WikiLeaks: CIA hacked Apple devices in ways users can’t fix

By ANICK JESDANUN

The daily

TWEET @NWHerald

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – New documents from WikiLeaks point to an apparent CIA program to hack Apple’s iPhones and Mac computers using techniques that users couldn’t disable by resetting their devices.

Security experts said the exploits are plausible, but suggest they pose little threat to typical users. They said that many of the tricks are older – the iPhone hack involves the 3G model from 2008, for instance. The techniques also typically require physical access to devices, something the CIA would use only for targeted individuals, not a broader population.

“The most notable part of this latest WikiLeaks release is that it shows the CIA doing exactly what we pay them to – exploit specific targets with limited attacks to support our national interests,” said Rich Mogull, CEO of the security research firm Securosis.

Apple didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The CIA has not commented on the authenticity of this and earlier WikiLeaks revelations, but has previously said it complies with a legal prohibition against electronic surveillance “targeting individuals here at home, including our fellow Americans.” The agency declined further comment Thursday.

Document dump

The leaks Thursday come about two weeks after WikiLeaks published thousands of alleged CIA documents describing hacking tools it said the government employed to break into computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs from companies such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung.

The latest disclosures are much more focused and consist of only 12 documents, all involving Apple products. The documents describe techniques for rewriting devices’ firmware in ways that would maintain a hacker’s access even if a user resets a phone or computer to factory settings. Doing so wipes out all apps and the operating system and installs a clean version; it is an extreme measure sometimes used to deal with technical problems, but also is the sort of step that someone suspicious of surveillance might take when getting a brand-new phone.

A December 2008 document describes “NightSkies,” a tool apparently designed to target the iPhone 3G; the document claims it can retrieve files such as contact lists and call logs and

execute other commands. WikiLeaks suggested in a news release that the “CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.”

However, the document describes only how to install the malware on a “factory fresh” version of the 3G – specifically, the iPhone 3G running the 2.1 version of Apple’s operating system, both of which are now nine years old.

Caveats galore

But infecting all phones somewhere in the manufacturing process would be extremely difficult, Mogull said, especially given multiple layers of inspections conducted by Apple and its contractors. At most, he said, the CIA might have shipped a rogue phone individually to a target.

And although it’s possible that the CIA developed similar techniques for later iPhone models, Mogull said iPhones from the past few years have much greater security, including digital security certificates that cannot be overwritten. A flag would be raised during the setup process if certificates do not match.

Johannes Ullrich, director of the Internet Storm Center at the SANS Institute, said NightSkies might not even be a current project given that the document was last updated in 2008, while the leaks appear to have come in 2016.

Other documents released describe similar exploits for Mac computers. One hides in the firmware of Apple’s Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter and requires someone to plug in that adapter to install the malware. Another targets a specific Mac model, the MacBook Air with the Leopard version of the Mac OS system – current at the time, but now seven generations old.

Ullrich said the Mac exploits all appear old.

GAINING CONTROL

County’s largest high school district could be up for grabs

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A slate of three unionbacked candidates running for spots on the Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 Board faces competition from two incumbents and a slate of four candidates who have promised to cut property taxes.

With nine candidates running for four open seats on the school board, control of McHenry County’s largest high school district could be up for grabs April 4 at the ballot box. The district oversees Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove high schools. It also is responsible for the alternative programs at the Haber Oaks campus in Cary. All told, the district serves 6,500 students taught by 376 teachers with an annual budget of about $97 million.

The candidates on the union slate are Ron Ludwig, Jason Blake and Nicole Pavoris. All three are supported by the union that represents district employees, including teachers. Devin Hester, president of the District 155 Education Association, said he wasn’t sure how much the political action committee has spent on the race. At the start of the year, the union’s political action committee had $5,190 in the bank, according to state records.

“Our slate is for academic excellence and fiscal responsibility,” Hester said. “Taxes are high. We don’t advocate raising taxes.”

He said the three candidates, if elected, would look for ways to cut spending that “are compatible with the district’s educational mission.”

Pavoris, a public school teacher, said the money the district spends is worth it.

“The educational product that D-155 pro-

vides is well worth the money being spent on it,” she said. “That being said, the board should always be looking for ways to more efficiently use the taxpayers’ money.”

On the other slate are candidates Donna Kurtz, Raphael Kamner, John Pletz and Scott Vetter. They have promised to reduce property taxes in the district while improving the schools. Kurtz said the first place she’d look to make cuts was the district’s administration. She said the number of administrators in the district has doubled in the past 10 years. Cutting teachers would be a last resort, she said.

Incumbents David Secrest and Ann Somers both said they were frustrated by high local property taxes. Neither promised to hold the levy flat or reduce property taxes.

Although the school board has held the district’s property tax levy flat for two years, that hasn’t necessarily translated into lower bills for residents.

“Unfortunately, there are long-term funding repercussions when we keep the tax levy flat, which we have done for the last two years, precisely to alleviate some of the tax burden on our community,” Somers said in response to campaign questions from the Northwest Herald. “When we do that, it translates into an accumulative funding loss to the district, so we have to make adjustments.”

On the board, Secrest said he had supported $6.5 million in property tax rebates in recent years.

The “cut taxes” slate is opposed to consolidating the district’s schools.

“I am not in favor of closing any of the high schools at this time,” Pletz said. “We must have engagement from all stakeholders before this decision is even considered. The economic fallout would probably preclude this from happening.”

The union slate wasn’t as firm on the issue. Both Ludwig and Blake said they were open to the idea of consolidation in light of the district’s declining enrollment, but said more information and community input would be needed before they could reach a decision. Pavoris said she doesn’t support consolidation and questioned the numbers used in a consultant report on the matter.

Secrest said that although he wouldn’t rule it out, consolidation would be a “last resort.”

Somers said the district should consolidate if that is shown to be most efficient way to use the district’s resources.

Hester called the opposition slate’s pledge to cut property taxes before taking office and getting familiar with the district’s finances “irresponsible.”

“You ought to be suspicious when someone offers you a simple solution to a complex problem,” he said.

Candidates on the “cut taxes” slate disagreed with that characterization.

Kamner, who’s in line with the positions of the other candidates on the slate, said they have reviewed the district’s finances, but haven’t mapped out specific areas for reduction. He said he moved to the area for the schools and wants the district to be among the best in the state.

“We want District 155 to be a premier district, and we think we can do that without spending as much money,” he said.

The school district’s seven-member board is unpaid. Board President Ted Wagner and longtime board member Gary Oberg are not seeking re-election. This week, the board approved its first reduction in force in its history, laying off or reducing hours for 10 full-time and five part-time teachers, amid declining enrollment.

Council candidates differ on sales tax hike

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The proposed home rules sales tax was the No. 1 talking point at a Woodstock City Council candidate forum Thursday at the Woodstock Public Library.

Six men, including incumbents Mike Turner and Joe Starzynski, are vying for three open seats on the City Council. Challengers include Scott Gessert, Jim Prindiville, Gordon Tebo and Michael Stanard. The election takes place April 4.

Woodstock’s mayoral seat also is open this election, with three facing off – incumbent Brian Sager, who faces challenges from local business owner Gregg Hanson and County Board member Michael Rein.

A proposed home rule sales tax increase was a hot-button issue at Thursday’s forum, and candidates differed on whether they would support the idea, which had been floated at a previ-

Some candidates – such as Tebo and Starzynski – are supportive of the idea, but said they aren’t sure of how much of an increase they would be willing to vote for.

“I would support some form of sales tax,” Starzynski said. “I’m not sure exactly how much. When I look around at the communities around us, I don’t think it puts a major dent. … I think it’s an incremental change. I understand it would affect some business-

he agreed.

“No tax increases under any condition no matter what,” Stanard said.

“Unless it is approved by the voters enthusiastically by referendum. Not by a group of people sitting making arbitrary decisions.”

Turner said that although he doesn’t want to raise taxes, he thinks the sales tax is one way to lower property taxes and thus attract more residents and businesses, which would be better for the community as a whole.

“I deal in the reality of the businesses that ask how much am I going to pay in property tax on this building,” Turner said. “I deal in the reality of a lousy state budget and an economy that has been struggling and trying to maintain services that residents all value, and come up with a plan that can lower property taxes, improve roads and jump-start that manufacturing economy.

“This is not a perfect plan, but it is a reality that we face.”

es, especially building materials with large orders, and maybe there is some way to work around that.”

Other candidates, including Gessert, are against the idea all together.

“When I came to Woodstock nearly 18 years ago, I brought with me business from outside of town,” he said.

“The contracts that I brought with me were large-ticket items and were dependent on basis points of competitiveness. This 1 percent sales tax would significantly impact business conducted in this town.”

Prindiville said that he is against the tax for similar reasons.

“I would not be in favor … for simple economic reasons,” Prindiville said. “It would make us less competitive in this region. That is going to make demand for businesses in Woodstock decrease. That is bad economic development policy.”

Prindiville added that he would only consider the idea if voters approved it through referendum, and Stanard said

Rockford 3-year-old killed in I-90 crash near Gilberts NORTHWEST HERALD

A 3-year-old Rockford boy was killed and three adults were injured in a three-car crash Thursday morning on Interstate 90 westbound at milepost 47 near Gilberts, Illinois State Police said.

A preliminary investigation has revealed that a red Ford Taurus – driven by a 26-year-old Rockford woman – which also was carrying the child and a 30-year-old Dixon man, was either stopped or slow rolling in the middle lane of traffic, according to the police.

A black Ford Fusion, driven by a 48-year-old Zionsville, Indiana, man rear-ended the Taurus. The third vehicle involved in the crash, a Silver Ford F150 pickup truck driven by a 65-yearold Friendship, Wisconsin, man tried to avoid the collision but struck the Fusion, police said.

The drivers of the Taurus and Fusion were taken to Sherman Hospital in Elgin with injuries not considered life-threatening. The child was transported to Centegra Hospital – Huntley,

“Any Other Name,” which runs through April 2 at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, will not transfer to a Chicago theater as originally planned.

It was hoped the production of Williams Street Repertory, the in-house professional theater company for the Raue, would move to Chicago’s Theater Wit on April 21.

“Any Other Name” is a dark comedy by award-winning playwright George Brant, and initially had appeared as a WSR LAB Series selection during the 2015 season of the play-reading series dedicated to showcasing new work.

“The amazing new work, ‘Any Other Name,’ by one of America’s premiere playwrights, George Brant, is indeed worthy of a transfer into Chicago, and I am sorry that we will not be doing so,” Richard Kuranda, executive director of the Raue Center for the Arts, said in a statement.

Kuranda described Brant as a “powerful intellect that is shaping opinions across the country as witnessed at Mil-

waukee Repertory, The Public Theater in New York City and many, many more.”

He referenced recent proposals to cut the budget of the National Endowment for the Arts.

“The simple fact is this. The unpredictable changes in the marketplace due to the president’s recent move to abolish the NEA have added a tremendous amount of risk and uncertainty into the arts marketplace, as well as the rest of the economy,” Kuranda said.

He emphasized “Any Other Name” will continue to be performed at the Raue. It is a dark comedy (or light tragedy) about poetry, madness and identity theft in Victorian England. Edward and his American wife, Margaret, are starving for his art. Surely there must be a better way to becoming England’s most famous and beloved poet? Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, March 31 and April 1, and 3 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and April 2. Tickets range in cost from $32.50 to $38.50. For tickets and information, call 815-356-9212 or visit rauecenter. ticketforce.com.

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake lawyer formally denied drunken driving and gun charges based on allegations that he drove under the influence of alcohol and had a loaded handgun in his possession without a valid firearm owner’s identification card.

Donald F. Franz, 50, appeared in court Thurs- Donald F. day with his attorney, Franz Paul Koontz, a member of the Donahue and Walsh law firm.

Koontz spoke on behalf of his client and told the judge Franz would be pleading not guilty to all charges.

Franz was arraigned before Judge Val Gunnarsson on charges of aggravated battery, a Class 2 felony; aggravated resisting a peace officer, a Class 4 felony; unlawful possession of firearm without a requisite FOID card, a Class 3 felony; unlawful possession of firearm ammunition without a requisite FOID card, a Class 3 felony; possession of a revoked concealed carry license, a Class A misdemeanor; possession of a revoked FOID card, a Class A misdemeanor; aggravated driving under the influence, a Class 4 felony; and unlawful use of a driver’s license, a Class A misdemeanor. If convicted of the most serious charge, a Class 2 felony, he could face three to seven years in prison.

A judge from outside of McHenry

County was appointed after 22nd Judicial Circuit judges recused themselves.

A special prosecutor also was appointed to the case after the state’s attorney’s office cited a potential conflict of interest.

Franz was arrested when police responded about 10:20 p.m. Jan. 19 to North Williams Street in Crystal Lake for the report of a possible intoxicated motorist. When police interacted with Franz, he was reportedly “uncooperative and combative with police” and resisted arrest, authorities have said.

He is accused of causing bodily harm to a Crystal Lake police officer when he allegedly “pushed the officer in the body with both open hands, resulting in an injury to her finger,” according to court documents.

When he was arrested, police found

Franz was in possession of a loaded Colt .380 handgun, and several rounds of assorted firearm ammunition were found in his vehicle. Franz did not have a valid FOID card as it had been previously revoked.

Crystal Lake police obtained a warrant to search Franz’s vehicle and residence. Inside, they found 36 high-powered rifles, assault-style rifles and shotguns; 20 assorted handguns; and thousands of rounds of ammunition, authorities have said. Franz is believed to be a hunter.

Franz is a self-employed lawyer practicing in Crystal Lake and the son of the late McHenry County Judge James Franz.

He is out on bond and will next appear in court May 1.

Aldermen also talk fireworks display for July 1 celebration

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – An artisanal bread maker and brewer plans to open in McHenry.

After much discussion, the McHenry City Council approved a revolving loan for a new business idea in McHenry.

On Monday, the McHenry City Council considered a revolving loan submitted by Jimmybread LLC, doing business as Jimmybread & Brew, in the amount of $55,000.

Jimmybread intends to use the money, along with investor dollars, to build a business in McHenry that sells artisan bread using fresh ingredients and also brews a small batch of craft beers.

The motion to consider approval of the loan was made by 7th Ward Alderman Geri Condon and was seconded by 5th Ward Alderman Richard Wimmer.

“I think it has potential to be just a great new asset to our community, so I’m really excited to see it move forward,” Condon said.

Fourth Ward Alderman Scott Curry

t Greals i o S

said while he thinks it’s a good idea, a report from William Busse, president and CEO at First National Bank of McHenry, addressed some financial concerns about the venture, including a reliance on outside financing. Because of the concerns, Curry said he intended to vote against the motion.

“I wish you every luck if it goes through. ... Just from a financial standpoint, it’s not necessarily a reflection on you personally or anything, it just doesn’t come up to snuff as far as what I look at and what Mr. Busse looked at,” Curry said.

“It is a risk, I’m not going to say that it isn’t, but every single one of these (revolving) loans have been a risk,” Condon said.

After some discussion, the motion carried on a 4-3 vote. Voting “no” were 2nd Ward Aldermen Andrew Glab, Curry and Patrick Devine, who took his oath of office earlier in the meeting, replacing Robert Peterson as the new 6th Ward alderman.

In a separate matter, the council also discussed a motion to reconsider proposals for the fireworks celebration.

The agenda’s original motion was to approve a contract with Melrose Pyrotechnics to produce a 25-minute

Before the motion was called, Andrew James, owner of Mad Bomber Fireworks Productions, said he never received a request from the city. Mad Bomber did the fireworks show for the city in 2016.

Hobson said he’s not sure how Mad Bomber didn’t receive a request for quotation from the city and invited Mad Bomber representatives to attend the meeting and share their desire to still be evaluated.

“Considering they didn’t get it, I think to some extent it would be fair to everybody that if we rejected this proposal and we go out and ask staff to get the proposals once again and review them,” Glab said.

Third Ward Alderman Jeffrey Schaefer later made a new motion to direct the staff to bring a new set of fireworks proposals at the next meeting. The motion was unanimously approved by the board.

Ranch Living Draws Buyers To Meritus Homes at Lake Vista in Lake Villa

When Denise and Fred Morrone set out to find a new home, they didn’t know it would lead them to builder Meritus Homes—but it did. The couple knew they wanted a ranch. So they researched resale homes on the market and visited new communities. After searching on and off for nearly six months, they found the Marquis.

“We lived in a ranch in Palos Park and keeping that single-level lifestyle was a priority,” said Denise Morrone. “We’re both in our 50s and don’t want the hassle of steps everyday.”

The Marquis met their demands.

With more than 2,600 square feet, 10-foot ceilings and an open-concept layout, it has an expansive feel.

The Morrones made some modifications—they added a fireplace in the corner of the family room, removed the tub from the master bath to expand the shower, and eliminated a wall between the kitchen and family room to open the space even more.

They expanded the island to create a 6-foot-by-7-foot center island, which is the focal point of the kitchen—and Denise’s favorite spot.

“We were thrilled that our vision of the kitchen worked so well with the building plans,” said Denise.

“Meritus was very accommodating.

The team made sure we received everything we wanted and needed in our new home.”

As a semicustom builder, Meritus Homes understands that the personal choices and attention to detail are what make a new home so attractive.

The company provides a portfolio of floor plans but allows buyers to add their own inspiration to create homes that are truly right for them.

Capitalizing on the popularity of its ranches, Meritus Homes has debuted new single-story plans like the Windsor at Lake Vista in Lake Villa.

This 2,253-square-foot ranch has three bedrooms and two full baths along with fine architectural touches throughout. Options such as a box bay window, fireplace, tray and vaulted ceilings, and French doors allow for personalization possibilities. Plus, walk-out or lookout lower levels are available to bring the outdoors in and add more living space.

Tucked in a mature setting surrounded by existing homes, Lake Vista is an enclave of 28 single-family homes nestled around a single cul-de-sac for privacy. Everyday conveniences are nearby thanks to a location on the south side of Grand Avenue/Rt. 132, just two blocks east of Rt. 83 and only minutes from Lake Villa Metra Station. The community is within Lakes Community High School District 117 and District 41.

Homes at Lake Vista are priced from the low $300,000s and sales are by appointment. Two ranch homes are under construction that will be completed in 30 days and are available to view now. For information or to schedule a property visit, call (224) 634-4333 or visit www.MeritusHomebuilders.com.

Chicago has biggest population dip in U.S. The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – The last straw that convinced Chicago native Marissa Marshall it was time to move away was hearing dangerously close gunfire in the rough neighborhood where she found affordable housing.

The 29-year-old, who’s pregnant with her fifth child, relocated about three years ago to a St. Louis suburb where she more easily found jobs and a home where she felt it was safe to send the kids outside.

“I have boys and I didn’t want to raise them in that environment,” Marshall said. “It is easier to go outside of Chicago to get help than stay in Chicago.”

New census data released Thursday shows she’s not alone, with the Chicago area losing more residents than any other U.S. metropolitan area.

The continuing decline coincided with other Midwestern areas, including St. Louis and Cleveland, as the South and Southwest regions of the country saw gains.

Two Texas metropolitan areas – Dallas and Houston – reported the biggest numeric increases between July 2015 and July 2016, adding more than 100,000 residents each.

News from across the state Illinois judge rules in favor of lawmakers seeking pay

CHICAGO – A judge has ruled that Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza must pay lawmakers even though the state doesn’t have a budget.

Cook County Circuit Judge Rodolfo Garcia ruled in favor of Illinois legislators on Thursday, citing a 2014 law passed after then-Gov. Pat Quinn withheld paychecks over pension reform.

Mendoza said she planned to comply with the order. She also said she would ask her lawyers to appeal the judge’s ruling.

A group of Democratic lawmakers last year filed a lawsuit against then-state Comptroller Leslie Munger. They argued she and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner were holding up legislators’ paychecks

Cook County, which encompasses Chicago, also led all counties in population drops, with about 21,300 fewer residents.

Trailing were Michigan’s Wayne County, where Detroit is located, with about 7,700 fewer residents; and Baltimore County, which lost more than 6,700 residents.

Meanwhile, Arizona’s Maricopa County had the highest annual population increase, gaining more than 81,000 residents, followed by Harris County in Texas and Nevada’s Clark County.

Families leaving Chicago cite the nearly-broke city school system that’s closed more than 50 schools since 2013 and a soaring violent crime rate with more than 760 homicides last year, the most in two decades.

Teacher fired for allegedly bullying student over Pledge

BLUE ISLAND – A suburban Chicago teacher has been fired for allegedly bullying a student into standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Eisenhower High School driver’s education teacher Vince Ziebarth said he was terminated March 16 after being told he made “inappropriate comments” to a sophomore student.

Ziebarth told the Daily Southtown that he told the student if he chooses to sit during the Pledge he will not sit in a driver’s education vehicle. Ziebarth said he wasn’t given a specific reason for his firing, adding he was not under contract, and was not a tenured teacher.

The student’s mother contends Ziebarth violated her son’s First Amend-

ment rights.

School officials have declined to comment on personnel issues involving Ziebarth.

Cop faces new charges in shooting of black teen

CHICAGO – A grand jury added 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm to the first-degree murder charges against a white Chicago police officer accused in the fatal shooting of a black 17-year-old.

A special prosecutor and attorneys for former officer Jason Van Dyke didn’t discuss the new indictment announced during at a Thursday hearing.

Van Dyke shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in October 2014.

The new indictment brings to 23 the number of felony counts against Van Dyke. He faces six counts of first-degree murder, one count of official misconduct and now 16 aggravated battery counts.

Van Dyke was charged in 2015 at the same time the city – on a judge’s orders – released video of the shooting.

Chiropractor faces charges tied to $10M in billings

CHICAGO – A Chicago chiropractor has been indicted on federal charges that he submitted at least $10 million in false claims to Medicare and private insurers.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release that Henry Posada allegedly submitted fraudulent claims for physical therapy and chiropractic services that never happened. He also used the names of patients without their knowledge to create false claim forms.

The 54-year-old Posada is charged with 18 counts of health care fraud. He pleaded not guilty this week.

Posada allegedly submitted false claims from 2008 and 2016, prompting Medicaid and private insurers to pay him and his South Side clinic more than $5 million.

Posada could not be reached for comment because his business phone number is disconnected and his residential number is unlisted.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS turn in a case that had stoked Jury gets case in trial of Penn State’s ex-president fears of rising anti-Semitism in

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Attorneys for Penn State ex-President Graham Spanier declined to call any witnesses Thursday to counter accusations that he acted illegally in handling a 2001 complaint about Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy, sending the case to jurors for deliberation.

Spanier attorney Sam Silver argued there was “no evidence at all,” saying the case involved judgment calls by high-ranking university administrators in dealing with the complaint that Sandusky, a retired assistant football coach, had been seen naked with the boy in a team locker room.

“They made judgment calls,” Silver said. “They did not engage in crimes. They did not enter in a conspiracy.”

Laura Ditka with the state attorney general’s office said Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz took actions to preserve the school and their own reputations, at the expense of children.

the U.S. The surprising arrest of the man, a hacker who holds dual Israeli and American citizenship, came after a trans-Atlantic investigation with the FBI and other international law enforcement agencies. U.S. Jewish groups welcomed the breakthrough in the case, which drawn condemnation from President Donald Trump.

Israeli police described the suspect as a hacker, but said his motives were still unclear.

Trump demands Friday vote on health care bill The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Abandoning negotiations, President Donald Trump demanded a make-or-break vote on health care legislation in the House, threatening to leave “Obamacare” in place and move on to other issues if Friday’s vote fails.

The risky move, part gamble and part threat, was presented to GOP lawmakers behind closed doors Thursday night after a long and intense day that saw a planned vote on the health care bill scrapped as the legislation remained short of votes amid cascading negotiations among conservative lawmakers, moderates and others.

At the end of it the president had had enough and was ready to vote and move on, whatever the result, Trump’s budget director Mick Mulvaney told lawmakers. “’Negotiations are over, we’d like to vote tomorrow and let’s get this done for the American people.’ That was it,” Rep. Duncan Hunter of California said as he left the meeting, summarizing Mulvaney’s message to lawmakers.

“Let’s vote,” White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said as he walked out.

“For seven and a half years we have been promising the American people that we will repeal and replace this broken law because it’s collapsing and it’s failing families, and tomorrow we’re proceeding,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said, then walked off without answering as reporters demanded to know whether the bill had the votes to pass.

The outcome of Friday’s vote was impossible to predict. Both conservative and moderate lawmakers had claimed the bill lacked votes after a long day of talks. But the White House appeared ready to gamble that the

President Donald Trump meets with truckers and industry CEOs regarding health care Thursday in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. prospect of failing to repeal former President Barack Obama’s health law, after seven years of promising to do exactly that, would force lawmakers into the “yes” column.

“It’s done tomorrow. Or ‘Obamacare’ stays,” said Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., a top Trump ally in the House.

Collins was among those predicting success Friday, but others didn’t hide their anxiety about the outcome.

Asked whether Republicans would be unified on Friday’s vote, freshman Rep Matt Gaetz of Florida said, “I sure hope so, or we’ll have the opportunity to watch a unified Democratic caucus impeach Donald Trump in two years when we lose the majority.”

Thursday’s maneuvers added up to high drama on Capitol Hill, but Friday promised even more suspense with the prospect of leadership putting a major bill on the floor uncertain about whether it would pass or fail.

The Republican legislation would halt Obama’s tax penalties against people who don’t buy coverage and cut the federal-state Medicaid program for low earners, which the Obama statute had expanded. It would provide tax credits to help people

pay medical bills, although generally skimpier than Obama’s statute provides. It also would allow insurers to charge older Americans more and repeal tax boosts the law imposed on high-income people and health industry companies.

The measure also would block federal payments to Planned Parenthood for a year, another stumbling block for GOP moderates.

In a concession to the conservative House Freedom Caucus, many of whose members have withheld support, the legislation would repeal requirements for insurers to cover “essential health benefits” such as maternity care and substance abuse treatment.

The drama unfolded seven years to the day after Obama signed his landmark law, an anniversary GOP leaders meant to celebrate with a vote to undo the divisive legislation. “Obamacare” gave birth to the tea party movement and helped Republicans win and keep control of Congress and then take the White House.

Instead, as GOP leaders were forced to delay the vote Thursday, C-SPAN filled up the time playing footage of Obama signing the Affordable Care Act.

Dems threaten delay on court nominee The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats vowed Thursday to impede Judge Neil Gorsuch’s path to the Supreme Court, setting up a political showdown with implications for future openings on the high court.

Still irate that Republicans blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee, Democrats consider Gorsuch a threat to a wide range of civil rights and think he was too evasive during 20 hours of questioning. Whatever the objections, Republicans who control the Senate are expected to ensure that President Donald Trump’s pick reaches the bench, perhaps before the middle of April.

The Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer of New York, was among five senators to declare their opposition to Gorsuch on Thursday, even before the Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination had ended.

Schumer said he would lead a filibuster against Gorsuch, criticizing him as a judge who “almost instinctively favors the powerful over the weak.” Schumer said the 49-year-old Coloradan would not serve as a check on Trump or be a mainstream justice.

“I have concluded that I cannot support Neil Gorsuch’s nomination,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “My vote will be no and I urge my colleagues to do the same.”

White House press secretary Sean

Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch gathers his papers Wednesday during a break in his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington.

Spicer called on Schumer to call off the filibuster, saying “it represents the type of partisanship that Americans have grown tired of.”

A Supreme Court seat has been open for more than 13 months, since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. As did Scalia, Gorsuch has a mainly conservative record in more than 10 years as a federal appellate judge.

Shortly before Schumer’s announcement, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob

Casey, who faces re-election next year in a state Trump won, also announced his opposition. Casey said he had “serious concerns about Judge Gorsuch’s rigid and restrictive judicial philosophy, manifest in a number of opinions he has written on the 10th Circuit.”

Democratic Sens. Tom Carper of Delaware and Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, also said they would vote against Trump’s nominee, among at

least 11 senators who say they will oppose Gorsuch in the face of pressure from liberals to resist all things Trump, including his nominees.

No Democrat has yet pledged to support Gorsuch, but Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has said he is open to voting for him. Manchin spoke Wednesday after watching the nominee emerge unscathed from testimony to the Judiciary Committee.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Democratic threats of delay, in the face of what he called Gorsuch’s outstanding performance, stem from their base’s refusal “to accept the outcome of the election.”

In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed ready to change Senate rules, if necessary, to confirm Gorsuch with a simple majority rather than the 60 votes now required to move forward.

Such a change also would apply to future Supreme Court nominees and would be especially important in the event that Trump gets to fill another opening and replace a liberal justice or Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court’s so-called swing vote. In 2013, Democrats changed the rules to prohibit delaying tactics for all nominees other than for the high court.

The Judiciary panel is expected to vote in the next two weeks to recommend Gorsuch favorably to the full Senate.

White House defends lawmaker’s decision to brief Trump

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The White House on Thursday defended the House Intelligence Committee chairman’s extraordinary decision to openly discuss and brief President Donald Trump on typically secret intelligence intercepts, even as Rep. Devin Nunes privately apologized to his congressional colleagues.

The decision to disclose the information before talking to committee members outraged Democrats and raised questions about the independence of the panel’s probe of Russian interference in the election.

“It was a judgment call on my part,” Nunes told reporters shortly after the closed-door committee meeting. “Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the wrong decision.”

Frustrated Democrats questioned whether Nunes, who served on

Trump’s transition team, was working in coordination with the White House, a charge the White House disputed.

Still, White House spokesman Sean Spicer claimed, inaccurately, that Nunes was “vindicating” the president’s unproven assertion that President Barack Devin Nunes Obama wiretapped his New York skyscraper during the election. Nunes specifically stated that the new information he received did not support the president’s explosive allegations.

Nunes told reporters he had seen new information showing that the communications of Trump transition officials were scooped up through monitoring of other targets and improperly spread through intelligence agencies during the final days of the Obama administration. But he shot down Trump’s claims about a wiretap

at Trump Tower specifically ordered by his predecessor.

Still, Republican groups moved quickly to raise money off Nunes’ revelations. The National Republican Campaign Committee blasted out an email with the subject “Confirmed: Obama spied on Trump.”

The Republican National Committee made a pitch with the subject line “Vindicated” and went on to say, “President Trump has fought back and been vindicated time and time again.”

On Wednesday, Nunes spoke to reporters and the president without sharing the new information with Rep. Adam Schiff, the panel’s top Democrat. On Thursday morning, Nunes apologized to Schiff and other Democrats during a 20-minute meeting on Capitol Hill.

“It was a somber discussion,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, a committee member.

Speaking to reporters after his

apology, Nunes ducked questions about whether he was parroting information given to him by the White House, saying only that he was “not going to ever reveal sources.”

It’s common for Americans to get caught up in U.S. surveillance of foreigners, such as foreign diplomats in the U.S. talking to an American. Typically, the American’s name would not be revealed in a report about the intercepted communications. However, if there is foreign intelligence value to revealing the American’s name, it is “unmasked” and shared with other intelligence analysts who are working on related foreign intelligence surveillance.

The material picked up by intelligence agencies is typically classified.

But Nunes’ office disputed that he had released classified information, saying the chairman “did not identify the targets of the surveillance and only spoke in general terms about the content.”

LONDON – Authorities on Thursday identified a 52-year-old Briton as the man who mowed down pedestrians and stabbed a policeman to death outside Parliament in London, saying he had a long criminal record and once was investigated for extremism – but was not currently on a terrorism watch list.

As millions of Londoners returned to work a day after a rampage that killed four victims and injured at least 30, British Prime Minister Theresa May had a message for other attackers: “We are not afraid.”

“Today we meet as normal – as generations have done before us, and as future generations will continue to do,” she said to lawmakers’ cheers in the House of Commons.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack, which police said was carried out by Khalid Masood, a U.K.-born resident of the West Midlands in central England.

Masood plowed a rented SUV into pedestrians on London’s Westminster Bridge, killing an American man and a

British woman and injuring more than 30 people of almost a dozen nationalities. He then fatally stabbed a policeman inside the gates of Parliament before being shot to death by an officer.

A 75-year-old victim on the bridge died late Thursday of his wounds, police said.

Vincenzo Mangiacarpe, an Italian boxer visiting Parliament, said he saw the attacker get out of the car wielding two knives.

“You can imagine if someone was playing a drum on your back with two knives – he gave (the policeman) around 10 stabs in the back,” Mangiacarpe said.

The dead were identified as Kurt Cochran, 54, of Utah and British school administrator Aysha Frade, 43 – both struck on the bridge – and 48-year-old Constable Keith Palmer, a 15-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police. The 75-year-old victim was not identified.

Police arrested eight people – three women and five men – on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts as authorities sought Masood’s motive and possible support network.

Lessons from Penn State

Had two former Penn State University officials done the right thing, some children might have been spared the ongoing pain of having been sexually abused.

Apparently, the university’s football program was more important to the two.

Former Penn State Vice President Gary Schultz, 67, and former athletic director Tim Curley, 62, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment in court.

Each faces as many as five years in prison or, depending what a judge decides, they could get as little as probation.

Their cases are linked to that of former football coaching staff member Jerry Sandusky, who is serving a long prison term for molesting 10 boys. The full list of his victims is much longer.

Curley and Schultz’s cases are being resolved more than five years after the Sandusky scandal broke. One wonders why it took Pennsylvania authorities so long to resolve the matter.

While in their Penn State positions, the two men were among those who in 2001 received a complaint by a university graduate assistant. He said he witnessed Sandusky molesting a boy in a shower used by the team.

But the two – and, allegedly, former Penn State President Graham Spanier – swept the complaint under the carpet.

That allowed Sandusky to spend the next 10 years victimizing more children.

The legendary Joe Paterno, Penn State’s football coach for many years, lost his job over the scandal.

He died a few months after Sandusky was arrested.

Curley and Schultz failed to protect children under the requirements of the law, and that is why they face prison terms.

Educators work under similar mandates regarding abuse or neglect of children that comes to their attention.

Frequently, predators who go to prison in our states have educators who blew the whistle on them to thank.

It is a matter of priorities, we suppose. Either the welfare of children is your top priority – or it isn’t.

Those who think something else is more important belong behind bars.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

GOP working to repeal Medicaid, too Obamacare, President Donald Trump is fond of saying, is a “ complete and total disaster” and must be replaced. Yet one of the most significant features of his party’s proposed replacement has little to do with Obamacare.

The American Health Care Act would drastically reshape Medicaid – ending the federal government’s long-running, open-ended commitment to help states pay for care for the poor.

Instead, in 2020, Washington would make limited per-capita contributions that would shrink as a share of costs with every passing year.

True, expanded eligibility for Medicaid is an important part of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. And the AHCA would reverse this expansion. But its much bigger change is to the Medicaid program as it existed long before Obamacare. Medicaid is a popular and relatively efficient insurance program that has provided health care and peace of mind for millions of Americans for more than half a century.

Why start taking it apart now?

Part of the rationale is that the changes to Medicaid would save $880 billion over 10 years, allowing Congress to make further tax cuts later this year. (Trump telegraphed the strategy in a speech to supporters Monday.) At the same time, many Republicans have long disliked the program’s open-ended promise of federal money.

Whatever the reason, it’s a step in the wrong direction. Those who lose Medicaid coverage would still need care, and their fellow Americans would still have to pick up the tab.

As things stand now with Medicaid, states pay doctors for providing care to enrollees, and the federal government reimburses the states up to 75 percent of that cost. When a state spends more than usual – in the event of a hurricane or an opioid epidemic, for example – the federal share keeps up.

Under the AHCA, each state would instead be given a capped allowance, and that amount would rise each year with medical inflation. It would not account for any unforeseen expenses. Over time, as the rise in per-patient costs outstripped the rise in general medical inflation – as

the Congressional Budget Office assumes they will – the federal share of funding would decline. Hundreds of billions in costs would be shifted from the federal government to the states. In response, states would need to either raise their own spending on Medicaid – or more likely, offer fewer services to fewer people.

It is this last possibility that is most disturbing. Medicaid has been required to cover some groups of people – mothers and children living in poverty, for example – but not all. One of the consequences of the AHCA would be to discontinue coverage to many who just recently gained coverage under the expansion funded by Obamacare. If a state took the option, now included in the AHCA, to accept a Medicaid block grant rather than a per-capita allotment, it could set its own eligibility standards.

Sending large groups of people back to the private insurance market in a post-Obamacare world, with its increasingly unaffordable premiums and increasingly expensive out-of-pocket costs, would be not only inefficient but also unjust.

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.

Cosler stands for residents

To the Editor: On April 4, I’ll be voting for Jim Cosler for mayor of Cary. Jim championed his successful write-in candidate campaign for village of Cary trustee in 2015 as being the candidate who is the “voice of the people.” Since taking office, Jim’s stood by his word and greatly increased transparency at the local level.

Jim pushed for residents to have the ability to watch board meetings from their home during the meeting or later at their convenience. In addition, Jim’s maintained a social media presence with residents unlike the incumbent who only revisited his social media page once he decided to rerun as mayor. Jim continues to challenge the status quo and for that, the incumbent has labeled him “negative.” I’d rather have a mayor who’s not a politician and willing to stand up for the residents because it’s the right thing to do. Explain why that’s negative?

D-200 incumbents ignore crisis

To the Editor: Barb Gessert and Susan Handelsman have my vote for Woodstock School District 200.

D-200 board incumbents running for re-election are refusing to discuss the crisis Woodstock residents are facing.

D-200 gambled on growth with the 2006 referendum to build new schools, but when the real estate bubble burst, D-200 kept spending. With already skyhigh property taxes, every time D-200 spends more, the equalized assessed value of our homes decline because of long-term unsustainability.

I have been attending D-200 board meetings for the past two years. I have been presenting facts and figures to current D-200 board members and pleading with them to find constructive solutions to our financial challenges, only to fall on deaf ears.

We have an opportunity April 4 to elect two new board members who will be stewards for the taxpayers. We can change the path D-200 is currently on.

Vote Barb Gessert and Susan Handelsman for Woodstock School District 200.

To the Editor: Recent letters from Susan Murphy of Wonder Lake and Mike Walsh of Crystal Lake support the deportation of illegal immigrants because they have broken the law and thus must suffer the consequences.

In the popular mind, the law has been broken.

I have some questions ... born out of a long memory and acquaintance and friendship with scores of immigrants.

Do either of you personally know any immigrants . . . real, live human beings with hopes, dreams and fears . . . legal or illegal . . . or are your comments based on what you have heard on radio/TV or read somewhere?

For 25 years under both Democratic and Republican administrations, our immigration rules have been loosely enforced . . . the effect being that many illegal immigrants have worked (with tacit government approval) years to build a better life for themselves and their families in the U.S. Many have taken jobs that native-born Americans don’t want. Many have worked at low wages. Some have been cheated by their employers and/or native-born Americans.

Illegal immigrants pay taxes. Income, social security and Medicare taxes are deducted from their paychecks. They pay sales taxes. They pay gasoline taxes. And when they rent a home, they pay enough rent to cover property taxes.

Illegal immigrants spend money in businesses owned by native-born Americans.

It may be lawful to deport illegal immigrants whose labor has significantly enabled many of us native-Burns to live the good life for years . . . but is it just?

Is there a difference between THE LAW and justice?

What’s the American way?

To the Editor: Growing up, my father was a wonderful example of community service. I have tried to model this ideal. While I considered running for mayor of McHenry, I decided to complete my current term as alderwoman instead. The support I received was overwhelming; and thank each person who encouraged my candidacy.

Community service runs strong in my home as my husband, James Condon, is McHenry Township highway commissioner. He has held that position for more than a year and, in that time, has reduced the tax levy more than 10 percent. He saved thousands of additional funds through his expertise as a licensed civil engineer. He has run a successful business and holds an MBA. Because of his leadership, he is well respected by his employees at the township. Others also see the value in his leadership: He and his staff received the Environmental Defenders Government of the Year award this month.

Support the qualified candidate April 4, Jim Condon!

Medicare and health were 5 percent.

Government as a whole was 6 percent.

Veterans’ benefits were 6 percent.

Education was 6 percent. Science was 3 percent. Social Security, unemployment and labor were 5 percent. Energy and environment were 3 percent. Food and agriculture were 1 percent. Transportation was 2 percent. Housing and community were 5 percent. International affairs were 3 percent.

President Trump wants to expand greatly the money we spend on our military. We all are behind the president because as Christopher Hitchens says, from the title of his book, “War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning.”

Dick Cheney made $39.2 billion from the Iraq War. How much will Trump and his buddies make?

BUSINESS

Woe for stores as shoppers look elsewhere

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Erica Dao used to shop at malls once a month, looking in stores and seeing what the mannequins displayed. Now, she mainly looks for inspiration on social media.

“I discover brands through Instagram,” said Dao, 33, of St. Paul, Minnesota.

Elizabeth Troy said she was the “queen of sales,” going through discounted items at J. Crew and Banana Republic stores at malls near where she lives in Richmond, Virginia. But her go-to source has become the online subscription service Stitch Fix, which lets her try on clothes at home and decide what to keep.

“I almost never go out to buy now,” said Troy, 50.

Those kind of shifts illustrate the way people are changing how they buy clothing. Shoppers aren’t just showrooming at stores and then buying the same items online if they can find better prices – it’s a more significant separation from the mall.

That is spelling big problems for mall chains like The Limited, which has shut all 250 of its stores, and Wet Seal, which filed for bankruptcy. Department stores such as Macy’s and J.C. Penney – anchors for the malls – also are closing stores. Sears Holdings Corp. has said there’s “substantial doubt” about its future, but believes its plan to turn around its business should reduce that risk. The number of “distressed” retailers – those with cash problems and poor credit profiles that are facing strong competition – is at the highest rate since 2009, Moody’s Investor Service said.

“Retail is increasingly becoming boring,” said James Reinhart, CEO of the used-clothing marketplace thredUP. He said much of the merchandise at stores is homogenous, while online “each day there’s a whole new assortment.”

Department stores make regular announcements about the next way they’re going to win customers back, like offering more athletic-inspired clothes or adding tech areas. But they’re fighting a market in

J.P. Grant, a financial consultant, fits a shirt Monday at Bonobos’ Guideshop, as he shops for clothing during his lunch break, in New York’s Financial District. “This was the first place I thought of,” Grant said. “Convenience ... definitely. I order the product in-store and they send to your residence or wherever you are.” which people are already buying fewer clothes, spending online or at discounters when they do, and demanding more personal and convenient ways to buy.

Brands like Stitch Fix and Bonobos offer curated selections based on people’s preferences, while companies such as thredUP capitalize on shoppers’ increasing willingness to buy secondhand items from mall brands like J. Crew, Anthropologie and Athleta

at big discounts. Deloitte estimates that the nation’s top 25 retailers have lost $200 billion in the smaller entrants to the market over the past five years.

“These internet-rooted businesses are connecting so well with consumers,” said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group Inc. “They’re offering personalization. They offer great value, quality service and a unique look. This is something that the apparel industry has been ignoring, but consumers are gravitating toward them. And they’re becoming a big threat.”

While U.S. clothing sales increased 3 percent overall to $218.7 billion last year, department stores and national mall-based chains saw a drop of 4 percent, NPD said. Discounters enjoyed a 1 percent increase, and off-price stores like T.J. Maxx and Ross saw sales rise 5 percent.

Clothes are also a smaller part of people’s personal spending. In January 1990, Americans spent 5.2 percent of their overall expenditures on clothes and shoes. That compares with 3 percent in January, according to an analysis by Michael P. Niemira, principal at The Retail Economist research firm. If demand held steady, Niemira said, there’d be an extra $255 billion spent.

Even so, retail space rose to 7.76 billion square feet in 2016 in 54 U.S. metropolitan areas – about six times per capita that of countries like Britain, the International Council of Shopping Centers said. Richard Hayne, CEO of Urban Outfitters, likens the retail industry to a housing bubble.

“We are seeing the results: doors shuttering and rents retreating,” Hayne said after the company reported disappointing fourth-quarter results. He expects the trend to continue, and said online shopping is only partially offsetting lower store sales.

“Digital communities and social media are replacing storefronts and traditional advertising as a preferred means by which brands and customers are connecting,” Hayne said, noting Urban Outfitters’ 7 million Instagram followers.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Willie Nelson has played nearly a dozen shows in recent weeks and is not deathly ill, his publicist said, despite a series of reports claiming the country music legend is struggling to breathe.

A March 13 Radar Online report quoted an anonymous source saying Nelson was “deathly ill,” weak as a baby and unable to muster the breath to sing. The story is the basis for reports shared by other websites.

Elaine Schock, Nelson’s publicist, denied the reports and pointed to his performances at concerts in recent weeks as evidence of the singer’s health.

Park guests relax and cool off with a water mist Oct. 22, 2015, under the globe at Universal Studios City Walk in Orlando, Fla.

Mickey vs. the tax man: Disney, Universal fight property tax bills ORLANDO, Fla. – It takes a lot of land to accommodate Cinderella’s castle, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Epcot’s 11-country World Showcase – and a hefty purse to pay the property taxes on it.

To cut tax bills in the tens of millions of dollars, the specialists at Orlando’s famous theme parks have employed methods from the creative – placing cows on undeveloped land and claiming an agricultural exemption – to the traditional – negotiating or appealing to a county board.

Over the past couple of years, however, such tactics aren’t quite doing the job: Property assessments and taxes have jumped – and so has the number of lawsuits the theme parks and other businesses have filed against Orange County’s property appraiser. That’s Rick Singh, who was re-elected to a second four-year term last fall despite the thousands of dollars in donations park officials gave his opponent.

In lawsuits filed last year, the theme parks said Singh’s office had failed to use proper appraisal methodology. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts issued a statement describing increased assessments on some of its properties for 2015 as “unreasonable and unjustified.”

Beyond such terse statements, officials from Disney, the development arm of Universal Orlando and SeaWorld of Florida are saying very little about an issue they hope to resolve in court.

The backlash isn’t surprising, said Doug Head, chairman of the watchdog group Orange County Watch. Head said the appraiser’s position has traditionally been a cushy post for local politicos waiting to retire, but Singh is one of the first to have substantial professional training.

“He uses professional expertise, and he clearly figured out there is a lot more value than is properly being reflected,” Head said. “He did what he needed to do, and people accustomed to the way business was done weren’t happy.”

LOS ANGELES – Todd Fisher said his mother, Debbie Reynolds, set him up “for her leaving the planet” the day his sister and Reynolds’ daughter, Carrie Fisher, died in December.

Reynolds, 84, suffered a stroke and died one day after her 60-year-old daughter died after a heart attack. Todd Fisher told Entertainment Tonight that his mother told him she wanted “to go be with Carrie” before she died.

Fisher said he’s “really OK” with his mother’s death, but “not so OK” with his sister’s.

He said the revival of the Star Wars films and Fisher’s role as Princess Leia meant she was in the middle of what he thought to be “her finest hours.”

Greta Garbo’s apartment in NYC on sale for $5.95M

NEW YORK – Film legend Greta Garbo’s former longtime apartment in New York City is up for sale for nearly $6 million.

The co-op is on the fifth floor of the 14-story Campanile building, located on East 52nd Street. Garbo lived there from 1954 until her death in 1990 at age 84.

The apartment is being sold by the family of Gray Reisfield, Garbo’s niece and sole heir to the actress’s estate.

Yamaguchi tweets ‘break a leg’ to Nancy Kerrigan

LOS ANGELES – A good luck tweet from Kristi Yamaguchi to former Olympic figure skating teammate Nancy Kerrigan is drawing online attention.

Kerrigan is competing on the current season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Yamaguchi tweeted to Kerrigan on Monday, “Can’t wait to see you grace that ballroom floor,” before adding “break a leg.”

Ahead of the 1994 Winter Olympics, Kerrigan was hit in the leg with a crowbar by a man hired by the ex-husband of fellow Team USA skater Tonya Harding.

Social media users quickly took notice of the wording and responded with memes to express disbelief at Yamaguchi’s words.

PARENTING

‘Pet parents’ find healing

Dig deeper before mocking ‘crazy cat ladies,’ ‘dog moms’

By LEANNE ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – It’s easy to jump directly to “crazy cat lady” or poke fun at “stay-at-home dog moms” when describing intense relationships between humans and their pets.

But for some who spend the bulk of each day with their animals, it’s more like a two-way healing labor of love.

Amy Hunter, 51, stayed home in Indiana with her three kids when they were little. Years later, she took a work-from-home job after the death of her son, Jake, piled on the loss of another son who had earlier drowned.

Now her daughter is about to graduate from college and Hunter is home full time with two dogs, a brown mix rescue named Apollo, who weighs in at about 90 pounds, and a black Labrador retriever, Rubi.

“I’ve become very, very, very in tune with them,” said Hunter, who lives in Indianapolis. “We got Rubi as a puppy after my first son died. She’s been my emotional savior.”

Her husband works outside the home, as a plant manager, so it’s just mom and dogs during the day.

“After my second son died, I cried a lot. I was anxiety ridden,” Hunter explained. “What I found was how much I could communicate with my dogs.”

Coleen Balent, 43, understands.

She stays home with her two kids, ages 10 and 8, as her husband works as a computer network engineer for U.S. Navy hospitals outside their home. They’ve been stationed around the world and have been in the U.S. island territory of Guam, in the western Pacific, for nearly a year.

Rounding out the family are three rescue dogs, including one, 13-yearold Paolo, who has serious health issues. She and her husband found him years ago in Sicily, in a boat yard with his mouth taped shut. He had been hit by a car.

“The vet told me he wouldn’t make it through the night. I took him home with antibiotics and a nebulizer, and he survived,” Balent recalled. “Several years later, Paolo broke his back while we were living in Charleston, South Carolina.”

The accident left him paralyzed, but after $6,000 in surgery and three months of rehabilitation, he can

Amy is a stay-at-home pet mom after the death of two of her sons. hobble along, requiring help going up and down stairs and on and off beds.

Three years ago, Paolo was diagnosed with diabetes, so Balent injects him with insulin twice a day, checking his glucose levels often.

“We can barely afford it, and it’s a pain,” she said. “I can never go anywhere for the day. I’m quite sure everyone thinks I’m crazy. Some people have flat out told me, but Paolo has seen me through two pregnancies, two severe postpartum depressions, an autoimmune disease and three moves to three different countries and continents.”

For Hunter, each pet enriches her in different ways. Her black lab got her off the coach. “She gets me moving, she gets me going. There’s no sitting anymore.” She even feels her long hours alone with the two have heightened their ability to communicate.

It’s Apollo who tells her when it’s time for breakfast. He’s the vocal one.

Both dogs comprehend about 250 of her words. Apollo can differentiate between ball, stick and his favorite toy, a Teddy bear.

“And they know what shoes I wear. If I put on running shoes, they’re staying home. They don’t move. If I put on just normal tennis shoes, we’re walking and they go find their leashes. If I put on boots or dress shoes or something, they’re not going. They know this. It’s so funny,” Hunter said. “I’m not the crazy dog lady. I know they’re not my children, but I just feel very close to them.”

Stay-at-home writer Kat Faitour, who lives near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is not a “crazy” dog mom. She’s a “crazy” cat mom.

Faitour worked in the health care industry for more than 20 years, including her last five in a complaint department.

“It was draining. The negativity finally got to me,” she said. “In the midst of that, my mom became ill and

passed away from ovarian cancer in 2013. I didn’t have much to give after my mother died and my husband was super encouraging me to stay home and write.”

With her all day, every day, Faitour said, are “my boys,” two nearly 8-year-old cats, including one with “100 health problems.”

He’s a shaggy, white-haired looker with blue eyes, and he’s deaf.

The product of an amateur breeder, Conan (named for Conan O’Brien) also suffers from knee and hip dislocations and two herniated discs in his back. Conan requires pain medication in the morning and steroids at night.

Higgins, her large gray Norwegian forest cat, is “healthy as a horse,” said Faitour, who with her husband is childless by choice.

“I’ve got my boys,” she laughed.

“They’re always with me, always in the room with me. That’s how we roll.”

Play with Play-Doh: Play-Doh, or some other type of modeling compound, is “a very soothing thing,” Doorley says.

“It’s fully immersive for the body and mind. It’s meditation for the physical senses.” If you don’t have any on hand, try Doorley’s recipe that uses flour, salt, water, cream of tartar and oil.

Don’t worry about getting it perfect, because you probably want to toss this germy Play-Doh in a few days anyway.

Use tools from the kitchen to cut, press and roll.

Create with stickers and stamps:

You might be surprised at how fully absorbed toddlers can get by a sheet of stickers and a piece of paper. Doorley suggests drawing a background on the paper, if you want to make it more engaging. Try stamps and stamp pads, too, for a similar experience.

Make tape roads: If you have a child who likes toy cars, make them an expansive roadway with blue painter’s tape throughout your kitchen. Draw roads and tracks on the tape with

There is nothing wrong with a movie marathon on a sick day. But what if that sick day is going on two, or three, or four? Kids do get sick of screen time. I know, because the unthinkable happened to me this winter: my 4-yearold son had a cold and wanted to turn the television off. We couldn’t schedule play dates, and he didn’t have his normal excess of energy. I realized I needed a stash of creative ideas on hand for the next time we went down with a cold.

I asked suggestions from Pat Rumbaugh, founder of the nonprofit organization Let’s Play America and Rachelle Doorley, blogger at TinkerLab and author of the book, “TinkerLab: A Hands-On Guide for Little Inventors.”

But first, a few tips. Doorley reminds us not to try anything overexerting for the body or brain. This is not the time to teach the alphabet or practice cursive. As the kids get better, you can break out a new coloring book or game. If you need fresh inspiration, Rumbaugh says to ask yourself what you played when you were a child who was home sick.

So pick and choose from these fun

ideas, hide away some supplies, and you’ll be ready for when your child says what mine said: “Mommy, I don’t want the TV anymore.”

28 Healthy don’t need to take glutathione Dear Doctor: I’ve been seeing advertisements for glutathione, saying the supplement enhances the body’s cells. The ads also say the claims haven’t been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. What can you tell me about it?

Dear Reader: Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in the body through enzymatic reactions, using the amino acids cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. It helps repair cells damaged by pollution, stress and other harmful influences, and it is undeniably important.

Mice unable to form glutathione will die before birth. Mice that have been genetically altered to not produce glutathione in the liver will die after one month. People with mutations in the enzymes that form glutathione are more susceptible to oxidative stress. The deficiency in the production of glutathione leads to the breakdown of red blood cells, enlargement of the spleen, gall stones, and after many years can lead to mental deterioration. Also, these patients are more prone to severe anemia when exposed to certain chemicals or drugs.

Less is known about glutathione’s use as a general supplement, although it has been evaluated by the FDA for AIDS-related weight loss. People with AIDS have reduced production of glutathione in the intestine, and supplementation with glutathione could help in the ability to digest food.

Glutathione also has been studied in cystic fibrosis patients. Decreased glutathione in their intestines can lead to inflammation of the intestine, pain, decreased absorption of food, weight loss and growth failure.

A 2015 study published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition found supplementation with glutathione three times a day with meals has been shown to decrease intestinal inflammation and improve growth in children with cystic

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley fibrosis.

Other research assessed glutathione’s effect on people with vascular disease of the arteries that go to the legs. Decreased blood flow can lead to calf pain when walking, but the study found that glutathione given intravenously twice a day helped ease patient symptoms. Because you’re presumably healthy, you’re unlikely to have any deficiency in the production of glutathione. If you’re interested in improving your body’s ability to recover from exercise by enhancing your muscles’ ability to heal, that’s a different question. People who exercise vigorously create oxidative free radicals, which can lead to muscle fatigue and decrease muscle performance – suggesting that an antioxidant may be helpful.

However, people who exercise regularly naturally produce more antioxidants in the muscles to prevent damage, possibly in response to the regular formation of oxidative free radicals. Regardless, the body takes care of itself without the need of a supplement.

As of yet, there is no good study of the use of glutathione in healthy people. Some nutritionists recommend increasing the intake of the amino acids cysteine and glutamate, which make glutathione, but this hasn’t been studied, either.

At this point, I would not recommend taking glutathione. If you’re healthy, your body should produce an adequate amount of this important antioxidant.

that the cool reception they have given your husband is harmful not only to him but also to you? If you have and they still are unable to warm up to him, it’s time to concentrate your efforts on building closer relationships with those relatives who are willing to be more welcoming.

Remember, we can’t change other people. We can, however, change ourselves, and by doing so, change the way we react to them.

Dear Abby: I have a family dilemma. We employ our 16-year-old niece to watch our boys, ages 8 and 10, during the summer and school breaks. We pay her well to come to our home and watch them eight hours a day.

My problem is, her younger brother is my son’s best friend. He gets invited to their house for a sleepover the day before we need a sitter, and both boys go. Then the next day their mom says our niece watched them, and therefore she should get paid for that day, too. Abby, the mom is there all day.

To me, a cousin sleepover isn’t something that should be charged for. Their children have come to our house for years for sleepovers, and I never charged them.

Is this OK? And if not, how do we refuse? We already have told her we prefer the boys to be watched at our home, so they receive one-on-one time. What do you think about this? – Cousin

lost my husband a few years ago and am now remarried. Some of my adult children, although they did not want me to be alone and they “say” they are happy for me, have been slow in welcoming my new husband.

I in no way expect him to be a replacement for their father. I only wish they would welcome him into their lives as they would anyone else’s spouse. They don’t have to love him. I ask only that they respect him and acknowledge that he’s part of my life now. Wishing him a happy birthday and happy holidays directly would go a long way to making him feel accepted, as would more general communication.

He has tried on numerous occasions to show an interest in their lives, but he receives little acknowledgment in return. His children have welcomed me into their lives. This has strained and changed my relationship with my children.

I just want a family again. Is it asking too much of them to accept my husband as part of the family and to treat him that way? – Missing

847-639-9310 Anne Bronte said, “There is always a ‘but’ in this imperfect world.”

In today’s deal, North-South reach an imperfect contract, but it can still be made. What is the ideal contract, and how should South play in four hearts after West begins with three rounds of spades?

If South had been allowed to see his partner’s hand, he would have passed out three no-trump (or North, if given X-ray vision, would have raised straight to three no-trump).

That contract would have cruised home with an overtrick.

When East played high-low at the first two tricks, West was happy to continue with a third round, knowing that his partner must have the queen.

(He would not have signaled a doubleton when he had no trumps.)

Declarer did not wonder why West had failed to shift to a club, its being so rarely right to lead a suit when dummy is void in it. If he had, he might have deduced the bad trump break.

South ruffed the third spade on the board and played a heart. When East discarded, declarer had to concede down one, losing two spades, one heart and one club.

After South finished grumbling about the 5-0 break, North pointed out the inference from the third round of spades, then pointed out that by discarding a club from the dummy at trick three, declarer could have almost assured his contract.

Whatever East did -- win with the queen or ruff -- South could have taken the fourth trick, drawn trumps and claimed.

A loser-on-loser play is one of the most difficult to spot.

This newspaper cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences that occur as a result of you doing business with these advertisers.

WOODSTOCK – The first inning against Elgin confirmed what Woodstock starter Joey Brown and catcher Blake Waterson already suspected.

It was going to be a good day.

“When we were warming up, I was feeling good, and after that first inning, I was feeling really good,” said Brown, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander. “I noticed the ump’s strike zone was low and outside, so I tried to keep everything low. I was able to locate and hit spots well.”

Brown needed minimal help from his defense as he and Waterson accounted for all but five outs. He struck out 16 Maroons and allowed only three hits in a 5-0 shutout in their nonconference game Thursday at Emricson Park.

“You can’t ask for better than that,” Waterson said. “He was outstanding.

His fastball was great; his curveball and cutter were working amazing today. In his (pregame) bullpen, I knew it was going to be a great day.”

Woodstock (3-0) got Brown all the offense he needed in its first at-bat, as Evan Geske and Waterson each got hits that led to the Blue Streaks’ first two runs. Waterson delivered an RBI hit in the second inning, as well, then Brown doubled to lead off the third and scored.

Brown struck out the side in the third and sixth innings and whiffed two batters in each of the other five innings.

He threw 107 pitches and allowed only two runners to reach second base.

“What I really liked was he was super-consistent in the strike zone,” Blue Streaks coach Matt Prill said.

“He pounded the zone the entire time, which is something we preach to our whole staff, getting ahead, strike one.

He was able to locate pitches after that.

When you get ahead of hitters, you’re going to have some favorable situations.”

Elgin coach Dave Foerster also lauded Brown’s command.

“He got ahead in most every count,” said Foerster, whose team fell to 0-3. “I asked the guys afterward, and he was throwing a lot of good pitcher’s pitches first. They were strikes, but not necessarily good hitter’s strikes. He was hitting a lot of corners. He did a good job in that regard. Later in the count, we swung at a lot of bad pitches. He pitched to his strengths.”

Brown was excited to be able to finish what he started. The IHSA’s new pitch-count rule of 105 almost stopped him, as he was at 101 with two outs in the seventh, but the rule allows a pitch-

As was the case all game, the Gold-

en Eagles responded. After scoring a run in the fifth inning, Jacobs took the lead back after a four-run sixth.

Johnsburg had one more rally in the seventh with an RBI single by Haley Erickson and a bases-loaded walk by McKenna Diedrich. The lead didn’t last long, thanks to Pena’s heroics.

On a cold, windy day that didn’t seem to favor the batters, both offenses came through in a big way. Jacobs finished with 20 hits and scored at least one run in each inning. Jacobs was led by Gabriella Silva with four hits.

The Skyhawks finished with 14 hits, led by Hannah Hilgart-Roy with four hits and Erickson with three.

Jacobs coach Katie O’Brien was pleased with how the offense showed up in the season opener.

“We had contributions from the top to the bottom of our lineup, and that was great to see today,” O’Brien said.

“This is such a great group of kids.

Even when we were down, they were all still smiling and dancing in the dugout and never gave up.”

Freshman Savannah Svedman made her varsity debut in the circle and kept her team in the game. Because of an injury to starter Katherine Armstrong, Svedman is the new No. 1 starter and impressed O’Brien.

“I’m proud of how Savannah stepped up for us today,” O’Brien said.

“She is a freshman, and she rebounded nicely after a rough inning.”

Johnsburg coach Ted Juske was proud of the effort by his young Skyhawks.

“I told them after the game that they have no reason to hang their heads,” Juske said. “We are a young team that is still learning. Last year, they beat us 24-1, and today we had a good chance of winning, but it just didn’t go our way.”

GIRLS SOCCER: RICHMOND-BURTON 3, JOHNSBURG 1

Rockets head to break after KRC victory

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – With a weeklong break ahead, Richmond-Burton girls soccer coach Casey DeCaluwe wanted his team to feel positive about its play early in the season.

What better way to feel confident than to head on the road and beat rival Johnsburg?

Senior Breanne Retherford had a goal and an assist Thursday to help R-B defeat the Skyhawks, 3-1, in Kishwaukee River Conference play.

Fellow seniors Anna Blaney and Gabby Ross also scored goals for the Rockets (2-0, 2-0 KRC), who held Johnsburg scoreless in the final 56 minutes.

“I thought our back line did an excellent job of shutting them down,” DeCaluwe said. “I thought we did a great job keeping their chances to long-distance shots and nothing real close. When you have someone like [senior captain Sarah Kitterman] back there dictating things, it’s enjoyable as a coach.”

Although the Rockets managed the two-goal win, it was the Skyhawks (03, 0-2) and midfielder Amber Humphres who opened the scoring. On one of those long-distance shots that DeCaluwe men-

That was the only shot that beat Restis, who finished with eight saves.

From that point, the Rockets’ speed took over. Outside midfielders Ross and Retherford created chances down their respective wings, both capitalizing on crosses.

“We had a lot of confidence in ourselves coming into the season, but it’s not always there until you get out on the field and play.”

Anna Blaney

Richmond-Burton soccer player Just before halftime, Retherford dished out a cross that Blaney one-timed into the back of the net to level the score before the break.

“We have strong players in the middle that get themselves in the right spots to finish crosses,” Retherford said. “It makes our job easy on the outside when we can play it in and know someone will be on the end of it.”

Retherford then added a goal, crashing the back post off a free kick from Kitterman to give the Rockets a 2-1 lead one minute into the second half.

A cross by Ross slipped through Johnsburg goalkeeper Jessica Strzelczyk’s hands to provide the final goal for the Rockets, who gain that confi-

dence they wanted heading into spring break.

“We had a lot of confidence in ourselves coming into the season, but it’s not always there until you get out on the field and play,” Blaney said. “The chemistry is at a really good place right now.

We’re all extremely close as friends, and I think that showed a lot and helps a lot early in the season.”

Although the Skyhawks have lost each of their first three games of the season, coach Rob Eastland hasn’t taken all negatives away from his team’s start.

It would be more disappointing to the longtime Johnsburg coach if he didn’t see potential in his group, which is certainly not the case despite scoring only twice in its first three matches.

“I thought today was two good teams going at it early in the season,” Eastland said. “It was a well-deserved win for [RB]. We seem to always start the season slow, which isn’t the worst thing. It’s all about peaking at the right time, and I think this group is certainly capable of that. I like the attitude they have shown, and we’ll move on and get better from here.”

Neither team will play again until April 4, when R-B hosts Marengo and Johnsburg hosts Woodstock.

ALGONQUIN – With two outs and the score tied in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday against Johnsburg, Jacobs third basemen Emily Pena just wanted to help her team.

The sophomore hit a ball that rolled just foul after landing about 6 feet from the plate, and she had to take the long walk back to the batter’s box.

“After I hit that weak pop-up, I just wanted to hit something and give my team a chance,” Pena said. “I really just wanted to win the game.”

Pena’s wish was granted. She hit a long home run to right-center field that gave the Golden Eagles a 15-12 nonconference victory in its softball season opener at Jacobs.

After Johnsburg jumped to a 2-0 lead, Jacobs went ahead in the second inning and slowly padded its lead the

Although the Hawks went into the game with a relatively comfortable six-point lead for the best record in the Western Conference, they will probably have little margin for error if they intend to win the President’s Trophy. That means beating struggling

teams such as the Stars, who are sixth in the Central Division.

The Hawks were hardly rattled after a 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks on Tuesday night. Quenneville was pleased that they allowed just 15 shots on goal. But the Hawks weren’t as sharp defensively against the Stars. They were outshot 13-7 in the first period and 14-7 in the second for a 27-14 deficit after two.

(At the same point against the Canucks, they had a 21-9 advantage in shots on goal).

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hawks might’ve struck gold with Hartman at center

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It remains to be seen whether Joel Quenneville has struck gold with winger Ryan Hartman centering the No. 2 line with Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane – Panarin and Kane are going to make almost anyone look good. But the Blackhawks coach was intrigued enough to stick with it against the Dallas Stars on Thursday night, with an eye on keeping Hartman at center on a bottom-six line when Artem Anisimov returns from a leg injury.

Hartman – a forward on the third line with Marcus Kruger and Marian Hossa to start Tuesday night’s game agianst the Canucks – skated with Panarin and Kane in the third period, and Hartman scored the tying goal with 1:03 left before the Hawks lost in overtime. Physically, the gritty Hartman is a better

complement to Panarin and Kane than rookie Nick Schmaltz, who initially replaced Anisimov on the second line.

“I liked [Hartman] there and the way he plays with those two guys – you can have a net presence and disruption around the net and a lot of action with those guys in that area,” Quenneville said. “It gives us some options of using him in the middle in other spots, as well.

For [one] period there, Ryan Hartman I thought he did a real nice job. He looked all right in practice [before Thursday night’s game]. It’s one more option, which we like.”

When Anisimov returns, the Hawks could have Jonathan Toews, Anisimov, Hartman and Marcus Kruger at center – theoretically giving Quenneville the strength down the middle he’s looking for in the playoffs. But Hartman still

has to prove he can be universally effective at center. And John Hayden or Schmaltz have to continue to produce to free up Hartman to play center.

Hartman was unfazed by the challenge of transitioning to center; he played some center at Rockford and “a decent amount” in juniors.

“I don’t think it’s too difficult,” he said. “It is a different position, but the only main difference is defensive zone – you’re just playing a little lower and you’re reading off our defenseman. It’s not a brand-new thing for me. I’m looking forward to it.”

Hawks extend Kero: The Hawks have agreed to terms with rookie forward Tanner Kero on a two-year contract through the 2018-19 season, the team announced.

Kero, signed as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan Tech in 2015, has five goals and 12 points with a plus-12 differential in 38 games before Thursday

night’s game against the Stars. He had one goal and three points, with a minus-2 differential in 17 games last season.

Sharp’s struggle: Former Hawks star Patrick Sharp is having the most challenging season of his NHL career – he’s missed 26 games for two concussions and has been playing through a hip injury that will require surgery in the offseason.

The 35-year-old Sharp, who won three Stanley Cups in 10 seasons with the Hawks (2006 to ’15), has eight goals and 18 points, with a minus-21 differential in 46 games this season. And with the Stars (29-33-10) in sixth place in the Central Division, Sharp will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

“It’s been a tough season, that’s for sure,” Sharp said. “[Missing the playoffs will] be an opportunity for me to get healthy, I guess. It’ll be tough watching the playoffs, but that’s the position I’m in.”

• Friday, March 24, 2017

CHICAGO – Fifty years ago this week, Chicago held a parade for the Blackhawks, which featured Bobby Hall and Stan Mikita at City Hall and toasted them at the Bismarck Hotel in celebration of winning a “championship” that would be considered mundane today – the Prince of Wales Trophy for having the best record in the six-team NHL’s regular season in 196667.

There will be no parades or luncheons or speeches if the Hawks accomplish a similar feat this season, but that’s still the goal.

The Hawks (100 points) were trailing the Capitals (102 points) and Penguins (101) and were tied with the Blue Jackets heading into Thursday night’s game against the Stars. Being assured of homeice advantage in every playoff series is a worthy reward.

“First overall would be nice,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “We would like to keep moving ahead. I look at that race [in the Metro Division] with four teams a couple

But Corey Crawford, who allowed three goals on the first five shots against the Canucks, was much better against the Stars. He stopped 26-of-27 shots through two periods and had 42 saves.

The Hawks took a 1-0 lead when Kane scored his 33rd goal of the season off a pass from Richard Panik on a power play at 8:13 of the first period. Jonathan Toews also assisted on the goal. It came seconds after the Stars failed on a two-on-one short-handed opportunity.

With Ryan Hartman in the penalty box for tripping in the second period, Crawford came up big on the penalty kill, stopping Jiri Hudler’s backhand on the doorstep.

After both teams hit a lull midway through the second period, Hartman got the crowd into it when he got into a fight with veteran defenseman Dan Hamhuis near center ice.

Hartman actually got the better of Hamhuis, but it ultimately did not work out well for the Hawks. Ales Hemsky beat Crawford in front to tie the game 1-1 just 40 seconds after the fight.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Trevon Bluiett scored 25 points, Sean O’Mara scored inside with 40 seconds left, and No. 11 seed Xavier upset Arizona, 73-71, in the West Regional on Thursday night.

Xavier (24-13) stayed with the second-seeded Wildcats behind Bluiett’s 18 first-half points and tracked down the Wildcats after they tried to pull away in the second half. O’Mara scored on a power move inside, but missed a free throw to give Arizona (32-5) a final chance.

Allonzo Trier missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds and Xavier was able to dribble out the clock, earning its first trip to the Elite Eight since 2008.

The Musketeers held Arizona scoreless over the final 2:52 to earn a sport in the West final against No. 1 seed Gonzaga on Saturday.

Gonzaga 61, West Virginia 58: Jevon Carter fired up two potential tying 3-pointers only to see them go off-target, and Gonzaga didn’t allow West Virginia to get off a third.

Jordan Mathews hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with less than a minute to play, and top-seeded Gonzaga survived a rough shooting night all around to beat No. 4 seed West Virginia to advance to the West Regional final.

The Bulldogs (35-1) made their third Elite Eight in school history on a night that featured 51 fouls and only 34 made baskets.

West Virginia (29-8) had three shots to tie the score, but Tarik Phillip missed a shot from the lane, and Jevon Carter missed two 3-pointers after Silas Melson made one foul shot.

UCLA vs. KENTUCKY

No. 3 seed UCLA (31-4) vs.

No. 2 seed Kentucky (31-5) 8:40 p.m. Friday, CBS Bottom line: UCLA has the most national titles, while Kentucky has the most wins all-time – making for lots of history in this showdown. Kentucky coach John Calipari has had much more success in the NCAA tournament than Steve Alford. Calipari led Kentucky to a national title in 2012, but Alford has UCLA in the Sweet 16 for the third time in his four seasons with the Bruins. The matchup promises to be entertaining: UCLA is the nation’s top scoring team, while Kentucky has won 13 straight.

Boos or cheers: Calipari has a winning history at the FedExForum from his tenure coaching the Memphis Tigers. But many of his old fans remain bitter over the coach bolting for Kentucky in 2009, so the Wildcats might need a big turnout from Big Blue Nation to drown out some boos.

Fab freshmen: Kentucky has its trio of starting freshmen in Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo. UCLA counters with its young phenom, guard Lonzo Ball, along with fellow freshman TJ Leaf.

Did you know? UCLA beat the then-No. 1 ranked Wildcats, 97-92, in the Bruins’ first trip to Rupp Arena on Dec. 3, and they now have won two straight in this series. A third straight win would allow UCLA to tie Kentucky at 7-7 all-time.

No. 1 seed North Carolina (29-7) 6:09 p.m. Friday, CBS Bottom line: Butler is 2-4 against No. 1 seeds in the tournament all-time, reaching the national title game in 2010 and 2011 when they knocked off a No. 1 seed. The Bulldogs also beat defending national champ Villanova not once, but twice this season. They have not trailed in beating a pair of double-digit seeds in Winthrop and Middle Tennessee. The last time North Carolina came into Memphis as the South’s No. 1 seed, the Tar Heels won the 2009 national championship. The Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season champs routed Texas Southern and rallied from five down in the final 2:57 to beat Arkansas and reach this stage.

Holtmann vs. Williams: Butler has won the past two games between these teams, and Bulldogs coach Chris Holtmann is 1-1 himself with a win in 2014 at the Battle 4 Atlantis. Coach Roy Williams is 7-1 in the Sweet 16 with North Carolina.

Keep an eye on: Butler’s Andre Woodson and North Carolina’s Justin Jackson. Woodson played his past two seasons at Memphis before graduating and transferring to Butler. He is 8 of 14 beyond the arc in the tournament and returning to an arena where he averaged 38 percent from 3-point range. Jackson, the ACC player of the year, is averaging 18.1 points a game and has hit a school-record 98 3s this season.

Did you know? Williams has made the NCAA tournament in 27 of his 29 years as a head coach, and this is his 18th berth in the Sweet 16, where the coach is 12-5 overall.

8 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Hendricks 5th in Cubs’ rotation

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs manager Joe Maddon unveiled his full rotation for the start of the season, and he might be making more history by the time the Cubs get through one turn.

After left-hander Jon Lester and right-hander Jake Arrieta start the first two games in St. Louis, Maddon has right-hander John Lackey in the third game in St. Louis, lefty Brett Anderson starting the series opener in Milwaukee after that, and righthander Kyle Hendricks starting the Cubs’ fifth game.

Kyle Yes, you read that Hendricks right: The major league ERA leader last year is opening as the Cubs’ fifth starter this year.

Part of that is about splitting up the two lefties, Maddon said. It might also be a sign of the extreme quality of what Arrieta suggested might be the best rotation in the game.

It at least looks historic.

A quick glance through major league pitching history suggests Hendricks might be the first league ERA leader to open the next season as his team’s fifth starter.

Oakland’s Steve Ontiveros led the American League in ERA in 1994 and started the Athletics’ fourth game in ’95. The Giants’ Scott Garrelts led the NL in ’89 and opened as the Giants’ fourth starter the next year.

The Braves’ Buzz Capra led both leagues in 1974 and started the Braves’ fourth game the next year (but he also pitched the final inning of the opener in relief).

That far back, true five-man rotations were not common.

“Everybody’s always concerned about picking the order regarding what you perceive to be best to least-best,” said Maddon, who explained that he wanted Lackey, the ex-Cardinal, pitching in more of a comfort zone in St. Louis and after that wanted to break up his lefties.

“Listen, Kyle could be a lot of people’s No. 2s, or even a 1 in a certain situation right now, too,” Maddon added. “He’s definitely better than a No. 5 starter. It just happens that we’re going to slot him in the 5 hole coming out of camp. But it’s not a pecking order regarding ability by any means.”

The easygoing Hendricks expressed

Cubs 5, D’backs 5 (Scottsdale, Ariz.)

FIT TO BE TIED Cubs catcher Willson Contreras’ two-out, infield single in the top of the ninth inning Thursday drove home the go-ahead run from third. But a walk, single and sacrifice fly to open the bottom half against prospect James Pugliese left the Cubs with their fifth tie of the spring.

MONSTER MASH On his first swing of the year, Cubs starter Jake Arrieta belted what MLB estimated to be a 460-plus-foot home run to left-center field in the third inning off Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke. He also drove in a go-ahead run in the sixth on a bases-loaded, infield chopper. “Decent first day at the plate,” said Arrieta, who departed at 77 pitches with a 3-2 lead after allowing a leadoff single in the sixth. “On the mound, it was pretty good, too. Time was really good; effort was really low. I threw some good change-ups, and the curveball’s spin is back to where it was last year. That’s a good sign.”

ON DECK Indians at Cubs, 3:05 p.m. Friday in Mesa, Arizona, cubs.com audio, Carlos Carrasco vs.

John Lackey – Gordon Wittenmyer no problem with the decision.

“Obviously, Kyle could be a 1 or 2 just about anywhere – not that he’s not here,” Arrieta said. “It’s just that we’ve got several of those, which is a good problem to have.”

Problem as in the best five-deep rotation in baseball, even?

“On paper, and what we’ve actually done on the field, it’s tough not to say that,” said Arrieta, who was part of a 2016 rotation that had the majors’ best ERA. “People can rank them. But time will tell.

Once we get out there, the first four or five times through the rotation, I think you could probably put a stamp on it then, a little bit more than now. But we stack up just as well as anybody out there.”

The rotation decisions also mean that, as expected, Anderson officially gets the last available rotation job over the more versatile lefty Mike Montgomery.

“We had a nice conversation with Montgomery. He totally understood, and he’s got a great attitude about all of this,” Maddon said. “I could see him starting, pitching in long relief, short relief. He could do a variety of different things for us. It’s nice when you have guys that can do that and then are willing to do that.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Starting in Triple A ‘difficult,’ but Moncada accepts team’s decision

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Expectations are high when you cost the team that signed you (Red Sox) more than $60 million, and the $31.5 million you got made you the highest-paid prospect ever.

And when you’re ranked as the No. 2 prospect in baseball by Baseball America and MLBpipeline.com.

For Yoan Moncada, there also is the issue of having been traded for Chris Sale, a five-time All-Star entering his prime and considered one the best pitchers in baseball. It all flows into one wide river of expectations, Yoan Moncada which can be a lot for a 21-year-old.

But Moncada lets it all slide off his broad shoulders.

“I don’t really feel the pressure because of those situations,” Moncada said Thursday through White Sox translator Billy Russo. “I feel good, relaxed and I’m just trying to enjoy this team.”

Moncada said his goal is “to be working hard and to keep enjoying the game and enjoy this opportunity.”

For now, that will be at the Sox’s Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the muscular, switch-hitting five-tool prospect who reminded scouts of Mike Trout and has drawn comparisons to Robinson Cano, will open the season after finishing strong in Arizona. He batted .317 with three homers, one triple, four doubles and a team-high 13 RBIs during spring training Cactus League games. In Moncada’s past seven games, he went 10 for 22 with those four doubles and three home runs.

“That was the result of my routine and my work,’ ” the second baseman said. “I was also feeling more comfortable at home plate with my swing with my rhythm. That was the reason I had better results at the end.”

The late run began after he struck out four consecutive times in a Sunday night game against the Dodgers.

He doubled off the left-field wall, an opposite-field poke, his fifth time up.

“I was asked by a reporter if we were concerned if he’d struck out four times,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “He went up that night,

Sox 4, Reds 2 (Glendale, Ariz.)

Q STIFLES REDS Jose Quintana looks more than ready for Opening Day. The Reds didn’t bring their A team to Camelback Ranch on Thursday, but the White Sox’s ace left-hander commanded the strike zone over seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball, retiring the first 17 batters he faced, walking none and striking out three.

“I attacked the zone early,” Quintana said.

“When you’re ahead every batter, it’s good. I was getting some quick outs early.”

Quintana threw 79 pitches, 53 for strikes, and threw more in the bullpen to get his pitch count around 90, and likely will scale back in his final outing next week. Manager Rick Renteria still won’t say that Quintana, the obvious choice, will start against the Tigers on Opening Day (April 3) at Guaranteed Rate Field, but it’s certain unless he is traded.

ON DECK Sox at A’s, 3:05 p.m. Friday in Mesa, Arizona, CSN, Carlos Rodon vs. Kendall Graveman – Daryl Van Schouwen shortened up and drove in a couple of key runs in a late rally. His ability to adapt, his work ethic, his receptiveness to instruction and ability to fairly seamlessly incorporate what we’re trying to get him to do on the fly has been impressive.”

Moncada looked relaxed and smiled politely while talking about going to Charlotte. He made five errors this spring, some on routine ground balls, and has worked with coach Joe McEwing on widening his base and improving his footwork in the infield. So there’s that to work on at Charlotte.

He also has 207 plate appearances at Double A and 284 at high Class A with the Red Sox last season, under his belt, which isn’t much. There quite possibly is more to be gained at the Triple-A level. And waiting till May to call him up saves the Sox a year of service time.

The Red Sox were so high on his talent they paid a 100 percent luxury tax on his signing bonus. Moncada believes, as most top prospects do, that he is ready now. But he seems to understand all that is involved.

“It was kind of difficult for me, but it wasn’t my decision to make,” Moncada said. “It was their decision, and for me to accept it.”

10 WGC: DELL TECHNOLOGIES MATCH PLAY

Big wind, wild outcomes at Match Play

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas – Soren Kjeldsen and Alex Noren won their groups in the Dell Technologies Match Play, one round before group play is even finished.

Rory McIlroy took the day off, and he’s already guaranteed the weekend off.

Thursday was as wild as it gets in this tournament, even without wind ripping so hard through the edge of Hill Country that Phil Mickelson chipped into the water and still halved the hole.

Brandt Snedeker, showing class in the midst of such exasperating conditions, conceded a 7-foot putt when Andy Sullivan’s ball rolled up toward the hole and the wind blew it back.

“I’m sure everybody saw some funny-looking shots out there,” said Charles Howell III, who kept his hopes alive with a clutch pitch and a 1-up victory.

The wind had nothing to do

Dustin Johnson takes a drop from a hazard on the second hole during round-robin play Thursday in the Dell Technologies Match Play at Austin County Club in Austin, Texas. with a domino-effect of withdrawals that allowed Kjeldsen and Noren to get a day of rest Friday.

One day after Jason Day withdrew because his mother faces surgery for lung cancer, Gary Woodland pulled out because of a family matter. He was scheduled to play McIlroy in the second round, and while McIlroy was conceded a victory, he

was eliminated four hours later when Kjeldsen won his second straight match. Kjeldsen was to play Woodland in the third round, so he was assured of winning the group at 3-0.

And so ended McIlroy’s week – 17 holes on Wednesday when Kjeldsen beat him with four straight birdies, no golf on Thursday, and a meaningless match Friday. All that’s left is

for McIlroy to decide whether to play the Houston Open next week. He has played only 13 competitive rounds this year.

Noren, meanwhile, had an easy time over Bernd Wiesberger for his second straight victory. He only had to beat Francesco Molinari on Friday, but then Molinari withdrew with a wrist injury, assuring Noren a 3-0 record and a spot in the knockout stage this weekend.

Molinari pulling out also eliminated Wiesberger and Thongchai Jaidee, who get to face each other Friday with nothing at stake.

Along with two players already advancing, 23 players from the 64-man field already are mathematically eliminated.

It was even wilder on the golf course.

Mickelson, who has made it past the third round only once in his 12 previous appearances at Match Play, never has trailed all week and had no trouble against Daniel Berger. But the wind was gusting to 30 mph, and

the sun baked out greens that became like Texas hardpan.

Berger was in the water on the par-5 12th and Mickelson was just right of the green in two. His pitch rolled – and rolled – beyond the flag, off the green and into the water. They halved with bogeys.

“It happens,” Mickelson said. “I just didn’t think that we would have the course so severe where that shot would be a problem.”

Still, Mickelson used a word seldom heard at Austin Country Club on Thursday. He said he had “fun.”

Jordan Spieth stayed in the game with a 4-and-2 victory over Yuta Ikeda.

Dustin Johnson had another easy time as he tries to get in position for his third straight victory, but he still has one more match to claim his group. Ditto for Brooks Koepka, who has yet to see the last five holes in competition. Koepka has closed out both his matches on the 13th hole.

BULLS

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

AP file photo

Bulls center Robin Lopez is averaging 10.3 points and 6.5 rebounds a game.

Lopez was suspended for bumping an official in 2012, and now again had to sit a game for the Ibaka incident. Not exactly choirboy material.

“He plays with emotion,” Mirotic said of Lopez. “Once that clock starts, the nice guy goes away.”

Actually, before that first-quarter clock starts.

Lopez and his twin brother, Brook,

ing to pull my share, do what I could to just help the squad.

“When the whole team succeeds, everybody profits. You always see those players that are going to get that next contract based off of a playoff run. That’s what winning does; that’s what team ball does.”

That’s why he takes so much pride in his defense.

The Bulls were 16th last season in opposing points, and with 10 games left this season they sit seventh.

“I just try and keep it simple,” Lopez said. “Help my teammates anyway I can, and try and make us a better defensive team.”

But his impact is bigger than that.

Just ask Mirotic.

“He is one of best people that I ever met, and everyone in this locker room would tell you the same thing,” Mirotic said. “He’s the guy that comes in the locker room and says hello to everyone, good morning to everyone, very polite.

“We all can learn something from him. He’s the most consistent guys on this team. Every game he’s doing the same thing, doing what he’s supposed to do.”

• Friday, March 24, 2017

CHICAGO – He wasn’t the type of locker neighbor Nikola Mirotic was expecting.

Especially when he first set eyes on Robin Lopez during training camp.

“He looked crazy,” Mirotic said with a laugh. “The flip-flops, the hat, the crazy hair. I was like, ‘Oh Niko, this is going to be interesting.’ ” It has been. Not only is Mirotic locker neighbors with Lopez in the home space of the United Center but also across the street at the Advocate Center. And he wouldn’t change a thing.

“If you don’t know him, he looks crazy,” Mirotic said. “But when you know him deeply, he’s such a good person. He’s very quiet, very intelligent. He’s always reading and drawing, so a very smart guy. Just a little different, but if people could meet him closely, they would be surprised of how good a guy he is.”

So although Lopez’s fight with Serge Ibaka in the Tuesday loss in Toronto was a bit out of character, it wasn’t totally unexpected, either.

Nice guys have tempers, too.

always have walked to the beat of different drums. So no one is surprised that Robin has a hobby of beating up opposing mascots.

He’s never given a real explanation of his infatuation, but jokingly says because he was a tall child, mascots never gave him the “proper attention” growing up. Obviously, revenge is a dish best served on a cold hardwood floor.

What the Bulls care about is they acquired Lopez from the Knicks in the Derrick Rose trade and have control over him at a great price, paying him $13.2 million this season, $13.7 million next season, and then $14.3 million in the final year of the deal.

Not bad for a 7-footer who puts in 10.3 points and 6.5 rebounds a game, while also doing the dirty work and playing enforcer.

Even more impressive, he has played in all 82 games three times in his career and never complains about his role, whether he’s pulled late in games or gets shortened minutes.

“No, that’s always been my mentality,” Lopez said. “Why complain? In high school, I played with my brother and Quincy Pondexter, so I was always try-
