46 dogs saved from slaughter arrive in N.Y.

By VERENA DOBNIK The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Forty-six dogs were flown to New York from South Korea after being rescued at a farm where they were to be slaughtered for human consumption, animal advocates said Sunday.

The Humane Society International is responsible for saving the dogs that barely were fed enough to survive.

The animals arrived at Kennedy International Airport late Saturday and were headed to emergency shelters in New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania on Sunday.

The farm in Goyang, a city just north of Seoul, “was more like a dungeon, where there’s very little light, little to no ventilation, so the stench of ammonia would bring tears to your eyes when you walk through,” said Kelly O’Meara, who oversees the society’s companion animal-related international projects. “You’d see eyes peering at you, but it was hard to actually see the dogs themselves in the dark.”

An estimated 17,000 other such farms still operate in South Korea, said O’Meara. However, she said, it’s a diminishing industry in a society where demand for dog meat has been plummeting. Meat from about 2 million dogs still is eaten

there each year.

In the U.S., the rescued dogs will be available for adoption after the shelters evaluate their behavior and medical needs and make sure each one is ready for a new life in someone’s home.

In South Korea, O’Meara said, the dogs receive no veterinary care of any kind.

“They either get through it or they die in their cage and they receive just enough food to get by,” she said.

At the seven farms from which the Humane Society rescued more than 800 dogs since 2015, those to be slaughtered included both mixed breed dogs and purebred ones – from a Chihuahua and a Maltese to various spaniels and a Saint Bernard.

A German shorthaired pointer and a miniature pinscher came from the latest farm.

The Washington-based Humane Society International, which relies on private donations, deals directly with farmers to close down and demolish dog meat businesses and help owners financially to transition to other work.

The animals must be taken abroad, O’Meara said, because they’re generally not wanted in South Korea as pets or companion dogs. Some had been abandoned pets, and others were raised to be sold as pets but given to the meat industry if that failed.

2 MAJOR PROJECTS ON HORIZON

Work on Route 23 interchange, Longmeadow Parkway among road construction to continue in McHenry County

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com This road construction season is going to be something that McHenry County drivers aren’t used to – quiet.

Commuters in the past several years have had to deal with a number of major projects, from the widening of Rakow Road, Route 14 and Route 31 to the building of the Western Algonquin Bypass and a new Charles Miller Road bridge over the Fox River.

But this year will be tame in comparison, save for two major projects – one on McHenry County’s fringe and the other just over the border in Kane County.

However, don’t get used to it – if McHenry County sticks to plan, the widening of Randall Road and the improvement of its Algonquin Road intersection begins next year.

Here is a list of county road projects that are either ongoing or set to begin this year.

• ROUTE 23 INTERCHANGE: Work

began in February to rebuild and widen the 60-year-old Route 23 overpass and build a full interchange with Interstate 90 south of Marengo.

Daytime lane closures on both Route 23 and I-90 already are in effect.

Rebuilding the overpass is the first phase of the $32 million project, with adding the on- and off-ramps set to follow.

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is paying for the overpass, while the cost of the ramps will be split between the Illinois Department of Transportation and McHenry County.

The project is expected to be finished next year.

McHenry County political and business leaders have long wanted direct access to I-90. Marengo wants to turn the land around the interchange into an industrial hub to take advantage of I-90’s access to O’Hare and Rockford airports.

HUNTLEY

Village Board approves increase in video gambling terminal fees

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The village is upping the ante for businesses that offer video gambling.

Amendments to Huntley’s village code include the addition of definitions, a ban of video gambling cafes, increased terminal fees, a new terminal operator fee and a requirement for a physical barrier where terminals are located, according to village documents.

The changes come after the village placed a moratorium on video gaming in September so staff and the Village Board could have time to establish new regulations on video gambling establishments.

As a home rule community, Huntley has the power to set more standards for video gambling.

The village has 11 active locations

with video gambling and a total of 50 terminals, documents show.

Under the amended ordinance, video gambling cafes are banned.

A video gambling cafe is defined as an establishment that has a primary or major focus on operating video gaming terminals, and where food and alcohol sales are secondary.

Instead of the $25 terminal fee set by the Illinois Gaming Board, there now will be an annual $500 terDave minal fee. Fees from neighJohnson boring communities were researched to help determine the new cost, Village Manager Dave Johnson has said.

There also will be a new annual terminal operator fee of $1,000 a location, documents show.

With the new fees in place, the village will generate $11,000 in terminal operator fees and $25,000 in terminal fees, documents show.

In 2016, Huntley took in about $97,000 in taxes from video gaming machines in the village, Illinois Gaming Board records show.

Huntley Trustee JR Westberg said the ordinance changes were passed unanimously by the Village Board at its meeting Thursday.

Westberg abstained from voting because he owns Parkside Pub in Huntley, which has video gambling machines.

Westberg said he supports the changes and doesn’t think they’ll hurt businesses because the money the terminals generate will more than cover the costs.

“Any fees accrued with those machines, [business owners] will make it up in a couple of weeks,” Westberg said.

Food pantry sets fundraiser to mark volunteer’s 98th birthday

Yes

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – Virginia Hartung is about to turn 98 years old, and she wants to help her community as much as she can.

Hartung has been a volunteer with the Neighbors Food Pantry of Wonder Lake for more than a decade and still is going strong.

For the past several years, the pantry has hosted a fundraiser in her honor, with proceeds and donations going to the pantry. The challenge is to collect food and raise funds that match up with Hartung’s age. This year, the goal is to raise $9,800 and collect 9,800 pounds of food by April 21, Hartung’s birthday.

“It’s a huge amount,” food pantry volunteer Kathleen Zank said. “On average, we will get a $20 or $30 check. Very rarely will we get large grants because we are so small.”

The food pantry serves about 400 families, averaging about 35 to 40 clients a day, she said.

The food pantry will host a fundraiser from 1 to 4 p.m. April 2 at Dusty’s Pizza, 7613 Howe Road in Wonder Lake. A silent auction will be included, with items such as tickets to see Ice Hogs and White Sox games, Zank said.

Nonperishable food donations will be accepted that day, and 10 percent of all food proceeds during the event will go back to the food pantry.

Hartung said that she will do whatev-

She has faced medical difficulties that include a broken leg and heart attack, but she has recovered and is back to work as hard as ever.

Hartung said the best part of the volunteer experience is talking and being

friendly with clients.

“I love the pantry. It’s for the people,” she said. “They were all so surprised at the pantry. They all keep saying, ‘Take a break.’ But so many people come, one after another, and you gotta put the stuff in their cart and take them through.”

ISLAND LAKE

Medicinal pot helps 26-year-old control seizure disorder

By MICHELE LEIVAS

editorial@lakecountyjournal.com ISLAND LAKE – Laughter erupts in the breakfast nook of the Conley family’s Island Lake residence. Nicole Conley, 26, raises the marijuana cigarette to her lips and inhales again as the camera’s shutter clicks away.

“It’s kind of hard to smoke when [someone’s] taking pictures,” she said with a smile.

Marijuana is still very much a taboo topic in Lake County, but Conley, her older sister, Danielle, 29, and their mother, Mary, 56, are working hard to change that.

‘This wasn’t her.’

In 2007, when Conley was 16 years old, she was rear-ended by a tow truck and suffered what her doctors informed her at the time was a “severe concussion.” In the year after the crash, however, Conley began exhibiting major personality changes, including fits of rage that resulted in multiple suspensions from school and several visits to the principal’s office. Her GPA plummeted from a 4.3 to just barely above a D. “I was getting kicked out of everything, [and] I was pretty angry,” Conley

Candace H. Johnson for Shaw Media

recalled. “I started failing everything, and every teacher was kicking me out of class. And I got suspended all the time.

The dean was always screaming at me.”

Although most people, from teachers to physicians, were ready to chalk up her behavior to typical teenage rebellion, her mother and sister knew differently. They knew it was somehow linked to her injury.

“I was on her side,” her mother said.

“She’s a sweet pea. I went through one [teenager] already, so I knew this was different. This wasn’t her.”

“We knew it was chemical,” her sister added. “But a lot of people didn’t believe us.”

Nicole’s strange behavior and increasing fits of rage continued for five years. Five years of fear and anger and frustration for her and her family with no answers to the questions they kept

asking: What was wrong? What was happening?

“We thought she had a brain tumor,” Danielle said. “We got to the point where she was telling us, ‘I’m scared; I don’t know what’s going on.’ And we were like, ‘What makes someone rage like that? What makes someone have a personality shift?’ ”

Lebron James, the best basketball player on the planet, overcoming his condition, and winning two NBA Championships.

Have you ever been out on the streets or maybe just at home enjoying your day when –boom- all of a sudden you feel your equilibrium is off and feel like the world is spinning?

You get a bit dizzy, unsteady, and you have to sit down.

It’s those moments when you look around the people around you and feel like no one else understands what you’re going through…

I understand. I know I do. We have treated others who had symptoms so bad they… …disappointed their children because they couldn’t attend their volleyball and basketball games because of it.. …missed celebrating anniversaries or birthdays because they just didn’t feel steady enough to go out... …felt frustrated because they just didn’t feel like themselves... …gotten so concerned because they started falling…

But just like Nicholas Cage, Lebron James, and others have overcome, so can you.

My name is Chuck Schulte. I am the Founder of Diamond Physical Therapy.

When patients can’t get out there and enjoy the simple things of daily life… they are here at my office attending my Balance and Dizziness Workshop… learning how to overcome their condition.

When patients feel … …scared because their world spins as they move or lay a certain way… …exasperated due to dizziness when they move their head quickly… …unsure of themselves…unsteady and can’t walk a straight path… …afraid that they might fall…or fall again… …resigned…and hopeless…thinking that they can’t be helped…they are here at my office attending my Balance and Dizziness Workshop.

Share my expertise and the expertise of my small army of Balance and Dizziness Specialists. During the workshop-• I will reveal the single biggest #1 mistake most vertigo and dizziness sufferers make…and how to not make this mistake…and if you make this mistake…learn how to overcome it.

• You will learn the 3 most common causes of vertigo…dizziness…balance problems…and unsteadiness.

• I will show you a sure fire way to pick the right treatment for the cause of your condition.

• CONSTRUCTION

Lorig Construction Co. workers measure and mark Route 23 for lane divider placement in preparation for the reconstructing and widening of the Route 23 bridge over the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway south of Marengo.

Continued from page A3

• LONGMEADOW PARKWAY: Work will continue this year on the longplanned but controversial project to build a 5.6-mile east-west corridor connecting Randall Road with Route 62 The $115 million project, complete with a toll bridge over the Fox River, will go through Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated areas of Kane County.

It faces significant opposition from both environmental groups and homeowners along the project path who allege it will decrease their quality of life.

The next phase of the project involves building the parkway from its starting point at Huntley and Boyer roads to Karen Drive just west of Route 31, with the next phase involving building the parkway’s Route 31 intersection.

Last year, workers rebuilt and improved the Huntley and Boyer road intersection.

Construction is expected to be finished in late 2019.

• ROUTE 14: Workers are just starting to repair the bridge over the Kishwaukee River west of Woodstock, near Bunker Hill Road just southeast from the McHenry County Conservation

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@ shawmedia.com

District building.

Traffic will be down to one lane with a temporary signal. The $642,571 project is expected to be finished in August, weather permitting.

• WOODSTOCK ROUNDABOUT: Work is expected to take place this year on a roundabout at Charles and Raffel

roads north of Woodstock.

The project was supposed to be built last year, but disagreement about the project prompted the McHenry County Board to send it back to committee, where it languished.

The board that since has been seated after the 2016 election has agreed to

move ahead with the project and voted last month to solicit bids.

Last year’s bid of $2.6 million to replace the crash-prone intersection near Woodstock North High School came in cheaper than the $3.6 million estimate to replace the two-way stop with a traditional signal intersection.

• MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Continued from page A7

Five years after the crash, on the way home from a family trip to Florida, the Conleys finally got their answer.

“I drove from … Montgomery, the very south of Alabama, and I drove all the way through to Kentucky,” Nicole said. “So Alabama to Tennessee to Kentucky. And it was all nighttime because it was in November, and I don’t remember blinking once.”

The next morning, after breakfast, Nicole had her first grand mal seizure.

“I sat her down, but it wasn’t going away this time,” Mary said. “It was lasting longer. We called them issues: She’d rub her fingers and smack her lips, [but] it didn’t go away, and instead it went into a full-blown convulsive seizure, and we called 911. And then we all knew what that was.”

What had been misdiagnosed as anxiety actually was refractory epilepsy.

Nicole’s fits of rage and other behavioral changes were actually petit mal – or miniseizures.

Now that the Conleys finally knew what they were dealing with, they were able to work with doctors to set up a treatment plan to control Nicole’s seizures. The treatment plan involved a daily regimen of medication for the remainder of her life. In that first year after her diagnosis, Nicole tried as many as 10 different medications to find the right cocktail that reduced the severity and frequency of her seizures.

Along with her grand mal seizures, however, these medications also diminished her quality of life.

“And now we’ve learned these medications are horrible,” Danielle said.

“They cause personality changes; they cause you to wet your bed. They cause you to have a rash from head to toe.

They can kill you.”

Nicole added: “I preferred having a few more petit mal [seizures] than medicine because it makes me so angry. It gives me so much rage.”

Illinois and medicinal marijuana

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program was enacted Aug. 1, 2013. This program allows patients suffering from one of the 30 qualified medical conditions to apply for a “medical cannabis registry identification card” and buy medical marijuana from one of the 51 licensed marijuana dispensaries throughout the state of Illinois.

In 2015, the program was expanded to allow for eligibility of children younger than 18. Seizure illnesses (including epilepsy) were added as a qualified condition as well. Last year, advocates of the program celebrated a major victory when post-traumatic stress disorder was added as a qualifying condition.

The pilot program has since been extended until 2020.

Photos by Candace H. Johnson for Shaw Media

Nicole Conley, 26, has drops of cannabis concentrate put behind her tongue by her sister, Danielle, to help control her epileptic seizures at their home in Island Lake.

He goes on to say, “I think that we have been told, as physicians, until last year that marijuana was illegal, and that if your patient was on it, you should counsel them to stop taking it because it’s an illegal drug, and it has no scientific benefits. Now we’re hearing – and there are good studies showing – that it can be a helpful medication and it’s very safe.”

nal benefits of marijuana.

When the pilot program was launched, Nicole was one of the first people to receive her medical marijuana card, and she consumes cannabis on a daily basis – and in a wide variety of forms based on the relief she is seeking.

She applies a homemade oil (cannabis concentrate mixed with coconut oil) on the soles of her feet or soaks drops of it underneath her tongue. She smokes it. She bakes it into homemade edibles.

As Danielle pointed out, “Everyone’s different, but I’ve noticed the smoking helps [Nicole] more with the nausea and the appetite and the instant relief.

But [the oils], you soak it under your tongue, and you’ll feel it in about 15 minutes. You swallow some, you’ll feel it in about an hour. You eat a brownie, it could take one to two hours, but it’ll last longer, and it’ll have different effects. It’ll calm the bowels down, it’ll reduce the inflammation, and it’ll relax you so much more and help you sleep.”

Although cannabis was not the miracle cure the Conleys were hoping for, it has allowed Nicole to reduce her pharmaceutical medicines down to just one instead of the “three or four” that most epileptics usually are required to manage their seizures.

The Conleys share their journey with medical cannabis with as many people as they can to help change the stigma surrounding it while continuing Nicole’s “patient-guided program” in hopes of finding the perfect combination that will eliminate her seizures entirely.

To date, her last convulsive seizure was in November, but the petit mal seizures persist.

“If we could do anything to stop her seizures,” Mary said, “we would do it.”

STATE Illinois mulls legalizing marijuana for fiscal boost

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Marijuana advocates are trying to lay the groundwork for Illinois to become the first state in the Midwest and the ninth nationwide to legalize recreational pot, arguing that the move will help solve the state’s notorious budget crisis.

Two Illinois state lawmakers introduced legislation last week that would allow residents 21 and older to possess, grow or buy up to an ounce (28 grams) of marijuana and license businesses to sell marijuana products subject to regulation. They said it would help fill Illinois’ multibillion-dollar budget hole with $350 million to $700 million in new tax revenue.

A national advocacy group, the Marijuana Policy Project, based the estimate on the proposal’s $50-per-ounce wholesale tax, Illinois’ standard sales tax, federal marijuana consumption data and recreational pot prices in Colorado. The proposal earmarks 50 percent of wholesale revenues for the state’s general fund and divides the remaining half 30/20 between education and public health.

Every state to legalize pot to date has done so by voter ballot initiative, said Chris Lindsey, a legislative analyst with the project. But Illinois advocates are not alone in holding out hope for lawmaker approval. Seventeen other states

News from across the state Health could affect deposition

by Daley in torture suit

CHICAGO – An undisclosed medical issue could affect whether former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley must give a deposition in a federal lawsuit alleging that he ignored evidence of widespread torture by a former police commander.

The issue arose after U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve recently granted an order sealing details about Daley’s medical condition.

A status hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Despite other attempts to get Daley to provide sworn testimony in similar lawsuits, it’s never happened. The city previously settled before Daley could be questioned.

– including Missouri – also are considering legislative action.

Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat who co-sponsored 2014 legislation that legalized medical marijuana in Illinois, is sponsoring the proposal in the House. She said states that legalized marijuana have seen an economic boost from increased tax revenue, new jobs and bolstered tourism.

“We’re talking about all sorts of ways of raising revenue,” Cassidy said, referring to state lawmakers’ efforts to

Chicago police: Man arrested after gun found in stroller

CHICAGO – A Chicago man outside with a 1-year-old boy has been arrested after police allegedly found a handgun and marijuana in his baby stroller.

Chicago police said 32-year-old Anthony Kennedy is charged with unlawful possession of a handgun by a felon, child endangerment and other charges.

A weekend police statement said officers responded to a call Friday afternoon of someone with a gun in a West Side neighborhood and approached Kennedy. As they did, Kennedy allegedly fled but was soon captured. The child with Kennedy is now in the care of relatives.

break a two-year budget logjam. “We might as well be talking about this, too.”

But she and fellow Chicago Democrat Sen. Heather Steans, who sponsored legislation that succeeded in decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of pot last year, know their new pitch could be a tough sell. They plan to jumpstart conversations with lawmakers, interest groups and the public this spring but won’t move legislation forward in the current session.

Injured police dogs to get ambulance rides

CHAMPAIGN – Police dogs hurt on the job in the Champaign area soon will be able to get an ambulance ride to a hospital along with emergency care on the way there.

Arrow Ambulance and the University of Illinois are teaming up to provide the ambulance ride to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital, The News-Gazette reported.

Dr. Michael Smith, medical director of Carle Regional EMS and Arrow Ambulance, said a University of Illinois veterinarian will train Arrow Ambulance crew members in the basics of dog emergency medical response next month. The training will be offered to Arrow crews covering Champaign, Douglas and Vermilion counties, as well as parts of Piatt and Ford counties.

Chief Deputy Allen Jones at the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office said police dogs in the area are probably injured

Key players like the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police currently oppose the measure. Ed Wojcicki, the association’s director, called legalizing recreational pot “an enforcement nightmare.” He said existing science remains inconclusive about how to best identify impairment on the road and in other compromising situations.

Democratic Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie, lead sponsor of the medical marijuana proposal, suggested the staggered timeline could help lawmakers gain a more complete picture of potential benefits and consequences – especially as more data rolls in on Illinois’ pilot medical marijuana program, which launched in late 2015.

“I do think this might be in Illinois’ future,” Lang said. “I certainly support the idea of having a discussion.”

Illinois legalization advocates such as Dan Linn, who directs the state chapter of a nonprofit lobbying group called NORML, have long been working toward this conversation. Linn said states where pot is legal have recorded no uptick in traffic fatalities. Instead of threatening public safety, he contended, regulating the already widely consumed substance will take the business out of the hands of criminals and impose important regulations like quality and age controls.

“There’s not a drug dealer in this country that asks for an ID when someone’s looking to buy drugs,” he said.

Still-active suburban Chicago writer to turn 110

CHICAGO – A still-active writer from Carol Stream who has written 11 self-published books and plans others is turning 110.

The Chicago Sun-Times spoke to Merle Phillips at her assisted-living facility. Her books are mostly autobiographical and sometimes evoke a bygone horse-andbuggy era.

Phillips was born April 2, 1907, in Arkansas. She studied math at Buena Vista College in Iowa and met her husband at the University of Iowa. He died in 1968.

The ex-chemistry lab worker said she began writing seriously in her 70s and sold her books door to door. Her latest is called “Beautiful Pebbles.”

Asked about advice she’d give young writers, she said: “If they want to write, just write.”

Blaming conservatives, Trump signals new openness to Dems

By HOPE YEN

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked conservative lawmakers for the failure of the Republican bill to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law, as aides signaled a greater willingness to work with moderate Democrats on upcoming legislative battles from the budget and tax cuts to health care.

On Twitter, Trump complained: “Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!”

The Freedom Caucus is a hard-right group of more than 30 GOP House members who were largely responsible for blocking the bill to undo the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.” The bill was pulled from the House floor Friday in a humiliating political defeat for the president, having lacked support from either the conservative Republicans or Democrats.

In additional fallout from Friday’s jarring setback, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, said he was leaving the caucus. Poe tweeted Friday that some lawmakers “would’ve voted against the 10 Commandments.”

“We must come together to find solutions to move this country forward,” Poe said Sunday in a written statement. “Saying no is easy, leading is hard but that is what we were elected to do.”

Trump initially focused his blame on Democrats for the failure and predicted a dire future for the current law.

But on Sunday, his aides made clear that Trump would be seeking support from moderate Democrats, leaving open the possibility he could still revisit health care legislation. White House chief of staff Reince Priebus scolded conservative Republicans, explaining that Trump had felt “disappointed” that a “number of peo-

ple he thought were loyal to him that weren’t.”

“It’s time for the party to start governing,” Priebus said. “I think it’s time for our folks to come together, and I also think it’s time to potentially get a few moderate Democrats on board as well.”

As he ponders his next steps, Trump faces decisions on whether to back administrative changes to fix Obamacare or undermine it as prices for insurance plans rise in many markets. Over the weekend, the president tweeted a promise of achieving a “great healthcare plan” because Obamacare will “explode.”

On Sunday, Priebus did not answer directly regarding Trump’s choice, saying that fixes to the health law will have to come legislatively and he wants to ensure “people don’t get left behind.”

“I don’t think the president is closing the door on anything,” he said.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Democrats stood ready to work with Trump to fix Obamacare if he is willing to drop attempts to repeal the law and not undermine it. He warned that Trump is destined to “lose again” on other parts of his agenda if he remains beholden to conservative Republicans.

“If he changes, he could have a different presidency,” Schumer said. “But he’s going to have to tell the Freedom Caucus and the hard-right special wealthy interests who are dominating his presidency ... he can’t work with them, and we’ll certainly look at his proposals.”

Their comments came after another day of finger-pointing among Republicans, both subtle and not-so subtle. On Saturday, Trump urged Americans in a tweet to watch Judge Jeanine Pirro’s program on Fox that night.

She led her show by calling for House Speaker Paul Ryan to resign, blaming him for defeat of the bill in the Republican-controlled chamber.

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has now laid out exactly what he wants in the “big, beautiful wall” that he’s promised to build on the U.S.-Mexico border. But his effort to build a huge hurdle to those entering the U.S. illegally faces impediments of its own.

It’s still not clear how Trump will pay for the wall that, as described in contracting notices, would be 30 feet high and easy on the eye for those looking at it from the north. The Trump administration will also have to contend with unfavorable geography and many legal battles.

A look at some of those obstacles:

MONEY

MEXICO CITY – The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico said Sunday that Mexican companies expressing interest in working on a border wall in the United States are betraying their country.

The archdiocese said in an editorial that Mexican companies have expressed willingness to supply materials or work on the wall proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Mexico opposes the wall.

The editorial was titled “Treason against the Homeland,” and said that “what is most surprising is the timidity of the Mexican government’s economic authorities, who have not moved firmly against these companies.”

In a meeting with steel companies in Mexico last week, Economy Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo said the government

cut other federal spending to pay for the wall and boosts to border security, while increasing military spending.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters this past week that the administration was still looking at how the wall would be funded, adding that it hasn’t given up on Mexico footing the bill.

GEOGRAPHY

Roughly half of the 2,000-mile

did not plan restrictions on businesses, but warned that Mexicans would judge and base future buying decisions on “which brands are loyal to the national identity, and which are not.”

“I think your prestige will align with your own interests in not participating in the wall,” Guajardo told the companies.

It is unclear how many Mexican companies have expressed interest in the wall.

The archdiocese said Mexican companies have expressed interest in supplying cement, paint, lighting and other materials.

“Any company that intends to invest in the fanatic Trump wall would be immoral, but above all, their owners and shareholders will be considered traitors to the homeland,” the editorial said.

– Wire report

U.S.-Mexico border is in Texas and marked by the winding and twisting Rio Grande. A 1970 treaty with Mexico requires that anything built near that river not obstruct its flow. The same treaty applies to a stretch of border in Arizona, where the Colorado River marks the international boundary.

Some fencing that already is in place along the frontier is built well off the river, in some places nearly a mile

away from the border.

Trump will have to navigate not only the treaty maintained by the International Boundary and Water Commission but also various environmental regulations that protect some stretches of border and restrict what kind of structures can be built and where. The contracting notices of March 17 say the Trump administration wants the wall dug at least 6 feet into the ground.

Along parts of the border in California, environmentally sensitive sand dunes required that a “floating fence” was built to allow the natural movement of the sand.

LEGAL CHALLENGES

Nearly all of the land along the Texas border is privately held – much of it by people whose families have been in the region for generations – and buying their land won’t be easy, as Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama discovered. Lawyers for both administrations fought in court with private landowners. Obama’s efforts to buy privately held land in the Rio Grande Valley have carried over into Trump’s term.

The Trump administration appears to be preparing for the legal fight and included a request for more lawyers to handle such cases in its budget proposal. Spicer said this past week the administration would “take the steps necessary” to fulfill Trump’s promise to secure the southern border.

U.S.-backed forces capture Syrian air base from IS

By PHILIP ISSA

The Associated Press BEIRUT – U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces captured a strategically important air base from Islamic State militants in north Syria on Sunday in the first major victory for the group since the U.S. airlifted the forces behind enemy lines four days ago.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces announced they had captured the Tabqa air base, 28 miles west of Raqqa, the Islamic State group’s de facto capital in Syria.

The U.S., which has provided substantial air and ground support to the SDF, ferried hundreds of SDF forces, as well as U.S. military advisers and U.S. artillery, behind IS lines earlier this week.

The airlift was a major development to the SDF’s multi-front campaign to bear down on Raqqa, as U.S.-backed Iraqi forces simultaneously press their assault to seize Mo-

sul from the militants, in neighboring Iraq. SDF forces are within 6 miles of Raqqa from the north.

Tabqa air base was captured by IS militants from the Syrian government in August 2014. Shortly afterward, the group announced it had killed about 200 government soldiers at the base, in a mass killing recorded and distributed on video over social media.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group also reported the SDF advance.

Meanwhile there were conflicting reports over whether civilians had begun evacuating Raqqa because of concerns over the stability of the nearby Tabqa Dam. The militants said U.S.-led coalition airstrikes had locked up the dam’s gates, causing the water level behind it to rise. The activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently reported that IS had ordered Raqqa residents to evacuate, though with-

out their furniture. Tabqa Dam is 25 miles upstream of Raqqa on the Euphrates River.

U.S.-led coalition forces said the dam was structurally sound.

U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces were in control of a spillway north of the dam “which can be used to alleviate pressure on the dam if need be,” the coalition said in a letter to The Associated Press.

The coalition says the dam has not been structurally damaged, to its knowledge, and says it has not targeted the dam.

The Observatory said there were no evacuations happening from Raqqa, as did the activist-run Raqqa 24 media center.

Raqqa 24 said engineers employed by the militants had restored power to the dam’s gates and the structure was functioning normally.

The reports from Raqqa came as a leading Syrian opposition group called on the U.S.-led coalition to stop

targeting residential areas in and around the city.

The Syrian National Coalition said in a statement that it was “increasingly concerned” about civilian casualties in the campaign against the extremist group. The exiled opposition coalition is taking part in U.N.-mediated talks in Geneva.

The SNC said it believed coalition forces were behind an airstrike that killed at least 30 civilians sheltering in a school in the countryside outside Raqqa on March 21. The coalition has said it is investigating.

The U.S. has provided substantial air and ground support to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who are closing in on Raqqa as well as the Tabqa Dam. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said coalition airstrikes have killed 89 civilians in Raqqa province in the past week, including 35 in a school in the village of Mansoura.

Trump promised that Mexico would pay for his wall, a demand Mexico has repeatedly rejected. Trump’s first budget proposal to Congress, a preliminary draft that was light on details, asked lawmakers for a $2.6 billion down payment for the wall. An internal report prepared for Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly estimated that a wall along the entire border would cost about $21 billion. Congressional Republicans have estimated a more moderate price tag of $12 billion to $15 billion. Trump himself has suggested a cost of about $12 billion.

It’s unclear how much money Congress will approve. Lawmakers have been balking at his plans to sharply

Merkel’s party wins state vote in Germany

By GEIR MOULSON

The Associated Press

BERLIN – Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative party easily won an election in Germany’s western Saarland state on Sunday, an unexpectedly strong performance as Merkel prepares to seek a fourth term in a national vote later this year.

The outcome was disappointing for her center-left rivals, the Social Democrats, in their first electoral test since nominating Martin Schulz in January as Merkel’s rival for the chancellery.

The party, which saw a boost in poll ratings with Schulz’s nomination, fell far short of its hoped-for first place finish and won too little support for a new left-wing government in the region of nearly 1 million people on the French border.

Conservative governor Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer’s popularity appeared to have trumped what has become known as the “Schulz effect.”

“In uncertain times, people trust the political force that governs reliably,” said Peter Tauber, the general secretary of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union. “The CDU is the only political force that distanced itself clearly from working with the populists of left and right.”

The CDU polled 40.7 percent in the election for Saarland’s state legislature. The Social Democrats received 29.6 percent of the vote.

Saarland is run by a “grand coalition” of the conservatives and Social Democrats, similar to Merkel’s governing alliance in Berlin. Sunday’s result means no other coalition is politically feasible.

Pre-election polls suggested a significantly tighter race. They pointed to the possibility of a Social Democrat-led government with the opposition Left Party – a prospect that may have turned off some voters.

The Left Party, born from the merger a decade ago of ex-communists with other left-wingers and relatively strong in Saarland, won 12.9 percent.

The left-leaning Greens dropped out of the state legislature, falling short of the 5 percent needed to keep their seats.

The nationalist Alternative for Germany, or AfD, won 6.2 percent of the vote. That means it is now represented in 11 of Germany’s 16 state parliaments, but Sunday’s result was far short of the party’s double-digit showings elsewhere last year.

AfD rode discontent over the influx of migrants to Germany in 2015 and 2016, but that issue has faded somewhat from headlines and the party has

suffered from infighting. No other party wants to work with it.

Kramp-Karrenbauer is one of only five conservative state governors, and her party’s showing was up from 35.2 percent in Saarland’s 2012 election.

The Social Democrats dipped from 30.6 percent, while turnout rose to 69.7 from 61.6 percent.

A loss for Kramp-Karrenbauer would have been a worrying signal for the CDU’s national campaign and for two bigger state elections in May – in Schleswig-Holstein and Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, both now led by the Social Democrats. The national election will be held on Sept. 24.

“This is a great start to the election year 2017,” said Michael Grosse-Broemer, the CDU’s chief whip in Berlin.

Schulz, a former European Parliament president but a newcomer to national politics, has boosted his party’s long-moribund poll ratings and injected it with new self-confidence. He is offering a classic, though often vague, center-left pitch of tackling economic inequality at home.

Schulz conceded that the Social Democrats’ performance fell short of his expectations, but said it wouldn’t deflect the party from its goal and told supporters to “look ahead with confidence.”

“Our goal is to achieve a change of government in the federal republic [of Germany],” he said. “And there has been a clear message to us this evening: this is a long-distance race, not a sprint.”

His party’s general secretary, Katarina Barley, said it was polling only 24 percent in Saarland before Schulz entered the scene. “The Schulz effect does exist, and it’s a long way to the national election,” she said.

Police detain a protester Sunday in downtown Moscow, Russia. Russia’s leading opposition figure Alexei Navalny and his supporters aim to hold anti-corruption demonstrations throughout Russia. But authorities are denying permission and police have warned they won’t be responsible for “negative consequences” or unsanctioned gatherings.

Nationwide protests bring thousands to Russia’s streets

By HOWARD AMOS and JIM HEINTZ The Associated Press

MOSCOW – Russia’s opposition, often written off by critics as a small and irrelevant coterie of privileged urbanites, put on an impressive nationwide show of strength Sunday with scores of protest rallies spanning the vast country. Hundreds were arrested, including Alexei Navalny, the anti-corruption campaigner who is President Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critic.

It was the biggest show of defiance since the 2011-2012 wave of demonstrations that rattled the Kremlin and led to harsh new laws aimed at suppressing dissent. Almost all of Sunday’s rallies were unsanctioned, but thousands braved the prospect of arrests to gather in cities from the Far East port of Vladivostok to the “window on the West” of St. Petersburg.

An organization that monitors Russian political repression, OVD-Info, said it counted more than 800 people arrested in the Moscow demonstrations alone. That number could not be confirmed and state news agency Tass cited Moscow police as saying there were about 500 arrests.

Navalny, who was arrested while walking from a nearby subway station to the demonstration at Moscow’s iconic Pushkin Square, was the driving force of the demonstrations. He called for them after his Foundation for Fighting Corruption released a report contending that Prime Minister Dmit-

ry Medvedev has amassed a collection of mansions, yachts and vineyards.

Navalny is a persistent thorn in the Kremlin’s side. He has served several short jail terms after arrests in previous protests and has twice been convicted in a fraud case, but given a suspended sentence. He intends to run for president in 2018 – an election in which Putin is widely expected to run for another term – even though the conviction technically disqualifies him.

Putin has dominated Russian political life, as president or prime minister, since 2000.

No overall figures on arrests or protest attendance were available. Some Russian state news media gave relatively cursory reports on the demonstrations; the state news TV channel Rossiya-24 ignored them altogether in evening broadcasts.

Police estimated the Moscow crowd at about 7,000, but it could have been larger. The 2.5-acre Pushkin Square was densely crowded as were sidewalks on the adjacent Tverskaya Street.

In St. Petersburg, about 5,000 protesters assembled in the Mars Field park, shouting slogans including “Putin resign!” and “Down with the thieves in the Kremlin!”

Russia’s beleaguered opposition is often seen as primarily a phenomenon of a Westernized urban elite, but Sunday’s protests included gatherings in places far from cosmopolitan centers, such as Siberia’s Chita and Barnaul.

Israeli settler leader: Population growth is end of 2-state solution The Associated Press

For the past two decades, the international community has overwhelmingly backed the idea of a two-state solution as the best way of reaching peace in the region and rejected Israeli settlements as obstacles to peace.

Without an independent Palestinian state, the thinking goes, Israel will remain in control over millions of Palestinians who do not have equal rights, forcing it to choose between its Jewish and democratic character.

Just weeks before Trump took office, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution declaring settlements illegal.

Ahmad Majdalani, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,

said Palestinian independence is the only way to peace and remains a possibility, despite settler efforts to derail it.

“The two-state solution was possible yesterday and today and at any time.

The two-state solution is not the problem,” he said. “Settlements are.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is dominated by pro-settler hard-liners who oppose Palestinian statehood on either security or religious grounds.

After years of clashes with President Barack Obama, Israeli hardliners have welcomed the election of Trump, who they perceive as being far more sympathetic to their cause.

Trump’s platform made no mention of a Palestinian state.

Iran strikes back at U.S. with ‘reciprocal’ sanctions

By NASSER KARIMI The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Sunday sanctioned what it described as 15 American companies, alleging they support terrorism, repression and Israel’s occupation of land Palestinians want for a future state, likely in retaliation for sanctions earlier announced by the U.S. The wide-ranging list from an American real estate company to a major arms manufacturer appeared more symbolic than anything else as the firms weren’t immediately known to be doing business anywhere in the Islamic Republic.

A Foreign Ministry statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency said the sanctions barred companies from any agreements with Iranian firms and that former and current directors would not be eligible for visas. It also said any of the companies’ assets in Iran could be seized.

“The sanctioned companies have, directly and/or indirectly, been involved in the brutal atrocities committed by the Zionist regime in the occupied Palestinian territories, or they have supported the regime’s terrorist activities and Israel’s development of Zionist settlements on the Palestinian soil,” the IRNA report said.

The IRNA report referred to the sanctions as a “reciprocal act,” without elaborating. Iran’s new sanctions comes after the Trump administration in February sanctioned more than two dozen people and companies in retaliation for a recent ballistic missile test.

The companies named did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday. They included ITT Corp., missile-maker Raytheon Co. and United Technologies Corp.

Denver’s Re/Max Holdings Inc., a real estate company, also made the list.

One of the named companies, Israeli defense contractor Elbit, declined to comment on the matter.

Another firm on the list, truck maker Oshkosh, has worked closely with Israeli armored products maker Plasan, including on the Sand Cat armored vehicle that is used by several countries, including Israel. The Israeli Defense Ministry reportedly is seeking to buy some 200 tactical trucks from the Oshkosh, Wisconsin-based company.

Kahr Arms and Magnum Research, two sanctioned firms which share the same parent company, advertise .44-caliber Magnum and .50-caliber “Desert Eagle” pistols – a product line that previously has been made in Israel.

Meanwhile, a senior Iranian lawmaker said Iran would consider a bill branding the U.S. military and the CIA as terrorist groups if the U.S. Congress passes a bill designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

Allaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, was quoted

by Iranian state television as saying the move to further sanction the Revolutionary Guard goes against the 2015 nuclear deal Iran reached with the United States and other world powers.

The nuclear deal saw Iran agree to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of some economic sanctions. In the time since, Chicago-based Boeing Co. has struck a $16.6 billion deal with Iran for passenger planes.

Tehran and Washington have had no diplomatic relations since 1979, when militant students stormed the U.S. Embassy and took 52 Americans hostages for 444 days. Tensions eased slightly with the nuclear deal struck by moderate President Hassan Rouhani’s administration, though hard-liners have detained those with Western ties in the time since.

Sunday’s sanctions announcement also comes ahead of a May presidential election in which Rouhani is expected to seek re-election.

JERUSALEM – The number of Israeli settlers living in the West Bank has soared by nearly one-quarter over the past five years to over 420,000 people, a prominent settler leader said Sunday, presenting new population figures that he said put to rest the internationally backed idea of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

Yaakov Katz issued his report as the Israeli government is locked in negotiations with the Trump administration over understandings that are expected to include some curbs on settlement construction.

“We are talking about a situation that is unchangeable,” he said Sunday.

“It’s very important to know the numbers, and the numbers are growing.”

According to Katz, the settler population hit 420,899 on Jan. 1, up 3.6 percent from 406,332 people a year earlier and a 23-percent increase from 342,414 at the beginning of 2012.

Katz said the numbers were based on data from the Interior Ministry that have not yet been made public. The ministry, which oversees the country’s population registry, had no comment. But

Peace Now, an anti-settlement watchdog group, said the numbers appeared reasonable.

The figures are being published on a new website sponsored by Bet El Institutions, a settler organization that counts members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle among its supporters.

Katz’s figures did not include settlement construction in east Jerusalem, where more than 200,000 Israelis now live. Altogether, he said the population growth – which is nearly double the 2-percent nationwide rate of annual population growth – means the settlements are “irreversible,” he said.

“Whatever Angela Merkel or Trump or anybody else is thinking about, it belongs to the past, not to the future,” he said.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek all three areas for a future independent state.

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, leading to the takeover of the territory by the Islamic militant group Hamas two years later. Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade over Gaza since then. Israel said the policy is needed to prevent Hamas from building up its ar-

Drought-stricken Somalia battles hunger, cholera

By MOHAMED SHEIKH NOR The Associated Press

BAIDOA, Somalia – An emaciated woman writhes on her hospital bed, weakly waving her bony hand to create a current of air.

Cholera patient Zeinab Hussein, a 50-year-old farmer, is one of thousands of desperate Somalis who have streamed into Baidoa in southwestern Somalia seeking food and medical care as a result the country’s prolonged drought.

The influx has overwhelmed local and international aid agencies.

The hospital ward is filled with the sound of crying, malnourished children, many fed through tubes in their noses.

The new patients, mostly children, show signs of chronic malnourishment when they arrive at therapeutic clinics run by UNICEF, aid workers said.

The cholera epidemic is most prevalent among women and children. Cholera outbreaks often occur in refugee camps because of overcrowding and poor sanitation. Water scarcity also remains a major problem among the new arrivals in the refugee camps. In recent weeks, aid agencies have started a cholera vaccination campaign across Somalia.

Newly displaced Somali children stand outside their makeshift shelter Saturday at a camp in Baidoa, Somalia. Somalia’s drought is threatening 3 million lives, according to the U.N., and in recent months, aid agencies have been scaling up their efforts but say more support is urgently needed to prevent the crisis from worsening.

Somalia’s drought is threatening 3 million lives, according to the U.N. In recent months, aid agencies have been scaling up their efforts, but they said said more support is urgently needed to prevent the crisis from worsening.

More aid “is very important if we want to prevent the cholera from going out of control and also to prevent famine. We have to get the funding now to prevent it,” Steven Lauwerier, UNICEF’s representative for Somalia,

said standing inside a Baidoa hospital ward.

“We are still ahead of the curve of the famine because now is when we can save lives,” he said. “This is not the time to have doubts that funding is not needed.”

Somalia’s emergency is joined by similar hunger crises in South Sudan, northeastern Nigeria and Yemen, which together make the world’s largest humanitarian disaster in more than 70 years, U.N. officials said.

In Somalia, drought-stricken families have had to move from one place to another in order to reach international aid agencies that cannot distribute food in areas under the control of al-Shabab, Somali’s homegrown Islamic extremist rebels who are affiliated with al-Qaida.

With her newborn baby, just 40 days old, Sangabo Madey walked for two days to reach a camp in Baidoa in search of food and water. Standing beside a hut of sticks and plastic sheeting, constantly blown by the wind, the mother of five said she does not know what to do next.

“We were unable to feed our children. Because of the drought we did not have anything to eat,” Madey said. “We left our hometowns to come here, but there is little aid coming in, and we still continue to suffer.”

a potential clue to his state of mind and his social media contacts.

Rudd said attacks such as Masood’s would be easier to prevent if authorities could penetrate encrypted services after obtaining warrants similar to the ones used to listen in on telephone calls or – in snail mail days – to steam open letters and read their contents.

Without a change in the system, she said terrorists would be able to communicate with each other without fear of being overheard even in cases where a legal warrant has been obtained.

Rudd also urged technology companies to do a better job at preventing the publication of material that promotes extremism. She plans to meet with firms Thursday about setting up an industry board that would take steps to make the web less useful to extremists.

British police investigating the attack said they still believe Masood, a 52-year-old Briton, acted alone and said they have no indications that further attacks are planned.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said it may never be possible to fully determine Masood’s motives.

“That understanding may have died with him,” Basu said Saturday night as police appealed for people who knew

Masood or saw him to contact investigators. “Even if he acted alone in the preparation, we need to establish with absolute clarity why he did these unspeakable acts, to bring reassurance to Londoners.”

The Islamic State group, which is losing territory in Iraq and Syria but still has radical followers in other parts of the world, has claimed Masood was a “soldier” carrying out its wishes to attack Western countries.

Masood had convictions for violent crimes in the U.K. and spent time in prison. He also worked in Saudi Arabia teaching English for two years and traveled there again in 2015 on a visa designed for religious pilgrimages.

Along with the man arrested Sunday, a 58-year-old man detained in Birmingham several days ago remains in custody in the case. Nine others arrested after the attack have been freed without charges, while one person was released on bail.

The family of slain police officer Keith Palmer, meanwhile, released a statement thanking those who tried to save his life.

“There was nothing more you could have done. You did your best, and we are just grateful he was not alone,” the statement said.

Nuclear plant closings overwhelming small U.S. towns

By JOHN SEEWER

The Associated Press OAK HARBOR, Ohio – Living in the shadows of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant’s cooling tower, which soars above Lake Erie in Ohio like an oversized lighthouse, brings with it some give-and-take.

On the plus side, it generates tax money that once paid for a high school swimming pool and auditorium. Then there are the stockpiles of radiation pills and emergency drills for students in case of a disaster.

For the small, mostly rural towns that are home to 61 U.S. nuclear plants that produce one-fifth of the nation’s electricity, each one has been like the golden goose supplying high-paying jobs and money for roads, police and libraries.

But those same places and their residents are bracing for what may come next because of the soaring costs of running aging reactors that have speeded up the closings of a handful of sites and are threatening at least a dozen more.

That’s because once the power stops flowing, so does the money.

Towns that already have seen nuclear plants shuttered now are dealing

Boats wrapped and stored for winter sit March 20 near the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station along Lake Erie in Oak Harbor, Ohio. with higher property taxes, cuts in services and less school funding – a new reality that may linger for decades.

In Wisconsin, the tiny town of Carlton saw the source of about 70 percent of its yearly budget disappear when the Kewaunee nuclear power plant

closed four years ago.

That resulted in the first town tax in its history.

“Financially, we benefited, but now we’re going to pay the price for the next 40 years,” said David Hardtke, the town chairman.

When operations ceased at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant along Florida’s Gulf Coast, “it was like something going through and wiping out a third of your county,” said Citrus County Administrator Randy Oliver.

To make up the difference, property tax rates went up by 31 percent, and 100 county workers were let go – so many that Oliver worries there won’t be enough to evacuate residents and clear roads if a major tropical storm hits.

While the nation’s fleet of nuclear power plants wasn’t designed to last forever, closures are happening earlier than expected because repair costs are astronomical, and it’s harder to compete with cheaper natural gasfired plants and renewable energy sources.

The former head of the nuclear industry’s trade group said last year that economic pressures have put 15 to 20 plants at risk of a premature shut-

down.

FirstEnergy Corp. will decide by next year whether to close or sell its plant in Pennsylvania and two in Ohio, including Davis-Besse, unless the states change regulations to make them more competitive.

The uncertainty around Davis-Besse and a plan to lower its value caused the local school board to shelve plans to build a new elementary building for the district, which stands to lose $8 million a year without the plant.

New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., owner of the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, announced plans late last year to close in 2018 even though it has a license to keep operating another 14 years.

How much the losses will add up to isn’t yet clear, said Dennis Palgen, a township supervisor where the plant has operated since 1971.

“We’re just in a state of limbo right now,” he said, adding that plans to buy a new fire truck are on hold.

The plant and its 600 workers have been good neighbors, he said, buying backpacks for school children and emergency generators for the township. “The list goes on and on,” Palgen said.

LONDON – Westminster Bridge attacker Khalid Masood sent a WhatsApp message that cannot be accessed because it was encrypted by the popular messaging service, a top British security official said Sunday.

British press reports suggested that Masood used the messaging service owned by Facebook just minutes before the Wednesday rampage that left three pedestrians and one police officer dead and dozens more wounded.

As controversy swirled over the encrypted messages, police made another arrest in Birmingham, England, where Masood had lived. The 30-year-old is one of two men now in custody over possible links to the attack. Neither has been charged or publicly named. Masood was shot dead on the grounds of Parliament.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd used appearances on BBC and Sky News to urge WhatsApp and other encrypted services to make their platforms accessible to intelligence services and police trying to carrying out lawful eavesdropping.

“We need to make sure that organizations like WhatsApp – and there are plenty of others like that – don’t provide

a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other,” she said.

Rudd did not provide any details about Masood’s use of WhatsApp, saying only “this terrorist sent a WhatsApp message and it can’t be accessed.”

But her call for a “back door” system to allow authorities to retrieve information is likely to meet resistance from the tech industry, which has faced previous law enforcement demands for access to data after major attacks.

In the U.S., Apple fought the FBI’s request for the passcodes needed to unlock an iPhone that had been used by one of the perpetrators in the 2015 extremist attack in San Bernardino, California.

The FBI initially claimed it could obtain the data only with Apple’s help, but ultimately found another way to hack into the locked phone.

Masood drove a rented SUV into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before smashing it into Parliament’s gates and rushing onto the grounds, where he fatally stabbed a policeman and was shot by other officers. A detailed police reconstruction has found the entire attack lasted 82 seconds.

Police are trying to pinpoint his motive and identify any possible accomplices, making the WhatsApp message

OUR VIEW: McHENRY COUNTY ENDORSEMENTS

Cary mayor: Kownick Cary trustee Jim Cosler is challenging incumbent Mark Kownick for mayor of Cary.

Cosler met with success as a write-in candidate for trustee in 2015 with a wave of support from Cary residents, which he credits to his ability to reach out to the community on social media and a regular newsletter. He lists bringing in new businesses to generate more sales tax revenue and meeting with every business to encourage communication with the village among his goals.

During Kownick’s first term, he was able to streamline the process for businesses to receive incentives and obtain permits, planned for the redevelopment of the Metra station and downtown, maintained a balanced budget and was instrumental in promoting new and expanding businesses, including in the expansion of Sage Products, which brought hundreds of new jobs to the village. He also was involved in bringing more affordable housing to the village, a cause long supported by this editorial board, though it was opposed by a very vocal opposition.

Kownick’s goals for his next term include annexing vacant property along Cary’s border for commercial development, developing the property around Meyer Material, attracting more commercial development along Route 31 and filling vacant businesses.

We endorse Kownick.

Lake in the Hills village president: Ruzanski Two candidates seek a nod from voters to lead Lake in the Hills as village president – Village Trustee Russ Ruzanski is challenging incumbent Village President Paul Mulcahy.

Mulcahy has served admirably in Lake in the Hills for 20 years in appointed and elected positions including as a village trustee, as chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission and chairman of the Summer Sunset Festival Committee.

During his term as village president, Lake in the Hills has not increased its tax levy and the village’s efforts in sharing services with other municipalities is to be lauded.

Ruzanski, who also volunteers with children at the local food pantry, wants to look for opportunities to reduce the village’s budget and look into joint bidding with other communities for public works projects.

While we don’t know all of the reasons, the village decided to go in a new direction after the most recent village administrator was hired three months ago. Mulcahy says many candidates were thoroughly vetted with a great deal of input and the selection was unanimously approved by the village board.

But, ultimately, that decision rests with Mulcahy.

We’re also concerned about a pending domestic battery charge from an incident with a woman in November.

Because of these concerns, we endorse Ruzanski.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Organ donor issues

To the Editor: I find it appalling that 22 people die each day waiting for an organ donation. There is such an extreme shortage of organs because although 95 percent of adults support organ donation, only 4 percent actually are signed up to be donors.

I believe people should have the right to buy and sell their body parts. Not only would a market for transplantable organs save many lives, but it also would benefit the people selling them. At first thought, a market for organs may seem unethical, however, free markets have great power to improve the lives of everyone involved. When thought about on a deeper level, a market for human body parts has the ability to save lives.

People should have property rights over their own body parts and these rights would allow them to sell their organs. Why are we letting innocent people die when there could be a solution? We need to leave the past behind and adopt a new way to deal with the shortage of organs.

Elect Cosler in Cary

To the Editor: Honest. Caring. Trustworthy. Inclusive. Fair. Accessible. Responsive. This is how my wife and I feel about Cary Village Trustee Jim Cosler. We didn’t know Jim prior to the Pedcor issue, personally or professionally. However, it quickly became evident to us that Jim possesses leadership traits that citizens aspire for our representatives.

A shining accomplishment of Jim’s leadership helped pave the way to video-record village

meetings. This significant increase in accessibility by residents to watch government in action, even from the comfort of their own homes, is a direct result of Cosler’s leadership enabling residents to be better-informed citizens. Trustee Cosler has proven his dedication to the well-being and future of Cary. Whether you’re a resident, business owner or visitor, Jim Cosler will represent and advocate fairly. He fills the bill in a big way and we strongly endorse Jim Cosler to be our Cary mayor.

Hal M. Rubel Cary,

Sager for mayor

To the Editor: I have had the privilege of serving on the Woodstock City Council with Mayor Brian Sager for the past six and a half years. I have found Mayor Sager to be a passionate advocate for the constituents of the city. Under his leadership, the city has saved taxpayers money by not taking the automatic increase in property taxes allowed under law; he has expanded the economic development opportunities of the city, including Enterprise Zone; he spearheaded efforts to assist the homeless population; he tirelessly advocates for the improvement to Route 47; he continues to maintain a balanced budget; and helped secure a 10 percent reduction in the city’s property tax levy. His job, at times, can be thankless and subject to criticism, however, I do not believe we could have a more loyal and empathetic person in the role of mayor for all of the citizens of the city and urge you to vote for him.

Why judges must consider the travel ban’s intent

By DAVID COLE

The Washington Post Should courts look behind the four corners of President Donald Trump’s second executive order temporarily banning entry from a group of Muslim-majority countries in assessing its legality? The constitutionality of the order turns on the answer.

Both federal judges who have enjoined the order - Derrick Watson in Hawaii and Theodore Chuang in Maryland - concluded that it was appropriate to consider statements of Trump and his surrogates, and that those statements, made both before and after inauguration, doomed the order by showing that it was designed to target Muslims. But the Trump administration insists that judges cannot consider the purpose of those who drafted and promulgated the order. Last week, several conservative judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, dissenting from that court’s refusal to reconsider its decision invalidating the first travel ban, backed the Trump administration’s view. Who is right?

The issue is central because the executive order itself does not expressly cite Islam as a justification, but Trump and his aides and advisers could not have been clearer that the order is designed to effectuate the Muslim ban that Trump repeatedly promised during the campaign and after. If one looks only at the order, the government argues, it must be upheld, because it bars entry not of Muslims as such, but only of the nationals of six countries whose populations just happen to be between 90.7 percent and 99.8 percent Muslim.

The government does not even try to argue that the order can survive anestablishment-clause challenge if one considers the statements of Trump and his agents, and the history of its adoption.

The question is made difficult by the fact that there are two apparently contradictory lines of relevant judicial precedent that have never yet met. On the one hand, the court’s establishment-clause jurisprudence provides that the validity of a government action turns on its purpose, which is determined by whether a reasonable observer, aware of all the relevant facts and circumstances, would deem the government to be targeting a specific religion. Even formally neutral laws are invalid if context makes clear that they are aimed to favor or disfavor a particular religion. Accordingly, the court has directed that judges must not “turn a blind eye to the context in which [the] policy arose,” and has considered statements made in town hearings, and the manner in which laws have been adopted and implemented - evidence outside the text of a law or order itself.

In immigration, however, the gov-

ernment argues that as long as the order is “facially legitimate and bona fide,” it cannot be struck down, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. The Supreme Court has applied that deferential standard to U.S. citizens’ challenges to the exclusion of a communist economist, Ernest Mandel, who had violated the terms of his visa on an earlier visit, and to a law providing different immigration benefits to foreign children of unwed U.S. citizen mothers than to the foreign children of unwed U.S. citizen fathers.

The Trump administration says these cases mean the courts can never look behind an immigration executive order. On this theory, the courts would have to uphold the executive order even if Trump, upon signing it, had announced, “I do this to make crystal clear that Christianity is America’s official religion, and that Islam has no place here.”

That cannot be right. The establishment clause demands that the government remain neutral as between religious denominations, and makes no exception for border control.

If it violates the establishment clause to put up the Ten Commandments in a courthouse because doing so impermissibly mixes politics and religion and makes non- adherents feel marginalized, surely a national immigration policy designed to bar Muslims does as well. And the effect of the government’s action hinges on more than the four corners of a document, but on its purpose, which must be and always has been gleaned from the surrounding circumstances.

So does the immigration or the establishment-clause test govern? The answer should depend on the nature of the government’s action. Deference is proper when the political branches draw customary and “bona fide” immigration lines, especially when there is no suggestion of an improper purpose. It makes sense to defer to immigration decisions based on family ties or adherence to visa conditions, because it is next to impossible to regulate immigration without drawing such lines. But the Trump administration has advanced no reason immigration law should be a tool for denigrating religion.

Establishing religion has never been a proper goal of immigration law - or any law. Targeting Islam violates the rights of Americans, whatever form it takes; there is no justification for giving the government a pass because it is regulating the border.

When Trump signed the first travel ban, he said, “We all know what that means.” We do, indeed. And judges, no less than the rest of us, must not blind themselves to what “we all know.”

28 Eustachian tube blockage can cause problems Dear Doctor: My hearing loss is related to my Eustachian tubes: They stay closed. I can open them and improve my hearing by holding my nose and blowing, but the effect lasts only a short time. Hearing aids don’t help. What can I do?

Dear Reader: First, let’s consider the size and location of the Eustachian tubes, one on each side of your head. Only half a centimeter wide, each one starts behind the nose and travels through cartilage and bone toward the middle ear, an air-filled chamber bordered on one side by the eardrum. The pressure within the middle ear should be equal to the air pressure outside, and the Eustachian tube is the only way for the body to equalize these pressures. This gas pressure homeostasis is necessary for optimal hearing.

The most common reason that the Eustachian tube closes is from inflammation within the tube and secretions that can block it from opening. With the tube closed, the middle ear has no way for the air to go in or out. When that happens, the air in the middle ear gets absorbed by the surrounding structures, creating a negative pressure in the middle ear.

The sensation is similar to how your ears feel at the bottom of a pool. This negative pressure makes it even more difficult for the Eustachian tube to open, increasing to the point where fluid starts to fill the middle ear. In severe cases, blockage of the Eustachian tube can lead to vertigo and balance problems.

Now let’s look at the possible causes for a closed Eustachian tube. In my experience, the most common cause is chronic nasal congestion, either from allergies or environmental irritants. Infection of the adenoids, sinus or nose also are likely causes; to determine this, an ear, nose and throat doctor would visualize the adenoids to assess their condition.

Chronic nasal swelling is another potential culprit. If that’s the case, medications such as nasal steroids, leukotriene inhibitors and antihistamines could decrease the

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley swelling, opening your Eustachian tubes and thus improving your hearing.

Note that one study, however, did not show significant change in Eustachian tube dysfunction with the use of a common steroid delivered via nasal spray, Nasacort.

In addition, an over-the-counter expectorant, guaifenesin, could thin secretions sufficiently in the Eustachian tube to help clear it.

Essentially, the treatment depends on the cause. For inflammation and closure of the Eustachian tube caused by infection, antibiotics can help. For inflammation caused by acid reflux, which can lead to inflammation in the nasopharynx, look for ways to decrease acid reflux. If adenoids are blocking the Eustachian tube, the adenoids can be surgically removed.

As for medications, if those are ineffective, either balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube or laser therapy can be used to clear the opening in the nasopharynx. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Eustachian tube dysfunction can be treated and, because symptoms can worsen, it should not be ignored.

Also, a note to my readers: A recent column on the potential link between proton pump inhibitors and heart disease referred to a study involving both clopidogrel and Plavix. In fact, they’re the same drug. The reference should have said that researchers found an increase in the rate of heart events among those taking a proton pump inhibitor and clopidogrel/Plavix after angioplasty, but no difference in death rates. Thanks to those readers who pointed this out.

Dear Abby: My wife and I recently moved, taking jobs that are closer to our son and daughter-in-law. They have no children but want to start a family, and we are praying for our first grandchild.

When they take business trips (which is often), I take care of their cats and dogs. A few days ago, while I was in their bedroom (where the cats are kept), I saw an anatomically correct sex toy that had been left on the bed stand.

I’m no prude, but should I say something to my son? We have an excellent relationship. I’m concerned that he may need some fatherly advice if they are having conception problems. What do you think? – Con-

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Realistic and responsible behavior will be essential this year. Control, discipline and precision will ensure that you reach your goals. Making personal improvements and nurturing important relationships will have a stabilizing effect on you.

If you listen to the voice of reason and experience, you will exceed your expectations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t miss out on an opportunity that can change your life. Size up the situation and make your decision intelligently, without listening to someone’s persuasive tactics.

Be a leader, not a follower.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get out and get active. Learn as you go and strive for perfection

and tolerance. Check out what others do, but don’t be a follower.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Lead the fight for justice. Question someone’s inconsistency and ulterior motives. Initiate discussions and bring about positive change. Take control, do your part and secure your position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Temptation will be your downfall. Moderation on all levels will be necessary to avoid controversy and damage to your reputation, status and emotional health.

Keep a low profile.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Size things up and take control. You are in a position to do some good, so don’t back down when you should be moving forward. Establish your position and make decisions that promote positive change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You should take action only when you are sure you are doing the right thing. Act on principle, facts and common sense.

Your practical nature and astute insight will help you excel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t let anyone spoil your day or ruin your plans. You cannot please everyone, but you can be responsible for your own happiness. Offer peace and love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make changes at home or to a relationship that will encourage unity, strength and a clear passage to a brighter future. How you relate to those around you will improve your status.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t be fooled by someone using persuasive emotional tactics.

Ask questions and look for alternatives that are

more beneficial to your current situation. Don’t promise what you cannot deliver.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Look for clarity before you make an assumption. Being a cautious observer is in your best interest. Avoid unnecessary stress and pressure by steering clear of anyone acting erratic or unpredictable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Use your resources and search for opportunities that will benefit you financially, contractually or medically. Someone you have worked with in the past will offer pertinent information.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t share private information or feelings that might put you in an awkward or vulnerable position. Live up to your promises, but protect yourself against being taken for granted. Invest in yourself and your talents.

Cat “Maxie” Gray

Sigmund Freud said, “From error to error one discovers the entire truth.”

Bridge players make lots of mistakes. Bridge writers ought to make far fewer, if only because there is software to help with deal analysis.

When I read about today’s deal, the author said that if declarer in four spades played to ruff hearts in the dummy after the trump lead, he would fail. Is that true?

South was right to open one spade despite having only 11 highcard points. He had the majors, two aces and an easy rebid. He also had a seven-loser hand (two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs) should partner have a fit for one of the majors. North described a gameforce with three-card spade support.

(In two-over-one game-forcing, North would have rebid two spades, and South would have jumped to game with his minimum opening.)

First, South checked his losers. He had none in spades, three in hearts, one in diamonds and one in clubs -- two too many. But then he wisely counted winners if he did ruff two hearts on the board. He saw five spades, one heart, two clubs and those two ruffs -- 10 in all.

Declarer won the first trick with dummy’s spade king, played the heart queen to the king and ace, ruffed a heart low, played a club to his ace and ruffed another heart.

Then he could have either led the club queen to establish his second trick in the suit or exited with a diamond to open up a channel to his hand with a diamond ruff so that he could draw trumps.

Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds

March 27, 2017 McHenry County Dept. of Planning and Development, Community Development Division 2200 N. Seminary Woodstock, Illinois, 60098 (815) 334-4560 Fax # (815) 337-3720 These Notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by McHenry County.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about April 12, 2017, McHenry County will submit a request to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Chicago Regional Office for the release of HOME Investment Partnership Program funds as provided by the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Act (Title II, Pub. L. 101-625), as amended, to undertake projects known as: McHenry County Housing Authority for the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program which will assist very low-income McHenry County residents with necessary repairs or replacement of home components with HOME funds in the amount of $162,056.20.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT McHenry County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at McHenry County Department of Planning and Development at 667 Ware Road, Room 207B, Woodstock, Illinois, 60098, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. In addition, the EER may be reviewed at the following site: https://www.onecpd.info/environmentalreview/environmental-review-records PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development, c/o Zak Klehr, 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock, IL 60098. Comments can also be emailed to zaklehr@co.mchenry.il.us. All comments received

by April 11, 2017 will be considered by McHenry County prior to submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The County of McHenry certifies to the HUD Chicago Regional Office that Jack Franks in his official capacity as Chairman of the McHenry County Board consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relations to environmental reviews, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows McHenry County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept any objections to its release of funds and McHenry County's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following basis: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of McHenry County; (b) McHenry County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58), and shall be addressed to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Planning and Development Divisions, Attn: Ray E. Willis, Director, 77 W. Jackson Blvd, Chicago, Illinois, 60604. Potential objectors should contact HUD Chicago Regional Office (tel 312-913-8705 or via fax 312-9138293) to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

These remarkable treatments can repair tissue in the body that has been damaged from age, disease or degeneration. They do this by pinpointing the impaired areas, removing the swelling with powerful anti-inflammatory properties and healing them by regenerating cells and tissue.

This innovative therapy is particularly effective in treating such conditions as degenerative arthritis, degenerative cartilage and ligaments, bone spurs, degenerative joint disease, bursitis and tendinitis, especially Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

According to the Stem Cell Institute of America chief medical officer, patients can experience a significant decrease in pain and an improvement in range of motion within weeks of treatment.

“We are so excited about the results we are seeing with our Crystal Lake patients. More Importantly, our patients are excited about living their lives enjoying the activities they enjoy. We invite you to attend one of our upcoming seminars near your home, to learn more about this incredible healing technology and how it might be able to help you or someone you love finally live a pain free life.” Dr. Jill Howe DC, CNPS, Chicagoland Director for the Stem Cell Institute of America

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS SWIMMER OF THE YEAR

LEADING THE WAY Cary-Grove co-op’s Ethan Hare paces relay team to state berth

By JOHN WILKINSON

wilkinson@shawmedia.com All winter Cary-Grove co-op senior Ethan Hare kept his focus firmly on returning to the state meet. As the only returning swimmer from a 2016 state relay, Hare knew what times the Trojans needed to be swimming at each point of the season. As the team’s senior captain, he knew he had to set the example and push his teammates to get back to the state’s biggest meet.

That work paid off when he helped the Cary-Grove co-op 200-yard freestyle relay team reach state, where it won its preliminary heat with a time of 1:27.3, but didn’t advance to the finals.

Hare also was the only local swimmer to qualify for the state meet in an individual race, reaching the prelims of the 200-yard freestyle. Hare swam a 1:44.36 in his heat, taking third, and placing 26th out of 39 swimmers.

Before the state series, Hare won two individual races and was on two winning relays at the Fox Valley Conference meet, where he was named coMVP and helped the Trojans take their 10th consecutive conference title.

For those accomplishments, Hare was named the Northwest Herald’s 2017 Boys Swimmer of the Year, as selected by the sports staff with input from local coaches.

Hare recently talked with reporter John Wilkinson about superstitions, making it to state, listening to classic rock and more.

What was your favorite moment of this season?

Hare: That would have to be the 200

free relay at the state meet. That was something that we had been working toward all year and to get back there with a bunch of guys that are great friends, great teammates, to drop time at state, win our heat and we had the other guys that were on the sectional team up in the stands supporting us. It was just a really cool experience all around.

What made the biggest difference for you this season?

Hare: I guess the mentality that this

was possibly my last year as a swimmer. I’m still undecided if it is or not. I just wanted to make sure that I would go out with a bang and leave the team with something good, because I’ve been swimming for eight years and I wanted to make sure that for me, but as well as for my team, I’d end in the best way possible.

Cary-Grove co-op’s Ethan Hare is the 2017 Northwest Herald Boys Swimmer of the Year.

Which teammate made you laugh the most?

Hare: Kolin Fadden. It’s not even on

purpose either, that’s what makes him the funniest teammate. He’s just got the best comments, the best asides, at the best times, too. It’s nice to have him around. He can keep you loose in a tense situation.

Who is a professional athlete you’d like to hang out with for a day?

Hare: Probably Patrick Kane. I’ve

been a hockey fan for a while and a Blackhawks fan, and I just look up to him as an athlete, and I think it would be really cool to see what he’s like.

What superstitions do you have?

Hare: I actually have a ton. I guess

the main ones would be, I always walk around with a jacket and shorts at a swim meet, and I’ve always got to keep the goggles in the right pocket and the cap in the left. If those are flipped, or if I’ve got them in the same pocket, that throws me all off. There’s that, and then before every race, I’ll do a routine of shaking out my arms twice each, legs twice each and then I’ll do a couple

freestyle strokes in the air.

What do you listen to when you’re getting ready for a race?

Hare: I’m a huge classic rock fan, so

it’s all stuff like that. Usually some Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, those are some of my favorite bands, so those are what I’ve got going pre-race.

What’s the best coaching or advice you’ve received?

Hare: That would probably be to

never forget to have fun. Because I’ve seen so many athletes work themselves up too much at a big meet, and then they forget that a big part of the sport, any sport, the purpose is to have fun. So I think the best advice I’ve ever received is just to balance the work with the fun.

What do you want to study in college?

Hare: In college, I’m going on a

pre-medicine track, and I’m going to major in biology and minor in neuroscience.

What made you want to do that?

Hare: My mom is an advanced

practice nurse, and that’s always been something that I’ve been very interested in, health professionals. I just think it’s

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

a very noble profession, and I’ve always wanted to know that whatever I did with my life, I would be making a genuine difference in the world each and every day. With a field like this I know I would be fulfilling that.

What’s your favorite place you’ve ever swam?

Hare: Probably the Y(MCA) nationals

swim meet in Greensboro, North Carolina. The nicest facility I’ve ever been to, it’s a really cool place, really cool atmosphere.

What’s your least favorite stroke?

Hare: Breaststroke. That one took

me the longest time to figure out. I’ve struggled the most with that one, trying to figure out how to be the most efficient with that.

Who is someone you look up to?

Hare: My coach. I really do look up

to Scott [Lattyak]. His general mindset and attitude toward life is something I hope to achieve someday. I think he’s a very intelligent man, and I think he is an excellent coach. He knows how to be adaptable and make sure everyone on

Josh Howden counts reps as his father, Pat “Crazy Pat” Howden, 73, sets a record doing 5,800 triceps extensions with 8-pound weights Sunday at his home in Harvard.

“I got it warmed up,” he said.

Howden sought a couple times to be recognized by Guinness World Records, but there is no category for him. Pat and Deb Howden are frequent travelers, and everywhere they go he finds gyms and asks whether they know anyone doing what he does. The answer is always, “No.” He has been filmed by several TV crews doing other lifting feats, often while on vacation.

Such as the time he did 2,000 reps of close-grip bench press with 40 pounds.

Some good advice if you see Howden in a gym: Don’t wait for that bench, just find something else to do.

Since he never found anything to dispute it, Howden has a letter jacket with a Dean’s Foods logo on the front, while the back reads: “World Record

Holder Weight Lifting.” And if anyone wanted to question it, he’d gladly welcome a contest … but you’ll need a couple of hours.

Howden usually has something to do. He hunts for and collects Native American artifacts, he has found more then 300 gold rings with his metal detector, and his goal for 2017 is 1 million reps (of various exercises) and to walk 1,000 miles (he usually does 3 miles a day).

“I never use the term ‘can’t,’ ” he said.

Howden eats a lot of fruits and vegetables, and drinks mostly milk and water. He will be 74 in June, but proudly says, “I feel like I’m 25.”

Finally, about 1:45 Sunday afternoon, Pat asked Josh if he was close.

Josh told him he needed 55 more reps.

I have built with all the guys that I’ve swam with over the years. The team has definitely changed quite a bit, and there are people from each and every year and it just gets better and better. I really do enjoy the genuine friendships that have been built on this team, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

“I’m dog tired,” Howden said, which was a little refreshing.

After that, he stood up for the first time in 105 minutes, gave himself a quick muscle rubdown and was ready for lunch. He and his family were heading to the Golden Corral in Algonquin to launch an assault on the buffet.

Before Howden was even finished lifting, he reeled off the list of food he planned on eating. It was almost as long as his number or reps.

But hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little indulgence. He earned it.

What was it like for you being the team’s leader this year?

Hare: I consider it to be a huge honor.

Being named not only the captain but being looked at as a leader is something that I worked years and years for. To finally achieve that as a senior is a great honor. When our end-of-season banquet happened, I had about 12 or 13 of the varsity guys that trained with me come up to me and hand me a letter that they wrote about how much I meant to them and how much I influenced them and what a positive aspect to the team that I was. In all honesty, that moment there is worth any medal or time that I ever could have achieved, to know that I made that much of a difference in these guys’ lives.

HARVARD – Pat Howden would be the worst workout partner in the world.

He’s a bench hog. When Howden plops down, he’s going to be there for a while. A really long while.

The 73-year-old Harvard man may do one set a day, but his set takes as long as another person’s entire workout.

“Crazy Pat” Howden, a nickname he embraces, laid down on his bench at noon Sunday and cranked out 5,800 triceps extensions using 8-pound dumbbells. He finished at 1:45 p.m., which may have been more of a relief to his son, Josh, whose right thumb was hitting the clicker to keep track of every repetition.

“When I’m at a gym and I tell people, they say, ‘You’re going to do what?

That’s crazy!’ ” Howden said.

Howden’s workouts are hardly conventional, yet highly effective. He weighs 148 pounds, and at a recent doctor’s appointment, the nurse thought something was wrong because his blood pressure was too low.

Howden started lifting weights about age 60 and developed his own routine. A recovering alcoholic, he found a healthier way to occupy his nights after work.

Howden goes for light weights and megareps. His lifting is akin to ultramarathon runners – he’s there for endurance not speed.

Just think about doing anything, without stopping, for 90 minutes or more. Naps don’t count.

Even Howden admits that he gets bored by doing so many reps. He usually has music playing to help occupy his mind. Harder than the reps, he said, is keeping count. About 1,000 reps in Sunday, Josh said his thumb was fine.

4 CUBS

‘Reign Men’ documentary impressive hit

By BRUCE MILES

The Cubs celebrate their win after the final out of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

bmiles@dailyherald.com If you’re a Cubs fan, you can’t get enough of World Series replays and documentaries about last year’s championship.

One more is coming, and you need to make room for it.

At 9:30 p.m. Monday, Comcast SportsNet Chicago will premiere an original documentary, “Reign Men: The Story behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.”

The documentary, narrated by Brett Eldredge, was produced, written and edited by CSN’s Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey.

Unlike previous programs, “Reign Men” focuses solely on Game 7, when the Cubs blew a lead and then rallied to beat the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings. The title plays off the 17-minute rain delay before the 10th inning, when right fielder Jason Heyward gathered his Cubs teammates in the weight room and gave them a pep talk.

What sets this documentary apart from the others is how it came about.

There’s a nice element of spontaneity to it.

“I was at Game 7,” said McGuffey, senior producer of original content for CSN. “I came back the next day from Cleveland. I just went up to Sarah and was like, ‘I don’t know where or when

John Starks – jstarks@ dailyherald.com

or what, but there’s something there.

At some point, we have to revisit that game.’

“I just told her, ‘It was different at that game. It was just a different feel. I told my boss, Kevin Cross, ‘I think we should do something.’ He said, ‘I don’t know if we’ll have enough time. What do you think the timeline is?’ I’m like, ‘I think it should be out right before Opening Day.’ He was like, ‘How are we going to get these people?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, but just tell me I can try. All I need is a try.’ ” Lauch, CSN’s executive producer of original content, echoed McGuffey’s sentiments and noted the main hurdle was

the calendar.

“We were doing replays of the playoffs, every win,” she said. “When we started to interview people, we realized, ‘Wow, there’s something here.’ So it started with (Cubs manager) Joe Maddon and then went to Rossy (catcher David Ross).

At that point, we’re like, ‘Wow, but we also need definitely Heyward, (pitcher Jon) Lester and everybody else.’ ” The show features the key action from Game 7 and the recollections of players, Maddon, team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer.

Ross came into the game to catch Lester, who relieved starter Kyle Hendricks.

He talked about contributing to Cleve-

land’s comeback as the Indians scored two runs in the fifth to pull within 5-3. He then hit a solo homer in the sixth.

“When I came in and I threw that ball (away) … and then that other ball kicked off my mask and I tripped over my own feet and two runs score, I’m thinking to myself, ‘Are you kidding me? I’ve been in the game for five minutes and I just let two runs in,’ ” he said.

The Indians tied the game when Rajai Davis hit a homer off Aroldis Chapman. The rain hit, and Heyward gave his now-famous speech.

“I didn’t even do it to lead anything,” Heyward says in the documentary. “I was just being myself. I did it because I give a damn. When I told them I love them, I meant it because they saw that in me already. To hear guys appreciate it and respect it and say those things, it’s awesome. It gives me chills every time somebody talks about it, but I just did what I did (for our team).”

Yes, you’ve seen it before. You’ve heard it all before.

But you haven’t seen this much focus on Game 7. That’s why “Reign Men” is so compelling.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

With no options left, will Szczur stay or go?

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Matt Szczur heard Joe Maddon’s public praise of him.

What it means, though, is another question.

“I feel like Joe puts a lot of messages in the media, and he lets us know that,” the Cubs outfielder said Sunday. “So it’s up in the air to me. I know he likes me.

Apparently he loves me. So it’s a good feeling, to be wanted.”

But by whom? Because he is out of minor-league options, Szczur could be traded if the Cubs decide he won’t fit on the Opening Night roster Sunday against the Cardinals.

Maddon was effusive in his appreciation for Szczur on Saturday – “I love Matt,” he said – but was sending a message. Asked if Maddon was stumping for his inclusion on the Cubs roster or advertising his services to other teams with those words, Szczur smiled.

“I think he was doing a little bit of both,” Szczur said before the Cubs lost

a split-squad game to the Padres, 9-4. “I don’t think anything he said was false. I think that he’s honest, and I appreciate his honesty.

“I try to do everything for the team, and all I wanna do is win, whether it’s coming off the bench or starting. For me, I’m trying to help this team right now that I’m on win.”

An American League source said the Cubs are “listening” to proposals for Szczur. The Twins and Matt Szczur Braves are interested in Szczur – and are among the many teams that could give him more at-bats than the Cubs, who have Jason Heyward, Kyle Schwarber, John Jay and Albert Almora slated for the outfield.

Infielders Ben Zobrist and Kris Bryant can man the corner outfield spots, too – but the sheer number of part-time outfielders doesn’t necessarily equate to quality depth.

Increased playing time on another team has its appeal, Szczur said.

“Obviously it would be enticing,” he said. “But for me right now I’m trying to win the day right here. I put myself in a good position for this team or whatever team I’m on.”

Perhaps the Giants could be a good fit – but it’s doubtful the Cubs would deal him to another National League contender. Maddon made it clear Saturday that he views Szczur as a big-league player.

He’ll be that next week, whether it’s with the Cubs or someone else.

“It forces their hand to kinda make a move,” Szczur said of being out of minor-league options. “Whether they want me on the roster or want to make a move otherwise.”

Maddon said the Cubs hadn’t yet decided between Szczur and left-handed-hitting infielder Tommy La Stella, who went 1 for 3 with an RBI in Las Vegas and is hitting .273 with two homers and three RBIs this spring. La Stella has options left, although, and the Cubs won’t let his three-week holdout after last year’s minor-league demotion dissuade them from sending him down.

CUBS 22, REDS 4, Las Vegas PADRES 9, CUBS 4, Mesa, Ariz.

Big numbers in Vegas: Alec Mills gave up a big first inning and was tagged with the loss in the home half of the split-squad doubleheader, and Albert Almora hit two home runs to drive in five runs in the Cubs’ rout of the Reds in Las Vegas. The Cubs scored 33 runs in their two Vegas games against the Reds – in 16 innings because they were the designated home team in both.

Signs of life? Jason Heyward’s monthslong swing-resurrection process produced a home run Saturday, and he walked three times Sunday against the Padres – which isn’t exactly swinging the bat but suggests a comfort level as the season fast approaches. A few days earlier, manager Joe Maddon said he liked Heyward’s approach “a lot, not a little bit,” despite lack of results this spring. “The results are going to eventually show up; I absolutely believe that,” the manager said. “I could see it all coming together for him.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

The White Sox’s Todd Frazier hits during a spring training game against the Cubs on March 17 in Phoenix.

“This time I am really trying to hone in on seeing some pitches, swinging at strikes.

“My body feels good. Everything is good, where I want it to be. I’m working on some stuff, so the numbers might not be there. I’m pleased with the approach going to the opposite field.’’

Frazier, 31, will be a free agent after the season, which makes him a trade candidate, if not now by the time the trade deadline nears in late July for sure. And there is the added pressure

of putting up big numbers to build his portfolio for free agency.

“It’s a huge year coming up for me,’’ he said. “I talked to Trick [hitting coach Todd Steverson] about being who you are, not trying to do too much and everything will take care of itself.’’

With home-run years of 29, 35 and 40 in his last three years, including two with the Reds, Frazier ranks first among third basemen with 142 homers since 2012. Forty was the most by a Sox third baseman and he ranks third among ac-

Tilson’s recovery to be slow but no DL

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Charlie Tilson’s recovery from a stress reaction in his right foot will be slow, but as of now the outfield prospect isn’t headed for a stint on the 60day disabled list.

Tilson, who tore his hamstring in his Sox debut last season after the Sox acquired the prospect from the Cardinals for lefty Zach Duke, had the foot re-evaluated and will keep it in a walking boot for another three weeks.

He had the inside track on starting in center field but barely got on the field this spring.

As of now, with Opening Day a week from Monday, it appears as though Peter Bourjos will start in center, although Jacob May, who has no major league experience, is batting .364 with three triples this spring and has shown enough in with his overall game to force the issue.

The Sox would have to make room on the 40-man roster for Bourjos, 29, but there

is wiggle room. Rather than get May’s service time clock running now, they could bring him up later this season.

Manager Rick Renteria wasn’t tipping his hand on which way the Sox are leaning.

“We’re still looking at Bourjy and May,’’ he said. “Everybody forgets [infielder] Leury [Garcia] also plays center field.

We have three options available to us.’’

Tilson, meanwhile, will rehab the foot in Arizona with hopes of becoming one again. It will be take four-to-six weeks after Tilson is out of the boot before he would be expected to play again.

“It’s a very significant injury,’’ he said.

“He has had some ups and downs,’’ Renteria said. “We’re not too concerned about it. We hope he continues to do what he’s done as he finished the last season and when the season starts he continues to be more on that path than another.’’

Ynoa and Anthony Swarzak appear to be have the inside tracks on joining David Robertson, Nate Jones, Dan Jennings, Zach Putnam and Jake Petricka in the bullpen to start the season.

Ynoa in 2009 was rated as the A’s No. 3 prospect.

He allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings, and the damage would have been worse save for a pickoff of Chris Marrero at third base and Jimmy Rollins thrown out third at by second baseman Tyler Saladino after bouncing a double off the wall.

Shields struck out two, and he did put four zeroes on the board.

The Sox bench emptied and celebrated with almost as much gusto as a regular season game.

• Monday, March 27, 2017

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The only eventful thing about Todd Frazier’s spring has been an oblique strain that put him on the shelf. The White Sox third baseman is healthy again and playing regularly, but making very little noise – no homers, no RBIs and a .161 batting average while striking out only six times.

“You’ll get that first homer today,’’ first-base coach Daryl Boston said Sunday morning, needling a veteran he knew would take it in stride.

“You’ll get a knuckle sandwich,’’ Frazier said, firing back in jest.

It was all in good fun for Frazier, who did not get that first homer in the Sox’ Cactus League game against the Giants Sunday afternoon. He went 0-for-3 with three ground ball outs.

Frazier arrived at camp this spring following a season in which he posted career highs with 40 homers and 98 RBIs while batting .225 – a career low – bent on hitting the ball to right field. The goal is to use more of the field and hike the average when the real games begin this season.

He says he’s sticking with the plan.

For once.

“I always come into spring training wanting to work on something and after the first swing it’s ‘OK let’s go back to the way I am,’ ‘’ Frazier said Sunday.

tive third baseman with a .966 fielding percentage, behind Martin Prado and Evan Longoria.

Even with one season on the South Side, his experience and personality equate to a leadership role.

“He’s somebody I can lean toward,’’ said 23-year-old shortstop Tim Anderson, who mans the left side of the infield with Frazier. “We built a good relationship last year and it keeps getting better and better. Playing beside him made me feel more comfortable. He’s somebody you want to be around, off and on the field.’’

Frazier says he’s “100 percent” healthy after dealing with a sprained left finger early in camp and the oblique.

With three Cactus League games left and two exhibitions in Milwaukee, “all I care about is how I’m feeling at the plate,’’ Frazier said.

“We’ll start ramping it up. There will be a time where it’s ‘go time.’ ‘It’s getting there. I get an off day [Monday]. After tomorrow we’ll start getting after it.’’

Getting after points on the average.

“That’s a huge goal,’’ he said. “I’m a .250 hitter. Let’s be realistic, I’m not gong to hit .315 or. 320. I’d like to but that means I’m going to hit 15 home runs. I could do it but you have to be realistic with yourself and be who you are. The power will be there, so let’s get the average up and get those runners in scoring position in.’’

SOUTH REGIONAL FINAL North Carolina 75, Kentucky 73: At MEMPHIS, Tenn., the North Carolina Tar Heels now are a win away from getting back to a national championship game they narrowly lost a year ago.

And this time, they made the last shot.

Luke Maye hit a jumper with 0.3 seconds left and top-seeded North Carolina held off Kentucky to earn the Tar Heels’ second straight trip to the Final Four and 20th all-time in Sunday’s showdown of college basketball’s elite in the South Regional.

The Tar Heels (31-7) will play Midwest champ Oregon on Saturday in Glendale, Arizona, in a national semifinal.

North Carolina took control with 12 straight points over the final five minutes, a run similar to what it used a week ago to beat Arkansas.

The Tar Heels finished this game with a 16-9 run. Kentucky’s freshmen De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk hit three quick 3s, the last two by Monk. Monk’s second shot with 7.2 seconds left and defenders in his face tied it up at 73.

Theo Pinson brought the ball down and passed back to Maye. The sophomore from Huntersville, North Carolina, knocked it down for the win with his feet on the 3-point line.

Maye finished with 17 points off the bench for North Carolina.

Carolina (North): Your tour guide

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press) PHOENIX – Consider North Carolina the tour guide at this year’s Final Four. The Tar Heels will be making their record 20th trip, and most of the players on this year’s roster were on hand last season to find out all about the agony of coming oh-so close to winning it all.

For the rest of the guests, it’s all uncharted territory.

Gonzaga finally parlayed two decades of excellence into its first trip to college basketball’s showcase.

South Carolina’s entire history in the NCAA tournament could’ve been compiled on a cocktail napkin.

And Oregon? Well, the Ducks have been to the tournament before and won it all. But that was back in 1939, the first year of the event, and decades before the phrase “Final Four” became as common as “dribble,” ‘’pass,” or “shoot.”

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Oregon coach Dana Altman, the 10th man to hold that job since Howard Hobson, who doubled as the school’s baseball coach, led the title team called the Tall Firs eight decades ago. “Now we just need to go and continue to play well.”

Gonzaga opened as a 61/2-point favorite against South Carolina in the opening game next Saturday night at University of Phoenix Stadium

in Glendale, Arizona. According to ESPN Stats & Info, it’s the first meeting between Final Four first-timers since 1973. In the second game, North Carolina opened as a 41/2-point pick over Oregon.

For South Carolina – coached by the equal-parts angry and effervescent Frank Martin – being an underdog at this point is a good thing. It means there’s still a chance, something Gamecocks basketball never really had before Martin arrived.

Before this season, South Carolina hadn’t posted a win in the NCAA tournament since 1973.

“Personally, I didn’t know where this program could go,” Gamecocks sophomore P.J. Dozier said after his team’s 77-70 win over Florida. “But I know that when Frank Martin stepped foot on campus, you just got this vibe that the ball was rolling.”

It’s been rolling at Gonzaga since Mark Few took over in 1999. Problem is, there was seemingly always a bigger team from a bigger conference standing in the way of that program – from a campus of 7,400 in Spokane, Washington – taking the final step. Last year, the Bulldogs lost a 3-point heartbreaker to Syracuse in the Sweet 16. Seeded second the year before, Gonzaga couldn’t hang with No. 1 Duke and lost by 14 in the Elite Eight.

Led by tenacious guards Nigel Williams-Goss and Josh Perkins and

7-foot-1 center Przemek Karnowski, the Bulldogs broke through big time this year, beating Xavier, 83-59, on Saturday night.

“I’ve been there 28 years,” Few said, counting his first nine seasons as an assistant. “My first year on staff we won four Division I games.

And, I mean, this wasn’t even possible. And each year we got better and better, and then we got really, really good.”

North Carolina has been good for decades, and has more than enough history to make up for the other teams. Luke Maye made the winning jumper with 0.3 seconds left for a 7573 victory over Kentucky. This will be the Tar Heels’ fifth trip to the Final Four under the guidance of coach Roy Williams, and their second straight.

They have spent the last year seeing their nightmare finish to the 2016 tournament replayed on an endless loop of highlight shows and March Madness videos. Villanova’s Kris Jenkins hit a shot at the buzzer in the title game, only seconds after Tar Heels guard Marcus Paige made a double-clutch 3 to tie it.

“I just think about it all the time,” said Joel Berry II, one of three current Tar Heels who were on the floor when Jenkins hit the game-winning shot. “Four seconds made a difference in my life. I wish I could get those four seconds back, but I can’t.”

• Monday, March 27, 2017

EAST REGIONAL FINAL South Carolina 77, Florida 70: At New York, South Carolina added a missing piece to its rich basketball history.

The school of Frank McGuire, Kevin Joyce, Brian Winters, Mike Dunleavy and Alex English is going to the Final Four for the first time.

Add the names Sindarius Thornwell and Frank Martin to the top of the list.

Thornwell’s 26 points and the Gamecocks’ swarming zone defense meant a victory over Florida on Sunday and a berth in the Final Four.

Martin, he of the booming voice and terrifying faces, led the seventh-seeded Gamecocks to the biggest victory in school history and now they will face Gonzaga, the No. 1 seed from the West Regional, in the Final Four on Saturday at Glendale, Arizona.

The game was as close as expected until the final minute. There were 14 lead changes and 10 ties. The last lead change came on two free throws by Thornwell with 2:24 left that made it 65-63. Fourth-seeded Florida managed just three field goals over the final 3:55.

Thornwell, the regional MVP, followed the deciding free throws with a nice assist to Maik Kotsar for a 4-point lead. It seemed Thornwell, who scored eight straight points for the Gamecocks, was always where he needed to be including making a steal with 40 seconds left that turned into a 73-68 lead.

PJ Dozier added 17 points for the Gamecocks, Chris Silva had 13 and Kotsar 12.

pulled away in the second half for a 10994 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday to keep pace in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Mirotic tied a season high with 28 points, while Butler had 20 points and a career-high 14 assists. It was the third straight game with double-digit assists Butler leads Bulls past Bucks for Butler, who also is the Bulls’ leading MILWAUKEE – Jimmy Butler rarely scorer (23.6 points). passed up opportunities to share the ball. Nikola Mirotic took advantage of his “My mantra is always to pass the ball to the open guy whether it’s late game, open shots.

Inspired by unselfish play, the Bulls early game,” Butler said.

The Bulls have won two of three games, with Butler reaching double-digit assists and Mirotic scoring 28 in each victory. Against Milwaukee, Mirotic was the beneficiary of open looks with Butler and Rajon Rondo (nine assists) drawing defenders on drives into the lane.

“I just don’t think we trusted our defense tonight like we should have,” Milwaukee forward Khris Middleton said. Butler and Rondo “did a great job of collapsing our defense and finding guys.”

It’s an ideal formula for the Bulls to stay in the playoff picture with eight games left in the regular season.

The Bulls were tied with Detroit coming into the day, 11/2 games behind Miami for the final playoff spot. The Bulls also finished the season series against Milwaukee at 1-3, avoiding a sweep by their Central Division rival.

1-up victory over Jon Rahm for his third straight win that left no doubt who was No. 1 in the world.

Dorleant was detained after authorities said he approached officers “in a threatening manner” after Hall’s arrest.

Both men played college football in Cedar Falls at Northern Iowa.
