Good morning, McHenry County ...

Local election coverage ramping up Although we aren’t expecting any Russian meddling or WikiLeaks scandals, the next big elections are around the corner in dozens of races for offices that matter in McHenry County and the surrounding area.

The Northwest Herald’s coverage of the April 4 election has been underway for some time, but readers will notice more attention on these races, which will continue in the coming weeks.

We’ve been featuring some of the key mayor and village president races on our cover, and we’ll continue getting into some of the school board races, city council, village board and other contests inside our news pages or on our website.

All of our local election stories end up on our Election Central website, which you can find at www.nwherald.com/election. In addition to news stories, we’ve started posting candidate questionnaires on some of the area’s key contested races.

Although we can’t anticipate every issue that might come up before a local school board or village board, responses to the questions we posed should offer some insight on how candidates think about particular issues that taxing bodies face.

We hope they are a valuable resource for you, and we urge you to continue following news coverage, check out candidates’ websites and be as informed as possible before voting April 4.

Next week, we’re bringing in candidates in five local races to meet with members of the Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board, which

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons will later make recommendations in those races. We’ll broadcast those discussions on the Northwest Herald’s Facebook page.

On Monday, we’ll have Lake in the Hills village president candidates Paul Mulcahy and Russ Ruzanski.

We’ll have a doubleheader Wednesday with McHenry mayor candidates Steve Cuda and Wayne Jett, and Cary mayor candidates Jim Cosler and Mark Kownick later in the afternoon.

Thursday features a three-way mayor contest in Woodstock among candidates Gregg Hanson, Michael Rein and Brian Sager.

Two of the four people running for village president of Hebron, Frank Beatty and Kimmy Martinez, will be here next Friday. We haven’t heard from John Jacobson or Mark Mogan, but they have been invited to join.

It’s difficult for local journalists, and more importantly, the voting public, to get a handle on all of these races since Illinois consolidated local elections are grouped into one giant ballot, but we’re going to give it our best efforts.

We hope you will, too.

TODAY’S TALKER NEW YORK – Should a chimpanzee be treated as a person with legal rights?

That’s what attorney Steven Wise tried to convince a state appeals court in Manhattan on Thursday. Wise, who represents the Florida-based Nonhuman Rights Project animal advocacy group, argued that two chimps named Tommy and Kiko should be freed from cages to live in a mammoth-sized outdoor sanctuary in Florida.

The Boston lawyer has been trying for years, unsuccessfully, to get courts to grant the New York chimps habeas corpus in order to, he said, free them from unlawful imprisonment.

He said that if the judges agree, the apes – which didn’t appear in court – would be sent to live with others of their species on one of 13 islands amid a lake in Fort Pierce, Florida, that comprise the Save the Chimps sanctuary.

A five-judge panel will issue its ruling in the coming days or weeks.

Kiko’s keeper, Carmen Presti, said he’s not giving him up.

He and his wife rescued the deaf chimp 23 years ago from a life of performing at state fairs and in the TV movie “Tarzan in Manhattan.” Kiko is believed to have lost his hearing when he was beaten by a trainer, and has medical problems requiring constant attention.

SAGER VS. REIN VS. HANSON

Candidates look to improve property taxes, economic development

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Property taxes and economic development are two hot topics among Woodstock mayoral candidates as the April 4 election approaches.

Three candidates will face off April 4 to become mayor of the city of Woodstock, including incumbent Brian Sager, local business owner Gregg Hanson and McHenry County Board member Michael Rein.

All candidates said that an increase in economic development and business retention are among top priorities.

“You need to make an effort to keep the people you already do have,” Hanson said. “I am big on incubation and economic development. Incubate the small businesses so they can grow into large businesses. Madison, Wisconsin, runs multiple programs like that, and it has been successful for them.”

Rein said he wants to take an aggressive approach to recruiting manufacturing and technology companies to Woodstock in an effort to bring back high-paying jobs to the city.

“The other hope is to revitalize our downtown area and bring in more retail – whether that be in downtown or along Route 47,” he said. “These businesses will be a driving force to reduce the [property] tax burden within the city.”

Residents should have more opportunities to shop locally, said Sager, who has served as the city’s mayor for 12 years.

“I want to be able to see dollars staying within the city of Woodstock and to be able to go out and get commodities here,” he said. “And to equally know that that brings jobs for people. … [During the economic downturn] we lost some jobs, and we are now working to bring those jobs back.”

The Woodstock City Council recently voted to reduce its 16 percent portion of the property tax bill by 10 percent.

The council is considering increasing the city’s sales tax to make up for that lost revenue, but it first would engage in a public dialogue process, Sager said.

“We would certainly engage in a public hearing … that would help us understand residents’ and businesses’ perspective on that,” he said. “It’s not the only methodology, but it’s certainly one to consider.”

jreiland@shawmedia.com ELKHORN, Wis. – No criminal charges will be filed against Hebron Trustee Mark Mogan in connection with a fatal pedestrian crash in December, the Walworth County district attorney said Thursday.

A blood test taken hours after the crash found no evidence of alcohol in Mogan’s system.

Mogan, 49, of Hebron, who also is a Lake in the Hills police sergeant, was arrested

by Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, police in December on suspicion of drunken driving after he struck 29-year-old Samantha L. Norris about 5:20 p.m. Dec. 27. Norris was crossing the road at Edwards Boulevard and Route 120 in Lake Geneva.

Norris was taken in critical condition to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where she died days later, authorities have said. District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld told the judge that his office would not file charges against Mogan after they got the results of a blood test that showed there was no alcohol in Mogan’s system. Wiedenfeld also asked the judge to return Mogan’s

$5,000 bond.

Mogan wasn’t in court Thursday. His attorney, Larry Steen, appeared on his behalf.

Mogan refused to give a preliminary breath test and Mark Mogan a field sobriety test at the time of the crash. He also refused tests at the police station. After obtaining a search warrant, investigators took a sample of his blood.

Two Lake Geneva police Samantha L. officers testified in February that they could smell Norris alcohol on Mogan’s breath after the crash.

Mogan’s license was revoked for one year in February after a refusal hearing where Walworth County Judge Phil Koss said that Mogan’s refusal to submit to a blood test after the crash was not proper.

Koss also ordered that Mogan install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle and required he complete a court-ordered alcohol or substance abuse assessment. This

will remain in effect because it’s separate from the criminal allegations, Steen said.

Mogan has been with the Lake in the Hills Police Department for about 23 years.

He was placed on administrative leave while the case was pending, but as of Jan. 19, he returned to work on “administrative desk duty” after the police department was informed of his blood test results, said Amanda Schmitt, Lake in the Hills police public information officer. Schmitt said that after Thursday’s hearing Mogan will be placed back on “full duty,” and he will return to his regular assignment.

Mogan also filed to run for Hebron village president in the April 4 consolidated election against John Jacobson, who faces gun and drug charges after his most recent arrest.

Norris was born in Park Ridge and graduated in 2007 from Badger High School in Lake Geneva. At the time of her death, she was working in food service at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, according to her obituary. Norris was an avid reader and an animal lover.

“She loved to walk and walked everywhere she went,” her obituary said.

should remember they can be held liable and be prosecuted if someone they serve is involved in a drunken driving crash.

Police said that those hosting parties should make sure all guests designate a sober driver in advance, serve food and include nonalcoholic beverages at the party, and keep the phone number for local cab companies handy.

Those attending a party should designate a sober driver before the party begins, stay where they are if there is no sober driver, watch others who are drunk to make sure

they don’t drive and always buckle up, police said. Pedestrians also are at risk, police said, and should keep an eye out for cars. Drivers should be on alert for impaired walkers who may disobey street signs, police said.

The St. Patrick’s Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative is funded by federal traffic safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation, according to the release.

LOCAL BRIEF Crystal Lake police plan DUI enforcement for St. Patrick’s Day

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake police are encouraging people to drive sober this St. Patrick’s Day with the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative. Police will be looking for drunken drivers and stepping up seat belt enforcement, according to a news release from the Crystal Lake Police Department.

Woodstock School District 200 Board candidates answer questions Thursday at a forum at the Woodstock Public Library.

D-200 board candidates talk consolidation, property taxes

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Property taxes and school consolidation remained hot topics at the second Woodstock School District 200 board candidates forum Thursday at the Woodstock Public Library.

Voters will take to the polls April 4 to select from 10 candidates vying for four open seats on the board.

Two incumbents – Bill Nattress and board President Carl Gilmore – are running against John Parisi, Susan Handelsman, Barbara Gessert, Suzann Schroeder, Karen Kockler, Jill Ferrarini, Jacob Homuth and Bruce Farris.

Farris was absent at both the first forum and Thursday’s. He said in a provided statement that he wasn’t given information about the first forum, and he was ill Thursday.

“I have no agenda. My intent is to research information presented, listen to the community and then decide the best interest of District 200 residents in what direction to pursue,” Farris said in a written statement. “The board’s No. 1 priority should be to not increase the current student-to-teacher ratio. …

Any reduction in facilities in programs should strive to reduce the loss in employment.”

Handelsman and Gessert are running on a platform of reducing property taxes above all else, which was

Message and data rates apply. sometimes met by resistance from the audience. “[Board members] do take an oath to protect taxpayers first and not to focus on students,” Gessert said. “We have teachers and administration.

That is their focus. The question is what is No. 1. You can come to a board meeting and ask them to change the oath. But I am telling you the fact.”

Handelsman said she supports consolidation but recognizes that residents aren’t supportive of the idea, and she said the decision likely will come down to compromise.

“There are possibilities to merge the high schools and programs and save on hugely expensive admin [costs], … but that was put to [the] community, and they said that can’t happen,” she said.

“So that is not allowed to us as an option. … There are many consolidation opportunities, but people don’t want to.”

Most candidates said they are open to exploring possibilities as long as education and safety aren’t compromised.

Parisi, who is on the district’s Facilities Review Committee – which is drafting options for the board to con-

sider – said he is excited about emerging possibilities, such as combining like programs.

“There are three criteria that have to be met before I would support any consolidation,” he said. “First, it has to present a significant savings to the community. Second, it has to be able to be done in a way to be able to improve or keep steady the education of our students. Three, it has to be done in a way that has as little social impact on our students as possible.”

A longtime educator, Kockler said she is excited to see what the Facilities Review Committee proposes, but the idea of combining programs gives her pause because it involves moving students around.

“As a teacher, I know that moving kids around is really difficult on them,” she said. “I think those things need to be taken into consideration.”

Homuth, a probation officer, said he sees the importance of education every day at his job and thinks students are the board’s top priority.

“As far as funding, I don’t really see how it is feasible to cut or consolidate,” he said. “I don’t think that is positive for the students. I am, of course, all for exploring options. At this point, I am not aware of one on the table. I do know that it is not feasible to close or consolidate at a high school level. Of course, as a board member, it’s important to be responsible with taxpayer money, but you also have to weigh student interests and what is best for them.”

1st Ward alderman candidates discuss downtown development, parking before 250+ residents

Message and data rates apply. the road is revitalization, a committee that could help guide us in the right area for revitalizing the downtown area and more businesses to bring to McHenry.”

1st Ward alderman race

After Jett and Cuda spoke, 1st Ward alderman candidates incumbent Victor Santi and challenger Michael Coveny took the stage.

One issue they brought forth was downtown McHenry’s parking concerns, as the future redevelopment of the indoor movie theater has some residents worried there won’t be enough parking available.

“When the new development takes place on Green Street, there’s definitely going to be a parking issue,” Coveny said.

“Certainly that parking has got to

be resolved, if you’re going to bring all these people to a new restaurant and movie theater. … It’s an issue. There clearly is a need,” Coveny said.

Santi said the parking problems are going to be there for a while, but they’re going to have to make adjustments.

“We have to look at certain possible areas that we may have to purchase and make some kind of agreement with the developer and with companies that are interested in helping out with that problem. Resolving it by possibly taking down a building or two somewhere in the area,” Santi said.

“It’s a situation that is inconvenient for a lot of the customers of these retail establishments. And we really need to take a hard look of where we can develop a site or two,” Santi said.

The league already has held forums for the Crystal Lake City Council race and the McHenry School District 15 and McHenry Community High School District 156 candidates. The next scheduled forum will be for the two open seats on the McHenry County College Board of Trustees at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Luecht Conference Center at MCC.

McHENRY – The League of Women Voters of McHenry County held a candidates’ forum Thursday for the two contested City Council races in McHenry.

The forum was at Parkland School, 1802 N. Ringwood Road, with more than 250 McHenry residents in attendance.

First to speak were the two candidates running for McHenry mayor; local businessman Wayne Jett and former Mayor Steven Cuda. The winner will succeed outgoing Mayor Susan Low, who is not seeking re-election.

Issues discussed included revitalizing downtown McHenry, property taxes and the city’s reserve fund.

“My plan for the reserve fund is to give some of that money back to the residents of McHenry,” Cuda said.

“With a state with no budget … I think it’s risky to give up our actual reserve fund without having a plan in place,” Jett said.

In other issues, both candidates said they were in agreement with the city

switching its recycling service from Waste Management to Prairieland Disposal to save money.

They also both agreed that the city doesn’t need any more video Wayne Jett gambling businesses at this time.

The candidates were later asked if they plan to add any new committees to McHenry, or if they plan to eliminate any existing staff posiSteven Cuda tions or committees.

“I would not add any additional departments or department heads to the city as this time,” Cuda said. “It just doesn’t go hand-in-hand with lowering taxes. I’m not aware of any committee or department that should be disbanded. … I would not be in favor of any additional cutbacks at this time.”

“I would not want to add any more committees at this time,” Jett said.

“But one thing I would consider down

Capital expenditures for the police department include about $102,000 for two replacement squad cars and a squad video recording system capital lease.

About $250,000 in expenditures is budgeted for recreational programs.

Although the number of courses offered for recreation has decreased from 1,185 to 904 in the past five years, the cancellation rate also has decreased from 45 percent to 16 percent in the same time frame, Kumbera said, which reflects the efforts of the village to have more quality over quantity when it comes to recreation courses.

A public hearing will take place at 7:25 p.m. Tuesday at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin, regarding the proposed budget for fiscal 2018. The Village Board will vote April 4 whether to approve the budget, and the fiscal year begins May 1.

Detailing your car

SPONSORED BY

When you bring in your car for detailing it’s similar to a woman treating herself to a lovely afternoon at the spa.

She may get a manicure, pedicure, massage and facial before getting her hair and makeup done upon departure, leaving the establishment while looking and feeling at her best.

Your car will get an extremely thorough cleaning if you choose to have it detailed.

This isn’t just a simple car wash. It’s far more than that. It makes sense that it’s called detailing because the cleaning and reconditioning of both the exterior and interior of the vehicle is extensively detailed as it restores the vehicle’s beauty as best as possible.

Consider Gary Lang Auto Group the next time you need a vehicle detailed. The Gary Lang staff works meticulously in covering all the details in every vehicle it services.

Detailing at Gary Lang includes painted surface decontamination, the steam cleaning of all carpets and upholstery, cleaning and polishing of the glass inside and out, cleaning and dressing of tires and rims, door panels and consoles and plastics and vinyls, polishing of all chrome, odor removal and scent spray, the removal of light bugs and tar and the cleaning of your CD player/DVD media.

The staff at Gary Lang knows that vehicle owners like you not only are concerned with how your car, truck or SUV is running, but how it looks as well.

That’s why they strive for excellence at the McHenry Auto Detailing Center.

Consider that detailing extends the life of a vehicle’s paint, ensures your headlights and taillights are clean, providing more light and safer driving, and that it extends the life of your tires.

That said, while excellent detailing will have your car looking as good as new, it also improves its value and promotes safety.

ALGONQUIN – The village plans to invest millions in its downtown during the next year.

The proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year shows an increase from the previous year in spending in the water and sewer improvement and construction fund – in part because of some downtown improvements.

Overall, the village plans to spend about $49 million in the next budget year and take in about $42 million, village documents show.

The village’s general fund is expected to be balanced at about $19 million.

The general fund pays for core services, including police, administration costs and parks and recreation.

The general fund budget shows about a 2 percent decrease in revenues and expenditures compared with the previous fiscal year, according to village documents.

“It is the overriding principle of the budget to deliver outstanding service to our citizens at a reasonable price without drawing down the village’s

working capital, assuming no additional tax burden on our residents,” Village Manager Tim Schloneger wrote in a memo.

In the village’s water and sewer improvement and construction fund, reserves are expected to be used to balance the estimated $6.6 million spent and $1.6 million being taken in, documents show. In fiscal 2017, about $2.6 million in expenditures were budgeted, documents show.

The motor fuel tax and street improvement fund’s budget shows about a $4 million deficit, documents show.

About $9.5 million in expenditures is expected in the street improvement fund, documents show.

Algonquin Assistant Village Manager Michael Kumbera said the practice of accumulating reserves to complete capital projects is common and allows the village to draw from those funds when major projects come about.

In total, about $6.3 million in improvements are budgeted for downtown plans, Kumbera said, including the replacement of existing water main and sanitary sewers, the relocating of overhead utilities, and construction

oversight and engineering for future phases of the downtown redevelopment and construction.

The improvements are part of a plan for nearly $30 million in downtown improvements over the course of several years.

Projections for sales tax revenue for the village are expected to increase 1.3 percent, bringing in about $7.7 million – the largest source of revenue for the general fund budget, documents show.

Current state projections show an income tax decrease of 13 percent, so the village is planning on receiving about $3.4 million in income tax, documents show.

The village is expecting about $6 million from real estate taxes. The village decreased its property tax levy this year, bringing it below 2008 levels, Kumbera said.

No significant reduction in services to residents is expected in the next budget year, and the village’s cash position remains solid, Schloneger wrote in the memo. No new taxes, personnel or debt is expected, documents show.

About $9.7 million in the general fund is dedicated to the police department. About $8 million of that comes from the cost to staff the department.

it fails, we will have to look at a different route and a different means to help raise the money.”

Rein said that the one thing he wants voters to keep in mind at the ballot box is where they want the city to move.

“I can bring a new change to the city,” he said. “The one thing to keep in mind is, are they better off than where they were 10 years ago? Has the city progressed in 10 years? Basically, I’m looking to change the direction of the way Woodstock has been going.”

Hanson said he wants to increase connectivity between local government and its constituents.

“People are beat down,” he said. “I

think listening a lot more to businesses and residents, fixing the roads and not spending money on things that don’t enhance the quality of life for residents is my top priority. … I am interested in making a difference in the town. If I can do that, I have succeeded.”

Sager said that he is proud of his accomplishments over the course of the past three terms, and he hopes to be able to continue to serve the community, which he said is “blessed.”

“Woodstock is a community that has historically identified areas of need and has worked together to make good things happen,” Sager said. “That is who I am. I stand for people coming to gather in the true spirit of community to make the community itself a desirable place for people to live, work and raise a family.”

Illinois Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, speaks to reporters Dec. 1 at the state Capitol in Springfield. Illinois health care experts said the state would face a $40 billion loss in federal Medicaid support under a health care overhaul proposed by congressional Republicans.

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER

Harris said lawmakers would need to find ways to fill the $4 billion-a-year hole.

“That’s money the state has to come up with, out of tax dollars,” Harris said. Otherwise, he explained, Illinois would have to cover less people, offer fewer services or cut rates to care providers.

The Republican plan would phase out the Affordable Care Act’s nationwide expansion of Medicaid to 11 mil-

lion additional low earners. 650,000 Illinois citizens have gained coverage under the expansion, the federal match for which would begin to diminish in 2020 under the proposal. Gross said two thirds of those enrolled under the expansion could face restricted federal coverage by 2021 depending on fluctuations in income or other circumstances.

The overhaul also would cap federal support given to states for Medicaid recipients instead of matching whatever states decide to spend.

Republican Rep. Tom Demmer of Dixon contended that although the Affordable Care Act succeeded in extending coverage, it also has led to increased premiums and restricted choices for individuals buying insurance on the state market.

Roberta Rakove, a spokeswoman for the Chicago-based Sinai Health System, told lawmakers that Medicaid expansion made it easier for Sinai’s network of charitable facilities to care for patients regardless of insurance status. Before the expansion, she said, 15 percent of Sinai patients were uninsured. That figure fell by more than half under the Affordable Care Act. “The expansion has taken us to a new level,” she said. “It’s taken us beyond survival.”

The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois could face nearly $40 billion in lost federal Medicaid support over 10 years under a health care overhaul proposed last week by congressional Republicans, a health industry spokesman told lawmakers Thursday.

Three state House committees heard testimony from experts on how major changes to Medicaid outlined in the American Health Care Act could affect Illinois recipients.

The GOP plan to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law would phase out an expansion of Medicaid and cap federal spending for the entire program going forward.

President Donald Trump supports the proposal.

Illinois Health and Hospital Association spokesman David Gross testified that Illinois would lose at least $40 billion in federal Medicaid funding over the act’s 10-year lifespan.

The association arrived at this figure by taking Illinois’ share of the nation’s Medicaid expansion population and multiplying it by the $880 billion in reductions estimated by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office under the Republican plan. Gross said

Trump seeks to nix Great Lakes restoration funding

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – President Donald Trump wants to eliminate federal support of a program that addresses the Great Lakes’ most pressing environmental threats.

Trump’s 2018 budget released Thursday would remove all funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which has received strong support from members of Congress in both parties since President Barack Obama established it in 2009.

The program has pumped more than $2.2 billion into the eight-state region for projects that have removed toxic wastes from industrial harbors, fought invasive species such as Asian carp, restored wildlife habitat and supported efforts to prevent harmful algal blooms.

the cuts would jeopardize patient care.

Democratic Rep. Greg Harris of Chicago, who chairs the appropriations committee for human services, said one in four Illinois citizens receives Medicaid benefits and could be affected.

Illinois currently devotes $10 billion in state funds each year to Medicaid, or about one-quarter of the state’s general fund. The federal government currently matches that amount.

The initiative has generally received about $300 million a year.

Rauner aide seeks CPS support of pension plan

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s education secretary is urging Chicago Public Schools officials to back Senate Republican legislation to overhaul pension programs statewide.

Beth Purvis said Wednesday the plan would provide $215 million for retirement accounts administered by Chicago schools.

The legislation is separate from Democratic Senate President John Cullerton’s plan. That is part of the Senate’s “grand bargain” to try to break a two-year stalemate with Rauner over the budget.

Purvis wants support for proposals by Republican senators Jil Tracy of Quincy and Michael Connelly of Lisle. She said lawmakers could approve them quickly and Rauner would sign them. One measure would give state employees a choice of more benefits while working or raises in retirement.

The other creates a defined-contribution program for new employees.

Paramedic rescues baby alive from submerged SUV

ST. LOUIS – A fast-acting paramedic dove into the frigid water of an Illinois lake where a SUV was submerged on Thursday and found an infant floating inside, then administered CPR on the hood and swam the child to shore, authorities said. The baby is expected to make a full recovery.

The infant was one of seven siblings who survived a tragic chain of events that left one person dead in a house fire. A second body was recovered from the lake where the baby was found.

It all began at 5:15 a.m. in Glen Carbon, Illinois, when fire broke out at a home owned by Cristy Lynn Campbell. An adult died in the fire but six children, siblings ranging up to age 14, escaped.

Glen Carbon is about 30 miles east of St. Louis.

Sheriff John Lakin said the person killed has not been identified, but Campbell’s estranged husband and the father of the children, Justin Campbell, has not been accounted for.

Chicago police leader meets with U.S. attorney general

CHICAGO – Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson asked U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday to send more federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents to the city to focus on gun crimes, but did not discuss whether Sessions would push for court enforcement of reforms of the beleaguered police force.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said after the 90-minute meeting Sessions had with Johnson and other police chiefs in Washington, D.C., Sessions was “receptive to the idea that the federal government needs to take a more aggressive stance on taking on bad guys with guns,” but did not commit to anything specific.

Johnson also asked Sessions to establish in Chicago the kind of partnership that Denver and other cities have with the federal government that would allow the police department to access a massive database that helps investigators trace guns by analyzing shell casings found at crime scenes.

Trump’s budget increases military spending by $54B

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s new $1.15 trillion budget would reshape America’s government with the broad, conservative strokes he promised as a candidate, ordering generous increases for the military, slashing domestic programs and riling both fellow Republicans and Democrats by going after favored programs.

The president’s initial budget proposal, submitted to Congress on Thursday, would boost defense spending by $54 billion, the largest increase since Ronald Reagan’s military buildup of the 1980s. That means deep cuts elsewhere – the environment, agriculture, the arts – but Trump said that’s imperative to take on the Islamic State group and others in a dangerous world.

“To keep Americans safe, we have made the tough choices that have been put off for too long,” he declared in a statement titled “America First” that accompanied the budget.

Or, as Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said, “This is a hard power budget, not a soft power budget.”

It’s not entirely in line with Trump’s campaign pledges.

It would make a big down payment on the U.S.-Mexico border wall, which Trump repeatedly promised the Mexicans would pay for. American taxpayers will, at least for now.

Thursday’s proposal calls for an immediate $1.4 billion infusion with an additional $2.6 billion planned for the 2018 budget year starting Oct. 1.

Parts of Trump’s spending plan for the next fiscal year angered both congressional Democrats and Republicans who will have the final say on it.

While it targets Democratic priorities such as housing, community development and the

environment, it also would slash GOP sacred cows such as aid to rural schools and subsidized airline service to Trump strongholds, and it would raise fees on participants in the federal flood insurance program.

The budget pursues frequent targets of the GOP’s staunchest conservatives, eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts, legal aid for the poor, low-income heating assistance and the AmeriCorps national service program established by President Bill Clinton.

But Midwestern Republicans, including Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, were upset by cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

Southern Republicans, such as Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, lashed out at cuts he called “draconian, careless and counterproductive.”

One target of the budget is the Appalachian Regional Commission, which helps communities in the region.

Trump’s proposal covers only roughly onefourth of the estimated $4 trillion total federal budget. This is the discretionary portion that Congress passes each year, not addressing taxes, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Nor does it make predictions about deficits and the economy. Those big-picture details are due in May, and are sure to show large – probably permanent – budget deficits.

Trump has vowed not to cut Social Security and Medicare and is dead set against raising taxes.

As for Thursday’s proposal, Republicans praised the president for beefing up the Pentagon, but they were far less enthusiastic about accepting Trump’s recipe for doing so without adding to the nation’s $20 trillion debt.

“While we support more funding for our military and defense, we must maintain support for our farmers and ranchers,” said North Dakota Republican John Hoeven, blasting a 21 percent cut to the Agriculture Department’s budget.

nerable residents and shifts significant new costs to states.

A copy of the letter was provided to The Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told the Portland Press Herald, “This is not a bill I could support in its current form.” Collins joins Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Utah’s Mike Lee in opposing the legislation, while other Republicans, including Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Ted Cruz of Texas, have expressed deep misgivings. Collins’ opposition leaves the bill short of the support it needs in the Senate unless it changes, since GOP leaders can only lose two votes.

The House GOP bill repeals elements of the Obama law, including the “individual mandate” that penalizes people who don’t have insurance. It sets up a new system of tax credits that is less generous, particularly to older Americans. It eliminates some of Obamacare’s requirements for services health plans

need to cover, and it sunsets an expansion of Medicaid over several years, an element causing great consternation with moderate-leaning Republicans but one that conservatives want to move up faster.

The bill also cuts a slew of taxes, mostly to the benefit of the rich. Conservatives say it doesn’t go far enough in repealing the Obama-era law in full, and an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found 24 million people would lose their health insurance over a decade although the bill also would reduce the deficit.

Republicans in the Budget Committee pushed nonbinding proposals to phase out the Medicaid expansion more rapidly, help low-income people more with tax credits and require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to meet work requirements.

By SEAN MURPHY

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma state senator was booked Thursday on child prostitution charges for allegedly hiring a 17-year-old boy for sex, leading to calls for his resignation and a separate internal investigation into his years of work with a youth program.

Ralph Shortey, a 35-year-old conservative Republican who has a wife and three young daughters, surrendered to authorities on charges of engaging in child prostitution, transporting a minor for prostitution and engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church. He was released after about two hours on a $100,000 bond.

“I have no comment at this time, but I will soon,” he told reporters outside of the jail.

Court records didn’t show if he had retained an attorney, and Shortey didn’t reply to texts and voicemails seeking comment.

The allegations led to Shortey’s removal from his volunteer position with the Oklahoma City YMCA’s Youth and Government program, in which he has been active for 17 years and served as a chaperone on several out-of-state trips, YMCA spokeswoman Brenda Bennett said. She said she was unaware of any allegations of wrongdoing involving Shortey’s work for the program, but that the agency is conducting an internal investigation because of the nature of the criminal case.

Acting on a tip from the teen’s fa-

Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey, R-Oklahoma City, speaks Feb. 22 during a Senate committee meeting in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma Senate has voted to punish Shortey, who police said was found with a teenage boy in a motel room. Police officials in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore still are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident last week. ther, police went to the Super 8 Hotel in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore last week to check on the boy, who was seen going into a room with a man, according to a police report. The officers were told the boy had solicited sex through Craigslist on other occasions and had a history of drug abuse.

The officers smelled marijuana smoke coming from the room and

found Shortey and the teen alone inside.

A search of the teen’s tablet uncovered a series of sexually explicit exchanges in which Shortey referred to the teen as “baby boy” and offered him cash in exchange for “sexual stuff,” according to a police report. The conversation had started with the teen messaging Shortey that he needed “money

for spring break,” police wrote. Officers also found lotion and an open box of condoms inside backpacks in the room.

Shortey and the teen both told the officers that they had known each other for about a year, having met through Craigslist and later communicating via the messenger application Kik, which has been criticized as being unsafe for minors.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, but Oklahoma’s child prostitution statute applies to any person younger than 18 years old. It’s unclear from the police report or charging documents if Shortey and the teen actually had sex.

But prosecutor Susan Caswell said her office wouldn’t have to prove they did.

“Soliciting refers to offering money in exchange for sex,” Caswell said.

“You don’t have to perform the act.”

The state Senate imposed sanctions Wednesday on Shortey, voting 43-0 for a resolution that accused him of “disorderly behavior” and stripped him of much of his power and many perks.

After his arrest Thursday, Republican Gov. Mary Fallin and the chamber’s top Republican and Democrat called for Shortey’s immediate resignation, saying he couldn’t adequately serve his Oklahoma City district given the circumstances.

If he doesn’t resign, Shortey, who was a county coordinator and early supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, could be expelled with a two-thirds vote, or 32 members in the 48-member body.

WASHINGTON – Short of votes for their health care bill, Republican congressional leaders turned to President Donald Trump on Thursday to wrangle support for the divisive legislation they hope to push through Congress before Easter.

But Trump sounded more like he was at the start of a negotiation than ready to close the deal. And combined with opposition from Republicans of all stripes, the president’s flexible stance suggested final passage of the bill could be delayed, potentially exposing the legislation to the same kind of extended public backlash that undermined former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act from the start.

“It’s very preliminary,” the president said of the House GOP bill in a Fox News Channel interview Wednesday, when questioned about reports the leg-

islation would help Democratic voters more than those who elected him. “A lot of things aren’t consistent. But these are going to be negotiated. ... We will take care of our people or I’m not signing it, OK, just so you understand.”

The House Budget Committee narrowly voted Thursday to advance the troubled Republican health bill, with defections by three GOP conservatives underscoring the obstacles party leaders face in maneuvering to avoid a stinging setback to their showpiece legislation after seven years of promises to repeal and replace “Obamacare.”

In another warning signal, four GOP governors wrote congressional leaders saying the beleaguered bill would not work for their states.

Govs. John Kasich of Ohio, Rick Snyder of Michigan, Brian Sandoval of Nevada, and Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas said the legislation “provides almost no new flexibility for states,” fails to ensure enough resources to protect vul-

Ireland’s leader pushes Trump on Irish in U.S. illegally

By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny is urging President Donald Trump to help Irish people living in the U.S. illegally, saying they just want to “make America great.”

Kenny spoke at a luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday as part of a series of events celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, including a one-on-one meeting with Trump at the White House, where the two discussed immigration, trade and the Irish economy. In the evening, the pair participated in the annual shamrock ceremony, a decades-old tradition in which Trump was presented with a bowl of Ireland’s famous greens.

On people living in the U.S. illegally, Kenny said: “We would like this to be sorted. It would remove a burden of so many people that they can stand out in the light and say, now I am free to contribute to America as I know I can. And that’s what people want.”

Kenny also urged Trump to consider providing more work visas “for young people who want to come to America and to work here.”

Some estimates put the Irish natives living in the country illegally in the tens of thousands. Kenny has made a similar

President Donald Trump, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and House Speaker Paul Ryan pose for photographs after a “Friends of Ireland” luncheon Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. pitch on immigration in the past, but the current U.S. administration’s position on illegal immigration has heightened the underlying tension.

Trump ran on a promise to curtail illegal immigration. His revised travel ban, affecting travelers from six Muslim-majority nations, was set to go into effect Thursday before it was put on hold Wednesday by a federal judge in Hawaii.

Kenny also sought to impress upon

During an evening reception at the White House, he described Ireland as “a committed member” of the EU.

If that isn’t the issue, you may need a new fill valve, which is easy to install. Both items can be purchased from Ace.

A homeowner’s biggest fear of a broken toilet probably isn’t where they’ll have to go to relieve themselves, but the possibility of an expensive plumber bill.

Can’t flush your toilet? Check the arm connecting the flush lever to the flapper chain.

Replace it if broken. If not, the chain might simply need to be tightened. Another problem could be the flapper. Yet another reason it’s not flushing could be the tank’s water level. On the newer fill valves you can simply twist the float cup and adjust the water level.

House, proclaiming his love for Ireland.

At the luncheon, he called Kenny a “new friend” and quoted an Irish proverb to remember friends that “have stuck by you.” Trump added, “Politically speaking, a lot of us know that.”

During the evening St. Patrick’s Day reception, Trump hailed the relationship between the two countries and pledged to be “an ever-faithful partner and an always loyal friend.”

Kenny was the first EU politician to meet with Trump after British Prime Minister Theresa May. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was scheduled to come to the White House on Tuesday, but that visit was moved back to Friday because of the snow.

The St. Patrick’s Day event at the White House dates back to the 1950s and has become an important standing engagement for Ireland, which has strong emotional and ancestral ties to the U.S. Speaking after Trump at the luncheon, Kenny showed off his country’s famed wit. “They say the Irish have the capacity to change everything,” he said.

“I just saw the president of the United States read from his script, entirely.”

But Kenny also was complimentary.

“Let me congratulate you, President Trump, on your election,” he said.

“You beat them all.”

U.S. to confront G-20 at finance meeting

By DAVID McHUGH The Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany – U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to get tough on trade partners such as China, Mexico and Germany. Now his Treasury chief, Steven Mnuchin, will get his first opportunity to confront them all in one room.

The meeting of the most powerful economies’ finance ministers in Germany this week is likely to be dominated by talk about whether to commit to free trade, as previous meetings have, or implicitly accept that some countries may put up barriers, such as tariffs, as Trump has promised.

The Group of 20 – 19 countries worth most of the global economy, plus the European Union – also is due to discuss its longstanding ban on manipulating currencies to gain economic advantage. Weakening a currency can help a country’s exporters but also can end up dumping its troubles with business costs and competitiveness on its trade partners.

The gathering Friday and Saturday in the southern German resort town of Baden-Baden will help set the tone for international commerce and finance and will give Mnuchin a chance to clarify what the U.S. position is.

The focus will be on the final statement issued jointly by the finance ministers Saturday.

Last year’s gathering of the Group of 20 finance ministers in Chengdu, China, issued a statement opposing

The meeting is scheduled for Friday and Saturday. “all forms of protectionism.” This time, such unequivocal language could be softened to refer to trade that is “open” and “fair,” without the absolute opposition to import restrictions to benefit domestic workers.

Trump has repeatedly emphasized that the U.S. needs a tougher approach to trade that would put American workers and companies first. He already has pulled the U.S. out of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement with Japan and other Pacific Rim countries, and he has started the process to renegotiate the North American Free

Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada, both of whom are G-20 members.

Additionally, Britain is preparing to pull out of the European Union and its free-trade zone that permits cross-border business without import and export taxes, or tariffs, after voters chose to leave in a referendum last year.

In a visit to Berlin ahead of the G-20 meeting, Mnuchin said the U.S. is interested in trade that is not only free but fair.

“Our objective is getting more balanced trade agreements,” he said, confirming that having border-adjusted

taxes is an option. He said, without providing specifics, that some U.S. trade agreements need to be re-examined, while adding that, “It is not our desire to get into trade wars.”

Mnuchin is expected to press his counterparts to live up to their commitments to refrain from purposefully weakening their currencies.

During the campaign, Trump said he planned to name China a currency manipulator right after he took office. But since taking office, he has not discussed the topic.

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen will join Mnuchin in representing the U.S. Other prominent participants will be European Central Bank President Mario Draghi; China’s finance minister, Xiao Jie; and the host finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble of Germany.

The G-20 also is due to discuss ways to strengthen the global economy and create more jobs.

After meeting Thursday with Schaeuble, Mnuchin said the U.S. still wants to play an “essential leadership role” in the world economy. He and Schaeuble, he said, agreed it was important to work together to produce “growth, stimulate job creation and work cooperatively on balanced trade across the economies.”

The G-20 meeting is taking place with the global economy in relatively good shape: the International Monetary Fund predicts growth of 3.4 percent this year and 3.6 percent next year, compared with 3.1 percent last year.

ATLANTA – Shaquille O’Neal has bought new furniture for the family of a 5-year-old Atlanta girl who survived a dog attack that killed another child.

WAGA-TV reported that Syari Sanders returned home this week after being hospitalized since the Jan. 17 attack.

Sanders and 6-year-old Logan Braatz were walking to a bus stop when they were attacked by two dogs. Braatz died from his injuries. The dogs’ owner has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct.

O’Neal met Sanders and her family at an Atlanta furniture store and picked up the tab for new items.

Prince William’s ski holiday sparks media criticism

AP file photo

Chelsea Clinton speaks Sept. 19 at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.

Chelsea Clinton writes children’s book, ‘She Persisted’ NEW YORK – Chelsea Clinton has written a children’s book, with a sharply worded title.

The book is called “She Persisted” and comes out May 30, Penguin Young Readers announced Thursday. Clinton will honor 13 American women “who never take no for an answer,” including Harriet Tubman, Sonia Sotomayor and Oprah Winfrey.

“She Persisted” also will feature a “special” and unidentified cameo, presumably Clinton’s mother, Hillary Clinton. The book will be illustrated

by Alexandra Boiger.

“I wrote this book for everyone who’s ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down – for everyone who’s ever been made to feel less than,” Chelsea Clinton said in a statement. “The 13 women in ‘She Persisted’ all overcame adversity to help shape our country – sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. With this book, I want to send a message to young readers around the country – and the world – that persistence is power.”

The title refers to a comment – now a catchphrase – by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the silencing of Sen. Elizabeth Warren during a debate in February about the confirmation of attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions. Warren, a Democrat, opposed the nomination and was speaking against it on the Senate floor when Republicans invoked a little-known rule to stop her.

“Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech,” McConnell later said. “She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

LONDON – Britain’s Prince William is taking flak for going on a ski holiday instead of attending a major royal engagement with his family.

Criticism mounted after footage emerged of 34-year-old William busting late-night dance moves in Verbier, Switzerland, this week.

It has fueled claims from the tabloid press that the second in line to the throne does not work hard enough. The tabloid Sun used the headline “Throne Idle.”

William was skiing while his 90-year-old grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and other senior royals attended a Commonwealth Day service Monday in London.

‘SNL’ to broadcast live to all, not taped for some

NEW YORK – After 42 seasons, “Saturday Night Live” is trying something new: airing live to everybody.

For the first time, “SNL” will broadcast live simultaneously across the U.S. for its final four shows of the season, NBC announced Thursday. Until now, viewers in the Mountain and Pacific time zones have seen the show not as it aired “live from New York,” but on tape delay.

The new live-for-all policy will apply to episodes telecast April 15, May 6, May 13 and May 20. Each show will air at 10:30 p.m. CDT. Hosts for these editions will be, respectively, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Pine, Melissa

McCarthy and, for the season finale, Dwayne Johnson.

Singer-actress Demi Lovato celebrates 5 years sober

Demi Lovato is celebrating five years of sobriety.

The 24-year-old singer celebrated with an Instagram post Wednesday. She wrote that “it’s been quite the journey,” adding, “so many times I wanted to relapse but sat on my hands and begged God to relieve the obsession.”

Lovato’s personal struggles have been well-documented. In 2010, she left a tour with the Jonas Brothers and entered rehab for an eating disorder and self-mutilation.

She also has said that she used drugs and alcohol to self-medicate.

Lovato said she has bipolar disorder and has been an advocate for mental health awareness.

Victoria Beckham to spice up Target sales with line

NEW YORK –Target is counting on Victoria Beckham to spice up sales.

The pop-star-turned-designer and Target teased looks Wednesday from a limited-time collaboration that go on sale next month, highlighting hot-pink pants suits and whimsical black-and-white dresses. The 200 items priced from $6 to $70 also include tops, trousers and rompers for women, as well as some matching children’s items. It’s the first foray into children’s wear for Beckham, the former Spice Girl who launched her namesake fashion brand in 2008.

More Trump tax questions

With characteristic incoherence, the White House simultaneously boasted that leaked data from President Donald Trump’s 2005 tax return demonstrates that Trump paid his fair share of taxes and denounced the “dishonest media” for publishing these flattering facts. But there would be no need for reporters to “illegally” publish such information, to quote the White House’s absurd accusation against MSNBC and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston, if Trump himself had simply honored the decades-old tradition of releasing his returns while still a candidate for the office he now holds. The bizarre response to the leak only deepens the mystery as to why he still refuses.

To be sure, the new information tends to refute a widely held theory: that Trump is loath to reveal how little tax he actually pays. In 2005, at least, he paid $38 million, or about a quarter of his taxable income, to the Internal Revenue Service. That’s a higher share than his predecessor atop the GOP ticket, Mitt Romney, reported. No scandal there, although it’s worth noting that this relatively high rate was almost entirely because of the alternative minimum tax, a device for canceling out tax avoidance by the rich that Trump has proposed eliminating. Keep that in mind when evaluating the White House’s promise that Trump is focused not on his past returns but on “tax reform that will benefit all Americans.”

Unless and until Trump releases his returns, including all supporting materials, we are entitled to assume that he has something to hide, whether it’s embarrassingly chintzy charitable contributions, chronic exaggerations of his wealth, business ties to Russia – or some combination of the three. Even tax returns would not constitute sufficient disclosure for a man whose business affairs stretch across states and around the world, as Trump’s do. The public is entitled to a detailed explanation of all that, as well. It’s true that, shortly before Inauguration Day, Trump pledged to separate himself from his business empire, which was a step in the right direction. But he did so without specifying the extent of his exposure before he signed away operations to his sons.

We have no idea of the status quo before Trump’s claimed recusal.

For the first time in recent history, the presidency belongs to a man with extensive active business investments, creating the potential for conflicts of interest on a correspondingly unprecedented scale.

Trump’s response demonstrates ethical cluelessness at best and contempt for this country’s long-standing democratic norms at worst.

Tax Day is April 18. Trump has an opportunity to mark the occasion by releasing his Form 1040 for 2016, just as his predecessors made their income tax returns public while serving. If he wants to engender public trust in his leadership, he’ll seize that chance.

Migration into Canada ramps up It’s happening. But not the way people thought it would.

In recent weeks, people began streaming from the United States into Canada. But they’re not disappointed Democrats, disgruntled Californians or, for that matter, anyone who might have voted for Hillary Clinton.

The majority of the estimated 3,800 individuals illegally stealing across the world’s longest unprotected border into Canada since Feb. 3 are anxious refugees and undocumented immigrants fearing detention or deportation and seeking asylum.

According to London’s Daily Mail, most of those slipping across America’s northern border this winter are carrying passports from Syria, Somalia, Burundi, Eritrea, Ghana and Sudan, Turkey, Columbia or Mexico. Many obtain tourist visas to the United States then jump into airport taxis and deliver themselves to Canadian border checkpoints where they ask for asylum.

Others, laden with luggage still bearing airline tags, walk across fields, wade through ditches and push baby strollers in deep snow from Quebec to Manitoba to elude Canadian border patrols.

When seeking office, then-candidate Donald Trump promised to deport or incarcerate 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants with criminal records living in the United States. The surge of asylum seekers has grown since now-President Trump issued his ban temporarily barring travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. They are now flowing into Canada.

Since Jan. 1, according to the RCMP in Manitoba, located to the north of North Dakota, almost 200 asylum seekers have braved freezing temperatures and sometimes waist-deep snow to cross the border into Emerson, Manitoba – population 689. An estimated 1,200 have illegally entered Quebec since November, according to the Canada Border Services Agency.

Although border patrol union officials are calling for 1,000 more workers and conservatives in Parliament are calling for a refugee strategy and housing and support service resources are being stressed in rural areas where the crossings are happening.

Canada adheres to the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement of 2004. In this, any one in the U.S., which is considered a

safe country, cannot request to be admitted into Canada as a refugee.

However, refugee status may be requested once the individual is on Canadian soil. Generally 60 percent are accepted.

Border patrols at official border crossings are turning back those who have already made refugee claims in the United States – prompting the increase in illegal entries.

An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. may now fear for their future.

Canada, which has vast, unpopulated spaces and dwindling family sizes, may be looking to a wave of immigrants to fill their nation. But Canada also has not experienced its own 9/11 attack by irrational militants determined to destroy America.

The Nation to the North is free to open its borders to anyone it wants. But to avoid its own Trumplike backlash somewhere down the road, Canada should heed the warnings of their own government officials who are calling for a strategy to cope with these unexpected visitors, as well as the call of the Canadian border patrol to have more workers.

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.

Judges Alex Kozinski, Consuelo M. Callahan, Carlos T. Bea and Sandra S. Ikuta, wrote an unusual aside, saying he wished “to comment on the public discourse that has surrounded these proceedings.” He went on: “Even as I dissent from our decision not to vacate the panel’s flawed opinion, I have the greatest respect for my colleagues. The personal attacks on the distinguished district judge and our colleagues were out of bounds of civic and persuasive discourse – particularly when they came from the parties.

“It does no credit to the arguments of the parties to impugn the motives or the competence of the members of this court; ad hominem attacks are not a substitute for effective advocacy. Such personal attacks treat the court as though it were merely a political forum in which bargaining, compromise and even intimidation are acceptable principles. The courts of law must be more than that, or we are not governed by law at all.”

Coming from Bybee, the statement

had particular significance. He was head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice under President George W. Bush and signed the so-called “Torture Memos” in 2002 permitting “enhanced interrogation” techniques on detainees.

Another 9th Circuit judge, this one concurring with the majority’s refusal to rehear the case, appeared to be referencing Trump as well.

“I am proud to be a part of this court and a judicial system that is independent and courageous,” wrote Judge Stephen Reinhardt, “and that vigorously protects the constitutional rights of all, regardless of the source of any efforts to weaken or diminish them.”

The 9th circuit’s action came on the same day a federal judge in Hawaii blocked Trump’s second travel order.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Support ‘4 for Change’

To the Editor: This April, we have a chance to overhaul the D-155 board with the “4 for Change” slate. If elected, John Pletz, Donna Kurtz, Raphael Kamner and Scott Vetter will bring a responsible majority to the seven-member D-155 board.

Let’s rid ourselves of incumbents who are out of touch with residents. Incumbents who approved the behemoth Crystal Lake South bleachers, then spent additional tax dollars on lawyers trying to protect their multimillion dollar mistake.

Board of trustees are supposed to be stewards of our tax dollars, not insiders elected to protect spending, salaries and benefits.

Pletz, Kurtz, Kramner and Vetter want to cut D-155 taxes while improving schools.

Vote for the four candidates at the bottom of the D-155 ballot. Vote Pletz, Kurtz, Kamner and Vetter on April 4.

Wrong on McHenry Township

To the Editor: This letter is in response to Mr. Mayer’s recent letter criticizing the independent candidates for McHenry Township.

Apparently, Mr. Mayer is unaware of the antics the pretend McHenry Township Republican Party has been up to. That’s

right, the caucus with committeemen weighted votes with the sole purpose of taking away the vote of the average Republican voter.

Then, the objections by pretend Republican candidates against all other candidates both Democratic and independent for township positions. This is costing the township more than $15,000 in legal fees. Then, to have them withdraw the objections once they realized they couldn’t force their will on the voters.

These actions speak very loudly. “The Magnificent Seven” pretend Republicans are afraid to let the voters decide who should be elected to the township positions. Simple soluton – vote independent this time.

Five judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit implicitly took President Donald Trump to task for his disparaging comments on judges and the judiciary.

The response, the strongest-todate from sitting judges, came in a dissenting opinion Wednesday in which the five actually agreed with Trump on the legal issues surrounding his executive order on travel to the United States. Indeed, they were dissenting from the refusal of the full circuit to rehear an earlier panel decision that went against Trump.

Judge Jay Bybee, joined by four members of the court, did not mention Trump by name.

But the opinion decried “the personal attacks” by parties to the case on judges who blocked the president’s first executive order, including U.S. District Court Judge James L. Robart in Seattle and the three appellate judges who upheld Robart.

Trump is the only party to the case who has leveled such personal attacks, most notably when he referred to Robart as “the so-called judge,” suggested that Robart was putting the country in “peril,” and tweeted that the appeals court panel’s ruling upholding Robart was “a disgraceful decision!”

Even while the panel was weighing that ruling, he gave a speech that appeared to be an unsubtle effort to influence it.

“If these judges wanted to help the court in terms of respect for the court, they’d do what they should be doing. It’s so sad . . . I don’t ever want to call a court biased, so I won’t call it biased,” he said. “But courts seem to be so political.”

The five appeals court judges wrote that they believed the court should have deferred to the administration on the executive order, citing Supreme Court precedents on immigration and national security.

But then, at the end of the 29-page dissenting opinion, Bybee, joined by

Culture camp

Summer’s a great time for kids to dive into a foreign language

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press

For a lot of kids, summer is a time to travel intellectually as well as literally, to dive headlong into new languages and cultures in a way that classroom learning alone doesn’t allow.

For instance, every summer around 4,500 kids between the ages of 7 and 18 travel to one of dozens of “language villages” nestled in the north woods of Minnesota and run by Concordia College. The camps, which also include typical summer-camp activities like swimming and crafts, offer serious cultural and linguistic immersion in 16 different languages.

There is belly dancing and Middle Eastern food at Arabic language camp, for example, or traditional calligraphy, taiko drumming, karate and Japanese meals in Japanese camp.

“Having a foreign language and cultural skills in your background is vitally important. Sometimes it’s a matter of heritage or ethnic background, or sometimes it’s about community demographic. Or it’s just what a child seems to be passionate about,” said Christine Schulze, executive director of the program, based in Moorhead, Minnesota. “Korean pop culture, for example, seems to be a big driver of interest in Korean language and cultural studies.”

For younger kids, the camps run one or two weeks, while those for high schoolers are four weeks.

The longer high-school-level camps are designed (and accredited) to cover an entire year of high school language learning, Schulze said, and unlike a summer overseas, the camps offer the security and ease of remaining in the United States. Kids also can try out several of the “country” villages to find the best fit.

“Children come in with the full range of language abilities, with some starting at the very beginning and others quite advanced and ready to push their skills even further,” she said. “Sometimes children do a summer at a village as preparation for a program abroad the following year.”

Participants are “living the language” at the Chinese Language Village by learning a traditional fan dance in Callaway, Minn.

The programs cost roughly $1,000 a week, with about 20 percent of the children receiving some level of financial assistance.

Middlebury College, in Vermont, also offers summer language programs for eighth to 12th graders, as do some other colleges and universities.

For older kids, the Washington, D.C.-based Youth for Understanding offers high school study-abroad summer programs in dozens of countries.

They include group travel for language teachers and their classes, and more traditional, individual homestay programs, said Heather Deno, sales director for the organization.

Youth for Understanding was started after World War II to foster peace, and is also known for high school programs lasting a semester to a year, and gap-year programs

between high school and college.

In its summer programs in India, Ecuador, Paraguay, South Africa and Thailand, kids stay with a host family and do community-oriented volunteer work.

“Our organization started in the 1950s with the idea that it’s hard to hate or generalize about a culture once you know people personally,” Deno said.

The summer programs run four to eight weeks and cost between $5,500 and $9,000 depending on airfare; many students receive financial aid. “We give out $2 million a year in scholarships. Many Japanese companies, in particular, offer full or partial scholarships to Japan,” she said.

Of course, you don’t have to leave home to get summer language study.

Many bilingual and language schools

across the U.S. offer their own immersive day camps.

The French American School of New York, in Larchmont, offers summer camps for kids, as does the German International School in Portland, Oregon, among many others.

Prices vary widely depending on the school and region.

To find such a program, begin with a quick online search of local bilingual, dual immersion or international schools.

For sleepaway camps, Schulze recommends checking that the program is affiliated with the American Camp Association, which sets general and safety guidelines.

And for overseas programs, Deno, at Youth For Understanding, said programs should be certified by CIEST (the Council on Standards for International Education Travel).

give our pat answer, Tree said “definitely.” I did my best not to squeal aloud while he explained that, while we were bummed about it, we’d have to hurry through the rest of South America. We’d already been traveling over a year; the clock was ticking.

“But why do you have to go home?

Babies are born all over the world,” our friend asked.

Later, lying in bed, I asked Tree if he was really sure. “Yes. It’ll be the greatest adventure of my life, and I get to share it with you,” he said. That night, we both decided to take the leap.

A year later, we found ourselves still living in our van, by then in Peru, with a newborn baby girl in our arms. We named her Soleil, which means “sun” in French. Soon after, we bolted a car seat to the floor of the Sprinter and continued our journey through Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil for another two years.

As the countries accrued, however, every inch of space in the van filled with toddler gear – a travel crib, books, dozens of outfits and tiny single socks (their matches strewn across Latin America). Finally, we had to admit we’d outgrown our home. Long driving days and constantly moving also became a struggle. Our lifestyle wasn’t working

anymore. So we changed it.

Now, we slow-travel – meaning we stay put for a while, enmeshing ourselves in the community. Our belongings fit in a minivan, but we stay in small, furnished apartments for months at a time, road-tripping and hostel-hopping between longer-term destinations.

For example, last November we became legal residents of Spain, and our daughter attends a local preschool. Our life is replete with pediatrician appointments, play-dates and birthday parties.

In May, however, we’ll hit the road, and I’ll go back to home schooling Soleil. Our good friend, whom we met in Argentina, will join us as we travel through Morocco, Portugal and France, where we’ll stay in hostels and meet up with other nomadic families. Then we’ll spend six weeks in the States visiting relatives before heading back to Spain in September.

Sure, we have new things to consider: Is the destination kid-friendly?

Did we pack a blanket for nap time?

But nothing is more rewarding than living our passion, together. Will we do this forever? Who knows, but as our daughter continues to grow, and Tree and I get older, our lifestyle will surely adapt again – and it will be a whole new family adventure.

We held tightly to each other, crying as we said goodbye. It had been a passionate three years, but we’d reached an impasse: I wanted a child, and he didn’t.

Our friends assured us we’d made the right decision.

“What a Peter Pan. 35 years old and just wants to play. Grow up or get out,” mine quipped.

“Dude, you live for adventure.

You’re not the white picket fence type.

If you stayed, you’d have resented her,” his reasoned.

Six months later, I doubted our decision to break up. I was 33, and Tree was the only boyfriend with whom I’d ever envisioned a future. Who knew if I’d connect with another person, and if I did, would I be too old to have kids?

Even worse, I realized a large part of my desire to have a child was tied to the passion I felt specifically for him.

I’d made a huge mistake.

The phone rang. Climbing in Yosemite, surfing in Costa Rica – they’d lost their zeal without me, he said. He made a big mistake, too.

We hadn’t resolved our dealbreaker.

But through the agony of still being in love and broken-up, we’d each become

less sure about “the kid thing” and very sure of our need to be together. Since we had no clue how to compromise – you either have a baby or don’t – we decided not to talk about the future. Instead, we busied ourselves with wine picnics and makeup sex.

Then the Great Recession arrived. I lost my job as a sales consultant in Los Angeles, and Tree, who owned an online adventure store, was facing a serious cash crunch. We couldn’t afford rent, let alone a baby. Given our grim finances, Tree suggested we do something very different. “Let’s take a long road trip,” he said. “To the tip of South America.

We’ll drive the Pan-American Highway for one year to the end of the world!”

“How will we afford that?” I asked.

“We’ll live in the van. It has everything – a kitchen, a bed. It’ll be like camping. But intense.”

As cramped and foolhardy as the idea sounded, I agreed to go, reasoning this could be our last hurrah before settling down. Two weeks later, we moved into his converted Sprinter to start #vanlife, years before the hashtag existed.

One night, as we were sitting around the campfire with a fellow traveler, the conversation turned to children: Were we going to have any? Before I could

Hair loss caused by many issues Dear Doctor: I’ve been taking thyroid medication for several years, and my doctor says my blood tests are where they should be, but my face feels like sandpaper, my nails are brittle, and I’m losing so much hair that I can see my scalp. Could there be some underlying problem my physician is missing?

Dear Reader: Hair loss can be a distressing symptom, made all the more so when its cause is a mystery.

Your thyroid hormone levels are an obvious place to start, because both low and high thyroid levels can lead to hair and nail changes. Symptoms of high thyroid levels include hair loss, skin that is unusually smooth and warm, and nails that soften and loosen from the nail bed. The remaining hair becomes thinner, softer and does not hold a wave.

Symptoms of low thyroid levels also include hair loss, including in the armpits and genital area, but the hair in this scenario is dull, coarse and fragile. As for the nails, they tend to be delicate, thin and have multiple grooves. That said, if your physician has done a complete panel of thyroid tests and the results have been normal, then most likely the function of your thyroid gland is not the cause of the brittle nails nor the hair loss.

That doesn’t mean the thyroid isn’t a factor. Autoimmune thyroid disease can lead to hair loss, both patchy and more diffuse, as well as inflammatory conditions of the skin. Such disease isn’t always reflected in thyroid hormone levels. Checking anti-thyroid antibodies in the blood can identify autoimmune thyroid disease, and point you and your doctor in a clearer direction.

Hair loss also can be caused by androgenic alopecia, linked to an excess of androgens, a type of male hormone. These hormones are present in both men and women, but they’re higher than normal in

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley some women, such as those with congenital adrenal hyperplasia or polycystic ovarian disease, which is relatively common. Simply checking levels of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can either rule out androgenic alopecia or suggest that it be explored further.

Another potential cause is medication.

Some medications can lead to hair loss, so if your symptoms seem coincidental to starting a new medication, there might be an association.

Biotin deficiency, which is rare, can also cause hair loss and inflammation of the facial skin. But if you have a normal diet and eat eggs, you have a low likelihood of this condition. Nonetheless, it’s something to rule out.

Iron deficiency also can lead to both brittle nails and hair loss. This doesn’t explain the skin manifestations that you have, but if you are looking at other possibilities, checking the iron level of the blood should be part of the workup.

Any major illness can lead to hair loss and nail changes, and psychological stress can lead to hair loss. So, if there have been major stressors in your life, either physical or psychological, consider that a potential culprit.

In summary, if your thyroid levels are normal, it would be wise to check your thyroid antibodies, androgens and iron levels – and your level of stress.

someone would be at the point you are becoming intimate enough that he would be running his hands through your hair.

Dear Abby: My mother married my father in 1960 when she was barely 16. She was the mother of two children before age 18. My father was older, controlling, abusive and unkind to her.

She wrote to your mother for advice in the 1960s, saying he still carried a photo of his old girlfriend in his wallet and how much it hurt her. Your mother’s advice to her was to “grow up.” In light of how the times have changed, I am wondering what your advice to her would be in 2017? Both parents are now deceased. –

I’m a 57-yearold lady. I have been a widow 23 years and chose not to date while raising my daughter, who is now 26. I would now like to meet a nice man to spend time with, but I suffer from an affliction many older women deal with – alopecia. My hair is very thin, but with wigs and makeup, I look attractive enough.

I’m afraid I’m being deceptive when I meet a man like that. When is the right time to tell a man what he sees is not what he gets? – Em-

let frustration turn into anger. A calm and charming approach will seal the deal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An unusual opportunity will arise. Don’t miss out on something exciting just because someone is being demanding and taking up your time. Stay focused on getting ahead instead of helping others advance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Sit back and listen. The undertone in someone’s voice will tell you volumes about what to expect. Stay on top of any dealings that affect your assets, possessions or physical well-being.

Find the help you need A.J. Liebling, a journalist who died in 1963, said, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”

Bridge players like guaranteed lines of play or defense. On every deal, both sides are trying to find one or the other. In today’s, can South guarantee his contract of six hearts after West leads a fourth-highest spade three?

When South opens one heart, North’s hand greatly increases in value. It contains four short-suit points (one in spades and three in diamonds) and has only five losers because you deduct one loser for a 10-card or better fit. South then uses his preferred form of Blackwood before stopping in six hearts.

West chose to lead a spade in preference to the diamond queen because he knew about dummy’s short suit. Here, West did well not to lead a club.

Declarer has a potential loser in each rounded suit. Taking the trump suit in isolation, the percentage play for no losers is to cash the ace. But that is wrong with these hands. The right line is to take both spade tricks and the diamond ace before ruffing the diamond seven on the board.

Then South should call for the heart queen (to encourage East to cover with the king) and, assuming East plays low smoothly, to run the queen.

Here, the finesse wins and declarer is playing for an overtrick. But suppose West could scoop up the trick with the singleton heart king. He would be endplayed, forced either to lead into South’s club tenace or to concede a ruff-and-sluff. Whichever he chooses, declarer will lose no club trick.

2 GIRLS SOCCER: SEASON PREVIEW

Starting over after state berths Marian was 2nd in 1A, Huntley was 4th in 3A

Girls soccer: 5 to watch

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Two local girls soccer programs found themselves playing on the final days of the 2016 season, as Marian Central reached the Class 1A state final and a week later Huntley played in the Class 3A third-place match.

They begin the 2017 season in very different places, as Marian Central brings back 14 players and Huntley looks to replace the area’s best.

“It’s a lot of the same team, but there seems to be some new pieces to figure out,” Marian coach Karl Smith said.

“They’re saying all the right things.

We talk about last year being history, and we’ve got to look forward. We have nothing to celebrate. It’s another season, and we feel like we can be a better team than last year, but a lot plays into that.”

While Marian Central is trying to put the past away, Huntley coach Kris Grabner is trying to move forward by coping with some humor.

“We got an exemption from the state.

They’re all coming back and playing again this year,” Grabner said deadpan.

“Taryn (Jakubowski) had a great season at Creighton. We figure she can help us out here a little bit.”

The Red Raiders lost 12 seniors, including Jakubowski, the 2016 Northwest Herald Player of the Year, first-team Northwest Herald All-Area goalkeeper Paige Renkosik and second-team All-Area midfielders Brianna Wilder and Alyssa Kaufman.

“When you lose a group like that, have the year we had last year, it’s almost a restart,” Grabner said. “While it’s always sad to lose players like that, and there were a number of them that we lost, (they were) just great teammates. At the same time it’s kind of nice to have that restart, and I feel like in a way even though we have some quality seniors and juniors coming back, we’ve got some young kids that we’re training to do what we want to do.”

Huntley, the area’s most consistent program, reached new heights in 2016, finally breaking through to get to the state semifinals for the first time. The Red Raiders have won 10 consecutive regional titles but now have to rebuild around some experience at the defen-

Marian Central’s Lucca Kenyon (center) heads the ball during the second half of Thursday’s match against Johnsburg at Canlan Sportsplex in Lake Barrington. Marian won, 4-1. sive end and figure out where the goals will come from.

“I think we take a realistic look at it, and at the same time, if you set realistic goals all the time, you don’t always go anywhere,” Grabner said. “We know we’re young, but we have some really nice components that, as we put them together into a team, we think that we can be extremely competitive.”

To have a shot at returning to state, Huntley will have to get by Crystal Lake South, which Grabner called the “heavy, heavy favorite.”

Although Huntley went the furthest in the postseason, it was South that won its half of the Fox Valley Conference during the 2016 regular season. The Gators bring back 13 players and almost every important piece from a team that didn’t lose a conference game last year and narrowly lost to Huntley in the sectional finals.

The Gators return their entire defense and goalkeeper, and although four of five midfielders graduated, the one returner is Jessica Schoenfeldt, who works both directions and contributed 13 goals and seven assists last year. Up top, they also bring back leading scorer Courtney Sengstock, who netted 15 goals and added nine assists a season ago.

Prairie Ridge won the other side of FVC last year and, along with CaryGrove, should be a top contender with Huntley and South for the FVC title.

For Marian Central, the Hurricanes return most of the team that took it to the program’s second runner-up finish.

The Hurricanes’ challenge, however, comes in a move up to Class 2A. After competing in the tough East Suburban Catholic Conference throughout the regular season, Marian made short work of many of the teams it faced in the Class 1A playoffs last year. A 3-2 regional final win against Johnsburg was the toughest postseason game the Hurricanes played before its 2-1 loss to Wheaton Academy in the state final.

Overall, Marian outscored 1A playoff opponents, 31-7.

Smith said they welcome the move up as a good challenge and that a tough regular season always has been part of the postseason preparation.

“I always feel like we’re pretty well prepared once we’re in there. ... It’s always going to be a jump,” Smith said.

“I feel like we’ll be able to compete with anybody, but somebody’s going to have to play well to beat us.”

The senior forward duo of Erika Dacanay (14 goals and 12 assists last year) and Karlie Blaz (13 goals last year) will drive the Hurricanes’ offense, while junior Alyssa Sutherland leads the center of the defense.

“I think we’re definitely fired up, and we’re excited, and especially since this is our last year as seniors, we want to do the best we can and just keep it going,” Dacanay said.

Samantha Heustis Huntley, sr., D Heustis was a second-team Northwest Herald All-Area pick last year after helping anchor the Red Raiders’ defense.

She will be even more important organizing at the back as Huntley will be young overall.

Erika Dacanay Marian Central, sr., F The speedy Dacanay was a handful for opposing defenses last year as the Hurricanes advanced to the Class 1A state championship game. She scored 14 goals and added 12 assists as a junior.

Jenna Ross Crystal Lake South, sr., M Ross is part of a Gators defense that brings back its entire backline and goalkeeper. She also was the country’s most dangerous attacking outside back, leading the Gators with 13 assists and scoring three goals of her own.

Emma Dorn Woodstock, so., F Dorn had an explosive freshman season, scoring 20 goals and assisting on 10 more. She will drive the Blue Streaks as they look to compete in the first year of Kishwaukee River Conference play.

Makena Silber Prairie Ridge, jr., F Silber enrolled at Prairie Ridge this year after her family moved to Crystal Lake from Pennsylvania, and she will bolster an already strong Wolves team. The junior forward is committed to play at the University of Illinois.

The Johnsburg team that was eliminated by Marian also brings back most of its core. The Skyhawks, along with rival Richmond-Burton and Woodstock, are expected to be the main challengers for the first Kishwaukee River Conference title.

Girls soccer: Season preview team capsules FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE

Hampshire Coach: Colin Brice (first season) Last year: 4-16 overall; lost in regional semifinals Top returners: Meghan McIntyre, sr., M; Alyssa Dimaano, so., M; Alana Hatanaka, so., M; Darcy Dalby, sr., M Key newcomers: Mattea Huerta, jr., M; Veronica Walker, fr., D; Alessa Carranza, fr., F Noteworthy: Brice thinks the Whip-Purs have a good blend of returners and “impactful new talent.”

“This will give us an opportunity to finally start competing with the top Fox Valley Conference teams,” he said.

sectional semifinals Top returners: Gabby Ross, sr., M; Camryn Davis, sr., M; Breanne Retherford, sr., M; Anna Blaney, sr., F; Rachel Barrett, sr., M; Rachel Daye, sr., M; Angelica Mrugala, sr., F; Sarah Kitterman, jr., D; Taylor Webb, jr., D; Lindsy Restis, jr., GK Key newcomer: Charlotte Holas, so., D Noteworthy: The Rockets will be an experienced group with seven returning seniors but will need to figure out how to replace the 18 goals and 12 assists provided by last year’s captain, Halley Havlicek. “The girls have had a nice preseason and are focused on getting better each day at practice,” DeCaluwe said. “The main goal for this team is to improve every game and peak as a team during the 1A state tournament.”

KISHWAUKEE RIVER CONFERENCE

Woodstock Coach: Michael Golda (Seventh season) Last year: 10-8-1; lost in regional semifinals Top returners: Taylor Adams, sr.; Mollie Thill, sr.; Emily Furlano, sr.; Autumn Overly, jr.; Camryn Tafoya, jr.; Mollie Griffin, jr.; Emma Dorn, so.; Anna Rowan, so.; Maddie Harrah, so.; Julia Walsdorf, so.; Amanda Sincere, so.; Chantal Reynoso, so.

Key newcomers: Meghan McGrath, jr., GK; Jenny Arrellano, jr.; Grace Maidment, so.; Korrin Mecklenburg, so.; Alexa Norgard, so.; Cameron Wormley, fr.; Maddy Hughes, fr.

Noteworthy: The Blue Streaks were hot and cold last season but hope to be contenders in the first season of KRC play with 12 returners, eight or nine of whom started at some point. Woodstock is an experienced group, but leading the way offensively will be Dorn, who was on the Northwest Herald All-Area first team last year with 20 goals and 10 assists.

Also key to the Streaks’ offense will be Overly, who scored 12 goals and assisted on six last year, earning all-conference honors.

Harvard Coach: Victor Gonzalez (second season) Last year: 1-18 overall; lost in regional semifinal Top returners: Liz Sanchez, sr., M; Sam Perales, jr., GK Key newcomer: Ximena Duran, so., F Noteworthy: Despite the record last year, Gonzalez said he’s “optimistic about the season. We were real young last year, but the younger girls made strides toward the end of the year. This year is no different. We only have one four-year senior. If we can continue to improve and the younger girls can contribute consistently, it will be a successful season.”

Johnsburg Coach: Rob Eastland (Fifth season) Last year: 14-5-2 overall; lost in regional final Top returners: Shae Giovanni, sr.; Madeline Hauck, sr.; Amber Humphres, jr.; Megan Jurek, jr; Madelyn Peterson, sr.; Taylor Piggott, sr.; Alivia Siudak, sr.; Cortland Sommerfeldt, sr.; Jessica Strzelczyk, sr.; Lauren Winter, sr.

Key newcomers: Hannah Anderson, fr.; Alexis Connerty, fr.; Lauren Hendrixson, fr.; Kaitlyn Owen, fr.

Noteworthy: A talented Skyhawks team had the misfortune of running into state finalist Marian Central last year in a Class 1A regional final, losing a wild match, 3-2. This year, Eastland said, “We return some really key players but are battling a number of injuries or nursing players back to fitness. We should be competitive if we stay healthy. We are expecting our junior class to have a lot more influence on the field this season assisting the seniors.”

Marengo Coach: Jeremy Burke (second season) Last year: 4-13 overall; lost in regional final Top returners: Kaitlin Shepard, sr.; Amanda Jaeger, sr.; Brittany Cass, sr.; Madison Shines, so.; Olivia Ray, jr.; Erin Haeflinger, so.; Morgan Shines, so.

Key newcomers: Megan Burns, sr., M; Jordan Corner, sr., GK Noteworthy: The Indians advanced to a regional final last year, coming up just short of the program’s second regional title. “We are hoping to build on last year’s success of playing for a regional title,” Burke said. “This year we are hoping to win a regional and looking to beat our win total from last year. Our team goal is to be playing our best soccer at the end of the year and continue to get better each day in practice and in each game. ... We are hoping that Year 2 brings continued growth and development for each individual and the soccer program. The girls are really buying in and can’t wait to see how this season plays out.”

Richmond-Burton Coach: Casey DeCaluwe (third season) Last year: 13-9 overall; regional champion; lost in

Woodstock North Coach: Patrick Podgorski (first season) Last year: 2-17 overall; lost in regional first round Top returners: Taylor Prerost, so.; Natalie Dominguez, sr.; Lauren Kunke, so.; Daniela Miranda, sr.

Key newcomers: Abigail Svitak, fr.; Bianca Cruz, fr.; Dulce Olivar-Lopez, fr.; Shea Jones, fr.; Cassidy Oteman, fr.

Noteworthy: Podgorski takes the coaching reins in the interim while head coach of the past five seasons Lauren Farley is away on maternity leave. The Thunder hope to be more competitive in conference play with the move from the FVC to the KRC. Podgorski said they are excited about the five freshmen, who he expects to contribute heavily right away and add depth to the program.

EAST SUBURBAN CATHOLIC CONFERENCE Marian Central Coach: Karl Smith (fifth season) Last year: 14-6-2 overall; regional champion; sectional champion; supersectional champion; state runner-up Top returners: Erika Dacanay, sr.,F; Karlie Blaz, sr., F; Alyssa Sutherland, jr., D; Addison Fortin, jr., M. Key newcomer: Mackenzie Schwalbach, so., GK Noteworthy: The Hurricanes bring back 14 players from a team that went to overtime in the Class 1A state final last year. Marian Central is led up top

by Dacanay (14 goals and 12 assists last year) and Karlie Blaz (13 goals last year), while Sutherland anchors the defense. The Hurricanes move up to Class 2A, which Smith called a “welcome change,” noting that a tough ESCC again will prepare them for the postseason.

HUNTLEY BOYS VOLLEYBALL

Welcome to the big time

After 1 season as club, team part of IHSA

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When Huntley’s Jacob Przydzial lets his classmates know that the school is looking to add players to the Red Raiders’ boys volleyball team, their reaction almost always is the same.

“They kind of look at me strange, and say, ‘Wait, what? The school has a (boys) volleyball team?’ ” said Przydzial, whose dad played volleyball and introduced him to the sport.

“I’m like, ‘Well, it’s not a full team yet, but it’s getting there.’ ” Przydzial never had played volleyball before, but his interest peaked in 2015 after attending an FIVB World League match between the USA and Poland at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.

“It was intense,” he said. “It kind of hyped me up.”

More than a year ago, with the help and direction of former girls assistant coach Gerry Marchand and head coach Karen Naymola, Przydzial searched the hallways for potential players. He gathered 25 to 30 signatures and proposed the idea to activities director Chris Duncan.

The club was approved by District 158, and Huntley competed in select tournaments last spring. This year, the Raiders will compete as a fullfledged IHSA sport after applying in the fall.

The Raiders are the only team in the Fox Valley Conference with a boys volleyball team. There are 218 high school boys volleyball teams in the state, according to IHSA.org – up from 203 in 2016.

More than 80 boys expressed interest in joining a year ago, but some were turned off because it wasn’t an official IHSA team yet, Marchand said. They practiced two times a week – usually late at night – when the weather was nice and other teams weren’t using indoor space and facilities.

“The nicer it is outside, the easier it is for us to get gym space,” Marchand said. “We’ve kind of got to wait

be able to practice more than twice a week this year. The first couple of practices are used to teach fundamentals, court positioning and rules to newcomers.

“The first day (of practice) is just hitting balls around and seeing what happens,” said Marchand, who played on Northern Illinois University’s club volleyball team in college.

“You can’t make practice plans; you’ve just got to see what they can do and go by the minute. It makes it harder because you don’t really know what to expect or who is even going to show up.”

Marchand went in with high expectations last year but said he had to lower the bar early on. By the end of the season, however, the team was about where he had hoped it would be.

“I guess it would be like coaching a middle school team,” Marchand said.

“They are so raw, but they are much more athletic.”

Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig and Marengo’s Mike Volkening were named to The Associated Press All-State second teams in their respective classes Thursday.

Krutwig, a 6-foot-9 center, was picked to the second team in Class 4A, Volkening, a 6-3 guard, was named to the second team in Class 3A. Both players led their teams to supersectional appearances Tuesday. Jacobs lost to Fremd, 36-35, in overtime; Marengo lost to Bloomington, 69-46.

Two other area players, Richmond-Burton’s Blaine Bayer and Johnsburg’s Zach Toussaint, received honorable mention in Class 3A. Krutwig averaged 15.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.5 blocked shots and 2.5 assists for the 30-2 Golden Eagles, who won their first sectional title in school history.

Northwestern’s Scottie Lindsey celebrates after the Wildcats defeated Vanderbilt, 68-66, in a first-round game of the NCAA tournament Thursday in Salt Lake City.

Tulsa, Okla.

SALT LAKE CITY – See, that’s how you do it. When you’re the last school from a major conference to play a game in the NCAA tournament, you squeeze everything you can out of it. The good. The bad. The exhilarating. The terrifying.

Even an ending that’ll live on with the wildest, craziest March Madness has seen.

Northwestern did all that Thursday against Vanderbilt – did all that and actually won.

If the Wildcats’ 68-66 victory proves to be their “one shining moment” in this year’s tournament, so be it. If the train reaches its final destination – the end of the Purple Line, call it – Saturday against West No. 1 seed Gonzaga, at least it already was a heck of a two-hour ride.

“Obviously, your stomach is churning,” coach Chris Collins said, “because you want it so badly.”

For quite a while at Vivant Smart Home Arena, otherwise known as Welsh-Ryan West, it didn’t seem like moving on to the next round was going to be so excruciatingly difficult.

After all this time, after years, decades – generations? – of playing catch-up to the rest of the college basketball world, Northwestern almost never trailed against the Commodores.

The Wildcats jumped out to a 14-5 lead. After Vandy 7-footer Luke Kornet converted an andone to make it a 25-24 game, a five-years-in-themaking post-up by Sanjay Lumpkin, a left-wing 3-pointer by Bryant McIntosh and a steal-andscore from Scottie Lindsey helped the Wildcats to a seven-point halftime lead.

In the stands, the school’s famous alumni exulted. The not-famous alumni, too. Courtside, stars from NU’s Medill School of Journalism tried to keep their professional cool. Some of them even succeeded.

Seven minutes into the second half, the Wildcats found themselves ahead by 15. If minds began to drift toward a matchup with the Zags during the ensuing timeout, it was only because it looked so completely like the game was in the bag.

“It felt like we were just ready to keep piling on them,” Lindsey said.

Yet this was the NCAA tournament, and this was Northwestern – and that meant all the old doubts were bound to descend on the purple-clad masses eventually.

Cut the 12-0 Vandy run that made it a threepoint game, and the explosive shooting by Matthew Fisher-Davis that answered Wildcats baskets time and again. The Commodores took their first lead with 1:36 to go on a 3-pointer from Riley LaChance, an undersized, modestly skilled Wisconsin kid who didn’t get a scholarship offer from the Big Ten Badgers or even from Marquette.

Continued from page 8 When LaChance scored again for a one-point lead with 18 seconds to play, it appeared Northwestern was going to get bounced from the tourney by the sort of player who used to find a home on its roster.

“But we found a way to win,” McIntosh said. “And we live to fight another day.”

The decisive play that followed was so strange, and so shocking, that it could only have unfolded on the March Madness stage. As McIntosh raced up the court with the inbounds pass – again, his team trailing – Fisher-Davis fouled him. On purpose.

The poor kid thought it was his team that was down one. He’ll live

Amir Coffey had 17 points to lead Minnesota (24-10), while Dupree McBrayer added 16.

Xavier 76, Maryland 65: At Orlando, Florida, Trevon Bluiett scored 21 points and Sean O’Mara had 18 to help No. 11 seed Xavier upset sixth-seeded Maryland.

The Musketeers move on in the West Region, marking the third straight year they have advanced to the second round. Maryland, which has started three freshmen for much the season, lost in the first round for the first time since 1997.

After a slow start, Bluiett came through with 18 second-half points to help the Musketeers rally from an early six-point deficit. Bluiett converted seven field goals, including five 3-pointers to energize Xavier.

Freshman Kevin Huerter led the Terps with 19 points, while star guard with the mistake forever.

“You feel for players,” Collins said.

“Especially after the kind of game he had. He was tremendous today. And certainly I was surprised because we were trying to set it up for Bryant to attack the basket. When they grabbed him in the backcourt and I knew we were in the penalty, I felt better, especially knowing who I had going to the line – our guy.”

McIntosh, the junior point guard who’d spoken only a day earlier about wanting the ball in his hands with March games on the line, calmly sank both free throws for the last of his game-high 25 points.

On a day when junior Vic Law – the recruit who really started this all for Collins and his program – couldn’t figure things out, McIntosh picked him up throughout. As Law stumbled

through the first half, Lindsey helped keep the train moving. As Law, who finished with a mere two points, failed to make any offensive impact down the stretch, big man Dererk Pardon calmly sank his last six free throws.

To Law, it was affirmation that he’d gone to the right school. Seated at his locker afterward, he shook his head and marveled about his teammates.

“I didn’t play well,” he said, “but this is why we’re a team. And now I have a chance in the next game to return the favor. I’m thankful for that.”

It’s not over yet. How about that?

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OTTAWA, Ontario – Blackhawks goaltender Scott Darling and Ottawa goalie Mike Condon had to put their friendship on hold Thursday night.

Darling made 33 saves, and Richard Panik scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period to lift the Hawks over Condon and the Senators, 2-1.

Panik beat Condon on the power play at 16:59 of the third, finding the back of the net on a one-timer off a feed from Patrick Kane, who was behind the net.

“It’s fun. We’ve been friends for 10 or 12 years, and it’s the fifth time we’ve played each other in pro, and we love it. Second NHL game, but we’ve played each other twice in the [American Hockey League] and once in the [ECHL],” Darling said.

“We’re great friends, and we both want to win. I’m happy he played well, but I’m happy I won.”

Duncan Keith had the other goal for the Hawks, who got their second straight win.

Condon made 26 saves for the Senators, who failed to jump into first place in the Atlantic Division. Kyle Turris scored the lone goal.

Keith opened the scoring 8:04 into the third period. Condon made the initial save on the shot but the rebound bounced off a collection of bodies in front of the net before crossing the goal line.

“I thought the rebound was going far right so I tried to extend, then it hit a skate and went the other way,” Condon said. “I tried to lay back and cover it up, but the guy tapped it in.”

Turris tied the score at 11:23 on the power play with a one-timer from the right side that beat a screened Darling over the shoulder with Bobby Ryan on top of the crease.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Bronson Koenig made a school-record eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, and Nigel Hayes added 16 points as NCAA tournament-tested Wisconsin advanced in the East Region with an 84-74 victory over Virginia Tech on Thursday night.

The eighth-seeded Badgers (26-9) made all the big plays in the closing minutes to set up a meeting with top-seeded Villanova on Saturday.

The Wildcats shook off a sluggish and strange first half and downed Mount St. Mary’s, 76-56.

No team understands the survive-and-advance mentality in this tourney better than Wisconsin, the only team in the country to make the Sweet 16 the past three years.

And the Badgers counted on Koenig and Hayes, two of their four senior starters, to get them within one win of another trip to the third round.

Zach Leday scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to pace the Hokies (22-11), making their first NCAA visit since 2007.

Middle Tenn. 81, Minnesota 72: At Milwaukee, Middle Tennessee took down another Big Ten team in the NCAA tournament, although the latest victory didn’t really feel like an upset.

The Blue Raiders stood up to Minnesota’s rugged defense, then blew past the foul-prone Golden Gophers for a victory.

Middle Tennessee proved it was no one-year wonder after shocking Michigan State as a No. 15 seed last March.

Reggie Upshaw scored 19 points and Giddy Potts added 15 for the Blue Raiders (31-4), who move on to face fourth-seeded Butler in the second

Melo Trimble had 13 points but made only one-third of his shots.

Purdue 80, Vermont 70: At Milwaukee, Vincent Edwards scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half, and Purdue held off Vermont for its first victory in the NCAA tournament in five years.

Caleb Swanigan added 16 points, 14 rebounds and four assists for the fourth-seeded Boilermakers (26-7), who were upset by Arkansas-Little Rock in double-overtime in the first round of last year’s tournament. Dakota Mathias made three of Purdue’s nine 3-pointers and finished with 13 points.

It was Vermont’s first loss this calendar year. The Catamounts (29-6), the regular-season and tournament champions in the America East, had the nation’s longest active winning streak at 21 games.

Notre Dame 60, Princeton 58: At Buffalo, the Fighting Irish avoided the dreaded upset from a 12th seed.

Barely.

Bonzie Colson scored 18 points, and the West Region’s fifth-seeded Fighting Irish avoided a meltdown in the final two minutes to hang on for a win over Princeton.

After Notre Dame’s Matt Farrell missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with a 59-58 lead, Princeton had a chance to win on its final possession. Devin Cannady missed an open 3-pointer, and Notre Dame’s Steve Vasturia pulled down the rebound and was fouled.

Ferrell finished with 16 points in a game the Fighting Irish (26-9) almost squandered an 11-point second-half lead.

Spencer Weisz led Princeton with 15 points. The Ivy League champion Tigers (23-7) had a 19-game winning streak going into the NCAA tournament.

10 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Versatility crucial for bench players

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Who will be the bench players and role players for the Cubs in 2017?

Everybody. And that includes the pitchers.

After two years of watching Joe Maddon manage, fans realize by now that anything is possible and that players might find themselves at multiple positions in any one game.

Tommy Kris Bryant may La Stella start at third base, move to left field, go back to third base and then move to right field.

He said during the early days of spring training that he has all of his gloves with him.

Javy Baez might Matt Szczur start at second base, move to third and finish at shortstop, with Ben Zobrist ending up at second after playing the outfield.

And pitchers better have their spikes ready in case they’re needed to pinch hit, pinch run or play left field (before going in to pitch) in a long game.

Coming off a world championship with essentially the same team, the Cubs have had a notable lack of position battles during this spring training.

When looking at how the Opening

Note to readers

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

on-base ability he showed in the minors while in the Atlanta system.

If La Stella vs. Szczur is the final roster battle, it could go down to the last week of spring training. Either way, Maddon will have 25 guys ready for action each day.

Kyle Schwarber is the likely Opening Day left fielder, but Maddon no doubt will take him out of games for defense in the late innings. That could open a role for Szczur, or it could mean that whoever does not start in center field – Jon Jay or Almora – will go into left field late in games.

If Maddon decides to move Bryant and Baez around during games, La Stella is a logical replacement when either of their positions is vacated.

Schwarber is the No. 3 catcher on the depth chart behind Willson Contreras and Miguel Montero. When Schwarber isn’t in left field, he could get the occasional start behind the plate, or he could help in extra-inning games.

The Cubs will get to use the designated hitter early this season when they travel to Fenway Park to meet the Boston Red Sox from April 28 to 30. Maddon professes to prefer the National League game over the way it’s played in the American League, but he has to be liking the prospect of using Schwarber as his DH for those games at Fenway. It could be something to file away for the fall.

Day 25-man roster shakes out, it will be important to count the number of pitchers the Cubs keep. The likely number is 13 instead of 12, and that means we’re likely to see a battle for the final bench spot between outfielder Matt Szczur and infielder Tommy La Stella.

Szczur and La Stella provide interesting options for Maddon. Szczur is an athletic and speedy outfielder who can provide occasional pop. He is out of minor league options, and if the Cubs were to put him on waivers to send him to the minors, it’s highly likely another club would claim him.

Last year, Szczur played in 107 regular-season games and put up a line of .259/.312/.400 with five homers and 24 RBIs. He was left off the postseason roster for each round as the Cubs preferred young prospect Albert Almora Jr. La Stella has been with the Cubs for two seasons, but he has not been able to stay on the field. Injuries derailed his 2015 season, limiting him to 33 bigleague games.

Last year, La Stella balked at being sent to the minor leagues, citing personal reasons. But the Cubs stuck with him. In 74 games, La Stella had a line of .270/.357/.405 with two homers and 11 • Follow Bruce Miles on Twitter RBIs. The Cubs always have liked the @BruceMiles2112.

Cubs 4, Dodgers 0 (Glendale, Ariz.)

BUTLER DID IT, WITH HELP Matt Szczur drove home Albert Almora Jr. from second with a two-out single to center in the first inning, and Eddie Butler pitched four scoreless innings in a start to give the Cubs their second victory in as many spring games against the team they beat in last year’s National League Championship Series.

Butler (4-0) struck out four, didn’t walk a batter, allowed one hit and lowered his spring ERA to 2.70 in 10 innings.

OUTFIELDERS ON DISPLAY Szczur, last year’s fourth outfielder who is battling for the final bench job, is having a strong spring both at the plate (.898 OPS) and in the field, where he made a nice running catch Thursday. Almora, last year’s rookie who is looking to gain a big share of the starting time in center field this year, also is having a big spring. His double in three at-bats pushed his OPS to .904.

HOT HAPP Second baseman Ian Happ, the 2015 firstround draft pick who has turned heads all spring during his first big-league camp, doubled and walked twice against the Dodgers.

SPORTS BRIEFS Bulls’ Wade out for rest of season Wednesday night’s loss to Memphis when he collided with Grizzlies forward Zach with fractured right elbow CHICAGO – Dwyane Wade decided to leave Miami after 13 seasons to come home to Chicago, hoping his arrival would help galvanize the Bulls team he grew up watching.

The fairy tale gave way to a much harsher reality this season, with the Bulls plagued by locker room discord and frustration between the team leaders and the front office. That Wade’s first season is ending 14 games early because of a fractured right elbow only makes it more painful.

An MRI on Thursday revealed a fractured bone and ligament damage in Wade’s elbow, ruling him out for the rest of the regular season. With the Bulls (32-36) sitting in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and having lost six of their past seven games, the playoffs are looking less likely by the day.

Wade was injured in the fourth quarter of

Randolph. He said after the game that he felt “a couple of pops” and the elbow was briefly dislocated.

Coach Fred Hoiberg said Wade’s injury does not change the immediate goal to make the playoffs, and there is no plan to rest other veterans such as Jimmy Butler down the stretch.

Indiana fires Crean after 9 seasons, 5th without NCAA tournament bid

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Nine years after taking over a team mired in turmoil after an NCAA scandal, Tom Crean was fired Thursday as Indiana University’s basketball coach after missing the NCAA tournament for the fifth time in his tenure. The 50-yearold coach had three years remaining on his contract, and the move comes a little more than three months before his buyout would have dropped from $4 million to $1 million.
