Three chairs for Descartes! I think it was Descartes who said, “I sit, therefore I am,” or something like that. If his philosophical proposition is true, then our very metaphysical existence pretty much depends upon the function and availability of a piece of furniture. That doesn’t surprise me, because it appears our happiness depends upon the size of the screen of our TV, our sense of worth is dependent upon the number of Facebook friends we have, and our search for the meaning of life is contingent upon our cellphone data plan. But, back to Descartes. If the transitory physical positioning of oneself in a semi-erect posture is a prime determinant of one’s innate presence, then, by golly, a chair is, theoretically, as important as the air we breathe. Thus, at this point in my life, I feel the need to re-evaluate the chairness of my existence. Taking an inventory isn’t difficult; there are basically three important chairs in my life. The first is my trusty, crusty Amish glider chair. It sits in our living room, pointed toward the TV like a storm-tossed ship at a lighthouse. It is like resting on two perpendicular cloud-pillows set in sweet Pennsylvanian Dutch motion. But, unfortunately, that chair has been claimed by Steve the Wonder Dog, who has discovered its simple gifts of canine comfort and has taken it over like a kid snatching a shoofly pie from a kitchen window. My next chair is the one that I sit in at my desk at home as I write my columns. It is a wooden, armless round back chair with padded shiny red upholstery. This chair was actually from an old Chinese restaurant in Crystal Lake. It was the place where I got my favorite fortune cookie that said, “You have rice in your teeth.” Unfortunately, the restaurant closed, but I was able to acquire one of its chairs, treasuring fond memories of burned nasal hairs from the yellow hot sauce and eating General Tso’s chicken without his permission. But beyond the mini poodle-occupied Amish
TODAY’S TALKER MICHIGAN MAN PUBLISHES OBITUARY WHILE STILL ALIVE
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A Michigan man has published his own obituary and scheduled his own memorial service after stopping cancer treatment. Bob Eleveld, 80, announced this week that he will host a “celebration of life” open house Saturday in lieu of a funeral. Eleveld also published an obituary on March 12 with the date range “8/3/1936 - Not Yet,” the Grand Rapids Press reported. “Yes this is unconventional, and yes some people

WHERE IT’S AT
JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava glider and the unemployed Chinese restaurant chair, there’s one more piece of furniture that I sit upon that connects with my existential self. It is a yellow upholstered rocker that I got for free at a garage sale. It is ugly, uncomfortable and embarrassing, but the price was right. I stashed it in the corner of my office because my wife has put it near the top of her list of her “Husband’s Endangered Goods and Assets,” along with my vintage bright orange bowling shirt with the name “Spike” embroidered above the front pocket and my statue of a garden gnome holding a sign that says, “I’m so excited I wet my plants.” Now, I don’t know exactly what these three chairs are saying about my esoteric existence. Because I rarely sit on my Amish chair, I suppose it really doesn’t score very high on the “Descartes Metaphysical Posturepedic Scale.” The Chinese restaurant chair, however, explains why an hour after I sit in it I want to sit in it again. The yellow eyesore chair is a bit thornier to explain. Perhaps its pathetic appearance and incommodious composure suggest a deep-seated body image insecurity combined with an unwieldy coordinative tendency. And, despite these defects, the fact that I persist in my wretched existence implies an abnormal obliviousness to conventional awareness. Or it just might mean that I’m really cheap.

think it’s a little weird,” Eleveld’s daughter, Kerry Eleveld, said. But she added that having an end-oflife party fits her father’s personality perfectly. “Long before he had cancer, he would always say, ‘Don’t throw a funeral for me. Have a party,’ ” she said. “This feels like the perfect way to honor my father, because it’s the way he wants to do it. It seems perfectly fitting.” Bob Eleveld is a Grand Rapids attorney who also has been involved in politics as a local Republican Party chairman, a state representative candidate and a member of the East Grand Rapids City Commission. –Wire report

Algonquin, LITH firefighters, police prepare for large-scale incidents By HANNAH PROKOP
hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Every time there is an active violence situation – such as the Columbine High School massacre, the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting or Northern Illinois University shooting – first responders adapt policies to improve how they respond. “It’s no secret that these large-scale incidents have been occurring more and more over the last 10 years, and they aren’t isolated to big cities,” said Matt Berg, Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District captain of training and safety. To be proactive in training for such situations, about 150 members of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District and the Algonquin and
“Our whole mission of the rescue task force is to save as many lives as possible and get medical treatment to innocent victims as quickly as we can.” Llyod Howen, Lake in the Hills police sergeant Lake in the Hills police departments participated in rescue task force training throughout the past week, Berg said. It was the first time the three agencies from bordering communities had trained together on such a large scale, Berg said. The training sessions took place over three days at the former Duralife building in Algonquin, and included classroom activities as well as practical training on equipment use, moving
through the building where a threat has been located and carrying wounded victims to safety, Berg said. Owners donated the use of the building for training, he said. The relatively new technique first responders practiced is called rapid deployment, Lake in the Hills police Sgt. Lloyd Howen said. In rapid deployment, small groups of police officers and firefighters will enter an active violence scene, such as a school shooting, before the scene has been completely secured,
Howen said. “Typically a fire department would stage, wait a bit away from the scene, until police were able to secure it and make it 100 percent safe for firefighter personnel,” Howen said. “Well, people are dying. People that can survive something like that, they need medical care right away.” Howen, along with Berg, Lake in the Hills police Sgt. Michael Boyce and Algonquin police Officer Tim Wilkin, were certified in rescue task force training by the Illinois Tactical Officers Association and have been planning for the past week’s training for about a year. “Our whole mission of the rescue task force is to save as many lives as

Mario Casciaro wants certificate of innocence in Johnsburg murder case By JORDYN REILAND
Mario Casciaro speaks with the Northwest Herald on Sept. 24, 2015, at his attorney’s office in Downers Grove. Casciaro’s attorneys are seeking a certificate of innocence, a document that would allow Casciaro to seek money damages from the state for the time he served in prison.
jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Although Mario Casciaro’s conviction was overturned in 2015, prosecutors still don’t think he’s innocent. On Friday, nearly 18 months after Casciaro was released from prison when his conviction for the 2002 murder of Johnsburg teenager Brian Carrick was overturned, attorneys argued over his claims. McHenry County jurors found Casciaro guilty of first-degree murder by intimidation in March 2013 after the conclusion of three trials, one for perjury and two for murder, in connection with Carrick’s 2002 disappearance. Carrick was last seen Dec 20, 2002, at the grocery store where he worked, which also was owned by Casciaro’s parents. Casciaro, now 33, was the only person ever convicted in the high-profile murder case that garnered national attention and stumped detectives. He served 22 months in Menard Correctional Facility on his 26-year sentence before the 2nd District Appellate Court overturned his conviction. He was released from prison in September 2015. A ruling from the 2nd District Appellate Court overturned Casciaro’s conviction because it said evidence was so lacking and improbable that the state failed to prove Casciaro’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Illinois Supreme Court denied the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s request in March 2016 to hear an appeal of the lower court’s decision.

Casciaro’s attorneys are seeking a certificate of innocence, a document that would allow Casciaro to seek money damages from the state for the time he served in prison. One of Casciaro’s attorneys, Doug Johnson, argued Friday that prosecutors had no physical evidence to connect Casciaro to the crime and suggested other reasons for the prosecution. Casciaro was not at the hearing. “There’s as much evidence against Mario Casciaro as there is against me,” Johnson said, referencing statements from the Appellate Court decision. Shane Lamb, Casciaro and Carrick all worked at Val’s Foods. Lamb and others testified that Casciaro was dealing marijuana, and as one of his sellers, Carrick owed Casciaro drug money. In their petition, the defense pointed to the affidavit that was written by Lamb after trial, alleging that he provided false testimony because prosecutors told him to do so. Prosecutors relied heavily on the

testimony of Lamb, the man who said he likely threw the punch that killed the 17-year-old. Prosecutors have said Casciaro used Lamb as the “muscle” or a “henchman” to intimidate Carrick into paying the drug debt. Lamb was given full immunity for his testimony against Casciaro. Lamb testified that after he punched Carrick in the face and Carrick “fell down,” Casciaro told him to leave, which Lamb said he did. Carrick’s body has not been found. Lamb later recanted the entire story in a signed affidavit and during a national news TV program about the case. Former State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi and lead prosecutor on the case, Michael Combs, have vehemently denied the allegation regarding Lamb’s testimony. McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally argued that although the appellate court determined the state’s evidence at trial was “insufficient to prove (Casciaro) guilty be-
yond reasonable doubt,” that doesn’t mean he is “actually innocent.” “A finding of not guilty is not the legal equivalent of innocent, even when a ruling court has determined ‘that no rational jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that the state proved all elements of the crimes charged,’ ” Kenneally said in the state’s objection to the defense’s argument for a certificate of innocence. Kenneally also argued that the evidence as a whole weighs in favor of guilt and the court should be cautious in relying on the appellate court’s opinion when making a determination on actual innocence. “The defendant wishes to recast himself as the victim. He is not. The real victim is lying nameless in an unmarked, unhallowed grave. The defendant’s disinterest, deceit and contempt manifested during the investigation of a child’s disappearance from his family’s own store exposed his callousness and consciousness of guilty,” Kenneally said in his objection to the defense’s petition. “His evident involvement in that child’s demise and current pretensions of innocence, exposes his treachery.” Kenneally told the court to not “take anyone’s word for it” and instead look at the evidence in the case when making a decision. Judge Sharon Prather didn’t make a decision Friday on the certificate of innocence. Attorneys will appear in court May 11 after both sides have had a chance to file motions on what evidence they think should be considered in the judge’s decision.

Hearing continued for doctor accused of overprescribing pills By JORDYN REILAND
Log on to www.NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:
Have you ever had a drill at work or school for a potential violent event?
jreiland@shawmedia.com A hearing to determine whether a McHenry doctor will lose his license after he allegedly overprescribed large amounts of pain medication to his patients was continued Friday. Raman I. Popli’s license was temporarily suspended Monday pending a hearing before a disciplinary board. The hearing has been rescheduled after a motion was filed by his attorney, Raman I. Alan Rhine. Popli will Popli appear with his attorney for a status hearing March 27. A complaint was filed Monday by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation against Popli, a general practitioner who has worked in the McHenry area for more than a decade, claiming that he was “inappropriately prescribing controlled substances to the patients of his private practice,” according to court records. A nearly yearlong investigation by the DEA’s Chicago Field Office found that Popli prescribed more than 350,000 dosage units of controlled substances between June 2014 and May 2016. This included 167,000 dosage units of hydrocodone, 86,000 dosage units of Xanax, 50,000 dosage units of oxycodone and more than 28,000 dosage units of Klonopin, according to court documents. Two undercover officers posing as patients in need of pain medication visited Popli’s office, 5415 Bull Valley Road, McHenry, as part of a sting last

The practice of Dr. Raman Popli is located at 5415 Bull Valley Road in McHenry. Popli has been accused of writing false prescriptions. summer. Popli gave both officers prescriptions for hydrocodone during their first visits, although both presented several “red flags.” On July 25 and Aug. 10, two undercover officers went to Popli’s office and posed as patients complaining of discomfort or soreness. Without any thorough examination or X-ray, Popli prescribed both officers Norco after they requested it. Weeks later, on Aug. 15, both officers contacted Popli’s office separately, and they each were told they had been taken out of the system and the doctor would not treat them any further. Both officers also were sent a letter from Popli’s
office that read, “Your name has been flagged by the DEA (along with a few others), and I have been informed by the DEA that you need to be referred to a pain specialist and that I should not be prescribing chronic pain medications to you.” Brian Zachariah, chief medical coordinator of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and a licensed physician for about 29 years, said that after reviewing documents related to the case, “the continued practice of medicine by Raman Popli, M.D., presents an immediate danger to the safety of the public in the state of Illinois.”

Woodstock police: Don’t drink and drive this St. Patrick’s Day weekend NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Police departments in McHenry County are warning drivers to not drink and drive during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. “The Woodstock Police Department will be on patrol this St. Patrick’s Day, so make sure you obey the law,” Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said in a news release. “Don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends do it, either.
Help us make zero fatalities a reality in Illinois.” Drivers are asked to decide whether they’ll drink or drive before they celebrate. Lieb said always designating a sober driver and not allowing friends to drive under the influence are two easy steps to help avoid a crash or arrest. Woodstock police also wants people hosting parties to remember they can be held liable and be prosecuted if some-
one they serve is involved in an impaired driving crash. Hosts are asked to make sure all guests designate a sober driver in advance or help arrange ride sharing with others who are sober. The St. Patrick’s Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown is administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation and is financed by federal traffic safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

HUNTLEY – Aside from some concerns with parking, Huntley trustees were supportive of a new independent senior living facility planned to come to the village. Resort Lifestyle Communities has proposed to bring its development, Huntley Springs Retirement Community, to a 9.6-acre site on Powers Road, east of Route 47 and south of Kreutzer Road. People age 55 and older would be eligible to live in the $30 million, 130-unit facility, village documents show. Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments would be available. At the Huntley Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday, Huntley development services director Charles Norman said Resort Lifestyle Communities would buy the 30-acre property that the 9.6 acre-parcel is located on, with the idea that other areas could be developed in the future. This would be the first Illinois location for the Lincoln, Nebraska-based company, he said. The all-inclusive facility features a library, 150-seat theater and fitness center. Residents would have access to services including three meals a day, housekeeping, valet parking, full-time live-in managers and a fitness director,

NEW YORK – George Braziller, an independent and self-taught publisher for more than 50 years who supported early novels by Norman Mailer and Arthur Miller and released fiction by Nobel laureates Orhan Pamuk and Claude Simon, has died. He was 101. A spokesman for his publishing house, George Braziller Inc., told The Associated Press that Braziller died Thursday at the Mary Manning Walsh Home in Manhattan after a brief illness. Braziller had stepped down as publisher at age 95 and turned over the company to his son, Michael Braziller. A high school dropout endowed with lifelong curiosity, George Braziller was often likened to his good friend and fellow maverick, Barney Rosset. Both were political leftists and champions of books from overseas and both succeeded by breaking rules, although Braziller was never in Rosset’s class as a troublemaker. While Rosset went to court to fight censorship of “Tropic of Cancer” and other works, Braziller concentrated on
finding quality literature. “Take lots and lots of gambles,” an industry veteran once advised Braziller, “but small ones.” He had been running two book clubs when he decided to become a publisher and, with his wife, Marsha, founded George Braziller Inc. in 1955. His first success was a translation of a memoir about the French conflict with Algeria, Henri Alleg’s “La Question,” for which Jean-Paul Sartre wrote an introduction. Over the next half-century, he acquired works from all over the world, from Turkey’s Pamuk to Irish author-director Neil Jordan to New Zealand’s Janet Frame, whose memoir “An Angel at My Table” helped inspire a film of the same name by Jane Campion. “I was doubly fortunate in the early years to have no preconception about my role as a publisher,” Braziller told author Al Silverman for “The Times of Their Lives,” a publishing history released in 2008. “I simply felt I was on the quest to know more about the world and how others interpreted it, and every new discovery opened to others.

Lake in the Hills police Sgt. Lloyd Howen drags a victim, played by firefighter Cody Wennerstrom, on Thursday during a demonstration before an active violence training scenario at the former Duralife building in Algonquin.

possible and get medical treatment to innocent victims as quickly as we can,” Howen said. Typically, a rescue task force includes about two police officers and two firefighter/paramedics entering an active violence scene together, organizers said. Police officers provide security while paramedics take care of the injured. “Together we’re so much more effective than when we work independently,” Wilkin said. But working in groups requires the agencies to share their language and expertise with each other, which is where the practices come in handy, organizers said.
Doing this also requires new equipment for all departments. Berg said the fire department received a grant to help buy four ballistic vests and helmets for firefighters. Police invested in medical equipment, Howen and Wilkin said, including portable transport units to carry wounded people from a scene. The three departments hope to do this type of training at least once a year, organizers said. “I just want the people of our community to know that they’re police departments and fire departments are working together to provide the best service that we can in the most professional manner,” Howen said. “And when the critical incidents happen ... we’re going to be able to give the best service and save as many lives as possible.”

After buying the shoes from C.A.R.E.S., Funds2Orgs sells the shoes to “small businesses and individuals” who will clean and make any small repairs needed and resell the shoes to people in their communities. The school’s goal is to collect 300 bags of 25 pairs of shoes each. In addition to having drop boxes in all of the schools, others will be throughout the community, including at the Johnsburg Public Library and Your World Fitness For information, email Judy Krueger at jkrueger@johnsburg12.org.

STATE
Republicans oppose Great Lakes cuts By JOHN FLESHER
The Associated Press TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – It sounds like an idea that would warm a conservative Republican’s heart: Kill funding of a regional environmental cleanup that has lasted seven years and cost the federal government more than $2 billion, with no end in sight. If states want to keep the program going, let them pick up the tab. That is what President Donald Trump’s 2018 budget plan proposes for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, an ambitious push to fix problems that have long bedeviled the world’s largest surface freshwater system – from invasive species to algal blooms and toxic sludge fouling tributary rivers. During the Obama administration, the program generally got about $300 million a year. Trump’s offer is zero. His spending plan released Thursday says it “returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to state and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities.” The response from Republicans in Great Lakes states: No, thanks. “I think it makes sense for us to continue to make prudent investments in

PEORIA – Caterpillar Inc. is hiring a former U.S. attorney general to help it sort out matters that sparked a federal raid on its headquarters in central Illinois. William P. Barr will serve as outside counsel to the large equipment manufacturer. He will help Caterpillar review and address issues relating to Caterpillar SARL, a Swiss parts subsidiary, and tax-saving practices. Problems with Caterpillar SARL have dogged the company for eight years, sparking a Senate investigation, shareholder lawsuits, and proposed taxes and penalties totaling $2 billion. CEO Jim Umpleby said in a news release Thursday that Barr’s counsel will help the

Woman headed to prison 15 years after sentencing
CHAMPAIGN – An Urbana woman is being put behind bars 15 years after she was sentenced to prison. The Champaign News-Gazette reported that 44-year-old Aretha L. Baughman was arrested this week in Champaign County after a probation officer learned she was wanted on a 2002 warrant. Baughman had been arrested on drug charges in 2000 and placed on probation as part of a plea bargain. After she violated her probation, she was ordered to return to court for resentencing in October 2002. When she didn’t show up, a judge sentenced her to six years in prison and issued a warrant for her arrest.

Convicted subcontractor given 12-month sentence
CHICAGO – A 12-month prison sentence has been handed to a woman convicted of helping a general contractor falsely claim it was fulfilling a Chicago requirement to hire women-owned companies for city work. Elizabeth Perino of Willowbrook was convicted by a federal jury in June on three counts of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud. Lawyers for the 62-year-old Perino sought probation and home confinement. But U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman on Thursday said he opted for prison to send a message to “an industry that needs to clean up its act.” Federal prosecutors contended Perino falsified paperwork to suggest her company, Perdel Contracting Co., would perform work on the projects when it did not. Prosecutors said a city ordinance sets a
Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said. The reaction illustrates a political fact of life: Whether you consider something in the budget valuable or wasteful can depend a lot on where you’re from. And it underscores the resistance Trump may encounter to some spending cuts he is proposing for the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Interior and other agencies that draw frequent attacks from congressional Republicans yet fund projects and services with support back home. The president’s spending blueprint also targets a Chesapeake Bay cleanup begun in 1983 that received $73 million last year, plus other “geographic programs.” It doesn’t identify them, but a proposal by the Office of Management and Budget this month called for cutting all or most funding for San Francisco Bay, Puget Sound and the Gulf of Mexico.

In a news release, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced that 61-year-old Rafath Waheed of Lisle was charged with two felony counts of issuing a forged document and two felony counts of perjury. Waheed is accused of making photocopies of completed signature portions of petitions, completing the candidate information by hand and then notorized those petitions as authentic in an effort to secure a spot on the College of DuPage board of trustees. Waheed turned herself in to authorities Wednesday night and was released after posting $1,000 bond.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump sidesteps blame over row with Britain
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump defiantly refused to back down Friday from his explosive claim that Barack Obama wiretapped his phones, and sidestepped any blame for the White House decision to highlight an unverified report that Britain helped carry out the alleged surveillance. In brushing off the diplomatic row with perhaps America’s closest ally, Trump also revived another: the Obama administration’s monitoring of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s calls. “At least we have something in common, perhaps,” Trump quipped during a joint news conference with Merkel. Merkel, who was making her first visit to the White House since Trump took office, looked surprised by the president’s comment, which he appeared primed to deliver.
Earth sizzles to near record heat in February
WASHINGTON – Even without an El Nino warming the world’s waters, Earth in February sizzled to its second hottest temperature on record, behind only last year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculated that February 2017 averaged 55.66 degrees. That’s 1.76 degrees warmer than the
20th century average. It also was the second hottest winter in the northern hemisphere on record. Records go back to 1880. In the past, Earth doesn’t come near record heat if there’s no El Nino. This year it did – on every continent. NOAA climate scientist Ahira Sanchez-Lugo called it clear evidence of climate change. She calculated that the rate of February warming since 1980 is twice as high as since 1880.
Cholesterol drug cuts heart risks, spurs debate
A long-acting cholesterol medicine cut the risk of having a heart attack or some other serious problems by 15 percent to 20 percent in a big study that’s likely to spur fresh debate about what drugs should cost. Statins such as Lipitor and Crestor are cheap and lower LDL or bad cholesterol, but some people can’t tolerate or get enough help from them. The new drug, Amgen’s Repatha, is given as a shot once or twice a month and is part of a novel class of medicines that drop LDL to unprecedented levels. It costs more than $14,000 a year, and insurers have balked at paying without proof that it lowers heart risks, not just the cholesterol number.

Trump OKs changes in GOP health care bill The ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump agreed to add fresh Medicaid curbs to the House Republican health care bill Friday, bolstering the measure with support from some conservative lawmakers but leaving its prospects wobbly. House leaders discussed other amendments calibrated to round up votes and scheduled a showdown vote Thursday. “I just want to let the world know I am 100 percent in favor” of the measure, Trump said at the White House after meeting around a dozen House lawmakers and shaking hands on revisions. “We’re going to have a health care plan that’s going to be second to none.” While the rapid-fire events seemed to build momentum for the pivotal GOP legislation, its fate remained clouded. One leading House conservative said the alterations were insufficient and claimed enough allies to sink the measure, and support among moderates remained uncertain. “My whip count indicates that there are 40 no’s,” enough to defeat the bill, said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who leads the hard-line House Freedom Caucus. He said the change “doesn’t move the ball more than a couple yards on a very long playing field.” Across the Capitol, Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., facing re-election next year, became the fourth Republican senator to announce his opposition. That left Senate GOP leaders at least two votes shy of what they’d need to prevail. Congressional Democrats remain solidly opposed to the GOP effort. Thursday will mark the seventh anniversary of when Obama signed his health overhaul into law, one of his milestone domestic achievements enacted over unanimous GOP opposition. Beyond that symbolism, Republican leaders

The Republican bill would kill much of former President Barack Obama’s health care law, including tax penalties for people who don’t buy insurance and its expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health program for the poor. It would create new tax credits that would be less generous than current federal subsidies for many consumers, and repeal levies on the wealthy and medical firms that helped finance Obama’s expansion of coverage to 20 million Americans. Trump’s deal with lawmakers would let states impose work requirements on some of Medicaid’s roughly 60 million recipients. The condition would apply to healthy people with no dependents, a White House official said. The agreement would let states accept lump-sum federal payments for Medicaid, instead of an amount that would grow with the number of beneficiaries. The program
currently costs the federal government about $370 billion annually and covers costs no matter the amounts. Also, any additional states that expand Medicaid would not receive the additional federal money Obama’s law provided them for doing so. Thirty-one states have enlarged their Medicaid rolls under the law. “These changes definitely strengthen our numbers,” said the House GOP’s top vote counter, Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, among Trump’s guests Friday. “But they also show that President Trump is all-in now” to help win converts. Those accepting the agreement included Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., leader of the Republican Study Committee, a large group of House conservatives. It seemed clear that GOP leaders remained short of the 216 votes they’ll need, and additional changes were in the works. Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said he’d been assured by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that the bill’s tax credit would be adjusted to focus more benefits on lower-income people.

Trump, Merkel try to sidestep differences The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel tried to sidestep their differences in a meeting Friday at the White House, but their first public appearance was punctuated by some awkward moments. During a photo op in the Oval Office, the two did not shake hands before reporters. Trump pushed back against the notion in Europe that his “America First” agenda means he’s an isolationist, calling such a suggestion “another example of, as you say, fake news.” And he referred to the U.S. as “a very powerful company,” before quickly correcting that to “country.” When a German reporter asked Trump if he regrets any of his commentary on Twitter, Trump said, “Very seldom.” Merkel maintained her composure even when Trump repeated his contention that former President Barack Obama may have tapped his phones in Trump Tower. He sought to turn the explosive charge into a light joke when asked about concerns raised by the British government that the White House is now citing a debunked claim that U.K. spies snooped on Trump. “At least we have something in common, perhaps,” Trump said casually, referring to 2013 reports that the U.S. was monitoring Merkel’s cellphone conversations. As for the most recent

President Donald Trump looks to German Chancellor Angela Merkel as she speaks Friday during a joint news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington. report, Trump said he shouldn’t be blamed for quoting a Fox News analyst who had accused British intelligence of helping Obama spy on him. When the subject turned to economic issues, Merkel attempted to project a conciliatory approach. She said the “success of Germans has always been one where the German success is one side of the coin and the other side of the coin has been European unity and European integration. That’s something of which I’m deeply convinced.”
Those comments appeared aimed at making a case to Trump on the benefits of the European Union. Trump backed Britain’s departure from the EU and has expressed skepticism of multilateral trade agreements. The two leaders tried to express their common bonds but showed minimal rapport in their first encounter, a departure from Merkel’s warm relations with Obama during his eight years as president. At the start of the news conference, Merkel sought to
break the ice, saying that it was “much better to talk to one another than about one another.” Merkel said delicately that while she represents German interests, Trump “stands up for, as is right, American interests. That is our task respectively.” She said they were “trying to address also those areas where we disagree but tried to bring people together.” “We need to be fair with each other,” Merkel said, saying both countries were expecting “that something good comes out of it for their own people.” The meetings at the White House included discussions on strengthening NATO, fighting the Islamic State group, the conflict in Afghanistan and resolving Ukraine’s conflict, all matters that require close cooperation between the U.S. and Germany. The talks, postponed from Tuesday because of a snowstorm, aimed to represent a restart of a relationship complicated by Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail. As a candidate, Trump frequently accused the chancellor of “ruining” Germany for allowing an influx of refugees and other migrants from Syria and accused his campaign rival, Hillary Clinton, of wanting to be “America’s Angela Merkel.” During the news conference, Trump predicted that a new health care law would be passed by a substantial margin and “pretty quickly,” expressing optimism for his top legislative priority.
Lawmakers decry Trump’s cut to Meals on Wheels By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Meals on Wheels, the popular service that provides food to the elderly, faces a sharp funding cut under President Donald Trump’s budget proposal, drawing protests from congressional Republicans and Democrats. The exact size of the cut is unknown, but White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said the government “can’t spend money on programs just because they sound good – and great.” “Meals on Wheels sounds great. Again, that’s a state decision to fund that particular portion, to take the federal money and give it to the states, and say look, we want to give you money for programs that don’t work,” Mulvaney said. Mulvaney’s comments Thursday caused consternation at the Capitol and beyond as lawmakers from both parties vowed to protect the program,
which serves nearly a million meals a day nationwide through a network of more than 5,000 local programs. More than 2.4 million older Americans are served each year, including more than 500,000 veterans. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., said Friday he’s “been a fan of Meals on Wheels forever” and even delivered food to the elderly. Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., said Trump’s plan was “literally taking food away from seniors.” Trump’s budget proposal would cut hundreds of millions of dollars for the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as eliminate Community Development Block Grants provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Both agencies provide funding for Meals on Wheels, although its main source of funding is the Older Americans Act overseen by the Health and Human Services Department. Trump’s budget cuts HHS spending by about
16.2 percent, but does not include a line item for the Older Americans Act or Meals on Wheels. The budget also eliminates the $3 billion community block grant program, which some communities use to supplement Meals on Wheels and provide safety checks for the elderly. It was not clear how much of the blockgrant funding goes to Meals on Wheels, since decisions are made by states and local governments. “The problem with a ‘skinny budget’ is that it is lean on details,” said Ellie Hollander, president and CEO of Meals on Wheels America, referring to a term commonly used on Capitol Hill to describe Trump’s bare-bones budget document. Still, “cuts of any kind to these highly successful and leveraged programs would be a devastating blow to our ability to provide much-needed care for millions of vulnerable seniors in America,” Hollander said in a statement. Jenny Bertolette, a spokeswoman
for Meals on Wheels, said the group gets about 35 percent of its funding through the Older Americans Act, with the rest provided by state and local governments and private donations. The act’s 2016 budget was about $834 million, with nearly $849 million proposed for 2017. Some programs will be hit hard by Trump’s budget and some might not be severely affected, Bertolette said. A provider in Ypsilanti, Michigan – where Trump traveled Wednesday to focus on fuel-economy standards – faces a possible 30 percent funding cut, she said. That means the program in the Detroit suburb could serve one meal a day instead of two, she said. “The Trump budget will make Americans less safe, deny them access to justice and fund discriminatory immigration policies at the expense of hardworking Americans who need vital federal services such as Meals on Wheels,” said Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
THE WAY AHEAD
Military commanders, frustrated by what they considered micromanagement under the previous administration, have argued for greater freedom to make daily decisions on how to fight the enemy. And Trump said the threat must be extinguished quickly. Still, America is having some success at the moment. U.S.-trained Iraqi forces have pushed IS to the brink of a major loss in Mosul, coming after the group’s defeats in the western Iraqi cities of Ramadi and Fallujah. But the elimination of IS in Iraq appears far from over, and U.S. commanders may determine they need more troops there. It’s an altogether tougher situation in Syria, where the fight against IS is happening simultaneously with Syria’s six-year-old civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Turkey, a U.S. NATO ally, is working at cross-purposes with the U.S. in some respects. Turkey’s military incursion into northern Syria aims to push IS militants back from the border and prevent Kurdish forces from holding contiguous territory on Turkey’s frontier.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN
Thumbs-down to fighting FOIA requests Thumbs-down: To news that the Obama administration in its final year spent a record $36.2 million on legal costs defending its refusal to turn over federal records under the Freedom of Information Act, according to an Associated Press analysis of new U.S. data. Today marks the end of Sunshine Week, a week devoted to the importance of public records being kept public. It never has been a partisan issue, but the trend of government using taxpayer dollars to hide records from those same taxpayers continues to be disturbing and the fight will go on. Thumbs-up: To Jill Santoriello, the New York playwright who recently flew here to see the musical she wrote performed by students at Prairie Ridge High School. Santoriello, whose Broadway musical adaptation of “A Tale of Two Cities” – based on the classic Charles Dickens’ novel – opened in New York in 2008, even stuck around after the show to pose for pictures with students and answer questions. Her appearance won’t soon be forgotten. Thumbs-up: To the Jacobs High School and Marengo High School boys’ basketball teams for their deep run into the supersectionals coming up just short of a trip to the state finals in Peoria. There’s a great deal of hard work and discipline to achieving that level of success and we appreciate these student athletes and their coaches who took us along for the ride for our own local taste of March Madness. Thumbs-up: To Richard Bernotas Middle School eighth-grader Serena Huberty, who will be representing McHenry County in not one but two academic contests on state and national stages. Huberty won the McHenry County Spelling Bee on March 8, and just a week later, she was named a National Geographic State Bee semifinalist. She will compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., later this year and, along with Lundahl Middle School sixth-grader Lyric Engelbrecht and Nippersink Middle School eighth-grader Conner Comein, will compete March 31 in the National Geographic State Bee at Illinois State University for the chance to make it to the championship round in Washington, D.C. We can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish next, and wish her luck in the upcoming competitions.

ANOTHER VIEW
Federal marijuana crackdown ill-advised We’re disappointed White House press secretary Sean Spicer recently said “greater enforcement” of federal drug laws, including prohibition of marijuana, is coming. “There’s a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and other drugs of that nature,” he said. This, at a time when a majority of Americans support not only limiting federal enforcement of marijuana laws but outright legalizing the drug. Such a move would run counter to multiple statements by Donald Trump on the campaign trail. “(In) terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, stateby-state,” he said, for example, during a campaign rally Oct. 29, 2015. From a constitutional perspective, this is the most sensible and pragmatic approach to marijuana. Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is there a provision granting the federal government the authority to prohibit intoxicants. In America’s
prior engagement with the folly of prohibition, that of alcohol, proponents of prohibition at least had the decency to seek and obtain a narrowly worded constitutional amendment, the 18th Amendment, to justify federal intervention. This hasn’t been true of marijuana or other drugs. Voters in most states that have been presented a ballot initiative on marijuana legalization have opted to approve it. Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia have approved outright legalization for medicinal and recreational use, while a majority of states have approved marijuana for medicinal use. Most Americans are simply ready to be done with the issue. A Quinnipiac poll released last month found 71 percent of Americans opposed to the enforcement of federal laws against marijuana in states that have legalized it for recreational or medicinal purposes. This includes 55 percent of Republicans, 72 percent of independents and
80 percent of Democrats. A renewal of a failed and constitutionally dubious federal crackdown on marijuana is simply not a priority of the American public. Gone are the days of reefer madness and even “Just Say No,” with legalization, taxation and regulation seen as a more efficacious and just means of combating the harms of marijuana use, while respecting the freedom of individual choice. We encourage the federal government to take a hands-off approach toward marijuana. Meanwhile, we support efforts in Congress to remove marijuana from federal control. The pretense of federal marijuana prohibition – that arresting users, growers and sellers of marijuana will prevent use of the drug – has long been shown to be nothing more than a harmful delusion that has criminalized far too many people. We encourage President Trump to do the right thing and allow states to make their own choices.
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.

Thorsen should apologize
To the Editor: Congratulations to County Board member Jeff Thorsen! He got through the Feb. 21 County Board meeting without verbally assaulting anyone. Sadly, his recent bizarre behavior sets the bar that low. At the January board meeting, Thorsen angrily yelled at residents during public comment time. During the most recent transportation committee meeting, he berated county staff, accusing them of not informing him or anyone about a road work project. When he was reminded that he not only seconded the motion to approve the road work, but voted in favor of the project on two separate occasions, he still denied any knowledge of it. At the February Committee of the Whole meeting, Thorsen again publicly berated county staff members for failing to inform him about a zoning matter, when in fact the planning and
VIEWS Austin Berg other states from 2000 to 2014, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Is it any wonder why? To go with the state’s dismal economic climate, tuition and fees at Illinois’ public universities have risen anywhere from 74 percent to 112 percent since 2006. ISU hiked average tuition and fees by more than 90 percent, to $13,666. And costs are only going up. Lisa Maag is a proud Illinois mother who watched her daughter attend college elsewhere. After finishing in the top 10 percent of her class at Alton High, Lisa’s daughter did the simple math. The cost of attending her dad’s alma mater, University of Illinois, was more than triple her tuition offer from the University of Missouri. “It’s a no-brainer,” Maag said. “It’s sad that she could not attend U of I, but it’s nice that there’s no student loan burden hanging over her head or ours.” The University of Illinois charges the highest average in-state tuition in the Midwest, compared with each state’s flagship university. University officials across the state are blaming the budget crisis for the mess in higher education. But Illinoisans shouldn’t be duped.
development staff had done everything correctly. Even after being told that staff complied with all requirements, Thorsen continued to yell, threatening and belittling the county employees for no apparent reason. On top of this, Thorsen has belligerently obstructed the transition to electronic voting, which should be a simple reform, and voted against giving taxpayers the opportunity to vote on Chairman Franks’ property tax freeze referendum. Jeff Thorsen needs to apologize to the county’s staff, the administrator, the rest of the board and the taxpayers he serves. If he fails to do so, it will be clear he is not fit for this job and that he should resign. Tom Ganka Wonder Lake

Gridlock isn’t why the system is facing financial troubles. Rather, administrative costs have effectively pulled higher education out of reach for families without the means to pay, or the means to leave. Illinois spends more money on administrative and retirement costs than on university operations. The number of university administrators in Illinois grew by a third between 2004 and 2010, while the number of students grew by less than 3 percent, according to a report from the Illinois State Senate Democratic Caucus. Now, more than 50 percent of the state’s $4.1 billion budget for public universities is spent on retirement costs alone. This isn’t a funding problem. It’s a priority problem. For further evidence, take a look at how universities are dealing with the budget impasse. Officials at Northeastern Illinois University, for example, have a simple message for students: It’s not about you. The university was set to fire about 300 student workers because of a new state regulation that requires schools to eliminate all state-funded student and temporary positions before implementing furlough days for university staff. So while about 1,000 NEIU employees will take five days of unpaid leave in March, hundreds of students would have lost access to jobs that help pay for their education.
Who are these schools supposed to serve, anyway? Thankfully, a legal loophole will allow the school to fire and rehire the student workers. The truth is that Illinois’ head honchos of higher education for years took state and federal dollars and spent them not on student needs, but on their own desires. And then they hiked tuition. If these institutions had spent their money wisely, the whole state would benefit from new talent flocking to Illinois. But we know that’s not happening. Thankfully, some universities seem to be taking smart steps to reduce costs, such as eliminating programs that overlap with similar public colleges and right-sizing payrolls. But the priority problem still remains. And tuition costs are still rising. “I don’t appreciate the people who have fixed the system to make it impossible for someone wanting to better themselves through higher education, and yet they get things like automatic raises every year,” Sorce said. “Not to say people don’t deserve good pay and benefits, but when it’s on my dollar, I should have a say.”

Joni Sorce feels conned. Her daughter graduated from Illinois State University in 2014. They now share more than $60,000 in debt. Sorce’s youngest daughter will graduate high school this spring, but her family can’t afford another degree from the Land of Lincoln. She’s looking for opportunity elsewhere. “You have to be in the upper class or in poverty to be able to afford a good four-year college in Illinois,” Sorce said. She and her husband are self-employed in Streator. “The middle gets weeded out.” Meanwhile, nearly 100 ISU administrators take home more than $100,000 annually, according to the most recent data from the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Higher education is about students’ pursuit of knowledge, but Illinois universities have sought more material ends: Richer administrative payrolls, multimillion-dollar pension payouts and other reckless spending choices have been the norm for years. This has led to rapidly rising tuition costs that restrict college access for too many families, not to mention legacy costs that crowd out scarce dollars for young scholars. So those families send their students elsewhere. And many don’t come back. Illinois has been losing the border war for young talent since at least the turn of the century, likely losing more than 150,000 students on net to

U.S., global partners wrestle over trade stance By DAVID McHUGH The Associated Press
BADEN-BADEN, Germany – Top finance officials including new U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are debating what stance to take on free trade at a meeting that will help set the tone for the global economy. The gathering of finance ministers and central bank heads from the Group of 20 countries has focused on shifting attitudes toward trade, particularly after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to impose border taxes and rewrite free trade deals he said have shortchanged the U.S. Mnuchin has said trade needs to be “fair,” which would be a step back from the group’s previous blanket condemnation of trade barriers. Attention at the two-day meeting in the German spa town of Baden-Baden has centered on a joint statement that is being prepared for Saturday. Early drafts have dropped an earlier ban on protectionism, but there was no agreement on what would replace it, said officials who briefed reporters Friday on the condition of anonymity because the talks were ongoing. The meeting’s host, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, told reporters that the discussion was about “the right formulation regarding the openness of the world economy.” The last such gathering, in July 2016 in Chengdu, China, issued a strong statement in favor of free trade, saying “we will resist all forms of protectionism.” Possible replacements in-

German Federal Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble (left) and U.S. Finance Minister, Steven Mnuchin interact during a joint news conference Thursday in Berlin, Germany. The U.S. and German finance chiefs said they’re ready to cooperate and avoid “trade wars,” playing down in their first meeting the tensions that have grown globally over commerce since the new U.S. administration came to power. clude support for “fairness.” Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, downplayed differences over the exact language. The OECD is one of several international organizations invited to participate in the meeting. Gurria told The Associated Press it was “important to create a comfort zone” where leaders could have their first discussions with the new administration, “to make them feel that this is a place where we can talk, we can
ventilate the areas where we have common ground and the areas where we may have differences.” European countries and others that depend on exports, such as China, were said to be pushing for a stronger statement in favor of trade with fewer tariffs and other barriers in a rulebased system. The gathering 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 G-20 is an informal forum on
economic cooperation made up of 19 countries with more than 80 percent of the world economy, plus the European Union. The finance ministers’ meeting will pave the way for a summit of national leaders July 7-8 in Hamburg, Germany. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that the U.S. needs a tougher approach to trade that would put American workers and companies first. He has already 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. 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 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 scheduled to meet oneto-one with China’s Finance Minister Xiao Jie and central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan. 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.

French President Francois Hollande (center) waves Friday as he welcomes Prince William with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
British royals William and Kate visit Paris as Brexit looms PARIS – With Britain’s departure from the European Union looming, Prince William and his wife, Kate, kicked off a two-day visit to Paris on Friday by meeting French president Francois Hollande. The trip is William’s first official visit to the city since his mother died there. Hollande greeted the couple Friday afternoon in the courtyard of the Elysee Palace. They discussed the French-British relationship in the context of Britain’s forthcoming departure from the European Union. They also talked about the military operation against the Islamic State group in Syria, in which the two countries are allied, the French presidency said. On Saturday, the couple was scheduled to meet with victims and first responders from the deadly 2015 attacks on the Bataclan concert hall and other Paris sites. They also plan to attend a France-Wales rugby match. While the royal couple has visited France several times, it was William’s first official visit to Paris since his mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a 1997 car accident. The visit comes amid anxiety across Europe over Britain’s departure from the European Union. By the end of the month, British Prime Minister Theresa May plans to trigger the two-year process that would take Britain out of the EU. In a speech Friday at the British Embassy, Prince William said the “deep friendship between the United Kingdom and France, forged in sweat and blood, is one that will endure.”

A bright idea
This comfy, cushioned cubby is an inviting, cozy workspace By BETH J. HARPAZ

The Associated Press
t’s a quiet but cozy workspace, designed to promote focus and creativity while providing an alternative to a traditional desk or office. It’s also a bright pink cubby covered in comfy cushions. The pink seating is the brainchild of Karen Bala, Jen Taylor and Michelle Bristol of Dyer Brown, an architectural firm. It was one element of Dyer Brown’s Boston office space design for Criteo, a tech company that works with retailers to personalize online ads for consumers. The cubbies are “a very welcoming, inviting space that you want to be in,” Taylor said. “As people spend more time in the office, comfort is a priority. Creating these informal amenity spaces that replicate the comforts of home can help companies attract and retain talent.”
The comfy cubbies – three in all – are located in a lounge area. Each consists of a rectangular space recessed into a wood-paneled wall. The front of the cubbies are open but the top, sides, floor and back are lined with pink foam bolsters covered with FilzFelt, a type of felt. The soft materials increase comfort and absorb sound. The bold color contrasts with the cozy vibe, and ties in with “the energy and excitement” of the company’s fun, young office culture, Taylor said. “The rest of their office is heavily packed with work stations,” Bristol said. “We wanted to make sure that this worked with their office culture of being very vibrant and energetic.” The color – actually a magenta – matches a hue in some of the company’s branding documents. And there was no concern pink might be off-putting to men: “We’ve seen the trend move away from pink as a gender-specific color,” Taylor said.
Each nook has a single overhead light fixture but no electric outlet. “We wanted it to be an unplugged zone,” Bristol said. “We wanted them to use it for heads-down work, where someone has to write something or make a phone call.” Employees do take laptops in the cubbies, but the lack of outlets helps “keep the spaces open so nobody is hogging them,” Taylor said. The feedback, they said, was extremely positive, with workers telling them, “I want to try it out! I want to be in that place!” How could the concept be adapted for home design? A simple reinterpretation would be to cushion a window seat or convert a closet by removing a door and adding a bench. An unused corner, or space between furniture and a wall, also might work. Do-it-yourselfers might consider building a pod-like structure with plastic or wooden panels. Wrapping the material in foam and fabric for comfort and sound insu-
lation would be key to maintaining the cozy aesthetics. Bright colors work well in a kid’s bedroom or playroom, lending a sense of energy even if the cubby is designed to be more of a quiet spot. Calmer colors might work best in a home office, especially if the space is intended to help users disconnect a bit from technology so they can dig into a book or craft. An inexpensive stick-on light easily could illuminate the space. Dimensions will depend on the intended user and available space. The office cubbies are 3½ feet deep, 4 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Cushioning the space is important, not just for comfort and mood, but also to increase the quiet. Bristol said even in an office with hundreds of employees, the padding muted background noise. In a home environment, a quiet nook could promote concentration on a task like doing the taxes or organizing recipes, even if kids were playing nearby in a family room.
LISA FABOR Hometown: Woodstock Year you became a Master Gardener: 2013
thornless blackberries, and, recently, I have added grapes and hops. I also have a shade garden and a community garden I share with my next-door neighbor. What motivated you to become a Master Gardener? What projects do you volunteer for within the organization? A good friend was signing up for the University of Illinois Extension class and encouraged me to do the same. I have learned so much and realize there is so much more to learn. The class instructors, speakers, field trips and continuing education opportunities are incredible. We are so lucky to have this organization through the University of Illinois-Champaign.

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening? Growing up in St. Louis, my family spent weekends at my grandparent’s farm, where my brothers and I would play in the woods and fish in the pond. I love the outdoors and spent summers growing up at a YMCA camp in the Ozarks, as a camp counselor and later as specialty camp director. I have worked travel camps with such expeditions as climbing Mt. Rainier and whitewater rafting, and was a canoe guide in the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota. I always have enjoyed the outdoors, and now gardening has become a new focus. What is your gardening specialty and why? I love berries! I love discover-
ing wild patches of berries and creating jams and jellies. It is relaxing for me to be outside for hours in the quiet, gathering berries. After making small batches of jams for friends and family, I was fortunate enough to connect with Ethereal Confections in Woodstock, and my business, Sunshine In A Jar, was born. I utilize local fruit from McHenry County and the Midwest. While I still pick wild berries, I also work with local farmers in the area. Who would have guessed McHenry County was such a fruit mecca? I now am growing veggies for a pepper jam and herbs in my garden to enhance the fruit flavors of my jams. What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it. My garden usually has green peppers, jalapenos, rhubarb, cilantro, basil, tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchinis. Fruit crops are raspberries, black raspberries,

I loved volunteering at the fairgrounds, teaching grade schoolers about the monarch butterflies. Otherwise I volunteer at Gardenfest, Gardenwalk and the Farm Stroll. There are so many opportunities and fun people to meet, the time always flies. What tips do you have for someone who is just getting started, either with their own garden or in training to become a Master Gardener? My advice in starting a garden is that location and soil are very important. And to have fun with it! If something doesn’t work out in one spot, it might do better in another. Gardening can be forgiving. Each year, we get to try all over again for a healthier more abundant crop. Nothing tastes better than something fresh from your own garden!

Tech can help you get moving Dear Doctor: I’m having trouble keeping my New Year’s resolution to get more exercise, and one of my co-workers swears that an activity tracker or an exercise app will help me stay focused. What are they, exactly, and why would they work? Dear Reader: First, let us reassure you that you’re not alone. By deciding to exercise more, you’ve committed to creating a new habit, and that’s always a challenge. There’s the honeymoon phase, when you’re buoyed by elation and optimism, and when getting out every day for a walk or a run or a trip to the gym is a snap. However, this is often followed by a period of struggle as reality sets in. No matter the scope of the goal, you’ve committed to a process that moves gradually, in increments, and requires consistent willpower. Suddenly, finding an excuse to skip that yoga class is all too easy. But take heart. For those who don’t give up, who power through the disruption and uncertainty that a new activity can bring, there comes a magic moment. Suddenly, the new behavior has become second nature. It’s a habit, a part of your life. For those who decide to make exercise a new habit, an activity tracker or an exercise app can make that difficult middle phase bearable. They help you set a goal, track your progress and keep a diary of your effort. A recent study found that 75 percent of the participants who used an exercise app said they were more active. They also reported a drop in their BMI, or body mass index. Depending on the product, you can track your heart rate, calories burned, distance you have run and the number of steps taken in a day. Some apps and devices help you with food choices and let you log your food intake. Dive deep into the technology, and you’ll find devices that
SUDOKU
ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier can offer feedback on the duration and quality of your sleep. As to specifics, a fitness app is simply a program that you download onto your smartphone. You can use it to log information about your workouts and, depending on the app, receive data that tells you how well you’re doing in achieving your goals. Some popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal, are free. Fitness apps are highly personal. They help you stay aware of what you’re eating, how much you’re moving and whether you’re improving. Your long-term goal is to exercise more. What an app can do is provide enough detail to set daily goals. It can make incremental progress interesting and even fun, which is both the heart and challenge of creating a new habit. An activity tracker, like the popular Fitbit, is basically an exercise app that you wear. It uses sensors to detect your movement and, with an algorithm, translates the raw data into statistics about your progress. You then download the data onto your computer to use as you wish. Whether you choose an app for your smartphone or the wearable tech of a fitness tracker, what you’re getting is a helpful blend of coach, trainer and cheerleader. • Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.

The one thing you SHOULDN’T do in a misguided effort to “protect” your friend is to remain silent. When someone threatens suicide, it is time to act. You should absolutely tell your parents everything you know so they can inform her parents. If your parents are hesitant to do that, confide in a trusted teacher or counselor at school so your friend can get the help she appears to desperately need. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s toll-free number is 800-273-8255. Please share it with your friend. But if she tells you again that she has injured herself, call 911. Dear Abby: I have a 23-year-old stepson who continues to bully my wife into taking care of him. She recently helped him to buy a home, even though she knew his current earnings would not be enough to cover his car, insurance, phone, cable, etc. He continues to make his problems ours. He called yesterday telling his mom he needs brakes. We already pay his insurance on the vehicle and other small, unexpected bills. Oh, and by the way, he has a baby on the way. I have tried repeatedly to talk to my wife about enabling him, but she refuses to see that she is keeping him dependent. What can I say or do to help her get on the right path? – Man-Child Problems Dear Problems: Ideally, spouses are supposed to agree before spending large amounts of community assets. Marriage counseling might help you to get through to her. But if it doesn’t, consider consulting a lawyer about protecting your assets. I agree that your wife is enabling her son, and she’s not doing him any favors in the long run. However, if the money she’s giving him is her own, you can’t stop her from doing it. Dear Abby: We live down the street from my boyfriend’s mother. Our 3-year-old daughter spends a few hours there while I’m at work and her dad is running errands. My daughter loves her grandparents, so I don’t mind her spending time with them. The problem I have is, my boyfriend’s mother repeats everything I say to my daughter right after I say it when I ask her to do something! It drives me crazy. My boyfriend tells me to say something to her, but I have no idea what to say. Please help. – Echoed in Alaska Dear Echoed: Stop complaining. At least your mother-in-law agrees with you and reinforces what you tell your daughter. Consider it a small price you pay for free baby-sitting.

I’m 13, and I’m writing you about my best friend. Her life at home has always sucked, but now it has reached a new level. Her grandmother is no longer paying for her tuition, her parents verbally abuse her and yesterday she attempted suicide. Luckily, she called me and I talked her through it. I don’t know how to help her. I can’t talk to her parents because they’ll be no help, but I don’t know what will happen if I tell my parents. Please help me. – Needs Answers in

HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST
Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Easy come, easy go. Be extremely cautious regarding financial matters. Don’t spend money you don’t have or take risks with what you do have. You’ll be taken advantage of if you let someone handle your affairs. Protect your heart and possessions. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t think that someone else can do a better job than you. You will lose out if you sell yourself short. You can find a way to excel if you show a little backbone. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Settle any unfinished business regarding your taxes, investments or health issues. Discuss personal plans with a
loved one. A commitment can be made. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Emotional disillusionment will develop if you trust someone to take care of your responsibilities. Do the work yourself and avoid any backlash that might affect your reputation or an important relationship. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotional matters will escalate. Get a clear picture of what’s going on around you before you take action. Time is on your side. Focus on improving important relationships. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Self-deception and disillusionment will set in if you choose inconsistency over stability. Moderation will help you maintain emotional and financial control.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Travel, excitement and adventure will call to you. Turn your day into a celebration with a loved one or the people who bring you joy. Romance is encouraged. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Problems at home will escalate if you make changes without the approval of those affected by your decisions. Consider the best way to get things done without causing a rift. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A short trip geared toward love and romance will bring you closer to someone special. You’ll learn something valuable from the experience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Reconnect with old friends or dig up old plans you’d set aside but still want to pursue. Taking a walk down
memory lane will help you move forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Listen to the words and desires of others, but don’t let anyone limit or burden you with problems that shouldn’t concern you. Positive personal or domestic changes are favored. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You may feel obliged to help others, but before you take on a heavy burden, make sure you know what you are getting into and what you will get for your kindness and generosity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Stick to the truth and don’t make assumptions. Personal change based on the lessons of experience will turn out well. Don’t let anyone take you for granted or bully you.

PRAYER to the BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known to Fail)
Jessiqua Wittman, in her book “A Memoir of Love,” wrote: “Information can be such a double-edged sword.” That is true at the bridge table. While you and your partner are bidding, sensible opponents will be interpreting your calls. But if you are always in the correct contract, you will be impossible to beat. In today’s deal, look at the West hand. What should West lead against four hearts? In the bidding, North was right to respond one diamond, not one heart. With a game-going hand, bid the longest suit first. North-South might have even belonged in seven diamonds for all North knew at that point. Then, when South rebid one heart, North was worth a slam suggestion. By far his best rebid was four clubs, a splinter (yes, even in opener’s first-bid suit) showing four-card heart support, at least game-going values and a singleton (or void) in clubs. South, with so much wasted in clubs, signed off in four hearts. (But if South had had, say, five low clubs, he would have headed for six or seven hearts.) What should West lead? He knows that dummy is coming down with five or more diamonds, because with 4-4 in the reds, North would probably have responded one heart, not one diamond. Also, leading a side suit bid by an opponent is rarely best. Since a trump or a club rates not to be effective, West should choose the spade two, guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit. East should confidently put in the spade jack, cash the spade ace, lead a third spade and wait for a heart trick to defeat the contract.
Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none which can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (three times) Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you.

CL South plays powerful Loyola team even after 1st period By JOE STEVENSON
joestevenson@shawmedia.com BENSENVILLE – Crystal Lake South took some consolation from playing Loyola Maroon, one of the state’s top hockey programs, fairly even on the scoreboard for the final two periods. The hole from the first period, however, was too much for the Gators, who fell to Loyola, 6-1, in the AHAI Blackhawk Cup White Division State Tournament championship Friday at The Edge Ice Arena. “They came out flying, moving the puck,” South right wing Eric Helm said. “That’s the thing about one of the bigger programs like that, they all know how to move the puck. Just the knowledge of the game sets them apart.” Loyola (41-10-7) also was motivated after finishing as runner-up in the past two White Division state tournaments. The Ramblers jumped to a 4-0 first-period advantage and outshot
South, 45-19, for the game. “It was the toughest challenge all year,” said Gators goalie Josh Albrecht, who had 39 saves. “We tried to keep up. We came back a little bit, but they were the better team. Overall, it was a hard night, but it was great.” The Gators (26-17-1) appreciated a boisterous crowd that came out to support them. South has made it to the White Division state title game only twice, with 2000 being the other time. “The first period we had some jitters and didn’t play particularly well,” said Gators left wing Mike Helm, who scored their lone goal. “The second and third we started playing well.” Mike Helm scored early in the second off his brother Eric’s assist, and the Gators did not allow another goal until the final minute of the third period. “Josh started standing on his head, we played better defense, got the puck out of the zone and started generating more chances,” Eric Helm said. The Gators lost in the first round
of the White Division tournament last season and played with 11 skaters, a relatively small number. “They put the puck in the net on every opportunity they had (in the first),” Gators coach Rich Perillo said. “We missed a couple open nets, that’s really the turn of the first period. They were feeding their points and had a guy in the high slot tipping the puck. Josh couldn’t see it. Josh played fantastic the whole state tournament.” Ramblers coach Blake Sorensen felt his team set a good pace of the game with its pressure early. “That came from their desire, we wanted to finish the season on a high,” Sorensen said. “It’s great to come here. The memories of the last game (when you win), no one ever remembers second place. It’s extra special for our kids. It’s an exciting time.” South, however, hardly seemed sad with second. “It was amazing,” Mike Helm said. “Just making it here was great, and the fans, that was really cool, too.”
OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO Josh Albrecht
Crystal Lake South, sr., G
Loyola peppered Albrecht with 45 shots on goal in its 6-1 victory, but the senior goalie kept things from getting worse with his work in the second and third periods. Loyola led, 4-0, after the first and Albrecht finished with 39 saves.
q THE NUMBER
11
Skaters for South compared to Loyola’s 18. “That’s a big advantage,” Gators coach Rich Perillo said. “All they have to do is dump the puck in and chase it and tire us out.”
q AND ANOTHER THING ...
Albrecht was stunned and wobbly for a few moments with 3 minutes remaining in the game after taking a slap shot off the right side of his helmet. There was no stop in play for another 30 seconds. Finally, the trainer examined him for a couple minutes and he was able to finish.
CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL FOOTBALL
“There was nothing out there that was better for me than Northwestern. I just was like, ‘What am I waiting for?’ ”
By SEAN HAMMOND
shammond@shawmedia.com
Wyatt Blake
Crystal Lake Central offensive lineman
H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com
Crystal Lake Central lineman Wyatt Blake (left) and his father, Jason Blake, listen to a question from the news media Friday at Central’s library after Wyatt announced he will attend Northwestern. his decision May 15, his mother’s birthday. But after all the visits to campuses and talks with coaches, he had his mind made up. “There was nothing out there that was better for me than Northwestern,” Blake said. “I just was like, ‘What am I waiting for?’ ” The 6-foot-3 lineman is listed as a three-star offensive lineman by Scout.com and a four-star lineman by 247sports.com. 247sports’ composite ranking places him as the sixth-best recruit in the state of Illinois and 34th-best offensive tackle in the country. Last football season, he weighed more than 300 pounds but cut down to
285 during wrestling season. He said Northwestern coaches want him to stay around 285. The recruiting process started for him as a freshman when MaxPreps named him to its 2014 freshman All-America team. He received his first scholarship offer as a sophomore. In 2016, he was one bright spot in a difficult 2-7 season for Central. Tigers coach Jon McLaughlin went with Blake to a Northwestern bowl practice in December, and after that visit McLaughlin had a hunch Northwestern was going to be the one. “Knowing his family and how close and tight they are, the educa-
tion he’s going to get at Northwestern, it seemed like a natural fit,” McLaughlin said. “It seemed like every other week we were having someone from Northwestern coming through to keep in touch with him.” Blake said he hasn’t decided what he will major in yet. He becomes Northwestern’s seventh commitment in the class of 2018. The Wildcats are coming off back-to-back winning seasons, including a win in the Pinstripe Bowl in December. Spoden and McLaughlin both thought Blake was a good fit for Northwestern’s style of play. Blake said he liked the energy from Fitzgerald. “He’s pretty vibrant,” Blake said. “He’s pretty outgoing and he’s really involved in practice. He’s a straight shooter. I trust him.” For now, however, the focus can turn toward his senior season at Central. “I’m just happy to be done,” Blake said. “It’s a really good feeling. I was a little nervous before, but the weight’s off my chest.”
McHENRY BOYS BASKETBALL
Paddock resigns as coach after 18-win season By JOE STEVENSON
joestevenson@shawmedia.com Tim Paddock will miss the relationships and interaction with his McHenry coaches and players the most. Paddock, who was the Warriors’ boys basketball coach for the past 13 years, resigned that position this week. Paddock told his players about his plans Friday, a couple of weeks after McHenry had its best season (18-12) during his tenure. Paddock cited the driving distance from his home in Geneva as the biggest factor in his decision. His wife, Jennifer, works in Downers Grove, so they moved to Geneva four years ago to help split the driving distance.
“The first nine years here we lived about 2 miles from school, and Jennifer drove about an hour to work,” Paddock said. “I don’t mind the drive, it’s 35 miles, it takes an hour, but in basketball season I leave at 5:45 in the morning and get home between 8 and 10 four nights a week. It Tim Paddock was starting to wear on me.” McHenry was 144-222 in his 13 seasons, with Class 4A regional titles in 2009 and 2012. He came to McHenry before the 2004-05 school year after coaching seven years at Peru St. Bede. “I received his letter on Monday
of his intention to step down from the Warrior basketball program,” McHenry athletic director Barry Burmeister said in a news release. “We wanted to wait to announce it until he had the chance to inform his staff and players. Coach Paddock’s teams will always be remembered for their hard work and their signature tough defense.” Paddock will remain at the school in his driver education teaching position. He is leaving a team that could be one of the best in the Fox Valley Conference next season, led by Gavin Markgraff, Maki Mohr and Gio Calabrese. “It’s never an easy thing to do,” Paddock said. “The most important thing, over the years, is I think if you asked the coaches we played, we were prepared,
we played hard and we played the right way.” Paddock occasionally grew emotional, to the point of tears, after big victories. “It was because I knew how hard they had worked to accomplish their goals,” Paddock said. “I’ll miss the relationships. I appreciate the opportunity I was given. I’ll miss the daily interaction with the coaches and players, just watching guys accomplish something they didn’t think they could accomplish. “There were some good times in there. We played in four regional championships and won two of them. The last two years, I think we were the third-best team in the Fox Valley, behind two pretty good ones, Jacobs and Prairie Ridge.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Steve Spoden saw it coming years ago. When Crystal Lake Central offensive lineman Wyatt Blake was 11, Spoden coached him with the Crystal Lake Raiders youth football program. Spoden, Central’s current offensive line coach, told Blake’s parents he thought Wyatt would play Division I football. Spoden said the Blakes “looked at me like I had three heads.” A few years and 14 scholarship offers later, Spoden’s prophecy is coming true. Central’s junior lineman committed to play football at Northwestern for coach Pat Fitzgerald on Friday in front of friends, family and teammates at the Central library. Three other hats lay on the table: Minnesota, Missouri and Virginia. In the end, it was the black and purple Northwestern visor atop his head, to go along with a green Northwestern T-shirt in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. “Coach Fitz told me to get this one,” Blake said of the shamrock-laden Wildcats shirt. “And I can’t upset the big man.” Blake said he has known for three weeks Northwestern was his choice. In addition to his top four choices, he also had scholarship offers from Boston College, Central Michigan, Duke, Indiana, Kansas State, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Toledo and Vanderbilt. He originally planned to announce

where their opponent’s school is located. Fortunately, Triano had access to one of those Google machines. “He was like, ‘I think it’s in Chicago,’ and I was like, ‘Really?’ ” Melson said. “I didn’t know anything about Northwestern, honestly.”
VIEWS Steve Greenberg SALT LAKE CITY – Just how large is Gonzaga center Przemek Karnowski? Let’s put it this way: He’s large enough to offer a 7-foot, 300-pound man his hand-me-downs. And large enough, it seems, to feel no need to at least pretend to care about Northwestern’s feel-good NCAA tournament story. “I don’t really care,” he said, pulling off perhaps the world’s most gigantic sock at his locker after the Zags’ Friday practice. “We’ll play against any team. Whatever story they have, we’re going to play our game.” To the naked eye, Gonzaga’s game appears to be not losing. The West Region’s No. 1 seed has successfully executed that strategy in 33 of 34 outings this season. Remember that if Karnowski, a senior from Poland, rag-dolls Northwestern’s undersized front line in Saturday’s second-round matchup. Also, remember this: The man-mountain might not be standing if it weren’t for a Northwestern graduate. He missed all but five games of his sophomore season because of unbearable pain in his lower back. He couldn’t work out, could hardly bend over. But Dr. John Shuster of Spokane, Washington, home of the Zags, performed the surgery that saved Karnowski’s career. Shuster texted Karnowski on Friday morning and asked which team he was supposed to root for. “Easy answer,” Karnowski said. “Your guy from Gonzaga.” STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT It wasn’t so long ago that the average college basketball fan knew nothing of
COULD’VE BEEN A BIG SHOT So much of the talk since Northwestern’s opening victory over Vanderbilt has been about the mistake committed by the Commodores’ Matthew Fisher-Davis, who purposely fouled Bryant McIntosh in the waning moments even though Fisher-Davis’ team was leading by a point. No doubt, Vandy blew it. But the Wildcats did a lot of things right in the first tourney game in school history. “Yeah, it does give us extra motivation that everyone wants to talk about the foul,” senior forward Sanjay Lumpkin said. “Everyone wants to talk about the foul, but they don’t want to talk about the plays we made down the AP photo stretch.” Gonzaga center Przemek Karnowski (left) fights for the ball with South Dakota State forThe foul happened with 15 seconds to ward Mike Daum during a first-round NCAA tournament game Thursday in Salt Lake City. play.

TULSA, Okla. – Nick Ward scored 19 points to help Michigan State atone for last season’s early NCAA tournament disappointment with an opening-round 78-58 victory over Miami on Friday night. The ninth-seeded Spartans (20-14) trailed by as many 12 points in the first half before blitzing past the stunned Hurricanes (21-12) the rest of the way, using a 20-2 first half run to take control for good. Ward made his first six shots and finished 8 of 9 from the field, while Miles Bridges was 8 of 12 and added 18 points in the win. Joshua Langford had 13 points for Michigan State. Ja’Quan Newton scored 16 points to lead Miami. Michigan 92, Oklahoma St. 91: At Indianapolis, Derrick Walton Jr. scored 26 points and Michigan made 16 3-pointers to hold off Oklahoma State in the first round of the Midwest Regional. The seventh-seeded Wolverines (25-11) set a school record for 3s in an NCAA tournament game. They have won six straight – five since a frightening plane mishap on the way to last week’s Big Ten Tournament. Juwan Evans scored 23 points to lead the 10th-seeded Cowboys (20-13), who finished the season with four consecutive losses. It looked like that streak might end Friday after Oklahoma State opened the second half on a 12-5 run to take a 52-46 lead. But Michigan charged back with a relentless 3-point barrage, taking a 62-61 lead on Walton’s 3 with 12:26 left.

Fanter part of historic St. Xavier season ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Losing the NAIA Division II national championship basketball game Tuesday didn’t make Chanel Fanter overly emotional. Saying goodbye to the people who helped Fanter and Saint Xavier University’s women’s basketball team to a historic season was a different story. “I didn’t cry because we lost,” said Fanter, a freshman forward for the third-ranked Cougars, who suffered a 66-52 defeat to No. 4 Marian University. “I cried when I started hugging the seniors because that’s the last time I’ll ever play with them. That was the moment that got me.” Fanter, a Crystal Lake South graduate, started 36 games this season on a team with five seniors. The Cougars (34-3) set a school record for wins in a season and made SXU’s first appearance in a national title game and a Final Four. “These memories will always be there,” said Fanter, who averaged 9.1 points and 4.2 rebounds a game. “It will be a hard team to beat in the years to come.” The Cougars won 16 consecutive games before the national final, when they were outscored, 24-6, in the third quarter by Marian (35-3). “It’s a little deflating,” said Fanter, who had four points and four rebounds in the title game. “We just got a little burned out, and things weren’t falling like they usually did for us.” Playing five games over six nights in the national tournament at Sioux City, Iowa, Saint Xavier won its first three games by an average of 28.3 points. Fanter averaged 13 points a game in the first three victories for a team that boasts junior guard Kara Krolicki, the NAIA Player of the Year and a 21.5-points-a-game scorer. Senior guard

Crystal Lake South grad Chanel Fanter helped St. Xavier’s women’s basketball program to its first NAIA championship game appearance Tuesday. The Cougars lost the title to Marian University, 66-52. Mikayla Leyden (12.5 average) was a third-team All-American, and junior center Brittany Collins (14.6 points, 10.8 rebounds) was an honorable mention selection. “Our team is so offensively strong,” Fanter said. “It’s hard to stop all five of us unless we’re having a really off day.” Because of the attention defenses paid to Krolicki, Leyden and Collins, more offensive opportunities often came about for Fanter and fellow freshman starter Maddie Welter. “People obviously scout Kara, Mikayla and Brittany more heavily because they have such a big impact on our team,” Fanter said. “For me and Maddie, teams tend to overlook us.” Fanter took advantage with 16 points in SXU’s second-round victory against Friends University, her second-highest point total of the season. Along with a talented roster, Fanter enjoyed the program’s strong camaraderie.
“This is the funnest team I’ve ever played on,” Fanter said. “We’re always together. Other teams at school probably find us super obnoxious because of that. But we’re like a family. They’re all my sisters.” Borst’s bat leads Beavers: Minot (North Dakota) State sophomore Michael Borst, a McHenry West grad, is leading all NCAA Division II baseball players this week in batting average (.700) and on-base percentage (.727) through the season’s first five games. Borst, who is playing right field and designated hitter, has four multi-hit games, an .850 slugging percentage, three doubles and five RBIs for Minot (3-2). In a three-game series at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis last weekend, Borst was 10 for 13 with four RBIs, including a 4-for-4 game in a 4-0 victory against Concordia University St. Paul.

Wie in contention again
PHOENIX – Michelle Wie shot a 5-under-par 67 on Friday to enter the weekend a stroke behind leaders Stacy Lewis and Ariya Jutanugarn in the Bank of Hope Founders Cup. Winless in 62 events since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open, Wie is coming off a fourthplace tie two weeks ago in Singapore. Lewis and Jutanugarn each shot a 67 to reach 13 under in the tournament that broke the LPGA Tour record for the lowest 36-hole cut at 5 under.

12 WIZARDS 112, BULLS 107
Life without Wade starts with ‘L’ By JOE COWLEY
WIZARDS 112, BULLS 107
jcowley@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – There actually was fight in the second half. Even a sense of urgency. The idea that life without Dwyane Wade would be a lot more of Paul Zipser than anyone really wanted to see, and a team fading into the offseason, well, that just wasn’t a case for the Bulls on Friday night. But in the end, moral victories don’t mean squat when it comes to the NBA playoff race in mid-March. Jimmy Butler missed what would have been a game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds, as the Bulls (32-37) remained on the outside looking in for the Eastern Conference playoffs, as well as losers of seven of their past eight games, falling to Washington, 112-107. And even with the Bulls outscoring the Wizards (42-26) the entire second half, it didn’t change the fact that there remained underlying problems with this team understanding 48 minutes of winning basketball. “We were just lazy,’’ Butler said of the first half of basketball they displayed. “And I hate this word – and soft. I hate it. But that’s exactly what we were. They beat us to every 50-50 ball, whooped our tail in transition and we turned the ball over. All of the things we talked about all

year long, we replayed in that first half. And then we decided to play some better basketball.” Possibly with some coaxing from Fred Hoiberg. The second-year coach “challenged” his players at halftime, and admittedly challenged them “loudly.” Although it usually is not in Hoiberg’s
character to yell at his players, a first half in which the Bulls turned the ball over 12 times and were outrebounded 27-23 was not going to go unchecked by the coach. Butler acknowledged that Hoiberg raised the volume at halftime, and although he didn’t mind it, he also said the players knew exactly what they failed to do. “Yeah we notice when it’s out of character, but loud or not, we’re the ones out there playing,’’ Butler said. “We know what we’re doing. He can come in here and not say anything and we know what we’re supposed to be doing. You don’t
gotta yell. We are grown men. We know how we dug ourselves a hole, what we weren’t doing. We’ve been doing it all year. He didn’t have to come in here and yell. He did. Maybe he hit a switch. “We played better in the second half. Hopefully he doesn’t have to yell anymore and we start playing better from the jump.’’ But that’s the problem with this Bulls team. Inconsistency from half-to-half, game-to-game is their calling card. Until they can fix that and bottle what they did in the second half – especially with Wade (right elbow) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season – it’s all talk. Butler did finish with 28 points, while the Wizards’ John Wall had 14 points and a career-best 20 assists, and now it’s about what the Bulls can do with 13 games left. “That’s all we can do is hope,” Butler said, when asked if there could be a carryover from the second half. “I don’t see that we learned our lesson from doing it over and over again, digging ourselves a hole, fighting back, making it a game. If you don’t put yourself in that position from the jump, it’s a whole different game overall. “What’s crazy is we’ve done that all year long. I figure that we’d get tired of it. But I don’t know. I guess we like playing that way.”
SPRING TRAINING: CUBS 7, WHITE SOX 3 (GLENDALE, ARIZ.) Cubs notes CROSSTOWN STATEMENT Kyle Schwarber’s three-run homer in the third inning Friday gave the Cubs the lead, and left-hander Rob Zastryzny took over at that point with three innings of scoreless relief as the Cubs won the second meeting between the crosstown rivals this spring. The teams tied, 4-4, in their first meeting. SCHWARBOMBING The lefty slugger’s homer off left-hander Derek Holland was a mammoth shot well beyond the wall in right field and over the bullpen. It was his second homer of the spring. He also singled home a run off Holland in the fifth. THE RIGHT STUFF Schwarber made his first start of the spring in right field, in large part to get him acclimated for the few times he might play there during the season in parks where left field is more spacious and less forgiving (such as Pittsburgh). CENTER OF ATTENTION Right-fielder Jason Heyward got a day in cen-
White Sox notes ter with the Schwarber move. A major storyline of the spring because of his efforts to fix the swing that led to his worst offensive performance of his career in 2016, Heyward lined to right, grounded to second and struck out in three at-bats. He’s 5 for 35 this spring (.143). ARRIETA HEATS UP Jake Arrieta made his scheduled start Friday in a minor-league game against Los Angeles Angels Triple-A players, throwing 75 pitches in five innings, with six strikeouts and three walks. The only hit allowed was a two-out single to the last batter he faced, at which point the inning was called. He said he used all his pitches and especially liked the command and effectiveness of his curve ball.” ON DECK (Split squad doubleheader) Team Japan (of WBC) at Cubs, 3:05 p.m. Saturday, Mesa, Arizona, cubs.com audio, John Lackey vs. TBA; Cubs at Brewers, 3:05 p.m. Saturday, Maryvale, Arizona, AM-670, Jake Buchanan vs. Junior Guerra

ROUGH START FOR HOLLAND Left-hander Derek Holland breezed through the first seven batters in the Cubs’ regular lineup, then walked lefties Tommy La Stella and Jon Jay before the left-handed hitting Kyle Schwarber belted a three-run homer Friday. “I was upset with the lefties, two walks,’’ said Holland, who was charged with six runs on four hits and three walks. Other than that, Holland was OK with his outing, in which he allowed six runs on four hits and three walks. “This is spring, this is where we work on stuff. Once the games hit it’s a different animal,’’ he said.
Soto took me under his wing today,’’ Kopech said. “I came out there and the first thing he said was ‘Let’s have fun. Let’s get after it.’ The way he was calling pitches and aggressive with me behind the plate, that made me more aggressive toward hitters.’’ Kopech, 20, likely will start the season at Class A Winston-Salem. He has 11 strikeouts in six innings this spring. Yoan Moncada, one of the other prospects in the Sale deal, singled in his only at-bat and scored. Moncada, who homered twice in his previous game, raised his average to .265.
SPECIAL K The Sox’s Michael Kopech, one of the prospects acquired in the Chris Sale trade, struck out five in two innings of scoreless, one-hit ball. Among Kopech’s victims: Jason Heyward, La Stella, Jay and Ian Happ. The Cubs brought the first sellout crowd for the Sox at Camelback and Kopech fed off the energy. “It was the way that (catcher Geovany)
