging 16 points a game, scored nine against McNamara. The Sages got 11 points, six rebounds three assists and three blocks from Luke Stokowski and 10 points and five rebounds from Johnny Dawson.

I always told the staff and taught the players that you point the finger at yourself when you’re a leader.”

The lone NCAA appearance for Illinois under Groce came in his first year.

Then things got worse the next four seasons. The wins dropped from 23 to 20 to 19 to 15 from the 2012-13 season to 2015-16.

The postseason was the same story: The Illini went to the NCAA round of 32 his first season and two NIT appearances followed. They did not play in a postseason tournament last season.

And so it was Saturday, when the Badgers harassed and hounded weary Northwestern in a 76-48 victory that thrust No. 24 Wisconsin into the Big Ten tournament championship game for the third time in five years.

Nigel Hayes scored 18 points and Ethan Happ added 16 for the second-seeded Badgers. They never trailed in their third straight victory – second in the tournament – after a run of five losses in six games.

Northwestern (23-11) was playing for the second time in less than 24 hours,

and it showed. Coming off wins over Rutgers and No. 3 seed Maryland, the Wildcats missed 20 of 27 shots in the first half, had only one assist and trailed 38-21.

Scottie Lindsey scored 16 points for Northwestern, which went 18 for 52 (35 percent) from the floor, was outrebounded 37-27 and didn’t get its second assist until the 8-minute mark of the second half.

final.

Walton finished with 29 points, nine assists, five rebounds, two steals and one turnover and took over the game for the Wolverines (23-11), who have defeated Illinois, No. 13 Purdue and Minnesota since their plane skidded off the runway earlier in the week and delayed their arrival in D.C. They have Walton to thank for getting them to their first conference championship game 2014.

The Golden Gophers (24-9) couldn’t make up for the loss of injured guard Akeem Springs or handle Walton’s surge.

Springs tore the Achilles tendon in his right ankle in Minnesota’s quarterfinal win Friday against Michigan State and is out for the season. New starter Dupree McBrayer had 14 points and played all 40 minutes, but only two bench points showed the potential for problems in the NCAA tournament.

• Sunday, March 12, 2017

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois basketball coach John Groce was fired Saturday after an 18-14 season in which his team was ninth in the Big Ten. The Illini made one NCAA appearance in his five seasons at the school.

Assistant Jamall Walker was appointed interim coach while the school searches for a successor. Groce has two years left on his contract and will receive the balance, about $1.7 million.

“I’ve been evaluating the basketball program since I walked in the door a year ago. This wasn’t the culmination of one game. It wasn’t a single moment where, ‘This is it; this can’t continue,’ ” athletic director Josh Whitman said at a news conference. “It was an assessment that has been ongoing for a long time. I made the decision today.”

Groce was considered one of the nation’s hot coaches when he was hired in March 2012. He left Ohio University after coaching the Bobcats to an 85-56 record and two NCAA tournament appearances in four seasons.

In five seasons at Illinois, Groce was 95-75 overall and 37-53 in Big Ten play.

The Illini were 8-10 in the conference this season, ending the regular season with a loss to last-place Rutgers. They lost, 75-55, to Michigan in their conference tournament opener.

“I take responsibility for everything,” Groce said at the news confer-

bigger fan of those guys than me,” Groce said.

Groce said he had wanted to coach the team in the postseason.

“But that was not my choice,” he said.

Whitman said it was imperative to let Groce go now instead of waiting until after the postseason.

“We’re in a very competitive marketplace,” Whitman said. “This is essentially a game of musical chairs, and we don’t want to be the person left standing when the music stops in terms of identifying our next head coach. We needed to put ourselves in the right position to go out and move aggressively to identify who that coach might be.”

Groce followed two coaches who had enormous success at Illinois. Bill Self went 78-24 and left to take over at Kansas. Bruce Weber followed, went 210-101 and was honored as national coach of the year in 2005 when he took the Illini to the national championship game for the first time.

Whitman said he remembered those glory years as an undergraduate and law student at Illinois.

“I was here 10 years ago and saw the energy. I felt the environment at State Farm Center,” he said. “You couldn’t find a ticket. Every game was an event, every fan was in an orange shirt. The waiting list was thousands of people long to get a season ticket... That was 10 years ago. If we’re not careful, it’ll be 30 years ago. That’s what I can’t allow to happen.”

8 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Switch-hitting Moncada’s bat shows life

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Father knows best.

The White Sox’s Yoan Moncada, a natural right-handed hitter, says he started switch-hitting at age 10 because his father insisted on it. It has worked out pretty well for the 21-year-old, who is rated as the No. 2 prospect in baseball.

From the right side, Yoan Moncada however, Moncada said his swing “is more technical,” whereas from the left side it’s “more fluid.”

Moncada is batting .217 (5 for 23 with five walks, eight strikeouts) and has made four errors in Cactus League play, so he hasn’t lit the Arizona desert on fire. He does have five hits in his past 16 at-bats after starting 0 for 7.

“He’s had some things where you go, ‘Ah, he’s not standing out from anybody till he puts the barrel on the ball,’ ” manager Rick Renteria said. “Then you go, ‘Ah, when he barrels it there’s some life to it.’ ” Renteria said Moncada’s approach has been “solid.”

“He’s not a panicky-type hitter. As he continues to play and garner more expe-

Rangers 5, White Sox 1 (Surprise, Ariz.)

Aside from shortstop Tyler Saladino collecting two hits, including a double, to raise his Cactus League average to .429, the Sox did almost nothing noteworthy. Right-hander Chris Beck, who has struggled, struck out four in two hitless innings.

Rule 5 draft pick Dylan Covey didn’t look as bad as his line of three runs over 22/3 innings showed. A ground ball pitcher, he struck out two and walked one. The Sox are 8-6-1.

QUINTANA CREATES BUZZ Not that Jose Quintana’s trade value needed a boost, but his stellar outing for Colombia against Team USA in the World Baseball Classic on Friday couldn’t have hurt. Quintana opened with five no-hit innings in what broadcaster and Hall of Famer John Smoltz called the best pitching performance he’s seen in a first-round WBC game. There was also a buzz around Sox camp the next day. rience, the things he’s capable of doing will come to the surface.’’

For Kopech, it’s all about command: Michael Kopech, the 100-mph right-hander acquired with Moncada and two other prospects for Chris Sale, makes his second start Sunday against the Texas Rangers at Camelback Ranch.

Kopech was dinged for four runs in-

“He faced an all-star lineup and literally no hit them,’’ fellow left-hander Carlos Rodon said.

Knowing Quintana has been training hard for the WBC, manager Rick Renteria said his ace might be due for backfield work “as opposed to in-game because his intensity level was pretty high yesterday. I’m not worried about Q.’’ IS THIS A GOOD THING OR BAD THING? No. 10 overall draft pick, catcher Zack Collins, hit a three-run homer against James Shields in a minor league scrimmage on the back fields.

Collins was reassigned to minor league camp Friday.

cluding a three-run homer against the Mariners’ Mitch Haniger in his first start, which lasted one inning. Since then he has worked with pitching coach Don Cooper and bullpen coach Curt Hasler in bullpen and live batting practice sessions.

“It’s about pinpointing what you need to work on and establishing a plan

to get better,’’ Kopech said. “Command can never be too good. I always need to be better with command.’’

Fastball command, yes. That’s Kopech’s best pitch. But an emphasis this spring is the changeup.

After Kopech’s first start, Renteria let the 20-year-old down easy, saying his outing wasn’t as bad as the numbers indicated.

“But at the same time I missed spots, I didn’t execute on pitches,’’ Kopech said. “I should have, and they were taking advantage of it – they’re big league hitters.’’

Kopech is ranked No. 32 by Baseball America among prospects, behind Yoan Moncada (No. 2), Lucas Giolito (No. 25) and Reynaldo Lopez (No. 31). MLBpipeline.com has Kopech at 16, behind Moncada and Giolito, but ESPN’s Keith Law rates him as the Sox’s top prospect.

Rodon report: Carlos Rodon, continuing his slow and steady progression to the start of the season, threw 48 pitches to hitters in two segments. Rodon, who said he’ll throw 55-60 next time out in a simulated game on Tuesday, said his arm felt much stronger than when he threw three days before.

“I had a slow start, I had to build up to where these guys were at and we’re getting there now,’’ Rodon said.

“It was a good day. Keep on building.’’

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Maddon confident in Schwarber’s ability to play outfield

By STEVE GREENBERG sgreenberg@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Lots of folks remember how rough it was for Kyle Schwarber in left field during the 2015 NLCS. In the seventh inning of a close Game 3 against the Mets at Wrigley Field, Schwarber reached up to snag a relatively easy line drive and missed the ball. He had a disasKyle trous time charging in on sinking line drives Schwarber in Game 4 at Wrigley, allowing one to sneak under his glove and roll to the wall and the other – on what should’ve been an easy play – to fly over his glove for a cheap hit.

Schwarber’s defensive blunders had no real bearing on a series in which the Cubs were utterly dominated, but there are – understandably – lingering doubts about the big fella’s ability to play it clean as the team’s primary right fielder

The Bears on Saturday signed former Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Prince Amukamara to a one-year deal reportedly fully guaranteed for $7 million. up on the best guy, and I’m trying to take him out of the game.”

Amukamara has played only one 16game season, battling injuries throughout his career, but he missed only two games in 2016 because of a hamstring injury.

Cooper, 27, played in 15 games with 13 starts for the Cardinals last season and had a career-high 69 tackles and four interceptions to go along with 11 passes de-

fensed. He also returned an interception 60 yards for touchdown.

“I’m a taller guy, longer guy. I’ve got some ability to run. I think that’s allowed me to cover guys in a different fashion than some of the smaller guys around the league,” Cooper said.

The 6-foot-2, 192-pounder began his career as a seventh-round pick of the 49ers in 2013 before being claimed off waivers by the Chiefs. He played in ev-

BULLS ANALYSIS

Time for Hoiberg to take a stand against Gar/Pax

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com There’s nothing wrong with being “The Mayor.’’

Fred Hoiberg has worn that nickname well for years.

But now it’s time for the second-year Bulls coach to appoint himself the speaker of the house, because with 17 regular-season games left and an Eastern Conference playoff spot twisting in the wind, that house he’s occupying is a complete mess.

What the front office is trying to do is finally well-documented. That was laid out at last month’s trade deadline when general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson sent out Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott for Anthony Morrow, Joffrey Lauvergne and Cameron Payne.

Make the playoffs, but develop the young roster along the way in order for Gar/Pax to evaluate what they have in

building a new core.

Not an easy task.

More importantly, not a fair task.

Not fair for the veteran players who want to play games that matter in April.

Not fair for a fan base that has watched this front office try to cover up their own missteps the past three years with talk of “rebuilds” and “retooling.”

And mostly not fair for Hoiberg, who is weakening his own standing with his players, coaching staff and fan base by trying to appease his bosses.

Bosses, by the way, who have a history of having no loyalty to previous coaches, displaying little regard in not only firing them, but also having a habit of throwing dirt on the casket with back-handed comments in describing their tenure.

“We revisit it every morning as a staff,” Hoiberg said Saturday when discussing the idea of again playing a 12man rotation in Boston. “Again, you’re always looking at how can you put your

team in the best position to win, while at the same time getting these guys valuable minutes. We have talked about it a lot, we go into every game with a plan.’’

How’s this for a plan?

Stop it.

Going 12-deep in the blowout loss to Houston on Friday was a complete mess. And for what? So Forman can somehow see 12 minutes of Jerian Grant, 16 minutes of Lauvergne and 16 minutes of Payne? Go watch them in practice.

Or is Forman somehow trying to win the trade with Oklahoma City? He can forget that. It was lost upon consummation.

The switching in and out of players so frequently against the Rockets seemed to kill the rhythm and flow after the Bulls built a 10-point first-quarter lead, and the veteran players felt it.

“Night in and night out, you don’t know what it’s going to come down to,’’

Jimmy Butler said after the loss. “Who is going to play what minutes with what lineup. I think that’s hard.’’

The one person who can put his foot down? That’s where Hoiberg comes in.

Obviously, Hoiberg is not one to rock the boat, but no one is asking for another cold war between coach and front office like it was with Tom Thibodeau.

Thibodeau, however, stood up to the wrongs, and his players loved him for it until the water was beyond poisoned by Gar/Pax. Hoiberg needs to simply tighten the rotation to his nine best players – development be darned – and show the locker room that this is a pass/fail business where wins and losses are the barometer. More importantly, show them he will do right by them.

What is the front office going to do?

Fire Hoiberg with three more years and $15 million on his contract? Bulls coaches only have a certain shelf life anyway.

Sometimes “Mayors’’ have even less.

• Sunday, March 12, 2017

Ryan Pace made it clear after the season that the Bears’ secondary needed an influx of talent, and the general manager signed two starter-caliber cornerbacks Saturday: Prince Amukamara and Marcus Cooper.

Amukamara signed a one-year deal, reportedly fully guaranteed for $7 million in 2017.

He said Saturday on a conference call that he was considering a longMarcus term contract from a Cooper different team.

“The Bears really just made it worth my while and not only because of how much the one-year deal was worth,” he said. “It was mainly because of the opportunity that was posed here, and that’s what helped my decision into coming here.”

A 2011 first-round pick by the Giants, Amukamara spent the 2016 season with the Jaguars. He appeared in 14 games with 12 starts and had 49 tackles and six passes defensed. “… I think individually and personally as a player I really just believe that I’m a lock-down corner and my strength are just playing man. Mano-a-mano,” he said of his strengths. “I’m going to line

ery game with six starts as a rookie and had 18 passes defensed and three interceptions, but he was benched late in the season.

Cooper began his career with Vic Fangio and Ed Donatell in San Francisco. He called the Bears’ defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach “geniuses” and said Donatell is one of the reasons he signed with the Bears.

“Ed is one of my favorite coaches,” he said. “I’ve always had a high respect for him. He was a huge part in getting me in this organization.”

The Bears also agreed to terms on a one-year, $4 million contract with receiver Kendall Wright, ESPN’s Adam Caplan reported.

The 27-year-old played for the Titans the past five seasons. He had 94 catches for 1,079 yards and two touchdowns in 2013 when Dowell Loggains was the Titans’ offensive coordinator. Loggains is the Bears’ OC. The past two seasons under a new regime, however, Wright fell out of favor.

He had only 36 catches in 2015 and 29 receptions last season.

The Bears also agreed to terms with offensive tackle Tom Compton.

Compton, who turns 28 in May, played in all 16 games for the NFC champion Falcons last season as a reserve. He spent 2012-15 with Washington and started nine games in 2014.

McHenry County College saw both ends of the spectrum in its baseball doubleheader Saturday at Surry Community College in Dobson, North Carolina.

The Scots scored twice in the sixth inning and twice again in the seventh of the opener to beat Surry, 8-6. Larkin Hanselmann threw a scoreless seventh for the save.

In the second game, MCC again scored twice in the sixth and three more in the seventh, but could not hold a lead as Surry scored twice to tie. The game was called because of darkness, tied at 8 after seven innings.

Sam Hawley was 3 for 4 with four RBIs in the opener for the Scots (1-0-1).

Wyatt Mascarella was 2 for 3 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Peyton Schneider threw four innings in the second game and struck out five batters. Brett Stratinski and Tyler Stamer both homered in that game.

The skeleton in my closet is that I have too much sole Even though we like our house just fine, my wife won’t let me drive past a new model home without taking the grand tour.

And even though the odds of our buying a new house are about as long as my odds to be chosen to colonize Mars, my wife can’t help but to go all goo-goo eyed when she sees the humongous closets in new model homes.

I grew up in a 600-square-foot, two-bedroom house. The closets were tiny divots in the wall that could hold maybe six shirts and three pairs of pants on hangers. If a man and his wife shared the same closet, his shirts and pants would be hanging from a hook on the door, while her dresses and slacks hung from the rod. His two pair of shoes would be sitting outside the closet by the door, because the closet floor would be taken up by her four pairs of shoes.

But on a recent tour of model homes, I realized that a lot has changed since then.

We stepped into one walk-in closet with an entryway nearly the size of my childhood kitchen, and my wife went all goo-goo when the room dog-legged left to reveal the rest of the closet – a cavernous room bigger than my childhood bedroom, even if you threw in the one bathroom we all shared back then. The walls were lined with shelves whose surface area would dwarf the floor-space of my childhood home.

“This is crazy!” I said.

My wife’s eyes screamed “Gooogooooo!”

“What could you possibly do with all that closet space?” I said as I pulled her away to explore the rest of the house. I was worried she might blow an O-ring if she stayed in there too long.

Another couple had just entered the model, and as they tucked into the mammoth closet I heard the lady say, “Now this is what I call a closet!”

Her husband said, in a voice dripping with sarcasm, “Really? You sure you can

get all your shoes in here?”

“Sure,” she said, “if you keep your clothes in the guest-room closet.”

“See, that’s the problem with America these days,” I said to my wife when we got back home. “It’s women and their shoes.

Why does anybody need so many shoes?

Two pairs! That’s all anybody needs. Maybe three if you play soccer.”

My wife gave me that “Oh, really?” look, and she beckoned for me to follow her.

We live in a new-ish house, and she opened the door that led to my section of closet, which is easily triple the size of any closet in my childhood home.

She pointed at the floor, where a jumble of my shoes lay.

“Well, yeah but…” I said. I expected her to cut me off, but she just waited for me to finish. She didn’t have to wait long, because “Well, yeah but…” was all I had.

In my defense, it’s not like I wear all those shoes all the time. My everyday-use shoes are usually in the living room – my house slippers, my driving shoes, my takea-stroll shoes, my other take-a-stroll shoes.

No, these in the closet are my special-use shoes, or maybe old everyday shoes that still have a bit more use left in them.

Take my rubber-soled sandals with the canvas straps, for example. They’re great for walking on the beach – even though I don’t go to the beach all that much anymore, and I usually walk barefoot when I do. And those water shoes are perfect when the beach is rocky, even though all the beaches around here are soft and sandy. And those leather sandals are great when I want to look a bit more dressed-up at a beachside bar or restaurant.

Of course, my boat shoes look good at places like that, too, so they’re in there.

Along with those older boat shoes that have stretched out a bit, but they still fit

perfectly whenever I want to wear them with socks.

When it comes to other leather shoes, I keep that one nice broken-in pair if I want to take a long walk. My wife would think they’re too ratty for when we go out, so I have that other unscuffed pair for dressup. And another pair that looks better when I wear jeans. And of course those black wingtips just in case somebody dies and I have to wear my dark suit.

I don’t jog anymore, but I still have that pair of jogging shoes in case the mood hits me – and those older joggers that still have plenty of tread and won’t hurt my arches if I get new inserts. And that pair next to them may look like jogging shoes, but they’re actually fishing shoes with specially built-in ports to let the water drain out. And I keep that other pair of fishing shoes, of course – the old ones – if I’m going fishing someplace muddy and don’t want to ruin my good new fishing shoes.

Those cloth slip-ons with the flat rubber sole are perfect for when I want to work in the garden. And of course I have that plastic pair for when the grass is wet.

And those boots in case I ever decide to go hunting again. And the insulated ones for cold-weather hunting. And the insulated high-top rubber ones for ice fishing – which I haven’t done in years, but still….

I haven’t played soccer in years either, but…well, you know.

And of course I have to keep my Chucks. Because they’re Chucks.

So, sure, I’ve got a few pairs of shoes.

But I’m not like a woman. I don’t need a cavernous closet to hold them.

Because beyond the few I’ve listed here, I keep my extras in the garage.

EnvironmentTip Tips to help you “go green” efficiently

In many ways “going green,” or being sensitive to the use of our natural resources, is about efficiency.

Or in other words being

conscious about behaviors and having monitoring efforts in place help to hold us accountable.

Here are a few tips to put those ideas into action.

• Update mailing lists to avoid

sending out unnecessary letters, thus saving the paper, printing and postage.

• Monitor the use of supplies.

Keeping tabs on how much is being spent and used can make us more careful about what’s

being wasted.

• Eliminate screen savers. Set a company policy that disallows the use of screen savers, and set monitors to power off after the same amount of time.

It’s that easy.

GARAGE TREND?

Think versatility, not just parking here

By KATHERINE ROTH

T

The Associated Press

he American garage is world famous. But not necessarily for cars.

Silicon Valley started in the Palo Alto, California, garage of the Packard family, where Hewlett-Packard was founded, according to the National Register of Historic Places. Steve Jobs launched Apple in his parents’ garage. And dozens of American bands started in garages. Amazon, Disney, Google, Harley-Davidson? All famously launched out of garages.

Garages have, for generations, been places for tinkering and creating, where kids build soapbox-derby cars or refinish kayaks. Some garages are home to small catering kitchens or extensive wine collections, and many feature extra refrigerators or freezers.

And of course, they often serve as a deep storage and workshop space.

Designers and architects say the idea of the garage as the ultimate multi-purpose room is alive and well, and that modern garages are finally being seriously retooled to better suit those myriad uses.

“When it comes to garage design, functionality is always key. I’m seeing a lot more glass garage doors, whether frosted or clear. It’s more fitting for most modern homes, and makes the

‘‘

Raw concrete floors are out, frequently replaced by more versatile epoxy or modular rubber flooring, designers say.

“Clients want a floor that can be easily cleaned and mopped, like any other room in the house,” Savage said.

And if the garage has windows, he includes window treatments that match those in other parts of the house.

Storage units on wheels can be easily rearranged in a pinch, he says, and some garages include not just refrigerators but kitchenettes.

Margaret Mayfield, an architect living in Los Osos, California, keeps her washer and dryer in the garage, with most of the floor reserved as a workspace for refinishing furniture and other tinkering projects. Her family’s three cars are parked in the driveway, never in the garage.

“You’re supposed to keep your cars in the garage, but I hardly know anyone who does,” said David Hirsch, a partner Jonathan Savage at Urban Architectural Initiatives who Savage Interior Design splits his time between California and New York City.

“My neighbor uses his for woodspace more versatile because it lets working projects, and my daughter in the light,” said Jonathan Savage of uses hers as a sort of casual space and Nashville-based Savage Interior Design. playroom for the kids.

steel framework over a gravel driveway – goes unused, he said.

Sheri Koones, author of “Prefabulous Small Houses” (Taunton, 2016) and other books on home building, says garage doors are getting more attention these days.

“Individualizing a garage door makes the entire house look much more interesting,” she said, citing a recently constructed house in Santa Monica, California, where leftover strips of orange kitchen counter were used to build a striking and artistic garage door.

“They purchased a garage door without siding, laid it all out in the driveway and, using scraps from the construction, really made a gorgeous piece of art,” she said. “They made it into so much more than just an ordinary garage door. It’s the most beautiful garage door I’ve seen anybody do, and it adds so much to the look of the whole house.”

Koones also said there is greater demand now for good ventilation in garages, for built-in fittings to facilitate organization, and for garages that are separate from the rest of the house, as opposed to attached garages.

“The garage is such a useful and important space in American culture, and making optimal use of it is much cheaper and more convenient than renting an extra space somewhere,” Hirsch said.

With rooftop decks, sky’s the limit for outdoor entertaining

By KIM COOK

B

The Associated Press

This undated photo provided by Chicago Roof Deck and Garden shows a roof deck in Chicago designed by the Chicago-based design-build firm.

ackyards and balconies are great places to enjoy an al fresco meal or a sun bath, but to really elevate your outdoor lifestyle, consider going up. To the roof.

Rooftop decks were fairly common in early 20th century Craftsman and modernist homes, particularly on the West Coast. More recently, the trend has moved to city cores, where ground-floor outdoor space is minimal.

A rooftop deck is nice if you’re lucky enough to have expansive nature views – water, mountains, desert, forest. But it’s also attractive to city dwellers keen to escape the confines of the concrete jungle without decamping to the wilderness. A vista of evening lights, with the city quite literally at one’s feet, can be captivating, and add value to your home.

PRIVACY

Urban rooftop decks might need to be screened from nearby buildings, or from unsightly elements like water towers or air-conditioning units.

Laser-cut steel, wood or tempered glass do the job, and add a decorative element.

Los Angeles architect Dan Brunn has done several beach-adjacent rooftop projects. He cautions that seaside decks need good wind screening, and homeowners must be mindful of community height restrictions. Wind can also be a problem for outdoor grills, keeping them from heating up properly.

Use planters, pergolas and gazebos to define areas of a rooftop deck, Brunn says.

“The other great thing about a gazebo structure is that it can house heating elements and lighting,” he says.

Pergolas provide some privacy and shade, too. Ipe is a popular wood because it’s durable and insect-resistant.

Chicago Roof Deck & Garden, in the city’s Bucktown/Lincoln Park neighborhood, has even made them out of reclaimed barn wood. “With the client, we developed a material palette that mimicked the contemporary, steel-and-beam loft feel of the interior,” says company principal Adam Miller.

PERSONALIZED SPACE

Everyone has a different use for

outdoor space, so feel free to customize.

Miller recalls one beer-loving client who wanted his rooftop deck to feel like a bar.

“He had this great collection of growler jugs,” recalls Miller. “So we built a growler wall on the west end of the deck. It picks up the late afternoon sun to give the space a really cool glow.”

For a family with children, the company custom-built a hanging daybed and installed a hot tub on the roof.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Echoing the aesthetic of the home’s interior can create a cohesive feel. Use a similar color palette in weather-resistant fabrics and paint, and incorporate design elements like industrial shelving or a comfy rattan sectional.

Miller says space and weight are two of the biggest challenges on rooftop decks. A kitchen, lounge space and dining area can be a lot to fit on a roof. And you can’t use heavy pavers or counters.

He and his team have developed a lightweight concrete that holds up well to the Chicago climate.

Anthony Carrino, a builder in Jersey City, New Jersey, like to use engineered quartz products, like Dekton,

for outdoor kitchens and entertainment counters, because it’s durable.

“We’re hit with every type of weather possible, from blizzards to summers with 100 degree heat,” he says. “To have a product that looks just like natural stone and requires no maintenance is a dream when creating an outdoor kitchen.”

For cabinetry, a Wallingford, Connecticut company Danver Outdoor Kitchens makes a powder-coated stainless steel line that can be ordered in a range of colors and finishes.

Besides regular storage, you can use cabinets to house smokers, fridges and other outdoor appliances, for a streamlined look that mimics an indoor kitchen.

Dining and lounge furniture now resembles interior furniture more than ever. Look for big, comfy sectionals, cool bar stools, and finishes ranging from weathered wood looks to textural weaves and sleek modern silhouettes. For rooftops, look for heavy pieces that won’t sail off on a windy day.

While ipe and other marine-grade woods make beautiful decking, a less costly flooring to consider is tile.

Slate, granite, ceramic, plastic and simulated wood squares are easier to lay on an uneven rooftop. HandyDeck,

Fiberon and Greatmats are some options.

Homeowners need to check regulations on fuel sources for rooftop fireplaces and cooking appliances.

GARDENS IN THE SKY

Weather is a consideration not just for the deck’s structural and decorative elements, but for landscaping.

“Hardy plants that can take a lot of wind – and salt, in coastal areas – are a must,” says Miami designer Fernando Wong. “I have an 80/20 rule for my landscapes: 80 percent hardy, and 20 percent flowers and other plants that add beauty but are more fragile. We sometimes use the same plants on the ground, to create cohesion between the two spaces.”

The goal is to use greenery that softens the roof’s hard materials.

Wong says he likes to use a limited color palette in creating lush spaces; two colors, and one of them is green.

“I’ll incorporate lots of flowering vines and things that cascade out of pots and planters,” he says.

“I like rooftop gardens because they’re so unexpected. There is something so wonderful about being high up off the ground, and seeing a lush garden in such an inhospitable place for plants.”

NON-FLOWER GARDENS

Choose from 50 shades of green, plus other colors

By KIM COOK The Associated Press

W

hile beds tumbling with flowers are lovely, there’s an emerging trend in landscape design: the flowerless garden.

Non-traditional gardens are no less green. In fact, the hue is often more obvious than in a floral-filled space.

Varieties of leafy shrubs, trees, vines and grasses create a verdant vista, even in small gardens. An additional perk: these gardens may be significantly easier to maintain than a plot full of posies.

Justin Hancock of Costa Farms, a nursery in Miami, describes two types of non-traditional gardens: “One is a soothing, naturalistic garden that’s filled with different shades of green,” he said. “The other is a little more flamboyant and uses variegated plants to bring in splashes of color.”

Both offer a pleasing aesthetic in all seasons, and you don’t need to worry about plants going in and out of bloom.

SERENITY

A Zen-like garden keeps the focus on the garden structure itself, with greenery that’s calming.

Shawn Fitzgerald of the Kent, Ohiobased Davey Tree Company, thinks hardscaping should also be a consideration in these gardens.

“A water feature always adds a nice element – a pond, or a creek, with the sound of running water. It’s especially nice if you have some lush foliage over the water,” he said.

He encourages adding of rocks, perhaps some large and small boulders strategically placed.

“And, of course, benches are always great,” Fitzgerald said. “Who doesn’t like to sit and reflect in a peaceful garden, under some nice shade cover?”

VISUAL INTEREST

Hancock suggests using variegated shrubs or trees to add color and texture to a garden. Give similarly hued plants like hostas, dusty miller and succulents a tonal frame by placing them next to bluestone pavers, he suggests. Or play with scale perception by graduating dark and light greenery along a pathway.

“One of my favorite ways to make

a small space feel larger is to plant varieties that have rich green, purple, or orange foliage up front, and incorporate white-variegated leaves at the back. Because the light color recedes, it creates an optical illusion of more space,” he said.

No matter what hardiness zone you’re in, there’s one annual he recommends for any non-traditional garden.

“Coleus is one of the most versatile foliage plants you can choose. Some tolerate full sun, but most grow in shade, too,” he said. “You can get varieties in so many colors. Redhead, which is a personal favorite; Campfire, which is purple and orange; chartreuse Wasabi; gold Honeycrisp. Plant these in the spring, and enjoy them right through the fall.”

Sweet potato vine is another easy-care annual, with multi-colored varieties.

“On the perennial side, hostas are beautiful shade plants that thrive from Alaska way down to Texas,” Hancock said. “Variegated liriope has a wide planting range, and has deep green, grassy leaves edged in gold or silver.”

A relapse, a slip or an unfortunate accident?

I have an addiction and recovery quiz for you today.

There was a woman who had stopped drinking for many years. She attended AA meetings periodically, but never seemed to grasp recovery concepts and most people considered her “dry” rather than “sober.” She regularly saw herself as a victim and seemed angry at the world. She professed a religious belief, but used her Christian friends as money lenders and enablers. One day, she was cleaning the kitchen cabinets under the sink, found two beers and “accidentally” drank them. Did she have a relapse, a slip or an unfortunate accident?

There was a guy who sobered up a few years back. He was, among other things, a chaos junkie. Bad news fol-

lowed him around like a dust cloud.

This included divorces, addicted teenage kids, police at the house, scamming for money, physical altercations and medical disasters to name a few.

He was engaging, convincing and, at times, helpful to others. With the many physical illnesses and injuries came a vast supply of various medications, some not advisable for recovering people. This didn’t stop our friend from using them.

One day, a recovering friend noticed our subject was acting strangely and, when questioned, he explained he thought he was taking his pain pills but accidentally took ecstasy.

Did he have a relapse, a slip or an unfortunate accident?

Another person had a legendary al-

cohol and drug history complete with multiple detoxes, outstanding warrants, dangerous criminal friends and family members that drank as much or more than he. Over the course of time, he was able to stop periodically, with some help from rehab, counseling and a bit of AA. There were some good years and some bad years, but, overall, he drank much less frequently, only used marijuana occasionally and was able to live, if not comfortably, at least not in jail.

His family felt he was doing well “compared to the way he used to be,” and he mostly felt that way, too. He went to AA occasionally and was confused by the insistence sobriety meant complete abstinence. He would manage for a few months, give in and

have a few cocktails and feel emotionally relieved, yet guilty, and repeat the cycle wondering why things weren’t getting better. He would tell people, “I didn’t get drunk.” His family regularly cheered him on and then offered him alcohol. Did he have a relapse? Is doing better good enough?

I hope you find these examples opportunities to explore what you conceive of as relapse, sobriety and recovery.

Scientist talks reproduction at Opera House program NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – What does “natural” really mean when it comes to sex, pregnancy and parenting?

Robert Martin, PhD, discusses reproduction from the basic biology of sperms and eggs to the complexities of birth control and assisted fertility, offering a look at our evolutionary past and insights into what worked, what didn’t and what it means for the future of our species.

Martin, who is emeritus curator

• GARDEN Continued from page 5 Heuchera, also known as coral bells, “is another perennial that, like coleus, offers tremendous versatility with leaves in a wide range of colors, and varieties that thrive in sun or shade,” Hancock said.

Fitzgerald recommends palm trees for southern zones 8-11.

Gardeners in the Mid-Atlantic might consider cool-season grasses

of biological anthropology at Chicago’s Field Museum, appears at 10 a.m.

March 16 at the Woodstock Opera House. Tickets are $25 each and may be purchased through the Opera House box office at 815-338-5300 or at www. woodstockoperahouse.com.

The program is part of the Creative Living Series sponsored by the Woodstock Fine Arts Association, now in its 53rd season.

Attendees are invited for coffee and conversation at the Stage Left Café beginning at 9 a.m. that bloom early, and warm-season ones that bloom at summer’s end.

For the Northeast, varieties of conifers provide year-round greenery.

Hancock’s pick for a great North American native shrub is ninebark.

“It’s practically bulletproof, and offers colorful foliage,” he says.

“Diabolo is an older variety that has deep purple leaves from spring to fall and grows big, making it a stunner.

Dart’s Gold is a smaller variety, with golden-chartreuse leaves.”
