TODAY’S TALKER

Join the madness; fill out an NCAA bracket

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press Here’s one thing millions of Americans can agree on: March Madness is fun, especially when there’s a little money on the line.

So much fun, in fact, that more people will fill out NCAA Tournament brackets this week than voted for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in last year’s presidential election.

Combining all those $10 and $20 entry fees that go along with most of the 70 million-plus office pools being filled out as we speak, Americans will put in the neighborhood of $2 billion at stake when the tournament kicks off later this week.

But although the brackets and the money spent on them have driven the tournament’s popularity upward – the 2015 tournament was the most-viewed in more than two decades, while last year’s took a hit because the Final Four was televised exclusively on cable – the NCAA itself does not condone gambling or filling out brackets for anything more than fun.

Adding to the outlandishness of it all – CBS, which combines with Turner Sports to pay more than $1 billion a year to televise every game of the tournament through 2032, runs one of the country’s biggest bracket contests, offering players a chance to form their own private pools (for fun, of course) or to compete for prizes, including a trip to the 2018 Final Four (no purchase necessary).

The NCAA also runs a bracket contest on its own website.

But in a statement on gambling, it reminds players that while entering a bracket contest that doesn’t require an entry fee is not banned by the NCAA (but might be barred by individual schools), that “we have learned that these types of pools are often the entry for youth to begin betting.”

“While the bracket is an important part of the excitement around the tournament, money does not have to be involved to enjoy March Madness,” NCAA director of public and media relations Stacey Osburn said.

It certainly can make things more interesting, however.

The American Gaming Association estimates that, in total, about $10.4 billion will be wagered on the three-week hoops extravaganza that starts Tuesday with opening-round games and

WHERE IT’S AT

ends April 1 and 3 at the Final Four in Phoenix.

That’s $1.2 billion more than last year. Only $295 million of that will be bet legally – mainly at sports books in Nevada.

Geoff Freeman of the AGA, which seeks to destigmatize gambling while making it legal in more parts of the country, said the NCAA’s stance is “strange” and “hypocritical.” ‘’The other word is, it’s dangerous,” Freeman said.

The AGA, the lobbying arm for commercial and tribal casinos, believes the more regulatory eyeballs placed on the games if gambling became legal in more places, the less chance there is of point shaving and other forms of tampering, the likes of which have hit the college game hard in the past.

“I don’t know that the office basketball pool should be messed with,” said Bo Bernhard of the International Gaming Institute at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “But the broader, more important issue is that there’s widespread wagering on sports that goes unmonitored, unregulated, and that’s where you can get in trouble.”

NBA commissioner Adam Silver is among the most high-profile U.S. sports leaders acknowledging the reality that gambling is an ever-growing part of the American fabric.

He said it adds to engagement and believes gambling “should be brought out of the underground.”

The NFL still has a strict no-gambling policy, but gives tacit recognition to its role in the game by providing detailed injury reports. The league is strongly considering moving a team, the Raiders, to Las Vegas – an unthinkable notion for decades.

The NFL also turns a relatively blind eye to fantasy football. Weekly fantasy football is considered gambling in a handful of states, most of which have differing definitions of what’s legal, mainly relating to the amount of luck vs. skill is involved in the game being wagered on.

That debate currently is brewing across the country as daily-game fantasy sites fight for their survival.

When it comes to office pools, however, Bernhard said you don’t have to be a lawyer to understand the basic idea.

“Clearly, it’s betting something of value on an event whose outcome is in doubt, and that’s the definition of gambling,” he said. “But it’s not something legal authorities are looking to crack down on.”

RUZANSKI VS. MULCAHY

Issues include diversity, staff conduct, sanitation system efficiency

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A lack of diversity on the Village Board, the village president’s domestic battery charge and changes in village staff have become issues in the two-way race for Lake in the Hills village president.

Lake in the Hills Trustee Russ Ruzanski is challenging incumbent Village President Paul Mulcahy for his seat in the April 4 consolidated election.

Ruzanski, 70, has been a Lake in the Hills trustee since 2011. Before then, he served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for two years and the Business Relations Committee for four years, leading it for two.

“I know I have the skills to do it,” Ruzanski said. “In fact, some of the issues that I have that are not being addressed right now, I will be able to address. ... The big thing is diversity.”

Mulcahy, 65, served as a Lake in the Hills trustee from 1997 to 2001 before serving as chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission from 2002 to 2007. He became a trustee again in 2007 before becoming village president in 2013.

“I actually think my record speaks for itself,” Mulcahy said. “Our community was just rated in a survey called the ‘Best Small Cities in America’ in the 98th percentile.”

One of Ruzanski’s criticism’s of Mulcahy’s term has been that he hasn’t promoted diversity in the village, and he most recently did not choose a woman to fill the spot left vacant after Trustee Paula Yensen left.

“The No. 1 person, or president in this case, they need to develop at least a culture of diversity,” Ruzanski said. “… Right now, it’s almost archaic that we don’t approach it – that is my feeling.”

Mulcahy, who has appointed four men since he was elected village president, said he always has considered women candidates, but it’s not his responsibility to appoint a woman to the board.

“My responsibility, if there is an opening on the board, is to find the best possible person,” Mulcahy said, adding that for the first two appoint-

Part of what Ruzanski said pushed him to run for village president was when Mulcahy was charged with domestic battery in November. Mulcahy allegedly grabbed a woman he was in relationship with by the feet and dragged her down a flight of carpeted stairs.

Mulcahy said he is “ashamed” of the incident and the negative publicity it has caused for the village. However, he said he has proved in the months since then that he is able to effectively operate the village.

Mulcahy has a final hearing scheduled for April 12, according to records from the McHenry County Circuit Court clerk’s website.

“We all make mistakes, no question about that,” Ruzanski said. “But at the same point in time, when you’re in a public position, [you’re] held to a little higher esteem, I believe, and responsibility.”

Throughout the past year, former Village Administrator Gerald Sagona and Village Administrator Doug

Petroshius have been put on administrative leave.

Petroshius was hired to fill Sagona’s spot, and both Mulcahy and village trustees were part of the process to appoint the village administrator.

Ruzanski said that if he were village president, he would work with the village administrator to help improve performance, and he would conduct regular performance reviews. Mulcahy said a performance review of the village administrator is required and is something he has always done.

Cary-Grove staff, community members meet to discuss open principal position

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CARY – About 60 combined staff, parents and community members attended a meeting Monday night to discuss the open principal position at Cary-Grove High School.

Principal Jay Sargeant is resigning from the position effective July 1.

District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said Sargeant notified him of the decision earlier this year, and the decision was made for “personal reasons.” “[Sargeant] made a decision to do what’s best for him and his family, and we respect that,” Thomas said.

Sargeant was not immediately available to comment on his resignation.

The meeting took place Monday night at Cary-Grove High School, allowing the community to give its feedback regarding the open position.

Thomas led the meeting, asking community members what they want to see from the next principal and what they would like to see improved at the school.

Some of the characteristics that community members said they want to see from the next principal included good communication skills, the ability to

lead by example, someone who is an advocate for the community and someone who has experience in a high school setting.

“I’d like whoever is selected to continue what Jay Sargeant has done,” parent Missi Brezina said. “Someone who won’t take the school down a different path with different ideas than Jay had.”

Thomas said the district will be looking for “someone who is going to be invested in this community.”

The district also has been talking with students and faculty to get their thoughts on what they want to see from the next principal, Thomas said.

Cary resident Kassie Pinter, whose son is a junior at Cary-Grove, said she was devastated when she heard about Sargeant’s resignation.

“Jay’s resignation will change the trajectory of this entire school,” Pinter said. “Parents, volunteers, teachers and, most of all, students will be profoundly impacted.”

“Dr. Thomas, I don’t think you have any idea how crucial that man is to this school and to these children,” Pinter said at the meeting. “Otherwise, you would have done everything in your power to ensure he manned this ship for at least the tenure of your term, if not long beyond that.”

Thomas responded by saying he wishes he could have kept Sargeant, but in the end, it’s Sargeant’s decision.

“I wish I could turn back the clock and wish we could have convinced [Sargeant] otherwise,” Thomas said.

As of Monday night, Thomas said two internal candidates and more than 40 external candidates have applied for the position.

Thomas said he hopes a new candidate is chosen by next month, and he wants to be aggressive in the search so good candidates don’t go somewhere else first.

Another meeting is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Crystal Lake South High School.

That meeting will include discussion on Crystal Lake South Principal Scott Shepard moving to his new role of assistant superintendent of educational services, leaving an opening for a principal at South as well.

The principal positions are posted on the district website, and applications will be reviewed through the end of the month.

After screening the candidates, Thomas said there will be three rounds of interviews before final selections are made.

Lake in the Hills trustees consider firing new village administrator

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills trustees will consider firing Village Administrator Doug Petroshius after only three months on the job – a move that could cost more than $70,000.

Petroshius was placed on administrative leave Wednesday, Village President Paul Mulcahy said.

In a statement released Monday, Mulcahy said Petroshius’ “approach, attitude and manner of communicating regarding village affairs is not in alignment with or compatible with the village at any level.”

Petroshius was hired to fill the position left by former Village Administrator Gerald Sagona, who was placed on administrative leave and resigned after about 20 years on the job.

A four-person committee – including Lake in the Hills human resources coordinator Anita Neville, attorney Richard Flood, social worker Sue Blechschmidt and Mulcahy – interviewed candidates for the position last year before four finalists were interviewed by the Village Board, Mulcahy said.

“Technically, he’s got all the capabilities,” Mulcahy said of Petroshius. “… There are things you can’t discern from a person in the interview process.”

Mulcahy said Petroshius adopted several policies that disrupted the public and the village’s organizational structure and employee satisfaction, including requiring public works employees to drive back to their personal vehicles to take a lunch break rather than stopping for lunch near where they are working.

“This policy was not only an ineffi-

“Technically, he’s got all the capabilities. … There are things you can’t discern from a person in the interview process.”

Paul Mulcahy

Lake in the Hills village president cient and irresponsible use of our taxpayers’ dollars, but Mr. Petroshius was also telling our dedicated employees that the village does not trust them,” Mulcahy said in a statement. “The board does trust our employees.”

Petroshius also gave people inaccurate information on the board’s decision to end the lease with Silver Linings Equestrian, as discussed at Thursday’s Village Board meeting.

Mulcahy said Petroshius also changed and Doug disrupted the operation Petroshius of the police department.

Mulcahy said that although he holds Petroshius in high regard for being an ethical person, his actions in the past few months indicated he is not the right fit for Lake in the Hills.

“We want our administrator to be a person who is a fixture of our community, and in order to be a fixture, the person needs to be in tune with the residents, the staff, the board’s direction and the organizational structure,” Mulcahy said in a statement.

Petroshius could not immediately be reached for comment.

Mulcahy said the Village Board discussed Petroshius’ job in closed session March 7. No action is required by the Village Board to put someone on administrative leave, Mulcahy said.

Petroshius was offered the opportunity to resign and had been given until Friday to make a decision, Mulcahy said, which is why he and trustees wouldn’t comment on the situation until after Friday.

According to Petroshius’ contract with the village, his position cannot be terminated without cause before the end of the village president’s elected term.

Because of this, Mulcahy said that if Petroshius’ termination is approved, he will remain on administrative leave until May 11.

Petroshius would continue to be paid his annual salary of $140,000 through that time. After that, he’d get six months’ severance pay if his position is terminated, under the terms of his contract, Mulcahy said.

Mulcahy said he expects Assistant Village Administrator Jennifer Clough to head the village’s day-to-day operations in the interim. The process for filling Petroshius’ position has not yet been determined, Mulcahy said.

“I don’t feel a real sense of urgency,” Mulcahy said. “[Clough] has demonstrated that she can fill the position several times. I’m confident that the village will continue without any glitches.”

The Village Board will consider Petroshius’ termination at its 7:30 p.m. meeting March 23 at Lake in the Hills Village Hall, 600 Harvest Gate.

Wonder Lake man sentenced after 6th DUI

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Wonder Lake man was sentenced to eight years in prison Monday after he pleaded guilty to his sixth drunken driving offense.

Robert J. Miller, 59, was convicted of one count of aggravated driving under the influence, a Class X felony. The case was set for a bench trial before Judge Sharon Prather, but Miller agreed to plead guilty to the felony charge as part of a deal with prosecutors reached just before the

trial began. A Class X felony typically is punishable by six to 30 years in prison.

Miller was charged in August 2015 with aggravated fleeing, driving with a suspended or revoked license, resisting a peace officer and aggravated driving under the influence after deputies from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office saw Miller leaving Horizontals Bar in Wonder Lake. As he was backing out, deputies heard Miller squeal his tires and accelerate at a high rate of speed.

Deputies followed Miller and activated their overhead lights, but he in-

creased his speed, traveling at more than 80 mph.

While fleeing, he blew through a stop sign and was weaving in and out of traffic. He only stopped once he came to a dead end road, prosecutors said.

Miller is required by law to serve 50 percent of the eight-year sentence.

In addition to prison time, he also will complete three years of mandatory supervised release.

In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed all other charges against him.

MARENGO – Before City Administrator Gary Boden stormed out of a Marengo City Council meeting Monday, officials addressed allegations that Boden was drunk when he crashed into a parked car in the parking lot of a Sullivan’s Foods store in February.

“I find it very disappointing because there is no foundation for these allegations,” Boden said.

Boden crashed his car Feb. 14 into a parked car in the parking lot of Sullivan’s, and several store employees said he “reeked” of alcohol.

Marengo Police Sgt. Rodney Riley investigated the incident but did not have Boden take a blood-alcohol breath test, and Riley said that he didn’t notice signs of impairment.

No citations were issued because the incident took place on private property, and Boden was cleared to leave.

Boden said he had been at work five minutes before the incident. He added that he had been with people all day at the office and had been to lunch with the police chief, Riley and the mayor that day.

“Me drinking during that time was clearly, unmistakably, not happening during that time,” Boden said.

Boden said he discovered that Alderman Dennis Hammortree submitted a Freedom of Information Act for the police report of the incident, and he suspected that Hammortree was behind making the crash public. Boden alleged that Hammortree has a lack of respect for him and wanted to ruin the administrator’s reputation.

“I am asking – because this is a fabrication of falsehood, that in this era of dirty politics – that we stop doing these things,” Boden said. “Because it’s my own reputation I have concern about, and it’s my own reputation as far as I deal with people in the community that I can rely upon.”

Boden and Hammortree exchanged heated remarks later in the meeting when discussing an unrelated issue, which led to Boden storming out.

That didn’t impress Marengo resident Bill Renter.

Renter tried to address the Boden incident during the public comment portion of the meeting, but Mayor Donald Lockhart cut him off because the item wasn’t on the agenda.

“It’s not the way it’s supposed to be,” Renter said. “I pay my taxes. I am here to be heard. They shut you down, and that’s typical. … And you have the city administrator that walks right out of the meeting, storms off. This is what he is paid to do. You stay. Speak to your constituents.”

Gander Mountain to close 32 unprofitable stores NORTHWEST HERALD

ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Gander Mountain is among 32 stores that the outdoor retailer plans to close after filing for bankruptcy last week.

The St. Paul, Minnesota-based company believes it has some profitable stores it can sell, and in the meantime, it will close underperforming or unprofitable stores, according to bankruptcy court records. Other Illinois stores slated for closure include Springfield and Champaign, according to the filing.

“Despite aggressive actions to improve the efficiency of the company’s retail operations and support functions, the underlying financial impact from underperforming stores and unproductive, excess inventory hampered efforts to create a sustainable path forward,” the company said in a news release.

Spring break is time to get out of dodge SPONSORED BY

Wondering where to go for spring break this year?

If you want to stay in the states, think Florida.

Patty DeRoo, owner of Crystal Lake Travel Agency, Inc., said it’s always a popular spring break destination.

The beaches, Disney, cruise ports, sunny skies and warm temperatures are just some of the state’s many attributes.

If you live in the midwest, the latter two are especially what you’re craving by the time March rolls around.

Florida. Some of the best beaches can be found in Sanibel Island, Naples, Key West, and St. Petersburg.

Besides Disney’s Magic Kingdom, you’ll find EpcotandHollywoodStudios.Orlandoisalso home to SeaWorld.

All-inclusive resorts in both Mexico and the Caribbean are also popular spring break destinations.

And said, DeRoo, they “guarantee great weather.”

maintain a balanced budget by bringing more business to the village. He said his goal would be to do this without adding new taxes or cutting staff.

One of Ruzanski’s proudest accomplishments in the village has been overseeing completion of the Veterans Memorial.

He also prides himself on his community service work, including his weekly volunteering with the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry.

“I love it because it gives me more purpose – more use to share my experience, strength and hope with people,” Ruzanski said. “That’s really what life

is all about. And I will continue to do that, and even step it up if I have to.”

If re-elected, one of Mulcahy’s main initiatives would be to consolidate the Lake in the Hills Sanitary District into the village, which he has said will eliminate inefficiencies and save taxpayers money. Raising property taxes is the last action the village should take to increase revenue, Mulcahy said.

One of the largest effects Mulcahy said he has had on the village is the founding of the Summer Sunset Festival.

“I want to continue to do it for the same reasons I’ve always wanted to serve in the village, because I actually think I can make a positive contribution to the village,” Mulcahy said. “I do not do this for me – I do it because I think I can help.”

WOODSTOCK – A Spring Grove man charged with fatally shooting his wife in the neck in their home faces a lawsuit family members of the victim have filed that could take away his rights to the couple’s assets and property.

Lorin E. Volberding, 71, was arrested and charged Feb. 3 with first-degree murder after police said he killed his wife in their home, located in the 10800 block of Riviera Drive.

Prosecutors said Lorin Volberding called a neighbor and told him he shot his wife. The neighbor then called 911. Lorin E. Spring Grove police Volberding found Lorin Volberding in the home. Authorities said he told investigators clearly and coherently that he shot his wife, and then said, “Give me a few moments, and I’ll tell you everything.”

Jennifer Tison, Elizabeth Volberding’s daughter, and Bryan Behles filed the lawsuit Feb. 28, arguing the court should issue a ruling preventing Lorin

Volberding from getting any of the couple’s joint assets, according to court documents.

According to state law, a person who “intentionally and unjustifiably causes the death of another shall not receive any property, benefit or beneficiary.” The property or benefit would pass the person causing death as if they died before the decedent.

Tison and Behles are named in Elizabeth Volberding’s will, and they also are the contingent beneficiaries of the Lorin E. and Elizabeth M. Volberding Trust, which includes their Spring Grove home.

Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud previously said the residence was valued at more than $299,000.

The Tison family stepped away from the Volberdings in 2007, Tison previously told the Northwest Herald.

“It was too difficult raising young boys into respectful men while watching their grandmother be mistreated by her husband,” Tison said.

Herb Franks, Behles’ and Tison’s attorney, said his clients are “seeking justice” for Elizabeth Volberding.

“The family doesn’t want him to benefit from this crime,” Franks said.

Volberding was told about the lawsuit against him March 7, and he has 30 days to respond.

He remains in McHenry County Jail custody in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $3 million bond.

District 47 board, staff extend contract

Union agrees on 2021 as new expiration date, adds yearly pay increase

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 board and classroom support staff have agreed to a three-year contract extension.

Both the district board and the Crystal Lake Association of Support Staff ratified an extension to take the union’s existing contract, which was set to expire in 2018, through the 2021 school year.

In addition to a 3.75 percent pay increase each year of the contract, the extension modifies the policy toward leaves and absence and introduces language to address potential

health insurance eligibility if the Affordable Care Act is repealed and no other alternative is available.

The union now represents 243 support staff – known as “paraprofessionals” in the contract – who are licensed by the state to give classroom assistance to students with special needs.

Staff members also offer assistance to general education students and students who are learning to speak English.

The agreement was reached after several conversations between union representatives and district administration, according to a joint statement.

It was made official last week on a 7-0 vote by the school board.

District 47 includes nine elementary schools and three middle schools with an enrollment of about 7,600 students, most of them from Crystal Lake and Lakewood.

Nonprofit awards McHenry with title of Tree City USA

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The city of McHenry recently was named a 2016 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit conservation and education organization that encourages people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.

The title of “Tree City USA” is given to U.S. communities that have made a commitment to their urban tree canopy and their residents.

Mike Harper, a McHenry Public Works Department forestry crew leader, said McHenry was recognized because it met the program’s four requirements.

“McHenry has maintained a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and hosts an Arbor Day observance and proclamation,” Harper said. “That’s why the city is being recognized.”

McHenry will host its annual Arbor Day ceremony at 3 p.m. April 28 in the McHenry Municipal Center. As a part of the city’s Arbor Day celebration, res-

“McHenry has maintained a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and hosts an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.”

Mike Harper

McHenry Public Works forestry crew leader idents can donate trees to the city’s Arbor Day Tree Donation Program. The deadline to donate is April 8.

The city of McHenry committed to the large-scale tree planting program in 2016. As a result, 500 new trees were planted in 17 subdivisions in the community, and four trees were planted in memory of past McHenry residents.

For information about the city’s tree donation program, call the public works department at 815-363-2186.

13 ROBERT CARL BRUSS

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

Robert (Bob) Bruss, 79, of Sun City, Huntley died peacefully at his home on March 9, 2017 after a courageous and often stubborn 20-year health battle.

He was born July 29, 1937 in Monroe, Wisconsin to the late Carl and Anna (Hoffman) Bruss.

He married Sue Downing Bruss on January 26, 1963 in Glen Ellyn, Illinois where together they raised their three children, ran a family business and were active members of the community.

His passions in life were his family, nature, travel, Colorado, woodworking and his family business. With Sue, he traveled to all 50 states, 7 continents and beyond, fulfilling a wedding day pledge they made to each other. Bob loved chocolate and raspberries and snatching a bite of food from the plate of an unsuspecting fellow diner. He was patient and kind and his generous spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Bob served in the United States Air Force National Guard; he was a Harris Fellow of Rotary International, a founder of Friends of Wildflower Lake in Sun City, an avid fisherman and golfer and a lover of old movies. As a landscape architect, he was a member of the Illinois Landscape Contractor Association (ILCA).

He is survived by his wife, Sue; his children, Cindy (Tim) Sullivan; David (Elizabeth) and Eric (Pam); his grandchildren, Patrick and Corrinne Sullivan, Kiley and Ellie Bruss and Austin and Phillip Bruss; his “adopted” daughter, Delia (Philip) Silveira and their daughter, Daniella Silveira; and his wonderful caregivers, Maria Cabellos and Roselle Taruc; also, sisters, Marianne (Tom) Crane, and Nance Bruss; and brother, William (Marianne) Bruss; his sisters-in-law, Jean (Don) Oliver, Ann (Hans) Brebeck; and brother-in-law, Bill (Kay) Downing; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Sue Greenen.

Bob, his siblings and parents founded Bruss Nursery and Landscaping in 1952 in Lombard, Illinois. The business later moved to Wheaton, Illinois where it is now in its 65th year under the third-generation leadership of his son Eric.

A Celebration of Bob’s life will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, 2017 at Randall Oaks Country Club, 4101 Binnie Rd., West Dundee, IL 60118. A memorial service and open mike for memories will be included.

Best-selling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal dies

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Amy Krouse Rosenthal, a popular author, filmmaker and speaker who brightened lives with her wide-eyed and generous spirit – and broke hearts when she wrote of being terminally ill and leaving behind her husband Jason – died Monday at age 51.

Rosenthal had been diagnosed in 2015 with ovarian cancer. Her death was confirmed to The Associated Press by her longtime literary agent, Amy Rennert, who said Rosenthal “was the most life-affirming person, and love-affirming person.” Fellow author John Green tweeted: “She was a brilliant writer, and an even better friend.”

DENNIS N. KNIGHT

Born: May 20, 1950; in Geneva, IL Died: March 9, 2017; in Elgin, IL

Dennis N. Knight, 66, of Cary, passed away on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at Presence St. Joseph, Elgin.

dent, Rosenthal completed more than 30 books, including journals, memoirs and the best-selling picture stories “Uni the Unicorn” and “Duck! Rabbit!” She made short films and YouTube videos, gave TED talks and provided radio commentary for NPR, among others.

She also raised three children and had a flair for random acts of kindness, whether hanging dollar bills from a tree or leaving notes on ATM machines.

“I do what feels right to me. If it resonates or plants some seeds, great,” she told Chicago magazine in 2010.

While her books were noted for their exuberant tone, she started a very different conversation early this month with a widely read “Modern Love” column she wrote for The New York Times. Rosenthal told of learning about

her fatal diagnosis, and, in the form of a dating profile, offered tribute to Jason Brian Rosenthal. The essay was titled, “You May Want to Marry My Husband.”

“If you’re looking for a dreamy, let’s-go-for-it travel companion, Jason is your man. He also has an affinity for tiny things: taster spoons, little jars, a mini-sculpture of a couple sitting on a bench, which he presented to me as a reminder of how our family began,” she wrote. “Here is the kind of man Jason is: He showed up at our first pregnancy ultrasound with flowers. This is a man who, because he is always up early, surprises me every Sunday morning by making some kind of oddball smiley face out of items near the coffeepot: a spoon, a mug, a banana.”

“I am wrapping this up on Val-

entine’s Day, and the most genuine, non-vase-oriented gift I can hope for is that the right person reads this, finds Jason, and another love story begins,” she added.

Rosenthal was a Tufts University graduate who worked in advertising for several years before she had what she called a “McEpiphany”: She was with her kids at McDonald’s when she promised herself that she would leave advertising and become a writer.

Rosenthal more than kept her word; starting in the late 1990s, she regularly published at least a book a year, and sometimes three or four. Rennert said Monday that she had completed seven more picture books before her death, including a collaboration with her daughter, Paris, called “Dear Girl.”

He was born on May 20, 1950 in Geneva, IL the son of Gayle & Virginia (Sturm) Knight.

Dennis is survived by his three sons, Dennis Knight Jr., Matthew (Melissa) Knight and Neil (Amy) Knight; Granddaughters, Taylor, Rachel, Hailey, Chelsea and August; Siblings, Kim Knight, Linda Knight, Diane Novotny; and a brother, Douglas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Richard.

U.S. attorney in Chicago resigns

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The U.S. attorney in Chicago who oversaw the hush-money case of former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and who helped focus federal scrutiny on local police resigned Monday, lamenting in an open letter that “at no moment” during his 3½-year tenure “did the gun violence abate” in the nation’s third-largest city.

Zachary Fardon resigned from the post that’s widely seen as the second-most powerful job in Chicago, next to the mayor, three days after his new boss at the U.S. Department of Justice, Jeff Sessions, asked 46 prosecutors held over from the President Barack Obama’s administration to step down.

Fardon felt pressure from the start to make stemming violence his top priority, and pressure built as killings spiked – hitting a 19-year high in 2016 with 762 homicides, more than New York and Los

News from across the state Two charged in videotaped beating get private attorneys

CHICAGO – A judge is allowing two of four people charged in the videotaped beating of a mentally disabled man to be represented by private attorneys.

The Cook County Public Defender’s Office had requested that the office not be assigned to all four because doing so could pose a conflict of interest. On Monday, Judge William H. Hooks appointed private attorneys for 18-year-old Tesfaye Cooper and 19-year-old Brittany Covington.

The state’s attorney’s office said the judge has yet to decide who will represent Jordan Hill and that Tanishia Covington will be represented by the public defender’s office.

The five-page letter Fardon handed to reporters didn’t directly criticize Trump or Sessions. But it alluded to questions about the new ad-

Prosecutors said the four people seen on a video posted live on Facebook beating and taunting the white victim have been charged with kidnapping and hate crimes. They have pleaded not guilty.

Trump administration considers rivers project

CHICAGO – Seven locks and dams on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers are under consideration by President Donald Trump’s administration in his stated push to make the nation’s infrastructure “second to none.”

Representatives from Illinois and four other Midwest states are working to make sure the river projects, as well as the ecological restoration efforts tied to them, become a priority, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“We need to make sure that we’re prepared for (it) if circumstances align; it has a chance to get implemented,” said Dru Buntin, executive director of the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association, a group formed by governors to coordinate river-related policies and work with

ministration’s commitment to Chicago police reforms in the wake of a Department of Justice report released in the waning days of Obama’s presidency that found officers too often used lethal force.

The negotiation of a court-enforced agreement between the city of Chicago and the Department of Justice laying out a detailed police reform plan was critical to building a culture of integrity in the police department, Fardon said.

“It’s past time to give our police officers what they need to succeed,” he wrote. He added a court-enforced plan “is the only way that will happen.”

Fardon, 50, described studying data and law enforcement methods of combating violence after becoming U.S. attorney, saying he was “horrified and confused ... by the constant drumbeat” of deaths, especially of young people caught in the crossfire.

But he wrote: “At no moment during those three and a half years did the gun vio-

federal agencies.

The Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program was approved by Congress in 2007, but has been shelved because of lack of funding.

The proposal targets five Mississippi River locks on the western edge of Illinois, from near Quincy to northwest of Alton, and two on the Illinois River: one near Peoria and the other near Beardstown. A decade ago, the project had a $4.2 billion price tag.

Budget crisis may force drug treatment center to close

JACKSONVILLE – A central Illinois drug treatment center that’s been operating for 49 years might be the latest casualty of the state budget crisis as its executive director said it may be forced to close within weeks.

The Springfield State-Journal Register reported that Bruce Carter said the possible closure of the nonprofit Wells Center in Jacksonville is “directly related” to delayed payments associated with state’s lack of a permanent budget

lence abate. Every month, every year, innocents died.”

Fardon for years has said there are limits to what U.S. prosecutors can do to reduce violent crime, saying poverty and other social ills underpin the problem. He has pointed to his prosecution of gangs and drug dealers, as well as a stress on bringing federal gun charges, as proof his staff did all it could to tamp down violence.

Fardon on Monday broached half a dozen proposals he said could help.

One, he wrote, was having the FBI, DEA and ATF work under a single command structure – possibly in a pilot program only in Chicago – to streamline bids to fight violent crime. He also noted street-gang attacks are often provoked by online threats, saying one idea is to curb access to social media of those with criminal gang ties.

“I recognize that First Amendment issues come into play, but let’s test those limits,” he said.

since July 2015.

He said the center with 32 adult inpatient beds will close in April and all 69 employees at the center and those who treat prison inmates around Illinois will be laid off if the budget crisis isn’t resolved.

CHICAGO – Carolyn Rush, the wife of Chicago Democratic U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, has died at age 68.

The congressman’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Gadlin, confirmed that Carolyn Rush died Monday morning. Rush’s office said she died of congestive heart failure at the University of Chicago Hospital with the congressman and her children at her bedside.

Rush said in a statement that he’s lost “my best friend, the love of my life, my confidant and my best half.”

The couple was married for 36 years and had a blended family of seven children, including one son who is deceased, and 11 grandchildren.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Boasberg last week rejected Tillerson heads to Asia with N. Korea tensions high the request of the Standing

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Rex Tillerson plunges this week into the increasingly volatile situation in North Asia with visits to Japan, South Korea and China, the region’s central players for dealing with North Korea’s missile launches and nuclear tests. Complicating the mission are Chinese concerns about how the U.S. has responded so far.

Beijing strenuously objects to the initial deployment to South Korea of a U.S. missile defense system. One of Tillerson’s chief tasks will be to assuage Asia’s biggest country and arrange a much-anticipated visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the United States.

Tillerson’s four-day trip will be closely watched for signs of how the Trump administration will approach the escalating tensions with North Korea, whose leader has disregarded international appeals to disarm and accelerated weapons development.

Gorsuch’s record on immigration mixed The ASSOCIATED PRESS If Neil Gorsuch wins confirmation to the Supreme Court, he could cast the deciding vote on President Donald Trump’s travel ban against immigrants from certain countries. But it’s far from certain how he would vote.

According to an Associated Press review of Gorsuch’s rulings, he has not written extensively about immigration policy during a decade on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

And the few rulings he has been involved in do not reveal how he might decide if given the opportunity to consider an immigration ban.

Many of the cases involved people challenging their prison sentences for returning to the U.S. illegally after having been deported. He has often been deferential to immigration authorities, but also has sided with immigrants.

“His record on immigration is a mixed bag, so it’s hard to predict how he would rule on any challenge to the executive order,” said Melissa Crow, legal director for the American Immigration Council, which challenged Trump’s original ban.

That order, which would have banned people from seven majority Muslim counties, was put on hold last month by a federal appeals court, but Trump signed a new version March 6. That one removed Iraq from the list and eliminated a provision to give priority to religious minorities in allowing immigrants in.

The new order is to take effect Thursday, pending the outcome of legal challenges. It would not affect current visa holders but would bar new visas for people from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. And it would temporarily shut down the U.S. refugee program.

There have been eight justices on the court since the

Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch, escorted by former New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, arrives for a meeting on Capitol Hill on Feb. 6 in Washington. death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year. So for now there’s the possibility of a tie vote, which means the lower court ruling would stand.

If Gorsuch makes the ninth vote, which way would he go?

While his rulings on major immigration policy are limited, they do offer insight into his thinking.

In a 2013 case, he wrote, “No doubt, we can and will strike down regulations that defy Congress’ statutes or the Constitution’s guarantees. We do not, however, amend, revise or undo administrative regulations just because they may not be to a litigant’s liking or our own.”

“Unless some violation of law is involved, the business of deciding the sometimes hard, often fine and nearly always contestable questions of immigration policy belongs to the legislature and executive, not the courts.”

Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell University, said Gorsuch’s sympathy for people in religious cases, a general skepticism of executive power and a history of ruling for immigrants give some reason to

think he could be sympathetic to plaintiffs challenging a ban on people from certain countries.

But, Dorf added, “At this point it’s still sort of a guessing game.”

Gorsuch has shown sympathy for religious freedom, notably siding with employers who objected to providing employees coverage for contraceptives. He also found it was wrong for a Wyoming prison to deny use of an existing prison sweat lodge to an inmate who wanted to use it to exercise his Native American religious beliefs. But it’s not clear how those considerations would factor into a ban on people from majority Muslim countries.

In one immigration case, Gorsuch sided with a Somalian convicted of lying under oath during grand jury questioning about his asylum application, saying the immigrant should have been provided an interpreter. In another case, he was part of a decision that found the court lacked jurisdiction to consider an appeal from Mexican immigrants who argued deportation would create an undue hardship because their teenage kids were U.S. citizens.

Few worried about likely Fed rate hike

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – For years after the Great Recession ended, investors fretted – sometimes panicked – over the prospect that the Federal Reserve might begin to raise interest rates from record lows.

Now? The Fed seems all but sure to raise rates Wednesday for the third time in 15 months and to signal more hikes probably coming. And the response from investors has been something akin to a yawn.

Wall Street appears too busy extending the stock market rally that began with President Donald Trump’s election in November, cheered by the prospect of tax cuts, an easing of regulations and higher spending for infrastructure to worry about a rate hike.

Fed watchers, it seems, are more buoyed by expectations for a vigorous economy than worried about whether slightly higher rates might slow growth.

When Chairwoman Janet Yellen and several other Fed officials separately suggested earlier this month that the economy was sturdy enough to withstand a modest raising of loan rates, investors quickly raised their estimate of the probability of a rate hike at the Fed’s meeting this week from around 20 percent to 80 percent.

After Friday’s robust February jobs report – 235,000 added jobs, solid pay gains and a dip in the unemployment rate to 4.7 percent – the likelihood has grown to 91 percent, according to the CME Group, which tracks investor expectations of Fed actions.

Yet no one seems very concerned.

“We’re just at a different place now than in 2013 when there was a lot of angst and uncertainty about the economy’s prospects,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Now, the fundamentals of the economy are much better. We are close to full employment and investors feel more comfortable about where we are.”

In light of Friday’s jobs report, optimism about Trump’s economic program and other signs that growth may pick up, some economists said they were raising their forecast for the number of rate increases this year from three to perhaps four.

“I think a March rate hike is a fait accompli,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University, Channel Islands, who expects four rate increases in 2017. “The more important question is: How many more hikes they will give us for the bal-

ance of the year?”

If the Fed is no longer unsettling investors with the hint of a forthcoming rate increase, it marks quite a change from the anxiety that prevailed after 2008, when the central bank cut its key rate to a record low and kept it there for seven years. During those years, any slight shift in sentiment about when the Fed might begin raising rates – a step that would lead eventually to higher loan rates for consumers and businesses – was enough to move global markets.

In 2013, then-Chairman Ben Bernanke sent markets into a panic merely by mentioning that the Fed was contemplating slowing the pace of its bond purchases, which it was using then to keep long-term borrowing rates low.

But now, the economy is widely considered sturdy enough to handle modestly higher loan rates. The unemployment rate, at 4.7 percent, is below the 4.8 percent level the Fed has deemed an indication of full employment. And inflation, which had stayed undesirably low for years, is edging near the 2 percent annual rate that the Fed views as optimal.

And while the broadest gauge of the economy’s health – the gross domestic product – remains well below levels associated with a healthy economy, many analysts say they’re optimistic that Trump’s proposed tax cuts, infrastructure spending increases and deregulation may accelerate growth. Those proposals have lifted the confidence of business executives and offset concerns that investors might otherwise have had about the effects of Fed rate increases.

Trump’s assertions have put his administration in a bind. Current and former administration officials have been unable to provide any evidence of the Obama administration wiretapping Trump Tower, yet the president’s aides have been reluctant to publicly contradict their boss.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer tried to clarify Trump’s comments Mon-

• Tuesday, March 14, 2017

WASHINGTON – Facing a Monday deadline, the Justice Department asked lawmakers for more time to provide evidence backing up President Donald Trump’s unproven assertion that his predecessor wiretapped his New York skyscraper during the election.

The request came as the White House appeared to soften Trump’s explosive allegation.

The House intelligence committee said it would give the Justice Department until March 20 to comply with the evidence request. That’s the date of the committee’s first open hearing on the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and possible contacts between Trump associates and Russia.

A spokesman for the committee’s Republican chairman said that if the Justice Department doesn’t meet the new deadline, the panel might use its subpoena power to gather information.

“If the committee does not receive a response by then, the committee will ask for this information during the March 20 hearing and may resort to a compulsory process if our questions continue to go unanswered,” said Jack Langer, a spokesman for Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

actions of the Obama administration.

Trump himself has not commented on the matter since his March 4 tweets, in which he said he had “just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory.”

He also wrote: “Is it legal for a sitting President to be ‘wire tapping’ a race for president?”

In two other tweets, Trump described Obama tapping his phones, but did not put the phrases in quotation marks.

The president’s accusations against Obama came amid numerous political questions surrounding his associates’ possible ties to Russia. The FBI is investigating Trump associates’ contacts with Russia during the election, as are House and Senate intelligence committees.

The White House has asked those committees to also investigate Trump’s unverified wiretapping allegations against Obama. The House committee has turned the matter back on the Trump administration, setting the Monday deadline for the Justice Department to provide evidence.

In a response Monday evening, the Justice Department said it needed extra time to “review the request in compliance with the governing legal authorities and to determine what if any responsive documents may exist.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Much needed wake-up call Spare us the feeble platitudes about boys being boys. The revelation that thousands of Marines, active-duty and veterans, used social media to solicit and share nude photographs of Marine Corps women cannot be minimized or excused.

Their actions, which included calls to stalk and harass women in the photographs, are a stain on the Marines that underscores ongoing issues of sexual harassment within the armed forces. It is, again, a wake-up call for a military that too often views – and treats – women as inferior.

Defense Department officials announced that they have opened a criminal investigation into the activities of a group called Marines United, which used a private Facebook page to circulate without their permission nude photographs of Marine women, identified by their full name, rank and military duty station and often accompanied by obscene comments. “Take her out back and pound her out” read one comment quoted by the news website Reveal, which first disclosed the group’s existence.

Some have suggested there has been an overreaction to the site and that the behavior is merely a normal outgrowth of the rough ethos that Marines boast as tradition. They would do well to listen to Marine veteran Thomas Brennan, who wrote the Reveal article. “I’m no angel,” he told the New York Times. “I have deployed just like these Marines. I’ve sat around a fire in Afghanistan and shared that dark, dark Marine humor. ... But this is different. It has gone too far. We are hurting other Marines.”

Good order demands respect for one’s comrades. This aberrant, if not criminal, behavior must not be tolerated. The decision of officials to order an investigation is insufficient but encouraging; let’s hope they are serious about holding those responsible to account. Not to be overlooked, however, is that 30,000 Marines, many on active duty, are said to have participated in this site. And there are reports that other branches of the military may also be implicated. That suggests this is not a case of a few bad apples but of deep-seated issues in the military.

Of all the armed services, the Marines have been the most resistant to integrating women into the ranks; the service persists in segregating recruits by sex during basic training and puts up the stiffest opposition to opening up combat jobs to women.

This latest scandal demands some real soul-searching by the Marine Corps leadership and action from the Pentagon to finally stop the sexist treatment of women who are a vital part of America’s defense.

Automakers should get review of mileage rule

If President Donald Trump orders a review of automotive fuel economy standards as he reportedly will do, he will be affirming an important principle: Government should keep its promises.

The president is expected as early as this week to grant a request made by 18 automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, to review the mileage mandates the companies and President Barack Obama agreed to in 2011.

That current pact seeks to double fuel economy of the car and light truck fleet to 54.5 miles per gallon. It originally contained the commitment to a mid-term review to determine whether the standards could be met.

Obama blew away that promise on his way out the door. The Environmental Protection Agency announced in January that it had completed its review and determined there was no need to change

the standards.

A comprehensive review was to come later this year or early next that would have allowed vehicle manufacturers to present evidence on the state of both technology and the marketplace.

Technically, the automakers could meet the 2025 standard – if they made and sold mostly electric and hybrid vehicles. But that would require a major shift in consumer preference.

Low gasoline prices, which neither state nor federal lawmakers have shown the willingness to boost through higher taxes, continue to fuel the demand for larger cars and pickups.

Light trucks in 2016 outsold cars for the fourth straight year, posting a 7 percent sales increase to capture 60 percent of the market, according to Auto Alliance, an industry group.

Meanwhile, plug-in vehicles

made up less than 1 percent of sales last year, and when combined with hybrids are just less than 3 percent of the total market.

The weak consumer response comes despite intense marketing efforts by the manufacturers and heavy subsidies from taxpayers.

Environmentalists are protesting that a decision to withdraw the EPA’s denial of a formal evaluation process signals a gutting of protections put in place by the Obama administration.

Reinstating the review does not mean the standards will be rolled back. After hearing from the automakers and examining the data, the EPA may reach the same conclusion it did in January.

But automakers agreed to the mandates only after being guaranteed a thorough mid-term review.

Fairness demands they get what was promised.

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.

By MARGARET SULLIVAN The Washington Post

A major new study, published in Columbia Journalism Review, detailed just how influential the new media ecosystem has become, calling it a determining factor in Trump’s election.

“A right-wing media network anchored around Breitbart developed as a distinct and insulated media system, using social media as a backbone to transmit a hyperpartisan perspective to the world,” the report concluded, after studying 1.25 million stories.

(Brietbart, of course, was run by – and maintains close ties to – Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist.)

As right-wing sites concentrated during the campaign on immigration stories – often with exaggerated or false claims about the dangers of refugees and immigrants – they also endlessly attacked Hillary Clinton over Benghazi and her use of a private email server.

These sites often traffic in “decontextualized truths, repeated falsehoods, and leaps of logic to create a fundamentally misleading view of the world,” the report said.

This brings to mind a Trump voter I met in northeast Pennsylvania who took right-wing talking points and put them in a blender. She told me she couldn’t trust Hillary Clinton because “I didn’t like how she stole those emails and it got people killed in Benghazi.”

This tainted media sphere not only set the conservative media agenda, “but also strongly influenced the broader media agenda, in particular coverage of Hillary Clinton.”

Kyle Pope, editor of CJR, explained: “On the right, there was an intense focus on Trump’s policies,” especially

immigration.

But in covering Clinton, the rightwing sites often served as stenographers for conservative politicians.

And the mainstream media often went along for the ride, obsessing about the presidential horse race and failing to understand how all of this was resonating with voters. Plenty of excellent investigative reporting on Trump was published, but to some extent, it was drowned out by the noise.

There’s another way that the traditional press has allowed right-wing media to flourish – by moving too far to the left itself.

Mainstream newsrooms were once much more ideologically diverse, said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of American Press Institute.

“The best data out there shows that there are fewer Republicans working in traditional newsrooms and news generally than there used to be,” he told me.

As right-wing media sprang up over the past few decades, reporters and editors with more conservative beliefs migrated there. That left mainstream newsrooms with a high percentage of people identifying themselves as independent, a fair number of Democrats – and relatively few Republicans.

“That affects the discussion in newsrooms even when people are trying mightily to be fair,” Rosenstiel said.

Pope puts it more bluntly, referring to the “unarguable partisanship” he saw from some mainstream journalists as Nov. 8 neared, evident especially on social media. Favoring Clinton, they not only mocked Trump but also were unable to fathom that he might win.

Pope now sees “a huge corrective” underway, as journalists dig in, providing meaty accountability coverage of Trump and spending more time listening to Trump’s core of voters.

But whom are they reaching? Many Americans, especially on the right, have lost trust in mainstream media, which may be deeply flawed but at least is committed to factuality and truth.

Meanwhile, disinformation gains more of a dangerous foothold.

You can’t fight propaganda with standard journalism, Pope told me.

Watchdogging the fake news machinery and fact-checking relentlessly is part of his prescription.

Rosenstiel has suggested other measures: being more transparent about how we gather and verify the news; covering what’s important (not “barking at every car”); and using clearer labels to distinguish news from opinion.

I would add that news organizations have to acknowledge their own biases internally, and constantly report against them.

The CJR study concludes on a hopeful note: that a renaissance of legitimate journalism may be the result of everything that’s happened.

I’d love to think that, but it’s going to take hard work, the kind that doesn’t come easy to journalists: more openness to criticism, continued self-examination and willingness to change.

It won’t happen by closing our eyes and believing in fairies.

ically elected president in much the same way as was done in the Ukraine three years ago.

A brief summary follows: The Orange Revolution of 2004 challenged President Yanukovych’s first election as fraudulent, forcing a revote which Yanukovych lost.

The Ukrainian economy continued to dive under austerity demands of the IMF. Yanukovych ran again in 2010 and won. The U.S., UK, EU and Soros’s Open Society continued to shape public opinion.

Victoria Nuland, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, boasted spending $5 billion to shape anti-Russian hysteria. The preplanned violent provocations exploded in November 2013 when Yanukovych decided to delay signing an Association Agreement with the EU. The coup was on, its organizers poured into central Kiev announcing they would not leave until the decision was

rescinded and Yanukovych left office. We saw what happened.

The myth peddled in the West was that Russia caused the problem, not agent provocateurs. The myth continues today that Hillary lost only because of Russian meddling.

Fueled by leaks from the same neo-con apparatus that overthrew Yanukovych, Trump has called out the intelligence agencies. The idea that Trump may end imperial policy, endless wars, and join forces with Russia and China in defeating terrorism, and building agro-industrial economies for under developed nations, would mean an end to Empire. That’s the reason for the hysteria. Don’t believe me. Do your homework. This may be fake news!

Trump’s not our enemy

To the Editor: I’m so disinterested in the political attacks and the hate that is within them, either on President Trump or others.

Where false accusations of racism are made. Let me say racism is not limited to race or religion. It is an extreme hate that can be pointed at anyone.

And when hate emerges in any of us today, it blinds us to see any good in others.

President Trump is not the enemy of the people. He is trying to put things in order.

For too long and too much, laws have been ignored and responsibilities put aside for materialism and our house further divided.

When we use hate in our messages, whether in support or oppose of our leaders, local or federal, won’t accomplish anything.

We can protest policies as long as hate for another is not part of it. I oppose hate more than policy because policies can be changed. Hate can damage the soul.

So let us disagree without it hurting our homes, communities, our nation.

In speaking of peace, President Kennedy spoke of Archimedes, who explained the principles of the lever once was overheard declaring to his friends, “Give me a place to stand and I shall move the world.”

We know hate won’t move the world, but our peace and goodwill does, if allowed. My hope is we will.

To save Tinkerbell, all you had to do was clap your hands and really, really believe in fairies.

To send a conspiracy theory on its vicious way around the world, you need to do more than just believe. You need help.

Luckily for those who wanted to elect Donald Trump, that help was available during the presidential campaign, and still is. It comes from a collection of new right-wing hyperpartisan media outlets that are having a huge effect on politics.

Consider, for example, one outlandish idea from just last week: that the CIA hacked the Democratic National Committee’s emails, gave them to WikiLeaks and then framed Russia.

Business Insider traced it: from replies to the WikiLeaks Twitter account, through conservative radio and then Breitbart News, and out into the semi-mainstream – Sean Hannity on Fox News – all within 48 hours.

Similarly, the right-wing radio host Mark Levin may have started the evidence-free idea that former President Barack Obama ordered the wiretapping of now-President Trump.

It made its way quickly through the media ecosystem, after Trump saw it, apparently on Breitbart News.

Once the president tweets it, it’s undeniably news, picked up everywhere and re-amplified – especially by right-wing sites.

Derek Thompson of the Atlantic called this a “conspiracy-theory feedback loop.” And a very effective one it

Intel offers $15B for autonomous car company

By TOM KRISHER

The Associated Press DETROIT – Computer chip maker Intel paid handsomely for a piece of the next big thing Monday as it offered more than $15 billion for Mobileye, an Israeli company at the forefront of autonomous vehicle technology.

The purchase, scheduled to close by year’s end, creates another major player in self-driving technology as traditional automakers and tech companies vie to put the cars into public use. Most companies have predicted autonomous vehicles will be carrying people in the next three to five years.

The big investment by Intel validates predictions that autonomous cars will someday come in large numbers, signifying a sea change in the way we all get around, said Timothy Carone, a Notre Dame University professor who has written about the future of automation. “Major players are finding ways to position themselves for a change as seminal as the personal computer revolution,” he said.

Jerusalem-based Mobileye, which makes software that processes information from cameras and other car sensors to decide where the cars should steer, has products on just about every automaker’s autonomous test fleet. The combination with Intel adds hardware, more software expertise and data centers that the companies say will hasten deployment of autonomous technology, including wider

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich is interviewed Monday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Intel will buy Israel’s Mobileye in a deal valued at about $15 billion, propelling the computer chip and technology giant to the forefront of autonomous vehicle technology. use of automatic emergency braking and other technologies that already are on the roads.

Automakers and some technology companies are testing autonomous vehicles in California, Michigan and a few other states. Mobileye has partnerships with many of them, including testing cars with Intel and BMW. The Mobileye deal will help put Intel in the driver’s seat in terms of supplying vital parts of autonomous vehicles, IHS Markit analyst Akhilesh Kona said. Besides Mobileye’s technology, Intel is gaining access to major auto-

makers and parts suppliers, Kona said.

“They have captured a piece of what should be a fast-growing market.”

Intel and Mobileye are targeting an array of sensors and camera systems that are expected to generate annual sales of $10 billion by 2022, quintupling from about $2 billion this year, IHS estimated. Mobileye controls about 70 percent of the world market for driver assistance systems such as automatic braking, lane centering and pedestrian detection. IHS expects as many as 21 million autonomous vehicles to be sold by the year 2035.

But there are still a number of obstacles to overcome. Companies still aren’t certain how the cars will drive in snow or other bad weather, and it will be difficult for cars to be programmed to handle numerous local traffic customs. Also, no one really knows yet when the cars will be safe enough to remove human backup drivers.

The rise of mobile devices caused a decline in the personal computer market and undercut Intel’s growth and influence in the technology business.

Now Intel is expanding into other potentially fertile fields.

Besides setting its sights on the still-nascent driverless car market, Intel also has been investing in wearable computers, such as smartwatches, as well as drones.

The companies said Monday’s deal combines Mobileye’s software with Intel’s hardware, data centers and its own software, giving automakers a one-stop place to shop for autonomous systems.

“This acquisition essentially merges the intelligent eyes of the autonomous car with the intelligent brain that actually drives the car,” Intel CEO Brian Krzanich wrote in a note to employees.

The deal moves Intel-Mobileye to at least parity with Google’s Waymo, Uber Technologies and car companies for autonomous car leadership, Carone said. It’s likely to pressure competitors into signing more deals, he added.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

TUESDAY, M A RC H 14, 2017

AUSTIN, Texas – Ed Sheeran will guest star in the upcoming season of “Game of Thrones.”

The show’s producers made the announcement Sunday night during a panel discussion at the South by Southwest festival in Texas.

Producer David Benioff told the audience that they’ve been trying to get the 26-year-old British singer a spot on the show for years to surprise Sheeran fan Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark on the HBO fantasy drama.

The seventh season of “Game of Thrones” premieres on HBO July 16.

Stradivarius to be heard for first time since 1980 theft

Milo Ventimiglia (left) and Mandy Moore attend the NBCUniversal Golden Globes afterparty in Beverly Hills, Calif. The season finale for the popular time-twisting family drama will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday CDT on NBC.

Milo Ventimiglia poured his dad into Jack on ‘This is Us’ NEW YORK – In Milo Ventimiglia’s trailer on the set of NBC’s “This is Us” hangs a black-and-white photo of himself at maybe 3 or 4, leaning on his dad’s knee, father and son smiling in the front yard near a tall tree.

Above and below the snapshot are handwritten signs, reminders that have helped the actor mold his popular character, Papa Jack Pearson, on one of network TV’s weepiest family shows of the moment: “Be a Good Father,” Ventimiglia penned above, with “Be a Good Husband” below.

“I saw my mom and dad with a great, great healthy marriage,” said the kind-faced Ventimiglia, neither father nor husband himself.

“I think I would absolutely love to have that, have a family, have a wife, have a partner. You think about who is that one person that you’re going to be with that you can just walk shoulder-to-shoulder with in life, support, and they support you, you know,” he added in a recent interview.

Ventimiglia, at 39 already in the business more than two decades, said he poured other aspects of his parents into the character and his on-screen marriage to Mandy Moore’s Rebecca, including their very human challenges and flaws as the show headed into Tuesday’s first-season finale.

The elder Ventimiglia, Pete, wasn’t a crier, for instance, just as Jack is often the dry-eyed stoic while others in the Pearson clan tear up around him.

“I didn’t see my father cry until I was maybe 21 years old, when his father passed away,” Ventimiglia said. “And I thought to myself, ‘Wow I’ve never seen my dad cry, until then. Why is that?’ And I started breaking that apart and thinking, ‘I believe that my father was trying to give me strength as a young man moving forward in life.’ ”

NEW YORK – The three daughters of renowned violinist Roman Totenberg will hear the sound of their late father’s Stradivarius for the first time nearly four decades after it was stolen.

The prized 18th-century instrument is coming back to life on Monday at a private Manhattan concert, tucked under the chin of Totenberg student Mira Wang.

The violin disappeared in 1980 after a Totenberg performance in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The thief was an aspiring violinist who kept the Stradivarius hidden, patching some spots with glue. After his death, his ex-wife alerted authorities.

The instrument was returned to the family in 2015 by Preet Bharara, then the U.S. attorney in Manhattan.

Jury for Cosby’s trial to come from Pittsburgh area

PHILADELPHIA – Jurors for Bill Cosby’s criminal sex assault case in suburban Philadelphia will come from across the state.

The panel will be chosen in Allegheny County. Pittsburgh, the county seat, is nearly a 300-mile drive from the Montgomery County courthouse, where the trial is set to start by early June. The jury will be sequestered.

The decision Monday comes after the comedian’s lawyers asked for outside jurors because of ongoing publicity.

Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle said he has no immediate comment on the

decision from the state Supreme Court.

Cosby is charged with drugging and molesting a former Temple University employee in 2004 at his suburban Philadelphia estate. He turns 80 next month.

‘Dragon Tattoo’ follow-up coming with new cast

LOS ANGELES – Lisbeth Salander is coming back to the big screen in 2018, but she won’t be played by Rooney Mara or Noomi Rapace.

Columbia Pictures announced Monday a follow-up to “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” will begin production in September with a new cast, and Fede Alvarez will be the director.

It’ll be based on author David Lagercrantz’s “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” the fourth book in the series created by Stieg Larsson. The film has been set for an October 2018 release.

Pandora starts on-demand music subscription service

NEW YORK – Internet radio company Pandora is launching an on-demand music service for $10 a month.

Pandora’s existing service works more like radio. People listen to music on customizable stations. The premium service launching this month will let users choose specific songs or albums and will personalize recommendations based on people’s listening habits. There is also an “offline mode.”

The new Pandora Premium offering will compete with Apple Music and Spotify.

Encryption works

CIA WikiLeaks dump shows advancements over past 4 years keep data safer

By ANICK JESDANUN and MICHAEL LIEDTKE

last year, a back door for good guys also can be a back door for bad guys.

So far, efforts to pass such a mandate have stalled.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – If the tech industry is drawing one lesson from the latest WikiLeaks disclosures, it’s that data-scrambling encryption works, and the industry should use more of it.

Documents purportedly outlining a massive CIA surveillance program suggest CIA agents must go to great lengths to circumvent encryption they can’t break. In many cases, physical presence is required to carry off these targeted attacks.

“We are in a world where if the U.S. government wants to get your data, they can’t hope to break the encryption,” said Nicholas Weaver, who teaches networking and security at the University of California, Berkeley.

“They have to resort to targeted attacks, and that is costly, risky and the kind of thing you do only on targets you care about. Seeing the CIA have to do stuff like this should reassure civil libertarians that the situation is better now than it was four years ago.”

Still a patchwork

AP photo

FBI Director James Comey speaks about the impact of technology on law enforcement Oct. 16, 2014, at Brookings Institution in Washington. If the tech industry is drawing one lesson from the latest WikiLeaks disclosures, it’s that data-scrambling encryption works, More encryption and the industry should use more of it. On Wednesday, Comey acknowledged the chalFour years ago is when former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed lenges posed by encryption. details of huge and secret U.S. eavesdropping programs. To help thwart spies and snoops, the tech industry began to protectively encrypt email and messaging apps, a process that turns their contents into indecipherable gibberish without the coded “keys” that can unscramble them.

The NSA revelations shattered earlier assumptions that internet data was nearly impossible to intercept for meaningful surveillance, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist at the Washington-based civil-liberties group Center for Democracy & Technology.

That was because any given internet message gets split into a multitude of tiny “packets,” each of which traces its own unpredictable route across the network to its destination.

The realization that spy agencies had figured out that problem spurred efforts to better shield data as it transits the internet. A few services such as Facebook’s WhatsApp followed the earlier example of Apple’s iMessage and took the extra step of encrypting data in ways even the companies

couldn’t unscramble, a method called end-to-end encryption.

Challenges for authorities

In the past, spy agencies like the CIA could have hacked servers at WhatsApp or similar services to see what people were saying. End-toend encryption, though, makes that prohibitively difficult. So the CIA has to resort to tapping individual phones and intercepting data before it is encrypted or after it’s decoded.

It’s much like the old days when “they would have broken into a house to plant a microphone,” said Steven Bellovin, a Columbia University professor who long has studied cybersecurity issues.

Cindy Cohn, executive director for Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group focused on online privacy, likened the CIA’s approach to “fishing with a line and pole rather than fishing with a driftnet.”

Encryption has grown so strong even the FBI had to seek Apple’s help

last year in cracking the locked iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers. Apple resisted what it considered an intrusive request, and the FBI ultimately broke into the phone by turning to an unidentified party for a hacking tool – presumably one similar to those the CIA allegedly had at its disposal.

On Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey acknowledged the challenges posed by encryption. He said there should be a balance between privacy and the FBI’s ability to lawfully access information. He also said the FBI needs to recruit talented computer personnel who might otherwise go to work for Apple or Google.

Government officials long have wanted to force tech companies to build “back doors” into encrypted devices, so the companies can help law enforcement descramble messages with a warrant. But security experts warn doing so would undermine security and privacy for everyone.

As Apple CEO Tim Cook pointed out

At the moment, though, end-to-end encrypted services such as iMessage and WhatsApp still are the exception.

While encryption is far more widely used than it was in 2013, many messaging companies encode user data in ways that let them read or scan it.

Authorities can force these companies to divulge message contents with warrants or other legal orders. With end-to-end encryption, the companies wouldn’t even have the keys to do so.

Further expanding the use of end-to-end encryption presents some challenges. That’s partly because encryption will make it more difficult to perform popular tasks such as searching years of emails for mentions of a specific keyword. Google announced in mid-2014 that it was working on end-to-end encryption for email, but the tools have yet to materialize beyond research environments.

Instead, Google’s Gmail encrypts messages in transit. But even that isn’t possible unless it’s adopted by the recipient’s mail system as well.

And encryption isn’t a panacea, as the WikiLeaks disclosures suggest.

According to the purported CIA documents, spies have found ways to exploit holes in phone and computer software to grab messages when they haven’t been encrypted yet. Although Apple, Google and Microsoft say they have fixed many of the vulnerabilities alluded to in the CIA documents, it’s not known how many holes remain open.

“There are different levels where attacks take place,” said Daniel Castro, vice president with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. “We may have secured one level [with encryption], but there are other weaknesses out there we should be focused on as well.”

Cohn said people still should use encryption, even with these bypass techniques.

“It’s better than nothing,” she said.

“The answer to the fact that your front door might be cracked open isn’t to open all your windows and walk around naked, too.”

TECH Triona Guidry general, it’s recommended you use only an official app store for your product, such as Apple’s App Store or Google Play. Unfortunately, questionable apps can be found on these sites as well, and even real apps may gather more data than they need. Research to find out whether there are questions about an app’s collection of data.

Watch for questionable apps masquerading as real ones. Remember, app reviews can be faked. When in doubt, don’t download or install.

Keep your mobile device’s software updated at all times. Check your app security settings on a regular basis, and turn off any permissions that aren’t necessary. Check your manufacturer’s site for specific instructions on

A parenting blog

how to change these settings on your smartphone or tablet. And, of course, always use strong, unique passwords for every site. A password management tool can make this easier.

Links that lead to questionable websites are another concern. Such links can affect you whether you’re surfing from a computer, tablet or smartphone. Phony ads look the same as real ones and often contain links to rogue sites that may infect your computer with viruses or attempt to steal your data.

In particular, scam links sent through social media messages may lead to “password harvesting.” Say you receive a message from a friend that contains a link. You know your friend, so you’d probably click the link. And if that link presented you with a login to Facebook, you might not think twice about entering your information. In this scenario, your friend’s account has likely been hi-

jacked and is sending spam messages to everyone on his or her contacts list.

The link leads to a password harvesting page that looks like Facebook, but isn’t. Once you enter your username and password, your Facebook account also will be hijacked and used to harvest more passwords in the same manner.

To avoid password harvesting, avoid clicking on links in messages, especially shortened links that give no indication as to their origin. Links can be faked: The text can say one thing, but the actual link can lead elsewhere.

Always type addresses (e.g. “www. facebook.com”) in the address bar instead of clicking links. And again, when in doubt, don’t click.

Questionable apps and phony messages can be hard to spot. Sometimes it’s difficult for even the experts to tell the fakes from the real deal. But with a little prevention and awareness, you can avoid most problems.

While many apps are perfectly fine, some exist only to siphon your data.

This data can be sold by criminals on the online market. Questionable apps may offer a cute gimmick to make them enticing. For example, tech researchers recently expressed concern about an app called Meitu, which turns your photo into an anime selfie. While the app itself seems innocuous enough, it gathers information it doesn’t need. In addition to permission to use your camera (which makes sense for a photo app), Meitu also collects location information and other private data that isn’t required for the functionality it provides.

It’s not always clear what apps do with the information they collect. In

28 GI useful for monitoring blood sugar Dear Doctor: I’ve been reading that choosing foods that are low on the glycemic index is better for your health. What is the glycemic index and why should I pay attention to it?

Dear Reader: The glycemic index, also referred to as the GI, is a system that rates foods based on how quickly the glucose contained within them is absorbed into the bloodstream. Developed to help people living with diabetes to maintain steady blood glucose levels, the GI has become a useful tool for anyone who wants to avoid blood sugar spikes.

The food we eat is broken up into three main categories – protein, fat and carbohydrates. Of the three, carbohydrates are our main source of energy. The body turns carbohydrates into glucose, a type of sugar, which powers bodily functions. It gives you energy for both mental (your brain is a heavy user of glucose) and physical activity.

However, not all carbohydrates behave the same way after they are ingested.

Some, like sweets, baked goods and some fruits and cereals, will cause a sharp rise in blood glucose levels. More complex carbohydrates, like beans or legumes and most vegetables, are digested and absorbed slowly due to their fiber content. When you eat foods that are low on the glycemic index, it leads to a gradual and controlled rise in blood sugar. Foods high on the glycemic index cause blood sugar levels to rise and fall quickly.

The GI is based on a scale of 0 to 100, with pure glucose assigned a value of 100.

The more rapidly that foods release their load of glucose into the bloodstream, the higher they rank on the scale. Candy and processed cereals have high glycemic index values. The lowest values are assigned to foods in which glucose is digested and

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier absorbed slowly. For example, cauliflower, spinach, green beans and mushrooms all have a GI of 0.

Why does this all matter?

Chronically high blood sugar levels have been tied to a wide range of health problems, including the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, nerve damage, cataracts and kidney disease. By learning the GI values of the foods that you eat, you can take control of your diet. You can add foods low on the GI scale that will steady your blood sugar, and eliminate – or at least limit – the foods that make your blood sugar jump.

It’s important to note that a balanced and healthful diet will be made up of foods from all parts of the GI spectrum.

There are several nutritious foods with a high GI value, such as sweet potatoes, which have a GI of 70. Meanwhile, foods with little nutritional value, such as milk chocolate, will rank lower on the GI scale, at about 40.

Foods high in carbohydrates are essential to a healthy diet, but quality matters.

Stick with fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, whole grains, legumes and beans. Steer clear of processed foods, which are usually high in refined carbohydrates like white sugar or white flour. And before you make a radical change to the way you eat, be sure to check with your physician.

Because you say you are being abused physically and emotionally for your inability to live up to your family’s expectations, discuss what’s going on with a counselor at your school. It’s possible there needs to be an intervention by someone they will listen to. Please don’t wait to do it.

Dear Abby: My husband of three years has visits with his son every Tuesday and Thursday evening. My mother-in-law picks up her grandson, takes him to her home and makes dinner for the three of them. I work 10-hour days Monday through Friday and am not able to attend these dinners. My question is, isn’t it proper etiquette that my mother-in-law should send a plate of food home for me with my husband? She never has, and I think this is rude and inconsiderate of her.

What is your opinion? – Hungry in El Paso Dear Hungry: Although brief, your letter speaks volumes about your relationship with your mother-in-law, which appears could be better. No rule of etiquette dictates that she is obligated to send a plate of her food home with her son for you. Perhaps if your relationship with her was warmer, or your husband was thoughtful enough to suggest it, she would. However, since you asked, my opinion is that rather than complain, you should pick up some take-out on your way home from work.

Dear Abby: I’m a 22-year-old college student on the verge of graduating this May. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for more than five years, and I am extremely close with his family, especially his sister “Claudia” and her three children (ages 6, 3 and 6 months). My parents are throwing me a graduation party at their home, and they don’t want any guests younger than the age of 10. How do I tell Claudia – a dear friend – that her children won’t be invited without upsetting her? (I have small cousins who won’t be attending either.) It truly is nothing personal, but I know she will probably take it personally. I don’t want to cause drama, but I do want to honor my parents’ wishes that no small children be present. How do I tell her? Help! – Soon-to-be Graduate Dear Soon-to-be Graduate: You are not hosting the party; your parents are. As the hosts, it is their privilege to decide whom to invite -- or not. When Claudia is invited, your parents should explain that they prefer children under the age of 10 not be present, and soften it if necessary by explaining there are small nieces and nephews who will not be attending as well.

Say this prayer nine times a day, on the eighth day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.

G.H. & A.H. Three people provide more quotes for this column than any others: Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde and today’s contributor, A.N. Onymous: “A single fact can spoil a good argument.”

At the bridge table, the fact of a single-ton can make the difference between reaching a low-count slam and missing it. Look at the North hand in the diagram. South opens one no-trump. How should North plan the auction?

With only 11 high-card points, perhaps your first thought is that game is the limit. However, there is a good argument that if the singleton diamond is worthwhile, there could be a slam. North should transfer with two hearts, then jump to four diamonds. (Since a three-diamond rebid would be natural and game-forcing, four diamonds can be used as a splinter bid.)

South’s trumps are not great, but the rest of his hand is slam suitable. He could make a four-heart control-bid or use Roman Key Card Blackwood so that he can find out in particular about North’s spade honors.

How should South play in six spades after West leads the diamond queen?

Declarer can afford to lose only one major-suit trick. But he has two ways to play the trump suit. If he can afford one loser, he should start with the ace. But if he cannot afford a loser, he should finesse the queen. How does he know which way to turn?

South should take the heart finesse first. Here, it loses, so he finesses the spade queen and gets home ... unless West is very clever and ducks his heart king. Then declarer might go down. If he does, he should congratulate West on his excellent defense ... through gritted teeth, to be sure!

Jacobs isn’t satisfied with first sectional title

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs guard Ryan Phillips, like the rest of his coaches and teammates, was still on the floor of Chesbrough Field House a good 15 minutes after the Golden Eagles had won the Class 4A Elgin Sectional on Friday.

The Eagles wanted to hang around and soak everything in after becoming the first team in their school’s history to win a boys basketball sectional.

Just like they want to hang around in the tournament for the entire last week.

“It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had,” Phillips said. “We’re not done yet. We want more. We’re still hungry. We want to have it all, we have one goal in mind.”

Jacobs (30-1) meets Fremd (30-0) at

Tuesday’s game

The Sears Centre and Chicago State winners play in the first Class 4A state semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Peoria’s Carver Arena.

Jacobs had not played for a sectional championship before Friday night. The Eagles took apart Larkin, 62-39, behind a huge night from 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig, who had 20

points, 23 rebounds, 11 blocked shots and nine assists.

“Our goals was to win the (Fox Valley) conference, win the (Jacobs) Christmas tournament and be the best team in school history,” Krutwig said Friday. “Tonight, we did that. It’s great for our guys, it’s great for me.

I just want to keep this thing going. I just want to keep rolling.”

Fremd has three 6-5 players to try to match up with Krutwig. The Vikings beat Conant, 43-42, Friday on Kyle Sliwa’s 3-pointer at the buzzer in the Robert Morris University Sectional title game.

Jacobs set high goals with Krutwig, who signed with NCAA Division I Loyola, returning for his fourth varsity season to lead a veteran group.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY SUPERSECTIONAL PREVIEW

Indians 1 win from first state trip since 1990

By SEAN HAMMOND

• JACOBS

Continued from page 2 The Eagles became the fifth team in FVC history to win a sectional, joining Dundee-Crown (4A, 2009), Prairie Ridge (AA, 2004), Cary-Grove (AA, 2001) and Crystal Lake South (AA, 1983). D-C was the only one in that group to win a supersectional.

Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts had

Marengo (25-7) vs. Bloomington (25-4), 6 p.m., NIU Convocation Center in DeKalb “Community members [were] consistently coming up and congratulating you when you were going out to breakfast,” he said. “You didn’t realize how many people were enjoying the run as much as you were.”

Olson feels that same spirit with his son’s senior squad. Marengo won its first regional title in 15 years in 2015 and now this year’s team has won the school’s first sectional since 1998.

“It’s so exciting,” Carter Olson said.

“Not even just around school, sometimes just going around town.”

Carter Olson used to hang around the Indians teams when his dad was the coach from 2005 to 2010. Watching current coach Nate Wright’s young son, Chaz, hang around the team, he sometimes sees a younger version of himself.

Blaine Borhart said his two older sisters dragged him to Marengo games when he was younger. Mike Volkening, this season’s leading scorer, is following two older brothers who went through the Marengo program. He and his brothers also are following the footsteps of their mother, Melinda Volkening, who played for the Indians girls team in the mid-1980s.

Junior guard Matt Fischer’s dad, Mike Fischer, played in the late 1980s, overlapping one year with Chad Olson.

John Henning’s mother, Sue Martin, Kayla Wolf for Shaw Media also played for the girls program.

“It’s kind of a driving force that we Marengo senior Carter Olson shoots Feb. 14 at Burlington Central.

Guard Cooper Schwartz and forward Mason Materna, two of the their top reserves last year, have earned starting jobs. They all can shoot 3-pointers and usually get ample opportunities with the attention paid to Krutwig inside.

Jacobs got a taste with its regional championship a year ago but lost to Auburn in the Rock Valley Sectional semifinal. Everything was aligned for

the Eagles to do something special this season.

“The feeling is indescribable, man,” Materna said. “This group of guys like this, my brothers, I love every single one of these guys to death. I couldn’t ask for a better guys to go down there with as a senior.”

Jacobs’ season might have seemed unfulfilled without the sectional title.

With that further validating this team, it now is looking to play on the last

weekend of the season.

During the final moments Friday, Roberts loved what he heard from Schwartz, sitting on the bench as the reserves finished the game.

“Coop is sitting there, ‘We got one more! We got one more!’ ” Roberts said. “(Hopefully) we have a few more than that. We have to win three to win it.

We’re one game away from going down to Peoria. It’s crazy to think about. It’s a very special opportunity.”

Sometime in the past week, Carter Olson’s dad pulled out an old photo from when he won a regional title his senior year at Marengo.

Chad Olson is the current athletic director and a former varsity boys basketball coach at Marengo. He was a senior on the 1989-90 Indians team, Marengo’s last team to earn a trip to state.

After this year’s Indians won a regional title, Chad compared the photos from then and now.

“It’s pretty cool how they were alike,” said Carter Olson, a senior forward on this year’s team.

Carter has seen some of his dad’s memorabilia from the 1990 Class A state tournament run. That year the Indians reached state, then at Assembly Hall in Champaign, and lost to Prairie Central in the quarterfinals. They finished the year 28-3.

“Sometimes I go digging through stuff,” Carter Olson said. “One time I found his state basketball shirt and I started wearing it around the house, joking around with him.”

One more win and Carter can wear a state finals shirt of his own.

Marengo (25-7) will play Bloomington (25-4) in a Class 3A supersectional at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center in DeKalb.

The winner heads to Peoria for Friday’s state semifinals.

Olson isn’t the only Indians player with Marengo basketball in his blood.

Five current players have a parent who played for either the Marengo boys or girls basketball programs.

Marengo rekindles rich tradition

Comparing ’Cats to Cubs ridiculous VIEWS Jim Litke They’d been serious contenders to win it all just the year before. So when they finally did, it was less a miracle than a matter of time.

The landscape looks a lot more daunting for a Northwestern. They’re headed to the West Region as a No. 8 seed to play No. 9 Vanderbilt with a young coach and no proven stars. Small wonder Northwestern vice president Jim Phillips immediately dubbed the Wildcats’ debut as the “Brainiac Game.”

“We should match ACT and SAT scores at halftime,” Phillips joked, “and give whoever’s ahead an extra point in the game.”

Truth be told, if this was “College Bowl” instead of college basketball, the Wildcats alumni and fans would rate their chances of success a lot higher.

Maybe Illinois State coach Dan Muller should have resorted to Twitter long ago for help scheduling.

The Redbirds’ coach tweeted Monday with a plea to power-five schools to give him a call. The tweet read in part, “It’s me again. Looking 4 home & home next year.

Pls call me 4 chance 4 QUALITY road win, top 33 RPI.” The tweet came after the Redbirds, who went 27-6 and tied Wichita State for the Missouri Valley regular-season title, were one of the top teams left out of the NCAA tournament Sunday.

The biggest reason for the snub was a weak nonconference schedule. Muller said it wasn’t all their fault because power-five schools have been unwilling to play them.

“It’s just hard to schedule the games they want us to play,” Muller said. “What they’re asking for sometimes

is not possible. I can tell you, I probably called – our staff probably called – 25 schools that made the (NCAA) tournament to see if they’d play.

What do you want us to do?”

Muller said he offered home-and-home deals to some schools, including Dayton and VCU, both of which landed at-large bids to the NCAA tournament. He even offered 2-for-1 deals with some schools, but none were willing to risk what might be considered a “bad loss” by the selection committee.

As for his tweet Monday, it only took a few hours for him to get a response.

Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork tweeted back at Muller that he was sitting next to Rebels coach Andy Kennedy, whose team is also in the NIT. And although Kennedy doesn’t use Twitter, he told Bjork to let Muller know to give him a call.

“We’d love to match up,” Bjork said.

And Welsh-Ryan Arena, where the Wildcats have played basketball since 1952, is about to begin a $110 million floor-to-ceiling renovation.

Whether Collins had anything so grand in mind when he arrived is unlikely. But what was important then, as well as now, is that he believed Northwestern basketball could be someday, and he got enough talented kids to buy in.

“He’s pretty good at that,” Law said chuckling. “He brought up the Cubs a lot, too ... and that ‘Why Not Us?’ (rallying cry). He’s a big fan.”

But even Law had to acknowledge replicating that success, at least this season, is probably out of reach.

“On top of that,” he added with a smile, “I grew up on the South Side. I’m a White Sox fan myself.”

Tulsa, Okla.

Frustrated coach takes to Twitter

But over the course of a Sunday afternoon, a few thousand of the faithful took up coach Chris Collins’ mantra – “Believe,” is what he’s told anyone who would listen since he arrived in 2013 – and threw themselves a purple-themed party.

“You don’t get many chances in life in anything to be a part of something historical, things that have never ever been done,” Collins said. “So to be a part of this is something they can never take away from us.”

In a nice bit of serendipity, Vic Law, the first kid who committed to Collins’ first recruiting class, was alongside the coach to watch it unfold.

“I’m used to being part of all the ‘firsts’ here,” he said laughing.

Yet all around him, there was mounting evidence that Northwestern, at long last, finally was beginning to take sports seriously. A new, gleaming, $270 million, 500,000-square-foot athletic facility is being readied along the lakefront on this posh suburban Chicago campus.

2017

The comparisons with the Cubs need to stop now.

Northwestern finally crashing the Big Dance is a great story on its own, maybe even the best one going as this college basketball season races helter-skelter toward the finish line. And like the Cubs, the Wildcats call Chicago home and will arrive for the playoffs with tabletop-sized chips on their shoulders and decades of crummy baggage in tow.

But seriously ...

The Chicago team that won baseball’s World Series last fall and broke a century-and-counting championship drought was already a powerhouse and the heavy favorite. The program that bills itself as “Chicago’s Big Ten team,” which has been playing basketball since 1904, couldn’t be much more of an underdog.

The Cubs are packed with MVP-caliber sluggers and Cy Young award winners and backed up by the best manager and front office in the game.

NEW YORK – UConn’s drive for five will begin at home.

Winners of 107 straight games, coach Geno Auriemma and the Huskies won’t have to leave the state of Connecticut in the NCAA tournament until the Final Four as they try for an unprecedented fifth consecutive national championship.

The top seed will open at home Saturday against Albany and if it advances to the Bridgeport Regional would have a short drive.

“I worry sometimes about being at home. I worry about the distractions that kids have,” Auriemma said. “When you are on the road, you can just huddle everybody up and you can eliminate a lot of distractions.”

Although the Huskies won’t have to leave the state until potentially heading to Dallas for the national semifinals,

the other No. 1 seeds aren’t as lucky.

South Carolina is the top seed in Stockton, California.

The Gamecocks are headed out of the Eastern time zone for the third time in four seasons.

The Gamecocks’ lone trip to the Final Four came when they played a regional in Greensboro in 2015.

“I don’t know what more we can do,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “We won our conference tournament to play closer.”

Baylor is the No. 1 in the Oklahoma City Regional and Notre Dame is the top choice in Lexington, Kentucky.

NCAA selection committee chair Terry Gawlik defended the choice to send South Carolina out west again.

“It made the most sense for the good of the game and the student-athlete experience to go out to Stockton and have Baylor go to Oklahoma City,” she said.

DAYTON, Ohio – Whenever John Collins mentions that he plays for Wake Forest, he usually gets a question about his famous coach. Everybody wants to know about Danny and The Miracles.

Danny Manning led Kansas to the 1988 national title, knocking off Kansas State along the way. He’s got Wake Forest (19-13) back in the NCAA tournament for the first time in seven years, facing K-State again.

“It’s always brought up when I talk to anybody,” Collins said Monday.

“People find out I play for coach Manning, and that’s the first thing that pops up.”

It’s a hot topic again as Manning’s current team gets ready to play Kansas State (20-13) in the First Four on Tuesday night. The winner will play Cincinnati in Sacramento.

AP photo “We had a lot of fun when I was at Wake Forest coach Danny Manning’s team Kansas, and we’re looking forward to will face Kansas State on Tuesday in the NCAA hopefully having a long run in this tourtournament’s First Four in Dayton, Ohio. nament,” said Manning, in his third

season as the Demon Deacons’ coach.

Manning is 30-5 against K-State as a player and coach. Kansas State’s Bruce Weber was an assistant at Purdue when Manning led Kansas to the national title. The Boilermakers were hoping to face Manning in the tournament that year but got knocked out before they could get the chance.

“When you have success as a player, some of those guys don’t have the patience to be a coach,” Weber said. “They don’t have the commitment. Obviously, he does. And I think he’s great for the game.”

Manning has talked to his young team about his experiences in the NCAA tournament. His players joke that it was so long ago that they can’t find any tape of their coach’s glory moments. Manning doesn’t have anything on tape, either.

“My mom might, but I don’t,” he said.

Mount St. Mary’s (19-15) and New Orleans (20-11) open the tournament Tuesday night, with the winner facing No. 1 Villanova on Thursday in Buffalo.

6 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Schwarber plan: An injury-free year

Outfielder/catcher willing to play wherever needed

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Memo to those who want to underestimate Kyle Schwarber: Do so at your risk.

That should have been apparent last fall, when Schwarber came back from a major early season knee injury and willed his way into the lineup in time for the World Series, beating even the Cubs’ own projections for his return.

Schwarber continued working in the offseason, and he arrived at spring training saying he was 100 percent and ready to go.

The 24-year-old has taken up any challenge thrown at him during his brief career after the Cubs took him in the first round of the 2014 draft.

Doubters have scoffed at Schwarber’s viability as a catcher, his preferred position. Last year’s knee injury and the fact that the Cubs have a pair of bona fide backstops will limit Schwarber’s time behind the plate.

So out to left field Schwarber will go again. The 6-foot, 235-pounder might

Note to readers

Cubs 3, Padres 1 (Peoria, Ariz.)

This is the sixth in a series of position previews on the Cubs.

UNFLAPPABLE HAPP You will not get Ian Happ out. No one can.

The switch-hitting prospect went 3 for 3 with a majestic home run to center field, otherwise known as just another day at the office.

The 22-year-old is 14 for 30 (.467) with an OPS of 1.351. Small sample size, sure, but this kid has big talent.

“I’m feeling really good at the plate,” he said. “Just trying to enjoy my time and learn as much as I can.”

be limited in left, but he continues to work in the outfield, and manager Joe Maddon has steadfastly maintained that Schwarber is better than advertised with the outfield glove.

Schwarber has acquitted himself well enough in the Cactus League so far, both in the field and at the plate, where he was 6 for 22 with two triples and a home run through Sunday.

Kyle What the Cubs really Schwarber want to see is a full year of Schwarber and his offensive potential.

He played in only two regular-season games last year because of the knee injury he suffered in the second series of the season. That injury came as the result of a collision in the outfield.

In only 69 games in 2015, Schwarber put up a line of .246/.355/.487 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs. For his postseason career, he has a line of .364/.451/.727 for an OPS of 1.178 with 32 total bases, five home runs and 10 RBIs. This year, Schwarber will take up a new challenge, as he likely will be the Cubs’ primary leadoff hitter.

PITCHER HIT It was a scary moment as Jake Buchanan was hit by a line drive, but word from the Cubs is that he is OK. Buchanan was hit in his upper right (throwing) arm – just a bruise, fortunately.

“It’s another spot in the lineup,” he said early in camp. “I think it would be a cool spot. You’ve got some guys behind you in Kris (Bryant) and Rizz (Anthony Rizzo) and (Ben) Zobrist and all those other guys. If I’m there, I’m there.”

Schwarber might not look like the “prototypical” leadoff hitter, but the description and definition of a leadoff hitter

have changed over the years. He is not a speed guy who will steal many bases, but the Cubs like his ability to see pitches and get on base at his career clip of .353.

“I don’t want him to change anything,” Maddon said. “His DNA is to see pitches, accept walks, work good at-bats.”

When Schwarber returned last fall, he went 7 for 17 in the World Series with a double, two RBIs and three walks. He will continue to wear the knee brace for the foreseeable future. But he said there was no mental hurdle coming back.

“I don’t think there was really a psychological hurdle,” he said. “I wanted to be 100 percent as soon as I came in. These last couple months of being out here and doing my work have been good.”

Schwarber might catch on occasion, and he might be taken out of left field late in games for a defensive replacement. Beyond that, Maddon said he is mindful of all that Schwarber went through during his rehab.

“Pretty significant injury he came off,” the manager said. “We all know what he did in the World Series last year. People are going to look at that and base their entire Schwarber world around that last two games. But he’s still coming off a really significant injury, and we have to be very careful with that.

“I would like to see him play an entire season. It would be ... nice to get a full season of Kyle Schwarber. So that’s the most important thing to get out of this.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Slamming Saladino having a solid spring

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Whether he’s a starter, roving jack of all trades or catching in an emergency, Tyler Saladino figures to give the White Sox a little bit of everything.

Some speed, solid infield defense and, as he showed Monday, occasional pop with the bat.

Saladino’s grand slam against righthander Carlos Carrasco was his third homer of the spring, no great surprise considering he popped eight out of the yard in 319 plate appearances last season, when Saladino ranked sixth among Sox position players in wins above replacement (1.8).

With top prospect Yoan Moncada destined to be the everyday second baseman at some point this season, Saladino can hold down the position while Moncada gets more needed Triple-A at-bats. If and when Moncada arrives,

Saladino can play third, short and first base. He also has played in the outfield.

“He’s a valuable asset to us as a flexible piece,” said manager Rick Renteria, who also has utility infielder Yolmer Sanchez and infield/ outfield option Leury Garcia to give him plenty of flexibility, depending on how the 25-man roster shakes out.

“He’s an established major league baseball Tyler Saladino player, whether it’s using him at second base or using him four or five days playing other positions, including second base. I’m not going to lock myself into one thing with any of them.”

Saladino might want to save some hits for the regular season. He also doubled and singled Monday to raise his average to .480.

Tilson to start season on DL: Charlie Tilson’s follow-up MRI reconfirmed an original diagnosis of a stress reaction

White Sox 9, Indians 5 (Glendale, Ariz.)

SOX POWER Three home runs against right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who threw mainly fastballs, highlighted an eight-run second inning. Tyler Saladino (grand slam), Cody Asche (his second) and Rymer Liriano all went deep.

ON DECK Sox at Mariners, 3:10 p.m. Tuesday (CSN), Peoria, Arizona, Lucas Giolito vs. James Paxton.

Carlos Rodon will pitch in a simulated game.

– Daryl Van Schouwen in his right foot, but the outfielder has inflammation, is in a walking boot and will start the season on the disabled list.

The good news for Tilson is there is no stress fracture. But he’ll go without weight bearing activity for at least three weeks and be re-evaluated.

Tilson, acquired from the Cardinals at last year’s trade deadline, tore his left hamstring in his first game, rehabbed the injury and came to camp as the top contender to start the season in center field.

Good, old No. 14: Maybe the Sox should have saved their 14-run ninth inning late Sunday for the day Paul Konerko visited camp last week, not that Konerko would have enjoyed it.

The late-night blitz, executed mainly by minor leaguers, erased a 3-1 deficit, but was no thing of beauty with four Dodgers errors, three walks and two hit batters included. The Sox did have seven hits, including two by outfielder Jason Bourgeois – one of them a three-run homer. They pushed nine runs across before making an out.

Renteria was pleased with many of the at-bats, but even he felt for the Dodgers, who were on the field for 40 minutes.

“I can imagine how they felt on the other side,” he said.

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The “Three Alphas” had a reunion Monday night.

It was about time.

With Rajon Rondo inserted back into the starting lineup for the first time since late December, the Bulls watched their five-game losing streak come to an end, beating the Charlotte Hornets, 115-109, at the Spectrum Center.

As for Rondo, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade – nicknamed the “Three Alphas” by Rondo before the season started – they combined to score 66 points, including 20 from Rondo.

That was not the only boost the Bulls (32-35) got on the night, either, as Nikola Mirotic went from inactive Sunday to key player off the bench, scoring a team-high 24 points.

It was the first time since Jan. 16, 2008, that the Bulls had four players score 20 points or more.

More importantly, besides 11 minutes unnecessarily handed out to Cameron Payne, coach Fred Hoiberg leaned

Bulls guard Dwyane Wade shoots against the Hornets in the first half Monday night in Charlotte, N.C. The Bulls won, 115-109. on basically eight players, staying away from the deep rotation, as well as the pressures from the front office to focus on developing youth.

Instead, Hoiberg seemed focused on getting a key win in mid-March, looking for his team to fight its way back into the Eastern Conference playoff race. A team that was supposed to look like this all year long.

“Yeah, that’s what I came here for,” Rondo said of the “Three Alphas” once again being the focal point. “But like I said, it’s a process that I went through.

It didn’t kill me. Decisions people

made, and that’s out of my league.”

According to Rondo, Hoiberg sent him a text Sunday night that he wanted to talk to him Monday morning about getting his starting job back. Not the first time Hoiberg approached Rondo with that idea.

A source said Hoiberg approached Rondo about starting last month, but the veteran wasn’t receptive to it. Not that he could be blamed, especially since he lost the starting job in late December, and then wasn’t even being used.

He finally resurfaced with the second unit, and was playing well with the

young guys for the most part.

“Yeah, I was more receptive this time,” Rondo said. “I don’t think I wasn’t last time. I just thought I had a better rhythm with the second unit.’’

Butler and Wade were glad to have Rondo back, fresh off a first quarter in Boston in which the team scored just nine points.

“It helps to make shots, but [Rondo] got us a lot of open ones,” Butler said.

“Attacking the paint, spraying the ball out to open shooters. Whatever it takes to win games, to tell you the truth. That looked really nice tonight. I’m guessing we’ll do it again come Wednesday, so I guess we’ll find out. If we play like that, we’ll be OK.” Rondo set the tempo right away, scoring 11 points and handing out three assists in the first quarter against the Hornets, as the Bulls jumped out to the 36-24 lead.

As for Mirotic, he admittedly was surprised that he not only played, but played just less than 29 minutes, after it seemed like the team was done calling his number this season.

“It was a different game for us, and I think we enjoyed it a lot,” Mirotic said.

“For a long time we didn’t enjoy playing basketball, and today we finally enjoyed the game.”

BLACKHAWKS

Hayden never doubted he’d sign with Hawks

By BRIAN HEDGER For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – John Hayden could have taken the same path that landed Kevin Hayes and Jimmy Vesey with the New York Rangers.

Instead, the 6-foot-3, 217-pound power forward from Yale is eager to begin his career with the Blackhawks – who selected him in the third round of the 2013 NHL draft. Hayden, 22, joined the Hawks on Monday at the United Center, a day after signing a two-year contract, and is expected to make his debut this week.

“I’ve been following the team all year,” Hayden said. “Any kid wants to be here, and I’ve been working hard for this. I owe all my (Yale) teammates and coaches and family and friends all the credit in the world. They’ve been pretty supportive, so it’s surreal, and I’m excited to get started.”

That’s a different outlook than Hayes and Vesey had after their college careers ended in 2014 and 2016,

Each wound up with the Rangers after using the “four-year rule” of the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement to become free agents. The rule requires teams to sign their picks within four years of drafting them.

Hayden could have used it, too, had he waited until Aug. 15 without signing.

“There was never a doubt since I was drafted that this is where I would sign,” Hayden said emphatically. “It’s such a first-class organization, and there’s a winning culture here. I’m very excited to learn from the staff and, obviously, the leadership (group) here.”

Hayden was Yale’s captain this season and played right wing. He set career highs in goals (21), assists (13) and AP photo points (34), and was named a candidate Yale forward John Hayden signed with the for the 2017 Hobey Baker Award as colBlackhawks on Sunday and likely will make lege hockey’s MVP. Now, he will get a chance to battle his debut this week. for a bottom-six role among Hawks respectively. Neither signed with the forwards, likely debuting Thursday in teams that drafted them – including Ottawa. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville Hayes, whom the Hawks’ selected in said Hayden also could play Saturday in Toronto. the first round of the 2010 draft.

“Playing the way he plays, I think that helps him,” Quenneville said, citing Hayden’s size and physical style.

“We don’t have a lot of guys that play that way, so it could be a nice fit for both of us, and we’re looking forward to seeing how he handles it.”

Quenneville also is eager to see how other Hawks forwards handle his presence. There now is a group of five forwards vying for two open bottom-six spots each game.

“That can be good, (and) it can be negative,” Quenneville said. “I find that the guys who don’t play on a regular basis are equally important to the chemistry around your team and their attitudes are very important to the health of your team, as far as knowing there’s support by these guys.

“We don’t expect you to be happy not playing, but let’s make sure when you’re around here, you’re a good teammate and you’re pushing and working in practice, and off the ice, to make sure that you’re good and ready to come in and help out.”
